2 safe 14 hours after boat capsizes off Mass.
SALEM, Mass. Two men whose boat capsized off the Massachusetts coast are safe after a 14-hour ordeal that ended with them being rescued by a passing fishing boat.
The two New Hampshire men were found Saturday morning off an island in Salem Sound.
WCVB-TV reports George Reynolds, of Derry, and Fred Schaeffer, of Raymond, were found clinging to the multi-hulled boat around daybreak. Reynolds tells the station the men knew their best hope of rescue was to stay with the boat and not panic.
Coast Guard officials tell The Boston Globe the men were able to maneuver a plank over the hulls, allowing them to sit above the chilly waves.
Overnight temperatures Friday were in the high 50s.

Movie Battles III is a team and class based third person shooter inspired by the Star Wars franchise and built on the Unreal Development Kit. We ask you to build your own hero and pit him or her in combat against a wide variety of other would be heroes. Who will you be?
This is going to be a quick walkthrough of how configuring the base Unreal Development Kit game works. As MBIII currently does not have it's own menu for changing graphic options in-game, you will be required to manually change them yourselves.
Posted by johsupa on May 16th, 2011
Basic Other.
To start this tutorial off, you must have the Unreal Development Kit, or Movie Battles III (when it's released), installed. To find the config files - labeled UDK*.ini (* = specific config file name) - you will need to navigate to C:\UDK\UDK-2011-* or C:\UDK\Movie Battles III, and go to UDKGame -> Config.
UDKEngine.ini holds all of your graphic information. Things like texture quality, super sampling, and rendering will be in UDKEngine.ini.
UDKInput.ini holds all of your binds and controls. Things like your key bindings for movement, and your mouse sensitivity, will be in UDKInput.ini.
UDKGame.ini holds all of your personal information. If you don't have Steam, you will need to set your name in UDKGame.ini. Steam will automatically use your Steam display name if you are, however.
Now to start: Open up UDKEngine.ini in notepad (this will be the one we are going to look at, as it contains graphic options that may or may not speed/slow your computer).
Search for [SystemSettings]
Graphic Information:
Resolution Information:
PhysX Information:
By default PhysX will be disabled with bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport. If you have an AMD graphics card, keep it to true, as AMD doesn't have native PhysX support.
When you've changed what you like, save the file, and all of the changes will take effect as soon as you start up the game.

I'm not the type of girl that you'd find in a spin class or in a yoga center or in any other place where healthy people go to stay in shape. I'm pretty inconsisent with the whole healthy thing in general. There are some days where you'll find me in some new Nike gear proclaiming that I've become a vegan rock climber. But there have been months at a time when I've used my much too expensive gym membership soley for the steam room and spent nights at my favorite fried chicken spot. With spring around the corner, I really need to put down the bucket of chicken and rediscover my inner vegan rock climber again. And the only thing that really motivates me, is having a friend like Denise—she works in beauty too, and is a die-hard Soul Cycle rider—to force me to get it together. And Ben, the hot spin instructor, did not hurt the cause.
Denise knows me too well—she took me to the most hip-hop of all the spin classes. The key to choosing the right class for you is make sure that you're feeling the music. It'll help you stay amped up and motivated to cycle a little harder than you would to boring music. Ben played Lil Wayne, Rick Ross's new album, Rich Forever and "Rack City" by Tyga. (I feel like we're kind of meant to be. If you're single, hit me up). If you're feeling adventurous, rumor has it that an instrutor named Danny is known to spray champagne all over the room during his class!
Even though I was completely sore afterwards and more starving than I've ever been, I'm SO looking forward to my next class. I finally get why people are completely hooked on the Soul Cycle train. It's only forty-five minutes, it's fun and you feel what I think comes very close to being euphoria when it's all over. I can't say why, but I promise you that it's a different (and way better) kind of great feeling than what happens after a run or some time on those stationary cardio machines.
And don't worry about it being too hard. If I can do it—trust me—you can too. Plus, once you get into the swing of things it's easy to start acting like a healthy person. And you'll feel a lot less guilty about the piece of chocolate cake that you did not need to eat after lunch yesterday. Why did I eat that though?
My philosophy is that you only live once, so why not be as healthy and hot looking as you can possibly be. And my hip-hop philosophy also applies here: Ride or Die.
Book your class at Soul Cycle today. Let's be skinny together!

