Jordan Zimmermann, SP – 1-0/7 IP/0 ER/2 H/8 SO
Through two full months, Zimmermann has put himself in prime position to start the All-Star Game for the National League. The evidence so far? Zimmermann ranks tied for first in the NL in wins (9), fourth in innings pitched (94.2), fourth in ERA (2.00), first in WHIP (0.89), first in complete games (3), and fifth in batting average against (.205). For Jordan Zimmermann's case as one of baseball's best pitchers, the numbers don't lie.
Ian Desmond, SS – 7-20/1 2B/5 RBI/.381 OBP
In 100 May at-bats Desmond struggled mightily to the tune of a lowly .220/.273/.436 slash. But so far in June, Desmond has been the Nationals best hitter, as evidenced by his .375/.394/.625 line through eight games. One possible reason for Desmond's June hot streak? The five games the Nationals played last week at Nationals Park, where Desmond is hitting .304/.328/.513 in 31 games this year.

Ryan Zimmerman needs to get going.

Isn't the whole riddle of this season as easy as the following: we need Strasburg healthy and Bryce healthy. Without both if them, we don't make a playoff run. With them, we do. I sort if think everything else is noise.
- Section 222 - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Seems to me that if Harvey is healthy, he starts the ASG. If not, then it's probably Wainwright or someone else from a better team than the Nats. JZnn just can't catch a break.Here's some interesting analysis on how JZnn has improved from last year to this one. The difference in how he does when he gets to a 2 strike count is, well, striking. He's likely going to be due a big payday after this year if the Nats want to keep him.
- bowdenball - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:35 PM
Said the exact same thing in the last thread, BxJaycobb. There are lots of guys performing below expectations, yes, but if Harper and Strasburg return at their expected performance levels soon, the Nats will be just fine. If not, we're probably stuck in "wait 'till next year" mode. Simple as that.
- Nats 128 - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:43 PM
At least we don't have to see Danny Espinosa on the list as in almost every other time this list as been compiled.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:50 PM
Sec 222, Wainright has been the best overall pitcher in the NL by a wide margin. Bochy may want to start one of his guys (Baumgarner has been his best) but it also comes down to how the schedule falls. JZimm should be a lock to make the team along with Kershaw and Harvey and Cliff Lee. I actually think JZimm may be the only Nat on the team (maybe Desi but there are several shortstops having better years than Desi – Tulo, Cabrerra, Segura.
- Section 135 - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:56 PM
I will continue to blame Mr. 100 millionaire Ryan Zimmerman for this team's problems. His contract merits 30 HR and a 300 BA and great defense. Horrible contract that will saddle this team for years to come along with Werth's.
- bowdenball - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:56 PM
JD said…"I actually think JZimm may be the only Nat on the team"Harper will be voted in as a starter.
- Nats 128 - Jun 12, 2013 at 6:56 PM
JD, Bryce still has a chance to get voted in for the All Star game.
- Doc - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:01 PM
Staying away from the Winter Leagues, has left Abad fresher, by his own testimony. Neat pickup Riz! Makes up for not signing Gorzo and Lefty. Looks like Krol has something to offer the BP too! I like the new pen.Now if we could just get Stor consistent from one game to the next!
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:03 PM
Nats 128, Bowdenball, Of course – how quickly we forget.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:03 PM
Harper would be legit as well. He was marching toward MVP consideration before he got hurt.
- bowdenball - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:04 PM
Why don't you ask for your money back, Sec. 135.By the way, a guy who bats .300 with 30 HRs and great defense would be worth WAY more than the $16.7 million a year Zimmerman is getting. That's Robinson Cano territory. If you think Cano is gonna settle for $17 million a year, you're off your rocker. The only other guy who does those three things consistently is Adrian Beltre. That's two guys in all of baseball. I suggest you recalibrate your expectations.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Since we are discussing all stars here are my NL picks: 1B – Votto 2B – Carpenter SS – Tulo 3B – Wright C – Molina OF – Harper OF – CarGon OF – Gomez P – Wainwright, Harvey, Kershaw, Lee, JZimm, Miller,Corbin,Minor, Lynn, De LaRosa
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:13 PM
Doc, amazing when you decide to put together your best 7 or 8 for the BP. Frustrating that it took this long.
- Section 222 - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:16 PM
Bochy was the manager of the 2011 ASG. He had Lincecum and Cain on the team, but didn't use them. Roy Hallady started, followed by Cliff Lee, Clipp for an out, then Kershaw and Jair Jurjens. A bunch of relievers pitched for an out of two. Brian Wilson was the only SF reliever used. Bochy put him in for the last two outs and the save. The schedule definitely matters though. Lincecum had pitched 6 innings three days before the ASG. Cain had pitched 6 innings two days before.If that game is any guide to his ASG managerial style, sounds to me like Wainwright or maybe Kershaw will get the start. But I still think if Harvey is on the team and healthy, Bochy may start him in front of the home crowd. He wants to win the game, and letting the home town hero ride the crowd's energy could be a good way to start the game.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:19 PM
JD, I have a similar list with Segura at SS and Kershaw, JZim, Harvey as my Top 3.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:21 PM
