The big names we knew; Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz. But now, we're finding out some of the other names, which includes a Philadelphia Phillie.
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Antonio Bastardo will serve a 50-game suspension as part of his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. The 27-year-old lefty was having a solid season, sporting a 2.27 ERA in 48 games. His contract was for $1.4 million this season, but he will not be paid as part of the suspension.
Be honest, does anyone care? If the players truly wanted PEDs out of the game, they would have had a stipulation in the CBA proving as such. But they don't, so players take the chance of the 50 game suspension. This is basically an unpaid vacation for Bastardo. Hopefully he can figure out a way to pitch well again next season while not on the juice.
Dan Meyer, a former Phillies reliever and New Jersey native, had this to say about a guy who beat him out for a spot in the bullpen a few seasons ago:
Hey Antonio Bastardo, remember when we competed for a job in 2011. Thx alot. #ahole

I think it is a little concerning for the Phils more than Bastardo, if he cannot return to how he was this season the Phillies will have to find a top left reliever. It hurts them a lot more than Bastardo.
I think many will make a joke of this especially since it is a player that it is difficult for the Phillies fans to rally behind…has he even been interviewed? But this is the third player (Chooch and Romero) that has been suspended for PEDs in the past few years. I feel the Phillies management and ownership need to do more on their part to clean up this mess so that it does not embarrass the team any further.
rat dont forget galvis last year while on the dl
I did forget…thats 4 in just a few years…management must do more on their part.
Add into this thread, multiple Phillies minor leaguers who have been suspended for drug violations.
This has long been a curiously, unreported aspect of the organization. I'm not sure if it is just an unfortunate series of circumstances or a culture within the organization?
I don't see how they helped, either. I mean if he took them when he was closing for a half a year, 2 years ago, I would understand. But after that he has been struggling.
I know a lot of people do not like him but how can you say that Bastardo is struggling this season? He is one of the best relievers in the league this season, an ERA of 2.27 is very good.
The person who wrote this "article" glossed over the fact that that is EXACTLY when Bastardo is accused of having taken steroids.
Why is the word article in quotes?
"Hopefully he can figure out a way to pitch well again next season while not on the juice."
This is a stupid comment. The Biogenesis stuff is from 2009, Biogenesis is closed. Bastardo is not CURRENTLY on the juice.
I should qualify that statement by saying that Bastardo totally could still be on steroids. I guess. But he hasn't failed a recent drug test so we don't have any more reason to be suspicious of his 2013 results than we do of any other player.
What Alex M. said! Bastardo can be a bit unnerving, but an ERA of 2.27 is terrific! OF COURSE he's suspended. Phillies cannot catch a damn break this year!
I would argue this is a break. Bastardo doesn't waste his arm in a meaningless year, his arbitration award is perhaps a bit lower and the Phillies will get to see more young bullpen arms to evaluate their chances for next year.
Plus their draft pick for next year probably just got a little better too!
Silver linings, folks!
So THIS explains why his ass is so damn large!
Chuck A – that was my very first thought! LOL Largest Ass in baseball you can see that thing coming a mile away.
Also explains why RAJ might not have pushed a Paplebon trade…Bastardo was the only other option to close.
Not a lot of save opportunities for teams that win 2 games in 3 weeks.
And that's what the Phillies have won in the last 3 weeks.
Ill be the closer and all I will need for compensation is a few cheese steaks and some beer.
Could save millions
This may explain why he didn't trade Papelbon, but it would be a poor explanation. They should not be worried about who closes in the meaningless games before this season ends. They should be worried about who closes – and at what cost – in 2014 and beyond.
They help a lot.
Look at JC Romeros stats in 07 and 08.
I am thankful for that trip to the drug store. It was a big part of the WS win.
Look at Ruiz. When he was hitting clean up last year!!!!!!
People just thought was eating his Wheaties?
Ruiz is probably the only player ever though that I think went on them to help the team be better more so than himself.
But you see what happens when they get caught or go off them. Romero is in the minors and probably will never ever return to the majors and Ruiz has 1 homer.
They work.
Even if it is just the mental part and the confidence it builds.
That's why they fall off so much when they come back.
They lose the mental edge of thinking you have something no one else has.
Brauns career will fall off drasticly and rapidly.
Also weird that its the latin American players who seem to always get caught.
Foolish to think they are the only ones juicing.
But I guess they don't get the stuff you can mask so easy.
Phillies going no where anyway so this isn't a big deal.
And expect him to be more like 2012 JC Romero than 2008 JC Romero in the future.
IIRC Chooch was taking ADHD meds, not roids/HGH.
I think the Bastardo we've seen this year and last is the real Bastardo…a decent, but not dominate LH bullpen pitcher. He was on the juice a few years ago when he was unhittable.
Also, Ramirez had no idea what he was taking contained steroids. His downhill slide was probably due mostly to getting old.
I meant Romero, not Ramirez. Must have been thinking of the gut the Phils just designated.
"Look at JC Romeros stats in 07 and 08."
The only thing that stands out about his stat lines those 2 years are his ludicrously low BABIP, and his insanely high LOB%. I think luck did a lot more for Romero those 2 years than roids ever could.
Too bad.. I actually really like bastardo, always have since he came up as a starter…
It'll be interesting to see what happens but I think we should keep him long term, he's a very good lefty reliever, though he's wild sometimes, he's effective… effectively wild lol…
As someone mentioned before this will benefit us in being able to see what our other young lefty relievers can do it given the opportunity in the show… it also might help us lose some more games and get us into the top 10 for the draft… optimism baby!!!
Not surprising. Remember two years ago when he had a 95 MPH fastball and set or nearly set a record of lowest opponent BA? He's not even 30 yet, so there's really no other explanation IMO for a 4-5 MPH dropoff on the fastball.
First, fastball velocity for pitchers peaks in their early twenties and goes downhill from there. See this: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/pitcher-aging-curves-starters-and-relievers/
Second, Bastardo has not lost 4-5 MPH. He's lost 1.7 MPH on his fastball over the last 4 years.
Average fastball speed:
2010 (age 24): 93.4 MPH
2011 (age 25): 92.5 MPH
2012 (age 26): 91.7 MPH
2013 (age 27): 91.7 MPH
He thought they were offering PEZZ candy instead of PED's
Easy that is gonna be a-roids next excuse lol
Just shows the young kids that cheating is ok, just a slap on the wrist. The fifty games without pay really don't hurt these guys. Now if that was you or I, we'd be dead in the water financially, lose our job, and might even do a little time. Pathetic.
