The Midwest Reiki Convergence
~ A Convergence of the Heart ~
Awaken your Courage ~ Enliven your Heart ~ Remember your Joy
What: A Gathering of Conscious People Creating Conscious Community
Why: To Activate the Power of Love
Who: Everyone who is called to be part of the Emerging New World
A Weekend Retreat for Sacred Ceremony & Spiritual Empowerment
Why: To 'Converge' from Everywhere ~ to Remember that We Are One!
Dates and Location TBA
There are many energies circulating the world right now, and we are caught between the ages of what has been and what we are all destined to create RIGHT NOW to insure that there is a resilient future. We are being asked to move beyond ego's greed, fear, control and ultimate violence to examine a world in which we might shift our consciousness to cooperation, generosity, love, openness, honesty, respect, living sustainably on Mother Earth, and ultimate Peace.
What is pulling humanity toward a greater need to connect with one another?
How can we anchor the hope and love of a unified conscious community?
What if there was a large scale electrical outage for an indefinite period of time....for whatever reason....and there were no avenues of communication open to anyone? No cell phones, no computers, no websites, no emails, Facebook conversations, Tweets, Skype calls, radio, or TV? No way to drive your car, no lights, no refridgeration....
What if we suddenly found ourselves alone, feeling isolated... not being able to reach our family, friends, or loved ones?
Would you be able to stand unafraid? Would you KNOW without a doubt that you were safe and connected to an entire community of like minded friends? A community of people who knew they could communicate with a different kind of 'energy'?
What if you knew how to use this 'other kind of energy'?....the energy of the HEART.
This summer, we will celebrate the 5th year of planetary peacemakers converging together...to strengthen our Light and activate the Love that will anchor our Oneness Consciousness.
Whatever comes during this pivotal year of transformation, The Midwest Reiki Convergence of the Heart will empower our abilities to communicate through the Connected Heart of Love. You will KNOW that you are NEVER ALONE, no matter what transpires.
Change is always happening. How we cope with change is what determines our ability to live happy and healthy lives. When we resist or struggle with inevitable change, we may become bitter, hard, resentful, angry, or afraid, which only increases our suffering. The energy of the Heart reconnects us to our Truth and allows us to relax into the evolution of Life.
We hope YOU will be a co-creator of the growing community of Love at The Midwest Reiki Convergence 2012!
We need each other during these transformative times to remind ourselves of the unlimited Goodness Within. We need to take specific mindful time to remember our sense of Oneness. We need to take time to reconnect with Spirit and Nature, so our minds can be clear again and we can remember our Purpose. Our collective support will help each of us end our confusion and learn to trust our own Intuition.
We are here to birth the new world of Love into Being. Wherever you live, my prayer is for you to actively engage in sacred ceremony and celebration in your own spiritual communities. I encourage you to encourage others! As conscious and caring people, we have ignited our inner Light, strengthened our intuition, and allowed magical transformations for our personal and collective 'new way of Being'. Now it is time to anchor the reality and power of our ability to LOVE, which happens within a Conscious Community.
One person at a time, at The Midwest Reiki Convergence, we are building a supportive community of respect and encouragement for one another and the planet we call Home, while honoring our diversity and unique qualities.
If you feel drawn to be part of this collective renewal of spirit, we hope you'll consider Converging with other kindred souls, at the Midwest Reiki Convergence. The true energy of our future depends on ALL of us, working together CONSCIOUSLY in harmony and peace.

We move through 3 days with sacred ceremonies using the 4 elements, and 4 bio-bodies (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) to help us connect back to the heart of our Truth.
We step back in reverence for our precious planet and respect for our ancestors' ways. We also remember that we were birthed from the stars, and connect to the Cosmic origins of our Spiritual Consciousness.
We enter into the Simplicity of each moment, and co-create our days with Inner Guidance, mutual respect, love and laughter.
Live a sustainable lifestyle....stay on a Path that practices love and respect for all life.
Be mindful of how you treat Mother Earth, yourself, and one another.

Giants' GM Jerry Reese talked Monday about trying to take the emotion out of player evaluation.
"It's never personal, guys. We evaluate everybody. There's going to be changes. There's changes every year. It's part of the business. There are some guys…that's probably the hardest part of my job. I've said this to you guys many times that when you have to go in there and tell people like David Tyree or Amani Toomer, guys like that, "OK, we're going to go a different direction," that's always hard to do. That's my job. That's what I have to do and when it's time to move on for players and go a different direction, we have to do that, but it's never personal. It is a hard part of my job."