Product Details

In Topper, Cary Grant and Constance Bennett star as George and Marion Kerby, a fun-loving couple who find themselves in limbo as ghosts after an unfortunate auto accident. Deciding that heaven is just one good deed away, they turn their attention toward their dull friend Cosmo Topper. But Topper is one stodgy banker, and it'll take all the high jinks the Kerby's can muster to haunt Topper into loosening up and living it up. In Topper Returns, Cosmo Topper finds himself once again spooked by a ghost. This time, it's the young and beautiful Gail Richards, the accidental victim of a phantom killer whose intended target is wealthy heiress Ann Carrington. Set on finding her killer, Gail enlists the help of Topper with hilarious results in this zany and entertaining murder mystery.
A classic screwball comedy with a supernatural twist, Topper stars the incomparable Cary Grant and sparkling Constance Bennett as George and Marion Kirby, a fun-loving couple who cap an evening of jazz and champagne by running their car into a tree. They return as ghosts with a mandate to liven up the straight-laced hen-pecked life of bank president Cosmo Topper (Roland Young), who's hungry for just such a shake-up. Before long he's boozing, dancing, and getting into fights, all of which gives him a rakish reputation--much to the consternation of his wife (Billie Burke, best known as Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz). The sequel replaces Grant and Bennett with Joan Blondell, who can't quite compare, but she's charming in her own way. Topper Returns is a rambunctious murder mystery with some gorgeous sets and elegant cinematography--the sequence of Blondell's death and ghostly rise is dazzling. --Bret Fetzer

Every day I get an email from United States Citizen.
I don't know who US Citizen is, but that's not really unusual. Newspaper editors get emails and calls from many folks who prefer to stay nameless.
Occasionally we get repeated emails and calls. US Citizen is one of my examples.
US Citizen is often worldly, but his/her latest email hit home by focusing entirely on Illinois and the state's exploding government debt. US Citizen isn't happy about it.
I've been meaning to share a US Citizen email. This appears to be the right one.
Here you go, blog readers. From US Citizen in its entirety::
"In our Illinois, small business means big business. Driving economic growth for small businesses requires doing all we can to make sure government is not in the way…we leave no worker behind."—Gov Pat Quinn
To those familiar with reality, it would appear that there is disconnect between it and Quinn's rhetoric. In the real Illinois, 33% of residents live at or near poverty, 575,000 people are out of work and thousands of parents put their kids on a bus to a school that is failing. Illinois has the worst-funded pensions in the nation yet 80% of every tax-hike dollar paid in 2012 went to government employee pensions. Illinois' credit rating is at the same risk level as Botswana. Illinois has been downgraded 11 times since Quinn took office with the worst credit rating in the nation. Illinoisans work 208 days to pay off the burden of government.
Yet Quinn & the liberals/democrats have been fighting for more BIG-government involvement not less. Despite the fact that Illinois already has $9.3 billion in unpaid bills from his government involvement. More government of course requires higher & higher taxes and less and less prosperity & freedom.
These factors help explain why Illinois has one of the least competitive economies in the nation. Illinois ranked near the very bottom, 45th in GDP growth from 2000 to 2010. Yet Illinois' combined federal and state corporate income tax is near the top, the 4th highest in the industrialized world.
Illinois' exploding government debt is crowding out economic growth & investment, destroying the state's future in the process.
It's time for Illinois, a democrat Party run state, to face reality, escape the past and provide bold solutions that match the challenges we face. More government is the problem, not the solution.
Here's a list of a few other real facts more and bigger government is the cause of:
-Unemployment was 8.7% as 0f 12-2013

We had our anatomy scan today and found out that we're having a little girl. Yay! This confirmed my doctor's guess at the NT scan. The baby is growing well and everything looked good. No soft markers, no need for an amnio. She's actually measuring 5 days ahead.
BUT my question is about this: The perinatologist said the umbilical cord is usually attached to the middle of the placenta. Our baby's umbilical cord is attached at the very edge of the placenta instead. So, I am going to be seeing the perinatologist every 4 weeks so she can monitor it via ultrasound. (In addition to my usual OB visits). She said it could lead to a low birth weight baby. But she was pleased that so far our little girl is measuring a little big. I asked if there was anything I could do and she said to keep eating well. If I am gaining weight, then the baby is gaining weight.
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this? Do you know what it's called?

