The Phillies aren't the greatest during inter league play. Heck, the National League has always been looked at as the inferior league. The Red Sox came into town in sort of the same boat as the Phillies. They are a team with a lot of talent that has seen injuries plague the early start of this season.
Anyways, we have Cole Hamels. Hamels won his sixth game in a row. This is the first time in his career he has done that. The Phillies put him out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and although the Red Sox battled back, Jonathan Papelbon saved his 12th game in as many chances for a 6-4 Phillies win.
Ace in the bucket – There is no need to tell Cole what he is pitching for this season. Hamels is a free agent when this season is over and he is showing the Phillies front office why they should keep him around. The lefty struck out nine batters in seven innings. He gave up three earned runs, which included two solo home runs.
Patience is a virtue – Three out of the first four hitters for the Phillies drew walks in the first inning. They would eventually go on to score four runs in the inning with only gathering one hit. The Phillies drew six walks in the game. Jimmy Rollins now has six walks in his last five games. Before that he only had seven all season.
Choochtastic – Carlos Ruiz went 2-for-3 tonight and continues to 'impress' everyone. Ruiz has always been known as the catcher behind Hamels, Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. This season he is showing off his bat in the first 40 games of the season. Chooch has 14 hits and 10 RBIs in his last eight games and leads all catchers in batting average, hits and home runs.
Launching pad – There were five home runs hit in tonight's game. I won't even touch on the Boston bombs but Freddy Galvis and Hunter Pence took Red Sox pitching deep. It was Glavis' second homer of the season and Pence's 5th inning shot put him in double digits for the season.
Keep it going – The Phillies won their sixth game in a row and have now won eight of their last nine since being swept by the Mets. Like I said, Papelbon saved his 12th game of the season against his former team. The Phillies will send Joe Blanton to the hill tomorrow to take on Jon Lester.

