Academic Exploration Program for undecided students
Private… smaller school… near a big city…a lot of academic programs….It was everything I was looking for. So, I visited. The second I got to Bradley, I knew that this is where I wanted to go.
I found out about Bradley through an independent counselor. I told him what my criteria for colleges were and I wanted to be away from home. The counselor narrowed down my criteria and gave me a list of schools to research, and Bradley was one of them. I had never heard about Bradley before, but when I went online to look up the colleges on my list, I was really impressed. It was everything I was looking for.
I visited campus in August of my senior year. The second I got here, I knew this is where I wanted to go. I applied online in October, and knew by November that I was accepted and coming to Bradley. There was no doubt in my mind. I applied to four other schools, three private and one public, mostly on the east coast, except for Bradley.
I really came here because of the people. Everyone was so nice and had a friendly personality. It definitely was a homey feeling. I get along with my roommate, and I know that this is where I want to be.
I applied to the Academic Exploration Program (AEP). I wasn't really sure what I wanted to major in, so having the option of choosing AEP was one reason why I came here. I've been able to take courses that meet my general education requirements, as well as the major I'm thinking of choosing.
I applied to the Academic Exploration Program (AEP). I wasn't really sure what I wanted to major in, so having the option of choosing AEP was among the reasons why I came here. I've been able to take courses that meet my general education requirements, as well as in the Health Science major.
The AEP program helped me pick my major in my fourth semester. After doing an internship at a physical therapy facility, I decided I wanted to explore other areas that would be a better fit for me in the medical profession.
In my junior year, I decided to study abroad for the semester. The Bradley Study Abroad program helped me find a program best fit for me and I ended up studying in Copenhagen, Denmark. It has been a great experience. I have been able to study with Danish professors, become immersed in the Danish lifestyle and culture by living with a host family, and travel throughout Europe.
When I tell people back home in New York that I'm at Bradley, they say, "How cool, they have an awesome basketball team that made it to the sweet sixteen a few years ago, right?" Then I tell
Them, "Yes, that's us! Bradley's a very friendly small Midwestern school with a great basketball team.
In addition to choosing a major that really fit's my interest and studying abroad, the best experience I have had at Bradley is being a part of the Women's club soccer team. I was able to continue playing the sport I love at a collegiate level and form many new friendships with my teammates. We had the opportunity to travel to Colorado to play in a tournament and travel to other schools in the Midwestern as well. Another great experience for me during my years here has been getting involved in Greek life. Greek life has helped me to develop my leadership and communication skills, as well as making me a well-rounded individual.

STAT seems to be getting mad with himself now... And that's good. We know how he can play. He made a nice offensive play and a good shot challenge now wake the f up STAT!
Good end to the half at least. They finally put some effort in. I think we're going to win this game.
If Kobe had made that play lin just did he would get fts- Calderon would have been called for an intentional and then a T..result four fts for Kobe..Lin...nothing..
A little more ball movement, and defensive rebounding, and we should be fine.
we aren't losing because amare is playing... we are losing because the knicks aren't playing hard out there and we are turning it over..
so quick to blame..
Image hotlinked from a malware website // removed
I actually think NY comes back and wins this but STAT and Lin are gonna have to have a big 2nd half.
Im sure they'll straighten it out at half time..
We'll look totally different 2nd half.
Stat need to set a better screen and roll/cut more to the basket.
Lin need to stop turning the ball over
The whole team need to play with more energy and effort.
Glen Grunwald
Crappy play by NY so far, but I still feel they will pull this one out..!!Lin is def the real deal, but he def needs to work on cutting down thoes turnovers..At this point I thin JR smith would make a great compliment off the bench if ny signs him.
I hate to break the tandem of Chandler & Girafferies. The chemistry was there. They were unbeatable in the paint. Looked like Ben Wallace and Sheed. It just worked.

I have recently become re-acquainted with Journalism. Last summer I started a blog called Dobroyeutro which can be found at skypotrol.net. Dobroyeutro means good morning in Russian. However, I use it more in the slang sense of the word to mean 'wake up' or 'pay attention'.
Due to recent life experiences and acquaintances with authors Daniel Estulin and Dimitri Khalezov (which have now become friends). I have thus become fascinated with investigative journalism. I guess you could describe me as a blogger and amateur investigative journalist. It is more than just a hobby but I say amateur because I am not getting paid but I enjoy passionately seeking, discovering and sharing the truth with as many people as I can.
I earned a B.B.A. in Finance / Investments in 1996 from Baruch College in New York city. I finished my degree in the evenings whilst working on Wall Street during the day. I started at the bottom and rather quickly eventually worked my way up to an international equities trader for over 12 years. I traded foreign stocks and currencies for such firms as Deutsche Bank, S.G. Warburg which was then bought out by Swiss bank as well as a couple of other firms. It was through this career that I was able to travel and see the world. I am very fortunate to have traveled to over 30 countries including India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, United Kingdom, Kuwait, Cuba, Morocco and Russia.
It was through my world travels that unexpected and unpredictable life experiences led me to become re-acquainted with writing and journalism. I am currently unemployed and plan to devote most of my time to writing my upcoming book project. It has always been a dream an goal of mine to write a book. The titled that I have selected for the moment, though rather long but very apropos to what will be written, thus the title is "Drug Smuggler's, Gun Runner's, Russian Intelligence Officers and Terrorist's Wives: And These Are My Friend's, Not My Enemy's"

