In comparison to the general population, U.S. military and Veterans are at an increased risk for developing both substance use disorders (SUD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Current research has shown that there is a high comorbidity of SUD and PTSD, and although there are a number of treatments for SUD and PTSD independently, there are very few effective methods to simultaneously treat both disorders. Because of this substantial gap in the treatment of both SUDs and PTSD, it has become essential to develop a combined treatment that would address and treat both disorders. Individuals, specifically U.S. military and Veterans, with SUD/PTSD have unique needs that require a specialized treatment approach. This designed approach would employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat the SUD, in conjunction with Prolonged Exposure therapy to treat the PTSD. Prolonged Exposure (PE) is an empirically supported and evidence-based treatment that is currently regarded as the "gold standard" psychosocial treatment for PTSD. In combination with CBT, this treatment would address both disorders in hopes of reducing substance use and PTSD symptomatology.

Detailed Description:
As a result of sustained operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, there are an increasing number of U.S. military personnel and Veterans at risk of developing both substance use disorders (SUDs) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). If left untreated, individuals with SUDs and/or PTSD are at risk for other mental health problems (e.g., depression), suicidal ideation and attempts, physical health problems, reduced resiliency, lost productivity, and family/relationship impairment. While mental health services are in place for U.S. military personnel, substantial gaps in the treatment of co-occurring SUDs and PTSD exist and there is little scientific evidence available to guide the provision of care. The proposed study directly addresses this knowledge gap by testing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an integrative behavioral intervention for the treatment of co-occurring SUDs and PTSD modified for use among U.S. military personnel (including National Guard and Reservists) who have served in Operation Enduring Freedom and/or Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). The intervention, called "Concurrent Treatment with Prolonged exposure" or "COPE," represents a novel treatment that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy for SUDs with prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD. In earlier studies with civilians, COPE has demonstrated efficacy in reducing alcohol and drug use severity, PTSD symptoms, and associated mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety). In this hybrid Stage Ib/Stage II study, we will (1) use a manualized, well-tolerated behavioral treatment for SUDs and PTSD (COPE); (2) employ a two-arm randomized between-groups experimental design (COPE versus a modified treatment-as usual (TAU); and (3) examine standardized, repeated dependent measures of clinical outcomes and process variables at 5 time points (pre-, mid-, and post-treatment; 3 and 6 month follow-up). The proposed project is directly responsive to the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) in that it seeks to enhance and accelerate research on the prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug use disorders (including illicit and prescription drugs) and comorbid conditions (e.g., PTSD, depression, sleep disturbances, HIV risk behaviors). The findings of this study will provide empirical evidence to inform policies and programs to better serve the needs of U.S. military personnel, Veterans, and their families.

Re: Purchasing in person vs purchasing online! |
If you are close to GOG, definitely visit them. And also call other reputable online vendors such as WhiteFlash, JamesAllen, BlueNile, JamesGavinDiamonds, etc. Tell them what you are looking for and they will suggest some diamonds.
Re: Purchasing in person vs purchasing online! |
Thank you!
We were hoping to go to GOG tomorrow, but they are closed - possibly later this week! Meanwhile I did hear from them and are currently researching the pluses and minuses of this stone: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8920/ Do many people buy with fluoresence? I am sending in my requests to other vendors as well! |
Re: Purchasing in person vs purchasing online! |
Listen, if you can go to Good Old Gold, you won't need to go anywhere else. You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about diamonds and then some! I honestly can't think of a better place to go! They will be happy to show you diamond colors. I have had a stone with med. blue fluor. for years and never knew it was there until a jeweler mentioned it when I was considering a reset. I consider fluor. a real bonus because it is a neat natural characteristic and because of some strange prejudice from the past, the stones are discounted a little! I have purposely looked for fluor. for that reason! If for some reason they don't have what you want in the store, they can get anything called in for you to see. You are extremely lucky to live only an hour from GOG!
Oh, and by all means make an appointment if you can. They will schedule time with you and pull stones for you to look at. They are open Tues. thru Sat. And if you happen to see Jonathan, tell him that diamondseeker said to tell him ! (Oh, and that is a gorgeous stone! You just have to see if it meets your color and clarity preferences.) |
Re: Purchasing in person vs purchasing online! |
Thank you! We are going to try to make an appointment for this week! Good to know about the fluoresence, I honestly don't think it will both me. I am used to having a very white diamond, so don't want to stray too much from that. This one looks very pretty to me.
As for clarity, I read in a different thread then an above 2 carat round you should look for VS2 at the least, so I am wondering about that SI1. They did not seem so have much in stock, Sarah said my combination was hard to come by (which confused me a bit, I think I was asking for something really without knowing it). Is it best to stick with Hearts and Arrows? James Allen seems to have more available. I am planning on doing a lot of reading on diamonds today, I need to get up to par! Thanks again for the help! |

