Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
The off-season is (thankfully!) over and it's time to play baseball again at Fitch Park.
The pitchers & catchers reported last weekend, and a lot of the position players have now arrived, too.
At this point, morning workouts are consisting of half of the pitchers throwing "bullpen" sessions in the ten-mound bullpen each day, Pitchers Fielding Practice (known as "PFP") on Fields #1, #2, and #3, Pitchers Bunting Practice on Field #5 (the half-field infield), catchers fielding practice on Field #5 and catchers early batting practice (before the pitchers throw in the ten-pen) on Field #4, "traditional" BP for the remaining position players (with coaches throwing soft-toss from in front of the mound) on Fields #1 & #2, and then infield & outfield fielding practice for the position players.
Despite the new regime's anticipated increased emphasis on order, discipline, and accountability, everybody seems pretty loose. The workouts are fairly spirited, and the players and coaches all seem to be very positive about their various activities.
FWIW, I think the most-impressive hitter so far in the BP sessions has been Dave Sappelt, the outfielder acquired from the Reds in the Sean Marshall deal. Sappelt is only 5'9, but he really packs a wallop with a short RH stroke with HR power and plus bat speed. I suspect Sappelt will probably start the season at AAA Iowa, but he looks to be (at the very least) the Cubs eventual "4th OF."
Here is the up-to-the-minute Cubs Spring Training Roster with uniform numbers. In addition to the previously-reported uniform number changes that were made during the off-season (Matt Garza switching from #17 to #22, Jeff Baker switching from #28 to #3, Tony Campana switching from #41 to #1, etc), there were also a couple of last-minute number switches/assignments (Alfredo Amezaga switched from #48 to #99, and recently-acquired INF Adrian Cardenas was assigned #45 - Sean Marshall's old number).

Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Arizona Phil, you may think I am crazy, but I see my old friend Edgar Tovar isnt listed. Is he a goner?
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
tovar's probably chilling at home in FL...with so many kids and coaches in camp they probably don't need him catching right now.
i can't imagine the cubs giving him up given how much people (players and fans) like him and how small of a role he plays with the club. unless he moved on to another team or retired i can't imagine him being asked to leave.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I was at a Cubs game in Houston (2006 maybe?) and I'll always remember a fan just going nuts trying to get Tovar's auto. I commented on it and the twenty-something young man looks at me and says: "He gets paid league minimum to play catch all day, I love that guy!!"
And I was sold on Tovar ever since.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
THANK YOU PHIL! WHOOOOO! First Live Report from the AZ PHIL!
Now...what about the weather , PHIL?
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Indeed--like blooms on the trees and birds returning, this is a much-welcomed annual first sign of spring.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Sappelt: The New Reed Johnson.
Or, for short, The New Johnson. As such, he'll be a very popular man over the next few years.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Thank you Arizona Phil. I always look forward to your expert posts. The universe in now in sinc with Campana being #1. There really is no other number for him. I blame last season's dismall performance on him not being #1.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
teams with the brightest future for their rotations
nope, the Cubs are not listed
DBacks, Braves, Pirates, Mariners, Royals, A's, Padres, Rays, Blue Jays
Bunt Tourney Seeding
seems random...
Beliveau, Lake, Mather, T. Wood are 1 seeds
Dempster a #10 seed, but Garza a #6
Soriano is a #15 seed though
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
ha...tim buss and SWAIN are participating.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I'm ready to fill out my bracket, my money's ready, but Yahoo and ESPN haven't launched their apps yet. =-\
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
everyone's favorite topic, lineups!!!
Sveum not looking to platoon.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
about time someone bothered to ask...even if it's too early in spring to nail anything down.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Probably good. Platoons are one of those things that seem to work better in theory than in practice.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Platoons work pretty good until the starting pitcher gets replaced by a guy who pitches from the other side.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
2012 cubs...the star of the team doesn't wear a uniform and many fans want that guy to trade the best pitcher (and probably best or 2nd best player) on the team away.
it's been a long offseason. someone out there in spring camp please become the face of the club. too bad castro don't give many interviews.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
many fans want that guy to trade the best player on the team away.
What fans want Garza traded away?
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
i can point you to pretty much every blog under the sun that's cubs-related. it's not been a hot topic in here for a while, but there was a good chunk of people here pushing for it, too.
there's enough that i dunno if the "keep him" or "trade him" crowd is actually bigger.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
you're confusing "want to trade him" with "trade him if the Cubs get a great package of 2-3 young players that's obviously a good deal for the Cubs".
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
it's all the same to me in my broad statement.
i was just generally musing about the tone of the offseason in a twitter-sized comment.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
When the expected return was Jacob Turner and Nick Castellanos, then yes. Otherwise, give him a 4 or 5 year deal.
I think you're confusing the media trying to manufacture news in the offseason for what Cubs fans actually wants. Seamheads know what Garza is worth, and casual fans don't give a fuck about Jacob Who?.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I don't know... there is a big difference between yelling "Trade Garza" and saying, "If you can trade Garza and get 1 stud and 1-2 other impact arms, you should think about it."
I just don't see that many people begging the Cubs to trade Garza. But there are some that say if you can get a great return, you should go for it considering the how unlikely it is for the Cubs to compete this year, and maybe in the 1-3 years beyond that.
I don't want to see Garza traded, but I see the logic behind it and wouldn't be opposed to getting a good package of players in return.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
maybe crunch meant Soriano as the Cubs best player :)
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
i was just making a general comment about the offseason.
castro is arguable the best or 2nd best depending on how you feel about garza. i still think anyone who bought into the j.turner rumors were smoking crack cuz DET would have to be enjoying mad rocks on the daily to trade him for almost anyone. between j.turner and s.miller (unfortunatlely in STL) they're on a tier only over-shaddowed by moore in TB. super-studs...not just "good"
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Castro's busy moonlighting here:
It would probably be best for him to lay low for a while.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
another "why hasn't this guy signed yet" goes down...
"Angels signed RHP Jason Isringhausen to a minor league contract."
dlee and j.damon are still waiting around for something...and j.vazquez might have sneaky retired or something...

