""My favorite baseball team is the New York Mets," Christie said, which was met with a mixture of cheers and jeers from the Samsel Upper Elementary School children.
"See, now, these are probably Yankees fans, right, that are booing," Christie continued. "Are those Yankees fans that are booing?
"OK, here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans: The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us. We root for this awful team that never wins and yet the Yankees fans boo us. I don't understand that."

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett Medical Center will host a rally in support of Ballot Amendment 2 — aimed at improving statewide trauma care — on the front lawn of its Lawrenceville campus Thursday.
Only 16 of Georgia's 152 acute-care hospitals are designated trauma centers, with common sentiment being that 30 in strategic locations would be needed to adequately address trauma needs in reasonable time across the state. Amendment 2 would add a $10 car tag fee dedicated to funding trauma care. "Access to trauma care is a matter of life and death, but providing trauma services is very expensive," Gina Solomon, GMC's trauma program manager, said in a statement. "It requires financial commitment on the hospital's part to have surgeons available 24-7, neurosurgeons on call and to provide the advanced training for nurses and other clinical staff." Of the estimated 40,000 cases of trauma each year in Georgia, only about 10,000 are treated in designated trauma centers each year, leading the state's trauma death rate to be 20 percent higher than the national average. Thursday at 11 a.m., Gwinnett Medical, which is a designated trauma center itself, will host its "Yes 2 Save Lives" rally in support of the cause. "Rapid response by trained pre-hospital providers in ground and air ambulances is critical," Solomon said. "So is the distance to the nearest trauma center." For more information or to RSVP for the event, call 678-312-4333.More like this story

Secluded Cottage at Water's Edge with 15 Forested Acres
You sent a message to this owner.
- Minimum stay:4 nights

- Wheel chair accessible:No
Sullivan cottage description
This secluded oceanfront cottage is located on Long Cove in Sullivan, Maine. The quarter-mile dirt driveway leads directly from US HWY 1 through 15 forested acres to the water's edge. The 1,100 foot shoreline is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including eagles, ospreys, seals, deer and the occasional red fox. This family retreat has served as a honeymoon cottage as well as a favorite vacation spot for family and friends.
Nestled between two groves of evergreens, the cottage's wrap-around deck and two large picture windows give visitors the chance to relax and witness the quiet of the cove, watching the changes that unfold as the tides rise and fall. Walks along the rocky beach at low tide and following paths through the woods are just what the doctor ordered to combat the stress of a hectic life. The sunsets are exquisite, and on a clear night the sky is so full of stars that it can be a challenge to identify the constellations amid the Milky Way. A birder's paradise and a historical piece of Sullivan history, the property is part of the Frenchman Bay Conservancy and is preserved as is for future generations to enjoy.
The surrounding area is renowned for hiking, biking, kayaking, sightseeing, antiquing, and visiting artists' studios. Nearby family restaurants that are favorites of the locals offer lobster and other Down East specialties. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are 45 minutes to the southwest, and Winter Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula is 30 minutes to the northeast.

Maine Getaway on the Cove
Maine Getaway on the Cove
- Guest Anne O.
- Date of stay 06/29/13
- Review Submitted 09/03/13
We enjoyed our week in this lovely house on the cove. It was a secluded area with a nice porch that was perfect for breakfast or evening drinks while watching the sun set. The house was well equipped with a full kitchen, washer and drier. The afternoons could get hot and the two small fans were very appreciated. We also really enjoyed having 2 bathrooms, a luxury we don't have at home. We loved being a short drive from Ellsworth and Bar Harbor, and went exploring in different directions many days. I also want to mention how easy it was too book, check in and out, and how kind Susan is in supplying information before our trip and the brochures and info in the house. Cleonice/The Maine Grind in Ellsworth became an almost daily stop for excellent coffee. All around, it made for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation spot.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Happy to hear you enjoyed your vacation at our cottage, Anne. We may need to provide an additional fan or two considering how much warmer this summer has been. Hope to hear from you in the future.

