A medical emergency can happen anywhere. We can get you home. As a Classic Medjet member, if you are hospitalized 150 miles or more from home and meet medical transport criteria, MedjetAssist will arrange air medical transfer to the hospital of your choice in your home country, from virtually anywhere in the world. All you ever pay is your membership fee.
A Classic Medjet membership is your affordable, reliable peace of mind when you venture away from home, whether you're in San Diego or Santiago. Learn more >
In a medical emergency, you don't want to be stuck in a faraway hospital. You want to get all the way home, to the hospital you trust. Yet most kinds of travel medical insurance, platinum card programs and medical evacuation insurance will only get you to the closest hospital they deem medically adequate.
To get home, to your hospital, you need something more. You need MedjetAssist.
A Classic Medjet Membership gives you the greatest possible control of your healthcare, without the restrictions of travel insurance and medical evacuation insurance, or the multi-thousand-dollar price tag of air ambulance services.
Domestic air ambulance medical evacuations typically exceed $10,000, while international air ambulance medical evacuations can exceed $100,000. Yet travel medical insurance and medical evacuation insurance companies often place inadequately low caps on medical transportation or air ambulance expenses.
MedjetAssist does not place caps on air medical transport expenses, and all our members ever pay is their annual membership fee.
Your health, your safety, your security — it's all here with MedjetHorizon, the new standard in global travel protection. MedjetHorizon offers the most comprehensive medical transport, travel security and crisis response travel protection available. If you want unprecedented control of your safety in a travel emergency, you need a MedjetHorizon Membership.
A MedjetHorizon Membership includes all the medical benefits of a Classic Medjet Membership, plus worldwide travel security and crisis response services. Learn more >
The safer you feel, the more you can focus on the moment. Especially when you travel.
That's why a MedjetHorizon Membership makes travel a more rewarding experience. Our members can call for help sooner, and in more situations. So they leave more worries behind.
Unlike other global rescue membership programs, MedjetHorizon does not depend on hard triggers, such as official government-issued evacuation mandates, to act on behalf of our members. We took a different approach. MedjetHorizon gives MedjetAssist the flexibility to respond to our members on a case-by-case basis.
A MedjetHorizon Membership gives you unprecedented control of your medical care, your safety and your security in a crisis, virtually anywhere in the world.

RIALTO – Another landmark settlement has been reached in the cleanup of a contaminated site in the north end of the city.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that Goodrich Corp. will pay at least $21.5 million for work to clean up perchlorate and trichloroethylene contamination at the 160-acre B.F. Goodrich Superfund Site.
Mayor Deborah Robertson called it a historic settlement.
"I'm glad that we've come to a conclusion and one that we will be able to finally begin to make whole the ratepayers who were instrumental in allowing us to pursue this litigation and allow us to get to this point of resolution and closure," Robertson said.
The settlement between Goodrich and the U.S. government calls for the company to do its part in investigating and cleaning up a site – at Casa Grande Drive and Locust Avenue – that could cost up to $100 million in work.
Goodrich must pay to install additional groundwater monitoring wells and complete testing and engineering surveys.
Well installation and testing is expected to begin this summer and continue into 2014, officials from the EPA said.
Results from those tests will be used to help the EPA develop a cleanup plan that is expected to be available for public comment in 2015, according to EPA officials.
Goodrich also must build and operate cleanup facilities approved by the EPA. The design and construction could take at least two years, according to EPA officials.
The EPA said Goodrich is responsible for making sure the cleanup work is finished no matter the cost.
The company will be able to get financial help from the Department of Defense and settlement proceeds from other parties.
Work could take at least 30 years, EPA officials said.
Officials with the EPA said the scope of the cleanup hasn't been determined. Similar groundwater contamination sites in Southern California have cost more than $40 million to clean up, they " said.
The EPA Superfund site in Rialto was added to the National Priorities List in September 2009. The agency is proposing to change the name to the Locust Avenue Superfund Site.
Perchlorate is a rocket fuel additive that when in water can hinder the thyroid gland's ability to produce hormones needed for growth.
Trichloroethylene, or TCE, is an industrial solvent that in high levels can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs and liver.
B.F. Goodrich produced solid-fuel rocket propellant at the site from about 1957 to 1962. Goodrich and others contaminated soil and groundwater with TCE and perchlorate, the EPA " said.
Drinking water wells were closed in Rialto and Colton because of the contamination. But EPA officials now say drinking water in the area is safe.
"The water remains safe to drink," said Wayne Praskins, the EPA's project manager for the site. "We're dealing with a historical problem and working to clean up the groundwater so that it can be used in the future without additional treatment," he said.
Rialto joined with Colton and San Bernardino County in the Goodrich settlement. The cities sued Goodrich in 2004 and 2005, with the EPA joining the court fight in 2010 in order to require the cleanup and recoup federal money spent at the site.
Goodrich officials could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.
The EPA announced in December that nine companies and the Defense Department agreed to pay roughly $50 million to clean the 160-acre site. Emhart Industries was part of the agreement, which included Pyro Spectaculars and others.
The agreement called for Emhart to take responsibility for the first part of the cleanup.
Settlements related to the Superfund site have been years in the making. Former Councilman Ed Scott was instrumental in the process, including working with Congress on the issue.Scott couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday, but Robertson praised his work, and that of past city councils. "I think it's great that we've finally come to a resolution on something that's going to be a benefit to the community long-term," Robertson said.

K'naan Waves His Flag
Some of the best story lines coming out of this year's World Cup aren't about sport at all. They're about people rising above their circumstances, creating something new, defying their genre, being recognized for their talents.
Such is the case with K'naan. The poet and hip-hot artist's song "Wavin' Flag" is now the official theme song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
A Somali-born Canadian who grew up in Mogadishu before immigrating to North America at the age of 13, he takes an unexpected
tact tack when writing lyrics. K'naan doesn't see much sense, he says, in glorifying the violence and strife that surrounded him in his childhood like many American rappers:
"There wasn't a voice that understood the, ya know, the gratitude that comes from survival. There wasn't a voice in music that was doing that."
There's much more to K'naan's story, his art, and his approach to life. Here are three strong pieces I found helpful in learning more about him. Over at Sound Opinions, he demonstrates some Somali poetry styles to Greg and Jim and talks more about his responsibility in addressing the violence and reality he witnessed.
Also, this 2005 profile piece by Sue Carter Flinn in The Coast covers a lot of ground. And it's fair and thoughtful in the language chosen and scenes described. It has just a little bit more. For example, read Eliott McLaughlin's description of a story K'naan often tells:
"At age 11, he accidentally blew up his school with a hand grenade he mistook for an old, dirty potato."
Now read Carter Flinn's account:
"One day after school, at age 10, during the daily ritual of washing the Qur'an lessons off an ancient wooden slate, he uncovered a live grenade that exploded and destroyed half of his school."
And, giving CNN its props, check out the video to the right. I enjoyed watching K'naan just actually sit and talk about his work and how he's processing his recent success, especially his song being honored at such a big event.
I hope you enjoy this week's Friday video snack.

