What is a toll free number?
Toll free numbers in the U.S. can be dialed from anywhere in the country without paying long distance. These phone numbers allow businesses to advertise one unified number nationwide, as well as Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These numbers are easily recognized by their 800, 866, 877, or 888 prefix (e.g. "1-800-555-1212"). Since 800 was the first prefix available, toll free numbers in the U.S. are often interchangeably referred as, "800 numbers".
What is FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service?
FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service is a virtual phone system that handles many office functions without requiring a central office, extra staffing, or special equipment. These functions include an automated attendant in place of a receptionist, call forwarding and voicemail in place of a traditional phone system, the ability to send faxes over the Internet instead of using a fax machine, and the ability to start conference calls without teleconferencing hardware.
Do I need any special equipment to get started?
No. FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service is an equipment-free, unified communications solution. When you choose your toll free number and sign up for service, we will send you easy-to-follow instructions on how to set up and use your auto attendant recording, call forwarding, voicemail, and more, all configurable online through your WebLINK Internet Control Panel.
How long before I can start using my toll free number?
In most cases, you may begin advertising your toll free number immediately upon ordering service. The exception to this rule is if you use the FreedomVoice vanity search tool to select a custom toll free number (e.g. "8**-YOUR-BIZ"). These numbers are reserved from a shared national database through FreedomVoice and will be active within 1-3 business days.
How long has FreedomVoice been in business?
A pioneer in the industry, FreedomVoice has been serving the telecommunications needs of small to medium-sized businesses since 1996. Founder and CEO Eric Thomas started the company with the vision of helping entrepreneurs and small offices by virtually recreating the expensive phone system features and nationwide reach usually only available to large enterprises.
Do 800 numbers work in Canada?
In addition to the United States, FreedomVoice toll free numbers also work in Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To make your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service accessible internationally, we also offer U.S. local area code phone numbers that may be dialed from outside the areas listed above. Calls to these local numbers are routed to the same virtual office system as your toll free number.
Can I try the service for free?
FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service is available to try risk-free with our Free 30 Day Trial. We're confident our professional service and friendly staff can meet all of your telecommunications needs. Take us up on this offer, and you're sure to learn how FreedomVoice can help your business.

On the 31st day after signing up for service, the Free 30 Day Trial will end and you will be billed for monthly rental charges and any other optional features you've chosen.
How can I set up my FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service online?
Your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service comes standard with the WebLINK Internet Control Panel. This online interface allows you to change settings, check voicemail, update billing information, view call reports, and more. You may also create additional logins for your employees so that they can check only their voicemail messages or change only their settings online. Read more about WebLINK.
What is FreedomIQ?
FreedomIQ is a hosted VoIP PBX system from FreedomVoice. FreedomIQ uses voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology to allow specially-configured phones to place and receive calls over the Internet. To learn more about FreedomIQ and business VoIP service, visit our FreedomIQ website at: www.freedomiq.com.
Can I choose my own vanity toll free number?
Absolutely! FreedomVoice offers a free vanity number search tool for you to locate and reserve a vanity toll free number of your own. This search tool allows you to query the national database as often as you'd like at no charge. Vanity numbers are typically ready to be dialed within 1-3 business days and there is a $30 one-time fee for reserving and activating the vanity toll free number you choose.
Can I transfer my current toll free number to FreedomVoice?
Yes. FreedomVoice is a toll free RespOrg, or Responsible Organization, which means we are able to contact your existing toll free number provider to have your number switched from their service to your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service. To save time, we recommend making sure your account with your existing provider is in good standing with no balance due. There is a $30 one-time fee to transfer a toll free number to FreedomVoice.
Can I add a local phone number with FreedomVoice?
Yes. FreedomVoice is a Licensed Carrier, which means we can provide the same virtual office service offered through our toll free numbers with a local phone number. Callers that dial your FreedomVoice local phone number will experience the same auto attendant greeting, call forwarding, and voicemail as those who dial your toll free number. Adding a local phone number is a $10 monthly charge per number.
Can I keep my toll free number if I choose to cancel?
Yes, as long as your account is in good standing. This generally means that you do not have an unpaid account balance and have not had service suspended or cancelled for violating our Terms and Conditions (e.g. using the service for fraud). Your new provider will supply you with the necessary forms to have your number transferred from FreedomVoice.
Are 866, 877, and 888 toll free numbers?
Yes. 800, 888, 877, and 866 are all toll free prefixes and work identically within the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The 800 area code prefix was the first available, so you will often hear toll free numbers interchangeably referred to as, "800 numbers." 888, 877, and 866 were released in respective order to meet and increasing demand from small businesses for toll free numbers.
How many calls can my FreedomVoice toll free number take at a time?
As a digital service, there is no hard cap on the number of simultaneous calls your FreedomVoice toll free number can take at once. We've had customers receive thousands of calls simultaneously without any impact on their service or that of other customers. If you do expect that your toll free number will be taking large volumes of simultaneous calls, we recommend contacting Technical Support at 1-800-477-1477.
Does FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service require an activation fee?
FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service requires no activation fee. In fact, we offer our service free to try for 15 days! We want to provide you with every opportunity to try FreedomVoice risk-free so you can see for yourself the difference a professional virtual office and toll free number can make for your business.
Does FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service require a contract?
There is no contract to sign to get started with FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service. We don't charge a penny for technical support and we understand that your business needs might change over time. You're free to change your calling plan, add or remove features, or cancel service at your discretion.
Does FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service "double-bill" for call forwarding?
No longer. In the past, nearly all phone service providers billed according to how many lines were in use. On a forwarded call, this meant customers were billed two minutes for every one minute of time that elapsed. Today, over a decade of strategic partnering with carriers has allowed FreedomVoice to eliminate double-billing on call forwarding without any increase to our low monthly rates.
Does FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service include monthly minutes? What if I go over?
FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service service is available in a wide range of calling plans, each of which includes at least 100 monthly minutes. If you go over your minutes, you will be billed per minute at a very low flat rate based on your calling plan. You are free to change your calling plan from month-to-month to increase your included monthly minutes.
Can FreedomVoice help me script and/or record my auto attendant?
FreedomVoice offers professional voice scripting services upon request. For basic help working out a script for your auto attendant, or to submit a script you've already created for a quote to record, please contact email@example.com. Our average fee to record a script is between $60-$75. Review sample recordings from our professional voice talents.
Does FreedomVoice offer an incentive for customer referrals?
If you refer another customer to FreedomVoice, and they remain a customer for at least 30 days, we will credit your account for the monthly rental amount of your calling plan. That's a free month of service per customer you send our way – just be sure they remember to mention you when they're signing up!
Can I upload my auto attendant recording?
Yes. If you have already had a recording you would like to use for your auto attendant, you may upload the audio file through your WebLINK Internet Control Panel. You can also make a new recording over the phone at any time, or choose from one of our professional voice talents record your script for a small fee.
Can I forward calls to multiple numbers for one extension?
Yes. Each extension in your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service can be forwarded to as many numbers as you'd like. The numbers will dial in the order you list them, or can even be set up with an advanced call distribution (ACD) such as a round-robin rotation, least call time weighting, or simultaneous ringing.
Can I upload a promotional recording for hold music?
Yes. You may upload new hold music for your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service through your WebLINK Internet Control Panel. Whether you want to provide custom music for your callers to enjoy or want to use this space to keep your callers up-to-date on your latest promotional offers, your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service hold music is yours to change at any time.
How can I check my voicemail messages?
To check voicemail online, log in to your WebLINK Internet Control Panel through www.freedomvoice.com. To check your voicemail over the phone, dial your FreedomVoice toll free number (or local number, if applicable) and press * followed by the voicemail box you wish to check. You will be prompted to spell a valid user password for the desired voicemail box with your phone's keypad.
Can I add more voicemail boxes?
There is no practical limit to the number of virtual voicemail boxes you can add to your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service service. Voicemail boxes are typically provided in blocks of five boxes at a time for an additional $5 per month. To add new voicemail boxes, please contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1477.
Can I send and receive faxes?
Yes. To receive a fax, have callers send documents to your FreedomVoice number. Faxes will be stored online or can be forwarded to your email or a fax machine. To send a fax, log in to your WebLINK Internet Control Panel and upload your document. Then choose up to 5 fax numbers, add a cover page (optional), and send.
Can I change settings and see call reports online?
You can change your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service settings or generate reports online through your WebLINK Internet Control Panel. Log in to this secure web console from www.freedomvoice.com with your toll free number, your user name (email address), and password. From within WebLINK, go to the Settings tab for system changes or the Reports tab for detailed call reports.
How do I start a conference call?
Starting a conference call with your FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Service is as easy as picking up the phone and dialing. You and your conference call participants dial the FreedomVoice toll free conference call number and enter your unique conferencing PIN number. If you have forgotten the toll free conference call number or your conferencing PIN numbers, please contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1477.

