Pune: It was a nostalgic evening for 250 artistes, who took their nascent steps into theater and subsequently into the limelight through the Purushottam Karandak one-act play competition. Veteran actors caught up with their co-actors several years later and recounted interesting nuggets from their college days.
Artists on the podium included Vikram Gokhale, Ramesh Bhatkar, Madhav Vaze, Mrudula Bhatkar, playwright Dr Satish Alekar, Sushama Deshpande, Yogesh Soman, Prasad Vanarase, Girish Kemkar, Abhiram Bhadakamkar, and Pravin Vitthal Tarade.
The get-together had been organised by Maharashtriya Kalopasak, which has been conducting the competition for the last 50 years.
The competition is responsible for introducing actors, and directors such as Jabbar Patel, Vikram Gokhale, Mohan Gokhale, Sonali Kulkarni, Upendra Limaye, Subodh Bhave and many others to the world. Mrudula Behere, wife of actor Ramesh Bhatkar who acted on the stage too is now a well-known judge, who heard the infamous Jalgaon sex-scandal case. Irrespective of their ongoing association or parting of ways with theatre as a medium, they all cherished their Purushottam days on Saturday evening. Compere Sudhir Gadgil has also been associated with Purushottam.
Vikram Gokhale revealed that Purushottam was his stepping stone to theatre, he faced his first audience in the one-act play titled 'Raadhey'. Alekar said that Purushottam Karadak defined one-act plays and theater on the a tool for expression. Mrudula opined that her days in Purushottam offered her friendships and love that acted as a fillip for her life's journey. Tarade said that this competition made him understand humanity and gave him a serious perspective about theater.

A lawyer for victims of Tony Alamo, a former evangelist convicted of taking underage girls across state lines for the purpose of sex, discussed recently how Alamo's abuse victims could soon receive a portion of the more-than half-billion-dollar judgment against Alamo.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Alamo, who's known in the federal prison system as Bernie Lazar Hoffman, is 79 years old, and approximately four years into a 175-year prison sentence.
His prison term was the end result a 2008 arrest warrant federal agents executed on several properties reportedly controlled by Alamo's ministries — including a Santa Clarita Valley lot in Saugus — which are at the heart of a recent court dispute.
"We've been litigating the children's victims claims against Alamo and his related business for about four and a half years," said W. David Carter, a Texarkana lawyer with Mercy Carter Tidwell, in a Friday interview.
Carter represents seven victims who were awarded a $525 million settlement in February.
Related article: UPDATE: Former Santa Clarita Valley Evangelist Alamo Hit With $500M Judgment
Carter suggested Alamo's church officials were passing around property deeds to make it harder to collect the court-ordered awards.
"We expect that Twenty First Century is trying to convey the property to other entities — they passed titles around in their group," he said. "We've been able to reach about 25 properties that were held in the name of members."
There are dozens of properties in the church's name and through the Alamo controlled Twenty First Century Holiness Tabernacle Church, Carter said, but very little of the damages awarded to Alamo's victims have been paid.
In 2011, two men were awarded $30 million in damages after Alamo ordered them beaten at one of his compounds; in that case, Alamo's followers declined to attend a May 1 court hearing.
Douglas Brubach, who claimed to own house in Fouke ordered sold, sent a letter to the presiding federal judge to explain why he wouldn't appear in court, according to a Dallas Fort-Worth NBC affiliate report:
"I do not intend to be on hand for more of the same on the April 30, 2014, hearing," Brubach's letter states. "It appears to me our entire congregation has been tried and convicted with Pastor Alamo because we don't believe he is guilty of all the abominable acts he has been accused of."
A jury convicted Alamo of taking wives as young as 8 years old, as well as having people beaten and sexually abused at his command.
Alamo's criminal history has cast doubt on claims Alamo's made about his property, Carter said.
His two lots in the Santa Clarita Valley — his church site on Sierra Highway, a couples miles north of Rowher Canyon Road, and a 90-acre lot a little more than a mile north of Sand Canyon off Sierra Highway — reportedly could be worth billions, due to a valuable claim of water rights under the land.
The problem is, Carter said, Alamo made the claim in an email to one of his followers, to whom he also claimed his wife would resurrect from the dead.
Alamo reportedly hired some hydrogeology services to evaluate the property, and at one point, proposed to spend $17 million to drill wells, Carter said.
The general manager for the Castaic Lake Water Agency, the region's state water wholesaler, questions the possibility of such a claim due to a number of factors.
"It's my opinion that they wouldn't be able to develop the water supply for export out of the (Santa Clarita Valley)," said Dan Masnada, general manager for the Castaic Lake Water Agency. "That water has already accounted for in the Santa Clarita Valley Urban Water Management Plan."
In addition to a possible threat litigation threat, there are infrastructure issues making the movement of an amount of water to justify such value "nonsensical," Masnada said.
"I'll be the first to tell you Tony Alamo made statements or claims that turned out to be somewhat untrue," Carter said. "The unresolved question is whether the water supply actually exists."
The next sale of properties is expected to take place June 12, when the compound Alamo operated in Fouke, Arkansas, goes up for sale.
"That's where he operated primarily from after his release in 1999 and before the raid in 2008," Carter said, noting that was where most of the abuse took place.
It could act as a litmus test for how the property sales throughout the country are handled. Carter plans to be able to use the judgment against Alamo as a bid in the sale of the land.
Yet questions on the value remain of several plots remain.
"We're not sure what access we're going to have to the property before it's sold — ideally we'd have the answer to the question (of water rights) before the public sale," Carter said. "it will probably take a little time."

