This week Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB 277 which removes the personal belief exemption parents could use to exempt their children from vaccination requirements tied to public school attendance. When the law becomes effective in 2016, California will become the third state, after Mississippi and West Virginia, to allow vaccination exemption for medical reasons only.
The Quadrennial Energy Review, or QER, is the federal government's analysis of energy vulnerabilities. Released in April as part of President Obama's Climate Action Plan, the QER's goal is to strengthen energy policy by reviewing existing laws and regulations in order to recommend new policies while taking into account numerous perspectives. The first installment focuses on energy infrastructure, particularly transportation, storage and distribution--or TS&D--with additional installments coming every four years. The Department of Energy requested $500 million in the 2016 fiscal year budget as part of a down payment on the QER's recommendations totaling $16 billion in expenditures.
Eight state legislators from around the country, many of them transportation committee chairs or vice chairs in their respective states, attended the 5th Annual CSG Transportation Leaders Policy Academy May 11-13, 2015 in Washington, D.C. The academy, which took place during Infrastructure Week, included a tour of transportation projects in Northern Virginia, a keynote address by Maryland Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn, a luncheon at the D.C. office of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), a standing-room-only briefing for Capitol Hill staffers on the importance of continuing federal transportation investment to state and local officials, a conversation with officials at the U.S. Department of Transportation, a dinner with representatives of two of the largest transportation-related membership associations—the American Road & Transportation Builders Association and the American Public Transportation Association and a briefing on the status of state exploration of mileage-based user fees. Attendees also took part in a transportation policy roundtable with representatives of ASCE, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Transportation for America, the Eno Center for Transportation, the American Trucking Associations and UPS. Finally, the legislators were able to take part in Infrastructure Week activities including Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. This page includes photos from the three-day academy, the complete agenda for the event and links to web pages where you can read extended excerpts of remarks from many of the speakers.
In Glossip v. Gross the Supreme Court held 5-4 that death row inmates are unlikely to succeed on their claim that using midazolam as a lethal injection drug amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
All death penalty states and the federal government use lethal injection. In Baze v. Rees (2008) the Court approved a three-drug protocol that begins with a sedative, sodium thiopental, followed by a paralytic agent and a drug that causes cardiac arrest. Anti-death penalty advocates have persuaded United States and foreign manufacturers to stop producing sodium thiopental and an alternative, pentobarbital. So, Oklahoma and other states began using midazolam. Oklahoma increased the dose from 100 milligrams to 500 milligrams after Clayton Lockett was moving and talking after being administered 100 milligrams of midazolam. (An investigation into Lockett's execution concluded that problems establishing IV access was the "single greatest factor that contributed to the difficulty in administering the execution drugs.")
July 1, 2015 marks a big day for the future of transportation funding in a number of states. Six states see their gas tax rates increase today, the result of not only 2015 legislative actions but also actions that took place in previous years as well as automatic increase mechanisms. Meanwhile, Oregon begins a closely watched program that could determine how transportation will be funded in the years ahead. And a number of state legislatures are in the process of completing work on major transportation funding packages as they prepare to adjourn for the year. It all sets the stage for a month in which Congress must come up with a plan to address federal transportation funding before a July 31st deadline.
In Michigan v. EPA the Supreme Court held 5-4 that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acted unreasonably in failing to consider cost when deciding whether regulating mercury emissions from power plants is "appropriate and necessary." Twenty-three states challenged the regulations.
The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to regulate air pollution from stationary sources based on how much pollution the source emits. But EPA may only regulate emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants if it finds that regulation is "appropriate and necessary." EPA found it "appropriate" to regulate mercury emissions because they pose a risk to human health and the environment and controls are available to reduce them. EPA found it "necessary" to regulate mercury emissions because other requirements in the Act did not eliminate these risks.
State legislators attending the fourth annual CSG Medicaid Policy Academy June 17-19, in Washington, D.C., learned how critical Medicaid funding can be to services for vulnerable persons. Dr. Jeffery Brenner, a 2013 winner of a MacArthur Foundation genius award, challenged the group to rationalize the health care system. He described how his project in Camden, N.J. has reduced costs and improved care for patients suffering from a complex set of chronic diseases. Health care workers visit patients in their residences and seek to evaluate not just medical needs but social and emotional needs as well.
The opinion upholds the constitutionality of the redistricting commission as a method to draw congressional and legislative redistricting lines after a Census.
Nearly half of state governments in the U.S. use a process outside of the legislature to draw congressional district lines. In the recent 5-4 decision, Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, the Court held that the Constitution's Elections Clause permits voters to vest congressional redistricting authority entirely in an independent commission. Read more HERE.
In 5-4 decision in Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission the Court held that the Constitution's Elections Clause permits voters to vest congressional redistricting authority entirely in an independent commission.
In 2000 Arizona voters adopted Proposition 106 which places all federal redistricting authority in an independent commission. The Elections Clause states: "[t]he Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations . . . ."

Transport egg that promises a perceptual pool
If the world is getting too much and you need a break, perhaps you need to get yourself a Transport.
The egg-shaped fibreglass vessel that looks like something out of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, is outfitted with speakers and an array of light-emitting diodes to soothe.
