NEW DELHI: Hundreds of thousands of investors will now get lower returns on small savings schemes like Public Provident Fund (PPF) and National Savings Certificates, with the government pruning the interest rate by 0.1 percent.
The interest rate on PPF has now been cut to 8.7 per cent from 8.8 percent with effect from 1 April, 2013, while the rate on five-year NSC has been cut to 8.5 percent from 8.6 percent, and that on 10-year NSC to 8.8 percent from 8.9 percent.

In the run up to Captain America: Civil War, there was a lot of debate over whether we'd actually see Spider-Man in the movie. The internet was rife with rumors about a reported deal going down between Sony and Disney, as they negotiated the future of this particular comic book property. Now we know that this was indeed the case, and when it was revealed that Spider-Man would appear in Civil War, many fans wondered if he was shoved in at the last minute.
Actually, the opposite was true.
As it turns out, the Civil War creative team — screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely along with directors the Russo brothers — had always planned to involve Spidey in the action. And in fact, the original draft of the script gave Spider-Man a much bigger role in the story, more in keeping with the comic book arc. Unfortunately, this version of the movie would never come to pass — but oddly enough, that might have been the best thing for the film, and the future of the MCU.
Delays In Negotiations
This revelation went largely unnoticed a few months ago, as Markus and McFeely told Creative Screenwriter Magazine of their original plans for the film.
"We had [Spider-Man] in, and sometimes a month or two later Kevin would come back and say, 'No, negotiations are not going quite as well. Don't plan on him!' [Laughs] I don't know the exact date when corporate signed contracts with Sony, but it eventually led to some hard and fast choices later on."
The writers explained that Spidey's role was intended to build up to the "splash panel" sequence: The climactic airport battle between the two Avengers teams. In the comics, Spider-Man is torn between two sides, and eventually switches loyalties part way through. His journey is one of the main threads of the arc, as Peter Parker's struggle with the issues at hand become a metaphor for the entire conflict.
Originally, the film was going to adapt this part of the storyline, but as Markus and McFeely revealed, the deal with Sony just didn't go through in time. By the time Spidey was confirmed to appear in Captain America: Civil War, the movie was well into shooting, and the writers had already replaced Spidey's role with someone else.
"When things maybe looked like we weren't going to get Spider-Man, it was like, 'Let's put the costume on that guy!' And then he became so integral to the story as it evolved that once Spider-Man came back, we didn't take him out. So, it was a problem that created a really nice situation."
As the writers told Cinemablend, the Wakandan characters were originally intended to give the movie a bit of scope, but when they knew they wouldn't get Spidey in time, Black Panther's role became much more prominent. And honestly, that turned out perfectly for both Civil War and the entire MCU.
Black Panther's Role Was Fascinating
In a film filled with superhoroes and poignant emotional journeys, Black Panther still stood out as the breakout character.
This was due to many factors, but mostly it was because he offered an outsider perspective. We may not have known much about T'Challa, but his quiet dignity made him compelling. Once his father was killed — in one of Civil War's most heartwrenching scenes — we really sympathized with T'Challa. His personal stakes in the conflict were different from just political side taking or theoretical ethics debates. He wanted justice for his father's death, and although he blamed Bucky Barnes — who we all knew wasn't the culprit — it was still easy to understand T'Challa's actions.
T'Challa's journey from vengeance to acceptance became the metaphor for the conflict in a different way, striking an interesting parallel with Peter's role in the comics while telling a new story. His final decision to spare Zemo's life was very satisfying, and as T'Challa offered aid to Bucky we knew this new hero was truly worthy of a bright future in the MCU.
Of course, this all meant that Civil War was the perfect introduction for Black Panther, setting up his solo movie by taking us briefly to Wakanda in the end credits scene. Black Panther is one of Marvel's most iconic heroes, with a fascinating history, and Chadwick Boseman's performance in Civil War proved that this version of the character exceeded fans' wildest hopes.
While Spider-Man's original role in Captain America: Civil War could have been much bigger — and in keeping with the comic books — what we ended up with was a far more original and atypical story, not to mention a great introduction for Black Panther. Besides, Spidey's role in Civil War was awesome, offering much-needed comic relief, and getting us good and hyped for Spider-Man: Homecoming — in which we're sure to see Peter go through the emotional journey he missed out on in Civil War.
Are you disappointed about the changes to Spidey's original role in Civil War? Let us know in the comments!

Marietta is a great Consultant and a great person. I met Marietta a few years back at a job she was working at and we just hit it off and became good friends. Marietta is a genuine, caring person who LOVES what she does, sharing Rodan + FIelds. She is very knowledgeable and is a walking testimony of how those products have changed and even saved her life. I was having trouble with my skin being extremely red, non-vibrant and was starting to see sun damage. Marietta recommended for me to use a survey to see which system would work best for me. She helped me out in getting one of the systems and shared the opportunity to sell Rodan + Fields as well to help with my income. Marietta is very understanding and loyal and does anything she can to help someone else in the areas that they are concerned or unhappy with for their complexion and then goes even further with encouragement and putting that encouragement into a form of action to help the person succeed in other areas of their lives. I am very proud and honored to know such a great person, have someone who is a mentor and to see all the amazing things that have happened to her being with Rodan + Fields.See MoreRead Less

