When a pastor is chosen by a congregation his doctrinal views are carefully examined prior to his approval as a pastoral candidate. Since I have personally endorsed Mitt Romney in his candidacy for President, being an evangelical an explanation is warranted. I am not in agreement with differing views of my religious doctrinal positions. Yet the summary of my position is simple and easy to understand. Mitt Romney is running for President not Pastor, his theological views are not required to be examined in his quest for office.
John Kennedy faced this challenge as a Catholic seeking the same office in 1960. Reverend Herbert Meza, a Presbyterian chaired nominee Kennedy's appearance before some 300 ministers and a similar number of observers. His speech was honestly presented and dealt with this question comprehensively for all present to hear. His response in as relevant today as it was in the past.
"I believe in an America where the separation of Church and State is absolute-where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be a Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote-where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference-and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
That is the kind of America in which I believe-And it represents the kind of Presidency in which I believe-a great office that must be neither humbled by making it the instrument of any religious group, nor tarnished by arbitrary withholding its occupancy from members of any religious group. I believe in a President whose views on religion are his own private affairs, neither imposed upon him by the nation or imposed upon him as a condition to holding that office.
If my church attempted to influence me in any way which was improper or which affected adversely my responsibilities as a public servant, sworn to uphold the Constitution, then I would reply to them that this was an improper action on their part, that it was one to which I could not subscribe, that I was opposed to it, and that it would be an unfortunate breech-an interference with the American political system. I am confident there will be no such interference." Kennedy further stated if he found any conflict between his conscience and the responsibility of the Presidency, he would resign the office.
John F. Kennedy was running for President, not to be made a clergyman. So is Mitt Romney.

If the rain holds off, Livan Hernandez will face Joe Blanton tonight at Nationals Park.
When you're going up against the four-time defending NL East champions, you'd like to have your best lineup available. Unfortunately, that's not going to be the case for the Nationals tonight. Not only is Ryan Zimmerman on the DL with a strained abdominal muscle, Adam LaRoche is out with a mild groin strain and Michael Morse is out with flu-like symptoms.
So the heart of the Nationals' lineup includes Matt Stairs, Wilson Ramos and Laynce Nix. Jerry Hairston is at third base today, but Jim Riggleman said that will be a revolving door between Hairston, Alex Cora and Morse. Jesus Flores, just called up from Class AAA Syracuse, will be used mostly as a pinch-hitter. Riggleman said Flores will also get some work during batting practice at first base, just in case he's needed there at some point.
The forecast tonight doesn't look good, but it doesn't look bad enough for the Nats to call the game off in advance. In other words, bring your parka and be prepared for some delays.
Updates to come…

