The Nationals have signed outfielder Rick Ankiel to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, a club source confirmed this morning.
Ankiel, the former Cardinals phenom whose pitching career flamed out nearly a decade ago, has resurrected himself as an outfielder and in 2008 hit 25 homers with 71 RBI for St. Louis. He struggled this season, though, hitting just .232 with six homers and 34 RBI in 74 combined games with the Royals and Braves.
The 31-year-old, however, is a gifted defensive player with a strong arm and could challenge either center fielder Nyjer Morgan or left fielder Roger Bernadina for playing time next spring.
Ankiel's contract, which won't become official until he takes a physical, includes $1.25 million in performance bonuses.
A second-round pick in the 1997 draft, Ankiel sped through the Cardinals' farm system and made his big-league debut two years later at 19. The left-hander went 11-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 30 starts in 2000Read more »

I can only see him start against righty starters. His numbers against southpaws are horrible to say the least. He could also be used as defensive substitute late in the game I guess. Definitely not someone who can start for us everyday.
- Cwj - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Before all the sarcastic posts start pouring in, just wanted to say I'm glad the Nats are putting some pressure on Nyjer Morgan and Bernadina.
- Pilchard - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:29 PM
Does this put the Nats roster at 40 or did they have to make a corresponding waiver move?
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:29 PM
Mr. Plush better make sure he starts 2011 with his head screwed on straight, because this sounds like a potential substitution for him. Sacrifice some potential offense (relatively speaking) for some potential defense and its largely a wash, so Tony P. better see this as his very short leash going forward.
- JD - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Not being sarcastic; but Ankiel is no better than a 4th outfielder and he is nothing special defensively either.
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Cwj…. just like you, I'm waiting for JayB's blast at management again.I agree that anything pressuring Morgan is a good move.
- Stew Magnuson - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:36 PM
The Nats need more depth in the outfield positions. It didn't cost them a lot to sign him. Nothing wrong with having a couple fourth outfielder types on the bench or in AAA.
- Bowdenball - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:38 PM
I think they did it to make Colin Balester feel better about his control issues.
- BinM - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:38 PM
I'm with Cjw on this one. Ankiel might push Morgan & Bernadina a little for playing time, and would be a plus bat off the bench. Not a great move, but not a bad one either.
- PAY TO PLAY - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:41 PM
Finally, and I say finally as I think this spells the end of the JMaxwell error, I mean era.After trading Willingham, I was thinking there was still a roster spot waiting for Maxwell.Chalk up another Bora$ client on Rizzo's roster! I think Rizzo has definitely earned an invite to The Boras Corporation Xmas Party.
- HHover - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:48 PM
I'd love to see somebody pressure Morgan to shape up, but that's apparently not the signal the Nats are sending–Ladson says that Ankiel will compete for the LF job with Bernie. Too bad.
- Dizzy_Dean - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:49 PM
I think this is a good move.It solidifies the bench and gives you a solid left handed hitter in the 5 or 6 hole against starting RHP.Defensively, he's also solid, not great, but solid. Bernie's better overall, but RA has a cannon of an arm. He's also good insurance if one of the triumvirate of Morse/Bernie/Morgan doesn't work or goes down due to injury.It'a always good to have a deep bench.
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:54 PM
HHover…. it's Ladson… Ankiel is a good defensive CF with some pop. This may have more to do with Benandina leaving winter ball after only 7 games.
- Julian Asange - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:58 PM
I have it on good sources that Ankiel will be resurrected as a starting pitcher next season and challenge for the number one starter slot. Apparently the control issues are fixed.
- Steve M. - Dec 20, 2010 at 4:58 PM
HHover, seriously? You take Ladson's analysis on this one? I am thinking this gives Rizzo a little more trade bait now too.Don't forget Corey Brown is lurking. I don't see Corey Brown starting out the season on the 25 man but I could see him as a callup if Nyjer is Nyjer of 2010.All in all, good move as the Nats needed 1 more in the mix for depth and almost creating a certainty of not having Justin Maxwell as the first option off of the bench.
- Todd Boss - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:09 PM
The move is definitely in line with Rizzo's thinking: get a plus defender to have available. AND, get a lefty hitter for a righty-heavy lineup.Except! I don't think Ankiel is really that good of a defender. Look at his uzr rankings: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1142&position=OF#fieldingMaybe in left field he's a plus defender, but his center field range has always been negative. Seems like his defensive abilities are more based on reputation than performance. Not that this isn't constantly the case in baseball (see Jeter, Derek and his inexplicable gold glove in 2010).I'm all for pushing our outfielder core in the spring, but if Ankiel pushes Morse to the minors then I don't get the move. I have been advocating finding a replacement for Morgan in center and perhaps Ankiel is that person.
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:09 PM
I like this move for the reasons stated above: putting pressure on Morgan and getting a good defensive outfielder with a decent bat (when used properly). This goes along with the move to make the Nats more athletic and improve their defense. Good move.fpcsteve
- natscan reduxit - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:10 PM
… maybe the Nats want him to resurrect his pitching career. Oops, it looks like Julian already picked up on that one. … but history has showed the kind of switch Rick has made can be done. Hey, if it worked for George Herman Ruth, why not for Rick Ankiel?Go Nats!

