Fantasy Football Drafts: stop making users choose to load custom pre-draft rankings in fantasy football
Fantasy Football Drafts: eliminate the need for users to intentionally choose to load their custom pre-draft rankings when launching a draft or mock draft (if desired).
If users don't choose this, they can sort players by XRank, Rank, ADP, etc. However, those choices are there even if they do choose to load their custom pre-draft rankings.
Seems the simplest solution is to have columns in the draft screen for XRank, Rank, ADP, and MyRank (or whatever it's called).
Saves a few steps and users have full choice.
523rd ranked

Audio: Explanation of al-Qawāʿid al-Muthlá
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Our noble brother Musá Richardson goes through the famous text, al-Qawāʿid al-Muthlá, (The Exemplary Principles Concerning the Names and Attributes of Allāh) by Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn Ṣaliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (raḥimahullāh). The lectures took place during a 2003 seminar in Toronto, Canada entitled There is Nothing Stranger than the Sunnah. The book was later translated by the speaker and published: Exemplary Principles Concerning the Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allaah (Revised 2nd Edition).

The sacrifice of self-control
I keep writing stuff here and then deleting it and thinking "Wow, sure felt good to get THAT off my chest."
I have lots of opportunities every day to be a jerk. I suppose we all do, really. But at the end of the day, I don't want to look back and find I took them, even if I was provoked. The world has enough jerks, and there's no shortage of provokers out there, either. And I'm sure I'm an accidental jerk sometimes, but I surely don't want to be one on purpose.
I've heard it said that sacrifice is the highest form of love. Sometimes it's a huge sacrifice to not be a jerk. Sometimes I have to purposefully decide that even though I'm being provoked, I would not be authentically me if I responded the way I want to in that moment. And later, I'd be sad to realize that I'd blown an opportunity to show a higher form of love. I would be sad that I chose to move away from my goal, not towards it.
Sometimes it's really hard to do the right thing now so I won't be sad later.
That applies to being a jerk AND eating donuts.
October 11, 2013 10:02 am
You were doing great til you got to the donuts. :)
Thanks for the reminder that being my best self is my authentic self.

Minnesota visitor Steve Bona described to state officials how he helped a California woman who had been attacked by a shark off Kaanapali yesterday. Bona estimated the shark to be 8 to 10 feet in length.
Shark attacks touristKAANAPALI, Maui >> A shark attacked a California woman as she swam off the Kaanapali coast yesterday morning.
off Kaanapali, Maui
The woman, 33, is in stableBy Gary T. Kubota
condition in a Maui hospital
It was the third shark attack off the Valley Isle this year.
Julie Glance, 33, of San Diego, was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition, but was later upgraded to stable condition.
Police Sgt. David Lake said Glance was bitten on the right shoulder, forearm and wrist in waters 100 yards offshore near Embassy Vacation Resorts.
"We don't know what size or what kind of shark it was," Lake said.
Most attacks in Hawaii involve tiger sharks.
Steve Bona, a Minnesota visitor who was about 20 yards from Glance, said he had just arrived on Maui and was in the water about 15 minutes when he saw a body of a shark dive in front of him.
"It came out of the water," Bona said. "It was big."
Bona estimated the shark was 8 to 10 feet long and said it had a gray color.
Bona said a wave blocked his view of the shark for a moment, then he saw a woman who had been swimming calling for help.
"She just was screaming, 'Help, help, help,' " he said. "I was terrified when I saw the shark."
Bona acknowledged that after seeing the shark, he paused for a second. But he saw no one in the vicinity and no one moving to help her.
"I thought I got to go out there. I just went there. It was scary," he said.
Bona, who was on a boogie board, said the woman began floating on her back and kicking to shore but barely moving through the water.
Bona said he moved toward her, put her on his board, and kicked toward shore.
"I was kicking as hard as I could," he said.
"She was saying she didn't want to die. She had children. She was bleeding a lot," Bona said. He said the woman was bleeding and blood was in the water around her.
Bona said the woman's most severe injury appeared to be at the wrist.
He said he was exhausted by the time he reached shore and several people came to assist her.
His girlfriend, Jenni Pomaville, said she ran to call 911.
They brought towels to try to stop the bleeding and a physician and nurse who were in the vicinity treated the woman until paramedics arrived.
