Space Coast Stadium hosts its first game of the spring.
VIERA, Fla. — With yesterday's Grapefruit League opener behind them, the Nationals get to host their first game of the spring this afternoon, with another familiar NL East foe as the opponent. Familiar, at least, in name only. This year's Marlins won't resemble in any way last year's Marlins, given the manner in which owner Jeffrey Loria and GM Larry Beinfest blew up the roster following a disastrous 2012.
One of the good, young arms Miami picked up during its fire sale is right-hander Henderson Alvarez, formerly of the Blue Jays. Alvarez will be on the mound today, facing a Nationals lineup with some similarities to yesterday's group, but with a few key changes. Danny Espinosa, Kurt Suzuki and Steve Lombardozzi each get their first start of the spring. So does Anthony Rendon, the organization's top prospect, who will start at third base and bat second.
Jordan Zimmermann gets the ball from Davey Johnson, looking to get his spring off on a strong note. The right-hander has spent much of the last two weeks working on his changeup, which he wants to make a bigger part of his arsenal this season. We'll see if he's able to apply it in a game situation today.
No TV coverage of this one, but Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler are here and will have the game on the radio. And, of course, I'll have plenty of updates and analysis throughout, so please check back often…

I'll be in my seats in section 111, row 3, seat 8.
- Positively Half St. - Feb 24, 2013 at 2:08 PM
NatsJack-I look forward to your pictures later today.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Danny playing for the first time…Lombo started yesterday…..Njack…..please post often about Danny's approach and long loopy lefty swing with a hole you could throw a toaster through (braking balls down and in).Please, please lets hope he has learned something and not been empowered by Davey's endless support for 200k's.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Njack another question please…Strass start and comments afterwards pointed to exactly why I an not in favor of WBC participation by Nats Pitchers. Strass was throwing almost only fastballs and is clearly not anywhere near ready to pitch in meaningful games. Gio and Ross are going to have to try to pitch like it is April and May in early March. That is stupid to do in my view. I recall you were all for it for Ross….how is this going to make sense for the Nats?
- sjm308 - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:11 PM
Can anyone here play or is this the eeyore & Natsjack hour? Eeyore, have you thought that maybe Gio and Ross are excited to represent their country and that this is just a little bit of an honor? Have you thought that maybe Greg Maddux and Joe Torre know a little about what they are doing and would not want a reputation of ruining a pitchers season? Have you thought that maybe, just maybe all the pitchers will be in the same situation and will not pitch any differently? Just wondering if you think or just complain.
- sjm308 - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:12 PM
Natsjack – if I am not on twitter I am guessing I will not be able to see your pictures. Correct?
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:17 PM
sjm, you need not be a member of twitter to see what someone else posts, so you should be ok.
- sjm308 - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:18 PM
Thanks natsjim but where do I go to look?
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:20 PM
https://twitter.com/NatsJackinFlTry that sjm…
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:21 PM
yes I have thought about all that….and I remain focused on the Nats and who is paying the bills here. Nats goal is the winning WS. Nats are paying with our help millions of dollars to accomplish that. Gio and Ross's individual goals and wants mean nothing. Only Team goals should be on the table and I see no benefit for Nats in WBC participation. As for Torre and Maddux….come on get you head out of the sand. Drew S and Danny E examples are only the most recent of endless examples of players not disclosing injuries and trying to hard for personal gain over team. You think Ross is going to tell Maddux he is not ready to throw his a breaking ball, change up, breaking ball, change up sequence to a tough MLB hitter who has been playing winter ball and Caribbean WS last month in early March? Stop please making it about individuals and think Team.
- Steve Hayes - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:25 PM
I really want to see Rendon cut loose and show us he hitter that he is. seems that everytime I watch him, he never hits — tear it up today, Anthony.Lombo vs. Espinosa. Is there really a true contest here? I mean, if Lombo has a good spring and Espi doesn't, will Davey really make Espi the bench player Lombo was last year?
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:30 PM
nope he will not and that is a problem. What he should do is send Danny to AAA to prove he can be coached and that he is healthy. If not then surgery, rehab and AAA next year.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:33 PM
Steve, I don't think there's a true spring training competition at 2b – Danny's the opening day starter barring any injury complications. The question is how long Davey sticks with him if he continues to perform as he did last year – if he's on pace for another 200 K season I would hope at some point Davey would sit him down, but don't know if he will.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:42 PM
Agreed on Rendon…He has not had 400 AB's in like EVER. Sure he has talent….a lot of talent but time is wasting. He needs to play everyday this spring somewhere….DH on the back fields and get 10 AB's a day…..he is very rusty.
- horsey - Feb 24, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Anyone else notice that Ghost of Steve M. has not been running his mouth this weekend while someone else has? Doctor JayB and Mister Hyde, perhaps?
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:01 PM
I saw 3 BP sessions with Espi. He used the leg kick from the right side but not from the left side. Consentrated on driving the ball the opposite way from the left side.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:04 PM
I like that Bryce is hitting 3rd again, I interpret that to mean Davey's favoring the Span-Werth-Harp-Zimm top of the order that makes the most sense even if Bryce said he wants to continue hitting 2nd.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:08 PM
good news….Njack…not like he did not know what to do or how to do it….it is more like is he willing to do it in the game. His ego takes over and he thinks of HRs instead of team.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:09 PM
Ghost is way smarter than I am but thanks for the thought
- sjm308 - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Just for the record, I think you both are pretty smart, and we will just disagree about the WBC. If JB had his way the US team would be made up of minor league talent.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:46 PM
correct…it means nothing
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 4:59 PM
what I would do is pick a team of MiLB single A or lower and pay for them to play in a winter league season and them let them be the WBC team.They need and want the money, they are not hurting themselves because they are ready at the right time. They function as a team and they are not hurting their MLB Teams in 2013
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 5:00 PM
They would win plenty and who cares anyway
- Teddy Rochlis - Feb 24, 2013 at 5:44 PM
There is an upside for them to pitch in the WBC, which is that by the time beggining of the season actually starts, they should be going full steam ahead and not have to ease into it and struggle the first couple of starts. Maybe what davey does to compensate the extra starts in the WBC is to pitch the two for a pitch limit of ~100 for the month of April, just my thought. So for the people that are saying that it only hurts the nationals i think you are wrong. Go ahead and let the arguement insue
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:01 PM
Ghost said last year he doesn't normally post on weekends. I am not ready to read anything sinister into his absence–yet.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:03 PM
Charlie and Dave are ON THE RADIO.. Their season of silence is over. JZ with a fastball for called strike 1!!!
- WT YL - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:05 PM
Trying to listen online their playing the sports junks…. wth!
- Doc - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:12 PM
Mark, please let us know if JZim is throwing his newer version of the developing change.Thanks!
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:13 PM
WT YL, I think you need the MLB At-Bat app. They cut off the MLB stuff for the online apps like Tune-in. At least, they did last year.
- waddu eye no - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:21 PM
MmmmmmCharlue & dave. Best music on the radio
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:28 PM
NatsLady, thanks, you are correct. I have said before I try not to post on weekends or evenings. I also don't like to post in-game because emotion causes knee-jerk posts.JayB, nice compliment and we all know you have had several insightful posts.Talk to you all tomorrow.
- BigCat - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:47 PM
NatsJack…..let me know how Rendon looks
- BigCat - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:48 PM
As you know, Im not his biggest fan
- Scott Margenau - Feb 24, 2013 at 6:48 PM
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:00 PM
Njack how was that Danny ground out to second a good out or yet just another example of Danny trying to pull everything and rolling over an outside pitch instead of hitting it to Left?
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:01 PM
Ghost….I think your policy is smart…wish I could follow it. Thanks as well.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:04 PM
Dave and Charlie talking about "Take on Me" – hope they make it the 7th-inning stretch music as suggested by several, would be a great new tradition and tribute to the Beast.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:06 PM
