T-shirt designers sometimes seem embroiled in a race to the bottom of the offensiveness barrel. However, one purveyor gives us hope with its cute new shirt for girls who get As in math.
ThinkGeek is offering its "No, I Will Not Do Your Math Babydoll" in women's and girls' sizes, because "You know what we're too pretty for? Putting up with anti-intellectualism." Likely a response to JC Penney's now-infamous "Too Pretty For Homework" shirt, ThinkGeek's fun and smart alternative is perfect for the girl who "could do her homework in pen, but she chooses not to, cause that would just be showing off." Adds the retailer, "If a train leaves Chicago at 2 p.m., she's the engineer."
And just to remind you the world is still terrible, here's the latest fuckery from our awful-shirt friends at Urban Outfitters. This garment not only advertises that the wearer is an asshole, it's also really ugly (what's with the bear?). One silver lining: it's been reduced in price from $69 to $4.99. That's some pretty revealing math.

Sept. 25, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - A pair of goals by Ryan Sheffler, the first in his career, led MIT to a 3-0 victory over Clark University on Saturday. Morgan Mills earned the shutout, tying him for first in career shutouts with nine.
The Engineers (3-0-1, 2-0-0 NEWMAC) wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, ending the scoreless tie in the 12th minute. Walter Song set up Ryan Sheffler for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Tech held onto the slim one goal advantage through halftime.
Six minutes into the second stanza, MIT extended its lead when Robert Pilawa connected on a pass from Alex Morgan. Sheffler closed the door on the Cougars, scoring on a feed from Jose Ramon Torradas with 14 minutes left to play.
In the net, Morgan Mills collected five saves for the Engineers.
The next game for MIT will be on Thursday, Sept. 30 when it travels to Gordon College.

MIAMI (AP) Rajon Rondo posted a stat line never before seen in NBA playoff history. He was on the court for every second of a game that finished more than three hours after it started. He scored more points in a single overtime than anyone this season.
His night was called incredible, amazing and unbelievable - and that was by the Miami Heat.
And when it was over, Rondo could only express disappointment that the Boston Celtics needed more.
LeBron James scored 34 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored eight of his 23 points in overtime and the Heat took a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals with a 115-111 win over the Celtics on Wednesday night, overcoming what will surely go down as the best game of Rondo's career to move within six wins of an NBA title.
"We lost," Rondo said, shrugging off talk of the historical ramifications of his night. "Simple as that."
Rondo's final numbers: 44 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds. He scored all 12 of Boston's overtime points, giving the Celtics the lead three times, only to have the Heat answer each of those. And when he finally missed in the extra session - on a play where Rondo said he got struck in the face by Wade - then and only then could Miami put Boston away.
Game 3 is Friday night in Boston, where the Celtics will try to make this a series. No Celtics team has successfully rallied from an 0-2 hole since 1969.
"He really played his heart out and carried the load for us offensively," Celtics forward Paul Pierce said. "He shot the ball, did everything possible you could ask for in him. You just hate to see an effort like that really go to waste."
Mario Chalmers scored 22 points for Miami, which got 13 points, 11 rebounds and three assists off the bench from Udonis Haslem. The entire Celtics bench combined for seven points, five rebounds and one assist.
Miami trailed by 15 points in the first half, making this the largest deficit the Heat have overcome to win a playoff game in their history. Miami had rallied from 14 points down to win twice before in the postseason, one of those being the game that clinched the 2006 NBA title.
"There just can't be any other way with this team," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "And it has to be the hard way."
The Heat won on a night where so many things - Rondo's effort included - suggested that they were in going to be in trouble.
There was the big early deficit, a 7-for-20 shooting effort from the floor by James, Wade going scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, 16 missed free throws and two missed chances to win - both shots by James - at the end of regulation.
And if all that wasn't enough, Boston's Big Four were Big again. Pierce scored 21 points before fouling out. Kevin Garnett scored 18 points and added eight rebounds. Ray Allen, ailing right ankle and all, went through two gameday shooting workouts to try to snap out of a slump and apparently did, finishing with 13 points, the last three of those coming on a 3-pointer that tied the game at 99-all with 34.3 seconds left in regulation.
Miami managed to survive it all. Haslem's dunk with 1:28 left in overtime to put Miami on top for good, Wade had a three-point play with 59.7 seconds left, and the Heat won their sixth straight East finals game going back to last season.
"One of the best games I've played in, win or lose," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "It's easier said when you win - but it's unbelievable."
Miami was down by as many as 11 in the third quarter, before a pair of 3-pointers by James started a comeback. Wade made consecutive jumpers midway through the third to shake off a slow start to his night, and the 2006 NBA finals MVP set up Haslem for a three-point play that gave Miami its first lead since the opening minutes, 73-71.
As Haslem's shot dropped, Wade spun at midcourt and punched the air. More highlights followed.
Miami's lead reached seven points in the third after James blocked Pierce's shot near the rim, sending the ball high into the air and starting a sequence that was capped by a three-point play from Wade, pushing the margin to 78-71. It capped a 12-0 run for the Heat, who took an 81-75 lead into the fourth.
James stole the ball from Rondo early in the fourth, drove down the court and got wrapped up by Mickael Pietrus, who was assessed a clear-path foul, meaning Miami got two free throws and the ball. James missed both foul shots, Mike Miller missed a 3-pointer later in the possession, and the lead stayed at 85-81.
Barely a minute later, it was gone. Pietrus hit a 3-pointer, Rondo followed with a steal and layup and Boston led 86-85. The margin was out to five with 3:50 left after a jumper by Pierce, and the Celtics looked to be in control.
"We never felt like we were out of it," Wade said.
They were right. A 9-0 run gave Miami the lead back, before Allen's 3 tied the game. James missed a layup with 21 seconds left, but got his own rebound and extended the possession. He tried a jumper with 2 seconds left to win it, the shot missed, and the teams went to overtime, where the reigning MVP missed two more free throws to start the extra period.
"LeBron James took 24 free throws tonight," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "And our team took 29."
Miami finished 31 of 47 from the line, Boston was 26 of 29. The Celtics were called for 33 personal fouls, Miami 18.
Rondo nearly rendered all those talking points moot. He was 4 for 5 from the floor in overtime, but with Pierce having fouled out and Garnett and Allen having combined to play over 80 minutes at that point, it seemed like Rondo was going 1-on-5.
He almost pulled it off.
"Rondo was absolutely amazing," James said. "The performance he put on tonight will go down in the record books."

Mumbai, Nov 21 : Smita Salaskar, wife of slain encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar who fell victim to the bullets of terrorists during the Mumbai carnage, today described the hanging of Ajmal Kasab as a "homage" to her husband.