Sec 222, Oh, I forgot the game is in New York. I think Harvey will definitely start if possible.
- Doc - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:22 PM
Correctomundo Ghost. I guess baseball teams have a way of letting things play out. I mean Davey & Co. had to have Mattheus beat up a locker, and Duke and HRod had to show consistent decline.In the meantime, Davis, Krol and Abad had to show some stuff somewhere else. Time in baseball is a different sports time than other sports, mostly because of the 162 games.Interestinly, all the above-noted 3 are cheap pick-ups, if you can count Krol as a throw-in for Mickey Mo.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:23 PM
Ghost, Segura was my 1st instinct at SS but I checked the numbers and Tulo is having a sick year; MVP like both with the stick and in the field.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:28 PM
Krol and Abad totally prove my point that you don't pay relievers big bucks based on passed history. You find the guys on the cheap who will do it in the future. Nice job by Rizzo et. al to find these guys. I also get your point Ghost on waiting too long but Rizzo was gonna wait until he had absolutely no doubt about Henry. The thought of being wrong here must have really haunted him and he didn't want another Hanrahan on his dime ( I don't think that the Willingham trade had anything to do with it).
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:29 PM
I discount the Coors effect on Tulo. Segura has all the intangibles and the speed. Desi is my #3. I have Strasburg higher on my list too.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:30 PM
I think Rizzo was willing to live with the noise coming from the fan base but when Duke and Henry started losing games all on their own it was time to move on.
- bowdenball - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:35 PM
To be fair to Rizzo, Duke and especially Henry didn't lose a lot of games. They usually entered games that were already lost or won. When Henry did actually lose a game by allowing an extra inning Braves rally he was gone before the next game. Also the time they spent doing mopup work allowed Rizzo to evaluate the talent in the minors and find the best options to replace them. If he'd given up on Duke and Henry on opening day we definitely wouldn't have gotten Krol, Davis and Abad in their place.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:38 PM
Ghost, Tulo at home: 8 HR 25 RBI Tulo on the road: 8 HR 26 RBI's. batting average is better at home . 404 vs. .302 but still fantastic home or away and the defensive metrics favor Tulo by a wide margin. The only area Segura beats him is base running. Not trying to change your mind. Just talking.BTW, Evreth Cabrera and Brandon Crawford are also having slightly better years than Desi.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:39 PM
Bowdenball, Exactly what I was trying to say but you said it better.
- NatsLady - Jun 12, 2013 at 7:56 PM
Rizzo followed the strategy of the first two months you see what you got. You might say he should have acted more quickly but in addition to seeing what bullpen pieces would work, he needed to wait for Rendon. It would have been pretty silly to have Rendon taking a lot of reps if RZim got hurt again. When it became clear that we could limp along with RZ's shoulder but NOT limp along with Danny's offense the decision was made.BTW, the O's opted for the opposite, keeping Flaherty at 2B strictly for his glove. As the announcer said, "when he gets a hit, everyone cheers." (He's hitting .172). I think Danny might have stayed but the injury, Rendon, and lack of offense from other positions tipped the balance away from him. We couldn't afford a glove-only 2B with Harper and Ramos down because that is three positions with minimal offense. Can't do anything about Harper and Ramos except wait, so Danny had to go.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:02 PM
Maholm and the Braves down 3-0 with 1 out in the bottom of the 1st.
- NatsLady - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:02 PM
BTW, do you remember the Nats tangling with Arizona? June 5, 2011 Drew blew a save and the Nats got 5 runs in extra innings. A lot happened.http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=310605129
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:10 PM
"The sad part is I don't see the offense being any better next year. Any improvement from Harper, Rendon, Ramos will be balanced by further declines from Werth, Zim, and Laroche. The farm system has no impact bats left."Okay, this was posted a couple of times and I just have to respond. If you think Werth and LaRoche will continue to decline, I understand that given their age. But Zim is 28 years old, coming off of shoulder surgery. There's no reason there will be "further decline" from him, if anything we should expect improvement in his power numbers. The future is still very bright. Rendon, Desi, Zim, Harper are all good hitters. Werth's role will decline as he ages but he still has a few years of good numbers left in him. LaRoche won't even be here after next year. And of course, the Nationals will continue to sign free agents.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:18 PM
David Proctor, Don't worry about it. Neganons like being Neganons and they enjoy their little digs. I wander if they really root for the Nats. Last year they sounded ridiculous as we had the best record in baseball so they are in their glory this year. I'm with you. The team is young and the talent level, particularly the pitching is is impressive so the future looks bright and this not according to Nats PR, it's according to National baseball pundits. It's true that we have very few real talented position players in the pipe line mainly because we graduated so many in the past few years but there are tons of really impressive young arms and if they progress well you can convert some of them to position players via trades.
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:30 PM