Minnesota visitor Steve Bona pointed to the site 100 yards offshore where a shark attacked a visitor yesterday in Kaanapali, Maui. Bona helped the woman to shore. Standing next to him is his girlfriend, Jenni Pomaville, who called 911.
Lake said Glance was conscious and alert when she was transported by ambulance to the hospital.
She was staying at the Embassy resort with her family, including her husband and parents, Lake said.
After the attack at about 10:30 a.m., state and county officials posted warning signs from Black Point to Honokowai Park and prevented people from entering the ocean within a mile of the attack.
Officials were expected to examine ocean conditions this morning before making a determination whether to allow people into the water.
County lifeguards said the site of the attack has an ocean depth of about 5 to 8 feet and a variety of reef life, including turtles and fish.
"There are sharks definitely out there," county water safety official Archie Kalepa said.
Kalepa said at about 2 p.m. yesterday, a 5-foot-long white tip shark was seen swimming in the vicinity of the attack.
But Kalepa said white tips aren't known for attacking people.
Two other shark attacks have occurred on Maui this year.
Los Angeles recording artist Thomas Holmes was bitten on the right buttocks and both thighs while snorkeling about 100 yards offshore in 40 to 50 feet of water off Olowalu in west Maui on Jan. 1.
Karen A. Miller, a part-time Kihei resident from Idaho, was severely bitten on the left foot while swimming 20 yards offshore in 15 feet of water north of Kamaole 1 Beach Park in south Maui on Oct. 30.
The last shark attack in Kaanapali occurred about four years ago when a resident was bitten as she swam about 300 years offshore near Whalers Village.

Garth Brooks Interview: Superstar Entertainer Remembers a Special Friend
Garth Brooks traveled to Nashville from his home in Oklahoma last month for a joyous occasion, the announcement that he was being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Last week, he returned to the Hall of Fame's Ford Theater to attend a memorial service, a celebration of the life of the late Patsi Bale Cox, one of Nashville's most respected music journalists and authors, who died last November after battling emphysema.
Patsi, whose last completed work was a best-selling biography called 'The Garth Factor,' was an integral part of the superstar's entire career. She wrote bios and press releases for him as each new Garth album was unleashed on voracious music fans worldwide. While she had, in fact, compiled so much biographical material on him that a book was the next natural step, Patsi's role in Garth's life was more significant than merely chronicling his meteoric, unprecedented career path. She was a close friend, a trusted confidant and someone on whom he could count not to sugar-coat any situation.
Garth spoke exclusively to The Boot just days after the memorial, in a conversation that also turned to the state of music business -- and what needs to happen before we can expect to buy new Garth Brooks music. He also shared his own experience with one thing everyone's been talking about lately, the MegaMillions lottery.
Why was it important for you to attend Patsi's memorial service?
She died a thousand deaths for me. I've always said I have three women in my life I could turn loose on any nation and I could win any world war. It would be Miss Patsi, Virginia [Team, noted Nashville album-art designer] and [music journalist/CMT personality] Hazel Smith. I could put those three on anybody and win anything. They absolutely have shown their love for me and their allegiance to me. If I've done my job, hopefully they feel it back.
What was your first impression of Patsi?
My first impression of her came in the [Jimmy] Bowen [then-head of Capitol Nashville, the label that first signed Garth] years, where anybody around him, no offense to Jimmy, they just didn't speak up. And Patsi, she could not not speak up. This gal just says what's on her mind and she says what she believes is the truth, which is all you can ask of somebody. So, I wanted to hang with her because knowing where you stand anywhere, especially in an entertainment industry, that's rare to see people declaring sides, instead of just sitting on the fence waiting to see which side things fall on. Patsi declared sides always, and stuck with it.
When you found out she was writing your biography, did you feel like your life was in good hands?
Whatever she prints, she believes to be true. She's all heart, all love and no nonsense. So if she put something in there that I disagree with, I first go, "Hey, this is Patsi; read it twice and see. She's not trying to win points with anybody, so you need to look into this." Even though Patsi recorded what went on in the music business, she created so much of what went on in the music business by her strengths, her beliefs and her influence on people.
Patsi had said at one time that you told her you were getting sick of seeing yourself on magazine covers and that if you were getting sick of it, others must be, too.
