For it was the voice of Richie Havens that, for me at least, personified Amtrak's All Aboard America ad push, beginning in 1983, and in a way also signaling to the American public that the entity called Amtrak, at the time a pre-teen at 12 years old, wasn't going away quietly, David Stockman or no David Stockman.
Havens, to be sure, had a slogan worthy of his talent. Earlier Amtrak tag lines ranged from apologetic ("We've Been Working on the Railroad") to beseeching ("See America at See Level"). To its credit, Amtrak kept trying new slogans, and while "America's Getting into Training (Training the Amtrak Way)" smacked of youthful and nervous naivete, I liked the theme well enough. At least the message showed Amtrak was taking ownership of passenger rail travel (the Amtrak way, whether you believed in same or not).
Then came "All Aboard America"—observation? Recommendation? Command? The voice of Richie Havens made it all of those things, or something else entirely, but it was an assured message. Amtrak, through Havens' singing voice, simply asserted "there's something about a train that's magic," and defied the passenger rail naysayers to retort petulantly, "No, there's not." Advantage: Amtrak.
Former Amtrak CEO David Gunn reportedly scorned most Amtrak marketing efforts, saying they emphasized the relative comfort of train travel but neglected basic informational needs such as cities served, schedules, or costs. True for the most part, and something other rail advocates agreed with, though when most of your skeletal geographic network is held down by one train per day, one might hesitate to harp on schedules.
A YouTube video capturing Amtrak's Coast Starlight subcampaign does indeed show how nice the train was supposed to be, and how intriguing the geography is, and does indeed neglect fare or scheduling information. I agree that more attention should have been given to local tie-ins, but I'm still not convinced the overall emphasis was misplaced. In the grand political game of the time, I may not have known where the heck Amtrak went, but at least I knew it was out there somewhere.
Mr. Gunn's preferred focus surely was in play when the All Aboard America ads featured the Northeast Corridor. One NEC ad shows shots of Amtrak crew and equipment that invoke airline professionalism, slowly letting the viewer realize we're talkin' trains, while the (non-singing) voiceover noted "11 trips per day between New York and Washington, D.C." with Metroliner service, along with average travel time. Cue Richie Havens: "All Aboard America." Did the ads help as Amtrak slowly established itself as the dominant NEC carrier, surpassing Eastern Airlines? Who knows for sure? But the tone had been set: Amtrak was for real, at least in one air/rail market.
Now as then, the NEC has been Amtrak's "low-beta" investment: less volatile and less vulnerable to congressional savagery than other Amtrak routes, with the tradeoff of less potential for future growth. Amtrak still gets flogged for taking this approach in the past (when it's not still accused of leveraging same to this day), but when it comes to advertising your product, you like to lead with your strength.
Richie Havens added to that strength, giving pro-passenger rail advocates and riders a rallying cry that in print appears prosaic, but in song said a whole lot more. I still hum the theme now and again, and certainly have done so more often this week, remembering the power of a folk voice urging the use of passenger rail transportation.
I head for the centennial meeting of the American Short Line & Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) this weekend, fortunate enough to go via Amtrak's Crescent. I expect to wake up early in the morning, with the train somewhere in the South Carolina hills, and if I do I'll look out the window, and say to myself: "That's magic." Thanks, Mr. Havens.

You won't find a more comfortable pair of underwear. They stay in place all day and the wife loves the look. If they had a fly opening, it would be the only underwear I would wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DaveEP Only Underwear I wear!
Excellent product. Was afraid that they changed the material to the 88% Poly & 12% Spandex, bur they are still made with some nylon. Love these and hope they continue making them in the future. They last very long, as I have had some for years.. Way to go Perry Ellis...

These are not made of the same material as the solid luxury boxer briefs- yet the description is the same. These are too stretchy and clingy.

White Camille Dining Chairs with Rush Seats, Set of 2
Not as cute as the picture portrayed
First of all, I didn't notice that amended directions had been taped to the side of the box until I had labored through the original set. Once put together and sat on the seat, the cane was so hard and prickly that I could never have sat on them with bare legs. The cane had been painted with a gloss, but was not smooth at all.
In addition, the chairs were not attractive at all. They were big and clumsy looking. Needless to say, I sent them back immediately.

Completed admission packets for the doctoral cohort that will begin each Fall are due in Enrollment Services by 4:30 p.m. on March 15 each respective year. The MSU doctorate in education (EdD) is designed to meet the distinctive needs of P–12 practitioner-leaders by addressing the call put forth by the Southern Regional Education Board and others to ensure that there is a "quality leader in every school." There are two main tracks in the proposed program. The program's first track, focusing on P-12 Administrative Leadership, provides opportunities for P–12 educators to remain on the job and be involved in rigorous leadership training while conducting research designed to bring about improved student achievement in their schools. The second track of Educational Technology Leadership is designed for the educational leader to provide leadership and support of colleagues through instructional design, curriculum development, and educational technology implementation and integration.
