Sometimes, I have to just smile at my own ability to keep jumping back into life. Sure, I have physical and emotional setbacks, but I still get up every day and 'try again". Lisa at Intrinsic Life Design has asked us to take this week and set some goals and express how we plan to accomplish them.
My reply would be that I am going to think more positively this week (and beyond!) about where my life is going, and how I can find a way to gather the physical strength as I begin a new course of study called Teaching Sells. I will be taking on a lot of work to create something that others will want to have. I have monetarily committed to take this course, which to me shows that I am serious about it.

i voted for rush. at the end of the season, he had me the most excited about 2010.
"Sometimes, when you look Andy in the eyes, you get a feeling somebody else is driving." -- David Letterman
I voted Rush- even though getting Jarrett Jack has been really nice for the Pacers so far.
For all the reasons given by Seth in his "I don't care" thread. Plus, donuts.
Can't go with Jack because he made a lot of mistakes that a veteran shouldn't. all Hibbert's mistakes can be explained as rookie mistakes. (But he's no longer a rookie, so he has no more excuses.)
And I won't be here to see the day
It all dries up and blows away
I'd hang around just to see
But they never had much use for me
In Levelland. (James McMurtry)
I voted Jack, but I easily could have voted Hibbert. Rush is a slightly distant third because it took him a while.
I'll go Roy. I love the offensive promise that he showed all season long. I would've voted for Brandon if he wouldn't have come on so late in the year.
I love both of these guys. They are going to be staples of this franchise for a long, long time along with Danny Granger. It's amazing to me how much more I enjoyed rooting for these guys this season than I did any of the previous 6. It was so hard for me to like those teams.
When this team is making the playoffs I will be proud to say that I watched most of the games of Hibbert and Rush's rookie season. It's going to be neat to watch guys grow up like this.

I felt Jack was, but then I always wanted Jack in a Pacers' uni.
Gotta love Roy !!!
I think most of the guys on the list ended up being exactly what we thought they'd be, so I voted for Jack. I think be exceeded expectations more than the rest.
Turn out the lights, this party's over!
Because he was given the opportunity to contribute and actually delivered many times throughout the year, my vote goes to Jack, despite my belief that Rush will have an overall larger impact on the franchise going forward.
Best of 2009? Jack.
Best hope for the future? Rush.
I'm always looking to the future... so Rush.
Jack was shaky at first, but then became solid as the season progressed.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I don't care how well he played, I still don't like Jack's game.
If I ask myself deep down inside, I have to admit that I think he had a "contract year" - nothing more, nothing less.
I've never spoken of this before now, and I won't likely discuss it afterward, as I like the guy as a person and if he stays a pacer and contributes to our team, I will support him. But I think a lot of us took Jack's performance WAY out of context and turned him into some kind of player he is not.
Just my two cents.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird
Interesting points. I like Jack more for his mental toughness, his leadership, his grittiness. I'll happily admit his game has a lot of flaws - more than I would prefer from a PG. But he's the anti-Tinsley: what he lacks in raw talent he makes up with hustle, tough mindedness, leadership. I hope he stays with the Pacers a long time, and he's the best PG currently on our roster. But we still need to find a long-term starting PG.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
Jack, and it's not even close. Rush and Roy came on a bit late, but Jack made his mark far more than anyone else that joined the Pacers last season.
It's called JACK.

First of all is having Jack and Rush leading this vote Shade's worst nightmare or what.
Second, tough call for me. I said Rush but nearly went with Jack. Overall I go with Jack, but I like what Rush was for the team in the final month more than what Jack was all year. I think Rush became a more critical piece than Jack by the end of the year.
Considering both were acquired with the same draft pick that's a pretty nice addition. I really want to see Jack return, primarily because of attitude. He's a leader type, he's a guy that imposes himself on the situation in a positive though sometimes volatile way and the Pacers have been lacking that for some time (maybe since Jax left a decade ago).
I don't think he needs to be a big minutes guy or a starter to fill that role either.
Long term though I think Rush is going to help the team much more. I'm excited because I liked him as a prospect, liked his game, and it's looking like that's going to pan out as hoped. I look forward to some fun seasons watching him grow.

