FORT WORTH -- Bobby Wayne Abshire died the same way he lived -- as a hero.
A Marine who did three tours in Vietnam, the Fort Worth native received the Navy Cross in 1967 for jumping from a helicopter while under heavy gunfire to rescue 23 wounded soldiers.Later, as a Fort Worth firefighter, he was honored for helping to save the life of a toddler who had fallen into a fish pond.His final act of bravery came in the early morning hours of June 9, 1984.Abshire, 41, was off duty when he stopped to help a man whose car had stalled on Airport Freeway. He and the motorist were walking in the grass when an intoxicated driver lost control of his car and barreled their way.Abshire pushed the stranded motorist out of the way, but he was hit by the car and died a short time later."In the military they teach you to lay your life on the line and that's what he did. It was instinct," said his brother, Dale Abshire. "He didn't think when he pushed that guy out of the way. It was just instinct."Wednesday, more than 28 years after his heroic death, Abshire's name was added to the Fort Worth Police and Firefighters Memorial, joining 38 other firefighters, 56 Fort Worth police officers, and three deputy marshals who have lost their lives in the line of duty.'An inspiration to all'Though 14 months younger, Dale Abshire had towered over his older brother since they were very young -- a fact that often drew ribbing from relatives and provoked fights between the two siblings."Forever he practiced his fighting skills on me," Dale Abshire said with a laugh. "My dad use to tell other fireman, forget going to the Golden Gloves. He said just bring a six-pack over here; we'll put Bobby and Dale in the back yard. We'll have a much better fight."Dale Abshire said while his height gave him the advantage, one day he decided to let his older brother win and earned a life lesson in doing so."We started fighting. He got me in a headlock and I said, 'I've had enough. I've had enough. You win!'" Dale Abshire recalled. "He said, 'No. I'll tell you when you've had enough.' He said, 'This fight is not over till I say it's over.'"I've tried to live my life under that philosophy."While Dale Abshire excelled in sports, his brother's talents were in ROTC and chess. He graduated from Polytechnic High School in 1961 and that summer enlisted in the MarinesIn his nine years in the military, Abshire did three tours in Vietnam, first on the ground and the last two as a helicopter crew chief doing medical evacuations.He received the Navy Cross -- the nation's second-highest medal for meritorious combat service -- for a May 1966 mission near Da Nang, Vietnam, where he made numerous trips, carrying and loading wounded and dead soldiers into the helicopter despite being under enemy fire."On one occasion, he swiftly silenced an enemy machine gun with accurate fire from a grenade launcher," the medal citation reads. "His fearless and determined efforts contributed in large measure to the success of the mission, in which twenty-three casualties were evacuated. His courage in the face of hostile fire and his compassion for his wounded comrades were an inspiration to all who observed him."'It's about time'After leaving the military, Abshire followed in the footsteps of his father, Fort Worth fire Capt. Colbert Abshire. He joined the department and graduated top in his recruit class.He later received the Fire Department's Meritorious Fire Serve Award for performing CPR and helping save the life of a boy who had fallen in a fishpond behind his grandfather's Fort Worth wrecker service on Aug. 31, 1974.Jack Armstrong III, now 40 and living in Keller, doesn't remember the day that he was pulled, not breathing, from the water by his father and grandfather, who performed CPR until Abshire arrived and took over.Still, he has heard the story so many times over the years and has seen the photograph of Abshire holding him that ran with a Star-Telegram article about the firefighter's award that it seems like his own memory."He was a hero and it's about time they did something for these firemen," Armstrong said on learning Abshire's name was being added to the memorial wall.Last time they talkedWhen not working as a firefighter, Abshire had worked part time for his brother as an insurance underwriter, setting a record for most sales in the Fort Worth office.Dale Abshire remembers dialing the office about 11 one night to try out a new phone he'd received for his birthday. He was surprised when his brother answered."I said, 'What are you still doing at the office?'" Abshire said.Abshire said he was preparing for a meeting the new day with a big client and wanted to make sure he had everything right.It would be their last phone conversation."Four o'clock in the morning his wife called me," Dale Abshire said. "She said he hadn't come home and she was looking for him. She'd said she'd already drove over to the office and he wasn't there."Dale Abshire said he was about to leave the house to search himself when the phone rang again with the Fire Department's chaplain on the line."I just said, 'Is he dead?' and he said, 'Yes, he is,'" Dale Abshire said, choking up.The man who struck Abshire, Wayne L. Whitlock, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison.'He's truly a hero'Kevin Foster, a retired Fort Worth police sergeant and chairman of the memorial's board, had researched the fallen officers and firefighters whose names are on the memorial but only learned about Abshire about a month ago when reading an old newspaper article."I regularly mine newspaper records and other historical records looking for people that might have been missed," Foster said.He and David Griffin, an engineer with the Fire Department, dug more into Abshire's past and, earlier this month, the memorial's board voted to include him on the monument.Current and retired firefighters -- including some who had worked alongside Abshire and others who never knew him but simply came to show their respect -- gathered with Dale Abshire on Wednesday afternoon to watch as workers sandblasted Abshire's name and date of death into the memorial wall's black granite."He's truly a hero," Dale Abshire. "Truly always was."Deanna Boyd, 817-390-7655Twitter: @deannaboydHave more to add? News tip? Tell us

