Secure Network Interfaces
Hardening a networked device is the process of securing the device's network interfaces. This includes eliminating unneeded or unused features and functions to prevent their abuse, locking down any interfaces that remain, and securing the data hosted by the device.
Lexmark printers and MFPs include a variety of mechanisms to facilitate the device hardening processes.
TCP Connection Filtering
Printers and MFPs can be configured to allow TCP/IP connections only from a specified list of TCP/IP addresses. This disallows all TCP connections from other addresses, which protects the device against unauthorized printing and configuration. TCP Connection Filtering is configured by populating the restricted server list field.
Port Filtering
The network ports through which printers and MFPs listen for or transmit network traffic are configurable, allowing a huge degree of control over the device's network activity. By filtering out traffic on specific network ports, protocols such as telnet, FTP, SNMP, HTTP and many others can be explicitly disallowed.
802.1x port authentication allows printers and MFPs to join wired and wireless networks by requiring the devices to authenticate prior to accessing the network. 802.1x port authentication can be used with the Wi-Fi Protected Access feature of an optional wireless print server to provide WPA Enterprise security support.
IPSec secures all network traffic to and from Lexmark devices with encryption and authentication, allowing data to be sent to printers and MFPs securely. IPSec allows scanned data to be transmitted over the network in an encrypted format. This can protect the contents of jobs that are scanned to any destination, including servers running Lexmark Document Distributor, e-mail, and network storage.
Secure SNTP
Lexmark devices support the use of Secure Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which is used for clock synchronization of various devices on the network. To support the main requirement for an SNTP implementation, Lexmark devices support an Authenticator and Authorization field within our SNTP configuration.
FAX/Network Separation
Lexmark offers a variety of MFP devices that provide both network capability and fax modem capability. In environments where network security is critical, the combination of these two features on a single device may be a concern. Lexmark designs its MFPs to operate in such a way that the device hardware and firmware keep these mechanisms separate, which prevents any direct interaction between the modem and network adapter. In addition, the modem can only accept image data associated with a fax transmission. Any other data, whether it is for remote access or network or firmware updates, is declared invalid and will cause the device to disconnect the telephone connection.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/7/2013 (1511 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I weigh more than the bathroom scale's limit. OK, about 350. I never eat much in front of my worried live-in fiancée. She's starving me. After we have a "healthy diet dinner," I am so hungry I get in the car on the excuse I'm going to the gym to wear off dinner calories. Then I drive straight to a drive-thru and buy two burgers with the works, fries, apple pies and and a large drink. The only person who's losing weight the last three months is her. I thought I was getting away with it until she followed me one night last week and caught me at the drive-thru. When they handed over my food she came right up in front of my car and shouted over the hood. "YOU PIG!" She says she's had it with me and won't sleep with me now. Help! I love her to death. What should I do? -- Scared "Pig". St. Vital
Dear Lonely: What is turning her off -- even though she loves you -- is signing on for a life where she nags, you keep sneak-eating, and she watches you killing yourself. That's a terrifying picture for her. Watching you like a mother doesn't keep the sexy feeling going, either. Take this relationship straight to a psychologist. A shrink will help you deal with the underlying problems that make you pig out every day. Then you finally have a chance at losing the dangerous poundage yourself, and being a healthy trustable husband and father who will last.
Dear Miss Loneyhearts: I like my morning bus driver way too much. I climb on the bus after dreaming about him all night. I try to find excuses to talk to him him at the front, but the newer buses are not designed for easy chatting with the driver. I know he likes me too -- he always gives me a special smile and big hello. Last night I asked him what he was doing after his shift and he said, "Going home to my wife and baby." I was crushed! I said, "But you don't wear a wedding ring and he said "Yes, because I am allergic to it." Now what? I need to take that bus and I am so hurt and disappointed. -- Devastated, St. James
Dear Devastated: Make it easy on yourself. Take a slightly earlier bus and avoid him for a while -- long enough to get over the worst part of this crush. Professional courtesy is nice on buses. Unfortunately, some people mistake friendly hellos for flirting.