and from the other point of view…I wish there were no such thing as walk up songs. 7th inning stretch can stay take me out to the ball game and then play the game.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:15 PM
Given the choice I'd be happy if the walk-up music was banned altogether, but since that's not going to happen and given the popularity of the "Take on Me" sing alongs last year I think it's fitting. Plus, doing it during the stretch means it wouldn't actually interrupt gameplay…
- Steady Eddie - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:19 PM
Not that it really matters much, but does anyone have a clue what's going on with the game? Gameday shows the bottom of the 4th with Harper 1B, Moore and Tracy @K, then Desmond 1B and Espinosa 1B. Yet Gameday shows 2 outs, score still 1-0 Fish, and Espinosa on first. ?????
- MicheleS - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:22 PM
Eddie.. Rain delay right now
- Steady Eddie - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:24 PM
I know they're in a rain delay, but that doesn't add up. Either Desmond's really still up and Gameday fantacized his and Danny's singles, or there at least 2 runners on and a run in. Of course, Gameday is back to not showing balls, and being either way ahead or way behind the game action, so who knows?
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:24 PM
Can't seem to get 106.7 to live stream on the computer right now. Have to search the garage for a radio I guess.
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:27 PM
Steady Eddie: There's one out, Harper on first base, and Tracy at the plate. Desmond's on deck.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:28 PM
baseballswami, yep, no streaming as its blacked out. Either the MLB-App which you have to pay for or regular tune-in radio!
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:28 PM
swami, are you using MLB or the 106.7 site? You need the MLB app, because they don't stream live games on their site.
- Steady Eddie - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:29 PM
Thanks, Mark! That makes a lot more sense. Kind of bizarre Gameday sort of making up its own game — even to the point of showing the Nats with six hits and the Desi and Danny "singles" listed in the box score.Parallel universe stuff in a very trivial way.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:33 PM
I am re-watching yesterday's game, with the idea of grading the lefties. So far I have Bray at an F, and Abad at a C. Abad didn't give up any runs, but he did walk 2 guys (including a left-handed batter and an AAA-guy). Then my laptop overheated, so I have to wait a few minutes… How would you all grade Bray, Abad, and Erik Davis?
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:44 PM
Anybody else lose the wjfk audio on the mlb app?
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:46 PM
NL, I agree with your grades on Bray and Abad. I thought Erik Davis was really good.I liked Bill Bray when he was with the Nationals the last time, but was really disappointed in what I saw yesterday.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:46 PM
I guess it's spring training for them too, the Miami WAXY feed is fine.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:46 PM
Yes, NatsJim, I just noticed it is gone.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:46 PM
I am using the 106.7 site , which should not be subject to blackout – it's just not working. NatsJim seems to find that problem also. Currently listening to an actual radio, typing on the laptop and watching a nats classic muted on the tv. Elecrtonic overload.This game starting back up anytime soon?
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:48 PM
I just got mlb.com back.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:50 PM
Agreed that Bray looked awful yesterday.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:51 PM
swami, I could not get it on the 106.7 site either. Oops, I just lost mlb.com again.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:51 PM
Thanks for confirming guys – I'm still down on the mlb app, listening to the fish feed…
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:52 PM
Thanks, Sonny. I'm planning on a post evaluating the lefties, but I suppose they could call today's game and just go home. Also am looking at Clip as a "LOOGY." Might not be a bad idea, given how well he does against them, his tendency to have high pitch counts in his innings, and the need to be careful of his shoulder and his exhaustion. Not the worst thing if he came in to get a lefty out to start or end an inning. Boy, did he have a great June last year, and a pretty good August.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:55 PM
You can not use the 106.7 website to listen to Nats broadcasts as it is blacked out and all you will get is their alternative broadcasting.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:56 PM
Just looked at the radar for Viera. This storm is about done, but there is another behind it… Could be enough window to finish the game.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:57 PM
Gripe. Now I can't get the Miami or the Nats feed on mlb
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 7:59 PM
Sonny, they may not be saying anything. Last year the announcers would cut back to the local station if it was a long enough delay. I mean, there is a limit to the chatter you can dream up.
- Anna Peregrina - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:00 PM
I'm getting Dave and Charlie, but not directly from Gameday, I think from the "listen" link on the Nats main page.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:00 PM
Thanks NL. I guess I'll just try to get some work done while I'm waiting to hear something.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:00 PM
Just came back on both mlb.tv website and the mlb ios app.
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:03 PM
Swami, did Dave and Charlie ever throw it back to the studio while you were listening on the actual radio? They were taking callers when the sound cut, so I don't think it was a planned shutdown.Oh well, glad they pulled Bryce after the delay.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:06 PM
Thanks Anna, I'm getting Charlie and Dave from the Nats web site now also.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:07 PM
Curtis Granderson fractured his forearm. Out 2 to 3 months.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:09 PM
Ha, it's like a split squad, they took out everyone except Rendon for the 2nd half of the game…
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:11 PM
NatsLady, have you seen tomorrow's starting lineup? It looks like what you have now.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:12 PM
Gonat? Sorry, didn't understand your remark. No, I haven't seen tomorrow's lineup, is it posted somewhere?
- natsfan1a - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:14 PM
NL, you're going to grade them after a few innings in a ST game?
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:16 PM
1A, it's not a final grade… just a grade on this "test." Davey, famously, doesn't audition guys. I'm planning to update my spreadsheet after each appearance.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:17 PM
Gameday hasn't noticed that the game resumed.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:19 PM
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:20 PM
Way to go Rendon!!!!
- natsfan1a - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:20 PM
It will have a Rendon surprise when it does update.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:21 PM
Downtown Brown!!!
- NatsJim - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:21 PM
Good for Rendon.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:21 PM
Charlie and Dave took callers- I found a radio. Looking at the Nats classic vs the O's from 2 years ago- Ross looks like he was 10, Stammen, 12. Rendon with the power!!! Bad news from NY. That team is just beat up. Sounds like our reserves want to play ball!!
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:25 PM
If Zach Walter can field like this, we won't need Cesar Isturiz again…
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:25 PM
What ever happened to Shairon Martis?
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:28 PM
Boy, I hope we get videos of some of these plays eventually. I wanna see the unassisted DP by Marrero! You think these guys wanna be on the team this year or not?
- Anna Peregrina - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Gameday is being amazingly useless.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:30 PM
I think Martis is pitching for the Dutch team in the WBC
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:31 PM
Jonathan Albaladejo — that's the guy we traded for Clip, right? Didn't know he was still around.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:32 PM
NL – I was just thinking the same thing!!! Marrero has changed his body, his look, his intensity level. I don't mind "watching" the younger guys in ST. They are so motivated. I also hope there is video later.
- Gonat - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:54 PM
Nice quotes from Jordan Zimmermann:"I thought it went well. I threw strikes and was attacking the hitters. I mixed in a few changeups which were mostly good ones. I'm happy with the first outing…just going out there and attacking and throwing strikes. I threw a few that were on the corner that I thought could've gone either way, but for the most part, I was getting groundballs, getting early contact, and that's what I was trying to do."
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 8:56 PM
This guy Accardo, he is for Syracuse, right? (And for working in spring training games) of which there are WAY too many!
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:00 PM
I think maybe we need a post introducing us to some of these mystery guys and giving us an idea where theyigjt end up. I need a program.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:01 PM
*they might* end up.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:04 PM
swami, I posted yesterday on the pitchers. Here is that post. Also, federalbaseball did a post on the on-roster invitees (pitchers and catchers.)http://ladyandthenats.blogspot.com/2013/02/spring-training-game-1-pitchers.htmlhttp://www.federalbaseball.com/2013/2/14/3984958/washington-nationals-spring-training-2013-pitchers-and-catchers-non-roster-invitees