The last time Braves pitchers were at Turner Field, they left with heads down, as did the rest of the team. That was after a 13-inning season-finale loss to Philadelphia on Sept. 28, which ended their 10-20 collapse and kept the Braves out of the playoffs.
When pitching coach Roger McDowell welcomed back some of his charges Monday for the first day of the Braves' early pitching camp at Turner Field, questions about The Collapse and lessons learned from it elicited similar responses.
Not terse, but succinct.
"The calendar turned over to 2012, and so it is a new year," McDowell said. "Like any other experience you go through, good, bad or indifferent, you learn from it and move on."
To a follow-up question moments later, he answered: "We're going to play 162 [games on the schedule], prepare in spring training and get ready for the season. What happened in the past is not going to dictate what happens in the future. So we'll move on."
Brandon Beachy, one of seven pitchers who took part in the first day of the two-week voluntary camp, said there was optimism among returning Braves despite the bitter ending to their 2011 season.
"That's in the past," said Beachy, 25, who finished 7-3 with a 3.68 ERA in 25 starts as a rookie. "We learned from it, I believe. We know what happened. No one [person] is to blame. Each of us on an individual basis has things we need to improve on and things we could have done better at certain times. But it's the beginning of a new season."
The Braves return the big three at the back of the National League's top-rated bullpen – closer Craig Kimbrel, setup man Jonny Venters and left-hander Eric O'Flaherty – and their top four starters in Tim Hudson, 2010 All-Star Jair Jurrjens, Tommy Hanson and Beachy.
However there are plenty of questions to be answered, specifically in the rotation with Hudson, Jurrjens and Hanson all dealing with health issues.
Hudson had back surgery in late November and will be brought along cautiously, which could push back his season debut back until mid-April or later, McDowell said Monday.
"We'll progress [with Hudson] as the doctors say we can progress," McDowell said. "Whether it's the middle of April or the first of May, whenever it is. We'll probably be a little bit more cautious so that we can have him at the end, instead of speeding up at the beginning.
"No need to rush things and then have a setback, then we're looking further down the line. Where he can be healthy and he's ready to go for the duration of the season."
Hanson (shoulder) and Jurrjens (knee) missed most of the second half of the 2011 season, and the Braves are counting on both of them to be fully recovered for spring training and to spearhead the rotation entering 2012.
Beachy was the only incumbent starter at the camp Monday, but Hanson has worked out recently at Turner Field and McDowell got a good report from Jurrjens last week.
"Everything's good" with Hanson and Jurrjens, McDowell said. "I talked to JJ last week. Tommy's been in here working out. JJ says he's ready to go and Tommy says he's ready to go, so we'll just prepare as if they're 100 percent ready, which they are."
Jurrjens, who didn't make a start in September, working five encouraging innings in an instructional league game the day after the season ended. It would have served as his tuneup for a start in Game 3 of the division series if the Braves had advanced.
"I thought that was good for him from a mental standpoint," McDowell said, "to be able to do that and go into the offseason knowing he was healthy."
After hearing winter trade rumors involving left fielder Martin Prado and Jurrjens, Beachy was glad to see Jurrjens' nameplate over his locker stall, adjacent to Beachy's.
"I'm pleased we'll have this guy [Jurrjens] back and Martin back," Beachy said. "Those are two huge pieces of our team.
"I'm really confident in what we've got in this clubhouse and what we're going to be able to do. We're going to be healthy, and a lot of young guys including myself have a year of experience now."
Also participating in the first day of camp Monday were pitching prospects Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado, both expected to compete with favorite Mike Minor for the fifth-starter job.
Teheran and Delgado were thrust into pressure situations last season after injuries to starters. Delgado had a 2.83 ERA in seven starts and Teheran had a 3.83 in three starts.
"In the heat of a pennant race, what they were able to accomplish last year gives them an idea of what they need to do to prepare for a season," McDowell said.
Others at camp Monday included reliever Cory Gearrin, prospects J.J. Hoover and Jaye Chapman and journeyman Buddy Carlyle, a former Brave who is back on a minor league contract after spending the 2010 season in Japan and 2011 with the Yankees.

Normally, the schedule will allow a team the luxury of not having a carry a 5th starter at the beginning of the season, if this is the case and Hudson needs a month to get ready, where do Delgado and Teheran fit in? Neither one of them has anything to prove at AAA, so what do you do with them? The bullpen is out of the question because you want them pitching in a rotation.

the team has too many pitchers and not enough OFs who can generate power and runs. so they sign another pitcher (a fringe major leaguer -cheap) . Teheran and Delgado will likely not have a starting role unless at least 2 of the 3 question marks are injured on opening day.
this team is content to try to back into a wild card slot, but not serious about winning.
as currently constituted, the Braves will not make the playoffs – by much more than 1 game this time.
aside from claiming a minor leaguer in the rule 5 draft, signing a group of minor league free agents, and signing back ther own guys, what have they acomplished all offseason ? not much.

Any help is greatly appreciated….thanks in advance.

Good for the Braves for their positiveness and we all ought to be looking forward to a great year of Braves baseball!

Wow. Bit of a surprise seeing the name Buddy Carlyle associated with the Braves again. Supposedly his minor league contract does not contain an automatic invite to spring training. With as much young pitching as the Braves have, it stretches the imagination that we will ever see him on the 40 man roster. But I think it is a "class act" by the organization to allow him a chance to try and prove to whatever scouts are out there that he can play a role in some team's pen. Our maybe stick around as a roving minor league pitching instructor.

For those who want to bash a guy just for fun, during the 2008 season, when Carlyle was healthy instead of a Type-1 diabetic, his numbers were NOT bad at all as a reliever. He was 2-0 in 45 games, with 59 Ks in 62.2 innings, while only giving up 52 hits. His ERA that year was 3.59, which isn't bad for someone whose role would not be as a set-up man or closer. (He did have major ups and downs as a starter in 2007.) PLUS, every team needs a couple of veteran pitchers at the AAA level to serve as mentors for the young guys and to be an alternative to calling up a 21 year old for bullpen depth if needed during the season.

It looks like Teheran and Delgato may both start the year in AAA. Teheran could use a little more work in the minors, but Delgato seems to have nothing left to prove the way he pitched last year. Somehow these things seem to work out, and it will be great to have a pitcher like Delgato ready to compete when the time comes.

Braves say collpase is behind them.
So is Game 3 of the 2010 NLDS and where did that get us?
Two years in a row we are to believe that the failure of the previous year will serve to motivate the team to finish better the following year.
Dear Atlanta Braves,
We'll believe it when we see it.

I guess when you are making millions of dollars whether you win or lose, it makes it easier to put everything behind them. It's not behind me I can tell you that much. When a team shows no heart like the Braves did last September, its hard to support them. That is why I won't spend a dime on them this year, and will laugh like hell when the fall flat on their faces again this year and the entire coaching staff gets fired. This team needs a new direction.

January 31st, 2012

One would expect the comments made by Beachy. The players would not say that the collapse of 2011 was still on their minds and it will take some time to get over it.
However, the problem is that it is still in the minds of many fans. As a fan, I personally believe there are issues that the team needs to address if they are to be competitive in the NL east with the Phils, Marlins and Nats. Then there are obvious question marks. The SS situation, Chipper Jones, where is the right handed power hitting outfielder that is needed are some issues. Anyway, all we fans can do is wait and see and hope for the best.
January 31st, 2012
7:13 am
We still need a RH OF/1B bat that rakes agaist lefthanders, to platoon w/ Heyward or to periodically spell Freeman against tough lefties.
There were candidates that would have been affordable…Wren has let them slip by.
My thinking is that his strategy is to trade JJ about 2 months into the season, for a RH bat.

