Game 101: Nats at Brewers
Jul 29, 2012, 3:42 PM EDT
US Presswire file photo
The Nationals look for a series victory this afternoon at Miller Park.
Bryce Harper has been battling a stomach virus for several days now, and it was bad enough to keep the rookie out of last night's game. He'll attempt to return to the Nationals' lineup for today's series finale at Miller Park, batting second behind Steve Lombardozzi and ahead of Ryan Zimmerman.
Gio Gonzalez gets the start for the Nats, seeking to become the first NL pitcher to reach 14 wins (only Tampa Bay's David Price has done it so far). The left-hander is coming off perhaps his best start of the season: zero earned runs, two hits in seven innings against the Mets.
A win today would catapult the Nationals to 21 games over .500 for the first time and secure a superb 5-1 road trip in advance of this week's homestand against the Phillies and Marlins.
I'm off again today, but I'll be back at the park Tuesday for the opener against Philadelphia and the trade deadline. In the meantime, enjoy today's game and discussion…

James McDonald of the Pirates has gone from lights out to lights on as he lost to the Astros giving up 7 walks in 5 innings with 5 runs. Could have been worse.

Swift Eagle, we're sitting in the catbird seat.

Haha, yes we are Natsfan1a! What seemed like just another 7-3 loss on a lazy Sunday turns into an instant classic…And how many runs have the Nats scored on late inning wild pitch/fast balls? That's become their move…
- Swift Eagle - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:49 PM
er..wild pitch/passed balls..

NatsFanChris said… I think they let ALR go next year, move Morse to 1st (where he looked great last year) and have either Brown starting in Center or Moore starting in Left. Hard to say which would be preferable. Brown has the edge on D, but Moore seems to have the bigger bat (as of today) July 29, 2012 7:42 PM ________________________________Still plenty of time to decide on LaRoche. Maybe you keep him and make a trade since you have team control. Maybe you do let him walk. Also keep in mind that Morse is a Free Agent after next year.I just think discussing LaRoche's fate is way too premature on July 29.
- natsfan1a - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:51 PM
Yes, it's one of their go-to moves.
- Swift Eagle - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:51 PM

