Four Accused Of 'Brazen' Federal Contracting Corruption Scheme
Originally published on Wed October 5, 2011 5:34 am
Four men were arrested Tuesday for their alleged roles in what the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald Machen, alleges was "one of the most brazen corruption schemes in the history of federal contracting."
The Washington Post's Crime Scene blog writes that:
"Charged in the District's federal court with conspiracy, bribery and unlawful kickback were two Army Corps contracting officers, Kerry F. Khan of Alexandria, and Michael A. Alexander of Woodbridge.
"Facing the same charges are Khan's son, Lee, of Fairfax County, and Harold F. Babb, of Sterling, director of contracts for EyakTek, an Alaska Native Corporation with an office in Dulles, Va."
As The Wall Street Journal adds, the men are accused of taking part "in a scheme to steer a $780 million government contract to a Virginia-based company in return for millions of dollars in kickbacks, the Justice Department said."
They are also charged "in a $20 million bribery and kickback case that prosecutors [alllege] helped pay for the purchase of more than a dozen properties, Rolex and Cartier watches, fancy sports cars and hotel accommodations, first-class airline tickets and a trove of other personal luxuries," The Associated Press says.
The contracts involved in the alleged scheme were for "software encryption devices and other information technology, prosecutors say."
Attorneys for the men entered pleas of not guilty yesterday, AP adds.

Vehicle type | Industrial vehicle |
Body style | Industrial dumptruck/flatbed truck |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | GTA IV |
Manufacturer | HVY (GTA IV) |
The HVY Biff is a large truck featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Closely resembling a Kenworth T800, the Biff is a conventional cab truck used in construction and industries commonly encountered in industrial districts in the game. The Biff is available in different configurations in flat-bed form, or two different types of dump truck, with some being filled with gravel.
Due to its size and weight, the Biff can only reach 121 mph. All variants tend to understeer badly when putting power on into a corner. Also the rear wheels have a very bad tendency of locking up under medium to heavy braking, telling us ABS is non existent. The Biff also shares the same engine sound as the Bus when driving with the 'in cab' view.When driving around areas such as Star Junction and The Triangle, the Biff is easier to drive than the Flatbed, owing to the fact it has a more 'ergonomic' nose, this also improves driver visibility greatly.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Biff fetching $4,000.
- The default radio station of the Biff is San Juan Sounds.
- During the mission Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend after getting ambushed the diamonds are thrown into the back of one of these trucks.
- In The Lost and Damned there are remains of unused coding of "biff2" variant. It is unknown what could it be during development.
- The truck's name is a reference to the character Biff Tannen from the Back to the Future trilogy. In "Back to the Future", Biff's car slides and crashes into a dumptruck filled with animal manure.
- Two Biffs can be found in a construction site near Gainer Street, South Bohan, Bohan.
- The Biff can usually be found driving round Acter Industrial Park in Alderney.
- A Biff can be seen blocking a street near the construction site where Ivan tries to escape in the mission Ivan The Not So Terrible. It has no driver, so the player is able to easily take it.
- Sometimes driving in Algonquin.

Riot Juice is basically a bottle of strong grain alcohol and as much blue gatorade as you can fit into a 4 litre milk bottle. Perfect for getting f**ked up, starting riots and blacking out!
I'm pretty happy to arrive at our destination, kick back in a deck chair and get smashed on Riot Juice!

Not worth even the 69 bucks. Front desk guy could not understand basic english. We were ready for a bath, when we found out that the sink did not have whater and the whater on the shower was hot (not easy to take a bath under 85 celsius). We were to call the front desk but the phone did not work. Sat on the bed and it was broken. Changed room to one that had a card key that did not work more than once. Trouble all around, run from it.

I stole my aunts TV at her winter home 15 years ago.
She doesn't know I did it. Maybe.
1/2 measures availed us nothing. I am sober 13 years. I have not been able or willing to make this amends.
do I tell her and buy her a new TV?
do I make a large donation at her church?
I have done nothing and it is on my mind.
Thanks and God Bless

