Paris-Roubaix - Mavic at the heart of the action
Short documentary following the Mavic Neutral Assistance team for a bumpy ride on course during the 104th edition of Paris-Roubaix. Preparing wheels and vehicles for this demanding, 258km race is a big task. And for the most intimate view of the technical challenges, the filmmakers go behind the handlebars of the yellow motorbikes ridden by the Mavic technicians to see the attacks, breaks, crashes and punctures up close. Thanks to CyclingTips for the heads up
It's from back in 2011, but I really like the jump-cut GoPro wheel change edits. Very French.

Credit Unions Hit 100 Millionth Membership
Credit unions have reached and surpassed 100 million memberships nationwide – equating to one in every three Americans – J. Scott Sullivan, President and CEO of the Nebraska Credit Union League, announced today. The 100 million memberships count is based on data collected from credit unions and compiled by CUNA in its June 2014 "Monthly Credit Union Estimates." CUNA estimates that credit union memberships expanded by 2.9% in the past 12 months (June 2013 to June 2014), and the 100 million mark was eclipsed in June. This represents a continuation (and acceleration) of trends previously reported: In 2013 memberships expanded by 2.5% and in 2012 memberships grew 2.1%. CUNA expects the membership growth to continue in the second half of 2014 and exceed the full-year growth of the previous year. Read the full Press Release.

Cooper's BBQ
Cooper's BBQ Review
This Texas legend is serious about barbecue, and it expects no less from its clientele. Just look for the smokestacks rising from the tin-roofed portacache and the swarm of Texas-sized pickup trucks lining the parking lot. The menu is literally what's on display in the open pits that greet you at the entrance. Pick your meat from brisket, sausage, smoked turkey, ribs, or whatever else they have on hand for the day and step in line for the typical barbecue sides including cole slaw, potato salad, and plenty of doughy, white bread. Park your tray where you can find a seat at one of the long picnic tables in or outside, but not before grabbing a few pickles, onions, and a bowl of beans from the serve-yourself condiment bar.

Marty Steinberg, four other attorneys join Bilzin Sumberg
Send this story to a friend

- Reporter- South Florida Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Five attorneys from Hunton & Williams' litigation practice, including veterans Marty Steinberg and Jeffrey Gutchess, are leaving to join Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP.
Steinberg was co-managing partner at Hunton & Williams' Miami office and had helped build the litigation practice there for 13 years. At the age of 65, however, he became ineligible under the firm's rules to continue serving in a leadership position.
Steinberg is a former U.S. Senate chief counsel and chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Office in New York. He will serve as co-chairman of Bilzin Sumberg's litigation practice with the current chairman, Michael Kreitzer.
Bilzin Sumberg managing partner John Sumberg said the firm has grown so much that it is now asking for 9,000 square feet of more space in its headquarters building, 1450 Brickell, which is about 90 percent leased.
"What's happened is, client demand has resulted in a need for more professionals," Sumberg said. "Marty and I have been very close friends. We had always talked about working together. The recent discussions about him making this move didn't go on very long. Among other things, he likes our local market penetration."
Sumberg said Steinberg and Gutchess bring depth in high-profile, complex litigation matters nationwide. He said they deepen the bench in a wide range of specialties, including class actions, international arbitration, patent litigation, corporate and securities litigation, government investigations, white-collar defense and health care.
Steinberg and Gutchess, along with the three departing associate attorneys, have represented Fortune 500 companies in litigation matters across a variety of practices and industries. Their clients have included major multinational corporations such as Bacardi, Carnival Corp. and PLC (NYSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) and Ryder System (NYSE: R).

