text: Dec 10, 2012 00:42 Drivers identified in I-10 crash Drivers identified in I-10 crash Advocate staff report Dec. 10, 2012 Comments Updated at 10:15 a.m. — One man died in an accident Friday on Interstate 10 in Ascension Parish after a trailer detached from the truck pulling it and struck a pickup headed in the opposite direction, a State Police spokesman said. Trooper First Class Jared Sandifer identified the victim as David Hammer, 64, of League City, Texas. The crash occurred about 3:15 p.m. as 35-year-old Michael B. Munson, Donaldsonville, was driving a 2001 Ford F-350 west on I-10, west of La. 73 near the Bluff Road overpass, Sandifer said in a news release. Munson was pulling an empty utility trailer behind his truck when it came loose, crossed a median and struck Hammer's 1998 Ford F-150, which was headed east on I-10. The utility trailer crossed the median through an opening between the median cable barriers and a guardrail. Hammer was wearing a seat belt, but died in the wreck. Troopers do not suspect either driver of impairment but took toxicology samples for analysis. The accident came a day after traffic on I-10 East was halted for more than seven hours after an 18-wheeler ran off the road and flipped over near the Siegen Lane exit. The driver Tony Wells, 51, of Marrero, said another 18-wheeler tried to switch lanes into his lane, which caused him to swerve to avoid the other truck. Traffic was halted for about seven hours while tow trucks from Road-Runner Towing & Recovery of Baton Rouge tried to maneuver around concrete barriers and other obstacles to pull the big rig upright, then back onto the highway. Wells was cited for careless operation. Editor's note: This article was changed on Dec. 8, 2012, to make clear that the person who was killed was not pulling the utility trailer.

Only read the rest if you completly finished the "It's about Time" part. All the way to the credits.
If you are still reading you should know that Marty begins to dissapear like in Part 1. (Original Part 1(the movie)) And then it says that Marty goes back to 1931. I think it's because he gave the subpoena to his grandfather, so Kid Tannen kidnaps him or something and somehow makes Artie dissapear form existense. Or Judge Brown might think that Artie was a bad guy and make Artie dissapear from existence. But in the Synopis (http://www.telltalegames.com/bttf) it says that Kid might erase Jennifer fron the future. I'm not really sure how that happens. Maybe One of the gang members is her grandfather or her grandfather is another guy like Artie that gets pushed around by Kid. Say what you think will happen! :)
Edit: Alright, now we know Officer Parker is Jennifer's Grandpa, and Trixie Trotter is presumably the singer that dissapears. The Information was received by a Telltale email update thing.
Email as follows
"Following the blockbuster series premiere "It's About Time", the second episode of Back to the Future, "Get Tannen!" will be available for download on the PC and Mac this February. That means it's just a few short weeks until you can find out what happens in the second of five monthly chapters of Marty and Doc Brown's new adventure. You'll be able to get your first look at "Get Tannen!" in the official trailer, also coming soon.
We have a special treat for you, the faithful Interloper subscriber: We're pulling back the curtain on two of the characters that appear in "Get Tannen!", Officer Parker and Trixie Trotter. Officer Parker, Jennifer's granddad, is just a good cop caught up in a bad situation. On top of dealing with Kid Tannen and his goons, he also has a time-traveling duo causing him some problems. Trixie Trotter, on the other hand, is a small-town girl with big-city dreams. She may seem like just another mob moll, but she actually has aspirations for greatness.
What do you think is next for Doc and Marty? Speculate and discuss your theories in the comments of our "Get Tannen!" Predictions blog post and forum thread! Get on it butthead!"
We know that the singer dissapears because in one of the newspaper articles in Edna's house, it says a singer dissapears. Keep looking for clues! :D

A bone graft is surgery to place new bone or bone substitutes into spaces around a broken bone or bone defects.
Autograft; Allograft
A bone graft can be taken from the patient's own healthy bone (this is called an autograft) or from frozen, donated bone (allograft). In some cases, a man-made (synthetic) bone substitute is used.
A surgeon makes a cut over the bone defect. The bone graft is shaped and inserted into and around the area. The bone graft is held in place with pins, plates, or screws. Stitches are used to close the wound. A splint or cast is usually used to prevent injury or movement while healing.
Bone grafts are used to:
The risks for any anesthesia include:
The risks for this surgery include:
Recovery time depends on the injury or defect being treated and the size of the bone graft. Your recovery may take 2 weeks to 3 months. The bone graft itself will take up to 3 months or longer to heal.
Vigorous exercise may be restricted for up to 6 months.
You will need to keep the bone graft area clean and dry. Your doctor will give you instructions about showering.
Do not smoke. Smoking slows down or prevents bone healing. If you smoke, it is more likely to graft will fail.
Most bone grafts help the bone defect to heal with little risk of graft rejection.