Norway-based yoga expert Are Holen is an internationally acclaimed researcher in disaster psychiatry and founder of Acem School of Meditation. He was in Trichy recently as a guest lecturer at Pragyan, National Institute of Technology's (formerly Regional Engineering College) international technical consortium which featured students from 60 countries.
Holen spoke exclusively to DNA on stress, meditation and other subjects. He said Pune-based BKS Iyengar's yoga moves, quite popular in the West, were not the best.
How are Acem meditation techniques different from those practised in India?
First of all, it is neutral; no religion or guru. The modern man may not like to go to a meditation practice that has a true religious context. To explain it in a scientific way is important. So, instead of going by a particular belief, here we have a completely different source of recommendation —an evidence-based medically approved meditation practice.
What meditation tool or object do you use?
It is shabda, the meditation sound, and it is given by the teacher. What is more important is what you do with the sound, how you internally act and react in relation to what is going on. And so, the action of the doer makes more of a difference than the meditation object as such, even though the meditation object is a necessary requirement.
How popular is yoga in Norway and other Scandinavian countries?
Quite popular. And of the kinds known there, the Iyengar tradition has been quite popular in the West as sports yoga. But I personally don't think it is the best kind of yoga. A meditation-oriented yoga is more in line with the traditional Patanjali yoga. Yoga is popular as it can be adjusted to different requirements.
How often do you visit India?
At least once a year. But now I might come to India more often.
Stress and tension are the biggest ailments affecting today's society. How can we keep ourselves from being affected?
I hope India, in particular, will have the ability to pick up meditation and not just talk about it.
How was your experience here?
Good. I had a lively and attentive audience. They responded well. I'm also impressed with the way it was organised.

EMOTIONS are running high. Even though we are wearing hairnets, face masks and overalls to protect the delicate silicon surfaces from dust and moisture, I'm pretty sure I can see Tony Weidberg welling up. "There were times when I thought we'd never get this far," he says. "After all these years, it is amazing to see it in the flesh."
It's not exactly flesh that we are looking at, but it is Weidberg's baby. Suspended from a frame in the middle of his laboratory at the University of Oxford is a monster cylinder, 1.5 metres long and covered in shiny scales made of silicon. Cables spew from both its ends, while a robot arm sits poised in front of it. To Weidberg, this is more than just another piece of equipment. For the past 12 years this has been his life.
Even now, the device is not quite ready to ...

The game of musical middleweight chairs for UFC on FX 8 has come to a conclusion. After watching Costa Philippou withdraw from his scrap with Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza due to a cut, Chris Camozzi (pictured) has agreed to face the former Strikeforce champion in the May 18 show. Camozzi was originally slated to fight Rafael Natal in the event, but couldn't pass on the opportunity to co-headline the gig against stiffer competition. Natal will now meet Octagon rookie Joao Zeferino. The UFC confirmed the swap Friday morning. Camozzi collected his fourth straight win by taking a split decision victory over Nick Ring at UFC 158. Jacare, meanwhile, makes his big league debut riding a three-fight winning streak. UFC on FX 8 takes place inside Jaragua Arena in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil. Here is the show's revised lineup: Preliminary Card: Facebook (4:45PM ET/1:45PM PT) Lucas Martins vs. Jeremy Larsen Jussier Formiga vs. Chris Cariaso John Lineker vs. Azamat Gashimov FUEL TV (6PM ET/3PM PT) Roger Hollett vs. Fabio Maldonado Hacran Dias vs. Nik Lentz Yuri Alcantara vs. Iliarde Santos Paulo Thiago vs. Tiago dos Santos Gleison Tibau vs. John Cholish Mike Rio vs. Francisco Trinaldo Main Card: FX (9PM ET/6PM PT) Rafael Natal vs. Joao Zeferino Rafael dos Anjos vs. Evan Dunham Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs. Chris Camozzi Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold

I love this watch. It is so yummy looking. It would compliment any man's wrist beautifully. I personally would like to have it for myself, because it's so sharp looking. Sharp. Handsome. Classy.

Washington: a city of denials, spin, and political calculations. The Nation's former DC editor David Corn spent 2002-2007 blogging on the policies, personalities and lies that spew out of the nation's capital. The complete archive appears below. Corn is now the DC editor at Mother Jones.
THIS JUST IN: Harry Whittington suffered a minor heart attack on Tuesday morning due to bird shot from Cheney's gun that migrated into his heart. Click here.
I posted this first at www.davidcorn.com....
Kudos to my friend Ken Bazinet, a White House correspondent for the New York Daily News. Yesterday, I was wondering whether Cheney had obtained the proper hunting license before going off to hunt quail and shoot a buddy. It turns out he had not. And Bazinet seems to have confirmed this first. At least, he's the first reporter I've seen who has the story. Read about it here. He wrote:
Vice President Cheney had no license to kill--quail, that is.
After the White House reluctantly conceded yesterday that it sat on the blockbuster news that Cheney shot a hunting buddy Saturday, the veep's office revealed he didn't even have the proper $7 stamp on his hunting license to shoot quail in Texas.
"The staff asked for all permits needed, but was not informed of the $7 upland game-bird stamp requirement," Cheney's office said in a statement last night.
Although he was hunting illegally when he blasted Austin millionaire Harry Whittington, Cheney will get off with a warning from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, his office said.
Cheney and Bush sure know how to succeed despite breaking or bending the rules. Bush had one DWI; Cheney had two. Bush went MIA in the National Guard; Cheney took five military deferments. This is a rules-don't-matter duo, a shoot-and-don't-tell couple. Kids, pay attention, you can mess up and still become millionaire-leaders of the free world.
These past two days it sure has seemed that Scott McClellan has not enjoyed working for Bush and Cheney. He faced a fusillade of questions yesterday and refused to give a straightforward accounting of why it took so long to disclose the hunting accident. It didn't take much imagination to suspect that Cheney and/or the White House initially considered hiding the event from the press and the public. Today, McClellan relied on one of his favorite evasive maneuvers. When reporters asked him to address remaining questions, he said (repeatedly), "we went through that yesterday." Actually, he had not. That's why these queries were being hurled at him today. But he often resorts to this dodge. I'm guessing he thinks it might cause some of the viewing public to think that the reporters are piling on. ("Oh, that poor Scotty McClellan. Look at that; those nasty reporters are asking him question he's already answered.")
Before the reporters today could finish hurling questions that would not be answered by McClellan, he called a halt to the press briefing, noting, "it's time to focus on the priorities of the American people." Perhaps he had in mind the war that most Americans no longer believe was worth it.
McClellan is a puppet, a beard. He's fronting for others. Still, he keeps generating his own credibility problem. (Remember when he said that neither Karl Rove nor Scooter Libby were involved in the CIA leak?) It may seem that White House reporters give him a tough time on occasions such as these. But it's not nearly as tough as he deserves. The journos at 1600 Pennsylvania ought to consider guerilla action of some sort. For instance, if McClellan won't answer a question, then every reporter in the room ought to ask it--one after another. Politely. It would be an I-am-Spartacus moment. But given the needs and personalities of White House reporters, orchestrating something like that would be akin to getting a covey of quail to sit still for a vice president.
Meanwhile, why won't Cheney be a man and stop hiding behind McClellan? He should hold a press conference and announce he will answer every question about the hunting accident. Let's see if he has the chutzpah to blame Harry Whittington for having gotten in the way of his shot, as some Cheney comrades have already done. As the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department points out on its website, "The primary reason for Texas hunting accidents remains swinging on game outside a safe zone of fire. This happens when a person points a firearm at another hunter while following a moving target, such as a flying game bird." That sure seems a reasonable explanation for why Whittington ended up with a face full of pellets. Texas PWD spokesman Tom Harvey tells me that there is no state law that compels the investigation of hunting accidents that don't produce a dead body. Most accidents are reported voluntarily, says Harvey, who as of Tuesday had received about 200 calls from various media outfits. And there is no punitive action for accidents that involve no criminal wrongdoing. The errant hunter can get a license next time. (Quails of Texas, watch out for the return of Cheney.) But there is a health and safety law that requires doctors to report gunshot wounds.
So with no official investigation under way, there's no reason why Cheney cannot come before the press, sit in front of a blackboard, and explain all. I'm not sure if real men hunt. But real men do take responsibility for their actions.