- Peyton Dowdy - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:32 PM
Watch em go and score 12 runs with the most ridiculous lineup of the year.Go Nats!
- Steveospeak - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:36 PM
With this lineup the Nats should be hoping they can call the game due to rain.With LaRoche ailing and Morse sick, it makes even less sense to bring up Flores. Bixler could legitimately fill in at every position. And Bernadina could allow both Hairston and Cora in the infield (not that makes it an ideal situation). Flores really doesn't do anything for the Nats lineup issues.
- The Michael - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:37 PM
Stairs at 1B? Gold help us all! Tonight is must see TV.
- joemktg - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:40 PM
Ponderous man, ponderous. Zim's out 3 weeks: get Espy into the top portion of the lineup, put Pudge at 1B (guess Riggs didn't read Pudge's stats vs. Phillies that Mark posted). Just a strange, weak lineup.
- masnstinks - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:42 PM
That is one ugly line-up. And it's a cold, rainy Tuesday night. Not exactly what Jayson Werth had in mind for our first game against the phils when he signed that contract.
- Nattydread - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:46 PM
Scary. Please let it rain.
- Naterial Guy - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:46 PM
Heck, I like Stairs, but if we were willing to use a roster spot for a DH (Matt Stairs) why didn't we just keep Adam Dunn as a Bench Pplayer? He could have played Outfield or First Base in a pinch better than Stairs!!Oh well we probably weren't going to sweep them anyway.Go Nats!
- Grandstander - Apr 12, 2011 at 8:58 PM
So, whoever can tell me why Severino isn't on the Syracuse roster, and Syracuse's website has Bixler as being on the 40-man roster gets a cookie.
- Anonymous - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:11 PM
Remember the ad campaigns all winter? Washington Nationals – Expect it.I did my best. I tried to expect it. But this? This I did not expect.
- Steveospeak - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:15 PM
@ GrandstanderSeverino is I believe still working down in Florida, and if I remember correctly the Nats thought his arm was a little tired, and they are letting him rest down at their team facility. I don't know any time table for him to be back to pitching in the minors.As for Bixler being on the 40-man, that is a problem with Milb.com they list a ton of minor leaguers as on a 40-man when they aren't any longer. For instance J.D. Martin is still listed on the 40 man, as is I believe Matt Chico. It's not fully updated so hopefully it will be soon, because that threw me as well.
- Ernie - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:15 PM
What's the average age of this lineup? This might be the oldest set of 9 players we've ever fielded. Until Pudge gets his start tomorrow, of course.
- Richard - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:20 PM
On this wet, soggy day, as we wait for the Nats, I was wondering what the Nats Insider crew thinks about F.P. Santangelo's commentary. I think whoever hired him deserves a very large medal. I've enjoyed his commentary very much and especially his perspective on hitting; it's a pro hitter's approach and thought process. Great stuff.
- Dave - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:29 PM
@ richard RE: F.P+1
- Original Nats Fan - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:30 PM
F.P.has really grown on me. He has an understated sense of humor. He talks so quietly that you almost miss the insight he's sharing.
- Anonymous - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:38 PM
Why do people keep making a big deal out of Bixler? In 166 plate appearances in the majors he has a .475 OPS ad has K'd 62 of those at bats.Not to mention his 11 errors in 386 innings in the field.In case you were wondering, his rate of errors is the same rate that Desmond had a SS last year that everybody complained about so much. Bixler is not the answer people.If you were going to bring a right handed hitting minor league infield utility guy up and add them to the 40 roster I'd rather have Seth Bynum over him for his power.
- Grandstander - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Steveospeak, I owe you a cookie.I've been pleasantly surprised by FP. A lot of good insight, but not too overbearing. Kind of like the anti-Dibble. He's gotta brush up on his trivia chops though.
- carolync - Apr 12, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Perhaps Peyton Dowdy is right. This situation may just be bad enough to make our players rise to the occasion.Stairs has played quite a bit of 1B in his career with a decent fld% so that move is not as ridiculous as it sounds. Course he's no taller than Pudge so we have to hope Desmond is having one of his good nights.Worst part as usual will be the Phillies fans.Go Nats!
- David - Apr 12, 2011 at 10:30 PM
I don't mind FP, except that he sounds like a high schooler. Seriously the first time I hard his voice on air, I thought to myself "Who let the intern on the mic?".
- WhatNat - Apr 12, 2011 at 10:32 PM
I've grown to really like FP. Some of his lines are surprisingly funny. As he relaxed in the job he's gotten really good.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 12, 2011 at 10:39 PM
All I can say is at least the game is on WJFK for a change.Go Nats.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 12, 2011 at 10:42 PM
Second comment. I wrote to complain to WJFK for being the flagship stations but wimping out on weekday afternoon games. Like who cares about Dukes and LaVar. Put real sports on not sports talk. As expected, no one bothered to reply.
- Drew8 - Apr 12, 2011 at 10:55 PM
It's the reverse lock lineup!
- Sunderland - Apr 12, 2011 at 11:06 PM
I'm OK with FP. It's a tough job to be interesting day after day. The radio situation does stink. And for once, it's MLB that has the best option. $15 for the whole year on your phone or computer.Kinda glad to be home, warm and dry tonight.
- dj in Fl. - Apr 12, 2011 at 11:19 PM
So Matt can't field! Well, I will take that kind of no glove any day.Look like a pitchers duel tonight.
- JD - Apr 12, 2011 at 11:27 PM
Desmond is just a disaster at leadoff.
- phildunn - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:04 AM
Ramos is the real deal!
- Anonymous - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:04 AM
Is Ramos this good, a legitimate 5-6 hitter in a good lineup? I'm interested to see how he does as his playing time picks up.
- JD - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:10 AM
I think Ramos is definitely a legit major league catcher and hitter. Most project him to hit around .260 – .270 with decent power. Ideally he should hit around 6th or 7th.
- JD - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:15 AM
Squeeze… good call by Riggleman.
- N. Cognito - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:17 AM
Ian Desmond will never be a good hitter until he stops trying to pull everything.
- Yuri Gagarin - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:20 AM
I suspect one reason there aren't many Nats fans at the game is they don't want to have to put up with all the Phillies fans. Have to admit I'm guilty of this.
- JD - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:22 AM
N.cognito he may want to take a pitch now and then. I think he should swap places with Espinosa for now; the latter has much more productive at bats for the most part.
- NatsNut - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:24 AM
Okay boys. You got a good lead, but stay with us. Don't relax for even a minute.
- dj in Fl. - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:30 AM
I like the production at the bottom of the order and would not want to mess with it.They just have to knock it into Desmonds head to hit line drives to right. He seems to be swinging for the fence every time.Go Livo. Pitch all 9 tonight.
- NatinBeantown - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:33 AM
Livo K's Howard on 67 and 61 mph curves and then an 85 mph fastball. Suck on it, Fangraphs. The man is an artist.
- Anonymous - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:38 AM
Like "Yuri" above, I didnt go to tonight's game b/c of the Phillies fans — hubby and a friend are there. Mind you, it's not the Phillies themselves I can't tolerate, its the fans. I'm warm at home tonight but will be at Friday's game!
- joemktg - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:53 AM
something special going on tonight
- JD - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:53 AM
Wow. Clippard is on I just hope his arm doesn't fall off like last year.
- Grandstander - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:00 AM
I also didn't go today specifically because of the Philly fans. Any other team I'm there, regardless of weather. If Kasten wants Philly fans to buy our tickets, he can sell them mine. I like to enjoy my games.
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:15 AM
I think Morse's walk was a great AB and then Ramo's walk was icing!
- dj in Fl. - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:24 AM
We've come a long way!First walk by our staff at the 8 1/3 inning mark.Remember when our staff thought that was how to begin each inning.
- rmoore446 - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:31 AM
I'm still not feeling great about this as we let them creep back into the game. We need to beat this bunch!
- rmoore446 - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:38 AM
That insurance run from the bottom of the order really helps. Another would be even better!
- NatsNut - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:44 AM
Agreed. I have been holding my breath since the 7th inning.
- fpcsteve - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:47 AM
Zimmerman's replacements tonight (Hairston and Cora) have been solid. Good night for the bench. Good night for the vets. Go Nats!
- JaneB - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:47 AM
MARK WROTE:For the record, this makeshift lineup everybody was panning earlier this afternoon has produced seven runs, nine hits and five walks.Point taken. Because if I had read this earlier, I would have been whining too. I love Livo, thank Blanton, and hope for the curlie W to be posted soon.
- RickH - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:55 AM
Way to go, Nats!!!
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:57 AM
Nice,nice win! First base ump really tried to make it interesting,eh? Very bad call. Hey, is three in a row a streak, Mr. Werth?
- dj in Fl. - Apr 13, 2011 at 1:59 AM
Good managing all the way around tonight. Everyone appeared to understand their responsibility, and went out and met the expectations, of the manager, not necessarily of those who comment here.Way to go boys.
- A DC Wonk - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:06 AM
Great day for Werth to break out of his little slump. Gotta love that the Nats can do the little things right (squeezes, pitchers not giveing up walks). Improved defense. Improved bench. Those things add up.And beating that Phttht team is always great!
- josh f - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:07 AM
Really needed this one. Beating the Phillies is always sweet, and to do it tonight, without Zim and LaRoche, is even sweeter.
- FS - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:15 AM
WOW let us not forget the real hero here, that is Livan Hernandez. That guy, like someone said earlier, is an artist. I want to see Howard's strikeout now since it involved couple of curveballs. If Danny can maintain or improve his OBP over next couple of series, I say move him into two spot after Desmond, and move Werth and co down one spot in the lineup. Then Werth can really do the job he was hired for, drive in runs not be driven in by Ryan or Adam. Oh and eager to see how Werth performs against Halladay and Lee. Glad to see him knock Blanton around.
- natsfan1a - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:16 AM
Atta team, Nats!
- Andrew - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:17 AM
The Nats kept the Phillies away from the big inning. Even with a few bobbled balls and botched plays, they didn't throw the ball away. I liked during the 8th when Espi delivered the ball to Desi at 2nd a high relay that Desi ate the ball. That is progress as last year Desi would have thrown it away.I also commend Riggleman for pulling Clippard as quick as he did. This was a must win with Halladay and Cliff Lee in the next 2 games.
- Anonymous8 - Apr 13, 2011 at 2:20 AM

What a nice win… .500 baseball thru tonight anyway. Wonderful to see our backup guys playing so well.I also have come to like FP…so glad we don't have to listen to Ray Knight as the color man. He's a fine fellow, but I like for him to stay with the pre- and post-game shows.