Being a judge on Arab Idol [2] must be a tough job for soft-hearted singer Nancy Ajram [3]. During a recent episode of the talent show, the songstress started crying when a contestant named Mirna sang "Hatmanalo il Khier" (I wish him well), and she couldn't stop the tears 'til the end of the song.
According to The Kuwaiti newspaper "Al Anbaa", Nancy blamed the waterworks on the difficulty of having to choose between talented contestants, but the gossip mill started tweeting rumors that the true cause was that Nancy and her hubby Doctor Fadi Al Hashem were splitting up.
This isn't the first time Nancy has had to backlash a rumor of marital woes [4], so she knew what to do. She posted a pic of her adorb fam walking the streets of Beirut, including her hubby and two daughters. Take that gossip junkies, Nancy's got pictorial proof that they are still one big happy family.
What do you think was the reason for Nancy's tears? Share with us your thoughts!

After the first down week in ages, nothing refreshes like a look at the charts. When they are all going up pretty much in unison, the charts do not have a lot of added value. But when we have a decline, particularly a midweek decline including an intraday calamity, they have terrific value. We can see what's gotten vulnerable, what's pulled back and ready to go, what's overextended and what's just plain old broken down. For the record, I use the S&P's Trendline (hard copy) Daily Action Stock Charts, as I have for 26 years, hand delivered Saturday. They measure stocks using 30-week and 10- week moving averages and, while I am not a chartist, I always respect the profession, as Karen Cramer, whom I worked with for years and years, was a fabulous technician and she took these very same charts and generated a host of charts that she liked and didn't like and then told me to find research on any of them to come up with potential trading ideas. I like to divide the charts among those I think represent pullback opportunities, those that seem overextended, ones that appear to be on the precipice, and stocks that are breaking down hideously. I then try to find patterns among them that can justify the depictions presented. Of course, not everything shoehorns, but often the buckets make sense because of specific group issues that have arisen into the selloff. So, let's start with the best-in-show charts, looking for ones I think, to borrow a phrase from the old research department at the old firm that was Pru, are twice-blessed: good-looking chart matched up with intriguing fundamentals. The best-looking group coming out of the selloff, BY FAR, is the banks, specifically the regional banks. I am struck by how so many of the regionals, Fifth Third ( FITB), First Horizon ( FHN), Key ( KEY) (an Action Alerts PLUS name) Huntington Bancshares ( HBAN) and even Wells Fargo ( WFC) look. I think that's the tipoff that lending is coming back. Watch this group after Bernanke talks at 10:00 a.m. ET Tuesday on Capitol Hill. Given the immense number of downgrades and number cuts the group has withstood, there might be something bigger going on here than just the same old pat worries about shrinking net interest margins.

Strategize to Immunize
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate April as Childhood Immunizations Month in Fairfax County.

Public Health Week
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate April 2-8 as Public Health Week in Fairfax County.

Wear a Blue Ribbon – Support the Cause
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Fairfax County. Keeping children safe from abuse and neglect is a primary goal of the Fairfax County Department of Family Services. The Blue Ribbon Campaign supports this goal. A family history of physical abuse, substance abuse, mental health problems and the stresses of financial difficulties are risk factors for child abuse and neglect. The county's Child Protective Services 24-hour hotline received more than 27,000 calls last year. More than half of those calls were requests for help, guidance and referrals to parenting programs and support services offered by the county and community organizations.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google ( GOOG) shares rose 0.53% to $701.28 as the company released its maps app for Apple's ( AAPL) iPhone. Earlier this year Apple controversially replaced Google Maps with its own maps app when it released iOS 6. Apple Maps has been a bit of a black eye for Apple, forcing the company to apologize. Such was the furore over Apple Maps that CEO Tim Cook wrote a public apology on the tech giant's Web site. "At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers," Cook wrote as part of the letter, adding that Apple Maps fell short of this commitment. "We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better." The maps fiasco ultimately led to the ouster of Apple's head of iOS, Scott Forstall, in a major shakeup. Google noted on its blog that the new app is a lot better than its predecessor, and Apple's offering. "At the heart of this app is our constantly improving map of the world that includes detailed information for more than 80 million businesses and points of interest," Google wrote on its blog.
Apple shares were lower on not only the Google map news, but also reports that the company has been accused of violating certain patents. Bloomberg News tweeted that a U.S. court has ruled that Apple's iPhone infringes upon three patents from MobileMedia, a company which owns a slew of technology-related patents. Apple shares were off 1.88% to $529.11 in Thursday trading.
Facebook ( FB) shares jumped 1.04% to $27.87 on rumors the social network would be included in the S&P 500, as Topeka Capital Markets analyst Victor Anthony speculated in a research note. "We see three catalysts for Facebook in 2013: 1) monetizing Instagram; 2) launch of the search engine; and 3) potential S&P 500 inclusion. We assign a greater than 50% probability to each occurring at various points in 2013, with the first two, positively impacting 2014 estimates," Anthony wrote in the note. Facebook recently joined the Nasdaq 100, with the social network replacing Infosys ( INFY) in the index. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull

CAPITOLA -- A roomful of people broke into applause at the Capitola Community Center Wednesday night when Target regional development manager John Dewes announced the retailer will stop illuminating two bright red bulls-eye signs advertising the store at night.
"The one facing Clares (Street) and the one facing onto Capitola (Road)," he specified. "They will still be visible but there will be no illumination."
About 25 attended the meeting called by county Supervisor John Leopold, who represents Live Oak homeowners upset about red lights shining into their yards at night.
John Silva, who lives on Sommerfeld Avenue, put together a 90-second video of photos taken at night of the signs, accompanied by Sting singing "Roxanne."
Leopold turned off the lights in the room as the music played.
"I think people get the point," he said. "The concern is a legitimate concern, to have a full moon in your yard every night."
He noted 70 people signed an online petition about Target's lighted signs.
"Obviously there's still an issue," said Dewes. "We do take that seriously. We feel like we are a member of the community here so when there's a problem it resonates with us."
He said the decision to not illuminate the two signs came after meetings with management, a design review group and marketing.
"It may take a couple days to a week to get it set up," he said. "If it's not done in a week, contact the city."
Susan Westman, Capitola's general plan coordinator, was in the room along with Capitola Mayor Stephanie Harlan.
The second topic of the night, "the hole in the wall" between residents in Live Oak and the Capitola Mall, was not so easily solved.
Leopold proposed two plans each involving creating a mural for the wall to "enliven the space and create ownership" to deter taggers."
Some residents had favored blocking the hole in the wall but Leopold contended it creates an access for people walking and bicycling that he did not want to eliminate.
"From a policy perspective, it's good to encourage people to get out of their cars and bike and walk," he said. "Not everybody agrees, but if we do one of these plans I hope you'll feel good about it."
After 45 minutes of discussion, Leopold proposed starting off with a mural, installing three lights, improving the asphalt, blocking the "L" of the wall that creates a hiding place, installing a ramp by the sidewalk and removing a tree that is bumping up the sidewalk.
Gary and Sue Shankland, who bought a house on Coffee Lane in 1977 before the mall was built, agreed those changes would be an improvement.
John Presleigh of the county Public Works Department estimated the cost would be up to $60,000 with the timetable possibly late summer.
"This is a significant investment," Leopold said, noting $10,000 has been allocated solely for the mural.
He asked residents to sign up for a committee to work on the mural, and several voiced interest in doing that.
Leopold also promised to look into a problem access at 30th Avenue and Axford Road and ask for more patrols by deputies there.

Any large modern suburban city is going to have a lot of chains on its wide main roads. Go to an Atlanta or Dallas and they'll have a billion chains too.
I like Quinn a lot, maybe its having watched so many of the other announcers around the league in the early days of league pass but I really appreciate what he brings. You have no idea how bad most of the leagues color commentators are. Sure there are some good or even great ones out there but most are TERRIBLE and major league homers who's players never ever do anything wrong (think heat fans)
I miss the raw feed version of league pass it was really fun seeing the behind the scenes stuff.
On the Indy food thing I live in Fort Wayne and we have a ton of great local restaurants but I still like coming to Indy and trying their locally owned restaurants. I don't even live there and I have found lots of great places to eat in Indy.
LeBron and Wade clearly focus on Lance's antics. The thing is... I bet they'd love to have him on the Heat. Honestly, LeBron + Lance would be absolutely devastating.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Because he is constantly sticking up for the officials, even when the make the most terrible of calls. He will just say "well they just missed it" as if its so nonchalant. Even when perpetual nice guy Denari seems to be getting fed up with officials, Quinn just shuts him down. "Well thats the call he seen at the time". I get that Quinn has a point, and that officials rarely change a call....well except when Lebron or Wade tell them to. But he needs to acknowledge to the fans that yes the Pacers have been told to bend over this quarter, and there is nothing they can do about but just play through it. He likes to focus on the "Just play through it" part.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
No, I don't want Quinn to be a homer like you are proposing. HE criticizes the officials when necessary.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
So you want our commentators to be as annoying as the Celtics/Bulls commentators?
Change is neither good or bad, it simply is.
Quinn sometimes drives me nearly insane with that silly giggle of his, but the point of view he still has as a non-superstar point guard on a championship caliber team is refreshing. Quinn still sees the game through a players eye, IMO and not so much from a fan's point of view. I get really upset at referees(I was born a UK fan) and angry when their opinion doesn't match mine, but I don't think they are sold out to any team.(Although some of the calls Miami gets makes my faith waver)
Except that is not what he said.
He said Quinn sticks up for refs and their missed calls too much. He did not say that Quinn should be an outright homer.
The reason I don't like Quinn as an announcer has nothing to do with homer-ism or officials. He's knows basketball, he is a very nice man, it's not that.
He is a HORRIBLE communicator, he bumble and stumbles everything. Drives me freaking crazy, seems like a dozen times a game he will say "he did that" or "he was going to do this" then he always says "He meaning whom ever he was talking about". Just say the freaking name to begin with, he's not being paid by the word and the viewers knows whom the hell he's talking about in the first place. He over explains most everything and then glosses over things that he maybe should explain. Every other word out of his mouth has something to do with rhythm, whether it applys to the situation or not. He laughs uncontrollably at the silliest stuff.
I could make a very long list of the things I hate about his announcing, but I won't. It's just my opinion I don't care if everyone on the planet likes him, I DON"T. The dislike just grows larger every game.
I would turn the sound off and play the radio, but the delay is so much different it just doesn't work right.

The problem with Indy food is purely reputation. It doesn't have a reputation for a strong local cuisine, so people don't go out of their way to find local restaurants.
3 finals appearances, and 2 championships...it doesn't get much better than what they've already done together. The last thing the Heat need is another ball handler, they would probably love to have a stretch 4 that can guard bigs and take Shane Battier's place if anything.
Never said anything about their accomplishments. Just saying they'd love Stephenson on their team. Wade is a walking infirmary. I think about Lance and LeBron in the open court and think "wow".
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Just out of curiosity though, are there any color guys you do like? What I have found is that a lot of former players do not necessarily have the best grammar or speaking personalities when it comes to announcing.
Winning this game goes a long way in ensuring that we won't have to hear this during a timeout in Game 7:
Very few good tenderloins inside 465. Closest I've found is the Mug n Bun on 10th and Lynhurst.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I don't know about that. Seems to me like Wade and LeBron absolutely hate Stephenson, so I doubt they would want him on the Heat
Seems like one too many individuals that both thrive (handling the ball, getting to the basket) and struggle (shooting the ball, spacing the floor) at the same things to me
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Ok....let's say I need more on the East side. Plenty of Mexican and Pizza joints but other than Jockamo (sp) and McGinley's Golden Ace there ain't nuttin (I will start searching out Mass Ave).
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.

I've went through many putters in my days of DG. I've had a pattern of this: Find a new putter and get really excited, practice a lot, and see a boost in putting...Get bored over time, go through a slump, and switch.
I'm now going on my 8th month with my Organic Voodoo, and I cannot see myself switching again. I love this putter, and the more it breaks in, the better it gets. It is so straight and comes out of my hand so cleanly that I'm putting better than I ever have. During my tournament last weekend I was making crazy putts in the wind, through gaps, running everything from 60-70', making a couple and never going more than 15' past...This disc is amazing. I also use it for almost every approach shot from 200' and in, and I let it float then drop and I always feel like it gives me a chance and lands by the basket. My approach/putt has never been better and my DG game never more consistent.
I know there are some more Voodoo lovers out there, so here is your chance to sound off.