When it comes to celebrating Valentine's day most people reach for the usual things, like chocolate, flowers and a candle light dinner at home.
But as always Il Salviatino dares you to think bigger, welcoming you and your beloved one with a special Package valid from 11th to 19th of February. May that be a triumphant beginning to what will be an unforgettable romantic getaway.
This year's St. Valentine Package includes, besides accommodation in De Luxe Room with breakfast "à la carte", a romantic dinner for two and a 30 minutes couple massage.
Although it will be hard to want to leave the hotel even for a minute, we advise you to do so and explore the city of Florence which is on its own very romantic.
A golden sunset in Ponte Vecchio gazing at Arno river, a sip of Tuscan's fine wine, and a quick stop in one of the top Florentine Chocolatiers could provide you lovely memories to treasure for a lifetime.
It is said that originally St. Valentine in Italy was celebrated by young lovers in ornamental gardens enjoying music and poetry reading. It could be pleasant to take a few hours of your time to visit Pitti's Palace and stroll into the Boboli's Gardens, to have a little taste of what this day could have been like so long ago.
Trusting your fine taste Il Salviatino welcomes you, with a glass of Champagne, to an Aphrodisiac Dinner for two to be served on the February 14th , with a tailored menu created by our Chef Carmine Caló.
As a guest in this 5 star hotel in Florence set your mind on simply enjoying with your Valentine the incomparable environment of Florence, the City of Renaissance.
Costume parades, joyful music, splendorous masks… Those are no more than just a few of the countless details that make Carnival in Tuscany simply magical.
This festivity usually takes place four Sundays before the Shrove Tuesday, in Italian "Martedi Graso", and it is an event celebrated like no other, specially in Viareggio. A city located at a relatively short distance from Florence.
Begun in February 1873, Viareggio's Carnival is considered worldwide to be one of the finest celebrations in all Italy, and its biggest assets are definitely the float parades displaying enormous figures made of papier-mâché, alongside 200 people dressed up in full costume.
Every year thousands of people from all over the world choose Viareggio as a Carnival destination, and many say the major reason to do so is the opportunity to enjoy the parade and see what theme they come up with each year.
Although dressing up in full costume is not strictly required most people choose to do so, while other prefer to keep it simple and just wear a "Burlamacco" mask or put on some fancy make-up. Whatever may the case be, what really matters is enjoying the party atmosphere.
Needless to say that no description could ever match the sensation of being there.
Il Salviatino will be keeping at your disposal a special carnival package, valid every weekend from the 4th of February to the 4th of March.
It includes, besides a 2 nights stay in De Luxe Double Room of our luxury hotel in Florence, a trip to Viareggio with Lunch for two. All of this to let you experience Tuscan's Carnival at its best.
Without a doubt, the most special and magical moment of the year is New Year's Eve. As we prepare to bid goodbye to the year full of memories, we also await a new beginning filled with unknown excitement.
If we want to start the year with a positive attitude, we should follow New Year's Eve traditions. Eating lentils before the clock strikes midnight will bring fortune to the New year. As throwing something old will give us renewed dreams. Let's not forget about wearing red underwear underneath our best attire. This will bring us good luck as soon as the very first minute of 2012.
For this night, our luxury hotel in Florence Il Salviatino has prepared for you a very special event: "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years) , linked to the package "An Italian Christmas" . This will make your stay at the the hotel very memorable during the holiday season.
Il Salviatino has taken utmost care in organizing the details of New Year's Eve celebration. We have prepared an exquisite dinner menu which includes dishes like Scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, asparagus and red prawn cream; Red mullet and hazelnuts with parsley and candied lemon, anchovy crumble… Last but not least, a desert that unites the essence of Christmas season with gastronomy: Christmas cake pudding with exotic fruits and berries, English vanilla sauce. And Holiday pastries.
Dinner will be accompanied by live music and entertainment to enjoy an extraordinary performance that pays tribute to the period when elegance reigned supreme in Italy.
The Roaring Twenties, ladies wrapped in long evening gowns dancing a wild swing and, for the first time, showing off their sensual legs in a stylish – and sometimes cheeky – way. The noir ambience of the Thirties, when cigarettes were taken out of shiny silver cases and smoked in the dim light.
The cheerful gaze of people dreaming of a brighter future in the Fifties, and wearing the first colorful clothing and prints. That is the essence of "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years), a performance that underlines the special aspects embodied in the first decades of the 20th century in Italy.
Guests only have to worry about enjoying this very special night. Il Salviatino provides you a unique environment to have an unforgettable start of 2012.

HesterHairBlackThick or Coarse HairLove ItI previously reviewed it with 4 stars cause of the spikes, but after a year, the whole family loves it. My six year old daughter loves it cause it doesn't hurt when brushing out her tangles. No one says it hurts anymore, but it just feels great on the scalp. Love the brush, amazing buyposted Jul 31, 2013Link to this post
Hester S.United StatesHairBlackNormal HairSatisfiedThe one thing no one mentioned in the reviews is that this brush is pretty spiky. Half the people in our family thought it hurt too much and the other half felt like it gave a tingling feeling in the scalp when used. I happen to be the one that likes it. Overall, an excellent brush for the price. But it is definitely not for everyone, since if you touch the ends of it, my hand does hurt from the spikes, but my scalp seems to like it.posted Aug 1, 2012Link to this post
BrookeLos AngelesHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairTry Their Other Brush.I bought this after purchasing the Spornette wood handle brush with boar bristle which I LOVE. (#25 porcupine)
This brush is all nylon so creates static and isn't great for tangles. It also hurts to brush with.

KizelleInterestingThis is an interesting brush - nylon brustles but set up like a boar bristle brush. In the photo it is a bit difficult to see what youre getting but that is it. Id say its ideal for people with normal to thick hair because of the nylon. I am hoping it will be ok for my daughter but she has very fine hair. I guess well see. I did brush my hair with it and it feels very nice though I like the nylon and boar bristle combination brushes. I Gave it five stars because the price is unbeatable - it is sturdily made and a great value. A quality brush for a steal.posted May 1, 2008Link to this post
TamaraFort Lauderdale, FloridaSpornette Brush Is Great!I bought this brush 25 years ago and it has always been my favorite. Recently the bristles were starting to come out and I decided it was time to get a new one. (Guess I got my moneys worth!) Went in online and Folica.com came up with the brush at an excellent price. This brush is still outstanding! Especially if you like stiff bristles that massage the scalp while brushing. Also, I give Folica.com a "Best" rating. They processed and shipped my order very quickly.posted Apr 25, 2008Link to this post
JulieMississippiHairCurly HairMagic BrushThis brush was recommended to us by a friend whose salon we used. My daughter has extremely long curly hair with lots of tangles. She called this brush a magic brush because it was easy on tangles. That was about 6 years ago and we are still using this brush! It is great. The only brush my girls will use!Also, I found Folica thru Google and took a chance ordering. The service was excellent and the order got to me very quickly and the price was fair. The shipping cost were what sold me. Thank you Folica for a wonderful product as well as great service!Sincerely,Julie in Mississippiposted Feb 1, 2008Link to this post