Sleep tight Nats fans—two more wins to go against the Demented Philly Nation!
- Anonymous - Apr 13, 2011 at 3:03 AM
I'm so glad I don't have to hear "HE SHOULD'VE THROWN [the pitch he did not throw]" from that meathead. When I first heard the Nats hired a man named "Frank-Paul Santangelo" I was afraid he was the wrong kind of upgrade from Dibble. But thank God.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Apr 13, 2011 at 3:38 AM
I'm happy.

I ended up going at the last minute thanks to a customer who had extra tickets. It was a small crowd, but a good one. Lots of Phillies fans, but only saw a couple of obnoxious ones. This was a better game than I expected since our lineup featured three hitters (Stairs, Hairston, and Livo) hitting .000 coming in.
- Anonymous - Apr 13, 2011 at 3:55 AM
I was there tonight. It's time for you wussies sitting at home, warm in front of your TV, to come out and help the Nats win. I detest the Phillies' scum in Nats Park, but I am man enough to go to the park and cheer our team on. Are you?
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Apr 13, 2011 at 5:08 AM
And yet you aren't willing to keep a coherent identity…

- N. Cognito - Apr 13, 2011 at 10:54 AM
I almost went to the game. I chose to stay home because it looked like it was gonna be one of those cold rainy games with rain delays. I HATE those games. I figured I'd just swap my tickets for one of the unused ticket exchange dates.
- MC 703 - Apr 13, 2011 at 12:37 PM
Did anyone hear Philly fans boo Ramos as he went back to the screen for an out of play popup? I'm not sure what inning it was I had just gotten in the car but it was right after the inning where Morse and Ramos walked.

Show Day, Santiago
26 February 2006
Show Day, Santiago
The alarm went off a little earlier than I would have liked and I got up to face my commute to work. Bit of an odd one today as my commute was from Argentina to Chile and back, including the most picturesque view of the Andes, with a stadium gig thrown in. I cant imagine I'll ever have another time in my life when Ill fly over the Andes twice in one day. Commendably rock & roll if not terribly eco-friendly.
I would have liked to have spent more time in Santiago, but circumstances conspired for me to only have the briefest of visits this time round, being in the country for slightly less than 11 hours. The band had had a busy old day, what with meeting the outgoing president Ricardo Lagos in the morning then receiving an award from the incoming president, Michelle Bachelet, in the afternoon.
This venue brings with it an enormous amount of baggage, having been used extensively as a torture prison by Pinochet in the 70s & 80s: imagine playing a show at Guantanamo Bay and youre somewhere close. The promoters do a sterling job of brightening the place up, but the ghosts are still there. Ive been here a few times and being short of time today the buildings history was the furthest thing from my mind. All the same, I involuntarily found myself extremely and uncharacteristically tense - I didnt even notice till Frances felt it coming off me and asked what was up. Hopefully someday soon Chile will get its own new national stadium and put this place to rest.
The gig, however, was stupendous, one of the best of the tour. We pulled the sides off the mix position again so we could be amongst the people and I loved it. Earlier, at about 7pm, The Edge was handed a charango, a small, lute-like ten stringed instrument which is native to these parts. The fact he didnt even know how to tune it, even less play it, didnt stop him from noodling around on it, in the way that he does. By show-time he had something figured out, then he and Bono came out after the encore break and performed 'Mothers of the Disappeared' on charango and vocal. Most impressive, very moving and it brought the house down, so any ancient bad vibe was undoubtedly conquered, at least temporarily.
After the show we did a runner back to Buenos Aires. Getting from the mix position to backstage was an adventure as the place was absolutely heaving. In the end, the best route involved leaving the stadium entirely through a side tunnel then running around the outside of the building. Late flight, late night.

I am an oncologist who specializes in treating patients with multiple myeloma and related disorders. I am interested in understanding how cancers such as multiple myeloma are able to evade the immune system. My research focuses on learning how some treatments reverse this process and on developing innovative ways to use the immune system to treat multiple myeloma.
The advent of many new treatments in the past ten years makes this a very exciting time for physicians taking care of patients with multiple myeloma. Our team of myeloma specialists and support staff offers the newest treatments through a broad range of clinical trials to advance the level of care and improve the chance of a good outcome for all of our patients.

Congratulations to Anna and John Sie and Michelle and Tom Whitten on their successful Be Beautiful, Be Yourself Gala held this past week at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, DC. The Sie and Whitten families are tremendous advocates for people with Down syndrome, and not surprisingly, supporters of Special Olympics. Like Special Olympics events, the Gala celebrated people's differences in an inclusive, fun, and engaging way. Many Special Olympics athletes walked across the stage to uproarious applause, flashing cameras, and giant smiles from the audience. Kudos to the Sie and Whitten families on a great event that celebrates the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities. See the attached picture of a few of our Special Olympics staff that attended: Kester Edwards, Jerry Holy, Amy Shellard, and myself, and Sebastian Hernandez, one of the stars featured for the evening.

I took a 1:72 scale Type IIb model and from scratch converted it to a highly detailed cut-away model. The interior is completely designed in 3D using CAD. The design is based on a basic overview drawing of the boat and photos from the interior of the original that I found online. All parts are made by 3D printing and are detailed with photo etched parts.