Just a fantastic ballgame. Freddy Galvis is heading in the right direction with the bat his last 7-10 games. Pence for all his faults, is still trending toward 40 bombs and 112 RBI at the quarter pole.
They could use more than 6 hits, but it's hard to find fault with this game tonight.
Chooch is just coming through in every clutch situation this year. His calendar must say October. I mean the guy should be getting MVP consideration not just an all star game bid.
My only complaint is that J-Roll and Shane have to pick it up. Chooch cant continue to hit .400 all season long. Pence is showing sings of life but its too soon to tell with him yet.
When Utley comes back you sit Galvis?
You have to. You just signed Jimmy for 3 more years. (insert gag icon)
with his 6 RBI in 177 plate appearneces mainly in the 3 hole.
Then you have Galvis with 16 RBI with 128 plate appearences hitting 8th.
If I live to be a million I will never understand why he wasnt simply allowed to walk away.
One of my biggest fears was this team started clicking or got some chemistry going and some of the old prima donnas come back to blow it.
Galvis and Chooch.
Underpaid non prima donnas trying their asses off.
Whod have thunk it?
Dont worry the big boys will be back soon to rejoin J Roll and you guys can be happy.
And the good times will roll.
You know, these things have a way of working out. Jimmy seems to be very healthy year to date. That doesn't match his history. It's an unpredictable thing, but depth is good.
Galvis comes across as very level headed. This probably wouldn't have been a big factor, but while there's been pressure on him to fill in for Chase, had he been saddled with the assignment of replacing a vanished Jimmy, that's a lot of pressure, and maybe he's playing less effectively.
Maybe we'll see some open competition for the SS job next spring. Even that seems a little liberal for the Phils, but if Galvis keeps rolling, and gets as far as to force their hand, it's a helluva job by the young man.
Jeez, RBI have very little to do with the actual hitter. Repeat after me: RBI IS A TEAM STAT!
Freddy's average is merely .006 higher than Jimmy's average. The difference in RBI totals is entirely due to Jimmy generally coming to the plate with nobody on base while Galvis is coming to the plate with Carlos Ruiz on base nearly every time. Galvis is not as good an offensive player as Rollins
Come back to this discussion when both guys have like 400 AB. You'll almost undoubtedly see that Rollins has better numbers than Galvis, and it likely won't even be that close.
Andrew what i do worry about if and when Utley/Howard will come back both will be rusty. Both of these players would need at least a 80-90 AB's before getting into the swing of things. Therefore theres a possibility of the team stalling some espeically if J-Roll and Shane dont pick up the pace. I do think RAJ seriously considered letting Jimmy walk. He just didnt have any suitable options. Reyes was too expensive and most people didnt see him fitting in with this club. Furcal is even more injury prone than Rollins and possibly Polanco. Then you have Galvis who 2 years ago could barely hit AA pitching. To cut it short one can only hope that J-Roll at least gives us a .260 BA. However he has been looking dreadful and one starts to wonder. I still think we can 2 good more years out of Jimmy.
Firstly, not to be maudlin or corny BUT hats off to the Kerry Wood, who may have had the greatest stuff EVER before he blew his arm out. I think it was God's way of saying "you just can't pitch like that, son". Happy trails.
To echo AFW….an average or poor team that hits a hot streak can be a dangerous thing. If you believe that the Phils need to be retooled, then this hot streak just serves to delay what inevitably should happen – a retooling of the offense. The ole "suspension of disbelief", if you will. IF you think this O is good and is only now starting to come around, then you expected this and you are happy.
Last night I saw the Phils making Bard use up is arm by taking pitches. If thats the way they will approach the offensive game play night in and night out, I'm gonna feel a lot better. Go Phils!
The Dipsy
While I VERY highly doubt he had the best stuff ever, it wasn't God ruining his body, it was his High School coach and Dusty Baker.
He once threw 146 pitches in the first game of a double header in high school. Then he started the second game. And he had done that regularly. When he was 18 and younger. That's just abuse
And it didn't help that when he got to the big leagues he ran into perhaps the worst manager at keeping young arms under wraps. He routinely let Wood throw in excess of 120 pitches, which is something you limit on young players. He almost undoubtedly shortened the career of Kerry Wood and derailed that of Mark Prior.
That being said, throwing a baseball as hard as he did puts enormous strains on body parts which are often not able to withstand it. Joel Zumaya is an example. It takes a freak of nature to be able to throw a baseball nearly 100 miles per hour, and it takes another freak of nature (like Verlander, for example) to have a body that doesn't break down while doing so. Basically you need a few standard deviations above average athletic ability coupled with a few standard deviations above physical durability. Those guys are just exceedingly rare, so young power arms really need to be treated with kid gloves. Dusty Baker (and Wood's HS coach) apparently don't own a pair of kid gloves, and that's a shame.
I agree 99.9%. My only beef is that Prior, although not helped any by Dusty Baker, mainly ruined his shoulder in a collision with the Braves second baseman. It didn't show right away, so naturally he was still being used and doing yet more damage to it.
Verlander is still young and could still wreck his arm. The true freaks are those guys like Nolan Ryan, who was still a power pitcher into his mid forties, or any of those other pitchers who lasted forever when teams were using four man rotations. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of abuse Walter Johnson's arm must have withstood in his 400+ wins.
Yeah, I think both contributed to Prior's issues. In September of 2003, and after returning from the injury due to the collision with Giles, Prior pitched in 6 games. His pitch counts were: 131, 129, 109, 124, 131, 133. Then, in October, Prior threw another 3 games, 23.1 innings with pitch counts of 133, 116, and 119.
For a 22 year old kid, a couple months removed from an injury, and in his second big league season, and pitching far more innings than he ever had in any single season, that's really irresponsible. He went from pitching 167 innings (minors + MLB) in 2002 to 234 innings in '03.
