Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfect size magnet
I was so happy when I found this site with these size magnets! No too big, not too small! The few people that have already received them in the mail thought they were great!
The wait to get them was longer than expected but fully worth it! MagnetStreet does a great job and I will be using them for my invitations as well. I highly recommend this product.
easy and personal
there are great selections available. Personalizing is very simple.
Beautiful Cards
Although my choice was listed as a "Save the Date," I used them as a bridal shower invitation. It was so easy to set up and change the font and color to my choices. The customer support was incredible. I spoke to them a few times and they not only made the changes I requested, but also gave me helpful suggestions. When you call, you actually get a live person! They sent a proof to look at and approve before the order was printed. The whole process was easy and the finished product was beautiful and delivered quickly. And the lined envelopes were a plus (I expected plain envelopes). I'm already a return customer and will definitely use them again.
Absolutely Perfect
Received my Save the Date magnets yesterday. They came in a cute keepsake box. The colors looked exactly as pictured when I edited them on the computer. The colors and wording are crisp and clear. Magnets are sturdy and well-made. Definitely a quality product and would recommend to everyone.

Re: Friday Service Plays
Nick Parsons
Baltimore Orioles @ Kansas City Royals OVER 8.5
On Saturday, Greinke (6-1, 0.51 ERA) had his nine-game winning streak snapped as he lost for the first time since Sept. 7. The majors' ERA leader gave up one run and four hits over eight innings of 1-0 loss against the Los Angeles Angels and it's that will compound this evening as I expect this total go over the posted number. Adam Eaton (2-3, 7.18) will get the call for Baltimore, and he'll be trying to win consecutive starts for the first time since May 28-June 3 with Philadelphia. The right-hander gave up four runs and four hits - including two home runs - over five innings of a 12-5 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday; play on the OVER!

(972) Detroit Tigers -$140
(Listing Jackson and Anderson)
Oakland's starting pitcher Brett Anderson is yet to earn a Major
League win and has given up five runs in three of his five starts
this year. The Tigers should be able to put some runs on the
board against him and Oakland will have a hard time winning
a slugfest as their offense is one of the worst in the Majors.
Lay the juice with the Tigers.

Re: Friday Service Plays
1 Unit on Pittsburgh Pirates -118
Pittsburgh ended a long losing streak with a nice series win over the Cards. Now it takes some momentum into this series with lowly Colorado. I expect a win out of the Bucs in Game 1 behind Maholm, who is 2-0 at home with an ERA of 2.66 this season. You also like the fact that Maholm is 9-1 against the money line vs. NL teams scoring 4.8 or more runs/game on the season over the last 2 seasons and 13-2 against the money line at home when the total is 9 to 9.5 over the last 3 seasons. Colorado has struggled on the road (6-10), against southpaw starters (4-7), and in night games (6-12). Also, it is just 6-22 against the money line in road games after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 games over the last 2 seasons. The Pirates are 10-1 in Maholm's last 11 starts as a home favorite while the Rockies are 0-5 in De La Rosa's last 5 starts as an underdog. Bet the Bucs.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Los Angeles at Florida Under 9
Florida starter Chris Volstad has failed to allow more than three earned runs in a start and officially, has posted five quality starts in seven tries. His 2-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 32 hits in 42.1 innings suggest the future is extremely bright for the big righty. He'll face a Dodgers lineup that thus far has shown some dramatic home/road splits with .253 BA and .725 OPS numbers on the road and .315 BA/.869 OPS at home. Overall, the Dodgers are averaging exactly two runs less per contest on the highway. LA's Eric Stults is a guy we are going to keep a close eye on. With 32.2 innings pitched this season, he is six away from matching his MLB season-high. Up until this point, the lefty has been very effective, changing speeds and keeping batters off-balance. As mentioned, we are leery of his long term shelf life being a guy that tends to pitch to contact, but in this spot, against a Florida team that shows well below average numbers against lefties (.230 BA/.288 OBP/.680 OPS) we feel his success should continue. The loss of Manny Ramirez is not something we are going to overreact to, but he is still one less powerful stick Volstad must face. Let's play this one under the total.
Re: Friday Service Plays
BOSTON vs. SEATTLE
The left-hander Lester will start for the Boston Red Sox and try to break out of his funk as opponents are hitting .310 against him. Lester (2-3, 6.31 ERA) allowed a career-high eight runs in a season-low 4 1/3 innings of the 14-5 loss. Lester is 1-0 with a 4.67 ERA in three career starts against the Mariners and Boston (21-14) needs a good start from Lester to give their bullpen a rest after Hideki Okajima, Ramon Ramirez and Jonathan Papelbon all pitched at least an inning in their 5-4, 12-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. The Red Sox's starters are last in the AL with a 5.90 ERA. The Mariners (16-19) have scored two or fewer runs in six of their last nine games, including a 3-2 loss to Texas on Thursday and the Mariners finished their road trip at 1-7 after dropping the final two games being outscored 64-28 in their last 10 games. Boston's reigning AL MVP Dustin Pedroia had four hits in his return from a groin injury and Julio Lugo had five hits while slugger David Ortiz went 0 for 7 and stranded 12 runners as his average fell to .208. Boston's offense has slowed, scoring four runs in four straight games but should break out today facing struggling rookie right-hander Chris Jakubauskas (1-4, 7.67) who gave up nine runs and three homers in 4 1/3 innings of Seattle's 11-0 loss at Minnesota last Friday. Boston won its last five games against the Mariners last year, including a three-game sweep in Seattle.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Big Al McMordie
LAA Angels vs. Texas Rangers
Play: LAA Angels
At 8:05pm our complimentary selection is on the Los Angeles Angels over the Texas Rangers. Rangers righthanded pitcher Kevin Millwood has an amazing ERA of only 2.92, but his record is only 3-3 which means that the 13-year veteran is probably not getting much run support. In fact, in Millwood's three losses, Texas has only scored a total of four runs and one of those games was a 2-0 shutout at the hands of the Royals at home in Arlington. Angels lefthander Joe Saunders is in All-Star form right now, having won his last three starts and pitching a complete game shutout in his last outing on May 9 against the Royals. That game was significant as Saunders finally broke the scoreless pitching streak of KC's Zack Greinke. The really good news for the Angels is that despite the loss of outfielder Vladimir Guerrero, out since early May with a pectoral muscle injury, Los Angeles has won nine of their last 11 games heading into tonight. Even without Guerrero, this is a pretty potent offense, and the pitching performances of guys like Matt Palmer and Shane Loux have served them well while they're waiting for the return of Ervin Santana, John Lackey, and Kelvim Escobar. No matter who returns to the rotation for this team, Saunders isn't going anywhere and this talented southpaw should be a fixture on this starting staff for some time to come. Take the Angels.

