Recent data related to the U.S. housing market shows a steady improvement in this sector, bolstered by rising interest in homes for sale.
According to a Redfin report, home tours ticked up nearly 45 percent in March compared to the same time in 2014, while signed offers increased 35 percent year-over-year. One of the biggest hiccups at this time was actually Easter, which slowed consumer demand at the end of March as buyers prepped for the holiday.
Overall, housing-market problems were few and far between. However, one of the biggest impediments to home sales was consumer sentiment, according to Fannie Mae. Today, many potential homebuyers are worried about their household income growth.
"We've seen modest improvement in total compensation resulting from a strengthened labor market," stated Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae senior vice president and chief economist, on April 7. "However, income growth perceptions and personal financial expectations both eased off of recent highs, consistent with Friday's weak jobs report."
The government-sponsored enterprise reported that only 41 percent of those polled in its National Housing Survey expect their personal financial situations to improve over the coming 12 months.
While residential financing rates remain low, consumer sentiment will remain a key factor behind a stronger housing market in 2015.

Failure to gag Private Eye clears the way to publication of rulings against lawyers
Thousands of disciplinary rulings against lawyers accused of misconduct can be publicised after one of Britain's leading solicitors lost a battle in the Court of Appeal to keep his own case under wraps.
Lawyers for Michael Napier, former President of the Law Society, went to court to seek an injunction to stop Private Eye from publishing identifying details of a complaint against him. But on Tuesday the Court of Appeal backed an earlier ruling by Mr Justice Eady in the High Court and refused to grant the banning order.
The ruling also clears the way for thousands of other cases each year against solicitors and barristers to be publicised, as well as findings by the legal ombudsmen who act as a last "court" of appeal.

Toys "R" Us filed for bankruptcy today. Reading that news made me think of a particular song that was common during my childhood. This Toys "R" Us ad from 1982 features among others a pre-Urkel Jaleel White. And the followup has those same actors (minus Jaleel White) 14 years later.

