Stephen Strasburg faces the Rockies tonight at Nationals Park.
After feasting on what was supposed to be a daunting pitching trio from San Francisco — Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain — the Nationals now get to spend the weekend taking their hacks against a Rockies staff that boasts an MLB-worst 5.36 ERA. Look out.
Speaking of looking out, Stephen Strasburg will have to be careful dealing with extreme weather conditions yet again. After suffering from hat exhaustion in Atlanta on Saturday, he'll get only a slight reprieve tonight, with the forecast calling for a reading of 97 degrees at first pitch.
Though there are still three games until the All-Star break, tonight marks the official halfway point of the season. A victory would leave the Nats at 49-32, on pace for 98 wins. A loss would leave them at 48-33, still on pace for 96 wins. I would think everyone out there would have taken that on Opening Day, right?
I'm off this weekend; heading out of town for a family event the next two days and then heading to Kansas City on Sunday in advance of the All-Star Game. Never fear, though, because Chase Hughes of CSNwashington.com will be here all weekend and will post updates…

Have a good weekend off Mark.Speaking of heat exhaustion, I'm going to chance it myself and go to the game tonight. Hope our boys put on a great show for me. I wouldn't mind a laugher tonight. I'm in the PNC Diamond section so if it gets too hot, I'll just duck into the a/c.Oh, and Stephen Strasburg will get shut down after his inning limit is hit.
- Positively Half St. - Jul 6, 2012 at 7:54 PM
It seems that the trade rumors are starting to include the Nats, and that will certainly feed our conversations pretty well. We have to steel ourselves to lose someone or a few people that we are pretty attached to. For instance, we will need to be realistic and not overly emotional if Tyler Moore leaves as just one part of a trade, or if we never see Alex Meyer in DC. Unlike in 2005, when the team gave up pretty much nothing to get nothing (Preston Wilson), the team is honestly looking to win this year, and might have to make a deal that only looks at the short term.+1/2St.

One final note on the Giants series. This from today's San Francisco Chronicle:EXCERPT:In three days, the best team in the National League gave the Giants a lesson in how to play postseason-quality baseball."We played Texas and Anaheim," second baseman Ryan Theriot said. "Those are two really good teams. In my mind, these guys are right up there."END OF EXCERPTMan that was fun to read. Post-season quality baseball! Right there with the Rangers and Angels. Look out!

Steady Eddie- he absolutely did.And he handled that subject well, of course. He loves playing baseball, his teammates, DC and the fans very,very, much. So sincere.

What a lineup!2B Danny Espinosa – Unstoppable right handedCF Bryce Harper – Will own the record book someday3B Ryan Zimmerman – FoF and red hot again RF Michael Morse – Now as good as last year (when he hit .303 w/ 31 HRs – only 2 NL players did better in both stats, Braun and Kemp, who finished 1-2 in the MVP voting.)1B Adam LaRoche – On pace for 100 RBISS Ian Desmond – On pace for 30 HRLF Tyler Moore – Hitting .328, Clutch hit last nightC Jesus Flores – Everything you want in a catcherRHP Stephen Strasburg – Best hitting pitcher in the NL, but hope he doesn't get on base at all tonight. Too hot to waste energy because he's also the best pitching pitcher in the NL.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 8:31 PM
I hope Stephen has a very calm night. I feel that both he and Gio tend to waste some energy out there emotionally. I love their passion, but if they can keep it in check and channel it, they might both be better off.

Good stuff NCNatsie!I'm a big fan of JFo's old style catching too–just wish he'd lay the outside breaking stuff at the plate.Hey MarkMeister, it's not too late to revise your predictions of 84 Nats wins this season. So far I think I've got you beat with 92. With any luck they'll win 96-97. Of all the action last night, I really enjoyed Espi's HR. He's go a bit of a hitting streak going.GooooooooooooNaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats!!!!

