I didn't watch the Barack-Hillary debate, but it now seems pretty clear that the most committed supporters of both candidates would prefer a McCain presidency to victory by the opposing Dem. Check out the Obamaphile comments on Matt Yglesias's blog– always a good sounding board for snarky, polemically energetic progressive opinion. They're all furious that Weather Undergrounder Bill Ayers has made it into the ABC debate, and hate Hillary for it.
Months ago you could find people from all Democratic camps on the blog. Now it's all Obama, except for one brave soul who wonders that if John McCain sat for years on a board with someone who bombed abortion clinics and wished he had bombed more, wouldn't the commenters on Yglesias's blog make an issue out of it. It's a good question, and no one has a good answer.

Tyler, The Creator Announces New Album 'IGOR' & Release Date
Previous Story (Dec 25): What a journey 2016 has been for Lupe fans.
The rapper kicked off the year with the announcement that he would be releasing 3 albums before 2017 and then retiring. Since then we've had cancellations, different album titles, artworks and more. The climax seemed to come a few weeks ago when Lupe announced his retirement after the reaction to 'N.E.R.D.'.
Whether or not you believed him it was a little worrying but it's not been confirmed to be false. After a tough year, we now have the release date for DROGAS Light. The album will be released on February 10th next year and above is the official cover art.

Consciousness is awareness. When we become conscious we become aware of some 'thing'. That 'thing' equates to all experiences, objects and unseen forces that make up our world. Our brains are the mechanism of our awareness, obviously. Our brains serve as our bridge between the stimulus we receive and what we manifest as our lives and the material world around us.
If you have landed on this page you are experiencing some form of mental clutter produced in any variety of ways. All space clutter is the expression of mental clutter. And all space clutter compounds and creates more mental clutter. It is a reciprocal relationship.
What I hope that you will understand is that in order to truly change your life you must grow your awareness of what is actually driving the creation of the clutter. Once this awareness is achieved it opens the door to the choices available to you.
After coaching hundreds of people in the creation of order in their homes and offices, I can only say that those who are the most successful in finding lasting changes with our services are those who are willing to participate in growing their consciousness through personal behavioral, mental and emotional exploration. It is vitally important to master habit formation and time management in order to become a more successful manifester in your world.
The success I am speaking about is having a general sense of happiness with the direction and accomplishment of your life. Only you can define that.
We were designed as social beings and we develop our consciousness most effectively through friends, mentors, coaches and other interpersonal relationships.
While coaching is my business, it cannot be forgotten that a coaching relationship is an interpersonal relationship. I am a coach and my purpose is to help others along their path to self-discovery and guide in the formation of skill sets that are absolutely necessary to creating the lives they long for even if the only change you desire is a neater closet, or a garage that you can park your car in.

Methoxychlor is a synthetic organochloride insecticide, now obsolete.

Usage
Methoxychlor was used to protect crops, ornamentals, livestock, and pets against fleas, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects. It was intended to be a replacement for DDT, but has since been banned for use as a pesticide based on its acute toxicity, bioaccumulation, and endocrine disruption activity.

The amount of methoxychlor in the environment changes seasonally due to its use in farming and foresting. It does not dissolve readily in water, so it is mixed with a petroleum-based fluid and sprayed, or used as a dust. Sprayed methoxychlor settles on the ground or in aquatic ecosystems, where it can be detected in sediments. Its degradation may take many months. Methoxychlor is ingested and absorbed by living organisms, and it accumulates in the food chain. Some metabolites may have unwanted side effects.

Banned
The use of methoxychlor as a pesticide was banned in the United States in 2003 and in the European Union in 2002.

Human exposure
Human exposure to methoxychlor occurs via air, soil, and water, primarily in people who work with the substance or who are exposed to air, soil, or water that has been contaminated. It is unknown how quickly and efficiently the substance is absorbed by humans who have been exposed to contaminated air or via skin contact. In animal models, high doses can lead to neurotoxicity. Some methoxychlor's metabolites have estrogenic effects in adult and developing animals before and after birth. One studied metabolite is 2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane (HPTE) which shows reproductive toxicity in an animal model by reducing testosterone biosynthesis. Such effects adversely affect both the male and female reproductive systems. It is expected that this "could occur in humans" but has not been proven. While one study has linked methoxychlor to the development of leukemia in humans, most studies in animals and humans have been negative, thus the EPA has determined that it is not classifiable as a carcinogen. The EPA indicates that levels above the Maximum Contaminant Level of 40 ppb "cause" central nervous depression, diarrhea, damage to liver, kidney, and heart, and - by chronic exposure - growth retardation.

Little information is available regarding effects on human pregnancy and children, but it is assumed from animals studies that methoxychlor crosses the placenta, and it has been detected in human milk Exposure to children may be different than in adults because they tend to play on the ground, further, their reproductive system may be more sensitive to the effects of methoxychlor as an endocrine disruptor.

Food contamination may occur at low levels and it is recommended to wash all foods. A number of hazardous waste sites are known to contain methoxychlor.

Maximum pesticide residue limits for the EU/UK are set at 0.01 mg/kg for oranges and 0.01 mg/kg for apples.

Labeling
The EPA lists methoxychlor as "a persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical by the EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program", and as such it is a waste minimization priority chemical.

Tradenames for methoxychlor include Chemform, Maralate, Methoxo, Methoxcide, Metox, and Moxie.

