Pitt Johnstown 57, Wesleyan 53
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Pitt-Johnstown's Kaitlynn Fratz drilled a game-winning 3-pointer for Pitt-Johnstown with 36 seconds remaining Saturday afternoon, breaking a 53-53 tie and sparking a 57-53 victory for the Mountain Cats over West Virginia Wesleyan in WVIAC women's basketball action.
Fratz' big shot came on the heels of a prolonged dry spell from UPJ, as the Bobcats locked them down with defensive pressure in mounting a late comeback.
In front of a "white-out" crowd in Johnstown (all white t-shirt wearing customers were admitted free), Wesleyan battled the Mountain Cats to a 26-26 tie at the half. Pitt-Johnstown assumed control early in the second half, and built a six-point lead at 51-45 with seven and half minutes remaining. Wesleyan's defense turned it up a notch at that point, holding UPJ scoreless for almost five minutes, producing a 7-2 surge that tied the contest going into the final minute. A three-pointer from Wesleyan's Brittany Maxey cut the deficit to 53-52 with 1:50 remaining, and a Danesha Richardson free throw at 1:36 tied the game.
This set the stage for Fratz' game winning bomb. Wesleyan could provide an equalizer, and a late Mountain Cat free throw ended the scoring.
Fratz led all scorers with 24 points. She was complemented by teammate Rachel Johnson, who registered a team high nine rebounds.
Richardson led Wesleyan with 21 points and 14 rebounds, with Maxey also providing a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Wesleyan led in team rebounding 46-33, but was hampered by a 20-of-63 day from the floor. The Bobcats fall to 6-10 overall and 5-8 in the WVIAC. Pitt-Johnstown extends its league record to 8-6 and pushes its overall mark to 10-7. The Bobcats are idle until hosting Fairmont State on Saturday for a WVC contest.
Men's Basketball

Playing without sharpshooter T.J. Thompson, who is out with an injury, the Bobcats connected on only 4-of-16 three-pointers. This just one week after an effort that produced 17 three-pointers against Wheeling Jesuit.
Wesleyan kept it close early, and trailed by a manageable four points at the half, 35-31.
The Mountain Cats opened up some separation in the second half, and held off any potential Bobcat rally down the stretch.
Nick Novack led Pitt-Johnstown with 23 points and five assists. Jordan Miller added 16 points and broke the school record for three-point field goals made. Miller's four bombs on the day raised his career total to 271. The previous Mountain Cat record was 269.
Kelsey Williams led Wesleyan with game highs of 32 points and 11 rebounds. He was followed by Noah Cottrill with 14 and Tanner McGrew with eight. Ray Warren posted a game-high six assists.
Pitt-Johnstown improves to 11-7 with the win and an even 7-7 in the WVIAC. Wesleyan falls to 8-9 and 5-8. The Bobcats return to action Saturday, hosting Fairmont State in an afternoon tilt.

