Forgot I had these pix.... I smoked this up while the board was down during the time of Hurricane Sandy. Can't remember the recipe for the Mac n cheese, but I do remember I used 4 or 5 different cheeses in there.
Love me some smoked Mac n cheese. I may hafta make it again soon.

We're geeks who use Twitter, right? Â And for those of us who use Twitter to its actual potential, we take advantage of Twitter lists.
While I realize that some people organize their own lists in their own way because they have their own method to their madness, then there are those common threads that most of us probably can agree on.
Just how many of us have Twitter lists that overlap?
Did you know that Twitter caps the number of lists that you can have at 20? BUT, if you follow someone else's list, it'd only count as one! Â Imagine the reduction in overhead thanks to consolidation.
For the past 2 years, I have been trying to get the South Florida technology community on the same page, and I think that this would be a great way to start.
Let's take a look at my lists for example:
- https://twitter.com/#!/technomensch/org-acts/
- https://twitter.com/#!/technomensch/fl-events
- https://twitter.com/#!/technomensch/flsocialmedia
- https://twitter.com/#!/technomensch/sflgeeks
- https://twitter.com/#!/technomensch/sfl-food-geeks
Now, there is no way that I'm going to say that this list is 100% complete by any stretch of the imagination.
With the number of people we network with, combined with how frequently new users join Twitter, it's almost impossible for all of us to keep track of everyone.
…And I'll be the first to admit that it could probably use some trimming and moving around.
But as the South Florida SOCIAL Geeks, don't we owe it to ourselves to at least make an attempt to share our knowledge with others?

She leaves behind her brother Tom Mackenzie.
Chairman of the Malden and Coombe Royal British Legion and councillor Ken Smith said: "Mary was a well known lady who worked tirelessly as secretary for the Malden and Coombe branch of the Royal British Legion.
"She received many acclaims for her fine Work - the mayor's award, best secretary for the whole of Surrey to name but a few.
"We in the Legion salute her for her hard work volunteering so that those injured ex service men and women could lead a normal life after as possible. We will remember her."
Mary joined the branch in 1999 as a secretary and continued in the same role for 15 years.
June Fairclough, treasurer of the branch, said: "She was a very nice person. She would help anybody. She would go and see people if they were not well. She was just someone that you would want to be friends with.

The 12th and most difficult labour of Hercules was to vanquish Cerberus, the three-headed hound guarding the gates of the Underworld – without using weapons.
How appropriate, then, that California State Teachers' Retirement System (Calstrs) has disarmed Cerberus Capital Management, the private equity firm, so quickly and comprehensively. On Tuesday, Cerberus said it would sell its stake in Freedom Group, manufacturer of one of the weapons used in last week's Sandy Hook school shooting.
There are obvious reasons why Calstrs, which was reviewing its investment in Cerberus, moved so fast. In fact, it seems somewhat extraordinary that it had not previously noticed and severed the indirect link between its beneficiaries' retirement funds and gun manufacturers. It is also arguable whether divestment by Cerberus – presumably to another, less sensitive buyer – will achieve real policy change. But it is a start. Read more

Rock N' Roll In a Bottle: Meet Cherry Bomb Killer Perfumes!
Independent perfumers Maria McElroy and Alexis Karl teamed up to create sexy, Rock N' Roll inspired scents for the modern woman.
-PJ Gach
What happens when two perfumers meet on the floor of a posh, chi-chi New York City boutique department store? You'd expect stilettos at dawn, right? In the case of Maria McElroy, creator of the Aroma M line of fragrances and Alexis Karl, creator of the Scent by Alexis house of fragrances, it was instant friendship.
As women perfumers in a male-dominated field, they became supportive of each other's work as well as fans of each other's fragrance lines. One sunny day, the two were spending time in a park; the idea for the House of Cherry Bomb perfumes was born. Get 'em now at BettyConfidential Shop for 30% off!
What is the House of Cherry Bomb? It's two delicious fragrances: Rebel Angel and Truth or Dare. Both are born from Alexis and Maria's love of music and the heady atmosphere of the rock n' roll lifestyle. Music that moves your soul, clothing that reflects your mood and that electricity you get when something moves you; from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Read on for our e-chat with Maria and Alexis. Super cool women who broke boundaries while listening to punk music and having the times of their lives.
BettyConfidential: How did you become a perfumer?
Maria McElroy: After spending seven years in Japan and studying Aroma Therapy in Australia, I returned to the US, where my newly found adoration of fragrance led me to experimentation in my own home. Imagine bottles lining every surface and essential oils wafting through the rooms cluttered with hand- printed Japanese papers and cherry blossoms (my flower of inspiration!). I started creating perfume; bottling them in delicate glass adorned with silks and velvet and friends started asking for more and more them. It became clear this was my calling.
BettyConfidential: What is the education process like to become a perfumer?
MM: I have an Aroma Therapy background, and am actually a licensed aroma therapist. I would say my olfactory training came from this as well as from Kodo, the Japanese Incense Ceremony.
Kodo is like a very elegant game from the esteemed Heian era. One smells the burning incense in a small brassier and must describe the perfumed elements in poetic language, creating art from olfactory art.
BettyConfidential: What are the steps to create a fragrance and how long can it take to make a scent?
MM: First I imagine the fragrance, often in colors and then I begin to put the notes together. Some perfumes can come very easily; others can take longer as in the case of Geisha Rouge, it was the hardest scent for me. It took many years to perfect the concept of the scent. Geisha Rouge has no florals, yet contains the most notes I have used to date. It is one of my more complex blends and I find it to be one of the most sexy, erotic scents in my line.