The whole food specialists at The Pet Health and Nutrition Center have formulated Daily Multi with Joint Support; the ultimate, all-natural, 4-supplements-in-1 product to support the special nutritional requirements of your canine or feline. By providing just this one nutritional supplement for your dog or cat you will be supplying the most important nutrients required by your pet for vitality and longevity.
Daily Multi with Joint Support is made with organic, whole food ingredients. Even better, it is formulated without chemical fillers like magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and stearic acid. If you are a discerning pet parent and have been looking for just this type of supplement then you don't have to look any further...
Daily Multi with Joint Support includes four important supplements in one product. Starting with our industry leading Enzyme and Probiotic Formula that helps dogs and cats digest their meals quickly and efficiently to take stress off digestive organs, like the pancreas, and help obtain as much nutrition from meals as possible to support their body's maintenance and repair needs. Next, this formula includes a special blend of 15 New Zealand glandulars to provide nutrients missing from the majority of our domestic animal's diet, but are so important to the nutritional needs of wild canines and felines. Our USA sourced Elk Velvet Antler contains all the joint nutrients your dog needs in a natural, whole food form plus growth factors that can be so beneficial for active pets. Last, but not least, Organic, Whole Foods are included to provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients that can't be found in the average pet food or supplement relying on synthetic substitutes.
1). A Top-of-the-Line Digestive Formula
Daily Multi with Joint Support includes our best selling digestive enzyme formula that features 13 specialized enzymes, 5 billion cfu per gram of 13 species of probiotics and a whole food prebiotic blend. No other digestive formula for dogs and cats even comes close to the effectiveness of this blend! It has positively influenced the lives of animals all over the country and we are very proud of it as a result. To learn more you can visit the Digestive Enzyme and Probiotic product page.
2). New Zealand Glandulars
We have used glandulars very effectively for numerous health challenges experienced by clients such as hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, kidney and liver issues and much more. They work by providing tissue that contains enzymes and nutrients similar to the matching organs and glands in your pet's body. This helps support the health of these systems and provides extra nutrition to help support weak or imbalanced glands. Wild canines and felines depend on the organs and glands of their prey to meet their nutritional needs and without them they would surely suffer from effects of malnutrition. This formula contains 15 important glandulars that are obtained from grass fed, New Zealand animals and are freeze dried to protect the vital nutrients.
3). Elk Velvet Antler
Our USA sourced Elk Velvet Antler contains all the joint nutrients your dog needs in a natural, whole food form. Nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, collagen, essential fatty acids, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium are all vital for growth and maintenance of joints, tissues and synovial fluids. Of special interest to active pets, elk velvet antler also contains special growth factors that can increase lean muscle and help injuries heal faster.
4). Organic, Whole Food Nutrients
We are whole food specialists and proponents. You just can't replace the nutrients obtained from organic, whole foods with synthetic, isolated vitamin and mineral substitutes from China. Yet, synthetic substitutes are what are primarily found in pet foods and supplements today. The reason is obvious to most - they are cheap and have long shelf lives. Our Daily Multi with Joint Support may cost a little more, but it is a world apart from the typical pet supplement and will provide the nutrition so important to the healthy aging and longevity of your animal companion. Some of our organic ingredients include...
Ginkgo Biloba - This herb has special benefits for helping to keep the brain and blood vessels healthy.
Hawthorn Berries - For a healthy, strong cardiovascular system.
Astragalus Root - Acts as an adaptogen to help your dog's body cope with stress and maintain peak immune system function to reduce illness.
Barley Grass Juice Powder - A rich source of blood building chlorophyll. Also contains a wide variety of nutrients that include SOD, a powerful antioxidant enzyme.
What we don't use...
You may notice that our formula does not include less expensive ingredients like kelp and ground flax seed. There are important reasons for this. One is that too much kelp can effect the health of the thyroid gland and should not be consumed every day. And, since our oceans are so polluted, kelp can be very high in heavy metal contaminates like mercury. Concerning ground flax seed, the oils found in this ingredient are very delicate and after they are ground go rancid very quickly when exposed to oxygen. So, when you see this ingredient you can be fairly confident that the oils are rancid and when that is the case they become carcinogens when consumed. Both of these are inexpensive ingredients used quite often in the pet supplement market, just not by us.

Jordan Zimmermann faces Ryan Dempster in the rubber game at Wrigley Field.
CHICAGO — Jordan Zimmermann makes his 23rd start of the season, and if you have the ability to tune in for this Thursday matinee, you might want to catch a glimpse because there won't be many more opportunities to watch the right-hander in action. Zimmermann's innings count sits at 138 1/3, so he's got only three or four more starts before the Nationals shut him down.
Zimmermann will need to both pitch well and hope for some run support if he wants to get his record over the .500 mark (he enters today 7-9 despite a sparkling 3.12 ERA). The Nationals have begun hitting the ball better in recent weeks, though last night were pretty much shut down by Rodrigo Lopez and three Cubs relievers.
One potential bright spot: Danny Espinosa dropped a perfect bunt single in the eighth inning, perhaps the kind of thing that can help get him going again after struggling through a prolonged slump. Davey Johnson said this morning he had talked to Espinosa about bunting more and believes it can be a big weapon for him. We'll see what effect it may have.
It's another gorgeous day at Wrigley Field. If you can't watch on TV or listen on the radio, check back here for plenty of updates…

There IS a double header today, right? The Nationals' Web page refers to this game (Zimm pitching) as the series finale. I hope the Nats show up for the second game, even if their Webmaster doesn't.

