Huston Street Rumors
West Notes: Tanaka, Diamondbacks, Street, Benoit
The Diamondbacks are interested in flying to Japan to meet with Masahiro Tanaka, although they have not yet scheduled a meeting, Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com reports. The Diamondbacks have been connected to Tanaka and other top free-agent starters, although Piecoro notes that it will be tricky for them to outbid the Yankees and other big-market teams for Tanaka's services. Here are more notes from the West divisions.
- The Yankees are the favorites to get Tanaka, but he would provide such a big boost to the Angels' rotation that he could change the complexion of the AL West if he heads to Anaheim, Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes (on Sulia).
- The futures of Padres relievers Joaquin Benoit and Huston Street are intertwined, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Bill Center writes. The Padres have signed Benoit to a two-year deal that pays him $6MM in 2014 and $8MM in 2015, with an $8MM option for 2016 and a $1.5MM buyout. The option vests, however, if Benoit finishes 55 games in 2015, which would only happen if he were the closer for almost the entire season. Street, meanwhile, will be paid $7MM in 2014, with a $7MM option for 2015. Street will close for the Padres in 2014, but it's unclear what will happen after that. "Huston has done it very well for a long time. Benoit has done it for four years. Huston is a pro. Nothing changes here," says Padres GM Josh Byrnes. "We do have a decision for 2015. Nothing is guaranteed for 2015."

NL West Notes: Ramirez, Pence, Giants, Padres
Just over a year ago, the Dodgers announced their presence as big-money acquirers by trading for infielder Hanley Ramirez. While Ramirez has battled injury at times, he has certainly re-established himself as a top-line big leaguer with a .315/.367/.544 line to go with 21 home runs and 14 stolen bases in the last year. As ESPN's Mark Saxon explains, Ramirez has seemed energized since donning Dodger blue and has been on fire since returning from a DL stint in early June. He remains under team control for 2014 at a cost of $16MM. On the other hand, the primary piece that Los Angeles shipped out to acquire Ramirez – pitcher Nathan Eovaldi — has been solid so far in Miami. The 23-year-old currently owns a 3.54 ERA in 40 2/3 MLB innings. Here's more out of the NL West..
- The Giants will listen to offers on Hunter Pence, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. At this stage of the season, the club believes that they have to be open to everything. San Francisco certainly likes Pence and wants to keep him long term, but with a lack of offense out there, they could get a very strong return for him. It was recently reported that the Rangers have interest in acquiring Pence.
- Padres stars Chase Headley, Carlos Quentin, and Huston Street are likely to stay in San Diego but it appears that Luke Gregerson will be changing uniforms, writes Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
- After Gregerson and Chris Denorfia, the Padres getting the most interest are Street, left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher, and outfielder/first baseman Jesus Guzman, writes Bill Center of U-T San Diego.
- The Giants are searching for their identity as the deadline approaches, writes MLB.com's Andrew Owens. Manager Bruce Bochy has instructed his players to tune out the trade rumors between now and July 31st.

Luke Gregerson Drawing Significant Interest
3:11pm: MLB.com's Corey Brock writes that the Padres are seeking controllable young pitching in trades, and Gregerson is receiving the most interest from other clubs currently. Gregerson tells Brock that he's not paying attention to the rumors swirling around his name and is just "living for today" and enjoying his time with the Padres.
12:50pm: The Padres are receiving a lot of interest in Luke Gregerson, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. He adds that more teams are calling the Padres about Gregerson than they are about closer Huston Street.
That teams are more interested in Gregerson than Street isn't much of a surprise, given Gregerson's stronger numbers and cheaper price tag. While Street is earning $7MM in 2013 and again in 2014 (with a $7MM club option for 2015), Gregerson is earning just $3.2MM this season after his second year of arbitration eligibility. He will be arb-eligible once more this offseason before hitting free agency in the 2014-15 offseason.
Gregerson, 29, has a 2.98 ERA with 7.9 K/9, 1.9 BB/9 and a 46.7 percent ground-ball rate in 42 1/3 innings this season. He drew significant interest from the Tigers during Spring Training, with Detroit reportedly offering Rick Porcello in exchange for Gregerson (though GM Dave Dombrowski refuted that claim). More recent reports suggest that the Tigers are showing "continued interest" in San Diego's setup man.