His bark pierces the silence of a winter night. He runs on legs of coiled spring-steel. He does not just persist, he thrives with the challenges of a modern foe - the face of man. Those who know when they themselves become only a memory, the red fox will dance on their graves.
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a small wild dog. It has a pointed muzzle, prominent ears and a long, bushy tail tipped in white. They appear yellowish-red from a distance. A closer look will reveal the white belly, throat and inner ears. Other color phases occur, but they are not common. These variations are silver (black fur with white hairs sprinkled among the black), cross (a portion of the fur is black and a portion of the pelt is red, and the black fur runs across the shoulders and along the back forming a cross when seen from above), and black (all fur is black; this is also known as the melanistic phase). The long guard hairs making up their colorful pelt cause them to appear larger then they actually are. The average adult weighs from 8 to 14 pounds.
Red fox are usually found in open, dry areas. Old fields, pastures, brushland, farmland, and other non-forested areas are preferred. They are abundant in some areas which are under intensive cultivation. They occur in all Indiana counties but are most numerous in northeastern section of the state.
Red fox seldom use dens except for rearing young. A search for a proper nursery begins in December when the pair inspects burrows and previous fox dens. The den selected may be located in the open or in woods. It is well-drained and usually has at least two entrances. One litter is born each year in March or April, 51 days after mating. Litters may range from one to 12, but five or six is the usual number.
Newborn fox are blind until nine days old and are constantly attended by their mother until several weeks old. The male delivers food to his family during this period of confinement. The pups first venture outside the den under guidance of parents when they are a month old. The next two months are spent with parents learning to survive on their own. The family group disbands in late summer, living separately until the life cycle is resumed in December.
Food habit studies conducted here and in other states indicate what is eaten. In general, winter and spring foods are small mammals such as rabbit, ground squirrel and mice as well as game, songbirds and larger insects. Summer diets lean heavily on berries, fruits and grasses, although a large supply of immature birds and mammals are available. Carcasses of dead hogs, sheep and cattle are eaten when the opportunity is there. Small lambs, pigs and poultry are preyed upon by red fox, but modern husbandry practices have reduced these losses.
Some hunters feel the fox predation reduces the availability of their upland game species. It is true that fox eat rabbit, quail and other game animals, and some are highly skilled hunters. Fox predation has been explored many times in widespread areas. This is a complex relationship to unravel because it involves the way in which each prey species react to the environment also occupied by fox. Some conclusions common to nearly all studies are as follows.
In summary, where many kinds of foods are available in quantity, the proportions in the annual diet are about as follows: mammals (largely rabbits and mice), 45 percent; birds, 15 percent; insects, 20 percent; and vegetable matter (largely fleshy fruits), 20 percent.
The classic confrontation between fox and hound enriches the lives of many Hoosiers. Fox-chasing advocates gather around an evening fire and listen to a pack of hounds unravel the scent-trail of an experienced red fox. Their sport is derived from the sound of hound music orchestrated in the nighttime air.
Red fox pelts are valued in the fur industry. Many sportsmen harvest red fox in front of the hounds. Usually, a group of three or four hunters take stands at locations where visibility is good and where the terrain offers possible route of escape for a fleeing fox. If everything goes according to plan, a hunter will be able to take a killing shot. Most of the time, the red fox has the odds in his favor.
A few, rugged individuals whose trademark is patience will attempt to trail a fox on foot in the winter snows, trying to spot Old Red close enough for a killing shot. Here, the sport is primarily learning the habits of an individual animal from evidence written along the winter trail.
Fox drives by group of hunters also occur, usually in the winter season. A section of land is encircled by a group of hunters, and they press forward closing to a central point. If luck is on their side, a hunter will be able to glimpse a running fox in gun range.
In recent years, the availability of effective predator calls has resulted in a number of sportsmen setting up in favorable habitat at night, attempting to lure individual fox within range by use of a call. These call imitate the sound of wounded prey species, such as rabbit, and an experienced caller can meet with success in taking red fox looking for an easy meal.
Although red fox are suspicious creatures, a well constructed dirt hole set often leads to their downfall. If care is taken to initiate the burial site of a cache of food, and if steps are taken to eliminate the telltale scent of man or trap, this set results in an ample stack of red fox pelts. There is an art to consistent success in fox trapping, and there are many Hoosiers who have learned these skills. Trapping is an effective fox population control method.
Red fox do not require specialized habitat management due to their adaptability to several food supplies and their tolerance of human activity. They are protected from hunting and trapping when the young are born and learning to survive. They are recognized as an important component of Indiana's wildlife community due to their effectiveness as predators in controlling small mammals, and they are an important animal in Indiana's fur harvest. One of the most interesting attributes of the red fox is its ability to provide challenging night chases in front of hounds.
Flashing lights, such as a strobe light, can provide temporary protection in a small area or near livestock or poultry enclosures. A combination of lights and frightening devices such as radios and timed tape recordings are likely to provide better protection.
Resident landowners and tenants can live-trap a red fox that is causing damage on their own property without a permit from the DNR. The fox must be euthanized or released within the county of capture on property in which you have permission. In order to prevent the spread of disease, the DNR encourages homeowners to safely and humanely euthanize the foxes, if possible. Legal foot-hold traps are more effective than a live cage trap when trapping adult foxes. If you do not want to trap the fox yourself, contact a licensed nuisance wild animal control operator.
Fox depredation is most common during the spring when the adults are raising their young. Damage can be reduced or eliminated by locating and removing the young foxes from the den (usually under a shed or barn). Once the foxes are removed from a den, be sure to cover the entrance to prevent it from being used again. Foxes have been known to return to the same area to raise their young each year.

"One day, on my way back from work, I tuned-in to what used to be my favorite station and started listening to Catholic Answers Live. Slowly, the hard shell that had been built around me started breaking apart every time I listened to your show. There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."

Phillies and Dodgers Families Mourn After Senseless Tragedy
Two baseball families are in mourning today after a terrible tragedy. Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords held a routine voter meet-and-greet in Tucson on Saturday that turned into a blood bath.
A lone-gunman shot 18 people, including Giffords, killing six of them. Giffords survived, despite being shot in the head. But one of people killed was 9-year old Christina-Taylor Green, daughter of Dodgers scout John Green and granddaughter of Dallas Green.
Dallas Green currently serves as Senior Advisor to the GM for the Phillies and was the manager of the 1980 World Series Championship team. This senseless act of violence has sent shock waves from coast to coast as the Green family mourns the loss of this precious child.
Christina-Taylor Green was born into tragedy on September 11, 2001. She left this world much the same way she entered it, during a heartbreaking catastrophe. The young third-grader was an aspiring politician who attended the meet-and-greet after being elected to her school student council.
Politician Sarah Palin has drawn much criticism after this shooting due to a map she published earlier in 2010. The map to the right literally "targets" specific representatives who voted for the Obama health care bill and even includes a countdown at the bottom, "17 more to go!" Giffords was one of the targets.
Some blame Palin for posting what was surely an extremely distasteful and potentially dangerous message. But while Palin should be ashamed for using gun targets in this advertisement, the real criminal is the man who held the gun.
If there was ever a case for a public hanging in the modern world, this certainly may qualify. What kind of seriously damaged human being could bring himself to slaughter innocent people, especially a child? This tragedy leaves us all with more questions than answers.
My heart breaks for the entire Green family. They will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to read that the little girl was Green's granddaughter. The whole situation is just so senseless and tragic. I hope Giffords recovers completely and goes back to doimg what she loved best: being a public servant.
It is inexplicable to me how such a promising young life can be cut short by the senseless act of an unhinged individual. She certainly sounds like she was an amazing little girl. What a terrible tragedy for the families of all the victims – my heart goes out to all of them.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
This was so senseless and tragic, especially the little girl. I…I have no words really other than that I agree with you on the public hanging part.
– Kristen
It's moments like these that make us realize how insignificant everything else in the universe is when compared to the innocence and life of a human-being. She was a beautiful little girl, and she left us way to young, yet we all understand what she meant to her loved ones, and more so, to this nation. I can only hope that her parents can find comfort in her memories and in the well wishes of a nation. A senseless act is the only way we are brought together as a nation, and I for one think that is ridiculous.
R.I.P TO Christina and to all the people that had their lives shattered when the shooting occured.
Your article is well thought out and concise. I wrote about the tragedy as well. Hope you can take the time out to read my blog, and comment on it.
Thank You, and God Bless.