If we see too much of one person, even though we like that person we start to kind of pull for other people. I found myself pulling for other people. I remember in the '80s, Randy Travis was my guy. He's the reason I moved to Nashville, and I just loved him. But at some point when he was winning everything, you find yourself pulling for other people. I remember talking to Patsi about that. I found myself pulling for other people against me. As much as I've enjoyed what we've gone through ... I heard a term at the memorial service, "the Garth era." My greatest pride and my greatest joy is just being a part of it. I love being a part of country music. I love going out and ... doing things for the first time for country music. I always enjoy that. And Patsi got that.
What do you remember about the last time you saw her?
She stayed out here at the house. She was doing a book signing in Tulsa. The thing with Patsi is the first time you meet her and the last time you see her, they're the same conversation. Whatever was wrong right now, Patsi knew how to fix it, and I never knew her to be wrong. She gave you reason with an attitude. She gave you reason with drive. You felt like you could go out and slay a nation after talking with her because she laid it down. The great thing was the readiness of the conversation. When an artist is in full gear, your life runs very fast and your windows are very few. All of a sudden, something will pop up and your whole world will change. You immediately get to the people that mean something to you and start talking about what you're facing. With Patsi, I could always call her and if she didn't answer herself, she would call back within two minutes. She would clear her schedule and we would be talking about what I need to do to keep my career from dying at this very moment, what I need to do make the right decision -- because there are heads that are rolling. With the biggest struggles of my career in the '90s, that was the phone call I would make. Patsi was very knowledgeable, I would put her knowledge of country music history and what was going on with country music at the time against anybody. There's a difference between knowing what's on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys. She knew people very, very well. So she could breathe life into people ... and thought about how they thought. She was great at that.
Do you have one special memory of her that will always stay with you?
Patsi and my mom got along fantastically, because my mom was one of those people that could put up with people's bulls--- but she wouldn't very long. Patsi just never tried to B.S. my mom. Whenever they were together in the same room, they would end up being together all night. They both smoked. And as long as my mom was with Patsi, I didn't worry about my mom. I've got to tell you, that statement just hit me because my mom was everything to me but if Patsi was with her I knew she was OK.
Your Las Vegas shows are continuing and obviously you're still sticking to staying off the road until all your daughters graduate from high school, but is there anything else you're working on these days?
Our youngest is a sophomore, so we've got two more years here. I spend all my time right now trying to combat music retail and copyright. Because if I'm going to enter back into this race when the girls go off to college, right now there's no reason to make new music other than the fact that you want to make new music. The way the system is set up, it's impossible. I unfortunately have been working on that. I can't wait to get that behind me. Hopefully, between digital spaces like iTunes and YouTube, we'll get our end figured out, because they're not going to do it for us. No offense to anybody. We just need to get our collective stuff together and if we do that, I can enjoy a possible shot at a second half of a run. But until that happens, I've got nothing planned.
Does that mean you've got people working on these issues for you?
Unfortunately, it's out of my hands, so what I'm doing is a lot of crawling on my hands and knees, begging, pleading, crying to our government, to all of music, to band together. Because if this continues, I don't know how many fewer labels we can get to. If we're not waking up yet, then I'm not sure we ever will.
On the subject of government, do you talk to your daughters about politics and the presidential race?
They're very aware. They're very sharp on those kinds of things. In our house, everyone's opinion is welcome. I grew up in a house where everything wasn't when it came to politics or religion.
One last question: Did you buy a MegaMillions lottery ticket?
[laughs] No, but the only reason was I didn't know how! I was so busy but when it was going, I was wondering, "Damn, I wonder how I can get hold of one of those!"

Another beautiful evening in this glorious Summer saw your correspondent cycling the 13 miles (5 uphill) to Golders Green from Canary Wharf laden with kit. By the time I got there I needed a lie down. Instead I set out the boundary markers (making a reappearance following their holiday in Cambridge), plugged in the stumps, put on the bails and prepared to umpire as Woodstock had won the toss and inserted Salmagundi. Glad Nick didn't want me to open anyway!