Anyone who is new to Assumption Grotto, or recalls when they first came, can relate to what I am saying here.
There is something about being new to Grotto and the "surprise factor". Each week, and each holiday would bring more surprises - just in the manner of how things are celebrated in contrast to the casual atmosphere typical in modern Catholicism.
I'm now seeing things for the second time, and I can say that nothing beats the climax of Holy Week at Assumption Grotto. With each day that went by from Holy Thursday to the Easter Vigil, the intensity grew. I never felt more exhausted trying to capture in photos all that I was experiencing and I had no idea what was going to happen next.
Holy Thursday is awesome, and well attended even though it is not an obligation to go to Mass. This day is special to all priests as it marks the Lord instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood. At Assumption Grotto, only the feet of males are washed, just as in the Lord's time. Last year, I made an error when transferring photos from my camera and lost the first half of the Mass when the foot-washing took place.
The solemn Good Friday service is something well worth commuting to Grotto for. I don't want to call it opera style, but it's nearly that as the entire passion is sung, and there is chanting, and polyphony. I can't count the times I got choked up because I have NEVER seen anything so beautiful, much less for Good Friday (see Good Friday 2006 photos here). Three hours never seemed so short as I stood nearly the entire time capturing photos from the balcony. I am going to attempt to capture video this year, but since I am an amateur, I'll have to leave the quality in the hands of the Blessed Mother, just as I did my liturgical photography when I first began taking photos on August 15, 2005.
The Easter Vigil caught me off guard too. I had been to them at other parishes over the years and particularly enjoyed watching catechumens being received into the Church. However, once again, Assumption Grotto outdid anything I had ever seen. It was pure majesty - something that took the casual God and man relationship into something in which God's greatness is magnified before us.
Easter Sunday features the Orchestral Mass at the 9:30am Latin Novus Ordo. Last year, the noon Mass featured the Assumption Schola. This is a group of men who periodically sing at Grotto. Fr. Perrone belongs to this schola and there are several photos of him, along with them in that previous link. I haven't confirmed they will be there this year, but if any are reading, I'd ask them to email me or place the info in the combox. I've lost the website they had so I need that again too.
Reverence should flow with awe for the majesty of God and the liturgies I experience at Assumption Grotto just lift my soul to the one who said, "I AM"
More photos of Easter Season 2005, and more, can be found in this post. I was new to blogging and had not come up with a system yet of collecting events as I have now, in my sidebar (See Photo Post Collections).

"A broken knee"
About: John Radcliffe Hospital John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford OX3 9DU
Posted via NHS Choices
I am writing this for my daughter. She arrived with a very split knee and twisted ankle on Saturdayu morning. Some person or other, faintly dressed her knee, clearly not properly. She was asked back on Sunday at 10.00 She arrived then and waited until 1700.00 to be seen. At which point the surgeon said , more or less, what had these really stupid people at A & E done? It was already infected, because they had not cleaned it out properly. He did his best, but too late. Two days later, back in the 'hospital', you have operated and kept her in, why?? Thank you for your response

text: okay, so I'm a new evo owner, had the phone for about 2 weeks. Love it, it's the best. Onto the problem. When I first got my phone I was sending and recieving pics no problem. A few days later I was not able to send a pic. I thought it might be too big, but knew that the evo should reduce the size and send it. After doing some reading online, I found many people suggested downloading handcent. I did this, but still can't send or receive mms. My phone is not rooted, don't know what that would do anyway. I know there are some hardcore evo users reading these threads and I see many people have had the same problem I have, but I have not found an answer to this yet. It's not a huge deal if I can't see the picture my buddy send me of his ass, but with this phone I should be able to see it if I want to. Any help is much appreciated.

Definition Of Federal Revenues Complicates Tax Cuts
February 2, 1998
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer has proposed limiting federal revenue to 19 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). With revenues currently at 19.9 percent, this would require a tax cut of more than $70 billion this year alone.
Archer's proposal is a good one, but will be difficult to implement. For one thing, it is not at all clear what federal revenues actually are.
- The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) says that in fiscal year 1997 the federal government collected $1,579 billion.
- But according to the Department of Commerce, the federal government collected $1,692 billion in fiscal year 1997, $113 billion more than OMB calculated (see figure).
The biggest differences have to do with the treatment of nontax government receipts:
- For instance, Commerce counts Medicare Part B premiums as revenues, while OMB treats them as "offsetting receipts" or negative spending.
- The impact on the deficit is the same, but Commerce shows the government with higher receipts while OMB shows it with lower spending.
- Another important difference is in their treatment of taxes the government pays to itself, such as the employer's share of Social Security taxes on federal employees, which OMB does not count at all, while Commerce does.
Of course, there is also a problem in calculating GDP. The data are frequently revised, sometimes significantly, which can either raise or lower receipts as a share of GDP even when they are known with accuracy. Thus the simple notion of limiting revenues as a share of GDP is not as simple as it sounds.

Fewer in U.S. Move as Economy Falters
Americans changed residences less often last year than at any time since the Census Bureau began keeping track in 1948, the latest sign of how the recession and falling house prices are keeping more people in place.
"We are normally thought of as a country on the move, but now all levels of migration have almost come to standstill," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "People are just staying put."
The national mover rate was 11.9% last year, meaning 11.9% of the people lived in a different dwelling than they did the year before. That was down from 13.2% in 2007. In total, about 35 million people moved last year, down from about 39 million in 2007.
With home values falling, many people have stayed in place, either because they can't sell their homes or aren't happy with prices offered.
The breadth of the recession has exacerbated the slowdown. Unemployment has risen in every state, and fewer jobs in almost every community mean fewer people are moving for work. Job losses have continued through this year, and many economists expect that the national unemployment rate, currently at 8.5%, to hit double digits by the end of the recession.
Mr. Frey said that further job losses made it likely that migration would further slow through 2009.
Generally, the majority of moves are within state, and renters are five times more likely to move than homeowners are.
Local moves have been slowing for some time, but fell sharply last year. The within-county migration rate was 7.8% last year, compared with 8.6% the previous two years. The state-to-state migration rate was 1.6% last year, compared with 1.7% a year earlier. Moves from abroad fell to 0.39% from 0.41% a year ago.
People in the South and West are most mobile. The migration rates there were roughly 13%. The migration rate in the Northeast was 8.2% last year. The largest year-over-year decline was in the Midwest, which has been hit harder economically than many other regions; the migration rate there fell to 11.1% from 13.2% in 2007.

