Former SVP says Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has "No...vision"; argues Android isn't open or functional
Once the
world's top maker of both smartphones
, these days Finland-based phonemaker Nokia Oyj. (
) can only wait and hope for a turnaround. The company was facing sliding sales and criticism that its smartphone operating system, Symbian, couldn't keep up with the young guns of the mobile world -- Google Inc.'s (
) Android and Apple, Inc.'s (
) iOS. In response, Nokia's board made a bold gamble importing former Microsoft Corp. (
executive Stephen Elop
as its CEO and allowing him to
forge a pact with Microsoft
to adopt Windows Phone.
I. Ex-Nokia Exec "Hates on" Android, Showers Defunct Symbian OS With Praise
While there are some promising signs
in terms of hardware
and sales
of late, the
to date
have been pretty ugly and have called Nokia's
decision to ditch Symbian
-- or at least how it's executed that plan -- into question.
a ranting interview
Crave Media
, a clearly outraged Lee Williams -- former Nokia SVP of the early Series 60 smartphones (2006-2009) and
later Executive Director of the Symbian Foundation
(2009-2010) -- vented his frustrations at his former employer's decision to scrap Symbian, which he sees as a big mistake. He also used the interview as a platform to express some unusual views, attacking the operating system world's top players as incompetent in various ways and arguing that Nokia's Symbian is the ultimate operating system."
Mr. Williams, who now is a partner a SourceBits, a San Francisco mobile consulting firm, comments, "I did not see a good reason to change course [from Symbian] so frantically...I don't think Nokia was going in the wrong direction with some of the things it was doing -- it was simply executing poorly before Elop got there and they weren't giving it enough time. Symbian was Nokia's cash-cow -- Elop sacrificed it."
Lee Williams, former Symbian chief, claims Nokia is making a mistake. He argues that Microsoft's Windows Phone and Google's Android are losers, and that Symbian is a winner.

The former Symbian chief argues Nokia would have been better served pledging to primarily support Symbian, but perhaps dabbling in Windows Phone.
He would approve of Nokia going to Microsoft's competitor Google even less, though. He had harsh words for the
world's most used smartphone operating system
, which he accuses of not being open and lacking functionality to -- you guessed it --
He jabs, "Android is a less capable offering than a few options that still exist within Nokia. It's certainly not what I would refer to as an open system. More than that, I think that Nokia has little opportunity to differentiate here in the near term…"
He bemoans, "Symbian is shipping on around 20 million new units a quarter as of today. When I was at the company it was responsible for seven of 10 of Nokia's highest gross margin products. Think of those volumes. There were dozens of products that shipped in the tens of millions."
II. Microsoft, Nokia CEO Elop, and Nokia Board Chairman Also Get Attacked
The bitter former executive throws dirt on Microsoft's
upcoming Windows Phone 8
. After arguing that the new OS won't be a market changer, he attacks Microsoft's general track record, commenting, "[E]verything 'Windows 8' has a big question mark on it right now, and it should be this way. Microsoft is notoriously late on delivery..."
He accuses Nokia CEO Stephen Elop of ruining the company. He comments, "As an arm chair quarterback, it is clear to me that [Nokia CEO Stephen] Elop is struggling. The results speak for themselves. Elop hasn't delivered a roadmap. He's been there for two to three years and there's really no roadmap," says Williams. "There's no overarching vision for this company. That to me is akin to stepping completely out of the leadership role and running behind the bus now."
Mr. Williams predicts that Nokia will eventually come back to
Symbian after realizing that it's the best. [Image Source: GizMag]
The issue provokes Mr. Williams so much that he vents about the strategy, stating, "Elop is operating like a CFO [chief financial officer] -- CFOs are very practical, always looking at costs, always internally focused... I don't think he's really projecting anything forward or sitting around with his team imaging what the future looks like. I think it's 's**t (sic) how do I get rid of a third of this overhead in R&D?"
And he's not above crowing about the
recent Nokia credit downgrade
to junk status, commenting, "Those credit ratings are a huge deal for them. If they can't borrow and move money -- wow! There's very little for them to do. Because they're the world's largest distributed manufacturer highly dependent on that movement and those credit ratings, and cash and bank."
III. Former Symbian Chief Predicts Nokia Will Come Crawling Back
The controversial analyst predicts that in six months to a year Mr. Elop will be booted and Nokia will undergo a "course correction" "back in the direction of [Symbian]."
While most of Mr. William's vehemence seems to be directed at Nokia it's impressive that he managed to claim that the world's top smartphone OS maker (Google) wasn't putting out a competent product and that the
world's top personal computer OS maker
(Microsoft) can't make a deadline.
On the one hand Nokia is indeed in a lot of trouble and one has to wonder if there isn't some truth in parts of Mr. Williams' frustrated diatribe. But at the same time some of his statements make him appear a bit out of touch with the reality that Microsoft and Google are the top dogs in the operating systems industry (along with Apple). It seems pretty unlikely that Nokia will turn back to
the Symbian "burning platform"
-- but that won't stop Symbian's ex-director from wishing Nokia would.

