The typical victim of a drug related death in England and Wales is not a clubber in his 20s or a teenager experimenting with ecstasy but a man in his 30s or 40s, the annual statistics on drug poisoning show.1
Death rates for men in their 30s are more than twice as high, at 97.8 per million, than for those in their 20s (47.6 per million) and 39 times as high as those in teenagers (2.5 per million). The figures compound suicides with deaths from drug abuse, but among males drug abuse was responsible for 1086 deaths in 2012 against 525 …

New England briefs
MONTPELIER >> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates the five-year cost of cleaning up Vermont waters is about $154 million.
The figure was contained in the 2012 Clean Watersheds Needs Survey that compiles 2012 data for wastewater and stormwater projects planned for the five years following the survey. The nationwide figure for the same period is $271 billion.
"Clean water is our most precious resource," said Alyssa Schuren, the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. "If anything, the U.S. EPA's survey understates the cost of restoring and enhancing the quality of Vermont waters. I remain committed to working with the Vermont Legislature and U.S. EPA to secure long-term clean water resources."
Both the EPA and State of Vermont contribute money to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which provides low-interest loans to municipalities for clean water projects such as upgrades to waste water treatment plants.
Some of the Vermont projects included in the EPA survey were phosphorus upgrades at the Waterbury wastewater treatment facility, the refurbishment of the Royalton wastewater treatment facility, a study of phosphorus removal options for the St. Albans wastewater treatment facility, and a needs assessment for wastewater treatment in Fairfield.
Low-interest loans for wastewater and stormwater projects for Vermont communities are available through the state's clean water state revolving fund, which receives an infusion of roughly $17 million a year from federal and state sources. The fund can be used for project planning.
The state is also working with federal agencies and private groups to reduce the amount of polluted water that reaches the state's rivers and streams from agricultural land, roads and other sources. A goal of that is to clean up Lake Champlain, but the same efforts will clean up waters in other parts of the state as well.

ATTIK Lands Wayne Hanson As Creative DirectorAward-winning art director joins San Francisco staff (October 08, 2004)
Global creative agency ATTIK today announced that Wayne Hanson, an award-winning agency art director with over 18 years of experience working with top European ad agencies, has joined the firm's full-time staff in San Francisco as creative director, effective immediately. The announcement was made by ATTIK's co-founder and global creative director Simon Needham.
Most recently working with Lowe People in Stockholm, Hanson joined that agency in 2002 from Lowe in London, where he served as art director and associate board member. One extraordinary cinema spot he wrote and produced there for The Equal Opportunities Commission entitled "Time of the Month" landed the 2003 Eurobest Gold Award, was a 2003 Cannes finalist and is honored in the World Federation of Advertisers' Hall of Fame as the Best Socially Responsible Ad of the past fifty years.
Other highlights from his eight years with Lowe include innovative account work across all media for various international European brands. In 1994, he also created the Vauxhall Corsa TV campaign that ran for nearly five years. Print and outdoor campaign elements he art directed for Vauxhall earned the Cannes Press Gold Lion and three Eurobest Gold Awards in 1997. In 1996, the Vauxhall campaign earned a One Show Silver Pencil, the Campaign Posters Silver Award, the Cannes Poster Bronze Lion and Creative Circle's Bronze Award.
The history between Hanson and ATTIK founders Needham and James Sommerville traces back to their college days in Huddersfield. The friends have always remained close, and in fact, Hanson contributed his talents to ATTIK's 2003 Scion launch campaign as a copywriter.
With ATTIK currently driving a number of initiatives to pursue new business, Needham explained, the long-awaited opportunity to bring Hanson aboard finally arrived. "My colleagues and I are very pleased to be working with our long-term college friend," Needham said. "To be able to collaborate with Wayne on our day-to-day account activities after so many years is an ideal situation for us."
"The opportunity to create great advertising on a new car brand in the world's biggest ad market was one I just couldn't miss" Hanson added.
Among his achievements during his time at Lowe People, Hanson's print work for Mercedes Benz E-Class was nominated in both the 2003 Cannes Ad Festival and the Swedish Golden Egg Awards. A TV spot he wrote, art directed and directed for Smart Car was nominated in last year's Eurobest Awards, as were two Unilever commercials he art directed and produced. With his contributions, the agency not only won Sweden's Graninge national electricity account (his subsequent campaign work earned two Cannes Print nominations earlier this year) and the Tiger of Sweden and Cirkus Cirkor accounts, it also vaulted to the ranking of sixth out of 70 in Lowe's 2004 worldwide agency review.
Hanson began his career in 1986 with Graham Poulter Advertising in Leeds. He served Manchester's BDH from 1990 until joining Lowe in 1993.

