Volunteer Opportunities
Interested? Call 1.800.227.2345 to learn more
The American Cancer Society is powered by volunteers - of all ages and from all walks of life. The common denominator is a passion to put an end to a disease that has taken too much from so many people.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the American Cancer Society and our substantial accomplishments are a testament to their dedication.
Administrative Support
General office help is needed in preparing mailings, gathering and maintaining an inventory of materials, entering data, filing, photo-copying, and working on special projects.
Government Relations and Advocacy
Volunteer grassroots advocates apply their own personal "constituent pressure" through phone calls, emails, meetings with lawmakers and letters to the editor to impact those elected officials who represent their interests with local, state, and federal policy-making bodies.
Volunteer for Events
Endurance Events
Participation in a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, or cycling event can now also become a means to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Volunteers are needed on the planning committees to help with the pre-event preparation, as well as on the weekend and day of the events to help with such things as covering a table at a race expo to helping cheer participants on during the race, and many other event-day support roles. Click here to learn more.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer®
This is the American Cancer Society's signature breast cancer event, raising dollars to increase breast cancer awareness, promote early detection, and fund research to find cures. We need team leaders, team members, and volunteers for these walks, which average about 5 miles. Learn more.
Relay For Life®
An American Cancer Society signature activity, Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight activity that mobilizes communities across the country to celebrate survivorship, remember those who have lost their lives to cancer and raise money for the fight against cancer. Volunteers are needed to sit on Relay For Life committees, form teams of walkers to participate in the event, help recruit survivors to participate, and volunteer at the event. Learn more.
Programs and Services
Look Good…Feel Better
Licensed cosmetologists provide free consultations, individually, and in groups to help patients cope with the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment, hair loss, and skin changes. Cosmetologists are needed on an ongoing basis.
Reach to RecoverySM
Volunteer breast cancer survivors, trained by the American Cancer Society, answer non-medical questions and offer practical advice to men and women facing a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Special early support is available for women who are facing breast cancer but who have not yet begun treatment.
Road to RecoverySM
Transportation to treatment appointments is a problem for many patients who cannot drive themselves, or who don't have a family member available to drive them. Road to Recovery volunteers give their time and the use of their vehicles to offer free transportation to patients. The American Cancer Society will provide orientation, training, and support materials to drivers.

The YOLO Effect
by Levi Fox
You only live once.
This twist of carpe diem, coined by Canadian rapper Drake, has become the anthem of our culture.
In the 2013 season debut of: Saturday Night Live, hosted by Maroon 5's Adam Levine, the comedians of New York's finest satirically countered this debaucherous message of "YOLO."
In comparison with this SNL digital short, the idea that "you have only one life to live" can present itself with two reactions:
One–Eat. Drink. Be merry. Repeat.
Two–Don't waste it.
Pop culture drives you through door number one. Society propagates a worldview contrary to what is healthy and moral. Boys remain boys and do not become men. There's no drive for uprightness. The desire for respect is lost.
Chastity is replaced by promiscuity. Principle falls to lawlessness. Honor meets humiliation. And obscenity trumps decency.
Have it your way? YOLO. Hook up? YOLO. Higher than a kite? Move to Colorado. YOLO. [in that order]
Here's the catch: you only live once.
You have one opportunity to make a difference. One chance to succeed. One life to live.
Hedonism is not reality. So, grow up. The thought that ideas and actions bear no consequence can make for great lyrics, but, like most songs, it does not translate to life.
SNL wasn't making a call for morality to be restored and people to take charge of personal responsibility. They certainly wouldn't use Adam Levine for that.
In fact, they are probably mocking those who live so "uptight," who "make no lasting impressions at all." But, regardless of intent, the message of Epicureanism flows throughout the clip.
It is because we only have one chance to run the marathon called life that we dedicate ourselves, not looking back, but pushing towards the end.
A life without purpose is like a game without rules.
Live for something greater than yourself. Pursue worthy goals and make a difference.
Leave a legacy, not regret.
You only live once.
"It's easy to slip through life without taking any risks–without making your life count. But life ought not be wasted." -John Piper 'Don't Waste Your Life'

No indication that gastrointestinal symptoms related to food consumption
Oct 31/13
Wilfrid Laurier University's Health Services team became aware of a small number of students who presented with similar gastrointestinal symptoms Wednesday morning. As a proactive measure, Laurier's Health Services and Food Services contacted Region of Waterloo Public Health, and they conducted a full inspection of the dining hall on Wednesday.
At this time, there has not been any indication that these symptoms are connected to food consumption. Some of the students with gastrointestinal symptoms did not eat at Laurier's dining hall. Proper investigation and data collection is ongoing.
Laurier is committed to the health and well-being of everyone in the university community, and will continue to work with Health Services, Food Services and the Region of Waterloo Public Health to monitor health conditions on campus and to provide updated information.
The students who were seen were advised to take Gravol, stay hydrated, and rest. With any flu or virus, the best precaution is to avoid contact with those who are ill and to clean and sanitize your hands as often as possible throughout the day.
Students who are exhibiting gastrointestinal or flu-like symptoms are encouraged to visit Health Services or see their family doctor.

