Don't Panic. Yes, those were the words on the cover of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and they'll stand you in just as good stead in fantasy baseball during the early part of the season as they did for Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent in the book.
Simply put, the first few weeks, even the first six or so are very fluid. Huge swings of over 20 points (and in some cases 30 or even 40) are possible as the numbers begin to come in game after game. Early in the season, a good or bad start, a blown save, or a guy having an 0-fer has a huge impact on your bottom line and most of it is illusion that will be erased as the number of games played becomes larger.
Fantasy baseball is rarely won by teams who just chase the hot hands. The key to the game is having a fundamental core of producers who you can count on year after year and supplementing them with guys who are either developing, having freakishly good years, or are just plain lucky. No matter the reason, the need to perform not just during that hot streak that all players seem to have now and again, but consistently when you need them to.
The first few weeks of a fantasy season are the time you should be assessing your team, figuring out your needs, and figuring out if your players can meet them. Occasionally we all find a player or two who are either in decline or who seemingly just can't figure out how to contribute to their real or fantasy team. The old hands generally will work it out provided the skill set isn't in too bad a decline, but younger guys can fall off the edge of the fantasy world rather quickly (just take a look at guys like Geovany Soto or Alex Rios last year).
Identifying these problem players and keeping a keen eye on them is a key factor in the success of many a fantasy team. If you really don't like what you see (and you should be seeing them either in person or via video, not just their stats), check their splits to make sure they aren't historically slow starters, and if they aren't you have to decide how long you are going to give them to come around.
If you are unsure, the rule of thumb I always use is give a player roughly 40 games (especially if you can keep him on the bench and prevent him from hurting your team) before deciding if it's time to cut bait. The disadvantage in waiting so long is that by the time you are ready to make a move, other owners can statistically see that you've got a guy who's been struggling and won't give you much, if anything for him.
If you think that trading a guy early is to your advantage then, be careful, especially if you drafted the guy based on his upside. If you jump too quickly, and the player manifests that upside it's easy to get badly burned unless you get fair market value based on history, position scarcity and ADP/auction value. It's even worse if you just cut the guy and you watch another owner scoop him up and cackle with glee when he suddenly is doing an Albert Pujols imitation for 5 months out of the year.
Basically what I'm saying here is that if you put your time in building a draft plan, targeting players who you believed in and then did your best to execute that plan, trust your initial judgment provided you built a solid core. A solid core of players will keep you in the mix while you wait and pass a fair judgment on those players you think are going to struggle. If you are right you won't have lost too much statistically, but if you were wrong you'd still have the upside on your bench, rather than seeing it on someone else's.
So unless you didn't build a solid core of veteran fantasy players there is no reason to panic. Just keep an eye on your players, bench the ones who are struggling badly (if you planned well enough to give yourself a bench better than what is available in the free agent pool) and give them a little time to turn it around. It won't cost you much and it will help you make a smart decision rather than a rash one which can bite you later in the season.