Lord Fakenham and David 2-Bats Hollingsworth faced up to some good accurate bowling from Darren and Ricky, their opening stand featuring a six from The North Norfolk baronet and a five from 2-Bats (ah he does like pressurising the field). Fakenham perished caught for 8 off Ricky and soon after Dave had reached 8 when he fended a lifter off his face, then blocked a shooter off his toes, the process unsettling him so that the third ball shattered the timbers. Adam Wood and Billy The Beard negotiated some more tight bowling the scoring rate trickling along for the next few overs until Adam was called for quick single by Billy who then changed his mind, ending up in Adam being run out – also for 8 – personally I reckon 888 is overrated as a good luck symbol. Richard, having the advantage of playing leg spinner Kevin in the nets a few times, upped the scoring rate a bit but at the other end Billy was caught for 12 off the impressive off spin of Talil. Nick and Richard combined well pinching singles and scoring the occasional boundary until Richard was stumped charging Brian for a run-a-ball 22. Nick (5) and Chris (1) were undefeated as the 18 allocated overs completed.
SGCC 85 for 5 off 18 overs
Lord Fakenham caught Ricky 8
David Hollingsworth bowled Ricky 8
Adam Wood run out 8
Billy Yates caught Talil 12
Richard Higginbottom stumped Brian 22
Nick Duckett not out 5
Chris Nicholls not out 1
Salmagundi's opening bowlers Fakenham and Sanjay tore in bowling several excellent deliveries, keeping the run rate down and getting several edges and close calls but nothing quite went the Gardeners way. After the openers had completed 4 overs each without success skipper Nick did an unusual triple change – switching both bowlers and the wicket keeper (actually the plan was for Paul to have a bowl). 3rd and 4th bowlers Billy and Nick also put some useful deliveries down but Woodstock were into their stride now, Mitchell and Darren playing some good shots. Adam came on, turned one a foot, then got out Darren caught by Paul at Square Leg. A little bit too late as Stuart hit the last ball of Adam's over for four to end the match.
Woodstock 86 for 1 off 13 overs won by 9 wickets
Mitchell retired 30
Darren ct Brasted b Wood 28
Stuart not out 4

Decided: July 20, 1990.
On an order to show cause why respondent should not be disbarred or otherwise disciplined.
For reprimand -- Chief Justice Wilentz and Justices Clifford, Handler, Pollock, O'Hern, Garibaldi and Stein. Opposed -- None.
Per Curiam
[120 NJ Page 156]
The District Ethics Committee (DEC) found respondent, John J. Mahoney, guilty by clear and convincing evidence of unethical conduct in his handling of the matters of four clients over a period of more than two years. Agreeing with the DEC's findings of unethical conduct, the Disciplinary Review Board (DRB) recommended that we impose a three-months suspension. The DRB further recommended a one-year proctorship of respondent on his return to the practice. We disagree with the recommendation and deliver instead this public reprimand.
As the DRB observed, the four matters that give rise to respondent's difficulties originated in real-estate transactions. The general theme is one of client neglect, contrary to R.P.C. 1.1(a) and 1.1(b). In handling a real-estate closing for his clients Dinsdale, respondent did not conclude the transaction for two years and failed to respond to numerous inquiries from the clients, contrary to R.P.C. 1.4. In that same transaction the local committee concluded, as did the DRB, that Mahoney had maintained his trust account in a "slipshod fashion," in violation of R.P.C. 1.15. In his handling of a quiet-title action for his clients Monks, respondent failed to pursue the matter for more than a year, during which he was "totally unreachable" by his clients, contrary to R.P.C. 1.4. In dealing with the affairs of his clients Matyiku, who were aggrieved by their prospective purchaser's failure to perform under a contract for the sale of residential property, respondent promised that he would begin shortly on the case, but neglected to take any action whatsoever. In addition, he did not keep the Matyikus properly informed nor did he timely return a retainer of $500 that they had given him. The DRB concluded that that "deceitful conduct" violated both R.P.C. 8.4(c) and R.P.C. 1.3.
[120 NJ Page 157]
It was a transaction involving Mahoney's client Sabelli that most troubled the DRB. Although respondent was under an obligation to procure the discharge of a mortgage on Sabelli's home, he failed to make timely efforts to obtain the discharge. That temporizing increased the difficulties with an excitable client. At one point respondent gave Sabelli a faulty discharge of the mortgage to file with the County Clerk, knowing that the discharge was irregular in form and therefore could not be recorded. Respondent acknowledged that he took that action "to shut [the client] up." When later confronted by the client, respondent lied to him by indicating that another discharge of mortgage had been sent to the Clerk for recording. A heated discussion between Sabelli and respondent followed, after which respondent, as found by the DRB, "essentially abandoned" his client -- that is, he did no more work for Sabelli and did not respond to the client's inquiries.
Respondent contended below, as he did in oral argument before this Court, that Sabelli was a difficult client whose conduct rendered respondent fearful. The DEC and DRB found that excuse to be "wholly without merit."
In support of his position, Mahoney argued in this Court that after all of the difficulties arising from the inability to record a mortgage discharge, he had agreed to meet personally with Sabelli in an effort to calm him. In respondent's words, Sabelli had "met respondent in the parking lot [of a restaurant] and with alcohol-laden breath screamed at respondent 'make a move so I can leave you dead in the parking lot.'" Respondent says that he managed to escape the scene, but that having learned in the course of representing Sabelli that the latter had a pistol collection and had done time in prison for assault, he "simply withdrew for a number of months and lived in fear that every knock on the door of his home would be Sabelli seeking to even the score."
The DRB concluded that respondent's difficulties with Sabelli "were apparently of respondent's own making, inasmuch as he
[120 NJ Page 158]
not only failed to act for the client, but when the client pressed for results, as was his due, respondent gave him the bogus document to keep him quiet and thereafter misrepresented facts to him."
Our independent review of the record brings us to substantially the same conclusions as those reached by the DRB. There is no doubt of respondent's dereliction. We do not, however, find by clear and convincing evidence that respondent gave Sabelli a "bogus" document, unless one were to accept "improperly executed" as included in the meaning of "bogus." Except to the extent that the DRB report may be read to express a determination that respondent had prepared the document, the record fully supports the findings of the respective disciplinary bodies below.
The question becomes, then, one of the appropriate discipline. Respondent argues that at the time of his misconduct, he was laboring under severe pressures, largely because he had his office in his home and was therefore accessible to clients at any hour of the day or night. The occasions on which clients took advantage of that arrangement produced stress that respondent was ill-equipped to handle. That condition was exacerbated by the fact that respondent had informed his clients about the place of employment of his wife; thus, when the clients were unable to reach respondent, they called his wife and berated her. ...

How Much Did Tudor Physicians, Surgeons And Apothecaries Know About Chemistry?
In Tudor times, most people could not afford to visit the doctor and had to rely on family and friends to treat even serious conditions.
Scientific knowledge was limited, and recipes for treatments that still survive today seem to show a random and chaotic mixture of strange ingredients. Despite having a basic understanding of which plants were poisonous and which drinks were intoxicating, their chemistry knowledge was limited. Medical treatments were conducted by apothecaries, barber-surgeons or physicians, each with its own specialisation, but how much any of these professionals knew about chemistry?
The equivalent to today's pharmacies, these Tudor shops sold medicinal products for patients, as well as raw materials for physicians to prepare their own recipes. Products on sale included dried herbs and other drugs, which may still have a place in herbalist shops today, but also other strange ingredients, such as mummified birds and fishes. The work of an apothecary is regarded by many as a precursor of the modern sciences chemistry and pharmacology, possibly giving rise to the interchangeable use of chemist and pharmacist as modern day terms to describe this occupation.
Surgeons And Barbers
Although needed in emergency situations, most surgeons could not survive on this profession alone, and many traded as barbers as well. Contrary to physicians, surgeons were trained by apprenticeship rather than academically, and their empirical knowledge about drugs and the human body was extremely limited.
Finally, this group comprised those involved with medicine, but not selling in apothecaries or using surgical instruments. Physicians believed surgical procedures were the solution for various problems, but felt their position was to oversee surgeons instead of performing the operation themselves. Despite the fact that the term physician was already associated with those with higher medical education, alchemy and magic featured very heavily in daily treatments.
For example, it was widely believed that prayers and spells could alter the course of a disease and phases of the Moon were frequently used to explain why treatments failed, rather than look for a scientific explanation. To avoid this, in 1518 King Henry VIII officially started the College of Physicians of London to define medical standards and prevent the proliferation of charlatans and frauds.
Of all medical professions in Tudor times, physicians and apothecaries are probably the ones most familiar with some chemical elements and compounds and the effect they have in the body, although many of the explanations were wild and lamentably wrong.