"Though the execution was delayed, Kasab was finally hanged. With this hanging, homage has been paid to my husband. But the real homage will be the conviction of other accused shielded in Pakistan," Smita said.
Thanking President Pranab Mukherjee for rejecting the mercy plea of the Pakistani gunman, Smita said, "Late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray had also demanded Kasab's hanging. His wish and our wish have been finally fulfilled."
"The entire family is happy to hear the news that Kasab was hanged, ahead of fourth anniversary of the attack," Smita said.
The hanging would surely send a message across the globe that India would not tolerate any terror attack, Smita said, adding, "I hope death sentence of Parliament House attack convict Afzal Guru would also be executed soon."
Police Inspector Salaskar was among the first causalities along with ATS chief Hemant Karkare and Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte during the November 2008 attacks on the megapolis.

OEM Showcase: Oklahoma-Based Newell Coach
July 8, 2010 by Bob Ashley · 3 Comments
Along with the rest of the American economy, the niche occupied by Newell Coach Corp.'s high-end motorhomes is emerging from the economic maelstrom that has enveloped the RV industry the last two years.
And it's emerging as an even narrower slice of the U.S. economy than it was prior to the Great Recession.
"The high-end market definitely is coming back," said Newell President Karl Blade. "We have a relatively healthy order bank coming out of the debacle that has been this economy.
"Interestingly, from what we've seen, the biggest change in recent months has been our late-model pre-owned (coach buyers) filling the void left by others (manufacturers) that have exited the market," said Blade.
A legendary brand in the motorhome business, Newell was founded in 1967 by L.K. Newell who purchased the motorhome division of California-based Streamline Trailer Co. and moved it to Oklahoma. Blade purchased the company in 1979.
"Mr. Newell's innovation at the time was radical," Blade said. "We take it for granted now, but he built the first rear-engine motorhome in 1969 and the first diesel-powered motorhome in 1970. He also designed the first basement storage. It took years for the rest of the industry to adopt those things."
Newell coaches, whicht sell for more than $1.4 million, are retailed factory-direct from the company's headquarters in Miami, Okla., where Newell also has an extensive service facility.
Although the company offers floorplans in 38- to 45-foot lengths, the vast majority of customers want 45-footers. "The price savings aren't significant if you build a smaller coach," Blade said. "And people won't buy small stuff unless they can save a lot of money."
Selling expensive motorcoaches requires a personal approach to marketing and that's among the reasons Blade spends the winter at Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, Calif.
"I spend three months every winter in Indio to show the product and cultivate relationships with our existing customer base," Blade said.
With dealer inventories of other high-end motorhomes limited by the current economic situation, Newell is seeing new customers who previously might not have considered buying a coach factory-direct.
- Company: Newell Coach Corp.
- (www.newellcoach.com)
- Location: Miami, Okla.
- Founded: 1967
- Products: Luxury Class A motorhomes
- Key personnel: Karl Blade, president; Boyd Vanover, vice president of engineering; Scott Lawson, vice president of manufacturing; John Clark, vice president of service
- Facilities: 150,00-square-foot factory in Miami, including a 40,000-square-foot service department manned by 20 technicians.
- Employees: 150
"Too often, prospects would go to their nearest local dealer and look at a new high-end Class A and that's what they'd buy," Blade said. "We never saw them. Today you don't see many new or used high-end Class A's on dealers' lots in California. It's (the economy) expanding the market dramatically for us."
Newell, in turn, has become popular among motorsports participants. "The motorsports people understand the premium nature of the components in Newell coaches and appreciate it," Blade said. "The first Newell motorhome that we sold into the motorsports area was to (Indy 500 driver) Al Unser Sr. Al Unser Jr. came along a few years later and, in 1984, Roger Penske bought one. That started a trend in IndyCar and NASCAR."
Sales of pre-owned coaches are an important part of Newell's business, according to Blade.
Typically, Newell will take a two- or three-year-old coach in trade and refurbish it before resale. "It's very similar to the way we sell a new coach," Blade said. "It's not custom, but we'll make modifications, depending on financial factors. We might add closets or entertainment centers or pull a desk out and change it to a sofa. It's limited by the fact that if you get very deep into it, it gets expensive."
Blade said that in-house service that Newell provides at its headquarters "is key to this business."
"We pioneered having a 24/7 service telephone number," Blade said. "We can handle most emergencies on the phone, and if we can't fix it, we can usually design a work-around. Our average response time from when the tech gets paged and gets back to the customer is 20 minutes. In a product of this price range and this complexity, a direct relationship with the customer makes for a much better experience."
Custom-built Newell motorcoaches retail for upward of $1.4 million in 38- to 45-foot floorplans built on the company's own 63,300-pound GVWR "bridge-truss" diesel pusher chassis powered by 650-hp Cummins ISX engines.
Modifications to the 2011 welded-steel-and-aluminum Newell motorcoaches are the first since the 2006 model year. They include upgraded front caps with bright-white "string-of-pearl" LED running lights that outline the outer edges of the headlights plus rear-body trim and redesigned side moldings. Interiors feature wood windowsill trim bordered with seamed leather, carbon-fiber instrument panels and automated air conditioning and heating.
Interiors sport high-pressure laminate cabinet finishes, European-style concealed hinges, deluxe drawer glides, positive drawer latches with flush drawer fronts, pull-out pantries in most floorplans, rectangular integrated kitchen sinks, California king side-island beds and Villa convertible sofas and reclining chairs.

Box Score
(Game One)
Box Score (Game Two)
WORCESTER, Mass. - WPI Softball earned a doubleheader sweep over MIT, 8-0 and 4-1, in NEWMAC softball action on Monday. The wins and subsequent coin flip allow WPI to claim the sixth and final spot in the NEWMAC Tournament. WPI improved to 14-21 and 6-10 in the conference, while MIT sees its season come to an end with a 6-21 record and 3-13 mark in the NEWMAC.
The 6-10 NEWMAC record tied the Engineers with Wheaton for the sixth and final spot in the postseason tournament. The two teams had split their doubleheader on Friday and had identical results versus every team in the league as well as the same record versus common non-conference opponents. In accordance with the NEWMAC tiebreaker, a coin flip was held following the game at Babson College, home of NEWMAC offices. The Crimson and Gray won the flip and earned a spot in the NEWMAC Tournament for the first time since 2006.
WPI starter Allie Hardy kept her string of dominating performances going, tossing five shutout innings in the opener for her 10th win of the season (10-5). The freshman only allowed one hit, a Katie Harrington infield single in the second inning. She struck out four in game one and lowered her ERA to 0.90 in her rookie season. Jessica Oleinik started for MIT and took the loss, falling to 1-8 on the season.
