CNA Staff, Jan 1, 2021 / 04:09 pm (CNA).- During his upcoming administration, presumed President-Elect Joe Biden will have to deal with the issue of abortion, and Catholics must engage with him says Charles C. Camosy in an op-ed published by First Things on the last day of 2020.
Camosy, an associate professor of Theological and Social Ethics at Fordham University, says that "Biden doesn't agree with the U.S. bishops about everything, but he does care about what they say and regularly tries to fit their concerns into Democratic policy proposals."
"Perhaps Biden's newly-created office dedicated to reaching out to conservatives should at least be something worth paying attention to," writes the theologian, but warns that "if there is to be any outreach, then the Biden administration will need to address the greatest problem with today's Democratic party. And that is abortion."
"No one supports a consistent life ethic more strongly than I do," says Camosy, author of 'Resisting Throwaway Culture: How a Consistent Life Ethic Can Unite a Fractured People.' "But in advocating for the full vision of St. John Paul II's Evangelium Vitae, it does not follow that we must give all issues equal weight."
"The U.S. bishops, though they rightly have many priorities, are quite right to claim that abortion must remain the 'preeminent priority.' How could 'the greatest universal genocide' be anything else?" Camosy writes.
The author observes that "Joe Biden used to be something close to a pro-life Democrat, but he has dramatically changed his views in recent years, especially in the lead-up to the 2020 campaign. If his administration shifts the so-called Mexico City Policy so that U.S. tax dollars fund abortions overseas, as he has promised to do, Biden will become more directly complicit in abortion than at perhaps any other time in his life. He has also reversed himself on the Hyde Amendment, which means he is in favor of forcing pro-life citizens to pay for abortions with their tax dollars."
But, "Biden has supported Hyde and even late-term abortion bans in the past. He has said he believes there should be room in the Democratic Party for pro-lifers. In the past he has supported conscience protections," writes Camosy, asking: "Is there any hope we can get that guy back?"
"Given what is at stake for millions of prenatal lives—as well as their mothers (who are often coerced into abortions they don't want)—Catholics have no choice: We must engage Biden after his inauguration."
Reminding readers that "Biden is a political animal," Camosy argues that Catholics could push for "a grand bargain" that would entail "much lower thresholds for legal abortion and much higher levels of support for pregnant women and families. The combination of socially conservative and economically progressive policies fits well with Catholic teaching. And it would save hundreds of thousands of prenatal lives by reducing both supply and demand for abortion."
"Catholics committed to the fullness of the teaching of the Church have an opportunity. We can encourage Biden to return to his pro-life roots, pointing out the moral urgency of the pro-life cause."
Charles Camosy resigned from the board of Democrats for Life of America (DFLA), writing in a column in the NY Post that the Democratic Party's extreme support of abortion left him "no choice" but to leave his party.

Due to the increasing need of highly dependable services in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), service-level agreements include more and more frequently such traditional aspects as security, safety, availability, reliability, etc. Whenever a service can no longer be provided with the required QoS, the service requester need to switch dynamically to a new service having adequate service parameters. In the current paper, we propose a metamodel to capture such parameters required for reliable messaging in services in a semi-formal way (as an extension to ). Furthermore, we incorporate fault-tolerant algorithms into appropriate reconfiguration mechanisms for modeling reliable message delivery by graph transformation rules.

Mack Truck workers issue statement: Support the strike at John Deere!
Mack Truck Workers Rank-and-File Committee
To join the Mack Truck Workers Rank-and-File Committee, contact us via text at (484) 466-8841.
The Mack Trucks Workers Rank-and-File Committee expresses its strong solidarity with striking workers at John Deere and calls on them to vote down the sellout contract put forward by the United Auto Workers by the widest possible margin.
You are not alone. Right now, across many industries and across the globe many workers are striking or pushing for strike action to fight for their own rights and material gains.
Globally, more than 170,000 metal workers recently went on strike in South Africa, oil and health care workers have taken strike action in Sri Lanka and many parents in Britain have participated in weekly #ParentStrike protests against unsafe school reopenings.
Left: Mack Truck Macungie Plant, Right: Striking John Deere worker (UAW Local 838)
In America too, workers are beginning to fight back against years of corporate exploitation and union-backed sellouts. This includes, just this year, Frito Lay and Kellogg's in the food industry, workers at auto parts maker Dana, Volvo Trucks workers at the New River Valley plant in Virginia, as well as thousands of teachers, nurses and others.
Workers are realizing their value, rising inflation pushes more and more of us into battle against the corporations' attempts to push us further into poverty. At the Mack Trucks plant in Macungie, Pennsylvania, Vice President and general manager of Lehigh Valley Operations, Gunnar Brunius, has sent out letters complaining about backlog and strain. Mack has been posting hiring ads for months and months, and management has been unable to fill vacancies.
But far from carrying out a fight to maintain our living standards, the UAW is shielding the companies, setting up a series of hurdles in a bid to force workers to accept concessions.
The tactics the UAW is employing at John Deere, forcing you to re-vote on a contract you already rejected, are the same sellout tactics that it pioneered against our Volvo Trucks coworkers at New River Valley Volvo earlier this year to shut down their five-week strike (Mack Trucks is owned by Volvo Trucks, and we share the same supply chains). During that strike, the UAW made us handle scab parts, while they starved workers out at NRV on $275 a week out of our 800 million dollar strike fund. Meanwhile the UAW reserves far larger sums of money for itself, showering hundreds of top officials with six figure salaries while workers walking the picket line struggle to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, the massive UAW corruption scandal continues after the self-proclaimed "reforms" under former president Rory Gamble. The financial secretary of UAW Local 412 in Detroit, Timothy Edmunds, has been charged with embezzling over $2 MILLION in union funds, our money. The union's federal monitor Neil Barofsky said last week that he had 15 open investigations into union officials, not including a case against President Ray Curry for accepting thousands of dollars worth of football tickets from a union vendor. There is no reason to trust any UAW rep who says, "we don't have the money to pay workers on strike!"
To our Mack brothers and sisters, is there any doubt that the UAW will betray us in the same manner at contract time if we trust the same losing system we have been operating under for decades? We need to be there to support the workers at John Deere. We need to build ties across our industry so we can carry out the fights necessary to keep us all from sliding into poverty.
The purpose of our committee is not to reform the UAW. It is for us workers to organize and lead ourselves, throughout the auto industry and in the working class as a whole. To fight these massive multinational corporations, we need to unify the working class across national and sectional boundaries, take the initiative out of the hands of organizations that keep betraying our fights and "leading" us down blind alleys. The watchword for our committee, which the UAW long ago abandoned, is, "an injury to one is an injury to all!" This is why our members are also participating in the Deere Strike Rank-and-File Solidarity Committee .
Moreover, this means a fight against the entire corporate political establishment. The Democrats and Republicans are parties of the rich. The primary difference between them, as far as the struggles of the working class are concerned, is that the Democrats rely more heavily upon the services of the unions to isolate and betray us.
Just after the UAW shut down the Volvo Trucks strike, and after we formed our own committee at Mack Trucks, Biden visited the Mack plant in Macungie, Pennsylvania to promote trade war in collaboration with the unions. Today, while you are voting, Biden will be in Detroit at a GM plant for the same reason, embracing and posing for photos with the same crooks who are selling out our struggle.
The companies must be made to pay what they owe. We are the only ones who can make that happen. Our rank-and-file committee has met with John Deere's rank-and-file committee, and we will continue to meet in the future. We hope the workers can hold out despite the UAW's attempts to curb their fight and we are working to expand our rank-and-file committee to empower the fights of our brothers and sisters to new heights.
For anyone that thinks we have to wait for contract time to fight, Mack doesn't wait until contract time to make changes for their benefit. They implemented the points system to penalize us for attendance without waiting for contract time. Mack lays off workers as they see fit without waiting for contract time.
Mack has been allowed to do what they want whenever they feel like it and that needs to stop, we need to be the ones to stop it. We must forge the path ahead for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in our class, the working class.

