Space Coast Stadium hosts the Georgetown Hoyas this afternoon.
VIERA, Fla. — Though the Nationals are sitting nearly all of their regulars, manager Davey Johnson is plenty interested to get a look at the players he'll be putting out there in his exhibition opener against Georgetown. That includes right fielder Bryce Harper, third baseman Anthony Rendon and left-hander Matt Purke (scheduled to throw 2-3 innings).
"This is going to be fun for me," Johnson said, "seeing guys I haven't seen perform before in a game."
This is also going to be fun for the Hoyas baseball club, which gets to enjoy an exhibition against a professional organization before heading to Winter Haven for an eight-game tournament against other Northeast college teams that have to come down here for good baseball weather.
"It's a huge thrill for them," said coach Pete Wilk, whose club is 6-2 so far this season. "I heard my shortstop talking about the infield, how unbelievable it is taking groundballs out here. We walked into the clubhouse and their names are up on their lockers. I mean, we don't get that experience. These guys are getting a big-league experience that they won't forget. They won't forget this."
This game isn't being broadcast anywhere, but you're in luck. I'll be providing updates throughout, so please make sure to check back often as the Nationals take the field for the first time in 2012…

This is going to be a fun season. From the new MASN blog:Nationals manager Davey Johnson was so juiced (or, in his words, "frisky") for today's exhibition against Georgetown that he ramped up his morning treadmill session. The result wasn't what the skipper was hoping for."I overloaded my hummingbird rear end and a little air came out of my right hammy," Johnson said with a smile. "So, I'm not quite ready yet, is what I'm trying to say. I'm not quite ready to start the season. I'm on the DL a little bit right now."Can't say I've heard the phrase "overloaded my hummingbird rear end" before, but I'll roll with it.

If there's a radar gun in the building, I'm very curious to see where Purke is. Not that he needs to be in mid-season form today, but TCU Freshman Purke was 92-94, AFL Purke was more like 87-89. Still worried about his shoulder and his mechanics.
- Grandstander - Mar 2, 2012 at 5:06 PM
First game thread of the season! Found this interesting tid bit of trivia on wikipedia for Brett Carroll:On June 8, 2009, Carroll hit his first career home run against Randy Johnson. According to the Elias Sport Bureau, the only other currently active major league player whose first major league home run was hit off a pitcher with at least 300 wins is reliever Jon Rauch, whose only career home run came against Roger Clemens in 2004. Carroll also became the first player ever to hit both a home run and a triple against Johnson in the same game.

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com 02/25/10 6:47 PM ETVIERA, Fla. — The Nationals continue to prepare for the future, purchasing the contract of right-hander Rafael Martin from Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican League, according to a baseball source. ESPN.com was the first to indicate that a deal was done. The Nationals have not confirmed they have acquired Martin. Martin, 25, has arrived in Florida, and he took his physical on Thursday and will report to Minor League camp Friday. Washington beat out the Mariners and Yankees for his servicesMartin is coming off a season in which he pitched in 54 games for Saltillo, going 6-3 with a 4.12 ERA. Even more impressive is that he struck out 65 batters in 63 1/3 innings and held opponents to a .244 batting average. Nice to know we'll have him in our minor league system….Go Nats,NatFan05

- realdealnats - Mar 2, 2012 at 6:32 PM
Seriously re-thinking my stance on Harper starting Opening Day, especially considering LaRoche's shoulder and the negative chain reaction it causes in terms of bats. Let him learn up here. It's starting to become clear to me, that if we are lucky enough to "steal" a WS this year–or even go deep enough to taste it–and then win a couple to a few (or really be there for the final bell in late October for a few)–then I think Harper is going to want to stay, and not go to the Yankees. I think he'll bond with this group. This group already seems to be bonding with each other. This group seems to be special–in attitude, work ethic, and skill. And when I say this I'm also including Rendon and Purke et al, and whoever our starting CF is next year–hopefully Upton. The weakspots are pretty clear and eminently fixable in the near future. Payroll is manageable. There's esprit de corps. Great scouts.Obviously this is dreaming b/c Rendon and Purke haven't done anything yet–and to even talk about winning 1 much less multiple WSs is crazy–but this is what we're all starting to feel, isn't it? Davey's got us all jazzed up feeling that this thing is within our grasp! Go Nats.

Awesome news. Yet another (potential) steal in Rizzo's awesome draft day last summer.Offsets the loss of Solis. Have to hope Rosenbaum, McGreary, Robbie Ray, and Purke continue to progress. Hopefully, Robbie Ray will develop more velocity as he matures.
- A DC Wonk - Mar 2, 2012 at 6:54 PM
So, the Nats have scored zero earned runs so far?
- Anonymous - Mar 2, 2012 at 6:54 PM
What's the scoop on Eury Perez? Will he start in A, AA?Probably AA Harrisburg since Michael Taylor (right now the top CF prospect) will be in A+ Potomac. If Perez returns to Potomac it will likely be as a corner outfielder. Goodwin likely in Hagerstown. Destin Hood will be in Harrisburg as well. That basically means they are going to be considered major league depth.
- David - Mar 2, 2012 at 6:56 PM
Gardner. Good question. No one has brought this up…. college still uses metal bats. But most programs participate in wood bat tournaments every year. They shouldn't be completely unfamiliar with the lumber.
- Anonymous - Mar 2, 2012 at 7:01 PM

