now, craig newmark, creator of craigslist. this is about 55 minutes. >> craig new2mark probably does not need much introduction, but because we will be on c-span, maybe more. it was created in 1995 and has grown to an online communities spanning almost 600 cities in 60 countries. craig continues to serve as a customer-service representative for craigslist. you should also note that he is a supporter of cfp. we advertised the conference for the first time on craigslist in san francisco. most importantly, craig is an advocate for internet freedom. i'm sure he will touch on some of the advances involving internet freedom, and craig has been involved. he has always been a principled stand, doing so notwithstanding the risks, so i am really thrilled that he is going to be having a conversation today. we have another person also very well known to this audience. saul hansell joined "the internet -- "the new york times" and examines business and technology and policy questions, so, craig, i am looking forward to an interesting and en

and that is six in a row for craig stammen. great grandma zim. >> bob: there is the latey right in front of the sign. that's a patriotic-looking group over there. we always hear about uncle sam. who is the aunt? >> rob: is it 4th of july? >> bob: getting there. here is reid brignac. on the 4th of july this year, the nationals will be home against the atlanta brave. >> rob: the home of the brave. >> bob: jo that will be a day game. that will be cool that day, 1:05. >> rob: remember homer the brave, the mascot, he fired the cannon shots. >> bob: i remember before him, chief nakahoma. >> rob: that's right, chief nakahoma. >> bob: he had the tent right there in fulton stadium. i'm pretty sure that's offensive now. >> rob: yes, it is. >> bob: third walk by craig stammen. here is a look at what the rays have done over the years as far as the draft. their current roster is full of guys they scouted, signed, developed and got to the major league. >> rob: and they dave up a first rounder in dellmont young for matt garza. so, remember, t

craig stammen has been able to do that. his numbers have not that impressive because he has given up five runs in the 1st inning but he shouldshut them down after that although he gave up a couple of hits, he was about gassed, 90 pitches. he was go bassed. he had done his job. >> johnny: tampa bay does lead the american league in homeruns, runs scored, runs per game. it goes on and on and on. there were some interesting plays in this ballgame. i'm going to show you a couple of them right now going back to the 22nd inning. >> ray: this play right here, rocket to right field. we will show you this play in slow motion as dukethrows home but zobrist, i believe, is out. that's one of the plate where he is out there a tag on him and his foot is now just coming down on the plate. we get to that see that real slow. joe west didn't. but josh has got to drop his knee right there in front of home plate. then the ground ball, he makes the play, nick picks up the ball. that ball is down to right field and a couple of runs are going to s

craig stammen, dealing, great movement on his pitches, 5 innings, 2 hits, 2 runs. three walks, three good walks, 5 k's. >> bob: 84 pitches, 50 strikes so far. and our pully, pully up. >> bob: hanrahan and villone. evan longoria 0-for-2 tonight drills it to center but right there is willie harris. >> rob: we've got a guy there. >> bob: one out. >> rob: i like the defense. >> bob: by the way, that's nine of the last so for craig stammen. our copyrighted telecast presented by authority of the washington nationals, may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form and any accounts or retrans mission of this game may not be disseminated without the expressed written consent of the washington nationals. next up, carlos peqa. not a wheel lot to show for the in-game box score for the hard hitting rays. >> rob: if he can get through the next two guys, it's huge. you won't see them again until the 8th or 9th inning, probably the 9th if craig can get them 1-2-3. you always think about that, where you turn the roster and where it's going to come back to haunt you. >> bob: sta

they did not get a lot of good swings off craig stammen. >> bob: nothing but fastballs. the fact that ross is hitting over the top of the ball means that craig's got some good, late movement on that number one. >> rob: i like that on their scoreboard they do both pitchers at the same time. >> bob: the pitch counts? >> rob: yes. everybody does it different. here in florida, they dough do both guys' pitch counts on their scoreboard at the same time. >> bob: they do some nice things here inbetween promos where they make fun of the visiting team. the nationals jerseys have been used for a puddle to walkover. >> rob: well, it covers the puddle like a gentlemanly thing. that's a foul ball by cody. >> bob: look out, buddy.