Mitchell, when are you and the rest of your ilk gonna actually do what you say… it's obvious… you hate the Braves…. please, just go away… you bring NOTHING but doom and gloom in your every post… grab your binky, join your fellow puss-sters alex and phil, and go somewhere else to carry on your personal pitty party! Never seen (supposedly) grown people CRY as much as you and the whimpsters do! Even kindergarteners quit crying over everything as they age a year, why can't you?

I hope the Braves can come back. Time will tell. Can Chipper stay healthy enough? Is the pitching healthy again? Can the new short stop replace Gonzo? Can the team hit in the clutch? So many unanswered questions.
January 31st, 2012
7:46 am
@Stinger2 — Geez, you are concerned as a fan… don't you think the players who actually do this for a living, along with the coaches realize this too, or are you the only enlightened one?
January 31st, 2012
7:51 am
This is basically Minor's 3rd year now so hopefully he is ready for the next step because I think the Braves need a dominant left hander in their rotation. This pitching staff can be great but the starters are going to have to pitch deeper into games and take some pressure off the bullpen. Beachy, Hanson, & Minor need to get into the 7th almost every start and a sure sign of trouble down the road is if in April & May these guys are at or near 100 pitches at the end of 5.
January 31st, 2012

You can throw zeros all day…if you don't hit, you don't win…there has to be a whole number somewhere on the board…crooked ones are even better.

So the very same players that choked away a 10 game lead a few months ago won't even think about it this coming September?
Trouble is, with the Marlins and Nats improving, and us standing pat in the off-season, we probably won't be anywhere near the Wild Card race this Sept to see if we lose 20 of 30 again . . .

Makes me feel good to know baseball is in the air! Another season, another year of maturity. We've been screaming about the bat problems for 2 years now. The last 2 years we've relied on our pitching staff to shut em down, and that last minute 1 swing of the bat. It's not a reliable recipe for winning. We need a process that's repeatable. That means small ball, singles and doubles with smart base running rather than the big blast. It means a reliable leadoff and the removal of all obvious holes in the lineup. Not sure we've made those kind of moves in this off season, but FW seems to be okay with giving them this season to find out.
January 31st, 2012

I hope they are ready since I just took a look at the schedules for all teams posted in the USA Today. Unless I am missing something, it appears our Bravos play 18 games with AL teams consisting of 3 games with Boston, TB, Baltimore and Toronto and 6 games home and home with the Yankees while the defending NL East Champs, the Phillies, play 15 games consisting of 3 games each with Boston, TB, Baltimore and Toronto and 3 games with the mighty Twinkies. Don't you just love it!

Who cares about the collapse behind them, when it's the collapse in front of us that matters more. Liberty Media stood pat with a team that will finish 3rd or 4th in the NL East, because they short shift Braves fans with a payroll allocation more suited to a AAA farm team. The president of liberty media makes in excess of $100 Mil/yr, and they allow the Braves a payroll of $90Mil. They don't care if a 1st place team or a 5th place team takes the field, they know fans will fill the seats and spend $50-150 on tix, colas and souvenirs.

If a fan pays their money to attend the caravan then they ALL deserve to get an autograph from each of the players participating. I remember I went to a caravan in Atlanta about 5 years ago and it was like 19 degrees and me & my son stood in line 1 hour to get Chipper Jones autograph and he stopped signing. There was about 400 people still in line. That's bad operations right there.

The Braves are going to win it all this season. WS Champions 2012.
January 31st, 2012

The solution is for the Braves to purchase about 1,000 baseball cards each of the players attending and have the players pre-sign each card then give it out and shake hands with each fan. It would be faster and every fan would get an autograph.

Bottomline is Phillies & Marlins are a better team on paper right now. When 3 of your starting pitchers are coming off injuries you've got major health issues that decide the fate of your season.

DOB – do all your readers a favor and quit asking every Brave to comment on the collapse. We get it – they were devastated, they've moved on. Now help us move on by focusing on 2012! Enough is enough.

Hmmm, as defensive as Roger is, I'd say the collapse is still very much the present.

Tell me "tough guy" who do you root for? Let me guess, the Phillies? As a Braves fan living in central Pennsylvania for almost 60 years, I can assure you that there would be no end to the whining by not only Phillies' fans but the local media as well if the schedule was reversed.

Beachy : "I'm pleased we'll have this guy [Jurrjens] back and Martin back," Beachy said. "Those are two huge pieces of our team."
Yeah and two of the main reasons Braves collapsed last year. Jurrjens was injured & Prado slumped.
Nobody knows really what kind of player Prado will be this year and the uncertainty is discontenting big time !
January 31st, 2012
10:31 am
I've said it before and I'll now repeat it…
Can Chipper stay injury-free and play 125 games ?
Can Jurrgens,Hudson,Hanson regain form after surgeries ?
Can Heyward rebound to his rookie form ?
Will Uggla hit .200 in April & May again ?
Can Prado hit .300 ?
Is Kimbrel for real or was last year an abberation ?

I'm with BravesfaninWis here. Easy for them to say "it's behind us". What do they care? They get to make millions, and win or lose, they get their check. Imagine if the rest of us got to fail and still get paid. FREDI SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED! You CANNOT keep the manager after an epic failure like last year, the Red Sox knew it, that's why they fired a guy who had won 2 world series championships. If they think the fans in this city are just going to forget about 2010 and move on, they're wrong, at least from this fan's perspective. I'm a lifelong Braves fan of 30 years, been through it all with them, and this is the first season where I am committed to not attending a single game, not buying a single overpriced beer, and not supporting this team IN ANY WAY until they at least act like IT'S NOT OK TO LOSE! I think the fans need to send a message to the organization: LOSING IS NOT TOLERATED! ONLY CHAMPIONSHIP MATTER, NOTHING ELSE! We are way too easy on our teams, and it has to stop. I'm sick of them thinking that we can be won over so easily. To hell with them.

How did the Giants rate paper-wise in 2010?

Trade JJ, Hanson, and Prado and get Adam Jones and JJ Hardy somehow.
Beachy, Minor, Teheran, Delgado, and Vizcaino to start.
Medlin to set-up.
O'Ventbrel to close.
The rest of the staff isn't consequential.

