BOSTON - New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is focused on this season, not his job status. David Nelson Jersey . With one year left on his contract and senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner leaning toward pursuing a trade for Minnesota ace Johan Santana, Cashman said Saturday hes not thinking about what hell do when his deal runs out. "Because of all the work that gets involved with doing the job, it kind of prevents me from really looking ahead past this year," he said. "Im just doing everything I possibly can to assist the transition with the new manager, the new owners, with the involvement now with the Steinbrenner sons. And then the rest will take care of itself at another time." New York and the Boston Red Sox talked with Minnesota during last months winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn., about Santana, who can become a free agent after the 2008 season. The two-time Cy Young Award winner remains with the Twins and "right now, alls quiet," Cashman said. Asked if he thought Santana would start the season with Minnesota, Boston general manager Theo Epstein said, "I have a hard enough time keeping track of our own players." The Red Sox have made no significant player changes since winning their second World Series title in four seasons. Epstein, Cashman, Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi, agent Scott Boras and Red Sox senior baseball operations adviser Bill James answered questions Saturday at a fundraiser for the Foundation To Be Named Later started by Epstein and his brother, Paul. About 300 fans attended the two-hour session at Fenway Park. The Yankees won four World Series from 1996-2000, then lost in 2001 to Arizona. After that, their emphasis shifted to obtaining proven veterans, Cashman said. Some, like pitcher Kevin Brown, were past their prime. "We got away from some of the core principles of our business operation, which is we just started going all veteran-oriented," Cashman said. "We had a chance to really go into an abyss" early in the 2005 season. Cashman almost left the Yankees when his contract expired after that year. But when he was given full control over baseball operations, allowing him to emphasize his preference for developing young players, he signed a three-year contract. That gave him one more year than manager Joe Torre. After last season, when Torre left for the Los Angeles Dodgers and was replaced by Joe Girardi, and owner George Steinbrenners sons, Hank and Hal, became more involved, Cashman is headed into a season of transition. "Things have changed here in the third year," Cashman said. "Im learning as I go along, too. But it is different. But one thing is that Ive been with this family, the Steinbrenner family, for well over 20 years. So Im focused fully on doing everything I possibly can to assist them in their emergence now as decision makers." Hank Steinbrenner said Friday in Tampa, Fla., that some people in the Yankees organization are leaning against trying to trade for Santana, a deal that likely would cost them right-hander Phil Hughes, centre- fielder Melky Cabrera and another promising youngster. Steinbrenner said the final decision will made by ownership, but Cashmans opinion is significant. "He is the general manager, and he has the right to talk me out of it and he has talked me out of some things," Steinbrenner said. Cashman also said Saturday that "its difficult" to see former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens among five people asked Friday to testify before a U.S. House panel looking into the Mitchell Report on drugs in baseball. Clemens former trainer, Brian McNamee, said in the Mitchell Report that he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998 when Clemens was with Toronto and with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and 2001 while with New York. Clemens has denied the allegations. "Hopefully, at the end of the day, everybody involved will allow us to get to a higher playing field for everybody," Cashman said. "Clearly, what this game is going through right now, and you read about it, its obviously disheartening." Epstein steered away from commenting on the Mitchell Report. "Thats not what Im thinking about right now," he said. "Im thinking about spring training, five, six weeks away, getting back out on the field where the game is played and enjoyed. And our fans have a lot to look forward to."   Peyton Manning Womens Jersey .

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia?- Cambodias prime minister has accused Thailand of firing more than 50,000 artillery and mortar shells in more than a week of border clashes.

Cambodia still face the problem of unexploded ordnance, especially mines, from the Vietnam War era and guerrilla wars in the decades afterward. While much of the area remains inaccessible to journalists, witnesses did not report such intensive fire that could account for so many shells. It is impossible for us to fire such a number of shells, Col. Prawit Hukaew, a spokesman for Thailands army in the northeast, said Wednesday. He put the number of shells fired in the hundreds. The fighting that started April 22 has quieted in recent days. But Thailands state broadcaster MCOT reported a Thai soldier was killed Monday night, bringing the death toll to one Thai civilian and a total of 17 soldiers from both sides. The conflict involves small swaths of land along the border that have been disputed for more than half a century. The latest fighting was the sixth since 2008, when Cambodias 11th-century Preah Vihear temple was given UN World Heritage status over Thailands objections. Local commanders for both countries last Thursday held talks that led to a de facto ceasse-fire, which did not actually end the clashes but reduced their intensity. Peyton Manning Blue Jersey. On Monday, tens of thousands of refugees from the combat zone began returning to their homes. Hun Sen said the two sides regional commanders would meet to seek to implement a true cease-fire. Hun Sen is supposed to meet Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for talks on the border issue at a weekend meeting in Indonesia of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The two countries have tentatively agreed to allow Indonesia observers be stationed at the border and are also seeking more lasting solutions to their dispute. Cambodia last week asked the United Nations highest court to order Thailand to withdraw troops and halt military activity around a temple at the center of a decades-old border dispute that has flared into deadly military clashes. In a request filed April 28 and made available Tuesday on the courts website, Cambodia asked International Court of Justice judges to urgently deal with its request because of the gravity of the situation. Cambodia claims that according to a 1962 ruling by the court the temple is on its territory and warns that if the intervention request is rejected and clashes continue, the damage to the Temple of Preah Vihear, as well as irremediable losses of life and human suffering ... would become worse. Rulings by the court are supposed to be final and binding. Cambodia has formally applied for an interpretation?- a written explanation?- by the court of its 1962 judgment, and argued in its written application that the courts opinion could then serve as a basis for a final resolution of this dispute through negotiation or any other peaceful means.