Re: What do you have on your cabin sole?
there are some waterproof laminaites out there, but I don't see how a "floating" floor would really work on a boat. Seems it would just come up and move around. I just put down 1,500 square feet of it (from Lumber liquidators, and not waterproof) and it was not that easy, and I don't think in a house with molding holding it down it will last the 30 years it's warranty says it will.
There are some nice glue down products, some made from Bamboo that look nice. I looked at one boat that had it and it looked really nice. I also saw a boat with oak; I thought it looked nice but kind of out of place on a boat.
No way for me to have carpet, too much moisture gets trapped. Looking at an S2 and first thing I would have to do is tear out the carpet headliner. The foam interlocking tiles might be cool, but I wonder if they absorb moisture where you cut them? There is also cork, it can look nice but is hard to keep clean.

Washington guard Terrence Ross has decided to enter the NBA draft. Ross averaged a team-high 16.4 points this season as Washington won the Pac-12 regular-season title and made it to the NIT semifinals. The 6-foot-6 Ross was the only player on the team to reach 30 points, accomplishing the feat twice, and had nine games of 20-plus points. Ross averaged 25 points in four games in the NIT before a 68-67 overtime loss to Minnesota ended the Huskies' season. Washington announced Ross' decision on Sunday. The school said on its men's basketball Twitter feed that Ross plans to hire an agent.

Letters to the Editor
I'd like to congratulate you on getting the job of planning the layout of Linux Journal....and I'd like to also say that it was much more enjoyable to read this time around. Thank you. —Monte Corbit firstname.lastname@example.com
I also wanted to compliment you guys on the excellent content level of LJ. —Tom MorseLernout & Hauspie Speech Products email@example.com
It is seldom that an editor asks an opinion of their "art director". Understandably since you have a layout person doing the work that an art director should your requests for an opinion is a cry for help.
Judging from the recent changes this cry of help seems justified. Your magazine was brought to my attention by my husband, one of your subscribers. His response was, "Look how amateurish this is."
I would like to start with the visual on page 19. This is a bad shot. It may have been the only one that you had. Why wasn't it cropped differently or the background replaced? Did Amy like the hair sticking out and the UFO by his right shoulder?
The lime green? Was it inspired by the well designed ad on page 29? Do you feel it works as well as on page 6 & 7? Was the Linux color on page 3 chosen from the ad on page 59? Do you feel the two colors complement each other well on page 3?
In newspapers rough sketches lend well to the 80 line screens. In magazines as in your case the rough thumbnail sketches appear badly drawn and quite wobbly. Are you trying to give the impression that your magazine can not afford an illustrator?
Page 10. Why is 'Stop the Presses' so big? Is it to compete with the even larger horsey Headlines throughout your magazine? Doesn't by Phil Hughes look so small in comparison floating in all that white space. It gets a bit lost just hanging there. Shouldn't the three be married in a design unity? Stop the presses? (see page 116 of June Wired Magazine)
Why is the logo of your Magazine treated differently between the cover and page 3? Why is the date under Journal? Was the page intended to be smaller or did Amy feel the white space and the line added something? Why is the XBase lines so big on the cover? Do you feel that the cover breaths well of is it a clutter on design elements thrown on the page to fill up all space?
My suggestion is send Amy on a Design course or two. Perhaps if she didn't race through the design she may have done a better job. But remember you get what you pay for. —Most sincerely,Cinna email@example.com
Kudos on the new look for LJ! Pass on my appreciation to Amy Wood. Keep it up. —Andy Cook firstname.lastname@example.com

I don't. But I do have heat shrink tubing, and what I would do is cut one piece to cover the break, shrink it, then put on another overlapping piece - that is, covering the first piece and a half or three quarters of an inch on each end of the healthy casing.

