Johnson to manage Nationals next season
Johnson made it clear that his goal in 2012 is win the NL pennant. To do that, the Nats must improve offensively. Johnson felt that his position players struck out too much. He would like to see much more production out of his reserves. Last year, the bench was built on speed and defense. Johnson would like to add power to the bench.

Wang credits the Nationals for not giving up on him even though it took so long to recover from the shoulder injury. "I am appreciative of the opportunity and all the support the Nationals gave me to make the comeback," Wang said in a statement. "I am excited about next season, playing together with my teammates, and look forward to doing my best to help the Nationals to the playoffs."
Posted 12 November 2011 - 12:50 PM
According to one source, the Nationals have scouted Wada "a lot" this past season and "the team considers him an option." The 30-year-old has played his entire career with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, going 16-5 with a 1.51 ERA this past season.
Posted 12 November 2011 - 12:55 PM
Personally I feel that this team is ready to take the next step, that being said bringing Livan back on a 1 year deal for cheap money wouldn't be the worst thing for this team to do. Worst case with him you get a Wakefield type long man who can throw a bunch of innings. Sizemore would fit in very well as a wise gamble for this team to make, I wouldn't rule out Josh Willingham part 2 either.
I wouldn't mind any of those options. Sizemore in CF, Willingham in LF (until Harper is ready), Livan for depth.
Of their free agents I wouldn't mind seeing them bring back Laynce Nix, Rick Ankiel, and Livan Hernadez. Todd Coffey will probably be signed somewhere else. If Jesus Flores is healthy, let Ivan Rodriguez go.
Posted 05 December 2011 - 08:56 PM
http://espn.go.com/b...ght-field<br />
While the Nationals have stated their desire to have Harper play at each level of the minors, starting a season with a 19-year-old position player in the majors wouldn't be unprecedented. Back in 1989, the Seattle Mariners gave their Opening Day center-field job to a kid who had played just 18 games above Class A.
Ken Griffey Jr. turned out pretty well.
Obviously, phenoms like Griffey are the rarity. Since 1950, only four players in their age-19 season have received 500 plate appearances -- Griffey, Robin Yount, Rusty Staub and Al Kaline. Only three others -- Edgar Renteria, Ed Kranepool and Tony Conigliaro, received as many as 400 plate appearances.
But Johnson's point was clear: That's the kind of talent Harper possesses.
If Harper wins the right-field job, Johnson also said he'd be comfortable sliding Jayson Werth over to center field, where he started 14 games last season. "He loves center," Johnson said. "He's a heck of a right fielder and I thought he did a good job in center."

Nationals gain two, lose two in Rule 5 Draft
The Nationals selected two players in the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday: catcher Beau Seabury of the Rockies in the Triple-A phase, and right-hander Matthew Buschmann of the Padres in the Double-A phase.
In the Major League phase of the Draft, the Nationals lost outfielder Erik Komatsu to the Cardinals and right-hander Brad Meyers to the Yankees.

Phillies sign Laynce Nix to 2-year deal
The Philadelphia Phillies have signed outfielder Laynce Nix to a two-year contract.Nix batted .250 with a career-high 16 home runs and 44 RBIs in 124 games for the Washington Nationals last season. He started 79 games, including 59 in left field, 12 in right field and six at first base. The 32-year-old Nix is a left-handed hitter.

Nationals acquire reliever Perry from Tigers
The Nationals made their first trade of the offseason on Friday, acquiring reliever Ryan Perry from the Tigers in exchange for right-hander Collin Balester.
Perry became expendable after the Tigers signed free agent Octavio Dotel during the Winter Meetings. Perry is a pitcher who has a power arm. His fastball is clocked as high as 99 mph. He also has a power slider. Perry, who has a Minor League option left, could make the Nationals' big league roster as a sixth or seventh inning reliever before Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen enter the game.
Posted 16 December 2011 - 02:42 PM
The Nationals have signed right-handed reliever Jeff Fulchino, who split last season between the Padres and Astros.In a five-season career that has also included stints with the Marlins and Royals, the 32-year-old Fulchino is 9-10 with a 4.84 ERA in 163 relief outings. He was 1-4 with a 5.71 ERA in 2010.
Posted 19 December 2011 - 10:32 PM
Cameron, Nats come to terms on Minors deal
The Nationals have agreed on a Minor League deal with outfielder Mike Cameron. Manager Davey Johnson said that he is looking for power off the bench and Cameron, who will turn 39 on Jan. 8, could be one of his answers. Besides coming off the bench, Cameron could platoon with Roger Bernadina in center field.
This season, Cameron played for the Red Sox and Marlins and hit a combined .203, with nine home runs and 27 RBIs. He is best remembered for being traded from the Reds to the Mariners as part of the deal that sent Ken Griffey Jr. to Cincinnati after the 1999 season.
Posted 30 December 2011 - 02:10 PM
The Nationals have signed Mark DeRosa for bench versatility. DeRosa has played 6 different positions during his career, including 3rd, 2nd & SS, and has a .272 lifetime avg.

The rotation should feature Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, John Lannan, and Chien-Ming Wang. That pushes the already competent Ross Detwiler into being the ace of the triple-A staff and first injury call up as the bullpen already has a long reliever in Tom Gorzelanny.
Drew Storen is the closer. The leaves Tyler Clippard, Brad Lidge, Sean Burnett, Henry Rodriguez, and Ryan Perry as locks for middle relief duty in the bullpen. Cole Kimball and Ryan Mattheus would then be battling for the final spot (if they went with an eight-man bullpen), assuming they don't want Detwiler sitting in the pen. I know Lidge isn't exactly a model of good health of recent, and that Strasburg, Zimmermann, and Wang aren't long removed from serious injuries, but that could be one of the top pitching staffs from top to bottom in the league if things shape up.

