Jarred Cosart Rumors
MLB Rules That Cosart Did Not Bet On Baseball
Major League Baseball has announced that its investigation into a gambling-related matter with Jarred Cosart revealed that the Marlins right-hander did not bet on baseball. Cosart has, however, been fined for violating an MLB rule by placing bets on other sports through a book maker. The league's official statement is as follows:
"Major League Baseball has completed its investigation into Jarred Cosart's possible connection to sports-related gambling. The investigation did not reveal any evidence to suggest that Cosart, who fully cooperated with the investigation, bet on baseball. Cosart has received an undisclosed fine for violations of Major League Rule 21(d)(3) that were revealed during the investigation. Major League Rule 21(d)(3) prohibits players from placing bets with illegal book makers, or agents for illegal book makers. This rule is strictly enforced and applies to gambling with illegal bookmakers on any sport or event."
Cosart himself has also issued a statement, via press release from the Major League Baseball Players Association:
"I have never, nor would I ever, bet on the great game of baseball. Major League Baseball conducted a thorough investigation, and I cooperated fully with them and their investigators throughout that process. I'm sorry for any distractions this may have caused the Marlins, my teammates, coaches, and our incredible fans. I'm glad to bring closure to this situation before Opening Day and I look forward to a great season."

Jarred Cosart Says He Did Not Bet On Baseball
Marlins starter Jarred Cosart briefly addressed the league's inquiry into a still-obscure, gambling-related issue, telling Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald: "I never have, never will bet on baseball."
That statement certainly indicates that Cosart does not believe he did anything that would trigger discipline, at least not pursuant to Rule 21(d), which prohibits gambling on baseball games. Cosart added that he hopes the league will wrap up its investigation by Opening Day, which of course is only days away.
Cosart declined comment otherwise. "That's the only statement I can come out with right now," he said. "I'm letting MLB security [handle the rest]. They've investigated my Twitter. I had to speak to some people from their offices last week, but I'm in a good position on it, I'm confident. Like I said, it's kind of just in the commissioners hands now and we'll see what he does with it."

MLB Looking Into Gambling-Related Issue Involving Jarred Cosart
TODAY: Cosart briefly addressed the situation today, telling reporters that he was simply following MLB's protocol, per MLB.com's Joe Frisaro (Twitter links). Cosart also said that he was not behind the creation of a new Twitter account, attributed to him, which had figured into some reports on the matter.
YESTERDAY: Major League Baseball is looking into ambiguous gambling-related claims on Twitter involving Marlins starter Jarred Cosart, Tim Elfrink of the Miami New Times reports.
To be clear, all that is known at present is that the league is exploring the matter. The league is quick to pursue information regarding any gambling-related issues, and its involvement should not be read to imply any wrongdoing, or even suspicion thereof.
As Elfrink explains, a Twitter user has posted screenshots of purported Direct Messages sent from Cosart's Twitter account regarding an unspecified betting matter. Cosart's Twitter account has since been deleted. It is not even yet apparent whether there is any credible suggestion that Cosart has engaged in any gambling-related activities, let alone actions involving the game of baseball in any way.
Given the highly uncertain underlying issue here, and the fact that it is not even clear whether MLB intends to conduct a full investigation, it is far too soon even to speculate whether there are any possible grounds for future discipline. For sake of reference, MLB Rule 21(d) prohibits players from "bet[ting] any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game," providing a one-year ban if such activities occur with regard to a game in which "the better has no duty to perform" and a lifetime ban in which the bettor does.

NL East Notes: Phillies, Nats Payroll, Cosart, Ichiro
Pat Gillick is a curious choice to serve as the Phillies' president, writes David Murphy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Murphy feels that the decision to move David Montgomery from president to chairman, with Gillick remaining president, was little more than a cosmetic change to buy time before a larger restructuring. That, he writes, would seem to suggest that GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is capable of doing something to save his job, as the reason for that evaluation would be to determine which of these three options are the best: replace Amaro, extend Amaro, or hire a new permanent president and let that newcomer determine the front office situation. As Murphy notes, no evaluation of the moves Amaro will make over the coming months will be able to be judged immediately (he'll be acquiring prospects that will take years to properly evaluate), making the recent shuffle all the more puzzling. Gillick has expressed no interest in overseeing a lengthy rebuild, per Murphy, who adds that he may not be well-equipped to do so anyway based on his lack of success in the draft.
Other items pertaining to the National League East:
- The Nationals are nearing — and will likely exceed — $160MM in Opening Day commitments for the coming season, writes Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post. That would put the team amongst the five highest salary tabs in the league, a level of spending that seemed hard to imagine in the not-so-distant past. GM Mike Rizzo told MLBTR at the GM Meetings that the organization would make baseball decisions without payroll restrictions, and that has indeed seemed largely to be the case.
- Marlins righty Jarred Cosart is now represented by agent Erik Burkhardt, ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick tweets. Burkhardt is best known, perhaps, for repping NFL quarterback (and recent MLB draftee) Johnny Manziel. Cosart had previously been a client of Excel Sports Management. The 24-year-old will not be arbitration eligible until after the 2016 campaign.
- There is no denying the excellence that Ichiro Suzuki has displayed over his outstanding career, but it is fair to ask what kind of production — and presence — he will deliver to the Marlins in 2015. Crasnick spoke with various talent evaluators and executives around the game, with the consensus seeming to be that Ichiro is certainly still capable of being a useful big league player.