Meanwhile, its high time T-Mo broke out with one of his patented multi-home games … I think @CBrown83 might need some inspiration from above.
- NatsLady - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:01 PM
So they are reviewing possible NL MVP candidates, and they run through Votto and McCutch and David Wright (using WAR) and they get to the Nats, and lo, there is NO STAR. Desi, ALR, and Harper are all sitting at 1.7 WAR. This is a true team… it's great to see.BTW, love for DJ as MOY. Considering what this team has been through, and the expectations before the season started, and where we are now, you have to feel that is a possibility. He sure out-coached Bochy (among others).
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:02 PM
the team is honestly looking to win this year, and might have to make a deal that only looks at the short term.+1/2St.@1/2 Street,I firmly believe ownership has bought into the notion of not making any dramatic moves unless they are both for the short-term (this year) AND the long-term. That means you aren't going to see the Nats doing what that nut Chris Needham seems to espouse: trading prospects from a 35+ year old slugger and I don't really care if its Pujols. It would NOT be the right move for this team; the strategy (Werth being the unfortunate exception) IS working and we are seeing the results are we not?So, why change the strategy? The only reason might be because the new CBA has cut an enormous hole in one major thrust of that strategy: acquiring high-ceiling, young talent no matter what the cost in the draft and then developing them internally. But, again, I only see them trading for young to very young prospects that they were unable to acquire in the draft. And from the looks of things … so far … the 2012 draft could end up marked as a close to complete failure … we'll have to see what Stanford's Brett Moneyham is like. Hopefully, he is money like his name.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:03 PM
So we started the season with airtight pitching and scoring a paltry few runs per game. Now our pitching has "relaxed" a little and the guys are smacking the ball around the park. The team seems to change personalities every so often. Late inning heroics? Early runs scored? Starting pitching? Bullpen? No predictability here. So exciting. Must see TV.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:05 PM
and NatsLady – I completely agree with you on this team being a true team where everyone is a star and no one is a star. I love it that way.
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:12 PM
Desi, ALR, and Harper are all sitting at 1.7 WAR. This is a true team… it's great to see.I expect Desmond's, Zimmerman's, Morse's, Moore's and yes, Espinosa's WAR to rise quite a bit in the second half. Right now the overall bRAA sits at -18.4 and the wOBA at 0.315 which is still WELL BELOW average as predicted and expected … UNTIL the young prospect hitters start to "get it". That appears to be happening as we watch. They've managed to cut the bRAA deficit more than 1/2. Which indicates that the WAR's should rise.On the other side the rotation sits at +42.1 pRAA. That's enormous! But, I'd expect that to drop significantly with the loss of Strasburg. On the other hand the bullpen's pRAA sits at +18.0 which is superlative. It could potentially get better with the return of Storen. So, right now I expect to see the bRAA rise closer to MLB average as the season progresses but the rotation pRAA to drop from its lofty levels with strong improvement to the bullpen pRAA in the 2nd half. That barring a trade say for someone like Grienke. If they bring Grienke in one could expect the rotation pRAA to push into the stratosphere statistically.
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:22 PM
To demonstrate what I've been saying about Harper's effect:Top players in terms of wOBA and bRAA:Bryce Harper: 0.385 wOBA +12.6 bRAAAdam LaRoche: 0.358 wOBA +8.6 bRAAIan Desmond 0.343 wOBA +5.6 bRAATyler Moore 0.390 wOBA +3.0 bRAADanny Espinosa 0.322 wOBA -0.1 bRAA (average)As you can see the top hitters are all young recently former andcurrent prospects. Except LaRoche. That is an excellent sign.Have to expect Morse and Zimmerman (with cortisone) to rise upto those levels reasonably soon.Right now Morse is at -5.3 bRAA and Zimmerman at -6.3.
- Jim Webster - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:27 PM
94 wins? 96? Heck I'm hoping for 100.
- Drew - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:27 PM
Peric: You keep suggesting that this year's draft is a washout if Giolito doesn't sign. How can we possibly know that?This team got Tyler Moore in the 16th round, Lombo in the 19th, Rosenbaum in the 22nd and Peacock in the 41st.I have faith in the Nats' bird dogs. We have no idea what gems they've unearthed.
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:34 PM
Now looking at the pitching:Adjusted defense/park neutral tRA and pRAA (used to calculate the WAR)Gio Gonazlez: 2.28 tRA, 19.0 pRAA (superb / All Star)Stephen Strasburg: 2.50 tRA, 18.0 pRAA (superb/ All Star)Ross Detwiler 2.99 tRA, 9.2 pRAA (excellent)Edwin Jackson 3.83 tRA, 4.9 pRAA (very good!)Jordan Zimmermann 4.49 tRA, -2.1 pRAA (somewhat below average)I'm expecting Zimmermann to improve dramatically in the 2nd half. But they lose Stras in September. Couild J. Zimmnn make up for Stras's loss?BullpenTyler Clippard: 0.85 tRA, +13.4 pRAA (superb)Sean Burnett; 2.40 tRA, +5.8 pRAA (very good)Craig Stammen: 3.05 tRA, +5.7 pRAA (very good)Michael Gonzalez: 2.84 tRA, +1.3 pRAA (average to good)Tom Gorzelanny: 4.34 tRA 0.0 pRAA (average)
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Peric: You keep suggesting that this year's draft is a washout if Giolito doesn't sign. How can we possibly know that?Pretty much the consensus of all the scouts, Fangraphs, NFA_Brian, NationalsProspects … need I go on? The Nats intentionally went "frugal" (read cheap) to save funds in the top 10 rounds in a risky move to attempt signing Lucas Giolito who may be the top pitching talent in the draft. Right now Renda doesn't look like much in Auburn and he was the 2nd round pick.Look at this way @Drew … where did Brian Goodwin start off this year? And Alex Meyer? In Hagerstown right? Where did Anthony Rendon and Matt Purke start out? Purke in the AZ Fall League and then A+ Potomac. Rendon in A+ Potomac.How many of the college choices in this year's draft have started above Auburn? How many do you think will graduate to Hagerstown next season? Sparse few unfortunately … this year's draft will be a huge challenge for the Nat's player development folks. HUGE.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Giolito has no financial motive to sign – his family is extremely wealthy. He may just want the college experience. I think we actually drafted Tyler Moore 3 times? By the way , I love stats but the alphabet soup above is starting to make my eyes glaze over. Go Nats!
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:43 PM
Giolito has no financial motive to sign – his family is extremely wealthy. He may just want the college experience.Unless precluded by the CBA I expect the Nats will throw in the whole college education experience: unlimited just like McGreary. Of course doubtless they will be reluctant about him attempting what McGreary did: major league baseball and a tough school like Stanford all at once.
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Giolito represents a case where Ted Lerner and the Lerner's must step in to try to bring the kid on board somehow, someway. Giolito's Hollywood parents may have money but its peanuts compared to what the Lerner's have.
- JaneB - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:48 PM
Half way through! It's going sooooo fast and I'm enjoying every minute of it. We shouldn't make any trades. We are good to go. Trade one of our guys and you tilt the apple cart. And may I say how glad I am that we HAVE to be past the point of ever trading Desi. Phew.