Posted 27 January 2012 - 03:05 PM
I could see Clippard or Storen getting flipped for a CF now though.
I could see the Nats deciding to hold onto both of these guys, since their outfield in July will be:
LF - Mike Morse
CF - Jayson Werth
RF - Bryce Harper
Posted 02 February 2012 - 10:05 PM
The Washington Nationals have reached an agreement on a one-year deal with free-agent pitcher Edwin Jackson.
The contract is reportedly worth between $9 million and $12 million.
Jackson becomes yet another Scott Boras client to join the Nationals, following Strasburg, Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth.

In a development that essentially removes any suspense heading into spring training where their bullpen is concerned, The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms with free-agent reliever Todd Coffey on a one-year, $1.3 million contract with a club option for 2013.
Coffey spent last season with the Washington Nationals, posting a 3.62 ERA in 69 appearances, striking out 46 and walking 20 in 59 2/3 innings. He has a career ERA of 4.08 and briefly pitched out of the closer's role for the Cincinnati Reds in 2006, posting eight of his 11 career saves.
Posted 08 February 2012 - 09:46 AM
The Cardinals and utility fielder Alex Cora have agreed on a minor-league deal that will allow the veteran to serve as both competition and mentor for the club's group of less-experienced infielders.
Cora hit .224 for the Washington Nationals in 2011 while appearing at all four positions in the infield. He was considering a move to coaching -- a role the Cardinals see him holding while vying for a spot on the major-league bench.
Posted 10 February 2012 - 03:50 PM
Outfielder Rick Ankiel is returning to the Nationals. On Sunday, he agreed to terms on a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training, a baseball source confirmed to MLB.com. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Nationals were looking for a left-handed hitter for their bench, and Ankiel could be a good fit. He also could find himself platooning in center field with Mike Cameron, who also signed a Minor League deal this offseason.

The Nationals signed corner infielder and outfielder Mark Teahen to a minor-league deal, the team announced this afternoon. Teahan, 30, will compete for a spot on the Nationals' bench and could give them needed depth at Class AAA Syracuse.
In his seven-year career, Teahen has hit .264/.327/.409, mostly with the Kansas City Royals. Teahen struggled mightily last season with the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, hitting .200/.273/.300 with four home runs in 177 plate appearances.

Rumor: Zimmerman signs 6 Year 100 Million Extension:
No longer a rumor. Zimmerman to be a Nat through 2019.
Zimmerman to have an AAV of $15.75 million over the next 8 years. Love that they spent their money to lock up the best 3rd baseman in the NL, rather than spend it on Prince Fielder. Good core of young players locked up for the next 5-7 years.

"Hopefully, it's not serious," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "(Wang) was having a great spring, trying to come back to what he was. So you hate to see something like that.
"He was having a great outing. He was throwing the heck out of the ball. He was pitching at 90-91 (miles per hour), and he hit 93. He was just outstanding."

Rodriguez finishes with a .296 batting average, 2,884 hits, 311 home runs and 1,332 RBIs. He broke the record of 10 Gold Gloves at catcher that had been held by Johnny Bench and hit .300 or better 10 times.
Rodriguez spent the last two seasons with the Washington Nationals. He decided not to accept a contract offer from the Kansas City Royals, who were interested after Salvador Perez injured a knee and needed surgery. Rodriguez hit just .218 last year with two homers and 19 RBIs in 124 at-bats.

Don't look now, but the Nats are one game away from having the best record in the NL.

I am all aboard the Nats train and have already been to a couple games this year.
I think the vast improvements they made to the bench this year (Chad Tracy, Xavier Nady, Mark DeRosa, Steve Lombardozzi) are going to pay huge dividends for this team this year.

Pitching and Defense have been keeping them in games. They have made a lot of late inning comebacks from down a run or two. I have been to 2 games in the stadium so far this year - Red Sox pre-season game (of course) and the one they lost to the Reds in extras. But even in that game they were impressive. Starting out down 5 runs, and then clawing their way back into a tie to force extra innings.
They now have the best record in the National League with the Dodgers loss last night and #2 overall in the Majors.
If they could start hitting a little better with RISP, they would be tough to stop with that Rotation and Pen!

Wang is expected to throw 65 pitches for the Class A affiliate, according to manager Davey Johnson, and will likely need about three more outings before returning to the big league club. Wang already had a successful outing in an extended spring game on Monday.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 09:41 AM
Zimmermann (1-1) threw four scoreless innings before Orlando Hudson touched him for a solo homer in the fifth, snapping a stretch of 26 scoreless innings by Nationals starters. The previous team best was 24 straight, in 2005, which was established by John Patterson, Hector Carrasco, Esteban Loaiza and Livan Hernandez.

Does anyone have any news on closer Drew Storen? He had surgery but is he out for the season or does he have any sort of timetable for a return?
Been googling like crazy and cannot find anything.
Surgery to remove bone chips and supposed to be back by All Star Break....but we'll see.

General manager Mike Rizzo announced that Bryce Harper will be called up from Triple-A tomorrow to make his MLB debut this weekend at Dodger Stadium, which seemingly comes out of nowhere given that the top prospect was hitting just .250 with a .333 on-base percentage and .375 slugging percentage in 20 games at Triple-A.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 03:59 PM
That the Nationals were able to consolidate their resources to acquire Gonzalez while retaining an admirably deep minor league system -- which is led by outfielder Bryce Harper (No. 1 on B.A.'s Top 100 list) and third baseman Anthony Rendon (No. 19, and considered the best hitter in last June's draft) -- is the direct result of a philosophy that was installed immediately after the Lerner family bought the team from Major League Baseball in July 2006. The philosophy was carried out by Rizzo, who was hired as the club's new vice president of baseball operations: develop, or die trying.
"We didn't mind the pain of finishing last," says Jim Bowden, who was the Nationals' GM until 2009, when he resigned and was replaced by Rizzo. "When Rizzo came in, we were all in on scouting and development -- and nothing else mattered."
The article goes on to say that they didn't sign middling free agents just to be sorta bad. They angling for very bottom and they got lucky on top of that. Interesting for them to admit that.
Posted 01 May 2012 - 01:01 PM
And so, on his first off day as a Big Leaguer, and first day as a resident of Washington DC, Bryce Harper played softball on the Mall in front of the Washington Monument.

