Hulk Hogan files suit against Laser Spine Institute
Wrestler seeks $50 million
Hulk Hogan has filed a lawsuit against the Tampa-based Laser Spine Institute, saying the clinic performed unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career.
The Tampa Bay Times reported the professional wrestler filed the lawsuit Monday morning in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court. He filed under his real name, which is Terry Bollea. It seeks damages of $50 million.
In addition to claiming unnecessary surgeries, the lawsuit said the Laser Spine Institute used an endorsement from Hogan without permission or payment.
The Laser Spine Institute did not return a call for comment.
In October, Hogan agreed to a settlement with his DJ friend over a sex tape involving Hogan and the DJ's wife.

Quite impressive. Great job by those involved!
Phoronix: AMD Radeon Gallium3D Starting To Out-Run Catalyst In Some Cases
In this article are benchmarks of the past two Ubuntu Long-Term Support releases (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS) compared to the latest Ubuntu 13.04 development state. Being looked at specifically for this round of testing is the AMD Radeon Linux graphics performance with the latest open-source driver compared to an older Catalyst driver. For an AMD Radeon HD 4800 series graphics card, the current state of the open-source graphics driver on Linux is beginning to outperform an old AMD Catalyst driver from 2010 for select Linux OpenGL games.
Quite impressive. Great job by those involved!
In before the haters...
Yes, closed source drivers are faster. Yes Catalyst was used from 3 years ago and I'm sure performance has gone up since then. No these tests aren't perfect. But one thing that I do appreciate is Michael including 10.04.4 because it does show just how far the Radeon driver has come in the last 3 years. Its proof that open-source drivers can work outside of just Intel, that the community can do a whole hell of a lot.
I've stopped using radeon, I think i'm going to stick to intel unless I do another desktop build just because I REALLY appreciate Chris Wilson's "Release early, release often" approach with the driver. With that being said though, I tip my hat off to Marek, to David Airlie, to every member of AMD's OSS-graphics team. If I ever see you guys at a conference, I owe each of you a beer
PS: If there's another big-name contributor to radeon / radeon-drm / radeon-kernel that has done a lot with fixing the driver up that I didn't think of off the top of my head (marek and David were the only 2), I owe you a beer as well
Michael you have overdone yourself :P
48xx can only support OpenGL 3.3. So when r600g supports geometry it will have OpenGL support on pair with Catalyst drivers (and do not know if Catalyst support OpenGL ES 3.0!).
Fix that in your article.
Btw. ETA on geometry shaders anyone?
Well done radeon team!
ETA for smooth on-demand power management? Currently I still have to manually switch profiles, and dynpm (?) flickers a lot.
Thanks for all your great work!
Is it possible that it gained speed because Ubuntu began preinstalling s2tc?
Sadly I don't drink sparkling wine or any other alcohol but if I would I'd open a bottle right now.
So the free driver stack is no longer called "a mess" here on phoronix?
Yea, the results sure are impressive. I still remember how r600g gave excellent performance in UT2004 on medium-high settings a year back, and nowadays it would be even better. Now my R700 card is used for videos only, but even here it's very impressive - full HD content is shown on screen without any stuttering, even when the card is set on the low profile (which it is pretty much permanently for me now, as there is no more reason to go any higher).
Well, you might want to clarify that in the article, then. I wanted to make the same comment...

great valeu item will buy this product again and will recommend this item to all my friend for their I PHONE 5
I was looking for a case for my new Iphone 5. It was what I was looking for and not bulky looking. It was also very affordable for the price, which was important to me. The case does not interfere with taking photos or in speaking with individuals, so it works well. The material has a cushion feel to it, which is a nice protection for the phone.
The leather case fell apart in less than 4 months. While it appeared nice and felt nice when first purchased, the phone slid out of the case and fell to the ground several times before I had to use double stick tape.
Actual leather, but front part was sewn off kilter at bottom of phone, thereby covering the edge of the screen on one side, and not being centered around the Home button. Returning for refund. Probably would have worked, if that defect could have been over looked, but these type of cases are plentiful, and I am holding out for better quality.
The case was a little different from the 4 case but it was still very nice... This was a gift he seemed to really like it used it that same day!,,,,
Great price and looks great, very happy with purchase

"Good posture is a must!"
Bad posture is an act that many of us have been guilty of committing. It's hard not to let those shoulders fall forward in a slouch in the lovely office chair at work, or in the car during the always ridiculous traffic, and even at home during your favorite show. More so, as women we are more inclined to slouch our shoulders because our chest weights us down a bit more than most men. Slouch no more ladies!
Allowing ourselves to fall into bad posture habits make our breasts appear smaller and can even lead to more sagging over time! Bad posture also affects the appearance of your neckline and curves your back in an unattractive way. Slouching can also lead to long-term vertebra problems and back pain.
These negative qualities can easily be fixed by adopting better posture habits. Standing up straight with your shoulders held slightly back will help you immediately see a difference in your appearance. Your breasts will appear fuller and perkier than before, and by standing to your full height you will look and feel taller and thinner than before. A simple lift of the shoulders and straightening of the spine can alter your look and your confidence!
Bonus…the correct fitting bra can help improve your posture! Not only will the correct bra help give you the shape you want it can help ease back and neck pain and improve your posture in the long-term. When you find the right size your straps should be sitting comfortably on your shoulders, and the breast support should be evenly distributed between the band and the straps! Not sure about your size see our sizing guide here!
Some great posture correcting exercises are:
- Yoga – the poses and stretches will help increase flexibility and dexterity as well as strengthen your back muscles and promote correct posture.
- Pilates – Pilates will help strengthen your core muscles making your back stronger and ultimately help you naturally lift and position yourself correctly.
Here are a few tips you can use to help improve your posture right now!
- Squeeze those shoulders! – Every hour or so squeeze your shoulder back and together. Not only does this stretch feel great, it will help check your posture!
- Reach for the stars! – With your hands linked stretch your hands above your head. This will elongate your back and naturally lift you into the correct posture!
So ladies shoulders back, head tall, and chest out!

