Shut Up and Pitch
"You don't boo your own team. I don't care who
you are or what you say or just because you spent your money to
come here to watch us play that somebody happens to make one bad
pitch and give up a homer and you are going to start booing?"
–Ryan Franklin, April 20, 2011
Um… okay. My patience is… er… nah, forget it. I don't have any patience anymore!!!
We're NOT TALKING about JUST ONE PITCH, Mr. Franklin. We're NOT TALKING about JUST ONE YACKED performance. We're TALKING about the difference of 4 or 5 games in the WIN column.
And it's only April!!!
So yeah. Do your job. Get guys out.
THEN we'll stop booing.
Keep this in mind, sir: YOU make millions of dollars whether you f*** up or not.
WE, the FANS, we are the ONES who KEEP YOU EMPLOYED by dishing out $45 (or more) per game, per SEAT… the ones getting raped by beer vendors selling $8 bottles of crap (Bud Light)… the ones who have to put up with your whiny whimpers to the reporters in the press.
We have every damn right to boo your @$$.
You don't like it?
Man up.
And don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

"Shut up and pitch." My thoughts exactly. I said the same thing about it not just being one bad pitch or one game. When your chance of blowing saves is at 80%, that's a problem!
– Tiffany
Indeed, Tiffany, and that problem is spelled F-R-A-N-K-L-I-N.
Sounds like there have been a bunch of blown saves going on here, so "Shut up and pitch" is a valid response! (It also sounds like the name of an album. Oh wait. That was "Shut up and sing." LOL)
LOL hahhaa short, sweet, and to the point. Love your tone here. I feel bad for Franklin, but yeah I don't think he should have said all that…BE A MAN!
W-T-F. There's no crying in baseball, Milton Bradley. Oh sorry, wrong story.
Whining with that ridiculous ZZ-Top meets convicted felon beard is just disturbing. The weight of that thing probably takes two to three mph off his fastball easily.
There is no power in the beard. Learn it, Love it, Live it.
PS: Thanks for screwing over my fantasy team, Ryan. Thornton is already filling my demoted closer roster spot.
La Russa should've seen that Franklin can't handle the closing deal anymore and made the change before the guy freaked like this. That's on the manager.
I'd have hard time booing one of the player on my team. I have yet to boo any Angels and that includes Kaz and Rodney. However, if one of the players that was messing up and getting boos form other corners starting complaining about the booers like this, I might have to rethink my stance.
– Kristen
Jane — We could change the lyrics. I'm cool with it😉
Virginia — He can be **********, just not vocal and mean to the fans. That's baseball suicide in the Lou.
Rob — Yeah, with those two you got a LOT of problems, brother!
Prince — It may be on the manager, but it's on Franklin for talking crazy to the press.
Catherine — I'm on it! Do ya want Bobby Jenks back?
Kristen — Yeah, once they start sounding off on YOU then you will boo. Believe me.
My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different
web page and thought I should check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking over your weeb pag again.
It's very effortless to find out any matter on web as compared
to textbooks, as I found this post at this website.

This is probably going to be long.... Kudos to anyone who can stick with it!
Okay... My daughter started out in the 13th percentile on the charts a week after she was born. I exclusively breast fed her for a month, and she wasn't gaining weight at a rate to suit the nurses in lactation, so they suggested I supplement... So I did. And then she gained enough to satisfy them, but then my supply dropped. Those same nurses in lactation then raked me over the coals for supplementing. So, I busted my butt with supplements and got my supply back and now my daughter is exclusively breastfed again.
The problem is, if I don't supplement she doesn't gain enough weight to satisfy the pediatrician or the lactation nurses. But if I do supplement they jump on me for supplementing! The thing is, it's not a low supply issue, when I pump I typically get around 4-6 ounces per pumping session now. She has a pretty good latch most of the time, however sometimes she's lazy and doesn't want to latch properly. She never seems hungry after nursing, and spends anywhere from 5-10 minutes on each side. If I pump afterward I am lucky to maybe get a half an ounce. So I would guess she's draining me pretty good.
I've noticed some issues that my pediatrician ignores when I bring up my concerns. My daughter spits up a lot... And when I say a lot, I'm talking a couple hours after a feeding, she's still spitting up. Sometimes, when she burps it sounds like spit up is coming up with it, but never does. Not sure if she's swallowing it or what. She gets the hiccups after nearly every feeding. After some feedings she will pull off and go into a full blown screaming fit, but won't re-latch or take a bottle....so I'm not sure if she's still hungry, gassy, or what?
I'm concerned that maybe I don't make enough hind milk? Should I try and get her to nurse on one side per feeding to make sure she gets enough hind milk? I just don't know what to do, and why she isn't gaining weight like she should. She nurses/takes a bottle about 8 times a day. We're lucky to get her to take more than 2 oz of BM out of a bottle, too.