I have Java 6 SE, Tomcat 6, Eclipse Helios for J2EE, Chrome Browser Dev for JS up and working. Sometimes I need the source and doc for java libraries I believe are in the EE kit. What is the best way to get the source and doc and be able to use it in my dev environment without messing it up?
Is this as simple as running the Java 6 EE install package on Vista 64bit?

So, yeah.
And they cut Craig Monroe.
I wouldn't have cut our only guy with 10 wins....but that's just me. I think we could have replaced someone else than Livan.
Ik i am worryed but hopefully it will all work out and i feel bad for Livan he had been doing great early.
We should pick him up, that way he can party with Jose and Alexei.
Livan was a good veteran presence for the young pitchers but his ERA was well over 5.00 and he gave up way too many hits and was very consistent at being inconsistent. I won't miss him much when the Twins have Liriano coming back up to the big leagues. Even if he just has a 3.5 ERA, he will be an upgrade over Livan. I'm thankful for everything Livan did for and gave the Twins but it's time to make a serious playoff run and Liriano needs to be the one leading the way!
i was wondering if the Twins were going to have the balls to cut Livan. Liriano appears ready to come up and, ironically, the worst performing pitcher was the veteran. Let's hope this move pays off...
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice?
Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.

You act like 3.50 is average. A 5.00 ERA will be an upgrade over Livan.

Carmen M.'s Profile
1. Being Loved by God
2. Being Chosen by God
3. Being Saved by God
My list is a list of things that bring me joy; because happiness is temporal, fleeting and we usually give control of it to others. But joy, is something that lives down on the inside and is illuminated from the Holy Spirit (a gift from God); something that no one or nothing can take away. So I am entitled to unspeakable joy everyday!!!! Thank you Lord!!! My joy is then increased as I tap into the Spirit inside me and it flows outward, bringing more joy back to me as I pour it into the lives of others around me.
This joy that I have, the world didn't give it and the world can't take it away!! Praise God!!!
"Create a list with 3 things in your life that make you happy"
Thanks Rose B. and S.R. for the encouragement! I really needed the little nudge!
Boy did that stretch feel great! I've been glued to my chair for a few days now, hammering out school work, reading, studying, typing. I was getting really stiff, so I decided to take a break and check my e-mails and such, when I remembered I hadn't completed today's challenge (hint hint, Rose B. and S.R., thank you again). The stretch really invigorated me and actually woke me up, lol! It really felt good on my back and right side. So again, DC, you were just what I needed!

"Plan to stand in a powerful pose for 2 minutes before your next important conversation or meeting"
From my bedroom? I guess I must have missed something along the way. Has social media really invaded the bedroom? The last thing I'm thinking of before I turn in for the night is definitely not Facebook, emails or texts. I'm usually so tired, I barely remember to turn off the light, lol!
Have a great day!
"Be anti-social tonight: no emails, texts, tweets, or Facebook updates from your bedroom"
I will be more than happy to do this; it may mean turning off my phone so I don't get any calls. But, a woman has to do what a woman has to do! Let it be done!!
"Avoid serious, stressful conversations or problem solving within 2 hours of bedtime"
Never thought about doing a to-do list at night; makes sense though. The only thing is God's plans are not my plans and His ways are not my ways. I had really gotten away from making a to-do list. I get up in the morning, meditate, pray and ask God what would He like for me to do today. I figured I should align myself with His will because what He desires is what normally happens anyway. Why worry about what I get done, don't get done, yada yada yada! I've learned over the years to allow Him to direct my path and everything that I get accomplished in that day is exactly what I was supposed to do. Makes life so much easier. Especially since I don't have the obligation to be at a job for 8 hours or children to attend to.
Loving my life!