This is a practitioner-based doctorate designed to provide advanced training for those P-12 and technology leaders on the job. The overall goal of the program is to improve the educational attainment of residents of the eastern region of Kentucky.
"The principle goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done; men and an women who are creative, inventive and discoverers who have minds which can be critical, can verify, and not accept everything they are offered."

Penn Museum Explores Daily Life During Politically Tumultuous Times
A world-renowned collection of ancient Maya painted pottery, excavated by the University of Pennsylvania Museum nearly a century ago and reinterpreted in light of recent research in the field, provides the centerpiece for Painted Metaphors: Pottery and Politics of the Ancient Maya, a new exhibition opening at the Penn Museum 05 April 2009. Painted Metaphors runs through 31 January 2010, before beginning a multi-city national tour.
Like so many pieces of the famous Chama pottery that conservators meticulously put back together at the Penn Museum, Painted Metaphors yields new clues to understanding everyday life—and changing politics—of the ancient Maya of Guatemala 1,300 years ago.

Watch out on Sunday, 22 March 2009 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., as superheroes, traveling through time and across continents, invade the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology on the Penn campus in an afternoon of super antics, super games—and super fun!

04 JANUARY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Discovery of grisly evidence of strangulation and decapitation, and bizarre arrangements of human and animal bones, has solved the longstanding mystery about the Celtic presence at Gordion, Turkey, where the University of Pennsyvlania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has been excavating since 1950. The chronologically rich site, long renowned as the capital of Phrygia in the 8th century B.C. and the center from which the famed King Midas once ruled, is about 60 miles southwest of Ankara in central Turkey.
Project to Create World's First Dictionary of the First Written Language Gets Re-Defined in New Age of Internet Communications Technologies
02 APRIL 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology's Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary Project was awarded a two-year, $302,000 grant from the National Endowment of Humanities, an independent federal agency.
Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday Seeks to Redefine the Meaning of Matriarchy In Women at the Center, New Book Detailing Her Research among the Minangkabau
01 MAY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—For the last century, historians, anthropologists and other scholars have searched both human history and the continents to find a matriarchy-a society where the power was in the hands of women, not men. Most have concluded that a genuine matriarchy does not exist, perhaps may never have existed.
Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday disagrees. After years of research among the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, Indonesia, she has accepted that group's own self-labeling, as a "matriarchate," or matriarchy. The problem, she asserts, lies in Western cultural notions of what a matriarchy "should" look like-patriarchy's female-twin.
First Example Ever Found of These Special-Use Bricks, Known from Ancient Texts to be Used in Childbirth
01 JULY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—University of Pennsylvania Museum archaeologists have discovered a 3700-year-old "magical" birth brick inside the palatial residence of a Middle Kingdom mayor's house just outside Abydos, in southern Egypt. The colorfully decorated mud birth brick-the first ever found-is one of a pair that would have been used to support a woman's feet while squatting during actual childbirth.
Symposium Offered in Celebration of "Worlds Intertwined: Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans," Permanent New Suite of Classical World Galleries
28 FEBRUARY 2003, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Etruscan civilization, the preeminent culture of central Italy from 800-100 BC, has attracted a renaissance of interest among scholars and the public in recent years. From the Etruscan alphabet and the language, to the furnishings, architecture, fashion and city planning initiatives, these inventive pre-Roman people have left an enduring legacy. They shocked Greeks and Romans with the freedom of their women, their technological prowess, and their control of the sea—and then gradually lost it all to Rome's military campaigns. Yet, with little in the way of actual Etruscan texts preserved, the cultural artifacts that remain—strange, beautiful, sometimes seductive or frightening—pose challenges to archaeologists and historians eager to tease out a better understanding of the Etruscan contributions to the Roman culture that eventually subsumed them.
Conservation Made Possible in Part with IMLS Matching Grant
01 JUNE 2003, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Seven ancient ceramic coffins from the southern Mesopotamian site of Nippur in present-day Iraq - all part of the University of Pennsylvania Museum's Nippur collection and the only such coffins in the United States - will receive the conservation they need, thanks in part to a prestigious matching grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal agency. The year-long conservation project will be carried out by independent conservator Julia Lawson with the advice and assistance of Virginia Greene, the Museum's Senior Conservator, and Dr. Richard Zettler, Penn Museum's Associate Curator in the Near East section.
