It's turned into a waiting game, basically. Everyone is looking ahead to the postseason, which starts next week. The reserves stepped in once again on Hangover: Day 2, pushing the Phillies to a series win over the Nationals with a 7-1 victory. Ben Francisco jacked two home runs, John Mayberry and Mike Sweeney each added one and even though the game was rather meaningless (again) it gave the bench guys some good swings heading into the playoffs.
Francisco and Mayberry each knocked in three runs and Joe Blanton pitched seven solid innings. Blanton ends his year on a high note, one that started fairly ugly. He struck out six and allowed just three hits while tossing 107 pitches. He likely won't pitch in the NLDS, so Charlie Manuel allowed him to go deeper than Roy Oswalt went last night.
As for the few regulars who saw time, Shane Victorino went 0-for-4 as did Jimmy Rollins who has scuffled at the plate the last two games. Wilson Valdez, if you want to call him a regular, played second base and finished 0-for-3 with a walk.
In his quest for a spot on the NLDS roster, Greg Dobbs went 2-for-4 with a couple of singles. Out in the pen, Romero, Madson, Lidge tossed two scoreless frames to end it.
Just one week. But before the playoffs, enjoy the final moments of what has been an awesome regular season. Let it last.

Dobbs' 2 hits were cheap ones. I'm not convinced that he's postseason-worthy. But I guess I sort of see the logic with the infield being possibly thin.
And how bout the Phillies pitchers rendering Adam Dunn useless tonight??
Good win. Good for the bench guys.
But are they going to keep Sweeney it be retarded if they dont? Or are they worried about Jimmy? Dobber is a waste of space. They must be worried about Jimmy going down I have to assume.
I think the rumors in the previous threads about Dobbs being on the postseason roster over Sweeney were just flotsam. Valdez can play 3rd, 2nd, and SS. Sweeney has a passable backup bat, and can play first to some extent. That covers infield defense substitutions; you then have a lot of flexibility with the remaining non-starter spots to use on the right combination of capable outfielders, bats, and bullpen pitchers. Dobbs is unnecessary.
I think it was precautionary in case Rollins goes down and Polly gets hurt or something. Though I'm sure Polly would tough it out, or Ruiz would move up to third (he was a 2nd baseman before he caught) and Schneider would catch, or something like that.
And Valdez can play the Outfield, too. He's played at every position minus C and P I believe. It's not like we'd need him to play out there though.
Valdez? There's a whole thread on this site devoted to knocking his abilities. Don't tell me he's a key member of this team!
The Giants won again last night. Lincecum through 7 had 11 strike outs and gave up 6 hits, 1 run. All the run support he needed was provided by Pat the Bat – a three run dinger in the bottom of the 4th, his 20th.
Yes. If any of you haven't visited that thread yet…the one entitled "Wilson Valdez' Historic Season"….I invite you to read some of it now.
The author…and a few of his cohorts…apparantely wants us all to believe that Valdez is NOT one of the major reasons why the Phillies are where they are this season.
Any parade that was Wilson Valdez has been rained on pretty significantly by these clowns. I just said on that thread that the "horse has been beaten"…but after reading a comment or two on here just now…I couldn't help but make mention of the topic.
After a rough August, the Giants pitching staff has been on fire in Sept (as have the Phils- top 3 starting pitching staffs in Sept):
Team W L ERA G H HR SO
Giants 13 7 2.05 25 107 13 167
Angels 9 6 2.7 25 129 11 120
Phillies 17 5 2.76 27 148 22 150
Not much offense after Posey and the Bat.
I would be willing to put Sweeney, Francisco, or Chooch at third if PP goes down instead of wasting a roster spot on Dobbs. Unless something drastically changes in the last 3 games, I think Rollins will be a back-up – at least in the Div series – timing isn't down at the plate, and looks very tentative in the field.
Will Charlie actually do that??….make Rollins a back-up?? You know how fiercely loyal he can be…
I would subscribe to that idea, though.
My first preference is that Rollins gets his timing back, if he doesn't, then start Valdez. You're probably right though – if Rollins can walk, he'll start. The next question is where does Charlie put him in the BA? In his current condition, should be 7th or 8th.
As valuable as Valdez has proven himself to be in the infield, I don't see Charlie lifting Jimmy unless his health becomes an issue or his back is against the wall. I would imagine that the reason for putting Valdez on the postseason roster is to back up Rollins, Polanco, and Utley, because he's had significant playing time at both shortstop and second and he could probably play third if need be.
Ibanez and Werth have stayed pretty healthy all season and despite a slight downturn in offense production in the very recent past, Victorino has been, well, Victorino in the field. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I think it's possible that Ben Francisco is the main outfield back-up and if there's room for Domonic Brown, they'll bring him along to back Werth up.
*tongue in cheek* And let's not forget that in a true emergency, Oswalt can play left field if he doesn't get the ball on any given night.
But, yeah, I'm thinking Rollins is getting a pretty long leash unless he reinjures himself or clearly isn't up to par. He's earned a long leash.
Plain and simple, why would you risk putting someone like Sweeney, Ben Francisco or Chooch at third if Poly goes down? You've got to have a legit 3rd baseman on hand and as much as we may not want to admit it, Dobbsy does a fair job at third. But, to put someone with no recent experience in the 'hot corner' in case your starter goes down? That would be foolish. Dobbsy has to be part of the rotation, earned or not.
Greg Dobbs is a waste of space. I hope we don't have to see his sorry face in our dugout next year.
I'm sorry. I just can't bring myself to refer to him as "Dobbsy". In my opinion, Greg Dobbs has done nothing to warrant a cute nickname from any of us.
Although he had a terrible world series, Dobbs was a critical part of the 08 team. His glovework was terrible, but a nice lefty off the bench, had as good a year as you can ask from a bench guy. Since then, he has been a liability to the team (defense or at the plate). He was done last year, regressed even more this year. I respect his 08, but would be perfectly happy to never see him bat again (at least in a Phils uniform). I wouldn't want to risk a pitcher getting hurt at third, but would be happy with anyone else playing the position (prefer PP).
Dobbs is a below average fielder and he's brutal at the plate. I don't know how he managed any hits last night. It seems like he's only capable of pop ups and strike outs. Cody Ransom was a better choice at 3rd.
Wilson Valdez can play third though? I would hardly say Dobbs does a "fair job" at third. Just use Valdez there. Unless you're worried about Polanco AND Rollins going down I guess. Which could happen.
Valdez can play 3rd, short and second…all very well.
Right, I said that. Twice.
There is no way you can start Valdez over Rollins. Jut Valdez is a great glove. Great arm. He can get you a hit here and there. Rollins is always a threat to get it going.
If Rollins AND Polanco get hurt in the postseason, we're probably not winning the big trophy anyway, no matter who's on the bench.
There are four non-pitchers this team can't afford to lose in the postseason: Utley, Howard, Werth and Polly.
Within today's notebook comes news the #Phillies will be replacing both of their AA and AAA managers http://bit.ly/akwOrY
Rollins is not healthly at all. He's a potential liability out there.