Section 135 said… I will continue to blame Mr. 100 millionaire Ryan Zimmerman for this team's problems.Right — because of RZ's contract, Harper, Werth, Detwiler, Ramos, and Strasburg got injured, Espi bottomed out, Chad Tracy couldn't get on track, and Haren threw too many gopher balls.Or something like that, right?
- A DC Wonk - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:39 PM
JD wrote:I'm with you. The team is young and the talent level, particularly the pitching is is impressive so the future looks bright Indeed! The Nats have the second youngest team in the league. Most players have peak years between ages 27-32, and look who on the Nats are at age 27 or younger (which means they are still not at their potential):Desmond, Harper, Rendon, Ramos — and, more importantly: Strasburg, JZim, Gio, and Storen.And that's not even counting guys who are pretty young and look like they have a good future: Ian Krol (only 22), Marrero (only 24), Kobernus, TyMo, and Abad.
- baseballswami - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:41 PM
During Sunday night's game, FP talked about how Ryan was on the field at 10:30 in the morning taking ground ball after ground ball. He is maybe six months post op. When spring training started he was not throwing and only ramped it up late and in a hurry. He is still in rehab and working as hard as he can to contribute. The bat is coming, the arm is getting stronger but is still not trustworthy. I see him getting better and better and having many good years until he deteriorates. When fully healthy he will be fierce.
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:42 PM
Since Werth and Rendon have been in the lineup, the Nats have had these hits: 10, 10, 14 and 8 (and with the 8, there were 4 walks). They've also scored 1, 3, 7, 6, 3 and 4 runs. The baserunners are starting to be there. Now we just need to drive them in more (although we've been doing that marginally better). That's where Harper comes in big time.
- Section 222 - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:43 PM
Wonk, be fair. It's not that Zim's contract caused anything to happen. It's that you'd like for your FoF who has the gigantic contract to carry the team when it runs into other difficulties. Instead, Zim is kind of an average hitter this year. Not horrible, but certainly not special. And his fielding is a minus not a plus, as we'd come to expect. You might say the same thing or more about Werth and his contract, but we accepted long ago that that money was more of a statement by the Lerners and Rizzo that "we're in this for pennants" than a reflection of what they thought the player was worth. Still, the Nats most highly paid players don't really produce. Compare Cabrera and Fielder, Tulo and Cargo. But the Angels have Hamilton and the Dodgers have Ethier, and the Giants have Zito. We're not the only team out there that's paying a lot of money to just kind of good players.

Instead, Zim is kind of an average hitter this year. Not horrible, but certainly not special. And his fielding is a minus not a plus, as we'd come to expect."I think that's a reflection of his shoulder surgery to be honest. What Zim did last year, after the cortisone shot, was MVP worthy. We were not a 98 win team without him. I still think he's capable of playing at that level. Zim has never been an elite hitter, but I would have him in that tier just under.I've noticed many of Zim's hardest hit balls are going for doubles instead of homers. I have to think that's the shoulder. But he hit 3 homers against Baltimore, so that would seem to dispel that. I'm not sure, to be perfectly honest. But he is a 28 year old (aka in his prime) and recovering from surgery. I expect he'll be better moving forward, later this year and next.Werth (and Rendon) have drastically improved the lineup since their returns. Small sample size and all but look at my post above.
- baseballswami - Jun 12, 2013 at 8:49 PM
Werth and Rendon have both brought back some energy.

Stat!I was responding to the ridiculous comment by Section 135 who said:I will continue to blame Mr. 100 millionaire Ryan Zimmerman for this team's problems.My point was that RZ had *nothing* to do with those injuries, and the disappearing batting averages of a couple of players.
- Section 222 - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:04 PM
Well, you said RZ's contract, but my point is the same. No, RZ didn't have anything to do with the injuries or Danny's implosion. But he's also been far from the superstar that you might hope a guy making $100 million over 10 years would be. Is that the cause of all the teams's problems? Of course not. Might the Nats be doing better if Zim's and Werth's OPSs were better than .773 and .744, respectively? Very possibly. Tulo is the same age as Zim and has a similar contract. In fact, if I remember correctly, his contract was kind of seen as a model for Zim's because of their age and potential. His stats this year after returning from a season marred by injury? .353/.420/.651 with 16 HRs already. Zim has 6 HRs, and 3 were in that one game in Baltimore. Yeah, yeah, I know, Coors Field, blah blah blah. But still…

Amanda Comak @acomak 11s#nats lineup: Span CF, Kobernus LF, Zimmerman 3B, Werth RF, LaRoche 1B, Desmond SS, Rendon 2B, Solano C, Ohlendorf PThat's an interesting lineup. Not sure I understand why Davey pairs Solano with the new guys (although Ohlendorf isn't young so I guess it doesn't matter as much as it did with Karns).