1) Father's Day. Expecting anything? Wanting anything?
Not expecting anything at all except maybe a card. My wife got a new key remote for my car fixed and we called it my Father's Day present. Don't really want anything.
2) Favorite band you've ever seen live? What band (regardless of whether they are together, alive, etc.) would you want to see that you have not yet?
Favorite band I've seen is probably Metallica. I have seen them 6 times and they have yet to disappoint. Band I'd want to see most... aside from standard answers such as the Beatles or Led Zeppelin, I'll go current and say Foo Fighters, Nirvana maybe as my #2 option from in my lifetime... or the "real" lineup of Guns N Roses back in the heyday.
3) Took my boys to the Colts Mini Camp public practice. My nearly 4 month old liked looking at the huge big screen monitors and my son loved running around on the field before the practice and enjoyed some of the 11 on 11 drills. As we left he was waving at the field saying "Bye bye football. Bye bye Andrew Luck". Gives me hope that he may actually sit down and watch football with me soon, right now he's not that interested he wants to play.
4) My oldest is a mere 5 days away from being 2 1/2 and my youngest is 9 days away from 4 months old.
5) My wife has been feeling nauseous the past 3 days... she's been dealing with some stress at work, but I'm wondering if she's pregnant. I got my 1st post baby nookie right around her ovulation date, we were protected, but I know that condoms don't always work... I am evidence of that. If she is pregnant, for a few weeks we would have 2 under 1. I'm really hoping that it is the stress... I want a 3rd, but not so close together, but if we are pregnant, I will love him/her. It isn't quite time to test yet, but will be soon.
1. Not expecting anything since I'm not a father yet. I would like the Last of Us for PS3 but I will probably buy that myself.
2. Tool...simply the best band I've ever seen. They are incredible. If I had to choose a band to see live it would've been The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
3. The timing of the rain this week has really screwed up my ability to keep our lawn mowed. It's been over a week and the lawn is looking overgrown as all hell. I'm breaking out the machete after work.
4. I work for a Telecommunications firm and I am constantly on hold with various phone companies. There is nothing worse than trying to fall asleep at night with hold muzak playing on an endless loop in your mind.
5. Getting rid of newbie status sucks.
1) Father's Day. Expecting anything? Wanting anything?
I am not expecting anything and I told my wife not to do anything. She is letting me go to the National Homebrewers Conference in Philadelphia and I told her that is more than enough.
2) Favorite band you've ever seen live? What band (regardless of whether they are together, alive, etc.) would you want to see that you have not yet?
The best show I've seen was Rusted Root. The whole place was just bouncing. It was really fun.
I wish I could have seen the Grateful Dead before Jerry died. I have seen the Dead, but I imagine it just isn't the same.
3) The little guy is sick. He has some kind of virus. Thankfully he doesn't have a fever, but he has been really congested and struggling breathing at times. We took him in yesterday, but they said there wasn't much we could do but wait.
4) My dad left on Monday so we are officially on our own now. We've worked out a pretty good schedule to allow me to get sleep for work which is nice.
5) Work is pretty stressful right now. We have a lot of new work that is pushing deadlines on other things that are also time sensitive. Too much to do and not enough manpower.
1) Hoping to get a good game such as Settlers of Catan, Dominion, or another geeky game.
2) Styx with my now wife, it was no where near a sell out crowd and we were off by ourselves so she missed hearing a few songs. I would love to see Led Zeppelin in concert but the last rock concert that I was at was a sell out and way too crowded for me. I don't like crowds and hate drunk crowds.
3) Both of my bosses are out, one on vacation and the other in China on company business. I am third in command and we had visitors from China that I had to take care off. Now I know how it feels to not be able to focus on key tasks in a timely manor.
4) My son loves to mow the yard with his bubble mower, he doesn't even mind if we don't refill the bubble part.
5) Had one of my coworkers saying that even with him taking vacation on Monday he was going to have in roughly 43 hours for the week (he is off tomorrow because of our 9/80 summer work hours). This to the me who is working a full five day week with a minimum of 11 hours per day and having to entertain Chinese co-workers for lunch and taking them to dinner twice (the second time they were easy on me and had me get them McDonald's to go so I could spend time with my family).
1) Hoping to get a good game such as Settlers of Catan, Dominion, or another geeky game.
Dominion is fun! I have a couple friends that I play with somewhat regularly. Between the three of us I think we have all of the expansions. I've only played Settlers a couple times, but I enjoyed it and it's on my list of games to get.
Favorite band I've seen is probably Metallica. I have seen them 6 times and they have yet to disappoint.
They are a great band to see live. The only time I saw them was at the Pontiac Silverdome on the new millennium show. They played with Sevendust, Kid Rock, and Ted Nugent. Metallica went for almost three hours and closed with a couple songs from Kill Em All. It was amazing!

The Virginia Plan was unsuccessfully proposed at the Constitutional Convention, providing for a legislature of two houses with propotional representation in each house and executive and judicial branches to be chosen by the legislature. The Virgina Plan was a document that outlined federal and state governments. The basic government outlines the Virgina Plan offered is used in America today. It was drafted by James Madison, and presented by Edmund Randolph to the Constitutional Convention on May 29,1787, the Virgina Plan proposed a strong central government. And that is something anyone should know especially a pearson studying the Virginia Plan.

James Percival returns to captain Worcester Warriors in their final LV=Cup group match against Saracens at Sixways on Saturday.
Warriors make a further four changes as they look to maintain their slim hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals.
John Andress and Alex Lutui return to bolster the front-row.
Chris Pennell and Andy Goode come into the backs to complete the side.
Saracens makes seven changes to last week's line-up. Alex Goode and Duncan Taylor are away on international duty and are replaced by Jack Wilson and Sam Stanley.
Alastair Hargreaves and Alex Rae both come in to form a new second-row partnership.
Ernst Joubert, Justin Melck and Petrus de Plessis are all added to bolster the pack.
Worcester head coach Richard Hill said: "Last weekend our set piece was good and our attack play was promising as we scored three tries away from home in the second half. Our discipline, by only conceding ten penalties, was also encouraging.
"Our defence was not as strong as it should be, but that has been addressed this week and there is no doubt about that. Phil Larder has been in and the players are under no illusions that that performance was totally unacceptable. It will be put right."
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Jon Clarke, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Blair Cowan, 7 Jake Abbott, 6 Richard de Carpentier, 5 Craig Gillies, 4 James Pervical, 3 John Andress, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Ceri Jones.

