text: I have three children aged 4.5, 2.5 and 4 months. I weaned my first at 3 weeks and my second at 3 months. At that time I knew very little about benefits of extended breastfeeding. I was breastfed as an infant but growing up I saw so many babies with bottles that I guess i thought bottle feeding was somehow better. I am having such a wonderful experience breastfeeding my third child I hope to continue until he weans himself. My question is would it be weird to offer my older children breastmilk on their cereal or in a cup? They cuddle with me when I breastfeed the baby but I've been thinking about how weird it is to give cows milk to children, when their own mother has a plentiful supply of milk. Just wanting to do more for the two who missed out cuz of my ignorance.

Vandals Barone suspended indefinitely for violating team rules
University of Idaho senior men's basketball player Kyle Barone has been suspended indefinitely after a violation of team rules, Vandal head coach Don Verlin announced on Monday.
"My job is to educate student-athletes and to teach them how to conduct themselves on and off the court," Verlin said. "We have challenged Kyle to become a first-class student and resident of Moscow. How he responds will determine his status on our basketball team."
Barone is a three-year letterwinner for the Vandal men's basketball team. He enters the 2012-13 season as the team's active leader in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals and is a strong Western Athletic Conference preseason awards candidate.
He was a 2012 Second-Team All-WAC honoree and a 2011 Honorable Mention All-WAC selection.
Verlin said Barone's status will be re-evaluated as the season progresses. Idaho men's basketball holds its first practice on Friday at 5 p.m. (PT). The Vandals play their first exhibition game on Saturday, Oct. 27, against Seattle Pacific at 7:05 p.m. at Memorial Gym and open their season on Friday, Nov. 9, against Wright State.

"That was a statement game and huge game for us," said Kenedy head coach Lin Havron. "Under the circumstances, we did an awesome job of staying in the game and not getting down."
The Lions drew first blood in the contest with the first quarter's lone score. With 5:40 on the clock, Rolie Zepeda connected with Weston Hallmark on a 6-yard passing score. Hallmark's kick put the lead at 7-0 after a quarter of play. Hallmark was a perfect 3-for-3 on Kenedy's extra point attempts.
Three Rivers countered with the second quarter's only touchdown as Wesley Guzman scored on a 2-yard run with 3:48 to go. The extra point attempt was no good, however, leaving the Lions with a 7-6 halftime lead.
Business picked up in the second half as the Bulldogs took the lead with 5:16 to go in the third quarter on a run by Hagan Johnston. Guzman ran in the two-point conversion to give the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead. The Lions countered at the 3:18 mark as Cedric Mejia scored on a 4-yard run to tie it up at 14-14.
As time expired in the third quarter, Mejia scored once more on another 4-yard run to give the Lions a 21-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs tied it up with 4:46 to go in the fourth quarter as Guzman punched it in on a 1-yard run, though the conversion attempt failed, leaving the Kenedy lead at 21-20.
Three Rivers took the lead with 59 seconds left as Johnston connected with Albert Moreno on a 25-yard passing score, with Jesse Perez running in the conversion to put the score at 28-20. The Lions retook the lead for good with 16 seconds left as Zepeda found Jeremy Rodriguez on a 13-yard passing touchdown. Rather than kick the extra point and go to overtime, the Lions went for two and got it as Zepeda passed to Kris Bryan for the lead and the 29-28 victory.
Statistically, the Lions gained 305 yards of total offense, with 215 yards rushing over 31 carries and 90 yards passing over eight completions. The Bulldogs gained 364 yards of total offense, with 329 yards rushing over 52 carries and 35 yards passing over two completions. In terms of penalties, the Lions were flagged three times for 25 total yards and the Bulldogs were flagged seven times for 51 total yards.
"We had about three or four kids out in crucial positions," said Havron. "It kind of limited our playbook. We had a good two-point play that we practiced and it paid off."
This week, the Lions will host the Ganado Indians for their annual Parents' Night game.
"That'd be a huge win if we can beat them," said Havron. "This group of seniors has turned the reputation of Kenedy around from being the district doormat. They've played a big role in the turnaround."
Kickoff in Kenedy is set for Friday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m.

I will be returning to work in 2 wks. My baby is now 4 wks old. I will start pumping next week (waiting on the pump to ship). How much milk should I give to the baby sitter? What if I don't have enough backup for her? Should I send her formula too? Is it better to mix it with breast milk or just formula only and use that for back up?
I just start using the manual pump and maybe get an oz from it. Will there be a difference in the electric pump and manual?

