For people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately Challenging
For hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
Get ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

After lunch you'll continue southbound across the upper reaches of Kaibab Plateau, through forests of pines, spruce, fir and quaking aspen. Learn why fire is important to the health of Ponderosa Pine forests and what happens when you suppress fires for 100 years. These are incredible woods which, with their huge meadows, give more of a feel of Montana than Arizona. Along the way you may see the unique Kaibab squirrels, wild turkeys and deer. When you arrive at Grand Canyon National Park, you have the option to walk out to Bright Angel Point. The half mile roundtrip out the spine of the ridge to the point is paved and is a little steep in places, but worth it. From the point you'll be treated to impressive colorful views stretching well down into Roaring Springs and Bright Angel Canyons. After our walk, we then check in at the Grand Canyon Lodge for our stay in the rustic cabins near the main lodge building and the canyon views on the back porch of the Grand Canyon Lodge.
Dining in the historic Grand Canyon Lodge is truly a memorable experience. Regional as well as 1930's themed foods are featured throughout the menus. They take pride in utilizing only the freshest and healthiest ingredients. The "all natural" beef and poultry products are free of any antibodies or hormones. Salmon is wild Alaska caught. Additionally, they offer organic products such as salad greens and pastas.
After dinner you have the option of taking in the presentation by the NPS ranger, or go for a walk out to one of several view points overlooking the canyon to watch the stars rotate over your head.

Zion National Park
Bicycling in Zion
In the past most cyclists found the automobile congestion along Zion Canyon Scenic Drive to be too hazardous for riding. Thanks to the Zion Canyon Shuttle System the park is now more bicycle friendly. One may ride the PaRus trail from the lower canyon and connect to Zion Canyon Scenic Drive at Canyon Junction. The shuttle buses are equipped with bike racks for those wishing to ride only part of the way. Many cyclists enjoy riding the shuttle to the Temple of Sinawava and cycling back down. Bicycles are permitted only on established roads and the PaRus Trail. Cyclists must obey traffic laws. Bicycles are not allowed on hiking trails or off-trail. Ride defensively; automobile traffic is often heavy and drivers may be distracted by the scenery. Riding through the Zion-Mt. Carmel tunnel is prohibited. Bicycles must be transported through the tunnel by motor vehicle. Bikes can be rented at Springdale Cycles 932 Zion Park Blvd., Springdale, UT 84767, (435) 772-0575, Fax (435) 772-0576, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Springdale shuttle loop stops at six locations in the town, and the Zion Canyon shuttle loop stops at eight locations in the park. The transfer point between loops is made at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center in the park. The shuttle system operates from April through October. During those months, visitors may not drive their private vehicles on the scenic drive in upper Zion Canyon unless they are guests at the Zion Canyon Lodge. All other roads in the park are open to private vehicles. At other times of the year, private vehicles may be driven into upper Zion Canyon. The shuttle system provides convenient and frequent access to numerous hiking trails, scenic points, picnicking, horseback riding and the Zion Canyon Lodge. During the summer months, buses run at six-minute intervals during the middle of the day, so there is no need to rush to catch a bus. During the summer months, shuttles operate from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. Shuttle schedules and frequencies change with the season and with the time of day. Shuttle schedules are posted at each shuttle stop. The system has allowed visitors to easily access the main canyon in an improved atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Shuttle stops are conveniently located throughout Springdale. The town shuttle takes visitors to the parking lot of the Zion Canyon Giant Screen Theater. Here you must disembark and walk across the footbridge into the park. A park entrance fee is charged at the walk-in entrance station. Proceed to the visitor center where there are exhibits, AV programs, a backcountry permit desk, an information desk, and numerous books, maps and other publications to assist you in planning your visit.

