Experience Limerick,the Riverside City
Limerick City is a busy, bustling city and the commercial capital of the Mid-West of Ireland. It is a compact, walk-able city where most of the sights and attractions are within a stone's throw of each other. Its castles, ancient walls and museums are testament to its dramatic past.
Limerick City is the third largest city of the Republic of Ireland, situated on the River Shannon ,the longest river in Ireland. Celts & Normans left their mark in this town & in 1691 after the Battle of the Boyne, the Treaty of Limerick was signed on a stone known as The Treaty Stone that has become a famous landmark.
The oldest part of Limerick is King's Island with its narrow medieval streets & King John's Castle which was built by the Normans in the 13th century.The castle is now a museum that portrays 800 years of the city's & Ireland's history.
Limerick is a renowned sporting city, famous for its love of rugby and is home to the iconic Thomond Park Stadium. Limerick is often referred to as the spiritual home of Irish rugby and its passionate Munster rugby supporters have been described as among the best fans in the world.
Located in the city centre,the traditional Milk Market is a fresh food produce market,operating on Saturday morning.In the old market buildings which surround the market proper a wider selection of goods are available including clothing,fresh fish,farm meats & organic fruit & vegetables.
There is always something to do in Limerick City which is virtually bursting with fascinating historic sights, wonderful old pubs, fashionable bars, glossy shops, smart restaurants and good transport links . Whether you are a fan of theatre, opera, ballet, modern dance or something more active like rugby, Gaelic football or hurling Limerick city offers these in abundance.
Dolan's pub,in an old warehouse, is one of the best comedy and live music venues in the country. Limerick lays on a compelling menu of festivals and events throughout the year including the internationally renowned EV+A exhibition, Riverfest and the MBNA Limerick International Music Festival with the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
About 10km outside Limerick is Bunratty Castle & Folk Park where you can learn about Irish life in the 14th century.The pubs & restaurants of the Folk Park offer a good variety of traditional Irish food & in the castle you can take part in a Medieval banquet.
County Limerick, contrasting with the City, is a place of quiet beauty and rural charm. Its gentle undulating landscape is pleasing to the eye from rural mountains of Ballyhoura, the beautiful Golden Vale in the east of the County through to the tidal estuary of the River Shannon.

"A great home base for budget travelers to visiting the west of Ireland"
We finished our Ireland trip with Pat at his comfortable property only 25 minutes from the Shannon Airport. Pat was an incredibly gracious, knowledgeable, helpful host. This spacious and affordable self-catering accommodation provided us a perfect location, convenient to the airport and away from the crowds. We are" do-it yourselfers" and "off-the-beaten path" travelers so this fit the bill for us perfectly. July and August are the heavy vacation times in Ireland and many of the most popular places can get very crowded. Pat suggested a few things to see, such as the Clare Glens, that were both uncrowded and beautiful. The loft kitchen had a large skylight that you could stand up and look out at the idyllic countryside surrounding the property. The gardens were well-maintained with eye-catching flowers throughout the property. There was ample parking at the lodge, which is another consideration not to be taken for granted. We wish we had known about this property for the first few days of our trip because it would have been perfect place to unwind after the long overnight flight to Shannon and it would have been more accessible for a newly arrived Yank coming to grips with driving in Ireland. A couple of things you need to know. The stand-up shower is a bit tight for someone like me who is bigger than the average bear, but if I can get in it you probably can. Second, Internet and laundry facilities are provided in the main house not in the guesthouses, which are separate from the main house in a remodeled stable or carriage house. We found this to be common at all but one of the places we stayed during our 16 days in Ireland. Third the stairs/ladder to the well-equipped loft kitchen might prove to be a problem for some travelers. For us this added to the charm, authenticity and character of the lodge. If these prove to be insurmountable problems for you, be advised that you could end up spending twice as much or more for self-catering lodging during Ireland's high season. For my wife and I, my needing to squeeze into the shower was a small price to pay for the hospitality, privacy, affordability and convenience of Coolbegs Lodge. Thanks Pat, hope to see you again next year.