Anon @ 1:52pm — So what's Alex Meyer, chopped liver? The guy pitched as long (3 years) at UK as Stras did at San Diego State. He and Purke were probably the biggest reasons Rizzo was as willing to give up as much as he did for Gio. Purke they obviously did that dye MRI so the shoulder issues didn't make him a total crapshoot, but Meyer was expected to be as close to MLB ready as any other prospect in the system.More testimony to the pitching fortress Rizzo has built here (along with a solid 1 1/2 MLB-capable bullpens).

He and Purke were probably the biggest reasons Rizzo was as willing to give up as much as he did for GioMeyer is NOT left-handed steady dude. They are short in that department which is one reason why they traded for Gio. Lannan is at best a #5. Detwiler still unproven and then its the list I gave.Plus, Meyer is still growing. Its going to take some time for him to adjust to his height. He'll be in the lower minors to start as a result. Still no telling whether he ends up a starter or reliever. He should be able to throw 100+ eventually.

- Steady Eddie - Mar 2, 2012 at 7:32 PM
Anon @2:16 — No one said anything about lefties. The point about Meyer is he's not a baby at 22 years old, and if he's close to MLB ready ge'll come up fast regardless of where he starts out.As to sending him to the pen — remember all the smart pundits who said Peacock would only ever be a reliever? Rizzo was saying he might have used the #6 pick non Meyer us Rendon hadn't been available (as it wasn't clear they could sign Bubba Starling), and you fon't use that high a pick on a reliever unless you've just gotten strikeout Jesus.

Steady Eddie–that popup with 2 in scoring position was not Harper but Destin Hood. The box score indicates that Hood came in for Harper after three plate appearances, and that Hood left 2 in scoring position with 2 out while Harper did not leave any. You must have been following Gsmeday as I was–they were VERY bad today at keeping track of subsitutions, especially for the Nats

New Archery Products has built a solid reputation around designing and building top of the line archery products. NAP produces the oldest, most trusted fixed blade head of all time, the Thunderhead; and arguably the most reliable mechanical broadhead on the market, the Spitfire. Technology continues to progress in every aspect of life and the broadhead industry is no different. Welcome, Spitfire Gobbler Getter.
New Archery Products Spitfire Gobbler Getter
Bowhunters have long since discovered the advantages of mechanical broadheads for hunting turkeys and in 2011 NAP created an expandable broadhead designed specifically for turkey hunters. The Spitfire Gobbler Getter is a variation of the already proven Spitfire broadhead. The expandable turkey broadhead is available in 100 or 125 grains, has a 1 1/2" cutting diameter and over 3" of cutting surface. Similar to the original Spitfire, the Gobbler Getter integrates Micro Grooved Slimline Ferrule technology to allow air to pass over the ferrule with less resistance, thus, providing the truest arrow flight possible. The Diamize sharpened blades are sharpened through a rigorous process ensuring exceptionally sharp blades to produce the cleanest cuts for maximum hemorrhaging and quicker kills. The blades on both the Spitfire and the Spitfire Gobbler Getter are locked into place with a hidden blade tension clip that NAP guarantees will not allow the blades to open in flight. Finally, the radical change that transforms the Spitfire to the Spitfire Gobbler Getter is the shock inducing Gobbler point, a rounded tip in place of the hardened Trophy Tip. The sole purpose of the Gobbler tip is to minimize pass throughs, delivering the most shock possible into the gobbler. Why would anyone not want a complete pass through? Let us take a harder look.Turkeys are tough birds, period. There is no arguing that fact. There are a couple of significant differences between turkeys and other big game animals that bowhunters pursue. The first being, turkeys have the ability to fly away after they are shot. Obviously, this creates its own, set of problems. Second, blood trailing a turkey can be extremely difficult because they don't have much blood to lose and feathers can soak up the majority of your blood trail before it reaches the ground. For these reasons, the idea behind the Gobbler Getter is to put the bird on the ground where he stands or shortly thereafter, before he has the opportunity to fly. This is achieved with the combination of a large cutting surface and by the Gobbler point helping the arrow expend its energy in the bird. This delivered "shock" works the same way bullets deliver shock or "knock down power" to an animal.
The Gobbler point is designed to deliver shock in the same manner a bullet delivers "knock down power."
Let us be honest. Every broadhead on the market today will kill a turkey if the arrow is placed correctly. This holds true with deer as well. Every broadhead on the market will kill a heart shot deer. Unfortunately, I don't make a perfect shot on every animal. My theory on broadheads, is that I don't buy a broadhead for the perfect shot. I buy a broadhead that provides me the best chance of recovering my animal on a poorly executed shot. For this reason, my quiver was loaded with NAP Gobbler Getters in the Spring of 2011, and will be again in 2012.
In preparation for bowhunting turkeys, I practiced shooting my Z7Xtreme at distances out to 70 yards strictly to test the flight of the Gobbler Getter. The Gobbler Getter tipped arrows were flying like darts, at any distance, off the string of my Mathews. The Merriams and Rio Grande turkeys of the Western United States were kind to me, providing me the opportunity to take a total of five toms with the Gobbler Getter broadhead in the Spring of 2011. The NAP broadheads performed exactly as they were designed putting birds down on the spot on multiple occasions. My bow is set up with a 29 inch draw length at 70 pounds and I'm shooting a 413 grain arrow at 286 feet per second. That's a significant amount of kinetic energy to be stopped in something as small as a turkey. While my arrows did pass through, they were all lying on the ground where the bird stood or were sticking with the fletchings straight into the air, thus, the energy was delivered to the bird instead of the dirt on the backside. On one particular bird in Wyoming, I made a shot that was higher than expected but the large cutting surface and cutting diameter allowed the shot to be fatal and the bird was recovered within 75 yards.
These big Mearriams gobblers were two of the first toms to fall to my Spitfire Gobbler Getter broadheads.
The main criteria I have for selecting a broadhead are: true flight, sharpness, durability and performing in the manner they were designed (i.e. turkey shots, turkey head shots, or ultra penetration on large game). If we're talking about a mechanical broadhead, I want the blades to open when and only when they strike the target, not in the quiver or on their way to the target. There are numerous quality expandable broadheads on the market but if you are looking for a five star turkey specific broadhead, I recommend giving the Spitfire Gobbler Getter a chance at taking down your next tom.