Sorry, I mean, their post is on the NON-Roster invitees (pitchers and catchers).
- Coach Mac - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:06 PM
Strange that Davey would wait until so late in the game to use Storen
- Corky - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:10 PM
I don't get the criticism of Espi on here. Espi was near the top of MLB in WAR for a second baseman last year. Even WITH the strikeouts. An out is an out; we do not need to obsess over how the out is made.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:13 PM
Corky, I'm with you, and I've said the same many times. You would think from the comments here that Espy hit .197 and was a terrible fielder. He's one of my favs and I'm rooting for him.Storen in and gives up a single to the first batter.
- JayB - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:18 PM
Out is not an out…..WAR is not a stat that wins Playoff games. It is OK but like any other stat is has it limitations.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:27 PM

These guys are trying to win this game. Awesome Natitude.
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:44 PM
I know it's meaningless, but it doesn't bother me at all that Atlanta and St. Louis both lost today…
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:49 PM
We just can't help ourselves. Philly lost to the Astros yesterday . Go, Bo!!
- NatsLady - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:54 PM
Bo called for a double steal yesterday and it worked! It made me smile.
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 9:57 PM
Our game is televised tomorrow? Masn showing Orioles on the guide.

MLB Network, Swami.
- Rabbit34 - Feb 24, 2013 at 10:05 PM
Storen is probably the one who needs professional help after blowing a save on Feb 24.
- sjb - Feb 24, 2013 at 10:06 PM
Martis was with the Pirates organization in 2011, then was purchased by the Twins last June, not making either big club (though he will be on the Netherlands WBC team along with the Shark!)Albaledejo was picked up by the Dbacks last year and pitched three innings for them before being let go this fall and being picked up by the Marlins
- baseballswami - Feb 24, 2013 at 10:14 PM
Thanks for the tv info. Have found the schedule and bookmarked it. We are going to have to follow them around a bit.
- Rabbit34 - Feb 24, 2013 at 10:33 PM
Nats are on TV tomorrow.
- NatsJim - Feb 25, 2013 at 12:40 AM
An out is most certainly *not* an out… all outs are not created equal. Would anyone seriously suggest that a strikeout is the equivalent of a warning track flyball with one out and a runner on 3rd? The equivalent of a grounder to first with no outs and a runner on 2nd? Really??
- peric - Feb 25, 2013 at 4:40 AM
The conspiracy theorists are out I see … now JayB is Ghost? Sheesh.A lot of spring baseball to be played and a lot could happen between now and the opener and between the opener and the beginning of June.
- peric - Feb 25, 2013 at 4:42 AM
Finally JayB find someone on the Nats who hit 37 doubles last year? Last I looked LaRoche didn't. Neither did Morse. Nor did Zim or Desmond. Bryce didn't even come close.Who hit 37 doubles? Danny Espinosa while playing gold glove caliber second base and shortstop.

Great glasses
Date : July 01, 2013
"As an umpire in FL I need glasses that cut down the glare. They also have to allow for good air flow around my face. These glasses do the job. I can also comfortably wear them under my mask. The nose and ear grips work great and prevent the glasses from moving while I am on the run. These sunglasses are a great product."

very breakable
Date : June 18, 2012
"My son bought a pair and the lens popped out after 3 games and the frame broke. Rawlings was great as they replaced the glasses with another pair. His second pair did the same thing after 5 games. I didn't call Rawlings a second time because we left them in the dugout at the visiting school which was 60 miles away. Rawlings is great to work with but in this instance I could not recommend the glasses to anyone."