Key points
- South-South cooperation is on the rise, especially in Latin America.
- So is 'triangular cooperation', which adds partners from the developed world.
- Many Latin American countries are being reclassified as 'middle income', which can make them less likely to receive official development assistance (ODA) from rich countries.
- The European Consensus on Development, the European Union's latest framework document for development policy, could open the door for a shift from 'aid' to 'cooperation'.
South-South development cooperation is increasing, especially in Latin America. The same goes for so-called 'triangular cooperation', which adds a developed world component to the equation.
The traditional donor-recipient relationship is also being transformed as many Latin American countries have been reclassified according to international norms as 'middle income' – a category that can mean they are less likely to receive ODA from rich countries.
Honduras, now a 'lower-middle income' country, remains acutely vulnerable to the effects of climate change and faces huge food security challenges. Reclassification extends beyond Latin America. Now the small African nation Cape Verde has become a 'middle income' country, a minister marked to one of the panellists: 'But nothing has changed!'
Then comes the European Consensus on Development, the European Union's latest framework document for development policy, which could open the door to a shift from 'aid' to 'cooperation' and perhaps create more space for triangular cooperation. The minimalist equation Development = ODA no longer adds up.
While the financial component could be diminished, European cooperation in Latin America is likely to continue in areas such as climate change, trade, security and technical assistance.
All Latin American nations both provide and receive international assistance. Most have specific agencies responsible for their ODA outlays and related cooperation, and all operate mostly within the region. Honduras is working with Ecuador in the coffee sector, for example.
Often this work is undertaken as part of triangular agreements that include EU member states, notably Spain and Portugal. Some Latin American countries, such as Brazil, have begun to provide assistance to countries in Africa.
Despite gains in per capita income, the battle against poverty is not over in Latin America. It has just become more complex. Nearly three-quarters of the world's poor are reported to live in middle-income countries. In addition, many members of the so-called new middle class remain vulnerable to falling back below the poverty line.
The institutions of many countries in the region, such as tax administrations, need to be strengthened. Corruption needs to be tackled, and education systems must be modernised to meet the needs of 21st century students, many of whom will become entrepreneurs instead of employees. Women need to be empowered, climate change must be addressed, and the list goes on.
In this context, some observers believe that per capita GDP should be abandoned as the main indicator of well-being and, by extension, qualification for international cooperation.
Even as they boost South-South relations, Latin Americans worry that the widespread reclassifications could exclude them from the broader development cooperation scene. Dialogue, partnerships and alliances should be used to reach the goal of cooperation rather than aid.