NL Notes: Harper, Zimmermann, Marlins, Pirates, Rasmus
The latest salvo in Bryce Harper's grievance against the Nationals over his arbitration eligibility was fired yesterday when Harper failed to appear at NatsFest, the team's annual fan convention. Nationals GM Mike Rizzo told reporters, including James Wagner of the Washington Post, "We're disappointed he's not here, but he chose not to be here because of the grievance." Harper responded with a statement provided by his representatives and quoted by Wagner, "I have attended NatsFest each year and always enjoy my experience with the fans, but was unable to attend this year's event due to matters out of my control. I look forward to next year's NatsFest." The grievance hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in New York. If Harper wins his grievance, MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects a $2.5MM arbitration award for the outfielder (as opposed to the $1.5MM base his contract stipulates for 2015), which will create a larger platform for future arbitration earnings.
In other news and notes involving the National League:
- Jordan Zimmermann reiterated his desire to sign an extension with the Nationals, but only at the right price, reports CSNWashington.com's Chase Hughes. "If it's a fair value, like I have said all along, I would gladly sign," said Zimmermann. "But at the end of the day, it's gotta be something that's fair and if it's not, then I'll be moving on."
- The Marlins are not willing to trade either Henderson Alvarez or Jarred Cosart for a first baseman, tweets Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Jackson also reports the Marlins have had more talks with Michael Morse in recent days and he represents the best realistic option to upgrade the position.
- The Marlins are listening to offers for right-hander Nathan Eovaldi; but, while the Pirates view him as a "terrific young pitcher" and "someone we'll keep looking at," club president Frank Coonelly says they are not close to bringing him to Pittsburgh, tweets MLB.com's Tom Singer.
- In a separate Singer tweet, Coonelly also downplays the return of Edinson Volquez. "Two years for $20MM not far off for Volquez," Coonelly said. "He could get that. It probably won't be here."
- The Cubs have met recently with Colby Rasmus and are one of several teams to show interest in him, reports Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes identified the Cubs as a potential landing spot for Rasmus back in September while the Orioles and Royals have also been linked to the free agent center fielder.
- With the elevation of Jeff Bridich to general manager, Rockies manager Walt Weiss has more independence in running the team with the front office no longer maintaining an offfice in the clubhouse and is more involved in player personnel decisions, writes Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post.

Quick Hits: Twins, Colon, Cosart
The Twins should look to the Cardinals, Braves, and A's as role models, writes Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com. Like the Twins, those three clubs are middle class franchises, yet they also consistently succeed against the top payrolls in baseball. Mackey highlights a few traits to emulate. Minnesota should seek to supplement their upcoming prospects with affordable trade and free agent acquisitions. They can't be afraid to trade a player at the height of his value (Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau come to mind). It also wouldn't hurt to avoid bad contracts and exploit platoon hitters like Trevor Plouffe.
- While Mackey highlights Plouffe as somebody the Twins could platoon, Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune thinks the club should trade him before the waiver deadline later tonight. Plouffe was considered a bridge to top prospect Miguel Sano, who missed this season recovering from Tommy John surgery, but now the club can get similar offense and better utility from Eduardo Escobar. Danny Santana, who Souhan considers the Twins shortstop of the future, could move from center field to shortstop with Escobar shifting from short to third base. Lastly, Aaron Hicks could get another shot at the big leagues before Byron Buxton blocks him.
- Bartolo Colon is still expected to remain with the Mets through the trade deadline, tweets Matt Ehalt of the North Jersey Recorder. As Ehalt notes, things could change between now and the end of the day.
- Jarred Cosart has an "extra chip on his shoulder" following his trade from the Astros to the Marlins, reports Craig Davis of the Sun Sentinel. Cosart has helped to keep the Marlins long shot playoff hopes alive with a 1.64 ERA in five starts. Based on the pitcher's comments, he was a little irked by the surprise deadline deal. Miami received quite a bit of criticism for the package they sent to Houston (Colin Moran, Jake Marisnick, and a 2015 competitive balance pick), but pundits will sing a different tune if Cosart continues to dominate opponents. Looking at his peripherals, Cosart's short term success seems to depend on a 1.91 BB/9 that's roughly half his typical walk rate.