The sociology of culture concerns culture—usually understood as the ensemble of symbolic codes used by a society —as it is manifested in society. For Georg Simmel, culture referred to "the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history". Culture in the sociological field can be defined as the ways of thinking, the ways of acting, and the material objects that together shape a people's way of life. Culture can be any of two types, non-material culture or material culture.
Cultural sociology first emerged in Weimar Germany, where sociologists such as Alfred Weber used the term Kultursoziologie (cultural sociology). Cultural sociology was then "reinvented" in the English-speaking world as a product of the "cultural turn" of the 1960s, which ushered in structuralist and postmodern approaches to social science. This type of cultural sociology may loosely be regarded as an approach incorporating cultural analysis and critical theory. Cultural sociologists tend to reject scientific methods, instead hermeneutically focusing on words, artifacts and symbols.
New Criticism was a movement in literary theory that dominated American literary criticism in the middle decades of the 20th century. It emphasized close reading, particularly of poetry, to discover how a work of literature functioned as a self-contained, self-referential aesthetic object.
New Criticism developed in the 1920s–30s and peaked in the 1940s–50s. Critical essays by T. S. Eliot, including "Tradition and the Individual Talent" and "Hamlet and His Problems", influenced some of the ideas of the New Critics, as did books like Practical Criticism and The Meaning of Meaning by the English scholar I. A. Richards. The movement is named after John Crowe Ransom's 1941 book The New Criticism.

I use to intern for Women's Wear Daily as an assistant to the stylist at a photo shoot. I learned a lot of Amazing tricks from the make-up artist and best one I still use to this day is the radiant touch stick. It really highlights the shadows on your face. I was taught to place a line down the bridge of your nose and blend...unser each nostril and blend, across the ching and blend . NOw that I am older and getting a few under eye wrinkles I have found concealer to be too heavy. have switched to the radiant touch, it gives the right highlights without being cakey and actually accentuating wrinkles. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

As a 49 yr old makeup artist who's on her sixth Radiant Touch pen in three years, I'd like to add my two cents on this amazing beauty item: Is it a concealer? Is it a highlighter? The box states it's a highlighter, illuminator and corrector. So it's NOT a concealer. It's a must-have highlighter for anyone going before a camera. There's something in it (?) that catches the lights/flash and pulls shadows out of the darkness, especially those by the mouth and nose, and smoothes out the topography of the face. Under the eyes: I use it OVER concealer when there is an indentation between the eye area and the cheeks. If there is any puffiness, the important thing to remember is to not put it directly on the puff, but around it. I also use it for illuminating and correcting lip lines. Looking in the mirror, you may not see much improvement, but I suggest you try taking some pictures with a digital or polaroid camera, with and without the TE, to see the difference in the finished effect.
My only complaint is the inability to SEE when the pen is running out, which is why I buy them two at a time HTH.

It didn't cover my dark circle,and it made me look too pink.I may got the wrong colour.Anyway,I'll try another shade before giving up with this product.

