Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 21/14| For Immediate Release
Glen Carruthers, Dean of Music
Barbara Smith, Executive Director
WATERLOO Following a successful first season together in 2013, Wilfrid Laurier University and the National Youth Orchestra of Canada have entered into a long-term commitment to hold the NYOCs annual Summer Training Institute at Lauriers Waterloo campus.
Last year was the first time we held the NYOCs Summer Training Institute at Laurier, and Dean of Music Glen Carruthers, together with the universitys faculty and staff, have been so welcoming that we are thrilled to be invited to make Laurier our new home, said NYOC Executive Director Barbara K. Smith. The response from the community was so enthusiastic last summer that all of us look forward to returning to Laurier again and again and to further developing our partnership. Our musicians, staff and faculty love Laurier and the Waterloo community.
Founded in 1960, the NYOC is Canadas preeminent national training orchestra, recruiting the best classical musicians from age 16 to 28 from across Canada and offering them training and mentoring from renowned professional orchestral musicians. Each year, approximately 500 applicants from across the country audition for 90 to 100 coveted positions in the orchestra. Close to 40 per cent of Canadas professional orchestral musicians are alumni of the NYOC, including members of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic and the Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver Symphonies, as well as other orchestras and ensembles in Canada and around the world.
Laurier is very proud to host this iconic Canadian cultural institution on a continuing basis. The NYOC has played a pivotal role in the lives of so many Canadian musicians, its stellar reputation is richly deserved, said Glen Carruthers, dean of Lauriers Faculty of Music. Laurier offers one of Canadas outstanding post-secondary music programs and the NYOC is one of the worlds top training orchestras. There is a natural synergy between Laurier and the NYOC, which both prepare exceptional musicians for successful and sustainable professional careers.
The NYOCs Summer Training Institute takes place in June and July and includes extensive instruction, tutorials and rehearsals for chamber music and full orchestra performance. The Institute also offers lectures and seminars on topics of importance to professional orchestral musicians such as audition skills, career development and injury prevention and musician wellness. The Summer Training Institute culminates in a national concert tour with performances in key cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver in addition to Waterloo Region, as well as a professional recording session to produce the NYOCs annual music CD. Internationally renowned conductor Emmanuel Villaume will conduct the NYOC in 2014.
The NYOC will perform chamber music and a full orchestra concert in Lauriers Maureen Forrester Recital Hall and full orchestra performances at Kitcheners Centre in the Square and other communities in Waterloo Region. Concert dates will be announced at nyoc.org and at wlu.ca/music.

OverviewCustom WaveView™ is a graphical waveform viewer and simulation post-processing tool for analog and mixed-signal ICs. Custom WaveView features fast loading, display scrolling, and zooming of very large waveform files, multiple simulator format support, and a rich set of analog and mixed-signal analysis features.
Download Datasheet
IntroductionCustom WaveView is a full analog and mixed-signal display and analysis environment, reading simulation results from either analog or digital simulators and allowing complete conversion between views. For instance, Custom WaveView can read-in the analog results of an HSPICE® simulation, convert those waveforms to digital (single or multi-bit with user-selectable thresholds) and export those results for use in a digital simulation. Custom WaveView also provides a host of capabilities for displaying, measuring, manipulating and saving simulation results. In addition to multiple panels containing waveforms, Custom WaveView can also display more than one waveform tab allowing the designer to mix-and-match time and frequency domains in a single session.
Figure 1: Custon WaveView Main Window
Single Waveform Tool for Multiple SimulatorsCustom WaveView is completely integrated with Synopsys' Galaxy Custom Designer® implementation tool and supports cross-probing with the Custom Designer SE schematic editor. Custom WaveView will also read many common SPICE, FastSPICE, and Verilog simulator waveform files from Synopsys, Mentor, and Cadence.
Waveform DisplayCustom WaveView's advanced user interface allows the user to browse waveform data hierarchies and then drag-and-drop multiple selected signals into a waveform display window. Waveforms in the display window can have one or more non-overlapping panels. Panels in a window can be arranged as either a vertical stack or as independent rows and columns. Rows and columns may be vertical, horizontal, or tiled.
Cursors, Monitors and the Measurement Tool
CursorsCustom WaveView provides an unlimited number of cursors specifically for interactive on-screen measurement of waveforms. Set to either the vertical or horizontal mode, these cursors can be moved around the waveform and display "X-at-Y" information on-screen.
MonitorsMonitors can be added to the waveform panels to perform more complex measurements. Monitors include Derivative, Inverse Derivative, Delta Value, Cursor Average, Minimum/ Maximum/Average, Peak-to-Peak and RMS values of a given waveform.
Measurement ToolCustom WaveView's powerful Measurement tool provides a wealth of domain-specific measurements that simplify design analysis. The Measurement tool provides rapid-on waveform display of over 35 types of measurements. Measurements are persistent across sessions and can be "replayed" against a new set of simulation results as needed (see Figure 2). As simulation results change, measurements are updated automatically, presenting the user with the latest information available. The Measurement tool supports many measurements including time domain, frequency domain, statistical, level, S-domain, and RF.
Figure 2: Measurement Tool
Eye DiagramsCustom WaveView's eye diagram capability allows users to easily create a folded eye diagram from complex waveforms. The eye diagram is constructed by automatically extracting the clock cycle, or by reference to an ideal clock, or to an external signal. Once constructed, the Automatic Eye Measurement tool can take eye opening or aperture measurements as well as create a jitter histogram. Figure 3 shows a typical eye diagram with cursors used to measure the eye width.
Figure 3: Eye Diagram
Waveform Post-processingA-to-D; D-to-A ConversionAnalog waveforms can be converted to single-bit or multi-bit logic waveforms using user-specified threshold criteria (See figure 4). Similarly, logic waveforms can be converted to analog waveforms (see figure 5) based on user-specified analog levels using either fixed-rate sampling or value transition sampling.
Figure 4: Analog-to-Digital Conversion
Figure 5: Digital-to-Analog Conversion
Data Reduction and ExportRedundant data points can be automatically removed based on a userspecified error tolerance. Data can then be exported and saved using several different formats such as tabulated, SPICE PWL, WDF, VCD, and M-file (MatLab).
DFT/FFTCustom WaveView supports FFT and DFT operations on time-domain data using various windowing functions (see figure 6). FFT/DFT will also automatically measure the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), total harmonic distortion (THD), signalto- noise and distortion ratio (SNDR), and effective number of bits (ENB).
Figure 6: FFT
Toolboxes and AssistantsCustom WaveView's toolboxes are provided to simplify specific measurements for a variety of common activities in waveform analysis. Assistants are provided to simplify common tasks that improve accuracy and customer productivity.
ADC Design ToolboxCustom WaveView's ADC toolbox (see figure 7) provides the necessary information when working with analogto- digital converters (ADCs). This toolbox, with a simple drag-and-drop of a waveform, can extract the common measurements required to proof ADC designs including:
Figure 7: ADC Toolbox
DC Static CharacteristicsHistogram, INL/DNL, min./max. values, and their standard deviations
AC Dynamic CharacteristicsUsing either Coherent or Window Sampling, the ADC toolbox measures noise parameters SNR, THD, SNDR, SFDR and ENOB and the frequencydomain power spectrum
Jitter ToolboxThe built-in Jitter-vs.-Time toolbox (see figure 8) can be used to analyze clock jitter between any logic and analog target signal with respect to a reference signal. The reference signal can be an analog or logic signal from simulation output, or an ideal signal defined using the width/period/delay parameters. The jitter can be measured against the rise and fall edges of a reference signal.
Figure 8: Jitter Toolbox Plot
Waveform Post-processing with the Equation BuilderPost-processing calculations using:
Custom WaveView hosts a powerful, scriptable mixed-signal equation language that can be used to construct any number of custom views of existing waveforms using multi-file, multi-trace mixed-signal data, or to extract stimuli from existing netlist and modify them for the successive simulation runs. The Equation Builder (see Figure 9) contains a large number of built-in mathematic, RF, logic, waveform and measurement functions that can be mixed-andmatched as needed to create custom measurements. These custom measurements can be saved as macros and replayed against any simulation results as needed. Additionally, the Equation Builder contains functions that can shift waveforms in time, making it easy to compare results that occurred at different simulated times. Waveforms can also be smoothed to reduce extra time points and exported to other simulations as stimuli leading to faster analog simulations downstream.
Figure 9: Equation Builder
Extensible and OpenCustom WaveView is open and extensible and can be controlled in either GUI or Batch mode with scripting. The GUI is also extensible, allowing CAD teams to craft custom measurements and provide them across their organizations through the regular menu system.
Optional regression Scripting with the Analysis Command EnvironmentThe Analysis Command Environment (ACE) is a Tcl-based extension language that provides near-complete control of Custom WaveView (via the ACE option). The ACE scripting environment contains hundreds of functions and can control the GUI, the waveform panels, the menu system or the measurement capabilities of either tool. Often used by CAD teams to extend the tools, the ACE scripting capability can also be used to perform Regression Scripting, allowing designers to make changes to their design and then replay a wide variety of analyses in batch mode, freeing the designer to work on other aspects of the design. Encapsulating these analyses also means sharing best design practices across an organization to improve quality and simplify the collection of data for design reviews.
Table 1: CustomExplorer Family Products and Features
Customizable GUIThe GUI is fully customizable, and bind keys can be assigned for any menu function or waveview control button action.
Supported File FormatsCustom WaveView provides support for over 45 different file formats, providing the highest support of simulation file formats in the industry.