Story on Dempster & Miller's Daughters
For the Millers, it's a daily struggle. Trever's wife, Pari, showed her strength during the 2008 American League Championship Series. While Trever and the Rays were celebrating the win at Tropicana Field, Grace was in the stands, choking on her own mucus. She nearly died. Pari performed a trachea change to clear Grace's airway.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
dumpster's daughter is eating and talking now...amazing, really.
it helps to have full time nurses, the best medical care available, and a team of therapists.
Re: Lineups
Sveum for now says DeJesus leadoff man, LaHair cleanup
I presume the rest will look like this
DeJesus, Castro, Soriano, LaHair, Soto, Stewart, Byrd, Barney (maybe flip Soto and Soriano)
Sveum's first test will be if he even thinks about batting Byrd 3rd.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I expect a certain level of awareness from Theocorp. So,He better mean he's batting DeJesus leadoff against right handed starters and somebody else against lefties.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Sveum alleges he doesn't intend to platoon much or change the lineup too frequently.
We'll see of course.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Sveum recants a bit
"Being realistic, I'll probably start with (David) DeJesus leading off, (Bryan) LaHair hitting fourth, and right now after that I don't really know right now," he said. "It might be (Alfonso) Soriano hitting fourth. I'll sit down and we'll iron that all out when we get a little closer here in about 4-5 days."
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
4-5 days? damn.
someone has a vision set in place.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Gon' be a long season.
Blake DeWitt was confused
by DFA process
probably until his agent said, you either take the $1.1M and play in Iowa or look for another job at $500K or less.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Indeed. And, suffice it to say, baseball players are not typically Rhodes Scholars, either.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park

Well, based on the how few people understood it on TCR, I guess TCR readers are not Rhodes Scholars either.

Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
The title of Carrie's blog is interesting. I think they spelled "Bumblings" wrong.
The Hall of Very Good
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Braun won his appeal.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
That's assuming either:
1. Braun is going to continue to juice.
2. Braun will be good enough to carry the team even though he's off the juice.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
MLB release statement "vehemently disagreeing" with the appeal decision.
So much for strongest drug policy.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Braun won on a technicality.
He was challenging not the result, but how it was done.
Sherman saying the arbitrator was for Braun, because it took too long to ship the sample.
Start looking for the hr's and 45 year old power pitchers to come back, you have your loop hole.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
That's still going to result in some really shitty press for Braun. That might affect his season.
Plus, you know, the lower levels of testosterone.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
wonder if PECOTA can calculate that?
I think the Cubs are right in this thing, just need to Gillooly a few NL Central pitchers.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
+1 Using 'Gillooly' as a verb
Re: Plus, you know, the lower levels of testosterone.
Flashback to last spring:
//At the end of last season, Braun was worn down physically, and his weight dropped to around 196 pounds. To combat that, he put on a solid 10-plus pounds of muscle in the offseason and reported to camp this year at 210 pounds. The added weight will help him maintain his strength throughout the season, which should help increase his power numbers back to what he posted earlier in his career.//
And then coincidentally he tests astronomically high testosterone levels the same year
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
Yeah, Braun really sucked before 2011.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I disagree.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
He sure was pretty good before but he sure did have some epic stats last year. Could be a one year blip from natural causes I guess. Not like there aren't people with abnormally good years they never repeat and the Cubs have given contracts to a lot of them.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
/me too
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I should add that coincidentally, post-somone-else's-testosterone Braun is down from 210 last year to 202 this year.
So did he lose 8 pounds of muscle? or fat? or hot air?
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
He shoulda just used the PORN argument, cause we all know that testosterone levels go up when looking at PORN.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
I think he lost 8 pounds of eyeball.

Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
the infamous gopher ball?
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
A very, very shitty change. He's got it in the palm. I was watching it compared with the Brett Myers pitch below it. The author says the Myers pitch was a 83mph crap slider. The Lopez "offering" looks slower than that, although gifs aren't exact science.
Thigh-high and middle-in at 80mph to a LH pull hitter. Missed his spot by a foot. HOW IS THIS FUCKING GUY IN THE BIG LEAGUES
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
here's the video of it...certainly looks like a change as Wes said.
Re: Pilgrims Progress at Fitch Park
"That looked like the Terminator, only slower. Maybe it was his out-of-stater, or it could have been the Hibernator--that baby is definitely going away for the winter. Whatever for [Lopez], it might be see-ya-later. He's probably gonna become a spectator."
Recent comments
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

More turmoil at the Cliburn Foundation
Only six months before the next Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is scheduled to open in Fort Worth, the contest's parent organization is again in turmoil.
Last week, the "Cabinet," the executive committee of the Cliburn Foundation's board of directors, "determined the need to realign the leadership of The Cliburn to improve management's ability to prepare for the 2013 Competition," board chair Carla Kemp Thompson wrote in a letter to the board. "Alann Sampson, continuing as Interim President/CEO, would manage the Competition, and Jacques Marquis, continuing as Interim Executive Director, would manage non-competition programs and services. Both would report to me.
"On Sunday, Alann communicated her resignation to the Cabinet, effective immediately.
"Jacques will assume all leadership responsibilities in his capacity as Interim Executive Director."
Marquis joined the Cliburn in that position in September, after 10 years as artistic and executive director of the Montreal International Competition. Before assuming executive responsibilities, Sampson was a longtime and very active board chair of the foundation.
The Fort Worth foundation, which also sponsors a concert series, an amateur competition and educational activities, has been through a lot of turmoil since 2009, when longtime executive director Richard Rodzinski resigned after the last quadrennial competition. Two other longtime top staff members, manager Maria Guralnik and marketing/PR head Sevan Melikyan, left at the same time. Janice Mayer was brought in to manage the foundation's activities, but didn't last long before a hush-hush resignation. David Chambless Worters then was brought in as executive director, but he left after only six months, again in obviously tense circumstances.

