What good is talent to a fantasy owner who lacks timing?
Fantasy baseball—just like the real thing—is a game of skill, luck and timing. That last trait, in particular, comes in handy in regards to getting value in the trading game.
Knowing which player(s) to trade away and which to deal for—and knowing just the right time to do so—can make all the difference.
After all, it doesn't get much better than making a move to unload a hot flavor-of-the-week type who's about to cool off in exchange for a slumping stud who's ready to take off.
Now, speaking of timing, let's get to some players to sell high and buy low.
Statistics come from Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, except where otherwise noted.

Textbooks and Other Required Materials:
Gloria K. Fiero, THE HUMANISTIC TRADITION: BOOK 4 & 5 Volume 6, 6th edition, McGraw Hill;
Supplementary readings that will be posted online.
This course will be conducted entirely online. This means that you MUST be generally computer-literate. You must have constant access to a computer. You must be able to do general word processing, and you must be confident surfing the internet. Loss of internet or computer problems are not legitimate excuses for missed work or participation. I recommend that you immediately identify a place where you can reach a back-up computer to complete your weekly work (a local library or at BUCKS). If you are uncertain about your computer competence or access, you should NOT take this course.
If have AOL you will need to use another browser once you are online. To get the latest versions of common browsers, go to NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR or MOZILLA FOXFIRE on the web.
This is not a self-paced independent study. While we will not see each other in person, this course will run on the same principles of a traditional college class. You will need to keep up with weekly readings and post discussions on the discussion thread on the day and time frame indicated (usually Wednesday evening of each week by 9:00 pm). You will gain credit for initial discussion posts submitted after the weekly deadline. In fact, all assignments will be due on the day assigned. Late assignments will suffer 1/2 grade deductions for each day after the due date (same as my face2face courses). Please see information below for course specifics.
This is one of the most important parts of your course: weekly reading. Most of the readings will come from the Fiero text,THE HUMANISTIC TRADITION: BOOKS 4 & 5 and online materials. It is imperative that you read carefully and use these readings in online discussions, essays, and exams.
Participation in online discussions is required of everyone. Your Participation/Discussion grade will be based on the quality of your participation.
WARNING: It is imperative that you participate weekly in the discussion threads. Students who miss SEVEN or more discussion threads will receive an F for the course.
THE SCIENTIFIC/PHILOSOPHICAL REVOLUTION. You must write a three-four paged (double-spaced,Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, at least one inch margins, Microsoft Word Document) research analysis of a figure who contributed to the Scientific Revolution and/or the Enlightenment . I will assign each student a figure and a question about that figure three weeks prior to the assignment due date. This paper will require research and original analysis.
CULTURAL FIELD TRIP RESEARCH PAPER. You must write a five-six paged, (double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, at least one inch margins Microsoft Word document) research paper using your "live" experience in a local museum, theater, music performance, or other cultural event relevant to our period of study (1600s-1800s). You must use your visit to the cultural event as research source material along with traditional library and internet research materials. The paper must include parenthetical citations (MLA style)and a works cited page. Because this paper should represent your own thoughts and observations, you may not use museum web sites to write the essay. And, of course, all BCCC rules and regulations regarding plagiarism apply.
WARNING: In order to receive full credit for this project, you must be able to get a paper copy of your research essay to me, along with attached proof of attendance by the due date indicated in the learning modules. You may drop it off at my office, or the history dept. office, or send it via snail mail. IF YOU CANNOT DO THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!

Definitely a weak week for everyone. Mandisa and Kelly I thought were the best. Taylor was weak but I can't help but smile when he performs. Katherine wasn't great either.
Bottom three for me Kevin (please go home), Lisa and even though I like him Bucky.
I am tiring of Paris as well, she hasn't empressed me for several weeks.

Why Must We Euthanize, Part II
PLEASE NOTE: There's a picture below that is very disturbing, but for people who are concerned about animal suffering and homelessness, it's important to face the tragic reality of the overpopulation crisis and its consequences. Animals can't afford to have people look away.
Her name was Big Girl, but there was almost nothing left of her. She was so still, so slight, and so cold to the touch that field workers thought that she was already dead. But the tiny 6-month-old pit bull was still alive. Barely.
Big Girl never knew the love and care that we wish every dog experienced; by the time we arrived, she had endured prolonged, incomprehensible agony. When we found her collapsed on the ground, she weighed less than the chain she was tied to. She had clearly been starved—she was a pile of bones and had raw, mostly hairless skin with absolutely no body fat. A veterinarian later told us that Big Girl's stomach contained nothing but dirt, leaves, a piece of corn cob with two kernels on it, and a piece of dry, caked fecal matter. Big Girl had been left to suffer for so long that she had begun to decompose. Four different generations of maggots were eating away at her body. When we gently peeled her off the ground, she moaned. She could not see us or hear us, but we hope she knew that we were there to help her.
We sent Big Girl off to heaven with kind words and a gentle lethal injection. We wished we could have ended her misery much, much sooner. Those who condemn open-admission animal shelters and organizations like PETA for having to euthanize sick, injured, dying, and unwanted animals must look closely at the source of the overpopulation crisis—people who breed animals, those who neglect and abuse them, and consumers who choose to buy animals from breeders and pet shops instead of adopting from their local animal shelter.
No one hates the ugly reality of euthanasia more than the shelter workers who hold the syringe. Sometimes, especially when animals have known no kindness and are suffering, the best that we can offer an animal like Big Girl, Asia, and others is a painless and dignified release from a world that showed them no love or compassion.
P.S. The man responsible for Big Girl's horrific condition (as well as that of another dog, who suffered from a vaginal prolapse) was charged and convicted for the condition of both dogs, and he was prohibited from owning animals.