Inter-league play stinks! The only time that the NL should play the AL is in the WS. It would do away with any perceived imbalance between league rivals and allow them to shorten the schedule to 153 games and let playoffs begin a week earlier. Especially with the expanded playoff format.
January 31st, 2012
11:23 am
If all that is needed is for someone to say "Its behind us"; then perhaps it would have been a good idea for someone to have said this in the middle of September last season.
But there is no reason to worry, After all, all that is needed to win is:
(1) The FOUR of our five starting pitchers who are injured to come back and return to being great. (What are the odds on that for Pitchers after seious injury??)
(2) And relating to all of our additional young Pitching talent, the situation to STOP where – since Leo left as Pitching coach 6 or 7 years ago – of all the large nuimber of Starting Pitcheres we have had, MOST OF THEM HAVE ENDED UP BEING INJURED. (What are the odds of that not continuing???)
(3) For Chipper to play a reasonable number of games and to have ACCEPTABLE DEFENSIVE RANGE both to his right and to his left – when he is playing; and for him to return to being the great, great hitter that he once was – or to at least hit like a 3rd place hitter where he is hitting in the batting order. (What are the odds??)
(4) For Heyward to hit like a major leage outfielder instead of a hitter not good enough to make a major leage team as a fourth or fifth outfielder. (What are the odds – when there is no indication of his being able to adjust to major league pitching???)
(5) For a rookie shortstop to have acceptable production as hitter when there is no indication that he is ready to hit major league pitching – even if he is able to do the job defensively. (What are the odds of this happening???)
(6) For the second baseman to have an acceptable Batting Average and an accptable On Base Average after the 2010 season that he had in these departments. (What are the odds????)
And this assumes that Prado is still with the team and will play Left Field and will return to being a great hitter (which I think is very probable — But then who will play 3B when Chipper is out???

The Braves collapse is indeed behind them, just as every team's 2011 is behind them as well. Had the Braves been the heavy favorite to win it all (think Phils and Red Sox), their 10-20 "collapse" would have been more "epic." In reality, the 2011 Braves were a playoff contender that endured the loss of 3 of their starters (Hanson, Jurrjens, and Lowe – oh that's right, Lowe wasn't hurt, he just stunk)as well as a less-than-healthy Prado and Heyward. We will be back as contenders in 2012! GO BRAVES!

I truly believe that the players are not getting it. That is teh fault of the manager and the management. There has been no accoutability for the collapse. All we ever hear is that same old stuff. It didn't go out way. It wasn't our time. That's all BUNK!!! Where is the passion. where is the sick feeling and the yearning to win. New ownership is needed badly and so are players with some fire..
January 31st, 2012
12:53 pm
Look from here until mid April every beat writer and blog reporter will be doing lighter pieces on their teams. As the saying goes "every team thinks they will win the WS going into spring training"
ST is the ultimate reboot or palate cleanser. The Braves are no different.
If they stink up the place and the "IFs" don't pan out to there favor there will be plenty of articles and blog posts calling for Liberty to go and or people to be fired.
With the lousy TV deal hanging around this club like a lead anchor they are going to be stuck in a 3-4 year loop of living off minor league talent and cheap 1yr rentals. Then when their young guys get too expensive they will unload them and spend 20-30mm on new players.
That is the new Braves way. I am getting a headache from critiquing them. Let's see where they are coming May 15th. By then you will know what kind of team you have.
I say its a coin toss good or bad at this point based on comebacks & health. No meaning adds at the deadline IMHO. If they make a big trade at the deadline it will be to unload a player to a contender.

I see the Braves as 3rd place at best in the East. Then their excuse will be "we are rebuilding and our pitching is young". Lately the mantra for the Braves is "wait till next year" but next year winning NEVER comes !

What's the deal with Heyward ? Is he a Hank Aaron or a Terry Harper ? Based on last year he ain't even a Terry Harper…
January 31st, 2012
1:21 pm
Instead of trading for or signing a power bat LF the Braves chose to keep light hitting Prado & hired a new hitting coach (Greg Walker who hit a career .245). That makes a whole lotta sense…
January 31st, 2012
1:33 pm
Not necessarily saying I disagree or it is the wrong move, but the talk of saving Hudson so he is available at the end shows they may not have learned anything from the collapse last year. I watch every game and it seemed to me the collapse started when the focus starting shifting to getting everyone rested for October. Until you have an "x" or some other clinching mark to your name you can't worry too much about rest.
January 31st, 2012
1:52 pm
The Braves start the season with the longest list of "IF's" of any team in the NL. They need ALL those if's to come good or they are sunk. NO TEAM gets ALL their "if's" to come good. Thus, the Braves are done by July 15th and sellers in the race. JJ, Prado, others, will be traded for yet more "future" (spelled CHEAP) players. Chipper will not play 110 games. Heywood will hit less than .250 and continue to strike out 1 out of every 3 ABs. Ugly hits .215 with 185 K's again. Injuries, age, does this team in early. Too bad. So sad.
January 31st, 2012
1:57 pm
Remember, NEXT year never comes. When it get's January 1st, it is no longer NEXT year. It is THIS year. AND RECENT HISTORY HAS PROVED: The Braves do not win THIS year. They continue to look to NEXT year.
January 31st, 2012
1:59 pm
The Nationals beat the Braves almost every game down the stretch last year. So instead of just the Phillies to fight with now the Braves have 3 teams that all got better by trading and signing players. The Braves stood pat. The Braves will regret that and finish 4th in the NL East this year.
January 31st, 2012
2:00 pm
True Dat:
You win the prize for the most pessimistic poster. I can't quite figure out why you keep following the Braves if the irritate you so much. Just a couple thoughts for you to consider:
(1) I don't recall Braves management saying this year or last that they were waiting for next year; the missed the playoffs by 2 measely games despite going 10-20 in September, having McCann and Prado have injury related poor performances down the stretch; being without their No. 2 and 3 starters effectively for the last 2 months of the season; and Gonzalez and/or Wren choosing to send Lowe out to pitch batting practice in August and September, including the pivotal last game despite the fact that Teheran and Medlen were on the roster;
(2) Who knows who the real Heyward is right now; however, he did play injured last year which I and many others feel contributed to his sophomore slump and he is still only 22 years old;
(3) The only power hitting outfielders available on the market were overrated and overpriced (e.g. Willingham, Ludwig, Cody Ross, etc); Wren kicked the tires on Adam Jones, but, if the alleged asking price was accurate (i.e. Jurrjens, Prado and two of the Braves' premier young pitching prospects), who in their right mind would want Wren to make that deal;
(4) Greg Walker's lifetime BA is irrelevant to whether he is a good hitting coach–Hank Aaron was a great hitter but by his own admission would be a lousy hitting coach; besides, unlike Larry Parish, at least Walker has been a successful major league hitting coach in the past;
(5) Prado admittedly does not have a lot of power, but in almost 2,000 career ABs he has a career BA of .293 and OB of .341 despite his lousy year last year;
(6) Pitching is the key to success in baseball and the Braves have NINE (9) established pitchers or premier propsects to man a 5 man rotation (Hudson, Hanson, Jurrjens, Beachy, Minor,Medlen, Delgado, Teheran and Vizcaino) and one of, if not the best, and deepest bullpens in MLB with Kimbrel, Venters, O'Flaherty and probably Medlen and Vizcaino (with the exception of Hudson and O'Flaherty, all of these guys are 26 years of age or younger); and
(7) All of the other contending teams in the NL East have their own offensive issues, including, if not especially, the Phillies.
Did it ever occur to you and the other critics that this team can improve without significant changes simply because the young core will be a year older and a year improved and hopefully they won't be hit with a rash of injuries down the stretch? Probably not.
January 31st, 2012
2:03 pm
I see everything from the sky. And the sky is falling on the Braves. With Ted Turner,John Schuerholz,Bobby Cox,Smoltz,Glavine,Maddux Braves were winners. Now with McGork,Birdie Wren,Fab 5 Fredi G,and Hudson,Hanson,and Jurrjens the Braves are losers.
January 31st, 2012
2:06 pm
Baron Von Raschke, you left out the part about those 3 pitchers coming off major surgeries. You also left out the rookie shortstop. Its hard to see the glass half full when 3 other teams appear better than your team and your team did nothing to improve !