Find Provides New Insight into Widespread Trade, Cultural Exchange in Region
03 JUNE 2003, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Excavating at the ancient town of Gilund in southern Rajasthan, India, one of the largest sites of the little-known Ahar-Banas culture, archaeologists led by teams from the University of Pennsylvania Museum and Deccan College, Pune, India have discovered a bin filled with more than 100 seal impressions dating to 2100-1700 B.C. The existence of the seals, and their particular styles, offer surprising new evidence for the apparent complexity of this non-literate, late and post-Indus Civilization-era culture, according to Dr. Gregory Possehl, UPM curator and excavation co-director.
16 JANUARY 2004, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Indus Civilization: A Contemporary Perspective, a new book by Dr. Gregory Possehl, Asian Section Curator of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, has been awarded the prestigious Choice Magazine Award for Outstanding Academic Book for 2003.
A leading expert in the history and archaeology of the ancient Indus Civilization, Dr. Possehl has been engaged in archaeological research in India and Pakistan since 1964. His research interests have taken him from Iron Age megaliths to Mesolithic encampments, and he has directed excavations at Rojdi in Gujarat and, currently, Gilund in southern Rajasthan, India. In addition to his curatorial position at UPM, Dr. Possehl is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.
25 MARCH 2004, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has been awarded a three year, $301,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to support an innovative research experience for undergraduates: "Native Voices, Past and Present, Studies of Native American Collections at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology."
Over the duration of the grant, 36 undergraduate students--18 Native American students and 18 University of Pennsylvania students--will have the opportunity to develop and engage in original research projects using the Museum's rich North American Indian collections, including ethnographic and archaeological materials.
Dig at Abydos Yields Important Discoveries About Egypt's First Dynasty
25 MARCH 2004, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The practice of sacrificial burials at First Dynasty (ca. 2950-2775 BC) royal tombs and enclosures has been suggested by Egyptologists since the late 19th century but never proved. However, archeologists working in the desert sands of Abydos, Egypt - more than eight miles from the river Nile - have uncovered strong evidence to suggest that the custom did exist. Moreover, recent excavations have also discovered two new mortuary enclosures - and the royal owner of one has been positively identified.
01 JANUARY 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Chemical analyses of ancient organics absorbed, and preserved, in pottery jars from the Neolithic village of Jiahu, in Henan province, Northern China, have revealed that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey, and fruit was being produced as early as 9,000 years ago, approximately the same time that barley beer and grape wine were beginning to be made in the Middle East.
In addition, liquids more than 3,000 years old, remarkably preserved inside tightly lidded bronze vessels, were chemically analyzed. These vessels from the capital city of Anyang and an elite burial in the Yellow River Basin, dating to the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties (ca. 1250-1000 B.C.), contained specialized rice and millet "wines." The beverages had been flavored with herbs, flowers, and/or tree resins, and are similar to herbal wines described in the Shang dynasty oracle inscriptions.
Penn School of Engineering Joins Forces with Penn Museum, External Collaborators to Develop New Prototype Data Retrieval Systems for Archaeological Sites
06 JANUARY 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—University of Pennsylvania Museum archaeologists working at the renowned ancient site of Tiwanaku in Bolivia--a site sometimes called the "American Stonehenge"--have joined forces with a team of engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists and anthropologists from the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Computer and Information Science, School of Engineering, the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies, University of Arkansas, and the Department of Anthropology, University of Denver, to begin a large-scale, subsurface surveying project using equipment and techniques that may one day serve as a model for future archaeological efforts worldwide.
31 JANUARY 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Dr. Gregory L. Possehl, Curator of the Asian section, University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, was made an Honorary Fellow of the Indian Archaeology Society in recognition of his life-long contribution to India archaeology, especially the study of the enigmatic Harappan Civilization (2500-1900 B.C.). The award was confired at the Society's annual meeting held at the Rai Uma Nath Bali Auditorium in Lucknow, India, 28-31 December 2004.
