Could John Lannan get a third consecutive Opening Day start?
Major League Baseball unveiled its 2011 schedule the other night, and once you got over the weirdness of a baseball season starting on a Thursday, you started wondering about other stuff.
Like: Who in the world is going be the Nationals' Opening Day starter?
This franchise doesn't exactly have an illustrious list of Game 1 hurlers. Livan Hernandez got the honors in 2005 and 2006. John Patterson did it in 2007. Odalis Perez(?!) threw the first pitch in Nationals Park history in 2008. And John Lannan took the ball each of the last two seasons.
For the most part, their counterparts were big-name, veteran starters worthy of such an assignment. Guys like Tom Glavine (2006, Mets), Tim Hudson (2008, Braves) and Roy Halladay (2010, Phillies). Jon Lieber (2005, Phillies) maybe doesn't rank with those three, but he was a solid starting pitcher for a long time. Dontrelle Willis (2007, Marlins) has seen his career fall to pieces, but at the time he owned a career 58-37 record. And Ricky Nolasco (2009, Marlins) may not be a household name, but he was coming off a 15-win season.
Point is, every Opening Day in Nats history has featured a pitching matchup that favored the opposition.
Ah, but that will finally change on March 31, 2011, because while presumptive Braves ace Tim Hudson may be a three-time All-Star,Read more »

Carl Pavano? Javy Vasquez?
- jcj5y - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Please don't let it be Carl Pavano. And I just read a piece yesterday about Vasquez's decline in velocity (fastball is now averaging 89 as opposed to 91) and command, strongly suggesting there's something more wrong with him than his move to New York.I agree that it should be Livo if they don't acquire anyone else. But I strongly favor making the best offer they can justify to Cliff Lee. I know the chances of him accepting are about as low as they were for Teixeira, but I don't think that ought to discourage the effort.
- ChicagoNatsGirl - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:14 PM
Livo, hands down. I believe he's the least likely to totally humiliate us.
- Sec314 - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:17 PM
Livo can handle the spotlight and he always starts strong.
- erocks33 - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Brandon Webb. He'll sign a one-year, incentive-laden contract this offseason to prove to everyone that he's healthy so he can then sign a long-term deal after the 2011 season.
- natsfan1a - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:31 PM
¡Livo! (Did you seriously think I'd say anything else?)
- Anonymous - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:31 PM
It has to be Livo. Lannan has gotten shelled in his two opening day starts.
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:32 PM
Cliff Lee should get the ball for opening day 2011!
- markfd - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:33 PM
Livo deserves it but if not Livo it should be Marquis.
- BinM - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:38 PM
Barring an off-season trade or FA pickup, it's a tossup between Livo & Lannan.
- autobits - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:55 PM
I'd put Livo there. Just because he shouldn't be the ace doesn't mean he isn't. He is the only guy on our staff who can handle that assignment without feeling the pressure. Definitely not Lannan. I would put him in the middle of the rotation and leave him there all year.Of course that all changes if we sign an ace, but does anyone really think that is going to happen?
- Steve M. - Sep 16, 2010 at 2:59 PM
I think it is whoever steps up in Viera in the Spring should get the nod to start Opening Day.What is interesting is Mark Zuckerman, like most of us, has identified 4 of the 5 starters (Livo, Lannan, Marquis, JZim) for next year and it will just be a matter of seeing if Maya or Detwiler takes the 5th spot (in my opinion). Detwiler certainly has shown he can be a key lefty in relief and maybe long relief so he should be in the mix regardless.I just don't know if you waste any money on any front line starters in 2011 unless you can get a proven commodity as I agree with erocks33, Rizzo will go after his boy Brandon Webb in a Wang type of deal. Risky spending $2 to $3 million on another reclamation project. Do the Nats need it?The quality is so poor overall in Free Agency this year that I think a trade would be the best thing for the Nats in improving this team.
- Feel Wood - Sep 16, 2010 at 3:05 PM
"What do you think? If you're Jim Riggleman, who are you handing the ball to on March 31, 2011?"The next guy in line at the memorabilia show where managers go after they get fired. Although it really is a stretch to think that anyone would actually wait in line for Riggleman's autograph, isn't it?
- Section 222 - Sep 16, 2010 at 3:21 PM
I'll vote for Livo, even if we acquire another starter. Unless that starter is Lee which is not going to happen. Remember, Lannan got the call this year even though Marquis had been acquired, based on his performance last year. Livo's performance this year justifies being given the honor.
- sjm105 - Sep 16, 2010 at 3:24 PM
I actually don't mind them risking their money on Webb. Can't be any worse than Wang who is not mentioned by anyone. If Wang does miraculously heal, he has to be considered as well. I agree it should not be Zimm and I like the idea of leaving Lannan in the 3/4 spot all season. Sooo it looks like Livo almost by default unless Wang or Webb surprises us in the spring. Still a lot better situation than last year. 1. Hernandez2. Webb/Wang (dreaming here of completely healed pitchers)3. Zimm4. Lannan5. Marquis6. which is really 5 because #2 is a pipe dream – Detwiller/MayaThe next question for this group to answer is who is batting behind R.Zimm next year. Sign Dunn!!