Good morning!
Although I have cut caffeinated beverages from my diet, I had no idea there should be a 6-hour grace period before bed. WOW, amazing . . . learn something new everyday! Wonder if this means chocolate too! Geesh, the little pleasures of life wiped out in 6 hours. That means I can't have any chocolate after 4:00 p.m.? I'm overwhelmed, lol! I guess I better get off of here so I can get this chocolate party started!
Just kidding, I know better!
Have a decaffeinated Wednesday!

Improved connectivity and better memory management allows results to be accessed, printed out or downloaded to a memory stick via the USB port, or to a personal computer via the RS232 Port. The avcount2 can also be controlled via the RS232 port. avcount2 utilises 16 point calibration and can be re-calibrated on-site by a Seta trained engineer.
AvCount Laser Particle Counter ASTM D7619, IP 565, DEF STAN 91-91
AvCount Laser Particle Counter for DEF STAN 91-91 (ASTM D7619, IP 565), used for measuring particle contamination in aviation fuels, fuel oils, diesel, kerosene, gasolines, biofuels.
- Fully automatic operation
- Particle size 4μm to >70μm
- Cumulative & distributive particle numbers
- ISO4406: 1999 codes
- Uses "Straight from the Bottle" samples
- Precise and reliable results
- Laboratory or portable field use
- Calibrated in accordance with ISO 1117
AvCount is a new laser based particle counter for checking and maintaining the quality of fuel throughout the distribution network. Fuel types include aviation turbine oils, biofuels and biofuel blends, heating oil, gas oil, diesel - automotive and marine, gasoline and kerosine.
For Aviation Fuel:
ASTM D7619, IP 565 - Determination of the level of cleanliness of aviation turbine fuel - Portable automatic particle counter method
Seta 'AvCount' Particle Counter IP 565 is now included in DEF STAN 91-91, Issue 6 for Certifying Jet A-1
The avcount particle analyser is a rugged and portable instrument specifically designed for testing the particulate content of fuel for particles ranging from 4μm to >70μm diameter.
The avcount uses the light obscuration principle, where the fluid under test is passed through a cell comprising a laser and a calibrated sensor. Particles in the fluid cast a shadow onto the sensor, which determines the area / diameter and number of particles in the sample.
Sampling and measurement is simple; fuel is drawn from a sample container or directly from the supply line. Avcount has a 10 bar standard pressure rating or can sample up to 315 bar line pressure using the optional pressure reducing system. An integral pump automatically draws the sample through an internal measuring chamber, removing the need for an external sampling pump.
Avcount is fully automatic once the test sequence is started. The instrument flushes the cell with sample prior to commencing the measurements. A precise volume of sample is then analysed. The flushing / sample analysing sequences are automatically repeated in accordance with the selected test method.
Results are displayed on the LCD screen in real time and printed out on the integral printer as the test progresses. The results are shown for 6 particle size bands in Particles/ml and ISO Code. Results can be saved to memory for trend analysis of samples, printed out on the integral printer or downloaded to a PC or external printer.
The "Log and Show" software option allows data to be downloaded from the instrument to a PC in different formats and allows the instrument to be fuly controlled and configured from any Windows interface.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
I hate writing these kinds of columns. I was sitting at my desk, working on a story, when I heard the news.Australian actor, Heath Ledger, dead at 28. It might not have been on the level of the death of Elvis Presley or John F. Kennedy or John Lennon, but it was still sad. In everything I'd ever seen Ledger in, he gave a great performance. I loved him in "A Knight's Tale," and when I heard he was playing The Joker in the newest "Batman" movie, I was excited. Granted, I had no desire to see him in "Brokeback Mountain," but that's less about him and more about the subject matter of the film. I knew he'd turn in a quality performance, regardless. Given Ledger's talent, and the tragic nature of his death, I wondered about the kind of coverage his death would receive from the entertainment media in Hollywood. When I heard the familiar tune of the "Entertainment Tonight" theme, and I looked up at the TV, I got my answer. There was a short blurb about Ledger's death, teasing to more information later in the show, and then it was back to business as usual - the all-important update on the life of Britney Spears, followed a few minutes later by the latest news related to "American Idol." Somehow, even the sad and untimely death of a young Hollywood star takes a back seat every now and then. I'm not saying every show on TV should have suspended everything they had originally planned, and only run news related to Ledger's death. But we already know what the stories about Spears and "Idol" would say: Britney's losing it, and half of those singing kids never had it. Ledger fans, on the other hand, deserve to hear at least a little bit about why the man died at such a young age. Don't get me wrong. As I understand the early reports I'm getting about Ledger, his death may have been drug-related. If those reports are true, I want to be careful about how much I defend him. Perhaps the entertainment media is thinking the same thing, and wanting to be careful about how much they pay tribute to him before finding out all the facts. Maybe there just wasn't time to put together a story about Ledger's death. Still, knowing that there's at least the possibility that drugs were involved, is it the best course of action to gloss over his death before smiling for the camera and talking about what stupid thing Britney just did, or how badly the "Idol" kids sang? Maybe I'm crazy, but I think in this case, the media dropped the ball, opting once again to chase after ratings. It's not terribly surprising, I guess. But it's still sad. Jason A.