Central Notes: Peavy, Gallardo, K-Rod, Tigers, Pirates
The three most prominent starting pitcher trade candidates reside in baseball's Central divisions: Matt Garza (Cubs), Jake Peavy (White Sox), and Yovani Gallardo (Brewers). The latest on the Garza rumors can be found here while Fred Mitchell of the Chicago Tribune reports at least a half dozen scouts, including ex-Cub GMs Jim Hendry (Yankees) and Ed Lynch (Blue Jays) were on hand to see Peavy's outing against the Braves last night. "There are a lot of eyes on me, period," Peavy said after allowing two earned runs on seven hits during his six-inning stint (96 pitches). "I was trying to win for (27,294 fans) who came to support us. Whatever the scouts see, they see. I love to play and I love to compete. I want to win, that's the bottom line." The bottom line with Gallardo, according to a tweet from ESPN's Jayson Stark, is not a lot of enthusiasm for what two executives called a "4-5 starter" despite tossing six and 1/3 shutout innings against the Marlins last night. Here's more from the Central:
- The Tigers have made initial inquiries with the Padres about their relievers, sources tell FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi (Twitter link). Morosi lists Huston Street and Luke Gregerson as possibilities.
- Both the Tigers and Red Sox are scouting Brewers' closer Francisco Rodriguez, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.
- The Pirates' biggest need is another bat but they are also exploring the pitching market and seeking a bench upgrade, tweets Jim Bowden of ESPN.com.
- Pirates GM Neal Huntington told reporters, including the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Rob Biertempfel (Twitter link), "We know players we want and we know what we're willing to give up. We're willing to stretch lot on some guys, not so much others."
- Huntington acknowledges he has the flexibility to add payroll "within reason," but would not elaborate, per a Biertempfel tweet.
- The Pirates had lost three in a row and Huntington blamed their struggles on BABIP, tweets Michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pirates have also scuffled with runners in scoring position breaking an 0-for-29 drought with a pair of RBI singles this afternoon.
- Brandon Phillips addressed the reaction to his recent comments in a Cincinnati Magazine article, which quoted him as saying the six-year, $72.5MM contract extension he signed with the Reds in 2012 was a "slap in the face" and that GM Walt Jocketty and owner Bob Castellini lied to him during the process. "Do I feel like they lied to me? If someone tells me they don't have no money and you find $200 million somewhere, what does that sound like?" Phillips told C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer, referencing the ten-year, $225MM deal first baseman Joey Votto completed with the Reds about a week before his own deal was announced. "I'm very happy for Joey, don't get me wrong," the second baseman added. "It was basically, if you think about it, I was saying I thought I wasn't going to be a Cincinnati Red … if y'all want to take that to the negative way, be my guest, that doesn't bother me."
- While there has been a great deal of speculation about Justin Morneau and other Twins, rival executives haven't sensed a big push from Minnesota to make deals, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com (via Twitter).

Quick Hits: Delgado, Top Prospects, Byrd, Relievers
The Blue Jays will add Carlos Delgado to the Level of Excellence at the Rogers Centre this weekend — an honor bestowed upon the greatest Jays in franchise history. Delgado spent a dozen seasons with the Jays, hitting .282/.392/.556 with 336 homers in 6,018 plate appearances. He will join Roberto Alomar, Joe Carter, Tony Fernandez, George Bell and Dave Stieb as players to receive the distinction. Here's more from around the league…
- ESPN's Keith Law unveiled the latest edition of his Top 50 prospects (ESPN Insider required and recommended), and it's fronted by Twins Class A Advanced center fielder Byron Buxton, though Law cautions that even he is a little uncomfortable with the amount of hype Buxton is receiving. Oscar Taveras, Xander Bogaerts, Miguel Sano and Francisco Lindor round out Law's Top 5.
- The Mets will need to be "overwhelmed" to trade Marlon Byrd, writes Jorge Castillo of the Newark Star Ledger. "Overwhelmed," of course, is a relative term, and manager Terry Collins states things more lightly later in the article: "Right now, Marlon Byrd's a huge piece. If Marlon Byrd's going to get moved, we're going to get something good back." Castillo's article meshes with previous reports that the Mets may simply stand pat at the deadline.
- A team official tells Mike Puma of the New York Post that the Mets haven't had any action yet on Byrd or closer Bobby Parnell (Twitter link).
- ESPN's Jim Bowden examines the trade market for relievers (video link), naming all of the usual suspects that have been mentioned previously but also adding Jared Burton, Huston Street and Luke Gregerson, who haven't been mentioned often this summer. All three are controlled beyond 2013. Bowden's colleague Buster Olney tweeted earlier today that the Diamondbacks continue to be players on the relief pitching market.
- Uncertainty surrounding Clay Buchholz's injuries hasn't changed Boston's approach to the trade deadline, writes Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. The Red Sox still plan to be "selective" as they debate possibilities to upgrade what they consider to be strong rotation depth. The team is also still interested in upgrades at third base and in the bullpen.