People: Diana's common touch changed the monarchy forever
By Danica KirkaThe Associated Press
LONDON — It was so human. So accessible. So very Diana: Prince William, the heir to the British throne, sprinting down the track at London's Olympic Park with his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, and his brother, Prince Harry, in a relay race this year promoting mental health.
There was a time when such a scene would not have happened.
Princess Diana, a preschool teacher thrust into the glare of celebrity by her marriage to Prince Charles, dragged Britain's ribbon-cutting royals into the modern world. She made a direct connection with the public — once running her own race in a flowing white skirt and baggy sweater — and promoted causes far from the mainstream at the time, like land mine removal and AIDS research.
That link lives on through her sons, who have adopted their mother's more personal approach to monarchy and in the process reinvigorated the institution.
"She was the first royal who really took the public's heart," said Sandi McDonald, 55, standing outside an exhibit of the late princess' dresses at Kensington Palace. "I think her sons are the same — the public just loves them."
William and Harry are the most obvious reminders of Diana's impact. They have spoken openly about their own mental health issues over losing their mother while so young and broken down taboos just as their mother did by embracing AIDS patients to ease fears about the disease. But the princess' most far-reaching legacy is her popularization of the idea that celebrities can use their ties to millions of people they've never met to bring about change.
Having been swallowed up by the royal machine when she was barely 20, Diana found her way in life after realizing that the public was fascinated by her every thought. She was able to manipulate that interest to promote causes such as land mine clearance and to tell her side of the story when her marriage collapsed amid Prince Charles' relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, who later became his second wife.
Today's celebrities in every field have adopted that model — created when newspapers and the evening news were the primary sources of information — and pumped it full of steroids in the world of Facebook and Instagram.
"You can sort of trace the molecular chain or genetic chain between Diana and Kim Kardashian," said sociologist Ellis Cashmore, the author of "Elizabeth Taylor: A Private Life for Public Consumption."
"Imagine if Twitter or Facebook had been around in [Diana's] day!"

Over the past few decades a transformation has swept over the business world like wildfire, steadily gaining speed and breadth. Old models have been upended, new ones have arisen, and their progeny have become billion-dollar mission critical capabilities. That revolution is big data and analytics, and the impact on business aviation is reaching an inflection point.
Surprisingly, many people have no idea what Big Data really is. They hear talk about "the fourth industrial revolution" or "artificial intelligence" and their eyes glaze over with thoughts of some far-off flying car future they may never live to see. It's easy to assume the impossibilities when you imagine the logistical hurdles of robot jets and food pills.
The truth is that big data is much more subtle than this, and you likely encounter it dozens of times every day without realizing it. Whether it's your Nest thermostat adapting to your schedule, a search engine suggesting trends and topics you really ARE interested in, your car adjusting to driving patterns, your insurer using hundreds of data points to instantly predict your credit score, or flight plans that auto-update based on shifting weather patterns, it is ALL part of this new world. Big data is simply the ability to use data and information to inform or automate decisions, with processes that once took days and multiple people now taking seconds and a simple algorithm.
Take commercial aviation as an example. Over a decade ago the industry suffered from poor profitability, excess capacity, misaligned resources, and generally weak insight into consumer behavior. Today's airlines are essentially data engines with planes attached. They process terabytes of information a DAY from multiple sources to drive dynamic pricing, shift aircraft in the face of maintenance and weather events, calculate optimal fuel strategies, open new routes, and dozens of other decisions. People may not always like the results, but it doesn't change the fact that the airlines are enjoying their best period in decades.
As a group purchasing organization (GPO), AVIAÂ's mission is to leverage scale and transparency to reduce friction and facilitate a revolution in the way operators and suppliers come together. A huge portion of that is driven by data and analytics. Our network affords us a level of procurement intelligence that lets us optimize member spend. Our tools enable operators to see where they're saving and missing vs. market prices or benchmarks on not only individual transactions but whole servicing pillars, aircraft, and airports. Our analytics will help our suppliers understand member deployment and trends, improving and optimizing resource allocation. We can identify and anticipate the needs of our members based on business patterns, presenting ideas and options they may not be considering.
The very process of uncovering and connecting great suppliers creates its own data network, both providing members with access to previously unknown capabilities and creating a B2B lattice of supplier inter-dependency. And as we scale our business, our APIs will enable our members and suppliers to bring much of this data to other industry platforms and services, exponentially compounding the level of insight and efficiency they can achieve.
The first step in this process was the introduction of the AVIAÂ Member Dashboard, a reporting platform that gives operators the kind of detailed spending insights and analytical insights previously reserved for financial services. By reconciling transactions from members and suppliers it provides a single source of truth that answers real business questions. Over the next 12 months we're going to be releasing a host of additional services and tools, including an enhanced Member Dashboard, a Supplier Dashboard, internal analytics platforms, and more selective apps targeted at some of the key decision makers and actors within the procurement pipeline.
We've deliberately built a hybrid team with experts from inside and outside aviation. It's a model that has enabled our product and engineering teams to not only introduce disruptive insights from industries that have undergone the data revolution, but to lens those insights through the prism of deep business aviation knowledge and expertise.

"Without question, the standout artist of Pagliacci was Adler Fellow Amitai Pati, who sang Beppe's Serenade with the lightness, grace and beauty of the great Tito Schipa"
(San Francisco Classical Voice, September 2018)
Samoan tenor Amitai Pati recently made a spectacular European debut as Nadir (Les pêcheurs de perles) at the Philharmonie de Paris. The French critics commented "Amitai Pati performs a moving Nadir, endowed with a superb tenor voice, ideal in the role" (Toute la culture, March 2020) and "The young singer makes a sensational debut in Paris" (Forum Opéra, March 2020).
In the current season Amitai Pati makes several notable international appearances. He makes his British operatic debut with English National Opera as Ferrando in Così fan tutte under Kerem Hasan. As a former Adler Fellow, he returns to San Francisco Opera as Don Ottavio in a new production of Don Giovanni, conducted by Bertrand de Billy and makes his Seattle Opera debut as Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore. On the concert stage, he joins the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. Elsewhere at home, he's recently appeared with Orchestra Wellington in Orff's Carmina Burana, Bartók's Cantata Profana, and with New Zealand Opera as Jupiter/Apollo in Handel's Semele.
Amitai Pati's commitments with San Francisco Opera in the 2018/19 season included Beppe in I pagliacci conducted by Daniele Callegari, Lord Cecil in Roberto Devereux under Riccardo Frizza, and Angel Quartet in Jake Heggie's It's a Wonderful Life conducted by Patrick Summers. Elsewhere in the same season he recorded La fanciulla del West and Madama Butterfly with the Gulbenkian Orchestra under Lawrence Foster, due for release by Pentatone.

