Personal Cosmic Baseball Game Report US Archivists @ Electronic Content Managers http://www.cosmicbaseball.com/usarchecmgame.html Published: January 14, 2007 COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION 3054.70

The eighth Archivist of the United States hit a double in the top of the seventh inning that scored the fifth Archivist. That was the US Archivists third and winning run, making John W. Carlin the game's MCP. The ninth U.S. Archivist could also have been selected for the MCP honor. Allen Weinstein pitched a very good complete game. Is it possible that the official scorer, Charles Ferguson, co-author of Computer Wars: The Fall of IBM and the Future of Global Technology was leaking a small amount of bias. If we knew Mr. Ferguson's political orientation we might better answer the question. Weinstein's appointment as the ninth and current archivist did not come about without controversy. And since most of the current political controversy is fueled by the administration of George W. Bush, the 43rd president, it comes as no surprise that the Bush administration was criticized for the way it got rid of the eighth archivist (Mr. Carlin) and seated the ninth (Mr. Weinstein). Some critics speculate that the 43rd president did not want an Archivist who might stir up trouble as a result of Executive Order No. 13233 which will keep secret from the public certain presidential documents associated with the Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43 presidencies. On April 8, 2004, the White House nominated Dr. Allen Weinstein to become the next Archivist of the United States. Prior to the announcement, there was no consultation with professional organizations of archivists or historians. This is the first time since the National Archives and Records Administration was established as an independent agency in 1985 that the process of nominating an Archivist of the United States has not been open for public discussion and input. (Joint Statement on Selection Criteria for the Archivist of the United States by The Society of American Archivists, The National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators, The Council of State Historical Records Coordinators on April 26, 2004) Weinstein, in a questionnaire he filed during his confirmation hearings, indicated he did not intend to challenge E.O. 13233. He wrote, "It would be my responsibility -- so long as E.O. 13233 is in place -- to oversee NARA's legal team in defending the executive order against court challenge." But as a historian, Weinstein has expressed discomfort with certain provisions of the decree. Executive Order #13233 currently stands despite archivists' resentment at the government's politicizing of the business of the agency that manages the records that embody the governmental history of the nation. Karry Kleeman, a veteran of the Mobius company scored both runs for the Electronic Content Managers. Interwoven's top executive, Max Carnecchia pitched an admirable game, giving up three earned runs and getting burned with two unearned runs on firstbaseman Kleeman's error at the top of the ninth inning. This game suggests that public service is of more value than technology innovation in the content management systems arena...at least on the cosmic baseball field.