April 25, 2000 Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières is an international humanitarian medical organization working around the world in over 80 countries, assisting the most vulnerable. Our experience with HIV/AIDS started in the late 80's.For a decade, we focused exclusively on prevention programs, constrained by the unavailability of treatment options. In 1997 we were running 30 projects, in majority aimed at prevention, only 4 countries with a curative component. This was the public health thing to do, given the need to slow down the epidemic and to accommodate the constraint of the unreasonable costs of curative options. But it become progressively an untenable position, humanly, socially, and in medical ethics terms. We know now that we must recognize the limits of public health reasoning, in particular for this pathology. We have patients before us and their numbers are crying out to us. These are patients who do not have access to effective treatments established here or in Europe. The logic of cost-effectiveness is too often is put first in the fight against Aids in developing countries – placing emphasis on prevention rather than curative care. But hospital beds in sub-Saharan Africa are filled with patients considered incurable for whom treatments nevertheless exist! We support the arguments of cost effectiveness when it is a question of proving that a measles vaccination is ultimately less expensive than the response to an epidemic. But in the case of AIDS we have to understand that this type of reasoning is simply inhuman, especially when it reinforces the total indifference of the rich countries with respect to the 30 million people currently infected in the economically disadvantaged world. We are now focusing on the curative challenge in East and Southern Africa, South East Asia, and Central America. And rather than accept the constraints, we're challenging them. THE ISSUE OF INFRASTRUCTUREMany, and especially the industry, argue that the worst affected countries do not have the infrastructure or medical expertise to adequately administer the complex regimen of HIV/AIDs drugs. This is true… to some extent. Our response to this issue is several folds.
THE MSF ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL MEDICINES CAMPAIGNTo address the crisis in access to critical drugs for communicable diseases including HIV/AIDS but also such neglected diseases as Sleeping Sickness, Kala Azar and others, MSF has launched the Access to Essential Medicines Campaign. The first issue is ensuring there is adequate research efforts around neglected diseases. Research for such communicable diseases as tuberculosis and malaria has ground to a halt. Between 1975 and 1997 out of 1,223 new drugs developed only 13 (1%) were to treat tropical diseases. Only four of these were the result of human R&D activities of the pharmaceutical industry. Even when effective treatments exist, as they do for diseases like multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and many AIDS-related infections, when lifesaving medicines are available, they are simply too expensive, due in large part to patent protection and pricing strategies aligning on the wealthiest markets. A lucrative market for lifesaving drugs addressing infectious diseases simply does not exist in the developing world despite the fact that more than 90 percent of all deaths and suffering from infectious diseases occurs there. In summary, our patients are dying, not because their diseases are incurable, but because as consumers, they do not provide a viable market for pharmaceutical products. Clearly, market forces alone are not enough to address the need for affordable medicines or to stimulate research and development for neglected diseases. Our intuition was that progress would come from a confluence of efforts: public mobilization, public-private partnerships and regulation. Two years ago, we initiated a campaign to develop "Access to Essential Medicine", partnering with activists groups, academics, philanthropic institutions, corporate interest groups (drug manufacturers and associations), the media and governmental institutions such as the World Bank to stimulate development and appropriate pricing of drugs for the developing world. Together we must ensure that trade of essential medicines is regulated in the interest of public health. We are not questioning the importance of patents in stimulating research and development, but rather we are insisting that a balance be found between protecting intellectual property and ensuring individuals' access to medicines. And we are seeking to provide an impetus for both policy development and practical solutions to specific access problems. Our campaign is developed around three key directions:
STIMULATING RESEARCHThe reason for the research gap is clear: drugs for tropical diseases are not profitable for drug companies. The pharmaceutical industry is focusing investment to meet the needs of people living in wealthy countries and increasingly funds research devoted to lifestyle diseases. Our campaign seeks to communicate the urgent need for new treatments for communicable diseases ignored by industry. We are challenging the drug industry's attitude, at most charitable (donations programs) but not yet responsible, and we are inviting developed countries, international organisations and non-governmental organisations to help fill the void. OVERCOMING ACCESS BARRIERSMany drugs are too expensive for those in the developing world to buy. Other life-saving treatments are not available because manufacturers have abandoned production in favour of making more profitable drugs for customers in wealthy countries. This second effort of our campaign is attempting to increase accessibility to specific treatments. To achieve this, we:
HUMANIZING TRADE AGREEMENTSThe emerging global trade system, which sets the rules for how products are sold within and between countries, treats medicines like all other products. This needs to change. The patenting of medicines confers a market monopoly to pharmaceutical companies who often charge the same high price worldwide. The result is that people in the developing world cannot afford treatments and die from curable diseases. Imagine if food prices were the same in Nairobi, Guatemala City and Brussels. Would we accept that people would die because they could not afford the price of food? Our goal is to support the implementation of existing international trade provisions that were designed to protect people's access to essential goods such as life-saving medicines.
To achieve the above, we work closely with local partners, medical teams and associations, organisations of people living with HIV-Aids such as South Africa's Treatment Action Campaign, the National Thai Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Bangkok, HealthGap and ACT Up and others here. We also work with consumer activist groups such as the Thai Federation for Consumers and here with Jamie's Consumer Project on Technology. We seek to actively contribute to a civil society movement that will, if we are successful, challenge the neglect of a major global health and equity issue. We are also calling on pharmaceutical companies to use sustainable mechanisms (thus other than charity) to make life-saving drugs available to people in poor countries. This could be done most effectively by lowering prices to affordable levels - through tiered pricing - or by issuing voluntary licenses that would allow for the importation or production of generic versions of treatments. Some of our efforts focus on inviting drug makers to reduce the prices of AIDS drugs or allow for the marketing of generic versions of the medicines in poorer nations. The challenge ahead is daunting. Pharmaceutical products responding to dramatic public health crises should be looked at differently from other goods and services. Health is not a commodity; it is a human right. |

