January 9, 2013 —
There is a split in the Sullivan County Legislature, but it doesn't run along party lines. Instead, it pits four legislators who want county manager David Fanslau to remain in office for at least the next two years, against five legislators who want him to leave.
At a news conference at the government center on January 3, legislator Jonathan Rouis, the former legislative chair, called for the establishment of a charter revision committee to study the notion of changing the county government to one that would have a county executive, as is the case in Orange and Ulster counties.
In a reference to recent turmoil at the government center, Rouis said, "While I believe that on some level all my colleagues have the best interests of Sullivan County at heart, our current governmental structure has hampered our ability to make meaningful change and move the county forward for the betterment of the residents. Members of our legislature have become bogged down with managing staff and personal agendas, and are unable to focus the best of their efforts on policies that will move our county forward economically so that our residents can prosper."
Rouis said he was not interested in becoming the county executive. He said the process of making the change would take at least two years and, in the meantime, he proposed that county manager David Fanslau be offered a new contract through the end of 2014.
But Fanslau's tenure at the helm of the government has become the subject of much debate recently, and after Rouis' remarks, five members of the legislature, a bipartisan coalition, each took to the podium and addressed the issue.
Alan Sorensen said that five members of the legislature had decided back in July that there needed to be a change in the county manager's office. Sorensen said he was not necessarily opposed to investigating a change to a county executive form of government, but the issue of the current county manager needed to be addressed soon.
The county manager's first term of office ended on December 31, 2012, but his agreement, or contract with the county, runs through the end of 2014. In 2007, the county charter was changed to require that six of nine legislative votes are needed to remove a county manager from office, but because legislators did not vote to grant Fanslau a new term of employment last July, there are disagreements as to whether his employment with the county can be ended by a simple majority.
Sorensen said that because county attorney Sam Yasger represents the legislature and the county manager, the five legislators want to retain outside legal counsel. The other legislators said they supported the idea of outside legal representation for this matter. This, they said, would avoid putting Yasgur into a conflict situation.
Legislator Cora Edwards said that county residents would have to decide whether there would be a switch to a county executive form of government, though it's not certain at this point if the matter has enough traction to get that far.
The other lawmakers who supported a change in the county manager's office were Kitty Vetter, Cindy Gieger and Gene Benson.

Description of Ambato
Ambato is the provincial capital of Tungurahua Province.
History of Ambato
Ambato is a very busy city. Ambato has street markets. I believe each Monday Ambato has its largest street market. This is the time when you should buy all of your goods when you are able to carry everything you have purchased.
Potential Community Projects
Many communities outside Ambato need assistance with water. Clean water needs to be brought into communities and modern sewage systems need to be installed so waste water can leave many communities.
Presence of NGOs
Buses are a major form of transportation in Ambato.
The August climate can be very cool during the night. Remember to purchase blankets from the street vendors in Ambato so you will remain warm during the August nights.

Cannons Spoil Outlaws' Record-Setting Crowd
from press release
Boston Cannons midfielder Brad Ross receives congratulations after scoring a goal Sunday in a 15-12 win over the Denver Outlaws before 27,184 fans at Invesco Field.
© Marc Piscotty
The Denver Outlaws set a professional lacrosse attendance record on Sunday night as 27,184 people came to Invesco Field at Mile High to see the annual fireworks game, shattering the previous record of 23,433 set on July 4, 2010.
Despite the rabid crowd, the Outlaws fell 15-12 to the Boston Cannons, dropping their second home game this season and falling to 4-2 all time on fireworks games.
The Cannons (6-1) now sit atop of the MLL standings going into All-Star weekend, edging the Outlaws (5-2), who were tied in first place entering the game.
Boston finished the game on an 8-1 run, evening the season series with Denver and winning its fifth consecutive game. The Outlaws handed the Cannons their only loss of the season on May 21, when they walked away with a 13-12 victory in Boston.
"I think we self-destructed in the fourth quarter," Head Coach Tom Slate said. "Boston got the better of us tonight, but we've got to keep pushing forward."
In the first half, Denver erased an early 3-0 deficit, using a 7-0 run to go ahead four goals going into halftime.
Boston responded in the second half, recording two early goals in the third quarter to make it 7-5.
Max Seibald halted Boston's momentum when he scored his second two-point goal of the game with 11:25 to play in the third quarter, his third two-point goal in two games.
Moments later, Bill McGlone scored his second unassisted goal of the evening as the Outlaws took their biggest lead of the night, midway through the third quarter.
The Cannons again went on a two-goal run as Brian Farrell and Matthew Smalley each added a goal, cutting the lead to 10-7.
After a Denver goal, Boston's Paul Rabil scored his own two-point goal when he whipped the ball past his former Johns Hopkins teammate Jesse Schwartzman to make the contest 11-9 with one quarter remaining.
Early in the fourth quarter, Boston's Max Quinzani scored off of a rebounded shot, trimming the lead to one. Seconds later, Quinzani evened the score with a power-play goal thanks to a nice assist from Ryan Boyle.
Rabil continued his big night, scoring for the third time in the contest and putting the Cannons up 12-11 with under ten minutes to play. He finished with six points on four goals and two assists and was named player of the game.
Boston's Brad Ross recorded his second goal of the night, completing a 6-0 run that put the Cannons up 13-11 with six minutes to play.
McGlone completed his hat trick, scoring seconds after Ross to cut the lead to 13-12. Ross completed his own hat trick with 2:41 remaining, putting Boston up 14-12.
With exactly two minutes left to play, Boston's Matt Poskay added his second goal to give the Cannons a three-goal lead that they would not relinquish.
Ross, Poskay and Quinzani played crucial roles in the win; however, it was Rabil's night as he started the scoring early on when he notched his 16th goal of the season only 62 seconds into the contest.
The Cannons jumped ahead 2-0 when Ross squeezed a goal past Schwartzman with more than 10 minutes to play in the first quarter and continued to throttle the Denver defense when Ryan Boyle found Kevin Buchanan nine minutes later to put Boston ahead 3-0.
Denver struggled offensively too in the first quarter, committing several costly errors and forcing too many shots on Boston goalie Jordan Burke. Peet Poillon saved the Outlaws from being shut out when he triple pump-faked Burke to score his 13th goal of the season.
The late first quarter goal from Poillon changed the momentum of the game and proved to be the play of the game, propelling the Outlaws comeback.
He would go on to score his second unassisted goal less than two minutes into the second quarter. Bill McGlone tied the contest at 3-3 when he scored 25 seconds after Poillon.
Jarrett Park helped the Outlaws take the lead when he scored five minutes later on an assist from Kevin Unterstein.
Connor Martin made the highlight of the night, beating J.J. Morrissey to the goal and scoring on a beautiful trick shot behind the head to put Denver up 5-3 with two minutes until halftime.
Before the intermission, the Outlaws made the Cannons pay for an illegal hit on Eric Martin, when Seibald scored his first two-point on a power play goal off an assist from Drew Westervelt, which put Denver up 7-3 going into halftime.
Martin did not return in the contest.
The Outlaws are off next weekend as the 2011 MLL All-Star Game will be held in Boston's Harvard Stadium next Saturday. Seven Outlaws were named to the roster, which was tied for third in the league. The members of the Outlaws heading east next week include, Mundorf, Schwartzman, Eric Martin, Lee Zink, Westervelt, Seibald and Poillon.
The record attendance helps boost Denver's already league-leading average from 10,894 to 14,967 in four home games this season, creating a home field advantage like no other in the league. Unfortunately, the Cannons know how to handle the big July crowds in Denver, as they are the only team to defeat the Outlaws in their annual July 4th game. In 2009, the Cannons walked away with a 17-16 win at Denver.
The rubber match of this season's series will be played on July 30 when the Cannons come to Denver once again.
Before the crucial rematch against the Cannons, the Outlaws will play two straight games against the struggling Rochester Rattlers.