RE: Anyone been to Wiesbaden?
Why Wiesbaden, then? Go to Munich or Salzburg, from there Berchtesgaden ("Eagles nest") is easily accessed, Austrian borde is right there too. Than you can go to Berlin, either direct or with detour to Wiesbaden. Depends how many days you have in germany.
Concerning aviation, Munich is a good idea either.. there are WW2 planes on display in Deutsches Museum, and in Oberschleissheim there is the "Flugwerft", a formaer airplane factory which is a museum now.

RE: Anyone been to Wiesbaden?
For the most interesting displays on WW2 avation you have to look elsewhere. The few planes which survived in Germany had been mostly brought abroad.
~ 1,5 hours south of Wiesbaden there is the Technik Museum in Speyer and Sinsheim.
and Speyer as such is always worth a visit
In Berlin there is the Deutsches Technik Museum Berlin with a just recently opened new building on avitation.
In Munich there is the Flugwerft Schleißheim, a branch of the Deutsches Museum Munich (a very large technical museum).

After a Thai couple named their sextuplets after their favourite car brands, Kipp takes a look at seven other car-themed named children from across the world
July 10, 2012 4:41 by Jyothi M.V.
The Sextuplets
A Thai couple named their sextuplets after their favourite car brands — Audi, Fortune, Porsche, Mini, Volks and Fiat. The sextuplets, three boys and three girls, were born at Bumrungrad International Hospital early May but appeared in public for the first time with their mother Duangchanok Wangwitthayaskul, last Friday on the Rueng Lao Chao Nee morning news programme on Channel 3 in Thailand. Duangchanok's pregnancy was the result of in-vitro fertilisation. After the birth of six children, the parents invited their relatives to help care for children and hire three nannies.
The six babies were named after their parents 'favourite car brands: Audi (girl), Fortune (Toyota Fortune) (girl), Porsche (boy), Mini (girl), Volks (boy) and Fiat (boy).

A Texan couple, Mac Neil and his wife Joanne, decided to name their children after luxury car manufacturers, after she spotted a Lexus SUV parked at the local McDonald's. She was contemplating on names like Alexis and Alexa, until she saw the luxury SUV. Her daughter is named Lexxus, 'Lexus' with an extra 'x' on insistence from the baby's father to make it more original. But baby Lexxus is not alone. According to baby names on social security applications in the U.S., 353 girls were named Lexus in 2000. Another couple, Kirsteen and Stu Vaughan named their Baby girl Madison Lexus after she was born in the car.
*Image source: journallive.co.uk
Porsche and Audi
Craig and Sondra Harrington of Kilgore had named their first daughter (now 6 years old) Lexus, so when they found out they were expecting twins, they wanted to keep up with the car-themed naming convention, and now their two newest additions are named Porsche and Audi.
Samantha Smyth and Tony Richardson named their baby Kia Richardson as she was born in the back seat of her grandmother's seven-seater Kia, just before her grandparents arrived at Poole Hospital in Dorset. The local dealership of Kia Motors decided to gift them a car after hearing they had named their baby Kia. And it is the same model baby Kia was born in, with a five-year warranty. Michael Cole, managing director of Kia Motors (UK) Ltd said: "All of us at Kia are delighted for Tony and Samantha and flattered that they have called their new baby Kia after she was born in granny's Carens. We know how good the Carens is for families – especially growing ones – so we thought we should help them out by giving them a Carens of their own."We would like to welcome Kia to the Kia family and wish her a wonderful life."

Roger Karr Jr. had been searching for names for his baby boy for months. But when he watched a movie called "Crank," with a character called "Chevy" he thought it would be the perfect name for his son. Incidentally, half of his family members drove them, and Roger himself has driven nothing but Chevys, his first car being a Chevy El Camino. When his first-born son arrived, he took bits from the name of his favourite brand of car and his favourite NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., to name his son Chevy Dale Karr.