Described by its designer as a perceptual pool, the inhabitant lies supine on the product's central cushion surrounded by flickering bright lights synchronised to music, a show intended to encourage oneness with the cosmos, or something like that.
Yours from around $10,000.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 11/21/12
GAINESVILLE, Fla. A year later and the numbers remain eye-popping. It was a Florida-Florida State game that seemed more 1961 -- a 3-3 tie at Florida Field -- than 2011. The teams combined for 279 yards of total offense. They each finished 2 of 15 on third-down conversions. Florida averaged 3 yards per play, FSU 1.6. It gets stranger. The Seminoles managed only 95 yards and 27 inches per rush -- and still won by two touchdowns (21-7). "I haven' forgotten about that,'' Seminoles quarterback E.J. Manuel said this week. Few have. It was "Nightmare on Gale Lemerand Drive" for offensive coordinators everywhere. Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn didn't sleep too well that night either despite the Gators sacking Manuel four times and limiting FSU to less than a football field of offense. "You were busting your butt to get it and you didn't get it,'' Quinn said Tuesday. "That was hard." The two teams meet again on Saturday in a game with possible national championship implicat...

Arroyo made 14 starts for Arizona in 2014 before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He has yet to pitch this year, and is not expected back until at least August. The Braves will take on the entirety of Arroyo's contract, which includes $9.5 million for this year, and a $4.5 million buyout on a $13 million option for 2016, per FoxSports.com.
Toussaint was a first-round draft pick (16th overall) by the Diamondbacks in 2014. The right-hander has been pitching with Class A Kane County this year, posting a 3.69 ERA through seven starts.
Meanwhile, Gosselin underwent surgery to repare a fractured thumb in May. He is currently on the disabled list and holds a .325 batting average in 40 at-bats this year.
The Diamondbacks seem satisfied with the current state of their pitching corps, allowing them to deal away Toussaint in the deal.
"We are getting some good pitching from our young rotation and that's the direction we are going to go," D-Backs general manager Dave Stewart said.
"It's can you throw and come back the next day and feel like you haven't thrown, not be sore, not be tender?" Arroyo said. "It's just going to be a gradual progress of trying to build that endurance up in the elbow."
Arroyo underwent the procedure last July and is hopeful to return during the second half of the season at some point. Arizona has a $4.5 million buyout on Arroyo's contract at the end of the season, which is motivating his speedy recovery from the surgery.
"That's why I'd like to get back and maybe make 10 starts the second half of the season to show what I can do," Arroyo said. "That way they have some basis for making a decision."
Bronson Arroyo, Patrick Corbin, David Hernandez and Matt Reynolds were activated Thursday. Players are not allowed to be on the 60-day disabled list during the offseason. They can be put back on the 60-day DL once the season begins again.
Arroyo will undergo a lengthy recovery process before attempting to return to the mound. If all goes well, he may be able to make it back late in the 2015 season.
"I was thinking I might retire at 39 when this [two-year] contract is up, but not anymore," he said. "If I'm going to spend a year rehabbing, I'm going to pitch until I'm 45 if I can. Let's see how it goes."
Arroyo, on the DL with a UCL sprain, played a light game of catch Friday. He told the Republic he felt good, but won't know more about how the elbow has progressed until he begins throwing harder, and there is no concrete timetable for that at this point.
Arroyo was placed on the disabled list in mid-June for the first time in his career after suffering a UCL sprain. He owns a 4.08 ERA and 47:19 K:BB ratio in 86 innings.
The manager said that Arroyo will try to rehab instead of opting for surgery. He will be shut down for 10 days before trying to pick up a ball and remains hopeful of a post-All-Star break return.Arroyo was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his 14-year career. The right-hander posted a 4.08 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in 14 starts (86 innings) before the injury.
For much of the game, it seemed as if Arroyo might have to settle for a tough-luck loss as the offense managed to score just one run through six innings. He ended the top half of the seventh inning with the score tied 1-1, but the offense got going in the bottom half to send him to his sixth win of the season.
Arroyo scattered six hits and a pair of walks over seven innings of work, holding the Astros to just one run in the game. He struck out five while throwing 62 of 98 pitches for strikes in the win.
Arroyo is now 6-4 on the season, having won two starts in a row. He carries a 4.22 ERA into his next outing, set for Sunday in Los Angeles.
Arroyo was tagged for four runs in 6 1/3 innings of work, but never trailed in the game. He allowed six hits in the six-plus innings, two of which went for home runs, while walking two batters and striking out four on 97 pitches before he was lifted.
Arroyo moves to 5-4 on the season, while his ERA rose to 4.50 with the outing. His next start is set for Tuesday against the Astros.
Arroyo is 0-2 in his last three starts combined and has given up 11 runs on 24 hits in 20 innings pitched during that stretch.
Arroyo got a decent amount of support against his former team, but was never in the lead after the first inning. The majority of the damage against came on one swing, as he surrendered a grand slam to Devin Mesoraco in the second inning to put the Diamondbacks down for good.
Arroyo was charged for five runs in seven innings on nine hits, the second time in three starts he has had that line against. He also walked one batter and struck out three, while throwing 98 pitches in the loss.
Arroyo is now 4-4 with a 4.39 ERA, though he finished the month of May with a solid 2.49 ERA in six starts. His next outing is set for Thursday in Colorado.