If you're a talented Latino or minority student, and NASA's space program has always fascinated you, there are ways to gain internships and scholarships at NASA and forge careers there. In fact, NASA is dedicated to attracting a wide range of talented minority candidates whose interests align with NASA's mission and goals.
One aspect of NASA's strategic plan is "to advance and attract a highly skilled, competent and diverse workforce," explains Sharon Wagner, the director of program planning and evaluation in NASA's Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity. She says that attracting a talented multicultural staff is "just plain good business practice." Moreover, she adds that social scientists have demonstrated that "diversity and inclusion increases innovation and creativity and results in better problem-solving and critical analysis."
Three divisions of NASA including its Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Office of Human Capital and Office of Education reach out to multi-cultural undergraduates. Some programs are tailored for minority students, but many appeal to a cross-section of students including minorities and women, Wagner suggests. "We make sure we go to a wide range of different venues including Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and go to professional associations like the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and Great Minds in STEM," she said.
For the most part, NASA is trying to recruit students who are interested in becoming "scientists and engineers," Wagner said. Specifically, aerospace, electrical, mechanical engineers are targets as are physicists, astronomers, space scientists, planetary scientists, geologists and astro-physicists.
But it's not just STEM majors that NASA pursues. For example, a whole range of disciplines including financial experts, budget specialists, accountants, project managers and contract managers are hired. Some are recruited right out of college, some in mid-career and some in later stages of their careers.
Wagner said the ideal candidate "must be enthusiastic about NASA's special missions and be consistent with our core values of teamwork." NASA emphasizes collaboration, so candidates who enjoy and thrive on working on teams fit in best at NASA. "We want candidates to have the right stuff. It might seem impossible but we can do it," she said. Having a positive, can-do outlook works best in NASA's culture.
But NASA's culture is inclusive, and Wagner said that liberal arts majors also fit into roles in HR and public affairs. "Any kind of liberal arts can be useful. It teaches critical thinking and how to write," she said.
Being bilingual can also play a role since NASA collaborates with many international partners. Speaking Russian or Spanish plays a role as does having international experience.
Having been a flight controller, an engineer and now manager of NASA's Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP), Joeletta Patrick said that minority students needs to see examples of people like her (she's African American) who have succeeded at NASA. "We show students that we look like them, and we come from the same backgrounds, and this is not an unattainable goal," she, a native of Greensboro, N.C., said.
The other technique that works to ignite the interest of minority students is "hands on experience. Getting them involved in various scenarios where they can put their hands on a circuit, and a light comes on," Patrick noted.
One other key in reaching minority students is providing mentors. The NASA Speakers Bureau, which presents workshops to students in elementary school, middle and high schools, enables students to ask questions and converse with NASA personnel. Patrick remembers one student asking her what exactly was the NASA budget this year, demonstrating his curiosity.
One program that Patrick recommends that minority students investigate is the One Stop Shopping Initiative (www.intern.nasa.gov). Students can log on, enroll, upload their resume and apply for 15 different opportunities across the 10 NASA centers. "It's like sending 15 applications for 15 chances of trying to get an internship at NASA," Patrick said. About 80 percent of these internships are "mission-driven" and entail STEM majors, Patrick said.
The more students feel self-confidence and can demonstrate self-efficacy and know what they're doing, the better they will be able to compete for NASA's internships and ultimately jobs. Students that thrive at NASA exhibit problem-solving skills, are flexible, adjust to demands, are articulate and are good writers, Patrick observed.
Minority students can also compete for about 30 scholarships annually, noted Carolyn Knowles from the Office of Education. To earn one, students must meet the following criteria: 1) be U.S. citizens, 2) have a high school GPA of 3.5 plus advanced placement courses with fewer than two years remaining in high school.
Besides the One Stop Shopping Initiative, the NASA Pathways program provides an internship program that enables NASA to attract many minority and women students even though it is open to all students and not targeted toward Latinos or African Americans. It's aimed at undergraduates who spend a semester at one of NASA's offices in an internship and are paid a stipend and may receive credit depending on each university's policy, Wagner noted. Pathway interns are considered NASA employees, and if they're hired after graduation, time spent at Pathways counts as part of service.
To be eligible, students must be at least 16 years of age, pursue an undergraduate, graduate or doctorate in a major field of study related to the job they're applying for, have one year left of school, maintain at least a 2.9 GPA and be able to complete 640 hours of work in one semester. Besides STEM majors, students interested in human resources, procurement, finances and public affairs can apply. Quite a few of NASA's Pathway students are hired full-time at NASA, Wagner said.
Students can attend college or live anywhere but being in proximity to one of NASA's centers helps. Major NASA centers include Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas; Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Some employee groups help interns locate housing, but arranging lodging isn't part of the program, Wagner added.
Besides Pathway, NASA offers a summer internship program. All students spend 10 to 12 weeks at a NASA center, but unlike with Pathways, they are not considered NASA employees. Nonetheless, Wagner said these summer internships offer "invaluable experience, can be added to one's resume" and can help in building a resume to apply for Pathway internships.
The major criterion for securing an internship is making sure the students' "interests align with the mission that NASA is working on," Wagner observed.
During the internship, students are assigned a mentor, and interns assist with whatever project the mentor is concentrating on at the time. They could be doing research on quantum physics or researching materials needed in a harsh environment like working on Mars, Wagner pointed out.
NASA's interns can reap a myriad of benefits from the experience whether they end up working full-time at NASA or not. Some interns are recruited by NASA's partners that might include Boeing or Lockheed. "At many of our work sites, it's hard to tell whether someone is a NASA employee or a Boeing or Lockheed employee" because they work so closely together, Wagner cited.
Recruiting a diverse staff is critical at NASA. Since NASA represents the entire American populace, it is critical that it "reflects and represents all Americans," Wagner noted.

Gieshoff, J., Pfeifer, M., Schäfer-Sindlinger, A., Spurk, P. et al., "Advanced Urea SCR Catalysts for Automotive Applications," SAE Technical Paper 2001-01-0514, 2001, https://doi.org/10.4271/2001-01-0514.
The LEV II and EURO V legislation in 2007/2008 require a high conversion level for nitrogen oxides to meet the emission levels for diesel SUVs and trucks. Therefore, U.S. and European truck manufacturers are considering the introduction of urea SCR systems no later than model year 2005. The current SCR catalysts are based mainly on systems derived from stationary power plant applications. Therefore, improved washcoat based monolith catalysts were developed using standard types of formulations. These catalysts achieved high conversion levels similar to extruded systems in passenger car and truck test cycles. However, to meet further tightening of standards, a new class of catalysts was developed. These advanced type of catalytic coatings proved to be equivalent or even better than standard washcoat formulations. Results will be shown from ESC, MVEG and US-FTP 75 tests to illustrate the progress in catalyst design for urea SCR. The new catalyst systems show a very good aging performance and will be the next generation of urea SCR catalysts for mobile applications.

The kohl is only skin deep, and anyone looking too closely at these two street urchins would soon discover just how shallow is their diguise, given the children's clean nails, relatively good nutrition and decent teeth.
Alphonso's blond hair (from manuscript images it seems he really was blond) probably made him almost as much of stand-out in Toledo's streets as Mayor's russet mop does.
Kohl has been in use as a cosmetic from 3000 BC. Apparently the Prophet Mohammed used it. Definitely not out of place in Toledo, with its three cultures (Islamic, Jewish and Christian).

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure." –H.L. Mencken, writer, editor, and critic (1880-1956)

Truth and Singularity: Taking Foucault into Phenomenology (Phaenomenologica)
The aim of these essays is to disentangle us from the opposition between universalism and relativism in which so many of the debates in recent contemporary philosophy have been caught. This volume shows that what is in fact returning in these discussions and maneuvering them into a pre-set course is the very ambiguity, `the subject', which they seek to repress.

