Benifits--I beleive the benifits are very good.
I have worked there for so long, the pay ranges increase faster than my raises. So I'm always at the low end of the pay scale.

I worked at American ExpressDoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEODoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO
Stable, and relative freedom if you stay away from management.
Dilbert principle is rife, blame intensive company, fear of failure at the cornerstone of making people work harder, anybody who works smarter is cornered off by an intrinsic inner network of bureaucrats who have no real power other than to target defensive attacks on their ivory towers. Consumes good people for the benefit of middle/upper management. Upper management have very little concrete delivered results by their own efforts, as the rely on good people they push around or get rid off over time. The company in general after 20 years is destabilising under the forces of new technology and leaders who are out of touch. The best approach of fixing it is to hire new graduates who haven't been burn't by the company.
Advice to Management
Get rid of the middle management layers. Onshore and promote more extremely technical process engineers with real industrial experience rather than politicians.

"American Express...A good place to work, even with the cutbacks! "

- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at American ExpressRecommendsApproves of CEORecommendsApproves of CEO
American Express really values its employees. There are opportunities to grow and develop, especially if you seek them.
American Express has strong core values and the leadership team live by them.
Compensation is comparable to other companies. Maybe a little better...Benefits include medical, dental, vision insurance, 401K, profit sharing and a generous package of personal time off. Employees are even allowed to purchase a week of vacation!
Telecomuting is an option in many areas of the company.
Skill and style of leadership varies. But, generally, leadership is adequate.
Senior company leaders are doing a good job leading the company through these hard economic times. Yes, there have been some layoffs. But, overall, they were handled with a high degree of sensitivity and the severance packages are better than some from other companies.
Times are tough and so is American Express!
American Express has agressive goals (this is both good and bad). It is good as it challenges employees to grow. However, it makes work/life balance difficult if not impossible to acheive. Leaders talk about the importance of work/life balance. But, in practice, most people work 50 hours per week or more.
Another, down side of American Express, is that many jobs are being moved out of the US. This may keep the company strong, but, it is difficult for employees. Every year, more and more people are let go in the US.
The compensation package and benefits are also being scaled back. Each year, employees bear more of the cost for insurance. This year, due to the bad economy, the company is no longer matching employee contributions to the 401K.
Times are tough and so is American Express!
Advice to Management
These are tough times. Leaders need to be strong and compassionate, and innovative. My recommendation is to be responsible and lookout for the people who have made this company great.
Please try to keep your US employees employed. It is good for the economy. It is good for the country. And, it is good for the company.
Consider, temporary pay cuts, furloughs, job sharing and, early retirement packages, etc, rather than displacements.

SasuSaku Week - JealousyIt was a nice, relaxing day in Konoha, if you didn't mind the heat, Konoha's summer seemed to be a torture for all the people, ninja or villager. Naruto dragged Sasuke to Tsunade to complain about the fact that they couldn't rest because they were on duty, waiting for a mission. Naruto stormed through the door and woke up a drunk Hokage.More Like This
"Naruto you baka! You have to knock! You can't just storm into my office!" screamed an angry Tsunade.
"Chill Baa-chan, you can continue sleeping when you allow us to rest, we want to be able to cool off, just waiting for a mission is boring." explained the yellow-haired annoyance. Tsunade sighed.
"And you swear that you will go away and won't disturb me again?" came Tsunade's question, she sounded like she didn't believe that Naruto wouldn't burst into her office like that again.
"Believe it! Come on Sasuke-teme, we gotta rescue Sakura-chan!" and with that, the door closed again and Tsunade's head dropped on her desk.

World Nuclear University
The World Nuclear University (WNU) is a partnership which was created in 2003 on the 50th anniversary of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 'Atoms for Peace' initiative, and is recognized as a "Partnership for Sustainable Development" by the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD).
The WNU is a not-for-profit organisation which runs a series of programmes throughout the world. As of September 2011, over 2200 nuclear professionals and students from over 60 countries have participated in WNU programmes.
The majority of WNU programmes are aimed at professionals already working within the nuclear industry, and the programmes aim to further the cause of the peaceful applications of nuclear technologies. Many are focussed on building leadership skills, and providing a broad perspective on the key issues in peaceful nuclear applications.