Comments about ICEBREAKER Men's Kodiak Hoodie:
Icebreaker makes quality products and this is one of them. Depending how you layer, this hoodie can be used in Fall, Winter and Spring. It looks really good, is warm and comfortable, and is very well made.
Check out the Icebreaker site for sizing. A Medium fits up to a 38 3/4 inch chest and 33 1/4 waist, while a Large fits up to a 42 inch chest and 36 inch waist. Icebreaker says if you are in between to choose a smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit.
For a base layer a tighter fit is fine, but I returned the medium (way too tight for me) and got a large so that I had room to layer underneath. Fortunately the sleeves are not too long as sometimes happens when you size up, and the large doesn't look too big on me even though I normally wear a medium.

Finland beat the United States 5-0 in the bronze medal game at the Sochi Winter Olympics on Saturday.
For Finland, the bronze medal is their second straight, after beating Slovakia in the bronze medal game at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The medal is the sixth overall for the Finnish men, who have won never won gold in men's hockey, but have won silver twice.
The bronze is also the third straight Olympic men's hockey medal for Finland, which also won silver at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
The victory also gave the Finns some revenge over the Americans, who beat them 6-1 four years ago in the Olympic semifinals to advance to the gold medal game.
The U.S. lost to Canada 1-0 on Friday to send them into the bronze medal game, while the Finns dropped a 2-1 decision to Sweden.
The Americans lost their chance at playing for a gold medal in Sochi despite the outstanding play of goalie Jonathan Quick, who stopped 36 shots, but was beat by Canada's Jamie Benn for the lone goal of the game.
The U.S. has won 11 overall Olympic medals in men's hockey, including two golds, but has not won a gold since the "Miracle on Ice" at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Diaper rash is a common form of inflamed skin (dermatitis) that appears as a patchwork of bright red skin on your baby's bottom.
Diaper rash is commonly linked to continuously wet or infrequently changed diapers, diarrhea, and using plastic pants to cover diapers. Diaper rash also may develop after solid foods are added to your baby's diet, when breast-feeding mothers eat certain foods or when your baby is taking antibiotics.
Diaper rash can alarm parents and annoy babies, but most diaper rash cases can be resolved with simple at-home treatments.
Diaper rash is characterized by the following:
Diaper rashes can occur intermittently, anytime your child wears diapers, but they're more common in babies during their first 15 months, especially between 9 and 12 months of age.
Diaper rash is usually easily treated and improves within a few days after starting home treatment. If your baby's skin doesn't improve after a few days of home treatment with over-the-counter ointment and more frequent diaper changes, talk to your doctor. Sometimes, diaper rash leads to secondary infections that may require prescription medications.
Have your child examined if:
Also see your child's doctor if the rash occurs along with any of the following:
Causes of diaper rash can be traced to a number of sources, including:
Generally, a diaper rash can be treated successfully at home. But, if your baby has signs and symptoms of diaper rash that don't improve after several days of at-home treatment, are severe or occur along with a fever, make an appointment with your baby's doctor.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
Below are some basic questions to ask your doctor about dermatitis. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
In the time leading up to your appointment, avoid products that seem to trigger your baby's rash. Wash your baby's bottom with water after each diaper change, and avoid soaps and wipes that contain alcohol or fragrance.
Give your baby as much diaper-free time as possible, so that his or her skin can have a chance to stay dry and start healing. When you do use diapers, change them frequently and apply a diaper rash cream or ointment to act as a barrier between your baby's skin and a dirty diaper.
The best treatment for diaper rash is to keep your baby's skin as clean and dry as possible. If your baby's diaper rash persists during home treatment, your doctor may prescribe:
Use creams or ointments with steroids only if your baby's pediatrician or dermatologist recommends them — strong steroids or frequent use can lead to additional problems.
Diaper rashes usually require several days to improve and the rash may come back repeatedly. If the rash persists despite prescription treatment, your doctor may recommend that your baby see a dermatologist.
The most effective way to get rid of a diaper rash is to keep your baby's skin as clean and dry as possible. The best way to do this is with frequent diaper changes.
Various diaper rash medications are available without a prescription. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for specific recommendations. Some popular over-the-counter ointments are:
Zinc oxide is the active ingredient in many diaper rash creams. These products are usually applied in a thick layer to the irritated region throughout the day to soothe and protect your baby's skin. Zinc oxide can also be used to prevent diaper rash on normal, healthy skin.
Ointments or creams may be less irritating than lotions or liquid solutions, but ointments create a barrier over the skin and don't allow it to receive air. Creams dry on the skin and allow air through. Your doctor can tell you whether a cream or ointment would be better for your child's particular rash. As a general rule, stick with products designed specifically for babies. Avoid products that contain boric acid, camphor, phenol, benzocaine or salicylates, as these ingredients can be toxic for babies.
To aid the healing of diaper rash, do what you can to increase airflow to the diaper region. These simple suggestions may help:
While your baby has a diaper rash, avoid washing the affected area with soaps and disposable, scented wipes. Alcohol and perfumes in these products can irritate your baby's skin and aggravate or prolong the rash.
In the past, it was common to use talcum powder to protect a baby's skin and absorb excess moisture. However, doctors no longer recommend this. Inhaled talcum powder can irritate a baby's lungs.
A few simple strategies can help decrease the likelihood of diaper rash developing on your baby's skin:
Many parents wonder about what kind of diapers to use. When it comes to preventing diaper rash, there's no compelling evidence that cloth diapers are better than disposable diapers or vice versa, though disposables may keep baby's skin slightly drier. Because there's no one best diaper — use whatever works best for you and your baby. If one brand of disposable diaper irritates your baby's skin, try another.
Whether you use cloth diapers, disposables or both kinds, always change your baby as soon as possible after he or she soils the diaper to keep the bottom as clean and dry as possible.