Phew.Do you option Lombardozzi back to Syracuse or trade him for prospects or a part of a package to get a Grienke? Strasburg will be shut down. And Wang does not look like a solution more of a problem.
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:53 PM
Someone has to go when Werth comes back and I wouldn't part with T-Mo. He is better than Werth over the long-term offensively … defensively is another matter Methinks its Lombo since Davey isn't going to part with DeRosa.
- Drew - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:55 PM
Last year's bonanza draft haul was a bit of an anomaly as the Nats spent big to get out ahead of the CBA changes.It's very unusual to get a haul like the Nats' got last year — with Rendon, Meyer, Goodwin, Purke, Skole in one draft.The point is they always find players like Milone in the 10th round and Stammen in the 12th.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:02 PM
Does anyone see us going the distance with Nady? I just don't see enough value for him to hold down one of those valuable spots. I don't want to part with anyone!
- peric - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:05 PM
The point is they always find players like Milone in the 10th round and Stammen in the 12th.That's just the point. They didn't do that this year. Look up Nate Karn's bonus in the 12th round in 2009. It was $225,000; third highest that year.Sure looks like he was worth it. He looks a lot better than Silver Spike's runner up AJ Morris at the level he is at. Rizzo, Clark et al know their stuff.The 2nd and 3rd round picks in 2012 didn't even get close to that high. And the talent level is significantly lower. The only player who is at or exceeds the talent level of most of the 2009 top 15 pitchers is Giolito. Same is true in 2010. Same is true for 2011. Things are different now.

