Matt Barnes Rumors
Rosenthal's Latest: M's, Hamels, Kennedy, Markakis, Norris
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has a new notes column posted looking at a number of situations around the league. Here are some quick highlights…
- The Mariners are on the hunt for a right-handed bat, but they prefer Nelson Cruz to signing Hanley Ramirez or trading for Matt Kemp. Justin Upton is also somewhere on their wish list and is potentially available. Rosenthal writes that the Mariners "are going to do something" of significance to address that search.
- The Phillies are doing background work on the makeup of Red Sox prospects Christian Vazquez, Mookie Betts and Matt Barnes, Rosenthal hears, fueling some speculation about a Cole Hamels trade. Rosenthal says the Sox are disinclined to move Vazquez or Blake Swihart, however, and previous reports have indicated that the team is loath to consider parting with Betts. As others have noted, Rosenthal feels that Hamels would likely require the Red Sox to exercise his 2019 option ($20MM) in advance, bringing the total he is owed to $110MM over the next five years.
- The Padres are continuing to listen to offers for Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross and Ian Kennedy, with Kennedy being the most likely of the three to go. Kennedy is projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $10.3MM in 2015, and the Royals are interested in the right-hander. Rosenthal also speculatively lists the Rangers as a club to watch in the Kennedy market.
- A reunion between Nick Markakis and the Orioles seemed like a foregone conclusion at one point, but the two sides still aren't close to a deal and talks are said to be merely "inching along." Rosenthal wonders what's taking so long but does note that the O's are considering Yasmany Tomas and still working with Cruz as well, so it seems fair to speculate that having three options in the corner outfield is slowing the Markakis progress. As Rosenthal notes, the longer the wait, the more likely it is that Markakis explores other options more seriously.
- Since the publication of that column, Rosenthal has tweeted that the Orioles might be willing to move Bud Norris, who is projected by Swartz to earn $8.7MM in 2015. Norris is a free agent next season but pitched well in 2014, posting a 3.65 ERA with 7.6 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 42.2 percent ground-ball rate in 165 1/3 innings. Rosenthal also hears that the O's have gotten "moderate" interest in Ubaldo Jimenez, although with $38.75MM remaining on his contract, I'd imagine he could only be swapped for another bad contract.

