Respective starters aim to rebound in series finale
Oakland's Griffin faces Kansas City's Mendoza in rubber match
Through the first two games of their series at Kauffman Stadium this weekend, the A's and Royals have put on a show of starting pitching across the board, each of the starters going deep into games.
When they face off Sunday in the finale not only of their series but the final game of the season between two young teams to watch in the American League this summer, it will be A's right-hander A.J. Griffin and Royals right-hander Luis Mendoza hoping to continue that trend of starters going deep.
The Royals claimed their first victory over the A's this season Saturday thanks in part to Ervin Santana marking the 31st time Royals starters have pitched at least seven innings this year. The team didn't reach that figure until September last year, when the Royals finished with 37.
The A's, meanwhile, have been one of the best starting outfits in the game after a rough beginning to 2013, going 23-7 with a 3.02 ERA since May 17.
As he tries to pitch the Royals to a series victory, Mendoza is looking to bounce back from a rough outing against the Indians on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs in the first inning on two hits, two walks and a hit batter. The Indians scored two more in the fourth inning prompting Mendoza's early exit.
"I'm going to try to come back stronger than my last start and try to leave that start behind me and finish strong the first half," Mendoza said.
Winless at home in seven starts this season, Mendoza is 2-4 with a 4.41 ERA and 0-2 with a 3.31 ERA in six games (three starts) against Oakland, including his Major League debut in 2007 while with Texas. He pitched against the A's on May 19 in Oakland and allowed three runs over six innings.
Griffin, too, is coming off a rough one, having tied a career-high by allowing seven earned runs as well as a career-high 10 hits against the Cubs his last time out. He had a two-hit shutout the start before against the powerful Reds, and he didn't get tagged for the loss against the Cubs after the A's rallied late.
"I felt fine out there," Griffin said. "They just got the big hit when they needed it. I felt like I was making good pitches, and they really didn't make hard contact that much. I'm just fortunate enough to be on a team that scores a ton of runs."
A's: Donaldson just keeps doing it
After whacking his 15th homer of the season Saturday, A's third baseman Josh Donaldson is now batting .365 (23-for-63) with six homers and 15 RBIs over his last 17 games.
With a bloop single in the third inning Saturday, Donaldson registered his 100th hit of the season, becoming only the 14th player in Oakland A's history to reach that mark before the All-Star break. The last was Miguel Tejada -- now with the Royals.
• After their 4-3 loss Saturday, the A's are now 16-11 in one-run games.
Royals: Gordon returns to action
After missing two games following a collision with the outfield fence, Alex Gordon was back in the lineup Saturday, going 0-for-2 but drawing three walks back at the top of the order.
Gordon was injured Wednesday chasing a fly ball off the bat of the Indians' Jason Kipnis. Originally diagnosed with a mild concussion and hip contusion, he passed all his tests and became eligible to play Saturday.
• Billy Butler did not reach base Saturday, stopping his streak at 32 games in which he reached base safely, dating back to May 31. He was one shy of Mike Sweeney's 33 in 2003 for the fourth longest in franchise history.
Also, Eric Hosmer saw his hitting streak end at seven games.
Worth noting
• Entering Sunday's 2013 finale between the two teams, the A's already have the season series clinched for the fourth time in five years.
• Following Sunday's finale, the A's will continue their road trip with a stop in Pittsburgh for three Interleague games with the team holding the National League's best record, starting Monday.
• The Royals will head to the Bronx for a big four-game set against the Yankees, followed by a visit to Cleveland to wrap up the first half.

by David Brown The Coolpix S9500 features powerful 22X optical zoom in a compact body. (Silver model show) Long-range zoom that's easy to take anywhere That's a lot of lens for such a small camera. The Nikon Coolpix S9500 is the perfect marriage between powerful zoom and compact design. Where most compact cameras run out of zoom, the S9500 keeps going, getting you closer and closer to your subjects. Image quality is no afterthought with this impressive little camera. The 18.1-megapixel CMOS sensor is extremely light-sensitive, letting you capture highly detailed, low-noise photos even when lighting is poor.

Just download Nikon's mobile app to your Apple® or Android™> smartphone or tablet, and instantly send photos to your device for emailing to friends or uploading to sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Don't Bother Written By JCD, San Francisco on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 I bought this camera specifically for the 22X zoom as I was going on a wildlife trip. The zoom is sub-par, pretty much blurring after about half way zoom, shaking and unfocused. The flash pops up at just the place where one normally places their fingers while holding the camera. Maybe worth the current price but not worth the brand new price I paid when it was released. Very disappointed. Back to Sony. Pros: I dunno Cons: Crap zoom, bad positioning of Flash
Canon Coolpix S9500 Written By Yarls24, Bloomington,IL on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy to use..great pictures. Pros: Screen is nice and big
Perfect point&shot camera Written By czlowiekmpp, Clearwater, FL on Thursday, December 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good camera with a lot of features-GPS, Wi-Fi, huge 18x zoom, 3D and panorama pictures, optical shake reduction, HD movie and much much more. Highly recommend this camera Pros: Fast focus, zoom
Nikon CoolPix Written By Fox Ridge, Keswick, VA on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Terrific feature-heavy point and shoot. Powerful zoom coupled with Continuous Mode snaps multiple pics at any distance to capture the best faces or figures on moving targets - like kids at a birthday party. It worked well right out of the box (including the WiFi transfer to mobile devices), and has a multitude of great features that will take time to learn. The Nikon View NX2 software is easy to use and great for managing and uploading pics to a computer. I am very pleased with the S9500 and recommend it highly.