Grant money available to studentsAugust 29,2013Aid for student testing available
Low-income students with high hopes will receive financial help from the federal government.
The U.S. Department of Education has awarded $28.8 million in grants to 42 states, including Vermont, to help students pay fees for advanced-placement tests. Vermont will receive $26,100.
Based on the anticipated number of test takers, the grants are expected to be sufficient to pay all but $10 of the cost of each advanced-placement exam taken by low-income students.
By subsidizing test fees for low-income students, the program is intended to encourage those students to take AP tests and obtain college credit for high school courses, reducing the time and cost required to complete a postsecondary degree.
The grants can be used to help pay for low-income students taking approved AP tests administered by the College Board, the International Baccalaureate Organization and Cambridge International Examinations.

Blame everything on Robert Shaw, my 12th grade Government/Economics teacher who entered us into the Stock Market Game 2000 contest where my selection jumped 90% in 2 months. Thus was born my love for the stock market when I realized I could do that with real money!

May Day rally to advocate for the working classBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 29,2013MONTPELIER In 2009, the Vermont Workers Center convened the first-ever May Day rally as a way of demonstrating political support for single-payer health care.
Four years later, this annual day of action will include a call for increased government spending on programs to improve the lot of poor and working-class Vermonters. James Haslam, director of the Vermont Workers Center, said he expects thousands to show up for a daylong event Wednesday that will include a rally on the Statehouse lawn.
Haslam said the event comes as lawmakers consider a slew of fiscal policies that threaten to undermine living conditions for low-income, elderly, and disabled Vermonters.
We seem to be moving backward in some areas, Haslam said. And what were trying to do is show legislators that the priorities of Vermonters are for policies that meet the needs of our communities. And to show them that if that means we need to raise revenue, then theres a tremendous amount of support for that.
Gov. Peter Shumlin has said hes also dedicated to lifting low-income Vermonters out of poverty, and building jobs and incomes for the middle class. Shumlin has called for $17 million in new child care subsidies for low-income parents, and is pushing for universal access to pre-kindergarten.
Haslam and Sen. Anthony Pollina said those programs would be welcome additions to the slate of government services. But they said Shumlins method of funding the new initiatives budgetary cuts to other human services programs violates the principles of a peoples budget.
Inside the Statehouse, we hear a lot about how tough the economy is, Pollina said. But the proposals you see coming from the Legislature and governor are only going to make life more difficult for people outside the building.
Pollina said proposed cuts to the earned-income tax credit, reduced health care subsidies for lower-income Vermonters, and the imposition of time limits on welfare benefits are symptomatic of a legislative environment that tries to balance the budget on the backs of the poor.
Shumlin last week reiterated his opposition to tax increases, saying Vermonts fragile economic recovery cant withstand increases in taxes on sales, rooms and meals, or income. Pollina, however, said that not only can the rich well afford a tax increase, but that assessing one on them would stimulate the economy, not depress it.
The economy isnt going to get better until middle- and low-income people have money to spend, Pollina said. We cant talk about fairness and equity taxes unless were willing to talk about growing inequality in incomes, and thats not a conversation people in Montpelier seem very eager to have right now.
Haslam said the Wednesday rally will include residents representing organized labor, environmental organizations, migrant justice groups and more.
A march through Montpelier will depart from the Statehouse lawn at noon. The event will continue throughout the afternoon, with speakers, exhibits and live music.
Haslam said he hopes the event will compel legislators to consider their votes carefully as the session nears its end.
The way things typically get done in Montpelier, and in politics in general, is with professional lobbying, and usually with lots of money spent by corporations and special interests, Haslam said. What we are all about, and what May 1 is all about, is the power of people the power of people acting together to create change.

Gunslinger Doc Holliday dies, the X-ray is discovered by accident, John F. Kennedy is elected president, and the Florida recount begins, all on this day.
1960: U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy, a Democrat from Massachusetts, defeats Vice President Richard Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections of the 20th century to become the 35th president of the United States. Kennedy was elected with a lead of 112,827 votes, or 0.16 percent of the popular vote, giving him a victory of 303 to 219 in the Electoral College, the closest since 1916.

The Phillies beat the Dodgers, 3-2, on Monday night for their third straight win. It's the Phillies' first three-game winning streak since May 23-26, when they won four in a row.
-Joe Blanton pitched eight strong innings, allowing two runs. He struck out seven batters without a walk, improving his gaudy K/BB numbers to 102 and 16, respectively.
-Blanton broke a personal streak of 11 straight starts surrendering a home run. He was one away from tying Randy Wolf (2000) for the longest stretch in Phillies history.
-Ryan Howard hit his first home run of the season, an opposite-field solo shot after he narrowly missed hitting one out to the same spot an at-bat earlier. It was the 287th homer of Howard's career.
-Jimmy Rollins went deep for the ninth time.
-Carlos Ruiz continues his torrid season. Chooch doubled in the second inning and scored on a single by Juan Pierre, who is also somewhat-quietly having a really nice year.
-Shane Victorino tripled for the third straight game. He had two in his previous 87 games. Victorino is the first player to triple in three straight games since… Shane Victorino, in 2011.
-It was great to see "The Big Piece" trot back after a long layoff, and the swing also looked pretty decent. Howard held the hands back and went to the opposite field. When he's on, that's the direction he goes in. In the second inning, he narrowly missed one, too.
-Blanton: 8 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K.
-In the middle innings, it was about damage control (or control damage as Sarge says). Blanton ran into a bit of trouble in the fourth, allowing two to reach base, but ended the inning on a knee-high strike three to James Loney. Great way to keep a zero on the board.
In the sixth, Blanton ran into another issue as the Dodgers put runners on the corners with no outs and Matt Kemp at the dish. Big Joe coolly got him to ground into a 5-4-3 double play, which did allow a run to cross home. However, it was the only run of that frame. In the seventh, the Dodgers would tack on another on a wild pitch to make it 3-2, but Blanton held them there.
-Blanton outpitched his counterpart Nate Eovaldi, who left after just five innings and was inconsistent. Eovaldi throws hard, but still appears to be a work in progress.
-Tomorrow, it's finally the return of Roy Halladay, who starts for the first time since being sidelined on May 28 with a strained lat muscle. Excited to see what Roy will do, but let's also temper expectations. The Dodgers have not announced a starter yet.