Prospect Rumor Roundup: First Half Disappointments
We're just past the halfway mark of the 2013 Major League Baseball season and well past the midway point of the Minor League Baseball season. While taking stock of the top prospects from around baseball, a number of names appear in the "disappointment column," which is not surprising given the general volatility of young players. Below, we take a look at some of the prospects having disappointing seasons, as well as some educated guesses as to what might be ailing them.
Matt Barnes, RHP, Red Sox: Barnes' season hasn't been as bad as some of the other players on this list but it's still been a disappointing 2013 for the right-handed hurler. The former first-round pick was expected to zoom through the minor leagues and possibly even help the big league club this season, but he currently has a 5.32 ERA with 78 hits allowed in 67 2/3 innings at the Double-A level. As the Boston Globe's Julian Benbow explained, Barnes has been working on fleshing out his secondary pitches this season so he doesn't have to rely so heavily on his low-to-mid-90s fastball.
Trevor Bauer, RHP, Indians: Bauer is the perfect example of the volatility of prospects. Selected third overall in the 2011 amateur draft, the right-hander out of UCLA dominated competition during his first taste of pro ball but the wheels fell off the wagon towards the end of 2012. Bauer's issues — both on and off the field — lead to an offseason trade and continued into 2013. His results at Triple-A have been less than ideal. After his most recent disastrous big league start, the young pitcher was returned to the minors and — according to a piece by Sheldon Ocker of the Akron Beacon Journal — he may focus on pitching exclusively from the stretch as a starter.
Kaleb Cowart, 3B, Angels: Los Angeles doesn't have a very deep minor league system whatsoever so when their top prospects stumble, it hurts them more than most organizations. The young third baseman is hitting just .215/.280/.309 at Double-A this season and some adjustments he made during the springtime could be to blame for his slow start. As Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com explained, the switch-hitting Cowart quieted his stance and eliminated the leg kick from the left side of the plate. He's still hitting just .198/.261/.275 versus right-handed pitching so clearly there are more wrinkles to iron out.
David Dahl, OF, Rockies: Like Bauer, Dahl's value is down as a result of well-documented off-the-field actions and maturity concerns. But those aren't the only things that have gone wrong for the outfielder in 2013. In early May, Dahl suffered what was expected to be a pulled hamstring while running the bases. About a week later, though, the prospect revealed on Twitter that his hamstring had been torn and was much more serious than first reported. That halted his season after 10 games (He got off to a late start because of the maturity issues mentioned above) and he hasn't appeared in a game since that time. His timetable for a return to the game is still up in the air.
Billy Hamilton, OF, Reds: Hamilton, 22, hasn't had a terrible year but he has yet to build off of the momentum he created last season when he hit .323/.413/.439 in High-A ball and stole 155 bases between two minor league clubs. Promoted to Triple-A to begin 2013 after spending just 50 games at the Double-A level, the speedy Hamilton has struggled to find his footing at the plate. On the plus side, the shortstop-turned-outfielder has nabbed 50 bases in just 80 games. His stolen base total could become much higher once he improves upon his .300 on-base percentage.
Courtney Hawkins, OF, White Sox: Hawkins has experienced a lot of struggles in his first full professional season. After hitting a combined .284 between three levels during last season's debut, he's batting just .191/.273/.485 with 95 strikeouts in 55 games during 2013. Scott Merkin of MLB.com talked to Hawkins regarding the learning curve he's experienced in High-A ball and how he plans to come out ahead.
Bubba Starling, OF, Royals: Starling opened 2013 with huge expectations surrounding him, but he hit just .195/.263/.379 with a massive strikeout rate in April. As Danny Wild of MiLB.com explained, things got so bad that Starling was sent to have his eyes examined for possible LASIK surgery in May — similar to what the Rangers did with third base prospect Mike Olt. Dick Kaegel of MLB.com later updated the story to report that the outfield prospect underwent the procedure on May 16. In June, after the eye surgery, Starling improved to hit .250/.327/.369 for the month, but he continued to strike out at a similar rate. He also hit jut one home run in 24 games. Clearly, there is more work to be done.
Kyle Zimmer, RHP, Royals: During the first three months of the year, Zimmer posted an ERA of more than 5.00 despite showing the same strong repertoire that caused him to be chosen fifth overall during the 2012 amateur draft. Thankfully, the right-hander may have finally turned a corner in July. He's posted a 2.77 ERA with no walks and 20 strikeouts in 13 innings. On the season, he's now whiffed 103 batters in 84 2/3 innings of work. Jonathan Raymond of MiLB.com spoke to Zimmer, who stated that he's finally becoming comfortable with his pitching mechanics, which is in turn allowing him to provide more consistent command.
A number of prospects have also suffered significant loss in value due to serious injuries. The list of walking wounded include: Dylan Bundy, RHP, Orioles; Travis d'Arnaud, C, Mets; Danny Hultzen, LHP, Mariners; Casey Kelly, RHP, Padres; Hak-Ju Lee, SS, Rays; and Arodys Vizcaino, RHP, Cubs.

AL East Notes: Barnes, Wakefield, Orioles
The latest from the AL East before the first-place Red Sox attempt to complete a sweep of the Yankees in New York…
- Red Sox first rounder Matt Barnes grew up rooting for the Yankees, according to Nicole Auerbach of the Boston Globe. Barnes is preparing to switch his allegiances and he doesn't expect the change to be too difficult, since he has "always respected" the Red Sox.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says he was wrong to question Tim Wakefield's place on the Boston roster earlier this spring. The knuckleballer has a 4.84 ERA with 4.3 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 through 48 1/3 innings this year and is a Hall of Famer in the eyes of Robinson Cano.
- Jim Callis of Baseball America gives the Orioles high marks on their draft, according to MASNsports' Steve Melewski. "They got the best pitcher in the draft and depth after that," Callis said. "They got tremendous quality and quantity."
- Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun says he would have interest in signing J.J. Hardy to a two-year extension if he were running the Orioles. Hardy has a .276/.346/.457 line 131 plate appearances into the season.