Our Areas of Work
At Public Impact, we devise and advance visionary but practical ideas about how to improve K–12 education. We work with innovative districts to expand the impact of great teachers and leaders; advise policymakers and bring them together with implementers to determine practical solutions; advise foundations on investment and support possibilities in education; help charter management organizations with evaluating and expanding the supply of high-quality charters; and work with child advocacy nonprofits and other reform-oriented leaders on implementing cutting-edge ideas to improve K-12 policy and management. We do the research, deep thinking, and tool creation to help educators, policymakers, and parents make dramatic improvements for all students. We'd like to talk about working with you—contact us!
With excellent teachers, students make about an extra half-year of progress every year—closing gaps fast and leaping ahead. New school models let these teachers extend their reach, for more pay, directly and by leading and developing peers on the job.
Teachers & LeadersIn schools, nothing matters more than the quality of the teachers and leaders. Our work in this area focuses on policies and approaches to recruiting, selecting, evaluating, developing, compensating, and retaining high-performing teachers and leaders.
School FundingGetting the right amount of funding flowing to the highest impact uses: that is the goal of Public Impact's finance work. K-12 education has fallen far short of putting money where the need is and where the public benefits are strongest.

Skip to comments.Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant
Posted on 04/07/2014 10:31:09 AM PDT by mandaladon
APRIL 7--When friends and family members gathered recently at the White House for a private celebration of Michelle Obamas 50th birthday, one of the invited partygoers was a former paid FBI Mafia informant.
That same man attended Februarys state dinner in honor of French President Francois Hollande. He was seated with his girlfriend at a table adjacent to President Barack Obama, who is likely unaware that, according to federal agents, his guest once interacted with members of four of New York Citys five organized crime families. He even secretly taped some of those wiseguys using a briefcase that FBI technicians outfitted with a recording device.
The high-profile Obama supporter was also on the dais atop the U.S. Capitol steps last year when the president was sworn in for a second term. He was seated in front of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two rows behind Beyonce and Jay Z, and about 20 feet from Eric Holder, the countrys top law enforcement officer.
As head of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Holder leads an agency that once reported that Obamas inauguration guest also had La Cosa Nostra contacts beyond Gotham, and engaged in conversations with LCN members from other parts of the United States.
The former mob snitch has become a regular in the White House, where he has met with the 44th president in the East Room, the Roosevelt Room, and the Oval Office. He has also attended Obama Christmas parties, speeches, policy announcements, and even watched a Super Bowl with the First Family (an evening the man has called one of the highlights of my life). During these gatherings, he has mingled with cabinet members, top Obama aides, military leaders, business executives, and members of Congress.
(Excerpt) Read more at thesmokinggun.com ...
Bet you won't being seeing Ol Al out in public much any longer.
So much for 'Don't be snitchin'..........
How long? Will It. Take? Before it happens?
"The ex-informant has been one of Obamas most unwavering backers, a cheerleader who has nightly bludgeoned the presidents Republican opponents in televised broadsides. For his part, Obama has sought the mans counsel, embraced him publicly, and saluted his commitment to fight injustice and inequality. The president has even commented favorably on his friends svelte figure, the physical manifestation of a rehabilitation effort that coincided with Obamas ascension to the White House. This radical makeover has brought the man wealth, a daily TV show, bespoke suits, a luxury Upper West Side apartment, and a spot on best seller lists."........Is he a homo?
Resist we much!
There's enough plausible denial in that story for him
Our own little "American Hustle"-er. (good movie btw)
So, he's a snake and a rat. We knew that already.
This is going to hurt Big Al's street cred.
I wonder if he is going to lose his MSNBC gig over this revelation. Far lefties don't like snitches for the Feds.
Slimy eel is most slimy. Catch him if you can!
Far lefties dont like snitches for the Feds.
Used to be, but now they ARE the feds!
"No!! ...I've Never Snitched On A Brotha."
Anybody who has listened to Curtis Sliwa anytime in the last 25 years already knew about this. It has been common knowledge in the NYC area for a quarter century already. This was breaking news around 1991 during the Bush 41 administration.
we can only hope....
Which means bam bam has some connections as well. Why would the mob want bam bam in office.
Wait isn't he from Chicago???
Old news from the 80s. Not sure why the sudden drudge splash. Obama, Sharpton, and Holder are cooking something.
Resist we much...
Wait, Al not so sharp was actually "The Man..."
Bet you wont being seeing Ol Al out in public much any longer....Bet You will.
Nobody else thinks this is hilarious?
That was done fast and after it was finished that was it. Never passed off as a war on crime or anything like that. Just get the EC Mafia and open the field for the boys back home.
Somebody should get a head start on writing Rev Al's obituary about his death due to an accidental gun shot to the head.
I will bet that Bam Bam is connected to the "Outfit" who they busted back in the early 90s.
Or run over by a garbage truck-twice.
FBI Informant.
So how long before he becomes part of building foundation?
This Thread is not complete until we see a picture of his
What does this mean and who is going to off him?
JMO .I bet this a fabricated story..FALSE, JUST A BUNCH OF MADE UP LIES
Hussein people are good at telling far fetched stories and this sounds just like another one
Rev James Manning believes that Al Sharpton has "the Slims".
I wonder if Valarie Jarrett is connected?
Mar. 28, 1999 - Outfit front-boss Angelo J. "The Hook" LaPietra died from natural causes.
Dec. 23, 1999 - Ronald Jarrett, a mob lieutenant to John "Johnny Apes" Monteleone, of the South Side 26th Street crew, is shot while going to a funeral. It is the first mob hit in Chicago in seven years.
"Forever" would be good.....
Al Sharpton: *Rat Fink*.
What happened to `Snitches get stitches'?
Anyone could "off" him. Henry Bowman maybe (he needs to come out of retirement). Could be any number of people with greiviences. If they do it smartly, then the FBI will have so many suspects that they would have to create another federal branch interviewing the possible suspect pool.
Here you go:
Dullton ratted out the Mob? Problem solved. And, an open slot at MSLSD
Nice to know that the FBI protects its informants. /s
He's gotta be dieing of something. Dude looks like Steve Jobs did before he died.
No kidding...wonder how many Secret Service agents Barack and Eric are going to assign to Al's personal protection detail?
Obviously, the disclosure of this information is no accident. Did someone at Justice (or the White House) decide that Al's usefulness was over, or did folks at the FBI—who had the job of "handling" their CI for decades—decide a little payback was in order?
This is funny because my father was a cop in New york city in the 60s and 70s and he said Al when he was a kid would always hang out in the station. I tell people that and they don't believe me. Well here you go, he was working for the FBI, he liked to play cop.
And...I'd bet the good reverend Al's service started with himself falling in an FBI honey trap.
Later paid for the same information, with the threat that if exposed he'd claim it was racist over zealous pursuit.

Pike awaiting sewage relief legislation
June 12, 2013 —
Pike County officials are hoping that new legislation proposed in Harrisburg will divert "a lot of expense" for homeowners who would have to modify waterfront on-lot sewage systems under new PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) policy.
Pike Commissioners' Chair Rich Caridi said at the meeting on June 6 that area assembly and state senate members have proposed legislation to mitigate the new policy.
Caridi said that Pike Representatives Mike Peifer and Rosemary Brown, and Senator Lisa Baker have all joined in moving the legislation. Representative Sandra Major is also a co-sponsor.
In a May 2 memorandum to the assembly, bill sponsor Representative David Maloney explained that DEP proposed the new policy after losing a court challenge to its approval of a Lycoming County sewage plan.
Since that decision (Pine Creek Valley Watershed Assoc. v. DEP), Maloney wrote, "The department proposed new guidance for on-lot systems within High Quality (HQ) and Exceptional Value (EV) Watersheds."
Uncommon in most of the state, HQ and EV streams drain much of Wayne and most of Pike counties.
That guidance reportedly would prohibit septic systems closer than 150 feet from a body of water or 30 feet from a stream, and require underground septic systems to be surrounded by a barrier to prevent the effluent from traveling underground.
This would be required to prevent nitrates in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) from getting into the water stream or water body.
The 10 ppm standard dates from studies as early as 1945 that were incorporated in 1997 federal Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) water standards.
The EPA found that nitrate levels of less than 40 ppm can cause fatal cyanosis, oxygen deprivation, when ingested by infants less than six months of age.
Caridi denies that Pike County has any history of elevated nitrate levels in its public waters, other than a contested EPA sampling from Lake Wallenpaupack.
Maloney wrote, "It has since become clear through public input that the proposed [DEP] guidance would be impractical; leaving DEP with no approach with which to rely upon when approving development projects using on-lot systems in HQ and EV watersheds."
The bills, HB 1325 and SB 946, would amend the language of existing state clean water law, to provide that existing permitted systems design would satisfy the anti-degradation requirements of the Clean Streams Law.
As to the bill's progress, the assembly bill was awaiting action by the house appropriations committee on June 5.

August 7, 2013 —
The board of the Town of Delaware voted unanimously to adopt amendments to the town's zoning code at a special meeting on July 31. The most controversial change was that some parcels in the river corridor that were formerly listed as being in the Delaware River District (DR) are now listed as being in the Rural Use District (DU).
The DR lists eight special uses which can be developed on parcels with planning board approval, and the DU lists 40 special uses, including such uses as "Manufacturing and Industry" and "Natural Resources Processing."
Town officials said the riverfront properties that exist in the river corridor, which is referred to as an overlay district, would still be protected because any use approved by the planning board must be compatible with the River Management Plan (RMP), and the planning board would consider each project on a case-by-case basis.
It's not clear, however, whether the planning board would declare that any proposed manufacturing project, for instance, would be compatible with the RMP.
Some residents have complained that the change added unnecessary confusion to the zoning code, whereas previously the code was clear.
In performing a required review of the zoning amendments, the Sullivan County Division of Planning and Environmental Management agreed that the zoning changes could use more clarity, and in a letter to town officials suggested some revisions.
Acting county planning commissioner Jill Weyer wrote, "The board needs to include a section in the zoning text that clearly describes what the overlay seeks to accomplish. It needs to be more than a reference to the Upper Delaware River Management Plan, since that creates a complicated process for a landowner, developer, or planning board member and therefore more potential for multiple interpretations and more business for the Zoning Board of Appeals."
Another change in the zoning would make insurance offices, print shops, professional offices and real estate offices principal permitted uses in the RU rather than special uses, which means that those uses could be established without oversight from the planning board.
Weyer suggested that those uses remain special uses so the planning board could retain control over some aspects of the projects. She wrote, "This means working with an applicant to ensure landscaping around parking areas, locations of signs and lighting are developed in a way that is harmonious with existing uses." A couple of other suggestions were also included.
A town board may ignore the advice of the county planning department with the vote of a supermajority, and in this case the five-member board voted unanimously to ignore the suggestions of the county.
At the town meeting, supervisor Ed Sykes read the resolution adopting the zoning, which said in part, "the town board hereby determines to override the recommendations made by the Sullivan County Division of Planning, for the reasons that... the town board does not agree with the first and second recommendations and finds that there is sufficient clarity and consistency in the amendments so as to insure compliance with the Upper Delaware River Management Plan." He also said that the amendments were developed with input from the Upper Delaware Council and the National Park Service.
This is at least the second time in recent months that a town board has chosen to override the county planning department regarding a 239 review. In February, the town of Callicoon was considering the adoption of its comprehensive plan, which included language that many residents said invited gas drilling into the town. Weyer suggested modifications to the language specifically regarding gas drilling, and the board voted unanimously not to accept those suggestions.

Despite a less than rosy review, the state education department says they are pleased with the news, knowing it means they still have a chance at finally securing a big chunk of grant money.
"Some people just thought we were going to lose the money. We think we've made some really good progress. They want to see how far it goes from here. Fair enough," said DOE Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi
In an email to Governor Neil Abercrombie on Friday, the US DOE said it's decided to extend Hawaii's "High-Risk Status" over the Race to the Top Grant
They say, based on that extensive four day review in March Hawaii is: "...moving in the right direction... but has not yet demonstrated it has made the substantial progress necessary to remove it from high-risk status.
Still, Matayoshi called it a positive step. "It's a high bar. We've always known it's a high bar, but we're getting up there in the scale and I think that's a good thing."
US DOE also decided to take Hawaii off what's called "cost reimbursement status."
That means, the state can directly tap into grant dollars, instead of spending state money first.
But, that cloud, that drawn out battle over a new teacher's contract, still threatens to derail grant efforts.
Earlier this week, leaders for the teacher's union approved a second ratification vote on the same contract rejected back in January.
And today, for the third time in a week, the HSTA canceled contract negotiations with the state.
"You'll have to ask them what's up on what they're doing because what they are doing is not clear to me," said Governor Neil Abercrombie.
HTSA President sent KITV an email late Friday saying: "We are convinced that we will do a better job explaining the contract in our reconsideration informational meetings."
The first of 41 of those informational meetings starts Monday.
As for the Race to the Top Grant, the US DOE will conduct another review in about five to six months to re-evaluate Hawaii's high-risk status.

Dordt College News
U.S. News & World Report recognizes Dordt College for academic excellence
September 12, 2012
For the third year in a row, Dordt College is the top-ranked regional college in Iowa, according to U.S. News & World Report. Dordt ranks 6th among top tier colleges in the Midwest on the magazine's 2013 Best Regional Colleges list.
Dordt College President Dr. Erik Hoekstra sees the ranking as a validation of the good work Dordt College students and employees continue to do.
"It's good to have external confirmation of our work in areas that we think are important and that matter to others," Hoekstra said. "But a Dordt education is about much more than the measurements and data used to analyze and create college rankings; Dordt is about helping students learn and develop as faithful disciples of Christ in each and every part of life."
As in previous years, U.S. News & World Report calculated rankings by looking at a range of factors, including Dordt's high academic success rate, graduation and retention rates, and alumni satisfaction as evidenced by the high percentage of alumni giving to the college.
Dordt College has enjoyed steady enrollment in recent years and has seen an increase in its scholarships and endowments. More than $11 million was raised for new scholarships in the recent Vision 2020 fund-raising campaign.
Dordt College has been ranked on the U.S. News & World Report survey for 21 years and recently has been consistently in the top 10 in its category. The Midwest Regional Colleges list includes 97 ranked colleges in 12 states from Kansas to Ohio.
Dordt has also been recognized as a top regional college by Forbes.com, The Princeton Review, and Washington Monthly. The 2013 America's Best Colleges special issue is available on newsstands Sept. 18, and ranking information is available on the U.S. News & World Report website at www.usnews.com.

Death by Chocolate
The events of the past couple weeks have obviously left me thinking quite a bit about the idea of mortality. Not my own, of course, as I don't ever plan on dying. But rather the idea of mortality in a philosophical sense. There are so many different ways that one can shuffle off this mortal coil and it's a topic we're so obsessed with but, at the same time, we know next to nothing about it.
Some people make a grand exit, whether it be Reagan's processional farewell, Michael's tear-strewn send-off or Ted Williams' bizarre, cryogenically frozen head. And some people just sneak away. Maybe there's a small obituary, maybe even a large one if they were well-known, but the exit itself is quiet and unassuming.
However, sometimes the end is simultaneously quick and disturbingly bizarre. A case in point is Vincent Smith, Jr. and his recent cocoa related misadventures. I mean, we expect strange things out of New Jersey but dying in a vat of chocolate?
So, as we head into the All-Star break and you start to realize that your team is either on life support or has already been declared DOA (I'm looking at you, Nats' fans), remember that it could be worse. At least they didn't die in a huge vat of chocolate.

I'm surprised Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton didn't fly out to Jersey for some on-camera face-time and to turn this poor guy's mishap into a racial thing. Guess they were too busy hamming it up during MJ's death. ;^)
Haha, that's great! My Padres just hit the cellar for the first time all season, and I have a feeling that we're be hanging around here for a while. But true, at least they didn't die by chocolate🙂
I think the Yankees are gonna be ok, unless whats left of there pitching staff deiced to take a chocolate factory tour, I think CC would be all for that🙂, I'm just kiddin
When my time is up, I'll take a vat of chocolate any day. What a way to go. Yum….then….nothingness.
I'm with Jane on this one. That has got to be the most delicious death ever. I can't think of a tastier way to die.
I could… y'know, like dying in Jessica Biel's arms.
…or even better, Jessica Biel's chocolate coated arms…among other things. :^)
… great, thanks a lot, Jonestein… not only am I salivating from watching this Cards/Brewers game at work, but now I gotta suppress my desires until I get back to the privacy of my home. Jeesh. And it's only Thursday…
I would take death by chocolate over death by a billion broken-bat singles any day. It's much, much faster.
Okay – this is were I admit – I starred in a play called "Death By Chocolate". I played a "recovered" street-walker.
Ooompa Loompa, gobble-dee-goo, life isn't fair, it's sad but it's true…
Allen, how's Jeff coping with the Erin Andrews incident? Is his love strong enough to withstand a hideous disfigurement? I'm not so sure.
What a bizarre death! Thanks for the link to that interesting story, I've never heard of anything like it.
I'm hanging in there, Prince. I'm hanging in there. Thanks for the concern. I was close to plunging into some chocolate myself when I first heard the news.
Spread the word about Google and their business practices. Apparently, my ad stopped running because someone unilaterally decided, based on some obscure crud, to stop running it. No specific reason was given. I got a little testy on the phone. Just a little.
Considering the number of porn ads they run, maybe my innocent baseball website ain't racy enough for them and my money's not enough to inspire them to do some business with me. I've moved onto Bing to see how that goes and will move along to other avenues to promote my site. Unbelievable.
Welcome to the world of "the MAN could give a s***". Whether it's Amazon or Google or iTunes… we're just small fish that keep comin' back for more. You'll do fine without 'em, Prince. Holla if you need some guidance.

Camping Safety and Etiquette
Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, make sure your trip is safe.
- Keep watch on children! You are responsible for the safety of your children. Make sure you know where your kids are and what they are doing.
- Be aware of the natural surroundings. There may be plants with thorns or stickers.
- You are a visitor in wildlife's home. Keep a safe distance from wild animals. Although they may look cute, they are wild and can carry diseases.
- NEVER FEED THE WILDLIFE! Feeding wildlife can encourage bad behavior by animals and is against park regulations.
- Be careful with fire. Never leave a fire unattended and be sure your campfire is out when you break camp.
- Axes, knives and saws are useful tools, but be sure you know how to properly use them.
Proper behavior makes it more fun for everyone so be a good camper.
- Think about your fellow campers. Keep noise levels down, especially at night.
- Leave the area clean. Pick up your trash and make sure to check the area for items you may have forgotten.
- Keep food out of the reach of animals. Put food items away after use. Raccoons and other animals will take advantage of your carelessness.
- Dispose of wastewater properly. Dumping gray water can pollute waterways and attract unwanted pests.
- Camp in designated campsites. Use the tent pad if provided and keep vehicles on the pavement.
- Leave your campsite cleaner than you found it.
The Seven C's of Camping
- Care - We will care how we camp by being considerate of others.
- Caution - We will use caution in the use of camping equipment both on the road and at the campsite. We will handle fire and flammable fuels so as not to endanger others or ourselves. We will improve our camping skills, knowing the right way is the safest way.
- Courtesy - We will practice politeness because it enhances the camping experience. We will respect the privacy of others, control our children and leash our dogs.
- Cleanliness - We will be clean in our camping habits and teach our children the importance of cleanliness. We will pick up litter no matter who left it and be proud of the campsites we leave behind.
- Cooperation - We will observe the letter and sprit of camping regulations and rules established to protect our enjoyment of the outdoors. We will work cooperatively with others to make it better for everyone.
- Conservation - We will protect the environment in which we enjoy camping and help those whose job it is to guard and wisely manage our country's natural resources. We will endeavor to leave a better outdoors for those who follow us.
- Common Sense - We will apply common sense to every situation, knowing that reason, understanding and humor make camping better for ourselves and others.

…And Lafayette insists that he's not Whoopi in "Ghost" while playing her.
It would be nice to have recaps from someone who actually likes the show.
Is it not an incoherent trainwreck for those who consider it good?
Wonderful recap! I love your screen caps. Thank you, J. -Jo
is anyone else kind of upset that the one time we finally see penis in this show, and it's NOT Alcide or Jason, but just some random naked victim who's about to be eaten to death?
I actually liked that upbeat song they played at the end…
I don't get this new trend of gays kissing, on television of in real life. we used to just be gay and that was enough. now we have to shove it down everyones throats and make sure they all know we're gay. how was this scene enhanced seeing these two dudes kissing? exactly.
enough is enough.
@Jaw: I don't the True Blood audience is the type that'd mind. Maybe I'm wrong though?
Fer gawd's sake. If you're going to give us a screen cap of the naked man on the table and they actually showed penis on the show, couldn't you grab a screen cap that showed the penis?????
Down with kissing! lol
the song at the end was a Tears for Fears song, "everybody wants to rule the world"
To be honest, the only thing I care about this epiosde was that spunky lil' vamp techie Molly. She'd better not be killed off next episode.
@Jaw: The fuc- are you talking about? This is the same show that gave viewers an eye-full of Sookie and Bill/Eric riding each other like it was the end of the world.
Shove your self-hatred right back up your ass and stop letting it fly out of your mouth.
Straight people kiss on this show, straight people have full sex scenes on this show. The best gays get is some kissing(from couples that aren't even hot) and a faux sex scene that ended way too soon(and was the only hot sex scene on the show at that).
You're nuts.
"I ain't gmail for dead bitches!" lol Omg, I Love me some Lafayette, I am so glad he's back to his old fabulous self. I have to say this season wasn't as bad as I originally thought, I sorta see why they had so many plots for the season 5 of True Blood, the characters story lines are all beginning to intertwine and connect with one another as if it was all one big domino effect. On another note, anyone else believe Lilith (or Salome) is a Half Fae-Half Vampire hybrid? in a strange way her blood had a similar affect on Bill and everyone else like Claudine did with Eric in the previous season. Just a hunch for those who are watching the new season.
@Keith: Sadly….

Dining hall food at colleges across America can be hit or miss. Though, some schools really excel at delivering food to their students.
The Daily Meal recently released their list of the 52 best colleges for food in America.
Schools were ranked along a rubric that included whether the food was healthy, if there were special food-related events to engage students, if the food was purchased locally, if the dining program was sustainable, if the service was exceptional and if there was an "X factor" that made their jaws drop.
Some large colleges that had health code violations or a lack of variety weren't even considered for the list.
We took the time to narrow the list down to the 16 New England colleges that made the cut. Click to learn more…
16) Dartmouth College (No. 52 on the Daily Meal's list)
14) Roger Williams (46)
13) Bates College (41)
12) St Anselm (40)
11) Colby College (39)
10) College of the Atlantic (36)

Disclaimer: If you like food (and who doesn't?), the new Travel Channel show "Chow Masters" is bound to have a compelling effect on you.
It's going to, well, make you want to chow down.
"That's what we're trying do," co-host Frank Coraci told me, laughing, in a recent interview. "We want to showcase other chefs, get you hungry for their food and have a good time along the way while we're doing it."
Coraci certainly knows eye for talent. After all, he's the director of several hit comedies, including "The Waterboy," "Click," "Zookeeper" and "Here Comes the Boom." He also directed "The Wedding Singer," starring his frequent collaborator, Adam Sandler, who starred opposite Drew Barrymore. Later this month, the director's latest comedy, "Blended," hits theaters reuniting the trio that made "The Wedding Singer" a smash hit in 1998.
In the meantime, though, "Chow Masters" each week finds three "off the map" food places in different parts of the U.S. Judged on creativity and taste, the winner is awarded $10,000 and a "Golden Skillet Award." Chowing down with Coraci is Sam DeMarco, aka famed New York City chef Sammy D.
The key to "Chow Masters" is that they're judging food that everyone can relate to. Tuesday night's episode travels to Chicago to judge three very unique Windy City hot dogs.
"Basically the focus of the series is 'comfort food,' and the reason for that is, Sammy -- who's literally been my best friend since we were 7 years old -- is known as 'the King of Comfort Food,'" Coraci explained. "Initially the pilot was a burger show, but we thought that was a little limiting, so then the makers said, 'How about doing comfort food in general, because it's such of an American thing,' and that elevated it, because more people are foodies now. They have more sophisticated tastes, but they still like the fun stuff."
The premiere episode of "Chow Masters" focused on three eye-opening breakfast sandwiches in New York City -- one of them stacked up to 6-inches high. Since then, Coraci and Sammy D. have eaten barbecue sandwiches in Nashville, Tenn., mac and cheese in San Francisco, and tacos in Austin, Texas.
For Tuesday night's "Windy City Hot Dogs" episode, Coraci said to expect much, much more than your basic frankfurter.
"They're really more like encased meat sausages. We call them hot dogs, but there's a bit of both," Coraci explained. "There's a Kobi hot dog, a venison hot dog and a Polish sausage -- there's some great stuff. Chicago is a great food city, and the chefs there have really big personalities, so it's a lot of fun."
The bonus for viewers of "Chow Masters" is that, because Coraci is a well-known in Hollywood and Sammy D. is big in the chef world, some famous faces are bound to pop up on the show.
"We have lots of great cameos lined up, from chefs who know Sammy D. to -- well I can't say who, but some great Hollywood talent that shows up," Coraci said. "The nice thing is, a lot of people really love food shows and like appearing on them. Everybody likes to eat. That's the one common denominator."
The uncommon denominator with "Chow Masters" and other food shows, Coraci said, is "Chow Masters" doesn't take itself too seriously. After all, Coraci is a comedy filmmaker, and he's thrilled his sense of humor is rubbing off on the crew producing the series.
"It's easy for me to suggest stuff when people are so receptive," Coraci said. "So I try to steer things a little bit to comedy side without stepping on anybody's toes. Usually if I have an idea they embrace it. I think what's different about our show than the other food shows is the humor. The other shows have a little bit of humor, but we want to have fun with ours. They won't let me burp or fart, though. No fart jokes."
Getting stuffed
Viewers of "Chow Masters" will discover that being a judge in a show like "Chow Masters" takes a big appetite, since Coraci and Sammy D. eat at the three establishments in one day. That's quite a bit of food, considering the nature of television, where not everything is captured in one take.
"Usually when we're walking to the car after third place and look totally stuffed, we are," Coraci said, laughing. "We do many more takes than you see. When we do slow-motion shots, which has become sort of our signature shot, that one shot within itself. We wanted to do fun stuff with the show to make it more visual, but the penalty for that is that we have to eat a lot more."
Coraci said if viewers notice his waistline expanding over the course of the season, it's definitely not the work of the visual effects department.
"I've definitely gained weight from the beginning of the show to the end, but now I'm in training to lose it all again," Coraci enthused.
Since Coraci is planning for more seasons of the show, he'll be happy to put the weight on again. This season's "Chow Masters" runs 13 episodes and wraps up with an episode in Miami July 8, then it will be back to the chopping board.