Marlins Acquire Jarred Cosart, Enrique Hernandez For Colin Moran, Jake Marisnick, Comp Pick
The Marlins have announced a multi-player trade with the Astros that will bring starter Jarred Cosart, shortstop Enrique Hernandez, and outfielder Austin Wates to Miami in exchange for third baseman Colin Moran, outfielder Jake Marisnick, pitcher Francis Martes, and the Marlins' 2015 compensation pick.
In short, both of baseball's worst teams from 2013 have shuffled a series of young players in a deal that could have wide-ranging repercussions for both franchises. Miami was said to be chasing a young arm, and that's exactly what they got. But it came at a fairly steep price.
In Cosart, the Marlins are getting a pitcher who came to Houston in the 2011 Hunter Pence deal and has blossomed somewhat in the last two seasons. The 24-year-old has a 4.41 ERA through 116 1/3 frames with 5.8 K/9 against 3.9 BB/9 and a sterling 56.5% groundball rate. That has been good for a 4.02 FIP, 4.28 xFIP, and 4.42 SIERA — hardly ace-level numbers, to be sure, but useful and promising enough given his age. Of course, much of Cosart's value lies in the fact that he will not even be eligible for arbitration until 2017.
Miami also added some other useful pieces in the trade. Hernandez reached the big leagues this year at just 22 years of age, and owns an impressive .284/.348/.420 slash line through 89 plate appearances. He had slashed .336/.379/.503 in the upper minors, which itself represented a major step up in his results for the youngster. Wates, 25, is something of an on-base machine: he owns a .303/.381/.415 career triple-slash in the minors. Though he does not bring much power to the table, he does have 31 stolen bases this year in his first extended action at Triple-A.
For Houston, the deal brought a variety of goodies in return. Moran was the 6th overall pick in last year's draft, and numerous reports suggest that he was seriously under consideration with the Astros' first overall selection. Though he has not exactly dominated at High-A at age 21 (.294/.342/.393), he is not far removed from the amateur ranks and has plenty of time to develop.
Marisnick, meanwhile, is expected to slot right into the club's lineup. A perennial top-100 prospect who was somewhat blocked in Miami, he has struggled in limited MLB exposure (.183/.231/.248 line in 169 total plate appearances). But the right-handed hitting outfielder, still only 23, has a .277/.326/.434 line in his 377 Triple-A plate appearances.
And then there is the compensation pick, which will come in the first available slot and carries a good bit of value (delivering immense flexibility to a Houston club that will have two high first-round choices next year). The final piece, Martes, is just 18 years old. The Dominican native has worked at the Rookie level this year, tossing 29 innings of 4.97 ERA ball and working both in relief and as a starter.
Brian McTaggart (via Twitter) first reported the deal. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (via Twitter), Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle (via Twitter), and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter) all reported details of the players involved.

Astros Open To Trading Keuchel, McHugh, Cosart
TUESDAY, 7:11pm: Houston is reluctant to deal Keuchel, a GM tells Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle, who discusses the club's decisions on whether to deal arms that come with future control. The Orioles could be a fit for the emergent southpaw if the Astros are willing to part with him, sources tell Drellich.
1:18pm: The Astros are getting increased calls about their pitchers after yesterday's comments from Luhnow, reports MLB.com's Brian McTaggart (on Twitter). The goal remains the same, says McTaggart: MLB-ready offense.
MONDAY, 6:21pm: When asked about prospective deals Houston GM Jeff Luhnow said there's "nothing that feels close" at this time, tweets Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. The GM went on to say (link), "There's conversations happening and there have been for the past week multiple conversations happening every day."
5:32pm: The Astros have previously said that they weren't inclined to move left-hander Dallas Keuchel or right-hander Collin McHugh, both of whom are in the midst of breakout seasons, but Luhnow softened his stance when speaking to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (12:23 timestamp in the update window). The Houston GM tells Rosenthal that the lack of available starting pitching has prompted him to consider dealing Keuchel, McHugh, or right-hander Jarred Cosart:
"We do seem to have an excess of pretty good young starters so we wouldn't rule anything out. We'd have to get back a big-league piece, preferably a bat, in a package that makes sense for the future and present."
The 26-year-old Keuchel can be controlled through the 2018 season, while McHugh, 27, and Cosart, 24, are controllable through the 2019 campaign. Keuchel and McHugh, in particular, have had surprisingly strong seasons, with Keuchel posting a 3.11 ERA in 127 1/3 innings, and McHugh notching a 3.45 ERA with 102 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings (10.4 K/9).
Keuchel was Houston's seventh-round selection in the 2009 draft, while McHugh was claimed off waivers (Houston had tried to trade for him in 2013), and Cosart was acquired in the Hunter Pence deal back in 2011. None of three are eligible for arbitration after the season. Keuchel will be arb-eligible following the 2015 season, while Cosart and McHugh are eligible following the 2016 season.