Keith Law's Final Mock Draft
Keith Law of ESPN.com has written up his final projections for tonight's draft. Here are some of the latest highlights (Insider subscription needed):
- The D'Backs select UCLA righty Trevor Bauer with the No. 3 pick, meaning two of the first three picks will be Bruins after the Pirates take Gerrit Cole at No. 1 overall.
- The Orioles, turned off by Virginia lefty Danny Hultzen's hefty contract demands, take prep righty Archie Bradley out of Oklahoma at No. 4. Dylan Bundy then falls to the Royals at No. 5, which Law says would be a steal, and Hultzen slides back to the D'Backs at No. 7, a "dream scenario" for Arizona. That could lead to tricky negotiations considering Hultzen's demands and the fact that the pick is unprotected after Barret Loux didn't sign last year, but Bauer and Hultzen would represent quite a boon to the D'Backs' rotation in the near future.
- The Mets meet their organizational mandate to take a pitcher at No. 13, selecting UConn righty Matt Barnes.
- The Brewers, with an unprotected pick at No. 15, need to take a signable player, and may be looking at Vanderbilt righty Sonny Gray or Oregon lefty Tyler Anderson.
- The Red Sox probably won't spend too wildly at No. 19 and could focus on a high-probability player like Alex Meyer of Kentucky as they did a year ago with Kolbrin Vitek.

Draft Prep: Meet The College Righties
In a draft considered by experts to be deep in pitching, six college right-handers possess the talent to rank within the top 20 overall for ESPN's Keith Law, Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein, and Baseball America.
Gerrit Cole, UCLA
Law has Cole going first overall to the Pirates in his most recent mock draft, while Baseball America has him falling to the Royals at #5. Getting Cole is the "dream scenario" for the Royals at #5, according to Law. Cole, who was drafted out of high school by the Yankees in '08, boasts a mid-90s fastball, power slider, and above-average changeup. Experts agree he has the ceiling of a number one starter, and Law says Cole "looks like he could pitch in the big leagues tomorrow if he'd sign soon enough to play." He has, however, struggled with his command at times and hasn't delivered results on par with his abilities. Cole is advised by the Boras Corporation. He has been stingy on providing interviews, but MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith spoke to him in March.
Trevor Bauer, UCLA
Law believes the Diamondbacks could consider Bauer at #3 if Danny Hultzen is gone, but projects him going to the Nationals at #6. Law does not expect Bauer to make it past the Indians at #8. BA went with the Nats in their mock draft. Bauer has been worked heavily and has unorthodox workouts and mechanics. He's said by BA to pattern himself after Tim Lincecum. Bauer comes with lots of strikeouts, good velocity, a plus-plus curveball, an above-average changeup, and a few other pitches too. MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo spoke to him a few days ago.
Taylor Jungmann, Texas
Law projects the Brewers taking Jungmann at #12, with the Mets an option at #13. BA guesses the Astros will take him at #11. Law says the 6'6" Jungmann sits at 91-93 with a hammer curveball and strong command. A few mild concerns have been raised about his delivery, and Goldstein questions whether he has "star-level upside."
Matt Barnes, Connecticut
Law notes that the Padres have interest at #10, which is BA's choice in their mock draft. Barnes draws praise for his fastball and curveball, while questions remain about his command, mechanics, and secondary stuff.
Alex Meyer, Kentucky
Law names the Athletics at #18, the Red Sox at #19, and the Nationals at #23 as possibilities for Meyer, while BA takes the Angels at #17. The 6'9" righty owns a mid-90s fastball and plus-plus slider, but Goldstein finds his performance inconsistent and all gurus say his command is lacking. There is number one starter upside here, says Law. Meyer, who turned down $2MM from the Red Sox as a 20th round pick out of high school three years ago, is advised by the Boras Corporation.
Sonny Gray, Vanderbilt
Gray could be Arizona's choice at their unprotected #7 spot, says Law, while the Padres could be a fit at #10. He's mentioned the Cubs at #9 previously. BA went with the Brewers at #15. Gray is 5'11", but he pitches at 91-94 with what Law describes as a "knockout breaking ball." The idea has been floated that Gray could end up a late-inning reliever. Talking to Ben Nicholson-Smith in February, Gray said he prefers to start but considers himself versatile and enjoyed his time in the bullpen.