How Hasenhüttl revolutionised Saints
By SFC Media time Sat 05 Dec	Ralph Hasenhuttl
Twitter whatsapp
Photo by Matt Watson | Ralph Hasenhüttl
On the two-year anniversary of Ralph Hasenhüttl's arrival as Southampton manager, guest columnist Sam Tighe takes a closer look at some of the key moments and tactical evolutions that have shaped the manager's reign...
1. Winds of change
Ralph Hasenhüttl's first win at the helm came in his first home game. A passionate St Mary's crowd watched Saints out-run, out-fight and eventually out-last Arsenal thanks to a team performance founded on grit and determination.
It was a performance and result that restored faith and fight not only among the players, but among the fans too. It showed clear hallmarks of rigorous training and attuning to Hasenhüttl's energetic blueprint – the result of a first full week on the training pitch under his guidance.
It's fitting that the first goal of that game – and of Hasenhüttl's tenure – was scored by Danny Ings, a player who has grown into one of the league's most influential forwards under the Austrian's stewardship.
Inspired and newly confident, Saints travelled to relegation rivals Huddersfield Town six days later and scored another three. That made it two wins on the bounce, after previously earning just one from 16 games.
2. Consistently inconsistent
Hasenhüttl's first-year impact at Saints followed a fairly traditional pattern: there was an immediate spike which earned crucial wins, but after a few months the team plateaued.
Through January and February, the team's performances were frustratingly inconsistent, lacking the desired assertiveness and focus – or a "sharpness," as the Austrian often put it in his post-match analysis.
That changed in early March. 1-0 down and thoroughly outplayed by Tottenham Hotspur at half-time –"it was almost like a training match," said Jermaine Jenas on Match of the Day – Hasenhüttl made a double substitution, bringing on Shane Long and Josh Sims, to up the energy of the side and take the game to their opponents.
Two second-half goals completed the turnaround and sparked a mini-run of good results. Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolves were beaten and those victories essentially secured Premier League survival for the season.
3. A tough start to 2019/20
A good end to the 2018/19 season and a very strong pre-season campaign led to high hopes heading into the new campaign, but things didn't go to plan.
Consecutive losses to Burnley and Liverpool opened things up, and although seven points from three games against Brighton, Manchester United and Sheffield United helped recover some momentum, a poor run followed.
Eight games without a win – including a shattering loss to Leicester City in the pouring rain – saw Saints sink into the relegation zone. November's 2-1 home loss to Everton sparked a rather honest assessment from the boss.
"No-one wanted the ball. You could feel the lack of self confidence," Hasenhüttl said. "At the moment we are not good enough."
4. A crucial international break
One of the clear trends to Southampton's performance levels under Hasenhüttl has been how well they emerge from international breaks. When given time to intensely coach and develop his players at the training ground, the results are typically spectacular.
The November 2019 international break might well have been the most important of all. The aforementioned poor run of results sparked some soul-searching and forced a realignment to the Austrian's tactical philosophy during this period and they came out firing.
The performance at the Emirates Stadium on November 23rd was a watershed moment. Brimming with belief and energy, they swarmed all over the Gunners, slicing through them with ease.
It was the first time the 4-2-2-2 formation – now seen weekly – really took hold. Hasenhüttl largely favoured a three-man defensive line over the course of his first 12 months, occasionally switching to four to see if it would stick. Finally, here, it did, and we've not seen a three-man back line even once since.
Alexandre Lacazette may have scored at the death to force a share of the spoils that day, but Saints were magnificent. It fuelled a Christmas period in which they managed four wins and a draw from five games, including a thrilling 2-0 away win against Chelsea on Boxing Day.
5. Lockdown focus
March's national lockdown forced the Premier League to hit pause, giving Hasenhüttl another golden chance to address a dip in form and re-energise his troops.
Meanwhile, The Playbook – an overarching club philosophy that will see all age groups taught Hasenhüttl's methods and look to ease first-team transition in the future—was rolled out and enacted.
A focus of those learnings is the work "against (off) the ball". Hasenhüttl often refers to his team's "automatisms" when discussing pressing, with his aim to install pressing triggers and movements that are so ingrained, they become automatic.
But with the senior side, the focus of lockdown fell on their on-the-ball work: Doing more with it, creating more chances and scoring more goals.
Saints came flying out of the traps in June, winning three of their first four games. That included a 1-0 win over Manchester City in which Ché Adams scored an incredible long range strike.
The form continued, and the 18 points accrued in June and July was the third-most in the league – behind only the two Manchester clubs. That momentum has been shifted into the 2020/21 campaign, with Southampton winning five of their first 10 games.
A 2020 table would have Saints placed sixth – that's over the course of 28 games, proving this upturn extends far beyond a temporary purple patch.

Американский фолк-ривайвл — общественное движение в США, начавшееся в 1940-х годах и достигшее своего расцвета в середине 1960-х годов. В этот период многочисленные исполнители, собиратели фолклора, организаторы мероприятий, менеджеры, учёные, журналисты, руководители рекорд-компаний и музыкальных магазинов объединили усилия для популяризации народной музыки, движимые комплексом коммерческих, политических и эстетических мотиваций. Фолк-ривайвл утратил центральное место в популярной музыке США к 1970 году. Его финальным крупным мероприятием стал Фолк-фестиваль в Ньюпорте 1969 года.

Корни американского фолк-ривавла лежат в музыке таких артистов как Вуди Гатри, Пит Сигер, Almanac Singers, The Weavers, Ледбелли и других, имевших ограниченную популярность в 1930—1940-х годах. Этот период иногда называют первой волной фолк-ривайвла или первым ривайвлом. Боб Дилан, Джоан Баэз, Джуди Коллинз, The Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary и другие музыканты стали значимыми фигурами второй волны или второго ривайвла в 1950—1960-е годы. Важной основой для ривайвлов стали «полевые» записи народной музыки, сделанные фолкористами Джоном Ломаксом и его сыном Аланом Ломаксом.