There are many movies out there that have an awesome premise but never manage to live up to that premise. In the hands of the wrong writer/director, Frozen could have easily become one of those movies. Thankfully, we are in the hands of the more than capable Adam Green and the simple premise of three snowboarders/skiiers being stuck up on a chairlift has turned into one of the most tense, visceral, and emotional rides in recent horror history. Chalk another one up for Green, Frozen more than delivers the goods and I am so incredibly happy to say that because I would've HATED to have to come on here and bash the movie but believe me, if I didn't dig it, I would've had no choice but to be honest and do just that. This is not a biased opinion because of my love for Adam Green, these are my true thoughts, as all of my movie reviews are.
I interviewed Adam Green on this very blog last year and he talked about how he didn't want to be pigeonholed as "the horror guy" - the way I interpreted it, he didn't want to be known as the guy who can only make over the top gore fests like Hatchet that harken back to the flicks he loved as a youth. There's a lot more to him than that. In Green's own words from that interview, "I don't want to be anything other than just Adam Green, a guy who makes the movies he wants to make. Save the horror titles and crowns for someone else as there's plenty of horror directors out there who only want that." Adam Green is a filmmaker who is comfortable in admitting that he is more than just 'the Hatchet guy' and if he didn't prove that to you with 2007's Spiral, i'm pretty damn confident that he's going to prove it to you with his third single word titled fright flick - Frozen. This is the movie where Green proves that he's a damn good filmmaker, no matter what genre he's working in.
Yes, Frozen is at its core a horror movie and yes, there is a bit of that brutality and gore that you'd expect from an Adam Green movie, but it's got a lot more going for it than the average horror film and it sure as hell does not rely on that brutality or even on the horror of the situation. It's a thriller, a drama, a comedy (in the earlier parts), and a horror film all wrapped into one - and it works on all of these levels. As a horror flick, it's the best kind of horror flick - one that transcends the genre, one that seamlessly blends terror, edge of your seat (or chairlift) intensity, a little bit of humor, and even a sufficient dose of serious and heartbreaking drama. In fact, my favorite scene of the entire movie was not a kill scene, like it is with most horror movies. My favorite scene, and in my opinion the best scene in the entire movie, was a particularly emotional dialogue driven scene where the female character is talking about her dog. It doesn't happen often during the confines of a horror movie, but I may have even a lost a tear or two during this scene. Yes, the Hatchet dude made me cry. See what I mean? I guess what i'm trying to say is, Frozen isn't just a great horror movie, it's a great movie, period.
Frozen is the kind of movie that you really don't want to read too much about, so I really don't want to say too much more than i've already said. All you should know going into it is that three friends get stuck on a chairlift and shit goes down. Try not to read too many reviews or the boards over at IMDb, just go experience the horror event of the winter for yourself. Go laugh, go cry, go get scared shitless, go get Frozen.
And I must say, if you're holding off seeing it because you didn't like Hatchet, throw that idea right out the window. Hatchet and Frozen are NOTHING alike and i'm fairly certain Green's gonna win you former haters over this time. I'd put money on it if I had any.
In a world full of horror movies that are carbon copies of one another, it is so refreshing to see an original movie like Frozen come down the pipeline. It would truly be a damn shame if this didn't get the wide release that it deserves, so once again I urge you, now more confidently being that i've seen it, to go see Frozen. But don't go see it because i've been telling you to go see it all week, go see it because you want to support original horror. Let's be honest, this film hasn't gotten a wide release because it's not a remake, it doesn't have any big name stars, and all that kinda studio bullshit. If us true horror fans don't show our support for movies like Frozen, we're just furthering that studio belief that we won't pay to see original horror on the big screen. It's times like these that we can come off our soap boxes, stop bitching about all the unoriginal shit stinking up our local theatres, and take the future of the genre into our own hands and really make a difference. By seeing this movie, you're not just supporting Adam Green, you're supporting the horror genre as a whole and that's what it's all about.
Thank you Adam Green, not just for another awesome movie, but for a truly memorable night out with the friends and family who joined me in support. Thank you for being both an awesome filmmaker and a truly awesome guy - the latter being the main reason us horror fans rally behind you so hardcore and will continue to do so in whatever you do, whether it's making horror movies or romantic comedies. I personally felt a lot of pressure for Frozen to be good, being that it was my petitioning for the film that got people to drive 45 minutes to come see it with me, so on a selfish note, thank you for not making me eat my words.
One last thing I want to address in regards to those that didn't like the movie. Nearly every negative review i've read for Frozen asks the question, "Why didn't any of the kids have a cell phone?!". Firstly, i'd like to say stop looking for little shit to nitpick about and just enjoy a movie for once. If they had a cell phone there would be no movie, ya dolt. Secondly, I am a snowboarder and I can tell you that neither my girlfriend or I have EVER taken a cell phone up on the mountain. Especially in this day and age where most of us have cell phones that are delicate and have no front cover, bringing it up on the mountain would pretty much guarantee you ending up with a shattered phone once ya take a spill. So please, shut the fuck up about that. You can clearly tell that when Adam Green was writing this movie he said to himself "Ok, what 'why didn't they' scenarios will people nitpick and bitch about?" and he admirably addressed all of those things in the film, so stop trying to outsmart him. It aint gonna happen.