Proven Code Patterns in Windows Azure
This topic describes as many of the proven code patterns that you should use where appropriate when building applications that use Windows Azure services. Code-level patterns include recommended patterns for code regardless of the language, such as asynchronous execution patterns, retry efforts, and other common code activities that prove extremely important to increase performance, scalability, and manageability of applications on Windows Azure. Most of these code patterns contain examples or references to examples in .NET languages, but the patterns are recommended no matter what language or platform is being used on or with Windows Azure services.
The scenarios in this topic are updated as more proven patterns emerge from customers and the community. The initial patterns are ones that have immediately appeared critical to building solid and performant Windows Azure applications.
Proven Coding Patterns
Asynchronous Service Calls
Recommendation: Calls to services in Windows Azure should be asynchronous.
Exceptions: Any situation in which the goal of the application is to take a request, start a longer process, and return immediately may not benefit much from asynchronous calls. A good example is an application that triggers very heavy computing work that will take some time – for example, a single Web role instance may present a button on a web page to request video graphics to render in many parallel worker role instances overnight. The user may not need to do more computing work while she waits for a synchronous call to return and indicate that the overnight rendering process has begun.
Suggested Asynchronous Examples
Because of the latencies involved in distributed applications an especially in cloud platforms like Windows Azure, calls to services should be asynchronous, so that the calling application can continue to do work while waiting for the call to return a response. In more cases that in local networks or desktop applications the call may fail to return due to timeouts or other network interruptions that occur on the internet; in the case of call failure, synchronous calls will hold up other work for the entire operation to timeout. The recommendation for asynchronous calls is even more important when working with small devices like phones and any device that has a weak or intermittent internet connection.
Importante |
You can check current latencies at Matthew Rosoff's Azure Statistics application. |
It may seem that asynchronous calls are always recommended – for examples, see the .NET Framework topics on the Event-Based Asynchronous Pattern, WCF Synchronous and Asynchronous Operations, and this recent discussion of Asynchronous Programming in MSDN Magazine – but the increasing computing abilities in desktop systems often make this unnecessary, as synchronous behavior is easier to code – which means faster, typically – and provides satisfactory results.
Unfortunately, bringing a synchronous approach to a Windows Azure application is likely to lead to disappointing results unless the natural interaction with the application is synchronous and latencies are not an issue.
There are two proven implementations you should examine using asynchronous service and client methods.
Asynchronous Service Implementations
The following implementations are proven examples of libraries that make sending and receiving messages straightforward ane efficient, enabling asynchronous work without the overhead of handling or wrapping begin and end methods.
Best Practices for Leveraging Windows Azure Service Bus
One proven implementation for using Service Bus queues that uses the .NET Framework library is located at Sending Messages Asynchronously and Receiving Messages Asynchronously.
Another proven implementation for using Service Bus queues – as well as other Windows Azure services like storage -- uses the Understanding and Using the CloudFx Framework library created by the Windows Azure Customer Advisory Team working directly with customers. For the basic example of asynchronous message sending and receiving to and from a Service Bus topic and subscription, see How to: Use CloudFx to Send and Receive Messages Asynchronously with a Service Bus Topic.