Men's Tennis Falls at Southern Illinois
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Creighton men's tennis team fell 7-0 at Southern Illinois Friday afternoon at the Salukis' University Courts.
Creighton (7-8, 0-3 MVC) could not claim a point against host Southern Illinois (12-3, 3-0 MVC). SIU swept the trio of doubles matches to take an early lead before clinching all six singles matches.
CU seniors Sean Mathison and Ryan Norman led the Bluejay effort. At the top singles spot Mathison took seven games from SIU's Brandon Florez in a 6-4, 6-3 setback. At the No. 2 spot, Norman pushed Saluki Jorge Cavero to extra games in the first set before falling 7-5. Cavero carried that momentum into the second set for a 6-1 victory. SIU also claimed the other four singles matches in straight sets.
Creighton returns to action this weekend for its final home matches of the season against Bradley on Saturday and versus Illinois State on Sunday.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators adopted a five-year plan at its reorganizational meeting Wednesday that could reduce property taxes and partially rebuild the fund balance if it were able to raise its sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent.
The plan was attached to a resolution that would support state legislation to allow counties to increase or maintain their sales tax up to 4 percent and to a second resolution that would grant St. Lawrence County the authority to increase its own sales tax. Part of the purpose of the plan is to convince state legislators that an increase in sales tax for the county would mean property tax relief.
With this plan, in the first year, we could reduce the tax levy almost dollar for dollar, Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, said. Its a good compromise. The concept is good.
With most assumptions at status quo, if the countys sales tax were to stay at 3 percent, the increase in the tax levy would likely rise 7 percent in 2014, and between 3.5 percent and 3.9 percent for the next four years. The county could probably not start to rebuild the fund balance until 2016.
With a sales tax hike and if the city of Ogdensburg agreed to its current share at 6.4 percent and the towns and villages received 10 percent of the increase the tax levy could drop 14.3 percent in 2014. The 2013 county tax levy increase was 14.4 percent.
Under a 2009 agreement with the city, the county keeps half of what it collects in sales tax and distributes what is left to towns and villages after the city takes its cut. The county is proposing to change the percentage distributed to towns and villages, but only of the proposed sales tax increase.
At a 3 percent sales tax, the county property tax levy over five years would equal $305,653,503. The increase to 4 percent would mean a five-year property tax levy of $242,713,503.
Thats a difference of $63 million in property taxes collected over five years, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb, chairman of the committee that drafted the plan.
At the same time, the fund balance could grow by $3 million more over the same period. It would be five to seven years before the tax levy was at the 2013 level again.
The committee did a great job of hitting a center point, Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, said. I think its a huge step forward.
Only Legislator Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, said the plan did not go far enough and voted against it.
This is a short-term plan, he said. It doesnt address the real problem.
Although the plan had bipartisan support, the choice of a chairman and vice chairman did not. Democrats voted unanimously for Legislator Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, to succeed Legislator Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk who received a standing ovation from all legislators and for Vice Chairman Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, whose switch from a Republican to a Democrat is not yet effective.
Republicans, with the exception of Mr. Peck, voted for Mr. MacKinnon as chairman and for Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam, as vice chairman.

Quilting Bee Blocks | March 2010
In the meantime, I thought it would be a good time to catch up on sharing my quilting bee blocks. I really love the batch of blocks I have to share with you today! March was a good month for quilting bee inspiration.
First up, for the SewConnected 2 group, Rita sent out some really gorgeous shot cottons and wanted "love" blocks in the spirit of this amazing quilt. I went around and around on what to make for Rita (so many ideas!) and finally landed on a "Be Still My Heart" block from Jacquie's free block tutorial over at Tallgrass Prairie Studio. I added some extra borders and was quite pleased with how it turned out!
In the SewConnected 3 bee, Solidia asked for spiderweb blocks using mostly Denyse Schmidt "Hope Valley" fabrics and a nice charcoal gray for the centers. These blocks were a bit of a challenge because, unlike other spiderweb blocks that I've made, these were not paper or foundation pieced. Solidia asked us to use an online tutorial that uses regular piecing. I had to work over the numbers a few times in my head before starting to cut, but I think they turned out OK!
Also in SewConnected 3, Leah requested the popular "Circle of Geese" block. I love making these blocks. They might look intimidating, but this was the first paper-pieced block pattern that I ever tried. Trust me, it's beginner-friendly!!
Over in Buzz Cuts, Jennie sent out red, white and black fabrics and wanted us to feature the adorable chickens however we saw fit. I made two big 15.5" blocks, and can't wait to see how Jennie's quilt turns out.
SO cute!
March was Julie's turn in the {Bee} Imaginative bee. Julie wanted wonky log cabins / square-in-square blocks, and pointed to this wonderful quilt as her inspiration. I was able to make two for Julie, and really enjoyed working with her fabric selections.

