So Ds is haveing pooping problems again He hasn't had a bowel movement in 9 days (he is almost 10 months) I don't give him rice cereal or condtipating foods all I feed him is fruits and veggies,water and some jar stew baby foods (they have a very little bit of pasta, not much though)
Last time he pooped I had to give a suppository cause it was on the harder side and he was straining..but I did give him a bit of rice cereal before that.
The doctor has proscribed him something they give for colon cleanses to mix with his food but I don't want to resort to that..so far he is a little more cranky then usual but he is also teething..any ideas???Thanks

If you are a utility professional who works in management or you are a consultant working with the folks who manage utilities, then you ought to be at The Utility Management Conference ™2014: Making Progress More Apparent in Savannah, Georgia next month. UMC is simply the best venue to learn, share, explore, and discover the latest information, the keenest examples, the most proven methods, and without doubt the best place to get the answers to questions on the full spectrum of contemporary management challenges facing water sector utilities.
Okay – so maybe I'm biased because I co-chair the conference along with my long-time colleague, Tom Arn. Between the two of us we have worked with utilities and utility managers for close to 60 years, and a lot of the folks that we have come to know as colleagues, clients, and importantly, as friends, are regulars at UMC-- the place to see your colleagues, clients, and friends as well.
Or perhaps I'm biased because I've been attending UMCs since the mid to late 1990's – from Portland, to Denver, to Charlotte and more (not in that order). I've also had a chance to work with the good folks at WEF and AWWA, who have tag-teamed and crisscrossed the country to put together the best conference for utility professionals interested in management topics – period. Doesn't matter where we go…..it's good.
Okay I'm biased. Seems like every year UMC gets a little better – kinda like one of them management principles we all hear about but don't necessarily get after doing…..I think it has something to do with continual improvement…At this year's meeting Feb 25-28 in Savannah, once again there will be a dynamite program with some great workshops, including one that is focused on how to "rebrand" yourself as an organization to better align with the times and expectations of your stakeholders. We have loaded up three more highly engaging Utility Leader Forums; you can have a real conversation with a panel of your peers on real topics that reveal real issues and real solutions. And of course, we have a full slate of presentations that have been hand-picked from a record setting number of submitted abstracts. It was hard to say "no" to so many good ones – but the ones we settled on as a planning committee are sure to deliver a breadth and depth of experiences, examples, and potential solutions for you and your colleagues.
And you'll want to be in the room for the Opening General Session on Wednesday morning. Not only do we have a great featured speaker (more on him another day), we are in for a special treat from our 'visiting dignitaries' from WEF and AWWA……..can't tell any more or I'm off the committee!
So, if you haven't already made the arrangements to come – get after it – we'd love to see you there. And for everyone who is already on the way – can't wait to see ya!

The weather is finally warming up and Spring is finally here. People are out and about in downtown Pontiac. Tourists are pouring in and its a great time to own a business downtown.
How are people going to find you? You have a Facebook page, but how does anyone know how to find it? They could search, but you'd have to know what you're searching for.
You have a free website, but it hasn't been updated in years and does not work well on a phone. Can people search for you? If you search for "downtown pontiac, IL" is your business going to show up?
In order to take advantage of the tourist flow (or even locals like myself that don't get out much) you need to be web accessible. The personal computer is now truly personal, and instead of sitting under our desks it resides in our pockets. Your presence needs to be available in the palm of potential customers hands.
So how do you do this? The good news is, it's not hard. You just need to have a presence on the web. There are many free services, but many limit what you can do or have ads. I recommend a local web developer (shameless plug :)).
Sites like www.wordpress.com offer up free hosting, but limit customization. There are many others (full disclosure, I'm a wordpress fan). Many of these services by default have mobile views so your site is ready for any device (iPhone, iPad, Nexus, Android, etc).
Once you have a site you will need SEO (search engine optimization). That simply means sites like Google can easily find you, which in turn means users like myself can find you. The basic keys to seo are keywords and content. Your 'about' page should mention being located in 'downtown Pontiac' for example and you should update the site regularly with your specials, hours, deals, events, etc. Content is king. Google will look for you if you have something to say.
Lastly is analytics. In other words stats. Google has a program for this for free or there are paid services. Either way you need to know who is coming to your site, at what time and on what device. That way you can tweak your site to meet the traffic you're getting.
Everyone has a website these days, do you? If you get your business in the palm of people's hands, you can increase the potential for new customers.