Concerning Contraception and NFP
This is in response to the recent blog post from Lisa about Natural Family Planning.
Lisa was right when she listed Natural Family Planning (NFP) as a viable, Church-approved route to reduce the chances of a pregnancy, but she didn't give the whole picture. This is sady a topic that many Catholics of good faith do not understand correctly.
There are certain serious conditions that can make NFP lawful under Church law:
1. Medical- serious real and objective dangers to the physical or mental health of one or both partners.
2. Eugenic- real possibility of serious and incurable hereditary defects in the child. This can last for the duration of the marriage, or just for a period of time (like when the mother is taking perscription drugs that might cause birth defects)
3. Social- covering socal disturbances like famine, war, unjust laws limiting the number of children a family can have, etc.
4. Economic- In the case of TRUE SERIOUS financial hardship for supporting another child. This is perhaps the most common reason cited for NFP-practicing couples. But this reason requires brutal honesty before God. "The reason must be serious. Trifles are not enough. That the birth of other children might mean buying a less expensive car or sending the children to a less fashionable school would not justify the decision to have no more, for that would be making the ornaments of life more valuable than life itself. And not only could no Christian see things so, but only the devitalized could. Indeed, for one who has grasped what a human being is- made in God's image, immortal, redeemed by Christ- only the most serious reason would be strong enough to support such a decision." -Frank Sheehy
There are two purposes of marriage:
1. Allowing for the procreation and education of children.
2. The mutual comfort and support of the spouses and allowing a lawful outlet of concupisence (carnal desires) in the marital act between spouses.
#1 is the primary purpose, #2 is the secondary.
Natural Family Planning, if practiced simply because another child would be inconvenient, is essentially flipping the two purposes of marriage, making #2 the primary and #1 the secondary- the same spirit of those who practice artificial contraception. Regardless of whether the spouses are "open to life" despite their precautionary timing of the marital act, if Natural Family Planning is habitually practiced to take precautions against the likelihood of pregnancy, simply for its own sake, IT IS A MORTAL SIN. Please be aware of that.
Please don't think me a moral busybody. I've just recently learned about all the strings attached to NFP and want to clear the air. NFP is not instrinsically evil like artificial birth control. But it can be abused.
NFP can result in the loss of souls, and not just to Hell. Think of all the souls that could have been created if their parents were more generous in allowing God to bless them with as many children as He desires.
Mod Edit: Please post a link to articles when you are discussing. www.catholicmatch.com

Global Forum on MSM and HIV
02 August 2008
"The Invisible Men: Gay Men and other MSM in the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic", was hosted by Global Forum on men who have sex with men (MSM) and HIV on 1-2 August in Mexico City. The two day forum focused on coordinating a response to the large gaps in funding and services that currently exist for MSM living with and at risk for HIV and call for a scale up HIV funding and human rights protections for men who have sex with men. UNAIDS Executive Director Dr Peter Piot addressed the forum.

Fats Can Make You Thin
Eating fat is essential to reaching your ideal size. Fats do not, as a friend recently suggested at lunch, go directly from one's mouth to the fat cells on the tummy and hips. Of course, anyone who overeats fat could gain weight. Some is great for weight loss—too much isn't. Over and over again, when our fat-phobic clients add fat back into their eating, their stubborn weight starts coming off. So get ready to eat some fat and reach your ideal size!
Fats Are Not the Enemy
Lean Lingo
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas gland. It regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood and one of the hormones that causes the body to store fat. Dietary fats are fats you eat. Body fat refers to the fat your body stores in the adipose tissues of your body. Your body can produce body fat from dietary fats, carbohydrates, or proteins.
Dietary fat is an important component of a healthy diet. By eating the right fats in the right proportions, you can enjoy watching your body fat melt away.
Before we get into some of the nitty-gritty details about dietary fat, let's list some of the known benefits of fat:
Fat is required to manufacture hormones. Without fat, your hormones get out of whack. This includes your thyroid and the regulation of women's hormonal cycles, including menopause and conception. Men require optimum hormonal activity for high-energy sex and good muscle mass.
Fats are required for the proper communication of the neurotransmitters in the brain.
Fat is necessary for many metabolic processes such as red blood cell formation and insulin functions.
Fat lubricates your joints, maintains healthy skin, and aids in the digestion process.
Be sure to eat about 20 to 30 percent of your daily food intake as fat.
Aside from this list of benefits, fats also help satisfy your hunger because they take longer to empty from the stomach than other foods. And, let's not forget that fats carry the flavor of food and feel satisfying in the mouth.
Types of Fats
Fats are the most highly concentrated form of fuel. They contain more calories per ounce than either proteins or carbs. Fats come in three basic forms: saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Plus, today there's a fourth type of artificial fat present in food called trans fats. It can contribute to heart disease, so avoid eating trans fats.
The degree of saturation of a fat refers to its arrangement of carbon and hydrogen atoms. A saturated fat is one that carries the maximum number of hydrogen atoms in its carbon chain. It's "saturated." An unsaturated fat has room for additional hydrogen atoms, which tends to make it more biologically active.

Historic New Jersey Court Gets a Makeover
A historical basketball court in northern New Jersey is getting an upgrade.
Officials in East Orange announced plans today to renovate the court at Elmwood Park. East Orange City Spokesman Darryl Jeffries said the goal is to rejuvenate the historical court.
"It will be a comprehensive approach to rekindling a grand and glorious basketball tradition as well as to foster very wholesome fitness related activity," said Jeffries.