You may recognize Tara Stiles from her recent New York Times interview or cheeky YouTube videos like "Couch Yoga." But what this 29-year-old former model turned yoga instructor, is trying to achieve is far from a joke. Indeed, Stiles' New York City studio, Strala Yoga has recently become all the rage, attracting everyone from burly firefighters to Jane Fonda.
It's not hard to see why. Stiles's noncompetitive anyone-can-do-it brand of yoga focuses "on the physical and health aspects of yoga, not the spiritual or the philosophical." To get the full scoop, we spoke with Stiles. Here, her thoughts on everything from fashion to hangovers:
Your childhood ballet instructor introduced you to yoga. Did you fall in love right away?
I was a strange kid. I'd go off in the woods and meditate, then come back and tell my parents we are all connected. So, when I started doing yoga, I felt like I'd been doing it all along, just not how other people did it. When I was 17, my ballet teacher noticed my interest and gave me the book, Autobiography of a Yogi. I studied it and a year later, I moved to Manhattan with Ford Models. They had jumped on the YouTube bandwagon and asked the models if we could create content. I said I could do some yoga videos.
Who is your YouTube channel's target audience?
People like my Midwestern family, who thought my interest in yoga meant I was going Hindu or something. The truth is, a lot of people go to a class and don't connect with the teacher and get turned off, or they think they have to become vegan or religious to succeed. Also, there are so many different kinds of yoga that people don't even know where to start. My goal has always been to make yoga approachable and fun.
You named your yoga studio Strala. What does that word mean?
My husband Mike and I came up with it – it's a mush of the words "strength," "balance" and "awareness." I later discovered via a Google search that Strala is Swedish for "radiates light."
What does your style of yoga offer that other don't?
Well, our teachers don't give a talk at the beginning or end of class; they walk around and give adjustments. The vibe is very focused on the people in the class, not the teacher. It's not at all competitive. We encourage the opposite, actually, without being lazy. We also play good music, like Eddie Vedder and Zero Seven.
One of your YouTube videos is called "Yoga for Hangover." So, we're curious. What pose should we try the next time we're hurting?
Twists are great for wringing the alcohol out of your organs. If you can't get out of bed, just bring one knee to your chest and let it fall over to the opposite side for a few breaths, then repeat on the other side.
You posed for an American Apparel ad. Many women take issue with the way that company portrays women.
I've always liked the company, the fact that they're made in America, and their clothes fit me well. I met Dov (Charney, American Apparel's CEO) and went to his house. He took some pictures of me and a week later they appeared in an ad without my approval. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled, so they took them down. I told him I wasn't interested in moving forward but I do respect his innovation. He runs a really interesting business.
What can yoga teach us about body image?
Yoga is experiential: You experience things from inside-out, not outside-in. It's physical, emotional and spiritual fitness. You learn how to pay attention to yourself, how your body feels and get to know your intuition. People who do a lot of yoga are more likely to eat better and treat themselves better. If you can just let go of wishing you could fit in a certain size or stop getting on the scale and judging yourself externally, yoga feels great. And you can do it no matter what shape or size you are.
What's your favorite style of yoga? Chime in below!

Has anyone ever visited someone to help them improve their lifts? I've heard of seminars where a group of lifters go listen to a little presentation then goto the gym and max out/lift. Afterwards the coach tells you what you can do to improve, what caused you to fail, etc. I'm 19 years old and I was wondering if I could see some benefits by getting a little bit of advanced training. Here are my stats
Bench 320lb Raw, 350lb with shirt
Squat 385lb (low due to severe osgood slatters in both knees...that won't go away)
Deadlift 460lb
Also, if you recommend them, know of any good ones in the Ohio/PA/WV area?

Purpose of Life and Salvation in Islam
What is the Purpose of Life in Islam?
For a Muslim, the purpose of life is to live in a way that is pleasing to Allah so that one may gain Paradise. It is believed that at puberty, an account of each person's deeds is opened, and this will be used at the Day of Judgment to determine his eternal fate. The Qur'an also suggests a doctrine of divine predestination. {1}
The Muslim doctrine of salvation is that unbelievers (kuffar, literally "those who are ungrateful") and sinners will be condemned, but genuine repentance results in Allah's forgiveness and entrance into Paradise upon death.
Faith and Works in Salvation in the Quran
The Qur'an teaches the necessity of both faith and good works for salvation:
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. (33:43)
In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), that which ye were promised!" (41:30)
And fear the Fire, which is prepared for those who reject Faith. (3:131)
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and give zakat; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. (2:177)
You be foremost (in seeking) forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers: that is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding." (57:21)
Those are limits set by Allah. those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement. But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment. (4:13-14)
To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward. (5:9)
But those who believe and work righteousness,- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear, they will be Companions of the Garden, therein to dwell (forever). (7:42)
As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed. (18:30)
But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,-Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-Gardens of Eternity, those which (Allah) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass." S. 19:59-61

Cars Are Expensive, Poor People Need Transit
"Cars Are Expensive, Poor People Need Transit"
Mike DeBonis has an excellent article about Vincent Gray's streetcar flipflop and the blog-led activist backlash against him. But I do want to object to the characterization of people with a stake in seeing improved mass transit as "well-off, mostly white, living in gentrifying neighborhoods and inclined to vote." It's of course true that the audience for the Greater Greater Washington blog is, like the audience for all blogs, largely well-educated and affluent. But the substance of the mass transit issue is primarily a topic of concern for poor people. After all, to state the obvious cars are expensive. Not just expensive to buy, but expensive to maintain, insure, fuel, etc. It's cheaper to take the bus or ride Metro.
Indeed, if you think about it it's precisely the fact that mass transit generally serves a downscale politically disempowered constituency that explains why it's difficult to win generous funding for it. The emergence of interest in improved transit services among a slice of high-SES Washingtonians is a noteworthy political development that should benefit the city's low-income residents.

Community Mental Health Center for Mid-Eastern Iowa has been reaching out to the underserved and uninsured populations of Johnson County for over 40 years. The center provides psychiatric care to over 200 established patients and performs new diagnostic evaluations regularly. Because most patient are uninsured, obtaining medication requires use of patient assistance programs or other resources of free or low cost medications. Support from the staff allows for multiple ancillary interventions to be utilized by the resident for the patient's benefit. Supervision is provided by one physician, thus maintaining a degree of continuity of care. Residents consider the rotation an outstanding learning experience in public health psychiatry.