Lovely cottage on a peaceful cove
Lovely cottage on a peaceful cove
- Guest S. & S. (Portland, OR)
- Date of stay 07/22/13
- Review Submitted 08/13/13
We spent two weeks here at the end of July. The house is on a huge piece of property that makes it very private and peaceful. It has the perfect location -- close proximity to Acadia and the beautiful Schoodic Peninsula, yet still with a pleasant out-of-the-way feeling. Between hikes in Acadia, we spent a couple of days just relaxing at the house, enjoying the view and watching the tide go in and out (and the wild life with it). We discovered it is right next to an amazing breakfast/lunch restaurant that we went to over five times! The house is well taken care of, it had been cleaned spotless before we arrived. It is well equipped, with a washer/dryer, dishwasher, and has a well-stocked kitchen (especially for those delicious lobster dinners). It is perfect for either a week at a quiet getaway relaxing, or an adventure filled sight-seeing vacation. We would love to return!Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: So glad you could experience some of our favorite activities in the area, Susannah. We look forward to opening our door to you again in the future!

We really enjoyed our week at this cottage. The house was spacious and comfortable, and it was as well-equipped (including the kitchen) as any vacation house we have rented. The kitchen and bathroms were immaculate when we arrived. The living area and deck have a lovely view of Long Inlet, and we enjoyed watching the rise and fall of the tide, as well as the wildlife. We explored Mount Desert Island, Schoodic, and the Blue Hill Peninsula while we were staying here. Above all, we enjoyed the quiet setting in the woods, well removed from the nearest neighbors. Highly recommended!Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: So glad you could enjoy one of our favorite places to relax, Brock. Thank you for the suggestion of having 2 keys available for our guests. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future...it is a wonderful place to view the fall foliage, as well!

Owner info
About the owner: Living too many miles from Maine, siblings Jim and Susan decided to make this special place on Long Cove in Sullivan, Maine, available to vacation renters during part of the year. Throughout their childhood, the owners spent two weeks of every summer together with their family at the Sullivan home of their maternal grandfather, affectionately known as 'Bumpa.' The current cottage was built in 1971 on the wooded lot across U.S. Highway 1 from the original homestead. Those family vacations left us with wonderful memories, such as: • riding with 'Bumpa' in an open 1946 Willys Jeep to the corner store for comics and ice cream before breakfast • swimming at Flanders or Molasses Ponds on a hot summer day • collecting shells, driftwood, and colored glass along the beaches at Sorrento • 'bowling' with naturally rounded stones at Grindstone Neck • hikes on Mt. Desert Island, Schoodic Mountain, and even Mt. Katahdin • drives around the Park Loop Road to see Egg Rock, Thunder Hole, and Otter Cliffs • watching the awesome power of the surf at Schoodic Point • picking wild blueberries and raspberries for wonderful tastes of summer • searching for the constellations and witnessing the Perseid meteor showers on crystal-clear nights. Visitors to this special place on Long Cove will take their own memories along with them when they leave. We hope they will return to create still more for many summers to come!

Amazon Books Releases Interactive Map of Great American Eats
Amazon has introduced an interactive map of the "Great American Eats." The map is comprised of a list of 360 cookbooks organized by region across the United States and plotted on a map.
The map is organized into nine different regions around the country and there is also a category for "All- American Cookbooks." You can click on a the section in the map to get a list of recommended books for sale for that region.
Mari Malcolm, Cookbooks & Lifestyle Editor at Amazon, chose the books which includes titles by chefs such as Mario Batali, Ina Garten, and David Chang, as well as Top Chef contenders such as Edward Lee and Richard Blais.
Here is more about the project from Amazon:
In Michelin-starred restaurants, hole-in-the-wall diners, and food truck oases, around backyard grills, in tiny walk-ups and gleaming suburban kitchens, Americans are making room for the everyday pleasures of cooking and appreciative eating. We're recognizing innovative chefs as stars. We're following and interacting with extraordinary cooks and bakers on their blogs. We're posting pictures of amazing meals (from restaurants, and the ones we make with our own hands) online, trading recipes, learning how to can and pickle, foraging, putting in edibles where we used to have lawn. We're sitting down to dinner with family and friends again, often in our own homes.