I am in tears and heartbroken. I cannot begin to imagine what this beautiful girl went through. I just dont understand people who do things like this to innocent defenceless animals. All they want is love and they give it back tenfold. Please tell me the subhuman piece of shit has been caught and is in jail. This is a major criminal offence.
This has broke my heart made me cry could feel all the suffering of this beautiful dog I'm so glad he knew sombody loved him before he died, how many are out there they we don't know about these people need punished put in prision &alwYs on a registered animal abuser list &to be checked on this can't &should never happen again
I am in tears. When I read of this…. dirt, two kernels and leaves :(((( omg who would do such a thing. I couldn't imaghine. As I love My Dogs SOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!! R.I.P Big Girl.
tears streaming down my face, may she rest now R.I.P big girl.
the judge must have been sleeping when they showed the picture of BIG GIRL or he would have put him away for life.If that would of been a human he would of got life and we all know that we think of our pets as humans.That is disqusting to know that theres that kind of people on this earth ,that can do somthing like that to an animal.I think the judge should get the book thrown at him.
Poor girl, it is an horrible story, her poor body made me cry for the many horrible things human can do. RIP
I cried when when I read this story about big girl. the people who left her like this is heartless
I found the story of Big Girl while researching an essay on animal rights and abuse. Before reading the full story I clinged to the hope that Big Girl how somehow survived. It is taking awhile to come to the conclusion that Big girl is in a better place and free from pain enjoying the life she should have experienced here on earth. I rescued a pit bull mix from a life of I don't know what…Now everytime I look into his big brown eyes and give him a rub…I'll be giving one to Big Girl, too.
Rest in peace Big Girl. At least now she is finally free from pain.
If people have an issue with euthanizing healthy, yet homeless animals, then go adopt. Pressure your friends and neighbours into sterilizing their companion animals. Boycott breeders. Until the pet overpopulation issue is resolved, healthy animals will need to be euthanized. Reducing the pet population will also reduce the number of animals being abused. Abusers can't abuse an animal that has never been born, can they? To those who like to complain, since you obviously have the answer, solve the problem.
Rest in peace little one,,,
Oh this is so terrible I cannot stop crying for all animals and especially those who never had love!!! OMG!!! How can this be??? We need legislation for animals that equals those for humans, NOW!!! How can this happen?? Who are thses 'people'?? My soul and heart are broken…
This is so tragic and dispicable my very soul cries in outrage!! I cry for all animals that have experienced anything less than being loved dearly!! I cannot write more because I am so upset!!! But this 'man' should be starved and worse!!!
Okay, so you've clearly covered the issue of euthanizing as to give mercy and peace to animals that are suffering and beyond help.
But what about animals euthanized because they're perfectly healthy but just can't find a good home?
I don't think that part is right. I think they should just be kept at the shelter or else let go in the wild–at least then they have a chance at making it in the world somewhere on their own, if they're careful.
And if they don't make it then natural selection will control the population.
We need to do away with the NEEDLESS killing and PETA shouldn't be supporting it.
And I'm a vegan/animal rights activist/supporter of PETA. So please don't disregard me.
Please, tell me where this occurred, and who was the man responsible. I know that the court case would be of public record… thank you.
i have cried for days after finding big girl what she must have sufferedbut putting her to sleep was the best option she had suffered enoughi am definately more for animals than people they can rot in hell where i hope big girls owner goes he should suffer the same treatment as big girl let to starve and rot i urge every one to support peta and their local shelters we are the voice of the animals and they must be heard!!!!!!!!
I am unable to write much at this time because I can't STOP crying after seeing this picture!!! The person responsible for this MUST be punished and suffer just as this POOR animal did!!! Horrifying!!!!!
I am really disgusted by the comments on herewhere people are angry about PETA shelters euthanizing wonderful animalssimply because there are no homes for them. BE MAD AT THE BREEDERS PET SHOPS etc. NOT PETA or the shelters that MUST euthanize because there aren't enough homes out there. I am sure post complaining only have 1 or 2 dogs if that.
It's a sin the way we treat our animals. WE MUST have spayneuter in all communities. We must also use humane euthanasia to set suffering animals free. God bless all the animals and those who love them.
I have run into far too many of the PETAkills.com crowd lately. I volunteered for several years at a nokill shelter and while we had great adoption numbers I still had to personally turn away animals brought to us every day because of spacemoney issues. The fates of most of these are unknown though we were forced to take many more than we could handle because people would simply release their animals as strays in our parking lot and alleys.
I once had a neighbor who neglected her cat. The sweet cat got sores on her mouth so I took her in until I could find a home for her. I tried shelters in my state and a neighboring state. They all said the same two things. Either they had no room or they would euthanize because she was sick. When I questioned why euthanize what if it was something minor they still stood by their euthanizing. Luckily the cat had an angel who paid for vet expenses and I was able to keep her. If I hadn't been persistent the illness that she would have been euthanized over…..was malnutrition. Less than 10 minutes in the vet's office to figure that out and all shelters including nokill shelters would have killed her. I agree with euthanizing animals who are truly suffering but that should be the only time. I never wanted a cat for a pet but I have now taken in my second cat that was abandoned. I cannot see sending an animal to be killed just because someone didn't want it there will be someone else who does.
Oh my lord. This is absolutely terrible. I had to scoop up my doggies and snuggle them as soon as i finished reading this. Im happy this man was punished but in my opinion he should be left to starve and decompose himself.
This is so awful the picture of BIg Girl can anyone provide me with information of who this indvidual is and what state did this take place and what happened to the other dog heshe had and did he serve any time in jail at all and what can we do to make tougher laws for animal abusers?? I really can't stop crying or looking at BIg Girl's picture. Will someone please answer my questions thank you.
you should have fed the owner to the dog! that would have made Big Girl gain some weight! it would have also been karma!
Oh My God! That poor dog was left out all by herself starved and all! That really made me sick looking at that picture. I dont exactly know what Euthanasia means but I believe that it is the injection neardead animals are given? I cant believe the man who let her get like this is even allowed to live! I believe that animals are next to us not below us on the 'food chain'. Yes we have technology but animals have adaptations that make them very much more dangerous than us! Eg spiders venom eg Crocodiles Long jaws eg Sharks replacable teeth. I bet the man who did this to that poor puppy doesnt give a stuff about animals! THEY HAVE FEELINGS TOO im 14
I'm very sad about the little dogy.Big girl who has come to this world has faced a very sad and painful ending becoz of the ignorance of the person who has tied the dog.i strongly feel such persons are big disgrace on this earth and a menace to this society.Let us all join together and flush away such kind of people from the society.Love u big girl hope ur sole rest in peace
i had to get my dog put down a few weeks ago and it broke my heart but she was in so much pain it would have been crule to make her live like that. it was the last gift i could give her to end her pain.
When I saw the picture of Big Girl I believed she had been burned in a fire. To witness the result of such cruelty is painful. My heart bleeds for pets and children alike who suffer at the merciless hands of their offenders. I am a Christian and shouldn't say this but the pain I feel for what poor Big Girl and others like her have endured cannot be described. I would no difficulty exacting justice on her owner. This makes me want to work harder to continue supporting groups like Peta and my local animal shelter. I'm sad she wasn't found earlier but glad she's how resting in peace pain free with a full belly. God bless her! We need stricter laws and deterents for irresponsible breeders pet stores pet owners farmers and animal abusers.
The man responsible for Big Girl's horrific condition SHOULD HAVE THE SAME END. I CAN'T STAND SUCH EVENTS.
I myself own a pit bull cross he is a much loved family member however if he were in pain and there was no way to treat him i would allow him to be euthanazed. It is inhumane and cruel to let animals suffer however if we can help animals to end their suffering why are humans an exception? If someone you loved and cared for was in pain with no way to help them why let them live through the agony animals and people should have the same rights within species boundries i think that anyone who campaigns against the euthanazier of animals is a cruel heartless person whether they believe that they are doing the right thing or not i would like to see what they would choose life in pain that can not be treated until death or a painless peaceful way to end the suffering? In the end we all have our own opinions I am just sharing mine.
On May 14 Alison wrote "This is absolutely evil and heartbreaking. I have cried and cried for big girl. I am however very surprised and upset with PETA for euthanizing her. We have absolutely no right to take any life and her life was no exception. Why was she not put on intravenous pain meds antibiotics fluids and nutrients etc? If she was sedated while this was happening she could have recovered and been given a chance at lifewhich was her right. If she passed away in the meantime then all that could have been done was done and she would have at least been given a chance and pain relief. If this was a human there would be no question of trying to save them and all measures wouls have been taken. Any mention of euthanasia would be classed as murder. There is no difference here. It is murder and a copout an easy solution to a problem you didn't want to deal with. Just because there are so many other unwanted animals doesn't mean big girl was of less importance. I am a huge supporter of PETA and never thought you would do such a thing. I thought you were the only organisation that went to any extreme to save every animal but I guess I was wrong. I am deeply disgusted by this. I also want to know whether the evil piece of crap that did this to her was put behind bars as this is what would happened if it had been a human. Also how on earth can you enforce a prohibition to own animals? This person deserves life in prison better still they should suffer the same cruelty big girl did except with out the lethal injection. To all of you who agree that this is the 'kind' and 'the only option' WAKE UP TO YOURSELVES!! If it was your mother or father friend sister brother or especially if this was your child there is no way you would give up on them and not give them a chance by murdering them. I am all for the right to die if one chooses to but since I'm positive dogs can't speak and make a concious decision 'yes please I would like to die now' IT'S MURDER!! This completely contradicts what I thought was the philosophy of PETA that every creature is equal? I must have been mistaken." Alison your position is insane. Leaving a dog or a human in my opinion in this condition is nothing less than cruelty and I sincerely hope no animal ever has to rely on you to make a decision to end her or his suffering. Wow. I always knew slowkill supporters can be pretty out there but this takes the cake.
I have looked at the picture of Big Girl and am crying as I write this. I just can't understand how socalled civilised people can be so cruel. I do however believe that some people are so ignorant that they believe animals have no feelings. I watched the download of fur farm where Chinese men are skinning dogs and other animals alive and talking and laughing as they do this. These are truly evil times and I like one of your other commentators can not believe in God.
What can I say? I have just seen the picture of Big Girl. I support you and your work with all my heart and from the depths of it.
Rest in heart sweetheart may your tail wag repeatedly and may you eat and drink till you are full your in Heaven now and nothing or nobody can hurt you anymore.
I believe they do what they can for animals that they can save. Others it is impossible as it is with some humans who are sick but as humans we dont get the choice to end our suffering because we cannot legally end our lives. A few years ago I had to make the very difficult choice of ending the life of my sweet very sick cat after the vet told me there was little they could do. He never recommended euthanasia and let me make that decision. It is never easy to take the life of a loved pet or an animal. I feel bad when my cats kill mice in my house but that is nature. Animal abuse will always be around but many organizations such as Peta and many wonderful nokill shelters try to save as many lives as they can but time money and room are limited and it is unfortunate that not all can be saved. Saying that I believe we as a society through educational programs such on Animal Planet and through campaigns such as the ones Peta emails along with nokills shelters ASPCA and the humane society have cut down abuse. We must all do our share by reporting and contributing as much as we can to the originations of our choice to save animals from abuse and taking care of the ones there is no hope. No living thing should suffer. Ending the suffering is the humane thing to do.
kelly How do fast food companies lobbist connect to 'breeders'. Exactly what are you saying? 'Breeders' does not mean anything. Are you saying all people who breed an animal are conspiring against PETA? When did nokill shelters and breeders get together? Maybe you are over reaching just a little to make your point which is?
Thank you Paul for a great idea. It's just too bad our elected officials can't listen to people with good ideas. It's so much easier to put stupid shortsighted illconceived laws in place. Like let's spay and neuter every stray cat. I guess we want the rodent population out of control again. Your micro chip idea would work. We could have an "elite cat task force" which is tagged and allowed to go free for rodent control. I love it! They could easily identify the real strays from our rodent control task force. Also the people found guilty of animal abuse can also get "tagged" with a special electrical shock device that goes off when they approach an animal who is also tagged. They should be required to wear it somewhere in the groan region Multiple offences shocks leave them impotent. This is great!!
I was thinking about this and how we can make the laws better. How about something like this All animals need to be microchipped at source the breeder. The breeder is then responsible for that animal until someone adopts it. Then the breeder is responsible for registering the details of the new owner. If the animal is found to be stray then the last owner either breeder or new owner is responsible for financially supporting the animal in a NoKill shelter. There that way the shelter is not out of pocket and hopefully will make breeders think more about the over population. Or better still if the animal was adopted and is found stray then the owner and breeder share 5050 of the bills to put the animal in a nokill shelter. That would certainly make the breeders think when they are hit with loads of bills. Would hopefully make them think about who is adopting their animals and maybe even put them out of business for good.