Miggy and Pujols lead first basemen
Updated (3/30)
Having lived in the Los Angeles area for the past several years,
I'm used to the springtime being reserved for the Los Angeles
Lakers' playoff run. Talk about the Dodgers has been
relegated to the back pages and rumor, conjecture and speculation
about team ownership. The Angels quietly went along winning, but
there wasn't much of a buzz about this squad.
The Lakers have had some issues in the post-Phil Jackson era,
thereby opening the door for baseball to take center stage again.
The sale of the Dodgers to a group that included Magic Johnson
certainly doesn't hurt matters. And, of course, the addition
of Albert Pujols puts the Angels among the top contenders for a
World Series run.
I humbly submit my updated first base rankings for the 2012
Major League Baseball campaign. Albert Pujols remains a fantasy
behemoth, without a doubt, but he's only second here.
1. Miguel Cabrera, DET
2011 Stats: .344, 30 HR, 105 RBI, 111 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: I'm leaving Cabrera at the top spot.
I'm certainly aware of the facial injury sustained during
spring training, but Cabrera expects to be ready to mash coming
opening day.
As for the rest of his resume, what else do I need to say? In
eight complete MLB seasons, Cabrera has averaged 33 home runs and
115 RBI while posting a composite .320 batting average. Those gaudy
totals include four seasons of play in the spacious confines of Sun
Life Stadium.
Cabrera has averaged 76 extra-base hits in his past three
seasons as a member of the Tigers. Oh, he also welcomes Prince
Fielder to the mix for 2012.
* As a bonus, Cabrera will reestablish third base eligibility in
the month of April.
2. Albert Pujols, LAA
2011 Stats: .299, 37 HR, 99 RBI, 105 Runs, 9 SB
Analysis: Say it simply. Pujols is a beast. In 2012, he
will begin to write the second chapter of his Hall of Fame book.
The first chapter puts Pujols among the game's all-time
heroes. In 11 years with the Cardinals, Pujols averaged 40 home
runs with 120 RBI and a major league-best .328 batting average.
Will there be an adjustment period for Pujols in Los Angeles? I
am not concerned about him experiencing a significant decline in
his power numbers. However, I would be remiss if I failed to
acknowledge that his batting average has dropped in three
consecutive seasons. Frequent road trips to Oakland and Seattle
certainly won't help the cause.
3. Joey Votto, CIN
2011 Stats: .309, 29 HR, 103 RBI, 101 Runs, 8 SB
Analysis: Votto continued his assault on NL pitching in
2011. He batted .309 with 29 home runs and posted his second
straight 100-RBI season. Votto is an extra-base hit machine, having
averaged 67.5 extra-base hits in his four full major league
Interestingly, Votto's career batting average and power
numbers are actually higher away from Great American Ballpark. His
career batting average is 33 points higher on the road, and
he's logged 25 more extra-base hits (seven fewer home runs)
in 55 more at-bats. At 28 years old, he's just entered his
4. Adrian Gonzalez, BOS
2011 Stats: .338, 27 HR, 117 RBI, 108 Runs, 1 SB
Analysis: Gonzalez escaped the deep power alleys of
Petco Park for Fenway in 2011, and fantasy owners celebrated the
overall results. Some will note that he hit four fewer home runs
than he did in 2010 as a member of the Padres with 27, his lowest
total since becoming an everyday player in 2006. Look at the bigger
He crushed his previous career-best batting average with a
.338 mark while slamming 75 extra-base hits. Gonzalez scored a
career-high 108 runs and fell just short of his previous RBI high
with 117.
Year two of his Boston tenure will be positively terrifying for
pitchers if the core of the Red Sox lineup stays healthy.
5. Prince Fielder, DET
2011 Stats: .299, 38 HR, 120 RBI, 95 Runs, 1 SB
Analysis: "If heaven ain't a lot like Detroit,
I don't wanna go." – Kid Rock
Fielder explored free agency and took what seemed to be an
eternity to finally decide on taking over the city where his father
loomed large some 15 years ago. Are you fearful or a downturn in
production now that Fielder won't be teamed with Ryan Braun
anymore? Fret not, as I hear that Cabrera kid might be pretty
Fielder's batting average fluctuated during his six-year
run of destruction for the Brewers. His .299 mark of 2011
established a new career best. Still, he's just now entering
his prime and will feast on AL Central pitching alongside Cabrera.
I don't care what his numbers look like at the back end of
the deal right now. In 2012, Fielder will be a monster.
6. Paul Konerko, CWS
2011 Stats: .300, 31 HR, 105 RBI, 69 Runs, 1 SB
Analysis: All of the would-be power in the White Sox
lineup was sapped last season. Whatever evil befell the bats of
Dunn, Rios and the other sluggers, Konerko obviously had immunity.
Konerko posted the seventh 30-home run season of his career and
eighth season with at least 97 RBI.
Most importantly, Konerko posted his second consecutive .300
season (.312 in 2010) and has remained remarkably durable.
He's appeared in at least 137 games in 12 of his 13 seasons
in Chicago. Look for bounce-back seasons from Dunn and Rios with
the steady bat of Konerko leading the way.
7. Carlos Santana, CLE
2011 Stats: .239, 27 HR, 79 RBI, 84 Runs, 5 SB
Analysis: Fantasy owners so loved the sneak preview
that they received from Santana in 2010 that the hype machine
kicked into full gear during spring training for the 2011 season.
The 25-year old backstop responded with a power-packed first full
season, finishing second in home runs and fourth in RBI among
Nearly half of Santana's hits in 2011 went for extra
bases, and he did show an advanced batting eye with his 97 walks.
He owned a .315 BABIP, and we can reasonably expect his strikeout
total to dip in his second complete major league season (he struck
out once per five at-bats in Triple-A).
8. Eric Hosmer, KC
2011 Stats: .293, 19 HR, 78 RBI, 66 Runs, 11 SB
Analysis: Fantasy owners anxiously awaited the
arrival of Hosmer from the minor leagues at the start of the 2011
season. They were not disappointed with the results following
Hosmer's debut in May. He contributed strong numbers to all
five standard fantasy categories.
I hang a star on his 11 stolen bases in 16 attempts. Hosmer will
match the power production of many other prominent first base
options. Discount his strong September performance against call-ups
and teams fading toward the close of the season when he batted .349
with five home runs and 19 RBI. Hosmer batted .278 with 14 home
runs, 20 doubles and 59 RBI in his first 103 games.
Did I mention that the 6-foot-4 behemoth from the left side of
the plate is only 22 years old?
9. Mark Teixeira, NYY
2011 Stats: .248, 39 HR, 111 RBI, 90 Runs, 4 SB
Analysis: Teixeira posted his eighth consecutive 30-home
run season for the Yankees in 2011, his fourth consecutive season