text: Voted Tucson Weekly's "Best New Band" in 2007, Mostly Bears have steadily been working their way up the list — a very, very short list — of innovative Arizona bands. Of course, they are from Tucson and not Phoenix, so they fit in nicely with the other bands emerging from that sleepy college town. Maybe it's the delicious Eegee's or maybe it's the asinine highway construction, but Tucson has been representing Arizona pretty well on a national scale. I know there's no official competition between Phoenix and Tucson to see who can produce the better indie-rock bands. It would be nice to formally decree something like that, though, because competition will breed stellar results. Mostly Bears have to be in consideration, especially after the release of their debut album, The Ed Mitchell Clinic, in 2008. That album solidified what the UofA kids and other Tucson denizens already knew about the band: They play a unique live show that focuses on their inspired brand of indie rock, centered on the Arcade Fire-tinged vocals of Brian Lopez. It's not a difficult formula to crack, but Mostly Bears have done it with great success.

this is our 2nd time staying at this condo. it is very nice. the pictures show it just as it is. the view from the 11th floor balcony is as good as it gets! each time here, we see dolphins & sting rays swimming in the ocean. The sand & water is beautiful. we use everything the lighthouse has to offer, pools, hot tubs, gym etc... it is all very nice! the covered parking deck is very nice. the condo is located close to a lot of good restaurants. sea n suds seafood is just a short walk on the beach. docs seafood and cobalt's in nearby orange beach is good also. the original oyster house offers a wide variety of good food. we like to play putt putt golf in town too! the condo is located close to just about anything you might need. I would not hesitate in recommending this condo at all! Deborah is very nice & easy to work with. she always has returned my deposit promptly.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay in this condo unit! This was our first vacation to Gulf Shores. Simply put.... RELAXING! The condo unit was clean and had all of the amenities of home. The beds were comfy and we all slept great! The patio furniture is also quite new and very nice. The view on the 11th floor was the best!. It is centrally located and just far enough up that we didn't hear a thing. I really appreciated the outstanding communication I had with Deborah on several occasions. She was very prompt in answering any questions I had regarding our stay. My family and I would highly recommend staying in this unit.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This was my family's first trip to the Gulf Shores area and we couldn't have been happier. The condo was perfect for my wife, 2 boys and in-laws. We spent every night on teh balcony playing cards and listening to the surf, the boys loved their bunk beds and having a King room in the 2nd bedroom was perfect. Would reccomend this to anyone looking for a great condo in a great location.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

We just got back from 4 nights in this condo and it was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the furnishings nice, and the kitchen well stocked. The patio table and chairs are nicer than what's in the picture. They swivel and bounce. My 5 year old loved the bunk room. We would have loved curtains on the guest room and bunk room as the light outside is very bright all night long. We ended up covering the windows in towels, which worked fine. We loved the complex. Amazing pools, great views, and good location. The owner has great communication and answers any questions quickly. We will definitely be looking at staying here again. Thanks for everything.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children.

Deborah, We loved your Condo! We just wanted to stay inside and enjoy the view. The king size beds slept sooo good my family said. I wanted to take the table and black/white stripe chairs with me. The view was outstanding. I have stayed in almost every condo near this one and This is my all time MOST favorite condo. Must mention that when you step out of the elevator on the 11th floor, the all glass view was beautiful of Gulf Shores, day and night. I loved the bunk room where I slept. Loved the large laundry room too. I can't say enough about how much we loved it. Looking forward to coming back again and again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with young children, girls getaway.