then, you have craig stammen who will make the start tonight. a couple starts ago, he was a master out there on the mound against the new york yankees and he had a tougher time against the boston red sox. between stammen and detwiler, final two pieces of the puzzle may be in place. maybe not. shairon martis went down to the minor leagues, but tonight an audition for possibly staying in the rotation. >> bob: with more on the rotation, debbi taylor. >> debbi: bob, craig stammen has faced tough lineups, the giants, mets and the yankees. i asked manny acta how much of a confidence booster that can be for him. >> i believe he has. the fact he has pitched against those clubs and what they will do to give us enough innings, give us a chance to win, i think it can only help them. i think it helps these guys haven't seen him. if he can get out there and pound that sinker in the strike zone like he's done in the past, he could give as you good outing here. >> debbi: manny would like to have him improve the second and third time through the lineup. opponen

continued success. >> thanks. >> great, young man, craig stammen. he won't go against the toronto blue jays. he'll go against the red sox next week. the video of ramon ramirez throwing his bat down after he struck out the look on his -- alex rodriguez throwing his bat down after he struck out the look on his face how dare you. do you know who i am? we'll be back at nationals park as we have a big, big night. look at this girl. nice to be back home to see if the nats can make it three straight. no problem. you kno, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on. ( ding ) >>> welcome back, everybody "nats xtra" pregame here on masn. some of the fans getting ready for the ballgame tonight at nationals park. should be a terrific, terrific crowd. let's take a look at the lineups tonight. first of all for

craig stammen, first k of the night to the opposing pitcher. get your red on and check out that grand slam flex plan. four games, you get a fifth one for nothing. your plan, your games games, pick them all. you can even pick your seats. it's that easy. 202-675-nats or nationals.com/grandslam. the red sox game no longer available on that package. we hope you joined us last week. that was a lot of fun. record crowds three consecutive nights. sheer coghlan with bases empty, two outs. struggling mets are in milwaukee again tonight. they've lost four straight and they're three back of the phillies. johan santana, he has 14 decisions. he's 9-5 going into that game. 3.08 the santana e.r.a. now probably double what it was in the first five weeks of the season. 2-0 to coghlan. these marlins are 2 1/2 back of the phillies. and out to center field. elijah dukes just cruising over. the 1-2-3 you're hoping for at the bottom of the order. whaling josh willingham leads off for the nats. he's been hot lately and he's on a six-game hitting streak. 1-1 after thr

i mean, my email address is really craig@craigslist.com. email in the afternoon pacific coast time, otherwise, it will get lost. seriously, that is my email. i answer everything, unless the person is, let's say, being in an unfavorable manner, and i have to pick up the customer service request to my boss. remember, i act as a customer service rep, not manager as customer service. sometimes, we have the opportunity to do the right thing, and we will do it. but we are always listening to our community as to what the right feedback is, as to what the feedback directs us to. >> do you see it, changing the name "erotic services" to "adult services," and charging a fee? >> that is what the community wants. i do not think i can speak for them. >> picking fights with the attorney-general -- with the attorney generals, hal do you see craigslist in society, and why is it -- how do you see craigslist in society, and how is it that you want to be filing suits like that? >> we do respond inappropriate ways. >> and that is appropriate because? >> because

kind of an interesting news coming down last night about the situation involving craig stammen who had started seven games, now he goes to the bullpen for the nats. >> i'm really happy for him. i thought he threw well enough to remain up here and i think it was the right decision to make. he can throw the ball over the plate. he's got the curveball, change- up, that sinking fastball, and i know that he's going to go out there and be able to throw the ball over the plate. he's our first true long guy that we've had here since i've been here. davey johnson used to call him the 6th starter. he was a guy in a anytime the game got out of hand early, you had somebody to come in there and not only eat up innings, but keep you close. i think he can do that. he's had some minor league appearances, with a great earned run average. what was he pitching then? >> pitching, in college at university of dayton. >> and craig was asked about being sent to the bullpen, his reaction, did he like it or is he not too thrilled about it? >> glad to still be here, i guess. obviously you want to stick around as