- erocks33 - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:12 PM
@Julian Asange — that was funny!Why do I think that this is a precursor to the Nats signing Derrek Lee now? Lee would be the everyday 1B, and the Nats would then platoon Morse (R) and Ankiel (L) in left. This would then pit Bernadina and Morgan in a cage match/fight to the death to take over the everyday CF/leadoff spot down in Viera …
- Positively Half St. - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:14 PM
Might Maxwell be removed from the 40-man roster? Who else might take the fall?
- Pilchard - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:15 PM
This move will not push Morse to the minors. Ankiel is a left handed batter that struggles against LHPs; Morse murders lefthanders. They are complementary players.
- joemktg - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:20 PM
Do the Nats have the reputation as being the last stop/last chance before you're shown the door? Do the players, after going to the Nats, think "OMG if I don't turn this around I'm toast"? Natstown = Island of Misfit Toys?
- Sunderland - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:22 PM
I don't see this as adding a left handed bat to the lineup. Yeah, he's left handed, but if he hits, it will either be in Nyjer's spot or Bernie's spot, and they're both lefties."a solid left handed hitter in the 5 or 6 hole"Get serious. Ankiel is not a middle of the order hitter. He struck out in 33+% of his AB's last year! He's a pinch hitter, late inning defensive replacement.We need a left handed power bat. If Ankiel is it, we're in trouble.This will put very little pressure on Nyjer, because the only way this offense works is with Nyjer leading off. We have no one else who could.
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:24 PM
Still seems like a trade is still in the offing … the Grienke trade would have cleared some spots on the 40-man and 25-man (and potentially left some glaring holes as well) … still seems like Rizzo has multiple poles in the fire to carry so many on the 40-man. Have to wonder about Marerro a younger right handed first base fielder like Adam Dunn? He should be a part of a trade package to an AL team shouldn't he?

A lefty on the bench with enough power to keep the other side's attention, and can credibly be left in games late, is a good addition, at this price. I've been wondering if they would do this
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:28 PM
I think Ankiel replaces Willie Harris. Like Ankiel Harris is also a left handed hitter. If anyone has been "shown the door" it looks to me like its Willie Harris. He looks like "toast" at this point if the Nats pick Ankiel over Harris. I suspect Ankiel is the better fielder in the outfield than Harris at this point. A new guy for good ol' double switch Riggleman to replace Morse with after he hits two home runs. And someone who won't chafe at being a bench player.

"Do the Nats have the reputation as being the last stop/last chance before you're shown the door? Do the players, after going to the Nats, think "OMG if I don't turn this around I'm toast"?"Scott Olsen, Brian Bruney, Joel Peralta and Joe Beimel (among others) would probably disagree with that statement.
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:32 PM
Still wondering if they won't make another run at their boy Justin Upton in AZ. Imagine an outfield with Harper, Werth, and Upton? Might make you forget about the pitching woes until they can develop from within? Then again perhaps not?
- Mark - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:32 PM
Bobby Cox's last win was on that big splash HR of Ankiel's in the 9th inning in San Fran.I like the move and like PayToPlay's thoughts.Worse case is Ankiel will be a good guy off the bench!

- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:43 PM
The only negative is if Ankiel ends up playing every day and pushes Morse to the bench. If Ankiel is a bench player, then this move is acceptable. If Riggles makes Ankiel a starter and talks about intangibles then there are a lot of problems on this team. I still see a 90-100 loss team even if Ankiel is on the bench. Anyone see different?