Arroyo was removed from his last start with a tender elbow, but was adamant that he would make his next start. He'll take on the Reds Friday. Through 60 2/3 innings, Arroyo has a 4.15 ERA.
"I don't know why Gibby said that about my elbow being banged up, but I'm banged up all the time," Arroyo said. "It's not new. We play this game banged up almost all the time. That's the way it is."
Arroyo, who allowed one run in six innings during a no-decision, said his entire body felt banged up, but he's not worried about missing his next start Friday against the Reds.
Arroyo was staked to a 1-0 lead after the top of the first but gave it right back in the bottom half of the inning after surrendering an RBI single to David Wright. He held the Mets offense in check over the remainer of his time in the game. Arroyo owns a 4.15 ERA and 34:13 K:BB ratio in 60 2/3 innings. He'll square off with the Reds Friday.
Arroyo lasted until the seventh inning while throwing just 88 pitches, but didn't really keep the Cardinals off balance throughout the start. He was tagged for five runs on nine hits, with the Cardinals scoring in four separate innings. Seven of those nine hits went for extra bases, something he could not make up for with a six-strikeout-to-no-walk ratio.
Arroyo had been unbeaten in his previous four starts while allowing just three earned runs in that span, so this was something of a step back. Arroyo saw his record fall to 4-3 while his ERA rose to 4.45. He will try to get back on track in his next outing, set for Sunday against the Mets.
Look, Arroyo might not be this good of a pitcher, but don't overlook him in Fantasy, especially in Head-to-Head formats. It was a point made in this week's Waiver Wire column.
Arroyo was pretty bad in April, but he probably deserves a pass because he missed time in spring training due to a back injury. April was pretty much his spring training in trying to get up to speed.
Arroyo might not have high-end Fantasy potential, but he's reliable. He was a top 40 Fantasy starting pitcher in Head-to-Head formats in 2012 and 2013, and a top 30 option in 2010. He's not as strong of an option in Rotisserie formats because his WHIP can get a little high, but Arroyo is a workhorse. If you are looking for a starter in Fantasy, Arroyo isn't such a bad add off waivers.
Arroyo allowed just one run in the second inning of the start, and was flawless otherwise. He tossed his first complete game of the season in the 3-1 win, allowing his one run on seven hits and a walk, while striking out seven batters.
Arroyo got off to a rough start this season, posting a 9.50 ERA in his first four starts. In four starts since, he is 3-0 with an 0.91 ERA in 29 2/3 innings of work. He will try to keep his solid run up in his next start, set for Sunday against the Dodgers.
Arroyo crafted his third straight quality start by surrendering just one unearned run in 7 1/3 innings. He has not given up an earned run in his last 14 1/3 innings. Arroyo allowed five hits to the Brewers while walking two and fanning four. He has lowered his ERA from 9.50 to 4.89 in his last three starts.
He will seek to reduce it further early next week against Washington.
Arroyo kept the Phillies off the scoreboard for much of his start, opening with six shutout innings. He ran into trouble in the seventh, allowing one run on two hits while recording one out, and having one more runner come across after he was pulled.
Arroyo was charged with two runs on seven hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings of work, while striking out two. Even with the solid effort Saturday, he remains 1-2 with a 7.77 ERA heading into his next start, Friday in San Diego.
Arroyo (1-2) has strung together two poor outings, with his loss Monday featuring a three-run home run served up to opposing starter Travis Wood. Arroyo now owns a 9.50 ERA and 8:7 K:BB ratio in 18 innings. He'll take on the Phillies at home Saturday.
Three of the runs scored upon Arroyo (1-1) came in the first inning, and he was able to put together two scoreless innings before running into trouble during a six-run fourth. The horrendous outing boosted Arroyo's ERA to 9.95, and he also owns a 6:4 K:BB ratio in 12 2/3 innings. He's slated to face the Cubs in Chicago Monday.
Arroyo (1-0) gave up solo home runs in the second and fifth innings, and the Giants were able to score another in the third inning, but the Arizona offense came through to deliver Arroyo a win. He owns a 4.82 ERA and 5:3 K:BB ratio going into Monday's start against the Mets.
Coming off a back injury that limited him in spring training, Arroyo threw just 82 pitching in his first outing. He allowed two runs on five hits and a pair of walks in 4 1/3 innings of work before being pulled. Arroyo struck out three batters and threw 51 of 82 pitches for strikes.
Arroyo will likely be allowed to pitch deeper into his next start, as he works his way back to full strength. He is set to make his next start Wednesday against these Giants.
Arroyo signed a two-year deal as a free agent with the Diamondbacks, and he finished the spring with a 3.52 ERA in 7 2/3 innings in two starts.
Arroyo, who missed a month of spring training with a back problem, should be good to go for his first regular season start after throwing 4 2/3 quality innings against the Cubs on Saturday. He was removed in the fifth after giving up two earned runs on six hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
He will be followed in the rotation by Wade Miley, Trevor Cahill and Bronson Arroyo. Arroyo will only make his debut in that series only if he emerges from his Saturday performance healthy. He missed a month of spring training with a bulging disc in his back.
"I threw three innings in a simulated game on the 19th and threw a bullpen," Arroyo said. "Through that, I was still not perfect. But the last four days, I've been feeling perfect. I threw (Monday) and felt as good as I've ever felt, so I just want to get one more outing and get built up a little bit."