with at least 33 home runs. He also logged at least 105 RBI in each
of those seasons.
Teixeira's power contribution to fantasy lineups
shan't be questioned in the always-loaded, though aging, New
York lineup. I am moderately concerned about the dramatic downturn
in his batting average in the past two years. Teixeira possesses a
strong .281 career batting average. He batted .256 and .248 in the
past two seasons, respectively.
10. Michael Morse, WAS
2011 Stats: .303, 31 HR, 95 RBI, 73 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: Morse was on the radar with a
"sleeper" tag following his strong performance as a
part-time contributor to Washington in 2010. He produced 29
extra-base hits in 266 at-bats with 41 RBI and a strong .289
batting average.
Nobody could have expected the former Seattle prospect to
experience a true breakthrough campaign at 29 years old.
That's exactly what Morse produced in 2011. He slammed 67
extra-base hits, including 31 home runs, and drove in 95 runs. He
obliterated opposing pitching despite missing his tag team partner,
Ryan Zimmerman, for much of the season (Zimmerman was limited to
101 games).
11. Freddie Freeman, ATL
2011 Stats: .282, 21 HR, 76 RBI, 67 Runs, 4 SB
Analysis: Freeman's arrival was trumpeted as the
catalyst to propel slugger Jason Heyward to greater heights. In
2011, Freeman outperformed Heyward and ranked as one of the best
value players in fantasy baseball.
Freeman owned right-hand pitching as a 22-year old. He batted
.299 with 38 of his 53 extra-base hits and 54 of his 76 RBI. Take
into account that Freeman also batted a dismal .217 in his first 28
games before figuring it out. Look for the bounce-back from Heyward
and a boost to Freeman's RBI count.
12. Mike Napoli, TEX
2011 Stats: .320, 30 HR, 75 RBI, 72 Runs, 4 SB
Analysis: Despite sustaining a strained oblique that
sidelined him for a good, long stretch of the early summer (he
appeared in only 113 games), Napoli still posted new career marks
in home runs, RBI, runs scored and batting average as a member of
the Rangers. No longer mired in a platoon situation as he was for
much of his tenure in Los Angeles, Napoli was free to mash in a
loaded lineup and fantastic hitting backdrop.
The .320 batting average he earned in 2011 was 69 points higher
than his career mark entering the season. Once he cleared the
oblique issue, Napoli went on a prolonged tear, producing a
ridiculous .383 batting average after the All-Star Game. His
strikeout rate dropped in tandem with an improved walk rate. I
shan't anticipate a repeat of that level of play in the
batting average column, but Napoli should settle into the .270-.280
range with his standard power output (20 or more home runs in four
consecutive seasons).
13. Paul Goldschmidt, ARI
2011 Stats: .250, 8 HR, 26 RBI, 28 Runs, 4 SB
Analysis: Goldschmidt decimated Double-A pitching
for the Mobile BayBears before getting his much-anticipated call to
Arizona. He produced 54 extra-base hits, including 30 home runs,
with 94 RBI in 366 at-bats.
The name of the game is power for Goldschmidt. He slammed 18
extra-base hits with 26 RBI in his 156 at-bats with the
Diamondbacks. Of course, Goldschmidt will need to cut down on his
scary strikeout rate to maximize his potential. I can't bank
on him posting a ridiculous .378 BABIP.
14. Lance Berkman, STL:
2011 Stats: .301, 31 HR, 94 RBI, 90 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: We had heard the "R" word
(retirement) concerning Berkman following a difficult 2010 season
and persistent knee issue. Nobody could have seen this career
revitalization occurring in St. Louis.
He produced his best overall season since 2008 and appeared in
145 games. The departure of Albert Pujols allows Berkman to move to
first base full-time, which should put less strain on his legs.
15. Michael Young, TEX
2011 Stats: .338, 11 HR, 106 RBI, 88 Runs, 6 SB
Analysis: Following a three-year downturn in his hit
rate, the former AL batting champ was back on his game in 2011.
Young produced the sixth 200-hit season of his career and
established new career highs in batting average (.338) and RBI
(106). The increased batting average was accompanied by a reduction
in his home run rate (he'd hit 22 and 21 home runs in the
previous two seasons, respectively), but Young continued to lace
balls into the gap (41 doubles).
Young owns a career .304 batting average and has hit .284 or
better in every season since 2002. In this lineup, Young remains a
strong three-category performer (BA, runs and RBI) with the
potential to boost his home run total.
* The versatile performer also appeared at every infield
position last season. Young has positional eligibility at first
base, second base and third base.
16. Mark Trumbo, LAA
2011 Stats: .254, 29 HR, 87 RBI, 65 Runs, 9 SB
Analysis: First, it should be noted that Trumbo has been
cleared to resume baseball work and will be ready for opening day
after sustaining a foot injury in his huge rookie season.
That's great news for owners anticipating a huge follow-up
effort from Trumbo in the heart of the Los Angeles lineup alongside
new arrival Albert Pujols.
Trumbo posted a strong .327 BABIP with 61 extra-base hits (31
doubles) as a rookie, offering a bonus of nine stolen bases.
He'll certainly have ample RBI opportunities with Pujols
hitting ahead of him.
17. Kevin Youkilis, BOS:
2011 Stats: .258, 17 HR, 80 RBI, 68 Runs, 3 SB
Analysis: Youkilis' power production is still there
on an at-bat basis, but he's missed 102 games in the past two
seasons. In 2011, Youkilis required surgery to repair a sports
hernia and played through pain in his hip.
I'm most curious about the disparate home-road splits from
2011. Youkilis hit at a .320 clip in his 63 home games with 36
extra-base hits. He struggled to a dismal .191 batting average in
209 road at-bats. I'll chalk those road struggles up to
injury and discomfort on the road with expectations that a full
offseason of rehab will get him back to form.
18. Pablo Sandoval, SF:
2011 Stats: .315, 23 HR, 70 RBI, 55 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: Sandoval missed significant time in 2011 because
of a wrist injury, but still absolutely obliterated the weak output
he put forth in 2010. He generated 52 extra-base hits in his 426
at-bats with 70 RBI, translating his high doubles count into home
runs. Sandoval's batting average improved 47 points over his
2010 struggles.
He's a good contact hitter, though an improvement of his
walk rate would certainly be welcome. Sandoval was in "the
best shape of his life" coming into camp last year and
performed brilliantly. I suspect that we see numbers in line with
his 2009 and 2011 output.
19. Billy Butler, KC:
2011 Stats: .291, 19 HR, 95 RBI, 74 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: I love the Kansas City lineup. I may not
be the first to say it. Then again, I probably do rank among the