- Wally - Dec 20, 2010 at 5:58 PM
Hard to get very excited either way on this. Seems like a cost effective possibility for the bench, and if he gets more than 200 ABs, we are probably having a lot of OF problems. i also agree with the comments that the stats do not show him as above average defensively, or even average, for that matter. I think that he has been negative on UZR every year he played.Also hard to believe they keep both Ankiel and Stairs. But it was cheap, he has major league experience and its another spring training option. I am fine with it.
- raymitten - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:22 PM
I like it. No matter what Ladson says, I think Ankiel is here to push Nyjer Morgan. Last year he chose the Royals over the Nats because the Royals would let him play center. If he replaces Willie Harris' roster spot, how can anyone complain?
- The Great Unwashed - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:26 PM
My first thought after reading this headline was that Mike Morse will be playing first base.
- Ballinonabudget - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:32 PM
The 40-man roster has 42 names on it after the signings of Wang and Ankiel and the Willingham trade. Who gets the boot?I think Ankiel takes Maxwell's spot. He's had enough chances. I think Atahualpa Severino and Aaron Thompson also have to be near the top of the list for first cuts.
- Will - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:42 PM
Mark, correct me if I'm wrong, but by adding Brown and Rodriguez for Willingham, we're already at 41 men on the 40 man roster. Ankiel puts us 2 players over the limit.Ankiel is a terribly unexciting signing. He's progressively gotten worse each year with his bat. His power has disappeared, and he's bad defensively. So why again are we paying this guy $1.5mil? Seems like a waste to me.I'd rather keep useless pitching fodder like Atilano, Martis or Thompson on the roster than Ankiel.
- sjm 308 - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:46 PM
Agree with most posters that this is an ok move. Not great but certainly a better move then Kevin Mench. I join with others in thinking that Morgan will not be able to coast in spring training. I don't like the idea of Ankiel being an every day player but his 2008 season was a good one. I just want Nyjer to get on base, run the bases intelligently and make plays in CF. We know he can't throw but if he does those 3 things we will be better than last year.I am in the minority here but I would not mind seeing Willie Harris back. He can play both infield and outfield and he is not a trouble maker. I don't want to see him back hitting under .200 but I think he could help us. Go Nats!
- Mark Zuckerman - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:47 PM
Will: You are correct. The Wang and Ankiel signings mean the Nats need to remove two players from the 40-man. No official announcement from them yet who is getting removed.
- Anonymous - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:48 PM
I think Ankiel takes Maxwell's spot. He's had enough chances. I think Atahualpa Severino and Aaron Thompson also have to be near the top of the list for first cuts.Or a trade is about to be executed. Perhaps the Grienke deal wasn't the only one they've been pursuing. There are other starting pitchers that might be available via trade other than Garza. Anibel Sanchez for one. Jonny Cueto and Homer Bailey. Carlos Zambrano because of his huge contract might be had for cheap from the Cubbies. But he weighs 260 and does not seem to be in great shape … have to think Rizzo would pass on that.
- PAY TO PLAY - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:53 PM
When Ankiel was traded on July 31 last year to the Braves it was also noted that he had a right leg injury that hampered his year. These were some of the quotes:"Ankiel's a tremendous outfielder, a great athlete," third baseman Chipper Jones said. "Hopefully he helps solidify things out there in center.""I know he hasn't played much, but since he's been back, he's played well," manager Bobby Cox said. "He's great defensively. He's really, really good."Coming from Bobby Cox 5 months ago, that says a lot. This is a low risk signing so not a big deal. Still like it better than the options of Willie Harris and Justin Maxwell.

Because if they haven't (or don't), he'll be on the 25 man roster or head back to his original team.
- Wally - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:58 PM
MLBTR says that Pavano is down to us and Twins. I am not real excited about him, and hope they don't give him 3 years. Not sure why he is better than Blanton; 2/$17m left for Blanton, and they look like the same pitcher to me. Plus Blanton is younger. All depends on trade cost; if it is equal to the 3d rounder they lose for Pavano, seems like a no brainer.Also rumored that Lee is looking for $10m; that seems extraordinarily high, but Pena got it so he probably will too. Would really like to see the Nats use Storen as primary bait for a 1B prospect like Alonso from Reds. I don't know if that is enough to get it done, but he would fit their profile better (LH, good D, 6 years of control).
- Mark - Dec 20, 2010 at 6:59 PM
I think Maxwell will be removed from the 40 man and my guess is Manny Acta is frothing at the mouth to get him to Cleveland for a reunion.Acta is trying to channel his best Bowden in getting axed players from his old team which is why a Carmona trade wouldn't surprise me.

- Theophilus - Dec 20, 2010 at 7:32 PM
This is all a left-right play. Having lost Dunn and decided LaRoche is over-priced (w/ which I am starting to agree), W. Harris being gone (blessedly) and being stuck w/ Derrek Lee (if that) in the 1B sweepstakes, they've stockpiled Ankiel and Stairs for some left-handed pop off the bench. That's it. Although they now own four players (Werth, Bernandina, Ankiel and Brown) I'd rather see in CF than Nigel Knucklehead. Maybe people should stop focusing on who the Nats are acquiring and more on who they're going to get rid of. How many knuckleheads on the Phillies? Learn the concept of addition by subtraction. Case(s) in point, Dukes and Milledge. Apart from Morgan, there's no one on the likely 25-man roster, right now, that I feel the need to get rid of. But there are a couple of so-called starting pitchers that are getting close to being a waste of meal money.
- Theophilus - Dec 20, 2010 at 7:37 PM
God, please save us from Prince Fielder. Think about his Pops; think about George Scott; think about Mo Vaughan; think about John Mayberry; think about . . . Albert Haynesworth. If the guy wants mega-millions, make him a nose tackle.

- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 20, 2010 at 8:27 PM
Nope. Matheus was signed to a major league contract.I saw him in a couple of outings in Fall Instructional League. He and A.J. Morris were head and shoulders above everybody including Solis, Cole, and Ray. The Nats are stockpiling some serious bullpen help, probably because of the lack of starters.
- Theophilus - Dec 20, 2010 at 8:29 PM
No bias in knucklehead definition . . . wait until the world has had a full exposure to Colby Rasmus. How is it biased to ask that a guy (A) hit the cut-off man; (2) keep an eye on the pitcher when leading off first; (3) cut down on his swing w/ two strikes; (4) stay out of fights?I will give you a perfect example of a WASP knucklehead: Mark Reynolds (previously incarnated as Dave Kingman). I think it was Ray Knight who pointed out if Reynolds cut down on his swing on just 100 of his 200 Ks, how many more balls would be put in play, how many more hits he would have, and how many more runs he would have batted in. He'll hit 50 HRs in Baltimore (left field was measured for Cal Ripken), strike out 220 times, bat .216 (a 20-point improvement), and the Os will finish last.

Mattheus had a 40 man roster spot all last season. He was outrighted just a few weeks ago (to make room prior to the rule 5 draft I think). Supposed to be recovered from TJ surgery and ready to go.

As far as the 40-man roster thing goes, they do need to remove three players now (counting the Mattheus re-signing). It's possible those players have already been removed but are currently going through waivers (which isn't made public). If they clear waivers, they'd then be outrighted to Syracuse. I imagine we'll hear something in the next day or two.Also, the Ankiel move isn't official yet because he still has to take a physical. So they don't need to clear a roster spot for him until that happens.

Overall I think this is good. A definite step up over Willie Harris. My two contributions to the discussion:1. I know it's an outfield position this time, but this feel a lot like the Adam Kennedy signing last year. We ended up with an excess of players, all of whom had a reason to expect to be starters. I wonder whether Ankiel expects to compete for a starting role, to be used in platoon, or to hang out with Stairs on the bench. 2. I've got serious suspicions of an upcoming trade. This would be a great pickup for the bench, but I'm thinking it's more likely that Rizzo is setting up to package Morse, Bernadina or Morgan with a few of the others mentioned in the Greinke talks for something surprising. Hope springs eternal…
- JaneB - Dec 20, 2010 at 10:43 PM

That's awesome. I'm really looking forward to testing out RAID6.....raid5/6 is being rebased against the device replacement code. I'll have it posted this Friday along with a nice series of benchmarks.
Does anyone have any more information about this? Currently, when you tell btrfs to remove a drive, it rebalance the data first (by moving the data to other drives in the array). This takes a while with big/full disks, since the data has to be written. How is the new method different? Instead off moving data off of the old disk, and then back on to the new disk, does it simply produce new stripes on the new drive, and not bother copying anything off first? I'm curious about this, but couldn't find much info. Anyone know?In terms of line count, most of the code comes from Stefan, who added the ability to replace a single drive in place. This is different from how btrfs normally replaces drives, and is much much much faster.

Of course they then claim that it's "an achievement of the Microsoft Windows Team"...
That's exactly what I thought! Never expected MS to actually become so uninspired that they'd actually start ripping GUI concepts from linux instead of their regular source of inspiration! ;-)
I've thought exactly the same when I saw them. Looks pretty ugly to be honest.
Some years ago many people said KDE was looking too much like Windows, now they're saying Windows looks like KDE; something's wrong here, isn't it?
Apart from that, I think this screenshot looks quite good, but the design needs to be tweaked a bit, there are a few elements that seem disturbing...
it's KDE ported to windows! :D :D
Could be worse, could look like gnome or xfce. They should just go back to the old 2k look with polished up graphics. It was their best UI of them all.
That clear flamebait.. XFCE rules over all!Quote:
Could be worse, could look like gnome or xfce.
Anyway, 7 is just Vista tweaked. Nothing to see here. Copying of KDE is pretty lame though. I bet the final version will have a 3d cube of desktop spinning.

Guspig is a word that can be pronounced unlike meaningless sets of three letters.
It means - grow up stop playing silly games
It means - grow up stop playing silly games
Many adults waste time and money using the computers at their workplace for their own purposes. The profits of shareholders, and indeed the finances of taxpayers who support such things as education and hospitals, goes rapidly down the plughole. It is time someone took these wastrels to one side and said " Guspig "

I offer 20 bucks for solving the problem. PayPal only though. Not much but hey, consider it a good beer
Please help me out here, I'm loosing hope. No one has been able to help me with what seems to be a trivial issue.
Basic problem description:
Notebook with switchable graphics (old generation)
Catalyst driver installed for the AMD chip
Once the notebook is switched to use the AMD graphics and booted, switching back to Intel graphics brakes the graphics configuration (fallback mode etc.).
More details here (comprehensive description):

Well you could use a special detection to switch to the fglrx legacy in the initrd. Maybe install Kanotix and i could help you.
Do you mean - prepare the live version for use and test if it boots correctly?
I asked the same question on Fedoraforums http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1649182 Since this topic has more views, lets continue here, unless you don't have Phoronix account.
The bounty is up, $33 now.
Yes, I do need it.
If no one is able to provide a soultion, I'll go dual boot when Fedora 19 comes out. My normal system will by Fedora default with Intel graphics. The other will be a barebone Fedora with LXDE and Catalyst installed.
I don't think it's possible to do that. I previously tried to set up a dual boot with Fedora 10 (x86) and Fedora 10 (x64) so that I can use the x86 version to watch anime streams using Flash, and the x64 version for everything else; the installer always ended up clearing out one of the OS installed.
My suggestion would be for you to KICKstart the funding for working dynpm for radeon opensource driver.
Because its just a matter of few years till your card will be unsupported, so why invest money there?
Xorg log when you install catalyst and switch to intel will help you. Probably some module or some library replaced and loading with intel hardware.