I think Suzuki is starting to wear down. He is an automatic out at the plate these days. It's not a bad idea to give him a night off. I would have played Marrero also. what the heck.
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:18 PM
If the Padres win (game is far from over), they'll have swept the Braves. The Braves are not as good as they look, folks. We're very much alive in this thing IF we play up to our capabilities.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:18 PM
David…. who do you think caught Ohlendorf earlier in Syracuse?
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:19 PM
Good point NatsJack. Makes much more sense then.
- NatsLady - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:19 PM
Kobernus getting a start against the lefty but not Marrero.DP, I think Davey has to pick his spots, and he must feel we have a better shot to win tomorrow (with Det) than tonight, and you have to figure he wants Zook with Gio on Friday. It will be interesting what he does over the weekend, being as how there are no off-days on this road trip.
- JD - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:19 PM
Steady, Good thing. I have this sinking feeling that if Volquez stays out there much longer he'l give the runs back.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:19 PM

NatsJack, Yes but when Solano was catching Ohlendorf the pitching results were not so stellar.
- David Proctor - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:21 PM
Yikes. BJ Upton is batting .161 with 12 RBI. Tyler Moore has 13 RBI. And doesn't cost 75 mil.
- NatsLady - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:22 PM
Volquez is not a good pitcher. He was their opening day starter, and he is always last on my list (except for Worley who got demoted and Harrison who was injured.) It drives us crazy when a mediocre pitcher looks like Cy Young–bet Atlanta fans feel the same!
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:22 PM
JD, I was about to say the same on Suzuki. It's like he was slowly falling apart game by game in front of out eyes.

I hereby move that the Braves have to play the rest of the season in southern California, no matter who they're playing. All opposed? Nobody? All right, motion passes. *g*I've been critical of Davey, so for balance, two dumb things he doesn't generally do that are common from other managers:1) Use pitchers to pinch-run. Mattingly in LA does it with Kershaw, who's their most important player, and the Phillies do it with Cliff Lee, who's their best pitcher by a mile and their best trade chip if they decide to sell off. Yes, it's not the most likely outcome he'd get hurt, but if there's even a small chance why risk it?2) Ordering a lot of retaliatory beanings and risking brawls. The scene out in LA with Kennedy and Greinke last night was nuts, and they're lucky no one got seriously hurt.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:31 PM
David….agreed but in this case, aside from Suzuki's obvious wearing down, familiarity trumps results.

"2) Ordering a lot of retaliatory beanings and risking brawls. The scene out in LA with Kennedy and Greinke last night was nuts, and they're lucky no one got seriously hurt."Well I remember last year after Hamels hit Bryce and Bryce stole home, JZimm plunked Hamels. Not sure if it was ordered by Davey or if it was just Zimmermann retaliating on his own though.
- Steady Eddie - Jun 12, 2013 at 9:46 PM
David Proctor — actually TMo's dinger wasn't game winning, as it was a 3-run shot and we won 6-2. But it was especially valuable insurance as we had just won by one the day before.

Justin Upton as the lead run takes one looking to end game.He is a graduate of the Eck hitting camp.Davey says wants more swinging at fast balls on strike 1, but since tge decree there has been little more.
- TheManBearPig - Jun 12, 2013 at 11:25 PM
How does one rough night in the worst park in MLB for pitchers get Storen on the "not" list when the last run he gave up before last night's loss was before Memorial Day? 7 straight scoreless outings in which only 3 hitters got on base should have made his spot on the "hot" list solid enough to survive last night.

Bee stingGuys,
I got a bad experience with bee, Being stung for two weeks straight... What should I do for avoiding those bees ? Because it suddenly appeared onto me and stung... one near my eye, (entering my glass) and another one one my thigh... Any idea ? Cheers and happy riding
Re: Bee stingHi
I have no real solutions for bee stings on a bike ride. I'd suggest you've just had a run of bad luck. I've been riding for many years and have never had a sting while riding, although a couple of years ago I did get a wasp sting. You probably won't get another for 10 years. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Bee stingPersonally I avoid dripping the honey from my sandwich all over me......
Seriously though? Surely most adults can figure out bees themselves....
Re: Bee stingDo you wear yellow?
In my experience yellow attracts bees.
Re: Bee stingI've only been stung once and that was right on the chin. Same as you I was just riding and then bang it got me.
Sounds like you have had some very bad luck to me to get done twice so close together.
Re: Bee sting
Yes that's right a bad luck, 2 rides and 2 stings....
Re: Bee sting
I did, but the first one on my thigh, it was black and blue bibshort, how come they were interested with black ?? Do you guys have any solutions to avoid ? or it's just pure bad luck for me... Two weeks in the row, I got swollen on my thigh and the last couple of days on my cheek, near my right eye...
Re: Bee stingI'm almost certain that the canning river bush land in gosnells has a very healthy population of bees. Can't say I live/ride in the area but I'm aware of the bees. Is it possible that the environment you ride in puts you more at risk, if so, perhaps think about avoiding the river area or known hot spots?
Re: Bee stingI got pinged by one near the Fiona Stanley hospital last month.