Most children love horses, whether or not they've ever been on one.
They love stories about horses, too.
"My Friend Flicka," "Black Beauty" and "The Black Stallion" come quickly to mind along with the classic Zane Grey novel, "Wildfire." Most of us know and love Will James' many books about horses, also.
Lest we think horse stories no longer are being written, we should check out "Chico" by Sandra Day O'Connor, former Supreme Court Justice, published in 2005. If we Google "books about horses," we get a huge list.
New Mexico's premier, internationally known horsewoman, Suzanne Jones of Tatum, is one of those rare individuals who understands a horse's mind.
Her books teach that rider and horse should become partners in whatever discipline they choose — among them western riding, dressage, barrels, roping, reining, or pleasure riding.
She would be the first to agree that the horse-human connection defies simple explanation. I cried when my barrel horse died of old age, even though I knew in my heart it was for the best.
Still, sometimes the actual, living horse doesn't quite live up to romantic expectations.
I knew a girl named Dee, about 9, who really wanted a horse. Her friends had horses, and she wanted to ride with them. One day her grandfather showed up with a small horse of indeterminate breeding. He was kinda good looking, actually, brown and white paint. His name was Cinnamon.
Cinnamon was broke to ride, Granddad said, so Dee climbed on and they headed down the local bridle path.
Before long Dee stomped back, leading Cinnamon, angry tears mixing with the stickers in her hair and clothes. When she finally cooled off enough to talk about it she said when she asked him to gallop it felt like he sorta shrugged and dumped her — smack in the middle of a bunch of thistles.
A few days later her friends came by on their horses, and they rode off together, singing. There was no singing when she got back.
"That horse refused to gallop," Dee said. "While we trotted, my teeth and bones rattling, my friends' horses loped smoothly along. 'Course I could only see their rear ends."
After about the 10th time of Dee trudging home, angry, leading that little malfeasant, she turned him loose and vowed never to touch his back again. That was one time her dad, too big to ride the little fellow, couldn't come to the rescue. Probably Suzanne Jones could have re-educated the little squirt, but that family didn't know her.
They ended up giving Cinnamon away — for free. Actually, Dee would have paid someone to take him.
Later, Dee became a fine horsewoman. She had learned that each horse has its own distinct personality, no matter what breed or size.
We've all heard the saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Dee says, "Look him in the mouth, the ears, the belly, the feet, AND take him for a test gallop."

text: This has been a battle for a couple of days now. When I bf my 6 week old, she guzzles and drinks for about 30 minutes and my breasts feel less full. WHen she is ready to nurse again, she will suck for a couple of seconds and cry, she will suck again for a couple of seconds and then start crying again, this goes on for 20 minutes. So, I finally give her a bottle and she sucks it down. When it is time for her to nurse again my breasts feel more full and she nurses without crying but at the next feeding she will. Why is it at every other time I nurse her she guzzles but at the other feedings act like she isn't getting anything and takes the bottle. She does prefer to BF, thats for sure. I just don't understand what is going on here and its become frustrated. It doesn't help my left breast is killing me and everytime she lacthes I almost scream. My doctor can't find anything wrong and her latch looks fine.

By Tim Korte: The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — Democrat Brian Colon and Republican John Sanchez have won their parties' nominations for New Mexico lieutenant governor.
Tuesday's results mean Colon will be paired on the Democratic ticket with gubernatorial candidate Diane Denish in the November general election.
Sanchez will run on the GOP side with Susana Martinez.
Colon, former director of the New Mexico Democratic Party, beat retired governmental agency administrator Lawrence Rael of Albuquerque and three legislators — Jose Campos of Santa Rosa, Gerald Ortiz y Pino of Albuquerque and Linda Lopez of Albuquerque.
Attempts to contact Campos, currently representing Curry and Roosevelt counties in House District 63, were unsuccessful.
Sanchez, who lost the 2002 gubernatorial race to Democrat Bill Richardson, defeated former state Rep. Brian Moore of Clayton and state Sen. Kent Cravens of Albuquerque.
Moore said he called Sanchez a little before 10 p.m. to concede and congratulate him on a well-run campaign.
He said name recognition, and Sanchez' prior experience helped.
"When John ran for governor, he ran statewide," Moore said. "He got a lot of name ID (coming into the race)
"He had a good message and gave it well. I was a little-town guy and I guess I was outclassed."
CNJ staff writer Kevin Wilson contributed to this report.

I know how you feel! When I first started breastfeeding it hurt sooo much when my milk came in! Extreme pins and needles as you've described. After a few months though it got better. I don't think anything is wrong. How old is your lo? My son is 6 months now and the painful letdown stopped about two months ago. I wouldn't get too worried about it. I've read about lots of women who experience this as well. If it does get worse and you are really concerned I would as your pediatrician.
Good luck!!