Astros' Trade Discussion Notes Leaked
4:30pm: The Astros have issued the following statement regarding the leaked notes:
"Last month, we were made aware that proprietary information held on Astros' servers and in Astros' applications had been illegally obtained. Upon learning of the security breach, we immediately notified MLB security who, in turn, notified the FBI. Since that time, we have been working closely with MLB security and the FBI to the determine the party, or parties, responsible. This information was illegally obtained and published, and we intend to prosecute those involved to the fullest extent.
"It is unfortunate and extremely disappointing that an outside source has illegally obtained confidential information. While it does appear that some of the content released was based on trade conversations, a portion of the material was embellished or completely fabricated."
2:29pm: Extensive trade discussion notes, apparently logged by Astros executives about their talks with other teams, have been leaked onto the site AnonBin here and here, with Deadspin breaking the story and Yahoo's Jeff Passan verifying the authenticity of the logs. The earliest notes are from June 2013, and the latest are from March of this year. The Astros have yet to comment on the leak, which provides unprecedented detail into how the team values players and approaches trade discussions. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Astros have been reaching out to people around baseball apologizing for the leaks, and plan to issue a statement soon.
A March feature by Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle outlines Ground Control, the Astros' confidential internal database from which the trade discussion notes were likely taken. At this time, it's unclear whether the information reached the Internet via a rogue employee of the team, or by some kind of security vulnerability in Ground Control. The trade discussion information, mostly from last summer and offseason, is somewhat dated in the fast-moving baseball hot stove world. The larger ramification is the breach of trust experienced by the many non-Astros executives cited in the notes. It's unlikely any team would rule out the Astros as a trading partner based on this breach, but some teams could approach talks with added caution. Additionally, I imagine the many other teams with such highly sensitive material online are doubling down on security right now.
The Astros' trade notes from last summer and offseason range from the blockbuster to the mundane; here are some highlights.
- On November 15th, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow expressed interest with Marlins GM Dan Jennings in slugger Giancarlo Stanton. From the notes: "[Jennings] said he doesn't think he'll trade Stanton and the only deal he could think of from us that would work would be [George] Springer and [Carlos] Correa. [Luhnow] said that would not work. [Luhnow] posited a deal around [Jarred] Cosart and [Delino] DeShields." It's not a big surprise that Luhnow rejected Jennings' proposal out of hand, as Correa and Springer were ranked #4 and #19 on Keith Law's top 100 prospects list for ESPN, and are major building blocks for Houston. That Luhnow didn't appear to offer either player suggests he was mostly gauging Stanton's price after an off-year with three years of control remaining. UPDATE: Jennings has commented to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, saying it's fabricated that they ever offered Stanton to the Astros or any other team, also using the word "laughable."
- Interest in Astros catcher Jason Castro was strong last offseason, with a few surprising suitors. The Blue Jays and Rangers reached out in mid-October to gauge Castro's price, the White Sox had "definite high interest," and Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told Luhnow in November that he was getting calls from other teams asking if he could get Castro from the Astros for those teams. Zduriencik offered Dustin Ackley and was turned down.
- Notes for the Astros' summer trade discussions begin at June 17th, 2013. The team ultimately went on to acquire Ronald Torreyes from the Cubs in June, and also dealt veterans Jose Veras, Bud Norris, and Justin Maxwell near the July deadline. The Astros did not end up acquiring any top 100-type prospects, but they sure did ask for the moon. For Norris, the Astros sought Kyle Crick and Clayton Blackburn from the Giants, Dylan Bundy or Kevin Gausman from the Orioles, Marcus Stroman and more from the Blue Jays, Xander Bogaerts, Allen Webster, Jackie Bradley Jr., or Garin Cecchini from the Red Sox, and Tyler Glasnow plus Luis Heredia or Nick Kingham from the Pirates. The Red Sox offered Ryan Lavarnway or Deven Marrero for Norris and were turned down. In the end, the Astros traded Norris and an international draft slot to the Orioles for L.J. Hoes, Josh Hader, and a 2014 competitive balance pick.
- When Nationals GM Mike Rizzo called to express interest in middling Astros starting pitcher Lucas Harrell, who had a 5.17 ERA at the time and nearly as many walks as strikeouts, "[Luhnow] told him we would still need a headliner like [Lucas] Giolito because we still value Harrell highly. Rizzo did not respond immediately."
Harrell was designated for assignment, outrighted, and traded for a pittance nine months later, so the Astros might have overplayed their hand.
- "Untouchable" players from other teams were revealed through conversations with their executives. White Sox GM Rick Hahn wouldn't consider trading Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Jose Abreu, or Avisail Garcia. Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos considered Brett Lawrie off-limits. Pirates outfield prospect Gregory Polanco came up as well, in that GM Neal Huntington wouldn't include him in any Norris deal. In December talks regarding Harrell, the Giants said they would not discuss Brandon Belt.
- More random notes: Mets executive Paul DePodesta asked Luhnow if the Astros would consider trading shortstop Jonathan Villar in a Daniel Murphy deal in December…the Marlins expressed interest in Jose Altuve, Matt Dominguez, and others in December.