I read all the bad reviews, and from my observation, I don't think this product is made for people who permanently have bags or super purple/dark circles. I personally LOVE this product, but I think it's meant to be used on people with just moderate dark circles resulted from heavy partying the night before or stuff like that. If you're one of those people that *always* have bags under your eyes because you were born with it, why not cure that first, THEN use this product. I mean, IT DOES makes your face glow, IF your skin condition is RIGHT for it. It's like if you know you have big bags under your eyes, why don't just go for concealers that are more of a solid than fluid?
It's like if I had dry skin, wouldn't it be wrong for me to give a matte pressed powder a bad review just because it's chalky on my face? Because what may be chalky on my face could be great on someone with oily skin. It's the same way with Radiant Touch. It's not meant for people with heavy dark circles and permanent baggies! No offense to anyone - just an observation. Other than that, this stuff is great. I use it over YSL Lisse Expert eye cream. Doesn't crease at all.

Tried this one night at Saks' and it didn't cover my hereditary dark circles at all - and it made my undereye/cheek area itch like the devil only a few minutes after application. Yikes!

I bought this product because everybody seemed to think it was the best thing covering dark undereyes. I was disappointed. It did not cover my purple shaded undereyes. It just seemed to make them worse. usually i also have some puffiness under my eyes and then using this product is definitely Not.
Not only that. Product started smelling weird very soon after I used it the first time. And it seemed to irritate my undereyes as well.

I am in love with this product to the extent that I want to buy a hundred of them to ensure I'll never have to go without. I bought and love it in #2, a yellow based color that lights up any place you put it, seemingly invisibly. It's an excellent product that I cannot do without now that I have tried it.

I'm glad I listened to all the raves. First of all I love the gold click pen packaging. I have this in #1. I first tested this on my hand and it was pink. I thought no way is this going to work for me. I wrong, this covers my dark circles. I tried under one eye first and compared. Wow, what a difference. I guess the pink tone plus light reflecting properties counteract the blue in undereye circles. I hope I don't have to repurchase anytime soon because it's expensive, but I'll probably be using this daily from now on so fat chance of that happening.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This product didn't really work for me. Firstly, the colour selection is very limiting- I'm yellow/neutral-toned Asian LLL-PPP, and neither shade suited me.
Secondly, the coverage. The applicator tip makes it incredibly difficult to apply the right amount of product, and what does go on doesn't hide my circles at all. By comparison, my Becca concealer is an absolute godsend.
Thirdly, the bizarre smell of the product, especially after a couple of months, or even weeks. I used share a counter with YSL, and there was a huge amount of irate returns for this reason.
For the price, not worth it. It might work for some people, but it's certainly not a miracle product. continued >>

Pontine Islands
The Pontine Islands are an archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy. The islands were collectively named after the largest island in the group, Ponza. The other islands in the archipelago are Palmarola, Zannone, and Gavi to the northwest, Ventotene and Santo Stefano to the southeast. These two groups are separated by 22 nautical miles (41 km). From Sabaudia-Cape Circeo peninsula to Zannone the distance is 12 nautical miles (22 km), while Ventotene faces Gaeta (21 miles). The minimum distance between Santo Stefano and the isle of Ischia is 22 nautical miles (41 km).
The archipelago is the result of volcanic activity and has been inhabited for thousands of years. Neolithic artifacts and Bronze Age obsidians have been excavated on the islands. The islands were used by the Etruscans who carved the "Blue Grottos". The earliest recorded history of the islands occurs with the Roman victory over the Volsci at 338 BC. According to a local legend, this was once the lost Kingdom of Tyrrhenia which sank with a narrow strip connected to mainland Italy.
During the reign of Rome's Caesar Augustus, residential expansion on the islands was encouraged and people spread from Ponza to Ventotene. Rome used the two islands as a retreat and a place to exile politically troubling citizens. Some two thousands years later the islands were used for the same reason by the Fascist regime.
The Pontine were abandoned during the Middle Ages due to constant raids by Saracens and pirates. During the 18th century, the Kingdom of Naples re-colonized the islands, and they later became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Ponza and Ventotene are populated, while the smaller islands are not. Ventotene and Santo Stefano are land and sea conservation areas supervised by the Italian State.
Currently, tiny vineyards, wild herbs and flowers, and secluded beaches and grottos make them a popular tourist destination.