GMA producer Mellen O'Keefe examines modern media by reliving her life in the world of broadcast journalism
October 18th, 2011 | SMWC
Imagine savoring Maya Angelou's homemade pineapple upside-down cake or filming Russell Simmons perfecting his warrior pose during a yoga class. Imagine dragging cameras after a headstrong female doctor, who flies solo to deliver medical supplies deep into the African bush. Envision venturing into the dense Australian forest for a misplaced camera battery (that costs about a much as a car) and, against the odds, miraculously finding it like a needle in a haystack.
While we jump into these adventures with our imaginations, broadcast journalist Mellen O'Keefe jumps into them with both feet–and always lands on solid ground. From Good Morning America to CBS News to The Travel Channel, O'Keefe has supervised the production of hundreds of news and entertainment shows. Her cultural palate has sampled a world of experiences as a writer, editor and producer for segments with Oxygen Media, Barbara Walters, ABC News and Maria Shriver.
"You have to seize the moment," O'Keefe said. "Like everyone, I work hard– television requires long, stressful hours, but it was, and is, endlessly interesting."
Now, almost 30 years since she first entered the gates of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, O'Keefe's adventures, from dealing with the shaky moods of media to her experiences around the world, will come alive. O'Keefe will share her perspectives and experiences in a one-on-one interview session, "An Evening with Mellen O'Keefe," on Nov. 1, 2011, at 7 p.m. The following day, she will discuss the media's effect on the education industry during the R.S.V.P. Speaker Series on Nov. 2, 2011, at noon.
"She has achieved incredible success," said Lori Henson, M.A., doctoral candidate and assistant professor of journalism at The Woods. "Our students can get a lot from her stories and really look up to her." Henson hopes the interview session will give O'Keefe an opportunity to "reflect on her journey and share the experiences that shaped her."
And, oh, does O'Keefe have some experiences to share.
After attending The Woods for a year, O'Keefe transferred back to the northeast, to Boston College, where she earned a dual bachelor's in history and philosophy. One of the most unusual things to hear a world-traveled broadcast journalist say is, "I've never taken a journalism class in my life." But for O'Keefe, life is all about moving forward and, when necessary, reinventing yourself along the way.
"My liberal arts education has paid off everyday," she said. "Job skills are all about thinking. Liberal arts is so important because it teaches you how to think."
After being wait-listed for law school, O'Keefe was unsure where her path led. She eventually left New York for California and became a secretary for the executive producer of PM/Evening Magazine, a news and entertainment show syndicated across the nation. It didn't take long before O'Keefe shifted from secretary to producer. "I just sort of fell into the job," she said.
O'Keefe couldn't have picked a more exciting job to fall into. The PM/Evening Magazine, a pioneer in modern day broadcast journalism, was the first show to use videotape, instead of film, so cameras could actually be used in the field. Well-known television personalities such as Matt Lauer and Leeza Gibbons clocked some time at the PM/Evening Magazine. "Being there with that cool, young staff, that's when it all clicked," O'Keefe said.
After about four years she left San Francisco and moved back to New York, landing a job as an associate producer at Good Morning America, where she has been in and out of ever since. From the arctic tundra to the Italian countryside, O'Keefe has traversed the globe, telling fascinating stories about our extraordinary world. "I want to leave people with something to chew on," O'Keefe said. "A news story, high profile or travel story, whatever it is, it needs to resonate."
Lately, O'Keefe's videos don't just resonate; they innovate. By producing instructional videos for Insideschools.org, an organization that provides information, support and instruction to students and their families about New York City schools, O'Keefe has been fearlessly exploring the effect of media on education. "We have serious–dire–education challenges in this country," O'Keefe said. "We all have to wrap our heads around how we can help." O'Keefe also supports Parents for Inclusive Education, an advocacy group that pushes for full-on inclusion of special needs students into the NYC public schools. "I need to use my voice to help students with special needs," said O'Keefe, whose daughter deals with a learning disability. "It works best if kids of all capabilities are together. They shouldn't be isolated."
Students and members of the community alike will be entertained and enlightened by O'Keefe's unique experiences and contemporary outlook on media. By examining the role of media in modern society, she will explore what it means to be responsible consumer of the news. "Consumers need to be wary and skeptical and get information from a variety of sources to hear many voices," she said.
O'Keefe has been broadcasting voices from all over the world, and now will express it all in her own voice at The Woods. Going wherever the adventure takes her, she has adapted to different cultures and climates, improvising when necessary. Her education in the liberal arts prepared her to excel in uncertain territory, both when she navigated the world as a recent college graduate and now, as a seasoned broadcast veteran.
"With liberal arts, you are able to understand the way the world works," she said. Understanding the world, which may seem so big to many of us, is just another day on the job for O'Keefe.
"An Evening with Mellen O'Keefe," held in the Woods Student Center in SMWC's Rooney Library on Nov. 1, 2011 at 7 p.m. is free and open to the public.
The R.S.V.P. Speaker Series, featuring O'Keefe on Nov. 2, 2011, is open to the public for $15, which includes lunch. To register please contact the Career Development Center at (812) 535-5188 or email . Seating is limited. Reservations are required.

In a few days, Christmas 2013 will just be a memory. It always surprises me when it's Dec. 26, and I sit back and think about all the chaos that led up to that sacred day.
We shop at a frantic pace. We bake and cook like there's no tomorrow. We make list after list after list. We scribble sentiments on Christmas cards faster than Santa's elves are working at the North Pole (I'm still trying to get mine out, so if you're expecting one from me, you may or may not get it. Sorry.). We throw wrapping paper and ribbons around like banshees, always one inch short of making that paper fit or running out of tape with just one gift to go. We attend enough church services, Christmas programs and other holiday events to last a lifetime. We pull out our cash, write check after check and offer plastic as a last resort. We've chased the cat and the dog away from the Christmas tree more times than we can count. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Complete and sheer nuttiness — for lack of a better word.
You've been there. I've been there. We've had Christmas up to our elbows, and then on Thursday ... it will all be finished. We'll take a sigh of relief, refuse to step on the scale, un-decorate the tree/house, and depending on one's level of guilt — we'll finish those last few Christmas cards, despite the fact they'll be late. Finally, we'll collapse into bed on the night of Dec. 25, and if we're lucky, we can stay awake to offer one last prayer of thanks for everything that we call Christmas — whether chaotic and hectic, or quiet and still. End of Christmas Story 2013.
So with Christmas just a few days away, what are you looking forward to most? Will it be Mom's pumpkin pie? Will it be the look on the youngsters' faces when they open that perfect gift? Perhaps it will be the time after Christmas dinner when the entire family sits around, reminisces and laughs about this and that? Or maybe it will be the holiday Christmas party with friends and/or co-workers?
We each have a Christmas event — call it a tradition — for which we all wait. Maybe there's a whole host of those moments; perhaps there's just one. Either way, they are the moments that make your holiday special, memorable, the ones that are inevitably near and dear to your heart.
Which is my whole point in this pre-Christmas column ...
While each of us celebrates this special day differently, I contend the most important thing we will take away from our Christmas celebration isn't the sweater that was beautifully wrapped or the ham that was tastier than ever. I won't be the goodies Santa left in everyone's stockings, and it won't be the gift card from your favorite store. While very nice, those things — in the end — won't really matter. Will they?
What will matter is one thing and one thing only: Memories.
Exhausted, you'll no doubt lay your head on the pillow Wednesday night with a host of new memories to add to all the ones from Christmases past. Some will be repeat memories from years gone by, while others will be brand new ones to treasure for a lifetime. Some will involve laughter; some might even involve a few tears. There will be hugs that leave a lasting impression as they wrap their arms around your souls, and the "I love you" you hear when everyone departs will seal the day for eternity.
Memories. May your day be filled with those memory-making moments that will last a lifetime and make all the nuttiness worthwhile.
Merry Christmas, my friends. May you enjoy the love of family and friends, and may the reason for the season be first and foremost in your mind.