[Video] Big Bang Promotes Daesung's First Japanese Solo Album
With their fellow member venturing out with a solo album, the Big Bang members made sure to promote Daesung's D'scover album.
On February 26, Big Bang released a short video, where the members talked a bit about Daesung's album and encouraged fans to buy many copies of it.
As the members promoted the album, Daesung sauntered behind them repeatedly, being a distraction in the back.

I use Amazon bestsellers lists to see where the trends are. The Titanfall bundle is not moving as much as I expected. It is only number 10 on the list but I was expecting at least number 3. The game itself should be number 1 but it is number 6.
The UK is another story. The game is sitting pretty on number 1 but the bundle has been falling down the chart very quickly it is sitting on number 23 while the Fifa one is number 35. This surprises me since the UK got a free game and a £30 price cut. It looks like people who already own the console are buying the game but so far it is not selling thousands of systems.
It could be because the PS4 came back in stock and jumped up to 16.
Just to say again I deal with trends and there are other retailers would very well sell more units that Amazon.
Due to recent economic conditions, and the rising cost of Electricity, Gas and Oil, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

The March number will be interesting alright.
Yeah, the March numbers will be pretty good for making a future estimate.
Titanfall is pretty much the biggest release in quite some time, so the xbox numbers should show a big spike if it really is the system seller it's made out to be.
If there isn't at least some indication of catching up to ps4 or distancing from the WiiU sales, the xbox is in pretty deep water.

maybe titanfall can help the xbox one outsell the ps3 this month

So xbox sales are almost at the same level as the WiiU sales.
Ermm. A console that has been out a few months sells almost the same amount to that of a console that has been out a year.
It's like Bolt giving everyone a 5 second head start in the 100m sprint, and losing by 100ths of a second.

No, you misunderstand: it's in the weekly sales numbers, not the total sales.
In total sales, the xbox is still around 2 million behind on the WiiU and the ps4, which both sit around 5.8 million.
So to use your analogy: the xbox comes in just ahead in a 100m sprint against a guy who has already run a marathon.

blitz_0623 posted...krystyla posted...What I am saying is that MS overestimated the demand in their initial launch territories and that it is hurting them and that it is weird they aren't pushing their excess stock to new territories.
Lots of well publicized bad PR, the word that the PS4 is a good deal more powerful continues to spread after nearly every multi-platform release, even more PR train wrecks for MS, a device and features very few people care about with Kinect and pseudo cable box functionality in an era where more and more people every day are dumping cable TV in favor of online services and to top it all off the console is a hundred dollars more than its direct competition with nothing to really show for it.

And for that I will apologise.
Went with the assumption it was total, because of the PS4 total at the bottom of opening post. Did wonder why Xbox One's total wasn't listed. :/
But then I still have to disagree with the 'not good' remark towards the Xbox One. A console in a few regions selling more than one that is cheaper and in most if not all regions? Come on. :)

Those "few regions" are the regions the xbox had it's biggest consumer base the past generation.
The fact that it isn't region locked and people can import it, doesn't exactly help with the "bu-but fewer regions" argument either.
And of course, guessing that it would sell more when released in those other regions is nothing but guessing.
Facts are simple: it's on the same level sales wise as the WiiU, a console that is considered to be a failure by pretty much everyone.
The PS4 sells more than the xbox even when it costs more, as proven by the Infamous bundle.
The pricing isn't the only problem the xbox has, people just prefer to buy a ps4.

