Juliette Falls is located in Dunnellon about 15 miles west of I-75 off exit 352 to 40 West.
The layout is a scenic parkland style of design with tree lined, rolling fairways, a variety of waste and conventional sand bunkers, and numerous water features, including four waterfalls. It plays to 7,236 yards from the Viking tees, 75.4/143, course/slope ratings with five sets of tees, designed by John Sanford.
The course was in excellent shape yesterday. I've heard that recently they have struggled a bit, but can't verify that. It really is in the middle of nowhere. Chances are good that you won't see anyone else if you get out for a round. In my experience, they let the golf course play relatively hard and fast. Many holes allow for a running approach. 3 comes to mind, 200+ par 3, that can be bounced in from the left side. It's a great match play course. 9 is a downhill drivable par 4 that begs for an eagle opportunity. The variety of holes is pretty decent, with a few excellent ones (2, 8, 12, 14 come to mind). There are a couple of par 3's that must have cost a fortune to build, waterfall features, etc...
This is one of the nices courses I have played in Florida. I play all over the state and this place is great. It is out of the way, but well worth the stop. Play World Woods and then drive north and play Juliette Falls. I played this course for $25 what a bargin. Great condition, beautiful scenery, a must play for Florida. Course condition perfect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juliette Falls is very challenging. The greens are the toughest around. Make sure to bring a range finder and get on the right tier or below. You don't want to miss long on these greens. Course has a great practice facility. Get there early to take advantage of the free range balls. The atmosphere is fantastic. Some of the best dining in Ocala/Dunnellon.
Fun golf course, great condition, really under the "Florida" radar screen as a top course, a little out of the way, but worth the drive from Ocala
great layout, good price, scenic, excellent clubhouse, but...rock hard, very fast & severely undulating greens....some approaches impossible to pins tucked behind bunkers...some putts impossible from wrong side of green...extremely difficult for first time players...and I have a 4 handicap...good luck breaking 80

text: I really hate rating a hotel in favorite chain so poor. The hotel is under going a lobby facelift which has nothing to do with the poor rating. I booked a mini suite, I settled down to cruise the internet and watch a little TV. The couch and chair were so uncomfortable that I could only stand it for 10 minutes. Knowing that they were doing some remodeling, I called down and asked if they had some newer rooms - no they are only reprinting some of the furniture - you mean they are actually keep this stuff?? Does anyone actually try to sit on the furniture they buy before making the decision? The bed had the poorly functioning air mattress. I came back from dinner, looking forward to new cookies that Garden Inns are now offering - no cookies, they stopped serving them a month ago. Should have stayed at the ALoft next door

OXNARD, Calif. — Jason Garrett took time out during his news conference Sunday to tell a story about Jason Witten in response to a question about why the Pro Bowl tight end doesn't get days off like so many of the other veterans.
"We were playing Tampa a few years ago in the opener," Garrett said. "We liked this 'wham' play. A wham play is when you take a tight end or a fullback or somebody and you wham the nose tackle – you let the lineman go up to the next level and you try to surprise the defense by taking this other guy to block this defensive lineman.
"We thought one of our tight ends, Martellus Bennett, would be very good at this. Big, strong physical guy – he'd be a great whammer. We thought it was important to stay in regular personnel, a true fullback, a true halfback. So we put this play in. It was a one-play package: Aggie 21. We were going to call '32 Wham.' So Witt was going to come off the field, and Martellus was going to come in and wham the nose.
"And I have a great relationship with Witt, have had a great one for a long time. When we put this thing in, he literally didn't talk to me for a week."
Garrett shrugged to make his point that Witten didn't like the idea of Bennett doing the "wham" and took it as a snub rather than the coach looking out for his safety.
"My image is, it's a 300-pound nose tackle and a guy who caught 100 balls last year is going to come up and have a separated shoulder," Garrett said. "It's not good coaching. So we had a battle where he did not talk to me for a week about Aggie 21 whamming the nose. So getting him to take a day off of practice is a little bit like the Aggie 21 story. You start the conversation, and he nods his head, continues to nod his head and he goes out to practice again and again and again."