Flashback to 2007: the Phils, on the outskirts of the playoff race, trade one of their Top 10 prospects, Matt Maloney, to Cincinnati to acquire right handed starter Kyle Lohse. Lohse goes 3-0 with a 4.72 ERA in 13 games, 11 starts, en route to making one of the most improbably comebacks of all-time and capturing the NL East outright on the final day of the season. Lohse is last seen as a Phillie coming in against the Rockies in the 2007 NLDS inexplicably as a reliever despite likely being among their most consistent starters to finish the season.
Fast foward to 2013: the Phils, likely on the outskirts of the playoff race, sit behind the Nationals and Braves on paper for the upcoming season. Lohse, coming off a career year, is now 34 and very available as Spring Training starts. The Phillies are relying on Kyle Kendrick to replicate his strong 2012 second half and John Lannan to pitch as well as he does against everyone not named the Phillies. Neither are huge stretches but neither are slam dunks either in a year where the Phillies seem to have everything but certainty. The question that nobody is asking is: with Lohse still available, should the Phillies pick up the phone and call?
The Positives
Lohse seemed to make a giant leap in 2012, going from above average to very good, building on what was an excellent 2011. For Lohse, command of his 88-90 MPH fastball is key and that's where most of his improvements came. Lohse is more of a contact pitcher but saw real improvement in missing bats (-1.6% drop in contact on pitches in the strike zone, -1.3% drop in contact on pitches outside of the strikezone). For the second straight year, over 50% of his pitches were in the strikezone.
The pitch that has hurt Lohse the most is his curveball, which sits between 74-76 MPH. In 2010, Lohse threw a curve 9.6% of the time and had a 6.55 ERA; in 2012, Lohse threw it just 4.4% of the time and had a 2.86 ERA. The drop in ERA is not completely related to his reduction of the use of the curve, but mixed with his improvement of locating his fastball and his reliable slider, Lohse was able to find the strikezone more effectively which absolutely did help his ERA. His skillsets are improving in ways you'd expect pitchers over 30 to do and there has not been a precipitous decline in his velocity. His risks associated to aging are smaller than most and isn't a large threat to injury.
The Negatives
Can the Phillies even afford Lohse? Highly unlikely. There are not a whole lot of rumored numbers for Lohse but his last contract was around five years, $34 million, ~$7 million a year. After the career year he just had, he's likely looking to settle for nothing short of $10-14 million a year. At this point in free agency, Lohse may look to settle for something for less years but a bigger annual value, which would actually decrease the Phillies' chances of signing him even more.
Secondly, the fan perception of adding someone for big bucks who is 34 to a team who already among the oldest in the Majors is not likely a road the front office wants to go down. The Phillies can do a lot worse than Kendrick and Lannan was on my radar since day one when the Nats non-tendered him.
Third, will Lohse even be that much of an improvement over Kendrick or Lannan? Based on projections, Lohse would net the Phillies a net gain of about one win replacing either of those pitchers. The Steamer projections at FanGraphs have Lannan worth 1.3 fWAR and Kendrick worth 1.4 WAR in 2013 while they have Lohse at 2.2 WAR. Is the gap between those pitchers worth adding $10-14 million plus the extra $5-7 million in luxury tax payments? Probably not.
Finally, despite the Mets best efforts to dance around the compensation rules when talking to Michael Bourn, Lohse, as a Type-A Free Agent, is still tied to the Phillies draft choice in 2013. If Lohse is still around after the 2013 Draft, then any team can sign him without compensation penalty, but that possibility is best very, very slim and at worst non-existent.
Lohse is absolutely a fine middle of the rotation starter and it is puzzling why he is available into Spring Training but the Phillies should not make a call to him: he's too expensive and he's not much better than what they already have.