Arroyo has missed a month while dealing with a bulging disc, but he's expected to avoid the disabled list, something he's done his entire career, and pitch in the team's fourth game once their regular season restarts.
Bradley and fellow pitching prospect Bo Schultz are expected to open the season at Triple-A Reno.
Brandon McCarthy will start Arizona's U.S. opener against the Giants Monday. He is expected to be followed by Wade Miley, Delgado, Bronson Arroyo and Trevor Cahill.
The Diamondbacks have not announced their pitching plans moving forward, but McCarthy is to start Wednesday's exhibition game against the Cubs, and the others are scheduled to follow him this week, according to FOX Sports.
The three starting pitchers will be ineligibile for the team's two-game series in Australia against the Diamondbacks.
"He felt great, threw it a little bit extra," Gibson said. "Both fastballs and curveballs."
Next up for Arroyo will be a three-inning, 45-pitch simulated game Wednesday. If all goes well, then he could pitch in a minor-league game five days later.
"You can tell he knows it feels better just by his attitude and the way he's carrying himself around," manager Kirk Gibson said.
Arroyo is still questionable to be ready by the beginning of the regular season, but Friday's news is a step in the right direction. He has yet to spend time on the disabled list in his 14-year career.
Arroyo is hoping to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, which would put him on pace to be ready for the regular season. "It's driving me nuts today to tell you the truth," he said. "Everybody around here is like no hurry, no hurry, but I've got a time clock in my head." Arroyo has never missed a start due to an injury, so this is new territory for everyone involved.
Arroyo posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings last year.
Arroyo had some issues throwing Saturday, but said he felt much better Sunday. He's been dealing with a back injury during camp. He said he believes he can still be ready for opening day.
Arroyo posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings last year.
Arroyo has been limited with a back issue during camp. He said he plans to rejoin the rotation once the team comes back from Australia. Arroyo posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings last year.
"They want it to calm down before he starts throwing again," general manager Kevin Towers said. "Of course, Arroyo doesn't think it will take that long. Nothing they're concerned about. It's not a herniated disc. He did it running the other day, felt it running. It's not anything worse than he had before. [Lee] thinks as long as they hit the spot right with the epidural, he should be fine."
Arroyo is not expected to begin the season on the disabled list due to the injury, but he will limit his activities over the next seven-to-ten days while recovering.
Arroyo is expected to be ready for the regular season proper, though he's unlikely to make the trip to Australia for the team's two-game series against the Dodgers. He allowed two runs (one earned) in three innings of work in his spring debut Thursday.
Arroyo pitched three quick innings, allowing just two runs -- one earned -- in the win. He gave up three hits and one walk, and struck out one of 13 batters faced.
Arroyo will pitch outside of Cincinnati for the first time since 2005 this season, coming off another solid season. He pitched 202 innings in 32 starts and posted a 3.79 ERA and 14-12 record in 2013 for the Reds.
Arroyo signed with the club February 7, but still had to pass a team physical. The team is scheduled to have their first full team workout Wednesday, but it's unclear whether Arroyo will take part. He posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings last year.
Arroyo is set to make $19 million over the next two seasons before the Diamondbacks have to decide whether to exercise an $11-million option for 2016 or pay a $4.5-million buyout. He has made 32 starts or more in each of his last nine seasons.
Arroyo spent the last eight years with Cincinnati. He owns a career record of 138-127 and 4.19 ERA. He will join the Diamondbacks starting rotation.
His signing could pave the way for other free agent starters to find homes. Included are Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana.
Speculation is that Arroyo wants to remain in the National League, though other reports have claimed he could wind up with Baltimore.
The 36-year-old has been a steady starter since 2004. He was 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA a year ago despite pitching in the bandbox Great American Ballpark.
The Birds are also in pursuit of fellow starters A.J. Burnett and Korean import Suk-min Yoon.
Arroyo is now fine with a two-year deal in the range of about $22 million. Earlier reports had Arroyo holding out for a three-year deal, but teams have been hesitant to offer a third year to a 36-year-old pitcher. Both the Diamondbacks and Orioles have been mentioned as the main contenders for Arroyo.
Last season, Arroyo posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings with the Reds.
Arroyo's choice will likely come down to the Diamondbacks, Dodgers and Orioles, though there are plenty of teams remaining that could use a consistent option in the rotation. He is reportedly looking for a three-year deal after going 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA last season.
However, it's going to take more than compliments to sign Arroyo, and a reunion with the Reds appears unlikely.
"We just don't have a lot funds," Price said. "It's hard to approach a player and say, 'You've done a great job. For all these years, then we're going to want to give you a cut in pay on a one-year deal.'"
The team is "set" on pitching heading into spring training, making any other potential rotation acquisition unlikely. Arroyo has interest from multiple teams but is looking for a three-year deal.
The two sides have been linked for some time now, and the two sides are still talking. It was said Arroyo was holding out for a three-year deal, and it's unclear whether he's changed his demands. The 36-year-old posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings last year.
The team is in the hunt for starting pitching, but the front office doesn't want to part with a draft pick to sign a guy. That would push both Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana lower on the list of priorities. The team has reportedly made an offer to Suk-Min Yoon, but would still have interest in a veteran starter if they were to sign Yoon.