Sometimes you just want to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly camped in front of the TV, your baby sister won't stay out of your room, and you want some time to yourself.
But when you get it — maybe at a friend's house for an all-weekend DVD marathon or on spring break at Disney World — you're surprised to find yourself missing the chaos at home a bit.
What's that all about? Believe it or not, you're feeling homesick.
When you're homesick, you might feel nostalgic for familiar things like your family, friends, pets, house, or neighborhood. You can miss something as simple as your bed or the tree outside your window.
Homesickness isn't only for kids: Practically everyone feels homesick from time to time, even adults. Teens might get homesick when they leave home for the first extended period of time, like during a vacation with a friend's family or a summer job as a camp counselor. Going off to college is another common trigger.
Familiar surroundings, people, and routines provide a sense of security and comfort. In a new place, you may find yourself missing the comforts of home and loved ones. Those homesick feelings are completely normal.
Some people may only feel a little loneliness, sadness, or anxiety. Others may feel physical symptoms, like stomachache or headache, or even become truly depressed. Most of the time, once the new surroundings and people become more familiar, feelings of homesickness go away. But if you are feeling overwhelmed, it's a good idea to seek help from the school or camp counselor.
If you have additional stress in your life — like a divorce or a death in the family — homesickness can be more intense. When you're coping with other loss or change, you'll feel especially attached to things that bring you comfort and miss them more when you're not around them.
Luckily, homesickness is usually mild and doesn't last long. And you can do some things to make sure it doesn't spoil your fun:
Almost everyone has felt homesick at some time. Remember that there's a good side to homesickness, too: It means you have family and friends worth missing and a place you want to return to when your adventure away from home is over.

Game 148: Nats at Mets
Sep 15, 2011, 3:08 PM EDT
File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats go for a four-game sweep this afternoon at Citi Field.
Fresh off Brad Peacock's first career win last night, the Nationals are back in New York today looking to pull off a rare, four-game sweep of the Mets. To do that, they'll probably need another quality pitching performance from another September call-up: Tommy Milone.
Milone won't be an unknown quantity to the Mets; he made his big-league debut against them 12 days ago at Nationals Park and allowed four runs over 4 1/3 innings. So this could be a good test for the young lefty, the first chance he gets to face a lineup for the second time.
The Mets are sending their own rookie to the mound in right-hander Chris Schwinden. The 24-year-old went 8-8 with a 3.87 ERA in 28 combined games between the Mets' Class AA and Class AAA affiliates this season.
Enjoy the matinee ballgame; I'll be back on the beat from Nationals Park tomorrow for the start of the series against the Marlins…
NATIONALS at METS

Gametime: 1:10 p.m.

Gonat: I didn't say that I'm enamored with Upton. I said Mike Rizzo is enamored with Upton.That said, I do think Upton brings an unusual and alluring skill set, with 21 homers as of tonight, 73 ribbies and the 29 steals.Most important to me is his career on base percentage of .341.In thinking about hitters for the top of the lineup, I think we need to look beyond the batting average and focus on on base percentage.For instance, Ian's batting average is about 18 points higher than Upton's. But Upton's on base percentage is about 30 points higher than Ian's.By the way, I don't think Lombo is the solution for leadoff. He consistently hit .300 in the minors, but he didn't draw walks, either.You could always go outside of the box. In Oakland and Boston, Youk has done some leadoff duty because of his high on base percentage. Norris hit second in Harrisburg this year because he had a very high on base percentage, despite a batting average that flirted with Mendoza.Whoever winds up in cf, I think we'll see Rendon in one of the top two spots in a year or two. He's an on-base machine. (Don't know if he's a dancing machine, too.)Now let's go catch the Fish and stuff 'em in the microwave until they stink.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 16, 2011 at 1:53 AM
Whoops — I meant:Re: Phillies-Marlins — it's not bad enough for the Marlins (or good enough for the Nats) that they have to play 18 innings the day before playing the Nats — but they are playing more than 18?!Gotta love it! Burn out that bullpen, Florida!!
- baseballswami - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:02 AM
DCWonk – no problem – understood your point – which is a good one! We have got to pound the guppies!
- A DC Wonk - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:10 AM
"pound the guppies" — I like that — it has a nice flow to it!
- SCNatsFan - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:16 AM
I think the offseason will be interesting, and like Werth signing Rizzo won't tip his hat to what he wants. The biggest domino to fall is Morse; if he is the solution in LF and not 1B then Werth has to play center, Harper right, making a 'true' CF something we don't need. If Morse is seen as the 1B solution then what to do with LaRoche. I still think one of Desi, Espi and Lombard gets moved with a pitcher for a SP; with so many young arms in the system at some point a few will me moved to get a stronger starting 8.First things first though; sign Zim to an extension if he wants to be here.
- Gonat - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:22 AM
Drew8 said…Most important to me is his career on base percentage of .341____________________Again, in 1 year he is a Free Agent, Rizzo should sign him in the Fall of 2012 as a Free Agent. To me, .340 is the magic number so I like his career stats, not his current stats and I am really stuck with the 1 year rental.I am surprised the SFGiants arent pursuing Upton. They are a playoff calibre team that could use him on a 1 year rental.Another crazy idea is move Werth to CF, Morse to RF and bring back Josh Willingham in LF. His offensive numbers blow away Uptons and he is a Free Agent. Give Willingham some rest and he will produce like he did this year for Oak.
- Gonat - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:24 AM