- Swift Eagle - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:55 PM
You know, I feel sorry for the fans who want to talk only about stats, prospects, future signings, etc, etc. They're missing the best part: The way the Current Players, selected by the GM, with this manager, play the game, on the field, every day…Some of you are missing the big picture..
- natsfan1a - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:55 PM
Also seen on the Tweeter (Kilgore):The Nationals this morning unconditionally released OF/1B Xavier Nady.
- Joe Seamhead - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:56 PM
Incidentally, I fully expect Matheus to be the one optioned between now and Tuesday when Tracy is activated. I've thought that for a while now because of the option factor.
- Section 222 - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:56 PM
JoeS, good point about ALR and how that prompted alot of the switching. That's a curveball that the game threw Davey, and he handled it well, as usual. And I certainly realize that Davey plays his gut and the %s, and he's right alot. In fact, most of the time it's downright scary how he's able to think several innings ahead and make exactly the right move.Sometimes he's wrong though, and today was one of those times. Mattheus' performance in the 7th didn't warrant the confidence Davey showed in him and there were definitely other options available. But I'm certainly not saying I could manage the team better. That's why being a fan is so fun. My eyesight is nowhere near 20/20, but my hindsight definitely is.As for Lannan, he undoubtedly earned a return doubleheader engagement with his clutch performance last weekend. There's absolutely no way they take a flyer with Perry or CMWang, no matter how badly or why Lannan got beat up today. He's lined up to start that game, and I definitely wish him well. I wonder if JZnn will decide to pitch the first game as E-Jax did last time. (Because of the off day tomorrow, I assume everyone's getting an extra day's rest this week.)
- natsfan1a - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:57 PM
Agreed, Swift Eagle. As one might have said of today's home plate ump, they're missing one heck of a ballgame.
- Gonat - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:57 PM
NatsFanChris said… Corey Brown sure does look good. With Brown, Moore and Werth soon to return it seems like we have more OFs than we know what to do with.July 29, 2012 7:42 PM _______________________________Also bringing back Chad Tracy. Really like that Corey Brown will make sending him down a tough call. Whoever gets sent down, they will be back on Sept 1st.The team is holding up well without Ian Desmond, Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos.
- natsfan1a - Jul 29, 2012 at 11:58 PM
sec 222, on the plus side, Mattheus did have an awesome postgame quote, per Kilgore's Tweeter:Adam Kilgore @AdamKilgoreWPFrom Ryan Mattheus, a lament heard only at Miller Park: "That guy shouldn't have went down that slide as many times as he did."
- Gonat - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Joe Seamhead said… Incidentally, I fully expect Matheus to be the one optioned between now and Tuesday when Tracy is activated. I've thought that for a while now because of the option factor.___________________________________I fully expect a Henry should soreness injury to the DL and back on Sept 1st.
- NatsLady - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:04 AM
Ghost, that would be the only "experiment" that Davey tried in this game, namely, can Mattheus go two innings? After the first HR, he had set down three in a row, and Davey himself said he didn't conceive Aoki would hit one out, and how much the ball flies when the roof is open. So–the only effective relievers for the Brewers, Livo and some guy they brought up from the minors.
- Swift Eagle - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:06 AM
NatsLady, don't we all remember when our bullpen was like that?? Ouch! We fans deserve this!
- baseballswami - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:10 AM
So apparently Rizzo told Peter Gammons that John Lannan is better than anyone he could trade for at this point. Nice vote of confidence. I do think that Lannan has to work on pitches and stay healthy at this point. I also think that , with his ground ball style, his outcomes are much, much, better with major league defenders. Not talking errors- talking balls that are gotten to and plays that are made that might not be in the minors. Just a couple of those per game can make a huge difference. If you watched the game last Saturday you saw a nice rhythm develop between him with that contact style and those premiere defenders. It was quite magical at times. He is not going to get that in Syracuse. Pitching to contact just requires a very good defense.
- Swift Eagle - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:14 AM
I'm sure Lannan is just not able to bring the same focus to a minor league game..it's like a veteran police officer on traffic duty, just hard to believe he's going to be totally into it…
- Section 222 - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:15 AM
1a, thank goodness they didn't show that guy on the slide on the TBS broadcast. I hate that guy, particularly because they always show him sliding, but never landing in the water!!
- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:24 AM
Re: use of Mattheus, start w/ something Carp said, Storen "was unavailable." (Henry, of course, was "deeply unavailable." Johnson saw the game going into extra innings. Because they were on the road, he was going to need (almost certainly) a save from Clippard. Thus, he couldn't use Clippard until he had the lead. The plan, then was to get Mattheus through the eighth, then Burnett through the ninth (if still tied), then Clippard in hopefully, not later than the tenth. Except Mattheus couldn't make it through the eighth — Stammen had to be called in, and he pitched the 9th because the Brewers had three RH hitters, and the 10th because, after the LH, Aoki, the Brewers were all right-handed down to Izturis and it was not an ideal situation for the LH Burnett (who also pitched yesterday). Except for Mattheus trying to throw raw meat past a lion a couple of times (Ray Knight's analysis), things would have been fine. Johnson's planned use of his bullpen was fine.
- NatsLady - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:25 AM
Plus, we don't know… Burnett has had back problems and elbow problems. If he was "not available," Davey would never say so–why tell the opposition anything?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:31 AM
Theo, I could be wrong, but I think Henry was up in the 8th and 9th.
- baseballswami - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:33 AM
Re: Mattheus – Davey said the match ups looked good for him – no way of knowing he would melt down. Or continue to disintegrate. He also said that Mattheus gets amped up and tries to over throw the ball. Ray Knight said the same thing. He has a great sinker but doesn't trust it. Don't know about the leaving him in just a tad too long, though. Other than that- young pitcher's mental issues. We've got those in spades these days.
- Section 222 - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:42 AM
We get it NL. Davey never makes a mistake in your view. You're entitled to your opinion. But surely you recognize that Stammen was available. In fact, he pitched 2 1/3 innings once Mattheus threw his third gopher ball. Are you saying that was the absolute max he could have gone? Don't think so since he's gone 3 innings several times this season, and probably would have come out for the 11th if the Nats hadn't scored. Theo, I'm not saying that Mattheus shouldn't have been used in the 7th. I'm saying he shouldn't have pitched in the 8th, or should have been removed after the first HR in the 8th. Davey needed a quicker hook, whether it was for Stammen, Gonzales, Burnett, or Gorzo. (I agree this was not the situation for H-Rod.) And his plan was to use Stammen in the 9th for as long as it took to get to Clipp for the save. But he had to bring him in early, he just didn't do it early enough.
- Swift Eagle - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:50 AM
Of course Davey makes mistakes, just like every other manager in baseball history…He doesn't need to be perfect, he just needs to be better than the opponentsLast time I checked, you can't do any better than 1st place…Enjoy the ride, especially after a win like today
- baseballswami - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:50 AM
Looks like Werth and Tracy both had a good day in AAA today, which is bringing the inevitable much closer. Someone who contributed big time to today's win is going down. That is just painful with the chemistry that they have going on. An embarrassment of riches. Since I am still giddy after that win ( after eating pounds of crow because I kind of, sort of, considered the game lost – guilty), I must give one more shout out to our amazing crop of rookies! Did someone offer the opinion that Lombo could never be an everyday player? Surely not! By the way, Bernadina, the perpetual scapegoat with the clutch homer today. What a week it's been for the nats!
- natsfan1a - Jul 30, 2012 at 12:53 AM
sec 222, yeah, Bernie the Brewer is very annoying.Swift Eagle, definitely do remember those days with the 'pen. In fact, was flashing back to them a bit earlier.Ghost, I thought I saw Henry up in the 'pen as well. Don't recall which inning it was.btw, there is a new post up, with video. We'll have our work cut out for us to get it over 400 comments.
- peric - Jul 30, 2012 at 1:01 AM
But surely you recognize that Stammen was available. In fact, he pitched 2 1/3 innings once Mattheus threw his third gopher ball. Are you saying that was the absolute max he could have gone?Hey 222,Davey now has eight guys in the bullpen. He has to find ways to get all of them work because he feels he is going to need them. With Storen back Mattheus has not been getting as much work … nor has Gorzelanny … with Storen and H-Rod "rehabbing" in the majors. Give the guy a chance to work out a system to get everybody reps out of the bullpen. You try to win but its a marathon fool. He still has 61 games left in the season plus playoffs. And the games get tougher as more is at stake. And as we've seen injuries do happen. Give the guy a chance to work people in so they don't get rusty will ya dude?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 30, 2012 at 1:03 AM
NatsFan1a, thanks for your recollection.baseballswami @8:50, good points. 24 very good players plus Henry and 3 on the DL (Werth, Tracy, Desi).3 moves to be made.
- peric - Jul 30, 2012 at 1:15 AM
Looks like Werth and Tracy both had a good day in AAA today, which is bringing the inevitable much closer. Someone who contributed big time to today's win is going down.It'll happen when it happens. Davey isn't rushing to get them back the way he did with DeRosa. Or even Storen. More like CM Wang or Nady. Guess we'll just have to see what happens.Besides their contributions were have been overshadowed by Carlos Rivero who is making himself into a solid top prospect at age 23. Advanced stats followed by the Phuture Phillies showed how he project as a potential sleeper with a break out year in the offing. Another right prediction for advanced stats. Kudos to Rizzo and his scouts for getting this one right!Carlos Rivero: a study in signing International Talent.And then there's Jeff Mandel last night … throwing a 1 hitter for six with a close to 2 ERA. At age 27 a late bloomer but one that is looking pretty impressive … far more than NatsJack's guy Garcia. They are so impressed with Christian Garcian they went out and again signed 35 year old Mike MacDougal. Mike, the reliever with 31 walks and 31 strikeouts. Just as likely to issue a walk as a strike out. But throws mid to upper nineties.
- Joe Seamhead - Jul 30, 2012 at 1:47 AM
Folks, speaking of moves, we can only imagine what/who the Phillies will be putting on the field on Tuesday,as many think that Victorina, Blanton, and Pierre have probably played their last game for them. Who else? Many of them have too heavy contracts to be worth much to any other team.
- waddu eye no - Jul 30, 2012 at 2:30 AM
ok you stat-heads. what's the record for most posts per game? 437 and counting for today…
- JaneB - Jul 30, 2012 at 3:21 AM
I don't think I've ever seen this many comments! I came on to just say how nice it was that they battled back to win, my husband did not believe the way my daughter and I did. He promises to do better. So so glad to hear Rizzo say he couldn't trade for anyone as good as Lannan is. That's good news. I'm curious about the MacDougall move; what that could be about. And a day with now baseball tomorrow. It sure is fun, this period, isn't it?