The Hollywood Reporter announced that Craig Brewer, of Hustle and Flow fame, has just signed to write and direct Mother Trucker for New Regency. Trucker will be Brewer's first film since 2006's Black Snake Moan, which was met with mixed reviews to say the least. Brewer has been working on the music-centered Web series $5 Cover for MTV, but he appears to be ready to get back to the big screen.
Trucker is based on an article by Steven Russell, which originally appeared in Maxim magazine. Russell's article was about a man who led the police on a merry chase in a big rig for the noblest of reasons: a sick mom. According to THR, Brewer's script will center on a "man who escapes from jail, steels an 18-wheeler and heads across the South to see his dying mother." The feature was pitched as an "action-comedy", as well as an update on the 1977 Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason chase flick, Smokey and the Bandit.
Back in March, Eric had brought us the news that Brewer would be directing a feature film version of Sudhir Venkatesh's book Gang Leader for a Day, and since Trucker is still in the early stages of development, we will have to see which flick is going to reach the finish line first. Personally, I'm rooting for Gang Leader, because I'm a sucker for all-things 'Freakonomic'. Not to mention the only other 'trucker movies' I could think of were Over the Top and Black Dog, and those particular flicks probably aren't the best calling card for the genre.

I wish I was kidding:↵
… the official numbers are out, and last night's Packers-Vikings game is officially the most watched cable program of all time, and is also the biggest audience ESPN has garnered in their thirty years as a network. The game ended up with a 15.3, which translates to 21.8 million viewers (P2+), and beat out the Eagles-Cowboys game from last year by 2.0 ratings points.↵
That means more people watched Jon Gruden gush over Brett Favre than watched "The Sopranos" finale, among numerous other things, like the current season of "Mad Men," which has been brilliant. NFL fans were already on board. Now TV snobs can join in. Everybody hates Brett! Check your local listings.

By Gayle Jo Carter, Special for USA TODAY
Ice Road Trucker Alex Debogorski wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, fighter pilot or Indian chief.
"And then my wife got pregnant," Debogorski says. And so, the born-and-bred resident of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, went to work doing anything he could to earn money.
"I had about 16 jobs that first year in the vicinity of $2, $2.50 an hour," he recalls. For a pay raise, Debogorski took up driving trucks. For even better money, he started taking on the dangerous job of hauling goods on ice roads.
Now of course, thanks to History Channel's series Ice Road Truckers (Sundays, 9 p.m. ET/PT), there's his other career: celebrity.
"The beauty of this reality television is that it makes a hero out of the guy next door," says Debogorski, 56. But he's quick to acknowledge that in some ways, he's not the guy next door because "I've argued and pushed the envelope all my life as far as people saying, 'You can't have so many kids (he has 11, ages 10 to 38), you can't do this.' I ran for mayor (of Yellowknife) and people said, 'Well, you can't run.' I think I'm an example (of a person) being worldly and not going anywhere. And now of course, I guess I'm going somewhere."
To go "somewhere," Debogorski put what he calls his "notoriety" to work. With that in mind, he's writing a book, due in November. Although the publishers want "more Ice Road Truckers," Debogorski promises to tell the "mad" tales of his youth, including at least one involving a bear.
"I'm hoping people can get some belly laughs out of it," Debogorski says. "It will give a good idea of Alex. Alex, the Ice Road Trucker, Alex, the family guy ..."
Songwriting is another avenue opening up for the tell-it-like-it-is trucker. He has been writing poetry and lyrics for years; his first song, Ice Road Trucker, is on the third volume of Truckers Tracks.
"I gave (Grammy-nominated vocalist Johnny Neel) lyrics for half a dozen to 10 songs last year, so I'm hoping to have a couple more come out," he says. "I'd be pretty tickled if my lyrics could be put to music and be interesting to the general public."
Throw in some public speaking (motivational, educational and experiential) along with History's latest white-knuckle series, Ice Road Truckers: Himalayas, due this fall, and it's clear Debogorski is making full use of his newfound fame.
"A lot of people say, 'Oh, that must be lots of fun' when they talk to me about my new career," he says. "I say: 'My life has always been fun to a degree, but it's work. This is my new job.' "
So is the TV Alex Debogorski the real Alex Debogorski?
"That's pretty well Alex," he says. But he adds: "I'm more complicated than that."
Though the show may portray him as fearless, Debogorski says, he's not. "I think they may make some of the things that happen more exciting, but then on other occasions, when I'm scared, then you're not going to feel it watching TV. As scary as it might look, it's not going to be as scary as it might be for me."
As a younger trucker, Debogorski admits he engaged in foolish and unhealthy behavior to relieve the stresses of the job. But those days are gone.
"Now I'm getting too old," he says. "The good Lord with his infinite ways, including his infinite sense of humor, decided that 30 wouldn't have been a good time to make me a movie star because I would have done too much damage. So he decided I was going to be a movie star at 60, so I'm becoming the Britney Spears of the trucking world," he says, laughing. "I probably (will) look better than she will at 60."