Film festival is a challenge
By Sally Jongsma
Four students and a professor spent more than forty-eight intense hours together in late October. Communication Professor Mark Volkers and four student film buffs participated in a forty-eight-hour film challenge, one of 161 teams nationwide�teams whose members ranged from California professionals to high school enthusiasts. All started with the same building blocks: At 7:00 p.m. in their own time zone, each team received an e-mail with a genre, a line of dialogue, a prop, and a character out of which they were to create a four- to eight-minute film. That film had to be mailed two days later.
The Dordt team of Volkers, Tara Warolin, Aaron Huisman, Jon De Weerd, and Matt Berkenpas were given the genre of comedy. Their line of dialogue was �Ah, but can you do this?�; the prop was �gravy�; and the character was �Pat Ogelsby, a door-to-door salesperson.�
�Exhilarating, exhausting, elating,� are the three words Warolin uses to describe the event. Although the team had done a bit of preparation by scouting out possible shooting locations, auditioning possible actors, and getting releases signed, the 7:00 p.m. e-mail marked the start of two feverish days of activity. They headed to a seminar room and, with the exception of Volkers who stole two hours of sleep and Warolin who managed to get one, worked on the script through the night.
Students who teamed up with Professor Mark Volkers got little sleep but learned a lot during a 48-hour team film challenge. Pictured are Jon De Weerd, Matt Berkenpas, Aaron Huisman, Tara Warolin, and Volkers.
�That�s probably one of the toughest parts,� says Volkers. �You have to force yourself to sit down and write something that�s believable.�
�We started to brainstorm and throw out random ideas,� says Warolin. �Most of us had been suggesting crazy things while Jon was sitting quietly in the back. All of a sudden he blurts out �vacuums,� and we went with it.� �Extracting SUCKcess,� the title of the film, grew from there.
By 8:30 the next morning, energized by adrenalin rather than sleep, the team left for Orange City to begin filming. They returned to campus by afternoon, and finished filming in the B.J. Haan Auditorium by midnight. After a few hours of sleep, the team began a twenty-four-hour editing marathon.
�It was an entire semester of learning in forty-eight hours,� Huisman says. Students wrote the script, shot camera footage, did lighting, and some acting and editing.
�Film projects can stretch out a long time,� says Volkers, who is an award- winning filmmaker. �Here you have to finish something up within two days.�
Judging of the films occurs over the next sixty days. Judges will select one winner and let the public vote for another winner from the top fifteen films. Volkers was recently notified that the film is being shown at a National Film Challenge Showcase in St. Louis in early November. Although separate from the judging process, the film�s selection is nevertheless an honor. Regardless of the results, Volkers says the award is not what�s important. He�s seen what students have learned and the buzz it created on campus for the expanded program in filmmaking that will take off next year. With the addition of new equipment and new courses next year, he expects students to begin learning a great deal about filmmaking as they work on a variety of worthwhile projects.
�Film is a powerful form of communication,� he says. �We need to learn how to use it to tell what God is doing�and tell our story with excellence.�

I can see your point but should the women just give up, when there is still money wasted? As for your other point, the Prime Minister is on a lot less in terms remuneration! It would be interesting as to what councils have in terms of valuable paintings etc, some of which are stored away? I'm sure there was a TV programme on the subject.
I accept that cutting the bigger salaries will not cut the liability, it's simply the injustice. Hasn't it been said that executive pay is going up excessively whereas the ordinary workers are bearing the brunt of the downturn? You don't see too many executives marching in protest!
Anyhow, the legal wrangling will continue.
Are council salaries excessive? I've never looked into it to be honest, on the face of it they don't strike me as being to bad when compared to what those in the private sector earn for running similar sized organisations.
The prime ministers salary always seems to me to be a red hearing given what being in that job does to there future earning potential!
I'm not sure cutting the wages of those you deem to be over paid council execs and selling a few paintings is going to raise whats needed to settle past injustices. My concern would be that these liabilities will be settled to the detriment of those in the here and now and dare I say it when your cutting things like library services, sure start services etc etc to make up for budget short falls you'll disproportionately discriminate against women who, certainly in my experience use these services far more than men.

A new smoking ban at all 284 city parks on Oahu is expected to be signed into law by Mayor Kirk Caldwell after being passed Wednesday by the City Council.
But even before the law goes into effect on Jan. 1, smokers have found a gaping loophole that permits smoking at any beach park, as long as you're at the water's edge.
"We would line up all along the beach with our ankles wet in the water and enjoy our tobacco, because if you in the water, it's OK," said Kawika Crowley with the Hawaii Smokers Alliance.
In actuality, standing on the high water mark, where dry sand meets wet sand, would prevent smokers from being cited by police at parks like Ala Moana, where a smoking ban is already in effect on all the sandy areas.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell says the loophole is problematic, but he hopes smokers will follow the spirit of the law.
"If you have a sign saying 'no smoking' in this park, most people will take that literally and not smoke on the beach or down by the water," said Caldwell. "For those few who do, we're going to have to deal with it."
The high water mark is controlled by the Department of Land and Natural Resources, but spokeswoman Deborah Ward says the state agency would likely be required to write new administrative rules to ban smoking in such areas. Ward said conservation officers would help with enforcement as much as possible when the city ordinance takes effect in six months.
"While the smoking ban is an issue for City and County enforcement, the State will support the enforcement as much as possible, and in addition the State DOCARE will continue to enforce state laws that prohibit carelessness with fire, littering, and water pollution (i.e. from cigarette butts, etc.)," Ward wrote in an email. "We urge the public to be respectful of the environment and the community, and properly dispose of all trash in appropriate receptacles."
Stuart Coleman, Hawaii coordinator with the Surfrider Foundation, lobbied the City Council for more than a year to pass the smoking ban at city parks. Although enforcement of littering laws won't close the loophole, Coleman hopes police will crack down on smokers who discard their butts in the ocean.
"It's still illegal to litter, so if they're doing that, people will be watching them like hawks," Coleman told KITV4. "It's about self-enforcement and respecting others' rights, and so that's what I think we're counting on."
Crowley believes the City Council could have come up with a reasonable compromise by designating exclusive smoking areas at city parks, instead of an all-out ban.
"You'd be surprised how courteous smokers are nowadays," said Crowley. "Smokers would have gone easily (to those areas)."
Caldwell said he doesn't know if DLNR Director William Aila will address the issue of smoking on the high water mark, but he plans on starting the discussion.
"I don't know what he can do, if anything, but we'll bring it up with him," said the mayor.