2 guilty of killing girl, 9, as she bathed dogs outside S. Side home
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Court Reporter March 26, 2014 3:57PM
Chastity Turner
Article Extras
Updated: April 28, 2014 10:32AM
Nine-year-old Chastity Turner was giving her pit bulls "Pinky" and "Diamond" a bath before a hail of the bullets intended for her drug-dealing father and his cohorts pierced her in the back on a hot summer evening in Englewood five years ago.
On Wednesday, the man behind the wheel and one of the gunman in the deadly June 24, 2009 drive-by shooting were found guilty of murdering Chastity as she tried to escape the violence in front of her father's home, in the 7400 block of South Stewart.
"We are finally at peace. . . . It's a bittersweet day for us," Chastity's aunt Royennea Petty said after Ronald Henderson, 33, and Kevin Stanley, 31, were convicted of murder and attempted murder charges.
"I think she's [Chastity] smiling down [on us]," Petty said.
Chastity was a casualty of the drug turf war her Gangster Disciple father, Andre, was embroiled in, Cook County prosecutors said earlier in closing arguments.
Stanley and Henderson knew Chastity was situated near their targets but they "didn't care," Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Lattanzio said.
"The motive was greed and taking control of the block. . . . Money sales were number one. Drug sales were number one," Lattanzio said.
Defense attorneys Lawrence Beaumont and Mark Kusatzky tried to discredit Andre Turner's testimony but jurors apparently agreed with the prosecution's account of how Henderson and Stanley killed Chastity, and left her father and two others injured in the spray of gunfire.
Outside court, Chastity's mother Lakeisha Edward, 35, said Wednesday's verdicts brought "closure" for her and her family.
A third man, Davionne Whitefield, 22, is awaiting trial.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration says it's delaying a major part of the president's health care overhaul law, the requirement that medium and large companies offer coverage.
In an announcement late Tuesday from the Treasury Department, the administration said it has heard requests from business groups for additional time to comply and will grant another year.
The health law requires companies with 50 or more workers to offer affordable coverage to their employees or face potentially large fines if just one worker ends up getting taxpayer-subsidized insurance.

The Latest 'It' Item, 2009-Style: a Budget
Budget. It's an old-fashioned word that has come back into favor these days, the latest item everyone needs. Everyone's suddenly aware that their paycheck -- if they still have one -- cannot be stretched to buy everything they see and want. In fact, many budgets cannot even be stretched to cover the basic necessities.
When faced with the new economic realities you have two choices: bury your head in the sand and just keep writing checks and charging purchases until the money runs out. Or take a close and accurate look at what's coming in, and where it's going out!
That close look is called a "budget." A budget is like a roadmap or online directions from Mapquest or your car's route guidance system. You wouldn't drive blindly, without directions, simply hoping to get to your destination. In that same sense, a budget is designed to give you both a starting point and guidance to help you get where you want to go.
So let's take a look at the two basic steps to making a budget -- and some tools and products that can make the job much easier.Step 1: Where are you now? The first step is actually writing down what you own and what you owe. This may be the most difficult step, but all it requires is a sheet of paper with a line drawn down the middle. Now sit down at the kitchen table, pile up your bills and take a closer look. Take a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle. Make two columns, one for the total amount you owe and the interest rate on the debt. Next to that make another column for the minimum monthly payment on everything you owe, including your monthly mortgage payment.

Another brick in the growing wall: Prison wardens and their staffs are lining their stand up to the current string of claims for better conditions. Their original trade mark: the ruling power is being granted a 72 hours long deadline in order to comply. Jail guards are, technically speaking, not allowed to tackle strikes. They did though. Could the ruling power dare the odds and challenge them, their reaction would be fully unpredictable.
The armed forces were entitled to nearly whatever they wanted for having partly supported and partly not opposed the putsch conducted in March 2009. The High Authority of Transition used to focus on this priority out of fear of a potential immediate danger for its rule and generously stuffed its single genuine supporter. Practitioners, paramedics, school teachers and forests management department agents, all of them equally calling upon concrete improvement to reflect on their paycheck, are definitely not a big deal to the transitional regime compared to the army's relevance. Although, continuously stacking up claims are just as so definitely overwhelming the transitional power. The trend must have inspired prison wardens. The armed forces defending the ruling power got what they wanted, so why not civil servants supposed to serve the people?

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

I do not want to unwish my daughter away but i wish i've married someone else, the occassional note, breakfast in bed, happy mothers day card, flower, planned activities for the weekend, more involvement and interest in raising our daughter, someone who doesnt think my gifts and cards are a joke, who didn't tell me that the reason why he does not introduce me to his friends is because i embarass him.
I kiss him everyday but the disdain and resentment grows steadily. I don't feel so much love more going through the
Motion kind of obligation. I wish it weren't this way but it is and i am a hypocrite.
I pray after every unkind word or action that I will not love him anymore so it hurts less everytime he walks out of the door. I think it's working.
I want to bring up my daughter, let her go to uni and carve out a life for herself and be self sustainable. When she does, i will leave to see the world, i will volunteer and teach and meet people who love my company and make me laugh.
For now, i feel like i am bound by oath to stay. I will be saving money to bring my daughter up. 2 years ago
I know that now. You don't know what you're getting into until you're already there. In laws will always take their son or daughter's 'side' and divides just happen in families. I no longer look at divorce as giving up, but as an option to make one happier. 2 years ago