2008 Goodguys Del Mar Truck Show - Surfin' USA
Written by on September 1, 2008 Goodguys: Del Mar, CAAwise man once said, "If a beach city in California is worth going to, it will have been mentioned in a Beach Boys song." For Del Mar, California, the song was Surfin' USA, and the number one way to get to the beach with a surfboard in 1964 was in the back of a pickup truck. Today, if a person wants to go to a car show that is any good with a number of classic pickup trucks in it, they log onto the Goodguys Web site and find out where the Goodguys are throwing their next show.
Originally the Goodguys' Del Mar show was the show-season opener, but that distinction has moved a little farther north to the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa a couple of years ago. That said, the Orange County Goodguys' Get-Together (Custom Classic Trucks, July '08) is still in its infancy and the Del Mar show is still the granddaddy of the Southern California coast. Instead of rambling on about how wonderful the weather is and what a perfect venue Del Mar is for a classic truck show, I'm going to shut up so there will be more room for photographs-and so you folks can decide for yourselves.

It seems that Jackson is in good health, too:Rumors have been swirling for months about Phil Jackson and the Knicks - Jeanie Buss only but added fuel to the fire with some comments on the �Mason and Ireland� show, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]:
Jeanie Buss, who has been dating Jackson since 2001, added credence to the rumors during an interview with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] She agreed with the hosts when they speculated that Jackson would return to the sideline in the near future.
�He�s got his energy back,� Buss said. �As a matter of fact, I overheard him making plans to play tennis when he�s back in Montana with one of his friends. He hasn�t played tennis, I don�t think, in 8 years. The knee replacement really is one of those operations that has such a high success rate. It gets people back to riding their bikes or playing golf or playing tennis. It really is a miracle. It�s one of those things that because of Phil�s schedule he wasn�t able to take the time to get the surgery and do the rehab. Now he�s done it, and I do think he has his energy back. Now he�s going to spend his time? I don�t know. I�m happy for him, that he�s out of pain, after watching him suffer for the last few years.�

The Nats will be without Pudge for at least two weeks.
[UPDATE AT 4:40 P.M. — The Nationals will purchase Carlos Maldonado's contract from Class AAA Syracuse tomorrow and add him to the big-league roster as Ivan Rodriguez's replacement. Maldonado, 31, appeared in 21 games with the Pirates in 2006-07 and was hitting .218 in 26 games at Syracuse before his promotion.]
Ivan Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day disabled list this morning with a lower back strain, a significant blow for a Nationals club that is woefully thin in the catching department right now.
When Rodriguez had to come out of Saturday's game against the Orioles with a recurrence of the back pain that has nagged him on and off all season, it didn't raise too many red flags. But then the future Hall of Famer said he would need at least a couple of days off. When he didn't board the team's charter flight to San Francisco last night, a DL move seemed imminent.
All of a sudden, the Nationals face a major dilemma behind the plate. Wil Nieves takes over as the primary starter, but he's never been an everyday catcher in the big leagues. And the organization has no viable backup to him at this moment.
Chris Coste (picked up in late spring) just had Tommy John surgery and is done for the year. Jamie Burke (picked up late last season in a similar emergency situation) is still recovering from knee surgery. Jesus Flores is nowhere near ready to return from his shoulder injury. The two catchers at Syracuse are journeymen Carlos Maldonado andRead more »
- Mike - May 24, 2010 at 3:09 PM
But for the immediate term, you have to bring up either Maldonado or Ivany, right? You don't want to be forced to put Josh Willingham behind the plate. Both AAA guys are miserable at the plate, so I'd call up whichever is better defensively.
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 3:10 PM
We were asking about this very issue a few days ago. Why have they not put Coste on the 60 day? They are wasting a 40 man spot by keeping a guy with TJ counting against the 40 man….Is this Lerner being cheap again?Something also smells with Flores injury. We need to find out what his daily baseball activities are at this point…….90 days after spring training what can he do?How can Rizzo's brain trust be so good (just ask the Nats FO and they will tell you they are the best and brightest) and still have no plan if a 38 year catcher goes down……Inexcusable really.

Looks like Wil Nieves will be catching Stephen Strasburg in his 1st MLB game.So the question marks go to the new backup catcher as well as who will take Olsen's spot in the rotation for 1 start as I would think that spot will go to Strasburg and Atilano and Stammen are in the rotation until Olsen comes off the DL and possibly has a Minor League tuneup start.

