I try not to label myself, but this could also be because I don't ascribe to any singular system that has an established order of titles or hierarchy. I would label myself a neophyte in magick if I had to choose a label, but couldn't be sure when I would progress from such a label as I think on the spectrum of learning and become more adept at our craft we always have a near infinite way to go.
I do have an interest in Golden Dawn, of which I still have to get myself on a path of learning of the order.
Warlock is a term I don't fully understand, as it conjures imagery of war/warrior archetypes and my intentions in magic wouldn't align with such. Wizard brings imagery of very powerful telikinetic forces of which I do not have. Shaman doesn't seem to fit either, but I do have intentions in healing through magickal practices. I do like sorcerer, but seems much too advanced for me now. Witch may work, although many will associate it with the more feminine energy, whereas I prefer something more neutral, something all encompassing without duality overlays.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to give myself a label, or fit myself neatly into one Title, I feel too eclectic in my leanings to comprehend it at this stage. Because I have interest in Qabalah, I'm wondering if Qabalist would be fitting once I have more knowledge and abilities in this area.
Thanks for bringing this up as I'd be interested to hear what others have to say on this subject as well.

There is something to be said for treating the offline mode as a practice mode; even if you can't actually use powerups, just seeing the charts and recognizing certain track layouts and density paths can be useful in planning for runs. Particularly with respect to keeping an eye out for potentially huge Jackpot activation points. Plus, Blitz mode can be surprisingly lucrative if you get good enough at the mechanics of planning ahead for switches and dealing with the back-end timing window, and you could make the argument that without the distractions of powerups, you can actually still improve your overall play quite a bit just by "hitting moar notes."
Nobody of course is suggesting that this is a viable way to play the game in a general sense, but if you're unfortunately hit by this bug, it's not completely worthless to play offline anyway. I say this because right after release I actually intentionally played without powerups for WAY longer than I needed to in order to bank coins. When they changed the system and made that kind of grinding pointless, I was amazed at how quickly I was gold-starring just about everything I played. I really believe that the practice I got at focusing solely on staying in Blitz mode and efficiently clearing multipliers without the benefit of powerups paid real dividends when I finally got started using them.
But hopefully this will all be resolved soon and it will become a moot issue; until then, though, I think some people may be surprised how much some offline practice could actually help improve your game.