Trade for Grienke and Garza. Try to sign Cliff Lee. After the offseason is over then revisit. But for now innings eaters and guys like Zimmermann and Detwiler who if anything have been inconsistent … NO.Maya could end up replacing LIvo as the staff ace … his stuff looks good enough … he just needs to acclimate perhaps work in Viera in the winter or in winter ball and have a good ST. He may be your opening day starter.
- cadeck13 - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:06 PM
Livo!! He's earned it.
- Richard - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:08 PM
I'd go with Livo. The man's earned it. And this post highlights — again — the mess of a rotation Riggleman was handed for 2010 — and Acto/Rigglemean got for 2009. Blaming Riggleman for the 2010 debacle is wrong and unfair.

I can't say if it is real or psychological but when I watch Zim in a game where Dunn isn't hitting behind him like yesterday, Zim does nothing with the bat.THAT, should be the main reason Rizzo gets Dunn signed for the comfort level of the franchise player.

It should go to the staff ace who was Strasburg. Next in line is whoever shows they have the best Spring.So I agree with Steve M. And DC Wonk on this one.My prediction for best Spring is Jordan Zimmermann because he has ace stuff when he puts it all together.
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:35 PM
@Anon 1150 – Oh what could have been, Rizzo is kicking himself for not pulling the trigger on that one as I doubt any compensation we get for Dunn will amoout to anything.@BQ – much like when Tex was a free agent, the Nats will go after Lee because they have to, attendance is going to drop off significantly until Strasburg and Harper show up in 2012 so what is therer to lose you have to get the fans interested in something, so why not a great story line of the prodigal son returns to his home, the Expos/Nats franchise, even if he is here for only a year, he is 10 times better than all 5 of our current starters combined.
- ThrowsLikeSteveSax - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:38 PM
Bryce Harper said he could take the mound.
- Steve M. - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:47 PM
My apologies to Marquis and Lannan. About 3 months ago, I thought both of you guys were done, and happily you both proved me wrong. Nothing I write here is personal, it is my observations of what I see out there on the field. I love being proved wrong in the positive direction. I am sure some of the players read these sqawkings, and I hope Rizzo, StanK and Lerner read this too.My underdogs from Spring Training were Morse and Bernadina and both stepped up as valuable pieces for the future. If the Nats believe in Morse and help him with his weaknesses, he is a future Jayson Werth. If the Nats extend Dunn, this team will go into 2011 better only needing to improve the bench and add 1 or 2 to the bullpen and have a healthy Willingham back too.2012 will be the year to watch as Bryce Harper simply will terrify more pitchers than Heyward and Stanton, and with Strasburg back will look like a contending team. That is where the building points to, 2012 for the playoffs!
- citizen16 - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:48 PM
From MZ's list, I'd go with Livo. He is experienced and has been the most consistent this year.I really think Rizzo is going to acquire another starter during the winter. As others have pointed out, the current list of starters for next year is better than what the team started with at the beginning of 2010, but it's still a work in progress. My guess is that Rizzo signs or trades for another pitcher like Marquis (veteran, innings eater, playoff experience). And I'm hoping the new guy will have the profile to be the opening day starter next year.
- Anonymous - Sep 16, 2010 at 5:57 PM
@Natsnut, you must be confusing Lannan with Strasburg?? … he is still just a fifth starter … his ERA and ERA+ is the worst ever … Lannan's number of quality starts has dropped to 11 from 19 and 21 the last 2 years. Even with his resurgence he has shown a marked decline. At age 26? He's an innings eater when he's at his best not an ace.Livo, meanwhile has 20 quality starts to this point. Much better ERA and ERA+. But he too at this point is an innings eater?They need someone different from Lannan, Livo, and Marquis if they plan on improving next year. Or we could see a reversal.
- Anonymous - Sep 16, 2010 at 6:05 PM
And Harper_ROY_2012? One shouldn't expect to see Harper before 2013. He has a long way to go and he is just starting at the end of 2011. Unless he hits well over .400 at every level they put him at …
- Nattydread - Sep 16, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Interesting question.Six months ago, us Kool Aid drinkers were speculating that, come September, we'd be near .500 and our pitching staff would have lifted us like the cavalry.Unfortunately,Strasburg crashed and burned.Lannan lost it and spent 2 months in AA to get his stuff back.Marquis was $15M of damaged goods. Olsen flashed brilliance but provided equal measures of bad pitching and bad attitude.Zimmermann is taking longer than expected.The crap shot on Wang was just that — a crap shot.Only the gamble on Livo panned out.So we go back to 2011 with the same guys, a starter corps that could be the foundation of a .500 team. If. And only if…My bet is that they give the ball to Marquis. Money talks.