While Ryan was a one-in-a-lifetime kind of pitcher, Walter Johnson, well…I don't know. I'm sure he was probably in the 99th percentile of baseball athletes for his day, but it's hard to make comparisons going that far back, because the guys he played against were nothing. Even the worst major league teams today would absolutely trounce the 1927 Yankees, for example. I'm sure he threw very hard, for very long, over a lot of innings, and considering what the average person could do at the time, he was probably what they would consider a freak of nature, but if you're also using modern day comparisons it gets difficult to compare. If you put Joe Blanton on the 1910 Washington Senators, he probably doesn't start as many games but posts far better numbers than Johnson did. The average player of that era was just monstrously untalented compared to the average player of today.
Wait a minute. You say it's hard to make comparisons that far back, and yet you categorically state that the worst teams today would "absolutely trounce the 1927 Yankees."
Sounds like a contradiction to me, as does the part about Joe Blanton putting up better numbers than the Big Train. If comparisons are that hard, how can you be so cocksure?
And my point isn't about relative skills of different eras, it's that Johnson was a rarity no matter when he pitched. From first hand accounts, he probably threw in the nineties. He was that much faster than anyone else around. (I think it was Ruth who, when facing Johnson, turned to the ump and complained, "That sounded high.") Winning like he did pitching on every fourth day rather than every fifth is not the norm.
People worry too much about Rollins and Victorino–two historically streaky players. They will pick it up. Rollins is already doing better because he's getting on base with walks.
Those who complain that Rollins doesn't have as many RBIs as Galvis also need to lighten up. Rollins is a leadoff hitter, and leadoff hitters don't get very many RBI opportunities because when they're not leading off, it's the seventh, eighth, and ninth hitters who are usually preceding them. Mayberry and Galvis haven't been on base often, and the pitcher rarely is. Who's he supposed to drive in? If he had had Ruiz batting ahead of him, as Galvis has, maybe he'd have more RBIs.
This "hot streak" is not a dangerous thing; it will keep the team a little closer until Howard and Utley return. The front office will tweak as needed. That's retooling; anything more drastic (like trading Hamels) would be rebuilding. That can wait until the offseason, when some contracts will be off the books anyway, and more prospects might be ready.
George – are you watching the same Phils team? Rollins hitting is a sure indication this team is playing healthy – by that I mean winning. Victorino has pretty much been a steady .280 – 290 hitter all his career. I would not call Vic streaky at all and once these 2 start in their stride things will be better offensively.
If they don't move Rollins to third next season to make room for Freddy, they'd be foolish. That would save them from a tenuous L.T. threshold problem, replacing Polly's 6m with a player already on the books, and also keep Freddy's excellent defense and improving offense on the field. I know that it would be nice to get a prototype power hitting third baseman, but that's going to have to wait a year or until other contracts to fall off and threshold goes up if you want to keep either of our current two FA's.
If JRoll doesn't like it, well life sucks with the sacrifices you have to make to earn 11 f"n million a year.
"If Rollins doesn't like it…" Amateur psychology.
He's played SS his entire career, and might not even make a decent third baseman. I don't think he should even be asked, and it has nothing to do with his attitude as some fan perceives it. It's a matter of trying to get an older player to suddenly change. If he were as young as Hanley Ramirez or ARod when they were asked to move, then I'd consider it. But at Rollins' age, you might just end up with a mediocre third baseman, and if so many people think his hitting stinks, you'd get no improvement there, either. If anyone now on the Phils should be tried at third, it should be Galvis. He's still young enough to maybe do it.
Yeah, while they can ask, they certainly cannot demand that he move there without the potential of stirring up some serious resentment in the locker room. And considering that Rollins is one of the vocal leaders of the team, and the elder statesman in the city, you can't just say, "Shut up and play 3B"
I mean, it's easy to say and do when you're playing Nintendo or whatever, but those electron-guys don't have feelings and emotions that influence how they play.
Beside, Jimmy's still playing a very good SS. Moving him to third would be a waste of his defensive ability.
Exactly. Jimmy can sell hot dogs for all I care. Get him the hell out of the leadoff spot, too. Lefty, the only problem I have with moving JRo to third is that it gives you a third baseman that can't it. And a SS that can't hit. I guess you are counting on Utley being our 2B next year, eh?
The Dipsy
Jimmy would be good at hot dogs. I can see him at the end of an aisle, bun in one hand while fishing in the steam box for a dog. Suddenly the bun "pops up" right out of his hand, while he deftly leans over two rows, catches it and scoops the dog into it right in time.
There is no reason not to bench J Stroll. Galvis has been just as solid defensively and has a hotter bat with better contact. My working theory is rollins became pissed during the off season thinking he was worth at least 70mm for 4-5 seasons and got half what he wanted. The result is him just not trying, acting petulant etc. Bench him. Hell, maybe he'd be a good utility man with off the bench pop late in games.
Wow. Maybe come back to earth sometime, then we'll talk baseball.
Yep, move Galvis to short, and play Mr. NoRange Wigginton at second, or maybe use the marginal bat of Pete Orr. Or how about the highly experienced Luna? He's so good he hasn't been on base since his one homer.
These are BENCH GUYS people. Even if Rollins had an entire bad career, instead of a bad streak early on, he'd still be more qualified to play every day than those other guys.
Dipsy, That's a legit concern. The L.T. is the issue. IMO- They must make a decision to go over (and keep their fan base intact until the new TV deal comes), or not to.
And yes, that circumstance would ONLY work if Utley can return to more than half the player he once was. I have my doubts, but am trying to keep positive. I agree with you that hope is not be a strategy, but for fans, it's all we've got.
Yeah i worry about having a light hitting Galvis at SS, and another aging light hitting former SS at 3rd. Add to that a possibly hobbled Utley at 2B. Im not sure who will take Pollys place though. My theory is that they will use Galvis as a Utility man for next year as well, until he gets more AB and MLB experience under his belt.
The way its going, I might take Polanco on a one year next year. What the hell…he's solid.