WNU programmes[edit]
The major programmes offered by the World Nuclear University are:
Summer Institute[edit]
Run every year in July and August, this is the biggest event[1] on the WNU calendar. The Summer Institute is an intensive six-week leadership development programme tailored specially to young leaders in the industry. The programme is composed of lectures, small working group activities and a technical tour which combines to give participants a grounding in all aspects of the nuclear industry, with additional presentations focussed on specific aspects of leadership. Each year a small number of Fellows participate thanks to IAEA[2] 'Technical Cooperation' sponsorship.
School of uranium production[edit]
The School of Uranium production is run under WNU auspices from the Czech Republic. The programmes[3] focus on all aspects of uranium production, from surveying and exploration, to extraction and ore processing, environmental and health protection and the decommissioning and rehabilitation of mining areas.
One-week course[edit]
WNU also runs a number of one-week courses, held with partner universities around the world. The 'one week' courses are focused on "Key Issues in the World Nuclear Industry Today" and they are open to all interested participants. They are focused on improving younger people's knowledge of today's nuclear industry, and exploring where nuclear might go in future.
One-day course[edit]
The WNU one-day courses are an intensive way to quickly address the many important issues in nuclear technologies. The courses are often held on a request basis, and can be focused on the requirements of the host company. Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and no prior knowledge of energy, electricity or nuclear is required.
Nuclear Olympiad[edit]
The International Nuclear Olympiad was held for the first time in 2011 in South Korea. It is a contest for university students around the world to research and develop a plan for gaining public acceptance of nuclear technology in their country.
School on Radiation Technologies[edit]
The WNU School on Radiation Technologies is a three week programme designed for promising young professionals working in radiation-related industries, research institutes and universities. Like the Summer Institute, this programme features lectures, group activities and technical visits.
The WNU founding members include the World Nuclear Association (WNA), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD-NEA). The WNU is also supported by a substantial number of intergovernmental organisations, academic institutions and industry globally.[4] The WNU is run from the WNU Coordinating Centre, hosted in the WNA offices in London, UK. Much of the staff time and support dedicated to the WNU is provided on a pro-bono basis by the WNA.
The WNU President is Mrs Agneta Rising, WNA Director General. The WNU's Chancellor is Dr Hans Blix, the IAEA's Director General-Emeritus, who headed that UN agency for 16 years and later served as chief of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission. The Head of WNU is Dr. Patricia Wieland.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Don Brown is the author of Thunder in the Morning Calm, The Malacca Conspiracy, The Navy Justice Series, and The Black Sea Affair, a submarine thriller that predicted the 2008 shooting war between Russia and Georgia. Don served five years in the U.S. Navy as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps, which gave him an exceptional vantage point into both the Navy and the inner workings "inside-the-beltway" as an action officer assigned to the Pentagon. He left active duty in 1992 to pursue private practice, but remained on inactive status through 1999, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He and his family live in North Carolina, where he pursues his passion for penning novels about the Navy. www.donbrownbooks.com Facebook: Don-Brown
In Paris, attorney Jeanette L'Enfant smiles as she answers the phone, expecting to hear from the man she plans to marry, Jean-Claude la Trec. Instead she hears terrorists demanding that he tell them where she is. Then she hears him murdered. She flees with the terrorists close behind.
In Hawaii, Lieutenant Commander Zack Brewer, America's most famous JAG lawyer receives a recall to San Diego. His life is in danger in part because he's tried two internationally acclaimed cases dealing with terrorists, and in part because he's so drop-dead handsome that women swoon over him and his pictures have become common in the gossip tabloids, much to his chagrin. The swooning women include the NCIS agent detailed to protect him, Shannon McGillvery.
Assigned to a case to try a SEAL who made a homosexual assault on other SEALs aboard a submarine, Zack becomes the target, perhaps literally, for the presidential candidate, Eleanor Claxton. She leaps forward to defend the SEAL in public in order to boost her poll ratings in San Francisco.
After Zack advises the defendants' newly graduated JAG lawyer, she asks to meet with him following Claxton's meeting with the SEAL. However, the meeting never takes place because Zack finds her dead at their meeting place. And Shannon fears that Zack may be next.
As she follows leads, Shannon discovers that Diane may still be alive, but how can she convince the brass to believe the evidence? How can they find Diane, and what price will her love for Zack lead Shannon to pay?