Steve M wrote:My apologies to Marquis and Lannan. About 3 months ago, I thought both of you guys were done, and happily you both proved me wrong.And for the second time in this thread I'm complimenting your post.There's a big lesson in here, btw. Evaluating baseball talent is a extremely difficult, and, not only that, one has to have a *whole* lotta patience. Lots of folks here thought Bernadina would go nowhere. Lots of folks thought Morse would be an elite hitter, and then two months later thought he was a nothing. After Desmond got off to a slow start in the minors last year, folks thought he was overrated, too. Folks thought Pudge was almost his former self, then they thought he was completely over the hill, and yet he here is, still, with a higher BA than Dunn, Bernadina, and just .001 lower than Willingham. Morse and Desmond who both had extended cold streaks are now the only two guys on the team with a BA higher than .300 for the past 30 days.But the guys up close (Riggs, Rizzo), the guys who see them every day, the guys who really study them with their own eyes . . . probably have a better idea than we do about "up side", etc.And they sure have a whole lotta more patience than we do!!And so it goes. It takes a long time to figure out whether somebody's going to be good at the MLB level. Further, sometimes the smallest adjustment can render a good player awful, or vice versa.

@Anon 205pm – If Harper goes to the AFL this year and excels I think he will be at Harrisburg in 2011 and the Opening Day RF in 2012 if he excels there. He is Jason Heyward only better!
- sjm105 - Sep 16, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Several questions answered and some unanswered by the posters. Are we going to be happy if the Nationals get to 81 wins next year? I am thinking that would be a pretty nice achievement with this roster.Count me among the people that think Harper will be in the majors at 19. If we have Dunn, Espinoza, Desmond, R. Zimm, Ramos, in the infield and a decent group of starters it would seem the only positions to tweak are in the outfield. Are they discussing which outfield position they want Harper to play?
- Josh - Sep 16, 2010 at 7:53 PM
It should be JZimm because with him we will have the best chance to win. Simple as that. Putting Livo out there and expecting him to repeat his '10 season is just like putting Lannan out there this year–it's making him a sacrificial lamb.

I said it before the season started and while the season was continuing that Lannan is a #4 or #5 starter on a team that is competing for the playoffs.Livo has done an admirable job here but lets not fool ourselves in thinking he is a #1.The only player on that list that has ace stuff is Jordan Zimmermann although he hasn't earned Opening Day yet so I agree with Steve M., DC Wonk, and others that Spring Training results should decide who gets it.I also agree with the optimism on Bryce Harper. Hoping he gets to go to the AFL.

If Zimm pitches well in spring training, then he's our ace and gets the start. It's his position to lose and rather than viewing it as adding pressure on him, I think it could be a huge confidence booster.

There is no way to know who our starter will be in next year's opener. If I had to place some kind of bet I would guess Zimmermann, but it could be Marquis, or Livo, or Lannan again, or Detwiler, or Olsen, or Maya, or Wang, or someone who isn't even on the current 40-man roster.With so many guys coming off surgery we'll have to wait to see how they perform in spring training to make any kind of reasonably educated guess. Some will come back stronger, some weaker, it's all a crapshoot.
- Anonymous - Sep 17, 2010 at 3:51 PM
Of the four listed, I'd say that I'm 60/40 for Lannan/Livo right now, and adjust that based on how they look in spring training. But who I'd LIKE to see start? Wang. If he's better.