The sustenance that looks like meat, possesses a flavor like meat, yet is really veggie lover – and sold by a man called Kale
The Herbivorous Butcher in the north-eastern US condition of Minnesota is accepted to be one of the first of its kind on the planet, with its glass counters and chunks of privately sourced "meat" and "cheddar" which could trick even the most devoted flesh eater.
Energetically tricky items on offer incorporate chorizo, ribs, pepperoni, hotdogs, jerky, whelp, ham, pastrami, broil hamburger, bacon, and pulled pork. Sandwiches, soups, and in addition make-at-home packs are likewise on the menu.
The store's site guarantees that their items offer an ideal about of protein and B-vitamins that other meat choices may need.
Their choice has demonstrated so well known that the shop were as of late named for the 2016 USA Today Best Food and Drink Makers Award. In the interim, upbeat clients have been sharing pictures of the brain boggling produce on online networking.
Sibling and sister pair Kale (yes, Kale) and Aubry Walch opened up their store in the north-eastern US condition of Minneapolis a year ago.
The match have developed their business from a little remain at a nearby agriculturists market to a clamoring store because of a Kickstarter crusade which raised over £40,000.
Aubry, who has been veggie lover for right around two decades, started making sans meat other options to the nourishment that she grew up with in Guam 10 years back. Motivated by his sister, Kale later embraced the way of life, as well.
"One individual said, 'I'm a nourishment researcher, and I swear I can taste fat marbling in that frankfurter,' " Aubry as of late told the New York Times. "We will probably trick individuals into sparing the planet," she included.

Stayed at this Cleveland property for a wedding in Oct. Customer service from the check in to the check out was lacking.

Newcomer Tapped to Direct 'Valley Girl' Remake
A remake of the 1983 movie Valley Girl has been in the works for quite a while, but a director has finally been chosen, bringing the highly anticipated update a lot closer to fruition.
According to Deadline, relative newcomer Clay Weiner has reportedly landed the dream gig over several other, more well-known directors — all thanks to the reel he submitted and the song-and-dance numbers it contained. This is slated to be a musical remake, after all.
Weiner's biggest directorial credits to date include a couple episode of Spike's college-football comedy series Blue Mountain State and the 2010 Nickelodeon TV movie Fred: The Movie. He has also directed several TV commercials.
The original Valley Girl starred a very young Nicolas Cage (it was his second feature film) as a city punk who forms an unlikely relationship with a valley girl (Deborah Foreman).

Ms. BUERKLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to call attention to a looming crisis for our seniors. We are facing the very real prospect of millions of Americans losing their access to health care providers because of reductions in Medicare payments to physicians due to the flawed Sustainable Growth Rate, SGR, formula.
Mr. Speaker, on January 1, 2011, the SGR formula will trigger a 27.4 percent pay cut across the board for Medicare physician services. According to the AMA, in my home State of New York, Mr. Speaker, the cut will amount to $28,000 per physician. That loss makes it harder for physicians to pay for office staff, space, and equipment, which translates, Mr. Speaker, to decreased access to care for many patients.
Many physicians have indicated that they will no longer accept Medicare patients. Our seniors, Mr. Speaker, rely on Medicare, which they have paid into and has been there for them.
Mr. Speaker, doctors want to provide care to our seniors, and we cannot allow Medicare payment cuts to prevent doctors from serving all of their patients. Our doctors deserve better. Our seniors deserve better.