Start him. See how it goes. But bench him if it's obvious that he can't really play effectively.
Blanton is now 9-6 with a 4.74 ERA, which may not sound like much, but after being 1-5 with a 7.28 ERA through mid-June, he has made up considerable ground.
Over his last 11 starts, Blanton is 5-0 with a 3.03 ERA and the Phillies are 10-1 during that stretch.
Here is my post season roster prediction
Jeff of Nova- No back up catcher? Got to have either Schenider or Hoover.
Dobbs isnt a great fielder and worse at offense. Truth the matter is Polanco is hurt, Jimmy is hurt, im sure Utley is same. Im thinking he would get a Roster Spot just for the fact that any one of those guys can go down at any time and then that would leave just Valdez.
This quote is from the Denver Post 2007, I can't vouch for it's accuracy. But if correct, it answers a question some people have been asking about, whether Cholly should keep Greg Dobbs on the playoff roster.
My original thought was that despite the fact that I loathe Dobbs, having ONLY one extra utility infielder, Valdez, was a dangerous thing to do in case Jimmy is not really ready, and Polanco's elbow prevented him from playing. But this seems to say that we don't have to put Dobbs on the roster because if needed in an emergency we can keep him on standby, and change the roster for injury.
"Starting in 2007, a club may, with the permission of the commissioner, substitute for a player injured during a postseason series. Roster changes during the playoffs are rare but not unheard of."
Pat maybe you can check the accuracy of this.
I forgot to post the link. Again, I think it needs to be further examined.
You guys are all crazy. Dobbs has been horrible this year, but if it's between him and Brown, you have to go with Dobbs. He provides an extra, much-needed infielder. We're not going to experiment with Chooch or Ben Francisco at third in the play-offs. That's just insane.
Secondly, pinch-hitting is extremely difficult to do. The odds of getting a hit are incredible low. It's not like Domonic Brown has lit the world on fire since coming up.
Thirdly, Dobbs is not our main pinch-hitter. If we desperately need an rbi, we got Gload. And lately, Dobbs has just been a "show-me" pinch-hitter so the other team will put in a lefty.
And finally, Cole, Oswalt and Halladay seem to be pitching well beyond 7 innings lately, so the whole idea might be moot. If they go out and dominate, when are we going to absolutely NEED a pinch-hitter to just get on base????
The fact is, we could probably go into the playoffs with 24 men if need be. Or if you want to get cocky, 3 starting pitchers, Madson, Lidge and the starting 8 plus Gload…. so that's 14. So worrying about who the last guy is going to be, and arguing like idiots about it doesn't really make sense, does it? We have the best record in the NL with Dobbs on the team!!!! OH MY GOD!! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?!?!
The phils will be fine with Dobbs being the 25th man on the playoff roster.
Would think Schneider at catcher While I disagree, Dobbs will make it. Now that you can change rosters each series, the big question is whether KK makes the DS roster. With the amount of off days in the DS, only need 3 starters. KK has more bullpen experience than Blanton, but hope not to need either, Blanton is the better pitcher, and deserves the respect (plus we may need his bat!). It would be kind of a slap in the face to KK, but I think you leave him off, bring along Dom. The other option is to drop Contreras for KK. Should be interesting.
"respecitely" is not a word.
The remaining games are meaningless unless you're Ben Francisco or Domonic Brown or Wilson Valdez or Jimmy Rollins, in which case they're completely meaningful. Truthfully, I would love to see the Phillies knock the Braves out of the postseason (a first round match-up against the Padres would be better than a first round match-up versus the Giants) but the Phillies aren't going to make that a top priority… they can beat anyone and they know that rest and health is more important than a match up. So if the Phillies don't care, I can't really care, either. I hope that we see the Dr. Jeckyll version of KK (not Mr. Hyde)… I hope that we beat the Braves but I won't shed a tear if we don't.
I was looking back at the PN 2010 predictions of the NLE- must give a standing ovation to the guys who made the predictions. They looked like this back in April:
1. Phillies (94-68)… we'll end up with 95-98 wins
2. Braves (90-72)… will end up with 90-93 wins)
3. Marlins (86-76)… will end up with 77-81 wins
4. Mets (80-82)… will end up with 77-81 wins
5. Nats (69-93)… will end up with 68-71 wins
I guess it's not rocket science, especially in the NLE (the missed in the other divisions) where things ended up a lot like the prior year. The Padres came out of nowhere so I give them a free pass there but they predicted that the Reds would finish 4th and drew a lot of criticism from the readers who said that their assessment was harsh considering the young talent on the Reds squad… so they get an A++ in the division that matters and C- in the others (and that's probably generous).
Unlike the Valdez string yesterday, I'd hesitate to bring up the points mentioned here as arguing like idiots. Sure, we all know Dobbs will be on the roster, just wishing for another alternative. While Dobbs has very little to offer (do you really think Sweeney, Chooch, Francisco, or even Roy Oswalt would be any worse at third?), there is no way Charlie takes that chance. Bring Dobbs along, and it is the fault of Rube,…, for not finding another utility infielder that apparently grow on trees. Don't bring him, and be prepared to get second guessed.
Whoops I forgot Schneider my bad I did count him
14 position players 11 pitchers
Does Greg Dobbs know how lucky he is even being CONSIDERED for a playoff roster spot??
Yeah, Lefty…I pretty much "loathe" him as well (not that anyone on here could figure that out, mind you)
The f*cker better do something…ANYTHING….to make his spot count….cause he's a real waste in my opinion.
I don't think we need to put him on the roster, the link seems to imply that you can call up a player for injury replacement. Hopefully Pat or someone will check into it, to see if
a) the writer was correct or b) my interpretation of it was correct.
Read it and let me know what you think.
JUST SAY NO – to Dobbs
Polanco got a cortisone shot to the elbow – Hope it holds together for 1 more month: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5631014
Polly should be okay if he doesn't dive on the elbow to to get a ball. Besides being hit by a pitch that seems to be what causes him the most "in game" pain.
If we go with 14 position players and 11 pitchers, I think that it looks like this:
Guarantee stamp, position players (7):
Ruiz, Vic, Werth, Ibanez, Polanco, Howard, Utley
G-stamp, starting pitchers (4):
Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, Blanton (R)
G-stamp, relievers (5)
Lidge, Madson, Romero (L), Contreras (R), Durbin (R)
G-stamp bench bats (4)
Ben Fran, Valdez, Schneider, Gload
That leaves 5 spots… I think that you can lump Rollins in there as long as he shows us that he's not still injured over the next few games. I also think you have to keep Bastardo as another lefty.
That leaves 3 spots… I think that you have to keep at least one more pitcher to give us 11, total and it's between Baez, Herndon, Kendrick and Worley. I think that he'll go with Worley; he went with Bastardo last year without really knowing what he had and I think he'll do the same but he could go with Herndon or Baez. The other 2 bench spots should belong to guys that can actually make a difference if called upon. The reason that Rollins isn't a guarantee is because if Charlie looks at this thing and says, "I don't think it's worth keeping Dobbs around to protect Jimmy." He could hold off adding him to the roster until the NLCS (if he gets healthy). If he looks at it and says, "Jimmy's not a problem, I'm going with the best team." I think your bench guys are Brown and Sweeney. If he looks at it and says, "I need to be careful." We'll see Dobbs and one of Brown or Sweeney (probably Sweeney b/c Dobbs is a lefty). My prediction: the final 3 in are Sweeney, Brown and Worley. First four out: Baez, Herndon, Kendrick, Dobbs.