When Leslie Russell started having contractions she was picked up by her mother to the hospital, but she knew there wasn't much time to get to the hospital, so she and her mother pulled up to the University of Chicago Medical center, screaming for help. Dr. Heather Johnston, a University of Chicago pediatrician happened to see them and helped Leslie through her labour right in the front seat of her mother's Toyota Camry. They named the baby "Camryn" in honour of the Camry she was born in. The baby's full name is Claire Camryn Russell.

Chris Redford of Eastbourne, Sussex, UK is obsessed with Volkswagen, his craze for the car made him decorate his home with VW merchandise and memorabilia. He wears over 70 Volkswagen tattoos. He took his obsession to a whole new level when he named his new-born daughter, Scarlet Victoria Willow, with the middle initials V.W.

Richard Gilbert, a Peace Corps volunteer, during his stay in the Philippines in the early 1960s, attempted to drive a woman in labour to a hospital over 30 miles away. Gilbert's Willy's Jeep broke down en route, so the baby boy was born in the back seat. In honour of both the vehicle and the volunteer, the baby was named Jeep Gilbert Ragay.

Will Jimmie Johnson have any advantage with the new Chase rules?
- Filed Under
Why must NASCAR always make changes? We were just getting used to this whole Chase thing and now they have gone and changed it.
Feels like desperation. So what if NASCAR is quickly leaving the spotlight, it was just as good if not better before it hit the spotlight. I know I used to watch a lot more races when it was about racing and not money.
That being said, there is a bit of me that is happy that wins will count for more. But, really, we are going to have 35 races and at the end of the day as long as you are in the top four, only one truly matters. ...

Hopefully you all remembered to turn your clocks up one hour this weekend. It always takes my body clock a while to get adjusted to this time change. I prefer that extra hour in the fall.
It is so inspiring to see the new baby calves, lambs and goats kicking up their heels in the pasture. One friend was so excited over the birth of a new baby colt. Another friend was surprised by one of his cows presenting him with triplets. Wow.
The mud has been challenging, but witnessing the new growth of the daffodils, tulips and hyacinths makes you feel younger. I am keeping my eyes peeled for that first crocus bloom. ...

Great Sparkle Factor
Par Colette
de Medicine Hat, Alberta
I am very pleased with the sparkle factor of the black spinel stones in this necklace. The lobster clasp is a larger size and makes it easy to put on. It looks great on it's own, or adding one of your own pendants to give it a different look.

A beautiful necklace, sparkling and elegant. I can wear with some other similar necklaces with different stones that I already have. This spinel will just add a few more sparkle and contrast.

Poor Quality
Par Susan

This piece is beautiful and sparkles and is everything I wanted it to be but the clasp broke after about 5 wears so too late to return to TSC (after about 2 months). Last piece of jewellery I buy from TSC unless they extend their satisfaction guarantee policy to more than one month.

Excellent Price !!!
Par J M.
de Red Deer, Alberta
The price point was wonderful too.
Just a few words. This was a DOUBLE WOW FACTOR when I opened it. Sparkly, an easy to do clasp, beautiful, looks like diamonds, outstanding, sits on the neck very nicely will look great with jeans and a T shirt. Gorgeous, any more adjectives ?
Par Avid TSC Watcher
de Richmond Hill, Ontario
Just received this necklace, and while I agree with all other reviews that it has sparkle, I am disappointed with the product as a whole. The spinel is more of a 2mm size rather than what's listed and even though it's marked as "Approximately" 18 inches I find it short. With the cost of shipping it back-I may as well keep it but this is already item #2 from Carol's collection (one item was already returned) that I've decided to never buy anything from this line again.
( 9 of 9 clients ont trouvé ce commentaire utile)
Par Jingle
de Dartmouth
This necklace is elegant and sparkles nicely. Truth be known, black spinel has more sparkle than black diamonds. The lobster clasp is a good size although the black spinel beads are smaller in size than I had hoped, considering the price, a very nice purchase. I bought a black spinel ring a couple of months ago and will wear them together. Going to look for an appropriate enhancer that will dress it up even more. It was a bit shorter than eighteen inches but the description did say approximately eighteen inches so not a negative.
Love it
Par Sue
de Mississauga
Beautiful necklace. Has weight, nice big clasp, very sparkly.
Love, love, love.
Par JewelryLover
de Ontario
This necklace is just the right length to either wear alone or add a pendant to also. I often wear it with every day outfits and love the sparkle. It goes with everything. I am a big fan of black spinel and this definitely delivers a touch of glam to any outfit. Thank you Carol Brodie!

