For more than a decade, Rep. Devin Nunes has been about as reliably Republican as they come.
Never one to shy away from controversy or to speak his mind, the Tulare Republican has openly touted a conservative political agenda.
He has called opponents of a new reservoir above Lake Millerton "radical environmentalists."
He has clashed with congressional Democrats and spent a good amount of campaign cash waging a political war against Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
In his book titled "Restoring the Republic," Nunes said environmental lobbyists were "followers of neo-Marxist, socialist, Maoist or Communist ideals." Global warming claims were called "hysteria" spread by a "Doomsday cult."
So it's startling that this week Nunes has been attacked by some Republicans — especially Tea Party members — for not being far enough to the political right.
He has since been called a sellout, a capitulator and, a favorite of Republicans who feel some politician isn't holding up the party's principles, a RINO — or "Republican In Name Only."
It all came after Nunes referred to his hard-line Republican House colleagues as "lemmings with suicide vests" for letting the government shut down over opposition to the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
For the record, Nunes opposes the law. But he thinks shutting down the government over it is a losing strategy for his party, and one that could hurt it politically in the long run.
"All I'm doing is stating the obvious, that we don't have the votes," Nunes said Friday in an interview. "I'm now a RINO because I can count."
In other words, the Senate isn't supportive of the House's strategy to shut down the government over Obamacare, and even if it was supportive, there aren't the votes there to override a veto by President Barack Obama.
Nunes has been attacked by fellow Republicans in the media, in calls to his office and even on his Facebook page. People are threatening that he will get a political challenger from his own right next year.
Michael Der Manouel Jr., a Fresno businessman and conservative Republican, doesn't question Nunes' conservative credentials, and certainly doesn't consider him a Republican In Name Only.
But, he said, Nunes "needs to choose his words more carefully when he's not happy with whatever (Republican) strategy is going on."
And Der Manouel sounds like some of Nunes' Facebook critics when he says the Tulare Republican should "stop worrying about tactics and start worrying about your country." It is, Der Manouel says, a political face-off against rival Democrats, and so Nunes must stand firm for as long as necessary.
But Nunes is equally adamant that it is a losing strategy for his party, in which shutdown supporters have no end game or alternative solution.
"This is bad for those of us trying to work on reforms," he said.

Orth to test new, faster finance reporting
Fresno County Supervisor Andreas Borgeas' proposal to revamp the political rules for he and his board colleagues landed like a thud. Borgeas couldn't even get his fellow supervisors to discuss the proposal.
Borgeas' high-profile suggestions included three-term limits on supervisors and capping campaign contributions that currently are unlimited. With the proposal's quick death last month, it has zero chance of going anywhere — at least for the foreseeable future.
But Borgeas' proposal had a third component — asking county Clerk Brandi Orth to implement a policy in her office to put all late contribution reports online no later than three days after they are received.
Currently, there is no time requirement to put the documents online, though they eventually are posted by Fresno County officials on a voluntary basis.
But next year, Orth says, her office is going to try posting the reports online within three days.
But, Orth said, it's worth taking on as a pilot project because "I like to provide as much information to the public as I can."
A new law also is kicking in that will change the rules.
As it is now, county candidates who spend or receive $1,000 or more in the final 16 days leading up to an election must make a report to the county within a day of the transactions. The change in state law will push that window from 16 days before an election to three months before.

Transportation board looks to bridge $3 billion funding gap
The Ventura County Transportation Commission on Friday approved a 30-year transportation plan and started exploring options to make up for a $3 billion revenue shortfall to pay for various projects and improvements.
Even with $4.9 billion in projected revenue over the next three decades, the county is missing $2.4 billion for local street maintenance, $400 million for highways, $60 million for freight movement from the Port of Hueneme and $28 million for transportation projects for pedestrians and bicyclists.
"We have substantial needs in this county and unfortunately we have less-than-substantial revenues," Executive Director Darren Kettle said. "We can't just sit here and twiddle our thumbs. There's a lot of work that needs to be done."
Kettle outlined several strategies the commission could pursue to bring more money: a gas tax increase of 10 cents per gallon, creating highway toll lanes, increasing the vehicle registration fee by $10, and a half-cent sales tax increase.
The half-cent sales tax increase could generate $2.1 billion over 30 years but would require a two-thirds approval by county voters.
While there was debate among commissioners whether voters would approve such a tax, it was stressed as the option that would most close the funding gap. Ventura County voters already have twice rejected a transportation sales tax.
Ventura County Supervisor Peter Foy said the tax increase is "just not going to happen," but Supervisor Steve Bennett disagreed.
"We have to convince people that we need this tax," Bennett said. "It is possible. It can be done."
But without relying on passage of a sales tax increase, the commission voted to move forward with exploring the feasibility of adding toll lanes to Highway 101.
A high-occupancy toll lane would be added in each direction on Highway 101 throughout Ventura County. Use of the lane would be free for vehicles with at least two passengers, and single-occupant vehicles would have to pay a fee to use it.
The commission allocated $300,000 for the feasibility study, but Kettle said it could cost less if the hired financial consultant quickly determines the project would not bring in enough revenue compared with the cost to complete the toll lanes.
"The 101 is going to be in gridlock. It already is. And it's going to get worse," Kettle said. "Is this a way to pay to relieve congestion given that other options and alternatives have not been supported?"
The overall transportation plan, which was a first-of-its-kind report for Ventura County, focused on local road maintenance, transportation connections within and outside the county, and highway and road safety for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Kettle said the $3 billion deficit requires re-evaluating some projects, such as focusing highway project spending on adding lanes to Highway 101 and completing Highway 118 between Simi Valley and Moorpark.
Several commissioners agreed that earning public support of possible tax increases could require a rebranding effort because many local residents do not understand the role of the Ventura County Transportation Commission.
"We're at a disadvantage because we don't have a dedicated revenue stream," said commission Chairman Steve Sojka, a Simi Valley councilman. "We need to get out in the county to let people know the work that's being done here."