it will be craig stammen for the nationals against matt garza. hey. don't move. for the next minute, i'm gonna show you what it's like to have verizon fios. these are your widgets, they let you put whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, even your news up there. i've got a news flash you're out of mayo. how did you get in here? door was open. you'd have tons of ways for you to search for content: by actor, director, any word at all. what about chicken? chicken's fine. any word. no i mean do you have any chicken? i want to eat some chicken. one of the coolest things you can do with fios... ...is stream your music and your photos from your computer to your tv. slideshows look and sound better than ever. and now is the best time to upgrade to fios all the time. want to tell them why? i do not. because you'll get up to $150 dollars back and over 100 hd channels when you upgrade to verizon fios. call the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 800.974.6006 tty/v i will now return you to your program and unfortunately f

one thing with craig, he is working too hard. instead of trying to throw perfect pitches, visualize a ground ball here, double play. visualize popping a guy up, be a little bit more economical. already up to 37 pitches, bottom of the 2nd inning. >> bob: here a guy hitting well with runners in scoring position but not with power. and a 2-2. got him looking with a fastball. that was on the up and in quadrant of the strike zone and a big one for stammen, his second k. >> rob: craig stammen here, he nails the inside part of the plate on the 2-1 pitch and then 2-2 comes right back on the northrup grumman pitch track. a two-seam fastball on the inner side. >> bob: now dioner navarro who is only hitting .202 at the plate. >> rob: he was one of the best young catchers in the league. >> bob: signed by the yankees from venezuela. he came here via a trade. >> rob: dodgers gave up on him too much. >> bob: zimmerman can't get there. >> rob: i think the dodgers prefer russell martin's offense better than they like navarro's defense. >> bob: th

longoria overmatched by craig stammen. that's a big strikeout. two down. straight change that went down and in to the right hander. you don't usually associate right handed to right handed. he is happy at the end of --

now, craig has struggled through the line-up the second and third times through. the numbers say it all. their opponents are hitting .250 and .415 against him. that is definitely factored into the decision. before the game as a starter, craig told me he wants to work on his mental approach and he also wants to pitch backwards more and that should apply to the bullpen as well. who gets sent out? the likely candidates are colome and joel hanrahan. to me, colome is older, joel has more of an upside and he's younger, so expect colome to be designated for assignment. >> bob: thank you. big news for the nationals bullpen as we approach the bottom of the 7th here at camden yards. both of those pitchers have struggled mightily. hanrahan probably slightly more struggling than colome lately. here's tavares for a second inning, facing jones, markakis and huff. >> jim p.: he certainly hasn't struggled. talking about tavarez. >> bob: that ball is jacked to center, willie harris is after it. and he'll run it down. that's indicative of the center field he's played for the nation

like craig stammen against the yankees. they couldn't hate ball hard off him. it doesn't matter velocity. it's movement versus the differential between your breaking balls, your change- ups. keep them off balance. they can't hit you. >> bob: centering the ball like adam dunn found out last night. you can go a long time without centering the ball. threw him a strike. right on to nick for the first out here in the seventh inning. bob carpenter, rob dibble, debbi terrell. our nationals version of our masn crew reunited here after a couple of our guys had the weekend off. we were working with the baltimore crew. great to have them back. here's cody ross with one out in the bottom of the 7th. the orioles came in here last week and were swept by the marlins. so our wise guy stage manager/stats man paul newman indicated to me that the marlins are 9-0 on masn this year. time to do something about that. >> rob: time to break that streak. i remember the yankees were 23- 0 allowing three runs or less to their opponent. >> bob: and the nats got them twice, didn't they? of