The U.S. is expanding its crackdown of offshore tax evasion, preparing numerous criminal cases against suspected offenders, defense lawyers involved in the cases say.
The U.S. is expanding its crackdown of offshore tax evasion, preparing numerous criminal cases against suspected offenders. Laura Saunders reports on Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.

More quote details and news » to turn over names of account holders, defense lawyers estimate that federal prosecutors are conducting at least 100 criminal investigations against suspected tax evaders.
The moves come as the U.S. is turning the screws on smaller banks that may have helped taxpayers stash money in secret overseas accounts.
Mary Estelle Curran, in 2004, is facing sentencing for tax evasion. Debbie Schatz/Palm Beach Daily News
On Monday, a federal judge in New York approved an Internal Revenue Service summons demanding still more records from UBS. According to court filings, the government now is focusing on U.S. taxpayers with accounts at smaller Swiss banks that didn't have U.S. branches but served customers through a UBS account in Stamford, Conn.
A UBS spokesman said that the request doesn't involve UBS clients or data from Switzerland.
"The government is clearly casting a wider net," said Scott Michel, a lawyer with Caplin & Drysdale in Washington, which has handled more than two dozen criminal investigations. "We're getting calls from people who have without warning received grand-jury subpoenas for their foreign account records."
Spokesmen for the IRS and Justice Department declined to comment.
The U.S. government already has won about 50 criminal cases and collected at least $5.5 billion in connection with undeclared offshore accounts. On Jan. 8, Mary Estelle Curran, a 79-year-old widow best known for volunteer work, pleaded guilty to criminal charges of filing false tax returns and evading about $668,000 in federal tax on $40 million her husband left her in a secret Swiss bank account at UBS. She agreed to pay almost $22 million, which is believed to be the largest penalty in a criminal case on offshore accounts since the UBS agreement.
Ms. Curran is scheduled to be sentenced in West Palm Beach, Fla., federal court March 26. She faces up to six years in prison.
U.S. officials "want to send a message that no one is too old, or too rich, or too poor, or too sympathetic to escape criminal prosecution," said Bryan Skarlatos, a lawyer with Kostelanetz & Fink in New York, whose firm has defended more than 30 taxpayers in criminal investigations involving offshore accounts.
In connection with the new IRS summons, one small bank was named: Wegelin AG, which pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to evade more than $1.2 billion in U.S. taxes and agreed to pay about $74 million in restitution, penalties and forfeitures.
"This summons is a new tactic, because other banks in the U.S. hold correspondent accounts for banks located everywhere," Mr. Michel said.
A lawyer for Wegelin didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
The IRS currently is conducting its third amnesty program since 2009, allowing holders of secret accounts to confess. People accepted into the program often owe steep penalties but they escape prosecution. They also must provide detailed information for the IRS's use in future enforcement efforts.
In all, more than 38,000 holders of undeclared accounts have stepped forward and paid more than $5.5 billion in back taxes, interest and penalties, according to an IRS spokesman. An additional $5 billion is due but not yet paid, tax lawyers said.
Nathan Hochman, a lawyer at Bingham McCutchen LLP in Los Angeles who is representing Ms. Curran, said she tried to enter the IRS's limited amnesty program in March 2009, before she knew that her name had been turned over by UBS to the U.S.
The IRS rejected the request for amnesty, said Mr. Hochman, apparently because the agency already had received information on her account from UBS when it turned over information on about 250 large account holders.
Mr. Hochman, a former head of the Tax Division of the Justice Department and now part of a legal team for Ms. Curran that includes celebrity lawyer Roy Black, said that at the time she stepped forward, less than 10% of her money was at UBS because she had moved most of it to a Lichtenstein bank.
"If she hadn't told the government about that account, they would have been unaware of 90% of her assets abroad," said Mr. Hochman. He said Ms. Curran "fully accepts responsibility for her actions."
People who know Ms. Curran said that although she lives at one of Palm Beach's toniest addresses—facing the Lake Worth Lagoon, next door to the house formerly owned by Bernard Madoff—she keeps a low profile. They said she is best known for her volunteer work with the Opportunity Inc. Early Childhood Center and the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults.
Mr. Hochman said Ms. Curran has a high-school education, hasn't worked outside the home in over 50 years, and had no knowledge of business when her husband, Mortimer Leslie Curran, left her the UBS account at his death in 2000.
Mr. Curran served on the boards of Tulane University and Choate Rosemary Hall, a Connecticut school. Mr. Curran was a money manager, said Mr. Hochman. His money at UBS was in a type of account that some people use to obscure ownership, although his reason for holding the account isn't clear.
Mr. Hochman said that after Ms. Curran inherited the money, she relied on U.S. and European advisers who never told her she was required to disclose it to U.S. authorities. Experts said that under the broad terms of current law she had little choice but to plead guilty.
Of the cases, 15 defendants have received prison terms, while others have received probation and at least a dozen haven't yet been sentenced, according to Mr. Skarlatos.