Amitai Pati received his master's degree in advanced vocal studies at the Wales International Academy of Voice under the tutelage of tenor Dennis O'Neill. In 2014, he was invited to join the Young Singers Project in Salzburg, Austria, where he appeared in performances and concerts including La favorite with Elīna Garanča, Juan Diego Flórez, and Ludovic Tézier, and the tenor solo in Mozart's Spatzenmesse under Christoph Koncz. Following this, he became a participant of the 2016 Merola Opera Program, singing his first principal role as Ferrando in Così fan tutte under Mark Morash. He worked on a wide repertoire including Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, Gastone in La traviata and Borsa in Rigoletto, both under the baton of Nicola Luisotti during his time in San Francisco.
An experienced concert artist, Amitai Pati has toured with the New Zealand Youth Choir, Graduate Choir, and the Auckland University Choir. He has sung in master classes with the many great singers including Joseph Rouleau, Della Jones, Dame Josephine Barstow, Dame Anne Murray and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
Along with his brother Pene Pati and their cousin Moses Mackay, Amitai is a member of the highly successful vocal trio SOL3 MIO, and signed to Universal Music.
Dies bildnis ist bezaubernd schön © Amitai Pati
"Jupiter intervened before the wedding could take place, opulently sung by the tenor Amitai Pati; lascivious and arrogant, he swept Semele away in a moment of carefree mutual lust."
(Opera Magazine, January 2021)
"Amitai Pati performs a moving Nadir, endowed with a superb tenor voice, ideal in the role."
Toute la Culture, March 2020
"The young singer makes a sensational debut in Paris."
(Forum Opéra, March 2020)
"Amitai Pati, the only non-French speaker, was not out of place in the evening's cast. Although he lacks an accent, he shares with the other singers perfectly intelligible diction that makes it unnecessary to read the surtitles."
"Tenor Amitai Pati's light, lyrical tenor was as well suited to a familiar aria from Friedrich von Flotow's Martha as it was to a caressing a Franz Lehár love song"
(San Francisco Classical Voice, December 2018)
"young tenor Amitai Pati deserves special kudos for singing Beppo's serenade exquisitely"
(Bachtrack, October 2018)
"Without question, the standout artist of Pagliacci was Adler Fellow Amitai Pati, who sang Beppe's Serenade with the lightness, grace and beauty of the great Tito Schipa. Of everyone onstage, only Pati sounded absolutely right for his part"
"New Zealand tenor Amitai Pati played Lord Cecil as smug and fully confident of his ability to align the Queen's interests with his own"
(Opera Warhorses, September 2018)
"In smaller roles, tenor Amitai Pati as Lord Cecil…contributed exceptional portrayals"
(Seen and Heard, September 2018)
"Other Adler Fellows made excellent smaller contributions: Amitai Pati's sunny sound as Lord Cecil contrasted with his character's gleeful evil"
(San Franciscio Classical Voice, September)
"Amitai Pati (Pene Pati's brother and fellow Adler Fellow) and Amina Edris (Pene Pati's wife and fellow Adler Fellow) sounded excellent as, respectively, Matteo Borsa and Countess Ceprano, making this premiere a successful family party"
(San Francisco Classical Voice, June 2017)

This month Wendy Davis, star of "Army Wives", is sharing her skin care routine and favorite products with us. Now in it's third season, "Army Wives" airs Sundays at 10 PM on Lifetime. In the role of Lt. Colonel Joan Burton, the beautiful and talented Wendy Davis shines and commands attention whenever she is on screen. "Army Wives", shot on location in Charleston, South Carolina, also stars Catherine Belle and Kim Delaney.
In addition to her immense talent, Wendy is an extraordinarily lovely woman both inside and out. Wendy is IT! She's got it, baby, and from the moment you encounter Wendy Davis you are both charmed and enchanted. Check Wendy out on "Army Wives" and enjoy reading about her skincare routine.
Being an actress on "Army Wives" I am constantly required to wear heavy makeup for filming. My skin is sensitive and susceptible to breakouts if I don't stay on it. I'm a no fuss kind of a girl, so I simply use products that work for me and aren't complicated to use. My skin care routine is super easy; I wash my face in the morning, after work (to get rid of the heavy make-up) and at night before I go to bed. The product line that I use is Obagi Nu-Derm and it's awesome. They have a simple 1-4 step process that keeps my skin clear and radiant. When I'm not on the set I rarely wear make-up because Obagi keeps my skin looking like a million bucks.
Obagi Nu-Derm. Cant live without it.
Even though I'm African American I can still get sunburn. I've learned that the hard way. Yikes! Don't ever want to do that again. I keep a tube of Obagi Nu-Derm Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35 in my purse, just in case I decide to play in the sun.
While on location in Charleston, South Carolina for "Army Wives," my favorite spa is The Spa at Charleston Place on Meeting Street. A great place with lots of amenities.
Warm Stone Massage. Love, love, love it! The energy of smooth heated stones melts away everyday stress and tension. The stones make me feel like I'm connecting with earth and the natural world. I feel so refreshed after a warm stone massage.
Keep your face clean and moisturize ladies. You'll look great with or without makeup.