Have you ever taken ground balls with two bad knees? Come back when you have.
I see you're new to the board.
Let's hope your stay is brief.
This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday when I related the win streak to increased walks. I mean it's not the be all end all stat to point to but it sure has helped. Keep up the patience!

15 month old Gianna is really giving momma a hard time eating. I try to feed her food before the breast, but she only eats a bite or two. I don't mind nursing, but now that her iron is low, I can't help feeling like I am partially to blame.
We co-sleep, and she night nips. I am home with her, so she has 100% access to momma all day, every day. She never took a bottle, so its the milk, and the comfort that she is looking for.
I was hoping that she would wean herself, and that she would eat what she needed. Now, I have to take this more seriously, because her iron is low. We did a finger test at one year, and another at 15 months. Since her levels dropped, we had a blood test from her arm, that was torture, and needs to be repeated at 18 months.
I would not mind getting a little more sleep, either. . . .
Motherhood is so unfair. . . . first you stress that the baby is not nursing enough, then its that she is nursing too much.

Holistic help for animals; Aid through acupressure and aromatherapy
March 19, 2014 —
SHOHOLA, PA — Folks gathered at a recent seminar on animal acupressure and aromatherapy, given by certified holistic animal practitioner Kristy Boki. All were there because they care—deeply—about the well-being of their dogs.
The session was hosted by the Tri-State Obedience Club in Shohola, PA. Participants were willing to spend four hours with their furry friends in order to learn techniques that would help them tackle health issues ranging from arthritis to anxiety. The group listened closely to Boki, studied diagrams and got to work using ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on their pets.
"I'd like to learn more natural ways of helping my dog, using less chemicals," said Vladimir Klebansky. Others agreed, citing problems with chronic allergies, digestion and more. Boki had ample tools for all to take home, and led off with some examples of pets she has helped with alternative modalities aimed at promoting healing.
Acupressure is a 4,000 year old touch-based system that rebalances energy flow through a non-invasive technique of applying pressure to acupoints along energy lines in the body known as meridians. It can assist in healing short- and long-term health and behavioral issues.
Stimulating some of the 350 acupoints triggers physical responses in the body and energy system that can relieve muscle spasms, release cortisone to diminish swelling, enhance emotional stability, treat behavioral issues, improve immune response and more. It is also complements western medical practices.
Boki noted that health is derived from a state of balance within body, mind and spirit. Further, learning the technique empowers individuals to take charge of the healing process for their pets.
Boki explained that Qi, or life force, circulates through the body via the meridians. Blockages in this flow are the source for disease. She reviewed the Five Elements of TCM (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal) that illuminate a link between the natural world and the body. Each of the elements is associated with an organ system in the body and must work together to prevent imbalance. Constitutional "types" based on the elements can help owners identify health challenges in their pets.

There are two Peace Corps/Russia administrative units: Russia West and Russia East. The Russia West office is located in Moscow and supervises the Volunteers located from the western borders of Russia to the oblast of Krasnoyarsk in the east. The Russia East office, located in Vladivostok, supervises Volunteers from the Irkust oblast to the eastern shoreline including Sakhalin Island. The country director is located in Moscow and a deputy director manages the Vladivostok office.
Status: Presently Inactive
Program Dates: 1992-2003
Volunteers Served: 729
Russia is the largest country in the world measuring 6.5 million square miles. It is 1.8 times the size of the United States. After perestroika and the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1990, the Russian Government implemented a series of major reforms including the introduction of free-market policies, the elimination of most price controls, the reduction of budget subsidies to promote privatization of state-owned enterprises, and the delegation of more responsibilities to local governments. This painful political, social, and economic transformation continues today.
The Peace Corps entered Russia in 1992, bringing Volunteers to assist the development of business in Russia. The Peace Corps programs in Russia were administered out of three offices: one in Saratov, one in Moscow (which did not have Volunteers), and the third in Vladivostok—each with independent operating budgets and staff. In 1995, TEFL Volunteers came to assist university English programs. Also in 1995, the Saratov office closed, and the staff and budget for Saratov and Moscow consolidated in Moscow. There are two Peace Corps/Russia administrative units: Russia West and Russia East. The Russia West office is located in Moscow and the staff supervises the Volunteers located from the western borders of Russia to the Krasnoyarsk oblast in the east. The Russia East staff with an office located in Vladivostok supervises Volunteers from the Irkust oblast near Lake Baikal to the eastern shoreline including Sakhalin Island. The country director is located in Moscow and a deputy director manages the Vladivostok office.
After the market collapse of 1998, the value of the ruble dropped. In August 1998, the exchange rate was 6.5 rubles to the dollar. It fell to 25 rubles to the dollar in 1999. During our visit, the exchange rate averaged 30 rubles to the dollar. As the government removes subsidies to services such as transportation, increased costs are affecting Peace Corps operations in Russia.
The Russia programs were interrupted in 1998 when no Trainees entered Russia, because visas were not granted. However, the Volunteers already in country were allowed to complete their service, and the Peace Corps staff remained intact. In 1999, the governmental sponsorship of the Peace Corps moved from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Education.
Russians are highly educated; the official literacy rate is 98%. The Russian education system ranks among the best in the world. It is a highly regulated system with examinations for students and strict credentialing requirements for teachers. Education is free and compulsory until the age of seventeen.
Increasingly, Russians identify English language proficiency as an important step to regaining footholds in international trade, technology, information sharing, and study abroad. This has led to a demand for English language and business English instruction reflected in the fact that 75% of all students choose it as their first foreign language. Because of this extraordinary demand, and because Russian teachers of English have been isolated from native speakers, there is a need for assistance in teaching English. Volunteers who do not have teaching credentials or teaching experience feel at a disadvantage among their host country teaching colleagues. Russia training strains to overcome the discrepancy between the training and experience of Russian teachers of English and the training and experience of TEFL Volunteers.
Currently, 81% of the Volunteers in both Russia program assignments concentrate on Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). See Table 1. The Russia West Volunteers are assigned to TEFL projects and business education. In the Russia East program, Volunteers are assigned to TEFL—two Volunteers remain in an environment project and two in business education. Both the business education and the environment projects in the Russia East program have had their last Volunteer input. Russia TEFL Volunteers teach at several levels of the Russian educational system. Volunteers with credentials are assigned to pedagogical institutes for teacher training, Volunteers with advanced degrees go to universities, and most Volunteers go to secondary schools or to "colleges" or technical schools. A few Volunteers work in primary schools in order to have a full teaching schedule. Most of the teacher training, university, and secondary school assignments are in urban centers, but Volunteers who teach at some secondary schools and the primary level may be assigned to more rural settings. In the Russia West program, Volunteers with a business background are assigned to teach business English at universities or at the technical colleges. Providing support is logistically difficult in Russia. In the 1998 PPA Worldwide Survey, 53% of the Russia East Volunteers and 69% of the Russia West Volunteers reported that it took 10 or more hours to travel to their Peace Corps office; 35% of Volunteers in the EMA region and 26% of Volunteers worldwide reported 10 or more hours to reach their Peace Corps offices. In some instances, communication is unavailable, difficult, or requires travel to a larger urban center. Email capabilities are available to most of the Volunteers assigned to urban or regional centers, but not to Volunteers in the smaller rural or village sites. Both posts plan to place more Volunteer in smaller cities and rural areas, so the staff must adjust the site selection and development process and Volunteer support accordingly.