I thought by myself of this problem some time ago and forgot about it.... My thoughts included a separate object for the parameters/attributes which is always available in the objectModel. The request and response objects are untouched and only available for the servlet environment, offering the full servlet support if required. So I would suggest a new Interface for this Parameter/Attributes object which allows to query the parameters and attributes.

A huge potential for growth: Portland Port
Peter Booton visits Portland Port and takes a look behind the scenes at this increasingly successful commercial enterprise
Published in August '14
In August 1843 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert sailed into Portland Roads following a rough sea journey during which Her Majesty suffered greatly from mal de mer. The Royal Commission for Harbours of Refuge was established soon after and, due to the strategic importance of its location, Portland harbour was chosen to be the first purpose-built anchorage for the new steam powered British naval vessels.
Construction of the first two arms of the harbour's massive breakwaters and defence works was an immense feat of engineering which attracted sightseers from far and wide. Prince Albert, too, visited on a number of occasions to watch progress. The millions of tons of stone needed for the project were quarried locally by convicts and transported to the breakwaters via a specially constructed network of railways and inclined planes. It is said that the top of the 10 metre high stone stack named 'Nicodemus Knob' on East Cliff was at ground level before the vast quantities of stone were quarried for the breakwaters and the Verne Citadel which was built at much the same time. The ceremonial laying of the final stone for the first stage of the breakwater by HRH the Prince of Wales on 10th August 1872, was honoured by a Grand Review of the Combined Channel and Reserve Squadrons gathered in the harbour.
During the latter half of the 19th century Portland boasted the largest man-made harbour in the world, visited regularly by many great ships including Britain's first ocean-going battleship, HMS Warrior, which later served as Portland's guard-ship. In order to combat the increasing menace of an attack by torpedoes on ships within the harbour, two further arms of the breakwater were constructed and the works completed in 1906.
Portland Harbour played a vitally important role in both World Wars: becoming a base for seaplanes as RNAS Portland in 1917 and the embarkation point for the Grand Fleet prior to sailing for Scapa Flow in 1944. Post-war Portland became a regular port-of-call for numerous NATO vessels and earned renown as a premier training base for ship's officers and crews. A landing ground for helicopters was established and on 24th April 1959 the Royal Naval Helicopter Station was officially named HMS Osprey. However, following the departure of the Royal Navy in 1996 and the subsequent closure of HMS Osprey, Portland ceased to be an operational naval base. The name Osprey lives on, though, in Osprey Quay which is now home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
In 1996 Portland Harbour Authority took over the naval dockyard and harbour. On being created a statutory body by government legislation, the PHA was granted powers of 'control, operation, management and regulation in relation to the harbour and the harbour premises'. The Portland Harbour Revision Order of 1997 also provided for 'the development and for the safe and efficient operation of a commercial port; for harbour conservancy and maintenance; for the management and encouragement of commerce and recreation; and for the conservation of the natural beauty of the harbour and its flora and fauna'. Importantly, for the port's future, the Order also gave the PHA 'power to direct the loading or unloading of goods or passengers'. While Portland Harbour Authority acts as the statutory body that manages and regulates the water-space – 2000 acres within the breakwaters and a further 2500 acres within the outer harbour – Portland Port Limited is the commercial arm. Portland Harbour Authority and Portland Port Limited are owned by Langham Industries Limited.
The Port now handles more than 650 large vessels annually and over 600 people are employed on the dock estate, including 52 employees of the PHA. Portland Port Limited owns the 3.5 miles of Grade 2 Listed breakwaters as well as the rest of the land making up the 300 acres in total of the estate and the various berthing systems around the port. The PHA has three main departments: marine, landside and commercial, which deals with admin, finance, marketing, sales and general business development. Each department works with, and is responsible to, the Chief Executive, Steve Davies. Within the PHA there are individual managers who answer to the three main department managers and variously take charge of operations, security, engineering, planning and environment marketing, and business development.
Not only is Portland the newest commercial port in the United Kingdom, but it also has a reputation for being one of the most efficient, financially successful and fastest growing ports in the UK. Its location is all-important, being easily accessible to the busy shipping lanes to and from north-west Europe, as well as the busy shipping lanes between the UK and continental Europe. As Steve Davies says, 'It's easy to get out to sea quickly from Portland: to port for the North Sea, or starboard for the Atlantic.'
Undoubtedly this prime, sheltered south-coast location has played a significant part in attracting commercial tenants to the port. Global Marine Systems Limited, leading providers of sub-sea cable installations and maintenance, were Portland Port's first big commercial client. Aegean Oil, another well-established large international customer, handles some 300,000 tonnes of fuel oil annually at Portland where there are 40,000 tonnes of available tank storage built into the nearby hillside, thanks to the Royal Navy. Aegean has built their own bunkering station on the end of the breakwater where most of their tankers are based. As regards refuelling and other essential facilities for visiting vessels, Portland has a significant advantage over the south-coast bunkering port of Falmouth in that its inner harbour is protected from the prevailing south-westerly winds by its more sheltered location. Consequently, Portland's bunkering service can operate all year round.