Rays hope Hernandez joins in recent success
Tampa Bay's starter, like Houston's, has dropped last three decisions
In Houston on Wednesday, the Rays will look to end one streak while simultaneously extending another.
Winners of four straight and seven of its last nine, Tampa Bay will send Roberto Hernandez to the mound to face Houston with the right-hander trying to end a three-game skid.
The Rays' hot stretch comes after they dropped eight of 11 games from June 12-22. The club hopes its mojo will rub off on Hernandez, who went 1-4 in June with a 5.18 ERA.
In his last start, the 32-year-old took a step in the right direction despite taking the loss, giving up just three runs on six hits over eight innings against the Blue Jays.
"I thought Roberto was fantastic," Rays manager Joe Maddon said after the game. "That probably was his best game all year: one walk, seven punchouts. The ball was alive; the sinker was very good, the slider, everything was good today with him, too. It's just unfortunate we got outpitched today. But I thought Roberto pitched probably his best start as a Ray."
Opposing Hernandez for the Astros will be Bud Norris, who has also lost three consecutive decisions.
But Norris has been spectacular at home, posting a 2.38 ERA during 10 starts in Houston. That is good enough for sixth in the American League in home ERA. The run support has not been there, though, as he has just a 3-3 record in those 10 starts.
His last time out, Norris dominated the Angels, allowing just one unearned run and four hits over seven innings, but Houston lost, 4-2, as Norris got a no-decision.
The Astros have lost five straight games, with the offense being shut out the last two nights.
"The good thing for me is, I don't get caught up in the streaks or the numbers," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "I deal with one game at a time. That's just like, you look at last night's game, when you don't play well, you don't pitch well or hit well, it's easy to just look at the game and go, 'They outplayed us.' When you look at the schedule, if you get caught up in what happened yesterday or last week, it takes away from your ability to focus on the game."
Rays: Price recalled, Roberts sent down
To make room for the return of reigning AL Cy Young Award winner David Price, the Rays optioned infielder Ryan Roberts to Triple-A Durham. Price was the Rays' starting pitcher Tuesday and tossed seven shutout frames.
Roberts was sent down a day after collecting three hits, including two home runs, in Monday's 12-0 win.
"It's difficult; the guy has a great game [Monday], but he kind of knew that it might be forthcoming," Maddon said. "He'll be back."
Astros: Ambriz optioned, Oberholtzer promoted
The Astros optioned relief pitcher Hector Ambriz to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday and called up Brett Oberholtzer in his place.
Ambriz struggled mightily in the last four weeks, giving up seven runs and 15 hits over his last 6 2/3 innings of work.
"Quite frankly, our feeling was Ambriz needed a break," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "He's a good Major League pitcher who's not had a lot of success the last couple of weeks. We feel like there's probably a few things he needs to work on down there to get back in a groove so he can help us later this year."
Oberholtzer was a starter for the Redhawks, posting a 4.60 ERA and 5-6 record in 15 starts. He opened his second stint with the Astros this year by surrendering three runs in two innings Tuesday.
Worth noting
• The Rays own a seven-game winning streak vs. the Astros.
• This series began a stretch of 14 straight games for the Rays heading into the All-Star break against teams currently under .500.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators is expected to appoint an interim public health director Monday.

She also served as interim director of the Franklin County Public Health agency when it was looking for a director, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
St. Lawrence County Legislators wanted to name an interim director before beginning the search for a permanent replacement because of the length of time it may take, Ms. St. Hilaire said.

Jaguar's new 225 mph XFR and XKR
Jaguar unveiled all-new supercharged 510bhp XFR and XKR at NAIAS today, and announced that the new XFR prototype has already run a top speed of 225.675mph (363.188km/h). The new XFR is the first XF to carry the 'R' designation which defines Jaguar's most performance-focused models. Powered by a new supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine developing 510PS and 625Nm of torque. But for the production car's electronically limited 155mph top speed, it would be the fastest Jaguar ever, even faster than the 217.1mph (349.4 km/h) set by the XJ220 in 1992. The Jaguar XJ220 held the record for the highest top speed of a production car until the arrival of the McLaren F1 in 1994. High-speed runs play a large role in the history of the Jaguar marque, with this May seeing the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar XK120's record-breaking 132.6mph run set in 1949. Full details of the new models inside.

Customer Reviews for Cellular Kids Room Brown Double Cell
"Very happy with shades"
By Marge from Sea Girt, NJ
I have ordered shades not only for my bathroom, but for my family room as well. I was not only impressed with the quality of the blinds, but they were so easy to install. Literally, I just popped up the brackets and snapped in the shades. My teenage boys even remarked how nice they were (and they never notice anything).
View this product"3rd Time Around"
By RichToye from Jackson, WI
I have purchased cellular shades for three homes and have had nothing but excellent product and service. My last purchase had a small defect which they promptly replaced. Fit is very good, just remember to follow their measuring guidelines. I'll continue to purchase as the need arises.

wow they are moving on very quickly.
i guess nouveau has more developers and gets much more attention, which is kind of a paradox - nvidia is pretty well supported on linux, so the demand for the accelerated opensource driver wouldn't seem to be that high.
on the other hand - ati's drivers really do suck, and development of the opensource drivers doesn't move that quickly. but it's not stalled either. am i missing something here?

Moore tries to stay perfect as Rays look to sweep O's
Tillman rides five straight quality starts into series finale
Off to the winningest start in the Majors this season and the best for anyone his age in years, Matt Moore doesn't have to be told that he's undefeated deep into May.
At 7-0 with a 2.44 ERA, the Rays left-hander will put his spotless record back on the line Sunday when he meets the Orioles and Chris Tillman, who has been the best part of a beleaguered Baltimore rotation.
As the Rays go for a road sweep, Moore knows his personal streak exists, but it's not his focus.
"I try not to pay too much attention to it anyway. I think it's great how well we're playing on the days I'm pitching. . . . I know I'm 7-0," Moore said, adding, "It's pretty hard at this point to not know what's going on."
At 23, Moore is the youngest starter to begin a season 7-0 since Jered Weaver of the Angels went 9-0 in 2006, also at 23. He's the first lefty of any age to start 7-0 since Dontrelle Willis in '05, and he could become the first to go 8-0 since Jimmy Key did so for the Orioles in 1997. He has an eight-game streak dating back to last season -- already tied with David Price for the longest in franchise history.
And if that's not enough star power, an 8-0 start for Moore would be the best by a player so young since Babe Ruth did it in 1917.
The Orioles, meanwhile, are looking to Tillman to right the rotation ship as best he can. The Orioles have had their starter go beyond five innings only once in the last seven games, and they are 3-4 over that stretch. They've gotten only one quality start in their last eight games.
That start came from Tillman, who is on a run of five consecutive quality starts. The last one came at home against the Padres, a victory in which he allowed one earned run over seven innings of work.
Tillman is 1-4 with a 5.06 ERA in eight career starts against Tampa Bay, and he is 1-2 with a 6.31 ERA in five outings vs. the Rays at Camden Yards.
Moore, meanwhile, is 3-2 with a 2.60 ERA in six appearances against the Orioles, five of them starts and the other in his Major League debut. Heading into this one, the undefeated lefty wants to keep it simple.
"I want to use as few pitches as possible in the first couple of innings," Moore said. "That's a mindset I've had going into games in the past. But moreso than anything, I'm just really trying to focus on going deep into the games."
Rays: Offense keeps on rolling
The Tampa Bay offense racked up another day of double-digit hits and big numbers on the scoreboard Saturday, continuing a month-long trend of dominance.
In their last 29 games starting April 17, the Rays lead the Majors with 167 runs scored while posting a .286 batting average. They had a pair of homers Saturday to give them 43 since April 15, second in the Majors only to the Rangers since April 15.
Orioles: No relief for Johnson again
After going for 35 consecutive successful save opportunities dating back to last season, Jim Johnson now has two blown saves in a row after Saturday's rough outing.
Johnson gave up five earned runs while recording just one out as the Rays rallied for victory after taking his first blown save of the season Tuesday.
Worth noting
• The Orioles will host the Yankees for a three-game set after Sunday's finale, starting up with New York on Monday as a stretch of 17 games without an off-day continues. The Rays will travel to Toronto for three games against the Jays, starting Monday.
• The Rays have won three consecutive road games for the first time this season, and they have clinched their second consecutive road series.
• Through the first eight games of the season series, each team has won four and the two teams have combined for 106 runs.

