Dynasty League Positional Rankings: Top 50 Shortstops

The Primer:
Because dynasty league rankings are relatively league-dependent, I set up parameters for ranking the players below (and the ones who will follow at other positions). The list here presupposes a 16-team standard dynasty format, where there are no contracts/salaries, players can be kept forever and owners have minor league farm systems in which to hoard prospects. So feel free to adjust this as necessary for your individual league, whether it's moving non-elite prospects without 2014 ETAs down if you don't have separate farm teams or moving lower-risk, lower-reward players up in deeper mixed or only formats.
Shortstop is similar in some ways to its middle infield brethren, but it differentiates itself in one very important manner. At the major league level, shortstop is the weakest non-catcher position, but underneath the surface is a burgeoning group of studs just waiting to explode onto the scene. And it's easy to tell that when skimming the list because four of the top ten players on here have their prospect eligibility. This is part of the reason why more middling options are pushed down on this list—with the likely influx of high-impact new talent, those players are just going to be less and less valuable. It's an exciting time for the position, and things are going to start looking up in 2014.
And now, your top 50 shortstops in dynasty formats:
1) Hanley Ramirez, Los Angeles Dodgers
2) Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies
Tulo usually gets the nod as the player who is awesome enough when he plays to make up for the weeks when he doesn't suit up. However, Hanley went full Tulo (and then some) in 2013—finishing as a top-five shortstop despite having only 304 at-bats. If that wasn't enough to convince you he's the best shortstop going today, you weren't going to be convinced anyway. Tulowitzki continues to be great, and certainly playing in Coors doesn't hurt, but he's stolen three bases in the past two years, and that hinders his value slightly. Both are studs.
3) Ian Desmond, Washington Nationals
4) Xander Bogaerts, Boston Red Sox
I had a really hard time with this grouping. Desmond is terribly underrated right now, but Bogaerts has the potential to be the class of the position from a fantasy standpoint for the next decade or so. In the end, the current production won out—though Bogaerts will start 2014 in the majors. Don't be surprised if he's a top-three shortstop as soon as 2015.
5) Javier Baez, Chicago Cubs
6) Jean Segura, Milwaukee Brewers
Another tough call here, but don't let this ranking fool you—my belief in Segura is still very strong. He did have a tough second half of 2013, but I like him to settle in as a 10-homer, 30-plus-steal shortstop who can hit for a good average (about .280). On the other hand, Baez could be the no. 1 pick in fantasy leagues one day. The insane upside (along with close enough proximity to the majors—he has success at Double-A) pushes him into the top-five.
7) Carlos Correa, Houston Astros
8) Elvis Andrus, Texas Rangers
9) Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs
10) Addison Russell, Oakland Athletics
11) Jose Reyes, Toronto Blue Jays
This is the last bunch of the higher-end shortstops, both present and future. Correa and Russell both carry great potential for batting average and power (with some contribution in steals as well, while they are spry). You know what you're getting with Andrus and Reyes, as long as you don't expect Reyes to steal 50 bases again. He's more of a 20-30 steal guy now. Then there's Starlin Castro: I could put him anywhere on this list and I'd find some people to agree with me. However, I still believe in his bat despite the brutal 2013 season that saw so many jump off the tire fire he once called a bandwagon. And for all the ups and downs he's had at the major league level, he's still only 23 years old.
12) Everth Cabrera, San Diego Padres
13) Brad Miller, Seattle Mariners
14) J.J. Hardy, Baltimore Orioles
15) Andrelton Simmons, Atlanta Braves
These guys can all help you in different ways. Cabrera has the speed. Miller has across-the-board value. Hardy has the power. And Simmons surprisingly has the power as well, though he's a better bet to help you in batting average going forward (he's unlikely to have an average that low again with a contact rate of about 90 percent). These four players aren't going to be the studs that carry you to a championship, but they'll be a big help.
16) Chris Owings, Arizona Diamondbacks
17) Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians
18) Jimmy Rollins, Philadelphia Phillies
19) Jhonny Peralta, St Louis Cardinals
20) Jed Lowrie, Oakland Athletics
This next group demonstrates two big things: 1) I think Owings takes and runs with the Diamondbacks' shortstop gig, and 2) as much as I'd love to, I don't believe in Jed Lowrie's health. There's no doubt that he was great in 2013, but banking on another 600-plus plate appearance season when he took only 1,167 trips to the plate in his four prior seasons combined (both in the majors and minors), is something that feels particularly out of reach.
21) Tim Anderson, Chicago White Sox
My latest fantasy man crush, Anderson has all the tools you want in a prospect. Unfortunately, he also comes with a big risk factor, which is why he's barely outside the top 20 instead of cracking the top 15. This is aggressive, but Anderson's potential makes it worth the risk.
22) Alen Hanson, Pittsburgh Pirates
23) Asdrubal Cabrera, Cleveland Indians
24) Jonathan Villar, Houston Astros
25) Alexei Ramirez, Chicago White Sox
26) Alcides Escobar, Kansas City Royals
27) Erick Aybar, Los Angeles Angels
28) Stephen Drew, Free Agent
29) J.P. Crawford, Philadelphia Phillies
30) Raul Adalberto Mondesi, Kansas City Royals
These nine players are a healthy combination of major leaguers whom you're likely looking to improve upon long term and some of the players whom you may look at as long-term solutions for 2016 and beyond. Hanson has defensive questions, but his bat still projects to be above average for fantasy purposes. Crawford and Mondesi are better known for their defensive abilities at this point, but the bats carry a good deal of upside. As you can tell, I'm not a huge believer in Cabrera or Ramirez being much more than middling options at the position. I don't think we'll see Alexei steal 30 bases or Asdrubal hit 20 bombs again.
31) Jordy Mercer, Pittsburgh Pirates
32) Zack Cozart, Cincinnati Reds
33) Rosell Herrera, Colorado Rockies
34) Derek Jeter, New York Yankees
35) Luis Sardinas, Texas Rangers
36) Yunel Escobar, Tampa Bay Rays
37) Marcus Semien, Chicago White Sox
You could do worse than this tier, I guess. Mercer could be good with a full-time job if he builds off his 2013 campaign—though he's probably still not looking at a ton of playing time in Pittsburgh. Semien might get the playing time in Chicago, but he also may just not do anything with it. Herrera is a guy who some may have thought to be higher on this list given his 2013, but he repeated the level and left-handed hitters have a better time in Asheville than Fiona Gallagher at an orgy.
38) Hak-Ju Lee, Tampa Bay Rays
39) Dorssys Paulino, Cleveland Indians
40) Trevor Story, Colorado Rockies
41) Dustin Peterson, San Diego Padres
42) Didi Gregorius, Arizona Diamondbacks
43) Jace Peterson, San Diego Padres
44) Gleyber Torres, Chicago Cubs
45) Roman Quinn, Philadelphia Phillies
46) Brandon Crawford, San Francisco Giants
47) Eduardo Nunez, New York Yankees
48) Jose Peraza, Atlanta Braves
49) Dee Gordon, Los Angeles Dodgers
50) Orlando Arcia, Milwaukee Brewers
The bottom of this list is not a pretty sight. If you're looking for some sleepers for your league, I still believe in the bat of Dorssys Paulino; unfortunately, his glove (or lack thereof), may end up taking him somewhere else on the diamond). You could also do worse than taking chances on Gleyber Torres or Jose Peraza; then again, when the player worse than those guys is Dee Gordon, everything is relative.

