Expanding horizons for Britain's Energy Coast
Last updated at 15:24, Thursday, 22 November 2012
A FORTHCOMING trade mission between Britain's Energy Coast businesses and Japan and South Korea shows the size of the opportunity opening up for Cumbria.
That's the view of the two men who have invested so much in the vision of Britain's Energy Coast to deliver economic and social transformation for West Cumbria.
As Britain's Energy Coast's outgoing acting chief executive, Tom Gilroy, 61, has done so much to get the West Cumbria Economic Blueprint to this stage – a key strategic document launched back in June.
The delivery of the vision is now in the hands of 56-year-old Steve Szostak (pronounced Shostack) as the organisation's newly-appointed chief executive.
We meet up in Workington, both men around the same table, blueprint in the middle. The excitement about where BEC has come from, and where it is going, is palpable.
Tom has done the job he set out to do, combining four previous organisations – BECWEC (formerly West Lakes Renaissance Urban Regeneration Company), West Cumbria Development Agency, West Cumbria Development Fund, and West Lakes Properties Limited into a single organisation – Britain's Energy Coast.
He has done this while maintaining the support of the three nuclear partners – Sellafield, Nuclear Management Partners, and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority – and the three local authorities – Cumbria, Copeland and Allerdale.
He said: "It has simplified the situation for businesses and inward investors with one recognisable brand.
"Before they were confused as to who did what, now they know who to go to. We are now a one-stop-shop."
The merging and strengthening of these organisations was only one of Tom's three primary objectives while at the helm. The others were to get momentum behind the programmes spanning regeneration projects and business support initiatives and to produce a strategic direction for West Cumbria through the blueprint. He sees the appointment of Steve as furthering all of these three key ingredients.
In terms of the regeneration project, which he probably gets asked about most, he is proud of the progress of the Albion Square office complex development in, Whitehaven and the continued improvements being made to the Port of Workington.
Albion Square is seen as an opportunity to have a big impact on the local economy in Whitehaven, with almost 1,000 workers on site, spending their money in the town.
"They will be spending their money in Whitehaven, it's where they will buy their sandwiches at lunchtime, it's the shops and services they will use," says Tom. And it will also help transform mindsets around travel to work in West Cumbria which Tom says is crucial if the area is going to make the most of the infrastructure available.
"It will get 1,000 people off the Sellafield site and represents a lot of cars no longer making that journey," says Tom, who wants to see far greater use of the rail network along the coast, and less obsession with what Britain's Energy Coast is going to mean for the area's roads.
"Eddie Martin (Cumbria County Council leader) talks about the 'art of the possible' and that's the mindset we need to take on roads. It's not about focusing on the impossible – dualling the A66 to Penrith is not going to happen in my lifetime.
"But what we can focus on is what is achievable, such as making the most of the railway system, using the port system. Carlisle Airport also has a very important role to play. We can develop integrated transport hubs at Whitehaven, Workington and Maryport. I'd far rather focus on what we can do, than what we can't."
In terms of timescale for Albion Square, Tom sees the development being handed over to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority for its offices in January. And he sees it being completed by the end of 2014.
The £5.7m investment in the Port of Workington is only the start of what Tom sees as a bright future for the port.
With developments at Sellafield he sees the port as the single most important infrastructure development on Britain's Energy Coast.
Skills and training are also a vital part of the plan. And the new £7m Britain's Energy Coast Construction Skills Centre at Lakes College, Lillyhall, Workington, due to open in April, is a major part of the plan. "It will prepare local people for the opportunities arising within the nuclear and low carbon economy," says Tom.
This is where Steve comes in. He sees part of his role to help bridge the skills gap between the opportunities emerging in West Cumbria and the capabilities of the workforce.
"We know there is going to be a growth in demand for well-paid opportunities and that industry needs certain skills.
"We must narrow the gap between industry need and local skills on offer," he says.
Steve wants the private sector to help bridge that gap and help develop the skills of the local workforce to give the chance to grab the opportunities that are going to become available.
He wants to continue to attract skills from outside the area but not at the expense of the west Cumbria workforce, who he wants to have the skills and training ready to take up the challenge.
"What we don't want is unemployed plasterers sitting at home watching a minibus full of plasterers coming in from away when they could have done the job themselves," he says.
Coming from a regeneration background Steve also sees a strong social benefit from the blueprint in terms of closing the gap between the haves and the have nots.
He said: "There is something wrong when we have areas on Britain's Energy Coast coming out at the wrong end of government indices on fuel poverty.
"We have got to do something about that. I'd hope at the end of my time in this job that (the level of fuel poverty) is no longer the case."
He also wants to see West Cumbria looking more outward for opportunities, highlighting the forthcoming trade trip to Japan and South Korea.
Expanding the horizons of West Cumbrian supply chain companies to seek opportunities in the global nuclear marketplace was identified as a key part of the blueprint.
He said: "Britain's Energy Coast is facilitating 12 businesses from this area to explore businesses opportunities in Japan and South Korea. It is not about Britain's Energy Coast going, although the brand exposure is obviously great; it is about us helping businesses in West Cumbria to market themselves to companies in countries actively looking for link-ups with our world-class supply chain.
"We want companies to start thinking globally because the opportunities out there around the world are vast. This area has been self sufficient and there is nothing wrong with that, but we don't want to be isolationist, we need to explore outside Cumbria, the North West and the UK.
"This trip to Japan and South Korea is West Cumbria dipping its toe in the water and seeking to build business partnerships for the long-haul."
Tom adds that the clean-up job at Fukushima in Japan stands at around £10bn, while there are new build and decommissioning opportunities across Asia and Africa and between 40 to 60 reactors in Europe which need decommissioning. "West Cumbria has to get in on the act," he adds.
West Cumbria itself is facing a potential £90bn nuclear opportunity, he says, including two or three new reactors, a new grid connection, new spent fuel facility, new Mox plant, and new disposal facility.
Plus there's the whole area of innovation and diversification which comes from the mix of energy opportunities on Britain's Energy Coast. These include wet renewables such as tidal and wave and wind as well as anaerobic digestion.
"It is so much more than nuclear and we mean that. Britain's Energy Coast is about building a diverse and sustainable future and we're not looking to put all our eggs in the same basket again," says Tom.
While he believes Britain's Energy Coast will benefit from clarity from government in relation to the nation's energy policy, Tom is satisfied that the initiative has the ear of senior government ministers who know the crucial role the area already plays, and the opportunities for the future.
Steve is keen to continue to build that profile with projects which "turn heads". "If it's to do with energy and it's the world's best, it's got to be here," he says. "We have an important selling job to do.
"Cumbria can be out of sight, out of mind, almost unknown.
"But some of the UK's most exciting projects are going on in this area. We want to turn heads."
Steve's approach, again learned from his regeneration background, is to work collaboratively, to build an "in it together" approach with stakeholders and the community.
He says: "What is great for me is that they have all signed up to the blueprint. The three local authorities have all made a big commitment to this document as well as our funding partners."
And Steve makes no bones about the fact he wants the area to be known for cutting edge technology ahead of its world-renowned Lake District landscape.
"People keep talking to me about tourism, but I'd far rather have half a dozen world-renowned scientists visiting here to see a state-of-the-art renewable energy experiment than half a dozen walkers popping down the coast from Keswick.
"I actually get a buzz when I approach Workington and I see all this industry. I don't mean smog, and grime, and 'it's grim up north'. I mean leading, state-of-the-art industrial innovation.
"I'd like renewable energy researchers and academics to be visiting us for that reason and then, coincidentally, see that we have superb coastline and hills to enjoy during leisure time. That would be a good way round for me."
Tom highlights world class research facilities the area now has with the Dalton Cumbrian Facility and the state of the art technology it will soon be installing there.
"If you provide scientists with one of the best toys in the world to play with, they will come from far and wide to play with it," he said. "And we have it right here in West Cumbria."
He sees a "blossoming area of academia" with the University of Liverpool also now "knocking on the door" at the West Lakes Science and Technology Park, in addition to the well established but equally important institutions such as UCLan and, of course, the University of Cumbria.
"We cannot forget that UCLan was the first and remains crucial to the innovation and R&D agendas, and so much more", concludes Tom.
And this, combined with the natural resources of wind, tidal, wave, and wood, the manufacturing capability, skills and training, and the expertise of the nuclear industry makes for a compelling proposition.
Major decisions lie ahead which will have an even more major impact.
There's the National Grid route with the preferred option being the "ring" route around the edge of Cumbria.
"Not everyone will be happy," says Tom, "because it will mean pylons. But the connection is absolutely vital, not just for West Cumbria but for the energy ambitions of other areas of the county."
He recognises the energy opportunity is countywide, with the whole coast, including Barrow, and energy projects throughout the county, but he's unashamed that the engine room, the core of the activity to drive Britain's Energy Coast, lies in west Cumbria. "A strong west Cumbria makes a strong Cumbria," he says.
He cites superfast broadband as an area where BEC can play an active role and interact with businesses to help deliver a better outcome for Cumbria.
When it comes to the area's health Britain's Energy Coast is a strong advocate of the area's new hospital. And Steve sees benefits from encouraging a healthier population, with the right mindset, to make the most of the opportunities. He sees this as an indirect benefit from some of the social improvements to come from Britain's Energy Coast's investment.
"I want us to work with businesses, organisations and communities to make lasting, sustainable improvements.
"We are not about signing blank cheques, we are about investing in the future. We're shifting from a funding pot to a commissioning agency.
"With our Investing in Business initiative we are talent spotting to fund businesses which are going places.
"I have come from a background where every single penny was important. And that's not a bad approach to have.
"I am looking forward to working with partnerships to make that money sweat and earn a return for Britain's Energy Coast. We need private sector buy-in; they are our biggest advocates. And I want to work with the LEP and help deliver Cumbria's objectives."
Tom says the innovation and diversification elements of the Blueprint were shaped by private sector businesses themselves. "Because of that, they own it and because of that it's likely to be successful," he said. "We've always said that Britain's Energy Coast exists to support businesses in the best way we can – as an advocate, facilitator, and when required, to intervene directly. But at the end of the day it will be the businesses that instigate real economic change and create new business and job opportunities."
Tom is heading back to Sellafield to work on security projects but he'll still be on hand for advice for Steve. And he knows he leaves the Britain's Energy Coast business in good shape.
"This is one of the best teams I have ever worked with," he says. "We are a small organisation which can make a big difference and with Steve and the team there's the passion and drive here to do just that."
Steve says: "I'm like a kid in a sweet shop. Tom has left so many well worked-up projects and there's so many great ideas on how we can take West Cumbria forward. My job is about delivering them and helping to realise this area's undoubted potential."
For Tom the joy will be seeing what he helped start come to fruition. For Steve, the opportunity has only just begun.