Vice President of baseball ops Dan Duquette wouldn't get into specifics at the team's recent FanFest, but admitted he had some more plans before the season started. "I want to say this: We have some more work to do this offseason."
"I want to say this: We have some more work to do this offseason," said Duquette, who has been talking with several free-agent starters and is hoping to add at least one pitcher to the staff. "We are going to see what we can do between now and when the season starts. If we can get the work done that we've been trying to get done, I think we will have a very competitive team."
While the Orioles still might be interested in signing a DH, which includes Kendrys Morales, it seems the team is more focused on signing a starting pitcher. The Orioles have been rumored to be interested in A.J. Burnett, Bronson Arroyo, Ervin Santana and Ubaldo Jimenez.
"We are going to see what we can do to add a veteran pitcher between now and when spring training starts," Duquette said. "We think we have the core of a good staff; a veteran starter would help stabilize the staff and help us get off to a good start. And then some of these young pitchers who we really like should be able to help us later on in the season. But if we can sign a veteran starter, I think that would help us fill out our ballclub."
Arroyo is reportedly seeking a three-year deal and recently expressed frustration that he hasn't found a suitable offer yet. He has made at least 32 starts in nine straight seasons, going 119-104 with a 4.10 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over that stretch.
Arroyo recently expressed frustration over not receiving an offer in free agency. While his recent track record has been solid, teams are hesitant to offer three years to a player who will be 37 in February. Arroyo posted a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings with the Reds last year.
"I get [Clayton] Kershaw," Arroyo said. "I get why he got all that money. But then you've got guys like Dice-K [Matsuzaka], who came over here and was good for the first couple years but then didn't pan out. And when he doesn't pan out, they all just forget and go on to the next guy who's not proven, and pay him.
"Meanwhile, they forget about guys like me, who have done the job for the last eight or 10 years, and treat them like they've never done anything in this game. That's hard, man."
Arroyo said 12 teams have contacted his agent, Terry Bross, this offseason, but he hasn't gotten close to a deal with any team. Arroyo has been linked to the Twins, Orioles, Dodgers, Mariners, Mets, Angels, Phillies and Pirates.
"I don't even have an offer to turn down," he said. "So I might still be sitting here on March 1. I have no idea.
"I don't know what to do. I'm not trying to break the bank. But I am a guy who's performed for the last 10 years as consistently as anybody in the game. And for some reason, nobody's thrown me an offer yet."
Santana will likely command the largest contract of the three, and while Baltimore likely has the room to fit him into the budget, they have also proven to have the most stringent pre-signing physical exam in the business, which could be a potential roadblock for any free agent.
After missing out on Masahiro Tanaka, the team had conversations with Arroyo. It's unclear how serious the team is about signing him to a deal, though.
The team tempered that excitement by saying they would be comfortable heading into the season with the current crop of pitching. The 36-year-old pitcher had a 3.79 ERA last season with the Reds.
The soon to be 37-year-old is still looking for a landing spot. The Dodgers have also been mentioned as a popular suitor for Arroyo.
The team could still be a player for Japanese free-agent Masahiro Tanaka, but it'll come down to ownership's willingness to dish out the large amount of cash expected to be required to sign Tanaka.
Arroyo, who went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 202 innings with the Reds last season, is said to be seeking a three-year contract.
The Twins, Yankees and Phillies are all considered teams interested in signing the veteran right-handed pitcher, according to the Globe.
"I don't see how we make it fit financially," general manager Walt Jocketty said.
The Reds are unlikely to make any major moves for the remainder of the offseason. Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 202 innings with the Reds last season.
The Reds have also shown interest in bringing the 36-year-old back for another season. Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 202 innings.
The Twins are also said to be talking to the 36-year-old pitcher. Arroyo is said to be seeking a multi-year deal. Last season, he had a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings.
The Reds are also among several other teams who have been in contact with Arroyo's agent. Reds general manager Walt Jockety told MLB.com, "We just haven't talked about it in a while. I don't think we have closed it out but it would be pretty tough financially."
Earlier reports indicated that Bross also had meetings scheduled with the Pirates and Mets.
Arroyo began his major league career with Pittsburgh, appearing in 53 games with them between 2000 and 2002.
A source close to the Mets said that the team's interest in the 14-year veteran is "not super high."
The Mets are hoping to add two starting pitchers to fill out their rotation this offseason.
Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA for the Reds this season, and he finished with the fifth-lowest ratio of walks per nine innings (1.5) among qualifying major league starters.
The team is considering Bronson Arroyo, Ricky Nolasco, Matt Garza, Mike Pelfrey and Phil Hughes. Minnesota has reportedly offered Pelfrey a multi-year contract. The club has also inquired on some of the top tier pitchers, though it's not clear they are willing to spend the money.
If Arroyo does get offered a three-year deal by the Twins, it would likely make them the favorite to sign Arroyo, who will be 37 years old on opening day of next season. He went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 124:34 K:BB ratio in 202 innings with the Reds last season.
Hughes, 27, went 4-14 with a 5.19 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 121:42 K:BB ratio in 145 2/3 innings with the Yankees last season. Arroyo, 36, went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 124:34 K:BB ratio in 202 innings with the Reds.