Welcome to Narutopedia. |
We are currently editing over 5,867 articles and 7,756 images and you can help. |
Be warned that this wiki is filled with SPOILERS about the Naruto series. This is your only warning, read at your own risk! |
Filterable lists are now working for older data, but not for newer data. We do ask that you bear with us as the issues are addressed. |
Main article: Plot of Naruto
Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen. |
As Shino Aburame explains to his class that within one week they'll be going through graduations for genin positions, the majority of the class voices their views on the opportunity. As Sarada Uchiha walks home, she begins to show jealousy over all her classmates getting training from their fathers for the coming graduation, with Chōchō Akimichi eating with her father Chōji Akimichi, Inojin Yamanaka getting drawing lessons from his father Sai, and even Boruto Uzumaki playing an expansive game of hide-and-seek with his ever busy father the Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, coupled with being given a lecture by Shikadai Nara and his father Shikamaru Nara. Read more... |
Gaara creates his Third Eye to observe the events in the Demon Desert. At the same time, Yōrō and Kegon try to convince Fū to go to the direction of the tower, with her speaking up that she wants to find some friends first. Her mind quickly changes, however, when her team-mates bring up Shibuki. Meanwhile, Gaara notices Team Matsuri, who are heading towards the tower, with Mikoshi informing his team-mates about a plan, which would involve them getting the scroll they need. As the team rushes towards the tower, they get noticed by Hōichi. Read more... |

I think you don't know Native Client enough to say this.
Native Client is an OPEN SOURCE technology which allows you to run NATIVE CODE inside your BROWSER (which no one said it is only Chrome) inside a sandbox which ensures you SECURITY by only allowing a restricted set of instructions to be run.
All the instructions executed by Native Client must be aligned and all resources used by them must pass through Pepper which exposes only the same resource that a Javascript application would have access.
This is very very different from Flash.
Flash is closed source, you must pay a huge amount of money to access the development tools and all your code must be written in ActionScript.
Since Phoronix is, in my opinion, concerned about Open Source technologies, I think that Native Client is great enough to not be talked about.
There are plenty of games, which some are from major studios and publishers that are developed to be run in Native Client and could take advantage from many of the technologies that the Open Source community develops.
In Native Client you can take advantage from OpenGL ES 2.0 API and create console quality games.
I would suggest people who don't know what NaCl is capable of, to try these games:
From Dust
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
These games, with great quality, were available to Linux users, months before Steam came to Linux.
There is nothing like that made in Flash.

After much research I decided to order this pair of sunglasses from Dicks, I received them within a few days of my order. The clarity of the lenses are awesome, I purchased these with the G30 lenses for golf but will be ordering additional lenses for everyday use. The glasses are light weight and do not slip around when playing golf, you forget you have them on. Another nice feature is they are made in the USA.

I bought these Oakley glasses for my husband to use when he jogs. He loves using them because they fit his face and do not slide down when he his jogging. He mentioned the glasses are lightweight and he doesn't notice them at all. Overall, the price of these glasses is worth the cost. They are identical to the $220.00 pair of Oakely's that were displayed in the store.

Zone Codes, Comprehensive Plan and Other Regulations
Marion County's primary zoning and land use regulations are covered in the Rural Zone Code, Urban Zone Code and Comprehensive Plan.Rural Zone Code provides regulations governing the development and use of lands in the portions of Marion County outside acknowledged urban growth boundaries - the rural areas of the County. The primary intent of these regulations is to conserve farm and forest lands for the production of crops, livestock, and timber products. The Rural Zone Code contains chapters covering each rural zone type (Exclusive Farm Use, Acreage Residential, Farm/Timber, etc.); uses allowed within each zone; development restrictions specific to each zone; and specific topics such as signs, floodplain regulations, nonconforming buildings, etc.Urban Zone Code provides regulations governing the development and use of lands in the unincorporated areas of Marion County located within urban growth boundaries. The primary intent of these regulations is to coordinate, retain and protect development of these lands for eventual urban use. Tjhe Urban Zone Code contains chapters covering each zone type for our urban areas such as Single Family Residential, Urban Transition, and Commercial Retail. These chapters include information on allowed uses and development restrictions specific to each zone. The Urban Zone Code also has chapters covering specific topcis such as signs, off-street parking and loading, landscaping, etc.Zoning Acronyms Click the link for a list of acronyms and definitions used in our zone codes. Marion County Comprehensive Plan was developed for the purpose of providing a guide to development and conservation of Marion County's land resources. It is a generalized long-range policy guide and land use map that provides the basis for decisions on the physical, social, and economic development of Marion County. These policies and statements are based on inventories, developmental limitations, projected needs, public attitudes, countywide urban growth management project framework and implementation strategy, and the State Land Conservation and Development Commission Goals and Guidelines. The Plan also coordinates the various factors which influence community development such as sewer and water, transportation, housing, commerce, industry, schools, land use, recreation and natural resources. It establishes goals and policies which recognize and plan for the interrelationships and interactions of these factors.