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Unproven Bomber quarterback takes reins of troubled team tonight
There are two ways of looking at the situation in which Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Joey Elliott will find himself tonight when he leads the Bombers on the field at Canad Inns Stadium against the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
On the one hand, it is difficult to conceive of a more challenging or pressure-packed assignment. With his team 1-5 and the club's season -- and the future employment of its head coach and/or general manager -- potentially hanging in the balance, Elliott is being asked tonight to make his first CFL start in two years with the benefit of nothing more than four days of practise as the starting QB.
And what are your plans for tonight?
But then there's the contrarian point of view, the one that says it is precisely because the odds of the situation are so wildly stacked against him that there is really no pressure at all on Elliott tonight.
"We're 1-5 at this point," Bombers cornerback Jovon Johnson summed up. "What worse could he do?"
It's a sad monument to the sorry state of the Bombers that their woeful record might be their biggest single asset right now, simply because it carries with it basement-level expectations. A jockey couldn't limbo under the low bar the Bombers have set for themselves so far in 2012, meaning it only stands to reason it shouldn't be hard for a team of 42 large men to go over the top of it.
And that provides an opportunity for Elliott tonight, even as he becomes Winnipeg's third starting quarterback in just seven regular-season games this season.
"It's not that hard," Elliott offered Wednesday, when asked to size up tonight's challenge.
"When I came in and played two years ago, we were 4-12. Same situation. Everyone in the locker-room was fighting for a job for the next year. That's how you have to go into every game as a professional."
But while the situation tonight might be similarly dire to his Bombers debut in 2010 (although not nearly as hopeless), Elliott will be looking for a much-improved performance over those efforts. Elliott was a combined 27-of-57 for just 360 yards in his two 2010 starts and the Bombers lost both games to finish that season at 4-14.
Despite the slow start this season, the Winnipeg braintrust still remains hopeful of a much better result than that when the wins and losses are tallied at the end of this season -- and with some justification. With the three teams above the Bombers in the East Division all at 3-3 heading into this week, a win over the Ticats tonight would put the Bombers just two points out of a playoff spot.
What's more, the Bombers were 4-0 against the Ticats last season -- including a 19-3 win in the East Final -- and are 7-3 against Hamilton at Canad Inns Stadium in their last 10.
Where there's life, there's hope, in other words. And his teammates are hoping the addition of Elliott renews both for them tonight.
But first things first.
"He can play, there's no question about that," Bombers tailback Chad Simpson said of Elliott. "But we've got to protect him first."
And the easiest way to do that is to give Simpson the ball more often tonight. Simpson has an impressive 6.4 yards-per-carry average this season -- second only to B.C.'s Andrew Harris among starting tailbacks in the CFL -- but he carried the ball just seven times in the last game and only 36 times through three games this season.
If ever that will change, it should be tonight. For starters, the Ticats have the worst run defence in the league, by far. And with Bombers alumnus Casey Creehan the defensive co-ordinator in Hamilton, you can expect all kinds of pressure to be sent at Winnipeg's new QB tonight, presumably creating even more room for Simpson to work.
Put it altogether and we're back to where we started with Johnson's awkwardly-phrased, but bang-on, encapsulation of his club's prospects under Elliott tonight. What worse could he do?

Think About It: Two German-Israeli co-productions
02/10/2013 23:48
Two German-Israeli co-productions at the Cameri and Habimah theaters
Habimah Theater
Photo: Yoni Cohen
In both productions there is an Israeli actress and a German actress – Sarah von Schwarze (an Israeli actress of German origin) and Cornelia Heyse in the case of the Cameri's
Between Two Worlds
, and Evgenia Dodina and Juliana Köhler in the case of Habimah's
Such co-productions have become quite common in Europe in the last decade, and Israel, which may be considered marginally European, has occasionally been part of this phenomenon, especially in co-productions with German theaters. The Holocaust is always somehow present in the background, even if the plays in themselves have nothing to do with German- Jewish, or German-Israeli relations.
The two recent plays exemplify this.
Between Two Worlds
, written by von Schwarze and partially autobiographical, deals with Israeli, German and Jewish identities. In the play, in which both Hebrew and German are spoken, von Schwarze plays the role of Ruth, who unexpectedly arrives in Munich and breaks into the loft where her estranged father Avraham (played by Eli Gorenstein) lives with his partner Sabine.
Avraham is a German convert to Judaism who came to Israel with his family, and then left them suddenly, returning to Germany, where he lives as a Jew, with a non-Jewish lawyer – Sabine, who previously lived with a woman.
At first one gets the impression that Ruth has come to confront her father, who is celebrating his 70th birthday, with his desertion. However, it soon transpires that her visit was an impulsive decision, resulting from the fact that she believes she accidentally killed an Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, and since she is afraid of the consequences she has come to Munich to seek Sabine's professional services.
IN THE course of a very angry and aggressive confrontation with her father it transpires that the background to his conversion was his own grandfather's suicide during the Nazi era; after discovering that he had a Jewish ancestor, he believed that by killing himself he would save his family.
It is also revealed that Avraham decided to leave Israel because of a traumatic experience in the course of the First Lebanese War, and that Sabine was unaware of the fact that he is a convert – i.e. originally a Christian German, like herself.
What finally emerges is that no Israeli soldier was killed in the West Bank on the relevant date, and consequently Ruth's panic is without foundation.
"What you need is not a lawyer, but a good psychiatrist," Sabine says to her as the play ends.
The plot sounds a little like a Latin American soap opera, and those elements that are not autobiographical are not always credible. However, from a purely theatrical point of view the play isn't bad – texts that confront some very real issues regarding the German past, the Israeli present and the human dilemmas that they create. The acting is also good.
I do not know how the play was received in Munich.
In Israel it received rave reviews, but even though it was performed in the smallest of the Cameri's theater halls, the house was not full, and the audience was a very specific sector of the population (largely elderly Ashkenazim, of German background).
is a different kettle of fish. The play is a German adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1966 film by the same name, which in turn was based on a four-page, one-act play written by Swedish playwright August Strindberg in 1889.
The play has nothing whatsoever to do with Israel, Germany or Jews, but like Between Two Worlds deals with the uncovering of secrets, and tortured souls.
The original play was about two actresses who fortuitously meet in a café on New Year's Eve, but in the original only one of them does all the talking. Bergman used a few motifs from Strindberg's play, but changed the plot. The adaptation to the stage by Amelie Niermeyer is generally based on Bergman's version.
It tells of a nurse (Alma) who is asked to take care of an actress (Elisabet Fogler) who for no apparent reason has stopped speaking. The male figure in the play (played in Israel by Alon Neuman) is the husband/psychiatrist/ stage director, who is trying to get Elisabet to start talking again, and return to her acting career and her role as wife and mother.
Except for a single word at the end, Elisabet remains silent throughout the play, and all her reactions are facial. Most of the talking is done by Alma, who ends up telling secrets from her own past, and is instrumental, through her interaction with the male figure, in revealing details from Elisabet's past.
The text is extremely emotional at times, as for example when Alma discovers that Elisabet has betrayed her confidence. As in the case of Bergman's film she ends up walking away from Elisabet, but whereas in the film Elisabet turns completely catatonic as a result, in the play there is a suggestion that she might have returned to her previous self.
Between Two Worlds
is not bilingual.
In Munich German actor Götz Schulte and Köhler, as Alma, spoke German, and Dodina played the mute Elisabet. In Tel Aviv Alon Neuman and Dodina as Alma spoke Hebrew, and Köhler played the mute Elisabet.
Those who had seen Bergman's film were apparently disappointed with the play, but since I had missed the film I could judge the play on its own merits. Once again, the play was good theater, thanks to clever staging using an almost totally bare stage, and the magnificent Dodina and Köhler.
However, there was really no specific reason for putting it on stage as a German-Israeli co-production, beyond the availability of (German) financing for the project.
Since no German was spoken during the play, the audience was not necessarily made up of persons with a German background, but Habimah's smallest hall wasn't full. This is not because of antagonism toward German-Israeli cooperation, but simply because the audience in Israel for highbrow cultural events such as this is small, and diminishing.
Is there any chance that such cooperation will stop the growing political rift between Germany and Israel, against the background of Israel's policy in the territories, and regarding negotiations with the Palestinians? I am doubtful. Israel's critics in Germany are as unlikely to go to see these co-productions, as are those in Israel who are disgusted by the European position in general and that of Germany in particular.
Nevertheless, such cultural interludes are certainly welcome to those of us who crave for some "time out" from the complex and problematic reality of Israel's daily existence.
Now back to the theater of coalition building.