A former JAG officer, Don Brown has written an exciting third story for The Navy Justice Series. Except for Zack's being so outrageously handsome, the characters feel authentic. The plot moves along rapidly. Brown displays a good knowledge of international tensions, alliances, and undercurrents. Eleanor Claxton bears a striking resemblance in personality to an actual candidate running for president, adding to the sense of authenticity. With its combination of action and romance, men and women should both be able to enjoy this story.
Brown has left some plot threads dangling, so we may hope to read another in this series soon. Debbie W. Wilson, Christian Book Previews.com

It serves Chinese food for breakfast, nearby Chinese stores, good wifi.
Too near the highway so you have highway noise.
Paying extra for a friend to stay
Employees were pleasant
I came there with my family which included a toddler. He found a sharp object on the floor. Which looked like either a thumb tack or needle. Which tells me housekeeping didnt clean properly. I also did not like the smell of the hotel and the rooms. Smelt like old people
Room was nice & clean
Was very disappointed that I called for some toothpaste and was asked to come downstairs to get it myself.
Clean and quiet.
A rattling noise from behind the headboard and a non-working minifridge in the room.
Breakfast, beds, pillows and blankets were all good.
Didn't like the channel selection in order to entertain kids.
- 24/7 access to amenities, such as microwave, eating utensils, snacks, etc.
- lots of parking indoors and outdoors
- large, comfortable room
- carpet in the room was a little dirty
Staff was very nice. Hotel rooms and beds were clean.
Wifi was slow.
Not very clean rooms. Bathrooms were not well kept. Beds not very comfortable
Clean and good Sunday brunch
Customer service was very poor we stayed her our wedding night and had our out of town family members stay her also wish we would have stayed some where else my mom worked really hard on gift bags that the radisson said they would give out to our family members at check in and never did plus there was a mix up with out room and we didn't get the king bed we were looking forward to
they are frendly and very clean
The staff was friendly allowed me a really early check in at no charge which was amazing.
It IS a motel and the room was a little distressed. It was pretty clean from what I saw, but the mirror had some kind of burn mark, the toilet seat was all scratched up, and the water coming from the sink was cloudy so I didn't even want to shower there!
The room had a strong mold smell and the desk furniture legs were broken...Poorly kept up. The TV was an old box style and the bedding, pillows were poor.
Actually, we were quite pleasantly surprised. On our VERY low budget we went with the most inexpensive place and yet every one and everything was wonderful. The building was a wee bit old, thus the 9 rating for the room, but it was comfortable and clean.
Nothing . . . everything was wonderful - GREAT staff! Bent over backwards to accommodate us!
Grounds are nice and very well kept Staff is very helpful Room was clean and nice but my room faced the 10 freeway so I heard traffic all night Overall a great deal for thr price and the free hot brrakfast was very good
When I turned on the TV the sound came on but no picture While I was waiting for the maintenance person I decided to order room service which would probably have been very goid but no menus in the folder When I called room service ext She said she would have a menu brought to me but I never got it Ended up ordering pizza delivery
The grounds are nice
The rooms are large
Beds very comfortable
the only way to get internet is in the lobby, it is said to be in all rooms
the a?c did not work
Location Price Ammenities
Noise level of our room. Single pane windows did not keep freeway noise out and w/ TV on, it did not help. My son & I hardly got any sleep. :/
Great location and friendly staff.
Limited parking
Friendly staff, clean rooms, pool and close to other places like family dollar, restaurants and stores
Nice staff and clean rooms
I loved how they had a separate room for the beds and a living room! Very clean and I definetly would stay here again
I have no complaints.
Rooms are all suites. Has a lounge and restaurant.
We were on the top floor and during the middle of the night it started raining and the roof started leaking right on my head. The staff very quickly moved us to another room. Also when we came back to the hotel on Sat night, the lounge was closed at 8:30p
The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room had all the required necessities.
good room
cable tv
Comfy beds
The only thing I didn't like was the fact that there were baby cockroaches crawling around our room... ew. But the staff was friendly and they did have a small breakfast. If they didn't have the roach problem its a good place!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I am ecstatic about the whole transaction of my wedding invitation and RSVP card. Once I submitted my customized text, someone actually CARED . . . edited it for perfection. Getting married in 2015 is easier (and somewhat under more of my control) than it was in 1994. :-)"
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"
"These invitation definitely exceeded my expectations! I love WeddingPaperDivas new thermography collection; great quality! The staff and designers went out of their way to personalize my wedding invitations and made sure that what I envisioned is exactly what I received! I was able to customize wording/fonts/colors and formatting."