It's a shame because we wouldn't be talking about this if Rollins/Polly were healthy.
If this is correct,/ if I'm reading it correctly- we don't need to talk about this anymore. I think it says no matter who you decide for your 25, you can still get an emergency replacement with commisioners approval. In which case Charlie would go "with the best possible team".
I really don't see worley making the postseason roster………
Wait, I thought guys had to be with the club by Aug 31 to qualify for the postseason. Worley was called up in Sept, right??
Or is that deadline just for TRADES.??
In other words….as long as your in the system by Aug 31…??
For the divisional sereis, I don't think they'll go with 11 pitchers anyway.
To be eligible for a team's playoff roster a player must be on either a)the 25 man active roster, b)the disabled list, c)the bereavement list, d)the suspended list as of August 31st at midnight.
Worley was a Sept call-up, and is not eligible.
You might be right, Jay but that's my surprise pick.
I'm also not very confident that Brown makes the team… Charlie's hand is kind of forced here unless Rollins is 100%. It stinks because if Dobbs makes the team, I can't envision any situation where I would rather see him at the plate than Brown BUT you have to have 2 backup infielders if those guys aren't healthy or else you're really vulnerable.
Can anyone play 3B in a pinch? Gload? Werth? Ben Fran?
The Reds trail the Giants by two games for the #2 playoff spot. Nobody wants to face the #Phillies in the 1st round. http://ow.ly/2MvMW
As bfo_33 said worley is not eligible……I agree with you i would not want dobbs on the roster…..
Big victories for MLBPA in free agency beginning this year. No longer 15-day period for teams to negotiate with own FA. Now 5.
I want to sweep the Braves… I REALLY prefer facing the Padres (WC team) instead of the Giants. But if it looks like the Braves will make it, then I hope the Reds finish behind the Giants so that we face them instead.
I guess that means I'll be cheering for the Padres… and for whichever team plays against the Reds!
Does that make any sense?
*as long as the Padres don't take over the NLWest again and send the Giants to the WC. That would be a total disaster!
who are you guys pulling for to face in nlds?all the NL teams except the phils are inexperienced playoff teams the phils go an advantage there.
Kyle Kendrick in 9 career games vs. #Braves…4-1 record w/ a 2.53 ERA. Plus- 0.72 ERA in his last 4 outings against them.
jay i agree lincum,cain,sanchez can be scary in a 5 game series…reds are offensive team that is a young lineup i kinda wanna face them i don't even think they know who starting game 1 for them but i think it'll be arroyo or cueto.
roy o is 6-4 2.14 ERA on road this year weither he start at home or road it doesn't matter…i think charlie will go halladay,hamels,oswalt but he could surprise us and switch oswat and hamels up.
Slim chance Phillies had of re-signing Werth when he hits FA just got slimmer w/changes to off-season calendar: http://ow.ly/2MypC
My thing is can J-Roll get enough timing back in his remaining 12 or so at bats. Its really a shame because he look like he was on to something just before he went out again. We all know Cholly will go with a struggling J-Roll than Valdez. I think we all know he will get the lead off spot to. Vic was going on a tear there for a while before cooling down again. This year brings in some new challenges as oppose to previous years. If anyone can get it together it be this group.
I agree with Andrew…for once. I would definately go with Dobbs over Brown for the final position. Dobbs has more experience as a pinch hitter, and people don't realize that he has come through with a few big home runs this year. Also, Brown strikes out way too much, and as a young player in the post season coming up for 1 ab to do something for your team, I would go with Dobbs' experience in that situation over a strikeout-prone, inexperienced Brown anytime.
Ryan – Both Dobbs and Brown strikeout a lot. Dobbs also pops up a ton, but he does play infield. Charlies probably going with an IF for the post season. We have plenty of OFs.
Unless Brown tears it up in the final 3 games, I too would go with Dobbs over Brown.
Congrats to Shane & Melissa Victorino on the birth of their son, Kingston Shane, today at 3:01 p.m!
VERY INTERESTING-GM Amaro Considered Blowing Up 2010 Squad: Crashburn Alley » Not even a full day removed from clinch… http://bit.ly/aZWobo
Dobbs doesn't strike out nearly as often as Brown. Since he stopped being a starter, Brown has struck out every other at-bat it seems…he's just not a clutch player at this point, and is even less reliable than Dobbs.
That is a great find JPB. I enjoy all the links you post, but this one was the best. It seems that RAJ was thinking like many people here on PN!
When they released Juan Castro they should of looked for a replacement. Even if they could of stuff said replacement in the minors to be called up. Or brought up a minor leaguer i think they where banking on Dobber to get a reasonable grove back. Now we have to hope that no one in the infield gets hurt and that Rollins is up to par. Rollins will get the start unless there is something seriously wrong with him even if he goes 1-20. Cholly wont likely pull him to it gets to the melting point or an injury. Resting him isnt much of an option and may not even help he needs some at bats. Is a 70% healthy J-Roll more of a threat than a healthy Valdez. That is the question and im sure Cholly would say yes. Of course there is no way of knowing since we dont know how serious it is nor Im I a doctor and if I where a Doctor i didnt evaluate his condition. So at this point its between J-Roll, Cholly, Raj, and trainers/medical staff.
Sd lost again they are done.
Really no one wanted to make it in the NL.
NL comes in with 2 hot teams Philly and SF. Pat the bat carrying the Giants.
Id like to have Browns speed in the playoffs as a pinch runner.
The Reds have some bats and a decent pen but the SP heavily favors the phils. If I am the Reds I start Travis Wood in game 1. He is thier starter who scares me.
Tampa lost again. This means the Phils have the best overall record in baseball with 3 games to go.
The Reds will be our first round opponents. Unless the Pads sweep the Giants (not) and the Phils sweep the Braves (not), this looks to be the NL playoff standings the way they are placed now.
Braves at Giants
Reds at Phils
Which pretty much boils down to a Giants vs Phils NLCS. I'm pumped!
The Reds have also had a bit of a melt down in Sept with a 12-15 record. 2-8 vs teams with a winning record.
Can't really take anything for granted but, it will be exciting to see!
As brookS said-With one more Giants victory, the Phillies will officially be matched up with the Reds. (Provided, of course, the Braves hang on to win WC.)
Once there was a silly old ant….
The only way, and I mean ONLY way, we take Kendrick is if we get into a hot wife contest with the other team.
They aren't married. Yet, I guess. At least I don't think they are.
Anyway, I'm still grinding my teeth on the Dobbs v Brown issue. I guess this is the only – THE ONLY – circumstance under which I can see myself saying Dobbs should go rather than Brown. I don't think Brown's up to it.
Well let me say this: I don't think Dobbs is up to it either, but he's, uh, less not up to it than Brown. Right, a ringing endorsement. That's the best I can muster right now.