A.M. Best Affirms Ratings of Catlin Group Limited and Its Subsidiaries Business Wire LONDON -- July 25, 2013 A.M. Best Europe – Rating Services Limited has affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) of "a" of Catlin Insurance Company Limited (CICL) (Bermuda), Catlin Insurance Company (UK) Ltd. (Catlin UK) (United Kingdom) and Catlin Re Switzerland Ltd. (Catlin Re) (Switzerland). A.M. Best also has affirmed the ICRs of "bbb" of Catlin Underwriting (CU) (United Kingdom), a non-operating holding company and Catlin Group Limited (CGL) (Bermuda), the ultimate parent company of the Catlin group. Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the debt ratings of "bbb" on USD 600 million preferred stock issued by CICL as well as "bbb-" on USD 27 million subordinated floating rate notes and EUR 7 million subordinated floating rate notes issued by CU. The outlook for all the above ratings remains stable. The FSR of A (Excellent) and ICR of "a+" of Lloyd's Syndicate 2003 (United Kingdom), which is managed by Catlin Underwriting Agencies Limited, remain unchanged following the rating actions taken on 19 July 2013, on the Lloyd's market. At that time, the outlook for both ratings was revised to positive from stable. However, due to an administrative error, these rating actions were not released until 22 July 2013. The ratings of Lloyd's Syndicate 2003 reflect the financial strength of the Lloyd's market, which underpins the security of all Lloyd's syndicates. Catlin UK and Catlin Re's ratings benefit from the explicit support provided by CICL, in the form of capital contributions to sustain growth. Additionally, Catlin Re remains of strategic importance to the Catlin group as the provider of significant intra-group reinsurance protection and as the platform for expansion of the group's reinsurance business in Europe. CGL's consolidated risk-adjusted capitalisation is expected to remain at a strong level in 2013, supported by high retained earnings. Additionally, the adverse development cover purchased in 2012 remains in place, limiting CGL's consolidated underwriting risk exposure. Pre-tax profits in 2013 are expected to remain comparable to the USD 339 million reported in 2012, subject to normal catastrophe activity for the rest of the year. Despite exposure to the US tornadoes and the European floods during the first half of the year, A.M. Best expects a combined ratio between 90% and 95%, supported by rate increases, largely derived from the major loss affected classes of business. Contribution from the group's conservative investment portfolio of cash and fixed income securities is likely to remain low, reflective of the low interest rate environment. The Catlin group maintains a robust business profile, supported by its well-spread underwriting hubs in the United Kingdom, Bermuda, United States and other international markets—including Europe, Asia-Pacific, Canada, Guernsey and South America—which provide access to a broad range of property/casualty business. In spite of the group's strong competitive position in the London market, which is supported by the profile of Syndicate 2003 (accounting for 60% of consolidated gross premium income), prospective growth is expected to target the better priced segments of the local US and international markets. Positive rating actions are unlikely in the near future for the Catlin group, whereas unexpected weak operating performance or a deterioration in its risk-adjusted capitalisation could lead to negative rating pressure. A factor that may lead to positive or negative rating actions for Lloyd's Syndicate 2003 is a change in the ratings of the Lloyd's market, which currently has an FSR of A (Excellent) and an ICR of "a+", with a positive outlook. The methodology used in determining these ratings is Best's Credit Rating Methodology, which provides a comprehensive explanation of A.M. Best's rating process and contains the different rating criteria employed in the rating process. Best's Credit Rating Methodology can be found at www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology.