A's face the unknown as Kickham makes debut
Parker looking to continue strong May in clash with rookie
Respect runs deep between Giants manager Bruce Bochy and A's manager Bob Melvin.
Said Melvin: "I've managed against him for quite a while. He's probably the best manager in baseball right now. ... They have a lot of confidence as a team and that comes from their manager."
Said Bochy: "The roll they went on last year, that's pretty impressive. [He was] a well-deserved Manager of the Year."
The two Bay Area skippers match wits again Tuesday in the final game between the two clubs in Oakland. They'll head to San Francisco to conclude the home-and-home Interleague series with games Wednesday and Thursday.
Southpaw Michael Kickham, 24, will make his big league debut for the Giants, replacing the injured Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation after the right-hander fractured his hand his last time out. In 10 starts for Triple-A Fresno, Kickham was 3-4 with a 4.33 ERA, but he's posted a 1.72 mark in his last five outings.
"His stuff is good," said Giants catcher Guillermo Quiroz, who caught the left-hander in Spring Training. "He was working on a changeup in Spring Training and has a good fastball and slider."
The Giants won't have to tinker with their bullpen as Chad Gaudin, who was also a candidate for Vogelsong's vacated rotation spot, will stay in the 'pen. As for the A's, they'll be tasked with the challenge of facing a pitcher for the first time.
"It's going to be more scouting and video that we can get," Melvin said. "From what I understand, he's a guy who has been hot recently, but he's a guy that we don't know."
Opposite Kickham will be A's right-hander Jarrod Parker (2-6, 5.76 ERA). In his last start Wednesday, Parker surrendered a pair of first-inning home runs, but he shut out the Rangers' offense over the next six frames.
Parker had a dreadful opening month, but he has lowered his ERA by almost two points in May thanks to three consecutive quality starts.
Giants: Casilla set for surgery
San Francisco reliever Santiago Casilla will undergo leg surgery Tuesday to remove a cyst in his right tibia.
Casilla is hopeful to return to the club after the All-Star break.
• Everyday second baseman Marco Scutaro will get a day off in the field Tuesday, instead assuming the designated-hitter role.
A's: Reddick on the mend
Oakland right fielder Josh Reddick will continue his rehab assignment Tuesday, heading to Triple-A Sacramento for what will likely be the first of three games there.
Reddick was slated to play at Class A Stockton on Monday, the first game in his recovery from a right wrist injury that landed him on the disabled list on May 8.
"We're looking at probably four [rehab games] right now," Melvin said Monday.
Worth noting
• Parker has made one start in his career against the Giants, tossing six innings of four-hit, one-run ball before the bullpen lost the game for Oakland.
• The Giants have not yet won a game in Interleague Play this season, after dropping two games earlier this month in Toronto.
• The A's saw two left-handed starters in their weekend series against Houston, and in the four games this week against San Francisco, three Giants lefties will take the hill.

Cingrani faces Cubs trying to keep Reds red hot
Trailing by two games in Central, Cincy takes on Cubs' Jackson
Their four-game win streak may have been snapped on Monday with a 2-0 loss to Cubs, but the Reds are still playing their best baseball of the season.
Winning six of their last eight, the Reds will look to stay hot on Tuesday against the Cubs in Cincinnati. Monday's loss put them two games back of the Cardinals in the National League Central and one game back of the Pirates for the first spot in the NL Wild Card.
"There's a lot of momentum going for us right now. I know the guys are feeling it," catcher Ryan Hanigan said before Monday's game. "Everybody is feeling pretty confident in the way we're playing. It's a good time of year to be going well."
Left-hander Tony Cingrani gets the call for the Reds as he looks for his eighth win of the season. He got a victory his last time out against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts.
The outing marked Cingrani's first start since missing two turns in the rotation with a lower back strain. Putting the team's mind at ease about the injury, Cingrani bunted for a hit, stole a base and scored in the 6-2 win.
Meanwhile, Edwin Jackson, who turned 30 on Monday, will be on the bump for the Cubs. The right-hander is looking for his first win since July 31, a span of six starts.
Jackson took a loss on Tuesday to the Marlins, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He also struck out four. Many of Jackson's problems during the start came down to the execution of his slider.
"That slider, he was throwing it 87, 88 miles an hour, and it was swing-and-miss [early], and then it just left him," Sveum said. "The velocity went down, and they were all short."
Jackson is 1-1 with a 3.46 ERA in four career starts against the Reds. However, he went just five innings and allowed four runs in a loss to them on May 5.
Cubs: Sveum likes Castro in leadoff role
Sveum has been pleased with shortstop Starlin Castro's approach since being inserted into the leadoff spot on Aug. 21.
He is hitting . 231 with two home runs and seven RBIs during that stretch. He's also drawn five walks and struck out 11 times.
"He's not the prototypical on-base guy or anything like that, but right now, if we get him going in a spot that he's obviously flourished in before, it's a way to maybe get him going," Sveum said. "Like I've said before, nobody has a crystal ball for why people hit better in certain spots. Realistically, you just have an at-bat, it doesn't matter. But some people do hit better in different spots. That's the way it is."
Reds: Team making plans for Cueto's return
A day after throwing his first simulated game since going on the disabled list June 29, Reds ace Johnny Cueto was scheduled to be examined by the medical staff on Monday.
These gradual steps are making the Reds think about when he may return.
"We're already figuring it out," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Everything depends on his body. It depends on our need. You don't want to force it in there. Even though he wants to force coming back, you don't want to end up with him coming back because he thinks he's ready and he ends up hurting his shoulder or something. It's just great to have him as a possibility."
Cueto has been on the DL three times this season because of a strained right lat muscle. He came out of a 30-pitch simulated game pain free and could find himself in a bullpen role for the Reds in the stretch run.
Worth noting
• The Reds have won 12 of their last 15 games against the Cubs, and dating back to last season have won 22 of the last 27 games.
• After going 6-4 in their first 10 games after the All-Star break, the Cubs are 13-27 in their last 40.

Home › Women's › Whiteline › Big Mountain Skiing › Andessa Jacket
An on area, ski and snowboard specific masterpiece that combines fully waterproof and windproof/breathable GORE-TEX® fabric with both down and synthetic insulations.
Strategic placement of insulation type ensures user comfort and prolonged jacket life. Down Composite Mapping places synthetic Coreloft™, which retains warmth when wet, along the hem, hood and underarms; areas prone to contact with moisture. 750 cu-in fill European Goose down lines the core and sleeves where warmth is most needed.
Don't get caught up with an inferior hood. The insulated DropHood™ fits over standard ski and snowboard helmets and is designed to rotate with your head.
A removable powder skirt, mesh lined PowderGuard™ underarm vents and a mesh-backed WaterTight™ front zip prevent snow entry but allow heat to escape because deep snow is a workout.
As an alternative to down fill insulation, we also offer synthetic fill products, such as the Meta Jacket.

