Wil Nieves, Cesar Hernandez, Jayson Nix, Tony Gwynn Jr., John Mayberry Jr. It is this group of men that make up the Phillies opening day bench. And it's an area of concern.
Ruben Amaro stated Saturday that the Phillies no longer have a group of starters that can be called upon to play 162 games. Bench players will get many chances to fill in for the likes of Rollins, Utley, and Howard. But they'll be leaning on players who have major warts.
Wil Nieves is a career .242 hitter that has never eclipsed 250 plate appearances in a season and is 36 years old.
Cesar Hernandez has just 131 career plate appearances.
Jayson Nix has played for five organizations in six seasons accumulating a .218 career average and .290 on-base percentage. He's not known as a top defender, either.
Tony Gwynn Jr. has a high-water mark of .270 with the Padres in 2009. He is 31 years old and is a 6.8 WAR player over parts of seven season in the majors.
John Mayberry Jr. may have the best resume of the bunch posting a 162-game average of 17 homers and 55 RBI. However, Mayberry is a 1.1 WAR player over parts of five seasons in the majors.
There is no go-to bat, no one to lean on heavily should a starter go down with injury, which seems to be a given at some point this year. And that's a problem.
Freddy Galvis will return at some point after he is cleared to play following a MRSA infection, but he's no sure thing either. Darin Ruf brings a power source from the reserves, but isn't a good defender, especially in the outfield. Nix gets a role on the team for now because of his ability to play shortstop. Do you trust Nieves as a full-time starter if Ruiz gets the injury bug?
The Phillies needed to reinforce the bench because of their injury-prone starters and they're left with an underperforming crew that brings more questions than answers.
30 Comments
I would assume that if Ruiz got injured we would bring up rupp to play full time, at least that's my hope…
The bench looks bad now but two of our major bench players are injured, so it's nothing to be too worked up over
It's hard to imagine Ruf and Galvis significantly improving the look of this crew. The bench stinks. It has for a number of years, this season might just be the worse
I disagree, I think ruf galvis and Hernandez are going to be very good bench options, backup catchers almost always can't hit anyway and the last spot will most likely be Mayberry or Gwynn, I honestly feel that's a pretty formidable bench
Is Ruben following the 76ers model for rebuilding the team this year?
Yes, except for the part about clearing cap space and amassing top draft choices.
Amaro and Sandberg seem to be thrilled with this "versatile" and "flexible" roster! I guess there's not much else they can really say in public.
Yeah, it's hard to sell tickets when you tell people that this is going to be the biggest suckfest since the turn of the century.
I suspect attentive fans are figuring that out for themselves.
Is there anything about the Phillies that is NOT a major concern this year? The only positive things I've heard are new food offerings and tchotchkes at CBP.
Look on the bright side – getting good seats at below face value will NOT be a major concern this season. I've already scored some great deals on StubHub.
I was riding home on the train, (I know, I know people named Big Ed Delahanty should not ride trains…ever because of some incident), and I was feeling depressed because I am no where close to meeting this looming deadline I have Monday, when the two men in front of me are discussin the Phillies opening day roster. Already feeling down, I did not wish to engage in fruitless banter about the lugubriousness of the season, when the one guy turns tithe other and states very seriously,"Do you know where Ruben Amaro and his scouts scout?" The other guy looks dumbfounded and shrugs his shoulders and responds, "I dunno, Steve. Where?" So Steve responds, stone-faced, "Graveyards and old age homes." So I burst out laughing, and the guy whips around and asks me what was so f@ckin$ funny.
Weird city, that Philadelphia.
So let's hope this line-up of versatile, ailing players proves everyone wrong and wins some games, so it will be a non-hostile train ride home from now on.
Once again, more concern than what's warranted, at least in my opinion. There are very few teams around that can effectively replace a regular for any length of time; teams aren't any different than the Phils in that respect. Imagine, for instance, Detroit without Cabrera, or who would be at 3rd for the Mets should Wright miss major time.
Also, last year everyone seemed to think Hernandez should be playing more, but now he's being declared too inexperienced?