Giffords, a member of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, spoke to students after getting a first-hand glimpse of a facility that works closely with Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista to provide warriors with critical language and cultural skills.
"The Defense Language Institute is an integral part of the training needed by the intelligence specialists who are at the tip of the spear of our nation's defenses," Giffords said in her address. "Combined with the Culture Center and Intel Center at Fort Huachuca, the things these students learn at the Defense Language Institute make them better, more agile and more combat effective."
Giffords also met with institute faculty and students, including Crystal Little and Amy Lavelle, service members with family in the congresswoman's district.
The Defense Language Institute serves as a school for all branches of the armed forces, other members of the United States government and select foreign allies. Located in Monterey, Calif., the school is regarded as one of the best foreign language instruction programs in the world. It employs more than 1,700 instructors and teaches 24 languages and multiple dialects.
Giffords has long championed the need for language proficiency and greater cultural awareness as our military faces the unconventional threats of the post-9/11 world. She has introduced legislation aimed at boosting the number of service men and women armed with these skills.
"Cultural knowledge and linguistic ability are some of our best weapons in the epic struggle against terrorism," Giffords told institute students. "Mastering these weapons can mean the difference between victory and defeat on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan."
Thursday's graduation ceremony honored students who have completed instruction in Turkish, German, Tagalog and the Persian dialect Dari. Giffords also toured the Naval Postgraduate School with retired Vice Admiral Daniel Oliver, the school's president.
"As we begin looking at the areas of the world where terrorists and extremism have had safe havens, we are discovering the advantages that knowledge of these languages can bring," Giffords said. "When people are put into desperate situations and we seek to persuade them to choose freedom over jihad, it helps to speak their language. These service members will be on the front lines of that battle."

This former A+ list mostly movie actor who hangs on to A list strictly because of his name hates his new movie role. The role has him looking well beyond his years and as a result is having to pay for sex which he is loathe to do.
Richard Gere
No. Even if he gained weight, a lot of it, even if he lost his hair, all of it, he still wouldn't have to pay for sex.
a) his face is still handsome. But that's irrelevant, because
b) fame hos will sleep with ANY man who has money/power. He can be a complete troll. Give me a break. And yes, there are plenty of very young, very beautiful fame hos.
He is shooting a movie in which he plays a homeless man. He has to look pretty bad for the role, he grew a beard, stopped grooming himself, etc. In fact, there was an article in the NY Daily News bout how some woman gave him money thinking he really WAS homeless.
ReplyCancelKeep in mind even for celeb men there's a point after which their advancing age outstrips their fame and wealth. Sure there are some like Connery or even maybe Nicholson who have that old man charm but even they have stories of them paying. For a guy like Gere who's a jerk who's basically always gotten by on looks it believable that he could have to pay if there's a sudden steep decrease in attractiveness. They may not Always pay after that point but where they used to be able to get any girl, fewer will be able to give him a free roll. Sucks when those dudes hit the wall but it happens (looking at you Clooney).
ReplyCancelGene Simmons is in no way comparable to Richard gere. Gene Simmons was never pretty.
If gere is paying for it, it's because he wants to, not because he has to. When a man is worth a hundred million, it doesn't matter what he looks or smells like, I'm ashamed to say of my own gender, but there is always some woman who will do him simply because he is rich. However this is Richard gere, and no way he can't get laid for free. He's still attractive, he's still Richard gere and he's still filthy rich,
ReplyCancelIf he's paying, it's b/c he wants a professional (discretion, talent and no strings attached, for starters), not for lack of opportunities.
I'm willing to bet that MANY gorgeous and uninhibited women would love to spend an hour or two with him for free.
At the end of the day, an old and ragged Richard Gere is still *Richard Gere*.
ReplyCancelDidn't say he HAD to pay just that the free options fall as attractiveness goes. For a guy who's used to the cream of the crop he's prob not going to slum for the average chicks that'd do him,he'll pay to keep the relative level of talent high. Look at him like the former 10 at the club who's getting older. Sure the average schlubs still want to do her but she's used to they top guys taking a run at her. She's not going to aim lower causes in doing that she'd be admitting she's not as hot as she once was.