Here are the most common questions we get asked about Project ADAM and the purchase and use of AEDs.
To date there have been no successful lawsuits against schools that have used an AED, even if the victim has not survived. In fact, trends show schools may be at risk of litigation for not having AEDs available. Check the Department of Health and Family Services in your state for information on public access defibrillation. The Good Samaritan Law also includes information on public access defibrillation.
Training must be provided by instructors certified to teach programs approved by the Department of Health and Family Services. Organizations with certified instructors include the American Heart Association, Red Cross, MEDIC First Aid International, American Safety and Health Institute curriculums, and National Safety Council. All instructors should be certified and able to show proof of certification. The Medical College of Wisconsin has three certified training centers located in Milwaukee: Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital and Paramedic Training Center.
Most schools train existing code blue or emergency response team members. Schools also should encourage athletic directors, coaches, janitors and students to become certified to use the AED and to perform CPR. Formal retraining is required either yearly or every other year. However, we encourage schools to practice the response plan more often. The Project ADAM manual has practice scenarios that can be used for informal review sessions.
In Wisconsin a medical director is not required by law. However, we strongly encourage you to have medical oversight of your program. Each state should check the laws specific to public access defibrillation to see if medical oversight is required. For schools without a physician on staff, a local emergency department physician may be willing to oversee your program. Many emergency medical directors also are willing to provide medical oversight.
Project ADAM does not provide recommendations for specific AED devices. We will provide you with the names and contact numbers for vendors who sell FDA-approved devices. AED vendors, your local EMS and medical professionals in your community can provide insight as to which device best fits your needs.
Project ADAM has created templates of all policies, procedures and letters that are required by Wisconsin Act 7. We also offer personal consultations to tailor the PAD program to your specific institution.
The key is having all the facts when you approach administration. The extent of the problem, the legal issues, cost, training and program implementation all are factors to be considered. Project ADAM staff can help you put together your presentation. We also have a CD and video that you can use to generate support and funding. In addition, we are able to travel to your location and speak with key groups of people to help explain the program and the implications for the school and community.
Planning begins with a committee of key people including school administrators, athletic personnel, school nurses, parents, local emergency medical personnel, medical directors and any community groups you have identified as being interested in supporting the initiative. The Project ADAM manual helps you answer some initial questions, anticipate the costs and begin planning for training and program implementation. We also have staff who can lead your first meeting and assist with the planning process. In addition, we have identified initiatives that may help you secure funding, including a CPR/AED training grant from Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for Wisconsin schools.

Pool PartyTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Nora Shekrie walked into a bar ...
Well, it was the back room of the Sub Standard, the closest thing to an authentic pub in her home town. Like many bars, the Sub Standard decorated the walls with an eclectic mixture of nostalgic antiques (if you were willing to wait 30 years), sports memorabilia (if you didn't mind lithographic reproductions of 1950s posters), and pub paraphernalia. The last consisted of spare pieces to the darts set Junior Wehrman had busted up in a drunken fit one night, beer mats from various patrons' trips to the far reaches of the Earth (including one from New York, a whole time zone away), and a few worn-out tapper parts.
She held up two fingers, her signal for a pint of Rogue Shakespeare Stout, the second tap from the left. All in all, she mused, the ambience was about right; hints of the old and respected, the broken, the spare pieces with little use any more -- all in all, a lot like the owner and the patrons. Nora looked around, greeting a few friends with a raised eyebrow or a smile. Something seemed odd; nobody approached her, but they all seemed to be doing their best to watch her without being caught staring.
Nora checked to make sure her zippers were zipped, her hair was in place, her teeth had no food in them, and that the table and chairs weren't booby-trapped. Satisfied with her immediate environs, she continued looking around the room.
"Clarence," she called to the bartender, "I see you've added a few things to the walls."
"Got that one, you did. Took a couple down to make room for them, too."
"Really?" She looked again, more closely. "Well, the old Ty Cobb poster is finally gone, the one with the number on his back. The People's Beer stuff is down now; I hope you got a good price?"
He nodded, rubbing his fingers together. She went on. "I like the pre-pasteurization Coors stuff in its place. Where's the mushing harness from?"
"It's one Rachael Scdoris wore out training for last year's Iditarod. It seemed to fit." He finished drawing her pint and brought it to the table. "My cousin knows her father; it's autographed on one of the connectors ... in Braille ... on the side against the wall."
Nora laughed. "Fits the place." She took a long pull of the dark beer, looking around at the other walls. Looking far to her right, she noticed a recruiting poster for the Young Republicans, the old green-glassed railroad lantern, the photo of the high school football team with Clarence in the second row, a beaten-up life ring bearing the stenciled identification "U.S.S. Titanic" around the upper two-thirds of the circumference, and a photo of Don King and Muhammed Ali talking with Howard Cosell, all three mouths open at the same time.
Suddenly, her attention shifted; she started choking on her drink.
"Are you okay, Nora?"
"Mark the time!"
"What's wrong, Nora?"
Several people were talking at once. Now, everyone was looking at her, tensed, waiting.
She gave them a "thumbs-up" to show she was okay. After about half a minute, she cleared her airways enough to laugh.
"Okay, Clancy -- nice gag! Where'd you get it?"
"That depends; if you know which one it is, and I think you do, that pint and its replacement are on the house."
Nora explained the surprise that had made her choke.
"She's right," Clancy declared, "time, Fred?"
A burly man at the end of the bar held up his lap-timing wristwatch by the band. "From door to choke, three minutes, eight seconds. Who's closest?"
Nora's mouth dropped open. "You ran a POOL on how long it would take me to notice?"
"Yup," Clarence grinned, "and you're the first to get it all alone. Monette wins at 3:03."
What was the "planted" item?
AnswerIt's the life ring. The RMS Titanic was a British vessel, not US.
For those who care about the other references ...
People's Beer is indeed a collectible brand. The Oshkosh brewery went out of business in 1972.
When Ty Cobb played baseball, there weren't any numbers on uniforms.
Rachael Scdoris is the blind Iditarod musher featured last year on National (USA) Public Radio.

Perfection perfected.
It's hard to believe that electronic shifting has been in our vocabulary, let alone on our bikes, for less than half a decade. And while electronic perfection has now become the en-vogue aspiration point for engineers, it's easy to forget that Shimano got the bandwagon kick-started. We still remember the dropped jaws and even the skeptical and naysayers at the advent of 7970. We understood: it was relatively unproven technology. But now, we've already witnessed the unbranded prototype power of the Dura-Ace Di2 RD-9070 Rear Derailleur under the legs of pro teams throughout the 2012 season. Accordingly, we hold no reservation in saying that 9070 is perfection perfected.
Starting at the question that's on the tip of everyone's tongue, is it lighter than 7970? The answer is yes, but only by around eight grams. However, if you're like us, 9070's enhanced shift precision is more important than comparing lightweight to lighter weight. But, as long as we're making comparisons, you'll immediately notice that 9070 is far more compact than 7970, and the cable routing is simplified and cleaner. In fact, Shimano based the shape and connection points in tow with the Ultegra 6770 rear derailleur. And along these lines, we find that the relatively confusing setup and wire cluster of 7970 has been replaced with Shimano's newest generation of its E-Tube electronics system.
Now, with your PC computer, you're able to make rear derailleur adjustments and setting alterations without even picking up a wrench. So, while you're manually rotating the cranks, E-Tube allows you to direct and adjust the guide pulley up or down, as well as to shift the gears up or down the cassette. You can even program the number of gears that you're running, a vital application given that 9070 operates with both 10- and 11-speed cassettes. Of course, E-Tube also performs a complete system and problem diagnosis, pinpointing any possible human error as a result of improper setup or riding. This removes the slightest hint of shifting inaccuracy, essentially keeping your shifting system running on-point at all times, even if you don't possess a fiber mechanical aptitude.
Extending this sense of power-to-the-user functionality is 9070's ability to shift up to a 28 tooth cassette capacity. Now, with 11-speeds and a high gear capacity, your available gear range will propel you through the fastest and steepest conditions that the road will throw at you. And when speeds become fearsome, and a crash unfortunately occurs, the derailleur cage will move itself out of harm's way, protecting at least one of your investments.
The Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 RD-9070 Rear Derailleur is available in one color and in one size.