No Corey Seager? Despite adding a few questionable ss

bretsayre
There's no perfect solution for a position like this with so many names that are likely to move off it either sooner or later. I own Seager on a few teams and consider him to be a third baseman for these purposes, so he'll be ranked next week on this list. You could certainly make the argument that it's arbitrary, and you'd be correct--but the overall valuing remains the same.
Reply to bretsayre
sfrischbp
I'm rooting for your prediction as I own Castro and Seager but have Chase Headley at 3B at the moment. That would work out nicely for me.
Reply to sfrischbp
gandriole
Dustin Peterson isn't an SS.
Reply to gandriole
This one, on the other hand, was just forgetfulness on my part. Peterson has officially moved off the position (to 3B), but I am a fan of his bat, so the value remains.
Swingingbunts
Is it a foregone conclusion that Manny Machado is staying at 3rd and not moving to SS?
Reply to Swingingbunts
Nope. But since he's not likely to see time at shortstop anytime soon, it can't be factored heavily into his value right now.
Ok, so if the Orioles announce today that they have traded Hardy and Machado is now the starting SS. Where would Machado be on this list?
Jose Inglesias isn't in the top 50?!
Reply to jim3658
SadMagistrate
Does seem an odd omission. Not that he'll ever be a championship winning player, but would figure he'd slot in above all those "could-be" deep prospects. Feel like the 30's would fit him.
Reply to SadMagistrate
I don't believe Iglesias will ever be a starting fantasy player in 16-team mixed leagues. Putting him on this list would have been pointless given that opinion. I don't think I'd even rank him in the 50's if the list went that long.
Interesting and completely understandable. Wasn't sure how much present job + team would factor in. Kudos for the reply.

Roman Quinn is 44 spots too low. Otherwise, nice list.

tbein3316
No Franklin Barreto? He looks to have considerably more fantasy upside than guys like Hak-Ju Lee, Peraza, or Arcia at the very least.
Reply to tbein3316
He was a late cut. The combination of an ETA that's forever away and upside that's not star-level from a fantasy standpoint kept him off. He's extremely likely to make this list next year though.
Thanks for the response, was Franchy Cordero in consideration for this list or is he too far away ETA-wise?
Yes, he was another late cut (he may actually have been 51 or 52). If he flashes more of the power next year, he could take a big jump on this list.

Could you forward this list to Terry Ryan?

Cubs with two of the top nine. As a Cubs fan, I can only hope that ends up being a real "problem" when Baez makes the final jump!

Lowrie's injuries/illnesses in his previous years were all rather flukey. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't stay reasonably healthy over the next few seasons.

I really hope Gleyber pulls an Ichiro and requests to be known simply as "Gleyber". I would buy that shirsey in a heartbeat. In fact, I might go custom order one anyways.
Reply to tonynelson19
I honestly think you and others are undervaluing Asdrubal Cabrera. The guy is 27 entering his prime, and his numbers/ratios from last year were all well below his career norms. He's not a superstar but much more solid than people give him credit for. Other than that I love the list haha.

Does this mean if you were in a dynasty league draft today you would actually draft Addisson Russell over Jose Reyes, but I am assuming this list does not consider in season context - for example you would not trade Jose Reyes for Addisson Russell if you had a shot at winning this year. Am I interpreting this list correctly?

WOODS GIVES FEDEX A BOOST
The presence of Tiger Woods in any event is music to the ears of many people, particularly those backing the FedEx Cup.
The presence of Tiger Woods in any event is music to the ears of many people.
Tournament directors, television executives and spectators are all desperate to see the world number one at their event, especially if he ends up winning or at least in contention on the final day.
So the news that Woods will play all four of the new play-off events in the inaugural FedEx Cup this year has no doubt been greeted with nothing short of a ticker-tape parade on the other side of the Atlantic.
"It's an exciting time for golf," Woods said. "It's certainly going to be more exciting for everyone, not just us as competitors who will be bucking heads against the best more often, but also for the fans."
The new play-off system will initially feature the top 144 players after a 33-week points race which ends after the Wyndham Championship on August 19.
Those 144 golfers are eligible for The Barclays in New York, where the points will be reshuffled with the top 120 eligible for the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston.
After that the top 70 go to the BMW Championship in Chicago and the top 30 from there go to the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Woods leads the points race and could conceivably skip the first or second event and still make it to the Tour Championship.
But maybe becoming a new father has influenced his decision to play all four anyway.
"I have to go on the road to get a little bit of sleep," Woods joked. "From that standpoint, it's been nice to get out and play a couple of tournaments."
:::::::::::::::::::
Woods will of course be among the field at next week's USPGA Championship at Southern Hills, seeking to avoid only the fourth season of his professional career without a major victory.
So far 154 of the 156-strong field has been confirmed, with two spots left open for the winners of this week's World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational in Akron and the PGA Tour's Reno-Tahoe Open.
If the winner has already qualified, the final spots will be awarded to alternates, which likely means good news for local resident Bo Van Pelt.
Van Pelt is the second of 13 alternates but knows that of the 84 players in Akron, 81 have already qualified for the PGA Championship.
Also, one of the players already qualified may not even make it to Tulsa. Bernhard Langer had to pull out of the Deutsche Bank Players Championship in Germany last week with kidney stones and may have surgery this week to remove the stone.
::::::::::::::::::::
Finally, sad news from America of the death of former US Tour professional Taylor Smith,
Smith, who passed away on July 21 at the age of 40, is best remembered for being disqualified from the 1996 Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic for an illegal grip on his long putter.
Smith, the leader after three rounds, was using a long putter with two grips, the bottom one having a flat side in violation of USGA rules.
Fellow competitor Lennie Clements noticed the grip and alerted tour officials on the ninth hole. Smith completed the round, making a birdie on the 18th hole to shoot 67 and force an apparent play-off with Tiger Woods.
Smith's appeal was quickly denied. He was disqualified, and Woods had the second victory of his abbreviated rookie season.
"He was impressive, a talented player the times I played with him," fellow player Billy Andrade told Golf World.
"It's really unfortunate he didn't win at Disney. A player who has never won before, sure, that has an effect. After that, you didn't hear much about him. Very, very tragic."

People should be on the lookout for IRS impersonators calling students and demanding that they wire money immediately to pay a fake "federal student tax." If the person does not comply, the scammer becomes aggressive and threatens to report the student to the police to be arrested. As schools around the nation prepare to re-open, it is important for taxpayers to be particularly aware of this scheme going after students and parents.
The IRS encourages college and school communities to share this information so that students, parents and their families are aware of these scams.
If you receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here are some of the telltale signs to help protect yourself.
Search the web for telephone numbers scammers leave in your voicemail asking you to call back. Some of the phone numbers may be published online and linked to criminal activity.
Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their "IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting" web page or call 800-366-4484.