20 is the new 17…
When does age not matter?
I guess it is when the Yankees sign a "prospect" who was suspended for claiming he was only 17 years old when he was actually 20. Eladio Moronta, a Dominican outfield prospect, was suspended earlier this year for the age discrepancy, but was reinstated on September 28th. He is 6'1″, 183 lbs, and has been compared to Raul Mondesi.
It is not clear how Moronta fits into the Yankees system, particularly with Austin Jackson nearly major league ready. But for a prospect who could have commanded a signing bonus in the millions, he was signed for only $570,000. I could live rather comfortably on $570K, but for the Yankees, that's a drop in the bucket. Let's hope the signing works out…
I have to admit that I am becoming a believer in Brett Favre. I was very skeptical when he finally signed with Minnesota Vikings after a season of 'is he retired? Is he not?'. I was ready to turn over the QB reins to Tavaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels. Of course, had that happened, there is absolutely no way that the Vikings would have been 9-1, with a 3-game lead on the Green Bay Packers.
Amos-Smith/Minnesota Vikings
Prior to Sunday, there was much talk about how that was the point in the season where Favre begin his fade with the New York Jets in 2008. So what did Brett do on Sunday? He threw for 4 TD passes and completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes as the Vikings defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 35-9. So, I guess in the Vikings case, age does not matter.
The Boston Red Sox named DeMarlo Hale as their new bench coach, replacing Brad Mills who was named as manager for the Houston Astros. As much as I hate to admit it, it was a good move. The Red Sox promoted AAA Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson who will become the new first base coach. Last year's first base coach, Tim Bogar, moves to third, replacing Hale. I have always admired Red Sox manager Terry Francona despite my dislike for anything-Red Sox. He showed once again that he is a master tactician. I think the Red Sox are building a great second or third place team for 2010! 😉
I kind of like the talk about the Yankees pursuing Florida ace Josh Johnson. I'd prefer that to signing free agent John Lackey, even if we have to give up quality talent in return. I think Josh as part of the trio with CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett would be the perfect formula for a 28th world championship. Admittedly, it wouldn't hurt to have Matt Holliday or Jason Bay in left field! J
Athlon Sports
Congrats to St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols and Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer for their respective MVP awards. They were both the obvious choices and I see a trip to Cooperstown, NY for both players. Why does Derek Jeter always lose to the Twins? At least the Yankees, as a team, don't share the same problem. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the Yankees won the World Series because of Jeter. He meant more to the team than Mauer would have. That doesn't mean that I think Jeter should have beaten Mauer for MVP (I don't), but for the Yankees, Jeter was the MVP.
David Bergman/SI
Okay, when do the free signings start?…

Love the comic at the end! I have to admit – I am very surprised at how well Brett Favre is doing this season. Watching him play for the Jets last season it is almost hard to believe that he is the same player! Vikings-Patriots Super Bowl? hmmmmm…;-) And the changes begin made in the Red Sox coaching staff will only make the team better. I like that we promote from within. No one knows the system better then those who have worked in it. I also like the reports this morning that the Red Sox are going aggressively against Doc Halladay. What a rotation we would have!
I'm a little wary of NL pitchers moving to the AL. I'm sure Johnson is good, but can he make the transition? I'd rather have Halladay! But I'm less keen on Holliday, speaking of NL versus AL. He's not great with the glove and it would be really refreshing to have someone with a good arm in left.
I'm surprised Miguel Cabrera, and not Jeter, got a first-place vote for MVP, especially since his drunken shenanigans likely cost his team the division. Obviously I think the right guy won, but there's no way Miggy was more valuable to his team than Jetes. Too bad we can't have a do-over of the 2006 MVP, since Jeter definitely deserved to win then (Morneau wasn't even the MVP of his own team, it was Mauer). Oh, well, I guess the Captain will just have to console himself with his 5 world series rings and likely first-ballot hall of fame induction :)Happy Thanksgiving, Scott! And go Vikes!-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
Scott, I am not so sure that anyone really knows anyone else's age in the Dominican. I'm not sure the documentation standards are up to par down there, so a player can tell his "agent" (such as they are down there) whatever age he chooses. I dunno…
If the Vikes are so high on Favre (and it seems they have reason to be, pending the season's second half), and age doesn't matter anymore, are they bringing back Alan Paige? Bud Grant? Hmmm…
Have a great Thanksgiving and happy holiday season, Scott. Take care.