Visiting downtown Marietta on Wednesday, Velma Kee noted a difference between the atmosphere on Front Street and the 100 block of Greene Street, just around the corner.
"It looks desolate," Kee, who splits her time between Florida, Texas and Gandeeville, W.Va., said as she looked at Greene Street, where three of the five buildings on the north side of Ohio Street are vacant and displaying various signs of wear and tear. "It's kind of a depressing feeling."
"This is great down here," Kee, 71, said turning to Front Street, where several people were walking up and down the sidewalk and visiting shops.
Owners of vacant and worn buildings in the 100 and 200 blocks of Greene Street are aware work needs to be done, pointing out that it takes both time and money. But with the area serving as the first glimpse of downtown to people coming from Interstate 77, some wonder what kind of impression it's creating.
"Since the majority of our tourists come from the interstate exit, that's the first two blocks of downtown Marietta that they see, and it's not the best image," said City Councilman Harley Noland, D-at large, an ex officio member of the Marietta-Washington Convention and Visitors Bureau and owner of the Levee House property on the levee just off Greene Street.
Noland said it's not just the vacant buildings that contribute to the situation. The city has not been able to afford to add decorative lighting as it has in other downtown areas, where those posts are adorned with flower baskets and flags placed by ReStore Marietta.
"It's as if they're a forgotten two blocks – but they're the entrance to our downtown," Noland said.
Roof repairs are under way at 133 Greene St., where the Four Seasons Bar was located until it closed last year following the death of its operator. Faded paint, different colored sections of brick and boarded windows are visible on the outside, but everything can't be addressed at once, said building owner Tina Thomas.
"It takes a lot of cash to fix these buildings," she said. "I'll do the work when I get a tenant."
Like 133 Greene St., the single-story brick building at 123 Greene is owned by Thomas and seeking a tenant. It served as a temporary home for the Boys and Girls Club of Washington County a few years ago.
Next door to that are 119 and 121 Greene St. The former is up for leasing from Silverheels Property Management and most recently served as the headquarters for the Washington County Republican Party during the 2012 election. The latter has a sign on the door reading Marietta Industries LLC and windows covered by curtains. A number for that company could not be located.
Across the street, at 128 Greene, stands a small building with a wooden exterior. Once the location of his father's barbershop, owner Jerry Wynn said the building's been used as storage in recent years. Wynn, 79, intends to sell it but hasn't been able to do a lot of upkeep lately due to health concerns.
"I'll probably do some repair on it if I don't sell it to somebody," he said.
In the 200 block, a building owned by Residential Home for the Developmentally Disabled LLC stands empty between the Locker Room Sports Bar and an apartment building owned by Mitcham Group LLC. Representatives of RHDD did not return calls seeking comment, but city officials said the not-for-profit entity moved out due to expensive repairs that needed to be made.
Roberta Casto, 62, who lives in one of the apartments next door, said she's concerned about the deterioration of the building.
"Now we just sit and wait until it goes 'kaboom,'" she said.
Mayor Joe Matthews said the city's Building Enforcement Board got a complaint about peeling stucco at the former Four Seasons building, but it was determined there was no safety issue. Otherwise, he's heard no complaints about the vacant buildings along Greene Street.
"I would love to fill up every building, but, you know, businesses come and businesses go," he said. "I think we're pretty vibrant compared to downtowns in a lot of areas."
Occupied buildings
Mitcham Group owner Wendy Myers said it is a concern when buildings in an area look vacant and uncared for. But her company hasn't had any trouble filling the five apartments at 223 Greene St.
"People just love being downtown," she said. "The interiors are pretty great."
Myers admitted the exterior of her company's building could use some work too.
"We have some peeling paint that we're going to be addressing this summer," she said.
Myers said the Greene Street buildings' proximity to the road and lack of a buffer from the river explains some of the wear on the structures' facades.
Steve Medley owns Cole's Tire and Supply, which has been at 205 Greene St. since 1958. He said he would like to see the area cleaned up but he's pleased with the location.
"Our traffic is always good; our business is always good," he said.
Medley noted one challenge to repairing or improving property along Greene are building code regulations. When a building he owned at 207 Greene St. with upstairs apartments burned down more than a decade ago, he could not rebuild it for use as a residential structure. Now it's a warehouse where tires and other items are stored.
Help on the way?
One owner of a Greene Street building contacted the city about getting assistance with repairing the structure, Marietta development director Andy Coleman said. The only option they had to offer was application for a property tax deferral through the Community Reinvestment Area established in 2007.
Only one business has taken advantage of the program, which allows successful applicants to defer up to 100 percent of the property tax payments on improvements of $5,000 or more for up to 12 years.
"What we need to do is market it," said Councilman Mike McCauley, D-2nd Ward, whose ward includes the downtown area.
Coleman said his department is preparing a business startup guide to tell entrepreneurs about the CRA and other useful information. Noland said the guide should include directions on how to apply for federal and state historic preservation tax credits, which can save an owner the tax equivalent of 25 percent or more of their restoration.
Noland also wants to see the city's website link to real estate companies to showcase properties to potential buyers outside the immediate area.
In addition, the city is projecting a 3 percent increase in Community Development Block Grant funds in the coming year, which could go toward the decorative lighting in the area. If those poles went up, ReStore Marietta would step in with flower baskets for them, said Dave Schramm, president of the nonprofit organization that works to promote the downtown area.
Schramm said Greene Street is definitely in ReStore's purview, but the group is still relatively young with limited resources. That should change when ReStore achieves its original goal and Marietta receives its designation as a Main Street community, something expected to happen this year.
"That opens us up to resources nationwide," Schramm said, referring to grants as well as planning and logistical support.

- Abstract
- Spam emails are invading users without their consent and filling their mail boxes with email trash. Priceless effort and time of the users and organizations are wasted in handling them. To circumvent anti-spam solutions, many spammers are sending spam email with image-only content. In this paper we propose a spam detection approach in emails with text and image contents. In the first part, a novel framework for extracting intelligent information from emails with image content is presented and a prototype implementation is shown. In the second part, a proposal for multi-layered spam detection algorithm is presented, which enhances existing approaches.

