Washington, D.C., October 3, 2004 – LAWFUEL – Best law news, SEC, attorney, law firm news As part of its initiative to assess the
benefits of tagged data and its potential for improving the timeliness,
accuracy and analysis of financial disclosure in Commission filings, the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued a proposing release today to
establish a voluntary program allowing registrants to file supplemental
financial information using eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).
Registrants would be able to voluntarily furnish XBRL data in an exhibit to
specified EDGAR filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
Investment Company Act of 1940. This program would begin with the 2004
calendar year-end reporting season. The proposal will be open for public
comment for a 30 day period following its publication in the Federal
The Commission also issued a concept release today seeking public comment
* the benefits of tagging data to improve reporting
quality and efficiency;
* the implications of tagging data for filers, investors,
the Commission and other market participants; and
* the adequacy and efficacy of XBRL as a format for
reporting financial information.
Comments on the concept release should be submitted to the Commission within
45 days of its publication in the Federal Register.
Data tagging is gaining prominence as a format for enhancing financial
reporting data using eXtensible Mark-Up Language (XML) derivatives, such as
XBRL. Tagging provides greater context to data through standard definitions
that turn text-based information, such as the filings currently contained in
the Commission's EDGAR system, into documents that can be retrieved,
searched and analyzed through automated means. Data tags describe
information such as items included in financial statements. This enables
investors and other marketplace participants to analyze data from different
sources and allows for the automatic exchange of financial information
across various software platforms, including web services.

Singing With Confidence: 3 Keys To Free Ourselves From The Self Confidence Demons – Part 1
Almost every person who has come to me for singing lessons has started by saying that what they'd like is more confidence when they sing.
Whether they're performing internationally or beginners who are curious how they can enjoy singing more whether in the bathroom, in a choir or a rowdy Saturday night at Karaoke. It seems to have less to do with how much they know about their voice and more to do with how they perceive themselves and measure themselves against what they perceive is "good singing".
As an NLP Master Practitioner, I've spent years studying what makes us feel more confident and what prevents us feeling confident right when we need it most. (For example when we open our mouths to sing in front of people.)
What builds our confidence is a rich and complex subject, with endless research and theories about what works. There is an elegant and simple technique that I've developed to distill many of these strategies into a single quick process you can use anytime just before you're going into a stressful situation, for example when you're about to sing and you want to shine with confidence.
This technique uses 3 important areas of awareness. These are the same strategies used by Olympic athletes. By strengthening each of these strategies during our singing lessons we "wire them in" so that we can confidently rely on them when we're nervous or about to perform. This builds our sense of trust in our voice, and ourselves and our singing confidence soars.
So let's explore the first strategy:
Being connected and in our body, rather than being a "disembodied mind".
Do you know the feeling where you're singing a song and you feel as if you're actually several kilometers away watching yourself from a disembodied state?
From this place we're disconnected from our "musical mind" of creative, spontaneous expression and more in our "inner demons mind" of judgment, criticism and comparison. A sure fire way to let our demons rule and have a party where they're eating away at our singing confidence one morsel at a time!
The way to beat these confidence-destroying demons is by using the breath to bring us back into our bodies – to bring us home to ourselves.
The more anxious and doubtful we are in a situation, the more shallow and chesty our breath becomes and the more anxious we feel. So firstly we need to be able to regularly use the "breath of champions".
This is the breath taught in yoga, martial arts, singing lessons, acting, elite sports, mindfulness and meditation. It allows us to release all the tension and breath into the lower quadrants of our lungs and let the breath flow out evenly and easily. Put your hands on your bottom floating ribs and as you breathe in feel them expand and your belly to out. The ribs slowly soften as you reach the end of the phrase and belly flattens towards the spine.
Using this breathing technique helps to powerfully center ourselves. It helps us think clearly; remember all the words to the song; gives us quick reaction times to what's around us; respond to the audience and band; and most importantly helps us manage our internal demons and the negative mind games we play with ourselves while singing.
This skill is one of the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves. It brings us back home to our true selves and it builds our Self Confidence, when we're singing, and in all the other important parts of our lives as we go through our day.
Join me and the Sydney Singing Lessons team for our fun "Confidence Booster Master class" and come away walking taller, singing more freely with greater confidence in your own unique way of singing and expressing yourself.