fpcsteve said… Nats Jack, I saw Detwiler for the first time last night. What's your take on his stuff? And to what degree is he a nibbler? I had that impression at times last night. Steve M., you, too, if you'd like. August 11, 2011 1:23 PM I thought Detwiler pitched OK. If he got run support, he would have won the game. Detwiler's velocity was down which we have seen in the past when he is the starter, and he wasn't getting that inside corner on the RH batters which he needs. The problem is his arm strength to go deep into games and change up his repitoire 2nd time through the order. My opinion hasn't changed since Opening Day. He is a very good talent but starting is not where he will excel. If I thought he could be a #3 then go for it but to be a #5 AAAA type, the Nats don't need that if he can be a Top 3 lefty relief pitcher in the whole league in the Venters mold. Venters was an All Star this year at 26 (He and Ross are almost exactly 1 year apart in age). Not too shabby and Venters toiled for much too long in the Minors as a starter type early on. Last year was Venters 1st full year. And yes, Jonny with no "H".What I would do with Clippard and Detwiler is alternate them for the 7th and 8th which Atlanta doesn't do with Venters and O'Flaherty as they are both Leftys.Think about it. you have 3 righties for the 7th, bring in Clippard if that will be followed by Lefties. Its not exact science as we know as innings don't always line up but I truly believe the Nats are a PLAYOFF team next year with Coco Crisp and Buehrle added to this team.And talking about Mock, I fully expect him to be given the chance in Spring Training to be a Todd Coffey type. He is Rizzo's boy.
- NatStat - Aug 11, 2011 at 5:55 PM
Not sure why the Nats hitters couldn't do more damage with Lopez on the mound last night. He is as you bloged Mark, "a retread". The Cubs BP is pretty good, so it was too late to get the game started with those guys.Espi has had only one HR since the ASG! Not sure how bunting will restart his power game!
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 5:55 PM

GYFNGOGOGO!!!!!!!I always seem make the long post (the one I'd really like feedback, from wiser heads than mine), at the end of posts, as they get abandoned. So, from 1/2 hour ago:GYFNGOGOGO!!!!!I seem to always make the long post (the one I'd love to hear some feedback from wiser heads than mine), at the end of threads, where nobody will likely go back and see. So… From 1/2 hour ago: Unkyd said…A DC Wonk said…Unkyd said…Zim at 1B makes no sense to me.Why not? (After all, isn't the only flaw Zim has is his sometimes unreliable throwing).Ernie Banks made that transition (from SS to 1b) pretty well! (although, at age 31)…………………………………Just seems like wasting resources, to me. We seem to be knee-deep in good 1st basemen. If what we've seen from the Gorse Hacker, this year, is what're get for the next 5 years, then Zim represents no upgrade, whatsoever. LaRoche, Marerro….. We're at least 2 years away from being comfortable enough with Rendon to call him a fit replacement for Zim. Seriously….? I'd trade Zim , before I'd shake up whats turning out to be a respectable line-up to that degree…If RZ gets extended, this winter, give Rendon that big ol' outfielders glove, and give him a whole year to see if it's a easy transition for him…should'nt be too hard to bring him back to the infield, in fall/winter ball, if he doesn't have the aptitude. See, I think that the offensive lineup might be pretty well set, if Rendon can play in the outfield, come '13. If Desi doesn't shake out, as startingSS, you have Lombo (let's see that cup of coffee, please!), with Bernie and Desi, off the bench. Yep, making some assumptions here, but none of it seems far-fetched, to me, and by the end of next year, it should have, for the most part, played out. If I'm close, the only thing to worry about next winter, would be choosing from the bumper crop of FA pitchers…A fella can dream…. No?…………

In addition, let's score some runs. (I won't be online during TMOTTB, so I'm submitting that comment now. Also, it goes without saying — although I guess I did just say it — that the imperative should apply to the Nats, not the Cubs, today, and that they should feel free to score some runs in earlier innings should they be so inclined. Whew. I think that's all.)(And, Unk, I believe that there's no limit on the number of GYFNGs permitted.)Sec 3, My Sofa said… Let's go! Batter up! We're taking the afternoon off!

Mark Z – Game seems to be on MASN 2
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:13 PM
Did you hear FP talking about JZim, solid #2, borderline #1. I would tell FP that if he stays away from W/L and looks at Sabre #'s like ERC (Component ERA) JZim is #5 in the whole NL and is straight up #12 in ERA and #7 in WHIP.That is #1 type of numbers FP. Like Michael Morse, way under the radar.Remember, there are 16 teams in the NL, so if you have those rankings, you are #1 for quite a few of those teams. The Phillies have Hamels, Halladay and Cliff Lee who are all Top 10 pitchers and Halladay is considered #1 and they are all on 1 team and the Giants have Lincecum, Cain and Vogelsong who are all Top 15 pitchers and on 1 team.So if Jordan Zimmermann keeps up these numbers and is still a #2 behind Strasburg, that is great news because that would mean Strasburg is doing even better.