Quick Hits: Walker, Mets, Padres
Monday's game between the Astros and the Mariners will feature Jarred Cosart and Taijuan Walker, two top 100 prospects who made their debuts this year, MLB.com's Jason Mastrodonato reports. Before the season, Cosart was ranked the No. 73 prospect in baseball by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo and No. 86 by ESPN's Keith Law. Mayo ranked Walker baseball's No. 4 prospect, and Law had Walker at No. 9. The game will also be Walker's first at Safeco Field, and his last of 2013. Here are more notes from around the Majors.
- The Mets could pursue a free agent shortstop in the coming offseason, Andy Martino of New York Daily News writes. Stephen Drew might be a possibility, and Yunel Escobar could be as well if the Rays decline his option, Martino reports. It seems doubtful that Escobar will be on the free agent market, but Drew, who is making $9.5MM this season, might make sense. (Other free agent options include Jhonny Peralta and Clint Barmes; you can find the full list of free agents here.) Martino quotes a team official calling Ruben Tejada a "very disappointing kid," but it's still possible that Tejada could be the Mets' starting shortstop next year as well.
- Padres manager Bud Black says had at least some interest in veteran pitcher Roy Oswalt before Oswalt signed with the Rockies, reports MLB.com's Corey Brock (on Twitter). Oswalt has struggled through four starts for Colorado this season.
- The difference between Xander Bogaerts and Derek Jeter mirrors the differences between the Red Sox and Yankees franchises in general, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes. Bogaerts, a dynamic young player, allowed the Sox to ship off Jose Iglesias (and three young players) in order to get Jake Peavy. Meanwhile, Jeter is declining and injury-prone. And more broadly, Sherman says, the Sox appear to have a well-stocked roster in place not only for 2013, but also for next year, whereas the Yankees' will feature a number of albatross contracts.

New SDA rate cut possible
BSP chief wants loans to support job creation
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—As speculations abound that the interest rate on special deposit accounts (SDAs) would be slashed further, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said it could not rule out another rate cut.
BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. said the monetary authority wanted banks to withdraw some of their funds from the SDA facility and use these to lend more to businesses in support of job-generating investments.
"What the BSP is trying to do is encourage a shift of the funds out of the SDA and to the real sector. This is the reason for the past rate cuts," Tetangco told reporters.
"We will have to study that," the BSP chief said when asked if another cut in the SDA rate was necessary to achieve the objective of fueling more investment activities within the economy.
Since the start of the year, the BSP has cut the interest rate on SDAs three times, each by 50 basis points. The moves have brought the rate to a historic low of 2 percent.
Latest data from the BSP showed that as of April 12, deposits at the SDA facility of the central bank hit a new record high of P1.98 trillion despite the first two rate cuts in January and March.
It remains to be seen whether the last rate cut, implemented on April 25, has started to encourage banks to pull out some of their deposits. Some financial market players, however, suspected that any further drop in the amount of SDA funds, if at all, would not be big given the inherent attractiveness of the SDAs.
Apart from being virtually risk-free, they said SDAs still offered a higher interest rate compared with short-term government securities.
Bank lending actually was growing at a double-digit pace, but the BSP wanted to see the robust credit growth being sustained to support higher investments.
The BSP earlier reported that total loans of universal and commercial banks in the country reached P3.22 trillion as of the end of March, up 14.2 percent from P2.82 trillion as of the same period last year.
Tetangco said there was room for credit to grow in the Philippines, noting that credit-to-GDP ratio (which is the proportion of total outstanding loans from banks and non-banks to the economy's gross domestic product) of less than 50 percent was still significantly lower than in neighboring countries. He said that in some countries, the ratio stood at more than 100 percent.
The BSP wanted credit to go particularly to businesses that generate jobs, rather than in portfolio assets, so that the economy's growth would translate to higher employment and lower poverty.
But Tetangco said bank loans alone would not be enough to boost investments. He said credit growth should be complemented by rising investments in infrastructure, one of the crucial requirements of foreign investors in deciding to do business in a country.