Collection Development Policy
University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries
Collection Development Policy
I. Our Research Mission
The UMass Amherst Libraries mission is to support the teaching and research efforts of the university. Communication between library liaisons and faculty to identify materials to support research and programmatic needs is central to acquiring resources that faculty and students need.
This policy provides a framework for the underlying principles and guidelines in the selection, acquisition, evaluation, and maintenance of library resources. It also helps to communicate the Libraries' policies concerning goals and methods to faculty, students, staff and users. As academic programs, information needs, and technology change, the Libraries remain committed to meeting new information demands.
II. Balancing the Collections
Until the last decade of the twentieth century, academic library collections primarily comprised print materials. The advent of electronic resources and the rising demand for access to them has shifted the focus of library collections. However, the basic goal remains: to provide the UMass Amherst community with the resources it needs to pursue academic excellence. The Libraries' collection development program has always strived to provide information in the most appropriate formats. When scholarly materials are available in multiple formats, the Libraries will normally acquire the material in only one format to efficiently steward the University's resources. There are instances, however, when having resources available in more than one format allows us to make the material accessible to library users when and where they need it.
III. Access Versus Ownership
Understanding that no one library can acquire materials to satisfy all of the needs of its users, the UMass Amherst Libraries are committed to providing access to materials we do not own through resource sharing and cooperative collection development agreements with other libraries. Integrating access to resources that are not part of the Libraries' collection is a necessity and provides the university community with access to a wider range of materials than the Libraries could ever hope to provide within our materials budget.
The UMass Amherst Libraries goal is to continue to integrate an approach to materials that includes a balance of traditional, locally owned materials along with access to materials that are not owned. Cost-efficient and best practice models will be incorporated into the decision-making process regarding access to information in all formats.IV. Collection Development Guideline
The Libraries adhere to the guidelines below:
Develop high quality, relevant and balanced collections to support and strengthen teaching and research.
Implement collection management policies to build and maintain print, electronic, and media resources to support information needs of the University.
Provide leadership in a team-based environment to plan, manage, and formulate policies, and to prioritize resources to develop balanced collections that meet new demands and evolving technologies.
Communicate with faculty to build on existing collection strengths where those align with current research and curricular needs and to develop awareness of new and evolving areas of scholarship.
Expand access to information through resource sharing and other cooperative agreements with libraries locally, regionally, nationally, and worldwide.
Share with faculty how they can make a difference with new scholarly communication models.
V. General Criteria
The following criteria apply to all materials. Particular criterion may assume greater or lesser importance depending on the type of materials under consideration or the subject matter covered.
- Curriculum and research need.
- Scope and content – comprehensiveness and depth of coverage.
- Scholarly value.
- Currency and timeliness.
- Computer books, especially computer manuals, published 4 years or before are not selected or purchased.
- Selection of older editions would only occur with valid reasons.
- Relevance to existing collections.
- Physical quality and/or special features.
- Availability of materials through Interlibrary Loan or document delivery.
- Inclusion in major indexing and abstracting tools or professional organization indexes.
- User-friendly search interface.
- Suitable for use on available hardware and platforms.
- Consistently reliable response time and overall technical performance.
- Cost – the purchase price as well as any on-going expense of maintaining access. Excessive cost may limit access.
- Mode of access available from the vendor (e.g., Internet, LAN, single workstation)
- Size of the potential audience
VI. Resources Collected
The UMass Amherst Libraries collect all manner of formats and materials which support the University's teaching and research. These materials may be physical (e.g., books, paper journals, microforms, maps, pamphlets, and music or video recordings) or digital (e.g., online access to citation and full-text databases, e-books, spoken-word, music or moving images).
VII. Resources Not Collected
The UMass Amherst Libraries do not collect materials in certain categories. These include but are not limited to: classroom texts, large-print books, or individual software packages. Ephemera are not acquired for the general circulating collection.
Material in outdated formats (e.g., Betamax tapes, floppy disks) is generally not collected. In limited cases, notably in conjunction with faculty requests, materials are accepted or purchased which require external support not provided by the library (PAL-system audio visual materials, for example).
VIII. Collection Maintenance and Evaluation
A. Preservation
The collections of the UMass Amherst Libraries, in addition to their intellectual and aesthetic value, represent a substantial economic investment. The responsibility to build research collections carries with it the obligation to ensure that these collections are permanently accessible. The Libraries are committed to the retention, preservation, and long-term access of the collections they hold in perpetuity, regardless of format.
Active participation and leadership in preserving the Libraries' collections is the responsibility of Library staff. Decisions on preservation of damaged materials and replacement of lost, stolen or damaged materials are based on use and condition of the materials, availability of the information in the same or other formats, and within the overall context of the Libraries' Collection Development Policy, balancing the constraints of cost, historical and aesthetic and scholarly value, and user accessibility.
Preservation of library material is accomplished through storage of materials in proper conditions, through careful handling and housing, through use of security systems designed to eliminate mutilation and theft, through commercial binding and rebinding, through commercial microfilming, through refreshment and migration of electronic files, and through repair or replacement of damaged materials. The Libraries' disaster response plan is reviewed and updated annually and a team of library personnel is trained for disaster response and salvage.
Materials of unique aesthetic or historical value should be preserved in their original form. Where costs, deterioration, or damage prevent the preservation of materials, attempts will be made to replace items valuable to the collection in reprinted editions or alternative formats. Continuing access to electronic titles cannot be guaranteed once the format in which they are published becomes technically obsolete. However, the Libraries support and participate in digital preservation research programs in order to address this issue in the longer term.
B. Deselection (Weeding)
Weeding is an integral part of the collection development process. Weeding helps keep the collection up-to-date by removing older editions, so there is room for newer materials that ensure the collection remains responsive to user needs and to optimize the use of space. The following factors are generally considered in the weeding of library materials:
1. Retention- Past usage data
- Value for historical research
- Last copy with archival value
2. Discard
- Multiple copies of older editions
- Superseded volumes of reference works
- Physical condition
C. Duplicates
Decisions to purchase multiple copies are based on heavy demand, either present or anticipated, due to class assignments, course reserves, status of a title or author, or high circulation of a title.
D. Replacement
1. Monographs
Library liaisons are responsible for making decisions regarding replacement of lost, damaged, missing, or worn-out Library monographs as funds permit. It is the responsibility of the appropriate subject selector to decide, within the guidelines of this policy, whether to replace a specific monograph or purchase a comparable one, and in what format.
Replacement is always preferred over rebinding for inexpensive in-print titles. Current editions are preferred over previous ones, unless the earlier edition has special distinguishing characteristics. It is usually desirable to replace monographs or serials in their same format; however, electronic or microform versions should be considered for extensive serial replacements.
2. Serials
Staff will identify lost, damaged, missing, or worn-out serials and notify Acquisitions. Decisions to replace annual, biennial, and irregular serials will be handled according to criteria set forth in this policy. The following serial items will not be replaced:
- Newspapers or newsletters unless a special need exists;
- Titles that are not retained permanently;
- Titles that are not indexed;
- Titles routinely replaced by microfilm.
E. Withdrawal of Materials
An item is discarded if it is worn, mutilated, or defective, and/or a decision has been made not to retain it.
F. Lost or Missing Materials
An item is declared officially lost and entered into circulation records as such after it has been reported lost by a borrower or presumed lost by the library. If a lost item is returned or a missing item is located after its records have been withdrawn, a decision concerning its addition to the collection will be made by the selector within the guidelines of this policy.
G. Gifts
The Libraries welcome donations of all types of recorded information which support the university's curricular and research programs. Gift materials, both individual items and collections, can be valuable additions to the Libraries' collections.
Because of space limitations in our libraries, we encourage donors to consult with library liaisons when planning to donate books and other printed or recorded material. Depending on the number of volumes being offered to the library, the Associate Director for Collection Services may request an on-site evaluation of the collection by the appropriate subject specialist before a determination to accept can be made. Materials that are judged to be more suitable to our special collections are referred to the Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives department.
All offers of gifts receive careful consideration and are evaluated in terms of the collection development goals of the Libraries (see especially sections IV-VI of this policy). Materials appropriate for the collection include: hardbound or good quality paperback scholarly monographs; music compact discs and scores; videos and DVD's. Materials that do not meet the Library's collection development goals will be disposed of through sale, exchange, donation, or discard.
Upon receipt, donated materials become the property of the Libraries. The decision to add gift materials to the collection will be made by subject specialists, the Head of Special Collections and University Archives, or the Associate Director for Collection Services in consultation with other Library staff as appropriate. In general gifts to which the donor has attached conditions, such as those concerning retention, housing, classification and use, will not be accepted for inclusion in the Library collection. Exceptions may be made for materials, primarily manuscripts and personal papers, which would be appropriately housed in the Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives department.
The Libraries encourage donors to obtain an independent appraisal of their gift's value for income tax purposes. United States Internal Revenue Service regulations prohibit librarians from acting as appraisers of materials given to their institutions. The Libraries will, however, assist in identifying appraisers for this purpose. Interested donors will be referred to the Libraries' Development Office for information about claiming tax deductions for donated materials. Donors may also wish to consult their personal attorney or tax advisor for further information and legal advice.
With the exception of unsolicited materials, gifts to the Library will be acknowledged in writing. Please refer to the Libraries' Gift Policy (http://www.library.umass.edu/giftpolicy.html) for further information.
H. Storage
Due to lack of sufficient space, the UMass Amherst Libraries must periodically remove volumes to off-site storage. The following factors are generally considered when moving material to off-site storage:
- The primary criterion is use, which is defined as actual and anticipated use, not just the number of times an item has circulated.
- Language itself is not a valid criterion. All materials, regardless of language, should be selected based on use.
- Date of publication by itself is not a valid criterion.
- Bibliographers and selectors should consider the teaching and research needs of faculty in selecting materials for transfer.
- Availability of the material in another medium, such as electronic or microform, may be an appropriate criterion in some cases.
- How easily the format or size of an item, an oversized book or items other than printed monographs and serials, may be accommodated.
- The availability of online records or other adequate bibliographic access should be considered in selecting materials.
- Bibliographers and selectors should consider the physical condition when reviewing materials. Fragile materials could be damaged by the move to off-site storage and delivery to campus. Conversely, the environmental conditions in off-site storage may be beneficial for other materials that are not housed in optimum conditions.
- The retention of duplicate copies for materials sent to off-site storage should be avoided.
- Staffing, hours of operation, and users being able to consult materials onsite at the off-site storage facility may be factors in the decision to select materials to relocate.
- Errors will be made. Even with the best intentions and effort on the part of the selectors, some selection decisions may result in the assignment of library materials more appropriately shelved on campus. Such assignments will be addressed whenever they are identified.