January 31st, 2012

A guy like Greg Walker that couldn't hit a baseball very well cannot show another hitter how to succesfully hit a bat baseball (like .300 hitter average). He can show them how to hit .240

Carlyle's back? Wow, that will really turn things around. That is the difference maker we needed, right there.

January 31st, 2012
3:00 pm
All the negativity is unbelievable. We're getting ready for spring. Everyone is looking forward to the season.
The Braves have so much pitching depth its crazy. With the speed of Bourn and Pasternicky, maybe the offense will try some running this year. Heyward, Uggla and Prado will all have better offensive stats than last year. Freeman will continue to improve and McCann/Ross will cover home.
The real questionmark is will they find a third basemen to take 400-500 at bats and give us a .470 SLG? They will need to put some fear in the other team's defense and drive in some runs, especially with runners in scoring position. A high OPS (.340 or above) would be great. Give me someone that is arguably in the top 3 as an offensive third baseman, and make sure they can field the position. Oh yeah, that's Larry.
I can't go to spring training this year but its a time of year when people need to be positive about the future. It is still to be written. Most teams have to go sign huge contracts for free agents that distort their payroll. The Braves were forced to do it a couple of years ago and ended up with KK and Lowe. We are still paying for that. Its best when you can build from your farm teams and maybe some trades. I like the way the Braves are building for the future.
As people slam Wren, remember that when he traded away a disruptive SS for a steady hand, he also obtained Pasternicky.
January 31st, 2012
3:00 pm
The Braves have no money so what moves could they make? Apart from trading Delgado, Teheran or Minor in a deal Prado and JJ alone (or even combined) weren't going to bring back enough to dump them.
Sooner or later Wren will trade a great arm and not just a JJ salary dump type of move unless he gets some payroll room.
Next year he will have that room but a very poor showing in 2012 will put him and Fredi on the hot seat.
January 31st, 2012
3:13 pm
uhhhh, NO it is not behind them. They collapse in the playoffs EVERY YEAR. That is a trend. Hate to break it to ya.
January 31st, 2012
3:13 pm
What about a "6th starting pitcher"? The idea is on those 5th starting days we could have two pitchers that will be used exclusively to salvage the rest of the bullpen & give days off. The 5th starter pitches the first 4-5 innings and then the 6th starter finishes off the last 4-5. When not needed, for the 5th/6th starting duties for an extended amount of time, you have a built in long reliever or two great guys (teheran and Delgado) to pitch extra innings and rest the big 3 more often.
January 31st, 2012

I like this team's chances

For those whp use Greg Walker's batting average against his ability to be an effective hitting coach ever heard of Charlie Lau ? Check his stats and he was one of the greatest hitting coaches of all time ? How 'bout Dave Duncan"s pitching record vs his success as a pitching coack ??

TEAMS: Missouri Tigers, Texas A&M Aggies
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Johnny Manziel threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more scores as No. 9 Texas A&M handled Missouri 59-29 on Saturday night. The Aggies (10-2, 6-2 SEC) scored touchdowns on their first six drives to build a 42-7 halftime lead and coast to their first 10-win season since 1998. About the only drama in this one came when Manziel, the Heisman Trophy hopeful, was shaken up on a tackle at the end of a run in the first quarter. But Johnny Football missed just four plays before returning with a brace on his left knee. And it didn't seem to slow him down one bit. The Aggies were up 21-0 when he returned, and he threw touchdown passes on three straight possessions to end the first half. He scored on an 18-yard run to start the third quarter, and added another rushing touchdown when he bulled in from 1-yard out early in the fourth. Manziel added 67 yards rushing and completed 32 of 44 passes on Saturday. He has thrown for 24 touc...