Huntington Levee
Fairfax County will build a levee and pumping station to protect homes and other property in the Huntington neighborhood from flooding.
This is a complicated project that will require review by local, state and federal agencies, and will take up to seven years to design and build the levee. Completion is scheduled for spring 2019.
Voters approved a $30 million stormwater bond in November 2012 to fund the construction of the levee and pumping station.
Project Need
The Huntington community floods due to tidal surges from the Potomac River and flash flooding from the Cameron Run Watershed. The community was built prior to enactment of the current floodplain regulations.
Since 2002, three floods have damaged vehicles and other property in this neighborhood. There are 160 homes in the FEMA-designated floodplain that are at risk in the future.
At Fairfax County's request, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers studied the best ways to protect Huntington from future floods. The study examined a number of options, including dredging Cameron Run, buying the flood-prone properties and flood proofing individual homes. The study found that a levee and a pumping station are the most cost effective ways to protect Huntington. Fairfax County awarded a contract to the engineering firm of ARCADIS to design the levee and pumping station based on the Corps initial concepts.
While the levee can prevent flooding of houses from the types of storms that have happened in the past, it is not designed to offer protection from flooding that is caused by storms that are greater than a 100-year event (a storm that has a one percent chance of occurring in a given year).
Huntington Levee Community Meeting (PDF)
Receive email notification of public meetings and project
You will be sent a subscription confirmation request which you must reply to with the word OK as the body of the message. (The message that is sent will also have instructions letting you know how to respond.)
Project Description
The levee will be a combination of an earthen embankment and four foot high I-wall that runs parallel to Cameron Run. The purpose of a constructed levee is to minimize flooding.
Based on the conceptual design prepared by ARCADIS, the project details include:
Levee - Earthen embankment and I-wall combination
- 2,800 feet long (beginning west of Fenwick Drive and running eastward to the Riverside apartments)
- 6 to 11-foot high earthen embankment (height is dependent upon the elevation of the existing ground along the alignment of the levee)
- 4-foot high I-wall on top of the earthen embankment
- 13 feet wide at the top of the embankment including an 8-foot wide asphalt trail
- Average of 43 to 68 feet wide at the base, dependent upon the height of the levee
- Buried collection drain along the toe of the levee to control ground water seepage
- Buried concrete box culverts running parallel to the levee to divert stormwater to the pumping station during large storm events
- Pumping station facility, located on the east end of the levee
While the levee can help mitigate flooding of houses from the types of storms that have happened in the past, it is not designed to offer protection from flooding that is caused by storms that are greater than a 100-year event (a storm that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year).
Project Complexities
The levee is a complex project that likely will require:
- Permits from local, state and federal agencies
- Environmental and other reviews by state and federal agencies
- Construction in a wetlands, which is regulated by state and federal agencies
- Acquisition of land and easements
- Relocation of existing utilities
Project Timeline
This complex project is anticipated to take three to five years to design, with an additional two years for construction (from November 2012).
The county is proceeding on the following schedule:
Project Design Phase I (June 2013 – January
2014) - Completed
- Data Collection
- Site Study
Conceptual Design
Project Design Phase II (January 2014 - Winter 2017)
- Schematic Design
- Design Development
- Construction Documents
- Permitting
- Land Acquisition
- Construction (Winter 2017 - Spring 2019)
For more information or to submit questions or comments about the Huntington Levee project, please call 703-324-5800, TTY 711, or email email@example.com.

THE WALK-ONS by Tim Durham and Aimee Nowland (30 minutes)
College football may be best known for the frenzied competition for top recruits. But what of the local students who want to play for the team? With no full rides offered, these kids work part-time jobs to pay for their tuition. Trampled daily and sold on the hope that after a season or two, they might catch the coach's eye, these walk-ons are not ready to let go of their dreams to go further than the practice field.
MARE IGNOTUM (SEA OF MYSTERY) by Loretta Oleck Berger and Linton Suttner (70 minutes)
It's hard to miss Max Shapiro. Whether on his Harley or showing off his tattoos and pet snake, Max has traveled many lonely roads in his 70 years. But it is the less traveled inner road which most interests his niece as she takes us on a journey to discover more about him and herself in the process.
This program is organized by Adele Schmidt and Erica Ginsberg from Docs in Progress and is co-sponsored by The Documentary Center at the George Washington University.

Journal Article
© Jul 2013 Volume 11 Issue 3, ICICKM 2012, Editor: Fernando Chaparro Osorio, pp185 - 279
Look inside Download PDF (free)
Abstract: The paper addresses issues related to the confusion surrounding conceptual understanding of tacit knowledge and its transferability in organization's realm from an original perspective. Lately, at every level: country, industry and organization, attention to knowledge has intensified due to the realization that in "post‑capitalist society" (Drucker, 1993) knowledge is increasingly replacing traditional driving forces of economy: labor, capital and natural resources as the primary factor in economic growth. Knowledge use is now considered as imperative in all aspects of an organization. In literature there exist various typologies of knowledge, however, in organizational science most common classifications of knowledge include two general types: tacit and explicit. This paper brings clarity to the concept of tacit knowledge, nexus between tacit and explicit knowledge and effects of advances in technologies on the codification capability of tacit knowledge. It argues that many types of tacit knowledge that were considered as inexplicable just recently thanks to new technologies have become transferable. Drawing examples from knowledge science literature the author questions the rigid belief of some scholars in ineffability of tacit knowledge. The author also claims that organizations need to reassess their knowledge related strategy, particularly, in relation to tacit knowledge if they would like to develop sustainable competitive advantage from effective knowledge use. Findings: The author shows how new technologies are changing our perception of tacit knowledge and why it is time for organizations to reevaluate their knowledge strategy. Originality/Value: By showing a clear correlation between technological advancement and tacit knowledge transformability the paper contributes to the theoretical understanding of tacit knowledge.

April 3, 2013 —
In a move that lawmaker Cindy Gieger has been pursuing for some time, a press conference was held at the government center on April 2 to announce the appointment of detective Gerald Dietz to the position of chief fraud investigator serving the Sullivan County Division of Family Services. There was also the announcement of the formation of Sullivan County's first fraud investigation team, which includes not only Dietz, but all branches of law enforcement in the county.
In a sign that officials are already targeting social services fraud in the county, at least two arrests on such charges have been announced in the past week by county law enforcement agencies.
Gieger was quick to note that many people genuinely need social service benefits such as Medicaid, but she added that "Sullivan County has become a destination" for people who want to receive benefits. She said, "We must not allow one penny to get lost to waste, fraud, abuse or overpayment." She said to those who would cheat the system, "If you are defrauding the system, do not come to Sullivan County," which according to various officials, has gained a reputation as a place where benefits were perhaps easier to obtain than in other counties.
Also attending the conference were officials from most of the police departments in the county, and District Attorney Jim Farrell said the involvement of all of the New York State Police, the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, the Monticello, Liberty and Fallsburg police departments and other county agencies was essential to success in the effort, "to bring people who defraud the county, defraud us as taxpayers, to justice."
Sheriff Mike Schiff added, "There's no way that you do this with one piece of the puzzle. You have to have a legislature in place that is willing to do what they need to do, you have to have management over at social services willing to do what they have to do, and some of this will not be pleasant."
A tip line, 513-CFWA (short for Cut Fraud Waste & Abuse) or 845/513-2392, has been created along with an email address, firstname.lastname@example.com [3], where cases of suspected abuse can be reported.
Gieger said she expects the effort to result in hundreds of thousands of dollars for the county.