What is Cloud Infastructure?
Cloud Infrastructure is an Infrastructure-as-a-Serivce offering, providing scalable VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and a virtual data center. From the browser, you can create a virtual server, scale resources, load-balance additional servers, and more. You and your developers have full control over the server environment, allowing you to build and deploy applications precisely as your business requires.
For Cloud Server, we took our Cloud Infrastructure service and added a user-friendly control panel and LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) software stack. Our Parallels Plesk control panel includes an easy-to-use web interface allowing you to manage your Cloud server, quickly install common web hosting (WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal), create databases, manage your domains, and more.
How do I know if I need Cloud services?
Cloud services mitigate the downsides of shared hosting and colocation while continuing to provide the benefits.
Shared hosting requires you to share resources with other clients on a hosting server and may not be configured optimally to your unique business needs. However, with Cloud services, you receive dedicated resources. As your business needs evolve, you can fully configure these resources to match your requirements.
Colocation has a significant investment cost for hardware, as well as ongoing hardware maintenance and monitoring costs. In contrast, Cloud services allow you to have a virtual data center where you can start, stop, and optimize the servers that you need, without the maintenance and capital costs of buying hardware.
Is Cloud hosting more affordable than colocation?
By choosing Cloud services, you'll save right away on hardware, software, and ongoing server administration. XMission charges ongoing monthly subscription rates based on the resources you consume.
Are you reliant on Amazon AWS?
No. XMission Cloud Infrastructure is built on robust hardware utilizing the latest Parallels' virtualization technology. We maintain and manage our entire hosting infrastructure using industry best practices.
Where is your data center located?
XMission's data center is located on-site at our headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.
What is your security like?
XMission technicians constantly watch all data center conditions, doors, and cameras. We control access via a two factor biometrics system, and record and archive facility access with security cameras.
What is your backup strategy?
We give the customer full control over backups. From the control panel, you can specify daily or weekly backups.
To what size can I scale my server?
By default, Cloud Infrastructure servers can utilize up to 100GBs of disk, 16GBs of RAM, and 16 CPU Cores; however, our infrastructure is extremely flexible so if you have special requirements, please contact our sales department with your needs.
For horizontal scaling, you can utilize XMission Cloud Infrastructure's server imaging technology to copy and paste identically configured servers in a matter of minutes.