Empathy, love, understanding, being inclusive, empowerment, sharing, compassion, accepting and generosity. Just some of the emotions and actions we can relate to kindness, one of the most transforming riches that everyone has at their fingertips. One small drop can ripple out with life changing effects that we may never hear or see. It can touch someone to the core in an instant, uplift all that are involved, while holding so much magic and beauty. It's all of this, plus the immense kindness I have been afforded in life, that propels me to teach this wealth of wisdom to our children for their social and emotional development, and home is a great place to start.
Create rituals that illuminate kindness – these can be as basic or in-depth as you like. For example, it may be that you teach your children manners and again highlight the act as being kind. Alternatively it may be that you light a candle at dinner and spend a few moments talking about the kindness you received in your day.
Work with your child's strengths – be led by what enthuses your child, whether it be showing kindness to their coach, teacher, or grandparent. Perhaps it's a random act of community kindness.
Praise, praise, praise - by praising the acts of kindness your child does you will steadily build that as one of their attributes.
Testing of the boundaries is a part of our children's development, and sometimes this will bring out-of-control developmental tantrums which can spiral into a stressful and exhausting environment for all. I know, because that's what made me try this transforming activity with my son when he was three. It worked wonders!
Write out your family's names and the words, 'Is it Kind?' on separate pieces of paper and place these onto the jars. These will be the words that you use when your child does something that isn't kind e.g. hurts someone or something, doesn't listen, screams, etc.
When they do something that is kind, or they change their behaviour after you have asked them 'Is It Kind?' they get to put a 'warm fuzzy' into the jar. When you do something kind, especially for them, you get to put a warm fuzzy in your jar. This can be for basic things like putting on your child's shoes, making their breakfast, taking them to preschool. Doing this helps your child to see the kindness in his everyday life that you as parents give, which begins to create a foundation of appreciation.
When your child keeps doing something that is unkind use the words, 'I will take a warm fuzzy out of your jar because your behaviour is not kind.' My son's reaction to this was immediate with 'no don't' and he changed his behaviour. In the situations when the behaviour takes a while to change, don't give a fuzzy ball. Instead when you see your child do the opposite behaviour that took a while the first time to change, be very quick to reward them exuberantly with a warm fuzzy, while recounting the change from earlier behaviour.
Draw a line on the jar and let your child know this is where they are aiming to get to – make the first one really easy to reach, making them bigger as your child understands the game. On reaching the line, you might like to offer your child a physical reward, or alternatively enthusiastically praise, praise, praise them, while sharing their achievement with everyone they know.
Being consistent and taking every opportunity to accentuate the kind acts that your child, children and you do is important. This consistency of reward and positive reaction from you will boost your child's pleasure in simple acts while teaching them their boundaries and your expectations in a positive way.
One of the best things about the Warm Fuzzy Jar is your children get to see where you, as parents are kind to them. This illumination of kindness can be a breath of fresh air for all. You can use it to help your child eat their dinner, pitching it as being kind to their body, or perhaps teaching them to get themselves dressed, letting them know that self-care is kind. However you use it, I hope it shows fantastic results and builds harmony within your home.


Hard not to want to say 10 more years and 3 more papers and something might come out to help us. Hope I am wrong. Good it's noninvasive and existing technology.
A study of this technology with 5 people is a long way from becoming mainstream effective and available. Don't hold your breath.
Hard not to want to say 10 more years and 3 more papers and something might come out to help us. Hope I am wrong. Good it?s noninvasive and existing technology.
Did you read the paper link called "A Proof-of-Concept Study of Transcutaneous Magnetic Spinal Cord Stimulation for Neurogenic Bladder?" This tiny proof study was just 5 people and was an IRB at the University. They are not hardly even started on finding out what all needs to be known and proven in order to have everyone using it in the clinic. They need to have some results and studies in a lot more people. More time and more study results are needed for sure. No clinical doctor will administer a proof of concept theory on one of their patients. One must enroll in the clinical trial for testing and experimentation like these 5 guys did. Nobody knows how long it will take to become mainstream medical protocol. This is very basic early laboratory research, it is promising, but not anywhere close to complete. In reality, it's taking a very small number of people and working on a hunch that TMSCS might work. I hope people understand that the concept is barely preliminary stage with just 5 people in this "IRB". It's not a therapy on the market, nor is it close to being such.

The coolest part is that the equipment they used is commonplace in hospitals all over the country so I would imagine some "off label" use on the near horizon.
I am not an expert but do have decent knowledge of how things work. Know that this and some of the other studies or research is a long ways away from being in clinic and that continues to be VERY frustrating. Eventually something will get there but the timelines are rarely clear and often moving, not in a good direction. As of Dec I am 10 years and some days it seems like it just happened and other days it seems forever ago. I was naive but never would have imagined 10 years after injury it's still so far away. I'm not talking about a cure but functional improving treatment.
I thought things like the epidural implant were closest and easiest being based off of existing technology. First participant was implanted 10 years ago and they have only done 12-15 total. Likely need hundreds to prove effectiveness. That's going to take years. I won't waste time guessing but it's a ways off.
There are way way more than 12-16 with implanted electrodes. I think we've heard little as my anecdotal evaluation indicates poor results are the norm.
I guess I should clarify that is what I am hearing out of Louisville, KY and under Dr. Harkema. Not sure about Mayo and a few others.
Do you know more about the electromagnetic device they are using ?..
A MagVenture Magnetic Stimulator (MagPro R30, Atlanta, GA) with an active/placebo figure-8 research coil (Cool-B65 A/P Coil) was used for all transcutaneous magnetic stimulation sessions.

Yacht listing service completes new round of funding for global expansion
YATCO has completed a major round of funding to accelerate its global expansion. The Fort Lauderdale-based company bills itself as the "Official MLS of Yachting."
"The increased capitalization to YATCO will allow us to better reach the worldwide consumer marketplace as well as accelerate the introduction of our all new BOSS platform," said Steven J. Myers, founder and CEO, in a statement. Myers said the new platform would "revolutionize" the yachts for sale and charter marketing business by integrating all software into a "single back office solution."
In the last two years, Myers says that it has increased its development and marketing team to 17 professionals in Florida and Europe. The company also plans for further expansion of personnel in California, Annapolis, London, and the South of France by the end of 2018. "For the past 18 years YATCO and our preceding company Yachtcouncil have done an amazing job of serving the world's leading professional luxury yacht brokers," said Helen Ryan, director of marketing. "With this new phase of our growth we are now excited to aggressively expand our reach to both the online yachting and boating markets worldwide."
Ryan said that the company will have an additional website for consumers as well as partnerships. "These will expand the YATCO marketplace to better reach boat owners in every marketplace," she said.
The company currently works with more than 2,000 professional yacht brokers, with listings of over US$15bn in its online central listing marketplace for US$5bn in annual sales.