Frederick DouglassAntislavery Activist / Orator
Born: 21 February 1818
Died: 20 February 1895 (heart attack)
Birthplace: Near Easton, Maryland
Best known as: Former slave turned anti-slavery leader
Name at birth: Frederick Augustus Washington BaileyFrederick Douglass was a former slave who became one of the great American anti-slavery leaders of the 1800s. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland but in 1838, at age 20, he escaped to freedom in New York. A few years later he went to work for abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, travelling and speaking on behalf of Garrison's paper The Liberator. Douglass published his memoir Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave in 1845. Eloquent, smart and determined, Douglass gained fame as a speaker, began his own anti-slavery publications and became a 'conductor' on the Underground Railroad. In later years he became a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln and helped persuade Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. He also was a strong supporter of women's rights. Douglass is often described as the founder of the American civil rights movement.
Extra credit:
After his escape from slavery, Frederick Douglass chose his new last name from a character in the Sir Walter Scott book The Lady of the Lake… Frederick Douglass married Anna Murray, a free black woman, shortly after his escape from slavery in 1838. They had four children: Rosetta (b. 1839), Lewis (b. 1840), Frederick Jr. (b. 1842) and Charles (b. 1844). Anna Douglass died in 1882, and two years later Douglass married Helen Pitts, a white woman who had been his secretary.