Discover two vibrant Mediterranean countries on one exciting vacation. Begin in Rome with two overnights and guided sightseeing that visits the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Next, follow the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea to marvel at Pisa's Leaning Tower. Then, spend two nights in Tuscany with Florence, "Cradle of the Renaissance," and join the included walking tour of the historical center. In Verona, see Juliet's famous balcony; in Venice, enjoy a canal boat ride to St. Mark's Square and marvel at the elaborate architecture; in Ancona, board an overnight ferry to Greece. Visit Olympia and the impressive Mycenae archaeological site, and see the Corinth Canal. Conclude your journey with a stay in Athens, where the Acropolis is a highlight of the included sightseeing tour.
Headsets throughout the tourSightseeing: Visits to Pisa, Verona, Venice, Ravenna, Olympia, Corinth Canal
Local Guides for city sightseeing in Rome, Florence, Mycenae, Athens. Professional Tour Director while touring
Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to explore Italy's ancient capital. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers.
Included sightseeing with a Local Guide starts in St. Peter's Square, followed by a visit to the Roman Forum and the mighty Colosseum. (B)
Vistas of undulating hills, austere rows of cypress trees, terraced vineyards, olive groves, and rural villages form the backdrop of your journey through beautiful Tuscany. Take a break in Pisa to see the Square of Miracles and the amazing Leaning Tower, then on to the Florence area. End the day by joining the optional Tuscan dinner in a typical restaurant. (B)
This Renaissance gem and city of the Medicis will keep you enthralled the entire day. Traffic is banned in part of the historic center so visitors can wander at leisure and admire the city's timeless beauty in relative peace and quiet. Don't miss out on the included walking tour with a Local Guide, which features most of the city highlights. You will see Piazza Santa Croce; beautiful Piazza Signoria; Palazzo Vecchio and its courtyard; Loggia dei Lanzi; and, to top it all, Piazza del Duomo and its cathedral with the Giotto Campanile, and the magnificent East Door of the Baptistry, known as the "Gate of Paradise." (B,D)
An interesting journey today northwards for a first stop in enchanting Verona to see the legendary balcony from Romeo and Juliet. Just a few more miles eastwards to Venice. (B)
Venice is more like a marvelous film set than a real live city, with its criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water buses, arched bridges, palaces, and quiet little piazzas. The included orientation starts with a boat ride and is followed by time at leisure and a chance to watch Venetian glassblowers fashion their delicate objects as they did centuries ago. Don't miss out on the optional gondola trip, gliding along the picturesque canals with a local troubadour to serenade you. (B,D)
Start the day by journeying across the flatlands of the Po Delta to medieval Ravenna. Next, reach Ancona on the shores of the Adriatic. This afternoon, embark on the ferry for the crossing to Patras. (B)
Plenty of time to enjoy all the ship's facilities. Disembark this afternoon in Patras. Drive south into the Peloponnese for an overnight in Olympia. (B,D)

I've been playing through Sould Caliber 2 and to be honest, I'm a bit dissapointed, still, you should all get it, if just for one of the best intros in recent years
October 19th, 2003, 04:44 PM #49
The game's a blast. It reminded how much fun a simple over-the-top, beat-the-hell-out-of-everything game can be. Definitely worth playing.
And I really enjoyed Soul Caliber 2, but the Soul Calibers are only fun if you have a lot of people to play with that are at your skill level. Solo, they're boring.
And yeah, we Americans are a spoiled lot. But we get to gripe at Japan for getting them sooner than us.
October 19th, 2003, 04:55 PM #50
Thats true, all those happy little Japanese people getting their games a month or more before us. At least we dont live in Europe.

Well put Bear.
Part of the beauty of Joe is learning to tie all your VFX powers and special moves together for pure devastation. BTW, my biggest rock-on score so far is 9000 (I think it was 9000). The cheers were ridiculous. It was only so astronomically high though cuz I grabbed an unlimited VFX powerup that lasted a really long time. my favourite thing so far is to slow down then zoom in for one of the 2 way kicks and send a good 4 guys skyward. Ah the chaos.
October 20th, 2003, 11:11 PM #53
9000? Man. I've got some work to do. I pulled a 7000 and felt pretty good about myself.
And yeah, this game is definitely chaotic, but it's chaos with style.
October 22nd, 2003, 05:51 PM #54
Games played last half year:
Morrowind (good, but somewhat disappointing in certain aspects when compared to the predecessor (Daggerfall))
Civ III: Really enjoyable, but also really hard (for me, at least, I'm a bit of a lazy gamer, I quickly give up:P). I'm struggling at warlord.
Heroes of Might and Magic III: Decided to pick this one up and finally complete all the campaigns (lazylazylazy) and then moving on to see if I can regain some excitement about HOMMIV.
Planning to buy:
FIFA 2004 (whenever that is published)
NHL 2004 (been off that franchise for a few years (played all from 93-01) after they introduced that whole card-crap)
The Total War series
Maybe Half-Life 2, though that game could take its time to hit the shelves.