For Immediate Release
April 12, 2013
Second grade Joliet teacher named 2012 National Milken Educator
Surprise announcement recognizes teacher for her success as role model for students and peers
JOLIET – The Illinois State Board of Education and the Milken Family Foundation announced today that Stephanie Hawkins, a second-grade teacher at Lynne Thigpen Elementary School in Joliet, has been chosen as the Illinois recipient of the Milken National Educator Award. Hawkins will receive $25,000 as part of the award.
"We are thrilled to join the Milken Foundation in recognizing another outstanding Illinois teacher," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Stephanie is known among her peers and school community for employing a wide variety of strategies to reach all students. Today, she's getting some well-deserved credit for her quiet can-do attitude."
An educator for seven years, Hawkins has just been at Lynne Thigpen in Joliet Public Schools District 86 for two years but has already proven to be an invaluable member of the faculty and committees focused on curriculum and school improvement, according to Principal Kimberly Gordon. Through research and innovation, Hawkins excels at differentiating instruction so that every child gets the support he or she needs in order to learn and succeed. Her efforts helped two students who were nearly retained at their grade level become above average readers, Gordon said.
"She doesn't give up, she's strategic and thoughtful about what will work for each individual student,'' Gordon said. "She's always open to new ideas. If I would pass on an article about a new reading strategy, she would read it, devour it, apply it and work with our team to get on board with it."
Gordon also cited Hawkins' calm and respectful demeanor, saying students emulate her – even when they're out of her sight. At the same time, Gordon said that Hawkins exhibits strong leadership skills.
"She's not afraid to challenge the status quo," Gordon said. "Even as a new teacher in the building, she's willing to stand up for what she believes in."
The Milken National Educator Award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary skills and a personal commitment to education. Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation.
To date, more than 2,500 educators across the country have been awarded a total of more than $63 million in individual, unrestricted awards. Started in 1987, Illinois joined the Milken Educator Awards program in 1988 and there have now been 111 Illinois Milken National Educators. Last year's winner was Brad Abel, a social studies teacher from John Hersey High School of Township High School District 214. For more information, visit: http://www.mff.org/mea/.

Oxygen Is Good, Even When It's Not There
Note: This article originally appeared in Skeptical Inquirer, 28(1), 48-50 & 55, January/February 2004. I'm recycling it now because I have been at The Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas instead of home at my computer writing new posts. It's still timely: despite multiple debunkings and FTC actions, vitamin O is still for sale. Amazon has it for $4.80 an ounce. I'm no Mark Crislip; but I like to think this article borders on the Crislipian. Enjoy!
Oxygen is not just in the air; it's on the shelves. It has been discovered by alternative medicine and is being sold in various forms in the health supplement marketplace. Back when I was an intern, we used to joke that there were four basic rules of medicine: (1) Air goes in and out. (2) Blood goes round and round. (3) Oxygen is good. (4) Bleeding always stops.
Alternative medicine has latched on to rule number three and won't let go. The rationale, apparently, is that oxygen is required to support life; therefore more oxygen should make you more healthy. It's not clear how this relates to alternative medicine's advice on anti-oxidants, but that's irrelevant. OXYGEN IS GOOD, so we should put it in our soft drinks and breathe it at oxygen bars. Take an oxygen tank home with you — you might feel better. The oxygen vendor might feel better, too. Dr Andrew Weil, the renowned health guru, tells patients with chronic fatigue to ask their doctors to prescribe oxygen for a home trial. Sure, why not? The money it costs will literally vanish "into thin air," but who cares? OXYGEN IS GOOD.
Ignore the fact that you could find out whether you need oxygen by testing your blood oxygen saturation with that little-clip-thingy-they-stick-on-your-finger-in-the-emergency-room (aka pulse oximeter). Who cares if your blood is fully saturated with oxygen already? OXYGEN IS GOOD. If your oxygen saturation is a little less than 100 percent, there is no evidence that raising it will help with anything. If it is a lot less, and you do need oxygen, any competent doctor should be able to figure that out. But try an oxygen tank anyway: OXYGEN IS GOOD. Is this starting to sound like a mantra? It should. This is religious belief I am talking about, not science. (more…)

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international assessment that measures 15-year-old students' reading, mathematics, and science literacy every three years. First conducted in 2000, the major domain of study rotates between mathematics, science, and reading in each cycle. PISA also includes measures of general or cross-curricular competencies, such as collaborative problem solving. By design, PISA emphasizes functional skills that students have acquired as they near the end of compulsory schooling. PISA is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental organization of industrialized countries, and is conducted in the United States by NCES. Data collection for the most recent assessment was completed in Fall 2015.
PISA 2015 will assess students' mathematics, reading, and science literacy in more than 70 countries and educational jurisdictions. Science is the major subject area in 2015, as it was in 2006. PISA 2015 also includes a collaborative problem solving assessment and an optional financial literacy assessment. U.S. 15-year-old students participated in this optional assessment. Data from the 2015 assessment will be available in December 2016.
The most recent PISA results are from 2012 and are available here. The PISA 2012 financial literacy results were released in July 2014 and are available here. More information about PISA and resources, including the OECD's PISA reports, PISA assessment frameworks, and international data files, are available at the OECD's website.