Zero issues, exactly what you want
Having used Ultegra Di2 on a couple of other bikes, I was ready to step up to the Dura Ace version. Lighter, crisper and more durable. Can't wait to use it this spring.
does this component come with the shimano tool that is needed to plug / unplug the wiring from the component?
No, but the shifters come with the tool.
DA Di2.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Need I say more? A little tight on the clearance with my Tune DC14 skewer nut but that DA doe...
Is it actually correct to state that "9070...
Is it actually correct to state that "9070 operates with both 10- and 11-speed cassettes"? Emailing Shimano directly resulted in the advice from their Technical Support team that the only way to run the new 9070 Di2 system with a 10-speed drivetrain is to use the Ui2 derailleur. RD-9070 only works with a 11-speed drivetrain. Can you confirm what's the actual situation and how, if possible, 9070 Di2 can be made to run 10-speed?
I believe I'm correct that there is no way to configure it to run with a 10spd cassette. However, that said, I think you could probably "hack" it, by adjusting the high or low limit screw to stop at cog # 1 or 10, either highest or lowest. If you then shifted beyond that, the derailleur will hit against the screw and not go anywhere. You would then have to push it twice to shift in the other direction. but why don't you just buy an 11 cog cassette? If you're wheel hub won't accept an 11spd cassette, you can probably buy a new cassette body from the hub manufacturer. I did that for my wife's American Classic wheel. (Note: the wheel will need to be redished if you install a larger cassette body.)

Bring out your soft side this spring with lace, flowers, and crocheted pieces. You aren't the dainty type? It's OK, you can add a feminine touch to your outfits with a sexy crocheted back, a flower adorned top, or a simple lace dress. Still too much? Try a lace-inspired piece of lingerie underneath your clothes…then you can go from there.
Don't know what to wear with any of the pieces below? How about pairing any of these tops with a great pair of skinny jeans or leggings. Adding a simple ballet flat will add a romantic touch to any of the dresses below. Not into flats? A nude or taupe heel could work.
Remember: lace, flowers, and crochet don't have to be your worst enemy.
My golden rule: Don't forget to keep it simple. You don't want to look too adorned.

Pisa, a city rich in tradition and culture.
Pisa, a city of great traditions and culture. A city that boasts not only the world-famous Leaning Tower but also prestigious university institutions, renowned hospital centers at the forefront of international medical research, and an outstanding geographic and logistical position.
But Pisa is equally well known for its gastronomic tradition , with a series of dishes that constitute the focal point of Tuscan cuisine. It is a time-honored tradition composed of local specialities that age cannot spoil, full of the flavours of times past.

What's his secret?
The Old Trattoria "at Brunos" is today one of the most sought-after destinations for gourmets and connoisseurs of fine food, for whom Piero Cei is a quite exceptional host. Why not come and meet Piero Cei, and ask him about his special wizardry: whats his secret?. "No secret", he says. "Ive just tried to maintain and enrich the tradition of Pisan cuisine."
A cuisine thats appreciated world-wide.
Whats unique in our restaurant is that we pride ourselves on always offering the right dish for the right season, from mushrooms to fish. Of course we place great emphasis on traditional local delights such as the unbeatable "Hearty soup Pisan style"; the mouth-watering "Pasta and chick-peas"; "Salt cod with leeks ", "Stockfish" , but our gastronomic range is fully international and capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates".
And all the classic and most renowned Pisan and Tuscan dishes.

Jennifer Aniston loves wearing bikinis
Whoever cast Jennifer Aniston in Marley & Me is my new Jesus. The film is shooting in Miami where Jennifer is guaranteed to be sporting a bikini at least once a week. This time around she's got a friend with her (red bikini) who I'm 90% positive is John Mayer. In the meantime, some of these pics aren't focused very well, but with boobs, quantity is always better than quality. I mean, who cares if they're in-focus, out-of-focus, sepiatoned, or attached to
a trucker named Ralph you met last night at Arby's hundreds of women you meet every day while racing Lamborghinis in a ninja suit.