Dr. Gary Michelson & Driving Progress in Education
It All Started With "The Big 5"
Dr. Gary Michelson and his wife, Alya Michelson, formed the Michelson 20MM Foundation in 2010 (formerly The Twenty Million Minds Foundation) with one goal in mind: to tackle a broken textbook publishing model controlled by "The Big 5" (the nickname for the major trade book publishing companies in the United States).
The vision was lofty: create and provide for the use of a comprehensive, digital, higher education textbook library in an open-architecture platform to mitigate students' expenses and, eventually, replace the costly commoditized textbooks of all high-enrollment general education courses.
In other words, build a new scalable publishing model to provide low-cost or free textbooks.
Dr. Gary Michelson first became involved in this effort when he learned from a group of professors at Santa Ana College, a two-year public institution in Orange County, California, that each term, several bright and qualified students failed to complete their degrees simply because they could not afford the increasingly expensive course textbooks.
After learning that a group of professors were pooling their own money to create a textbook scholarship, Dr. Michelson was inspired to join the cause since he, too, had experienced financial hardships as a college student that pushed him to work up to 2 jobs at a time while in school.
He began by contributing his own funds towards the textbook scholarship, but was committed to finding a more enduring solution to the textbook affordability crisis.
Thus emerged the Twenty Million Minds Foundation, on a mission to increase educational access, foster academic success, and reduce cost obstacles associated with higher education.
Dr. Gary Michelson has partnered with some of the leading philanthropic and educational organizations in the country, whether it's the pragmatic and non-partisan philanthropy of the Hewlett Foundation, or General Assembly's efforts to make educational technology more accessible online.

There is no doubt that dental implant technology has come a long way in past few years, but it is not sure that this treatment will be a success.
The material or may be an improper placement is the main root of tooth problem. Out of many cases, the patient's health along with the lifestyle habits is also a common reason behind the failure of this technique.
Generally, the failure rate lies between 0 and 15% relying on the area of the mouth while receiving the treatment.
By learning what causes these issues, you can prevent them and give yourself the highest chance at success. It is highly recommended to visit reputed dental hospitals or clinics like Farmington Hills dental office to get the right treatment.
Like I said above in a short span of time, dental implant technology has achieved new heights by offering patients with supreme levels of efficacy, suitability, and affordability.
These are some of the common but impactful reasons due to which lots of dentists recommend tooth implants as their preferred method to replace missing teeth.
Advancements done in the coating technology enable dental implant technology to better assimilate with the patient's jawbone.
Moreover, fresh component designs have augmented the suppleness of implant placement, permitting implant dentists to make improvised use of your present bone structure.
This advancement helps them to even offer teeth whitening procedure at the same time. Well, you can ask about this procedure from teeth whitening Farmington Hills dentists.
They will able to better tell you about the 3D Cone Beam CAT Scan Technology.
Developments in imaging technology have significantly enhanced the security and accuracy of dental implant procedures.
One of the utmost novelties in imaging technology is the "3D Cone Beam CAT scan".
This technology increases the level of aspects that can be attained associated with outdated 2-dimensional x-rays. Do not believe me, just click on this link to find out more details about the dental implant advancements.
The data gained from 3D Cone Beam CAT scans are conveyed to a computer to produce a model treatment plan.
The final result is a tremendously precise procedure that safeguards the nerves and sinuses will be evaded at the time of dental implant.


WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WECT) - Sheriffs from across the state gathered at Wrightsville Beach Tuesday morning, as Attorney General Roy Cooper talked about a new initiative.
The program, Badges for Baseball, will pair law enforcement officers with youth to serve as mentors, in hopes to reduce crime and protect communities.
The program uses baseball and softball to teach character development and engage kids with positive role models after school, the time they're most likely to get in trouble.
According to Cooper, Badges for Baseball will serve more than 1,500 youth in 17 communities across the state this year.
Currently, 44 law enforcement officers and 145 other adult mentors are participating in the program through Boys and Girls Clubs and Police Athletic Leagues.
Badges for Baseball is made possible in North Carolina through grants from both the North Carolina Department of Justice and the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation.