All of the bee blocks are fantastic. But I think the circle of geese are my favorite! I just love paper piecing.ReplyDelete
GREAT blocks, John!!!!ReplyDelete
And AMAZING news on the house - well done!
Congrats and good luck with the house sale! Now comes the fun part, I hope you find what you are looking for :)ReplyDelete
Wow great news about your house!ReplyDelete
Beautiful blocks! your stuff always inspires me to "think outside the box"!ReplyDelete
fantastic blocks!ReplyDelete
I'll keep my fingers crossed on the house!ReplyDelete
Now, for your blocks. What great work you do! I wish I had an eye for design-- I just end up stealing other people's ideas. *sigh*
Wow. What great blocks. And lots of them!ReplyDelete
Excellent news on the house! Have fun house hunting!ReplyDelete
Those blocks look great.ReplyDelete
They are all fabulous blocks, as usual!ReplyDelete
And thanks so much for linking to the spiderweb tut. I am just about finished quilting a Hope Valley quilt for my bedroom, and I wanted to make a spiderweb pillow from some selvedges!
I also made a "circle of geese" block. I turned it into a colorwheel (not my idea, I saw it on a blog!) and gave it to a quilty friend for Christmas last year. :)
Congrats on selling your house. Love all your blocks. Great fabrics! Love & blessings from NC!ReplyDelete
Congrats on the house sale. Love all your bee blocks this month. Nice fabrics for all your bees!ReplyDelete
No matter the colors, fabrics, styles, designs -- your bee blocks are always fantastic! Looks like you caved and joined in the pillow talk swap round three after all? Yea!ReplyDelete
You have been busy! Great blocks.ReplyDelete
great blocks john!! {especially mine!}ReplyDelete
The red blocks look so yummy I just want to lick them!ReplyDelete
Love your bee blocks. They are all fabulous in their own ways. The red and black with chicks are really stand-out. And I love the circle of geese. These two blocks are as fabulous as the first blocks you did with that pattern.ReplyDelete
Your blocks are fantastic - the colors are wonderful, and the way you just 'go for it' is really inspirational. I have quilted for years, but not regularly. I wish I was a bit more daring with colors; right now my stash doesn't have bright, cheerful fabrics so I must use what I have.ReplyDelete
You are such an inspiration with colors and block variety! I have given you an award; come on over to my blog for your surprise.
Yvette :)
You do such good work! Good Job! Also congratulations on selling the house. That is an accomplishment in itself.ReplyDelete
I like NC State, but your blog and quilts are still sensational!
I had never heard of virtual quilt bees--how awesome! Glad I found your blog, now to find a bee or two.ReplyDelete
Your new FQ blocks aren't on here yet but I just scooted over here from FQ to shout out how AWESEOME those blocks are. I didn't want to shout it on FQ because all the blocks you lot made are awesome but yours just shouted off the page at me. The addition of the Wonderland was the genius thing I think. Please put them on Flickr so I can fave them and copy them slavishly.ReplyDelete
It is a pleasure to have discovered your blog and take the pleasant surprise that a man does nice things. I love the fabrics they use are very colorful and very coherent. I will keep going through your blog to see your creations.ReplyDelete
kisses from Spain
I love all of your blocks. They are beautiful!ReplyDelete
I really love and appreciate your style of quilting and putting together colours. Thanks for writing such a great blog and for starting fat quarterly.ReplyDelete
What great blocks! I love the circle of geese. I'll have to try it because I'm a sucker for paper piecing. Good Luck.ReplyDelete
it was sooo nice to meet you in person! though i was highly disappointed when you didn't strut your stuff on the dance floor. it's okay though there's always next time. :)ReplyDelete
I can't believe you are a man!!!!!!!!!! :-DReplyDelete
...kidding you ... very good job! I'm not a quilter yet ... still looking for the easy and right pattern!! ... but I kind of ran into your blog and couldn't stop peeking around!!
many many compliments from italy!!!!!!
Oh, those chicken blocks and that fabric are spectacular! Love, Love, LOVE IT!ReplyDelete

Portable, powerful, percussion pad perfect for your productions and performances!
The Roland Octapad SPD-30 blends the world's most essential sounds with the latest percussion triggering technology. Roland wraps the Octapad in a road-tough package that's ready for the most demanding performers.
Roland's original Octapad profoundly changed the landscape of electronic percussion. The size of a briefcase, the Octapad offered drummers and percussionists the equivalent of an entire electronic rig in one self-contained unit-a new level of convenience and expression. Now, decades later, another exciting chapter in Octapad history begins.
Sound Bank
Unlike the original Octapad PAD-8, which was strictly a MIDI controller, the Roland Octapad SPD-30 is a controller that's packed with its own internal bank of sounds. Fifty kits are built into the SPD-30-essential sounds that span a musical universe of styles. You can customize the sounds with the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep, and more. Having a Roland Octopad is like having a truckload of customizable drum and percussion instruments in one portable package.
Based on Roland's world-leading effects technology, the SPD-30's multi-effects engine will take your performances to another level. The Octopad has 30 types of internal multi-effects onboard, plus EQ, limiter, and seven ambiance types.
Phrase Loop Function
The onboard Phrase Loop function lets you instantly create layered loops and phrases. You can record and store 50 phrases internally, with each containing up to three layers. You can also save your phrase data on your USB Memory.
Advanced Triggering Technology
The SPD-30 Octopad benefits from Roland's most advanced V-Drum triggering technology. Each pad is a separate, isolated unit, providing the ultimate in sensitivity with complete crosstalk rejection. In addition, you can connect four dual-trigger inputs plus a hi-hat controller (compatible with Roland FD-8, VH-11) to create a mini drum set with external pads (Roland KD/PD/PDX/CY series), as well as to accept triggers from acoustic drums through Roland's RT series.
The Octapad SPD-30 is the most versatile Octapad yet! Order today!