Delivered to my brother in the hospital the very next day. Item was found damaged when opened. I called GiftTree who that same day shipped a new medicine cabinet which was received in perfect condition the very next day. GiftTree gave outstanding customer service. Getting the replacement was very simple, fast and hassle free. Absolutely will use this company in the future and the product was great too. My brother is enjoying this little highlight to his unfortunate and painful situation.

This is the 2nd time I gave this as a get well gift. The two people receiving it laughed when it arrived and said that the items inside were fun and the cabinet very useful. I definitely will keep this in mind whenever a friend or family member needs to laugh and have some fun while recovering!

Daniel Engber, senior editor of Slate, writes:
A fat tax, then, discriminates among the varieties of gustatory experience. And its impact would fall most directly on the poor, nonwhite people who tend to be the most avid consumers of soft drinks and the most sensitive to price. Under an apartheid of pleasure, palatable drinks are penalized while delicious—or even hyperdelicious—products come at no extra charge. What about the folks who can't afford a $5 bottle of POM Wonderful? No big deal, say the academics writing in the New England Journal of Medicine; they can always drink from the faucet. Here's how the article puts it: "Sugar-sweetened beverages are not necessary for survival, and an alternative (i.e. water) is available at little or no cost." So much for Let them eat cake.
We've known for a long time that any sin tax is likely to be a burden on the poor, since they're most prone to unhealthy behavior. (James Madison fought the snuff tax on these grounds way back in 1794.) But you might just as well say that poor people have the most to gain from a sin tax for exactly the same reason. It's also possible that revenues from a fat tax would be spent on obesity prevention—or go back to the community in other ways. There's a knotty argument here about the vexing and reciprocal interactions among health, wealth, and obesity. It's not clear whether, and in what direction, a soda tax might redistribute wealth. Whatever you think of the economics, though, raising the price on soda—and offering water in its place—will redistribute pleasure.

Dry room technology in Lebanon
In November 2009 our Laboratory Manager, Keith Manger, visited the Lebanese Agricultural Institute (LARI) in Tal-Amara, near Rayak, Lebanon, to undertake a technical audit focusing on the possible construction of a dry room.
The current facility contains 1,775 seed samples, representing 841 species, which account for 30% of the Lebanese flora.
During the ten years of this MSBP partnership, progress had been made in several areas, partly as a result of capacity-building from Kew, but also because of a demonstrated commitment from LARI to review and improve its technical standards.
Although most areas were found to be satisfactory or better, there was concern that the typical ambient relative humidity and temperature conditions in Lebanon are too high to allow seed drying to an acceptable level. It was therefore imperative that drying facilities were made available in order that LARI could work to international standards for seed banking.
Following a very positive meeting, the President Director General of LARI, Michel Afram, approved funding for the installation of a purpose-designed dry room. In September 2012 the dry room was installed to the agreed technical specifications and LARI is now drying seeds according to international standards.

Average Review: Number of reviews: 1 A reviewer from Mayflower, AR Easy and Cute This pattern is adorable! I've sewn 2 different bedding sets using this pattern (1 for a girl, and 1 for a boy). I didn't use the flowers for the boy, I just made ties and attatched them where the flowers were supposed to be attached. I also left out the ric rac for the boy set. This pattern is very easy to sew and to customize. You can get a lot of different looks from the same pattern by simply adapting it to your needs. I especially love the bedskirt on this pattern because most baby bedskirts are really fluffy, and they don't suit a boy. This bedskirt is very sleek and modern. I would definitely recommend this pattern! |

Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -

Picking one player per round
by Michael LerraMarch 05, 2009
It's an exercise I run through at least a dozen times every year. Look at the projected rankings or average draft positions of players on your fantasy site, and try to figure out how to construct a team from each of the possible draft slots. I'm going to use ESPN's rankings as a guide, and go under the yes-I-know-it's-ridiculous assumption that everyone else drafts precisely according to the given rankings.
What draft slot should I assume I start in? I'll use a random number generator, assuming a 12-person league.
(dramatic pause)
Looks like its a four. All right, one last assumption: to keep things simple, we'll use a small roster: one of each of C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, seven pitchers, plus a bench of five.
ROUND 1, PICK 4: David Wright. This is perhaps the best pick to get in a snake draft. While I like Pujols a lot this year, Wright is arguably the best-projected player for 2009. Third base is looking a little weaker than in years past due to guys like Scott Rolen, Troy Glaus, and Garrett Atkins slowing down, and Chipper Jones due for a major regression (and/or season-ending surgery), and newcomers like Evan Longoria having enough playing time last year to be seeded appropriately for his age and skill level.
ROUND 2, PICK 21: Chase Utley. I swear I didn't plan this. I used a random number generator available at Random.org, and it appears I've given myself the best possible situation. There are some injury concerns here, and Utley may miss a chunk of time at the beginning of the season. But without these concerns, he's easily a first-rounder when you consider the lack of talent at 2B. Ian Kinsler has not made a believer out of me yet, and I'm not certain Dustin Pedroia has as much home run power as he displayed last year. I'll take the risk on Utley because hip injuries, in my never-took-an-anatomy-class expert opinion, are nowhere near as debilitating or recurring as a wrist or back injury, or that weird thing that Rocco Baldelli has.
ROUND 3, PICK 28: Matt Holliday. While ESPN has Holliday ranked as the 32nd most expensive player, I think this is a little low. Certainly, his power and average will tail off as he no longer hits in Coors against NL pitching. But, the humidor has been used for quite some time now, and there is believed to be a Coors "hangover" effect such that Coors hitters actually perform worse on the road than you'd otherwise expect. So simply taking Holliday's road stats and projecting that as his line for 2009 is pretty unwise. If Holliday is around in the late 20s, or certainly the early 30s, he's worth picking up. My hunch, however, is that he'll go in the late teens. as fantasy managers are unwilling to believe the degree to which Coors still impacts players' line drive and home run rates, as well as a pitcher's ability to put movement on a ball.
ROUND 4, PICK 45: Vladimir Guerrero. It looks like I'm simply picking names that were good a few years ago, but that's not the case. ESPN has Kevin Youkilis, Felix Hernandez, Aramis Ramirez, and Vlad all clustered around the 45th slot. I already have a 3B, so Youkilis isn't worth it here, nor is Aramis; I am a huge proponent of keeping one's Util slot open for as long as possible. Felix seems incredibly overrated this high, but some folks just see through rose-colored glasses and miss the fact that his peripherals haven't changed at all in three years and he may have topped out talent-wise. Vlad is declining, but he can still get you a few steals, a .300 BA, and solid R and RBI numbers due to his prime position in the lineup.
ROUND 5, PICK 52: Russell Martin. I hate to take a catcher here, it goes against my rules for drafting to pick a catcher at this point, but I've begun to be swayed by the arguments of other fantasy writers on this site. Martin projects very well, and I don't want to take an OF here (ESPN's numbers have Alex Rios still available) and fill the position.
ROUND 6, PICK 69: Derek Jeter. The karmic gods are angry, as a Boston resident just took Jeter over the also-available David Ortiz (ESPN rank: 70). Let me be clear: I think Ortiz is very underrated at pick 70. However, I have a few reasons for picking Jeter here. For one thing, the only SS left I'd be happy with is Rafael Furcal. For another, wrist injuries always scare me (*ahem*), so I'm not too confident in Ortiz' ability to bounce back this year. And finally, I'll go back to what I said above: I am a huge proponent of leaving the Util spot open for as long as possible. I've watched players fall as much as 50 spots below their rank, all because a few drafters didn't have a Util spot open, and maybe those who did got wrapped up in a run on closers. I'm always upset that I'm not That Guy who ends up with someone 50 spots later than he should have gone; this year, I want to be That Guy.
ROUND 7, PICK 76: Scott Kazmir. At this point, ESPN has a run of SPs, along with Torii Hunter and Johnny Damon. I'll pick Kazmir because he's consistent and because I just realized he turned 25 a month ago. It feels like he's been around forever, but he's actually still on the upswing of his career arc.
ROUND 8, PICK 93: Javier Vazquez. There's a ton of underrated talent here, including Garrett Atkins and Raul Ibanez (from Seattle's ballpark to Philly's? Yes, please). Kerry Wood may be a reasonable pick, as might Hunter Pence. But I'll take Vazquez's steady peripherals translated to the NL.
ROUND 9, PICK 100: Joey Votto. I like the projected power numbers, and I'm getting a little nervous that I won't have a solid 1B if I keep waiting. I don't want to end up with Todd Helton, unless someone puts him in touch with Alex Rodriguez's cousin.
ROUND 10, PICK 117: Aaron Harang. I'm not happy with my choices here at all; I've filled all of my position slots except one OF slot and my Util. At this point, my best bet is to choose a solid pitcher who's absolutely no-questions-asked better than a replacement SP. I could pick Edinson Volquez, but I don't like his walk rate and I think people have seen his stuff enough by this time; he won't be surprising anyone. I'll go with Harang, who's due for a regression back to where he used to be, and in my eyes a safer bet than Volquez.
ROUND 11, PICK 124: Trevor Hoffman. I'm hurting for a closer at this point, and I believe Hoffman will have a long leash with Milwaukee; the fact that they let Eric Gagne pitch past April last year is proof of that. Hoffman's strikeout rate is hurting, but he still keeps the walks down and should rack up the saves.
ROUND 12, PICK 141: Justin Upton. He's 22 this year, still on the upswing of his career, and check out what this guy did when he was 22.
ROUND 13, PICK 148: Brad Ziegler. No, he's not as good as his scoreless innings streak, but he'll get the majority of the A's saves without letting the ball out of the park too much.
ROUND 14, PICK 165: Carlos Delgado. This is what I want out of my Util. I've got a ton of good BA guys, and despite his age, Delgado is a good pick here. We're at the point at which guaranteed saves are no longer available, so I'll finish off my hitters while I can.
ROUND 15, PICK 172: Clayton Kershaw. Rolling the dice here; he's young, and he may put it together. If not, I've got no qualms about dropping a 15th round pick in favor of a free agent replacement player who's getting more playing time than folks thought he would get at draft time.
ROUND 16, PICK 189: John Danks. I'd also accept arguments for Chien-Ming Wang.
ROUND 17, PICK 196: David Price. He may not fall this far due to the hype from last year. I'm happy to take a utility guy like Mark DeRosa here instead, or a steals guy like Ryan Theriot.
ROUND 18, PICK 213: Grant Balfour. Will he be the closer for the Rays this year? He's got a ton of competition, but I'll take a chance on him in the 200s. His strikeout rate, ERA and WHIP may also be good enough as a setup man to be worth the pick here.
With remaining picks, I'd look to fill out my bench with an April backup for Chase Utley and a few high-upside guys like Ben Sheets or John Smoltz.
Here's what the team of starters looks like:
C: Russell Martin
1B: Joey Votto
2B: Chase Utley
SS: Derek Jeter
3B: David Wright
OF: Matt Holliday
OF: Vladimir Guerrero
OF: Justin Upton
Util: Carlos Delgado
P: Scott Kazmir
P: Javier Vazquez
P: Aaron Harang
P: Trevor Hoffman
P: Brad Ziegler
P: Clayton Kershaw
P: John Danks
Very, very solid. I think in a 12-person draft, the fourth slot might be the best place to draft from. There's a bit of a drop-off after the fifth slot, and I'd be happy to have the choice between David Wright and Jose Reyes. Some picks are of course unpredictable; I'd be far less happy with this draft if another manager broke the script and nabbed Votto or Jeter in front of me and forced me to wait longer to fill 1B and SS. Keeping my Util options open allowed a nice late pickup of Delgado.
I'm also a proponent of the power of free-agent pitching. Pitcher ERAs vary wildly at the beginning of the season, and there are always a few managers who succumb to small sample size and drop guys they shouldn't. A strong-hitting team can fortify its weakness in pitching during the season by picking up the players with good peripherals who were dropped too soon. Even getting to the point at which you have average pitching, combined with the lineup of hitters above, would make for a great chance at a bye week during the playoffs.