Sony has released a 45 second clip on YouTube features an animation of the console's controller symnols and the clip ends with the date 'Feb 20th 2013.'
The teaser and fuelled speculation that the company is set to announce the PlayStation 4 on that day.
Back in 2005 Similar event showed off the PlayStation 3. Sony spokesman has refused to comment regarding the event.
However Sony's global chief executive said that the company has no plans to reveal their successor to the PlayStation 3, before Microsoft shows off their new Xbox.
He said "Why go first when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better?"
Larry Hryb, Xbox's director of programming, has recently posted a countdown clock to June's E3 games show on his blog.
As we all know that new consoles are normally revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles which is in June.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"After looking at samples from a number of different companies I decided to order my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas and I'm really glad I did! I submitted my artwork and within 2 days they had a digital proof for me to look at. I even received a phone call to let me know it had been sent. At this time I decided to make a quick change and they had a new proof to me within the hour. I was expecting to wait a couple weeks before receiving them but within 2 days of approving my final artwork they were already at my door! They look great, feel great and I'm so excited to send them out! Thank you for your excellent customer service!! I will highly recommend you to anyone I know that needs invitations and will be sure to come to you again when I need anything else!"
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"I needed My invitations fast, and I looked online, so glad I found this place! The service was just wonderful, the cards and RSVP looked stunning, the paper is a really great heavy quality . And your personal designer is here to help u with the final touches . I recomoned them to everyone I know"
"I fell in love with our invitations once we received them! The quality of the paper and print was excellent. So far, the reactions from our guests upon opening them have basically been: "WOW". If you are looking for something unique, and a good way to show off your engagement photos, this is definitely the invitation to go with! The delivery time was also exceptional, as they arrived a week earlier than expected! Thank you so much Wedding Paper Divas! You've exceeded my expectations, and I would do it all over again! :)"
"I chose this card because I wanted my invite to be folded as well as have photos on it. This fit the bill perfectly. On the cover I had just one large photo of us, while the bottom three were other themes (flowers, heart, and bible verse). The quality was just what I wanted and I was able to fit my wedding invitation wording into it with no problem. I have gotten so many compliments on it! My only small complaint was that there was not an standard option to put text on the back. I would have loved to put my registry, rsvp info, etc. back there. But ended up buying shipping label stickers and sticking on in the back and they turned out just fine! I would definitely buy them again!"

VP Biden headlining annual SC Democratic dinner | Events
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden is visiting South Carolina to address a gathering of state Democrats. The vice president will be in Columbia on Friday to give remarks at the annual Jefferson Jackson Dinner. During presidential elections, state party galas such as this one are frequent stops for candidates. South Carolina traditionally holds one of the first primaries of the season, Biden has not ruled out a presidential run in 2016. The event is part of the state Democratic Party's annual convention. Party organizers say Biden is also expected to make an appearance at U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn's annual fish fry at Carolina Field House in Columbia. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

Warm and sunny for today through Friday, rain/storms return Saturday
By: JohnnyParker, 11:04 AM GMT on April 18, 2012 | +1 |
Good Morning! At Smithville, MS, the current temperature is 50, but it feels like 49. Highs will continue to range between 71 and 88 with lows between 47 and 62. There is a 70% chance of rain/thunder on Saturday. Rain will start to come in late Friday night and continue through the day on Saturday. A few storms could be strong to severe with small hail and gusty winds being the main threats. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but it looks like that the severe weather threat should remain along the Gulf Coast. The other main threats besides the severe weather will be heavy rain. Rainfall amounts between 1-3 will be likely with isolated amounts greater than 3 inches possible. Flash flooding will be possible. At the Regional Rehab Center in Tupelo, MS, the current temperature is 50, but it feels like 48. Todays high is 76 with a low of 47. Thursdays high is 80. Hope yall are having a great Wednesday and I'll have another post tomorrow morning. Continue to pray for the tornado victims and those affected by damaging weather events.