Over at the Kern Pastors Network, Owen Strachan uses the example of Quaker Oats founder Henry Parsons Crowell to demonstrate the level of stewardship Christians are called to.
Bringing his ingenuity and a variety of innovations to his company and the market at large, Crowell delivered value to his shareholders, employees, and customers. "But he didn't stop there," as Strachan notes, using the wealth he created not just to re-invest in material prosperity, but continuing to tithe around 70 percent of his earnings and invest in Christian education and missions.
Crowell "defied the way of the world," Strachan argues, and in doing so, he illustrated how Christians ought not be bound either by poverty theologies or prosperity gospels, convenient though either may be:
Henry Parsons Crowell made a lot of money, but he didn't make it for himself. He genuinely believed that he could serve God by using his entrepreneurial gifts to advance the gospel of Christ's kingdom. There was a marvelous synergy in his life, in other words. His brilliant marketing wasn't separate from his simple piety.
I want to be frank: some Christians might have a problem with all this talk about huge amounts of money. They might fundamentally distrust all money-making and embrace what's sometimes called "poverty theology." It's certainly good to be on the alert about the temptation of riches. The love of money really does stimulate all kinds of evil desires and actions (1 Timothy 6:10). And the Bible condemns lusting after poverty or riches (Proverbs 30:8). It's notable to us that Judas sold out Jesus not for fame and glory, but for a bag of money. What could be more evocative of the temptation of riches than that? (more…)