Multiple Teams Pursuing Rick Porcello
6:53pm: Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski vehemently denied that he had proposed any deals involving Porcello, including any offers to the Padres, reports Lynn Henning of The Detroit News. Dombrowski acknowledged that his "phone has been ringing a lot," and added that "this is the best I've ever seen [Porcello] throw the baseball."
12:07pm: The Padres have turned down two offers from the Tigers, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports (on Twitter). The Padres declined to take Porcello for Huston Street or Luke Gregerson, a Tigers source told Bowden.
THURSDAY, 8:33am: The Cardinals are checking out Porcello, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (on Twitter).
WEDNESDAY: The Rangers and Padres are the teams most actively discussing potential Rick Porcello trades with the Tigers, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report. The Orioles have also scouted the right-hander.
Despite the strong interest, rival teams wonder if the Tigers will actually trade Porcello. Instead of making a deal, the Tigers could choose to keep Porcello and use Drew Smyly in the bullpen or as a starter at Triple-A Toledo. The FOX writers report that the Tigers will not move Porcello unless they obtain a strong return.
The Padres made an "aggressive" offer last week and the Tigers rejected it, Rosenthal and Morosi report. Talks with the Rangers are not advanced at this point. The Tigers appear to like shortstop prospect Leury Garcia and right-handed pitching prospect Nick Tepesch. Detroit would want a third player added to the package, but the Rangers are reluctant to move even Tepesch.
The Red Sox could have interest in Porcello, yet they don't want to reduce their bullpen depth, the FOX duo reports. The Orioles aren't inclined to pursue Porcello aggressively, as they have many young starting pitchers of their own.
The Tigers also seek a right-handed hitting outfielder. They have talked about re-acquiring Casper Wells from the Mariners, Rosenthal and Morosi report. The Tigers traded Wells to Seattle midway through the 2011 season in the deal that sent Doug Fister to Detroit.

Padres To Extend Huston Street
Huston Street is off of the trade market and in the Padres' long-term plans. The team agreed to sign the 28-year-old right-hander to a two-year extension that includes a club option for 2015. The contract between the Padres and the Hendricks Sports client will be worth $14MM and the '15 option will be valued at $7MM, MLB.com's Corey Brock reports.
"Huston is an established closer and has proven to be a valuable leader and teammate," GM Josh Byrnes said in a press release. "We are very excited to have him be part of this organization going forward."
The Padres worked to lock Street up this week and were prepared to trade him if an extension didn't seem possible. Street's previous contract included a $9MM mutual option for 2013 ($500K buyout). He would have been a free agent following the 2012 season unless both sides had exercised the option.
Street has a 0.91 ERA with 11.8 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 40% ground ball rate in 29 2/3 innings for the Padres this year. He has a 2.97 ERA with 9.3 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 38.1% ground ball rate in eight seasons with the Athletics, Rockies and Padres.
Street earns $7MM per season in 2013-14 and there's no buyout on the 2015 option, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports (on Twitter). His $7MM salary will now represent a substantial portion of the Padres' payroll — $55.6MM entering the 2012 season.
This marks the second time in eight days that Byrnes has signed a potential trade candidate to a multiyear extension. The Padres agreed to sign Carlos Quentin to a three-year, $30MM extension one week ago today. Street, Quentin and Cameron Maybin now represent the Padres' largest financial commitments for 2013 and beyond.