Meet Cathy McMorris Rodgers, in GOP Spotlight
In the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.) will argue that the government should empower individual citizens over itself, emphasizing that trust in individuals is key to helping people find jobs and building a strong middle class, an aide said.
Her address will follow a speech in which Mr. Obama is expected to declare once more his intention to use unilateral presidential authority on a host of issues, sidestepping Congress when necessary.
Though less prominent than the speakers usually chosen for the address, Ms. Rodgers is the highest-ranking woman in a mostly male GOP congressional hierarchy. She is currently in her fifth term and chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, the fourth-ranking member of the party's elected leadership in the House.
But who is Ms. Rodgers? A video on her website, "Meet Cathy," seeks to answer that question. The video shows the congresswoman playing with her children, as she says in a voice-over: "It's the highlight of the day, and it reinforces that I want to be doing everything I can to ensure that they have every opportunity to reach their full potential."

Ms. Rodgers, who hails from Kettle Falls, Wash., gave birth to her third child in November, making her the first woman in history to have delivered three children while in Congress.
In the video, she discusses the diagnosis of her first child, Cole, with Down Syndrome. "It's not what you ever think is going to happen to you or your family," she says. "I'm a better legislator, I'm a better person because of Cole's impact on my life. He gives me a whole new passion."
The video also portrays Ms. Rodgers's humble beginnings as the child of owners of a fruit stand. She became the first person in her family to attend college before meeting her husband—"my Mr. Wonderful," she says in the video.
"I am honored to speak with Americans in every corner of the country on Tuesday and to share our Republican vision for a better future – one that trusts the American people and doesn't limit where you finish because of where you started," Ms. Rodgers said in a statement last week.
Ms. Rodgers was first elected to the House in 2004. She has introduced legislation on health information technology, pediatric research expansion, and physician training in rural areas.
After serving four years as vice-chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, Ms. Rodgers was elected as chairman in November 2012.
She has also served as co-chairwoman of the bipartisan Congressional Women's Caucus, and is currently the co-chairwoman of five congressional caucuses: Down Syndrome, Military Family, Lumber, Neuroscience, and the Rural Health Coalition.
"Cathy McMorris Rodgers is proof that with humility, hard work and dedication, you can overcome any obstacle—a story to which many Americans can relate," House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement last week. "Through the lens of her family's experiences, Cathy will share our vision for a better America built on a thriving middle class, guided by a fierce belief in life and liberty, and grounded in greater trust between citizens and their government."
The role of delivering the GOP response to the State of the Union is a high-profile one that often goes to more prominent politicians with presidential ambitions, such as Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) in 2013. But the platform does not always work to the speaker's advantage—Mr. Rubio's appearance is better remembered for his awkward reach for a water bottle than anything else.
The last time a female Republican lawmaker delivered the party's response was in 2000, when Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) spoke with then-Sen. Bill Frist (R., Tenn.) after President Bill Clinton's address.

For some quick background info, check out Stefan's explanation of what's going to happen in his transition from Channel 8 to Channel 9.
And if you want to try it out for yourself, well then this one's for you.
Oops, something didn't work.
This is not blatant marketing... If it were, it would be void of anything meaningful
Welcome to Channel 9, Max!
Channel 9 is not changing. We're trying to expand the types of content we deliver. Have no fear. There is nothing going on wih Channel 9 that will take away from our core principles. We are experimenting with new content. This does NOT mean we are replacing
what we know you love and have come to expect from us. That is for certain. My advice is to try and have an open mind and tell us when we are missing the mark. We're adults. We can take the criticism. This is where we go beyond the analogy
of Channel 9 (listening in to the cockpit) in that you can actually help us fly the plane.
We will listen and learn. Of that you can be sure. We always have.
Keep on watching,
Hmm - what country are you in? Or more precisely, what country does live.com think you're in?
Cool. I'd have liked to see how it works if there is millions/infinite amount of results as that usually makes scroll wheels unsuitable and standard scroll bar unusable. For this scenario a scroll slider (instead of wheel) similar to zoom controls ranging from say. -64 to +64 and resetting to 0 when released would be a nice to have. There are still common cases where scroll wheel is better. I like the Logitech VS Revolution mouse on paper for incorporating a zoom slider like that in addition to scroll wheel but I haven't got one so I can't tell if it's just a -1,0,+1 (eg. zoom in, do nothing, zoom out) or if it allows more control over the rate of the zoom/scroll action.