Artifacts are Part of Famous Museum Collection from the Site of Ur and the Royal Tombs at Ur in Iraq
02 AUGUST 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—More than 800 copper, copper-alloy and iron objects, all about 4,500 years old and excavated in the 1920s and early 1930s at Ur (a site in modern-day Iraq), and at the royal tombs of Ur , are receiving the conservation treatment and rehousing that they need, thanks to a competitive grant awarded to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology from the Conservation Project Support program of the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
08 SEPTEMBER 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—On September 7, eight adventurous archaeologists are scheduled to set sail on a voyage from Oman to India on the Magan, a small boat made of reeds covered with black bitumen tar, as they seek to recreate the voyages of ancient mariners of 4,500 years ago--and prove that it is possible to travel across a 500-mile stretch of the sea in a boat made with Bronze Age technology, propelled by the wind and navigated by the sun and the stars. The reconstructed "Black Boat of Magan" was undertaken by the Joint Hadd Project of which the University of Pennsylvania Museum's curator of the Asian Section, Dr. Gregory L. Possehl. is a co-director, along with colleagues Dr. Maurizio Tosi at the University of Bologna (who is the acknowledged "god father" of the Magan Boat) and Dr. Serge Cleuziou of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris. Joined with their Omani collaborators, and Naval Architect Tom Vosmer, they have experimented for over five years with ancient reed boat technology and feel that the current craft is ready to go to sea.

US Presswire file photo
Great American Ball Park hosts the Nationals this weekend.
Davey Johnson preached consistency all week in Pittsburgh, so why change now? Fresh off a much-needed, 4-2 win over the Pirates, the Nationals manager is sending the exact same lineup out to face the Reds tonight in their series opener in Cincinnati (except for a swap of catchers, with Wilson Ramos back behind the plate).
The Nats' stagnant bats finally exploded last night, with Roger Bernadina, Adam LaRoche and Rick Ankiel all connecting for home runs. And now that they get to spend the weekend in the much-cozier Great American Ball Park, don't be surprised if you see some more power displays. This wouldn't be a bad place for Bryce Harper to club his first career homer.
It also wouldn't be a bad place for Gio Gonzalez to launch the first longball of his career. Call me crazy, but I could see the gregarious left-hander doing it tonight. He's been showing off some serious skills with the bat lately, and something tells me he might just be swinging for the fences when he steps to the plate against Mike Leake.
I'm not in Cincinnati for the series this weekend, going to spend some quality time with the family back here in D.C. But please continue and enjoy the conversation as always…

Somebody should say something nice about Stammen. Really locked the Reds in the closet for two innings. Troubles in the 8th are what happen when you try to play baseball on a pool table. I'm really getting to hat "Great American" park as much as the Citizens Bandbox.
- natsfan1a - May 12, 2012 at 12:14 PM
That note is awesome, NatsLady. Thanks for sharing.
- MicheleS - May 12, 2012 at 12:14 PM
Theo.. yup, Stammen has been critical. Who Knew! Glad to see Craig develop into a specialist role.Agree on the park.. yuk.. I like parks that are neutral and fair, not bandboxes or caverns.And NatsLady, that Axeford note was classic!
- Drew - May 12, 2012 at 12:25 PM
I appreciate the kid's passion, but Davey needs to post some NO BOPPO signs in the tunnel.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 12:53 PM
From notes on last night's game:Gonzalez gave up a pair of runs and didn't allow a homer in one of the majors' most hitter-friendly ballparks. He hasn't allowed a homer in his last eight starts since Sept. 23, a span of 50 innings that is the longest such streak of his career. It's also the longest active streak in the majors.
- baseballswami - May 12, 2012 at 12:59 PM
Considering the fact that something was not right with Gio last night and at times he struggled in that teeny weeny park – that was almost his most heroic performance. Strassie working out of a jam the night before, Gio bringing it when he was out of gas, Mattheus wriggling out of trouble, Stammen quietly getting it done. We are seeing some of that character that we have heard about.

That note from Axford is a classic – it should go to Cooperstown. I hope bam-bam does not have a concussion, as we've seen the timetable for returning will then become very dicey. A day or two off at this point won't be bad for the kid, but the team is feeding off his energy and needs him back.
- MicheleS - May 12, 2012 at 1:52 PM
FS.. on ESPN Sunday night in May at the Braves. They haven't posted the Sunday night Schedule beyond May, so we may get more. I am betting that Sunday Yankees game will be moved to a night game
- MicheleS - May 12, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Drew.. good one.. No Boppo…M20832.. i am happy for Nick J. Glad to see him get a dinger last night. I am actualy happy for O's fans as well, they have suffered under that owner. Not happy for that owner. Too bad Bud can't force him out like he did with McCourt.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Livo, loading the bases twice and getting out of it, for his first win in relief. Livo–don't you know who your friends are? Would one more walk have hurt ya?Regrettably, I fear Gio just answered the question of what will happen to the rotation when Chien-Ming Wang comes back.
- UnkyD - May 12, 2012 at 3:11 PM
Natslady:"Regrettably, I fear Gio just answered the question of what will happen to the rotation when Chien-Ming Wang comes back."———?!?!