Researcher makes gambling into charity
The modern American is overwhelmed by immersive entertainment. As a consequence, a high level of engagement is required to hold the average attention span.
PledgeYourBets.com, a gambling website, attempts to combat this lack of attention using the theory of "gamification," in hopes of eliciting the philanthropist within us all.
The website offers a new perspective on charity, Michael Lindemuth, co-founder of the website and a research engineer at the USF College of Marine Science, said.
"What we're trying to do is solve the problem of donor engagement," he said.
Pledge Your Bets encourages charity by fostering competition, he said.
Users place bets against each other on contests ranging from the Super Bowl to the Academy Awards.
The user selects an event and then chooses from a list of charities. Once the wages are placed, the pledges from the bettors are collected into a pool and distributed to the charities selected by the winners.
Of the money pledged, 90 percent goes directly to charitable causes. A cut from the remaining 10 percent is spent on overhead costs, including credit card transaction fees, leaving some compensation for Lindemuth and his partner.
The site currently has $2 pledged toward one charity. Lindemuth said he thinks this is an innovative use of gambling, in which everyone is a winner to some degree.
"You're not losing your money — you're giving your money. And it will be to a good charity, even if it's not the one you wanted," he said.
Though none of the money can be recouped, the psychological euphoria is reward enough, Lindemuth said.
"When you win at the casino, you keep wanting to come back," he said. "Winning money for your charity is just as engaging."
According to Lindemuth, the concept has gotten a largely positive response from active gamblers.
Lindemuth said a speculator could play the odds, potentially netting his charity a large return with a small investment. The infrequent, yet ample victory is one of the psychological reinforcements practiced by "gamification."
"If you put $1 on the Buccaneers, and there's $100 behind the Patriots, you could actually win $100 for your charity," he said.
The website, which went live Oct. 28, appeals to the technologically inclined, Ken Klatt, the other co-founder, said and he hopes to connect fraternities and sororities with the site.
The majority of Greek organizations have philanthropy officers who should be intrigued by the premise, Klatt said.
"Fraternities can turn intramural competition with one another into philanthropic activities," he said.
Pledge Your Bets will eventually incorporate a social aspect, adding teams and leaderboards. Fraternities will be able to compare statistics, comparing their members with those of rival fraternities, Lindemuth said.
Lindemuth said he would also like to add badges — tokens awarded for various achievements such as winning a certain percentage of wagers, or donating a certain sum of money, a type of reward system that is a cornerstone of "gamification."
Lindemuth said the idea came to him two years ago from a thread he saw on Reddit, a social news and entertainment website. A poster claimed it would donate $100 to the most requested, or up-voted, charity if the New York Jets lost to the Denver Broncos. Ironically, the most up-voted charity was the Tim Tebow Foundation, the charity endorsed by Denver's then-quarterback.
"The irony really hit me," he said. "I thought that was a really good concept."
Lindemuth met Klatt at Startup Weekend, an event held across the country to promote innovative entrepreneurship. Pledge Your Bets won second place as a startup business.
It was a rough start, Lindemuth said.
A law was passed that restricted gambling soon after their partnership began.
As a result, their business model changed.
Originally, only the losers had to follow through with donating their pledges, being forced to donate to the charities chosen by the winners.
Currently, they are ensuring donors can claim tax deductions under state law.
With engaging interactivity and just a touch of marketing, Lindemuth said he hopes "gamification" will compel those with a sense of risk and altruism to visit the website often.