Michael Hall has been doing a lot of research on the appearance in the show of real Earth starfields. Here, I write an update to my earlier post.
Unfortunately, the results are a little too good. The sky above Earth is unique. You won't find it anywhere else in the Galaxy. The sky at Alpha Centauri is of course the most similar, but it has a number of striking differences, changing several Zodiacal constellations, and adding an extra very bright star (our Sun) to turn Cassiopeia from a "W" to a "/W"
Hall's efforts show the exact Earth sky appearing in several places:
- The site of the Cylon civil war, making that planet be Jupiter. (This is also the site of Starbuck's vision of where Earth is.)
- Also the location of the Demetrius, where it is met by Leoben's heavy raider, fleeing that war
- Also the site of the rendezvous point between the fleet and the Demetrius
- The spot where Adama waits for Roslin and the base star that attacked the Hub to return
- The spot where the Tylium ship retreats to after they refuse to have Cylons upgrade their jump drive
In several of these scenes, we are given very obvious Earth star patterns. That is to say, we see the "big 3" of constellations that even non-astronomers readily recognize. The Big Dipper, the W of Cassiopeia, and Orion.
But more telling is we don't see the Earth sky anywhere else. In particular, not above the ruined home of the 13th colony, which they named Earth. And not in any other places along the way including early episodes. Hall used a really cool new star map detection system which will take any photo of stars and tell you where it is in our sky, or if it isn't in our sky at all.
On the one hand, if they producers know enough not to use the Earth sky for years, and suddenly they start using it, and even using it (showing Orion and Big Dipper) in a way that fans will be sure to notice, that doesn't seem like an accident. It's too odd to think that the graphics department, after carefully not using our sky, would just use it willy-nilly, and more to the point would not use it at the planet the 13th tribe named "Earth."
On the other hand, they are using it in too many places. To see the Earth sky, notably things like the shield of Orion, you have to be within a short distance of Earth. Perhaps just a light year or more. But there's nothing else around us in this zone. We're it. In fact, except for Alpha Centauri and 3 other minor stars, there's nothing around for 8 light years.
So this bugs me. On the one hand, the use of our sky is too strong to be an accident. On the other hand, now we are to believe that:
- The Demetrius sat for days a short distance from Earth, scoped it out, and didn't see it, even though they are hunting for a system with a ringed gas giant, and a life bearing planet with a large moon.
- In fact, while there Starbuck discusses how they have already sent out 2 recon missions in the area, and not found anything, so she demands a third.
- The whole fleet sat for weeks or more a short distance from Earth, and never noticed it.
- Starbuck just "happened" to pick a rendezvous point to meet up with the fleet that is our solar system.
- In spite of Adama ordering the fleet to go to G type stars to look for homes, when the Tylium ship comes to Sol, they don't bother to scope it out. (I guess if they have already been her for weeks and not seen anything that could make some sense.)
- Cavil just happens to pick Jupiter as the site of his ambush.
- All of this isn't too far from the Ionian Nebula supernova remnant. (The closest supernova remnant is Vela, about 800 light years away.)
In particular, when Cavil sets his ambush, he tells the others they will unbox D'Anna, and the closest place to do it is the nearest "accessible server" which is "half a dozen jumps away." Now 6 Cylon jumps is pretty far, probably as much as 2,000 light years. It is possible he sprang the ambush at one of the intermediate points along the way, but there is no reason Jupiter would just happen to be one of the points along the way.
This adds another confusing point. First of all, how could Cavil "just happen" to pick Jupiter/Earth for the site of his ambush, of all the zillions of stars out there. Secondly, what does it mean that there is an accessible server in the Cylon resurrection network at Jupiter? This would mean the Cylons are no strangers to this region, in which case they would surely notice Earth too. After all, they are also looking for it.
And Earth should stick out. Our giant moon is a dead giveaway; we believe that to be rather unusual. And the spectrum of light from our planet, which includes lots of water and free oxygen, would be a beacon to anybody examining it with space telescopes even from light years away. Free oxygen, it is commonly accepted, is not something you will find unless something (life) is making it, because it is used up quickly in reactions. And real Earth, seen at the end of season 3, is a living planet, with free Oxygen, not a cinder.
So thus the dilemma. The use of the constellations seems deliberate. The Cylon battle site has to be Jupiter, it can be nowhere else. And yet the fleet, Demetrius, Cylon network builders and others have all hung around this system for long periods, and not noticed anything.
So of course one interpretation is a huge writing mistake, and a huge mistake in the graphics department in suddenly deciding after 4 years to start throwing the Earth sky in so many places with the notable exception of the 13th colony. Or perhaps the writers don't realize just how readily they would see Earth if they hung around these areas with nice space telescopes, as they must have to do the stellar navigation they do.
This wouldn't be the first production mistake like this. In the episode Torn, Gaeta pulls out a star map he supposedly got from Pegasus. But it's an Earth star map, complete with Earth names on constellations and modern Earth catalog numbers on the stars. This map makes no sense, and strikes me as a lazy production mistake. We only see it upside-down.
But let's dig for an alternate explanation. We're told of a long, repeating history of war and exodus. This must have happened on real Earth as well. The Kobolians fled, or were kicked out. Perhaps they have programming relating to Earth, to block their return to it. Just as Starbuck got compulsions to find Earth (and visions of the real Jupiter) there may be other compulsions not to find it. There may be forces out there that want them to find real Earth, and others that want them not to.
This explains the 13th tribe heading in this direction, and finding a different planet quite nearby and naming it Earth. It might explain Athena being sent on a recon to Earth from the Demetrius and reporting no joy — 3 times. It might explain the presence of a Cylon network node there, but without Cylon conscious awareness of what the location is. We know at least that the 7 Cylons (including Athena) have compulsions programmed into their brains either by, or relating to the Final Five. And we know the Final Five have their own compulsions programmed into their brains, too.
But there is also the question of Cavil. He is Cylon model #1. Is he special? He seems to know things, without letting on. He makes deadpan pronouncements of major consequences if D'Anna sees the Five, or if inhibitors are removed from Centurions. And he somehow picks Jupiter as the site for his ambush, an impossible coincidence.
So something isn't adding up. Is it a strange mistake. Or a hint of a major mystery?
The Supernova
Another thing that's not adding up is the Ionian Nebula. This is a supernova remnant — it has to be, because nobody will immediately pull from their minds a plain old nova seen 4,000 years ago. But it must be close to both the 13th colony and real Earth. When they get there, Roslin starts jumping the fleet along the course they went, and Starbuck goes crazy, saying it's the wrong way. So real Earth is a bit of a backtrack (or at least sideways track) from that remnant.
There are only a few supernova remnants close to us. One of the closest is the Vela nebula, which new research puts only 800 light years away. It exploded, it is suggested, around 11,000 years ago. (I am unsure if that is the date of explosion or the date of light arrival on Earth.) Since the Ionian supernova is dated to 17,000 years ago as seen from the colonies, that fits well with a chronology placing this story 5,000 years in our future.
The Ionian/Vela supernova would have been a big event in Kobol/Algae Planet society, because they would have known in advance it was going to happen. They would have jumped beyond its light cone, meaning that when they got to their new planet, they would know the supernova wave was following them, and could have put out lawn chairs to watch it explode. The legends persist so much that Gaeta still knows about it.
But 800 light years is still a long distance for Starbuck to trek on her exploration, and for the fleet to follow. We are told colonial jumps are in the range of 30 light years before they hit their red-line, so that's over 25 jumps. However, it does not match very well with being 6 Cylon jumps, as Cylon jumps are supposed to be able to go 10 times further. (Though to contradict that, Cylon upgrades to fleet drives will only give them a 3x improvement. And we don't know where the Cylons start.)
Hall makes the case that in fact they did a giant backtrack. He thinks they trekked 13,000 light years out to the edge of the galaxy to find the Ionian nebula, and Starbuck and the fleet independently came back that distance or more to get to Earth. I don't think that's credible for a lot of reasons. One is that I can't see a waste processing ship designed for a small set of close colonies ever having the fuel capacity to do that. Nor could they pick a rendezvous point 13,000 light years away so accurately that the Cylon ship and Demetrius jump right into the middle of the fleet.
The Journey
We must also step back and realize that the journey here is probably not a straight line. If the forces guiding them to these planets wanted to, they could have just said, "Here are the coordinates for Earth." Instead we get a very, very convoluted trek. I hope we see a reason for this trek.
- Head out randomly into space. Somehow find Kobol
- On Kobol, find a star map that tells you to head in the direction of M8, the Lagoon Nebula.
- Along the way find a probe, and a possible lion's head nebula
- Be diverted for 18 months on a hidden planet called New Caprica
- Be diverted back to an Algae planet. There, the chosen one is supposed to be in the activated temple, but it doesn't seem to happen. However, see a symbol that tells you to go in the direction of the Ionian supernova remnant.
- Along the way, refuel at a planet where Starbuck is taken in an unknown fashion.
- Reach the Ionian nebula. Suffer a power failure. Awaken the final five, just slightly. Return a Starbuck, in a brand new viper. Starbuck has compulsions that point her towards Earth. She finds it but doesn't see it. Raiders encountered freshly awakened final five, and break off, triggering Cylon internal conflict.
- Cylons have civil war, near Earth.
- Have the final five realize the viper is special. The viper has a locater pointing at the 13th colony.
- On the 13th colony, give the final five more memories, but learn no new clues for true Earth.
This journey does not have to be a straight line, but I hope we see a reason why this is the journey that makes sense. Something to explain why not just get coordinates. A reason why this journey brings about other events like the alliance with the Cylons, or their war. Events either to repeat the cycle, or to break it.