"We always looked at the fictitious suburban town, Chatswin, as being the land of the moms. The idea was this family without a mom moves into a town that is dominated and run by moms," said Emily Kapnek, creator of the show, who like Behrs was also a big Carol Burnett fan growing up. "Creating an ensemble of these women who -- parenting is their full time job, not just parenting these children but other people's children. We found the best and brightest we could think of to populate this world."
Those moms include Cheryl Hines of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," in the scene-stealing role of Dallas Royce.
"I think you're getting roles for women that are written by women that come at it differently and feel in some ways more authentic," said Kapnek.
"I was a single mom when I had my older son, and everyone wanted a single mom show and I was always so surprised at the way they wanted to develop those shows. 'Why does she have to be perfect? Why isn't she a mess, why doesn't she fall down on her face?' I think right now, we have so many female show runners, you have a more undiluted feed to what their point of view is and I think people are identifying with that and it feels different."
Bark said that women being behind the camera more and more will be the most important thing.
"This season, (that development) is welcome and it should continue and if these shows work, it will continue." (On that note, already on tap for 2012: NBC's "Are You There, Chelsea?" and ABC's "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23.")
As for right now, "New Girl's" Meriwether said that it's great to see the diversity of shows by and about women being produced.
"I personally think that they are all really funny, so I'm just really happy to be sort of a part of this, whatever it is ... new moment, I guess."