Palo Alto school board members appeared underwhelmed this week when presented with a plan to add nearly $2 million of new school staffing mostly new teachers.
The district's finance chief Cathy Mak said she had consulted with stakeholder groups, the district's strategic plan and a previously voted-on set of board values in arriving at her recommendation to add nine new teaching positions, a new librarian, four new tech-support jobs and an additional 2.5 full-time-equivalent workers in the district office.
But board members at Tuesday's meeting appeared to be searching for a greater sense of vision.
"For me what's missing here is the big picture," board member Melissa Baten Caswell said.
"We have 'x' amount of money that we can spend this year. It would be good to hear what are our biggest leverage points, and is that why these things were chosen? Are these our biggest leverage points?
"Once you divide it up here, it's kind of like spreading peanut butter around."
Superintendent Kevin Skelly acknowledged "there's a bit of peanut butter in this work" but said additions like allowing a high school library to stay open until 5 p.m. "add real value."
New teachers will "provide more differentiation for students, and I know that additional reading specialists will lead to more students being able to read," Skelly said. "We're giving sites some resources that are going to enable them to do this."
Consultations with principals, he said, had helped define the best "leverage points" for the added money.
The $1.9 million in additions amounts to slightly more than 1 percent of the district's $170 million operating budget for 2013-14. The proposal would add 6.05 full-time-equivalent teaching positions at the high school level; 1.55 FTEs at the middle school level and 1.8 FTEs in elementary reading specialists, amounting to 0.15 FTE for each of the 12 elementary schools, Mak said.
Additionally, Mak proposed adding $135,000 for elementary campus supervision, one FTE for high school library staffing, four FTEs in technology support and an additional 2.5 FTEs for payroll and attendance in the district office.
Several members questioned the level of investment in tech support, noting other areas of apparent need, such as reducing class sizes for elementary P.E. and allowing music teachers who travel from school to school to offer specialized sessions.
Before a final vote on the additions, board members asked Skelly to return with a list of the board values they'd voted on earlier, as well as items restored in the budget last spring and information on what school staffing levels were prior to years of cuts that ended in 2012.
"I have no reservations about the merits of these recommendations," board member Barb Mitchell said. "What would be helpful would be to have some context."
Given the widely varying enrollment sizes of elementary schools (Ohlone is the largest at 608 and Barron Park the smallest at 341), Mitchell also said new resource allocations should account for the variation.
"These are not investments that will change something dramatically," Caswell said of the proposal. "We talked earlier in the year about having some investments that would really make a difference, or at least having a vision around that, and I want to make sure there's still an intent of thinking about that."

If the Pacers drop Pollard off on the Hawks, with no salary in return, willl they then have enough free cap space to sign someone to the full MLE without going over the luxury tax threshold?
That's what a guy is saying on RealGM
LINKIt IS worth noting here that the reason why Indy has not used its MLE is because they are JUST BELOW the luxury tax threshold. If they dump Pollard and receive no salary in return--which is possible here, since the Hawks have quite a bit of cap room right now ($6-$7 mil, I believe), they can absorb the contract--the Pacers will suddenly be able to use their entire MLE. Who might they sign? STROMILE SWIFT. Why not? Jerry West might match it, but it's worth a shot, isn't it?
If that's true, than Indy should do it no questions asked, especialy if they can get a 2nd rounder in return.

Texas Game Warden Dies During Search-and-Rescue Operation
EDITORS: 2nd Ld-Writethru
GLEN ROSE, Texas — Texas Game Warden Teyran "Ty" Patterson, 28, died in the line of duty Wednesday, May 30 during a search-and-rescue operation on the Paluxy River near here. Patterson drowned after his boat capsized in floodwaters. He was transported to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth and pronounced dead there Wednesday morning.
"Ty died doing what he loved. He died serving a Texas family dealing with its own tragic loss," said Col. Pete Flores, Law Enforcement Division director with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "We are going to miss this courageous young game warden, and our hearts and prayers go out to his parents and loved ones."
Patterson and his partner, Game Warden Danny Tuggle, were attempting to recover the body of a suspected drowning victim where the river crosses FM 205 in Somervell County when the accident occurred at about 8:10 a.m. Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon, Courtney Butler, 16, of Stephenville, was swimming with friends on the river. Friends reported her missing around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. This afternoon, a team of enforcement agencies continues to search for Butler. TPWD law enforcement officials are investigating the incident. No additional details about the incident are available.
Tuggle, a 25-year veteran game warden, suffered near-drowning injuries and was also transported to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, where he was treated and released at noon today.
Somervell County Sheriff Greg Doyle and several deputies were observing the search Wednesday morning when the boat carrying Patterson and Tuggle capsized, and several deputies immediately entered the water to aid the game wardens. Members of the Somervell County Fire and Emergency Medical Service also entered the water to help the game wardens, and provided emergency medical aid immediately after the incident.
"Swift and effective action by Sheriff Doyle and his deputies probably saved the life of Warden Tuggle," said Maj. Butch Shoop, TPWD Law Enforcement Division regional director out of Fort Worth. "Somervell County Fire and EMS immediately went to work trying to help Warden Patterson. We deeply appreciate the assistance we have received from these and other organizations involved, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, which provided a helicopter to help search the river."
Patterson was the second Texas game warden killed in the line of duty in less than three months. Game Warden Justin Hurst was shot and killed on March 17 during an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement officers and a suspected poacher.
Since 1919, 17 Texas game wardens have lost their lives in the line of duty, five by drowning.
Patterson earned his Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Texas State University, and was a graduate of the 51st Texas Game Warden Academy in 2005. He was stationed in Johnson County. He is survived by his parents, Viann and Joe Patterson of Seguin, Texas.