Michael Morse says he's "100 percent" healthy again.
Michael Morse reached into his locker and pulled out a custom set of spikes, with words stitched into each heel. On the left, it read "Opening." On the right, it read "Day."
He planned to wear them Friday night (before the game was rained out) when he finally took the field at Nationals Park for the first time this season.
"June 1," he said. "Who would've thunk it?"
Certainly not Morse, and certainly not the Nationals, back on March 6 when some minor discomfort in his upper right back forced him to be scratched from a spring training game at Walt Disney World.
Upon feeling that discomfort while playing catch in the outfield that afternoon, Morse wasn't even sure he should bother mentioning it toRead more »

We'll probably catch Santana next Thursday when he tries to Johnny Vander Meer us.

Fish haven't lost yet. Back to back HR's by LoMo and a pinch hitter. Wouldn't it be JUST LIKE the Fils to squander a 4-run lead?

Nats must make a trade lest they lose players from the waiver wire.Matheus back —> Perry downDerosa back —> Mald. DFALidge —> ???Storen —> ???Werth —> ???

So Sunshine, you thought you'd be watching Strasburg on Thursday, instead you get Santana. Life is fickle!

Won't it be Ejax against Santana on Wednesday?
- Soul Possession, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:24 AM
Maldonado isn't going to get dumped, they need all the catchers they can get, and he can go on the DL for a few weeks, at least. Werth won't be back for a couple of months more–sufficient unto the day is the DL thereof. Storen, OTOH, might be an issue if nobody else gets their hand caught in the door.

White Sox winning again…I so glad Adam Dunn is having a bounce back year, he's was such a fun player to root for as a Nat. I'm glad we have our Adam and agreed with letting Dunn leave last year, but I still root for our old Adam(17 HRs)to have a great year in the AL. See you in October!

My feeling on Johan is after 135 pitches Friday night, they might just push him back a day. Just a hunch.

Nats must make a trade lest they lose players from the waiver wire.Matheus back —> Perry downDerosa back —> Nady DFA (interesting choice given DeRosa's recent injury history, one that might not make sense. I can't see it.)Tracy —> ??? Here's where it gets interesting. Trade?Lidge —> ??? Not more effective than any pitcher they currently have. . Lidge for Stammen? Not unless Stammen falters. Lidge DFA'ed after a full 30 day rehab cycle through the minors. He is traded for a prospect.Storen —> ??? Stammen optioned unless another injury.Werth —> Maldonado DFA to SYR (unless Sandy Leon gets to SYR sooner) Werth gets full 30 day cycle in minors. Its not like getting Morse back. Bench bat replacing Nady.

Werth won't be back for a couple of months more–sufficient unto the day is the DL thereof.Maldonado isn't going anywhere not even to the DL until Sandy Leon is completely healthy and catching in Syracuse and Flores proves he is past this latest injury. Not to mention Solano's back issues with a recent visit to the DL in Syracuse.Davey has to carry 3 catchers … at least for now and he knows it.

Can you even imagine as well as Stammen has been pitching that he could get sent to the minors? Maybe there is such a thing as too much pitching.
- MicheleS - Jun 2, 2012 at 1:09 PM
Swami.. I would be suprised if Stammen got sent down as well, but you have to take into account all factors for the roster moves. As much as we like to play armchair GM and make the moves that make sense, you have to take everything into consideration. How many people thought Lannan would get sent down? He had an Option, Det Didn't.
- baseballswami - Jun 2, 2012 at 1:18 PM
I will say this again – our organizational depth is crazy! Another thing that is crazy — NLEast separated top to bottom by two and a half games!!! All five teams are probably going to be jockeying around in the standings for the duration. Excitement and stress to the max! All five teams have the potential to be on top – it depends on whether or not you hit a team when they are cold( Atlanta last weekend) or hot ( Miami – oy). Whatever the Nats have been doing to scratch out wins, I hope they keep doing it. First it was pitching and late inning heroics, then it was earlier runs – whatever works. Go Nats!