Posted June 22, 2005
Thomasville- The city of Thomasville is aggressively trying to steal retirees from Florida. It's an effort to get the people with the most disposable income strengthening the Rose City's tax base.
Thomasville, a city of roughly 20,000 people; a city with a lot to offer new residents. "They're very pleased with what they see," says Chamber of Commerce President, Don Sims. He's hoping to expand Thomasville by actively recruiting senior citizens from Florida. "Those people have a dramatic impact with their retirement income," says Sims.
That's a cornerstone in the foundation of Thomasville's economic base Sims is trying to strengthen. His selling point to retirees is the Rose City's convenience. "The cost of living here, the infrastructure that we have, roads, less traffic, less a hassle factor," says Sims.
One hurdle officials at the Chamber of Commerce are facing is a competition with Florida's wide variety of housing, a challenge they're tackling head on. "We're encouraging our builders to build a wide variety of properties, condos, single family apartments," says Sims.
Thomasville also has to compete with Florida's lack of income tax. But it's a competition the Peach State may win in the long run. "By 2008 the first 70,000 dollars of retirement income for couples 62 and over will be Georgia income tax exempt," says Sims.
Another plus for Thomasville is it's biggest employer. "Our largest employment here is in the medical field," says Sims. That's a guarantee for seniors to get fast access to the medical care so many of them need.
Another factor that may help Thomasville's recruitment is the hurricanes that hit Florida. Sims says their widespread destruction reduces housing there, and creates work senior citizens generally dislike.

Before going to Peru this summer, I thought I understood what it meant to lay my whole life down for the Lord. He opened my eyes to the joy that comes from putting my trust and faith in Him.
God not only worked through me to bring people to Him, but He also worked in me, and changed my life completely.
Going on Awe Star trips is something that impacts other people's lives as well as yours. GO!
Going on this trip and surrendering to His call was the best decision of my life. He taught me how to be recklessly abandoned and He showed me the joy and satisfaction that comes from doing His will.
This experience changed my life. It has showed me how to come to the end of myself for His name to be known and praised. My hunger for the things of God and His presence has increased significantly.
A life changing experience that broke and molded my heart to serve and share the Gospel to the dark places of the earth.
It is amazing how God worked in a country where we were not allowed to openly share the gospel. Our mouths may have been shut but God worked through our actions. He provided everything we needed to be able to present the gospel.
God changed my life as much as He did those I spoke to.
Jesus has not called us to sit back and be comfortable, but He commands us to tell the world about Him and get dirty for the sake of Christ!

89-year-old Wellington podiatrist sentenced on 42 counts of indecent assault
News from NZ Police
Name suppression has now expired for Geoffrey (Geoff) Trethewey, 89, a retired podiatrist of Wellington and the Wairarapa.
Trethewey appeared for sentencing on 42 counts of indecent assault and sexual violation against children under twelve years of age. Many of the charges were representative over a period of time and he has been sentenced to 12 months home detention.
Detective Dave Bealing says, "Wellington Police laid charges after receiving a complaint from a female in 2011. An investigation located a further nine women and one man who also made complaints."
"The charges related to ongoing abuse of the victims when they were aged from about seven through to their early teens, during the period from the mid-70s through to the early 90s."
"Trethewey was known in the Newtown and Mt Cook areas over this time."
"I believe there may be other victims and I urge them to get in contact with me," says Detective Bealing.

The UCLA Bruins had a lot of talent and potential in 2011, but continued mental errors and inconsistent play on both sides of the ball would prove too much to overcome. Despite the struggles and frustrations with head coach Rick Neuheisel, there was no doubting that his players had a great respect for him and they battled every time they took the field.

This brings us to the question: despite the 6-7 record in the regular season, should coach Neuheisel be allowed to coach his players in the bowl game? He has done a lot for the program and it's not exactly like the program is headed to a big-time BCS game. Let the man finish what he started; what's it going to hurt if he sticks around for another two weeks or so?

Rick Neuheisel's UCLA Bruins coaching tenure came to an end on Friday night as the Bruins were beaten 49-31 by the Oregon Ducks in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. On one hand, it was impressive that the Bruins scored 31, especially since they were a decided 31-point underdog heading into the contest.
Then again, outside of a few brief moments in the first quarter, the Bruins were never really in the game. But their effort was to be admired as the team continued to play hard. "I'm really, really attached to those kids, and I'm just proud of the way they fought tonight," Neuheisel said after the game in a Fox television interview with Tim Brewster.
"We weren't good enough, but it wasn't because we didn't have a lot of heart and a lot of character. We squandered some chances in the first half with some turnovers, and you can't do that against an explosive team like Oregon," Neuheisel said. "It's been an honor to coach these kids, because they keep fighting and they keep battling. They can take my job, but they can't take those guys away from me."
Neuheisel had a 21-29 record coaching his alma mater, but now he must step aside, as offensive coordinator Mike Johnson will coach the 6-7 Bruins on an interim basis in their pending bowl game.