Bottom line: They absolutely MUST find a way to sign Lucas Giolito. Losing him is not an option. But it may still happen and it would be somewhat catastrophic organizationally. And anyone who tells you it isn't is lying.
- baseballswami - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:16 PM
Rizzo coming up on MLB to explain yet again , for the millionth time, that Stephen Strasburg will not pitch a full season. I wonder if he will ask them to read his lips.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:21 PM
I think Drew meant something more like Mike Piazza, Ryne Sandberg, Jorge Posada, Keith Hernandez, Jeff Conine … I could go on and on and on (can I ever!). Lots of very solid major leaguers get drafted late and don't show much at first; pretty much nobody saw them coming, including experts, who's predictions are better than mine, usually, but are still only predictions, not facts. Good guesses are good, but they're still guesses.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:23 PM
That said, if they don't sign him, they get a supplemental pick next year. They wouldn't have drafted him if they didn't meant to sign him, and I'm confident they will (FWIW), but if it doesn't happen, they're still a very good team.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 6, 2012 at 10:25 PM
In other words, it wouldn't be trivial, but nobody would lose their jobs over it, except maybe Giolito's agent.

How is his era not terrible? Must be that he gives up inherited runs because it feels like he always gives up runs. Stammen did last night, but not usually. Still, with no offense at all. I mean one hit in seven innings? Has our offense ever gone that deep with only one hit?

Really. It's not the 5 runs scored by the Rockies that bothers me , we know they can hit. It's the one lousy hit and the terrible at bats. It's back to the getting out on 1 and 2 pitches. Just awful.

April 28, 2015
AUBURN, Ala. -- Jordan Price scored 12 points and pulled within distance of threatening the NCAA record for consecutive made 3-pointers as Auburn defeated Tennessee Tech 81-62 on Tuesday night.
The victory pulled Auburn (5-5) to .500 for the first time since a one-point loss Nov. 21 at Boston College. Tennessee Tech (6-5) has lost two of its past three games.
Price was 3 for 3 from behind the arc, making him 11 for 11 in his past three games. Each of his 3-pointers came in the first half, and he committed a technical foul for taunting after the last. The freshman was quickly benched, but he returned shortly.
The NCAA record for consecutive made 3-pointers is 15, set by Northwestern's Todd Leslie in 1990.
Price's long-range shooting, though, wasn't the primary highlight Tuesday.
Auburn junior guard Chris Denson caught a pass near half court in the first half and raced for the basket. Tennessee Tech's 6-foot-5 guard Matt Marseille measured his steps and went up for a block attempt, but Denson dunked it over him.
Denson finished with 20 points, his third straight double-digit scoring game since returning from academic ineligibility. Senior guard Josh Wallace had 11 points, seven assists and three steals.
Senior guard Jud Dillard led Tennessee Tech with 22 points and added seven rebounds, while junior forward Dennis Ogbe had 14 points and seven rebounds.
Auburn closed the first half on a 12-3 run, extending its lead to 38-21 at the break. The Tigers got 19 points from freshmen -- Price with 12 and Shaq Johnson with seven -- in the opening 20 minutes.
Tennessee Tech did not pull within single digits in the final 20 minutes.