They should bring up Brian Peacock from Potomac. The Nats have pretty much buried the poor kid.
- Chris - May 24, 2010 at 4:06 PM
Take a step back form the ledge and breathe, people. Pudge isn't seriously hurt, but the FO wants to avoid having his injury get worse by sitting on a plane for two long flights.At most we'll need a back-up catcher for the Houston, SD, SF and maybe the Cincy series – depending on when the DL is retroactive. Maldanado has had a few cups of coffee in the bigs so for one or two starts (if he's the choice) we'll be fine. And if he's not Rizzo's choice there are plenty of other FA catchers that can fill in.
- Kyle - May 24, 2010 at 4:09 PM
Wheres a young Derek Norris at?
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 4:10 PM
Chris,That is accepting losing….we have had those years, and this year we expect more. Will N is not a front line catcher for any about of time. Rizzo's front office is so smart they should have a plan to keep winning even is a key player goes down…that is what they said they were doing this past winter….let's see the plan Mr. Rizzo.
- bdrube - May 24, 2010 at 4:14 PM
@Kyle – He just got beaned in the head and is out for 7-10 days.
- Doc - May 24, 2010 at 4:19 PM
Derek Norris is sitting out a mild concussion, otherwise it might make some sense to bring him up for a short period of times.
- Bowdenball - May 24, 2010 at 4:26 PM
What JayB said.This is a big deal not because of our new absence at backup catcher, but because that means Nieves is our starting catcher for this critical ten game road trip. That would have been fine for the 100 loss teams of the past, but not for the 2010 Nats.
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 4:28 PM
This team needs a catcher who can catch. Norris is way, way below a MLB catcher in his skills. He really should be in Low Single A based on catching skills…even then look at his stats…..not good at all….He needs to find a position or better be traded and let some other team deal with a guy with not defensive skills.
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 4:31 PM
The real question here is what went wrong with Flores…..He was the plan….Mark, please, info on what he is doing as far as baseball activities and with what level of success?
- Richard - May 24, 2010 at 4:33 PM
It is a serious matter for another reason — the Nats have been overworking an aged catcher. I love Pudge, and he is really great, but he is probably too old to play every single day. He will come back from this soon, but if they continue to overwork him, it will happen again, and maybe not such a minor injury. I'm old, I know these things!
- Anonymous - May 24, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Paul Hoover was just DFAed by the Phillies. Nice arm and has been getting playing time in front of large crowds. Probably an equal for Nieves in the bat department. The transition would be easy.
- NG - May 24, 2010 at 4:44 PM
Some of the commentary on this thread is priceless. Criticizing Rizzo because you don't like the backup to the backup (Nieves) to the backup (Flores) to the starting catcher (Pudge)? Name the team that's done a better job planning for this contingency. And who should Rizzo have signed that would have substantially improved things? And you can't put a player on the 60-day disabled list (Coste) unless you add another player to the 40-man. What would the point of doing that before Pudge's injury have been, other than wasting an option year on someone who was going to be in the minors anyway? This isn't cheap, it's roster management. I'm glad the front office understands this better than certain blog commenters…
- NatinBeantown - May 24, 2010 at 4:57 PM
Seriously, can we back off the FO on this one? In ST, Flores was Plan A, progressing from injury. Pudge was Plan B, and Nieves was Plan C insurance. When Flores started to not look like he would be ready, Pudge and Nieves moved up a peg and Coste became Plan D. So with Plan A and Plan D hurt indefinitely, Plan B currently nursing some game injuries, we have a temporary need to fill. But can we not freak out and question why there was no plan??There are tons of AAAA guys who are perfectly adequate to fill in for a few starts while Pudge is out for two weeks.All that said, catching depth is a system-wide issue, which is one reason I think they might be less inclined to move Harper if he's the one drafted.
- Doc - May 24, 2010 at 5:02 PM
I'm like everyone else, wad's happening to Flores?? Is he returning this year? We're going into June, and no word on his status. Can he throw? Is he taking BP? Somin stinks here how the Nats have handled his one injury, that all of a sudden became two injuries.
- Rachel - May 24, 2010 at 5:10 PM
I think Rizzo will want more than just a place-holder for this road trip.http://bit.ly/cgMgt6
- Bowdenball - May 24, 2010 at 5:12 PM
There's really only one person giving the F.O. a hard time here. Everyone else is just upset that we're losing a very valuable piece as we head into this road trip. And rightfully so.There's also some legitimate questions being asked about the handling of Flores' injury, but they're just that- questions.
- Joe - May 24, 2010 at 5:12 PM
What is the status of Jamie Burke? I'd think he'd be the logical option, if he can play.
- alexva - May 24, 2010 at 5:16 PM
On NJ site, May 4, Rizzo said Flores, Detwiler and Wang were still a few weeks from rehab assignment. Not much to go on, I'll admit. Unlike RF, I would think only the most fervent Rizzo basher (guess who) would pin this situation on the front office.
- K.D. - May 24, 2010 at 5:17 PM
The Nats have survived Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn being unavailable for days in succession or less than stellar in production in the latter's case. The team needs Pudge back and healthy for the mid-season grind. He hasn't been on the DL for years, it doesn't seem serious just nagging, he should take care of it now and come back re-energized. Nieves should be rested enough to hold the staff together until he returns.
- Chris - May 24, 2010 at 5:30 PM
Thank God there's a few sane posters on this blog. I was beginning to worry that JayB was allowed to go off at the keyboard completely unchecked. All he does is bitch and moan about EVERYTHING Rizz and Riggs do. It's become borderline unbearable and was ruining Zuck's blog for me. Now that I know he's a running joke it'll be easier to ignore his foolishness. Thanks NG, alexva and NatinBeanTown for restoring my faith in Nats fans.
- Rachel - May 24, 2010 at 5:35 PM
K.D., part of the reason we could hold on without Zim (and barely survived w/out Dunn) was because the bottom of our lineup was producing. Wil won't be that kind of boost (Sorry Wil, I do love you to death).
- Knoxville Nat - May 24, 2010 at 6:07 PM
JayB has passed blame on to everyone but George Bush. Apparently he hasn't gotten the memo from the big O on that one yet.
- Steve M. - May 24, 2010 at 6:15 PM
KD – I agree. I think Wil Nieves will do a fine job behind the dish for the next 12 to 14 games and luckily there are enough days off in the schedule that Wil can handle it.IMHO, I thought the team did well with Zim on the bench but not as well with Adam Dunn on the bench.When is Rizzo going to get Dunn inked for a few more years?
- Anonymous - May 24, 2010 at 6:21 PM