Joe Blanton is like that legendary box of chocolates from Forrest Gump.
Not much comments yet on this board… Are we STUNNED that we won, after such a long losing streak?
Not much comments yet on this board… Are we STUNNED that we won, after such a long losing streak? Are we stunned that we won a game against the Dodgers?
Frankly we are stunned Arty – and it was quite late on a school night.
The victory looked vaguely familiar didn't it? Some solo shots, a good, strong pitching effort?
Brought back some memories for me.
Tonight some Doc followed by the Cliff then some Vanimal on Friday.
Although thoughts of post season are far away, the glimmer of a good season still remains with this crew.
Too bad they will likely be broken up soon, this has been one tremendous ride.
Query: Do we REALLY want the Phils to go on a modest winning streak?
The Dipsy
Dipsy – Is that a real question?
I'm gonna say it – I don't care who hates me – I don't want this team to win a few games and start to think that they are gonna make the playoffs cuz they're not. I want Ruben to proceed with making the deals he needs to make for the long run and not be distracted by a 7 -3 over the next ten games or so.
The Dipsy
i'm with you Dipsey! as much as i hate to see them lose, winning 7 of 10 will only slow the retool process. i hear rumors of the dodgers interested in rollin? i'd do that deal in a heartbeat. yea i know the we don't have another SS ready to go but really i'd do it now. the season is lost! the math suggests it. if we won 30 straight games ( haha) and wash. played .500 ball we'd be there with them at the top! think about that! it aint happenning. so move on to getting ready for next year. sign cole and do what you have to do to get younger and hungrier.
I also agree, Dipsy.
The phillies need to sign Joe Blanton to a long term extension before Cole Hamels if they want to show they are comitted to winning
i guess if blanton pitches stinky in his next start you'll be saying to trade him?
I would agree that Ruben needs to make the necessary moves he needs to make despite any sort of winning streak. The reality is that they need to win 90 games to make the playoffs…that's 50-21 the rest of the way. Possible but not very likely. That said, I want them to play well and win games in order to salvage this season and not have it be a complete disaster.
chuck the season is allready a disaster! trade who you can for the best players you can get and get a jump on retooling for next year. if i was running the F.O. that's my mantra for the next two months. it was a good run. hopefully we can take a pause this year and get back to it next year. rollins is not the player he used to be. D. Murphy has an article on phila.com making a case for not trading rollins. this is the same guy who was telling us for 2-3 yrs that the core is getting older and with rollins contract that nobody would deal for him! lo an behold a team (dodgers) the dodgers show up and want to deal for him and murphy starts giving all the stats of other SS in the league and how the great numbers of rollins shadows them! whew! i'd do it he's the new bobby abreu. get rid of him and move on. he's been very good for us during the run but theres a time that you can't keep a player for what he did a few years ago. it's time for rube to steal some prospects from other teams hungry to win just like we did. give them his slowing legs and depleted fielding range now before it's too late. he still has 2 yrs and a vesting yr on his current contract. we don't need a david bell like player at SS after this year or the next. or we'll have another disaster of a season next yr or the one after that.
This team is playing better baseball since the all star break… Just saying.
sorta like the eagles manny! suck for allmost 3/4 of the season them start to play decent towards the end so everybody can feel good. we'll all go to sleep feeling that they'll be ok next year. i like when they win, i hate to see them lose but at this point reality says that next year it'll be more of the same only getting worse. don't fool yourself my man. they are not getting me sucked into a false hope. i'm on the bandwagon but i'm laying there passed out! sorta like laying there and having a dream about having a really good cup of coffee, then you wake up after the wagon hits a bump and you go ewwwwwwwwwwww! who farted
Haha that gave me a good laugh! These next few games before the trade deadline are crucial, and if the Phils keep it up, I don't see how that's getting sucked into a false hope.
manny i don't know for sure i'd, get sucked in but my guess is i would. cause i know i get excited when they win and i think they have a chance. but my lifelong experience with the phils goes pretty far back and the false hope is …… well i made ya laugh once i don't want to get carried away manny! thanks for the comment on my humor. ya gotta have a sense of humor! my goal is to make one person a day smile if i acheive that then there is hope!
Ruben needs to wake up and smell the roses. We need to rebuild and we need to do it now.
He will be lulled into a false sense of enthusiasm if we start a winning streak. He will be anxious to prove that his expensive moves were indeed smart ones. His ass is in the frying pan and he hopes a winning streak will help pull it out. NO WAY !!! I love the Phils, but like a sick child, I know it is time for intervention.
Now we're 10GB in the WC. This team is not gonna fold, folks.
Manny, get your head out of your ass. ITS OVER. They are NOT going to make the playoffs. Wake up and get real.
Trading Rollins???
Its a start of a long process is all.
How dare I?
I remember 2006
I do.
Seems to be a sampling of people reflecting a little fear that Senor Amaro will get lulled into a false sense of security with better play now, and in coming games from the comments above. Um, would wow be appropriate? To me, that underestimates not so much him, but anybody around the bigs holding the lofty title of GM. If he doesn't know the likes of Polanco and Mayberry and the bullpen at large are hinderances, well…no need to complete that particular sentence.
Get it while you can.
Can't wait for tonight. Looking forward to a very sound, very stable performance from Doc.
And when he pitches well
And if
he pitches well
Let's see if through the magic of the reply space we can try to make sense of the last part of the above.
If and when he pitches well, and there is only health to stand in the way of that, there's no reason to believe that he'll be asked to do too much in the next 2 starts. It's a process, but by month's end, we oughta be able to see the Doc as we know him. Health willing.
Hallday. Tuesday night. Let's get it on.
I wonder how many pitches he will be allowed to throw. Hope they err on the side of caution.
lefty i heard somewhere around 80 pitches.
FWIW, this is inreply to comments by Lefty and Ryne. I have a feeling it winds up above theirs. I don't really care, but I heard somewhere location, location, location, so I'll act concerned.
Ryne said 80 pitches is what he heard. What I read was Dubee doing his ususal secret thing (remember how he said he had some thoughts on Cliff and how he could do better, but he didn't want it in the papers?), but in the next graph, 80 was a number mentioned.
But going back to dialogue with Lefty from a few days ago, we both offered that stress was the main thing…I inferred from Lefty's comments stress was separated by majors and minors, whereas I thought it was separated by Dodger Stadium, and a more offensive haven. And facing the Dodgers instead of an offensive juggernaut at this point. Not that the Dodgers are awful, but whatever stress is created is the main thing. Plus, how he feels between innings.
Will they be on the cautious side? Bet both your sweet, and sour bippy on that. Dubee's the one who pulled the plug in the Cardinal game on 5/27.
Want an amateur guess number for the hell of it? 75.
I go back to dialogue
"Wow" is absolutely appropriate. If Amaro's sensibilities were as easily lulled as some fans fear, the owners would demote him to ball girl.
A winning streak is not going to affect the Hamels negotiations at all. He either signs or he doesn't, and if he doesn't, the Phils trade him.
As far as other trades, I don't see anyone who would bring back anyone really good, except key players like Ruiz or Halladay. Blanton? Kendrick? Mayberry? They won't get a team much of anything.
Victorino, as a rental, might be the best bet, but he's having a lousy year which has hurt his value so I wouldn't expect much more than a mid-level prospect or two. Pence would be a better chip, but I doubt he gets traded due to team control and relative youth.
In other words, in my opinion, a winning streak is not a hindrance to "retooling" in the least. In fact, if the team plays better, some of the guys might increase their perceived value to other teams.
If the team does well for only a short time, some of these players will probably pass through waivers and could still be traded.
Not too much worse than falling asleep during the 9th inning of a 1 run game. Glad to see the phillies start to put it together… and it's starts like this that will make me miss Joe next year.
I can see what some of you are saying, I just do not get it, you do not trade for the sake of trading someone to say you did something. If you can not get players that can play, not potential players that someday may be good, especially for a guy like JRoll, he is still going to be a good player and worth 11million and think he will be worth it next year. They do need bull pen pieces but if any of you seriousily think that there are bull pen guys that are consistent year in year out that your are going to get for anyone the Phillies want to trade you are crazy.
Agree about Rollins. He is still a very good shortstop and worth every penny of his contract. Will likely be worth more than the $9.5 average this year, and maybe less than that by year 4, but that's fine.