Leica reported to be planning mirrorless interchangeable lens camera
Leica's CEO is reported to have confirmed the company will introduce a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. The British Journal of Photography (BJP) quotes Alfred Schopf as saying: "It's more than an idea. You will see something at the next Photokina [trade show]." He also told them that it will use an: "APS-C sized sensor at least." The move would see the German company (which already makes the fixed-lens APS-C-sensor X1 model, pictured) join Panasonic, Olympus, Sony and Samsung in the large-sensor mirrorless market - the fastest growing camera segment in most countries. (From BJP)
Good news
If this thing is reasonably priced it might be worth checking out. So far I haven't been too impressed with many of the 4/3-mirrorless cameras. That's not to say they are bad cameras, just not something for me. The issue with Leica coming out with a camera in this area of competition is that little red dot you pay for. If this is priced $1500 USD or over I would much rather just get the fixed focal length on the x100 and just use that as my quick, semi-small camera. It's a huge bonus that the x100 is a rangefinder too, if this new Leica doesn't have a viewfinder built on to it and it's still priced over $1500 with an extra $200 for a hotshoe VF... NO THANKS. Leica makes great cameras but they are tough to sell to people that aren't just loaded with cash.
Could we see a possible future in this for our beloved R lenses? Probably not...but its fun to specualte.
It seems to me another example when Leica missed the boat and arrived late. It should have been Leica to be the first FF camera. Kodak had the sensor and instead of fooling around with Fiuji as it later did with Panasonic where identical product came out only branded Leica and with a higher price tag, Leica could have been there at the start. I realize the the company was on the ropes at that time but it was a moment lost forever. The M-8 was a failure nd the M-9 it too pricey and although a great camera it's outside the budgets of many. It is also in a precarious marketing place. It Voigtlander comes out with a true RF like it tried before under the Epson brand but with more up to date features and with FF, it could relegate Leica back to the "collector's" camera category where it was for many years. It's too bad.
Once upon a time there were no mirrors.People never complained about other than the pinch of price tag, because they had mirrors at home but not in their cameras. Leading brands are again thinking in the retro ways. Very soon (may be in another decade) the mirrors and the DSLRs will be the part of antique items.We will have cameras with silent movements.But do not put everything on tauch screen. Please keep spme knobs and buttons to fiddle with and a true voew finder a la Fujifilm FinePix X100. We want to see the real world not through the looking glass of Alice (LCD).
Sweet... It'll only be the sold at the competitive price of $5000 or so...
put an EVF in the M9 (M10?). see through the lens.
add some zooms lens in M mount.
What they now call "mirrorless" will be the wave the future... The "shutter flapping and mirror flapping" will go away, sooner or later, hopefully sooner. These electronic LCD viewfinders, EVF, have such high resolution... Like upwards of a million pixels in a 20mm mini LCD screen... The real advantage is in low light... Where traditional pent-prism viewfinders, you cannot really see well... But with a modern EVF the seen appears illuminated due to the camera's ability to auto-expose the proposed image... If anyone has seen SONY's EX-3 video camera... Albeit a video camera,,, the viewfinder is totally amazing... Hopefully the pro DSLR will adopt some of the features of today's digital video cameras... JimW.
It only make sense if it's a rangefinder camera with manual control lenses. Leica is not a world electronic leader such as Panasonic, Sony nor Samsung. So Leica could hardly compete with M43, Nex or Nx and their electronical performances and gimmicks. On the other hand, beetween the FF M9 and the rather awkward association of m43/Nex/Nx with manual control lenses (especially M mount), there is a plain market to satisfy _ the Fuji X100 proves it. With the choice of a smaller sensor (M8 was an APS-H), Leica protects its M serie from cannibalization and can make even smaller camera. The big drawback is the cost of production and hence how to sell a cheaper camera that will not impact too negatively the reputation of Leica. Nowadays, real Leica products are handcrafted. It's time to move to a more industrial and robotized process.
I hope it has at least a good EVF otherwise it's useless for me.
i hope that people gonna sell their M8 and M8.2 because of that news, and prices drop to around 1k€
also i do hope that the x100 was just a test for leica and fuji to announce there partnership.
i am waiting for a ricoh 645d module for the gxr
and i hope there will be a weathersealed M10 this fall with lifeview and iso 12800 so that rich guys sell their M9 hehe
we reached the point where i will stop buying new cameras and only buy used, like in analog times
Perhaps a rebranded Sony this time?
I can't afford one. I mean, I have the money, but I can't justify the price tag because I'm not a pro photographer.
So, give me a full-frame X2, with 50 f/1.4, for $2k. Thank you.
I agree Leica is in a very weird spot now.
Photojournalists used to prefer Leica because of its film load, that even if the camera was badly damaged, the shots in film would not be exposed. That advantage exists in all digital cameras. MP might still have a slight advantage in that it is less likely to fail than digital, if abused. But Pros always carry backups anyways.
Leica is now sort of desired for their attention to detail in addressing the need of photographers, in design and engineering. But, other manufacturers' method of pumping out newer versions often to let their so-so designs evolve, seems to work very well too.
So, Leica is now priced for pros ( meaning, people who are ok with those price points, due to revenue they can earn from using the tools ), but is more likely to end up being desired by consumers.
I think there would be a big demand for a new M mount body from Leica with a sensor no smaller than APS-C. I wonder if Leica are seeing that there is demand for a new lower cost camera because of the Sony NEX and the upcoming Ricoh GXR modules. I can't imagine Leica would introduce a new lens mount for this camera. They did produce a second body in the form of the CL some years ago that was a great success and a nice camera (I still have one producing great photos). I would hope they will also continue with the rangefinder format. Surely this body is going to come in at something between US$2,500 - US$3,000.
Obviously they forget on the M9 system ??
And Ricoh, don't forget to mention that the GXR is also an APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.
1) Will I need a mortgage to buy it?
2) Isn't an M9 a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera already?
Where is Nikon in this rush to tap a new marketplace??
Well, I would guess that body will cost at least as much as the X1 and than you add the lenses. Say $3000 - $4000 for body plus 35/2.0. Just a wild guess of mine of course.
I do not expect to see lenses faster than f/2.0 (not that I would need faster anyway) - the M9 will be left to keep the advantage in that regards I guess.
I am really curios to say at least.
Hmmmm.... the price ?
Wondering why Sigma is not mentioned as a maker of mirrorless cameras with large sensors ?
I am in if a viewfinder of some kind would be included.
Sorry if this is a repeat.
I guess yes, however, not large-sensor-mirrorless.
Since the talk was about large- sensor- mirrorless. :-)
Well then Casio to my knowledge does not include in its line up large-sensor models, hence not included.
Was no mention of system mirrorless. :-)
Thanks for this in any case. Keep cool and kind regards.
i would like a cambody that shifts the lensmount for autofocus. that could perfectly work with m-lenses, but i guess even the smallest lens is to heavy for that ..
It would be a bit reminiscent of the Contax AX, a 35mm SLR from the mid-1990s that moved the film plane back and forth in order to autofocus the (generally superb) Contax / Zeiss manual focus range. That would be clever, especially if it could be combined with the sensor cleaning mechanism.
I thought Leica is the leading brand for mirror less cameras in the last many many years including both film and digital. M-system AFAIK lack mirror.
Err, doesn't Leica already have a "mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system" for the last 100 years?
Don't be surprised to see Fuji associated with Leica system somewhere along the line, Fuji's industrial might would be a fine association for camera sensor and lens manufacturing.
A format between aps-c and full frame makes a lot of sense especially with Fuji's announced plans to take on Nikon for market share, something Leica would be keen to capitalize on.
Fuji has shown Leica what the x1 should have been by producing the x100, that would certainly not have gone unnoticed by Leica. Both parties would bring a lot to the market in a new venture. Time will tell.
Didn't see your earlier post Vadimka, better thought through and articulated than mine – Leica and Fuji would be an exciting pairing, one that would see some real movement in the market with new and exciting quality products. :D
Yes, it will be pretty exciting. Especially if they make some nice improvements to the EVF.
Some people mentioned NEX collaboration, but I don't see it happening. Sony E-mount was built with Pro Video in mind more that a photography. Thats why their NEX cameras look so awkward. You can slap a monster lens on a Cine camera and it will be fine, but its different in photography. I think Sony shot themself in a foot with such a small flange of only 18mm, which means they will have to make another system pretty soon to go FF with decent sized lenses.
The appeal of Leica to me is the very high quality of their lenses. If the new lenses are not made by Leica and to the same quality as their M-series lenses then I see little point in buying the proposed new camera.
This was reported weeks ago by the British Journal of Photography. If it doesn't have a viewfinder it's a non-starter and, if it does, it will directly compete with their super expensive M Series. One way or another, Leica is going to misstep on this one
How about a body where the sensor moved to focus, leaving the lens in a fixed position? With various adapters you could use Leica R, Leica M, and other brand lenses. You would set the f-stop on the lens and focus in "stopped down" mode, but the image would be bright on a electronic viewfinder.
for 50mm focal length, and that's moderate telephoto for NEX, you only need to move sensor by a few millimeters. That's not much.
And having movable sensor doesn't mean lens cannot have a focusing system (in that case, only telephoto lens would have it, and normal and wideangle wouldn't)
Here is what I'm talking about (from wiki camera lens):
"To improve performance, some lenses have a cam system that adjusts the distance between the groups as the lens is focused. Manufacturers call this different things. Nikon calls it CRC (close range correction), while Hasselblad and Mamiya call it FLE (floating lens element).[1]"
I would be very surprized if it is a new lensline. I don't think they do have the capacity do produce a new lens line by Leica Germany. The introduction of the S2 line and lack of capacity for 3 lines (S2, M, R) was the reason for discontinuing the R Series. This was mentioned in one of the Leica product management interview movies on luminous landscapes.
Something outsourced to Panasonic like Zeiss does it with Cosina might be more likely. But than I would rather prefer a Sony NEX with an adapted original Leica M lens.
That's a good point. A new lens line means it takes a long time until the whole system of camera+lenses is ready for real use.
I expect them to be backwards compatible with M lenses by doing image plane focusing in camera (like the Contax AX). That way you can autofocus with M lenses!
From a systems perspective, they would also create lenses that only work on the new camera. These lenses will be cheaper, since image plane focusing means fewer moving parts in the lens.
IPF would also bring the total weight of the system down, compared with systems that have focusing motors in every lens.
Cheeper, lighter, and autofocus. What's not to like.
Mirrorless is a good start. Now if they can also eliminate the heavy shutter with the 'thunk' that Panasonic uses, I'm interested.
i hope Leica means *autofocus* mirrorless. arent the M8/M9 already manual-focus mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras ?
something along the lines of an AF version of M-mount, with backward compatibility with old M manual lenses.
the errors one gets from doing MF wrong is far worse than the gains using Leica glass.
i guess they will make an x2 with a new lensmount like microM together with a few AF lenses (like 20 35 50) and the possibility to use an m-mount adapter together with a clip-on evf
and i REALLY hope it looks like an leica 1f
today i will start to make a fake 3d prototype of what i like to have, and then spread on the net hehe
Leica likely will enter m4/3 mount due to their ties with the system (Panasonic makes Leica-branded lenses for m4/3) - if not than perhaps they will try to use one of their already existing mounts. Otherwise there have been some rumors about Leica using Sony E mount but that's as much possible as creation of entirely new mount by them.
No - the GF3 is a m43. The guy from Leica says it is APS-C at least.
@John - the M cameras are range finders. And they actually have a mirror in the range finder mechanism.
What is called "mirror less" cameras are in reality EVF (electronic view finder) cameras, where you either use the big LCD on the backside or a dedicated electronic finder.
Oops! Make that the M8.2.
Someone in the PR dept at Leica must be new. They already have this camera in production. It's called the M9.
So Leica plans to release a Panasonic GF3 with a red dot on it?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have two big contenders for the Mirrorless World Championship Title ... On the left hand corner you the age-old legend, Leica, and on the right hand corner, you have the new history-making star, Fuji!