Американский фолк-ривайвл является комплексным и обширным явлением. Сегодня среди ученых отсутствует его унифицированное понимание. Продолжаются дискуссии относительного корректности самого термина «ривайвл» для описания соответствующего феномена; неясно было на самом деле это единое движение или несколько отдельных; каковы его точные временные границы; что именно понимать в его контексте под «народной музыкой»; каково значение фолк-ривайвла тогда и сегодня. В XX веке фолк-ривайвлы, аналогичные американскому, но с национальной спецификой происходили также в Великобритании и Канаде.

История
Своими корнями нью-йоркский фолк-ривайвл уходит в возродившийся интерес к сквэр-дансу и народным танцам в 1940-х, который помог таким музыкантам, как Pete Seeger, приобрести популярность.

Одной из самых ранних городских вокальных групп фолк-ривайвла является Almanac Singers, которая была сформирована специально в целях популяризации политических протестных песен, в состав которой в начале 1940-х входили Вуди Гатри, Пит Сигер и Ли Хэйс. В 1948 году Seeger и Hays, совместно с Ронни Гилберт и Fred Hellerman, сформировали группу The Weavers, которая выпустила ряд хитов, в числе которых «Kisses Sweeter than Wine», «Wimoweh», «The Wreck of the John B» и кавер-версия песни Lead Belly «Goodnight, Irene». Широкая популярность The Weavers подготовила почву для фолк-ривайвла 1950-х и начала 1960-х, а также устранила разрыв между народной, популярной музыкой и актуальной песней. Однако в результате конфликта с движением маккартизма, группа распалась в 1952 году.

Традиционный народный репертуар и звучание группы The Weavers оказали непосредственное влияние на группу The Kingston Trio, которая получила известность в 1958 году благодаря хиту «Tom Dooley», попавшему на первое место Billboard Hot 100. The Kingston Trio стали ориентиром для множества коллективов так называемого «университетского фолка» (), появившихся в период между 1958 и 1962 годами, в числе которых The Brothers Four, The Limeliters, Chad Mitchell Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, The Highwaymen. Все эти группы, как и The Kingston Trio, характеризуются плотной вокальной гармонией, умеренно комичным и профессионально аранжированным репертуаром народной музыки и актуальных песен, нацеленных на мейнстрим и популярную аудиторию. Многие будущие фолк-рок-исполнители, в том числе участники The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas и Buffalo Springfield, наряду с сольными певцами Бэрри Макгуайр и Скотт Маккензи, свою профессиональную музыкальную карьеру начинали в группах фолк-ривайвла.

Примерно в то же самое время, когда представители «университетского фолка» достигают национальной известности, вторая волна исполнителей, вдохновлённых гитарной музыкой фолк- и блюз-исполнителей, как, например, Вуди Гатри, Ледбелли, Брауни Макги и Джош Уайт, выдвигается на передний план. Многие из этих городских ривайвлистов были под влиянием записей традиционной американской музыки 1920-х и 1930-х, которые лейбл Folkways Records переиздаёт на влиятельных сборниках Anthology of American Folk Music. В то время, как фолк-ривайвл процветал во многих американских городах — особенно в Чикаго, Лос-Анджелесе и Денвере — Нью-Йорк, с его растущей сценой в кафе на Гринвич-Виллидж, был повсеместно признан как центр движения. Из этой плодородной среды появились такие исполнители народных протестных песен, как Боб Дилан, Том Пакстон, Фил Окс и Peter, Paul and Mary, многие из которых перешли на фолк-рок в течение 1960-х.

The 5 Greatest Indian Victories In ONE Championship
Jay Furness
India's reputation on the global stage is blowing up, with some of the nation's greatest athletes showcasing their skills with victories over top-shelf competition.
Previously, the country with the world's second-largest population (approximately 1.38 billion) has been underrepresented in ONE Championship. But now, the South Asian nation is making its presence felt in a major way.
Elite athletes from other combat sports like wrestling and wushu have transitioned to mixed martial arts, and one has even earned the first World Title shot for India in 2020.
Also, the ONE Super App has been made available in Hindi, which is further proof of the country's growing presence in the sport.
Indian fans are hungrier than ever to see their national heroes succeed in The Home Of Martial Arts, and these dynamic warriors are certainly living up to those high expectations.
Here are the five greatest victories from India's talented athletes in the world's largest martial arts organization.
Bhullar Takes Out "The Hammer"
In October 2019, Indian heavyweight superstar Arjan "Singh" Bhullar stepped onto the global stage for the first time and earned an impressive victory over Mauro "The Hammer" Cerilli at ONE: CENTURY.
What made the occasion even more remarkable was the fact that the Commonwealth Games Wrestling gold medalist dominated his hard-hitting Italian rival with his crisp boxing repertoire.
Cerilli swung heavy leather at Bhullar in the opening frame, but "Singh" stayed composed and picked him off with an arrow-like jab.
As the bout wore on, the 33-year-old dialed up his offensive attack and connected with a raft of punishing uppercuts, which hurt "The Hammer."
Bhullar continued to pick his opponent apart until the final bell to earn the unanimous decision win, and with it, the next shot at ONE Heavyweight World Champion Brandon "The Truth" Vera.
Phogat Blasts "Captain Marvel" In ONE Debut
The world eagerly awaited Ritu "The Indian Tigress" Phogat's mixed martial arts debut, and she delivered on the expectation with a crushing first-round TKO victory over "Captain Marvel" Nam Hee Kim at ONE: AGE OF DRAGONS in November 2019.
Phogat, the Commonwealth Wrestling Championships gold medalist, used a double-leg takedown to drag the South Korean to the canvas early.
The action briefly returned to the stand-up range when she backed out of her rival's guard, but it did not last there for long.
Once again, the 25-year-old wrestling superstar scored with a takedown and she moved right into side control. Kim did her best to stay safe on the ground, but "The Indian Tigress" was relentless with her pressure.
The end came when Phogat trapped her rival's left arm between her legs in a crucifix position, and then pounded away with punches and elbows to score an impressive first victory.