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 06/20/14 -- Perisson Petroleum Corporation (CSE: POG) ("Perisson" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the results of its annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation held on June 20, 2014.
Following those resolutions, the shareholders approved, by a majority of vote, the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors of the Corporation as well as the election of the following Directors: MM. Chien-Yeh (Gary) Chen, David Foo, Chih-Sheng Hsu, Jinbao Liu, Bradley Nichol, Serge M. Racine and Marc Roberge. We find among this group, newcomers David Foo and Bradley Nichol, who will offer a significant contribution due to their vast experience in the development and management of oil properties on an international scale.
Messrs. Nichol and Foo will support the Management of Perisson with a view to maximizing the potential of its Colombian property VMM-17, located in the Middle Magdalena Basin in the Province of Tolima. This project involves contingent resources estimated at 32 million barrels, with unrisked prospective resources assessed at 350 million barrels. In preparation for the launch of the exploratory phase, scheduled for late 2014, Perisson is bolstering its expertise on both the strategic and operational levels.
"We are delighted to be able to count on experts of the calibre of Brad and David as we look ahead to a crucial step that should lead to the startup of operations in what is a promising deposit," commented Perisson chief executive officer Gary Chen. "Their in-depth knowledge of the entire oil industry and their contribution to the success of many projects of the same type are important assets for us."
A graduate in mechanical engineering and holder of an MBA from the London Business School, Brad Nichol has played key roles on numerous management teams of junior oil and gas exploration and production companies. In the course of his 22-year career, Brad has also acted as a close adviser to many senior executives of Fortune 500 companies, more specifically in the field of mergers and acquisitions. He is currently the President and CEO of an oil and gas exploration and production company that is dual-traded on exchanges in Canada and the UK. During his many years with oilfield-services giant Schlumberger Limited, part of his international responsibilities included management of well-bore construction, stimulation and coiled-tubing services in fields operated in Colombia by BP plc.
With over 30 years' experience in oil exploitation and technical services, David Foo has built up remarkable know-how and a wide-ranging network of contacts that allow him to offer a unique vision of the industry. After taking a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Calgary, David worked for close to ten years close for Suncor, as well as for Paramount Resources and Marathon Canada. He also led teams performing key technical roles on many megaprojects, including the Bi-Provincial Heavy Oil Upgrader (now propriety of Husky Oil), the AECO C Storage Hub, and the OCENSA Pipeline in Colombia. His international experience has also involved significant contributions to a number of oil projects in Africa.
Robert Desjardins and Manhong Xi have ceased their functions as directors of the Corporation in order to concentrate on other professional activities.

DevOps delivers remarkable results. But does it help all of IT? Can traditional 'mode 1' IT benefit as much as innovative 'mode 2'? How about the rest of your business? Or have you just shifted your bottleneck? And if so, what can you do about it? Improving dev and ops is necessary, but not sufficient. It often just shifts the burden sideways (e.g., to PMs, SQA, InfoSec, DBAs, NOC, etc.), upstream (to the PMO, Controller, Business Liaison, etc.), or downstream (to TechPubs, Service Desk, Traini...

Where others fear trade and economic growth, we see opportunities for creating new wealth and undreamed-of opportunities for millions in our own land and beyond. Where others seek to throw up barriers, we seek to bring them down; where others take counsel of their fears, we follow our hopes.

LPC Men's Retreat 2015
Lake Arrowhead
October 16 – 18
Men of all ages are welcome to join us as we learn about how God works in our daily lives. We hope to encourage men to grow in their faith and relationships as we learn from others who are doing the very same thing.
Each year, we look forward to having our faith deepened, hearts strengthened, and minds transformed as we fellowship with other men. Our retreat takes place up at beautiful Lake Arrowhead. We have homes reserved, close by one another and near the Lake.
This year our special speaker will be Rev. Tim McCalmont, Pastor at Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, Costa Mesa.
Tim has been at PCC for the last twenty years. He tells wonderful stories about growing up in Hollywood, graduating from Hollywood High and graduating with degrees from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington and Fuller Seminary. He pastored other churches in Seattle and Downey before coming to Costa Mesa. Tim and his wife Ruth have three kids, all married, and four grandchildren, two who live locally and two who live in the northwest.
Tim is an avid sports fan, loving the intricacies of baseball and the demanding precision of golf. Though he is still a "hacker" who shoots in the mid-90s, he will tell you it's the "fellowship of the game" that draws him, as well as the shadow of possibility that he can "play this game." He loves to preach and teach the Scriptures and is driven by the preparation. His favorite hobbies include photography and spinning imaginative tales for his grandkids.
A Snapshot of the Weekend
We meet for dinner on Friday night at the main house. Following dinner we gather for a discussion led by our guest speaker. Saturday morning after breakfast, we meet for worship and discussion. Free time is Saturday afternoon. After dinner at the Lake Arrowhead village, there is a time of worship and discussion at the "Main House" with the guest speaker. Sunday morning we start with breakfast and conclude with Communion. Then back to your house to clean up and pack. You are on your own for lunch on the way back to Laguna Beach.
Activities available during our Saturday afternoon free time include mountain activities: hiking, walking in the village, biking, reading, napping, a game of cards, various field games on the nearby grassy knoll, and fishing (supply your own bike and fishing gear).
Registration includes: Shared room for two nights, two breakfasts, one lunch and one dinner, as well as all retreat materials. You will need extra cash for one dinner out and for travel expenses.
Final information will be sent to you two weeks before leaving.
For more information about Men's Ministries, please contact Steve Sweet.

