We aim to provide a 10/5 service which means 10 mbps download and 5 mbps upload (mbps is megabits per second). We have no limit on the number of devices you can connect. For people who like techy details, we use Access Points that support "802.11ac" which is the latest WiFi technology in newer smartphones, tablets and laptops. It's also fully compatible with older devices.
Our free service covers all cabins and also the public areas on the 4th Floor including the meeting rooms and Terrace. The ground floor area is also covered. Just connect your device and a prompt will pop up.
How do I check-in at the hotel?
We have 6 self-service kiosks on the ground floor. All you need to do is touch the screen and enter a few basic details and the kiosk will give you a plastic key card which you tap against your door lock to open the door. If you need extra help or have questions, just go to Mission Control on 4th Floor and the crew members there will be happy to help you.
What are Pedicabs and what should you know before hopping in one?
A pedicab also known as a "bicycle rickshaw", is a tricycle shuttle service or taxi powered by a bicycle rider. They usually accommodate up to 3 people and can take you from point A to point B. Traffic in NYC can get quite busy and typically, pedicabs can avoid much of the traffic. It's also a great green alternative to a taxi. We do suggest you speak with your driver on the exact price to include gratuity before hoping in to avoid any miscommunications. Prices tend to be much higher and the drivers usually expect a tip. They can reduce time waiting for a taxi but are not necessarily the most comfortable way to travel, prepare for a little bumpiness!
How do I check-out at the hotel?
Go to one of the 6 self-service kiosks on the ground floor and enter your key card and the system will list your itemised invoice and will give you a paper copy to take away. If you need extra help or have questions, just go to Mission Control on 4th Floor and the crew members there will be happy to help you.
We do not offer a free shuttle/taxi service from local airports. Both JFK and EWR airports have standard fees into Manhattan for taxis, plus toll charges and tips.
How do I get to YOTEL New York?
For a detailed guide on how to get to and from YOTEL New York from the major airports download our transport brochure here.
The nearest metro/tube to YOTEL is the Times Square – 42nd Street / Port Authority Bus Terminal which is two blocks east of YOTEL on 42nd Street. It is a subway station complex located under Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, at the intersection of 42nd Street, Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and Broadway in Midtown Manhattan. The A,C,E lines go through there.
New York State and City impose taxes on all hotels. The City & State taxes amount to 14.75% of the final bill. The City also imposes a hotel occupancy fee of $2 per night (not linked to number of guests per room), plus a $1.50 "Javits fee". The Javits fee covers development of Manhattan's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Sorry, but we have no choice but to collect these taxes.

Another thing that the Government have done is to move towards localising business rates again. Certainly my part of the world, which had huge industrial sites such as the one I have mentioned, was pretty nonplussed when all that money was collected by a Government in the 1980s, taken to the centre and then doled out in different proportions.

Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical interface operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft.

The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2012; the most recent mobile version is Windows Phone 7.5.

ASU adds sand volleyball program for 2014
JUL 09, 2013 12:12p ET
Jason Watson, head coach of the indoor volleyball program since 2008, will also serve as head coach of the sand volleyball team.
Fifteen schools competed in sand volleyball in 2012, and 15 added the sport in 2013. When 40 institutions in Division I and II have sponsored varsity programs for one year, the NCAA will sponsor an NCAA Championship.
Arizona recently added a sand volleyball program, joining other Pac-12 programs at California, Stanford, USC and UCLA.
Sand volleyball teams are required to play at least eight dates, with at least three dual matches. The maximum number of competitions is 16 dates.
Arizona was the first state to add sand volleyball as an officially sanctioned high school sport. The Arizona Interscholastic Association is expected to add eight to 32 teams this spring.
Sand volleyball consists of five matches between two-player teams. Each match accounts for one point in team scoring, with the winning team needing to win at least three matches.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
One of the absolute best add-ons, in my opinion. Super simple, intuitive and useful. I often forget it's an add-on, and not just a FF feature, until I'm on someone else's computer, or using another browser to check a website's compatibility, etc.
Useful for everything from research to checking out the latest funny picture your friend posted on Facebook.