Jamahal Private Resort & Spa
Jalan Uluwatu 1, Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
It would be easy enough to say that the Jamahal Private Resort & Spa is the sort of place where your dreams meet reality, especially if those dreams involve sun, surf, and your significant other. We're not really that sort of website — nevertheless we are comfortable saying that this thirteen-room hideaway in Jimbaran, a calmer area of lively Bali, certainly meets our standards for a fun place to spend a little together time.
Greenery abounds, turning every nook into a clandestine jungle enclave. Sure, you could leave the property for a round at the nearby golf course, a swim in the Indian Ocean, or a walk along the private beach. But, depending on your villa, you'll have a private pool, indoor/outdoor bathroom in the traditional Balinese style, possibly a jacuzzi at your disposal. Some villas open onto the manmade lagoon, where you can take your meals listening to the nearby waterfall. Another option, for eating, relaxing, etc., is to lay on one of the outdoor beds — yes, beds — covered with a thatched roof and jutting out into the lagoon. Perhaps unsurprisingly, guests must be over sixteen.
Too often tropical resorts provide luxury at the expense of natural resources. Not so here, happily. Its newest buildings utilize environmentally sensitive, low impact materials and best practices. Most rooms have high ceilings and floors made of merbau, a strong indigenous wood flecked with distinctive gold spots. A green attitude even extends to the nicely appointed spa, which relies on local recipes and ingredients for its treatments: try the coffee scrub followed by the yogurt bath, or go in for the couples' package, which concludes with a dinner lit by, apparently, a thousand candles.
Please note: For most periods of the year, there is 3-night minimum stay requirement at Jamahal Private Resort & Spa.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Spa voucher worth $50 US
- A luxurious bath salt selection for a minimum stay of 3 nights (a value of US$45)

Sam Bradford threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Lance Kendricks on the opening drive, and the St. Louis Rams led Arizona 7-3 after one quarter Thursday night. The Rams, ranked 27th in offense, came out throwing, with Bradford completing passes of 14 yards to Brandon Gibson and 44 yards Danny Amendola on the first two plays from scrimmage in the game, setting up the score to Kendricks on third down. It was the first offensive touchdown in three games for St. Louis (2-2). Arizona responded with a drive that lasted 9:24, ending with Jay Feely's 35-yard field goal. The Cardinals kept the drive alive with three third-down conversions. Larry Fitzgerald's 5-yard catch on the first play of the drive marked the 122nd straight game with a catch, a franchise record. Arizona entered the game 4-0, joining Atlanta and Houston as the only remaining unbeaten teams. The Cardinals were still the St. Louis Cardinals the last time they were 4-0, in 1974. Known as the ''Big Red,'' those Cardinals won t...