Quick Hits: Padres, Victorino, Red Sox, Liriano
ESPN's Buster Olney says (on Twitter) that one NL official called Saturday the calm before the trade deadline storm. Hanley Ramirez and Zack Greinke have already been traded, but there are still nearly three full days to go before the deadline. Here's the latest from around the league..
- The Padres are leaning towards keeping Chase Headley and Huston Street unless the market changes considerably in the next few days, reports ESPN's Jim Bowden (on Twitter).
- The Phillies are suggesting to interested teams that they may still sell Shane Victorino and other pieces, but also may wait right to the deadline tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.
- The Red Sox are willing to deal from their bullpen and outfield surplus in order to upgrade their starting rotation, sources tell Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).
- Neither Francisco Liriano or the Twins pursued an extension for the left-hander (Twitter link), GM Terry Ryan told reporters (including MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger). The White Sox acquired Liriano earlier tonight.
- Before Marco Scutaro was traded to the Giants, the Yankees and Athletics also tried to acquire the veteran, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
Mike Axisa contributed to his post.

Stark On Headley, Braves, Marlins, Reds
The Athletics, Orioles, Pirates and Indians are pursuing Chase Headley most aggressively, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports. The Pirates and Indians seem less motivated to complete a deal now, but the A's and Orioles haven't backed off. The Diamondbacks, Phillies and Yankees checked in on Headley, and the Dodgers were seriously interested until they traded for Hanley Ramirez. Here are the rest of Stark's rumors…
- The Braves are telling teams they're shifting their focus away from the rotation to possible bullpen and bench upgrades, Stark reports.
- The Marlins are working hard to trade Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Lee, Stark writes. Ricky Nolasco is also available.
- The Rangers are mainly focused on Zack Greinke and James Shields, but the odds of a trade involving Shields are diminishing because Evan Longoria is on his way back to the Rays' lineup.
- The Cubs are offering to absorb all but $2MM of Alfonso Soriano's contract, Stark writes. The left fielder earns $18MM per season through 2014 and the Cubs might take it all on for the right prospect.
- The Phillies are still considering trading Shane Victorino, but they are likely to wait a few days before making a decision on his future.
- The Padres have told teams they are likely to trade Huston Street if they can't sign him to an extension. The Padres are expected to attempt to lock Street up to a one-year extension.
- Reds GM Walt Jocketty "feels a need to do something" and has asked around for a middle-of-the-order hitter, Stark reports.

Padres Expected To Offer Street One-Year Deal
The Padres are trying to lock up Huston Street and are expected to offer him a one-year deal with an option for 2014, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). The right-hander is believed to want to stay in San Diego.
Late last week, it was reported that the Padres would make Street available in trades before the deadline if they are unable to sign him to an extension. As it stands now, Street has a $9MM mutual option for the 2013 season.

Today marks the first annual Family and Consumer Sciences Day nationwide, and families are encouraged to take part by taking the opportunity to dine in and spend a little extra time with each other.
The American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) established the day, and Washington County High School's FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) group is helping to promote it locally.
Springfield Police have reported an incident involving a recent car theft, but the vehicle was quickly recovered with no apparent damage.
Ofc. Nick Holmes responded to a call at 2:46 a.m. on Nov. 15 in reference to a noise complaint and a possible fight at 1019 Melavin Circle in Springfield.
The officer noted in the incident report that upon arrival, he was informed by Labronze Poole, who resides at the address, that his vehicle had been taken by Charles Andrew Buckley IV of Lebanon.
An indictment indicates that a grand jury found sufficient evidence for a case to go to trial, and does not indicate guilt. All of those indicted are innocent until proven guilty.
Five people were indicted in Washington County Circuit Court on Nov. 20, including charges of Class C and Class D felonies.
Melwood H. Robinson, 73, of 216 Cleaver Court in Lebanon, was indicted for unlawful possession of a weapon on school property (Class D felony) following an incident at Washington County High School on Oct. 17.
Salt was a topic of concern for the Washington County Fiscal Court during a special called meeting on Nov. 24.
According to Washington County Judge/Executive John Settles, the meeting was a special called session because of rescheduling for the holiday week. Only matters on the agenda could be discussed and no new matters could be brought up.
One pressing matter in the road report was salt, or lack of it.
The road department has already had to go out to scrape and salt roads from last week's winter weather.
Members of the Springfield and Washington County Fire Departments have officially moved into their new facility on Main Street, and it's a welcome change that was long overdue.
After calling the former National Guard Armory on Lebanon Hill home since 1983, the first responders are finally able to stretch their legs and spread out in the beautiful new 10,400 square foot facility. The building was designed by Washington County native James Kenneth Donnolly.
It's the holiday season, which means it's time for Christmas festivities in Springfield.
This weekend, as in years past, the events will center around the Santa Walk downtown, but there will be plenty of other fun activities that cater to the whole family.
The local events have already gotten underway with the Downtown Christmas Open House and Small Business Saturday the past two weekends, but that's just the beginning in what promises to be a season filled with fun events.