On July 20, 2002 my siblings and I sponsored the Second Annual Wamp Swim. The event was hosted by Wampanoag Country Club in West Hartford, Connecticut where we are members and where I coach the swim team. Equipped with caps, goggles and a desire to raise money swimmers ranging in age from four to fifty took to the lanes and raised almost $13,000.00.
In February of 2001 my father Jeffrey was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My siblings; Julianne (17), Christopher (14), Courtney (12), and myself (20), were driven to try and make our situation better. Armed with ambition and not a lot of know-how we were able to combine business with pleasure and raise money to help change the fate of people like our dad. This year armed with even more ambition and a little more know-how I was able to bring in twelve sponsors to donate money as well as goods to make our event a success.
The support of the Wampanoag community, the swim team, the parents, and the employees truly made this event a success. However, more importantly, without the support of the IMF my father might not be as healthy as he is today. We owe a great deal of health and happiness to the IMF and for this we are forever grateful. I have had an amazing experience as a member of the IMF family and know that that will only continue.
From my family to yours,
Thank you

I love this blog! One day Pillsbury posted your Chicken Corodon Blue lasagna recipe... I thought it sounded so good! So I clicked on the link and found your Blog.... I visit several times a week and it encouraged me to share my passion for food as well and start my own facebook fanpage to share recipes with friends and family... I hope it has the success that you blog and facebook page is getting :)

It's basically lasagna coated in bread crumbs, fried, and served on a bed of marinara and alfredo..HELLO! It is so good I can't stand it! Oh, and I found out about your blog from YOU!

Hospital Clinico UniversitarioUniversidad de SalamancaSalamanca, Spain
Note: The IMF did not receive permission to publish either the slides or the audio from this presentation, so we bring you a summary written by our medical writer, Lynne Lederman, PhD.
Like lymphoma, myeloma is probably not a single entity. Dr. San Miguel doesn't believe that low risk disease exists, and prefers categorizing it as standard or high risk. He approaches treatment by first stratifying patients by age and whether or not they are transplant candidates. He also believes there is a role for maintenance therapy. He proposes bortezomib Adriamycin dexamethasone or lenalidomide dexamethasone for induction and MEL200 for transplant candidates with standard risk, followed by thalidomide or lenalidomide with or without prednisone or dexamethasone for maintenance (studies are needed). For early relapse (within a year) non-cross resistant agents followed by reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) may be considered. Relapse within one to three years (intermediate) post-SCT can be treated sequentially with novel agents, with RIC allogeneic SCT in patients less than 55 years of age. For later relapse, he recommends re-induction and a second autologous SCT (ASCT).
For high risk transplant candidates, induction with alternative non-cross-reactive therapies and ASCT or RIC allogeneic SCT OR alternating targeted therapies with standard therapy (induction with a novel agent plus ASCT) is recommended; or these patients can be enrolled in clinical trials. For patients with primary refractory disease, myeloablative therapy supported by ASCT can be an option. For non-responding disease, patients with stable disease do as well as those with chemotherapy sensitive myeloma. However, progressive disease is associated with poor outcome and non-cross-reactive therapy with RIC allogeneic SCT is recommended. In the presence of renal insufficiency, VAD requires no dose adjustment, and bortezomib is effective.
For elderly patients who are not transplant candidates, six cycles of a melphalan-prednisone combination (MP with thalidomide, lenalidomide, or bortezomib, respectively) are good options. Dr. San Miguel suggested MP-V for patients with a risk of thromboembolic events or with poor adherence to oral therapy, MP-R for patients with antecedent peripheral neuropathy, MP with either oral IMiD for those far from a hospital, and MP-T as the lowest cost regiment of these combinations. He believes that lenalidomide with low dose dexamethasone may also be an option for elderly patients, even the very elderly (those over 75 years of age), although reducing the dose of the IMiDs or bortezomib may be appropriate. There are no data for maintenance therapy in the elderly. For newly diagnosed elderly patients in relapse, the condition of the patient must be considered in deciding between active therapy, clinical trials, or less active therapy (e.g., oral cyclophosphamide plus low dose prednisone).