Toxic Brew: DGS & Child Safety
October 17, 2019 ~ Valerie Jablow
Perhaps the oddest moment of the 5+ hour city council hearing on October 3, dedicated to sussing out why we have actionable lead levels on DC public playgrounds and recreational spaces with synthetic surfaces, was when the director of the agency responsible for those public places and all DCPS facilities (DGS) noted that lead is a "naturally occurring substance."
(Yeah: see it here.)
Coming after hours of public witnesses testifying as to how poor communication and standard setting by DGS have resulted in obfuscation of even basic principles regarding testing, preventing, and remediating a substance unsafe at any level (see this video of Ward 4 ANC commissioner Erin Palmer for a good summary), declaring that lead is "naturally occurring" is pretty rich–especially as lead is present in urban environments mainly through the actions of people, not Mother Nature.
But that statement revealed a lot–about DGS.
That is, many of DC's outdoor, public play spaces that DGS oversees have artificial turf and rubbery, poured-in-place surfaces that have many attractive qualities–as well as unattractive ones. While such synthetic surfaces are relatively durable, low maintenance, and shock-absorbing, the materials used therein can also contain carcinogens, hormone disrupters, and other substances that one doesn't want children touching, much less ingesting–including lead.
And that's not even getting into the fact that such synthetic surfaces can (and do) fail hardness tests as well as have dangerously high temperatures.
To better elucidate the safety of such commonplace materials in DC's public spaces, two studies in DC have been recently funded: to ensure a master list of all synthetic materials on public recreational spaces as well as to evaluate the safety of the materials themselves.
This is great news going forward. But what that 10/3 hearing made very clear is not only how much we as a city have yet to do, but how much we as a city have failed to do regarding our synthetic surfaces.
For instance, DGS has a website to show the latest hardness tests, as well as a page with the latest lead tests.
That all sounds good until you realize the enormity of what the public doesn't know, including
–All schedules of lead, temperature, and hardness testing;
–What that testing constitutes at each surface and all testing protocols;
–Who maintains each individual outdoor play space in DC (DGS may contract with others for this–and does not work on nor tests charter schools' outdoor play spaces, even though some are located in DC-owned former DCPS schools);
–What constitutes maintenance for each individual synthetic surface;
–The schedule of that maintenance;
–Communication protocols for testing and maintenance of synthetic surfaces, including test results;
–How, when, and where are replacements determined to be needed and then done;
–Who makes those decisions and on what basis;
–Remediation schedules;
–Determination of remediation efficacy;
–Protocols for field and playground closures because of failing tests for hardness, lead, or temperature; and
–Making all this information available in a publicly accessible way that is not disaggregated (i.e., not in separate, unrelated websites).
And that's not even getting into the weeds of how we got here in the first place. Simply put: who made the decisions to put in poured-in-place and artificial turf around the city and why (i.e., some DC public fields have grass); current contractors and their bidding processes for the synthetic surface installation, testing, and remediation; and how those companies are connected to the DC politicians who have supported putting in poured-in-place and artificial turf surfaces.
The upshot is a city agency charged with safeguarding the facilities that our children use at a seeming remove from public concerns about that safeguarding.
For instance, at the 10/3 hearing, DGS personnel made clear that the agency attributed elevated lead levels on a variety of synthetic outdoor school and recreation surfaces to environmental lead–despite evidence that the synthetic materials themselves likely contain lead (including, incredibly, their pigments).
Moreover, there did not appear to be obvious answers for how remediations are being handled (one elementary, Thomson, had its synthetic surface covered, while others have had them removed entirely) nor how effective the remediations are and whether the remediation effort itself is safe (i.e., where are the materials being disposed and how is the rinse water, used to rinse off surface lead, being handled).
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of all of this is that DGS was in a similar position just 3 years ago with lead in school water.
While there are now more clearly articulated processes for making test results public and relatively strict allowable levels, both DGS and the deputy mayor for education (DME) have not made protocols on school water testing clear.
For instance, a revised water-testing protocol was open for public comment 30 days this summer–but never really advertised.
Then, on August 7, members of the public submitted questions and comments on it–but got no response. On September 23, in response to questions about that nonresponsiveness, Alex Cross in the DME's office noted in an email that the testing protocol document would be "finalized shortly."
Nearly a month later, there is still nothing in place, at least publicly, for a water-testing protocol nor have any answers to questions from the public been released.
All of which (ironically) substantiates public fears that DGS never wanted to have anyone in the public aware of or present at its school water testing, which would act as a check on any contractor or DGS personnel simply flushing water lines prior to testing–which would artificially lower levels of detectable lead while doing nothing to actually address the problem.
That lack of clarity regarding procedures for dealing with lead on playgrounds and in school water appears to extend to DGS's treatment of lead elsewhere in our schools.
For instance, at Maury elementary's 1886 building, original plaster was apparently untouched during its recent renovation by DGS and simply covered over with dry wall (see a picture here, from a February public meeting document put out by DCPS and DGS).
Such sealing can, in fact, be a good strategy for containing lead-based paint.
But parents noted that there are few, if any, records available to show what abatement of lead paint was ever done at the school by DGS. The fact that this picture doesn't show any effort to contain chipping paint and dust is thusly worrisome. Not to mention that if ducts were not sealed during that work and there was lead paint on the plaster, it is possible that lead dust entered the school's ventilation system.
Possibly because of public concerns regarding this history of DGS work in schools, the 10/3 hearing also featured council members and public witnesses discussing other basic safety concerns in our schools, including the fact that fire alarms at Beers elementary that didn't sound in June when the school had a fire were actually functional, but had been turned off. (Sigh.)
During the hearing, DGS also noted that despite 124 recent fire code violations in DCPS schools, all have been mitigated.
One certainly hopes that's the case–because this FOIA production of outstanding work orders for my kids' elementary and middle schools at the start of this school year shows many concerning things in DGS's purview there, including fire management systems in need of service or inspection.
What makes this FOIA production all the more incredible (well, besides the fact that it's actually incomplete–am still waiting for the rest, including the open work order for Stuart-Hobson's main library door, which has been nonfunctional for at least 5 years) is the fact that these work orders are for three separate buildings that together have received around $100 MILLION in renovations in less than a decade, all overseen by–wait for it!–DGS.
In other words, from my little corner of DC, it doesn't seem like we're getting a lot of value for that municipal fortune paid out to DGS and its private contractors.
Possibly worse, as a parent whose child lived through the Stuart-Hobson renovation with dust literally everywhere for years running (and attendant health issues among staff and students), I can attest to how DGS has not effectively watched out for kids in schools being modernized.
That is, despite DGS pulling back from doing work in schools while children are present in those schools (a la Stuart-Hobson), kids nonetheless are still being exposed to construction debris and dust (Eliot-Hine, anyone?). Worse, the loss of Ferebee-Hope in Ward 8–leaving no swing space anywhere in either ward 7 or 8–means that the many unrenovated schools east of the Anacostia River will inevitably have children up close to construction zones if and when those schools are ever touched by modernizations.
What makes all of this concerning (well, beyond kids being IN active construction zones) is that there are apparently no standards anywhere regarding the safety of children in construction zones. This is not due to neglect–it's because, well, children are not normally part of construction zones! (Normally, of course.)
As a large city agency, DGS clearly has many masters, including a mayor and numerous contractors, all of whom may have political as well as monetary reasons to put a good face on something that may not, in fact, deserve it.
But there is one master that DGS seems to lack almost entirely: the public.
And our kids pay a very steep price.

Thank you for a this overview and analysis of the unnecessarily harmful exposures at school and play faced by children in DC and the weak response by DGS that may add insult to injury with inappropriate lead abatement (and it's abatement not just "remediation" that is needed: full and CAREFUL removal of all lead contaminated materials- carefully so to there is no spread of lead further). As you note CDC and American Academy of Pediatric
One point of clarification. Has DC released the full report on lead levels with ALL the numbers – not just those over 400ppm? That is an inappropriately high lead standard to apply to playgrounds (90 ppm is paint standard and 100 ppm children's product standard). As you note the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have stated in no uncertain terms – there is NO SAFE LEVEL of lead to expose children to. AAP also states that all regulatory levels only give an "illusion of safety": the only actual safe level is NOT DETECTABLE. So at the very least school officials and parents need to know which are over 90ppm . Lead exposure is cumulative and in the body forever- in addition to affecting the brain lead is stored in and released from the bones during pregnancy and old age, to poison fetal and aging brain. The poison that crosses the lifespan and generations.

I am trying to write a query that returns the total value of order items in columns grouped by sales area rows.  So I would like all the sales areas returned even if the item totals are zero.
I am trying to work with the following rules: within an order release date window, only adding active items to totals.  So far I have this query:
    SELECT salesArea.Area_Name,

            (SELECT SUM(((rr.Price - (rr.Price * (rr.Discount /100))) / orders.Currency_Rate) * rr.Quantity)
                FROM Rooflight_Request AS rr
                WHERE rr.Order_ID = orders.Order_ID
                AND rr.Record_Active = 1
                AND rr.Alternative_Option <> 1
            ) AS Rooflights_Total,

            (SELECT SUM(((rx.Price - (rx.Price * (rx.Discount /100))) / orders.Currency_Rate) * rx.Quantity)
                FROM Rooflight_Extra_Request AS rx
                WHERE rx.Order_ID = orders.Order_ID
                AND rx.Record_Active = 1
                AND rx.Alternative_Option <> 1
            ) AS Extras_Total

            FROM Orders AS orders
                LEFT JOIN Order_Release AS orderRelease ON
                    orders.Order_ID = orderRelease.Order_ID
                LEFT JOIN Project_Status AS projectStatus ON
                    orders.Project_Status_ID = projectStatus.Project_Status_ID
                    AND projectStatus.Record_Active = 1
                LEFT JOIN Sales_Area AS salesArea ON
                    orders.Sales_Area_ID = salesArea.Sales_Area_ID
                    AND salesArea.Record_Active = 1