Construction on the new Washington County Public Library will begin early in 2015 with the approval of a $1.8 million state grant awarded to the Board of Trustees.
Washington County Public Library was one of ten libraries awarded grants by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in what is the largest funding for library construction in Kentucky history.
Kentucky State Police report an arrest of a bus driver in Washington County for allegedly operating a motor vehicle under the influence with more than 40 students on board.
Holly M. Brown, 46, of Louisville, was arrested on Sunday after Post 15 of the Kentucky State Police receieved a call from an off duty Anderson County Sheriff's deputy at 1:26 p.m.
The deputy informed KSP that he had followed a charter bus that was traveling on the Bluegrass Parkway to EZ Stop on KY 555. He said he suspected that the driver was under the influence.
The Springfield Sun is welcoming a new member to its news team this week, with the addition of Nick Schrager as the publication's new sports and news reporter.
Schrager will be replacing John Overby, who is taking a reporter position at the Central Kentucky News Journal in Campbellsville.
After spending his previous two years as a freelance sports writer for The Lebanon Enterprise, Schrager said he is ready to take on a role that encompasses more than just the sports beat.

Crescent Operating, Inc. Announces the Acquisition Of E. L. Lester and Company.
Crescent Operating, Inc. (Nasdaq:COPI) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Crescent Machinery Company, has acquired E. L. Lester and Company, a construction crane rental company located in Houston, Texas, for approximately $ 14.6 million.
With this acquisition, Crescent Operating is continuing its consolidation of companies within the Equipment, Sales and Leasing segment and now has 18 locations throughout 7 states. E. L. Lester and Company has approximately $15 million in revenues and specializes in the sales and rental of 8 to 300 ton conventional and hydraulic cranes to highway, building and industrial contractors.
Crescent Operating also announced that Crescent Machinery is opening a new location in Fort Worth, Texas, on August 1, 1999. With the acquisition of E. L. Lester and Company and the new Fort Worth location, Crescent Machinery will have 8 locations throughout the state of Texas.
John C. Goff, Crescent Operating's Chief Executive Officer commented, "The acquisition of E.L. Lester significantly expands our construction crane rental business. With our 8 Texas locations, we are well positioned to capture a portion of the $1.8 billion designated by the federal government for highway and transit programs in the state of Texas over the next 5 years."
Crescent Operating is a diversified management company which through various subsidiaries and affiliates, owns, leases or operates a portfolio of assets consisting primarily of seven full-service hotels and two destination health and fitness resorts, an interest in a behavioral health company, an interest in a refrigerated warehouse operating company, an interest in three real estate development operations, and an equipment sales and leasing business.