Roger Ailes' Latino Outreach At Odds With Fox News' Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric
Research ››› ››› SALVATORE COLLELUORI
Fox News continues to use offensive terms to refer to undocumented immigrants despite recent comments from CEO Roger Ailes agreeing that Fox needs a new message on immigration. A Media Matters analysis found that Fox News figures and guests have used slurs such as "illegals," "illegal aliens," and "anchor babies" at least 90 times since the 2012 election -- terms that are banned on Fox News' online site for Latinos.
Fox News' Ailes Agrees That Fox Needs A New Message On Immigration
Roger Ailes: "Republicans Haven't Used The Right Language" On Immigration. In an interview with The New Republic, Ailes also stated that the word "illegal immigrant" is a false name:
Ailes knows Fox needs a new message on immigration, even as Fox News Latino draws attention to other issues. "Republicans haven't used the right language," Ailes says. "They keep talking about illegal immigration."
"I think the word 'illegal immigration' is a false name," he continues. "You are talking about two separate issues. One is sovereignty. . . . The media trying to make America feel guilty because we want borders--that, to me, is complete bullshit. Immigration is a separate issue. . . . We should all defend sovereignty, then take a Judeo-Christian approach to immigration. I don't have any problem with a path to citizenship." [The New Republic, 2/11/13, emphasis added]
Ailes: "It's Ridiculous" To Claim That "Fox News Latino Is Softer On Latinos Than Fox News." Ailes also discussed Fox News Latino, the network's news site aimed at the Latino community, saying:
"The contributions being made by Latinos are extraordinary, and we need to talk about them," Ailes says. The Fox News Latino stylebook uses "undocumented immigrant," and the site downplays immigration stories compared with some of its rivals. "Fox News Latino has a mission to point out the positives of the Latino population, operating within the framework of making America great," Ailes says.
That's not as blandly neutral as it sounds. "Hispanics who get on government programs are doing only a little better than they were in the old country," Ailes elaborates. "Fox News Latino will show people how opportunities exist, that whenever we are overregulated, or there is too much government, we lose freedom. We lose power. That is, historically, one hundred percent true."
"There's an assumption that Fox News Latino is softer on Latinos than Fox News in general," Ailes says. "That's ridiculous." Whether Fox's Hispanic audience will note a difference remains to be seen. [The New Republic, 2/11/13]
Analysis: Fox News Prime-Time Hosts Continue To Use Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric
Fox News Prime-Time Hosts And Their Guests Use Terms "Illegals," "Illegal Aliens," And "Anchor Babies" 99 Times After Election. According to a Media Matters analysis, between November 7, 2012 and February 15, 2013, Fox News prime-time hosts and their guests continually used anti-immigrant language:
Fox News Latino Avoids Anti-Immigrant Terms
Former Fox News Latino Managing Editor: "The Word Illegal Is An Accurate Description For Actions, But Not Individuals." In an article discussing the use of the terms "illegal" and "illegal immigrant," Fox News Latino reported:
Fox News Latino, along with other Latino-centered websites, choose [sic] to use the word undocumented immigrant.
"The word illegal is an accurate description for actions, but not individuals," former Fox News Latino Managing Editor Alberto Vourvoulias-Bush said earlier this year. "We don't use it to describe people who commit other crimes. We write about unlicensed drivers, for example, not illegal drivers." [Fox News Latino, 9/25/12]
Media Matters searched news transcripts provided by Nexis and Chronicle for the terms "illegals" and "anchor bab!" between November 7, 2012 (the day after the election) and February 15, 2013 (four days after New Republic article). Those searches were also duplicated in Media Matters internal research databases. Show reruns in non-prime time slots were excluded. Rebroadcasts of segments as well as previously taped interviews were included.

Good Parenting? Thousands of Babies Are on Facebook
Some infants even have their own email address!
-Jane Farrell
Facebook and other social media outlets have been flooded with hundreds of thousands of baby pictures, sonogram results, kiddie profiles and even infant emails, according to a global study.
The study, conducted by AVG, an internet security firm, found that in the United States an astonishing 92 percent of kids under two have an online presence, according to www.theweek.com. Western Europe lags with a mere 73 percent. Breaking down that figure in the United States, 70 percent of moms uploaded baby and toddler photographs, 23 percent of moms shared sonograms of their babies before they were born, seven percent had created email for toddlers, and 5 percent added a social-networking profiles (Some did more than one thing.)
The profiling of babies is perfectly in line with the everything-about-me-is-fascinating belief fostered by Facebook and twitter. ("Beautiful day." "Had meal at Chinese restaurant. Meh.")
Read Would You Leave Your Kid In A Park?
Unfortunately, posting information and pictures of kids might be a bit more interesting than that, but it also carries a greater possibility of embarrassment and harm. When babies become kids, they can find a "digital dossier of themselves," according to J.R. Smith, CEO of AVG. "You are creating a digital history of a human being that will follow him for the rest of his or her life." And while that might sound relatively harmless, no older kid wants to see pictures of themselves going potty for the first time or sobbing hysterically because the dog licked their face.
Smith has even coined a phrase for the phenomenon: The first time kids appear online, he says, is their "digital birth date." And the older a child is when that happens, the better.
If you still want to post pictures or any information on the Internet, Smith says, be aware of the privacy settings on your profile. It's probably a good idea to regularly check the settings as well, just to make sure they haven't changed. (theweek)

Rockies show some power, but fall short in 10th
Homers from Cuddyer and Rutledge not enough to sink Rays
DENVER -- Rockies relief pitcher Matt Belisle wore the usual postgame ice pack on his pitching arm. Usually, there is a smile to make up for the sting of the ice.
Figuratively, he placed the weight of a 7-4, 10-inning Interleague loss to the Rays at Coors Field on Friday night on both his broad shoulders -- even though there were quite a few players who were willing and deserved to help with that burden.
Belisle gave up four hits, including Evan Longoria's RBI single and Kelly Johnson's two-run homer, which accounted for the first earned runs off the Rockies bullpen in 34 2/3 innings.
"This is where I like to pitch in that type of situation, so I'll be ready for it tomorrow," Belisle said. "I've got nothing to say except that was a very poor job tonight. I can't explain it any better. There's just no excuse."
But the Rockies could have won long before that. They touched unbeaten Rays starting left-hander Matt Moore for four runs -- equaling the number he'd given up in five previous starts -- and seven hits in five innings. Michael Cuddyer's sixth homer of the season accounted for two runs in the first inning, Josh Rutledge led off the second with his fourth homer, and rookie Nolan Arenado's second double on his 3-for-5 night tied the game at 4 in the fifth.
Beginning when Moore was in the game and continuing through a bullpen effort that was just a little stronger than that of the Rockies, Colorado hitters went 0-for-9 with five strikeouts with runners in scoring position.
It's not the type of clutch hitting that can keep the Rockies winning. The loss dropped them into a first-place tie with the Giants in the National League West.
"We had a few opportunities to win that game, but we didn't get the hit, or even a productive out," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.
The night also was literally painful.
The Rockies didn't start shortstop Troy Tulowitzki because of tightness in his legs, although he pinch-hit in the eighth and was walked intentionally. Center fielder Dexter Fowler, after extending his hit streak to a career-best 11 games in his first at-bat, left with right hip flexor soreness in the fourth. Both are candidates to return Saturday in the second game of the three-game set.
But the inability to finish off Moore and cash in on their chances against relievers stung the Rockies.
Moore walked Jonathan Herrera and Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Francis to open the bottom of the fourth. Fowler was hurt when he collided with Rays first baseman Sean Rodriguez at first base after he had bunted on his own accord. Moore then struck out Jordan Pacheco and Carlos Gonzalez.
Eric Young Jr., who replaced Fowler, struck out three times, once against Jake McGee with one out and the bases loaded in the eighth and against Fernando Rodney to end the game with runners at second and third. Kyle Farnsworth earned the win with a clean ninth with one strikeout.
Rays right-hander Brandon Gomes struck out Pacheco looking on a low slider to end the eighth with the bases loaded.
A game that started with a well-carried-out plan against Moore ended with execution lacking.
"We were looking for [Moore's] fastball," Rutledge said. "He had never really pitched here before, so we went in looking for his fastball and if he went to his off-speed pitches, we'd have to battle.
"Some of the opportunities with runners in scoring position just got away from us, but we'll come back tomorrow."
Francis controlled the Rays early, but wound up with similar numbers to Moore -- four runs and five hits in five innings. Some of the hits were big -- consecutive doubles by Ryan Roberts and Ben Zobrist in a two-run third and Desmond Jennings' fourth homer of the season for two runs in the fifth.
"I felt like if I'd made some better pitches, we could have been ahead and won this game," Francis said. "I missed with a couple of pitches and it cost me some runs."
Belisle's troubles in the 10th came after a solid bullpen effort. Adam Ottavino in the sixth and seventh and Rex Brothers in the ninth were barely touched. Wilton Lopez faced two on and one out in the eighth, but worked Johnson into a bouncer to the mound and threw out Longoria at the plate, then extracted a fly ball from Yunel Escobar.