|We've 'bid' on a couple of short sales but our offer wasn't enough. We are about to do it again, but I have a few questions.
One, is that they just raised the asking price. We were told the bank wants more money from buyer as the seller can't pay more. ok...
we may be able to offer more, but if we do and the house comes back not worth that much (which we believe is the case), what happens with the homes actual value?
also, doesn't that raise the taxes?, as the house will of sold for MORE than the appraisal comes back?
I don't mind (ok, I do), paying off the sellers debt, but I sure in the heck mind paying more in taxes for a home that is NOT worth what it will sell for.
We were already told the house appraised out for less then the asking price. Now, the bank raised it.
It needs a lot of updating, which is up my alley, so I don't mind that, but the taxes worry me.
Does someone know the answer to this???
Follow-Up Postings:
|The tax question is a matter of location. In my area, county appraisals are based on sale price, then adjusted from there. So, yes, if it "sold" for more than it would normally appraise for, you will be paying more taxes.
In other areas, sales price has no effect on county taxes. So you need to know how it works in your area.
More to the point, though, are you buying this with cash? Because if not, there is no way a bank will lend you money for more than it will appraise.
|Some places use actual sale prices as the tax valuation, others use an average of sale prices in defined (at least at the tax office) adjusted for amenities (bedrooms, bathrooms, lot area, age of the structure, phase of the moon, whatever method they are allowed to use.
Virginia generally requires averaging spread over some method (that the tax office does not want to discuss) but other places use sale prices.
One thing that is common in areas that use 'market value' is that they often hold the valuation low enough to avoid a lot of appeals.
I have never had a property (VA, NH, and other places) I would sell for the tax appraisal.
It makes it hard to argue your valuation is high.
|but I sure in the heck mind paying more in taxes for a home that is NOT worth what it will sell for
Pretty hard to argue that it is not worth what it will sell for. What other method would you use to calculate what it is worth?
- Posted by ready2moves (My Page) on Fri, Sep 7, 12 at 14:05
|where we are looking, the selling price is what the taxes are based on. I just find it not fair, as the house will NOT appraise out on the price we need to pay for it. We won't get it unless we pay the seller's debt, basically.
we are looking at about 20 to 30K more to pay to get the seller out of debt. The taxes are really a lot on that selling price. I think the bank is unfair, they got themselves into it, not me. Also, why can't the bank go after the home the seller's are living in now, or some of their fancy toys?
sorry, to complain. :)
I may just look at another house, but, i like this one.
PS, it also needs updating to at least $50...
- Posted by ready2moves (My Page) on Fri, Sep 7, 12 at 14:06
$50K not $50
|Why would you pay more for the house that it's worth? Is it the only suitable house for you?
|Why not discuss this property with the local tax assessor, who would be able to answer many of your concerns.
If you then still wish to proceed with making an offer, offer only what you are comfortable with. Quite often banks take a hard stand and then back down when a solid contract is presented. Also, are you quite sure that your realtor is working on your behalf? Just askin'.
|" I just find it not fair, as the house will NOT appraise out on the price we need to pay for it. We won't get it unless we pay the seller's debt, basically. "
Souns like the owner is under water owes more than market value0.
Time for them to cough up money or start chasing a short sale if they MUST sell.
It is not your responsibility in any way to make up for the present owners problems.
THEY screwed up, one way or another.