, updated January 23, 2013 at 6:35 AM
In many ways, I am a creature of habit. My wife teases that I am the only adult she knows with a set bedtime. One habit I developed 24 years ago is walking to work almost every weekday. I am tempted to give some lofty motive for this, such as reducing my carbon footprint or strengthening cardiovascular function. These are certainly pleasant dividends but, in reality, I walk to work because I like it.
This routine began out of necessity when we were a one-car family and I had only a two-mile commute from my home in the Town of Tonawanda to the University at Buffalo Main Street Campus. When the second car arrived 10 years later, I realized that I enjoyed my habit, and I continue to walk.
The morning walk gives me time to think about what I want to get done during the day. The return journey allows me to unwind and try to put worries and problems into perspective. Perhaps most interestingly, there is a view of life at foot speed that cannot be readily appreciated in a car.
As is typical of Buffalo, the neighborhoods I pass through on my commute do not turn over rapidly, and so glimpses of the lives of others unfold over time. There is the little boy, flanked by anxious parents, standing at the bus stop. Shirt tucked in, hair slicked down, he proudly carries his backpack for his first day of school. In the spring he is playing football with his buddies without much regard to his appearance, but by summer his hair is all important as he sits close to a girl on the stone wall at the top of University Avenue, laughing and smoking a cigarette.
These glimpses are like a minimalist sketch that suggests a form, but the details are filled in by the mind. I pass an elderly couple on the way home, and the man waves and informs me yet again that he no longer needs to work. One day a group of adults in their 40s shows up at the house for a few days, then leaves, and I do not see the woman again. About a year later the same group appears for a while, and the elderly man is nowhere to be seen. The house goes up for sale. I wonder what the old couple would say if they knew the new occupants do not maintain the house or property as nicely as they had done.
Remarkably, it never really occurred to me for the first 20 years that I, the observer, was also being observed. As if I were one of Dickens' ghosts passing unseen through the lives of others. This illusion burst suddenly one day when I knocked on the door of a house on my route to inquire about replacing the concrete steps in the front of my house. I felt a little smug knowing in advance that the man works in construction and his kids went to the private Catholic school nearby. I watched them grow up.
He answered the door and said, "I know you. I see you all the time." His wife appeared and said the same thing. One of their sons, a University at Buffalo policeman, recognized me as the guy who walked past his house every day when he was growing up.
As I turn onto my street, I think of the times when my kids turned that corner on their bicycles to eagerly greet me. Did anyone see them? Has a commuter felt the passage of time through my children? Can the fullness of their lives be accurately surmised from those brief sketches? After so much time, the roles of observer and participant have blurred beyond distinction. As I walk through other people's lives, I see my own.
Mark O'Brian, who lives in the Town of Tonawanda, has been walking to work in all kinds of weather for nearly 25 years.

"The Cotton Patch Gospel," a musical drama adapted from the books by Clarence Jordan, will be presented by the youth choir and musicians of Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church. Below are the dates and places of the musical drama.
Wednesday, April 17, at 7 p.m. at Gum Spring United Methodist Church, 35 Church Lane, Gum Spring, Va. Admission is free – offering to benefit Randolph-Macon College Habitat for Humanity.
Saturday, April 20, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 21, at 3 p.m. at Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church, 201 Henry Street, Ashland, on the campus of Randolph-Macon College. Admission $5 to benefit youth missions and retreats – children 5 and under are free.
Book by Tom Key and Russell Treyz. Music and lyrics by Harry Chapin.
This "Greatest Story Ever Retold" is based on the book "The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John" by Clarence Jordan in which the Gospel is presented in a setting of rural Georgia with country music songs, the final and perhaps best work of Harry Chapin. This presentation will adapt the story further to the setting of Central Virginia during the Civil Rights era. Herod is the mayor of Richmond and, inevitably, Christ is lynched by local thugs only to rise again.
Youth and adults will enjoy this foot-stomping, hilarious and yet thought-provoking presentation. A freewill offering will be received at the April 17 show in Gum Spring, suggested donation of $5 per person with all proceeds benefiting the Randolph-Macon College Habitat for Humanity. Tickets for the April 20-21 shows at Duncan Memorial UMC are $5 each with all proceeds supporting the youth ministry of Duncan Memorial UMC. For more information, contact the church at email@example.com or (804) 798-7224.