Brutal call by Carpy on the Zimmerman homer. Lost count of the streak – hopefully didn't jinx him!
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:40 PM
2:32 p.m. — And Ryan Zimmerman extends his hitting streak to 19 games in style: By parking a 2-1 pitch from Dempster onto Waveland Ave. That's three straight days in which Zim has kept his hit streak alive in the first inning. Very reminiscent of his 30-game run in 2009, when he seemed to smoke the ball in the first inning every single night. Nats take an early 1-0 lead.Mark, lets all hope you write this same thing the next 3+ weeks.
- LoveDaNats - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:44 PM
@ josh fAre you kidding? I have a hole in my coffee table from knocking on wood whenever Carp talks!
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:45 PM
Dempster threw 25 pitches in the 1st compared to 14 by Jordan Zimmermann.Nats need 4 more innings like that to get rid of Dempster early.
- Sec314 - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:52 PM
Here's how to get Espi hitting… drop him back down to #6 in the Order. Drop Desmond to Syracuse and bring up Lombardozzi to hit Second and play Second.and to mirror that, move Espinosa to the 6 position– Shortstop
- Scott from Burke - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:55 PM
I believe Jordan Zim will win more games in his career than Stras..even though both have had TJ surgery I think Stras will be bothered by injuries his entire career..I like Zim's mecahnics…he is super
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:56 PM
Sec314, I would move Werth down to #2 and Nix to #5 and Espi back to #6.
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 6:59 PM
Scott from Burke, I think Stras will be fine for many years while in a Nationals uniform. His mechanics may catch up with him when he gets older or he can make adjustments. Jordan Zimmermann won't win much if he only gets a couple of runs of offense while he is in the game.
- kgwcoach - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:01 PM
Sec314Any line up that takes Espi out of 2B makes the defense weaker IMO. I don't believe people realize just what Espi has done there. He has made more game saving plays there than he would have had opprotunities to do so at SS.
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:01 PM
Anonymous said… Glad to see Danny used the bunt to get on. Where has that been? August 10, 2011 10:24 PM For those watching the game, Debbi Taylor just said that Rizzo told Espi 3 games ago that he wanted to see him bunt more.
- Anonymous - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:02 PM

- Davey, really? - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:03 PM
Why the &*(% are you attempting a steal with Zimmerman up who had just hit a HR the at-bat before.
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:05 PM
Anon, Sabre says to bat him there based on on-base and speed.Espi isn't getting on much and then gets a bad jump and caught stealing like Nyjer used to do.
- Scott from Burke - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:07 PM
Trying to get in scoring position..it is frustrating to watch him get thrown out, yes, but when since he's been slumping a bit he might feel more pressure to try and do something for the team. So what happens now after getting thrown out? Yep, More pressure.

Mark Zuckerman said…3:33 p.m. — And the Cubs tie it up in the bottom of the fourth after Soriano triples off Werth's outstretched glove in right-center field. Tough play for Werth, but not a totally impossible play to make, either.You know Mark, when you play behind an Ace you have to make those plays. This team scores next to nothing while Jordan is "in" the game so every run is a premium.
- RPrecupjr - Aug 11, 2011 at 7:57 PM
Steve, because he's 35 years old and a lifetime 270 hitter with 59 HR and 349 RBIs in nine years. The Cubs have Colvin that they're grooming for the right field spot, which is also why they traded Fukudome.

RPrecupjr said… Just saw the video of Werth's notcatch….that was definitely a catchable ball, especially after the ball he ran down in almost the same spot last night August 11, 2011 3:51 PM The offense doesn't score much for Jordan and the defense doesn't do the spectacular except for Bernadina stealing a HR in Chisox, I can't think of too many highlight reel plays. Then you got that popup to CF that Bernadina lost in the sun that cost him 2 and a few other defensive misplays plus the relievers blowing up his innings which is why some of the Sabre stats look more at WHIP stats to give a Component ERA (ERC) which seems to neutralize a lousy bullpen a little more which is why JZim is #5 overall of all NL pitchers.

Danny doing his best Nyjer 2010 imitation when he was rarely getting on base. When he got on base, he got caught stealing.Seriously, what is going on here?
- Mark'd - Aug 11, 2011 at 8:10 PM
0' Danny boy, what were you thinking? If you don't get a good jump, don't go for it. That was Nyjer-like.
- RPrecupjr - Aug 11, 2011 at 8:11 PM
If Danny is doing this on his own, i.e. not signs from Porter, he needs to be sat down and told that when the guy behind you has a 19-game hitting streak, you DO NOT try to steal unless you see the catcher's arm fall off. And if you do try and get caught you sure as &^%*&^% DO NOT TRY IT AGAIN.Can you tell I'm a little peeved about this? And yes, Steve, it reminds me exactly of Nyjer last year, but without the attitude problem. But come on, Danny…your job is to get on and let the big guns bring you in. I know we only have two of them right now, but let them do their job. I don't want us to challenge the record that the Giants just tied…..19 consecutive SOLO homers. We have enough trouble getting guys in when they get on with you taking yourself out of the equation.

I don't care if Morse's HBP was intentional or not. He's been our best hitter all year. We should have nailed one their guys in the 7th. I know the game was tied so I understand not hitting the first guy up, but after the homer made it 3-1 the next guy should have been nailed.