Central sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing stops over and over during sleep.
Sleep apnea - central
Central sleep apnea results when the brain temporarily stops sending signals to the muscles that control breathing.
The condition often occurs in people who have certain medical problems. For example, it can develop in someone who has a problem with the brainstem, which controls breathing.
Conditions that can cause or lead to central sleep apnea include:
If the apnea is not associated with another disease, it is called idiopathic central sleep apnea.
A condition called Cheyne-Stokes respiration can mimic central sleep apnea. This involves breathing to a variable depth, usually while sleeping.
Central sleep apnea is not the same as
Persons with central sleep apnea have episodes of disrupted breathing during sleep.
Other symptoms may include:
Other symptoms may occur if the apnea is due to a problem with the nervous system. Symptoms depend on the parts of the nervous system that are affected, and may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Tests will be done to diagnose an underlying medical condition. A sleep study (polysomnography) can confirm sleep apnea.
Other tests that may be done include:
Treating the condition that is causing central sleep apnea can help manage symptoms. For example, if central sleep apnea is due to heart failure, the goal is to treat the heart failure itself.
Devices used during sleep to aid breathing may be recommended. These include
Oxygen treatment may help ensure the lungs get enough oxygen while sleeping.
If narcotic medicine is causing the apnea, the dosage may need to be lowered or the medicine changed.
How well a patient does depends on the medical condition causing central sleep apnea.
The outlook is usually favorable for persons with idiopathic central sleep apnea.
Complications may result from the underlying disease causing the central sleep apnea.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is usually diagnosed in patients who are already severely ill.