Fun choice! This light is adorable. The glass balls are charming, adding dimension to the overall character. It was a bit challenging to hang because I wanted it flush against the ceiling without the chain, but that wasn't possible. It was also a bit cumbersome to install and we had to make adjustments to the pieces that weren't properly prepared. BUT for such an affordable piece, it was worth it. I don't love the balance of the light bulb placement, but I'm going to try frosted bulbs next time and maybe it won't be harsh to look at.

Nice fixture Product looks nice. It does hang a little low on my ceilings. The metal Lloyd that secure the glass balls are little flimsy.

Iron? Pretty sure it's steel, not iron. All of the tubing is hollow and has vent holes near the welds. That's common on cheap bike frames, but kind of off-putting on something decorative. They're not that easy to see because there's so much going on. On mine, some of the studs that hold the arms with the balls were not straight, so their spacing is a little irregular. Again, hard to tell. Also, one of the nuts stripped out, when I put it together. Mine also had a random extra loop welded on (little loops hold the balls). The glass balls make up for all of the poor Chinese construction. There are 35 of them and they make the whole thing look amazing! When assembling, do yourself a favor and use some small wire nuts when wiring the five light arms to the main wire. The instructions just say to twist them together, which is a fire waiting to happen.

Rip Off We thought we were getting a real wrought iron light fixture and this is just cheap tubing that's has an antiquish paint spayed over it to make it look like real wrought iron. But, that is our bad. The real problem is the quality. There are 10 nuts that come with this light so you can assemble it. They are all supposed to be the same size and style and they are decorative nuts because they are part of the exterior assembly. Well we only had 9 and of those 9 only 4 were identical. THe 4 that were identical were too big. They just slid over the studs they were supposed to screw and tighten down on. I had to use JB Weld inside the nuts and then shove them over the studs. I had to let that epoxy cure overnight to guarantee they didn't fall off. The remaining 5 nuts were the correct size but the wrong depth. You could not tighten them down all the way because either the studs were too long or the acorn style nuts were too shallow. So the entire assembly flops around and you can't align the 5 arms to make it look symmetrical because it is all loosy-goosy. Total waist of money. They have since updated the description, but when we purchased this light it was advertised as having a 72"lg chain. Ours came with a 36". Our ceiling over our breakfast table is vaulted. So I had to buy 72" of antique brass chain and more electrical cord so I could modify this light to fit our needs. Do some research. We already replaced this 5-candlier fake wrought iron light fixture with a REAL wrought iron light fixture that is bigger for ***