Despite signing Tim Hudson, Giants assistant general manager Bobby Evans confirmed that the team is still interested in signing Arroyo. Arroyo had a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings.
Excluded from Arroyo's list were the Giants, who were reportedly interested in the 36-year-old earlier this month.
Earlier reports indicated that the Giants and Twins have also expressed interest in signing the 14-year veteran.
The Giants already addressed one potential open spot in the rotation by retaining Tim Lincecum on a two-year deal, but they'll continue to scour the FA market for more pieces. None of the three pitchers listed come attached with draft-pick compensation.
Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 124:34 K:BB ratio in 202 innings for the Reds. Hughes went 4-14 with a 5.29 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 121:42 K:BB ratio in 145 2/3 innings for the Yankees. Vargas went 9-8 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 109:46 K:BB ratio in 150 innings for the Angels.
Arroyo's agent, Terry Bross, said his client is an "East Coast guy and would definitely consider the Mets." Arroyo is looking for at least a two-year deal worth around $30 million. Arroyo had a 3.79 ERA in 202 innings.
By passing on offering Arroyo a one-year, $14.1 million deal, they also forfeit the opportunity to get a compensatory draft pick in return, should another team sign him this offseason.
Arroyo said he has not had any conversations with the club, but knows Tony Cingrani is younger and cheaper. If Arroyo receives a qualifying offer, he could return to the club for about $13 million. The 36-year-old will be looking for one more multi-year deal.
In 202 innings, Arroyo had a 3.79 ERA.
"I have no preference on where I want to pitch but I'll certainly consider the team, their chances of winning, and all of that," Arroyo said. "I feel I can pitch effectively at 37, 38, and 39 years old. I've never missed a start. Never been injured. I'm not a max-effort guy out there, so there's no big-time wear and tear on me. I loved Cincinnati but I don't think they're in position to give me what I want."
Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 124:34 K:BB ratio in 202 innings over 32 starts this season, numbers very similar to his 2012 campaign, when he went 12-10 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 129:35 K:BB ratio in 202 innings over 32 starts.
The Mets are still in financial limbo and as such may be prevented from going after higher profile free agents like Shin-Soo Choo or Jacoby Ellsbury. Arroyo owns a 3.60 ERA on the season, but at 36-years-old it seems unlikely he catches a huge multi-year deal in free agency. The Mets have had issues with rotation depth in recent years, so Arroyo would make sense as a target.
Arroyo lasted only five innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Two of the Pirates' runs came on solo homers from Neil Walker and Travis Snider.
Arroyo's record improved to 14-11, and his ERA now stands at 3.60.
Arroyo has turned in three straight quality starts, giving up just two earned runs in each, but hasn't won a game since Aug. 24. He brings a 13-11 record, 3.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 119:31 K:BB ratio into Saturday's start against the Pirates.
"I think it's going to take this organization wanting my services for the next two or three years," Arroyo said on MLB.com's Chatting Cage Thursday. "There's obviously a limit to how long we can play this game, and we're all trying to maximize our opportunities as far as money ... If my price tag is a little bit too much or they feel like they don't want to give me more than a one-year deal here, then it's going to be very difficult, because it's probably going to be the last time I have an opportunity to go out and sign a multiyear deal with a ballclub."
Arroyo is 13-10 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 112:27 K:BB ratio in 179 innings over 28 starts.
It was Arroyo's first no-decision since June 19, and he went 7-4 in the 11 starts between that start and Wednesday. He takes a 13-10 record, 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 112:27 K:BB ratio into Monday's game against the Cubs.
Arroyo had surrendered just seven earned runs in his previous four starts (all quality starts) before Friday's downer. He takes a 13-10 record, 3.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB ratio into Wednesday's start against the Cardinals.
"It's been a great run for me," Arroyo said, per MLB.com. "I always look for one of these runs late in the season. It usually happens in August or September where I can catch three, four wins in a row. My schedule is going to get a bit tougher now in Colorado [on Friday] and with St. Louis coming back here. It's been nice to take the four wins that I felt I should do."
Arroyo has rattled off four wins over four straight quality starts, striking out six or more in each victory. He owns a 3.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 107:26 K:BB ratio going into Friday's start against the Rockies.
Arroyo surrendered just three runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings to improve to 12-9 for the Reds. He has a 3.40 ERA.
Arroyo, who struck out six, has been very sharp over his last three outings. He's allowed just four runs over that span of 20 innings with 20 Ks. He has wins in all three starts. Arroyo is next scheduled to toe the rubber on Saturday versus Milwaukee.
It was Arroyo's second straight excellent start after being rocked for seven earned runs on Aug. 2. He brings a 3.35 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 95:26 K:BB ratio into Monday's scheduled matchup with the Diamondbacks.
Arroyo was in trouble in pretty much every inning of the start, as he allowed four runs in the first, one in the second and two more before being chased in the fourth inning. He was charged with seven runs on eight hits and a walk in 3 2/3 innings, while throwing 53 of 84 pitches for strikes. He struck out five hitters.
Arroyo has lost two games in a row, allowing 10 runs in nine innings to drop his record to 9-9. He has a 3.62 ERA in 22 starts, and will try to get back on the winning side Friday against the Padres.