Title 7 published on 2014-01-01

Title 7 published on 2014-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 7 CFR 235 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-02278 RIN 0584-AE19 FNS-2011-0030 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Food and Nutrition Service Proposed rule. To be assured of consideration, written comments on this proposed rule must be received by the Food and Nutrition Service on or before April 7, 2014. 7 CFR Parts 210 and 235 This proposed rule would establish minimum professional standards for school nutrition personnel who manage and operate the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The proposed rule would also institute hiring standards for the selection of State and local school nutrition program directors; and require all personnel in these programs to complete annual continuing education/training. These proposed changes respond to amendments made by section 306 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA), which require USDA to establish professional standards for school nutrition personnel. The HHFKA also requires each State to provide at least annual training to local educational agency and school nutrition personnel. This proposed rule is expected to provide consistent, national standards for school nutrition professionals and staff. The principal benefit of this proposed rule is to ensure that key school nutrition personnel are meeting minimum professional standards in order to adequately perform the duties and responsibilities of their positions.

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Telecaster Electric Guitar:
It's a nice guitar,works well,sounds good,looks good however it is made in Mexico and you get what you pay for, good bang for the buck.If you want an American made Tele then pay the extra $300.00. All things taken into consideration this Little Tele is ok, buy it and you won't be disappointed.
Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Telecaster Electric Guitar:
Love my tele, I use it constantly in the studio, the ultimate rhythm guitar. Nice and jangly sounding, also use it for clean lead breaks. The ash body is nicely figured, I replaced the white pickguard with the real deal, a black Bakelite guard, Teles always look best with a black pickguard in my opinion. Replaced the 3 steel bridge saddles with the high sustain brass ones like the originals had and it made a huge difference in the sound, more sustain and tone. Fit and finish looked pretty good right from thefactory. I rebuffed the fretboard and body to get any imperfections out of it. I've had it a couple of years and it just keeps sounding better.
Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Telecaster Electric Guitar:
This is my first guitar. I only asked for a standard tele, but I received the 50s tele instead as a gift. They didn't tell me either, and I only found out later after looking at other teles, which is when I had my first epiphany - this is different. I later had another epiphany once I started playing the guitar: this is a really, really good guitar. The construction is impeccable. The frets and fingerboard are seamlessly bound to one another, as if the wood suddenly turns to metal and rises from the surface. The pickups are completely silent, without any hiss or obvious interference, and yet they scream. Other reviewers have commented on how the teles are diverse instruments, capable of country, blues or metal - which is the reason I wanted one - I like them all. I am very pleased to say that all of these accounts were 100% correct. This guitar rules. Whenever I hear it make a great note for the first time, I just cant help but shake my head and say "damn." Just turn up the gain and hold on.
Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Telecaster Electric Guitar:
This sweet G is great. You don't even have to try to play it, something just happens! Great guitar if you're into funk!

All skins sold "AS IS". We do our best to eliminate skins that have possible defects; however, our prices are based on an "as is" basis. This means, on average, you can expect to lose one out of ten skins. Obviously the tightness during installation will alter this ratio, so figure this loss in your cost.

Good way for the brow to start his professional career.

The Brow becomes the youngest American basketball player to win a Gold Medal.
Good way for the brow to start his professional career.
Davis has more medals than griffin. My clipper hate demands I state this.
Congrats teh Uni.. No doubt success will follow him wherever he goes.
Nice moment for TC and CPme too.
Also firmly believe Chris Pauls best years are way behind him.
Only does enough to get by with the occasional great play.
Looking forward to EJ growing into his prime with us.
It was like he was telling Spain "Alright Spain, you've scored enough in this game. I won't let you have any more chances!"
MoneyMase Roger Mason Jr
Big congrats to my brotha @cp3 and my new teammate @AntDavis23 for bringing home the gold!MikeGillie14 Mike Kidd-Gilchrist
Congrats to my bro AD proud of u bro!! 1st player of the year, national champion, then a gold medal. What a year!! Love my brother
Do someone have a clip of that rebound? I watched every USA game but I didn't wake up in time for the gold medal game
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
Chris Tomasson via Twitter:
@christomasson: Anthony Davis becomes the first player to win an NCAA title and gold medal in same year since Christian Laettner in 1992.
@christomasson: Anthony Davis first player to in same year win NCAA title, Final Four Most Outstanding Player award and gold medal since Patrick Ewing 1984
Monty, Dell, and Benson: OUR big 3!
yea I've noticed that too, he drifts through large portions of the game, but he is very clutch and does look to take over in the fourth and when he needs to (obviously not with team usa but for the clips).
Lebron just seems to get better and better as a player and a leader tho, crazy to watch
There's nothing valid or relevant about what he says when EVERY elite player picks and chooses their time to take over the game. That's what elite players do is it not? Possess the ability to take over a game whenever? There's NO WAY anyone who watched that tournament entirely can honestly sit up here and say Chris played badly enough to suggest that his play is declining, without sounding like a flat out hater?
it isn't about whether is statement is correct or not, it is just an opinion, and you are claiming he ruined the entire moment of the USA team winning gold and anthony davis making some history already just because he brought up chris paul, that's ridiculous, I don't comment much but there is no need to be an *** like that
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I cant beleive the 7th ranked best prospect just won a medal over drummond!!! the 1 ranked prospect!!!
True Love