By Tom Philpott: Military Update
Defense Department officials say it's time users of military health care pay a greater share of rising medical costs, perhaps through higher co-payments and enrollment fees that haven't been raised since TRICARE, the military's managed care program, began a decade ago.
In an interview, Dr. William Winkenwerder, Jr., assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said he and other senior defense officials, alarmed by a doubling of military health care costs over the last five years, are discussing ways to slow the growth with military leaders and Congress.
Those talks, he suggested, include a range of options to raise out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries.
In 1995, when the triple-option TRICARE plan began to be phased in for retirees and family members, enrollment fees for TRICARE Prime, the managed care option, were set at $230 a year for an individual and $460 for family coverage. They have not changed.
Retiree and family member co-payments have been frozen too at $12 for a visit to a civilian doctor and $11 for a day for hospitalization. In fact, five years ago Congress eliminated all TRICARE Prime co-payments for active-duty family members. Their co-payments for inpatient care also ended.
Medical care for active duty members is free and will not change. Regarding fees for retirees and family members, Winkenwerder declined to discuss any specific option under review. Other sources said the menu being studied includes not only higher TRICARE Prime fees and co-payments but possibly an enrollment fee for users of TRICARE Standard, the military's traditional fee-for-service option; payouts or buyouts to entice beneficiaries to use other health insurance options; a plan to combine any higher fees and co-pays with the offer of tax-deferred military Health Savings Accounts.
Winkenwerder indicated that stagnant fees and co-pays have been a factor in rising health costs, encouraging many younger retirees working in second careers to use TRICARE rather than employer-provided health insurance. With TRICARE, retirees under 65 see average out-of-pocket costs of about $700 a year, he said, versus $3,800 or so if they use employer-provided insurance. That gap is growing and has led to a steady migration of retirees and families into TRICARE and away from private sector options.
In 2000, Winkenwerder said, 60 percent of retirees under 65 relied on TRICARE. Today, the figure is 72 percent and rising two to three points a year. It is expected to hit 85 percent by 2010.
Reliance on TRICARE, said Winkenwerder, is being encouraged by civilian employers, including some state governments. Alabama, Nebraska, the Carolinas and Washington now entice employees who are retired military to rely on TRICARE by offering to cover their fees and co-pays with TRICARE "supplemental'' insurance.
The biggest rise in military health care costs, however, has involved the elderly, through TRICARE for Life (TFL) and TRICARE Senior Pharmacy benefits begun in 2001. Before Congress enacted these plans, beneficiaries eligible for Medicare saw access to a guaranteed military health benefit end. As the department phased in managed care, the "greatest generation'' of World War II and Korean War retirees also were being squeezed out of base hospital and clinics, denied what they saw as a promise of free lifetime care.
Congress responded by passing TFL, a "golden'' supplement to Medicare that pays almost all health costs that Medicare won't. TFL and a new senior pharmacy benefit now cover 1.7 million beneficiaries. The combined cost in 2005 is $6 billion and will rise to $9 billion by 2010.

Philadelphia Phillies (56-46) at Washington Nationals (44-58)
Roy Oswalt (6-12, 3.43 ERA) vs. Craig Stammen (2-4, 5.50 ERA)
Time: 7:05, Nationals
Weather: Sunny, 85 Degrees
TV: CSN Philly
Follow Twitter here
The Phillies have put together a nice eight game winning streak, putting themselves ten games over .500. It's been awhile since the Phillies found themselves at that mark, but they are also closing in on the gap in the division and wild card (2.5 GB in the National League East; 1.5 GB in the Wild Card). Now, they have another ace on the mound, and facing a very sweep-able last place team. The Phillies even lucked out by not seeing Stephen Strasburg this series. Things keep getting better and better. Other teams should start to worry.
The last time the Phillies were in Washington, Roy Halladay made his Phillies debut. Now, another Roy will be doing the same. Newly acquired Roy Oswalt will make his first start as a Phillie, after waiving his no-trade clause in a trade that sent J.A Happ and two minor leaguers to Houston.
Oswalt is 6-12 this season, but don't let that record fool you. The Astros are not a good team, and failed to give Oswalt run support. Hence why wins aren't a good stat to use to determine how good a pitcher is. Oswalt has a good ERA of 3.42 and WHIP of 1.11. He averages about two walks, seven hits, and eight strikeouts per nine innings, having a respectable walks/strikeout ratio. He does not surrender the long ball often.
Oswalt finished in the top 5 in the Cy Young voting five times in his ten-year career. His repertoire consists of a fastball, curveball, changeup, and a slider. His curveball is his best off-speed pitch.
On the flip side, Craig Stammen goes for Washington. The 26-year old did not make it through six innings in his last five starts. He has struggled heavily against the Phillies, having an ERA over 15 in two starts.
Nine in a row would be sweet for the Phillies. Perhaps even sweeter because Roy Oswalt is a Phillie, and at a steal.

Who is pitching for the Phils? Never heard of ths guy.
Called up from the minors?
I am nicknaming him Lee Harvey.
D Brown betting 6th and starting in my fantasy lineup. havent had a Phillie in years.
Lets hope that Big Brown and Dom Brown do some serious damage with the bats tonight.
No Chris Wheeler for me tonight. Live in DC so I am forced to watchthe Nats feed. the play by play guy stinks for them. But I like dibble alot.
First pitch gives up a triple? Get rid of this bum.
Not a good way to start off,but you can't judge him on first pitch…the nats announcer gotta be worst in mlb…I'd listen to wheeler over them anytime their terrible…
I swear I just saw Cole smirking a little.
lets go phils, Lets get Roy#2 some runs
Look at the phils offense imoressing the new pitcher already,
D Brown called out on a pitch 3 feet inside.
Color wise I like dibble more than Wheeler. Dibble can be very tough on the nats. the play by play guy for the nats is the worst. But I have no choice the black out the non hometown feed. since I live 15 miles from DC I get the Nats feed only.
Somehow Peter Angelos the orioles owner owns the broadcast rights to the Nats. So I am happy to at least have Dibble.
Angelos is the worst owner in sports.
Roy #2 is used to not getting any runs scored for him though.
So it shouldnt be suprising.
I get CSN and MASN, i can choose between both
The Nats announcer informed us that no that wasnt a hit when Oswalt got thrown out at first by the right fielder. Very Wheels like.
And Dibble just called Roy Oswalt Roy Halladay
Thats a quarter in the jar.
How is that a hit?
WOW put dobbs at third. I questioned that as soon as I saw the line up.
Dibble called that as bad a play as you will EVER see in the major leagues. i wonder is Wheels was critical.
Roy O. welcome to the keystone cops I guess.
I get the feeling Roy and Chooch are not on the same page yet.
Great job, Ruben Amaro. At what point do the police investigate him for accepting a bribe to ruin the Phillies? Hello third place.
Dibble has a tendency to be overly critical, he gets on my nerves
Braves beating reds 1-0
Geez Raul is up to .270 I think. Thats 2-2
what are you talking about bureacuratist. get your mom home before 10. we stole this guy. nerves tonight. better then happ. much better. plus 11 million. we wont have to pay him 20 plus million a year like lee.
that pitch was at his feet. wow. the nats are aweful but play us hard. this pitcher should get rocked like burea…sis
looked like a ball to me Ryan
very bad call on the third strike vs Howard
Ryan Howard needs a day off
TMac, would you PLEASE quit mentioning Cliff Lee? It's like the 5th time he's brought him up…knock it off!!!!
Phils lead league in avg attendence. Deserve to have a big pay roll and big name front line guys.
Memo to Roy Oswalt
When the phillies face a skell pitcher like Stammen who has been demoted and brought back up again recently he is going to look good.
Ibanez is the only Phillie who is hitting tonight. LET'S GO TEAM !!!!
Left handed batters step a few inches back the Umpire is giving this skell pitcher 3 inches inside.
I don't like this ump
thr strike zone this umps got is horrible and inconsistent…
You're dreaming, Jeff. I lived in Houston 2008-09 seasons, and Texas for a decade before that, following the Astros (second to the Phillies) that whole time. He's a hick. He's not mentally tough. How do you think the fans and media are going to react to this outing tonight? And then he's going to crumble. I wish it weren't so.
Cmon Brown lol
reality bites.
Yet another scrub pitcher-who can't get anybody else in the league out- DOMINATINg the Phillies.
Deja vu.
Its happened how many times this year?
too many.
The phils have a habit of making teribble pitcher look good like this guy who they should be rocking..
Obviously this had a big chance to be a let down game.
But still this is Craig Stamman. Lets get the bats workign guys.
hey teejvee. how many have we won in a row. moron. and bur what do you do for a living? nothing with mlb. go back to walmart, your shift starts soon.
Greg Dobbs shouldn't be allowed to play in the big leagues
LOL @ beauracrat
Yea this should be the end of the Oswalt era. The trade deadline isnt for 28 more hours. Who could we land for Oswalt?
How about JA Happ and a player to be named?
Dobbs shouldnt be allowed to start at 3rd in a game when a pitcher has just moved to a team.
Oswalt is sure making you and Amaro look like geniuses, Jeff. And I'm way off. This was obviously a great deal. If you want the bullpen pitching in the fourth inning every fifth day, this was the right move, you couldn't be more on it.
Sorry. I know I'm overreacting. I just can't tolerate this crappy play. It's especially frustrating when Oswalt gives up hits on his slider and change, which are WAY inferior to his fastball and curveball.
your a moron. the guy just got into philly. yea oswalt only pitches 4 innings. he is a innings eater. jerk
Phillies —on the road. Not good.Can't beat anybody.
will end up being their waterloo. Mets and braves never lose at home
reds are beating braves. teejvee where do you live. i would really love to meet. same with three of my friends. please tell us.
oh Well .I think we can say howard's officially in a slump. lst 4 games the Ab's have been brutal outside of fluke homer vs BP scrub.
last nine starts oswalt pitched pitched 7 plus innings six times. that so bad. moron
Oswalt might get ejected tonight
Maybe I am being a jerk, but Oswalt is averaging the same number of innings per start as Jamie Moyer, the man he is basically replacing. I'll never understand, Jeff, why Phillies fans like you (assuming you are a genuine Phillies fan) want to spend their time and energy attacking other Phillies fans.
lifetime 3.24 era with with 1600 k. yea he is terrible.
your not a phillies fan.
143-82 with alot of bad houston teams. god he is just terrible. do not compare him to jaime moyer. moyer is mostly a batting practice pitcher
Maybe Jimmy needs another day off
How's he doing tonight, Jeff?
Little more patience would of been nice rollins…
is brian michael on here ? i bought 2 tickets and tailgate on paypal just wanted to make the tickets are there for me?
you are so right. you know we should sit him. he is terrilbe. what a waste. your a moron. i guess your watching the phillies tonight since the jersey shore is not on.
Jimmy Rollins should be batting 6th. He has the hitting approach of a 10 year old little leaguer. Swinging at the first pitch when Stammen is struggling to find the zone makes me want to puke…it's just stupid. He and Manuel are the Phillies version of Dumb and Dumber. Watching Rollins bat year after year is painful.
Giving Oswalt the benefit of the doubt
If Oswalt doesn't give up any more runs, the loss cannot be pegged on him. The offense looks listless tonight. Like, "Meh, it's the Nats, we're on auto-pilot." Not gonna cut it.
well this game is over….
Welcome to Philly Oswalt, the home of little run support and good fielding the night Great pitchers pitch!
also get rid of DOBBS!!!! Like TOMORROW!
Oswalt is a top 3 pitcher since 2000.
Some of the stuff here gets ridicules.
whatever happens
Hard to win with 0 runs.
5-0 Nats
The phils should be scoring 10 vs the Nats and this SP. I mean hell they traded thier closer yesterday. Phils should be scoring.
Also you cant win every game. Duh
I am worried, looks a lot like his last start he had with the Astros
I think we can blame all these problem on Greg Dobbs
Get him out of there Charlie.
Its all too much for him. Tonight. He needs to get in the groove.
Andrew totally agree this team needs to learn pound lesser teams like the Nats. I mean after Livian Hernandez, Maybe Olsen and Strasburg, it is AA-AAA pitching at best
On the other hand the Nats did take 2 of 3 from the Braves
THis is OUR inning lets do it Polly
Well if we dont come back here maybe the reds can take care of the braves….Can not win them all!
Yea dobbs needs to go asap I'll stick to polly at 3rd and valdez at 2nd…
we can't win them all, but we can put in an effort.