I was recently given a number of sample loose leaf packets of First Flush Darjeelings by a Japanese tea shop, Lupicia (lupiciausa.com)
I was told that as a fan of oolongs, I might also take right to darjeelings as they have many similarities.
I've brewed darjeeling twice now and drunk it from the Leland Tea Company as they've brewed it and I'm afraid I'm not seeing it.
I don't wish to insult anybody's choice of tea or love of darjeelings, just saying that when I've drunk it, I've personally found darjeelings to taste somewhat smoky, with a flavor I describe as "weedy"- dry and sort of flat, like a Nepal tea of indeterminate quality a friend once gave me.
I don't see the similarities to green tea or to oolong (at least, the floral light ones that I prefer) at all. The only oolong I've drunk that was similar is a several years-old bag of indeterminate origin that I got from a cool looking cardboard cannister that my mother had sitting on her desk. I naturally expect it's long past its prime.
I have tried brewing them between 3-5 minutes, with near-boiling water, around 200F. Should I be using a different temperature or steeping time?

2 games behind the 'Dream Team'
.5 Game ahead of the Sox.
I know it's incredibly early but I think it's warranted so I'll ask it anyway. Tribe Playoff worthy? Terrible first few games, but it appears they might be coming around. Will they be the first #2 Wild Card? Starting rotation I believe is worthy enough to get us there. Tribe batting? Getting there. Relief/Closers? Still have a lot to prove.

About the artist
While performing at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Swift caught the eye of music industry veteran Scott Borchetta, who signed her to his newly formed label. Swift joined the roster at Big Machine Records and released her debut single, "Tim McGraw," in August 2006. The song drew upon her experience as a lovelorn high-school student, a theme that Swift revisited throughout her self-titled debut album. Released in late 2006, Taylor Swift catapulted the young songwriter to stardom, spawned a handful of hits (five consecutive Top Ten singles, a new record for a female solo artist), and earned multi-platinum status. Swift also received a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, an award she ultimately lost to Amy Winehouse. Two subsequent EPs -- Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection and Beautiful Eyes -- helped maintain Swift's popularity while she worked on another album, which arrived in November 2008.
Swift's debut record made her a queen in the country world, but 2008's Fearless positioned her as the year's biggest star of "any" genre. The sophomore album went gold during its first week of release; combined with the sales of its predecessor, it also made Swift the highest-grossing artist of 2008. The accolades increased in 2009, when Fearless went multi-platinum and took home two ACM awards, five American Music Awards, five CMAs, two CMTs, and a controversial trophy at the MTV Video Music Awards (Kanye West infamously stormed the stage during Swift's acceptance speech to throw his support to Beyoncé, claiming she deserved the award instead). Meanwhile, "You Belong with Me" peaked at number two on the pop charts, officially cementing Swift's status as a crossover artist. By the time 2009 drew to a close, Fearless had sold nearly six million copies in America alone, making it the year's best-selling album.
Swift kicked off the new year by contributing two songs to the "Valentine's Day" soundtrack. She also made a cameo in the film, playing the high-school sweetheart of her real-life boyfriend, Taylor Lautner. Swift then focused her attention on wrapping up her third album, Speak Now, which she'd written entirely on her own throughout the two previous years. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and by August 2011 had sold over five and a half million copies worldwide; it would later win two Grammy Awards for its single "Mean." That same year, Swift released her first live album, World Tour Live: Speak Now.
Swift decided to turn her fourth album, Red, into something of a sonic departure, working with Max Martin -- best known for his collaborations with Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys -- for its lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Its pop sheen signaled a departure, as did the presence of such collaborators as Dan Wilson, Mark Foster, and Butch Walker. Red was released on October 22, 2012.