Mayoral aide: No regrets about on-time Bears start, delay as storms rolled in
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter November 18, 2013 4:58PM
Gary Schenkel, executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications | Sun-Times files
Article Extras
Updated: December 20, 2013 6:27AM
The city, the Bears and Soldier Field management made the decision to start Sunday's game on schedule instead of delaying the start time until the storm passed, and it was the right call, a top mayoral aide said Monday.
Gary Schenkel, executive director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications said City Hall "always retains the right" to delay or postpone major events because it has "proactive and eminent responsibility" to protect the citizens of and visitors to Chicago.
But the noon start was allowed to proceed as planned because there was no justification for a delay, Schenkel said.
"I don't regret that decision in any way shape or form. There were no imminent threats when they started the game. We took all of our weather reports [into account], working with the National Weather Service and AccuWeather and, at the time the game started, there was no imminent threat that we would have to make a decision on an evacuation at that time," Schenkel said Monday.
"We proactively reminded all the residents of the city far in advance of the game that there was a possibility of severe weather. We still had 58,000 show up for the game. We did not feel at that point that anything warranted a delay or cancellation."
On Sunday, officials at Soldier Field portrayed the decision to start the game on time — forcing a mandatory evacuation of the stands during the first quarter — as the NFL's call.
As always, Schenkel said City Hall will do a post-mortem to review the extraordinary evacuation and determine what the city might have done differently.
But playing Monday-morning quarterback, Schenkel sounded as proud of the city's performance as backup quarterback Josh McCown was about the Bears' overtime victory over the Ravens.
"There are always ways to improve anything. But, we were very pleased with the evacuation. It was orderly. Everybody was cooperative. No one was injured or even hurt. I would call that a success. It was a great example of how we all work together," Schenkel said.
What about fans who complained that it took too long to evacuate fans from the stands?
"At times of duress, people's time frames aren't necessarily accurate. It's like people saying it took 10 minutes for police to get there and, when we look at the recordings, it was actually a minute and a half," he said.

I have been using this and other rusk shampoos on and off for years, and I always come back to it. Its sulfate free, which is very important to me. It smells delicious (especially the light blue one with ginseng) and my bf loves it. He started using it when we started living together and hasn't stopped.
It doesn't lather too too much, which could be a downside for some, but coming from someone who is used to sulphate free shampoos, I love it regardless. Just because something doesn't lather, doesn't mean its not cleaning your scalp. It does a wonderful job of getting rid of the excess oils but leaving the beneficial ones. I have even applied coconut oil masks to my hair previous to washing with this and have come out of the shower grease and buildup free.
All in all a gentle and lovely product. Will always repurchase!
Ps- the matching conditioner is very very light. I usually skip buying it and settle for Joico sulfate free conditioners.
PPS- to be more helpful, my hair is fine, color treated, oily root/dry ends and wavy. People with different hair texture may get different results with this shampoo.

I used this shampoo for about two weeks or three weeks. I will say it cleanses very well, has a great, light scent, and a good lather. But my hair started falling out in handfuls. Every time I ran my fingers through my hair, I would get at least 6 or 7 strands. In the shower it looked like there were tiny hamsters coming out of my head. And then my scalp got insanely itchy and red and super irritated. I stopped using it and it went away in about a week. My hair still fell out though for a few weeks. Might have just been something my scalp didn't agree with, but I absolutely hated this shampoo.

I've been using this shampoo over two years now, on my double-processed hair, have bought a few bottles. It does not strip my color and gets my scalp really clean. This was recommended to my by the staff at ULTA when I asked for a clarifying shampoo for fragile, bleached hair. I am happy they turned me on to this shampoo.

I usually like Rusk and what it does for my hair, however, this Shampoo does nothing! It doesn't lather, and it makes my hair very dry. I was very surprised, however, the smell is nice, and the conditioner is pretty nice as well. Overall not the best, but not the worst.

I love Rusk's Calm shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling fresh, soft, clean, and moisturized. My hair color looks gorgeous when I use this. My hair is wavy-straight, color-treated, fine, oily at roots, dry at ends, prone to frizz. For my hair type, I definitely experience above-average results when using this. And it smells amazing, as well.

For the love of all that is holy, do NOT get any of this shampoo in your eyes! The burning!
That being said, this works well as an everyday shampoo for normal hair. It contains sulfates but it doesn't have silicones (a combination that I look for in a shampoo). It cleans my hair, although it can have tendency to make it somewhat on the dry side, so I try to use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards. It's not the most exciting shampoo, since it doesn't really do anything special. But I personally don't need my shampoo to have lots of bells and whistles. I just want something to clean my hair effectively, which this seems to do.

This shampoo is nice, nothing extraordinary, but for someone like me, this is fine. My hair is medium in length and also medium in texture. It does a good job of cleaning my hair without stripping it. I have a natural wave to my hair and this shampoo seems not to weigh it down. The smell reminds me of summer which I love! All in all a fairly nice shampoo, plus I got it on sale so the price was right as well. I don't believe I would pay full price for this product, but if I ever happen across it on sale again, I will probably pick it up.

I really don't like this shampoo. No matter how much I use, my hair doesn't feel 'clean.' It also seems to dry my hair out. I would not buy again.