- howl31 - May 12, 2012 at 3:28 PM
All I have to say is… thank goodness whatever hit Harper above his eye didn't hit him IN his eye… that could have brought his career to a grinding halt… Love the passion, but obviously that was completely stupid (and publically embarrassing) so hopefully he has learned his lesson… and let him ride the pine for 1 day to mull on how close he came to ruining his career…
- Steady Eddie - May 12, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Nats Lady, to echo Unkyd, was there supposed to be a link there? Very cryptic, do tell.
- Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - May 12, 2012 at 3:30 PM
@Scott: re Infield fly — the batter is out, therefore there is no force play if the ball falls. Once the ball hits the ground, the runners may advance at their risk, but don't have to, because there is no force–the batter is already out. On this particular play, since Zim did catch it in the air, we'll never know what kind of bounce it would have taken. It would be a little unusual for it to get away, but unusual stuff happens every day in baseball. Certainly not unheard of. Again, minor play in this game, but this rule always seems to need clarifications.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 3:31 PM
No link. I think Gio is hurt. Either some kind of leg strain or wrist or something. He bunted twice w/ two strikes so he either can't hit or doesn't want to get on base. And his beautiful curve pretty much went missing last night. I foresee one more start–hopefully–and then a DL stint.
- Steady Eddie - May 12, 2012 at 3:36 PM
Nats Lady, are you assuming DL? PLEASE — we've had more than our share of bad news on that front without projecting the worst on what may just have been a precautionary step for the evening. Kentucky of time to agonize about bad news IF and when it comes.
- FS=Faraz Shaikh - May 12, 2012 at 3:38 PM
thanks MicheleS for that ESPN comments. I really hope GioG isn't injured.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Eddie, not assuming. Just observing.
- Steady Eddie - May 12, 2012 at 3:41 PM
I'd hope if there was any question they'd let him miss a turn or two in the rotation and have Gorzy or Wang if he's back take it.And "Kentucky" out of "plenty"? Thank you autocorrect.
- D'Gourds - May 12, 2012 at 3:42 PM
Stammen is awesome!! I love that guy. I still think he's closer material. A strike throwing, nasty slider machine!
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 3:43 PM
Also, I feel it can't be a serious injury or he wouldn't have pitched yesterday, and just look at those K's! Probably something that rest and treatment will take care of. The chances of the Nats' starting five going from April to August–until Sras shutdown–is practically nil. That's why Rizzo got Ejax and (so far) refuses to trade Lannan.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Yes, Eddie, I think so too. They will not put him on the DL until absolutely necessary, they'll hold him out for a couple of starts and backdate it if he's not ready and CMW is pitching ok. CMW comes up and takes a couple of starts.
- TimDz - May 12, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Was looking for news on Gio and found nothing…Found myself looking at clips from last season and found this in MPHRod:http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=19647645&topic_id=players&query=type%3Djson%26player_id%3D469159%26start%3D0%26src%3Dvpp%26sort%3Ddesc%26sort_type%3Dcustom%26hitsPerPage%3D60&c_id=was&playerName=Henry RodriguezThis inning is one good example of why The Nats will not give up on him…
- Exposremains - May 12, 2012 at 3:57 PM
TimDz,That video reminded me that Hrod is effective when he throws his breaking pitches in the Strike zone not in the dirt.
- ehay2k - May 12, 2012 at 5:17 PM
TimDZ, thanks for that. Funny that in the video Henry was throwing 100MPH and under control, and recently he appears to have dialed it back (he was throwing 96-98) and is wild. I wonder if he is perhaps one of those guys who just needs to be throwing all-out in order to feel comfortable?At any rate, it's early, and he is definitely developing along with the other guys. Davey appears to be leaving these guys in when they struggle so they can learn to battle through tough innings. Riggleman would have given all of them the hook. Not much development going to happen there.
- Scott from Burke - May 12, 2012 at 5:22 PM
Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa said… Scott: re Infield fly –I know the rule..i'm sure you've seen bunts, where no infield fly rule is in effect, where th infielder drops the ball on purpose…i wish Zim had missed the ball, purposely or misplay…to see how the reds reacted…could have gotten out of the inning on that play…but i don't think the runners would have moved…brandon phillips had already been thrown out on a dumb play…couldnt see it happening again
- Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - May 12, 2012 at 5:30 PM
Too clever by half. That sort of thing will bite you in the ass often as not. That's why you almost never see it happen.