10 Relievers the Atlanta Braves Could Target Via Trade
By Matt Powers ,
Huston Street is just one arm that could help the Braves pen.
With the Fourth of July in the books, it means that we are less than four weeks away from the 2012 trading deadline. For a club like the Atlanta Braves there are holes that must be filled to compete for a playoff spot this season.
One of those holes is in the bullpen, which is a bit surprising after the Braves brought back every key arm from one of the best bullpens in the game. However top setup man Jonny Venters has been hittable this year and Eric O'Flaherty has also been very up and down. In fact the only reliever at the back of the Braves' bullpen that has continued to pitch well from a year ago is All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel.
This article takes a look at 10 relievers that the Braves should take a look at between now and the deadline to strengthen their bullpen. With even one of these arms in the pen, the Braves could have a more reliable bridge from their starters to Kimbrel in order to close out victories.
Brett Myers knows the NL East well.
One option for the Braves could be Brett Myers, the closer for the Houston Astros. The Astros aren't going to contend this year and are in the middle of a long rebuilding process, so dealing Myers would give the team more value than keeping him in the long run.
Myers had been a starter his entire career, minus the 2007 season when he filled in as a closer for the Phillies. However due to a lack of other options the Astros converted Myers to the closer role for the second time in his career, despite averaging nearly 220 innings pitched in his first two years with the club. Myers has responded well to the change, going 0-3 with a 3.71 ERA and 17 saves.
Myers could be a good fit for the Braves as a setup man. He's extremely versatile, having made 33 starts in a season just last year as well as having two separate stints as a closer. That would give the Braves a second reliever, in addition to Kris Medlen, that is capable of going multiple innings if needed.
Another reason why Myers makes this list is him being a seasoned veteran. Myers is in his 11th season in the big leagues, and the fact that he spent the first eight in Philadelphia makes him more valuable as he knows the NL East. Spending eight years in Philadelphia also means that Myers has thrown 22 postseason innings, as well as being apart of a pair of teams which reached the World Series.
Myers is signed to an expensive contract, but he is in the final year of his deal. There is even a chance that the Braves would be able to talk the Astros into picking up some of the remaining money owed in exchange for an upgrade in the package in return. This would only help to make Myers more affordable to the Braves, who are rumored to have limited cash available.
Wilton Lopez is an intriguing arm the Braves could use.
Brett Myers isn't the only member of the Houston bullpen that the Braves could target. Wilton Lopez is another reliever that could help the Braves bullpen. Lopez, who will turn 29 before the deadline, has been a solid setup man for the Astros for the last few years.
As a rookie in 2010 Lopez went 5-2 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 67 innings. He followed that up a year ago by going 2-6 with a 2.79 ERA in 71 innings. Then this year he has gone 3-0 with a 2.51 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. In three seasons Lopez has emerged as a strong late-inning reliever.
Though unlike most other successful setup men Lopez doesn't strike out a lot of batters, but he does an excellent job of limiting walks. He also excels at preventing home runs, and does a good job of limiting extra base hits in general in part due to the fact that he is a ground ball pitcher.
Lopez isn't a guy that will come very cheap because he is under team control for a few more seasons, but he is still a guy worth looking at because of what he does on the mound. His success in each of his three full seasons in the big leagues, control and ability to force grounders give him everything needed to help the Braves bullpen.
K-Rod could help the Braves down the stretch.
Since bursting on the scene as a 20-year-old rookie in 2002 and playing a major role in the Angels winning the World Series, Francisco Rodriguez has been one of the most electrifying relievers in all of baseball. The man known as K-Rod has 292 career saves and 838 strikeouts in 685.1 innings.
Rodriguez is no longer a closer, as he has been a setup man for the Brewers since they acquired him from the Mets a year ago. He's also no longer electric, as he seems to have lost something ever since leaving the Angels following the 2008 season, but he is still a strong veteran pitcher.
Rodriguez is 1-4 with a 4.17 ERA this year for the Brewers, but he still misses bats as he has 32 strikeouts in 36.2 innings. Though he has been having the worst year of his career based on numbers, he still has plenty of value.
Rodriguez has done a good job of stranding inherited base runners ever since coming to the National League, and this year is a perfect 7-for-7 in holding runners. He's also been doing a job job of getting ground balls, which has led to a career-high in double plays.
Rodriguez may no longer be a dominant pitcher, but he's a veteran who is getting guys out in different ways now that he can't just strike everyone out. His 26 career playoff appearances is even another reason that the Braves could be interested.
Jonathan Broxton could help the Braves.
Heading into the 2010 season Jonathan Broxton was about to turn 26 years old and was already one of the best closers in the game after going 7-2 with a 2.61 ERA and 36 saves in 2009. However that's when injuries started to hit.
Broxton managed to become an All-Star in 2010 but his season was bothered by injuries, leading to an ERA of 4.04. The injuries continued to bother him again in 2011, as he made just 14 appearances and was even less effective.
It was starting to look like Broxton could be finished, and because of this the Dodgers didn't even try to keep Broxton. However the Royals took a chance on Broxton this spring by giving him a minor league deal and the chance to compete for a spot in the bullpen.
Then the Royals lost their All-Star closer, Joakim Soria, to an injury. That injury along with a strong showing from Broxton in the spring put him back in a closer role. Broxton hasn't done anything to disappoint the team since then.