I'm looking for a protective matte spray to use over my mid-fire porcelain mini-dish. Which of your matte sprays do you recommend? - Asked by Grace on 07-Mar-13
You can use either the Duncan Super Matte or the Duncan Clear Matte if the surface of the porcelain has been painted with an acrylic-based paint. - Answered by MisterArt on 15-Mar-13I've sprayed my ceramic piece with Duncan Clear Matte. The problem is that the sealer was too old so it became glossy instead of matte. How can I remove it or at least reduce it to a matte finish? - Asked by Pierre on 02-Mar-13
The Ceramic sealers are permanent once applied. By using a remover, it may ruin your ceramic piece. If the spray is old or defective, we would suggest returning the product back to the store you purchased it from. There is no product that will make the sealer workable again. - Answered by MisterArt on 07-Mar-13Is there any way I can paint on bathroom tiles and then spray or brush on a glaze to lock in the paint so it doesn't wash off? - Asked by Tracy Tartaglione on 25-Feb-13
Since the tiles have already been glazed and sealed, the paint will not adhere to the surface of the tiles. You would need to apply a primer to strip the surface of the tile first. You may also have to sand the surface as well. Once this has been done, you can apply a paint to it. You can use the Delta air dry perm-enamel paints or the Liquitex Glosses paints. - Answered by MisterArt on 26-Feb-13I chalk a lot of ceramics and I need a matte spray in between each chalk application.

At the page nine of the article Intel Core i5 2500K Linux Performance it's said
This is a false statement and should be corrected ASAP, as the untrue info potentially affects many Linux users. The K version is better for overclocking, but it has some features crippled compared to the non-K version. It lacks trusted execution and VT-d support. See the product details of the 2500 and 2500K, the Advanced Technologies table.There is also the Core i5 2500 non-K processor that retails for about $10 less than the K version, with the sole difference being the 2500K being an unlocked processor so it will be able to overclock better. If doing any overclocking, you are best off with the K variant.
Especially the latter might be a deal-breaker. VT-d support allows a host machine to share physical PCI devices to guest hosts when running KVM based virtualization systems. With the new Sandy Bridge K processors you can't do that. Many people might want to experiment with this features as it's supported by modern Linux distributions. But you need the non-K processor for that.
I guess Intel is crippling the overclockable processor because those interested in overclocking probably aren't interested in enterprise features (though people at this forum might make an exception to this assumption). This way they also prevent cheap-ass people from building servers with "too good" power/performance/price ratio using the over clocked K processors thus leaving room for their upcoming Sandy Bridge Xeons...

Just picked this up at my friendly local hobbyshop, apparently it only arrived a couple of days back.
Anyway thought you guys might be interested to see what's inside:
Apoligies for the quality of the pics, if anyone is especially interested I can take some more detailed shots tomorrow.
Overall the kits looks very nice and should hopefully go together nicely. Instructions are very well done, particularly painting wise as they allow for several different boats in a variety of schemes.
Now the VIID MineLayer is a comparatively unsual choice for Revell to choose IMHO, considering only half a dozen were ever completed. However it looks like they are leaving the option open to release an earlier VIIC model because they have removed part of the sprue (though it appears on the instructions as a part not to be used) containing a shorter mid deck section, bearing in mind the VIIDs were essentially stretched VIICs, though therefore a new hull ,amongst other details, would be required also.