More than 670 dairy producers, family members and industry representatives gathered at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wis., earlier this month for the Leading Dairy Producer Conference. Hosted by Purina Animal Nutrition and Land O'Lakes Inc., the Leading Dairy Producer Conference, now in its eleventh year, is one of the largest dairy producer conferences held annually in the Upper Midwest.
This year's attendees represented 205 dairy farms and more than 160,000 cows. Attendees had the chance to learn about a wealth of topics ranging from transition cow immunology, feed-borne mycotoxins and how to improve efficiencies on-farm. Attendees also had the opportunity to hear first-hand from two producer panels engaged by Purina Animal Nutrition for their unique and specialized knowledge of the dairy industry. Sharing insights on calf raising practices, the first panel consisted of Pete Kappelman, Meadow Brook Dairy Farms in Two Rivers, Wis., Greg Ziegler, Ziegler Dairy Farms in Middleton, Wis., and Mike Larson, Larson Acres in Evansville, Wis. Feeding to a higher plane of nutrition, feeding three times a day and automated calf feeders were credited with part of their successes.
The second panel focused on tips to drive profit potential despite record-high feed costs. Greg Jans, Cojo Dairy in Grove City, Minn., Kurt Steiner, Steinhurst Farms in Creston, Ohio and Rick Rausch, Rausch Family Farms in Athens, Wis., discussed tools and strategies that have made their operations successful. All three panelists credited holding the course when it comes to their rations despite high feed cost as part of their success, stating "cutting back sets you back."
"Our goal each year is to provide a discussion forum for the most progressive dairy producers and deliver the latest dairy nutrition and management insights," says Elena Lindemann, lactating livestock marketing director with Purina Animal Nutrition LLC. "Dr. David LaCount, our dairy nutritionist based in Wisconsin, leads the selection of topics that are of key relevance for dairy producers."
In addition to the seminars, attendees also had a chance to engage in friendly competition to test their dairy nutrition knowledge. Winners of the dairy jeopardy contest received vouchers good towards their next Purina Animal Nutrition feed purchase.
Purina Animal Nutrition partners with several industry leading companies to host the Leading Dairy Producer Conference each year and bring the newest research and information to attendees.
Purina Animal Nutrition LLC (www.purinamills.com) is a national organization serving producers, animal owners and their families through more than 4,700 local cooperatives, independent dealers and other large retailers across the United States. Driven by an uncompromising commitment to animal excellence, Purina Animal Nutrition is an industry innovator, offering America's leading brands of complete feeds, supplements, premixes, ingredients and specialty technologies for the livestock and lifestyle animal markets. Headquartered in Shoreview, Minn., Purina Animal Nutrition LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Land O'Lakes, Inc.

Topic: Dad's disease progression - ~ 1 year after diagnosis
Hello everyone -
I am an infrequent poster so I will give brief history. My dad (64) was diagnosed with CC almost a year ago. He was diagnosed through cell brushing because there was no clear visible mass; he was however jaundiced and had back aches but after a stent was placed these symptoms reduced. In a subsequent biopsy it was determined he also had lung mets so resection was not an option. In September he started with Gemzar and did OK until he caught a severe infection in Dec. He resumed Gemzar about 4 weeks ago and had been OK again.
Today he went to the Dr. and they still see no clear mass in the region although there is some debate about his pancreatic head having a deformation - though not a clearly visible mass. Also, some of his lungs appear to have grown slightly and he also has some new ones. The Dr. Changed the regimen to Xeloda and he will start on Monday. I know many have experience with Xeloda so any experiences will be greatly appreciated.
I am really concerned about the pancreatic imaging. Has anybody had any similar experiences? At some point it was even thought the cancer might be pancreas and not CC but several Dr's have discounted it. All claim that with T4 pancreatic cancer he would not have survived this long.
Also, does anyone have experiences with lung mets and expected progression or known complications?
Overall he is doing quite well albeit being very tired and after the infection very cautious.
If anyone can share experiences it would be great.
Thank you and best of luck to all.
Amilcar, Seattle WA

DETROIT - Parents trying to save for college these days have been pinched between rising tuition and a struggling Michigan economy.
As part of the Local 4 Education Nation initiative, Consumer Expert Ruth Spencer asked an a financial consultant for some advice on how to save for that last chapter of your child's education: college.
Retired police officer Kevin Kline of Clinton Township has already helped his three older children through college.
"You're going to want your children to go to college because you want a better future for them," he said.
He now has two younger daughters who might be looking for help with tuition down the road.
"This time there was a game plan," he told Ruth to the Rescue.
Kline works with financial advisor Tom Hakim of Hakim Financial to make the most of his money including college savings. Hakim's first piece of advice is the sooner you start saving the better you will be.
"The longer you wait, it's Murphy Law, something's going to happen every year until you say, 'Wow we should have done that,'" Hakim said.
He also adds that starting right after a child is born can pay dividends later, especially when it comes to engaging the entire family in the effort to build a robust education fund.
"Talking to grandparents, aunts and uncles say, 'Look if you want to really give my child something put something toward their education fund,'" he said.
Where To Put All That Money?
Hakim says there are plenty of places to put that extra money as your child grows up: savings accounts, mutual funds, even under your pillow! However, he is a big fan of 529 accounts.
"529's are probably right now one of the best plans out there," he told Ruth to the Rescue.
When it comes to setting a savings goal, he says its hard to come up with a savings formula that would work for every family.
"I think the key is to save what you can, and as much as you can."
Other Savings Secrets
There are some other secrets to saving money for the education fund, including:
*Make savings a regular deduction from your paycheck. Once it's a habit, you might not even notice the money is going to another account.
*If your regular expenses decrease, shift the savings into the education fund. For example, when your child stops going to daycare, divert some of that money into the college account.
*If you have a sudden windfall (tax refund, inheritance), get into the habit of putting a portion of that "found" money, into the education fund.
*Involve your children in the effort, make saving for college a family project.
Kline agrees with that last point. "When they get their birthday money or holiday money that goes into that plan also," he said.
"I think that's just a great formula for success!" added Hakim.
Relieving the Pressure
Beyond your savings, Hakim wants parents to know paying for college isn't all on their shoulders.
"There's three players here. There's them, if they want to participate, there's the student, and there's the university, who will participate," he said.
He said its crucial to involved the student in every aspect of planning, once they're old enough.
And, while the costs of traditional college seem to be skyrocketing all the time, Hakim said technology could rapidly change how the next generation is educated, and that could lower costs in the future.
"25 years from now, you're probably going to be able to go to college on your iPhone," he said.
Here's one reference to compare college savings plans: Savingforcollege.com.
Every parent should also remember to check with your child's university for all the financial aid programs at the school. Students should also be looking for every scholarship they might be eligible to receive, financial aid, loans, work-study programs.
As Hakim advised, this is a project with three partners: parents, students, and the university.

Is TTM effective for Westerners? For example, I have heard that Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche was told to go to Western doctors because he had been living in the West for so long. Is this only because he had a serious health condition, or is TTM not really effective for Westerners due to climate and diet differences?
TTM for Westerners?
Discuss any health or dietary topics which lie outside mainstream Western medical thinking, from Ayurveda to Reiki.