Delicate and Beautiful
Par CJ
de Vancouver
Didn't know if I would like this because the photo shows it to be a bit wavy, but it lies flat on the neck very attractively.If your into healing stones, I researched Spinel and found out that it is 24X's stronger in it's healing ability that obsidian.

Ms. White you may begin your conference.
Kate White
Thank you, Michelle, and good morning everybody. Thank you for joining us for the Stanley Black & Decker's second quarter 2010 conference call. On the call, in addition to myself are John Lundgren, President and CEO, Jim Loree, Executive Vice President and COO; and Don Allan, Senior Vice President and CFO.
I would like to point out that our second quarter earnings release, which was issued this morning, and supplemental presentation, which we will refer during the call are available on the Investor Relations portion of our Web site, www.stanleyblackanddecker.com.
This morning John, Jim and Don will review Stanley's second quarter 2010 results and various other topical matters followed by a Q&A session. The entire call is expected to last approximately one hour.
A replay of the call will be available beginning at 2 p.m. today. The replay number and the access code are in our press release we put out this morning. As a reminder, you can download the earnings replay as a podcast from iTunes, and even setup a subscription for all future replays of the calls that we post, this will be ready this afternoon. As always please feel free to contact me with any follow-up questions after today's call.
We will be making some forward-looking statements during the call. Such statements are based on assumptions of future events that may not prove to be accurate and as such they involve risk and uncertainty. It is therefore possible that actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements that we might make today. We direct you to the cautionary statements in the Form 8-K, which we filed with today's press release and in our most recent 34 Act.
With that, I will now turn the call over to our CEO, John Lundgren.
John Lundgren
Thanks, Kate and good morning everybody. Let me first just touch on some second quarter highlights, in a quarter that we were quite pleased with our performance in general, as well as where we see the business going from here.
Revenues on a pro forma basis increased 13% to $2.4 billion and I'm going to give you a breakdown by geography and source in just a minute, and Jim Loree, when he reviews the segments, will give you even a little more granularity within the segments as to what we feel some of the indicators are.
Our second quarter diluted EPS of $1.24 excluding the onetime charges related primarily to the Black & Decker merger, the details of the special charges, which totaled $229 million, are included on page four of our press release. We provide quite a bit of granularity there, and we don't intend to spend much time on this morning's call, and that is there clearly if you do need in the press release.
That does include a $36 million benefit, the $1.24 or $0.21 a share attributable to favorable settlements of tax contingencies associated with the resolution of Black & Decker income tax audits from prior years.
On a GAAP basis $0.28 diluted EPS, including all the one-time charges, $213 million of free cash flow, excluding the one-time payments, and again that's $27 million detailed in the press release.
So, legacy Stanley reached a record 8.6 working capital turns, and it's nothing else, it's indication that SFS, the Stanley Fulfillment System is alive and well in the legacy business and you'll hear later that we are very rapidly expanding the Stanley Fulfillment System across the larger base and it's beginning to gain traction.
The integration is proceeding quite smoothly, but the focus in the second half will be on the launch of SFS across the larger framework, as well as the beginning of the formulation of some revenue synergy plans.
Our CDIY segment, which is now the largest segment in the business, profitability improved 430 basis points to 15.6%, again, excluding the CDIY portion of the one-time charges that I alluded to earlier.
And the smaller but still very important integration of Stanley Solutions de Sècuritè, or SSDS, the former ADT France business is also progressing quite well. Margins improved significantly versus the prior year and it's an important strategic add-on to our Continental European Convergent Security business.
Don is going to talk a little bit more about full year guidance, but excluding one-time charges we've increased it to $3.56 to $3.76 range or $3.35 to $3.55 if we exclude the $0.21 tax related benefit that we realized in the second quarter.
So, the bottom end of our guidance now exceeds the top end of the range previously presented in April. Don will talk a little bit more about that and the underlying assumptions towards the end of our presentations.
Lastly, free cash flow guidance for the year, where previously we said it would approximate $600 million, we're thinking and guiding to the fact that it will exceed $600 million for the year.
Moving on just a snapshot of essentially the earnings picture, $0.89 same period year ago on our share base of roughly 79.7 million, and looking forward to 2010, due to the merger, the average share count for the quarter of 166.1 million, you see $0.28 on a GAAP basis, $1.03 without the one-time charges, but excluding the benefit, the $36 million benefit or $0.21 a share impact of the tax settlement, which would take it to $1.24.
I think of equal or greater importance, that's obviously shown in the tax rate, ongoing or normalized tax rate would have been 28% without that benefit. I think that helps you in terms of your modeling. Without the charges operating margin increased to 13.7% very healthy performance across all three segments. Jim Loree is going to give you a little more granularity on the segments in just a minute.
Looking at worldwide revenues, we'll go around the world very quickly, starting with our largest market in the left in the US So, revenues grew 6% and US continues to represent 56% of Stanley Black & Decker's global revenues. Canada grew nicely, 28%, and it represents about 7% of global revenues, very strong growth in Latin America.
Mexico, we recognize it as part of North America, but we report it in our Latin American and manage it as part of our Latin American business, grew 39% and it represent 7% of our total. Europe, driven by strong industrial growth, showed 17% revenue growth, it's 24% of our total.