President Obama may be accused of waffling over his agenda by liberals and Republicans alike, and may find himself with his back against the wall as the mid-term elections loom and been forced into today's press conference in order to defend himself against all that.
But in one respect at least he has demonstrated inarguable and admirable consistency: his clothes. Pretty much any time he has to make an important public appearance – and the September 10 event, only his second live press conference in 15 months, certainly qualifies – he appears in a dark blue suit (complete with that little 'yes-I'm-a-patriot-but-I'm-aware-of-others-and-don't-want-to-rub-it-in-your-face' American flag pin), white shirt and blue tie.

At Craftbar, tiny sweet summer strawberries are halved and paired with micro basil. They're gently piled into a bowl and topped with three precise scoops of Sichuan peppercorn sorbet ($8). You won't find any of that numbing sensation often associated with the peppercorn, but instead a light spice and lemony notes that carry through from the first spoonful to the finish. It's an ideal sweet for warm days, simple and cooling but intriguing enough to be deemed a destination dessert.

On January 31, 2012, 55 farmers and plaintiffs traveled to Manhattan to hear oral
arguments regarding Monsanto's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Organic Seed Growers
and Trade Association (OSGATA) vs. Monsanto.
At the heart of the lawsuit is the threat that family farmers face due to genetic trespass on their fields as a result of Monsanto's genetically modified (GMO) seed and the aggressive enforcement of the biotech seed and chemical giant's alleged patent rights.
In court, Federal Judge Naomi Buchwald declared that she would rule on the motion to dismiss the trial or move forward in the next 60 days or by March 31st. If you want to
support America's family farmers, sign the letter to say, "I Stand with Farmers vs. Monsanto!"
Please take a moment to tell America's farmers why you support them.
I support America's farmers in their pursuit of justice and their right to grow food without fear and intimidation. It's time for family farmers to have their day in court and put an end to this unjust harassment.

1041: Whites of Their Eyes
|Whites of Their Eyes
Title text: Don't fire until you see through the fragile facade to the human being within.
This comic is based on the famous command, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes", given by William Prescott, an American officer during the Revolutionary War. His men were running low on bullets, so Prescott commanded that they hold their fire until the enemy was close enough to guarantee a hit. In this comic, Prescott carries on after his initial command, adding romantic allegories. The title text expands on that, stating not to fire until you see the person's "soul" in their eyes.
[A Revolutionary War soldier gives orders to two others hunkered down behind a rock]
Lead soldier: Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes
Lead: And smell the scent of their hair.
[the two others getting an incredulous look on their faces]
Lead: And taste the sweetness of their lips.
[They begin taking fire from the opposition]
Lead: And feel the heat of their skin pressed against yours, trembling as you-
Soldier 2: Maybe we should just start shooting.
Lead: Right, yes.

Stars shine in shutout
Alberta Football Legaue team whips Stallions 55-0
Wednesday, Jun 18, 2014 06:00 am
The St. Albert Stars looked like contenders in Saturday�s shutout victory instead of pretenders in the previous weekend�s loss to the Alberta Football League champions.
The Stars lit up the Edmonton Stallions for seven touchdowns and 55 points at Riel Recreation Park after a disappointing 19-10 season debut against the Calgary Gators.
�This is a huge confidence boost for us going forward for the rest of the season,� said assistant captain Jon Burke. �Last week all of us were pretty depressed because of the loss and the stupid mistakes we made.�
It was a must-win game for last year�s AFL finalists after failing to live up to the pre-season hype in their home opener against the Gators.
�After losing that first game we needed to do something today and we did,� said linebacker/place kicker Korey Johnson. �We executed really well today. Offensively we moved the ball. Defensively we shut them down. We didn�t give the quarterback any time to pass.�
The shutout was especially satisfying for the Stars.
�Oh man, it�s the best confidence booster for us because it shows that not only was our defence good but our offence was good too,� said Burke, a six-foot-four and 320-pound bruiser at left guard.
The Stars pounded the ball as Neil Graham, Manny (Flash) Gordon and rugby standout Matt Jarvis combined for 310 yards and two TDs on 32 carries.
�Our O-line was pushing hard. We pushed them all the way down the field. We were operating pretty well,� Burke said.
Gordon�s 19-yard TD dash capped off a 54-yard drive to kick off the third quarter and Johnson�s conversion made it 31-0.
The elusive Gordon finished the game with 112 yards on 11 handoffs.
Late in the quarter Graham bolted 63 yards to the house and another Johnson conversion increased the lead to 48.
Graham gained a team-high 130 yards on 12 carries.
Quarterback Troy Pappas also scored three TDs on a pair of one-yard keepers and a six-yard bootleg as the Stars led by 21 with 10:54 left in the first half.
�Our O-line dominated them today and when you get the push from the O-line the holes open up and it�s demoralizing to their defence. It also keeps our defence off the field. It gives us a break and we can come back and shut them down,� Johnson said.
Game-breaker Tyler Wilson returned a punt 60 yards to pay dirt with 9:15 to go in the third quarter and in the opening minute of the fourth quarter the electrifying slotback pulled off a great catch in the endzone as backup quarterback Jeff Czernysz fired a 32-yard TD strike.
Czernysz completed three out of five passes for 76 yards.
The Stallions were destined for failure after Freddy Guay forced the visitors to fumble away the opening kick off at their 22 and Lam Luri recovered the ball.
The Stars would turn the ball over on downs but on their next possession the Stallions were flagged for pass interference in the endzone, setting the stage for Pappas� first TD on third and go from the one.
In the second quarter the Stallions coughed up the ball fielding a punt and Zach Wray pounced on it at the 13. A few plays later Johnson split the uprights from inside the 20.
After the Stallions gave up a safety midway through the third quarter the Stars moved the ball into field goal range, highlighted by Czernysz�s pass to Josh Gillespie at the 25 for the first down. The Stars settled for a single point as Johnson missed his second field goal attempt of the contest.
Johnson also recovered his own kick off after Graham�s major and the Stars capitalized with Wilson�s TD catch.
On defence Cam Ridgeway, Guillaume Petit and Aaron McComish registered sacks, Johnson and Keith Matchem led the team in tackles with five solo and two assists apiece and Jared Nytchay recovered a fumble against the Stallions, 37-0 losers in their season opener against the expansion Fort McMurray Monarchs.
�Everybody on our team was operating on all cylinders today. We had fun,� said Burke, 28, an AFL veteran with previous stops with the now-defunct Sherwood Park Renegades and Edmonton Garrison Army.
The Prince Albert high school product and former Saskatoon Hilltops junior believes this is the year for the Stars to shine after going 6-4 in their inaugural AFL campaign.
�We have a lot of talent and we�re going to have a good season,� said the general manager of the Mixx Party Bar on Whyte Avenue.
�Last year we came out and surprised a lot of people because they underestimated us so we went far. This season they are holding us a little higher but the team is even better than last year. Our offensive line is a lot bigger, a little stronger and a lot faster. We have some really good running backs. There is a lot more depth to the team as well.�
Compared to last year, when the Stars lost twice to the undefeated Gators by scores of 17-12 in the last game before the playoffs and 41-16 in the AFL final, the team �looks scary� according to Johnson.
�Athletically we�re above last year. The guys are in shape. They�re buying in this year and we�re starting to gel as a team,� said the former outstanding defensive player in the Prairie Football Conference and all-Canadian linebacker with the Edmonton Huskies.
The Archbishop Jordan Scots� alumnus hooked up with the Stars last year and was impressed with the AFL�s competitiveness.
�You�re combining all the best athletes from junior, university and pro. Of course you don�t have as much commitment because you�re only practicing twice a week but athletically-wise it�s on par if not higher than junior,� said Johnson, 26, a power engineer at Shell.
The Stars huddle up Saturday in Calgary against the Wolfpack at 7 p.m. The Wolfpack are 1-1 after defeating the Monarchs 39-19 last weekend.