In this pamphlet, eight Unitarian Universalists (UUs) respond to the questions "How do you pray?" "Why do you pray?" and "What role does prayer play in your life?" These questions, of course, assume an affirmative response to the previous question, "Do you pray?" Some Unitarian Universalists would simply respond, "No."
The responses in this pamphlet reflect the wide variety of approaches to prayer among Unitarian Universalists. We have within our congregations a rich diversity of opinion and belief about prayer and many other religious matters.

—Catherine Bowers, Editor
In a desperate moment, I cried out for help, and I was answered. Some years later I am still a humanist—I believe that religion is about this world, about bringing justice and mercy and the power of love into life here and now. Yet I am a humanist who prays, who begins each morning with devotional readings and a time of silence and prayer. Why do I do this?
I need a quiet time.
I need to express my gratitude.
I need humility.
I pray because—alone—I am not enough and also I am too much.
I express gratitude for the gift of aliveness.
I assert my oneness with you and all humankind and all creation.
When I pray, I acknowledge that God is not me.
During the moment of silence in our Sunday service I close my eyes and sing, silently, inside my head, "Guide my feet while I run this race for I don't want to run this race in vain." As I sing in silence, I imagine myself and the congregation enfolded in arms of love.
At a hospital bedside I hold the hand of a dying woman. The words form in my mind—or perhaps in my heart—"Goddess, be with her, give her strength and courage and comfort for this journey."
The full autumn moon rises, huge and orange and glowing, and I feel my spirit lifting along with it. "Thank you," I say. "Thank you." In the moment of beauty it doesn't matter whom I am thanking or even whether I am heard. It is enough to be grateful and to be a witness to wonder.
The best advice on prayer I have yet found was given long ago by Jesus of Nazareth. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he said that prayer was nothing to flaunt about or show off. It is a personal matter, an intimate aspect of our living, and not the public proof of our righteousness. Prayer begins in the heart, that secret place within us all.
Other living traditions have taught me that prayer is an honest expression of how we are in the very depths and doubts of our souls. Prayer is the admission that we are fragile, fallible, and finite. Prayer is giving up, a way of creating a place within ourselves for this Mystery to dwell. Prayer is a covenant we make to be of service. Prayer is a way of living with the very questions that perplex us.
Prayer is an opening of the human heart. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he said, "Pray like this," simply, from the heart.
One morning many years ago, in those trance-like moments between sleeping and waking, a dream image came to me which has affected my subsequent life. A mist was streaming down into my body from above. It flowed through my limbs, but when it reached my hands, it was stopped by the blunt ends of my fingers. I woke up and held my hands before my face. I knew that, if I did not move my hands and feet and voice, the holy spirit would be trapped in my body and unable to do my share of its work in the world.
Prayer for me is taking time to be present for that gracious spirit and aware of the gifts that come to and through me simply because I am alive. One word for this time of presence is gratitude. Another word is meditation, in which, by observing my breathing, I become ever more aware of creation in process. In addition, prayer is theological reflection and social strategy, alone and in groups. This leads to a return of gifts bestowed, as in the wonderful Universalist affirmation which I love to recite in our communal worship, "Love is our doctrine, the quest for truth is our sacrament and service is our prayer. . . ."
Service, especially the prophetic, artistic, dogged work of systematic change for economic justice, is my prayerful response to all I have been given. When I act for justice, when I act with compassion, the spirit in me is no longer trapped at my fingertips. It can move and shake and shape and sing.
I've found through ordinary attention I can know enough to find authentic peace and joy.
We can know ourselves and our place in the play of the cosmos through sustained attention to what is going on. I've found the beauty and mystery and grace of our existence are revealed in prayerful attention. Through attention we can come to know the connections.
In my thirty years delving into the Zen practices of bare attention, this has been my experience. At the moments within our complete nakedness to what is we find our foolishness and glory are all revealed. Here our hearts and minds open. And, here, we come to an experience that is worthy of those wonderful words "meaning" and "purpose." Within this prayer, within this attention, we can find our connections as a deep intimacy. And out of this knowledge we find a moral perspective, a call to justice, and a peace that passes all understanding.
I composed a piece of music called "Healing Prayer," to be sung by combined choirs and congregations. I wrote it because a dear friend had been diagnosed with leukemia. He asked that his friends neither visit him nor call him, but rather that we simply pray for him. And people prayed—even many who had never before given prayer a thought. My friend is now well on his way to recovery. I am far too scientific to say that our prayer healed him, but I know that those of us who prayed found a deeper connection to him, to each other, and to the world we live in—and I know that my friend also found that connection between self and all things. I also know that this connection was more than mere thoughts—it was tangible—as tangible as the medical treatment he also received.
Growing up in the Unitarian Universalist faith has been a wonderful evolution for me. The words from Psalm 42 have become very meaningful: "As the deer longs for the stream, so my soul longs for Thee, O God." My longing is for the elation of compassionate connectedness—that incredible feeling of being a part of all actions—God or Creation as a verb—a self-organized interdependent event. I composed the "Healing Prayer," not because I believe in a higher power, but because I believe in a living universe with energies both powerful and subtle—all mysterious. At the end of "Healing Prayer," members of the congregation may offer the names of those in need of healing. It is a powerful moment—an emotional moment—a spiritual moment. We touch that which we long for—the living spirit of Creation.
I don't pray. As a Unitarian Universalist child, I learned how to pray. But when I got old enough to take charge of my own spiritual life, I gradually stopped. Every once in a while I try prayer again, just to be sure. The last time was a couple of years ago. My mother spent a long, frightening month in the hospital, so I tried praying once again but it didn't help. I have found my spiritual disciplines—walks in nature, deep conversations, reading ancient and modern scripture, love—or they have found me. Prayer doesn't happen to be one of them.
When I was in my thirties, still early in my ministry, I was stricken with a mysterious illness. My world turned upside down. I was hospitalized while the doctors ran tests, and my body did its own thing, separate from what I wanted of it. I was frightened, too frightened to pray. For the first time in my life, I understood intercessory prayer. I needed the connection, and I was not strong enough or grounded enough to establish it for myself. I needed someone to keep the lines open and clear, to maintain them and make sure they were secure in the turbulence that was ahead. I couldn't do that. It was all I could do to get through one day at a time, not knowing what was happening to me, a prisoner of a body that was becoming my enemy, rather than my connection to the sacred.
I asked my friend to pray for me. He did. I was astonished at its power. I felt the tears, the release, the comfort, and the assurance that the world and all that was sacred would wait for me, would hold a place for me, when I could not do the work of holding it for myself.
In that moment I could feel that the spirit of the universe held me, as it held every living creature. My friend's prayer had touched that spirit as surely as it had mine, and it had done so in my behalf.
I pray for people now. Every day. It is one of the most important parts of my prayer life. When all the rest of it falls away out of busyness or distraction, I can still, each morning, lift up those I love and those in pain, through prayer. And fortunately, there are those I know who pray for me.