Don't tell Paul Krugman, but Washington's spending splurge on bigger government has resulted in a new class of the upper, upper-income earners. The Wall Street Journal documents it all in a story headlined: "What Sequester? Washington Booms As a New Gilded Age Takes Root."
The new moneyed brain trust is being led by professionals in defense, intelligence and data—many of whom excelled initially due to government ties. They've propelled the D.C. region as a leader in the cybersecurity and data sectors, as well as in more-specialized arenas including educational products and health-care data management.
In the first decade of the 21st Century, government spending was the major source of growth in metropolitan D.C., an area that includes the neighboring Maryland and Virginia suburbs. In 2010, federal spending, comprising mostly private-sector contracts, made up 40% of the local economy.
By 2012, that proportion had slipped by four percentage points. But the local economy has still grown faster than the nation as a whole and is projected to continue doing so at least through 2017, says economist Stephen Fuller, a George Mason University professor and an expert on the D.C. regional economy. Its nearly $450 billion economy puts the D.C. region in fourth place nationally, behind the more-populous regions of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, and ahead of Houston.
Meanwhile, it's not difficult to spot examples of today's abundance. After only a year in business, Aston Martin of Washington, D.C., based in the wealthy Virginia suburbs, is ranked seventh in sales in North America, having sold 100 of the $120,000-plus cars.
At the Washington Humane Society's annual "Fashion for Paws" gala on April 13, attendees raised contributions of a minimum of $5,000 each to walk their dogs, dressed in tutus and tuxedos, down a runway. At Karma, a Georgetown salon owned by society cosmetologist Erwin Gomez, customers plunk down $350 for eyelash extensions, while the new Capella hotel down the street charges $22 for a martini.
Locals are soaking up the good life at the Ritz-Carlton, too, where restaurant bookings and special-events sales are surging. "My numbers are up considerably year after year," says Elizabeth Mullins, vice president and D.C. general manager at the hotel.
The Ritz sponsors "Knock Out Abuse," a females-only auction to support domestic abuse victims that is a symbol of the new D.C.'s charity bacchanalia. At recent auctions one woman contributed $6,000 to the charity to have dinner with former Redskins football star Clinton Portis, and others contributed hundreds of dollars each to climb a stage and strip the shirts off Maryland firemen.
Seven of the nation's 10 wealthiest counties are in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region, compared with only two in the New York metropolitan area, and none in Silicon Valley. Census data from 2010 show median household income was $84,523 in the D.C. area, compared with $83,944 for Silicon Valley's wealthy San Jose region.

Black Diamond Ranch Florida Wedding
What can I say… I love to travel, I love to visit new places, & I love to meet people. I loved traveling to Florida & being a destination wedding photographer. This wedding in particular was special to me in a certain way. I had known Katrina since childhood & I was thrilled that she was excited & loved my work. The wedding took place at a beautiful Black Diamond Golf Ranch. The scenery was spectacular. I loved the view, the weather, & most of all being part of Ryan & Katrina's wedding day. I love being able to travel & arrive at new places that I've never been to before & never seen before & it gives me soo much experience working with couples & making the most out of every single place we go. I guess one of the benefits of traveling is having the advantage of always going to new places & in turn hiring a destination wedding photographer thats not from your own local area is actually a benefit because the photographer is used to working with new locations.
Wedding was extremely unique, fun, & really elegant. It was a real pleasure having this opportunity to be able to be part of this wedding & being able to be the one that captures these moments gives me great joy. If you would like you may read the review from this awesome couple by clicking here