def mob_stats(mob):
So I've made 3 dictionaries that hold some basic stats for mobs in the game, and I made a function to display the stats.
My thinking was that if you put the dictionary name into the mob_stats() function it would then spit out: dictionary name, and Name value.
Unfortunately I keep getting:
- Code: Select all
>>> mob_stats('creature2')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:/Users/PC/Documents/python/python stuffs/test page.py", line 7, in mob_stats
TypeError: string indices must be integers
What I am really confused about is that inside the python shell if i type:
- Code: Select all
>>> mob = creature2
>>> mob['Name']
It works just fine. How come it seems to forget what's going on inside the function?
Am I at least on the right track?

The Romanian Dragon Sanctuary is the largest preservation area set aside for the protection and study of dragons. Located in Romania, it was established by Harvey Ridgebit sometime before his death in 1973.
During the 1990s, Charles Weasley, after graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, travelled to Romania to work and further study dragons at this sanctuary, which is the largest of its kind in the world. Sometime in between April and June 1992, Charlie took the Norwegian Ridgeback Norbert (later renamed Norberta) to the sanctuary as a favour to Ron and Rubeus Hagrid, who was keeping the dragon illegally in his hut in the grounds of Hogwarts. In 1994, the Sanctuary supplied four dragons for use in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament.

BOSSES at a shopping centre are carrying out a review into its rooftop car park safety following the death of teenager.
Lauren Johnson, 17, from Oswaldtwistle, is thought to have committed suicide after falling between 80ft and 100ft from the Accrington Arndale.
Michael Singleton, coroner for Blackburn, Hynburn and the Ribble, Valley, called on bosses at the shopping centre to consider putting up railings to prevent future deaths at a hearing before the inquest into Lauren's death.
David Berman, director of Jesta Capital Corporation, on behalf of the Accrington Arndale, said: "We have temporarily closed all access to the top deck of the car park, at least until such time as we have concluded a full review of safety in the car park.
"This review will include not only the top deck but also the lower level openings.
"A full risk assessment by an independent third party is being carried out and we are looking at closing off all the openings."
He added that the Arndale had offered to work with and make premises available to Lauren's Place, a charity set up in Lauren's memory, and that the centre will continue to work with Samaritans on building awareness and the handling of potential suicides.

Brett, Welcome to the board. Congratulations on the Weber. That's probably the most versatile grill designs ever made. Have you noticed that the majority of the illustrations in Steven's books are that grill? (OK, the Weber performer but close enough) There's a good reason for that.
I would encourage you to try real wood chunks in the near future. You can buy it in bags like charcoal, but it wasn't long before I bought a truckload of oak logs and started making my own chunks with my chainsaw. This is more cost effective in the long run and man is it good.
Do you have a chimney starter yet. Get at least one. There are lots of accessories out there. I've found 2 lately that I think are worth their weight in gold. I won't be putting these on a yard sale anytime soon... The Jaccard meat Tenderizer and the Polder Dual Zone Thermometer, along with Steven's book and this message board have changed my life.
Can I get an Amen?