Cato's release of its annual 10,000 Commandments is good reading. I didn't realize that regulation is one of three main ways the federal government funds projects for which it would rather not account. The first two methods are tax now and tax later (apparently the "do not spend" option is either not available or never selected). Regulation is the friendlier, off-the-books "third" way that government forces changes and initiatives and projects on the masses. It costs everyone money, about $860 billion in 2002.
George W. Bush hasn't made much of a small government mark so far, although he and his advisors are doing their part to reduce the size of the military in onesies and twosies every day in Iraq. Lots of military folks are now thinking twice before recommending the military to their own children and nieces and nephews. That could help shrink the size of the future defense force. A few weeks ago a truck driver with a 19 year old daughter explained to me that he is encouraging her to go into the Guard instead of the active services she was thinking about because at least if she is deployed forward, chances are good she'll remain in the States. This guy doesn't read Lew Rockwell or Antiwar.com, as a typical Shenandoah County resident he statistically votes Republican, listens to Rush and Hannity, and is the kind of patriot that the Bush White House is still proud of. His wisdom and perspicacity would shock the pollsters. He gets it, and there are millions in this country just like him.
A lot of these folks are starting to think about what good the federal government is really doing, and beginning to consider the personal costs of the vast gray federal beneficence. The fifty percent of the population that doesn't pay a lot of taxes has been counted on for years by the Democratic Party. Today's Republican Party considers them prime stooges as well. But these so-called beneficiaries of government-supervised wealth redistribution are not necessarily a rubber stamp for the political twinnage represented by Hillary and Dubya.
Big and Bigger Government cannot truly rely on this group — even though technically this near plurality of citizens seem ideal BBG supporters — they do not pay for government excesses while ostensibly "benefiting" from them. The secret is hidden in plain sight in the 10,000 commandments. Because these citizens tend to work for a living, often in small businesses, they understand the complicated decisions taken to hire and keep employees, and they understand how distant and often nonsensical rules and regulations impact their work life and that of their neighbors. They utilize the public schools, and they are as dissatisfied with state dogma as their wealthier kin — usually more so since they have no choice. These are the folks who waste their working day standing in line at the DMV to pay another new fee and their evenings struggling with federal and state forms and processes. Working-class people may not pay as much attention to internet monitoring and Dr. "Strangelove" Poindexter in Washington, but they increasingly fail to view state and federal agencies as their allies. These folks don't tend to get those dinnertime sales calls the benevolent feds (and their big business buddies) are so conscientious about all of a sudden. Many of these folks have historically viewed military service as a ticket up and out for their children, and now even that is changing, thanks to Dubya's brand of bratty imperialism.
Where I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, there was a certain attitude toward people who tell you what to do under threat of force and confiscation. We were reminded of that recently with the accidental capture of the accused domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph. The media (who also bought the T-shirts) seemed to enjoy reporting the idea of a regional lack of respect and trust for the feds, and this portrayal angered many of the locals as unfair and untrue. But there is no denying that there was a whole lot of laughing at the FBI, ATF, and the Attorney General going on behind closed doors, and it wasn't limited to Appalachia.
The fifty or so percent of Americans that the Demicans and Republicrats count on to passively support more government and increased federal taxing and spending, while simultaneously ignoring hurtful trends in government regulation of lives, casual expensing of the future, and adventuristic foreign policy are also the ones who tend to earn a greater percentage of their livelihoods in cash and barter, off the books. Funny how that off the books approach, perfected in Washington, cuts both ways.
The reams of paper containing the 10,000 Commandments are depressing and the image certainly makes consideration of anarchism or violent revolution attractive. Incremental change may not be possible. My brother, not a fan of whining and also not a fan of my columns, told me recently, "So what? You and these other folks mad about the war in Iraq and the size of government have an opinion! But where are the practical solutions? What do you offer other than sarcasm?"
The Amish "Ordnung" may provide some insights. The idea of "Be ye separate" may be the first step in a path towards smaller government, barring a sudden catastrophic collapse of the debt house of cards or the fledgling empire. The pollsters may not call us, the two major parties don't seem to truly understand or share our values, but we're here and we're not going anywhere. We are discussing our lives and our opinions with our families and neighbors; we are trading services and helping each other out. We are not afraid to say what we think, and we think the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are pretty good just as they are. We are the Americans who so amazed de Tocqueville in the early 1800s, and we may have it in us to help break the back of the 20th century scourge of big, bureaucratic, deadly government.
George W. Bush squeaked by in 2000 on a platform of smaller, less intrusive government and a foreign policy of nonintervention and humility. That message resonated. It continues to resonate with a majority of Americans. Unfortunately, Bush either lied or can't lead his way out of a paper bag. In this ongoing conflict between constitutionally defined government and massive suffocating invasive expensive government, this war of the ten thousand commandments, we need to take a stand, every day, with everyone we meet. For my brother, the former Marine, it's a practical action taken early on known as softening up the battlefield.