Cartoon ad 'bomb'
What was it advertising? Aquatough Teen? Anyone follow the Turner advertising gimmick turned bomb scare in Boston? Nine other cities didn't blink an eye - in Boston we called out multiple bomb detonating squads and anti-terrorist units, froze traffic, evacuated areas, and blew up one of the little blinking things with a water cannon. Should I be more concerned for Boston - or for the other cities that not so much as noticed? Sobering though - to realize how easy it was for someone to place two dozen of those things at key overpasses all around the city.
It seems that some people here in Boston have made comments that the police overreacted since "anyone could see they had cartoon characters on them". This strikes me as naive or disingenuous. As if anything with a cartoon character on it could not possibly be dangerous(?) It will be interesting to see if other cities had these things attached to bridges, underpasses etc.
So right you are, guys. Honeyb2, I saw a stand-up comedian who joked that in spite of 9 locks on doors in triple rises, people would fling open the door freely if the guy said, "pizza delivery"! Why should we trust rectangular devices on bridges with wires hanging out just because it has a cartoon character on it? (Especially one flipping its finger :) ).
Little wonder we didn't find any hidden WMDs in Iraq when we can't even notice these things prominently displayed all over 9 cities at home!
Hi all:
This issue affected me quite a bit. I work in Cambridge, and although I live north of Boston, I have to go south from work into the city to get the commuter rail home. I was stuck at work, along with many co-workers, waiting for the bridges and subway to re-open. I knew people who heard that the "devices" were found just blocks from their home, and they were terrified.
I am actually very glad the police took things so seriously. I have friends who work for law enforcement agencies, and they told me that two of the items had fake pipe bombs attached to them. These were placed near one of the largest and most well-known hospitals on the East coast. Many people I know who grew up in this area always heard Boston was a huge target for attack due to many reasons, including the medical technology availible in this region. It's not surprising people heard that there were odd items found placed on bridge supports and outside Mass General and then panicked.
What distresses me is what else I heard: some of the items were in place for as much as three weeks before they were found?? How could they even be put into place??
Hey guys,
Yeah, I agree with all of you. I've been so sick I hadn't left the house and only heard all the news late in the day and it didn't affect my kids and their school at all. My own feeling is, like yours, that the police didn't overreact--they really only had the choice of reacting or not reacting and I'd prefer they reacted. I also fet really outraged that a paid publicity stunt was the cause. I'm all for free speech and protest and even for performance art--for instance I"m a big fan of the "freeway blogger" who puts up huge, self made, bilboards with political statements on them and then photographs them and posts them on the internet--but those things are done to raise consciousness not to sell a product. Commercialization creeps everywhere--there was just an article about how new yorks stringent anti billboarding ads are being circumvented by collusion between companies looking for advertising space and the special hoardings they build around job sites and over the sidewalks when they are working on skyscrapers. Ad companies are putting larger and larger and totally illegal wraparound bilboards on those things to squeeze more money from public space. I really resent that.
In this case I hope boston sues and wins.
ps emmie9999 did you get my person email to you? I tried to email you through the site. If you didn't, get my email from mindstorm and I'll resend you the information .

My girlfriend of a long time realized that she was still in love with her ex boyfriend... She was wishing that I was him and she couldn't do it anymore so she left me to be with him... I was heartbroken and I still am... a friend told me that I should continue writing to ease the pain and help me get though it so this is what I wrote
The Siren
©Callum J Wood
The Siren, He wrote her a song, but it never got finished
They both fell in love but it was soon diminished
She sits on his bed and cries in his lap
He cries back at her, knowing they can't go back.
Hours go by and neither one can accept
That by letting go they are doing what's best
At the end of the day, comes the part which he fears
To let her go without shedding a tear
Never again will he kiss her goodbye
And just that thought makes him start to cry
Now he'll finish that song, and he'll write it today
This is the start and here's what it says
"You are my siren, you drew me in
With a voice like an angel and the softest skin
Your eyes shine like diamonds and your smile melts my heart
I know that nothing could tear us apart"
That's what he wrote and let me just say.
That he'd never do anything to throw that away
But that's not how it works, This worlds bitter and harsh
And then something happened, which drew them apart
An old boyfriend showed up and that's when he knew
That her feelings for him were not shiny and new
This person left her and crushed her heart
But she had loved him since the very start.
When our boy came along she saw a way
To end her pain and make it all go away
But by loving this person through thick and through thin
She looked at our boy and wished it was him
Now this is where the second verse starts
it's about how she seemed to break his heart
He found out her feelings, it went straight to his head
so he carried on writing and here's what he said
You make me smile when no one else can
It just makes me happy to be your man
But it hurts me deeply that you long for his heart
I Thought we would last but this breaks us apart.
He sat in his room and just wished he
Could be just like her ex so that they could be
But as long as he was there they could never be true
So he'd sit in his room feeling sad and blue
Now comes the part where she's crying in his lap
They both just decided to never go back
The pain is immense but it's saving his heart
Because staying with her would rip him apart
Here's where he decides to finish the song
The story of how it all went wrong
He starts the last verse with tears dripping off his nose
The papers all wet but here's how it goes.
You were my siren you drew me in
you taught me to love and you taught me to sin
I never thought you could break my heart
But I guess we were wrong right from the start
You were my siren now I'm dead at sea
you drew me in but you didn't want me
I just wish I knew where it all went wrong
But now another lost sailor can hear your song
Has this poem touched you?