AN ex-care home worker who carried out a £30,000 string of terrifying knifepoint raids at travel agencies after he was sacked has been jailed for eight years.
Jason Thompson, 42, struck six times at small premises in Accrington and West Yorkshire over eight months.
He forced young female staff into back offices, demanding they open the safes.
Thompson, who had never been in trouble before and did not wear a disguise, was arrested after police traced his getaway car, his old Ford Mondeo which had been caught on CCTV.
Burnley Crown Court heard how Thompson, who used a vegetable peeler to threaten his victims, claimed he was in debt to loan sharks and was under pressure to pay up.
He had broken down and sobbed when questioned by police, saying he had got depressed and was desperate for cash.
The defendant, of Park Road, Barnoldswick, had admitted six counts of robbery and six of having a bladed article.
Prosecutor Emma Kehoe said the robberies took place between July 2013 and February this year.
The first was at Althams Travel Services, Blackburn Road, Accrington, last July. Thompson threatened four staff members and made off with £8,032.
On August 16, the defendant targeted Althams, Church Street, Littleborough, where two young women were working and he escaped with £7, 500.
Mrs Kehoe said last October 2, Thompson went into Thomson travel agents, Kirkgate, Otley, and got away with £800 in Australian dollars, £5,000 in Czech currency, Tunisian money and some euros. Last November 14, he went into Co-op Travel in Horsforth, Leeds and one female worker was forced into a toilet cubicle while another was told to open the safe. He stole £4,500 in cash and travellers cheques.
On January 8, Thompson went to Althams in Pudsey and stole £4,000. The prosecutor said the final offence was at Thomson travel agents, Accrington, on February 18. The defendant took £3,800 from the till.
Mrs Kehoe said: "He told officers he would not have hurt any of the females if they had challenged him."
Richard Prew, defending, said Thompson had been dismissed from his job at a care home. He said: "Rather than confessing all to his partner and family, he chose a rather more darker path.
"He now fully accepts his actions would have frightened the staff to death. He wishes to apologise profusely."
Sentencing, Judge Beverley Lunt told him: "It was obviously very traumatic for each of these victims."

Cards bullpen continues struggles vs. Bucs
Westbrook goes six scoreless, but he leaves with no-decision
ST. LOUIS -- Ten days ago, A.J. Burnett threw 96 pitches before the Cardinals could muster a hit -- which would end up as their only one of the night. Burnett was not all that vulnerable Saturday either, but the Cardinals broke through against him twice, setting themselves up for a fifth straight victory.
And then the bullpen got involved.
In a month where the club has won 14 games, delivered routinely with runners in scoring position and ridden the strength of its starting pitching, the Cardinals' bullpen remains especially volatile. It served up four seventh-inning runs Saturday, costing Jake Westbrook his 100th career win and tipping the outcome, 5-3, in favor of Pittsburgh.
"It stinks for Jake," said Joe Kelly, who got the blown save and loss. "He pitched his butt off, and we come in and blow his win. He's been battling the whole season, [has] great numbers and he's 1-1. That's the most frustrating part."
Indeed, the Cardinals are now 1-3 in Westbrook's four starts, even though the righty has given up an earned run in only one of those outings. Pitching in front of 40,909 fans on a soggy day at Busch Stadium, Westbrook delivered six scoreless innings against a club that had been a perennial pest to him.
After letting Westbrook hit the 100-pitch mark in each of his other April starts, manager Mike Matheny opted to end Westbrook's afternoon at 91 pitches Saturday. That decision, Matheny said afterward, was made for a few reasons. Matheny believed Westbrook had exerted himself getting to that point, and Matheny did not like the matchup against Pedro Alvarez, who was to lead off the seventh.
Alvarez is 12-for-21 lifetime against Westbrook.
And so Matheny turned to Kelly, whose success against the Nationals earlier in the week earned him the chance to try and fill the Cardinals' seventh-inning void. Saturday's lead lasted five pitches under his watch. An Alvarez single and Russell Martin home run evened the game at 2.
"[I] took one fastball, to see what [he was] doing, then was anticipating a strike somewhere in the zone," Martin said. "My approach was to stay inside the ball and take my best swing, and if he left the pitch where he didn't want to, it'll just take off."
Two of the next three batters reached, too, which ended Kelly's day. Trevor Rosenthal would hardly fare better. He hit Jose Tabata with a 96-mph fastball before walking Andrew McCutchen on a 3-2 pitch to force in the go-ahead run.
"I was really trying to get a groundball there and get out of the inning," Rosenthal said. "He's a very good hitter, and he did a good job of recognizing that it was down in the zone."
A groundout scored another, ending an at-bat that was interrupted when Matheny asked the grounds crew to spread fresh dirt on a wet mound. Though Rosenthal did not relay that he was having any troubling planting his foot, Matheny made the call after seeing Rosenthal slip.
"I sent [catcher] Yadi [Molina] out to check, and he said he wasn't slipping at all," Matheny said. "But apparently, he was. That's a situation we've got to just stop there and make something happen."
"I was just trying to focus on making pitches and my approach for the guys I was facing in that situation," Rosenthal said. "I really didn't notice that it was affecting me. The ball just wasn't going where I wanted it to."
The Pirates then pushed across an insurance run off Marc Rzepczynski in the eighth.
Pittsburgh's bullpen, which has held opponents to a National League-best .195 batting average, would not cough up its lead. As for St. Louis' relievers, their collective ERA now sits at an NL-worst 5.37. Of the 13 home runs the Cardinals have given up, eight have come against the 'pen.
Five of the relievers have individual ERAs above 4.00, and of the Cardinals' nine losses, five have now come in games where they entered the seventh tied or holding a lead. The Cardinals have been outscored, 39-27, from the seventh inning forward.
"There have been quite a few opportunities we've had late in the game to finish something off, and you start counting those up, and those are a significant amount of wins," Matheny said. "It seems to go in cycles, and right now it just seems to be a tough one on our 'pen. We have to figure it out."
The bullpen's meltdown trumped another strong start from Westbrook, who scattered six singles in his outing. He let the Pirates advance a runner into scoring position just once. It was a personal victory of sorts for Westbrook, who has had trouble facing the Pirates throughout his career. He entered the day 1-7 with a 5.28 ERA in 13 previous appearances.
He also outdueled Burnett, Pittsburgh's ace, in the process.
"I felt like I was throwing the ball pretty well," Westbrook said. "It's usually always a grind when I'm facing those guys, though it didn't feel as bad as it has been in the past."
After taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Cardinals last week, Burnett gave up hits to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran to start the first inning Saturday. Carpenter came home when Matt Holliday grounded into a double play, ensuring that he has scored at least once in all 13 games in which he has hit safely.
Carpenter would later be pinch-hit for in the ninth after feeling some tightness in his left side.
The Cardinals stretched their lead to two with consecutive two-out hits by Jon Jay and Pete Kozma in the sixth. But a team that has thrived when batting with runners in scoring position this month left several opportunities untapped. St. Louis went 2-for-12 in such spots and twice failed to push a runner home from third with fewer than two outs.
As the potential tying run, Holliday grounded out to end the three-hour, 42-minute game.