Sourcefire Delivers Above-Consensus Quarter
COLUMBIA, Md. ( TheStreet) - Sourcefire (FIRE) continued its momentum on Monday, comfortably surpassing Wall Street's expectations for its first-quarter results on strong demand for its cybersecurity products.
Revenue came in at $46.3 million, a 50% hike on the prior year's quarter, and above analysts' forecast of $41.64 million.
|Sourcefire reported first-quarter results after market close.
Excluding items, Columbia, Md.-based Sourcefire earned 11 cents a share, up from 4 cents a share in the same period last year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 8 cents a share.
The Cisco (CSCO) competitor also offered robust second-quarter guidance, predicting revenue between $46.5 million and $48.5 million vs. the average analysts' forecast of $46.45 million. Excluding items, Sourcefire sees adjusted earnings of 12 to 14 cents a share, surrounding the current consensus view for a profit of 13 cents a share."As we look to the future, we are confident in our ability to capture our share of an expanding market opportunity, and to continue to drive meaningful levels of growth," explained Sourcefire CEO John Burris, in a statement released after market close. Investors responded positively to the numbers, pushing Sourcefire's shares up $2.71, or 5.31%, to $53.70 in extended trading. Before the after-hours spike higher, the stock had already doubled in the past year, hitting a 52-week high of $52.54 on Friday. -- Written by James Rogers in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/jamesjrogers. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Many electric concept cars feature in-wheel electric motors to move them down the road, but only recently have they truly proven themselves as the greenest way to move future hybrid vehicles. A Vauxhall Vivaro diesel hybrid equipped with Protean's electric in-wheel motors recently showed a 300 percent fuel economy improvement in hybrid mode, showing that there really is something to these bad boys.
The Protean-equipped Vauxhall is being shown this week at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminar in Traverse City, Michigan. Said Protean Chairman and CEO Bob Purcell of the design: "Our technology is uniquely designed for high-output, high-efficiency operations. Our in-wheel motors are unique in that they have the rotor on the outside and each motor's electronics on the inside. That simplicity of design creates more power density per motor and much simpler vehicle integration. It's the closest thing to a bolt-on hybrid system."
Protean's in-wheel motors can be integrated into new or existing vehicles, which makes this incredible leap in efficiency even more exciting for an industry that needs to find ways to make all vehicles more fuel efficient–and quickly.

Wait, so are they saying that current hybrids are, at best, 25% efficient, even in EV mode?
The figures here are a bit iffy.
If instead the claim is that they ran a normal Vivaro and a hybrid-boosted one through a normal euro fuel consumption test schema and the latter was 3x more frugal, then DUHHHHHH.
Though that in itself is rather debateable with commercial vehicle diesel motors being in the 30-40 percent chemical-to-kinetic energy conversion efficiency range… If the source electricity came from some kind of futuristic 99% efficient diesel turbine generator, then the electric motors + drive electronics + charge system would still be managing a minimum 90 (and max 120!) percent themselves.