Boston Red Sox at Seattle Mariners
Prediction: Boston Red Sox
Boston is 50-24 their lat 74 games vs. losing teams and they are 37-1 vs. a pitcher with a WHIP of over 1.30. The Red Sox are 10-3 on Friday and they are 28-10 with Jon Lester on the mound vs. losing teams. Seattle is 1-9 their last 10 games overall and they are 0-6 their last 6 games as underdogs.

Dwayne Bryant
MIL (-108) vs STL
Milwaukee (21-14) has won nine of its last 11, compiling a .283 batting average with 18 home runs and outscoring opponents 75-45. The Brewers have also won seven of nine on the road. Milwaukee went 10-5 against St. Louis last season, winning six of nine at Busch Stadium.
Yovani Gallardo (4-1, 3.09 ERA) has won three consecutive decisions while posting a 1.80 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 35 innings over five starts as Milwaukee has gone 4-1.
Kyle Lohse (3-2, 4.25) is 0-2 with an 11.32 ERA and has served up three homers in his last two games. That came after going 3-0 with a 1.97 ERA and one homer allowed in five April starts. Lohse is 3-3 with a 5.22 ERA in 11 games - 10 starts - against the Brewers. He had no record and a 4.26 ERA in three starts against Milwaukee last year, all St. Louis losses.
The Brewers are playing much better baseball right now and Gallardo is in much better current form than Lohse. The Cardinals are also missing two key components in their lineup -- Ryan Ludwick and Rick Ankiel.
I'll take Milwaukee and Gallardo over St. Louis and Lohse for a half-unit.