A BROMSGROVE based hospice is receiving a fundraising boost from a team taking on a challenging rally this week.
Mark and Donna Farrow, along with Ashley and Laura Almquest, are taking part in the Monte Carlo or Bust 2014 Banger Rally, which starts tomorrow, June 5.
The challenge is to purchase a car for less than £250 and decorate it in a particular style.
The team has purchased a Renault Espace, and chosen a 50s Rock and Roll theme.
Members will be driving through seven countries in three days, beginning in Belgium, then passing through Luxemburg then into Germany for a night in the Black Forest.
They then move on to Italy, for a night in Lake Como, and finish in Monte Carlo for a lap of the famous F1 circuit, and a stay in Nice.
The team are doing the challenge for Mark's 40th birthday, and have chosen to raise money for the Primrose Hospice.
The hospice, based in St Godwald's Road, supports people in Bromsgrove and Redditch who are facing an end of life situation, and also their families.
As part of the fundraising challenge, a collection was held outside ASDA supermarket in Bromsgrove on May 18.
The team has also held cakes sales, and obtained sponsors to raise additional funds.

Reports: Western Psych needs substantial security upgrades
Nurses at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic say they are "fearful of getting hurt" despite some initial security upgrades after the fatal March 8 shootings at the hospital, according to one of two safety reviews that Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. released Thursday.
The nurses said their jobs at the Oakland hospital subject them to a series of hazards on a daily basis, including being approached by patients with knives and razor blades. One patient strangled a nurse through an open medicine dispensary area, the report found.
"Physical security enhancements, such as reducing the size of the medicine dispensing room window, would prevent patients from crawling through the window and in turn mitigate some of the risk," read the undated report by investigators with J.P. Hudson & Associates.
Zappala's office hired the private consulting firm from Beaver Falls and Alexandria, Va.-based Condortech Services to review safety and security at the UPMC facility after former graduate student John Shick, 30, opened fire inside on March 8, killing a worker and wounding five people before police fatally shot him.
Investigators spoke to UPMC employees, toured the facility and reviewed security procedures in the months after the assault by Shick, a former Western Psych patient who Zappala said was angry over what he considered mistreatment and misdiagnoses by numerous doctors.
Shick did not encounter any metal detectors or armed guards, both of which UPMC has since placed in the lobby.
UPMC officials on Thursday did not return calls. In October, spokeswoman Gloria Kreps said the health care giant conducted a comprehensive review of its procedures and identified "opportunities to enhance security."
Zappala declined to comment.
Reducing the size of the medicine dispensary window was a small but potentially important recommendation outlined by investigators in their reports, for which the District Attorney's Office paid $12,000. Hudson is run by a former Secret Service agent, and Condortech, which specializes in electronic security, works with the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and the Department of Defense.
Condortech investigators recommend that UPMC spend up to $2.1 million on upgrades, including adding a central command and operations center and emergency call stations; installing ballistic armor at the front entrance; and upgrading the video surveillance system, personal emergency panic buttons and card swipe system that allows employees entrance to the building.
"In the case of the Shick shooting, had he obtained a card from an employee, he could have gone throughout the hospital creating a substantial more amount of damage than what had already occurred," the Hudson report states. The report recommends a swipe system that also requires a PIN number or an employee's fingerprint verification.
"I would hope to see additional resources as far as staff education and training, what employees and staff should do in the event of an emergency. That's a huge component," said Bryan Warren, president of the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety, a professional group not involved in the reviews.
Warren said dual-authentication access readers are a good idea.
"You have to rely on what you have, what you know and what you are. What you have is an ID card, what you know is a PIN code, and what you are is a fingerprint or a retina. Requiring two of those things is much better than one," he said.
Many of the security issues came to light in June when former Western Psych receptionist Kathryn Leight, 65, of Shaler filed a lawsuit against Shick's estate. Shick shot Leight in the chest and abdomen. Neither Leight nor her attorney, Mark Homyak, returned calls.
Mary Schaab, mother of Michael Schaab, 25 - the therapist who died in the shooting - declined to comment about the security grade recommendations when reached by phone on Thursday.
"I think all the things I'm seeing are positive things," said Zach Zobrist, executive vice president of SEIU Healthcare, the union that represents about 200 workers at UPMC. "You can tell there are real areas that should have been upgraded in the past."
Zobrist said key concerns among employees include staffing levels at night and an upgrade to personal panic buttons. The buttons, which can identify the name and exact location of the person who activated the system, will cost about $883,000.
"Those get into the day-to-day workplace violence issues," Zobrist said. "With the current ones, there are dead zones; they don't always work the way they should."