"If the price is right" is definitely the kicker… I almost think he'd be wise to wait until a team loses a starter to Tommy John surgery in Spring Training and then sign a big one-year deal
If they wouldn't give up the pick (and associated MLB funding allowance) for any of the other FA's that received QO's, why in the world would they do it for Lohse? They really could have used some of the available hitters that were out there. I guess I just feel that if they managed to hold onto the pick this long, it would be a waste to give it up now.
In June after the draft if he's still kicking around, depending on our health and situation, maybe then.
I appreciate your creativity and interesting topics Ian, it's good to keep everything in play, but I would hope they don't make this move. And I agree that Lannan was a good pick up and may help this team.
We all know that Amaro is tapped out – he has no room to maneuver except perhaps a reserve for a mid-year pickup. Lohse is a good pitcher but he will wait it out until someone really needs him.
Ian summed it up perfectly in his last paragraph. I'm not even sure why he wrote the first several when he makes not signing Loshe such a no-brainer.
That said, it does appear sometimes that Amaro has no brains, and nothing ever really surprises me.
The Phillies have the 16th pick. Seems to me they (Ruben) have avoided losing it. Why now would they cave and give it up. While Kyle is a decent pitcher, he is not that significant an upgrade to warrant that kind of move.
I say nay to getting Kyle.
It's an interesting idea but the marginal upgrade over KK or Lannan isn't enough. We're better off having a little wiggle room in the budget and make a move near the trade deadline if we need it (it'll be clearer what kind of help we'll need then… might be pitching if one of the big 3 goes down, or offense otherwise).
For the majority of Loshe's career he has been giving up more hits than innings pitched, his career WHIP before 2011 was 1.43. Due to his success these last 2 years, his contract will swell to a ripe size and he never has been anything special. Sure, the last 2 years he has a 30-11 record but he is also now 34 years old.
Too much to spend, high risk, low reward, no go.
I agree. The #16 pick is not worth losing for a pitcher who was mediocre through 2010 and lucky (BABIP of .265) over the past 2 years.
The only question for me is does Lohse make the Phillies a better team. I don't see how anyone could answer no. I guess the fans have a very short memory. it seems that most of the time when Kendrick is on the mound he is always one swing away from disaster even when he wins. Ditto for John Lannan. Lhse went 16-3 last year and has been solid for several seasons. the same can't be said for KK or Lannan. Both are major risks in the rotation. Lose the 16th pick? Big deal, have you seen the last few years Phils #1 draft picks? Pretty forgettable. I would love to have Lohse, the other two scare the heck out of me. Get ready for a lot of frustrating games when they are pitching. Believe me i hope I am wrong, but history doesn't look kindly on KK and Lannan as starters. Absolutely Iwould rather have the addition of lohse. As for the money, it is my understanding the Phils are only at about 154 mil which is over 20 mil below last year so where is money a problem?
The #16 pick is actually a lot higjher than the Phils have drafted for the past several years. Even when they've been able to get a pick in the first round, it's usually been down around # 28-29.
The Phils haven't been the only team not wishing to give up a pick for a decent, but not great player.
Say what you might about KK and Lannan; Lohse is only a marginal upgrade, and if Kendrick pitches like he did the final weeks of 2012, Lohse would actually be a downgrade.
These are the facts, and they are indisputable.
The same writer who posed the question should the Phils go after Fool Rod has now asked if the Phils should go after Kyle Lohse. Jusdt the favcts, maam, not an editorial comment.
Nut, for the sake of presentation of 1 side of the arguement, these, as David Letterman mighty dsay are the top 10 reasons not to sign Kyle Lohse.
10/Dude, or 1 of his ancestors cain't pronounce his name
9/ If he can pronounce his name, he4 cain't spell his name. Take your pick.
8/ I got a problem with inflation. I just paid an aggrivating 3.52 per gtallon a la punp. HGow you think I'd feel paying 10 mil to a number 4 starter?
7/ History shows that no MLB team has ever won the World Series with 2 pitchers in the rotation named Kyle. I don't know if that's true, but it's a safe bet.
6/ Vegas odds on the home run king 2013 edition are out. One needs to lay a c note down to win 2 grand on The Maybe Still Big Piece. That particular piece owns Lohse, He's got 2 dingers in 19 Abs, but with 9 hits total, chances are he has a few homers coming. Lohse as a teammate would, should and could decrease Howard's chances. They're already at 0 according to the sabermetramorons, and negative numbers would be criminal.
5/ Lohse was 16-3 last year. This is more classic buy at the top than JDSU Uniphase was once upon a bull turned bear.
4/ If you can sign a guy to put you in the lux tax neighborhood, can it at least be a perennial all-star?
Trois/ Now be nice. Tony LaRussa and Charlie Manual handle pitching staffs differently.
2/ The recently announced all two tim Phillies team already is booked, and there's no need for another right handed pitcher.
And the number one reason the Phils should not sign Kyle Lohse is……………………
Chris Carpenter goes dowm. And the Cardinal reaction to the question of are you interested in Lohse now was NEGLIGIBLE. Hmmmmmm.
I'll lay $1 he stays right where he is for just that reason.
2 guys in an MLB rotation named Kyle?
How about the same 2 pitchers named Kyle- on the same team together- twice. It hasn't happened yet, but it could.
Last year, perhaps for comedic purposes, the Veagas boys had the Phils o/u total at 95. I've slept since then, but maybe that wasn't QUITE the laughing matter it is in arrears. Course with the Howard and Utley situations, I guess it was at the time.
I'd like to think, I'm hopeful anyway we have another comdeic approach this year at 81.5. There's good and bad news on the Phils supposed Opening Day roster, so who knows, but you'd like to think the over is achievable.
A recent column somewhere, by somebody if you'd like to look it up speculated on the chances of the NL East offering up 2 100 plus win teams. I'm a subscriber to things don't go according to plan, a follow up from my worthy education at The University ofExpect the Unexpected. Naturally, the 2 teams mentioned did not include the Phils or Mets. If you wonder if the Marlins might have been 1, please return to the football portion of the internet. I just don't allign with the expected Nats amd Braves greatness parlay. To be sure, the Nats have a chance to be uncommonly good, but that's an annual baseball occurence, often associated with the Hpt Stove winner.
The downplay on the Phils number carries through to the supposed juggernauts. The Nats carry a 90 line, the Bravos 88. To me, that's good news, with some ridiculously creative thinking. Being as I anticipate the Braves and Nats NOT fulfilling expectations, I'm guessing 94 wins cops the East. The negatives on the Phils, or question marks, if you are an optimist