Pitching Surprise Play
At 7:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing the money line on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Washington Nationals listing both pitchers Joe Blanton and John Lannan. The Phillies enter this series 16-16 overall after dropping a disappointing 5-3 ten inning affair with the Dodgers Thursday night. They meet a Nationals club that is 11-21 on the season. The Phillies will send out the right-handed veteran, Joe Blanton, to the mound. Blanton has posted some ugly numbers so far this season. He has a 1-3 record with a 6.82 ERA and a WHIP of 1.60. Blanton had two outings in April where he could not get out of the 5th inning while allowing seven and six earned runs respectively. However, a look beyond these frontline numbers into some deeper sabermetric statistics suggests that Blanton should be achieving better results. A stat we are very interested is a pitcher's BABIP -- batting average on balls put in play (which excludes home runs as well as obvious things such as strike outs). The utility of the BABIP stat is that it measures to a certain extent the pitcher's team defensive prowess as well measure the luck a pitcher encounters regarding where the balls he allows into play actually go. The average BABIP rating for MLB pitchers is .290. Because BABIP is an attempt to, in part, measure the luck the pitcher has enjoyed previously, over the long run pitchers with low BABIPs are expected to have this number rise while pitchers with high BABIPs are expected to have this number lower. Blanton currently has a BABIP of .343 this season which is high and "unlucky." What this tells us is that Blanton has been unfortunate in that many of the balls he has allowed in play are not being hit towards Philly fielders. He should not to expect that trend to continue since that is a bit a function of luck regarding where the defense happens to be positioned -- which, of course, will then decrease the number of hits he allows as well as then the number of runs he allows. Additionally, the Phillies lead the majors with just eight errors on the season. As time goes by, Blanton will benefit from these balls being hit towards the capable Philly fielders that back him up. Blanton's last two outings suggest he his already turning around his early season difficulties. On May 4th, he pitched six innings and allowed just one run on just four hits in a win at St. Louis. Then on May 9th, while giving up six runs in eight innings against the Braves, two of those runs came on an 8th inning homer he allowed. We are encouraged by the fact that he had five strikeouts with just one walk in that game. Furthermore, he averaged just 13.8 pitches per inning in that outing which suggests that, for much of the game, he was dominant. He compiled 110 pitches which were the most he has accumulated in one game all season -- which explains why stayed in the game through the eighth inning. Blanton is a solid strikeout pitcher. He averages 7.2 strikeouts per 9 innings this season and has a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.8:1 Strikeout pitchers with good control are the ones most likely to pitch themselves out of slumps. Not only can strikeout pitchers get themselves out of jams with their "stuff," but the credible threat of striking out a hitter compels batters to swing earlier in the count. When combined with a low-walk rate, strikeout pitchers gain control of the "chess match" between hitters and pitchers. This is a recipe for long term success. The veteran Blanton certainly has the repertoire to pitch well. In the second half of last season (when he was traded to the Phillies), Blanton was 4-0 with a 4.24 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a very nice low opponent's batting average of just .251. He struck out 52 batters in 76 1/3 innings during that stretch. Blanton has also pitched much better away from Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park this season. On the road in two '09 starts, Blanton has a 1-1 record with a 3.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and an opponent's batting average of .250 in twelve innings. Given these peripheral numbers, we expect a strong performance "surprise" out of the Phillies' starter tonight.
The Nationals send out their ace, John Lannan, with his 2-3 record along with a 3.89 ERA. Lannan does have a high opponent's batting average of .282 along with a worrisome WHIP of 1.50 this season. Lannan is not a strikeout pitcher as he averages just 4.53 Ks per nine innings. Additionally, his K-to-Walk ration is 1.3:1 which is not very impressive since for every four strikeouts, Lannan averages three walks. In 2008, Lannan was 9-15 with a 3.91 ERA overall -- but his numbers at home were noticeably worse as he was just 4-9 with a 4.89 ERA. And, Lannan struggled against the Phillies last year as he was 0-3 with a 5.94 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and an opponent's batting average of a whopping .323 in 16 2/3 innings. Both of these offenses are good; the Nationals average 5.15 runs per game while the Phillies score 5.52 runs per game -- ranking 9th and 5th in the majors respectively. However, the Phillies averaged 4.94 runs per game last season to just the 3.98 average of the Nationals. Over the long run, the Philly crew of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino should out-hit Ryan Zimmerman and Co. this season. If this game goes to the bullpens, the Phillies should have the advantage as the Nationals have an extremely shaky bullpen; collectively, their pen has an ERA of 6.31 with a WHIP of 1.75 and over the last 22 1/2 innings their bullpen ERA jumps to 8.06.
Overall, Philadelphia is an excellent position to win the opening game of this series. Washington is just 16-37 over their last 53 games. Philadelphia is 6-2 in their last eight meetings with the Nationals and 7-3 in their last ten games in Washington. Philly is 8-3 in their last eleven games on the road. And, the Phillies are 10-3 in their last thirteen games in games where Blanton starts. Furthermore, Washington is 10-45 versus the money line (-30.8 units) after four or more games on the road over the last two seasons. Finally, there is a strong 85% system against the money line (33-6 since 1997, +25.2 units) that looks to play on National League road favorites of at least -110 if they are sending a starting pitcher who has a WHIP between 1.55-1.65 while sporting a lineup that averages at least 3.5 extra-base hits a game. The defending National League Champions should knock around the Nationals' Lannan while their starting pitcher, Joe Blanton, should be primed to "surprise" with an excellent pitching performance.

Re: Friday Service Plays
Houston at Chicago Cubs
Pick: Chicago Cubs -150
The Chicago Cubs are beginning to get it going. Last season, they were the only National League team to win over 50 games at home, and they did it by a lot at 55. This season, they are 11-6 at home, and now 7-1 in their last eight outings at Wrigley. They have plated 49 runs in the eight games, or just over eight runs per game. Houston is a weak hitting team that found some success in the thin air and poor pitching in Colorado and in San Diego, who has dropped 19 of 23. They are a poor 5-16 as a +100 to +150 favorite, showing that they have trouble in these situations. The Cubs have been absolute murderers on teams with a losing record as they are now an awe inspiring 41-12 in their last 53 against them. That converts to 77.4% winners, enough for me to back Chicago in this one.

1 Unit on St. Louis Cardinals +105
The Cards return home where they have been unbeatable this season, at 12-5, and I expect them to get back to their winning ways. The Brewers are rolling and Gallardo has been good, but his track record against the Cards is not in his favor tonight as the Brewers are 0-2 in his 2 starts against St. Louis with Gallardo posting an ERA of 9.28 and a WHIP of 1.500. The Cardinals are 21-8 in their last 29 home games and a perfect 7-0 in Lohse's last 7 starts as a home underdog. I'll back the Cards showing good value in the home dog role tonight.