Non-public schools in Illinois seeking recognition
status from the Illinois State Board of Education for the
upcoming school year and which met the required procedural
deadlines will be notified next week whether their application
has been approved, state board officials said today. Last
year, some 800 of 1400 non-public schools received such recognition
through participation in the voluntary program. However, a
line item veto cut to the agencys budget by Governor
Blagojevich has eliminated ISBEs capacity to carry out
the function of registering and recognizing these schools
beyond August 15.
ISBE recognition is sought by non-public schools for various
reasons, including:
The State board believes this is a crucial service,
and its our intention to work with the General Assembly
next year to restore fiscal support for it, said Robert
E. Schiller, State Superintendent of Education. But
providing this program is not required by the statutes and
we no longer have the funding to perform the work, he
In May, ISBE sent letters to all nonpublic schools in the
state informing them that to be processed, their applications
for recognition for the 03-04 school year must be sent to
ISBE (schools in Chicago) or to the local Regional Office
of Education (all other schools) no later than June 30th.
All applications that met that deadline were processed before
the Governors cuts were announced, and those schools
will be notified of their status next week. Any application
received after June 30 will not be processed because of the
budget cut. The recognition program will shut down fully August
15, ISBE said.
Chicago schools that are recognized for 03-04 will receive
their certificates from ISBE; all other schools in the state
will receive their certificate from the Regional Office of