is there zfs support for linux 3.12 yet? it was broken on the release candidates.
Phoronix: Linux 3.12 Kernel Released; Linux 4.0 Planning Talked Up
As was anticipated, the Linux 3.12 kernel was released this afternoon. The Linux 3.12 kernel is a mighty big update but beyond announcing its debut, Linus Torvalds also made mention of a delay in the Linux 3.13 merge window and has begun expressing possible plans for a Linux 4.0 release in about one year's time...
is there zfs support for linux 3.12 yet? it was broken on the release candidates.
If he keeps this up, though, he'll just end up with Linux (some-large-number).0 within a few years. Why not at least run it up to 3.99 before switching to 4.0, and avoid using up the supply of small major version numbers...Last but not least, Linus Torvalds is beginning to brew plans for Linux 4.0. Linux 4.0 isn't about some big change, but similar to going from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.0, it's simply with the minor point release numbers rising quite high. Linus doesn't want to have a Linux 3.(some-large-number) so after Linux 3.19 he's tossing out the idea of moving to Linux 4.0.
if they just plan 19 releases of a kernel version and the 20th is a new one, maybe they should make it more predictable.
for example from v4 to v5, it would be more predictable to go by multiples of 5:
4.00 , 4.05, 4.10, 4.15, 4.20 [...] 4.85, 4.90, 4.95, 5.00
going from 2.60 to 3.00 and from 3.19 to 4.00, without it being an "awesome" big release and just a normal one is kinda weird IMO.
But who said FOSS has ever been "predictable" ...
i find both ubuntu and openbsd versioning to work well.
ubuntu numbers after release date, so 13.04, 13.10 etc.
openbsd goes 3.9, 4.0, 4.1 etc.
there were huge changes between linux 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6...
but really the changes are getting smaller now. and to me, it's about 2.2 where it started getting to the point that most things worked pretty well. 2.0 was pretty bad, enough for me to use 2.1 kernerls.
that said i'm using 3.2-rc7 right now, and just ignoring my zfs file system.
Kernel version numbers are fairly meaningless. You can't really tell anything about the kernel just from the version number unless you follow Phoronix or some other kernel news source. If the pattern continues to repeat, you may be able to tell which kernel is an LTS and which kernel a distro will use, but that's subject to change very quickly.
I like the date-influenced version scheme as well, but the kernels have a variable number of rc's, so it could get confusing if a release was delayed into the next month.i find both ubuntu and openbsd versioning to work well.
He has to keep pace with Firefox and Chrome! (I think they're up to 150.0 now, or maybe I've just lost track of time...)

Comments about Shimano R133L Road Shoes:
This is my 2nd pair of road shoe and so far this model is much better that the one I had before. My only complain is the width of the shoe is a little narrow but is otherwise a good buy.

Good shoes, good price
By willy t
from Daytona Beach, Fl
I used these for the first time to day. For me they are great, comfortable, light, cool, an stiff enough to be effective. I had Carnacs that were coming a part do to age. I paid a lot more for them and if memory serves me the Shimano r133l feels better to me. Time will tell, but very happy now. Bill