Landlord cited for running illegal lodging house after fire that killed BU student
The owner of the Allston building where a Boston University student died in a fire this weekend was cited today for operating an illegal rooming house because she allegedly allowed 19 people to live in a two-family home.
Anna Belokurova was also cited for failing to obtain proper permits before creating bedrooms in the basement of the building at 87 Linden St., where a three-alarm fire Sunday killed Binland Lee, a 22-year-old BU marine sciences student from Brooklyn, N.Y.
Belokurova, a Newton resident, was also ordered to secure the remnants of the charred three-story building immediately, according to documents released this afternoon by the city's Inspectional Services Department.
The cause of the fire, which broke out at 6:30 a.m. Sunday, remains under investigation.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley has assigned a prosecutor to the death investigation, which is standard procedure in such cases.
"We investigate every unattended death to determine whether charges are warranted against any person in any capacity,'' Conley said.
"This case is no exception. We're not prejudging the case, and the probe is in its very early stages. We'll follow the evidence wherever it leads, and we'll apply the law fairly to the facts before we make a charging decision,'' he said.
A city ordinance also says that no more than four unrelated undergraduate students are permitted to live in a dwelling, while authorities say that at least six of the 19 residents were BU students.
ISD inspectors examined the building Monday and issued the citations today.
The city last inspected the building in 1992 when it approved a prior owner's plan to convert a single-family home into a two-family. Those modifications included a firewall that closed the internal stairway between the first and second floors, creating a maze-like path from one story to another, interrupted by a steel door that served as a divider between the units, the Globe reported today.

2 Koreas agree to restore military hotline
North Korea agreed Thursday to restore a cross-border military hotline with South Korea, in another sign of easing tensions between the rivals in recent weeks, the South Korean government said.
North Korea in March shut down the telephone and fax lines used to coordinate cross-border travel to a joint industrial park in Kaesong that has since been shuttered. During the spring, North Korea issued a series of threats including vows to launch nuclear strikes on Seoul and Washington, but later dialed down its rhetoric and made conciliatory gestures.
On Thursday, the two Koreas agreed at a meeting in Kaesong to restart the hotline starting Friday, Seoul's Unification Ministry said.
The two Koreas agreed last month to work toward a reopening of the industrial complex, which had been the last symbol of reconciliation between the countries before North Korea suspended its operations in April.
In June, the two Koreas restored another communications channel at a border village.
But last week, North Korea withdrew its invitation to a U.S. envoy to visit the country to discuss the release of a detained American, citing the alleged participation of U.S. nuclear-capable bombers in annual military exercises between Washington and Seoul.
The Korean Peninsula remains officially at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. About 28,000 U.S. troops are deployed in South Korea in a legacy of the war.

The Japanese version - ringu - is one of the scariest films I have ever seen. I am not joking when I say that I had to sleep with the light on for a week after watching it. One of the reasons it is so effective is that is eschews the typical methods of Hollywood horror directing with no sudden bangs or orchestra hits and almost no music at all. It relys on the viewers imagination to create its' chills, getting under the skin with sustained and building tension instead of merely making you jump out of your seat. The American version however takes what was a superb psychological thriller and mangles it into a run of the mill teen-squealer. There are many magnificent American horror films but this is not one of them. Another entry to the hall of unnecessary remakes._________________JS Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Dave's ESL Cafe's Student Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Film and Cinema All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Student Forums----------------ComputersCurrent NewsCultureEnglish SchoolsFamilyFilm and CinemaFoodHealth and FitnessHelp CenterHobbiesHolidaysLearning EnglishLiteratureMaking FriendsMusicOpinionsPetsScienceSportsThe Strange and MysteriousTOEFL and Other English ExamsTravel You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Dave's ESL Cafe is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

