Position analysis: Bullpen
Oct 19, 2012, 11:00 AM EDT
US Presswire photo
Drew Storen will try to bounce back from his blown save in Game 5 of the NLDS.
As we transition into offseason mode, we'll start by breaking down the Nationals' roster by position (infield, outfield, catcher, rotation and bullpen) this week and examine where things stand at season's end and where things might stand moving forward. Today's position: The bullpen…
Stats: 3-1, 2.37 ERA, 4 SV, 30.1 IP, 0.989 WHIP, 7.1 K/9, 2.4 BB/9
2012 salary: $498,750
Contract status: Arbitration-eligible (Super 2), free agent in 2017
Where he fits in: Everything was going swimmingly for Storen, who had finally made it all the way back from his elbow surgery and had pitched brilliantly down the stretch. Over a 17-inning stretch from Sept. 3 through Game 4 of the NLDS, he allowed one run on nine hits, walking only one batter while striking out 17. But then came his disastrous ninth inning in Game 5, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth for the winter. Can Storen bounce back from that crushing loss? He certainly seems to have the right mindset to do it. And the Nationals certainly have confidence in the young right-hander to return to form.
Stats: 2-6, 3.72 ERA, 32 SV, 72.2 IP, 1.156 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, 3.6 BB/9Read more »

So I guess I may be the odd guy in that I would prefer the Cards win this whole thing knowing that the Nats had every opportunity to close them out and didn't. I didn't take offense to the stuff the Cards said after beating the Nats because most of it was true. I firmly believe the experience will make the Nats mentally tougher and go along way to driving them to the Division crown again. Much more to follow over the coming days now that I've fully recovered from my playoff hangover.
- Traveler8 - Oct 20, 2012 at 2:38 PM
I don't care who wins, just enjoying good baseball which is what we are seeing, but otherwise I think your views are spot-on, NatsJack.
- Gonat - Oct 20, 2012 at 2:47 PM
I agree NatsJack. Their feedback is what the Nats had to hear and especially Gio on the "smelling blood" and while Davey doesn't give a rats a$$ maybe an ole dog can learn new tricks.
- Gonat - Oct 20, 2012 at 2:50 PM
The Giants beat the Reds from down 2 and facing 3 straight elimination games to take the series 3-2.Hard to imagine that they take 3 in a row from the Cardinals and now they have to win 2 in a row back in San Fran to do it.
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 20, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Actually, Gonat, I'm waiting to see if the Cards can close out without the game being an elimination game.And then, if not, which team will be the first to lose an elimination game.But before all that, I have a little Gator game to enjoy as I, hopefully, get to see Spurrier lose one in the Swamp.
- Gonat - Oct 20, 2012 at 2:58 PM
No baseball today unless we head to Arizona! Good luck with the Gators!
- SonnyG10 - Oct 20, 2012 at 3:43 PM
NatsJack, I wouldn't mind seeing the Cards win it all because they are the only team to beat us in the playoffs, and I think that would raise our status…in my mind anyway.I have re-watched the eighth and ninth innings of our game 5 with the Cards and I must say the Cards are incredibly lucky to win that game. Sure, they were good, but dumb blind luck is the only reason they came out on top.There is a silver lining in this. Davey will want to come back because he feels there is unfinished business. Also, before this season we only had a couple of players with playoff experience. Now we have a whole team with playoff experience.Baring injuries, I think we will win 106 regular season games in 2013. That's eight games more than this year, which is reasonable considering Strasburg will be stronger and our youngsters will have developed another year. Our dominance is just beginning folks.
- baseballswami - Oct 20, 2012 at 3:58 PM
SonnyG — Agree so much that there was some magic involved in the Cards comeback. So many people were focused on the end of the last game — I was looking at the slow bleeding that happened almost immediately after we scored those runs and how we never added on. I was also thinking of the two games we lost badly. Can't leave it until the 9th inning of the last game so that one lucky break can turn it the other team's way. You have to take care of business early on so that it isn't a factor and so that you have a large margin for error to compensate for those things happening. I always love watching the playoffs and was not going to miss it this year despite my disappointment. Playoff baseball is usually exciting. Detroit/Yankees not so much, but NL has been a good battle. Anyone read Boz today about the top payroll teams? Good stuff. Building a team is just a weird science experiment.
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 20, 2012 at 4:09 PM
I wish everybody would let go. The Nats got to their closer with a two run lead. Losing in that situation is damn near inexcusable.
- baseballswami - Oct 20, 2012 at 4:22 PM
NatsJack – yes, the closer has turned out to be the in-your- face symbol of failure,the image burned into everyone's brain, but most of the Nats weren't up to the task this year. I consider this to be valuable training for all of them, players and coaches alike. At some point they just had to experience it and take this step. Now they know and maybe next year they will know how to keep themselves contained a little better. I hope they are watching so that they can see what it takes to climb this mountain successfully. I am looking forward to seeing how this entire season's experience will show up in our players next year in terms of maturity and focus. I think some of them have grown up several years all in one year.

So much for getting Chris Young. Billy Beane got him…D'Backs Acquire Heath Bell In Three-Team DealBy Zach Links [October 20, 2012 at 3:19pm CST]The Diamondbacks announced that they have acquired Heath Bell and cash considerations from the Marlins in a three-team deal with the Athletics. Miami will recieve minor league infielder Yordy Cabrera from the A's and Oakland will get outfielder Chris Young from Arizona.
- baseballswami - Oct 20, 2012 at 8:32 PM
So the Hot Stove is heating up already? I think Heath Bell could not wait to leave Miami. Not many folks around today, but, if you know the answer to this – don't we have some kind of deadline coming up? I think it's four days after the series ends and it involves picking up options? Is that the category ALR is in? tick tock tick tock tick tock
- NatsLady - Oct 20, 2012 at 8:33 PM
Can't figure out why Arizona would take Heath Bell, though (even with cash). They picked up the option on Putz.
- baseballswami - Oct 20, 2012 at 9:30 PM
I am just guessing but I did seem some stuff on twitter that indicates people thought he was only bad because Miami was a bad fit all the way. I guess Arizona really thinks he still has the goods and can turn it around?
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 20, 2012 at 10:07 PM
Start with Dade Co. doesn't allow Pit Bulls which meant he had NOT buy the house his wife wanted and now had to buy in Broward. I don't know about you but if you don't like my dogs and then you make my wife unhappy……well lets just say this isn't srarting out well.Poor Heath Bell.