Ben Burns
Oakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers
Prediction: Detroit Tigers
Jackson has a 2.60 ERA and 1.044 WHIP. He tossed seven shutout innings last time out. Anderson got rocked last time out (nine hits and five runs in five innings) and has a 5.79 ERA on the season. Consider laying the wood.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees
Play: NY Yankees
NY Yankees are 209-144 at home since 1997 when the total is 10 to 10 1/2. Minnesota is scoring only 3.6 runs per game on the road this year. Minnesota bullpen has a 5.26 ERA overall this year. Liriano is 2-4 with a 5.75 ERA overall this year and only 1-2 with a whopping 7.87 ERA on the road this season. NY Yankees are 6-1 at home vs Minnesota the past 3 years. We'll recommend a small play on the NY Yankees tonight!
Re: Friday Service Plays
Mike Rose
Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays Under 8.5
John Danks wasnt able to squash his personal two-game losing streak his last time out, but he certainly pitched well enough to do so. The southpaw tossed six-innings of one-run ball against the Texas Rangers and allowed just four hits while striking out a career high 10 batters. Hes been rock solid as a visitor this season posting a 2-1 mark with a 3.44 ERA and 1.15 WHIP allowing just 16 hits and seven earned runs through 18+ total innings of work. Hes yet to defeat the BJs in two career starts, and got roughed up in this venue a year ago in early May when he surrendered seven hits and two earned runs in just 4 2/3rd innings of work.
Brett Cecils more than held his own since being called up to the big leagues a couple weeks ago. In two starts, the lefty has allowed just 11 hits and one earned run while striking out 12 and walking two through 14 total innings of work. His last outing against the weak hitting Oakland As was a thing of beauty. He induced 12 ground-ball outs and made it a point to get ahead of the hitters by throwing first-pitch strikes.
The last thing the BJs want to see is another effective left-hander on the mound after Andy Pettitte and CC Sabathia silenced them in each of their last two games. Danks has more than held his own against Toronto in his career (2.79 ERA & 1.55 WHIP in 2 starts), and this Cecil kid could be a major problem for Chicagos sticks. With both offenses currently struggling, look for Game 1 of this series to be decided by each clubs pitching staffs.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Dennis Macklin
Boston Red Sox at Seattle Mariners
Prediction: Over
Both starters in tonight's Red Sox/Mariner matchup have been lit like Christmas Trees. John Lester is 2-3 with a 6.32 ERA that bloats to 8.81 in his L3. He's given up 65 baerunners in 41+ innings so he's generally pitching out of trouble. The M's Chris Jakubauskas throws batting practice. The righty is 0-4 with and 8.18 ERA as a starter and his 9/11 BB/K ratio indicates that he doesn't miss many bats. This one could go four hours at Safeco, play the Over.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Dave Price
1 Unit on New York Mets +160
The Mets have rattled off 9 wins in their last 11 games and they are showing excellent value tonight against Giants' ace Tim Lincecum as he is 0-2 against the money line against them with an ERA of 4.85 and a WHIP of 1.308. Plus, the Mets have had the Giants' number, having won 6 straight in the series and 10 of the last 13. You also have to like Hernandez's chances against the Giants' bats tonight. He is a perfect 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA over his last 3 starts and he has been sensational in his career against weak power hitting lineups at 9-2 against the money line vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game over the last 2 seasons. Bet the Mets.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays
PICK: Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays dropped the final two games of a three-game series against the Yankees, after winning behind Roy Halladay on Tuesday. As for the White Sox, they lost two of three at Cleveland and will enter this four-game set with the Blue Jays having lost EIGHT of their last 11 games. The White Sox are just 15-18, while the Blue Jays still lead the AL East with a 23-14 record. Toronto continues to get solid efforts from its starting pitchers (nine different players have started a game for the Jays in '09) and it's a big reason why the team's record is so good. Toronto's starters own 16 wins, have a 4.34 ERA and have pitched a league-high 224 innings. Rookie Brett Cecil (1-0, 0.64 ERA) gets the start tonight. He was chosen 38th in the 2007 draft and this will be his third major league start. He gave up just one earned run in six innings of Toronto's 10-6 victory over Cleveland in his major league debut on May 5 and in his second start this past Sunday, the left-hander allowed five hits over eight innings in a 5-0 win over Oakland. He'll face a White Sox team which has failed to hit a HR in FIVE of its last six games (led the majors with 235 HRs last season) and has just 33 on the year (Texas leads MLB with 58). Let's also point out that Chicago's .251 team BA is better than only Oakland's .240 in the AL. John Danks (2-2 with a 3.41 ERA in six starts) gets the start for Chicago. He is coming off an outstanding outing, allowing one run while striking out a season-high 10 in six innings of a 3-2 victory over Texas on Saturday (he got a no decision). However, in his previous two starts, Danks had allowed 18 hits and 10 ERs over just 9.1 innings (9.64 ERA) in back-to-back losses. Toronto has limited the White Sox to 11 runs and a .146 batting average in winning six consecutive home games over Chicago these last two seasons. Take the Jays.