Business Development
Peace Corps Volunteers work to nurture business development by providing business education, consulting, and support to government officials, entrepreneurs, business institutes, schools, and NGOs. One Volunteer collaborated with Russian business owners, business professors, U.S. technical assistance providers, and fellow Volunteers to produce a series of marketing videos based on Russian case studies. These videos will be used in seminars and workshops for Russian entrepreneurs.
Volunteers have also created the University of Alaska's Russian-American Business Center, which works to develop the business skills of female entrepreneurs as well as offering workshops on business planning over the Internet. Business Volunteers provide a wide range of seminars and workshops for the management and staff of Russian NGOs. A Volunteer-developed NGO training course is being incorporated into the course offerings of the Volga-Vyatka Academy of Public Service, which trains government officials in the Volga region.
Volunteers were able to work in elementary, secondary, and higher-education schools. As Russian English teachers continue to leave local schools to take higher paying positions in the private sector, the Peace Corps is focusing its efforts on training the next generation of Russian English teachers. Russia's economic problems have made it difficult for the Ministry of Education to provide modern textbooks to schools, many of which are still using Soviet textbooks containing anti-American propaganda. In Western Russia, Volunteers authored five textbooks that were published regionally at low cost.
Volunteers also work with students at the high school level. Volunteers in Western Russia conducted a two-week summer immersion program called "Camp America" for over 100 teenagers. In the Russian Far East village of Arsneniev, a Volunteer founded the first English-language newspaper for teens. This for-profit newspaper is written by advanced students from different schools, who are learning layout design, marketing and editing. The profits from the paper provide revenue for new English materials.
In the Russian Far East, university TEFL volunteers participated in regional conferences for language learning often working with the Russian FEELTA (Far Eastern English Language Teaching Association) and the American ELF (English Language Fellows) programs.
The Environment program is located in the Russian Far East, an area similar to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The incredible natural beauty of this area provides motivation for increasing environmental awareness. Environmental Education Volunteers contribute to the growing environmental preservation movement through their work in schools, extra-curricular environmental centers, NGOs, and nature preserves. One Volunteer organized the youth in his village to construct solar dehydrators, which were used by local farmers to dry herbs and mushrooms for the winter.
Volunteers are assisting NGOs with grant proposal writing, organizational development, and fundraising techniques. A Volunteer in Vladivostok helped the Resource Center for Environmental Education, a local NGO, successfully implement a proposal to send several Center members and a film technician to the United States to make a documentary about outdoor education. The film will be shown on Russian television and used in seminars with other environmental NGOs.