I meant he "COULD NOT" buy.
- baseballswami - Oct 21, 2012 at 12:23 AM
NatsJack – that is quite humorous – I was not aware of the terrible conditions under which this over-paid athlete had to operate. No wonder he couldn't do his job – I mean really. I guess playing for Ozzie wasn't a factor? And I know a couple of gamecock fans that went to Fla to the game. ouch.
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 1:29 AM
Agreed, swami. I've always kinda liked the guy, and he took a lot of [stuff] from fans over the years. Strikes me (no pun intended) as a smart guy, both on and off the field.baseballswami said… It was nice to see Zito have that redemption game. It was also nice to see an older pitcher, trying to stay in the game by being smart. He threw from 75 to 86 and fooled some very good hitters with location and by keeping them off balance. That Rosenthal kid from the Cards that throws flame made another appearance. Not looking forward to seeing him next season. He has HRod stuff, but with control and poise. October 20, 2012 9:16 AM

- BigCat - Oct 21, 2012 at 2:11 PM
Phil Wood has an an article in todays Examiner about how the Nats should consider The Tiger's Alvarez as a FA this winter. Have not seen him throw. Have to watch him in the series
- Gonat - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Natslady, Glad Chris Young went to the AL. He was always a Nats killer even when he was in a slump.Billy Beane smells success in a AL West where they already slayed Texas in 2012.Cespedes turned out to be a steal for them but I think they were still over-achievers much like Showalter's team. Good outfield, poor infield, and pitchers that were good at times and poor at others. Which pitching staff will they have in 2013?

Nationals are now being mentioned as a BIG MARKET CLUB? How quickly things change!http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/10/boras-hints-that-rafael-soriano-will-opt-out-of-contract.html"There is a strong chance that he would have tremendous value as a free agent," said Boras. Sherman notes that big market clubs like the Angels, Dodgers, Nationals, Red Sox, Giants, and Tigers could all be in the market for a high-end closer this winter.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:33 PM
NatsJack's comment at 12:09 will foreshadow the off-season shocker as Scott Boras will prepare his portfolio titled "Closer Fail" as the reason the Nats didn't win the World Series this year and make the focus on 2 of his client's (Madson and Rafael Soriano) while smearing the competition CAA (Storen) and Elite (Clippard).For overkill, why not an all Boras outfield with Bourn, Werth and Harper.You know these rumors will reach the Hot Stove.
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Agreed.SonnyG10 said… Man, we need a new thread. October 21, 2012 9:48 AM
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:43 PM
I put Elite instead of Excel for Clippard as his agent is Casey Close who was formerly head of CAA and now head of Excel.
- SCNatsFan - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:53 PM
I couldn't care less if we have an all Boras team as long as he keeps signing superstars
- Gonat - Oct 21, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Stoke up the Hot Stove!SteveM, I think you are correct in what NatsJack said as the Storen blown save will be the focus for Boras pushing an agenda whether right or wrong. Boras has 2 closers that will need a home.Like Baseballswami has said, you can't push all the blame on Storen although that could be the easiest to scapegoat Druuuuuuu and yes, SteveM, why should Boras care as nobody in the Nats bullpen currently is a Boras client.A suggestion to Drew, change agents to Boras [insert wink]
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 21, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Rizzo brought in the veteran Lidge last offseason. I wouldn't be surprised to see Madson in the mix this year. After Lidge got the boot, Michael Gonzalez was the senior leadership in the bullpen. Madson could take some heat off of Storen while being a needed veteran leader.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 21, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Does Boras give 3 for 1 specials?Lohse, Madson and Bourn?

Ghost Of Steve M. said… Does Boras give 3 for 1 specials?Lohse, Madson and Bourn? October 21, 2012 12:13 PM _________________________________Boras wouldn't give his mother a family discount although I think he is the type to make you think you got a deep discount.His fiduciary responsibility is to maximizing value for his client but as we know the Nats are becoming his path of least resistance which gives the appearance that Boras is in bed with the Nats. Add to that like with Prince, he talked Mr. Lerner into being his fallback on Prince until he found a better buyer in Detroit.

So, I guess I'm making progress through the stages of recovery. I did step whatever-it-is just now and talked to my neighbor the Cards fan (I've kinda sorta been avoiding him). He was out talking to another neighbor, and, with some encouragement from my husband, I went over and spoke to them. My opening line: [my husband] said that I had to come over here and be a good sport. We all laughed and then talked a little baseball. I told him I rooted for his team last season but couldn't quite bring myself to do it this year (my Giants connection aside). I also covered the "you have a good team" blah blah stuff and he did the "your guys had a good run" woof woof stuff. I do actually feel a little bit better now. Maybe it's just endorphins, from raking the leaves. Anyhoo, baby steps. We now end this session of true Nats fan confessions and return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for reading.
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 7:10 PM
p.s. I'm really glad that I didn't TP his house instead, as was suggested by a Nats fan that I met at a harvest festival yesterday. It probably wouldn't have set as good an example for the neighbor kids.
- baseballswami - Oct 21, 2012 at 7:29 PM
Glad to hear you have taken a step. I am sure that it was tough to swallow! Did you walk all the way back home mumbling — grrrr, next year? So – will Mark have a new seven am post tomorrow? Wonder what it'll be. Don't we have some options we have to pick up in the next week or so?
- MicheleS - Oct 21, 2012 at 7:39 PM
1A.. you are better than I am.. My Cards friend from STL hasn't called (he is being nice and leaving me alone) and I won't call him you know to have that gee shucks talk. Still can't do it.
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 7:39 PM
Thanks, swami. I do seem to recall saying something about next year to my other neighbor as we both walked back home. I'm also guessing that we'll see a new post in the a.m.
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Michele, not sure that I'd have gone there quite yet without my hubby's encouragement. On a somewhat related note, my Cubs fan baseball buddy sent me an email and said that she'd wanted to call and commiserate with me last week but couldn't due to laryngitis. My husband and I were just recalling her visit to Virginia during the 2003 postseason and how we all watched the Bartman game together. Oof.
- peric - Oct 21, 2012 at 8:42 PM
Lohse, Madson and Bourn?Nope, and let's face it … I am usually right ….Bourn? No way Werth and Harper at the top … let that roll for a year or two. Bourn is now over 30. Why? Eury Perez? Johnson is NOT interested except for pinch running. Lombo didn't last long in the lead off spot now did he? Davey will just say NO. And no again. And no again to "slap hitters". When are you going to give this idea up? Puhleeeze! Ladson's "source" has stopped pushing this … suddenly Ladson's recent not speaks about Zimmerman at first base and Rendon at third base. Which makes sense both baseball-wise and financially. That effects the outfield. No space for Moore, Morse, (one of which could be traded unfortunately Moore will be held at the highest value particularly given team control), plus Bernadina, Brown, and soon perhaps Brian Goodwin. And who knows what Destin Hood and Erik Komatsu might do? And Goodwin and Komatsu are left-handed. NO Bourn. Sorry but bzzzzzz wrong again.Werth was an excellent leadoff to Harper at #2. Harper has plenty of time to develop into the #3.Lohse? Is he left-handed? NO. Wrong again Ghost. Davey and Rizzo will both covet another left-handed starter. I think Drew hit it. They will trade for team control and lower cost until 2016. That'll be perennial Cy Young candidate David Price. The better than perfect replacement for Edwin Jackson. Why not the best? Why just go for a #5? Why not get someone who really WILL take the pressure off of Stras and Gio. Price is your man in the strong left-handed hitting NL East. And Rizzo now has experience convincing ownership to go with a blockbuster trade.Price makes a lot of sense both on the field, in the locker room and financially.Madson? Is he left-handed? NO. They need left-handed pitching at the back of the bullpen particularly if they lose Burnett to free agency. All they have is Gorzelanny and perhaps (surprisingly!) Zach Duke and Michael Gonzalez. Nothing forthcoming from the minors. Smoker looks like a complete FAIL. McGreary hasn't recovered from TJ surgery as expected. They are stuck.Trades, not free agent signings given the number of positions blocked or about to be blocked appear to be the best avenue to pursue for the Nats. Its a way of getting just blossoming players with 2-3 years left of team control before free agency. If you look at how the Nats have approached things … this is how they've been doing business.
- NatsLady - Oct 21, 2012 at 8:49 PM
I agree that Rizzo should not "settle" for a No. 4-5 starter. Don't agree it needs to be a lefty. BTW, unless they signed a two-year deal with Zach Duke, he is a free agent. Agree they need lefties in the bullpen. What about Rosenthal, could he be the next "failed" starter who goes to the bullpen?
- SCNatsFan - Oct 21, 2012 at 9:45 PM
nats1A, a Cards fan and I treked up from SC to see the series in September and we went to the games the Nats crushed them. I've avoided him like he has the plague since the game; on a bright note, I didn't gloat when we went up 6-0 despite wanting the twist the knife. We have been civil but I hope the Cards don't win it all again, he will be impossible.
- baseballswami - Oct 21, 2012 at 9:52 PM
I know they will have spots to fill – not nearly as many as some years. Right now I would like to know who we are keeping – tie up ALR and extend JZim first. Anyone else that needs to be held onto before we start looking elsewhere?
- natsfan1a - Oct 21, 2012 at 10:00 PM
Thanks, scnatsfan. As reported here at the time, I had a pleasant discussion with a Cards fan family as we all rode Metro home from the Thursday game. Of course, that was easier on my part since we won that one (I didn't gloat either).