Lovely and elegant I fell in love with this chandelier from the moment I spotted it on Overstock's website. It was one of the first items I ordered for our new home and although it stayed packed up in our old apartment for more than month, I knew it was perfect. I bought items for our new home from a variety of websites, including one very popular name brand store with pretty high prices. I was delighted to find this EXACT chandelier on that company's site for almost twice the price! As some have noted in their reviews, it took me about an hour or an hour and a half to assemble it, but it wasn't beyond me. I am not an electrician, but I have assembled just about all of the furniture in our home. And it doesn't matter what store/website you buy something, there will likely be some kind of assembly for it (even if it's just screwing on the legs/feet). I suggest assembling the frame, have an electrician hang it, and then put on the glass baubles and light bulbs. One person talked about it being cheaply made. I don't agree. Yes, it's isn't heavy and solid like traditional wrought iron. If it were, it would be a MAJOR pain to hang from the usual type of ceiling found in modern homes. You would have to find a beam in the ceiling and that would severely limit where the chandelier could hang and thus might put you at odds with your dining table or other furniture in the room. The arms are hollow and painted. Trust me when I say, youand anyone else who sees it once assembledwill never believe it to be cheap or low-quality, at all. It's lovely in our kitchen. We have a simple, small kitchen with a cathedral ceiling and this is what makes the room. Every single person who's seen it comments on how beautiful it is.

Final product is great but parts missing/damaged. The chandelier I received was missing the mounting bolt/plate, but there was (thankfully) two extra crystal balls in their place (packing error?). The packaging needed to be better--two pieces were slightly dented and one crystal had a broken loop, but in the end, after finding replacement pieces at the local hardware store, and using one of the extra crystals (what luck!), it all came together and is just what I wanted. It puts out alot of light! (5x60 watt bulbs) I gave it good rating because I think it's worth exactly what I paid for it, and having to find replacement parts was extremely annoying, but I love the design.

Questions & Answers
Matches table.
it is pretty
Updating a dining room. I liked the style and price.
I love the look and the light output should be great with 60 watt lights
Very pretty! Will fit the house very well!
like the vibe
because it's exactly like the pottery barn version and cheaper!
I would also like to know if this light is dimmable?
Hello wrehberg, this fixture will need to be hard wired by a professional, a professional should be able to install it as a dimmable chandelier. Have a great day!
hello.. is this dimmable?
Hello bkkkang115, this fixture needs to be hard wired. Professional installation is recommended. A professional will be able to install it as a dimmable chandelier. Thank you for shopping with us!
I lost the installation instructions on this, is the hot "black" wire coming on off of this black only and the white "neutral wire" the black wire with the white writing on it?
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Does this chandelier come in a larger size and who make this product.
Not that I'm aware of.
Hello marsteph1234, This is a beautiful chandelier. The Wrought Iron and Crystal 5-light Chandelier doesn't come in a bigger size. we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are these the same color as the Pottery Barn chandeliers?
Thank you for your question thefitzs02. Unfortunately, we do not have the answer to that question. Have a great day.
I don't think so. It's spray painted metal to look like a dark brown oil rub. I think PB is black.
It may be that Pottery Barn's was black, but I studied their picture and I think it's the same dark brown as this one.
yes it is
Are the glass ball smooth or do they have angular edges?
smooth and circular like a ball, but with a small bump with a hole to accommodate the ring to attach it too the fixture.
They are smooth spheres about the size of a golf ball.
I just ordered this product, and wondering about adding a ceiling medallion...how large would the center hole of the medallion need to be to cover the chain or fixture 'cap'?
The fixture cap is about 6" in diameter.
Thank you for your question bath411. The diameter of the fixture cap is 5.1 inches, you would need to have a correct medallion to fit. Have a great day.
Does this fixture come with cap or cover ceiling where a wire comes out?
yes, there is a cover that hides the junction box where it is connected
Yes it does!
Yes, there is a round cap in the matching finish.
I ordered this chandelier but I have lost the instructions for assembly and mounting. Is there a way to get another copy either online or emailed to me?
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
I love this chandelier, however, would rather have it in black. It appears you have one very similar in black, the Messina 5 light wrought iron crystal chandelier. From trying to compare the two pictures, it appears the Messina wrought iron is much thinner and not as thick to give a more "bold" look. Wanting to know if this is accurate , or if the pictures are deceiving. Thank you.
Thank you for your question frisky123. The pictures are accurate and the digital images we display have the most accurate color possible. However, due to differences in computer monitors, we cannot be responsible for variations in color between the actual product and your screen. have a great day.
yes it is much thinner/ wiry/ the pics are accurate , get this one ,, verrry nice ,, to me the other one looks "cheaper"
Can I shorten the chain? My apartment's ceiling is not high at all.
Thank you for your question 888pirchase. Yes, you can shorten the chain. Depending on how short you need it, that should be fine. Have a great day.
Absolutely not a problem. We had to shorten ours and it's simple to do.
Yes, you might have to bend the chain open at one point with a pliers and reclose at another to remove a section, but you can shorten the chain. I didn't use all of my chain, either.
Yes, we shortened it.
How long is the wire/chain on this light. Can I buy additional chain for this?
Thanks for your interest, the chain measures 40 inches long. Unfortunately we do not sell the chandelier chains separate.
Most hardware stores carry chain that would easily match this light.
I did not measure, but I have 10' ceilings and cut off about 8 inches.
Does this come assembled?
No, that's what you pay the big bucks at the major retail store for! You can do it in about an hour. Totally worth the discount.
Assembly is required.
No, you have to assemble it. ( I had the electrician put it together.
No but I assembled it myself with no problems!
1) is this the same chandelier that Pottery Barn has? it has the same name. Just wondering so i would know if it is made of the same material and the same finish. 2) does it come already assembled? under the picture, it shows many pieces and says something like it will need to be assembled.
This chandelier looks exactly the same as the one from Pottery Barn, but there are some differences regarding the chain length and wattage. We saw no differences in material and finish, although we cannot confirm. This item requires assembly.
Can this fixture be spray painted black prior to adding the electrical and glass balls?
You may alter this item in any way you would like upon purchase. Please be reminded that the return policy would not apply to you anymore.
does this come in a larger size with more lights?
Unfortunately, this chandelier is not available in a larger size.
What is the weight?
The shipping weight is 15 pounds, so the item weight would be slightly less than that.
What type of bulbs are needed?
The chandelier requires five 60-watt candelabra bulbs. These are not included.
Can this light fixture be used on a covered outdoor patio?
This item is not weather resistant and does need to be hardwired. It is meant for indoor use only, if you would like to use it outoodrs you can, however it is not recommended.

Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house.

You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures.

They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.

Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement.

READIUS 'Rollable Display' pocket e-Reader concept at IFA 2005
September 5, 2005 After many years of R&D in rollable displays, Philips revealed its Concept Readius at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin, Germany last friday. Philips Concept Readius is a prototype of a connected consumer device for business professionals unwilling to sacrifice readability, mobility, performance, or weight in a pocket-sized, e-reader concept. The Readius is the world's first prototype of a functional electronic-document reader that can unroll its display to a scale larger than the device itself. With four gray levels, the monochrome, 5-inch QVGA (320 pixels x 240 pixels) display provides paper-like viewing comfort with a high contrast ratio for reading-intensive applications, including text, graphics, and electronic maps. Using a bi-stable electrophoretic display effect from E Ink Corp., the display consumes little power and is easy to read, even in bright daylight. Once the user has finished reading, the display can be rolled back into the pocket-size (100 mm x 60 mm x 20 mm) device.

The Nationals have designated left-hander Matt Chico for assignment, clearing one spot on their 40-man roster needed after last week's signing of Chien-Ming Wang.
Chico, who pitched in one big-league game this year, has seven days to either clear waivers and be outrighted to Class AAA Syracuse, be traded to another club or released.
The 27-year-old went 7-9 with a 4.63 ERA as a rookie in 2007, leading the Nationals' pitching staff with 31 starts and 167 innings pitched. But he opened the following season 0-6 with a 6.19 ERA, earning a demotion to the minors. He later informed team officials his left elbow was in pain; he wound up undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing the rest of that season, plus the majority of 2009.
Chico made a full recovery from the injury and pitched well last season, posting a 3.62 ERA in 26 combined starts between Syracuse and Class AA Harrisburg. But his standing on the Nationals' pitchingRead more »

Maxwell and Atilano maybe? I can't see them clearing a spot for Mattheus by DFA anyone they just added to the 40-man.
- Alex - Dec 22, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Do they really have to clear a spot for Mattheus? I thought they didn't need to since they made him available by outrighting him in November. Doesn't need to be on the 40-man roster if no one else picked him up, does he?Any idea by when they have to make room for the Ankiel signing?
- Theophilus - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:18 AM
Should be several clubs — Pittsburgh, KC, Houston, AZ — that need a #5 starter. Chico would fit the bill. Hope someone picks him up. Someone trading for him is too much to hope for. Enough other marginal pitchers on the 40-man roster to provide Christmas presents for every GM on the above list.
- Todd Boss - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:32 AM
Wow, wouldn't have picked Chico. Just by virtue of being lefty he is worth keeping over guys like JD Martin and Atilano. Surprised. 2 more guys to go; i'd go with Martin and Maxwell.

Maxwell for Ankiel and my guess, my hope, is Mock for Mattheus. I wish for a day whenever have to see Garrett Mock pitch ever again.
- Wally - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:38 AM
I like Mock, and see no reason that he can't be as effective as they think Elkin and HRod will be in the bullpen.Maxwell seems like the obvious choice, but I bet they keep him due to a righty that can play CF. I am guessing Atilano

Any chance that with the Ankiel signing that Nyjer gets the Elijah treatment: sent packing with a one-way ticket out of Natstown? IMHO Nyjer's antics and lack of offense painted a bullseye on his back and my read is that Rizzo is looking to purge non-character guys or guys the stain any Nats cred rehab effort.