Brahui language, isolated member of the Dravidian languages that is spoken in south-central and western Pakistan. In the early 21st century Brahui was spoken by more than two million people.
Brahui's isolation from the other Dravidian languages (all of which are spoken in eastern, central, and southern India) has resulted in heavy borrowing from surrounding non-Dravidian languages, including Balochi, Sindhi, and Persian. In part because it is not a written language, Brahui is being displaced by neighbouring languages. Many of its speakers are already bilingual.

JoAnna Kettell nets her 50th goal
SUNY-Old Westbury senior JoAnna Kettell is intent on finishing her soccer career with a bang as she scored two goals in the Panthers' 3-2 win over SUNY Purchase in a Skyline Conference game.
Kettell, a Hauppauge resident who assisted on Stephanie Maybie's winning goal in the 76th minute on Monday, scored in the 48 and 74th minutes for Old Westbury (10-7, 4-3). Kettell's second goal was the 50th of her career. The Panthers locked up the fourth seed for the Skyline playoffs and will host No. 5 Mt. St. Vincent in a quarterfinal on Saturday.

The Winds of Change
She swings by herself. Grabs the chains that hold the brown plastic rectangle that serves as a seat. Her muscular arms pull her up deftly and her bottom plops down. Her legs that are a full two inches longer than they were in June start to pump. Feet flex as her legs straighten and toes point as legs fold. Soon, very soon, actually unbelievably soon, she has a momentum that would satisfy any child. I am sitting in the swing next to her and she is chattering away about the dog and his bone and the hole he dug, but I am lost in the sight of her wispy hair and the way it covers her round cheeks as the swing takes her back and wiggles in the air like an octopus's tentacles as the swing moves her forward.
"Slow down," I long to say, but I know it isn't about the swing. It's not about the swing at all. Read the rest of this entry »

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that he and visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had agreed on the construction of two new blocks at Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant, Interfax reported.
Putin said the new units at the Paks plant south of Budapest would double the capacity of the power station, which is now 2 gigawatts.
The head of Russia's Rosatom says Russia is offering Hungary up to 10 billion euros for the construction of the new units.

Komatsu America Corp. is announcing the introduction of its new EPA certified Tier 4 Final diesel engines, built on Komatsu's engineering improvements to reduce emissions. In addition, most machines will see reductions in fuel consumption below the already low levels that have long been a hallmark of the Komatsu product line, according to the company. The Tier 4 Final technology will be integrated into Komatsu America's construction and mining engines ranging in size from 3.3 to 46 liters and start commercial production in January 2014.
New regulations effective in 2014 require the reduction of NOx emissions to one tenth or below levels required by preceding regulations. Komatsu's Tier 4 Final solution builds on the Komatsu technologies utilized for Tier 4 Interim engines. Examples of these Komatsu-developed technologies include: next-generation high-pressure common rail fuel injection (HPCR) system; high-efficiency exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system; Komatsu Variable Geometry Turbocharger (KVGT); and Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF).
According to the company, these Komatsu Tier 4 Interim technologies have been well received by customers in North America. In addition to refining these technologies through Komatsu's continuous improvement activities, Komatsu has also developed a newly designed proprietary Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) device. This Tier 4 Final solution with the addition of SCR provides a high amount of passive regeneration of the KPDF with minimal impact on machine operation and production.

Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses: Shifting the Focus from Teaching to Learning Assessing Student Learning: A Common Sense Guide Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teachers ASHE Reader on College Student Development Theory Editorial Reviews: SynopsisWhile there is consensus that institutions need to represent their educational effectiveness through documentation of student learning, the higher education community is divided between those who support national standardized tests to compare institutions' educational effectiveness, and those who believe that valid assessment of student achievement is based on assessing the work that students produce along and at the end of their educational journeys. This book espouses the latter philosophy—what Peggy Maki sees as an integrated and authentic approach to providing evidence of student learning based on the work that students produce along the chronology of their learning. She believes that assessment needs to be humanized, as opposed to standardized, to take into account the demographics of institutions, as students do not all start at the same place in their learning. Students also need the tools to assess their own progress. In addition to updating and expanding the contents of her first edition to reflect changes in assessment practices and developments over the last seven years, such as the development of technology-enabled assessment methods and the national need for institutions to demonstrate that they are using results to improve student learning, Maki focuses on ways to deepen program and institution-level assessment within the context of collective inquiry about student learning. Recognizing that assessment is not initially a linear start-up process or even necessarily sequential, and recognizing that institutions develop processes appropriate for their mission and culture, this book does not take a prescriptive or formulaic approach to building this commitment. What it does present is a framework, with examples of processes and strategies, to assist faculty, staff, administrators, and campus leaders to develop a sustainable and shared core institutional process that deepens inquiry into what and how students learn to identify and improve patterns of weakness that inhibit learning. This book is designed to assist colleges and universities build a sustainable commitment to assessing student learning at both the institution and program levels. It provides the tools for collective inquiry among faculty, staff, administrators and students to develop evidence of students' abilities to integrate, apply and transfer learning, as well as to construct their own meaning. Each chapter also concludes with (1) an Additional Resources section that includes references to meta-sites with further resources, so users can pursue particular issues in greater depth and detail and (2) worksheets, guides, and exercises designed to build collaborative ownership of assessment.The second edition now covers: * Strategies to connect students to an institution's or a program's assessment commitment* Description of the components of a comprehensive institutional commitment that engages the institution, educators, and students--all as learners* Expanded coverage of direct and indirect assessment methods, including technology-enabled methods that engage students in the process* New case studies and campus examples covering undergraduate, graduate education, and the co-curriculum* New chapter with case studies that presents a framework for a backward designed problem-based assessment process, anchored in answering open-ended research or study questions that lead to improving pedagogy and educational practices* Integration of developments across professional, scholarly, and accrediting bodies, and disciplinary organizations* Descriptions and illustrations of assessment management systems* Additional examples, exercises, guides and worksheets that align with new content CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

The staff is really cool "Buena onda", as they say in Chile and they are constantly attentive towards you. There are always people in the house with whom you can share. The areas which are common to everyone are large, and there you can "carretear", which means to party around, but you can rest and relax. Breakfast is included in the price, very good, varied and it is served to you at your own table. We are continuing our trip. We are sure that we will go back. Hugs to everybody……

Great location in leafy boulevard near universities, felt quite safe walking around at night. Friendly helpful staff at hostel who cook a lovely breakfast, which is included. Our private room was clean and comfortable. Only negative to say is the floor boards are very squeaky when people are walking around so sleep a bit disturbed. On the plus side the old colonidal building did have a lot of character and a lot of space. Good communal areas. Great location 25min walk to mainplaza 5 min to metro

It's not in the center of the city but you can still walk there. The walk from the bus stop to the hostel is about 5 to 9 blocks (depending on which stop you arrive at). The hostel itself is tidy, nice and clean. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was nice (eggs, bread, jam and fruits).

Geoff Thomas keen on Palace job
Former Crystal Palace player Geoff Thomas has put himself forward for the vacant manager's job at Selhurst Park.
• Daly: Jedinak can help Palace
Thomas, an ex-England international, made 249 appearances for the Eagles and captained the side in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia shortly after his retirement in 2002 meant he was forced to switch his focus away from football.
However, Thomas, who has had no previous managerial experience, has confirmed he would love to succeed Ian Holloway at Palace.
"I was seriously interested in staying in football until I was diagnosed with the illness and my priorities completely changed," Thomas told the Croydon Advertiser.
"I would love the opportunity to get back into football but it's risky. There are a few people who have said they'd take them with me to Palace and I would jump at that but they haven't ended up getting the job.
"There are a few jobs that I would take no questions asked and if Palace came knocking that would be it, my bags would be packed immediately. It seems like all my teammates have had a go, so I think I could do it. [Palace chairman] Steve Parish has got my number."
Palace have now been searching for a new manager for four weeks, with Dynamo Moscow boss Dan Petrescu reportedly rejecting an offer, while current favourite Tony Pulis would not speak about the subject with the Press Association on Tuesday.
"I think if you appoint a stop-gap option until the summer now you miss one of the two windows of opportunity where you've got a chance to do something with the side," Thomas added.
"I know [caretaker manager] Keith Millen personally and he really is a top guy, but I think if he was given the job then he would be worried about damaging his reputation. I think that's what a lot of people are worried about.
"I know a guy who if the job came up last year he would have been in the frame, but now a year later he's not flavour of the month. Football moves on very quickly.''
Elsewhere, Eagles midfielder Jonny Williams has stepped up his recovery from an ankle injury picked up in September.
The Wales international returned to action on Tuesday, playing the first half of Palace under-21s' 4-3 win against Queens Park Rangers.