We'd do a little time for buying substances from an aging clinic?
You know these things are all over the place, right? And that most of them are totally legal, if a little shady? I mean, check out this advertisement for one of them: http://i.imgur.com/7uiCMql.jpg
Ripped grandpa isn't going to jail.
I'd also argue that losing 30% of your salary is a big deal, regardless of how much you make. Obviously it's less of a deal for someone with a ton in career earnings like Braun or Rodriguez, but Bastardo is losing ~$432,000 in salary, which is 85% of what he made last year and ~16% of his career earnings to date. That's got to hurt for a guy who probably structured his life around his salary.
I understand that growth hormone and some lesser testosterone boosters are legal. I'm simply drawing an analogy. These types of PEDs are illegal in the MLB, just as steroids are in society. I was equating the two, not trying to equate the substance themselves, but the legality. Obviously, test boosters and the such are legal in the country. I also understand thirty percent of ones salary hurts, but when your making 400k still for throwing a ball, while integral positions in society rarely pay that much, only 2% make that, then for the other 90%+ of us working people who construct, engineer, move finances, teach children, heal people, etc. youre damn right it hurts. Spare me the pathos for these guys. Ryan Howard makes around 40k a game. It's a travesty that we pay sports players and entertainers such exorbitant salaries. Shame on us for fueling it.
I understand how Dan Meyer feels, but at the same time, Bastardo's use of PEDs wasn't the reason Meyer was not a good pitcher.
Yeah Dan Meyer really wasn't too good, as a major leaguer anyway
I'll wait until anouncements are actually made before I condemn Bastardo.
It does look, though, like he cheated, and that would be plain disgusting.
I really don't think any of this sets any kind of example. Cheaters are cheaters, honest people aren't. What it does, though, is when a player puts up a few good years due to PEDs, he can gain a contract so large that any suspension is a drop in the bucket. Teams should have the option of cancelling later years of a long contract when a drug related suspension goes down in the early going.
" Teams should have the option of cancelling later years of a long contract when a drug related suspension goes down in the early going."
I see where you're coming from, but I think helps the team too much. Most contracts are are backloaded, so allowing a team to void a long term contract like that wouldn't be fair.
If say the Yankees, sign a guy like Arod to a huge contract that's likely to look really bad by the end of it, but provides great surplus value in the early years, allowing them to cancel said contract halfway through isn't fair to the other 29 teams who (wisely) weren't willing to give the guy so much money on the tail end of the contract. The team would have reaped all the rewards of the contract without having to face the inevitable consequence.
By allowing teams to cancel contracts, you're arbitrarily picking winners; winners that were at least not doing enough to prevent steroid use in the first place.
I agree teams should have the option to cancel years and money on a contract after a player is suspended…
Why do people side with the billionaire owners who steal money directly from their own pockets rather than the players who have to negotiate their salaries and have a career-life span of something like 10-15 years, and less on average?
You know that tax money is taken directly out of your pockets to pay for all the new stadia around baseball, and that your cable bill is artificially inflated each month because companies like Comcast and Fox have given billions of dollars to these owners, who give less and less to the players, right? I mean, player compensation as a percentage of baseball revenues is at a multi-decade low, and the lowest of all 4 major sports, while revenues across baseball franchises as a whole are at record highs.
Meanwhile Bastardo is linked to some shady clinic because he wants to throw a baseball a little better to help his team out and people want to send him to the gulag. This whole business of vilifying the players while ignoring the straight out theft the owners have been perpetuating on fans, and, worse, non-fan residents of cities in which they operate, is so strange to me.
I actually don't think teams should get a break. I think that's unfair to the other teams. I think they should have to pay the money into some kind of fund to help players stop this stuff. And they should still get charged toward their LT threshold.
If ARoid was given a lifetime suspension. do you realize the break that would be for the Yankees?
I put this "example" out somewhere the other day, might've been here, I can't remember-
if Arod gets a lifetime ban for doing steroids, the Yankees could get total salary relief for it.
Ryan Howard doesn't use, he's just getting old and injured, and can't contribute like he used to. He could use the juice to prolong his career but he doesn't. The Phillies get NO salary relief.
One guy cheats and his team gets a break, they can now spend all they want.
The other guy doesn't but his team has to pay, and stay under the threshold.
Think about that-
Eric, he who has the gold makes the rules…been that way for centuries. Unless you propose a return of the game to the proletariat? Intriguing.
I know they'd never do it, but it would be cool if the Phillies offered refund vouchers like the Brewers did. This season has been a train wreck, and the blame can be shared from top to bottom. At least there's some comfort in knowing that RAJ (scientifically proven to be one of the best GMs in the sport) is working hard to make this team a force once again.
A little more on the quote front this morning from Pete Rose this morning, Wednesday, 2 days after the shoe finally fell after weeks of "suspense." Pete informed us that A Rod should admit his mistakes. Sharing publicity with Rose was Denny McLain. McLain offered the opinion that Jhonny (shuddup, spellcheck, I spelled it right) Peralta was being selfish by taking his suspension now rather than at a time when it was better for the Tiger franchise.
That there probably isn't a clearly right time to take any of these suspensions without an easy land on the devil's advocate square is besides the point.
The point is that you aren't gonna change the world, which marches to the beat of the media acting as though the public is attracted to fallen stars, the guilt shamed, those sort of folks.
But personally, I think such an approach is comical. I remember back in the day when cocaine was said to be floating around the bigs, and a name player was caught (not that he was alone) and he either did, or intended to do anti drug spots. The sham of that was just one person's opinion, I'd have rather the message be conveyed by a player of similar magnitude who had never fallen to the peer pressure.
So I'm sure the names of Rose and McLain attracted many eyeballs, but to me, it is completely laughable that anyone would care what either of those 2 would have to say on the subject. At what point did either of those 2 develop qualifications on who should do what? Maybe on others playing skills as a baseball player, but that's the limit. Either one would give you a nice glad hand and make you feel warm and fuzzy if you met them, and that's okay, but there are limits to what they should be commenting on.