The Phillies were blown out and shutout by the New York Mets, 8-0. They lost the series, 1-2.
Another Error Starts Another Mets Rally
In the fifth inning, Juan Lagares sent a fly ball to centerfield. It looked to be an easy catch for Ben Revere, but the ball was dropped. Actually, it was only ruled a drop by the second base umpire. The replay showed that Revere indeed made the catch, but lost the ball on the exchange. It was scored a three-base error, and Lagares started the inning on third base.
The Mets would go on to hit three doubles in the inning, giving them a 4-0 lead at the time.
Bottom line: Revere should have used two hands on the catch.
Lannan Struggles
John Lannan didn't get the job done. He lasted only five innings, surrendering six runs on eight hits. The Mets, a typically weak hitting ball club, smacked Lannan around hitting extra base hit after extra base hit.
On the other hand, Matt Harvey controlled the Phillies, tossing six shutout innings. Harvey allowed only two hits. The Mets bullpen continued their recent success as they held the Phillies to just two hits.
Bottom line: You can't win if you don't score.
37 Comments
If Montgomery's vote of confidence in The Rube is not a headfake and it's full-speed ahead into the pisser, that ballpark is going to be some kind of seriously empty come the playoffs. On the other hand, maybe with the impending television contract about to make the organization stupid-rich, the brass doesn't give a hoot.
Of course it will be empty come playoffs, because the Phils wont be in the playoffs.
Ben Revere never uses two hands, ever.
Neither does John Mayberry
Which may explain why Ben can catch the ball (most of the time) but can never throw it. Anybody check closely to see if he has two arms?
Phillies better get their act together !
these are the kinds of games that get managers fired.
How can you fire the manager when his starter is a 4A pitcher and his bullpen sucked in Lehigh Valley. How can fire the manager when the starting right fielder and center fielder couldn't patrol a Little League field? how can you fire the manager when seasoned veterans can't work a count? Just sayin…
Please pardon my typos but I am apoplectic at this point.
…and they're facing the best young pitcher in the game. It seems this would be one of the games least likely to lead to a manager being fired.
Not fair.
Perhaps you're correct about Delmon Young, but Revere could easily run down a ball on a little league field.
He just couldn't toss it back to second on one hop.
As for why you would fire the manager, I'd say to drop Charlie's blood pressure to safer levels. He's certainly not getting any help in that department from his players.
Simple. It's baseball. You can't fire the team so you fire the manager.
Not fair-but it's the way it goes.
if Amaro fires Manuel he might as well fire himself for compiling this group. Don't get me wrong because I fully understand what you are saying, but is Sandberg ready to take over this team? Countless times this season he has been responsible for poor defensive positioning including twice this afternoon when Wright doubled. Even the broadcast staff had to highlight the fact that Wright has consistently hit the ball to right center in this park although twice Revere was positioned in straight away center. I really don't think that Mr. Cub, who was never even on their radar for manager (the Cub's manager that is), is ready to take this job. Manuel will end this season as the skipper and the team will move on from there,
Other than Utley (and arguably Laynce Nix to the extent of his talents), this team seems to have a low baseball IQ..
And I'm not sure who's responsible for that.
The dumbest ones are certainly not exclusively products of the Phillies organization yet none of them, with the possible exception of Dom Brown, seem to improve with coaching.
There also seems to be a unspoken truth on the major league level that all serious coaching must take place on a minor league level which begs the question why major league teams carry personnel called "coaches."
In fact, the use of the word "manager" rather than "coach" as in other major sports implies a job focused on juggling lineups and making strategic game-time decisions rather than teaching these guys about taking pitches, running out grounders, bunting, throwing to the correct base, correcting bad habits, etc.
I don't see too many bad habits being corrected on this team, so either they're dumber than the average collection of MLB players or their coaches are not doing their jobs. The cause of these recurring and basic mistakes appears rooted in something other than the limits of their natural talents.
Yeah, some players, (like Delmon Young) may not be coachable or give a damn but I don't believe that's the universal issue on this team – or at least I don't want to believe it that's the issue. But that's also where the managerial role needs to cross paths with the coaches. A manager should want to punch out a player who doesn't run out a ground ball sooner than wanting to punch out a reporter for asking why no one is getting on base.
Hey wb,
Maybe a little harsh on that D Young don't give a hoot mentality, no? Pretty tough for a fan to read into that and be decisive.
Little update on your well documented Mets ahead of the Phils in the standings view. Wheeler and Harvey is good. Which we pretty much knew was coming, so it's not that big a deal. And the Mets run a maybe even better than pretty decent offense anchored by Wright and Choo Choo Coleman, but that pen is doomsday, and they won't waste energy trying to deal to improve it.
Now where you might be right by coincidence is if the Phils do enough overhauling by the deadline and really sacrifice this wonderful present for the future, and there's enough attitude decelation as a result, the Mets won't finish ahead of the Phils, but the Phils might finish behind the Mets. Realism as a backdrop, it wasn't, isn't and won't be happenin.'.
Yo Ken,
I'm still holding to that early prediction (or as I believe I stated, possibility) of the Mets finishing ahead of the Phils. I've looked like a fool (often) before and on this count I hope I look like a fool again. Right now, the team looks like it's a bone spur in Cliff Lee's arm or a totally cold from here on out Dom Brown (could happen) from dropping to the cellar. You can't keep rotating in catchers, infielders and half your pitching staff from double A and expect to finish as high as 3rd place in the majors. The Mets aren't pretty either. Just call it as Charlie might say, a hunch.
As for Delmon, yeah, perhaps I'm being a little harsh trying to read into his core psyche but I was really turned off by his comments this spring suggesting he wasn't at all anxious to get back on the field (and for the lame reasons he gave). I've just never heard that before from any professional in any sport save maybe the Sixers total waste of a second overall pick, Shawn Bradley. Even Andrew Bynum did a better job of faking sincerity.
Man, that was one "fugly" game. The Phil's are wasting chances to gain. Since mid-April, they have the best record in their division: 31-29. I had to read that twice because the way they played you would have thought it would be worse. Gotta try to start a streak on this road trip, an who better to start? None other than Cliff Lee.
I didn't expect the Phillies to win today with John Lannen vs. Matt Harvey. Looked like they might score in the 4th inning but Harvey just overpowered Brown and Delmon Young. Harvey is probably the top pitcher in the league now. Regarding Revere's play, I have never seen that called before and I have watched a lot of baseball. I thought if it was caught and lost on the exchange, its a catch. I have never studied the rule though. I am not sure what happened on the 1-2 pitch to Harvey. He has swung at 2 balls outside and at his ankles so I don't know why that pitch was belt-high and over the plate. Lannen missed his spot really badly. If he gets Harvey out, maybe he gets out of that inning.
Anyway, the team just has to move on. In truth, maybe they should be further out. They got more out of Cloyd than Lehigh Valley has gotten out of him. Lee has been spectacular.
I know there are a few of the Nation that still believe the Fightins have a chance. Even if we disregard games like yesterday – and there have been way too many of them – where the Phils are dominated by the opposing starter but when we reach the BP – the same results, a complete shutdown – lets look at the lineup and tell me what you think:
HItting .262 and playing typical Jimmy defense, one of the best in the league. Did anyone really expect more from him offensively? Average wise no, power perhaps. Speed, he has only attempted to steal 11 bases (I don't know why).
Michael Young
After a pitiful May, he is hitting .287 frankly, right where I would expect him to hit and his defense is not really killing us. Lack of power, lack of speed and a penchant for hitting into double plays (hopefully that affliction has passed!)
Chase Utley
Frankly, he is doing more offensively than I thought we would get out of him. Not since he came back from injury but the fact that he is even playing is a plus.
Ryan Howard
I still hear murmurs of his shoddy play at first, I think its more than adequate. His average now is above his career average but the lack of power and clutch hitting is too significant. We would have 3 perhaps 4 more wins if his doubles were just a little loftier.
Dominic Brown
Above average, above expectations. Cooled off tremendously but if the season even ended now he still might be considered our top offensive player. Defense is not killing us.
Ben Revere
Finally Ben is starting to show some signs of the promise when he was brought here, offensively. Defensively, he has been quite a mix – some stellar, some shoddy it seems Ben needs to learn his position better. The stories about his arm were true from the start – what arm?
Carlos Ruiz
So far, I'd say fail. The remainder of the rip shod catching core – fail. I love Chooch but he is not ready to play, he needs more time.
We are seeing his best right now. Sure he has cooled off some but still this is better than I have ever seen him play especially offense.
Demon Young
Adios – fail
Frandsen, Galvis, Nix – pile them altogether and you have flashes of offense at best. Nothing more. When and if they start playing regularly it brings out the .220 mediocrity. Flashes at best.
Wonderkind – thank God for Clifford Lee.
bust – injury, old age, combination?
A plus, regardless of a few shoddy performances, he has been our second best starter.
Not impressed
Worn out, velocity is down and that is his and has been his ticket.
Horst, Adams, Dustbin, Savery – lump them altogether – its all mediocre.
This is our team, like it or not this is what we have for 2013. Does anyone see signs of improvement?
There are always ways to improve, but it is the willingness to want to embrace that improvement that makes the difference, whether it is watching more film, shagging extra fly balls, trying new approaches, etc. Unfortuantely, I think that tone of approach comes from the top. Montgomery is happy with Amaro and what he has done, remember he is batting .300, and Amaro is firm and quite staunch in his resolve to not let egg hit his punum. For example, Amaro vehemently defends Delmon Young as the best choice for right field and has been quoted as saying their is no viable replacement from within the organization, and that Young is traditionally and statistically a strong finisher. That type of thinking should help explain the team's direction. How is Mayberry not an upgrade, albeit slightly offensively, but a tremendous one defensively. Cholly is stuck between his old school loyalty to his veterans, who are struggling, and the mandates from on high, so now he is frustrated to the point that he doesn't know what to do. (See the Eskin exchange). Plus, Pyschotron (Papeltool) is indirectly pointing fingers and that is where the team starts to unravel – the locker room blame game. I just hope that they can all clear their heads, get back to playing Phillies baseball, and use this road trip as a spark. Otherwise, the words "trade deadline" will take on a more definitive meaning.
Holy McGuillicuddy. You answered a serious analysis with a serious analysis. This team is a joke the way it's playing. I guess more power to those that take this stuff seriously.
If Charlie ever gets around to actually punching Eskin it may be at the top of the 2013 highlight reel.
Should we do pleasure or business first?
Pleasure – rock solid headline on the article. Peachy keen work.
And Essay Man, er Brooks, sorry…
You praised Kendrick. That's fine. Check out his financial status and free agent status and do tell if you'd keep him, or deal him.
The division sucks. The new AL Central of a few years back. The team is doing a yeoman's job of fitting the standard. That, I'm impressed with.
I don't belive I've ever gone on so much so, I get a pass. Point is, we cannot expect much more out of this team the way it stands. Kendrick will get what the market gives up, which will be too much. I would think about using him to seek out a Machado type – there has to be more out there…
Seems your position is be willing to deal him. Probably smart. As he's eligible for arb and has free agency coming up for 2015, a club could acquire him for strictly the short term if they chose, where for what he contributes, he's pretty inexpensive. That could be worth something decent.
I've spent a fair amount of time considering which Phillie might face another (actually ex) Phil in a crucial playoff spot. It's not like this year to date is a final result, but I think if we see an at bat like that, THAT'S when this drudgery sets in at a different level. You know, like a Lee versus Utley is like a Giant-Cardinal faceoff. However it goes, it goes.
There have been alot of lopsided losses this year. There seems to be more this year than in recent memory. I could be wrong but I don't feel like doing the research. It seems like every few games they don't even bother to show up and get smoked. No pride, no fire, no motivation. It's sad really. I think they will be sellers at the deadline. Just don't expect much in return, because the Phillies don't have anything of value unless they sell Papelbon or Lee. I'm thinking maybe a couple of small moves. I'd like to see them cut Rollins loose though. Galvis is more than capable of playing shorstop. I think he can develop into a .260 hitter eventually. Take the money you save and get a hitter for next year.
None of the "Seasoned Veterans" are really making an effort to adjust to aging. Rollins is a good ballplayer who was a solid leader for the good years. If the Phils try to move him they are going to have to get pennies on the dollars bc of his contract. It makes better sense if you are going to break the senior citizen party up. We got to move Lee, Cinco Ocho. They might have to sign Chooch to a short term deal to let the young catchers develop more. An interesting move would be to see what we could get for Dom Brown. Maybe Tampa might be willing to give up David Price and Wil Myers. I say this because Price is going to cost to much money for them. Charlie said before he would love to have him. Myers is a young hitter who could play RF and Ruf could play LF.
We don't have what it would take to get price and Myers.. at this point we're better off signing Mr steroid Manny Ramirez and playing him over delmon young
Ha, ha, ha. Really, Myers & Price for Dom Brown. Really…You couldn't get either one in a one on one trade. Ha, ha, ha.
Even if the Phils had played errorless ball (and that includes mental errors) this game was going into the loss column. A great game for Lannan would still likely be two or three runs given up; Harvey can easily do better, even against great offenses.
To use this particular game as an example of how bad the Phils are is just a gigantic overreaction. Maybe the team is lousy, but this game is not the one I'd single out as bad baseball.
"Bottom line: Revere should have used two hands on the catch."
Jamie Moyer and I agree, he should use two hands. But at some point the ball has to be transferred to the throwing hand, and I don't really see how using two hands in catching it would have helped the transfer.
Not to attempt to rush Kyle Kendrick into the trade market, but this list of the top 28 starting pitcher trade candidates is interesting.
First, the farcical side of it is that this isn't black and white science. It's an arbitrary listing that would appear based on number of times mentioned in rumors. Without question, how are a good half these guys listed better candidates to be traded than Kendrick. Some, off reputation longer term might be considered "better," but I bet a tonof people who have seen KK pitch this year (good AND not good) could see him helping a team more down the stretch, and the short term option of right to non tender isn't exactly bad, and he's not necessarily gonna command super bucks through arb and eventual free agency.
At the risk of falling into the quicksand trap that engulfs many of us fans on at least occasion of overrating the players we follow and or root for, in the overall scheme of things, I'd offer a top of the head view that KK is DRASTICALLY superior to quite a number of these guys, and if Ruben finds a GM that appreciates KK, hardly an impossible task, some worthy value could be negotiated.
IT is NOT the end of the world if Kendrick hangs here beyond this year. But au contraire to this interesting list, though seemingly a little misleading as it is, if the hell with sell keeps turning toward sell like hell, KK oughta be a pretty marketable commodity.
And now, for the Pig Latin portion of the readershiop.
The franchise right now is a complete disaster.No great young players. (If your answer to that is Dom Brown, check tape of those embarassing bloway AB's vs a Harvey.) Nothing in the farm system. A scouting Dept that is clearly incompetent…just a very bad situation at CPB. Get ready for a few years of real bad baseball.
Not fair..Harvey blows away a lot of guys..Brown is having a breakout year!
He had a breakout 2 weeks. Good hitters don't get embarassed like he did yesterday. No clue.
yeah cause its so easy to hit a 99 mph fastball
Even great hitters get embarrassed teejvee. I know this game is the most humbling thing I've ever tried.