"Saint Lion" Dominates A Former World Title Challenger
Gurdarshan "Saint Lion" Mangat announced himself as a contender in the flyweight division when he defeated Toni "Dynamite" Tauru via third-round TKO at ONE: REIGN OF VALOR in March 2019.
The Canadian-Indian athlete used his dynamic striking to pepper "Dynamite" with hard kicks to the body and legs, and he also connected with damaging counter punches in the opening stanza.
Mangat upped the pace in round two and continued to wear his foe down, and then, in the third frame, he went all-in for the finish.
"Saint Lion" dropped the Finn with a right hand-left hook combination. Although "Dynamite" returned to his feet, the Canadian-Indian athlete backed him up, took him down, and softened him up with more punches and elbows.
Tauru turtled up to try to defend, but the 33-year-old rattled him again with a crunching left knee. Then, he sealed the deal with hammerfists to get his career in the world's largest martial arts organization off to a stunning start.
"The Cyclone" Overcomes The Hometown Hero
The crowd inside the Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia screamed for their local hero, Priscilla Hertati Lumban Gaol, but that did not faze Puja "The Cyclone" Tomar, who scored a hard-earned split decision victory at ONE: ETERNAL GLORY in January 2019.
"Thathie" had won five of her previous six bouts in The Home Of Martial Arts, but the Indian halted that momentum with a versatile display of striking and grappling.
Both athletes came from a wushu background, but each competitor employed different strategies, and it was "The Cyclone's" heavy counter-attacks that gave her success on the feet.
The 26-year-old Indian atomweight came close to finishing Lumban Gaol with heavy ground and pound at the tail-end of the first frame, and that was likely the biggest contributing factor in her favor as two judges gave her the nod after 15 closely-contested minutes.

The Indian strawweight, who is a national wushu champion, used his kicks to inflict damage on his opponent's lead leg. Rozten fired back, but Kaushik caught his rival's kick, scored with several right hands, and then dumped him to the mat.
From there, the Crossfit Fitness Academy representative took his time to work his ground and pound, and then he exploded for the finish when he saw the right opportunity.
The 27-year-old drew back a big right hand and then dropped it onto Rozten's jaw. A swift flurry of lefts and rights came shortly after, and he knocked the Indonesian out cold.

Marshall Field is considered to be one of the greatest retailers of all time. He virtually created the modern department store, and he played a large role in Chicago's transformation from a small town to a major city. Field was one of the great American self-made millionaires of the nineteenth century.
A shy and hard-working man, Field's success in business did not guarantee a happy personal life. His first marriage, to Nannie Scott, ended in 1896 with his wife's death in France, where she lived without Field for many years. Field's son, Marshall II, died almost ten years later in a tragic shooting accident. Field's last joy in life was his marriage to long-time friend Delia Caton just a few months before his own death. Sometimes portrayed as lonely and unloved, Field found his deepest happiness in his store.
"If Marshall Field had anything to sell, he would sell it, if a customer came in; if a customer did not come in, he was not above going out and finding one."
—Joseph Field, Marshall Field's brother
The Road to Chicago
Marshall Field was born on August 18, 1834, in Conway, Massachusetts. He was the third of six children. His parents, John and Fidelia, ran a farm just outside of Conway. When he wasn't working on the farm, Field took classes at a nearby school. He became expert at trading with the other boys for their pocketknives. At fifteen, Field began working as a clerk in a local store, after his father sold the family farm to Field's older brother Chandler. He realized he would never have a farm of his own and needed a new career.
At first Field did not seem cut out for retailing. His first employer told Mr. Field that his son would never be able to run a store. Field returned to farm work for several years before leaving Conway to work at a store in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He did better this time, easily memorizing the store's products and prices, and showing a flair for handling customers. After five years, Field's boss offered to make him a partner, but Field declined. He wanted to move west, and by the end of the year he had settled in Chicago, Illinois.
At the time, Chicago was a town of about eight thousand people, with rows of wooden buildings lining dirt roads that turned muddy in the rain. The town, however, was slowly becoming the most important city in the Midwest. Its location on Lake Michigan and the increasing number of railways leading to it made Chicago a center for trade. Field took a job with Cooley, Wadsworth and Company, the largest dry-goods store in the city. By 1860, Field was a junior partner in the company. Five years later, he and another partner at Cooley, Levi Leiter, went into business with one of their competitors, Potter Palmer.
His first year in Chicago, Marshall Field earned just $400, which was an average yearly salary for the time. He slept in the Cooley store where he worked to save money. After he joined forces with Palmer and Leiter to form his own company, Field was worth was more than $250,000.
The Field Way
With his new store, Field followed the practices he had developed at Cooley. He and his partners rarely sold items on credit and paid cash for what they sold. These policies helped the store survive difficult times when business slowed. Field also looked for the best products available and dealt honestly with his customers.
In 1867, Palmer sold his share of the store. Field then brought his brothers Joseph and Henry into the business, which was renamed Field, Leiter and Company. The next year, the company opened a new store in a beautiful downtown building. An impressed reporter for the Chicago Tribune wrote that the store "looked palatial, fairy-like, and for all the world as if it had been brought into existence by some enchanter." The grand building, however, was badly damaged in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Field temporarily set up business in a large barn, then opened a new store in 1872. Business grew again, as Field offered a wide range of goods, many of them imported from Europe. Later, the company set up its own factories to make many of the items sold in the store. Field's signature appeared on the label of many of the clothes, a sign to shoppers they had bought a quality product.
By the end of the decade, Field's partnership with Leiter grew tense. Field bought his share of the business in 1881, and the company was renamed Marshall Field & Company. Going into the 1890s, Field dominated the department store business in Chicago. He introduced several policies copied by stores around the nation, such as free delivery and an easy return policy. Field helped popularize the idea that "the customer is always right."
The company's growth came as Chicago was turning into an industrial center, and more people had money to buy the fine products Marshall Field's offered. Field especially catered to women, creating a pleasing shopping environment. The store was also a tourist attraction for people who had never seen a department store with such splendor.
In 1905, Marshall Field was the largest individual taxpayer in the United States.
Businessman and Philanthropist
As his wealth increased, Field became an important figure in Chicago. He was friendly with the city's other business leaders, including George Pullman (1831-1897), a maker of railroad cars. When Pullman's workers went on strike in 1894, Field suggested the Illinois National Guard be called in to break up the strike. Chicago labor leaders began calling the Guardsmen "Marshall Field's Boys." With his own workers, Field set high standards. His store clerks received less than the standard wage, but they were also rewarded with more responsibility. One new clerk, John Shedd, impressed Field with his intelligence and hard work, so Field promoted him. Shedd became president of the company after Field's death.
Robert Ulrich: Leader of a Retail Giant
"Speed is life" is the motto of Target Corporation chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Robert J. Ulrich. "Speed has to be our way of life," Ulrich said at Target's 1994 annual corporate meeting, as reported in Discount Store News. "Companies have to run faster just to stay in place. And we have no intention of standing still." Ulrich was true to his word, keeping Target Corporation growing by adding new stores and orchestrating the switch that put the Marshall Field name on the former Dayton's and Hudson's stores.
Born in 1944, Ulrich has spent his entire career at Dayton Hudson/Target. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he started at Dayton's as a management trainee. As he worked his way up through the company, he held a variety of positions, including sales manager, buyer, and group manager. In 1981, Ulrich was made president and CEO of Diamond's, then one of Dayton Hudson's smaller chains. Three years later, after the Dayton's and Hudson's stores were combined into one department-store company, he was named president of the new division.
In 1986, Ulrich took over as president of the Target stores, just as DH was planning to expand its discount division. The next year he was named chairman of Target. In 1994, Ulrich stepped up to chairman and CEO of Dayton Hudson, although he remained committed to Target and promoted several former associates there to key positions in the parent company. In 2000, when Target's revenue represented 80 percent of the company's sales, Ulrich announced DH's name change to Target Corporation. He told Knight-Ridder/Tribune Business News, "Target Corporation is a more appropriate name for the company and is also a more widely recognized brand name." Ulrich plans to keep Target growing, especially in the Northeast.
For the first part of his career, Field was not particularly active with charities, but starting in the 1890s he became more generous. He donated the land for the University of Chicago and also gave money to the school. In 1893, he gave $1 million for a museum built for the Columbian Exhibition, a world's fair held in Chicago to honor the four-hundredth anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage to America. Today, the Field Museum of Natural History is one of the finest museums in the United States.
By the time Field died in 1906, his fortune was worth about $150 million. Most of this was real estate Field owned in Chicago. In his will, he left money for the Field Museum and several local charities. Most of his money went into a trust for his grandsons, Henry and Marshall III. (The younger Marshall Field later used some of his wealth to enter the newspaper publishing industry.) Field had succeeded in business by following several simple rules. In 1896, he wrote some of them down in a letter, quoted in John Tebbel's book, The Marshall Fields. "Merchants who keep their business well in hand," Field wrote, "sell for cash … keep good habits and give strict attention to business very rarely fail."

