Stephen Strasburg tossed six scoreless innings to earn his 10th win.
Game in a nutshell: Stephen Strasburg was stuck in a three-game losing streak. Ian Desmond was out of the lineup with a lingering oblique strain. The Nationals were silenced at the plate. Reason to worry? Um, no. Strasburg tossed six scoreless innings to improve to 10-4 for the season. He also chimed in with another RBI single, setting in motion a two-run rally off Ricky Nolasco in the top of the fifth. The Nats added two more runs off Nolasco in the sixth, with Michael Morse driving in one run and Danny Espinosa driving in the other. Tyler Clippard got himself into a big jam in the ninth, loading the bases with nobody out. But he escaped it and thus secured the Nats' fifth shutout victory of the season.
Hitting highlight: With Desmond on the bench, the Nats needed an offensive spark from somebody. So they turned to their best hitter … Strasburg. Seriously, nobody has consistently put up better numbers atRead more »

They looked okay afterward … good to see both players in their natural positions (2b and right field) improved defense as a result. Much needed with the bats seemingly falling into another slump of inconsistency Desmond in the lineup or not.Good to see Morse break the bad pattern he started. But as sec3 mentioned it would be nice to see some XBH action … preferably with men on! I see no problem with resting Desmond as long as necessary as opposed to as long as possible. They seem to have it covered unless another injury occurs.
- NatsLady - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Ghost, LOL! He overdid it in the Rox game, and came so close to overdoing it in this one. He shouldn't have walked that second guy.
- NatsFanChris - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:22 PM
Very exciting game today. Lots of excellent defensive plays and clutch at-bats. Love these Nats!Just really hope Desi's injury isn't too serious. Feeling worse after several off days during the AS break is scary.
- NatsNut - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:27 PM
speaking of Chad Cordero, isn't he throwing out the first pitch on Friday?
- NatsLady - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:27 PM
peric, agree. Much easier on both Harper and Lombo to be in their "natural" positions. The Shark is, well, the Shark. I missed the double-play they didn't get, made it harder on Stras than it needed to be. If only Ankiel could hit.

swami, Lombo and Harper collided on last popup. Looked like no one was hurt. Clip not getting squeezed, just playing with fire a little too much. Need Drew back, Clip will lose the closer's job if he keeps doing that–Drew doesn't mess around. Mattheus excellent. If there is anything wrong with Burnett it didn't show.

The bottom of the 9th was a little too exciting for me, but was happy that the good guys held on for the win. Hope that nobody got hurt on the final catch.Speaking of exciting, just read the comments in the game thread. I usually read them only for wins. Wow, some people were just not playing well with others in there. That's not the way you get taken out for ice cream after, now is it? ;-)Speaking of not playing well with others, is it me, or is Ozzie even more, um, wacky than usual? Speaking of which, it's Zambrano going for the Fish tomorrow, right? Yeah, that should be interesting. Whoo-eee!

- NCNatsie - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:54 PM
Re Bernadina and the squeeze. Obviously it's a huge mental mistake to miss the sign, but that pitch was way low and away, and I thought at the time he never would have gotten the bat on it if he had tried to bunt.
- MicheleS - Jul 15, 2012 at 8:55 PM

This may have been the most important win of the season because the Marlins were poised in 2nd and especially the 3rd, to bust the game wide open. A year ago, that is exactly what would have hsppened. But we have one of the best pitchers in the game and he rose to the occasion. it would be nice to win tomorrow night, but it's not as desperate as it would have been had we lost today. This was a game where we could have buckled, but we held fast. Confidence in the clubhouse must be sky high.

Kristina should have given us the story, but the fact she didn't has to be policy, not her fault. The question is, whose policy? MASN or the Nats? Maybe the policy is where she is stationed during the game? Anyone know?