Comments about Roland SPD-30 Octapad:
Great for playing percussion but the phrase looper is not good enough. A hasty work developing. If you pretend to get as much out of it as possible to maximize value, be prepared to spend a lot of time with it learning all features. Also, you need to solve problems with an open mindset and make "mental detours" in the creational process to intuitively at a blink realize what you want to do live.
Pros: Great sounds and possibilities of variation between them. Good pad feel and playability. And other great ways of saving sounds and handling of menus.
Cons: Doesn't forward MIDI clock.
No separate pad for stopping and starting loops ONLY.
Hard to use in a live setting syncing to a external beat/music. No way to tap tempo in pre-listening mode, also because Metronome doesn't start when immeadately when pressing start/standby button.
It's easy to become impressed by Michael Shacks demos but the Phrase loop function seems more or less meant to be played in a solo context. Maybe easier if syncing to a midi clock. But hard in an overall acoustic environment.
Good as expected.
Almost there, unfinished product regarding the Phrase loop. Buy a Loop pedal instead. Prepare for steep learning curve.
Comments about Roland SPD-30 Octapad:
Great adition to my accoustic kit. Great pad. I love it.
Easy to use lots of sounds and features. Easy to record and use loop function.
Made very well, pads respond great.
Kind of pricey but you get what you pay for.
Comments about Roland SPD-30 Octapad:
i didn't give it full marks because the spd-sx has some features that i think the spd-30 should have as well. this machine would be way cool if it did!
i have read in reviews and forums that some say roland v drums and this pad sound like a toy. it is my opinion these people must be running their sound through a toy amp. i personally run mine through a peavey kb-5 and the sounds and tone are spot on. it still blows me away when i play. the high end electric drum kits require doing your home work and investing in good sound equipment to take advantage of all the hard work that went into the product. roland holds many patents that others must pay to use just to keep up. i have several roland models and just love them.
as far as my review of this pad. learn to adjust the sensitivity to take advantage of multi triggering the pads. i had to learn some techniques to get the pads to come alive. takes a little practice but thats the fun part.
this newer model octapad is built well. my five year old misses the pads and smacks the plastic from time to time and it doesn't phase it.
a bit pricey but what isn't these days?
Comments about Roland SPD-30 Octapad:
After playing the SPD-20 since 1999, I have grown to love the compactness of Roland Multipads. The SPD 20 and SPD S made a formidable foe for the Roland modules of the past, until the TD series arrived. I was hoping the SPD 30 would rival the TD series, but that was not the Roland business plan. Make no mistake,it is built very well and has LOTS of way cool world percussion samples, but that's the end of the story. If you want a good percussion tool with unique and high quality sounds, you could not do any better, but if you are thinking about a matching hot rod drum kit, not much here. On this unit, Roland makes the outboard pads unable stack two sounds,(rim & head don't count) it's drama to turn off sound bank A while programming sound bank B, the acoustic drum selections are skimpy and many just plain bad sounding. So this is definitely a percussionist machine or an add on to another Roland (they planned it that way) module. I guess I was hoping for an improved sound bank with more samples (the Yamaha has over 1000) of high quality drums and cymbals along with the world percussion instruments. I plan to keep the SPD 30 because of those unique instruments, but will simply have to buy the Yamaha to finish the job. With the Yamaha having sampling capabilities, I might be able to lose the SPD S and it's insensitive pad response...but that is another story.
Comments about Roland SPD-30 Octapad:
Yes, this is the best Octapad, latest and greatest, I'll give you that, but it is still lacking key elements that could have made it great. With 2 usb connections and audio in, you would expect this to have some sort of audio import feature like the SPD-S, but it does not. The pad lights only shine when a phrase loop is active. The monochrome LCD display is a bit tricky to navigate and the phrase loop light just keeps flashing and driving me crazy. There are no user banks or storage locations to set up kits inside the unit, but thankfully there is a USB memory connection. Output is weak, but headphones are ok. Pads are soft able to be controlled individually with absolutely no cross talk, but are more sensitive in center, less at the edge. The literature lies. Very limited number of samples and pitched instruments have way too few resamples. Phrase looping is nice but nothing new here. You can only combine 3 tracks in a loop, but SPD-S can combine 9. Hows that for progress. Solid instrument and easy to play, good addition to V-drum set or SPD-S.

In the solar system of fashion trends, if hemlines and silhouettes act like Jupiter and Saturn, denim is more like Mercury. To explain our odd astronomy reference, we simply mean that while the former orbits around the sun-er, progresses-at a stately pace, jean styles move super swiftly. Happily, you don't have to understand Kepler's laws of planetary motion to appreciate the current light-wash denim craze. Just observe how famous stylesetters like Rihanna and Rachel Zoe are wearing these pale pairs and comprehension shall be yours!
Though fashionable celebrities are often responsible for directing denim fads (cough: boyfriend jeans), today's Trend Report has a great deal of runway support as well. Balmain created a few notoriously expensive options, which have received loads of press, but the light-wash pieces shown by brands like Diesel and William Rast are equally on-trend and not as silly-expensive. At the Diesel Black Gold show, a paint-on-denim pair was styled with sandals, a Muslin Tux Shirt ($350, 212.625.1555), and a simple gray Bonis Blazer ($400), while at William Rast, pale jeans appeared with a tucked-in chambray shirt and an equally bleached-out vest. Diesel created the aforementioned style solely for the runway collection, but try their Wenga Jeans ($300, 212.755.3555) for a similar effect. If you prefer the William Rast look, just pick up the brand's
Sadie Jeans ($220) in Snowstorm and couple it with a Chambray Western Shirt ($113).
As for the light denim that's popular with paparazzi-favorites, we're happy to report that there's not a single shape or style dominating this trend thus far. Star stylist Rachel Zoe showed off one of the wider pairs when she stepped out in Los Angeles last month wearing 7 For All Mankind's Super Flare Jeans ($180) in Ibiza wash. Zoe expertly played with proportion in her outfit; we love how she layered a tunic-length tank and cropped Ralph Lauren jacket over her belled jeans. While her exact pair is from 7FAM's Spring 08 collection, Twenty8Twelve's Celine Flare Jeans ($290) or Mango's Birkin Jeans ($80) will give you a similar look. Or you could pick up 7 For All Mankind's classic Bell Bottoms ($125) in the California wash and fade them yourself!
In addition to wide-leg or bell-bottom options, some celebs, like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, opt for slim-and-shredded styles. Lohan was spotted in an ankle-zip pair of Balmain's Balmain Acid wash ripped jeans ($2165) with Givenchy's Open-Toe Elastic Cord Wedge Booties ($795) while en route to a meeting in LA last month. Meanwhile in London, Mischa Barton turned up at the launch of her new handbag line wearing ASOS' Iggy Full Ripped Skinny Jeans ($50) with an equally goth-gorgeous pair of shoes, specifically Alexander McQueen's Grommet Booties ($1249). J Brand's Acid Wash Ripped Jeans ($218) and Silence & Noise's Ripped Twig Jean ($68) approximate the look of Lohan's haute jeans, while Current/Elliott's The Skinny Jean ($224) offers a stateside variation on Barton's British pair.
Our final example for today's trend comes courtesy of Rihanna, who recently wore Vintage1's Skinny Jeans ($198) while out and about in Manhattan. The brand (previously known as Pratt's Motor Spirit) will hit Singer22.com shortly, so in the meantime you can contemplate what sort of accoutrement you want to wear with your moto-style jeans. Or if you're impatient, just check out Unknown Factory's Biker Skinny Jeans ($198). The detailing is subtler, but the shade is still super light. Either way, the look is out of this world...