"Rapid Area Assessment or RAA prepared us for immersion in a community. Discovering the diversity and living it even for just a short time helped us design projects that can create real impact in the community." This is how Shailendra Jha describes his experience of the five-day course field work he attended on the first term towards earning a Master in Development Management (MDM) at the AIM.
The RAA encapsulates what MDM is all about – a graduate program that provides opportunities for experiential learning to bridge the gap between theory and practice. A student of MDM combines classroom activities, exposure in the field, and platforms for real world applications.
During the RAA, students work in learning teams and enter a specific geographical site. Once there, they employ various methodologies to discover the development problems within an organization, a community, or a social space, AND go to the root causes of the problems. It is a true integration course where the application of different learnings happen – from in-depth analyses of the development environment to human behavior and development organizations.
After a very successful Urban Focus on the City of Makati, MDM school head, Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go realized the value of shifting to communities in the urban areas. RAA students then were able to deliver actionable recommendations to the peace and order council of Makati which, in turn, used these to further improve their urban development plans.
This time, the focus is on Pasay City which shares several borders with Makati. Pasay is also unique on many fronts. One of the original four cities that composed the Metro Manila of old, Pasay is a melting pot of all socio-economic classes. Once a coastal city, its sea-front has gradually been pushed back as more land has been reclaimed. It lodges the country's primary airport and the Philippine Air Force base. For the longest time, it has had the dubious reputation of being an "informal" sin city – with its gambling dens and night spots. Yet, it remains a bedroom community, the closest to the country's primary business district.
To take advantage of the unique make-up of Pasay, the RAA class requested assignment to widely disparate barangays – on the one hand a socio-economically depressed community with its attendant problems, and on the other, a middle to upper-middle class barangay with its own set of challenges.
The students of this term's RAA course learned valuable lessons – both hard and soft skills. At the most basic level, it honed assessment skills from start to finish. "The RAA helped us conceptualize the frameworks that will guide fieldwork and analysis. We had to dig deep analyze both quantitative and qualitative data … and we learned to develop our own RAA tools," says Etrobal Laborte who works for the government.
From the data, "we are able to specifically recommend more specific solutions … knowing their problems, knowing some of the recommended solutions, we can identify the proper government agency to address those problems," Laborte continues.
More than the hard skills, RAA students agree that it is that opportunity to connect with the people that delivers the most profound learning.
After the exercise, the different teams came together to come up with a consolidated report to submit to the City Administrator of Pasay, something that was really appreciated. In the end, that reporting session came out as a sharing between the MDM students reporting their findings and giving their recommendations, and the City Administrator who shared his own views and the limitations under which the city officials work.
More than the output, RAA students learned the value of fieldwork. "I had some good experiences with working with the team. We learned we had different strengths and we did get to know each other in a deeper way because we were together for a few months," Shailendra Jha proudly admits.


With record attendance of more than 300 construction IT professionals, the AGC IT Forum delivered another top-notch conference this year in Chicago. From big data to mobile apps to the ever-popular topic of affordable solutions, the two-day conference, held on July 30-Aug. 1, 2014, kept the ideas flowing and the excitement building. Clearly, the IT game is one everyone wants (and should) be playing. As noted in one session, IT in the construction industry is a freight train that can't be stopped. And, in a competitive industry like construction, a collaborative event such as the IT Forum Conference keeps everyone on the same track.
James Vaselopulos, senior vice president, PSC Group, LLC, led the train out of the station with his keynote address on Big Data. A frequently misunderstood topic, big data is not going anywhere and Vaselopulos demonstrated how construction professionals can and should leverage it effectively.
"@AGCIT Forum is for sure one of the most exciting tech events in construction industry."
Self-proclaimed app guru Rob McKinney, J.M. Wilkerson Construction, led an informative session on apps and all they have to offer. McKinney even introduced participants to App Alchemy, a revolutionary tactic on connecting stand-alone apps, allowing IT professionals the opportunity to create their own enterprise-level solutions.
"Just saw an excellent presentation by Rob McKinney @conappguru on #construction #apps at the @AGCIT #changingthegame #technology"
One of the many stand-out events at the IT Forum Conference was the session on Affordable Solutions, moderated by Howie Piersma, VP technology, Pepper Construction. This is an outstanding collaborative platform, where attendees shared solutions they've found valuable and sought answers to problems not yet solved. From ideas on solving connectivity issues in remote areas to video conferencing solutions to identifying a hotel's wifi speed – the group covered it all. In a world where information technology is rolling down the track at high speed, it's nice to hear the practical applications of the many options for construction professionals.
James Benham, president, JBKnowledge, Inc., always gets the IT motor running. There's no lack of passion with this guy and his love for gadgets is infectious. His session ran the gamut from what's changed, what's new, and what's ahead. If it's new in IT, Benham either had it on display or will be the first to try it out. From tech wearables to 4D models to drones, Benham covered it all.
"Always blown away when I see @JamesMBenham speak. It's been a great two days at the @AGCIT Forum."
Additional highlights of the conference included a session on The Ups and Downs of Cloud Computing, presented by the IT Steering Committee panel; Construction Mobility Trends with William Tegethoff, AT&T Construction Solutions; an interoperability RFI demo by John Goecke, founder & COO, StratusVue, Todd Juhnke and Blake Hudson, project manager, Brasfield & Gorrie; and BIM – How to Stay Above it, by John Jurewicz, president, LTC Technologies.
The Town Hall meeting closed up another great IT Forum Conference. When asked to reflect on the value of the conference, Rosemary Doerner, IT manager, Pinkard Construction Co., replied, "Excellent conference! I'm very glad I attended. All of the topics were relevant and full of information. And they did a great job of staying on schedule. Very well done – looking forward to the next conference."
Others agree. First-time attendee Sam Lamonica, VP/CIO, Rosendin Electric, commented, "This was my first year at the AGC IT Conference and I'd like to tell you that it was definitely worth it. Good content and great networking."
Lane Mitchell, chairman, IT Forum Steering Committee, extended his thanks to all involved in this year's conference, "We enjoyed great collaboration, outstanding information and very successful networking with IT professionals in the construction industry."
In addition to all the attendees, the AGC IT Forum Conference thanks its sponsors: Computer Guidance Corporation, Smart Use, AT&T, Soonr, Assemble, Kahua, .build, iSqFt, Textura, Coins, Nasuni, Note Vault, Pepper Construction, Mortenson and CMiC.