NCNatsie, it's probably the Nats, they never show controversial plays on the Big Board at the game.
- JD - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:16 PM
The Mets are fading and we have a chance to really make this a 2 horse race for the division when we face the Mets this week. Storen was shelled today in Harrisburg (4 runs in 2/3 of an inning) so he's not quite ready yet. Lannan is pitching tomorrow for Syracuse so he lines up for the double header next Saturday; Duke was hit pretty hard today.
- Secret wasian man - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Ozzie is an embarassment to himself and his team. Hes a terrible manager and an even worse human being. It was nice to stick it to him. especially when he walked Salado to get to Stras. Great job guys.
- JD - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:19 PM
Id Desmond must go on the DL I'm guessing we have to bring up an infielder (Rivero?) who else can play short?
- Maurymania - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:24 PM
Gentlemen, (and ladies!), I think everyone is missing it. If I interpret Ozzie's motions correctly, I think that Bryce, awaiting the first bat of the inning, so, in Ozzie's estimation, a bit too close to the plate during warmup and was "timing" his bat moving with the warm up pitches. You can see Ozzie saying "that's bullsh*** kid/" Clearly directed at Bryce. Give the rook credit again, he stayed out of it.
- Secret wasian man - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:31 PM
nice spot. I think your right. I think what Ozzie was really mad at was that his guys had stranded about 100 runners. HAHAHA love it
- JD - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:35 PM
NatsJack, I disagree with your assessment that SS is 75% the pitcher he was before the injury. I think he's much more polished, does a great job with men on base and his curve ball today was awesome. I think he has dialed down his fast ball a couple of miles an hour because you can't live at 99 – 100 mph for 100 pitches. SS is still a work in progress because too often he's not throwing his out pitch with 2 strikes on the hitter prolonging the at bat and causing him to leave after 6 innings. Once he masters that he will be absolutely devastating.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Jul 15, 2012 at 9:56 PM
Clutch pitching and clutch defense can win a lot of games. I hope you noticed, JD, who caught the shutout and who called the game, today.First game all year that the Nats did not get an extra base hit, but ALR and Danny would have hit 2 out at Nats' Park, or almost anywhere else except Miami. They hit the ball better than the box score looks, because the ball just dies out there. Only 1 HR in 3 games (by Zim in the 1st game) and only 3 runs, total, for Ozzie's mashers. They are lucky to have won even one of those three. He should be happy he got that one.Let's really set him off tomorrow, with Bryce getting the winning hit, a pine tar aided shot over the doohickey in left-center would be just about perfect.
- natsfan1a - Jul 15, 2012 at 10:18 PM

Introduction | Much more light | About resolution | Vignetting at wide apertures | Lateral chromatic aberration | Distortion | So… who is this lens good for? |
Better construction enables the new zoom to perform a little bit better than the previous model when dealing with chromatic aberration. But there are still some perturbations, especially between 24 and 35mm at apertures ranging from f/4 to f/11. For the remaining zoom range, the aberrations are still noticeable between 35mm f/8 and 75mm f/5.6. The best performance of the 24-120mm f/4 is obtained between 50 to 120mm when stopping down above f/8.
Used on APS-C sensors, the scenario changes completely once again: the chromatic aberrations are noticeable along the whole zoom range between f/4 and f/5.6. Above f/8, the lens behaves quite well.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Kanopolis State Park
200 Horsethief Rd.
Marquette, KS 67464
Phone: 785-546-2565
Kanopolis State Park started it all. The first Kansas state park has drawn visitors to eastern Ellsworth County since 1955. Situated in the rolling hills, bluffs and woods of the scenic Smoky Hills region of Kansas, Kanopolis is located 33 miles southwest of Salina.
Located on the Prairie Trail Scenic Byway northwest of Marquette along K-141, about 5 miles north of the K-4/K-141 junction (or) about 7 miles south of the K-140/K-141 junction east of Ellsworth
The first state park in Kansas, Kanopolis State Park is situated in the rolling hills, bluffs and woods of the scenic Smoky Hills region of the state. From the towering Dakota sandstone bluffs to the caves and crevices of Horsethief Canyon, the park and surrounding area offer rugged beauty and stunning vistas. The park is split into two areas north and south of the dam and there are two federal parks, as well.
Kanopolis offers more than 30 miles of trails open to hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders, 15 of which are on the Smoky Hill Wildlife Area. The 3,500-acre lake and 12,500-acre wildlife area provide anglers and hunters abundant fish and game. Nestled near the Smoky Hill River toward the northwest portion of the wildlife area is Faris Caves, which were carved by early pioneers and served as milk house, school house, and living quarters.
Wildlife viewing and photography opportunities are plentiful. In the winter, bald eagles and ospreys fish the river. Songbirds and wildflowers brighten the landscape throughout the area.
Kanopolis State Park also manages nearby Mushroom Rock State Park, a picnic area with unusual geologic formations that amaze first-time and return visitors alike.