Barre eighth-grader makes sure children have toysBy Stefan Hard
Stefan Hard / Staff Photo Autumn Wheeler, 13, of Barre, poses Monday at her school, Barre City Elementary and Middle School, with some of the new and used toys donated by students at the school in a Toy Joy collection drive she organized to provide Christmas gifts for kids in need. Her efforts helped her win a $1,000 Kohl's Cares regional college scholarship.
BARRE — For Autumn Wheeler, collecting donated toys around Christmastime for kids who need them is a family tradition.
Her mom, Rose Wheeler-Stillson, and her late brother, Zachary, who died at age 26 from cancer, had been organizing an annual Toy Joy campaign in central Vermont since the time she was in diapers.
"It's just a natural thing in my family, but I'd do it anyway" said Autumn, now 13 and nearly halfway through eighth grade, her last year at Barre City Elementary and Middle School.
On Monday, she collected a huge bag full of new and used toys brought in by fellow students. Autumn made a presentation a few days earlier to her peers about the Toy Joy program, and they responded with generosity.
"We did a collection earlier, and not much came in," said Autumn, "so I gave a presentation to explain about the program, and we got a lot more this time."
And now she is collecting something of her own for her toy drive efforts: a $1,000 award from Kohl's Cares Scholarship Program as one of a dozen regional winners.
"Since 2004, Autumn has volunteered to help collect, clean and distribute toys for Toy Joy, a program that collects and distributes gently used toys to children," read the announcement of her award on the Kohl's Cares website.
Autumn is thrilled, and her mom is proud.
"Our family has been doing this for well over 20 years," said Wheeler-Stillson on Monday. "Autumn has really taken up the cause after my son Zachary died in 2009. So I decided on a whim to enter her in this Kohl's Care scholarship. And she won!"
Wheeler-Stillson and her daughter collect donations from schools all over central Vermont, and from businesses, churches and libraries, and amass the toys for children ages infant to 15 at Bethany Church in Montpelier. On Dec. 15, parents can come into Bethany Church on Main Street and pick out one new toy and browse gently used toys for Christmas gifts for their children, all for free.
Wheeler-Stillson said the event typically serves about 800 to 1,200 children each year, but Wheeler-Stillson is concerned that the donations so far this year are not keeping up with the program's demands.
The drop-off locations for the Toy Joy program are: all schools in Northfield, Berlin, Williamstown, Middlesex, Calais, East Montpelier and Barre City; in Berlin at First in Fitness, Midstate Dodge/Hyundai and Berlin Bible Baptist Church; in East Montpelier at Washington Electric Cooperative; in Montpelier at National Life Group, Trinity United Methodist Church, Bethany Church and Kellogg-Hubbard Library; and in Barre at Barre Congregational Church and Faith Community Church.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Comments: I love this shoe. Perfect for dirt trails in the east bay hills. Extremely comfortable and durable (I've probably got 500 miles on them). As someone else says, like ice skates on wet rock. Seriously. Also, the laces suck. They will not stay tied.
From: Carl, Oakland, CA
Comments: If you run this shoe on wet rock or wood you will break your neck. They are like ice skates. Other than that the tread performs flawlessly in dry conditions. Not so much suitable for technical terrain as it doesn't offer much protection. It does have the cushion for the long haul though. The rounded heel is a great feature and helps keep you on the forefoot. The split toe and mid sole do-hicky are just gimmics IMO.
I wasn't able to run much in these shoes, about 40 miles or so and then I had to return them. I will say the outsole seems pretty durable. But they were just too wide for my low volume feet. I could get a nice snug fit if I cranked down on the laces but then I would experience horrible top of the foot pain.
This shoe would be great for those who frequent non-techy trails and have average to high volume feet. As for me, they just didn't cut it.
From: Emil, PMV, GA.
Comments: I bought this shoes for trail running and have used it also for some hiking. Very comfortable and light, the forefoot is wide enough and allows the toes to spread and have more feel on the landing. This has more protection than NB mt101 since the thicker padding. The shoes grips well on rocks and trail, except in wet surfaces and tree stumps. Have slid on a wet rock surface and wet downhill soil couple of times. It drains well but the mesh is not that durable, a couple of thorn scrape have torn the mesh in a couple of places - would appreciate a more durable mesh structure. Overall, I think this is a great shoe for trails. I've used this for 4 races and still holding up.
From: Makay, Australia
Comments: Feels nice and snug on my somewhat narrow foot. It really does hug the foot, as they say. I can say that about this shoe. I live by gravel roads and need something tough, but minimal. These do the job very well. They are not heavy. I have wanted to try out different New Balance trail shoes, but I might just stick with another pair of these instead.
From: Cliff, Waverly, IA, USA
Comments: The Pure Grit are very comfortable feeling lightweight shoes that seem to get even a little better after a couple of runs in them. I have put significant miles on my pair, so far, including two trail races of approximately 15-18K and similar length training runs on a variety of terrain. As another reviewer stated, they do not grip well on damp smooth surfaces - I too slipped on a wooden bridge. For most other surfaces, including most southern California trails, they grip quite well. They also seem to have enough protection in the soles for all but the most rocky terrain. My complaint with them is that the uppers do not adequately hold my feet and it is difficult to lace them such that my fore-foot doesn't slip around excessively without being tight in the ankle and midfoot. This is a problem with technical trails and terrain with lots of downhill running where I'll quickly develop hot spots around the inside of my forefoot and big toe. Perhaps sizing down a half size would help, however the length of my standard size elevens is just about right and the shoe really does not seem too big. I also do not have any problem with heel slipping in the size 11's. I think the problem is mainly in the materials of the lightweight uppers. The elastic "Nav band" does nothing so far as I can tell.
From: Anonymous
Comments: I've been running in these for a little over a month now, roughly 150 miles logged. Overall, I would say the are an excellent shoe. I've used them more on the road, than the trails. This is my first exposure to a minimal type shoe, and I have slight over pronation. I've been averaging about 30 seconds per mile faster over my last shoe (Ghost 3).
Today I went on the wet trails for the first time. The traction is unique when compared to other shoes I have worn. On the trails they were fine, but there were two wooden bridge crossings that were extremely slippery. I was with 4 other runners and no one was slipping has much as I was in these shoes. This is the only negative I have found in these shoes.
These shoes are extremely light weight and very comfortable. They fit me true to size and had no issues with the strap Gus referred to, although I've read other people have cut it out as well.
From: Dan, Chicago, IL USA
Comments: I've used this shoe for 3 runs so far and I think this may be my new "go-to" shoe. I'm 155lbs, supinate slightly, run 5 days a week always on trails, durations between :45min to 2hours. First of all, I normally use size 11.5 and this shoe felt a bit bigger. I think I'm going to try a size 11. This shoe has just enough cushion to take the edge off landings. I like the roomy toe box, I like non-aggressive heel collar, there's bit of padding on the tongue (the tongue is a one-piece style -keeping additional trail crumbs out) -hmmm, the shoe feels like a sock. This shoe sort of reminds me of the first Nike Lunar Flys/Avants. The tread works well and isn't the type to get clogged up with dirt. I've used these shoes, so far, on dry hard trails and mile long sections of pavement. My only issue so far would be that I think I'm wearing a 1/2 size too big - this results in a bit of squishyness on off chamber sections and downhill turning. The rock plate isn't stiff, but it isn't as flexible as the NewBalance MT 101s. The low heel and moderate cushioning of this shoe makes the run VERY enjoyable - my landings are smooth, quiet, and efficient. The shoe has some arch, and a plastic structure in the heel area - not necessary in these modern efficient neutral trail shoes - also, the strap across the shoe might work if the shoe is closer fitting - it doesn't seem to have a function on my pair, it's loose - I'm cutting it out for better lace access. I'm going to try one size smaller with these Pure Grit units, and one size bigger in the Saucony Kinvara 2 units. Brooks did good work here. I would be comfortable all day in these shoes - 8+ hours of running. It's nice to see the cumbersome overlays and fake tech on trail shoes disappearing and the ounces going down.