Don't Move That Bullseye
One great thing about living in Chicago is being bombarded by the endless marketing ploys dished out by the often overlooked and under appreciated White Sox. With the grade-A inferiority complex harbored by many a Sox fan living in the shadows of an historically challenged Cubs franchise to the north, it's easy to see why the Southside brass does all it can to create a buzz for a team that — on paper — shouldn't need it considering how successful they've been in recent years.
I have gone on and on with my rhetorical blasts at the seemingly less baseball educated Northsiders — so much so that I have pretty much said all there is to say. But let me just add this:
You can squak about the 1919 squad throwing the series. You can jest that the Sox have a hard time filling their ballpark. You can overlook the Southside's '05 World Series championship all you want… but you have to admit one thing: the White Sox make some pretty damn good commercials.
Like this one:
And now that Quentin is out of the lineup, let's hope that Thome remembers his previous self…
…and let's hope they don't move that sign.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
6 Comments
Losing Quentin is a huge blow to the Sox, but there's still plenty of pop in that lineup. It's the erratic pitching staff that will probably doom the pale hose in the end.
The "pale hose"? Who says that? Anyone? And does anyone outside Chicago say "ChiSox"? No one in Boston refers to the team as the "BoSox."
Sorry, tangent.
Back to my little Bo- and Chi- rant. I meant to say, does anyone from Chicago say "ChiSox"?
OK, I'm done now. Honest.
Hiya, Steve. No, no one in the Chi calls them the ChiSox. We just call them: "Da Sox". We don't even say "White". Just "Da Sox." That's all you need to say. I think my grand dad used to say "pale horse" but of course, he's dead now. RIP.
Good info. Lucky me I ran across your blog by chance (stumbleupon).
I've book-marked it for later!
Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your

Their time to shine
January 29, 2014 —
West Point, NY — You simply had to be there to feel the exuberant joy as the Sullivan West girls indoor track upset Tri-Valley to become OCIAA Division V champions. It was the Lady Bulldogs' first indoor win over the Lady Bears since 2009, a year in which the Westies were 21-0 and went on to win the school's only girls Section Nine Indoor Track title. This team was too young back then to be a part of that glory. But this was their time with their plaque held aloft as they took their victory lap around the track at West Point's Gillis Field House. Their shrieks of joy were an appropriate coda to a two-day marathon division collision with their nemesis. Given the surfeit of youth on coach Joe Seidl's feisty team, this victory may be a harbinger of more bright things to come in the not-too-distant future.
Division V is also the bailiwick of Eldred, which took third in the girls meet, accruing 84 points. Sullivan West bested T-V 159-149 in the meet that seesawed back and forth. SW eighth-grader Stephanie Schwab won the high jump (4-8), took third in the triple jump and fourth in the 55 hurdles accruing 20 points. Fellow eighth-grader Maggie Keller won the triple jump (26-09.75). She was fourth in the 1,000. Sullivan West won the 4x400 relay and took second in the 4x200 relay to Pine Plains. SW junior Kelsey Dutton took second in the 1,500 (5:33.83), in the 3,000 (11:53.56) and third in the 1,000, accruing 22 points in the cause. Senior Allison Wactor won the long jump and ran a leg in the 4x200 relay. Sophomore Rosa Martinez took second in the 600 and ran a leg in the winning 4x400 relay. Tri-Valley's big winner was senior Alex Brooks (26 points). She claimed the 1,000 (3:29.24), took second in the triple jump and was second in the 300, which was won by Eldred sophomore Sarah Malzahn (47.24). Malzahn also claimed the 600 (1:55.24). Eldred eighth-grader Kayla Maas won the 1,500 (5:25.24), the 3,000 (11:59.24) and the pole vault (7-0) for a whopping 30 points. Tri-Valley got a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,500 racewalk with Brook Gillette, Mary Alongi and Jessica Hussey. SW's Autumn Thiele was fourth. T-V's 24-4 point surge in that event put them temporarily in the lead, but SW's response with the pole vault, 300 and triple jump proved to be the difference. T-V's Claire Tierney won the shot put (29-11.5).

In the one mile of beach that was cleaned, the volunteers collected 325 pounds of refuse.
Dwight Mutschler of Austwell has coordinated the cleanup for 28 years, two years before the General Land Office began the state's program.
"We had a family of 4 came all the way from Victoria to help," Mutschler said. "The turnout for the fall cleanup was better than the one in the spring."
Across the state, approximately 9,316 volunteers pitched in for the Fall Cleanup. The volunteers removed 153 tons of trash from 29 sites, including Austwell, along 186 miles of Texas coast.
"The turnout this year was amazing," said Jerry Patterson, Texas Land Commissioner. "We have expanded our social media efforts reaching out through Facebook and other online media to reach people who really care about the Texas coast and who want to help keep it clean, and it seems to be working."
Volunteers reported finding a wide variety of odd items among the usual cigarette butts, plastic caps and lids, including a mixture of car parts, an intravenous fluid bag, a urinal, a crack pipe, a toilet, a dollar bill and a vial of blood.
A few items from Mexico were reported including soda and detergent bottles and also a "Bievenidos a Mexico" sign found at the Padre Island National Seashore.
Since 1986, more than 439,000 Adopt-A-Beach volunteers have picked up more than 8,400 tons of trash from Texas beaches, some of it originating from as far away as Asia.
Volunteers record data on the trash to learn more about the causes of marine debris and to help mitigate pollution along Texas' 367 miles of coastline.
The next coastwide cleanup will be the Spring Adopt-A-Beach effort scheduled for Saturday, April 20, 2013.
Coastal cleanups are held three times each year and the program's success is due to the hard work of volunteers, including local coordinators who work many unpaid hours.