Watch Episodes
Any semblance of character backstory realism destroyed with two simple words: "Ida Union", supposed ex-military, Agent Jones.
Trek fans seem to have been priming themselves to hate this show for the best part of a year now, and the fact that the two-part premiere was genuinely excellent - far better than the last 4 films, Enterprise and Voyager - doesn't seem like it'll stop them. Strong script, pacing, production, characterization and concept, plus a realistic and complex look at how two societies can stumble into war; this is a show where actions have consequences. Finally the franchise is doing something bold and progressive for the prestige TV era, and attempting its most ambitious storytelling in two decades. Surely that's what fans want, isn't it? You'd think Trek lovers would be excited to have a new Trek series. But apparently not. It's clear to me that a significant proportion of the fandom wants comfort food. "Regressive listeners behave like children. Again and again, and with stubborn malice, they demand the one dish they have once been served. A sort of musical children's language is prepared for them: it differs from the real thing in that its vocabulary consists exclusively of fragments and distortions of the artistic language of music. [...] Regressive listening is always ready to degenerate into rage. The regressive listener would like to ridicule and destroy what yesterday they were intoxicated with [...]" - Adorno wrote this in 1938 about commercial jazz and its enthusiasts, but it applies equally well to fandoms generally, unfortunately including many professed Star Trek fans. You get a lot of people in fandoms who consume fetishistically - treating the object of their fandom not as a piece of drama, art or literature that's supposed to challenge, develop and break new ground, but as a comfort blanket of tropes - they just one that one reassuring staple served to them again and again. Fast food. This would seem to be why so many Trek fans are delighting in the critically-mauled Orville and its colorful brand of fast-food Star Trek while consistently attacking the well-received real thing (and believe me, Discovery is far more "the real thing" than the JJ Abrams movies or Enterprise). I don't think The Orville is terrible, but I do think that at present, there's unfortunately a greater appetite for its brand of lightweight, glitzily produced bros-in-space Trek than there is for a complex and tonally somber prequel featuring two non- white female leads. And that's a great pity; one that speaks to audience entitlement and a failure to treat Trek as what it is and what it was always supposed to be - drama. It only takes a quick look at some of the other reviews on here to see that this negative reception is not based the quality of the show's storytelling, but is either nitpicky in character (writing off the whole series because the Klingons have been redesigned, the ship's design/technology is wrong for the era, or even just the fact that Discovery is set in Trek's past and not its future) and/or has gendered and racial aspects, especially gendered. It's not automatically misogynist to criticise a Trek show with a female lead (Voyager was bad more often than it was good, and Janeway's characterization was highly inconsistent), but there has been a continuous strong undercurrent of misogyny (both dog-whistle and overt) in advance of and now in response to this excellent show. Everyone who thinks Discovery is decent and that it deserves a chance to thrive, whether Trek fans or general audiences new to the franchise, needs to support it, because otherwise we'll just be stuck with The Orville. Don't let the "fans" kill Discovery because they're too regressive in their consumption to recognize a creation of this quality - one that doesn't come around very often.
Not sure why they've set it in the prime time line but made it look completely as if it's in the Kelvin time line . Would have made more sense to have it in the new movie universe.
what a giant piece of shit. if you a star trek fan fucking skip this crap
One of the greatest shows of all time. I am not a horror fan but the story line is what hooked me. Some of the best writing of all time
So they made up a Klingon language. Boring to watch with no subtitles for the Klingon stuff, and there's a LOT of it.
@polferis , thanks!!
Actually not bad in my opinion. The beginning half of the episode felt like we as an audience had no connection to the main character, but as it progressed it to the 2nd episode, it soon smoothed itself out. I will be looking forward to the next episodes.

orly. pathetic hollywood garbage. possibly the most painful three hours of my life. pure shit.
you couldnt tackle a kitten social media pangender pedo.
its not difficult. its fuckin dumb. snowflake agenda melts under the light. go away.
Episode 3 just served up a big reminder to Star Trek of the sort of thing it used to do well, tackle difficult social issues straight on. Gender identity, social acceptance, parameters of consent to name a few. Not preachy and often humorous because using words to lighten a subject doesn't mean you take that subject lightly. Seth MacFarlane is dangerously close to stealing the crown from the stumbling Trek franchise here.
The season finale was absolutely great up to the last few minutes ...still looking forward to season 4 though.
why is she wearing the same red pant-suit in every episode?
mpore episode like this - please.
so, last season finale' the toxin got released and it's.. what? gone? The people it affected are no longer affected? Jim is no longer affected? PLEASE dont screew with this show, it's one of the FEW good ones still on.
These episodes are all wrong. They are all ep1

@Kyndryd I think Kai (Evan Peters) is trying to start a kind of cult. He's ramping up everybody's fear then taking it away. They follow him because he's like a god to them.
and now anyone can walk onto/into an acitve crime scene. smh
has anyone figured out why the season is called "Cult"? Sarah Poulsn is absolutely SUPERB.

text: New settlers (who should always be here as early in the spring as possible) begin to cut down the wood where they intend to erect their first house. As the trees are cut the branches are to be lopped off, and the trunks cut into lengths of 12 or 14 feet. This operation they call junking them; if they are not junked before fire is applied, they are much worse to junk afterwards.

Borjana's are ridiculously hot but they seldom admit their hotness to anyone. They also love drama and anything that comes with it. If she cuts an onion and cries, she will let you know. If she breaks a toenail, she will email you. If she climbs a mountain, she will message you. Borjana's love being loved and spreading the love only not to men, they spread it to monkeys. Interestingly enough this stems from a their ancestry. As most may not know Borjana's are of royal blood in serbia. The symbol of this kingdom was a monkey. Borjana's love being in charge and are against men and never let a man win. Borjana's are also violent, but their nature is justified. Being royal comes with the threat of danger, and borjana's are often stalked and harassed by older men. In sanskrit the name Borjana also refers to Monkey. In dutch the name Borjana refers to woman who doesnt believe in love. In japanese the term borjana means love me bitch.
Hey mom! I was watching national geographic and if i'm a good boy all year can i get a borjana!
Why gotta be such a borjana. Its our wedding tonight!
You better borjana or i'm gonna leave your ass.

Inner Indulgences
The unique interiors of these recently launched megayachts soothe the soul and amaze the eye.
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten
The moment you step onboard, the extra attention to detail is obvious through the use of neutral, color-coordinated, cushioned fabric panels on the bulkheads and overhead, which together give her a clean, luxurious look.
Her 20-foot-wide, full-beam master suite, located on the lower deck, is particularly noteworthy. It features a double-door entry, a vanity, six windows (three on each side) with sliding Shoji screens to offer privacy when in port, a walk-in closet, and a large, wallpapered bathroom with marble countertops and brushed stainless steel fixtures. In addition to the walk-in closet, there's also stowage in the form of deep drawers built into the bed frame, in the nightstand, and in the cabinets in the sitting area, all of which feature the wood inlays and grain matching that have become Lazzara trademarks.