Also, Galvis and Ruf are still around, and there are some other options like Rupp and Brignac and maybe others waiting at AAA. Last year it was MiniMart and the waiver wire.
The lack of a big bench bat could be a concern, but most "big bats" strike out a lot, and that's not always good when ther's a runner at third or if a pinch hitter is leading off. Personally, I'd rather have an OBP man in many pinch hitting situations.
I'm sure Sandberg isn't going to be resting three regulars in the same game, and I doubt seriously if Mayberry at first against a lefty will hurt that much, or Nix at third in place of the totally unproven Asche will hurt either. In fact, some of the so-called regulars, like the inexperienced Asche or the likely fading Rollins should be the ones to be concerned about. The regulars are still the ones who will make or break the team.
I agree with George that this is much ado about nothing. Look at the benches around the rest of the NL and you'll see much of the same….namely teams with bad to mediocre players who aren't scheduled to start. The Braves have Gerald Laird, Ryan Doumit, Tyler Pastornicky, Ramiro Pena and Jordan Schafer. The Nats have Nate McLouth, who will probably be better than anyone on the Phillies' bench, but other than that, there's not much difference.
I wonder what the raincheck date would be on an entire season?
Rube values flexibility over anything else. So for him its better to have a player do 3-4 things mediocre or poorly than to do one or two of them well. Its jack of all trades master of none syndrome. This would of been circa 2008-11 the bench wouldnt have mattered much but it isnt.
I thought he valued over priced old guys over anything else?
Possibly Andrew. One thing im on board for them carrying Hernandez no matter what. Ceasar might be the real deal here and should be giving a chance to be cultivated at the Major League Level.
Hernandez galvis and ruf are actually going to be 3 very good bench options, then Nieves will still take up a spot so they're going to have to choose between Gwynn Mayberry and nix for the last spot…. Once we get those guys healthy this will be a very decent bench…
I went to the On-Deck game on Friday night. The biggest metaphor for the season happened in the 5th inning when the Phanatic did his routine. He used his hot dog launcher to shoot hot dogs into the crowd. Except the gun was broken. They didn't even reach the front row of the stands. They were two or three feet and fell on the ground. Most landed near the ball girl.
It's going to be a quick season. Because most people are going to stop caring by May.
You didn't mention that Lee was manning the gun and couldn't get it to work (it may have been broken, as you said).
Hamels was sitting on the truck next to the gun, and the ones that made it into the stands were because Hamels threw them there.
So what you're saying is that Hamels can once again put mustard on the ball?
And yes, we all relish the thought.
Well, at least by putting mustard on the ball he won't put the team in a pickle. That way we can truly relish the thought. Did you ketch (up) all that?
I didn't notice it was Lee and Hamels.
So what you're saying is that even the two best players on the team couldn't save us from this trainwreck?
Good job, everyone.
"It's going to be a quick season. Because most people are going to stop caring by May"
To liberally paraphrase Janis Joplin, he began, maybe dating hisself, caring's just another word for nothin' specific to its meaning.
If caring's not paying bucks out of the entertainment budget, that's possible enough. If it means not paying attention, couldn't nothing be further from the truth.
One of life's great ironies is that if you're a contender, the word is attendance will pick up after May when Junior and Juniorette are out of school for the summer. Have the look of a losing year, and the fear factor drives 'em to say the masses won't care by the end of May.. I guess the truth lies somewhere around the mid section. The mid section might be in the top of the 3rd tomorrow if the Rangers get out to a 4-0 lead, but AFW and I will still be around.
But the real problem with judging the Phils bench ties in with that. The bench is an evolving process representing depth. Intragame, of course there's a big difference between the bench and minor league depth, but in terms of backing up the regulars, there's a strong similarity. See the way the Dodgers got huge help from Puig? Bogartes in Boston? Machado in Baltimore? See how the Angels took off when they called Trout up after 2 weeks 3 years back? Maikel Franco. could certainly be part of the roster and picture by let's say June for one reason or another That might make the bench stronger if he replaces an Asche who stays and provides depth (Asche is just an example…I'm hopeful and confident in his doing somewhere above a competent job).