It's been a bad year for Carmelo Anthony. The NBA all-star won't see a championship ring, is facing trade talks from Knicks boss Phil Jackson and, now, might be looking at the end of his marriage to wife La La Anthony.
According to TMZ, the couple have separated after more than 13 years together. Reports say the disastrous NBA season for Melo was a big factor in the split. "The current NBA season has been extremely stressful on the marriage for several months," a source tells the site, adding that La La has moved out of the family home into her own NYC pad, but that the parents to 10-year-old Kiyan are keeping things very amicable.
Sounds like a lot is changing in Melo's life these days, with his future as a Knick highly uncertain. Team president Phil Jackson even said publicly in recent weeks that Melo might benefit from a "change of scenery" and might be "better off somewhere else." Harsh.
Melo and La got engaged in 2004 and tied the knot in 2010. They welcomed their son in 2007.

Shortages of public health workers poses risk
Thursday, 15 January 2004
Shortages of public health workers poses risk to health gains Shortages of public health workers such as health protection officers, health promoters and public health physicians pose a risk to New Zealand making significant improvements in health, according to the Public Health Association.
Association spokesperson Dr Fran McGrath says there is concern about the exodus of GPs and hospital doctors seeking better conditions overseas but training and retention of public health workers is also failing to keep pace with the numbers needed for public health and for the new Primary Health Organisations.
"The success of the new PHOs is reliant on New Zealand having enough public health workers skilled in looking at what is needed in each community. These workers must be able to assess needs and engage with communities and local health professionals so PHOs can make a real difference for everyone, particularly for Maori, Pacific peoples and people on low incomes."
Shortages are also important because health protection officers and environmental health officers perform essential roles such as carrying our border surveillance for insect pests, infectious diseases, and pollution control, Dr McGath says. She points out the report The New Zealand Health Workforce says the New Zealand health system will be vulnerable, especially if it neglects specialist public health workers.
"New Zealand has not invested enough in public health to meet the challenges facing the health system. For example we have steady increases in admissions to hospital that could be prevented by effective primary health and public health initiatives."
Shortages of Maori health protection officers are particularly acute although efforts are being made to address this across the country, Dr McGrath says. She congratulates Waikato DHB for the Maori health protection scholarship they are offering, and says New Zealand needs to multiple those sorts of creative approaches.
The Public Health Association says workforce planning should be planned nationally and implemented regionally so the new primary health organization and DHBs can effectively implement the Government's Primary Health Care Strategy.