Olympic Roundup: Snowboard star White misses medal
The drama unfolded while the women ski jumpers fought it out for the first-ever Olympic medals, after campaigning for 13 years to be included alongside the men.
That brought to a close the fourth day of competition at the Games, with most of the action set among the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains.
Darya Domracheva gave her rivals no chance as she powered to victory in biathlon's 10-kilometer pursuit, becoming the first woman to win a Winter Olympic gold for Belarus.
Several skiers crashed out spectacularly, including Howell's compatriot Yuki Tsubota, who suffered a suspected broken jaw when falling heavily in the final.
Russia lingered in seventh position with a solitary gold, three silver and three bronze medals.
The hosts are desperate to improve on their woeful performance at the last Winter Olympics in Vancouver when just three gold medals left them ranked 11th.
Back in Sochi, Russian Olga Fatkulina came close to an upset in the 500 meters speed skating, but the overwhelming favorite and world record holder, South Korea's Lee Sang-hwa, retained her title and left an army of home supporters in the Adler Arena crestfallen.

Comments, questions and tips
I am always on the look out for an easy dessert, I can spend hours cooking starter s and mains but as I am not really a dessert person so this was a delight to make and so quick. I doused the cake with a little limoncello, before topping with the other ingredients and it went down really well at a family BBQ along with a pear and amaretti cheesecake. Will certainly make again.
Can't believe anyone doesn't like this! My favourite "cheat's pudding" and yes, everyone thinks I'm fibbing when I say how easy it is. Haven't had the meringue dissolving - I wonder whether people did smash the pieces up too finely? Usually love to spend ages making elaborate desserts but great to have something like this up my sleeve for the right occasion.
Brilliant, quick and easy make ahead pudding. I made this for a new years eve party as an alternative to heavier puds. Went down a treat. Everyone loved it and most had two helpings! I love the fact that you can make it the day before. Well worth a go. I am trying to work out how to make a smaller version for a more intimate dinner party.
It is very simple but maybe thats what makes it great!
I made this as a reccy for a dinner i'm holding for my in-laws and it was a great success! My husband thought it was great and that I must have spent ages in the kitchen!
Will definitely make this for my dinner and serve with a raspberry coulis or something similar.
I have made this on numerous occasions now.
I found 15 minutes is about the right time in the summer months.
However I occasionally take it from the freezer towards the end of the main meal and that works well too.
Everyone who has eaten it before - always asks for it when they come for a meal.
I have given this to many friends and family.
I will try and do it in a loaf tin as suggested for a change.
As we live in France - Lemon Curd is not sold here, I get it from UK.
I will try a variation as suggested.
Going to make this this weekend maybe as a St George's treat. I make a similar dessert taken from one of my back issues. its the mixed fruit meringue chill and this is a 5 rating dessert. Made in advance placed in the freezer and taken out before we sit for main meal and let to malt a little, so good served with a raspberry coulis.
This is a great, quick dessert to make when you haven't a lot of time. I served it at a dinner party and it went down very well! its so refreshing and light its perfect after a heavy main. I used mcvities lemon cake instead of madeira, highly recommended! The only snag i found, was the meringue dissolved in the cake, it still tasted delicious, and i will be making it again. Very good store cupboard dessert to have in your repertoire.