Artificially-sweetened soft drinks have been linked to a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes in women than those sweetened with ordinary sugar, according to new research.
"Contrary to conventional thinking, the risk of diabetes is higher with 'light' beverages compared with 'regular' sweetened drinks,'' the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) said.
The evidence comes from a wide-scale, long-term study, it said in a press release.
More than 66,000 French women volunteers were quizzed about their dietary habits and their health was then monitored over 14 years. The women were middle-aged or older when they joined the study.
Sugar-sweetened fizzy drinks have previously been linked with an increased risk of diabetes, but less is known about their artificially-sweetened counterparts.
Researchers led by Francoise Clavel-Chapelon and Guy Fagherazzi dug into the data mine to look at the prevalence of diabetes among women who drank either type of soda, and those who drank only unsweetened fruit juice.
Compared with juice-drinkers, women who drank either of the soft drinks had a higher incidence of diabetes.
The increased risk was about a third for those who drank up to 359mL per week of either type of soda, and more than double among those who drank up to 603mL per week.
Drinkers of light sodas had an even higher risk of diabetes compared to those who drank regular ones: 15 per cent higher for consumption of 500mL per week, and 59 per cent higher for consumption of 1.5L per week, Inserm said.
There was no increase in diabetes among women who drank only 100 per cent fruit juice, compared with non-consumers.
The study noted that women who drank "light'' sodas tended to drink more of it - 2.8 glasses a week on average compared to 1.6 glasses among women on
"regular'' sodas.
The findings are published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Its authors admitted the study had limitations.
"Information on beverage consumption was not updated during the follow-up, and dietary habits may have changed over time,'' the paper said.
"We cannot rule out that factors other than ASB (artificially sweetened beverages)... are responsible for the association with diabetes.''
The authors urge further trials to prove a causal link.
The study covered women born between 1925 and 1950, who have been monitored since 1990.
The paper noted previous research which says that aspartame - the most frequently-used artificial sweetener - has a similar effect on blood glucose and insulin levels as the sucrose used in regular sweeteners.

Sony never got too much play on this site since Sony locked all of their MP3 players into their proprietary media player SonicStage. I love their designs, sound quality, and battery life but SonicStage was so unbelievably terrible it kept me from picking up any of their players. Sony finally wised up and joined the rest of the portable music world making their devices MTP, thus being compatible with most media players and music services.
Sony will soon release the A820, an upgraded version with Bluetooth, larger screen, and larger capacities. However, the A810 should not be pushed aside; it is still a very viable MP3 player that will still keep up with anything in its class. It is a great choice for people not needing all the bells and whistles of its newer sibling.

Macedonia News, September 17, 2010
Lou McQuary
On Thursday, Sept. 9, Jimmy and Jacob Shirley and Hunter McQuary traveled to Starkville to attend the MSU vs. Auburn football game. Ashley Russell also attended. They were some mighty disappointed dawg fans since State wasn't able to pull out a victory.
The annual Garrison reunion was held Saturday, Sept. 11, at Mildred Pitner's home. About 40 family members gathered for lunch. Out of town guests attending were John and Joyce Garrison from Collierville, Tenn.; Corey, Priscilla, and Reagen Howell from Brandon, Miss.; Michael and Drew Garrison from Walls, Miss.; and Mark, Donna, and Justin Pitner from Booneville, Miss. Mildred has been hosting this reunion for about 20 years.
Pud Garrison has been under the weather and has had to make several trips to the doctor. The family reports that she is better now. She was able to make it to the Garrison reunion.
Saturday was a busy day for West Union children. The day started off at East Union with the cross country team competing. Savannah Shirley came in 5th and Mallory Newby came in 7th. The girls only had four competing so they needed one more runner to compete as a team. The other members running in the girls' race was Allie Newby and Destiny Windham. West Union boys came in third.
At the New Albany Sportsplex, the boys fall ball league played several games of baseball, and the Union County Slow Pitch softball games began at noon. The West Union team played very well. They had a shot at the championship, but were unable to cash it in. Each girls' team in the county played four games each. There were some mighty tired girls at the end of the day! Macedonia folks made up a large portion of the fan section.
Sunday, Sept. 12, Macedonia Church honored Magan Scott with a bridal tea. The fellowship hall was decorated in fall colors with arrangements of beautiful sunflowers throughout the room. Kay Page's fruit arrangement was admired bya ll. Magan is the bride elect of Jonathan Williams. She received many beautiful gifts. Magan and Jonathan will be married on Oct. 9.
Each Sunday the members at Macedonia Baptist Church delight to see the new developments in the new sanctuary. Concrete has been poured and the plumbing done. Next work will begin on the walls.
The Union County Baptists left on a mission trip to Star, Miss. on Sunday, Sept. 12. Harold Grisham and Patrick Grisham attended from Macedonia. They intend to work on Children's Village buildings.
The West Union elementary beauty revue will be Thursday, Sept. 16, and the high school beauty revue will be Friday, Sept. 17. Both pageants will begin at 6 pm.
"Thought for the week: No wonder we are happy in the Lord! For we are trusting him. Yes, Lord, let your constant love surround us, for our hopes are in you alone." Psalm 33:21-22 TLB