Impressive Kerry Wood. 97MPH on his strikeout of Zim.
- RPrecupjr - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:07 PM
Ok, NatsJack:Without June (and today), Zim's stats would be:4-8, 4.13 ERA, 79K in 96 IP, WHIP 1.16And it hasn't been quite a month yet for Espi. He homered and drove in three runs on July 17th and hasn't had either since then.Ouch.
- Steve M. - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:08 PM
Espinosa's last RBIs and HR was in the same game on July 17th. That is an RBI drought for a guy with as many chances as he has had.
- A DC Wonk - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:08 PM
PAY TO PLAY said… Wasn't Kerry Wood once a starter?Oh my — he sure was. He broke in at age 21, led the league in K/IP, and won rookie of the year. In his fifth career start he threw a one-hit, no walk, 20-strikeout shutout.Then, hurt arm — he couldn't finish the season. Then TJ surgery caused him to miss the entire next year. The following year (at age 23) he was mediocre — but starting at age 24 he became a solid pitcher again. A couple of great years, injuries, and at age 30 was converted to a reliever.
- PAY TO PLAY - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:12 PM
Without June (and today), Zim's stats would be:4-8, 4.13 ERA, 79K in 96 IP, WHIP 1.16@Not sure why you would take out June. If you take out April and July he is the best pitcher in the Majors.
- Scott from Burke - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:13 PM
When Kerry Wood broke in it was VERY exciting..like Strasburg..big corn fed kid throowing gas..and that 20K game was insane…too bad about the injuries..not a Cubs fan but I loved watching him
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:14 PM

Bring up the Chiefs:Steve Lombardozzi's two-run single highlighted a five-run 6th as the Syracuse Chiefs took their third straight against Buffalo, 6-1. Craig Stammen got with win with seven solid innings, allowing one run on six hits and three walks and six strikeouts. Lee Hyde and Zech Zinicola both turned in a scoreless inning of relief to seal the deal. Roger Bernadina and Lombaradozzi both had three hits in an 11-hit attack
- Davey, Really? - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:18 PM
What in the world was Nix swinging at on the 1st pitch? Needs to read his scouting report. Laid off of that same pitch on pitch #3. Should have been 4-0. Luckily walked on pitch #5

yep that is curious. Why Ryan out?NatsJack, in 102 innings, JZ has allowed 48 ER for 4.23 ERA. That's the only thing I could calculate. Don't know about other stats. But in 6 June starts, he faced off against AZ, SF, SD, CW, LA, Os.I know Danny is struggling a lot right now, but when I think about last season's 2B choices, I am very happy to have him. I am sure he will work out of his slump soon.

Charlie and Dave: Ryan out because he is the last batter, his turn would not come up unless the Nats have a big inning. Very short on position players, wanted to leave Bix in. WHY????? Desi, why swing, this guy is not getting it over?

- jd - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:29 PM
Marmol tried to give this game away. Explain to me why Desmond swung at a 2-0 pitch after Marmol just walked Nix to load the bases.
- SCNatsFan - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:30 PM
This team will go nowhere as long as we have players like Desmond and Bixler putting up ABs like that. They should be ashamed. Bixler now career with the bases loaded 0-5 with 4 strikeouts. Either these guys learn how to hit or give up on them. I've been a proponent of keeping Desi at SS but I'm done hoping he learn something; he either doesn't have the talent or doesn't have the brain, either way he will lead us to more losses then victories.
- FS - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:31 PM
Wouldn't squeeze be a better play with speedy guy on third and speedy hitter at plate? or did Quade plan against it? or Bixie does not know how to bunt properly? or Werth is not that good of a runner?Embarrassing loss! 3-4 on the road trip now. Next up the Phillies and Hamels-Oswalt-Halladay. Lee got lucky?
- jd - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:32 PM
Steve M. Desmond, Bixler and Ankiel have to be muzzled by the coaching stuff. They can't go out there hacking when the pitcher is begging to give the game away.
- ehay2k - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:34 PM
Is it the hitting coach's job to prep the players before they go out to hit? if so PLEASE FIRE Eckstein. Marmol could NOT throw a strike, and we swung at EVERY DAMN PITCH. I am SO MAD right now. If Bixler or Ian "Swing Away" Desmond had just stood there, we would be winning the game.The hitting coach needs to be watching the game, not reading his damn stat book. It was SOOOO obvious Marmol had control problems, but no one seemed to change their approach. FIRE THE HITTING COACH
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:35 PM
jd, I asked the same question at 5:20 BEFORE we lost the game. Why, Desi, Why??? Why did JZimm blow his cool? Why???? Oh, turtles!!!Bix knows how to bunt, I've seen him do it. Not sure why a bunt wasn't called for with his speed. Werth is an EXCELLENT runner, the smartest guy on the basepaths you will ever see– Davey ASLEEP at the switch. I dunno. This whole game is a MYSTERY to me!!!

Why on earth did Nixler not take the hit by pitch, he could have move a little and still be hit. we always said take one for the team. There is a chance and moves, then swings at two balls the next two pitches. Why is he here and Roger isn;'t
- jd - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:38 PM
And that's why Ian Desmond should not be an every day major league player. No thought to the game situation whatsoever.

Someone needs to ask Davey if he put the stop sign on Desmond after Marmol had thrown 6 consecutive balls out of the zone. If he didn't, then this is really on him as much as Desmond. That one swing literally turned that inning around for the Cubs. If he just holds the bat on his shoulder, it's 3-0, bases loaded, no one out.