Coming to the thread late and offtopic here.So I went to the Return Of Strasburg game with my sister a couple weeks ago. We had a great time and we're planning to go to the home finale on the 25th. She was given tickets to that game, but this time I'm going to have to buy them.So, what's the best place to get decent tickets at a reasonable price? I don't want to be sitting 600 feet from home plate, but at the same time I don't want to pay face value for $50 seats if there's anyplace selling them for cheaper.
- Wally - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:36 AM
NatsLady said…I have a question– I didn't see the game yesterday. Which Met is the smurf and why?I called Herrera a smurf, not sure if anyone else did. He is like, I dunno, 5'5", with a shaggy head of hair. With the blue hat, it just seemed to fit.Although today I switched to an Oompa Loompa. The hair made me do it.
- A DC Wonk - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:43 AM
Re: Tickets. I was wondering the same thing.When I read a Nats story at WaPo online, in the bottom left, there is a link to cheap tickets. It's an aggregator of sorts — listing tix from StubHub, eBay, TicketsNetwork, and more.I went to the listings on the 25th, clicked on "see more", and got this:http://tickets.washingtonpost.com/teams/allteams/tickets/?BrandID=wapostIFrame&EventID=1133493565&PublisherID=30087&WidgetID=1120601483I see infield box seats for as low as $17 there.So — I ask the collective wisdom of NI here: is this a good way to go? If so, is there anything I need to know?
- Gonat - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:50 AM
The 4 game sweep of the Mets was the first 4 game sweep by a Washington team in NY since the Senators swept the Yankees in 1924.Terry Collins told the NY media that he was "unhappy with his club's effort again the Nats"…and so it begins!
- Gonat - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:59 AM
Steve M. said… sjm, have a great trip and lets hope for at least 5 more wins. 10% improvement over last season would be a very good sign which is 76 wins.NatsLady, good Buerhle info on his durability. The one thing I noticed on his durability is that he also drops off in the latter part of the season. He is one of these pitchers who will help you more April to July like Marquis. His ERA in the 1st half was 3.42 and 2nd half 3.88. Still have to wonder how he would do facing 8 and a pitcher vs 8 and a DH. –My big negative on him is that he is poor on the road and that concerns me–.Like JD and I discussed before, for the right price you get him. He will be one of the top Lefty arms on the market. September 15, 2011 10:24 AM ________________________________Looks like you changed your mind on him this morning. Wait till you update your numbers based on his start tonight. Glad to read your thoughts. After watching him tonight, I am off the Buehrle train. He doesn't look right. He gave up 15 hits tonight and looks fried. He needs to be shut down.
- Drew8 - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:08 AM
SC: Ditto on the Zim extension.I think Morse starts the year in left, then moves back to 1b when LaRoche is dealt at the deadline. Harper comes up to play right and Werth moves to left, presuming they've acquired a centerfielder.They'll keep Morse because, aside from his manifest ability, he costs millions less than LaRoche and he's under team control for a couple of years.Gonat: One more time — I'm sure that Rizzo will not pull the trigger on a trade for Upton unless Upton agrees to an extension. This is why Rizzo did not get Greinke.
- Scooter - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:13 AM
Quoth Drew8…By the way, I don't think Lombo is the solution for leadoff. He consistently hit .300 in the minors, but he didn't draw walks, either.Drew, I like where you're going in general, but I wonder whether you had someone else's stat sheet in front of you?.298 average, .369 OBP, 9.1% walk rateNow, I'm not very conversant in walk rates. I looked up a few major-leaguers we might know, just to get a frame of reference. Her are their career (major-league) walk rates:Kevin Youkilis – 12.6%BJ Upton – 11.2%Ryan Zimmerman – 9.2%Ian Desmond – 5.3%Cristian Guzman – 4.6%So, 9.1% sounds like a decent walk rate to me, especially in the non-slugger category.
- Scooter - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:15 AM
I said…Her are their career walk rates:Obviously, that is a typo.I meant to say, "SHE IS their career walk rates:"
- Gonat - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:15 AM
Drew8 said… Gonat: One more time — I'm sure that Rizzo will not pull the trigger on a trade for Upton unless Upton agrees to an extension. This is why Rizzo did not get Greinke. September 15, 2011 11:08 PM ________________________________ If you are sure, I can go to sleep happy. Thanks.BTW, that isn't why Rizzo didn't get Greinke according to Greinke. Greinke said he wanted to go to a contender.
- Drew8 - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:23 AM
Gonat: I don't disagree. Rizzo couldn't sign Greinke so he couldn't make the deal.On another topic: Johnny Damon ties sweet swinging Billy Williams for 61st place at 2,711 hits.Williams will be the 106th current Hall of Famer that Damon has passed — so far.
- NatsLady - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:26 AM
Yeah, I saw when I did the game logs that Buerhle got lit in his first two September starts and asked was that an orange flag? So tonight makes three. Do we change the orange flag to red? September is both the best and the worst time to flame out. With expanded rosters you have options. But if you are in the hunt, you don't want to shut down a key member of the rotation…
- NatsLady - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:30 AM
And, if by some lucky chance, the Nats are in the hunt in 2012, we would already be shutting down Stras on an innings limit. So–? Buerhle, a September risk we would maybe not want to take?
- Drew8 - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:32 AM
Scooter:Thanks. Looks like I was wrong on Lombo. I had not seen the walk rate, which is better than I realized.Your research on walk rates shows that Upton has a chance to get on base even when he's slumping.
- Anonymous8 - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:38 AM
NatsLady/Gonat, I don't know enough about Buerle except to say his stock dropped. Is he injured? 30 days ago Buerle was looking like the answer to the middle of the Nats rotation.Can you strike lightning again with Jason Marquis? He did nothing but get the team behind him this year and win.
- NatsLady - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:45 AM
Watching SF game. Kung Fu Panda hit for the cycle. And Cody Ross got caught in a rundown and the Rockies couldn't tag him out. Strange game, the Giants have 8 runs.
- Scooter - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:03 AM
Drew8 said… Your research on walk rates shows that Upton has a chance to get on base even when he's slumping.Nah, you showed that already, just by quoting his stats. Dude's hitting .230some, I think you said, and his OBP is STILL above league average.(I'm not wading into that particular morass. For me, Upton falls into the category of "No need to pre-act to something that hasn't happened." I can see why the team would do it; not sure whether I would; no point getting worked up about speculation.)Captcha: hityphic – another way to get on base, as Espinosa ably demonstrates
- Scooter - Sep 16, 2011 at 5:09 AM
Hey, I've got another cookie for you, Drew. I see that you're on about Johnny Damon again, I think because you're concerned he'll get into the Hall of Fame, if memory serves. I remembered something Joe Posnanski wrote earlier this year, and I thought you might get a bang out of it:Until 1991, every single player with 400 homers was inducted into the Hall of Fame. This caused a now-funny bit of Millennium Bug panic when Dave Kingman hit his 400th homer. What would the vote[r]s do? Dave Kingman was clearly not a Hall of Famer. But he hit 400 home runs! What would the voters do?What the voters did was give Kingman exactly three votes. And from that point on, 400 homers was no longer a Hall of Fame standard.http://joeposnanski.blogspot.com/2011/01/trading-walks-for-hits.html
- baseballswami - Sep 16, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Re: Desi – if you get enough hits then you don't have to walk as much–and, if you hit well, then they will pitch you more carefully, too, maybe leading to more walks. My main concern in our 1 and 2 in the line up is their ambush type hitting – they just don't see enough pitches or let the guys in back of them see enough pitches. I think both Desi and Ankiel can be taught ( ordered?) to change their approaches at least some. Maybe not Ankiel anymore, though, who could move farther down in the lineup if someone else could be a better number 2.
- natsfan1a - Sep 16, 2011 at 11:23 AM
I love the smell of Schadenfreude in the morning. More from Collins, as told to Ladson.Mets manager Terry Collins would like to see his club finish ahead of the Nats in the division.[The Nationals] are playing for the exact same thing we are, and that's pride," Collins said. "That's a place in the standings that when you walk away you'll be proud. They're playing for exactly the same things. So yes, I've been proud of the way this team has played all year long, but we're not done. We've got two weeks to go. And if we're going to fold it up, that tells me something. That tells me a lot about how it's going to be when it comes crunch time next year, when we are fighting for something."It obvious the Nationals are going beyond playing for pride.
- natsfan1a - Sep 16, 2011 at 11:24 AM
Preach it, brother!Scooter said:(I'm not wading into that particular morass. For me, Upton falls into the category of "No need to pre-act to something that hasn't happened." I can see why the team would do it; not sure whether I would; no point getting worked up about speculation.)
- Drew8 - Sep 16, 2011 at 12:55 PM
Scoot:I don't think Johnny Damon is a Hall of Famer at 2,711 hits. I'm just saying: Holy cow, Johnny Damon is coming up on the outside.If he can land a starting job for two more seasons — no sure thing — he'll have 3,000 hits and he'll be a Hall of Famer.
- Scooter - Sep 16, 2011 at 2:25 PM
But that's my point, Drew: having 3,000 hits doesn't make him a Hall of Famer. It makes him a guy with 3,000 hits (which is very impressive).You know, I may be mis-remembering, and you weren't the one talking about how weird was the idea of Johnny Damon, Hall of Famer. If so, my point is kind of … well … pointless, and I should just move on.