Get the Best Priced Chevrolet Cargo Liner
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Chevrolet Replacement SUV Cargo Liners
Drivers who select a Chevrolet realize that quality and style are well worth preserving; top-notch parts and accessories can keep your car on the road. For innumerable decades the rock-solid style of Chevrolet automobiles has been the poster child of American muscle and workmanship. Generation after generation Chevrolet stands for the performance and tough engineering synonymous with true American muscle. When it comes to solid design and rugged durability, vehicle buyers can't go wrong with a truck produced by Chevrolet. The Chevrolet you chose was made using the best quality and skill; it needs replacement parts with the same top level of quality. A lot of SUVs nowadays do not come with any type of lining or safeguard within the bed of a truck. A cargo liner serves as the safeguard for a back of the truck when carrying sand, food, furnishings and much more. The cargo liner can be used in the cargo part of your truck or SUV. Although they aren't crucial components like your car or truck's transmission, the less crucial segments of your car or truck can be important to getting maximum pleasure from the vehicle you spend all that time and money on. No matter the part, engine components or windows and controls, caring for your car or truck with superior parts is a smart choice in the long run. Choosing a Chevrolet is a smart choice, now maintaining it in excellent condition is even smarter! Sometimes the hardest thing about fixing a vehicle is finding a good source for outstanding parts. Use www.partsgeek.com any time you want top quality automotive parts to receive world-class service and a good price day in, day out.
Ordered the husky cargo and 3rd row seat liner for floors - love them...about to order the 2nd row seat...good quality, great protection - fast shipping!
Takes a while to "de-bend" and not heavy weight like others but is the correct one and the company was responsive to my questions.

Photography has always been an interest of mine. In college, while taking an intro Photography course I realized that I was seeing the world around me through a rectangle, even without my camera. The bug had bitten and bitten hard.
I later enrolled in Brooks Institute of Photography where I graduated with honors. Then I took over the photo and art dept of the Ojai Valley News where I won several State and one National Award for the paper.
I currently run my freelance business, RCVisual, from Denver with my wife Stephanie, daughter Kiya and son Keenan.

Wheels that don't tick!
34 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Wheels that don't tick!After some wheels that do NOT make the freewheel ratchet sound. The more silent, the better. After some training wheels so I can slip out of the yard in them AM without our dogs noticing and going nuts. They don't make a fuss when I leave on my single speed which is silent.
Alternatively can anyone tell me how to make my Mavic Ksyriums silent?
Re: Wheels that don't tick!Pack the free hub with grease mate.
The more grease around the pawls is what affects the loudness http://dirt.mpora.com/news/work-freehub-body.html Proudly "a hater of academics with helmet cams"
Re: Wheels that don't tick!I was going to say, keen to hear options apart from packing it with grease which is a temp solution at best.
Re: Wheels that don't tick!
NOT good advice. Grease runs the risk of causing your pawls to stick open - freewheeling in both directions is the result Shimano hubs are generally pretty silent in operation. There are some hubs that run a roller clutch and are silent in operation. However I don't see the problem with a clicking freehub - a sign of a precision instrument in operation. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Wheels that don't tick!
I have no issues with how and why they click, I want one that doesn't for the aforementioned reason

Re: Wheels that don't tick!
Crikey mate, I gave you a couple of tips to get you started. You want us to do the searching for you as well?? Here is one possible option. Not sure if it's available in 8/9/10 spd versions. Like I said, most Shimano freehubs are virtually silent. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-ro50-7- ... er-clutch/ Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Wheels that don't tick!
Shimano Hubs are almost silent. As far as I am aware, all Shimano Hubs are like this. The Ultegra 6700 Hubs on my roadie are almost stealth in nature, and the Deore XT hubs on my commuter bike are just as quiet.

Re: Wheels that don't tick!Why they make them sounding like a bunch of cicadas is beyond me. The last thing I wanted my opponents to know was, when I was on them. The noise from some of these clusters is heard from 15mtrs away these days.

Re: Wheels that don't tick!I have two wheelsets with Ultegra hubs (6600 and 6700) that are very close to silent. My wheelset with Dura-Ace 7900 hubs makes a bit more ratchet noise than the Ultegra ones, but it's not loud by any means.
To answer Foo, personally I'd rather have a noisy ratchet for the commute bike, as a subtle way of letting people know I'm coming up behind them before I have to speak up or ring the bell etc. Of course I totally take your point though, with respect to racing.
Re: Wheels that don't tick!The DT Swiss 240 hubs are the loudest I have ever heard by a loooooong way.