Top students
In the last decade, total enrollment at MU has grown from 26,805 students (fall 2003) to 34,658 students (fall 2013), a 29 percent increase. In fact, MU was the fastest growing public member of the Association of American Universities from 2001-11, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The fall 2013 student body is the most diverse in MU history with record numbers of international, minority and out-of-state students. Since fall 2002, Hispanic enrollment has grown 160 percent and African-American by 81 percent. MU Tigers graduate, on average, in 4.2 years.
Mizzou has twice as many Bright Flight Scholars — students who score in the top three percent of all Missouri students taking the ACT or SAT — as any other college or university in the state. More valedictorians and Curators Scholars also attend MU.
The quality of entering Mizzou freshmen continues to rise with 26.8 percent of the 2013 class coming from the top 10 percent of their high school classes. They also boast an average ACT score of 25.7, compared with the national average of 20.9 and state average of 21.6.
MU retains 83.5 percent of its students for their sophomore year, higher than the national average of 78 percent and state average of 75.1 percent for four-year public institutions.
MU's graduation rates far exceed national and state averages for four-year public institutions. The six-year rate for Mizzou is 70 percent compared to state (53.9 percent) and national (56.6 percent) rates, and it has increased substantially since 1997 when the rate was 57.7 percent.
MU students have high pass rates on licensing exams. Recently, 94 percent of law students passed the bar exam on the first try while 100 percent of teacher education students, 100 percent of veterinary students, 97.4 percent of medical students, 92 percent of nursing students and 100 percent of health professions students passed their national licensure and certification tests.
MU graduate students perform many of the hands-on aspects of research and go on to top-level work throughout society. Mizzou's 7,693 graduate and professional students make up 22 percent of the university's enrollment.
MU's NCAA Division I athletics program has 520 student-athletes in 20 sports, many ranked in the top 25 nationally.MU ranks second in the Southeastern Conference for multiyear Academic Progress Rate, which is determined by eligibility, graduation and retention of student-athletes.
MU ranks second in the Southeastern Conference based on average Academic Progress Rate, which is determined by eligibility, graduation and retention of student-athletes. Football, gymnastics and both men's and women's swimming and diving teams lead the league in APR.
Global university
The first public university west of the Mississippi River, MU turns 175 years old on Feb. 11, 2014.
MU's founding in 1839 as the first state university in Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase territory started a long tradition of firsts. MU has the world's first School of Journalism (founded in 1908), Missouri's first and only College of Veterinary Medicine (founded in 1946), the first engineering program west of the Mississippi (founded in 1849) and the nation's first College of Education at a public university (founded in 1868).
Based on quality of teaching, research and scholarship, MU is one of only 34 public U.S. universities — and one of only two institutions in Missouri — invited to membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU).
Many states fund separate research and land-grant universities, but Missouri combines those roles at its flagship institution. MU is both a land-grant university with a statewide mission of service to citizens and Missouri's largest public research university.
Classified with American universities that offer the most educational opportunities and highest level of instruction, MU is designated "Research University/Very High" and "Community Engaged" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
MU has more than 200 agreements outside the U.S. with educational, corporate and government entities on six continents. These partnerships help Mizzou attract strong graduate students and external funding.
MU has 2,236 international students from 120 countries, the largest enrollment of any Missouri higher education institution. Through tuition and living expenses, international students and their families contributed an estimated $417.9 million to the Missouri economy during 2010-11.
Many MU faculty, staff and students work internationally to improve our quality of life. In 2012, President Barack Obama reappointed MU Chancellor Brady Deaton as chair of the Board for International Food and Agricultural Development, which advises the U.S. on how best to use university research to feed the hungry.
MU has more than a century of history in international relations. Two Chinese students were among 64 in the School of Journalism's 1908 inaugural class. By 1921, faculty and alumni had helped establish one of the first journalism schools in China at St. John's University in Shanghai.
In 1986, officials from MU, the University of Missouri System and the University of Western Cape launched a longstanding academic and research exchange program to aid South Africans disadvantaged by their government's apartheid policies. It was the first such agreement between a U.S. university and a historically black South African university.
After the development of the European Union, MU established the Missouri Transatlantic Center, which hosts lectures and conferences on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 2006, the Mizzou Alumni Association added an international governing board member to represent graduates and eight alumni chapters overseas. There are 270,000 living MU alumni worldwide.
Economic power
MU boosts the economy by performing research, generating jobs, improving graduates' earning potential, and creating and commercializing businesses.
A $2.1 billion global enterprise, MU accounts for about 70 percent of the research dollars flowing to Missouri public universities. Research generates new knowledge and jobs.
Every week, Missouri's economy benefits as MU brings in an average of $1.9 million in private donations and attracts $2.8 million in federal research awards.
MU has about 3,100 active grants and contracts and spent $239.8 million on research in FY2012, including $114.3 million from federal sources.
Mizzou graduates more than 8,000 students annually, educating 26 percent of all undergraduates and 60 percent of doctoral students at Missouri's public universities. Roughly one in three degrees are in math, engineering, information technology, health and other science fields.
More Missouri physicians receive medical training from MU than from any other university. Three-fourths of Missouri veterinarians earned their veterinary degrees at MU, and law school alumni practice in every Missouri county and serve at all levels of the state judiciary.
Since FY2008, MU has filed 465 U.S. patents and signed 257 options and licenses for new technologies developed at the university.
Mizzou's licensing income from the commercialization of new technologies has reached $46.9 million since FY2008, a 112 percent increase compared to fiscal years 2002-07. In the last eight years, 25 startup companies have licensed technology invented by MU scientists.
Examples of recent commercialization ventures: Organovo, based on MU's 3-D bioprinting technology that builds living tissues, is now traded on the New York Stock Exchange; Beyond Meat, a soy-based meat substitute, is available from retail grocers nationwide; and Eternogen, which will offer collagen-based products for minimally invasive surgical applications, is now in the commercialization phase after attracting $1.5 million in investments.
The MU Life Science Business Incubator helps launch startup companies based on faculty and student innovations and also recruits young companies to Columbia to collaborate with MU researchers. Twenty-five companies are now located at the incubator after four years of operation.
During fiscal years 2000-12, MU's Extension Business Development Program generated $2.5 billion in economic impact for the Missouri economy, helping clients increase sales by $986 million, gain $857 million in government contracts and create 25,235 jobs.
Athletic events generated $188.7 million of additional spending in Columbia during FY2013, MU's first year in the Southeastern Conference. SEC membership increased Mizzou's economic impact by $44.8 million compared to FY2012.
The Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities named MU to its inaugural list of 16 "Innovation and Economic Prosperity" institutions, a designation that recognizes exceptional tech transfer, entrepreneurship, workforce development and community partnerships.
Groundbreaking discoveries
MU has pushed the frontiers of research and scholarship for nearly two centuries. Faculty inventors and creators share discoveries with students and link Missouri industry, agriculture, emerging businesses and promising ideas.
One of only five universities nationwide with law, medicine, veterinary medicine and a nuclear research reactor on one campus, MU leverages interdisciplinary strengths to boost the economy, attract top faculty and students, and to increase public and private funding.
As the state's major public research university, MU spends about $240 million annually on scientific research. The university also provides extensive end-market support of critical industries, such as conducting drug-development trials and testing animals to determine the cause of death and disease.
MU is investing in four areas with top faculty and resources. Collectively called the Mizzou Advantage, they are: Food for the Future (production of healthy, affordable food); Sustainable Energy (developing renewable energy sources); Media of the Future (new ways to communicate and market); and One Health/One Medicine (convergence of human and animal health).
MU ranks 14th in the world among universities for plant science research. With 120 plant scientists, 18 agricultural research centers statewide and MU Extension innovations for farmers, Mizzou is improving global food security.
Examples of first-rate interdisciplinary research environments at MU include the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center, the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center and the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute.
The Coulter Foundation partners with MU to fund $1 million annually in biomedical research to develop new products and devices that improve the lives of patients.
Mizzou has the nation's most powerful university research reactor and is the largest U.S. supplier to pharmaceutical firms of radioisotopes for diagnosing and treating cancer. Scientists in nuclear medicine and other disciplines invented Therasphere® for liver cancer, Quadramet® for bone cancer pain and Ceretec™ for brain imaging.
Mizzou is home to some of the world's best nanoscientists, who work with particles at the nearly unimaginable scale of one billionth of a meter to fight cancer and other diseases.
MU has delivered the benefits of research for decades. Faculty conducted landmark studies in crop rotation that led to advances in sustainable agriculture and developed Mo17, the basis for much of today's hybrid corn; discovered aureomycin, the first tetracycline antibiotic; performed the world's first pediatric angioplasty to correct heart defects in babies; and improved the quality of life for arthritis sufferers by showing that regular exercise is the best treatment for the condition.
Recent faculty contributions include a new process to repair damaged knees; a cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles; hand-held X-rays; transgenic pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids to help scientists understand heart disease; advances in older adult care; a heartburn drug called Zegerid; new knowledge to strengthen families; a breakthrough using gene therapy to treat muscular dystrophy; innovative journalism technologies; a potential cure for type 1 diabetes; and a novel soy-based food with the texture and consistency of chicken.
MU ranks 14th in the world among universities for plant science research. With 120 plant scientists, 18 agricultural research centers statewide and MU Extension farming innovations, Mizzou is improving global food security.
Solutions for a better life
MU's statewide health system treats patients from every Missouri county, educates future health professionals, conducts life-saving research and provides policy expertise.
The MU Health System is one of the most comprehensive health care networks in Missouri. In FY2012, staff handled 553,300 clinic visits and 22,108 inpatient admissions, performed 22,774 surgeries and delivered 1,728 babies. The system also educated 4,676 students, residents and fellows via the School of Medicine, Sinclair School of Nursing and the School of Health Professions.
Every year more than 1 million people turn to MU Extension's research-based programs to improve their lives, communities and economies. MU Extension meets specific needs of local residents in Missouri's 114 counties, including both rural and urban communities.
Faculty and students at the Truman School of Public Policy and MU centers and institutes make contributions to state and national policy. Examples include the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute and the Rural Policy Research Institute.
MU's Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory conducts more than 200,000 diagnostic tests annually to help determine the cause of death and disease in animals. The Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital treats 16,000 animal patients annually.
Since 1990, MU has decreased water use by 39 percent and energy use by 19 percent even though educational and general space grew by 37 percent. In FY2013 MU recycled 29 percent of its waste.
The 2013 issue of Hospitals & Health Networks, published by the American Hospital Association, credits MU with one of the top 300 most wired health systems in the nation.
Supportive environment
MU's Museum of Anthropology has 6,000 annual visitors, 80 million artifacts and the world's largest archery collection. It is the only anthropology museum in Missouri.
MU's Museum of Art and Archaeology holds the state's third most-extensive art collection and hosts 17,000 visitors annually. It is among the 4.5 percent of 17,500 U.S. museums accredited through the American Association of Museums.
Three out of five Mizzou students receive some form of financial aid (excluding loans). In FY2012, MU provided $109.9 million in scholarships, tuition and fee waivers and $56.6 million on student employment.
Almost 2,000 MU students participate in 100 Freshman Interest Groups, or FIGs. They live in the same residence hall and attend classes together, resulting in higher retention and graduation rates.
Named a veteran-friendly school by G.I. Jobs and Military Times EDGE for four years, MU was the first of three institutions nationally to open a full-service center for veterans and their dependents.
MU's award-winning Wellness Resource Center provides more than 200 student activities in such areas as nutrition, stress reduction, alcohol and other drug abuse, smoking, and more. Mizzou's Student Recreation Complex is one of the 10 largest facilities of its kind in the country.
In FY2013, alumni and friends made 60,178 gifts to MU totaling $103.9 million.
360 Degree Learning
MU has 19 schools and colleges 317 degree and certificate programs to help students reach their career and personal goals. Seventy options are available online, and Mizzou is investing $2.5 million for a second year to create new distance programs.
MU's nationally prominent faculty bring discoveries into the classroom, publish more than 1,600 books and scholarly articles each year, and attract multi-million-dollar research grants.
MU gives undergraduates the skills they need to become informed citizens who can solve complex problems. Thriving graduate programs, professional schools and the ongoing discovery of new knowledge through research take a Mizzou degree beyond what liberal arts colleges can provide.
MU offers students unmatched real-world experiences, including managing a bed and breakfast (The Gathering Place) operating a floral shop (Tiger Garden), preparing income taxes for families, representing domestic violence victims in court, providing health care, working at the country's only university-owned TV network affiliate (KOMU), performing at national venues and co-authoring articles in leading scientific journals.
Annually, hundreds of undergraduate students participate in formal research, and many others engage in research for pay or academic credit. MU has 12 major undergraduate research programs funded by the university and via external grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and others.
MU students hold patents and create startup companies. They own their intellectual property, manage an angel investment fund supported by the Kauffman Foundation, participate in the Entrepreneurship Alliance talent incubator, and win venture and pitch competitions.
The MU Office of Service Learning formally integrates community service into student instruction and learning. Most recently, 4,400 undergraduates volunteered 190,000 hours for 290 community and government partners through 250 courses.
About 1,300 MU students a year – the most of any Missouri school – prepare for global citizenship by studying or volunteering abroad. MU offers 300 programs in 50 countries; 23 percent of graduating seniors earn credit abroad.
MU's library collection is Missouri's largest. Ellis, University Archives and eight specialized libraries hold 3.35 million volumes, 8.1 million microforms, 708,893 e-books and 45,000 journal subscriptions.
MU students participate in annual campus competitions, including one for short films, another for music composers and one in which journalism, business and engineering students invent mobile communication apps.
Eighty-seven percent of MU students participate in campus activities, including more than 700 student organizations and the 1,400 educational, social and cultural programs offered annually.