Learn all about the history of our organisation, right from the time of the French Revolution through to the present day.
Since the 1700s Britain's landscape has changed beyond recognition; and we've changed too. Our video captures our story over the years, showing just how much we've evolved...
England was squeezed between rebellion in Scotland and war with France when King George II commissioned a military survey of the Scottish highlands in 1746. The job fell to William Roy, a far-sighted young engineer who understood the strategic importance of accurate maps, yet his vision of a national military survey wasn't implemented until after his death in 1790.
By then Europe was in turmoil, and there were real fears that the French Revolution might sweep across the English Channel. Realising the danger, the government ordered its defence ministry – the Board of Ordnance – to begin a survey of England's vulnerable southern coasts.
Military mapping
In June 1791, the Board purchased a huge new Ramsden theodolite, and surveyors began mapping southern Britain from a baseline that Roy himself had measured several years earlier.
The first one-inch map of Kent was published in 1801, and a similar map of Essex followed – just as Nelson's victory at Trafalgar made invasion less likely!
Within twenty years about a third of England and Wales had been mapped at the one-inch scale. If that seems slow in these days of aerial surveys and global positioning, spare a thought for Major Thomas Colby – later Ordnance Survey's longest serving Director General – who walked 586 miles in 22 days on a reconnaissance in 1819.
A taxing business
In 1824, Parliament ordered Colby and most of his staff to Ireland, to produce a detailed six inch to the mile valuation survey.
Colby designed specialist measuring equipment, established systematic collection of place names, and reorganised the map-making process to produce clear, accurate plans. But Colby the perfectionist also travelled with his men, helped to build camps, and arranged mountain-top feasts with huge plum puddings at the end of each surveying season.
Soon after the first Irish maps began to appear in the mid-1830s, the demands of the Tithe Commutation Act provoked calls for similar six-inch surveys in England and Wales. The government prevaricated but, by then, there was a new power in the land.
Driven by steam
This was the era of railway mania and if the one-inch map was unsuitable for calculating tithes, it was virtually useless for the new breed of railway engineers. To make matters worse, mapping of England and Scotland remained incomplete and, in 1840, the Treasury agreed that the remaining areas should be surveyed at the six-inch scale.
Now, surveyors needed greater access than ever before; and so, in 1841, the Ordnance Survey Act gave them a legal right to 'enter into and upon any land' for survey purposes.
London's burning!
A few months later Ordnance Survey's cramped Tower of London offices were at the centre of a national catastrophe when fire swept through the Grand Storehouse, threatening to engulf the Crown Jewels in the Martin Tower. Miraculously, the Jewels were saved, and most of Ordnance Survey's records and instruments were also carried to safety. But the blaze highlighted the Survey's desperate need for more office space, and prompted a move to Southampton.
The scene was now set for two decades of wrangling over scales. Throughout this period, Victorian reforming zeal was creating an acute need for accurate mapping. The issue was settled piecemeal until, by 1863, scales of six inches and twenty-five inches to the mile had been approved for mountain and moorland, and rural areas respectively. The one-inch map was retained, and detailed plans at as much as ten feet to the mile were introduced for built-up areas.
A new technology
By now, Major-General Sir Henry James – perhaps Ordnance Survey's most eccentric and egotistical Director General – was midway through his twenty-one year term. James quickly saw how maps could be cheaply and quickly enlarged or reduced using the new science of photography, and he designed an elaborate glass studio at Southampton for processing photographic plates.
James planted his name on everything he touched, and later claimed to have invented photozincography, a photographic method of producing printing plates. In fact, the process had been developed by two of his staff.
War and peace
Surveying during World War One
By 1895 the twenty-five inch survey was complete. The twentieth century brought cyclists and motorists swarming onto the roads, and the new Director General, Colonel Charles Close, prepared to exploit this expanding leisure market. But by now, the tide of history was sweeping Ordnance Survey back to its roots.
As Britain entered the First World War, surveyors, draughtsmen and printers from Ordnance Survey were posted overseas. Working in appalling conditions alongside the troops, surveyors plotted the lines of trenches and, for the first time, aerial photography was used to capture survey information.
Printing maps during World War One
After the war, Sir Charles, as he now was, returned to his marketing strategy and appointed a professional artist to produce eye-catching covers for the one-inch maps. Ellis Martin's classic designs boosted sales to record levels, but the war had taken its toll; behind their bright new covers, the maps were increasingly out of date.
A landmark review
In an uncanny echo of the mid-nineteenth century, a whole raft of new legislation brought demands for accurate, up-to-date mapping. Matters came to a head in 1935, and the Davidson Committee was established to review Ordnance Survey's future. That same year, a far-sighted new Director General, Major-General Malcolm MacLeod, launched the retriangulation of Great Britain.