I'm starting to be much more confident today- thanks to you ladies, this wonderful forum and thanks to me manning up enough to send an email to Dr. Jack Newman! I'll share the email with you ladies (just in case anyone isn't sure who he is, he's like the ultimate breastfeeding resource- very pro-breastfeeding and he really is all about growing a breastfeeding relationship with your child... I mailed him asking about making insufficient hindmilk and his response was:
I wish we had never heard of foremilk and hindmilk. All that does is cause confusion. Forget hindmilk. You cannot tell what % of fat is in the milk by checking in a container. The thinner the container, the more fat will be at the top. It's not a question of fat, or increasing the "hindmilk". If the baby gets more milk, he will gain faster, hindmilk or foremilk. But what does so-so weight gain mean anyway? If you are giving bottles, this is a good way to decrease the milk supply. A baby this age can drink from an open cup or have milk mixed with his solids. And if he's eating solids, even if he doesn't get as much milk as he might want, he should gain fine.
Well that pretty much did it for me, lol I won't question anymore, for sure. I think i'll just re-incorporate more solids (today I gave organic brown rice cereal and breast milk mixed and homemade acorn squash baby food- she loved both) and add in the breastmilk after the meal and in-between "bites" lol in fact, today the milk appeared to be thicker than usual and I theorized maybe it just takes lots of time pumping before that thicker milk really gets stimulated from the mammary glands. I'm so thankful for everyone's help- I appreciate it beyond words. I'm going to keep going like this and throw in other little tastes of other things so baby can further develop her pallet! Thanks to all!