first to do so.
Butler is now one of the veteran leaders at the ripe old age of
25. He's been a consistent contributor to fantasy lineups for
the past three years and is just now entering his power prime.
Butler has averaged 18.3 home runs, 46.7 doubles and 88.7 RBI in
the past three seasons with a composite .303 batting average. The
added protection in the Kansas City lineup portends to bigger power
numbers from Butler in 2012.
20. Adam Dunn, CWS
2011 Stats: .159, 11 HR, 42 RBI, 36 Runs
Analysis: If you were to call the 2011 season
"lost" for Dunn, you would be greatly understating the
matter. His strikeout rate was the only portion of his game to
accompany him to Chicago in his first season (177 strikeouts in 415
at-bats). Dunn was limited to 27 extra-base hits with 42 RBI.
I'm anticipating a bounce-back season from Dunn in
post-Guillen Chicago. He's changed his offseason strategy,
spending ample time in the batting cage while working out more than
he had in the past. Robin Ventura will reportedly work Dunn some at
first base and the outfield to keep him "in" games and
break up the long stretches at DH. He'll offer great value in
the middle rounds following a torturous 2011 season. That string of
homer-happy seasons didn't occur so very long ago.
21. Mark Reynolds, BAL:
2011 Stats: .221, 37 HR, 86 RBI, 84 Runs, 6 SB
Analysis: Reynolds looks to win his fifth straight
strikeout title in 2012. He also seeks to give Baltimore fans
something to cheer about with his fourth consecutive 30-home run
season. Reynolds has hit at least 28 home runs in each of his first
four full major league campaign.
It would require a huge BABIP to boost his batting average, as
you're looking at a strikeout every third at-bat (.238
lifetime batting average). Take the three-category production and
handful of stolen bases. Any boost in the batting average would be
a huge bonus.
22. Ryan Howard, PHI
2011 Stats: .253, 33 HR, 116 RBI, 81 Runs, 1 SB
Analysis: Howard is reportedly progressing well from his
Achilles' injury and will be set to return to the
Philadelphia lineup in May. The skeptic in me wonders whether
we're looking at two months of missed activity and many
precautionary off days.
Howard logged his sixth consecutive season with at least 31 home
runs and 108 RBI. He may slip far enough in drafts to represent a
huge bargain for his 110-130 games played.
23. Gaby Sanchez, MIA
2011 Stats: .266, 19 HR, 78 RBI, 72 Runs, 3 SB
Analysis: Sanchez's overall numbers were
solid, but his dramatic decline in the second half is obviously
concerning. He hit at a dismal .225 clip after the All-Star break
with 28 RBI against his .293 first-half with 50 RBI.
The Marlins obviously brought in reinforcements to get the line
moving and to boost run production for Ozzie Guillen.
Sanchez's home-road splits were even for 2011. In fact, he
produced better power numbers in a difficult home park. The new
offensive additions will give him better pitches to hit and even
out his performance.
24. Michael Cuddyer, COL
2011 Stats: .284, 20 HR, 70 RBI, 70 Runs, 11 SB
Analysis: Cuddyer generated 51 extra-base hits (29
doubles) with 70 RBI in his final season for the Twins. In his
final three years in Minnesota, Cuddyer averaged 60 extra-base hits
(22 home runs) and 81.7 RBI. I can't wait to see him hit
alongside CarGo and Tulowitzki in Colorado.
25. Carlos Lee, HOU
2011 Stats: .275, 18 HR, 94 RBI, 66 Runs, 4 SB
Analysis: "El Caballo" isn't an
exciting player in the fantasy realm. He doesn't run anymore,
but he remains a solid, productive hitter. He rebounded from a
sub-par 2010 when he batted .246 to hit .275 in 2011, more in line
with his .286 career mark.
With little support in the lineup, Lee still rapped out 60
extra-base hits (18 home runs) and drove in 94 runs. In fact, Lee
had hit at least 24 home runs with 80 RBI in 11 consecutive seasons
before experiencing a minor power downturn in 2011. Take the
consistency at a value price point.
26. Adam Lind, TOR
2011 Stats: .251, 26 HR, 87 RBI, 56 Runs, 1 SB
Analysis: Lind was limited to 125 games last season,
but still bettered his 2010 numbers in home runs (up three) and RBI
(up 15). He also reduced his strikeout rate to one per 4.66
at-bats, down from 3.95 in 2010. That translated into a 14-point
gain in his batting average. Lind is still miles away from his
breakthrough 2009 campaign when he posted a .305 batting average,
but he remains a strong power broker. Take the power numbers at
Rogers Centre.
27. Ike Davis, NYM
2011 Stats: .302, 7 HR, 25 RBI, 20 Runs
Analysis: Owners had great hopes for Davis following his
breakthrough 2010 season (.264, 19 home runs, 33 doubles and 71
RBI). Alas, Davis joined the veritable conga line of injured New
York hitters and was limited to 36 games.
It's a new world order in New York for 2012. Jose Reyes
obviously affects things at the top of the order, and former
all-world fantasy hero Carlos Beltran departed for St. Louis.
Davis's strikeout rate is concerning (one per 3.86 at-bats),
but the team can't play worse overall than it did in 2011,
can it? Take the steady production from Davis in the middle
28. Justin Smoak, SEA
2011 Stats: .234, 15 HR, 55 RBI, 38 Runs
Analysis: Smoak delivered on the potential shown during
his ascent in the Texas organization last year, his first full
season in Seattle. He produced 39 extra-base hits (15 home runs)
with 55 RBI and a .310 BABIP.
I do hold out his strikeout rate and the big power alleys as
possible impediments to his growth, but the former first-round
draft choice has huge potential. Remember, he achieved strong power
numbers in 2011 despite missing time because of a thumb injury. The
Mariners made a move to acquire super prospect Jesus Montero and
bolster offensive production. That certainly can't hurt the
heart of the lineup.
29. Mitch Moreland, TEX
2011 Stats: .259, 16 HR, 51 RBI, 60 Runs, 2 SB
Analysis: Moreland demonstrated great power in his first
season for the potent Texas lineup. He produced 39 extra-base hits
(16 home runs) in 464 at-bats, though his strikeout-to-walk ratio
(2.4:1) was problematic and dragged his batting average down.
Moreland also saw his numbers drop precipitously in the second
half. His batting averaged dipped 31 points (.241 against his .272
first-half mark) and his power
30. Howie Kendrick, LAA
2011 Stats: .285, 18 HR, 63 RBI, 86 Runs, 14 SB
Analysis: Kendrick hasn't challenged for that
batting title that everyone projected several years ago, but
he's become a five-category contributor for Mike
Scoiscia's squad. His 18 home runs and 86 runs scored
established new career marks, and his 14 stolen bases matched his
best effort. The arrival of Albert Pujols will afford him ample
pitches to hit, and we can reasonably expect him to improve on last
year's heroics.
* Kendrick can also be inserted as an outfielder and first
baseman (23 and 17 games played at each, respectively).