Would be interesting to know why BTRFS is slower than ext4. Maybe it is simply inherently slower due to some design decisions that won't go away.
Phoronix: EXT4 Still Leads Over Btrfs File-System On Linux 3.8
With the final release of the Linux 3.8 kernel coming in the very near future, here are file-system benchmarks of EXT4 and Btrfs on the Linux 3.8 development code compared to recent Linux kernel releases.
Would be interesting to know why BTRFS is slower than ext4. Maybe it is simply inherently slower due to some design decisions that won't go away.
Just to point out the obvious: This is not really what BTRFS is about, so it's all a bit meaningless.
I've not used it so far for anything important as it still looks immature to me, but BTRFS is similar in intent to ZFS. It's designed with data integrity at it's heart. Ext4 could be 5 times faster than BTRFS, but if it comes at the expense of my data, then I'll choose the tortoise!
- Metadata and Data checksums that verify the read data is what was actually written,
- Automatic fixing of (meta)data if the redundancy is there,
- Snapshots for history,
- Manage large pools of storage units (typically physical disks),
Ext4 is "just" a file system.
- No builtin protection against silent data corruption,
- If you can't see it's corrupted, you can't know to try and fix it, plus redundancy would require md,
- Needs LVM for snapshots,
- Needs md for managing pools of disks,
Now if the test were for say 4+ disks in a RAID10, with Ext4 on top of LVM and md, then it might start becoming more apples to apples. It also goes without saying that setting up that BTRFS RAID10 would take much less effort and reading than md/LVM/ext4.
Last edited by kiwi_kid_aka_bod; 02-14-2013 at 01:38 PM. Reason: typo
I find the headline to be misleading... EXT4 can't be leading over Btrfs, as they address different needs. It's comparing Apple to Orange. If they were artificially made to be similar (like enabling nodatacow and stopping consistency checking on Btrfs), it might make more sense. But as it is...
EDIT: Ninja'd...
I'd be interested in seeing EXT4 in 3.8 vs. EXT4 in 3.7 given that 3.8 is supposed to support inline data, which could lead to improved performance as well as lower disk usage.
The big show stopper for BTRFS IMHO is that it does not appear to support hot spares. That's a major issue for anyone wanting to use RAID for work.
Yawn. Please can produce something meaningful like a comparison of native ZFS port vs. BTRFS. I would actually be interested in that... This article is just another junk "RSS filler"...
Most people will be using TB drives in the applications for BTRFS and both EXT4 and BRFS are optimised for seek times etc on physical drives - I'd like to know how these metrics compare.
This comparison tells me nothing :-(
I've recently bought a new hd (seagate momentus 750GB) and decided to go with btrfs for the root (though home and var are both still ext4). So far its been amazing. The laptop has had numerous lockups (unrelated to btrfs) and other unclean shutdowns and it has resumed each time with no need for the annoying journal checking.
As everyone pointed out already, a real test would be a simple RAID1 test of ext4 over MD, versus BTRFS RAID1 with two disks. And perhaps a similar test with RAID5/6 since the BTRFS code is almost ready.
Looking forward to it!