The Oregon Ducks won the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game on Friday night, beating the UCLA Bruins 49-31 for their third consecutive conference crown and third consecutive BCS bowl game. The Ducks earned a berth in the 2012 Rose Bowl, their sixth-ever trip to Pasadena.
Junior tailback LaMichael James ran for 220 yards on 25 carries, the fourth game this season with 200 or more yards on the ground. James, who also scored three touchdowns, was named the game's MVP. "It means a lot. I love these guys right here," James said while gesturing to his teammates as he accepted the trophy.
Oregon, who lost to the Auburn Tigers in the 2011 BCS Championship Game, has played in five previous Rose Bowls, but hasn't won one since in 94 years:
The Ducks will await the winner of Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game between the Wisconsin Badgers and Michigan State Spartans.
The 2012 Rose Bowl Game will be played on Monday, January 2, 2012 in Pasadena. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. PDT. The game will be televised by ESPN, with Brent Musberger, Kirk Hirbstreit, and Lisa Salters on the call. Stay tuned for more updates as the game approaches.
LaMichael James ran for 220 yards and three touchdowns, leading the No. 8 Oregon Ducks over the UCLA Bruins 49-31 in the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game Friday night at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks earned their sixth-ever trip to the Rose Bowl, to be played on January 2, 2012 in Pasadena. Oregon has gone to three consecutive BCS bowl games.
It was the fourth 200-yard game this season for James and seventh in his illustrious career. He also caught two passes for 24 yards. Oregon on the night racked up 573 yards of offense and 25 first downs.
Kevin Prince left the game briefly with 11 minutes remaining after getting sacked for the third time on the night. Prince fumbled on the play, but the Bruins recovered. After completing his first pass, to Nelson Rosario for 14 yards, backup quarterback Richard Brehaut was intercepted, the Bruins' fourth turnover on the night.
Brehaut had missed the previous six games with a broken leg. Prince came back in the game on the next drive for UCLA. Prince in the game passed for 163 yards and two touchdowns, both to Nelson Rosario. Rosario caught five passes for 91 yards on the night, and has amassed 1,099 receiving yards on the season, just the seventh 1,000-yard season in UCLA history.
Bruins' head coach Rick Neuheisel, who was fired on Monday, ended his tenure at UCLA with a second consecutive blowout loss, as UCLA fell to 6-7 on the season. Neuheisal ended his UCLA coaching career with a 21-29 record.
The Bruins allowed 45 or more points in five different games this year, and on the season gave up a school record 419 points. The previous record was held by the 2005 squad, who allowed 410 points, though in 12 games.
Oregon in the Rose Bowl will play the winner of Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game between the Wisconsin Badgers and Michigan St. Spartans.

The UCLA Bruins have no answer for tailback LaMichael James, who has run for 155 yards and three touchdowns through three quarters Friday night. The Oregon Ducks lead the Bruins 49-24 in the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game, just 15 minutes from a berth in the 2012 Rose Bowl.
The Bruins began their quest to keep announcer Gus Johnson excited with a 20-yard punt return by Taylor Embree after holding Oregon to three-and-out on their opening drive of the second half. Starting on the Oregon 43-yard line, UCLA already had good field position, but it was made even better when Derrick Coleman ran for 36 yards on the very next play, giving the Bruins a first-and-goal at the seven-yard line. Three plays later, Kevin Prince ran it in untouched on the left side as the UCLA pulled to within 11 points.
But just like in the first half, Oregon answered immediately. After a 39-yard kickoff return by Josh Huff into UCLA territory, the Ducks marched 46 yards in just six plays, including 29 yards on the ground by James, including his third rushing touchdown of the night to tie LenDale White for second-most rushing TDs in Pac-12 history, with 52.
Darron Thomas added a 22-yard touchdown pass, his third of the game, to tight end David Paulson with 5:45 remaining in the period. This is the fifth time UCLA has allowed 45 or more points this season.

LaMichael James ran for 115 yards on just 13 carries, including two touchdowns, in the first half, leading the Oregon Ducks to a 35-17 halftime lead over the UCLA Bruins in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
James in the second quarter passed former USC Trojans tailback Marcus Allen for third place on the all-time Pac-12 rushing list. Allen had 4,810 rushing yards with the Trojans, while James is at 4,819 yards at halftime. James also caught a pass for 14 more yards.
On their opening drive of the second quarter, the Bruins used a little trickery to pull closer. They were able to move the ball effectively for the first time on the night, running for 24 yards and getting helped by a pair of five-yard penalties from Oregon to keep the chains moving. Then on 1st-and-10 from the Oregon 37-yard line, UCLA ran a flea flicker to perfection, with Kevin Prince hitting a wide open Nelson Rosario over the middle and Rosario taking it untocuhed to the end zone for the Bruins' first offensive touchdown of the night.
That pulled the Bruins to within 21-14. But the problem has been an inability to stop the explosive Oregon offense. In the first half, the Ducks have had five scoring drives, and all have been lightning fast:
|Oregon Fist Half Scoring Drives
Oregon outgained UCLA in the first half, 318 yards to 151. Ducks' quarterback Darron Thomas was no slouch himself, completing 15 of 28 passes for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and running for another score. UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince completed seven of 13 passes for 95 yards in the first half, and ran for 19 yards on 12 carries.
Oregon will receive the ball to open the third quarter.

In a turnover-prone first quarter in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game, the UCLA Bruins have been outclassed so far by Darron Thomas and the Oregon Ducks, who lead 21-7 after the first quarter. UCLA came into the road contest at Autzen Stadium as 31-point underdogs to Oregon, and looks every bit as much so far.
Oregon has gained 177 yards in the first quarter compared to just 50 for the Bruins. The Ducks ran for 115 yards on just 13 carries in the opening stanza. Each team has committed a pair of turnovers.
Junior linebacker Patrick Larimore played a big role in both turnovers forced by UCLA. He not only recovered a fumble, but also picked up his first career interception and returned it 34 yards for his first career touchdown, giving the Bruins their only points of the period.
After just their second play from scrimmage UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince fumbled the snap, which gave Oregon the ball at the UCLA 39-yard line. Four plays later the leading rusher in FBS, Oregon's LaMichael James run untouched 30 yards up the middle for an easy touchdown and a 7-0 lead. James leads the country with 12 runs of 30 or more yards this season.
The Bruins went three and out on their next possession and it looked like Oregon would score again, nearly as quickly as their first drive. But after quarterback Darron Thomas hit freshman running back D'Anthony Thomas for a 17-yard gain and a first down near midfield, the younger Thomas fumbled to give UCLA their best hope of the night thus far.
The Bruins gained 20 yards on seven plays, but when faced with a 4th-and-1 from the 23-yard line, tailback Derrick Coleman was stopped literally inches short of a first down, turning the ball over on downs. Luckily for UCLA though, they got a fortunate bounce three plays later. Thomas threw over the middle to Kenjon Barner, but the ball ricocheted off Barner into the waiting arms of Latimore, who took it to the house for the tying score.

The 2011 Pac-12 Championship is here. While the UCLA Bruins will be heavy underdogs on Friday evening, the team has nothing to lose and it would quite the story if they sent Rick Neuheisel out on a winning note.
The Oregon Ducks feature a high-flying offense and a packed house is expected at Autzen Stadium. Should UO come away with a victory, a bid to the Rose Bowl is expected. Here is all of the game day coverage:
Start Time: Kickoff is set for 5:20 p.m. PDT from Eugene.
TV Schedule: The game will be televised nationally by FOX with Gus Johnson and Charles Davis in the booth, while Tim Brewster reports from the sideline.
Local Radio: AM 570 (KLAC) and the Bruin IMG Radio Network (Chris Roberts, Matt Stevens and Wayne Cook) will radio broadcast the contest.
National Radio: The game will also be broadcast nationally on ESPN Radio (Dave Fleming, David Norris, Ian Fitzsimmons) and SIRIUS XM (Ch. 91).
Weather Report: It'll be a chilly night for the championship game. While there is no rain or snow in the forecast, temperatures will be in the low-30's at kickoff.