Education and Empowerment-Understanding Critical Race Theory and Qualitative Research
Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 quarters
Taught by
Are educators challenged to meet the needs of diverse learners in the public schools? While scholars generate research to illuminate the lived experiences of marginalized students, why are such findings missing from educational policy, curriculum development and teacher practice today? As we strive to make connections between critical race theory and schooling, we argue that the voices of diverse populations are necessary for a thorough analysis of the educational system.
In order to pursue these essential questions, our program will interrogate how dominant theories of learning and knowledge are often legitimized without regard for race, class, culture and gender. Critical race theory (CRT) provides a framework to consider multiple perspectives specific to history, diaspora, language and power. Through these perspectives, we will analyze diverse ways of knowing that inform new systems of educational policy and teacher praxis. This work will be useful for those students considering graduate school in educational policy, qualitative research and teacher preparation.
Through the fall and winter, we will practice qualitative methods to describe and analyze diverse perspectives through our community service in the schools and field research. Student teams will conduct their own project and learn how to: 1) identify a research problem and question; 2) select qualitative research methods (i.e. participant observation, counter-narratives and oral history) to answer their question and prepare a human subjects application; 3) complete a literature review; 4) collect, code and analyze data; and, lastly; 5) write and present their research findings to targeted audiences.
Over the course of this program, students will develop analytical skills to identify how CRT frameworks inform institutional practices. Program participants will meet with educators, advocates and students to analyze the various theories at play in various sites of study, as well as in the classroom. In order to demonstrate their understanding of CRT and qualitative research, students will complete a formal paper for possible conference submission, a policy brief or grant proposal, and recommendations to present to community stakeholders.

has anyone noticed variations in reed finishing quality ?
For example:
I bought some Rico Royal reeds for my son. Compared to my Vandorens they are very rough on the flat and cut surface. It is like they are finished with 320 grit or less sandpaper.
The vandorens, by comparison are finished with 600 grit sandpaper.
I found the RR hard on my lips until I lightly sanded them down.
I'm curious if others have seen the same or have any problems with the finished reeds ?

Dodgers win game 1
I'm glad we got that first win out of the way. Wouldn't it be awesome if we can win tomorrow and come home only needing 1 win to go to the NLCS ? I hope so.
Freeway Series
Who wants to see a Freeway Series ? Dodgers vs Angels in the World Series. Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times wants to see one. I really don't care. I want to win a World Series. It doesn't matter who we beat. A more interesting series would be against the Boston Red Sox. Imagine that. Also, I think it's too early to be talking about a potential Freeway Series. The Dodgers and Angels have to beat 2 teams before reaching the World Series. It's not even in my mind. Let's beat the CUBS !!
1908 ! 1908 ! 1908 !
The last time the Cubs won a World Series was on 1908 !http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/player.swf?mediaId=3619714
Dodgers Daily Game Notes
The following are the Dodgers daily game notes that the media gets….
OCTOBER BASEBALL – The NL West Division Champion Dodgers take on the NL Central Champion Cubs in the first game of the National League Division Series.
The Dodgers and Cardinals are the only two National League teams to reach the postseason in three of the past five seasons.
POSTSEASON FLAVOR: The Dodgers' starting lineup for Game 1 has 24 years of postseason experience entering the 2008 playoffs. Rafael Furcal (7 years), Russell Martin (1 year), Manny Ramirez (9 years), James Loney (1 year), Casey Blake (1 year), and Derek Lowe (5 years) have all reached the postseason at least once in their careers. In terms of postseason series, those starters have played in a combined 38 playoff series (Furcal – 6, Martin – 1, Ramirez – 19, Loney – 1, Blake – 2, and Lowe – 9).
WHAT ARE THE ODDS? -The Dodgers and Cubs have never met in the postseason. After 118 years and 2,024 games, the teams are tied in the all-time series 1,012-1,012. The two franchises first played each other on May 29, 1890 in Brooklyn.
BACK IN ACTION – Rafael Furcal will start tonight at shortstop despite missing 125 games this season due to back surgery. At the time of his injury in May, he led the Majors with 49 hits, ranked second with a .366 batting average, and third with a .448 on-base percentage. Furcal has reached the postseason in eight of his first nine seasons in the Majors, with last year being his first season without a playoff appearance.
MANNY LONGBALLS – Manny Ramirez has hit 24 home runs in the postseason and 14 of them have come on the road. Both of those totals are Major League records. Since joining the Dodgers on Aug. 1, Ramirez leads all of baseball with a .396 average, .489 on-base percentage and a .743 slugging percentage.
Those hitting directly in front of Manny Ramirez in the lineup are batting a combined .383 (82-for- 214). Russell Martin, who hits ahead of him tonight, is batting .321 (9-for-28) with four walks.
JUST LIKE THE GOOD OL' DAYS – Dodger Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully will work the first and last three innings on KABC 790 during the postseason. Rick Monday and Charley Steiner will call the middle three innings on radio. On the Spanish-language side, Hall of Famer Jaime Jarrín will handle the play-by-play duties with Pepe Yñiguez and Fernando Valenzuela on KHJ/La Ranchera 930. The Dodgers are the only Major League team with two Hall of Famers on their broadcast team.
BATTLE TESTED – The Dodgers' 25-man postseason roster includes five players who have played in the Fall Classic – Jeff Kent, Derek Lowe, Greg Maddux, Juan Pierre, and Manny Ramirez. All five have earned rings – Kent with Toronto, Lowe and Ramirez with Boston, Maddux with Atlanta and Pierre with Florida.
BUILDING FROM WITHIN – Of the 25 players on the postseason roster, 10 were drafted and developed by the Dodgers – Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton, Blake DeWitt, Matt Kemp, Clayton Kershaw, James Loney, Russell Martin, James McDonald, Chan Ho Park and Cory Wade. Andre Ethier was drafted by Oakland but reached the Majors for the first time with Los Angeles.
WRIGLEY MEMORIES – Tonight's starter, Derek Lowe, is the only Major League pitcher to win at least 12 games in each of the past seven seasons. Over his final 10 starts this year, he went 6-1 with a 1.27 ERA and held opponents to a .195 batting average. His best start as a Dodger came on Aug. 31, 2005 at Wrigley Field. The right-hander threw a complete game one-hitter, as he allowed a leadoff infield single to Jerry Hairston in the first inning and did not allow another hit, retiring 26 of the final 28 batters, including 14 in a row at one point.
TURNING IT AROUND – The Dodgers were a season-high 7.0 games out of first place on April 25 but came back to win the NL West, matching the largest deficit the franchise has had to overcome to win a division or NL pennant. The 1966 Dodgers were also 7.0 games out of first on May 13 and won the NL pennant that season before losing in the Fall Classic.
PACK YOUR BAGS – After tomorrow night's flight home, the Dodgers will have traveled more than 58,000 miles from the time they reported to Vero Beach until Game 3 of the NLDS. The team will have made 37 flights, including their historic trip to Beijing, China in March where they faced the Padres in the first-ever Major League games on Chinese soil.
WHEN THEY WERE JUST CUBS – Among the former Cubs on the Dodgers' postseason roster are third base coach Larry Bowa and coach Jeff Pentland, pitcher Greg Maddux, infielder Nomar Garciaparra, outfielder Juan Pierre, and General Manager Ned Colletti. Colletti is the 10th GM in Los Angeles Dodger history and the first to reach the postseason in two of his first three seasons.
ALL SOLD OUT – Game 3 and 4 of the NLDS at Dodger Stadium are officially sold out.