5 A Day Books: Week 9: Dogs
Read all about the benefits and ideas behind the 5-a-day book challenge here and please consider joining in!
This week we are focusing on books about dogs. I'm loving basing my choices around themes as it's easier to pick them out from the baskets on a Sunday evening! It should also make a nice way to reference all the books for future browsing on the site, I hope.
This is one in the ever-so-popular range of That's not my books that we have a fair few of. Cakie wasn't much interested in these as a baby, but at 2 years 9 months she now finds them really funny and loves to join in with great vehemence each time she exclaims "that's not my puppy!" Repetitive and easy to decode the meaning from the pictures.
This book is just delightful in so many ways, from the beautiful illustrations to the gorgeous notion of a flying dog! It is rhyming throughout.
Good old Kipper had to make an appearance this week of course! He is a much loved character in our home. This book is particularly lovely as it jumps through the alphabet from a-z, with Kipper and friends looking for things to collect to match each letter.
And a revisit to the gorgeous Hairy Maclary and his cheeky canine chums as they traipse through town looking for the scariest tom cat around! Brilliant rhyme that is so steady you can stamp your feet to it.
And the last choice is actually one of my most favourite books from when I was a girl. It's an American title (one half of me is from the USA!) and I think it's no longer available here in the UK. So this is my original copy, half falling to pieces due to the serious love it received from four of us growing up! Brilliantly witty and very, very clever rhyme and repetition make this just the most amazing children's picture book!
Please share what books you will be reading this week or ANY book or story related post that will inspire us all to read with our children! The linky will stay open until the weekend.