Prices are typically higher
Prices are typically higher in Canada than in the United States. Little wonder - there is not a level playing field. Canadian businesses pay higher taxes, wages and land prices. We have more stringent quality standards, environmental standards and labour benefits. These all have benefits to society but they cost the business money. Canadian dairy farmers do not have subsidies from the government which U.S. dairy farmers have so Canadians pay only at the grocery store for their dairy products, not at the grocery store and through their taxes.

Newsflash. The taxpayer and
Newsflash. The taxpayer and the consumer are the same person. Whether money is taken from that person in the form of taxes or Government mandates, there is no difference. It comes from the same pocket.

You are completely, dangerously, and horribly, incorrect
Taxpayers and consumers are definitely NOT the same person, and there is a huge, and extremely-critical, difference between money government gives to producers raised from tax revenue, and money producers receive from the mandated usage of something. For example, corporations are not consumers, yet they are taxpayers, and quite significant taxpayers at that. In addition, consumption taxes, as manifested by tariff-based entities like supply management, are regressive (as well as always net-negative for jobs) because, as a percentage of their net incomes, poor consumers pay disproportionately the most, rich consumers pay disproportionately the least, and corporations pay nothing.

re-upholstering the deck chairs on the dairy "Titanic"
This whole matter is completely-insane. Why should Canadian consumers, especialy poor ones, be forced to forever shoulder the burden of milk prices which were found to be 79% higher in Quebec than in New York State? Even more insane is that dairy farmers are worried that this import permit will "undercut" them in the short term, yet they are not concerned in the slightest that supply management, and its 237% tariff barriers, by definition, undercuts every other sector of agriculture in the long term. For the good of the farm community, and for the good of Canadian consumers, we can't get rid of the albatross of supply management soon enough.

A pallet of 1 gallon jugs of milk was being attacked by a constant barrage of shoppers.
The containers were plasti-wrapped into groups of two.
They taped the trunk of a car and there were at least 8 or 10 jugs of milk along with 4 jerri cans of fuel - at least I assume it was fuel....