U.S. Department of State: Ukraine has same religious problems: discrimination, property disputes, intensified government control
Yanukovych: Political speculation on language, culture, history, religion hamper national consolidation
President discusses religion with Russian Patriarch Kirill in Kyiv
The U.S. Department of State has published its International Religious Freedom Report for 2011, which points out problem in this sphere in Ukraine.
In particular, according to the report that is available on the Web site of the Department of State, the government did not demonstrate a trend toward either improvements or deterioration in respect for and protection of the right to religious freedom, while local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations.
"There were reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against some Christian denominations. There were also reports of vandalism of religious property," reads the document.
According to the report, the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Ukraine reported some difficulties with registering new religious communities in Crimea due to what it considered the political biases of some local authorities.
Members of the Mejlis, the central executive body of the Crimean Tatars, and Crimea-based human rights groups continued to criticize the Crimean government for permitting schools to use textbooks that contained inflammatory and historically inaccurate material about Crimean Tatar Muslims, despite government promises to address their concerns.
"Crimean Tatars claimed that propaganda campaigns, particularly by pro-Russian groups, promoted hostility against them among other inhabitants of Crimea," reads the report.
The document also mentions that local authorities reportedly remained unwilling to allocate land for some churches, in addition land conflicts emerge, and there are problems with seizures of land and property. In particular, Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, as well as Jewish and Muslim communities face such difficulties.
"There were several reports of anti-Semitic vandalism, including the August 12 desecration of a Jewish cemetery in Pavlohrad, the defacement of a Jewish community building in Sumy on October 12, the November 17 and November 19 desecrations of Holocaust monuments in Kirovohrad and in Sevastopol, and the December 9 defacement of a synagogue in Sumy," reads the report.
The document also recalls that in September the nationalist political party Svoboda organized a march called "Uman without Hasidim" to protest the pilgrimage of Hasidic Jews to the grave of a prominent Rabbi buried in Uman. Despite a court order prohibiting the protest, approximately 100 protesters still showed up.