So you wind up seeing Franko up here after May (pre 40 man time), and there'd be a good deal of interest from the hard core base of fans the Phils have, a number of whom hang around here. And that doesn't even take into account if if a guy or two most of us think is cooked comes on pretty strong. Somebody should. They aren't all going down at once. One of 'em should have some U turn left in 'em.
And you wonder how come Phillies fans are seen as front runners. After 6 really good years 2 NL Penents 1WS and 5 NL East titles they have a bad year and a half and no one cares. You can blame RAJ for bad trades and injuries and bad scouting coaching or whatever. But it is still Phillies baseball and it is spring do there is hope. And I know you are all spoiled now but it is time to get excited for baseball. You can not sell out a home opener and people are dropping their season tickets because they feel they are not WS contenders. What happened to the wonder if baseball and our team going out and playing the game. I'll enjoy this time of year with my hope and having 162 to play before I curse my team. And I will enjoy the chase weather it is a month or two or if goes into September and enjoy watching Cliff Cole D Brown Cody and Revere play hard and compete
The big difference nowadays is the money. It's not cheap to go to a Phillies game anymore. I have lower level outfield tickets for Opening Day. They were $50 a piece. I have a partial plan and they have raised the price of my ticket $6 per seat over the past 4 years. It was also painful last year that my tickets in my section were available for half the price on Stubhub.
But I actually enjoyed the games a lot last year. Shorter lines for everything. And the people sitting in the seats near me were actually baseball fans.
I grew up going to games at the Vet when tickets were $5 or came in a Phillies Franks package. And the Phillies were bottom 5 in payroll. They have the 3rd highest payroll in MLB, and most projections have them for 3rd place in the division. They can't score a run though. Pitching and defense look good. But the offense is a huge question mark.
I have missed Opening Day once since 1991, and that's because I was in Japan. I remember it was always the best game of the year because it was often the closest the Phillies came to first place all season. I can still remember exactly where I saw for Opening Day in 1993. I have seen miracles happen before.
Hey everybody – coolaid flowing yet? Taste best early on!
Let me start out by addressing one of Pat's opening remarks:
" Do you trust Nieves as a full-time starter if Ruiz gets the injury bug?"
When you say if, do you mean there is a chance he might play in more than 130 games for only the second time in his now 8th big league season? Ruiz has played in 120 or more games only 2 times, he is out every year with some kind of "bug", lets be real about it.
Do I trust Nieves more than say some of the other Putz's that have filled in with a .200 or so average over the years? Why not?
I too was at Fridays game and although I did not see the phanatic playing with the dogs (I'm sure I was out and about with my scouts getting ice cream, cotton candy and the sort) I did see some very familiar sights – a ton of first pitch swinging, Howard not able to get the ball on the left side of the if or outfield, Jimmy pop-up made an appearance – yeap, even Marlon Byrd got the bird from me – he needs to learn the home town fences… Kendrick humming that fast ball in there at a blazing 88-89 mph –
Parking is up, my tickets are up, the beer is up, the crab fries are up – when I first started with the season package, tickets were $22 a piece in right field – now some of the games are $29, some are $34 and some are $39.. hey, I just bought a few more for the Utley bblhd game on June 10th, right field at $43 a piece.
This season is quite the make or break. Howard, Utley, Rollins, Ruiz all need to have statistically decent seasons along with the pitching being somewhat stablized for there to be any kind of good feeling around the CBP once again. Personally, I feel they can do it. Yep, the coolaid tastes pretty good about now.
What bench? Ha, ha, ha. Those names are laughable.

Lidge Is Back; Here Come The Mets
The Phillies closer, Brad Lidge, has been activated off the disabled list for tonight's match-up with the rival New York Mets. The question is, will Lidge's return be a good thing or a bad thing for the Phillies? Lidge had a very bad 2009 and the off-season avalanche of injuries does not breed confidence. However, can things get much worse for this bullpen? Probably not.
In that case, Lidge's return should be a good thing. He swears he is 100% and totally pain free. We would all love to believe this. Hopefully, he will come out tossing lightning bolts and put any doubts to rest. Left-hander Antonio Bastardo has been optioned to AAA to make room on the roster.