SANTIAGO, CHILE: The Americans are favoured to add another notch on their victory belt when they take on Chile in the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round in Santiago.
This will be the fifth meeting between the two nations and USA has an unblemished record. However, you never know what could happen in Davis Cup as the competition has been known to throw up more than a few surprises during its 110-year history.
The tie opens on Friday with the Chilean No.1 Paul Capdeville playing John Isner, and then veteran Nicolas Massu faces Andy Roddick.
The doubles on day two has Massu teaming up with Jorge Aguilar against Bob and Mike Bryan, the best combination in the world, before the final day's reverse singles sees the No. 1s going head-to-head, Capdeville and Roddick, and then the tie closing with Massu and Isner.
The American captain Jim Courier is making his debut in that role and while he is no stranger to Davis Cup, having been a player in 16 ties, this is a different feeling.
"I think I'm the right amount of nervous," Courier said. "I have that excited kind of nervous which is what I'd expect to have at the moment. I'm not sure what I'll exactly feel like tomorrow when we walk out there but it'll be a different experience. I've thought a lot about it."
On the other side of the net the Chilean captain Hans Gildemeister was also a player, but he's been in the captain's role far longer and is expecting a tough three days of close tennis.
"Nicolas Massu has been practicing the whole week at the same time we play," Gildemeister said. "I think it's a good draw for us because Andy Roddick has a lot of pressure to beat Nicolas because he's ranked No. 8 and has a very good Davis Cup record.
"Nicolas is going to fight and not give any points away and I think the way he has played the last few days, he can do some damage to Andy.
"This is why the Americans brought their best team – the Bryans in the doubles, Andy and John Isner in singles. We are going to try very hard and give them pressure in the beginning and if (my players) are fine we can do damage."
The last time the two nations met in Davis Cup was on the grass at Mission Hills, California five years ago, when the Americans won 3-2. The last time they played in Chile was at the same facility as this weekend, Estadio Nacional, but that was way back in 1978.
The full draw is listed below.