craig stamen told me something interesting today. he was very upset at himself for not getting through six innings last night. he got longoria to line out in the sixth last night, gave up a couple of hits and manny took him out, that was still chafing at him when i ran into him this afternoon. i like that about craig. he was not happy pitching only 5 1/3 innings. dukes into right center. that will be run down by b.j. upton. p boss: so you've been doing a nice job out there helping people save money on car insurance. gecko: aw thank you, sir. boss: but i think there are a few other things you can say about what a reliable company geico is. gecko: right. uh, well maybe how geico's the third-largest car insurance company in america? nice tidbit there. boss: exactly. and i've been thinking, looking a bit more businesslike might help too. gecko: oh my. uhhh, no it's, what's, what's the word... vogeico. 15 minutes could save you 15 percent or more on car insurance. >> bob: beautiful sunset looming out over the g

greg craig will talk about getting things done in washington. while we wait, more about health care. major provisions of the draft health care bill offered by house democrats today would impose new responsibilities on individuals and employers to get coverage in the insurance company practices that the -- that deny coverage to the sick. here is senate majority leader hit -- harry reid talking about health care today. >> as the debate escalates over health care, it is easy to become sidetracked by misrepresentation or attempted to point fingers. when we do those things we lose sight of what is at the heart of this effort. this debate in this reform. i want to take just a moment to remind all of us with this is all about, the health care debate. it is not -- it is about hardworking americans, because they are to often casualty's of or broken health care system and deserve better than to be casualties of misleading politics. for those without health care, this is a critical crisis that affects children, families, small-business is, big businesses,

craig fugate. let me say that this hearing is focused on hurricane response because we started hurricane season the this week. but we will be examining issues that affect not just the hurricane region but all regions of the country in this hearing today and we will be focusing on plants and processes that actually have applicability across the board for many different types of threats the hurricanes, earthquakes, , etc. the ranking member and i both represent states that have seen a large portions of our states, a major cities and very important role areas devastated by recent hurricanes. 2004, 2005 and 2008 were particularly hard years for cities and communities throughout the gulf coast from florida to texas. but the last century has been difficult for many, many states. i would like to put the first chart up. >> host: number of hurricanes that have hit this particular region of the country, which is the hurricane belt 1955 through 2005. the blue line is hurricane katrina which was the greatest a

when he made those two plays, that sent a message to craig stammen i don't have to be afraid to let this lineup with all these stars hit the ball. >> rob: absolutely. it gives you confidence that if you make a mistake rand somebody hits the heck out it have like say a-rod in the seventh inning, somebody will be there to pick it up and catch t if you make an error, you're on the other side to pick them up. that's what teamwork is all about. wrarz, -- willie harris, that was one of the best catches i've ever seen. >> bob: yeah, aaron hill struck out first time up. with a little investigative reporting, debbi, i assume that was shaving cream and not whip keep last night. >> debbi: it was shaving cream. i told the guys you need to invest in whip cream because it will not sting the young pitcher's eyes. >> rob: that is a time-honored tradition. it's shaving cream pies. >> debbi: come on. use ready whip. >> rob: i would love ready whip. you know those shaving cream bombs you get right in the face when you're playing. >> bob: here is aaron hill. >> rob: we have to do the three man lift for you.

as someone who has been associated with the field for more of a quarter of a century craig and his something management team are the most diverse, qualified and hands-on group to occupy the senior seats of this agency. this is bolster by its group in the parent organization the department of homeland security. it gives me optimism and it should give optimism to americans that the federal government is continuing to reform and improve in its ability to support communities and states in dealing with emergencies and disasters of all kinds. but to be fair, however, even with this great leadership team, the federal government is but one part of america's preparedness equation. federal readiness should not imply national readiness. other parts local and state government, nonprofits, the private sector and american citizens have equally compelling and important roles in all aspects of a community's. in all aspects of communities not just government agency we need to make sure that the entire community is ready for the hurricane season. our recent work with the private sector relative to the flu out