Thursday's Tip Sheet
By Josh Jacobs
It's almost the end of the week (already?) and Thursday will usher in a snappy, 11-card special which will include three day contests. Looking forward to the weekend, let's take one step at a time and analyze what the tail end of the week has in store.
Oh, and instead of giving just a quick synopsis of what we might expect from the various matchups, a quick prediction has been included for good measure.
Toronto (D. McGowan) at N.Y. Yankees (C. Wang) – 1:05 p.m. EDT
After the highly anticipated entrance of Joba Chamberlain fell short of a spectacular showing (Chamberlain finished the evening after only a 62-pitch count, giving up four walks and one earned run on only one hit), the Yankees will look to close out their series with the Blue Jays.
New York has been swept once this season in a three gamer versus Detroit in late April (getting outscored 20-10). Dating back to 2004, New York has been swept nine times in three and four-game series'.
Pinstripe bats have been silenced by Toronto pitching in the four contests played thus far this year. The Yanks have swung threw pitches for a .248 BA, while generating a sporadic 2.5 runs per game.
New York is ranked 19th in the league with 181 RBIs with runners in scoring position.
Bronx Bomber ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-2, 4.14 ERA) has had mild success against the Jays in seven starts over a three-year period. During this stretch, Wang has gone 3-2 with a 4.20 ERA and has surrendered a BAA of .277. In Wang's first start of the season versus Toronto, a seven inning outing translated into a 'W' after giving up six hits and two runs (final score was 3-2).
A 9-3 run in the last 12 can be attributed to the Blue Jays' run production of 5.5 runs per game, while the balanced pitching staff has held teams to scoring just 2.1 runs per game (a difference +3.4 runs per game).
For Toronto's starter Dustin McGowan (4-4, 3.95) two straight win have witnessed the right-hander giving up four runs.
The Blue Jays are 7-3 on the 'over' in their last 10, while the 'under' is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head contests.
Predication: New York on the Money Line
Tampa Bay (J. Shields) at Boston (J. Lester) – 6:05 p.m. EDT
Boston continues to excel inside Fenway Park with a 22-5 record this season and a 40-12 performance in its last 52. The Red Sox have set the league on fire with 309 runs, while maintaining a third best .282 BA.
Even with Boston's offensive explosion, books have been hesitant to adjust totals at the 10 run mark or above (as is the case with this year's total trends overall). Only 13 contests have seen the total set at 10 runs or more. The Sox have gone 7-6 on the 'over' in those 13.
Boston's Jon Lester (3-3, 3.67) will make his 14th start of the season. With the offense generating a more then adequate 4.3 runs of support per start, Lester continues to struggle in garnering wins on his record. In Lester's last 10 starts, a 2-1 record with seven no decisions have been a tough trend to shake (although the Sox have gone 6-4 in those last 10).
Tampa enters Thursday winless in its last four head-to-head contests with Boston. With the Rays courting a hot 24-10 record at home this season, their road performance has been below average with a .250 BA, 112 RBIs and has struggled to get on base with a .317 OBP.
Taking the mound for Tampa will be righty starter James Shields. Not since May 14 has Shields recorded a win in the books and his last four starts have resulted in one loss. The second-year slinger has sacrificed only 2.8 runs per game in the three no decisions, but the clubs has still gone on to record three wins during his three no decisions.
Prediction: Play the 'under'
Chicago Cubs (R. Dempster) at L.A. Dodgers (C. Billingsley) – 10:10 p.m. EDT
If there's a team in the majors taking hold of momentum it's the Cubbies. Working to continue a nine-game winning streak, Chicago has exploded from the plate by outscoring its opponents 52-35. The nine-game run has been a direct reflection of the club's seasonal stats of 5.8 runs per game (tops in the majors), a .288 BA (ranked first in the MLB) and an .823 OPS (number one in baseball).
Some impressive numbers churning in Chicago's favor is a 19-1 record when leading in the seventh innings, a 24-1 record when leading in the eighth, 20 wins and six losses when playing outside of its division and a 13-7 record in Game 1 of a series.
Cubs' starter Ryan Dempster (7-2, 2.75) is 4-2 in his last seven starts and a low WHIP of 1.12 should give the right-hander a leg up on the competition. However, Dempster is 0-2 in four starts on the road this season.
The Dodgers have been hot and cold this season, but have turned sour in their last 12 with a 3-9 record. Five of the nine losses have seen L.A. take deficits as favorites, while down 6.16 units on the money line and 11.66 units on the run line have sent backers packing.
Some good news coming from the hill is that the Dodgers will send out starter Chad Billingsley (4-6, 3.29) to war. The Ohio native has been hot of late, giving up nine runs in his last seven starts. Billingsley's has been able to toss scoreless outings in two starts and has given up just one run in three trips to the mounds. Maybe 3.8 runs of support per start from L.A.'s offensive unit has been a problem in his starts six defeats on the season.
In Billingsley's last three trips to the field, the 'under' has gone 3-0.
The 'under' is 8-4 in the last 12 head-to-head meetings
Prediction: L.A. Dodgers on the money line
Re: MLB News and Notes June 5
Florida (31-26) at Atlanta (31-28)
The Marlins will send Ricky Nolasco (5-3, 4.48 ERA) to the mound to face the Braves and rookie Jair Jurrjens (5-3, 3.45) as these N.L. East rivals wrap up a four-game series at Turner Field.
Florida, which lost the first two games of this series, scored four runs in the ninth inning on Wednesday afternoon to turn a 4-2 deficit into a 6-4 victory, snapping a three-game losing streak overall and a three-game losing skid to the Braves. The Fish are still only 2-6 in their last eight (all against the N.L. East), while Atlanta has dropped six of its last nine. On the bright side for the Braves, they're on runs of 39-17 at Turner Field, 6-1 against the N.L. East, 4-0 in Game 4 of a series, 8-3 against winning teams, 20-6 against right-handed starters and 5-1 on Thursdays.
The season series is now tied at 4, but the Braves are still 37-16 in the last 52 head-to-head battles at Turner.
Nolasco is 4-0 with a 2.76 ERA in his last five starts, including 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in the last three. On Saturday at Philadelphia, he allowed two runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings as Florida scored a big 7-3 upset win.
With the victory at Philadelphia, the 25-year-old right-hander improved to 4-1 with a 3.99 ERA in seven road starts this season. He's also 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA in six appearances (five starts) against the Braves. But he got pelted by Atlanta in an 8-0 home loss in April, giving up six runs on nine hits – including four homers – in just 4 2/3 innings. Florida is just 1-4 in his five career starts against Atlanta (0-2 in Turner Field).
The Braves are 3-1 in Jurrjens' last four efforts, though the 22-year-old is just 1-0 with three no-decisions in that span. In an 8-7 loss at Cincinnati on Saturday, the youngster got knocked around for six runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, easily his worst and shortest outing of the year.
Jurrjens is 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA in six home starts this year (all Atlanta wins) and 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his lone career start against Florida – a 4-0 road loss in April in which he gave up two runs on four hits in six innings.
With Nolasco throwing, the over for Florida is on runs of 5-1 overall, 4-0 on the highway, 4-1 in division play and 12-4-1 with the starter going on four days' rest. On the flip side, the under is 8-4 in Jurrjens' 12 starts this year (3-3 at home).
The over for the Marlins is on runs of 20-7-3 overall, 11-1-3 on the road, 62-26-9 in divisional play and 24-9-3 in Game 4 of a series, though the under is 6-1 in the team's last seven on Thursday. For Atlanta, the under trends include 36-16-3 overall, 7-4-1 in division play and 4-0 on Thursday, but the over is 6-1-1 in its last eight against winning teams, 5-1-1 in its last seven at Turner and 36-16-5 in the last 52 when playing the fourth game of a series.
Finally, the over is 3-0-1 in the last four series meetings between these rivals.
ATS ADVANTAGE: ATLANTA and OVER
Tampa Bay (35-24) at Boston (37-25)
The Red Sox look to extend a 12-game home winning streak – and put the finishing touches on another three-game Fenway Park sweep of the Rays – when they send southpaw Jon Lester (3-3, 3.67) to the mound opposite Tampa Bay's James Shields (4-3, 3.24 ERA).
Behind a strong outing from ace Josh Beckett, Boston rolled to a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay on Wednesday night for their 12th consecutive home victory. The Red Sox continue to sport the best home mark in the majors at 23-5, including 5-0 against the Rays. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has followed up a three-game winning streak with consecutive losses, and while the Rays are 18-8 in their last 26 games, they're now 11-14 on the road this season and 43-99 in their last 142 games as a visitor dating to 2006.
The home team in this American League East rivalry is now 8-0 this year, with Boston winning the last five meetings after Tampa took the first three. The Red Sox have completely dominated this rivalry over the years, winning 97 of the last 140 clashes and going an astounding 44-9 in the last 52 head-to-head battles at Fenway Park, including 7-0 in the last seven in Beantown.
Shields hasn't earned a win since May 9, going 0-1 with no-decisions in his last three starts, but the Rays won all three of those games and are 6-2 in his last eight trips to the mound. On Friday against Chicago, he threw a solid six innings, yielding one run (a solo homer) on seven hits in Tampa's 2-1 home victory. That was Shields' shortest outing of his last five starts, in which he has a complete-game shutout, an eight-inning effort and two starts of seven-plus innings.
Shields is 1-2 with a 6.04 ERA in five road starts this season, and he's 1-3 with a 4.76 ERA in six career starts against Boston, with the win coming in a dominant complete game in April. In that contest, Shields allowed just two hits and a walk, with seven strikeouts, as Tampa won 3-0 at home. However, six days later at Boston, he got blitzed for seven runs on 10 hits in just 3 2/3 innings as the Rays lost, 12-4. He's 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA in two career starts at Fenway.
Lester settled for his seventh no-decision in his most recent start on Saturday, a game Boston won 6-3 at Baltimore. Lester gave up all three runs on seven hits in five innings in that start. Including his first career no-hitter, Lester has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven straight starts, but he's lasted at least six innings just four times during this stretch.
Lester's no-hitter came in a 7-0 rout of the Royals in his most recent home start, as the lefty improved to 2-1 with a 2.72 ERA in six outings at Fenway. He's also 2-0 with a 4.71 ERA in five career starts against Tampa, including a 7-3 Boston victory at home last month in which he allowed one run on four hits in six innings.
The Rays are just 2-10 in Shields' last 12 road starts against winning teams and 1-4 in his last five Thursday starts. On the positive side, Tampa is on streaks of 6-1 on Thursday, 4-2 in division games, 8-4 overall and 21-9 in the third game of a series.
The Red Sox are on a 41-12 tear at Fenway dating to 2007, and they're 23-6 in their last 29 on Thursday and 40-17 in their last 56 at home against teams with a losing road record. Also, with Lester taking the ball, Terry Francona's club is on runs of 18-8 overall, 8-2 at home, 6-1 in Game 3 of a series, 9-2 inside the division and 9-2 when he pitches on four days' rest.
The over is 5-0 in Shields' last five Thursday starts. However, with Lester starting, the under is on runs of 12-5-2 overall, 5-1 at Fenway and 5-1-2 in division games.
The under streaks for the Rays including 6-1 overall, 6-1 against southpaw starters, 5-1 against winning teams, 4-1 on Thursdays and 16-6-1 in the third game of series. But the over is 9-4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 14 roadies. Meanwhile, Boston is riding "over" trends of 6-2-3 against the A.L. East, 4-2 at home against teams with a losing road record and 12-4 in Game 3 of a series.
Finally, the over is on a 4-1 in the last five series meetings between these clubs (all in Boston), with the lone under coming in last night's contest.

Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers, (10:10 p.m EDT). The Cubs try to win consecutive road series after taking one from the Padres, their first away from Wrigley since April.
- Paul Konerko, White Sox, hit a two-run homer in the 15th inning sending Chicago to a 6-4 victory over Kansas City.
- Hanley Ramirez, Marlins, hit two homers, including a two-run shot in a four-run ninth inning, and Florida rallied to beat the Braves 6-4.
- Edinson Volquez, Reds, allowed two hits, struck out eight, walked two and hit two batters in seven innings, lowering his ERA to a major league best 1.32 in a 2-0 victory over the Phillies.
- Brett Myers, Phillies, pitched 6 2-3 innings of no-hit ball, but ended up taking a the loss in a 2-0 Reds' victory.
- Aaron Cook, Rockies, allowed one run and six hits in eight innings, matching a season high with six strikeouts in a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers.
- J.D. Drew, Red Sox, had an RBI double, a single and two runs while batting in David Ortiz's No. 3 spot in a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay.
- Joe Mauer, Twins, homered and drove in three runs to lead Minnesota to a 7-5 victory over the Orioles.
- Ryan Garko, Indians, drove in a career-high six runs as Cleveland beat Texas 15-9.
Brett Myers didn't allow a hit until Joey Votto's two-out RBI double in the seventh inning, but it wasn't enough to beat Reds starter Edinson Volquez, who pitched seven shutout innings and lowered his major league best ERA to 1.32 in Cincinnati's 2-0 victory.
Ken Griffey Jr. walked as a pinch-hitter for the Reds in their 2-0 victory over Philadelphia Phillies to remain one shy of 600 home runs. Griffey wasn't in the Reds' lineup for the third straight game because of general soreness.
Yankees starter Mike Mussina improved to 8-1 in his last nine starts and grabbed of share of the AL lead in wins with his ninth, working six strong innings in a 5-1 victory against Toronto. It was career victory No. 259 for Mussina - one behind Hall of Famer Ted Lyons for 38th place. ... The Red Sox won their 12th straight game at Fenway Park and took the AL East lead away from the Rays with a 5-1 victory.
J.D. Drew, batting third in place of the injured David Ortiz, had an RBI double, a single and two runs in Boston's 5-1 win against Tampa Bay. In Tuesday night's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay, Drew had a two-run homer, a double and two outstanding catches in right field. The Red Sox are 3-1 since Ortiz injured his left wrist on a swing Saturday night.
Derek Jeter moved past Mickey Mantle on the New York Yankees' career hits list with No. 2,416 hits, good for third place on the franchise list behind Babe Ruth (2,518) and Lou Gehrig (2,721). ... The Los Angeles Angels moved to a season-best 13 games over .500 with a 5-4 victory over Seattle. ... Seattle right-hander Carlos Silva (3-6), whom the Mariners signed to a $48 million, four-year contract before the season, has lost six straight decision - the longest skid of his career.
Dodgers rookie Clayton Kershaw came up empty in his third attempt at his first major league win. The 20-year-old left-hander threw 104 pitches in five innings, allowing two runs and five hits with five strikeouts and four walks. He took his first major league loss, 2-1 against the Rockies.
Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz will have season-ending shoulder surgery, but he hopes to return in 2009. He turned 41 last month. Smoltz had only returned from the disabled list on Monday, hoping to make it through the rest of the season as a closer after starting five games this season. After Smoltz's announcement, the Braves blew a two-run ninth-inning lead and lost to the Marlins 6-4. ... Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols was to miss Wednesday's game at Washington because of tightness in his left calf, but it was rained out. Manager Tony La Russa said Pujols will now likely get Thursday's doubleheader off. St. Louis outfielder Rick Ankiel has an infected right knee and is also expected to take the twin-bill off.
Padres pitcher Jake Peavy moved closer to returning from the disabled list after a successful bullpen session. The NL Cy Young winner threw 45 pitches off the mound in the bullpen and reported no pain in his strained right elbow. He's been on the 15-day disabled list since May 20, retroactive to May 15. If Peavy gets medical clearance, he is scheduled to throw on Saturday in either a rehab assignment in the minors or a simulated game at Petco Park. ... Yankees catcher Jorge Posada was activated from the disabled list, but did not play against Toronto. The All-Star catcher had been out since April 28 with right rotator cuff tendinitis. ... Boston right-hander Curt Schilling took a significant step in his effort to return from an injured right shoulder when he threw 25 pitches off a bullpen mound at Fenway Park.
Astros starter Roy Oswalt lost to the Pirates for the first time since April 25, 2005. He went six innings, allowed three earned runs and nine hits, struck out four and walked one in Pittsburgh's 5-2 victory. Before Wednesday night, Oswalt was 5-0 with a 1.84 ERA in his past eight starts against the Pirates.
Jose Reyes homered, doubled and singled to help the New York Mets beat San Francisco 5-3. The All-Star shortstop hit a two-run homer in the top of the fourth after his error on a routine groundball handed the Giants their first run in the third.
Corey Hart hit a three-run, inside-the-park homer that traveled about 206 feet in the air in Milwaukee's 10-1 victory over Arizona. Hart flared a pitch from reliever Edgar Gonzalez down the right-field line. Justin Upton dove, but couldn't come up with the shallow fly ball. He slipped getting up as it rolled to the wall. Upton's slow recovery allowed the speedy Hart to circle the bases for Milwaukee's first inside-the-park homer since Prince Fielder did it at Minnesota last June 17 on a high popup that was lost in the lights and the Metrodome's roof.
The Tigers finished their nine-game road trip with a 3-6 record after losing 10-2 in Oakland. They return to Detroit Friday for the start of a 10-game homestand.
``There's no place for that when you intentionally try to hurt somebody,'' Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon on Coco Crisp's high, hard and late slide into Rays second baseman Akinori Iwamura in the eighth inning of the Red Sox 5-1 victory.