INDIAN ISLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- On Tuesday, Judith Josiah-Martin, Director of Multicultural Student life at the University of Maine, spoke to community members about the legacy of addiction, and the myths behind it.
"We tend to think they're bad people, they're crazy people, they're just drug-seeking, abusing people that we are wasting our resources on," said Josiah-Martin.
But Josiah-Martin says this is an illness, just like any other illness, and it needs to be treated.
"It's something that disturbs, changes and alters how people function, how people think how people behave," said Josiah-Martin.
Another myth behind addiction is that there's no life after recovery, which Josiah-Martin says is not true. She says that misconception arises because addicts stay anonymous through recovery, and the public only hears about them if they get arrested.
"We don't tend to hear anything about people in recovery, the people who have gone on who have five, 10, 15, 20 years of recovery who are living productive lives, who run companies, who teach, who have gone on to full careers or have beautiful families," said Josiah-Martin.
An example is Marissa Mitchell, who spoke publicly about her addiction for the first time. She said bullying is what made her turn to drugs 15 years ago. She's now been clean for 10 years, and hopes to help others beat the addiction that once plagued her.
"My recovery story could be totally different from another person, but they can't do it alone is basically what I want them to know, that you need the support from other people to get through and to stay clean," said Mitchell.
In 2008, 5,685 people in Maine were admitted for opiate treatment. That number is the 12th highest in the country, and the 2nd highest in the New England behind Vermont.
"At the same time we have some of the best services here whether its through the Maine health care system or other community services," said Josiah-Martin.
In hopes of releasing more people from the destructive effects of opiate dependency.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of giving a normal factor IX gene to treat individuals who have an abnormal or no factor IX gene. Recruitment will be limited to adults (≥ 18 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of hemophilia B (HB), resulting from a missense mutation in the coagulation factor IX (FIX) gene or a nonsense mutation that has not been associated with an inhibitor. Only subjects who have no evidence of active hepatitis or anti-hFIX antibodies, and who have been treated/exposed to Factor IX concentrates for at least ten years and have had an average of 3 bleeding episodes per year requiring FIX administration will be enrolled. Patients will be recruited within the United States for treatment at one of two centers and patients will be recruited in England and other countries for treatment in London by our British collaborators.
Hemophilia B
Genetic: Gene Transfer
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
|Official Title:
|An Open Label Dose-Escalation Study Of A Self Complementary Adeno-Associated Viral Vector (scAAV 2/8-LP1-hFIXco) For Gene Transfer in Hemophilia B
- To assess the safety of systemic administration of a novel self complementary AAV vector in adults with severe hemophilia B at up to four different dosage levels. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 2029
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Group 1
All participants who meet the eligibility requirements.
Intervention: Gene Transfer
Genetic: Gene Transfer
Peripheral vein infusion of scAAV2/8-LP1-hFIXco vector once per participant
Detailed Description:
Hemophilia B is caused by an absence or abnormality in the gene that produces the factor IX protein. Affected individuals cannot make a blood clot effectively and suffer from severe bleeding episodes. Repeated bleeding episodes, specifically into joints, can cause chronic joint disease and lead to disability. This research study will test the safety of giving an affected individual a normal factor IX gene which can produce factor IX protein in his body. We will give the normal gene for factor IX by using an inactivated (not able to function) virus called "the vector." The vector used in this study was developed from an adeno-associated virus that has been changed so that it is unable to cause a viral infection in humans. This inactivated virus was further altered to carry the factor IX gene and to locate within liver cells where factor IX protein is normally made.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males ≥ 18 years of age with established severe HB (FIX:C<1u/dl),
- Treated/exposed to FIX products (e.g., concentrates or fresh frozen plasma) for at least 10 years or 50 exposure days.
- A minimum of an average of 3 bleeding episodes per year requiring FIX infusions or prophylactic FIX infusions because of frequent prior bleeding episodes
- Able to give informed consent and comply with requirements of the trial
- Currently free of inhibitor and have no history of inhibitors to FIX protein
- A negative family history for the development of an inhibitor,
- Willing to practice a reliable barrier method of contraception until 3 sequential samples are negative for vector genomes using our PCR assay.