It's the museum's first special exhibition after the extensive revamp begun last year. We worked with 20 museums and collections in six different countries to put this show together. It's a sign of the strong relationships we've built with international partners. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a great reason to come visit us.
For the annual Children's Season we've set up a maze and educational play area for kids in Once Upon a Time in Asia: The Missing Mouse. Inspired by the ACM's first children's book, The Missing Mouse, the exhibition brings children on an adventure in the galleries through a story based on museum objects. Bring the kids for some school-holidays fun.
Our new evening programme After Hours has been a success – monthly evenings of drinks and gallery tours by curators. Look for them to resume in September. With refreshed galleries, a fascinating special exhibition, and our new café and restaurant, you're bound to find something to entice you here at the ACM.
Don't just look, hear it.
Time travel with us at the Christianity in Asia special exhibition. Transport yourself back to a Chinese home in the 1700s. Picture an elaborate altar as you listen to the sounds of the household. The rich voices of Chinese opera singers on the radio, the rustle of prayer beads and a quietly whispered request, the sounds of cooking in the kitchen. Go on an aural adventure as you delight in the artworks in the show by creating a personal audio tour. Then share it with your friends.
Once Upon a Time in Asia: The Missing Mouse
28 May to 11 September 2016
Recommended for children ages 7 to 12, and for the young at heart.