- K.D. - May 24, 2010 at 6:44 PM
re: Rachel, I agree with what you wrote except that unlike earlier Ryan and Adam are producing now and hopefully will cover for the loss of Pudge's bat. It's their time to pick up Pudge, since he (and other's) picked them up earlier. I guess we will find out soon. It's good that Livan starts out the road trip, he should set a calming tone.
- markfd - May 24, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Let's give Devin Ivany a chance to back up Wil.
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 7:05 PM
They have had plenty of time to deal with the facts on Flores not being able to come back. Rizzo made no attempt to deal with reality of a 38 year old catcher and a sub par backup….fact is the team is going to be hurt by lack of planning here.
- alexva - May 24, 2010 at 7:24 PM
Come on, do you really consider Nieves a sub par backup? I believe their record in games he started is over .500. If Burke is available to join the roster then the only alternative was to deal players just in case this happened. I can't believe I'm arguing with you on this but don't overstate the facts to voice your dissaproval.
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 7:42 PM
sample size this year is small…..take a look at record over the past 3 years….
- alexva - May 24, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Yeah, I'll get right on that. My point is that he is an adequate backup and while I suspect you don't agree, you didn't answer my question.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 24, 2010 at 8:04 PM
Nieves is an excellent backup. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to playing consecutive games.
- NG - May 24, 2010 at 8:05 PM
But JayB, which of the plethora of Joe Mauer-type free agents that were scrambling to be the Nationals' fifth catcher in Spring Training do you think (even with the benefit of hindsight) they should have signed to have made the situation better? That's the thing that's always missing from your constant criticisms: what could the team have done differently to absolve them of the criticism.
- Daniel the Nats Fan - May 24, 2010 at 8:06 PM
Stammen and Lannen have not been pitchign very good lately and they really need to pikc it up now with Olsen gone for a while. Hes been pitching pretty well consitering his track reord in the past. Rodriguez ism a big loss becasue he really gives the Nats something theyve been missing for a long time the want to win !
- Rachel - May 24, 2010 at 8:25 PM
K.D. good point on the middle of the lineup producing now.@others: don't get me wrong. I think Nieves is one of the best backup catchers we've had. But relying solely on him for the full 10-day road trip plus a few days back at home with *nobody* else nearby to back *him* up, is frightening at best.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 24, 2010 at 8:31 PM
Maybe we could have finagaled a Molina brother from somebody. Thank god Posada wasn't available or he'd be on the IR with Pudge!JayB offers so many options in his posts. I even believe he's been lobbying for the recently demoted Chuck James to join our starting staff.Jaime Burke will be OK for a week or two. Everyone relax.
- Bowdenball - May 24, 2010 at 8:33 PM
K.D. and Rachel, I'm not sure which Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman you've been watching, but the ones I've been watching are ice cold. Since that 14 run outburst in Colorado ten games ago they've combined for a grand total of seven RBIs. Seven RBIs over ten games from your 3 and 4 hitters combined isn't what I'd call "producing." I used RBIs because that's what I assumed you meant by producing, but for sabermetric types, I assure you their OPSs have been plummeting.I'm sure they're just in mini-slumps and it's nothing to be worried about, but let's not pretend they're producing when they're not.
- rmoore446 - May 24, 2010 at 8:44 PM
Quick question JayB: back in the spring were you posting using the handle: "Peric"? The tone and style are very similar.
- Mark Zuckerman - May 24, 2010 at 8:45 PM
If you guys haven't seen the update I posted at the top of the page, the Nats are going to purchase Carlos Maldonado's contract from Syracuse and make him Wil Nieves' backup for now.
- Rachel - May 24, 2010 at 8:57 PM
d'oh. Guess i was wrong. But if Rizzo makes a move to acquire another catcher in the next 10 days, I still get bragging rights.
- Jaxpo Nat - May 24, 2010 at 9:12 PM
Look, I dread seeing Nieves in the lineup just as much as the next guy, but, as a back up, I guess he is adequate. Let us not forget that he was the Yankees backup for a brief time before he came to DC. Look around the league at other team's backups. Hanigan? A. Ellis? J. Lucroy? And those are on winning NL clubs (Reds, Dodgers, Brewers). And once again, who do you trade-mongers want Rizzo to plug in? Yes, he can just simply pull the trigger and have Russell Martin or Brian McCann tomorrow. No, you think trading is a far simpler process than it really is. Hopefully Pudge will be back soon.
- Dan - May 24, 2010 at 9:44 PM
Maldonado has been catching Strasburg in Syracuse. Just saying.
- Jim Webster - May 24, 2010 at 10:05 PM
OK naysayers, cut 'em some slack. Matt LeCroy is still on the payroll and can borrow a mitt. Failing that, isn't my man Robert Fick unsigned somewhere?
- JayB - May 24, 2010 at 10:14 PM
Mark,Can you please get us some detailed information on Flores. What baseball related activities is he doing and at what level….Hitting live pitching or not, Playing in games behind the plate or not. Throwing at what distances and in game settings or not….This is going to turn into a major issue very soon. Pudge is not going to catch 120 games this year and if they play Will N. any more than backup role of 30 -40 games the team will be putting up a white flag. What is the story on Flores please.

So Ivany had a passed ball in Strasburg's start tonight giving up Strasburg's 1st run (unearned) in his AAA career and he just gave up a seeing eye single for the 1st earned run.

Strasburg must have been distracted tonight by that hot blond rocking the red top in that seat right behind the plate.

Well, Rizzo's been talking to Houston. Have to wonder if Jason Castro's (no, not the singer) name has been bandied about? He is a top catching prospect in AAA who may be blocked by the current starter? AND THIS GUY BATS LEFT!

This is off on a completely different subject, but did anyone catch Mrs. Matt Capps on MASN during that Nationals Foundation dinner the other night? OMG. Prettiest. Baseball. Wife. Ever.She used to be Mrs. Johnny Sauter of NASCAR fame. That didn't work out. She's now Mrs. Matt Capps.To paraphrase: "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth…"

Yeah, Strasburg's start today reminded me just how important a good catcher is… a catcher who can't block strikes, calls the game predictably, and has trouble throwing guys out can be the difference between winning and losing a ballgame. Not that Strasburg lost, but most of our other pitchers are not Strasburg either.