Did you know?
Albert Luthuli was Africa's first Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
Walk in their shoes, visit their homes and discover the celebrated struggle heroes of KwaZulu-Natal whose fight for freedom left a legacy for future generations of South Africans.
The KwaZulu-Natal Freedom Route spans the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg, leading struggle history pilgrims on a fascinating journey through museums, and homes and hideouts of the region's many anti-apartheid activists.
Durban's KwaMuhle Museum chronicles the lives of Africans who lived and worked in Durban from 1928 to the late 1980s. View the city through their eyes and learn more about labour regulations, separate housing and the protest action taken against such restrictions.
The Luthuli Museum celebrates the life and times of human rights visionary Albert Luthuli. Set in his former home, the museum features significant belongings, a life-size model of the man himself and numerous photographic records of his humanitarian work.
On the outskirts of Durban lies the Cato Manor informal settlement, formerly an inter-cultural blend of Indian and African dwellings. Once home to noteworthy South Africans such as late musician Sipho Gumede and President Jacob Zuma, the area has overcome the riots of 1949 and 1959 and subsequent squatter status to become an integrated community.
North of Durban, along the Inanda Heritage Route, is Phoenix, where Mahatma Gandhi shared his belief in passive resistance. There's also the Ohlange Institute, the first educational facility in South Africa built by Africans for Africans, which was founded by John Langalibalele Dube, the first president of the South African Native National Congress (which became the ANC).
Dating back well over a century, Pietermaritzburg's old prison has survived significant historical events. It features a museum block, gallows, execution block, cells that once held a number of national heroes, and a newly created Project Gateway community development initiative.
Other historical sites worth visiting in the vicinity include Mahatma Gandhi's statue, the old Pietermaritzburg station, the Alan Paton Centre & Struggle Archives, and Sobantu township.
Of particular interest is the Mandela Capture Site near Howick. It was here that the late Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 – this was the catalyst for a series of trials, culminating in the Rivonia Treason Trial that would ultimately see him spend 27 years in prison.
Until relatively recently, the Mandela Capture Site was just a small bricked area with a plaque. But on the 50th anniversary of this event in 2012, an impressive steel sculpture and visitor centre was unveiled to give full recognition to the significance of this spot.

Philadelphia – Thanks to a strong team effort, the University of Pennsylvania volleyball team swept Princeton in three at tonight's Dig Pink match at the Palestra, 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-20). Four Quakers led the way with eight kills apiece and the Red and Blue also notched a total of 10 aces. Not only was a team effort shown on the court but it was shown off the court as Penn eclipsed their campaign goal of $4,000.
Success came early in the first set for the Quakers who never looked back after they jumped out to a four nothing lead, with a service ace from senior captain Dani Shepherd and kills from sophomores Jasmine DeSilva, Alexis Genske, and Michellie McDonald-O'Brien. Princeton could only reach within three, 18-15, but couldn't overcome the energy Penn was bringing and fell, 25-19.
The largest deficit the Quakers faced in the evening was three points, which came in the second-set, down 5-8. It was short lived for the Tigers as senior captain Susan Stuecheli took matters into her own hands. Stuecheli blasted two big kills and swung the momentum back in favor for Penn. The Quakers were all about the back-to-backs as sophomore Ronnie Bither added two straight service aces to turn the score in Penn's favor, 15-11. It was just a short while later when DeSilva put down two kills in a row, pushing the Red and Blue to a 22-17 lead. Two times, the Tigers came within one but failed to take over as Penn claimed the second set, 25-22.
Shepherd's two straight service aces kept the double streak going as she sparked a five-point Quaker run to start the third set. Princeton came back and evened the score twice but ultimately failed after freshman Rachel Baader propelled Penn to a steady five-point lead with two straight service aces. A kill from Genske finished off the night as the Red and Blue won, 25-20. With the win, Penn improved to 10-9 overall, 4-4 Ivy, while Princeton dropped to 6-12 overall, 2-6 Ivy.
Genske, McDonald-O'Brien, DeSilva, and senior captain Kristen Etterbeek put up eight kills. Defensively, Genske claimed the lone solo block of the evening and had two block assists, along with 10 digs behind Shepherd (16).
Next weekend, the Quakers continue their homestand as they host Cornell on Friday and Columbia on Saturday.

In the beginning, the eurozone crisis was a banking sector, private debt and government bond market emergency. Then economic recession, unemployment and welfare expenditure cuts took hold, propelling the growth of anti-EU, anti-establishment and anti-immigrant political movements. Now the eurozone crisis is acquiring a third dimension: one in which national constitutional courts are moving to centre stage.
True, the judges sitting on Germany's constitutional court have been going in this direction since 2009, when they issued a judgement on the EU's Lisbon treaty. But before the eurozone crisis erupted in full force, such rulings were fairly uncontroversial. The judges could reasonably argue in 2009 that they were simply testing if the new EU fundamental treaty was compatible with the democratic principles of Germany's 1949 constitution, known as the Basic Law.
Now that the eurozone crisis has pushed the German government and the European Central Bank into once unimaginable measures to rescue the 17-nation currency bloc, the constitutional court has parked itself on wholly different territory. The judges would indignantly contest this, but when the court opened hearings in June into the legality of the ECB's actions to protect the eurozone, it looked from the outside very much as if the judges had appointed themselves the supreme law lords of European integration – to the exclusion of any other EU or national legal authority.

Dallas -- J.C. Penney on Monday unveiled a restructuring plan, which includes close five department stores and one home store, because they are no longer profitable enough. The retailer named William Ackman to its board after the activist investor became its biggest shareholder
As part of the restructuring, J.C. Penney will wind down its catalog business by shutting 19 outlet stores in the course of 2011 and 2012. The retailer will streamline its call center operations and custom decorating business, closing its call center facilities in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Albuquerque, N.M. J.C. Penney will consolidate all activity supporting its department store and online customers into three existing facilities in Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee.
"The actions we are announcing today are significant steps in an ongoing process to ensure we are best managing costs and allocating our resources effectively to the strategies that will allow us to improve margins and drive profitable sales over the long term," chief executive Myron Ullman said in a statement.
The stores to be shuttered are located in Morrow, Ga.; West Dundee, Ill.; Des Moines, Iowa; High Point, N.C.; and Culpeper, Va. The home store is in Duluth, Ga.
J.C. Penny is also streamlining its custom decorating business, and will close its custom decorating fabrication facility in Sacramento, Calif., leaving one remaining facility in Statesville, N.C., where it will increase its staffing to support customer demand. Additionally, the company will move from managing 525 individual, in-store custom decorating studios to supporting 300 studios in key markets.
J.C. Penney expects the changes will result in a positive impact to earnings in 2012, the first full year of implementation, of approximately $25 to $30 million. Additionally, there will be estimated one-time charges of approximately $30 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and approximately $20 million during 2011 to reflect the transition.
In other news, J.C Penney named William Ackman to its board after the activist investor became its biggest shareholder. Steve Roth will also become a director after his Vornado Realty Trust built a stake in the retailer. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management and Vornado together reported a 26% stake in J.C. Penney in early October.