Philadelphia Phillies (73-72) at Houston Astros (46-99)
Kyle Kendrick (9-10, 3.83) vs. Dallas Keuchel (1-7, 5.35)
Time: 7:05 p.m at Minute Maid Park
Weather: Chance of Storms (Retractable Roof), 82
TV:Comcast Sportsnet
Media: Twitter and Facebook
The Phillies are three games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card. The Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers won last night, meaning the Phillies gained a little ground. The Phillies will try to give the Astros their 100th loss of the season tonight.
What else can we say about Kyle Kendrick? He had a rough start to the year, but has been fantastic lately. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. In his last six starts, he is 5-1 with a 1.49 ERA.
While Kendrick is riding a hot streak, his counterpart is in the midst of a slump. Dallas Keuchel won his Major League debut in June, but is 0-7 with a 6.35 ERA since. He has a 1.54 WHIP and allows 9.7 hits per nine innings. The Phillies were able to drive runners home last night with their offensive outburst, and they need to do the same tonight as the opposing pitcher gives up a lot of baserunners.
Your Gameday Beer – Two Jokers Double-Wit
Two Jokers, from Missouri, is an excellent witbier brewed in the classic European style. The flavor embodies those tip-of-the-tongue spices like cloves, pepper, and coriander but is tempered by citrus accents. It's a little creamier than a traditional wit, but its light body makes for easy drinking. I recommend it with a big salad topped with spicy salmon. – By Brian

I think a valid question is this: What are we seeing in Jimmy right now? Regardless of how he gets on base, does he have a burst of speed tonight, of guts? Did he take a mexican jumping bean? You know what I mean – if he can do this now, why cant he do this more often? What does that say? Tonight he's giving his all?
Maybe it just says that Houston isn't a good enough team to stop him.
We are in WILL WIN territory!!! 🙂
99 losses with 17 games to go, wow…
Wtf is wigginton playing. Give Ruf a chance against a lefty. I hate Charlie's decisions.
Basically Jimmy Rollins gave the Phils a run, if ANYONE could have just hit a fly ball? Deep grounder? Hey, how about a single? Stranded…
aw crap
OK guys, lets pull that offense together. Pirates won today; that means WE have to win tonight.
2 – 4- – 6-8
who do we apprecate? The Astrosthe Asros Yaaaaaay!
I love it when the pitcher gets a hit. 🙂
I'm BOMBED
Looks like the KK we thought we left behind.
Any offense tonight perchance? We gonna needs it
Comon Mayberry bail them out
Pretty huge inning coming up with maxwell batting again.
I don't know how much they can really afford to fall further behind, or go early to the pen.
I'd guess KK settles down here, but that's a risky prop.
This is still very salvageable, but I'm not liking they way they look tonight.
Let's see if they can get Frandsen to the plate this inning as a minimum.
Keuchel is awful. 3 hits, 3 walks and still no runs in 3 plus innings. Says alot for our offense eh?
Comon Jimmy
It says both good things and bad things about the offense.
Good things would be runs – I mean, that is all that counts toward the final outcome.
Of course. At least they're getting baserunners.
Keuchel 5.09 ERA – still 0 runs
Well, here we go. Either get back in it, or have a real great inning.
13 men LOB, 0 for 6 with RISP
I was hoping the 3 rbi Howard had last night would ring a familiar bell but so much for a streak.
oh good grief
Not sure why they didn't start Ruf today. Howard generally has had problems with lefthanders and certainly doesn't help them in the field.
Charlie said he thought about it, but Howard either said, or showed body languagethat he wanted to play. I forget which, but Charlie did say he thought about it.
This should be Keuchel's last inning, if he makes it through.
I frankly have no idea if that's good or bad.
C'mon boys! Let's get some runs!!
Cant score a run off of a punch and Judy.
Ruff is better then the big turd.
And of course adding misery to the pain is that Milwaukee erased a 4-1 Met lead, and now leads 6-4.
At least there's still time to reverse both situations, but that's a brutal parlay to now.
"X"avier? Thank god for the mute button.
Flatlining tonight. Bad time to have this occur really hate playing the Astros in September Would have loved to see Ruf get a chance tonight to start at first. Oh well.
I do believe you'll see him tomorrow. It would be a cheapshot to mention Wally Pipp in the same breath. Ooops.
What a disappointing game!
Very quick 1 – 2 – 3
0 for 9 with RISP, 11 men LOB. KK 4 runs, 5 innings – looks like KK in May.
Why oh why do the Phils just shut down when playing these crap teams? Especially the damn Astros
What is going on? This is really sad….they look like the June Phillies!!
They're playing down to the opposition, a problem they have always had, but this is not a good time to have that problem.
That game b$&w!
Yep. As long as there is a JH, there will be no Ryno. I will say, I thought this wlduon't be the best situation for him when he was in contention last year. After spending some time with a real organization and getting the feel for how to run things the right way I would love to have him back.

Legal Aid Testifies Before EEOC on Quality Improvement
Legal Aid Testifies Before EEOC on Quality Improvement
Recommendations Include Improving Intake, Investigation, and Conciliation Processes
March 20, 2013
Today, Wednesday, March 20th, Senior Staff Attorney Elizabeth Kristen testified before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about Legal Aid's suggestions for the EEOC's Quality Improvement Plan. In her testimony, Elizabeth described a number of ways in which the EEOC could improve its intake, investigation, and conciliation processes for low-wage, immigrant and underrepresented workers.
While acknowledging the critical role played by the EEOC in vigorously enforcing our nation's civil rights laws, Elizabeth advised the EEOC to take the following actions:
- Shift and expand the geographic distribution of EEOC offices;
- Offer extended intake hours to accommodate those workers who are unable to go to the office during business hours;
- Bring staffing back up to previous levels and solve retention problems;
- Increase the availability of bilingual, culturally diverse investigators, especially those who speak Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Tagalog;
- Increase education and outreach to the LGBT community;
- Increase support for undocumented victims of employment discrimination;
- Streamline the investigation process by appropriately triaging cases, expand investigator expertise regarding certain kinds of claims, limit reassignment of cases, and better protect witnesses; and
- Make the conciliation process more effective by involving a neutral, seeking full value for cases, and speeding up the conciliation process.