More than two decades after Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas, the number of such charges has remained virtually unchanged. But amid a more sexualized media culture and with innovations in technology, lawyers say it's the nature of sexual harassment cases that's changed.
A new documentary film, "Anita: Speaking Truth to Power," released March 21, revisits the case. As a young law professor in 1991, Hill testified before the all-white, all-male Senate Judiciary Committee about her alleged sexual harassment by Thomas — then a Supreme Court Judge nominee — when he was chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Despite the allegations, Thomas became a Supreme Court Judge in October 1991. Interviewed in the film, Hill, 57, said many cases still go unreported. Most of the time, she said, victims "will look for a better job."
The hearings put sexual harassment on the national agenda and led to an increase in the number of harassment lawsuits, experts say. And that number has remained nearly constant ever since. There were 10,532 sexual harassment cases in 1992, the year after the Hill-Thomas Senate hearings, versus 10,730 last year. The number of cases peaked at 15,889 in 1997. "Was there a problem with sexual harassment? Yes. Is it still a problem? Yes. "Did Anita Hill put it on the radar? Absolutely," says Jennifer Drobac, professor of law at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
With increased understanding about what constitutes sexual harassment, more men have filed cases too. The proportion of men filing suits has nearly doubled, from 9.1% of all sexual harassment charges in 1992 to 17.8% in 2013, according to the EEOC. Cases in recent years have often involved men sexually harassing other men, even involving physical assaults. But "until companies make sure that there is no stigma for reporting sexual harassment, we'll continue to see men letting it go without reporting it, says Donna Ballman, an attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and author of the book "Stand Up for Yourself Without Getting Fired."
There are rare cases where men allege sexual harassment by women. Last week, a jury in Galveston, Texas, awarded $567,000 (including lost wages and benefits) to policeman James Gist, who filed suit at the 122nd Judicial District Court in Galveston. He alleged that his boss, then-constable Pam Matranga, held his face against her breasts and made derogatory comments of a sexual nature. (The suit was taken against Galveston County, not Matranga personally.) The total compensatory damage sought during final arguments was $350,000, but the jury awarded $500,000, according to Anthony Griffin, attorney for Gist.
Matranga disputes the allegations. Police officers' sense of humor is often on the crude side, she told MarketWatch, "probably as a safety mechanism for things dealt with daily." She says people can't participate in that behavior, and then claim to be offended. Gist says the talk was directed at him in a "non-stop continuous barrage of those types of comments. I told her at one point, 'That's not locker room humor. It's humiliating, offensive and unwanted.'"
So why has the number of cases not been reduced through workplace training on sexual harassment prevention? "I've noticed a trend with the level of aggression," Sharpe says. "It used to progress over time, but now they go from zero to 60 quite quickly." People in big cities in particular may be desensitized to sexually aggressive behavior, she adds. The level and acceptance of sexual innuendo on television and around the water cooler is one reason, says Robin Shea, partner with the law firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith in Winston-Salem, N.C. "That was not nearly as extensive in the 1990s as it is now," she says.
Earlier this month, for instance, Christina Young, 36, filed a sexual harassment suit in the Manhattan Supreme Court, alleging that her colleagues at executive compensation consulting firm Steven Hall & Partners in New York routinely talked about erections, oral sex and masturbation; one colleague allegedly read erotica out loud, while another simulated sexual intercourse with a chair, according to her claim. In a statement to MarketWatch, Nora McCord, managing director of Steven Hall & Partners, says, "The allegations are completely false and we have full confidence that we will be vindicated."
And recent high-profile cases in the military may have led to an increase in the number of reports of sexual harassment — perhaps like the Anita Hill case did in 1991. Cases of unwanted sexual conduct in the military rose to 26,000 in 2012 from 19,000 in 2010, according to a 2013 Pentagon survey. Reports of military sexual assaults surged to more than 5,000, a rise of 50% year-over-year from October 2013 to September 2014, according to the Department of Defense. (Earlier this month, the U.S. Army said it suspended a top prosecutor who supervises sexual-assault cases over allegations of groping a female soldier at a conference on sexual harassment.)
What's more, cyberbullying at work has become a problem just like in schools, and has made sexual harassment cases even more egregious in recent years, says Marjorie M. Sharpe, lead counsel at Phillips & Associates in New York. The cliché of a male boss chasing his secretary around the desk has been replaced by sexually explicit jokes and comments on social networks, texts and emails with inappropriate images, she says. "It never ceases to amaze me the type of sexual harassment that comes across my desk," she adds. "You wouldn't believe the type of things people exchange over emails." That, Sharpe says, includes pornography, videos and even certain body parts.
But one thing that hasn't changed much since the Anita Hill case: Victims fear their character will be put on trial, Sharpe says. One 2011 study carried out by Langer Research Associates found that one in four women — a far greater proportion than the EEOC data suggests — and one in 10 men said they experienced sexual harassment at work. "The probability of being hired by another employer becomes more difficult after filing a case," she adds, particularly during tougher economic times when it's harder to find another job. "Anita Hill told her story to the world and she was judged by many people for it. Clarence Thomas came out virtually unscathed."