Wando football coach Jimmy Noonan captured the upcoming season in three words during the Warriors' first official team practice Friday morning: "Happy New Year."
After rolling through the regular season with only a loss to national powerhouse Goose Creek – which was later ruled a Wando win because of a Goose Creek rules violation – the Warriors had accomplished the best record in program history.
Then, White Knoll happened. Wando lost its opening 4A state playoff game. "That's 4A football," Noonan said. "Our guys have to know and understand you have to be at your best every single Friday night."
That's in the past now, evidenced by only five returning starters – three on offense and two on defense – from last season. Happy New Year.
"There's always an excitement to get started," he said. "The fresh cut grass – it has not its luster."
Kenny Waring returns to the backfield, which appears to be less crowded than last year. Only a sophomore at the time, Waring emerged as the go-to tailback in the second half of the season, grabbing the job from a few capable seniors.
"He's ready for a great junior year," Noonan said. "He had to share the load last year, but he'll be the main guy."
The starting quarterback job is a battle between a senior, junior and sophomore. Dalton Stubbs, a senior, is the only one with repetitions at the varsity level, but they're minimal. Will Coleman, a junior, transferred from Ashley Ridge. And, sophomore Bailey Hart is also vying for the position. He is Christian Hart's brother, who amassed 2,787 yards, 26 passing touchdowns and a 60-percent completion rate last year.
Every high school program strives for offensive balance, but its rare to accomplish it. Wando's play selections were 50.5 percent run and 49.5 percent pass. Noonan called that "perfect."
"It's tough on the defense when you can actually have true balance. We will seek balance," he said. "Ultimately, we'll have to determine whether we're capable of that."
Nolan Kelleher, a major Division I prospect on the offensive line, enters his senior year with plenty to look forward to. He reduced 26 scholarship offers to eight preferences from SEC and ACC programs. Noonan said he plans to make a decision by the halfway point of the season. He led the team in pancakes (33) and was third in knockdowns (29).
On defense, Wando returns leading tackler Matt Norman and defensive back Chance Price, who had two defensive touchdowns.
Wando is operating on the final season of a two-year schedule cycle. Opponents from last year will be foes again this year. The only changes will be switching home games to away games and vice versa.

9 Regrets Regarding My Illegal Day Care
Hello, parents!
Now that we're well under way for the 2013 day care calendar year, I'd like to take some time to go over some bookkeeping items. There is going to be an $8/student fee for miscellaneous sundries and arts and crafts supplies (discussed in detail below). There is a waiver form attached for a field trip that I'll need returned. And, sadly, there are several apologies that need to be made for the various hiccups that have occurred during this, the first two weeks of the Bucholz Early Learning Experience.
#9. I Am Sorry About the Big Big Savings
This might seem an odd apology, but it gets to the root of some of the issues we've faced this school year. Specifically, I'm sorry that you find it necessary to use a day care in the first place. We live in an era where families require two or even three parents to be earning paychecks to make ends meet, meaning many of you don't even have the option of spending the day with your children. Or you find them so objectionable that you choose not to. Either way, I'm greatly saddened by the circumstances that led you to choose such a suspiciously cheap option for caring for your little treasures.
#8. I Am Sorry About the Facilities
It's not unheard of for there to be a day care with no fixed address; in the time of hunter-gatherer tribes, the children would be left for the day with a group of caretaker adults who would remain somewhat mobile, a tradition that the Bucholz Early Learning Experience is proud to have guessed at without much research, and equally proud to carry on. And for the parents, the benefits of having door-to-door pickup and delivery are hard to deny.
"As you can see by this complicated paperwork, madam, this all looks pretty legit."
I know many of you may be surprised by this, and have assumed that the vehicle taking your child away every morning was just the pickup service and not in fact the entire day care itself, but in my defense, you didn't ask many hard questions, did you?
"$12 a month? Where do I sign?"
As some of you who were early adopters of the Bucholz Early Learning Experience will recall, my initial rolling day care was a 2002 Honda Civic, which, on a simple volume basis (with the rear seats down), I had estimated room for a class of about 25 toddlers. But due to word of mouth and a really shocking lack of judgment in your community, enrollment soon soared, and I was forced to upgrade the facilities.
The Bucholz Early Learning Experience XL, which is what most of you will be familiar with, is the brightly painted dump truck I borrowed from my cousin's failed contracting company. And although it lacks some of the features of the smaller facility, like seat belts and carpeted flooring, and no longer permits the children the simple pleasure of sticking their heads out the window, the extra space allows for a lot more nurturing flexibility. It actually already came with some wooden blocks in there for stacking and just generally having fun with ...
... and my cousin even threw in some arts and crafts supplies.
Meggar via Wikimedia Commons
Well. Mostly just carpenter's glue. But he threw in a lot of it.
#7. I Am Sorry About Gluing All the Children Together
It was the children who did this, really, not me, but that's a fine point that you might not share. I mean, if a drum of wood glue is put in the back of a multi-axle day care being driven by someone missing all sorts of the necessary licenses for doing that, it is arguably not entirely the children's fault when they get glued together.
It took a long time for me to even notice what the children had done, and even then I at first assumed that the children were just teaching themselves about infantry formations from antiquity.