Staff Report
North Brunswick opened its volleyball season with a 25-19, 25-22, 25-17 victory against Union.
"Senior Claire Longshore did a good job moving from the libero roll into the setter role, helping the team with 11 assists," North coach Morgan Farroll said.
Longshore also tallied four aces, two kills and five digs.
In the second set, Longshore went on a serving streak, scoring five straight points.
Alfy Hill is on the football roster for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hill, a West Brunswick graduate, is so new to the team that Eagles' website lists him as 6-foot-5 but lists no weight. His jersey number is 77.
A brief biography states that Hill is a "a 6-foot-3, 283 pound defensive end, Hill began his collegiate career at the University of Alabama but played his final two seasons at Winston-Salem State. In his senior year, he accumulated 29 tackles and 7.5 sacks. Hill practiced with the Arizona Cardinals this spring prior to joining the Eagles."
Every year, a cool, crisp north wind begins to blow in Brunswick County. The air becomes lighter, pumpkins appear on doorsteps and you can bet that a big king mackerel will be caught off Ocean Crest Pier. For some, these seasonal characteristics indicate that leaves will need to be picked up and Halloween costumes will need to be picked out. However, most Brunswick County fishermen know the leaves are not going anywhere and his or her costume will include a good pair of rubber boots and fishing bibs. It is safe to say fall is almost here.
Golf is alive and well in Brunswick County and I'm delighted.
Several years ago, it was a different story. The economy had tanked; golf rounds were down on the Carolina Coast and courses were closing here and there in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area. Bay Tee, Gator Hole, Ocean Isle Beach Golf Course and Calabash Links were gone.
My husband, Gene, and I had worked hard all our lives and we had built a great retirement home on the third hole of Brick Landing. Then that course went into bankruptcy and closed.
I have received several phone calls and emails concerning the future status on our fishery after all the freshwater runoff. The honest answer is I really don't know. We have gotten a tremendous amount of rain. There is water from inland flooding that will also have to make its way to the ocean. It probably will take weeks for things to get back to normal. The only good news I have is that this is the fall season. The big bull redfish were thick along the beach before this crazy event happened. I plan to go to the beach as soon as the rain clears to check things out.
I've known Landon Patterson since he joined The First Tee of Brunswick County eight years ago. He was cute, enthusiastic about golf and willing to learn and be a part of the program.
Today, Patterson is a senior at West Brunswick High School, the captain of its golf team and an honors student. He has led them to three straight state tournament appearances. He has been named first team all-conference the last two years.
He just returned from playing in the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.
Doris McLaughlin scored a hole-in-one Aug. 24 on the second hole at Panther's Run. She used a 7-wood on the 100-yard hole.

John Lent, Associated Press
Our take: In 1972, young Bobby Fischer wowed the world when he defeated Boris Spassky in the chess world championship. His victory and the buzz that washed over the U.S. like a wave arguably, yet briefly, changed the world. In his article written for Bloomberg, Stephen L. Carter argues that the way Bobby Fischer changed the world of yesterday would be difficult for today's society hyped up on sensational news and celebrity drama.
This summer marks the anniversary of an extraordinary moment in U.S. history: the 1972 match in which the American genius Bobby Fischer defeated the Soviet wizard Boris Spassky for the chess championship of the world.
The battle probably should have been just one more headline in an eventful three months that saw the Watergate burglary, the expulsion of the Soviet military from Egypt and the humiliating dismissal of vice presidential nominee Thomas Eagleton from the Democratic ticket. Somehow the story of Fischer and Spassky and their epic match, which ended 40 years ago this month, captured our attention in a way that no struggle of intellect has since.

Nationals select contract of INF Emmanuel Burriss, place INF Anthony Rendon on 15-day DL
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
by Amanda Comak
The Washington Nationals selected the contract of infielder Emmanuel Burriss from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and placed infielder Anthony Rendon on the 15-day disabled list with a left quadriceps strain, retroactive to June 25. Outfielder Reed Johnson was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Burriss, a Washington, D.C. native and a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in the Tenleytown neighborhood of Northwest D.C., joins the Nationals for his first Major League assignment since 2012 (San Francisco).
The 30-year-old infielder is coming off one of his finest professional seasons, posting a .300 average, .377 on-base percentage and .412 slugging percentage in 116 games for Triple-A Syracuse in 2014. In 62 games with Syracuse this season, Burriss is hitting .278 (66-for-237) with eight doubles, five triples, three home runs, 25 walks, 10 stolen bases and 21 RBI.
A versatile infielder, Burriss has Major League experience at all four infield spots (183 games at second base, 62 games at shortstop, eight games at third base and two games at first base), and has appeared in four games in the outfield as well. Over the course of his Minor League career, Burriss has primarily played shortstop (470 games) and second base (146 games).
Over parts of five Major League seasons, all with the San Francisco Giants, Burriss is a career .243 hitter with 14 doubles, one triple and one home run.
Rendon, 25, returns to the disabled list for the second time this season. The Nationals' dynamic infielder missed the first 52 games of the season as he worked through a left knee sprain as well as a left oblique strain. Rendon is hitting .290 (20-for-69) in 18 games this season with a .375 on-base percentage. He's clubbed five doubles, walked nine times, driven in five runs and scored nine runs.