- baseballswami - May 12, 2012 at 5:47 PM
Gio – something was clearly wrong with him – not pitching arm related. Someone posted that they saw him wearing a cast on his right hand – not an elbow guard, a cast. Perhaps that's why he couldn't grip the bat? I think whatever it is they are thinking that it is not pitching related and will resolve by his next start. He also did not throw even one of his bugs bunny curves last night. Something going on and being kept very hush hush.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 6:11 PM
So my eighth-grade student comes in yesterday for her piano lesson sporting a Nats jersey and says breathlessly, "Oh, Miss Rose, I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND!!!" She can now name everyone on the team, but, of course, is totally in the tank for Bam-Bam (this was before he decided to go 0 for 6 last night–one extra at-bat for his head). Adolescent female crowd will bump the attendance by 10,000.
- MicheleS - May 12, 2012 at 6:47 PM
Natslady.. the Justin Bieber factor has kicked in. I am betting my niece will start asking to go to games. At which point, I will shoot myself.
- baseballswami - May 12, 2012 at 6:49 PM
College aged daughter of a friend – she is a crazy baseball fan — wants to come and visit me this summer. I am so sure I am not the attraction. She wants to see Bryce. He is still so young, Mormon and focused on baseball. I am sure that are some very determined young cleat chasers out there in DC that will be working overtime to try to get his attention. He could prove to be a challenge.
- peric - May 12, 2012 at 7:02 PM
No link. I think Gio is hurt. Either some kind of leg strain or wrist or something. Its the hand according to FP and Carp. Surprised no one asked Davey about it?
- peric - May 12, 2012 at 7:09 PM
At any rate, it's early, and he is definitely developing along with the other guys. Davey appears to be leaving these guys in when they struggle so they can learn to battle through tough innings. I will admit that I believe Riggleman would yank for Clippard and have him throw 3 innings … but in his defense Johnson doesn't care if the Nats fire him tomorrow. His wife would probably welcome it. Riggleman apparently was constantly worried about job security fostering a bad attitude. Johnson believes firmly in the philosophy of developing from within. He believes himself so good at advanced prospect development that he can win while accomplishing player development goals. So far Johnson has been putting his money where his mouth is. That's pretty rare in baseball. At his core Mike Rizzo believes the same as Johnson its just that he more inclined to use the minors for development, the majors for performance. I think Rizzo may be coming around to the idea that development must continue in the majors as well. But you need the right clubhouse, with a consensus on moving toward development goals as well as winning. Its working. Don't fix it.
- MicheleS - May 12, 2012 at 7:10 PM
According to Amanda and Kilgore.. BamBam is in the lineup tonight
- baseballswami - May 12, 2012 at 7:42 PM
Of course he is…. I do think he could have used a game off to slow things down a little. He looked like he was about to explode last night – oh, wait – he did explode. I bet he looks fierce right now. Even before this, I think the old Flintstones kid Bam-Bam nickname suited him. Hope it sticks. He is some intense kid.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 7:44 PM
Bourjos and Trout together in Angels lineup. (Pujols and his .192 BA are DH'ing).
- Theophilus T. S. - May 12, 2012 at 7:52 PM
NatsLady — I would put Harper down as 1 for 6, not 0h-fer. At least he made contact, albeit on the rebound.
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 8:10 PM
Twitter rumor: Nats are working on "big big" trade… FWIW.
- FS=Faraz Shaikh - May 12, 2012 at 8:21 PM
natslady, what's the source?
- NatsLady - May 12, 2012 at 8:40 PM
Josh Norris (NY/NJ writer.) Have no idea if he is reliable. Said he got it from someone "in the know."
- FS=Faraz Shaikh - May 12, 2012 at 9:06 PM
thanks NatsLady. Let's wait to hear more from our local or even more known National writers.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Nov. 11 he'll resist global pressure to drop the bid or wait until after Israeli elections on Jan. 22. That decision may spur Israel to halt the transfer of tax revenue to the Palestinian Authority, Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said this week.
"The political decision has been taken and the leadership has been very outspoken in saying that there will be repercussions, and we are willing to take these repercussions," Al Wazir, 49, said in an interview at his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah. From the window, there is a view of a large hole in the distance, where the monetary authority's new headquarters is being built, and on the wall hangs an artist's rendering of the project.

Side retired
By Freddy Berowski
"He's a player Major League history will never forget. His records will never be broken. There will never be another Rickey Henderson."
These were the words spoken by Rickey Henderson's best friend Dave Stewart last Saturday. Less than one week after his induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the Oakland Athletics retired Rickey Henderson's No. 24 in a pregame ceremony that Master of Ceremonies Ray Fosse called "the start of Rickey Henderson Month."