Not to mention that Rollins is a 10-5 guy, which means he gets final say in all potential trades. If Jimmy wants to stay in Philly, he's staying in Philly, regardless of whether some goofy fans or the front office want to trade him away.
There are probably about 15- 20 teams looking to bolster their bullpens, making relievers a premium right now.
In terms of cause and effect, does this increase or decrease the value of guys like Victorino? Obviously it makes for more competition to get a solid RH reliever, so you have to give more to get one. But would the few possible sellers with good pens like Oakland (Balfour) want veteran rentals, very doubtful. They'd probably want prospects.
IMO- I don't care which veteran(s) they have to trade, they need to shore up the pen for the present and the future. Win streak or not.
With that much competition for bullpen help, I doubt if the Phils have the players needed to make a trade for a major league arm.
I also don't think they need to make a trade for pen help. (I do hope they dump Sanches, though.) Relievers are inconsistent, and inexperienced relievers are extremely inconsistent. This season is probably hopeless, so they might as well let their own guys get the ML experience they need. They can aim for any needed improvements in the off season.
I DO care which veteran(s) they trade. Ruiz, for instance, should be completely off limits to other teams, and most the other Phils are more valuable than a middle reliever who might be worse next year than what they already have. The guys that are less valuable will have no trade appeal whatsoever to a contending team.
george with the phils 10 GB in the wild card and if some team ( the A's ) offered the phils a package for rollins including say balfour and the return of micheal taylor and a pitching prosect. would you trade him? would you trade vic for dee gordon and a prospect from the dodgers? i know gordons out right now with an injury. but as you know our DL is starting to get a little thin! lol
Please allow me to correct the last statement in my previous comment to say- I don't care which veteran(s) they have to trade to get a package of players of equal value including, most importantly, a strong young arm or two to help bolster the bullpen. Obviously I'm not trading Ruiz, Victorino, Hamels, or Pence for a single middle bullpen piece.
The following is to clarify what I said above, for example purposes only. I'm not a GM and don't know how to structure trades.
If the Reds, who have a good BP are willing to give up Zach Cozart and Aroldis Chapman for Jimmy Rollins, Juan Pierre, and Diekman, or maybe Jay Bruce and Chapman for Pence, Nix and Fontenot…..(you get the idea?), then I am all in.
It doesn't have to be those particular players, that was just an example. What I'm saying is IMO absolutely no one is untouchable if reasonable equal value deals can be reached. You have to be willing to give, in order to get.
Oh, and Sanches is gone, outrighted to AAA again.
The Athletics are not going to offer a "package" for Rollins, especially one containing Taylor and Balfour. Balfour is not a guy you trade if you're trying to reach the playoffs.
I would not trade Vic for Gee. Before his injury, he wasn't doing much. If the prospect offered had real promise, I might.
I do agree, though, that the Phils' DL is losing players lately, and that problem needs to be addressed. Maybe they could push some of their relievers down a staircase.
Lefty, I realize that you wouldn't trade players for garbage. Niether would I. My point is that the players the Phils actually could trade are not going to bring back premium guys. Most of the Phils' chips are rentals or bench guys, (that includes Pierre) and wouldn't net much, unless the trading partner is so desperate they've gone nuts. Rollins might net someone good, but he can also veto anything. Hamels would bring the most, but he is one of those aforementioned rentals, and probably would deliver a disappointing haul.
I will agree, though, that if the team CAN get someone of equal value WHO ACTUALLY FILLS A NEED then the trade should be made.
Question for all of you that want Rollins traded: Who would you suggest plays shortstop….as good as Jimmy still does?? Just askin' …
A shortstop would have to be included in the trade, maybe a three team deal since the team trading for Rollins obviously wouldn't have one. Or look at my last comment above. 26 year old Zach Cozart, with a ton of potential, under team control is perfect. He plays the position very well and is learning to hit. Look at his 2010 season w Louisville. 30 doubles, 17 HR's, 30 SB's, 67 RBI, 91 Runs scored- potential.
A ton of potential, but currently injured. I thought for a second you were talking about Dom Brown, and just got the name wrong.
You've got the wrong Cozart maybe? Anyway Zach Cozart of the Reds is healthy. I just watched him play on Sunday Night Baseball. Of course they would have no interest in trading him for an older Rollins, but as I said, it was just an example.
Everyone here is crazy to trade this entire team away. Yes, they are built for now. They lost there 3 4 hitters and there ace. Win with that. Fill in guys that should not be starting. You gave Jimmy a contract now stick with him. He plays the field good and can still hit. This team is not done yet. Sign Cole and we will start winning. Cole, Lee, Doc will start winning there games. This team won 102 f'in games last season and you want to trade the parts away. Typical Philly.
Well said, Jeff.
Can we all not talk about this and keep from jinxing it?
Too late. I put on my worley shirt on Saturday for good luck and didn't take it off until after they had won last night, meaning they won every game after I put that shirt on. So the winning streak will end today, but hey, I didn't want to smell anymore.
Quick! Wash the damned shirt and put it back on!
If they lose tonight it's all Dave P's fault. In their playoff run in 08, I didn't take my shirt off until the last pitch from Lidge. I don't have many friends anymore 🙂
It is also crazy to think this team has 0 chance to make a wild card run, probabal(sp) no impossible no. It falls somewhere inbetween. This team can win 8-9 in a row maybe more if the pen can come around. Look at ST L. last year they had the worst BP in the league at the break, and the guys they brought in did a real good job what are they doing this year, not so good. BP arms are streaky, Can Bastardo look more like first half Bastardo for a month or two why not, it is the nature of the beast. You can all follow AFW off the band wagon, and hope this teams losses more games so they can part with some expireing contracts for potential, and start over again next year. But in my mind they can still make a run. Look at the Rockies for the last couple of years they were 10-11 games back at the all star break and made a run each year, this team is as good as them, and you never know the pressure may get to the Nats if the Phillies run off 10 in a row and they go 4-6. I know I know it is not going to happen, the Nats are going to win 100 games and Phillies 60 so lets all just go home and cry ourselves to sleep
beta – I'm not getting off the bandwagon and I don't want them to pile up more losses just so they can be more motivated to sell. But they are not going to make the playoffs. They have 7….that's SEVEN …. teams in front of them. It's not happening. People seriously need to get real.
Did you see the season last year, two teams in two divisions where what 7-8 games back with 10 -15 to go or some stupid number, I am sure you would be saying that the Cards, and the Rays had no chance in making the playoffs in the begining of sept last year. Do I think that they will make the playoffs, probably not, do I think there is not way they can make the playoffs, definatly not,(wait is that double negetive or something) What I am saying is I would not put my house up to bet on them making the playoffs, but would I throw $100 at 100-1 that they do, yes I might. Baseball is a funny game, look at the A's a while back didn't they win 20 in a row and don't you think this team is better than that team?
Now I am not saying the Phils will win 20 in a row or even 4 in a row. My point is that it is possible, is it possible if they trade Vic less likly, if they trade Cole less likly. But it is baseball and there is a reason they play 162 and not 100 games.
One more thing even if they do not make a run at it, can we not at least enjoy a little spark, a little run of good baseball, for the sake of the game that we love. Just enjoy the wins and chalk it up to a bad year, Can't we keep a little hope alive that it is not all about money and making the playoffs every year, watch to enjoy good baseball. Because we all know we did not see very much good baseball in the first half
Beta, you make a lot of good points. But you are overlooking one key factor. Charlie Manuel allowed Ryan Howard to bat in the 8th inning against a lefty.
He did it in the failure (playoffs) last year too.
And he pitched Oswalt instead of Worley in the playoffs.
Dolores you are programed to fail. Through and through.
Why do you want to lose?
You want Jimmy.
You want Howie to hit away. Swing away 3-0.
Why do you want to lose with the greatest pitching staff ever?
You just do like Charlie and Beta.
Holding out for heros.
I am hlding out for a win.
It didnt happen.
So you win.
I would say you are becoming the Cubs but they are not in last place.
The Phillies are.
Can you lock up Howard for any longer?
You just need to offer some more money.
He will hit 4th for the duration.
Of curse Rollins 1 Utley 3 so it can be forever.
Would like to have some baserunning tips. Tips for stanlieg bases, what to look for when trying to steal 2nd and 3rd off of RHP's and LHP's and leads at 2nd base (deep or shallow) and why and what situation.