North Rim, Grand Canyon
General Overview of Grand Canyon North Rim Free Time Options
There are many ways to explore the canyon like drive the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River. Sit and watch the changing play of light and shadows. Wander along a trail and feel the sunshine and wind on your face. Attend a ranger program. Follow the antics of ravens soaring above the rim. Listen for the roar of the rapids far below. Savor a sunrise or sunset. (At the end of it all the experience seems to humble and provoke a comparison to our short existence.) With this program we will stay in the Historic North Rim Cabins located on the rim. You will have easy access to walk to incredible view points, explore the Visitor Center, gift shops and soak in all of the sights and sounds of this "Grand" place!
Hike on your own
We provide guided exploration with this program. Our instructor and group leader walk with you to various view points. You have the option to explore on your own. Be sure to let the group leader know. Here's a few hikes and info. No additl' permits or fees are required for day hikes. A good rule is to decide how many hours you wish to hike. When 1/3 of the time has passed, turn around and begin to hike back. Assuming you are physically fit and have adequate food and water, the following hikes are reasonable for most people. Transept Trail: 3.0 mi. / 4.8 km round-trip; 1.5 hours approx round-trip hiking time. Follows the canyon rim from Grand Canyon Lodge to the North Rim Campground. Uncle Jim Trail: 5.0 mi. / 8.0 km round-trip; 3 hours approx round-trip hiking time. Winds through the forest to a point overlooking the canyon and the North Kaibab Trail switchbacks. Begins at the North Kaibab Trail parking lot. This trail is also used by mules. North Kaibab Trail: Distance and hiking times vary. This is the only maintained trail into the canyon from the North Rim. Even a short hike to Coconino Overlook (1.5 miles round-trip) or Supai Tunnel (4 miles round-trip) can give you an appreciation for the canyon's rich natural beauty and immense size. A hike to Roaring Springs and back is extremely strenuous and takes a full day (7-8 hours) - begin your hike before 7 a.m. Roaring Springs lies 3050 feet /930 m below the canyon rim and is 9.4 miles/15 km round-trip. A day hike beyond Roaring Springs is not recommended. Widforss Trail: 10 mi. / 16 km round-trip; 6 hours appr round-trip hiking time. Blends forest and canyon scenery. Even a short walk can be very satisfying. Take the dirt road 1/4 mile/0.4 km south of Cape Royal Road for 1 mile/1.6 km to the Widforss Trail parking area. Ken Patrick Trail: 10 mi. / 16 km one-way; 6 hours approx one-way hiking time. Winds through the forest and along the rim from Point Imperial to the North Kaibab Trail parking area.

There goes any chance of GCC 4.9+ on FreeDOS...
Phoronix: Automake Looks To Drop MS-DOS, Windows 95/98/ME
Automake 1.13 was released on Friday with a number of major changes to this component of the GNU build system. With Automake 1.14, there's already a number of additional changes being considered...
There goes any chance of GCC 4.9+ on FreeDOS...
ooohh, That was a good catch. I don't suppose they are gonna let freedos hang though. I'm now wondering what could be done.
Dropping support for DOS and Win 95 is probably long overdue.
But I was hoping they retained support for Win 98, since I know it's still being used in a production capacity in certain environments.
i effing hate then OEMs use DOS/freedos for their utlities. many hdd controllers are not supported and the system is flaky. just use linux or winpe and stop annoying people.
Man, DJGPP, those were the days. I wonder how many folks my age got started with C/C++ using that. Linux wasn't even able to run the GNU OS userspace tools at the time, iirc (not that I would even hear about Linux until almost 8 years later).
Oh, I love how the fanboys always make personal replies. Point proven.

DWR Exclusive
Setting up shop in Hong Kong was a savvy and calculated move for Young. It places him in the center of manufacturing and has given him direct access to the Asian factories that build his creative concepts. And all this without the pretense of the European scene: "Design isn't about it marketing," says Young. "It's about industrialization." In his work which has included all types of furniture, interiors and products like the City Storm bicycle for Giant, the Sabar Sextoy vibrator for Kiki de Montparnasse New York, and state-of-the-art wireless speakers for Eops, Young pulls influences from all these experiences, melding east and west. This is evidenced in his intricate use of folded paper, which he specified for a furniture collection for Established & Sons, as well as the interior of the Pissaro restaurant in Hong Kong.