Re: Wheels that don't tick!
Often the simplest is the best. I will give this a go. They (the dogs) know I am going, no way of sneeking out, but they seem to react to the ratchet sound.
Re: Wheels that don't tick!It is a bit odd. I just bought my Trek Domane - the test ride was on an upmarket 5.9 and the free hub was loud as, to the point where it was almost irritating. On my 4.5 it's almost silent. Both wheel sets were Bontrager the only difference was the wheels on the 5.9 were supposed to be a higher grade. The bloke in the LBS reckoned when people pay more they want more noise - it sounds expensive

Jodhaa Akbar
"Jodhaa Akbar" is a 16th century love story about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a great Mughal emperor, Akbar, and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Political success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar. After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godavari River. Through a shrewd blend of tolerance, generosity, and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey--the journey of true love. The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar's biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in winning the love of Jodhaa--a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice. Jodhaa-Akbar is their untold love story.

OMG, I can not believe how happy I am! This perfume is perfect! Not too sweet, not too flowery...I really never thought I would see the day that I would change perfumes but this is definately the one for me!!!

Read Review details ►What a fresh and inviting fragrance! Tried this on a whim, as I needed something new for summer, and I was not disappointed! Perfect to wear anytime of the day, (best when it's bright and breezy outside) and despite the colorful/youthful packaging, this scent could work well on anyone at any age. (My Mother is near 60, and even she complimented me!) Right with the first spritz I got that refreshing green tea, moss, and very subtle citrus notes. The dry down is just as easy going, with a hint of light floral (think daisies) and a "freshly showered" uniqueness. Lasts for awhile too. One of a kind, and definitely makes you feel 'Fun'. =)

iOS 6 and the curious choice of the colorful new status bar
Ahead of WWDC 2012, rumor had it Apple was considering a fresh coat of paint for the default iPhone interface elements (UIKit). Now that iOS 6 has been introduced, instead of a new, unifying silver look, like Leopard gave OS X, we've gotten several new looks, and a newly tinted status bar to go along with them.
In iOS 5 the default iPhone status bar was constrained to very few states: translucent (for use on top of Lock screen or Home screen wallpapers), light gray, black, or hidden (for videos, games, and other full-screen apps).
With iOS 6, the translucent and hidden states are still there, as is the black state, but the light gray default has been replaced by a color that's tinted based on the that of the menu bar -- or more exactly, a color averaged from the bottom row of menu bar pixels. Developer Simon Blommegård ran several tests and determined if, for example, you entire menu bar was yellow but the bottom row of pixels was half red and half blue, the status bar would be tinted with a purple hue.
You can see the new, tinted status bar plainly in the keynote video when the new Mail features are shown off. (About 90 min. in). You can also see Safari, Passbook and other apps that have been opted-out and set to black instead.
This raises an interesting design question: Should the status bar be part of the app interface, or should it disappear into the casing.
On a black iPhone, the black status bar almost becomes part of the device itself. Even on a white iPhone, due to the black border around the screen, the black status bar becomes more device than interface element.
Consistency becomes invisibility.
If iOS only ever used a black status bar, it would be unobtrusive -- all but unnoticeable to users unless and until they went looking for it. In other words, attention would remain on the app content, not the iOS chrome.
Even in iOS 5 and earlier, the black and light gray status bars were repetitive enough, and light gray matched the default menu bar enough, that they all but disappeared.
The tinted status bar doesn't do that right now. In default Apple apps, it sticks out in a more obvious shade of blue. Arguably that's because it's new. But given its potential to change colors, Skittles-like, from app to app, it'll be hard pressed to fade into unobtrusiveness any time soon.
Themes, skins, carrier customizations, and other variables aside, other major mobile operating systems handle it this way. The status bar is uniform to the point that dedicated users have to go double check to see what color it is, so unmemorable has it become. webOS specifically targeted that experience, keeping their status bar black and rounding the corners so it would look more like words on the case than pixels above an app.
Yet with iOS 6 Apple is deliberately drawing attention to the status bar.
So the question becomes, what advantage is there to having a more noticeable status bar in apps like Mail and Settings? (Apple overrides it with black in apps like Safari and Find my Friends.) Is there information contained in the status bar that needs to be more noticeable in default app interfaces? Does it simply make utilitarian, more data-driven apps a little more cosmetically attractive, where content-rich apps are better left to the less obtrusive black?
Apple showed off the new, more colorful status bars during the WWDC keynote, but iOS 6 is still in beta and things can change between now and the general release date this fall. There's also always a chance some new system in the iPhone 5 could shed better light on the switch to the tinted status bar, so we'll have to wait and see.
Right now, I'd prefer to see Apple go pure black across the board in iOS (and let developers overwrite it if they choose to). Even on a white iPhone, a consistent status bar becomes part of the device, there when I need it, gone when I don't.