Hey all,
I'm looking to fulfill my volunteer requirements to get a full WHRRI licence (and be considered for rookie of the year...not that I deserve it in anyway). What volunteer opportunities are available? I'd be willing to work the last open track day, assuming that's not too late in the year. Part of my thinking was that I would want to get my full licence to race the regional race Oct. 5th at Mid-O. Jerry already vouched for me saying that I will have a full licence, but I'd still like to fulfill my volunteer requirements asap.

Hubig's Pie factory burns; iconic building a 'total loss'
Firefighters sound five alarms, struggle against blaze
Firefighters responded to the Hubig's Pie factory early Friday morning after flames were reported at the historic plant.
The massive fire broke out at the Marigny factory on Dauphine Street between Mandeville and Spain streets before dawn.
According to company officials, two or three Hubig Pie employees were in the building at the time the fire began. The fire is believed to have started in the center of the factory, in an area called the fry-room, and spread quickly throughout the building.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
At least 32 trucks and 95 firefighters were working the blaze. Some homes in the area were evacuated.
"This business fed our first responders after Katrina. Our guys put this out with their tears," said NOFD Chief Charles Parent.
The situation worsened just before 6 a.m. when the front portion of the building collapsed. At that point, the facility was a total loss.
"We have and will be a good neighbor, this is hard - we're trying to wrap our heads around it," said Hubig's Pies owner Andrew Ramsey. "We have 40 employees and we will rebuild."
Smoke from the burning remains of the plant drifted over the city as the sun came up. Crews remained on site, tending to hot spots.
Hubig's opened that plant in 1922. Though the Simon Hubig Pie Company was founded in Ft. Worth, Texas, at the onset of World War I, only the New Orleans operation remains in business.
The company is famous for its individually wrapped fried fruit pies, which are among the best-known treats in New Orleans.
After Hurricane Katrina, the company distributed thousands of pies to rescue workers and those in need of assistance.
"There aren't many things that say 'New Orleans' as much as a Hubig's pie," Councilwoman Stacy Head told WDSU. "So many of us feel so fondly about Hubig's. We're going to want to rally around and support them."
Head said she hoped and expected the company would be able to rebuild immediately.

Wells Fargo & Co. announced this week that it invested $315.8 million in 19,500 nonprofits in 2012, a 48 percent increase over the total donations for 2011. The 2012 total includes nearly $77 million in down payment assistance grants made as part of Wells Fargo's NeighborhoodLIFT SM program. This increase follows four consecutive years of more than $200 million a year in total corporate giving.
"These numbers represent Wells Fargo's ongoing commitment to providing vital financial resources to the local communities we serve," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf in a press release. "Although our economy goes through ups and downs, our longstanding commitment to the communities where our customers live, work, and do business has been a core part of our vision and values since day one."
Wells Fargo's corporate giving is guided by the principle of finding local solutions for local needs. Team members living and working in Wells Fargo's communities direct corporate giving to those organizations and programs considered vital to the communities they call home.
In 2012, Wells Fargo's community investments included $75.7 million to 8,000 educational programs and schools around the U.S., and $146.4 million in grants to nonprofits focused on community development in distressed communities, including affordable housing, homeownership counseling, financial education, workforce development and job creation.
In addition to corporate giving, in 2012, 57,036 team members reported more than 1.5 million community involvement and volunteer hours, valued at $32.7 3 million. The number of team member volunteers increased by 4,600, an 8.2 percent increase from 2011. Examples of volunteer activities included Habitat for Humanity builds; restoring parks and public land; and delivering financial education to 153,902 individuals and families using Wells Fargo's Hands on Banking program.
"Year after year, our team members are out in our communities, helping local organizations that are making a difference in the lives of people in need," said Jon Campbell, head of Government and Community Relations at Wells Fargo. "Whether they're giving their time and talent, or donating their own financial resources, our team members are setting an amazing example, and they're making a positive impact in local communities all over the country."

12-team Non-PPR mock draft review
In about a month, I will be whipping up my initial and early Draft Plan, which will simply cover all the positions and how to approach them. In the summer, I'll tweak that and quadruple the size of the article, as I always do in the summer. That will cover a plan of action by position, go pick-by-pick through the first 10 rounds, and much more.
But in order to formulate my Draft Plan, I have to actually draft, and I have been doing that this month. Today I did my second mock draft for a magazine, this one for USA Today's fantasy magazine. I can't share all the results, but I can share my picks and some general thoughts.
As you may recall, I thought last year a good way to zig when everyone zagged in a draft was to, as I put it, "kick it old school" and go RB-RB. That actually might have been bad advice, thanks to some RB injuries/poor play from namely Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray. But I always try to be ahead of the curve, and it appears I was because going old school looks like a great way to go this year, since QB […]

Oil Geopolitics Part I: U.S. Reserves
6 comments:
- Goethe said...
This posting gives more information than anything to be found in the newspapers. Again, the Internet wins! Still, I am in favor of going nuclear.
I would support drilling if it can be environmentally friendly and if it will truly make a difference for the common man. Unfortunately neither will happen. Environmentally friendly oil drilling in Alaska, although possible is highly unlikely in my opinion. Second, even if congress approved drilling, it will take between 5-10 years to actually start producing oil for our needs. It is not going to help us in the immediate time when oil prices average $4/gallon. Even when we get this oil 5-10 years from now, it might shave off a few cents per gallon at best. So for most Americans, that difference is nominal. To save that money, the average American family just needs to stop eating outside once a month.
I think we should be promoting a better lifestyle rather than promoting the problems that come from high fuel prices. We Americans are so used to our splurging lifestyle that we have a hard time changing. I would like to see both McCain and Obama and all politicians preach about how we need to change our ridiculous lifestyles rather than complain about high gas prices. Demand is partly what drives the prices up so we can reduce prices by consuming less oil.
I am a hypocrite to a certain extent.....but that is changing. I am actively changing my lifestyle to use less of many things and I have stopped complaining about high oil prices. It can be done by most people if they put their mind to it.
I for one would love to see oil prices skyrocket. I am an average American, not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but not poor either, just like most others. The only way our thinking and lifestyles will change is when there is radical need. Until then we will live the way we always have.....wasting the crap out of everything.
- TheSpyofCyberpunk said...
I am full support of drilling and Barack Obama is writing his own political obituary by opposing it.
FYI, China is not drilling off of Cuba. Vice President Cheney backed off his claim (http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/40776.html)and George Will posted a retraction. I don't know if Gateway Pundit will follow suit, and I'm not sure what Senator Craig's map represents since it doesn't have a legend.
- Goethe said...
To the first Anonymous (who sounds like Jimmy Carter Redux): As soon as the futures market learns there will be drilling, the price of oil will go down, even before the results come in.
- Goethe said...
Update 7/16. Note my original prediction (first comment): the President lifted the ban on drilling, and the price of oil went down, even before there is a drop of oil drawn from the ground.