Braves rack up hits, but can't pick up Hanson
Uggla extends streak, Boscan gets first knock, but clutch hit elusive
ATLANTA -- Sunday afternoon's game with the Marlins looked to be the perfect time for Tommy Hanson to regain the form that allowed him to post 10 wins and a 2.44 ERA before the All-Star break.
After all, the Braves pitcher had seen plenty of success so far in his young career against the Marlins. The right-hander took a 5-1 record in eight career starts against Florida into Sunday's game.
But he once again struggled through the early innings, as the Marlins built a two-run lead before hanging on to salvage the series finale with a 3-1 win at Turner Field.
"I think it's taken me a little bit to get going," Hanson said. "But I don't think that was the case today. They just took advantage of the mistakes I made."
The Braves came out of the All-Star break on July 15 and registered their 10,000th win in franchise history with an 11-1 victory over the Nationals. They closed this homestand with their 10,000th loss.
"Obviously, we're frustrated with the loss," infielder Brooks Conrad said. "Two out of three is good, but we definitely think we should have won that game."
Hanson has given up 17 runs in four starts since the All-Star break, and all but five of those have come before the fourth inning.
He gave up three runs over the first three innings on July 16 against the Nationals, four in the first two innings July 21 against the Rockies, three in the first two innings July 26 against Pittsburgh and two in the first three innings in Sunday's loss.
He's now 1-2 with a 6.56 ERA in his four starts in the second half.
"I've just got to keep working hard, keep making pitches and keep trying to help my team win," Hanson said. "I expect to do better than that. Going out and giving up three runs in six innings isn't what got me here, and it's not the way I want to pitch."
But it wasn't all on Hanson. The Braves got 12 hits off Ricky Nolasco, the second most the Marlins starter had allowed this season. But they managed to plate just one run, the seventh time this year Nolasco has held the opponent to one run or fewer.
"That's weird. That's just baseball," Conrad said. "You can get a few guys on and you see the good pitchers pitch out of those jams. You've got to tip your cap, but obviously we should have put up a few more runs."
Hanson's struggles started in the second inning after the Braves had struck first on Freddie Freeman's run-scoring double play. Hanley Ramirez began the rally with a leadoff walk before stealing second and coming home on Mike Stanton's single to center field.
The Marlins took the lead for good an inning later, as Omar Infante reached on an infield single before Greg Dobbs followed with a run-scoring double to right. Emilio Bonifacio added to the advantage in the fifth with his second homer of the season.
Hanson's afternoon was finished after the sixth, when he forced Nolasco into a groundout to short with runners on first and second.
The Braves were unable to rally from there off Nolasco. The right-hander allowed the leadoff man to reach in six of the seven innings he pitched, but escaped many potentially damaging situations. The Braves were 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
The biggest blows came in the fourth and six innings, as the Braves had runners on the corners with less than two outs in each frame, but failed to capitalize.
"We've really been struggling getting that runner in from third base with less than two outs," said second baseman Dan Uggla, who pushed his Major League-leading hitting streak to 22 games with a first-inning infield single.
"You've got to do that in order to win ballgames. It's one of those things that we're going to overcome. We just didn't have that timely hit today."
Jason Heyward started the fourth with an opposite-field double before going to third on Alex Gonzalez's one-out single. But J.C. Boscan struck out swinging before Hanson grounded out to Nolasco.
Two innings earlier, Boscan notched an opposite-field single to give him his first Major League hit. The 31-year-old catcher has collected 3,803 plate appearances at the Minor League level and just five in the Majors.
"After I got my first hit, I came to the plate again looking to at least tie the game and it didn't happen," Boscan said. "It's tough when you come here for the first time and it's your first Major League start."
Two innings later, Heyward and Conrad led off with consecutive singles, but Gonzalez popped up to second before Boscan and pinch-hitter Chipper Jones struck out to end the inning.
Jones had been 15-for-35 (.429) with four homers off Nolasco in his career.
"It was an adrenaline builder. I am just glad I was able to get him, for once," Nolasco said. "I was going to challenge him. The adrenaline took over. I was going to try to make good pitches. I knew he was going to go up there hacking. I just didn't want him to get extended. That's when he always does his damage on me."