text: Horner: We have yet to see the best of Vettel 28 November, 2012 Christian Horner celebrates with Sebastian Vettel after the Brzilian GP Nov.28 (Reuters) Sebastian Vettel will only get better and better as a driver. So predicts Red Bull team principal Christian Horner after witnessing the German becoming the youngest triple Formula One world champion, in the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday. Horner, who also said that McLaren would be weakened by Briton Lewis Hamilton's departure to Mercedes, was full of praise for Vettel as the Red Bull team arrived home to their Milton Keynes base in England on Tuesday. "I think as his experience grows, he is continuing to grow as a person. We've yet to see the best of him," Horner told reporters of a 25-year-old he describes as "amongst the greats". The ominous warning to Red Bull's rivals came after the team clinched the driver and constructor world titles for the third year in a row. Vettel showed immense composure at Interlagos, finding himself at the back of the field and facing backwards after an early crash before fighting his way up to sixth to beat Ferrari's Fernando Alonso to the title by three points. Car designer Adrian Newey was again integral to Red Bull's success, however, and Horner hailed a technical genius who almost all the other teams would love to have. "The team is working fantastically well, we have some great members of the team with great technical leadership from Adrian Newey, but it has to flow through the whole organisation and I think what we have achieved with sustained success is quite phenomenal," Horner told Sky Sports. "F1 at the moment is going through a halcyon period." Mercedes finished in fifth spot after another disappointing season for the much-hyped Germans, who waved goodbye to retiring seven-time champion Michael Schumacher after three years of abject failure since his comeback. While Mercedes crave a man like Newey to try to substantially boost their performance, Horner thinks 2008 world champion Hamilton's arrival behind the wheel will at least give them some more zip. "I think McLaren is a weaker team without Lewis," the Briton said. "I think McLaren would admit that. "Whichever team had taken Lewis, he would be an asset. I'm sure he will naturally add performance to Mercedes next year." Subbed by AJN.

Now he cannot even match the old slow Massa. suhas This is too much now. Best of vettel he says, I believe this is his last title that he has won.

Great car just an advantage while it doesn't have good reliability. jl Alonso is the best, absolutely the best. But,.. the best already defeated. So,… who is the best here?

Elliot S. Maggin, also spelled Elliot S! Maggin (born 1950), is an American writer of comic books, film, television and novels. He was a main writer for DC Comics during the Bronze and early Modern ages of comics in the 1970s and 1980s. He is particularly associated with the character of Superman, where he worked on both Action Comics[1] and Superman.[2]
He has also been active with the Democratic Party of the United States, twice running for the nomination of his party for the United States Congress — once from the 2nd district of New Hampshire in 1984 and again from the 24th district of California in 2008.
Maggin started working as a professional writer in his teens, selling historical stories about the Boer War to a boys' magazine. He attended Brandeis University, where he wrote a term paper titled "What Can One Man Do?" for a class during his junior year. When it received a grade of B+, Maggin disagreed with the assessment, remade it as a comic book script, and sent his script to DC Comics. It was passed around the DC offices, and Neal Adams chose to draw the script.Though the initial grade was not amended, Maggin became a writer for DC, selling his stories to fund a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
During Maggin's time at Brandeis, he also befriended the university's vice-president, meeting his family. During one of the meetings, the vice-president's stepson (and future comic book writer) Jeph Loeb suggested a story that would eventually be called "Must There Be a Superman?". Maggin used the idea, which became his initial foray into the Superman comic book, a title he would write from 1971 to 1986.[3] He also wrote for Green Arrow, where his sense of humor was allowed far more freedom in the loose dialogue of the main character.
Maggin is responsible for a number of innovations in the DC Multiverse. Two that continue to shape the worlds of DC are Superboy-Prime[4] (later given greater definition by Marv Wolfman, Geoff Johns and others) and Lexcorp[5][6] (later more fully developed by John Byrne and others).
Because comic book scripts tend to favor the exclamation mark as the punctuation of choice, Maggin routinely used it instead of a full stop. Out of habit, he once signed his own name Elliot S! Maggin and editor Julius Schwartz liked the distinctive rhythm of the name, insisting that Maggin's name henceforth be written that way. Explaining in an interview:
I got into the habit of putting exclamation marks at the end of sentences instead of periods because reproduction on pulp paper was so lousy. So once, by accident, when I signed a script I put the exclamation point after my 'S' because I was just used to going to that end of the typewriter at the time. And Julie saw it, and before he told me, he goes into the production room and issues a general order that any mention of Elliot Maggin's name will be punctuated with an exclamation mark rather than a period from now on until eternity.[7]
In addition to the hundreds of stories Maggin wrote for the DC comics universe, he has also written television scripts, stories for film, animation and journalistic pieces. Many of them have continued to show his allegiance to comic book characters. He wrote two Superman novels, Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday. He also wrote the novelization of the graphic novel Kingdom Come based on the story by Mark Waid, and a novel featuring the Marvel mutant superhero team Generation X. He has occasionally sold scripts to non-print versions of superheroes, including Spider-Man (1994), X-Men (1992) and Batman: The Animated Series.
Besides his work in comics, he has received compensation for raising horses, skiing instruction, teaching at various high schools and colleges, writing stories for Atari video games, and working on websites. In addition to on-going freelance writing, he currently works as a developmental learning consultant for Kaiser Permanente.
In 1984, Elliot first ran for political office as a candidate for the US House of Representatives in the New Hampshire 2nd congressional district.[8] The slogan "Maggin!" was used on his campaign button.[9] However, the campaign stalled at the nomination round, and Maggin did not compete in the general election for the seat. After the election, the campaign was the subject of a lawsuit brought by the Federal Election Commission, in which his campaign treasurer and the committee itself had to pay fines for failing to submit a 1984 quarterly report.[10]
On May 21, 2007, Maggin announced[11] that he would be running for the 2008 Democratic party nomination for California's 24th congressional district seat. On February 1, 2008, Maggin posted on the main page of his website that he had decided not to run after all,[12] effectively ending his 2008 campaign. In an essay written the following day, he cited principally financial reasons for his withdrawal.[13] It appears that at no point during this campaign did he ever officially file with the Federal Election Commission.[14]
He has made several works of fiction available exclusively online, including the short story Luthor's Gift and the novella Starwinds Howl, both of which take place in his Superman continuity. He is also currently presenting a novel-in-progress, Lancer, on his personal website.[15]
Maggin is himself a character in the DC Universe.[16] During the Bronze Age of comics, Maggin was a known resident of Earth-Prime and a major character in Justice League of America issues #123 and #124. In the Modern Age of comics, Maggin cameoed as Oliver Queen's campaign manager in issue 24 of DC Comics' 52. This appearance is notable for referencing a biographical fact about Maggin. The term paper which had been awarded a B+ at Brandeis University, and was subsequently Maggin's first sale to DC, posited Green Arrow's mayoral campaign in Star City.[8]