Riolu is a black and blue, dog-like Pokémon nearing two and a half feet. Its appearance is similar to its evolved form Lucario, though there are some differences. Its legs and torso are colored black while its head, lower body and tail are blue. Riolu have large, rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws, placed in a similar fashion to Lucario's spikes. Riolu also have a black "mask" with two black appendages on either side, and red eyes.
Special Abilities
Riolu are sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura as Lucario is. Riolu's evolved form, Lucario, can use these waves for attacks, tracking, or to predict future moves. However, Riolu does not have the full potential of these powers, using them as described in ripples rather than waves. Moves such as Aura Sphere or Detect can not be learned by Riolu due to its inability to fully use the power of aura.
In the Anime
In the anime, Riolu has made an appearance during Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One and Two, which aired as a one hour special commemorating the release of Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. This Riolu had been trained to use Aura Sphere and was unnaturally strong. It was taken away from its owner by a group that wanted to exploit it but Ash and co. returned it, with Kellyn's help. This Riolu developed a strong bond with Ash.
In the Manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Maylene has a Riolu. It is seen using Drain Punch against Pearl's Monferno, who Platinum borrowed in order to fight her. Then, when Diamond's is traveling alone, he is given an egg by Riley, which eventually hatched into a Riolu. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! Hareta gained a Riolu egg in Serious Training on Iron Island which hatched into a Riolu later on in that chapter.
Riolu evolves into Lucario when you level it up at day with high Happiness

Riolu's name is simply based on Lucario's name, switching "Rio" with "Lu" and leaving out "Ca".
- Riolu is the only pure Fighting-type Pokémon whose evolved form is not a pure Fighting-type, instead, a fighting and steel.
- Both of Riolu's abilities have something to do with flinching. Steadfast increases Riolu's speed when it flinches while Inner Focus prevents it from flinching.
- This means, that in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Series where Pokémon have both of their abilities, Inner Focus prevents Steadfast from ever activating.
- Riolu is the only Fighting Pokémon starter playable on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
- Although it is only obtainable in the Challenger's Cave in the Black and White games, Riolu is obtainable in the wild in Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 before the National Pokédex. Its Unova Pokédex number is #33, while Lucario is #34.