This kind of organic, self-guided learning happens a lot when you put 40 children in the back of a moving vehicle, I've found (for much of the previous week, the children had been teaching themselves about wrestling). It wasn't until an hour after that, when I noticed that none of them had broken rank, that I clued in. (Normally your children lack discipline -- the difference in attitude was remarkable. I'd suggest looking into glue-based punishments at home.)
#6. I Am Sorry I Didn't Cancel the Field Trip
In a sense, every day is a field trip, even if it is just down to the Walmart parking lot. But on this particular day, I had promised the children a fun day at the zoo and wanted to hold my word, glue or no. They were extraordinarily excited, you see, which leads me to think you're not taking your children to the zoo enough. Or, perhaps, you're regularly taking them to a really awesome zoo.
Like one of the ones with giraffe fights.
Because they were not impressed with the zoo I took them to, which was the one off the highway rest stop just north of town. It's more of a grassy area beside the highway rest stop, I know now, but it always looked a lot bigger from the highway. So did the bears actually, which it turned out were just picnic tables.
And one actual bear.

Vincent Oh (IW Product Manager), Stanley Tan (Academic Program Manager) and Chewy Chong (Developer Evangelist) were the first ever to install the newly released Office 2007 in Singapore (and probably all of Asia Pacific). In this quick little video, they brag about this point and show the first DVD made of Office 2007 in Singapore plus the first laptop to receive Office 2007. Vincent also shows us a few quick "cool new features" of Office 2007.
Oops, something didn't work.

The view from a 60-acre farmstead along Mill Road overlooking the hilly terrain just outside the Village of East Aurora is breathtaking. That's why preservationists are adamant about trying to preserve the vista and turn it into an overlook.
But the cost of doing so also is breathtaking – $630,000 – and the Friends of Mill Road need more time to raise money.
Originally, plans called for the land to have been purchased by the end of this month, but the Aurora Town Board voted Thursday to allow a one-year contract extension on the land through 2013.
"We needed more time to continue fundraising," Kathy Lasher, co-chairwoman of the citizens group, told The Buffalo News this week.
The property, known among locals for its tremendous views during all four seasons, sits along Mill between Sweet and Blakely roads. It contains a 180-degree panoramic view to the west, and on a clear day, downtown Buffalo is visible. The ridges that can be seen lead to Knox Farm State Park, and the Mill Road land can be viewed from the park.
Last year, the friends group launched an ambitious capital campaign so that the town can buy the land, but it still needs to raise about two-thirds of the money to acquire the land from two families, build the overlook and negotiate a conservation easement so that it is protected from any development in perpetuity.
The owners of the property – the Closs and Sievenpiper families – are each willing to sell individual portions of their acreage that would total a combined 60 acres.
The families were willing to allow a one-year contract extension to see if the plan could be worked out if enough money is raised.
So far, $220,000 has been raised out of the $630,000 needed for the project.
The group had hoped to be awarded $279,000 in grant money through the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation but has not been successful in that effort.
The plan is for the town to use the money raised to purchase the 60 acres and thereby own it.
A conservation easement that would be held by the Western New York Land Conservancy would be negotiated to ensure the long-term preservation of the property.