can indeed make you laugh at the Phils chances. Despite those, spring in springing mode that it is, I could see the Phils scrambling to 94 wins in who'd a thunk it mode, but it actually happened. That at least Vegas is out there acting sane on Nat and Brave win totals is indeed a small part of a multitude of reasons we continue to watch the sport, and keep applying present developments to historic layers.
90 being the highest expectation, the Vegas boys are predicting a whole lot of parity, and no doubt wild 2 card races as well as division comp. Somebody's gonna do what Oakland did last year, and play marvelous baseball over a long stretch. If that team can avoid too bad an opposite stretch, we still could see a dominant team, but good luck picking that in advance.
Not that it's impossible But withf the widespread parity prediction tone underlying the industry, at this point, there's no reason not to HOPE positively about the Phils. Regretfully, that can change on a single pitch.
I think I'd rather root for a winning year than an interesting one. but at a minimum, that's what looks to be expected through the game. On that one, I find little flaw with excpecting the expected.
Why should it matter if they lose the 16th pick? When was the last time they made a good draft pick? Utley?
Last time they drafted as high as 17: 2002 (Hamels)
Last time they drafted as high as 15: 2000 (Utley)
Last time they drafted as high as 12: 1999 (Bret Myers)
Exactly. Nothing in the last ten years.
They haven't drafted that high in ten years, and historically a #16 pick is MUCH more likely to pan out than a 25-30 pick.
Okay so let's compare the past two seasons.
Lohse 30-11 eras 3.39 and 2.86
Kendrick 19-18 eras 3.22 and 3.90
Lannan 14-14 eras 3.70 and 4.01
How is Lohse a marginal upgrade? His era last season was a full run less than Kendrick and Lannan. That is a pretty large number. And what if one of them is injured? do you feel more comfortable with say Lohse and Lannan over say Lannan and Pettibone or Tyler Clyod? If so then there isn't much else to talk about. And how many seasons have they been able to go with the same five all year, so odds say you will need Pettibone or Cloyd as a starter at some point this year. Wouldn't you like to insure against that or are you guys major gamblers and risk takers?
1. I am less than confident to go into the season with Kendrick as the #4 starter and Lannan as #5. All off-season, I hoped (and commented) that the Phillies should sign Anibal Sanchez, Edwin Jackson or another free agent SP who was an upgrade over Kendrick or Lannan, but who would not cost them the #16 pick.
2. As much as I dislike having both Kendrick and Lannan in the rotation, I don't see Lohse being an upgrade worthy of parting with the 1st round pick, nor the money he will most likely require. I see Lohse's last 2 seasons as being luck-driven outliers for a pitcher with a career ERA of 4.45. I'd be willing to bet that Lohse's ERA is closer to 4.45 this year than to 2.86.
3. The main reason that I'd be willing to make that bet is that defense independent pitching stats have proven to be more predictive a pitcher's following year ERA than his ERA in the prior year has been. While Lohse's ERA was 2.86, his SIERA was 4.06 and his xFIP was 3.96.
4. You are right that the Phillies recent #1 picks have not produced much of late, but as others have pointed out, they have not picked as high as #16 in many years. In addition, they haven't had that many 1st round picks of late as this GM spent them luck a drunken sailor while signing free agents under the old CBA or rushing to sign a free agent when MLB was in between CBA's. I applaud RAJ's restraint in refraining from squandering #16 on a mediocre player like Lohse.
When comparing, you should also look at Lohse's years when he was the same ages as Kendrick/Lannan. He started with the Twins, and I happen to know a Twins fan who absolutely dreaded a Lohse appearance. I'm sure that Loshe won't look like such a great improvement when his lifetime stats are figured in (both Lannan and KK beat him out in career ERA) and he's also a lot older than Kendrick and Lannan. Also, those two year totals are bound to be way different because Kendrick wasn't a regular starter and Lannan was sent down in 2012 because the Nats had a pitching surplus. Lohse started full time.
KK showed marked improvement last season and might just improve more, seeing that he's now approaching the years when pitchers many times do.
Loshe has had two fine seasons in a slightly above average career. He may have another one in him, but his luck might also run out (he's had plenty of it the past two seasons). I see him as just as big a risk, andI don't consider an aging and costly fourth starter to be a risk I'd take, with or without he draft rules.
It also, to me, isn't worth losing a #16 draft pick "just in case" someone gets injured. The Phils can address that if and when it happens.
Kyle Kendrick is an enigma to me. I don't quite get him but I think I'm starting to appreciate him.
Last year, he pitched 12 games in relief and the one that sticks out in my mind is the disaster in May when he gave up 5 runs in 1 inning. But actually, in the other 11 games he threw he only gave up 2 runs in 12.2 innings (ERA a miniscule 1.47).
As a starter he really pissed me off. In April he started 2 games and got crushed in both yet in May he had 4 starts, all quality starts (yes, the standby of 3 or less runs in 6 or more innings). To go along with the CG shutout of the Cards (who saw that coming?) Point is as a starter in May his ERA was under 2.
So he starts the entire month of June, 6 starts, 1 quality start, a whip of 1.80 – he's right back into the dirty hopper.
July comes and he has 1 start, gives up 0 runs, has BP action 8 IP with 0 runs – he looks like Superman but we still are trembling when he comes to the mound.
August could have been the best single month production of his career. He didn't start out well but won 4 games, lost 1, started 6 with 4 quality starts. Still not over the shakes but getting there.
September he starts to come back down to earth some as he starts 5 games with 3 QS and in October 1 start with 0 runs.
Point is, from July on he had 13 starts, 9 QS with an ERA of 2.92. His relief appearances (other than the May-melt) were everything that could be asked of –
I believe I have talked myself into appreciating KK. Last year was won of his better years and as a 4th starter, he seems to do everything asked of a number 4 starter.
KK is an enigma, but so is how the Phillies have used him since day one.
He came up and was a great addition to the rotation, missing bats, not dominating, but missing bats and winning games.
Then the Phillies put him in the bullpen, then the rotation, then bullpen.
Last year he was put in the bullpen through spring training and then asked to jump and start then back to the bullpen then back to the rotation.
I feel he is going to have a break out year in the rotation as a solid number 4.
He is not dominate but has learned a lot of from guys like Doc and Cliff on how to be a great pitcher without amazing stuff all the time
"I feel he is going to have a break out year in the rotation as a solid number 4."
So what kind of numbers might you use to define breakout season?
Just looking at his career combined pen and starting. the following might be good to shoot for, and pretty much represent career bests….
Innings 170
If he does that, some good things should result. Now will that happen? Maybe I'm too pragmatic, but it's hard to get fired up about the chances.
Anyway, I asked how you'd define his breakout and offered some criteria I'd set as goals.