Sometimes I like to add the sound of thousands of screaming fans into my recordings. You can find Creative Commons licensed large crowd samples online at the Free Sound Project. Another great place to search is SugarMegs which is a huge archive of free, legal concert recordings. Be sure that there's no music playing even softly in the background or you risk the possibility of being outed as faker. If possible grab a section of pure crowd that's long enough to fill the section of your own song in which your placing it because properly looping audience noise can be tricky.
A fun example of a fake crowd placed into a techno track is Slaves to the Rave by the Inferno Bros:
Sometimes I like to start a track with the large crowd fading in. Next I will add a single kick with a ton of reverb on it creating a boom. I then automated the crowd's volume envelope to jump up after the boom sound creating the effect that the audience is reacting excitedly. I also use this triangular looking volume curve after a few opening screaming vocal sentences. With some careful placement and tweaking the end result kind be quite realistic.
On the other hand experimenting and creating something wild out of the crowd noise also can work. I've pitch shifted, flanged and "trance gated" crowd sounds into really worthwhile parts.

Nikkel Iron Works to Unveil New Model at World Ag Expo
The new 1017 DARF hay rake will make its first West Coast appearance at the 46th annual World Ag Expo, Feb. 12-14.
Nikkel Iron Works, a 46-year WAE exhibitor, developed the new rake with changes and enhancements made as a result of customer feedback. The new model is in addition to the reliable model 917 rake, which has been on the market for over two decades and has become an industry leader for the California company.
Enhancements include the upgraded Dur-Adjust Spring and Rod System and Super Duty walking beam assemblies now offered as standard features. Hydraulic hoses are now enclosed for a smoother, more efficient and maintenance-free operation; a convenient, easy access cover protects the multifunction hydraulic valve from weather and debris; and a redesigned channel lift tube support delivers trouble-free rake wheel height adjustment.
"We have had the 917 for many years and it continues to perform very well," noted sales manager Bruce Shannon. "The 1017 is a result of open communication with the people who put our rakes in the field."
Nikkel Iron Works' World Ag Expo exhibit will be located on O Street, space 32.
The nearly 90-year-old Nikkel Iron Works continues to manufacture its equipment at a plant in Shafter, located near Bakersfield in California's San Joaquin Valley. The DARF hay rake is known for its durability and its ability to gently, yet quickly, handle hay in the field. DARF hay rakes are in use on small and large family farms and many commercial operations throughout the western United States.
Stan Azevedo, of Azevedo Custom Hay in Hanford, says he uses the DARF because it gently lifts the hay, without losing the nutrient-rich leaves. He notes that the DARF also aerates, or fluffs, the hay, which allows it to dry more effectively and bale more quickly.
Azevedo points to changes in rake design that have allowed him to work his rakes at 13 miles per hour, compared to the previous 4 to 5 mph. And, the DARF wheel rake allows him to rake when the hay is on the drier side, which helps with baling, and even when the hay is a little too damp.
"The DARF hay rake is fast and allows me to work efficiently and I have to be efficient to stay in business," Azevedo added. "But it is also gentle, to preserve the leaves and produce good forage."
The DARF hay rake is now available with up to 17 wheels in 24 different models to meet operators' specific needs. For information, contact sales manager Bruce Shannon at 559-999-1014 or visit the web site, nikkelironworks.com.

The Keeper Reaper
Outfielders for 1/18/13
Ben Revere | Philadelphia Phillies
As a fantasy asset, it's quite clear where Revere will help your team and where he won't. The young, speedy centerfielder can provide runs, hits, and steals in bunches but won't offer much in the way of RBIs or homers. In fact, in just over 1,000 major league trips to the plate, Revere has yet to hit a single home run, though he did once come oh-so-close to the inside-the-park variety.
This extreme deficiency in two stat categories puts a cap on his potential value but doesn't mean he can't be a valuable player to own. After spending the first month of 2012 in the minors, Revere began to receive regular at-bats in mid-May and was able to hit .294 with 40 steals and 70 runs in 125 games. That line was ranked 117th by our PFM, so it's easy to see how, when extrapolating those numbers over a full season, he can approach top-90 status. But extrapolation rarely works that simply, and it's hard to argue for a player whose peak value extends not much higher.
On squads with top hitters like Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre, Revere's stolen base contributions would likely be maximized, and I can see reaching for him just after the 100 pick mark. Otherwise, it is likely best to take one of the more all-around outfielders available like a Norichika Aoki or Coco Crisp.
Alejandro De Aza | Chicago White Sox
Playing in his first full MLB season at age 28, De Aza capitalized on the opportunity in 2012, batting .281 with nine home runs and 26 steals. His final line was ranked 115th best, rewarding the White Sox and fantasy owners alike. Heading into 2013, he is the clear everyday center fielder and leadoff man in the South Side.
While that all sounds rosy, I wouldn't rush to invest in De Aza for next year. He's had the skills to compete in the majors for many years, but injuries held back his development for several seasons. It's nice that he has been able to remain relatively healthy the past two seasons, but I would still classify him as a moderate-to-high injury risk. De Aza also did well to take advantage of manager Robin Ventura's aggressive tendencies on the basepaths last year, but perhaps he should ease up a bit considering that his 26 stolen base successes came with 12 failures—just a 68 percent success rate.
Overall, I feel we're looking at a .270-.280 outfielder capable of 10 homers and 20-25 steals. Outfielders of this sort are fairly dime-a-dozen and not worth reaching for in drafts when many comparable players will likely still be on the board. If he falls to you after pick 200, I have no problem pulling the trigger on him there. With outfielders from this tier, though, it's usually best to wait for whoever slips through the cracks rather than go out of your way to reach for any particular one.
Lorenzo Cain | Kansas City Royals
When Cain was traded from the Brewers to the Royals as part of the return package for Zack Greinke he was seen as a potentially-elite speedster, which naturally got the attention of fantasy players. Then in 2011, at Triple-A as a 25 year-old, he developed his power stroke and amassed 16 homers, which is when he really got the attention of fantasy players. Optimism was abound regarding Cain heading into 2012, the year in which he was suppose to become an MLB regular… until a groin injury struck the first week of the season followed by a hip strain while he was rehabbing.
It wasn't until after the All-Star break that Cain got back into action, but for fantasy owners who had him stashed on the DL all season, he proved worth the wait. He managed to get into 60 games and left his mark on the fantasy world, swatting seven homers and stealing 10 bases in as many tries. Heading into 2013, Cain remains a largely unproven and intriguing player.
If he stays healthy, Cain seems capable of batting .275 with 15 homers and 30 steals—a slight upgrade to De Aza for comparison. It's important to note, however, that assuming health is a fairly big "if" with Cain. Heath concerns and his relatively unproven abilities should temper our expectations, but there is some upside here to excuse reaching slightly to get him.