Karly Horenn/Special to the Herald
Karly Horenn/Special to the Herald
It�s easy as adults to do the same old, same old. But it�s way more fun to always be learning and trying new things.
So when I heard Judy Hook was organizing a program of readings by the journalist Studs Terkel as part of the Spoken Word Series, I said count me in. The occasion was the 100th anniversary of his birth.
I�m going to admit to almost complete ignorance when it comes to Terkel. I know the bare minimum � he won the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction in 1985 for his magnum opus, The Good War: An Oral History of World War II. I�ve read about his skill in conveying the stories of the American �everyman,� and that his long-running radio program � 45 years � in Chicago was quite popular.
But I don�t recall ever actually reading any of his work. And where did the name Studs come from anyway? The New York Times answered that question for me in Terkel�s obituary in 2008, when the �Listener to Americans� died at the august age of 96.
In the late 1930s, he dropped his given name, Louis, and adopted Studs from another colorful character from the Windy City, James T. Farrell�s fictional Studs Lonigan, a scrappy Irish kid who learns he can�t out-tough the Depression. Did I mention Terkel was pursuing an acting career at the time after earning degrees in philosophy and law from the University of Chicago.
Hook pulled six readings, three from The Great Divide: Second Thoughts on the American Dream from 1988 and three from Hope Dies Last: Keeping the Faith in Difficult Times from 2003. She created a wonderful arc of storytelling and beautifully cast the roles in a presentation that did Terkel proud.
Dennis Aronson read the interview with Robert Frank, who taught a class called Science and Society at the University of Arkansas. Frank talked about the challenges of teaching the concept of a science as a journey of discovery and process to students who come from a Christian fundamentalist background and have done much of their learning at church and at home.
�They assume everyone should hold these truths,� he said. �They think science is facts to memorize. We read On the Origin of Species, which can be a turning point because Charles Darwin is logical, so gentle, it�s hard to get mad at him, which is what makes the book so diabolical.�
Dr. Quentin Young, the chairman of medicine of Cook County Hospital in Chicago from 1972 to 1981, (where the TV show �E.R.� was set), and the founder of the Health & Medicine Policy Research Group, was also Terkel�s personal physician, and he had a lot to say about making American medicine a giant for-profit machine. Jeff Deitch was challenged to convey Young�s outrage.
If someone comes in who can be moved safely, or perhaps not so safely, to a public hospital from a privately owned one, it can save the hospital from $10,000 to $20,000 if the patient doesn�t have resources such as insurance.
�Physicians are told it�s the same as a gift from a major donor to get rid of the patient,� Young said. �It�s social Darwinism. How different is this than the Nazi program to get rid of undesirables?�
Anyone who thinks the golden years are, well, golden, should meet Maggie Kuhn. After the Presbyterian Church forced her to retire at 65, she founded the Gray Panthers, a human-rights organization that also mobilized a lot of young people. Judith Reynolds was clearly in sync with Kuhn�s philosophy that seniors are one of our country�s untapped resources.
�The life cycle has lengthened every decade,� Kuhn told Terkel, �but we have been seeing retirement happening earlier. Old people get 15 to 20 percent off, I call that Novocain, given instead of good pension plans. They�ve created a contrived conflict between old and young generations.�
Dwight Burgess as Adolph Kiefer reminisced about his experience of winning the gold medal in the 100-yard backstroke in the 1936 Olympics and meeting another Adolf, Herr Hitler, that is.
�He told me I was the model of Aryan purity,� Kiefer said, adding that Jesse Owens was his friend. �If I�d known what he was going to do, I would have drowned him in the swimming pool!�
Lest you think Terkel only interviewed the notables in our society, Hook also selected an interview with Liliana Lineres, who emigrated from Peru with her husband, a policeman who was given asylum in the U.S. after being threatened by domestic terrorism. Susana Jones did a masterful job of portraying the part time janitor at Harvard University.
�The important thing is to keep on and live,� she said. �It�s important not to be the kind of person who just works and doesn�t want to learn.�
And Katherine Burgess brought it home with her portrayal of Linda Stout, the executive director of the Peace Development Fund at the time of her interview with Terkel. She went on to found Spirit in Action, which she now leads. But don�t let the titles and accomplishments fool you. She grew up poor in North Carolina, and her Quaker roots � she�s a 13th generation Quaker � taught her to speak up for her beliefs that being poor doesn�t mean people are ignorant or deserve to live in squalor.
�I went to speak at a conference, and I was afraid that people wouldn�t hear me because my grammar isn�t perfect,� Burgess read. �But they heard me because I spoke from my heart. A gentleman standing next to me said, �I�m honored to be on stage with you.� It was John Kenneth Galbraith.�
I constantly hear from young people that it�s so expensive to live here, there�s nothing to do, yada yada ... So where were y�all Monday night, when you could have enjoyed an engrossing hour from an author I�m sure you know nothing about, then left for an equally engaging discussion with your friends over coffee?
Hook hasn�t scheduled the next Spoken Word event yet, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements at the library, online or in The Durango Herald.
There were a lot of great lines I could have ended this item with, but I chose one of Terkel�s quotes from a time when he was the interviewee.
�I don�t have to stay curious, I am curious, about all of it, all the time,� he said. �Curiosity never killed this cat � that�s what I�d like as my epitaph.�
Happy Sagittarius birthday wishes go to Gary Penington, Shiann Homer, Darryl Hunt, Karen Siegrist, Allison Epstein, Nancy Loftis, Kathie Hudson, Cindy Atchison, Brandon Engle, Shane Minerich, Ray Schamel, Tyler Wood, Mary Downey, Kristen Dugan, Diane Higgins, Amanda Preston-Araujo, Ernie Shock, Tierney Skahill, Tyler Wood, Isabel Gray, Caroline Tidwell, Elise Tidwell, Len Hahl, Nancy Shipps, Ian Junkermann, Barbara Elliott, Tabitha Heckman, David Kolb, Amy McClellan and Izzi Lockhart (101!).
The weather is going to be so nice this weekend, I hope there�s a good turnout for A Brotherhood Active Towards Education of Colorado District 8�s 20th annual Toy Run on Sunday.
It will take off from the Fun Center, 29603 U.S. Highway 160 in Grandview. The center opens at 9 a.m., and at 10 a.m. coffee and doughnuts will be served.
At 11 a.m., the motorcycles will take off, arriving at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4031, 1550 Main Ave., for chili, giveaways and a small silent auction at noon. Windwolf Productions will add to the festivities with some live music. All it takes to join the fun is a toy worth $10 or more or a $10 cash donation.
Lou Cundiff from ABATE tells me that last year, the event made a donation to Project Merry Christmas of $2,000 as well as delivering a whole bunch of toys.
It seems like the 20th outing should be an occasion to beat all previous records and make Christmas a lot happier for many La Plata County kids.
Be safe out there.
Gearing up for the holidays for their anniversaries are Bill and Susan Hermesman, Scott and CeCe Sallee, Hal and Vivian Emrich, Bob and Linda Gramera, Dan and Mary Howell and Wayne and Vicki Hose.