Peace, peace. Jesus Christ, the last thing I want is to fight with Phillies fans, of all people. Y'all are supposed to be my brethren. I was just expressing my opinion. I'm just frustrated and angry to see the Phillies playing so poorly and listlessly against a bad team that is looking to trade away all its best players.
True dat but I think I can speak for Andrew and I, we live in the DC area…. don't want to hear the locals talking about how the "handled the Phillies"
this is depressing
Yeah this is ugly I am going to do so need chores maybe they will wake up by the time my laundry is done
typical phillies on the road not good enough with the bat
Looks like the winning streak may end tonight. I would have liked to see it go to at least 10. Am i being greedy? As for Oswalt? I saw this coming, honestly. His numbers against the Nats haven't been so great. The offense has taken the night off anyway. Bad night. He will come out and do better in his next start, no need to panic.
Its not road its poorness of the starter
I am not kidding. If I was an NL playoff team. I would bring up all my skell pitchers in a playoff series vs the phillies.
Think abotu it. They bring up 3 soft tossers from the minors. The Phils would get swept. In the playoffs you face the other teams best pitchers. thats why this team is a playoff team.
@ phils
Indeed, in recent years the Phillies have been good on the road, but for some reason they are not playing well on the road at all this year.
Big rallies start at the bottom of the order …
ugh, braves have the bases loaded no out and a tie game
I don't think they should have pitched Oswalt even if it was he's day in the rotation. The guy had to fly from Huston to Philadelphia then on to DC and throw to a catcher he's not familiar with. The Phillies look like they're going back to their old was again by not being able to hit anything and making stupid misplays like throwing to third with no one there. And, why in the heck is Dobbs playing tonight? Polanco should be at third, Rollins at short and Valdez can play second. Dobbs is such a waste. Also, Werth looks terrible at the plate and Howard is 0 for seven in his last seven at bats. Scheeeeesh!!!! Come on guys … ya gotta keep playing good baseball.
Maybe they'll get to the nats bullpen well see just doesn't look like their night…the nats are a joke,but always play us hard for some reason…
Francisco? Not Gload?
Nats fans arent obnoxious yet. This is a band wagon city. The worst fans in the world IMO. Once they get good they will be very obnoxious and I thnk the nats will be good soon. this year Id rather face the Mutts even. The Mutts you know wont try. They all love the Caps now etc etc. It will get annoying when the nats contend. Washington fans will never have my repect though. But they are harmless. They just dont know sports.
Can we all agree that this lineup SUCKS BALLZ tonight!
I would have rather Manuel conseed the fact that our bench sucks and had Oswalt hit, then watch Francisco get overmatched by a bushleaguer
The offense struglle tomorrorw prolly too nats just said some guy ross detwiler will be going and is making his 2nd start since coming back from minors…why can't this lineup just hit garbage pitching?
Wait. which one of these teams is a last place loser listlessly playing out the string and which is a playoff contender allegedly energized by a new pitcher and arrival of big prospect?
and Dobbs both need to go
Sam did you see the stats?
The NAts own Oswalt.
Andrew, come over the Potomac, Nova Washington fans are obnoxiously annoying in a totally different way.
You are right right now they are all talking about how they think the Redskins are going to go 14-2 and make the Super Bowl. ON the Mike Wise show on 106.7 the fan he spent good part of an Hour telling everyone that the Skins were going to do that, Can't wait to move:)
oh did I mention that Howard is officially in the tank.
Yeah it happens that fast. Especially on this team where inconsistency and slumps are the rule not the exception.
He's been horrid the past 5 games outside of a fluke dinger against a bullpen scrub.
Durbin needs to be better
this team is so predictable I called that 3rd pitch from my computer… ball in the dirt
this team is a mess
did they forget that they are fighting for a playoff spot?
Good lord our bullpen is awful
Okay I am out enough of this crap….. Roger Bernadina a double …. really????
Losing is one thing, playing like complete crap is ridiculous
Lets hope for a better tomorrow
I can't believe the Washington Nationals are kicking the Phillies ass on Roy Oswalt's first start and third rate starting pitcher for the Nationals. Only the Phillies. And what is with Durbin lately. Oy…our bullpen needs some upgrades.
sorry just frustrated with this garbage… at least play with some heart thats all I ask
i woke up this morning thinking come sunday thinking hey we could be half a game ahead god how i was wrong
I am so frustrated with watching Amaro be a weak GM. Everyone is saying how cheap we got Oswalt and we practically stole him…but why did we even want him? We stole something we didnt want or need. Our starters were fine, we started winning games when our lineup starting hitting. What we NEEDED was a bullpen arm. The first time I even heard the Phillies were interested in Oswalt I was instantly saying no no no. We didnt need him, no body shouldve wanted him and I think a lot of people are going to be agreeing with me when October rolls around, whether were not playing, or our bullpen will be losing games.
Yokd think while ruin is out getting another pitcher he'd look into relief pitching because boy do thet need help in the pen..
7-1 Nats. This is incredible!!! The Nats are kicking the Phillies rear ends like they're the ones chasing the Braves. The Phillies are at it again … with the exception of Polanco … they all look like they have no life tonight. And, I agree with ChuckS …. Dobbs needs to go!! If it wasn't for the Phillies … he'd be playing stick ball on some dead end street with a bunch of kids and popping up .
Stuart, as I am not 100% in agreement, you have a point.
Victorino hitting the DL wasn't good but the pure fact we have Greg " I am not a Roy" Hobbs makes me pissed off
Oswalt gets a pasa, he didnt lool settled at all today and they didnt hit for him. Hell be fine next time out. Yankees got Berkman…Phils not done yet anyway.
turned it off as soon as howard swung and miss oh well tomorrow should or MUST be better
oh by the way just to end the night on a high J.A Happs only allowed one hit tonight which is nice
Phillies showing that they did not mentally show up tonight. Never was one who cared much for Durbin; is serving up lollipops out there tonight. Ruizs' error on throw to third base with nobody covering was big turning point in game; how can you throw to a base when it is not being covered? Looked like he threw without even checking for Dobbs being there. Agree with Sam who posted that it might have been too soon to throw Oswalt out there. Should have given the guy a breather, a extra day since his last start with Houston, to recover from all that he went through and had to do yesterday after being traded. Clearly was not sharp with his control. "Stinker" of a game and probably end of winning streak. Lets hope that the Reds knock off the Braves so no ground is lost tonight. I believe that Oswalt will be fine at the time of his next start.
roy's stuff wasn't that bad. what drives me insane are two things. one the shady bp. people talk about the back end all the time. nothing new there. was is new is the horrible middle relief. that was the one area the phillies bp always seemed to excel at. no longer. the 2nd and most important, is the poor abs. you could see them kinda slipping back into that mood last nite vs the d-backs. the home crowd prevented them from doing it all out. on the road though they're right back at it. wtf?? it starts with Jimmy. He's the team leader and the lead-off guy. He has a rookie in Brown watching him closely… and this dude continues to have poor abs. especially early in the game when he is supposed to be setting the tone. it's not all his fault. but he talks so much smack in between games about setting the tone, but he rarely backs it up. drives me nuts. it's only one game, but this game signifies what plaques this offense.