Angels/Rangers Under
Texas looks to make it five in a row when they host the Angels on Friday night. Both teams are sending pretty good pitchers to the hill. Texas is going with Kevin Millwood who is just 3-3, but has a solid 2.92 ERA and 1.051 WHIP. Four of his seven outings have resulted in Unders, including two of his three outings at home. Millwood is 3-4 against the Angels with an ERA of 3.82 and seven Unders in 11 starts. Millwood has had success against Chone Figgins (3-29), Maicer Izturis (2-13), Juan Rivera (2-12), Reggie Willits (1-11), and Erick Aybar (1-8).
The Angels send their opening day starter Joe Saunders to the hill. Saunders is 5-1 with a 2.66 ERA and four Unders in seven starts. In his last three outings, he is 3-0 with a 1.66 ERA and two Unders as well. Saunders is 3-3 with a 4.65 ERA and a WHIP of 1.279 against Texas. Both outings last year against the Rangers resulted in Unders as well. Saunders has held down Nelson Cruz (3-15), Marlon Byrd (1-11), Hank Blalock (1-7), Jarrod Saltalamacchia (1-6), German Duran (1-6), Chris Davis (1-5), and Andruw Jones (0-3). 10 of the last 18 games in this series have also stayed Under the total in Arlington.

NEW DELHI: As the countdown for the Vice Presidential elections begins, the understanding between the United Progressive Alliance and the Left parties is that the latter would initiate the exercise of formalising a candidate.
Sources in the Left parties said the exercise would get under way sometime after the election of President on July 19.
Wide acceptability
One of the main criteria in the election of Vice President, the sources said, is to have a candidate whose acceptability is widest in the electoral college, consisting of Members of Parliament.
Unlike the Presidential election, that is witnessing a three-way division with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Opposition backing Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and the United National Progressive Alliance deciding to abstain, the effort is to have a maximum across-the-board support.
Even though the UNPA on Saturday said the formation would like to contest the Vice Presidential election, some constituents in the alliance including the Telugu Desam Party have indicated that they would not mind supporting a Left candidate.
The Left parties have yet to hold any discussion on the subject and it is understood that it did not figure in the meeting of the CPI National Council that concluded here on Saturday.
Consultations may be over by the next weekend, since July 23 is the last date for filing of nomination for the Vice President election.

Madrid, Spain (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal rallied for yet another win over arch-rival Roger Federer on Saturday to advance to the title match of the Madrid Open.
Nadal dropped the first set on the red clay, but stormed back to earn a 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 triumph in the first of the day's semifinals at the Magic Box.
It marked the 24th meeting between the two men that have combined to win 25 Grand Slam titles. Nadal improved to 16-8 in the series, including a dominant 11-2 mark on clay.
This was also the third meeting in as many years in Madrid, although the last two had come in the final. Nadal beat Federer for last year's title after the Swiss superstar took the championship in 2009.
The top-seeded Nadal will next meet the winner of Saturday's second semifinal between the red-hot Novak Djokovic and unheralded Thomaz Bellucci. Djokovic enters that match with 30 straight wins to start the 2011 campaign, including victories over Nadal in the finals at Indian Wells and Miami.
Prior to the start of Saturday's play, a moment of silence was observed to honor Spanish golf legend Seve Ballesteros, who died early Saturday morning after a battle with brain cancer.
Nadal came out with a break of Federer's serve to start the match, but Federer broke back to even the set at 4-4. He broke again in the 12th game to capture the set, but Nadal roared back.
Federer again had his serve broken to start the second set and Nadal went on to win the first four games of the set. Federer managed one hold in the fifth game, but Nadal held and came up with his third break of the set to finish it.
Nadal gained just two break points in the third set, but converted both and saved the only break point he faced against his own serve. He broke Federer for a 3-1 lead and again in the final game to close it out.
Federer, who also won the Madrid crown in 2006 in addition to his 2009 title, was trying to break a lengthy Nadal winning streak on clay for the third time. He stopped the Spaniard's 81-match clay run in the 2007 Hamburg title match, then ended his 33-match string with the title at this event in 2009. Nadal now owns a streak of 37 straight clay wins heading into Sunday's final.
If he faces Djokovic on Sunday, something will have to give. The Serbian star has already captured five titles in 2011, having followed up his Australian Open crown with tournament wins at Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami and Belgrade.
Djokovic's 30-match winning streak is the longest to start an ATP season since John McEnroe opened his 1984 campaign at 42-0. Bjorn Borg also won his first 33 matches in 1980.
Nadal will be gunning for his 46th career title on Sunday and his third this year. He captured the Monte Carlo and Barcelona crowns in his last two starts and owns a career mark of 45-15 in finals.
This week's winner will collect $874,000.