After MIT threatened in the top of the first of game one but did not score, WPI struck first in the home half, plating five runs to take command early. Nicole Maglione led off the inning with a walk before Kelly Johnson set up the WPI rally by reaching on a bunt single down the first base line. Following a wild pitch that moved up the runners, Jen Richards reached base via a dropped third strike and throwing error that sent home both runners for a 2-0 WPI lead. MIT recorded the first out of the inning on a fielder's choice before Kim Martilla walked. Amanda Martori laid down a sac bunt attempting to move the runners into scoring position, but a throwing error allowed her to reach, while a run scored and Martilla moved to third. Martori then stole second with Martilla scoring on the throw, and moved to third on a wild pitch. She scored the last run of the rally as Meg Foley delivered her with a clean single to left for a 5-0 lead after one for the home club.
WPI was back at it in the bottom of the second, scoring two more runs to pad its lead. Maglione started things again, leading the inning off with a single. After MIT registered an out via strikeout, Richards drove a 1-0 pitch to deep left for her ninth home run of the season and a 7-0 WPI lead. Maglione also drove home the clinching run on a single to left in the bottom of the fifth. Richards and Maglione were honored between games in WPI's senior day festivities, along with senior catcher Sara Migdal. Richards went 1-for-3 with 2 RBIs in game one, while Maglione reached all four times, had three base hits, scored two runs and drove in one in the first game of her final home regular-season NEWMAC doubleheader.
The Crimson and Gray also got off to a good start in game two, scoring two runs in the second inning for an early 2-0 advantage. Migdal led off the inning with an infield single on the left side and moved to second on a wild pitch. Martilla followed with a base hit to center that moved Migdal to third. Martilla t then stole second for the second time of the afternoon before Martori drove Migdal home with the game's first run on a single to center. Martilla later scored on a fielder's choice, giving the home side a 2-0 lead after two.
In MIT's half of the fourth, the visitors were able to cut the WPI lead in half, thanks to a solo home run to right off the bat of Jenny Li, making the score 2-1. WPI responded however, tacking on two more runs for a 4-1 edge. Martilla singled with one out in the inning, followed by Martori reaching on a fielder's choice that forced Martilla out. Foley then drove a double into the gap in left-center, plating Martori before she came around to score herself on a throwing error that made the score 4-1 after four innings.
Erin Flaherty got the start for WPI and pitched well in going the full seven innings, allowing one run on five hits and striking out six. She improved her mark to 3-8 on the season.
Abby Van Hook started for MIT, suffering the loss to fall to 0-6 on the year. Chelsea Ostrander ripped a double for the visiting Engineers while Jessica Iacobucci and Kaitlyn McCartney each added a single.
WPI now moves on to the NEWMAC Tournament, which will get underway on Wednesday. The Engineers will face Clark at 2:30pm at Wellesley College, with the winner playing the host Blue immediately after. The three-day, double-elimination tournament will conclude this weekend at Coast Guard.

We will once again depart with the idea that Joseph Beuys's work appears unfathomable.
Looking at images of Joseph Beuys's work is like looking at photographs of the Museum of the Apocalypse. It appears as his arrangements and objects are the collected items of the sole survivor of the Apocalypse– It is of no surprise that Anselm Kiefer, whose work would fit well in this imaginary museum, is one of his artistic offsprings. The objects appear compiled by a lone figure who roams the desiccated remains of the world after the Apocalypse, haunted by his own amnesia. Beuys begins ever more painfully to appear as a proto-messianic figure that came too late. The world we live now appears entirely different from the one that produced those objects, especially when they are traces and remains of objects that appear to have lost their practical use. Compiling these objects is an attempt to make sense of them, to give them entirely new meaning. These objects perhaps appear beautiful to us, but that is only for their strangeness, the unanswered questions they provoke. It is as if we can hear the artist asking: Where did all this hair come from? What is all this felt for? That quest for meaning is never resolved. Neither for the artist, nor for us. Detached from the artist these objects are susceptible to an infinite amount of projections, but in the context of Beuys, of the period of German reconstruction, it is not difficult to imagine the troubled artist searching for his own humanity, as we search–relentlessly and without avail–for ours in his objects.
There are countless photographs of Beuys sitting in at non-violent demonstrations, singing with a rock band in front of 500,000 for a peace demonstration, attending meetings for Germany's Green Party, running as a Green Party representative in Parliament, and his participation in the occupation of West German Radio. Beuys-the-activist is perhaps the aspect of his persona he is most often remembered for. "Appeal for an Alternative" exemplifies Beuys basic political concerns and his ideas for a new party. Beuys's larger historical role is attributed to bringing art back into public discourse in West Germany. The synthesis of Beuys's artistic and political practice is expressed in his concept of expanded art.
It is perhaps now clearer, this author hopes, how Beuys is influential for contemporary art, and how he marks a point of departure for socially engaged art. But, what has the criticism and reception of Beuys revealed about the trajectory of art?
Beuys today is not referred to as often as Duchamp or Warhol in discourse about contemporary art–Danto is accurate to point out. The fact that he is not a Duchamp or a Warhol reveals something about his work: Duchamp's and Warhol's place in the history of art is stable, undisputed, and seemingly clear–Beuys' place is still precarious. The varied and conflicting facets of Beuys's prolific career cannot be reconciled into a cohesive artistic vision because it can be interpreted in opposite ways, either as socially engaged or isolated due to its shamanism. The bewilderment surrounding Beuys's practice is fueled by an unresolved issue: there is both continuity and discontinuity with art practices of the pre-war period, and furthermore whether these correspondences place him within a modernist avant-garde or something else. Particularly through his concept of social sculpture, the break with the pre-war period can be attributed to the shifting away, though not entirely, from formalist or object/image centered practices, because these were understood to claim art's autonomy in that era. These claims have been critiqued mainly because they either refrained from, or failed to, address the principal crisis of the 20th century—first, the crisis of capitalism in WWI, and later the Left's failure to overcome capitalism expressed in the barbarism of WWII. Beuys continues the prewar tradition of the engaged modernist avant-garde, but he also resonates with dominant artistic practices who seek to break away from that tradition.
Severing with artists of the past is a principal symptomatic trait of contemporary art – a characteristic acutely expressed in Beuys's work. Arguably, since the 60s an increasing number of artists have become interested in breaking with, instead of working through, past artistic practices. This shift, largely "post"-modernist, expressed in art, is often a shift whose principal concern is to break from the discourse, or theoretical propositions, those artistic practices where historically bound to. Theorists like Bourriaud, who promulgate that historical break are equally complicit. Bourriaud himself, as Claire Bishop notes in "Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics," infrequently mentioned Beuys in Relational Aesthetics: "on one occasion [Beuys] is specifically invoked to sever any connection between "social sculpture" and relational aesthetics (p. 30)." The discourse surrounding Bourriaud's promulgation of relational aesthetics is a dead end for engaging Beuys critically although they share the same symptomatic trait of breaking with the past. For reason's articulated in part I of this essay, Beuys's "expanded concept of art," although influential for socially engaged artists, shall not be reduced to the discourse around relational aesthetics either. As a theory, relational aesthetics is incompatible with Beuys's work, but reductionist of most contemporary art being made, including Jeremy Deller's and Thomas Hirschorn's, who are themselves responding to a problem—that of the relationship of art to life–that arose historically and intensified in Beuys.