A little tricky locating staff upon arrival, had to cue at the bar to get room key .
We had a lovely room on the third floor which was quiet and the bed was the most comfortable bed ever!. Great shower/bathroom, was all clean and new. There weren't any drinks or late night snacks available so be sure to stock up!. Good English breakfast inc the price and the morning staff were very friendly.

Fewer than 100 of the approximately 15,000 licensed attorneys in the county have earned the "Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law" designation from the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization.
The reasons for and the significance of the designation are explained below, adapted from the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization brochure What Can a Certified Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law Specialist Do for You?:
What does it mean when an attorney is a Certified Specialist?
A Certified Specialist is more than just an attorney who specializes in a particular area of law. An attorney who is certified by the California State Bar as an Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law Specialist must have:
Why does the State Bar certify legal specialists?
Estate planning, trust, and probate law is complex and constantly changing - a Certified Specialist stays current with the law.
What can a certified Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law Specialist do for you?
Every individual attorney sets her or his own fees based upon the complexity of each particular case -- a Certified Specialist designation does not at all mean it will cost you more money.
Whether your situation is simple or complex, consider hiring an attorney who is a "Certified Specialist in Estate Planing, Trust & Probate Law" by the State Bar Board of Legal Specialization - an attorney who is committed through certification to maintaining proficiency in estate planning, trust, and probate law through continual practice and continuing education.
If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of estate planning, probate, or trust law, please feel free to call (949) 497-5056 or email email@example.com. I'll be happy to hear from you and will do my best to help. - Leslie

I don't know how long this small show is going to be up in Brooklyn, and unfortunately I had a prior commitment and couldn't get to the film screening:
I did, however, have the privilege of meeting the man himself, his young protege, and the film maker in our offices today. We're thinking about how to organize a larger show for his work. He's definitely an artist with a lot of character and experience. Despite the miserable weather and low visibility, he made a few shots with a well-worn Contax 167MT from our windows on the 46th floor of the Empire State Building.