i'm craig banister with cnsnews.com. my question was -- i saw fromyz mu your bio you found your own marketing company. do you have any lessons learned of that process of self-evaluation these are my skills and taking thatqÑ lip, tt risk that you talked about. >> exactly right. and, craig, as i said i sold books door to door during the summers to work my way through college. and then went to work full-time for that company when i finished college in 1973. and they had this nepotism law and i was marrying a guy that worked with thezn company so g what? the woman had to leave. i'm sure many of you remembered those days and went to work with another company. had children decided i wanted to hang out a small business shingle. and it was a sole proprietorship and worked with companies helping get them to place their products or their ideas, move them forward. i think as you do that, as you take that jump into small business -- and my shingle was hung out during 1980, a really bad economic time. but i thought if i fail, i fa

wong on wednesday, 105 day game thursday, craig stammen and chamber land. we would be in line to see ryan friday. >> bob: a strike to corey patterson. >> rob: two of the three times corey patterson has been at the plate today he's hit rockets. one was the one hopper caught by pena. >> bob: still looking for his first nats hit after four at bats. it's another rocket. that one hooks foul. get there. it was a hot potato nobody in the bullpen could catch either. >> rob: nice swing here. down and away. reaches out. 31-year-old dan wheeler, second year with tampa bay. second full season. 70 games last year. 70 the year before, two-thirds at houston before coming here. he's a guy that likes to get the ball several times a week. patterson reaching on a two strike pitch. misjudging it. kapler is everywhere. [cheering and applause] >> bob: 25,481 here at tropicana field. they had a big crowd last night for the ludacris concert. that first number they did was something. it's the only one i heard. >> rob: after that you were deafened. >> bob: what? what? what? bases em

we talked a little about craig stammen going to the bullpen on our pregame show. you now the word is he will start tuesday in florida against the marlins. >> just explain that, martis was pitching. report came that stammen was going to be stay here. and so they say he's going to the bullpen. maybe they've changed their mind with martis, possibly if stammen is going to start, i don't know what martis is going to do. there hasn't been a real announcement yet. i know he has options. >> stammen, as you see, the big win, his first career major league victory over the yankees on june 18 at yankee stadium. martis to triple-a columbus. which we don't have. >> we don't have column business anymore. >> shows you how quickly this game can change. i don't think martis had any chance of going down until his outing last night, because we were thinking colome because of the option situation was the guy, but we would problem pobly have lost him. by doing this you don't lose coal loam, martis goes down there and gets straightened out a little bit. >> tomorrow night we hope you'll

craig stammen did well against the bats, not so well against the speed. tomorrow, jordan zimmerman back in the line-up. the game starts at 6:05 but we cannot join you live until 7:05. >> rob: 13 against righties, 6 against lefty for peqa this year. >> bob: shift is on. zimmerman is the only defender on the third base side. anderson hernandez is in a very interesting position. if you threw a line to home plate to him, 2 wouldn't miss nick johnson by much. there is still a wide gap between hernandez and cristian guzman. he was all locked up there and that's strike 2. ron villone, total deception. and way ahead in the count. pretty good success against ron villone, .333. ron must have hung him a breaking ball somewhere. >> rob: much like aubrey huff. aubrey huff has his number. he tried to get him out with a breaking ball, cutter, fastball. >> bob: does he attack on 0-2? and a breaking ball away. bottom of the 7th inning. nats still have outhit the rays, 7-6. 3-3 game. washington has not scored since the 1st and the rays have chipped away with singles in the

. >> rob: took craig stammen five starts into his sixth start to get that first big league win against a very tough yankees offense. hopefully, ross detwiler can do the same now against the toronto blue jays. get up for the competition, so to speak. nice job last night. >> bob: last time a team pitched that well in new york against the yankees was the rangers at the end of june last year. they gave up three earned runs in a series winning one -- one run in each game and the nationals did just as well and took 2-3. no runs last night. two runs on wednesday. i think the nats also gave up two unearned runs in game one the night before. this ball will be out of play to the right side. alex rios, 0-3 tonight.  >> bob: that's a go low strike. the count is even #-2 with one out. >> rob: just at the knees from josh bard. sometimes when you put the -- pull the ball back up, the umpires won't call the strike because you moved your glove too much. >> bob: 19 runners stranded in a 1-1 game. first team to breakthrough and gate two-out hit is going to win