The UCLA Bruins have their work cut out for them Friday night in the very first Pac-12 Football Championship Game. The Bruins are in Eugene to battle the Oregon Ducks, and are heavy underdogs to the No. 8 Ducks, who are at home. A UCLA win would not only get them to the Rose Bowl, but would also stop a recent trend of Oregon success in the series.
UCLA leads the all-time series with Oregon 39-25, but in the last decade or so it has been all Ducks. Oregon has won eight of their last 10 matchups with UCLA, dating back to 2000, including four of the last five in Eugene:
Rick Neuheisel is 4-4 against Oregon, though he has lost all three games against the Ducks while at UCLA. Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is 2-0 against UCLA, winning by a combined score of 84-23.
The inaugural Pac-12 Championship Football Game will be played on Friday, December 2 at 5 p.m. PT on Fox. For more news and information on UCLA football, be sure to read Bruins Nation.
The UCLA Bruins will face the Oregon Ducks in the 2011 Pac-12 Championship game, and no one is giving the Sons of Westwood even a puncher's chance to score an upset. You'd have trouble finding people who'd be willing to think UCLA could keep it within two touchdowns.
If UCLA plans on scoring the upset, it'll have to start on the ground and in the trenches. Oregon's offensive line has struggled all season.
UCLA might be totally underwhelming on the road, but they generally have a decent front seven. If they have their heads in the game, the Bruins could definitely take on the biggest weakness of Oregon's offense, namely their offensive line. If UCLA can get penetration and plug the holes LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner try to attack, then UCLA could force Oregon into long-yardage situations which would be harder to convert.
The big question is whether they can hold down Darron Thomas when he passes the football. The Bruins pass defense remains the weakest part of the defense, and will generally give up a lot fo the plays Oregon is really good at executing.

In preparation for the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night in Eugene, Oregon, the UCLA Bruins held their final practice of the week on Wednesday. Head coach Rick Neuheisel, who was fired on Monday by UCLA but will coach the game on Friday, was carried off the field by his players after his final practice as head coach of the Bruins.
Neuheisel was emotional when meeting with reporters, fighting back tears. "It is meaningful when you work to create relationships, and you want desperately for them to achieve what they are capable of achieving, and despite the fact we didn't win enough games, they are achieving as people," Neuheisel said on Wednesday. "I am extremely proud to be a part of this team and am looking forward to hopefully a grand finish."
The Bruins will need a grand finish in order to beat the Oregon Ducks, who are now a whopping 31.5-point favorite over UCLA, per Odds Shark. A money-line bet on UCLA to win the game straight up would net a 55-to-1 return.

The UCLA Bruins football team was in a strange situation this week. Despite being a 6-6 football team that only went 5-4 in conference play, it was enough to win a pretty bad Pac-12 South Division with the USC Trojans on probation. UCLA will thus be playing in the inaugural 2011 Pac-12 Championship game, and if they beat the Oregon Ducks they go to the Rose Bowl. If they lose, they'd have been at 6-7, and technically would not qualify for a bowl automatically since they have a losing record.
UCLA has appealed to the NCAA though, and it looks like there will be one more game for the Bruins to play win or lose. Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports reports.
Bruce Feldman The NCAA approved the UCLA football team's petition for a bowl waiver should the Bruins not defeat Oregon, per UCLA SID.

If UCLA does fall to 6-7, they could probably be the first 6-8 college football team ever if they lose their bowl game. UCLA is now likely to be selected for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, the next in-line in the Pac-12 bids behind the bowls that should take the remaining teams eligible in the conference.

The UCLA Bruins will be playing their final game with head coach Rick Neuheisel this week; Neuheisel has been let go to make way for a new leader and age to take place in Westwood.
But that doesn't mean they can't win Friday night against the Oregon Ducks.
UCLA doesn't have an untalented team, just a woefully inconsistent one that doesn't seem to have any confidence on the road. Obviously the game will be in the highly hostile Autzen Stadium, but UCLA generally tends to play bad one week and great the next week. Considering UCLA has gotten the bad game out of their system with their utter humiliation against USC, perhaps this is the week they rise up and score the upset of the year and earn a Rose Bowl berth.
It's not very likely. But players rallying around a fallen head coach is one of the well-known phenomena in sport, so don't rule it out.

The UCLA Bruins and embattled head coach Rick Neuheisel will have their hands full Friday night in the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game against the No. 4 Oregon Ducks. The Bruins are coming off a humiliating 50-0 defeat at the hands of the USC Trojans, and are a whopping 30-point underdogs against Oregon.
The Bruins' players were given Sunday off after the night game against USC.
"It's a different kind of situation to be coming off such an emotional low, and yet be pointed in such a great opportunity," Neuheisel said in a press conference on Sunday. "We have to discard the baggage that accompanies emotional lows, and move toward the preparation that is required to play a top notch opponent like Oregon."
Neuheisel, amid reports that his job is in jeopardy, insisted he has to stay positive, because that's the only way he knows how to deal with adversity. "Every time we've taken one on the chin, we've responded, especially as the stakes rise," Neuheisel said.
Indeed the Bruins have suffered five blowout defeats this season, and have won the next game after the first four:
It seems the pattern here for UCLA is that they have been pasted by the good teams on their schedule, and have been able to beat a good portion of the bad teams. Unfortunately for the Bruins, their opponent in the Pac-12 Championship Game is not a bad team, but in fact a top ten team in the country.
Did I mention the game Friday night was in Eugene, Oregon, home of the Ducks? Good luck staying positive, Rick.

The UCLA Bruins have no vested interest in the BCS rankings at this point. They have never been in the top 25 this season and have lost almost every relevant game they've played, usually in embarrassing fashion.
Still, UCLA can play spoiler for the conference when they face the Oregon Ducks. Oregon is ranked ninth in the latest BCS standings, although they care about as much about their position as UCLA. All that matters for both these teams is their game on Friday night, i.e. the 2011 Pac-12 Championship. Win and you're in, into the Rose Bowl.
The Stanford Cardinal don't care much about what happens in the Pac-12 title game. They're currently situated fourth in the standings, and if they stay there, they will go to the BCS in an automatic bid regardless.

Vegas has already made their verdict on who will end up reaching Pasadena next January. The Oregon Ducks and the Wisconsin Badgers are big favorites to win their respective conference title games, which would set up a very compelling matchup in the 2012 Rose Bowl.
Oregon is favored by an incredible 30 points over the bumbling and stumbling UCLA Bruins, most likely because the game is being contested at Autzen Stadium in Eugene rather than at a neutral site; the Ducks are all but expected to cruise onto the Rose Bowl. It's a closer sort of thing between Wisconsin and Michigan State, but the Badgers are still touchdown favorites over the Spartans despite the fact that MSU scored the upset the last time the two teams played.
Can UCLA and Michigan State use this as a rallying cry to score big upsets this weekend?