These days, it can be said that racing bicycles has become the new "golf." We've all seen a "Race" bike where every square inch is made up of feather-weight carbon fiber (including the bottle cages), everything on the bike is aerodynamically designed to reduce the wind drag coefficient, and the drivetrain is… well, robotic. We've also seen how much these engineering marvels we call road bikes can run for. For the privateer racer and/or cycling enthusiast, dropping $5,000+ for something that doesn't pedal itself may be unrealistic and downright blasphemous, and unless you're a sponsored pro, you seek a steed to do it all. Do yourself a favor and take a gander at the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0.
Perhaps, you train and race regularly, but also enjoy the occasional conversational coffee shop ride or century for a good cause, the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 is a rock-solid, performance-driven machine that delivers a high-end build that can win a road race or two, or three, and then get you comfortably through a Gran Fondo. At the end of the day, the Cayo Evo is a full-blown race horse which offers an aggressive, chiseled frame that can sprint, corner, climb and descend with bikes that are double the price. On top of the race-ready geometry, the Cayo Evo frame is packed full of top-end design features such as: a liquid-shaped designed top tube, lateral reinforced comfort seat stays, a tapered head tube, integrated cable adjusters, internal Di2 cable routing, full carbon dropouts, and a PF30 bottom bracket.
Built up with Shimano's revolutionary Ultegra Di2 (Digital Integrated Intelligence) electronic group, the Cayo Evo 2.0's drivetrain performance would be right at home amongst the pro peloton. Shimano Ultegra Di2 is directly cascaded down from Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 group, bringing the world's only smart drivetrain to the broadest range of riders. If you've never had the enlightening experience of testing out Shimano Di2, you might be wondering what all the hype is about. First off, Di2 is all about its unsurpassed ease of use, meaning not only is the interface physically easier to engage, but maintenance is almost non-existent. Let us explain.
As contaminated cables and housing are the number one cause of degraded shifting performance, the Di2 system replaces cables and housing that constantly need readjusting with its E tube wiring system. The E tube wiring is durable and waterproof, and requires nearly zero maintenance once you've set it. To set the system, you simply plug into your PC (not MAC compatible) and let the provided E tube project software take over. The E tube project software is insanely user friendly and accurate, making customizing your shifting effortless. Once set, it remains in tune for the life of the system, providing consistent shifting performance in any weather condition, regardless of the rider's fatigue. Upon purchasing the Cayo Evo 2.0, the Jenson USA bike build team will update the firmware using the most current version of E tube Project software, enabling the Multishift function. Incase you aren't familiar with the Multishift function, it allows the rider the option of holding down the rear shift button and having it run through multiple gears.
Once all the techy stuff is out of the way, it 's then time to swing your leg over and get personal with Ultegra Di2. The Ultegra Di2 shifters are more ergonomic due to the fact that they don't have to be built around a mechanical system. The lower volume shape and 10mm of reach adjustability enables proper fit for a wider range of hand sizes. Since we are creatures of habit, the shift buttons are positioned exactly the same as the mechanical Ultegra group, so no "getting used to" needed there. The biggest difference is the greatly reduced effort needed to make a shift. Instead of pushing the lever, you now merely make the same effort as clicking a computer mouse.
Where Di2 really shines is in its derailluers. The front and rear deralleurs are programmed to communicate seamlessly to provide faster, smoother, and more accurate shifts at the touch of a button. You'll see and feel the biggest difference over a mechanical set-up is in the front shifting. The front derailleur always knows the location of the chain on the cassette, allowing it to automatically move or trim the cage to one of 6 positions, virtually eliminating irritating chain rub. Again, there is no adjusting cable tension to compensate for increased friction, leaving little to no room for human error. One handy feature to mention about the rear derailleur is, that should you run out of battery, (which you're given ample of indication before this should happen), the rear derailleur will automatically move the chain to the biggest sprocket, ensuring you the easiest gear for pedaling home. You should know that the rear derailleur has the capacity to handle a 28 tooth rear sprocket.
Lastly, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery that fully charges in 90 minutes (1 ½ hour), and lasts approximately 1,000 miles before needing to be recharged. The Ultegra and Dura-Ace Di2 groups use the same battery and charger, allowing it to be used on either or. Upon purchasing the Cayo Evo 2.0, the Jenson USA bike build team will fully charge your battery so that the bike is ready to ride out of the box. The full Ultegra Di2 group weighs a scant 80 grams more than its mechanical counterpart, but when you think about less tuning-headaches and more riding, the 80 grams difference becomes obsolete.
The Focus Cayo Evo 2.0's race-optimized, Di2-only frame works seamlessly with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 platform to bring forth a bike that is begging you to summit, sprint, corner, tuck, and celebrate across the line. However, when it's all said and done, the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 is for anyone who enjoys riding bikes more than wrenching them.

Comments about Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 Di2 CP Bike 2013:
Disclaimer: my previous bike was aluminum, and I've only been riding 1.5 years.
The handling on this bike is incredible, particularly on descents. It really pops on the climbs too (beat a bunch of PRs on the first couple of rides). On the flats it's quick and responsive, though there's a minor vibration when in the top gear combination. I'm hoping a trip to the bike shop will remedy this(no idea what it is).
The di2 is insane. I keep just running through the gears because I can't get over how fast it is. The hoods are smaller than I'm used to, which I like. I had them install the internal battery because the one on the chainstay looks clunky (total upgrade cost is $260-whatever I can sell the old battery, charger and junction box for), and they did an incredible job. Looks great!
Downsides are the paint job(it doesn't get much better upon close inspection), and the fact that the battery wasn't charged. Didn't bother me, but if you want to ride right out of the box, double check that it will be charged.
The only reason I'm not riding right now is there's a massive thunderstorm. Otherwise I'd be riding, not writing.

Absolutely love this bike. It's made me faster over all my favourite strava segments and is far more comfortable than my old alloy road bike. Steering is fantastically responsive and direct the bike just needs to be ridden.
Great service from Jenson too, I ordered it on a Saturday and it was delivered (to the UK) on Wednesday. At this price even after the import tax I've saved over £1000 on the list price or similar bikes here in the UK.

text: The 2009 Budget: Drawing the Battle Lines by Courtney Gross, May 02, 2008 Twitter The mayor's 2009 executive budget holds spending steady for the first time in five years, and at least 12 city agencies are seeing their spending slashed to varying degrees (this graph was created by Gotham Gazette from figures in the mayor's Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget). Say sayonara to superfluous city spending, adieu to rosy revenue projections and farewell to fat city coffers. For the first time since 2002, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's executive budget slams the brakes on agency expenditures -- ending the spending increases of the last five years. At the same time, Bloomberg has tentatively agreed to keep the 7 percent property tax reduction for one more year and continue the $400 tax rebate indefinitely. At City Hall on Thursday, the mayor -- dressed in a crisp blue suit and red tie -- pointed to the slips and slides of Wall Street and to gloomy economic forecasts. Those predictions, the mayor contends, cannot be ignored. "The numbers are scary," Bloomberg said during a presentation that kicks off his formal budget negotiations with the City Council. "Wall Street, which we depend on for tax revenues, is having some serious problems." Those problems affect city agencies, and now the mayor is proposing to slash 6.4 percent of city funded expenses in fiscal year 2009. What started as a so-called across the board cut -- which the mayor first announced last year -- is beginning to play favorites, with certain agencies and programs, like the city's Department of Youth and Community Development, slated for more cuts than a few other areas, like the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, which is getting an increase in city funding. The largest proposed cuts come in programs that are key City Council priorities. Though these decreases are not definite -- the City Council and the administration must reach an agreement and pass a balanced budget by July -- you can bet this latest budget battle will be far less congenial than those of recent years. While much of the growth in city spending is grinding to a halt in the 2009 executive budget, some departments have fared better than others. At least nine agencies could see an increase in spending from fiscal year 2008 (This graph was created by Gotham Gazette from figures in the mayor's Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget). An Overview On Thursday, the mayor proposed a $59.1 billion budget -- a small increase from his $58.5 billion proposal released in January. The budget includes $1.3 billion in cuts for fiscal year 2009, which starts in July. Higher than expected revenues and a 33 percent increase in foreign tourists since 2000 have provided some cushion for the city. But, according to Bloomberg, our fiscal horizons remain cloudy. For fiscal year 2010, the mayor said he expects a deficit of $1.3 billion, growing to $4.6 billion in fiscal year 2011. Because of that, the administration plans to roll back the 7 percent tax break, passed in 2007, to raise $1.22 billion -- but not until fiscal year 2010. (Some officials see that proposal as a stretch, since next year is an election year, and politicians dislike raising taxes the year their name is on the ballot). One official said it was not impossible, though unlikely, that the City Council would revisit the tax rate this year, depending on the economy. "Obviously if we needed revenue we could raise the property tax by a percent or two," said the council's Finance Committee Chairman David Weprin. "The sense of the council is everyone would like to see the property tax stay in place for the most part." In what many have termed a significant but needed cut, the mayor also proposed to extend the city's four-year capital plan to five years, effectively slashing 20 percent of the program's cost by extending proposals -- not eliminating them. The administration has not determined which projects will be pushed back and plans to release that information in September. For the most part, the city's fiscal watchdogs saw the mayor's proposal as sound -- a realistic approach to a teetering stock market and an economy that, some analysts say, is ensnared in a recession. But critics have already emerged and are gearing up for a contentious battle over some of Bloomberg's planned cuts, particularly in education. Wall Street Pains While tourism continues to boost revenues, Wall Street's woes have barreled down Broadway and into City Hall. Wall Street firms lost more than $11 billion in 2007, after posting record profits the previous year, according to the mayor's office. Because Wall Street drives the city's economy (wages in the securities industry alone account for 25 percent of city salaries), any volatility there can threaten city programs. Much of his hour-long budget presentation was devoted to the financial sector's impact on the New York City economy. In slide after slide, the mayor reiterated Wall Street's influence, despite efforts to diversify city revenue. "Everyone in this city should pray that Wall Street does well," said Bloomberg gesturing to a slide with his presentation's typically morose statistics. The city's fiscal watchdogs and observers have echoed that sentiment. While little can be done about the impacts of this economic slowdown, some experts suggested the administration should attempt to limit Wall Street's impact in the future. Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said the city should explore other sources of revenue, so it is not held hostage to the ebb and flow of the stock market. "A lot of this is designed on our tax structure," said Gelinas. "We could make this a lot easier if we designed a structure that attracts new businesses." Where the Cuts Run Deep A pillar of the Bloomberg's fiscal year 2009 budget is that no one is immune -- all city agencies must shoulder the burden of hard times, which some see as a fair approach to fiscal policy. "From a fairness point of view, you don't want to have any sacred cows," said Charles Brecher, executive vice president and director of research at the Citizens Budget Commission. "Everyone has to pitch in." Although Bloomberg directed all agencies to submit approximately 3 percent cuts last year and another 5 percent for fiscal year 2009, some departments are now bearing more of the burden than others. According to an analysis of budget documents, several agencies are seeing more than 10 percent cuts in city spending. The Department of Youth and Community Development has a 27.6 percent decrease in city spending for fiscal year 2009 compared to the projected city spending in fiscal year 2008. The Department for the Aging, Department of Cultural Affairs, Department of Homeless Services and Housing Preservation and Development are all slated for large cuts in city spending -- ranging from about 11 to 19 percent. "Any further cuts to the Department of Aging, is serous business in my backyard," said Councilmember Vincent Gentile. Other departments have been spared. The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications is seeing a 20 percent increase in city funding, catapulting their funds from $202 million to $243.7 million. The increase, according to the mayor's executive budget, will go to the city's new wireless network for emergency personnel and to support the city's 311 information hotline. Some of the rising costs, however, are out of the administration's control. For instance, the Department of Sanitation's expenditures have risen by 2 percent from 2008, which, according to budget documents, are attributed to the rising personnel and waste export costs. Overall, some of the agencies that see large decreases in city funding may have gotten a boost in funding from the state or from Washington. Others, like the Department of Youth and Community Development, saw their federal funding actually decrease as well. City Council tends to put a high priority on spending for community-based groups and programs that tend to get funding from the city's youth department and other departments slated for spending cuts, such as the Department of Cultural Affairs, which is facing an 11 percent cut in city spending. In the past when such programs have been cut by the administration, the council has restored their funding during budget negotiations -- a process called the budget dance. Some observers have crticized this maneuver, saying the executive branch's reductions are meaningless, since they are always restored, allowing council members to score easy political points . "We've come a long way to ending the budget dance," said Weprin, alluding to the back and forth between the administration and the council. "It always seems to be that when there are cuts, council priorities seem to go first." Battle Lines Drawn One priority close to the Bloomberg administration, education, has been thrust to the budget debate's center stage. A coalition of more than 40 organizations, including the city's powerful teachers union, already is preparing to launch a publicity campaign slamming the administration for backing down on its promise to fund education. While the city's education funding is actually up from fiscal year 2008, by about 3.5 percent, advocates contend higher costs for food, energy and the overall impact of inflation mean the Department of Education and classrooms will end up losing out. In this year's state budget, education funding saw a 7 percent increase compared to the last fiscal year. On the steps of City Hall on Wednesday, the day before Bloomberg released his executive budget, city officials and advocates railed against the mayor -- urging him to "keep the promise" of continuing to increase education funding. "Turn this car around," said Robert Jackson, chair of the council's Education Committee, who pledged to vote against the budget if the department's funding was not restored. "You're heading in the wrong direction. You're supposed to be the education mayor," he added, alluding to Bloomberg's takeover of the public schools. Following the release of the mayor's budget, Council Speaker Christine Quinn called the total budget proposal responsible, but hesitated to lend her full support because of the proposed funding to the education department. "While the news of continued relief for homeowners is a positive step, the cuts to a number of city agencies, most notably to the Department of Education, are a cause for concern," she said in a prepared statement. "The council remains committed to ensuring that the necessary cuts have the least possible impact on our classrooms." It is likely the Department of Education will not be the only battleground at City Hall this fiscal year. Libraries, which have often been the focus of the City Council and the administration's budget dance, are making an encore appearance on the dance floor. Though the budget shows a 70 percent decline in city funding for the city's library system, funds have been prepaid to keep services up for fiscal years 2008 and 2009. But cuts elsewhere, like to the nearly $50 million needed to keep branches open six days a week, are being cited by some members as a priority. "Sixty percent of the money added last year for six day service would be eliminated, which would in effect destroy six-day service," said Gentile, who chairs the council's subcommittee on libraries. Other areas identified as council priorities, like the Quinn's suggested tax rebate for renters or her proposal for a sales tax free week, were left out of the mayor's budget.