This is an IT event not to be missed. See you at next year's show!


Universal Studios Hollywood has been quietly chugging along on their version of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The new area was announced at Universal Studios Hollywood back in 2011 during a giant Butterbeer toast. The original Hogsmeade opened at Islands of Adventure in June of 2010.
The new area will be similar to the versions already open at Universal OrlandO Resort and most recently, Universal Studios Japan. The area will be based on the Hogsmeade section of The Wizarding World and not the recently opened Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.
The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride and Three Broomsticks are all rumored to be part of the new area at Universal Studios Hollywood along with some of the other retail spots at Hogsmeade, which will most likely be announced during the June 2 broadcast.
The announcement will happen on on June 2 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT on Universal Studios Hollywood's Youtube channel here.
We will most likely also get an opening date for the new area as well.

The Dirty Thirty-Five: Prospect #29
THIS IS A COUNTDOWN!!!!! Over the next forty-something days starting on February 12th and ending on March 28th, I will be rolling out my Top 35 prospects in the Cardinals organization. We call it "The Dirty Thirty-Five" because it's marketable, I think. Also, we call it that because my write-ups and evaluations are a little different. I'm kind of quirky and goofy guy and the evaluations fit that personality. I've already written about the four players that graduated off the list. I've also written about the guys that just missed the list. You should check those out because you're going to have questions about my sanity afterwards. The article about the guys that didn't make the D35 is really freaking good. This list is my own. It's terrible. I'm fine with it. Remember, have fun with these lists. Ranking prospects is a joke, but it's fun so treat all of the prospect ranking accordingly.
Connor Jones - Right-Handed RELIEF Pitcher, now
Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2016 draft
Double-A Springfield
STATS AS OF 5-1-2019
This is a story that a better narrator would really thrive while telling.
Jones is a big kid with at least one big pitch. He's one step away from the majors, too, and he made it there in two and a half seasons. This is usually the kind of story tagline that would sell the readership with the dust jacket, alone.
I, however, am a wretch of a human being. So, instead, what you are going to get is a narrator/evaluator that is more than likely half-drunk and telling the story wrong.
This evaluation is basically the "Norm MacDonald's autobiography" of player evaluations: "Based On A True Story."
Truth be told, I've just never been that big of a fan of the big-bodied-right-hander out of the University of Virginia. I certainly haven't given him the credit that he deserves. My issue all along has been that his pitches are just too good to be hit the way that they are/were being hit. There would be singular starts in which he'd put it together and be groovin', but he never seemed to carry that momentum from start to start. As good as his sinker was at times, or as dynamic as his breaking ball would show, nothing ever really seemed to work at the same time. I mean, just look at this offspeed pitch:
Seems to me like he slows down his arm to throw this
On top of this, he has an issue repeating his mechanics. It's relatively easy for a hitter to pick up the ball out of his hand. My guess is, he's tipping his pitches because of the little hiccups in repeatability, too. There's the whole "thing" about pitcher's mechanics and how the University of Virginia forces kids to conform to pitching mechanics and style, but that's a story for a better writer. The relevant gist is, U-o-V pitchers have a tendency to fizzle out in the minors big-time because of what they are taught at the University. This is probably why his stuff is hit the way that it's hit.
I've left Jones off of nearly every list that I've put together since he's entered the organization for the reasons that I just listed. He just didn't have "it" to me, whatever that might actually mean. Even as recently as the Arizona Fall League this past October/November, he just seemed "fine" at best.
Actually, now that I type it, "Fine: At Best" should really be the name of the Connor Jones story up to this point in his career.
So, you might be asking yourself "why put him on the list now, shit-for-brains?"
The answer is "now, for the first time, I see his clear and best path to the majors."
More than likely, Jones will start the year pitching in Memphis' rotation. Good. That's perfect for him and that's where he needs to be as he continues to refine both his mechanics and repertoire. Now, there is always the chance that he'll start the season pitching out of the Memphis bullpen. Last year, he had a quick little four game taste of AAA in July that didn't go so well. Then, when he was returned to AA at the end of August, he pitched exclusively out of the pen. In the Arizona Fall League, he also pitched exclusively out of the bullpen, but that isn't really that telling. That's how it works out there, more often than not. I'll get into more detail in a bit, but I think the bullpen is best for Mr. Jones in the long-run. However, I'd still like for him to get SP innings until he's needed out of the major league bullpen.
It's going to be his big sinker that's been clocked at 98 MPH this offseason that is going to take him to the promised land. The .gif below happened in mid-July. He was only throwing his sinker about 91-93 during this start, but this will give you some idea of how good it can be (great job by Andrew Knizner on the frame, too. A little "stabby" but not awful):
Now, the sinker isn't always lively, and that's part of the reason why he gets into trouble. To compare, take a look at this next .gif. It'll go flat. If he's locating it properly, he can still get away with it. If he's not, then he's in trouble. He locates the hell out of this one:
His slider/changeup mix is going to be the next big part of the conversation. That first .gif in this article is of a beautiful breaking pitch that is categorized as a slider, surprisingly. It can be very good, as demonstrated in that .gif. More often than not, he just doesn't have a feel for it.
Then, there's his changeup. Which, honestly, I don't know what to think of. When it's working, it mimics the sinker perfectly. When it's not working perfectly, it's a sitting duck. THIS, is a good one (I double checked my velocity notes just to make sure that it was a change. Hard to believe with that arm-side run. Really mimics that sinker, right?!):
I still don't have a great feel for what the future of his breaking stuff will be but, right now, it seems like it'll be just enough to make him the Mike Mayers of Seth Maness...es...?
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE ARE READING THIS HAHAHAHAHA.
I'm trying to tell you that if Mike Mayers and Seth Maness had a baby, it'd be Connor Jones.
Anyway, what I'm really trying to saying is, he's more dynamic with more velocity out of the bullpen (that's the Mike Mayers part) than Seth Maness, but he's going to do exactly what Seth Maness did as a Cardinal: induce a lot of groundballs using his heavy sinker in the bottom half of the strike zone. What his strikeout numbers will look like will all come down to how the slider continues to develop and which one of his other offerings will develop the most.
One of the reasons that I'd be happy if the Cardinals moved Jones to the bullpen full-time is because I think it would do the repeatability of his motion some good. He definitely does a better job of repeating his motion out of the stretch as opposed to the wind-up. The issue there is, he doesn't command his stuff as well out of the stretch. I'm probably being naïve, but I think that it might do him well to pitch out of the stretch as much as possible regardless of whether he's pitching out of the bullpen or the rotation.
Other than that, I'm not going to bog down this write-up with much more. This is basically the gist of Connor Jones.
The truth is, when you omit a player that will certainly make it to the major leagues from a list of the top thirty-five prospects in any given system, well, you are probably doing it wrong. While Jones isn't my favorite pitching prospect by any means, he's in the minority as a pitching prospect with defined (and appealing) tools to help a major league organization sooner rather than later. Sure, it won't be sexy or awe-inspiring, but it will be good enough to use up a couple of option years. He'll do this while providing both the infield grass and the infield dirt at Busch Stadium with the kneading that it deserves within the next two seasons.
MAY 1st UPDATE
At this point, it's pretty well documented that I am not the biggest fan of Jones, AND that I've always viewed him as a reliever long term. With that being said, I HATE WITH EVERY OUNCE OF ME that the Cardinals have already turned him into a reliever in the minors. He needs the innings, even as a 24-year-old. Sending him to the pen to start the season really feels like a death sentence to his, to me. Also, it's a pointless move because the Cardinals are just using minor league veterans to fill those innings, not their own players with a potential major league future.
Anyway, Jones is a pen arm now. He's been fine.
Thank you to FanGraphs for providing the stats within this article.