Arroyo has surrendered just eight earned runs in 33 1/3 innings over five July starts. He brings a 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 76:25 K:BB ratio into Friday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Arroyo (7-7) allowed just Nick Franklin's solo home run in the first inning despite allowing three hits. His only other runs allowed came on Justin Smoak's two-run homer in the third inning.
"I was never in a groove today, that was a hard-fought battle for me today, eight left-handed guys, I didn't have the sharpest of stuff, I knew we were down three already and the flow of the game wasn't conducive to us putting four on the board anytime soon," Arroyo said, per the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The veteran right-hander has just one win in his last six starts despite allowing more than two earned runs just twice in that span. Arroyo will be back on the hill Friday at Atlanta. Arroyo lost to Atlanta May 6, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings.
Arroyo allowed just one run on two hits and a walk over six innings before the game was called. He struck out three and allowed the only run on a solo home run. Arroyo continues to be a strike-throwing rock in the Reds' rotation. He threw 60 strikes in 88 pitches as he lowered his ERA to 3.50 and improved to 7-6.
Arroyo allowed an unearned run -- on his fielding error in the third -- over seven innings but left losing. A ninth-inning home run by Jay Bruce got Arroyo off the hook for the loss. He allowed six hits and three walks while striking out three.
Arroyo (6-5) lowered his ERA to 3.04 but has one win over his last four outings. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday in Oakland.
Arroyo surrendered a solo home run to Carlos Beltran and a run-scoring double to Yadier Molina all in the fourth inning for his only damage of the night. The right-hander permitted two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four in six innings pitched. He threw 84 pitches, 56 for strikes.
Arroyo has allowed just two runs over his last 14 innings pitched. He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at home against Milwaukee. He allowed five hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his previous meeting against the Brewers on May 12.
Arroyo has held teams scoreless in three of his last five starts. In his last start against the Cardinals, Arroyo's weekend opponent, he allowed two earned runs in seven innings and did not strike out a batter.
Arroyo gave up just three earned runs in 20 1/3 innings over his previous three starts before this clunker. He brings a 3.75 ERA into a matchup with the Rockies Monday.
Arroyo scattered five hits through his first seven innings and was cruising to open the eighth before he seemed to run out of gas. Arroyo got the first two batters in the eighth, but walked the next next two and was pulled.
He struck out six in evening his record to 4-4, while lowering his ERA to 3.28. Arroyo has not allowed a run over his last two starts, spanning 14 1/3 innings.
Arroyo's next start is against the Cubs Friday.
But Arroyo takes the mound twice in Week 6 (May 6-12), making him worth a flier in plenty of Fantasy formats. With two opportunities to make up for his lackluster strikeout totals, Arroyo starts to look a lot better.
In his Week 6 Pitching Planner, Al Melchior categorizes Arroyo as a borderline mixed-league starter in standard Fantasy formats. The fact that both of his starts come at home, where he has a 2.86 ERA in three starts, should improve your confidence.
Arroyo entered Thursday with two straight strong outings under his belt, going eight innings and allowing two earned runs in each of his previous two starts. He has a 4.24 ERA and a 18:4 K:BB ratio in 34 innings this year. Arroyo is scheduled to face the Cardinals in St. Louis Tuesday.
He walked one and struck out a season-high six to give him 1,004 strikeouts as a member of the Reds, good for ninth-most on the club's all-time list. The right-hander finished the game with his first no-decision in four starts this season.
"Bronson pitched a heck of a game," said manager Dusty Baker, whose pitchers have allowed two runs or fewer in six consecutive games, the longest stretch since a six-game streak from July 10-19, 2010. "He kept some pretty good hitters off balance."
Arroyo will next start Thursday at Washington. He held the Nationals to four runs in two games (12 1/3 innings) last season.
Arroyo held a 2-0 lead before Josh Hamilton tied the game with a two-RBI single in the third inning. Arroyo then blew a one-run lead in the top of the fifth before Chris Heisey's two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth put the Reds ahead for good and lined Arroyo (1-0) up for the win. The right-hander struck out five. He threw 62 of 93 pitches for strikes.
Arroyo will be back on the hill Tuesday at St. Louis. Arroyo is 8-13 with a 4.56 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 33 career outings (31 starts) against the Cardinals. He is 3-6 with a 5.42 ERA in 14 starts at Busch Stadium.
He limited Arizona to just one run in six innings of work -- a solo home run by Jason Kubel. Arroyo allowed seven hits in the game and walked none, while striking just one batter out. Arroyo threw 99 pitches in the outing, 75 of them for strikes. Arroyo finished the spring with a 3.13 ERA in 23 innings of work, with six strikeouts and two walks.
With 2,000-plus innings under his belt at the major-league level, Arroyo has nothing to prove in spring training. He entered camp assured of a spot in the rotation and will likely begin the season against the Brewers, either Friday or Saturday during the first week of the season. A year ago, Arroyo posted a 4.26 ERA in five starts against a Brewers lineup that he is very familiar with.
"It's so weird," Arroyo said. "It's really good. I'm going to play catch today. I think I could hit."
This is excellent news considering how hard Arroyo appeared to get struck. "It hit me so hard," he said. "I've still got the bruise where it ricocheted off my left forearm. I thought for sure it was the worst I'd been hit as far as being away from the game."