If Wednesday's weather is good and it's EJax vs. Johan, I might play hooky just to see the no-hitters face each other…Beachy no slouch, of course, but Stras should be rested with no rain, muddy mound, etc. Clip is finding out the life of a "closer" is a lot of bench time. :)Hoping for some overcast to cut the late afternoon shadows.
- baseballjones - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:08 PM
Wow, I was really struck by the stat in boswell's column this morning that Ryan Zimmerman only has 14 HRs over his last 500+ ABs. I didn't realize things had gotten that bad for him. It must have been a very difficult decision for Rizzo to reup him for 100M, especially with rendon in the wings (although my sense is that rendon is not going to make it – destined to be a cautionary tale about wasting a high draft pick on an injury-prone player). People give werth such a hard time, wonder how much longer it will be before we turn our attention to zim.
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:08 PM
Injury-DL-wise is interesting. In the month of July there are a lot of guns possibly being ready to play again in time for the final third of the season. I know some don't feel the Nats are weaker with Werth missing, but I'll take a starting OF of Werth in RF,Harper in CF, and Morse in LF. with Lombo as our super utility guy.Storen hopefully returns to his old self, and has anyone heard anything about Cole Kimble? I really liked what we saw of Kimble last year.Point is, if we can stay at, or near the top until the All Star break we should be in very good shape to compete for the NL East title.
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:09 PM
I can't believe the Mets left Santana in for that many pitches. They guy is coming back from shoulder surgery.
- hiramhover - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:31 PM
Ryan Zimmerman only has 14 HRs over his last 500+ ABs.That's a little misleading, tho–he's had a lot of ups and downs in his 600 ABs since April 2011. His power returned last summer after his injury but then tailed off again in Sept. This season, he's had a pretty consistent power outage, again because of injury. Sorry, Peric–it's Zim, not Werth, who's been putting up #s worthy of a bench player this season.Obviously, tho, neither Werth nor Zim is a bench player–that's not what either one is being paid for. Zim's propensity for injury is something Rizzo knew when they signed him to that extension, tho Rizzo probably hoped it wouldn't happen so soon. As for the fans–because of the injury, and because of how Zim sustained our interest in the team thru the bad times, I think we're going to show him a lot more patience than Werth–or Espinosa for that matter (Zim and Espi have essentially the same wRC+ this season–86 vs 85).
- baseballswami - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:48 PM
Zim has spent time on the dl and has also played hurt and played with the team when he wasn't all the way back – like maybe he is doing now. If you look to him as just a power guy that might be misleading. He is one of those guys that is a complete player, a leader , and frequently clutch , especially when he is healthy. I think his value to the team can't be measured by home run stats. If he turns out to be our Scotty Baseball, then I think it will have been worth it over the long haul.Re: – Santana – 11 starts after shoulder surgery – 130+ pitchers – anyone else think that borders on risky? I think he is a veteran and knew the risk and wanted to take the risk and so they let him. Will this come back to haunt them later? One thing about the game, though – it was relatively low stress as the team was way out ahead. That seems to matter in pitching. Whereas the Nats pitchers? Usually high stress and showing signs that they do worse when it's low stress!
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:49 PM
David Freitas as an emergency catcher who can be called up too according to Nats Talk Not sure when Sandy Leon is scheduled to be back.
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Peric, I like the idea for trading Lidge for a prospect. Why not throw Lannon in a deal.Do not see the upside of DeRosa over Nady when DeRosa returns.Hate to see Stammen go down to the minors.Could they trade Wang instead.
- MicheleS - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:01 PM
Jeff.. They could trade CMW.. but the issue then becomes Wang or Lannan when Stras is shut down?
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:01 PM
I would go with Detwiller when Stras is shut down.And keep Stammen in the major league bullpen
- That old-school, prestigious way of Scooter - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:02 PM
I'm hoping they make Stammen the closer, option Wang to AAA, and trade a draft pick for Span.
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Nats Talk Live just addressed the question of who could start after Stras is shut down:Detwiller, Y. Maya, Z. Duke, J. Lannan or T. Gorzalonny. They would look inside the org for extra starters when needed.
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:23 PM
Nats live talks about a log jam in the outfield when Werth comes back. Still an area that could be strengthened I think esp. since I don't think Nady, Ankiel, DeRosa are good for bench outfielders/pinch hitters and Lombo really belongs in the infield.I like getting a Span type player and releasing/trading either Nady/Ankiel/DeRosa
- baseballswami - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:32 PM
Logjams in the outfield and in pitching. Survival of the fittest? I see Detweiler back in the rotation when Stras is shut down – I think the game got going a little fast for him and he will be read the next time. September call ups could be amazing!
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 3:36 PM
OK,on the other hand, assuming no major trades by August:bench : Lombo/Tracey/Maldonado/Ankiel/NadyGio/Zimm/Jackson/Wang/DetwillerStoren/Stammen/Lidge/HROD/Burnett/Gorzo/MatheusEspi/Harper/Zimm/Morse/Ankiel/Werth/Desmond/Flores

- MicheleS - Jun 2, 2012 at 4:17 PM
Jeffwx.. NatsLady is very protective of Clip
- jeffwx - Jun 2, 2012 at 4:20 PM
Understood. If he looked like Eva Longoria I'd be protective of him too.
- Steady Eddie - Jun 2, 2012 at 4:29 PM
When Storen comes back I suspect that Maryhrus will get sent down, as I believe that was the Opening Day plan during ST before Druuuu had surgery. I think they want to groom Mattheus as potential future closer or set-up/fireman and he needs to be in that role regularly to get there. Plus Stammen is too valuable as the RH long reliever/spit starter, as Gorzy is as a LH.Someone mentioned Kimball but coming back from a shoulder injury is always iffy for a pitcher and I have to believe they will bring him back very gradually — a few August appearances in AAA and sparing use as a Sept call up, if he's able to do even that. He's got a lot if talent but not an issue in this BP until next year at soonest.

when exactly is Werth eligible to come back, was 60 days retroactive from when he was first placed on DL?Putting Werth on the 60-day says a lot. He is now off of the 40-man roster which means someone needs to be removed from both rosters to make room for him. Werth is going to have to prove his wrist is completely healthy after 2 major surgeries on it. I wouldn't bet the farm on it. At least this season.
- peric - Jun 2, 2012 at 5:10 PM
Jeffwx.. NatsLady is very protective of Clip He's also been one guy who has been extremely lucky dodging the injury bullet.

When Storen comes back I suspect that Maryhrus will get sent down, as I believe that was the Opening Day plan during ST before Druuuu had surgery.We'll see. With HRod as inconsistent as he is. And Lidge not any better even when "healthy" and that's a subjective term in his case. They will need Ryan Mattheus. There really isn't anyone better out there …
- peric - Jun 2, 2012 at 5:14 PM
Plus Stammen is too valuable as the RH long reliever/spit starter, as Gorzy is as a LH.Can't see either Lidge or Wang lasting very long … might not even make to when Storen is slated to return both have the same issue: shoulder surgeries.
- peric - Jun 2, 2012 at 5:18 PM
Jeff.. They could trade CMW.. but the issue then becomes Wang or Lannan when Stras is shut down?Aren't you forgetting the following pitchers Michelle?Detwiler, Gorzelanny AND Stammen. All three are starters …And Lannan is buried so deep on the minors depth chart he isn't going anywhere this season unless they get lucky and someone accepts a late trade for John Lannan.AAA: Yunkesky MayaAA: Danny RosenbaumAAA: Mitch AtkinsAAA: Zach DukeThe four pitchers above are way ahead of John Lannan ..My gawd doesn't anyone follow the minors? Lannan is getting shelledregularly.