According to the Miami Herald and other outlets, former Miami assistant basketball coach Jake Morton, who has since become director of basketball operations at Western Kentucky University, has been accused by the NCAA of accepting more than $6,000 from imprisoned Miami booster Nevin Shapiro.
The Herald also reported that former UM basketball coach Frank Haith, now head coach at Missouri, "failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the men's basketball program."
Haith said Tuesday that he had received his Notice of Allegations, but that "contrary to what was reported, there was no unethical conduct in my notice of allegation. And it is just an allegation. So we get a chance to defend ourselves. The biggest thing I want to tell you is, I'm glad this thing is almost over with."
While it did acknowledge receiving the Notice of Allegations, it declined to release the specific charges despite a second request by the Herald and other media outlets, even though Shapiro told investigators that there had been "rampant alcohol and drug use," prostitution, bounty payments and the providing of expensive cars to players.
The Herald reported that former UM assistant coach Clint Hurtt, now at the University of Louisville, has received his copy of the Notice of Allegations against him, but the school has not granted a release of public records request. The Herald reported a source said Hurt will dispute some of the allegations.
In addition, another source told the Herald that former UM assistant football coach Aubrey Hill and assistant basketball coach Jorge Fernandez were both being accused by the NCAA of "unethical conduct." Fernandez declined comment when contacted by the Herald in a phone call.
Other media sources claimed Hurtt was also charged with violating "unethical conduct" provisions, including reportedly declining meals, lodging and transportation to recruits and current and former players in 2008 or 2009.
According to a report by Yahoo! Sports, the NCAA Committee on Infractions will hold a hearing for the university and coaches named in the investigation June 14-16 in Indianapolis. A conference call is also expected to be held Friday to "address their (concerns of those named in the investigation) complaints about procedural concerns."
A spokesman for Miami's athletic department said he had no direct knowledge of the Notice of Allegations or other elements reportedly tied to the investigation.

Wilson, Latos embark on sophomore years with clubs
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are a victory away from winning baseball's first season-opening Interleague series, and they'll send left-hander C.J. Wilson to the mound Wednesday with a chance to open the season 2-0.
Cincinnati counters with Mat Latos, who -- like Wilson -- is starting the second year with his current club.
In December 2011, Wilson signed with the Angels for five years and $77.5 million. Just nine days later, Latos was traded from San Diego to the Reds in exchange for four players.
Wilson's first season as an Angel ended poorly, as his ERA ballooned from 2.36 to 3.83 in the second half of the season. Once the season ended, Wilson underwent surgery to have bone spurs removed from his pitching arm.
Still he won 13 games for the Halos and racked up more than 200 innings.
"If last year's my down year, in a nine-year cycle, and it's the worst year I have, perspective-wise, I think a lot of pitchers would take those results," Wilson said. "Not me. I'm not happy with that."
As for Latos, he said he feels much looser this season -- a result settling into the Reds' clubhouse. In the offseason, the right hander set the goal of improving his changeup. During the spring, he worked with special assistant to the general manager Mario Soto, a former Reds ace.
"I think the changeup is going to be a really good pitch for me, especially at Great American Ball Park," Latos said during Spring Training. "[Soto] opens the door and sheds light on things that I didn't really understand, and I now understand. I'm able to throw it for strikes. I'm able to throw it behind in the count. I'm able to throw it first pitch or deep in the count."
Monday's opener marked the debut of the Angels' "big three" of Josh Hamilton, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout. The trio combined to go 1-for-14 with three walks in the Halos' 3-1, 13-inning victory.
"It's a great ballclub, looking at the lineup and the pitching staff," said Hamilton, who signed with the Angels during the offseason. "But the cool thing is knowing that when you get on a team like this, everybody knows what their role is on the team.
"They know they don't have to step outside that role, and they know that if they don't get the job done, the guy behind them can get the job done. He's going to pick up the slack."
Angels: Eyeing a fast start
Following a 6-14 start to the 2012 campaign, the Angels are all too aware just how important a fast start is.
"I think that definitely had a huge outcome on our season," outfielder Mark Trumbo said. "I mean, we were fighting an uphill battle for quite a while, and then when it's all said and done, we missed it by a couple of games. Even by going .500 the first month, we would've gotten where we wanted to be, at least as far as making the playoffs."
Following their series against the Reds, the Angels head to Texas for a showdown with the division-rival Rangers.
Reds: Ludwick dislocates right shoulder
Reds left fielder Ryan Ludwick was removed from Monday's opener against the Angels with a dislocated right shoulder. The Reds officially placed Ludwick on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday after he had morning surgery to repair a torn labrum in the shoulder.
Ludwick sustained the injury in the bottom of the third inning, when he dove headfirst into third base and landed awkwardly.
On Monday, the Reds used Chris Heisey as a replacement for Ludwick, who posted a .275/.346/.531 slash line last season.
Worth noting
• Joey Votto's 18 career home runs during April are the fewest he has hit in any month, but his .320 batting average is the second highest.
• The Reds have never won a series against the Angels, as the Halos took two of three when the two clubs met in 2002 and '07.
• Although he went 0-for-4 on Monday, Albert Pujols is hitting .350 against the Reds in his career, with 46 homers and a 1.071 OPS.