It's because dairy keeps flaunting their double-standards
For some reason, chicken and egg farmers seem to realize that they're on the receiving end of a regressive consumption tax levied disproportionately on poor consumers, and they also seem to realize they've pitted farmers against one another by being able to do so - therefore, they tend to keep their "laundry" private. Dairy farmers, on the other hand, seem to have so little regard for either consumers or other farmers that they just don't care who they offend as long as the money keeps rolling in.

Work on Chatham fitness complex could start in spring
CHATHAM - Barring any snags in negotiations, construction could start this spring on a proposed indoor swimming pool, fitness center and sports medicine clinic near Glenwood High School. The negotiations began after the Ball-Chatham School Board decided Monday to pursue a partnership with FitClub and St. John's Hospitalto use the proposed complex, which would be built on school district property. Plans include a swimming pool with diving well, a family fitness center and an AthletiCare facility. District officials say a 25-year lease is being considered. Terms will be brought to the board for final approval, possibly in the next 30 to 40 days. The agreement would include putting the property back on tax rolls. Dr. Kevin Imhoff, CEO and owner of FitClub, said the goal is to open the facility in time for the 2012-13 school year. Different site Imhoff plans to meet with his builder on Monday to discuss moving the complex's location farther east of Glenwood High to property off of Iron Bridge Road, a request made by the school board to accommodate traffic and safety concerns. The building originally was proposed to go next to Glenwood High School. "It will give us more space for St. John's to bring in dermatology and other specialty positions to their offerings, and then FitClub will have the ability to put a deck and splash pad (outside the pool area)," Imhoff said of the new location. H&I Real Estate, FitClub's real estate arm, would build and own the facility and lease the property back to FitClub, St. John's and the school district, Imhoff said. The district expects to pay $21,000 per month to cover utilities, equipment and staffing for 40 hours of weekly pool usage guaranteed to the district. Ball-Chatham pays $10,000 a year now to use Eisenhower Pool in Springfield for its swimming and diving teams. Some balk Some opponents have balked at the cost difference. Ball-Chatham parent Lisa DeClue says she believes the district could get a better deal. "As I see it, we're letting Fit Club and AthletiCare build on our land and allowing them to then charge us exorbitantly for the use of the pool they dug on our ground and built a profitable business around," DeClue said. During Monday's meeting, board member John Kwedar said Springfield Park District officials told him maintenance alone of Eisenhower Pool costs more than $150,000 a year. "That doesn't include the facility management, and that's almost $15,000 a month," he said. School board president Jim Neuses also pointed out that $21,000 a month cost is about one-half of 1 percent of the district's annual budget. The district's total budgeted expenditures for fiscal 2012 total $51.7 million School Superintendent Bob Gillum said district officials haven't determined how the district will cover the lease payment. "One of the things we balance is the educational value versus are we purely paying to offset the maintenance costs," he said. "The reality is, it's some of both." He said the district could charge a fee for programs such proposed swim lessons for first-grade students. "Those kinds of revenues would be charged at the time of registration, like book rental," he said. He said Imhoff also is open to discussion of profit-sharing if membership in the Chatham facility grows. During summer months when the district is not using its allotted pool time, Imhoff has offered to split revenue from FitClub pool programming with the district. "The one thing we can't answer that people keep asking me is the 'what if,'" Gillum said about the potential for the complex to fail. "There's always a risk. You can't guarantee anything for the future." Imhoff said he understands some of the opponents'concerns. "A lot of negativity that you see associated with the project is people that have their own agendas and reasons for not wanting the project to go forward and having that money go elsewhere," he said. "I think overwhelmingly, the community is pretty excited about the project." Amanda Reavy can be reached at 788-1525. *** Student safety The proposed construction of a public health club on Glenwood High School's campus prompted numerous questions about student safety. Dr. Kevin Imhoff, CEO and owner of FitClub, said his business does not perform background checks on individual members, but does check names against the state's database of registered sex offenders. Existing FitClubs offer only adult programming, so sex offenders are not excluded from the clubs, he said. "But they are not allowed in during childcare hours," Imhoff said. Since the proposed Chatham facility would host youth programs, sex offenders would not be allowed at that location at any time. FitClub facilities are equipped with security cameras, Imhoff said. *** Community usage If built, FitClub's proposed Chatham location would be open to all FitClub members. Membership rates are $63 per month for one year or $53 per month for two years. Some Ball-Chatham School District residents have questioned how taxpayers could access the pool facility without becoming members. Imhoff said he plans a daily fee option for non-FitClub members to use the pool, including some type of punch card for multiple visits. He's also offered to provide memberships and daily pool rates at half-price to students who qualify for free or reduced-cost lunches. Imhoff said his club probably will offer swim lessons beyond what the schools provide, as well as water aerobics classes and open swim times. Imhoff said "a very small percentage" of members take advantage of all facilities, and he expects that will also be true for the Chatham site. FitClub already has 700-plus members from Chatham. Without the partnership from St. John's Hospital and the school district, he would not build a club in Chatham, Imhoff said. *** Unique programming A Ball-Chatham School District team that analyzed the academic and health benefits of a proposed pool and fitness center on district property said it would provide services not offered at any other school in the area. Mostof the team's discussions centered on how to provide swimming lessons to students, said team leader Chris Becker, Glenwood High School's associate principal. The team recommends offering swim lessons to all first-grade students, based on recommendations from the American Red Cross. FitClub could provide swim instructors at a ratio of one for every five students, though the cost has not been determined. Other programs deemed feasible include lectures from St. John's physicians, job shadow programs, water therapies for special education students and CPR classes. Here is a full list of proposed programs and services. Copyright 2011 The State Journal-Register. Some rights reserved