London has already benefited greatly from the surge of Continental European buyers seeking a safe haven for their funds and assets from volatile markets.
London real estate was the first asset class to feel the effect of substantial inflows. According to a report by research firm Fathom, 61% of prime central London property spend between 2007 and 2011 was from abroad.
But the impact of those fund inflows is growing. Constantine, a fine art storage and transporter firm, has announced business activity is up by 50% in the year from August 2011 to August 2012 as foreign investors in London also make investments in silver, art, wine and gold.
Overall, its business is growing exponentially as a result of increased sales at the elite end of the housing market. Many European, Russian and Asian investors are moving their assets to safe havens, and London is a key destination. It has seen 30% growth in art storage in the last year, 10% of which has come from Greece.
"Art investments are on the move and major collectors are emerging, acquiring art as part of their investment portfolios," notes Tim Sutton, managing director of Constantine. "The UK is seen as a safe haven, being outside the Eurozone, and art is beginning to flow in."
"The current success of London's art market is proving itself, not only with an increase in high net worth individuals investing in the UK capital but also with high levels of activity in the auction houses, and record-breaking visitor numbers to exhibitions (such as the Royal Academy's David Hockney show). Art is proving to be a port in the investment storm for many of the world's wealthy."
Constantine, a family-owned firm, is one of only 850 British Royal Warrant holders in the world. It forms part of a new "arts business hub" that enables the safe travel of many of these works of art into the UK.
The company says confidence in the safe handling and storage of such high value artifacts is behind the growth of many of the major London exhibitions at galleries such as Tate Britain and White Cube, now Europe's largest gallery space.


The 920 surviving recordings of Alistair Cooke's Letter from America, broadcast between 1946 and 2004, go online this week in audio and text. Here, in the first of five slideshows featuring highlights from the collection, Cooke captures the public mood at the time of the assassination of President John F Kennedy, and of Bobby Kennedy five years later. Below, Alexander Chancellor explains how Cooke succeeded in bringing two countries closer together.
Alistair Cooke's first Letter from America - initially called American Letter - was broadcast in March1946. It was to be the first of 2,869 such broadcasts, spanning 58 years, making it by far the longest-running talk programme of any radio station in the world.
He had written to the BBC a month before, proposing "a weekly personal letter to a Briton by a fireside about American life and people and places in the American news".
"The stress will tend always to be on the springs of American life, whose bubbles are the headlines, rather than the bright headlines themselves," as he put it.
His first letter was true to this promise, as were all the others until the last, broadcast in 2004, only a month before his death at the age of 95. It was an account of a journey back from Southampton to New York aboard the liner Queen Mary, in the company of a couple of thousand "GI wives" - British girls who had married American soldiers while they were camped in Britain during the war.
There were moving descriptions of their tears as they departed from Britain and the warmth of their welcome in New York.
The letter then changed gear to talk about postwar shortages of goods in the United States, created not by the simple lack of them, as in Britain, but by hoarding and racketeering.
He never wanted the British to think that everything was much better in his adopted country. He wanted instead to bring the two countries closer together in understanding and affection.
It may sound strange now, but there was enormous ignorance in Britain at that time of American history and culture.
No serving British prime minister until Winston Churchill had ever visited the United States, and the American way of life was widely suspected in Britain of being crass and alien. Alistair Cooke made it his task to rectify this.
It would be no exaggeration to say that Cooke transformed the image of America for the ordinary, middle-class Briton.
From the beginning until the end of his series of talks he conveyed an inner certainty that America was the most interesting country on earth, and many Britons who had never thought so before were persuaded to agree with him. Cooke managed to dispel the widespread fear and distrust of America that was felt in Britain after World War II.
The cosy way he said "Good morning...", with a seductive upward lilt on the last syllable, was enough to reassure middle-class British people as they rubbed their eyes at 08:45 on a Sunday morning. They couldn't feel frightened of America after that.
Cooke did not peddle opinions. An instinctive liberal - he was for 25 years also the much-admired chief US correspondent of the Guardian newspaper - he may not have shown much sympathy towards the Reagan presidency, but his main purpose was to be interesting, enlightening and entertaining.
He extolled all the things he loved about America - its show business, its popular music, and its sports, as well as its politics and its higher culture - and he did so in talks carefully pre-written to sound as natural, discursive and conversational as possible, and delivered in comforting, mellifluous tones.
If his "letters" seemed to lack construction, this was deliberate. He liked to digress, as people do naturally in conversation, and he liked to surprise by initially concealing what the main theme of his talk was going to be.
For example, his letter following the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York began by casually implying that he was going to write about a tropical storm heading towards the city from the Caribbean.
But then came "the most startling, awful morning I can remember. Not because this was the most awful disaster ever, but because, for the first time in American experience, a first act of war aroused, and television pulverised, our senses in a way we had never known".
And as so often, he tried to bring home this experience to the British by comparing it to one of their own: "It's the same feeling of bewilderment and secret fear - what next? - that Londoners felt after the first night of the Blitz in September 1940."
One reason for the appeal of Cooke's broadcasts over here was the way he treated the United States and Britain with equal respect. We British were never made to feel that he was addressing us as an inferior nation.
Perhaps because of the unfortunate timing of his adoption of American citizenship - in 1941, Britain's darkest hour - he was troubled for many years by a problem of national identity. He did once say that he felt "totally at home in both countries", but this could equally well have meant that he didn't feel quite at home in either.
According to Leonard Miall, the BBC's first Washington correspondent after the war, he was chosen by American television to host a British drama series, Masterpiece Theater, "because he was regarded here as the quintessential Englishman. Yet for decades he had been broadcasting his Letter from America to a British radio audience which regarded him as a particularly sympathetic kind of American."
Cooke himself recognised the problem when he said: "Here [in America] they think I'm an old English gent, and in England they think I'm an enlightened American."
But he must have been uncomfortable in his "English gent" role, much as he had sought to cultivate it, for at Cambridge, when asked to list his pet abominations, he included among them "the English gentleman".
He also once said that he had gone to America to escape "the seediness and snobbery of English life". But no-one has ever done more to bring our two nations closer together.