So tonight begins a 3-game set with the Mets and my faithful readers, you know what that means: J-Roll Smurf is back! And he has brought his special voodoo Smurf magic with him to beat the Mets. Although the real J-Roll is still on the disabled list, he is with us in spirit. And J-Roll Smurf, with a little help from his friends, is promising a win tonight! Well, that is unless of course Kyle Kendrick bombs and crushes J-Roll Smurf's poor, helpless little soul. Please Mr. Kendrick, have pity on J-Roll Smurf; after all, he is only 3-apples tall.
Speaking of small, fluffy critters, Chase and Jen Utley held their annual "Utley's All-Star Animals" event last night. Over 450 people attended the casino-theme night with all proceeds to benefit the PSPCA. And for the 3rd year in a row, it appears again that my invitation must have been lost in the mail. Because everyone knows what a huge animal activist I am, so how could they possibly forget me? Damn those mailmen! Leave it the US government to ruin my day. Oh well, maybe next year…
Game time tonight is 7:05pm…Go Phillies!

no matter what, your bllpen is probably in better shape than ours.
So you can only go to the Utley event if you have an invitation? I would think that it would be that if you pay a fee, well you gt tickets.
WooHooo! This weekend should be a gas. We both have our injury issues. If I didn't have a wedding this weekend I would be there! Next time for sure. Have fun this weekend watching but can't say that I wish you luck. ; )
…but good luck anyway. I'm such a softee and because I know you have a sarcastic streak in you also…I hope my extension of kindness doesn't come back to haunt me! (laughing as i type) Although I am prepared for a real zinger.
Emma – That's what I thought…would make more sense, right? But it is invitation only to keep it to "exclusive" company since basically the entire team is there. Sucks.
Mike – I would never throw a kindness back in your face…although, if the Mets keep smacking us around like this, I may rethink that. I kid…but still, watch your back. ;o) LOL Seriously, thanks…And in the spirit of good sportsmanship and a mutal love of baseball, good luck to you as well! :O)

So youre hacking now too?ReplyCancel
One: password. It's so simple!ReplyCancel
I have a better question (to me anyways because I must know what others do in this situation)
When someone sneezes like 5 times in a row, do you say bless you after every sneeze or do you wait until the fit is over and give that person one big bless you?
I want a bless you after every sneeze! Yes, I am the sneezer in this scenario.ReplyCancel
Bless you, @Sugar! I tend to say it every time, but after 3 or 4, it gets a little ridiculous. But if you want me to say it every time, I will, boo!ReplyCancel
I have to change my password every three months for multiple info management systems at my workplace. It's frickin infuriating!
I have at least 60,000 passwords
(OK maybe 10-15, but still….it stinks)
My family is full of multi-sneezers during hayfever season. One "Bless You" per episode, not per sneeze. I couldn't keep up.ReplyCancel
Dude! I'm not sneezing all over everything or right in anyone's face! I sneeze delicately into a napkin or my elbow! Plus, I think I'm just allergic to coffee or something because I do this little routine ever freaking morning. My husband doesn't love it. Sorry for the boring TMI!
See if I ever bless you after you sneeze, FSP…..
By the way, what's in the oven?
Password/site not sneeze.