Ear pain and pressure almost gone
I took this as I had ear pain and pressure for almost 6 months. We live in a humid climate with pollen and mold. I have tried all types of decongestants, anti-histamines, allergy pills, etc and this is the only thing that works. I'd rate it a 100 stars if I could.

Radio Logic,
P. 0. Box 9665, New Haven, CT 06536 (203)624-8113
Mr. Murray Barlowe,
(516) 731-7628
Dear Murray,
Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
employs high frequency radio transmitters, receivers, and computer science techniques to generate images or chemical spectra of organic materials. NMRIMRI techniques use methods developed between 1930 and 1945 for military RADAR. RADAR and
NMR/MRI both use Transmit/Receive circuits, state of the art receiver sensitivity, and good antenna (probe) design.
NMR/MRI applications
using radio frequency methods have not received much
attention in the amateur radio publications (Ham Radio, QST, CQ , and 73) since these publications are concerned with radio communications as an end use of RF techniques. There are a whole score of "non-communications" usage of RF techniques and
NMR/MRI would be one such use. You can "listen" to the radio signals produced by the nucleus of the hydrogen atom by exciting these photons to transmit, and make an image by reconstructing the matrix of protons. The technical challenge of building a system to do this might seem worth while to experienced amateurs.
The transmitter
modulation required for selective excitation of a group of protons
can be accomplished by using techniques similar to the early days of single sideband
modulation, using phasing (audio multiplication by RF) techniques. The Science Workshop "Poor Man's Spectrum Analyzer" provides a useful instrument to adjust the required circuits to assure a correctly aligned phasing-type SSB transmitter. No, the protons do not mail QSL cards, but the thrill of capturing a Free Induction Decay might serve as a substitute. All that is required is lots of patience and visits to flea markets, a few books on the subject, a large magnet, and determination.
I have been building
simple NMR systems since 1957, first using the earth's
magnetic field as a free proton magnet source. Since 1982 I have been a part of the technical support team at Yale's NMWMRI instrument group, certainly the most enjoyable time I have had using short wave techniques since getting my original ticket in 1938 (WSIMB).
I am unaware
of any amateur magnetic resonance interest or support group at
this time, but this would be a way of developing and sharing techniques and problems.

ALL will finally be revealed with the anticipated NSW budget to be released at 12pm today.
Big funding announcements have become a regular occurrence in recent weeks with big commitments to palliative care, mental health, infrastructure and regional water.
- Kevin Anderson's wishlist for Tamworth in 2016/2017 NSW Budget
- Adam Marshall's wishlist for Armidale in 2016/2017 NSW Budget
Deputy premier John Barilaro's said the budget would result in a turbo-charged regional NSW, while a number of local councils are still banking on funding announcements to get projects off the ground.
- Werris Creek water treatment plant funding expected in NSW budget
- Tamworth Regional Council banking on intermodal hub budget announcement
While it is probably too late to get your budgets wishes heard, it isn't too late for you to have your say in The Leader's online poll.

I just returned from a 7 Day Carribean Cruise and I am at work on a National Holiday. Here I am working to pay the Government workers to get a day off. Shouldn't it be more like all Government workers should have to work while the rest of us taxpayers get a day off with pay? I mean in order to accomplish anything government related, we have to take a day off from work to get it done. Stand in line at the DMV, go to a court hearing, file some random red tape with some frivolous agency. If the government workers had to work on those days and we didn't, we could get all that stupid stuff done on our day off! I guess the saddest part is that I just realized this today.

This is an individual format not a group
format assignment.
Marking Brochures
Brochure Checklist
1. It is a
criterion-referenced assessment this year using the categories:
Incomplete, Complete, and Outstanding. There is
formal rubric given although a
is available on the website
for those who want to research the
issue in more detail. A "Complete" rating assures a mark in the B range
2. The norm-referenced
approach in the Test format assures that the Brochure assignment parallels the test-based alternative that some choose. (The test is
designed to generate a norm-referenced mean at a B level.) The Brochure
mean should be at the B level as well.

Make the Censors Watch 'Paint Drying' by Charlie Lyne — Kickstarter
The British Board of Film Certification (previously known as the British Board of Film Censors) was established in 1912 to ensure films remained free of 'indecorous dancing', 'references to controversial politics' and 'men and women in bed together', amongst other perceived indiscretions.
Today, it continues to censor and in some cases ban films, while UK law ensures that, in effect, a film cannot be released in British cinemas without a BBFC certificate.
Each certificate costs around £1000 for a feature film of average length. For many independent filmmakers, such a large upfront can prove prohibitively expensive.

InXile has released a screenshot of Wasteland 2. Our first taste of what the game will look like features a band of characters facing a Scorpitron in the upper right of the screen.
I encountered this on the Commodore 64 eons ago and the ensuing battle reduced my characters to a thin red paste.
One lonely screenshot is just a sickly little bite of what's to come. It looks just like I imagined it would with an isometric view, gutted cars and repurposed buildings and shacks. I have hopes of a completely interactive environment where you can climb up on the gas station roof for a better shot or blow up a wall or car that an enemy is using for cover. We'll have to wait and see, but unfortunately it's going to be a long wait. Last I heard, it's not coming out until late 2013.