Surveyors began an Olympian task, building the now familiar concrete triangulation pillars on remote hilltops throughout Britain. Deep foundations were dug by hand, and staff dragged heavy loads of materials over isolated terrain by lorry, packhorse and sheer brute force.
The Davidson Committee's final report set Ordnance Survey on course for the 21st century. The National Grid reference system was introduced, using the metre as its measurement. An experimental new 1:25,000 scale map was launched, leaving only the one-inch unscathed. It was almost forty years before this popular map was superseded by the 1:50,000 scale series, first proposed by William Roy more than two centuries earlier.
Bombed out!
In 1939, war intervened once again. The Royal Artillery was now responsible for its own field surveys, but over a third of Ordnance Survey's civilian staff were called up, and its printing presses were kept busy with war production.
It wasn't a soft option. Enemy bombing devastated Southampton in November 1940 and destroyed most of Ordnance Survey's city centre offices. Staff were dispersed to other buildings, and to temporary accommodation at Chessington.
Ordnance Survey and military units – British, Canadian and American – were directed to produce new maps of Europe, as well as revise old ones.
In the event of a major war, it was always assumed that Ordnance Survey would limit its civilian activities and concentrate on military work. The military appetite remained insatiable - the Normandy landings alone devoured 120 million maps!
Coming home
After the war, Ordnance Survey returned to Davidson's agenda; the retriangulation was completed, and metric maps began to appear along National Grid sheet lines. Aerial survey helped speed up the new continuous revision strategy, and up-to-date drawing and printing techniques were introduced.
But the organisation was still fragmented, scattered across southern England in a battered collection of worn-out buildings. All that changed in 1969, when Ordnance Survey moved to a purpose-built head office on the outskirts of Southampton, on Romsey Road. Four years later, the first computerised large-scale maps appeared; the digital age had begun.
Technology advances brought about by the advent of the computer were not the only changes in this period as changes in status gradually saw the organisation become progressively market led. In 1974 the position of Ordnance Survey Director General became a civilian post, and in 1983 it became a wholly civilian organisation, with a further change in status in 1999 when the agency became a government trading fund.
Ordnance Survey digitised the last of some 230,000 maps in 1995, making Britain the first country in the world to complete a programme of large-scale electronic mapping. Computers have transformed the map-making process, and electronic data is now routinely available to customers within 24 hours of being surveyed.
In 2001, the agency launched yet another innovation. A multi-million pound project established a seamless information base which underpins a new generation of detailed data called OS MasterMap. This intelligent geospatial database makes it even easier for other people's information to be integrated in to it, held as separate layers, or linked to Ordnance Survey mapping. Data from OS MasterMap® offers definitive, consistent and maintained referencing to more than 440 million man-made and natural landscape features in Britain. In addition to topographic mapping, other layers of information have been added progressively to OS MasterMap®, such as aerial photographic images which precisely match the mapping; data providing the addresses of all properties; and integrated transport information.
Today – and the future
Our present head office is just off the M271, following another move in 2010.
At OS we've changed from a centuries-old venerable mapping company into a big data powerhouse. Our location data – or geographic information (GI) – has weaved itself into the very fabric of everyday life, right across Great Britain. While the public still knows us for our comprehensive range of printed leisure maps, the digital side of the business accounts for more than 80% of turnover.
The public and private sectors benefit from accurate information about 'location' and a world-leading reliable geographic framework helps deliver effective and efficient services.
The majority of information collected in Britain has some geographic feature – from the location of people, buildings and postcodes to administrative boundaries and flood risk areas. The potential to help make businesses more profitable and efficient through linking and analysing different sets of information is enormous.
Major investments have been made to help us collect and maintain richer data. This is achieved today through field surveyors, global navigation satellite systems, remote sensing and a range of advanced geographical information systems (GIS) tools and software.
All 243,241 square kilometres of Great Britain are surveyed and up to 10,000 changes are put into the database daily.
The company vision is that we at OS, and our partners, reveal our ever-changing landscape in extraordinary detail, giving the most comprehensive view of Britain.
With effect from 1 April 2015 we have operated as a Government owned limited company, the entire issued share capital of which is held by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).