Re: Bee stingI get stung a couple of times a week in spring where I live... bugs can be so bad at times you can't ride with your mouth open. Luckily I don't have to wear a helmet also as that is a great bug trap!.
Usually it doesn't bother me except on the thighs for so reason. I don't think there is much you can do to avoid it.
Re: Bee stingDing your bell, call 'passing', give a good amount of clearance and you should avoid bee stings in the future. Unless they're wearing headphones, in which case you're in trouble - no knowing what they'll do.
Personally I believe all bees should be registered if they're going to use shared pathway facilities.
Re: Bee stingJust bad luck mate. I'd never been stung on a bike by a bee until late last year. Then I managed to get stung in the mouth by a bumble bee, and then a second one two weeks later on a shin last spring. I was wearing different clothing each time, and was on completely different sections of roads.
The warmer the day, the more active insects tend to be. If you can ride during the early morning when it tends to be cooler, you'll probably have fewer insect encounters, but realistically it's out of your control De Rosa Macro | Trek Superfly 100AL Elite | Claud Butler Sovereign
Re: Bee sting
I got sting at Bentley.....just in front of canning college and the other one at pickering brook, near the primary school.... hopefully I will get a clean ride this weekend..
Re: Bee sting
I encountered those bees around 9-10AM.....may be they attracted to my color..
Re: Bee sting
By any chance, have you just started riding, R1? There are a lot of random things that can happen but you shouldn't let them spoil a day - you'd have to think insects usually fall into that category. You may encounter some magpies later this year whose attacks are very deliberate (if defensive in origin) .
Re: Bee stingPretty sure that bees see ultra violet. Maybe there is something in that and what you wear while riding?
Personally I have been stung by a bee once in my entire life and never while riding my bike. So i think you were just unlucky. Now that I have said that I'm sure I'm going to get stung on the way home!!
Re: Bee stingsurely someone can make a bee smoker that sits into a cage. would make for a cool effect as you rid3 along, or could look like you are smoking out your ass.
Re: Bee sting
could be...hehehe
Re: Bee stingBeen stung twice on the bike
first got me between sunglasses and helmet, GAWD that hurt. I had to stop and wait for the pain to settle down before I could carry on. I'm mildy allergic to all insect bites/stings and the bites/stings are typically twice the size of everyday ppl and my histamine levels go shooting up. Next time was years later when I was on tour. Now I go thru a bee swarm and don't get stung, but I'm in an area with no living trees for km's and next thing BAM gets me on my inner thigh. LIKE comeon there are no flowers here for miles. I was between Coolgardie and Widgiemoothla. But it was timing, I was wanting to stop to get a bite to eat so that forced me to Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Bee sting
same experience with me, I got it on my inner thigh...so painfull, I stopped a little while before I can ride again and last week hit inside my glasses and hit my cheek...I directly pulled out the bee and threw to the road, so the sting was not yet inside my skin but it had torn my skin and injected the poison, painfull, lucky I can hold the pain all the way from pickering brook untill home....
Re: Bee sting
Guys, sounds like those bees were chasing your 'flowers' Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Bee sting
hahahahaha luckily not hitting my "flower", it could have been a female bee....hahahahaha
Re: Bee stingI don't know how the bee got past my ortlieb handbar bag and my front panniers... Another small gap a bee got thru

Re: Bee sting
But Dan you should have seen them, they were all over the road and I didn't know where they were going, so I tooted my horn at them to get them into their proper lane and they followed me to my work and became aggressive. And what is it with that black and yellow lycra?
Re: Bee stingI rode into a swarm on Mt Keira a few years ago. Just ducked down low and carried on to the top and then turned for home. I got stung on the back of my neck in the driveway after I stopped. Little bugger had been sitting on my collar.

I finally decided to try the 9.12 hotfix release on my 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 installation with an HD4870. Building the deb-files went just fine, and so did installing them. But when I start X my two monitors (connected via DVI) goes to sleep. "Hmmmm. Funny." I thought, so I tried the real 9.12 release; the same thing.
Going back to 9.11 solved the problem.
Has anyone else seen this problem? I tried searching ati.cchtml.com but it hasn't been updated with new versions of Catalyst since 9.7.
Did you uninstall the previous fglrx driver before installing the new one ?
Files in /etc are usually not removed when uninstalling stuff so that settings don't get lost. And that's a good thing; imagine what would happen if you had to redo all settings of all software you upgrade. Welcome to hell.
What's not a good thing, however, is fglrx chocking on the /etc/ati stuff of previous versions, for no apparent reason. Yeah I know, you'll say "did you report it in the bug tracker", but you know my answer so lets not derail another thread
Last edited by RealNC; 01-17-2010 at 11:13 AM.
Well, basically what RealNC said.
But just to clarify; I let my package manager handle the installation and uninstallation by simply running "dpkg -i *.deb" in the directory where I built the deb packages. This has worked fine before, and as far as I can remember this was the first time I had to meddle in /etc/ati/ after upgrading the driver.
"dpkg -P" will purge the configuration files, but because amdpcsdb isn't part of the package it isn't removed (dpkg -P does give a warning about this though)