Overlooking Sebago Lake and Mount Washington on the horizon, the clean air, sparkling water and nestling tall trees of Migis create a nurturing place for your soul.

Chicco Together is the ideal stroller for twins or siblings who are similar in age.
Comes complete with an innovative anchor device for the Key Fit 0+ Car Seat (not included) providing maximum versatility for the front seat or rear seat, or even both of them together, ideal if they are twins.
The seats are spacious and comfy, they both have a safety bumper bar and a foot rest for extra comfort.
The pushchair includes 2 sunshade/hoods, a spacious shopping basket, dual matching leg cover and a full-cover rain hood. Rear seat approved for use by infants from birth, the front seat is approved for use by infants from 6 months onwards (this can also be used from birth when combined with the Key Fit child car seat not included).
Ideal for twins when with the car seat. Haven't actually used it yet due to the twins not arriving until March. But I've had a play and it really is good. Seems easy to use even with my 2 and half year old in it. A little bulky though but that is expected!

Shadowy ping-pong virtuosos rack up impressive two million YouTube views and announce upcoming season of stunts sure to push the boundaries of crazy, dangerous stunts even further
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For over a year the mysterious performance group Tumba Ping Pong Show has caught viewers' attention on YouTube with their impressive ping-pong tricks. Each film creates more questions than answers and information about the group is scarce and sketchy. Now Swedish YouTube MCN, United Screens, is confident that they have signed with the group of artists.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131016/PH98573-b )
The past two days the group's latest video, Miss Ping, has caught the attention of over two million viewers, this after they appeared in international and Swedish media. The group seems to consist of six people who most likely are based in Tumba (as indicated by their name). The media describes them as Swedes, so it should be Tumba in Stockholm, although there are also places called Tumba found in Angola, Macedonia and Serbia.
"We're really happy to sign with United Screens. Or at least I am, sometimes it's hard to tell if the team is happy or not. I got a few thumbs up from the team, and that is usually a good thing," says Jim Fitzgerald, spokesperson for Tumba Ping Pong Show
Tumba Ping Pong Show has posted YouTube videos since 2011 but has recently met an increased international interest. Last Sunday they figured in the South American channel Globo, the world's second largest TV channel, in the program Detetive Virtual, who tried to crack the mystery behind their films.
"We are impressed with Tumba Ping Pong Show. After each video, we sit and wonder how they managed to do the trick. We have met with one of the artists that we have seen in their videos, and we got this quote for the release from a man who calls himself Jim Fitzgerald. So I'm quite confident that we have signed an agreement with Tumba Ping Pong show for United Screens," says Malte Andreasson, Director of programming, United Screens.
The mysterious group has gained increasing international attention and is to appear in a major U.S. show during this autumn. The group has announced that they are working on a third season of stunts that will further push the boundaries for what is considered crazy and dangerous. The first two seasons of stunts can be found at www.youtube.com/tumbapingpongshow

its been that schitling38 guy. hes bumped like 5 threads and its annoying me tooOriginally Posted by Buzah!
One more point on Cole, if you listen to certain posters, you would believe that Cole not going here was the worst decision ever. Something to keep in mind, Tampa who needed a catcher, for financial reasons, decided not to draft Buster Posey, and instead went for Tim Beckham. If you put Posey on that team, they would be World Series favorites this year, and if they don't win in the next five years, that one decision could be the one they will live to regret.Originally Posted by Matsui55
hs pitchers are hs pitchers. risky and upside. it's just that in theory the yankees can absorb the risks long term.
oy vey
The easiest way to achieve success, for a small market team, is to be willing to take chances, and draft guys that have a higher upside and a higher risk, and quite often a pricetag. This is what the Royals, Pirates & Jays are doing. Teams like the Mets & Cubs who will not use their market strength, and spend money, are putting themselves right behind the eight ball.Originally Posted by awy
well yea, for teams who are willing to "eat" fail years and rebuild, upside is pretty much the only way to go. but upside is still the better strategy for teams like the yankees who can absorb the volatility of risky bets.
the way baseball handles club control of prospects is a relic of the plantation era. i am sorta of hoping the pa would do something about it.
oy vey
Most would consider AA and AAA the upper levels of the minors and most would consider Romine's performance this year in AA a success.Originally Posted by BennyTheJetRodriguez
It is nothing like a "Plantation Era". Minor Leagues serve a very useful purpose as far as player development is concerned (The NFL & NBA don't have that problem because the Colleges do that for them). Players are not slaves, they do not have to sign with a team. They can choose to attend college (Note the word choose, it means to elect to do something, not be forced into it). For example: Robert Segedin probably will not sign with the Yankees. It makes sense perfect sense for him not to, because he attends an excellent Academic University (Tulane), and he would either have to switch positions, or be stuck behind Alex Rodriguez at 3rd if he would sign. Either condition would require a major sacrifice on his end, so he likely won't.Originally Posted by awy
they are paid peanuts and are essentially owned by the teams.