Entrepreneurs are a special breed – they see what could be and then put their heart and soul into making that happen. They are dreamers who use controlled risk to build their venture. In this article in Inc., Tom Asacker author of the book 'The Business of Belief,' talks about characteristics that he thinks great entrepreneurs share. They:
- Believe: Great entrepreneurs believe in themselves keep pushing to achieve their goals instead of going out and getting that 'safe' job.
- Empathize: Great entrepreneurs have the uncanny ability to see the world from the perspective of their customers.
- Observe: Great entrepreneurs are observers of human nature and human behavior.
- Obsess: Great entrepreneurs never rest on their laurels or think merely in terms of incremental improvement.
- Win: Great entrepreneurs have a laser focus on winning.

Shimano Dura-Ace PD-9000 Road PedalsMaking good better. The Shimano carbon-bodied Dura-Ace 7900 pedals were so highly rated that a redesign for a ostensibly better 9000 series pedal was a real challenge for Shimano designers. However, the Shimano Dura-Ace PD-9000 road pedals received a stunning cosmetic upgrade and in fact still guarantee that same reliable and efficient connection between you and the bike. An extra-wide platform that offers maximum power transfer and comfort, while wear-resistant top plates ensure durability.
The pedals feature a 3-bearing axle system and stainless steel body cover. They are SPD-SL 3-bolt SPD-SL style compatible and there are also two new cleats, both designed to eliminate lateral movement. The original cleats' toe section is slightly narrower than the front of the pedal cage, allowing them 1.5mm of float side to side. Combine that with the 3 degrees of rotational play allowed by the rear of the cleat, and you have a bit of movement. They weigh in at a mere 248 grams.
Shimano designs with the rider in mind. They utilize direct rider feedback which results in rider tuned ergonomics and function. That's why the all-new PD-9000 Shimano Dura-Ace pedals are not only improved but, designed just for you.

- Single-sided binding engagement with adjustable cleat tension

As an individual who seeks information to make important career and professional development decisions, you can find answers here to the most frequently asked questions about our school.
What is Wayland Baptist University?
Answer: Wayland Baptist University (WBU) is a four year academic university. It was established in Plainview, Texas, in l908 as a private liberal arts school. Today it is a private, church-related co-educational University that serves both a traditional and non-traditional student population. The University has extension campuses in Hawaii, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, and Alaska. Wayland Baptist University - Sierra Vista was established in 1997 on Fort Huachuca. Offices in downtown Sierra Vista opened in the summer of 2003 at 1840 Paseo San Luis. WBU still has an office at Fort Huachuca in the Rascon Learning Center.
Is Wayland Baptist University an accredited school?
Answer: Yes. WBU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia, 30033-4097: Telephone (404) 679-4501, to award Associate and Bachelor degrees. All professors possess an earned Masters degree or greater from a regionally accredited post-secondary institute.
What degrees does WBU/Anchorage offer and what majors are available in these degrees?
Answer: Wayland extension campuses offer two-degree types: an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS). The AAS is a two-year degree; the BAS is a four-year undergraduate degree. Click on AAS or BAS for more information.
Answer: A Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree is a fully accredited degree program designed for working adults. The degree program takes into consideration that working adults receive college level training and work experience in the work force. This Occupational Education (OE) portion of the degree title means that the adult student receives credit from work experience and training gained through business and industrial programs, military service schools, apprenticeship programs, on-the-job training, and other traditional and non-traditional learning experiences. Under the BAS degree program an individual can receive up to 12 college credit hours for 48 months of performance evaluated work experience. The total credit hours required for the BAS degree is 124 hours.
What is a degree completion program?
Answer: A degree completion program enables non-traditional students the opportunity to complete their degree while remaining in their present jobs. All college classes are offered in the evenings, weekends, or at noontime. In addition, the degree completion program is specifically tailored to take maximum advantage of an individual's previous academic and work achievements. The credits earned from previous colleges and work training, and work experience documents are complied for a student and applied to a student's specific degree plan. Sources of credit may also include military training, credits from technical and business schools, junior college course work, College Level Examination Placement (CLEP), Defense Academic Non-Traditional Education System (DANTES), ACT/PEP examinations, and other sources.
What is Wayland's religious affiliation?
Answer: WBU is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. The mission of the University is to provide liberal arts education within a Christian context. Wayland is not a Bible college. All students are welcome to attend, regardless of religious affiliation.
Who is a typical Sierra Vista Campus external degree-seeking student?
Answer: The typical Sierra Vista Campus student is a full-time working professional, in his/her mid-thirties. This typical student has completed approximately 30 semester hours of college courses and is seeking a BAS degree. In addition, about 80% of the Campus's student-population are on active duty or part-time duty status within the Armed Forces.
How can I receive an unofficial academic evaluation of my previous college course work, work training, and work experience?
Answer: At the Sierra Vista Campus main office located at Landmark Plaza, 400 W. Fry Blvd., Suite #14, Sierra Vista, an academic advisor will conduct a NO-COST unofficial academic evaluation. This unofficial evaluation helps the student determine the most appropriate degree. To assist the advisor, the student should bring to the evaluation copies of college transcripts, work-related training certificates, work performance evaluations, and credit-through-examination programs. An interested individual may come in, or call ahead for an appointment for a free-evaluation.