I really like this so far! it feels like a deep clean, but not drying. I think the smell is just ok, nothing to write home about :) but still nice! (other reviewers rave about the scent) I am writing this review based solely on the shampoo- I don't like conditioners unless they are leave in sprays. I like that you only have to use a little bit and it lathers up really well. I think I prefer the ammonium, to the sodium L sulfate in some 'poos and doesn't irritate my scalp (so far) I bought this because it said CALM.. and my previous 'sls free' infusium23 was making me itchy. I will update more after I use about half the bottle. I would definitely repurchase, although I have my first attempt at L'anza brand of shampoo coming in the mail very soon!-- this gets good reviews on this site :) This Rusk feels like an elegant shampoo lol!! I paid like 11.99 for it.. I don't know how some people only paid like 2$!!!!! how and where?? :) **** EDIT**** ok so today I showered and left the shampoo on for like 10 seconds like usual.. and it BURNED.. so I researched the Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and it says that it's synonymous with SULPHURIC ACID!!! WTF!!!! no wonder it burned my eyes wayyyy more than normal omg. here;s the website
this is now my new dish soap/house cleaning product because I do like the smell. LOLOL!!!

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium Eyes: Blue
After running out of Aussie Moist shampoo and conditioner, I decided to switch products because I don't like using a specific product for too long. First I tried Organix Acai Berry Avocado shampoo and conditioner, but I didn't like the way my hair felt when using those. So, I decided to try Rusk's Calm shampoo and conditioner, and I do not like this product either! For about the first 7-9 hours after I wash my hair with them, my hair is smooth and silky and overall just nice feeling. But around 10 hours after I wash my hair, my hair is greasy in the roots! And I don't have supremely oily hair either, typically it will get greasy about a day after I wash it. I'm really sad that it makes my hair greasy because other than that, I didn't have problems with it and it made my waves/curls look really pretty. I'll probably end up giving this product to someone else because I do not want to use it on my hair.

market advocates often refer to the danger of "unintended consequences."
They warn that prohibitions, regulations, and licensing schemes
— for all the alleged good they will do — can have negative side
impossible to know every possible consequence. A few are
suggested; mostly I try to point out the general foolishness of
government micromanagement.
the February 2007 issue of Freedom Daily, published by the
Future of Freedom Foundation, my commentary "Taxicab
Absurdity" addressed my local government's ridiculous policy
of aggressively targeting and harassing unlicensed taxicab operators
within the city limits of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
energy, resources and manpower are being employed to reassure a
trembling public — apparently in need of constant reassurance —
that this menace will not be tolerated!
like "crackdown" and "sting" were used in a
riveting November 30 story in the Portsmouth Times describing
the threat and the important service being provided by our local
police department in combating it. The news story reported that
the "now defunct" Lighthouse Taxi Company was "busted"
in 2005 for the heinous crime of "picking up a passenger at
a local hotel and taking the person to the airport."
mention of how licensing ordinances such as this one — a protectionist
racket if ever there was one — actually contribute to a company's
becoming u2018defunct'," I wrote in response.
past all the altruistic fanfare that surrounds licensing proposals
and it's not hard to see that limiting competition is often a major
motivator — and limiting supply is always the result. This works
out well for those who can pay all of the fees and jump all of the
bureaucratic hurdles, but the rest of us pay a higher price, usually
in the form of steeper fares and poorer service.
my lack of surprise, then, when I saw the following in the July
13 issue of It's Portsmouth, another community paper, in
a story titled "City bars want help policing drinkers":
than 50 city restaurant and bar owners who met with city police
and a State Liquor Commission representative Monday will form a
group to work closely with police to solve problems associated with
intoxicated customers," the paper reports. "The restaurateurs
and bartenders said they try to make sure those who are intoxicated
take taxis. However, they said, there are not enough taxis in Portsmouth
to take people home from the bars at closing time"!
central planners harass and run out of business taxi operators who
are just trying to make a living providing a truly valuable service
— and then wonder how an important demand is not being satisfied.
People ought to be responsible, and avoid drinking and driving.
The best way to do that is to take a cab, and the market was providing
plenty of those before City Hall got in the way.
next time some boozer looks around in vain for a taxi and then drives
home instead, thank the Portsmouth City Council and Police Department.
By limiting supply, the city government encourages drunk driving
and makes the roads less safe for everyone. The price of taxi service
just went up some more.