The diagram below shows the path of the Sun across the sky in Melbourne for four important dates:
The outer circle on the diagram represents the horizon and the inner circles are lines of constant elevation, drawn at 15° intervals. The radial lines are lines of constant azimuth drawn at 15° intervals also.
The position of the Sun at each hour of the day is marked and the time indicated. All times are Australian Eastern Standard Time. Add one hour for daylight savings.
Hi Louise,
Yes, this was an illusion. Have a look at our response to John Jones' enquiry (above; 14th April 2010), which addresses this. Also, you might find the explanation in the following link helpful: http://www.astronomynotes.com/nakedeye/s5.htm.
The Sun does not travel the same path throughout the year, but follows the path shown in the following diagram: Path of the Sun
As far as what is the difference between 'real time' and 'clock time', the following extract taken from this UK web-Sundials should explain the differences quite clearly.
Sundials tell "sun time". Clocks and watches tell "clock time". Neither kind of time is intrinsically "better" than the other - they are both useful and interesting for their separate purposes.
"Sun time" is anchored around the idea that when the sun reaches its highest point (when it crosses the meridian), it is noon and, next day, when the sun again crosses the meridian, it will be noon again. The time which has elapsed between successive noons is sometimes more and sometimes less than 24 hours of clock time. In the middle months of the year, the length of the day is quite close to 24 hours, but around 1 September the days are only some 23 hours, 59 minutes and 41 seconds long while around Christmas, the days are 24 hours and 31 seconds long.
"Clock time" is anchored around the idea that each day is exactly 24 hours long. This is not actually true, but it is obviously much more convenient to have a "mean sun" which takes exactly 24 hours for each day, since it means that mechanical clocks and watches, and, more recently, electronic ones can be made to measure these exactly equal time intervals.
For more detailed information, the above web site should be looked up.
Hi Psy,
The Earth does orbit the Sun, taking 1 year to do so. The Sun also rotates about the centre of the galaxy, where there is a super massive black hole. It takes the Solar System about 240 million years to complete one orbit of the Galaxy , so the Sun is thought to have completed 18–20 orbits during its lifetime. So, yes, the Earth orbits both the Sun and a black hole.
Hi Lloyd - there's no need to be baffled; the short answer is that there are no 'new stars behind the sun' because unlike earth, the stars do don't orbit the sun; this is explained in our responses to STEVE above.
Hi Cam,
The only time that the Sun rises due east and sets due west is at the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, 21st March and 21st September. After the Spring equinox the Sun gradually rises and sets further south until the solstice on 21st December, then starts moving northwards. So for your house to have the Sun shining on the south facing side, it needs to be between these two equinoxes. After the Autumn equinox the Sun rises and sets northwards of east and west, so no Sun on your south wall.
For more information, please see the following link: http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/planets/the-path-of-the-sun/
Hello Cool - we ran this past our experts in the Planetarium, and their response is as follows:
In Australia, seasons begin on the first day of a particular calendar month – March for autumn, June for winter, September for spring and December for summer. This is also the convention followed internationally by meteorologists. One idea for Australia following this rule, is that during the early years of Australia's white settlement soldiers would change from their summer to winter uniforms on the first of the month.
Indigenous Australians have a more tactile view of the seasons. They link the seasons to the local conditions and environment, and also to the activities of the birds, plants and animals around them. With such a diverse climate across Australia, it's no surprise that the seasons vary greatly across Indigenous groups. Some regions have five seasons and others only three as the Bureau of Meteorology explains.
In other countries, such as Britain and the USA, the seasons are said to begin on the equinoxes and solstices – Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. These are the times when Earth reaches a particular point along its orbit around the Sun.
I hope this helps
Hi again Steve - The sun is not at any point directly 'between' earth and the Southern Cross. An important point to consider here is that unlike Earth, the Sothern Cross does not revolve around our Sun.
If you look at the diagram at the top of this page, you can see the path of the sun as it appears to us here in Melbourne throughout the year. If we were to factor into this diagram the relatively static position of the Southern Cross, it would be close to the southern horizon. Notice that the southern most path of the sun (in the Summer Solstice) does not intersect with the position of the Southern Cross.