Right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito and infielder Trea Turner have been selected to represent the Washington Nationals in the 2015 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, which will be played at 3:00 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, July 12th at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Giolito, 20, is considered by many, including industry experts Baseball America and MLB.com, as the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. He is the consensus top prospect in the Nationals' organization and is ranked by MLB.com as the No. 4 prospect and by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect overall. Giolito will participate in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game for the second consecutive season.
A first-round pick (No. 16 overall) in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, Giolito is 2-4 with a 2.71 ERA (18 ER/43.2 IP) in eight starts for the Potomac Nationals of the Single-A Carolina League. He has piled up 57 strikeouts (seventh in the Carolina League) and has allowed 51 hits against just 12 walks this season.
Giolito was named the Washington Nationals 2014 Minor League Pitcher of the Year after going 10-2 with an organizational-best 2.20 ERA in 20 starts for Single-A Hagerstown of the South Atlantic League. He led Nationals farmhands with 110 strikeouts and, following the season, was named the "Most Outstanding Pitcher" and the "Top Major League Prospect" in the South Atlantic League by MiLB.com.
Turner, 21, joined the Nationals organization on June 14, completing the Dec. 18, 2014 three-team trade in which Washington also acquired right-handed pitcher Joe Ross. In ten games since joining the Double-A Harrisburg Senators, Turner is 14-for-39 (.359) with four doubles, one triple, four RBI, four stolen bases and six runs scored.
He joined the Nationals after hitting .322 (73-for-227) with 13 doubles, three triples, five home runs, 35 RBI, 24 walks, 11 stolen bases and 31 runs scored in 58 games for San Diego's Double-A affiliate, the San Antonio Missions. He posted a .385 on-base percentage, a .471 slugging percentage and an .856 OPS along the way. Turner's .322 average ranked third and his .471 slugging percentage ranked tied for sixth in the Texas League at the time of the trade.
A first-round selection in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft (No. 13 overall), Turner entered the 2015 season rated as the No. 2 prospect in the Padres' chain and the No. 65 prospect in all of baseball, according to Baseball America. The same publication cited Turner as having the "Best Strike-Zone Discipline," and being the "Best Athlete" and "Best Defensive Infielder" in the San Diego Minor League system prior to the trade to Washington. He is currently ranked as the No. 51 prospect in baseball, according to MLB.com.
Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau, MLB.com, Baseball America and the 30 Major League Clubs, selected the 25 players currently on each team.

by Amanda Comak
The Washington Nationals returned from rehab and reinstated right-handed pitcher Stephen Strasburg from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday and optioned right-handed pitcher Joe Ross to Triple-A Syracuse. Strasburg will start for the Nationals on Tuesday night vs. Atlanta.
Strasburg returns to the Nationals after missing 21 games due to neck tightness. The right-hander, who tossed 5.0 innings in his lone rehab start, with Double-A Harrisburg vs. Richmond on June 17, allowed one earned run off four hits and six strikeouts while on rehab assignment.
Strasburg was 3-5 with a 6.55 ERA in 10 starts prior to landing on the disabled list on May 30. A career 46-35, Strasburg has posted a 3.25 ERA in 119 Major League starts.
Ross, 22, went 2-1 in three starts during the first Major League assignment of his career. The rookie right-hander followed up his MLB debut by pitching into the eighth inning in back-to-back starts. Over the course of his call-up, Ross posted a 2.66 ERA and an 11.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio (23 SO/2 BB).

by Amanda Comak
The Washington Nationals recalled outfielder Matt den Dekker from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday and placed first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day disabled list with left foot plantar fasciitis.
den Dekker, 27, joins the Nationals for the third time this season. A member of the Nationals' Opening Day roster, den Dekker appeared in four games for the Major League team, going 0-for-2 in two at-bats off the bench. He was also added last week as the 26th man for the nightcap in the Nationals' doubleheader split with Toronto, but he did not appear in the game.
In 47 games for Triple-A Syracuse this season den Dekker has hit .234 (41-for-175) with seven doubles, two home runs, 20 RBI, 16 walks and eight stolen bases.
Acquired from the New York Mets on March 30 in exchange for left-handed pitcher Jerry Blevins, den Dekker is a career .236 hitter with a .322 on-base percentage. He's hit 12 doubles, one home run and 11 stolen bases in 84 Major League games (212 at-bats).
Zimmerman, 30, is hitting .209 with a .265 on-base percentage and a .346 slugging percentage through 56 games this season. He's clubbed 12 doubles, one triple, five home runs, and driven in 34 runs.
Nationals Select Contract of RHP Joe Ross
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
The Washington Nationals selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Joe Ross, optioned right-handed pitcher A.J. Cole to Triple-A Syracuse, and moved right-handed pitcher Craig Stammen to the 60-day disabled list on Saturday. President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements.
Ross, 22, joins the Nationals for his first Major League assignment after going 2-2 with a 2.81 ERA (16 ER/51.1 IP) in nine starts for Double-A Harrisburg. He has struck out 54 while allowing 46 hits and walking 12 over those nine starts. At the time of his promotion, Ross ranked among Eastern League pitchers in ERA (T10th, 2.81) and strikeouts (4th, 54). His 54 strikeouts led all Washington Minor Leaguers while his 2.81 ERA was good for fourth.
Ross' most impressive start of the season came on April 25 vs. Reading (PHI) when he struck out eight batters in 7.0 innings of two-hit, shutout ball in Harrisburg's 7-4 win. In his most recent start on May 31 at Bowie (BAL), Ross allowed one earned run on three hits in 7.0 innings of work, striking out seven and not walking a batter in the 6-4 defeat.
Ross was acquired, along with a player to be named later, from the San Diego Padres in a three-team trade that sent outfielder Steven Souza Jr. and Minor League left-handed pitcher Travis Ott to the Tampa Bay Rays on December 18, 2014. He was originally selected by the Padres in the first round (25th overall) of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He is a native of Berkeley, California where he attended Bishop O'Dowd High School. Ross' older brother, Tyson, pitches for the San Diego Padres.
Prior to being acquired by the Nationals, Ross was rated by Baseball America as the No. 4 prospect in San Diego's chain. He went a combined 10-6 with a 3.92 ERA in 23 games/22 starts between Single-A Lake Elsinore and Double-A San Antonio in 2014. While with Lake Elsinore, he was named a California League mid-season All-Star and garnered California League Pitcher of the Week honors on May 5. He was promoted to Double-A in mid-July and, following the season, was rated by Baseball America as the No. 6 prospect in the Single-A California League.
Cole, 23, has appeared in three games for Washington (one start), notching one save in 9.1 innings of work.
Stammen, 31, was originally placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 15 with a right forearm strain. He was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in five games (4.0 IP) prior to his injury. Since transitioning exclusively to relief work in 2012, the versatile righty is 17-12 with a 2.89 ERA in 167 games (246.1 IP) for the Nationals.
Nationals reinstate INF Anthony Rendon and recall RHP A.J. Cole, option RHP Taylor Jordan and INF Wilmer Difo
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
The Washington Nationals returned from rehab and reinstated infielder Anthony Rendon from the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-handed pitcher A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. They optioned right-handed pitcher Taylor Jordan to Triple-A Syracuse and infielder Wilmer Difo to Double-A Harrisburg.
Rendon, 24, missed the first 53 games of the 2015 season recovering from a left knee sprain, and then a left oblique strain. He returns to the Nationals' active roster after eight total Minor League rehab games (five on his most recent assignment). Over the course of his rehab, Rendon hit .250 with three doubles, three RBI, three walks and one run scored in eight games for Double-A Harrisburg.
The Nationals' first-round selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Rendon is coming off a superb 2014 season in which he took home the National League Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award for third basemen and finished fifth in the National League Most Valuable Player Award voting.
Rendon, who is an exceptional defender at second and third base, hit .287 with 39 doubles, six triples, 21 home runs, 83 RBI, 58 walks and 111 runs scored in 153 games in 2014. The gifted infielder ranked fourth in the Major Leagues (second in the NL) in wins above replacement (6.6), according to FanGraphs.com, at the conclusion of the season.
Cole, 23, returns to the Nationals for his third Major League assignment of 2015. He has appeared in three games for the Nationals, recording his first career save on May 15 at San Diego. In six games for Triple-A Syracuse, he is 0-2 with a 3.26 ERA. Cole entered the 2015 season ranked as the Nationals' No. 6 prospect, and the No. 91 prospect in all of baseball, according to Baseball America.
Difo, 23, appeared in five games in his first big league assignment. The Nationals' No. 7 prospect and "Best Defensive Infielder" in Washington's system, according to Baseball America, went 1-for-5 during his call-up. He picked up the first Major League hit of his career in his first at-bat, a pinch-hitting appearance on May 19 vs. the New York Yankees.
Jordan, 26, appeared in two games for the Nationals during his second MLB stint of 2015. He went 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA, making one relief appearance and one start for Washington.
Nationals reinstate RHP Casey Janssen, place LHP Sammy Solis on 15-day DL
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
by Amanda Comak
The Washington Nationals returned from rehab and reinstated right-handed pitcher Casey Janssen on Friday and placed left-handed pitcher Sammy Solis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with left shoulder inflammation.
Janssen, 33, joins the Nationals' active roster for the first time this season after missing the first 41 games with right shoulder inflammation. The eight-year Major League veteran, who signed with the Nationals this past February, made six rehab appearances between Single-A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg. He allowed two earned runs in 5.2 innings pitched and held opponents to a .182 batting average.
No stranger to late-inning relief, Janssen brings 90 career saves to the Nationals' bullpen. The right-hander is a career 29-24 with a 3.52 ERA in 493.0 innings pitched, including five consecutive Major League seasons with an ERA of 3.95 or lower.
In 2014, Janssen was 3-3 with a 3.94 ERA over 45.2 innings pitched. From 2011-2013, however, Janssen was 11-2 with a 2.46 ERA while appearing in 173 games (102 games finished), racking up 58 saves, 170 strikeouts, and posting a 0.977 cumulative WHIP over 172.0 innings pitched. Before the All-Star break in 2014, Janssen was 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in 23 games (22 IP) with 14 saves.
Solis, 26, is 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA in five appearances. Called up for his first Major League assignment on April 29, Solis began his Major League career with six scoreless innings over three appearances, including his impressive Major League debut (2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 K), vs. the New York Mets on April 30 at Citi Field.
Nationals RF Bryce Harper wins NL Player of the Week again
Twitter: @Nationals | Facebook: Nationals | Instagram: @Nationals
by Amanda Comak
Following an historically powerful week with an encore that continued to solidify his place among the game's elite, Washington Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper earned his second consecutive National League Player of the Week award on Monday.
Harper went 12-for-23 (.522) over the last week, posting a .656 on-base percentage and a 1.087 slugging percentage, courtesy of two doubles, one triple, three home runs, nine RBI, nine walks, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases. In the month of May, Harper is hitting .411 with a .529 OBP and a .982 SLG.
Since the inception of the award in 1974, the Nationals' 22-year-old right fielder is just the 10th player in its history to take home back-to-back Player of the Week honors.
Harper joins Domonic Brown (2013: May 20-26; May 27-June 2), Andrew McCutchen (2012: July 2-8; July 9-15), Matt Kemp (2012: April 4-8; April 9-15), Troy Tulowitzki (2010: Sept. 6-12; Sept. 13-19), Jose Reyes (2006: June 12-18; June 19-25), Jason Bay (2006: May 15-21; May 22-28), Jeff Bagwell (1994: June 13-19; June 20-26), Tony Gwynn (1988: July 4-10; July 11-17), and Jason Thompson (1982: April 26-May 2; May 3-9) as consecutive winners.
Breaking Harper's splits down to just the last 11 games (since May 6), he is 22-for-39 (.564) with 22 RBI. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other player in the last 75 seasons to compile a batting average over .550 with at least 22 RBI in an 11-game span during a single season was Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Walker. Walker, who hit .571 with 22 RBI during 11 games in April, 1997, was the first to tally such gaudy numbers since Rudy York (.556, 26 RBI) did it for the Detroit Tigers in Sept. 1940.
Thanks to his torrid pace, Harper now leads the Major Leagues in the following categories: runs (36), RBI (37), walks (36), on-base percentage (.476), slugging percentage (.729), OPS (1.206), at-bats per home run (9.50), plate appearances per walk (4.72) and WAR (3.5 per Baseball Reference). He also leads the National League in home runs (14, 2nd in MLB) and intentional walks (5).
This is the second Player of the Week award of Harper's career, following last week's honors, and the 13th such honor for the Nationals organization.
He joins Jordan Zimmermann (Sept. 22-28, 2014; June 2-8, 2014), Adam LaRoche (Sept. 1-7, 2014), Jayson Werth (June 30-July 6, 2014), Ryan Zimmerman (July 16-22, 2012; Aug. 15-21, 2011; July 30-Aug. 5, 2007), Stephen Strasburg (June 7-13, 2010), Josh Willingham (July 27-Aug. 2, 2009), Cristian Guzman (Aug. 25-31, 2008), and Nick Johnson (May 31-June 6, 2005) as honorees.
Nationals recall RHP A.J. Cole, place RHP Doug Fister on DL

The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse and placed right-handed pitcher Doug Fister on the 15-day Disabled List with right forearm tightness on Friday. President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Cole, 23, entered the 2015 season ranked as the Nationals' No. 6 prospect, and the No. 91 prospect in all of baseball, according to Baseball America. The hard-throwing right-hander, who was added to the team's 40-man roster this past winter, joins the Nationals for the second time this season. He made his Major League debut April 28 at Atlanta (2.0 IP, 9 H, 9 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K).
Coming off a tremendous 2014 season, in which he posted a 13-3 record with a 3.16 ERA in 25 starts between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse, Cole is 0-1 with a 2.67 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Syracuse this season.
Cole, who owns a Minor League career strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.30/1, has struck out 8.9 batters per nine innings over the course of his Minor League career.
A fourth-round selection of the Nationals' in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Cole was traded to the Oakland Athletics in the six-player deal that brought left-hander Gio Gonzalez to Washington in advance of the 2012 season. The right-hander was then re-acquired by Rizzo in January of 2013, along with right-hander Blake Treinen and left-hander Ian Krol, in the three-team transaction that sent Michael Morse to Seattle.
Fister, 31, is 2-2 this season with a 4.31 ERA. Since being acquired from the Detroit Tigers in Dec. 2013, Fister is 18-8 with a 2.78 ERA in a Nationals uniform.

Cool coupe from Jaguar
Relevant offers
Road tests
Let's get rid of the bad stuff first, eh? The F-type V8 Coupe's throttle is too abrupt - I had to find a less sudden response by fiddling with the R-car's dynamic control button. It didn't take long to get it right.
The "S" and "R" badges are too brash for what is a classic design. The Jaguar F-type Coupe doesn't need chromy add-ons to tell you what it is, so the first thing I'd do when mine's delivered would be to prise off the chrome, red and green badges and stick them, not on another car, but on Trade Me - best place for 'em.
I can just about scratch up a few other complaints: the nose can scrape if you're not careful and the amazing noise the V8 emits - it's switchable from Nuneaton to Nascar via a rocker on the console, changing it from "bloody loud" to "ear-bleeding" - may not please close neighbours much.
That's about all, really, for this achingly beautiful motor car is capable of charming the socks off the harshest non-car enthusiast, in a way the F-type Coupe's roofless Roadster version never could.
In roadster circles you look at the driver, while in fixed-head coupe land, it's always the car.
Boulevardier-types can still be happy that they own one of the sexiest rag-tops available in the form of the F-type Roadster, while those who don't care if they're seen or not can revel in a better-looking car that's up to $15,000 less expensive (and when you look at the Jaguar brochure, there are plenty of things you can spend the difference on. Me, I'd opt for the full-length glass roof, blacked-out chrome window surrounds and some fancy versions of the company's array of hide and carbon-fibre cabin trim options).
Am I REALLY going to own one? Probably not, but if that long-delayed Lotto win does come through, a Jag will certainly be on the shopping list - an XF-Sports Estate as it happens, I might be just getting a little too old for the F-Type Coupe.
It's very much a younger person's car - for someone as fashionable, pretty or handsome as the car itself, which many argue is the best-looking Jag since the E-type. For me, who loved the E-type as much as everyone else when it was launched in 1961, I think the F-type looks even better.
It's a classic two plus zero coupe in the manner of the first Stingray, various eye-wateringly-priced Ferraris, the first Nissan Z-car (and only the first) and the most beautiful close-coupled coupe of all: Aston Martin's DB4 GT Zagato. It's surprising to some that a car as gorgeous as this hasn't been shaped by an Italian salon, but unless Jaguar design director Ian Callum is fibbing about his heritage, a Scot penned the lines of this coupe and if there's a case against Scottish devolution, this man's craft is reason enough.
For the New Zealand market, the F-type Coupe has two choices
of supercharged V6 engine, one with 250kW for $125,000, and another, badged the "S", with an additional 30kW for $140,000. The flagship car for the time being - there's more to come, I'm assured - is the $185,000 V8 R Coupe, which fronts up with 404kW - 40 up on the most powerful F-type Roadster - and it shortens horizons like no other production Jaguar before it.
You need to have your wits about you, as all those kilowatts - the equivalent of 550 horse power - are controlled by a throttle that reacts quickly (perhaps too quickly) to every twitch of your right foot.
That dynamic control button, which comes with the S-pack, as I found, can transform the Coupe's overall character by delivering firmer damper and steering rates, as well as quicker ratio changes to go with sharper throttle response. Push the chequered-flag switch and the car goes from feline docility to feral cat - just as the engine note suggests.
A second-generation Electronic Active Differential (EAD) conspires nicely with the Coupe's torque vectoring system, applying torque-braking to an inside drive wheel, to turn-in more crisply when drivers tend to understeer, such as when entering a bend too quickly. According to Jaguar, this enables the F-Type R Coupe to carry more speed into apexes and out the other side. I'd like some track-time with the V8 just so I can explore more thoroughly what these Jag chassis bods have done.
Oh, it's great fun, but even with some of the world's most advanced chassis electronics, the car's tail can break traction very easily. I selected the gentler mode and found that grit, gravel, rain and potholes had far less effect on the car, and I could turn into bends with much more confidence.
Then there's the noise. After my driving partner decided to show off when leaving, the restaurant at which I was lunching in rural Waikato received a call from a neighbour some distance away to ask, in no uncertain terms: "Who the heck was that?"
So my advice to anyone looking at the V8 is to take some track time to learn about its noisier, more lurid habits first. Its sound signature is addictive and hackle-raising, with that crackling distant thunder effect when throttlng-off and a fencepost-gargling 32-valve supercharged war cry when accelerating hard that suggests a "good ol' boy" heritage rather than its actual "decent chap" links to Jaguars of old.
So to the sixes. Bearing in mind that Jaguar hadn't made an eight at all until 20 years ago and that its sixes, both of them, have fifty-plus kilowatts more than even the old E-type's ultimate road-going 5.0-litre V12, they are not second-class citizens in the F-type Coupe line-up.
The 250kW V6 makes 100kmh in 5.3 seconds, with the 30kW more-powerful "S" ducking under five seconds, which is not that far off the 4.2 seconds of the V8 "R".
With the lighter V6 engines sprouting from the same firewall as the V8, it doesn't take a chassis engineer to understand that handling will be a tad more pleasant with the engine weight that little bit closer to the centre of the car.
And thus it proves, the initial reticence a driver might find from the thunderous V8 when turning into a bend is gone, understeer is far less evident and when it's time to accelerate again, all is sweetness and light. And while the S model has a similar sound-track switch as the V8's on its console, the note is far more mellifluous and less likely to upset or disturb the neighbours.
The truth is, that by throwing those naff badges away, there's only the two-pipe rear of the V6 to tell anyone you're not in the four-piped V8 anyway. That, and the soundtrack, of course.
All three Coupes are rewarding to drive. With a huge 80 per cent increase in torsional rigidity by having a fixed roof, instead of a by-definition more wobbly ragtop, the suspension has less to do than it does in the roadster. Thus its damping is able to do its job without helping out in terms of steadying the car, so ride quality is better than the Roadster's and the Coupe is far more forgiving over bumps.
The company's engineers have used the new rigidity to build even more dynamic capability into the Coupe, raising spring rates by 4.3 per cent at the front and 3.7 per cent behind to tighten body control and improve agility and steering precision because the car's stiffer core structure allows it.
Inside the F-type Coupe, there's more room for you and for your luggage, though the load area, despite being vastly better than the Roadster's, will require golfers to be creative in terms of equipment stowage.
Even with the special roof, the car's headroom is excellent, and with similar basic dash architecture to that of the Roadster, the Coupe cossets the driver in as much or as little hide, alcantara and faux carbon fibre as you'd like, with contrasting seating panels working well with the style of the exterior, where one box I'd tick is the one that replaces chrome with gloss black. Let's hope it's next to the S and R badge delete box - if there is one.
With a specification list that could easily add $10k to your car, there are technical and cosmetic options to beat the band for the F-type Coupe, and the ceramic brakes look good, as do the choices of wheels.
But even in the $125,000 V6 base car, Jaguar has everything pretty well-sorted, and with a hotter $140,000 V6 S and the earth-twisting V8 R at $185,000, potential Porsche Boxster and Cayman owners have for the first time a genuine alternative to consider, one that doesn't have to apologise to anyone. Unless you picked the V8 R that is, which could have you sending flowers to the neighbours if you switch on the thunder too often.
It's a wonderfully effective car that Jaguar couldn't have hoped to have built before new owners Tata of India loosened the purse strings.
Next up on the Jaguar development list is a 3-series sized XE sedan and Jaguar's first SUV, both made from aluminium like the XJ, XK and F-type and both likely to put some shock and awe into their market slots.

VA Grants Will Expand Transportation in Highly Rural Areas
July 11, 2014
Veterans to Have Easier Access to Health Care
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the White House Rural Council today announced the award of eight grants, totaling $815,051.50, which will improve access to health care for Veterans living in highly rural areas. The grants will assist over 11,000 Veterans in 7 states and 56 counties by providing up to $50,000 per highly rural area to fund transportation services for Veterans to and from VA medical centers and other facilities that provide VA care. The grants are part of a program authorized by Congress to help state Veterans Service Agencies (SVSAs) and Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) operate or contract for transportation services to transport Veterans to VA medical centers and other facilities that provide VA care.
In July 2013, VA began accepting applications for grants to help state Veterans Service Agencies and VSOs operate or contract for transportation services to transport Veterans to VA medical centers and other facilities that provide VA care. A new regulation establishes the program that will administer these grants. Transportation will be provided at no cost to Veterans.
"VA is committed to ensuring that all Veterans, including those who live in rural and remote areas, have access to the health care they have earned through service to our country," said Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan D. Gibson. "These grants will play a critical role in expanding access to VA healthcare for Veterans."
Organizations awarded the grants include:
Virginia Department of Veteran Services ($8,825.00 for one county in VA.) approximately benefiting over 89 Veterans;
American Legion Post 20 ($49, 764.00 for one county in S.D.) approximately benefiting 1,507 Veterans;
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8988 ($80,000.00 for two counties in CA.) approximately benefiting 849 Veterans;
Nevada Department of Veteran Affairs ($46,850.00 for one county in Nevada) approximately benefiting 1,285 Veterans;
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7202 ($150,000.00 for 13 counties in far west Texas) approximately benefiting 1,579Veterans;
Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs ($100,000.00 for two counties) approximately benefiting 1,756 Veterans; and
North Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs ($379, 612.50 for 36 counties in N.D.) approximately benefiting 5,477 Veterans.

Will Microsoft ever bother to squash this security bug?
There's a zero-day security flaw in Internet Explorer that's been known for at least the last 7 months , yet Microsoft has yet to release a patch. Perhaps it never will -- after all, IE8 is the last version of Microsoft's browser to support Windows XP, which itself is now an unsupported operating system . Alternately, Microsoft might just be having a really tough time with this one -- the Redmond outfit doesn't have a whole lot to say on the matter.
According to Zero Day Initiative , the vulnerability allows remote hackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. The exploit requires user interaction, in that the target has to first visit a malicious website or open up a malicious file. In either case, it could spell bad news for the victim.
So, what's going on with Microsoft?
"We build and thoroughly test every security fix as quickly as possible. Some fixes are more complex than others, and we must test every one against a huge number of programs, applications, and different configurations," a Microsoft spokesperson told CNET .
Understood, though a recent zero-day bug discovered in multiple versions of IE shortly after support for XP ended was patched by an out-of-cycle update in less than a week after its discovery.