Doyers vs Cachorros
Dodgers vs Cubs– Game 1 Wednesday October 1 @ Wrigley Field 3:30pm TV: TBS
Stats: L.A. vs CHI
Interesting stats. But those are stats from this year. How about this historical stat…The Dodgers and Cubs have played each other 2,024 times since their first game in Brooklyn in 1890, splitting the all-time series 1,012-1,012. Another interesting thing is that the Dodgers and the Cubs have never face each other in the post-season.

Frisco trying to ban Lasorda
San Francisco bans Lasorda ?
I couldn't believe it when I read this article. Tommy Lasorda has been invited to be the Grand Marshal of the San Francisco Italian American Parade. Sounds nice, right ? Tommy is propably one of the most famous Italian Americans. San Francisco was lucky to have someone like Lasorda to be the Grand Marshal. Well guess what ? A San Francisco supervisor by the name of Michela Alioto-Pier wants the organizers of the San Francisco Italian American Parade to kick out Lasorda as the Grand Marshal. Why does she care ? As a politician, couldn't she worry about other more important things ! ? I called her this morning and of course, she didn't answer the phone. I left a voice message and said "Giants Suck !" You want to do the same ? Call her at (415) 554-7752 or fax her at (415) 554-7843 If you rather send a "nice" e-mail you can do so at firstname.lastname@example.com Tell her how she is wasting her time on something useless and should focus more on important subjects.
Video Time: Tommy Lasorda at his best !
Dodgers Rally

Dodgers Rally
Tonight I attended the Post-Season Rally. If you didn't go, don't worry. Dodgers recorded it and you can see it all by clicking here. It was a nice event. 10,000 fans showed up. More than what a Tampa Bay Rays game draws. The best part was the ending when the Dodgers arrived and Manny Ramirez and others spoke. Can't wait for the playoffs to begin. Bring on the Cubs ! Here is a picture of Tommy Lasorda yelling at the fans and saying that the Cubs are going down !!🙂
Here is a pix of Manny Ramirez and Nomar Garciaparra getting ready to speak to the fans. Nomar spoke and then introduced Manny by saying "Here is MannyWood !!!" Fans yelled "MVP, MVP, MVP !!" Then Manny said "First I want to appreciate you guys coming down here and support us and we are going to try to bring a championship to L.A. but you guys got to bring me back next year" The fans went crazy. Manny smiled and jumped up and down.

Excavated in the Zuyderzee, the planking of this hull was of typical cog construction. The three bottom strakes on each side of the central plank were set edge-to-edge; all the others overlapped the ones below them. The seven strakes on each side were 4.5 cm thick; the sheer strake was 5.3 to 5.7 cm. thick. Long and short arms of floor timbers were alternated.1

In my last article, I discussed the nature of EAR files, what they support, what they do not support, and how to configure dependency utility libraries using the manifest
Class-Path: entry within a JAR file. This article intends to expand upon the discussion of J2EE packaging issues by focusing on the approaches that vendors can use for implementing EAR classloaders. Additionally, this article will point out an ambiguity that exists in the J2EE specification that allows vendors to implement EAR classloading schemes differently.
With any application that needs to have a JSP/servlet access an EJB, the JSP/servlet needs to be able to load the classes it needs to work with the EJB. When a standalone application is deployed, it is done so in its own classloader. This means that if you deploy a Web application (WAR) and an EJB application (JAR) separately, the respective classes for each application will be loaded in different classloaders that are siblings of one another. The classes in the Web application classloader will not be visible to the classes in the other application's classloader. This creates a problem for Web applications that want to use EJBs that are deployed separately. In fact, prior to EAR files, many developers would deploy an EJB and then repackage the same EJB JAR as part of the
WEB-INF\lib directory of the Web application. The same class files would exist in two different places, so that the overall application could work correctly. Gross.
EAR applications were introduced to solve this very problem. EAR files are not merely a convenient packaging format, but they provide for a special classloading scheme that allows applications within the EAR file to view the classes of other applications.
What's interesting about the J2EE 1.3 specification is that it doesn't make any specific requirements as to the structure of how an EAR classloader might work. Given this flexibility allowed by the specification, an application server vendor has an incredible amount of flexibility in deciding how classes should be loaded. For example, some questions that a vendor needs to ask before implementing an EAR classloader include:
Follow-up with Tyler with your questions.
Also in EJB 2:
Unlocking the True Power of Entity EJBs
Stateful Session EJBs: Beasts of Burden
log4j.jar, should the
log4j.jar be loaded in a parent classloader and then the EJB applications loaded in a child classloader, so that appropriate visibility is maintained?
Prior to EJB 2.0 Public Final Draft 2, vendors had a lot of flexibility in choosing how to set up a classloading scheme. JSPs/servlets that needed to make use of an EJB only needed to be able to load the home interface, remote interface, common classes, and stub classes of the EJB. The common classes, such as exceptions and parameters, should be placed into a dependency JAR file and loaded as part of the manifest
Class-Path: entry. This requires vendors to determine a way for a Web application that depends upon an EJB to load the home interface, remote interface, and stubs.
Please refer to Figure 1: Simple Classloading Approach for a graphical representation of a simple classloading scheme that a vendor could implement. In this model, each EAR application would be loaded by a custom EAR classloader instance. EJB applications and Web applications would each be loaded by custom classloaders that are children of the EAR classloader. In this scheme, any class file that needs to be shared by more than one application in the EAR will be loaded by the EAR classloader. Any files loaded at the EAR classloader level are automatically visible to all classes loaded by children classloaders.
In this scenario, all EJB applications are loaded by a single EJB classloader that is a child of the EAR classloader. Even if you have different EJB JAR files, they will all be loaded by the same classloader. This is done to facilitate EJB-EJB communication between EJBs in different applications, but hosted on the same virtual machine. Also in this scenario, each Web application is loaded in a different classloader to maintain class isolation. For example, if every Web application has an
index.jsp, when that JSP is converted into a servlet, that servlet could have the same class name as the equivalent servlets for the
index.jsps in the other Web applications. Each Web application needs to be able to load its own version of that servlet, so each Web application is isolated in its own classloader.
In order for Web applications to make use of EJBs deployed in the same EAR file, the Web applications need to have visibility to the external interfaces and stub implementation classes of those EJBs. Since the EJB and Web application classloaders are siblings in this scenario, the Web applications do not have direct visibility to the right class files. So to solve this problem, the EJB classloader can take all of the public interfaces of each of the EJBs and their stub implementation files and "export" them to the EAR classloader where they'll be visible by all applications in the EAR. The Web applications will then be able to readily load the classes needed to use any EJB.
Additionally, dependency utility libraries can be loaded in different places based upon where the library is specified. If a single Web application lists a dependency library in its
WEB-INF\lib directory, then that library is unique to that Web application. There is no need for other applications to access the contents of that library and it should not be loaded by the EAR classloader. In this situation, the Web application custom classloader will load the utility JAR file. Other Web applications can include the same dependency in their own
WEB-INF\lib to maintain this isolation.
For dependency utility libraries that must be shared between EJB and Web applications, those libraries need to be loaded at the EAR classloader. It turns out that any library specified in the manifest
Class-Path: entry of an EJB will be loaded by an EAR classloader to give the right visibility to those classes. This allows an EJB developer to package any common exception classes and custom input parameter classes that are visible to a Web application and the EJB into a
common.jar file that is placed in the manifest
Class-Path:. In addition to the public interfaces and stub implementation classes, the
common.jar file will also be loaded at the EAR level, allowing a Web application to have visibility to all of the classes used by the EJB.
The EJB 2.0 Public Final Draft 2 introduced the concept of local interfaces and put an interesting twist into the EAR classloading problem. With local interfaces, co-located clients and EJBs can be accessed using pass-by-reference semantics instead of pass-by-value semantics. In order for a client of an EJB to do pass-by-reference invocations, having visibility to the public interfaces and stub implementation classes of an EJB will not work. In fact, the client of an EJB needs to have a direct reference to the implementation classes of the EJB's container. Because of local interfaces, clients of EJBs need to be able to load much more than they needed to previously. Because of this restriction, the classloading scheme detailed above will not work. The solution to this problem is to make classloaders of any applications that may need to use EJB children of the EJB classloader.
Please refer to Figure 2: Complex Classloading Approach for a graphical representation of a complex classloading scheme that a vendor could implement. In this model, Web application classloaders are children of the EJB classloader. This allows all Web applications to have visibility to all of the files they need in order to behave as clients of the EJBs. Each Web application is still loaded in a custom classloader to achieve isolation, though. In this implementation, the EJB classloader does not need to export any files to the EAR classloader, making the overall structure simpler to understand.
There is an ambiguity in the J2EE specification that has been exposed by certain implementations seen to date. The J2EE specification is ambiguous as to how dependency libraries specified in the manifest
Class-Path: of a Web application should be loaded. It is very clear that a utility library specified by
WEB-INF\lib should only be loaded by the classloader of the Web application and remains isolated. However, if a utility library is specified in the manifest
Class-Path: of the Web application, it is not stated as to whether the library should be loaded by the Web application's classloader or exported to the EAR classloader. This can have a behavioral impact. If it is known that a utility library will only be loaded once for all Web applications, the Web applications can take advantage of knowing that a singleton class will only create a single object that can be shared among all Web applications. However, if the utility library were isolated by each Web application classloader, a singleton class would create a single object in each Web application.
Currently, Silverstream's application server and the J2EE reference implementation load utility libraries specified in the manifest
Class-Path: of a Web application at the EAR classloader level. WebLogic Server 6.1 Beta loads these libraries as part of the Web application classloader. It appears, though, that it is likely that WebLogic Server 6.1 GA will modify this approach to support loading Web application utility libraries at the EAR level. (This actually makes sense, since you can always get Web application isolation by placing utility libraries in the
WEB-INF\lib directory.)
It is important to note that for both of the scenarios described in this architecture, if two Web applications want to use two different versions of the same EJB (the different versions have slightly modified class files), this can only be achieved by doing two separate EAR applications. Since all EJBs are effectively loaded at the EAR level, only one version of a class specified in an EJB can be loaded by the EAR application at any given time.
Given the discussion in this article, I recommend that, when designing an application that uses JSPs, servlets, and EJBs together, any class that is shared by more than one application be placed into a
common.jar file that is specified in the manifest
Class-Path: entry of all applications that make use of it. Additionally, add any other support libraries to the appropriate manifest
Class-Path: and place any Web application-specific libraries in the
WEB-INF\lib. Following this approach, you should have smooth sailing from here on out!