I'm telling you again and again that Justin Maxwell has 9 lives. My guess is the Orioles will pick him up when they hear he is from Silver Spring, MD as Angelos will think that the Orioles will sell lots of tickets to the Montgomery County fans and family members of Maxwell.

Chico's rookie numbers were almost exactly the same as Jordan Zimmermann's. Both had Tommy John surgery but Chico gets cast aside while the Nationals count the days until Zimmermann returns.No, I don't think for a moment that they have similar talent but I do think that no player should lose his job because of an injury. In his one game stint back in the majors, he gave up two runs in five innings. What was wrong with that?Hopefully, he sticks with the organization.

IN Chico's case the velocity on his fastball actually went down after the surgery. He isn't a finesse pitcher, at least not yet. But he is left-handed which is why they retained him. With Solis, Rosenbaum, Detwiler they now have plenty of left handed prospects I imagine. There's also Tom Milone and Ryan Tatusko. They let Chuck James go as well.

I think Mark Z will confirm that Maxwell is past his option year. If so, they won't be able to yo-yo him up and down to Syracuse every time they need a spare outfielder. Meaning, if he doesn't hit enuf to play regularly, they would have to DFA him eventually. So, logically, might as well do it now. Someone like Brown or Burgess can fill Maxwell's job description. On the other hand, there are so many pitchers on the 40-man roster who are utterly dispensible it seems reasonable to cast them out there, one after another and see if some team is willing to offer a Rookie League 1B or something.
- N. Cognito - Dec 22, 2010 at 3:43 AM
My God. A guy who will never be much good in the majors gets DFA'd and people complain about it.
- Theophilus - Dec 22, 2010 at 4:04 AM
Chico is spunky, and appeared to have potential for improvement, unlike Ohka, Zach Day, Ramon Ortiz and Pedro Astacio, among others that were trotted out every fifth day and apparently didn't give a rat's patootie about being here, so people have sympathy, and regret. But there are a bunch of players — of whom Chico was one and the Nats have had too many, and continue to have too many among their pitchers — that you look at and ask, "Are we ever to get to the NLCS if this guy is my 2B/CF/4th starter, etc.," and the answer is emphatically "No." And as to them, the sooner they get moved out the more opportunities there are to evaluate and develop players who have the potential to play for a winning team.
- Anonymous - Dec 22, 2010 at 4:10 AM
JD Martin may be one of the most competitive (if not the most competitive) player on the roster. Think Werth squared. Its his attitude and bull dog determination. He's not a bad athlete even if his arm (llike Chico's and Sean Burnett's) was adversely affected by the TJ surgery. Fortunately for Nats fans Jordan Zimmermann's was not. Hopefully, the same will be true for Stras.
- Big Cat - Dec 22, 2010 at 11:09 AM
Of Note: Marrero hitting .306 in Ponce of the Puerto Rican Winter League. The kid is gonna hit in the majors.
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 22, 2010 at 12:47 PM
But it's going to be as a DH in the American League. He has hands of stone and feet of lead.
- Paul - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:09 PM
Couple things:1. I think Maxwell sticks. He has too much speed and plays defense too well to go. Plus he is still (sorta) young.2. I know it is the offseason, but why are people concerned over a guy who made one spot start in the majors? He is probably about 11th on the starter depth chart.3. Marrero's defense isn't that bad. He has a better range factor than 2010 GG Pujols had this year (but then again, so did Dunn). If Marrero can hit, they'll find a spot for him.
- NatsJack in Florida - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:29 PM
Hey Paul…. since we had 13 different starters last year, dumping #11 shouldn't hurt too much.And even Bill James will tell you defensive sabremetrics are not very trustworthy.
- alexva - Dec 22, 2010 at 1:50 PM
I'll bet that Manny picks him up for the Tribe. I'll remember his game against the Philthies on the last game of 2007, had the Mets and Glavine not folded that day PHI would have been knocked back to a one game playoff.Good luck Matt.
- JayB - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:15 PM
Njack is right…I watched him in Spring Training the past 3 years….he has the slowest feet around 1st base as anyone I have ever seen. Marrero makes Dunn look like a gold glover….On day I watched 30 mins of one one one drills just trying to get Marrero to get his foot off the middle of the bag….he could not do it….not once.
- Deacon Drake - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:21 PM
JD Martin is the one that will likely be screwed (or blessed)… he much too consistent to be wasting away in AAA, but the Nats are committed to groundball veterans and getting their young guys innings. Martin will resurface somewhere next season and put up some decent numbers.
- sec3mysofa - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Matt did what he could at a time when not much was getting done. Good luck to him.
- Big Cat - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:51 PM
Well, you guys have seen Marrero live and give that report. That has a little merit. I remember when I first saw him in leftfield for PW I thought he didn't have all the tools you normally see in a number one draft pick.
- Steve M. - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:56 PM
Theophilus said… I think Mark Z will confirm that Maxwell is past his option year. If so, they won't be able to yo-yo him up and down to Syracuse every time they need a spare outfielder. Meaning, if he doesn't hit enuf to play regularly, they would have to DFA him eventually. So, logically, might as well do it now. Someone like Brown or Burgess can fill Maxwell's job description.I thought Maxwell had another option year due to an injury a few years ago but Corey Brown is also on the 40 man and is a lefty who had a great 2009 AFL and a very strong finish to 2010. Brown's biggest issue is slow starts so expect him to start out in AAA and be the first option if someone falters. Personally, I think Maxwell has had enough chances and is your consumate AAA+ guy who just can't make the adjustment to the bigs. It happens and Rizzo needs to let it go. Someone will pick up Maxwell and I don't expect any different results.
- JaneB - Dec 22, 2010 at 2:59 PM
I join you all in wishing Chico well. And wondering what went wrong in his recovery from TJ surgery (and Burnett and Martin)? And though I KNOW the Nats FO is all over it — how does that same thing NOT go wrong with Strasburg? Like Paul, I think Maxwell stays up. If Rizzo is all about defense, that's Maxwell's strong suit.
- Theophilus - Dec 22, 2010 at 3:32 PM
I don't think anything went wrong w/ Chico's TJ surgery. He just wasn't very good to begin with. Remember, between Chico and Mock (rec'd for Hernandez from AZ), Nats thought Mock was the better prospect. And we all know how that has worked out.If there is a single, consistent, inexplicable failing in the Nats' management of their minor league pitching projects it is the steady production of pitchers fatally in love with their curve balls — that they can't control and/or flatten out over the plate. Mock is Exhibit A but Storen and others are guilty. Often makes me wonder who's in charge of pitch selection.
- natsfan1a - Dec 22, 2010 at 5:22 PM
As sec3 noted, pre-injury Chico (the pitcher, not the writer) did what he could at a time when not much was getting done. An added bonus was the ball-in-the-stands blooper. Kid's got spunk (and I *don't* hate spunk). I wish him well.
- Anonymous - Dec 22, 2010 at 6:08 PM
Chico the writer, good riddance. Chico the pitcher, maybe not so much. But on balance, the end of the Chico era is a good thing.
- Sofa - Dec 22, 2010 at 6:20 PM
Hey, maybe they'll *both* end up earning a nice living in Japan.
- natsfan1a - Dec 22, 2010 at 6:48 PM
MLBTR reports that Chico (the pitcher) cleared waivers and will be a non-roster invitee to Spring Training.