Illegal buildings against the biggest protected area in Bulgaria - Take action now! Yes, it is true! The new attempt to destroy the Bulgarian nature, the new attempt to rob our national wealth. The Mayor of Tzarevo Municipality Petko Arnaudov together with the investor of the illegal buildings \"The Golden pearl\" in vicinity of Varvara village appealed against the Order of the establishment of the Strandja Nature Park from 1995. Currently, only the statute of a Nature Park is the barrier for the uncontrolled buildings at the South Black Sea coast. The biggest protected area in Bulgaria, the Strandja Nature Park will be destroyed because of the illegal vacation village. The potential legalisation of the holiday village near Varvara will open \"Pandora\'s box\" for transforming the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast into a concrete desert. According to the Mayor of Tzarevo the coast line of the Strandja Nature Park should be developed as modern yacht ports, enormous golf playgrounds, super luxury holiday villages on the beach, private beaches with mini-hotels, expensive restaurants, bars and basins...; Are we really ready to allow this to happen Nature Park Strandja was established in 1995 for the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, as well for preservation of the unique Strandja\'s folklore, culture and historical heritage. With its 1 116 km2 the park represents 1 % of the country area. Here is the place when the first reserve in Bulgaria was established in distant 1933 - Silkosia. Strandja NP is the only Bulgarian area included in the list of fifth prior for the conservation areas in Central and Eastern Europe. The Park is of great European importance regarding vascular plants, breeding birds and diversity of reptiles. It has global significance for the mammals, invertebrates and forest with tertiary vegetation. The European migratory way - Via Pontica goes over Strandja. The total number of the habitats in the park is 121 and according this index Strandja is in a top position among the protected areas in Europe. We insist on: Not allowing a Court decision announcing the Order for Strandja\'s Park as insignificant. Such decision will damage the national and European interests and will demolish the biggest protected area from the map of Bulgaria. Removing all illegal buildings within the area of the Strandja Nature Park; The Ministry of Environment and Water to accept the Management plan of the Strandja NP and to guarantee the implementation of the Bulgarian law and wild nature conservation, in a harmony with the local people. EVERY SIGN IS A VOICE FOR STRANDJA, FOR NATURE, FOR OUR FUTURE! P.S. Advertisement appearing on the site of the free on-line petitions is not connected with the petition! The authors of the petition for saving Strandja Nature Park are working on their removal because some of them advertise properties in areas within National Parks (e.g. Bansko region) where building is taking place in infrigement of the laws!
There are hundreds of thousands of empty apartments along the coast of Spain, in what were beauty spots. Following over-development we had the crisis. People don't even want to play golf in these deserted luxury holiday villages... Maybe learn from others' mistakes?
Radostina Belcheva
Save nature. It may just be this small area, but if we look at the big picture, it is small areas pooled together that helps keep our planet stable. Bulgaria won't collapse financially if this area is saved

A person who claims to not partake in the indulgence of any animal products, but still swallows cum. Like the term pescatarian, which combines the the Italian word for fish with vegetarian, Semetarian combines the the Italian word for semen with vegetarian.
I don't eat meat, or wear leather, but I do swallow jizz, therefore I am a Semetarian.

Our Strategic Plan: Development Process
Background on the Development Process
In the summer of 2004, Case Western Reserve University began a university-wide strategic planning process. This important initiative is designed to establish the priorities that will guide the university over the next five years.
In December 2005, then Provost and University Vice President John L. Anderson convened a steering committee, consisting of faculty, staff and student representatives, to move the plan, then called the Academic Strategic Plan, forward to completion. Since its inception, the steering committee grew to include a faculty representative from each of the schools.
In April 2006, given the university's budgetary issues and leadership changes, the decision was made to refocus the planning process from the development of a classic strategic plan, one with extensive detail and defined metrics, to a more fundamental document, one that defines the institution's purpose and direction and can help guide decision-making during the transition.
After Barbara R. Snyder became the new president of the university on July 1, 2007, she charged a new steering committee with a formal strategic planning effort. The nine-month process that followed included input from hundreds of students, faculty, staff, alumi and supporters of the university, working groups and issues task forces and planning consultants. This effort yielded a set of reports and planning documents that builds on the foundation laid by earlier initiatives.
The steering committee's goal was to take a statement of institutional direction and priorities, now renamed the University Plan, to the Board of Trustees for its review and approval. The document "Forward Thinking" was approved by the Board in June 2008.

Very interesting talk, clears a lot.
Phoronix: Where systemd Came From & Where It's Going
Lennart Poettering recently spoke at a BarCamp in Warsaw, Poland where he talked about systemd. In the 100+ minute presentation, he covered where systemd came from, where it's going, and other details...
Very interesting talk, clears a lot.
I still hate systemd's logging.
ya ok, that guy on the right side that kept talking.
i hate him.
there wasnt anything really particularly new or groundbreaking in this talk, its all been said and done before in his blogs and previous interviews, everything he use to say systemd will do, he is now saying systemd is doing, and now we just have to wait for all the distros to suport it (he had a focus on mentioning how hes trying to "sell" systemd to various possible users). also i guess the other kernels out there should look into how to suport systemd, but thats pretty dificult because of the heavily used linux specific kernel functions. but they could do somehting similar to what openssh does where they have a openbsd specicific version, and then a general version. just split the code base. systemd is low level enough that as long as you kept the higher level stuff the same like the api and the user interface i dont think anyone will care if its a linux or hurd or bsd specific version. honestly i think thats what would have already happened if the otehr kernels were still relevent enough for that to matter. over the past 5 years everything not linux in the unix community has gained less and less spotlight. solaris is not dead but may as well be. hurd was never really born, just people talked about it because it was something to do, and bsd is falling behind because of its fragmentation and not keeping up with desktop inovations.
For I deal with structured logs daily, and gigs or teras of them, HELL YEAH fields sucks balls.
You see, first of all that's breaking all pipes. cat binary_shit | some commands..nope that does not work. That's the worse thing about it, by very, very far.
Then, fields don't match up. Like, one program decide "user" means something. Another program decides it means something else. THAT is what i call hell.
Then, searching isn't even really faster, and you got a database behind all this to index all the fields, to fix the speed (then its actually faster)
Then, fields are, guess what, SIZE LIMITED. Oh great, so you want to log a 1025 char command? Bad luck, it's going to be truncated. What, syslog doesn't truncate this anymore since 10 years? Too bad, that's not syslog.
Then finally, you write a program, and you just have no clue what fields to use. So you do like the others. You mess it up. You mix fields. Finally, you make a field called "message" and you put all the crap in it. Yay, thanks for nothing.
I reiterate. Systemd logging sucks. It sucks a lot. It's an error. Just like many other decisions, in the name of pushing your "product" and trying to be well known. Yay.
Note that the above rant, which also happen to be full of truth, is one of the reason why I like that Linus manages the Linux kernel. Such shit wouldn't happen at the kernel level, even when things are not perfect there, it just doesn't go to this level of crap. Linus will always speak up and trash the people who are interested into anything else than pragmatic solutions.
I wonder what will happen, when he'll be gone.

by Dave Bar Give your headphones the power they deserve Top-notch headphones are a great way to experience reference-quality sound for a fraction of the price of a high-end loudspeaker system. But if you're plugging your 'phones straight into the headphone jack on your stereo or PC, you could be missing out on the subtle differences that separate great recordings from the merely good ones. That's because a lot of manufacturers use low-cost, low-fi circuitry to drive their headphone jacks leaving you with uninvolving, one-dimensional sound. Enjoy a big sonic upgrade Pro-Ject's Head Box S headphone amp delivers the power you need to bring out the best in your headphones and your tunes. Connect it between your music source and your 'phones to experience richer, deeper bass, clearer highs, and gobs more detail. You'll also hear farther into your favorite recordings for that "you are there" feeling.