Hi: 18° Lo:10°
It was a long time coming, and has gone in a flash.
However, it leaves behind all sorts of memories that have taken me to the depths and peaks of emotion that I will never forget.
For many years now I've been a member of the Great Britain Hockey Performance Squad based at the National Sports Centre at Bisham Abbey in Buckinghamshire. From here we have trained hard, and for most of the time competed for England in European and World Hockey Tournaments around the world. We only in fact come together as GB for the Olympics!
Over the last 4 years we have seen our world ranking rise from 6th to 4th, and this has been reflected in our Tournament placings. In 2011, as England we won the Bronze Medal at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, and then earlier this year we took Silver at the World Championships in Argentina, the highest achievement in hockey history.
In addition to Hockey I am a keen footballer and played for Aston Villa Ladies, although this had to be curtailed as the Olympics drew closer.
So we approached the Olympics with real ambition, albeit sufficiently grounded never to let complacency contaminate our mind.
However, as the Olympics drew closer, my natural worry was whether at the 11th hour my lifelong ambition would be dashed by not being selected for the GB Olympic squad which would both draw on the other GB countries and be a squad of 16 rather than the usual 18. The squad was due to be announced in May 2012. The time leading up to this dragged very slowly and the weight of worry grew heavier with each passing week. Helpfully along the way our spirits were held up as we first trained with the Marines and then were hosted at many glittering events, most notably being guests of honour at the Epsom Derby when the Queen was in attendance.
Then came the day of the Olympic Squad announcement. We had agreed as a squad that all 29 of the Performance Squad would receive an e mail at 8am on Tuesday …… outlining the 16 selected names for the Olympics.
I had spent the night before with a friend also in the squad, but come the morning I set off for home in Solihull and stopped at the Oxford Service Station to read the news.
My mobile pinged as the e mail came through and I shivered at the prospect of what I was about to read. I didn't even read the words, I went straight to the list of 16. I just couldn't believe it, it must be a typo?? There was my name, a member of the GB Olympic Squad for London 2012. I literally screamed out loud. I'm sure the people in the car next to me in the car park wondered just what was going on!
Back in Solihull my parents and brother were sitting having Breakfast with a friend staying with us visiting from Canada while they waited to hear the news.
I rang home and had just about screamed the words 'I'm selected' when I lost the signal and the phone went dead. My Dad tells the story that Mum was asking 'what did she say, is she in?'
He was so much in shock he refused to repeat what he thought he heard before I called back. Sharing that moment with the people nearest and dearest to me will always stick in my memory.
When I arrived home there followed the most fantastic Champagne breakfast you could imagine, laughing and crying and hugging, a high that probably equaled eventually winning the Bronze.
Following lots of calls the day became surreal.
People often ask me wheat I did in the hours following selection, well I remember we took our Canadian visitor out for the day taking in the sights of Birmingham.
I also visited my grandfather's grave, took him some flowers and said thank you for the inspiration he was to me when he was alive as he was a massive driving force in teaching me the basis of the game.
If things had dragged on the lead up to selection, things were now speeding up as the Press whipped up a National frenzy.
Everything was a publicity event including the most incredible Kitting Out process held at Loughborough University.
I picked up enough Adidas, Next and Stella McCartney gear for me to open a shop, much of which is still unopened.
Moving to the Athletes Village was incredible suddenly to be surrounded by the best athletes in the world.
Team GB certainly had simply the best of everything and we were the envy of the rest of the world.
Nothing was spared. LOCOG not only thought of all our needs but also the thoughts and needs of the athletes 'Nearest and Dearest', credit to them all.
So, seven games between us and our Olympic goal.
We started well with a 4-0 win against Japan in which I scored.
The crowd was amazing which lifted us incredibly. Two more good wins and then our good start to the campaign faltered as we lost to China in the heats. We shouldn't have lost this game though it wouldn't stop us getting to the semi finals. In the semi's we met Argentina, the World Champions. We still felt confident although on the day they turned up and we didn't, until it was too late. I have never felt so drained as when the final whistle went. Most of us simply collapsed on the pitch, the dream of Gold was now over.
After a brief period of soul searching there followed rapid refocusing on the opportunity that still remained. It is a credit to every member of the squad and management team that by the time we went out to play New Zealand for the Bronze nothing was going to get in our way and we gave the performance we should have given against Argentina.
Then we moved to 'Party Time' which started in the world's largest McDonalds at the Olympic Park moved on to Team GB House and then followed on to some great Clubs in the West End. Enough said.
The Bronze Medal remains the focal object through which London 2012 will be remembered but the list memories that will with me for the rest of my life include, the feverish support of the crowd in the stadium and indeed as it spread across the country, the bond I have with the squad, a real band of sisters. I loved the positivity that spread across the nation and how 'bad news was suspended' and the cynics silenced.
So as Olympics climaxed with the London Parade, everyone involved turned to the new challenge.
How can maintain the positivity the Games created. How do we ensure the legacy of the games creates a positive mindset? How can we ensure youngsters turn to Sport? For all it can offer them, health, goals, ambition, plus team and work ethic and so many other positives?
Now comes the difficult part, living up to those 'feel good' words of the moment and putting in the hard miles converting sentiment in to action.
All the Sports Clubs across the country are providing follow up and are having a real measure of success attracting youngsters to explore the benefits of Sport.
Clearly National and Local funds are stretched but it should not be beyond the wit of leaders to find the way to exploit the network of Schools, Colleges and Clubs that already exist to provide healthy options and alternatives for our youngsters and hopefully have a good many more knocking on the door of selection for Team GB destined for Rio in 2016.
It is called Inspiration and Leadership and we need more of it.
Since the Olympics I haven't stopped and recently visited Buckingham Palace where I met the Queen plus many of the Royal Family and the Prime Minister, and I'm loved every moment.
Whether it is working with Schools across the Country, providing Coaching Clinics at Clubs and Colleges, attending fund raising events and Balls it is all providing great opportunity to work for the cause. People everywhere are just looking for some help.
Not surprisingly I am now looking the best way to rebalance my life, optimizing all I have learnt through a life pretty much dedicated to Sport.
I have wonderful friends and family who have supported and funded my ambitions all this time and I owe them a lot. I am also developing my own web site though which I can interact with a wider network, watch this space.