What Will Hope do for Science Fiction?
From the blog:
In my 32 years Ive not seen anything like the current atmosphere here in the US and even the rest of the world. The best single word for it seems to be HOPE. Late Tuesday night after the election results confirmed Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States of America the scene was simply amazing. Spontaneous celebrations erupted around the country. People celebrated from the White House to Times Square and even here in the relatively small city of Flagstaff, Arizona, people drove around honking car horns, screaming for joy and celebrations erupted in downtown. The next day came as a daze of I cant believe it really happened and millions felt a true hope for the future of our country that has been missing.
Now, Im much more of a realist than an idealist and I fully realize that the US is still a very divided country. However, this is nothing like any election Ive experienced in my lifetime and the hope that those I know and that I feel myself cannot be denied. It seems much of the world feels the same way.
In this post-9-11 world things have changed. This change is reflected in all walks of life and science fiction has certainly embraced the reality. Look at everything from Ken Macleods The Execution Channel to Cowboy Angels by Paul McAuley and from Cory Doctorows Little Brother to David J. Williams Mirrored Heavens. Science Fiction writers have taken stock of the world and look toward an ominous future.
So, I ask does the election of Barack Obama change the game. Will Obama really change things or will he be more of the same for the US and the world? How will science fiction writers address the hope that permeates much of the world at least temporarily?
I really am curious to hear from readers, writers, editors, and others. I suspect that any change will be some time in coming, less than hoped for, and that its too premature to see how science fiction will react, if it reacts at all. But, I still feel that hope and it cannot be denied.
November 6th, 2008, 02:19 PM #2
Disclaimer: I am not an Obama supporter.
Honestly, I think Obama was/is more rhetoric than action. That is supported by his track record or lack thereof. His vision is grandiose and mainly fluff. I hope, however, to be proven wrong.
I will consider his presidency a success if he accomplishes just one thing: to bring the black population of America out of its apathy, culture of blame & hate and irresponsibility.
As for science fiction or even just fiction in general, I think that they reflect the attitude and emotions of the time. I haven't personally noticed that SF has been more bleak than in previous times. I think that heavier topics are taken on nowdays and I also think that there is more acceptance for a non-traditional happy ending type story.

position: European
thus I'm looking at the Obama's election from a far and somewhat cold point of view
I (but not only, discussions pop up in the forum I frequent more) say: ok, great, but now let's see what will really go on...
positive pushing for SF?
some days ago my friends had a debat about this http://strangeandhappy.com/2008/09/2...ion-manifesto/
so the topic is felt
but not by the writers, apparently
eventually, I don't mind about happy ending or new hopes, just want good SF, preferably not in the form of saga (kinda soap operas, IMO)

It's an interesting post though I think that a lot of the Hope thingy is based on misguided panic that Bush/Cheney/Rove/... were going to hijack the democracy, that people were not going to vote for an African American and similar ridiculous stuff. I expected an Obama blowout since he got nominated and was sure of it since the financial crisis.
I used to like all 3 major party candidates, Hillary - she is my senator and I voted for her in 06 -, Obama and McCain, but in front of the Obama phenomenon, both Hillary and McCain conducted abominable smear, very little substance campaigns and I got disgusted profoundly with both and with Bill Clinton who was my favorite President peccadilloes and all until now, so I voted for Obama without hesitation and I am profoundly happy the Republican Party got the spanking it deserved for 8 years of misgovernment, or for purists out there 6 years of misgovernment and 2 of stonewalling.
This being said, I am a bit on the cynical side regarding expecting big things from President Obama, but even if he does little things like throwing out the Bush era incompetent or corrupt people, allows science to decide where medicine goes and not ideology, mends relation with our allies and so on and it will be a huge improvement on the Bush years.
Regarding sf, I do not think the election itself will have much of an impact immediately since for once there is quite a lag between writing novels and publishing them and for another I think that there won't be major discontinuities with the past. I mean Bush was bad, but still US was a democracy, people voted... it's not that we move from a totalitarian regime to a democratic one...
Science, technology and their impact on society drive sf more than politics these days

We're not a political site, and we've often found that such passion can lead to issues, but I think we're using it rationally here: well done all.
To depoliticise it a little, though Obama seems to be a motivating cause at the moment (and let's all hope, regardless of political persuasion or creed, that the rhetoric is met by positive action) the question is: what would any genre do given a more positive, more optimistic point of view?
To think further perhaps we need to reflect on previous practice a little. SF has always, in its early days, reflected the opportunity of ideas. In the 1950's & 60s, certainly in the UK and the US, there were lots of Sf books pointing out the new frontier and that the way to progress and future enlightenment was through new ideas and new discovery. (Admittedly we also had our share of fears: alien invasion, human mismanagement and nuclear holocaust, for example) but there was a time when the future possibilities seemed infinite and optimistic. Arthur C Clarke is my most obvious thought here.
So will we see a return to such a bright undiscovered future?
In the mean time our hopes have been unrealised, our chances missed or messed up. The world today is a much more cynical and disillusioned one.
Whilst we hope for the future we also hear 'credit crunch' - a phrase which, at least here in the UK, I hear more than once, every day at the moment.
How can this be reflected in SF?
We have cynical SF:technology gone wrong, misused or misplaced. We also have an SF with grand plans but limited funding. We have SF that has lost that idealistic sense of wonder to be replaced with tedium and the reality that space exploration/travel can/will be dull and beyond the reach of most earthbound humans.
The question I believe we're thinking of here is whether renewed hope can change that.
And it's not an easy one. There is so much negativity to change, but perhaps we could see a lot more outward looking SF where the optimism of the human spirit is equally met by an equally possible action.
But, hand on heart, as much as I would like to see it, personally I'm not sure that there will be much change: at least to start with. Obama has admitted himself that the road will be long, the climb will be steep and it may take more than one term of office.
So, sitting on the fence at the end of a lengthy post, I think it will depend on what actually happens to justify this optimism that will make a difference.