As reported on Twitter by our own Pat Gallen, The Phillies have made another trade, this time sending Joe Blanton to the Dodgers for cash OR a player to be named later. Ruben Amaro Jr. implied that the Phillies are hoping to take the player over the cash, and that the Phils are still making moves.
Taking Blanton's spot on the roster will be B.J. Rosenberg, who was brought up from AAA Lehigh Valley. Kyle Kendrick will start in place on Blanton tonight.

Nice!! I hope the Dodgers are dumb enough to include a PTBNL of the caliber of Domingo Santana…
And it goes from bad to worse… they STILL won't promote Cloyd, AND they're letting Kendrick start?!? Please, please, please put me out of my misery now.
Cliff claimed on waivers. let him go now mr ruby. waste of space lee. go away you waste boy
So you don't want to contend next year???
Blanton had no future here. Kyle, might and they want to run some AAA arms out here and see if there worth it. It sucks but it's dismantling time.
relax manny my boy. ruby has a plan. all that money we will be able to build this team up. you wait and watch. next season. they will go on a shopping spree.
@jeff i don't mind the shopping spree it's a quick way to get better. what bothers me is that if they oversign like they usually do and it doesn't work out then you're saddled with contracts like j-bag, howard lee and hopefully hamels isnt on the list. and i'm upset that we didn't get anyone! not even a servicable player. i don't care if they trade someone but i expect to get something for it. and we've traded possibly one of the best #5 starters in the league. and schnieder is catching tonite? mine frifin mart is still on the team and so is dingleberry! we're giving guys away and bringing up bad players and activating an old catcher instead of using kratz! i just don't get their mindset and believe me i'm all for a change. but i don't understand what they're doing.
PTBNL = Victorino LOL
Maybe the PTBNL could be Davey Lopes…
That would be a CTBNL!
Now we can bring up Cloyd! Hopefully, he'll blossom like Worley.
ed from what i heard they brought up bj rosenberg. they had just sent him down and reconverted him back to being a starter.this is the part i don't get ed. they dump blanton for nothing. they could have got a high cieling 2cd baseprospect. the holdup was the o's wanted us to eat salary. we declined! we then move him to the dodgers.get noyhing. insert KK in to pitch as a starter where he hasn't fared very well. he's been good in the pen where we're weak. then instead of bringing up cloyd they bring up rosenberg who had all but maybe 2 innings up here before being sent down, then they convert him back to starting. where i think he struggled till he found a home in the pen and did outstanding in the minors. WTF i've been a big rube supporter gave him the benifit of the doubt cause i think he has a larger plan than a mere mortal like me! but i gotta tell ya ed i'm teetering onthe phils right now i've been following them since 1962 i'm 62 and i've never seen the likes of this ever. nothing they're doing right now makes one bit of sence!
I knew this was coming, in fact I hoped for it. Blanton was good the last few games, but was horrible in the first half, I can't forget those. Hope they get a good replacement in the OF or the bullpen for him. This retooling is good for the soul of the Phillies!
artemis…they got NOTHING! a player to be named later! i agree with you on trading him. but get somebody. at least get someone now so we fans can say just what you did. i wish they would just do the same for howard, utley and j-bag! just do it! might as well dump lee, and haladay too.
Ryne, I agree. Sometimes their moves defy logic. The only thing I can think of, and I'm probably wrong, is that Cloyd must have pitched very recently and that is why they went with KK. But I'm thinking logical here, and this is the 2012 Phillies/Bizarro Phillies so I'm probably completely wrong. Lol.
no big ed i think i heard that cloyd pitched either yesterday or the day before so you may be right. i think he pitched another gem too!
you know i wouldn't mind if they just admitted they're dumping salary so they can REBUILD. i just don't want them to go out and jack up the patroll for some 30-31 yr olds with 3-5 year contracts. we'll be in the same situation every yr! bring our own guys up and supplement the team with some FA.'s
Plus, Cloyd is 11-1 with the best record at that minor league level. Just saying. : )
Cloyd pitched last night.
So it's curious.
Howard is hurt, and won't earn his salary this year, or most likely any year of his contract.
Utley likely won't earn his salary either, but his contract will be a huge bargain even if he never plays again.
Rollins will not only earn his contract this year but exceed it, and has a very fair contract. Yet he's lumped in with the other two.
Curious indeed.
For a box of donuts? What did we get again? PTBNL and some cash – and, donuts.
Brooks, sorry to say, but Sloppy Joe Blanton ate them!
P eanu T B utter N L ittle else.
Joe was a good 5th starter, but they ain't worth much to anyone else unless your name is Zito. Shedding 2 months of his salary, good deal IMO.
Solid outing by B.J. Rosenberg. Set down 6 in a row. Maybe with Schwimmer, Horst, Lindlom and now Rosenberg, the Phillies may actually have a decent pen. Regarding Blanton, maybe Cloyd will be better. He did a nice job this year but they have to see whether Cloyd can pitch now.
Does anyone even know who the O's were willing to trade for Blanton and cash?
If you don't, I suggest you stop comparing it to what he actually did get from LA, and stop complaining that he made a bad trade. It may have been a much better deal than he could have gotten from Baltimore, which was the only other team even asking about Blanton.
The Orioles were willing to give JJ Hardy and Adam Jones, and the Dodgers will offer Matt Kemp and Andre Eithier.
Heyman cited Orioles infield prospect Jonathan Schoop as the trade bait.. But the Orioles were not willing to pay the remaining 3 million of Big Joe's contract. So I guess they picked getting rid of the contract / dollars over getting the prospect?
I never heard this, and it's still basically rumor, because teams don't generally let it be known who actually is involved until after the fact. Ever notice how trade rumors don't always match the final decision?
It's possible, of course. But I can't say that I trust Heyman. Something obviously went wrong, and had to be money related to an extent. It's also possible the Phils' scouting staff didn't think too highly of Schoop (if it really was him that was offered), maybe seeing him as a AAAA piece or a utility guy.
I just don't think people need to be going off half-cocked when they really don't have all the information for a solid judgement.