On the year Broxton is 1-1 with a 2.05 ERA and 20 saves. He's been so good that he is in the mix for an All-Star selection, though he will need to win the Final Vote from the fans to get selected. Though his strikeouts are down, it's easy to see that he is all the way back as he is having a career year.
Broxton is a guy that the Royals would be smart to deal considering he will certainly be making more money next year and their closer, Soria, will be back. The Braves' need for a setup man could be solved by adding Broxton.
The Braves could potentially use a left-hander like Jerry Blevins in the bullpen.
Similar to Houston, Oakland is in the middle of a total re-build of the organization. General manager Billy Beane started his rebuilding process over the winter, but still has a few players he is likely to deal away to add more young prospects. One player that could get moved is left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins.
Jerry Blevins has quietly been very strong for the last two seasons. He had a 2.86 ERA in 28 appearances last year, and has followed that up by going 2-0 with a 2.36 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 30 appearances this year.
Blevins doesn't strike out a lot of hitters, but does a good job of keeping opponents from getting hits. He also does a very good job of limiting home runs allowed. Lefties are always valuable, but lefties that get outs are always important.
The A's are likely to deal Grant Balfour.
Jerry Blevins isn't the only member of the Oakland bullpen that teams are looking at, as veteran Grant Balfour is a popular name in trade rumors. Balfour, who is 34, has been in the big leagues for nine years pitching for Oakland, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Tampa Bay.
This year he is 1-2 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.12 WHIP to go with seven saves in 39 appearances. Though his numbers are a bit down from the previous two years when he posted ERAs of 2.28 and 2.47, he has still been an effective late-inning reliever.
Balfour has been a good pitcher in the postseason, posting a 3.60 ERA over 15 appearances. Another attribute that makes him appealing is the fact that he does a great job of limiting hits, as he has a .215 career batting average against him. That also contributes to his ability to limit extra base hits, as he is well above the league average at doing so.
Balfour isn't going to be an elite setup man, but he is a safe bet to be a quality setup man. Acquiring him could really help the Braves get more consistent work from the bullpen.
Jared Burton has re-emerged this year after spending the past two years in the minors.
While Jared Burton spent more time in the minors than the big leagues in both 2010 and 2011, Burton was able to bring his career back to life with the Twins this season. He's managed to become one of the top performers out of the Twins' bullpen.
On the year Burton is 1-0 with a 2.73 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 34 appearances. Part of his success can be traced back to strong ratios, as he has cut his hits per nine rate along with his walks and homers allowed while increasing the strikeouts.
Burton isn't one of the bigger names on this list but the way he has pitched in the American League this year has been very good. The Braves could certainly strengthen their bullpen by adding a pitcher like him.
Even though he hasn't been at his best this year, Brandon League has been solid.
Last year one of the top closers in the game was Brandon League. The Mariners' All-Star went 1-5 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.08 WHIP on his way to picking up 37 saves. It was a very impressive season, especially for a guy in his first full season as a closer.
League hasn't been able to find the same success this year though. He is 0-5 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.60 WHIP to go with just nine saves. This is partly because his walks and hits allowed are up from a year ago and his strikeouts are down.
It is important to note that League struggled for a bit last year and even briefly lost his closer job, just like he has this year. The difference between last year and this year is that League was able too rebound in the second half of the season.
If League is able to rebound he could be among the top relievers in the game, and even if he doesn't he has still pitched pretty well. Adding League to the Atlanta bullpen would give the Braves another arm capable of getting the big outs before Craig Kimbrel comes in to finish off the win.
Rafael Betancourt has been strong throughout his career, even at Coors Field.
Rafael Betancourt has been one of the best relievers in the game since entering the league in 2003. The 37-year-old has been a top setup man for most of that time, though he has been closing for the Rockies this year after the team dealt Huston Street over the winter.
This year Betancourt is 1-3 with a 3.03 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to go with 13 saves, showing that pitching in Coors Field doesn't really bother him. He has done a good job of limiting the hits, walks and home runs allowed which seem this year which seems to be a big part of why Coors Field hasn't bothered him.
With the Rockies going nowhere it only makes sense to deal their top bullpen arm for prospects. For the Braves, adding a veteran with a great track record, it could be the piece that helps their bullpen improve.
Huston Street is having an amazing year.
One of the top pitchers on this list is Huston Street, the closer for the Padres. The former American League Rookie of the Year is having a career year this season, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he was named to the All-Star team for the first time in his career.
In his first year with the Padres, after coming over in an offseason trade with the Rockies, Street is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and 0.67 WHIP to go with 12 saves. Though he missed some time with a minor injury, he's been nothing but dominant. In fact he is only allowing a ridiculous 3.4 hits per nine innings and is yet to give up a home run.
The Padres are likely to deal Street, who is in the final year of his contract. He could certainly help the Braves, as he is one of the few closers in baseball having a better season than fellow All-Star Craig Kimbrel. Though he may be a bit more expensive than what the Braves want to give up and also has a history of getting hurt. Still if the Braves bring him in to be Kimbrel's setup man they would have a dominant pair of relievers in the last two innings of the game.