iOS 6 and the curious choice of the colorful new status bar
Honestly when I first loaded up an app that used the new status bar I thought the new colour meant that I had unread notifications, after clearing all my notifications I eventually found this wasn't the case. I have also noticed that the 'translucent black' status bar is now a darker colour of the navigation bar. Look closely at the Facebook Messenger app.
A color like that is not too shabby. As long as it blends. The changing status bar with different apps is a feature that some developers have already been using, it's nice.
Right now if you use Netflix on the iPhone the status bar actually turns to a red hue matching the page color. Before defaulting to black when you navigate through. Definitely seems like something they have had the ability to do ? Never notices it until people starting talking about the chameleon like status bar
Well you gotta think also this is the first beta it could be different in the next beta. Just like the old background for folders and what not looking like legos in early iOS 4 betas.
My theory is that it's to do with the design, specifically screen size, of the upcoming iPhone 5. They probably want to make the screen real estate as apparent as they can with a 4" screen, as a black status bar on a taller device (especially on a black iPhone) would 'unbalance' the device's top/bottom border symmetry.
My guess is that they're setting the groundwork for notifications on the status bar. By making it stand out, it contrasts with the rest of the screen, so it will stand out more when something pops up on there. Just my guess :-D
i hope they aren't changing it to red and orange and that crap. That stuff could make me move to a different platform. the look of ios is what sold me. A drastic ugly change could ruin that.
this is what bugs me about the just change the os people. If it looks hideous what good is that?
and since Jobs died they've made some really tacky style decisions like those gummy bear colors on the apple tv. I guess when Jobs died the people with style were all gone.
This paragraph sums up the blind isheep nature of most Apple fans:
So the question becomes, what advantage is there to having a more noticeable status bar in apps like Mail and Settings? (Apple overrides it with black in apps like Safari and Find my Friends.) Is there information contained in the status bar that needs to be more noticeable in default app interfaces? Does it simply make utilitarian, more data-driven apps a little more cosmetically attractive, where content-rich apps are better left to the less obtrusive black?
---The very fact you ramble for that long about the almighty changing the status bar color goes to show how deeply you have stepped into your own pile of apple bs. Maybe they just wanted to change it? Thought it might look fresher and newer, knowing isheep would derive some magical meaning from it all. And of course, you took the bait.

Tom Gorzelanny makes his season debut today at Citi Field.
NEW YORK — We figured the Nationals would have a tweaked lineup today since they're facing a left-handed starter for the first time this season. This, though, is a bit different than I expected.
Adam LaRoche has been given the day off, probably a product more of his 5-for-28 start to the season than his career .254 average against lefties. So Michael Morse gets moved in from left field to first base. Jerry Hairston starts, as expected, but he's in left field. Which means Rick Ankiel (career .234 average vs. lefties) stays in center field.
Tom Gorzelanny, makes his first start of the season and his first with the Nationals. He hasn't pitched in 15 days, throwing only a simulated game in D.C. earlier this week to stay sharp. We'll see how that translates once he faves live competition for the first time.
Updates to come…

I don't quite get Hairston playing over LaRoche against lefties, unless it's just a scheduled day off for LaRoche. Hairston hasn't been any better in his career against lefties than LaRoche.

O notice that the Flagship station is missing again. Yesterday the Nats were done before the Wizard's started. I never did hear why they couldn't have both games on. Is this the last time the Wizards interfere with the Nats (I am assuming the Wiz are playing tonight, I don't care about the NBA so I pay little attention).What is the word that have heard Mark?
- Tanja - Apr 9, 2011 at 8:28 PM
@Manassas NatsWJFK will not play any games that interfere with their terrible weekday programming. So any games that play during the week will not be broadcast on WJFK.
- fpcsteve - Apr 9, 2011 at 8:55 PM
I don't get Morse playing at this point. Batting cleanup is even more puzzling.
- Stranded_in_Philly - Apr 9, 2011 at 8:56 PM
Morse got a day off just two games ago because he was scuffling… so now he hits cleanup and moves to first base?
- Nats Lifer - Apr 9, 2011 at 9:43 PM
I like the move. Sometimes players need a change in perspective to get them untracked, kind of a reverse psychology akin to a basketball player lighting it up when he has the flu. Moving Morse to clean up tonight might just be what he needs, especially facing a lefty. Don't think, just swing. It says here he goes 3-5 tonight.
- Sam - Apr 9, 2011 at 9:50 PM
Ahh, so now we know why LaRoche is out: his shoulder is hurting. If this means a trip to the DL, I would assume they call up Bernadina and put Morse at 1B for a couple of weeks. Though, I think it would be really ballsy and more fun for the fans if Marrero got the call to play 1B. I would like to see if the kid is ready…Of course, this is all contingent on LaRoche requiring a trip to the DL.
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 9, 2011 at 9:59 PM
To answer Manassas Nats Fan's earlier question about radio broadcasts, the Nats get bumped off 106.7 FM when the Wizards play and when there's a weekday afternoon game that conflicts with the station's regular programming. Since the Wizards' season is just about over and there are only a handful of weekday afternoon games over the course of the season, this won't be an issue very often.
- Alex - Apr 9, 2011 at 10:00 PM
@manassas nats only one more regular season interruption for the wizards game after tonight that is Wednesday there is a wizards game monday but the nats are off so sunday and tuesday nats game wont be moved around it will be on 106.7
- Rob Dibble's Ghost - Apr 9, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Here's the deal…the Nats are generally on 106.7 (except weekday DAY games) nd 1500 with the following exceptions: When the Caps are playing at the same time, the Caps are on 1500 and the Nats are on 106.7. When the Wizards are playing at the same time, the Wizards are on 106.7 and the Nats are on 1500 and 1580. When all three teams play at the same time (which should be a rare occurence, but it has happened three times this week), the Nats are bumped to 1580 only. So it's a few games that are not on FM, but once the Wiz Kids pack it up, it will be much, much better deal for baseball fans than the past years on just 1500.