Doc In A Box
Thank you for all of your comments. They have been very helpful.
I spoke with my doctor. I'll be finding a new one. I really wish Dr. Scott and Dr. Kliman hadn't died. Anyway, this new soon to be ex doctor told me my ultrasound was normal and that I probably have a muscle strain! That's probably one of the silliest comments a doctor has made to me. I have classic gallbladder symptoms: bad pain between my shoulder blades after eating certain foods, pain that radiates to my right shoulder, some nausea, localized gallbladder pain, etc..... Maybe its me but I don't think that muscle strains cause these symptoms. She told me to take Advil and that was it. End of conversation.
I made an appointment with my ME/CFS doctor for Monday thank goodness. I'll bring up the suggestions that everyone made in my last post. I'm hoping he can order a HIDA Scan to see if my gallbladder is functioning. Something is wrong and its not a muscle strain. I know it.
I just want to get this dealt with whatever it takes so I can get on with figuring out the next step in my healing.

Yeesh. Just commented on your last. I'm glad you are changing your doctor.
I've had these self-same symptoms for years too and no-one has ever come up with a reasonable explanation. They expect me to go away and live with it.
Low fat diet helps, but you probably know that anyway.

I wonder how these Doctors can make some of these dx and say them with a straight face...I really do.
For me....it was swelling....turned out to be backed up lymph fluid....but the dx my then Dr. gave me ---- Gas (insert huge eye roll here).
(((Hugs))) Terri. I hope you are able to find a good Dr.

Hi Terri
Yes, time to find a new doctor. What an idiotic/dismissive thing to say!
My ophthalmologist, who's good in his specialty simply can't wrap his head around the fact that my eye problems started with a reaction to drops. He's treating me for dry eyes with MORE drops (different ones) I never had dry eyes before these past 2 weeks with the problem and the new drops burn. Sometimes I wonder if some doctors keep their heads where the sun don't shine.

- Renee said...
So sorry Terri that you are going through this. They never found anything wrong with mine either. I have been told that the liver can cause gall bladder to act up and so can the stomach? Clearly something is wrong. My low fat no dairy diet took care of it...just like Jo.

Silly doctor- one day, they will know for themselves.

Did you ever have anyone suggest using Actigall/Ursodiol to keep your bile flowing when your gallbladder duct is inflamed? Many of us with CFS especially while taking abx (herxing) have had same type pain and need to use it for this reason.

LONDON — Bob Dylan has swapped his guitar for a blowtorch in his latest artistic endeavor, welding massive iron gates from scrap metal that went on display yesterday in London.
The "Mood Swings" exhibition at the Halcyon Gallery marks the U.S. singer-
songwriter's transition to a new form of art.
The metal works — made over three years by welding together items such as wrenches, a meat grinder, a roller skate and other scrap metal — seem chaotic.
The works, priced from $56,000, were described by the gallery as a statement on a bygone era of manufacturing in Dylan's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., home to the world's largest open-pit iron-ore mine.
"I was born and raised in iron-ore country — where you could breathe it and smell it every day. And I've always worked with it in one form or another," Dylan, 72, said in a statement.
"Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow. They can be closed, but, at the same time, they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow. They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways there is no difference."
Gallery President Paul Green expects the world premiere of Dylan's metalwork to attract thousands of art and music fans until its closure on Jan. 25.
Dylan is on tour in Europe.