Portland Port is open 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Its fully manned range of marine services available for visiting vessels include piloting, towage and vessel traffic control in addition to berth and landside services. PHA is also adept at dealing with marine emergencies and salvage. On average, three salvaged vessels are towed into the harbour each year. When the MSC Napoli ran aground off the Devon coast in January 2007, a major part of its cargo was brought into Portland Port and stored.
The port's tenants are all businesses that have a relationship with shipping, cargo, or replenishment of ships. One of the biggest tenants is Manor Marine, an engineering company that maintains and repairs ships and has recently diversified into shipbuilding. Food, charts and waste disposal are other important facilities that visiting ships regularly require. Steve Davies says: 'One of the port's main functions is to provide the interface between marine and land-based transport for the international passage of goods and passengers.'
As part of their statutory duty to 'encourage the development and use of the harbour as a centre of employment and economic activity', in July 2013 the PHA unveiled plans for a £50 million ship repair yard and associated floating dry dock facilities. All the necessary legal consents have been obtained and it is anticipated that the project will create more than 300 jobs for local people, as well as possibly a further 700 jobs in the associated supplier industries. An invitation to invest in this development opportunity as a ship repair yard partner has been offered to numerous existing international shipyards and to date more than ten expressions of interest have been received. The opportunity offers many significant advantages, as Steve Davies explains. "We're a deep water port on the south coast and there aren't many ship repair facilities operating that can take big ships, especially when you're on the main shipping lane in and out of the European Union. Geographically we're in a fantastic position, but we do need to expand our facility to lift big ships out of the water." Steve also points out that with a good lifting capability and a large 'Panamax' dock the facilities at Portland would meet the requirements of the Royal Navy and other world navies as well as large cross-channel ferries.
In recent years Portland has become a favoured destination for international cruise ships. Early this century the port was attracting just a few cruise ships annually, but since then Portland has seen ever increasing numbers of ships and passengers year on year. Following on from a record-breaking season in 2012 when nine cruise liners berthed at Portland (seven of which were maiden calls), 2013 set a new record with 19 cruise calls and over 20,000 passengers welcomed to the quayside. 2014 is set to break the records again with 20 calls booked and 24,000 passengers expected. Last year Portland received an award from Cruise Insight Magazine for 'Most Improved Destination' in recognition of the 'great improvement in the last few years; future focussed port and marketing management, good geographical location and good entrance to the Jurassic Coast.' At present, existing berths can accept ships up to 300 metres in length. However, a planned extension to the cruise berths will accommodate most of the global fleet of vessels up to 350 metres.
On arrival at the port, cruise ship passengers are welcomed by Portland Town Crier and entertained by local musicians on the quayside. On departure passengers are bade farewell by cannon fire, courtesy of the Nothe Fort Artillery. Whilst in port, day call passengers may choose to remain on their ship, take a courtesy shuttle bus into Weymouth, or venture further afield on excursion coaches to destinations such as Abbotsbury, Bath, Salisbury, Stonehenge and the Jurassic Coast.
Commercial and industrial activities are the life-blood of Portland Port, the income from which pays for the extensive maintenance of the breakwaters and the berths. Surprisingly, perhaps, less than 4% of the port's income is derived from leisure and recreational activities which are all managed and regulated by the PHA, including the marina and Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. Inevitably, Portland Harbour Authority played a major role in the 2012 Olympics and controlled all the water-sports. Steve Davies says, "It was great to co-operate with all the other agencies involved, including Dorset Police, LOCOG and Weymouth Port Authority. We all worked together very constructively to make sure the event was successful. There were no incidents and commercial activities at the port carried on with hardly any disturbance during the Olympics."
Portland Port's technologically advanced control room played an important part in maintaining security for the Olympics by allowing Dorset Police to monitor everything going on in the harbour with full CCTV coverage. Camera systems in the control room are so powerful that they can read the name on a large ship up to 12 miles away, while a sophisticated radar plotter not only shows all 'targets' in the English Channel, but can also name each vessel and its owner – a useful feature employed by the port's marketing team to encourage ships to call in to Portland en route. The CCTV cameras can also be set to track a vessel as it approaches Portland and sound an alarm at a certain point to alert pilots, if required.
Portland Port is clearly a 21st century success story with a very positive future and a huge potential for growth that can only benefit Portland itself and the wider area of Dorset in terms of the economy and employment opportunities. ◗