One of the most important contributors to the study of post-1945 art today, art historian and critic Benjamin Buchloh famously critiques Beuys in his Artforum article "Joseph Beuys: Twilight of the Idol", in response to a 1979 exhibition at the Guggenheim. Buchloh is well known for believing that the task of critics is "to brush contemporary art reception against the grain," quoting from Walter Benjamin's famous phrase. Buchloh, admittedly, is just one of the many critics who have taken up the task of examining Beuys's work, but his particular approach goes into the deep historical problems revealed in the art itself. At the hands of Buchloh, Beuys's work receives a critique that raises broader art historical concerns, and comprehensive politico-aesthetic critique.
In "Joseph Beuys: Twilight of the Idol," Buchloh embarks in a muckraking campaign intended to demystify Beuys's 'myth of origin.' Buchloh's critique-via-defamation is framed as an art historical problem that should propel Beuys's admirers to reconsider the entire body of work as mere fiction, however, this is less an attack on the validity of Beuys's 'myth of origins,' as an artist, but more a ruthless critique of the political implications of his practice. For Buchloh, the main dilemma in Beuys work lies "in the misconception that politics could have ever become a matter of aesthetics." This statement immediately follows his concluding point:
"The aesthetic conservatism of Beuys is logically complemented by his politically retrograde, not to say reactionary, attitudes. Both are inscribed into a seemingly progressive and radical humanitarian program of aesthetics and social evolution… any attempt on his side to join the two aspects results in curious sectarianism." Buchloh articulates the aesthetic conservatism of Beuys by demonstrating his appropriation of devices and forms of the historical avant-garde into his work, while simultaneously rejecting their original, i.e. historically determined, meaning. The conservatism lies in Beuys "failure or refusal to change the state of the object within the discourse itself." Buchloh finds its most acute expression when Beuys talks about his 1964 Fat Chair: "The presence of the chair has nothing to do with Duchamp's readymades, or his combination of stool with bicycle wheel, although they share the same initial impact with humorous objects." For Buchloh, Beuys "dilutes and dissolves the conceptual precision of Duchamp's readymades by reintegrating the object into the most traditional and naïve context of representation of meaning, the idealist metaphor: this object stands for that idea, and that idea is represented in this object."
Beuys's claims to radical ahistoricity, besides being "a maneuver to disguise his eclecticism," is problematic in that it extracts elements from the pre-war avant-garde and removes them from their historical context and function. Buchloh is concerned with the political implications of Beuys's idea to take the tools and techniques of the historical avant-garde's art, while they functioned as an end in themselves, and utilize them as a means for the creative transformation of society. Since the approach of the historical avant-garde proved to be impotent in the face of world-shattering events, their route had to be abandoned, and their tools salvaged from ship wreck. By arguing "real future political intentions must be artistic" Beuys prematurely sought to reconcile art and life.
Joseph Beuys - 7000 Oaks
As the final blow to an undulating character assassination, Buchloh brings out the aspect of Beuys that is more 'I do not want to carry art into politics, but make politics into art' explicit in terms of "crypto-fascist Futurism" by quoting this statement: "I would say that the concept of politics must be eliminated as quickly as possible and must be replaced by the capability of form of human art. I do not want to carry art into politics, but make politics into art."
"If it is true that theories are only the images of the phenomena of the exterior world in the human consciousness," Rosa Luxemburg's 1918 book, Reform or Revolution begins, "it must be added…that theories are sometimes inverted images." In wanting to eliminate the concept of politics, and instead replace by a totalized concept of art, Beuys, in practice, is doing quite the opposite: making art obsolete and reaffirming the desire for an all-encompassing politic. Buchloh's fears are revealed when he concludes with a Walter Benjamin quote, "…Mankind has reached such a degree of self-alienation that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is the situation of politics which fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism responds by politicizing art."
Approaching the end of "Twilight of the Idol" this way, Buchloh suggests a double-sided and historically bound problem for Beuys. Buchloh approaches both the intentions and implications of Beuys work in a broader aesthetic and political narrative; his critique lies in Beuys's politics and his aesthetic choices. Not only does Buchloh suggest that there are fascistic, or rather authoritarian, tendencies in Beuys himself–since he seems to imply Beuys was proposing a re-emergence of totalitarian form of politics–but also, how the failure of communism in the pre-WWII period to fight fascism was transferred into art–as socially-engaged-art's failure to divert fascism. The crucial response of political failure was instead to politicize art even further.
Two decades later, in "Reconsidering Joseph Beuys: Once Again," Buchloh takes a second stab at a critique of Beuys. This time he takes into account the changing models of interpretation in both the broader history of post-war European culture and the discourse surrounding the production of avant-garde art. For Bucloh, Beuys uniquely embodies the profound instability of the production of the meaning of culture after the Holocaust and at the same time "the problem of how the artist, as subject, can be repositioned in the role of the artist and in relation to society at large."
If Beuys is to be interpreted as the first if not only artist addressing the conditions of cultural production after the Holocaust he must also be subjected to a comparative approach with those artists that also inherited the legacies of the Weimar Avant-Garde. Buchloh wonders to what degree was it crucial for Beuys to deny and disavow post-expressionist avant-garde in Germany, namely the German Dadaists Kurt Schwitters and Hannah Hoch on the one hand, and on the other, how was Beuys struggling with the "ghost of Jackson Pollock" and the pervasiveness of American Abstract Expressionism in Europe that purported to lay the foundation for formalist thinking. The question with Beuys then is whether he is motivated by a reaction against early 20th century avant-garde (pre-war) or early American formalist tendencies? Or more succinctly, how can Beuys be reacting against both legacies?
Beuys must react against Abstract Expressionism because their historical foundations were in the pre-war modernist avant-garde he so vehemently rejects. Abstract Expressionism and the painters of High Modernism were not claiming a complete break with pre-war practices, quite the opposite, going at pains to explain their continuation of a tradition. But Buchloh's reconsideration of Beuys is also motivated by an interest in addressing "the insuperable question of understanding why modernism failed." A problem he acknowledges was raised first by Hannah Arendt, Theodor Adorno and later by social art historians, "who reflect upon, if not develop, evidence of the interrelated interaction of ideology, social formations, and artistic practices." The rejection of the historical avant-garde, and of Abstract Expressionism is bound up with the question of Modernism's failure. The severing with past art practices seen with Bourriaud's posy of artists, and with Beuys, is an attempt to detach the present from a failed project. This historical severing echoes a common response of working class workers in factories or the service industry. When approached about starting a union as a solution to the problems they face daily, the response often is: Didn't we try that in Russia already? This quick dismissal often lacks a working through the failures of the past, and thus completely rejecting any achievements made.