"the Nats get bumped off 106.7 FM when there's a weekday afternoon game that conflicts with the station's regular programming."Silly me. I always thought that when a radio station was the flagship station for a team that the team's games WERE its regular programming.
- Nats Lifer - Apr 9, 2011 at 10:49 PM
Yeah, Woody, another thing to iron out in seasons to come. It's a lot of Washington eggs to put in one 106.7 basket, having all three teams which play more than 20 games per year on the same station. One would think that as the Nats improve and the fan base expands that they'll get more priority. At least there should be a better FM back up with 50-100 mile radious coverage. We'll get there.

@Nats LiferCSN got the memo eventually once the Caps started getting higher ratings than the Wizards and would periodically boot the Wiz to CSN+.

Does anyone know what's up with Bernadina? he hasnt been playing at Syracuse and he's not listed on their roster at all.

@jd, think he had a family matter he was attending to…check Nats Prospects for details.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 9, 2011 at 11:28 PM
To me as flagship station the Nats should take priority over a talk show any day of the week. They think people would rather listen to r Chad Dukes and LaVar Arrington? I don't get it.

Apparently umpires have forgotten that a strike is a strike. That pitch to Beltran before the homer was definitely strike 3 and the inning should have been over and done with. The last few years the umpires have been a joke.
- dj in Fl. - Apr 9, 2011 at 11:43 PM
Mets tv crew were talking about the small strike zone the ump was had for Gorzelanny. Two pitches later, after not getting that call strike three, the homer. Good for Gorzelanny to give the ump grief about the call he did not get. At least let these umps we are no longer going to just take thistreatment.Way to go Desi

Can someone explain what, exactly, is Jerry Hairston doing on this club's roster?
- FS - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:10 AM
It is good to see Espinosa and Desi perform, especially Tom who is coming off a long layoff. But it is the Mets' free swinging lineup. I am a little cautious on praising Gorzo. Oh and the rate at which Nationals are striking out against Capuano is scary too.
- Grandstander - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:11 AM
Can someone explain to me why they didn't walk Davis to set up the DP against Hu? I was shocked to see them pitch to Ike.
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:13 AM
Gorzelanny def deserved better than that tonight. He struck Beltran out before the 1st homer even though the ump missed it and the flyball that hairston just missed was awful…
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:23 AM
Hairston was a great pickup by Rizzo. He can't play the outfield and he most certainly can't hit. What a waste!
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:27 AM
Riggleman didn't walk Davis to face Hu because he is retarded.
- sjm308 - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:27 AM
How does a major league player miss that fly ball to left field? This team just finds ways to get me upset and break my heart. I realize its a long season but this game is one we should be leading right now.
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:29 AM
Can we please just put our nine best guys out there? Riffle an manages like a Babe Ruth League coach trying to keep a bunch of parents happy.Jerry Hairston doesn't belong here. Porter is now scared of his own shadow. Mike Rizzo, you can't let this continue. There's too much talent on this team to watch them lose from poor management.
- rmoore446 - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:39 AM
The dropped fly ball stunning. How does a professional outfielder miss that ball? Bringing in Broderick in a close game situation caused my jaw to drop open in amazement. These are the games that just wear me out.
- Cwj - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:41 AM
Agree with Joe Seamhead.Riggleman wants to make everyone happy. That's not how one should manage a MLB team (I don't think).Take a look at your roster and play the best 8 non-pitchers at their best positions. How hard is that? I seriously think Riggs needs to go. With an improving team (and they are indeed improving) the Nats need a new manager. Gorzelanny deserved better results tonight.Broderick should be parted with.

- dj in Fl. - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:52 AM
Where are you guys coming from. We don't have our best available out there tonight. We should not give injured players a day off! Maybe we should cut Morse based on his start. Just think how the fans in Boston and Tampa must feel about their lousy managers.How about if the 9 on the field just play to their ability. There is a reason that there are 25 members on a team…it is a long season and all must step up when called on.