My family and I live in Essex and enjoy travelling and sporting activities.
Mrs Joanne Hughes purchased this villa in 2008
We were looking to buy a property abroad so we could have a special place to be together as a family and this villa was just ideal. The property is right in the heart of the resort, making all the fabulous amenities within walking distance, this includes not only the shops and restaurants, but also the hotel, spa, golf club and tennis courts. Even though we are so close to everything it is also very peaceful and you can sit on the roof terrace every evening and watch the sun set over the sea.
The villa is only a 15 minute drive from Paphos airport and local villages, bars and shops are all within easy reach. There is only one step up to the villa and then the rest of the interior and sun terrace is on one level. The pool can be reached by going down a couple of steps and the roof terrace is reached by an external staircase. The views from the roof terrace are superb so we have purchased an additional dining table and chairs along with a sofa and armchairs to make to most of the views and sea breeze.
I would just like to say a quick thank you for the use of your Villa in Aphrodite Hills. The villa was perfect for the 4 of us and we enjoyed a fantastic "Lads Golfing Trip" We could walk to the golf, walk to the Tennis, walk to the Restaurants and enjoy a few beers all in glorious sunshine . On a spare afternoon we hired a speedboat and that was awesome too. All in all it was Great value, Great facilities and we look forward to going back again.
We attended a wedding at the resort and hired your lovely villa for the week. It was just fabulous. My husband played golf and I had a wonderful pamper session in the spa. The resort facilities are fabulous and the surrounding area is lovely. Sure we will be back again soon.
My family and I have just returned from a great holiday in your villa. The children had great fun in the pool and it was so easy just to stroll over to the local resort restaurants in the evening.
The villa was lovely and it is in a great location on this complex. The pool is fantastic. We loved it, we will be back.
Immaculate villa with everything you need. Alphrodites hills was such a lovely complex and staff were really nice welcoming us and explaining everything. We stayed just over a week and the pool was cleaned twice. I would most definately recommend this villa and we will definitely be hoping to visit again. Thank you.
We stayed in the villa over easter and the villa is really lovely. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed having lunch on the roof terrace and enjoying the sun. The location was about a 3 minutes walk to the square where there was a selection of resturants, which was perfect for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Lovely villa on well kept and safe golf complex. Aphrodite's Rock and beach is only a couple of miles away. Paphos and Limassol within easy reach. Pissouri is also a lovely hilltop village. Excellent internet connection and movie channels.
Very impressed with villa position and all internal furnishings and facilities. Managing agent was more than helpful and looked after us really well.
Lots to do and see at this 5 star resort and in central Pathos which was 30 minutes away. Very relaxing and have recommended to friends and family already. We would definitely stay at this villa again.
From the moment of enquiring about the villa, through to staying there everything was 1st rate...... Cannot fault anything about the stay. Joanne was really helpful and the villa itself was beautifully appointed and very well maintained. I have no idea why it has taken nearly 12 months to write this review and can only apologise to Joanne!!!!!!!!!