Nashville, TN
(615) 344-9551
HCA – formerly HCA-The Healthcare Company – is the one of the largest, for-profit hospital operators in the United States. Published reports show HCA owns nearly 180 acute care, general, and psychiatric hospitals; and 78 freestanding ambulatory surgery centers located primarily in the Sunbelt in the United States, as well as a few holdings in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The company's annual report shows medical facilities square footage to be 41.9 million. Numbers provided by HCA in the Buildings' questionnaire say the company has more than 300 buildings in its system, totaling 66 million square feet. Besides health facilities, these include a five-building, 828,000-square-foot headquarters complex in Nashville and service centers throughout HCA's market areas. The dollar volume of spending in 2003 for capital expenditures is estimated to be around $1 billion with new construction of about 1.4 million square feet and modernization projects equaling more than 800,000 square feet. During the design of every facility, HCA requires the inclusion of a plan for future expansion of several key clinical areas: the emergency department, imaging department, operating suite, and critical care and medical-surgical patient rooms.
[Editors' Note: While state codes and American Institute of Architects guidelines set minimums, the facilities professionals at HCA have developed their own design standards to go above those requirements. At the same time, these professionals take a very aggressive – and forward-thinking – stance in long-term decisions regarding building components and systems (making appropriate determinations on initial vs. life-cycle costs), wisely conscious that value engineering claims may have little to do with value or with engineering. By building mock-ups for new spaces – and involving physicians, nurses, and staff in testing – surprising insight and cost efficiencies on the viability and functionality of future planned spaces have resulted.]

Online help-wanted ads picked up a bit last month but still remain a far cry from where they were a year ago and fail to keep pace with joblessness, the Conference Board reported Monday.
Seasonally adjusted, the number of postings on Internet job boards in Wisconsin grew to 61,900 last month from 59,500 in June, according to the business research group. Metropolitan Milwaukee also had more want ads online last month, although those numbers weren't adjusted for seasonal fluctuations.
"It's good news anytime demand for work stops dropping," said David Riemer, director of the Community Advocates Public Policy Institute in Milwaukee.
But even if advertised openings keep ticking up, the job shortage is profound, Riemer said. Not including dislocated workers who gave up looking for a job or settled for part-time positions, Wisconsin had more than 278,000 unemployed jobseekers in June, or 4.68 for every online want ad, according to the report.
That compared with 4.47 jobseekers per opening nationwide and 3.92 in metro Milwaukee. That means if Wisconsin employers filled every one of their advertised openings, the state would still be more than 218,000 jobs short, based on the Conference Board numbers.
"What are we going to do with all those people?" said Riemer, who supports government-funded transitional jobs to help workers until the private job market recovers.
Of course, not all jobs are advertised.
In fact, employment counselors commonly emphasize a "hidden job market" of opportunities outnumbering advertised openings. Marilyn Mullen, one of a number of human resources professionals working with Milwaukee-area jobseekers, said mining Internet job boards can be worthwhile.
"It is part and parcel of an entire job search strategy, which encompasses several tactics, one of which is a job board but also networking within your own network and job-seeking network support groups as well," Mullen said.
U.S. hiring markets rely on word-of-mouth networking more than some European countries, where more centralized information is available on job openings, said John Heywood, a labor economist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. And though there's a sense of unfairness and inefficiency from getting jobs based on whom you know, it also has benefits, Heywood said.
"You could argue that you might get better matches in the end," Heywood said, "even if it takes a little longer to find them if you use those insider networks as opposed to a general clearinghouse."