Detective Lt. Eddie Garcia said Mark Pillow became a suspect after Beeville Police Department investigators learned that he had been the last person seen at Dorothy Pillow's home that Saturday afternoon.
News of the charges came as a shock to family members.
"I know my sister is up there saying don't be so hard on him," said James Wood, her brother. "We just need to see justice done."
The Beeville Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene at 4:16 p.m. Saturday after neighbors saw that Pillow's home at 708 N. Jefferson St. was burning.
Once inside, firefighters discovered the victim. When the woman was removed from the home, emergency responders saw definite trauma wounds to her body.
Speculation on the part of investigators is that the suspect started the fire to cover up the crime.
The detective said the fire started in the same location at the back of the house where the victim's body was found.
Garcia would not comment on a possible confession but the detective said the suspect was cooperative when questioned.
Investigators went to Corpus Christi Monday to attend an autopsy of the body at the Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office.
Garcia said the medical examiner did not officially call the death a homicide at the time of the autopsy, but finding the wounds to the body was enough for evidence for police "to run with it," Garcia said.
Pillow was charged with the two felony crimes as soon as detectives had the evidence they needed.
He was charged with murder, a first degree felony that could land him in a Texas prison for the rest of his life.
He also was charged with arson, a second degree felony that could result in a 20-year prison sentence.
Each of those felony charges also carry a potential $10,000 fine.
Garcia said Pillow was known to work odd jobs around the community.
The motive for the crime has not yet been determined, the detective said.
Those who knew the grandmother described her as a kindhearted person.
Wood described her as the type of person always willing to help — especially when it came to family.
"She would help anybody," he said. "She was a family person. She had a lot of friends everywhere."
Wood recalls his younger days when he and Dorothy were growing up in Karnes City.
"I remember when I was maybe 10 years old, when she drove off — she had gotten married and was driving off to Pennsylvania — I ran out in our pasture and cried for several hours."
Pillow has lived in Beeville for the past years — a central location that allowed her to be close to her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
A makeshift shrine sits on the front lawn at 708 N. Jefferson St. topped with flowers.
Surrounding the house is yellow police tape.
In one windowsill sits a pig figurine.
This, her brother said, was only one of many inside the home. "There are probably several hundred pigs inside. She loved little pigs. I don't know why."
BPD investigators called in arson specialists from the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office over the weekend.
Garcia said the fire marshal's team was led by Ramon Garcia and he was accompanied by fire/arson investigator David Rives and his canine, Saxon.
Others at the scene over the weekend included Sgt. Chris Bernal, Detective Matthew Miller and BPD evidence technician Laura Martinez.
Garcia said the only trouble he can recall the suspect getting into was on Sunday, after the fire, when Pillow was arrested for possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone.
Pillow was still in custody on that charge when the autopsy on his grandmother's body was performed.
"He couldn't make bail," Garcia said.
The bail on that charge had been set at $2,000 by Justice of the Peace Abel Suniga.
Suniga also set bonds on the suspect at $1.5 million on the murder change and another $1.5 million on the arson charge.
Pillow remains in custody at the Bee County Jail.

Time to Bring Back the Lady Killer?
Whether you're a Rangers fan, a Cardinals fan, or just a good old puritan brand of baseball fan, there is no question that this World Series is so far proving to be one of the dramatically fulfilling variety. I mean, how many heart attacks is one expected to suffer through before this thing is over?!?! I would not be surprised if it goes the full seven.
But what does surprise me is that Derek Holland — good as he was in Game 4 — still holds his head high while wearing that small, malnourished varmint on his upper lip. I know his teammates razz him plenty; but seriously, how does that thing not make him hide his head in shame every night?
However he does it, the RSBS staff has taken notice. In fact, two of the more senior RSBS interns have approached me with the request to bring back the "Lady Killer". For those of you dear readers unaware of this phenomenon, let me remind you with this picture taken during All-Star Weekend 2009:
That arrow. It's pointing at it.
It's pointing at… the Lady Killer.
It's often mistaken for a sex-life killer, but hell, if it works for Holland, maybe I should consider bringing it back.
Hate me 'cuz you can, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
8 Comments
Man, you have to reduce the price of "mustache rides" with something like that!
Thanks for the arrow, but I still can't see it.🙂
You and Holland could be twins, Jeff. But can you do impersonations of Harry Carey like he can??????????

|Title: +National Tunnel Inspection Standards
|Abstract: This rulemaking would revise 23 CFR part 650 -- Bridges, Structures, and Hydraulics, by adding the National Tunnel Inspection Standards (NTIS) under subpart E. We anticipate that the NTIS may be modeled after the existing National Bridge Inspection Standards and may include requirements for, among other things, inspection procedures, the qualifications and training of inspectors, and a National Tunnel Inventory. The FHWA has changed the stage from a final rule to a SNPRM because MAP-21 broadened FHWA�s authority to include all highway tunnels. In addition, it made a number of changes to the NBIS, upon which this rulemaking is based. In order to conform the two processes and to reassess the cost benefit analysis of this rulemaking, a supplemental NPRM is being pursued.