What You Really Get From a Heuristic Evaluation
Every user experience researcher I know gets requests to do heuristic evaluations. But it isn't always clear that the requester actually knows what is involved in doing a heuristic evaluation. That happens. If I had a dollar for every time someone called asking for a focus group when what they ended up needing was a usability test, I could take a very nice holiday on Aruba.
They've heard the buzzword. They might have heard that Jakob Neilsen had something to do with the method, so that adds something to the appeal (though I'm not sure what). And they know that someone who they hope is a "usability expert" can just tell them what's wrong. Right now.
Some clients who have asked me to do heuristic evaluations have picked up the term somewhere but often are not clear on the details. Typically, they have mapped "heuristic evaluation" to "usability audit," or something like that. It's close enough to start a conversation.
Unfortunately, the request usually suggests that a heuristic evaluation can substitute for usability tests. I chat with the person, starting by talking about what a heuristic evaluation is, what you get out of it, and how it compares to what you find out in a usability test.
How do you do a heuristic evaluation?
Let's talk about what a "classic" heuristic evaluation is. When Jakob Nielsen and Rolf Molich published the method in 1990, these two really smart guys were trying to distill some of the basic principles that make a user interface usable to its audience. They came up with 10 "accepted usability principles" (heuristics) that, when multiple evaluators applied them to any UI, should reveal gaps in the design of the UI that could cause problems for users.
Armed with the Nielsen checklist of accepted usability principles—heuristics—someone who had never seen the target UI before, and who was not necessarily knowledgeable about the domain, should be able to determine whether any UI complied with these 10 commandments of usable UI design. If three or four or five people sat down for an hour or two and inspected an interface separately, they could come up with piles of problems. Then they could compare their lists, normalize the issues, and then hand a list off to the engineers to go fix.
What do you get out of a heuristic evaluation?
Let's say that the person who called me the other day was asking for a review in the form of a heuristic evaluation to resolve a conflict on the team. The conflict on this team was about the page flow: What should the order of steps in the process be? The same as site X, or the same as site Y? Should the up-sell be at the beginning or the end of the purchase process? "Could you please review the UI and just tell us what to do because we don't have time and money to do a usability test?"
Several of the Nielsen heuristics might apply. Some probably don't. For example, did the success of the page flow require users to remember things from step to step (recognition rather than recall)? Were there any shortcuts for return customers (flexibility and efficiency of use)? Where might users get bogged down, distracted, or lost (aesthetic and minimalist design)? By applying these heuristics, what have we found out?
The flow might require people to remember something from one step to another. The way the heuristic is written, requiring this of users is always bad. But it might not be.
The flow might not have shortcuts for expert users. The way the heuristic is written, not having shortcuts is bad. But it might not be.
There may be places in the flow that slow people down. The way the heuristic is written, you always want users to be able to do tasks quickly. But you might not.
And I don't think we have resolved the conflict on the team.
When applying what I call "checklist usability" in a heuristic evaluation to learn what the flaws and frustrations of a design might be, the outcome is a determination of whether the UI complies with the heuristics. It is an inspection, not an evaluation. It is not about the user experience. It's not even about task performance, which is what the underlying question was in the team's conflict: Will users do better with this flow versus that flow? If we interrupt them, will they still complete a purchase? Any inspection method that claims to answer those kinds of questions is just guessing.
A team may learn about some design flaws, but the frustrations could remain stubbornly hidden—unless the reviewer has already observed many, many users trying to reach goals using this site or process, or something very like it in the same domain. Even then, there's a huge risk that a single inspector or even a small group of inspectors—who are applying very general guidelines, are not actually using the design as part of the inspection, and are not like the users—will miss flaws that will be task-stoppers. Worse, they may identify things that don't comply with the heuristics that should not be changed.
How does heuristic evaluation compare to usability testing?
Heuristic evaluation was codified around 1990, at a time when it was expensive to get access to users. It was common for people to have to be trained to use the technology being evaluated before they could sit down in a usability lab to perform some tasks. The whole concept of even having an interface for end-users was pretty new. Conventions were just settling into place.
Usability testing has been around since at least the 1980s, but began to be widely practiced about the same time Nielsen and Molich published their heuristic evaluation method. While usability testing probably needs some updating as a method, the basic process still works well. It is pretty inexpensive to get access to users. UIs to technology are everywhere. For most of the applications of technology that I test, users don't need special training.
Heuristic evaluation may help a team know whether their UI complies with someone else's guidelines. But observing people using a design in a usability test gives a team primary data for making design decisions for their users using their design—especially in a world evolved far beyond command line entry and simple GUIs to options like touchscreens, social media, and ubiquitous connectivity. Separately and in combination, these and other design decisions present subtle, complex problems of usability. For me, observing people using a design will always trump an inspection or audit for getting solid evidence to determine a design direction. There is nothing like that "ah ha!" moment when a user does something unexpected to shed light on how well a design works.