Darron Thomas threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Oregon Ducks to a 49-21 win over the Oregon St. Beavers in the 115th edition of the Civil War Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The win clinched the Pac-12 North Division for the Ducks, who will host the UCLA Bruins in the the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game next Friday night.
LaMichael James ran for 139 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown, but also left the game in the third quarter with a left elbow injury and did not return. His status for next week is unknown. The Ducks (10-2, 8-1) racked up 667 yards of offense against the Beavers, including 373 yards on the ground, as well as 40 first downs.
Oregon and Pac-12 South Division representative UCLA (6-5, 5-3) didn't play one another this season, but they did battle in the previous five years. Oregon has beaten UCLA in their last three meetings and has won eight of their last 10 matchups dating back to 2000.

The UCLA Bruins have already secured a spot in the inaugural Pac-12 Football Championship Game next Friday night. Now they just need to know which Pac-12 North Division team will host them. After 30 minutes of the 115th Civil War in Eugene, Oregon, the Oregon Ducks have a 21-7 halftime lead over the Oregon St. Beavers, leaving the Ducks 30 minutes from securing a spot in the conference title game.
The Civil War will decide the Pac-12 North Division. If Oregon wins, they win the North; if Oregon State wins, the Stanford Cardinal would be the division winner.
Oregon has really dominated the first half, with 393 total yards and 22 first downs compared to just 129 yards and three first downs for the Beavers. Oregon has been hindered by three different drives ending in failed fourth down conversions inside the Oregon State 40-yard line. The Ducks turned a 7-7 game with less than 12 minutes remaining in the second quarter into a blowout with three lightning-quick touchdown drives.
Darron Thomas has passed for 169 yards and three touchdowns for Oregon, but the Ducks have really excelled on the ground, with 224 rushing yards in the first half. LaMichael James has 106 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown, while De'Anthony Thomas ran for 82 yards on just five carries, including a 35-yard scamper down the sideline.

In the first year of the Pac-12 Conference, it looked like the UCLA Bruins caught a break by not having the Oregon Ducks on their schedule. That might no longer be the case, however. The Bruins have clinched a berth in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game, and The Civil War will determine the Bruins' opponent.
Oregon will host the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday afternoon in Eugene, and the stakes are simple. If the Ducks (9-2, 7-1) win, they are the Pac-12 North Division champions and will host UCLA on Friday, December 2. However, if the Ducks lose to the Beavers, the Stanford Cardinal (10-1, 8-1) would win the North and they would host the Bruins next week.
UCLA lost to Stanford 45-19 at Palo Alto on October 1.
For the Bruins, they are in a tough position in that their reward for representing the South Division (remember, the USC Trojans are ineligible for postseason play this season; otherwise the Trojans would be in the title game with a win) is an extra game and the possibility of finishing 6-7 and jeopardizing their bowl eligibility. UCLA is a two-touchdown underdog to the Trojans, and will likely be heavier underdogs next Friday whether they are in Eugene or Palo Alto.
The Bruins could conceivably petition the NCAA for bowl eligibility if such a situation arises, but we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit. There are still two games to played by the Bruins. Counting UCLA out so far this season has proved an unwise decision. Just ask the Pac-12 South Division.

The UCLA Bruins will represent the Pac-12 South Division in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Football Game. The Bruins clinched their spot in next Friday's championship game with the Colorado Buffaloes' 17-14 win over the Utah Utes on Friday afternoon in Salt Lake City.
Utah placekicker Coleman Petersen won the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors last week by converting three field goals against the Washington St. Cougars. But on Friday, he missed all three attempts against Colorado, including a 26-yarder with 14:15 remaining in the game and a 48-yarder with 29 seconds left. Both field goals would have tied the game.
The win for Colorado snapped a 23-game road losing streak, and left the Utes with a 4-5 conference record.
The worst case scenario now for the Bruins is to finish at 5-4 in the conference, tied with the Arizona St. Sun Devils (assuming both a UCLA loss to the USC Trojans on Saturday, and an ASU win over the California Golden Bears on Friday night). UCLA owns the tiebreaker with ASU thanks to a 29-28 victory over the Sun Devils on November 5.

UCLA Bruins wide receiver Taylor Embree might have to send a thank you note to his father, Colorado Buffaloes head coach Jon Embree. The Buffaloes are leading the Utah Utes 10-0 in Salt Lake City at halftime on Friday. A Colorado victory would clinch a spot for the Bruins in the Pac-12 Championship Game, regardless of what happens Saturday night against the USC Trojans.
Colorado has lost 23 consecutive road games, dating back to 2007, but it was hard to tell in the first half at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Buffaloes have 254 yards compared to just 39 for Utah, and a 14-1 advantage in first downs, and have really dominated the game so far.
The lead could have been even larger for Colorado if not for an unfortunate bounce in the first quarter. With 5:27 remaining in the opening quarter, Tyler Hansen completed a pass down the sideline to Toney Clemons on fourth-and-six from the 33-yard line. Clemons gained the first down and more, nearly scoring a touchdown, but he fumbled inside the five-yard line, and the ball rolled into the end zone before going out of bounds, giving Utah the ball.
Had the ball gone out of bounds before the end zone Colorado would have retained possession in position to score a touchdown.
Utah will receive the ball to open the third quarter.

With one week to go before the first-ever Pac-12 Championship Football Game, there are still three teams alive in the Pac-12 South Division. The UCLA Bruins lead the division, with both the Utah Utes and Arizona State Sun Devils one game behind. Both Utah and ASU play games on Friday, needing wins plus help for a berth in the Pac-12 title tilt.
ASU needs to win at home against the Cal Bears on Friday night, have Utah beat Colorado, then have UCLA lose to the USC Trojans on Saturday night. The Sun Devils would prevail in a three-team tiebreaker. A Utah loss Friday afternoon would eliminate both Utah and ASU from the Pac-12 South race. Should Utah win, an ASU win on Friday night would then eliminate Utah.
The Sun Devils look to snap a three-game losing streak on Friday night against Cal. Here are the details of that contest:

Some lucky Bengals fans got a wake-up call on Thursday.
Three Cincinnati Bengals players spent time at the ticket office calling some of the 2013 season ticket holders.
Andrew Whitworth, Domata Peko and Dre Kirkpatrick each had a short list of fans to call, who have renewed their tickets for the 2013 season.
Organizers say the goal was simply to show the Bengals' appreciation for their most dedicated fans.

Surprise: It's getting ugly in a local Congressional race.
In the political ad above, Weston businessman Ozzie deFaria photoshopped a dog collar on Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. No surprise: He's not apologizing for it.
"We need to send her back to the pound," he said in a recent speech.
Never heard of deFaria? Well, he's got next to no chance against Wasserman-Schultz, who has often been the target of ugly ads and stunts (remember the "DWS" target at the shooting range?). What he's doing here is playing up to the rabid Tea Party base. And the really sad thing is it just might work.