April 9, 2002: Someday our Milky Way Galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy may come crashing together in a horrendous collision that will twist and distort their shapes beyond recognition. Of course, to see that, you'll have to wait several billion years. But thanks to a combination of research science, Hollywood computer graphics, and large-scale visualization, visitors to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, can witness such an event today. The Space Telescope Science Institute, the scientific home of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, is extending its tradition of stunning imagery by creating a spectacular scientific visualization of two galaxies colliding. This incredibly detailed, full-dome video sequence will be a highlight of "Infinity Express: A 20-Minute Tour of the Universe," the inaugural show in the National Air and Space Museum's newly renovated Einstein Planetarium, opening Saturday, April 13.See the rest:
A collision of two spiral galaxies takes hundreds of millions of years to occur. So, researchers use supercomputer simulations to study how galaxies are transformed and merge together. Dr. Frank Summers, an institute astrophysicist, took research simulation data from two astronomers and visualized it using the same software that Hollywood uses to produce blockbuster visual effects. Special care was taken so that what appears onscreen accurately reflects what was calculated in the simulation.
The visualization will play in a planetarium equipped with a full-dome digital video system, which immerses the viewer in the dynamic wonders of the universe. The video system will project the show across the entire hemisphere of the planetarium dome. The system has up to 23 times the resolution of a standard television and is wrapped 360 degrees around the audience, surrounding them in the experience.

Taxpayers covering Milwaukee Co. sheriff's pro-gun radio ad
Sheriff: Ads are public safety announcements
A sheriff who released a radio ad urging Milwaukee-area residents to learn to handle firearms so they can defend themselves says he's using taxpayer funds to air them.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the ads that first aired last month are public safety announcements.
Clarke's department has an $84.9 million budget for 2013, with 85 percent coming from county property taxes. Most of the rest comes from state and federal funds.
The exact amount being spent on the ads couldn't be determined from invoices and other department records reviewed by the newspaper.
But Clarke's office has agreed to buy more than $17,000 in radio ads this year, including the gun-themed ads. Last year, the department spent nearly $26,000 last year on safety ads.

Dwan Gallery was one of a handful of prominent galleries on La Cienega Boulevard that introduced artists from the New York school and promoted the local avant garde. In the mid-1960s, the gallery showed works by Robert Rauschenberg and Larry Rivers, among others, and for a selection of these shows, the artists made drawings for offset lithographs to promote the exhibition. While the offset process had been used for decades for commercial purposes, such artists as June Wayne were using the technique to make fine-art prints. This lithograph was intended for promotional purposes, yet its authorship, together with the quality of the paper and the printing, reminds us that printmaking is a technique that toes the line between fine art and commerce.

New Year, New Reliever
Today the Phillies agreed to terms with 32-year old right-handed relief pitcher Danys Baez, formerly of the Orioles. Pending the physical exam, Baez will be given a 2-year contract. He went 4-6 with a 4.02 ERA in 59 games last year, did not pitch in 2008 due to ligament surgery on his right pitching elbow and had a dismal 2007 with a 6.44 ERA in 53 games. Baez does have closing experience, which might be helpful if Brad Lidge is not ready to pitch in 2010.
However, this move is still a bit of a head scratcher. Baez had two good seasons; his rookie year in 2001 and with Tampa Bay in 2005. But his lifetime ERA is 4.04 with a record of 35-49. Charlie Manuel managed him from 2001-2001 when he played for the Indians, which we all know means that Chuck likes him a bunch, as he does most of his ex-players. It is easy to assume that played a factor in the decision.
Also, Baez is a righty, and the pen is in desperate need of lefties with only JC Romero signed and a few rookie possibilities. Scott Eyre's future is still uncertain. So, this move tells us a few things: #1 – The Phillies are not confident that Lidge will be game-ready in April. #2 – The Phillies are willing to take their chances with the left-handed rookies, Sergio Escalona and Antonio Bastardo. #3 – Although we do not know the contract amount yet, it is safe to assume Baez came cheap. That means, the Phillies have blown their payroll and this will be the last big move, aside from handing out a few raises.
Another pitcher whose status is uncertain is Jamie Moyer. He has had 2 surgeries already since September, 3 hospital visits, 2 blood infections, a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) and a partridge in a pear tree. Well, at least there was a little holiday cheer thrown in for him. All that and he is now scheduled for surgery #3 in January on his right knee to repair his meniscus. At 47 years of age, one has to wonder if Moyer will be able to recover from such an ordeal and come back to pitch effectively. Then again, if anyone can defy the laws of aging, it would be Moyer. I wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery!
I would also like to take this time to wish everyone out there a very Happy New Year! Be safe :O)

Baez is a good thing.
I have been chummy with him for a few years and he was hoping for a team on the East coast of the United States.
And he is a great insurance polivy if Ledge or Romero do not come back 100 percent.
I am sure by August people in Philly will wonder why it was not done sooner or for more time.
At least I know I can go to Clearwater this Spring and see Danys in the Philly Bullpen at BrightHouse Field.
Rays Renegade
Thank you Renegade! Don't know much about him beyond stats, so that makes me feel better :O) Look forward to seeing what he brings! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Jenn!
I am wishing you all the best! I know last season didn't turn out the way you wished for. Phillies are looking strong this year too!
Matthew Tang
Not sure yet if Baez is good for us or not, his stats show him as a similar Durbin type pitcher, but who knows he may have his best year yet in the Phillies pinstripes…
Happy New Year
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Baez is a vet with some experience in big situations. It'll be nice to have a solid pen to accompany that killer rotation

This data collection is part of a series of nationwide surveys conducted from October 1990 to June 1996 in Spain. The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on demands for social welfare. Among the topics investigated were the socioeconomic status of households, health insurance coverage, sources of assistance received to deal with disease, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and money problems, and knowledge of and attitudes toward public and private institutions that provide welfare assistance. The survey also gauged opinions regarding social inequality and aid to Third World countries. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.