Four Reasons Not To Smoke
Have you noticed that a lot of restaurants don't have indoor smoking sections anymore? More and more cities, counties, and entire states are banning indoor smoking. People everywhere are getting the message: smoking causes disease and death. In fact, it is the number one preventable cause of death in this country. NIDA scientists have shown how incredibly addictive smoking is, especially when people start in their teens—which most that do, get addicted. So protect your health and avoid the hassle and...don't start. It's a no-brainer.
If you need more reasons not to smoke besides smelly clothes and yellow teeth, here you go:
- Your wallet. How can you afford that new video game if you're burning cash on cigarettes?
- Your athletic ability. Smokers run slower and can't run as far, like being old before you're old.
- Your state of mind. It takes just 8 seconds for nicotine from cigarettes to reach your brain and change the way it works. Although scientists aren't totally sure why yet, one study found that teens who smoke a lot are 15 times more likely to have panic attacks than teens who don't smoke. Teen smokers also are more likely to have anxiety disorders and depression.
- Your future. Quitting smoking is hard. But the health consequences are even harder to deal with.
If you or any of your friends smoke, know help is out there. For free quitting support, call 1–800–QUIT–NOW (1–800–784–8669).
smoking is an addiction...
reasons why not tosmoke:
1)its one less thing for you to carry around
2)save money
3)you will be a good role modle
4)have better job oppertunities
5)wont have to worry about bad breath,.....
6)if you smoke you'll probably get married to a smoker because non-smokers tend to avoid smokers
7)you wont have to worry about people not wanting to be around you becasue they dont like the smell
8)you wont be able to quite and it will casue many health issues
i think smoking is terrible and those are some pretty good examples. I found a page with 3000 reasons yes 3000. if someone can give that many reasons no one should be smoking.
Death. how about that for a good reason. Millions of people worldwide DIE every year because they inhale tobacco. That is like filling up Wrigley Field about 50 times, and then killing all those people.
It is said that if smoking did to the OUTSIDE of your body what it does to the inside, there would be almost no smokers. Partly because we all would actually get a clue as a society and make it illegal!
i watched a movie on smoking, and it was horrible.
it gave me nightmares.
i think that smoking should be banned from existence.
I think you summed up succinctly some basics that hit home with everyone. It always depressed me going through drug education classes like Drug Abuse Resistance Education in elementary and middle school, and watching the whole class nod along, only to find, a couple of years later, that many of my classmates had taken up smoking themselves. I think that, as incredibly influential as programs like D.A.R.E. can be for younger children, reminders of the basic reasons not to smoke when teens are a little bit older can be just as effective. I do see some positive trends happening, like the prohibitions against smoking in restaurants and cities mentioned in the article. As a college student now, I find that more and more of peers are aware of the health risks, and are trying to quit, and certainly aren't starting to smoke. Initiatives designed to help younger smokers quit, are really helpful. What a great post, thanks for starting a good conversation, one I think that needs to happen more often among teenagers.
Great Blog, and a great topic.
I have actually found that there is no one best way to quit smoking. If you look at sites such as [removed commercial site link, per guidelines], you will find that they promote a number of the best approaches, along with the pro's and con's of each. Best advice is to look at each, find something which works best for you and your circumstances, and then just stick with it till you are successful.
andrew your right. the way i quit is over summer i just stoped. of cours this was hard with the withdrawls (srry if did not spell right) but i greatly in proved on my sports
your right i may be 11 but I know way more than the average teen about smokeing I totally lookall kinds of things about it i even wrote my sixth grade speech about it
your right i may be 11 but I know way more than the average teen about smokeing I totally look up all kinds of things about it i even wrote my sixth grade speech about it
I agree with you, I used to be a chain smoker. I had withdrawal symptoms and had a hard time quitting, but I have overcome smoking once and for all! I did it for my kids. Aside from this, I noticed that smoking has aggravated my panic attacks. I am glad I have taken control of my health and my life again. thanks for sharing this article :-)
I love this topic my dadsmokes and I don't even know how longI've been trying to get him to quit he tryed once but it only lasted about a week and I'm still trying to get him to stop so I hope his does one day if your reading this and you smoke please stop you will thank yourself later in life if you do.
My mom smoked 80 a day and died early. All of us children decided not to smoke because of what happened to her so she did us a favour really.
All the reason you sugget, plus smoking is terrible for the breath. It is like kissing an ash tray. Great blog.
Quit four days ago, going strong. Thanks for the tips though.
I must voice my gratitude for your kind-heartedness giving support to folks who need assistance with your area. Your special commitment to passing the solution all around turned out to be exceptionally good and has regularly encouraged workers just like me to realize their targets. Your new useful suggestions can mean a great deal to me and even further to my colleagues. Thank you; from each one of us.
Quitting smoking is hard. But the health consequences are even harder to deal with, so quitting right now is the best choice.
we should not be smoking even thought we are only 11/,11,and9.
It saddens me when I see young people start such a horrible habit. As someone who works with people who struggle with anxiety and panic disorder it didn't surprise me when I read
"teens who smoke a lot are 15 times more likely to have panic attacks than teens who don't smoke. Teen smokers also are more likely to have anxiety disorders and depression."
That in itself should be enough to discourage teens from smoking. If only they knew how hard it is to live with anxiety and panic.

John Lannan faces Jonathan Sanchez in a rare 4:05 p.m. game at Nationals Park.
After Jason Marquis' shutout gem last night, what does John Lannan have in store for the Giants today? The left-hander hasn't been spectacular so far this season, but he hasn't been poor, either. Kind of typical John Lannan, to be honest, though I'm sure he expects more out of himself (especially since he's yet to reach the seventh inning in five starts).
Lannan will be facing another lefty in Jonathan Sanchez, who has yet to surrender more than three earned runs in any start this year. Jim Riggleman's lineup includes Wilson Ramos, Michael Morse and Jerry Hairston.
I'm back at the ballpark today for this rare late-afternoon start (Fox has the 1-4 p.m. TV window, which explains the 4:05 p.m. first pitch), so check back for updates throughout…
GIANTS at NATIONALS
Where: Nationals Park
Gametime: 4:05 p.m.
Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WFED (1500 AM), XM 188
Weather: Sunny, 67 degrees, Wind 9 mph in from LF
2B Danny Espinosa
CF Rick Ankiel
RF Jayson Werth
1B Adam LaRoche
- SonnyG10 - Apr 30, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Let's take another one from the Giants!!! Go Nats!
- Knoxville Nat - Apr 30, 2011 at 5:27 PM
Does the 4:05 start have more to do with Fox televison or maybe the time zone difference to the west coast?
- Doc - Apr 30, 2011 at 5:28 PM
Even though the Nats are up against lefty Sanchez, I thought that Riggleman would put Nix in LF and Morse at 1B. Nix doesn't traditionally do well against LHPs but maybe he has a hot bat! LaRoche struck out, what 3X last night, against a righty!
- Grandstander - Apr 30, 2011 at 6:12 PM
There's no reason to take LaRoche's defense out of the game, especially if you're substituting him with another lefty. I suspect Nix will be in there if there's double-switch opportunity late in the game.Also, Knoxville, the start time is only about Fox, which normally takes the 4-7 time slot but has the 1-4 time slot today, pushing our afternoon game back.