VERDI: Aida
A luminous blue backdrop, sliding columns, a solitary iconic prop (an over-sized falcon head in the opening scene, for example), singers frozen in stiff, awkward poses — yes, it's a Robert Wilson spectacular!
As the editor of Opera magazine, John Allison, notes in his editorial in the June issue, Donizetti fans are currently spoilt for choice, enjoying a 'Donizetti revival' with productions of several of the composer's lesser known works cropping up in houses around the world.
Philippe Jaroussky lends poetry and poise to the sounds of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France
Carolyn Sampson has long avoided the harsh glare of stardom but become a favourite singer for "those in the know" — and if you are not one of those it is about time you were.
This Winterreise is the final instalment of Matthias Goerne's series of Schubert lieder for Harmonia Mundi and it brings the Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition, begun in 2008, to a dark, harrowing close.
This elegant, smartly-paced film turns Gluck's Orfeo into a Dostoevskian study of a guilt-wracked misanthrope, portrayed by American countertenor Bejun Mehta.
We see the characters first in two boxes at an opera house. The five singers share a box and stare at the stage. But Konstanze's eye is caught by a man in a box opposite: Bassa Selim (actor Tobias Moretti), who stares steadily at her and broods in voiceover at having lost her, his inspiration.
Richard Strauss may be most closely associated with the soprano voice but this recording of a selection of the composer's lieder by baritone Thomas Hampson is a welcome reminder that the rapt lyricism of Strauss's settings can be rendered with equal beauty and character by the low male voice.
Bernarda Fink's recording of Gustav Mahler's Lieder is an important new release that includes outstanding performances of the composer's well-known songs, along with compelling readings of some less-familiar ones.
Das Rheingold launches what is perhaps the single most ambitious project in opera, Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
This live performance of Laurent Pelly's Glyndebourne staging of Humperdinck's affectionately regarded fairy tale opera, was recorded at Glyndebourne Opera House in July and August 2010, and the handsomely produced disc set — the discs are presented in a hard-backed, glossy-leaved book and supplemented by numerous production photographs and an informative article by Julian Johnson — is certainly stylish and unquestionably recommendable.
Recorded at a live performance in 2012, this CD brings together an eclectic selection of turn-of-the-century orchestral songs and affirms the extraordinary versatility, musicianship and technical accomplishment of mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená.
Once I was: Songs by Ricky Ian Gordon features an assortment of songs by Ricky Ian Gordon interpreted by soprano Stacey Tappan, a longtime friend of the composer since their work on his opera Morning Star at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Alfredo Kraus, one of the most astute artists in operatic history in terms of careful management of technique and vocal resources, once said in an interview that 'you have to make a choice when you start to sing and decide whether you want to service the music, and be at the top of your art, or if you want to be a very popular tenor.'
In generations past, an important singer's first recording of Italian arias would almost invariably have included the music of Verdi.
With celebrations of the Verdi Bicentennial in full swing, there have been many grumblings about the precarious state of Verdi singing in the world's major opera houses today.
In the thirty-five years immediately following its American première at the Metropolitan Opera in 1914, Italo Montemezzi's 'Tragic Poem in Three Acts' L'amore dei tre re was performed in New York on sixty-six occasions.
Few operas inspire the kind of competing affection and controversy that have surrounded Mozart's Così fan tutte almost since its first performance in Vienna in 1790.
During his career in film, opera, and operetta, Richard Tauber (1891 - 1948) enjoyed the sort of global fame that eludes all but the tiniest handful of 'serious' singers today.
Known principally for its two concert show-pieces for the leading lady, the success of Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur relies upon finding a soprano willing to take on, and able to pull off, the eponymous role.
It would be condescending and perhaps even offensive to suggest that singing traditional Spirituals is a rite a passage for artists of color, but the musical heritage of the United States has been greatly enriched by the performances and recordings of Spirituals by important artists such as Paul Robeson, Marian Anderson, Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett, Grace Bumbry, Jessye Norman, Barbara Hendricks, Florence Quivar, Kathleen Battle, Harolyn Blackwell, and Denyce Graves.
A luminous blue backdrop, sliding columns, a solitary iconic prop (an over-sized falcon head in the opening scene, for example), singers frozen in stiff, awkward poses — yes, it's a Robert Wilson spectacular!
Traditional productions of Aida can become so encumbered with faux-Egyptian bric-brac and gaudy pageantry that the human heart of the story lies smothered underneath. For some, then, Wilson's approach cleanses the time-worn body of Verdi's masterpiece. For others, the bathwater may not be missed - but where's the baby?
OpusArte's DVD release of Wilson's Aida production at La Monnaie-De Munt from October 2004 will not be likely to add further converts to the store of Wilson fans. For whatever reason, the performers seem to be a rehearsal or two away from full comfort (if such is possible) with Wilsons' style. The close-up perspectives provided by the cameras reveal awkward countenances of forced concentration, as the singers try to remember at what uncomfortable angle their arms should should fold into next, or when to indicate a higher pitch of passion by twirling once. Wilson can be counted on to create at least a few moments of austere beauty, and those occur here too. But too often the blue pallor of the lighting suggests an Aida drained of its life-blood.
No fault for this lies with conductor Kazushi Ono, who guides the Monnaie forces through a lucid, detailed reading. In fact, the sheer energy and vitality of Verdi's score forces Wilson to actually allowing his singer/actors some more natural movement at times, with Ildiko Komlosi in particular taking the opportunity to unlock herself from a contorted pose and express Amneris's growing rage and frustration. As Amonasro, Mark Doss also manages to sing with such force (if not beauty) that he seems to have wandered in from a different production - at least until the ludicrous staging of the end of act three, when instead of fleeing he must follow the director's wishes and "glide" off the stage as the priest's guards stand immobile.
The best of the show comes at the end, in a scene often clumsy to stage in a traditional production. Radames and Aida do not find themselves in an actual tomb, but on a darkened stage, with eerie blue lights on their faces. This haunting spectral image serves as potent reminder of the latent power of an effective Wilson production - which most of the rest of this Aida does not.
Not helping matters, the three leads' singing fails to add any substantial insight or beauty to the proceedings. Norma Fantini stretches to encompass the demands of the title role, and the effort is felt too often. Marco Berti has a large, handsome voice, but one lacking true character. Not known as an actor in any staging, Berti's work here indicates that Wilson still needs some sort of vocal characterization to accompany his uniform approach to acting. Komlosi has the passion, as described above; the voice itself comes across as slightly worn and edgy.
Among the many other DVD versions of Aida, two especially come to mind as "antidotes," if you will, to the Wilson style. Franco Zefferelli leads a cast of very young singers in an intimate production from Verdi's hometown theater of Busetto. And from the 1980s in Verona comes a high-calorie staging, with a strong cast relishing the chance to eat into every square inch of granite scenery. Only the most confirmed Wilson devotees will find much to enjoy in this Monnaie version, however.