The battle for sustainable investing
Call it green, ethical or sustainable, this type of investing is never far from the lips of investors. But in recent years they have been slow to put those words into action.
Worse still, firms such as Henderson Global Investors and Aviva Investors have scaled back their dedicated sustainable and responsible investment teams.
Northern Trust Asset Management, which invests $58.4 billion across a range of environmental, social and corporate governance strategies, said in a report that "current academic research in [environmental social and corporate governance] leaves us unclear as to whether a pure orientation toward ESG issues is a positive or negative source of excess return".
This sluggish level of interest is particularly evident in North America, where almost 90% of assets invested have yet to follow sustainable investment strategies, according to last year's Global Sustainable Investment Review.
But in Europe there are signs that ESG investing is back on the radar. Institutions such as Northern Trust and Bank J Safra Sarasin have recently bolstered their sustainability investment ambitions. Northern Trust made a high-profile hire for its new role of global head of environmental, social and governance, while Swiss private bank J Safra Sarasin launched a corporate sustainability board.
In private equity, French debt investor Tikehau Group last week signed up to the United Nations' principles of responsible investing. Total signatory assets under management under the principles of responsible investing had grown to more than $45 trillion by the end of April 2014.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Law Commission paved the way for the increased adoption of ESG by pension scheme trustees when it stated in a report this month that trustees should take into account the "risk to a company's long-term sustainability such as ESG factors". Until recently, trustees have often opted to concentrate on investment returns.
According to Saker Nusseibeh, chief executive of £26 billion asset manager Hermes Fund Managers, the commission's ESG reference was "very significant".
Proponents of change
Hermes has been a vocal advocate of ESG investing. It recently launched the Hermes Global Equity ESG fund, which looks to invest purely in companies that have positive ESG credentials.
It also produced a study which stated that well-governed companies outperformed their poorly governed counterparts by an average of more than 30 basis points per month between 2008 and 2013.
Nevertheless, the study's findings were less impressive when it came to the benefits of ESG-specific investments. And it could be argued that well-governed companies should outperform their less well-run counterparts.
As for purely environmental and social factors, Nusseibeh maintains that there is "anecdotal evidence" that these factors boast investment returns.
However, while lamenting that many fund managers still do not pay enough attention to ESG or long-term investment strategies, he acknowledges that they are responding to the whims of their clients.
"Fund managers are subject to what the asset owners tell them," he said. "If [the owners] hand out three-year mandates which are to be reviewed every year, fund managers will behave and act accordingly – it does come down to the likes of pension schemes to start caring about long-term returns."
Regional breakdown
Either way, it might be a while before enthusiasm for such moves catches on in the US. The Global Sustainable Investment Review found that of the $13.6 trillion of ESG-invested funds globally, Europe accounted for $8.8 trillion, or 65%. In contrast, the US, the world's biggest regional market by assets under management, contributed $3.7 trillion, or 27%. The US, widely regarded as a more capitalist-oriented society than Europe, appears yet to be convinced of the investment merits of ESG strategies.
Yet Northern Trust's new global head of environmental, social and governance Mamadou-Abou Sarr, insists that there is now a "shift towards a broader acceptance" of ESG in the US. Sarr said: "The difference is basically the level of acceptance and application from asset owners in the US. Large asset owners are embracing ESG for the time being in the US."
Yet if ESG investment demand is on the rise, will more asset managers try to persuade investors of their green credentials in a bid to tick the ethical investment box?
If so, Matt Christensen, global head of responsible investment at Axa Investment Managers, would welcome the challenge. "I don't fear it. This would mean that the market is growing and that people are putting their feet in the pool and investors can ascertain the quality of the strategy," he said.
Nor is it a development that would perturb Nusseibeh. "Fund managers need to make money and look for business advantages," he said. "At some stage they will say [ESG investing] is a very good advantage. More businesses will take it seriously and from ticking boxes they will upgrade their efforts."
• The debate on ESG performance
One piece of evidence market onlookers refer to when highlighting the demise of sustainable investment strategies is Henderson's decision to lay off its dedicated socially responsible investment funds team at the end of 2011.
At the time, the Ethical Investment Association described the move as sending "completely the wrong message out about ethical, SRI and sustainable investment".
And it led critics to question whether SRI strategies are sustainable given that fund managers are judged on returns, irrespective of their social or environmental allocations.
In response Henderson recognised the changes made in 2011 "were quite emotive for some" but insisted its commitment to SRI investment was "undiminished".
Nick Anderson, Henderson investment manager, said: "Our clients don't see this as a charity activity. They understand there's a trade-off but they do want to earn a reasonable return."
Axa Investment Manager's global head of responsible investment Matt Christensen believes there is evidence supporting the investment performance of ESG funds but said: "It will not be the case that 100% of these funds work. For example, the majority of hedge funds don't outperform the S&P or the FTSE 100 and ESG is similar. It's less about ESG and more about the strategy."
After Henderson's restructuring, its three SRI funds moved to its global equity team. These funds take into account ESG factors and focus on the sustainability of company cashflows.

Buy for$10.91(3 items)
Written by Guest on 07.11.2012 at 19:15
that would be the best news of 2013.
Written by Erik M. on 09.11.2012 at 22:45Their third album was a huge disappointment for me, and due to that I don't have the urge of buying Weiland.
Written by Mr. Doctor on 09.11.2012 at 23:06
Seems like a weird comment to me considering their third album is just an experiment so judging any album following it would be like... I dunno, expecting Opeth to release many "Damnations".
Granted... Weiland isn't metal either but I'd say it's a far more mature folk album than the third album with pretty nice strings and vocals.
Written by Erik M. on 10.11.2012 at 00:20Well, according to MetalStorm their last two albums are both "Neofolk", which is why I think the fourth album wouldn't be my cup of tea either. But I might be wrong, seeing as you're saying Weiland is different from Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays. I didn't even listen to songs on Youtube, so I might do that (and hopefully be surprised).
Written by Mr. Doctor on 10.11.2012 at 00:31
It's still neofolk though. But if I'm not mistaken Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays was a full instrumental album right? Because the fact that Weiland has vocals and longer songs gives it a more defined structure which helps since it feels more focused.
Written by Guest on 10.11.2012 at 07:46
i agree with Emol, for me its mainly cause the doom elements are not there anymore, am not into folk music that much. Am not against a band trying out new stuff but id have preffered if they stuck to folk doom.
Never listened to anything from Opeth so i got no idea of what their discography sounds like.
Written by Mr. Doctor on 10.11.2012 at 17:11
Katatonia only started top go downhill with The Great Cold Distance... But oh well, matter of opinions.
Written by Paradox0 on 27.01.2010 at 22:08
although I kid of wish it was sped up just a tad.
Written by Erik M. on 20.01.2013 at 20:57then I'd suggest to go and listen to some thrash.
Written by Mr. Doctor on 22.01.2013 at 17:26
Hmmm no. If he wanted something like THIS album but with a bit more speed. The thrash wouldn't work
Maybe some atmospheric/folk black could do the trick.
Yeah, just wanted to be a smartass.
Written by Angel N. on 03.10.2013 at 18:12
I used to like this album much back in the day but recently when I heard it again it sounded nothing that special that I was thinking it was.