New York Ballroom Legend Dashaun Wesley Proves Paris is Burning Brighter Than Ever
Voguing master Dashaun Wesley maintains his composure through fierce dips and spins in today's black-and-white short by photographer and filmmaker Michael Hemy. In the 1980s, when the grandfather of voguing Willi Ninja still ruled the New York scene, the dance style was an underground movement among the city's black and Latino gay communities. Today, thanks to YouTube's global reach, awesome battles and jaw-dropping performances are just a few keystrokes away, inspiring a whole new generation of voguers from Finland to Taiwan. Leading the pack is 28-year-old Wesley, a member of the House of Evisu community who frequently travels to far-flung places preaching the voguing gospel and insists there's more to the style than meets the eye. "People only see the floor slams, the layouts and the dips," he says. "It's not about that—it's about your personal experiences, which you display through your body movements." In today's film, co-conceived by New York journalist and entrepreneur Robert Cordero, Wesley weaves a compelling narrative based on his ballroom antics. "You can almost feel the camera shaking and hear the crowd go wild when you see him perform a drop," says director Hemy of his subject's delirious Vogue Femme technique, evolved from previous generations' methods. NOWNESS caught up with the dance hero for some more insight into how and why voguing has become a worldwide phenomenon Willi Ninja would have been proud of.
What's the biggest difference between voguing in the 1980s and now?
Dashaun Wesley: YouTube has had the biggest impact on voguing. Social media such as Facebook, Myspace, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. have all played a part in making it more popular. Although Madonna kicked off the whole trend, today people can just type in a few letters and you can get a voguing video. The energy is so high.
Why is voguing so incredible to watch?
DW: When a person vogues, their character comes out. It's like telling a story, and the way I align my body or throw my hand may be different from someone else.
Can it be taught?
DW: You have people teaching voguing who have never walked in a ball. When you get someone from the scene, you get the real stuff, so I think it's important that I travel and teach. I found that people only think that voguing is what they see on YouTube—and it's really not.
How do your students outside New York react differently to the hands-on experience?
DW: In the US, my students can't do a lot of things I teach. But when I go to Russia, they do everything. I also teach them there's a difference between knowing how to do things, and knowing why you're doing it.
The Parisian Graphic Design Duo Celebrate Twenty Years of Visual Alchemy
An illustrated duck on a Björk album cover, a typeface dedicated to Carine Roitfeld and bit-character humanoids populating a deconsecrated chapel feature in this series from two of the most acclaimed creatives of their generation, Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak, better known as M/M (Paris). Since crossing paths at Paris's Les Arts Décoratifs school, the pair have worked as graphic designers and art directors on distinctive fashion, art and music projects incorporating unconventional typography, print, illustration, photography, film, objects and interior design. Envisioning their commissions as "conversations," M/M (Paris) have collaborated with the likes of photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and Mert and Marcus, and designers Riccardo Tisci, Nicolas Ghesquière and Yohji Yamamoto. Invited by Thames & Hudson to produce a monograph of their oeuvre some 12 years ago, the pair have finally collated their trailblazing imagery into a definitive 528-page softback, designed by Graphic Thought Facility, that includes dialogue with close collaborators alongside hundreds of illustrations. "You can't design a book for your own work because it becomes too self-centered," explains Amzalag. "It was important for us to put ourselves in the position that we have put so many others in—what it feels like to put our work in the hands of someone else." Ahead of their 20th anniversary, M/M reveal the secrets behind their innovations.
On establishing collaborations…
Michael: Most of our relationships have happened organically. Riccardo Tisci came to the studio to buy some of our posters as he really liked our work. I lived near Nicolas Ghesquière before he was working at Balenciaga. A friend introduced us to Yohji Yamamoto. We met Inez and Vinoodh at an A.P.C. party in Paris and clicked straight away.
On translating an artist's message…
Mathias: We think of all of our collaborators as artists. They all have something they want to communicate visually. Each collaboration is about understanding an individual and working out how to communicate their world, in a graphic sense. The work we've done for Björk is a succession of portraits—she's a transformative character.
On their love of alphabets…
Mathias: We have always thought of our work as a series of signs and from the beginning we decided that we wanted to create our own "language" so people would immediately be able to recognize our work. Our own typefaces allow us to create our own language; each letter carries meaning. Our own alphabets form part of our collection of tools.
On their working dynamic...
Michael: Oliver Zahm came up with the perfect metaphor for our working relationship. He said one is the bone, the other is the muscle. To me, it's the most accurate description of how we work.
M to M of M/M (Paris) is published by Thames & Hudson in October. Their exhibition Carpetalogue, 1992-2012 runs at Gallery Libby Sellers from October 10–December 15, 2012.
Donna Karan on The Otherworldly Storytelling of Visionary Photographer Deborah Turbeville
Ahead of her much-anticipated exhibition Tainted Beauty at Donna Karan's London boutique, we present an exclusive portfolio from the iconic fashion and art photographer Deborah Turbeville. Classically composed, softly focused, elegant and melancholic, Turbeville's distinctive photographic tableaux present us with broken narratives. Describing herself as "avant-garde and extreme", her stories are only partly told, featuring seemingly lost characters connected to the audience through their direct yet subdued interaction with the camera's lens. Born in 1938, Turbeville is of a generation of fashion photographers, alongside Richard Avedon and Guy Bourdin, who focused on the subject in their photographs as opposed to the clothes they are wearing, and who followed their own distinct conceptual agenda, rather than that of the stylist. With her work collated together for the first time in a forthcoming monograph from Rizzoli, we discuss Turbeville's legacy with designer and Turbeville collector Donna Karan, alongside founder of The Wapping Project and curator of Tainted Beauty, Jules Wright.
What first drew you to Deborah's work?
Donna Karan: She captures the beauty and power of a woman, as only a woman can. Deborah's style is so distinctive and original, soft, yet with a strong presence.
Jules Wright: It's not obviously fashion photography. There's always a narrative in her images, a less obvious sensuality and sexuality that lies within them. It is always her models that are powerful within the image, much more so than the client.
Do you feel there is an iconic yet timeless nature to the photographs?
Donna Karan: Very much so. That's something I relate to as I've always put the woman before fashion, making her look good and feel good, rather than making a fashion statement of the moment. Like Deborah, everything I do is to capture the spirit of a woman with sensuality and sophistication.
Jules Wright: She's increasingly moved into a fine art territory. It's much more about the stories she's telling, which seems to be always about abandoned people—people who are lost, people who are dislocated.
How does her work connect with younger photographers today?
Jules Wright: They copy her like mad! Her heyday was before branding overwhelmed the images. Now you have to make sure that you don't miss out the bag, shoes or the scarf. It is about looking back to a time when the stylist didn't dominate the shoot. That's not the case anymore. I think mostly we're looking at images by stylists.
Does Deborah represent the world of Donna Karan?
Donna Karan: Deborah's style is unique and celebrated for its poetic grace. She bridges the boundaries between commercial fashion and fine art photography. The Donna Karan woman embraces her femininity with confidence. That's where her power comes from and she knows it. That's why I know my customer appreciates the intelligent beauty and grace in Turbeville's work. It's all woman.
Deborah Turbeville: Tainted Beauty opens at the Donna Karan store, 46 Conduit Street, London, on 8 September as part of Vogue's Fashion's Night Out.

The Mac and Juice Quartet won Saturday night's Last Band Standing contest, in its third year at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. Local judges voted Mac and Juice Quartet the winner over three other bands in a competition hosted by the non-profit, "Band Together."
The winning band received a cash prize as well as an opportunity to play with other national bands at Band Together's main event in May.
"Tonight was an honor to be among such great musicians – and be a part of something that is for such a great cause," said Brian "Juice" Raynor, of Mac and Juice Quartet. "We cannot wait to play at the Spring main event. It's a tremendous opportunity and a dream come true for our band. We intend to make the very most of it."
Before the music began, Brandon Kyle Knox, a vocalist of "The Deluge" said, "Whenever you get to do something that's going to benefit somebody else, it's always a good thing." Miles Andrews from "Big Fat Gap" said "It would be a great honor, a neat experience and it would be great to represent this amazing fundraising community they have here. This is pretty awesome." Eric William Hirsch with "The Beast" explained "We're ready to bring it. We made a set list that is sure to take the crowd."
The winning band was selected by a panel of four local judges: Chris Malarkey, of Lincoln Theatre; Taylor Travesari, Manager for Red Hat Amphitheater; Sara Waters, Coordinator for Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival; and Evan Frazer, Senior Director of Premium Seat Sales for Live Nation.
Most of the proceeds will go to TLC, otherwise known as the Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities and will help buy a lot of lifesaving equipment. Sarah Crawford, Director for Development at TLC, said proceeds will help "install inline oxygen, expand early childhood education, and purchase new technology for the folks that we serve in our school."