Re: TTM for Westerners?
I tried it and it worked very well for me for issues that western medicine was completely unable to touch (and actually badly damaged me trying).
For anyone considering it, it's worth trying.

Hi All,
I am Buddhist from Sri Lanka and having question regarding of "Jathaka katha". I assume "Jathaka katha" were not included anywhere in "Thripitaka" (Vinaya, Abhidamma and Sutra). I hope If there anyone in this forum who have already fully read all "Thripitaka" may able to answer my question. Thanks in advance.
May triple gem bless you.

The corn market continued sliding Tuesday morning. Monday's quarterly USDA Grain Stocks report stated U.S. corn inventories above forecast levels, thereby suggesting they're ample to current needs. Given widespread expectations for a record 2013 harvest, and ongoing cash market losses, it wasn't terribly surprising to see prices continue declining this morning. December corn dipped 4.25 cents to $4.3725/bushel in Tuesday morning action, and May lost 4.0 cents to $4.5825.
Cash weakness reportedly increased the selling pressure in the soy complex. The Grain Stocks report also held bearish implications for the soybean outlook, since the stated inventory topped most predictions. As with corn, talk of accelerating declines at various Corn Belt markets also extended the bearish post-report reaction this morning. November soybeans fell 14.0 cents to $12.6875/bushel around midsession Tuesday, while December soyoil slumped 0.27 cents to 40.83 cents/pound, and December soymeal declined $5.0 to $400.4/ton.
The wheat markets again held up relatively well Tuesday morning. Monday's reports held mixed implications for the wheat outlook, which largely explains their relatively firm post-report performance. One has to suspect traders are reacting to the completion of the spring wheat harvest at this juncture; they appear to be inspired by positive technical developments and spreading wheat versus corn and/or beans in response to their divergent harvest situations. December CBOT wheat inched up 1.5 cents to $6.80 bushel in early Tuesday action, while December KCBT wheat added 4.25 cents to $7.4375, and December MGE futures advanced 8.0 cents to $7.3625.
Cattle futures continued their decline Tuesday morning. Despite significant signs of strength at the cash and wholesale markets lately, cattle futures suffered from persistent selling in early Tuesday action. One has to wonder if the livestock markets are suffering from the federal government shutdown, since most pertinent information comes from the USDA. December cattle futures sank 0.22 cents to 131.75 cents/pound by late Tuesday morning, while April skidded 0.22 cents to 134.35. Meanwhile, November feeder cattle rallied 0.12 cents to 165.32 cents/pound, and January ran up 0.22 to 164.22.
Cash losses may be depressing hog futures at this point. As with cattle, the lack of news from the USDA may be undercutting the hog and pork complex. However, country reports suggest cash hog values are continuing the late slide, thereby giving rise to ideas that the market is very much involved in its usual autumn breakdown at this point. December hog futures tumbled 0.62 cents to 86.00 cents/pound just before lunchtime Tuesday, while April dropped 0.55 cents to 88.70.

In another attempt to strengthen its organization, Furniture Row Racing announced Tuesday that it will field its own pit crew in 2013.
The single-car, Denver-based team that features 2004 Cup champion Kurt Busch had previously used pit crews provided by other organizations, most recently Stewart-Haas Racing.
MORE: Kyle's wild weekend | Biggest surprises of 2012 | Harvick on his move
The team is developing and training its own crew, however, under the leadership of veteran crewman Mike "Tiny" Houston, who has been hired as pit crew coach.
Houston, who was a front-tire carrier on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Hendrick Motorsports team, will oversee and direct the crew, which will train at the Performance Instruction & Training facility in Mooresville, N.C.
Houston, who had also worked on the teams of Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon at Hendrick, is a former college football player and professional wrestler.
"Re-establishing our own over-the-wall crew has been high on our radar," Furniture Row Racing General Manager Joe Garone in a release from the team. "But before entering into this vital operation, we wanted to make sure that we had everything in place that would allow us to produce a highly-qualified over-the-wall crew.
"With Mike Houston coming on board to lead us in this new venture, he brings first-hand experience and a thorough understanding of what it takes to develop and maintain a successful pit crew week in and week out."
Busch joined Furniture Row for the final six races of 2012, replacing Regan Smith. Busch, who drove for Phoenix Racing during most of the season, finished in the top 10 in each of the final three races.