Hey this is the release about this BBS!!
Contact: Mary Lofton, 847-519-7730, (ex.271) email@example.com or Mary Hurt (ex.286) firstname.lastname@example.com
Schaumburg, IL (February 2006)—La Leche League International (LLLI) is pleased to announce "The Mother-to-Mother Forum," a newly established interactive bulletin board for parents, with a focus on pregnant and nursing mothers. (www.lalecheleague.org/vbulletin)
The bulletin board offers parents a place to ask questions, receive answers and share their joys, concerns and experiences with other breastfeeding women and those who support them.*Whether it is getting started, establishing a milk supply, or a special situation such as breastfeeding multiples or breastfeeding after breast reduction surgery, participants share the information and support they need. Accredited LLL Leaders, experienced breastfeeding mothers who receive training in lactation issues, moderate the board to share their expertise and give additional information.
The Mother-to-Mother Forum serves as a clearinghouse for breastfeeding and parenting information. In addition to breastfeeding, other topics discussed include sleep, dealing with miscarriage, caregiver issues, and nutrition.
"We want to provide a safe and welcoming environment where parents can offer each other encouragement, information, and support about breastfeeding and many other parenting issues as well," says Sue Ann Kendall, LLLI Director of Internet services and initiator of the board. Reading along as others discuss situations helps a new mother relax, have fewer worries and enjoy her baby more.
Pregnant women who participate in the forum will gain the knowledge and self-confidence they need to do well even before their baby's first feeding. Mothers who are already breastfeeding also benefit from exchanges with other parents. Whether the mother is dealing with a wakeful baby, going out with a breastfed baby, or wondering when to start solids, she will find answers to her questions and concerns.
The forum is ideal for mothers who are in an area where there is no LLL Group. It is also a great way for mothers who are attending local Groups to supplement their LLL meetings between meeting dates. LLLI is the world's foremost authority on breastfeeding mother-to-mother support. The Mother-to-Mother Forum is a new way to present a time-honored tradition---one mother supporting another in the womanly art of breastfeeding.
LLLI is a nonprofit organization founded in 1956 by seven women who wanted to help other mothers learn about breastfeeding. Today LLL is an internationally recognized authority on breastfeeding, with a mother-to-mother network of Groups in over sixty countries.It is the world's largest resource for breastfeeding and related information and products. For more information about LLLI and breastfeeding, visit the LLLI Web site at www.lalecheleague.org

OMAHA, Neb. - Rather than waiting for inspectors from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to appear in your office, state correctional administrators should adjust their environmental protocols and avoid last-minute negotiations.
The Virginia Department of Corrections learned this lesson recently, and is currently finalizing the paperwork for an EPA settlement after inspectors visited 15 prisons and "discovered non-compliance with environmental regulations."
"We were already disposing of things in accordance with federal law, we just didn't have the paperwork when the EPA inspector showed up," says Bert Jones, the Virginia DOC's director of architecture and engineering services. "It wasn't like we were dumping drums of hazardous materials in the swamp."
Jones speaks about Virginia's recent experience at the Oct. 19 meeting of the Construction Maintenance Institute for Criminal Justice Agencies (CMI) in Omaha. "My goal is to help prevent other states from having to go through the same thing we went through," say Jones, who is also on the CMI board of directors.

Virginia undertook the effort in connection with the settlement for violations of the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act and the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act. An example of one violation: the DOC needed to update the manifests for drums containing waste stain from a furniture shop.
What does it mean to go through the EPA settlement process? "When the EPA comes in, they give you a report on your violations and say, 'Go fix them.' The timeline was 90 days for each facility. Not long," Jones told Correctional News.
"We went through the process of identifying and implementing a supplemental environmental project, which is one of the options that EPA gives you," he says. Rather than paying fines, the DOC took money that otherwise would have paid the fines and instead put it toward a supplemental environmental project. In addition, the department added a new Pollution Prevention Unit to the existing Environmental Services Unit.
"There are now five individuals that are responsible for supporting the field and helping identify pollution-prevention opportunities within the department," Jones says. "That's something that's above-and-beyond regulations, which is why it was approved as a supplemental environmental project."
Jones reports that the Virginia DOC is now in compliance with EPA regulations and is confident future inspections won't create the same headaches. "If you take a proactive approach to dealing with the environment - not always and easy thing to do in corrections because we have so many conflicting priorities - it's a lot easier to do it up front than with the EPA breathing down your neck," Jones says.
Bert Jones is just one of many correctional professionals and industry representatives scheduled to present at the CMI conference and technology exposition. Other topics include ACA physical plant standards, CCTV/DVR/wireless, mold and IAQ, construction costs and trends, and using fly-ash in construction.
Participants also may tour the Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility, a unique facility specifically designed to house youthful offenders sentenced as adults. To get more information on the CMI conference, visit the organization's Web site.