Stephen Strasburg has thrown 100 innings this season (counting the All-Star Game).
The Nationals open tomorrow what promises to be the most compelling second half to a season since the franchise arrived in town in 2005, owners of the NL's best record but saddled with several major questions that need to be answered.
Today we're counting down the five most significant storylines to the remainder of the Nationals' season. Next up is storyline No. 2: The club's plan to shut down ace Stephen Strasburg before season's end…
It's been hovering over the Nationals since at least the first day of spring training. Perhaps since the offseason. And perhaps since all the way back in September 2011, when the Nats shut down Jordan Zimmermann at 161 1/3 innings in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery and suggested they would do the same with Stephen Strasburg in 2012.
And we're getting closer to it becoming reality.
Are the Nationals really going to shut down their ace with several weeks remaining in a pennant race, then prevent him from pitching in theRead more »
- mick - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:05 PM
very simple, 89% full recovery rate when shut down the year after TJS, only a fool would pitch Strass after his innings are up!
- SCNatsFan - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:11 PM
mick I saw something last night about Hersheiser and the year he blew his arm away by pitching so much, including out of the pen, during the Dodgers run to the WS; although he was never the same pitcher again he said he wouldn't change a thing to get the WS ring. While sa a Nats fan I'm looking at the long term picture you have to look from SS point of view; sometimes the window of opportunity only opens for a fraction of a minute and you can't blame him for wanting to take his shot.
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:13 PM
SCNatsfan, he is 23 years old. Window of opportunity is pretty wide for this guy.
- mick - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:14 PM
Three negatives with not shutting down Strass:1) It would show a lack of confidence from management on long term success. In other words, if you believe you are the Braves of the 21st Century, and that playoff baseball will be reality the next decade every season, then stick with the plan.2) The other negative, and this is cynical, would show that the Lerners do not want to spend money to keep Strass, Harper, Storen and Clip long term, by taking a one shot deal on 2012 for a WS.3) If Strass gets hut, the Nats look like asses and future prospects and free agents will have ZERO respect for the Nats medical staff.letting Strass pitch is a lose lose proposition!!
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:15 PM
No doubt that he should be shut down as soon as he hits 160 innings. I don't think only his absence can be reason for us missing playoffs. several things will have to go wrong for that. Yes, we would all love that deep run in postseason but going to playoff from 80 wins is pretty incredible itself. Not saying that i would be happy with only postseason appearance.
- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:16 PM
Strasburg's recent performances indicate he may already be seeing the wall if not hitting it. It's hard to think his first three pro seasons were, essentially, a waste. But that's the way it's working out. Blame Boras for that damned mining for the last nickel that denied Strasburg — and any number of other clients — the chance to learn how to be pros in the year they were drafted.
- mick - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:16 PM
I hear you SCNats… I just think we would regret it if he was hurt as aresult of this
- hscer - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:17 PM
"The Nationals, as an organization, don't believe in letting young pitchers exceed their previous seasons' innings totals by more than 30 percent or so."161.3*1.3=209.7110.3/17*33=214.3Jordan Zimmermann is on pace for a 33% increase–basically that 30% number–but, that could become 220-240 innings (approaching a 50% increase on the high end), depending on how the postseason shapes up.Are the Nats worried about Zimmermann at all, or is he past the point of concern in his career?
- LoveDaNats - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:19 PM
How would a Strass shutdown be accounted for? Would he be taken off the active roster to make way for another player? Would he still be able to be with the team? What is the alternative to the DL for a healthy player?
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:20 PM
Znn is 26. Most of the issues are associated with players 25 and younger, so they are not outside of best practices by letting him go. Besides, the kid's a horse.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:21 PM
No need in September, LoveDa, unless they have to move him off the 40-man for some reason, but for the playoffs, yes, it would be a DL, I imagine.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:23 PM
But can they convey their reasons for doing so in a manner that convinces everyone else to commit to the plan as well? Why would they need to convince anyone else outside the organization?
- natsfan1a - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:25 PM
I was wondering the same thing, sec3.
- TheManBearPig - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:28 PM
The Nats can afford to shut down their second-best starting pitcher after he reaches his innings limit.
- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:29 PM
LDN — Accounting isn't an issue; after 8.31 the roster limit is 40.
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:29 PM
I agree, no need to convince anyone. People should be bright enough to see what they are doing.
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:29 PM
Nats fans are already convinced, and really, that's all that counts. Boz ran a survey and it was a landslide (84%) in favor of the shutdown. Remember, the Nats are a year ahead of schedule. And, it doesn't matter how well Stras pitches if the hitting isn't there. Everyone outside of DC is just posting about the "Stras shutdown" issue so they have something to write about the Nats on their blogs. There are no other real controversies–other than Harper's gold shoes–and that's great!
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:34 PM
I am more worried about Zimmerman. Is one shot ok for him to carry the offense until off-season?
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:35 PM
NL, let's face it, on the shoes, there's only two possible positions: either you think they're grotesquely ugly, or you think they're gloriously ugly.
- Donald - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:37 PM
What if he came down with a 'strained lat' or something and ended up on the DL for 15 days in early August. Would that stretch it out to the post season and still not risk injuring him?
- natsfan1a - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:39 PM
So, that's gugly either way?

One more reason for shutting Jesus down as scheduled:We're going to be so far ahead in the NL East is mid-September that the games are going to be meaningless anyway.There, I said it. Drug-test me.
- natsfan1a - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Sunshine, have you been getting into the bourbon again? Eh, what the hey. It's an off day. Go for it.
- rarumberger - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:57 PM
I call bullspit on the 30% increase mumbo-jumbo. The Nats have given no indication, publicly at least, that such a thing has anything to do with their decision.It's strictly for medical reasons, which is why they have been adamant that there are no limits on Jordan this year.The only reason that this so-called controversy still exists is because the media has, at times, confused Strasburg's medically advised rehab (limiting his workload for now) with the "Verducci effect." The two are unrelated.
- JD - Jul 12, 2012 at 8:58 PM
Ghost, I think you have to be more careful with SS than you were with ZNN because: 1) He's younger. 2) He's less sturdy. 3) He throws a lot of pitches per inning. I would err on the side of caution with SS and not do any shenanigans to postpone the inevitable. Stick with the plan Rizzo; get a pitcher like Wandy to get us through this year and then we'll go to war again next year with more bullets at our disposal.
- JD - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:00 PM
rarumberger, I disagree; I think SS would have been limited similarly in his 1st full year had he not been injured. C.C Sabathia who never gets arm problems and routinely pitches 230 – 250 innings a year credits the Indians for limiting his innings when he 1st came up for his durability.
- Bill Simmons - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:03 PM
What is the big deal? Strasburg has only been average for the last month. I'd be more worried about Gonzalez and Zimmermann.
- JaneB - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:03 PM
I was going to post something similar to Sunshine Bobby's prediction that we'll be so far ahead, September won't be an issue. October? I predict a whole lot more fussing then.But the doctor knows what he knows. We want Stras pitching for us for years to come. I'm in the shut him down and find a new topic group. And, truly — consider him as a pinch hitter. He can't pitch past 160ish innings. Nothing says he can't HIT. I am serious. We don't always need to substitute a position player to get a hit when we need one.

- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:06 PM
If you won't let the Golden Arm pitch, how you gonna let it run the bases? Slide into home?
- MicheleS - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:08 PM
when he hits the limit, shut him down.
- natsfan1a - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:14 PM
Well, it was that or a drug test, like you said. Howdja know? Am I slurring my words again?
- Feel Wood - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Rizzo has known all along that he would have to shut Strasburg down in September. So to protect himself against the contingency that the Nats might still be in the hunt when Strasburg reaches his innings limit, he spent $16M – $5M for a proven major league starter that he's got stashed in AAA now waiting to be the fifth starter in September, and $11M for a proven major league starter with World Series experience who will have no problem holding down the #3 starter spot in the playoffs. If Rizzo hadn't done that, then second-guessing of him might be in order if the Nats just miss the playoffs. But that $16M investment signals that he has been going for it all along. Remember, no matter what you do there are no guarantees.
- Section 222 - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:37 PM
No need for Stras to slide into home after he gets a pinch hit. After Sept 1 just pinch run for him!
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:39 PM
FeelWood, very good points, excactly!!
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:41 PM
222, he's just going to hit homeruns anyway. Won't need to be on the bases at all.
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:45 PM
man it would be awesome if John Lannan wins WS MVP for us this year.
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 9:57 PM

NatsLady, As you know I am all for shutting SS down; earlier than planned if necessary but I must admit that I am not comfortable with the notion of Lannan taking SS starts if we are in need of wins to get into the post season.
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:04 PM
Yes, I also am not comfortable with Lannan. I say we give up a reliever for a 2-month rental of someone. Keep Lannan in case there is an injury (or include him in the trade if necessary).
- JD - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:06 PM
I just noticed that we are playing the Marlins in a 4 game series and are not facing Anibal Sanchez in any of the games. Bonus !!
- JD - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:06 PM
NatsLady, Which reliever?
- SonnyG10 - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:07 PM
Because of the youth and post-season inexperience of a large part of our team, I would expect us not to go very deep into the playoffs, assuming we make the playoffs. (of course I would like to be wrong on this point) The pressure is going to be ramped up and our youngsters may have difficulties with this. I point this out to say what a shame it would be to ruin Stras on what could turn out to be a wasted effort.I think part of Stras' problems this year is due to this being his first year back from TJ surgery. I expect him to have better control and stamina next year. If we get some playoff experience this year, we should be in good shape to make another run next year.
- Steady Eddie - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:12 PM
FS if John Lannan wins WS MVP for us this yearOnly in bizarro universe. The WS rotation will either be Gio, JZimm, EJax; or will add Det; or will add another arm by trade.Lannan will only figure into September unless something untoward happens to one of the other four. No way do we go with more than a four man rotation in the playoffs.mick @4:14 — I nominate that for your most thoughtful post ever. Thanks for the solid contribution (not that there's significant dispute about shutting Stras down here). rarumberger — agree that even talking about the 30% thing is silly in the Stras context. Speculating on "what would the Nats have done with Stras' innings limit if he hadn't had TJ surgery" is about as worthwhile as asking "what would the Nats have done with their rotation if Livo was still pitching really well?" Sofa — no, there's at least a third choice re Harp's shoes — bizarrely, gloriously ugly. Or just bizarrely ugly. Fourth choice. Spanish inquisition.We need actual baseball. This is getting old already.Mark, can you post the next game thread a day early and then post another game thread when the lineups come out?
- Clip&Store - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:18 PM
I say let him go 165ish and shut him down. let him qualify for era & whip poor jzimm was, what, 2 out away last year?
- Unknown - Jul 12, 2012 at 10:28 PM
Seven games ago, Strasburg had a 2.31 ERA and was as unhittable as any pitcher in the league.In the last six games, he is 3-3 with a 3.71 ERA. Did the league figure out his 98 mph fastball? Probably not. Is he starting to wear down? Probably.If he pitches the remainder of his starts as he has the last six, we're talking John Lannan production (and no, I'm not suggesting any equality there)and we might as well give him a rest.Regardless of how well the Nationals do this year, 2013 was always the target year. Let's make sure he's going to be "Stephen Strasburg" next year.Farid @ Idaho