To Die For
This is a 4-star thriller by Gus Van Sant! Theres only 3 films with Nicole Kidman in them that I can stomach. This is number two. She does an outstanding job playing a wickedly ambition small town woman with ambitions of newscaster fame. She seduces a naive teenager, Joaquin Pheonix, who becomes entangled in her web of deceit and murder. Naughty thriller/ comedy.

The many faces of Khan are waiting to greet whoever visits Annie Shapiro. She made an epic, genetically superior wreath featuring Khan from the Wrath of Khan of course, and I don't have the words. It's ridiculously creative. I hope someone takes this idea and makes one for the modern version of the character so that it's full of Benedict Cumberbatch. If you have printed images, you could probably use Mod Podge to decoupage the pictures onto a wood or plastic wreath.

What's Hot
These pages can usually be found in the middle or at the very end of the magazine issue.
As an editorial LOVER, I admit to not usually paying as much close attention these pages featuring the latest trends and accessories - I usually get this information straight from the runway shows and reviews.
I don't even know what to call these pages but I have recently found an admiration for them, and during this holiday vacation I have just been scanning these pages and choosing what I wish I could buy!

Phoenix-based Sprouts is a specialty retailer of natural and organic foods, operating 163 stores in eight states. Of the 19 openings planned for 2013, 15 have been completed, and about 20 are planned for 2014, the company said in its prospectus. For the 13 weeks ended March 31, net income was $ 18.1 million, on net sales of almost $400 million, up from net income of $9.5 million for the same period the year before, on $375.7 million in sales. Sprouts' private equity backers, Apollo Global Management ( APO) and San Diego-based Silver Canyon Group, did not sell their stakes in the IPO. With the dilutive effects of the offering, Apollo's stake went from 51.8% to 45.4%, while Silver Canyon's stake, which it holds via its KMCP Grocery Investors LLC vehicle, went from 7% to 6.2%. At the IPO price, Apollo's stake of about 65.2 million shares is worth about $1.17 billion. That, added to the $262.2 million dividend the private equity company took out in April, means Apollo thus far has made an unrealized return of about 6.8 times its original $210 million equity investment in February 2011. Silver Canyon's stake of 8.8 million shares in Sprouts is worth $159.1 million at the IPO price. That, added to the $55 million Sprouts paid to acquire Sunflower and the $19.7 million April dividend, brings the firm's unrealized gain to about 7.8 times the $30 million investment the firm made when it acquired Sunflower in December 2007. Sprouts itself sold about 17.7 million shares in its IPO, while shareholders unloaded nearly 800,000 shares. Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, ( GS) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch ( BAC) acted as joint bookrunners on the deal.

Six men charged in springtime drug busts
Saturday, Jul 12, 2014 06:00 am
Six alleged drug dealers have been arrested and charged by St. Albert RCMP since March.
The total amount of drugs seized in all four investigations is equal to 5,000 individual marijuana joints, 2,800 �hits� of cocaine and approximately 1,400 �hits� of methamphetamine.
�The RCMP's overriding goal is to ensure safe homes and safe communities for Canadians,� said Inspector Kevin Murray, the St. Albert detachment commander, in a release.
�We believe that marijuana use and the criminality that surrounds it harms individuals and communities.�
Following an investigation into trafficking marijuana on March 26, RCMP seized 17 grams of marijuana, $1,500 cash (believed to be proceeds of criminal activity) and a replica firearm hand gun.
St. Albert resident Jeydon Randall Stuart, 19, was charged with: possession of a narcotic, possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking a narcotic, possessing property obtained by crime and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Stuart made his court appearance in St. Albert Provincial Court on Monday.
On April 1, RCMP conducted a search warrant on a northwest Edmonton residence as part of an investigation for trafficking marijuana. They seized approximately five-and-a-half pounds of marijuana and $21,000 cash, believed to be proceeds of criminal activity.
Jason Richard Kukler, 31, of Edmonton, and Frederick Rodger Kukler, 36, of British Columbia were both charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a narcotic and possession of property obtained by crime.
Jason pleaded not guilty and a trial date is set for Nov. 24 in St. Albert court.
Frederick failed to appear for his court date and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The RCMP�s third investigation took place on May 30 at an Edmonton residence with the assistance of the RCMP canine unit.
They seized approximately five ounces of cocaine powder and crack cocaine and $18,000 in cash.
Edmonton resident Jean Leon Musoni, 25, and Christopher Karuranga, 26, of Regina, Sask. were both arrested.
They face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking a narcotic, possessing property obtained by crime and several breaches of recognizance related to previous charges from Edmonton and Regina.
Musoni is also charged with obstructing a peace officer.
They were both released on a substantial cash bail and will be appearing in St. Albert court on July 28.
The drug section�s fourth investigation took place on June 6. With the assistance of a police dog, it is alleged that more than five ounces of cocaine and crack cocaine were seized along with more than five ounces of methamphetamine, a quantity of oxycontin and another designer drug that has yet to be officially identified. They also found $310 in cash and a container of pepper spray.
St. Albert resident Shane Douglas Fry, 26, was charged with: possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing property obtained by crime, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and driving while unauthorized.
Fry was released on bail and appeared in St. Albert court on Monday.