P. plan for their trek westward to Wisconsin.The first winter, when a cold windy storm took off a good portion of the thatched roof to their new log house, Jabez was just over three years old, and with a baby sister now at his mother's breast. His father's diary provides an insight into how the family lived and how the farm grew. There are very few times that J.P. mentions his boys, or girls, by name until the boys reach a working age. He does mention a few times when he makes clothes for the boys. The first winter of 1850-51, he mentions that he "mends the children's clothes.: In 1852, the November 27th entry, reads "Making pants for Jabez," who was then 5 years old. In fact, up through the late 1850s, J.P. is careful to note for whom he makes clothing, including the boys and himself.Most of the time, he refers to them as "the boys," By the time the boys turn 10 or so, J.P. sometimes mentions them by name and the job they are doing, and for whom.
As Billy, the oldest son, begins to move out and onto his own, and finally marries Rozetta Miles, James and Jabez take over more and more of the farming. In 1872, these two brothers marry; James Burns McPherson marries Henrietta Elizabeth Ireland*; Jabez Burns McPherson marries Mary M Housel.
Jabez and Mary are in Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin at the time of the 1880 Federal Census. They are listed with their two oldest children, Jabez, age 6, and Margaret, age3. Jabez reports working in a grist mill.Of course, there is no 1890 Federal Census, but Mary dies after the birth of her 6th child, on July 20, 1891. Understandably, not much was said about Jabez in the obituary, except that he was left to mourn her death, a "beloved companion who has borne the joys and sorrows for so many long years together ..." His McPherson family does show up in love and support of Jabez; In attendance are his parents, brother James and his wife coming from Verona; younger sisters, Mary Jane Blair coming from Brooklyn, Wisconsin, and Emma Ireland and Maggie (Margaret) Burmeister from Madison.
A sad time, and sometimes I mull over sad stories. I mulled over this one -- until I realized what was bothering me. What happened to the children and Jabez. At the time of Mary's death, Jabez was 42; young Jabez,19; Maggie May,14; William Phillip, 10; LeRoy, 8; Furman, 5; and baby James Berdetta who died four months after his mother. The children all marry and can be followed in later census reports, but there is no indication of what happens to them between the death of their mother and 1900or so.
After his wife's death, Jabez Burns McPherson seems to be rather alone, as he is found as a boarder in the 1900 & 1910 Federal Census Reports and also in the 1905 Wisconsin Census.. He dies in the Winan Hall Sanatorium, in Bethel, Vermont, April 7, 1924, but there is no indication if he had family in the area.
Also, in the 1900 Federal Census, Fermon McPherson, age 14, is listed as a boarder with David and Rose Jones of Dodgeville.
The family linkage seems to disappear in this family after Mary's death, but it would be nice to find that this was not the case. Perhaps, some descendant of Jabez Burns McPherson, son of my great-great grandparents James P. and Mary B. McPherson, will contact me with family stories. I love to see those old family links restored, stories told with love and laughter --- it would be nice if this turned out to be so.
[*Henrietta Ireland's mother, also named Henrietta, was the daughter of Mary Campbell and Henry Kempfer. Their youngest daughter was born in Quebec and after the death of her father and was named Henrietta in his honor. The girl Henrietta Kempfer married Septimus Ireland and moved to Springdale. Their daughter Henrietta Elizabeth Ireland.who was also called Libby, Lizzie, and perhaps Hattie, married James Burns McPherson, and they were my great grandparents.
Henrietta Elizabeth Ireland McPherson's grandmother , Mary Campbell Kempfer married John Foye and came to Springdale. They had six children; Mary, Aprinda, Winthrop, Steven, Alonzo, and Milton. Alonzo Foye married Anne Adamson McPherson, sister of James Burns McPherson, and this is how the interweaving of Foye's and Ireland's occurred in my great-grandfather's time.]

text: Just a warning, not that this WILL happen to you, but here's my experience. I would be VERY careful about herbals, etc. I had a MAJOR reaction to some nursing vitamins with fenugreek and blessed thistle. My LFT(liver function test) elevated to a dangerous level. The only thing I took were these supplements. Because of how they are sold, these pills don't require testing and approval from the FDA. Sure, there are complaints about the FDA. In order to earn FDA approval the drug has to be proven not only effective, but also safe. These types of supplements are proven to be neither. Just as many people swear by them as swear because of them. From now on, only supplements with proven safety for me.

As I watched the Phillies' offense do next to nothing for the second straight night in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Citizens Bank Park, all I could think of was Domonic Brown.
No, not because I think they should call him up in order to light a spark under a flagging lineup (c'mon, people, that's a terrible idea). No, I thought of Brown because of what the two starting pitchers who have iced the Phillies the past two nights have in common: they're both left-handers (OK, mediocre left-handers, to be specific).
If the Phillies can't afford to give Jayson Werth the massive payday that surely is coming his way, his logical replacement in right field would be Brown, who was hitting .327 with seven homers and 23 RBIs heading into Wednesday night. Problem is, Brown bats left-handed. So if you assume that Raul Ibanez will be back next season – he is due $11.5 million in the final year of the three-year, $30 million deal he signed in December 2008 — (and while he's off to a slow start, that's a pretty safe assumption at this point) the Phillies' lineup goes from lefty-heavy to lefty-morbidly obese.
As it is, the lineup's orientation sets it up to be tamed by southpaws such as Tom Gorzelanny and Zach Duke – pitchers who don't have dominant stuff but who can move the ball around and change speeds. And that's what happened the past two nights. In 12 2/3 innings against Duke and Gorzelanny, the Phillies mustered one run on nine hits – amazingly, all singles.
In addition to their weakness against lefties, the Phillies' bats often go quiet right after a game in which they score double-digit runs. Call it a statistical correction, the law of averages or whatever you want, but it's been an undeniable pattern for the past few seasons – and evident once again, following the Phils' 12-run outburst against the Pirates on Monday.