Monday 22 Dec 2014
By Julia Michalska. News, Issue 249, September 2013Published online: 25 September 2013
The history of the Jewish art dealer and collector Alfred Flechtheim, a vigorous promoter of Expressionist and Modern art in 1920s Germany, is being researched by 15 German museums that have worked together to produce a major online exhibition and database. Around 300 works with the Flechtheim provenance will be shown alongside photographs, letters and documents.
The organisers hope that the website will serve as a catalyst to find pieces that have been missing since Flechtheim's persecution by the Nazis in the 1930s. The driving force behind "Alfred Flechtheim.com: Art Dealer of the Avant-Garde" is Andrea Bambi, a curator and provenance researcher at the Pinakothek Museums in Munich.Flechtheim opened his first gallery in Düsseldorf in 1913, later running galleries in Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne and Vienna. He staged exhibitions by artists such as Max Beckmann, George Grosz and Paul Klee, but, being Jewish and promoting almost exclusively "degenerate" art, he soon came to the attention of the Nazis. "From his letters, we can see that he already had trouble selling art in 1933," Bambi says. After a public smear campaign, Flechtheim emigrated to London in 1935 and transported much of his collection abroad. He died in an accident shortly after leaving Germany.The whereabouts of many works bought through Flechtheim's galleries are still unknown. The exhibition will include photographs of works that were in German museums until they were removed in 1937, but no detailed documents on the works confiscated from Flechtheim's Berlin apartment have yet been found. The organisers of the exhibition are using the online format to show the reverse of some of the works. Labels found on the back of paintings purportedly from Flechtheim's galleries made headlines recently after they led to the arrest of Wolfgang Beltracchi, a German master forger who faked avant-garde works worth millions of euros. "Flechtheim's labels look very different to those made by Beltracchi. They certainly didn't have his portrait on them [as in the Beltracchi fakes]," Bambi says.To accompany the website, the participating museums, which include the Sprengel Museum, Hanover, the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Museum Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and the Hamburger Kunsthalle, will show works from their collections that have the Flechtheim provenance, from October until early 2014. For more, visit www.alfredflechtheim.com; the website is due to go live on 9 October

Thank you, Albert, for the hint. The painting is already listed in the recent biography on Flechtheim by Ottfried Dascher, 2011, p. 427 (2 versions). Kind regards, Roswitha Neu-Kock
I would like to report that Fernand Leger's Der Flieger II, pictured in one of the extant photograph's of Flechtheim's Berlin apartment is currently owned, and on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Flechtheim's 1928 exhibition catalog of leger's work lists the painting as from the Flechtheim collection.
Kind regards,
Albert Albano

We Won and our 30th Anniversary.
The issue is if Peter was so interested in cleaning up the Queensway, why didn't he get rid of the Massage business that everyone seems to know are fronts for Prostitution. Milczyn, even said we have a problem when you have a Tanning salon and you have 4 black guys waiting for a booth. Yes, he actually said this to my lawyer and myself. Every thing seemed fixed, but lucky we have the Ontario Superior Court which is really fair, its just too bad we had to spend so much money to get there.
Anyway, its done, we have to move on and renovate the store.
Well we opened in Brampton in 1983 and I was a young puppy. Now the store is still open and its been 30 years. Since that one store we have done many things.
11 stores and one wicked website
Wholesale business for Canadian customers located in a 41,000 square foot distribution center, also in Brampton
Product development marketing departments within this distribution center
Manufacturing in Shenzhen, China. Providing work for over 150 people.
Creating international brands. Swan, Leaf, Lux for Men, PowerBullet.
Selling internationally to customers in the following countries: China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Australia, European Union, Russia, The United Kingdom, and South Africa.
I would say this is something to be proud of.
Party on Saturday July 6 in Brampton. Come and see our original store that started it all! Amazing surprise sale so you can save some big $$$, plus few draws worth 100s of dollars. Even the Mayor is making an appearance.

A man who Mesa police say admitted to firing shots from a handgun at a police helicopter and hitting it once, was arrested on assault-related charges on Thursday.
Ronald McCown, 30, was arrested shortly after 9 p.m., minutes after police responded to a family fight in the 8800 block of E. Dallas Street. As police were enroute to the house, McCown's wife alerted police that he drove away in an SUV with an AR-15 rifle inside the car, according to Mesa police.
As the helicopter was in pursuit of McCown, he returned to the house, exited the vehicle and fired a handgun at the helicopter, hitting it once and causing minor damage to it, police said.
McCown, who surrendered without incident, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of aggravated assault on police officers and could be facing other charges.