lee tried the same stunt before his 1st with Texas. The whole pick me me up at the airport routine.and he got rocked.not exacty the same with oswalt, but it wasn't that far off. i agree. oswalt needed a little time to settle in, speak more with carlos ruiz, etc. is it me or is carlo ruiz's location selection costing this team a great deal at times.
Ryan Howard … 0-5 last night …. 0-4 tonight …. Jimmy Rollins swings at first pitches … won't he ever learn? Did anyone tell Durbin relief pitchers are supposed to get people out? Francisco must be taking batting tips from Dobbs. Speaking of Dobbs, he looks like crap as usual …. oppps …. he just popped up again!!! Need I say more? Winning streak has ended 8-1 … I guess we just got tired of chasing the Braves and began to play lifeless baseball again.
Roy was not ready, nats havw good numbers with him anyway, mightve been best to start him tomorrow. Hedisnt know ruiz at all either,notime to work w him.
But the offense was inexcuaably bad, except for brown. They need a rh infield bat who can cover for utley and rollins. Thats first priority to trade for now. A relief arm only after that maybe an august waiver trade.
I am loving what I've been reading from (formerly negative) Jeff!
You go man!
And I agree with most here, Dobbs needs to start selling ice cream. Put Ransom on third base.. He's a righty, remembers how to hit…
This was a dud but its over. Tomorrow a new day and we are facing another unknown.. Let's hope Cheeseburger is revved up.
I really think Oswalt was just kinda rushed into this. I mean, Cliff Lee's first start as a Ranger he got bombed by the Orioles of all teams. Plus you can't blame all of those runs on him (Chooch's pathetic error) But, our offense, why can't we hit on the road? I'm really hoping tonight was just an off-night…
Howard is 5 for his last 30. (.150)
Ton of ks.
Not against good pitcher either.
Picked a real bad time to go in the tank, because we all know once he goes, he doesn't mess around.
:ut, our offense, why can't we hit on the road? I'm really hoping tonight was just an off-night…"
except it's happened almost all year on the road.
dobbs is no longer an mlb talent. get'em a seat next to ricky bo.. no one expected the phils to win 25 in a row. but we do expect them to play hard and smart baseball nite in and nite out. not just when they're backs are against the wall. They crushed this clown 2x already this season. good news reds tied it up 4-4.
Stuart criticizes Amaro for making the Oswalt deal and somehow I'm the bad guy? I don't get this board.
Reds just tied up the Braves and are threatening …
In this game, the way it was played, it looked like the Nats were in second place and the Phils were last in the division.
I agree with you, repeat, and it is Manuel and Gregg Grosses' responsibility to keep the team from sliding back into the old bad batting habits.
Had been awhile since the Phils last played Washington. Washington has a number of different players in their lineup since they last seen the Phils; Bernadina, Morgan and Kennedy. You are right, from watching the game, it looked like Ruiz had poor pitch selection/location called for these guys. It is just unbelievable that they let a guy like Kennedy hang a 4 for 5 night on them. Bad pitch to first Washington batter up tonight, Morgan, for the triple, set the tone for their team tonight.
The Phillies sportcast also thought that Roy Oswalt should have been given a day or two to settle in and become familiar with his new team before pitching. They mentioned, which most do not consider … that the guy is involved in trade talks the other day, signs with a new team, has to uproot his family, doesn't know anyone but Brad Lidge when he gets here, is not familiar with Carlos Ruiz, had to make a trip from Huston to Philly to DC and arrived late last night. Charlie should have had more sense then to pitch him. He should have flip flopped Oswalt and Blantion. I blame Charlie for not using his head again.
These criticisms of Charlie for starting Roy tonight seem exactly correct to me. I hadn't thought of that. I think we can all agree that Charlie's no on-the-field tactical genius. When he gets this off-the-field stuff wrong, too, it really makes you wonder what he's doing managing a major league ballclub.
Exactly right. SAM and bureaucratist, I wholehearted agree. This loss is on Manuel and Dubee. Blanton would have been the better selection. Has a fresher arm than Oswalt since had been out earlier in the season. Why the rush with Oswalt? Should have started him on Saturday.
This is not really a problem. This is 1 loss in the last 9 games – tough situation to be in eh?
Sta tof the night. The nats are 19-18 vs the NL east and the Phillies are 15-18.
Nats like to play spoiler and the team is coming together. This wont be an easy series.
Atlanta is tied 4-4 with the reds in the 9th.
When you score 1 run does it matter who starts?
Now Roy gets to get assimilatedfor 5 days. Come on everyone. You all including Charlie thought it would be easy pickings for Oswalt and the phils.
Unless one of you can point out that you thought he should have not started tonight before the game started.
It is Manuel's lob to keep the guys motivated and not let down against teams like Washington. The Phillies players have to realize that an up and coming team like Washington is going to lay it all on the line against them out there and they need to be ready for that.
yeah mikeb, unfortunately that seems to be the case with this team. they can be very arrogant at times. only one game, but the bad habits need to addressed including fines, benchings and in-game warnings by Cholly in plain site for everyone to see. . patience is the only thing that really separates the Yank's O from ours.
we all were to caught up in the moment to give a damn or thought. im not mad at cholly. and you're right, they lose this game with Cy Young on the mound.
OH you guys will love this.
JA 6 IP 2 hits O ER and 6 Ks
gets the win and Houston shuts out the Brewers.
ATL- CIN top of 10th 4-4
JA Happ that is LOL
was dealing
I agree with MikeB. I think the Phillies thought all they had to do was show up tonight and the Nats (a last place team) would fold. I blame Charlie for their lackadasical performance. He has to drum into the Phillies heads that every team is out to knock them off. Has anyone watched Jimmy Rollins expressions and play lately? He's supposed to be the leader on this team and he looks and acts like he has little or no spirit at all? What's up with that?
Braves score 2 off Cordero in top of tenth
up 6-4
Bad night for the phils.
Prado got hurt scoring the second run for the Braves.
The nationals play us tough because they got nothing to lose,we do…their going nowhere and won't be for at least a few more years…the phils should have rocked the guy that pitched tonight and should rock the guy they got pitchin tomorrow,but this lineup makes bad pitchers look good…like jeff of nova said earlier,most of the nats pitcher except a few are guys who should be in minor league…btw braves lead reds 6-4 10th inning now…
Atlanta my not be better than the Phils on paper but seem to have that mental toughness, an area where the Phils have their shortcomings at times. Rollins may be too over-confident at times which reflects in his actions. Needs to worry about himself, learn to work pitchers, lay off first pitches and choose better pitches to hit; like many of them need to do. Get out of the HR frame of mind and swinging for the fences. Draw walks and play some small ball when the situations call for it.
Atlanta won but Wagner is no better than Ledge maybe worse.
It will tough to over take ATL this isnt the same old sorry ass Mets. wish it was but they have already given up the ship. They did that as soon as Beltran came back.
Yeh, the last Reds hitter, Stubbs, swung and missed at what would have been ball 4. Wagner was lucky in that the Reds did not have any of their top hitters coming up to bat. Maybe tomorrow will be a different story.
Stubbs is like 1 for his last 31 is hitting under 230.
I know I picked him up wehn Mccutchean was banged up like 10 days ago and he has 1 hit since then.