OAK BROOK, IL, USA, (Feb. 23, 2012) – Mikaela Smith, a 12-year-old girl from Valparaiso, Indiana, USA has been named the grand prize winner in the 2011-12 Lions International Essay Contest for visually impaired youth.
Smith's essay was selected for her ability to convey this year's theme "Children Know Peace." Smith said, "I believe watching a child is the best example that shows children know peace. … Our imaginations are endless as the sea. We should be watched and listened to, because, after all, children really do know peace."
The Lions International Essay Contest, sponsored by Lions Clubs International, provides an outlet for visually impaired children ages 11, 12 and 13 to express what peace means to them.
Lions International President Wing-Kun Tam said he was impressed by the expression and creativity of the essay, "It is obvious that Mikaela has strong ideas about what peace means to her."
Tam will present Smith with the international grand prize award and US$5,000 during Lions Day with the United Nations in New York City on March 16.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs in 207 countries and geographical areas around the world. Since 1917, Lions clubs have aided the blind and visually impaired and made a strong commitment to community service and serving youth throughout the world.

The GHC Commentary
This tree of wiki pages is a "commentary" on the GHC source code. It contains all the explanatory material that doesn't belong in comments in the source code itself, because the material is wide-ranging, usually covers multiple source files, and is more architectural in nature. The commentary can also be considered a design document for GHC.
For the dedicated, there are videos of Simon and Simon giving an overview of GHC, at the 2006 GHC Hackathon.
Please feel free to add material to this commentary: don't worry too much about accuracy, in due course someone will edit your contribution. Try to link to source files as much as possible by using this macro: [[GhcFile(compiler/Makefile)]] (the usual Trac source: macro doesn't work here because the GHC darcs repository isn't integrated into this Trac). Also try to add appropriate links to other parts of the commentary.
- The Runtime System In addition to the usual runtime support contains information on:
- Cross-cutting concerns: topics which span both the compiler and the runtime system
- The User Manual (formatting guidelines etc)
- Working on GHC
- DebuggingGhcCrashes: how to use gdb to debug a crash in GHC-compiled code.
Contributed Documentation
Please edit and improve the Commentary above, or the Building Guide.
However sometimes you may want to add new material that doesn't quite fit into the existing structure. Or perhaps your pages are about work-in-progress, status reports and suchlike, which don't belong in the Commentary per se. Regardless, you can add your new material here.
- The Compiler
- Notes about Template Haskell?
- Notes about the new code generator
- Type families/type functions: Notes concerning the implementation of type families, associated types, and equality constraints as well as the extension of the type checker with a contraint solver for equality constraints.
- IntermediateTypes: Notes about the type system of GHC's new intermediate language (in the HEAD since ICFP'06)
- DataParallel: Notes about the implementation of Data Parallel Haskell
- RewriteRules: Notes about the implementation of RULEs in GHC
- BackEndNotes: Some ideas and notes about the back end.
- LLVM Back-end: Some notes about the new LLVM back-end for GHC
- Cmm: Implementing Exception Handling: Implementing exception handling for primitive operations in Cmm
- Cmm: Using Kinds to implement calling conventions: Pointers to explanations of what a CmmKind is and why you might find one useful.
- GhciDebugger: Some notes about the implementation of the GHCi debugger. Probably uninteresting unless you want to work on the debugger.
- NewGhciDebugger: The new GHCi debugger.
- AddingNewPrimitiveOperations: How to add new primitive operations to GHC Haskell.
- Replacing GMP: Notes from an effort to replace GMP with another Bignum library.
- ExternalCore: Describes the process of bringing External Core up to speed. Once finished, this will simply describe what External Core is, and how it works.
- HaddockComments: Some notes about how the Haddock comment support is implemented.
- ExplicitCallStack: Notes about maintaining an explicit call stack, to support error attribution and profiling.
- SQL-Like Comprehensions: Notes on the ongoing implementation of SPJs "Comprehensive Comprehensions".
- The Runtime System
- GarbageCollectorNotes Notes about GHC's existing single threaded garbage collector and development of a parallel GC.
- GMPMemoryManagement Describes how the garbage collector cooperates with GMP for Integer.
- SemiTagging: Describes how the semi-tagging optimisation will be implemented.
- PAPI: Measurement of program performance usign CPU events (cache misses, branch mispredictions).
- Other Cross-cutting concerns: topics which span both the compiler and the runtime system
- How the Haskell Program Coverage option works
- Nofib: The nofib benchmark suite
- Getting to grips with the code base
- BeginnersNotes: Some notes about getting started hacking GHC and the structure of the compiler (especially types and typecheck)
- Hackathon presentations (video)
Old but useful
Finally, here are some generally-useful, but now somewhat-out-of-date resources:
- The old GHC Commentary: Information on the internals of GHC, in various states of up-to-dateness. We are keen to move this stuff out of its current location and onto this Wiki. If anyone is willing to help do that, even for just a part in which you are interested, we would be delighted.
- GhcPapers: papers and pointers to other documents that relate to the inner workings of GHC.