BP Comment Quick Links
I think you're undervaluing De Aza a bit. He is the lowest risk choice of the three you review, with a very comfortable hold on a starting job and a lead-off slot. He's an ideal 4th outfielder who will fill in reliably on a fantasy team if-- or when-- one of your high-ceiling OFers gets hurt or flops.
Jan 18, 2013 07:06 AM
I tend to agree with you. Especially because it looks like Keppinger will be hitting second and he almost never stikes out. Great opportunites for the hit and run (i.e having De Aza go first to third) and easily be knocked in by Dunn/Konerko/Rios. Runs are an awful stat but they matter in almost all fantasy leagues.
Jan 18, 2013 10:02 AM
Paul Singman
BP staff
All three players have a pretty safe hold on their jobs... if one of them plays poorly enough to lose it, you won't want to own them anyway. I feel it largely comes down to a matter of upside between these players, and I'll take Revere's average and steals (and age) to de Aza's edge in power. Cain does come with an added risk, so if a "safe 4th OF" is what your looking for, then it's fair to pass up on him.

High-profile NBA player agent Arn Tellem is urging his clients to fire union chief Billy Hunter at the National Basketball Players Association's annual meeting at the All-Star Game in February in Houston, The New York Times reported, citing a 1,500-word letter from Tellem to his players that the newspaper obtained.
In the letter, sent to players Monday, Tellem blasted Hunter's record as executive director of the NBPA and accuses him of using the union for personal gain.
Tellem's letter went out two weeks after the release of an outside audit that heavily criticized Hunter's hiring practices and expenditures and questioned his judgment on a wide variety of issues, The Times noted.
The Times' report of the letter also came on the same day Bloomberg News reported, and The Times confirmed, that Hunter had fired three family members last week in response to the nepotism concerns raised in the audit.
Read the entire text of Tellem's letter, obtained by The Times.
Two of the family members worked in the union offices: Daughter Robyn Hunter was director of player benefits, and daughter-in-law Megan Inaba is the director of special events and sponsorships. Inaba will continue to work through All-Star weekend, Feb. 15-17, before stepping down.
"NBA players deserve better representation from the union they fund," Tellem wrote in the letter. "I implore you and your fellow players to take control of your union and your future. It's time for Mr. Hunter to go."
Further, Tellem — who represents, among others, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Pau Gasol and Joe Johnson — suggests that players should make that decision at the NBPA's annual All-Star weekend meeting, at which they also are scheduled to discuss the recent audit, conducted by a law firm whose representatives are expected to be there to present the findings and answer questions.
In his letter, Tellem suggests that Hunter should not be allowed to attend that meeting to prevent him from any attempt "to intimidate and manipulate." Tellem writes: "Hunter is betting that the players — historically passive — will let him slide. I hope you don't. Clearly, Hunter has violated your trust."
The union declined to comment to The Times. Hunter, according to the newspaper, indirectly defended himself in a statement sent to Bloomberg, asserting that he has looked out for the players' interests more than some player agents.

Stevens Service Learning Center
At Merrimack College, our Augustinian tradition and our connections with the neighborhoods around the College have always inspired us to seek community service opportunities in abundance. Through our service learning program, our students are able to incorporate these service experiences into their academic studies.
Established in 1998 through a grant from the Stevens Foundation, the Stevens Service Learning Center anchors the service learning program. We maintain strong relationships with more than 75 placement sites in the Merrimack Valley, including elementary schools, boys and girls clubs, nursing homes and elder care programs, day care centers, homeless shelters and soup kitchens, court systems, and many other service organizations in need.
On average, a student in a service learning position performs about 15 hours of service during a semester and receives class credit for this service. The site you choose will vary depending on the course and the professor, but you will have many options—including early morning or evening placements—and we offer van service to get you there.
Each semester, we work with hundreds of volunteers taking or teaching courses in all divisions of the College. Our goal is to make service learning an easy, accessible, and worthwhile part of your education.
"Service learning helped open up new horizons and gave me a sense of accomplishment."

Beachy could begin Minors rehab stint next week
DETROIT -- Brandon Beachy could begin a Minor League rehab stint next week, with the hope of joining Atlanta's starting rotation by the middle of June.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Beachy will throw live batting practice two or three more times before being cleared to begin a rehab stint that would likely include at least six starts at the Minor League level.
If this schedule holds true, Beachy could actually rejoin Atlanta's rotation during a six-game road trip that begins on June 6 in Los Angeles and concludes on June 12 in San Diego. This would put him at least a week ahead of the schedule that was envisioned when he underwent Tommy John surgery last June 21.
Beachy was leading the Majors with a 2.00 ERA when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow last year.