Then I would disagree with most. Dudes hitting .270 with a .338 OBP and a SLG% barely over .400. I'm not saying that he's terrible or that he isn't a good prospect, but its a regression and even in that park those aren't special numbers.Originally Posted by primetime714

All cars with other than stock fuel system shall have a fuel
shut-off within the driver's reach. Electric fuel pumps shall
have a switch in the crcuit to disable the pump operation. All
electric fuel pumps shall have an inertial or other positive
"shut off switch" e.g. microprocessor controlled , or
oil pressure switch.
This rule also applies to motorcycle streamliners 7.H.8.
I dont have a complete grasp of the rule ,
This is what I'm reading into it ..... In the case of an event (engine failure or crash ) fuel will no longer be required and will need to be shut down without driver /rider input ,thus being controlled by a" microprocessor " (I do know what one is, but like a lawn mower ,its only true design function is to "piss you off ") so lets move right along to the "oil pressure switch" Once oil pressure is lost the switch deactivates the pump or operates a soleniod that shuts down the fuel supply to the pump ( either, or )
2 cents anybody

We moved our 2-year old from the crib to the big-girl bed and she gets up and out several times a night and eventually finds her way into our bedroom. Has anyone dealt with similar circumstances and if so, what did you do?
Hopefully this is a phase, but until then you may want to consider a small baby gate designed to keep her safely in her room at night. I hated the thought of my toddler walking through the house unsupervised at night, so we had to use a safety gate. Good luck!
MommyRN4 - smart move. I'll remember that one when we switch our little guy out to a big boy bed. :-)
It's definitely a concern of our middle one wandering the house. Problem is, she's a climber and easily scales over safety gates! We had one near the stairs, but she climbs that as well, so we took it away because we were afraid she would fall climbing over it. It's like having a ring-tailed lemur for a daughter!

Adler, Alfred
Alfred Adler 1870-1937
Austrian psychologist.
Adler is remembered both for his role in the early development of psychoanalysis and for his theories relating to "individual psychology," which stresses the essential unity and uniqueness of every individual and his or her "life-pattern." Many of the tenets of Adler's individual psychology, such as the importance of the "inferiority feeling" in character development, have become conventional psychological principles.
Biographical Information
Adler was born in a suburb of Vienna, Austria, to a prosperous middle-class Jewish family. As a young child he suffered from rickets and pneumonia, which spurred both his interest in the medical profession and his psychological insights into "organ inferiority" and the "inferiority feeling." After graduating from the Medical School of the University of Vienna in 1895, Adler began his career as a private practitioner, developing from the start a conception of the relationship of medical to psychological dysfunction, and in turn of psychological to social problems. In 1902 Adler joined and became a prominent member of Sigmund Freud's Vienna circle of psychoanalysts. Adler, however, was never a patient or a disciple of Freud, and fundamentally disagreed with him about the centrality of sexual trauma in the development of mental illness. In 1911, Adler broke away from Freud and founded the "Society for Free Psychoanalysis." He also began advocating his own system of "individual psychology." Adler's Über den nervösen Charakter (The Neurotic Constitution) was rejected as a post-doctoral dissertation by the medical faculty at the University of Vienna, which left Adler to lecture on psychology at continuing-education institutions for adults. Such appointments, however, were consistent with Adler's lifelong concern over social issues, as was his founding in 1919 of a pioneering "child-guidance" clinic in Vienna. In 1926 Adler accepted a visiting professorship at Columbia University in New York, thereby beginning an international career as a popular teacher, lecturer, and writer. In 1935, due to the rise of nazism, Adler moved his family to the United States. He died in 1937, during the course of a European lecture tour.
Major Works
Adler's first major work was Studie über die Minderwertigkeit von Organen (Study of Organ Inferiority and Its Psychical Compensation), which stressed the role that real and perceived physical inferiority played in spurring the child, as a form of compensation, to self-assertion and a quest for superiority. Adler's subsequent The Neurotic Constitution defines neurosis as the unsatisfactory, anti-social, or delusional enactment of this psychic self-assertion. In 1912 Adler founded the Zeitschrift für Individualpsychologie (Journal for Individual Psychology), which has continued publication under various forms. In Menschenkenntnis (Understanding Human Nature), which was written for a more popular audience, Adler focused on work, community, and sex as the primary components of human experience. Adler's concern with child-rearing and early education—the stages, according to Adlerian theory, in which individual psychology is molded—was reflected in publications such as The Education of Children. In later writings such as What Life Should Mean to You and Der Sinn des Lebens (Social Interest), Adler increasingly stressed the role that social and communal instincts play in tempering self-assertion and securing mental health.