For that one it depends on how close together they are. If they're really quick you don't usually have time to get all the 'bless you's in. Usually I get the first one in just as the second and third are coming out. Then I throw up my hands and just wait for it to be over. After I'm (fairly) sure they're done, I say it again and point out that they are obviously allergic to work and should go home.ReplyCancel
I have a bunch
But I can hardly remember them all – its frustrating, especially the sites that make you add a capital letter, a number and a symbol

And I tend to say bless you after each individual sneeze, but thats me 🙂ReplyCancel
I have work and personal passwords. Some require caps and lower case as well as numbers/characters. Some have to be shared with employees. Some have to be changed every 90 days. I finally started a word file to track them all! and yes that has to be password protected too.ReplyCancel
Sadly, no one ever takes me up on it. Not even when I'm actually in charge for the day and I say "Okay, all the supervisors are gone, everyone go home!" They all laugh and stay right where they are. Don't they know I can't sneak out until they're all gone?ReplyCancel

I have two passwords but 11 various forms of them because of the "upper case/lower case, numbers, at least 6 characters, at least 8 characters, one must be a special character, but you can't use this special character, that password is not strong enough" rules.ReplyCancel
@Sugar I usually say bless you after every sneeze and I have more than 15+ passwords.. Some that I have to random changeReplyCancel
I keep all my login info in an old Day Runner binder that I used to use for my contacts prior to computers. It is a pain to go to the safe, get it out just to look up login info for one sight. Then, my wife suggested I keep it in a hidden file on the computer. Now, I have to go get the day runner just to look up the name of the file the login info is in. Sigh!ReplyCancel
When people multiple sneeze I find it annoying and tell them to blow their nose because they must have something stuck in there causing a problem.
I work with someone who likes to sneeze very loudly. I think it's attention-whoring.
Apparently I am very judge-y on sneezers
One password that is so divorced from reality that no one would ever guess it: hunglikefassbenderReplyCancel
I got so disgusted with all the 90-day password changes on multiple systems, & I hate the company I work for with a passion, so my passwords on all are a uniform: YouSuck121! I started w/121 and every 90-days I reset. I'm up to: YouSuck131! now. I've never had to call IT to re-set passwords since I started this system.ReplyCancel
LOL FireFighter and Yoj.
I have over 25 passwords. Amazingly I remember them all.
I hate when you're going to log into somewhere and it won't take the correct password so you end up having to change it. I think well I'll use the password I had for it and it says "You cannot use your last password". Apparently some systems get a little offended by the passwords you choose and just make you change it because!ReplyCancel
@Yoj: LOL! If I was built in a lab, I wish them pricks woulda put a bigger pecker on me.

As someone who does extremely high-end tech security work some of the time, you people make my ass tired. The worst thing you can do is write down a password, no matter how well you hide it physically. A blackhat pro will find your squirreled-away pwd's within 15 minutes of breaching your site.
Use one medium-secure (8 chars, caps & numeral, letter-wrong familiar string) password for non-financial accounts–do you really care if someone hacks your Facebook account?–and one highly-secure (8-12 chars, caps & numerals & punctuation, completely random string) password for your CC and bank accounts. Never write down the latter. That's the hard part, memorizing a string of complete gibberish and not forgetting it. But if you do that, you'll be more secure than 99% of the population.
BTW, 99.9999% of you are currently using systems that could be hacked by a moderately-skilled pro in minutes. Encrypt your boot drives with that high-security password, follow a few common sense security rules and you'll be reasonably invulnerable.ReplyCancel
I recently had to answer security questions for a forgotten password and needed three guesses to remember name of Best Friend.
In my defence, I'm not a 13-year-old girl, so…
On the sneezing, I'd bless them all, though the last would probably be "bloody hell, bless you!"ReplyCancel
I only have one cat so there's your answerReplyCancel
I use LastPass – software vault that holds all your passwords. You only have to remember the password for Lastpass and it can automatically log you in to your sites.
and its free.ReplyCancel
With all the corporate hacking going on, it almost* makes you wonder why we should have a great password. That Heartbleed vulnerability from earlier this year hit so many major websites. It would grab huge blocks of data, and if your info was in the part they grabbed, anything you entered into that site was there for the taking.
*Almost. Still keep good passwords, though!ReplyCancel

School budget passes 2nd timeMay 01,2013MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS — By a 158 to 130 vote, residents approved a budget for the Middletown Springs School District.
Voters approved a budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14, an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
"It was a much larger difference than I was expecting, but it really shows the community support we have for the school," said Kendra Larson, vice-chairwoman of the Middletown Springs School Board.
It was the second trip to the polls for Middletown Springs voters, who, on Town Meeting Day, defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2-percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the town's common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

How do I apply for financial aid at Loyola University Maryland?