Butter is OK after allMarch 27,2014Julia Child, goddess of fat, is beaming somewhere. Butter is back,
and when youre looking for a few chunks of pork for a stew, you can resume
searching for the best pieces the ones with the most fat. Eventually, your friends will stop glaring at you as if youre trying to kill them.
That the worm is turning became increasingly evident a couple of weeks ago, when a meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine found that theres just no evidence to support the notion that saturated fat increases the risk of heart disease. (In fact, theres some evidence that a lack of saturated fat may be damaging.) The researchers looked at 72 different studies and, as usual, said more work including more clinical studies is needed. For sure. But the days of skinless chicken breasts and tubs of I Cant Believe Its Not Butter! may finally be drawing to a close.
The tip of this iceberg has been visible for years, and were finally beginning to see the base. Of course, no study is perfect and few are definitive. But the real villains in our diet sugar and ultra-processed foods are becoming increasingly apparent. You can go back to eating butter, if you havent already.
This doesnt mean you abandon fruit for beef and cheese; you just abandon fake food for real food, and in that category of real food you can include good meat and dairy. I would argue, however, that you might not include most industrially produced animal products; stand by.
Since the 1970s almost everyone in this country has been subjected to a barrage of propaganda about saturated fat. It was bad for you; it would kill you. Never mind that much of the nonsaturated fat was in the form of trans fats, now demonstrated to be harmful. Never mind that many polyunsaturated fats are chemically extracted oils that may also, in the long run, be shown to be problematic.
Never mind, too, that the industrys idea of low fat became the emblematic SnackWells and other highly processed low-fat carbs (a substitution that is probably the single most important factor in our overweight/obesity problem), as well as reduced fat and even fat-free dairy, on which it made billions of dollars. (How you could produce fat-free sour cream is something worth contemplating.)
But lets not cry over the chicharrones or even nicely buttered toast we passed up. And lets not think about the literally millions of people who are repelled by fat, not because it doesnt taste good (any chef will tell you that fat is flavor) but because they have been brainwashed.
Rather, lets try once again to pause and think for a moment about how it makes sense for us to eat, and in whose interest it is for us to eat hyper-processed junk. The most efficient summary might be to say eat real food and avoid anything that didnt exist 100 years ago.
You might consider a dried apricot (one ingredient) versus a Fruit Roll-Up (13 ingredients, numbers two, three and four of which are sugar or forms of added sugar). Or you might reflect that real yogurt has two or three ingredients (milk plus bacteria, with some jam or honey if you like) and that the number in Breyers YoCrunch Cookies n Cream Yogurt is unknowable (there are a few instances of and/or) but certainly at least 18.
Many things have gone awry with the way we produce food. And it isnt just the existence of junk food but the transformation of ingredients we could once take for granted or thought of as healthy. Indeed, meat, dairy, wheat and corn have become foods that frequently contain antibiotics and largely untested chemicals, or are produced using hybrids or methods that have increased yield but may have produced unwanted results.
Although the whole avoid saturated fat thing came about largely because regulators were too timid to recommend that we eat less meat, meat in itself isnt bad; its about quantity and quality. So at this juncture it would be natural for a person who does not read volumes of material about agriculture, diet and health to ask, If saturated fat isnt bad for me, why should I eat less meat?
The best current answer to that: Its possible to eat as much meat as we do only if its grown in ways that are damaging. Theyre damaging to our health and the environment (not to mention the tortured animals) for a variety of reasons, including rampant antibiotic use; the devotion of more than a third of our global cropland to feeding animals; and the resulting degradation of the environment from that crop and its unimaginable overuse of chemicals, soil and water.
Even if large quantities of industrially produced animal products were safe to eat, the environmental costs are demonstrable and huge. And so the argument eat less meat but eat better meat makes sense from every perspective. If you raise fewer animals, you can treat them more humanely and reduce their environmental impact. And we can enjoy the better butter, too.

New Court Decision Says Employers Cannot Recover Attorney's Fees from workers in Rest or Meal Break Lawsuits
Having recently decided how often employees are entitled to rest and meal breaks in a work day in Brinker Restaurant Corp., et al. v. Superior Court (April 12, 2012), the California Supreme Court, on April 30 issued another important ruling in Kirby v. Immoos Fire Protection, Inc., and re-emphasized that rest and meal period protections exist to protect the health and safety of workers.
The Court held that employers cannot recover attorney's fees from workers who go to court to enforce rest and meal break protections and lose (and employees cannot seek payment of their attorney's fees from the employer if they win). In other words, in these types of cases each party bears their own attorney's fees.
New California Supreme Court Decision
The American Rule, which requires all parties to bear their own fees is generally applicable unless a statute or specific agreement among the parties provides for fee shifting to the prevailing party. The Court in its decision upheld the American Rule as to meal and rest break claims, clarifying two sections of the Labor Code that seemed to be in conflict on this point.
This is a very important ruling for low-wage workers because as the Court noted, they are the "likeliest to suffer [rest and meal period] violations." Had the Court required workers to pay attorney's fees to employers for rest and meal break claims which were not successful it would have had a chilling effect on enforcement of these important protections by deterring many low-wage workers from asserting these claims pursuant to Labor Code section 226.7.
Ms. Y files a lawsuit directly in superior court alleging only meal and rest break violations. Although she wins her meal break claim, she loses her rest break claim. The employer cannot recover any of its attorney's fees, even though it "successfully defended" the rest break claim. Additionally, even though Ms. Y won her meal break claim, she cannot recover any fees from her employer.
Guidance for Workers
If California workers face rest or meal break violations, they are entitled to "premium pay" for working through their breaks: one hour of pay for each day a meal break was missed, and an additional one hour of pay for each day a rest break was missed. If workers bring a lawsuit against their employer in court and lose, they will not be required to pay their employer's attorney's fees (nor will they be able to claim fees). The Kirby decision does not affect workers who file and win their claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (Labor Commissioner), and whose employer subsequently appeals the decision to court.
If you have been denied adequate access to meal or rest breaks by your employer, you can contact your local offices of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. Those offices are listed on the LWDA and DLSE websites.
You can find free information about worker's rights on our website. If you have additional questions, please contact our Workers' Right Clinic at 415-864-8208 or toll-free at 866-864-8208.