After Nearly 50 Years, Burmese Leader Comes To Washington
By Steve Inskeep • May 20, 2013
It's been a while since the last visit by a head of state from Myanmar. The last time was 47 years ago, when the country was still known as Burma. As President Thein Sein arrives at the White House Monday, some will hail him as a reformer who set his country on the path to democracy. Others may protest his arrival, as excessive recognition for a head of state that has presided over continuing human rights abuses.

Jimbo Lewis was in Haertig's convenience store when he purchased the ticket.
"I told the clerk she sold me a winning ticket. She said, 'Wow! Congratulations,'" Lewis said.
Katrena Doughty, who sold the ticket, was almost as surprised as Lewis.
"I had to look at the ticket a couple of times (to realize what the winnings were)," she said.
Store owner Ray Niehal said he was surprised and happy for Lewis.
Lewis, 57, who has worked for the city of Woodsboro on and off for more than 20 years, said he plans on using the money to purchase a trailer and property.
"I'm just going to live a normal life and continue working at my job," Lewis said.
"I thank the good Lord for it," he added.

Whooping cough hit Minnesota hard in 2012
More than 4,300 Minnesota residents were diagnosed with whooping cough this year.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports a quarter of the cases were among children ages 9 to 12. The number is far more than in any year since World War II.
Experts say the reason for the increased number is a redesigned vaccine that was introduced in 1991 to reduce the side effects.
Patsy Stinchfield is director of pediatric infectious disease services for Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. She says the vaccine's protection doesn't last as long, something that has taken time to observe.
Before the first pertussis vaccine became available in the United States in 1943, Minnesota had as many as 5,000 cases some years.

Lots of inspiration and creativity entering into my life right now. I have felt a cosmic type of cleansing happening to me, my life, my spirit and the lives of the people around me. Something mystical is afoot and I am happy to invite it into my life. The weather has been the first indicator of change, with the wheel of the year turning to Spring and now all of the rain… washing us clean.
I have found myself caught in these moments of pure silence and mediation, just seeing the room that I am in, the things I surround myself with; the images I have built up around me in order to define myself. In these moments I realize that I am in need of burning away the old, throwing out the unnecessary and simplifying. I know that for me the art of letting go hold great creative potential which I am seeking to let into my life.
The nomad in me is begging to be set free and I am manifesting many wonderful things right now. I will be leaving for London in a few months which I know will be a spiritual experience in itself and I am now designing so many amazing things, bringing to life images that have lived inside of me for so long. I keep asking Spirit to send to me what I need… and as always, she is
I decided to take a peek at the cards, asking what insights the Universe could offer. I chose the Daughters of the Moon Tarot because they are so vibrant and I knew that the Goddess was seeking to speak with me:
I intuitively pulled four cards. Fours are a number of stability, sanctuary and arrival to me. When I flipped the cards over I was immediately taken in my all of the fire energy. The first card was Kali-The Awakener initing me to let go in her vibrant dance of life, destroying and casting away all negative influences. Then The Phoenix asking me to rise from the ashes of my own past, being re birthed into this new phase. The Eight of Blades being a mediation for me on balance, reminding me to keep myself free. And Mawu the Mother giving birth; the embodiment of an artist being creative… giving life.
These cards are such powerful reminders to me. I know that the more inviting I am to change, the more I take from it. Life is about dancing, dancing in the dark, dancing with life, dancing with chaos, dancing to the music and dancing to the beat of your own drum. Instead of stumbling over the beat because I am afraid, I'm going to let loose and get funky with Spirit so that my inner nomad can express everything.

Hi ladies. I've posted on the EP board but needed to ask something else and I think this would be a better place to ask it.
I've been recently using a Medela Swing to pump since DD has gone on a strike (that seems to be never ending) and I decided (since I was only getting a max of an ounce in total every 4 hours) to rent a Medela Symphony. It's cost quite a bit, but what I'm most concerned about is that since I started using it, my output has dropped to nothing. If I'm lucky, I'll get a couple of drops, but otherwise I get nothing. The bottle is empty, and the little yellow membrane thingy doesn't even have anything in it. Seriously? Is this worth the money/effort/time? Am I just not doing it right? My breasts are a nice 40G (UK size) and my nipples are flat and tiny.. the horns I'm using are the standard ones. They take in nipple and areaola so I'm not to worried about that (unless of course you see a problem). I just wondered if there was something I'm doing wrong, and if there is something more I can do to help? At the moment I'm pumping every 2-3 hours in the day and every 3-4 hours at night. Have been doing so for the past 3 days now with the Symphony..
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated as I really hate the idea of giving DD formula. Thanks!

Police link fentanyl to three deaths in Addison CountyFebruary 06,2014Staff Report
BURLINGTON - Health and public safety officials are warning heroin users that product sold as heroin and packaged in the same manner as heroin may instead contain pure fentanyl or fentanyl-laced heroin.
The Vermont Department of Health reported Thursady afternoon it has just confirmed the cause of three deaths in Addison County in January to be overdoses from pure fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and much deadlier.
"Heroin users may not know they are shooting up fentanyl, or they may not know just how deadly it is," said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. "Even a very small amount of pure fentanyl, just a few grains, can stop your breathing and kill."
Fentanyl generally is used intravenously in hospitals to treat pain.
Police said this week they are trying to develop information about the packaging source and distribution of the drug.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