Power requirement of Screw Conveyors:
The driving power of the loaded screw conveyor is given by:
P = PH + PN + Pst
PH = Power necessary for the progress of the material
PN = Driving power of the screw conveyor at no load
Pst = Power requirement for the inclination of the conveyor
Power necessary for the progress of the material PH:
For a length L of the screw conveyor (feeder), the power PH in kilo watts is the product of the mass flow rate of the material by the length L and an artificial friction coefficient λ, also called the progress resistance coefficient.
PH = Im.L. λ.g / 3600 (kilowatt)
= Im.L. λ / 367 (kilowatt)
Im = Mass flow rate in t/hr
λ = Progress resistance coefficient
Each material has its own coefficient λ. It is generally of the order of 2 to 4. For materials like rock salt etc, the mean value of λ is 2.5. For gypsum, lumpy or dry fine clay, foundry sand, cement, ash, lime, large grain ordinary sand, the mean value of λ is 4.0.
In this connection it should be noted that the sliding of the material particles against each other gives rise to internal friction. Other resistance due to grading or shape of the output discharge pattern contributes to the resistance factor. That is why the parameter λ is always higher than that due to pure friction.
Drive power of the screw conveyor at no load, PN:
This power requirement is very low and is proportional to the nominal diameter and length of the screw.
PN = D.L / 20 (Kilowatt)
D = Nominal diameter of screw in meter
L = Length of screw conveyor in meter
Power due to inclination: Pst
This power requirement will be the product of the mass flow rate by the height H and the acceleration due to gravity g.
Pst = Im.H.g / 3600
= Im.H / 367
H should be taken positive for ascending screws and will be negative for descending screws.
Total power requirement:
The total power requirement is the sum total of the above items
P = (Im (λ.L + H) / 367) + (D.L /20) (Kilowatt)

[289] flank, when the rebels came out of Macon and attacked Wolcott in position, but were handsomely repulsed, and driven back with a loss of six hundred men.1 Meanwhile Howard continued his movement along the Savannah railroad, tearing up the rails and destroying the iron. At the Oconee river a slight resistance was offered, but a pontoon bridge was quickly laid, and the right wing crossed. On the 23rd, the next stage of the march was ordered. Howard was to move by roads south of the Savannah railroad, and the left wing to Sandersville, while the cavalry was directed to make a circuit to the north and march rapidly for Millen, a hundred miles away, and rescue the national prisoners confined there. The rebel cavalry, under Wheeler, had now moved around to Sherman's front, and Hardee was in command of about ten thousand irregular infantry, to oppose the national army. There was, however, nothing but skirmishing, except in Kilpatrick's front. A brigade of rebel horse was deployed in front of Sandersville, but was driven in by the skirmish line of the Twentieth corps. At this place the enemy themselves set fire to stacks of fodder standing in the fields, and Sherman at once made known to the citizens that any attempt to burn food or fodder on his route would ensure a complete devastation of the country. This had the desired effect, and the destruction of food along the road by rebels ceased, The two wings marched on, tearing up the railroads and feeding on the fatness of the land. Meanwhile, Kilpatrick was moving rapidly towards

Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond major requirements within the BBA degree program department, you may consider Marymount University directory as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Technically speaking, the postseason doesn't count for fantasy baseball purposes. But ,whoever says that fantasy owners should completely ignore postseason stats is sorely mistaken. In fact, many fantasy owners might overrate a player coming off a strong postseason due to recency bias. So, in the coming months, it's important to identify these guys and decide whether or not you will be willing to pay the increased price come draft day. Let's take a look at five players who deserve our immediate attention.
Didi Gregorius - As if Gregorius' .287-25-87 line in just 136 games this season wasn't impressive enough, "Sir Didi" has further enhanced his 2018 fantasy appeal by launching three homers to go along with six RBI through seven postseason contests. This includes his two home runs in Game 5 against the Indians, both versus AL Cy Young favorite Corey Kluber. At this point, Gregorius, who has now posted back-to-back 20-plus home run campaigns and will be only 28 on Opening Day, needs to be taken seriously as a top-10 fantasy shortstop.
Greg Bird - Injuries have obviously been the major issue for Bird throughout his young big league career. But after smacking six home runs while collecting 16 RBI in September, the Yankees first sacker has played a vital role in the club's October surge, tallying three more homers, five RBI and four runs scored and posting a .400 OBP through seven games. Bird will be a hot fantasy commodity as he enters his age-25 season, and he clearly carries plenty of upside. Still, considering his injury history and a first base position that is well-stocked with quality offensive producers, I'm not so sure that reaching for Bird is a good idea, at least in non-keeper formats.
Michael Taylor - Who saw that coming? Taylor's five-game postseason sample included two home runs, eight RBI and a .333 batting average. The 26-year-old surfaced on the mixed league radar in May following Adam Eaton's season-ending knee injury and maintained mixed league value throughout, finishing with 19 home runs and 17 steals. Taylor certainly performed well enough to earn a starting job to begin 2018, and the likely departure of impending free agent Jayson Werth would conceivably open a spot for Taylor. But the Nationals might turn to the free agent market to address that void. For the time being, Taylor's fantasy outlook for next season is very much up in the air.
Dallas Keuchel - Despite being limited to 23 starts due to injury, Keuchel enjoyed a stellar bounceback campaign this season, notching 14 wins while pitching to a 2.90 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Although his modest strikeout rate separates him from fantasy ace status, the Astros southpaw is a fine second or third starter in 12-team mixed leagues, health permitting. The problem is that Keuchel's ace-level postseason performance (2-0, 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 12.1 K/9 in two starts) might elevate his draft price to that of a true ace, so beware.
Masahiro Tanaka - I've consistently stayed away from Tanaka in fantasy drafts, and I'll continue to stay away from him until he undergoes the inevitable Tommy John surgery. Do note, however, that aside from his mediocre 4.74 ERA, Tanaka registered a 1.24 WHIP and 194 strikeouts across 178 1/3 innings, so despite his start-to-start inconsistency, he wasn't a complete waste of a pick. Also keep in mind that the Yankees righty recorded a solid 3.77 ERA in the second half. The owner of a 1.38 ERA and a 0.69 WHIP through two postseason outings, Tanaka has certainly raised his fantasy appeal over the past few months. Although I'll avoid him once again next spring, it would be a lie to say that I won't be at least mildly tempted.
Zach Steinhorn is the 2016 Mixed Auction Tout Wars champion. Follow him on Twitter @ZachMLB
Thanks to a pair of rocky pitching performances by Gio Gonzalez and Cole Hamels on the final day of the season, my 2017 Mixed Auction Tout Wars squad, which seemed destined to finish in second place, barely hung onto third. It was a disappointing ending to what was on the whole a successful season, my fourth straight top-4 finish, including last year's championship run. And hey, it's not like first place was up for grabs.
Jeff Zimmerman pretty much clinched the title by early-July. Looking back, there are some decisions that I regret, but a lot went right. My draft was strong and my newfound willingness to make significant trades to shake up my roster had an overall positive effect. When Aroldis Chapman got injured and Francisco Rodriguez lost his closer job, I decisively made the uncomfortable decision to punt saves, waiting for Chapman to return before swapping him along with Justin Upton for Charlie Blackmon and Jonathan Villar. Although the Villar experiment turned out to be a disaster, the complete trade netted me 2.5 points in the final standings. Yes, I did figure this out, purely out of curiosity.
Anyway, before I stop analyzing my Tout Wars season (or at least try to stop analyzing it), here are the highlights.
Best auction purchase: Marcell Ozuna ($10)
Was Ozuna on my draft day target list? Yes. Did I expect him to post career-best numbers in 2017? Yes. But I was thinking more like 28 homers, 90 RBIs and a .330 OBP, not 37 homers, 124 RBIs and a .376 OBP. Now that's ten bucks well spent. Keep in mind that Ozuna is still just 26, so there's room for further improvement. Scary indeed. Mike Moustakas ($8) deserves an honorable mention here. Like Ozuna, Moustakas far exceeded even my own optimistic projections.
Worst auction purchase: Kevin Gausman ($9)
By now, it's hard to believe that of all my buys on that Saturday in late-March, the Gausman purchase received the most positive feedback on Twitter. But this "steal of the draft" turned out to be a season-long headache, getting roughed up on a regular basis while sprinkling in a few dominant outings just to tease his fantasy owners. To add to the misery, my prognostication accuracy when it came to Gausman was poor. The Orioles righty registered a 6.29 ERA and a 1.88 WHIP in 15 starts while in my active lineup compared to his overall 4.68 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 34 starts this season. Maybe Gausman will bounce back in 2018, but I'm done with him. And let's not forget about Matt Moore, whom I discussed in last week's column. What a waste of five dollars that was.
Best FAAB addition: Jhoulys Chacin ($18)
Chacin's extreme home/road splits made life easy when deciding whether or not to start him in any given week. I mostly followed the splits, pitching him almost exclusively at home after acquiring the Padres righty in mid-July and was rewarded with five wins, a 2.48 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP across 10 starts. A free agent this winter, Chacin would be wise to remain in San Diego.
Worst FAAB addition: Joaquin Benoit ($53)
Ah, the fun of chasing saves. Before the Chapman injury and the K-Rod demotion, I was doing all I could on the FAAB front to stumble upon a third closer. Nothing paid off. Between Benoit and Jason Grilli ($52), I got one save in exchange for more than one-tenth of my total FAAB budget. Perhaps punting saves is the way to go.
Best trade: Nomar Mazara for Elvis Andrus
Frustrated by Tim Anderson's struggles, I needed a new starting shortstop, preferably a shortstop with speed. It was early-June and Elvis Andrus had already swiped 14 bags. I could afford to deal some homers and RBIs and Mazara, with six home runs and 35 RBIs, seemed like a solid sell-high candidate. Strangely enough, Andrus would record only 11 steals in nearly four months on my roster but would hit just one fewer home run than Mazara and trail him by only 10 RBIs. In the runs scored department, Andrus topped his real-life teammate by a healthy margin. From an overall value standpoint, this trade was a win.
Worst trade: Jonathan Schoop for D.J. LeMahieu
While LeMahieu was productive for my team, I sure wish I could have this one back. At the time, in late-May, figuring that I was selling Schoop at peak value before his lack of plate discipline would lead to a prolonged cold spell, LeMahieu seemed like a great return. What followed was a three-month stretch from the beginning of June through the end of August during which Schoop launched 23 homers while tallying 76 RBIs and getting on base at well over a .360 clip. If I had not been so quick to ship off Schoop, I would have easily finished in second place.
But even more importantly, Schoop's name would have appeared in a different section of this article. At three bucks, the Orioles second baseman would have been my best auction purchase.