It seems like every nats fan understands he needs to be shut down…its all the talking heads that want him to blow his arm out.
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 11:46 PM
Oddity:That's a first: On Sunday, Washington's Mike Gonzalez entered in the 8th with the tying run on 3rd and no outs. While pitching to his first batter, he unloosed a wild pitch, tying the score and moving the go-ahead run to 2nd. Then he struck out the side — CarGo, Tyler Colvin (both hitting over .300/.960) and Todd Helton. It's the only searchable blown save of at least 1 inning while striking out all batters faced.
- NatsLady - Jul 12, 2012 at 11:48 PM
Also:Washington ranks 7th in MLB in extra-base hits — but they're they only team that's had one in every game so far. Their 87-game streak (starting last year) is the longest of the past 3 seasons.Best Quality Start Percentage (min. 12 GS): NL – Ryan Vogelsong 15/16; Jordan Zimmermann 15/17. AL – Jake Peavy 14/17; Jered Weaver 12/15.
- Section 109 DC - Jul 12, 2012 at 11:54 PM
I think one of the reasons the Nats are doing so well this season is that Rizzo succeeded in stocking us up with "character guys" and a character manager. The front office plans to show the same kind of character in exercising proper concern for Strasburg's health and future.
- Firm Possession, My Gorsehacken Sofa - Jul 12, 2012 at 11:54 PM
Last season Jordan Zimmermann had a 2.61 ERA on July 15. In his last seven starts, his ERA was 4.47.I think [with Strasburg] we're seeing a repeat of Zimmermann's season last year.Yes, and … Zimmermann didn't blow the cap on his radiator. That stuff takes it out of you.
- peric - Jul 13, 2012 at 12:13 AM
Another reason for Rizzo to come up with a way to add a 4th young guy sooner rather than later …Guarantees Stras a decent shot at it next year. I don't think Meyer, Purke, or Solis will be ready until 2014. Maybe all three will be there. Karns might be ready sometime in the middle of next year.

- stublues33 - Jul 13, 2012 at 12:43 AM
At 6 innings per start, SS makes it until September. This leaves 5 starts open for his slot; all after the rosters expand to 40 player limit. Johnson could combine Lannan, Maya, & Zach Duke for that spot, pinch-hitting each itme the pitcher's spot came up. The other 4 pitchers would stay on their regular rotation, and Washington would gain the advantage of 3 at bats per game. Just an idle thought on a night without baseball.

If they shut him down as a pitcher will he still be available to pinch hit? Do we know what his best fielding position is? I am assuming Stras bats fourth and DHs in games 3 and 4 of the WS.

GLENDALE, Ariz. | Confirming he turned down a one-year contract extension in October, Robin Ventura on Wednesday said he prefers to focus on the two years remaining on his deal as White Sox manager.
Ventura, who is entering the second year of a three-year deal, said he will revisit his future when his contract is up.
"To Robin's credit, he was pretty clear in that he just wants to make sure he's truly the right guy when that time comes around," general manager Rick Hahn said. "His focus isn't on 2015 at this time, his focus is on now."
Ventura's mantra as manager during his first year was to have his team concentrate only on that day's game and nothing beyond that. It worked, helping the Sox occupy first place in the American League Central Division for 117 days. His short-term look into the future is how he wants to go about managing the Sox, too.
"It was flattering and nice and everything but in talking to Rick, we have two more years to do this," Ventura said. "This is my contract and I was the same way as a player. I'll worry about it at the end of it. In two years, I want them to think I'm the right guy for the job."
While turning down the offer raised questions about Ventura's desire to manage long-term, Ventura downplayed it.
"It wasn't anything that was a big deal," he said. "I'm not holding out for anything or disappointed or not wanting to stay here. Again, at the end of that is when you talk about it. I'm not worried about trying to extend anything right now. I'm worried more about this team in spring training now than 2015."
Ventura was a surprise hire by chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and then-general manager Kenny Williams after the 2011 season, Ozzie Guillen's last as manager. Ventura had no managing experience at any level, but he led the Sox to an 85-win season, good for second place as the Detroit Tigers charged past them into first place during the last two weeks.
Players praised Ventura for his calming influence and for helping players like Adam Dunn and Alex Rios have successful seasons after poor performances in 2011. Pitcher Jake Peavy said Ventura can't be any better from a player-relationship standpoint, but he said it's safe to say Ventura stands to improve managing a game with a year of experience under his belt.
Ventura would agree.
"Any time you think you know it all or are done learning, you're going backward," Ventura said. "Hopefully I'm getting better with in-game stuff, in-between game stuff and even after-game stuff. I'm excited to do what I do. I love it."
While Hahn might have been surprised by Ventura's decision, he said the desire to put an extension on hold is "a testament to how special he is with his approach to this position and the job at hand."
"My hope is that Robin is here for a long, long time," Hahn said. "You can't foresee the future, but I suspect when the time comes that there is a new manager it's that Robin decided personally he's not wanting to continue or he's not the right guy or the best guy to lead the White Sox at that time. My hope is that's far into the future."
Ventura stopped short of saying he views himself as a managerial "lifer," but said it's possible he might do it for a long time. He's just in no rush to decide that now.