"Admix has broad experience with gelling agents including gelatin, pectin and carrageenan. Gelatin and pectin are commonly used in the production of jams, jellies, jelly confections, marshmallow products, bakery fillings and icings, meat preserves, flavored milks, and some fruit drinks. In the past, it was often necessary to premix hydrocolloids of this nature with other inert powders such as sugar to act as a dispersant. In addition, temperature of the fluid at time of dispersing and hydration played a big factor.
With proper high shear as available with our Rotosolver or DynaShear, there is virtually no need to premix with solids and less concern with temperature. Temperature will always affect the ultimate viscosity, but with an Admix unit, complete and quick dispersion is assured, allowing hydration to proceed. For a typical gummy confection, with a 7 to 9% gelatin concentration, a conventional agitator could take well over 90 minutes to properly hydrate, while the Rotosolver should provide complete hydration in 10 minutes or less by fully activating every individual particle in the mix. Rotosolver dispersers are in service in over 100 processing lines using gelling agents providing high shear rates to intimately reduce and separate each pectin or gelatin particle to prevent fish eyes and balling."
If you are experiencing aeration problems, VacuShear could be your solution.

Members of Borknagar, Trained Musicians?
What members of Borknagar have taken lessons for their instruments, and can anyone in the band read music? Or is it just something done "by ear?" Just curious, as I think that you guys are all superb musicians (especially Tyr!).

Believe it or not, but I don't even know what a 4/4 beat is... I've had the idea for a couple of years now making a shirt where it says "4/4?".

Musical theory is probably very helpful to have but I seem to get by well enough doing things by ear. I can't even read music, only tablature and I have been playing guitar for about 5 years now. And Asgeir, you don't need to know 4/4, you seem to extremely well without it! Haha.

4 PSLs and 2007 Season Tickets for Sale - Section 136
Section 136, Row P, Seats 15-18
Season Tickets are $560 per seat (face value) PSLs - Negotiable (will be getting more than face value, so save us both time) Will possibly split into pairs Great shaded fieldlevel seats close to the action. Selling because we acquired sideline seats. Let me know if interested |
Nice to know the office is getting around to helping people with new seats. I sent my request in before the season even ended and haven't heard anything.
Called in and they act like I'm bothering them. Thats cuz I am...lol |
Actually it wasn't through the Texans - purchased them on the open market. I've tried that previous route of the upgrade request, and wasn't too sucessful, but you might have a better outcome. Good luck though...
Actually loved it - just wanted to start making a sideline move. Found some at end of last season in section 103. Little pricey, but we enjoyed sitting there last 2 games. To be honest, the wifey would like to keep the 136s for family and friends (and sit there occassionally because you're closer to the field), but I want to buy a new toy!!
Re: 4 PSLs and 2007 Season Tickets for Sale - Section 136
I am interested in your PSL's if you still have them. Reply to -firstname.lastname@example.com

Flying Scot - did I buy the wrong boat?

Re: Flying Scot - did I buy the wrong boat?
If you go on any forum for dinghy racers, a Flying Scot would be described as like sailing a brick outhouse. They have to be about the most stable centerboard boat ever made!
That said, they WILL capsize if you really put some effort into it. I would try about 30 knots and have the family all sit on the low side
That said, this boat is not ideal for reading and snoozing underway. It CAN capsize and I have a feeling it is a project to get back up again. I would consider doing the following:
1. Sell the FS to a local racer.
2. Buy a Sunfish or some other small cheap CB boat that can be quickly righted to play around with and learn to sail better. Lots of various types around and the key is they don't really hold water. Laser is another example, it can be righted and be underway in 20 seconds. AMong other things the "dreaded capsize" will no longer be a scary mystery.
3. Buy a 20-25 foot keelboat. Unless badly designed, keelboats *cannot* be capsized by wind. The worst thing that wind can do is lay them over about 90 degrees until someone lets a sail loose. If you get the right boat you'll have cockpit seats long enough to stretch out on and a small cabin to hide from storms and store things in. I don't know what you can find around you, but way back in the day the Cal 20 was ideal for this use.
Also suggest you crew for a FS racer. That will be fun