WVSSAC releases first prep ratings
Even though the season is just three weeks into the schedule, the WVSSAC released the first high school football ratings on Tuesday.
The top 16 teams in each class qualify for the playoffs, which will begin in November.
Huntington tops Class AAA, while Big 10 Conference member Fairmont Senior and Greenbrier West are No. 1 in Class AA and A, respectively.
If the postseasons started today, the area would fill a quarter of the Class A field, as East Hardy (third), Tucker County (seventh), Moorefield (12th) and Pendleton County (15th) are among the top 16.
The Mountain Lions (3-0) will travel to Moorefield on Friday night for a key Potomac Valley Conference contest.
Tucker County enters the game on a 13-game regular-season win streak after defeating Northern (Md.) by a score of 7-0.
Philip Barbour, which defeated Braxton County 20-12 in its last game, is 15th in Class AA. Starting quarterback and all-state performer Dillon Newman, however, suffered a knee injury in the contest and his status for Friday's Big 10 Conference game at Liberty is unknown.
Lewis County (2-1) is tied for 19th in Class AAA and the Minutemen will be idle this week after blanking Herbert Hoover, 21-0, in their last contest.
Other games on tap for Friday night include Elkins at Preston, Buckhannon-Upshur at North Marion, Bath County (Va.) at Pendleton County and Pocahontas County at East Hardy.
The Warriors won their first game of the season last Friday as Devin Rose rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns and returned an interception for another score in a 36-12 win over Pendleton County. Judd Walther also had 131 yards rushing and a TD.

August 19, 1998: A Space Telescope Science Institute astronomer has found the equivalent of the proverbial 900-pound gorilla in deep space. The "gorilla" is an extremely massive cluster of galaxies the weight of several thousand of our Milky Ways that existed when the universe was half its present age.
Paradoxically, the unexpected discovery of this ancient, heavyweight cluster is one of the strongest pieces of evidence yet that we live in a lightweight universe, one that doesn't have enough bulk to provide the gravity necessary to halt the expansion of space. Using X-ray satellites and ground-based telescopes to probe the remote regions of space, the Institute astronomer discovered MS1054-0321, a hefty galaxy cluster containing thousands of galaxies and many trillions of stars. The image on the left, taken by ground-based and X-ray observatories, shows the entire galaxy cluster surrounded by background and foreground galaxies. The image on the right, taken by Hubble's visible-light camera, provides a clearer view of the galaxies in the heart of the cluster.See the rest:

|Title: Human Subject Protection; Foreign Clinical Studies Not Conducted Under an Investigational New Drug Application
|Abstract: This final rule follows a proposed rule, which proposed to update the standards for the acceptance of foreign clinical studies not conducted under an investigational new drug application (IND) as support for an IND or marketing application for a drug or biological product. We proposed to replace the requirement in 21 CFR 312.120 that non-IND foreign clinical studies be conducted in accordance with ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki or with the laws and regulations of the country that is the research site, whichever provide greater protection to subjects. We would replace that with a requirement that such studies be conducted in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP), including review and approval by an independent ethics committee. The proposed GCP standard is consistent with the standard of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use for GCP and is sufficiently flexible to accommodate differences in how countries regulate the conduct of clinical research and obtain the informed consent of patients.

Service project provides holiday meals
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Nov. 12, 2012) - When UMES Residence Life Area Directors Clifton Harcum and Phillip Thomas set out to do a community service project, they do it in a big way.
The "Day of Thanksgiving" effort begun in 2009 to feed families in need in the Tri-County area has grown dramatically. In its first year, 150 families received boxes filled with the makings of a holiday dinner; the next, 300. Last year, 600 meals were distributed and this year, on Nov. 17—the goal is 900.
If they were in the proverbial story land, they'd be the conductors on the "Little Engine That Could."
"We have created an annual event that supports members of the community who are challenged to feed their families on a daily basis," Thomas said. "Being able to unite the campus and our neighbors, the community, to organize such an effort speaks to the character of those around us."
Harcum and Thomas have again engaged the help of area social services offices and local community organizations to identify families that qualify for assistance. Vouchers have already been given to these agencies to be passed along to families so they can pick up their meals on the designated day. No meals will be served, Harcum said.
The Maryland Food Bank in Salisbury and area businesses donate non-perishable food items that volunteers from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and the community will pack at 7 a.m. and distribute to families from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"To be able to provide assistance to our neighbors is an incredible feeling," Harcum said. "I am honored to be in a position to give back"
Want to lend a hand donating food items or volunteering during assembly and distribution? Contact Harcum at 410-621-0497 or by emailing email@example.com or Thomas at 410-651-8306 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or just show up at the Tawes gymnasium on Nov. 17, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This is a pretty misleading name. I assumed the 3 piece crate set included a... Crate? Doesn't.

Comments about Pet Dreams Cratewear Classic - 3 Piece Set - Khaki:
We brought home our new puppy last night and she was drawn right away to her crate. The bumpers add extra comfort even if your dog leans against the side of the crate and the bottom cushion is cushy and comfortable! The bumper and cushion fit perfectly and it was easy to install. I would definitely recommend this product if you want to turn a crate into a bed!

Comments about Cratewear Classic - 3 Piece Set - Khaki:
I love the idea of this crate bedding. It's very soft and looks nice. When my puppy is CALM he loves it too, but when he's anxious in his crate he goes nuts chewing on the velcro behind the bumpers. I'm afraid he might do this while I'm not home and choke on a piece of the velcro. Also, once he managed to pull the entire top cover into the crate. Great product, but use with supervision to make sure your dog isn't going to chew on the attachments.