On Common Ground
People on the same side often find they disagree on the specifics. Let's take Jeff and his love of the Cardinals. There are plenty of other St. Louis fans out there who will immediately agree with Jeff that the Cardinals are the best and most wonderful team in the history of baseball. However, when Jeff then confesses his undying love for Albert Pujols, one of these guys might tell him to hold up a second because obviously Ozzie Smith is much more loveable than Prince Albert. This will then devolve into a heated discussion on how facial hair should be worn and that will quickly be followed by a fistfight. But they both still love the Cardinals.
What matters is that both sides ultimately coalesce around a common enemy. Although both Jeff and this other Cardinals' fan truly believe that they are right, and although they may believe that the other person is an idiot for even voicing another opinion out loud, the argument gets easily forgotten when faced with the scourge that is the Chicago Cubs. If there's one thing they can agree on, despite their insistence on the correct style of facial hair for a true Cardinal, it's the fact that the Cardinals are much, much, much better than the Cubs. Everything else pales in comparison.
For this same simple reason, I don't take all that much joy in the current imbroglio within the GOP. Sure, there may be a significant difference in ideology that leads Glenn Beck to think that the US should stand by Mubarak to the bitter end while Bill Kristol believes in supporting democracy even when it turns messy. I'm sure if you sat the two of them down at a table they would argue all day long about who's right. (On a side note I'm also pretty sure that Kristol would end up punching Beck in the nose because Beck's absolute inability to apply simple logic in an argument would eventually push Kristol over the edge.)
However, the reason why I take no joy in any of this is because it doesn't matter. Sure, the two men may fundamentally disagree on a subject that one could claim is the heart and soul of their party's current identity but ultimately, just like Jeff and the other Cardinals' fan, they share a more important common enemy. Even if the argument about the fate of Egypt continues indefinitely, both Beck and Kristol will be voting for whoever runs against Obama in 2012.
In some ways, this is the beauty of politics and sports. Despite our disagreements, we can find common ground. In the days following the 2000 election, both sides accused each other of bad faith and cheating. But a year later, the entire country immediately coalesced around President Bush when faced with a much greater common enemy.
Like Jeff or Bill Kristol, I may not agree with many things that my fellow Michiganders believe. But we can still watch the Lions, Tigers or Red Wings together and share a common ground for a short little while. Well, until someone tries to tell me that Billy Sims was better than Barry Sanders, at least. Then it all goes out the window.

I tend to disagee with both of you.
The St. Louis Cardinals used to Spring Training not even 1 mile from my house in northwest St. Petersburg at the Busch complex, and they guy I love is Stan "the Man" Musial most of all.
Then again, I used to change the oil in his car and also fill-up his tank at the pumps as a kid and found it more thrilling than catching a ball at Al Lang Field (You can't catch a HR unless you are beyond RF in the street).
But if I had to take a seond name out of the hat it would be…….Bob Gibson who used to fight with St. Petersburg merchants who would not let him eat in their establishments or sleep in their hotels. Got to admire a man who understood his right way before Dr Martin Luther King had a dream.

I don't see Dems and Reps finding much common ground at all. Maybe they should all be Cardinals fans.
I don't know Allen, one Cardinals fan thinking another Cardinals fan is an idiot, that's far fetched don't you think, I mean your assuming Cardinal fans can actually think.
Seriously there is common ground among Michiganders, and you expect us to believe that you can actually have 2 or more people in the same room that want to watch any sporting team that hails from the Detroit area, you can definitely tell the baseball season is closing on, Allen's fantasy's get wilder…