The Thursday of Holy Week (the week before Easter) has special meaning for Christians. Often referred to as Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday (from the Latin mandatum which means "command or instruction"), it is not a "holy day of obligation" for Roman Catholics but often includes a church service commemorating the Last Supper, the Passover meal Jesus shared with his disciples the night before he was crucified.

The events recorded in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 22, verses 19-20 — in which Jesus shares bread and wine with his disciplines — are said to be the liturgical basis for practicing communion. Many churches offer the Eucharist at a special mass on this day.

Some Roman Catholic priests will perform a rite of foot-washing to commemorate and reflect on Jesus' act of washing the feet of his twelve disciples. The Gospel of John (13: 1-7) describes this act as a service to others despite your social position, a willingness to be closer to your neighbor. Though normally the task of a servant, Jesus performs this task as the host, despite the protest of his disciples. In doing so he invites them into an intimate fellowship with him, and modeling the behavior he wishes to teach to all humanity:
"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them."

In England, a Royal Maundy Service is held on Holy Thursday. During the service, the king or queen gives Maundy money to his or her subjects — one coin for each man and woman equal of the royal's years of birth.

Chunky Tool Set for Toddlers

This was chosen with my 2-year-old son, Isaac, in mind - the little guy loves to "help" daddy put things together. The bright colors and soft, light chunky feel of each of the tools make this set attractive to little ones. They are easy for Isaac to grip and the screwgun makes a little noise when the trigger is squeezed which I thought was super cute!All of the pieces have held up well over the few months we've had them. We think this is a fun first tool set for toddlers and recommend it for boys and girls who are looking longingly at daddy's (or mommy's) tools and want to get building!
My son loves it!

This is a great playtime tool kit for Toddlers! The wide grip and soft plastic material makes it perfect for the younger kids. My son had a blast following Daddy around 'helping' him fix things around the house :-)
A Toy That Will Last

Both of my boys love this toy set. They now can run around fixing things just like Daddy. The toys are made out of a very sturdy plastic, so they last through a lot of beatings!!
Just Like Dad's (only better)
By Planet Weidknecht
from Pflugerville, Texas
Every toddler wants to be just like Daddy. Daddy can fix anything. Now toddlers can follow Daddy around and help him fix everything in the house. This New Sprouts Fix It! tool set is designed especially for little hands. Made of soft, durable plastic, your toddlers can pound and saw without driving Mom crazy with the noise. Learning Resources creates some of the most enticing and engaging educational toys for children and this new Fix It! tool set is no exception. The drill is especially exciting because a press of the button thrills toddlers with its sound. The tools are easy to hold and easy to use. Perfect also for special needs kids with limited hand dexterity. The easy to pack toolbox is easy to carry with its single handle, and there is no frustration putting the tools away because the open top means lids never get in the way. I showed this tool kit to my preschoolers and they immediately went to "work" in the classroom, drilling and hammering. The screwdriver has no sharp edges and my toddlers figured out there are screws on every table and chair in the room. Learning through play is the best way for children to experience the world around them. By emulating the jobs they see parents and adults doing, it helps teach them how the world works. It gives them a confident sense of empowerment when they can "be" Daddy and fix things just like him. My group ranges from age 2 years to almost 5 years and all of them, boys and girls, have really enjoyed playing and learning with the New Sprouts Fix It! tool set. This set of five tools and the toolbox is easy to clean up when playtime is over. I definitely recommend this toy set! Received at no charge in exchange for honest review.
Perfect for Your Little Helpers
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
My son loved this fun little tool set. He is always wanting to use his Daddy's tools and now he can use his own. They are made of soft plastic and are very durable. The tools come in a little tool box which is great for carrying them around and storing. My son's favorite thing is the drill since it makes a little noise when you press the trigger. My son loves to use his tools to help his Daddy fix things around the house and he also uses his imagination and plays with it to fix pretend things. Great product and highly recommend it.**I received this product free of charge in order to do an honest review, but this in no way influenced my review.**
great toy, great value!

I love toys that encourage imaginative play and this tool set with it's nice chunky design, made to fit little hands so well, does just that! It's so much fun to watch our little superstar, Michael, toddling around the house, tool kit in hand, fixing things just like his daddy does!The tools are fashioned of soft durable plastic so they're nearly indestructible and uber easy to keep clean. A quick rinse and wipe in the sink is all it takes. They're colorful and lightweight making them appealing to little eyes and easy for little hands to grasp as they go about their rounds hammering, sawing and drilling!
Merchant response: We are very proud of our New Sprouts line! Thank you for your feed back.