Take a moment to think about your family. If you had to try, what is the economic value of your family in relation to your community? While we think of the quantifiable — money spent, money earned — what about the social value of their presence and involvement? How do we quantify cohesion in communities, the mere act of wanting to be there – of choosing to participate, live, and invest in a sense of "place"?
This week I had the good fortune to participate in two catalytic events in the formation and ongoing crafting of South Dakota economic and community development. The first, a 2-day event titled "RuralX" in Aberdeen – led by Dakota Resources, a rural community development agency working in South Dakota. The second, a court date at one of our county capitals witnessing the second-to-last step of a two-year battle over corporate agribusiness and a rural town. The first, a development entity with the full support of dozens of state agencies. The second, a private business guided by state policy and economic mandate, driving towards a common goal of prosperity for all – except finding conflict in the process.
Both "wave the banner" for economic development in the state, driving forward a "development service" to the state and region – but both inevitably claw each other back from reaching that elusive mountaintop. From sitting in a courtroom somberly watching a wounded and tired community concerned for the future, to being extolled by community development professionals to pursue a vision of community cohesion and immutability – two visions collided.
Now, my academic training is in the creative economy and the cultural sector. Being a fairly uncommon line of training, I'm always intrigued by spaces where I see the arts and culture meeting people, places where creativity and creatives blur with "everyday life" to the point where one can't tell anymore where the lines were drawn.
RuralX represented this "fusion" in spades. From Emily Pilloton, a designer who presented on how architecture and design inspired low-income youth in North Carolina, to Becky McCray and Deb Brown from "Saveyour.town" sharing ideas around community innovation and downtown revitalization, to a dynamic Open X discussion format on the second day (the attendees created the breakout sessions), the "creative" mindset flowed through the 2-day event.
Because what are rural communities but the places that certain decisions or natural resource allocations passed over? Successful cities that thrive today often held little tactical advantage over several similar towns in the early 1900's, but boomed past other communities with the strategic rail decisions made by outside entities. Towns along Highway 81 could've had a 4-lane highway running through them, guiding tourists and commuters along a different path, but state policy decisions steered development otherwise. I think it fair to say that the rise and fall of certain communities is not divine providence, but rather the collection of decisions and resources available to a given population.
The situation at RuralX was a stark change from the courtroom I had participated-in earlier in the week in a rural community on the other side of South Dakota. There, a community was seeing a very different conversation around "economic development" coming to its climax and their future determined before their eyes.
Unfortunately, we're a couple of years off virtual reality so I can't transport you there, but let's picture this as your town, and if you live in an urban center, your neighborhood.
Over the past two years, the residents of your town have been engaged in a significant discussion with an agribusiness corporation wanting to develop in close proximity to your town. This agribusiness corporation is "locally-based" in a neighboring town, but was founded in a neighboring state and does a very large majority of its business out-of-state. A proposal has been brought forward by the company for a multi-million chicken, $50+ million proposed plant located outside of your town, and a couple stone's throw from your local golf course.
The conversation has been extremely contentious, largely driven by the perceived negative byproducts of such a facility, such as insects, smell, and road-use concerns. This has infuriated neighbors with businesses on both sides of the issue and corroded your social circles. The operation and the zoning board decisions have been challenged in-court on your neighbor's dime, and numerous petitions have been signed and submitted by local residents against the development.
For one South Dakota community, this very scenario came to a head mere hours before the kickoff of the Dakota Resources RuralX event, with a 2.5 million-chicken, $100 million facility being approved unanimously for permit by the zoning board, 2.5 miles outside of a town. Following a process stretching nearly two years beginning in January of 2015, multiple families have opted to move rather than raise their families in the environment, and hundreds have publicly spoken out against the development in emotionally-trying testimony before their community at public court appearances.
Not only did the permit application pass over the objections of neighbors, but the board decision allowed the operation to bypass the required waivers from nearby property owners. This action was allowable since the business had proven "new technology would lessen the impact on them", allowing the group to bypass state-established setback standards. This new technology was untested by the producer prior to the decision.
While the merits of corporate agriculture and economic development can be litigated by others, the social context of these messages should invite discussion. A healthy rural environment in South Dakota thrives on the vitality of its agricultural community. At the same time, the agricultural population relies on thriving and ambitious communities to provide social cohesion and economic focus.
However, in situations like these, the perception of indifference can be as corrosive as the reality. Can we truly expect such an alienating experience for the community not to discourage and hamper community member's enthusiasm to engage? Who would open a pop-up restaurant on Main Street corner knowing that they could have their event canceled for smell and flies? Who would organize monthly street events under such auspices? Why put the time into renovating a main street historic building when the smell and flies drives people away and erodes downtown commerce? And, even if those negative outcomes do not come to fruition, has the mere thought and fear of the thing, and the pain of the situation, discouraged that effort?
Small-town development is lonely, hard-driving work for the perseverant. Entrepreneurism, while seemingly an emerging "trendy" aspiration, is one of the most emotionally-draining and challenging endeavors I have witnessed. If indeed downtown revitalization can be catalyzed by the ideas Saveyour.town and the speakers at RuralX presented, how do we rationalize this as community builders and leaders? If in fact one has compromised the community, the passion of its residents, the drive to think creatively, to take risks, to believe in the town's identity, what is the cost?
This has, of course, been a controversial issue for the past several years, and corporate agriculture has had its opponents and supporters. Every situation is unique. But when a community perceives a threat, it becomes the responsibility of all to take notice. We can't quantify "passion". We can't quantify a community's sense of "pride" and "ownership". One person or one person's energy is tough to put a dollar tag on. But for a rural town dancing along the knife's edge of rural viability that many rural towns skirt, it is a dangerous game.
You cannot quantify discouragement. You can't quantify depression. You can't quantify two years of hardship and stress. You can't quantify tipping that scale in a rural community towards despair.
One thing is clear. While we feign unity, the toughest discussions amongst our community and economic development professionals are still yet to be had.
And so, 200 miles to the north, a community and economic development entity stands in front of a crowd and steadfastly encourages community leaders to innovate, that their effort is worth the trouble, to bring in voices from the fringes of their community.


WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM? Whatever happened to X10?
WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM? Whatever happened to X10? Thanks for the links Harald. They are definitely applicable to M2M!
The TV box we got from Google helps with WIFI and Ethernet. The camera pictures in the video are out of a webcam in my city.
The video also shows the dimming of light and changing the colour. It is an emulation. The next video will show it live. The further step is a web server with control of LEDs on PCB connected by WIFI to the Google TV box. The final step is to offer the LED PCBs with WIFI module and controller in a web shop to everybody.
I will replace my old furniture to new and will order it without lamps or LEDs.
These LEDs in a row are on a PCB with 25 cm length. 25 cm are the standard length for illumination in our local shops for furniture. Everybody can have the some fun at home like me.
The final step in home automation is the creating of rapid prototyping hardware. Some piece of hardware that can be easily copied or redesigned. My home is fully covered by WIFI. I already bought a small WIFI powered webcam on Monday. This camera offers e-mail, FTP and DynDNS. It could be a part of the home automation project later on. Some birds build a nest directly next the door to our veranda. The bad news is that the last little bird died Tuesday night. Anyhow, European blackbirds are breeding up to four times a year. Hopefully they will come back. If they come back I will offer a "blackbird cinema" based on Google TV box to everybody.
Other topic is the drainage pump at our home. Shall I monitor it with by WIFI or by some meshed ISM network on 868 MHz? I am not sure. On WIFI I am ready fast. On 868 MHz I can save power. Anyhow, I will keep you posted.
X10 is not that popular in Germany. Anyhow, the TV Box has USB and Ethernet as well.
Do not use the origin Arduino because the Chipkit TDGL002 already offers USB host with drivers for Android accessories. The Chipkit TDGL002 is estimated with USD 30. If you order the TDGL003 then you'll never run out of pins and interfaces.
Do you have X10 running at home?


The river level as of this morning is 1175.93 feet above sea level, which is up roughly half a foot since yesterday.
The projected peak is 1182.60 feet above sea level. It is anticipated that the river will peak on approximately July 11th and we are expecting this to be a short duration with the peak lasting only a couple of days before it begins to recede. This is dependent on any rainfall.
The dike has been filled to block the ditch off at 18th Street and Kirkcaldy Drive and will be filled in to block Conservation Drive.
Crews will be working at closing Grand Valley Road over the next 2 days.
All of the problematic manholes have been blocked which numbers approximately 20.
23 pumps have arrived in Brandon and will be set up in required areas by the weekend.
We will be opening the fence behind the Corral Centre on Cater Drive to allow traffic to travel north if the need arises. This roadway will be barricaded until needed.
The Police and Fire have made arrangements for secondary locations north of the river.
Residents are reminded to obey the barricades and stay out of parks as well as off the river.
Our understanding that PTH 110 has been re-opened.
The City is currently mobilizing equipment to open Victoria Avenue East.
Parks crews are continuing with tree clean-up following the weekend storm.
There is no intention to evacuate people at this time, however a general overview of an evacuation plan will be provided through door to door drops to the residents and businesses in the potentially affected areas north and south of the river. We foresee this happening over the next few days.
If residents require information or have any questions, they can call the Enquiry Centre at 729-2186 between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm.
As well, the Media Centre phone number is 729-2287 and it is also open during those hours.
If the need arises these hours will be extended.

Q: Campaigns per user algorithm I've got 2 tables named
marketing_rules which has a row named conditions (JSON Array contatining conditions to validate)
for example: array('app_version' => '1.0')
mobile_users which containing all the users. it has also the application version that the user use.
my algorithm is working as follows:

*

*User logs into the application

*Looping all of the Marketing rules that has row active=1

*Build query from JSON array (from conditions row in marketing_rules) - for example: SELECT * FROM mobile_users WHERE user=USER_ID_LOGGED_IN AND app_version='1.0'

*If user using this conditions. Outputting the message row from marketing_rules table to the user.

for some reason my algorithm is getting heavy for the server to handle for multiple users. since it creating alot of DB connections.
What would be the best solution to make this kind of algorithm work more efficient?
I thought about looping ALL of the users daily, and creating them XML's so every time the application needs the message data, it could use it from the XML, instead of creating a query and pulling the message from Database.
But I believe there must be a better solution to my problem.

UPDATE: Covanta loses Minneapolis WTE contract to Great River Energy
flickr user Samuel Mann
Cole Rosengren @ColeRosengren
UPDATE: The Hennepin County Board unanimously voted on Oct. 4 to approve an agreement with Great River Energy over Covanta for operation of the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center in Minneapolis.
"We have the chance to enter into an agreement that is better financially, that has better controls and potentially promises a better relationship than we've had with Covanta," County Board Chairwoman Jan Callison said, as reported by the Star Tribune.
On the same day, U.S. District Judge David Doty also denied Covanta's request for a temporary restraining order against the county. Pending any changes, this means that Covanta will cease operations at the facility in 2018.
Covanta has filed a lawsuit accusing Hennepin County, MN of sabotaging negotiations for a new contract at a Minneapolis waste-to-energy facility, as reported by the Star Tribune.
The county recently accepted a proposed agreement from Great River Energy to run the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC), which Covanta has operated for 27 years. Covanta can still match this offer, but the company argues that the county is asking for unfavorable terms.
The contract in question is for $25.5 million and would run from March 2018 until June 2019.
Having managed the HERC since it opened in 1989, Covanta has expressed interest in extending the arrangement for years. Yet multiple rounds of negotiations between the county and Covanta appear to have led to dissatisfaction on both sides. According to Covanta's court filing, the county is asking for new terms which limit revenues and places more liabilities and responsibilities on the company.
Prior to approval of the new contract last month, Covanta criticized Great River's ability to run the facility, but left the door open to continuing its "successful partnership" with Hennepin County. Further details on the turning point which led to the lawsuit are unclear. A spokesperson for Covanta told the Star Tribune that the lawsuit spoke for itself and the county said the matter is under review.
Contention surrounding contract negotiations is common across the entire industry, many times leading to disrupted services and expensive fines. The lawsuit in this case is asking for damages in excess of $75,000. Covanta has until Sep. 22 to match the terms of this deal and continue operating the HERC.