This is a really great article Dana. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I especially like the part about how something in an assessment may say that one thing is bad, but in reality (after real testing), it turns out just fine.
I like to remember the tone of the presentation of the information. I think's it really critical to paint a gentle picture of how we are "teaming up" to find "possible usability focus points", but not necessarily good/bad parts.
I recently went through our process and documented it in my blog. I'd be honored if you were to check it out and give me some feedback.
Creating a UX Assessment
I use a different checklist depending on the UI element. Thats how rich UI design is becoming. I comb through high level hueristics like Nielson's, then lower lever specific hueristics.
Nielsen's heuristics were designed for desktop software. They are not fully applicable to web interfaces. I have a reduced set that I use for web evaluations that is also coupled with an assessment on the frequency and severity of the issue. So it is not just "this is a list of problems and they all must be fixed", but here are a number of things which, as Harry indicates, can be prioritized as we know this will be a problem simply in it's construct in relation to the target users and the context. I completely agree that calling in a consultant to do heuristic evaluation is neither going to be a good use of the consultant's time nor get the desired results to improve the web application, unless they have a way to really understand the domain and the users.
To do a good heuristic it is helpful to have personas and scenarios. Without those you are just asking for opinions. Certainly some opinions are better than others. Which is why heuristics in the end are no replacement for usability tests. As anyone who has done both knows, it is always interesting to see how little users are bothered by one thing as compared to what they really get hung up on when performing a task. where doing almost any type of user testing is better than none, some heuristics can be detrimental if you end up working on things that while likely are problems, are not significant problems for your users.
As a counterpoint, I loathe being hired in to do some usability testing only to find the product is riddled with schoolboy errors that I could easily have uncovered in a quick UX review of some kind beforehand. Waste of time, waste of client's money.
For me, the classic definition of a heuristic evaluation involves the notion that somewhere out there exists a "perfect interface" for the task at hand and the job a of an interaction or UI designer is to strive toward that perfect model, never attaining it of course. I find many clients seem to think that if you hand off a couple of wireframes or a prototype to a usability expert, he or she will look up all these usability rules in her big book and come back with a kind of score or something. I think that basic concept is all wrong. Designing interfaces (or any product) is all about context, tasks, limits, and these change over time and even within the time scope of a project. I totally agree that an inspection is incredibly valuable and cost-efficient if it is done by an experienced usability expert. Evaluating during sprints in an agile development process is spot on. To me, heuristic evaluations are to be considered as a high resolution, narrow focus tool that should be used often but in short bursts. Usability testing is a lower frequency, lower resolution, broader tool that has the benefit (and pitfalls) of relying on trying to make sense of complex human behavior. It's a whole other ball game.
You talk about "a small group of inspectors — who are... not actually using the design as part of the inspection". Wouldn't a heuristic evaluation typically involve the evaluators using the system under test? How else can they do it?
And I do think that "heuristic evaluation" is a good name for the technique. "Heuristic" implies that the evaluation is made with guidelines -- rules of thumb, not precise measurements. "Usability audit" carries a whiff of accounting, which misleadingly implies that the results will be exact. "Your application is 87.3% usable."
I think much more common than full-blown heuristic assessments are the requests for advice and opinions in the corridor, over the phone, in meetings. People expect you to know stuff - and responding "It depends" because you haven't had the opportunity to conduct research yet (if at all) just doesn't fly with management or colleagues and makes you sound amateur and spineless.
It's tough to balance dispensing unsubstantiated advice with putting questions off till you have done your research but it is a compromise that needs to be made and you are going to have to draw on general design principles, your instincts and experience.
Great article, Dana.
I agree with you and Chris Rourke when you say we shouldn't follow the rules of heuristic evaluation too closely. In an expert evaluation, you should look at context and what is really important for a particular product or website.
As Joe has rightly said: the quality of expertise of the usability expert is key.
But then again, expert evaluations are no substitute for user testing. Experts don't know everything, not even usability experts.
I think there is value in both. Heuristics by professionals with a ton of experience (working with users in the field and in labs on a large variety of sites) can be invaluable. It can be especially useful during the design process if you want some basic feedback on wires/rough comps. It can help squash some of the bigger gotchas and get a design to a point where you can use user testing to answer more specific questions and not waste time/money on broad problems.
User testing is obviously invaluable, but I think it must really be done in a controlled environment with professionals who know how to interpret use reactions/behavior meaningfully. I've seen UX teams doing their own testing (even with real users) and drawing big shiny conclusions from anecdotal user behavior. There is a definite danger in oversimplifying a user's psychology or in simply seeing what you want to see based one a single user's behavior.
In both methods, I think quality of expertise and professional interpretation are key. I love scrappy, quick and dirty hallway testing as much as the next person - but if everyone in your hallway is also a designer, your results aren't worth much. Bottom line, I think you need to get your design out of your own mind to be interpreted by a third party with fresh eyes.
Hi Dana - thanks for the good summary. I agree that there are drawbacks to the method, starting with its name (alienating, academic & strange) and the fact it was developed for software rather than the web (some of the 10 are awkward to apply - help & documentation)especially for social media where the issue is often more the context than what you see. But the biggest risk is that the results can be dismissed as 'just an opinion' even when well conducted by experienced people. I was part of the CUE studies by Rolf Molich a few years ago and the results comparing usability tests to heuristic evaluations are interesting in a high degree of noncomformity of findings. And there is no chance for the killer quote / video clip to seal the deal showing what a barrier some issue is.
On the plus side, for quick turnaround however, they will always be around though perhaps without the straight jacket of the 10 rules but more applied as a 'usability audit' 'expert evaluation' or similar.
Thanks for a great article, Dana. The term "heuristic evaluation" frankly has always made me gag because, as you note, it's a buzzword that sounds credibly scientific but no one actually seems to understand the meaning or purpose of it. There's a section of my book that discusses how quantitative or quasi-objective methods of evaluating a product aren't anywhere near as effective as just talking to and observing users. Those methods can indicate that there might be a problem, possibly, somewhere... user feedback/observation tells you that there is a problem, and specifically where.