Yours is really unbelievable and super clean and the style is near and dear to my heart (the use of patterns, repetition, flow of shapes, using the same shape to represent multiple things). Simply put, it is right up my alley. I love it and wish you the best of luck with it (glad to see you are in the top ten now!). Thanks again and take care.
Thanks again folks, at this point I'm not gonna resubmit. But the chair issue was oversight on my part. Either way the water did take entirely way too long to do, especially with only Three shades of color and the shirt color.
bluchez wrote:Wow. Yeah. I can assure you that I was trying to actually prevent bickering in your thread by removing one iteration out of the argument (as most regulars would have recognized). When someone posts a pic without a link, tons of people usually come to the shirt's defense saying they have to prove that it's for sale. I simply followed the picture's URL (that someone else posted) and linked the website. I have not, nor do I have any desire to, searched for shirts related to anything in this derby. But, I guess we now know how quickly you might be willing to become what you and your sister have so vocally spoken out against. Definitely interesting.
I'm the only one that has spoken out about anything... and all I've spoken out against is unnecessary meanness. She has said repeatedly that it was okay, she could handle it. She has been way more gracious than I was, obviously, in the face of all the nastiness. If you're saying that looking stuff up is a mean thing, then you should understand that if you're going to say mean underhanded things about peoples shirts, the least you should expect is for them to check out your standards for your own work in return. Same for posting a link to similar shirts. Whether it was an assist or not, probably not a good idea if you don't want anyone to check and see if your shirt meets the same standard. Anyhow, you're still going a little far with the "how quickly". If this is meanness, it took her two whole days to snap… llo… I wouldn't call that quickly!

I am being absolutely sincere when I say this: this has not been nastiness. At all. Of all the comments posted, only Dekon's struck me as being even close to a personal attack, and he apologized. Saying this shirt doesn't look original is not underhanded. Showing linked proof of that is even less so, as it is a statement of fact (ditto for copy-paste issues). I'm not seeing any mean, except for an insult thrown at someone who thought the shirt was unoriginal. Just chill bro, this is actually a pretty tame derby. If Woot feels the entry is legal according to their rules, it will remain. And that's as it should be.