Interesting watching baseball when the teams are not your own. That's how it was for me in several places where I have lived, including here, before 2005. No knots on the stomach, no need for bourbon and maalox, no high pulse rate. I can even go to sleep before the game is over. Very odd.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 22, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Peric, Lohse Madson Bourn? Glad to see you critique me in your normal style but where did I say Rizzo would seriously pursue any of them?It was a tongue in cheek comment with 3 for 1 special as in ha ha.I don't see Bourn fitting the plan but I believe Rizzo should pursue Lohse and will be tied to Boras's closers.

- baseballswami - Oct 22, 2012 at 12:26 AM
Seriously – it's getting interesting in a way that most of you might really enjoy watching NatsLady – Hamilton? Not sure Rizzo is going to go there.
- NatsLady - Oct 22, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Hard for me to imagine Hamilton, because Davey does not like to babysit his players. Watch him during games. Davey is by himself, occasionally walks down the dugout to chat, but mostly watches the game with that eagle eye and then consults his charts. Hamilton constantly hanging on Washington in the dugout, needs more "whispering" than Gio.

Wasn't it that idiot peric that wrote Scutaro would be in Syracuse if the Nats had him. I guess you were wrong on that one, huh. Oh Danny Boy…sing it you moron…potential doesn't win championships…guys like Scutaro do. That is something your Baseball America mind will never understand.
- NatsLady - Oct 22, 2012 at 12:44 AM
Scutaro is a fascinating story, to me. He was definitely marginal, struggled in the minors, seemed like a typical "journeyman" bouncing around teams. A guy like that shows you how much of the game is mental.
- NatsLady - Oct 22, 2012 at 12:46 AM

Thank you MicheleS and thank you Gonat.MicheleS, absolutely Boras "big 4" will all be rumored to the Nats especially Bourn.I like Lohse but not necessarily more than others on the market.
- MicheleS - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:28 AM
Ghost I think that is why it ticks of so many other GM's about the Nats. Mid market teams figured they would have to contend with LAA, TX, NYY, BOS, and maybe the PHL for talent, now the LAD's are back in it too (although for the life of me I can't figure out why StanK took those 3 contracts on from BOS). Now they have the Nats to contend with as weel and we are attractive and winning and have a rich owner (sure I will spend his money for him).
- MicheleS - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:31 AM
And if you are on twitter.. @MLBJesus is a SF Giants fan and apparantly wants to smite Buck and McCarver.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:41 AM
MicheleS, McCarver played for the Cardinals and Buck grew up in St Louis. They aren't overtly pulling for the Cards but McCarver knows better than to mention the no-no especially since its the Cards who had no hits.
- MicheleS - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:43 AM
Ghost..yup.. Buck's got a restaurant near the STL Park. so no bias from at all .. plus McCarver probably thinks that Bob Gibson is still playing for STL
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:45 AM
MicheleS, yep, StanK went against his own lifelong advice on taking on longterm contracts.Also true that the Nats are stepping closer to being big revenue. Only thing holding the Nats back is that lousy MASN deal.
- baseballswami - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:46 AM
What was all that about grapes? Baseball players are like grapes before it rains? What? I not only miss the Nats, I miss FP, Carp, Charlie and Dave.
- baseballswami - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:48 AM
Ghost- when I think about that masn "deal", I just boil. Blackmail, pure and simple.
- Gonat - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:51 AM
Buck: "Jay nice catch" as he said to end the inning. Really? It was routine. I think Buck has made quite a few overly complimentary comments on the Cardinals.McCarver has to be put out to pasture. The guy is awful just like Joe Morgan was. I wasn't around when they played so maybe its a generational thing with me. I like guys like FP who can relate to the current player not McCarver talking about meal allowances of 50 cents on the road.

- Ghost Of Steve M. - Oct 22, 2012 at 2:08 AM
baseballswami, the Angelos stall tactic backfired as the Nats viewership skyrocketed and any deal will go back retroactive.Unfortunately, it's the Lerners lawyers and media consultants getting rich at the moment.