"These Invites came out beautifully. We changed around a bit of the wording- tailoring them for our wedding. We both loved them. They are unique and memorable."


text: Had dinner in the restaurant of this hotel. Everything was average. The food quality, the seating arrangements, the service, all of them could not achieve a "above average" mark. In fact we had to wait for long to get our food orders. Not recommended as their are plenty of options nearby.

Red Sox manager Terry Francona waited as long as he could. But in the end, there was little choice.
The Sox were 18-7 in the 25 games since they had shuffled the lineup and installed Dustin Pedroia in the leadoff spot while putting J.D. Drew behind him in the second spot. But that team success had come largely despite Pedroia's struggles in the role: he had played in 24 of those games, hitting .214 with a .264 OBP and .565 OPS as the leadoff man.
The Sox could endure that sort of struggle while other members of the lineup were clicking. But as offensive futility spread like a virus up and down the lineup in recent days – the Sox having scored three or fewer runs in six of their prior 10 games entering Monday – a move seemed timely.
And so, Francona moved Pedroia down to the second hole that he occupied for most of his 2008 American League MVP season. Drew, meanwhile, moved up to the top spot in the order.
The results were almost instantaneous. Drew led off Monday's 4-0 win against the Orioles (recap) with a triple (just the seventh extra-base hit to lead off a game for the Sox this year), and then scooted home when Pedroia singled back up the middle. Later, Drew capped the scoring by launching a two-run homer to right-center in the fourth. For the night, he had three hits while scoring two runs and driving in a pair. It was one of the most productive night's by a Sox leadoff hitter this year.
So what was the secret to Drew's success in that role on Monday? Apparently, it was ignorance.
"Honestly, I had no idea I was (hitting leadoff)," Drew said on the Post-Game Show after the victory. "I was walking off the field from batting practice. (Third-base coach DeMarlo Hale) said, 'Hey – you're swinging the bat good, like a good leadoff hitter.' I said, 'What are you talking about?' He said, 'You're hitting leadoff.' I was like, 'You've got to be kidding. I had no idea.'
"I very seldom look up there," Drew admitted. "I've been in the two-hole quite a bit here lately. Really, I don't know where I'm at until game time most of the time."
Pedroia, on the other hand, seemed both aware and relieved by his return to his most familiar lineup spot.
"I think I've been trying to do too much, and it backfires, especially when you have a lot of energy," Pedroia told reporters. "When you hit leadoff, you want to get on base so bad. And I'm a little bit of a hacker."
For a night, at least, the top of the Red Sox lineup seemed very much at home. That development served as the backdrop as four other lessons were digested on Monday:
Jon Lester's recent run verges on the ridiculous.
The 25-year-old tossed seven shutout innings on Monday against the Orioles in which he allowed just five hits (all singles) and no walks while striking out eight. The outing reflected continued excellence, as Lester has allowed one or no runs in five of his last eight outings.
In six starts since May 31, he is now 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA. He is leading the majors in the past 30 days with 52 strikeouts (most in the majors) in just 40 innings. He has been, in a word, overpowering. The Orioles clearly had little idea what to do against him, with their lineup taking some of the ugliest swings imaginable against the pitcher, particularly while flailing at a nasty curve.
Of course, that is nothing new for the Orioles, who have seen Lester at his best. Lester improved to an astonishing 8-0 with a 2.18 ERA in his career against Baltimore. Only three other active pitchers in the majors are undefeated with that many victories against a single club in their active careers:
Randy Johnson is 13-0 against the Cubs
Roy Halladay is 8-0 against the Twins
Jason Schmidt is 8-0 against the Marlins
Jonathan Papelbon had not even pitched a big-league inning before members of the Red Sox recognized that he had a chance to distinguish himself. Minor-league pitching coach Al Nipper encouraged Papelbon to believe that he could break Roger Clemens' franchise records.
Perhaps because of those sorts of conversations, the right-hander arrived in the majors and, prior to his first appearance on July 31, 2005, gave teammates the impression that he was not about to shy from any challenge.
"(Papelbon) came in (the clubhouse) and I asked, 'Are you scared?' He said, 'Hell, no.' That's when I thought, 'Okay, we might have something,'" former Sox pitcher David Wells once recalled of Papelbon's first appearance. "He has a chance to be a (bleeping) superstar."