This Is STILL Not Acceptable!
I seem to have been suffering from premature jubilation in my last post, when I got all happy just because the Phillies finally won a game. The next night, Roy Halladay went out and pitched a perfect game, which of course I'm really happy about, but he almost HAD to be perfect to get the win, because once again the anemic offense only scored one run.
Since then, the Phils have reverted to their dreadfully suckish, suckingly dreadful ways, with the offensive offense spiraling further and further down the drain of ineptitude into a stewing cesspool of baseball bullsh*t.
It's a good thing I've been too busy lately to sit down and write a full-blown rant, because it wouldn't be pretty. If I see one more inning-ending double-play, I may hurl something at my TV (or maybe just hurl).
After dropping the final game of the series to the Marlins, and then getting swept by the Braves, the Phillies are off tonight. Hallelujah, I'll celebrate that.
6 Comments
LOL… love the pic, day off then the weekend to make things right… very right… or drastic action will be needed….
Phillies Outside
ya knoww, i love the phils, but i just cant take it anymore. the pitching is the best shape this season, but the offense AND defense are very disappointing. cant waiit til tomorrows game. hopefully the day off gives them a little time to calm down and just get back on track. and byy the waay, did u see last nights blown call to kill the perfect gamee? what a shamee. they have instant replay for a reason, why dont they use it?
More Than Just an Average Phan
Sue, was that a pic of you as a little girl? LOL. I feel your rant and I'm glad you restrained yourself from hurling. I wish I knew why really good hitters go cold sometimes, but it happens and they'll get over it. You'll see.
Peter – Yes, drastic action. Very drastic.
Werthbabyyy – Early last season, it was the starting pitching that was atrocious. This year it's the hitting. If only they could get everything on track all at once! I did see the replay of that blown call. A real shame for Galarraga, but he's handled it with class so far. Good for him.
Jane – LOL, no that's not me.🙂 But I'm sure I had plenty of moments as a child where I bore a similar expression!
I have to admit…I really like the anger, Don't hold back. Say what you really feel! : D
Pssst? got a favorite player?…visit and do something about it. You'll see what I mean.

Consultant Urologists perform the following surgery at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital.
What is prostate enlargement or Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)?
It's common for the prostate gland to enlarge as men get older. The condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This is benign and there is no evidence that it leads to cancer. In some cases, it becomes large enough to put pressure on the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the penis). This can cause problems with urination, such as frequent trips to the toilet, including having to get up several times in the night, and dribbling of urine.
What treatments are available for BPH?
What is involved in prostate surgery?
Prostate surgery is an operation to remove some or most of an enlarged prostate gland so that urine can flow more freely. Prostate surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia, which means that you will be asleep during the procedure. However, for some men, epidural or spinal anaesthesia is preferable. This completely blocks the feeling in your pelvis and legs, but you will still be awake. Your surgeon and anaesthetist will discuss which type of anaesthesia is most suitable for you.
What is TURP?
A transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP for short, involves a thin, tube-like telescope called a resectoscope, which is put into the opening of your penis and passed up the urethra towards the prostate. An attachment at the end of the resectoscope is used to cut away part of the prostate using electrical energy. There are no stitches or dressings after this operation.
The operation lasts for about an hour. Afterwards, a catheter is inserted to allow urine to flow freely. This is a thin, sterile tube that is inserted through the urethra and into your bladder. TURP usually involves a hospital stay of up to five days. Your surgeon will explain the benefits and risks of having TURP and will also discuss the alternatives to the procedure.
TURP is a commonly performed and generally safe operation. However, all surgery carries risks as well as benefits. Most men find that a lasting side-effect of a TURP is dry orgasm (retrograde ejaculation), which happens because semen can travel back up into the bladder rather than out through the penis. This should not interfere with sex and after recovery from the operation, most men return to the same level of sexual activity as before the treatment. However, this may affect your ability to father children through sexual intercourse.
Rarely it is possible to have some long-term urinary incontinence or problems emptying your bladder, even after the initial recovery period. The chance of complications depends on the exact type of operation you are having and other factors, such as your general health. Ask your surgeon to explain how any risks apply to you.
What is laser prostate surgery?
Laser prostate surgery is a treatment using high powered laser energy (eg: HoLEP Holmium laser or GreenLight laser) to remove or enucleate obstructive prostatic tissue or vaporise tissue with the aim of leaving a wide channel and restoring normal urinary function. Under anaesthesia a small flexible fibre-optic is inserted into the urethra. Light pulses are then sent through this fibre, to cut away the obstructing prostatic tissue which is removed from the bladder with a morcellator. There is minimal bleeding or pain after the procedure.
The procedure takes around 60-90 minutes and is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. You may be allowed to return home on the same day, but sometimes an overnight stay will be required. You can generally be discharged once you are emptying your bladder satisfactorily.
Strenuous activity should be avoided for two weeks and patients generally return to work about five days after surgery.
What are the benefits of laser prostate surgery?
The two most widely reported benefits of laser surgery are reduced risk of bleeding (compared to TURP) and shorter hospital stay. Most patients can expect a rapid improvement in their urinary flow rate, and a quick return to normal activities following the procedure. Laser surgery is also associated with lower risks of sexual and other side-effects common with TURP.

Didn't there used to be a blog here?
A rather big one, in fact. That spanned seven years (four highly active years) and over 400 posts (including many guest posts).
So what happened?
When I stopped actively blogging at the end of 2012, it was for a large number of reasons, some personal, some professional, some blog related. But I stopped.
The hate filling my inbox didn't. Still hasn't, though it has, at least, slowed to a trickle.
So it's time for me to be done.
What of the content??, you ask. Well, very shortly (within the next day), most of the content created by me will be available as a series of ebooks, on the loose topics of Parenting, Body, and Kyriarchy. For those of you here for information on Gender Diverse Parenting, there will be a shorter ebooklet also available that collects just those writings into one place.
Edit: Gender Diverse Parenting: A Raising My Boychick Collection is now available in all ebook formats through Smashwords.
If anyone who has a guest post hosted on the site, or who followed a link to a particular post that isn't included in the ebooks, please contact me.
For those in and around Portland Oregon, I can be found helping people queer parenting, feel better in their bodies, and resist kyriarchy one massage at a time at Holding Space Massage.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

If naruto becomes hokage i think naruto manga will end then dear....
Bee might die, Guy will most likely open the eighth gate and die, Tsuande will die too and quite possibly kakashi but he will die the same time Obito does
Some of the guys at HQ
Some of the guys at the medic camp should have died when Zetsu infiltrated
At least like 5 main characters on the battlefield since their characters are gonna
be trashed soon anyways. What better way to go?
Every Kage except Gaara and 1 random (I dunno). At least Tsunade is done
Killer Bee
To be honest, the only one I see dying in this war in the end, it's Obito even if the others seem on the verge of their death.
Ten Ten... useless ******