A cargo bay or cargo hold was a general purpose storage facility aboard shuttles, starships and starbases.
Constitution-class Edit
In 2266, the Constitution-class starship USS Enterprise beamed down cargo supplies to the Tantalus V penal colony. (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind")
In 2267, the USS Enterprise was en route to Makus III with a cargo of medical supplies. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
While cargo bay is the designation for goods to be delivered to another starship, a starbase, or colony, ship stores is the designation for crew supplies storage.
The USS Enterprise's 2271 refit had one large cavernous cargo bay, in the ship's secondary hull, that could be flown into directly from space by shuttlecraft and cargo management units carrying cargo containers. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
This cargo bay had three levels:
- top level – shuttlecraft flight deck, CMU stations;
- mid level – cargo bays, shuttlecraft elevator, shuttlecraft hangar deck, lifeboats;
- low level – cargo bays
Galaxy-class Edit
Cargo bays are often equipped with large transporters to assist in the moving of cargo containers. However, aboard Galaxy-class starships, cargo bays located in the stardrive section did not have transporters. In that situation, cargo was directed into the bay by a transporter chief operating in a transporter room. (TNG: "11001001", "The Child")
Cargo bays have been used in a variety of ways other than typical storage, including triage centers, brigs, and stasis unit facilities.
Cargo Bay 4 aboard the USS Enterprise-D was located close to the outside of the ship and could be decompressed easily by blowing the cargo bay hatch. (TNG: "Power Play")
Intrepid-class Edit
The USS Voyager had several bays with the designation "Cargo Bay 2". One had variable environmental controls and was designed for organic storage. It was converted to a hydroponics bay by Kes in 2371 in order to allow for the growth of foods for consumption. Another was located on Deck 4 and suffered a massive hull breach when a Kazon shuttle intentionally collided into it in 2372. In 2374, the Borg assimilated a third "Cargo Bay 2" during an alliance with Voyager. After the alliance, four Borg alcoves remained in the bay and it went back to normal cargo storage. This "Cargo Bay 2", however, was located on Deck 8. (VOY: "Parallax", "Maneuvers", "Scorpion, Part II", "Equinox", "The Gift")
The USS Voyager had two cargo bays, one on Deck 4 (Cargo Bay 1) and one on Deck 8. Cargo Bay 2 was in section four, and was used for the storage of spare components and surplus materials. (VOY: "Drone")
Voyager's maximum cargo capacity was 35,750 metric tonnes. (citation needed • edit) At one point in 2377, two deuterium tanks were beamed out of Cargo Bay 2. (VOY: "The Void")
Deep Space 9 Edit
In 2369 Jake Sisko was late for dinner with his father. The computer located him in Cargo Bay 14 where he was tutoring Nog in reading. (DS9: "The Nagus")
Nog and Jake Sisko met a Lissepian captain in Cargo Bay 9 in 2369 to barter some Cardassian yamok sauce for self-sealing stem bolts. (DS9: "Progress")
Constable Odo told Commander Sisko and Chief O'Brien to take Crossover bridge 1 which would lead them into the cargo bay and Docking port 4. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
After Keiko O'Brien's school was destroyed by a bomb, Commander Sisko granted her permission to resume teaching her students in a cargo bay. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
When Nog requested a recommendation from Commander Sisko to enter Starfleet Academy, Sisko decided to test Nog's seriousness by asking him to inventory the contents of Cargo Bay 4. Nog completed the task in a mere five hours, and found items that had been overlooked in the previous inventory. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")
Miles O'Brien used one of Deep Space 9's cargo bays to install a dart board in 2371. (DS9: "Prophet Motive")
Other ships Edit
In 2369, someone broke into the cargo bay of the Kobliad transport ship Reyab when it docked at Deep Space 9, to steal a computer chip with a map of the Humanoid brain. (DS9: "The Passenger")
Under the influence of the Saltah'na, Major Kira Nerys asked Constable Odo to slip through the security system of a Valerian transport and into their cargo bay to check if their shipment included dolamide. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
The live-action portion of the cargo deck in The Motion Picture was built on Paramount Stage 18 and cost US$52,000. (The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, p. 95) The set was made by using elements that art director Joe Jennings had designed and constructed for the office of Japanese admiral Nogura, during pre-production on the ultimately abandoned series Star Trek: Phase II. "I don't know exactly what he was going to do with them, but he'd built these sections they'd ended up storing," commented The Motion Picture's production designer, Harold Michelson. "I can't stand to waste, so I used them in the cargo hold, and that's why the cargo hold is sort of Japanese-y." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 8, p. 99) This set was later added to via the use of matte paintings, making it seem even larger than the set had been. (The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, interior color photographs)
According to the VOY Season 2 DVD trivia text version of "The 37's", the Enterprise-D had three cargo bays located on Decks 2, 38, and 39

Amy brings a wealth of experience and working familiarity with Johnny's varieties from prior positions within our Contact Center and the Albion Farm. While at Johnny's Research Farm, she acquired hands-on experience spanning our entire seed-production process, from starting crops in the greenhouse, transplanting, cultivating, and harvesting, to sluicing and cleaning seeds. This past experience has given her insight into, and appreciation of crops not just for the edible harvest they provide, but for the seed potential they generate.
Amy additionally possesses deep working knowledge accrued from running her own homestead farm, with the goal of meeting her family's needs to every extent possible, in year-round production of a range of vegetables, fruit, and free-range livestock. Amy looks forward to connecting with commercial growers throughout her territory.