Honestly another damn nice outing by Moyer. No mention of that again huh. ERA of 4.30 or so now. Not bad at all for a 47 year #5 starter, who has pitched into AT LEAST the 6th inning in EVERY outing.
Tip of the hat to Moyer. Offense cannot produce small-ball runs. We either stink or swim. Tonight we stink on offense. DAMN
What happened to the Ashburn/Jeltz Award. Keep up!
Well-said, Brian. Moyer doesn't get any credit for what he does on this site (I could grumble for ages about him not getting the Ashburn for pitching a goddamn complete game shutout). But the blind fans on here don't matter to the Old Man, as he gives us 7 strikeouts in 7 innings tonight, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, and for the second night in a row the offense wastes a great performance by the starting pitcher. Infuriating. What is it about the Phillies that when they face someone with a mediocre or poor record they so often manage to make him look Cy Young-caliber?
Let me think…in the past two games, didn't Ryan Howard get nearly half those nine hits? Seems to me he is a left handed hitter. What kind of hits did the right handed hitters, Ruiz, Werth, Francisco, and Polanco get? And how many were gotten by Rollins and Victorino, who also bat right against lefties?
Saying the Phils are vulnerable to left handers because they've got all those lefty hitters seems to me an oversimplification. When the offense slumps, their right handed batters don't get any hits, either, and sometimes none of them hit against righties, either. Sometimes credit has to be given to the pitchers. Duke is generally above average, and Gorzelanny had a mid-3s ERA coming in.
I'll grant that the Phils don't do much against people with average stuff who can change speeds with good location. But a lot of teams don't, or Jamie Moyer would have been out of the game 15 years ago.
The lineup has its ups and downs; we all know that. You should devote more time to the Phils' great starting pitching of late, and particularly Moyer's fine outing tonight.
Moyer was awesome tonight. Nothing to worry about regarding the offense, nothing at all. It was 2 bad offensive showings in a row, not a huge deal. There were men left on base (bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th), only 4 hits total but, they had their chances and they will score.
Moyer was great tonight, a win or a loss, what more could anyone expect out of a starting pitcher, let alone a #5???
Moyer was a stud tonight. Hell, even if Roy Halladay could give me a 7 inning, 2-run outing every start, I'll take it every single time.
When Moyer gives you 7 innings, 2 runs… you know that something is working for the old man… and it is extremely frustrating to let one of those starts end up with a L.
Pingback: Jamie Moyer Strikes Out Seven As Nothing Else Close To Competent Occurs | That Balls Outta Here | A Philadelphia Phillies Blog
Two losses in a row is nothing to panic about but still, when the Phils played an inferior team like the Pirates and got a pretty good pitching performance like they did from Halladay on Tuesday, they should have found a way to win that game against that weaker opponent.
I agree with George's post. The thing with the left handed pitchers constantly being able to shut down the Phillies offense because of all of the left handed batters is overplayed/overstated.
Nice outing by Moyer. Most nights, that will get him a win (same with Halladay the night before). Agree with George/Mike B – bad timing on the lefty argument, as Howard, Utley, and Ibanez each got a hit last night, whereas Werth and Ruiz did not.
With the exception of two players, the Phils are pretty neutral, regardless of the side the pitcher throws from (must be a better way to say that) – only two players have favorable splits (2007-2009 stats)
Player vs lhp vs rhp
avg/obp avg/obp
Utley 293/402 305/391
Ibanez 283/343 287/356
Howard 219/308 295/395
Werth 319/418 256/356
Rollins 282/331 272/329
Werth and Howard are the only two who hit opposite handed pitchers significantly better.
This isn't to say that Brown can fill Werth's shoes (I don't know his splits), but you can throw out the conventional wisdom that the lefties on the Phils can't hit lefties. Only Howard can't hit lefties consistently, and he appears to be improving this year (so far, batting 261 vs lefties)
I think the two recent losses are more a factor of weather (more so Tues night), wear and tear (going right from the road to home with no day off), line-up turmoil (Utley out a few, Rollins back), and playing down to the competition than a lack of ability of hitting average lefty pitchers.
I have to agree that the lefty lefty argument is lost on this team to me. Raul historicly hits lefties pretty well as does Chase. And if you watch the game both runs given up by Moyer we inches away from not scoring. Two RBIs off PP glove. I am not saying he should have made those plays, but the first on if he was a step slower JRoll would have picked up the ground ball it would not have been an out but the run would not have scored. And the second RBI liner was just off the end of PP's glove. Great outting by Moyer, this is three solid starts by your 4/5 pitcher. The offense will be fine, would not be surprised to see JRoll leading off today, and if it was me, I would put Vic in the 6th hole leaving Raul in the 7th spot.
I was at the game. Moyer was awesome and the crowd..(at least the folks around us)…was acknowleging it. We score 4 more runs, which isn't all that much to ask of our offense,….and Moyer is 6-2, same record as Halladay.
As it is, if you would have told me two months ago that Moyer would have 5 wins and an ERA of less than 4.50 in the middle of May…I would have laughed in your face.
Love Jamie… didn't expect him to be as effective as he has been this far into the season but then again, I am the only one to blame for thinking that because time and time again, the old man has proven everyone wrong. I'm a Souderton grad… live and work in Souderton… we're proud of what he does and he certainly does not get the credit he deserves. Did anyone see the stat that they put up during the game that showed that during his tenure with the Phillies, Jamie Moyer holds the record for highest winning percentage of any pitcher in Phillies history? Pretty damn hard to overlook that…
Last night showed why baseball is such a fickle game… Polanco doesn't go for that ball early on and Rollins holds that man on third and we're looking at a tie game heading into the latter innings. A few favorable bounces for the Cubs, a few unfavorable bounces for the Phils… lady luck was certainly not with us. That's not an excuse for lack of production but it's hard to overlook in a tight pitcher's duel.
Hey, don't feel so bad… the Mets turned a triple play and hit an inside the park homerun in the same game and still blew it.
I agree with George's post.
Also note that Werth this season has hit all of his eight home runs off RHPs. He's usually a lefty-killer (as far as power numbers are concerned)… but this time it's the complete reverse. While I'm glad that he can smash righties now, we're gonna need him to keep those awesome-power-numbers-against-lefties he had in 2007-2009. In the middle of a lefty-heavy lineup, we can't afford for Werth to go 0/4 in these type of games.
Thanks for trying Jamie!
Thanks for lowering your price tag, Jayson!
Here's a fun fact, its about time we stop let mediocre pitchers like Gorzelanny look like Cy Young Award winners. Ben Francisco needs to be booted out, maybe the return of Pat Burrel to the bench haha
bfo 33,
Brown can't replace Werth.
There's a difference between hitting well against lefties (or just ok in Howard's case) and knocking the hell out of lefties, which is what Werth does.
Werth isn't just a right-handed hitter, he's one who murders left-handed pitching and the Phils' lineup MUST HAVE THAT. If they don't re-sign him, they need to find a replacement who kills lefties (the role Burrell used to serve too).
We can't have Howard, Ibanez, Utley, Brown all in there with no power righty. We'll get killed in the late innings by every team with a tough lefty in their pen.
Jayson Stark was on Mike Missanelli's show yesterday and more or less said that he heard from a pretty reputable source that the Phillies were NOT going to let Jayson Werth get away.
For what it's worth…..
Tex, I realize it is early in the season, but all but one of Werths homers are against righties this year. Could be that he just happened to face weak righties and sinkerball lefties. I'll have to go back and look at slugging % (probably would have been better than ob%). 98% chance that Werth will be better next year than Brown, and I'd love to keep him in Philly, but on this current team, the lefty heavy argument is more conventional based wisdom than a statistical truth.
Stark is one of the few journalist who I trust (my only beef is he rarely gives sources, just says "a high ranking official", but if he did provide names, he'd probably stop getting info) – so if he is reporting it, it's a good sign.
@Chuck – Wow, interesting. How often is Stark right, do you know? I honestly don't know what his record is.
As far as the lefty/righty thing goes & proof of whether or not Werth's right is nec to the line-up, whenever numbers are tossed I have this strange feeling that the numbers are being used to help an argument, whichever argument is being put forth. Those same numbers can be used for another argument. Anyway, last night's game is one of darn few that Werth has been 0-4. In fact he's one of the few who hasn't had that prob so far (let's not start w/Howard). It's one of the reasons Werth's name is being mentioned as MVP. His avg has been #1 & #2 on the team & in the top 5 & top 7 in the NL this entire season until this past wk when it has declined w/the past couple of games. (hope the ankle isn't behind this, he's fouled off it twice now)
Thankfully til this point the discussion of Werth's value to the team has been purely academic. But last night quite literally put a spotlight on the necessity of Werth hitting well & hitting lefties well. As has been mentioned by Manny & Philly Texan, the interesting thing is that his 8 (or 7 of them) HRs have been off RHPs. But the truth is in any case at all that this team needs Werth to be there – playing well & hitting any pitcher.
Brown can not replace Werth as is so often said. To me that's kind of a lazy, thoughtless "replacement" that doesn't fill the real needs of the team. Ppl negate the nec of a real righty (not switch hitters) in this line-up, and/or who undervalue Werth's abilities are missing the dynamics of this team, and of any quality, winning team.
Omg – sorry – that was a book.
who cares Phan in the outfield, we have all written books on here before. I know I am notorious for re-writing war and peace on here. We are ALL passionate on here.
Brian Sr. of CO – Thanks. I just didn't realize. To be honest, it was a stream of consciousness response to previous posts. Everyone has salient points. I was speaking to them. I hit 'enter' and AY! suddenly there was a tome.