Customer reviews
By Kimberly Roy 27 Jun 2012
Back in April one of the ladies in my favourite Goodreads group read this book and highly recommended it to the rest of us and since I'm already a huge fan of Ellen (who isn't?!) I immediately put it on hold and read it the same day I got it from the library.
The book is everything I expected it to be; entertaining! I honestly think there was a smile on my face the whole time I read this book she's just that funny. At the time I was reading it I had been in a bit of a grumpy mood so I figured why not remedy that with a little does of Ellen? She always cheers me up and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. I went to be that night feeling a lot better. I suppose people are right sometimes when they say that laughter is the best medicine.
I loved how she approached this book in typical Ellen fashion. She didn't take herself to seriously and without ego which I absolutely love about her. She's candid and open about her life and she comes across as wacky as she does on her show. I love how she took the time to catch the readers up on her life since her previous book was published.
I would without a doubt have no problem recommending this to anybody and if you're a fan of Ellen's or are looking for a great warm, light-hearted and funny read this might just be the book for you. She writes it in a way that will lift you up so don't read it if you're looking for a book that's deep because this is written in the essence that is Ellen.

Nice shoes and a great smile
I've been in Atlanta for over two years now. I'm always down for getting out and seeing the city. There's a lot of cool things going on from bars/restaurants, sporting events, concerts, comedy clubs, etc.. I have an infectious laugh and love having fun. I'm always taking on new challenges and working to become a better me. I took a new job with a start up last winter and have been working hard to help grow the business. I play hockey all year round and go on a ski trip every year, but I also love boating and the beach. My parents just brought down our old family ski boat, so I'm looking forward to getting out on the lake. Haha, hopefully I don't get lost on Lanier. My New Years resolutions were to get back into some intellectual reading and playing the saxophone. Thankfully, the year isn't over yet! I'm finishing up a book on non verbal communication. When I actually have time to read I'm normally reading football and baseball mags. I am getting the sax fixed up this month as well so I hope I don't get evicted when I start playing. I played growing up and received music scholarships in school so I'm expecting to get my chops back quickly. I am an uncle to three great kids. However my family is all back north in Michigan, so I get back to visit a few times a year. My long term plan is to stay in Atlanta though.