Jill Byrne's Handicapping
Race 1
Race 1 – Primed N Willing (3) is working sharply for her debut for top juvenile connections. Pearl of a Girl (6) hails from the top two year old barn of Wesley Ward and must be considered. Suits My Fancy (7) shows a couple of decent workouts and would be no surprise with these.
Race 2
Race 2 – Banjammer (7) is in good form versus slightly better company and gets the edge in this well matched group. Gold Legion (6) is well placed here and can usually be counted on to give a solid run. Flattermejim (5) is on a win roll but may want a bit more distance for his best efforts.
Race 3
Race 3 – More Than Beauty (5) comes from a powerful juvenile family and shows a speedy gate drill for her debut. Anatole (1) has been blazing in the morning for leading two year old trainer Ward and is the one to beat today. Redgrass Cat (6) has consistent though not flashy workouts for a strong stable.
Race 4
Race 4 – Gruenewald (8) returns to his favorite track and is always in the mix at this level over this surface. Mon Ami Jolie (5) made his stateside debut against much stronger company and now dives to the bottom level claimers. He should improve with a start and the class drop. Shore Do (3) takes blinkers off in his second start off a layoff and can land a share of this on is best performance.
Race 5
Race 5- Our Dark Knight (3) is in good form and well placed off the claim for a sharp stable. Gallant Eagle (1) is also in good form and exits a much stronger race last out. Practice Tee (4) has a good record at the mile distance and should get a good stalking trip today.
Race 6
Race 6 – Noun (3) drops in class and returns to the turf where she has a very good record. She can move forward in her second start of the year. Get Real (6) was an easy winner on the turf in New Orleans and should also appreciate the return back to that surface today. Elusive Echo (9) stopped sharply as the favorite but is capable of better and fits well here.
Race 7
Race 7 – Lalo's Baby Bear (3) is the new face to the local scene and has been running well against slightly better fields. Sir Jock (4) drops in class off a decent try last out and has run well locally. Temp (5) is consistent and was running well here in the fall. There appears to be plenty of pace to set up for his closing run.
Race 8
Race 8 – Tap Twenty One (2) has had some troubled trips on the main tracks and finally got a clear run when winning last out. She can move forward in her second start off the layoff and has the pedigree for the track and the distance. Pedestrian (4) has been knocking at the door in this condition and catches a fairly soft field today. She would be no surprise to finally break through here. Hitechnoweenie (7) ran evenly in her only main track effort here and is also eligible to improve in her second race of the year.
Race 9
Race 9 – Starship Gambler (9) improved off the claim by top connections last out and looks best here on top of the Super High Five. Sabouli (2) has been consistent since dropping to claiming company and has proven turf form. C P Hath A Way (3) ran a big effort in her 2013 debut and looks to move forward off that try. She should be a strong presence down the stretch. Moneygrabber (6) and Star of Kitalpha (1) round out the top 5. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 9-2-3-6-1