How was she useless in the Kazekage rescue arc where she managed to hold it up against a clone of hers.
It's not that easy to fight a clone that does the same move you do.
Or in this war, how she managed to keep the bad guys down and did pretty well with the Fan from the Gold and Silver brothers?
She took down one of Kakuzu's masks.
I wouldn't call that useless...
Kakashi, Madara, Raikage (Hate this dude) and some of Konoha's 11 ohhh and Orochimaru should be one shotted for a third time.
Well some of the K11 to add realism out of them Maybee Kiba due to him baring the consequences of acting rashly or cocky. Ino as she has barely improved and it would be a shocked for Sakura. Tenten as she has been given no screen time, and it would be better thsn nothimg. Last Maybee Neji to show how even a strong K11 could die (unlikely though). Out of the main characters I only see Sakura being the only who might die...though it wouldn't be in the war. I do think Tsunade should die based on what she said....I mean aside from her having the dark under eyes or the fact that she is currently in two places at once without a clone :p.

and maybe Kakashi and Bee, and Sakura just to make it more interesting
I like Gai, because he is hilarious and strong, so for some reason I don't want him to go :D
Last edited by Uchihajin Sasuke; 11-18-2012 at 04:34 PM.
I want to see A, Oonok,tsunade die so new generation ninja can become kage...Gai because i know it will be epic...chojis dad just because more people have to die..That dude with one byagugan shizune because she has no purpose with out tsunade...Thats it some of them a good reasons others are just because some one has to take the fall lol..
It will be a huge rip off if naruto or sasuke die because all that work for sasuke to come back and he never does and also all that work for naruto to become hokage and he never does...This has been the very goal and to me the reason for the story

Yes i think kishi doesnt believe killing any of his good characters until he is cornered...

I m with u brother...and i also want sakura to be killed....

Not all of them dear...Only couple of them would be fine...and some of K11

4) Obito and madara
5) Bee and sasuke
Awesome sig!!!
Anyone dying in the war? Well, Obito, Madara and Oro once and for all please.
Onooki and Tsunade would be ok now I think. Please not Gaara and Mei!
From K11, no one should die. They are all young people and their time will still come. It's always sad when kids die in wars, really. Plus I don't like the fact they are all teenage soldiers that get wasted.

Naruto, that will make sense man.
Tsunade A Orochimaru Sasuke Madara
It's meant to be a war...Alot of deaths occur in a war. This war seems more like a gang-fight imo...
- Current Kages should of died. Maybe Ay surviving and going beserk after seeing bee die.
- 3-5 of K11.
- Kakashi or Gai
- Bee (maybe)
- Obito (expected this to happen. it is happening now...but he got killed as if he was a fodder...WTF)
- Orochimaru dying again.
- Juugo or Suigetsu dying.
- coupld of more i forgot. This war will probs be last and it should have a lasting effect. with loads of main characters dying epicly. not like how Obito died...More Asuma, Jiraiya or kakashi's death...
It would be cool for Sakura to die.

Santana Grip and Citi Keith placeholder
I've gotten so behind in posting, alas, and I've got a doozy of a post to do tomorrow showcasing all the heaps of fun and excitement we had at the GKR Mother's Day event at Citi Field–and there will be loads of special guests for you to see!
But for now, when your spirits might be dampened by our first loss in 9 games, I give you fun things to look at. First, Johan Santana's change up grip. A thing of beauty, right down to the manicured fingernails.
And then, enjoy some shots of Keith Hernandez broadcasting from around Citi Field, having a laugh and a grand old, security-detailed, I'm Keith Hernandezy time.
1 Comment
Hey Zoe, I wish you could help the team Pick Me Up so Runs for Johan.Awww, Keith looks like he's having so much fun. I'm really loving SNY feeds this year. I've tuned in to some of the other teams' broadcasts so far and, biased as I may be, the Mets have the best team in the business. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com

Ace. National League Championship Series most valuable player. World Series most valuable player. Center City resident. Cali kid. Entrepreneur. Celebrity. There isn't much Cole Hamels isn't, so we at Phillies Nation wanted to find out what else Hamels was about.
We asked Cole some questions, and he answered them. Here is the interview, and be sure to check out www.colehamels.com for more about our ace left-hander.
PN: Okay, no baiting: Seriously, how do you feel about the New York Mets?
Hamels: The Mets are a good organization with really talented players and finally, a new stadium. It makes the game better when you have two really good teams playing each other with great fans watching. Philly fans are the best. I can't wait for this year's games against them. Baseball needs rivalries.
PN: Chipper Jones recently said the back and forth between Phils and Mets players (citing you) was childish. What's your take?
Hamels: Chipper Jones is a great baseball player. I have a lot of respect for him, and he can say anything he wants.
PN: So you want to win 20 games. And a Cy Young. And pitch a no-hitter. Those are the three things left, right? Which is most likely this season?
Hamels: I would like to win 20 games. With that Cy Youngs come and no-hitters just happen.
PN: Were you even a little nervous pitching the clinching game of the World Series?
Hamels: I wasn't nervous to pitch game five because I still knew that we had three games to win the World Series. It makes it easier to put games in that perspective even though I wanted to win it when I pitched.
PN: Do you have individual pitching goals for 2009? Working on any individual pitches more than others? Working on any new pitches?
Hamels: Most of my new goals always start with me being able to pitch every possible start and to amass 200-plus innings. You can't affect your wins because it has to be the team that … scores the runs, but if I can keep my ERA below 3.50 you're doing something right.
PN: Some of your critiques have said the curveball isn't as strong. Do you think that's true? How confident are you in your curve?
Hamels: My curveball sucks. I'm still trying to prefect it. I think it might take my entire career to figure it out, but I will always keep trying.
PN: Jamie Moyer has always had success against the Marlins and teams that are usually younger and more aggressive. Is that true for you? Does it seem hitters have a harder time beating you when they barely see you, or are younger (such as the Rays)?
Hamels: I believe it is true that you will have success more often than not against a team that hasn't seen you, vs. teams that have. With slowing down the game — a.k.a. the change up — you will be able to have success against aggressive hitters.
PN: Tell us about the Cole Hamels Foundation.
Hamels: First it's the Hamels Foundation, because my wife is the biggest part of it. The foundation is dedicated to instilling a community-based approach in education based on providing assistance to inner-city schools in the United States, including but not limited to providing stimulating learning environments, educational programs, as well as provisions. As kindred spirits our global commitment extends to the awareness and elimination of HIV/AIDS through women's empowerment and education in Malawi, one of the poorest and most impoverished nations. Critical intervention with orphaned children to break the cycle of disease and poverty in which they have been too long trapped is our primary intent. I hope that helps explain it.
PN: Pat Burrell was partial to the Irish Pub, but where will you hang out now that you're living in Center City?
Hamels: Whoever has the coldest and best-tasting beer!
Here are some questions the Nation posed to Cole, and his answers:
Out of all the games you pitched in the 2008 regular season, is there one that stands out or that you really cherish?
— Manny
Hamels: The one game that stands out the most is the game against Atlanta where I gave up 9 runs in the 4th inning. I didn't act myself and therefore wasn't able to get out of the inning, almost causing us to lose (we scored nine in the bottom of the fourth). I look at failure as your best way to judge yourself, and how you prepared and performed.
One of the challenges of being the ace is that you tend to face off against the other team's strongest pitcher, as well. Is that going to hurt your goal to make 20 wins?
— Kieran
Hamels: I think when you're able to pitch against the best the other team has to offer you really find out how good you are. You cant let your guard down, making you play better. I like the challenge, and when I win 20 it will be worth it!
Thanks to Cole for taking the time to answer our questions.