Does anyone know if the Fastpass system will run into the wee hours of the night on Feb 29th/Mar 1st? In theory would I be able to get a Fastpass at 2:00am with a return time of say 4:00am for example....
How has it worked on grad nights?
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."
-Mark Twain
I can confirm that Roger is back unlinked. Also, I was able to hold both Tower and Screamin passes at the same time. I think Screamin is the one that was unlinked.
I could see it going either way, with FP machines running all day and night for OMDD, or just no fastpass at all like most special events (ie Halloween Party).
I don't won't to give bad advice on another board, so can someone confirm that once a ticket enters one park it is validated in both for FP. Therefore one person can take them all from DL to DCA for WoC FPs, yes? Just making sure nothing has changed. Thanks.
A bientot.
RememberWhat the dormouse saidFeed your head!
You've read it; you can't unread it!
Merci, didn't want to give info that may have changed.
RememberWhat the dormouse saidFeed your head!
You've read it; you can't unread it!
Hi, thanks for the guide, it was extremely informative. I actually even got the opportunity to share some of the info I got on here with another guest last time I was at the park.
Anyway, I have a question about FPs regarding the bar codes and I'm not quite sure if it fits here. If not, I apologize. I understand the bar codes on FPs were established to discourage and minimize counterfeiting, so I hope my question doesn't come off as suspicious.
I was wondering if anyone knew how the bar codes work? I'm working on a small project and I wanted to know if each FP station/ride has a unique bar code designation, or if the bar codes are simply just sequentially generated through out the entire network. When CM scan the codes, do their scanners verify that the FP is being used at the appropriate location? If so, then there should be some sort of designation (maybe a starting number) in the code, right? I know it verifies the date and time, at least.
Thanks in advance; this would be a HUGE help. If you find this question inappropriate at all, please let me know and I'll promptly delete it and never mention it again.
Jason, the bar codes match the bar code found on the ticket or AP used to get the FP.
I have seen a CM visually confirm that the bar code on an "error" FP that said " you already have a valid FP for this attraction" matched a guest's ticket but did not match any of the other guests' FP bar codes. I guess she had lost hers but still had the "error" FP and he was using it to confirm she indeed had a valid FP before and that the error message wasn't from someone else in her party? So it comes in handy.
Any word on whether or not WDW FP time window enforcement is being done at DL as well?
Notice the new verbiage on the fastpasses in WDW:
Last edited by SanDiegoAl; 03-07-2012 at 12:27 PM.
No change to Disneyland Fastpass text; DL CM said enforcement... on Twitpic
Can someone please tell me which attractions at both DL and DCA are unlinked?
^If I am not mistaken, just Roger Rabbit. Its the only one in the whole resort.