Wow, major shock, I imagine, going from Minneapolis to Greenville, SC. Say hello to Bob Jones for me. ^.^
Hello people, i'm 35yrs old from London, England. I love music, reasoning and reality. I noticed when i had a look around there are not alot of people from my side of the water. Would like to meet new people all the same, its not where your from its where your at that matters.
Howdy all! I'm Ty and I'm in Houston. My best brief run-down of me… Total extrovert and conversation junky. The only thing I love more than devouring books is seeing live music. I go to a lot of concerts (in the last two years I've probably seen about 60 bands). I listen to a variety of genres but I am most partial to indie rock, punk, classical, and grunge. I am a beer snob and wine geek. I like to think that I'm somewhat of a culinary adventurer. I enjoy all sorts of sports (rugby, football, tennis, and basketball are favorites) but don't follow any particular thing too closely. I love trivia like a unicorn loves pixie dust :-)
Hi everyone! I'm a recently divorced atheist; 34 years old; living in Owasso, Ok (suburb of Tulsa). I have an MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and work as a corporate recruiter. I grew up on a farm in SW Oklahoma, so I'm a strange mix of country girl and city girl. I like to get dirty and do outdoor activities, but I hate living in the boonies and can't stand country music.
As you might have guessed, I went for an education rather than kids. I like kids, I just never wanted any. I have 2 dogs who are my whole world: a 14 yr old Greyhound/Springer Spaniel mix and an 11 yr old Boxer.
I enjoy traveling, camping, kayaking, hiking, dancing, and reading. I like to wrestle with my dogs, so I often end up looking like a battered woman … lol. I also enjoy taking pictures, though I haven't had any formal training. I like just about all kinds of music besides country. I'm a particularly big fan of Deftones.
At any rate, I'd love to meet some atheists of the male variety. lol.
Greetings godless heathens... New Hampshire USA, 47 years old, looking for some new friends that don't come with magical baggage. Music, animals, cooking, camping and hiking.
Peace to you all. ;-)
Hello everyone. I am 21 years old and I live in India. I just completed my Aeronautical Engineering and now going to pursue masters in that. Well, I became atheist just an year back although I always had doubts pertaining to that. My past time is writing any stuff. i just completed a short book "The Insightful Mortal" the link of which is http://www.scribd.com/doc/229487986/The-Insightful-Mortal . I have been single all along because I have never found anyone of the same mentality and intellect I wish to have in my partner
Oh hell. Not many visitors, but why not?
About 6 years an atheist before my dad put my older sister and me into a Catholic school (he didn't trust himself to raise moral kids); about 20 years a Catholic before I tossed my parents and their religion, about 52 years an agnostic before a guy dared me to leave my closet; the rest of my 83 years a way-out atheist.
Early during my agnostic years, a six-year marriage to an agnostic woman and by agreement no kids. We joined the same singles club and our dancing surprised some new friends.
I'm in Yountville California, nine miles north of Napa, and was looking at my laptop screen when at 3:20AM on August 31 a 6.0 earthquake rattled the county and emptied half of my bookshelves. The only damage was to two ceramics pieces I'd finished a week earlier.
I read, write, do lightweight politics, chat about lots of stuff, and occasionally go to The City (SF).
RSVP. (Don't know French but I'm studying Spanish.)
... and who won't look at me with that pitying expression—most of us know it well—when I tell them that I am an atheist.
Awwwwww, and he seemed so nice. I wonder what happened?
Think carefully for a moment; do atheists who get a pitying expression use words that invite it?
Maybe 25 years ago I told a very bright woman that I seem to attract passive women. Without a moment's hesitation she asked me if something in my manner invites such women.
I was ready to see it (no longer needed to deny it) and I saw it. Happily I was doing volunteer work that gave me opportunities to practice new ways to relate.
I must have succeeded because right now I don't remember what I changed. I also no longer have that complaint; I enjoy occasional verbal combat with assertive women.
Hello, I'm Steve. I'm 49 and live in Columbia, Maryland. I haven't been on Atheist Nexus in quite a while. I'd like to meet someone in Central Maryland or who might be interested in eventually relocating to this area. My profile picture is only about a year old. The one below was taken in Prince William Forest Park, a great place to hike south of Washington DC.
Ask me anything...
Hi. Jeff. Been separated for several months, divorcing later this year. I'm on a few dating sites (cuz I'm not much of a partier), and figured atheistnexus might be a place to look. That and I miss the discussions and have a lot more time on my hands, now.
I'm originally from Chicago, recently transplanted to the Nashville area. I like outdoorsy stuff, gardening and farming. I do computers for a living. I have motivations towards off-the-grid living. All kinds of interests. Most notably (because politics seems so popular around here): I've been called a fascist and a radical in the same conversation by the same person. I think my opponent just didn't understand the meanings of the words.