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Jhoulys Chacin carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Colorado Rockies edged the San Francisco Giants, 5-4, in the rubber match of a three-game set at Coors Field.
Chacin (13-7) gave up just one hit, a Brandon Crawford blooper to center with two outs in the seventh inning, while striking out nine to finish August with a 4-2 mark.
"We were going to let him chase a no-hitter as long as it took," Rockies manager Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "After he gave up the hit I didn't want to let him go after that."
Wilin Rosario went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored and Yorvit Torrealba added a pair of RBI for the Rockies, winners in four of their last six games.
Rex Brothers spun a perfect ninth to notch his 14th save.
Brandon Belt went 1-for-2 with an RBI and two runs scored while Buster Posey and Hunter Pence finished with one RBI apiece for the Giants, losers in seven of their last 11 games.
"He mixed it up, we chased some pitches and just couldn't get anything going against him." Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Chacin.
Madison Bumgarner (11-9) gave up four runs -- three earned -- on five hits while striking out six over 5 1/3 innings to absorb the loss.
The Rockies rallied for four runs in the sixth for a 5-1 lead. DJ LeMahieu singled and Troy Tulowitzki walked to open the frame. After Michael Cuddyer struck out, Rosario dropped a bloop single into center to score LeMahieu.
After Nolan Arenado reached on a fielding error by Crawford, Torrealba stroked a ground-rule double to right center to score Tulowitzki and Rosario. The Giants intentionally walked Charlie Culberson to get to Chacin, but the pitcher made them pay with an RBI ground out.
San Francisco rallied for three runs in the eighth to pull within 5-4. With two on and one out, Belt smacked a ground-rule double to left field, plating Gregor Blanco. Posey then scored Marco Scutaro with a ground out to short before Pence brought Belt around with a single to left field.
Colorado jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Rosario singled then scored on Arenado's double to center field.
San Francisco knotted things up in the fourth due to sloppy fielding. Belt walked then moved to third on Tulowitzki's fielding error off a Posey grounder. Pence then grounded into a double play, but it was enough to score Belt.
The teams combined for five errors (Colorado three, San Francisco two) ... The
Rockies went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position ... Chacin tied a
season-high in strikeouts. He fanned nine on May 27 ... The Giants were
2-for-7 with RISP.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Luxury Middle East Holiday
More than meets the eye

From pristine beaches and seas teeming with dolphins and turtles to dusty villages and ultra-modern shopping malls. The outsider's view of the Middle East is certainly muddled, and though it happens to contain plenty of desert, certain areas (like Dubai) serve as both a dynamic international business centre and laid-back escape.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Katie did an amazing job on our wedding highlights video. We will watch it for years and years and be able to reminisce about our day. The packaged DVDs of the ceremony and highlights is beautifully done. Thanks!!
Katie put together an amazing pre-wedding video, which we showed at our reception. Everyone raved about it and we were extremely pleased. She was able to take our ideas and concepts and create something funny, memorable and exciting. Katie also captured our ceremony and reception. She was a complete professional the entire time. We look forward to seeing the final product.
Katie is incredibly professional and I highly recommend her. She (and her assistant) blended into our wedding day so well that when it was over, neither my husband or I could even remember if she was there! So imagine our delight when we got the video back and it captured every single moment. Her style is unobtrusive and no one should worry if they feel uncomfortable around a camera. We LOVE the finished product and have received so many compliments. (See it here: http://vimeo.com/36107774) It's fun to show friends who were unable to attend. She showed an impressive level of accommodation when I asked her to make a few special edits-- she made the adjustments immediately and they were exactly what I asked for.
Katie was an angel sent from above! Two weeks before my wedding I contacted her in hopes she was still available and to my luck she was! She was very responsive and quickly gathered all background information she needed. The day of the wedding she was prompt and worked in stealth mode. I hardly knew she was there and she was able to gather many candid shots. My highlights video was more than what I could have asked for. Katie and her crew did an amazing job.
Katie Durski did a wonderful job on our wedding video. We received so many compliments on how artistic and creative the final product was. Katie really captured all of the moments that we remembered as special moments that day and then some. Would highly recommend KD Productions for your wedding video!
Katie and her husband were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend KD productions! We ended up deciding to book a videographer just a few weeks before our wedding and Katie did a great job of responding quickly and helping us pick a package that fit our budget. Hurricane Irene hit the day of our wedding - despite the chaos and crazy weather, Katie stuck with us through the wind and rain and captured all the important moments. Our video is beautifully done and still brings tears to my eyes each time I watch it! I would definitely recommend KD productions!
My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding - and boy are we glad that we did! KD Productions helped us to remember the special moments in the most important day of our lives. Her profesionalism and creativeness helped make our highlight video one we'll always cherish and are happy to share with friends and family. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer!