Rockies look for series split in finale with Fish
Rookie Yelich, improving righty Nicasio on display at Coors Field
The Marlins are already impressed by the play of 21-year-old outfielder Christian Yelich, and the Rockies are hopeful about the resurgence of starter Juan Nicasio. Both players will be on display Thursday at Coors Field, when the two teams wrap up their mid-week series.
For the Marlins, the arrival of prospect Yelich seems to have come at the right time as the team rebuilds and looks for positives for the rest of 2013 and beyond.
Yelich was 3-for-4 with two RBIs in his Major League debut Tuesday night and went hitless while drawing a walk on Wednesday, but the way he carries himself is what has impressed Miami manager Mike Redmond the most so far.
"I think what I saw was a lot like what we all saw in Spring Training," Redmond said. "It was just a no-panic confidence, great at-bats. He went up there and he looked totally comfortable in his surroundings and he didn't look like he was nervous at all … sometimes, [rookies] get a little bit overanxious in their debut.
"He put together some great at-bats and that's exactly what we liked about him in Spring Training, and he was able to go up there and do that."
The Rockies got a great night out of Nicasio in his last start. The right-hander, who will be opposed by Marlins righty Nathan Eovaldi on Thursday, held the Cubs to one run on three hits in five innings, leading to his second consecutive win, something he had not yet accomplished in his career.
Since a two-start demotion to Triple-A Colorado Springs, Nicasio has responded with his best work of the year. Prior to his last outing, he had held the Dodgers scoreless on three hits in seven innings.
"When I went down to Triple-A, I told a couple people I needed to clear my mind," Nicasio said. "Before, when I'd have a lead, I'd be careful. Now, I throw a fastball in the middle. Whatever, hit it. Just throw a fastball down."
Marlins: Eovaldi looking for bounce-back performance
Eovaldi hadn't pitched fewer than six innings in his first six starts of the season before his last against Milwaukee, when he was beat up for six runs on 10 hits in four innings.
"Most of the counts, I was behind," Eovaldi said. "I wasn't getting strike one, and then the fastball was up in the zone. It's hard to pitch that way. It's definitely frustrating ... just not attacking, really. I've got to attack those guys better."
One possible reason for the bad outing was the fact that Eovaldi hadn't been on the mound for eight days due to the All-Star break.
"He struggled with command and it looked like he was a little up in the zone with his fastball," Redmond said. "They hit him pretty good. He gave us everything he could."
Rockies: CarGo still one bag shy
• Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez has 26 home runs and 19 stolen bases, so his next steal will give him membership in the 20-20 club for the fourth consecutive season. No other Rockies player has ever had consecutive 20-20 seasons and current hitting coach Dante Bichette is the only other to have multiple 20-20 seasons (1994 and 1996). Gonzalez made an attempt at bag No. 20 on Wednesday night, but was thrown out.
• Todd Helton has 361 career home runs and is now tied with Joe DiMaggio for 76th on MLB's all-time list. He trails Lance Berkman of the Rangers (366) for 75th place.
• In his five games after the break, second baseman DJ LeMahieu has hit safely in each of them. He's 9-for-20 (.450) overall with a double, triple and two runs scored.
Worth noting
• Since June 16, Miami starting pitchers have allowed three or fewer runs in 28 of 32 games and two or fewer 21 times. The rotation's ERA of 3.03 (66 earned runs in 196 1/3 innings) over that span ranks third in the Majors behind Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
• Rockies reliever Rex Brothers has allowed just six earned runs all year (42 2/3 innings). All of the runs have been allowed at home.

well this sold me
First, and foremost, we are about to release an offshoot game of Alien Arena, known as Alien Arena: Tactical. This game creates sort of a hybrid of a tactical military shooter, and the classic faster-paced FPS games. In a couple of weeks we will release what we consider to be an Alpha of this new game. It will include one level, and most of the features that we originally planned and intend to include. This game is class based, which each class having different capabilities, and requiring them to work together to have the most success. Some classes can plant bombs, some can detonate them, some spawn with a super-weapon, etc. Different health and armor statistics for each class are also included. The game pits humans against aliens, in an all-out war to destroy the others base. Each base has three key components, and each of these components have sub-components that either aid in defending the base, or aid another component in the event of failure/destruction. Movement is slower than classic deathmatch Alien Arena, but still uses the same physics and principals. Players can only pick up one weapon at a time, other than their starting weapon and bomb kit. Teamwork is completely essential in this game.