This is an open label study (no placebos are used; all patients will receive the true medication) to evaluate the effectiveness of TMC114/rtv in treatment naÃ-ve (never previously received anti-HIV drugs), HIV 1 infected patients.
HIV Infections
Drug: TMC114 (darunavir) / ritonavir
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase II, Open Label Trial in Treatment na�ve, HIV 1 Infected Subjects Who Will Receive TMC114/Rtv as a Monotherapy
- The primary objective is to evaluate sustained anti-viral activity of TMC114/rtv monotherapy in treatment naive, HIV 1 subjects defined by decrease of >1 log viral load (VL) at week 4, VL <400 copies/ml at week 8 and VL< 50 copies/ml at weeks 24 and 48.
- The secondary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability of TMC114/rtv over 48 weeks, to evaluate immunologic response, to evaluate the possible development of resistance and to monitor potential changes in body shape.
|Study Start Date:
|September 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2007
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This is an open label (no placebo), uncontrolled (all patients will receive TMC114 with ritonavir at the same dose, trial to investigate the sustained anti-viral activity of TMC114/rtv monotherapy in 24 treatment naïve, HIV 1 infected patients over a period of 48 weeks.TMC114, 800 mg daily (2 tablets of 400 mg [F021]) will be given together with 1 capsule (100 mg) of ritonavir.Initially 11 subjects (Panel A, screening viral load between 10000 and 100000 copies/mL) will be included and followed for 8 weeks. If after 8 weeks of dosing at least 7 subjects virologically respond (viral load <400 copies/mL), 13 additional patients (Panel B) will be included. If no virologic failure is observed in at least 18 out of 24 patients who complete 8 weeks of dosing, the trial will continue as planned. In case more than 6 patients in Panel A and Panel B develop a virologic failure after 8 weeks of treatment, the trial will be stopped to conclude the treatment is not effective.The 13 additional patients enrolled in Panel B should have a screening viral load between 20000 and 500000 copies/mL. The CD4+ cell count in all 24 patients should be > 100 cells/µL at screening. The patient's medical condition, adverse events (side effects), study medication compliance, and laboratory evaluations for effectiveness and safety will be assessed at regular intervals. At the end of the 48 weeks treatment period patients will be followed for an additional 4 weeks to evaluate any side effects or laboratory abnormalities. Treatment with TMC114/rtv will be extended for all patients who continue to benefit after 48 weeks. 2 oral tablets of TMC114 400 mg will be administered once daily with 1 capsule (100mg) of ritonavir for 48 weeks.

EU Drops PET Antidumping Probe Against Sabic and Octal
December 21, 2011 | Natasha Alperowicz
The European Union (EU) has terminated an antidumping and anti-subsidy probe on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) products from Oman and Saudi Arabia, following the withdrawal of a complaint by the Committee of PET Manufacturers in Europe, according to notice posted on the European Commission's website. The complaint, lodged in January this year, accused Octal (Muscat), a major producer of PET, and Sabic of receiving subsidies from their respective governments, which allowed the two firms to sell PET in the European market at a lower price...

FOUND by Joe Briggs in a dormitory on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Wisconsin
When I was in college, I used to clean dorm rooms in the summer to make ends meet. Other student workers and I would wake up much earlier than we were accustomed to and dread that first week of the summer. We would enter rooms, black garbage bags in hand, and encounter freezers with exploded Colt 45′s and used condoms glued to mattresses. But, sometimes what we found would stop us in our tracks. I found this note attached to a bouquet of flowers that was in the garbage. I wanted to take the bouquet and the note, but I don't think our boss would've liked that. I met my wife while working this job and our inside joke, whenever we have a fight, is for me to end the tiff by saying, "I'm sorry I called you high maintenance."

Now they want to build a tunnel for cars and trucks to connect the motorways that come from the north of Copenhagen and end in an area called Ryparken/Hans Knuds Square, to the motorway that connects the West of Zealand (the island on which Copenhagen is located) and the bridge to Sweden. This motorway also accesses the Copenhagen airport. What is interesting is the development that this will no longer be called the "harbour tunnel", but will instead be called the "Eastern Bypass" - but that's just so that it can recieve funding from the national government. This will, however, mean that the tunnel may have to have more interchanges on its route than a pure bypass road would have, especially as it is being proposed as a "Public-Private Partnership", the investors in which will be wanting as much return on their money.