So sweet you landed this interview, was wondering when it was going to get posted ! Considering how many interviews he gets pelted with, really cool that he took the time for this. Great pitcher and a stand-up guy, baseball needs more players like this !
nice interview there. very nice
I think this is the year Hamels gets his 20 wins. He has pitched well enough to past few years, but he seems to get little run support often when pitching. I think this is the year for him. Oh and a no-hitter would be sweeeet.
This is great! It's awesome that he answered my question, thanks for that Tim. Really interesting person: despite all his success in 08, the game vs the Braves is the one that stands out the most for him. You can tell he's a perfectionist and very down to earth.
I also liked this part: "My curveball sucks. I'm still trying to prefect it. I think it might take my entire career to figure it out, but I will always keep trying."
Good job guys. Excellent interview. I'll throw up a link on my site right away for this!
They guy was the MVP of the WS and the first question you ask is about the METS?!?!? Get over it man. The city just won its first championship in 20 years, why focus on the Mets still? Rollins in spring training then Utley mentions them at the Parade get over it… Obessed much?
Tim did you get to talk with him or was it done by email or what?
If Hamels actually articulated that whole paragraph on the Hamels Foundation, then he's one eloquent young man.
I love that our ace is not only a fantastic pitcher but also cares about humanity and helping those who can really use it, props to both he and his wife for their compassion and generosity.
Also impressive that he says his curveball "sucks", and his most memorable game was the one outing where he sucked, admitted it, and wants to improve on it. Great interview, PN, can't wait for the season to start.
Good insight into the mindset of our ace…
I love this guy, class act. I think when his career is all said and done, we will look back on him with the likes of Schmidt and Carlton. Keep it up Cole, hope you stick it to those "choke artists" this year!
Great interview. I have a tough time believing his most memorable game isn't the opening game or clinching game of the WS, but if it really is that Braves game then this guy is a serious perfectionist.
Hopefully he keeps working on that Curve, but as long as he's got that Change he'll be a force.
The Mets question was my first, because we presented the Qs just after the whole "choke artists" thing. And I like getting stupid fodder questions out of the way first in interviews.
NEPA, remember the question asks for REGULAR SEASON games only… so all postseason games are not an option.
Oh, my bad Manny. Didn't see that, that's a lot more realistic then.
Manny (Ramirez, that is) got 2 years, $45 million to stay with LAD.
He's arguably the best hitter in baseball… but that is going to end badly. He didn't get what he wanted, nor what he deserved. There are less deserving players out there making more money and he's eventually going to realize that and revert into the Manny we saw at the tail end of his BOS years. I love watching him hit and would be ecstatic if he was playing LF in Philadelphia, but with a pretty good indication that he's not getting what he wants (he lost a ton of money by listening to Bor-AS$), it's a huge risk.
Very insightful interview. I thought all left handed pitchers were supposed to be spaced out. Hammel's baseball head is firmly screwed on. It will have to be in '09 since he will probably have a bulls eye drawn on his back by the rest of the major league teams. He may even eventually approach the level of a Whitey Ford given his style of stuff. As a comment for the Hammels Foundation question and answer, I advise Cole to go find a new wife and start making more of his own kids and problems.
That Braves game was the one where he tried to throw the ball to second base and it ended up in center field… I have that moment ingrained in my mind.
What a guy.
i love the fact that what stands out the most to him is his worst starts. instead of relishing in his success, which most guys his age that have had his level of accomplishment most certainly would, he focuses on his mistakes and on how to eliminate them. all the great ones have that
great interview guys Kid Cole is the man and WFC!!! I post the link to this post on phillysportspride
Great Interview, Tim.
Have you ever thought about interviewing one of the younger prospects (Mayberry, Carrasco, Happ, etc.)? I'd love to get to know them better.
Good get, Phillies Nation. Keep up the good work!
Mayberry might be a nice get right now…He hit another bomb down here today against Canada. I think he wants to sit at the adults table.
Cole Hamels sounds like his b alls haven't dropped yet. He sounds like my 10 year old girl cousin.

Saw Cole yesterday while waiting in line to buy a burrito. He refused to sign an autograph. I'm not saying he's the second coming of Ty Cobb, but class act? He did sign a bunch of autographs at the game on Saturday and I understand the general rule of thumb about talking to someone like that while they're eating (even though he was just standing there at the time), but I wouldn't say he's exceptionally classy. (Side note: I have met Jimmy Rollins, Brad Lidge, Larry Anderson, Hugh Douglas, Ron Hextall, Gary Maddox, Matt Geiger, etc… over the years. Now those guys are cool).
People in general dont like to be bothered while theyre eating…so thats no surprise. When I see thosej guys in a non-autograph setting I never ask for their autograph, I think its rude. Some guys are cool and will still do it but when theyre out and about and you run into them at the mall or at a club or something I usually wont ask for an autograph, Ill just say whats up and say good game or something to that effect. They tend to appreciate it more than when someone ambushes them while theyre trying to eat….
anyways, thats just my experience. Ron Hextall is mad cool though (all time favorite Flyer for me. That guy was Phialdelphia through and through). Biggest dickhead athlete Ive ever met was Eric Lindros. Rich Tocchet was really cool, I ran into him a few times. Once was at a car dealership back when he had a huge mullet.