- Bill B - Apr 30, 2011 at 6:34 PM
This is just curiosity, but why does Fox having a 1-4 slot push us back? Is it that there can't be any competing TV broadcasts or something?
- Knoxville Nat - Apr 30, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Grandstander…thanks for making that clear and Bill B, yes, when Fox has the window no other game can be televised. That much I knew but wasn't sure what the Fox game was this week.
- Doc - Apr 30, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Whatever the Fox box has on isn't as important as what we're gonna see with the Nats v. Giants!Gooooooooooooooooooo Nats!

Word is coming from several sources that Ryan Zimmerman needs surgery and if so will be out until the all star break. Looks like that second opinion found something after all. Sports hernia is what I think they saidFarid
- Knoxville Nat - Apr 30, 2011 at 7:15 PM
If Zimmerman is out until the all star break it is even more imperative that the Nats continue to play good defense, get good starting pitching and timely hitting. Here's hoping that LaRoche, Morse, Werth, et al start to heat up with the lumber.
- Cwj - Apr 30, 2011 at 7:26 PM
Remember that LaRoche is a notorious slow starter.He'll heat up. And I can't say enough about his defense. It really does seem like he makes great scoops/backhands/catches every single game.Go Nats!
- Anonymous8 - Apr 30, 2011 at 7:45 PM
Surprised Desmond isn't batting in the 2 hole. LH Sanchez against LH Ankiel?
- Richard - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:06 PM
I guess the Nats don't have much choice re a leadoff man. The BA and more importantly the OBP of the leadoff position has got to be well south of Mendoza. Frustrating to watch. Odd how this year it's the starting pitching that's keeping the leaky boat afloat. One hole fixed, another one opens. I still question the move to go with Ankiel in CF and dump Morgan, without, say, a two month trial to see if he could regain most of the 2009 form.
- Wally - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:21 PM
Some random thoughts: Ankiel should not be playing everyday. We knew that in ST and it is more apparent now. The Nats seem to get absolutely no calls from the umpires. Despond's play in the first was perfect Desi. He ranged hard to his right, made a great backhanded stop, and flung a mostly hard throw in the dirt. LaRoche made a fantastic scoop, so it was an out. But he could have easily missed it, which would have been an error for Desi. But I repeat something that I have said before : I would not want Desi holding that ball to avoid an error and concede the base. I hope he never gets so gun-shy about errors that he stops trying that play. And before anyone bashes me, I know that is not his only problem.I wonder if Zimm's injury gives Rizzo license to give up on the season and trade any vet of value.
- Knoxville Nat - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:24 PM
Richard,Strictly speaking about the leadoff position in the batting order I can follow what you say. However batting first is only one component of Morgan's game and unfortunately for him the rest of his skills are simply lacking. Ankiel brings a professional attitude and work ethic to the park every day, excellent defense and a gun for an arm in CF. Is he the ideal CF that the Nats would like? No, not even close but given the alternatives on the roster I don't think they had any other choice at this time.
- Candide - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Sanchez walks four batters – three straight – and Morse swings at the first pitch. Argh!
- Anonymous8 - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:31 PM
Come on Morse, you don't swing at that 1st pitch!

You can not be serious. The pitcher walks four batters in the inning, shouldn't you at least see first couple of pitches to know whether he continues to struggle or not. First pitch and you ground out with bases loaded? Isn't there something like common sense in baseball?