Gardens by the bay is situated strategically opposite Marina Bay Sands and conveniently accessible via MRT (mass rapid transit) at Bayfront Station. It's a nice place for a relaxing day out with pretty flowers and plants to brighten your day, and ample restaurants to satisfy your taste buds.
I was there for a company dinner & dance (D&D) and so did not manage to take photos of the surroundings. The theme of the D&D was hawaiian cruise. At the flower dome, we were greeted with colleagues in garlands and were provided with one.
Cocktails, fresh coconut drink, beer, and hor d'oeuvres were served at the entrance to the ballroom. And the fun began with colorful lights in the ballroom, shark & diver, menu for the night and the super trees glowing in the night!
I loved your photos. What interesting lights.


Over the last several years Boone County Kentucky has been blessed with growth and economic development. Our geographical location in the united states gives us a distinct advantage over several other places in the United States. For starters, our airport is ranked #7 in the amount of cargo it ships per year. You can reach over 68% of the country's population within a day's drive and we are no more than a 5-hour flight to the furthest coast. If you compound that with our favorable tax rates (compared to other parts of the county) you get a recipe for rapid growth and development, and just like all things that change you will have some that are in favor and support it, you will have some that oppose it and you will have some that see both the pros and the cons and like to see the growth but want it done in a controlled way.
Now no matter where you fall on the spectrum as far as your feelings toward economic growth one thing is for certain and that is there are laws and rules on governing changes in zoning, and these are rules that are set at a state level that we must all abide by.
I will attempt to explain some of those rules, the boards and commissions involved and the checks and balances that are in place.
The planning commission in Boone County is made up of 15 members and they hear all the zoning map amendment requests in the county. Six of the members are appointed by the Judge Executive and then confirmed by county fiscal court, much like how the U.S. Senate confirms a president's pick for a federal judge. Then six of the members are selected by the city of Florence Mayor, and confirmed by city council. Two are selected in this same fashion by the city of Walton and one from the city of Union.
Each person on this board serves for a term of four years before they need to either be replaced or reappointed to this position. This board functions as a "quasi-judicial" body as they are not elected by the public at large, but rather appointed, and they make votes that impact property owners and land uses.
Now that you know how planning and zoning board is set up, we can discuss a little bit on how they operate. Kentucky Revised Statue 100.211 is the law that governs just how this quasi-judicial governing body works. In order to have a meeting and take any action, they must have a quorum, which in this case is a majority body of at least 8 of the 15 members present. As each zone map amendment request comes in there is a set of laws for notifying of the public that must take place. You may have noticed signs posted on a property that read "zoning hearing change" or received a letter for a piece of property near you because of an upcoming hearing.
They are not sending these to you because they want to be nice and let you know of something happening; however, it is required by law to give everyone an opportunity to show up at the hearing and testify in front of the commission either for or against the proposed zone change.
The planning commission will consider all evidence submitted to them. This is through a multitude of ways. It can be future site development plans, expert witness testimony, testimony from citizens of the public, environmental reports, what is the like kind of the area and so on. In all the evidence that is submitted to planning commission the key thing to remember is that they must decide if the zone change is supported by the law and the facts only, and then makes its decision on the request. In other words, they simply cannot say they do not like it because they've had a bad experience with a home builder or a store that wants to build there.
Their ruling is a vote and what that majority votes is then sent to the County Fiscal Court or city council (depending on if it's in the city or the unincorporated part of the county) for them to take the next steps in the process. The key thing to remember is that the planning and zoning commissions vote is a recommendation to the legislative body; however, as we will discuss here in the upcoming paragraphs, that recommendation does hold quite a bit of legal weight.
Next in the process is the legislative body decision, or the fiscal court or city council. Keep in mind that the fiscal court and city council must act on the recommendation from the planning and zoning commission within 90 days of them making it. They are not allowed to ignore it and not bring it before their meetings for action. They must also hold two hearings for this. The first one is a public-information-only hearing. This is when the planning and zoning representative will come to the fiscal court or council meeting and present the case of the zoning map amendment request. The public is invited to attend but they are not allowed to speak for or against it. The legislators (commissioners and council persons) can ask questions for clarification sake of the representative.; however, no vote or action will be taken at this meeting. There must be at least 30 days from this meeting to the next meeting until the second meeting takes place at which the public is then invited and notified to attend; however, this time they can address the legislative body on the change, and then there will be a vote.