SBNI is a partner in the newly-formed Translational Medical Research Laboratory at UC Santa Barbara. TMRL is a cross-discipline collaboration between the brightest minds at UCSB and renowned physicians practicing at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital to translate biomedical research into real-world solutions in the clinical setting. More at http://tmrl.ucsb.edu/
Physicians and clinicians associated with the Institute also conduct research, making significant contributions to neurosciences. Some of the recent and ongoing studies include:
Closure After Recurrent Stroke Trial
Evaluation of closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using the STARFlex Septal Repair System in patients with recurrent cryptogenic stroke due to presumed paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale who have failed conventional drug therapy.
Joseph Aragon, MD, Principal Investigator
Sponsored by NMT Medical, Inc.
Investigating the Stroke-PFO Connection
A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the STARFlex® Septal Closure System versus best medical therapy in patients with a stroke and / or transient ischemic attack due to presumed paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale.
The CLOSURE I trial compares the effectiveness of permanent PFO closure with the STARFlex® septal repair implant against best medical therapy in preventing a recurrent embolic stroke / transient ischemic attack (TIA) and mortality in patients with a PFO.
Philip Delio, MD, Principal Investigator.
SAPPHIRE Worldwide
Stenting and Angioplasty with Protection in Patients at High-Risk for Endarterectomy
This landmark observational registry characterizes the outcomes of carotid artery stenting with distal embolic protection in high-surgical-risk patients. The devices to be used are the Cordis PRECISE® Nitinol Stent Systems and the Cordis ANGIOGUARD™ XP Emboli Capture Guidewire. The registry will collect prospective data for up to 10,000 patients across 275 clinical practices in the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Patient outcomes will be assessed at select intervals up to one year post-procedure and will provide valuable clinical data contributing to the understanding of the disease.
Alois Zauner, MD, Principal Investigator. Sponsored by Cordis
PENUMBRA – Penumbra Imaging Collaborative Study
A multi-center trial to assess outcome of patients revascularized by the Penumbra System.
Using aspiration and a debulking technique, the Penumbra System is designed to revascularize large vessel occlusions in the intracranial circulation. The primary aim of this study is to gather data on the "real world" experience of the Penumbra System and to determine if there is a correlation between the imaging-defined size of the ischemic penumbra at admission and patient outcome in patients already treated by the System.
A secondary aim is to collect and summarize the 90-day functional outcome data on modified Rankin Scores (mRS) and all cause mortality for the purpose of sample size estimation for a potential randomized concurrent controlled trial.
Alois Zauner, MD, Principal Investigator.
Sponsored by Penumbra, Inc.
Use of the Merci Retrieval System in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The Merci Registry is an ongoing prospective, open-label, competitive enrollment, multi-center, multi-national registry that began in 2007. It seeks to assess real-world use of the Merci Retriever® for thrombus removal in acute ischemic stroke patients.

hard regress.... dont like it. I changed 1 month ago from FGLRX to opensource drivers, 3d is still buggy, but 2d owns, plymouth works ok[with fglrx doesnt] and many good stuff for opensource drivers