ATLANTA -- We didn't need a radar gun to know there was something amiss with Roy Halladay, who left his start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday after two innings because of shoulder soreness. The hitters were telling us that, with more aggressive swings against him, with significantly better results.
This month, Halladay has allowed 44 hits and 24 runs in 35.1 innings, including five homers in his last three starts. This is a pitcher who allowed only 10 homers for the entire 2010 season. Hitters are swinging, and they are not missing.
But the radar gun has been providing clues, too. Halladay's velocity has been down this year, as Fangraphs.com notes.
As Phillies' officials and coaches go to work today, they have no idea what they'll get out of Halladay for the rest of this season, just as they don't know what they could draw from Ryan Howard (who is improving) or Chase Utley.
The Phillies are in last place in the NL East, but that standing is deceptive; Philadelphia has been playing much better of late, with 10 wins in their past 15 games, and they have climbed over .500, to 25-24.
The Phillies are five games out of first place, in a division that has been steamrollered by injuries: The Nationals have lost Jayson Werth, Drew Storen and others, while the Braves have lost the middle of their lineup over the past 10 days.
The Phillies have reached a crossroads, and have decisions to make.
They could stand pat with their current roster, and look for a Halladay replacement from within. Vance Worley has seemingly made progress as he works his way back from arm trouble, and if he steps back into the Philadelphia rotation, the Phillies could plow ahead with a five-man staff of Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Joe Blanton (who has been dangled in trade talks for a lot of the past two years, but suddenly seems indispensable), Kyle Kendrick and Worley -- with the hope that Halladay comes back, after benefiting from a shutdown.
The Phillies could be the team that jumps on Roy Oswalt, the most prominent free-agent pitcher still available. All winter, teams thought that Oswalt had priced himself beyond his actual worth; last year, the right-hander threw 139.2 innings, while dealing with back trouble. He had a 3.69 ERA, and his 1.34 WHIP -- respectable for sure -- was the worst of his career. Some club evaluators have viewed the 34-year-old Oswalt as someone from whom you could expect about 100 innings, with a significant risk for more back trouble.
The Phillies already have a record payroll, at $173 million -- which is about double what it was in 2007. Oswalt could cost something in the range of $5 million to $7 million, and he is probably weeks away from being ready to rejoin a rotation.
By the time Oswalt is ready to pitch in the big leagues, the trade market could loosen up, and the likes of Ryan Dempster will be up for grabs. In getting someone like a Dempster or a Shaun Marcum, the Phillies would have to part with prospects from a farm system already thinned by trades for Halladay and Lee in recent years.
There is another option for the Phillies, of course -- an option that is almost certainly out of the question. They could decide that because of Halladay's injury, along with the uncertainty about what Utley and Howard might give them, the Phillies could be aggressive sellers. They could market possible free agents Hamels and Shane Victorino, to add to their farm system.
For the readers: If you were running the Phillies, would you:
A. Stand pat, and try to grind it out and buy time for something to change?
B. Call Oswalt today and get him signed?
C. Move aggressively in the trade market for someone such as Dempster?
D. Begin to turn over the roster and trade off the likes of Hamels?
The guess here is that the Phillies will check again on Oswalt's price, while standing pat. We'll see.
Charlie Manuel acknowledged his concern after Halladay's exit Sunday, writes Bob Brookover. From Bob's story:
- Pitching coach Rich Dubee removed Halladay from the game after the second inning because he did not like what he was seeing on the mound and he already knew that the righthander was experiencing soreness.
"I know he's had a cranky shoulder," Dubee said. "He hasn't looked right and he didn't look right today. I knew he wasn't going to come out of the game. I basically said that was enough."
Halladay said he first felt soreness "about halfway through" his previous start against the Washington Nationals.
"We checked everything out, and strength and stuff was fine," Halladay said. "But we were just careful this week, cut back on throwing, did all the normal stuff [to deal with soreness]. You have this stuff from time to time and you know most of the time if you take care of it, it kind of goes anyway."
Dubee indicated that Halladay's soreness dates from beyond his last start.
"Yeah, it's been an issue," he said. "It's been there. It's been lingering. Some days it's better than others. Chicago was better than others. Even the start of the last game it was better and then got cranky. Today, warming up he felt fine, but as he got into the game and sat down and even before the first inning, it was just hard to get it going again."