During the presentation of the evidence to fiscal court the planning and zoning representative will give all evidentiary information submitted to them for the initial request, along with their vote either recommending or denying it. It is important to know that the Kentucky State laws explicitly prohibit county commissions and city council persons from considering any other evidence other than what is submitted to them. So, for example, if someone shows up speaking out against a developer because of a personal problem they have experienced, no matter what it is, the legislative body is not allowed to consider that evidence unless it was in fact submitted to them through the planning and zoning commission hearings.
The critical and often misunderstood part of the process is the vote and the recommendation by planning and zoning.
Remember when I told you earlier that the recommendation by planning and zoning carried significant legal weight?
That is because for the legislative body to overturn their recommendation it takes a super majority of the whole body, not just a majority of the quorum. What that means is that in Boone County we have three commissioners and one judge-executive, a total of four voting members. If Fiscal Court wanted to overturn a zoning map amendment recommendation it would require three votes to do so. If the court is split at a 2–2 tie, which sometimes does happen, then the planning and zoning map amendment request gets set aside for 90 calendar days, then planning and zonings recommendation will take effect. Often people will assume that it's Fiscal Court that has the final say in these matters but to not realize that there is a check-and-balance system in place and that in order to overturn planning and zonings recommendations that there must be a consensus of the majority of it's voting members.
In order for this process to be changed it will require a change of the laws at a state level, which is where your representatives, state senators and governor work and implement those changes and procedures.

If you remember GDPR, the thought of another data protection regulation may fill you with dread! Well as with GDPR, Banks' Business Solutions is here to support you through the changes that will be coming later this year and we have been speaking to Univate to find out how these changes may affect you. Of course with Brexit still lingering we don't know exactly how the ICO will implement these changes but we are pleased to share this blog from Kieran McGeehan, Managing Director & Compliance / Data Protection Specialist at Univate to help you make some sense of it all.
You'd be forgiven for not knowing much about ePrivacy, as the regulation remains in European Parliament for approval, with decisions on it's future likely being made in the Spring of 2019.


During the late 1980's it became apparent that the French River walleye fishery was in decline. It was noted by recreational anglers as well as the local tourist lodges whose economic viability was threatened by the walleye decline.
In response to the declining fishery a French River Fishery Cooperative was created led by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) as well as interested tourist operators, and members of our local French River community.
Scientific studies based upon the Fall Walleye Index Netting Protocol (FWIN) were initiated. The FWIN program is designed to measure the relative abundance, size and age distribution, mortality, growth rates and conditions of a walleye population.
Based on the initial studies a French River Management Recovery Plan was instituted in 1993. The goals of the plan were to improve the yield from the fishery, reduce fishing mortality on maturing and mature walleye to increase spawning stock, and to ensure overfishing does not occur. All this without reducing recreational fishing opportunities.
The key component to achieve these goals was the slot size instituted to protect maturing and mature walleye.
The French River Stewardship Council partnered with MNR Sudbury during the fall of 2013 and completed a FWIN to assess how the plan was working 20 years after its inception.
The most exciting news that can be reported is that the walleye population in Eighteen Mile Bay and Ranger Bay is growing and rebounding with a moderate number of spawners, and three strong year classes of immature fish that should start to spawn in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
This is particularly exciting for the Stewardship Council as we have spent substantial amounts of money as well as volunteer hours cleaning spawning beds in this area, and have actually built two new beds below Oullette Rapids. These two new spawning beds were active this year and will contribute to a strong year class in this area. These fish should reach maturity and spawn in 2018 or 2019.
For the balance of the river, since the regulation changes more fish are reaching maturity, there is a more balanced distribution of ages, mortality has decreased and the population is growing slowly.
The fishery that was feared to be collapsing as recently as 1997 and 98 now has a good chance of increasing, protecting populations for recreational users and the tourist operators.
The French River Stewardship Council is now attempting to raise funding for a review of the French River Fishery Management Plan, with more scientific studies and spawning habitat improvements to our fishery.

Loneliness and social isolation have become silent killers and studies have shown that they're as dangerous to our health as smoking and obesity. But what can be done? "Behavioral epidemics need behavioral medicines," says Dilip Jeste, MD, a geriatric neuropsychiatrist who specializes in successful aging.
Jeste suggests harnessing wisdom as a vaccine – a trait that can be honed over the lifespan. Jeste's research demonstrates a strong correlation between creating a balance of self-reflection, compassion, emotional regulation, accepting diversity, and spirituality with lowered feelings of loneliness and isolation. Hear more about the science of wisdom during this insightful talk from the Stein Institute for Research on Aging.