Data shows Success in Louisiana's Redesign of Teacher Education Programs
Data shows Success in Louisiana's Redesign of Teacher Education Programs
New teachers performing better than expected
BATON ROUGE, LA - The Louisiana Board of Regents released the 2011-2012 Annual Report for Teacher Preparation, which unveils findings on the performance of new and redesigned teacher preparation programs delivered by public universities, private universities, and private providers in Louisiana.
The report shows that 50 percent or more of new teachers trained in state approved teacher preparation programs made gains in student achievement with value-added scores in the effective: proficient or highly effective ranges in at least one content area. The new teachers are compared to all public school teachers who provide instruction in the same content area of tested grade levels. The Louisiana Department of Education assigns all teachers who provide instruction in tested grade levels in public schools, value –added scores that are based upon predicted student growth. These scores fall in one of four ranges- ineffective, effective: emerging, effective: proficient, and highly effective.
"We are extremely pleased with the results presented in this report- many of our new teachers have students who are demonstrating gains in achievement in specific content areas," said Jeanne Burns, Louisiana Board of Regents' Associate Commissioner for Teacher and Leadership Initiatives. "It was predicted that most first and second year teachers would have scores in the effective: emerging range because they are being compared to all teachers and do not have as much experience; however, our data indicate that these teachers are already demonstrating effectiveness, and we expect even greater levels of effectiveness as they gain experience."
Teacher preparation programs in Louisiana underwent major redesign from 2001-2010. These reforms helped to address previous challenges new teachers were facing and contributed to their current success. Program improvements include a greater alignment to the standards of effectiveness for teachers and student curriculums, enhanced partnerships with school districts to facilitate high-quality clinical experiences and learning opportunities, and the requirement of teacher candidates to pass all teacher licensure exams and meet teacher certification requirements prior to completion of their programs at most universities.
"This is evidence that the reforms within our teacher preparation programs are working," said Commissioner Jim Purcell. "Many believe that students will learn less if taught by new teachers and this simply is untrue. This report is indicates that our universities are producing better prepared teachers who will impact gains in student achievement."
Prior to the redesign, passage rates for Louisiana state licensure assessments at graduation were once as low as 33 percent at some institutions. In addition, all teacher preparations programs are now nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) or Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), now known as the Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP). As a result, Louisiana's teacher preparation programs now provide a systemic approach to preparing aspiring teachers for a successful career in the classroom, and a more rigorous threshold to ensure success.
Educator preparation has also been frequently discussed on a national level, with dialogue focused on the development of new standards for state programs based on evidence and outcomes. "One of the implementation challenges has been divergent approaches from state to state," said James G. Cibulka, CAEP President. "I am greatly encouraged to see efforts in Louisiana programs to use growth in student achievement as one of multiple measures to examine their effectiveness. CAEP looks forward to working closely with the State of Louisiana and educator preparation providers in aligning CAEP standards and accreditation procedures with those being developed in Louisiana, both to strengthen quality assurance decisions and program improvement efforts."
A key factor in realizing the success of Louisiana's teacher preparation programs is the coordination with K-12. The connection between preparing our future teachers and the reforms enacted in our public schools is critical. BESE and The Louisiana Department of Education have been actively engaged in creating more rigorous policies to improve teacher preparation programs and were participants in the redesign process with the goal of producing well-prepared teachers and well-educated students.
"These results show that Louisiana is moving in the right direction in its efforts to improve teacher preparation, working to not only provide educators with the tools they need to achieve real results for students during their training, but also making sure this improvement and development continues after they enter the classroom," said State Superintendent John White.

"Wedding photography, a different thing from landscape photography, the OP's premise...Evan Clarke"
I make landscape photographs at every wedding. I think they're called environmental photographs. I get to some pretty beautiful places. Many weddings today take place at venues other than a church. Some even in a beautiful location that would make into some nice landscape photographs! It's that I have people in my landscapes and I'm hired to make the photographs!
At any rate, you are correct, the thread was started on the premise of landscape photography, most likely w/o people in them but I don't know for sure. I point out what I do as I've made some money doing what I do. Wasn't that a consideration of the OP's?

October 6, 2014
Price on Request
Leda and The Swan (diptych), 2014
April 16, 2014
Subtracted Word 7, 2014
Ruth Bachofner Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by New York and Paris-based painter Michel Alexis. There will be a reception for the artist Saturday, May 3, 5-7 PM.
Michel Alexis' artwork is founded on an interface between painting and writing, where canvases hold impressions of his surrounding urban environment. In his earlier work, Alexis appropriated actual text from poetry and other writings. He continues to explore the written word in his current work, but in a more abstract manner, where words and letters are drained of specificity, and occupy a strictly formal space. Alexis distills actual text into linear movements across textured surfaces, echoing the motion and form of writing.
As Alexis adapts the physical act of writing, he creates his own distinct visual vocabulary. Improvisational gestures of sweeping, calligraphic marks are set into a loose system of geometry, formed through a buildup of paint, paper, burlap and other textural material. These jostling rectangles wrinkle and crease as they abut one another, or shift to reveal fissures of substrate color. While not always in harmony, layers of gesso and oil paint are made rich by contrast: at once gritty and fluid, rough and polished, forceful and placid. Alexis draws strongly on experiences of the urban environment, transferring moments, moods, hesitation and experiences of the day onto large-scale canvases.
In Absence and Eros, art critic Robert Morgan writes, "What I gather from Alexis' paintings is a sense of space whereby the linear elements function as a kind of undergarment that does not impose its sense of Eros on the body of the painting. Rather, it gently and indirectly gives the surface a distinctly erotic tone, heightening the desire to optically attend to the surface, to move into it, to become part of it."