Airedale Hospital bosses have said premises that are not owned by the hospital need to be "fit for purpose" when they are used for Airedale patient appointments.
At their latest board meeting, managers responded to concerns raised by one patient who attended an appointment with a dietician.
Director of nursing Rob Dearden told colleagues that the patient had said she was happy with the clinical side of her experience, but was uncomfortable at the lack of reception staff in what was a relatively isolated location.
Mr Dearden said that this issue had since been resolved, with an agreement to extend the hours of reception cover.
He added improvements had been made at other non-Airedale Hospital sites, where patients had reported problems such as a lack of parking and poorly laid-out reception areas.
Commenting on Ilkley's Coronation Hospital, which is one of these locations, non-executive director David Adam said: "The staff there are outstanding, but they are not helped by the layout of the building.
"If we're using buildings we have no control over, and it's a key part of our strategy to use these satellite sites, we do need these properties to be fit for patient care."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man charged in the stabbing death of a Chicago Bears fan at an Irish pub at the Jacksonville Landing early Sunday morning "calmly and cold-bloodedly cut the victim's throat," then walked away, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police said 27-year-old Matthew Hinson (pictured below) was with his wife at Fionn MacCool's Irish Restaurant and Pub when he saw his wife talking with 42-year-old William Pettry, of Lake Vella, Ill., and his friend.
"At this point, we don't know what words were exchanged because it was just the victim and the suspect sitting on a bench inside the bar, and a witness just said that he stood up, cut him and then basically just walked out," JSO Lt. Rob Schoonover said.
Police said Hinson placed a bloody knife in his pocket, calmly walked out and drove his truck by himself out of the parking lot. Officers caught him a few blocks away. They said he resisted arrest, which is why he has abrasions on his face in his mug shot. Hinson was eventually taken into custody.
Investigators said he admitted to the stabbing using a pocket knife, but said he didn't remember why he did it.
Hinson is being held in the Duval County jail on a murder charge and was ordered held without bail.
Police said Pettry, a husband and father of three, was in town to attend Sunday's Jaguars-Bears game.
"He was so happy, he posted on Facebook, 'I'm off to see the Bears play,'" said Lillie Asbury, Pettry's aunt.
Asbury said she's still shocked after hearing her nephew was killed. On her table sit pictures of Pettry smiling alongside his wife, his mother and his sister. Asbury said Pettry never caused any trouble.
Pettry's wife, Karen Pettry, posted her husband's photo (left) and a message on her Facebook page. She wrote, in part: "I'm so numb and I still cannot believe it is true. [My husband] was taken from his family way too early. Some idiot has taken his life. I'm so mad, just don't understand why, very lost right now. Please hug the ones you love because you never know if tomorrow you will have that chance."
Channel 4's Vic Micolucci spoke with a witness, who asked to remain unidentified, and said she was at the bar early Sunday morning when Pettry was killed. She said her friends, who are nurses, stepped in to help, but were not able to help him in time.
"I didn't think he was going to make it by the way he looked," the witness said. "A person who was standing next to the victim said that he just turned around and all of the sudden there was just blood gushing from the victim's neck. So it seems like people didn't understand what was going on. It was really quick."
No one answered the door at Hinson's home Monday. His neighbors said they were shocked to see him on TV charged with murder.
"Stand up guy, veteran, served in the Navy just like I did, so we had a little bit of common ground," neighbor William Walker said. "I'm completely shocked."
"He was easy going, yeah," neighbor Dawn Alderson added. "He was never short with me, never rude, kind, always waved hi on his way to work."
According to police and Hinson's Facebook page, he worked as a chef at the Hyatt Hotel, where many Bears fans stayed this weekend.
This is the second incident in just a few months that began at the Landing. Over the summer, a man sustained injuries that caused his death in a parking lot after a fight ensued outside of Maverick's bar.
This latest death has been emotionally exhausting for employees at Fionn MacCool's, where the manager who was working Saturday night said members of his staff have asked for counseling.
"We're a family restaurant," said Fionn MacCool's Manager Paul Glaser. "Things like this don't happen to us, it's so unreal."
Glaser said the recent crime is very unusual and despite the recent rash of violence downtown, Glaser thinks the Landing is a safe place at night.
"It's been a super safe location," said Glaser. "The landing to me has been one of safest places in this city. I managed at the beach for 7 years, saw a lot of craziness all over the beach."
Jasmine Hicks is a waitress at the Landing, and when she gets off work at night she's escorted to her car by a police officer, but she said not everyone has that luxury.
"Do you think in general this is a safe place to be?" Channel 4 asked.
"No, depending on what age range, most people wouldn't know how to handle themselves and quickly go for violence," said Hicks.