Yahoo! Unveils Interactive "The Voice Of…" Debate Dashboard
Finally, a day before the first presidential debate, Yahoo! has pulled back the curtain on the Commission on Presidential Debates' "The Voice Of…" online dashboard. It offers three options: "explore the issues," "voice your view," and "watch the debates."
Of these, obviously the second one has the potential to be the most interesting. After you sign in, you are offered the opportunity to take a short series of multiple choice questions and share where you on topics like health care, energy, regulation, education, foreign affairs, terrorism jobs, taxes and federal spending. Then the app plugs your data into a bunch of bubbles, so you can see how you compare to other participants in the aggregate. A dynamic counter also show, in total, how many people have "shared their voice."
The Evolving State of Funding in Competitive Senate and House Races
How are House and Senate candidates' war-chests faring this election cycle? The animations below show who has been pulling further ahead, and who has been closing fund-raising gaps as the races mature.
Dark Money Organizations Change Strategies to Keep Donors Secret
As Election Day approaches, two major dark money organizations have been maintaining their aggressive pace of anonymously funded election spending.
Crossroads GPS has now spent at least $108.8 million on political ads this cycle, including over $12 million dollars worth of ads so far in September. The Koch brothers-founded Americans for Prosperity has increased the pace of its spending, hitting a total of at least $65 million, with $32 million coming in the last six weeks. All of Americans for Prosperity's expenditures have been directed at President Obama, whereas Crossroads GPS has aimed over two thirds of its spending at the President and most of what remains at Democratic Senate candidates.
Super PAC's fundraising losing momentum, latest reports show
Closing in on the upcoming party conventions, super PACs appear to have lost some of their steam in attracting the big bucks. The big guns of political ad spending took in $30 million during July, reports filed this week with the Federal Election Commission show. That's $25 million less than the previous month. In all, super PACs have raised $343 million since Jan.1, 2011, the beginning of this campaign cycle.
The top donors include names now familiar as repeat super PAC underwriters, along with a few newbies. Among the eight donors who write seven-figure checks last month are three corporate donors and one left leaning nonprofit.
Two Dark Money Groups Outspending All Super PACs Combined
Two conservative nonprofits, Crossroads GPS and Americans for Prosperity, have poured almost $60 million into TV ads to influence the presidential race so far, outgunning all super PACs put together, new spending estimates show.
Political Moneyball - An interactive portrait of money in politics
To visualize the relationships among political contributions, The Wall Street Journal used social network software to map more than a million records of donor data tracked by the Federal Election Commission.
Chronicling a four-decade fight over campaign finance, and how American politics is fueled by secret spending.
For decades, the campaign finance wars have pitted two ideological foes against each other: one side clamoring to dam the flow while the other seeks to open the floodgates. The self-styled good-government types believe that unregulated political money inherently corrupts. A healthy democracy, they say, needs robust regulation—clear disclosure, tough limits on campaign spending and donations, and publicly financed presidential and congressional elections. The dean of this movement is 73-year-old Fred Wertheimer, the former president of the advocacy outfit Common Cause, who now runs the reform group Democracy 21.
On the other side are conservatives and libertarians who consider laws regulating political money an assault on free markets and free speech. They want to deregulate campaign finance—knock down spending and giving limits and roll back disclosure laws.

Tableau to the rescue! How to improve Sunlight Foundation's scatter plot showing that Congress speaks like Juveniles
This scatterplot does a few things well. First, it shows us the data. Every point is a current representative. Second, is uses color appropriately, red for Republicans, and blue for Democrats. Third, the fitted lines over grade level of speech add value. They show no correlation for the Democrats and they show a negative correlation for Republicans–that is, the grade level speech of Republicans declines as their voting record becomes more conservative. The scatterplot was made in R. A writeup on how it was made is here.
But the scatterplot also leaves some things to be desired. First off, none of the points are labeled. At the very least the outliers should have labels associated with them. We want to know, for example, who is that red dot speaking 5 grade levels above the average (it's Dan Lungren)? And who are those dots on the far left and far right of each party? Labeling specific points in R probably isn't easy. Also, it might be interesting to see if there's a relationship between grade level speech, ideology, and tenure, so the points should be sized by the number of years in Congress.

The Obama administration releases a list of visitors who pass through the White House security gate every month. The database currently has more than 2.2 million entries for the period from January 2009 through Jan. 31, 2012.
Is Congress getting dumber, or just more plainspoken?
Congress now speaks at almost a full grade level lower than it did just seven years ago, with the most conservative members of Congress speaking on average at the lowest grade level, according to a new Sunlight Foundation analysis of the Congressional Record using Capitol Words.
Of course, what some might interpret as a dumbing down of Congress, others will see as more effective communications. And lawmakers of both parties still speak over the heads of the average American, who reads at between at 8th and 9th grade level.
Today's Congress collectively speaks at a 10.6 grade level, down from 11.5 in 2005.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Used for 4 tris this season, and the shoe is true to it's description. I did have to get new insoles because of my foot mechanics, but the shoe was able to easily accommodate this change. One strap closure means I can get the shoe on and off on the bike very easily. Excellent value for price!
I got this for my daughter as her first cycling shoe. She did try them on in a store first to get the correct size, since she's never had cycling shoes before. normally she wears size 7 1/2 and a size 39 fit her well. most cycling shoes were very expensive and I didn't want to spend so much money, since I wasn't sure if she was going to be able to get used to them. This shoe is a good price and the single velcro strap is perfect for triathlons and also has a pull strap on the heel. very happy with purchase.
The shoe fits great, it is stylish and comfortable, caused no blisters at all, easy to get on and off with the one strap. No complaints, except the white gets dirty easy, but the shoe is easy to clean!

He died on Wednesday and the house
began to decompose.
The walls thinned slowly
until only the studs showed.
In ancient South Africa, bodies were buried
dug up, and placed in pottery jars like food.
This house wasn't even buried once.
This may seem a sign
the house is unloved
but it's only the culture of houses,
religion of rust, microorganisms,
being consumed by the small.
The opposite of nirvana, just as sweet.

Disaster Response
Michigan State University has, through written operational plans, adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and its primary method of operation, the Incident Command System (ICS) as the operating principal in times of emergency and disaster. ICS allows multiple and diverse responding agencies to coordinate, communicate and cooperate during a disaster response. All MSU police officers have received training in the ICS method.
Michigan State University also has established an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which is staffed by key University Administrative personnel during a disaster or major emergency. The primary purpose of the EOC operation is to provide support and direction to the response units in the field. This EOC is equipped to operate for extended periods of time and under harsh conditions. University personnel have been pre-identified and trained to full the basic functional areas of Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance. Additional units provide Communication and Policy direction.