Alyson Fox Stencil Wool Rug
- Overview
- Cabin fever. Austin, Texas-based artist and designer Alyson Fox is known for her playfully personal illustrations, sculptures and textiles. Inspired by a "modern cabin in the mountains," she designed this geometric pattern, which we applied to a wool Stencil Rug. Each one is hand-tufted and washed for a naturally weathered look.
- Created in collaboration with Alyson Fox. Learn more.
- 100% wool in Multicolor.
- Hand-tufted.
- Rug Pad recommended (sold separately).
- To learn how to choose the right rug size, visit our Rug Guide.
- Shedding is common with new wool rugs and will diminish over time.
- Spot clean.
- Made in India.
- Select sizes online/catalog only.
- Details + Dimensions
- 3'w x 5'l.
- 5'w x 8'l.
- 6'w x 9'l.
- 8"sq.
- 8'w x 10'l.
- 9'w x 12'l.
- 2.5'w x 7'l. (Runner)
- Rug Thickness: 0.5"
Vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into roots of the fibers. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening of piles. Do not pull loose ends; clip them with scissors to remove. Turn rug around occasionally to equalize wear. Remove spills immediately; if liquid, blot with clean, undyed cloth by pressing firmly around spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard-to-remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended. Store your rug by rolling it front side out and wrapping in cloth for protection. Do not fold or put in an airtight plastic bag. Place in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use of a rug pad is recommended. This product may transfer color to nylon or silk material when wet. Shedding of loose fibers is normal with new wool rugs and a natural result of being handmade. Shedding will diminish with regular vacuuming and proper care, typically within three to six months.

Apple television, the next great unicorn chase
Now that we have the iPhone and iPad, the next great unicorn to chase seems to be an Apple television. Not the Apple TV set top box, mind you, but a full on elegant glass and aluminium object de panel art from Jony Ive and co. Something to hang on our wall and banish cables and crummy cable boxes from our living rooms once and for all.
When last we got analyst-fueled Apple television rumors, it turned out to be the 27-inch iMac. This time, however, we have a nebulous passage from the just-released Steve Jobs biography to properly set the chase in motion:
"He very much wanted to do for television sets what he had done for computers, music players, and phones: make them simple and elegant. I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,' he told me. 'It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud.' No longer would users have to fiddle with complex remotes for DVD players and cable channels. 'It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it."
Interface is only one of the things Apple will have to crack, however. Content is called king for a reason. A gorgeously designed, cunningly coded TV set only goes so far if you can't get your sports, your specialty channels and special events, and everything else cable and satellite currently has an locked up in their oligopoly.
Bloomberg, however, has added another face to the chase:
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is turning to the software engineer who built iTunes to help lead its development of a television set, according to three people with knowledge of the project. Jeff Robbin, who helped create the iPod in addition to the iTunes media store, is now guiding Apple's internal development of the new TV effort, said the people, who declined to be identified because his role isn't public.
Now don't get me wrong -- from 2007 to 2010 I went from a Treo 650 to an iPhone 4S yet my TV has pretty much the same crappy Scientific Atlanta PVR. If any dinosaur of an industry needs to get hit by the Apple meteorite and turned into the fossil fuel of the future, it's television. The idea of an Apple engineered and programmed television is enticing -- though my wallet threatens to punch me in the nose at the mere thought of lining up every year for that multi-thousand dollar product launch. It's just trickier to see what an Apple television would be to a current Sony or Samsung set, as opposed to what an iPhone was to Treo or iPad to Tablet PC. It's tricky to see what it would do that an Apple TV box couldn't, aside from being neater and tidier.
Of course Apple probably has all sorts of products in the lab. Their success, however, has come from not shipping something until they knew how to go to market with it. The Apple TV is called a hobby for a reason, and at $100 it or carefully calling it a hobby in the meantime. iPhone took them years. iPad years more. Conceivably Apple could pull the trigger on a television as soon as 2012, but until Tim Cook and co. show it off on stage, just like chasing unicorns, it's just flights of fun and fancy.