"Never met a wilderness she did like."
My family and I are just back from the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. The beauty, the sound of the loons at night, and the chance to get away from technology and enjoy the sheer physical pleasure of hiking and swimming and being outdoors makes summer vacation up north a cherished annual trek.
This year, we visited the home of the late Sigurd Olson, one of the authors of the Federal Wilderness Act, which turns fifty on September 3.
Thanks to the work of Olson and his contemporaries, we now have almost 110 million acres of protected wild places in America.
It was a tremendously difficult and controversial achievement.
Olson, who wrote beautifully about his love of the wilderness in his nine classic books, was burned in effigy in Ely, Minnesota, in 1978.
The law he helped create, and the designation of his beloved Boundary Waters as protected land, drove the resort owners, snowmobilers, motor-boaters, and logging and mining interests from more than a million acres in what would become the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Some people never forgave him.
"This is the most beautiful lake country on the continent," Olson told a jeering crowd in Ely as Congress considered the area's wilderness designation in 1978. "We can afford to cherish and protect it. Some places should be preserved from development and exploitation, for they satisfy a human need for solace, belonging, and perspective. In the end we turn to nature in a frenzied chaotic world, there to find silence—oneness—wholeness—spiritual release."
Or, as Lyndon Johnson put it when he signed the Wilderness Act, "If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it."
Our need for nature is stronger than ever today. Take it from someone coming back from a week of being unplugged.
But the threats are greater, too.
In his book Listening Point Olson wrote about the magical days and nights he spent camping, fishing, and soaking up the beauty of the area, how he moved an old, Finnish cabin board by board, admiring its perfect craftsmanship, and setting it back from the shore line so it wouldn't interrupt the view from a passing canoe.
Our guide, who was moved to tears in Olson's little cabin, is deeply involved in the fight over the greatest existential threat to the area since the signing of the Act: proposed sulfide mining that could poison the watershed in this pristine, protected land.
We have a similar mining battle here in Wisconsin.
As depressing and challenging as these fights are, freighted with the sense of impending destruction of a fragile, beautiful world, it is inspiring to remember the heroes of the early conservation movement.
They faced the same enemies—the tea partiers of their day, and the big business interests.
But for once, human values won against the interests of massive multinational conglomerates.
Beauty triumphed over commerce.
Canoers, hikers, and the Native American tribes who harvest wild rice trumped the lumber barons and the mines.
This summer, on August 24, a canoe is departing from Ely for a 100-day "Paddle to DC."
Dave and Amy Freeman are making the journey to draw attention to the threat sulfide mining poses to their community, the watershed, and the wilderness they love.
Our superstar publisher, Lisa Graves, is fresh back from a different sort of trip to Washington, DC. You may have seen her on Democracy Now, breaking the news that Charles Koch—not just his father—was a member of the John Birch Society.
That piece made a big splash on our website.
And it is particularly outrageous because, as Lisa writes, Charles Koch was a member of the John Birch Society just when it was launching its loathsome attacks on civil rights activists, including Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, and trying to impeach Earl Warren, while supporting the police who assaulted marchers in Birmingham.
Way back in 1964, The Progressive was warning about the John Birch society and its insidious support of white segregationists in the South.
That was during Freedom Summer.
Looking back through the 1964 bound volume of Progressive magazines, you can read many first-hand accounts of the great civil rights struggle that year.
A chilling report on violent white separatists in St. Augustine, Forida, in September 1964, is titled "Fear and the Far Right."
White segregationists marched on a black neighborhood, only to find a "Welcome" sign, and "lining both sides of the street for fully three blocks, were hundreds of Negroes," wrote Pat Watters, information director of the Southern Regional Council.
"They outnumbered the marchers at least three to one. All they did was to stand almost motionless and sing a civil rights hymn, "I love everybody; I love everybody; I love everybody in my heart."
Yet, "When Negroes made their marches into the downtown section, they were met nightly by a white crowd, jeering, throwing rocks and bricks, and attacking with fists, clubs, and such weapons as bottles of acid and bicycle chains."
Civil right leader Hosea Williams declared, "We will bleed and die that America shall be free."
The article ends with this observation:
"St. Augustine's experience demonstrates what befalls a city when the forces of terrorism and the far-right, as symbolized by the Klan and the Birch Society, dictate public policy by exploiting the racism which the Republican campaign disclaims, but comforts."
So, too, today.
We are in good company with the fighters for progressive values of fifty years ago, who were animated not by hate, but by love.

The beauty and the tragedy of everyday life in a war zone.
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Man who refused to attend his own trial found guilty of sexual assaultBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | September 19,2013BENNINGTON After deliberating for less than an hour Wednesday, a jury found a local man, who declined to attend his trial, guilty of a felony count of sexual assault with no consent.
William O. Stanley Sr., 52, of Bennington was arraigned Oct. 11 on the sexual assault charge and a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct. The jury found Stanley innocent of the second charge.
The trial took place Tuesday and Wednesday in Bennington criminal court.
Stanley had been released from an eight-year prison term for just a few weeks when the new charges were filed against him. He had been in jail for escaping from custody.
The woman who accused Stanley was related to him but hadnt seen him in 20 years. She had come to Vermont from California in an attempt to reconnect with Stanley.
During the trial, she said she and her boyfriend had gone to the Rutland jail on Sept. 27, 2012, to pick up Stanley upon his release.
The woman testified that the three of them had spent much of the next few weeks together, but said that as early as the day he was released from jail, Stanley had said suggestive things that made her uncomfortable and touched her in ways she thought were inappropriate.
She told the jury he had touched her in a very intimate way Oct. 10 in a Bennington motel room where the woman, her boyfriend and Stanley had been staying.
Later the same day, she said, while the three of them were driving in Bennington in a truck, Stanley touched her again until she pushed his hand away.
The woman said that when she was very young she had seen Stanley stab a woman. After she pushed his hand away Oct. 10, Stanley threatened to kill her if she told anyone what had happened, the woman testified.
The trial was unusual because Stanley refused to enter the courtroom, although he had been brought to Bennington from the Rutland jail where he has been held since he was arraigned in October. Stanley was not present in the courtroom for any part of the trial including the reading of the jurys verdict.
Stanley also refused to come into court in September 2005 when he was tried for escape. The jury convicted Stanley and he appealed the conviction to the Vermont Supreme Court, arguing that the case should not have been allowed to proceed without his presence.
However, in a decision released on July 16, 2007, the justices upheld Stanleys conviction.
The trial court reasonably determined that (Stanleys) refusal to enter the courtroom was one tactic in an overall strategy to prevent the trial from proceeding, as evidenced by his failure to cooperate with each of his attorneys and his consistent requests to substitute appointed counsel, the Vermont Supreme Court decision said.
Judge Nancy Corsones made reference to the decision during the trial and gave T. Lamar Enzor, the attorney who represented Stanley, opportunities to leave the courtroom and keep Stanley apprised of what was happening during the trial.
During his closing argument, Enzor argued that Stanley had not touched the woman inappropriately but that she had come from California to Vermont to enact a revenge scheme and keep him in prison based on her anger over incidents that happened 20 years ago.
Stanley was not sentenced Wednesday. However, the jury found that the state had proven he could be classified as a habitual offender.
Stanley has several previous felony convictions, although the state only relied on three past convictions for escaping from custody to establish his status as a habitual offender. Because he was convicted of a felony Wednesday and of being a habitual offender, the state can ask for a sentence of life in prison.