Prerequisites for a course exist because the School of Business Administration faculty have determined that the knowledge, skills, and/or exposure students receive through the prerequisites is critical to their success in the course and their ability to contribute to their fellow students' learning experience. In addition, taking your core courses and concentration or elective courses in a prescribed sequence prepares you to integrate the knowledge and skills you are acquiring properly. Students bear the responsibility for verifying that they have the appropriate prerequisites for their courses. Students who enroll in a course without completing the prerequisites risk being dropped from the class at any time during the semester should their lack of prerequisites come to light. In addition, students who enroll without the prerequisites and as a result find themselves at a disadvantage in meeting course objectives will have no redress with the instructor.
The course examines the fundamentals of economic development finance, including an overview of economic development finance, business credit analysis, fixed asset financing, real estate financing, sources of private and public finance, and capital budgeting.

Each student will be required to participate in the weekly discussion board. The discussions will cover text material, selected topics, and readings. Assessing learning objectives 1-3
There will be two short exams. The exams will cover the text material, lecture notes, and readings. Each will count 15% of the course grade for a total of 30%. The exams will require students to analyze and apply class material to a variety of situations. Assessing learning objectives 1-3
Each student is expected to complete Assignments for two case studies as described in the text book. These case study write-ups might include financial analysis and a brief write-up that addresses specific questions that are asked in the assignment. The written discussion should incorporate the results of the financial analysis required in the assignment (where available) and should also include the financial analysis (or projections) in the appendix. Assessing learning objectives 1-3
Each student will prepare a formal grant proposal seeking funding for a development project of his/her choice subject to instructor approval. Assessing learning objectives 4
Your capacity to contribute to class discussions is directly related to your commitment to completing all reading assignments by the dates listed on the course schedule. Class participation grades will reflect both the quantity and the quality of your participation.
Make-up exams will only be given at the discretion of the instructor. Students are strongly cautioned to notify the instructor immediately if legitimate and insurmountable obstacles prevent them from participating in a scheduled exam session.
The due dates for all assignments will be strictly followed. Late assignments may or may not be accepted at the instructor's discretion; should the instructor accept a late assignment, he or she may reduce the grade of the assignment the equivalent of one (1) letter grade for each day the assignment is late.
According to the UHV Student Handbook, students are expected to be diligent in their studies and regular in class attendance. A student whose absences are determined by the instructor to be excessive shall be dropped prior to the last day to drop a course or withdraw from UHV with a grade of W or F. For students enrolled in online courses, "absence" connotes a failure to engage in class participation activities on a weekly basis. If an unforeseen crisis (including family emergencies, professional obligations, and technical difficulties) prevents you from fulfilling your course obligations, you are responsible for alerting your instructor to the reason for and anticipate duration of your absence.
Teaching and learning is a partnership between faculty and students. I will fulfill my partnership obligations by serving as advisor, consultant, mentor and purveyor of general comments and clarifications of difficult or confusing concepts. To this end, I will respond to questions within 72 hours. You will fulfill your partnership obligations by being a fully participative, responsive, helping, and working team member of the class. You should check your UHV email frequently and respond to faculty in a timely fashion. Good business and professional etiquette is expected. No derogatory comments should be made. You may certainly disagree with others in class discussions, and you may state your disagreement (if you choose to); however, please do so in a polite manner.