Ry Cooder's "Live in San Francisco" Featured in The New Yorker
Ry Cooder's first live record in more than 35 years, Live in San Francisco, is featured in an article from The New Yorker's Alec Wilkinson titled "Ry Cooder, Live Again." Wilkinson traces Cooder's career through his studio recordings—"Cooder's catalogue, reflecting his capacious intelligence, is the broadest and deepest in popular music"—to the new live album. "The solos open like rooms, one into another," writes Wilkinson. "Some of the rooms are still as night, and in others the audience shouts like congregants cheering a preacher."
About this Album
Ry Cooder's Election Special, due out from Nonesuch / Perro Verde Records on August 21, 2012, is a wake-up call as the United States heads into the fall election season.
"Howdy there neighbor—let me ask you something. Do you really think Charlie and Davy sit around on the couch with family and friends watching re-runs of Dancing with the Stars?," asks Cooder. "See, 'Wasting Away in Margaritaville' was a good song in its day, but we need a different kind of a song now if we're going to make headway against the likes of Charlie and Dave. Those type of guys are plenty swift, they're all deacons in the High Church of the Next Dollar. We need to get smarter, fast. The world is full of C and D students in high places and there's more coming up all the time. Don't be one."
Cooder has this to say about the songs on the album:
- Mutt Romney Blues: Reverend Al Sharpton said, "How he treated his dog tells you a lot about him." Where did Mitt Romney learn that hollow laugh of his? A correspondence course on how to scare your dog shitless? He sure scares me, I don't mind telling you.
- Brother Is Gone: The only logical explanation for the Brothers I could come up with is, they made their deal at the crossroads with Satan. Satan will need to get paid, but in the meantime, they are doing everything in their power to hurt you and me. The big hurt.
- The Wall Street Part of Town: Is there a Wall Street part of town in your town? Start your own, it's easy. When the police come, remind them that you pay their salary, such as it may be.
- Guantanamo: There's a beautiful Cuban song about a country girl from Guantanamo. The lyrics were written over a hundred years ago, and they say something about peace and freedom, so I guess the problem hasn't been solved yet. Prisons are the new growth industry.
- Cold Cold Feeling: The president, alone in the dark, walks the Oval Office floor. Before you criticize and accuse, walk a mile in his shoes.
- Going to Tampa: As a mother, will Sarah Palin lead the Republican convention in a prayer for Treyvon? Will "Stand Your Ground" stand? Don't forget your bed sheet and keep your money in your shoes.
- Kool-Aid: A lament for this guy Zimmerman, and all the many Zimmermans. Too late, they find their masters have given them gun rights and new "Stand Your Ground" lynching laws instead of good paying jobs and secure futures. They drank the Kool-Aid, they really drank it down.
- The 90 and the 9: A possible political discussion between a father and child. Here in Los Angeles, they allow military recruiters in public schools. If you speak against it, they come down hard on you. I don't even know what name you give to a criminal conspiracy like that.
- Take Your Hands off It: Woody said, "This land is your land." There's a famous photograph of a sign that reads, "Don't let the big men take it away." On the other hand, James Baldwin believed the concepts of nationhood such as freedom, equality, and democracy are superstitions, nothing more.
Cooder produced the album and wrote all of the songs. ("Take Your Hands off It" was co-written with Joachim Cooder). He sings and plays mandolin, guitar, and bass on the album, with Joachim on drums. Arnold McCuller sings harmony vocals on "Take Your Hands off It."