Beuys cannot escape past and present history, nor the significant art that has accompanied it. Relational art cannot escape this reality either; that would mean detaching themselves from the history of humanity. Beuys is not only symptomatically motivated by the failures of political practices (to stop the Holocaust), but that this historical repression is already playing out the farther we move from the moment of acute crisis of historical possibilities. The further we move from the trauma of their failures, the more difficult it will become to comprehend what was at stake. Beuys is an acute symptom expressing the problematic relationship of art and life, whereas relational art is an obtuse one; it rejects grasping what they share with Beuys, a rejection of previous art, of a notion historical continuity in Modernity, and modernism's theoretical propositions.

David Zwirner to Hold First Dan Flavin Exhibition: Series and Progressions

David Zwirner
will present "Dan Flavin: Series and Progressions", the first exhibition of the artists work at the gallery since having announced its representation of the Estate of Dan Flavin.
From 1963, when he conceived the diagonal of May 25, 1963 (to Constantin Brancusi), a single gold, fluorescent lamp that hangs on a diagonal on the walla work which marks the artists first use of fluorescent light alone, until his death in 1996, Flavin produced a singularly consistent and prodigious body of work that utilized commercially-available fluorescent lamps to create installations of light and color.
Curated by Tiffany Bell, this exhibition will examine Flavins use of progressions and serial structures, ideas that were central to the artists practice throughout his career. Flavin has been credited with being one of the first artists to make use of a basically progressional procedure,1 and the systematic arrangement of color and light fixtures was an aspect of his work that not only led to it being characterized as Minimal art but which moreover influenced Conceptual artistic practices.
On view will be "the nominal three (to William of Ockham)", 1963 an installation that was of seminal importance to the artists body of work, in that it was the first work by Flavin to explore a systematic procedure. Here, Flavin has extended the primary unit of fluorescent light into a serial, additive system that consists of six fluorescent lamps (in three vertical sets, grouped as one, two, and three lamps). As Michael Govan explains, the nominal three is at the crux of Flavins emerging practice. The vertically-oriented single fixture in white, known as one [according to a drawing by the artist], must have been considered a reduction to the simplest of formulations. Yet Flavins final resolution involved three sets of lights, a series rather than a consolidated whole, which realized the possibilities implicit in the first diagonalthat it could be extended endlessly . the nominal three was not a fixed composition, but rather a conceptwhose premise had enormous implications for a form of art that could be drawn out from an idea. The work is dedicated to the Medieval English theologian and philosopher known for expounding the methodological principle (Ockhams Razor) of forming a hypothesis based on the most concise means possible.
Flavin would continue to explore themes of seriality in a number of key works, including his barriers, which literally extend the notion of potentially endless repeatability into the exhibition space. The exhibition will include untitled (to Helga and Carlo, with respect and affection), 1974, a work configured in a modular sequence of square units that dramatically bathes the surrounding space in blue light. Here, the artist has constructed a fence-like structure of fluorescent lamps that cuts across the length of a room and disrupts the surrounding architecture. Part of a series of four related barriers (created in blue, pink, yellow, and green), this work has not been exhibited since it was first on view in 1975 in a solo presentation of Flavins work at the Kunsthalle Basel (fünf Installationen in fluoreszierendem Licht von Dan Flavin); the dedication is to Carlo Huber, who was the director of the Kunsthalle Basel, and his wife Helga.
Filling one of the galleries at David Zwirner (the 519 West 19th Street space) will be a large-scale work that Flavin originally created for his first solo museum exhibition. In 1967, the artist devised an arithmetically expanding system of 8-foot lamps that were placed vertically along the available gallery walls of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Titled alternating pink and gold, the installation was comprised of alternating units of pink and gold fluorescent light, installed at progressively larger intervals from one another, beginning at the center of each wall: two lamps (one pink, one yellow) were placed at the mid-point of each wall; then single lamps of alternating colors were placed on both sides of the pair, spaced at intervals of 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet, etc. as many times as space allowed. The recreation at David Zwirner presents one of the earliest examples of installation art: encompassing all available walls of the gallery, alternating pink and gold produces an immersive, site-situational environment of light and color.3
Also on view will be the nine works from 1968 that belong to a series titled two primary series and one secondary. Comprised of three sets of three works (one set in red and yellow fluorescent light; the second in red and blue; and the third in red and green), each set is composed of a cumulative system of vertical lamps. While they each stand alone as individual works, these constructions demonstrate Flavins interest in serial and permutational configurations. This series was first shown in its entirety at Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich in 1968, and a complete group of all nine works is in the collection of the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main.
Flavin employed systematic compositions throughout his career, and the exhibition will include a group of late works from 1990 that project a sequential color arrangement into space: untitled (for John Heartfield) 3a-d forms a series of four individual works. While each of these works are arranged in the same construction of vertical and perpendicular lamps, they are distinctly organized in terms of a progression defined by the artists employment of color.
On the occasion of the exhibition, the gallery will publish an extensive monograph devoted to the artists work in collaboration with Steidl, Göttingen. The publication will contain rare archival documentation and new scholarship on the artist by contributors that include Tiffany Bell and will be available in spring 2010.
Dan Flavins (1933-1996) first solo exhibitions were held at the Judson Gallery in 1961 and the Green Gallery in 1964, both in New York. His first European exhibition was in 1966 at Galerie Rudolf Zwirner in Cologne, Germany; and in 1969, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, organized his first major museum retrospective. His work was included in a number of key early exhibitions of Minimal art in the 1960s, among them "Black, White, and Gray" (Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut, 1964); "Primary Structures" (The Jewish Museum, New York, 1966); and "Minimal Art" (Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, 1968). Flavins work would continue to be presented internationally over the course of the pursuant decades, at such venues as the Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri (1973); Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Museum Boymans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (both 1975); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1986); and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (1992), among others.
A major museum retrospective devoted to Flavins work was recently organized, in cooperation with the Estate of Dan Flavin, by the Dia Art Foundation in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., where it was first on view in 2004. The exhibition traveled from 2005 to 2007 to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Hayward Gallery, London; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris; Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles. This first comprehensive, posthumous retrospective of the artist's work was the culmination of a research effort that included the publication of the catalogue raisonné of Flavin's work authored by Tiffany Bell.