Homework, take-home exams, case assignments and bulletin board participation all play an important role in your education in this course. They are an essential part of the learning process in that they require the synthesis and extension of concepts. They also help both the student and the instructor to evaluate one's progress in mastering the material. Past experience indicates that generally the course material cannot be adequately mastered without active involvement on your part.
Discussion of homework assignments with others who are also struggling with them can be highly beneficial and is encouraged. Most real-life problems are solved through team efforts, and it is important to learn how to solve problems cooperatively. The interaction with others working on the same problem often reveals different approaches to common difficulties.
Each student is responsible for maintaining high standards of academic honesty and ethical behavior. In order that each student understands what is (or is not) acceptable behavior, the following guidelines are offered.
UHV's Student Handbook contains a detailed description of the university's Academic Honesty Policy. In addition, tutors at the Academic Center (see section below) are available to assist you in providing proper citations for your source materials.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Gaby Sanchez stroked a go-ahead two-run homer and James McDonald spun six innings of one-run ball as the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Atlanta Braves, 3-1, at PNC Park.
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI and Jason Grilli struck out the side in the ninth to record his sixth save and preserve the Pirates' second straight win over Atlanta in this four-game set.
McDonald (2-2) was a bit erratic early, but settled down and finished with nine strikeouts. He allowed just two hits and walked four.
"I felt confident in everything I did," said McDonald. "No negative thoughts entered my mind tonight."
The Pirates were able to knock former draft pick Paul Maholm (3-1) from the ranks of the unbeaten. Maholm had not allowed a run in his first three starts, but surrendered three in the sixth to absorb the loss.
The Braves, losers in three of four since winning 10 straight, were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and managed just four hits.
Atlanta's best chance for a big inning came in the second, when it had the bases loaded and no one out, but came away with just one run to show for it.
McDonald struck out Juan Francisco, who fanned four times on the day, but then walked Andrelton Simmons to force in the first run of the game. However, McDonald rebounded by striking out Maholm and B.J. Upton to get out of the jam.
Maholm was dealing early, giving up just one hit through his first four innings of work. He escaped trouble in the fifth by striking out the side after putting two runners on to start the frame, but the Pirates finally broke through in the sixth.
Starling Marte drew a leadoff walk and Jose Tabata bunted him over to second. Marte then came around to tie the score on McCutchen's double off the right field wall, and Sanchez's two-run blast to straight away center created a 3-1 Pirates lead.
Maholm finished the inning, and his consecutive scoreless frames streak ended at 25 1/3 innings. The former Pirate, who spent seven years with the club, ended with five strikeouts and gave up four hits and three walks.
"I'm not really worried about the streak, it was going to happen," said Maholm. "I wish it would have happened where we score five and I give up three and we win."
The Braves managed just two singles the rest of the game.
The teams will conclude their series on Sunday. The Braves will send Kris
Medlen to the mound and the Pirates will counter with Jonathan Sanchez ...
Pittsburgh was 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position ... Pittsburgh's
Russell Martin made his first start at third base since Aug. 20, 2008, when he
was a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He ended the game playing catcher ...
Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla left the game with a left calf strain. He is
considered day-to-day.
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.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Taking photos with a tablet
Back when the original iPad came out, there was a small segment of people who lamented the fact that the device didn't have a rear facing camera. But there was a larger group of people that were annoyed at the suggestion that a tablet should even have a camera -- myself included.
Apple ultimately released the iPad 2 with a camera and since then, nearly every tablet that's been released has included a rear facing camera.

South Korea's Economy Grows Faster-Than-Expected 1.5%
South Korea's economy grew faster than expected in the second quarter, bolstering the case for a further increase in interest rates as Asia weathers global risks.
Gross domestic product increased 1.5 percent from the previous three months, when it gained 2.1 percent, the central bank said in Seoul today. That was more than the 1.3 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of seven economists. From a year earlier, GDP rose 7.2 percent.
The growth figures raise the risk of the Bank of Korea boosting rates twice more by year-end, Barclays Capital analysts said today as they increased their 2010 GDP growth projections. The central bank in July joined counterparts from Thailand to Taiwan and Malaysia in raising rates, and India is forecast to boost borrowing costs tomorrow for the second time this month as Asia leads the global recovery and grapples with price pressures.
"The Bank of Korea will be able to raise rates up to 3 percent without much worry about economic growth," said Lee Sung Kwon, an economist at Shinan Investment Corp. in Seoul. "It's only a matter of when" the bank will raise the 2.25 percent benchmark rate, he said. "The economy will continue to grow, though at a slower pace, given robust exports and rising domestic demand."
The won traded at 1,196.30 per dollar as of 12:27 p.m. in Seoul, little changed from the close on July 23, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency has dropped 7.8 percent in the past three months, Asia's worst performance. The benchmark Kospi stock index advanced 0.3 percent to 1,763.01.
Inflation Pressure
South Korea's $929 billion economy approached "its potential output level" and may face inflation pressure, Central Bank Governor Kim Choong Soo said on July 9 after raising the benchmark rate to 2.25 percent from a record-low 2 percent, the first increase since the financial crisis.
"As our economy has shown stronger-than-expected recovery, it may have already entered a phase of expansion," Kim Myung Kee, an official at the Bank of Korea, told reporters today. "Robust exports are now spilling into domestic demand."
South Korean GDP will expand 6.1 percent in 2010, higher than a previous forecast of 5.7 percent, Barclays Capital analysts including Wai Ho Leong, said in an e-mailed report after the growth data were released.
The country's export-driven economy will grow 5.9 percent this year, more than the 5.2 percent predicted in April, the central bank said on July 12. The Finance Ministry said on June 24 that the nation needs to normalize fiscal and monetary policies.
Consumer Prices
The central bank forecast this month that consumer prices will rise by 2.8 percent this year, compared with the previous estimate of 2.6 percent, and 3.4 percent in 2011. The bank is targeting inflation of between 2 percent and 4 percent on average through 2012.
Goods exports climbed 7.1 percent in the second quarter compared with the previous three months, when they rose 3.7 percent, today's report showed. Private consumption increased 0.8 percent from the first quarter and government spending gained 0.1 percent. Facility investment rose 8.1 percent.
Quarterly growth in the manufacturing sector accelerated to 5.1 percent in the three months to June, compared with 4.2 percent in the first quarter, "driven by strong exports of cars, chips and machinery," the Bank of Korea said in a statement accompanying the release of the GDP figures.
Won Drop
Companies from Samsung Electronics Co. to Hynix Semiconductor Inc. reported record earnings in the second quarter, as a drop in the won enhanced the nation's export competitiveness. The sustained expansion is adding to evidence that Asia's fourth-largest economy is weathering risks to the global recovery from Europe's debt crisis and elevated U.S. unemployment.
The second quarter economic growth numbers should "support sentiment toward the won" and back further interest rate increases, said Brian Jackson, a Hong Kong-based emerging- markets strategist at Royal Bank of Canada, who expects another 50 basis points increase in borrowing costs this year.
Annual sales growth at South Korea's department stores accelerated in June to 11.3 percent, the highest in four months. Overseas shipments jumped 32.4 percent from a year earlier, an eighth straight monthly increase. Exports account for about half of the nation's GDP.
Samsung, Asia's biggest maker of semiconductors, flat screens and mobile phones, this month reported record earnings for the second quarter, as a recovery in demand for computer-memory chips drove up prices.
Record Profit
Hynix, the world's second-largest computer-memory chipmaker, reported record operating profit for the same quarter as sales beat analysts' estimates, buoyed by demand for personal computers.
Goods exports will rise 26.4 percent this year, the Bank of Korea said in its July 12 report, more than an 18.6 percent gain estimated in April. Private consumption will probably increase 3.9 percent this year, and corporate investment on facilities will advance 20.9 percent, the central bank said.
The administration of South Korean President Lee Myung Bak, who suffered an unexpected reversal at local elections on June 2, had pressed the central bank ahead of the polls to hold down rates in a bid to support growth.
Asian policy makers continue to grapple with the implications of Europe's debt crisis, subdued U.S. growth and a slowdown in the Chinese economy as they mull further rate increases.
Temporary Slowdown
Finance Minister Yoon Jeung Hyun said July 13 that the U.S. and China may see a temporary slowdown as government stimulus is withdrawn and growth relies more on the private sector.
South Korean growth is likely to slow further over the rest of the year, but from a "fairly strong starting point," Jackson said.
The Federal Reserve last month cut its forecasts for economic growth this year and next in the U.S., where the jobless rate has been 9.5 percent or higher since August.
Europe stress-tested its 91 largest banks this month to restore confidence following the region's sovereign-debt crisis. China's economic expansion eased to 10.3 percent in the second quarter from 11.9 percent in January-March, the country's statistics bureau said this month.