craig stammen goes tomorrow night. >> rob: we talked about trading prospects for some players and matt garza came over in the dell mon young

then the nats and the marlins with craig stammen. this has been a presentation of masn. >>> as advertised, welcome back. "nats xtra post-game." along with the silver fox, ray knight, johnny holliday. happy to have you with us. a game looked leak the nationals were going to finally stop that streak of winless games against the fish down there in the sunshine state, but not to be. walks came back to haunt this club. >> bullpen a little bit. early offense jumped out there, then not able to sustain it. didn't have a lot of offense after that fifth inning. he's pitched really well, in all the games but two that he's started. he has the ability to punch people out. threw a lot of pitches in good spots. they pitch extremely well. we hit some balls decently, just not enough offense. they were able to put it together and do something. >> you talked about, walked nobody tonight. defining moment in this ballgame came in the 8th inning. it was a 2-2 ballgame at that point. wes helms facing ron villone. >> nolasco gets a 3-0 count, he works himse

craig stammen back in the rotation, he'll pitch tomorrow. jordan zimmermann on wednesday. then the braves are in for three. make your ticket plans for the weekend. we will ring in the fourth, and then it's on to colorado and houston prior to the all-star break. the nats have a stretch of a bunch of road games here. that's 13 out of 16 games on the road, starting last friday at baltimore. >> rob: i hope colorado cools off because they've won 22 of their last 29. >> bob: that's a managerial change that worked. arizona didn't, colorado did. >> rob: they're now five games over .500. it can be done. >> bob: 0-2. no swing says james hoye. this is fun to watch this one over and over again. so easy. almost took a window off our masn office. and a breaking ball, see ya. strikeout number five for ricky nolasco. he's really warming things up after the nats got him for two in the second. >> rob: you throw one this good, he's frozen, he knows he can't pull the trigger on that one. adam will walk back to the -- to the dugout. >> bob: with two strikes you can not be looking for that pitc

. >> jim: craig breslow comes often he was picked up by the twins on the 20th and pitched very well since joining the athletics. and one thing you look at, buck, with relievers who come into games with an inning, how many of the first batters does he retire. he has faced 9 and retired eight of those. >> buck: and one of those came last night in the 8th inning when he struckout nick markakis looking and gave up base hits to adam jones and luke scott. but that's the line drive off the bat of aubrey huff. >> jim: ahead of nick, 0-1. and a chance to do something here. the bullpen has kept it a ballgame. and giving credit to brian bas and and matt albers were outstanding today. here is the 0-1. davis on the run and he makes the catch as that ball curled back, markakis hit that ball right on the nose. the orioles strand two. bottom of the 8th, the athletics hanging on to a 3-0 lead. with the calendar, i can schedule all my payments. and when funds are low, danger days help me stay out of the red. i can also transfer money with just a click and a drag. so maybe i'm better with money than i

craig stammen, a real battle, 90 pitches in 5 1/3 and matt garza threw 104 pitches. the nats got hmm out before he could finish 6 innings. willie harris, 0-for-3 matching up with j p howell. >> rob: the third. >> bob: willie harris is 1-for- his last 14. alberto gonzalez running for adam dunn, still at third with two outs. a little bit up and in, 2-1. almost looked like a backup breaking ball. >> rob: he overthrew that. >> trying to hit that right- hand corner there, look at him coming over the top of the strike zone, pulling at that thing down a little more. looked like he slapped it into left. >> bob: carl crawford playing real shallow in left field. that's a running fastball that probably started off the plate and then came back to the outside corner, 2-2. that's an emergency hack by willie harris. >> rob: staying alive, baby. >> bob: josh bard, if it goes any further. a lot of cow bells making noise here on a friday night. 2-2 to willie harris. he tried that same fastball again and missed outside. here. >> rob: here is the pitch coming up, 2-2 pitch, trying to go