Concerns persist over closure of Carlisle community hospital
Last updated at 14:09, Friday, 25 July 2014
A politician remains concerned about the closure of Carlisle's community hospital, despite reassurances from health bosses.
Elsie Martlew, deputy leader of Carlisle City Council, believes plans to close Reiver House and care for more people at home are short-sighted.
She has met with members of the NHS Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) but said they have failed to set her mind at rest.
Although she would not comment on the details of the private meeting, Mrs Martlew said she was far from convinced that patients would get the care they needed without the unit.
Reiver House is a step up/step down care facility in the grounds of the Cumberland Infirmary. Following a successful pilot, the CCG has decided to close it and use the money saved to provide better care in people's own homes.
But Mrs Martlew, who represents the Castle ward, said this would not work for everyone – particularly those who needed help using the toilet, were especially frail or had lost their confidence after a fall.
A recent e-bulletin sent out by the CCG aimed to address concerns about the plans.
It said that patients who were too ill to be cared for at home would instead move to a nursing home or their nearest community hospital.
Mrs Martlew said this was not acceptable.
"Another cottage hospital means Wigton, Brampton or maybe Alston.
"I know an 84-year-old woman who was in Reiver House. Her friends used to visit her on the bus. How could they do that if she was in Wigton or even further away?"
"I've no argument with the premise that the less time people spend in hospital is the best way, but some cannot be cared for at home."
She also disputed claims that patients in Reiver House felt isolated because they were in individual rooms, or that there were travelling implications for families visiting.
"That's ridiculous. It's in the centre of Carlisle. They will have more problems if their relatives are in Wigton or a nursing home," she said.
Mrs Martlew also warned other communities that their hospitals could be next if care at home was now favoured. "Are they going to close hospitals in Brampton, Wigton, Millom... and if not, then I ask again, why Carlisle?" she added.
A CCG spokesman responded by stressing that north Cumbria's community hospitals had an important role to play within the new system.
He added that they had already begun extending out of hospital care, coinciding with a gradual reduction of beds at Reiver House over the summer.
"During the transfer four additional beds are being provided in a nursing home setting as well as the beds in community hospitals, including five in Wigton while staff undergo additional training. There are currently eight beds available on the Reiver House ward, and these will be reduced as more staff take up their new roles in the community, delivering the same high quality care within people's homes.
"Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust staff will be working with colleagues from North Cumbria University Hospital NHS Trust, Cumbria County Council, Carlisle City Council and the third sector to provide an alternative to hospital admission where appropriate, and ensure patients also receive community rehabilitation services at home.
"Out of hospital care services have been commissioned by NHS Cumbria CCG following the success of the Mrs Carlisle Hospital at Home pilot project which was launched in September."

In this post there's an interesting discussion of how to acomplish a number of things with regards to permalink structure, and making changes, etc. It got me thinking about a request I've had from a couple of clients that I just haven't felt like playing with (mainly because I haven't been able to come up with much recent/relevent info on the subject). I know that the Codex needs some updating in this area and much of the information there at the moment on these subjects is really more relevant to 1.5.
That being said, here's the issue (well, two issues);
Part 1 - I've got a couple of sites with a limited number of (say 10-20) existing html "pages", the sites/pages all have an existing google page rank of 6-8, the site owners would like to migrate to a simple to use cms or publishing system (i'd like to use WP obviously), but not loose the existing page rank, and get the existing page content into the WP or CMS system. Typically for my own site and a couple of others I operate which use WP, I use date base permalinks like yyyy/mm/dd/post-name-or-slug for posts, and pages end up looking like site-root/page-name-or-slug.
On a couple of occasions in the past I've used permalinks to append .html to posts (to retain page rank and permalink structure for sites migrating from things like MT/TP where the .html ending was the standard) --- Can the same thing be achieved for pages ? I've played with this a bit, but haven't come up with much that really works cleanly and simply other than "hack" methods using contorted .htaccess re-write rules. It also doesn't scale very well for larger sites. Any ideas ?
Part 2 - Category permalinks --
why does WP seem to default to /category/my-cat-name for links/permalinks to posts via categories ? Isn't the /category part just unneccesary cruft in the URL ? I'd prefer links that simply look like /my-cat-name/post-name
This could just be a dumbass I missed the codex page issue, but how can I get rid of the /category part ?