Selecting a wiki software - three reasons to use MojoMojo
Wiki software abounds in this day and age. Indeed, the choice is so comprehensive that it lead to the need for a specialized wiki comparison site WikiMatrix.org. At the time of this writing, WikiMatrix lists no less that 119 wikis, and Wikipedia lists over a hundred as well.
For those who would prefer a Perl solution, the choice is somewhat narrowed down to three big contenders: FosWiki (the offspring of TWiki), SocialText (proprietary, with an aborted open-source attempt), and the new cool kid, Catalyst-powered MojoMojo.
But even if one is not a Perl aficionado, MojoMojo combines some interesting featured which make up for a unique package. This article will describe the top three reasons to use MojoMojo, whether you're a Perl monk or not.
Live, as you type, preview
WYSIWYG browser-based editors have come a long way, but still, they somehow always manage to mess up or clutter your markup. Also, for anything more complex than a nested list, sometimes you just want to get down to the bare code and say exactly what you mean. On the other hand, the cycle of edit-hit preview-doesn't look right-scroll to where I was-edit again-repeat, is tiresome. If you edit any Wikipedia page containing tables, you'll see that right away.
MojoMojo combines the best of both worlds - it lets you enter your markup, and previews it instantly in an opposite pane, as you type.
Hierarchical page structure and folksonomical tags as well
Ever hit a Wikipedia disambiguation page? Such pages exist because one concept means more things. Paris can be a city in France, in Texas, a Greek god, or a genus of plants. MojoMojo avoids the problem of disambiguation pages by organizing content hierarchically:
Tree hierarchy | Flat structure | |
/geography/europe/france/paris | Paris | |
geography/usa/texas/paris | Paris, Texas | |
/mythology/greek/paris | Paris (mythology) | |
/botany/paris | Paris (genus) |
At the same time, MojoMojo is aware that content cannot always be categorized in strict tree-like directories of concepts. As Professor Michael Wesch points out in his video Information R/evolution, "ontology is overrated". Thus, you can tag your pages and let a folksonomy emerge from all the tags that other editors add.
Extensive permissions
MojoMojo has one of the most flexible and capable authorization layers of any wiki software, allowing control over both editing and viewing. This is an important feature of any wiki and lets an administrator control who can see and who can edit everything.
In closing, other features
If this hasn't convinced you, would a cup of coffee? While MojoMojo doesn't make it (yet), it has some other notable features:
- Choose your markup language: MultiMarkdown, Textile2, POD, or if nothing cuts it, (scrubbed) HTML
- Built-in full text search, with external search option
- Easy RSS feeds
- Support for attachments, with photo gallery for image attachments
- Diffs, revision control and edit conflict resolution via 3-way merge
- User registration control and CAPTCHA anti-spam measures
- Localization (currently translated into French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Catalan, Polish) and full Unicode support
- Doesn't need a web server - Catalyst has its own, and HTTP::Prefork is highly efficient

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Mechanical Devices for Urinary Incontinence in Women
Mechanical devices may be used to manage different types of urinary incontinence.
For stress incontinence:
This section is not applicable to this treatment.
Mechanical devices can be used to control stress and mixed urinary incontinence. Because they are inexpensive and have few risks, they are usually tried before surgery, along with other treatments like pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises. Some women who have incontinence but who don't want or can't have surgery may find that mechanical devices work well enough to control their incontinence.
There is no strong evidence that these devices work to control incontinence. But they are inexpensive and don't have a lot of risks. If they don't work for you, you can always try other things like pelvic floor exercises or surgery.
Using a urethral insert increases the risk of:
Using pessaries increases the risk of damaging the:
Use of mechanical devices is under your control and can be designed to fit into your lifestyle.
For some women, a tampon inserted in the vagina creates enough pressure to prevent leaking. Tampons are a less expensive option than a pessary, with little risk.

The Ered Wethrin ("Mountains of Shadow") was a mountain range in the north of Middle-earth in the First Age.
In the south, it was an east-west range that divided Dor-lómin and Mithrim to the north from Beleriand to the south, then in the east it curved around to the northwest, forming the boundary of Hithlum. A line of hills to the southwest formed the southern boundary of Nevrast, while the Mountains of Mithrim were a northwesterly spur that separated Dor-Lomin from Mithrim.
Several rivers arose in the Ered Wethrin, including Narog, Teiglin, and Sirion. The easternmost point of the Ered Wethrin reached nearly to the Echoriath, forming a steep-sided valley through which the upper Sirion ran.
The Ered Wethrin disappeared beneath the waves at the end of the First Age.

Tom McClintock on Education2004 former Republican Challenger CA Governor | |
McCLINTOCK: I would not postpone the exams. We put $270,000 on average into every classroom in the state. Only a fraction of it gets into the classroom. For years I proposed classroom-based budgets where the bureaucracy would have to justify how much they are taking out of the classroom for their support and the Democrats killed it in the legislature, saying it is too much trouble to ensure the money gets into the classroom to educate the kids.
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Bishop, R-UT]: In 1996, Congress insisted upon a charter school program in DC. You will hear from both sides of the aisle recognition of the great value that that program has, and justifiably so. There is a waiting list in DC for those charter schools.
This bill increases the percentage of funding going to charter schools in the District. In 2003, an Opportunity Scholarship was instituted, at the insistence of Congress. Again, there was a waiting list of people wanting the opportunity; disadvantaged kids who wanted the opportunity that this scholarship afforded them. There were 216 kids at the time scheduled to enter the program who were not allowed; the bill remedies that.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Hastings, D-FL]: In the last 41 years voters have rejected private school vouchers every time they have been proposed. In 1981, 89% of the people in a referendum in DC voted against vouchers. So how dare we come here to tell these people that we are going to thrust upon them something they don't want without a single public official in this community being consulted. Congress' oversight of the District is not an excuse for political pandering to the Republicans' special interest of the day du jour.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes: Rep. BETSY MARKEY (D, CO-4): This legislation will improve the learning environment for our children, reduce energy costs and create new jobs across the country. Green schools not only save school districts money but also teach the importance of sustainable living to children at a young age.
Opponent's argument to vote No: Rep. GLENN THOMPSON (R, PA-5): We all know our Nation is drowning in a sea of red ink. The bill we're debating today would add an estimated $40 billion in new spending. And despite the majority's hollow promises of fiscal responsibility, there's nothing in the legislation to offset this hefty price tag with spending reductions elsewhere. This is just more of the same borrow and spend, spend and borrow policy that we've seen under this majority and this administration.