combination of military action, political action and diplomacy, trying to change the mix and gradually x craig -- extricate ourselves from that conflict. i doubt that will succeed. this president's having inherited a mess has a right to try to fix the situation. that is what the american people elected him to do. this bill provides the financing to do that. it added funding to the imf. people from the other side of the aisle have complained about this. in 1999, the last time we voted on this, the majority party then with our friends on the other side of the aisle at the imf to the transportation bill. 162 republicans voted for it. abided interesting that today with the new president, they are not providing that support. under the gi education proposal bill it had one remaining gap that needs to be filled. that legislation said that if you serve your country in the military for a certain time frame you could benefit education benefits. if you did not use them yourself, you could convert them to the use of your spouse or your children. this bill closes the gap. the one thing that the bill did no

if the% of craig which sells a lot would add 25 -- a 50% upgrade sound like a lot, but would be only $25,000 more. it is very modest. a primary care extension program has been proposed. it would help translate new findings in new ways of doing business, including better organizations and practices. it is something worth considering. the final activity i would like to see is a national commission level of an advisory committee. i think this is a great start.

nationals are going to go with craig stammen. >> ray: he has been able to pitch well. he gave up five runs in the 1st inning but he has been out there throwing strikes. good sinker. fastball. he can get up to 93. good curve ball. 12-6. this is just his 5th start. he has gone at least 5 innings. his ball moves all over the place, garza. 11-9 last year with 188 innings. he has given up a homerun in every one of his last 6 outings. but he is a guy that throws the ball through the corners with a lot of velocity. straight over the top. nice guy to hit if you like four-seam fastballs. >> byron: the nationals face the world championing in the phillies and now they get the a. l. champions. stammen should be loose and ready to go. >> ray: always feels better to win. that flight will be really good. some guys can relax, smile. you know and play some cards and just in some cases maybe just get some rest. it is hard to rest when you lose all the time. >> sights and sounds, ray good job, >> ray: thank you. >> the reds get ready -- the nationals get ready for the tampa bay rays. big

craig venture, the beach bum, instrumental in giving the world the first map of the human genome, was born in 1946. school board... out of his mine and a fancy punished by driving his teachers crazy and staggered through junior high school, staggered out of school into a buck private -- into vietnam where he became a medical corpsman and there he learned to despise bureaucracy and got the shock of his life with heads and hands laying all over the place and that shocked him into a solidly responsible life. his book "a life decoded" has only been out a couple of months and is certainly worth reading. franklin delano roosevelt had a c-average in high school. and a c-average in college. john f. kennedy had a c-average in high school, and a c-average in college, the next one won't surprise you, george w. bush had a c-average in high school, and a c-average in college, but this might surprise you. bush's c-average was one point higher than senator john kerry's c-average! [laughter]. >> al gore flunk gd out of his first college. and squeaked through his second. with a c-minus average. dick c

jeff craigs explained this very well to his counterparts in the senate. host: what did he say? caller: the united states has never lost one penny on loans to the imf. the imf needs money to loan to developing countries. basically this is electronic money. it is not printing u.s. paper money and sending it to the imf. the european banks are not involved in this whatsoever. so i think c-span should start giving iq test to commentators to see if they have one. guest: i will tell you that i think you have a couple of the details wrong. number one, it is a loan to the imf. they are counting that it will be about $5 billion. if the loans go bad, you go bad. you have to pay the full value of the loan. they usually loan through banks, and in this particular situation and as in most imf situations, they are recourse loans. they countries have to pay them back. -- the countries have to pay them back. and the countries have to decide what they are going to do in terms of being offering -- in terms of offering social services. if you read the schock doctrine, it makes it very easy to under

rob will have more on craig stammen who is mamaking art. his last uteing was not very od on sunday, was it? ro no. >> bob: b. j. upton who only has an on-base average of .307. byron kerr handing me a note and we'll knock on wood for this one. rays9-22 when the rays have scored first butve not had an at-bat yet. >> rob: and they do have the top offense inthe american league. >> bob: they have scored more runs than the nats have given up. that's a lot. >> rob: you came back on fire. >> bob: you know,