Daugaard: Spring cleaning for state government
As the weather warms and snow shoveling becomes lawn mowing, many South Dakotans take on spring cleaning projects to ready their homes for the busy, social summer months.In the past two and a half years, your state government has attempted a spring cleaning of its own. Starting in April, your state agencies pore through statutes and administrative rules looking for unnecessary or confusing laws that can be 'cleaned up.'I am pleased to report that the efforts have been successful. To date, we have identified more than 800 sections of code totaling more than 81,000 words that can be removed or simplified in our codified statutes. In many cases, the sections were unnecessary and served only to clutter our law books.Further, our state agencies identified more than 1,300 administrative rules that could be eliminated. This reduction in administrative rules will make it easier for businesses and citizens to navigate the rules that surround our laws. In total, nearly 170,000 words were stricken from our state government administrative rules. Leading our 'spring cleaning' effort have been the departments of Environment and Natural Resources, Revenue, Human Services and Social Services. Those state agencies, among many others, should be commended for their strong work in reducing red tape and simplifying the laws that govern all South Dakotans.Too often, lawmakers and governments feel that they are only productive if they create new laws. They feel that effectiveness is measured by bills passed or programs created. This should not be the case. Good stewards of state government realize that often the best thing government can do is get out of the way.It is my goal that our statutes be arranged so that any person in South Dakota can find and understand the laws that govern them. It is a necessary component of a healthy and transparent government.While I am Governor, we will continue our annual spring cleaning of laws and rules in South Dakota.

Oh no! This color / product currently out of stock. Order now to schedule building your bag. Ship dates may vary up to 7-10 days.
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
This Large Aviator Kit Bag is used by our local firemen here in Billings, Montana as a "turnout bag" and they love it! It'll easily hold a turn-out coat, rubber pants, rigid helmet, rubber boots, and miscellaneous equipment like safety lamp, gloves and flashlight. Members of the Red Oxx crew like to store their snowboard and ski gear (minus the board or skis) during the off season. It will easily pack a ski jacket, winter snow pants or bibs, snowboard boots or ski boots, helmet, gloves, backpack, goggles, winter underwear, a camelback and more! The Large Aviator Kit Bab makes a great storage and transfer bag for all kinds of sporting and hunting gear. Keep in mind it does not come with a shoulder strap so heavier belongings would be better served using a Sherpa Jr. or Big Oxx Expedition bag.
The Aviator line of storage and carry gear bags were developed for the budget minded. Featuring the same sturdy materials, like 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon fabric and heavy-duty hardware, as our regular Red Oxx bags, the Aviators are simplicity by design. They don't have a shoulder strap or the D-ring attachments because the "break-over" zip-open design does not condone itself with using a strap. Nor do they have any pockets or padding. Just a good old basic cavernous hand carried bag to serve basic simple needs without the extravagance or expense.
Even in the budget Aviator line, Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, because they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Our Large Aviator bag measures over two feet long, 15 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. The 3/4 wrap-around "break-over" #10 YKK heavy duty zipper configuration opens up the bag nearly flat. Imagine plenty of room to "step in and dress." Enveloping 1.5" wide webbing handle wraps all the way around the bottom of the bag. It's also double box stitched to the bag. No tearing here, ever. Available in Black only.
The Red Oxx Large Aviator Bag, built to the same heavy-duty exacting standards as all our bags.
Dimensions: 27"L x 15"W x 14"H Capacity: 5,670 cu. inches Weight: 2.1 pounds

Could someone explain/give a hint as to why there is such a dramatic fps boost from the 2.6.39 to 3.0 kernel for some games?
Phoronix: Linux 3.2 Kernel Benchmarks
Following last week's release of the Linux 3.2 kernel, here is a round-up of Linux 3.2 kernel benchmarks. Also included are a new set of kernel benchmarks comparing the 3.2 kernel to older releases while running Intel's blazing fast Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition CPU.
Could someone explain/give a hint as to why there is such a dramatic fps boost from the 2.6.39 to 3.0 kernel for some games?
It's will or without bigalloc of ext4 (cluster mode)? Because it's important feature, mainly on ssd.
The benchmark pages says
Is there any reason for not using the up-to-date kernels like 3.0.16/3.1.8 or is that just some weird Ubuntu naming scheme?
I think it's more likely he took those versions from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Those are vanilla + basic ubuntu patches, afaik. Hence EoD_'s questions stands.
I benchmarked my system with this benchmark and it seems to be much faster in some tests? http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...EGON-120106668
My system runs at 4.4GHz so they should be pretty similar. Could it be that everything is compiled with march=native that makes such a difference?
In this tests I would like to see Radeon vs Catalyst video drivers benchmark too
And a MS WOS - MicroSoft Windows Operating System - test to compare. Also BSD or others can be good.
As well if it where Nvidia their nv and blobs compared and MS WOS performance.
Linux vs MS WOS performance in opengl games is an issue that when Linux will beat MS WOS will increase opengl gamers Linux users.
And i would like to see the evolution or not of this benchmarks ans if Nvidia or ATI are evolving their blobs better and also if radeon and nv drivers - and even intel ones - are improving or not.
And even better if at the bencmarks we can find MS WOS XP and MS WOS 7
And far better idf there are a state of the art machine and the cheaper you can find today.
Perhaps the differences are bigger with cheaper hardware, that has more market share.
As i published today when friends ask me what new laptop to buy I say Intall Ubuntu, it is free and it will be faster - except for games -, but you do not play at your laptop, do you?