The Dodge brothers — Sammy, Jack and Yo-Yo — have been rocking out together since childhood, when their mother, a modern dancer, introduced them to the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson on car rides to gymnastics practice.
"Anyone who would dance really hard, Dana would get us into," Sammy said.
So although their band The Up All Nights began officially in 2008 when they drunkenly performed at twins Jack and Yo-Yo's high school winter formal in their native Perrysville, their musical history runs deeper than one presidential term.
"We are all timeless, ageless, and The Up All Nights have always been and always will be," Sammy said.
Those early shows, which also included a prom gig, came about when Sammy, the twins' elder by two years, got sick of searching for suitable bandmates.
"Instead of going out and finding a musician who would rock out, I found people who rock out who would become musicians," Sammy said.
Since then it's been Sammy on guitar, Jack on bass and Yo-Yo on drums. Occasional guests join in, but The Up All Nights is strictly a family band.
"No one's allowed to quit. We'd kick their ass," Sammy said.
"And also, nobody else is allowed to join," Jack added. They'd make an exception for their older brother Eric, who plays clarinet, or for Keith Richards.
Their live shows are wrecked and raucous, so of course their first record, a 10-inch EP called "Electric Libraland," is a party on wax. The title, a reference to their shared astrological sign, upholds a tradition including Jimi Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" and Butthole Surfers' "Electriclarryland."
"We consider this sort of the 'Return of the Jedi' of the three projects," Sammy explained.
Sammy's been on vocal rest lately, but whiskey and honey have him ready to howl for Saturday's "Libraland" release party at Kobo.
"We've been slowly progressing," Jack said. "We were always good; now we're great."

Hillin Jones
B.A., The Evergreen State College, 1981
Biographical Note
I was born the first day of summer, 1951, my mother's oldest child - my father away being a pilot in the Korean war and on sabbatical from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill; we traveled ever after from college to college the next 18 years until the draft swept me into the Navy, photography and seeing the world, at last honorably discharged, throwing me up in California to drive a dump truck, ski, apprentice to a locksmith, only to meet a girl who led me to Portland, Oregon, art, The Evergreen State College, Blue Sky Gallery, a 1983 Oregon Individual Artist's Fellowship in Photography, followed by year after year of exhibitions 'til I grew bored and began cutting boards as a carpenter on historic homes, which as fate and luck crossed, were in the same neighborhood as a gleaming tin house that houses Tin House Publishers, reminding me, after all, that I love to write; so I went and wrote a book and am hard at work on another.
Publication Type
Latest Publication Title
The Malungun Journal, Armou-Basson Jones Ltd., 2010
Publication Excerpt
Word rich, atmospheric and deeply moving, The Malungun Journal is about bad neighbors and revenge, regret and despair, and finally, redemption and hope. This elegiac diary takes an intimate look at the lingering repercussions of the Civil War and distills the immensity of such a conflict down to the undusted corners of one person's life, opening a window on all that is lost.
Finalist - 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards
How did Evergreen help you in your career?
The simple dots to connect are working with Mark Levenski and Marilyn Frasca in their amazing class Memory and Imagination, gave me the nerve and confidence to accept Instructor Craig Hickman's offer of introduction to everyone at Blue Sky Gallery. From Blue Sky came exposure to public art, teaching, the confidence to apply for grants, and now years later, many old friends. My life as an artist began at Evergreen and continues to this day in many different ways. Thank you, Evergreen.

Im going to give you my take and you will probably not like it.
Trading away David Lee just to get artest would probably rank up there as one of the worst trades in knick history.Lee made a monsterous leap from his rookie year to last year with his outstanding play on and off the court.Lee is going to keep getting better and better year after year and he would imo be one of the center pieces for the Knicks for years to come and he is a team player and he has a great additude.Now for Artest,sure he is a very talented player that can play great defense BUT the man has MAJOR problems.He is no team player,his personality sucks along with his additude and he is a major problem when he does'nt get his way.He is a major pain were ever he goes and destroys every franchise that he plays for.Now metrocard is that what you really want?? are you willing to throw a very young player thats going to be a BEAST in the NBA away for a me me me kind of player like Artest.Artest is a punk and I don't want him in a Knicks uniform.
metrocard,I can't make you change your mind but I really hope that you read what I have written and think about it b/c trading away lee for Artest would be a monsterous mistake.

Earnings are skyrocketing at drug stores — Walgreens alone saw its earnings grow nearly 70 percent in the last quarter. Drug stores no longer handle just prescriptions and selected sundries.

London Grand Final: Elite Men Press Conference Highlights
By Erin Greene on 13/09/13 at 1:47 pm
Spain's Mario Mola and Javier Gomez joined Great Britain's Alistair Brownlee and Jonathan Brownlee to talk with media before racing for the chance to become the men's 2013 ITU World Champion.
Mario Mola
On his hopes for the weekend
"I am really happy to be here. Of course I will try to do my best. We have a tough race coming this weekend, but I will try to do my best and be close to them because that means I'll be close to the first position."
Javier Gomez
On his long season
"It has been a pretty long season. It's true I have raced a lot. I had problems in a couple of races in San Diego and Kitzbuehel so I was forced to do more races that I expected. It's also true that I'm feeling pretty good in this second part of the year. I'm doing probably my best races right now like in Stockholm and De Moines a few weeks ago. I'm feeling ok, we'll see how it goes here."
On returning to compete in London
"It's really exciting to be back. Last year was probably one of my best races ever. The crowd was huge, such a great event. I have great memories. I'm looking forward to racing again on this course, with this crowd and people."
I had a big training block in August with no racing. I was a bit worried about that trip, jetlag makes you tired and all. But I recovered well, I was feeling really good this week. I had my last hard session on Tuesday, so we are pretty much in the same conditions.
Jonathan Brownlee
On what he needs to do to retain his world title
"It's pretty simple really, to be the World Champion I'm going to have to win the races. That's what it's come down to and that's great for the Series I think that it has come down to a single race. That's what you want."
On competing in London again after the Olympics
"It's a strange feeling come back here. Last year it was so special and I thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I kept telling myself it'd be the last time I'd race here. It's nice to be back because you got great memories of seeing all of those thousands of people out there."
Alistair Brownlee
On never having lost a Grand Final race
"Yea, obviously and race you go to you want to try to win. It's like any other race, it's triathlon. It's great to be back in London. I've had some great races and some bad ones too here. Hopefully it'll be a good one this weekend."
On competing on the Olympic course
"It's mixed emotions for me. I think on the one hand it's fantastic to be back in London. It's great to be able to race on the Olympic course again and with all of the thousands of age groupers and juniors and 23s to race. That's fantastic, that's a brilliant legacy. But on the other hand it would have been kinda nice to draw a line under it last year and move on."

#1 Woman Gropes TSA Agent's Breast at Security Checkpoint07-16-2011, 12:22 PMPHOENIX - We hear a lot of complaints about security screeners groping airline passengers.
But now, a Colorado woman is accused of putting her hands on a TSA agent at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
Court records show 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae grabbed the left breast of the female agent Thursday at the Terminal 4 checkpoint.
Police say she squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands.
Officers say Mihamae admitted to the crime.
There's no word why she touched the agent.
Mihamae now faces a felony count of sexual abuse.
According to court records, she lives in Longmont, Colorado and is self-employed.
Hands off my hooters!:eek:The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

text: Matthew is now 6 1/2 weeks old and we are hoping he will be leaving the NICU very soon. The doctor said to be ready to possibley bring him home one day this week!! Right now he is being bed bottles of expressed milk when I am not there and nursing when I am. And he is off of the nipple shield and nursing directly. I am so proud of my little man - and proud of myself for sticking with it. When he was born at 29 weeks I never thought we'd make it this far with breastfeeding. But now he has gained over 2 pounds from my milk and is almost 5 1/2 pounds - he is even starting to outgrow his preemie clothes. I was never able to nurse my daughter who was also premature - I pumped for three months but whenever I tried to latch her on she acted like I was torturing her. Little Matthew loves it though. It is so obvious he prefers me to the bottle and I love to watch him as he settles down to nurse. I'm hoping to get him completely on the breast soon after he comes home- with maybe a bottle of expressed milk here and there. I can't believe he will be here soon - we installed the car seat tonight!!

Are you trying to say that the French haven't improved?
Was you expecting them to be world beaters with only a handful of starting SL players, another handful of fringe SL players, and a final handful of part time players?
the freanch are as poor as they were pre 2005, the whole point put forward by all the experts on this forum was that a french super league team would make the national team more competetive! clearly hasn't worked has it wellsey...........................all catalans have done is to provide a rest home for antipodeans and they even bent the rules to get ben fisher over there on "loan" from batley.

Are You Ready to Take Your Ministry to the Next Level?
Dave Matchette, MDiv '08, knew God called him to pastoral ministry. He also knew he needed more preparation in order to create a dynamic ministry that was not only biblically grounded, but also caring and compassionate. Meanwhile, Pastor Larry Anderson, DMin '10, was so inspired by the training he received at BTS that he led his church INTO the city of Philadelphia to face an environment of crime and violence with the love of Jesus.
Any institution can educate you on the teachings of the Bible. BTS will accomplish the goal of Godly learning while mixing it with practical training and personal relationships.
Ministries come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing remains constant... The desire to reach people. As the challenges of ministry change, the core goals for our students remain the same:
- Train Missional leaders that facilitate entrepreneurial innovation.
- Engage students in the classroom to create thoughtful dialog
- Promote unity and relationships through the cohort education model
These distinctive features are why numerous students have chosen BTS to successfully improve their current ministries, and start new ones. Shouldn't you do the same?

From birth, we've been inundated with one-sentence messages that are meant to be quick fixes for virtually any problem. You find them everywhere: songs, sitcoms, movies, novels. Pour enough beer into the biggest badass in the bar, and you'll find him hugging random strangers and spouting off generic "Be true to yourself" type advice and thinking he's a modern day Gandhi.
That's not saying that the advice he's giving is necessarily wrong -- we've just been hammered with it for so long that we sort of just accept it as absolute gospel. But just like any advice or random pill you find on the floorboard of your car, it needs to be examined before it's swallowed. Take, for example ...
6"Follow Your Heart"
If there's one thing that Hollywood loves doing, it's trying to convince us that it's wise to ignore our responsibilities in favor of a reward that has virtually no chance of happening. In Field of Dreams, Ray (Kevin Costner) is in very real danger of losing his house, his land and his job because he can't pay the mortgage. Instead of doing the sane thing and getting a backup job, he instead plows up his crops, ensuring even less money from the harvest, and spends money he doesn't have on a baseball diamond, complete with a lighting system and bleachers that probably could have paid off a pretty big fucking chunk of his debt.
Or how about Richard Gere, who decides at the end of Pretty Woman that he should follow his heart and commit to a prostitute he knew for seven days? Hell, even Luke Skywalker turns off his targeting system and banks an entire planet's existence on space magic.
"Luke, you turned off your targeting system. Are you fucking stupid? Do you hate those people on that planet?"
A Better Alternative:
"Your heart gets a vote, but your brain gets veto power."
What they're telling you when they say "Follow your heart" is to set aside logic, ignore any potential consequences and trust that your emotionally fueled guess will be the right one. The problem with that is nobody really knows what they're talking about when they say "heart." Is it emotions? Gut instinct? A supernatural fate detector? In reality, the urges and cravings that spring up from your primal self are all based on such mundane, almost random factors. How much sleep you had the night before. Whether or not you have a headache. Depression. Your mood. Comet trails of old lessons floating around in your subconscious that you picked up from shows and songs when you were a kid.
"Right now, my heart is telling me to fuck all six of you."
In the movies, it always pays off. In real life, that's about the worst way to make any sort of rational decision, because without the balance of emotion and cold, robotic logic, you'd be homeless and insane by the end of the week.
Your "heart" is telling you to walk out on your crappy job. Your brain is the one saying, "No, we have bills to pay and food to buy. Get another job secured first and then give a two-week notice so we don't end up sucking dick for cheeseburgers." Your heart tells you to confess your love to a married woman. Your brain is the one that stops you and explains, "Are you fucking crazy? She has a husband and kids. If she doesn't love you back, you've ruined your friendship forever. If she does accept you, you just wrecked an entire family."
"No, I swear it wasn't me! It was my heart!"
There's nothing wrong with pursuing a dream or going after the person you love. But following the movie message of doing it at the expense of everything else in your life is just plain stupid.
Which leads me to another fucked up, overly romantic Hollywood rule ...
5"You Have to Tell Her How You Feel"
I think at some point pretty much everyone has had an unattainable crush, and calling it "torture" doesn't really do the situation justice. Maybe it's a person who sits across the room at work or school and doesn't know you exist -- Jake from Sixteen Candles. Or maybe it's your best friend, and you just can't bring yourself to say anything -- Pam from the early seasons of The Office.
Hollywood considers this a mortal sin, so they usually inject a best friend into the story who constantly nags the main characters to confess their love. In Steve Martin's Roxanne, the best friend not only nags him about it, but when he decides he's not going to come clean, she does it for him behind his back. One way or another, you are fucking well going to tell that person how you feel, whether you like it or not. And in the end, you shall be awarded exclusive access to their squishy parts.
"I've finally found the only person in the world who doesn't throw punches at me when I smile like this."
A Better Alternative:
"Find out how she feels."
In real life, it's not so cut and dried. Yes, if you feel comfortable enough to come clean with that information, you'd be stupid not to. But just like all the other entries in this list, it has to be weighed out and not just accepted as standard human protocol. The cold, hard truth is that some relationships just aren't set up to be romantic ... and although it's ridiculously tough to admit, most people know when they're in a friendship with no room for promotion. That they're in a boner-free zone.
"Sorry, but you dress really weird. I just can't have that."
We've kind of been trained to think that since we consider the other person to be our soul mate, as soon as they know our feelings, they immediately fall in line. When it's a male lead who's secretly in love with the woman, as soon as she finds out, she embraces him as if she had no idea what she wanted until he told her. When it's a female lead, she has to transform herself with a complete makeover like Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club.
Unfortunately, we're never really shown the much more likely side of that, where the secret "soul mate" simply doesn't feel the same way. That after being told, they sort of just stammer in embarrassment, "Oh, hey. Um ... thanks, buddy. That's ... really flattering."
Yes, it sucks. No, confessing your love isn't going to make the relationship stronger. In those cases, it's most likely going to make it awkward, and no matter how many Ross and Rachel fairy tale endings we see, real-life rejection changes everything. The key to knowing whether or not this is the right advice for you is all based on whether or not you feel like you can remain friends, even if there's no chance you'll ever be together as a couple.
"I ... uh ... have to take a huge shit!"
It's a double-edged bitch of a sword that no one-sentence piece of advice can fix. Oh, and speaking of rejection, Hollywood has a solution for that, too ...

Kassab Ties School Record as Pfeiffer Overthrows Queens
from press release
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Ashleigh Kassab registered a game-high nine goals to tie a school-record and lead the sixth-ranked Lady Falcons to a 17-9 victory over Queens in Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The win sends the Lady Falcons to 13-1 overall, 5-1 in league play securing the league's #2 seed in next weekend's conference tournament. The Royals drop to 8-9, 5-2 with Saturday's defeat.
Kassab would start the day's scoring just 49 seconds into Saturday before the Royals took a 2-1 lead on back-to-back tallies from Jena Ready (Charlotte, NC) and Brittany Barnwell (Lorton, VA). After Kassab hit again to tie the contest at two 34 seconds after Barnwell, Queens would re-take the lead on a Nicole Forgione (Davidson, NC) unassisted goal at the 24:35 mark of the first.
Pfeiffer would go on to score the next eight-straight goals to bust out to a 10-3 lead. Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD) would start the run after a Katherine Athens (Huntingtown, MD) assist while Sarah Daly proceeded with back-to-back assists on back-to-back Kassab goals. Bonnel struck for two more tallies to make it 7-3 until Carly Garrison (Orlando, FL) made it 8-3 halfway through the first. Daly and Kassab finished off the 8-0 run while Kassab sandwiched her final first half goal in-between the Royals' Maggie Masters (Annapolis, MD) and Forgione hitting to end the half.
Queens got off to a quick start in the second as Ready and Masters each hit again to make it an 11-7 game 4:11 into the final half. The Lady Falcons would respond right back with three-straight goals as two more Kassab goals halted the run while Daly extended the advantage back to seven at the 17:35 mark of the second.
Kassab put home her ninth and school-record tying goal with 10:22 to play on an assist from Kristina Anderson (Gaithersburg, MD). Ready would hit on the final two goals of the day for Queens while Courtney Luther (Frederick, MD) and Garrison did the same for Pfeiffer.
Behind Kassab's nine goals, Daly would finish the day with four assists while Andrea Archila (Olney, MD) picked up six groundballs. Britton Muir (Woodsboro, MD) scored a game-high six caused turnovers while Athens controlled seven draws.
Pfeiffer will look towards the 2012-2013 regular season finale on Wednesday hosting Lenoir-Rhyne at 4:00 p.m. Live stats will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Our man-on-the-scene at Sony's press event for the unveiling of the NGP -- the codename for whatever the PSP's successor will eventually be called -- had a chance to chime in with the exact specs of the new device. Sleek, refined and loaded with tech, the NGP is no doubt looking to provide a quasi-PS3 experience directly in the palm of your hand.
Screen & Controls
The most striking feature of the NGP is its large 16:9, five-inch OLED touch screen display. It's noticably larger than the iPhone's 3.5" screen and features a resolution of 960x544. The back of the device contains a touch pad which can be used in conjunction with the screen's touch capabilities for a unique control experience.
In addition to the touch controls, the NGP is the first portable gaming device to feature two analog sticks. Sony was eager to point out that these sticks bear a closer resemblance to an console controller's sticks than the PSP's "nub". To enable motion control on the NGP, Sony has also included a three-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. The directional pad, action & shoulder buttons all appear to be similar to the PSP.
Game Media
The NGP will play games off a small proprietary flash based memory card. This card will store the actual game, additional downloadable content and game save data. Sony did not reveal if the NGP will have its own internal storage.
Cameras & Network Functionality
Front and rear cameras are present on the NGP, but currently, the resolution of these cameras are unknown. The NGP has built-in Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G network capability with GPS and WiFi location service support.
Battery Life and Other Specs
Sony states that the battery life of the NGP is comparable to, if not better than, the current PSP when running early development units, so consumers can expect, at the very least, an equal amount of playtime. Additionally, Sony stands behind their decision for the NGP to exclude 3D functionality, stating that the hand-held console is still evolving within its own technology and that the NGP reflects the exact experience -- at the exact right price point -- that Sony had in mind.
For some of the tech-ier among you, here's a quick rundown of what's under the hood.
CPU - ARM Cortex A9 Core (4 core)
Dimensions - Approximately 182 x 18.6 x 83.5mm (width x height x depth)
Sound - built in stereo speakers and microphone
Check back shortly for more on the selection of games slated to hit the NGP when it launches during the 2011 holiday season.