longoria overmatched by craig stammen. that's a big strikeout. two down. straight change that went down and in to the right hander. you don't usually associate right handed to right handed. he is happy at the end of -- joe maddon is upset. something is not happy. actually, joe west is not happy, telling joe maddon something about it. >> bob: there is a strobe light just beyond the pool in right center where the ray is swimming. it's either that. >> rob: i think that's what it is. >> bob: it's either that or people taking pictures out there and their flash bulb are popping up toward home plate. it's not right in the hitter's line of sight, but a right handed batter, if you look just off center, out there, that's the people taking pictures of the ray. >> rob: how can you not take pictures of those cute little rays? >> bob: they are adorable. >> rob: so if it the player gets blinded and strikes out and he plays for your home team? >> bob: i bet the marketing department never thought of that one. they could put a sign that says, flash photography only if you a

we were going to have greg craig on the panel tonight. it is tough in the white house counsel's office. he is not yet in witness protection, but he had an unavoidable conflict so he will not be with us this evening, so i regret that. but he is with us in spirit. so let me start. in honor of her role as the former executive director of the american constitution society, i will start with lisa. i want to ask you a two-part question. the first part is, you have been the executive director of the american constitution society and you have now been the white house staff secretary. we know which one is harder. you have to answer which one is more fun. when your done with that, last year i think at this conference, if you ask anyone in the audience, probably everyone assumed if a democrat was elected president, he would close guantanamo. he has pledged to do that. you might want to reflect a little bit on why you think there has been so much resistance to that, particularly on capitol hill. most of the people in theoom would have thought that he

the move is becoming increasingly familiar for embattled republicans including ted stevens and larry craig. they're going before the conference to discuss their situations. also, related to the shakeup in the republican leadership, we have been talking about shannon there john finan -- we will be talking about senator john thune. and the alaska senator is seeking to be the vice chair as john will move up to the policy chair in the senate and leadership. next is greg from virginia. good morning. caller: yes, i think it is a little -- i am disgruntled. it seems like we are putting all the money into the financial institutions or the stimulus package has focused on financial institutions when their product is money. so we are giving them their product. they were not good at managing their product. the money would have been better used had it been given to citizens to stimulate the economy. people don't have money to spend. if it would have given some of that money back to the people, then the people could use it. but it seems like this a administration is in support of big business when that

.  >>> although craig stammen is in the bullpen today, if he comes out of the bullpen and pitches, it will be as if it's a side session. he is scheduled to pitch tuesday, in florida. now, with the struggles that shairon martis has had lately, it makes sense for stammen to stay in the rotation, a move will be made after the game. we will have all the details for you on "nats xtra." in other news, the nats walked minor leaguers with the seattle mariners. for infielder mike morris. >> bob: thank you. ryan langerhans had d so succleague level. right now the number one national, they're thinking about, is john lannan. six nings, one run on four hits. he's given up three walks and the orioles only made him pa for one of those, as he walked the lead-off man in the first, second and thel face luke scott salazar and matt witr he in the orioles 7th. >>im p.: don't you think he's pitching the way he's pitched all june? >> rob: even going back farther, when he started to really step up as the acof the staff, there was a couple ogames where he was getting 3 and 4 double plays in

paul craig will grow and germany. he loved storks. it was bad luck to kill a start in northern europe. * christian andersen had a folk tale about the store, that babies were brought by storks. as a teenager he arrived in florida right across from pelican island where roosevelt's day. he saw people slaughtering the birds. paul started independently taking a shotgun and pointing it at people who would dare to approach to slaughter the birds. he became the pelican water. he was considered a bid of eight cook. he was a legendary person. he became the first game warden and florida to stop the sev feather wars. the federal government wardens, two were murdered down there. i write about the murder of a man named bradley in my book, but there were two -- is the first guy roosevelt is putting their. it was a feather mufti of the women's fashion. paul stayed on the job anyway. i went to his ancestors' home in florida. they showed me his first bad, theater roosevelt's that she gave him -- roosevelt's badge he gave them as a game warden. he lived