bureaucratist, you said that you think Amaro took a bribe to ruin the Phillies, I said it was a bad move. You are the bad guy because you say stupid things. I had reasoning behind my argument and I explained it all, you on the other hand, did not.
Pingback: Theriot | Aquarian Publishing
Lets face it wagner is probably better than Ledge. I think Wagner sucks but the rest of the Braves pen is impressive. the Phils biggest weakness is a big strength for the Braves. I dont like it. And when the pen blows leads or gives up inherited runers or just overall sucks it does damage more than just the numbers and the loss. It does mental damage. I really wish the Phils could have gotten one or 2 of these relievers.

The Three Rivers City Council approved the purchase of a new fire truck to replace the current 1990 model on May 13. The council also approved the implementation of an automated water meter reading replacement program, starting with the oldest water meters in town then transitioning over the entire city.
The current 23-year-old pumper fire truck is due for replacement, according to Three Rivers Fire Chief Bobby Joe Stewart.
Forehand said the council put approval of the new fire truck into the hands of the mayor and city attorney once Stewart finds a model that meets the city's needs.
Stewart's plan for the new fire truck is to get a new regular pumper truck and then add foam spraying capabilities to it.
"You can also fight structure fires with foam and it puts it out quicker," Stewart said. "Plus foam is also used on hydrocarbon and oil fires in case someone was to have a spill or an incident where we need to foam something down right away."
In order to spray foam with their current truck, the Three Rivers firefighters have to add an attachment to the hose; which adds to their response time, according to Stewart.
"I raised issue about a ladder truck because we have hotels looking to build a four-story (building)," said council member Murrell Foster, who also serves as executive director of the chamber of commerce.
Stewart said he didn't know of any four-story buildings coming to Three Rivers at this time, but there are ways of fighting fires without a ladder truck. He said a ladder truck would double or even triple the cost of the truck and would require more training for the local firefighters.
The price cap for the new truck is $350,000 and fire department currently has $90,000 in a CD, according to Stewart. He is also applying for grants and hopes for local donations so the city doesn't have to foot the rest of the bill.
Stewart plans on contacting vendors soon and hopes to have a new fire truck selected within the next few weeks.
Just like with the fire truck's foam sprayer, the upgraded water meters are also intended to save time.
The meters can be read simply by driving down the street while a computer scans them. Once the information is taken in, it will be placed onto the city hall's computer, according to Three Rivers Public Works Director Rocky Mendez.
"It would cut the reading time. It takes the guys four to five days to read all of them," Mendez said. "They should be able to read them all in half a day (once all the meters are switched), which would free them up to do other work."
Foster said the meters will look for leaks within homes and the city's water line as well.
The meters will be supplied by H.D. Supply from Corpus Christi and will be similar to the system in George West.
"I think that it's going to be helpful. It's going to be faster and more accurate and definitely an upgrade for the city," city clerk Rosie Forehand said.

Cain Moss found guilty in drug overdose, body dumping trial
A jury found Cain Moss guilty of first degree reckless homicide and hiding a corpse.
Moss delivered the drugs that killed 40-year-old Anthony Ducharme and dumped his body in a north side park on August 4, 2011.
Jurors began deliberation around 11:15 a.m. and reached their verdict at about 1:15 p.m. They heard testimony from Monday through Thursday in La Crosse County Court.
Prosecutors said Moss and his girlfriend, Christina Lorenz, bought a Fentanyl patch, a narcotic painkiller, and gave it to Ducharme at Moss's father's home. The prosecution says Ducharme overdosed on that drug after taking just one hit.
Cain Moss, his father, Robert Moss, and their friend Patrick Valiquette are accused of then dumping Ducharme's body in Red Cloud Park.
Robert Moss pleaded no contest to party to the crime of hiding a corpse. He was sentenced to a year in prison followed by two years' extended supervision.
Lorenz pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree reckless homicide and was sentenced to four years in prison. A party to the crime of hiding a corpse charge against Lorenz was dismissed.