Eadweard Muybridge's Animal Locomotion, 1887Friday, June 5th, 2009
Sometimes called the "Father of the Motion Picture," photographer Eadweard Muybridge employed an array of carefully timed cameras to produce his revolutionary action photographs of men, women and children, as well as animals from the Philadelphia Zoo. Supported by the University of Pennsylvania, the results of Muybridge's experiments with photographing motion were met with great acclaim by artists, scientists, critics and the public. 781 nineteen-by-twenty-four-inch collotype plates were the result of Muybridge's experiments. Haverford's set of 90 plates was donated in 1916. Haverford's extensive collection of fine art photography spans the history of the medium from daguerreotypes to digital images and includes more than 3,000 photographs.

Volvo Trucks has introduced new trucks with Euro 6 engines ranging from the smallest medium-duty 5-litre engine to the heavy-duty 13-litre variant. Starting in spring 2014, Volvo trucks will also be available with a 16-litre Euro 6 engine and with the I-Torque driveline for the 13-litre engine.
"Total fuel economy is very important for our customers, and we have a combination of technology and service offers that will be difficult for our competitors to match," says Astrid Drewsen, Product Manager for Drivelines, Volvo Trucks.
For the heavy-duty engine range, the D11, D13 and the upcoming D16, Volvo Trucks has retained its tried and tested catalytic emission control, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). SCR has proved to be extremely effective in the after-treatment of emissions and it is also the ideal match for Euro 6 requirements. In addition, Volvo Trucks has improved the catalytic coating of its SCR unit and the AdBlue injection system.
In order to comply with Euro 6, the heat in the exhaust system must be kept at a more or less constant high level. Volvo Trucks is therefore combining its SCR solution with non-cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in its D11 and D13 Euro 6 engines. The technological solution for the D5 and D8 engines is a combination of cooled EGR system, particulate filter and SCR.
"Our experience from emissions legislation the world over provided the input for our choice of fuel-efficient, cost-effective and less complex engine technology. We are very pleased with our Euro 6 offer, especially since environmental care is one of our core values," says Astrid Drewsen.

Shelby Rosales, who heads the Expo Center, said that, while it doesn't happen often, when it does occur it is an unfair burden on the county.
As of now, those renting the Expo Center pay $500 cleanup and damage deposits for each of the different buildings and areas.
Commissioner Ken Haggard said, "We keep the $500 but it costs us $1,000 or more to clean it up."
Rosales wants to change that — assuming that Mike Knight, county attorney, approves the increase.
"Sometimes I have them come in, and they don't abide by the damage rules and regulations," she said. "If they come back, the deposit may go up if they don't abide by the rules."
Just recently, a group left the center in a mess — voluntarily forfeiting their deposit, she explained to commissioners without saying who the offending group was.
"That was an event that asked to do something for the community," Rosales said.
The cost to cleanup exceeded the deposit amount in this case.
Haggard questioned, "If the cost involved with your crew goes above this deposit, is it not a problem to go after this amount?"
While Rosales said they could, she was asking the court's permission also to raise the deposit for such groups when they ask to rent or use the facilities the following year.
Commissioner Dennis DeWitt voiced concern though, wanting to ensure that not everyone was penalized by increasing the deposit amount.
"I don't want the people that come in to suffer for the others," he said.
Haggard agreed, saying, "We don't need to wave the sword. We just need to use the tip."
The commissioners wanted to ensure that they approve wording in the new contracts that would not be seen as penalizing one group or another unjustly.
Haggard said, "We need some language in there to allow you to match last year's cleanup amount."
DeWitt added, "That way someone cannot say, 'She doesn't like the tie I have on today, so she charged me $1,500, and that other ol' boy he had on a different tie, and she charged him $500."
Commissioner Carlos Salazar also tacked onto the change going before Knight an increase to the grounds deposit an additional $500, bringing it to $1,000.
This would likely only affect the bigger events such as Diez y Seis and Western Week that rent the largest portion of the Expo Center.
In all cases though, if the grounds are cleaned up and returned to the pre-event state, the client receives one's deposit back.