Nelson returns from blister issue to face Giants
San Francisco calls on Lincecum for opener in Milwaukee
After being scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday with a blister on his right middle finger, Jimmy Nelson said he'll be ready to go on Tuesday for the Brewers' series opener against the Giants.
The blister first developed last Sunday in Nelson's start against the Mets, and it tore off during a long toss session in St. Petersburg. He was on board with the decision to push the start back a few days.
"The main thing is not letting it snowball to where it lingers on," Nelson said. "Let's knock it out now so it doesn't carry on."
Nelson threw a light bullpen session Sunday in St. Louis to make sure the issue would not affect his pitches. Up to that point, he said it was not an issue because of the location of the blister -- in the middle of the pad of his finger.
"I've never had a blister problem," he said. "It's just from sweating and constantly rubbing, just like a runner gets on his heels when you're sweating and your shoes are rubbing. Every pitch I throw, that part of my finger is rubbing right on the seam. We've been doing a bunch of treatments since it happened to harden it up and give it a protective layer so the skin can grow under it.
"It's tough, because at the same time, you have to get your throwing in. So you're trying to be careful about the way you're throwing, so you don't make it worse all over again. I should be good. It's been slowly getting better every day. Of course, I'm anxious to get back out there. My body feels good."
Nelson, a rookie, has shown improvement in his last two starts, allowing five earned runs in 13 innings after a disastrous outing in his first start in the rotation.
He'll face off against veteran Tim Lincecum, who's 3-1 with a 3.64 ERA in his career at Miller Park.
As of late, Lincecum has struggled, allowing a combined 11 earned runs in 7 2/3 innings against the Dodgers and Pirates in his two most recent starts. After lasting just 3 1/3 innings against the Bucs, Lincecum identified a mechanical problem which compounded his troubles.
"Instead of driving through my back leg, I was peeling off and couldn't really right the wrong," Lincecum said.
A simple flip up over the calendars could correct Lincecum's recent woes, though. Over 40 career starts in August, Lincecum owns a 3.24 ERA, his second lowest ERA of any one month.
Giants: Sanchez cleared for rehab assignment
Now free of all concussion-related symptoms, Giants backup catcher Hector Sanchez is expected to join Triple-A Fresno Tuesday to begin his rehab assignment.
Sanchez has been on the disabled list since July 26 after sustaining a concussion from a foul tip off his mask.
The team hasn't specified how long of a stint he'll require. Fresno finishes off a two-game series in Salt Lake City Tuesday and has an off-day Wednesday before embarking on a five-day series in Tacoma on Thursday.
Sanchez was batting .196 (32-for-163) with three home runs and 28 RBIs before landing on the DL.
Buster Posey has received more action behind the dish with Sanchez sidelined, but Posey is expected to receive a day of rest on Tuesday.
Brewers: Gennett, Segura sit with stiff quads
With two important months remaining in the regular season, the Brewers have some concern about the lingering leg issues dogging their double-play combination. Both second baseman Scooter Gennett (right quadriceps) and shortstop Jean Segura (left quadriceps) were sidelined Sunday after previous injuries flared up in Saturday's loss at Busch Stadium.
"It's OK," Gennett said Sunday morning. "It's just one of those things that obviously isn't going to really go away. It probably will eventually. I just need to watch out, how much I'm using it. I can't go all-out speed every time. That's usually how I play, I'm running out every ground ball no matter what the case is."
Gennett had previously been out of the lineup for five days just after the All-Star break. He appeared to twist his ankle on a swing in the ninth inning of Sunday's game but remained in to finish the at-bat.
Worth noting
• Milwaukee has had at least a share of first place in the National League Central every day since April 5.
• The Brewers are the only team in the Major Leagues with five players at 50 RBIs or more (Ryan Braun, Khris Davis, Carlos Gomez, Jonathan Lucroy, Aramis Ramirez).
• Second baseman Dan Uggla will be released by the Giants after declining an assignment to Triple-A Fresno.