Dissecting the Dow's Underperformance -- Part I
Whither the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2013, beyond that first, unsustainably nice day of the year? Despite Wednesday's rally, you have to be depressed and suspicious of how poorly this index performed in 2012, finishing up a pathetic 7.3% against gains of 15.9% in the Nasdaq's and 13.4% in the S&P 500. (We've already seen about half last year's performance on day one of 2013!)
Who are the culprits behind this underperformance? Who did well in a futile attempt to save the index from abysmal results vs. the others? What's next for the oh-so-venerable but -- at least last year -- out-of-synch index?...912 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Bradley has command issues vs. Mariners
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Archie Bradley was hitting his spots while warming up in the bullpen, but when the game started, it was a different story.
Bradley allowed four runs on five hits and walked two while striking out one over two innings of work Thursday against the Mariners.
"In the 'pen, I felt good," Bradley said. "I was throwing strikes. I really felt good with where I was at and then at the start of the game just lost it. It's never good when you're throwing 90 percent of your pitches out of the stretch. Just never could find consistency or really get comfortable. Just could never find a good spot and get where I felt good throwing the ball."
It was the first rough outing of the spring for Bradley, ranked by MLB.com as the top pitching prospect in baseball. In two previous starts, he had not allowed a run in 6 1/3 innings.
"He didn't have it," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "Actually a little bit of humble pie today maybe. Struggled with his command. You're going to have those days, and hopefully he'll learn something from it. He should benefit from it."
It sure sounded like Bradley did.
"Any time you're having to work behind in the count is never good, and I just couldn't ever get that first pitch over and it seemed like every batter I was working from behind," Bradley said. "You're not going to have a lot of success when you do that."
Bradley's next outing will come March 21 against Team Australia in Sydney.
With starter Bronson Arroyo's status for Opening Day in doubt, Bradley remains a candidate to start the year in the rotation.
"I know what I need to work on going into my bullpen and now I've got to get ready for Australia," Bradley said.

Giants' approach at the plate is paying dividends
DENVER -- So the Giants led the National League in hitting entering Friday with a .269 mark. This fact is not to be taken lightly.
Many outstanding hitters have performed for the Giants, but few helped them win team batting titles. Since 1932, the club has paced the NL in hitting exactly twice: 1962 (.278) and '93 (.276).
The Giants' efficiency largely represents a continuation of last year, when they recorded the league's second-lowest strikeout total and hit a Major League-high .296 with runners in scoring position after the All-Star break.
"The guys have bought into [the offensive philosophy] more and more now," hitting coach Hensley Meulens said.
Meulens, who divides his duties with Joe Lefebvre, reviewed the basics the Giants try to follow: shortening up one's swing with two strikes; getting a good pitch to hit (a time-honored approach); and trying to hit pitches on a line drive down. That way, the batter is more likely to put the ball in play. If he mishits it up, he'll pop up or lift a lazy fly ball.
Meulens reiterated that the arrival of individuals such as Marco Scutaro, who strives to avoid striking out, has pushed other Giants to adopt the increasingly team-wide approach.

Construction to replace Camp Pendleton's aging hospital with a facility costing nearly half-a-billion dollars began Thursday, when military commanders and builders sunk their shovels into the ground at a ceremonial groundbreaking.
The future 500,000 square-foot hospital, which will serve a population of about 150,000 Marines, sailors and family members, is expected to open in 2014. It is being built and equipped with as much as $451 million in federal stimulus funds, making it the largest American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project for the Navy, which provides the Marine Corps' medical care.
Camp Pendleton's new hospital is the second biggest stimulus project for the Pentagon, which got a $7.4 billion cut of the total $787 billion package signed by President Barack Obama in 2009.
"We are truly in the midst of an unprecedented, five-year construction boom here at Camp Pendleton" that will transform living standards, said Col. Nicholas F. Marano, the base commander.
He said the hospital is the largest of 63 active construction projects at Camp Pendleton, which together total $1.9 billion.
The existing medical center — near Lake O'Neill — was designed in 1969 and opened in 1974. Many other buildings at Camp Pendleton, the largest military training facility on the West Coast, date to the World War II era.
"Most of them have not aged very well, and thankfully there are fewer and fewer of those buildings every year," Marano said.
Including the hospital construction crew, about 10,000 builders are employed daily at Camp Pendleton. Projects underway or recently completed include more than three dozen barracks, utilities reconstruction, expansion of family housing, a simulated Afghan village for infantry training and a 3-megawatt photovoltaic field that will provide roughly 10 percent of the base's energy needs.
The hospital project was originally expected to cost $563 million, but the economic downturn cut costs, said Navy Capt. S. Keith Hamilton, commanding officer of Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest.
"The competitive environment has given us the very best constructors and the very best design, at lower costs then we would have expected in a different market climate," Hamilton said.
The Navy had planned to use a standard hospital design, but the reduced costs allowed them to incorporate features such as atriums providing an abundance of natural light conducive to healing.
"It is nothing like anything we have built before," Hamilton said.
About 11,000 Marines and sailors from the base are deployed in harm's way, most of them in Afghanistan. A plaque to be placed on the new hospital grounds will remind crews that "this construction site is dedicated to the members of the armed forces and their families who have sacrificed so much for our freedom," said Richard Heim, manager of the Clark-McCarthy joint venture building the hospital.
The Navy surgeon general, Vice Adm. Adam M. Robinson, Jr., said the future hospital and the patient-centered care it will administer represents the dedication of Navy medicine to shipmates and their families.
"Don't worry only about the war years. Worry about the years after the war, because our commitment will not be any less to these men and women as those years progress," he added.
The new medical center is being erected on a 70-acre ridgetop site with an ocean view, near the main gate of Camp Pendleton. It will include at least 54 inpatient beds.
In September, the Navy awarded the design and construction contract to a joint venture of Clark Construction Group and McCarthy Building Companies in association with the architectural firm HKS. The contract includes $394 million for the multi-level building designed to conserve resources and gain LEED Gold certification. Additional provisions for furnishings, parking and environmental concerns could boost the contract by an additional $57 million.
The current hospital has more beds, 72, than its replacement will because modern medicine typically requires shorter hospital stays, Navy medical representatives said.
More extensive procedures, such as amputee care or open heart surgeries, are performed about an hour away at Naval Medical Center San Diego, at Balboa.