Brandon budget up for vote againBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | May 06,2014BRANDON - Wayne Rausenberger understands these are "hard times" for a lot of people but the longtime resident also said the town has got to stop "kicking the can down the road."
Whether that "can," Rausenbeger was referring to gets kicked once more depends on today's second budget vote.
Monday night Rausenberger was one of nearly 60 residents who attended an informational meeting on the $3,218,670 fiscal budget of which $2,613,995 would be raised through property taxes.
Last year, it took four votes to get a budget passed and Rausenberger said enough is enough.
"If it loses, I'd like to know what the board proposes to do because you can't keep cutting," he said. "It would be great if our taxes only went up 1 or 2 percent a year but we're in a bind here and the town is hurting."
The revised budget is only $57,000 less than the one that was soundly defeated on Town Meeting Day. But the five-member Select Board made its case to voters that any further cuts would require layoffs resulting in a cut in services. They pointed out that spending is up only 2.6 percent from the current budget. The board also reminded residents they receive a number of services for the taxes paid, including over the last four years, 24/7 police protection, a full-time recreation director and another road crew worker.
Not everyone shared Rausenberger's view, however.
One homeowner said the more pressing problem is the share of taxes he pays for education. He said every time teachers in the state get a raise, taxes go up. He said it can't continue that way while he and others live on fixed incomes.
As far as the town budget, he said the solution is simple: "More tax base, basically more business."
Union contract negotiations were on the mind of another resident. The town is set to enter negotiations on a new contract with the town manager, police chief and the public works director negotiating on the town's behalf.
It's been past practice for pay raises and other benefits for union members to be passed on to supervisory personnel as a matter of "equity," said Select Board Chairwoman Maria Ammatuna. But one woman said that's just a plain conflict of interest.
"I have some grave misgivings about doing it that way," she said. "I don't think that's fair to the taxpayer."
Selectman David Atherton said the town is considering using an outside attorney with union contract experience and "is not an interested party."
With some voters upset that the town is spending too much while others think the town isn't spending enough, one man in the audience wanted to know what the town's plan is for addressing its problem
"What are you specifically planning, what are your priorities in terms of increasing revenue." he asked.
Selectman Devon Fuller said the town is in the current situation because it used its reserves "to keep taxes low for people" through Tropical Storm Irene and through the recession "and now it's caught up to us."
Fuller said the town is now back to square one where it has to build up its reserve fund.
"This budget has no money for sidewalks, it has no money for maintenance," he said. "It barely get us through the next year."
Fuller added that "no one was complaining when their taxes were low and we were using the reserve fund."
The Select Board included a capital improvement plan in the proposed budget to help get the town back on sound financial footing.
Voters are heading to The Neshobe School today between 7 a.m and 7 p.m.

Have you seen a fisher?
April 26, 2012 —
HONESDALE, PA — The latest taxidermy mount to be added to an ever-expanding display of animals at the Wayne Conservation District (WCD) is the fisher, a mid-size carnivore characterized by a long darkly-furred body, short legs and a full tail.
Also referred to as tree otter, tree fox and fisher weasel, this mammal sports an appealing triangular face topped with wide rounded ears and oval pupils that produce a green eyeshine at night. Adult males weigh seven to 12 pounds; adult females weigh four to seven pounds.
Fishers climb trees easily with their sharp, curved, semi-retractable claws and forage both in the tree canopy and on the forest floor. They have diverse diets that include an opportunistic mix of small mammals, reptiles, insects, fruits and fungi. They seldom eat fish, but are one of the few successful predators of porcupines.
Fishers become able to reproduce by the age of one year, and prefer den sites in tree cavities high above the forest floor. One to six cubs are born from late February to May with their eyes and ears closed and are completely dependent on maternal care. Their coat is silver-gray until three to four weeks of age, when it becomes the typical chocolate brown of the adult fisher.
According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC), fishers were distributed throughout most of the state prior to the deforestation that occurred in the 19th century, as well as early colonial development. Populations declined steadily and resulted in extirpation within the state.
Fishers have since returned to Pennsylvania as a result of expansion from adjacent states and reintroduction programs. During 1994-1998, through a joint project between the PGC and Pennsylvania State University, 190 fishers were reintroduced in six sites in northern Pennsylvania. Populations are increasing throughout southwestern, central and northern regions.
See the fisher and other taxidermy mounts at the WCD office in the Park Street Complex in Honesdale, PA. WCD staff are developing an expanded educational area featuring resources related to wildlife of the region.