The application procedures are available on our web site, www.loyola.edu/financialaid, under "Quick Links." Loyola requires all financial aid applicants to file both the CSS PROFILE and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
What are Loyola University's school codes for FAFSA and CSS Profile?
Our FAFSA school code is 002078.
Our CSS school code is 5370.
I probably don't qualify for aid. Should I apply for aid anyway?
Yes! Many families mistakenly assume they don't qualify for aid and prevent themselves from receiving assistance by failing to apply. We recommend that you apply and allow us to determine your eligibility. If you are not eligible, we will provide you with information on the sources of aid that are available regardless of need.
What are the financial aid application deadlines?
First Year and Transfer applicants must submit their application for financial aid no later than February 15. Continuing students must submit their application for financial aid no later than April15. Maryland residents must file the FAFSA by March 1 to be considered for Maryland state aid programs.
What if I miss the deadline?
We encourage you to still complete the application process. However, priority awarding of institutional need-based aid is given to students who meet Loyola's filing deadline.
Is it necessary to file for financial aid each year?
Eligibility for all forms of need-based institutional and federal forms of aid is determined based upon an annual revue of the information submitted on the College Scholarship Service PROFILE Application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), Annual changes in family income, assets, family size, and the number of dependent children enrolled in college will affect the annual expected family contribution toward educational expenses.
How will I be notified of my financial aid award?
First year and Transfer applicants will receive an award notification via regular mail that identifies the types and amount of financial aid for which they are eligible. First Year and Transfer students are also notified via regular mail of revisions made to the financial aid package based on receipt of outside scholarships, change in enrollment or housing status, or changes required as a result of the verification process. Once a student is enrolled, award notifications or revisions will be sent to the student's Loyola email account. Continuing students will be sent an email notification to their Loyola email account. The email will direct you to view your financial aid award in the Financial Aid section of WebAdvisor.
When will I be notified of my financial aid award?
First Year applicants who meet the filing application deadlines and are admitted under the Early Action Program will be notified no later than March 15. Regular Decision applicants will be notified no later than April 10. Transfer applicants who meet the application filing deadline will be notified based on the date they are admitted to the University. Continuing student who meet the application filing deadlines will be notified no later than June 15.
I have a sibling who is also enrolled in college. Will this have an impact on my eligibility for financial aid?
For families with two or more children attending four-year private or public colleges, the parent contribution is assessed at 60 percent for each child if two children are enrolled and 45 percent for each child if three children are enrolled. There is no adjustment in the parent contribution when parents are enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, for children enrolled in graduate school, or for children enrolled part-time in an undergraduate program. Parents should expect a significant increase in their expected contribution when a dependent child graduates or is no longer enrolled in an undergraduate program.
Do I have to wait until my parents file their federal tax return before I complete the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE?
No, but you should wait until you and/or your parents know what income they will be reporting on their federal tax return. You could determine this after W-2 forms are received or other records are available. The online versions of the FAFSA and PROFILE provide instructions and worksheets to help you determine the entries for the income and asset questions. Both forms contain line references to federal tax returns. However, these entries may be estimated if necessary in order for you to comply with our deadline. Estimated figures can be updated and corrected once your applications have been submitted and processed.
What is the difference between merit and need-based financial aid?
Merit scholarships are strictly based upon academic achievement: the family's financial circumstances are not a factor when determining eligibility for merit aid. Determination of eligibility for all merit-based scholarships is made by the Office of Admission. Eligibility for need-based aid is determined based on an evaluation of family financial strength using the information provided on the CSS PROFILE and FAFSA.
Do I have to complete the FAFSA or CSS Profile in order to be considered for merit-based aid?
No, since the eligibility for merit-based scholarships is determined based only on the strength of the student's high school academic record. However, we recommend that all applicants complete the CSS PROFILE and FAFSA to be assured that you are considered for all sources of need-based aid for which you may qualify.
Do I need to be admitted before I can apply for financial aid?
No. Applicants for admission should submit the CSS PROFILE and FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible but no later than February 15, Loyola's financial aid application deadline.
Can I transfer my aid from another school to Loyola University?