I purchased this for the foyer (entrance) of my home. I was concerned, based on the description that it would have a red or cherry-like finish. I was happy that it didn't. It is truly an espresso, dark brown-black color. The wood grain markings are very deep which will help to hide scratches and makes it look more expensive. The back is completely unfinished, so it must be placed in a location where it is backed by a wall (like in the picture). It is made of light-weight ply-board (similar to the quality of Ikea furniture). If guests are not going to touch this and you place quality decorative items on it, you can prevent it from looking cheap and disguise it as being more expensive. Overall I like it and will keep it.
This is an attractive piece and is a very good buy for the price. However I do want to make other buyers aware of some small caveats: It was very difficult to put together - the instructions actually tell you to have another person on hand, and to literally plan on blocking out an entire day, which struck me as odd considering it's a short depth, short length, simple side table. The instructions were right - almost - it did take two of us 2 hours to put together )and we're both pretty handy). It's expected, in a way, though - you're paying a very low price for a modular piece of furniture - the cost has to give on something...time is what it gives on. After a semi-frustrating process, it was ready to go. Albeit it was slightly lopsided (those predrilled holes are never quite right) but it's not noticeable really at all, and the table looks very smart and expensive once it's put together and adorned with a lamp and some decorative items. The color is espresso wood - dark with a low sheen - similar to the photo. While the piece did come with a few nicks in the finish (again, I'd be more upset if this were a $600 table), after a few strokes with a wood pen in the same color, you can't even tell. We've gotten remarks about how different and unique this table is, and how rich it looks. It's a VERY good purchase. You honestly could not do better with such a low/reasonablel price. The design and shape are extremely nice looking and the table is a great compliment to our home!!! You won't be disappointed with the final result!
This table makes my accent wall look AWESOME! It is exactly what I wanted. There are so many things you can do with it. Right now I have a candle set on top and I am looking to place a mirror above it like in the picture. It's very sturdy. The assembly was a little challenging. I suggest having two sets of hands because of the way it is shaped. :D
As always, fast shipping. I put it together by myself with no problems. Took less than an hour. I had everything I needed, no misaligned parts. I really have nothing bad to say about this piece. It is a solid piece of furniture and looks great too. It was a little taller than I expected so I didn't use it where I intended to but it is a very versatile piece and I easily found another spot for it. I actually made a wine rack out of it. I bought some of those metal hangers for the wine glasses and screwed them under the top piece. I found a small wooden wine holder/rack that matched perfectly from Goodwill and set it in the bottom and now I have a wine rack. It really looks cool. People think I bought it like that. Once again, I am pleased with my purchase from Overstock.com.
This is an excellent table. I ordered it and got it in 6 days. It was packed very good and there was no damage. It was easy to put together, only took about 30 minutes. I have it in my foyer and its the first thing you see when you enter my home.
This is the perfect dark brown color and matches my décor perfectly. My fiancé put it together fairly quickly and didn't have any issues at all. love this and so worth the price
This console table arrived without defects and was not too difficult to assemble. It looks really good in my office with a mirror over it and I have received many compliments.
Great product excellent packaging I will recommend this store for anybody out there.
Looks good kinda of easy to put together
Looks great in my room, great value.

Looking for Headphones?
Start shoppingVideo: Sennheiser RS 170 wireless headphones
The Sennheiser RS 170 wireless headphones deliver lossless CD-quality sound, and give you the freedom to move around while you're listening.
I had the opportunity recently to use the Sennheiser RS 170 wireless headphones. I like these headphones a lot, first because they were wireless. Gave me the freedom to get away from the stereo, go work in the kitchen, sit on the back deck, listen to a football game. I could ride my bike downstairs and even get up and go get a drink of water, all without having to worry about having a cord.
I really like the over the ear design of these headphones. It blocks out a lot of noise and they're also very comfortable because of that.
The sound quality is really quite good. And it's a CD quality stereo sound with very little of the hiss you sometimes get with wireless headphones. I heard all the details I'm used to listening to on all my classical records.
If you have questions about these headphones or any other headphones contact us through chat, email, or just give us a call.

Strasburg returns to close twin bill vs. Marlins
Flynn takes mound for Miami to wind down four-game set
Nationals manager Davey Johnson understands that his team's chances of making the playoffs are slim to none. However, he's seen stranger things happen.
"I mean, when a club, all they have to do is win five or so games," Johnson said. "It means it's pretty easy to do. So, that means we have to win out and hope somebody slips."
The Marlins and Nationals squared off in the opener of a split doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Nationals Park, with Tom Koehler and Co. besting Dan Haren and his 'mates, 4-2. The second game of the twin bill at 7:05 p.m. ET will showcase Marlins rookie Brian Flynn and Nats ace Stephen Strasburg.
Flynn takes the hill in the nightcap, ready to showcase his 93-plus-mph fastball in his fourth start since being a September callup.
"Obviously, we heard a lot of great things about him," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "Now we get a chance to see him and what he brings. I think this is great experience for him to come up and get some starts. Probably just as much for him to get to see what he needs to do to be successful in this league. Also for us to see what he can do, and to see where he fits going forward."
Still looking for his first career victory, Flynn allowed six runs on 11 hits in six innings for the loss on Tuesday against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
As for Strasburg (7-9, 2.96 ERA), he's spent plenty of time off the rubber, last pitching on Sept. 8. He was supposed to pitch last Friday but was scratched and pushed back to Thursday. That plan changed once again when Strasburg had trouble getting loose and felt continuing tightness on Wednesday.
The fireballer got the go-ahead for Sunday's start after completing his pregame throwing without any problems on Friday.
"He's our No. 1 pitcher. Anything that goes on with No. 1 pitchers, high-draft pick, No. 1, there's just a lot of interest," Johnson said. "Same thing with [Bryce] Harper. Anything happens to him, everybody analyzes it every which way. It's just part of it."
Marlins: Team making fundamental plays
While the Marlins may be in last place in the NL East, they have thrived in minimizing unearned runs.
Miami has yielded just 43 on the season, which is tied with the Rangers for the 10th fewest by any MLB team.
"It's fundamentals," Marlins infield coach Perry Hill said. "Making the routine plays, and being in the right position. That's it."
Nationals: Rendon improving at second base
Previously a third baseman, 23-year-old Anthony Rendon is making progress as a rookie second baseman for the Nationals.
He took over for an injured and ineffective Danny Espinosa earlier this season and has now started 77 games at second for the Nats.
"I think he's been great," first baseman Adam LaRoche said. "As a matter of fact, you forget that he wasn't always a second baseman, which I think is a really good sign. He just looks natural over there."
He's made nine errors there for a .974 fielding percentage, but FanGraphs.com's Ultimate Zone Rating has his contributions at 2.2 runs above average.
Worth noting
• Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has 56 RBIs in 72 games this season. Since coming off the disabled list on July 4, he's a team-best 25-for-72 (.347) with runners in scoring position.
• The Marlins have had 53 starts by rookie pitchers this season. Only the Brewers have had more games started by rookies with 58.