PORTALES — Six Eastern New Mexico University students helped Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean set a Guinness World Record on Monday night.
In a Campus Union Building room decorated with Dean posters and stickers, students listened to one of 3,577 phone lines nationwide in Dean's record-setting conference call.
Dean answered questions on everything from global warming to gay rights and affirmative action, stating his campaign is "a grassroots effort to take back a country that has gone astray."
Justin Ward, part of an outreach of ENMU students who support Dean, said he first met Dean at a Young Democrats National Convention this summer in Buffalo, N.Y.
"The first thing I like about Howard Dean is he came to our national convention, and right away that got my attention," Ward said.
Among Dean's top priorities is health insurance for every child in America, something he said he was able to accomplish for 99 percent of children in Vermont, where Dean was a former governor.
"That's something I think every civilized nation, every industrialized nation in the world, has to have for its people," Ward said. "The United States doesn't have that and I think that's wrong."
Sophomore Sarah Brooks agreed with Ward on Dean's health care policy, but didn't agree with Dean's pro-affirmative action stance.
"I like his ideas on health care, I think it's a really good idea," Brooks said. "But I don't agree with some of his views."
For example, in affirmative action there may be quotas where "you have to hire 45 (minorities). Well what if only 40 apply for the job? You have to hire all of them and that's not fair. I don't think there should be quotas," Brooks said.
Dean criticized President Bush throughout the 20-minute conference call, and was particularly critical of Bush's tax cuts and defense strategies.