In last week's column, I examined some wacky preseason NFBC hitter ADP stats. So, following the same format, let's head to the mound and give the pitchers the attention they deserve.
Jon Lester SP Ranking: 9
Robbie Ray SP Ranking: 55
Coming off a Cy Young worthy campaign in 2016 and having posted an ERA no higher than 3.34 and a WHIP no greater than 1.12 from 2014-2016, Lester seemed like an ultra-safe draft day investment. But as I've learned over the years, there is really no such thing as a safe starting pitcher in fantasy baseball. Through 29 starts this season, the veteran southpaw sports a 4.30 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Not exactly what owners had in mind when they confidently selected him as their staff ace. On the other hand, Ray is enjoying a career year, highlighted by a 2.74 ERA through 25 starts to go along with a gaudy 12.3 K/9 rate.
Masahiro Tanaka SP Ranking: 18
Luis Severino SP Ranking: 99
This tale of two Yankees is an intriguing one indeed as Tanaka, the club's Opening Day starter, has been inconsistent all season, pitching to a 4.73 ERA through 28 starts. Meanwhile, Severino, who wasn't even assured a rotation spot heading into Spring Training, has assumed the ace roll in his first full big league season. Listen, it's only a matter of time before Tanaka undergoes Tommy John surgery. Until that happens, he will be nowhere near any of my fantasy rosters. Congrats to those of you who drafted Severino in a keeper league.
Julio Teheran SP Ranking: 25
Gio Gonzalez SP Ranking: 77
The owner of a 3.31 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP since the beginning of August, Teheran is doing his best to salvage what has been a lost season. But the damage is already done. Still, don't give up on this guy. He will only be 27 on Opening Day 2018 and has already built a solid enough track record to suggest that a bounce back is likely. He might have been a little overvalued this year. but will surely be undervalued next year. The case of Gonzalez is the exact opposite. I've always been a fan of Gio, and for the bargain price of two bucks, he's turned out to be one of my better purchases in Mixed Auction Tout Wars. But a 2.68 ERA through 29 starts? Who could have expected that from a pitcher who prior to 2017 seemed to be on the decline? It would be a mistake to pay list price for Gonzalez next spring.
Rick Porcello SP Ranking: 28
Ervin Santana SP Ranking: 87
One season removed from a Cy Young award, Porcello has returned to his old form, best described as mediocre. At this point, he barely deserves a mixed league roster spot. The Red Sox righty is not someone I'll be targeting next season. Few owners were targeting Santana this season, but the 34-year-old continues to exceed expectations, delivering mid-rotation production at a fraction of the cost. One auction dollar was all it took to add Erv to my Tout Wars staff, and I'll continue to draft him as long as my league mates continue to undervalue him.
Francisco Rodriguez RP Ranking: 18
Greg Holland RP Ranking: 33
For years, we all waited for K-Rod to collapse, but it never happened. At least not until this year, and the breakdown was ugly. Rodriguez was bounced from the Tigers' closer role by early-May and jettisoned from the Tigers team by late-June. He was then released by the Nationals in mid-July after signing a minor league deal a few weeks earlier. His big league career is probably over. Holland missed the entire 2016 season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery and did not enter 2017 as Colorado's clear-cut closer, so he wasn't even drafted in many mixed leagues. But despite a rocky (no pun intended) month of August (9 1/3 IP, 14 ER), Holland is once again performing at an elite level. Top-10 stopper entering 2018? Absolutely.

The break will begin on Monday morning, or maybe Tuesday in the unlikely event of a tiebreaker game. The break will be refreshing. No more box score tracking, no more FAAB bidding, no more lineup setting, no more trade talking and no more fantasy baseball thinking. The break will last at least a month, maybe six weeks until early mock draft season gets underway. But every year, before this break, I make a list. No, it won't be a list of players I will target in drafts the following spring. That list requires a great deal of thought and will have to wait until February. This list is easier. This list is a list of players who I owned in at least one league but will not be drafting again under any circumstances. Well, maybe under almost any circumstances. And it's important that I compile this list as soon as possible, before a long off-season causes me to forget about how frustrating it was to own some of these guys.
On that note, let's take a look at a handful of players who I have already included on this list.
Chris Archer - I'm not saying that Archer isn't a valuable fantasy asset. After all, he's proven to be very durable and provides a guaranteed 225-plus strikeouts as long as he remains durable. The problem is that he carries the price tag of a legitimate ace when in reality he's more like a strong SP2 in mixed leagues. I shelled out 26 bucks for Archer's services in Mixed Auction Tout Wars, believing that 2017 would be the year that the Rays righty makes the jump to top-10 SP status, at the very least. In return, I've been rewarded with a mediocre 4.18 ERA through 33 starts and a disastrous month of September (9.72 ERA, 2.10 WHIP in five starts). There was another $26 starting pitcher. His name is Corey Kluber, and it's no coincidence that he resides on runaway champ Jeff Zimmerman's roster. Oh well, at least I've learned my lesson with Archer.
Cole Hamels - There's something to be said about saying goodbye to a player a year too early rather than a year too late. I remember Lord Zola stating this in his preseason player profile for Hamels, and I really should have followed that approach. But Hamels has been so consistent over the years that I felt good about making him my No. 2 starter in Mixed Auction Tout Wars. Things haven't gone as planned, to put it mildly. Between an oblique strain that sidelined him for nearly two months, a drastically declining strikeout rate and overall inconsistency, I've already said my final goodbye to the veteran southpaw.
Matt Moore - At this point, it's hard to believe that just six months ago, Moore was a popular "sleeper" pick after posting a 3.63 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in 15 starts following the All-Star break in 2016. In fact, I considered the 28-year-old lefty to be one of my better Tout Wars buys at the bargain price of $5. As it turns out, I could have simply left those five bucks at the auction table and I'd be better off. The fact that Moore's 4.86 ERA and 1.33 WHIP since the All-Star break represents a significant improvement over his first half performance (6.04 ERA, 1.69 WHIP) goes to show the degree to which he has struggled in his first full season with the Giants. Maybe a true breakout campaign is still in store for Moore, but if and when it does come, he won't be on any of my fantasy squads.
Matt Wieters - Here I was thinking that Wieters was a safe choice to finish the season as a top-12 fantasy catcher. A final line of 20 homers and 65-70 RBIs seemed like a reasonable expectation. Not quite. The former top prospect has been one of the biggest backstop disappointments of 2017, batting a paltry .225 with just 10 homers heading into the final weekend. Remember when some scouts described him as "Joe Mauer with power"? Now that was a long time ago. As for 2018, Wieters is no more than a No. 2 catcher in mixed leagues.
Ben Zobrist - In recent years, I've never been a fan of Zobrist from a fantasy perspective, especially in non-OBP leagues. His 20-HR seasons appeared to be over and he wasn't running much anymore. But, when I waited a bit too long to draft a second baseman in my NFBC Draft Champions league, I figured that Zobrist, who was coming off a productive 2016 campaign, was worth the mid-round investment. I figured wrong. What followed was one of the worst seasons of Zobrist's career, one that even included a DL stint. At 36 years of age, he's barely on the mixed league radar for next season. Draft him only as a last resort.