A two-headed turtle born at the San Antonio Zoo last month is so popular it's joined Facebook.
"Thelma and Louise" have their own page on the social networking site, and are at 2,500 followers and counting as of Monday morning.
The turtle, barely larger than the size of a quarter at birth, eats and swims like all the other turtles.
Its two heads -- named after the characters in the 1991 Oscar-winning film -- even get along, zoo officials told The Associated Press.
The turtle hatched on June 18 and is on display at the zoo's Friedrich Aquarium.

Be Gone, Damn Bug!
The Phillies closed out their Grapefruit League play today with a 7-6 win over the Astros, and will now head north to prepare for Friday's season opener against those same Astros. In addition to leaving behind sun and warmth (both of which seem to be in short supply around these parts), let's hope they also leave behind the proverbial injury bug.
The Phils' spring clubhouse seems to have suffered a heavy infestation – Domonic Brown is out following surgery on a broken bone in his hand; Chase Utley was sidelined the entire spring with a creaky knee, with no timetable for his return to action; and Brad Lidge is likely to go on the DL with pain in his shoulder.
Additionally, Jose Contreras missed a couple days with a scratched cornea, Placido Polanco hyperextended his elbow, and Shane Victorino and Roy Oswalt luckily avoided serious injury after running into Raul Ibanez, and being hit in the back of the neck with a line drive, respectively.
Enough already! Be gone, damn bug!
But "bug" is a vague word. Is the injury bug an insect-bug?
Or a bacteria-bug?
Do we need to call in an exterminator?
Or a vaccinator?
At the moment, I don't care which it is, I just want this team healthy! Right now!

I am already about to promote the Phillies 2011 MVP Award to go to their Trainers. Those guys will not only earner their pesos in 2011, but they will have to foresee and forego a few late night activities to attend to the rehab and prevention of more injuries.
You know there is a situation when RP Danys Baez has 2 wins in the Spring.
Hopefully it is just a faze or short term dose of mis-guided karma that will disappear by the first NL East series matchup.

Who cares about a bug when the Doc is in. Ok, that's a bad cliche but Roy will go down as one of the best. any team with him on the mound can endure any bug.
—Mark Gauthier
I always pictured the injury bug being more like the Gravelings from Dead Like Me. If you never saw that show, they were gremlin looking things about 3 feet high, invisible to the living who wandered about setting the stage for all of the accidents and disasters that befall us. Regardless, I think you should call in both the exterminator and the vaccinator for good measure. One can never be too careful.
This is a very simple game…
It seems pennant races seem to come down to the teams who can stay healthy. The Phils have enough depth and talent that they should be ok, though. They just have to hang in there until these guy get healthy.
'Minoring In Baseball'
I am going to be so depressed when Utley does not come out on Opening Day :O( Who will I take 300 consecutive photos of now? Guess I'll have to settle for Doc ;o)
Renegade – I guess injuries are par for the course when you have the oldest lineup in the majors this season. Hopefully they won't keep the trainers too busy.
Mark – I like your optimism.🙂 This assumes, however, that Doc himself stays healthy.
Kristen – I'm not familiar with that show, I'll have to check it out. Network or cable?
Mike – I like your optimism too. Both Lidge and Utley have battled injuries the past few seasons, and the Phils have still had success. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that is the case again this year.
Jenn – Good question! Who will you take aim at is really a matter of who has the best "assets", hmm?😉
A scratched cornea? Yikes! At least none of these injuries have affected the prized three of the rotation. Those three guys are the keys to the Phillies this season, so hopefully they at least can stay healthy…
Catherine, if it were up to me I'd wrap the starting rotation in bubble wrap when they're not pitching! I think if they can stay healthy and effective, the Phils can probably weather any other injuries relatively unscathed.
I think what ya need is to call a closer… a real closer… one that won't be hurt or scare you all the time in the 9th. Oh, and a second baseman named Utley wouldn't hurt either😉 Don't worry, ya still got the pitching to git er done.
I heard they are predicting snow for the Phillies Opener. Oh no! Well, good luck! I can't wait for ours on Thursday but in the meantime today is Opening Day Eve!