Less than four years later, Papelbon has fulfilled that expectation. He is a three-time All-Star, has the lowest career ERA (1.85) of any pitcher in baseball history since the end of World War I (minimum 200 innings) and has been a singular force at the end of games.
On Monday, Papelbon was summoned to preserve a 4-0 lead with two on and two out. As he had 131 times before, Papelbon closed out the win, getting a pop-up to shallow left from Orioles catcher Matt Wieters on which outfielder Jason Bay made a game-ending diving catch.
Papelbon's 132nd career save tied him with Bob Stanley for the most in franchise history. With the same brashness that greeted his journey through the Sox' minor-league system and then his entry into the majors, the 28-year-old closer pronounced the accomplishment a starting point for the fulfillment of his goals.
"It's the beginning of my career to try to be something great," Papelbon told reporters. "(The Red Sox saves record is) something I thought about last offseason, and hopefully it's something when I'm done with my career it'll be one milestone I was able to accomplish. Obviously I want to go for a lot more."
When four runs represent an outburst, then something is clearly amiss with a team's offense.
Even so, the broader view for the Red Sox lineup is fairly promising. On the year, the Sox are averaging 5.2 runs per game, fourth most in baseball (though, notably, third in the A.L. East). The team is averaging 5.1 runs per game in June, fourth best in the majors.
But it's almost puzzling that the team has been able to achieve that sort of success. While he was atop the lineup, Pedroia was merely one of several members of the club to struggle.
Of the regular lineup, six members (Jason Bay, Jason Varitek, Nick Green, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell) have averages worse than .250. Four (Bay, Green, Lowell, Pedroia) have OBPs of .308 or less.
All of that suggests that the coming couple of weeks will be significant for evaluating the Sox' offense. While the team has a remarkable degree of pitching depth, the same cannot be said for its lineup.
Lowell is out at least until Friday while recovering after fluid was drained from his right hip and he received an injection to ease the discomfort in that area. There is a chance that he will land on the disabled list, and it remains fair to wonder what kind of production he might offer over the duration of a season in which he is still recovering from surgery.
Jed Lowrie, who might have represented an option to play third base in Lowell's absence, remains slowed in his minor-league rehab. Following a surgery without known precedent among baseball players, it remains to be seen what kind of offensive performer he might be down the stretch. Meanwhile, the Sox lack minor-league infielders in the upper levels who can provide reliable thump.
As such, even though the team continues to win, it may be compelled to make a deal for a bat in July, particularly if the team's recent offensive struggles become more pronounced.
Entering Monday, Drew had come within one hit of the cycle on 15 different occasions in his career. He'd missed the cycle by a double four times, a triple nine times and a homer on two occasions.
So, when Drew dug in at the plate in the eighth inning armed with a single, triple and homer, he had little doubt about what he wanted to do.
"There's not a player alive that wouldn't know that situation," Drew told reporters. "I was just going to hit the ball and run straight to second, right through the middle of the infield, if I had to."
Instead, Drew grounded out against reliever Chris Ray. And so his brother Stephen Drew, who hit for the cycle last Sept. 1, remains in possession of familial bragging rights.
More importantly to the Sox, however, is the fact that Drew continues to reach base. He now has a .433 OBP in June, fourth best in the American League among hitters with at least 50 plate appearances.

A Tree for All SeasonsPosted by Treetopia in Decorating Ideas for Every Christmas Tree - (0 Comments)
When it comes to home decorating, Christmas may be the easiest and most popular occasion for bringing out the interior decorator in you. The key to every Christmas décor scheme is the Christmas tree. Your Christmas tree décor can essentially only go two ways: you can either stick to the traditional method of decorating or break free from the shackles of Christmases past and find new ways to make your tree more distinct and personal. While some traditionalists may insist on combining the two, this still counts as a way to infuse your tree with your own unique touch.
Dress (Your Tree) for Success!Posted by Treetopia in Decorating Ideas for Every Christmas Tree - (0 Comments)
Decorating a Christmas tree might seem like a walk in the park, and it might even be, but if you want a tree that will wow everyone who lays eyes on it, there are a few guidelines to be followed. Think of your tree as a blank canvas on which you can create a masterpiece that reflects your personality and aesthetic sensibilities. If you're just going through the motions, it will show in the way you set up and decorate your tree. Getting an expensive tree is not the be-all and end-all of holiday decorating so it's important to give YOUR tree YOUR undivided care and attention.