Only four days earlier, another member of the Hall of Fame's class of 2009 also had his uniform number retired. In a pregame ceremony, the man Red Sox manager Terry Francona called "one of the most dominating offensive players in the game," Jim Rice, had his No. 14 retired by the Boston Red Sox, the team he spent his entire career with. Among those in attendance were Rice's family and many of his former teammates, including fellow Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley and Carlton Fisk. Boston Mayor Tom Menino dubbed June 28, 2009 as "Jim Rice Day" throughout the city.
Unlike the specific rules for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, there are no specific guidelines provided by Major League Baseball for the honoring of an individual by retiring his uniform number. That decision – with the exception of the universal retirement of Jackie Robinson's No. 42 – is left entirely up to the teams.
The practice of retiring a number to honor a player began in 1939, 10 years after permanent uniform numbers were first introduced by the New York Yankees. Ironically, it was the Yankees that first retired Lou Gehrig's No. 4 in honor of their fatally ill Captain. The Yankees have retired 15 numbers to honor 16 players – No. 8 was retired in honor of both Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra – a Major League high.
Freddy Berowski is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

SEATTLE, Dec. 20, 2011 – Swedish recently learned that the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) certified four of its campuses to provide emergency cardiac care services to patients throughout the Puget Sound region. Swedish Cherry Hill and Swedish Edmonds received Level 1 designations, and Swedish First Hill and Swedish Ballard received Level 2 designations.
The DOH recently developed the emergency cardiac system to provide a consistent, statewide certification program that recognizes the level of emergency care available to cardiac patients in medical facilities across Washington state.
This new designation confirms Swedish's long standing role as a leader in providing critical cardiac care in emergency settings. The Level 1 designation for Swedish Cherry Hill and Swedish Edmonds signifies that both campuses have the full range of equipment and staffing to provide 24/7 percutaneous (catheter-based) cardiac interventions as a provision of the Level 1 emergency cardiac care designation.

.The Catholic Church has experienced an epidemic of sexual misconduct allegations and lawsuits in the United States. In some cases, evidence that the church knew of sexual misconduct and had effectively concealed them has created a dire social and legal predicament. Although U.S. Catholic bishops have adopted a zero-tolerance policy for its priests and ministers, the church still faces a long and costly road of litigation that any organization in which adults supervise children--especially religious institutions--would do well to learn from.
Such incidents of abuse claims may result not only in criminal charges, but in costly civil actions as well. As Jason Berry reports in his book, Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children, the Catholic Church alone has paid out over $400 million in clergy sexual abuse settlements and this total is expected to reach at least $1 billion before the spate of claims tapers off.
Cases of sexual abuse against children are both tragic and inexcusable. But as with any situation in which there are numerous claims of sexual abuse against a single defendant, some of those claims will be false. With grave sensitivity, it is the risk manager's duty to evaluate claims in light of this fact.
The Problem of False Claims
In 1993, the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, then archbishop of Chicago, was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Cincinnati by a former seminarian who alleged he was the victim of sexual abuse by Bernardin and another priest when Bernardin was archbishop of Cincinnati. The plaintiff, who at the time of the suit was dying of AIDS, had apparently recovered a "memory" of the abuse while undergoing hypnosis performed by an unlicensed hypnotist. The lawsuit against Bernardin was widely publicized, but three months later, the plaintiff dropped the lawsuit and recanted his allegations against Bernardin.
In 2002, an accusation of abuse against Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles generated a huge media stir, if not an actual lawsuit. A woman alleged that Mahony sexually abused her in 1970 when she was a student at a Catholic high school in Fresno, California. She claimed she was knocked unconscious during a fight with other students and when she awoke her underwear was missing and Mahony was standing nearby. The Los Angeles Times reported that this woman said she was motivated to press forward with her charges thirty-two years later because the state was cutting her disability payments and she needed "a cash settlement from the Church." The woman admitted to having been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and she told the Los Angeles Times nearly everyone she had encountered in her life, including her parents, other family members, classmates and coworkers, had molested, abused or emotionally mistreated her. The Fresno Bee reported that the woman admitted she did not know if she was molested or even touched by Mahony. "All I said was that when I opened my eyes, some of my clothes were gone and he was the only one around. I was unconscious. I don't know if he molested me, but he could have," the woman told the paper. Mahony yeas later cleared.
Why False Claims Are Made
The reasons behind a false claim are varied. Some claims may be intentionally fabricated to obtain a monetary award or to gain revenge, but this is uncommon. More likely, a false claim could be the result of a psychological illness. For example, the false accuser could suffer from an erotomanic delusion in which the individual believes that he or she is in love with another (such as the alleged abuser). Or, a false claim could stem from a persecutory delusion in which a person feels conspired against, harassed or abused.