As long as he unleashes the beast against the Heat . . .
In 1498 a boy was bornin france,his name was AMARIO STUDEMAR,legend says he controls the strength of 1000 men.And most importantly can put balls in hoops.When he was just a little boy,the devil kidnapped him and forced him to kill innocent people.He was the devils slave and always being abused.They raided towns and spread grief among the people of earth.so one day AMARIO had enough and turned against his master and devoured the devil.AMARIO thought the probalem was fixed but was he wrong....so amario is running threw hell looking to escape and is being chased by guards.so now amario is at the gates of hell and an angel visits him.the angel says in order for you to pass you must jump and in order to do so drink this potion.so amario jumps and hops over the gate and now he is free!!!! but the devil is inside of him and possesses amario and he turns to a beast.the magicians and frontguards try to stop him but its no use.AMARIO must fight for control over the devil but he cannot.so the angel calls upon god and god traps amario in a nba court FOREVER!!! so now when amario plays the game of basketball........HE UNLEASHES THE BEAST!!!!!

I just thought I would share my story because I had the same questions that I see on this forum frequently when I started pumping. Your mileage may vary! My LO is 16 weeks and is in daycare 5 days a week from 7:15 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. She switches back and forth from breast to bottle easily. Although lately she is distractible and can be a little fussy
I knew before my LO was born (Nov. 2010) that I would have to leave her for an entire day when she was 5 weeks old to attend a work-related conference, even though I was still on maternity leave, and that I would have to go back to work when she was 8 weeks old. So when she was 3 weeks old, I started pumping an ounce and letting DH give it to her in a bottle, and then nursing her, once a day. Fortunately she took the bottle without a problem (although she did look at DH like, hey, what's going on here, LOL).
I had to figure out how much pumped milk to have on hand for the day of my conference, so I checked out the charts in A Nursing Mother's Companion to get a rough idea. I figured out she would need about 10 ounces, if she ate from the bottle at the same "rate" that I nursed her (which she didn't do, and I understand most babies don't). So that gave me 2 weeks to save up 10 ounces of BM, since I started pumping when she was 3 weeks old. But I also decided I had to leave her with 16 ounces, not 10, because I was not going to be the mom who got stuck in traffic or something and not have anything extra at the house to give her. It was so hard in the beginning, because I would pump after nursing and only get 1/2 an ounce or a few dribbles. What really helped was pumping at night, because she would wake up, nurse from one side, then fall back to sleep, and I would pump the other side, getting maybe 3/4 of an ounce to an ounce. I froze what I got. I think at one time I had maybe six or seven containers with a little BM in them in the freezer. I treated it like gold!
Conference day came and I had my 16 ounces of frozen BM. She actually ate about 9 ounces that day. I had to take my pump with me and pumped standing in a restroom stall with the pump hanging off the purse hook, using the battery pack. Fortunately I was able to take breaks when I needed them but I could only pump twice and got about 7 ounces. This is the first time I pumped without nursing her either before or after. So I freaked out and thought there was something wrong with me that I could not get 10 ounces and that I would never be able to go back to work. I thought I had a low storage capacity because my breasts were small. I thought the only reason I produced enough milk for her was because she was nursing every 2 hours.
I continued to pump at night until I went back to work because I was convinced that I could not pump enough during the day for her. And at first, I didn't. I sent her to daycare with 4 3-ounce bottles, of which she would eat 3, and I would freeze the 4th. I had to pump four times a day to barely get 10 or 11 ounces. Then a few weeks in, a few things clicked. First, pumping four times a day was not sustainable. I was getting no work done, and spending all my time going to the (single-user) restroom to pump. Second, my LO was not content with 3 3-ounce bottles (or at least my DCP thought she was not content) and my DCP asked me to put a little more in each bottle. She did not want to give her the 4th bottle because it was too close to the time I picked her up.
So, I just thought, I am going to have to pump only three times a day and make the best of it. It turns out that by pumping for a full 15 minutes 3 times a day I was able to get more milk than pumping for 10 minutes 4 times a day. Another thing I did (which many people cannot do) was to "inform" (not ask) my boss that I would be pumping in my office with the door closed (we have kind of an open door policy) three times a day but that I would be available by email and phone during those times. I put a sticky note on the door and sent my colleagues a one-time email telling them what I was doing so they would take it seriously. I also put a chair in front of the door just in case someone doesn't see the sign. I work while I pump.
So now I pump 3 times a day and get about 14 ounces a day (my production increased a little). I get to work 15 minutes early and pump first thing in the morning (after nursing LO at around 6:30 a.m. and taking her to DC at about 7, my first pump is around 8:15). Then around 11:30, then around 3. I send 3 4-ounce bottles a day, and don't fuss with an "emergency" bottle because it is too stressful to try to produce an extra bottle a day. In reality, my LO has two parents capable of picking her up so it would be a true emergency if neither of us could get there on time. Am considering asking my DCP to store some BM in her freezer in case that ever happens. Don't know why I have not yet done so. I freeze the few extra ounces I get. I nurse LO as soon as I get home, around 6 p.m. I have found drinking a LARGE glass of water in the morning with breakfast and plenty of water and food throughout the day really helps with the pumping-- I usually get almost 5 ounces on the first pump. Five ounces!! From someone who thought she would only ever be able to pump 3.5 ounces at the very most!
So I guess I'm posting this to say if you are nervous about pumping once you go back to work or for building up a freezer stash, try to be little relaxed about it for a few weeks because you will figure out what works for you and your LO. Also, now I leave my pump at work because it is so darn heavy. I take it home on the weekends and at home I also have a manual pump for the (rare) occasions LO sleeps longer than 4 hours at a stretch. Another thing-- it's DH's job to wash the pump parts and the bottles every night-- I'm not doing it. We also have two sets of horns/valves just in case we are super busy.
I hope this helps someone. Wish I had found this forum before I had to start figuring it out myself.