Re: ipod won't show up in itunes in response to BranDPod
Does the iPod appear to charge when you plug it into your Windows XP machine? What shows on the iPod's display when you have it plugged in?
I assume you have tried different USB ports and a different USB sync cable?
Hvae you tried connecting the iPod to a different Mac or PC to see if it's recognized there? This can help determine if you have an iPod issue or a PC issue.

Re: ipod won't show up in itunes in response to BranDPod
I have an Ipod Touch 4G and the iTunes on my computer has slowly been dying for a while now.
It no longer connects to the internet, it cant inport CD's (unless i get really lucky, in which case for every CD i want to import, i have to have iTunes open, active and on top, then put my laptop to sleep, then wake it up again WITH the CD in it, and then wait around ten minuites for it to respond again. And not it wont sync my Touch, But i will sync my old nano.) these reasons alone are enough. its complicated, because i use my touch for looks, games, socialising, and music (out loud) but the touch is going down too, With the earphone jack dead, Screen craked (ok, that was my fault) software slowing down and response times going up.
ANYWAY, all i want is some new music on my ipod. Is that too much to ask?
So it wont connect, but the Nano will.
Please help, or else i might just go all out windows - "throw apple out the Windows" so to speak. NOT a happy iCustomer, Apple.
anyway thanks, please help me out.

Rachelle, the COT 320 is a fine paper -- it is what I am using for my platinum/palladium prints. But I do get better results pre-treating the paper in a bath of 5% oxalic acid...which seems to indicate it does have a slightly alkaline sizing in it. This wetting and drying the print might also help with countering some of the sizing...just a guess. You might try soaking the paper in hot water for a few minutes, then drying it before your next printing session. Just another odd-ball thing to try. Of course if you had some Oxalic acid sitting around the house, you might try soaking it in that instead of plain water. Another strange thing you could try would be to pre-coat the paper with a dilute solution (2%) of citric acid (vitamin C from the local health food store) using the rod...let it dry, then coat with your cyanotype chemicals. I have no idea what would happen...but acidity does seem to help.
Perhaps your local chemist (do you call your pharmasists that in Canada?) has a little dichromate. All you need is about 5 grams in a liter or two of water.
Yours, Vaughn

New C-Class Estate: SA pricesComment on this story
Estate cars are a very rare entity on South African streets but those looking for an elegant way to enter the traditional wagon market can opt for the all-new C-Class Estate from October.
The estate is now available to order and Mercedes-Benz SA is giving you three basic options.
C 250 BlueTec - R558 400
The all-turbo engine range offers two four-cylinder petrol options in the form of the 115kW/250Nm C 180 and 135kW/300Nm C 200 and diesel-heads can opt for the ultra-frugal C 250 BlueTec, which develops 150kW and 500Nm.
As with the sedan, Estate buyers can choose between two versions of the conventional steel suspension (a sporty set up or a more comfy one) and those seeking the ultimate magic carpet ride can order theirs with Airmatic air suspension.
There's also a choice of four interior and exterior styling and equipment grades ('line concepts' in Mercedes-Speak) which are: Standard, Exclusive, Avantgarde and AMG Line.
Despite weighing less than its predecessor, the new Estate is a larger car and the increased dimensions allow for increased legroom, more interior width and headroom, as well as up to ten more litres of luggage space - which varies between 490 litres and 1510 litres depending on whether or not you fold the rear seats.