Re: New House - but what's with the Security Companies?
I can imagine the logic for the pull involves the propensity for people with bad credit to be robbed more often or to recklessly set their own homes on fire with greater frequency. In a nutshell, ADT presumes higher risk customers will use more services. Thus, they should charge more.
Whether there is any correlation whatsoever between credit rating and use of security services, I'm not one to say.

"We discovered the mood-regulating circuit by using the gene to interrogate the imaging data," explained Weinberger. "The brain handles information much like an orchestra. So we asked questions akin to 'Are the violin and the clarinet playing the same tune and to what extent might this gene account for it?'"
In this case, it turned out that the amygdala, a fear processing hub deep in the brain and the cingulate, an emotion-dampening center located near the front of the brain, were playing a duet under the baton of the depression-linked gene.
The gene codes for the serotonin transporter, the protein in brain cells that recycles the chemical messenger after it's been secreted into the synapse, the gulf between cells. Since the most widely prescribed class of antidepressants act by blocking this protein, researchers have focused on possible functional consequences of a slight variation in its DNA sequence across individuals. Everyone inherits two copies of the gene, one from each parent, which comes in two common versions: short and long. The short version makes less protein, resulting in less recycling, increased levels of serotonin in the synapse, and more serotonin-triggered cellular activity. Previous NIMH-supported studies had shown that inheriting the short variant more than doubles risk of depression following life stresses

I don't know where they get these, and I don't really care. But if you stop in da rosa and don't pick up a bag of them, you're making a terrible mistake.
These little dusty ovals of chocolate enrobe a Marcona almond tucked in the middle and there's just a touch for the smoky taste of pimente d'Espelette, the bright-red Basque chili powder that I like to sprinkle over everything from pumpkin purée to chocolate-peanut bark. Once I open the bag of Pimandes, it's assured that the rest will soon be history.
To be honest, I wanted to show you the inside of one.
Really I did.

It is time for fashion bugs in the city to flaunt cool, yet vibrant colours and soft fabrics for a breezy feel. Fashionistas in the city clinch monochromes, light pastels, citrus and nautical colours to be in vogue in the spring/ summer collection. Make sure to pick light and airy fabrics that keep you comfortable even in this searing heat.
Sanaa Khan, a Vashi based fashion stylist, picks out monochrome and light colours like baby and powder pink for women, in sheer fabrics. As for men, she feels burnt orange, dark purple, teal, powder or placid blue would be suitable. "Art pop prints that includes a mix of images or patterns are in, so are tribal prints," says Khan; adding that work-friendly denims that are also known as boyfriend jeans, are ideal for summer with loose and light feel. Linen, khaki, cottons are also apt for men. Holographic material in skirts or tops come with a a lot of shine and thus are best as party wear. Crop tops, baggy or low pants can be picked up for casual wear."
As an option for traditional outfits, that are otherwise heavy and sticky to wear in summer; Khan recommends high waist lehengas that come with a choli that is similar to crop tops.
Vashi based designer Sonal Bansal deems that light pastels, mixed with bright tones will make for a good combination. "Royal blue and ash grey when blended with off whites, beiges, will give a subtle, yet vibrant look. As for fabrics, I have used cottons, artificial georgettes, hosiery mixed with chiffon as these will be light and flowy," she says. Digital prints is her pick for casual wears.
As for functions and special occasions she says georgette saris would be befitting. "A simple printed pallu with a heavy hand embroidered and stylish blouse will be a good contrast. Or a plain sari with embellishments in the blouse," says Bansal who has her boutique Vetements in Sun Elegant building,sector 28.
For Priyanka Betgari, a designer based in Nerul cites,"Citrus colours like tangerine, yellow, orange, coral to be in vogue this season. One can mix and match with cool colours like aquamarine, light blue and nautical colours like navy blue, red and white," she says adding that apart from cotton and linen, fabrics like cambric, voile, rayon would be most suitable as these are extremely soft and lightweight.
She suggests a variety of colourful prints that can give you the chic look. "Aztec and tribal prints will be great to sport, apart from tie and dyed colourful patterns. Woven Ikat patterns will give an ethnic look," she said.
She goes with ruffled tops or skirts, tops with asymmetrical cuts and jumpsuits for women. "For men, linen jacket and shorts, linen pants or trousers, bermudas for casual look would do good," she adds.