It is my sad duty to report to you that the Special Olympics movement lost one of its most loyal and dedicated volunteers this week, Jimmy Carnes. Jimmy died on Saturday March 5 after a long battle with cancer. His wonderful wife, Nanette, and many of his 14 children, grandchildren, step grandchildren and great grandchildren were at his side. He was 76 years young.
Jimmy Carnes, longtime member of the Special Olympics International Board of Directors.
Jimmy Carnes was a great man. I was so fortunate to have known him. A kindred spirit in his love and knowledge of track but he went so far beyond that. He was passionate about Special Olympics and some of the great moments for me were those working with him, Stacy, Lee and Asa on trips to Nagano,Reno,Sarajevo,Cleveland, Athens and so many more. He was a great ambassador for the movement with a Southern presence and grace that brought power to his words. I believe that his contribution to Special Olympics was often underestimated.
--Ossie Kelkenny, International Entrepreneur and member of the Special Olympics International Board of Directors
It is impossible to capture Jimmy's contributions to our movement. He was nominated twice to serve on the International Board of Directors and completed 12 years of service in his first stint (before term limits!), and nine years of service from 1997-2008. He brought a rich knowledge of the sport of track and field, long experience in site selection for major events, a love of the power of sport to shape a fulfilling life, and most importantly, a deep belief in the importance of Special Olympics to make a difference around the world. At various points in his career, he was the Head Track Coach of the University of Florida, the National Chairman of AAU Men's Track and Field, the founder of the Sunshine State Games, and the head coach of the 1980 US Olympic track and field team.
Jimmy was a native of Eatonton, Georgia but he was at home all over the world where he carried the message of Special Olympics as Chair of the Sports Committee of the International Board. In that capacity, he led our efforts to globalize our world and regional games travelling to China, Morocco, Bosnia, Greece, Japan and more. He was a tough negotiator but a compassionate friend—always encouraging cities and nations to join our movement, but equally insisting on the highest standards of excellence for our athletes. He was a friend to so many of us but in a special way to his colleagues in site selection who were his global team. We travelled with him, laughed with him, worked with him, and ultimately admired him deeply. His smile was as infectious as his Southern warmth. He lifted us all.
I spoke this morning to Nanette, his wife of 55 years. Her message was simple: Jimmy was so grateful for the opportunity to serve the athletes of Special Olympics. I wasn't surprised by these words of humility but they were a powerful reminder of how lucky we all were to have had such a man among us for so many years.
I know you all join me in sending our prayers and sympathy to Nanette and all the Carnes family.
All my best,
Tim Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics International
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.
Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

Basic Information
Name : Minato Namikaze 波風ミナト
Nickname : Child of the Prophecy 予言の子 | Konoha's Yellow Flash 木ノ葉の黄色い閃光
Gender : Male
Age : 20's
Clan : n/a
✘ Appearance :
Minato was a fairly tall, fair-skinned man who on more than one occasion has been compared with Naruto in terms of physical appearance; both have bright blue-eyes and spiky blond hair. Unlike Naruto, Minato had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. According to Jiraiya, Minato was considered to be very handsome, as many women were infatuated with him. His normal attire consisted of a standard Konoha-nin uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a flak jacket and a forehead protector; after becoming Hokage, he started wearing a short-sleeved long white coat over his normal attire, decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage) written vertically down the back, and closed on the front by a thin orange rope. In his youth, he wore a tracksuit with three stripes on the sleeves, mesh undershirt, dark trousers and dark calf-length sandals.
✘ Personality :
Jiraiya and Tsunade pointed out that, while Naruto physically bears great resemblance to Minato, his personality is almost identical to his mother. While Naruto is boisterous and relatively thick, Minato was calm, collected, and highly perceptive. He also seemed well aware of the terror his reputation inspired in his foes. He appeared to be respectful of those around him; he didn't like freely speaking about others' pasts, and was said to be a very nice person. He deeply cared for and loved his wife and child, becoming very nervous because of Kushina's pain during labour and even shedding tears of joy at his son's birth. He also enjoyed reading, and took a special liking to reading Jiraiya's work in particular.
Jiraiya said that Minato was a shrewd person, and was not a man who would do something without reason. He was very knowledgeable of the ninja world, concluding that only Madara Uchiha would have the power or the reason to have the Nine-Tails attack Konoha during their fight. Minato was known for his unbeatable determination and unbelievable drive, which he passed on to his son. In his youth, Minato also had a desire to be acknowledged by everyone in the village and to become a great Hokage, again, a trait passed onto his son. His devotion to the village and his love for his friends inspired all those around him, and, as a result, he became well-liked by the villagers.
Village Information
Village of Birth : Konohagakure 木ノ葉隠れの里
Village of Alliance : Konohagakure 木ノ葉隠れの里
Group Affiliation : The Makaosu 混沌
Rank | Chakra Information
Ninja Rank : Kage 影
✘ Specialty :
Space-Time Ninjutsu : Minato was famous for his unique space–time technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, which essentially allowed him to teleport to any location with the use of special seals. The technique earned him the moniker of Konoha's "Yellow Flash", due to the untraceable movements Minato had when using this technique. By throwing kunai that had the seal attached to them behind enemy lines, Minato could wipe out an entire platoon in the blink of an eye. Minato could teleport to his special kunai even as it travelled through the air. He was also capable of applying the seal to solid surfaces with his bare hand, allowing him to tag opponents and give himself an easy way to track and reach them. He also incorporated this seal formula into Kushina's seal so he could always come to her aid.
For defensive use, Minato was capable of implementing space–time barriers to counter large attacks such as a Tailed Beast Ball, sending the blast to a distant area away from the village. He was even able to teleport the Nine-Tails, albeit at the cost of a large portion of his chakra due to the beast's immense size.
Rasengan : Minato spent three years creating the Rasengan by observing the Tailed Beast Ball. It is the highest level of shape transformation and does not require hand signs to be performed. Instead using a concentration of spinning chakra in the form of a sphere in the user's palm, which inflicts immense damage to its target on contact. As its creator, Minato had great mastery over the Rasengan, able to form it with one hand and his standard version being slightly larger than the Rasengan used by other characters. The lack of elaborate preparations needed for the Rasengan gave Minato an advantage over other technique users in battle; in his fight with Tobi, he is able to form a Rasengan right after throwing a marked kunai at his opponent, allowing him to land a devastating blow at Tobi immediately after performing the Flying Thunder God Technique. He had intended to combine the Rasengan with his own nature transformation, but the task was too difficult to complete
Futon : With Minato's mastery of the Wind Release, he's able to perform any Wind Release technique with the usage of a single handseal, even the most complex Wind Release techniques.