Like it or not, That's what you get with a 60M payroll, no international signings and apart from No 1 picks a very low rate of good prospects. The player can say whatever they want, they know they're out of it and they play likewise.
- FS - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:42 PM
maybe I am just becoming the victim of anti-Desi talk around these parts, but I am starting to believe that Desi is not baseball-smart when at the plate after seeing at bats like these.
- FS - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:46 PM
it was not his turn josh f. if I am not mistaken, it would have been a pitcher at that spot instead of Bixler. Either way it did not make a difference.
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:46 PM
Was watching on gameday, so didn't see the (possible) HBP, but Bix would take one for the team if he could, he is pretty fearless. How close was it, maybe he didn't think of it? If someone could teach Bix to hit you would have something there. He's fast and flexible, but he can't hit, and that is a problem.I know we have a short bench, but how long is that going to last? Can't we sent Ballester down and bring Bernie up, surely the time limit has elapsed???
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:47 PM

- mick - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:48 PM
I'm already sick of Davey Johnson's coaching. Bases loaded, zero outs, facing a pitcher who is behind 2-0 on the count and just threw his 7th consecutive ball, who the hell has a 220 hitting no confident, low baseball IQ player in Ian Desmond swinging? This team will remain mediocre until they get a manager who does not lose games for the team. Davey has lost at least 5 games for the Nats with inept decisions that Riggs never would have made. His time is way past and its a shame that Riggs could not have worked this out. I really think Nats would be 5-6 over the 500 mark today with Riggs. Way to go Rizzo and thanks for another crappy season.
- CAnada's #1 Nats Fan - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:48 PM
That has to be one of the most frustrating ends to a game I've ever seen. We definitely have the most polite team in MLB. The other team tries to gift us win and we say "Oh no, I couldn't possibly accept, much too generous". Desmond, Ramos and Bixler all looked like they were shaking in their cleats when it was Marmol who was in all the trouble. Unbelievable!
- natsfan1a - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:49 PM
Haven't read the game thread yet but a couple of those at-bats with the bases juiced in the top of the 9th were…well, they were just…um…dang… (and you know who you are ;-)).
- mick - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:51 PM
The late John McGraw would have booted Bixler is his rear end, however, again, why does Davey have a 196 hitter up, hello????
- JaneB - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:51 PM
Oh Michael.
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 9:54 PM
Bixler was up because Davey took Cora out for a lefty/righty matchup, when Cora was ready to pinch hit, THAT'S why. Davey, hello, you DO NOT have the bench to do that. Just let Cora stay in, he is a veteran, he can hit. And even if he doesn't hit, he is in the game and YOU CAN LEAVE RZIMM in the game!!
- Mick - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:00 PM
Your right exactly, NatsLady I should have added that in my post. The point is, I really do not believe Davey can coach like he did 15 years ago. He is a great guy and a Hall of Famer, but his time has passed.
- josh f - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:03 PM
Games like these remind me that we've got a close-to-.500 team right now, but we're not there yet. Good teams — and good players — find a way in that situation. Harper and Rendon are coming…
- Manassas Nats Fan - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:03 PM
The double switch was idiotic.The ball that nearly hit Bixler was more at him than the one that hit Morse. You take it and tie the score. That is high baseball IQ. No he jumps out of the way, makes the count 2-1. then swings at one 6 inches outside, and then another one 2 feet outside. I quit talking the last three weeks as I was on vacation, and was trying to get off Eck's case, but the mentality of the hitters, their baseball IQ whatever you want to call it is low, and when it is low, it is up the coach to coach it up, and it isn't being done. To this day I am not sure why ECK has been here this whole year. I know if I got the results from my job that he has gotten from his I would be canned in a heartbeat.
- ehay2k - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:03 PM
DC Wonk, I just re-watched the last loser hitters and those pitches were NOT strikes. Here is the sequence:Bases loaded, 0 outs Desmond at bat:Pitch 1, low and inside. Ball 1Pitch 2, Low, ball 2Pitch 3, Close, but Low and outside, and Marmol is not going to get that call the way he has been pitching, but desi gives him a swinging strike 1 (should be ball 3)Pitch 4, 83 Mph curve down the middel that Desi was late on. Strike 2 (the only legit strkie)Pitch 5, Inside pitch, should be Ball 4, but Desi fouls it off WITHOUT REALIZING IT!!!! REALLY?Pitch 6, high and inside, Desi fouled it off.Pitch 7, almost in the dirt, but Deis gives Marmol Strike 3 Should have walked. Marmol would have implodedRamos up, 1 out, bases loaded. Gets a hack hit and drives in a run but there was only 1 legitimate strike in that at bat.Bases loaded, Nats down by 1, 1 out.Bixler batting.Pitch 1, inside, called strike 1Pitch 2, Low and inside, almost hit him, Ball 1Pitch 3, Outside pitch, swinging strike 2Pitch 4, 2 feet outside, swinging strike 3Bases loaded, 2 outsAnkiel battingPitch 1, low and outside. Ball 1Pitch 2, Low and outside, Ball2(Why at this point you would swing is BEYOND me)Pitch 3, Curve down the middle, fouled off strike 1 Pitch 4,Curve low and outside, flyout to left.Game over.Not a lot of strikes there that we did not give to Marmol. I wish this were the first time e'd done this, but it's not. WE HAVE NO PLAN AT THE PLATE. This is not the first week after spring training. It's not even the first time we've seen Marmol. THERE IS NO EXCUSE> 24 year-olds not listening to him? THAT'S HIS FAULT!!!FIRE THE HITTING COACH and hire someone who is effective.
- David - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Bixler is not a major league ball player and should never be used except as a pinch runner or a defensive replacement. Livo would have done a better job at the plate.Desmond may have the talent to be a ML ballplayer but he does not understand the game of baseball and he probably never will. Bixler should have gotten Eddie Gaedel marching orders to not swing at any pitch and if he did a sharp shooter on the roof would take him out.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Aug 11, 2011 at 10:12 PM
ehay2k I have been seeing this same sequence for over 250 games. They do go to the plate with no clear plan. I am not sure what the hitting coach does, but he sure doesn't talk during the game to them, and that is pathetic. I coach my students all through out the lesson to make sure we are on the same game plan. Eck works them some before, that isn't any good, work during the game. Je just writes in his useless notebook.

Steve M. said… Why isn't Bixler in there to run and play LF and move Nix to 1st? Speeed, Davey. August 11, 2011 4:17 PMSteveM, you pointed out the biggest difference possibly and we will never know. The bench was short a player so you insert Bixler for Morse. The next few pitches Nix hits into a double play. You save Gomes for a key pinch hit later in the game.Time to send Balester back as you can't afford a 8 man bullpen and get a LH batter back here.

Wow — the Nats fight back from down 4-1, come close, and all we have here is bitterness about it.Folks — fangraphs has it: when a team is down 4-3 in the ninth, with bases loaded and nobody out — that team still loses over 50% of the time. Given that the Nats are a sub-par hitting team, probably even more so.They didn't roll over. They fought back. They lost by one.

- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 11:01 PM
Wonk, it's not bitterness (at least on my part), it's frustration!! If we had lost by 4-1 it would have been yada, yada, the usual. OK, stats are s, but you play the games. Stats said we had .001 chance to win that game in Seattle, but we did. It was so close and SO possible to win this game. That's what you are hearing. Yes, they fought back, but then the stupid "little" things made fighting back not enough. You have to fight, but you also have to be SMART, that includes players, manager, and coaches.
- SCNatsFan - Aug 11, 2011 at 11:07 PM
DC Wonk, my frustration isn't with losing, its with Desmond, who is supposed to be a vital part of our future but just doesn't learn. He and Espinosa think they are in home run derby every at bat and it scares me to think that Eck has done little to show them the folly of their way.I know chicks dig the long ball but when the best we can say about Desmond is he sure is fouling off alot of balls before he strikes out then that isn't good. I'd love to see him become the player we all hope he will but I also hope my home returns to its former value soon too… and we know how that is going!
- Mark'd - Aug 11, 2011 at 11:15 PM
I would had Bixler getting into Marmols head. Setup like a bunt. Marmol is a head case. He was like a boxer on the ropes and they let him off.
- Drew8 - Aug 11, 2011 at 11:26 PM
The good news is that on Monday night Anthony Rendon is no longer theoretical.Yes, he will start out at third base until Zim re-ups, but sooner or later Desmond will be the odd man out.
- NatsLady - Aug 11, 2011 at 11:36 PM

Getting the right speakers to fit your car doesn't have to be confusing, thanks to Crutchfield's extensive research and database.
Getting the right speakers to fit your car doesn't have to be confusing, thanks to Crutchfield's extensive research and database.
With so many speakers to choose from, it's important to know what to look for. Keep these points in mind, you'll be able to choose the perfect speakers for your car audio system.
When you're shopping for speakers, don't forget the tweeter. Tweeters reproduce the upper frequencies in your music they're what makes your highs sparkle and come to life so they're vital for proper soundstaging and stereo separation.
Factory speakers are not built to last, so over time they'll deteriorate to the point where they sound truly awful. We set up a blind listening test in our Labs and invited some of our most critical listeners to drop by and see if they could tell a difference in the sound.
Factory speakers usually sound fine when they're new, but they deteriorate over time. We compared speakers of different ages to see how badly they fared.
If you want your music to sound great, you can't ignore your car's speakers. Dollar for dollar, new speakers are one of the best ways to improve your car's sound.
Factory speakers are the bane of every music lover's existence. They're just not built to withstand the conditions inside your car over time. Fortunately, we carry all kinds of aftermarket speakers that are built to survive - and thrive - in these harsh conditions.
Installing tweeters in your factory tweeter locations, or custom-mounting them on the upper part of your doors, will give you better stereo imaging and raise the soundstage to your ears. You'll hear better placement of instruments in recordings, and you'll enjoy more depth of sound. And they might not be as difficult to install as you may think.
Component speaker systems are the best way to get high-quality sound in your vehicle. You'll find a wide variety of systems available, so choosing a set can be a bit daunting. But if you keep a few key points in mind, you'll make a smart choice.
This brief video will introduce you to the basics of do-it-yourself car speaker installation.
Your factory speakers might not look this bad, but they probably don't sound that great. New speakers will really improve your in-car audio. My brother-in-law knew that his...
Replacing your vehicle's factory speakers is usually one of the easiest ways to dramatically improve your car stereo's sound quality. In this short video, Crutchfield experts discuss how and why to change your factory speakers.
Installing new speakers is the single most cost-effective improvement you can make to your vehicle's audio system. Aftermarket speakers are relatively inexpensive and they're usually not that hard to install. Here are a few general tips on how to do the job yourself.
Properly tweaked, your car or truck can be a fantastic place to listen to music. But in order to achieve that level of enjoyment, you need to compensate for some of its natural limitations. Achieving great imaging is a matter of understanding your components, and how they interact with your vehicle and the people sitting in it.
What kind of a difference do new car speakers really make? How difficult will my new speakers be to install? Will my factory radio power aftermarket speakers? Those, and other common questions, are answered in our FAQ.
Crutchfield's illustrated guide to installing full-range car speakers looks at the basic tools and techniques you'll need to replace your car's factory speakers.
We wanted to answer the most basic question about car audio: is it really worth it to upgrade? With the help of the Crutchfield Labs, we set out to prove just how much better music sounds when it's played through a high-quality aftermarket system.
There's a reason you should replace your factory speakers if you want good sound in your car. In this video, we'll show you why factory-installed speakers usually deliver sub-par sound.
A helpful guide to the technical specifications and terminology you'll see when you're shopping for car speakers.

Over the past 55 years, many important studies on the enzymology, genetics and metabolic role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) (also known as PEPCK) have graced the pages of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Whether it's the original trilogy of articles from 1954 by Merton F. Utter describing the purification and preliminary characterization of the mitochondrial form of PEPCK (then referred to as oxalacetic carboxylase) or Richard W. Hanson's widely read 2007 article detailing the metabolic effects of overexpressing the cytosolic form of PEPCK in mouse skeletal muscle, JBC always has published cutting-edge research on the important enzyme.
Perhaps fittingly, then, the journal has decided to mark the 55th anniversary of the publication of Utter's articles with a special PEPCK compendium that combines both research and review articles.
On the research side, the collection features the seminal article by Utter and Kiyoshi Kurahashi describing the purified enzyme, along with 10 other articles that have appeared in the JBC in the past decade.
The recent articles cover a variety of biological areas, including the regulation of PEPCK transcription by factors such as glucocorticoids, functional insights gained from recent structural analysis and the evolving story of the enzyme's metabolic role in vertebrates.
The compendium also contains three minireview articles published in the JBC in October. The first, by Gerald M. Carlson and Todd Holyoak, provides insight into the reaction mechanism of PEPCK. Despite the efforts of many dedicated researchers, the mechanism of PEPCK has remained elusive over the years, but recent high-resolution structures of the enzyme from a variety of organisms have revealed details about the reaction's reversibility and nucleotide specificity.
That new information has clarified the metabolic role of PEPCK, a topic covered in the second minireview by Jianqi Yang, Satish C. Kalhan and Hanson. Rather than being involved exclusively in gluconeogenesis as originally thought, PEPCK plays a broader role in cataplerosis, the process of removing anions from the citric acid cycle. Thus, PEPCK has a role in four metabolic pathways: gluconeogenesis, glyceroneogenesis, serine synthesis and the conversion of amino acid carbon skeletons to pyruvate for subsequent oxidation in the citric acid cycle.
The third minireview, by Jianqi Yang, Lea Reshef, Hanoch Cassuto, Gabriela Aleman and Hanson, discusses transcription control of the gene for the cytosolic form of PEPCK. The authors note the emerging importance of histone modification as a key regulator of tissue-specific PEPCK-C transcription and also highlight the insights that may be gained from a critical analysis of the PEPCK-C gene promoter across an evolutionary range of species.
This PEPCK series is great! It brings lots of happy memories of PEPCK during my association with Richard Hanson and Merton Utter. It was my good fortune to work as a colleague with these two PEPCKers. My first encounter with PEPCK was in Hanson's laboratory at Fels Research Institute at Temple University School of Medicine in late the sixties where I was a postdoctoral fellow working on the role of pyruvate carboxylase (Utter's other major contribution in biochemistry). After enjoying nearly 10 years of PEPCK development in Hanson's lab (working next door as a colleague), I moved with Richard Hanson when he moved as the chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University (assuming the position vacated by Merton Utter!). It was my good fortune that I had two PEPCKers as my colleagues for some time!

Hocosa of Switzerland
Hocosa underwear is offered in two variations: 100% merino wool (the softest of all wools) or a 70/30 wool/silk blend. The wool chosen for Hocosa woolens is KbT-Certified Organic wool, which ensures not only that the wool is free of pesticides, but that high working standards have been met for those working in all stages of production. Hocosa woolens provide comfort & well-being.
The wool/silk blend unites the best qualities of these two natural fibers, creating a truly unique textile. The soft merino wool absorbs moisture, keeping you dry & comfortable. Silk adds extra softness & durability. Natural fibers breathe, keeping you comfortable in either warmth or cold.
We recommend hand-washing with LANACare Lanolin Soap to keep your woolens as soft as can be!

One of the biggest names in quilting comes to Craftsy! Quilter, author and teacher Kaye England brings her expertise in traditional quilting to this information-packed online Craftsy class. In Re-Piecing the Past, you'll learn foundational piecing techniques as you work through 12 included block patterns, each with its own story to tell - from Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to "Battle Cry of Freedom," a song so popular it was sung on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.
Meet legendary quilter Kaye England and go over what you'll learn in this class.
"You don't have to be a fan of the Civil War style here, the piecing method Kaye teaches is great! ... I enjoyed watching her demos and her sense of humor. Thanks Kaye and Craftsy for this wonderful class."

Here are is a new TV Spot for RED 2 featuring President Obama as well as an infographic showing what it means to be a RED agent in today's socially connected world.
Synopsis: In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing, next-generation lethal device that can change the balance of world power. To succeed, they'll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the technologically advanced super weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.