So, I clicked over to the game a few times again. Is it just me, or did Matheny have a deer-in-the-headlights look in the dugout just before he went to Mujica? Freese seemed to have it as well, in the top of the 9th? Or maybe I just imagined it. Also, the Giants acted a little weird, like maybe they smelled blood or something? Nah, must have been my imagination.

Because you spotted Skole? How many MLB hits does he have?Let us not forget the incredible contribution made to the Nats' fantastic season by … Matt Antonelli.I couldn't help but think of Drew nine days ago as Romo buzzsawed through Molina, Freese and Descalso in the 9th. You have to throw strikes to get the last outs.

That's the style of costume that's always been worn in the long-running stage show from which the singer came. It's a SFO thing. That said, I turned the channel once the singing began, so I can't speak to the rendition.Gonat said…This singer lost it on fashion and on the lyrics. #Fail

After that weird rendition of GBA, I found myself hoping the Nats meet the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.That means there will be a lot of post-season baseball games that won't have that song sung automatically in the 7th-inning stretch.Right? They're not going to sing "God Bless America" in Canada, are they?
- baseballswami - Oct 22, 2012 at 10:15 AM
No, Dave – but we will get to hear Oh, Canada, which is a nice song. I think GBA is only on Sundays? Not to worry – next year a lot more post season games will be in DC and we will have lots of great renditions The National Anthem was the Kingston Trio last night – it was cool.

The launch in Bangkok of an issue brief series on labor migration in Asia undertaken by MPI and IOM with speakers H.E. Phadermchai Sasomsub, H.E. Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, H.E. Linglingay Lacanlale, Andrew Bruce, and Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias.
This brief examines the complex issues surrounding labor migration from Colombo Process countries. It discusses the progress made—and the policy challenges that remain—with regard to creating efficient and equitable labor migration systems.
الأردنية ودعم اقتصاده. وابتدأت العَمالة غير العربية الآتية من آسيا بالزيادة في السنوات الأخيرة في الأردن، وبالأخص من سريلانكا والفِليبّين.
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
While aspects of the U.S. immigration system facilitate newcomers' contributions to economic growth and competitiveness, others undermine them. Reforms are needed to enhance the job-creating power of U.S. employers and strengthen the system's ability to select effectively from the large pool of foreign workers.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.
Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.

Kuih Bahulu Recipe
August 31st marks the 51st Independence Day of Malaysia and September 1st is the beginning of Ramadan–the holy month of Islam. To celebrate the two important events in Malaysia, I thought I would introduce you to Kuih Bahulu, a traditional Malaysian kuih (or cake).
A favorite among many Malaysians of all races and ages, kuih bahulu is usually baked during the festive seasons such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. These sweet and eggy kuih go very well with coffee, and are always a crowd-pleaser during the festive seasons. A few kuih bahulu and a cup of coffee is a surefire way to greet your guests…
Kuih bahulu comes in different shapes, but the popular ones are the button and goldfish (pictured below). Thekuih bahulu mold also come in different sizes–big and small. I used the small button and gold fish molds for my kuih bahulu because I simply adore cutesy size.
As the sweet aroma filled the air in my current home in California, a flood of fond memories were racing through my mind. I personally recall many kuih bahulu making and baking sessions with my late grandmother, my late mother, and my aunt. As we were busy baking the kuih bahulu, our anticipation of Chinese New Year and the warm thoughts of our family reunion brought much joy into our home kitchen. Making kuih bahulu has always been fun to me.
While French madeleines are hugely popular, I have to say that Malaysian Kuih Bahulu is no less than the madeleines. I personally think that kuih bahulu is our answer to madeleines, with a slightly different recipe but very similar methods.
For my Malaysian readers, I wanted to wish you all "Selamat Hari Merdeka" and for my Muslim readers, Happy Ramadan!