Flavins work is included in major museum collections, and was most recently on view at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts in St. Louis, Missouri, in the 2008 solo exhibition, "Dan Flavin: Constructed Light".
A major permanent installation of the artists work can be found in Marfa, Texas. This large-scale work in colored fluorescent light is installed in six buildings at the Chinati Foundation. Initiated in the early 1980s, the final plans were not completed until 1996, and the work was inaugurated in October 2000. Another long-term installation can be seen in Bridgehampton, New York, where in 1983 Flavin began renovating a former firehouse and church to permanently house several of his works and to serve as an exhibition space and printmaking facility for local artists. The building was named the Dan Flavin Art Institute, and is maintained by the Dia Art Foundation.

System Overview
New General Manager Jerry DiPoto made a huge splash shortly after taking over the Angels. Something that should come as no surprise after his tenure as interim GM of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010 in which he made a pair of trades that were then seen as highly risky but have yielded very promising early returns.
Ironically, the deal that sent Dan Haren from Arizona to the Angels in exchange for prospects LHP Tyler Skaggs, LHP Patrick Corbin and RHP Rafael Rodriguez (with big leaguer Joe Saunders) put a significant dent in the depth of the Angels farm system.
DiPoto's other trade in Arizona looks like a coup, having sent Edwin Jackson to the White Sox in exchange for Dan Hudson and LHP prospect David Holmberg. The deal not only provided a significant upgrade to the big league rotation and netted a quality pitching prospect, but also alleviated Arizona of Jackson's $10 Milliion contract.
In spite of his success in the short stint as the interim-GM the Diamondbacks would go on to hire long time Padres GM Kevin Towers to take over the position on a full time basis. DiPoto stayed on as VP of Player Personnel and had a major role in the Dbacks direction in 2011, including their aggressive 2011 draft.
Heading into 2011 the Angels were chasing the 2010 American League Champion Texas Rangers, and then GM Tony Reagins made an offseason trade to attempt to add an impact bat to the lineup while clearing up the logjam behind the plate. Reagins sent C/DH Mike Napoli (along with OF Juan Rivera) to Toronto for OF Vernon Wells, including his remaining four years and $84 Million contract. Toronto would quickly flip Napoli to the division rival Rangers, who would go on to have a monster season, clubbing 30 Home Runs in 432 plate appearances with a 1.046 OPS (second best in MLB).
Meanwhile the Angels trio of Jeff Mathis, Bobby Wilson and rookie Hank Conger combined to post a line of .189/.241/.332 with 37 Runs, 10 Home Runs and 49 RBI.
While that disparity didn't shift the balance of power in the west in favor of the defending champs, it certainly cemented it. It also likely led to the Reagins' removal at the end of the season, creating the opening for DiPoto to step in and lead the new Angels regime.
Immediately after taking over the Angels, DiPoto took steps to resolve the catching situation. His first move was to trade RHP Tyler Chatwood to Colorado for power hitting C Chris Iannetta, before sending Mathis to Toronto a few days later to make room (receiving LHP Brad Mills in that deal).
With one significant offensive upgrade taken care of DiPoto and company took to the free agent market. While the newly minted Miami Marlins made the biggest splash of early part of the offseason, the Angels trumped their efforts when they announced the signings of former Rangers ace CJ Wilson and future hall of famer Albert Pujols (as well as reliever LaTroy Hawkins) on December 8.
In the span of 24 hours the Angels had announced the commitment of $334.5 Million to three players over a combined 16 years. As a point of reference, current owner Arte Moreno purchased the Angels from Disney in 2003 for $183.5 Million. It was a stunning development for a team that saw its 2011 payroll balloon to a club record $141.75 Million, and aside from Fernando Rodney's $5.5 Million contract, had no significant contracts coming off of the books.
A few days later the source of capital to make those heavy investments became clear when the team announced a 20 year, $3 Billion agreement to the broadcast rights with Time Warner Cable. The deal trumped the 20 year, $1.6 Billion deal their division rival Rangers reached with Fox prior to the 2011 season.
In an era of ubiquitous media coverage from 24 hour sports news networks and websites such as MLBTradeRumors.com, it has become exceedingly rare for a team to land either the top free agent position player or pitcher on the market, let alone both, with such stealth and efficiency.
With the combination of a large market revenue stream, an owner committed to winning, a savvy GM, the best player of the current generation (Pujols) and a solid farm system that boasts arguably the best prospect in all of baseball (Mike Trout) the future appears to be very bright in Anaheim.
Perhaps the most telling sign about the current state of the Angels franchise is that one of their biggest question marks going forward is their first world problem of how and when they can get Mike Trout into the starting lineup every day.
2011 Draft
Under previous Scouting Director Eddie Bane the Angels were notorious for their preference for high upside high school draft picks, best epitomized by their back to back first round selections in 2009 when they grabbed Randall Grichuk and Mike Trout 24th and 25th. Grichuk has struggled with injuries while Trout hit his first big league Home Run as a 19 year old last season.
In Bane's final draft with the Angels in 2010 they took a high school player with eight of their first nine selections. By contrast, new Scouting Director Ric Wilson and his staff didn't select a high school player until the 12th round.
The Angels signed all of two high school products in 2011: 3B Joseph Krehbiel (12th round) and 1B Jackson Whitley (13th round). In short: most of the players the Angels drafted in 2011 are older than the players they drafted in 2009.
There was a point where they selected four straight high school players and five out of six in rounds 12-17, though two of them (C Wayne Taylor, OF Dominic Jose) were considered extremely difficult to sign as they both had commitments to Stanford, which they both chose to honor. Another tough sign high school player the Angels took a shot on was Pennsylvania OF Mike Papi (30th round) who is now at the University of Virginia.
In total the Angels signed 39 players for a total of $3,318,100 on signing bonuses in 2011, fourth lowest in baseball. While the strategy of selecting more polished players was a drastic departure from recent history, their spending habits were not. In fact, it was right in line, as in the past five drafts combined the Angels spent the fourth lowest amount of money on signing bonuses.
Whether or not the 2011 draft was an indication of things to come in the future is difficult to determine. Their top overall pick of Utah C/1B CJ Cron at 17th overall was in line with his pre-draft projection. The yield of boom or bust drafts in past years had left a small group of impact prospects in the system and little depth. The 2011 college strategy may have been as much of an effort to address that weakness as an indication of future direction.
After Cron, the Angels' next pick was Florida LHP Nick Maronde (third round), who has reached 97 mph as a reliever and has an above average changeup and solid slider. He was a setupman in college, but the Angels hope that he can make the transition to a starting role.