8mm Picasso Baroque Faceted Beads [25]
Important: The purple beads are now available under the number F612, and the pink/topaz beads are available under the number F613. The orange/yellow beads are no longer available, and the mixed beads are also gone.
Style: F525
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 18 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 8mm beads with a molded swirl pattern around the holes, and facets around the middle of each bead.
Colors/description: A mixture of opaque colors, most swirled with white glass, and all with picasso coatings on the unfaceted portions around the holes: green, blue, aqua, purple/lavender, coral pink, red, red/orange, and possibly other colors.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: I haven't noticed any significant defects. However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: These beads are from one of my most expensive suppliers, and even at a sale price they were very expensive. Thus, my high price. I am calling them "baroque" for lack of a better word. The supplier calls them "thru-cut baroque", but I don't know what that means. Basically, a baroque bead is any bead with an uneven shape that doesn't look like a nugget. Baroque beads, in my opinion, are a little fancier than nuggets, although I have seen the word applied to nuggets.

Alberta Legislation, Regulation and Policy Development
Alberta's Climate Change Strategy
Alberta is the first jurisdiction in North America to impose comprehensive regulations requiring large facilities in various sectors to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The development of a carbon compliance system, allowing emission offsets as a compliance option, is one of several actions outlined by the Alberta Government in Albertans and Climate Change: Taking Action (October 2002) and in the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act (2007).
The Alberta Government held several consultations throughout Alberta to help develop the province's 2008 Climate Change Strategy. The message was clear among Albertans; action is needed to address climate change and the province must take the initiative to do its part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions entering our atmosphere.
The 2008 Climate Change Strategy is a practical and comprehensive approach that addresses not only how much energy we use, but also how we can combine technology and expertise to capture emissions and produce cleaner energy for Alberta and the rest of the world.

The worst thing to happen during a thunderstorm is that you or someone in your party is struck by lightning.
Follow these first aid steps immediately:
Go or call for medical help immediately.
Call 911 immediately. This can be difficult if you are in the backcountry and don't have cell phone service and are a long way from a trailhead or cell service. Tell where you are, provide directions to your location, and tell about the number of strike victims and their condition.
Assess the situation
Check out the situation. Was only one person struck or are there multiple victims? Is the storm still raging? Are you safe when you administer first aid? It's important not to create more casualties. Be aware of continuing lightning danger to victims and rescuers. Don't expose yourself, the victims, or rescuers to additional lightning risk. If necessary, move the victim to a safer location before providing first aid. Also consider if the victim was directly struck by lightning or struck by ground currents. Direct strikes are, of course, much more serious.
Check for breathing and heartbeat
Next step is check if the victim is breathing and has a heartbeat. The best places to check for a pulse are at the carotid artery in the neck and the femoral artery behind the knee. Lightning often causes cardiac arrest.
Administer CPR
If he is not breathing and does not have a heartbeat, immediately begin providing CPR, following the current Red Cross specs—2 rescue breaths followed by 30 fast chest compressions in 30 seconds. Continue CPR until rescue arrives, although if there is no response after 30 minutes then the chances of survival are slim. It's a great idea for every climber to take a basic Red Cross first aid course and get CPR certified so that you can do the right thing in emergency situations.
Other Lightning Injuries
Besides cardiac and respiratory arrest, other lightning-caused injuries are burns, shock, brain injury, muscular and skeletal damage, and sometimes blunt trauma including broken bones and ruptured organs. Some victims also experience nervous system disruption with loss of consciousness and amnesia. Treat all these injuries with basic first aid until help arrives. Death by lightning usually results from cardiac arrest.

And on his bad days, like MNF v Dallas, he's outright bad.
He's just too slow and immobile to keep up with athletic pass rushers (ie all of them). Not only could he not block Demarcus Ware, he couldn't even get a hand of him sometimes.
As of today the offensive line has one highly rated prospect, and 4 mediocre/average players.
Licht and Will Montgomery should continue to develop, but whether they and Chris Chester (or someone else) can form a strong interior remains highly questionable.
And like I said, Jammal Brown needs to be replaced at the earliest possible convience. Given how little draft value (first three rounds) we've invested in our line over the last 12 years, seems obvious to me we need to draft a RT (or a LT and move Trent to right - but I think Trent will be fine at LT in the long run).
If magically some young great RT hits the FA market next year, great. But that almost never happens.
For most of a decade this franchise has almost completely ignored the offensive line in the early part of the draft.
It has to stop. Perennially good teams don't have mediocre offensive lines unless your QB is Peyton.
It's that simple.
So yeah, Jammal Brown: not good enough.

C'est Magnifique!
The Peabody's Chez Philippe rediscovers classical French cuisine
By Pamela Denney
(page 2 of 2)
Pam's Pics
Top Three to Try
Seared Ahi & French Couscous
Crusted with pumpkin seeds and seared only on the edges, the Ahi tuna updates humble couscous with pistachios, dried currants, and an adorable (and edible) spoon filled with Lingonberry vinaigrette.
Chocolat a'la Bavaroise
Who knew a Lego brick could inspire such artistry? So goes the story behind this lacquered stack of Bavarian cream plated with gold leaf, painted petals, and an eight-prong fork of molded white chocolate.
French Onion Soup
Don't be confused by the Camembert pillow served alongside the French onion soup. Just plop it on top and voila: a luscious marriage of sweet onions and melted cheese with a perfect puff pastry.

We've learned two things about Elijah Dukes this year:
1) You don't run on Dukes.
2) Elijah Dukes will run through walls.
If David Wright didn't know that second one already he found out as he came around first and watched Elijah Dukes run full speed into the out-of-town scoreboard in right to rob Wright of a potentially game-tying extra base hit with two out in the top of the ninth tonight in DC's 4-3 win over New York. Dukes' catch gave Mike MacDougal his 18th save in 19 opportunities a half-inning after Washington took the lead with the help of two errors from NY's middle infielders. The Nationals take their second straight over the Mets and set themselves up for the sweep in the last home game of 2009 tomorrow afternoon. (ed. note - "And I'm telling you right now...Teddy Roosevelt will win tomorrow, buy your tickets so you can say you were there...") (ed. note - "The previous opinion is in no way based on facts, just gut feelings, like Riggleman!!")