The Pitch Count God bit us again tonight. Those of you with Tivo or MLB TV, watch Werth's first AB. He watched two of the biggest marshmallows in the history of baseball. Then, forced to fight for contact down 1-2, he whiffed on a high pitch, out of the strike zone.I keep wondering: is the objective to win the award for most pitches seen, or to get on base?
- Grandstander - Apr 10, 2011 at 2:54 AM
It plagued the Mets yesterday and it gets us today. 1-9 with RiSP is pathetic. I can't shake the feeling we just gave this one away. Chris Young looked sharp against the Phillies and shut us out back in 08. But we really need to take this series if we want to stay relevant.
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2011 at 3:09 AM
Just watched Riggs on post game. This clearly is a man on the edge. He reminds me so much of Norv in his latter days here. This team has the pieces to be good…..not next year….now. We lose almost every close game we are in. We need a young, positive, aggressive manager. Riggs was hired as an interim manager. It is very clear he can't handle the pressure of his job. It just seems like every move he makes, whether it is the right one or not, backfires. He has a black cloud around him. It is time to take that next step…………….
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 10, 2011 at 3:22 AM
Anon 9:42, I find it hard to believe that Espinosa and Desmond both needed a breather the fourth game of the season. Dj in Fl, my point was not benching/ cutting Morse, rather Jim has a bad tendency/history of playing guys out of position. Jerry Hairston is a very mediocre outfielder.Broderick is on the team due to a good spring, but mainly because of rule 5. That said, he should,at least for now, be the last guy out of the pen in a tight game..With Adam LaRoche we seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place, with our pants down, due to the final roster choices made. If he's hurt and we have to move Morse to 1B, there is no legit 4th OF.Speaking of Morse, last night he drew a bases loaded walk and then Nix was sent in to pinch run for him.I didn't get that move. Was it related to Adam's shoulder? No, because Nix went to left. If the Mets had come back, we burned Nix as a PH, and at that point in the game it was unlikely for him to get an AB in Morse's spot.Look, I still think that this team can be a near.500 team. I have bought into the "we're a better defensive, more athletic team" hook, line and sinker, but talk's cheap.I like Jim Riggleman, really want the local guy to succeed, but like a lot of us, I'm losing confidence that he's the guy to get us to be a winning team.I hope that I'm wrong.
- Cwj - Apr 10, 2011 at 4:14 AM
Obviously it is a long season and I believe this team will win close to 80 games. BUT, why was Broderick even pitching in a close game? I say: screw the whole "out of options" and "rule 5 draft" rules and actually use the best players on the team.The ultimate goal is to win each game, right? The Nats can't do that with 2-3 of their best pitchers in the minors. (Balester, Detwiler, HRod). I'm really looking forward to the early season Spring Cleaning that is absolutely necessary.