Obama not sure he'd allow a son to play football
Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:08:16 GMT —
WASHINGTON- President Barack Obama says he's a football fan but that if he had a son, considering the impact the game has on its players, he would think long and hard before allowing his son to play.
Obama tells The New Republic that football fans are going to have to wrestle with the fact that the game will probably change over time to try to reduce the violence. The president says that some of those changes might make football, in his words, "a bit less exciting" but that it will be much better for players.
Obama says he worries more about college players than those in the NFL because they have a union, are well-paid and are grown men.
The interview appears in the Feb. 11 issue of The New Republic.

MIAMI - When I wrote my blog last week suggesting there is no room in this world for pedophiles, child abusers and rapists and that they should all be sent to a deserted island -- well, I received some of the most disgusting and unsettling responses.
I just wanted to share a few paragraphs from one of them with you. This is from someone who calls himself sixpackattack.
He's not man enough to put his real name. Anyway, here's what he wrote. You be the judge.
"I don't even know what to say to be honest. You sicken me. I have never harmed anyone.
I am attracted to little girls. They are so damn sexy. Who are you to tell me they are not?
Sexiness is subjective. It is also funny that the little girls I know like it when I tell them that I think they are sexy.
Yet you and the rest of society acts like it harms them.
Have you seen child porn sir? Have you seen the amount of child porn involving happy, smiling, giggling kids? Stop rationalizing your anti sex attitudes. Kids can and do enjoy consensual sexual contact with adults and other children.
Learn who the real bad guys are. Not all pedophiles want to hurt kids. We just have a different attraction, and it enrages me when people like you conflate us with real abusers who hurt kids.
I love little girls and they love me. When I have to leave they cry their eyes out. When I arrive they get all giddy with excitement. I am attractive, athletic (got a six pack) and all around loving person."
And I am the sick person? Really.
There was also "Baldur" who insists my comments are inciting genocide.
Here's a portion of his/her response.
"John Turchin is directly and publicly inciting genocide......John Turchin specifically advocates expulsion of a group into a deadly environment.....
You seem like a self-hating pedophile to me. Self-haters can be very dangerous, as with J. Edgar Hoover who was almost certainly of partial African descent and quite likely gay, and yet attacked both blacks and gays. The pattern has repeated itself over and over again, and perhaps you are part of it.
So, besides having no conscience, you appear to be unconcerned that you are committing a capital crime under international law, and a crime against humanity.
Eventually we will prevail, and your calumny will not be forgotten. We *will* defend ourselves."
Again, I ask you, am I the sick person? Really.
I would love to hear your responses.

In response to the recent robberies, the Apartment Association of Fort Wayne-NE Indiana said Friday it has compiled safety information and apartment complexes are planning meetings.
"While crime can happen anywhere, apartment residents need to be more aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity," said AAFW Executive Director Beth Wyatt in a news release.
Information that would be helpful to the Fort Wayne Police Department in solving these crimes includes physical descriptions of any suspicious persons, along with the make, model, color and license plate numbers of their vehicles, according to the release.
Several apartment communities are distributing safety tips and letters to residents as well as planning community meetings to provide information to residents and allow them to meet their neighbors, according to the release.
Any suspicious activity needs to be reported to the property management staff as well as local law enforcement, the association said.
During a similar string of robberies back in 2011, the association compiled several resources that it is again providing, including a safety list under "Violent Crime and Personal Safety" under Resources at National Crime Prevention Council, www.ncpc.org.

The names of more than 30,000 Nebraskans and former Nebraskans are included in the 2013 Unclaimed Property Report, State Treasurer Don Stenberg said Wednesday.
In all, the State Treasurers Office is holding more than $125 million for more than 350,000 Nebraskans and former Nebraskans, Stenberg said.
The database is constantly being updated. To check online, click HERE.
"The search is well worth the time and effort. Many people are surprised at what they find and are grateful for the service, Stenberg said.
The Treasurers Office does not charge for the service.
Property included in the 2013 report is valued at more than $17.8 million. The 10 largest properties, ranging from $80,000 to $230,000, are identified by name in the report. The owners of the top 10 properties are listed in Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy counties. The tabloid contains 103 properties over $10,000.
The Nebraska Unclaimed Property statutes were enacted into law in 1969. Since then, more than $141 million has been paid out to rightful owners. So far in 2013, more than $1.7 million has been paid with January being a particularly productive month.
Stenberg said the Treasurers Office is making a strong effort to locate the owners of especially large properties that have been on the unclaimed property rolls for some time. In January alone, the Unclaimed Property Division returned $1.2 million to rightful owners, including claims of $101,000 to an Omaha couple for a real estate refund, $130,000 to a Lincoln woman from her deceased brothers insurance, and $66,000 split between two brothers from their deceased uncles savings account.
In the 2013 report, we feature several Nebraskans who received unclaimed property through our office in the past year -- money they didnt know they had went to pay bills, buy season basketball tickets, repair a sewer line, celebrate students grades, and improve a rural community," he said.
Readers are encouraged to look for their own names as well as the names of relatives, businesses, and friends. Each name is listed by last-known county of residence. Readers who find their names or the names of their businesses or of deceased relatives should use one of the following methods to file claims:
Check the Nebraska State Treasurers website. Type a name in the box on the home page, or click on the Search for Unclaimed Property link in the left navigation pane. For amounts under $300, owners may be able to file their claims online through the website.
Call the Unclaimed Property Division at 1-877-572-9688 toll free outside of Lincoln or 402-471-8497 in Lincoln. Phone calls are taken between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.