Angels' chances of landing SP 'below average'
The non-waiver Trade Deadline is now only five days away, and the Angels continue to work diligently to find a reliable starter for their rotation or an additional weapon for their bullpen, or both.
Can first-year general manager Jerry Dipoto work his magic to shore up some glaring holes on the Angels' staff?
The chips are stacked against him, it seems.
A source with knowledge of the team's thinking described the Angels' chances of acquiring a starter as "below average and diminishing" on Thursday. The asking prices are too high, the competition for pitching is too intense – largely due to the additional Wild Card that has more teams in the hunt than ever – and the Angels don't have an abundance of intriguing prospects to offer up.
That, and a $155 million payroll with little wiggle room, has made the Angels' search for a starter "an uphill task," the source said – before adding, "But don't underestimate Jerry."
The Angels continue to search for additional bullpen pieces, particularly a cost-controlled lefty. But it's starting pitching – the one area that seemed rock solid at the start of the year – that seems most necessary considering the struggles of Ervin Santana and the recent back troubles of Dan Haren.
But how many feasible upgrades are out there?
Cole Hamels has agreed to a lucrative extension to stay in Philadelphia, the Marlins seem unwilling to part ways with Josh Johnson, Wandy Rodriguez has moved on to the Pirates, Matt Garza has some elbow issues, Ryan Dempster seemingly only wants to pitch for the Dodgers and Francisco Liriano is fresh off giving up seven runs in 2 2/3 innings, putting his ERA at 5.31.
That makes the competition for the likes of James Shields (signed pretty affordably through 2014) and Zack Greinke (free-agent-to-be) quite fierce.
It would be a shock, a source said, if the Angels were to move Garrett Richards, who's 24, cost-controlled for five more seasons and boasts a ton of upside. Young center fielder Peter Bourjos, a reserve with Mike Trout now in the fold, is perhaps their biggest chip – though Dipoto has publicly said he's unwilling to trade him because he's still a big part of their future. Then there are prospects like middle infielder Jean Segura, catcher Hank Conger, first baseman C.J. Cron and pitcher John Hellweg, among others, who could be expendable in the right package.
More on Angels.com soon.

Report: Napoli, Rivera for Wells
According to FOXSports, the Angels have agreed to deal catcher Mike Napoli and outfielder Juan Rivera to the Toronto Blue Jays for outfielder Vernon Wells, who waived his no-trade clause in the report by Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi.
Wells has $86 million coming in the remaining four years on his contract and can opt out after drawing $23 million in 2011. He could move into center field or play left with Peter Bourjos in center field and Torii Hunter in right. Wells had 33 homers and 88 RBIs in 2011 and owns three Gold Gloves. He is 32 and has spent his entire career in Toronto, emerging as a regular in 2002.
The Blue Jays could combine Napoli with former Angels teammate Jose Molina behind the plate, along with J.P. Arenciba and also give the slugger playing time at first base, where he performed capably last season in Kendry Morales' absence. Napoli is arbitration-eligible and has asked for $6.1 million while the Angels proposed an offer of $5.3 million. He led the club with 26 home runs last year.
Rivera is owed $5.25 million on the final year of his contract. Combined, Napoli and Rivera would account for roughly half of Wells' 2011 salary. Adding Wells would lift the Angels' payroll into the $150 million range, but they are receiving an unspecified amount of cash in the trade.
The swap would leave the Angels with Jeff Mathis, Bobby Wilson and Hank Conger as their catchers. — Lyle Spencer