GAL Case Summary Form
GAL Due Process Procedure
GAL Frequently Asked Questions
Thank you for your dedication to serving some of New York City's most vulnerable people (namely, physically and mentally impaired people facing an eviction proceeding in Housing Court). If you wish to find out information on how to obtain payment upon completion of an APS case, print relevant court forms or forms necessary to obtain payment, learn more about community resources, or view information on past and upcoming Practical Workshop Series Topics, you may do so from this site.If you need additional information, feel free to call or send an email to Denise Colón‑Greenaway, Esq., MSW, Special Counsel for Court‑Based Interdisciplinary Programs, at (646) 386‑4200 or at email@example.com.
Accepting GAL Appointments
The GAL must submit a written consent to the Court upon accepting an appointment. Copies of a GAL Consent Form are available online and in the individual PARTS. Additionally, GALs should make arrangements with the court attorney to obtain a copy of the Order of Appointment and make copies of the ward's file as soon as possible. See Frequently Asked Questions for more information about getting started, duties, and other important aspects of GAL work.
The Human Resources Administration (HRA) agrees to compensate Guardians Ad Litem (GALs) pursuant to a Court order when HRA petitions the Court for the appointment of a GAL for, in most instances, an Adult Protective Services (APS) client. Compensation is also rendered when the Court makes a sua sponte appointment for a tenant who is an existing APS client. Compensation is fixed at $600 which GALs are entitled to upon completion of the case. Cases where APS is not involved are considered pro-bono and, as such, receive no compensation.
In order to ensure that payment is forthcoming, the Guardian Ad Litem must provide HRA with the following required documents:
1. A W-9 Federal Tax Form
2. Invoice
3. Order of Appointment
4. Affirmation or Affidavit of Services
A W-9 Federal Tax Form: This form must be submitted the first time a GAL submits a request for payment to HRA. This form does not have to be submitted in subsequent requests except when the GAL changes their address or their taxpayer Identification number. To print a copy of this form, please click on W-9 Federal Tax Form.
Invoice: These are forms generated by HRA that must be submitted each time a GAL requests payment from HRA. To print a copy of these forms, please click on Invoice.
Order of Appointment: GALs must submit the Court Order appointing them. That Order must contain language stating that the Department of Social Services agrees to pay the GAL a specific fee for services rendered as a GAL. This Order must be signed and dated by the Court.
Affirmation or Affidavit of Services: Section 1204 of the CPLR requires the GAL to file either an Affirmation or Affidavit of Services with the Court. Attorneys file an Affirmation of Services. Non-attorneys file an Affidavit of Services, which must be notarized. HRA, in turn, requires that a copy of this Affirmation or Affidavit of Services be included in all requests for payments by GALs to HRA. To print a sample copy of these forms, please click on Affirmation of Services or Affidavit of Services. Please note that these are samples. Therefore, you may use whichever form is relevant to you as a template in composing your own form.
HRA's Office of Legal Affairs has instituted a new electronic mailbox for GALs to use when submitting for payment. To expedite the payment process, it is strongly recommended that GALs either:
1. email a scanned PDF of the required documents (listed above) to email@example.com OR
2. fax the required documents directly to 917-639-0364.
Alternatively, GALs may also mail their documents to the address below. Please note, however, that mail submissions may result in delayed payment.

Intellectual Freedom Round Table Electronic List
At the 2004 Annual Conference in Orlando, we decided to make the IFRT e-list an IFRT-members-only e-list. It is our hope that all of you who are not members will choose to become members! Much of what is discussed on the e-list focuses on specific intellectual freedom topics, so participation on the e-list is a way to involve members in IFRT's mission and activities. However, even if you don't join, you can still keep up with what IFRT is doing, since read-only access is available.
For more information about IFRT, including membership, we encourage you to check out our Web site. Thank you very much for your interest in IFRT. For information on how to join this e-list, contact Shumeca Pickett, IFRT staff liaison.

Twenty students and a security officer were either stabbed or slashed during a rampage at a high school in Murrysville, Pa., on Wednesday. The stabbing suspect has been identified as 16-year-old Alex Hribal.
Hribal was arraigned as an adult and faces four counts of attempted homicide, 21 counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a weapon on school grounds.
Dan Stevens, the county deputy emergency management coordinator, stated that Hribal had a very minor Facebook presence, didn't have much experience on Twitter and is not believed to have had a cellphone. Hribal's attorney, Patrick Thomassey, said his client "was not a troubled young man to this point."
Hribal lived with his parents and older brother in this upper middle-class neighborhood, about six miles from his school, where the stabbings took place.
Harold Hribal, the father of Alex Hribal, spoke to media on Wednesday, April 9, 2014, saying "My prayers go out to everyone who was injured today and I hope they recover as soon as possible."
A female student at Franklin Regional Senior High School who witnessed a part of Wednesday's stabbings noted that Hribal was very quiet during the five-minute-long attack: "He just was kind of doing it," she said. "And he had this, like, look on his face that he was just crazy and he was just running around just stabbing whoever was in his way."
Brett Hurt, a sophomore at Franklin who suffered a stab wound in the back and a bruised lung, spoke at a news conference Thursday. Hurt said the attack was a "blur," but that when he realized he was bleeding, he was thinking "will I survive or will I die?" Hurt credits his friend Gracey Evans with saving his life by applying pressure to his wound.
Student Nate Scimio is being called a hero by classmates for pulling the fire alarm and telling others to run during the rampage. After the attack, he posted this photo to Instagram with the caption "Chillin at Children's" Hospital shortly after the stabbing rampage at Franklin Regional Senior High School in Murrysville.

- Kavanagh, Lydia; Neil, David; Cokley, John
- Abstract
- Teamwork is intrinsic in higher education. It allows for: larger real-world projects to be set, teamwork skills to be improved, collaborative learning, and the establishment of student social networks. However, in order to ensure that learning objectives are achieved, it is imperative that higher education teachers implement student team projects effectively and professionally. This project was concerned with a multifaceted approach to creating effective, productive and happy student teams and minimising team dysfunction and poor project outcomes. The PETS (Proactively Ensuring Team Success) process, which addresses team dysfunction and social loafing, has been tested, evaluated and continuously improved across a range of disciplines since 2002. This project has produced a printed manual available online, an interactive and customisable website for students called Working in Teams, and an online peer-evaluation tool called WebPAf. Together these three components contain all the essential resources for the PETS process, including interactive teamwork exercises, downloadable models and examples of team structures, and video and audio packages to complement text and images.