Hulk Hogan: God wants John Graziano in a coma to make him 'a better person'
Oh, man, those crazy Hogans have done it again! This time Hulk stopped by Larry King Live last night for an emotional interview about his son Nick's imprisonment. At the end of the interview, a teary-eyed Hulk remained positive that Nick's accident happened for a divine reason and then expressed his belief that John Graziano's coma would make him "a better person." Here's an excerpt from the transcript on CNN.com:
KING: It is OK. This is hard. Who could ever imagine.
HOGAN: It is the main focus is my son, my children and John Graziano. It has been a tough one, Larry. You know, you said to me during the break, this is the second part of the dance. So it is halftime and we're positive. We're moving forward.
KING: You believe in god.
HOGAN: Yes, I do.
KING: Do you believe in the second act? Do you believe in forgiveness?
HOGAN: Like I said, this is in God's hand. Things happen for a reason. This is to make Nick a better person. In my belief, this is to make John a better person. It is like I said before, you know, it is god's will where we're at with this situation. I refuse to accept any negativity, any nay sayers. I firmly believe there is a plan. It is god's plan and god's will.
WOW! Because nothing improves your outlook on life than a coma you'll never wake up from. Damn, these people will blame anyone but themselves. I'm looking forward to Linda Hogan appearing on The View where she'll point the finger at, of course, John Graziano along with Satan and "the rat-bastard who invented the wheel." Her son's a driver of vehicles – How could you?!

TELSTRA will open its AFL live-match streaming service to all mobile networks this year, but has nearly doubled the price to $90 per season and $15 per month.
Last year the AFL app was only available to Telstra customers for $50 per season, $10 per month or $5 per game. This year customers on any mobile network can watch matches live on mobile phones or tablets, but non-Telstra customers will pay for data charges.
Streaming a single four-hour match could use more than 1 gigabyte of data. This year the app will also work across wi-fi networks, which means consumers can stream over a fixed broadband connection, but it does not work on Blackberry, Nokia or Windows devices.
This follows a trend in cricket and rugby league, where digital rights holders Vodafone and Telstra respectively allow all fans to watch but don't charge their own customers for the data. Telstra has exclusive digital rights to live AFL matches until 2016.

Voluntary groups who support hundreds of elderly and vulnerable residents every day could face closure after being stripped of funding by Merton Council.
Six adult social care groups, previously funded by the council, have reacted with shock, dismay and anger after bids for funds were rejected due to new criteria outlined in the council's Ageing Well initiative.
Under the scheme only groups deemed to help keep the elderly living in their homes for longer, delaying the need for council funded social care, will receive funding from the council's three year £3m adult social care grant.
Groups set to lose funding from April include Merton Mind, Friends in St Helier, Positive Network, the Asian Elderly Group of Merton, the Merton and Wandsworth Asylum Association Welcome, and the Merton Goans Senior Citizens Association.
Users, volunteers and staff are now facing uncertainty with some groups fearing they may have to close.
The move is expected to save the council £500,000 over three years based on an estimated 182 people being able to stay in their homes for an extra year.
Councillor Stephen Alambritis, leader of Merton Council, said: "The benefit will be that Mrs Jones, who was in danger of going into a care home, will now be able to stay at home for longer.
"If we hadn't put this in place more people would go into care homes which would be more expensive for the tax payer and for the council.
"There will be organisations who will be upset and who won't be happy but there will be transitional funding of six months available and they will be helped to get alternative funding or come up with a business plan to then be able to re-apply to the council."
New services to be introduced include an incontinence service, carer counselling sessions, fitness and fall prevention classes, increased community transport and buddy systems for the disabled.
Chris Frost, chief executive of Merton's Voluntary Service Council said: "Over the past couple of years there has been a shift in the funding culture.
"It's now more about the service provided than any one particular organisation.
"Some groups were not successful in their bids for funding, but we will be supporting those to plan for their future in a variety of ways such as identifying alternative funding, pooling resources with similar organisations and working more with volunteers.
"This will help ensure continued support for members of those groups."
Age UK Merton, Merton & Morden Guild, MertonVision and Volunteer Centre Merton have also had their funding slashed while Merton Community Transport, Merton Mencap and Carers Support Merton will enjoy increased support.
The biggest gain is for Wimbledon Guild of Social Welfare which has seen funding more than double from £112,290 to £289,650.
Positive Network
About: Founded in 2002, funded since 2003.
Provide: Classes, activities and advice sessions for up to 500 people a week.
Previous year's funding: £34,140
Grace Salmon, director, said: "The Positive Network has a good relationship with social workers who have put forward people to use our services because we are helping to prevent them going into care.
"We have people who have had strokes and people with cancer and dementia.
"Those sorts of people have been referred to us because we have activities that keep them going so they don't need to go into nursing homes which would be more expensive for the council."
What next: Will be seeking alternative funding with long term aim of becoming self sufficient.
Merton Goan's Senior Citizens Association
About: Founded in 1995, funded by Merton Council since 2010.
Provide: Meeting place for up to 80 elderly people per month, keep fit and line dancing classes and lunch clubs.
Previous year's funding: £4,290
A spokesman for the club said: "A lot of us are widowers and it's a place where you can meet and get together.
"We look after people if they are sick and visit them in hospital to keep up their spirits.
"If people are not meeting friends they are going to get depressed and they will get sick in their home which will be more expensive."
What now: Anticipating having to cut services such as keep fit, line dancing and subsidising of meals.
Asian Elderly Group of Merton
About: Founded and funded since 1980.
Provide: Fitness classes, lectures and meals for up to 50 elderly people each week, three days a week.
Previous year's funding: £63,790
Dr Moid Siddiqi, chairman, said: "We prevent social isolation, alleviate mental health issues and provide a safe environment for our members for social integration, exercise and mental stimulation.
"All our members will be hurt very badly.
"They will have no place to go and will be isolated completely in their homes.
"There is no organisation like us in the borough where they can go."
What now: The group held an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss the group's future with its members.
Friends in St Helier
About: Founded in 1981, funded since 1982.
Provide: Hairdressing, chiropody, coffee mornings, lunch clubs, social activities and trips for around 70 elderly and disabled people a week around the St. Helier Estate.
Previous year's funding: £36,290
A spokesman for the group said: "The closeness of the relationship we have between workers, volunteers and members means we get to know them well and can spot problems that others might not see.
"We believe very strongly that what we do does really help to keep them living independently - but this is something that we cannot prove."
What now: Searching for alternative funding.
Merton Mind
About: Founded in 1978, funded by Merton Council for past 30 years.
Previous year's funding: £58,120
What now: Not available for comment at time of press.
Merton and Wandsworth Asylum Association Welcome
About: Founded in 1993 funded by Merton Council for the last five years.
Provide: Advice on social welfare, housing and schooling and hot meals for around 25 refugees, asylum seekers and migrants a week.
Previous year's funding: £45,000
Sheki Ba Habib, manager, said: "We provide a valuable service in the community and make such a difference.
"This is one of the reasons why we need to think where we can go from here as the service is needed here."
What now: Meeting with trustees over the coming weeks to discuss a way forward.