FYI: .375" = 3/8 inches. Most kids foam mats on the market come in the smaller (less desirable) 1/4 inch thickness. This one gives you an extra 1/8 inch = more durability and more padding for the kiddies' feet.

Alphabet mats seem neat on the surface, but my experience was with grime collecting at the seams (alphabet = a lot more places for grim to collect). And, when your kid learns to pull out the letters, it's all the more trouble for you to put the letters back, assuming you want the mats to perform their chief purpose (providing floor padding).
We bought these to make a play area on our tile floor. Our daughter is one and likes to deconstruct the mat. She even pops the smaller pieces out of the inside holes in the letters. It's a pain in the neck to clean up because the letters don't stay in the mat very well after being popped out a few times. My husband and I have had quite a few laughs about trying to find the piece that belongs in the A hole. She does love this set, but my cats do, too. Something about the texture screams scratching post to them. We've left the mat out for a day or so and come home to scratched off bits of mat strewn about the living room. This is a great playmat, but for us it's been more trouble than it's worth. Maybe we'll break it out again when our daughter is older and is learning letters.
$13 costco, no shipping charge.

Buyer beware!! We got mats very similar to this for our son. We eventually had to get rid of them because he kept pulling the letters out and, when he started teething, chewing on them. We ended up getting plain 2 foot foam squares which he didn't seem as interested in because he would have to pull up a much larger piece of foam.
Don't get this if you have cats. Me and any other parent I've talked to that owns cats says these are an absolute scratching (and eating the scratched off pieces, if your cat is into that) magnet. We had our similar non-alphabet version for about two weeks and even though we tried to keep it covered so it wasn't tempting, it was a mess and we threw the whole thing out.
We had one similar to this (also included numbers 0-9) when my now 5 year old was a baby. We used it on the hardwood floor in her bedroom. She loved taking it apart, putting it back together and just rolling around on it. Easy to clean when the unavoidable poop explosion happened. (We just threw the 'affected' tiles in the tub with hot water and bleach and a good scrubbing) No cats, just a 120 pound dog who LOVED to lay on it. We just used a lightweight vacuum (like a Stick-Vac) to clean it, which seemed to do a good job getting stuff out of all the grooves and cracks. Plus, the kid knew all her letters by 2, and reading by 4. I'm just saying....
Yeah I can't find anything like that on their site...
Toys R Us offers a set of 36 (A-Z, 0-9) for $24.99. We got 2 sets on sale (25% off) and covered our dining room (turned playroom). We love the mats! DD is learning to walk and has crashed to the floor several times (sometimes head first) and her fall is always cushioned. At 10 months she really has little interest in pulling it up to chew - she'd much rather play with all her other toys. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11773791 I don't think I'd spend $18 for this set when you can get 20% off TRU coupons everywhere bringing the 36 square set down to $20.
Does anyone know if these are the safe foam squares without carcinogens, including Formamide, Acetaphenone, 2 Phenyl 2 Propanol?
I've read both the negative and positive comments about the mat for indoor use. Has anyone used it outside?
I love this mat. Yes, my 2 year old pulls it up and it's a pain, but it's fine really. You can build little boxes too. I have lots the middle of the pieces but whatever. This is a great price. I have some similar foam for outside and it just fades. I wouldn't want water to get underneath it, but it would just be mucky and a bit slippery.

From the extensive research I've done, there are no safe EVA foam mats. Here's a site that has tested many different brands of mats. We decided to just use a thick wool rug with blankets for more padding. It's a bit more messy but we know we aren't exposing ourselves to unknown toxins.
Anyone by chance get an extra I and J square in their order? We were missing them out of one of our sets and we weren't sure if if was some sort of packages mistake or if woot is trying to simplify the English language.

Well, we didn't package them so we'll pass the blame on to the manufacturer. Be sure to email email@example.com for assistance. Include your Woot username and order number for faster service.