1/21/11 – Day Three of Phillies Phantasy Camp
No, Ryan Howard did not decide to take batting practice on the roof of the hotel in the middle of the night. That would have been two extremely loud, and very close lightning strikes, which scared the holy hell out of me, and most everyone else in the hotel. Unfortunately, that meant that our fine groundskeeper, Opie Cheek, was right on the money about that impending rainstorm. The bus pulled in to the Carpenter Complex and we were greeted with the image of a virtually drowning Ashburn Field. We did not like the looks of that. As I entered the clubhouse, I saw the grounds crew scrambling to make the fields as playable as possible. The skies were grey and it was drizzling. Plus there was another wave of precipitation on its way. This was going to be interesting. On the TV screens in the clubhouse, the game schedules for the day were posted, and not surprising, the first set of games were pushed back. I wouldn't be playing until 2:30. As a teammate of mine said, "Who has a deck of cards?" First order of business was our daily player meeting and Kangaroo Court. As I made my way to the entrance of the tent, I noticed all the campers were still outside, looking towards rightfield. Immediately, I thought that this might be a current Phillie working out, just as Ryan Howard and Domonic Brown did the day before. Sure enough, at 8:30 AM, in a steady, chilly drizzle, the 2010 CY Young Award winner, Roy Halladay, was out tossing the ball. Living up to all the praise that was bestowed upon him the night before at the Bull Session, Halladay proved why he is arguably the best pitcher in the Major Leagues. What a beast. Kangaroo Court came in to session and already there was a shake up on the bench. Judge John Kruk was mysteriously absent from the proceedings and needed a reliever. Judge Ricky Bottalico to the rescue. Before cases were heard, the first of the daily awards were given out. A "Gamer Award" would be given out to the one player who had the best day on the field. Simple. The "Gomer Award" was… the complete opposite. For the first time ever in Phantasy Camp history, the "Gomer Award" was given to an entire team… mine. Our 18-0 shellacking at Bright House Field the day before, added to our 2-0 loss, meant we were completely shutout AND lost by a combined 20 runs… at least I can say I left Camp with an "award". The winner of the "Gomer Award" is given a mask to wear, a baseball with a ridiculous face on it. Since they didn't have 14 of them, our poor teammate, Connie Hidalgo, got the dubious distinction of donning the mask. Another one of my teammates, Mark Stutman, was called to the bench later in the session. It was not a good morning for the Drillers. Mark was charged with batting out of order during our first game, but in his defense, we had an injury on the field. With 14 people in a batting lineup, there was some understandable confusion. Our fearless co-manager Stocker chimed in, "I don't condone counting". Kangaroo Court continued. More jawin', razzin', blasphemin', and crimes against human decency ensued. A lot of us got to thinking that this would probably be a heck of a lot more entertaining if it took place at night, after a few trips to the bar… or maybe not. We would probably have more and more people missing come the morning. After Court was dismissed, we went to have our team photos taken in the main concourse of Bright House Field, right behind home plate. Normally they would do this outside, but with the weather as it was, there was no choice but to be under cover. This gave us some time to hang about and get to know each other a little better. Larry Andersen made his way to our team for a quick chat with all of us. We had a lot of time to kill, so it turned out to be a nice experience. I caught sight of a few friends on other teams and talked to them for a bit. This also gave me the time to make up for the lack of photos from the day before. We took our team photo, in addition to an individual picture with Stock and Lieby. Now we had a lot of time to kill before our game. In between mulling around the complex and clubhouse, I grabbed lunch. Our player representative, Joe Moore, and another rep, led an organized stretch in the outfield of Carlton Field to keep us limber. Finally, our game was scheduled to start. Unfortunately, the break in weather was short-lived. The second wave of rain started right at the beginning of our game and got progressively worse… very quickly. Our opponents were the Ravens, coached by Jim Eisenreich and Bob Boone. I made the start at third base and we gave up two runs in the top of the first inning. We continued to run up our record for Runs Against. With our ups in the bottom of the frame, the scoreless streak finally came to an end. We quickly got a couple runners on base. I stepped in and proudly provided our first run of the Camp when I hit an R.B.I. double over the leftfielder's head. That got us going. I was moved over to third then scored our second run on a force out. The game was now tied. As we were getting ready to take the field for the top of the second, the game was called. The rain really had started coming down now and there was no end in sight. Our mojo would have to be saved for the next day. As much as I would have loved to finish out that game, I must admit, I did appreciate the downtime and extra hours of rest before our team dinner. All the muscles I never knew I had were still aching, and a little R&R would most definitely help. As I entered the lobby, my friend Sam caught my eye as he was giving me a defying point in my direction. He let me know that I "just made him look like a Little Leaguer". I did not realize it at the time, but my double had gone over the head of Sam. If I didn't get another hit all Camp, I would be satisfied with that one, just for the humor attached to it… well, humorous for me. Not Sam. I made my way down to the lobby after a nice rest to wait for our shuttle to the team dinner at the Island Way Grill. Before our shuttle arrived, I had a chance to talk with a teammate of mine, Lee Sorenson. His son's band, Forward Motion, play frequently in New York City. He was telling me that he was just in Manhattan to see him play at this tiny little bar called The Local 269. Funny enough, my current band just played there back in November, and has become quite a fixture on their stage in the last year or so. Lee told me how proud he was of his son and his music accomplishments. He also told me that he requested from his son that he'd be allowed to join them on stage for one song during a performance of their choosing. He also thought it would be great to have a stage name, preferably something along the lines of "Sting". To make it easy, they bestowed him with the name "Ding". Since Lee does not play an instrument, his son gave to him for Christmas a cowbell, inscribed with name "Ding". Not only was I laughing all night from that story, but also I found that to be so incredibly touching. It was so obvious that he and his son have an amazing relationship, and the pride he had for his son's accomplishments was so beautiful. It reminded so much of my dad and I. In my 20 years of playing in bands, I think he probably liked two of them, but he always made time to come out and see my shows and support whatever music I was playing. The countless hours he endured while we were making a sonic racket in our basement easily qualifies him for sainthood. It made me feel so good to see a pure and honest relationship like that. We arrived at the restaurant, which is co-owned by two former Tampa Bay Buccaneers players, Mike Alstott and Dave Moore. I must say, for this jaded New Yorker, I was very impressed with their food and the creativity in the preparation of their seafood dishes. I regret not getting a couple pieces of sushi, as Mike Lieberthal did. They were some very healthy portions. Since Mike was sitting next to me, we had a chance to talk a little more. He and I chatted about our love of sushi and all the incredible Japanese restaurants in my 'hood, particularly Matsu (the original location, not the expansion down the street. Trust me). He also told us all about his extreme passion for playing golf, which he is trying to parlay in to an actual career. He makes frequent golf excursions and got the chance to play a round with Hunter Mahan in Ireland, compliments of their shared agent. As we spoke, he paused, stared at me and goes, "Do you remember Eric Milton"? I nodded. Milton was a teammate of Mike's on the Phillies in 2004. He continued, "You remind me so much of him". Well, that's #2. First Pete Incaviglia, now Eric Milton. I can only imagine who would be next. Other discussions we had with Mike revolved around his career in baseball, from being drafted, to his first game with the Phillies, to his final days. We also talked about the state of baseball in general, like steroids their impact on the Hall of Fame voting. On my other side sat our player rep, Joe. I had started to talk with him earlier in the day, and this was my chance to get to know him better. Basically, player reps are employees of the Camp that basically are the den fathers to each team. They basically make sure that the only thing we have to worry about is having a blast. They figure out all the logistics for each team, on and off the field. They are the workhorses; along with the countless others that made this adventure a true fantasy. In the morning, there was a note from Joe in my locker, written on Phantasy Camp paper, complimenting me on my job catching and my hit from the first game. It's these small touches that really make this camp a priceless experience. Later on in the dinner, Mark Stutman came over to wish me a happy birthday. The next day was actually my birthday, but he had seen the date in the player profile guide we all received the first we arrived. When the desserts came out, my key lime pie "mysteriously" had a couple candles stuck in it, followed by a chorus of "Happy Birthday". I immediately looked at Mark and he gave me a coy shrug, denying all responsibility. It was definitely a fantastic way to end the night. Well, I did have a nightcap at the hotel bar when we got back. THAT was a fantastic way to end the night.