- Abstract
- We report a detailed numerical study on the postcompression of high-energy (~30 mJ) femtosecond laser pulses (~40 fs), using the spectral broadening induced by optical-field ionization of a low-pressure helium gas in a capillary. Our numerical results are in very good agreement with previously published experimental data on spectral shapes, transmitted energies and recompressed pulse durations in the full range of laser energies and gas pressures investigated. Then, we calculate the performances of the method with shorter input pulses (~20 fs) and demonstrate that few optical cycles recompressed pulses with 5 to 8.5 mJ energy could then be achieved.

Report of the U.S. Delegate to the 33rd Session of the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling
March 5-9, 2012
Budapest, Hungary
The Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS) held its 33rd Session from March 5-9, 2012, in Budapest, Hungary. The 33rd Session was attended by 163 delegates and observers, representing 55 Member Countries, one Member Organization (European Union), and 15 international organizations. The United States was represented by the Delegate, Dr. Gregory Noonan, U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Dr. David Funk and Mr. Larry Freese, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture; and Ms. Marie Maratos, U.S. Codex Office, Food Safety and Inspection Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The United States fully participated on all agenda items and was successful in achieving its objectives during this Session. The Committee, recognizing that substantial progress had been made on the Proposed Draft Principles for the Sampling and Testing in International Food Trade, agreed to forward the Draft Principles, as amended during the session, to the 35th Session of the Commission for adoption at Step 5. Additionally, the Committee after thorough discussion, agreed to refer Provisions on the Use of Proprietary Methods in Codex Standards to the Committee on General Principles for endorsement and inclusion in the Procedural Manual.
More detailed summaries on several Agenda items from the CCMAS final report (REP11/MAS) are provided below. The full report of the Session can be found on the Codex Website, www.codexalimentarius.org.
Draft Principles for the Sampling and Testing in International Food Trade
The Proposed Draft Principles for the Sampling and Testing in International Food Trade (CX/MAS 13/33/3), which had been developed during an inter-session electronic Working Group (eWG) chaired by New Zealand with the assistance of the Netherlands and United States, were further revised by the in-session Working Group (WG) which met during the 33rd Session. Based on discussion during the plenary, the WG agreed first on the scope, introduction, and definitions. Then, removing all commentary, the WG agreed on the wording and position of each Principle. Along with removing the commentary for a number of principles, addressing dispute resolution was also deleted, because both fell outside the agreed upon scope of the document. Moreover, a number of principles dealing with lot variability were combined into a single principle and an overarching principle concerning transparency was added. The final Proposed Draft was forwarded to the 35th Session of the Commission for adoption at Step 5. The Committee decided to return the commentary to Step 2/3 and agreed that an intra-session eWG should be established to develop draft explanatory notes and commentary under the Principles, for consideration at the next session. Germany, with the assistance of New Zealand, agreed to chair the eWG.
Endorsement of Methods of Analysis for Provisions in Codex Standards
A report of the ad hoc Working Group on endorsement of methods was presented by the Chair, Dr. Roger Wood from the United Kingdom. The Committee endorsed several methods of analysis in Codex standards and established criteria for the determination of a number of elements in food grade salt. When establishing criteria and attempting to establish a list of acceptable methods, the Working Group found that the validation data for a number for methods are not adequate. Additional data and/or methods are requested for these elements and matrix (paras. 23-52 and Appendix III of REP11/MAS).
Discussion Paper on the selection of Methods of Analysis for the Determination of Dietary Fiber through the use of a decision tree
As part of the Endorsement Working Group agenda, the Discussion paper on the use of a decision tree for the selection of dietary fiber methods was discussed. At the 32nd Session of CCMAS, a substantial number of methods of analysis and sampling proposed by various Codex Committees were endorsed. Among these were methods from the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU). Approximately, 17 methods of analysis for dietary fiber (or specific components which contribute to dietary fiber assessment) were endorsed, including a number of methods, with possible overlap, which were endorsed as Type 1. There was concern that in endorsing such a large number of potentially overlapping methods, there could be confusion for those required to use the endorsed methods of analysis.
One proposed method for avoiding such confusion was the development of a decision tree to be attached as an appendix to the Standard, to guide analysts in the selection of the method. An inter-session electronic Working Group (eWG) was established to develop a discussion paper on the structure and use of a decision tree. The discussion paper and possible options were discussed during the Endorsement Working Group, but a consensus could not be reached and the discussion was continued by the Committee. During the Session, there was consensus that multiple Type I methods could be confusing and that some additional information to guide countries and/or analysts could be beneficial. However, there was no consensus on the form or location of this information. The Committee did agree to encourage an external publication, in an open access format, to make the information contained in the Discussion Paper openly available. However, many delegates noted that such a format may not reach as many interested parties as a Codex document. A compromise was reached, by the Committee creating a table which lists each method and identifies what is and what is not measured with that method. The table was entered as a Conference Room Document available to participants and explicitly referenced in the final report.
Provisions for Proprietary Methods in Codex Standards to be Included in the Codex Procedural Manual
The Committee considered "Provisions for Proprietary Methods in Codex Standards" (CX/MAS 12/33/5) created by an inter-session electronic working group (eWG). The document defines, for CCMAS, a proprietary method and stipulates requirements that should be fulfilled for the endorsement of a proprietary method. The definition and subsequent requirements were discussed line-by-line during the plenary session and a number of delegates expressed concern over the endorsement of any proprietary methods. It was pointed out that proprietary methods already exist in the Codex system and that proprietary methods are often the only (or best) test methods available. Additionally, the requirements specifically state that preference should be given to nonproprietary methods or to developing method criteria rather than endorsing specific proprietary methods. After detailed discussion and changes to the document, the committee agreed to forward the document to the Committee on General Principles for inclusion in the Procedural Manual. If approved, the new text will be inserted after the General Criteria for the Selection of Methods of Analysis in the Principles for the Establishment of Codex Methods of Analysis.
Next session of CCMAS
The 34th Session of CCMAS is tentatively set for March 4-8, 2013, in Budapest, Hungary.