Juco RHP Mike Clevenger (fourth round) out of Seminole State joins Maronde at the beginning of a group of strong armed throwers, who the Angels player development staff will be charged with molding into pitchers. USC flamethrower Austin Wood (sixth round) is yet another prime example, and they certainly aren't the only two big bodied raw power arms the Angels took a chance on.
Among the promising early returns 1B Frazier Hall (16th round) stands out for his impressive showing in his pro debut, hitting .355/.391/.575 with 9 Home Runs in 62 Games at Rookie Level Orem. Though first base is a crowded position in the Angels system, Hall has experience behind the plate in college, where he got in some work in Fall Instructs along with time in the outfield.
Late round C/1B Jett Bandy (31st round) out of Arizona also had a strong debut, posting a .308/.392/.492 line in 50 games, mostly in the Arizona League, though he did get an at bat in AAA Salt Lake. Bandy's draft stock plummeted after a disappointing junior campaign at Arizona, but has the tools to become a late round steal.
Without a second round pick due to signing of Type B Free Agent Scott Downs, or any compensation picks, and the lack of any major over slot bonuses gave the Angels a draft crop with a very specific goal: quality out of quantity. They took power arms and power bats from the college ranks, paid them reasonable signing bonuses and turned it over to their Player Development deparment. CJ Cron looks like the only likely impact player from the crop, though it should produce several solid players in the years to come.
Top 10 Prospects
1. OF Mike Trout - Baseball-reference player profile
The minor league exploits of Mike Trout are well documented to this point, the 25th overall pick of the 2009 draft already has 5 big league Home Runs to his credit and has nearly every team that passed on him in the draft due to his large but retrospectively justifiable signing bonus demands, kicking themselves.
Trout has the potential for four true plus-plus tools. His present speed is elite, grading out as a legitimate 80 on the 20-80 scale. While he may slow down to a 70-75 runner over the next few years, he should always have plenty of range to play centerfield (whether or not he gets the opportunity to do so). His contact hitting ability is excellent, as his hand-eye coordiniation is exceptional. The development Trout showed throughout his brief pro career to this point is astounding, and when you consider his intense work ethic and strong makeup, should come as no surprise. His power has shown perhaps the biggest rate of development, after hitting just 10 Home Runs in his breakout full season debut in 2010, he hammered 16 between AA Arkansas and the Major Leagues last year. Trout has developed the ability to work the count, with a willingness to take a walk if necessary, something he will likely do a lot of during his prime years.
The Angels' most valuable asset may cost Manager Mike Scoscia a lot of sleep this season, as he will be hard pressed to find a way to get Trout into the Major League lineup in 2012. Veteran Bobby Abreu is in the final year of his contract, and will generally occupy the DH duties, leaving the Angels with an outfield of Torii Hunter, Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells. Abreu and Mark Trumbo are slated to share DH duties (unless Trumbo can handle 3B). Also, Bourjos' plus plus speed and range in center make Trout somewhat redundant, incredibly making it possible that the rare talent will spend some more time riding busses around the minors.
2. SS Jean Segura – Baseball-reference player profile
Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2007 as a 17 year old, Segura hit the ground running in his full season debut in 2010 in Low-A Cedar Rapids. His follow up in the hitter friendly California League was cut short by hamstring issues, though he did show promise after moving from second to shortstop in his 52 game 2011 season.
Generously listed at 5-foot-11, Segura has a small strike zone, which he commands well. Combined with his compact swing and excellent hand acceleration allow him to make good contact with just about anything in the zone. Segura also shows surprising power, though his approach is geared toward driving the ball into the gaps. Segura's defensive tools are equally as impressive, as he combines good range and lateral agility with an above average arm. However, he can be frustrating at times as well, as he has shown the ability to range far to either side, set his feet, and then mishandle a ball that he is position to field cleanly. He is also an above average runner with good instincts on the bases who can thrive on a team with an aggressive baserunning philosophy, not unlike the one managed by Mike Scoscia in Anaheim.
Though he didn't get a lot of time in at Inland Empire in 2011, Segura is likely to climb to AA Arkansas in 2012. With Erick Aybar set to hit the free agent market after the season, Segura will be auditioning for the 2013 starting shortstop job, though he will have a lot of things to prove in order to earn it.
3. RHP Garrett Richards – Baseball-reference player profile
Richards was the third player the Angels selected in the 2009 draft, and two years later became the second player from that draft haul to reach the Major Leagues as a 23 year old. His success in the minors has been impressive to this point thanks to his overpowering stuff.
Armed with an arsenal that is highlighted by a mid 90s fastball with good sink, Richards backs his heater up with a pair of potential plus pitches. His mid 80s slider features big depth and sharp break with very hard spin, though he has yet to learn to harness it and struggles to locate it. He throws his changeup with similar velocity to his slider and it shows very good fade action, darting down and away from left handed hitters. Command is his biggest challenge going forward, he has the raw stuff to succeed in the big leagues already, but won't do so consistently until he can consistently work ahead with his fastball and locate his secondary pitches.
Richards will head to Tempe this spring to compete for the fifth spot in a formidable rotation that boasts Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, CJ Wilson and Ervin Santana.
4. 1B CJ Cron – Baseball-reference player profile
Cron is a product of a certified baseball family. His father Chris Sr spent over a decade playing professional baseball, spending parts of two seasons in the big leagues and is currently the Manager of the Erie SeaWolves (Tigers AA affiliate). His younger brother Kevin was a third round selection in 2011 after breaking his own single season Home Run record in high school. CJ was the 17th overall pick out of Utah, where he hit an eye popping .434/.517/.803 as a junior.
Cron gritted his way through his pro debut, playing with a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder before ending his season with a knee injury. While being limited to DH duties, Cron absolutely punished Pioneer League pitching, blasting 13 Home Runs in 34 games (.629 slugging percentage). Cron's massive build and plus bat speed allow him to hit the ball with serious authority, giving him plus power. His size also limits his defensive options, while he was a catcher at Utah, Cron will be a first baseman as a pro. First base in Anaheim is blocked for the next decade by Albert Pujols so Cron will either have to hit enough for DH duties (assuming Mark Trumbo doesn't lock up that spot as well) or be traded to another organization in order to get his opportunity in the big leagues. If the Angels don't have room for Cron he should make a valuable trade chip.
After a strong showing in the Pioneer League, Cron may be ready to jump to High-A Inland Empire to open 2012 and has a chance to move very quickly.
5. 3B Kaleb Cowart – Baseball-reference player profile
Cowart was a legitimate two-way prospect coming out of Cook County High School (GA), having touched 95 mph with his fastball. While many believed he could be a first round pick as either a pitcher or infielder, some thought he had more upside on the mound. However, Cowart strongly preferred to play every day, allowing the Angels to pick him with the 18th overall pick.