How The Compression Release Mechanism Works On Briggs And Stratton OHV Engines
What do you think about this video?
Ro Efa: I replaced the head gasket on my engine, and that small cap on the end of
one of the valves stems found its way to the crankcase and it broke
both the counterbalance link and that centrifugal doo-dad on the cam gear.
I have a new link, but Briggs won't sell me the spring and weight
assembly... only an entire new camshaft w/gear and weight... too expensive.
Do you know of a practical way to add a manual compression release? Some
motorcycles have them. PS: Really enjoy your videos; THANKS.
Nickolas Davies: ah yes finaly, been fixing a tohatsu 4 stroke efi 25hp that suffered a swim, got it runnig all good but could not figure out why it took such a massive amount of force to pull. then saw this video and all made sense, all 3 were jammed full open so no decompression prior to start. thanks for the upload.
kenny sylvia: hey I have the 5.5 black model its a walk behind as well I just had everything apart put together and working fine after a few pulls it locks up do u have any idea that may help me please and have a happy fourth
James Humphrey: A quick way to check to see if the compression release is the problem on a hard to turn over B & S OHV Engine. Take the valve cover off and turn the engine to the position where it is really hard to turn. You need a helper and expect to get a little oil on you. Have your helper, when you tell him to try starting the engine, now take a screwdriver and put the tip onto the valve exhaust valve lifter - on the very end right over the valve stem or on top of the valve spring cap - carefully push in about a tenth of an inch THEN have it turn the key to start. If your engine has had a habit of being easy to start up to now, it will spin, fire and most of the time start. You may have to try this a couple of times at first to get the knack of it as when the engine turns over your screwdriver will bounce off. Be careful to push in just a wee bit, you will probably feel the valve stem give way just a tad, that is all you want to push. They will usually start after one full cycle but if your engine has a lot of miles and a habit of hard starting, you may have to try it a couple of times ?? If this doesn't work, you may have an intake compression release, try that one. When and if it starts the engine will start pumping oil an you will get squirted a little and the oil will also run down onto the exhaust, no problem just turn the switch off. Now if this works you have just identified for sure what the problem is so either take off the bottom case and repair yourself or take it to the shop. Have a nice day. Jim
EASTYJAZ34: My Quantum engine is experiencing Knocking sounds when i shut the engine off. I have made a video about it. What do u think the problem is?
James Humphrey: Also, like fnaguitarplayer9 said, before tearing down, try to reset your exhaust valve setting, if it is sloppy and wide, it may adjust out, if it doesn't then you can look for a problem on the cam and that is a tear down.
Joseph Alvord: what if mine isnt a ohv system i have a briggs and stratton 12.5 gold model and it has really high compression any ideas? i've changed the connecting rod and i torque it to what the instructions said and put it all back together and tried starting is when i found out i had high compression the starter is good had it checked out and the starter gear does get stuck on the flywheel
VintageOutboardMan: Hey man, I've seen this video before, but I got a question. Do you know when Briggs started using these automatic decompressors? I have a 10hp Briggs from 1976 and with my compression tester I got only 60-70PSI out of it. The engine is not burning any oil and it has lots of power! When I turn it slowly by hand, I can feel a lot of resistance too. If it has an automatic decompressor, 60-70PSI would be excellent, so may I assume it has one??? By the way, yes my compression tester works accurate ;)
mowerman45: Thanks!!! thats about the only thing i think could be the problem
Aaron Zepeda: Interesting! My starter had trouble cranking over & it melted abit. The starter stops on the compression stroke. Its spins freely without the spark plugs in. I thought it was the weak battery, rusty coils, bent crankshaft & etc, but never thought about this. Well, I guess I'll rebuild my starter & 25hp b&s intek engine!
Nick'sGarageDoorService: @outdoorsman310 That's a good idea, but the problem is what if it wears too fast? And either way, metal shavings are not welcome/good in any engine. :-)
madisonelectronic: Thanks! Does it work the same in a Honda 13hp? It runs great but starting it breaks my arm. The valves have been set to 5 and seven (I and O) I am gonna check tonight if I see that movement of the intake valve when I turn it by hand. I cannot think something is broken cause the engine (a real Honda) not a knockoff has maybe 20 hours running from new.
fnaguitarplayer9: no problem. i'm not really sure, i've never worked on a honda, worked on a few honda carburetors thats about it. i figure it is something like this, i know some motors have a manual compression release. It should be on the exhaust valve, but in some cases its on the intake. well you never know, it is possible that something broke, i doubt it though being that new. You could try to set the valves a few thousandths less, like 4 and 6, some are picky. hope this helps. thanks for watching!!!
teerification: I have a PowerBuilt 17.5 OHV briggs. Has that hard start/unadjusted valve issue.
myozone: the exact opposite to a jack brake on a truck
teerification: which valve releases the compression? exhaust or intake? plz help
fnaguitarplayer9: heard that, its a very common problem on OHV motors, i showed it one of my videos, if you search for briggs 14.5 ohv on my channel its one of those videos. i can't remember which one it is.
EdoublS: .004 on the valves. Would it be safe to say, the compression release on the cam is the problem?
fnaguitarplayer9: its usually the exhaust valve, but on some engines its the intake. And on some engines (not lawn mower engines) its a separate valve that releases the pressure. thanks for watching!
1899lpv: Sweet !
EdoublS: I have a b&s 16.5 that came to me with the aluminum pushrod been pretty bad coming out the side of the rocker arm. I replaced the pushrod but now it's still hard turning over and I believe that the problem is within the camshaft. when I get to the compression stroke I get a lot of resistance, and I hear a hiss coming back through the carburetor which tells me that the head gasket is bad. I have already adjusted the valves correctly. I do believe that the problem is with the compression release.
old64goat: Good info. Thanks for uploading. Bill
fnaguitarplayer9: thanks for watching!!!
outdoorsman310: they should make that to wear away as your engine looses compression
teerification: Thank you! I have to adjust my valves as soon as I get my feeler gauge I ordered on amazon.
Robert Smith: great video, i see you've done the spring maintanance video, cant wait to check it out
fnaguitarplayer9: No Problem, thanks for watching!!!
fnaguitarplayer9: yeah that would make sense! thanks for watching!!!
fnaguitarplayer9: its uploading right now, be up in a few hours... thanks for watching
fnaguitarplayer9: no problem! i've been meaning to put this video up haha same here.
Guy Garic: thx
fnaguitarplayer9: thanks for watching!!!
fnaguitarplayer9: just about any time one is hard to crank over its in the valves or compression release, most of the time you can adjust it out, but the bump on the cam for the release can wear out or jam up. i would think so. try cranking it without the plug just to make sure you don't have a bad starter. thanks for watching!!!
fnaguitarplayer9: you wouldn't have to rebuild the engine, all you need to do is adjust the valves, if the valve clearance is to much the compression release won't work right or at all depending on how bad. but the starter may need rebuilt since it got so hot Thanks for Watching!!!