Seven walks and two HBP; should be leading by a lot more than 1-0. I don't have a good feeling about how this game is going to end up.
- FS - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:48 PM
It is going to be painful to watch this offense in Ryan's continuing absence. They might be planning to set a record for scoring least runs with most runners on or something.
- Anonymous8 - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:48 PM
This is what we were talking about after Thursday's win, the lack of clutch hitting. Werth had balls to drive and then strikes out looking with bases loaded. Sure the ump didn't help but this is a sidebar to the Nats season.Nats should have in 3 to 4 runs for sure, just sayin'.
- Andrew - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:51 PM
No more Pablo Sandoval. Broken Hamate bone!!!!
- NG - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:55 PM
Just FYI, It's Mike Fontenot playing short for SF today that dropped the throw and Ankiel's single. Tejada is playing third with Sandoval apparently injured.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:58 PM
My complaint about Rich Eckstein will continue until he gets his people hitting with RISP at a descent rate. He is the number problem on the team presidential, as the team doctor's have taken over number 1.. Three weeks wasted not diagnosing Zim right. That is inexcusable. What is being operated on is not the oblique which they claimed was the problem. Come one read the MRIs correctly. That is your job.
- FS - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:58 PM
There you go, one swing by a Giant and we have a tied game. It does seem like those first two innings will haunt us later.
- Gonats - Apr 30, 2011 at 8:59 PM
Carolync, cwj, and a few others were fine after the 4-3 win on Tuhrsday against the Mets with missed opportunities so long as you win.I say that is garbage. You take the runs and make your life easier and win by several runs.
- fpcsteve - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:01 PM
Here is what I like about Ankiel: He's professional in his effort and deportment. What you see is what you get. Is he the long-term answer in CF? No. But for the time being I don't miss Nyjer Morgan.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:03 PM
Another strike out called. The Nats must lead the league in that stat. No excuses ever for that.Starting to look like they are going to let Sanchez off the hook. Maybe next inning someone will step up and start hitting. This non hitting is getting old.

Great play by Lannan in the top of the 4th for a double play 1-6.Another called 3rd strike. When are we going to learn to swing at third strikes. At least Lannan did that.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:18 PM
BTW: Burrell did the right thing Posey didn't. he stopped and let Lannan tag him. He should have been going to third and Burrell would have made it to second to wonder what was wrong with Burrell is crazy. I wondered what was wrong with Posey.
- fpcsteve - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:20 PM
I would suggest that the point is that no one can script or guarantee success. The very best big leaguers fail 7 out of every 10 at bats. Ted Williams said hitting was the single hardest feat in sport. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. That's life, and that's why baseball is so compelling. It imitates life. Just a thought…
- Gonats - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:26 PM
Maybe Werth should bunt with Ankiel on…..

Another horrible at-bat by Werth with a 2-1 count. What is wrong with this guy. Maybe he should have bunted!!!!!!!!
- fpcsteve - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:28 PM
ESPN Gamecast made Ankiel's hit look like a bit of good hitting? Any opinions?

Nice hit by Ankiel. Real bad approach by Werth all game and LaRoche just looks lost.

RISP (I could be off one though I think I am right is now 1 for 7. Lead off double and there isn't even a hint of someone moving him along.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:41 PM
FP he took the the pitch and put it down the left line because it was on the outer half. It was good hitting.I would gladly take .300 RISP. Ours is barely .100

- Wally - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:44 PM
@fcpsteve – yes, I thought Ankiel had a nice AB. Stayed within himself.Ramos has been having some very high quality at bats. Great one against Sanchez to draw a walk. I have been very impressed with the pitches he takes. Looking like a high OBP guy. That hasn't been his rep, so I am not sure if he learned something or it is small sample size. That can be quite a package for a catcher if it holds up.
- fpcsteve - Apr 30, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Lannan is at 67 pitches after 6 innings–nice. Looks like he is on track for 8 innings. Another good job of pitching (after last night).

I hate intentional walks. Then follow that walking a guy who is 3 for his last 31. What a stupid way to end a good day of pitching by Lannan. With hitting as pathetic as the Nats have been this year, you cannot afford to pitch anything less than near perfect.
- Anonymous - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Why did Riggleman just intentionally walk a weak hitting catcher WHILE Aubrey Huff was on deck? That one is a head scratcher…

- Cwj - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:17 PM
@Gonats – Ever heard of the hit-less wonders? Obviously it would be great to score 10 runs a game, but pitching and defense almost guarantees a .500 record.And with Zim gone, and the fact the Nats are not expected to contend this year, I'll take all the 3-2, 4-3, 2-1 wins any day.That was my point the other day.
- Cwj - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:19 PM
It's actually pretty funny that the World Champion Giants are having a similar season to the Nats so far. All pitch, no hit
- Cwj - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:22 PM
I really don't know what to think of Riggleman anymore. On some days he seems like a genius with the "small ball". Yet he (often) just makes really stupid decisions.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:24 PM
Not hitting is bad enough but the hitting approach is the real problem. This has been a problem for at least 3 year and is not being addressed. Why is Eckstein still there? The old he works hard excuse is getting old. I would rather have someone who works less hard, but productively than someone who works hard and not productively. Everyone around the Nats seems to buy the work hard excise as acceptable.I can't wait to get someone else there.Pitching in general has been very good, and fielding has had good and bad moments. Hitting pretty much only bad moments.
- fpcsteve - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Lannan and Ankiel should go out for a beer after the game. Everyone else should go home.

- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:32 PM
Lannan and Ankiel can go home, the others make them work out. They need the practice. Actually all pitchers can go home. Alll batters but Ankiel stay and practice.
- JaneB - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:32 PM

- dj in Fl. - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:55 PM
I remember JaneB relating to us the comment she got from a scout at ST. We have no offense. That was when we even had Zim. So winning by multiple runs should be the least of our concerns. Pitching, playing defense, and scratching out runs better than the other team is how we will win.
- Jim Webster - Apr 30, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Cut Riggleman a little slack, all ye who helped drive Manny Acta out of here. And while we're at it, check Manny's record at Cleveland so far this year.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 30, 2011 at 11:07 PM
I will not cut him slack. His job is to win. here. His hitting coach is awful, and he defends him all the time. Acta's team in Cleveland are hitting. Had the Nats hit he would have won more.RisP 1 for 8. That is the sign if a hitting coach is coaching, how batters do then.At least LaROche swhung, I would have been totally ticked had he took it.On the bright side the pitching and fielding were fine.
- Anonymous - Apr 30, 2011 at 11:09 PM

Riggleman says OUT LOUD, "you guys have more respect for Zimmermann than I do." (in a post game interview about the loss of Zimm for a good long time, in case you didnt see it). ummm. Nice to know. I think he was trying to say "no big deal," but IT IS, and telling an untruth (which I hope that was) isn't the way to go. At least he owned that he should have put in Clippard earlier. But still…way to go, dissing the face of the franchise. Good thing I'm not a Lerner, because if dibble Dibble for his Strasburg comment, you dibble Riggs for that one.

Well one of the two questions I wanted to know the answer to Rggleman was asked. What the heck was with the intentional walk. He says he guessed he should have brought in Clippard. Two games this week he brings a reliever in too late.The other question, what on earth was Morse doing swinging on the first pitch after two straight walks. ANy of us who played Little League learned not to do that. What is the repercussions for not following a cardinal rule of baseball? You just forget it? I guess we will see. Do they have Kangaroo courts like Frank Robinson led when he played for the Orioles anymore?

Who is Riggleman fooling. I know none of the players agonize about a loss as much as most fans do. They sit happy with their pay checks, and we are disgusted to the next game. I know I care more than they do, and I think most of you do too.

- FS - May 1, 2011 at 12:46 AM
I am glad this loss does not hurt the players as much as it hurts us. Playing baseball requires a certain level of mental toughness. Players are dealing with win and loss at every pitch they face, every pitch they throw, or every pitch they field. So yeah, they would not last a game, if players agonize as much as us fans. I am sure they all hate losing but they have to pick themselves up and perform to their potential every day.
- natsfan1a - May 1, 2011 at 1:23 AM
That was a tough loss. I was making a similar statement at the game about the Kangaroo Court after the Morse at-bat (actually, I was commenting before the at-bat that I'd seen him swing at the first pitch with a struggling pitcher and hoped he wouldn't do so – oops). Also commented at the time about the squandered opportunities in the first two innings coming back to bite us, which they did. On another note, was cool to see Rodriguez, I agree.On a Giants note, I wonder whether Ford, who pinch ran for the Giants and later singled, had his first MLB hit at that time? It looked like Hairston was going to throw the ball into the stands but then he threw it into the Giants dugout instead.Also on a Giants note, I tried to tell our batters not to fear the beard when Wilson came in for the save, but they ignored me.
- phil dunn - May 1, 2011 at 1:26 AM
Scoring just one run when the Giants gave the Nats 13 gifts (9 walks. 3 hit batters and an error) is beyond pathetic. This sorry bunch of players should hang their heads in shame. If it wasn't for the error, the Nats would have been shut out. The Nats finally draw a decent crowd and they crap all over themselves. Righting the ship is a monumental task but I would certainly start by firing Riggleman and Eckstein.

Does it support kernel 2.6.9 yet?
Phoronix: NVIDIA 190.xx Linux Driver Leaks Onto The Web
The latest stable NVIDIA Linux driver release is in the 185.xx series, but NVIDIA developers have been hard at work on the forthcoming 190.xx driver series. Among other features, this next major driver update is expected to bring their talked about OpenCL support.It will probably be some weeks still before NVIDIA even publicly releases a Linux driver in the 190.xx series, but currently for those that are under NDA with NVIDIA, they have early access as a registered developer...
Does it support kernel 2.6.9 yet?
Thank you mother Russia.
This driver also supports OpenGL 3.1, but it doesn't appear to support OpenCL (yet?).
I have attempted to package this driver for Debian/Ubuntu systems, but the wrong 32-bit package was leaked (I would have needed the "-pkg0" one), so it only builds properly on amd64
I don't buy this. How can a beta binary just leak out like that? How do I know this guy didn't just modify the current binary driver to appear as 190x. I mean, if he could get the binary somehow, why stop there? Steal the damn source as well next time.
Drivers like this leak from closed beta programs or from partners of nVidia who have access to early releases. You will not see any source code of proprietary drivers. Leaks like this one happen daily-weekly for the Windows versions of nVidia/AMD's graphics drivers.
OnTo: Funny that after the AMD leaks now nVidia is suffering as well. But Michael even promotes the leak, nVidia won't be happy
I tried this driver... and after 20 seconds of playing x-plane, the X server was restarting...
I went back to 185 series.
I'm having problems with 185.xx series (X crashing), hope they are fixed now.
In meantime I'll be using good old 180.xx