I use cast iron when i can. I found a small skillet maybe 8 inch at a yard sale. It has tapered sides not like most. I use it for cornbread most of the time. Gave 50 cents for it.. Had a few rough spots on it but all cleared after using it for a while and cooks great. I have my moms old skillet and it's like brand new. It is smoother than some of the newer ones you buy. I think the new rougher surfaces actually get a better coating of carbon on them guess it sticks better due to the roughness. They all cook great though.
Never never put soap on one..... after washing wipe dry maybe put a thin coat of cooking oil on it and put it back in your still warm oven. This will be sure it is dry and keep it from rusting.
My mom cooked everything in hers. sure was some good food too..
You can check this yahoo group for all the information you will ever need about cast iron. great info recipes etc.

Richards looks to get Angels back on track vs. A's
After a slow start, the Angels' starters appear to be finding a rhythm.
Joe Blanton, Jason Vargas and Tommy Hanson have given the team three consecutive quality starts, a trend the rotation hopes to continue Tuesday.
Garrett Richards will get Tuesday's start against divisional rival Oakland as the Angels attempt to get back in the winning column against the A's following Monday's 10-8 loss in 19 innings.
"We've had some quality starts from guys," catcher Chris Iannetta said. "Guys are throwing more strikes and controlling more counts, so I think they've done a really great job."
Although the Angels have lost five of their last six and are currently seven games under .500, A's manager Bob Melvin believes the Angels are better than their early season record indicates.
"This is a very dangerous team that has not played up to their ability to this point, but they're always a game away from it," Melvin said. "You know that they're a scary team. They started out slow last year and really played well later. At some point in time, they're going to get hot, and you just hope it's when they leave town."
Right-handed pitcher Jarrod Parker will get the start for the A's. Parker has struggled this season as he has an 0-4 record with a ERA over eight, but Melvin is pleased with the work Parker has put in between starts.
"I think he's a little more confident," Melvin said. "He tries to separate each outing and go into each one with a positive mindset. He threw a more aggressive bullpen session the other day that was more game-like, and I think he came out of the feeling pretty good."
Parker hasn't lasted six innings in four of his five starts this season, but has a 2.90 ERA in 31 career innings pitched against the Angels.
Angels: De La Rosa a much needed arm in the bullpen
• Dane De La Rosa was not a member of the Angels until the very end of Spring Training, but has appeared in nine of the last 13 games.
"It's a great opportunity," the 30-year-old De La Rosa said. "It's nothing I'm not used to. I've been doing this for pretty much the last three years in Triple-A and Double-A. I don't mind it at all. It's helping us out, so it's all good."
• The Angels have been without shortstop Erick Aybar since April 9, but it appears he will rejoin the team in the near future.
Last week, Aybar played in three extended spring training games in Arizona and on Monday he went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer in a game for Triple-A Salt Lake.
A's: Wells traded to White Sox
• Outfielder Casper Wells was traded to the White Sox for cash considerations on Monday.
Wells was hitless in five at-bats for Oakland before he was designated for assignment on Sunday.
• When Dan Straily was called up to make Monday's start, reliever Jesse Chavez was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Chavez allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings for Oakland.
Worth noting
• Mike Trout is hitting .357 with 14 career at-bats against Parker.
• In his career, Richards has thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings against the A's. No one on Oakland's roster has more than four career at-bats against Richards.

Other than that, the iPhone 5 represents a series of incremental improvements. However, There's nothing earth-shattering, which is disappointing to those who want to be surprised, but it's evidently going to be enough for the millions of consumers looking for a new phone. The redesigned hardwares are a lot of things to consider.
C'mon man, I've been doing this since the TipB times! I'm still not giving up hope! Send a Black IPhone my way!!
Woohoo! I love these contests, although I never win them hahaha. Here's hope that I'll finally get lucky!
My boyfriend is buying the new iPhone, but I'm a student and can't afford to get it. Please give it to me so he can't rub it in my face!
Look, with my first-born due in a little under a month, I need to win this. My wife sure is not going to let me buy it, period. PLEEEASE. Yes, I am begging.
The powers that be have prevented me from getting the new iPhone this year.
Please help me iMore ......... you're my only hope!
Event review: Products: 11/10. Presentation/keynote: 2/10. And i hate the freakin circular icons on the iPod Nano !
Hey I have entered the competition too :P I have only one question ... The panorama mode that is said to be there in iPhone 5 ... Will it be made available for the 4s too since the the new iPod touch has the same chip as 4s and it has the panorama mode
Android users are drooling right now. I can confirm because I have an android phone. Haha. I've been dying to get my hands on an iPhone! Hopefully I can now!
Hey Rene, I loved your life coverage of the Apple conference. Thank you for that!
I'm happy i entered this contest with this post! Enjoy the day everyone!
Either way, I think it's a win-win. If I stay with my Sprint iPhone 4S, perhaps I'll get some speed and bandwidth back when everyone else on my carrier jumps ship to the iPhone 5's 4G LTE. If I win, well, then I get to play with the latest toy from Apple! Good luck everyone!