Migration from CVS to Git
We are currently testing the benefits of migration to git distributed version control.
Currently we have a git repository hosted at github.com:
This is the official branch, it's synchronized with the main CVS trunk every hour, so it should be up to date most of the time.
All developers and potential contributors are encouraged to try out this repository.
Below you can find rudimentary instructions on how to develop Biopython with git.
Installing git
First, you need to have git installed on your computer.
Git (http://git-scm.com/) is now available for all major operating systems, you can get it
- Linux: Git is now packaged in all major linux distributions, you should find it in your package manager.
- Mac OS X: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/
- Windows: There are two options: MsysGit or running the compiled git under Cygwin. You can find more information in this github guide
Getting a github account (Optional)
Once you have git installed on your machine, you can get the code and start developing, However, since the code is hosted at github, you can use more features if you sign up for github account. This is completely optional but if you do sign up all other developers will be able to see (and review) the changes you have made.
If you dan't already have a github account:
- create one here http://github.com/plans (the free plan is absolutely enough)
- Upload an ssh public key by clicking on 'account' after having logged in
Obtaining the source code
If you don't want to make any changes, you can simply download a zipped up archive of the latest code from github. Very easy - and you don't even need to install git on your computer to do this.
If you want to make changes, then there are two ways of getting the code tree onto your machine. They're not that different, in fact both will result in a directory on your machine containing a full copy of the repository on your machine. However, if you have a github account, you can make your repository a public branch of the project. If you do so, other people will be able to easily review your code, make their own branches from it or merge it back to the trunk.
In fact you can change this later, using the .git/config file, but to make it easier I'll describe the two possibilities separately.
Forking without a github account
Getting a copy of the repository without github account is very simple:
git clone git://github.com/biopython/biopython.git
This command creates a local copy of the Biopython source on your machine (your own personal branch of the code, with the full history to date). You can now make local changes and commit them to this local copy.
However, if you want other people to see your changes you need to take care of publishing your branch yourself. Using github takes care of this for you.
Forking Biopython using a github account
If you are logged in to github, you can go to the Biopython repository page
and click on a button named 'Fork'. This will create a fork (basically a copy) of the official Biopython repository, still on publically viewable on github, but listed under your personal account.
Now, assuming that you have git installed on your computer, execute the following commands locally on your machine:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:<your username>/biopython.git
Where <your username>, not surprisingly, stands for your github username. You have just created a local copy of the biopython repository on your machine.
You may want to also link your branch with the official distribution:
git remote add official_dist git://github.com/biopython/biopython.git
You can find more info here: http://github.com/guides/keeping-a-git-fork-in-sync-with-the-forked-repo
To add additional contributors to your branch on GitHub, selecte 'edit' and then add them to the 'Repository Collaborators' section. You will need to know their username on GitHub.
Making changes
Now you can make changes to your branch. Since your local branch is a full repository, you can commit your changes as often as you like. In fact, you should commit as often as possible, because smaller commits are much better to manage and document. Let us assume you've made changes to the file Bio/x.py. You need to add this file to your change-set:
git add Bio/x.py
and now you commit:
git commit -m "added feature Y in Bio.x"
Your commits in git are local, i.e. they affect only your working branch on your computer, and not the whole Biopython tree or even your fork on github. You don't need an internet connection to commit, so you can do it very often.
Once you think your changes are fine and should be reviewed by others, you can push your changes back to the github server:
git push origin
If you think you changes are worth including in the main Biopython distribution, then file an (enhancement) bug on Bugzilla, and include a link to your updated branch (i.e. your branch on github, or another public git server). You could also attach a patch on Bugzilla. If the changes are accepted, one of the Biopython developers will have to check this code into our CVS repository, and within the hour this should update the main Biopython branch on github.
On GitHub itself, you can inform keepers of the main branch of your changes by sending a 'pull request' from the main page of your branch. Once the file has been committed to the main branch, it can be deleted by selected 'edit' and then 'delete repository' from the bottom of the edit page.
Other information
There is a lot of different nice guides to using git on the web:

Love it
This top is beautiful. I tried it on in store before it was on sale and knew I needed a size down. It is a little shorter than most of their tops but hit in the right place for me. It looks great with drk jeans or dress pants. You do need to wear a cami underneath as the material is pretty thin. I've already worn it a couple times. I'm 5'3, 130 lbs and got an XS.

Great top
Love this top....the cream is a beautiful color and it can be worn professionally as well as with a sexy flair if you pair with skinny jeans and heels
August 12, 2013
I respectfully disagree with the other reviewers
Yes--this top is baggy, but that's clearly how it was made. I don't the color is neon; it's a classic coral, and I received several compliments when I wore this out. I think it's quite lovely, especially paired with the khaki Drew Sateen Ankle Pants!

What a flop!
This blouse was not a good choice. I was really disappointed when I tried it on. It was not flattering at all. There's no shape to it. I ended up returning it.
June 5, 2013
Oh no!!
This top looks better in the photo. The color was was almost neon & the fit was very baggy. Everything about this top is wrong. I couldn't bare to look at it, so I returned it.
May 30, 2013
Bleh. I tried on this top in white and the coral color and was very disappointed. It looked like I was wearing scrubs. Very unflattering fit. I would not recommend this top.
May 22, 2013
Not a Great Fit
I bought this in white. It runs EXTREMELY large and fits strange. I'm not wild about this top - but I'll make it work.