We at Copenhagenize encourage Copenhagen municipality to maintain the position that a harbour tunnel creates more problems than it solves. It is an obscene, disgusting amount of money to spend on something that has been proven to be useless and that will create more traffic in Copenhagen.
Rationality is the new black. Catering to automobile culture is last century.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) She has been described as a "trail blazer" and "community treasure" for the city of Grand Rapids. Dr. Ella Mary Sims died at the age of 89 on Wednesday, January 23rd. She will be missed by many, but never forgotten.
"By virtue of age she's been out of the public eye for a few years. But, she has helped shape the community in many ways," said Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell who asked for a moment of silence, in honor of Sims, during this 2013 State of the City address.
Dr. Ella Sims moved to Grand Rapids in 1946 and would spend most of the next 65 years working to improve the lives of Grand Rapids residents, especially minorities and women. During the 1960's, she led efforts to create fair and affordable housing for minorities.
"She was very much a part of the housing projects that ended up coming here and increasing the standards of living for the African American lifestyle," said William "Tom" Sims, Ella's 4th son. "She got active in the community being a standard holder of truth. She just voiced her opinion, as God gave it to her, and it took her to different places to be an influence in different areas."
Granddaughter, Meia Sims-Love, says "Grandma taught us community is everything. Service to your community is everything and if you are not a part of the solution you are a part of the problem."
Dr. Sims was definitely part of the solution. Her devotion and dedication earned her the respect of people from all walks of life.
"One of my younger brothers, his school was having an excursion in Washington D.C. He was at the White House and President Ford said isn't that Ella's child,' Tom fondly remembers.
Sims, who received the NAACP Floyd Skinner Award, in 1968, and the Giants Among Giants award, in 2005, received countless honors through her work promoting causes like adult education and economic opportunity and equality.
She helped found the Women's Resource Center in the early 1970's and served on boards of the YWCA, Family Outreach Center, NAACP, Salvation Army, United Way, Michigan League of Human Services and and Aquinas College where she retired as Director of Minority Affairs.
"I respected her persistence the most about her," said Heartwell. "When she knew what she wanted, and she knew what was best, she could in a most gentle way bring you around."
In 2009, Heartwell selected Sims as one of his "Champions of Diversity", an honor he gives "elders who had been deeply engaged in civil rights in this community and across the country Ms. Sims was one of them," he said.
Sims was also the first African American woman to write a weekly column in the Grand Rapids Press called "It Seems To Me." The column gave Sims a platform to discuss important issues that many were unwilling or unable to address before.
"The original African American Carrie Bradshaw, if you will," said Sims-Love.
Micah Sims remembers his grandmother skill at reaching people well.
"She had a way of talking to people that made them feel like they were the most important person in the world," he said.
But with all of her accomplishments there was no question what was top on Ella Sims list of priorities.
"She was a family woman. Family came first," he said.
Family came first with Sims. But, so did her faith, which propelled her to achieve the success she attained.
"Never a question. God was her motivation. God kept her going. God sustained her. And she understood everything that was good in her came from Him," said Tom. "I don't think she can be remembered for anything other than what she was and that is a true child of God. That is what she would to be remembered as.
A pioneer of our times, Dr. Sims leaves behind 5 generations of a family. Progeny that hope to keep her legacy alive.
"We might not have seen all the things she did but we can feel it and we hear from the community," said Micah Sims.
"She spent her mature adult life focused on her community. That was everything to her," said Sims-Love. "Now we as grandchildren and great-grandchildren want to do her legacy proud being the same way."
The family is holding a public viewing for Sims 1:00-5:00 p.m. and a community reflection service between 6:00 and 8:00p.m. on Friday, February 1st between at True Light Baptist Church, 900 Thomas SE Grand Rapids. The Community is invited to attend the service.
A private funeral will take place Saturday, February 2nd. Contributions can be made in memory of Dr. Ella Mary Sims to Step of Faith Church, to support the Kids Hope USA program.

Thank GOD I did. He is hands down the most patient & thorough doctor that I have ever been to. He spends as much time as needed with each patient until all of their questions are answered - hence the slightly lower rating on the timeliness, but it's all for the better of his patients. He diagnosed me with Exzema & I immediately improved in days. A+

Comments about Stretch Polo (Men's):
I often wear these polos out for cocktails or dinner on hot summer nights. The colors, fabric, and stitching all make the shirt stylish for an evening out, yet the fabric is light and breathable making them ideal for warmer temperatures. I hope they come out with new colors next year!

Brazil takes steps to alleviate high cost of production
November 13, 2012 | Kara Sissell in Rio de Janeiro
The high cost of production in Brazil, due in part to expensive raw materials, energy, and high taxes, has been a central concern for domestic producers, according to speakers and attendees at the 32nd annual meeting of the Latin American Chemical Industry Association (APLA), held this week in Rio de Janeiro. But the Brazilian government is making some progress toward alleviating certain conditions, Pedro Wongtschowski, president of the Ultra Group, tells CW. By early next year, producers will start to see an estimated 20% reduction in the cost of electric power...

MASSENA A check for nearly $2 million helped Massena Memorial Hospital have another profitable month in August.
But its a check that CEO Charles F. Fahd II said he really doesnt want to receive.
Chief Financial Officer James L. Smith said the hospital received $1.75 million in federal funds as a low-volume adjustment for 2012. That money, according to Mr. Fahd, means that the hospital saw more than a 5 percent decrease in the number of Medicare admissions during the adjusted year.
Its obviously a lot of money. Its nice to get it, but the reasoning for getting it is not a good thing. The only time we are allowed to have an adjustment is if volume drops significantly, he said. You cant count on it every year. ... Its not a good thing.
In order to receive the money, hospital officials had to show they were making a significant effort to decrease their costs, including downsizing staff or decreasing expenses, Mr. Fahd said.
Mr. Smith said that, with the low-volume adjustment, the hospitals August financials were significantly better than they had predicted.
It turned a very poor revenue month into a pretty good revenue month. It showed us to be 5 percent over budget. Previously we were well over 10 percent below budget, he said.
Overall, the hospital had a profit of $508,384 in August. It had budgeted a profit of $118,358. It had turned a profit of $19,541 in August 2012.
What ended up happening is the net bottom line, which was going to be negative $450,000, ended up being positive $508,000, Mr. Smith said.
Hospital officials had budgeted 217 inpatient discharges for August and finished the month with 177 18.43 percent below budget. They had recorded 228 inpatient discharges in August 2012.
Observation visits, however, were 7 percent above what was budgeted.
Outpatient registrations finished the month at 10,950, which was 3.50 percent below the budget of 11,347 for August. The hospital had 11,350 outpatient registrations in August 2012.
Outpatient visits were down somewhat, but not to the same degree that the inpatient volumes were, Mr. Smith said, noting that some of that was attributable to vacations by medical staff during that month.
Net patient revenue for August had been budgeted at $4.14 million and the hospital finished the month with $4.36 million, a 5.52 percent increase over its budget. It was $3.88 million in August 2012.
Net patient revenues originally were $850,000 below budget prior to receiving the low-volume adjustment, Mr. Smith said
The hospital was able to add the money from the adjustment to the August budget because it was received quickly, according to the chief financial officer, who said it had received a letter dated Sept. 16 notifying it that it would have the cash within 30 days.
It ended up arriving in six days and was deposited Monday, he said.
Year-to-date, the hospital revenues remain $1.4 million under budget. At this same period last year they were $1.6 million under budget.