« Under Fire, College Board to 'Clarify' New U.S. History Framework | Main | Despite Training, Half of Teachers Feel Inadequately Prepared for Common Core »
With Fractions, Common-Core Training Goes Beyond 'Invert and Multiply'
Rockville, Md.
"Who would draw a picture to divide 2/3 by 3/4?" asked Marina Ratner, a professor emerita of mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley, in a recent Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
Ratner meant the question as rhetoricalshe's an adamant opponent of the Common Core State Standards in math and spends the article arguing that they're making math education in the country worse. Her point was that drawing such a picture is a waste of time and makes the problem overly complex.
However, at a professional development session on the common core I attended last month, held by the Maryland department of education, a small group of middle school math teachers learned how to illustrate these types of equations. And as evidenced by the "oohs" and "ahhs" voiced during the hour-and-a-half-long session, most attendees found it quite illuminating.
Maryland teachers Terry Wheeler and Dawn Caine taught the group four ways to represent division of fractions by fractionsnot one of them was the "invert and multiply" rule that all of the adults in the room had been taught.
As I've mentioned before, the common core requires more conceptual understanding than most previous state standards. In fact, when asked about the difference between the old and new standards, many teachers have pointed to fractions as an examplethey can no longer teach "Don't ask why, just invert and multiply." Now they have to help students "make sense of problems," as the common core's Standards for Mathematical Practice require. And that's not always easy to do.
"I've been able to divide fractions since I was taught it," said Caine. "But I was a teacher when I understood how to graphically model what it means."
Caine and Wheeler showed four models for illustrating division of fractions:
- Area model
- Number line model
- Tape diagram model
- Common denominator model
For the sake of space, I'll show the number line and common denominator models here. Their entire presentation is available on this site (see M106 - Some Middle School Standards Are More Difficult to Interpret and Understand in Mathematics).
Number Line
The PD leaders started with division of fractions by whole numbers, and scaffolded from there. But I'll begin right with division of fractions by fractions (a 6th grade common-core standard). Here's the Powerpoint slide from their presentation.
The teachers first translated the equation 3/4 divided by 3/8 into words: "How many 3/8 parts can be partitioned from 3/4?" That wording in and of itself was a change for most teachers. Then they showed a number line from 0 to 1, divided into fourths. The yellow line above shows what 3/4 looks like.
Caine explained that the yellow line, 3/4, is the "new whole." The equation is asking, how many 3/8 parts can fit into that new whole? In order to figure this out, students need to divide the same number line again, this time into eighths. Then they are able to count out the number of 3/8 parts within the yellow line. There are two.
The method does become more complicated with numbers that don't divide evenly. But the same concept holds true.
Common Denominator
The common denominator model, while not really a picture, demonstrates that the same rules apply to multiplication and division with fractions. It also shows why "invert and multiply" works. (For me, and most of the teachers there, learning this was a true "aha" moment.)
All students have to do is convert the given fractions into fractions with the same denominator. Then they can divide across. Each time they do this, they'll get a 1 on the bottom (above, 8 divided by 8 equals 1). The fraction in the numerator will simply be the answer.
Caine recommended teachers show their class all four methods, and allow students to choose the one that makes the most sense to them. Eventually, the PD leaders said, students can and should learn the "invert and multiply" rule, to save time with more complicated problems.
"I like for kids to be efficient in math if they understand the concepts below it," said Caine. "I don't like shortcuts if they don't understand the concepts."
Having looked over the above ways of introducing fractions division, what are your thoughts? Would you prefer to go straight to the algorithm, or start with these alternate, conceptual representations? Or do you think this confirms Ratner's claim, in the Wall Street Journal, that under the common standards, "simple concepts are made artificially intricate and complex"?