Portland Becomes First Salmon-Safe City
Mayor Hales issues Salmon-Safe challenge to other West Coast citiesRead More…
Phone: 503-823-4120
1221 SW 4th Avenue, Room 340, Portland, OR 97204
THURSDAY, NOV. 7, 2013 -- The Portland delegation's visit to China ended over the weekend. For Mayor Charlie Hales and First Lady Nancy Hales, the end of the journey took them to Kunming,
Thurs. Oct. 31, 2013 -- Mayor Charlie Hales spent much of yesterday in meetings with Party Secretary Dr. Fengyue Zhou, a ten year city planner and now head of Chenggong district of Kunming. The top concerns they shared were sustainability, green building and growing wisely. Dr. Zhou asked Portland to share some insight on how to build a truly sustainable city. Mayor Hales said both Portland and Chenngong can magnify their impact by serving as prototypes for other cities in their respective countries.
The Chenggong district of Kunming had 100,000 residents ten years ago. Today, it has 300,000 and is designed to accomodate one million in another decade. Mayor Hales discussed the District's plan to preserve parkland, provide safe and attractive multi-modal experiences and invest in high tech, bio-pharmaceuticals, local agriculture and top level medical facilities.
Mayor Hales presented Portland's commitment to low carbon livability and green city development to Dr. Zhou. Chenggong is one of only eight "low carbon districts" in China and the first to embrace "green building." Chenggong is striving to replicate and adapt Eco-districts based on Portland's pioneering work. Mayor Zhou said smart urban planning is the key to our success as a city.
Our favorite pic of the day: the slide that reads: What is it about Portland?
Wed. Oct. 30, 2013 -- More photos from Mayor Hales' trip to China. He met with the mayor of Tongli at an art exhibit of Portland artist Grace Lim. Her work, Trails of Bliss, was shown in Portland before being shiped to our sister city, Suzhou! He also talked a little business with the owners of the Mark Spencer Hotel -- Portlanders Alix and Wei Nathan. Mayor Hales also clearly never misses a chance to learn about other city's infrastructure.
October 29, 2013. -- Mayor Hale's China Venture continues with many meetings to strengthen our relationship with Sister City Suzhou, China. Mayor Hales had a one-on-one meeting with the mayor of Suzhou, where they discussed their strong relationship and opportunities for an even stronger future. He and his wife, Nancy, enjoyed an elaborate feast with Sister City Association members. It had a local flavor, as Rogue beer was served! The Mayor also met with the president and designer of the Portland's own Lan Su garden. The delegation toured a garden and saw the smallest bridge in China It's said to be the model for Portland's own Lan Su garden. On a visit to the Suzhou Daily newspaper, the mayor enjoyed seeing a story from five years previously, when Portland amd Suzhou celebrated their 20th year as sister cities!
Mayor Charlie Hales and his wife, Nancy, pose at banner celebrating Portland's Sister City relationship with Suzhou,China. The Mayor said a few words at the ceremony. The Mayor also visited Taicang Port and visited with the Vice Director, Tony Gao.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23, 2013 – Mayor Charlie Hales and a delegation of Portlanders are heading out this week to China.
The trip runs from Oct. 25 to Nov. 3. The missions are:
• To discuss green cities and environmental programs.
• To support sister-city relations, and sister-school relations with Portland-area schools.
• To visit with Chinese foundry owner Huo Baozhu, who donated a large elephant sculpture to Portland and who has offered to donate more as a fundraiser to support homelessness intiatives.
"This sort of mission is vital," Mayor Hales said. "As a Pacific Rim city, our economic vibrancy, our artistic community, and even our environmental initiatives are linked toAsia. Trips like this can promote better understanding on a wide array of topics."
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber -- who led a mission to China in October 2012 -- said such missions create a vital link between the nations.
"China is a critical trading partner with Oregon and we are committed to growing that relationship to ensure a bright economic future," Gov. Kitzhaber said. "I strongly believe Oregon's products and expertise in green building and clean technology can help China meet its goals and open a whole new platform for exports and investment."
Among those taking the trip are Portlander Robert Fraser, a travel agent and president of the Portland Suzhou Sister City Association.
"This trip is a wonderful opportunity for our delegation to meet Suzhou leaders in business, education and culture and to exchange ideas which often lead to opportunities for mutual cooperation," Fraser said.
"We will experience the rich history and culture of Suzhou and come back to Portland with a better understanding and appreciation for this city, which is known as the' Venice of Asia,'" he said. "We can better appreciate what Suzhou has to offer Portland and what Portland has to offer Suzhou. We have already seen this happen with the establishment of the Lan Su Chinese Garden; Skybridge, a center for educational exchange, and the Confucius Institute at PSU dedicated to promoting Chinese language and culture. There will always be new exciting opportunities born from these visits."
The trip is being paid for by a variety of sources, including the hosting cities. Although final figures are not yet available, it is believed that the trip will cost the city of Portland less than $300.

It was a pleasure to stay in Stefans appartment. It is very well located and there are many cafés, restaurants and bars around.
Stefan is a very nice host and also had some nice tips what to visit in the city.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a very nice stay in Stockholm. Mariatorget is close to "Gamla Stan" (10 min. walk)! Stefan is a terrific host - homebaked bread for breakfast and a pleaseant and familiar atmosphere. We had never tried B&B before - we didn't regret that for a second. We can warmly recommend Stefans cosy room if you are a little tired of impersonel hotel service.