Please Ignore Vera Dietz (2010)
by A.S. King (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A sharply written novel, smart, realistic, and touching.
I am having a hard time pulling myself out of this story to write about why I loved it so much.
Every time I read one of A.S. King's books, I want to read another one. Everybody Sees the Ants, Ask the Passengers, Reality Boy, and now Please Ignore Vera Dietz. She never disappoints. I always want to recommend the one I've just read to someone, like, immediately upon finishing--stop what I'm doing and take it to someone, thrust it in their face, and say, "You HAVE to read this."
Excellent voice, thought-provoking, realistic and heartbreaking but thankfully the book did not leave me feeling beaten down or bitter about humanity. Very interesting structure, too! Interspersed with the current timeline are historical interludes about what happened between Vera and her now-dead former best friend Charlie, as well as sections from the POV of her father, Charlie (as a "ghost"), and a local eyesore/landmark pagoda. I loved how the mystery (what really happened to Charlie) gradually untangled.
Entertaining, interesting book -- but ultimately a mess. Lots going on -- teen death, emerging sexuality, abuse, poverty, alcoholism (teen and parent) and so on and so on. Okay for a mature 8th grader ready for some of these heavier themes.
Angsty, mysterious, dogged -- all the things I like in a YA novel. Our female protagonist is dealing with the death of a friend, delivering pizzas, living with her SAH father, and the onset of graduation. But all these details are methodically revealed throughout the novel through frequent flashbacks, scene changes, and memories.
The style of this book takes some bold risks, doing lots of things they say not to do. 97% of the novel is the main protagonist, but there are scenes from the antagonist girl, the dead boy, even an inanimate building. (And I get yelled at for one head-hopping scene in my novel.) The scenes aren't extraneous, but they do jar one.
But that's the thing. This is a novel for the short attention span. Scenes are short, change time and setting often, to the point where you start to forget what the main timeline is and where we left the protagonist. And it's not like a mystery novel where someone investigates clues. They're just doled out methodically in a sort of flashback history that led to the downfall of these teenagers.
But my favorite aspect is that the novel raises questions, which is what good books do. The title refers to what happens when one chooses to turn a blind eye to events. The "first they came for the Jews, but I said nothing..." problem. The book appeals to the "jaded person in a shitty high school situation" plot, which I'm a sucker for.

May 24, 2015
Wednesday, May 27, 2015 UPDATE:
I'm saddened to tell you of the passing of one of the true gentlemen of our business, MARSELIS 'DIV' PARSONS, who died this morning of cancer at the age of 70. He is survived by his wife and daughter.
'Div' (and no one knows how he got the nickname) was the longtime news director and anchor for WCAX-TV in Burlington, VT, before retiring in 2009. Today, his former station remembers him here.
He was a fixture at RTDNA conventions and always fun to catch up with.
Div had shared the news of his cancer battle with me about a month ago, so naturally I was concerned when I received this 'out of office' email response to the most recent newsletter:
I sincerely appreciate your email and I am always happy to hear from you, however I am unable to respond to your messages.
Marselis Parsons
A gentleman to the end. RIP.
Rick Gevers

New News Director Openings:
KTSM-TV, El Paso, TX…we told you in April 12th edition that REY CHAVEZ was returning to KTSM as ND. 30 years ago he was a director there. He's already left the station, though I don't know the particulars of his departure. Of course, it may have something to do with a GM change (more on that in our GM Notes section below.)

Anne was later promoted to Managing Editor, then Assistant News Director in 2013. She earlier worked in Eau Claire and Madison. Anne's been the Acting ND since LINDSAY RADFORD left to become ND for KMGH-TV in Denver. Lindsay was ND here for seven years.
WOWK-TV, Huntington/Charleston, WV…apparently we're REALLY late in reporting that KEN WHITE is the new news director for this West Virginia Media owned CBS affiliate. He's been there since January (Ken: Why didn't you let me know? ). Ken spent 14 years as ND for WCCB-TV in Charlotte before leaving in 2013.

Names in the News…and other things:
Congratulations to old friend TOM BIER who's retiring from WISC-TV in Madison, WI, after 41 years of service. He's been the GM there since November, 2011, station manager before that, and was the ND for 23 years. Tom served one term as Chair of RTNDA. The station is advertising its search for his replacement above.
One note. Last week, in reporting MATT MILLER's move to Albany as ND for WTEN-TV, I told you that the man he was replacing, DAVE CILIBERTI, had moved to Columbus, OH, but I told you the wrong station. Dave's the new ND at WCMH-TV. Apologies.
General Manager News:
There were a lot of GM changes this week. Four of them were at Nexstar stations:
DAVID CANDELARIA is now the GM at KTSM-TV in El Paso, TX (as noted above).
After 15 years as director of sales, STEPHEN FRIEFELD is the new GM for WJET-TV in Erie, PA.
At KARD-TV in Monroe, LA, RANDY STONE has been promoted.
And another promotion finds WILLIAM EVANS taking over at WSYR-TV in Syracuse.
In Columbus, GA, CRISTINE COULDRIDGE is the new GM for WXTX-TV. The station is owned by American Spirit Media but operated by Raycom under a shared services agreement.
R.J. MERRITT replaces JAIME AITKEN as GM of KREM-TV in Spokane. He's a 15 year veteran of this Gannett owned station.