Apple television, the next great unicorn chase
Nice Work Apple now in Television Media I am looking forward to it Sony be ready a competition is on its way........http://www.1socialmediaagency.com/
"Apple Inc. (AAPL) is turning to the software engineer who built iTunes to help lead its development of a television set"
God no, please someone other than the one responsible for that piece of bloatware...
I can think of two safe bets:
1) There won't be any remote control. You'll have Siri.
2) There will be a Kinect-like hardware so you'll use gestures for mundane actions like: de/activate Siri, play/pause, volume up/down.
Apple has gotten pretty sophisticated when it comes to noise cancellation and speech recognition (look at how well Siri performs in noisy environments). If anyone can pull this off, Apple can.
Siri SUCKS in NOISY areas , what are you talkin about ?
plus a TV device has its own extra noise coming out, so I dont see this happening ;)

I am glad for commenting to let you know of the preefct discovery my wife's child found viewing your web site. She realized some issues, with the inclusion of what it's like to have a very effective coaching mood to have the rest quite simply fully grasp specified very confusing subject matter. You actually did more than people's expected results. Thank you for displaying those warm and friendly, trusted, edifying and as well as fun guidance on your topic to Lizeth.
Expect to see Apple television

Wish for good friends for better business & life.
But for what reason?
If it's to make a tv "simple"...how much more simpler can it get? You get a tv, plug in a cable, bam. Done.
If it's to loosen the strongholds the cable companies have...I doubt that also. The music industry had no choice, physical media was going to be gone. There's multiple ways to get that. Cable...not so much. You can say Netflix and Hulu...but that's something not everyone can access.
I just don't see the catalyst for an Apple TV to take off. I mean it will sell, don't get me wrong...but not at the rate where it will disrupt the status quo.
And don't get me wrong again, I'm no proponent of cable (I use netflix and internet to get my tv fix), but I just don't see this making a change.
Televisions are already simple enough: Channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, power. It's the connecting components that drive the power behind them.
Apple should continue improving on their current iteration of AppleTV, making that the hub of the living room. I don't want/need a computer in my television, I'll leave those in the pieces that connect to it.
Also, I wouldn't want to be required to "jailbreak" my television set to watch non Apple-approved content.

Our artisan classics are crafted by an Italian-American family that makes pasta the old-fashioned way, carefully rolling and cutting the dough into strands. This traditional technique produces light, tender pasta that cooks quickly and holds sauce better than machine-extruded varieties. The unique drying method (a family secret) gives the noodles the delicate flavor and texture of fresh pasta.
Following a proud tradition of pasta-making, this third-generation family company dates back to the late 1800s and a grain mill in Abruzzo, Italy. They use only the best all-natural ingredients, including semolina wheat grown especially for them at a nearby farm.
Linguini: Great for tossing with pesto or seafood sauces.
Fettuccine: A perfect partner for butter or cream sauces.
Spaghetti: A classic companion for tomato sauces – or serve it alla carbonara.

Nuclear power is neither safe nor clean. There is no such thing as a "safe" dose of radiation and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn't mean it's "clean."
Take action right now and tell the President that taxpayers should not take on the risk of building new nuclear plants.
If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable. And, more than 50 years after splitting the first atom, science has yet to devise a method for adequately handling long lived radioactive wastes.
For years nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste pools into the ground water at sites across the nation. In addition to being extremely dangerous, the continued greenwashing of nuclear power from industry-backed lobbyists diverts investments away from clean, renewable sources of energy. In contrast to nuclear power, renewable energy is both clean and safe. Technically accessible renewable energy sources are capable of producing six times more energy than current global demand.
If the nuclear industry and Wall Street financiers are unwilling to assume the economic risk of constructing new nuclear power plants, why should the American taxpayer?
The Department of Energy compared nuclear construction cost estimates to the actual final costs for 75 reactors. The original cost estimate was $45 billion. The actual cost was $145 billion! Forbes magazine recognized that this "failure of the U.S. nuclear power program ranks as the largest managerial disaster in business history, a disaster of monumental scale." Read more
The Cold War may be over, but this does not mean nuclear weapons have disappeared. Far from it: There are almost 36,000 nuclear weapons in the world, thousands on hair-trigger alert, with more than a third of them ready to launch at a moment's notice, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over 400 reactors in warships and nuclear submarines are still circling the globe. Read more
From the dawn of the nuclear age, it has been recognized that nuclear power and nuclear weapons are inextricably linked. The spread of nuclear technology and ultimately nuclear weapons undermines our national security and the security of the planet. Add to that the very real risks of nuclear meltdown. If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable. Read more
Greenpeace has been shouting about nuclear dangers for nearly forty years, beginning on September 15, 1971, when the Greenpeace founders protested U.S. nuclear testing. Since then we have campaigned against both nuclear weapons and nuclear power by bearing witness in test zones, supplying scientific research and by conducting direct non-violent actions to call attention to the problem.

Delivery Devices for Dummies
When you look out at the ice at your club each week, you have undoubtedly noticed that there are several players who are delivering their rock using some form of delivery device (depending on the type of device, these are also referred to as a stabilizer, a crutch or a stick). Some delivery devices are used by players who stand upright while delivering a rock, while others are used by players who slide out of the hack.
As I understand it, delivery devices first became part of the game when the game expanded to include wheelchair curlers. In [...]

Dr Goldline on Speed of Play
An important note to our readers: Dr. Goldline is not a real doctor, in any way, shape or form; the moniker is used purely for entertainment value.

Dear Dr Goldline: I am two months into my first season of curling. We have two hours in which to play our game and most weeks [...]