|Director of Athletics
|(860) 832-3035
Paul Schlickmann enters his fourth year as the Director of
Athletics at Central Connecticut State University. Under his
leadership, Blue Devil Athletics has achieved unprecedented
academic and competitive success, has been integrally involved in
community engagement, has established record setting growth in
annual giving and corporate partnerships and completed one of the
finest outdoor college athletics complexes in the Northeast.
Schlickmann was introduced as the Director of Athletics for the Blue Devils in April of 2010 after spending seven years as the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at Stony Brook University, where he managed the daily operations of a 20 sport Division I program. Prior to his tenure at Stony Brook, he spent ten years in senior administrative roles at Yale University, rising to Associate Director of Athletics for Sports Administration and Football Operations. Prior to Yale, Schlickmann served a year in the prestigious Asa Bushnell Internship with the Eastern College Athletic Conference. He got his start in college athletics as an assistant basketball coach at Worcester State College, where he spent two years before accepting a graduate assistant coaching position at Springfield College.
At Central, Schlickmann has established A Commitment to Excellence in all aspects of Blue Devil Athletics with a primary objective of providing each and every student-athlete with a positive educational experience. Building Champions; in the classroom, in competition, in the community and ultimately in life, is at the core of Schlickmann's expectations to build the premier athletics program in the Northeast Conference.
Blue Devil student-athletes are performing at a high level in the classroom. In 2011-12 the Blue Devils achieved a program first with two teams (women's cross country and women's outdoor track) recognized by the NCAA for finishing in the top 10% nationally with their APR scores, while a total of ten programs currently boast perfect APR scores of a 1,000. Thirteen of 18 teams finished the 2012-13 academic year with team grade point averages above 3.0, and 207 total student-athletes (60%) reached the same mark. Central placed 155 student-athletes on the most recent NEC Honor Roll (GPA above 3.2) and 35 on the NEC Commissioner's Honor Roll (GPA above 3.75). Eight programs received national recognition from their respective coaches associations for their academic excellence during the 2012-13 academic year.
Competitively under Schlickmann, the Blue Devils have posted their two highest Northeast Conference Commissioner's Cup finishes in the last decade. Central finished in fifth place in both 2013 and 2011. The Commissioner's Cup serves as a symbol of broad-based athletic excellence within the conference. The conference awards points based on regular season and conference championship finish. In 2013, the Blue Devils also placed sixth in the women's standings, amassing their largest point total and highest finish in Central history. During Schlickmann's tenure with the Blue Devils, CCSU has garnered seven NEC Championships, including three straight by the men's cross country team. This past season, the softball program won its first-ever NEC title and went on to win an NCAA Tournament game at the Baton Rouge, LA Regional, just the fourth NCAA win for the Blue Devils in any sport, and the second ever by a women's team.
In a continuing effort to carry out a core aspect of the University mission and develop well rounded men and women, Central Athletics and Blue Devil student-athletes have had a dramatic impact in the community in the last three years. During that time, the student-athletes and staff have completed more than 14,000 hours of community service, including 7,900 in 2012-13 alone. That total is the second-highest total of any program in the NEC since 2010, and the most per-student-athlete of any program in the league during that time. In the winter of 2011, the department was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation to fund an "Education through Athletics" program with a focus on the development of elementary and middle school children in the City of New Britain.
Externally, Schlickmann has articulated A Commitment to Excellence, the Athletics component of the University's Campaign for Success. As a result, the athletics annual fund has been re-branded as the Blue Devil Pride Fund, and in 2012-13 that fund surpassed 1,000 total annual donors for the first time in school history, doubling the number in three short years. During that time, contributions to the Pride Fund have increased 65 percent and corporate sponsorship revenue has increased 110%. These increased donations have afforded continued growth and improvement in key aspects of the program including scholarships, facility renovations and enhancements, student-athlete support services and recruiting.
Since the Fall of 2010, Schlickmann has overseen the final two phases of an $11 million transformation of Central's outdoor athletics complex. Blue Devil student-athletes now train and compete in some of the finest facilities in the country among our peer conferences. The complex boasts an expanded 5,500 seat Arute Field with a state of the art video scoreboard/billboard, a Soccer/Track stadium with an eight lane track, field turf playing surface and grandstand seating for 500 spectators along with adjoinin, artificially surfaced baseball and softball stadiums.
In the Fall of 2011, Schlickmann engineered a major re-branding effort, launching a new logo, mascot and custom font while simultaneously negotiating a department-wide apparel deal with Nike to outfit all 18 sports. The re-branding is at the core of a comprehensive marketing effort to engage the campus community, the city of New Britain and the Central Connecticut region. Along with the re-branding came a new-look website, increased high definition video streams for fan viewing and a mobile app in conjunction with Presto Sports, the official website provider of the Blue Devils. CCSU also launched an online ticketing platform for the first time in 2012-13, facilitating access to tickets for CCSU football and basketball. All of these strategies have translated well as the Blue Devils have been in the top-two in attendance in football and men's and women's basketball each of the last three years.
Always active in conference leadership and NCAA circles, Schlickmann is currently serving a two year term as the Chair of the NEC Athletic Director Committee and has just begun a four year stint (2013-2017) on the NCAA Division I Football Championship and Football Issues Committee. He has been a member of the FCS Athletic Director Association Executive Committee since 2010 and a member of the NCAA FCS Regional Advisory Committee since 2011. Schlickmann is also integrally involved in campus life at Central, having served on the University Master Planning Committee and recently being elected to a two-year term on the University Faculty Senate. While at Stony Brook, Schlickmann was selected to a four term on the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Committee from 2004-2008, serving as Chair in 2007. He was also a member of Stony Brook's institutional Steering Committee during their NCAA Certification process.

Brock says race is far from overJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock answers questions from reporters outside the Statehouse in Montpelier on Thursday.
MONTPELIER Republican challenger Randy Brock assured the press corps Thursday that reports of his campaigns death are greatly exaggerated.
At least two media pundits have already declared Peter Shumlin the winner of next months gubernatorial election. But at a late-morning press conference on the steps of the Statehouse, Brock said internal polling has revealed a far tighter race than the 37-point spread shown by a Castleton State College poll conducted in August.
Brock wouldnt show reporters his poll, conducted by the San Francisco consulting firm Dresner Wicker Brown, nor would he say by how much the survey showed him trailing Shumlin among likely voters.
But he said hes convinced the race is one that he can win.
Weve got 26 days to close that gap and I intend to do just that with your help, Brock said.
Over the past two weeks, two pundits have called the race for Shumlin despite there being four weeks until Election Day.
On Oct.3, Seven Days reporter Paul Heintz used his Fair Game column to declare Brocks campaign hopeless. Two days later, VTDigger political analyst Jon Margolis said Brock is not going to be elected governor.
And at some point the reluctance to declare the race over has to give way to the fact that this race is over, Margolis wrote.
Undeterred, Brock took a new line of attack on Shumlin on Thursday, unveiling a trove of public records indicating that the Democratic incumbent has spent nearly 20 percent of his first term outside the state hes governing.
The ship of state demands a captain at the wheel at all times, Brock said. And Peter Shumlin has not been at the wheel.
The records, produced by the Shumlin administration at the request of the Brock campaign, show that the governor was outside Vermont for 2,858 hours over the first 21 months of his term. Thats the equivalent of 119 full days.
Thats 17 weeks just shy of four months, Brock said.
Less than half of Shumlins time away was for official business. According to records handed over to Brock by the administration, Shumlin was away on state business for a total of 1,049.5 hours. The remaining 1,808.5 hours was either for campaign work, fundraising, vacation or other personal travel.
As governor I pledge to work night and day on improving the quality of life for all Vermonters, Brock said. I want to be a full-time governor.
Shumlin campaign manager Alex MacLean called Brocks criticism an attempt to direct attention away from the real issues on which the incumbent holds a clear advantage.
The governors No. 1 focus is job creation, and the idea that the governor shouldnt travel in order to bring jobs to Vermont is absurd, MacLean said. Clearly Randys campaign is getting desperate.
Brock said the fundraising totals hell reveal next Monday the final campaign-finance disclosure deadline before the election will show totals on par with what hes raised in previous reports. That means Brock has raised about $60,000 since Sept. 15, when he had $239,000 in the bank.
But his campaign since then has spent about $140,000 on television advertising alone, and Brock said Thursday hell need more money to make the race competitive between now and Nov. 6.
He said hes considering another personal loan to the campaign he contributed $300,000 of his own money in July but that hed prefer to shake some trees elsewhere.
Brock said his campaign will be targeting political moderates he believes can be swayed to his side.
If you look at how the electorate is divided in Vermont, there are an awful lot of people who are in the middle, Brock said. I think there are going to be some unusual voting patterns this year that perhaps we may not have seen in prior years, and those are the kinds of people were trying to reach.