            WHERE orderRelease.Sales_Release_Date >= 2016/06/22
            AND orderRelease.Sales_Release_Date <= 2016/06/29
            AND (projectStatus.Project_Status = 'Invoiced'
                OR projectStatus.Project_Status = 'Released'
                OR projectStatus.Project_Status = 'Released PM')
            GROUP BY orders.Order_ID

The query returns zero results.  If I remove the sales_Release_Date where clauses I got lots of results but it is not totally the order items for each only taking the first result set from each.
I have tried lots of different arrangements but cannot seem to crack this one.  Cany anybody help?  Thank you

A: If sales_Release_Date is a string include the condition in quotes..
orderRelease.Sales_Release_Date >= '2016/06/22'

If it of type date, you need to include date functions.. str_to_date

I am struggling with a simple editform on a simple documentlibrary.
Problem is that it will not save a document after adding the metadata for a new uploaded document. This only happens when I use a custom Skybow editform. This behaviour only happens when adding a new document. In case of editing an existing document the form works well.
- versioning enabled (only major versions) , no approval required, no check-in / check-out required.
Upload a new document, first form (the not customized newForm for the library) works well.
After clicking op the EditForm opens, because of my additional fields. After adding my additional value, I click on Save and the editForm hangs (working on it....) and does not save the entered metadata.
I can only Cancel this window. The document is uploaded, but not with the desired metadata.
When I set the editForm back to the SharePoint default editForm all works well.
So to me it seems something in the Skybow editForm.
I have already tried creating new libraries with same setup, but every time it fails saving a new uploaded document when using a custom Skybow editForm.
Any ideas or any suggestions are much appreciated.
After testing some different scenarios, I noticed that when I set "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? " in the versioning settings of the (sub)library. The documents could be uploaded.
Sounds like a bug to me... or am I missing some required settings to set before adding a sublibrary?
Christof Nussbaumer configuration is similar as I had.
I have turned on check-in/check-out now to get it working.
To check if something magic happens in-between I changed back the settings similar as your versioning settings and again document will not save.
Upload document is ok, but afterwards the Editform keeps "working on it". Only Cancel can stop the process.
As far as I can see it only happens in this sitecollection. I will give it a try on another sitecollection with the same setup.

Quiet ride so close to NYC
June, 2019 by bkarhoff
My wife and I have been riding the North County Trailway off and on for about 10 years now. Always enjoyable; passes through several small towns but often through unpopulated areas. Trail continues to the south (South County Trailway) and to the north (Putnam County Trailway), so it's possible to start at the NYC border and bike for 40+ miles on well maintained trails.
Beautiful but very tough riding
June, 2019 by cyclist1973
Son-in-law and I rode entire trail round trip--67 miles with excursion into Milford. This is not a flat trail. Lots of tough climbs especially on the large stone gravel at both ends of the trail. Bridges can be slick when wet. Technical downhills. Recommend a mountain bike or gravel bike. Only experienced riders should attempt long distances on this trail. Would consider this a mountain bike trail, not a recreational trail for general public because of the difficulty of the trail. Would rate this as a 4-star or 5-star as a mountain bike trail but only a 2 or 3 as a general rec trail.


When organisations start using new applications they need help to figure out how configure them fitting their business processes, migrate data and train user how to use the tools best. We help organisations implementing opensource applications like Consul, Pol.is, CiviCrm, Nextcloud and others.
When your organisation sees the light and acknowledges that only solar panels and organic food does not make a better world jet, take a look at your software and IT structure. We help organisation transition to opensource software hosted with green energy, secure and safe. In that way your organisation can also work digitally fair, ethical and green.
Often organisations don't have the capacity to run applicayions on premise, with Clowder B.V. we host Opensource Software as a Service for public organisations. We can provide you safe and secure greenly hosted applications such as Consul, Pol.is, CiviCrm, Nextcloud and others.
In the complex world of IT, public organisations need help to figure out what they use and what they need in IT means. With our help organisations can scale-up our down efficiently and often end up saving (lots) of money.
For our work we need to be up to date about what is happening in the field of IT, opensource, participation, (digital) democracy and civic tech. In collaboration with our fantastic partners that work in the social responsible field we organise events and knowledge exchange adressing these topics.


Miller Park is the home of major league baseball's Milwaukee Brewers. Opened in 2001, the ballpark combines state-of-the-art features, including a unique fan-shaped convertible roof, with the 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' nostalgia of America's pastime.
Ballpark tours are available. But if visitors are able to get tickets, there is perhaps no better way to experience the best of American sport than by watching a ballgame with popcorn and a hot dog on a warm summer evening.

A félsivatag átmenet a sivatag és a füves puszta (préri, sztyeppe, szavanna) között. Ez az átmeneti öv akár több száz kilométer széles is lehet.

Két fő fajtájaː
 szubtrópusi, forró félsivatagok,
 mérsékelt övi, hideg telű félsivatagok.

Élővilág
A száraz éghajlat miatt keményszálú füvek, bozótok és más szárazságtűrő növények találhatók e tájon. A gyér növényzet még elegendő az erősen sós termőtalaj kialakítására, amely a félsivatagot elkülöníti a talajtakaró nélküli sivatagtól, illetve a csernozjomos (feketeföldes) mérsékelt övi és a margalitos (szintén feketeföldes) trópusi füves pusztától. Jellegzetesek a tamariszkusz cserjék, az ürömfélék, a kaktuszfélék (Amerika), a szakszaul (Közép-Ázsia). A növények gyökerei rendszerint mélyre hatolnak, a víztartó rétegekig.

Állatvilága: hüllők (kígyók, gyíkok), kutyafélék (pl. sivatagi róka) és macskafélék (pl. hiéna, vadmacska), teve, sáskák, pókfajok, skorpiók, ugrólábú rágcsálók, madarak (pl. talpastyúk, pusztai ölyv) stb.

Nagyobb félsivatagok
 A Kaszpi-tenger vidékén. Itt, a Kaszpi-tengert övező félsivatagi övezetben homokos és vöröses talajok találhatók.
 Turáni-alföld egyes részei. Többnyire só- és szárazságtűrő növények élnek a területen, ilyenek: a homoki sás, a homoki akác, a fejlett gyökerű tevetövis és a szakszaul.
 A Közel- és Közép-Kelet számos régiója, mint Észak-Mezopotámia, a Perzsa-part, a Sinai-fsz. egyes részei, az Arab-fsz. egyes részei, Irán egyes területei, a Szokotra-szk.
 Az indiai-szubkontinensen a Thár-sivatag peremterületei, a Dekkán-fennsík egyes részei
 Az afrikai Száhil öv
 Afrika szarva
 Dél-Afrikában a Kalahári-medence, a Richtersveld stb.
 A Góbi-sivatag egyes részei, Mongólia nagy része
 Az USA nyugati felének nagy része, Észak-Mexikó. Ez a régió Sonora, Mojave, Chihuahua, Arizona, Baja California és Colorado félsivatagaiból áll.
 Dél-Amerikában a Paraguana-félsziget és Cordillera de la Costa (Venezuela), a La Guajira-félsziget és Tatacoa-sivatag (Kolumbia), Észak-Chile, továbbá a földrajzilag nem, de politikailag a dél-amerikai Ecuadorhoz tartozó Galapagos-szigetek.
 Ausztráliában a Belső-ausztráliai-medence peremrészei
 Spanyolországban a Taberna-sivatag és a Tajo-völgy