By Mario Trujillo - 06/04/14 11:47 AM EDT
House Republican leaders on Wednesday called on President Obama to present his vision for reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"The VA scandal is a national disgrace, and Americans are eager to know the extent of your willingness to personally take action in order to make things right for those who have served," read the letter to Obama signed by Speaker John Boehner (Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), and Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.).
Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned last week after an inspector general's report found that 1,700 veterans who sought appointments were not included on a Phoenix clinic's official wait list. The report found the average wait time at the clinic was 115 days.
A broader investigation is looking into similar allegations around the country and charges that some veterans died while on secret wait lists.
The leaders said the resignation is not enough, and asked Obama to push Senate Democrats to pass the VA Management Accountability Act, which the House approved in a bipartisan vote last month and would give the secretary broader authority to fire managers.
"This is much-needed given your own audit's findings that 'some front-line, middle, and senior managers felt compelled to manipulate' records to meet performance goals," the letter said. "Unfortunately, as you may know, Senate Democrats blocked the measure, after it received 390 votes in the House."
The White House has said it agrees with the principle of the bill.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, is slated to introduce a similar measure that would give new authority to fire senior executives based on job performance. Sanders says his bill will also ensure that employees have due process to challenge disciplinary treatment.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has called on the upper chamber to pass the bill as soon as possible.
The leaders also called on Obama to force the VA to be more cooperative with Congress. Lawmakers have complained that the department has not complied with a number of requests for information.
House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) is introducing legislation that would give more leeway for veterans to obtain private medical care if they cannot get an appointment at a VA clinic.
"We ask that you support this proposal, or offer an immediate, effective alternative," they wrote.

DEFINITION of 'Regret Avoidance'
A theory of investor behavior that attempts to explain why investors refuse to admit to themselves that they've made a poor investment decision so they don't have to face the unpleasant feelings associated with that decision. Regret avoidance causes investors to not correct bad decisions, which can make those decisions worse. Regret avoidance is the result of cognitive dissonance. Regret avoidance also provides an alternative to economists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky's prospect theory, which provides another explanation of why individuals make irrational decisions.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Regret Avoidance'
The study of behavioral finance helps us understand actions like regret avoidance. Being aware of our behavioral quirks and the ways we can let emotions irrationally influence our behavior can help us make better decisions. For example, it can help us avoid throwing good money after bad in an attempt to emotionally justify a bad investment decisions. Having a basic understanding of behavioral finance, along with holding a diversified portfolio with a comfortable level of risk, can limit the probability of engaging in destructive regret avoidance behavior.

Our room was really nice and the staff was friendly. However it would be nice if they could make more out of the common area! It is the only place with wifi but freezing cold and not really comfortable to stay. And thethey should think about offering breakfast in the Hostel....

There is no internet in the room which is annoying. They had western toilets which was nice and they do have towels. The beds were terrible. Some had mattresses but ours did not. Instead it was a blanket folded in half on a wood slats- so uncomfortable! There are some people on the staff at the front desk who do not speak English which is hard. It's an okay hostel to stay at but not the best. You also have to pay for everything. Pay to use the microwave, pay to use the little kitchen, etc.

The bathroom could have been cleaner and when you took a shower the bathroom floor got flooded. The young girl and guy at reception were nice and helpful! Felt secure, although the room lockers didn't seem very sturdy. I rated the atmosphere poor simply because there weren't really any other westerners around.

I'm still thinking about starting a new journal next month, but I don't know what to call it. I feel like I want to write a bit of a mission statement about my goals for functional fitness and sticking with diet challenges (to identify my sensitivities/intolerances). I want to focus on moving forward, on making progress, and on finding solutions, rather than wallowing. I've made so much progress in many ways over the past three years and I want want to spend more time looking towards the future.
Recently, I had a nice glimpse back at how my anxiety used to be. I remember I used to feel like my head was stuck in a loop in the mornings. I would start drafting my journal entry for the day (here on MDA) in my head while I drove my scooter or the car to work. It was frustrating because I would just get anxious trying to clear my head. Now, I might start drafting a post in my head, but it feels productive. I often don't end up writing any of it here because I forget by the time I get to work. It's mostly just a habit now. I find that narrating things in my head helps me sort things out. I have come to a lot of realizations regarding my health and mental state that way! That's how I resolve minor arguments with Hulky, too.
Hulky gets his contact lenses tonight, I'm so excited (focusing on that rather than how I'm bummed about not being able to get a tattoo). He had trouble taking them out last time he was at the optometrist's. His fine motor skills are not the best. I expect he'll get better at it over time, enough to keep using them anyway. I imagine I would be pretty bad at it too. I can barely put on eye make-up whiteout my eyelids fluttering all over the place. I hope he still plans to get a pair of glasses with the proper prescription so he isn't switching back and forth between an up-to-date and outdated prescription.