I wouldn't trade my current set up for anything else (except maybe a sumo'ed KTM 690) . I think there will always be a place for supermoto type bikes, but I'll agree it will never be a huge part of the overall motorcycle market.
As far as the fad goes there still seems to be a lot of ex-sportbike riders switching to supermoto, maybe a sign of the economy?
I bought a DR650SM this summer largely because the roads where I live are very poorly maintained and I was getting beat up on my road bikes...love it and ended up selling my Monster and buying a Tiger 955i, short travel suspension didn't cut it any more. The DR works great on the dirt roads I ride as is, will buy a 19" front wheel and run ADV tires if I get more ambitious...that way both bikes would run the same tire sizes (150/70-17 and 110/80-19)

Community raises $215,000 in scholarships for CFCC students at annual luncheon
Over 600 invited guests packed the Schwartz Center at Cape Fear Community College earlier today for the annual "Gift of Education" fundraising luncheon hosted by the CFCC Foundation.
Major highlights from the program included remarks from three CFCC students – each with a unique and inspiring story of how the decision to attend CFCC had changed their lives.
The lunch was catered by Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits, which donated meals for the event. Bojangles' President and CEO Randy Kibler was the guest speaker. During his remarks, Kibler emphasized the need to support education and workforce training.
At 1 p.m., CFCC Foundation Executive Director Margaret Robison announced the results to the crowd – participants had contributed $215,000 toward student scholarships.
Foundation officials say that financial needs of Cape Fear students have never been greater and they are incredibly grateful for the generosity of all who attended this year's event.
According to recent survey, CFCC students revealed that for the third year in a row, financial constraints were the number one reason that students did not complete their degree programs.
According to the Fall 2011 survey, more than 18% of students who did not complete their program of study listed "financial hardship†as their reason for leaving school.
The survey findings are not surprising, considering the majority of CFCC students have financial need. According to the CFCC financial aid office, 65-70% of students are receiving some type of financial aid, including scholarships, loans or Pell grants.
The Cape Fear Community College Foundation exists solely to support the students, teachers, programs and mission of the College.

I was really lucky to join a fast-paced startup 7 years ago and surrounded myself with brilliant, quirky coworkers. I just decided to go back to school for a masters in web design and will start this fall.

I'm looking for someone with a sense of humor who is secure with themselves and interested in a serious relationship. I also want someone who loves to wine and dine and would jump on a last minute flight somewhere for a weekend of fun. Loving animals is definitely a plus!

Feb. 20: StandApp for iPhone and iPad
View MARCIAC10's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MARCIAC10
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
I've been spending a good bit of time in front of the computer lately. Partly due to being sick, partly due to the Sims 3, partly due to Spark, FB, etc.
So I found this app for the iPhone and iPad called StandApp. There are two versions: the free one with ads and the $.99 one with no ads. I splurged on the 99cent one! It's a simple app that reminds you to stand up and move throughout the day.
After moving through the introductory screens that talk about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle (Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, poor cholesterol, high blood pressure, and higher mortality rate), the next screen talks about what happens to your body when you sit down. That screen was eye opening to me (I knew the danger screen info but not this screen). The screen after that breaks it down into numbers with a nice pie chart.
And then the screen that says: 30 minutes a day is not enough when you have a sedentary life style/job. Frequent breaks in the day are essential.
Skip a few pages, then the main page: Set Interval: you can chose 15 minutes, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Press start and the app counts down and alerts you when the time is up. Mine makes a noise like a text alert or something similar. I turned my sound off to see if it would vibrate, but it didn't. That would be a nice option, as often at work people have their phones on silent. It did make a quieter sound, though, very discreet.
Now for the other cool part:when the timer goes off the app plays a video (no sound) showing a simple exercise or task to do during the 5 minute standing break.
I was the calf stretch, shoulder stretch, social break, and personal phone call break (go make a personal phone call and stay on your feet. Obviously you don't have to do the suggested exercise, but it did get me thinking about it and so I did it. If you don't like or can't do the suggested exercise (the calf stretch could be a bit awkward in the work place) you can do your own stretch or look up the videos on the app for suggestions. The videos not only show someone doing the exercise, but has written directions.
When the 5 minute break is up it alerts you to get back to work.
You can change the time intervals or turn it off as suits your day. It has a progress chart, which will make more sense to me once I've put in a few days on this app.
So for me, at home, or you in the office, this could be a handy little app. You could set your own timer with your clock app, but then you'd have to reset the timer for the 5 minute break, and there would be no exercise videos to remind you to not only get up, but to do something in that 5 minutes.
You could easily add 30 minutes of activity to your day by using this app and spending the entire 5 minutes doing stretches at your desk or walking up and down the halls, etc.

Cool! I am always on my mother to get up and move. She insists that she does, but she will sit in the recliner for hours. I'm going to suggest this app. Thanks so much.

It sounds like a neat app. I haven't switched over to a smart phone like the rest of the universe, but I think I will have to eventually. I had to buy a watch with an alarm so that I could remember to take my meds and I still forget if I don't do it as soon as the alarm goes off.

2. Then add the onion with the beef and cook until onion becomes translucent and beef is cooked through.
3. While the beef and onion are cooking add the tomato soup, salsa, cheese dip and jalapeño into a crockpot.