Imaging Studies: A Revealing Look
Research imaging studies are crucial to finding effective treatments and therapies. Protocols are in place to protect both the study participant and the science, but what if the images reveal a previously unknown condition? Or a false positive or negative? Unraveling this question is more than a simple task and the consequences can range from unnecessary worry to wrong treatment decisions.
Kathryn Fowler, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology, walks you through how studies are designed to avoid this scenario and the ethics of patients and physicians being made aware of research results if they are not verifiably accurate.

Q: WPF Templates error - "Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception." I've just started experimenting with WPF templates vs. styles and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  The goal below is to alternate the colors of the options in the menu.  The code works fine with just the , but when I copy and paste/rename it for the second segment of "MenuChoiceOdd" I get the following error:
> Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception.
Sample of the code:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Template_Testing"

                </StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </Border>
    </Grid>
</Window>

What am I doing wrong?

A: Similarly to others - this horrific error message just meant I had a syntax error in my xaml:
<CheckBox Height="" IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"  Width="80">

Notice I hadn't filled in the height value..

A: I had the same error caused by:
<Border Margin="5" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="" Width="Auto"/>

fixed by putting a number in BorderThickness

A: In my case, I changed the project name. After I got this error. I re-selected the images and saw that I needed to change the resource name of images too.
        <Image x:Name="imgSrc" Grid.Row="1" Source="/PREV%20-%20Filter;component/Images/Subtraktive%20Farbmischung%20%28Malen%20mit%20Wasserfarben%29.jpg" />

/PREV%20-%20Filter;component needs to be corrected to /DSP%20-%20Filter;component in my case.

A: Assigning Width="*" on Grid gave me the error, which looks weird at the first time, but all it is trying to say is that the markup couldn't be converted to actual type.

A: Oy it's Monday...
When I copied pasted the color string from another control it put two "##"s in the prefix here:
<GradientStop Color="##FFCBCBCB" Offset="1" />

Still a lousy error message.

A: Unlike others, I had my XAML syntax correct.
<ImageBrush ImageSource="..\Images\previous_icon.png" />

This error started appearing when i changed my image - later realised i did change the image in my folder but forgot to Include it in my project .
Hence although XAML could show me the image in 'Desgn' View - I faced this exception @ run time.
Silly one.

A: I had the same error when using Grey instead of Gray in my BorderBrush
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Grey"/>

instead of
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Gray"/>

A: Here is another instance of this error and how I resolved it.
This appears to have been caused by upgrading my project from VS2010 to VS2012 and VS2013. Not sure exactly why that would be an issue here, but I guess it is.
I developed a Visual Studio Wizard to automate the process of adding a project to our very large solution (300+ projects) as there are additional requirements for us developers to help maintain the project. I used WPF for the wizard and that worked well for VS2010. I upgraded the project to VS2012 and VS2013 and I started getting this error. Turns out that at some point the path to my icon and image files was screwed up. Once I corrected it - which I did directly within the XAML - I stopped getting the error.
In case you may need help referencing resources - this is the post I used to correct my issues: How to reference an icon resource file reference in XAML

A: I had the same when I forgot curly brackets:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsWhiteboardShared}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="StaticResource AccentColorBlueBrush"/>
</DataTrigger>

A: I was tasked to fix a bug where a similar error message was being shown ad infinitum. When I found out that the following caused the issue, I was a little disappointed (Was expecting something more complex and catastrophic!):
<Style BasedOn="{StaticResource LinkButton}" TargetType="Button" >

where LinkButton should have been LinkButtonStyle.

A: I had the same error, but was using the wrong path for an image in the resources folder
I had this...
<controls:ImageButton Grid.Column="2" ImageButtonSource="Resources/close_normal.png"/>

but i needed this...
<controls:ImageButton Grid.Column="2" ImageButtonSource="../Resources/close_normal.png"/>

Had to add ../ at the start to go back one folder first

A: I had the same error when using 'OutBox' for this code:
                      <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <materialDesign:PackIcon Kind="OutBox" Width="25" Height="25" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="5" Foreground="DodgerBlue"/>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

OutBox was Unknow Value so changed to 'StopCircle' then fixed...

A: This exact context of the exception seems to vary as others answers point out but generally it occurs when value in beetwen "" in XAML has some incorrect data in it.
I encounteted the error in the same circumstances as James and it helped me to look at what's inside of InnerException which contained the actual exception cause.

Long before European settlement, Somerset County was the summer hunting grounds for at least three different Native American tribes- Shawnee, Iroquois, and Delaware. Today two known trails crossed the county: one to the south – the National Road; and one to the north – the Lincoln Highway.
The first permanent settlement in the county was in 1772 when Harmond Husband brought his family to the region. The population steadily grew despite the risks of Indian attacks.
The county is a popular vacation spot, offering skiing, professional theatre, fine dining, historical sites and an abundance of antique shops.

Malta officially has hundreds of young new experts in the business, administration, health and arts sectors!
The NSO has just confirmed that 4,580 students graduated from Malta's highest educational institutions by the end of 2017. These fresh numbers confirm an 11.4% increase in the number of graduates.
54.7% of these graduated with a Bachelor's degree, and over 1,300 pupils obtained a Masters' Degree. In all levels, female graduates outnumber males. Most graduates fell in the 20-24 age bracket, making this age group the one with the highest number of Maltese and Gozitan graduates during this period. The 25-29 age bracket followed closely.
A whopping 78% of these graduates had completed their degrees on a full-time basis in all levels, and 15.1% opted for a part-time course.
The NSO very interestingly points out three main areas of study which seemed to hit home. These are Business, Administration and Law, Health and Welfare, and Arts and Humanities. All courses were offered to students on both bases of study, to both local and foreign students.
