The House Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs asked GAO to discuss its work on the consistency of disability compensation claims decisions of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). GAO has reported wide state-to-state variations in average compensation payments per disabled veteran, raising questions about decisional consistency. In 2003, GAO designated VA's disability programs, along with other federal disability programs, as high risk, in part because of concerns about decisional consistency. Illustrating this issue, GAO reported that inadequate information from VA medical centers on joint and spine impairments contributed to inconsistent regional office disability decisions.
GAO's November 2004 report explained that adjudicators in the Department of Veterans Affairs often must use judgment in making disability compensation claims decisions. As a result, it is crucial for VA to have a system for routinely identifying the effect of judgment on decisional variations among its 57 regional offices to determine if the variations are reasonable and, if not, how to correct them. In 2002, GAO reported that state-to-state variations of as much as 63 percent in average compensation payments per disabled veteran indicated potential inconsistency. The nature of the criteria that adjudicators must apply in evaluating the degree of impairment due to mental disorders provides an example of the extent of judgment required. GAO's October 2005 report on decisions for joint and spine disabilities showed one important way to improve consistency. Specifically, regional offices often rely on VA's 157 medical centers to examine claimants and provide medical information needed to decide the claims. However, VA has found inconsistency among its medical centers in the adequacy of their joint and spine disability exam reports that regional offices need to decide these claims. As of May 2005, the percentage of exam reports containing the required information varied across the medical centers from a low of 57 percent to a high of 92 percent. This could adversely affect the consistency of disability claims decisions involving joint and spine impairments. Although VA has made substantial progress, more remains to be done to improve the level of consistency in the disability exam reports.

Hermes Buys Asprey's Bond Street Store
In a challenging luxury market, Hermès has continued to shine posting profits at a time when most other brands are wrestling with deep losses. The same can't be said for Asprey which has struggled recently and had two consecutive loss-making years with sales dropping from £17 million to £13 million. For the most part Hermès hasn't been in the acquisitions business, choosing to expand modestly and focus on their strengths but Asprey does have the kind of history and tradition that might appeal to Hermès.
The Observer speculates that the sale might provide a much-needed cash infusion for Derek Quinlan, whose portfolio has taken a deep in the past year or so. He is divesting himself of a lot of his property portfolio and has moved to Switzerland. The Asprey store sale could bring him as much as £25 million.

In Brief
- Creating a unified theory of nature is the highest goal of modern physics, and few have contributed as much to achieving it as Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas at Austin.
- In the 1960s Weinberg helped to develop two pillars of the Standard Model: the unification of electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, and the theory of the strong nuclear force.
- Since then, he has contributed to efforts to complete the unification, such as string theory, by including the only force of nature that the Standard Model does not cover: gravity.
- Weinberg has also applied particle physics to cosmology. His model explaining dark energy in terms of parallel universes is the most widely cited argument in favor of a multiverse.
Steven Weinberg came up with a good idea one day while driving his red Camaro. The paper he wrote, "A Model of Leptons," was just two and a half pages long—including references and acknowledgments. When it came out in 1967, it was largely ignored. But it became one of the most quoted physics papers ever and helped to earn Weinberg the 1979 Nobel Prize, shared with Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow.
In those two and a half pages, Weinberg showed that two of the four forces of nature, electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, which outwardly seem completely different, could be different aspects of a single unified set of "electroweak" forces. This theory predicted the existence of a new neutral particle among those that carry out the action of the weak force, known as the weak bosons. And he showed how the innate symmetry of the electroweak forces becomes hidden or, as physicists say, "spontaneously broken," so that we perceive electromagnetism and the weak force as dissimilar. This symmetry-breaking process endows particles such as quarks with mass.

"Gerard Trap Bar" http://www.trapbartraining.com/ $239.99 + $70 s/h
"The Genuine Gerard Trap Bar Review" http://www.mm2k.com/trap-bar-review.html
Does anybody on the board own "The Genuine Gerard Trap Bar" or know someone that owns one or has used one?
Now I was getting the money together to buy from Jesup Gym a Hex Bar.
"Olympic Combo Shrug Bar with Free Collars" http://www.jesupgym.com/products.php?cid=12 $130.00
Then I started doing some more searching wanting to confirm more of bits and pieces of what I read about Al Gerard inventing it "because his back was so beat up from deadlifting with a straight bar".
I developed some back pain doing DeadLifts, form was poor and had been trying to improve form but eventually had to stop.
But I really miss the feeling of doing DeadLifts and the mass it helped me put on.
I'm just getting over the back pain.
So I thought as an alternative, the Hex Bar, Trap Bar...
"The Genuine Gerard Trap Bar" is quite a bit more pricy.
But if, if the design differences are enough to make a difference for my back, it would be worth it.
Look them over, at first glance they look the same, but they are different.
I will have to save for some more time, just barely scraped the extra money together for the cheaper one at Jesup Gym.
Can anyone on the board give me some advice.