Connection timeout error message on Cloud Sites
When serving content from your Cloud Sites, you may occasionally receive the "Connection timed out - please try again" error. We're here to shed a little light on this issue, and tell you about the steps we have taken to mitigate the problem, and steps that customers can take to improve their experience.
What Does It Mean?
"Connection timed out – please try again" is an error message that is received as a result of a script exceeding the maximum timeout value. If a client connection does not receive a response from the server after approximately thirty seconds, the load balancer will close the connection and the client will immediately receive the error message. In most cases, the script will continue to execute until it reaches completion, throws an error, or times out on the server; but the client will not see the page load as expected and will instead receive the "connection timed out..." error.
Why It Happens
- "Connection timed out – please try again" can be a difficult issue to troubleshoot, especially across all customer use cases. If you are seeing timeouts intermittently, it is recommended that you audit your code as intermittent timeouts are often indicative of code that may need to be optimized and/or broken down into smaller pieces. For instance, if the code is inserting several records into a database, try inserting a few records at a time and then sending back a response to the client's browser.
- For a longer running script in PHP, the 'exec' function can be used to run the script in the background and write its status to a database or a file. Then you could use AJAX to display a loading bar and check the script's status. Once completed, you can then remove the loading bar and proceed to a completion page. (This is just an example, but the concept is good for any situation.) Another option is to run the script as a cron job using PHP or Perl instead of HTTP, which circumvents the load balancer's timeout.
- Another common cause of this error is when a site is trying to load files that don't exist (404 errors). This dramatically slows a site down and in rare cases can cause a timeout. More commonly, a site that is loading data from an external location will see load issues causing a timeout. For instance, if a site relies on Google Analytics, Authorize.net, or PayPal and for some reason these corresponding services go down or begin responding slowly, the site will see a performance hit that in some cases can cause the page not to load or to load intermittently. (Keep in mind that all sorts of plugins for content management systems like Wordpress and Joomla use third-party services behind the scenes, such as bit.ly and Twitter.)
- It's also a possibility that the script simply uses a heavy amount of resources. If this is a PHP site, you may need to increase the memory limit to something more appropriate for your site. For more information, you can read our Knowledge Center article on Changing the PHP Memory Limit Value.
- If you're not familiar with using an .htaccess file, you may take a look at these resources for using the .htaccess file.
- In extremely rare cases, you may see this error message due to an invalid cookie being stored by your browser. This will cause you to see the error message on pages that initiate a session on your site (such as login or member pages--or sometimes even your homepage). Although rare, it's a good idea to clear your browser cache and try the page again to verify that this is not the case.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that data must be sent back to the client's browser to keep the connection alive. So regardless of what sort of processing a page is doing, it must return data frequently or the load balancer will assume the connection has been dropped and will forcefully terminate it. Put simply, there will be some limitations of the shared architecture of Cloud Sites that will not allow us to resolve all issues for all customers.
What Rackspace Is Doing About It
- We've updated and made improvements to the Linux kernel for speed and stability.
- We have simplified and upgraded our caching infrastructure to move it closer to the edge node.
- We've increased the PHP memory allocation to improve performance.
- We've enabled compiling and caching of PHP scripts to speed up performance.
- We have moved PHP session state storage to a faster, dedicated system.
- We've implemented safe guards to prevent long running queries on MySQL from impacting multiple customers.
- And finally, we've implemented safe guards on PHP processes to prevent them from impacting multiple customers.

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Alvin Gentry: Only we can fix ourselves
The Phoenix Suns have struggled the entire season, but the majority of their woes has come away from home.
The Suns have lost their last ten road games, and hold a 2-15 record away from US Airways Center.
Wednesday night doesn't get any easier for Alvin Gentry and his team, as the Suns travel to Boston to face an emotional Celtics team on a three-game winning streak.
The coach joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo show Wednesday afternoon, and explained his team has the ability to put it together, but only they have the power to turn it around.
"The only people that can play their way out of this thing is us," Gentry emphasized. "And we've got to do it collectively as a group."
The Suns' 108-99 loss in Milwaukee to the Bucks Tuesday night showed signs of progress on offense, but the team still failed to put together a full 48 minutes.
"We did play well," Gentry said. "We've had great looks and just hadn't been able to get them in the basket. We just have to find a way to maintain."
Proficiency seems to be a killer for the Suns' momentum at the end of games, and Gentry expressed an understanding of how that has hurt his team's chances.
"We just have to be able to execute at the end of the game," he said. "We have not been able to come up with big shots, or big baskets, or big rebounds. That has been the biggest Achilles heel for us."
After being one of the top three-point shooting teams in the NBA over the last few years, the Suns currently rank 28th out of 30 teams in three-point percentage with a mark of 32.9%.
Gentry says with the absence of forward Channing Frye and his ability to spread the court, someone needs to step up.
"The guy made a ton of threes for us over the last three seasons," Gentry said. "We need that weapon in order to open up the floor."
Gentry and his staff continue to look for viable options for combinations on the court to boost the Suns' performance.
"We have to keep searching as coaches to find the combination that's going to be best for us," he said. "All the emphasis has got to be placed on performing on the floor."
With the recent reports of the Suns looking for trade options, Gentry said he's going move forward with who he has for now.
"Until that happens, we have who we have," Gentry said. "We have to take these guys and do the very best we can with them.
"We have to find a way to dig ourselves out of this."