Renovia Supports ACOG and WPSI Recommendations Related to Screening for Urinary Incontinence
by Renovia | Aug 28, 2018 | Press Releases
Renovia is Developing a Product Pipeline to Better Diagnose and Treat Women Affected by Pelvic Floor Disorders, including Urinary Incontinence
Boston, MA – August 28, 2018 – Renovia Inc. ("Renovia"), a company dedicated to discovering and delivering first-line digital therapeutic and diagnostic devices for women with pelvic floor disorders, today shared its strong support for new recommendations for screening for urinary incontinence outlined by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ("ACOG") and the Women's Preventive Services Initiative ("WPSI").
In May 2018, ACOG released an opinion outlining the need for a comprehensive approach to postpartum care in order to optimize long-term health of mothers. As part of Committee Opinion #736, ACOG recommends postpartum care should involve a full assessment of a woman's physical, social and psychological well-being, including screening for pelvic floor disorders such as urinary incontinence.
Further, WPSI, a national coalition led by ACOG, consisting of 21 health professional organizations and patient representatives, released the first established screening guidelines for detecting urinary incontinence in women in the U.S., recommending routine screening for all women beginning in adolescence. According to the WSPI guidelines, which were published on August 14, 2018, early detection of urinary incontinence symptoms is needed to encourage women to seek viable treatment options.
"The ACOG Committee Opinion and the WSPI screening recommendations are both so well aligned with Renovia's commitment to awareness and first-line treatment," said Samantha Pulliam, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Renovia. "Both recommendations support a call-to-action related to female pelvic health, and we are excited for the positive health impact they can have for millions of women who experience urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders."
Urinary incontinence affects an estimated 20 million women in the U.S.i and an estimated 250 million women worldwide.ii In addition to its negative impact on quality of life, urinary incontinence can lead to severe medical conditions, such as urinary tract infections and skin ulcerations. Despite its high rates and adverse effects on women's health, urinary incontinence is often underreported by women and not recognized by clinicians. However, early intervention has been shown to resolve or reduce symptoms, improve immediate and long-term condition-specific quality of life, and limit the need for more invasive and costly treatments. This alarming number can slowly be brought down by women seeking help from urologists, like the ones at Advanced Urology, who can talk through treatment methods that can drastically reduce symptoms of the disorder.
Jessica McKinney, PT, Renovia's Vice President of Medical Affairs and Clinical Advocacy, added, "These two strong statements recognize the importance of women's health issues, particularly pelvic health. Too often urinary incontinence is a silent disorder women are hesitant to discuss. Recommendations from leading organizations like ACOG and the WPSI are critical to bringing these sensitive issues to the forefront."
Through its proprietary medical device technology and app enabled visualization of pelvic movement, Renovia is developing a product pipeline with the potential to better diagnose and treat women affected by urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders.
Renovia's existing FDA-cleared device, the leva® Pelvic Digital Health System, is indicated for strengthening pelvic floor muscles, and indicated for treating stress, mixed and mild to moderate urgency urinary incontinence in women. The leva device and Renovia's full product pipeline all leverage state-of-the-art patient-based apps and data management technology to provide precise, cost-effective treatment of weakened pelvic floor muscles in real-time, while collecting actionable compliance and progress data on women's pelvic health.

One of my intentions for 2012 was to get involved in doing some crafting for charity/craftivism and on Saturday I had the chance to do just that. My local craft studio, the Create Place, ran a session making dresses for a charity organisation called Dress A Girl Around the World. This is a fab project which sends dresses to girls in the developing world who wouldn't usually have a new dress of their own.
The dresses are simple to make using just a pillowcase and some trimmings (with patterns provided on the website) but look very cute and pretty. Our sewing gurus Jennie and Lisa were on hand to help us if we got stuck and provide refreshments as we sweated over our machines! We had lots of fun sewing and chatting and embellishing but most importantly we made a stack of dresses to send of to girls in the developing world.
And another one in such loud material that I didn't think it needed any embellishment!!
I wish I'd taken more pictures of the dresses everyone else made but I was so wrapped up in my sewing I forgot until it was too late! By the time I took my pictures the light wasn't too great either! Jennie's blog has more pics.
I had a brilliant afternoon, made all the better by knowing that I was doing something worthwhile. I am definitely looking forward to getting involved in more projects like this.
PS. If you want to get involved in this project then a lady called Louise Horler is the UK coordinator. Her blog is here and the facebook page is here.
That's a great idea to get involved in crafting for charity and the dresses are brilliant, what a great cause.
Will check out the link too.


In a 10 inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Spread the spinach evenly across the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with roasted peppers, feta, and bacon.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour over the spinach mixture in the pan. Return the skillet to low heat and cook until the edges are set and beginning to brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and cooked though in the center. Remove and serve warm or let cool to room temperature.
Tip From All Day Long I Dream About Food: The trick to a good frittata is slow cooking. Don't try to hurry it along by turning up the heat or it will become dry and tough.