[In the following review, Kallen offers a skeptical summary of Adler's system of individual psychology.]
Nowadays, when people talk of the "new psychology," they mean prevailingly the ideas about the human mind deriving from the work of Freud and his associates. Although the custom is to lump this work in a single, solid, homogeneous mass, it is, in fact, still nebular, with three definite heads distinguishable in it. At the centre is the system of human nature constructed and stated, more or less architecturally, by Freud himself and accepted as the incontrovertible orthodoxy by the congregation of the faithful. To the right and to the left are the heterodoxies of Jung, the Swiss, and Adler, the Austrian. Both heterodoxies consist primarily in a rejection or deprecation of the cardinal orthodox dogma regarding the supreme role of sexuality in the life of man from birth to death. Jung absorbs this sexuality in a prior and wider stream of activity which turns his speculations regarding human nature into a metaphysical sentimentalism of the type of Eucken or Bergson. Adler subordinates this sexuality to a prior and wider "will-to-power" which allies his speculations concerning human nature with a metaphysical voluntarism of the type of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Vaihinger. Both philosophers of mind differ...

[In the following essay, Vaughan provides a survey of the tenets of Adler's psychological system.]
The heterodox nature of the Freudian psychology and the authoritative, dogmatic manner of its presentation, both favored the rise of spirited opposition in its train. Prominent among the secessionists are Jung and Adler. Jung has gained a wide audience for his theories through the attractive literary form in which they have been advanced. Adler has been less fortunate in a literary way, for his heavy, involved style has obscured a system of psychology which, on its merits, deserves a larger public than it has reached. Convinced of the value of Adler's contribution, I believe it worthwhile to survey the principal tenets of his system in such a lucid manner as to awaken the interest of the general psychologist. I have selected those aspects of his theory that bear particularly upon the understanding of normal personality.
Adler approaches the problems of psychopathology through what he calls the "Individual-Psychological" method. The task of psychoanalysis is to look for the life purpose of the individual, since it is in the service of this ideal that the symptoms assume their meaning. The...

[In the following review, Blumer provides an assessment of three Adlerian themes: the inferiority feeling, the life-pattern, and the nature of character.]
Of all psychiatrists Dr. Adler seems to be most akin to sociologists in spirit and perspective. In earlier works he has shown a keen appreciation of the rôle of social relations in personal development; in [Understanding Human Nature], which is constructed out of a series of popular lectures, we have the simplest and clearest picture of these views.
Amid a wealth of varied and valuable discussion his central theses are easily isolated. They are essentially three: the basic importance of the inferiority feeling, the presence in each of us of a life-pattern, and the appearance of character traits as expressions of the life-pattern. The conception of the inferiority relation scarcely needs any stating.
Every child acquires a feeling of inferiority because of "his inability to cope single-handed with the challenges of his existence." From this feeling of inferiority arises the life-pattern. The feeling of inferiority "determines the very goal of his existence and prepares the path along which this goal may be reached." 'I t is this goal which gives value to our sensations, which...

[In the following review, Watson contrasts Adler's stress on social cooperation to the sexual theories of Freud and the metaphysics of Jung.]
No statement on the meaning of life from Dr. Adler can avoid comparison with the statements of Freud and Jung, yet it seems strange that these writers should so consistently neglect each other's conclusions, and should follow exclusively, with what seems an almost compulsive energy, their own lines of thought. Dr. Jung has more than either of the others made allowance for his rivals, and, in relegating them to different types, has admitted their use and function. Dr. Adler in this last of his numerous publications [What Life Should Mean to You] seems completely satisfied with his own view, which has the undeniable advantage of standing firm and four-square on the ground of common sense. There is much kindly wisdom and a well-nigh convincing assurance in the way in which he answers his own categorical statement: What Life Should Mean to You. Co-operation is his panacea, and in every chapter he emphasizes the importance of co-operation in curing all human ills. Yet in judging of his book we cannot forget the emphasis with which Freud or Jung would stress other means to the satisfying of man's nature; each portrays a different aspect, each...

[In the following excerpt, which was originally published in Spanish in 1936, Brachfeld situates Adler's conception of human nature within the context of a social and philosophical debate over degeneracy.]
In Levin D. Schucking's work The Sociology of Literary Taste we possess an able, if incomplete, study of the changes of fashion in the domain of literature. But no one so far has attempted to give an account of the formation and development of taste in psychological matters. And yet psychology is a popular science nowadays, especially in America, and, by ricochet, throughout the world. The cult has had its repercussion on literary fashion. Hence the vogue for Kafka and Proust in the United States, with the result that these authors' works, somewhat neglected during the last twenty years, are now being displayed in all the European bookstalls. The psychology of Adler has undergone a similar revival, all the more salutary as it was still far from being appreciated at its true worth.
The conception of 'feelings of inferiority' is now inseparably connected with the name of Alfred Adler, and we shall have, therefore, to deal at some length with the body of his theories. His contribution to sociology will be the...