About this location
The Tuscany region
Tuscany is one of Italy's best-loved regions. A beautiful and diverse landscape, the region of Tuscany nestles between the blue green Apennines and the Turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea. It is one of the most visited parts of Italy as visitors flock to see the famous art cities, Pisa, Lucca, Siena and Florence, Its breathtaking scenery of rolling hills and cypresses and last but not least to sample its excellent food and wine.
The apartment is situated within the Province of Pisa. For those who enjoy sightseeing and shopping, the city with its famous Leaning Tower and quaint cobbled shopping zone is only 25 to 30 minutes away, although there is much more to see in Pisa than the Leaning Tower. Take a map and a guide book and discover the small lanes and market squares with hidden shops, restaurants and cafés Or head for the River Arno which runs through the city centre. Here you can take a city boat tour or just relax at one of the cafés. It is also possible to hire bikes & rickshaws to explore or take one of the official walking tours.
In Ancient times Pisa was an important port. Today the port has gone but you can still enjoy a day or two at the coast. Marina di Pisa and the Tyrrhenian coast is just a 30 minute drive away from Vicopisano. Here you will find mostly sandy beaches, lounge bars on the sand, seafood restaurants and wonderful sunsets.
The beautiful medieval walled city of Lucca can be reached in just over half an hour and is well worth a visit, especially in the summer months when its streets are filled with the sound of Puccini. The city is mainly a car fee zone and most citizens get around by bicycles. To feel like a local and explore the city hire a bike at one of the main gates - it's a great way to see the city. A short distance away is Torre del Lago, a small town where you can visit not only Puccini's home but also attend the Puccini opera festival which generally runs throughout the summer months.
Florence needs no introduction with its world famous galleries and monuments, also famous for its shopping and stylish boutiques. It's an easy 45 minute drive away or better still take the train from one of the nearby railway stations.
Both delightful places to visit and worth a daytrip. Vinci is the birthplace of the famous Leonardo da Vinci, where you can visit a museum dedicated to the Renaissance master and the stone house where he was born .
Volterra is an atmospheric hill town famous for alabaster, (and now the famous Twilight saga) and Etruscan, Roman and Medieval sites are scattered throughout the town. Both Vinci and Volterra are easily reached from Vicopisano and take just under an hour.
The Chianti region with its characteristic towns & villages, such a San Gimignano can be reached within an hour and a half with Siena being just under 2 hours away.
Nestled on the lower slopes of the Monte Pisano is the sleepy Medieval village of Vicopisano which has been described as one of the most beautiful villages in Tuscany.
To visit the historic centre of Vicopisano is like stepping back in time with its Medieval towers, cobbled pathways and hidden lanes. Away from the more beaten tracks of Tuscany but close enough to visit its famous sites, Vicopisano is a place where you will witness a more authentic Tuscany where you will see villagers enjoying their morning cappuccino at the local bar, school children queuing for ice cream at the local gelateria, a three wheeler Api (small agricultural vehicle) piled high with local produce and the summer long festivals themed around good food, dining alfresco and dancing under the stars.
The Medieval village of Vicopisano once had more than a hundred towers dotting it's skyline and was famous for its tower houses which were built by noble merchants. These noble merchants flocked to the village in Medieval times due to the village's strategic position. Today these Medieval town houses can still be seen but alas most of the towers have been cut down in size. Despite this there are still many visible towers within in the village.
The village is dominated by the Medieval watch tower and fortress of the Renaissance master Fillipo Brunelleschi. The fortress is now open to the public at the weekends, and the small entrance fee includes a guided tour starting from the dungeons right up to the top of the domineering watch tower. From the top of the tower there is a fabulous photo opportunity to snap or video the spectacular surrounding countryside. The tours are usually lead by Professor Giovanni Fascetti and his team who will not only guide you though this Medieval masterpiece but also give you some insight into the village's history and curiosities.
Well worth a visit is the local parish church PIEVE DI SANTA MARIA. The Church was first mentioned in 934 AD, but documents infer that it already existed some time before. The present construction dates back to the 12th Century and is a well-preserved example of a Pisan-Romanesque church. Positioned in the apse is a magnificent wooden sculpture of the Descent of Christ from the Cross, it dates back to the very early part of the 13th Century. On the massive interior stone walls traces of some 13th Century frescos can be seen of which some have been recently restored.
Nearby public pool 3 miles / 5km / 5 mins drive . Nearest Beach 19 miles / 30km / 30 mins drive. PISA 14 miles / 22km / 20 mins drive / local bus from village. LUCCA: 33 miles / 53km / 45 mins drive / public transport option. FLORENCE 43 miles / 69km / 1 hour drive / train 45 mins. Train station 5 miles / 7.5km / 10 mins drive or bus from village.