• For The Completists, Full Game Report After The JUMP...
Nationals now 54-103. (Countdown To 100 Losses, Over For Days Now).
• Martin v Pelfrey. J.D. Martin gets himself in trouble early, giving up a leadoff double to Angel Pagan and letting Luis Castillo reach base on a sac bunt attempt. David Wright walks to loaded the bases and Carlos Beltran walks too to force in the first run. 1-0 NY. Martin gets a line drive to short, a fly ball to short center and an out at second to escape further damage, but he gets right back in trouble in the second. Wilson Valdez doubles to start the frame, moves to second on a sac bunt by the Mets' starter and scores on an Angel Pagan single for a 2-0 lead. David Wright doubles Pagan in, 3-0 Mets.
• Mike Pelfrey retires the first eight batters he faces before allowing a bloop single to the opposing pitcher in the bottom of the third. The Mets' right-hander throws four scoreless for NY, holding DC to just a walk and a single, but the fifth starts with "Pinch Hittin'" Pete Orr singling on an 0-2 fastball up and out over the plate. Ian Desmond's up next and the Nationals' rookie shortstop gets a 1-2 fastball from Pelfrey that doesn't quite make it inside, Desmond explodes on it, launches it to left and GONE!! Two-run HR, 3-2 NY. Two outs later, still in the fifth, Willie Harris and Elijah Dukes hit back-to-back singles and Mr. Gold Glove Himself, the one and only Ryan Zimmerman gets two straight and I mean "straight" fastballs inside, the second of which is lined to left for Zim's 103rd RBI and the 3-3 tie.
• J.D. Martin ends up throwing four scoreless after the rough start, and leaves after 6.0 IP, having given up 7 hits, 3 ER and 2 walks, but the win ends up going to DC reliever Tyler Clippard who throws 2.0 scoreless, the second of which I still can't believe he escaped. Clippard gave up back to back singles to Carlos Beltran and Daniel Murphy, then walked Jeff Francoeur to load the bases with no outs and the score tied at 3-3 tie in the eighth. Former Nationals' catcher Brian Schneider (Call us, Brian?) does Washington a solid by popping out unproductively and pinch hitter Jeremy Reed lines to second, Alberto Gonzalez catches it, throws to first, Francoeur's out, (where was he going?) DOUBLE PLAY!! Clippard's one lucky reliever...
• Mike "Danger" Morse walks with one down in the Nationals' eighth, Justin Maxwell takes over on the basepaths, and pinch hitter Cristian Guzman follows with what should be a double play, but Anderson Hernandez fields at short and tosses one low to Luis Castillo, and right by second, both runners safe. Ian Desmond follows with another DP grounder, Anderson Hernandez gets to it behind second, tosses to Castillo, Castillo fires wide of first and out of Daniel Murphy's reach, Desmond's safe. Maxwell scores from second, 4-3 DC!!
• Top Of Ninth...Mike MacDougal comes on to close it. Cory Sullivan K's swinging. Angel Pagan...singles, (3 for 5), but MacDougal paints the outside corner to get Luis Castillo looking with Pagan still at first. David Wright, works the count full and destroys a 96 mph MacDougal heater. Wright drives it to right, Elijah Dukes sprints toward the wall, and runs into the out-of-town scoreboard as he makes the grab, Dukes bounces of the wall, falls back and rolls to his feet, then jumps up pounding his chest!!! SSSSSUPER DUKESSSS Runs through walls! Nationals win, 4-3 final.
• Adam Dunn Gets The Beyond The Box Score Treatment.
Walter Fulbright has an article up at Beyond The Boxscore, the SB Nation's "Saber-Slanted" blog, entitled, "The Two Sides Of Adam Dunn: Graph Of The Day", in which Mr. Fullbright determines that Adam Dunn is, "...still a superstar, just playing out of position because he no longer has one," and recommends that fans, "...start a letter writing campaign to see if we can find the Nationals an American League trading partner." Dunn ranks dead last on Mr. Fulbright's league-wide UZR chart and the BtB writer's description of the nation's capital's favorite first baseman is at odds with most of what I've heard from the DC Faithful:
"Adam Dunn can't hide his failings at the cold corner. Whatever advantage he has for reaching to balls above his head (a pretty low percentage play anyway) are absolutely obliterated by his inability to scoop balls in the dirt, either from throws or from ground balls. He's so completely top heavy that he has an inherent disadvantage to those born with the virtue of just being closer to the ground. This is a pretty definite trend, he has roughly the same power off the bat as when he was 23, only with 60-70 more pounds packed on, his defense has gone from pretty bad to awful to absolutely unacceptable."
Check out Mr. Fulbright's article HERE or in the title link above to see how he reached his conclusions. Let him know what you've seen from Dunn...
New York Mets At Washington Nationals. Game 157 Of 162.
DC right-hander J.D. Martin takes a deep breath, stretching his jaw as he does, then he exhales and fires the first pitch home to Angel Pagan. Pagan ends up doubling to right off the out-of-town scoreboard to start the game with a runner on second. Luis Castillo bunts to third and J.D. Martin cuts Ryan Zimmerman off to field and not throw to first. First and third for David Wright. J.D. Martin walks the bases loaded and goes 3-0 to Carlos Beltran, hitting the outside corner for 3-1 and getting a foul for another full count. Then Martin walks Beltran and walks in a run, 1-0 New York. Daniel Murphy lines toward short, Ian Desmond catches and holds it. Jeff Francoeur flies out to short center, and Willie Harris catches it coming in to hold Castillo at third. Brian Schneider lines to Pete Orr to end the threat with just the walked in run scoring...Willie Harris pops out to left to start the bottom of the first. Mets' righty Mike Pelfrey gets a weak grounder to third from Elijah Dukes. Ryan Zimmerman grounds out to short.
Wilson Valdez doubles over short to start the second. Mike Pelfrey bunts to Adam Dunn, who can only throw to first. Angel Pagan singles to score Valdez and it's 2-0 New York with one out in the second. Luis Castillo pops out to left.

Willie Harris takes two steps back and catches a line drive off Luis Castillo's bat. David Wright pulls a bender over third and into left for a one-out double.

Ian Desmond goes deeeep to left on a high inside fastball and it's GONE!!! Two-run HR, 3-2 NY. Wil Nieves grounds out to WIlson Valdez at short. J.D. Martin K's swinging over a two-strike sinker. Willie Harris sneaks a grounder under a diving Luis Castillo at second. Elijah Dukes singles to center, but Willie Harris holds up at second.

I have been pondering as to our success this year, and how we've managed to improve on last year. Here are a few things I noted, feel free to discuss/disagree/commend me on any of them.
#1. Mike Tomlin. I think MT has improved fast and this year he seems to have a better grasp on this team. Very impressed with him so far. Another thing I think helps is he has stopped smoking weed before each game, and he seems more "into" the game.
I noticed a lot last year he had red eyes like you wouldnt believe, and he just seemed mellow. Not really emotional or energetic. Kinda spaced out sometimes. This year though, totally opposite. Clear eyes like a bottle of Visine went down em, and fire and energy and commitment. Good stuff.
#2. Playing well against loser teams. Last year we slept on a few teams. Its not a lie, we did. We lost games we had no business losing. This year not so much. We've pummeled the lowly teams and put them away. Very good focus, and again this comes back to MT and how he gets people geared up.
#3. DEPTH. We are deeper than the hole Osama Bin Laden is hiding in. We've managed to perform despite losses at pretty much EVERY position. This shows good coaching, and good FO decisions. Very helpful. Whereas last year we got killed when a few people went down.
Those are just a few things that go beyond stats. Obviously we know we have more sacks and such but I like to look behind the scenes