Kuih bahulu with Nescafe or teh tarik. To me its the scones of the east. Thankful I can still get it off the shelf anytime.
i love kuih bahulu! i can eat quite a few at one go. and since the recipe looks easy enough, i am definitely going to give it a try. i have to go back to kl to get the mold – it doesn't seem right to have kuih bahulu in any other type of molds!
keep the recipes coming – you are my absolute favorite food site :)
I love the dish you baked the yummy treats in. I'm going to be on the lookout for these now. I hope I find them here.
You're right! Tomorrow is indeed independence day. Selamat Hari Merdeka! Mmmm the kuih looks awesome. I will have to try making it as well.
I've never had them before but they do look incredibly pretty! :)
That kuih bahulu look very pretty and interesting! I have never seen anything like that. I will try making them using your kuih bahulu recipe once i get my mould.
Your kuih bahulu so perfect looking! Quite difficult to find good ones nowadays. Addictive stuff too!
This looks great! It looks like it would be perfect with coffee or tea.
I remember having these when I visited Penang — but not since, and that was a long time ago. What a lovely reminder of my too-brief time in Penang!
I haven't eat these for ages! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I might give it a try soon.
They look yummy and so easy to make! I will definitely try them out.
i got interested in Malaysian cuisine, coz a while a go, i saw a Malaysian star Carmen Soo, is the spelling correct?.. she will have a tv show in our country.. very sweet lady…
Truth be told.. i never used to like Kueh Buluh. But of course it is a different story . .now that i can't get it. I'll have to email you for the mold really soon. :) thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the bringing back the memories of making kueh bahlu. I have a question though, are they made traditionally in an oven?
My mother's family used to make them on occasion but we made them with the mould on a traditional charcoal stove. The mould sits on the stove and one of my aunts would fill it with the mix. After a few minutes (they cook fast on the really hot mould) with the metal lid back on, when the kueh has reached the perfect shade of golden brown (it usually took a few batches to get the timing just right), my aunt would lift the lid and I would pick them out quickly with a toothpick, before the mould is filled again with the mix for another batch of kuehs.
the best bahulu i've tried before was from a small stall in kemaman, terengganu. freshly prepared, i had it hot and it was heavenly! looking at your pics reminds me of it :)
My kids love kuih bahulu. They sure can eat a lot of it a on sitting!
Kuih bahulu is sold in most hypermarkets in Pg now but taste wise still lose out to those homemade ones.
I have yet to taste those with powdered sugar.
Normally, I will call it kuih pulu instead of kuih bahulu. i like it very much!
oooh…I'd love anything that goes well with my coffee!
i can have 20 of them kuih bahulu. Dip in coffee, they're delicious! iv got to borrow your mould so i can try your kuih bahulu recipe for raya. ;)
These look so cute Bee, almost like madeleines. Wish you a happy Ramadan too.
These are lovely when eaten warm! :o)
they look great. I think I would test that once, in my mold, which represent grappes lol cheers
Oh they look adorable! I love their shape! :)
Have them with kopi-o. OoOooo comfort food.
oooh look at those sweet little treats! nam nam nam, hic
gosh!i'm gonna try this out for my kuih raya.it seems hard for the tradisional one they just use hands to beat the ingredient..the more tradisional it goes,the tastier it will be. :)
ohhhhhh! great recipe. I must try this. I am back in Malaysia, I think I will search for the mould and bring one back before coming back to Dallas. Thanks much for recipe!
GOSH i really miss these things!! i used to have a bag with me as a kid all the time and brought em to school to share. they were such yummy little cakes i couldn't live without.
i use duck eggs instead 0f chicken. to make bahulu….the taste n color r awesome….wanna make it more..thanx god my family owned a duck farm..hehe
Thanks for the recipe. Miss this kuih so much. I've recently tried it and it tasted wonderful.
Am living in the US currently. Wonder if anyone is selling kiuh bahulu. But I shall give your recipe a try… First one I see that uses cups as a measurement (lucky me!) instead of grams lol.. Thank you~!!
Hi Rasamalaysia,
Thanks for your recipe, I tried it last night & was a success but the only problem is it sticks badly. I have the mould heated up & apply oil & heat it again & then only I fill in the batter. And also do I need to stir the batter each time I fill in the mould. The kuih bahulu was baked around 12-13 minutes & was abit dry. I converted the 1 1/4 cup of flour to 175gm & sugar to 190gm. Please advice. Thanks.
I just tried your receipe with the butter and definitely greased the pan before baking and it is sticking very badly. What can I do to prevent the sticking?
I'm having 3 baulu monsters in my house. They like it fresh from the oven. In the end I ended
up with just a small container waiting to be emptied in a few days time.
Hi. I love your informative website with all the fascinating recipes. I once saw a recipe for large green chillies stuffed with mince. It was a malaysina cook book but I have misplace it. Would you by any chance know this recipe? Zeenath
made this last nite. taste great straight from the oven but chewy when left over nite. the 1/4 tsp of bicarbonate of soda is for what purpose? i saw in other recipes they are using baking powder. i think the textures a bit dense. how's yours like?
Hi, I tried baking this a while ago but I think it went overflow after baking. I'm not too sure how full should I fill the mould. It looks more like a muffin now >.<. Hope to get a reply as I'll be baking again in a couple of days. Thanks =)
Also, I realised that my kuih bahulu was a bit hard..How do I make it softer?
We baked kuih bahulu using organic duck eggs. Taste better and crunchy & last longer. We are duck farmer. All are duck eggs based. Includes seri kaya.
i love kuih bahulu but where do get the mould? as i live in London.
I got my mould from google.co.uk shopping.
Just unpacked my kuih pans yesterday…only 3 years since left Penang, lol… and thought "okay, but I never got a recipe." I log on and see this on your site, I'm obviously meant to make these. Do I need to season the kuih pans in any way?
My kuih bahulu got overturned during the baking… Any ideas?
am staying in new zealand. where can i get the mould to make the
kuih bahulu.thanks
I bought an alumimum mould tray and have oiled them (with canola oil) before i pour the batter in but the resulting kuehs still sticks like crazy!
I realised the comments here are old but just in case any new readers would like to know I had the same problems with the bahulu sticking to the pans. First I thought the reason could be that my pan was new, so I tried using my seasoned non-stick madeleine pan and to be sure I even lightly greased it. The bahulus were still sticking like crazy!! Then I remembered the way I used to grease the madeleine molds when I was making madeleines so I gave this method a go. The bahulus DID NOT stick to the mold this time around! Hooray! What I did was I brushed the mold cavities with oil and then floured the cavities. Shake off excess flour and then fill with the batter. I did not pre-heat the pan. The only difference in the end result was the surface ( oiled and floured side) of the bahulu was smooth instead of 'sandy'. Well I can live with that….at least I didn't end up with a heap of twisted and distorted bahulus as I was trying to pry them off the pan. FYI I did the oiling and flouring method with the madeleine mold, not the bahulu molds. There was too much cake stuck to my bahulu fish mold that it took me hours to clean them around the nooks and crannies!But I figured if it worked with the madeleine mold it could very well work with the bahulu mold. I will try it next time.
I dont have these moulds..can I use silicon cupcake moulds / muffin pans?
Note that the measurement for kuih bahulu is 1 cup. Please let me know th e measurement in gm.

Boost Your Safety! Use These Home Security Pointers in Pheonix NowJanuary 30th, 2014
If your home contains precious possessions, such as jewels, art or cash, don't assume that you're the only one that knows about it. You must protect your home and your family by investing in a quality home security system. Read on how you can make your home security.
Always have the locks after moving into a new home. You don't know how many keys to the old locks are floating around. Do the same thing if you happen to misplace your keys.
Does your canine stay in the yard while you're gone? They may provide you with your spare key. Put it on the dog's collar. This is especially well as storage if the dog does not take kindly to strangers.
A good security system has many more features in addition to sounding the alarm when there is a break-in. Many systems can alert you whenever people enter the house. This can be useful if you've got small children that are made aware their child has opened or closed a door.
There is a way to prevent burglars from entering your home through an attached garage. You can use a C-clamp to secure the door and prevent it from being opened.
This will keep your vehicle safe. This will also keep people from home.
Regardless of the type of home security system you choose, you need to check it annually. Ask someone who works at the security company to do a look. You might not even discover these problems if you can't see it.
When choosing an alarm system to fill out your Phoenix home security profile, be sure and get one that protects more than your doors. All of your windows can be entry points for a thief too. You want to be sure that monitors all your windows and doors. This can do to protect your family much safer.
Flashlights are essential since they let you navigate your home in an emergency. Teach everyone in your children how to properly use the flashlights so all family members can see and help each other.
It is very common for potential thieves to present themselves as representatives of a company in order to gain access to your home. This represents a danger to your home and possessions. Be very careful if you let into your home.
Motion sensitive lights are a good way to increase home security. If they are positioned correctly outside of your home, then it makes it much less likely for a burglar to enter.
Be sure to read all of the fine print to any contracts you plan on signing for a home security firm. There may be hidden costs or other things you should know about. You are going to want to avoid these kinds of hidden fees, you need to know of their existence.
Instead of seeing your home as impossible for burglars to target, you should try preparing for the worst. There's no need to live in fear, but addressing some basic security concerns is always the prudent course of action. Keep these tips in mind if you want some good ways to improve the security of your home.