Marlins hope to heat up in chilly Minnesota
Ex-Twin Redmond leads MLB's lowest scoring team into Target Field
Mike Redmond is heading to Minnesota for the first time as a Major League manager, but the Marlins skipper won't have much time to visit with his former organization.
Redmond, who played with the Twins for five seasons from 2005-09, will only be in town for a few days as Miami opens a two-game Interleague series at Target Field on Monday.
Marlins right-hander Ricky Nolasco will make his fifth start of the season on Monday, but he is still searching for his first win. In 18 career Interleague starts, Nolasco is 6-10 with a 5.43 ERA. He's never pitched at Target Field, and has never faced the Twins.
Redmond never played at Target Field as a member of the home team. The ballpark opened in 2010, and Redmond visited with the Indians. Still, the first-year manager is excited to return, even though Monday's temperatures are expected to drop into the low-30s.
"It's beautiful; it's a great ballpark," Redmond said. "They did a great job designing it. I know guys complain about not being able to hit home runs out of there, but it's a great park and a testament to the fans. They wanted outdoor baseball, and they got it. We'll see how enjoyable that is on Monday and Tuesday."
The Twins are used to playing in harsh conditions, though three of their last seven games have been postponed because of inclement weather. That has made it difficult on manager Ron Gardenhire to find enough work for his bullpen to keep relievers sharp.
"They just have to do as best they can, throw a couple side sessions, and then when they come in, do the job," Gardenhire said. "Baseball, you've got to be able to ad-lib when you're in the 'pen. You'd like to get them out there, but not just for the sake of getting them out there."
The Twins haven't let the scheduling changes affect their play, though. They beat the White Sox on Sunday, 5-3, to extend their win streak to four games. The Twins haven't lost since they had an April 14 home game against the Mets postponed.
Marlins: Offense shows signs of life late
The Marlins have scored only 43 runs in 19 games, the fewest in the Majors, but they managed six runs -- including four in the ninth inning -- on Sunday in a loss to the Reds. It was the most Miami had scored since Tuesday's 8-2 win against Washington.
Giancarlo Stanton started the four-run ninth with an RBI single to right, and Miguel Olivo belted a pinch-hit three-run homer.
Chris Valaika went 2-for-3 and had RBI singles in the second and sixth. Rob Brantly went 2-for-3 with a double and scored two runs.
The Marlins have been shut out four times this year. They've scored two runs or fewer in 13 games.
Twins: Correia looks for better results against Marlins
Kevin Correia is scheduled to start for the Twins in Monday's series opener. The right-hander has gone at least seven innings in each of his previous three outings, and is 1-1 with a 2.95 ERA.
Correia is familiar with the Marlins after pitching in the NL for 10 seasons from 2003-12. In 15 career appearances against Miami, Correia is 3-4 with a 7.06 ERA.
Correia won his first start of the year his last time out, holding the Angels to two runs over seven innings on April 15. He struck out five against one walk and made 101 pitches.
Worth noting
• The Marlins have lost four of their last five games, and are 3-7 in their last 10.
• Miami outfielder Juan Pierre is 8-for-19 (.421) in his career against Correia, with one double.
• Twins outfielder Josh Willingham is 4-for-10 (.400) in his career against Nolasco, with four RBIs.

Pirates face Cubs for second straight Opening Day
Samardzija opens Chicago's season with matchup against Bucs' Liriano
One team has a new starting pitcher. The other team has a new manager.
But for the Pirates and the Cubs, the 2014 season starts like 2013 did -- with an afternoon game between the two National League Central rivals at PNC Park today.
Jeff Samardzija, who beat A.J. Burnett in last season's opener, will face left-hander Francisco Liriano this time around. The cast around the starting pitchers will look a lot like it did a year ago, as neither the Pirates nor Cubs made major personnel changes in the offseason.
But there is one difference, and it is a big one.
By winning 94 games the Wild Card playoff game last season, the Pirates, under general manager Neal Huntington and manager Clint Hurdle, have cemented themselves as a team that Cubs president Theo Epstein and new manager Rick Renteria would do well to emulate.
Chicago fans, of course, hope it doesn't take their team nearly as long as it did the one in Pittsburgh. But while the Bucs had suffered through 20 consecutive losing seasons post-Barry Bonds, the time frame that really matters ran five years. That's how many sub.-500 seasons that owner Robert Nutting gave Huntington and his staff to lay the foundation of the team that reached the playoffs in 2013, with bigger aspirations this season.
Russell Martin, the former Dodger and Yankee who rediscovered himself after signing with Pittsburgh last season, arrived at the perfect time.
"[Last] spring, it was just the realization there was a lot of talent here, a lot of young talent, a lot of guys who didn't even know how good they were,'' Martin said. "As the season went along, you start getting good results, you start feeling better about yourself, then go out there and gain some confidence.
"You just reaffirm the belief that you are good. That's what happened. We showed glimpses early on, and then there was a point in the season where we showed up at the field and we expected to win.''
At some point down the road, possibly as soon as 2016 or '17, there could be a player in the Cubs' clubhouse talking about their break-through season. But while that must still seem like a distant concept for a team that has lost 197 games the last two years, it brings a renewed sense of excitement to Hurdle and his team.
At times, it must feel like there is still champagne in their hair from the celebrations to clinch a playoff spot and that wild, fantastic night at PNC Park when Liriano beat the Reds' Johnny Cueto to send the Pirates on to the Division Series against St. Louis. It took two dominant performances by Adam Wainwright for the Cardinals to get past Pittsburgh, and it says a lot for the depth of the team that Huntington built for it to stand toe to toe with such a powerhouse in a series.
Success on the field usually brings an increase in revenue, but the challenge for Huntington remains to produce more talented prospects -- like outfielder Gregory Polanco and pitchers Jameson Taillon and Nick Kingham, who are in the next wave headed to Pittsburgh -- so he doesn't need to consistently add expensive reinforcements. The Pirates' payroll has grown beyond $70 million, which is a $30 million increase from 2011, but only a small bump from the start of 2013. Huntington allowed Burnett to walk (without giving him the qualifying offer that would have brought draft-choice compensation) because the salary increases to veterans ate up his increased payroll.
Sustaining success with one of baseball's lowest payrolls won't be easy. That's why there are as many reasons for the Pirates to be envious of the Cubs as the other way around one.
Heading into the third season for the front office headed by Epstein and Jed Hoyer, the Cubs have slashed their payroll from $134 million in the last year for the Jim Hendry regime to less than $90 million. That includes $14 million they will pay Alfonso Soriano to play for the Yankees.
But this is the season that their future cornerstones should begin arriving from the Minors -- with power-hitting infielder Javier Baez leading the charge -- and no team in baseball should have more money to spend the next few offseasons than the Cubs, who have only $31.2 million committed to their 2015 payroll.
Along with the buzz created by seven prospects rated among MLB.com's top 100 (Baez, third baseman Kris Bryant, outfielders Albert Almora and Jorge Soler, infielder Arismendy Alcantara and pitchers C.J. Edwards and Pierce Johnson), there's excitement inside the organization because the Cubs are finally on the verge of getting beyond the bad contracts left over from the unsuccessful buildup under Hendry and Lou Piniella.
"I think we've made tremendous progress,'' Epstein said in Spring Training. "The prospects we have have gotten a lot of attention, and they're moving up the ladder. They're exciting, potential impact players. But just the general talent level, the organizational depth, is improving. … It takes time to turn an organization around. It takes time to build impact talent and the requisite depth, but it's happening.
"People in the organization really believe we're on the verge of something special. We understand that we're perceived otherwise, and that's our fault. We've been a last-place club the last couple of years. We're not protesting [the perception], but we have to earn our way into a point where we're championship contenders on an annual basis, and we think we're certainly moving in that direction.''
Hiring Hurdle as manager for the 2011 three years ago was a major step toward success for the Pirates. The Cubs hope that they will look back at Renteria's hiring the same way in a few years years.
Unlike Hurdle, who took the Rockies to the World Series in 2007, Renteria is a first-time manager. He was hired to replace Dale Sveum because of his track record with young players, with shortstop Starlin Castro his top priority.
"We really trust Ricky to connect with players as human beings, to be on their side, to be consistent, to hold them to high standards and ultimately to get the most out of them,'' Epstein said. "He's a great baseball guy, a great communicator. He's fully invested in what we're doing here. He believes in young players, that you can win with young players. I think he's the right guy to create the environment we need at the big league level, to establish a winning culture.'
Along with Hurdle's experience, patience and relentless optimism, it was the arrival of high-level pitching that got the Pirates over the hump. Acquiring Burnett from the Yankees was a major step, but it was the signing of Liriano and emergence of former first-round pick Gerrit Cole last year that made the difference, along with with a shutdown bullpen led by Jason Grilli and Mark Melancon.
Samardzija, who gave up only two hits in eight shutout innings on Opening Day last season, can be a free agent after 2015 and has declined the team's attempts to sign him long term. He has been the subject of trade rumors since the offseason began, but he hasn't said or done anything to add to the drama.
Samardzija has said he would love to stay in Chicago and do his part in turning around the franchise. He said this spring that while he loves Baez, the Cubs need "six or seven'' players like him. It's just as true that they need a few more Samardzijas, not one less.
What plot twists lie ahead this season? It's time to find out.