BECKLEY, W.Va. -- A former Massey Energy official who is cooperating with prosecutors on Thursday implicated the company's former chief executive officer, Don Blankenship, in a decade-long conspiracy to hide safety violations from federal inspectors.
Former Massey official David C. Hughart pleaded guilty to two federal criminal charges that he plotted with other company officials to routinely violate safety standards and then cover up the resulting workplace hazards.
But a fairly routine plea hearing here took a surprising twist when U.S. District Judge Irene Berger pressed Hughart to name his co-conspirators and Hughart responded, "the chief executive officer."
Hughart did not use Blankenship's name, but Blankenship was CEO of Massey from 2000 until 2010, during the period when the crimes Hughart admitted to committing occurred.
In a nearly three-year investigation that started with the deaths of 29 miners in the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster and has so far prompted four convictions, the accusation by Hughart is the first courtroom statement to specifically allege any wrongdoing by Blankenship.
William Taylor, a lawyer for Blankenship, said his client has done nothing wrong and downplayed the significance of what Hughart said.
"We were quite surprised at the reports of Mr. Hughart's statements at the time of his guilty plea," Taylor said. "Don Blankenship did not conspire with anybody to do anything illegal or improper. To the contrary, he did everything he could to make Massey's mines safe.
"We're not concerned particularly about the story concerning Mr. Hughart," Taylor said. "It's not surprising that people say untrue things when they are trying to reduce a possible prison sentence."
When he's sentenced on June 25, Hughart, 54, of Crab Orchard, faces up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $350,000. In a deal with prosecutors, Hughart pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the government by thwarting U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration inspections and one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to violate MSHA safety standards. Hughart also agreed to cooperate with authorities in the ongoing criminal investigation of the mine disaster and broader questions about Massey safety practices.
"Guilty of both charges," Hughart told Berger when the judge asked him to enter his formal plea.
Hughart did not work at Upper Big Branch, and his plea deal involved crimes he has admitted committing between 2000 and 2010 at Massey's White Buck operations in Nicholas County, where two mid-level foremen and a Massey operating subsidiary were prosecuted five years ago for criminal safety violations.
Prosecutors identified Hughart as having served as president of Massey's Green Valley "resource group," which included White Buck. But Hughart also worked for Massey for more than 20 years, serving as an officer or a director at more than two-dozen subsidiaries, according to public records.
Hughart was fired in March 2010, and internal Massey records, filed in a circuit court case, allege he had failed a random drug test and received kickbacks from a Massey contractor.
In court documents in Hughart's case, prosecutors alleged a broader conspiracy by unnamed "directors, officers, and agents" of Massey operating companies to put coal production ahead of worker safety and health at "other coal mines owned by Massey." Those documents, filed in late November, were the first time in their Upper Big Branch probe that prosecutors have formally alleged Massey officials engaged in a scheme that went beyond the Raleigh County mine that exploded on April 5, 2010, and killed 29 workers.
Prosecutors allege that mine safety and health laws were routinely violated at the White Buck mines and other Massey operations, in part because of "a belief that consistently following those laws would decrease coal production."
Among the safety standards violated, prosecutors said, were those governing mine ventilation and control of explosive coal dust.
Investigators have said those standards were repeatedly ignored at Upper Big Branch, setting the stage there for a small methane ignition to turn into a huge, coal dust-fueled explosion.
And MSHA investigators have cited a Massey practice of providing "advance notice" of government inspections as a key factor in the mine disaster. MSHA investigators said this practice allowed Massey to fix hazards prior to inspections, but avoid more long-term safety improvements or tougher enforcement actions that might have prompted the mine to be closed.
During Thursday's plea hearing, Berger was running through a routine list of questions intended to assure that Hughart understood the charges against him and that he really committed the crimes he was admitting.
The judge pushed Hughart, asking him to explain exactly what "higher ups" he had worked with to provide advance notice of MSHA inspections. Hughart responded, "the chief executive officer." He did not mention Blankenship by name, and did not name any other Massey officials.
The hearing moved on, until Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Ruby interrupted to tell the judge he believed Hughart may have misunderstood one of her questions. Ruby asked that the parties discuss that question with the judge in a private meeting at the bench, saying that the issue involved the government's ongoing criminal investigation. The judge agreed, and turned on a courtroom "white noise" system so spectators and the media could not hear the discussion. Later, both Ruby and Hughart's defense lawyer, Michael Whitt, refused to comment on what was discussed.
After the hearing, in an impromptu news conference just outside the courthouse, Hughart's wife and son both said Hughart was a good man who was just doing what Blankenship had ordered him to do.
"Don Blankenship is the reason we're here today," said Hughart's wife, Karen. "My husband was told he would be blackballed from the coal industry if he didn't go along."
So far, three individuals have been sentenced to jail in the government's criminal probe of the Upper Big Branch disaster and Massey Energy's safety practices.
A former Upper Big Branch miner, Thomas Harrah, was sentenced to 10 months in jail after he admitted to faking a foreman's license when he performed key mine safety examinations at the mine between January 2008 and August 2009, and then lied to investigators about his actions.
Berger sentenced a former Upper Big Branch security director, Hughie Elbert Stover, to 36 months in jail after Stover was convicted of two felonies: making a false statement and obstructing the government probe of the mine disaster.
And in January, the judge sentenced former Upper Big Branch superintendent Gary May to 21 months in jail and a $20,000 fine after he pleaded guilty to plotting to skirt safety rules and cover up the resulting hazards.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin also reached a deal not to prosecute Alpha Natural Resources for any Upper Big Branch criminal liabilities it inherited when it purchased Massey Energy in June 2011. That deal required the firm to spend $80 million during the next two years on mine safety improvements and create a $48 million mine safety research trust fund. Alpha also agreed to pay $46.5 million in restitution to families of the disaster victims and $35 million to resolve pending Massey safety fines, including $10.8 million levied for violations related to the Upper Big Branch explosion.
Following previous developments in the case, Goodwin has said his investigation is continuing, and indicated that his team is following leads in an effort to move up the corporate ladder at Massey.
On Thursday, Goodwin's office issued a press release that didn't mention Hughart's statement about Blankenship, but touted the conviction of Hughart.
"Mine safety and health laws are not optional," Goodwin said in the release. "This prosecution reiterates the message that mine safety violations are very serious crimes." Asked to comment specifically on Hughart's statement, Goodwin said, "Because it is an ongoing investigation, I'm not going to comment on the direction of the investigation."

Car arrived back safe and sound, Would highly recommend this Garage in the future to anyone wanting a affordable and reliable service.
Initially there was bit of a problem over the booking as I turned up on the Wednesday and was expected the following day. Despite this my Peugeot 307 was taken in for a cam belt and water pump change. Initially it looked as though the job might have to roll over into the next day, but after I explained that I was off to the British Grand Prix on Thursday they pulled out all the stops and I had the car all sorted and back on my drive by 2pm. Special thanks to Nicki on reception for jiggling things about and getting it all sorted for me. Will be back in the Autumn for service and MOT. Thanks again, great customer service!
Absolutely fantastic service. Booked the previous day to have it picked up and delivered back the next day. They even fixed a fault from another garage. (ABS lead hitting the drive shaft....). The price was superb too, massively better value for money when compared to the "big garages" (that left my ABS cable hanging!) I couldn't recommend them any higher.

Prospectus Hit and Run
Grab Reyes, Grab a Pennant
In recent weeks, the Dodgers' Frank McCourt had taken a commanding lead in Major League Baseball's ongoing Embattled Owner Derby, dominating headlines with his futile machinations as Bud Selig moved to strip him of his mismanaged franchise. The Mets' Fred Wilpon got his club back in the game on Monday, courtesy of a lengthy Jeffrey Toobin profile in The New Yorker. While the all-access article provides an enlightening perspective on Wilpon's rags-to-riches story and his entanglement in Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, most notable on the baseball side is the owner's comments regarding pending free agents Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes, comments which leave little doubt that both players' days in Queens are numbered.
38 comments have been left for this article.