From a somewhat anachronistic perspective science fiction seemed to become more darker and pessimistic in the 70s. I have a tendency to think of the turning point as Joe Haldeman's The Forever War but I really didn't notice it at the time it is only in looking back. The 50s and 60s just had a more optimistic outlook about the future even with the cold war thing going.
Like the difference between ST:TNG and ST;DS9.
Oh no, another Black guy.
I think we will have somewhat of an Obama effect almost regardless of how he does as president. The BIG PROBLEM is the economy but no one can really blame him for that. Professional economists were saying it is the worst thing since the Depression before he won. So even with that how bad can he look after GWB. I voted against that idiot twice and I thought it was obvious he was an idiot in 1999.
Wait a minute? This is a science fiction movie.
I just now thought of that. An asteroid is going to hit the planet. It's the end of the world.
Run for your lives. Oh, there's nowhere to run.
A Black president 10 years after a movie with a Black president. 11 years?
Curiouser and curiouser.

I'm an American and 9/11 was one of the worst days in my life and will haunt me for the rest of my life. But...other countries have had it far worse and far more horrible than we have. For the U.S., 9/11 was ground-changing -- and created a reactionary viewpoint that caused great damage the world over for seven years -- but it could be argued that there really isn't a post-9/11 world for the rest of the world -- that 9/11 was one major incident among many, before and after it, that the global society is having to deal with, as well as the economic crises that have occurred because all our countries are linked (though they often refuse to act like they know this.)
Now, since the U.S. is the heart of SFF fiction -- not the epitome, just the largest market -- it could be argued that 9/11 has had a big impact on SF. But I don't really think so, because SF has been imagining 9/11 and a thousand other scenarios, both apocalyptic and ones of salvation, since the beginning. For me SF has always been both optimistic and pessimistic about the future, near and far. They are different types of stories -- what if there was a disaster (asteroid) and it was averted? What if it was only partially averted and some people sacrificed their lives? What if it was not averted and the Earth was plunged into destruction? What if the apocalypse of the asteroid came, destroyed the Earth, but two hundred years later, a new human society emerged, ignorant of most of its past, discovering things in the ruins, and changed at the genetic level? What if the asteroid destroyed Earth and humans died off but various species of rodents grew larger, and became sentinent beings? Etc.
SF authors will always try out new visions like my teenage daughter tries on tops. Which is why I think people who insist that SF should stick to this or that branch of science, or stick to the near future or the far future, or only the future, and so on, are missing the point. It's never one type of story, because there's always going to be someone who takes up the counterpoint -- what if it went this way instead.
So, yes, there will probably be some interesting stories, especially in quicker to respond short fiction, about how world demographics will change, about peace in the Middle East, and saving parts of the planet environmentally, etc. (Hello fusion stories!) But there will also be more stories based on things like Britain now monitoring citizens' emails and phone calls and watching them with cameras, totalitarian religious dystopias, the death of the oceans, and all the rest. They always do both, no matter whether the economic situation is good or bad.

Good responses - I didn't intend for it to be a discussion of political idealogies and such, and it hasn't crossed that line, which is good.
I think Kat really nails it. I think that the bigger impacts will be in short fiction and near-future SF. I think in the last few years near-future SF has been trending toward visions of an American police state and even American fascism. There are quite a few visions of a divided America breaking apart, and racial tensions often factor in heavily. I see this focus shifting as a result. I think we'll likely find more focus on corporate bad guys and the like. As for the long-view, I don't see it changing much at all.

The Empire State Building was completed 70 years before the destruction of the towers but the physics of skyscrapers didn't change in that time. It is laughable that we don't have a table specifying the TONS of STEEL and TONS of CONCRETE on every level of the buildings. Science fiction readers don't know conservation of momentum and damped oscillation, JEEZUS.
I am currently listening the the audio book SPACE TUG by Murray Leinster. It is from 1953 and the crude and blatant sexism is hysterically funny. But he does integrate Newtonian Physics into the story. This modern stuff about artificial intelligence and nano-technology that never even explains artificial intelligence and nano-technology would not help anyone understand if the WTC collapse was possible.
The Xendi attack on Earth in Star Trek: Enterprise where Tucker's sister was killed was too obviously similar to 9/11. It pissed me off and I stopped watching the show. It doesn't annoy me as much now and I'll watch it but I can't help wondering what they were thinking at the time.
Skyscraper physics is never going to change and this will involve science and engineering education in this country ad nauseum. I suppose it won't matter to sci-fi that doesn't have REAL SCIENCE.
So what good are politicians that can't understand simple physics. They are HOPELESS! Listening to politicians is just a boring annoyance. I'm supposed to worry about General Motors when I haven't been to an auto show in 30+ years? Changing the design of cars is like teenage girls changing tops, but too expensive to be interesting. This $40,000 junk looks different from last years $35,000 junk. HOW EXCITING!

Reposting from kcf's blog as I thought it was a good point:
The atmosphere in the US does seem somewhat analogous with what we in the UK experienced in 1997 when New Labour came into power after 18 years of Conservative mis-management. The hope and expectation of change was quite palpable. Whilst he'd been writing before, it was during this period that Peter F. Hamilton, arguably British SF's most optimistic figure aside from Banks, became the UK's biggest-selling SF author, so perhaps there is something to that argument.
However, it was also during this time that the much darker and more cynical Reynolds and Morgan rose to fame, so I am dubious about the correlation working for long. Also, the 1997 boom in the UK was also linked to a moment in history when we were producing excellent films, music and literature all at the same time and everything in general seemed great, whilst the economy was booming like it never had before. None of those other things are happening in the USA at this time.
I'd say that any boom of optimism related to Obama's election will not be long-lived. Even if he excels as President and guides the country out of its current troubles, it won't happen overnight and there will be some rough bumps along the way which may cause some to lose faith. That may be reflected in the type of books that are written.
Considering the situation I don't think I can even communicate how BIZARRE I consider this to be. I thought about the destruction of the twin towers for two weeks after 9/11 and concluded there was no way a normal airliner could cause what we saw.