Topic: memcached in 2.1 weird problems
Hi, I am trying to use memcached and the rails 2.1 caching stuff, here is what I have done:
def also_viewed_cached
Rails.cache.fetch('also_viewed_' + self.id.to_s, :expires_in => 30.minutes) { also_viewed }
#... in my environment...
config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
also_viewed returns an array of active record objects(authors). The first call populates the cache fine, but the 2nd call when getting from the cache cant call methods on the ojbect, it gives me the error:
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `display_name' for #<Author:0x2aaaac40db08>) on line #11 of authors/_viewers_also_viewed.html.erb
The problem is this method is there, and when I bring it up in the debugger, I can see its the right class, I can look at attributes and they are there, but any method call causes undefined method error. If I try to get the id of the object, I get a stack level too deep error.
Is there some rule about storing active record objects in memcached using the new 2.1 caching stuff that im not aware of?

Five Nights of Performances February 19-27th in New York City
Avant Media, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to collaborative performance, announced today the first ever Avant Music Festival. The Festival presents five nights of live performances – February 19th-27th at Wild Project in New York City. The Avant Music Festival features some of the most talented young interpreters in New York, highlighting the influence of the performer on experimental music from the 20th century and today.
The Avant Music Festival is Avant Media's first festival of music exploring the nature of collaboration. The performer is a critical and powerful influence on both the composition and realization of some of the most influential music of the last 70 years. The performers appearing are dedicated to the vibrant history and the exciting future of modern classical music. The festival is curated by Avant Media artistic director, Randy Gibson, and experimental vocalist Megan Schubert to reflect the intense and multi-faceted relationship between composer and performer and features works by Luciano Berio, Caleb Burhans, John Cage, Brian Ferneyhough, Randy Gibson, Alexander Knaifel, Harold Meltzer, Stuart Saunders Smith, John Steimetz, and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
"I prefer to write music not for instruments, but for performers," said Gibson, the brooklyn-based minimalist composer, student of La Monte Young, and artistic director of Avant Media whose work bookends the show. "For me, the relationship I have with my performers is the most valuable I have. It is this collaboration of ideas and process that leads me to a higher plane of understanding of my work, and allows me to push the performers and audience to that same plane."
The full list of performances is as follows:
Tickets to individual concerts for $15, $5 for students, and Festival Passes, as well as multi-night subscriptions, are now available exclusively from www.avantmedia.org . All performances will start at 8PM at Wild Project – 195 East 3rd Street.

In spite of market rumours about the delay of iPad 2 commercial launch, Apple may release its new gadget shortly after the formal introduction on the 2nd of March, 2011, according to unofficial information. If the new rumours are correct, Apple's second-gen iPad will be released earlier than the majority of competing slates.
People familiar with the matter told AppleInsider web-site that Apple was preparing several of its operating segments to perform functions during the second half of [ninth] week that are representative of nothing short of a large scale, consumer-oriented product roll out, not just an announcement. Given the fact that Apple plans a media event on the 2nd of March and the rumour that it would formally introduce the new iPad there, it is highly likely that the company is preparing to start selling it.
Since iPad with Wi-Fi only connection does not require Apple to work with its partners among carriers to bring it to the market, it is not unlikely that the company may launch it shortly after the announcement. Tablets with 3G and Wi-Fi support require Apple to first work with carriers, who will then sell those products with data plans.
The second-generation iPad slate will address some of the issues of the original one. The device will be based on a more powerful presumably dual-core microprocessor, will feature higher-performance PowerVR graphics core and higher amount of memory, according to media reports. The device is projected to have a front-facing camera for video-conferences, but is also expected to have a similar 9.7" screen to the original model, which was not the best one possible even for 2010. Despite all of the improvements, the new device is claimed to be thinner and lighter than the predecessor.
Apple sold around 15 million iPad devices in 2010 thanks to the fact that it was the first to release a truly competitive media tablet. This year the situation gets tougher for Apple as numerous PC suppliers plan to release their slates for different customers, with different specifications and at different price-points. For example, Samsung Electronics, which Galaxy Tab slate emerged on sales in late October, had 7" screen, less polished operating system and did not have any price advantage over iPad, managed to sell two million units before the end of 2010.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

In an age ruled by human reason and political correctness, the last thing most religions want to do is rub people the wrong way or contradict conventional wisdom about God and His demands. The result? An almost universally taught and believed notion that God plays by mankind's rules, and that He wants you healthy, wealthy, happy, and feeling good about yourself.
But historically, true and vibrant Christianity has cut across the grain of conventional wisdom. And nowhere is that more clearly enunciated than in Jesus' masterful Sermon on the Mount—a sermon in which He turned the human wisdom of the religious elite on its head. In The Keys to the Kingdom, John MacArthur explores Luke's account of the Sermon on the Mount, revealing how the gospel of the Bible and true belief compares to widely held, widely taught error.