High-performance headphones need high-quality amplification to perform up to their full potential. If you connect them directly to the headphone jack on your computer, iPod®, or stereo receiver, you may be disappointed. A separate headphone amplifier sends a stronger, cleaner signal to your headphones.
Works great Written By rminnehan, Massachusetts on Sunday, March 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this for an elderly gentleman who is very hard of hearing. I hooked it up through the headphone jack of his stereo receiver and ran an extension cable so I could place it next to his chair so he could control the volume as needed. I used a higher end set of headphones. It sounds great and is very convenient for him to use. He can once again hear the music he loves. Pros: Easy hook-up, sounds great, convenient volume control. Cons: None
Just what I was looking for.. Written By Raymond, Georgia on Sunday, March 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My second headphone amp.....first one was returned...different brand...Pro-Jet better tha the first one also less $$$$.....outstanding value...... Pros: Well made sounds great..... Cons: None.....
Installed for Father In Law Written By Anonymous, California on Sunday, January 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Based on reviews by other people, I felt this was the best way to bring sound to a headset. I wanted a wireless but none had inputs via RCA jacks and plugs. They pretty much went with a miniplug. The TV set I had does not have a miniplug outlet. I left it with my father in law for his TV set. He is hard of hearing. The unit worked was tested by him. We tried it too and it is easier to hear the dialogues which are a bit unclear no matter how loud the TV is turned up - and he has it turned up quite loud. My father in law has been ill and not continued to use it. I got Sony ear buds not headphones, thinking to progress in stages, making an upgrade if he uses it more. Because it will get hot in the summer I don't know if he would want to have headphones could become uncomfortably warm in the summer. I did appreciate the Free 2 -day UPS delivery by Crutchfield by air to Hawaii. It arrived in time, on Christmas Eve. The unit feels solid and has a simple front panel: On/Off, an LED that lights up when it is on, and a smooth feeling volume control. We could not get it to work off the Samsung LED TV RCA outlets and following someone else's review, hooked it up to the Cable incoming box. The sound on the TV can work at the same time and shutting it off does not affect the sound through the headset. Oddly, the Cable box sound is a tiny bit earlier than the sound coming from the TV set. Overall happy with unit and its performance. Hopefully my Father in Law will find it useful. Pros: Compact size, simple front panel interface. Connection to RCA inputs on back easily done. Like the weight of the unit as it won't be pulled off the shelf. Cons: None so far.
Pro-Ject Head Box S Written By SteveR, Buffalo on Sunday, January 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Without dropping $500+ on a tube preamp, the Pro-Ject Head Box is an economical way to boost up the audio on your cans. Works great, recommended! Pros: works great! Solid increase in sound quality in my headphones. Economical. Cons: None.
Pro-Ject Head Box S Written By Anonymous, Massachusetts on Thursday, November 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) High quality product. Reliable, distortion free sound from the lowest to the highest setting. Metal housing and rubber feet keep product in place. Simple to use. My 86 year old mother was having trouble distinguishing the dialog while watching tv. After I connected this product to her tv cable box and to a pair of headphones she says she can now hear the dialog clearly.
Nice Little Product Written By dj, Tucson on Saturday, October 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was searching for a means to enjoy better sound quality without spending a great deal of money, and this headphone amplifier has been a great solution. It's compact, sturdy, has an on/off switch (which is very necessary, despite what others may claim), and is simplicity itself to set up and operate. I have it connected directly to a CD player on my desk, and use it with a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones. The sound quality is far better than anything one can achieve by plugging headphones into a computer or iPod. Pros: Takes up little space, works very well, has on/off switch. Cons: No cons that I can see.
I had a need and Crutchfield had the product Written By JAW, Valley of the sun Arizona on Sunday, September 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the process of creating a personal sound system for TV viewing, I needed a method of controlling the volume and feed the output to headphones. I told my product advisor all the component parts I was using and he told me about the Pro-Ject Head Box S. My advisor and I connected via Crutchfield's internet system and immedily sent me a link telling me about his recommendation. The rest is history, I received the unit in a couple of days and it works great. I will be expanding the system soon and ordering another. Pros: I was and am so pleased with the results of this purchase. Cons: I see no downside.
Fantastic product Written By JohnH, Massachusetts on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 Sounds great! Rich and detailed. Hearing nuances I haven't heard before. A great product. Plug any device in to it (e.g., IPhone, laptop, CD player) and it dramatically enhances the quality of the audio. Pros: Simple to set up and use. Versatile. Cons: None.

Great Headphone Amp for the money Written By Trex, Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No need to spend a ton on a headphone amp, in my opinion. This unit works great!I I have it hooked-up through my additional RCA Output jacks on my Mark Levinson 38S Preamp and it sounds fantastic. Crutchfield's service is 2nd to none........highly recommended for speed of shipment and no questions asked returns. Pros: Price.......looks......ease of hook-up.....performance Cons: N/A
Excellent sounding amp! Written By Edward F, Beaver Dam, Kentucky on Friday, June 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This headphones amplifier is absolutely the Best Bang For Your Bucks! I've been using headphones amps for about 15 yrs, and this is the Best performing amp right out lf the box I've ever used. Pros: Plenty of head room which allows the amp to handle dynamic range in any kind of music or movie. The amp delivers clean smooth sound with no distortion. You can't ask for anything more from an amp in this price range. Cons: none so far
Excellent headphone amplifier Written By thebadfrog, North Oakland County Michigan on Thursday, May 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a set of those Bose super-dupper noise cancelling headphones. I want to listen/watch my "blood-guts-monster" movies that my wife can't stand. This amplifier is fantastic. Simple to use. Great sound reproduction. I plug into my aux out RCA jacks [no head phone jack] on the HDTV and turn down the sound on the HDTV speakers. Nobody can hear my movie but ME ..... Yahoooooo'ey .. my wife can watch the movie [ if she chooses] but can't listen to it LOL LOL LOL .....! Perfect selection to get great sound out of great headphones and watch great "blood-guts-monster" movies. Pros: It works as advertised and sounds even better ! Cons: None ..
Works Great Written By BillD, Wilkesboro, NC on Friday, August 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I hooked this this little amp up to the component output of an older portable CD player and was very impressed with the results. It brought the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 headphones I was plugging directly into the CD player into their own. Crisper, highs, clearer bass that was not over emphasized, and a more natural sound stage. It put the quality of my vintage Kenwood Basic home system on my desk. As another reviewer stated, the unit out of the box was good but a little rough; after a couple hours it sounded nothing short of great. Pros: Compact size, simple hook up, great sound Cons: I should have bought one a long time ago
It works. Written By Curt, Chewelah on Friday, July 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hooked this up to an old NAD CD player and Sennheiser HD 555's. Previously (over the years) used headphones plugged into Marantz, Sony, Denon receivers or integrated amps. The amp sounded harsh at first. I left it running for a while, listened to it some more, it got broke in, I got used to it. Now, it sounds great. Made a significant difference in the sound. I always thought the sound depended more on the source and the headphones than the amp. Now, I think it might be about even among the three. Pros: Works, sounds good. Cons: Costing me more money. Shopping for closed headphones now, for more isolation for when it's noisy around here.
Great little unit Written By John S, Vermont on Saturday, May 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This little unit sounds great. I am not using it conventionally though. I have it hooked up to the variable pre-amp output of a TV. I have the headphone output hooked to a Cambridge Soundworks powered stereo speakers and sub set up. Great clean sound from this mini headphone amp. Pros: Easy to set up, small size, great sound. Cons: Zilch.

Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body.
For many people, varicose veins and spider veins — a common, mild variation of varicose veins — are simply a cosmetic concern. For other people, varicose veins can cause aching pain and discomfort. Sometimes varicose veins lead to more-serious problems. Varicose veins may also signal a higher risk of other circulatory problems. Treatment may involve self-care measures or procedures by your doctor to close or remove veins.
Varicose veins usually don't cause any pain. Signs you may have varicose veins include:
When painful signs and symptoms occur, they may include:
Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they're smaller. Spider veins are found closer to the skin's surface and are often red or blue. They occur on the legs, but can also be found on the face. Spider veins vary in size and often look like a spider's web.
Self-care — such as exercise, elevating your legs or wearing compression stockings — can help you ease the pain of varicose veins and may prevent them from getting worse. But if you're concerned about how your veins look and feel and self-care measures haven't stopped your condition from getting worse, see your doctor.
Arteries carry blood from your heart to the rest of your tissues. Veins return blood from the rest of your body to your heart, so the blood can be recirculated. To return blood to your heart, the veins in your legs must work against gravity. Muscle contractions in your lower legs act as pumps, and elastic vein walls help blood return to your heart. Tiny valves in your veins open as blood flows toward your heart then close to stop blood from flowing backward.
Causes of varicose veins can include:
These factors increase your risk of developing varicose veins:
Complications of varicose veins, although rare, can include:
There are no special preparations you'll need to make before your appointment. Your doctor will need to look at your bare legs and feet to diagnose varicose veins and figure out what treatment might be best for your condition.
Your primary care doctor may recommend that you see a doctor who specializes in vein conditions (phlebologist), a vascular surgeon or a doctor who treats skin conditions (dermatologist or dermatology surgeon). In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to prepare for your appointment and begin your self-care.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Even before your appointment, you can begin self-care. Try not to stand or sit in one position for more than 30 minutes or so, elevate your legs when you're seated, and avoid uncomfortable footwear and tight socks or hosiery.
To diagnose varicose veins, your doctor will do a physical exam, including looking at your legs while you're standing to check for swelling. Your doctor may also ask you to describe any pain and aching in your legs.
You may also need an ultrasound test to see if the valves in your veins are functioning normally or if there's any evidence of a blood clot. In this noninvasive test, you lie on an examination table. A small amount of warm gel is applied to your skin. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between the transducer and your body. During an ultrasound, a technician trained in ultrasound imaging (sonographer) presses a small hand-held device (transducer), about the size of a bar of soap, against your skin over the area of your body being examined, moving from one area to another as necessary. The transducer transmits images of the veins in your legs to a monitor, so a technician and your doctor can see them.
Fortunately, treatment usually doesn't mean a hospital stay or a long, uncomfortable recovery. Thanks to less invasive procedures, varicose veins can generally be treated on an outpatient basis.
Self-care — such as exercising, losing weight, not wearing tight clothes, elevating your legs, and avoiding long periods of standing or sitting — can ease pain and prevent varicose veins from getting worse.
Wearing compression stockings is often the first approach to try before moving on to other treatments. Compression stockings are worn all day. They steadily squeeze your legs, helping veins and leg muscles move blood more efficiently. The amount of compression varies by type and brand.
You can buy compression stockings at most pharmacies and medical supply stores. Prices vary. Prescription-strength stockings also are available.
When purchasing compression stockings, make sure that they fit properly. Using a tape measure, you or your pharmacist can measure your legs to ensure you get the right size and fit according to the size chart found on the stocking package. Compression stockings should be strong, but not necessarily tight. If you have weak hands or arthritis, getting these stockings on may be difficult. There are devices to make putting them on easier.
If you don't respond to self-care, compression stockings, or if your condition is more severe, your doctor may suggest one of these varicose vein treatments:
Varicose veins that develop during pregnancy generally improve without medical treatment within three to 12 months after delivery.
When it comes to treatment options for varicose veins, it pays to be a cautious health consumer. Advertisements claiming "unique," "permanent" or "painless" methods to remove varicose veins may be appealing, but they may not actually measure up to those claims. Before having any procedure, ask your doctor about any health risks and possible side effects.
You may want to inquire about treatment costs, as well. Many insurance policies don't cover the expense of elective cosmetic surgery for varicose veins. However, in many cases if you have signs or symptoms, such as swelling and bleeding, insurance may cover the treatment.
Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins are effective. However, it's possible that varicose veins can recur.
There are some self-care measures you can take to decrease the discomfort that varicose veins can cause. These same measures can help prevent or slow the development of varicose veins, as well. They include:
Horse chestnut seed extract may be an effective treatment for chronic venous insufficiency, a condition associated with varicose veins in which leg veins have problems returning blood to the heart. The herb may help improve swelling and discomfort caused by varicose veins. Talk with your doctor before trying horse chestnut seed extract or any other herb or dietary supplement to make sure these products won't interfere with any medications.
There's no way to completely prevent varicose veins. But improving your circulation and muscle tone can reduce your risk of developing varicose veins or getting additional ones. The same measures you can take to treat the discomfort from varicose veins at home can help prevent varicose veins, including:

Whither America: A Foreign Policy Debate Among Realists, Nationalists, and Internationalists Recorded: Tuesday, May 6, 2014
May 6, 2014 George Washington University, Washington D.C.
"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing. To focus on these differences, The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and The Independent Institute in Oakland, California are hosting a debate among the various foreign policy traditions. Please join us for this necessary and timely debate."
Ivan Eland is the Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute.