Personality disorders are one source of psychological illness that may cause a person to make a false accusation. Exhibited by late adolescence or early adulthood these disorders influence the way individuals perceive, interact and respond to their environment. Borderline personality disorder, for example, is characterized by pervasive patterns of instability with interpersonal relationships, self-image and mood. These individuals often have dramatic shifts in their view of others, can exhibit borderline rage, and engage in punitive and vindictive acts in retaliation against an authority figure's perceived rejection of them. Histrionic personality disorder, on the other hand, is characterized by excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, which can result in a wish to assume the role of a victim.
Autistic fantasy, a psychological defense mechanism, compels an individual to deal with emotional conflict or stress by excessive daydreaming as a substitute for human relationships. Such individuals may daydream about a sexual relationship or inappropriate sexual behavior and convince themselves that it has occurred.
Projective identification, another defense mechanism, may induce an individual to falsely attribute to others his or her own unacceptable feelings, impulses or thoughts.
Misdirected Accusations
Some of those who lodge false claims of abuse against authority figures such as priests, ministers, teachers or coaches have in fact been abused--sometimes on several occasions by different perpetrators--but not by the individual targeted in the claim. What accounts for the misdirected accusation?
One culprit could be displacement, a psychological defense mechanism in which an individual deals with an emotional conflict or internal or external stressors by transferring a feeling about one object onto another (usually less threatening) object. Just as an employee abused by her spouse might, via displacement, accuse a supervisor of abusing her because she cannot come to terms emotionally with the reality of spousal abuse, so too might a person abused by a parent displace his feelings of anger onto a priest, teacher or other authority figure who was present during that time when he suffered abuse.
In the book, Sexual Abuse in Christian Homes and Churches, Carolyn Haggen reports that the best predictor of sexual abuse of a child by his or her parent is alcoholism, followed by a conservative religious belief. This may set the stage for an individual who was in regular contact with someone in the clergy and who has been abused within the family context, but accuses a member of the clergy of the abuse via displacement.
Factitious Disorder
The concept of factitious sexual harassment might also have some pertinence to false claims of clergy sexual abuse. A factitious disorder is characterized by physical or psychological symptoms that are intentionally produced in order to assume the sick role. The late Sara Feldman-Schorrig, M.D., who coined this term, observed that some who file sexual harassment claims do so as a result of a need to portray themselves as victims.
Schorrig cites several reasons why someone would feel the need to assume victim status, including the need to process feelings of distress resulting from abuse from other sources, the eliciting of emotional support and the opportunity to release anger against an identifiable target. The individual may also gratify preexisting needs for revenge. Or the victim role can be a means of converting socially unacceptable disabilities into socially acceptable conditions as a way to elicit sympathy and concern from family, to obtain status or to obtain financial reward.
Schorrig concludes that the possible existence of a factitious disorder on the part of a claimant alleging sexual abuse "at the very least" has a bearing on the "credibility or lack thereof" of the claimant.Recovered Memories
Other claimants of abuse may be troubled personalities who are especially vulnerable to suggestion by therapists, attorneys or laypersons.
Some claims of clergy sexual abuse are brought years after the alleged abuse occurred. Such claims often rely on "recovered memories," a controversial psychological technique that purports to uncover patients' repressed memories of abuse and other emotional traumas. Plaintiffs may allege that memories of abuse were recently recovered so that they can surmount the statute of limitations problem that otherwise would result from bringing a claim many years after the alleged event. Many states provide that the limitations period for the filing of claims for childhood sexual abuse is tolled during the period in which the plaintiff has no memory of such abuse. This is also known as the "delayed discovery rule."

X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light.
An x-ray machine sends individual x-ray particles through the body. The images are recorded on a computer or film.
The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office. How you are positioned depends on the type of x-ray being done. Several different x-ray views may be needed.
You need to stay still when you are having an x-ray. Motion can cause blurry images. You may be asked to hold your breath or not move for a second or two when the image is being taken.
The following are common types of x-rays:
Before the x-ray, tell your health care team if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or if you have an IUD inserted.
Metal can cause unclear images. You will need to remove all jewelry and you may need to wear a hospital gown.
X-rays are painless. Some body positions needed during an x-ray may be uncomfortable for a short time.
X-rays are monitored and regulated so you get the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image.
For most x-rays, the risk of cancer or defects is very low. Most experts feel that the benefits of appropriate x-ray imaging greatly outweigh any risks.
Young children and babies in the womb are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays. Tell your health care provider if you think you might be pregnant.