A new beginning from Earth's greatest team, Ant-Man and the Wasp reunite, and Bendis sets up the future of Superman on this edition of New Comic Wednesday.
After some down time, it's time to get back into looking into the latest new comics. I have three comics for New Comic Wednesday that I want to dig in to with you guys. So, if you are a comic fan, strap in and let's go.
It's been almost two years since the Astonishing Ant-Man ended and Scott Lang is finally back in the pages of his own book and Nadia Pym is coming with him. Scott has become one of my favorite characters in comics and Nadia has become a great character in her own right. It's very shocking to me that they have yet to meet and am so excited to see how their personalities clash.Nadia is very by the book and serious while Scott tends to improvise a lot and loves to joke around and have fun.
If Nick Spencer couldn't come back to write Scott then I'm glad Marvel got Mark Waid for this title. Waid excels at writing these types of characters and as the creator of Nadia, Waid is the natural choice for this book. I mainly know Garron from his work on the Inhumans and X-Men so I'm excited to see what he can do in the Quantum Realm. If you are looking for an intro into the world of Ant-Man and the Wasp in anticipation for the movie than this is the perfect jumping on point.
You can purchase a physical copy of this comic from MyComicShop.com if you do we will benefit from this purchase. As the comic is only $3.99, we aren't exactly getting rich off of it, but every little bit helps this site out. You can also purchase a digital copy of this from ComiXology.
These past two years have been rough on the Justice League. After disappointing arc and disappointing arc, the Justice League have finally gotten some help in the form of comic legends Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung. These two have been a major part of so many famous stories over the years whether it be Snyder's historic run on Batman or Cheung's Illuminati comic.
Snyder has shown he knows and understands Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman throughout his career but the addition that makes me most excited is Martian Manhunter is finally back where he belongs. In the recent, No Justice story arc Snyder showed he gets Martian Manhunter and after his long comic hiatus, I couldn't be more excited! He is also bringing both John Stewart and Hawkgirl to the team and I'm very excited to see what roles they fill.
Lastly, after years of middling villains, the readers have no interest in Snyder is bringing the Legion of Doom back to the comic world. Snyder showed on both Superman Unchained and No Justice that he can write Lex Luthor and his work on Joker is legendary but what I'm most excited about is to see how he writes Black Manta, Grodd, and my third favorite character of all time Thaal Sinestro. If you pick up any book this week it has to be this one, it's going to be a wild ride.
When it was first announced that famed Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis was coming to DC and taking over the Superman titles I was upset. Peter Tomasi, Patrick Gleeson, and Dan Jurgens have all done incredible work with the Superman family and I wanted more from their runs. I gave Man of Steel #1 a chance because I love most of Bendis's Marvel work and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed his rendition of Superman but my big takeaway from issue one was how Bendis nailed the Clark Kent persona. Clark was perfect and gave the perfect amount of hope that I expect from a Superman title. Art for this issue is being handled by Evan Shaner and he is quickly becoming the go-to artist for a classic feel. This arc is the set up for the next year of Superman stories so pick it up now!
Thanks for reading and check back next week for my list of the comics that you need to be picking up!

Minor League Coverage
Milwaukee Brewers Prospects to Know for 2018: Hitters
Taking a look at the position players who could make an impact in Milwaukee this season.
Share All sharing options for: Milwaukee Brewers Prospects to Know for 2018: Hitters
The regular season kicks off tomorrow for the Milwaukee Brewers and the rest of Major League Baseball. Milwaukee's roster looks pretty stacked as they attempt to break their six-year playoff drought in 2018, but it's only a matter of time until someone gets injured and the club is forced to dip into their minor league reserves for reinforcements. With that said, let's take a look at the prospects and rookie-eligible players that the casual fan should be aware of, those who could impact the big league team this season. This series will be split into two parts: hitters and pitchers. For this post, we'll take a look at the position players:
OF Brett Phillips
MLB Pipeline Rank: 6
2018 age: 24
Despite spending some time in the big leagues last year, Phillips still qualifies as a prospect. Along with Keon Broxton, Phillips will serve as a first-line reinforcement should Milwaukee have an injury in their outfield. The left-handed hitter is a high-energy player with plus power and perhaps the best throwing arm in baseball, but also has a tendency to swing-and-miss.
IF Mauricio Dubon
MLB Pipeline Rank: 11
Last year was Dubon's first full season in the organization, and he hit a solid .274/.330/.382 with 8 homers and 38 steals between AA and AAA. The speedy Dubon has a plus hit tool and doesn't strike out often, and is also a capable defender at both second base and shortstop with some experience at third base, as well. He's a stolen base threat, but he doesn't hit for much power or draw enough walks to be an on-base weapon.
1B/3B Jake Gatewood
Gatewood took a major step forward developmentally last season, getting all the way to AA while batting .264/.333/.441 with 15 home runs and 10 stolen bases between Biloxi and Class-A Advanced Carolina. Contact lenses have helped him to see the ball better, allowing for more contact and an increase in walks. Gatewood has plus power, but he does still strike out a ton. He spent last season manning first and third base, and has worked some in the corner outfield this spring to increase his utility.
OF Troy Stokes, Jr.
Stokes was a 20/20 man between Carolina and Biloxi last season, clubbing an even 20 dingers and swiping 30 bags while batting .251/.341/.447 between the two levels. The undersized right-hander has surprising power and is an above-average runner who knows how to use his speed both as a defender and a base runner. He's capable of playing all three outfield spots, though a below-average arm means that he's best suited for left field.
C Jacob Nottingham
Nottingham has taken several steps forward as a receiver since coming to Milwaukee prior to the start of the 2016 season, and scouts now feel that he should be able to make the big leagues as a catcher. His bat has fallen off a bit, though, and he hit only .209/.326/.369 in AA Biloxi last season. He has plus raw power if he can get to it, but he does strike out a fair amount.
C Tyler Heineman
The minor league veteran was acquired from Houston in a cash deal last spring and had a nice year in AAA, batting .281/.342/.407 with two home runs in 65 games. He's a switch-hitter who is also solid on defense and threw out 43% of attempted base stealers last season.
UTIL Nate Orf
Since signing as a non-drafted free agent back in 2013, Orf has steadily climbed the minor league ladder and is now on the cusp of the MLB. He batted a stellar .320/397/.507 with 9 home runs in AAA last season, earning a non-roster invite to MLB camp this spring (where he also impressed with an .858 OPS). A jack-of-all-trades who has experience everywhere across the diamond, Orf has strong bat-to-ball skills and is the versatile type of player that Milwaukee loves.
OF Kyle Wren
Wren has spent time with Milwaukee's AAA affiliate in each of the last three seasons and hit well last year, posting a .286/.364/.401 slash with five homers and 26 steals. He doesn't have much power to speak of, but is a patient hitter who is a stolen base threat. He can man all three spots in the outfield, but is best served in left field.
OF Clint Coulter
The former first-round pick has fallen off prospect lists but had a solid showing in AA last season, batting .234/.318/.403 with 14 home runs. He'll still show plus power and he has a strong throwing arm in right, but the hit tool just hasn't fully developed to this point. Coulter seems likely to spend some time in AAA this season, but will be eligible for minor league free agency after the season.
INF Shane Optiz
The Brewers signed Opitz to a minor league pact this winter to serve as upper-level infield depth for their system. The former Blue Jays farmhand batted .252/.306/.333 in AAA last season, and offers little in the way of power of base stealing ability. He is versatile, though, as a primary shortstop who has the ability to play all over the infield.