Poole dives into home with two new licensees
Staff -- Home & Textiles Today, 3/24/2003 12:00:00 AM
Home designer William Poole is branching out into home textiles for the first time through two recent licensing partnerships.
Dalton, GA-based Shaw Rugs will product area rugs, and Sunbrella, a division of Glen Raven Custom Fabrics LLC, will manufacture fabrics.
This new business strategy is part of Poole's plan to pursue more alliances with other home textiles category players to expand his brand for home goods.
"I am looking for full coordination within the home, starting with the rugs and working on up," said Poole, who is based in Wilmington, NC.
With Poole, Shaw Rugs has added another prominent name to its roster of licensed programs that includes the likes of Martha Stewart, Kathy Ireland and Tommy Bahama. Shaw will unveil the new collection at the High Point market in April. It comprises an estimated 20 rugs, both nylon and machine-woven wool.
The Sunbrella fabrics for Poole's line will be incorporated into his furniture line with licensee Hickory Chair and his outdoor furniture line with licensee Laneventure. The designer's other home furnishings licensees include Hickory Chair for furniture, Willwood for lamps and accents and many others for windows, doors, shutters, columns, shingles, lumber, siding and exterior lighting, among others.
Poole said he is actively looking for partners to produce bedding, window coverings, bath products, decorative pillows and other home textiles.
"It is important for me [to include home textiles in my collection] because there are almost one million people living in our homes and they look to me for exactly the product that works well in their homes," Poole said. "I want to be associated with home and hearth, like what we experienced in the '50s."