Playroom redo
If you remember our original space, it was great. We loved it. But the kids were getting bigger, and we needed a little more than a play kitchen and a sitting area for coloring. Not only did a we need a place for reading + lounging while watching a good movie (we were tired of duking it out over Peppa Pig when the Auburn football game was on) but it was time for some major storage. We've purged and simplified so many things, and we love the solution we came up with for actually organizing, and helping them see what they really have. You guys are about to get photo overload, and we apologize in advance. There was just a lot to this space, detail-wise and we wanted to cover it all. So here we go!

Beautiful, but too tall
We ordered this wedding ring to go with my engagement ring that I have worn solo for over 8 years. My engagement ring has a wide band and a pear solitare that sits very high. I had not been able to find a wedding ring that enhanced the solitare. When I found this one on Overstock, one of the reviews said they loved the ring but had to return it because it was too tall... I thought this one might work with my tall solitare. My husband ordered it for me for Christmas. Shipping was good but took slightly longer than other items, possibly due to holiday orders. I opened the ring on Christmas eve and we knew right away that it was actually too tall for my solitare. The filigree on the side makes it very pretty and rich looking. It is sparkly and beautiful. I also ordered size 7.5 and should have gotten 6.5. Alas, I returned the ring and have gotten a refund for the order. The price was excellent. I had been looking at the ring for several weeks and then suddenly it was discounted another $***. However, when there is a discount on the item, O.com does not honor the *** coupon discount. So.... although very beautiful, it did not work for me.Read More
Beautiful ring!
This ring was beautiful, well-made and very sparkly. Very good deal for a 0.5 carat diamond ring with a lot of extra details. Take note of the height of this ring though (7.25 mm) if you are planning to wear it with an engagement ring. I had to send this back because of the height. Would have been perfect if were a few mm's shorter in ht.Read More
Beautiful and timeless design
I initially bought this ring to wear by itself, but then saw the matching engagement ring and bought both separately. I wear them together and the look is stunning. This ring on its own is lovely. It is comfortable with a beautiful design showcasing the stones from the side. The sparkle is good, but not excellent. Beware the stones are grade I, which means flaws are visible with the naked. eye. It is a good price for the design and quality.Read More
Though I returned the ring because of the wrong size, it was absolutely beautiful! As mentioned in other reviews it does stick out a bit but the beauty of it made me not care. I decided to spend a bit more and ordered the same ring but the middle diamond quite a bit larger & am very happy with it!Read More
In Love!
I bought the engagement ring that matches this ring 2 years ago and had trouble finding a band to match it. I was very excited when I saw this ring not that long ago, to have one that matches perfectly is wonderful. I love the setting of this ring and get many compliments on my engagement ring. I love my rings together :) and can't wait to wear them both in just a few short weeks.Read More

Final Day In Lexington
Tough loss last night for the 'Birds, 7-6 in 11 innings. They came back with two in the ninth inning to tie the game but Jonathan Meyer hit a liner into center field to plate the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
The good news is that Lakewood also lost to West Virginia 4-0. The Shorebirds remain 6.5 games out of first place as August begins today.
Couple notes from last night…
- Always nice to see a long homer like Steve Bumbry hit last night. It looked to me like it cleared the entire big video board out in right-center field. It was his fourth home run of the season and his sixth as a professional.
- Kieron Pope has one RBI in each game of the current series. He ranks second on the Shorebirds with 38 knocked in. His career high in a single-season is 45, accomplished with the 'Birds in 107 games in '08.
- After going 0-for-21 between 7/22 and 7/26, Ty Kelly has turned it around and is 7-for-16 in his last four games.
- The last Shorebirds starter to earn a win was Kenny Moreland on 7/21 when he beat Hickory
- The Shorebirds have tallied a run in the first inning in each of the last two games
- The 'Birds are 4-10 in extra-inning games this season
- Relief pitcher Nick Haughian has stepped up and hurled 13.2 innings since the 20th of July.
- Ty Kelly leads the Shorebirds with 11 sacrifices on the season (sometimes an area which people don't notice)
It's a 3 hour trip to West Virginia so we should be in around 9 p.m. tonight. Continue to support the club!