Monitor Buying Guide
Unlike the rather simple choice one used to have when buying a CRT monitor many years ago, the decisions that need to be made when buying a new computer monitor these days have multiplied exponentially. Since it's safe to call CRT displays a thing of the past, this guide will focus primarily on the new LCD market that is more current for todays computers. Starting simple and going up to complex displays that can double as a home entertainment display, there really is a huge market out there for these products. Unfortunately that huge market also brings many big decisions that must be made when purchasing. To start, let's highlight a few terms that you will see on the box of almost every display:
Response Time: The response time is the time it takes the pixels in the monitor to go from white, to black, and back to white again. This happens so fast that it is measured in milliseconds (ms). Slower response times often lead to "ghosting" during faster frame rate content like games and DVD movies. This "ghosting" will leave part of the last frame slightly visible like a ghost in the background of the current frame. Of course this is something you have to look for because it won't ALWAYS happen during every scene, just those faster ones where the frames are changing faster than the panel can refresh the new image. You won't have a difficult time finding monitors these days with 2ms or 1ms response times – this is where the manufacturers try to get you. If you read a detailed spec sheet of these monitors these are often referred to as GTG (grey-to-grey) response times. The reason they quote the monitors with GTG response times is quite simply because the LCD panels can refresh from grey to grey dramatically faster than they can from white to white, which is actually the ISO standard for this type of measurement. The good news is, even if they were to rate the current panels on the market at a white to white speed, they would still be plenty fast enough to keep up to current DVDs and games.
Contrast Ratio: 500:1, 1000:1, 20000:1, what do these all mean? The contrast ratio is the display's ratio between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks. The higher this ratio is, the greater the difference between the two factors. A contrast ratio of 1000:1 would imply that the dark level is 1000 times darker than the white level. People often think that a high contrast ratio will give them a really "vibrant" image – this isn't entirely true. Although a high contrast ratio will give much better colour representation, the vibrance of an image often comes from the panel itself and how it's covered (glass front or not). Another marketing thing you'll find with monitors is "dynamic contrast ratios". These are ratios that seem impossible for a display panel to do on its own, like 30000+:1. These panels will usually have a significantly lower contrast ratio on their own but through an enhancement feature can "perform" similar to that of a higher one. How this is done is by means of a dynamic backlight that adjusts to the type of image it is displaying. For darker images it will darken itself to better contrast the colours of the image. For brighter images it will brighten, accentuating the many colour tones in the image. Although this is a nice feature, it does have its drawbacks. Images with dark and light portions often can't take full advantage of this ability and on a computer monitor when you may be switching between dark and light windows, the backlight adjusting itself can be a noticeable nuisance.
Widescreen, standard screen, what's the one for me?
Another of those big decisions that must be made nowadays is the ratio of your screen. Back in the days of CRT displays, your monitor was limited to a 4:3 display ratio and the most common resolutions were 1024x768 or 1280x1024. When LCDs came along, the ability to manufacturer widescreen panels came with them. Now those widescreen movies could be properly enjoyed without the black bars at the top and bottom. Both screen types are still being commonly manufactured although widescreen displays are really starting to dominate the market. Although widescreen displays give you a lot more screen area, there is a small price to pay that most people don't think about. If you've ever owned, say, a 19" LCD monitor and then moved to a 19" widescreen LCD, you'll notice that you aren't actually gaining all that much screen space at all. Since LCD monitors use a different aspect ratio, you're actually losing height from the display when you switch between common size monitors with different display ratios. In order to match or exceed the 1280x1024 resolution that most 17" and 19" 4:3 displays use, you must buy a widescreen model of 20" or above to at least maintain the same height that you had before. Considering most people switching from CRT to LCD will probably have screen sizes around 15" or 17", the jump to a bigger screen will certainly be a new experience. As for which style you should buy... that's really up to you! I've come to prefer widescreen these days because it provides you with that extra side space which is great in Windows Vista with the sidebar, that way you can keep it open and not have to worry about shrinking your documents.
Up until a few years ago, the only real interface you would find on a monitor was the typical analog VGA input. The cables were often marked with having dark blue or black ends to them, although that was just the most common colours used to mark this cable type. Today, you're starting to see terms like DVI, HDMI and many others appearing when your looking into the technical side of that dream monitor you've been looking at. Analog VGA interfaces were just that; analog. Those cables couldn't be run over really long distances because of signal loss and they were susceptible to interference if the interfering device was strong enough. Digital signals can not only withstand much longer cable runs, but they are also much less susceptible to any type of interference. The DVI interface is quickly becoming the only interface you see on new video cards these days and monitors are quickly catching up, with most offering a DVI and an analog VGA connection (for users still on older computers). Using a DVI signal will help to maintain a digital signal path straight from your (digital) computer right to the LCD. This allows for a slightly clearer and crisper image without the interference and distortion that analog signals are subject to along the way. If you're buying a new LCD monitor and planning on using DVI, you'll want to make sure it's also HDCP supporting (almost all new ones are now). HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection and is a sort of handshake between the display and content source device. This eliminates the possibility of the digital signal being intercepted mid-steam between the display and the source. With high definition content quickly washing away the old technology and new operating systems like Windows Vista starting to take advantage of HDCP, it should certainly be a high priority on your requirements list when shopping for a nice new display to make it last.
A lot of LCD monitors are starting to offer similar features as a small TV would when it comes to inputs. If you're going to be centering a media system around your new monitor, you may want to consider looking into the many other interface options that monitors have. In addition to analog VGA and DVI, many monitors are also offering HDMI, S-Video, Composite and RCA inputs. Although some models do have all those interfaces on one, most are a combination of only a few.
To Conclude:
Now that you know what all those fancy terms on monitor advertisements mean, hopefully you can make the perfect choice on your next computer display. Remember to buy what works best for you and to prepare for the future to get the most out of your new investment.