The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Problems for specific Mercedes-Benz S600 years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1999 Mercedes-Benz S600 problems
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
As brake fluid becomes dirty over time, it can cause a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years to help prevent this issue.
Closing Assist/Door Lock Issues Due to Pneumatic System Problems
Problems with the pneumatic system can cause closing assist and door lock issues.
Engine Oil and Coolant Leaks Resulting in Fulid Intermix
Internal and External engine oil & coolant leaks can develop from the head gasket and/or timing cover gasket; these leaks should be repaired before the engine oil and coolant intermix which can result in severe engine damage.
Power Window May Fail Due to Window Regulator
One or more door windows may stop working due to a failed window regulator. Replacement of the failed regulator will be necessary to correct this concern.
Bad Switch/Blower Motor Resistor Assembly May Cause Inoperative Heater Blower Motor
Other than a defective motor, a bad switch or blower motor resistor assembly can cause an inoperative heater blower motor.
Electrical Issues Due to Degraded Engine Wiring Harness
The engine wiring can degrade because the insulating material falls off leaving the bare wire exposed. This can cause many problems depending on which wires are exposed and what they touch.
Cracked Driveshaft Flex Discs May Cause Driveshaft Movement/Vibration
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.
Premature Tire Wear Due to Cracked Lower Control Arm Bushings
The lower control arm bushings can wear and crack, resulting excessive movement at the control arm pivot point, leading to irregular and premature tire wear. Worn Ball joints can also cause similar tire wear symptoms. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
Harsh Ride From Rear Due to Failed Dampening Actuator
Vehicles with automatic level control that ride harshly in the rear (no give in the suspension) may have one or both dampening actuators which have failed. It is commonly recommended the actuators be replaced in pairs.
Tandem Hydraulic Pumps May Leak From Either Section
Some models have tandem hydraulic pumps—one section for power steering and the other for suspension adjustment. These pumps are prone to leakage from either section.
Poor AC Performance Due to Refrigerant Loss
A refrigerant leak may develop from one or more of the following AC components: AC compressor, hose manifold for the compressor, or the evaporator core. The loss of refrigerant can cause poor AC performance. Our technicians tell us that proper leak diagnoses should be performed in order to determine the cause of any refrigerant loss.
Throttle Valves May Experience Electrical Failure
The electronic throttle assembly may suffer an electrical failure. It is often cheaper to send the valve to a service center for repair that to purchase a new part.
Excess Free Play in Steering and/or Alignment Issue
One or more of the following steering linkage components may wear prematurely; tie rod ends, drag link, or idler arm. Our technicians remind us the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted if any of these items are replaced.
High Usage Vehicles May Experience Ignition Lock and Tumbler Failures
Due to wear, high usage vehicles can experience ignition lock and tumbler failures. The ignition lock cylinder will generally require replacement to correct this concern.

Why does the website still list the CDR3 as having the "handy little pocket" on the right foe a SMB or as I used to put in it my defog. I had the CDR2 and now the have the "3" and its the thing I miss the most although the redesign of the main weight pockets is fantastic and worth it. I lost weight and needed a new BC. Dont really want this posted, just noticed that after my new BC arrived and I was surprised by the omission on the new design, guess with a huge website little things are easy to overlook especially when they make no design sense.
i purchased 3XL BCD in may 2013 love it but this summer i broke one of the zipper tabs on the weigtht puoches and am wondering if i can buy a replacement pouch and how much as the weight puches for my bc are 13lbs per side
Hi there! Im a female who is 178cm in height and fairly athletic, but I wasnt sure whether to go with a XS or S. Ive been using an Aqualung for rent and Ive been using a S. Any thoughts?
The most important measurement will always be your waist measurement first. The bcd has to fit your torso properly in order to remain secure and comfortable through the dive. Height is about the last consideration unless you are out of the normal ranges for height/size (such as a tall thin basketball player), as the bcd is very adjustable.
hi, Thanks for quick reply for sizing question.but if I follow the manufactur sizing chart.I am 58 tall and only 115 lbs and 29" waist.I am very slim.As your answer before,i should go for medium size.is that too big for me?cause i only fit one requirement of medium size.Thanks for answer me again.
When purchasing a new bcd you always go by the Waist measurement first and most importantly. In this case, based on your info I''d recommend a size Small.
Does this model come with a crotch strap? If not is that something that is an add on? What is the difference between this years model and last years?
What is yalls return policy? Im a big guy, and if I buy one and doesnt fit properly or for one reason or another.
Hello, we have an excellent return policy. Here is the link below. http://www.scuba.com/ads/shipping.aspx#return
Hello I am 6 feet tall and I am 155 pounds my waist size is 36 inches. I dont know what size i should get because I am worried about my long torso. Thanks for any imput you can give me.
BCs: Avid
The new AVID CQR-3 features an updated weight release system providing more convenience and ease when installing and removing the pockets. The redesigned styling of the traditional jacket-style AVID maintains it's respected functionality, comfort and dependability. The AVID CQR-3 is a natal progression in Sherwood's forward-moving product innovation.
Safe use of BC's with integrated weights requires a complete understanding of their operation and limitations. Consult the BC operating manual and your diving instructor to be certain you understand how to weight yourself properly and what to do in an emergency. Failure to understand and act appropriately could result in serious injury or death.

FLASHBACK: Elvis Presley Recording Legendary 'Memphis Sessions'
Sunday, January 13, 2013
It was 44 years ago today (January 13th, 1969) that Elvis Presley began his second most famous recording sessions. On the heels of his triumphant 1968 NBC "comeback special" he entered American Studios in Memphis to leave behind the artistic malaise that permeated most of his '60s soundtrack work. Alongside his 1953 to 1955 Sun Records recordings, and legendary '50s RCA Victor singles, Presley's "Memphis" tracks have become known as his most important work, resulting in his massive comeback hit, "Suspicious Minds."
At the time, American Studios was one of the hottest studios in the U.S., the birthplace of hits including B.J. Thomas' "Hooked On A Feeling"; Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline"; and Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man" -- as well as her legendary Dusty In Memphis album. Producer Chips Moman ensured that Presley selected the best songs available from all music publishers, not just the companies Presley owned, ensuring that Presley's voice, matched with crack session players and great songs, would be an unbeatable combination.
During John Mellencamp's recent Q&A session at New York City's 92nd Street Y, he revealed that his earliest musical influence was none other than "The King" himself. Mellencamp was asked about what he made of Elvis during his teen years in the mid-to-late '60s when Elvis was far from his heyday and explained that his love and admiration for Elvis' golden era carried him through his '60s slump: "I started enjoying music at a very young age -- and my parents were very young. It's a little embarrassing to say, but my parents have a picture of me when I was probably about five or six and I had sideburns taped (laughter) on to try to look like Elvis (laughs). So I remember when he was rebellious and they wouldn't show him from the waist down, so the fact that he grew up to be something that was not hip at the time really had no effect on me, because the first cut was the deepest with that guy."
For more than five weeks, Presley dug in and recorded seminal tracks including "Rubberneckin'," "Inherit The Wind," "Wearin' That Loved On Look," "Any Day Now," "Long Black Limousine," and "Stranger In My Own Hometown."
Among the hits recorded during the sessions were "Don't Cry Daddy," "Kentucky Rain," the Number Three hit "In The Ghetto," and his first Number One hit in over seven years, "Suspicious Minds."
Over the years, the songs from these sessions have been scattered over many different albums, starting with 1969's From Elvis In Memphis and 1970's Back In Memphis. Today, the best place to collect Presley's legendary 1969 American Studio Recordings is the compilation Suspicious Minds: The Memphis 1969 Anthology, which was released in 1999.
In 2003, an updated dance remix of Presley's "Rubberneckin'" charted throughout Europe.