Why does every question say this question has been deleted when I click on it in yahoo answers with my mobile phone?
It's been doing this for a few days now. I'm using Firefox on Android phone. It doesn't do it on my computer.
How many of you feel like you have a lot of the sense of community with the new Yahoo Answers format?
My network's questions and answers do not show up like they used to. I miss being able to see them.
How come none of my new saved searches work from a mobile phone in YA?
It only works in desktop mode. Only the old searches made before the new system work on the mobile device.
What does it mean when you see someone's profile that does not have the option to follow them?
Does it mean you are being specifically blocked by them or that they are somehow blocking all others from following them?
How come only 2 people's questions and answers are showing up in my network?
I click on 'Answers Home" then on "Discover". I have show answers from network clicked. It used to work and then a few days ago only 2 persons answers from network are displayed. But, I can click on another profile and see the answers. So I know they are still accessible. Is this a temporary glitch or?
Is Yahoo Answers Broken again?
I can now only see answers from only 2 of my network that I am following. With the rest not showing up, and I have to actually click on their profile if I want to see their answers.
Why do some people accuse the Catholics of changing the 10 Commandments when it is just a different ordering of 14 imperative statements?
How do Protestants justify believing the Eucharist is only symbolic while the early Church believed it to be the body and blood of Jesus?
What does yahoo answers have against the mouse?
Whenever I am entering text in the box if I go back and edit it and click the mouse where in the text box I want to start editing, the text automatically scrolls to the top. I always have to arrow down with the keyboard to get the cursor where I want it instead of just being able to use the mouse on touch screen.
Did you know that Pope Saint Telesphorus (reigned A.D. 126-137) instituted the tradition of Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve?
Why did Yahoo Answers make it so you can answer questions without even clicking on the question and seeing other answers?
How do I get rid of reoccurring offensive ads on Yahoo products?
How do I submit a bug to Yahoo Answers?
When I edit my answers and scroll to where I want to edit and either click it with my mouse or use my finger with the touch screen it automatically then scrolls to the top of the page so that I have to use the arrow key on the keyboard to go back down to where I was. This is annoying.
Why does Yahoo Answers use such small text box for typing in the answer?
Is it to encourage short answers? It makes it hard to see and edit your own answer when typing more than a few sentences.
Why is there answers from years ago with no best answer all of a sudden?
When I do a keyword search for questions with no best answer under a topic I get answers from years ago. Whereas under the old system answers with no best answer were only a few days old.
How do I make searches appear chronologically with the new system?
Custom searches (or commonly used searches) used to appear ordered by time. Now, when I make a custom search the answers are jumbled all over the place in time. Also, searches that I make on my pc no longer work when I use my mobile device.
Someone asked why they changed to the new format for yahoo answers. And my answer at the time was, "I don't know. I'm just trying to figure it out now. It seems more complicated." This answer was awarded best answer. But then Y!A had it deleted and so I appealed since it seems obvious it must have been a mistake. Since there is nothing there that could possibly be offensive in that answer. And my appeal was rejected saying it was indeed a TOS violation. I don't understand this. I don't see anything wrong with that answer.
Do Mormons think their own church will fail?
Since they believe the church Jesus started in Jerusalem failed early on after the Apostles. And, Joseph Smith also claimed that Jesus started another church in South America after his Resurrection but this church also failed according to them. So with a track record of having all of Jesus' attempts at creating a church failing according to them then why do they think that their own church will not also fail? And, how do they know if it hasn't already? Since according to them Jesus allows his churches to fall away into apostasy and these churches don't even know that they have fallen away.
Atheists have you ever tried to prove that atheism is true?
It seems that all the evidence is on the side of theism. I mean theism has miracles, testimonies, history, etc. Not to mention most people believe in God. Whether you believe in these things like miracles or not they are in fact things that support theism. But, what evidence does atheism have going for it? It seems that it has no evidence that we can observe. The only thing you can do is to try to disprove all the evidence for theism and then say that atheism is somehow the default position as if it is a default position to believe the universe is uncaused or uncreated. It's almost as if to be an atheist you have to have faith in atheism since there is no evidence for it.

Mustang Mach E Electrifying Ford's 2020 Offerings
November 18, 2019 Automobile Industryelectric cars, Ford Motor Co., SUVsJames Cannon
The Mustang Mach E, Ford's newly unveiled electric car, is an SUV with a lot riding on its struts.

The Future in Now
Ford Motor Company is betting big that its redesigned, futuristic, sporty, high-performance electric car will sell a lot better than their more utilitarian (read boring) electric cars like the battery-run Focus compact car.
Name that Car
When you think "Mach E" consumers should immediately think about "Mach 1" versions of the Mustang sports car, offered by Ford at different times through the years.
Money is No Object?
Ford is going to sell the Mach E at a base price of $43,000. Buyers will be able to choose from three variants of the car: Select, Premium and First Edition. Next year Ford is promising a "California Route 1" version and a bit later they are hoping to introduce a high-performance GT model.
Batteries are Included
Ford announced that the Mach E battery will go for 230 miles before needing a charge. Extended range models are aiming for 300 miles per charge. This compares well with competitor Tesla's Model Y sport utility, which has a 300-mile range for its rear-drive versions, and a bit less for its al-wheel drive performance models.
Speed Racer?
Ford's goal is to get the Mach E from 0 to 60mph even faster than the least expensive Porsche Macan SUV. The GT version of the Mach E is aiming for an acceleration target of the "mid-3-second" range. This compares favorably with the Porsche 911, according to Ford.
Full-Screen Dashboard
The Mach will come equipped with a 15.5-inch screen. Tesla's Model 3 comes with a 15-inch screen. The screen will offer a new generation of its Sync infotainment software that gets its updates through the air, just like a Tesla.
Its Great. When Can I Get Mine?
Consumers can already place their orders. Beginning on November 17, 2019, customers just need to hand over $500 as a deposit to secure their order. The cars should begin arriving by the end of next year.
Tax Reform: A Work in Progress
November 6, 2017 Newselectric cars, Granger MacDonald, Homebuilders, tax reform, Wind powerJames Cannon
Many businesses which form the backbone of the US economy are worried about the Trump tax reform plan and the possible negative effects it could have on the economy.
Sectors of the US economy such as construction, wind power, and electric cars might experience job shrinkage and harm done if the Republican tax plan is enacted as it is now.
The effects of the tax plan, although only in its earliest stages and nowhere near law, have already been felt in the marketplace. Vestas Wind Systems, the world's largest manufacture of turbines used in wind power, saw its stock tumble by 9 percent. Tesla, the leading electric car maker had a stock downturn as well, closing lower by 6.8 percent. The Trump plan includes cutting the $7,500 tax break for the purchase of an electric car.
Homebuilders are also up in arms over the tax reform. The National Association of Home Builders are taking aim at the Republican's proposal to remove the tax credit for mortgage payments. The chairman of the association, Granger MacDonald, said that congress was "ignoring the needs of America's working-class families and small businesses."
"The bill eviscerates existing housing tax benefits by drastically reducing the number of homeowners who can take advantage of mortgage interest and property tax incentives," he said.
Some stocks of homebuilders' companies lost ground. Toll Brothers fell almost 6%, among the worst casualties.
Others are happy with the plan. The US Chamber of Commerce endorsed the plan cautiously, saying the plan was "exactly what our nation needs to get our economy growing faster", but "a lot of work remains to be done to get the exact policy mix right."

Tesla Model S Has a Frunk (Trunk in Front)
In the Los Angeles design studio of Tesla Motors, a crowd of local owners of one of the top electric cars around today, Tesla's Model S, is ready to see a unique demonstration of the powers of their car.
Onto the stage outfitted with wheel guides and a pit like the kind you see in a Jiffy Lube shop rolled the Tesla electric car. At precisely the same moment a live video feed of an Audi pulling into a traditional gas station appeared on a big screen next to the Tesla Model S. On screen a timer starts counting off the seconds while the Audi's driver begins to pump gas into his car and robot arms under the stage begins to change the Model S's batter pack.
By the time the counter gets to 93 seconds the Model S is done, rolls off the stage, and another Model S pulls over the pit and begins to have his batter changed as well. Meanwhile the Audi is still pumping gas. Another 91 seconds pass and the second Model S finishes having its battery changed just as the Audi's gas tank reaches its capacity 20 gallons.
This demonstration, which shows just one of the ways how electric cars work, is convincing evidence of the electric car's worthiness. At the end of the demonstration CEO Elon Musk commented:
"There are people that take a lot of convincing. Hopefully, this is what will finally convince people that electric cars are the future."