The baseball season is long. The baseball season is so long that by September, I can no longer remember most of the preseason consensus fantasy rankings. You might say that rankings from six months ago no longer matter at all, and you might be right. But, every September, I do spend a bit of time reviewing preseason rankings, mainly NFBC ADP data. Why? Maybe I just need to remind myself how much can change in one season.
On that note, let's travel around the diamond and look at some NFBC ADP numbers that are strange indeed.
Jonathan Lucroy C Ranking: 3
Mike Zunino C Ranking: 18
It was only a year ago that Lucroy posted a .292-24-81 line over 142 games in a season split between the Brewers and the Rangers. But, in a 2017 campaign split between the Rangers and the Rockies, the veteran backstop has produced a mediocre .251 batting average with five homers and 35 RBI through 105 games. This is surprising to say the least, as Lucroy has been one of the more consistent offensive performers at the catcher position for awhile now, so I'd be willing to take a chance on him next year at a discounted price. An impending free agent, Lucroy could be amenable to signing a one-year deal in hopes of rebuilding his market value, so he could have extra motivation to bounce back. Meanwhile, Zunino, a former top prospect, is enjoying his finest season to date, though his high strikeout rate limits his ability to hit for a decent average.
Miguel Cabrera 1B Ranking: 3
Ryan Zimmerman 1B Ranking: 39
Well, it all finally came crashing down for Cabrera this year, as the former MVP is on pace to finish the season with career-lows across the board, and he has now become a health risk. Don't get caught up in name value. He's someone to avoid in drafts next spring. Zimmerman could be on the verge of setting new single-season highs in home runs and RBI, which means that fantasy owners will probably need to spend a top-60 pick to secure his services for 2018. No thanks.
Jonathan Villar 2B Ranking: 4
Jonathan Schoop 2B Ranking: 20
I never quite understood why Villar was being valued so highly based on one great season. I get that steals are scarce these days, but even top-40 seemed like a stretch. The funny thing is that I actually own Villar in two leagues. One of those leagues is a keeper league where I was able to keep him for a 15th round pick while the other is Mixed Auction Tout Wars, where I traded for him at a steep discount. Let's just say that he won't be residing on any of my rosters next season. As for Schoop, the Orioles second sacker entered this season with plenty of critics who questioned whether he could ever improve his plate discipline. How does a .350 OBP sound? And then there's the 31 homers and 102 RBI through 139 games. Still just 25 years of age, Schoop has officially arrived as a fantasy force.
Tim Anderson SS Ranking: 16
Elvis Andrus SS Ranking: 17
This comparison carries special meaning for me, as I began my Tout Wars season with Anderson as my starting shortstop only to lose patience with him by early-June and trade for Andrus to serve as his replacement. The swap did come at the expense of Nomar Mazara, but good thing I made that move, as Anderson never quite got his act together while Andrus has already clinched his first 20/20 season.
Todd Frazier 3B Ranking: 9
Jake Lamb 3B Ranking: 20
Frazier, who is coming off a 40-HR campaign, will need to go on a monumental power tear (seven homers in a little over three weeks) to reach the 30-HR plateau this season, and his batting average has declined steadily over the past few years. Maybe he can rebound in 2018, but I'll be looking elsewhere to address power. Lamb has followed up an impressive breakout season in 2016 with an even more impressive 2017 campaign, though his .215 average since the All-Star break is somewhat troubling. Consider him a quality mid-round selection next year, but I'd be hesitant to pay list price for him, which means that I probably won't be a Lamb owner in 2018.
Gregory Polanco OF Ranking: 16
Brett Gardner OF Ranking: 78
So many outfielders to choose from but this seemed like a good comp, as Polanco and Gardner possess similar skill sets. I was very high on Polanco this year, so his 2017 struggles are truly baffling. I'd give him another chance as next year will only be his age-26 season. Over in the Bronx, Gardner has reemerged as a legitimate power/speed threat, and he's always been a reliable source of runs, thanks in large part to his ability to get on base at a high rate. He was largely overlooked in drafts this year, which probably won't be the case next year. Gardner is already 34, so I'm not sure how many more stellar seasons he has left in the tank, but it will be interesting to see how the fantasy market values him compared to Polanco entering 2018. I might go the Polanco route, especially if the Polanco route turns out to be the cheaper route.
Polanco cheaper than Gardner? Yup, a lot can change in one season.