Most financial aid awards cannot be transferred from one institution to another. If you are planning to transfer to Loyola from another institution, you must make sure that the results of your FAFSA and CSS PROFILE are sent to Loyola by our published application deadline. If you are a Maryland state resident and have been awarded a state scholarship or grant, you must contact the Maryland Higher Education Commission to have the aid transferred.
Are work-study earnings applied to my bill?
Federal Work Study (FWS) is a need-based federal student aid program that allows students the opportunity to earn funds throughout the academic year to support a portion of their educationally related expenses. Most students work from 10-15 hours per week. Students are paid on a bi-weekly basis for the number of hours worked. FWS earnings may not be applied as a credit on the student's bill.
I was not awarded or eligible to participate in the Federal Work- Study Program. Can I still work on campus?
Federal Work-Study eligible students are given highest priority for the student worker positions on campus.
What happens to my financial aid if I move off-campus?
Your "cost of attendance" or student expense budget is determined based on your housing status, (living on-campus, off-campus, or with parents). The off-campus budget is lower than the on-campus budget. Therefore, your aid eligibility will be adjusted accordingly.
How are privately-funded scholarships treated as part of my financial aid package?
Our goal is to incorporate privately-funded awards or awards from other outside sources in a student's financial aid package as favorably as possible. These awards are added to meet any unmet need first and then substituted for self-help forms of financial aid (excluding Federal Direct Stafford Loan funds) before adjusting institutional grant assistance. Additionally, the awards are applied evenly to the students account between the fall and spring semesters unless otherwise specified by the donor.
Is financial aid available to cover summer courses?
Institutional funds are not available for use during the summer term. Loan assistance through the Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) Program or private alternative education loan programs may be used for summer course expenses.
What happens to my financial aid if I study abroad?
If the study abroad program is a Loyola sponsored program or a Loyola exchange program, the student is eligible for all forms of federal, state, institutional, and private sources of aid except Federal Work-Study. Students studying abroad for a semester or full academic year will forfeit the value of a Federal Work-Study award.
If the study abroad program is an affiliation or host program, the student's aid is limited to Federal Direct Stafford Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized), Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, and most forms of state grant/scholarship assistance. Institutionally controlled forms of financial aid including academic scholarships, athletic grants, need-based grants, Federal Perkins loans, Federal Supplemental Grants, and Federal Work-Study are forfeited and may not be used to assist with educational expenses incurred for these study abroad programs. Privately funded scholarships and grants may be used only with written permission of the organization or donor sponsoring the award.
What if I have special or unusual financial circumstances?
Families who suffer significant losses of income due to temporary or long term loss of employment or the death of a wage earner, or families who incur significant medical expenses not covered by insurance may appeal for a mid-academic year review of the financial aid decision. In these unusual situations, Loyola University will use "current year" income rather than the "prior year" income to determine a change in financial aid eligibility. All requests for a mid-academic year review must be made in writing.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say I loved this one. Tony's vocals feel really solid. The guitar could have been mixed better. For those disappointed, I think they may have just put this one out to have a catchy single and the rest of the album should have songs with more depth.

QUOTE (DMS @ Dec 18 2009, 04:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
jamescolin, you've been watching too many Bronson films mate.
Talking from practical experience. You either have a perpetual patrol or you pay one of the local hooligans to protect it for you. It doesn't have to be much. In my time in the army the chief troublemaker or non conformist was the guy who got a stripe. Then you saw a change of attitude. Get one of them on your side make him feel important and see the results. If anybody has a better idea then lets hear it.

Ladies, Who's Ready For Another Six-pack??
♫ I like big butts and I cannot lie… ♫
Big butts, little butts, and all the butts in between (but not the really flat, Tim Lincecum-type butts).
Since one six-pack is never enough, here's another to tease your brain and delight your eyeballs. Try to stop drooling long enough to leave your best guesses in the comments.🙂
Panama butt
Evergreen state butt
butt of the past
butt of the phuture
a really nice butt whose owner doesn't seem to have any nicknames that I can find
an obvious butt🙂
The first person to identify all six butts correctly gets, well, nothing, except the satisfaction of knowing that you really know your butts!