The leaf and grass-lined nests of C. pusilla are typically built on wet arctic tundra near lakes or on grassy dunes at low elevations (Terres 1980). Eggs are yellow, tan or olive with cinnamon, hazel or chestnut colored spots (Terres 1980). Clutch size is generally four per nest, suggested by some studies as the maximum number of hatchlings that can be successfully protected by the parents (Safriel 1975). Both parents incubate the eggs until they hatch, a period of about 18-22 days, at which time the females usually vacate the nest and leave the males to brood the hatchlings (Safriel 1975; Terres 1980). Most young are capable of flight 14-19 days after hatching (Terres 1980).Voice: Semipalmated sandpipers emit a variety of calls, depending on the circumstance. During flight, vocal communication consists of a loud cherk, chert, or chut, which may be doubled. Breeding adults produce a "motorboat" song followed by buzzing. All calls are lower and lack the ee characteristic of the least and western sandpipers (Peterson 1980; Terres 1980; Paulson 2005). Temperature &

Tostita (La)
Plaza de San Marcos, Salamanca, Spain 37002Map
Neighborhood: Carmelitas
It is usually packed with people all the time, particulary at the weekend, because they offer a great variety of tostitas, shrimp, anchovies, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, pork loin, etc. Moreover, they offer a good selection of wines. All of this will definitely make you want to come back. Although it is a little expensive, a tostita costing between EUR 1.50-2.40, a glass of wine EUR 1.20 and a soft drink, EUR 1.50, it is still worth a visit because of their home-made specialties. Located in the centre of town, behind San Marcos Church, also known as the iglesia redonda (round church).

Residents live in private apartments that they furnish and decorate to their tastes. Each of the studio and one-bedroom floor plans includes a kitchenette, spacious bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually-controlled heating and air conditioning, and emergency alert system.
Certified nursing assistants, working under the direction of a licensed nurse, are on-duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Meals, housekeeping and laundry are among the included services.
"Residents also benefit from all of the opportunities that are available to socialize with friends and neighbors and participate in activities and special programs," says Hardy.

ONSTAGE: Little Women
The story of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel from the late 1860s, Little Women, has long been woven into the American consciousness. The March family lives in refined poverty, with a dutiful father away in the Civil War and a steadfast mother raising four headstrong daughters. Their story is one of hardship and heartbreak, with generous doses of situational humor, all of which are recaptured in Emma Reeves' new adaptation for the stage being regionally premiered by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. CSC's acting company is replete with fine actors, and local stage veteran Annie Fitzpatrick plays loving Marmee, who strives to keep her chicks in order. Through March 21. $14-$36. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, 719 Race St., Downtown, 513-381-2273, cincyshakes.com.