Microsoft Shouts Antitrust Over YouTube Snub

Dave Heiner
(Source: blogs.technet.com)
Microsoft said FTC isn't doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws
A Microsoft executive has called Google out on the fact that Windows Phone users cannot enjoy
a full YouTube experience
the way Android and iOS users can.
Dave Heiner, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Microsoft, wrote a post about the fact that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws. More specifically, Microsoft is upset that Windows Phone still cannot get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) are able.
"Despite government scrutiny, Google continues to block Microsoft from offering its customers proper access to YouTube," said Heiner. "This is an important issue because consumers value YouTube access on their phone: YouTube apps on the Android and Apple platforms were two of the most downloaded mobile applications in 2012, according to recent news reports. Yet Google still refuses to allow Windows Phone users to have the same access to YouTube that Android and Apple customers enjoy. Microsoft has continued to engage with YouTube personnel over the past two years to remedy this problem for consumers.
"As you might expect, it appears that YouTube itself would like all customers – on Windows Phone as on any other device – to have a great YouTube experience. But just last month we learned from YouTube that senior executives at Google told them not to enable a first-class YouTube experience on Windows Phones."
Heiner mentioned that the European Commission has addressed Google's business practices and is working toward a resolution that will keep Google in line, but the FTC, however, is taking it a little too easy on the search giant.
"Meanwhile, in the United States, news reports have stated that the FTC may close its investigation if Google merely makes certain "voluntary commitments" to reform its behavior," wrote Heiner. "Separately, news reports suggest that Google will finally agree to live up to its promises to make its standard essential patents available to all on reasonable terms. Unfortunately, this agreement appears to be less demanding than the pledge the U.S. Department of Justice received from Apple and Microsoft nearly a year ago."
Heiner complained that Microsoft had raised the issue about the full-featured YouTube app almost two years ago, and while the European Commission and the FTC are both investigating the matter, Microsoft wants the matter resolved once and for all.
Microsoft is just one tech company that is consistently targeted by the European Commission regarding antitrust laws.
It started in March 2004 when a European Commission high court found the company guilty of
using tactics to freeze out its competitors
in the media player and server software markets. It was fined
$690 million.
Back in 2008, the EU
fined Microsoft $1.4 billion
for refusing to comply during its legal feud with the EU between
July 2006 and October 2007
. Microsoft was charged
$3.83 million a day for each day of non-compliance
Moving forward to 2009, the EU went after Microsoft again for
tying Internet Explorer to Windows
, and by doing so, Microsoft is "stealing" a unique and unfair advantage.
The EU has been on top of Microsoft throughout 2012, with most problems stemming from
browser choices in Windows 7
and more
browser issues with Windows RT
In December, the Commission began investigating Microsoft's policy
changes in Bing and Hotmail
to make sure they comply with user privacy.

Richards outpitched by Seattle rookie Maurer
SEATTLE -- His name is Brandon Maurer. He grew up in Costa Mesa, Calif., wasn't drafted until the 23rd round in 2008, surprisingly earned a spot in the Mariners' rotation this spring -- and flat-out dominated the Angels on Thursday night.
Maurer, the 22-year-old right-hander who bypassed Triple-A and didn't even anchor his high school rotation, outpitched a very effective Garrett Richards at Safeco Field, notching 6 1/3 scoreless innings and handing the Angels a deflating, 6-0 defeat.
The Angels have now dropped back-to-back games, putting them at 8-13 and increasing their deficit of the first-place Rangers to 6 1/2 games in the American League West.
The man who put them there grew up 15 minutes from Anaheim, pitched at Angel Stadium while attending Orange Lutheran High School -- where he joined forces with 2011 first-overall pick Gerrit Cole (Pirates) -- and grew up rooting for the team he lulled to sleep in the opener of a four-game series.
"He's got great stuff; you can't take that away from him," Angels left fielder Mike Trout said. "He's 95 with a fastball, pretty hard with a slider, and he threw me a changeup and a sinker. So he's got four plus pitches. He worked in and out, kept us off balance and shut us down."
Richards limited the Mariners to two runs through the first six innings, but the Angels' offense hit into three double plays and couldn't produce anything off seven hits and a walk against Maurer.
Just when you think this star-studded lineup is beginning to find itself, it gives you a reason to believe otherwise.
"It's hit and miss right now," Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton said. "It's kind of like you feed off each other. Guys aren't going, and there's nothing really there. We get a guy on, then we expect to have some success there, and then we either ground into a double play or something shuts it down. I think the biggest thing is just focusing on what you need to do every at-bat for the situation, whatever the game asks you to do, and things will start to turn around."
Maurer, the organization's Most Improved Player in 2012 after a successful season in Double-A, came in 1-3 with a 7.45 ERA, but had given up only five runs (four earned) in 12 2/3 innings his last two times out. His best trait is dominating opposing right-handed batters with his four-pitch mix, and the Angels' lineup -- with all right-handed hitters except Hamilton in the middle -- suited him perfectly.
"Well-known hitters, but you've still got to go out there and just throw what you throw," Maurer said. "You can't really look too much at the name on the back."
Richards, filling in for injured ace Jered Weaver and coming off throwing seven shutout innings against the Tigers, gave up a homer to Mariners right fielder Carlos Peguero and an RBI single to third baseman Kyle Seager in the third, giving Seattle a 2-0 lead.
Still down two in the top of the seventh, the Angels put only their second runner in scoring position, prompting Mariners skipper Eric Wedge to go to his bullpen. But Carter Capps got Chris Iannetta to ground into an inning-ending double play. And in the next half-inning, after Richards intentionally walked Peguero to load the bases with one out, Jason Bay smacked a two-run single to left that increased the Mariners' lead to four.
Richards was ultimately charged with five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out five -- but the numbers didn't tell the whole story.
"I thought Garrett pitched much better than his line score is going to show," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He had a chance to put some hitters away, wasn't able to do it early, but as far as him getting after it and the movement on his pitches, he was terrific. It didn't work out tonight in some areas, but I thought he pitched a strong game and kept us in it."