If you are storing card information electronically on your internal systems, you are required to complete the most complex SAQ D (requires scanning) no matter what processing method was selected above. Therefore if you are storing card data, you should contact us right away to discuss payment solutions that meet your needs while eliminating both the risk and compliance headaches that doing so creates.
Once you have completed your PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) you may find that your business requires vulnerability scanning. The scan is non-intrusive and does not invade your network while running.
Need help?
If you need personal assistance, call ControlScan at 800-370-9180 or contact Vantage client services at 800-397-2380.
Merchants may choose to complete an SAQ on their own and can work with any PCI vendor they choose should a system scan be required. Vantage provides the ControlScan service to help our clients meet PCI compliance at a reasonable price. Merchants can opt out of using the ControlScan service, by providing a copy of their PCI Validation certificate with an alternative vendor.
Every merchant is different, some are a greater risk than others. For example, only those merchants conducting payment processing over the internet (verses dial up connections) require a system scan. As a market leader in PCI compliance, ControlScan will help your business achieve and maintain PCI compliance with the SAQ and vulnerability system scanning (Scan), both designed to uncover security gaps and provide best practices to prevent data compromise. Additional tools include a Security Policy Builder and an Internal Security Awareness training program.
Please remember, there is a difference between security and compliance. While PCI compliance is a mandated point-in-time measurement of your security readiness, the underlying security requirements must be adhered to on a daily basis. In the event of a data compromise, merchants face significant fees and fines. The PCI DSS Validation does not affect your responsibilities associated with your merchant account in the event of a data compromise.

Pharmacist Dr. John Agyemang was working his shift at Jolin's Pharmacy in Winslow, N.J. when an armed robber entered the store and demanded Oxycontin pills. Agyemang responded by retrieving a gun and firing at the criminal, who fled to a bike and into a nearby wooded area.
An investigation revealed that Agyemang had a firearm owner's identification card as required by New Jersey law. When asked about his actions Agyemang was humble, stating, "I'm no hero, but I thought, either him or I." (CBS News, 09/14/12)

To say Wesleyan had its work cut out for it week-in and week-out during the 2010 campaign, might be an understatement. As was the case with all NESCAC squads, the competition faced within the conference was second to none last year as nine of the member colleges, including non-playing member Hamilton, were ranked among the top-25 at some point in 2010. As 2011 unfolds, nothing much has changed as eight squads holds top-20 spots, meaning another ultra-challenging season for the Cardinals against the nation's best.
With four of the team's NESCAC losses to nationally ranked opponents coming by five goals or less, and two of those (Bowdoin and Amherst) by a single goal, the Cardinals know they can play with the best and the return of 12 letterwinners and eight starters gives the team a solid nucleus to go out and do some damage. Team tri-captains Allie Lynch '11 (#10, left side photo) and Jess Chukwu '11 (#23, right side photo) were outstanding achievers in 2010 as Lynch set school records for single-game (8), seasonal (44) and career (70) assists while Chukwu, with 31 goals, was a second-team all-NESCAC choice. They will continue to pace the attack. Lynch, with 107 career points, ranks ninth all-time at Wesleyan. Should she come through with her average of 35 points in 2011, she will move into third place. Chukwu, with 81 goals and six assists, is looking to become just the 12th Cardinal to amass 100 career points and only the fourth to crack the century mark for career goals. Claire Hunter '11 (photo lower middle), the team's third captain, will serve as an inspirational leader as she is unable to compete this year.
Others seasoned starters back for the Cardinals include Liz Chabot '12, Catherine Taibi '13, Kayla Ellman '13, Lydia Kring '13, Kaylin Berger '13 and goalie Maggie Drowica '12. Also back with solid playing experience are Claire O'Brien '12, Emma Daniels '13, Alexa Narzikul '12 and Eliza Ruggiero '13. Add in the talent of eight freshmen and Wesleyan hopes to be able to go toe-to-toe with its NESCAC rivals. In the preseason IWLCA poll, Hamilton (still a non-playing conference member until 2012) is #2, Trinity is #7, Colby is #8, Williams is #9, Tufts is #12, Middlebury is #14, Amherst is #18 and Bowdoin is #19. Wesleyan also faces #16 Babson in a non-conference matchup, meaning more than half of the Cardinals' contests in 2011 are against ranked opponents.
Wesleyan gets the schedule underway Sat., March 5 with a visit to non-league rival Eastern Connecticut. The home slate begins Sat., March 12 vs. Bowdoin in the opening NESCAC contest.