Napolitano, Vilsack to stay in Obama's second term
Monday - 1/14/2013, 2:32pm EST
By Federal News Radio and
the Associated Press
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will remain in her position in President Barack Obama's second term, a DHS official confirmed to Federal News Radio.
Napolitano took office in 2009. Prior to that she served as the governor of Arizona.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will also keep his job.
USDA communications director Matt Paul said Monday that Obama asked Vilsack to stay in his post and Vilsack accepted. Vilsack is the former Democratic governor of Iowa.
The farm economy has thrived under Vilsack's tenure, but his job hasn't been as easy in Washington. He is expected to spend the next several months lobbying Congress to pass a farm bill that would extend agriculture subsidies and domestic food aid. Farm-state lawmakers' efforts to pass that bill failed in the last Congress.
Vilsack spent much of his first term working to revitalize rural America. He said in a December speech that rural areas are becoming less relevant as the U.S. population shifts to cities.

Bombers ask Nuno to outduel unbeaten Moore
Yanks lefty to make second career start opposite hurler on historic run
Selected by the Indians in the 48th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, released two years later and now taking Ivan Nova's spot in the Yankees' starting rotation is 25-year-old left-hander Vidal Nuno.
While Nova was activated from the 15-day disabled list Friday, Yankees manager Joe Girardi sent him to the bullpen.
Instead, Nuno, who will start Saturday's game against the Rays, will keep the gig after shining in his first Major League start on May 13, when he threw five shutout innings against the Indians.
"Nuno did a very good job in his last start, so we're going to stick with that," Giardi said.
Released by the Indians before the start of the 2011 season, Nuno's last mark as a member of the Cleveland organization was a 4.96 ERA with Class A Lake County. He was signed by the Yankees later that season and hasn't posted an ERA above 2.96 at any level since.
Nuno is expected to throw about 75-90 pitches, while Nova, stretched out for multiple innings, could be used in relief.
The Rays send unbeaten Matt Moore to the mound, where he'll be looking for his ninth win of the season. The 23-year-old could become the fifth-youngest starter of all-time, and the second-youngest left-hander, to begin a season 9-0.
Moore, who has a 2.29 ERA with 54 strikeouts in 55 innings, downplayed the significance of the win.
"We're trying to win every game," he said. "The same 'want-to' is there."
While the Yankees took the first game of the three-game series Friday, the Rays are 13-4 against them at Tropicana Field since July 21, 2011.
Yankees: Granderson breaks finger
The Yankees suffered yet another blow Friday night when Curtis Granderson was hit in the left hand by a 90-mph sinker from Rays lefty Cesar Ramos. Granderson suffered a fractured left metacarpal (knuckle on pinky finger) and will be out at least four weeks.
Granderson missed the first six weeks of the season with a fractured right forearm suffered after getting hit by a pitch from J.A. Happ.
Rays: No concern over Rodney's struggles
Fernando Rodney has already blown four saves this season after going 48-for-50 in 2012.
But manager Joe Maddon looks at the big picture and sees a proven closer that hasn't lost ability, just confidence.
"It's not like he's been awful. He has not been awful," Maddon said. "It's so close between feeling really good about himself and not feeling good about himself. Physically, he's fine."
Most alarming might be Rodney's walk rate. He's issued 17 free passes in 18 1/3 innings this season after walking just 15 in 74 2/3 innings a year ago.
Worth noting
• Matt Joyce, who left Tuesday's game with left hamstring tightness, was back in the Rays' lineup Friday -- in the leadoff spot -- and went 1-for-4 with a double.
• Yankees third baseman David Adams went 2-for-4 Friday and is 6-for-16 with two home runs over his last four games.