[In the following review, the critic provides an overview of Adler's life, career, and writings.]
Since Freud's death in 1939 psycho-analysis has certainly not remained stationary. Although the basic method has changed little, several of the major Freudian ideas have undergone considerable revision. In particular, serious attempts have been made to shake off the doctrine of instinct and to replace it by new conceptions of inter-personal relationship. There has also been a shift of interest from the unconscious mechanisms supposed to underlie neurosis to the defences evolved by the personality in counteracting them. In Freudian parlance, the focus of attention is no longer the id but the ego.
The changing outlook in psychoanalysis has led to a revival of interest in the work of one of its long-rejected pioneers—Alfred Adler. This is clearly appreciated by Dr. H. L. and Dr. R. R. Ansbacher, the editors of a carefully chosen and thoughtfully presented selection of Adler's works. As they rightly point out, the modern emphasis upon social rather than biological issues, upon character rather than instinct and upon self-expression rather than sex, has brought many neo-Freudians close to the Adlerian position. Although this suggestion will be indignantly repudiated by many who have...

[In the following essay, Beecher and Beecher outline the insights into human nature gained from their association with Adler.]
The tallest measure of a man is the effect that he has on the lives of others. And the deepest measure of his value lies in what they learn from him in terms of enduring wisdom—the kind that helps them when critical forks-in-the-road confront them. In the few years that we were fortunate enough to share with Alfred Adler before he died he revealed some monumental truths to us. He gave us a give of the comprehensive as well as the particular aspects of human behavior. The greatest honor we can pay him at this time is to share with others that which he helped us to see through his vision. It is our hope that it will not die with us and that it may be of some help to others.
We learned from him essentially:
- That the individual's approach to life is a result of early self-training due to his interpretation of his situation. He can change it in later years only if he realizes that his disturbing, conditioned responses are nothing more than inappropriate, inadequate holdovers from childhood. The-adult is expected to replace such behavior with more useful responses to be a help and not a burden. He...

[In the following excerpt, Karier offers a study of Adler's life and intellectual legacy.]
In the early morning hours of a day in late May 1937, Alfred Adler lay prostrate on a cobblestone street in Aberdeen, Scotland, stricken by a fatal heart attack. When, very much moved by the news, Arnold Zweig reported Adler's death to Sigmund Freud, the latter is said to have replied: "I don't understand your sympathy for Adler. For a Jew boy out of a Viennese suburb a death in Aberdeen is an unheard-of career in itself and a proof of how far he had got on. The world really rewarded him richly for his service in having contradicted psychoanalysis." For twenty-six years, Freud had nurtured a bitter hatred for Alfred Adler, cringing with each report of his former pupil's success. Why this was so is a complicated issue, owing to the existential circumstances and the characters and personalities of the people involved.
Adler was noteworthy on Freud's long list of friends who became his enemies. He was the first to break ranks from the Wednesday Society (later the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society) and the first to create a counter-movement. From 1902, when the Wednesday Society was formed, until 1911, when the final break with Freud...

[In the following excerpt, Hoffman discusses a number of Adler's later publications in terms of their political context.]
The spring of 1930 saw the release of [Adler's] three new books, all aimed at a relatively popular audience. These were The Pattern of Life, Guiding the Child, and The Education of Children. Their nearly simultaneous publication in the United States clearly reflected Adler's own shift in professional emphasis from Europe to his present base of activity.
Based on his demonstration lectures at the New School two years before, The Pattern of Life presented twelve cases of schoolchildren with differing types of emotional difficulty, such as conduct disorders or extreme shyness. Many of the youngsters came from immigrant families (Italian, Jewish, or Slavic) populous in New York City during the 1920s and were of decidedly lower socioeconomic background. Yet, similar to Adler's other writings during this period, The Pattern of Life had little to say about cultural or economic factors that might be affecting such pupils. It was edited by the young psychiatrist Walter Beran Wolfe, who also provided a lucid overview of...

President Barack Obama and his allies raised nearly $85 million in August, outpacing Romney's haul in the month which saw both parties' national conventions, campaign finance paperwork filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission showed.
Obama's campaign spent heavily in the month, too, with their haul of $84.8 million just surpassing their $83.7 million in August spending.
His campaign ended the month with $87.7 million cash on hand, passing Romney's $50 million cash on hand at the end of August.
In July, Obama raised $75 million.
Obama's campaign allies at the Obama Victory Fund supplemented his campaign's haul with an additional $39.6 million. Obama is allowed to fund-raise and spend in conjunction with the Victory Fund, while coordinating with some other groups, such as super PACs, is prohibited.
Both candidates ended the month with debt on their balance sheets.
The Obama campaign owed money to vendors, the largest of that amount - $1.6 million - being due to an advertizing agency whose website says it was founded by members of Obama's 2008 digital team.
Romney's debt was in the form of a loan taken to tide over his campaign before general election funds became available in after the party's conventions.