I disagree. I think Melo DOES need to take over this game. This is where true champions are tested. Lin out, STAT out, this team needs some hope and there's one guy everyone's looking at to provide it. Melo. I think he's gonna blow up today.
Bulls without Rose have still been doing Phenomenally. A good team doesn't falter because one of their players is missing.


text: I think that the Knicks, to win this game tonight is be consistent in the paint, and at the foul line. The Knicks should try hard tonight, they need this win. Lets see if the Knicks will bounce back from the two close games they had. Hopefully. Lets go Knicks!

More Drunk Using Diet Mixers?
By Health Day
So you're out on a Saturday night...and order a rum and Diet Coke. While that diet drink may save you calories, it may also turn into trouble when it's time to drive home.
New research out of Texas suggests that diet mixers may make you seem like you've had more to drink than you really have.
The findings show that mixing alcohol with a diet soft drink rather than a regular one can make a person's "breath alcohol concentration"...something generally measured by a breathalyzer... higher.
In this small study...16 people - 8 men and 8 women - participated in three research sessions...Each time they were asked to drink a vodka with lemon lime soda, a vodka with diet lemon lime or a placebo drink without liquor.
They were then given a breathalyzer test and a series of tasks to determine their reaction time. They were also asked to rate their levels of intoxication, impairment, fatigue...and willingness to drive.
Mixing alcohol with a diet soft drink resulted in elevated breath alcohol levels in both the men and the women.
Participants who drank alcohol and diet beverages also exhibited the greatest impairment on the timed tasks.
Researchers theorize that the stomach may treat sugar-sweetened beverages like food, thus balancing out the liquor...but diet drinks don't have that same effect, so the alcohol absorbs faster.
The takeaway from this small study? You may want to consider your mixers when making your cocktail choices.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news that can help you stay healthy, happy, and fit.

Beverly council discusses 2012 projects, looks at 2013
BEVERLY – The Village of Beverly Council recapped progress made on projects in 2012 and discussed future projects and goals for the village during council's first regularly scheduled meeting of the year Wednesday night.
In his state of the village report, Beverly Mayor Rex Kenyon commented on the status of ongoing projects, including the village's attempts to secure funds for resurfacing village roads. The council applied for $323,988 in combined grants and loans in 2012, but that grant request was rejected by the Community Development Block Grant Program, said Kenyon.
"The request will be submitted to the Small Government Committee," said Kenyon.
The Small Government Committee, which will meet on Jan. 30 in Marietta to select seven small government-eligible projects for submission to the Ohio Public Works Commission, is an alternative possible source for the funding, he said.
Council member Jay Arnold noted he is concerned that if the grant is unsuccessful, the village will have gone three years without paving projects.
"It used to be that we were able to join hands with other communities. That's when we got paving done," said Arnold.
Partnering with other communities is risky because it can put the financial liability on a single community if the other cannot come up with the finances, said Kenyon. He added that he had briefly mentioned the possibility of partnering for a resurfacing grant to the mayor of Belpre.
The council discussed the loans and grants being secured for the waterline replacement project. An $800,000 zero interest loan has been secured from OPWC, said Kenyon. Now the village is trying to secure an additional $717,000 from the Ohio Water Development Authority, said village clerk Pam Jackson.
"The agreement itself is really straightforward," said village solicitor Tom Webster.
Arnold questioned why the village was no longer looking to a bank for the 2 percent interest loan, as had been the previous plan.
"The city wanted a 30-year loan and the bank would only agree to a 20," said Jackson.
The ODWA loan, if approved, would offer 2 percent interest for 30 years, she added.
Council member and grants committee president Mary Jane Tullius expressed concern that the village was applying for too many grants that required matched funding from the village.
"I suggest that we not apply for any additional grants at this time until the budget has an opportunity to recover," she said.
Kenyon then questioned whether they should no longer move forward with the OPWC grant request to fund resurfacing.
Council member Jim Ullman also expressed concern about spending funds not available.
"We said in the state of the village report there are no excess funds. I guess that concerns me that we don't have money for a contingency fund," he said.
Jackson noted that while there is no excess in the general fund, the paving project would be matched with money from the streets fund, which is healthy.
Kenyon said he would like the council to come up with legislature in the upcoming year that would require utility companies to get permits before working inside the village.
Kenyon said he noticed a truck installing large cables underground in the village earlier in the week.
"I would have thought they would have needed to have that OK'd by the village, but I had no knowledge of it," said Kenyon.
The company, Horizon, was installing fiber optic cables, he said.