2. The developed country Parties and other Parties included in Annex I commit themselves specifically as provided for in the following:
3. The developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II shall provide new and additional financial resources to meet the agreed full costs incurred by developing country Parties in complying with their obligations under Article 12, paragraph 1. They shall also provide such financial resources, including for the transfer of technology, needed by the developing country Parties to meet the agreed full incremental costs of implementing measures that are covered by paragraph 1 of this Article and that are agreed between a developing country Party and the international entity or entities referred to in Article 11, in accordance with that Article. The implementation of these commitments shall take into account the need for adequacy and predictability in the flow of funds and the importance of appropriate burden sharing among the developed country Parties.
4. The developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II shall also assist the developing country Parties that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in meeting costs of adaptation to those adverse effects.
5. The developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II shall take all practicable steps to promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies and know-how to other Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention. In this process, the developed country Parties shall support the development and enhancement of endogenous capacities and technologies of developing country Parties. Other Parties and organizations in a position to do so may also assist in facilitating the transfer of such technologies.
6. In the implementation of their commitments under paragraph 2 above, a certain degree of flexibility shall be allowed by the Conference of the Parties to the Parties included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy, in order to enhance the ability of these Parties to address climate change, including with regard to the historical level of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol chosen as a reference.
7. The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties.
8.

Short and sweet: I'm bored and I want to draw characters. Been around for years and this is actually my first art shop woahhhhskdflkj
I will sketch a stylized single full-body pose of your original character. No anime or realistic style. It'll only be a sketch and not a fully-rendered line or digital painting.
BW Sketch: 300k
Simple Colors: 500k
Just send over the payment when I am done.
1. Voievoda (BW)
2. Shestval (Color)
3. open
Example of the style I'm aiming for:
[ x ] [ x ] [ x ]
The rest of my gallery:
Finished Commissions
Nineball Yamada - B&W
Exaction - B&W
tuna yo - Color
SteamAngel London - Color
V i r - B&W
Sventeen - Color
meekstape (her birthday lol)
The Getdown:
- Original characters only. Avatars used as OCs don't technically count as original characters because you are using Gaia's items to create that OC.
- OCs using avatars and Gaia items ~*~*~*as reference~*~*~* is okay, but not preferrable
- Descriptions help improve productivity. Personality? Clothing? World they live in? etc.
- Don't forget to be descriptive about the body types to help me get the idea; if they're bulky, tall, dwarf, heavy, sexy, leggy, saggy, dat a**, etc.etc.
- if you can't describe it well, providing reference pictures will help improve productivity as well. actually, even if you describe it well, it's nice to see some ref pics. (and by references you don't have to show me art done by previous people, you can even just google up some images)
- no PM bribes
- if I really like your avatar I might draw a freebie
EDIT: oh i forgot, i'll make up the poses unless you have something specific you want them doing
Will Draw
- whatever
- any type of genre is okay (i.e. steampunk, wuxia, sci fi, cyberpunk, tokusatsu, etc.)
- creatures are okay
- fan characters are okay (like pokemon trainers or something)
- bestial anthropomorphs are okay
Not Okay (Why? See FAQ)
- avatars
- fan art
- furry
- couples and groups
What is "Midnight Marauding"?
It's based off the album Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest.
What's with the girl?
Why won't you do avatar art?
I've never really been interested in doing avatar art. Some avatars don't pique my interest to draw, while some people have avatars that I think are genius and I want to draw those. Maybe I'll do avatar art in the future.
Why not furry?
I just don't like to do it lol. I enjoy drawing bestial anthros and creatures a lot more. The uglier the better. The only exceptions are fan characters, like Star Fox or Sonic or something.
Why this style and not realistic or anime?
I kinda get tired of seeing Mary Sue characters who all have the same body type: skinny and beautiful. I want a change of pace in Gaia where I can draw characters of all shapes and sizes and degrees of ugliness and beauty. I love exaggerating on disproportionate body types. Exaggerating those shapes help bring out more personality in the character and it will be a change of pace if you really want your super muscle character to be drawn well when you can only find people who only do sugoi bishounen prettyboys.
Why just sketches?
I'm a bit occupied IRL at the moment, trying to find work, working out, and socializing (I breakdance, but not recently, I've become a hermit due to art school) I don't have enough time to render things out until the sun calls out on me and pulls me away from my dark room.
Why not couples or groups?
Like previously mentioned, I don't have too much time to put down couples or groups. In the future I will.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread so that other people who might have the same question can see it. If it's a personal problem like if you should flash your wang at a girl for some booty, then you can go ahead and ask me in PM. After that I'll go ahead and quote it in this thread.
Just kidding. Don't PM me, I don't have any space in my PM box.

Back in October, Hollywood.com got a chance to meet Liam Neeson in preparation for the release of Taken 2. And although an intimidating force, we found him to be quite a kind and pleasant gentleman. So why, then, does it seem like everybody wants to kill him?
The latest in Neeson's death-defying exploits is Run All Night, the Warner Bros. action thriller that Deadline reports has just officially signed the actor to star. Following his 2012 face-offs with Eastern European gangsters, seafaring aliens, Greek gods, vicious wolves, and Bruce Wayne, Neeson will find himself playing a hit man forced to overthrow his nefarious mobster boss. Adding to the peril is Neeson's estranged son, who is along for the fast-paced ride. Hollywood.com has reached out to Neeson's reps for confirmation on the casting.
Reports point to Jaume Collett-Sera as the film's potential director. Neeson led the filmmaker's 2011 mystery thriller Unknown, and is presently working with Collett-Sera on another action pic with a kinesthetic title: Non-Stop.
As Neeson enters his 60s, the steady hero is becoming more and more an action centerpiece. Were it not for his history of dramatic triumphs like Schindler's List and Kinsey, Neeson's simultaneous casting in both the mentioned developing pictures might suggest a typecasting situation. However, we know that we can expect more from the man than shoot-'em-ups and not-without-my-daughters. But for those seeking only high stakes thrill rides, Neeson does indeed know how to deliver.

Health Officials Urge Residents to Seek Pertussis Vaccine
Immunization For Children Participating In Summer Programs Is Required
MADISON-With summer camps and other programs for children starting in the next few weeks, state health officials are urging Wisconsin residents to seek pertussis vaccinations, especially in light of the state's current outbreak.
"The best defense against pertussis continues to be vaccination," said Dr. Henry Anderson, State Health Officer. "We recommend all Wisconsin residents check their vaccination status and schedule a visit to their healthcare providers if they have not yet been immunized against pertussis."
Wisconsin is currently experiencing a widespread outbreak of the disease, with 1,514 confirmed and probable cases to date. Pertussis is a contagious bacterial disease affecting the respiratory tract and is spread by coughing, often through repeated face-to-face contact. Pertussis tends to be a cyclical disease where case numbers may rise dramatically every four to five years.
The pertussis vaccine is given in combination with Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines, called DTaP, and is recommended for children age two months through six years old. A pertussis vaccine for adolescents and adults, called Tdap, is recommended as a one-time booster. If someone does experience pertussis after immunization, their case is usually milder.
Families with a newborn are encouraged to be immunized as part of a process called "cocooning", where parents, siblings, grandparents and others are vaccinated to provide additional protection to the newborn, who cannot be vaccinated until they are two months old. Even at that age infants still lack adequate protection. Newborns with pertussis can experience severe complications, even death. More than half of infected infants require hospitalization.
Pertussis can begin like a cold in infants and young children, with a low grade fever and a mild, irritating cough that can appear within seven to 20 days after exposure. The illness progresses to include explosive coughing that can interrupt breathing, eating and sleeping, and may be followed by vomiting and exhaustion.
Individuals with symptoms should contact their healthcare provider about antibiotic treatment that can shorten the time when they are contagious. Those with pertussis should be isolated from school, work or other activities until completing at least the first five days of the recommended antibiotic therapy.

More calls stretch ambulance services Regional emergency responders, Frisbie hospital say they can handle the problem
Sunday, January 6, 2013
ROCHESTER — A review by Foster's Daily Democrat has found emergency calls for ambulances service in Rochester have been on the rise since 2007 and, to some extent, may be stretching the community and mutual aid resources available to handle the calls.
Rochester Fire Department Chief Norman Sanborn, confirming the rise in calls, said he has not heard complaints from any of the other fire departments that provide mutual aid, including additional ambulance service, to the city of Rochester.
The included in the regional mutual aid agreement with Frisbie are the Farmington Fire Rescue Department, the City of Dover Fire & Rescue, American Medical Response (AMR) based out of Somersworth, Barrington Fire & Rescue, Milton Fire & Rescue and the Lebanon Rescue Department in Maine.
"We'd all love to have more people but we make it work…," Sanborn noted. "You make it work with what you've got."
The current system
Frisbie Memorial Hospital has a contract in place with the city of Rochester that says it will provide ambulance service primarily to the Lilac City 24/7. The current contract was put into effect in 1998 and recently extended to 2021. In it, the hospital agrees to provide two ambulances all day, every day, in three shifts, or to make provisions for two ambulances to always be on call from other towns, including by means of mutual aid.
Frisbie must have at least one advanced life support ambulance and one basic life support ambulance in service or "take necessary steps to ensure the same level of ambulance protection is available" according to the contract.
"That might be the issue that people are looking at," Sanborn added, when asked whether staff in Rochester and other towns are feeling overworked, "… (but) we don't feel that's an issue because what happens is we get the medic truck and we get the firefighters (to an incident), to stabilize the patient and by the time the patient is stabilized, the mutual aid is there and then they transport."
John Levitow, director of Frisbie's emergency nursing and EMS department, said in general, about 33 percent of medical calls to Frisbie do not require transport to the hospital and in the hospital's view, only having one ambulance staffed during the night is not a violation of the hospital's responsibilities to the Lilac City. Frisbie EMS also responds to various other towns outside of the towns that currently provide mutual aid to Rochester.
"We work closely with area communities," said Gary Brock, assistant director of EMS at Frisbie. "We depend on each other for things."
Sanborn noted even with a high increase in calls, the department has not experienced a lag time in response. According to Shields, the city's contract with the hospital requires Frisbie staff to respond to medical incidents within 10 minutes for 90 percent of the time. Shields said that Frisbie's average response time is 5 minutes and 25 seconds.
Farmington Fire Rescue Chief Rich Fowler said he recalled a time before he took over as chief when there was an apparent "abuse" of the mutual aid system, on Farmington's end, around 2001. He said the town requested service from Frisbie hundreds of times a year, and only reciprocated a handful of other times in the Lilac City. Fowler said today, the kinks have been worked out and he feels Farmington and Rochester truly have a "mutual" agreement in place, assisting one another when it is necessary.
In Barrington, Fire & Rescue Chief Rick Walker said his department "couldn't survive" without Frisbie's assistance in their mutual aid system. The Barrington department does not have the staffing or the resources to have more than one ambulance, Walker said, and typically has to rely on Frisbie, McGregor Memorial EMS, or at times Dover and Strafford EMS departments when a second ambulance is needed.
"When the call comes in, it's not a question of, 'Should we decide to go or not?' It's not a question of whether we're tired. The run volume speaks for itself," Snyder said. " … The call volume is the call volume. Sometimes we do one run and sometimes we do 10 runs … It is what it is."
Driscoll noted with the lack of an ambulance in Rochester during the third shift late hours, he has not personally noticed a rise in calls for his crew to respond.
Sanborn also pointed to the growing and aging population in Rochester. Around 2005 and 2006, the fire department approached Frisbie and asked to take on more responsibility, he said. Sanborn said the department requested a "first responder role" on medical calls, given the fact that Rochester firefighters have basic EMT training. From there, the department took on a greater volume.
Through November, mutual aid responded to 3.5 percent of all medical calls in Rochester during 2012, according to figures provided by Rochester's dispatch center. That equals a total of about 178 times out of 5,056 calls for EMS according to data provided in November.
"We have looked at our volumes and we have addressed those volumes (through placing into service the paramedic intercept vehicle)," he said.
In the next one to two years, Sanborn noted his department will consider taking on new positions and at least eight or 10 years from now, there are plans for taking on a third station in the northern part of the city.