Since there is such a focus on eating a low-fat diet, people often think that any food that is low in fat is inherently healthy. This is not the case. For example, soda and hard candy have no fat, but they also have no vitamins, minerals, fiber, or other healthy ingredients. What they do have is sugar, and lots of it. A lot of sugar can add up to a lot of calories.
Eating foods high in sugar and calories can lead to weight gain. Being overweight increases your risk of chronic disease, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Excess weight can also increase complications of other conditions you may have.
In addition, sugary foods often take the place of healthy foods, for example choosing a soda over a glass of skim milk or snacking on gummi bears instead of on an apple.
Here are a few tips to help you minimize your intake of empty-calorie foods.
Often, when food manufacturers remove fat from cookies, crackers, cakes, and other snack foods, they add sugar to make up for the flavor lost with the fat. The result is that many low-fat snacks provide the same amount of calories—or more—as the original product. So a low-fat banner on the package does not give you free reign to eat too many. It is still important to look at calories and limit snacks.
Sometimes a little bit of sugar goes a long way. Try some of these tactics:
If you just love the taste of soda and cannot imagine having popcorn or pizza with anything else, try a diet version. Or, if it is the bubbles you crave, have a glass of one of these zero calorie beverages:

Breaking into the creative industries is tougher than ever before. That's why we've partnered with IdeasTap to offer 20 photographers an incredible training opportunity.
Aimed at photographers at the start of their careers, Magnum's Professional Practice event is a two-day masterclass hosted at Magnum Photos' London Print Room, organised as part of IdeasTap Inspires.
During the weekend high profile photography experts will discuss the practical business of photography and pass on their invaluable industry knowledge.
Topics covered may include: the commercial print sale market, advertising shoots, commissioning for NGOs, image licensing, publishing photographic books, the modern editorial market, funding and organising exhibitions.
A second day will provide photographers with an opportunity to have an honest, constructive critique of their portfolios, by our industry specialists.
The weekend is a unique opportunity to begin establishing a professional network of peers and useful industry contacts, and to identify entry realistic routes into employment.
Previous speakers have included Monica Allende – Sunday Times Magazine, David Birkitt – DMB Media, Steve Macleod – Metro Imaging, Cheryl Newman – Telegraph Magazine, Michael Mack – MACK and Greg Hobson – National Media Museum.

Snowden's run: Obama the dupe
Obama never accepted that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea were malefactors. He thought they antagonized us because we antagonized them first. They have taken advantage of this stupendous naivete since Day 1. Now China has exported our most-wanted leaker to Russia. Obama says through a spokesman this will "damage" our relationship with China. Like they care. The President just got rolled, again, by foreign leaders who understand the Machiavellian nature of international relations. We have four more years of these humiliations to endure.

It is reminiscent of that Threadless shirt. However this one has a better layout and a cuter kitty! Well done, FlyingMouse365! I voted for it.
Re: Nebulous Nightingale
Awesome piece!
Re: Ninjas vr Norsemen
I love the characters you created - wish this were doing better. Would love to see these guys again in another derby.

WOW, Thanks! And thanks to everyone for the votes!
Re: Nonexistent
I love the simplicity and elegance of this design. Peaceful and soothing and a bit flirty.
Re: Rider in Training…
This is cool! I didn't see it until now though. Looks like no one else did either...
Beautiful design. I hope I have a chance to buy it!

Re: Northern Night
Sweet... love the image. So beautiful!!
This might be the most amazing shirt. :/ wish I could buy one.

I would like that very much. I'll be missing out on great shirts this week because of these mindlessly cute cats etc.

Let us know if this gets printed someplace else. I'd love to buy one!
Re: Nutcracker
I'd still love to buy this one. If it gets printed somewhere else, let me know, please.

Same here, please. My daughter's ballet teacher just wrapped up her 21st production of Nutcracker, and she would absolutely love this shirt.
That guy on the left kinda reminds me of The Cheat and Pom Pom. RIP Homestar Runner...