A switch hitter with plus power potential from both sides of the plate, Cowart can get overaggressive at times, not only with the bat but in every facet of his game. He is a physical specimen at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds with a lean strong build and he plays the game with good energy, though he tries to do too much at times. As he matures and refines his game he is likely to become an exceptional defender at third base and a hitter capable of posting high averages and good power totals. His arm is his best tool, having thrown 100 mph from the outfield during the 2009 Bo Jackson 5-Tool Challenge in Jupiter, FL. Should the need arise he would be well equipped for a move to right field, though he has more value at third.
Cowart is ready to make his much anticipated full season debut in 2012 at Low-A Cedar Rapids. It'll be a difficult assignment but if he can begin to realize his exceptional raw potential he could have a breakout year. If he doesn't fulfill his potential as a switch hitting third baseman with plus power, Cowart could make a return to the mound where he also has a lot of upside.
6. RHP Johnny Hellweg – Baseball-reference player profile
After turning down the Marlins as a 48th round selection out of high school in 2007, Hellweg went to Florida State College in Jacksonville. He made tremendous strides there as he began to fill out his lanky 6-foot-9 frame and has become an excellent selection in the 16th round by the Angels in 2009.
Hellweg uses a smooth low effort delivery and long loose arm action to generate mid 90s velocity with good downhill plane. His two plane slider features very good depth and when he is able to locate, it can be a legitimate swing and miss offering. His changeup has made strides as a starter down the stretch, and its development will be important moving forward. Not only did he post excellent strikeout numbers as a starter, Hellweg also kept the ball on the ground very well, not allowing a single Home Run during his 14 starts (5:1 GO/AO ratio).
After a very strong finish at High-A in 2011, Hellweg will head to AA in 2012 to prove that his success in the starting rotation was not a fluke. If he continues to make strides he may not be far away from a trip to Anaheim.
7. 2B Taylor Lindsey – Baseball-reference player profile
A compensation first round pick in 2010 (38th overall) out of Desert Mountain High School (AZ), Lindsey had a huge debut in 2011, hitting .362/.394/.593 en route to garnering Pioneer League MVP honors.
Lindsey generates good bat speed from a smooth, low effort swing from the left side. His strong compact frame gives him a small strike zone, though he hasn't shown much of an affinity for the base on balls to this point. Though, as a .362 hitter at Orem he didn't have much need as he was able to square up balls with authority routinely. He has surprising power in spite of his compact swing, giving him some offensive upside, especially for a middle infielder. Lindsey has solid defensive tools at second, so long as he is able to maintain his present level of athleticism he will be able to stay there where his bat will be an asset.
A full season debut in the Midwest League will be a lot more telling about Lindsey's true offensive potential, he'll head to Cedar Rapids in 2012 looking to prove that he belongs amongst the organization's top prospects.
8. LHP Nick Maronde – Baseball-reference player profile
The Angels second pick of the 2011 draft (third round) had a stellar debut in Orem after returning to a starting role. Maronde lost his rotation spot at Florida but as a pro he thrived in that role, going 5-0 with a 2.14 ERA and 50 strikeouts to just 15 walks over 46 innings in the Rookie-level Pioneer League.
At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds Maronde has some room to fill in his frame. He worked comfortably in the low 90s, topping out at 95 showing plus command of his fastball. He works quickly and pitches aggressively with a power arsenal. The sinker-slider combo played very well in Rookie ball, though he'll need to improve his changeup to continue having success as a starter in the long term. His changeup shows good potential as well, though having used it very little in college it currently lags behind at this stage of development.
Maronde will move to A-ball for his full season debut in 2012, with Low-A Cedar Rapids as a likely opening day destination and will likely advance quickly if he continues to be stingy with free passes while piling up strikeouts.
9. RHP Daniel Tillman – Baseball-reference player profile
After being drafted in the second round in 2010 out of Florida Southern Tillman has hit the ground running , going a combined 6-3 with a 2.30 ERA with 78 strikeoutsin 66 innings between Low-A Cedar Rapids and High-A Inland Empire in 2011. Tillman was a closer in college, and aside from a five game stint as a starter in Low-A last year that appears to be the role where the Angels believe his future lies.
Tillman has a thick compact frame with good strength that allows him to generate low-mid 90s velocity with a simple delivery that utilizes his strong lower half well. He works with a good sinker-slider combination that allowed him to generate strong groundball and strikeout ratios in 2011. His short stride and quick delivery allow him to get a good downhill plane to his pitches despite his average height, but it also causes his arm to be late at times and leads to some wildness. Tillman has enough athleticism to improve his ability to repeat his delivery and cut down on his walk rate in the future, it is likely a matter of getting more repetitions in game action.
His progress to this point has been rapid and there is no reason to believe that won't continue to be the case, Tillman could move quickly. He should reach AA at some point in 2012, if not open there.
10. RHP Ariel Pena – Baseball-reference player profile
Pena has taken the long route to the Angels 40 man roster but was added during the offseason as a 23 year old in spite of having pitched just one game above A ball. Pena's performance has yet to match his potential, though his strong showing in his second stop in the hitter friendly California League was a very encouraging step forward.
The 6-foot-3 flamethrower has a power arsenal that he showed strides towards learning to harness in 2011. His high effort delivery and lack of polish on his third pitch (fringy-average changeup) suggest his long term future is in the bullpen. Pena's high strikeout and groundball rates in 2011 were positive signs, and while he still struggled with walks, his 4.8 per nine innings was an improvement. His jerky delivery and high octane arsenal seem to be tailor made for a high leverage relief role, though if he can harness his stuff and pitch effectively for six plus innings at a time then Pena has some upside. His low-mid 90s fastball combined with a power slider give him a similar profile to teammate Fabio Martinez-Mesa (who just misses the top 10 after being sidelined with a shoulder injury in 2011), and though the Angels hope to develop one or both as a starter, they appear to be future late innings relievers.
Pena will likely head to AA for the first time in 2012 to work on his command and changeup. If he moves to the bullpen he could move quickly.

Broad General Inclusive Fitness
The concept of CrossFit is easy to grasp. It is a broad, general and inclusive fitness.
CrossFit is designed to develop the body in different domains to achieve optimal overall performance. This is achieved by creating a balance of mind and body using various forms of functional work.
In building a routine around functional movements, you create a balance in all ten of these very important capacities:
For example, let's take two types of athletes: a competition Power lifter and Runner. The Power Lifter may be able to squat 500lbs and run a 8:30 mile. The Runner's squat is 195lbs, but runs a 4:50 mile. While both exceed in their own domains, they are lacking in other areas.
It makes more sense regarding a human's functionality where a combination of the two types is ideal. This third type, squatting 350lbs and running a 6:00 mile, would be a much more efficient machine... This is what CrossFit ultimately helps you achieve.