Small-Town Loyalty
Three Michigan BP dealers offer rewards program
CALUMET, Mich. -- North Star BP, a coalition of three dealer-operated Copper County, Mich.-based Amoco Food Shops, has established a loyalty program with the help of local businesses.
The Advantage Club program, launched to coincide with BP's recent rebranding efforts in the region, will reward loyal customers with prizes from a member catalog.
Jon Marson, president of North Star BP, has secured more than 40 types of rewards for the member catalog from local businesses. "We developed the prize catalog with our regular customers in mind, and the response from the community has been fantastic," Marson noted. Points may currently be redeemed for such items as value meals at Burger King, DVD players from Kirkish Furniture, sports equipment from Keweenaw Motor Sports, an oil and filter change from Fast Track Lube Center, 6-inch subs from Subway and branded clothing from Michigan Tech. Additional prizes are available from Deforge Auto, Herman Jewelers, Country Cottage Jewelers, Perkins Family Restaurant, Jim's Pizza in Calumet, Sayen's Auto Sales and North Star BP.
As an extra bonus, members become eligible to win an instant prize every time they use their North Star BP Advantage Cards in the store. Vendors and suppliers have provided more than 4,000 prizes for distribution during the first three months of the program, including Pepsi products, Frito-Lay chips, Coca-Cola products, Nestle candy bars, Burger King menu items, cappuccinos, and car washes from Wilderness Car Wash. Wilderness Car Wash is also supplying catalog items.
"The Advantage Club has been designed to say 'thank you' to our regular customers," Marson explained. "We wanted to give them something different and exciting, which is why we chose the Visible Results Platform. Displaying the point totals and results of the instant-win games on the card after every transaction adds a lot of excitement to the Club for our members. It also allows us to advertise new products, new rewards and new program partners very easily as the points are updated, which gives extra exposure to the partners that are supporting the Advantage Club."
The program is based on the GraphiCard loyalty technology and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system from Visible Results USA, an Overland Park, Kan.-based subsidiary of the Visible Results Group of Companies of Auckland, New Zealand. Program members' cards are inserted into a smart point-of-sale terminal during each sales transaction. Thermo-chromic processes enable the front of the card to display points garnered through the most recent purchase, along with other data, customized for each client, which can include targeted offers, details of special promotions and sales, advertising messages, particulars of instant win games, and more.

BANGOR – On Jan. 5, 2014, Mary, beloved wife of Daniel Hall, passed away peacefully, at age 61, after a long battle with a debilitating illness. Mary was a beautiful soul who enjoyed life to the fullest. Her smile and fantastic sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

A special thank you and deep gratitude goes out to the wonderful and compassionate staff at the B Unit of the Bangor Maine Veteran's Home. The B Unit staff worked continually to give the highest level of care, respect, and dignity to Mary throughout her long illness.