Why is this not in a politics sub-forum that I can avoid?
What will hope do? Hope will raise will my taxes. I'll have less disposable income. I'll buy less books.

At the moment the posts are not overtly political. But there is a feeling that political change will cause genre change, as SF mirrors the real world. Werthead has already mentioned the Hamilton effect in the UK, and the corresponding backlash. Could it happen in the US?
There's already a genre film being filmed for release in 2009 with a black President. It's clear the election will have an influence. What we're looking at here is whether that will continue in the genre.
So, that's why it's here and its appropriate. Don't feel you have to say anything though, if you don't want to. There's a few other hundred threads that are not political.

Psikey, usually I can follow what you're saying, but the last post you did, I had some problems, mainly in trying to figure out what part of my post you were specifically objecting to and arguing against.
I'm saying that in order for us to be a post-9/11 world, 9/11 would have had to have significantly changed the whole world, creating an age of pessimism and bleakness, and I'm not sure that it did so, as horrible and devastating as it was for me and other Americans, and as horrifying as others in other countries felt it to be, and as much as it showed us that America was as vulnerable as any place else. Europe, the Middle East, etc. had experienced a lot of terrorism before 9/11, with some devastating losses, there are mass genocides in Africa, plenty of wars, etc. So while there is for the U.S. a pre-9/11 world and a post-9/11 world, I'm not sure it's fair to be so egocentric as to claim that this is the same experience for the whole world, for British SFF writers and so on. Except maybe in the area of continued air travel restrictions. (I'm not even touching the conspiracy issue.)
By branch of science, I meant that there are some fans who feel all SF should be about physics and never about biology or computers. Some fans feel all SF should be near future, never more than 50 years away. Some fans feel a sociological story about scientists on a moon base is unacceptable as SF, and you may be one of them. But my point is that SF authors are going to keep writing those stories anyway, looking at how scientific changes can effect things in one direction or another, tragically, satirically and hopeful. So there isn't going to be one direction in which all SF goes -- all hopeful or all cynical.
I think SF writers do tend to be politically aware and interested in political scenarios in their writing. But SF was sort of ahead of the curve in having black Presidents and other "hope" ideas already.
On the other hand, there's definitely some interest in promoting optimistic SF. Solaris Books just announced an anthology of specifically near-future, optimistic SF called Shine, edited by the former editor of Interzone magazine, so international there. So we may see a spate of let's not have the asteroid destroy everything stories. Whether that will become a real movement, I don't know, but it won't be the only type of SF story out there.

Tuition agreement, replacing old buses big topics at Middleton school session Sat.
Friday, February 1, 2013
MIDDLETON — The school deliberative session will be held this Saturday and items up for discussion include whether the district should consider withdrawal from its current tuition agreement with Farmington and how to replace old school buses badly in need of repair.
Another hot topic to be deliberated this weekend will entail what to do about Middleton's troublesome buses, some of which have surpassed their life expectancy.
There will also be an election for two new school board members at this year's balloting session, for three-year terms, as well as elections for the position of moderator, town clerk and treasurer.

The purpose of this article is to discuss how to incorporate GPU accelerated effects into a project without negatively impacting the overall performance and framerate of a game. The key to making this work is to run all visual effects independently of the main game thread and rendering pipeline. While the concept is simple, as always, the devil is in the details and there are a lot of things to consider to make this work properly.

In the last OpenGL SDK post I introduced the new SDK, now let me introduce our first new sample, "Simple Tessellation Shader". As the name implies, it demonstrates the minimum parts necessary to use tessellation shaders in OpenGL. The sample only demonstrates tessellating the quad domain (rather than the triangular domain), and it shows two modes: one with a flat plane and one where the plane is wrapped into a torus.

I know this is in development, getting close to start of season, will we get the android app before it starts?
RealChappyPants May 05 '78
Because of the prevalence of Android, I think it's really sad that this isn't out there yet.
Our whole league used to Fleaflicker for both baseball and football. The other football league I'm in still uses Fleaflicker but is about to move, specifically because of this issue!
Fleaflicker used to be a trendsetter in many different areas, including live scoring and free customization. But now that a lot of platforms have moved that way, Fleaflicker has lost a lot of ground. It still has things that are unique and special to it. But not having the Android app is what finally pushed us back to Yahoo!
I'd love for nothing more than to come back... back to the fold!
FFCSR_Hal Admin May 06 '78
We hear you guys...
We are working on some intense mobile enhancements that will allow Fleaflicker to perform superbly well in the Android browser. It will give you a better experience than other fantasy websites that provide a standalone native Android App. We will eventually be converting the mobile enhancement that you will see in 2012 into our own standalone native Android App, but the app itself won't be ready for the 2012 season (but the mobile experience will be).
We are confident that the Fleaflicker experience in the Droid browser will be better than running it on an "app" from another site. Additionally, we will have an app rolled out soon for the Droid (a packaged version of the mobile experience you'll see in 2012) that will be better than other sites and will not need to continually be updated or buggy like other fantasy sites. We are diehard fans like you and realize that a Droid app and a killer mobile experience is what our users want; that's what our programmer is currently working on and you will not be disappointed. We appreciate your patience and we are confident it will definitely pay off.
We'll keep you updated as always.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.
GoF_ckYo_rself May 07 '78
This is a very simplistic site. that's why I love it so much. Creating an app out of an existing website is stunningly easy. All the data tables for users/leagues/teams/players are all ready there. Plus it would free up bandwidth which ,as was made quite evident last year, this site is woefully lacking. How have you not put something together when users have been screaming for this for at least a year!?
PeterDrucker May 24 '78
Still waiting...
PeterDrucker May 29 '78
yes it does. its a shame how bad they are lagging their competition.
RealChappyPants Jun 07 '78
Again, it was a trendsetter at one time.

We just made our decisions for baseball. We will NOT be doing it on here, unfortunately, but will make a move :(.

over 800 reviews
We are thrilled
"I never thought that I'd buy an appliance from a dealer 900 mikes away, but it looks like I am in good company! I first saw your store in person, since my son and his family live only two mikes away from your store. And then I found you online when I was trying to compare brands and features of a high-end under counter ice maker. We are thrilled. And your salesperson helped me compare various features to get just the right one. It arrived in perfect condition. We are delighted and will definitely be shopping for other appliances as needed, especially since we saved almost 20%!! Great concept and good people to do business with. Thanks!"
Excellent buying experience
"I really liked my experience with your company. 1. Your price was very competitive with other companies locally and on line. 2. Free shipping to my front door. 3. Ability to track my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. 4. Excellent customer service even during the New Year holiday. Called back with updated delivery. 5. Excellent buying experience."