Roto Arcade
Over/Under: Fish phenom returnsBrandon Funston at Roto Arcade36 mins ago
Miami welcomed the return (from Tommy John surgery) of Jose Fernandez this past week (6 IP, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K). Before bowing out early in '14, he owned a career ERA under 2.25 and a K/9 rate over 10.3. Now that he's back and, so far, throwing as hard as ever (95.7 mph average fastball), can the young Cuban at least pitch somewhat near his career levels to this point - O/U 2.99 ERA and 9.25 K/9? Also, O/U 74.5 second-half innings pitched?
Daily Dime: L.A. lefties, Seattle rightiesScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade11 hrs ago
I'm not going to sell you on Max Scherzer or Coors Field (weather permitting), I suspect you can get there on your own. Let's look for some names under the surface. As always, consider the lineups and the forecasts before you make your final DFS decisions.
Brett Anderson, SP, vs. PHI (Billingsley), $7900 on Fan Duel: Although Anderson is the highest Tuesday favorite by a mile, he's merely the No. 11 pitcher by price. The Phillies do better against lefties than they do against righties, but it still washes out as the No. 28 offense in scoring. If you like the pitcher, you run to this matchup. Anderson is in fine form, with a 1.61 ERA over his last four starts (three of them victories).
Closing Time: Welcome to Juan Uribe WeekScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade14 hrs ago
You could add Juan Uribe for the clubhouse chemistry, or for the hot bat he's swinging. The tie breaker should be the schedule.
When we last talked about Uribe, he was the 36-year-old third baseman creating a multi-car pileup in Los Angeles. The Dodgers traded Uribe to Atlanta in late May, essentially to open up time for Justin Turner (and not Alex Guerrero, as I suspected). Uribe had a .596 OPS at the time, so no one thought too much about it.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Uribe's first 35 games in Atlanta have been fun: .305/.364/.500, six homers. He knocked three out of the park last week and had a couple of hits in Monday's victory over Milwaukee. He's the No. 10 third baseman in Yahoo leagues over the last two weeks.
The payoff to the story should be later this week, when Atlanta heads to Coors Field for a four-game junket. Thin air, the cure to all that ails us. The Rockies have a 5.42 ERA at home, the gasoline alley of the majors. No other pitching staff is close.
Daily Dime: It's a good day for Dodgers, PhilsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade1 day ago
We have a few small weather concerns on Monday — Kansas City certainly looks like a problem — but nothing we can't manage around. As always, be sure to double-check lineups before it's too late. Now let's get to the usual bargain hunt...
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Joc Pederson, OF, vs. Phi (O'Sullivan), $3300 at FanDuel: Left-handed hitters have slashed .369/.424/.730 against O'Sullivan so far this season (41-for-111, 20 XBH), which is, of course, ridiculous. Seems like a good day to stack a few Dodgers LHBs, doesn't it? I'm rolling out 2-3 in pretty much all lineups.
First Down: Steve Smith one of several WR seniors with gas-in-tankBrad Evans at Roto Arcade1 day ago
Welcome to the research season.
Soon some 50 million fantasy maniacs will thumb through volumes of scouting reports, stats and trends to put themselves in a position to CRUSH the competition. Questions, some rhetorical and some not, will be bandied about in an attempt to separate the loved from the loathed. Can C.J. Anderson thrive in Gary Kubiak's zone-blocking scheme? Is Tevin Coleman, battling Devonta Freeman and Antone Smith for the Falcons' starting gig, worth the dice roll in the middle rounds? Was Martavis Bryant's spectacular rookie stretch a mirage? Is it possible for Geno Smith to not royally suck?
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Dilemmas …
However, of all the characteristics weighed, none is more divisive than date-of-birth.