I just stumbled upon your website offering a writing course for children last July. I have an 11 year old daughter with great ambitions to become a writer and was wondering if you are offering other courses or if you happen to know anything similar in the Durham or Clarington area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jackie Robinson movie to be screened in KC
Tickets start at $42
Kansas City's Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is helping host an advance screening of an upcoming movie about Jackie Robinson, who broke major league baseball's color barrier.
The special screening will be held at the AMC Barrywoods Theaters on April 11. Tickets can be purchased by going to 42kansascity.com.
Thomas Butch of the financial firm Waddell and Reed announced Wednesday that actors Harrison Ford and Andre Holland will be among those appearing at an April 11 screening of "42." The film chronicles Robinson's rise from the Negro Leagues' Kansas City Monarchs in 1945 to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, when he won the inaugural Rookie of the Year award.
Robinson's uniform No. 42 is retired throughout baseball.
Waddell & Reed is presenting the advance screenings, which will include a VIP reception with the actors a day before the movie's official release. Tickets to the screenings start at $42, with proceeds going to the museum.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan in New York, the most influential member of the Catholic Church in the U.S., was the driving force behind the creation of a new convent in Drogheda, Co. Louth, complete with four American nuns.
St. Colette's convent, part of the bigger St. Mary's parish in Drogheda, is now home to the American Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, otherwise known as Sisters Jacinta, Monica, Veronica and Kelly Francis.
They arrived in Ireland earlier this month as part of Dolan's dream to repay the Sister of Mercy nuns in Drogheda who came to teach at his Missouri parish, Holy Infant, when he was growing up.
The Sisters of Mercy order eventually left Drogheda because of age and no new vocations, and Dolan came up with the idea to send four New York-based nuns, part of the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal order, to Drogheda as a tribute to the Mercy nuns.
The local Irish bishops, Michael Smith of Meath and Denis Nulty of Kildare of Leighlin, were happy to help Dolan bring his Irish dream to reality.
"Those religious women had a profound impact on my life. They were my teachers in six of my eight elementary school years, and still serve as friends and mentors," Dolan wrote in the New York Archdiocese newspaper "Catholic New York."
"Yes, they were splendid educators, but they were also strong women of warm, deep, joyful faith, who passed that love for Jesus and His Church to one young Timmy Dolan.
"My love and gratitude for them knows no restraint, and I have for decades reached for a way to repay Ireland for the gift they gave Holy Infant Parish in the Sisters of Mercy from Drogheda."
The four Franciscan Sisters are now ensconced in their Drogheda home, and they are thrilled to be ministering in Ireland. St. Colette's underwent a renovation to accommodate the new residents.
Sister Monica, 45, a native of Long Island with roots in counties Monaghan and Armagh, told "The Irish Times" that when she worked as an investment manager in Boston, she felt "something was missing."
A trip to Medjugorje convinced her to become a nun.
Sister Jacinta, 39, originally from Northampton, knew she wanted to become a nun after a trip to Rome 13 years ago.
"I suddenly realized Jesus was interested in me personally. It deeply, deeply changed my heart. I was 26 . . . I was overwhelmed by this amazing joy you couldn't manufacture. It was a feeling of almost like falling in love, which you cannot control," she said.
The new arrivals were celebrated at a Mass at St. Mary's in Drogheda on Thursday, August 15, and Dolan made the trip to Ireland to participate. The Mass was also celebrated by Smith and McNulty, while the papal nuncio in Ireland, Archbishop Charles Brown, was at the post-Mass gathering.
"It will be a very happy day for this boy from Ballwin, trained by Irish sisters, who now daily offers Mass in the cathedral dedicated to St. Patrick. But, I trust it will be a happier day for the church, especially the ancient Church of Ireland, to whom we Americans owe so much," Dolan said of the nuns' move.
The Franciscan Sisters of Renewal were founded in New York in 1988, with a mission of ministering to the poor.
"We are trusting in God to make it clear," Sister Jacinta said of her mission to Ireland.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
If you have been following Facebook stock prices in the past month, you will know that the stock has had significant activity to the upside.
Investors are starting to understand the advertising strategy that Facebook is slowly rolling out to businesses looking to leverage the world's most popular social platform.
This past week I moved into a new townhouse and I visited Bed Bath & Beyond's website, which is a popular retail store in this market. In fact, I have been at BB&B a few times this week; I never seem to anticipate all my needs on one visit.
When I viewed my Facebook page this week, I noticed a nice surprise. BB&B is retargeting me on Facebook. You can see their ads on the screen capture below:
Retargeting keeps the BB&B brand front and center in my mind, especially since I'll most likely be going back a few more times over the next month. Just like in the car business, I have many local choices to buy home goods like Macy's, JC Penny, Lowes, etc.
Research on the consumer shopping journey has clearly shown that MULTIPLE online and offline advertising "touch points" influence what vehicle is purchased and where a consumer purchases the vehicle.
If your dealership is not TESTING the new Facebook advertising products available to reach LOCAL consumers, you need to get educated.
You can hear the best practices for Facebook advertising and get your specific dealer questions answered by Patrick Workman from Facebook at the 2013 Digital Marketing Strategies Conference.
Facebook has many NEW ways to reach local consumers that have a very strong ROI. You will be very surprised just how well Facebook is working with retargeting, sponsored stories, and behavior targeting ads.
So what are you waiting for? Retargeting is an effective way to keep your brand in the consumers consideration set. Get the facts and make a decision.
If you have questions, or need help getting started with Facebook advertising, ask your questions here below or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you enjoyed this reminder, please share this posted on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and your social network.

Garfield Elementary School in Springfield, like all of Fairfax County, has a population that reflects a wide range of backgrounds. With 33 languages spoken, the school's ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program has had to expand. The school has a first grade class of 60 students, 58 of whom are ESOL students ranging from levels one through four.
Jane Cofie-Raczko, who has been a teacher for the past 13 years, teaches one of three first grade classes in which all 20 of the students have English as a second language. The majority of these students are from Hispanic or Middle Eastern backgrounds and common languages include Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese. The challenges involved with teaching these students depend on their proficiency with the English language.

"For students who speak almost no English, it can be difficult to communicate to the students that you want them to succeed and that you are there to help them. It can also be difficult to get the students to ask for help, mostly due to their lack of confidence in their speaking ability. For students with a better knowledge of the social language, it can be tough to give them a similarly strong academic language. Add the already difficult material to learning English for the first time and it can be very challenging."
"The success of the students with the curriculum and their preparedness for middle and high school depends on the schooling they received in their home country as well as when they enrolled at Garfield," said Rozi Khakpour, an ESOL teacher at Garfield Elementary.
Students who have attended Garfield from the start get the opportunity to develop oral language at an early age through programs such as Lunch and Bunch in which kindergartners with English as a second language meet twice a week to have lunch and practice this important skill. The program, along with others, have proven to be successful as "students who have been at Garfield since kindergarten often exceed in high school and earn positions on the honor roll," Khakpour said.
"Another thing that has proven to be helpful," said Kirsten Howard, another first grade teacher, "is Garfield's social curriculum." This social curriculum, which concentrates on teaching students cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control, has given students a greater awareness outside themselves and has helped them in middle in high school as demonstrated by their willingness to take on leadership positions.

Because it's 3:19 a.m. and my Facebook feed is already full of declarations of rank despair …Comments
… I'll share this Facebook post someone whose opinion I trust mightily wrote last night:
Dear People Flipping Out,
I've mentioned this before, but about a decade ago I was in a sabermetric-oriented simulated baseball league with someone I'll call "Sate Nilver." I eventually quit that league because no one could defeat "Nilver," because "Nilver" cared about nothing but being correct. His assiduous devotion to developing models that could defeat your models sapped all the fun out of simulating baseball games with a group of stats nerds. Now, sleep easy, because tomorrow he will "win" again.
I believe in the guy who believes in this guy like he was my son or possibly myself.

Impressive Germen pitching himself into bigger role
NEW YORK -- His Major League resume is practically nonexistent, but Gonzalez Germen has already shown the Mets that he's capable of pitching in high-pressure situations.
On Saturday against the Phillies, with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth and the Mets clinging to a one-run lead, manager Terry Collins called Germen from the bullpen to pitch to Delmon Young.
With plenty of poise, the 25-year-old Germen struck out Young to end the inning. He ended up giving the Mets 1 2/3 scoreless innings without allowing a hit, and he struck out three en route to the Mets' 5-4 win.
It was another solid outing that earned him both his first Major League win and the praise of his manager. It might also have earned him a bigger role out of the bullpen.
"There's no reason why we shouldn't be using him more," Collins said. "Of course, he's only been here a week, and he's been in four games already. He's been very, very impressive."
In four appearances since making his Major League debut on July 12, Germen has a 2.45 ERA. He's allowed only one hit in 3 2/3 innings, and he has six strikeouts.
Catcher John Buck has been impressed with Germen, who goes right after hitters instead of "nibbling" the edges. Buck said Germen has a good fastball, a great changeup and a slider he can throw at any time.
With those quality pitches and a deceptive delivery, Germen has an arsenal that's been getting him big outs. For now he's been throwing mostly fastballs, but that could change.
"With him being fresh, a lot of guys don't know what he has," Buck said. "You can kind of use that. It works to his advantage right now. Maybe later, teams start seeing him more, we can mix it up a little bit more."
Germen's debut, in Pittsburgh, came in the bottom of the 11th inning. He walked two batters -- one intentionally -- and also struck out two. He surrendered the walk-off single to Jordy Mercer that handed the Mets the loss, but that was the last hit he's given up.
The next day, Collins sent Germen into the game in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. Germen got Gaby Sanchez to foul out to Buck.
Germen has given the Mets a quality arm in a bullpen that's been used plenty in recent games. Now he might be called on even more.
"One of the things we talked about in Spring Training is that we need to find some relief down the road," Collins said. "It looks like he might be the guy who steps up and gets that job."