now that the folding guys have their users badges, i assume you want some too. which criteria? where to get stats? 500k and must be active to get any badge then badges at 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 25, 50 million ?
Absopostivelybloominlootly! Might want to consider setting the minimum lower so that we don't discourage newcomers and those with less powerful systems.
Thanks w1z!! There are a couple of different ways to do points with WCG. However, it does seem that we talk 'Free-DC" stats more than anything else. I'm thinking if we use Free DC, I'd say 100K is fair. If we use the point system through WCG (free DC x7) then I'd say 500K is fair. Here's a link to both team pages: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=bwcg&team=22175 https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamMemberDetail.do?sort=points&teamId=S8TLJ6TFV1
Is this for BOINC points or WCG points? I have almost 800k WCG points, but only like 115 BOINC points, so if it was 500k BOINC points it would take me about 6 months to get a badge, and I know that there are a lot of people with less generation capability than me. But 500K WCG sounds perfectly reasonable. I get my WCG stats from BOINCStats, but another option is Free-DC
How about 75k? I've been running WCG for a while and I only have a Kuma and Sempron 3000+ at it so it's slow going.
Ill put it in your name for a few days if u want. 75k doesn't seem like enough, 100k is just a nice well rounded number.
I agree with this, but the only thing is, that members who are no longer active will still show in the stats and if they are above the 100K/500K mark they will still have their badges. Also any idea's on what the badge will look like? I suppose a simple, easy fix would be to replace the 'multi-coloured bubble thingy' logo from the folding badge with the 'inter-weavy lines thingy' logo from WCG.
I know that Free-dc gives a total for the last 7 or 28 day's, maybe we could work off that. http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=bwcg&team=22175
I think we should use the same settings as the folders. 100K, must be active in last 7 days, keeps it simple.
Works good now. Looks good as well. For those of us that qualify or will qualify for both projects, does it display two badges, 1 for each team? Or does it simply pick the one you choose it to display?
That's a 'Staff Badge' if you mouse over it. Perhaps the staff are getting badges too? Or perhaps a prior system was in place for badges.