Is there anything better than a person whining about other people whining? Oh, and don't forget the third-grade level insult… Good stuff.

text: Gordonsville, Virginia May 6th, 1862 My Dear Sallie, Enclosed I send you a nice collar, a present from Miss Eddie Jones, one of the nice young ladies here where I board. It is to be prized the more highly because it is the work of her own delicate hands. The young ladies, three in number, call in to see me two or three times a day, doing everything in their power to make me comfortable and contented, and on their visit yesterday evening, Miss Eddie brought in this collar to show me, remarking that "that was her day's work." I admired it very much. She asked me if you would wear it if she were to send it to you. I told her with the greatest pleasure, upon which she requested me to send it to you saying that it was from a "Rebel Country Girl of Virginia." So I send it and suggest that you call it "The Rebel Virginian." She says since the "Rebellion" broke out, they can't purchase such things, and she has from sheer necessity learned to make them herself, which is a noble example worthy of emulation. I am not so well today as yesterday, having had a slight return of my disease last night, though by prudence I think I will soon be all O.K.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a vaccine to delay or prevent recurrence of disease in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma that has been surgically removed and treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The vaccine is called the Wilms Tumor-1 (WT-1) vaccine. WT-1 is a protein in cancer cells that regulates gene expression and causes cell growth. Mesothelioma tumors generally have high levels of WT-1.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive non-specific immunotherapy with medications called montanide and GM-CSF. The other group will receive more specific immunotherapy with the WT-1 vaccine plus montanide and GM-CSF.
Both montanide and GM-CSF are commonly given with vaccines because they boost the immune response. Some researchers believe that this general increase in the immune system may have some effect in treating cancer.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

North Perry Airport (HWO) received the FAA Southern Region's 2010 Runway Safety Award. The FAA chose HWO over hundreds of airports in the Southern region for runway safety initiatives completed this past year.
In 2009, North Perry Airport experienced an unusually high amount of runway incursions. While the incidents were not the fault of the airport, staff decided more proactive measures might reduce aircraft incidents. During 2010, professionals from Airport Operations, Maintenance, and Development devised a plan to help eliminate the problem.
The plan included:
The purpose of these provisions is to define Minimum Standards the Aviation Department will apply to the conduct of general aviation activities at the County's Airports. The following provisions state the qualifications and criteria established by the Aviation Department as the minimum requirements that must be met by Commercial and Noncommercial Operators engaged in on Airport general aviation activities for the right to conduct those activities at the County's Airports.
The operating standards outlined in the Minimum Standards Policy are the minimum requirements for Commercial Operators and Noncommercial Operators that operate at the County's Airports and provide the stated general aviation activities at the County's Airports.

These laws are also distinguished by their different eligibility requirements and the benefits they provide. The definition of a disability is much broader under Section 504 than it is under IDEA. All IDEA students are covered by Section 504, where as not all Section 504 students are protected under IDEA. An IEP, which is provided to students covered by IDEA, must be tailored to the child's unique needs and must result in educational benefit. However, a Section 504 Plan provides accommodations based on the child's disability and resulting weaknesses, but does not require academic improvement.
Additionally, fewer procedural safeguards are offered to children and parents under Section 504 than under IDEA.

Versatile super amino emerges as an invaluable muscle carnosine maximizer and performance enhancer!
For years, Beta Alanine has enjoyed a sterling reputation among hardcore bodybuilders who recognized and valued its central role in several processes of muscle growth and repair. The amino acid alanine, a primary transporter of nitrogen, is highly involved in protein synthesis, and is the primary glucogenic amino acid for the production of usable glucose from glycogen. Linked with histidine, it forms carnosine, a critical element in the muscle-building equation.
Lately, however, the good news about beta alanine has been accumulating at an astounding rate. A swiftly growing body of research indicates that beta alanine plays a much more critical role in anabolism than even its most dedicated users might have imagined. Specifically, beta alanine is emerging as a key agent in promoting significant increases in muscle carnosine, primarily by helping to buffer the effects of lactic acid. Fast-twitch muscle fibers, in particular, generally have high carnosine levels. As carnosine levels increase in muscle cells, they lead to a reduction in neuromuscular fatigue and consequent increases in muscle recovery and performance output.
In a recently published study(1), a series of experiments were conducted to assess beta alanine's effects on muscle carnosine levels. Researchers examined the effects of supplementing with 800 mg of beta-alanine given multiple times daily for four weeks on muscle carnosine levels. After 4 weeks of supplementation, muscle carnosine levels were significantly elevated by as much as 66%. This increased level of muscle carnosine was credited by the authors with a significant effect on intracellular buffering. In one of the first studies(2) to assess the combined effects of creatine monohydrate and beta-alanine supplementation, researchers randomized healthy men into four supplementation groups: placebo, creatine monohydrate only, beta-alanine only, and creatine monohydrate plus beta-alanine. Before and after 4 weeks of supplementation they all performed an exercise test that progressively increased in intensity while measures were made of their metabolic responses. The combined creatine and beta-alanine condition was the only group to demonstrate an increase in lactate threshold. This means that subjects in this group could exercise longer and at a higher intensity without accumulating toxic substances that can lead to fatigue. The findings provided preliminary evidence that creatine and beta-alanine may work together to produce favorable metabolic adaptations within skeletal muscle that translate into more efficient performance.
Additional work continues to be published on beta alanine, establishing it as a potent agent for increasing muscle buffering capacity through enhancement of muscle carnosine levels. Meanwhile, the remarkable effectiveness of this powerful amino has not escaped the researchers at ProSource. We were one of the first manufacturers to introduce a pure, premium-grade Beta Alanine.
When it comes to your workout regimen, better results are gained by way of increased performance. Work out longer, harder, and more productively with ProSource Beta Alanine!