Game 94: Brewers at Nats
Jul 18, 2014, 3:30 PM EDT
After four long days off, the baseball season resumes tonight, with the Nationals opening a brief, 3-game homestand against the Brewers before heading out on the road. Given the opportunity to reset his rotation over the All-Star break, Matt Williams decided to give the ball to Stephen Strasburg for the second-half opener. Strasburg will be…
State of the Nats: All-Star break
Jul 14, 2014, 12:00 PM EDT
Top storylines: All-Star Game – This week is the 2014 All-Star break, giving the Nationals four days off before they begin the final 2 1/2 months of the season. Despite sitting tied for first place at the moment, the Nationals will not be well-represented in Minnesota. None of their players will be in the Home Run Derby on…
Zimmerman delivers when Nats need it most
Jul 13, 2014, 12:45 AM EDT
PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Zimmerman has often talked about his ability to stay relaxed in critical moments at the plate, understanding that the pressure in those situations is not on himself but on the opposing pitcher. He's been able to thrive so many times with the game on the line, though, not only by taking pressure…

Jul 12, 2014, 11:18 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: A high-profile pitching matchup produced a low-scoring game, though neither Stephen Strasburg nor Cole Hamels would likely have called this one of their best outings of the season. Strasburg carried a shutout into the sixth but couldn't finish that inning after his pitch count skyrocketed to 117. Hamels, meanwhile, gave up…
Game 92: Nats at Phillies
Jul 12, 2014, 3:33 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA — While we await the update on Jordan Zimmermann's MRI, and debate his replacement on the All-Star roster, there is in fact another game taking place tonight at Citizens Bank Park. Featuring a star-studded pitching matchup: Stephen Strasburg vs. Cole Hamels. The Nationals will have Ian Desmond back in the lineup after he sat…

GAME IN A NUTSHELL: If the opener of this 4-game Battle of the Beltways is a sign of things to come, get ready for an entertaining, tense week of baseball between two very good teams in front of rabid fans supporting both clubs. A crowd of 35,126 decked out both in red and orange was…
Game 88: Orioles at Nats
Jul 7, 2014, 3:18 PM EDT
Hello and welcome to the opener of the Battle of the Beltways, the annual showdown between Washington and Baltimore that means very much to the fan bases of both clubs and, quite honestly, means very little to players on both sides. Much as we'd like to believe this is a real rivalry, the players just…
Nationals Stock Watch: Gio on the rebound?

We take a look at the Nationals' past week, at a glance: Record: 4-2 Team slash: .229/.304/.358 Team ERA: 3.43 Runs per game: 4.83 STOCK UP Gio Gonzalez, SP: 1-0 / 7.0 IP/ 0.00 ERA It might be too early to make any grand proclamations, but perhaps we're in the midst of witnessing a midseason rebound for Gonzalez. He…
Strasburg bounces back to dominate Rockies
Jul 2, 2014, 12:34 AM EDT
In the wake of one of the worst performances of his career, Stephen Strasburg mentioned a mechanical glitch he needed to fix, a small tweak he felt would lead to fewer pitches left over the heart of the plate. Just as important, though, may have been the mental adjustment Strasburg was able to make and…
Instant analysis: Nats 7, Rockies 1
Jul 1, 2014, 10:27 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: With the hubbub (and a dash of controversy) of Monday night behind them, the Nationals got down to business tonight and resumed the grind of the season with their healthy lineup still intact. On a sweltering night at the ballpark, they picked up right where they left off Monday, pounding the…
Game 83: Rockies at Nats
Jul 1, 2014, 3:24 PM EDT
Matt Williams could have made changes to his starting lineup tonight, choosing to move guys around the diamond as the Nationals manager has suggested he'll do now that he has a fully healthy roster again. Or Williams could look at last night's 7-3 thumping of the Rockies and conclude: Hey, if it ain't broke, don't…
State of the Nats: Harper set to return

Top storylines: Harper's return – It's been over two months since Bryce Harper last took the field with the Nationals, but his long recovery from a torn ligament in his left thumb is just about over. Barring something unforeseen, Harper is expected to be in the Nats' lineup to face the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. Harper…

Game 77: Nats at Brewers
Jun 25, 2014, 12:22 PM EDT
Just over 12 hours after the longest game in Nationals history was completed, the Nats will pick right back up in Milwaukee for the final game of their series with the Brewers. Stephen Strasburg (6-5, 3.24) will take the mound in a 2:10 p.m. start, as the Nationals look for the three-game sweep. Strasburg will…