To repeat something Bourdain pointed out some time ago, he shows remarkable restraint many times in "Kitchen Nightmares." Superhuman restraint once or twice....I'd rather spend my free time watching people who seem to be able to restrain themselves.
Agreed. In this case, I like his mechanics and ignore the PR.I am one of those people that is just rubbed the wrong way by a society that seems to be in love with other people's "celebrity" rather than with other ideas and issues and things that might bring a sense of more fulfillment into their own lives in a real way.
Exactly. In my circle, there's just one person besides myself who spends much time in the kitchen. Most people seem to subscribe to the idea of food as fuel and fuel alone. Pretty sad.Plus the angle of the story seemed wrong to me. As Shelora noted, it is not just women who are not in the kitchen.

The Willits Unified School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to take no action on the issue of whether the Willits Elementary Charter School had the right to exempt themselves from city zoning laws. The action was taken with the understanding that lawyers from both groups would return with a document for board approval providing immunity to the district from any future legal challenge arising from actions taken by the charter school.
While trustees discussed the possibility of a bond earlier in the discussion, what assets the Willits Charter School has that could be used to pay off any future legal fees or judgments was unclear.
The proposed location for the school is on the corner of East Commercial Street and South Lenore Avenue. Work on the site was stalled awaiting resolution of this issue.
Sarah Kollman, lawyer for the WCS, and WUSD attorney Frank Zotter spoke to the board before an audience packed with families showing their support for the new school.
Zotter was concerned for the district on several points: the first being he believed the unelected nonprofit board for the Willits Charter School Association did not have the authority to exempt itself from zoning. For this purpose, Zotter opined, only a board elected by the people would have such authority.
Zotter was further concerned because when an elected board takes an action that preempts city zoning laws it is then bound to follow the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, as well as aspects of the Public Resources Code, requiring public action involving planning. He said it appears WCS had not followed these requirements, starting to build the school before conducting the appropriate assessments.
Kollman argued the charter school board had the authority to exempt itself from zoning requirements.
Both lawyers agreed this specific point had not been adjudicated before.
Willits Charter School President Eric Glassey said his group had met with the city's Technical Advisory Committee to discuss issues with the new school siting, and believed that met the requirement for consulting with the city.
Willits Community Development Director Alan Falleri told trustees the area in question was zoned R-3 for multiple residences, and the property owner has an approved subdivision map that allows 20 townhouses to be built upon the property.
That zoning does not allow public schools at all, and would allow private schools or daycare facilities only with a special use permit.
If someone wanted to build a small daycare facility, they would be required to make a proposal to the city, including technical details such as parking, vehicle access, yards, spaces and buffers, neighborhood traffic, lighting; signage, grading and drainage, flood zone issues, water and sewer availability, fire protection, police protection, fencing and landscaping. The property owners also would have been required to notify by certified mail all property owners close to the affected property 10 days in advance of the public hearing to advise them about changing the zoning use.
The city planner would be required to conduct a CEQA checklist to determine whether any public impact would arise from the development, including notice to the state and county agencies about the planned zoning change. The project would only proceed to the approval stage after consideration of all potential impacts and proposed mitigations resulted in a determination of no significant impacts or a "negative declaration."
During the public hearing, nearby property owners and other concerned citizens or agencies would be allowed to comment or send in comments to be considered by the city council (acting as the planning commission). After all factors were considered, the council would vote to either approve or disapprove the new use for the site.
Glassey signed the CEQA document in May, claiming the project qualifies as an "in-fill project" and therefore does not require further environmental review.
Zotter told trustees he would not have considered that action an appropriate use of the categorical exemption had the school district taken ownership of the project.
Air Pollution Control Officer Chris Brown said he had first learned of the project after reading about it in the newspaper. He told trustees he would have normally been alerted before any grading was started by the lead agency.
The Willits Charter School board assumed this role when it declared it was exempt from local zoning. Brown said when siting a school his agency is required to determine the likely levels of air pollution at the site. He also said according to California Public Resources Code Section 21151.8 there are a number of requirements required prior to constructing a new elementary school that have not yet been conducted. The code anticipates that any school construction would be thoroughly addressed in either and environmental impact report or a "negative declaration."
The type of CEQA exemption adopted by the Willits Charter School board is allowed only if "the project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation…including applicable zoning designation." Since public schools are not allowed under the current zoning, and a private school would require a conditional use permit and hearing before the city council, it seems unclear how the exemption applies.
The exemption also requires the project will "not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise…" The dropping off and pickup of 100 children a day might have a traffic consequence at the location, so the application of that exemption also seems inconsistent on this aspect. The project also is located on a floodplain and floodway and next to a spawning stream.
WCA: The organization behind the initials
The Willits Charter School Association is a 501c nonprofit umbrella organization founded in 1999 for two publicly funded charter schools in Willits. It is the governing association for the current Willits Charter School, formed for grades 5 through 12 and for the newly created Willits Elementary Charter School for kindergarten through grade 4.

Amazon has the most shares of its products on Pinterest than any other US retailer, though it seems to put less effort into curation than most of its rivals.
According to SearchMetrics, products from Amazon.com currently generate the highest average number of pins per week (16,360) on Pinterest, followed by Walmart (5,778) and Apple (3,871).
So is Amazon doing anything especially well on Pinterest, or is this due to the sheer ubiquity of its products?
For larger retailers, is it worth the effort, or should you let your 'fans' do the hard work?

'The Information' makes a case for smaller publishers adopting a paywall.
This is just a brief companion to an article I wrote yesterday entitled do publishers' paywalls kill sociability?, in which I asked a few questions around the subject of online publications asking readers to pay for content which they have traditionally enjoyed for free.
As this focussed mainly on larger newspapers, at the end of the post I suggested that I would follow up the article with a focus on smaller, start-up publishers and whether a paywall might be suitable for them or not.
This recent example was brought to my attention and I feel it makes for an interesting case-study.

Welcome to Econsultancy's anti-format. This is a fun and perhaps unnecessary respite from our best practice research and blog posts.
The big news this week is that Econsultancy's tech team has incorporated a gif retriever into our CMS. This means we will never need cash again.
Enjoy what we've enjoyed this week and please share with your family.

I really enjoyed reading Graham's article about great ecommerce product page copy last week. It set me thinking all afternoon and all night.
Ecommerce is an area I spend most of my time working in, both on my own ecommerce websites, and my clients' ecommerce websites.
While a lot of the people that contributed to Graham's article represent 'the big boys' of ecommerce and online marketing, I wanted to share my personal experience with writing ecommerce copy.
My operations are a lot smaller than those of the contributors to Graham's article, but at the same time my experience is just as important to 'the little guys' out there, running ecommerce websites on a shoestring budget.
You don't necessarily have to add amazing functionality to your product pages in order to make sales. Perfect the copy and you'll be well on the road to success.

In a survey conducted by Econsultancy and Redeye earlier this year more than half of client-side respondents said that conversion rate optimisation is crucial to their overall digital marketing strategy.
The same survey found that the most valued methods for increasing conversion rates are both testing methodologies, with around three in five companies surveyed saying A/B testing and multivariate testing are 'highly valuable'.
By way of supporting these findings and highlighting the importance of CRO, I've rounded up .. case studies which show how relatively small changes to a site's UX can result in big increases in conversions and profit.

Over the last decade, the weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday has become known as the major sales high for retailers in the run-up to Christmas.
But with the gifting season expected to exceed £10bn overall this year, retailers shouldn't put all their presents under the 'Cyber Weekend' tree this year.

As a new father, I get told all the time to savour every day because kids grow up so fast.
It's true, my young son has already grown so much and it's an adventure every day, watching him develop and interact with the world around him.
As a technologist, I can relate to how quickly big changes impact the world.

text: Bill York, of Vandalia, Illinois, could be called a Rat Bike aficionado. He's amassed a vast number of ratted metric bikes, but one bike his collection lacked was an American V-twin. He had always been a fan of the brand (he bought a Fat Boy for his lady-friend a few years back), yet that sole American bike in his garage was the exact opposite of his others (and his lady-friend liked it the way it was). In his effort to complete his rat bike set, Bill went to his rat bike source, Todd Anglani of After Hours Bikes in Florida and created a joint venture to have an American V-twin rat bike built. Together, they worked out the details of what features he wanted this bike to have: tall tires, slammed to the pavement stance, patina as paint, and a hidden talent that would please a crowd. Bikes such as the one Bill desired can't be bought at any kind of Harley shop, therefore the frame had to be built from scratch. Wheels had to be acquired before they could make the frame, though, because there aren't many stock frame jig reference points for a bike with a 23-inch front wheel and a framerail scraping ride-height. A call was made to Ride Wright wheels for a pair of 60-spokers, powdercoated yellow (by Fusion Powdercoat) that would create a contrast between the planned iron oxide covering of the rest of the bike. A big, 7-1/2-inch-wide whitewall Coker tire was fit to the 18-inch-tall rear wheel, and a sky-scraping 23-inch Cobra tire was slipped around the front. Essentially, the frame was built around the fit of the tires and the super-low seat that positioned the rider directly in front of the rear tire. From the motor and primary forward, the bike has typical lowered geometry with about 6 inches more in the backbone, but from that same point towards the rear, it is considerably longer than a stock bike. There's no rear suspension beyond the sizeable sidewall of the vintage-style tire. The extra stretch in the rear allowed some space to stash the oil bag at the bottom of a stack, with the battery in the middle, and a sprung seat on the top. Driving the rear wheel required an oversized length chain; the slack is removed with a chain tensioner that forces the chain shape to follow the lines of the frame. Just as one would guess on a bike like this, the frontend was a hand-built affair, too. Consisting of matching lightening holes in a leading-link fork configuration, the front suspension sports a pair of Gabriel Adjustable air-shocks (painted yellow for more contrast) that have enough travel to allow the bike to rest on the framerails when completely drained of air. Swap meet beach bar-style handlebars not only complement the look of the frame, but they also provide a bit of pullback and added reach that reduces the vast span from the seat to the hand controls. "Even when the shocks are full of air, it's almost impossible to get over some speed bumps—gotta keep an eye out for 'em ahead of time," Bill said. With the Ultima motor and drivetrain as a few of the exceptions, most of the remaining parts, like the gas tank, oil-cooler, air-tank, and foot controls, were hand-fabricated. A pair of old Plymouth valve covers were formed into the right and left sides of the gas tank mounted on either side of the backbone. "See the upside-down Corona beer bottle on the left side of the tank? That's a gas gauge JB welded in place with a pipe elbow," Bill said. A junkyard heater core acts as a hard-mounted oil-cooler, and just below the cooler is a custom-made, cylindrical air-reservoir for the air-shocks. Chevy piston rods, welded to the frame, house levers tipped with valve springs that actuate the only brake (rear) and the transmission shifter. Red, ratcheting wrenches ride on both sides of the seat and lock into place when Bill attaches the seat pad for a passenger. Remember that hidden talent discussed in the first paragraph? Well, the decision was made to incorporate a flame-thrower into the exhaust system. Not exactly an ordinary aspect of a show bike, but well worth the effort. "An in-line fuel pump was built from the gas tank, and it was attached to a nitrous sprayer nozzle, then a spark plug was welded to the tip with the flames shooting out of the end of the exhuast…this thing will shoot huge jets of flame 30-feet into the air," Bill said (note to reader: do not piss this guy off in traffic—if he gets on your left side, you're toast). If Bill had this bike at a show, it wouldn't be hard to imagine it would draw a crowd after blasting a shot or two of flame into the air! And, he never has to worry about torching any meticulously applied paint. HB When the beer is empty the fun is done! Not sure how much wind that "windshield" will block? Soon to be burning a lot more than rubber! 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Greg Friend Of Gearhead Inc. Enjoyed this Post?

Finding a dentist in the pleasanton area might be easier if you try to ask for referrals from those who have already experienced their services – word of mouth as what they call it. This way you will be reducing the chance of bad experiences, as somebody else has taken that risk for you previously. This is a great way to filter-out malpractice as well as bad dentists. Looking for a good dentist will be easy if you know what precisely to look for and how to get rid of awful ones within your list.
Dentists who possess the patience, determination, commitment and enthusiasm are the ones you can consider the best, for they discover a way to take care of your own teeth so as not to remove them. All dentists are experts, as every one of them were formally educated and trained to complete their jobs. Nevertheless, expertise alone isn't adequate! Personality and also character is what exactly makes the difference between a great and a bad dentist.
A real good dentist strives to do anything to save or remove the teeth of the patient. A great dentist will TRY to restore and save your own teeth by all means. For a great dentist, pulling out your teeth will be the last choice because they will seek first other feasible ways so that you can keep them. However, a bad dentist will remove your bad teeth when he sees that he actually has to try to conserve them. It is essential that you remember to avoid these kinds of dentists simply because directly removing your teeth while they could still be saved can cause irreparable damage to your dental cavities. Bear in mind that we are unique human beings; thus, each of the 32 individual teeth we have is special. Hence, removal should always be the last choice mainly because once a tooth is extracted, our body is NOT capable of growing another! Think about this as you look for a good dentist.
Work Ethics
Yet another thing that you ought to consider is the way the dentist is working – take notice of the amount of work done during a single visit. An excellent one tries to complete all the work in a single visit. This is done because the dentist is wanting to lessen your charges by completing it all in one single visit so you will not have to return for the same problem. However, a bad dentist will attempt to split the treatment into numerous visits. In every single visit, the dentist will try to do little work as possible for you to set another meeting with him/her. Of course, these numerous visits will lead to more money you're going to spend. Multiple visits indicate numerous spending for you, for they charge by individual sessions. These dentists will lengthen the appointments that you will have with them, like if they can do it in only 2 sessions, they will complete it in 5. This is not what professional dentists do; these dentists don't even value their work as they just want the money. As soon as you notice this kind of substandard service, switch to another dentist.
Concern to Patients
If you are thinking of a factor that a dentist must have to be a good one, it's pain awareness. This is crucial for you will certainly feel pain in the process. A good dentist will surely see the patients' pain even without asking; they could do this by just looking at the facial expressions. As soon as the dentist sees that you're in pain, he/she will try to relieve that pain by increasing the total amount of local anesthetic or altering something within the process. Causing excessive pain is not what great dentists do; they'll make an effort to be as gentle as possible for they always place the comfort of their clients first.

see all - FunctionThe function of PrP is still under debate. May play a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. May be required for neuronal myelin sheath maintenance. May play a role in iron uptake and iron homeostasis (By similarity). Isoform 2 may act as a growth suppressor by arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. Soluble oligomers are toxic to cultured neuroblastoma cells and induce apoptosis (in vitro).
- Involvement in diseaseNote=PrP is found in high quantity in the brain of humans and animals infected with neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases, like: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), fatal familial insomnia (FFI), Gerstmann-Straussler disease (GSD), Huntington disease-like type 1 (HDL1) and kuru in humans; scrapie in sheep and goat; bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle; transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME); chronic wasting disease (CWD) of mule deer and elk; feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE) in cats and exotic ungulate encephalopathy (EUE) in nyala and greater kudu. The prion diseases illustrate three manifestations of CNS degeneration: (1) infectious (2) sporadic and (3) dominantly inherited forms. TME, CWD, BSE, FSE, EUE are all thought to occur after consumption of prion-infected foodstuffs.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) [MIM:123400]. CJD occurs primarily as a sporadic disorder (1 per million), while 10-15% are familial. Accidental transmission of CJD to humans appears to be iatrogenic (contaminated human growth hormone (HGH), corneal transplantation, electroencephalographic electrode implantation, etc.). Epidemiologic studies have failed to implicate the ingestion of infected annimal meat in the pathogenesis of CJD in human. The triad of microscopic features that characterize the prion diseases consists of (1) spongiform degeneration of neurons, (2) severe astrocytic gliosis that often appears to be out of proportion to the degree of nerve cell loss, and (3) amyloid plaque formation. CJD is characterized by progressive dementia and myoclonic seizures, affecting adults in mid-life. Some patients present sleep disorders, abnormalities of high cortical function, cerebellar and corticospinal disturbances. The disease ends in death after a 3-12 months illness.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) [MIM:600072]. FFI is an autosomal dominant disorder and is characterized by neuronal degeneration limited to selected thalamic nuclei and progressive insomnia.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of Gerstmann-Straussler disease (GSD) [MIM:137440]. GSD is a heterogeneous disorder and was defined as a spinocerebellar ataxia with dementia and plaquelike deposits. GSD incidence is less than 2 per 100 million live births.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of Huntington disease-like type 1 (HDL1) [MIM:603218]. HDL1 is an autosomal dominant, early onset neurodegenerative disorder with prominent psychiatric features.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of kuru (KURU) [MIM:245300]. Kuru is transmitted during ritualistic cannibalism, among natives of the New Guinea highlands. Patients exhibit various movement disorders like cerebellar abnormalities, rigidity of the limbs, and clonus. Emotional lability is present, and dementia is conspicuously absent. Death usually occurs from 3 to 12 month after onset.
Defects in PRNP are the cause of spongiform encephalopathy with neuropsychiatric features (SENF) [MIM:606688]; an autosomal dominant presenile dementia with a rapidly progressive and protracted clinical course. The dementia was characterized clinically by frontotemporal features, including early personality changes. Some patients had memory loss, several showed aggressiveness, hyperorality and verbal stereotypy, others had parkinsonian symptoms. - Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the prion family.
- DomainThe normal, monomeric form has a mainly alpha-helical structure. The disease-associated, protease-resistant form forms amyloid fibrils containing a cross-beta spine, formed by a steric zipper of superposed beta-strands. Disease mutations may favor intermolecular contacts via short beta strands, and may thereby trigger oligomerization.
Contains an N-terminal region composed of octamer repeats. At low copper concentrations, the sidechains of His residues from three or four repeats contribute to the binding of a single copper ion. Alternatively, a copper ion can be bound by interaction with the sidechain and backbone amide nitrogen of a single His residue. The observed copper binding stoichiometry suggests that two repeat regions cooperate to stabilize the binding of a single copper ion. At higher copper concentrations, each octamer can bind one copper ion by interactions with the His sidechain and Gly backbone atoms. A mixture of binding types may occur, especially in the case of octamer repeat expansion. Copper binding may stabilize the conformation of this region and may promote oligomerization. - Post-translational

word of the day: January 03, 2012
The sometimes frothy, usually slimy, amalgam of lubricant, stray fecal matter, and ejaculate that leaks out of the receiving partner's anus after a session of anal intercourse. Named, by popular demand and usage, after legislator Rick Santorum because of his homophobic political statements.
"That move was about as slick as santorum!"

Major Alberta unions vowed Thursday to pull out "any and all stops" in their fight against a pair of controversial bills they say were rammed through the legislature. Late Wednesday, the legislature passed third reading of Bill 45, which will significantly increase fines for unions engaged in an illegal strike. Bill 46 also passed early Thursday, eliminating binding arbitration and imposing a wage deal if the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees doesn't negotiate a contract by Jan. 31.
39 minutes agoCity councillors moved Thursday into the final stage of budget talks, debating final amendments to the $2.1-billion proposal. The 2014 budget includes a proposed 5.5-per-cent hike on property taxes — meaning $98 more on a house worth $357,000- although Mayor Don Iveson suspects that "nips and tucks" will bring the final tally lower.

D-backs have four of Law's Top 100 prospects
What's become part of the buildup to spring training is the release of ESPN baseball analyst Keith Law's Top 100 prospects of 2013 (insider subscription required). Law released his annual list Tuesday morning and it features four Arizona Diamondbacks.
Tyler Skaggs, the 21-year-old lefty who started six games for the D-backs last year, comes in the highest-ranked at 12th overall. Law on Skaggs:
Even as-is, he's a grade of fastball command away from being a No. 2 starter with three above-average-to-plus pitches and the ability to wipe out hitters on both sides of the plate.
Skaggs spent most of the 2012 season in the minor leagues, splitting time between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno, compiling a 9-6 record with a 2.87 ERA and 116 strikeouts in 122.1 innings of work.
Also showing up on Law's list are right-handed pitcher Archie Bradley (#25), third baseman Matt Davidson (#75) and outfielder Adam Eaton (#91).
On Bradley:
His raw stuff remains filthy, an easy 94-98 with downhill plane, a wipeout curveball, and the quarterback size and athleticism that made him a top 10 overall pick in 2011. He was more aggressive in the second half of 2011, attacking hitters when ahead in the count but still walking too many hitters.
On Davidson:
Davidson just keeps chugging along, drawing walks, hitting for some power, playing an adequate third base and not getting a ton of respect for it -- understandable, as there's nothing flashy about his game.
On Eaton:
He's an above-average runner who can cover the ground in center but needs to continue to improve his reads on balls off the bat, with a future average glove in center. He's likely a 10-12 homer guy in a neutral park but should have high-.300 OBPs to keep him in the lineup, even if he's just a fringy regular in a corner.
On Law's 2012 list, the Diamondbacks also had four players featured -- including right-hander Trevor Bauer, who was dealt to Cleveland in the offseason. Bauer ranked 21st last season. This year he comes in at #25.
Texas shortstop Jurickson Profar tops Law's list followed by St. Louis outfielder Oscar Taveras and Baltimore right-hander Dylan Bundy.

Osho,A very revealing incident occurred recently. In the wake of the so-called "giant step for mankind," when the first astronaut set foot on the moon, the Americans have continued their space exploration, now with the reusable shuttle.Suddenly, a little while ago, this 2.3-billion-dollar spacecraft blew up in the sky, killing all seven passengers.It created an enormous reaction in the US – sorrow, anger, hurt national pride, etc. It turned out that behind the tragedy lay the usual human forces: egotism, prejudice, dishonesty, competition, arrogance, fear, ambition, and so on.An official investigation concentrated on "flawed management procedures," and "reorganizing the chain of command," but nowhere felt it relevant to investigate egotism, prejudice, dishonesty, and all the rest.Isn't the real "giant step for mankind" yet to come – the realization that it is man himself who lies at the root of his own catastrophe?
It is man himself who lies at the root of all the catastrophes, but the trouble is, it goes against man's ego to accept it.
The way of the ego is very simple: always throw responsibility on somebody else. It is always the other who is hell. One never looks at oneself. The other cannot be hell for me, unless I in some way support the other to create the hell for me. It must be somewhere in the unconscious, my own need.
Just today I came to know, that all over the world man wastes enough energy, money, technological power and human genius in three days to support the whole earth for a year with food, clothing, shelter, everything that a human being needs to survive. And this figure is five years old, so I guess that now man must be wasting perhaps every day as much energy as is needed to support the whole of mankind for one year.
And who is at the root of it, who is forcing you to do all this nonsense? All this is being done to prepare more efficiently for war, to kill more, to destroy more.
It seems man is insane.
Everywhere you can see his insanity, and if it were only a few people who were insane, it would be easy to do something for them, but if the whole humanity is functioning in an insane way, then a tremendous effort is needed to stop this idiotic behavior.
The people who are responsible for the basic catastrophe – that is, the insanity of humanity – are the people who are in power. They want more and more power. The desire for more and more is unending, and everybody is competing without thinking of the whole humanity – that all this competition for destructiveness is suicidal.
The rocket that was carrying seven passengers was not a big catastrophe, but this earth which is carrying six billion people is in the same danger. And there seems to be no thinking about what is needed first. If you have more than enough, then it is worthwhile to explore space. But right now even America does not have more than enough. Millions of people are on the streets: no food, no clothes, no shelter.
But Ronald Reagan is not interested in those millions of people, he is interested in the national ego, "We are the first to take passengers into space."
It is hilarious. As far as is known, no planet around the earth is habitable. In this solar system, except for the earth, no planet is habitable – all efforts are useless, because there is no oxygen, no water, and life cannot exist. Perhaps in other solar systems, there may be planets where life can exist, but to reach to those planets is an impossible job right now. They are too far away.

Some women choose to have their babies in an NHS maternity unit, but then invest in additional help and support after the birth. The most common option is to employ a private maternity nurse to help with child care during the early weeks. This can be of benefit to those women who have had a caesarean or a difficult birth. Maternity nurses specialise in the care of newborn babies and are often ex-midwives.
Typical costs for a private maternity nurse are in the range £700 to £1,000 per week.

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Washington, DC Friday, December 2, 2011
President Obama, joined by former President Bill Clinton, announced a $4 billion initiative to improve the energy efficiency of government and private-sector buildings.
The effort is a move by the administration to spur job creation at no cost to taxpayers. The proposal would upgrade buildings over the next two years with a goal of improving energy performance 20% by 2020 with the federal government committing $2 billion to the cost and a coalition of corporations, labor unions, universities and local governments paying for the other half.