Felix steps in to stop surging Tribe in Cleveland
Masterson, seeking seventh win, aims to keep Indians rolling
The Indians' 2013 roster is full of new faces. Yet at the 41-game mark this season, Cleveland sports a record just one game better than last year's mark.
Delve a little further into the numbers, however, and one can spot the differences between the two versions of the club. The Indians, who have won 16 of their last 20 games, have a plus-29 run differential. Last year at this juncture, Cleveland had been outscored by its opponents by four runs.
Across the board, the Tribe's hitting and pitching statistics this season reign supreme over last year's totals. Manager Terry Francona is gradually learning what type of team he has.
"We spent a lot of time in Spring Training trying to do things together, because there was a lot of new faces," Francona said. "But as you play close games, you play games where everybody is involved -- which we've done a lot of that -- you can see the team starting to form a personality, it's own unique personality. And that's good, because you need that though the course of a long season."
The surging Tribe will encounter possibly their stiffest challenge of the season on Sunday, when they collide with Mariners ace Felix Hernandez. The American League leader in ERA exited his start on Tuesday in the sixth inning after he tweaked his back, but Seattle skipper Eric Wedge isn't overly concerned.
"He's been fine," Wedge said. "He's had the back thing on-and-off before. He's fine. He should be in good shape."
The anchor of the Indians' rotation, Justin Masterson, will oppose Hernandez. The sinkerballer stymied the Yankees on Monday, tossing a complete-game shutout to notch his sixth win of the season.
Mariners: Harang's status to be determined
Aaron Harang is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Angels, but the Mariners will evaluate the right-hander on Sunday before setting it in stone. Harang was scratched from Thursday's outing after his back stiffened up.
"The plan is to play catch [Saturday] and hopefully throw a light [bullpen session] Sunday," Wedge said. "That's what we're hoping for."
Indians: Masterson eyeing win No. 7
Masterson's masterpiece against New York marked his second complete-game shutout of the year. He limited the Yankees to four hits and struck out nine batters while lowering his ERA to 3.14.
"Staying out there is one thing -- we know he'll do that," Francona said. "But to pitch the way he pitched -- so effectively -- that was really impressive."
Worth noting
• With their win on Saturday, the Indians guaranteed a 10th consecutive non-losing series. They are 5-0-4 in their previous nine series.
• Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, after a sluggish April, leads the Majors in RBIs in the month of May.
"Remember in the beginning when everybody was like, 'Hey, are you going to move him down in the order?'" manager Terry Francona said. "You just have to be patient with good players. It's paying off in huge dividends."
• Right-handed batters are 0-for-30 against Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen this season.
• Wedge gave center fielder Michael Saunders the day off on Saturday, but said he would return to the lineup on Sunday.