Tea Party Favorite DeMint Resigns Unexpectedly
In what could be a sign of the tea party's waning influence in Congress, one of its champions suddenly resigned his Senate seat Thursday. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) unexpectedly announced he will leave the Senate at the beginning of January to become the next president of The Heritage Foundation, one of the largest and most-well-funded conservative think tanks in Washington. DeMint, who often backed conservative alternatives to establishment candidates in GOP primaries, was re-elected to a second term in the tea party-backed wave of 2010. He was the first member of Congress to back Marco Rubio's challenge to Gov. Charlie Crist in what became a nasty GOP primary for the party's nomination for Senate. Rubio ended up winning the election, … Continue reading

Green Rep
It was f'd.
It was not f'd.
It was close enough between him and D12. Whatever.
I can smell virgins from great distances.
u cant sleep on Kurt Thomas .... who happen to be the Knicks best post-defender,
and pick n roll artest in the millenium (1999 to 2005).
I recall several seasons where Kurt Thomas were the Knicks only ledgit
frontcourt bigman in a 48 min lineup do to injuries to Camby or Mcdyess.
Kurt Thomas presence on the Bucks, and then the Bulls had those teams
frontcourt bigmen playing above average .. great coaching potential.
I never understood the Chicago Bulls GM Paxon & coach Skiles never hiring
a bigman-coach for rookie Tyson Chandler & rookie Eddie Curry for 4 straight seasons.
The Bulls organization depended on one player "Dale Davis" to teach two high school kids
how to play NBA ball.
Green Rep
With three point guards already clicking with him, guess how much.
Hopefully he'll do more than dunks, but if this is gonna be the norm, that's all he might need to do along with hitting free throws efficiently.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I really want to say 13ppg, but I think it will be the same as last year.
For all the increase we got in point guard depth, we also have to great and good back up centers in Camby and Thomas. This will mean less playing time for Chandler as our stars minutes will be managed this year.
Amare will probably get a slightly bigger role in the offense too.
As mentioned by RJ, with these PGs the sync is already there. He's played with Kidd and Felton in Dallas and Charlotte respectively, and after 2 games alongside Pablo, it's clear that the league's oldest rookie in history is as capable a P&R passer as Chandler is a pick setter.
Given that, I believe he'll have some games with 20+ totals like last year, and some games with sub 10 point outings.
Bring STAT in to the P&R free-for-all this team'll be feeding off and that brings Tyson's PPG down from its potential, leaving me thinking he will average 11.5-13PPG.
For the sake of a definitive prediction, I'll go with 12.6.
As you'll see in my soon to be released Knicks mix, some of the Knicks most beautiful plays last season were the connection of Melo passing to Tyson on the break. We see more of that, and I'll go so far as to say he's capable of a 16PPG season.
a solid 10ppg-10rpg
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
I'm with NicksKnicks.
10 PPG. maybe even less. With STAT and felton getting more buckets there simply won't be enough touches to go to Chandler. I am hoping he will be able to top his record FG% however.
10-11, Amare is going to be different this year...shows a lot of ambition to changing what he was last year to what he was when he first started as a Knick. I expect more shot attempts from Amare, so Chandler won't be featured as much...even though he shoots a crazy high FG% and it would be nice to get Tyson more lobs.
This should be merged in his player performance thread
Tyson only worries about scoring when he fells he has too.
He can score 20 points a game. But when you have to worry about defense and rebounding as much as he does then some games where our offense is clicking he might only get 5 which hurts his average.
So I really don't think it matters what his average will be. Only that he produces points when we need him to.
10.2 points a night.

Caravel's Savage - WDEL Male HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Thursday, November 22, 2012 - 1:31am
VIDEO: Interview with Darnell Savage
Caravel Academy running back Darnell Savage is this week's WDEL Male High School Athlete of the Week.
The sophomore scored six touchdowns in the Bucs' 53-21 victory over St. Elizabeth last Friday.
Darnell says he loved the feeling of finding the end zone each time.
"It's a great feeling when you score in any game, and especially in a state tournament game. It's a great feeling when you score six touchdowns because that doesn't normally happen."
Darnell's great skill and elusiveness helped key the huge performance, but he also emphasized that it was not all him.
"Our blockers and front line are great. We execute fakes well, the other (running) backs block well, it's a team effort."
Caravel is no stranger to the state tournament after falling in the championship game last year, I asked Darnell what's the difference between the regular season and postseason.
"The intensity is great, you're so excited you just can't wait to play because you want to do well."
Caravel fell in the state championship game last year, what will it take to have the Bucs holding the trophy on November 30th?
"Hard work, dedication, and we've got to come out there ready to play."

Every Rug Needs a Rugpad
Yes, recommended to a friend.True to it's name September 28, 2013

Since we are "green" conscious we appreciate that the rug pad is "earth friendly" and that is one of the reasons we chose this item. We are enjoying both the new rug and rug pad."

Good but not on the square April 01, 2013
"Product works well. The cats had been throwing the "throw" rugs around in there periodic scrambles for kitty dominance. The one improvement would be for the cut edges to be square with the sides. I had to recut both ends as these were at an angle to 90 degrees."

May 8, 2013 —
On June 29, the public is invited to experience the diversity of life on a property owned by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation in the Northeast corner of Wayne County, during the first Upper Delaware BioBlitz.
At a BioBlitz, biologists and volunteers gather to collect, identify and catalogue as many living things as possible on a demarcated property in a 24-hour period.
The goal is to highlight the biodiversity of the Upper Delaware River watershed. Teams will focus on specific categories of life, including aquatic macroinvertebrates, birds, botany, fish, fungi, reptiles and amphibians, invertebrates, mammals, mosses and lichens.
Recently, volunteers met at the site near the confluence of the East and West branches of the Delaware River in Starlight, PA. During the brief time spent exploring, an interesting array of specimens was observed, some of which are depicted here.
As a member of the steering committee, I extend a personal invitation to all River Talk readers to join us that day for an adventurous and educational experience.
View the collected specimens, talk to the experts and enjoy a workshop, all at no charge. Bring the family from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to learn more.
Voluneers are needed for various roles.
Contact Joann at email@example.com [2] for details. Visit upperdelawarebioblitz.com or www.facebook.com/2013UpperDelawareBioBlitz [3] for additional information and directions to the site, or email firstname.lastname@example.com [4].

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
It is an exciting and pivotal time for U.S. policy in the Asia-Pacific region. It is the most dynamic, fastest growing region in the world. Over the next five years, nearly half of all growth outside the United States is expected to come from Asia.
The Free Maternity Services policy introduced in 2013 has greatly increased demand for health services For this reason, in addition to providing medical equipment to hospitals, ample space in these facilities for health services is also necessary. We have worked with counties, including Machakos, to meet this need by renovating maternal and newborn units, including hospitals in Kangundo and Athi River.
Yet, even if a woman owns a computer or mobile phone, she won't use it to its full potential if she lacks the necessary skills and confidence. USAID is proud that through our partnership in the Women and the Web Alliance, we are improving the digital literacy skills and confidence of women to use technology in improving their lives.
As you already know, trafficking in persons is a global human rights challenge. The criminal networks involved in trafficking make huge profits by preying upon the most vulnerable in our region. This destructive practice breaks down rule of law, corrupts global commerce, and severely disrupts the social fabric in affected communities.
For the past 60 years, the Government and the people of the United States have demonstrated a strong commitment to assisting Sri Lanka in achieving sustainable development for a stable, democratic, and prosperous nation.
Today we are launching a collection of inspiring stories of ordinary men and women who are advancing tourism throughout the Philippines. They come from places as far north as Ilocos Norte and as far south as Zamboanga. Tourism Stories is an invitation to everyone to celebrate the triumph of the Filipino spirit amid adversity. This book features stories of vulnerable men and women who have overcome hardships, forging dignified livelihoods through tourism, and helping to advance the sector throughout the Philippines.
On behalf of the United States Government, I congratulate the Government of Vietnam on the Prime Minister's establishment of the National Committee on Disability – or NCD – last October and on today's inaugural meeting.
The TPP offers a platform for expanding education and training services trade among TPP countries, particularly Vietnam. This could include online courses delivered by U.S. universities, exchange of education professionals, and U.S. and Vietnamese students studying at institutions in each other's countries.
USAID is pleased to support the Government of the Philippines, through a grant to the UPEcon Foundation, to implement the Energy Policy Development Program. The program works to strengthen the country's energy policies that will promote more affordable, reliable and environmentally-sound energy development. These are key elements to sustain the country's growth trajectory.
Although there were structural and systematic flaws, the November election was the most inclusive, credible and transparent in Burma's recent history.
It was an incredible election. Millions of people from around the country — many of whom were voting for the first time — seized this opportunity to move one step closer to a democracy that respects the rights of all.