This group is designed for those who wish to improve their lives through the art of yarn working. What? Yes. After several years of teaching both knitting and crocheting, I began to notice a trend. (I'm a psychotherapist by trade, so I'm inclined to notice stuff.) People get stuck in the same places in their knitting in which they are stuck in their lives. Because the mind and body are intricately connected, our inner landscapes manifest themselves outwardly, and our day to day experiences shape …

Let's Talk About Keeping Passion Alive
Keeping keep passion alive over the long haul is the greatest challenge to monogamy.
After you've rolled around together a few thousand times, sex can become rote, which is, to use the technical term, a bummer. People in long-term relationships do all kinds of things to try to keep the passion alive—dressing in costumes, role playing, bringing gizmos and gadgets into the bedroom.
Or they could try just talking, suggests a study titled "Day-to-Day Changes in Intimacy Predict Heightened Relationship Passion, Sexual Occurrence, and Sexual Satisfaction."
Not any old talking, but the kind of talk that advances intimacy. That is, self-disclosure; telling your partner stuff he or she didn't know about you. Of course, this only works when your partner responds with warmth and sympathy. And vice versa.
The researchers theorize that one reason passion is so high in budding relationships is because couples are learning about each other, and each sympathetically received self-disclosure causes passion to flare. Over time, however, the revelations slow, the new information dries up, intimacy reaches a plateau, and sex hits the doldrums.

Lady Indians fall in first round of state
Heading into the fourth quarter, Yazoo City had a three point lead. But at the final buzzer, it was Callaway who moved on to the second round of the 5A North State tournament after downing the Lady Indians 34-31 Monday night.
The Lady Indians (19-8-1) had their five game win streak snapped and their home record fall to 9-4. Callaway topped the season series at 2-1.
Head coach Archie Carlyle was quick to give credit where it's due to their opponents but it was their own mistakes that cost them the game.
"The girls played real hard," he said. "But down the stretch we made some costly turnovers that really hurt us."

Dad on the run.
I'm at work at the moment. When I get home I will make a spreadsheet and names/addresses and order quantity. If the rate at which I am getting emails continue I am going to have my work cut out for me. I will look into setting up a payment system through paypal. I have always just used paypal to pay not get paid. As soon as I get that set up tonight I will post that information here and update the title so everyone will know to look here.
My parents said I could be anything when I grew up, so I decided to be Awesome!

I don't get it. What does a bracelet do? Not criticizing, I honestly don't get what this does for anybody?
It's solidarity. Same as wearing t-shirts or changing your profile pic or anything else people do after a tragedy to deal with the profound sense of loss.
Has Broken Parts
You could have everyone mail you a self addressed, stamped envelope with $3 in it. That would save you quite a bit of trouble.
this would probably be the easiest. We can do that if everyone is ok with that. I will reply to emails with my address.
Also 3 dollars in a minimum. Anyone who wishes to donate more may. Before money starts getting sent to me let me contact Boston officials and get a charity started. I don't want people thinking I'm trying to take advantage of a terrible situation. This is legitimate. In fact I just found out today a board member of the Birmingham Track club works here so I am going to contact him and try to get the track club involved.
Shows we're part of a family.
Anything else you want to know?
Get busy living or get busy dying.
I never do any of those things either. If I know someone affected and can help them by doing something or just be a listening ear, then that helps. But I don't get how a t-shirt or bumper sticker or bracelet or dedicating a run or sending my thoughts or any such symbolism helps.
I guess I'm too much of an engineer. Old engineer joke:
A priest, a physician, and an engineer get to the first tee for their golf game. They see guys teeing up with a guy behind them assisting them into position. "What's this about?" one asks. "It's the blind veterans golf outing" comes the answer.
"That's wonderful" says the priest. "I'll pray for these veterans".
The doctor says "There's been some amazing new developments in sight restoration. I'll get these guys a referral to a specialist".
The engineer asks "Can't these guys play at night?"
I never do any of those things either. If I know someone affected and can help them by doing something or just be a listening ear, then that helps. But I don't get how a t-shirt or bumper sticker or bracelet or dedicating a run or sending my thoughts or any such symbolism helps. I guess I'm too much of an engineer....
I guess I'm too much of an engineer....
This isn't a problem to be solved. Tell the engineer part of your brain to be quiet and listen to the other part. The part that recognizes it is important for us to show each other that we are all in this together.
If you don't want one then don't get one.

Just say the word JBJ. I think $3 is fair as a minimum. Figure out how best you feel comfortable handling the money and we'll all be on board.
I know I don't represent everyone. I am not a marathoner and I was not a volunteer. But as a member of the running community and a long time Boston resident, thank you so much for your support. It feel like you all are lifting up the same people I love.
So I'm currently sitting with a bag of frozen corn in my ass.