The New York Times has a good article on the impact that Facebook and Twitter are having on culture today.
Social scientists have a name for this sort of incessant online contact. They call it "ambient awareness." It is, they say, very much like being physically near someone and picking up on his mood through the little things he does — body language, sighs, stray comments — out of the corner of your eye. Facebook is no longer alone in offering this sort of interaction online. In the last year, there has been a boom in tools for "microblogging": posting frequent tiny updates on what you're doing. The phenomenon is quite different from what we normally think of as blogging, because a blog post is usually a written piece, sometimes quite long: a statement of opinion, a story, an analysis. But these new updates are something different. They're far shorter, far more frequent and less carefully considered. One of the most popular new tools is Twitter, a Web site and messaging service that allows its two-million-plus users to broadcast to their friends haiku-length updates — limited to 140 characters, as brief as a mobile-phone text message — on what they're doing. There are other services for reporting where you're traveling (Dopplr) or for quickly tossing online a stream of the pictures, videos or Web sites you're looking at (Tumblr). And there are even tools that give your location. When the new iPhone, with built-in tracking, was introduced in July, one million people began using Loopt, a piece of software that automatically tells all your friends exactly where you are.
So how does all of this fit together?
This is the paradox of ambient awareness. Each little update — each individual bit of social information — is insignificant on its own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends' and family members' lives, like thousands of dots making a pointillist painting. This was never before possible, because in the real world, no friend would bother to call you up and detail the sandwiches she was eating. The ambient information becomes like "a type of E.S.P.," as Haley described it to me, an invisible dimension floating over everyday life.

Changing Demographics Threaten Republican Texas
Yes, demographics talk will dominate the political discourse — and it should worry us. : Immigration, as an issue, and Republican ineptitude to convey : a sensible policy to ameliorate our perceived anti-immigrant leanings, ruined the Californian Republican Party forever. : Furthermore, New York and Pennsylvania are, to coin a term from Senator-elect Ted Cruz, "unalterably" Democratic. : Based on the last presidential election, we're already down 104 electoral votes coming out of the gate — and with Texas' demographic realignment, we could see the Lone Star state revert back to it's Democratic leanings. : Thus, the largest bloc of guaranteed electoral votes for Republicans would either swing to the liberals, or be up for grabs. : That would be 142 electoral votes Democrats would lock up just because their people showed up to vote. : Not only is that unacceptable, but it'll spell the end of the Republican Party winning presidential contests.
Ted Cruz, who was featured in Ryan Lizza's : Nov. 19 piece in The New Yorker, has a grim warning.
If Republicans do not do better in the Hispanic community," he said, "in a few short years Republicans will no longer be the majority party in our state." He ticked off some statistics: in 2004, George W. Bush won forty-four per cent of the Hispanic vote nationally; in 2008, John McCain won just thirty-one per cent. On Tuesday, Romney fared even worse.
"In not too many years, Texas could switch from being all Republican to all Democrat," he said. "If that happens, no Republican will ever again win the White House….if Texas turns bright blue, the Electoral College math is simple. We won't be talking about Ohio, we won't be talking about Florida or Virginia, because it won't matter. If Texas is bright blue, you can't get to two-seventy electoral votes. The Republican Party would cease to exist. We would become like the Whig Party. Our kids and grandkids would study how this used to be a national political party. 'They had Conventions, they nominated Presidential candidates. They don't exist anymore.' "
As Republicans plan to have a long discussion on how to court Latinos more effectively:
…Ted Cruz argues that Hispanics can be won over by appeals to traditional values of hard work. "I've never in my life seen a Hispanic panhandler," he said, as we rode out of San Antonio. "In the Hispanic community, it would be considered shameful to be out on the street begging." He added, "They have conservative values. Hispanics don't want to be on the dole. They're not here to be dependent on government." He rejected the idea that Republicans needed to go back to the Bush-era policies on immigration. "I think those that say that, for Republicans to connect with the Hispanic community, they need to adopt amnesty and not secure the borders, I think that's foolishness."
Many Republicans in Texas suggested that the fact that Cruz is Hispanic is enough for him to win votes in that community. To prove the point, some mentioned Quico Canseco, a Republican who won a Texas House seat in 2010 in a Democratic district by running as a Tea Party conservative, and whose reëlection bid this year was closely contested. His district is sixty-six per cent Hispanic and spreads some six hundred miles, from San Antonio to the western edge of Texas. It includes most of the state's border with Mexico. Like Cruz, Canseco, both in 2010 and in 2012, ran as an opponent of the kind of immigration reforms championed by George W. Bush. A few days before the election, when I interviewed Canseco, who is the son of Mexican immigrants and was born in Laredo, a border town that is ninety-six per cent Hispanic, he gave no hint of moderation on any of the immigration issues that have become so important to conservative Republicans in the past few years.
However, that's just one congressional district. : Like women, Hispanics aren't a monolithic voting bloc. : Cubans tend to vote Republican, although Mitt Romney lost this demographic by two points this year in Florida. : That should alarm all of us. : What inroads we have left with this demographic are crumbling rapidly. : Puerto Ricans lean Democratic — and Tejanos lean Republican due to their history in the state's roots, according to Lizza. : It may be a multi-tiered outreach project. : If so, that's great. : So, let's dial down the secession petitions — and work on our comeback.