text: Starbucks coffee The Starbucks coffee shop on Sixth Avenue and Pine Street in down Seattle sits serene and orderly, as unremarkable as any other in the chain bought 15 years ago by entrepreneur Howard Schultz. A little less than three years ago, however, the quiet storefront made front pages around the world. During the world Trade Organization talks in November,1999,protester flooded Seattle�s streets, and among their targets was Starbucks, a symbol, to them, of free-market capitalism run amok, another multinational out to blanket the earth. Amid the crowds of protesters and riot police were black-masked anarchists who trashed the store, leaving its windows smashed and its tasteful green-and-white d�cor smelling of tear gas instead of espresso. Says an angry Schulz: �It�s hurtful. I think people are ill-informed. It�s very difficult to protest against a can of Coke , a bottle of Pepsi, or a can of Folgers. Starbucks is both this ubiquitous brand and a place where you can go and break a window... Please login to view full paper

I like Super Test, as well as Ironmaglabs Ultra Male. You could also try something like E-Control or another mild AI
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Could anyone please tell me what the best Testosterone supplement is out there. I want a way to keep my levels boosted while in recovery. Right now I have Super Test by Beast. Is this decent or what is a more preferred supplements. I do light lifting and a lot of cycling. Road and MTN cycling so anything that wont interfere with my cardio output would be optimal. Thanks in advance!

Let me just follow up with some more info. I am 33 6'2" and stay about 150-155lbs. Like I stated above my primary area is cycling so focus on quads and overall leg strength is my goal. I do some upper body but nothing to take away from my lower half. My diet is super clean, sugars in total check, good protein and carb intake. I focus on heavy output with just as much attention to recovery. I have recently added in cjc-1295 with Ip, post work outs, with Semerolin on my off days. I like the testosterone supplement because it gives me a little boost. Is there anyway for me to improve? All criticisms are welcome!
Thanks for the confirmation Adrenolin. I will take a look at E-Control. Any other tips about test boosting or tips to make my training better would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Your screen name is awesome!
Ostarine might be a good choice for you. Worth looking into.
Once again thank you everyone for the feedback provided. I took a look at E-Control and I think that this may be a good product when ever I come to the end of my 8 week cycle oftaking the Super-Test. It looks like it keeps your E levels under control while taking a break from using the oral test booster. I am hoping this is correct and from what I read and the price it looks like a very good option for me.
WeekendWarrior, thank you for the tip about Ostarine and youbring up a very interesting topic that comes to mind. I have just started to read up on SARMS, however, I have also read about some negative connotations that are linked with SARMS like: it can change your DNA. Maybe you can educate me on this point. From the little I have read about Ostarine it looks like a powerful tool to use while on PCT, and this is music to my ears since hearing that it has bone and joint building properties. When I hit up anywhere close to a century onthe weekend the overworked areas of my knees can really start breaking downtendons and the occasional joint flare up. Building stronger bones and joints is always what I love to hear because bones are what create red blood cells and you need RBC to carry oxygen and this is what endurance athletes need. If you have any other feedback about Ostearine or your personal experience with it Iwould love to hear more. If there areany other points anyone can bring to light about using supplements in a post cycle I would also be glad to hear any of those tips, opinions or concerns. Thanks again and I look forward to learningmore about SARMS and their continual development.

Unlike most people, I stay horny as fuck on cycle and the only thing thing I can attribute it to is Anabolic Matrix. Correct me if im wrong, but id assume im staying horny because my test levels are holding good. So that might be a product you'd want to look into.
Haha well put Mattsilf. But I stay pretty horny naturally and having my wife around readily available to taunt me keeps my interest level up (no pun intended). I will say that once I started the Super-Test I did notice my sexual appetite increase, however, that has kind of leveled off after being a little over 4 weeks in. The Super-Test had most of what the Anabolic Matrix does but it also boasts a DHT suppressor which I found interesting. I see that the Anabolic Matrix contains DHEA which I have always wanted to try but was reluctant because of its ability to also produce E which is not what I want. The review for the product looks good and Im wondering how the DHEA works in conjunction with the other test building elements. I still like the idea of E control for a short post cycle but I am waiting if anybody out there has any more advice about Ostarine or SARMS in general. Thanks for the tips and I look forward to hearing more of what works for others in test boosting products.
24k is the man to talk to about SARMs. Shoot him a PM. I just got a bottle of ostarine in the mail from Blue Sky, im going to run it as a bridge
Very nice and I will have to hit up 24k to get extra resources. Thanks for the connect with that. I would like to hear how the Ostarine works out for you. Please link me up to your feedback or post with your results here if you can. Thanks again!
I definitely will, no problem man!
Thanks for pointing to this one perarded123. I will take note of Alphamax for sure.
Okay thus far I have had some pretty decent responses and insight into what supplement is preferred. Now I want to ask the question: How do these test supplements stack up to those using actual TRT? Im hoping to hear things like its no where close, or with the right training close to the same. Im just wondering especially for recovery purposes I have felt way faster recoveries on a test supplement and peptides than without. Could the real TRT be even faster and if so, is it really worth the adverse side effects that may come along with it? Thanks again for keeping the thread going.
If your natural test levels aren't low, it will be hard for you to find a doc to approve TRT for you. You can supplement your own, be it Test E, C, or Prop. And an over the counter test supp is nothing compared to a cycle of test.
Anabolic Matrix and Ultra Male are killer T boosters that will keep mood, energy and libido high.
Anabolic Matrix Rx
Ultra-Male Rx
I just wanted to givea big thank you for everyone contributing their knowledge, opinions and insightto this thread. I have no desire to trya TRT since I am just now breaching my mid 30s and still have nice T levels sothe supplements help out enough. ThanksHeavyIron for the product bumps and I will totally be checking out AnabolicMatrix. Please keep the thread goingwith more products I love to hear whats new whats preferred and what is junk.
BTW my progress with Super Test and CJC+IP has been great so far. Lean and getting mean with the quads and core that I am loving on the training rides during the week.
One last bump and question for the day then I swear I'm done till tomorrow. Okay, what are the opinions about staying on cycle. When the Super Test runs dry and I decide to re-up with one of the products mentioned above how long should I go off for. I mean my diet is right on, and my training is great with even my recovery days doing something light. Is it safe to stay on to 12 weeks or do I need a week or so to level out? Thanks everyone.
Thanks again for everyone posting up on this one. For anyone out there like me that is an endurance athlete I thinking of re-uping with some gw510516. I know Ostarine was mentioned here but after reading GW seems like it would fit me well. Any comments or concerns are welcome.