Mostly MLB Notes: Talking Zack Greinke and a look around the leagueDalton Del Don at Roto Arcade2 days ago
I mostly stayed away from Zack Greinke in my drafts before the season, worried about him having to receive a "lubricating injection" in his elbow in February. But that's clearly been to my detriment, as his consecutive scoreless innings streak is now up to 27.2, a span in which he's posted a 0.65 WHIP. He's also allowed one run or fewer in 10 of his last 12 starts, yielding more than three in just one of 17 outings this season. Greinke's LOB% (88.9) is the highest in MLB, so he's clearly been lucky with runners on base, but no pitcher with a 1.58 ERA won't have some statistical category that isn't fortunate compared to league average. And while that will regress, Greinke has otherwise been unlucky with a modest seven wins while pitching so well for a Dodgers team with a 114 wRC+ that ranks second in all of baseball. He sports an 11.0 SwStr% and has been the No. 11 fantasy player over the past two weeks. Greinke has been one of the biggest fantasy steals so far this season.
This disc golf shot was no joke.
This kid's magic skills are ridiculous.
Daily Dime: J.D. Martinez in the D, Brian Dozier against a leftyScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade2 days ago
Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away. Check that weather, run some lineups, set your dream team. We're here to help.
J.D. Martinez, OF, vs. TOR (Estrada), $4300: He's had a pretty good 22-game run, wouldn't you say? It adds up to a .360/.396/.849 slash line, with 13 homers and 32 RBIs. Martinez's best output this year has come at home (.983 OPS) and against right-handed pitching (.572 slugging percentage). Take some hacks in The D. Marco Estrada generally keeps the ball in the air, too.
Gerardo Parra, OF, at CIN (Leake), $3000: Life is better with a little Rico Suave in your life. Parra carries a zesty .824 OPS against righties this year, and over the last month he's a .356/.500/.525 man, with four homers and five steals.

Daily Dime: Going with Carlos Martinez, Joey Votto, Troy Tulowitzki and even Mike TroutDalton Del Don at Roto Arcade3 days ago
Here are 10 DFS recommendations for Saturday but be sure to double-check the weather and lineups before first pitch approaches.
Carlos Martinez, SP, vs. SD (Despaigne), $10000 at FanDuel: His control could still use some improvement, but Martinez has a 25.9 K% combined with a 2.20 GB/FB ratio this season. He also sports a 10.4 SwStr%, so he's become an elite pitcher, thanks mostly to his newfound ability to get left handers out. The Cardinals are one of the most favored teams Saturday (-185), while the Padres' .668 OPS against RHP has been the fifth worst in all of baseball this season.
Joey Votto, 1B, vs. Mil (Nelson), $3400: He has nine homers over 127 at bats with a .406 OBP and a .504 SLG at home this year. In fact, he has more walks (31) than strikeouts (30) at GAB. Jimmy Nelson has allowed a .308 BAA with a 1.76 WHIP when facing LHB.
Robinson Cano, 2B, at Oak (Graveman), $2700: He's 7-for-14 with two doubles and a homer over his past three games, so I'm going to continue to go with someone with such a strong track record at such a cheap price.
Daily Dime: Wacha, Panda and other Friday delightsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade4 days ago
I'm back from vacation, thrown immediately into the DFS fire. We have some wetness in the Friday forecast, so buyers beware. Prepare to tweak lineups as needed.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Michael Wacha, P, vs. SD (Cashner), $8600 at FanDuel: OK, sure, Kershaw is the best available starter on Friday, even if he's facing a pretty fair opposing starter (Syndergaard). But Kershaw is also Friday's priciest option, massively more expensive than Wacha, a guy with a 1.10 WHIP. St. Louis hosts the Pads, and San Diego enters the day ranked next-to-last in the N.L. in on-base percentage (.295).
Pablo Sandoval, 3B, vs. Hou (Straily), $2400: Straily is obviously a hittable right-hander and Sandoval is slashing .314/.366/.492 against RHPs this year. Panda's performance versus lefties has been atrocious, as most of you know, but he's a quality option in this spot.
Closing Time: Kyle Gibson's steady improvementScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade4 days ago
For all the time a young player spends working out, practicing and honing his craft, there's no substitute for experience. It still stands as the best teacher, the concept of learning on the job, making mistakes, adjusting the approach, growing into the gig.
With that in mind, we present to you the case of Kyle Gibson, third-year pitcher with the Twins. Maybe things are starting to clear up for him.
Although Gibson was the 22nd pick in his draft class six years ago, his first trip around the majors was a rocky one. He posted a 6.53 ERA in 10 starts two years back, and modestly improved (4.47 ERA) in a full season last year. He wasn't on anyone's mixed-league radar entering 2015.