How are the media influencing political and social debate in Europe and thus also the current bad mood between some European countries? That is the object of this year's M100 Young European Journalists Workshop that invites 20 young journalists from Europe (including non-EU countries) from 1 to 6 September 2013 to Potsdam. The six-day workshop will discuss how the media in different countries is reporting on Europe, the positions it takes, does it really reflect the mood of the population and how different branches of the media in several countries report on the same topic, amongst others.
The workshop is guided by multi award-winning journalist, filmmaker and coach Christian Stahl, and takes place in cooperation with the Axel Springer Academy. In addition to an intensive debate and camera training, participants will research facts, produce videos, texts and blogs, finishing with 20 cross-media theses about Europe.
Conditions of participation:
Young journalists between 18 and 26 years old from all over Europe (including non-EU countries) can apply by submitting a short text in English and the following task: "New Media - New Europe?" Describe in a maximum of 500 words how the media can contribute to overcoming Europe's public crisis. Please include concrete references to the media situation in your home country.
Please include a brief CV (with a photo) and motivational statement in your application, stating your reasons for applying for this particular workshop (both in English). 20 participants will be selected from among the applicants and invited to Potsdam from 31 August (arrival) to 7 September 2013 (departure). The organisers of the M100 Young European Journalists Workshop will cover accommodation and board during the workshop. A travel allowance is provided. The workshop will be held in English.
Please send your application in by 1 July 2013 to Ms Sabine Sasse, firstname.lastname@example.com

What do you get when you puree a delicious, succulent peach and marry it with a lovely dry Prosecco? A glorious tasting Fresh Peach Bellini, the perfect complement to a warm summer evening. We kept our puree a bit thick (not unlike the consistency of baby food - in fact, the puree itself would make great baby food!) as we wanted to retain all the sweet and juicy flavors of the fruit. The result was an almost smoothie-like beverage (for an adult, that is!). Frothy and refreshing! Just another great way to use all those scrumptious peaches that are now in season.

Reducing Fixed Income More 0 commentsMar 23, 2012 5:30 PM | about stocks: AODToday I sold part of my position in Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (NYSE:AOD). This is in line with my strategy of reducing fixed income positions in my portfolio. Another reason: last 6 declared distributions have a big (about 40%) portion of return of capital. Which means that real dividend is only about 60% of what you see in the press releases.

"Whenever someone has been wrongly accused, the harm caused by the accusations might not be immediately undone merely by dismissing them."- Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong in apologizing Thursday to the members of the Duke lacrosse team Next week, while radio host Don Imus is looking for another job, I'd like to see the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson take a trip to Durham, N.C. I'd like to see them organize a protest. I'd like to see all the Rainbow-P.U.S.H. people and all the activists and all the college hippies get together and organize a march. I'd like to see that march start at the home of District Attorney Michael Nifong. I'd like to see Al and Jesse holding signs that say something like "Justice for the Duke Three" or "Nifong got it wrong." I'd like to see them pursue Nifong with the vehemence and relentlessness with which they've called for Imus' job. I'd like to see them demand Nifong not only be disbarred but go to prison. Then I'd like to see the marchers swing by the houses of the people who stood in the courtroom during the Duke lacrosse players' hearing threatening to kill them. Finally, if they can find her, I'd like to see the march end at the stripper's home. I'd like to see Jackson and Sharpton revoke the scholarship that was offered to her after her "plight" became national news. I'd like to hear chants of "Your story was false, so the team walks." I'd like for them to do this for the benefit of three young men who were innocent. They committed no crime other than the politically incorrect offense of being white males. Innocent, despite the affront of going to an affluent, private school. Innocent, despite the thirst for blood by so-called civil rights activists and members of the media giddy over a story with so much sex and racial tension. Innocent. But I won't get my wish, of course. Sharpton and Jackson are too busy trying to crucify a goofball with a cowboy hat and a microphone. Imus was wrong to say what he said about the Rutgers women's basketball team. No doubt about it. And he was wrong to fall back on the tired, old stand-by excuse "I know black people, I have black friends." It damaged his apology. But he did apologize. He apologized on his show. He apologized on Sharpton's show. He is going to apologize in person to the women he offended. He's lost his job. When will it be enough? Should he voluntarily go to prison for a few years? Maybe he should kill himself. Would that be enough? It's never enough because Jackson and Sharpton have conditioned us to believe that there is no leeway anymore, that no apology is sincere enough or contrite enough. It's blood or nothing. Ruin the man. Disgrace him. Who cares what he meant to say? Who cares how sorry he is? He sinned against blacks and women and is therefore guilty without a trial. Hang him. Does that kind of scenario not sound just the least little bit familiar? It's what happened to the Duke boys. Trial by media storm. Convicted and sentenced to a life forever shadowed by the words "racists" and "rape charges." Someone should be standing up for them now. But though the Duke boys might've been oppressed, they aren't black or poor. So Jackson and Sharpton will stay away. They will likely choose to ignore this particular injustice. Black people should demand better of the people who claim to represent them. Civil rights activists ought to fight for the rights of all people, not just the ones whose plights are convenient to a cause or conducive to getting their faces on television again. Imus made a target out of people who didn't deserve it, and he paid the price. The Duke athletes didn't deserve to be targets either, but now their names are also forever linked to unjust accusations. The people who were so quick to defend one group should now stand up for the other. They should scream for apologies, fairness and justice for them now in voices just as loud as the ones they used to call for their heads then.