GAME IN A NUTSHELL: How do you put an end to a dominant streak by one club over yours, one that may have gotten into to your heads? How about a stunning, bottom-of-the-ninth rally against the best closer in the game? Unfortunately, that only works if you then finish things off with the winning run in…
Game 72: Braves at Nats
Jun 20, 2014, 3:32 PM EDT
There's really not much else to say about the Nationals and the Braves. You know the drill by now. All we can do at this point is wait and see what tonight's game brings in this lopsided rivalry. Stephen Strasburg has the ball, and he's been very good lately (2.15 ERA over his last 10…
Strasburg reflects on Tony Gwynn
Jun 17, 2014, 5:21 PM EDTComments Off on Strasburg reflects on Tony Gwynn
Stephen Strasburg addressed the media in front of his locker at Nationals Park on Tuesday, holding back tears as he spoke fondly of his college coach, Tony Gwynn, a man he grew up admiring as a child in San Diego before later working with him on a daily basis for three years of his life. Gwynn passed…

Jun 15, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT
Remember when the Nationals were baseball's hottest team? Well, that was three whole days ago, and you'd be surprised how much can change in only three days. After a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals last night, the Nats now find themselves in a 3-game funk. And make no mistake, it qualifies as a funk, at…
Game 67: Nats at Cardinals
Jun 14, 2014, 3:32 PM EDT
There was a point back in April when Stephen Strasburg looked out of whack. He sported a 6.00 ERA, was surrendering more hits than he had at any previous time in his career and seemed to have trouble deciding when and how to use all four of his pitches. Then Strasburg faced the Cardinals on…
Nats in midst of historic run of dominance
Jun 10, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT
When Ian Desmond launched a 3-run homer off Texas' Colby Lewis in the bottom of the fourth back on May 30, it was immediately wondered whether that sorely needed blast would serve as the catapult that finally got the Nationals going on a prolonged hot streak. But even the most optimistic of Nationals faithful couldn't…
Game 62: Nats at Giants
Jun 9, 2014, 6:21 PM EDT
The Nationals are playing their best baseball of the season right now, having won seven of nine to propel themselves into a three-way tie for first place in the NL East with the Braves and Marlins. The one caveat: This hot streak has come against the struggling Rangers, Phillies and Padres. Tonight, the real test…

Five-game upswing bodes well in bigger picture
Jun 5, 2014, 1:28 AM EDT
It's only five games. That qualifier needs to be made. Five days from now, the storyline could be completely reversed. But over these last five games — four of them wins, including Wednesday night's 8-4 victory over the Phillies — the Nationals haven't merely looked like a team having a nice week. After two months…

GAME IN A NUTSHELL: The Nationals have been waiting for weeks to go on a sustained run, a stretch where they're firing on all cylinders, at the plate and on the mound. It may be too early to declare this the run they've been seeking, but they're certainly on the right track. With yet another…

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In an unprecedented effort to curb the spread of "superbugs" such as MRSA, C. difficile and TB in ambulances and other transport vehicles, an advanced and portable UV germicidal lamp manufactured by MRSA-UV is now being used by rescue personnel for the first time.
In order to prevent EMS paramedics and transport patients from coming in contact with these deadly pathogens, West Palm Beach Fire Rescue is the first in the nation to begin sanitizing the interior surfaces of its ambulance fleet with this innovative and portable UV light.
President of MRSA-UV Chris Chilvers points out that, "Unfortunately, manual cleaning of all high touch surfaces is time consuming, and recent studies indicate that it misses over 50% of all surface-surviving pathogens." Not only do these surfaces become a home for contagious microbes, but transport victims can unknowingly be carriers of many types of superbugs. "There simply isn't enough time on every call to perform nasal swabs to verify that patients are not harboring dangerous pathogens," says MRSA-UV sales director Merritt Walker.
MRSA-UV's portable Turbo-UV Ambulance Sanitizer thoroughly sanitizes the patient compartment of ambulances in less than 15 minutes, and that space can be safely reoccupied the moment the light powers off. Patients and paramedics are now assured that they have an added layer of protection with the most sterile ambulances possible.
UV germicidal lamps are well known to be both rapid and effective at destroying surface-to-air bacteria, viruses and mold, but until now this portable technology did not exist for ambulances. Turbo-UV offers a clean, green and affordable hands-free method for disinfecting all transportation vehicles.

Just a button, which should run the command "logarchiver.plx -t -d 15".