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica. I am in my 32nd week of pregnancy with my first child, a boy, due 7/13/07.
I began leaking colostrum on 4/1. The first week or so was fine. After that, I began noticing blood in my nursing pads only on my left side. When I expressed the colostrum after my shower the next day, a small amount of blood mixed with colostrum (kind of a rust stained color) came out of one duct, but all the rest were clear or milky.
I told my doctor at my last visit (nearly 2 weeks ago). He did a culture, and it came back fine. He called today to see if it is still happening and it is, but now there is more blood than colostrum (darker color) than was before in that one duct. He said a colleague of his recommended I have a galactogram. It is like a ductography where they inject contrast fluid into the bad duct and then do a mammogram.
He is calling me back when he has more information (later today), but in the meantime I am freaking out! Injecting something into my breast doesn't sound comfortable (not that I care), but it also doesn't sound safe for a lactating mother-to-be. What is this going to do to my colostrum? Could it hurt my baby? Not to mention - who the heck has a mammogram while they're pregnant?? Am I overreacting? Has anyone else had this experience?
I am desperate to find someone who has "been there". Looking for answers and comfort...thanks ladies

Power to the people?
Waking to howling winds snapped me into reality and the next few days are a blur. I made my way to gal pal Ellany Gable and her studio (www.honeyhillpottery.com) in Callicoon, where she had revved up a generator and hung out a shingle for the downtrodden, powerless folks like me. Normally, Honey Hill is "just down the road a piece" but that day I had to snake my way through the hills and was turned away by more than a few roadblocks, downed trees and power lines sparking on the side of the road. I was beginning to freak out a bit, scanning the horizon and observing the damage, but Dharma (the wonder dog) kept me grounded, and the cozy fire waiting for us soothed my frayed nerves. Communications down, I settled in for the duration, unsuspecting that eight days later... I'd still be in the dark.
By mid-week I was frantically wondering whether my power had been restored, and set off through the war zone (I mean Obernberg) two more times before giving in, thrilled that Callicoon's power had flickered on, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the news, which (as it turned out) wasn't a great idea. The images were scary, although they did make me realize how lucky we were to have heat, coffee and a satellite signal high atop Honey Hill. Still, I was cranky and not very good company, so once again, I took off in search of power. Good friends are hard to come by and I thought it sensible to make myself scarce for a night, rather than be tossed out on my ear. So, I made my way back to G.A. to meet up with yet another good friend (thank you J.W.!) and the portable generator that he had scored for me in Liberty, NY.
We huffed and puffed, running miles of extension cords from the genny to lights and (fingers crossed) the magical line connecting me to entertainment and information, but alas, no such luck. Shouting at each other over the roar of the gas-powered engine, we ruefully acknowledged that running water, heat, TV and a phone were (sadly) still out of reach, so I piled under a mountain of blankets (forcing the dog to snuggle) and bid adieu to Jamie, bound and determined to rough it. Teeth chattering, I gulped a few (I mean eleven) sleeping pills and was blissfully unconscious by eight. Rudely awakened by hail hitting the roof, I shivered and rose, peering out the window only to observe (with horror) snow beginning to fall. "Oh Em Gee," I howled, "Why on earth am I being such a martyr?" Gathering my (now frozen) milk, donuts, oatmeal and toiletries, I warmed up the truck (my only source of heat) and zoomed off in search of adventure.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Feb. 28, 2013) – The University of Maryland Eastern Shore will remain an institution without intercollegiate football for the near future, President Juliette B. Bell announced today.
After consulting with her cabinet, Bell accepted recommendations by a task force she appointed to evaluate an independent consultant's study of the pros and cons of reinstating football.
"The university is not currently in position, with either human or fiscal resources, to reinstate football at this time," the task force report concludes.
While fielding a Division I football team would be too costly right now, the topic could be revisited in five years, the report also notes.
The task force headed by Dr. Earl S. Richardson, a UMES graduate and retired president of Morgan State University, recommends the university focus on:
When the university had a football team, it regularly produced athletes who went on to play professionally in the 1950s and 1960s. UMES last played football in 1979, when it had fewer than 1,000 students.
Eleven of UMES' peer institutions in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference compete against such schools as the University of Delaware, James Madison University and Towson University.
"I know some of our alumni, especially those who were here when the university fielded a football team, may be disappointed," Dr. Bell said. "However, I know that they share my respect for the unforgettable football legacy of this institution."
"The task force is to be commended for doing a thorough job of analyzing the consultant's report and showing us how those facts fit into our current environment," Bell said. "I concur with its conclusions."
Bell noted her senior advisers were unanimous in their support of the task force's recommendation.
Bell's predecessor, interim President Mortimer Neufville, initiated the exploration of restarting intercollegiate football after determining the topic was worth revisiting after some three decades.
The University System of Maryland's Board of Regents last fall adopted a policy that requires intercollegiate athletic program expenditures to be covered by intercollegiate athletic revenue. Some of USM's public colleges, including UMES, have previously supplemented athletics' budgets with funding from other sources.
"We live in challenging economic times," Bell said. "We must continue to focus the university's limited resources on its core mission of educating students."
In his concluding statement, Richardson said "with increased human and fiscal resources, and a strengthening of the infrastructure, the task force believes the university's athletic program can be enhanced, thereby charting a new course in the university's athletic legacy."

The title looks like something you'd find in the classified section of the Sunday paper. Prices for the services are likely somewhat different, however, for baseball standards, there are still some decent, cheap options on the market.
After all of the trades and free agent signings for the Phillies this offseason, there are still a few holes. Money is now tight for Ruben Amaro and his posse, but by all accounts, the now-infamous $140 million figure is a hard cap for the team. Raises will be given to Joe Blanton and Shane Victorino, among others, through arbitration, so the Phillies will be short of the $140M plateau with a few positions to fill.
Blanton looks to receive about $7 million or so in arb, and Victorino, if his number were to double, would be owed about $6.5 million. Carlos Ruiz, J.A. Happ, Ben Francisco, and a few other Phils' need to be re-signed as well. Danys Baez was given a two-year contract, with the final number of $5.25 million coming out earlier today. After all is said and done, the Phillies will have about $3-5 million to spend on a reliever and/or starting pitcher.
Here is who remains on the open market that the Phillies could possibly entice:
Relief Pitchers: John Smoltz, DJ Carrasco, Clay Condrey, Scott Eyre (L), Ron Mahay (L), Mike MacDougal, Miguiel Batista, Mark Hendrickson.
-Smoltz looks to be the most expensive of the group. However, if he wants to win, he could take a cheap contract. I'm still not sure why the Phillies wouldn't choose Condrey over Durbin for the price, but it appears Durbin will be back. Condrey could still come back at about $1 million, and that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Eyre might be out of the price range, as he made $2 million last season. Mahay would fit well as another lefty out of the pen. He struggled last season as well, but has a decent track record. Hendrickson was a starter/reliever, but was better out of the bullpen. The former pick of the Philadelphia 76ers could be a nice long man/sport starter. Batista has been on the Phillies radar for some time, but he is a shell of his former self. MacDougal has also been on the Phillies radar.
Starting Pitchers: Mark Mulder, Ben Sheets, Noah Lowry, Rich Hill
-Sheets sticks out like a sore thumb here, as he is seeking well in excess of what the Phillies can afford. But will he stick to that high amount? Let's see how desperate he becomes as the season draws closer. Mulder and Lowry are obvious injury risks, but could be low-risk, decent-reward guys should they get back in shape. And with the $3 million or so the Phillies have to work with, it's about finding guys like that. Rich Hill is interesting. He had a great 2007 season, got hurt in 2008, but pitched OK while healthy, and then absolutely bombed last year. Reclamation project? Could be. Smoltz is also a possible starter.
26 Comments
I wouldn't mind seeing Hill come here. Inexpensive option, could be the lefty to replace Moyer if he starts off on the right foot and seeks advice (should Moyer need to be replaced).
I wouldn't expect the Phils to do much beyond sigining one more reliever. If the Phils are able to get one of the high risk starters to sign a cheap one year deal maybe you do that and cross your fingers that Moyer, Kendrick, Bastardo, Escalona, & Mathieson can handle the relief role with Moyer/Kendrick ready to step in as 5th starter if one of the remaining injury risks were to explode.
I'd love to see Sheets come in, but seems like the Phils will have to wait and see if a few of the prices drop. Was thinking that Wang might be a possible pickup on the cheap since he's hurt and coming off a bad year.
After a closer, I'm not a fan of spending much on the bullpen. Year to year, they are an inconsistent bunch, completely unpredictable (if they were that good, they'd either be closing or starting). I think we stick with what we have, go with one of the high risk starters who can also relieve as insurance (Hendrickson, any of the starters listed above), then fill out the rest with the young guys and cheap casts offs, see how they pan out.
Option A for me would definitely be Smoltz – the only problem is, unless you are going to make him the 5th starter, what kind of role can you give him that is meaty enough to stoke his competative juices? I don't think he's gonna be happy as a 7th inning guy.
I would love to see Smoltz in Philly and a little disappointed to see they only offered Eyre a minor league deal… injury or not he deserves more for his contributions the last two years.
Sheets is asking way too much. I'll agree the Phils need another option at fifth starter with the uncertainty of Moyer, but Sheets is asking way too much, and I doubt that Mulder or Smoltz will be in the Phils' price range. The bullpen is probably set now with Baez, with Bastardo, Escalona or that rule five pick or maybe Mathieson to fill the other spots. Eyre, coming off arm surgery, will only be an option if he signs a split minor/major league contract with incentives. Same with Condrey. Same with another starter.
Right now, the team will be concerned mostly with arbitration numbers. I don't look for any more real activity until a few spring training games have been played, and only then if some "counted on" players struggle. The front office will want to keep some money around–if there's any left after paying arbitration dollars–in case a July 31 deadline deal is needed.
Good write up Pat.
Also saw this on Zolecki's page.
Bedard …..he isn't signed
I am trying to figure out why Smoltz would be a better option that Moyer? If Moyer isnt good enough, how is Smoltz? His ERA with the Red Sox was 8.33 (thats almost DOUBLED Moyer) and 4.26 with the Cards, however, if you look at Smoltz game by game stats, I dont see any improvement at all. I will not argue at all that Smoltz is without a doubt a future HOF'er, and Moyer probably will not be, but we should be concerned about picking up "Future HOF'ers" if they are pretty much washed up. Smoltz looked like a new man in his first two starts with the Cards, but then after than, he didnt look any better than Moyer at all. In 2009, I cant find any start on either the Red Sox or the Card where he went passed 6 innings. not even 6.1 innings. in the short time in 2008 he pitched passed 6 innings once. Smoltz seems to average about 4.2 IP per start, with a max of 6 IP in 09, and mostly 4-5 IP. So if Moyer averages about 4 runs a game (slightly below 5 per 9 IP) and pitches an average of about 6 IP, and Smoltz averages about 4 runs per game, and he pitches an average of 5 IP per game, Im not sure how he is an "upgrade". To me he puts more pressure on the bullpen, which was already one of the weakest links (the Bench was the weakest link on the team) from 09, and thats sad, because Moyer put enough pressure on the BullPen.
That shoould be "we should NOT be concerned about picking up "Future HOF'ers"
Arredondo had Tommy John surgery, and is expected to miss the 2010 season. Cross him off your post-holiday shopping list.
Rich Hill would be a nice pick up.I always liked Ron Villone for that
Lefty coming out of the BP.
Livan Hernandez would be a cheap back up for the 5th starter.
Didn't realize Arredondo would be out the entire season.
What about Pinero. GB pitchers are music to my ears with the dimensions of our ball park.
Piniero wants way to much. Last I read, he was trying for Randy Wolf type numbers, which were a little high even for Randy Wolf.
Someone will sign Livan Hernandez, but I hope it isn't the Phils. He eats innings, yes, but he's not doing it as much as he used to, and those innings he eats don't go down very well considering the opposition runs they contain.
Wang will have almost any offer matched by the Yankees. Mulder is still too high of an injury risk. Smoltz is probably done.
I'm thinking the year starts with Kyle Kendrick at number five until Moyer recovers fully from surgery, or until mid July, when some AAA pitcher will come up or a trade will be made.

Pingback: Philadelphia Phillies sign Danys Baez to 2 year contract | MLB Secrets | Philadelphia Phillies MLB Announcer
Seriously, WHY is no one looking at Kiko Calero?
I think DJ Carrasco would be a perfect fit. Good reliever the last 2 years who could also start….and cheap. Only made 440K last year.
Completely agree. Phils should try and get Kiko. They could then have Romero (when back), Bastardo, Madson, Kiko, Baez, Durbin, and Lidge in the BP. Not too shabby there. I would not be upset with a 2 year deal for Kikio, since it seems like Amaro likes giving those out. Would have liked to have Park again, tho.
Plus, if all goes well near the middle-end of this year and DEF. next year, we can add in Mathieson and Aumount to the BP and the following (2012) have one of them or Madson as the closer.
Of the choices that are out there…leave them. We have a solid starting 4 of Halladay, Hamels, Blanton and Happ. The 5th starters role can and should be filled from within the organization (Moyer, Kendrick, Bastardo, Mathieson, etc.) and the last I heard, the bullpen had 5 of the 7 spots already filled with Baez, Durbin, Romero, Madson, Lidge and the other two should also be filled from within. What I would rather do with the remaining budget is have Amaro sign J.Gomes and R.Church for the bench. I like the Gload signing and have also liked G.Dobbs but there is not much else on the bench…Schneider, Castro & Francisco? Gomes will give them a legit RH bat off the bench that had 20 HR's last year and who can also give Ibanez the occasional day off and. Church is a solid LH bat off the bench who can also play the field, batted in the .270's and had 40 rbi's. I also think it will be hard to sign Werth after this year and both Gomes (age 29) and Church (31) will give us options should Werth leave.
I would really like to see them get Hill or Hendrickson. As lefties, they could start or maybe be the type of guy who can come out of the pen and be a specialist to get left-handed hitters out. They both at times have shown flashes of greatness, and the Phils have proven that they know how to get players to max their potential. I just like the versatility that those 2 bring to the table as a left hander who can start or come out of the pen.
I dont care who they get as long as Moyer is forced to retire! He is done please, please, please Phils dont give him a chance to come back.
To Tony: I agree with you. Kiko Calero is an excellent choice for bullpen help. His ERA is very low and he is very consistent. For whatever reason he is falling beneath the radar screen.
i've always liked Ronnie belliard clutch hitter, gritty, why aren't the phillies interested in him? I also think that moyer is done also, He's 48 yrs old and coming off 3 surgeries. Just realease him its a no brainer.

Fredrik Ramm (1892-1943)
Ramm participated as a journalist on the airship Norge in 1926.
Fredrik Ramm was born in Kristiania (Oslo). He became a journalist in the newspaper Tidens Tegn and went to Svalbard on the Ægir in 1924 to cover Roald Amundsen's attempt to fly with two Dornier Wal aircraft to the North Pole. The expedition was postponed until 1925, but Ramm could still report from Svalbard.
In 1926 he participated on the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile Transpolar flight and sat on the way writing reports on his typewriter. The reports were sent by telegraphy from the airship. After the expedition he wrote a chapter in Amundsen's book of the flight.
In 1928 he became news editor in the newspaper Morgenbladet. He participated in the Oxford Group, a world-wide Christian movement. In September 1941 he and the Morgenbladet editor Olaf Gjerløw were sentenced by the Germans to a so-called Zuchthaus for life (later changed to ten years). He was sent to Hamburg where he got ill, and was allowed to return home, but he died on the way back.
He is especially known for the article "En skitten strøm flyter over landet" (A dirty current flows over the country) (October 28, 1931), an attack on the radical intellectual writers such as Sigurd Hoel.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

Chrysamine G (CG) is a carboxylic acid analogue of Congo red, a histologic dye which stains amyloid. CG binds to the b-amyloid protein of Alzheimer''s disease (AD) in vitro and partitions into the brain of normal mice. The binding of CG is correlated with numbers of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. CG displays both high (Kd = 200 nM; Bmax = 1.13 moles per mole of Ab40) and low (Kd = 38.77 mM; Bmax = 23.10 moles per mole of Ab40) affinity binding sites for b-amyloid (Ab) fibrils. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and serve as an useful probe for detecting senile plaques (Ab aggregate). In addition, CG can be used to stain cerebrovascular amyloid in tissue sections.

My little Penga (25 weeker, now 39 week gestational (corrected) - still in ICN) suddenly had series of brady last Sunday. Two of them were really bad -it took several nurses to stabilize Penga. Medication change, water retention, and immunization shots are possible cause...... We were 4 days away from her coming home.
Now she is in stable condition but she is back on nasal cannula (which she hates - Penga cried really hard when cannula was put on her). She won't be able to come home for another 10 days or so.
Plus she gets tired so easily with BF. Penga had finally started nursing both breasts for 20-25 minutes total without much trouble, but today she managed to BF only one breast before falling asleep, looking so tired. She desat after BF once and other time she resisted my breast (I gave her bottle with little BM and after that she nursed OK, though.)
It just hit me. She is still so fragile. When things like this happen, BF becomes such a sensitive issue. I want our nursing to be warm relaxing relationship but I am constatly watching her color & behavior and monitor to make sure she is not over-tired. It is stressful.
We are still extremely grateful that Penga has not had any other major medical complication so far. We have spent more than 3 months in the NICU and ICN, so just 10 more days should be short. But it is very hard. I guess I am running out of gas and anxiety from seeing Penga suffer is very high.
Just needed to get this out.....I guess I just need lots of hugs

Hello mamas. My baby was born at 27 weeks 4 days. She is now 9 months old and doing great. She is growing and happy and right on track with her corrected age. We just started giving her a little solids this week.
At her well baby visit they did the finger prick for iron. 7.7!! So low. I feel horrible about it. Now I know preemies don't get their iron in the last trimester. But I feel like I failed her. I was so proud to overcome so many obstacles and have her ebf since she came home from the nicu. Now I feel almost ashamed because despite all my talk of breast milk having all she needs, I was wrong.
She's now on a rx iron supplement and now I get to worry about constipation and wonder how this very low iron is affecting her.
Am I doing the right thing? She just wasn't ready for solids until now. I waited for her to sit up by herself and loose the tongue thrust even though the pedi told me to start 3months ago which was only 3months corrected age.
Anyone have any support or advice? Thanks

While I would disagree that the film is "totally unique" (there certainly are many "de ja vu" moments), it certainly is an amazing example of a spiritual police / gangster drama, full of surprising, pleasant subtleties, a pair of extremely complex and unusual leading characters, amazing form (the cinematography was stunning, imho) and a minimalist, but fine score by Wojciech Kilar and, to top it all, probably the best car chase in recent American cinema (those who have seen the film will surely know what I mean) which, altogether, made my decision to include it on my TOP 20 list of the year. This sujet definitely stood in the rain within the last few years and this finally was an effort which, to me, was easy to praise.

A cornerback in today's NFL must be able to limit targets, limit receptions and keep scores to a minimum. Being a cover corner is the most important aspect to the position—and that's why coverage skills received the largest share of our B/R NFL 1,000 grade for 2012 cornerbacks.
As with all the positions in this year's position-by-position rankings, we are scoring criteria at different weights but always adding up to a maximum of 100. Cornerbacks can receive up to 70 points for coverage, 15 for run defense and 15 for tackling.
Our scouting team reviewed film from the 2012 season of more than 100 cornerbacks to come up with the top 100. The rankings are based on the cornerbacks' 2012 performance, with no credit received for career achievements or potential.
Players who played fewer than 200 snaps at cornerback didn't qualify for the rankings. Among them: Darrelle Revis (more on him in the next slide).
In the case of a tie, we broke it based on which cornerback we'd rather have on our team right now.
All stats from Pro Football Focus.

I'm sad my milk supply has gotten so low. I have been supplementing formula because of it even though I have been pumping like crazy every 3, hours and nursing my son as well.. any advice on increasing supply?
I'm sad my milk supply has gotten so low. I have been supplementing formula because of it even though I have been pumping like crazy every 3, hours and nursing my son as well.. any advice on increasing supply?
I am not an expert though...
Breastfeeding Mommy to Roger - born February 16th, 2011 via emergency C-section.
How old is your baby? How long do you pump and what type of pump are you using?
How do you know your supply is low??
Mommy of 4,
3 who I watch over, 1 who watches over all of us
J- 8/20/05 pumped breastmilk for 11 months due to his cleft lip and palate!
M- 10/17/07 my precious baby lives forever in her mommys heart
M- 3/31/09 my special gift, she helps heal her mommy and daddys heart. Nursed for 4 years and 10 days, self weaned the day her baby brother was born!
E-, new little miracle born 4/11/13, my BIG baby! Born 8.6 at 38 weeks. At 9 weeks nearly 17lbs, at 12 weeks nearly 20lbs, at 6 months nearly 23lbs, at 8 months nearly 25lbs and all from BREASTMILK
My son was born 2-20-2011 and is growing so much. When I pump I pump for 20 minutes on each side... my pump is a playtex one
I second Dara's question- how do you KNOW you have low supply? A lot of new mamas mistake normal aspects of breastfeeding for low supply. If your baby is growing and is producing enough wet and poopy diapers on breastmilk alone, then your supply is okay. Good output = good input.
The following are all normal:
- Not leaking
- Not feeling engorged, hard, or "full"
- Fussy baby
- Baby nurses frequently, perhaps every 1-2 hours or even more often
- Baby nurses for long time periods
- Mom is unable to pump much milk (Being able to pump 1-2 oz is fine, pumping less than that is not an indication of a problem as long as baby is growing and producing adequate diapers)
- Baby takes significant amount from a bottle even after nursing
Here's a link from kellymom.com for weaning off formula supplements. It didn't work for us because I had to go back to work right after I found it. Maybe it'll help you out. I've also found tons of information and answers to questions on kellymom.com.
I love mommal's advice, she answer's alot of my questions on the breastfeeding your infant 3-12 months' forum.
Is nursing for 5-10 mins per side every hour (except at night from 10 pm -7am) normal behavior for a 3 month old? My baby girl nurses like this plus ~16-20 oz of formula per day. She nurses and falls asleep then wakes 10-20 mins later wanting to nurse again and repeats hour after hour.
And how do you pump after feedings when you're nursing this often?
My supply hasn't increased despite nursing this often, pumping after bedtime and 1st morning feedings, fenugreek, mother's tea, an extra pump session at 2 am, and a 3 week run of Reglan...well, I may have gotten an extra 1/2 oz after the Reglan. But even after three months I still feel like I'm doing it all wrong. I have hope for you that it works itself out. Good luck to you and your little one!
Ok that's my very same pump I started with.
Rent a hospital grade pump. You should be able to do that if your on WIC. Unless your husband makes like 6figure you should be able to get on WIC. A hospital pump will get so much more than the playtex ones. I used medala symphony, according to the instructions. And it WAS so much better at getting milk. Plus after the rental period you get a nifty hand pump to keep
Pump every 2hrs. I did it every time I had a let down and steed my milk while I gave my LO formula at night, BM during the day (I had bad latch problems ) eventually I got a great supply and eventually got the latch problems fixed and tossed the rest of the formula (it was the 'ready to serve' stuff)
Luna Justine: born January 20 th 6 am on the dot