Background Information
✘ History :
When Minato was in the Academy, his class-mate and future wife Kushina Uzumaki thought he looked "flaky" and even "girly". He dreamed of being acknowledged by the Konoha villagers by becoming Hokage, which Kushina considered to be an impossible dream for someone like him. Years later however, when Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure ninja, Minato was the only one to pick up on the fact that she was leaving behind strands of her red hair to mark their path. After rescuing her, Minato explained that he had always admired her hair. No longer seeing him as "flaky", she fell in love with him.
According to those who knew him, Minato was a very talented ninja prodigy - a rare genius that appeared only once a generation. He graduated from the Academy at the age of ten, and was added to a genin team under the tutelage of Jiraiya. Jiraiya took a special interest in Minato, and accepted him as an apprentice, amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. Jiraiya even believed Minato might be the Child of the Prophecy, someone who would someday save the world.
In time, Minato was put in charge of a genin team of his own, consisting of Rin, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato led his team on a mission into Kusagakure to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. Because Kakashi had recently become a jōnin, Minato gave leadership of the mission to Kakashi while he went to help Konoha's forces on the front lines. After meeting up with the surviving and out-numbered Konoha ninja, Minato used his Flying Thunder God Technique to destroy the opposing Iwagakure ninja. He then returned to his team, just in time to save Kakashi and Rin from another group of Iwa forces; he was too late to save Obito. When Kakashi and Rin recovered from the ordeal, Minato helped them complete the mission.
At some point, he clashed with A multiple times. At their first meeting he recognised A's brother Killer B as the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Upon receiving the signal that Konoha was retreating, he declared that they would later face each other to put the title of Kage on the line and also offered A the advice of making sure his brother knew who he was before he became neither human nor jinchūriki.
When the war ended, Minato, not yet thirty years of age, was chosen to become the Fourth Hokage. At some point during his reign he read Jiraiya's first book. He liked the main character's determination, believing he was just like Jiraiya. Since Kushina was pregnant with their son, Minato informed Jiraiya that they planned to name their son "Naruto" in the hopes that he would be just like the main character and, in turn, Jiraiya. Jiraiya warned them that this would make him Naruto's godfather, but they insisted that this was a good thing.
Because Kushina was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, special arrangements had to be made for Naruto's birth. Since the seal keeping the Nine-Tails within her would weaken during childbirth, Naruto would secretly be delivered in a remote location outside Konoha. ANBU would guard the area and Minato would maintain the seal while Kushina went into labour. Soon after Naruto was born they were found by Tobi. Tobi killed all of the ANBU and took Naruto hostage, threatening to do the same to him. Minato was able to take Naruto back, but this gave Tobi the chance to escape with Kushina. Minato found a safe place to put Naruto and then teleported to Kushina. He arrived in time to stop the Nine-Tails, having been removed from her body, from killing her, and teleported back to Naruto. Minato reunited mother and son and then went to help defend Konoha from the Nine-Tails.
Minato arrived in the early stages of the Nine-Tails' attack. After protecting the village from its Tailed Beast Ball, Minato tried to reach the Third Hokage to inform him of what had happened. He was stopped by Tobi, who tried to send him away. Minato escaped but was followed by Tobi. When the two began fighting, Minato struggled to hit Tobi, Tobi being intangible whenever he was not currently attacking. By carefully timing his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was able to strike him during one of these rare moments and apply a seal for the Flying Thunder God Technique to him, allowing him to teleport to Tobi whenever he wanted. He placed a Contract Seal on Tobi to remove the Nine-Tails from his control, forcing Tobi to flee.

Applying REAL.BIG. Fathead decals that require the rub on transfer application requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, they are not movable or reusable so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the buttons below:
