Another robbery story
My brothers friends went to Bay 101 in San Jose,CA. They both took $1500 with them, well they had one hell of a run, between the 2 of them they turned it into $10000, got into there car and drove home, well 2 guys followed them and when they pulled into there drive way 2 guys in ski masks jump out and robbed them of the whole $10000, really sad, it put such a bad taste in there mouth that they will never go play live poker again, cant blame them.
So me and my brother are going live now too and I told him screw this, for one I'm bringing my bullet proof vest and my hand gun, I told him straight up, if we ever hit something that large, put your seat belt on, I figure with my corvette motor and racing transmission good damm luck catching me, I told him I will take it up to 120mph and hold it for about 3 min, I would be dam sure to tell if someone is following me. Not to mention they might get blasted themselves trying to jack me. Sad state of affairs when you cant go the card room and win without fear of getting robbed.
I hope you live in Texas.
Good luck in your games tonight, and I do think ppl should be able to protect themselves any way possible. Everyone wants to ban guns, but the robbers will still have them. All we would be doing is disarming will be victims.
That's a bunch of garbage. But as I was reading and I heard Bay 101, I assumed it didn't happen in a nice area. But yeah, it's kind of hard not to notice when someone's following you, but I can just imagine that ride home, they were probably talking a mile a minute unable to control their excitement. They should be thankful they weren't hurt. I know if I'm in that situation, I'm handing the money over if they show a weapon. If they are just trying to strong arm me, game on.
Precautions -
Last time I walked out of a casino with $10k, it was after a big tournament in the casino, and a lot of people knew my face and knew I was doing well. My good friend came down and rode back with me to his place, we were both armed to a moderate degree (knives), we had security walk us out, and ensured nobody followed us. And we drove back to his place which is well enough armed nobody was going to mess with us, and put the money in his weapon safe until it was time for me to hit the road back to my place.
What I'm getting at is, there are criminals out there. You've got to cover yourself or this kind of thing can happen to you.
Sorry to hear about that, it sucks, but it happens. The best you can do is take steps to protect yourself, and keep a low profile and watch for people following you. Don't let them make you an easy mark.
As to the response to drive to the police station, that was the whole point of doing 120mph, if some idiot robbers are dumb enough to try and catch me at that speed, well then guess its 120mph to the police station.
A good defense is also having a good offense, you win something big like that and lets saying your being scoped out, well unless these robbers are hell bent on death which is fine by me, they are going to see me putting on a bullet proof vest and locking and loading right in the parking lot, I will stand in open view and arm my self, this makes a great deterrent to would be robbers in the parking lot. Think about it, your about to jack 2 guys who just won some money, then in plain view of everyone they pull out bullet proof vests and load and lock their guns in plain view, now are you going to try and jack them or you going to wait for the next little fishy to come along, plus my bro has a .44 mag. talk about dirty harry, I don't think I would try and jack someone I just saw arm them self with body armor and big arse gun. But then again living where I live you never know.
re: Poker & Another robbery story
I live 5 minutes from Bay 101. There are a lot of Asian and Mexican gangs in that area-it's not too far from downtown-there's a pretty bad area there. It might have been a gang or just a bunch of guys that have been staking out the casino. I truly believe in owning a gun and would not hesitate to carry-done it before even though it's illegal. Like they say-it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Like they say-it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Amen to that, and if your that close to bay 101 then you know exactly what I am talking about here. I'm about 45 minutes from bay 101, so getting on 880 and dropping the hammer for a couple of minutes is not a problem.
On a side note, robberies like this used to be few and far, now they seem to become common place at all card playing rooms, and the MO is always the same it seems like, they wait till you pull up in your drive way to jack you. I bet if they did not have security to escort you out to your car they would just jack you right as you come out the front door, freakin punk assss thieves.
Speaking of which, that's something I'd definitely be paying attention to if I just got robbed, but I'd be firing bullets before it came to that. If I was caught off-guard and unarmed then so be it, at least I'm cooperating with the villain until his throat is in range of my knife. A bullet going through your friends ribcage before it goes through me. How badly do you want the $10,000? Plus, I doubt he's going to collect his buddy's body... Once I've murdered his friend in self-defense his identy is shot
Of course my life is in danger, but I'm not going to let criminals boss me around. Self-defense is something I believe in. And once my life is on the line and I'm at the mercy of somebody who's brandishing enough force to end my life, I'll take necessary steps to try to end theirs.
Thanks Army, for the training.
Sorry to hear about this..... Unfortunately, its becoming all too common.. here in Cincinnati, we have casinos across the state line in Indiana, and in the last two months, 9 people have been robbed after winning large amounts of money.....the kicker is, they didnt follow the people home, they were wating for them at home and robbed them there! take care. you cant be too careful!
You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
Wow Madness, that is crazy! Sorry to hear it, but glad they are ok. You living in Oakland, I'm guessing you know how to protect yourself. When I'm driving through there on the 580, there ain't no way I'm getting off the freeway!
I don't play live for cash... but isn't it possible to get the casino to wire transfer the money to an account for you? Or I'm sure you can hit a nearby bank to do so... like an affiliated bank you have an account with like national city bank.
re: Poker & Another robbery story
Only way to really catch who's doing this is to wait for another robbery by the same people and find a common factor between both, such as who's working, or who's playing at both times. More robberies by the same people returning the same common factor such as a certain worker (maybe the guy cashing them out) or a person who is identified as near the victims right before each robbery... stuff like that.
Watching Las Vegas teaches you stuff about casinos O.o.
yea man thats rough, Im new to these forums but just got back from Barcelona, Casino de Barcelona was directly next to my hotel about 10 of my people got pick pocketed world cup time was like crack to them, people stayed away from ****ing with me though guess it's the city vibe i carry.
good luck bro and i kno its hard out there in the bay all that lil gang shit's got it twisted upside down, kid's don't think of consequences just street cred. or what people think of them. most of them will be in c.y.a. soon. be easy and get that bread back u see those punta's again bro

2014 Summer Movie Series
The Orpheum Theatre announces the official 2014 schedule for its annual Classic Summer Movie Series. Presented for a third year by Orion Federal Credit Union, this year's series consists of fan favorites and audience picks. The series will run from May 30 to September 5 at the Orpheum Theatre.
"The Classic Summer Movie Series has grown considerably in popularity over the past few summers, and during that time patrons have sent us great suggestions," said Orpheum President and CEO Pat Halloran. "This season we've focused on putting together the titles and types of films that our Movie Series fans have requested, all of which stand the test of time and are classics in their own right."
Included in the Classic Summer Movie Series are popular titles, double features, "girls' night out" favorites, sing-alongs, and family matinees. Notable movies include The Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Steel Magnolias, and The Wizard of Oz Sing-Along. For Clue, fans will be able to vote on social media for which ending they would like to see. The Double Feature Night of the Living Dead and Zombieland will take place on the night of the Memphis Zombie Walk, and Jaws will be screened during Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week.
The Orpheum will continue to offer exciting, fun-filled activities in the Orpheum lobby prior to each film. Types of pre-movie activities include movie trivia, costume contests, beer tastings, photo booths, special guest appearances, drink specials, and pre-show concerts on The Orpheum's Mighty Wurlitzer Organ.
To honor the life of the late Shirley Temple, The Orpheum will host a special Tea Party prior to the matinee showing of The Little Princess, which features the child star. This $20 ticketed event is limited to 100 guests and includes tea, sandwiches, fruit, sweets, beverages, and admission to the movie. All who attend the movie are encouraged to wear their favorite regal attire.
While the Orpheum Theatre regrets that Gone With The Wind will not appear in this year's series due to suspended licensing during the film's 75th Anniversary, other beloved annual classics such as Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's will be presented.
Tickets for the Orpheum's 2014 Classic Summer Movie Series go on sale Thursday, May 1st at 10:00 AM. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children under 12.

The latest news from academia, regulators
research labs and other things of interest

Colossal magnetoresistance induced in pure lanthanum manganite
|The lanthanum manganite samples under less than 32 gigapascals, 32 gigapascals, and more than 32 gigapascals of pressure, both with and without a magnetic field. Thirty-two gigapascals equals about 316,000 times normal atmospheric pressure. (Image: Maria Baldini)
|Metals are compounds that are capable of conducting the flow of electrons that makes up an electric current. Non-metals cannot conduct such a current. Magnetoresistance is the capacity of compounds to be changed from electrically resistant to electrically conductive depending on the presence of an external magnetic field. The ability to switch on and off from metal to non-metal is what makes the phenomenon so useful for electronic and spintronic devices.
|Manganite compounds, such as the LaMnO3 studied by the research team, are particularly promising when it comes to colossal magnetoresistance, because the change from insulator to metal is several orders of magnitude stronger than in other types of compounds. But controlling and understanding it has remained largely elusive. It has been induced before in chemically doped manganite samples, but not in a pure one until this study.
|The transition from insulator to metal in LaMnO3 takes place when the room temperature compound is placed under about 316,000 times normal atmospheric pressure (32 gigapascals). What the team was able to demonstrate by examining LaMnO3 across a range of temperatures and pressures, is that under pressure LaMnO3 separates into two distinct phases, one metallic and one non-metallic. The chemical structure of the non-metallic phase is distorted, and the metallic phase is not.
|The insulator-to-metal transition occurs when the metallic phase exceeds the non-metallic one by a certain threshold. This is confirmed by theoretical predictions. But the existence of a period when the two phases are mixed together is the crucial ingredient for inducing colossal magnetoresistance. The phenomenon occurs when the competition between the two phases is at its maximum. The physical separation of the two phases and the interplay between the deformed structure and the non-deformed structures is the key to driving the colossal magnetoresistance.
|"The ability to induce colossal magnetoresistance by applying pressure to a pure, un-doped sample is a major step forward in understanding the physics underlying the phenomenon and to potentially harnessing it for practical purposes," Baldini said.

Unsavoury Travelling CompanionsMature
Lou stopped around an hour later turning to the rest of them, beside him Raph stopped but didn't turn.
"What now?" Sylver asked looking up at the rocky tunnel lit by burning oil lamps. Gabriel saw Lou's eyes pick him out of the crowd.
"Now," Lou said "I'm going to be very unpopular. At the palace there are doubles of us, so we won't be missed for a while, its does, however mean that we must leave unnoticed."
"By teleport?" Morgan asked Lou shook his head slowly.
"No, teleports can be traced and I cant make a new one everyone would know." Lou sighed "we're leaving via the east route."
"Which is?" Gabriel growled his throat was already feeling tight even in the large airy tunnel.
"The mining tunnels." Lou said
"Why?" Sylver shouted "there must be another…"
"There's not." Lou snapped "I'm sorry but this is the only direct route to the Summerland's, no teleports."
"The Summerland's." Sylver's face paled in the yellow light.
"What's the Summerland's?" Morgan asked.
"witches." Sylver spat Lou looked at him in slight surprise.
"I didn't know you were racist Sylver." He said lightly.
"I'm not." The vampyre growled "I just don't like witches."
"Then you'll love this trip." Raph chuckled "just like a nice holiday." He started to walk again.
"Like I said before." Rossier said "there are daemons that make me look angelic." Raph turned and walked backwards for a few steps looking at Rossier.
"On the contrary." He said grinning. "I'm a bastard you're an asshole, completely different things." Rossier snorted a small smile on his face.
"True," he said "very true." At the rear of the group Gabriel looked at Dawn.
"This is going to be fun." He growled Dawn nodded.

It was declared safe and took off from Manchester shortly after 1.50pm to resume its journey to New York, the airport spokeswoman said.
It is the fourth flight to be diverted due to bomb threats in the past nine days.
A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "The plane travelling from Frankfurt to New York that was diverted to Manchester Airport this morning has been declared safe.

The ousted won't rest in winter
SAN FRANCISCO We pause from this most surprising
not to mention entertaining and refreshing of playoff years to
wonder aloud about the future of those most surprised by this upside-down October.
Namely folks with "Yankees," "Diamondbacks," "Athletics" and "Braves" attached
to their names and livelihoods.
And we pause from the "Why'd he pitch to that guy?" and
"How could we lose to those guys?" lamentations from disbelieving fans who can't
let go.
It's time to move on, folks. For the favored but fallen
four, the heart of the matter is, plain and simply, "Now what?"
With free agents hitting an uncertain market as
many as 41 from those four teams, depending on decisions about option years
and some continuing contracts the clubs would sell their souls to get
out from under, major change will be difficult. And that could very well be
a blessing.
Retooling or gutting, depending on your emotional
state in the wake of disappointment is a natural reaction. But it can
also be a knee-jerk response. So, though that simmering subculture of Yankee
haters gleefully wonders what mayhem George Steinbrenner will wreak, remember
that there are common denominators among organizations solid enough to be in
this position in the first place where losing in the first round of the
playoffs just isn't good enough. Those attributes would be patience, long-term
vision and a prudent approach to matters both fiscal and physical.
So, indeed, what now for those four teams? Tempering a
hefty portion of unsolicited advice with at least a pinch of reality, here are
some thoughts.
Cuban defector Jose Contreras is asking for a $14.5 million signing
bonus to play for the Yankees. He says he's 30.
Yankees: We begin here because of the likely action
or at least the magnitude of the moves baseball's richest team can make.
The Yankees have to address third base, where Robin Ventura is a free agent
and expecting Drew Henson to be the everyday guy next year is a huge stretch.
But in a relatively weak free-agent year, this is one position with options,
including Edgardo Alfonzo if the Yankees want to rub the Mets' noses in the
dirt a little more.
The playoffs indicate there may be pitching issues to address.
But if Roger Clemens chooses to exercise the option he has on a 2003 contract
and few players in that position will be foolhardy enough to put themselves
into what should be another depressed market the Yankees will have the
same cast in the rotation, for better or worse. They're going to have to begin
making the rotation younger and trading might be the best option. What kind
of package of young talent could they put together to pry away one of the Marlins'
great young arms? Remember, Florida is the runaway leader in this winter's "Most
Likely to Embarrass the Game by Selling off Everybody" competition.
There's also recent Cuban defector Jose Contreras, a highly
regarded pitcher who is maneuvering to get Mexican residency so he can be a
free agent rather than be subject to the draft.
But the big prize for the Yankees, who also could set off
a blockbuster series of moves, is Japanese slugger Hideki Matsui. He's a 28-year-old
left-handed-hitting center fielder considered a likely 40-homer guy on this
side of the Pacific. He has worn No. 55 since he signed because that was Sadaharu
Oh's single-season home run record, which Matsui wanted to break. He's a
total free agent. No sealed bids through the posting system as with Ichiro Suzuki
and Kazuhisa Ishii.
The Yankees have nothing to say on the matter, though Japanese
journalists spotted club vice president Jean Afterman in Japan watching Matsui
in August. That's especially interesting because of Afterman's expertise in
international sports law and marketing. Here's how it all fits together, according
to my Japanese sources.
Matsui has played his career with the Yomiuri Giants, Japan's
richest and most dominant team. Team owner Tsuneo Watanabe, described as more
powerful than the Japanese commissioner and often compared to Steinbrenner,
also runs huge Nippon Television, two newspapers and a sports tabloid. He's
trying to walk the tightrope between letting Matsui fulfill a dream he
frequently has mentioned the Yankees and keeping the star player part
of the Yomiuri family in coaching or broadcasting when he's finished with his
U.S. adventure.
The Yanks, meanwhile, are concluding a business relationship
with another Japanese team, the Nippon Ham Fighters. What better team to hook
up with next than Japan's most powerful, much like the deal Steinbrenner struck
with English soccer giant Manchester United?
So, the intensifying speculation goes in Japan, Matsui
will remain an employee of the Yomiuri conglomerate, possibly even on the broadcasting
side, filing frequent reports from his new overseas home. (He's been quietly
taking English lessons for several years.) He'll sign with the Yankees, maybe
even at a luxury tax-friendly lower rate (because he'll also be getting cash
from Yomiuri), and the Yankees will capture the attention of a baseball-crazy
country full of TV exposure, dwarfing the snit over getting their YES Network
on New York's cable system.
The real kicker is the option created by Matsui's presence:
dealing a current Yankees star Bernie Williams comes to mind to
improve the club at other positions.
Oakland might bring back Ray Durham.
Athletics: We can always count on general manager
Billy Beane to be active and creative. Ray Durham is a free agent, but the spark
he provided at the top of the order after being acquired in July should make
him a priority. But where to play him? Mark Ellis earned the right to keep second
base, so the A's could gamble that Durham can be converted to help fill an outfield
slot. Jermaine Dye can be expected to be better next year as he gets further
removed from his broken leg, but Terrence Long hasn't taken the next step and
David Justice is probably finished.
It makes sense for the A's to go looking for high-ceiling
bargains, as usual. In the past, they've been interested in the powerful Jack
Cust. What better time to snatch him than after he struggled mightily in a second-half
trial with the Rockies? He's an Oakland-style hitter, as are some of Toronto's
up-and-comers and most of the overload of young bats Minnesota must choose from.
Diamondbacks: Not picking up options on three veteran
pitchers is the first sign of necessary retooling. Arizona owes a lot of deferred
money to several players but Jay Bell's burdensome deal has expired. Todd Stottlemyre
and Brian Anderson also will become free agents. The only worrisome potential
loss is center fielder Steve Finley, who would be a better investment than Mark
Grace, whose contract has a mutual club/player option for 2003. The real question
is how much they can afford if they go hard for another starting pitcher, especially
Greg Maddux. Adding bullpen depth would be a wise use of their limited funds.
Braves: Short of getting Maddux and Tom Glavine
back at below-market rates, it just doesn't make sense to keep both. That's
too much of an investment in arms reaching the questionable stage of their careers
on a team with more potential holes than your average 101-win club. All loyalty
aside, the better move would be to retain Maddux and not Glavine, though the
opposite is more likely.
Most of Atlanta's nine other free agents 10, if
Javy Lopez is daft enough to reject his 2003 option probably could be
enticed back at reasonable prices. That's especially important with relievers
Mike Remlinger, Chris Hammond and Darren Holmes.
No 19-game cushion ever looked so vulnerable going into
the offseason. But John Schuerholz, like other successful GMs, never expects
to sit comfortably this time of year anyway. He's the most experienced at following
up October disappointments.

PensAndFeathers: Mable's new gloves were all that saved her from the numbing despair she suffered at the retirement home. She had no idea who'd sent them but she felt comforted that someone, somewhere still cared.
In such a place, people come and people go, just like trains in a train station. Nobody ever stays for very long. It's not a place to live, it's the last stop before you reach Death's door. It's the place you go to get to the other side.
Cream-colored cinderblock walls. The continual whirr of electronic equipment. The occasional crash cart. But, here, in this place, we tend to just let them go.
Mable had cold hands,
She was the first patient I ever really allowed myself to become attached to. She was a tiny little slip of a thing, with a fluffy cloud of blue-grey hair. And she always wore her glasses with the cherry-red frames, hanging onto her ecentricity like it was a life preserver and her ship was sinking.
Mable was frail in body but her mind was as sharp as a tack.
She liked Steinbeck and listened to Earth, Wind, and Fire on her Diskman.
I didn't know much about her life, beyond what she told me on those rare occasions when she would pull her nose out of a book. Something about Mable broke my heart, though. On the outside, she was a sweet, eccentric resident, but underneath that, I sensed such an extreme sadness that existed as a dull ache beneath every move she made.
I could tell she was sad. I could tell she was tired.
And she was always complaining that her hands were cold, just about the only thing I ever heard her complain about.
I don't know where the idea came from, but it was Christmas time, snow sifting down over the retirement home, insulating it further from the rest of the world. It was always such a depressing time to be working there; there was just so much sadness. Every year, the hope would build among the residents. It was strong, too, something that you could almost feel when you walked through the door, a tangible feeling of anticipation. And every year, they were disappointed.
Mable chirped about this and that the way she usually did, but I could tell that she felt it too.
I couldn't stand to see Mable disappointed. She was too good, too sweet.
So I decided to knit Mable a pair of gloves for Christmas, because her circulation was poor and her hands were always cold. They were the same red as the frames of her glasses, and I never told her they were from me.
Mable's new gloves were all that saved her from the numbing despair she suffered at the retirement home. She had no idea who'd sent them but she felt comforted that someone, somewhere still cared. She told me this, and I was tempted to tell her that it had been me, that I cared. But I never did.
She died just a few months after that, and I quite my job at the retirement home because I couldn't cope with the sadness that that place contained.
I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth one morning when there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, there was nobody there. But there was a pair of red knit gloves on the stoop, and a tiny, handwritten note that said, simply,
Thank you. M.

Coronado 35 Owners
Looking for information...What is the propeller size on your boat? I have a Coronado 35 and need to repower. Looking for maximum size prop I can put on it. I figured I'd give this a shot first before having to dive on her.
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps it would provide some guidelines and record but getting a prop size from another Coronado 35 owner may not be correct. Your best bet is to contact the prop manufacturer that you intend to purchase from, provide them with your sailboat information, engine size, running RPM and your transmission ratio. The transmission ratio is as important as anything else. They will size the prop accordingly.
Also providing the maximum size prop does not mean you will get the maximum power. It is a combination factor of pitch and size. For instance, a 17" 8 degree pitch will technically will not produce merely the power and control that a 16" 11 - 13 degree pitch prop.
Re: Coronado 35 Owners
I just bought a Coronado 35 CC ketch based in Lefkos, Greece. I plan to spend the summers sailing the Med.
If it became necessary, how would you drain the fuel tank?
Re: Coronado 35 Owners
The mainsail backstays on my Coronado CC 35 ketch are driving me crazy.
Would it be possible to move them closer to the mizzen stays w/o losing structural integrity?

text: Also. There is a video floating around somewhere of a ford official talking about running E85 in the fist. He basically says that the fuel system is compatible, its just not tuned for it. Which i personally think this is because the stock car makes give/take 200hp. To run E85 and make that same HP your looking at suppling fuel for give/take 400hp. The fist likely can not supply enough volume to keep up with a stock 200hp fist on E85. Now.... E50 and E30? I think it can very likely keep up. If we use the same high pressure pump the fost uses, then it def can keep up (they are making 380whp on the stock pumps). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Joy of Creating
I write for many reasons. The only way to discover all these reasons and to show them in a clear light, would be to write about them. Do you see what I mean?
Writing is a way of creating a whole out of all the millions of scraps I find littered along the way as I live my life. These scraps, these fluttering sparkles are everywhere, marking the path I have lived. They're everywhere because you can't live anything by the book. But you can certainly create a book from your living.
Any thoughts, feelings, and notions can be brought to life, their secrets revealed, and their potentials found if only you were to take the time to explore them through writing.
The result of making whole what was once scattered, is a satisfying one. But what's even greater about writing, is that you can make whole what didn't previously exist. You can create anything.
The joy of pure creation, not just repairing and piecing together, is truly beautiful. It's the moment when a new character pops into existence with a life of their own and begins to run away with the storyline. I search for those moments when the story comes to life, and I am left jumping at ideas and running to keep up with the avalanche I've started. I love discovering something that has been hiding behind the storyline the whole time, something that I, the writer, hadn't even noticed while I'd written it.
One uplifting idea behind writing, is that you can create a new world, one that you have a certain control over, or at least an unlimited visa for. Once the place is real, you can move through the world, adding a splash of detail here, and a carefully placed window there. And the characters, though they have a certain foreign feeling to them at first, you can come to know them and their ways.
But the real wonder behind writing is that once the world is real and the characters alive, then you are no longer controlling them. You are working with them to create, with purpose, a story that can inspire the reader. And once it's been captured in words, it will always be there. That's what I love about writing. It's a creation that cannot be undone. Created and never destroyed.
That's right, the question has been asked in writing, and it will continue forever to ask every new person who reads it, in its thoughtful and pondering voice:
"Why do you write?"

Mayhem # 1885536
About MeI'm really mostly an amateur who tends to take some surprisingly great photos. I'm very laid back, but I take direction well, as far as poses and expressions. I mostly started modeling by accident when I was working with a Rocky Horror shadow cast that wanted lingerie photos to pass out to the audience as "Valentines." My friend Russ was willing to help out with the photos, being a professional photographer, and my photos in particular were a huge hit.
From there, I noted other friends who were trying to expand their photography portfolios, and were looking for models/costumes (my forte), so I obliged, and got some fun photos out of the bargain for myself.
I was only recently asked to sit for 3 professional photographers for one of my friends' new business fliers, and it was a wonderful experience. I'd love to do more.
Currently, I am also a registered D20 Girl, and you can find me featured in the semi-monthly web comedy series: "Forever Wednesday" (www.watchforeverwednesday.com). I am the lead singer in the local rock/pop/party cover band, "The Upside" (www.upsiderocks.com) and I am always happiest when I am working on a musical production with a nearby community theatre group.
I don't really have much money to spend on modeling projects for myself, but if you are looking for a spirited redhead for your local project and you are able to pay (in cash OR trade), please don't hesitate to contact me. :)

News from the JAM companion animal program
Industry-academic partnerships highlighted during presentations
At the recent Joint Annual Meeting of the American Society of Animal Science and American Dairy Science Association and Canadian Society of Animal Science there were 27 topical reviews and original research presentations focused specifically on companion animals out of the hundreds of abstracts in the program. The conference was held at the Kansas City Convention Center on July 20–24, 2014 and was well attended by an array of "pet-centric" students, faculty and industry researchers from around the globe. Two symposia pertaining to companion animals merit special note.
The first was a session focused specifically on sustainability and companion animals with a view toward today's impact on the future. Each of the presentations worked from a similar platform or definition of sustainability introduced by the first speaker, Dr. Becky Carter. To paraphrase, sustainability in the food system is "the ability to provide sufficient calories and essential nutrients for today's requirements without compromising the supply for future generations." Carter and her co-authors from the Nutro Company and the University of Illinois equated sustainability in the petfood system with that of responsible pet ownership. They stated that "it requires a careful balance with consumer expectations."
From a raw material perspective, Dr. David Meeker with the Fats & Protein Research Foundation followed with an overview of how the rendering industry fits into this equation. He explained that it contributes to sustainability by capturing materials from the meat industry that would otherwise go to waste without their intervention. From this presentation emerged the…

Beleaguered civil servants may be chilled to the bone as the winds of austerity blow, but they are not yet showing much enthusiasm for mitigating the pain by sharing it.
Moves to unify corporate functions within the civil service have unfolded at "glacial pace", acknowledged the head of the civil service, Sir Bob Kerslake, at the Institute for Government on 5 November. But he argued that things are changing, citing the creation of a single government legal service and the unification of communications under Alex Aiken, executive director of communications at the Cabinet Office.
Whitehall's departmental autarky seems to be in rude health. In the IfG's review of corporate government functions, Julian McCrae and Joe Randall note progress towards cross-government leadership in areas like finance and procurement. But are we any further forward? Having the head of HR report directly to Kerslake as head of the civil service isn't far from where we were seven years ago when Gill Rider joined the Cabinet Office as head of HR profession to work closely with former cabinet secretary Gus O'Donnell.
Whitehall remains a long way from Edinburgh,now a beacon of integration, largely because, according to former Scottish permanent secretary Sir John Elvidge, the Scottish government has a "primacy of shared purpose".Divisions within Westminster's coalition government go deeper than the party split between the Liberal Democrats and the Tories. Departmental ministers appear to have little interest or incentive in joining government up, even for those functions a long way from the political frontline.
Party politics and the enduring amateurism of ministers in matters of public management go a long way but don't altogether explain why, despite financial pressures, departments still won't reach out to one another and share more services.
Perhaps there's a deeper reason why bureaucracies strive to maintain boundaries. Looking at the lineup of Britain's three senior spy chiefs in front of the Commons intelligence and security committee on 7 November, prompts a question about how much the three agency chiefs from MI5, MI6 and GCHQ share and collaborate and whether there is even a functional case for three separate entities. Perhaps the National Security Council should identify areas where, by coming together, the intelligence agencies could be more cost effective.
Successive National Audit Office reports have recommended ways to save money by better cooperative working, common standards and centralised purchasing across central government, but departments lack financial incentives to maximise value from public spending. When Bill Crothers, the Cabinet Office procurement chief, blamed Whitehall for not being better at managing contracts he was really regretting the existence of a single administrative culture in UK central government and perhaps also suggesting that his own department lacks clout. The Treasury, which does have clout, seems not to care enough about efficiency to force departments to collaborate.
All this means that Whitehall still operates a "federal model", according to Kerslake. The lengths it would take to bring real change were vividly illustrated by Laura Walker, director of organisation and partner development at John Lewis, generally regarded as one of the most benign high street retailers To secure allegiance to the John Lewis Partnership, the company has been "ruthless" in breaking down allegiances to individual stores, said Walker.
Imagine what havoc would have to be wreaked on Whitehall departments if that example were to be followed.

This Gymkhana Parody Gives Ken Block a Low-Budget Run for His Money
And it's nearly as entertaining.
Even if they're not really your style, you have to respect the driving skill necessary for Ken Block to pull off his Gymkhana videos. But it's not simply the driving that makes Gymkhana cool. It's the locations he chooses. In order to pull off recording in places like Dubai, though, it takes way more money than the average person has.
That's where the parodies come in. We've already seen the Car Bros break out their Honda Civic Wagovan for a Gymkhana parody, but now there's this one—Gymfarma.
It has everything you would expect out of a Gymkhana video, including donuts, slow-motion shots, and plenty of drifting. But it also has a few things Ken block conveniently forgets to include, like blow up dolls, and hay bales.
Much better.

#25 Feb 3, 2013
Hate, suspicion, intolerance and avoidance are useful, and sometimes keep us safe. It's not fair, however, that they be based ONLY on race. That is wrong.
My hate, suspicion, intolerance and avoidance of someone is based on the sum of my experience with that type of person, the way they conduct themselves, the way they treat others, etc.
In the past, my hate, suspicion, intolerance and avoidance of someone has been confused as racism because I decided not to associate myself with hoodlums, ignorant people of low character and those who glamorize the 'thug' life.
I ask you:
Has black culture taken steps to overcome my hate, suspicion, intolerance and avoidance of their members that meet that criteria, or have they instead embraced what I hate, suspect, avoid and refuse to tolerate in people?
I think many so called 'racists' are just social and ethical 'purists' who simply choose not to tolerate low behavior, regardless of skin color. Sadly, these people are labeled and dismissed as monsters. This is also wrong.

Hey, FOOL, u don't know me..I HAVE been beaten by a GROUP of non-whites, while unarmed so I feel qualified to say something but I'm grown enough to know how to use my words to express how I feel about something, without the use of a gun. Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with you having a permit to carry a firearm for protection but there are far too many tragedies that happen when people reach for a gun before they attempt to talk to someone. Yes, there will be situations where you have no choice but when one knows how to use their words like the grown-ups they pretend to be, a lot of those situations can be avoided. These kinds of skills are 1st learned @ home and too much of this kind of crap is what happens when parents are not made responsible for their kids actions from the time that they are little. Yes, our children have to be made responsible for the choices they make @ some point but by that time, a RESPONSIBLE PARENT will have taught their child to do better. Racism is a "learned behavior" and can be "unlearned".

I totally agree with you on this point, although I wouldn't necessarily agree with the word hate.
I can see how one would be confused as a racist for this but my problem is that #1, there are far too many people that have bad experiences with a particular ethnic group and apply that to anyone of that skin color, instead of that particular person and #2, there are too many other ethnicities who fit that description, to be able to restrict that kind of label only to people of color. I really have a problem with people who think they are better than other people, based solely on the color of their skin. That is wrong.
Just my opinion, yes, a lot of black people have taken steps to overcome that. Contrary to popular belief, not all black people are hoodlums, ignorant people of low character and people who glamorize the 'thug' life. There are people of all ethnicities who fit that bill.
I think this a fair statement and I do agree that this is also wrong. Racism is a "learned behavior" and needs to be "unlearned" but too many people don't want to be the 1st to try and do something about it.
I also just want to add that I really appreciate your post, as this is exactly the kind of intelligent answer I was asking for.

Carter also EFFED up the military. I know, because I joined it when he was president. It was an EFFED UP "defense dept." Tens of thousands of CRIMINALS, including FELONS, were "offered" the chance of either joining the military, or going to PRISON. The result?? Tons of FELONS joined the military, who were CLEARLY not the type of person who could adapt to a high-disciplined environment. Reagan finally fixed it. He instituted DRUG TESTING, recruits had to have a HIGH-SCHOOL diploma, not be a FELON, etc.

You know, I could understand if we were talking about grade school children but this is talking about a college age person. What, do they have a class in college for that? Racism 101..wow! As I've said before, racism is something that is taught to us, usually @ home, from the time we are very YOUNG, not already adults who are capable of being more informed and making more informed decisions. Obviously, this guy was just looking for something to excuse the decision he made to hurt these people, blame everything and everyone else and not take personal responsibility for his actions.

And I repeat, "If you don't have any better way of responding to this post, other than calling names an degrading the opinions of others, please don't bother". This just further proves my point of the whole topic.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - June 29, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Sports Page 2A Tanker Captain Charged In Oil Spill Sheriff Heath 'Confused' By Funding Connors Out At Wimbledon Page 7 A A Quick Read Angler Pulls In Fishy 50-Pounder CHARLESTON (AP) — A fisherman has turned over to authorities what was probably his biggest catch ever — about 50 pounds of cocaine worth up to $20 million he found floating near here, the Coast Guard said. The fisherman told officials he found the cocaine about 46 miles southeast of Charleston, Coast Guard Lt. Ronald L. Roddam said Tuesday. At 6:15 p.m. Saturday, the sport fishing boat Fishing Magician radioed the Coast Guard that it "had something we might be interested in," Roddam said. Thirteen minutes later, a 41-foot Coast Guard boat met the Fishing Magician at the jetties of Charleston Harbor. At the Guard's Ashley River base, the fisherman, who asked to remain anonymous, surrendered the 23 kilograms of cocaine to the Coast Guard. The cocaine was then turned over to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Roddam said. If sold in kilogram bricks, the cocaine would be worth about $2.5 million, Roddam said. But the street value of ounce packages would be about $20 million, he said. The Coast Guard continued to search for other floating bags of the illegal substance, he said. Marcos Battles For His Life HONOLULU (AP) - Former Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos clung to life today, battling massive organ failure, hospital officials said. 'Everything that can be done has been done. We are hoping for a miracle," said Marcos' wife, Imelda. "If we could just tell him he could go home, I know that would save him." The 71-year-old exiled leader, who has been hospitalized at St. Francis Medical Center since Jan. 15, suffered liver failure Wednesday and had a fever as high as 104 degrees, said assitant hospital administrator Eugene Tiwanak. Marcos has been on life support equipment since late May, when he suffered heart, lung and kidney failure.

America Sinks Deeper In Debt Despite Improved Performance By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Despite a huge improvement in the country's trading performance, the United States sank further into the hole as the world's largest debtor nation last year. The government was to provide its annual accounting of just how much in hock America is to the rest of the world today. In advance of the report, analysts believed the figure would come out somewhere around $500 billion, up from a foreign debt burden of $368.2 billion being carried at the end of 1987. The debt means that foreigners own more in U.S. assets than Americans own abroad. Private economists worry this foreign debt burden will ultimately lower American living standards as more and more wealth is transferred into the hands of foreigners to pay interest on the growing debt. The United States had an investment surplus of $89.4 billion as recently as 1983, making it the world's largest creditor nation. That surplus fell to $3.5 billion in 1984 and disappeared altogether in 1985, the year the country became a net debtor for the first time in 71 years. The country's investment surplus evaporated as the country ran up tntge merchandise trade deficit : during the lJ6Gs, transferring billions of dollars into the hands of foreigners to pay for imported cars and television sets. These dollars, now in foreign hands, have been reinvested in the United States in everything from stocks and bonds to factories and real estate, raising alarms in Congress that something must be done to curb the "selling of America." The transformation of the United States from the largest creditor country to the world's biggest debtor is often seen by critics as the one of the biggest failures of former President Reagan's economic policies. (Please See AMERICA, Page 16A) By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A much-anticipated Supreme Court decision on the fate of legalized abortions was not announced today, as the court extended its 196&-89 term until Monday. A decision in a Missouri case called Webster vs. Reproductive Health Services was not among the two rulings announced from the bench during the court's brief public session. The justices are being asked to use the Missouri case to reverse the court's 1973 landmark decision legalizing abortion. Chief Justice William H. Rehn-quist said from the bench, "On Monday, July 3, the court will announce all the remaining opinions during this term of the court." The Webster case is one of three cases separating the court from its three-month summer 26, before ending its current term. Rehnquist's statement might indicate that decisions in the Webster case and two other cases will be announced Monday. But instead of announcing a decision, the justices could choose to order another round of arguments during the term that begins in October. That would delay a decision until sometime in 1990. Roe vs. Wade itself was a case that had to be argued twice before a decision was announced. Such orders are not rare. The court hears arguments in about 150 cases each term, and since 1977 has held over at least one case for reargument the following term. recess, which reporters previously had been led to believe 'ould begin today. Despite rumors that some justices are still writing opinions, the delay could have an administrative explanation. For example, the court's computer print shop could be having trouble producing enough copies of the abortion ruling to meet what will surely be a flood of requests. The case has become the most closely watched Supreme Court controversy of the 1980s. The court must say something about the case, in which oral arguments were conducted April In the 1973 decision, the court said women have a constitutional right, based on their right to privacy, to seek and obain abortions. The ruling said a woman's decision to have an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy must be left to her and her doctor. It said states may regulate abortions during the second trimester only to protect the woman's health, and may take steps to protect fetal life in the third trimester. State authority to regulate abortions after the first trimester was not made absolute, however. City To End Fiscal Year In Great Financial Shape By CARL LANGLEY Staff Writer With only two days left in the 1988-89 fiscal year, the City of Aiken is in excellent financial condition and apparently will post a surplus in both its utilities and general fund budgets. "We have had an excellent year, and we are well in the black with both budgets," City Manager Roland H. Windham said in an interview Wednesday. When the city's fiscal year closes Friday, the final figures could show slightly more than $1 million left in the till, with the bulk of that money in the utilities division. Through May, the general fund budget had an unspent balance of $970,369.84, while the utilities budget posted an unspent balance of $1,491,110.60. If June's expenditures in both general fund and utility fund are on the same level with those of May, the general fund will use about $820,000 of its balance, while utilities will spend about $242,000. Assuming those monthly spending estimates fall into place, the final accounting should leave the city with about $1,350,000 to carry over to the next fiscal year. Although the city's $15.6 million budget reaches its final days in good financial shape, Windham said the utilities division has some sigificant expenses looming in the next fiscal year. "Some of the utilities money left over is for capital projects that will be done in the next year, ' said the city manager. "We have gone to bids on them, but we have not spent the money." Windham said the utilities budget also had a shortfall of about $120,000 in pro jected revenues during the current fiscal year, but that deficit was corrected with an increase in water and sewer fees in the next business year. Windham said the increase, due to go into effect Aug. I, will recoup the $120,000 shortage and bring in an additional $160,000 in the coming year. The extra money will be used to replace worn out service lines. The city's bond capacity was used during the past year to provide funding for a $250,000 swimming pool, two public safety sub-stations worth a combined $500,000 and the purchase of the $900,000 Aiken Mile Track. Windham said the city so far has not spent from its bond reserve its share of the money earmarked for a new public library and some storm drainage Financial Report General Fund Spent through May......$9,247,410.16 Total Budget..............$10,217,780.00 Left in Budget................$970,369,84 Utilities Fund Spent through May......$3,952,919.40 Total Budget .....$5,444,030.00 Left in Budget.............$1,491,110.60 projects. The city manager said he expects that during the next fiscal year the city will tackle a number of major projects — including sewer line work on the south side, (Please See City, Page 16A) Derrick Assured By Official Reactor Will Be Built At SRS From Staff Reports The U.S. Department of Energy official in charge of the new production reactor told Aiken's congressman this week that a DOE team would visit the Savannah River Site this year to begin planning reactor construction. Dominic Monetta, newly named head of the NPR office in Washington, assured U.S. Rep. Butler Derrick, I>S.C., that ground will be broken at SRS within five years, and the reactor will open within a decade. Savannah River is the department's preferred site for a new heavy water-cooled nuclear reactor to provide perishable tritium gas essential to arming nuclear weapons. A smaller, backup reactor is proposed for Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The two projects, expected to cost about $6.8 billion together, would replace SRS' three existing reactors, now idled for safety upgrades. Rep. Derrick said many of his constituents continue to worry that Savannah River will end up without a new reactor. Some Washington State officials want to use an abandoned commercial reactor there for military production. But Derrick said Monetta assured him "there's no doubt the NPR will come to the Savannah River Site. The alternatives just don't measure up."Environmental Groups Want DOE To Come Clean On Toxic Wastes By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Savannah River Site was among 14 of the country's 17 nuclear weapons plants that were "in serious violation of federal hazardous waste laws" last year, according to a published report today of federal documents obtained by an environmental gi oup. The Natural Resources Defense Council said the documents revealed the Savannah River Site near Aiken was among the repeat offenders, and was considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be a "significant noncomplier," the Washington bureau of the (Charleston) News & Courier reported. According to council spokesman Jim Werner, the South Carolina plant violated regulations pertaining to the disposal of toxic waste, and to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. Corrective action has been taken in both instances, he said. At other sites, monitoring systems were found to be inadequate to detect contaminated ground water before it migrates off the site, "potentially into drinking water supplies," Werner said.

24 hours above the streets of Mongkok
Hong Kong's most crowded neighborhood is a warren of little-known music venues, alternative art galleries and unusual restaurants. The only catch? They're all upstairs. Here's how you can spend 24 hours above Mongkok.
3pm: Chill out
Start your upstairs adventure with a drink and an afternoon snack at Full Cup, Mongkok's coolest upstairs cafe. Spanning three floors, each one with different decor, the cafe is a hangout for creative types who savor the chilled-out atmosphere and cute fourth floor terrace. Food is half-priced in the afternoon -- our pick is an iced chocolate banana coffee with a pizza.
4-6/F, Hanway Commercial Building, 36 Dundas Street, tel +852 2771 7775
5pm: Art above your head
Hop north to C&G Artpartment, an alternative art space three stories above Sai Yeung Choi Street. Founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife team Cheng Yee-man (better known as Ah Gum) and Clara Cheung, the Art-partment gives Kowloon a much-needed outlet for conceptual art that challenges Hong Kong's established order. Past exhibitions have included a dialog between artists and Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang and an exhibition in 2008 that looked at the role of greed in the global financial collapse. In between exhibitions, Cheng and Cheung run afternoon art workshops for children and adults.
3/F, 222 Sai Yeung Choi St South, tel +852 2390 9332 www.candg-artpartment.com
6pm: BBQ in the sky
We've written about it before, but Mongkok BBQ is good enough to mention twice. Several stories above Soy Street, the roof of an old tenement building has been transformed into a country-style barbecue garden, with five BBQ pits, a buffet of Hong Kong-style treats (fish balls, chicken wings, scallops) and fridges full of endless tea, soft drinks and beer. The "secret" has spread, so make a reservation, especially on weekends.
29 Soy Street, tel +852 6693 8700
9pm: Tong Saam
Part of Mongkok's allure is that there's always more to it than meets the eye. From the outside, the old, crumbling shophouse at Shanghai Street looks like it houses a pawn shop, a few apartments and not much else. If you know the right people, though -- or more accurately, are friends with the right Facebook friends -- you'll discover that the third floor has quietly become a venue for great parties, art, poetry and indie music shows. Check Tong Saam's Facebook page to get the latest on what's happening.
11pm: Backyard drinks
Mongkok isn't all about hush-hush art spaces and rooftop BBQs. The Langham Place Hotel's newly opened outdoor lounge the Backyard adds a touch of refinement to the area's nightlife. Set four stories up from buzzing Shanghai Street, the Backyard is a 6,000-square-foot oasis of wicker lounge chairs, a waterfall and more greenery than a typical Hong Kong park. The drinks aren't cheap -- don't expect much change when you hand over that HK$100 -- but with an outdoor space this big in a setting this rare, who's complaining?
4/F, Langham Place Hotel, 555 Shanghai Street, tel +852 3552 3388 hongkong.langhamplacehotels.com
1am: Late-night mahjong
There's no shortage of things to do in Mongkok after midnight, be it drinking, singing or other things we can't write about here. But one of the most quintessentially Hong Kong activities is mahjong, and for an intimate all-night mahjong session with some friends, head up to the upper floors of the Golden Era Plaza, where several clubs offer private mahjong rooms. If your mahjong skills aren't up to snuff, head downstairs to one of the many karaoke lounges.
Golden Era Plaza 39-55 Sai Yee Street
11am: Rooftop swimming
Rise and shine! There's no better way to collect your senses after last night's debauchery than with a dip in the Metropark Hotel Kowloon's heated rooftop pool. For a bit more indulgence (and nearly double the room rates), the Langham Place Hotel has an even swankier rooftop pool: there's an underwater sound system, an on-site masseuse and an unparalleled view of Mongkok.
Metropark Hotel Kowloon, 75 Waterloo Road, tel +852 2761 1711 hongkonghotel.metroparkhotelkowloon.com
Langham Place Hotel, 555 Shanghai Street, tel +852 3552 3388 hongkong.langhamplacehotels.com
2pm: Hiking... in Mongkok?
Mongkok might be crowded but you don't have to go far to escape. Just beyond the Flower Market, next to the Tai Hang Tung playing fields, is a gorgeous hill with a variety of dirt walking trails. The hill is popular with elderly people from the surrounding area who go there to play mahjong, listen to Cantonese opera and sit in the woods. It's just rustic enough to trick you into thinking you've left the city entirely -- that is, until you catch a glimpse of Langham Place through the trees.

Westbound trains, for the most part, platform on Tracks 1, 2, and 3 at Jamaica. The train that takes you from Huntington to Jamaica does not stop at Woodside. The conductor on your train will tell you on which track the train to Woodside will arrive. The Woodside train MAY not be a direct connection, but may arrive 5 minutes or so after you arrive in Jamaica. (You get off your train at Jamaica and wait 5 minutes). And one more thing... it may not be the FIRST train that arrives after you in Jamaica. The signs on each platform will scroll a list of stations that the next train will stop at. Just make sure the train you board stops at Woodside.
The train to Woodside will stop at Platform B. Conveniently, the train to Mets-Willets Point also leaves from Platform B, but will be heading in the opposite direction (as you are going West to go to Woodside then back east to get to Mets / Willets Point). You wait there for the train to Port Washington. Just follow the other Mets fans. You won't be alone.
One note... They will not hold the Port Washington Train. Therefore, if your train is late getting to Woodside, and the next train isn't for a half hour or so, you might as well just take the 7.
And yes, I'd take the 7 train to Woodside after the game. I wouldn't want to miss my eastbound train because I had to wait for a westbound train at Mets / Willets Point. Remember, trains from Woodside to Jamaica (and other points east NOT on the Port Washington Branch) leave from Platform A.
You may simply want to buy a round trip ticket from Huntington to Woodside, and ride the 7 train from Woodside to CitiField. Your return trip in the PM (if it is indeed at 5:58 PM) will be a PEAK ticket. You can always buy an off-peak Round Trip and pay the step up fare onboard the train w/o paying the fee on your way home.
I meant to respond to this last night, but forgot. Anyway, thanks a lot for the info. This was very helpful getting to and from the game today.

All-Star starting pitcher Matt Harvey of the New York Mets has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow and is likely to miss the rest of the Major League Baseball season.
Harvey, a candidate for the National League's Cy Young Award and a starter in last month's All-Star Game at his home Citi Field ballpark, was stunned after the tear was revealed by an MRI taken early on Monday in New York.
"Nothing is shooting in my elbow at all," the 24-year-old right-hander told reporters. "That's not the issue. When I heard the news, I was pretty shocked. But I'm still very optimistic. I'm going to do everything I can so I don't have to get surgery."
Harvey, who is 9-5 with a 2.27 earned run average this season and a league-leading 191 strikeouts, experienced increased discomfort in his forearm as he gave up a career-high 13 hits in 6-2/3 innings against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.
"I didn't see velocity issues or anything like that, so obviously I was able to go out there and throw," the right-handed pitcher said. "Unfortunately this weekend there just happened to be a little more discomfort than in previous starts."
Though Harvey and the Mets hope he will be able to avoid having Tommy John reconstructive surgery, that option has not been ruled out.
"Over the next two or three weeks, the situation with the overall prognosis and ultimate treatment will be determined," said Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson. "These injuries are often progressive, and so it is conceivable that surgery will be necessary. It's conceivable that no surgery will be necessary at this time and may be necessary at some point down the road."
The Phillies' Cliff Lee outpitched Zack Wheeler after the Mets learned of Harvey's injury, and Cody Asche had a two-run triple as Philadelphia beat New York 2-1.
Lee (11-3) allowed a run and five hits in eight innings to win for the first time in seven starts since July 5. Asche hit his first major league triple with two outs in the fourth as the Phillies improved to 7-4 under new manager Ryne Sandberg and won for the second time in 15 road games.
The Blue Jays ended a 10-game losing streak against the New York Yankees with a 5-2 victory on Monday after R.A. Dickey pitched into the seventh inning and Jose Reyes sparked the Toronto offense.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 650th home run, a leadoff drive in the fifth inning, but the Yankees lost for the ninth time in 13 road games this month. Rodriguez is 10 homers away from tying Willie Mays for fourth on the career list, which would secure a $6 million bonus for the third baseman.
Derek Jeter went hitless in his return to New York's lineup. Jeter, who had been out with a calf injury, finished 0 for 3 with a walk.
In the American League, Coco Crisp and Daric Barton each drove in two runs, leading the Oakland Athletics past Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers 8-6.
Cabrera hit his 43rd homer, bolstering his pursuit of another Triple Crown, but Barton had a tiebreaking RBI single in Oakland's two-run sixth inning. Crisp also had a solo homer during his three-hit performance.
Kansas City's Jeremy Guthrie tossed five effective innings, helping the Royals roll to a victory 11-1 in the makeup of a snowed-out game from early May.
The Texas Rangers downed the Seattle Mariners 8-3 and the Houston Astros defeated the Chicago White Sox 10-8.
In the NL, Zack Greinke came within one strike of his fifth career shutout, and Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig homered as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-2.
Cardinals slugger Allen Craig hit his first career grand slam with two outs in the seventh inning helping St. Louis beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-6.
Matt Holliday also had a long three-run homer as St. Louis moved into sole possession of first place in the NL Central for the first time since July 29. The Cardinals lead idle Pittsburgh by a half-game and Cincinnati by 3½ games.
In other games, the Colorado Rockies downed the San Francisco Giants 6-1 and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Diego Padres 6-1.

Golf: Tiger may just have to get stuck in and return: Donald
By Tony Jimenez
WATFORD, England (Reuters) - Former world number one Luke Donald spoke with the benefit of experience on Tuesday when the Briton suggested Tiger Woods
may have to simply grit his teeth and commit to a definite comeback date.
Fourteen-times major winner Woods, out for 14 months due to back-related issues, announced this week his game was not sharp enough for a return at the PGA Tour event in California starting on Thursday or at next month's Turkish Airlines Open.
Donald knows the psychological barrier the 40-year-old American has to overcome because the Englishman was sidelined for five months in 2008 after sustaining an injury to his left wrist.
"I'm not sure, when you take a break, if you're ever ready," the tournament host told a news conference ahead of this week's British Masters at The Grove.
"I think sometimes you want to dive in a little bit and get stuck in. It sounds like clinically he's fine, he's just not quite ready to tee it up from a mental standpoint perhaps."
Donald spent 56 weeks at the top of the rankings in four spells in 2011 and 2012 but has since slipped to number 69.
The 38-year-old showed flashes of his old self when he finished second at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina in August and, after taking four weeks off following the conclusion of the FedExCup last month, he is raring to go at The Grove. Continued...