Late last fall, as Drew Storen stood in center field shagging flies while the Nationals finished batting practice, he noticed one of the Phillies pitchers extending into the outfield while he played catch to warm up. It was not just any Phillies pitcher. It was Brad Lidge, their closer, the one non-teammate in the major leagues he revered more than any other player
"He's the guy that I always looked up," Storen said. "He's had his ups and downs and he's been a stable guy. My dad [a sports radio broadcaster] would talk about him standing there and facing every single question, just facing the music. It's just somebody I had tremendous respect for."
Storen felt nervous, but he decided, yes, he should introduce himself. "It was like, 'OK, I'm a rookie. he probably has no idea who I am.' I just kind of went up to him, I was like, 'Hey man, I just want to shake your hand.' "
Lidge shook Storen's and told him it was nice to meet him, that he had good stuff. Storen realized that Lidge, in fact, knew exactly who he was.
"I was just so blown away," Storen said. "That was really cool. It's something that doesn't sink, when I guy that I look up to knows who I am or even knows my name halfway. It just shows what a good guy he is."
Closers, on one level, all play for the same team. No one can understand the specific pressure of their job quite like other closers. Lidge appreciated Storen's want to learn more about the game and the role.
"I always respect young guys when they come up and ask questions and want to talk baseball," Lidge said. "I was fortunate. I had Billy Wagner and Octavio Dotel when I came up. I had them to mentor me. I think he's kind of reaching out and saying, 'I want to get better. I want to learn more about the game.' I respect that a lot. When you're young and you've got good stuff and got a good head, that's a good sign for him in the future to be a really good closer in the major leagues."
That day last fall, Lidge and Storen chatted about several topics, including how to come back after blowing a save. Lidge has carried his fair share of those. Albert Pujols's home run off Lidge in the 2005 NLCS is one of the more famous blasts in recent years, the one that flew just about out Minute Maid Park and nearly cost the Astros the series. He struggled at the start of next season, but he eventually re-established him as one of the game's best closer and converted every save chance as he helped the Phillies win the 2008 World Series, of which Lidge recorded the final out. The next year, he blew 10 saves. He relied on what Wanger told him years ago: "It's baseball. It happens. Don't beat yourself up. Just come back and get ready to throw tomorrow."
Before Lidge and Storen met, Storen had allowed a walk-off home run to Jayson Werth, a blast that capped a brutal inning in Philadelphia. Watching in the other bullpen was Lidge.
"I remember the next outing he had, I remember paying attention a little bit just to see," Lidge said. "Any closer, when you're in this game long enough, you're going to have bad games. I've had plenty of them. After he had a bad game, he responded the next time by coming out and doing really well. Besides that, I think he's got really good stuff."
So bouncing back was one of the topics that came up in their first conversation. "This isn't unique," Lidge told Storen. "This happens to everyone."
The conversation ended when Storen jogged into the Nationals clubhouse. He remembered what Lidge told him and tried to apply it. It meant something to him that a veteran would take the time to talk to him, a rookie, and it meant even more that he knew his name.
Lidge is traveling with the Phillies, sitting out on the disabled list as he recovers from a shoulder injury that surfaced during spring training. He still may have a slight impact on this current series at Nationals Park, thanks to his meeting with Storen in the outfield.
"It's something," Storen said, "I won't forget."
The Nationals finally struck against Roy Halladay, but he smothered their ninth-inning rally and they lost 3-2 to set up a rubber match tomorrow.
Syracuse was postponed for the second straight day against Pawtucket.
New Brunswick 4, Harrisburg 3:Stephen Lombardozzi went 2 for 4 with a double and a home run.Bill Rhinehart went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. Brad Meyers allowed four earned runs on nine hits and no walks in 4 2/3 innings, striking out five.
Winston-Salem 3, Potomac 2 (Game 1, 10 innings):Steven Souza went 2 for 4 with a home run. Paul Demny allowed one earned run in 5 2/3 innings on three hits and a walk, striking out four.
Potomac 3, Winston-Salem 2 (Game 2, seven innings): Steven Souza went 2 for 3 with a triple. Francisco Soriano went 2 for 3 with a triple.

Publisher's Description
Camille Weller has arrived as the first African-American attending in the trauma service of the Medical College of Virginia. Never mind that the locker rooms are labeled "doctors" and "nurses" rather than "men" and "women" or that her dark skin communicates "incapable" to many of her white male colleagues in the OR. Camille has battled prejudices her entire career, but those battles were small spats compared to what she faces now.
When a colleague discovers a lump in her breast, she believes Dr. Camille Weller is the best doctor for her. Together, they decide on a course of treatment that bucks the established medical system, keeping Camille firmly in the crosshairs of male surgeons already riddled with skepticism and suspicion.
Her success as a surgeon is jeopardized further when dark whispers from her childhood in Africa plague Camille's thoughts. Bewildering panic attacks instill fear in a surgeon bent on maintaining the control, pace, and direction of her own life. Unable to shake the flashes of memory, Camille is forced to face a past she has not acknowledged since the death of her father on an African mission field. Who was he? Who was she? And why would either of those answers affect her present?