A Spanish physicist has invented a new flavor of ice cream that changes color as it is licked.
Chef and physicist Manuel Linares, the creator behind a company called IceXperience in Spain, created Xamaleón, a cutting-edge ice cream flavor that starts out one color and then changes as a person eats it, Phys.org reports.
The ice cream starts out as a periwinkle blue and then turns to bright purple and pink.
Linares claims the reaction is caused by a change in air temperature as well as the heat from saliva. He also says that a spritz called the "love elixir" gets sprayed onto the ice cream after its been scooped into a cone, which accelerates the color changing process.

Sheriff Carlos Carrizales Jr. and Deputy Lt. Ronnie Jones said this week that deputies sent to that part of the county realized quickly they were involved in something strange.
Jones said Sgt. Kevin Behr and Deputy Ryan Treviño answered a call from the Beeville Police Department at about 5 p.m. Saturday.
When they arrived, they were told that six kangaroos had gotten loose from a pasture at that location owned by exotic animal dealer Body Knapp.
"There were four females, one young kangaroo called a 'joey' and a male that was more than six feet tall," Jones said.
The animals had not gotten far, but Jones said it took Knapp and his assistants about an hour to get them back into the compound where he keeps his animals.
Knapp uses the property to hold numerous exotic animals for his business.
He transports exotic animals for ranchers and other operations that keep them.

By Chelle Delaney: Freedom Newspapers
TUCUMCARI — A Quay County jury found a Fort Sumner man guilty Thursday of killing his wife three years ago outside their home.
The jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Jose Garcia, 42, guilty of murder in the second degree, tampering with evidence and using a firearm in the commission of the murder.
A sentencing hearing is expected to be held in 30 to 45 days, prosecutor Len Walker said.
Melody Garcia's body was found June 4, 2004, by workers near the railroad tracks about 12 miles west of Fort Sumner, Walker said. She was shot once in the head with a .380-caliber semiautomatic gun, said Walker. She was 43 at the time.
"It's not what we wanted, but we will settle for it," said Robert Pennington of Fort Sumner, Melody Garcia's brother. "We were hoping for first degree."
Pennington said the Garcias were married for 12 years when the shooting occurred. "He was real possessive," Pennington said.
At the time of the killing, Melody Garcia had been working for several months at Hank's Bail Bond in Clovis, Pennington said.
Jose Garcia is a disabled veteran, Pennington said.
Walker said he was disappointed the jury did not find Jose Garcia guilty of first-degree murder. "But I'm extremely relieved for the family that this ordeal is over."
The trial in the 10th Judicial District Court in Tucumcari began on Monday.
It took the case three years to come to court because defense attorneys had raised competency hearings on Jose Garcia's behalf, Walker said.
After his arrest, Jose Garcia was taken to the jail in Fort Sumner where he slashed his wrist in an attempted suicide, Lt. Pat Werick of the state police said in 2004.
Walker said the prosecution was considering asking five more years to be added to the base sentence of 15 years for the second-degree murder charge.

I would have said you were crazy two weeks ago but I was watching the lone Pre Season game Stat played in I saw some real encouraging signs
Now..that Europe kid made him look like a D League player in a one on one situation, but in terms of team D I saw some nice stuff from Stat.
I saw communication and rotaion on Defense and help on the board.
now consider when he returns Wallace will possibly be much better and Camby should be more healthy plus Woody is bold enough to sit him if he does not play D then I think Stat will be motivated because it is going to be what keeps him on the floor.
What has me the most excited is getting that pick and roll game back with Felton....I appreciate the 3's falling now...but we can't win for long with shooting 20+ per game.
Stat would give us mid range shots and shots close to the basket which should help even more with 3 pt shooting but would help us not be totally reliant on them.

An eye exam usually involves these steps:
- First, you'll be asked about your medical history and any vision problems you might be experiencing.
- Next, how clearly you can see (visual acuity) is measured. This helps determine your prescription for glasses.
- Your eye pressure is measured, for which you may receive drops that enlarge your pupils.
- Your eye doctor checks the health of your eyes, possibly using several lights to evaluate the front of the eye and inside of each eye.
- Finally, your eye doctor discusses what he or she found during the exam and answers questions you have about your eyes.
Part of the examination, such as taking your medical history and the initial eye test, may be performed by a technician who assists your doctor.
Several different tests may be performed during the eye exam. The tests are designed to check your vision and to examine the appearance and function of all parts of your eyes.
Eye muscle test
This test examines the muscles that control eye movement, looking for weakness, poor control or poor coordination. Your eye doctor watches your eye movements as you follow a moving object, such as a pen or light, with your eyes.

Drug suspect held on half-million in bail
RUTLAND A Massachusetts man was ordered held on $500,000 bail Monday after he denied charges of heroin and crack cocaine trafficking.
Eshone L. Williams, 32, of Worcester, Mass., pleaded innocent to the trafficking charges and a misdemeanor charge of providing false information to law enforcement. If convicted of all the offenses, he faces up to 61 years in jail.
William was arrested Friday night during a police raid at 17½ Park Street in Rutland, according to court records.
Vermont State Police Trooper Jason Johnson said a team of officers from the Vermont State Police, Rutland County Sheriffs Department and Rutland Police executed a search warrant at the apartment at 10:30 p.m. Friday.
When police entered the building, two men, one of them Williams, allegedly tried to flee.
Johnson said police quickly caught up with him and found 15 grams of crack cocaine and 62 bags of heroin in his pocket as well as $5,760 in cash.
When he was questioned, Williams allegedly gave police a false name something Johnson said police learned when they found a jacket belonging to Williams that had a New York Department of Probation form with his name on it in one of the pockets.
Also found in the jacket were 300 bags of heroin and about 75 grams of crack cocaine, police said.
In total, police said they found $13,676 in cash inside the residence.
It was unclear if any of the other people who were inside the apartment were charged, including Justin B. Blake who was the other man who allegedly fled when police entered the apartment, according to court records.
Johnson said he chased Blake to the railroad tracks near Creed Ice. Police say they found no drugs on Blake but did find $830 on him. Blakes true identity only became known, Johnson said, after he was fingerprinted.