This means the Sun does not obstruct our view of the Southern Cross - so, we are never on 'the other side of the sun' to the Southern Cross. As we've explained previously, the Sothern Cross may not be visible during the day due to brightness of the Sun, but it is still there.
Hi Jim, if you were at one of the poles during a summer equinox the Sun continues to make a circle in the sky, but now it would dip below the horizon for a while. It may appear to be an ellipse, but in actual fact it is still a circle. This YouTube clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcafg-meJA shows what it would look like a little further away from the pole. This web link may also be helpful.
Hi John,There are two websites that may help you determine the angle of the sun at your house on a particular date. The Rise and Set Times on the Planetarium website provides a calendar for the visibility of the sun in Melbourne. There is also an online resource about how to make your own Sun Angle Calculator.
Hi Casper, the Sun's path is at its lowest in the sky on the Winter Solstice – 21st June, see here for more information.
Try to think of it this way - If you were "on" the Southern Cross and looked towards Earth with a theoretical, highly powerful telescope, then Melbourne would always be visible, because the bottom of the Earth is pointing towards the Southern Cross. As the Earth spins on its axis, Melbourne would appear to rotate around the globe. As go further north from Melbourne, say to Sydney, then as the Earth spins, an observer on the Southern Cross would see Sydney disappear briefly on each rotation. The further you travel north the less time you will be able to see the Southern Cross, until you can never see the Southern Cross.
It is like that the Sun is at the centre of a globe of stars, and the Earth always points to one spot in the sky which is close to the Southern Cross. In reality this is not so, but the concept is true.
I hope this may clarify it a bit more for you.
Hi Steve - The Sun is at the centre of our Solar System, and all planets revolve about the Sun. The Sun at the centre of our Solar System, is in our galaxy called the Milky Way Galaxy amongst about 400 billion other stars. All the stars that can be seen with the naked eye are in our galaxy. It's important to remember at this point that our sun is not at the centre of the galaxy.
Because we revolve about the Sun, which is very close to us, all the other stars which are much further away, do not appear to move as we move around the Sun. So the constellations, such as The Southern Cross, look the same wherever we are. As the axis of the Earth is tilted, the south pole axis points towards the Southern Cross, so that constellation is always visible in the lower latitudes such as Victoria.
Hope that helps
Hello Steve
The link to this section of the NASA website gives a brief insight to the history of the evolution of the theory of the planets movement around the sun.
Hi Georgina - Several factors effect sunrise and set times, such as surrounding buildings or mountains, elevation above sea level, etc; however the main reason in this case is because Sydney is much further east than Melbourne, by approximately 700 km.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Matt,
For advice about seating, you would probably be best to check with MCG staff directly - MCG contact details can be found here.
Hi, Fernando. The "Time and Date" website gives information about the length of days for several locations in regional Victoria, including Ballarat. Hope this helps!
Hi Mel, the Tropic of Capricorn is technically an infinitesimally thin line, although the uncertainty in the measurement of the Earth's obliquity corresponds to an error in positioning of the Tropic of about 3cm. We can't locate the Tropic any better than this, so this is a kind of width. At the moment the Tropic is at 23°26'16.7" S. But the obliquity of the Earth varies and is decreasing around a half a second of arc per year, so the Tropic is moving slowly northwards at the same rate. This corresponds to something like 13m per year. So depending on what kind a timeframe you want to look at this also puts limits on how precisely you can locate the tropic. Within a decade, for example, we can't locate the Tropic more precisely than a 133m band.
Hi there John. As in the Northern Hemisphere the Sun rises in the East and sets in West (due to Earth's rotation from west to east), but its path as seen from the Southern Hemisphere is across the northern sky. You might find this link and this one useful.
Hi there Suradi - thanks for your question. According to the Museum's Planetarium Presenters, these days a Sun Path can be got using any good astronomy program or planetarium software such as Starry Night or Stellarium. Please note, if you would like to use our diagram for anything other than private use then MV copyright acknowledgement would be expected.