Phoronix: How The ATI Catalyst Driver Has Matured Since The RV770 Launch
It has been two years since the ATI Radeon HD 4800 (RV770) series launched so we have gone back since that monumental hardware launch and have re-tested each Catalyst driver release since then to see how the performance has changed for the ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. The Catalyst driver has certainly matured over the course of two years in speeding up the OpenGL performance with this hardware along with bringing new features to their proprietary driver, but it is not exactly smooth sailing.
hard regress.... dont like it. I changed 1 month ago from FGLRX to opensource drivers, 3d is still buggy, but 2d owns, plymouth works ok[with fglrx doesnt] and many good stuff for opensource drivers
i have 4850
Thanks Michael for this comparison. It is quite informative :-)
So there is a noticeable regression on 3D performance for 10.6 hmmm...
Is this because of the 2D engine change?
Very nice comprehensive test. Thanks a lot!
It was a nice find for ETQW.
I just can't wait that OSS stack can handle properly any kind of games, to get ride of fglrx.
What annoys me most in fglrx is video tearing.
What annoys me most is the way that for the OpenGL beta 10.3/10.5/10.6 versions there's been horrible OpenGL bugs on the Evergreen cards that make certain games segfault on lauch or run slowly on 4 series cards. Even more annoying is that I'm pretty sure the bug was confirmed for 10.5 and announced fixed, but the fix didn't make it into 10.6.
Sadly, when running linux, buying latest hardware can be deceiving, as manufacturer either don't give any driver and/or any testing device for the kernel devs to develop a driver.
More deceiving as we should attempt from AMD a premium handling of latest cards as they are particularly friendly with Linux / OSS world.
Nvidia is no better, as it took ages for their binary blob to drive the 8800 2 or 3 years ago, when those cards were ruling the 3D worlds.
Let's hope that with OSS stack and more unified code from fglrx side, this bad story won't happen again...
Tons of regressions illustrated via those tests. And you expect the Evergreen cards to be 'working' when the older cards aren't performing any better than older drivers (e.g. 10.5)? If you don't mind, poor 3D with FOSS drivers, then get ATI?
'Wish I didn't read that article..
I've been told by a few ATI *owners*, in particular HD 4xxx owners, not to bother and go with Nvidia. I heard good things with the 10.6 drivers but those aren't evident in those tests.

Recent Guana Bay Reviews
Villa Leone, Sint Maarten
The property was just as the pictures had showed and Simon was waiting for us upon our arrival. The villa was clean, bright, airy and provided everything that we could have needed for the week. The portable cooler was a blessing for packing picnic beach lunches and keeping food and drinks cold.
We visited several places on both the Dutch and French side. It is very true that the exchange rate on the Dutch side is much more favorable to those coming with dollars, as the Euro is very strong in comparison. If you want great shopping, cheap food and drinks, the Dutch side on the island is the place to go. Front Street in Phillipsburg was amazing. We got great deals on jewelry, alcohol and electronics. There was a place down a small alleyway off of Front Street headed towards the water that advertised 2 beers and 1 Cuban cigar for $3. We had to find out what the catch was! The catch was that there was NO catch. 2 full sized beers and a decent cigar for $3. A nice break in the day if you need one while shopping.
We visited several beaches while on the Island, on both the Dutch and French side. Happy Bay is worth the walk through the woods. Small, secluded with very few people. If water sports and activities are what you are looking for, Orient Beach has everything you could want, but in terms of relaxation and peacefulness, there are far too many people for that. Baie Rouge was very nice and the snorkeling was great with a swim through cave. We highly recommend the conch kebab served at Chez Albert on this beach (watch out though, it is expensive and in Euros). Guana Bay was great for boogie boarding and you can't beat the view of St. Barth's.
We ate a very nice meal at L'Esparade in Grand Case. Right on the water, great food, funny host, excellent service, reasonable prices for a traditional French restaurant. But really, every restaurant on the road is outstanding. Try fried plantains somewhere (lots of places have it), there are great when done well.
If you are looking to get off of the beach for a little bit, we went to Loterie Farm for part of a morning and did their Zip Line and Ropes Course ($45US for the basic course that took us about an hour and $70US for the extreme). Loads and fun and appropriate for lots of ages. There was a 7 year old behind us having the time of her life on a kids course.

I've watched The Colbert Report countless times, but not until the wedding episode did I truly appreciate Colbert's humor and sense of comedy, delivered with grace and humbleness, with no taste of meanness. This host loves and appreciates what he is doing, and he is right good at it. Read more Review posted on Friday, October 4th 2013 at 6:20 am |