(all photos by me)

You are too funny! Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I am singing "I like big buts and I cannot lie…"
Butt of the past is it Jayson Werth?
Emma – yes, butt #3 is indeed Jayson Werth. Though it's probably totally sexist, "Baby's Got Back" is one of my favorite songs – it's so catchy!
Jane – yep, that is Ruiz. Oddly, you're not the first person to guess #2 is Halladay. He's from Colorado, which is not the Evergreen state; Washington is. The butt's owner wasn't actually born there, but grew up there, so maybe the caption is a bit misleading.
Sorry, Sue, but I don't know Phillies butts as well as you do since I'm not a fan. LOL. Even so, from your captions I'll make a couple of guesses. Panama butt is Ruiz (if that's the catcher's name) and Evergreen state butt is Halladay.
So my butt-dar may be rusty in the off-season but here goes: Ruiz, Halladay, Werth, Brown, Ibanez, Phanatic. Not sure about a few of those though. Either way, it was very entertaining as always…LOL
Jenn – yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes – tough one there, that last one😉
I should have specified there aren't any repeats from the first time. Not sure why, but you're not the first person to say Halladay for #2. He's from Colorado, which is not the Evergreen state.
Good job getting Ibanez, I thought he'd be a stumper, since I couldn't think of any clever clues for him.
Would you like to take another crack at Butt #2, or should I tell you who it is?? crack, butt – ooh, that's a bad pun.
Aack! OK, so not "born in", but definitely grew up there. And really, the arm hair?? Never really noticed that about him before. It is a really nice butt, though.🙂
The only Phillies I know of that were born in Washington were LC, Eaton and Jenkins…can' t think of anyone still on the roster. So I am stumped!
As for Ibanez, the arm hair gave it away…that is one hairy dude…LOL
I had to return to your blog to see Sir Mix-a-Lot start it off. (lol)
Those are the wrong butss for me…I like them smothered in BBQ saw and taken right off Porky the Pig himself.
But, that was a great Spring pick-me-up for the female baseball fan who has spent all Winter looking at men in big bulky Winter coats becuase of the unseasonal snowfall and cold chilly weather.
But Clearwater is sunny today, with temps in the 60's and hot wings and cold adult beverages on the horizon….plus a few pulled pork sandwiches…in honor of the…butt.

In 1967, while a student at the University of California, Berkeley, Stephen Shames met Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale at an antiwar demonstration in San Francisco and began photographing the Panthers. This self-assigned project continued for the next six years, ending in 1973, after Bobby Seales unsuccessful mayoral run in Oakland. Embraced by the organization, Shames was allowed unprecedented access, thus enabling him to capture not only its public facestreet demonstrations, protests, and militant posturingbut also unscripted behind-the-scenes moments, from private party meetings to Bobby Seale in prison. Through his prolific output, Shames amassed an impressive archive of images, most of which have never been seen. Those that have been published appeared in the Black Panther, the partys own newspaper, and a few other publications. For an organization that often suffered as a result of their portrayal through images, Shamess photographs offer a nuanced portrait of this complex and often misunderstood group that helped define the turbulent 1960s.
Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party, in 1966, in Oakland, California. The organizations ten-point platform and program (What We Want, What We Believe) called for the immediate end to institutionalized racism and expressed the urgent need to address the material conditions of the black community. Employment, health care, housing, education, exploitation, and police brutality were issues with which other civil rights organizations of the time were grappling. The Panthers, however, also asserted their right to self-defense, to legally carry weapons. This decision would come to define them, as would their patrols of the police and their extensive community outreach programs, most famously the Free Breakfast for Children Program. By helping to define the black power movement, demanding equality, respect, dignity, and empowerment for black communities across America and oppressed peoples throughout the world, the Black Panthers proved to be pivotal to the Civil Rights movement.
Aperture, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, has organized this traveling exhibition and produced the accompanying publications. This Aperture exhibition is a variation of the original exhibit organized at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The Haggerty presentation of this exhibition and related programs are made possible through funding by the Martha Smith Endowment Fund, the Stackner Family Endowment Fund and the Joan Pick Endowment Fund.