Ramshorn is probably great, as it appeared the winds were blowing right into that run.Breakdown: The storm came in early, presumably after 5 a.m., as Vail reported 0" new snow at that time. But it came in hard, dumping a few inches in the first few hours. Conditions for skiing on Vail mountain are fantastic. Conditions for driving on the roads getting there, are not so fantastic.Snowcast: Looks like temperatures are going to drop, maybe too low for more snow.

Plantar warts are growths on the soles of the feet. They are often mistaken for corns or calluses . They grow in clusters and are usually flat. A plantar wart can often be distinguished by numerous black dots visible on their surfaces.
Although plantar warts are generally harmless, their location beneath the feet can make them very tender. They also have a tendency to spread locally to other sites on the foot and elsewhere.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It can be contracted by walking barefoot on unsanitary surfaces. Touching and scratching can cause the virus to spread.
Plantar warts are more common in children and teens. Other factors that may increase your chance of plantar warts include:
Plantar warts may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Your feet will be examined. Some doctors may wish to refer difficult cases to specialists. Podiatrists focus on foot disorders. Dermatologists focus on skin disorders.
There are many over-the-counter products available to treat warts. These therapies often contain a mild acid. You can usually apply them when a wart first appears.
Another popular and less expensive treatment is using duct tape to cover a wart for a week at a time. This is also done with weekly "sanding" of the wart with a pumice stone.
You should see a doctor:
After confirming the diagnosis of plantar warts, the doctor may use one or more of the following:
The best ways to prevent plantar warts is to keep your feet from coming into contact with the virus that causes them. Ways to do this include:
In addition, periodically checking for warts on your child's feet may help prevent them from becoming larger and painful.

text: Got a chance to test it a bit yesterday evening. Wow, is all I can write. This 200M isn´t very fast, so any boost in performance is rather noticeable. I could play some games okayishly and even some WINE was acceptable, but now with the new kernel and the latest driver packages from xorg-edgers I can play just as well as I could under Windows. Temple of Elemental Evil with WINE was so-so before on a small 800x600 window, but now I can play it with respectable performance at my screen´s native 1280x768. Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines is also fast, though I now get weird graphical glitches. One thing that is bothering me considerably is artifacts all over my standard 2D desktop. Turning on composition makes them go away, but that isn´t really a viable work-around for me.

We are looking for new Community Rated HMOs.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), administrator of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, would like to expand nationwide the number of health maintenance organizations (HMO) available in the Program. With the introduction of the medical loss ratio (MLR) regulations, OPM is hoping that health insurance carriers will be interested in either applying or re-applying for participation under this new pricing method, which replaces the similarly-sized subscriber groups (SSSG) method.
Thank you for visiting the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program's carrier application and information web pages. We created the following pages for health insurance companies interested in participating as a health carrier in our Program. There are three screens:
We will consider applications only from comprehensive, prepaid medical plans. The FEHB Program contracts only with health benefits carriers that offer a complete line of medical services, such as doctor's office visits, hospitalization, emergency care, prescription drug coverage, and treatment of mental conditions and substance abuse. We do not have the authority to contract with companies that offer limited services, such as dental and/or vision plans, prescription drug plans, supplemental insurance and disability insurance. We can not consider applications from fee-for-service carriers.
We especially invite qualified applicants from the states that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has determined to be medically underserved -- Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
We also encourage applicants that HHS, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), determines to be Federally qualified or that are an approved Competitive Medical Plan (CMP)
We invite you to apply if you believe you qualify to participate in the FEHB Program. Please go to the next screen. If you have a question, please call our HMO contracts office at 202-606-0755 or 202-606-0737 and ask to speak with a contract specialist.