The Battle of Beantown, Part II…
Bring out the broom…
The Baltimore Orioles have proven to be very challenging for the Yankees in recent years. The Orioles are one of the AL's young and improving teams, and they'll be a force to be reckoned with in the not-so-distant future. Despite the slow start, the Orioles came into the Bronx fresh off a weekend sweep of the Boston Red Sox. But pitching prevailed as the Yankees completed a three game sweep before heading to Boston for their own weekend series against the Red Sox.
Antonelli/NY Daily News
I'd love to think that…if the Orioles can sweep the Red Sox and the Yankees can sweep the Orioles, then surely the Yankees can… Oh well, one can dream! It should be a fun series at Fenway Park.
After the Yankees picked up wins in the first two games against Baltimore behind the pitching of CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, I was somewhat concerned that the Yankees would be caught looking ahead to the weekend on "getaway day". Thanks to homers by Nicks Johnson and Swisher, Andy Pettitte was staked to an early 6-1 lead but he departed in the 5th inning due to a stiff elbow. An MRI later revealed mild inflammation in his left elbow, and he is expected to miss his next start. With Mariano Rivera still out and Joba Chamberlain unavailable after two consecutive nights of work, the game was left in the hands of the bullpen. Baltimore mounted a rally against the relief corps, but the Yankees held on for the 7-5 win. Alfredo Aceves picked up the save.
Christopher Pasatieri/Newsday/MCT
The Yankees have definitely dealt with their share of injuries lately. Fortunately, only one player was hurt enough for placement on the DL (Curtis Granderson; strained groin). The others, like Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, have simply taken a few days off. The Yankees will most likely skip Pettitte's next start as a precautionary measure, but hopefully, Posada and Rivera will be ready for action on Friday night.
With the Yankees headed for Boston, it can only mean one thing…for me, anyway. It's time for my latest battle against Julia of Julia's Rants! This time, we've decided to make the loser go on a journey to find an inexpensive piece of memorabilia about the 'other' team. It can't be something that is current and easy to find. Part of the loser's obligation will be to document their journey by photographs in the quest. The loser will have until the end of Memorial Day Weekend to complete their adventure. It should be a very fun time for Julia as she explores Boston for Yankees paraphernalia! Hey Julia, Game On! J
Speaking of the Red Sox, they did the classy thing and had Nomar Garciaparra Day today at Fenway Park against the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the 2004 trade and Nomar's subsequent stays in Chicago, Los Angeles and Oakland, he remains a fan favorite in Boston and the city was allowed to express their love and respect for a great former Red Sox player. A very nice touch by the Red Sox organization…
Boston Globe Staff
I'd also like to pay respects to the late great Ernie Harwell. The long-time Detroit Tigers announcer lost his battle with cancer at age 92. I may not have been a Tigers fan, but I was…correction, I am…an Ernie Harwell fan. For a wonderful tribute to one of the game's greatest, you don't have to go any further than Mitch Albom's column in the Detroit Free Press. His column entitled 'Ernie Harwell: Gone now, but not forgotten' is a must-read.
Daniel Mears/The Detroit News
So, Julia's Boston Bruins and my San Jose Sharks are both a game away for their respective conference finals. Both teams hold commanding 3 games to none leads in their current series, the Sharks against the Detroit Red Wings and the Bruins against the Philadelphia Flyers. A Stanley Cup is not a certainty by any stretch as both teams still have to a) win their current series, and b) win the conference finals. But here's at least one person hoping for a match-up against the great Ranter from Massachusetts! Hey Julia, Games on!

I'll be at Fenway this Friday cheering my guys on so sorry my friend but you will be the one doing the shopping!! I'm also sorry to hear about Andy Pettittee – I don't wish anyone ill. And the death of Ernie Harwell is the end of an era. Prayers to his family…..
And how about them Bruins??!!! Hmmm…Bruins- Sharks Stanley Cup final? I like! Game on my friend, GAME ON!!!

(3)Partial adoption of planning products.—
The Federal lead agency may adopt a planning product under paragraph (1) in its entirety or may select portions for adoption.
(c) Applicability.—

During the planning process, notice was provided through publication or other means to Federal, State, local, and tribal governments that might have an interest in the proposed project, and to members of the general public, of the planning products that the planning process might produce and that might be relied on during any subsequent environmental review process, and such entities have been provided an appropriate opportunity to participate in the planning process leading to such planning product.
After initiation of the environmental review process, but prior to determining whether to rely on and use the planning product, the lead Federal agency has made documentation relating to the planning product available to Federal, State, local, and tribal governments that may have an interest in the proposed action, and to members of the general public, and has considered any resulting comments.
There is no significant new information or new circumstance that has a reasonable likelihood of affecting the continued validity or appropriateness of the planning product.

This section shall not be construed to make the environmental review process applicable to the transportation planning process conducted under this title and chapter 53 of title 49.
(2)Transportation planning activities.—
Initiation of the environmental review process as a part of, or concurrently with, transportation planning activities does not subject transportation plans and programs to the environmental review process.

By Associated Press 6:35am, February 10, 2013 - Updated 6:36am, February 10, 2013Danny Briere scored 1:47 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
Jakub Voracek, Matt Read and Brayden Schenn also scored for Philadelphia, which went 3-0-1 on a four-game homestand.
Joe Corvo scored the tying goal in the third period, and Jiri Tlusty and Jeff Skinner also had goals for the Hurricanes, who had won two in a row.
Briere skated down the left side, made a move around the circle and fired a shot that hit the far post and trickled past goalie Cam Ward.
The game went to overtime because Ward stoned Read on a point-blank shot at the end of regulation.
The Flyers have gone 24-4-4 against the Hurricanes since Nov. 28, 2003.
Philadelphia is 5-6-1 at the quarter point of the lockout-shortened 48-game schedule. Carolina fell to 5-4-1.

The members of the Army Reserve 420th Engineer Company are headed home to Indiana. They landed in Texas this morning, will undergo about a week of debriefing, and should be home soon.
Indiana Mayor George Hood got the word this morning from the wife of a reservist. He says he wants people to plan to line the route as the buses roll into town, and he expects to know soon when that will be.
The troops left last January for deployment to Afghanistan, and they've been doing dangerous work, seeking out and neutralizing improvised explosive devices along streets and highways. Indiana's reservists have the name "Clearance" attached to their unit name to distinguish their specialized roles in clearing the way of IEDs. The mission also includes training Afghan military units to do what the Indiana reservists do.
There have been some injuries in combat situations, but no one has been killed and at last word it appeared that none of the injuries have been catastrophic.
We will let you know more as the story develops and information on the homecoming becomes available.