A few observations about the New Yorker article:
May 23, 2011 13:26 PM
Wilpon v. McCourt: The Contest, Part 2
May 23, 2011 13:27 PM
Reyes would look excellent in Red, as would Carlos Beltran for that matter. The question remains, what sort of return would the Mets be looking for, both in volume and type of talent?
May 23, 2011 13:33 PM
It's extremely difficult to gauge exactly what kind of package the Mets could get. They're surely not all going to be blue-chippers because of the short time left on Reyes' contract, not to mention the volatility of his recent performance. There's also a tradeoff in terms of prospects who are nearly ready and those who are a long ways off.
May 23, 2011 14:15 PM
Lou Doench
One of the catchers (Grandal or Mesaroco), one of the big league ready arms (Leake or Maloney? Maybe even Volquez?) and two scratch off tickets would get it done, but only if we can extend him. I'm not too interested in half year rental for a lot of treasure for a Reds team looking to contend for the forseeable future.
May 23, 2011 14:54 PM
Jay, you have just succinctly made the argument for the Mets to hang on to Reyes. Look at the numbers, and tell me who could come up with two players who would, playing every day, and at least statistically, make up for Reyes' production? You mentioned some in your piece, but not as candidates to go to the Mets! Regards,
May 25, 2011 11:25 AM
The Dodgers also have a SS that will likely be on the market this summer in Rafael Furcal, provided he can stay healthy that long, and you have to believe that he would be a cheaper alternative than Reyes.
May 23, 2011 14:20 PM
Scott Gilroy
If the Mets received Sanchez from SF, he would have only 1 season before FA. He has toomuch potential for Ollie part deux to sign
As far as I'm concerned, as a Mets fan, either give me blue chippers, or I'll take the compensation picks.
I want NO PART of Jonathan Sanchez, thanks.
May 23, 2011 14:34 PM
And the Reds can keep Mike Leake and Matt Maloney.
May 23, 2011 15:05 PM
off topic-but where is the Monday Ten Pack today?
May 23, 2011 16:02 PM
Jay, why do your think Jed Lowrie's offense will taper off? I can see him as an injury risk, but he's always been a quality hitter when he's healthy. I assume Reyes would have better range, but still.....
May 23, 2011 17:17 PM
The most interesting comment was Wilpon's comment about Wright - "a very good player...not a superstar". He said nothing derogatory about Reyes, just said he wasn't getting Crawford money because of his injury history, which may well be true. I wouldn't be shocked if the Mets try and move Wright, who could bring them a bigger haul than Reyes. They might prefer their 3B future in the minors - assuming Flores goes there, as well as others. But mostly, the fact that Wright is both better than Reyes and signed for the next two years makes him a much more valuable trade chip.
May 23, 2011 17:17 PM
Jason Wojciechowski
A's fans have been hoping that Oakland might be able to get involved in a Reyes trade, but I don't know how realistic that is, in part because I'm not sure who they offer in return. Oakland's not a terribly good team, so they don't necessarily spring to mind as a rental possibility, but that division is wide open, and once you get to the playoffs ...
May 23, 2011 17:33 PM
If I had included one more team on here it would have been the A's. Cliff Pennington isn't hitting (.236/.291/.326) but then neither is most of their lineup. The A's system is mid-pack but they might have prospects that appeal to the Mets. I do think that the cumulative effect of so many rotation injuries is going to be the death of their contending bid, though - in a month the deal might not make sense.
May 23, 2011 19:51 PM
There seems to be no scenario in which the Mets can receive equal value- in terms of baseball ability for Reyes. the impetus for the trade is purely financial. That a team in New York is so mismanaged as to have to run a shoestring operation is in no way the players' fault.
May 23, 2011 18:06 PM
How about the Tigers as a possible landing place for either Reyes or Wright? Inge's bat appears to have finally died they could either just replace him or slide Peralta over.
May 23, 2011 18:11 PM
I don't see the Mets trading Wright, but I suppose Reyes isn't out of the question for them along the scenario you outlined. We know the Tigers aren't shy about spending money, but unfortunately their farm system is weak (27th in Kevin Goldstein's rankings), so it's tougher to envision a match.
May 23, 2011 19:58 PM
You know - I think toanstrom might be on to something. Just like the Brewers emptied their shelves to get Grienke - while they were already rated by Baseball America to have the worst farm in the game. Just like the Tigers, themselves, did in acquiring Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis - they had a weak farm then with only two stud prospects, but nothing else besides, and dealt them for the studs. Now they have only Jacob Turner, and a decent PTBD in Nick Castellanos, but that might be enough for one partial year of Reyes and Dave Dombrowski has not been afraid to make those moves before.
May 23, 2011 20:20 PM
The Reds make the most sense. A need, talent to deal... makes sense.
May 23, 2011 18:50 PM
Wouldn't the return for Reyes have to exceed the 1st and Supplemental round draft pick they would receive for offering him arbitration? Otherwise why bother?
May 23, 2011 19:42 PM
From Wilpon's shortstighted point of view, saving ~$5 million by trading Reyes mid-season has more value than the yield of the picks, who might not provide value until there's a new owner, which isn't going to be his problem. I'm not saying that's a good baseball move at all, but unless Alderson is allowed to operate unimpeded, it's the inevitable one on a team as mismanaged as the Mets.
May 23, 2011 19:53 PM
Gashouse Gorillas
I can't help but think the Phillies will be keenly watching the floating price for Beltran. We could use a right-handed bat.
May 24, 2011 07:03 AM
Mike W
What about a trade after the draft? You can't trade picks, but the draft is only two weeks away. Mil, Det, et al will have guys to trade then.
May 24, 2011 08:53 AM
Totally goofy to think ... Royals? Would a package like Alcides, Aviles, Dwyer, Jeffress --- and the price of a Reyes contract --- be unthinkable for them?
May 24, 2011 10:54 AM
They're two games under .500, 8.5 games back, with a 0.2 percent chance of making the playoffs, so why in the hell would they do that? Why compromise their organization's wealth of prospects for a player they won't be able to keep during a season in which they have almost no chance of winning big?
May 24, 2011 13:25 PM
Agreed. But the Indians are NOT for real in that very weak division.

A LEADING Dudley councillor is keeping quiet on her reasons for a surprise seat shift in the local elections.
Cllr Tracy Wood, cabinet member for the environment and culture, has represented Labour in the Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews ward since 2010 after winning the seat with a majority of 695.
She has now opted not to stand for re-election in the Netherton ward but instead fight for Upper Gornal and Woodsetton in the 2014 campaign.
Cllr Wood said: "It was a very difficult decision to make, it was for personal reasons and I don't want to go into the details."
Labour candidate Elaine Taylor will now fight to retain Netherton for her party against Tory Kamran Razzaq and former football manager Steve Daniels (UKIP).
The Green Party fancy their chances in Netherton after success in 2012 when Will Duckworth romped home to become the first Green Party councillor in Dudley.
Candidate Bill McComish is hoping to join Cllr Duckworth as a second Green Party member of the authority for Netherton.
Mr McComish said: "I have been working in the area for four years talking to local residents about housing, jobs, traffic and other issues, and keeping them informed with regular newsletters.
"If I'm elected to join Will Duckworth on Dudley Council, we will be able to do much more for local people."