In an effort to bring more local control to the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, San Diego County supervisors are nearing a deal to jointly operate the nearly 80-year-old entertainment venue.
Next Tuesday, fairground officials and county supervisors plan to discuss creation of a "joint powers authority" that would oversee day-to-day and long-term operations of the 370-acre site.
"I believe it will be a huge leap forward in governance of our operations," said fair board president Adam Day. "It will increase local input and control, and it will also bring greater transparency to our board and operations."
County and fair officials have been in talks for several months, culminating in Tuesday's scheduled presentation before the Board of Supervisors. Day suggested that if supervisors give the OK, the agreement could be in place in a matter of a few weeks.
Under the proposal, the 22nd Agricultural District's nine-member board governing the fairgrounds would grow to 14 members, with the five county supervisors able to appoint themselves or a representative to the expanded panel.
While cities such as Del Mar and Solana Beach have been lobbying to also have a seat at the table, that doesn't appear to be in the cards.
Momentum for a new style of fairgrounds oversight gained momentum following a 2009 proposal from then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger, who suggested that the state might be willing to sell the fairgrounds to a local entity.
The gubernatorial-appointed board of the agricultural district opposed an ensuing $120 million purchase offer from the city of Del Mar.
But the board and other local officials also said they supported more regional oversight of the fairgrounds. Proponents of local control have complained that they wield little influence over whom the governor appoints to the board. They said the state chief executive sometimes selects members with little knowledge of fairground activities and their impact on the surrounding community.
If you go
When: Opens at 4 p.m. Friday. Continues 11 a.m. weekdays; 10 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays; through July 4. Closed Mondays (except July 4) and the first two Tuesdays.
Where: Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar
Cost: $9 to 16; free for kids ages 5 and younger. Parking is $10 for cars or motorcycles and $20 for RVs or oversize vehicles
Phone: (858) 755-1161 or (858) 793-5555 (24-hour recorded information)
Online: sdfair.com
MORE: San Diego County Fair 2016
A joint powers authority would not require approval by the Legislature, and the deal is viewed favorably by Gov. Jerry Brown's administration, according to Day.
North County Supervisor Dave Roberts, whose District 3 includes the fairgrounds, said additional oversight under the county imprint would benefit all.
"This piece of property is a critical jewel in the county, and anything that gives us more local control is a step in the right direction," he said.
Roberts, who spent eight years on the Solana Beach City Council, said the joint powers authority could be the first step in changing fairgrounds governance. He said adding city representatives to the board, either through appointment by the supervisors or securing other approval for them to have a seat on the panel, may also be beneficial.
"Let's see what people have to say next week, but this is definitely a step in the right direction, Roberts said.
Another advantage, Day and Roberts said, is that the new board would be subject to state open meeting requirements.
According to the proposal, the fair's unionized and non-unionized employees would have the option of remaining as state workers or shifting to the joint powers authority umbrella.
In addition to the annual San Diego County Fair, the site hosts the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and its horse-racing season. It also serves as the venue from more 300 other events each year, attracting millions to the seaside setting and adding more than $450 million a year to the local economy.
The racetrack would still be overseen by the California Race Track Leasing Commission and the Del Mar Race Track Authority.

Wildcats Stumble Against Mountaineers
Wildcats Stumble Against Mountaineers
Jan. 12, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior Brittany Chambers posted her 25th career game with 20 points on Saturday afternoon, but it was not enough as K-State fell to West Virginia, 66-52 at Bramlage Coliseum. Chambers moved up to sixth in career scoring at K-State during the game, which marked the first meeting in the series between the schools.
The Wildcats (10-6, 1-3 Big 12) held the lead through most of the contest but the Mountaineers (10-5, 2-2) chipped away at the lead down the stretch of the first half and then grabbed the lead for good at 40-39 with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game. From there, it was all West Virginia as the new members of the Big 12 used double-digit scoring efforts from Christal Caldwell and Ayana Dunning to claim the road win.
Caldwell tallied 19 points and was 7-of-19 shooting, including a perfect 4-of-4 at the free-throw line. Dunning posted 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Caldwell also was aggressive on the glass for the Mountaineers pulling down nine rebounds to lead the way.
In addition to her 20 points, Chambers led K-State in rebounding with six boards and dished out a game-high five assists. With her six rebounds, Chambers moved into 11th on the K-State career list with 702.
Joining Chambers in double figures were freshman Bri Craig and sophomore Haley Texada. Craig reached double digits in scoring for the third straight game with 12 points, while Texada added 10.
The Wildcats were out-rebounded by a large margin 41-26, which resulted in 15 second chance points for the Mountaineers and 11 on the break. K-State was able to muster up only five second chance points and four fast break points.
Both teams played strong defense forcing a number of turnovers, but the rebounding and West Virginia's 13-of-15 at the free-throw proved to be the difference in the game.
K-State will stay at home for the Wildcats' next contest when they will welcome No. 1 Baylor to Bramlage Coliseum on Wednesday with a 7 p.m., tip. The game can be available on FOX Sports Midwest and is also available on the K-State Sports Network.
Fans can take in Wednesday's game in person as part of a "Wildcat Weekday 4 Pack." For just $30, fans will receive four general admission tickets and four concession vouchers valid for a hot dog, chips and a drink. To purchase tickets, contact the K-State Athletic Ticket Office at (800) 221-CATS, visit www.kstatesports.com/tickets or stop by the ticket office in Bramlage Coliseum.

I'm getting ready to do a few benchmarks for a project I'm working on (PHPRouter). I mainly use it for RESTful APIs. I don't expect any crazy results, it will obviously have a little less overhead than a full fledged framework, but I want to put it up against ZF1, ZF2, CI and a few others. I'd like suggestions on other frameworks I should include and also, more importantly, what tool should I use to create these benchmarks? I know Apache has a benchmarking tool that I will be looking in to, should I use this (seems like the default)? I'm mainly after page loads per second.
There's an app for t—err, I mean, a Symfony Component for that.
But if instead you're just interested in the final response time, then yes, the Apache Benchmark (ab) tool is perfectly good for that. Or if you want another choice to consider, then siege is a good tool also.
But be careful to compare apples with apples. Is your PHPRouter supposed to be a full-stack framework? If not, then it probably doesn't make much sense to compare it against other full-stack frameworks. It may be more useful to compare against just the router component of those frameworks.
It isn't, however I still want to show common frameworks vs PHPRouter vs no routing.
I am not an expert on this topic, but there's one tiny advice I'd like to make, you better actually build a simple but useful application(maybe an e-commerce site) to run the benchmark tests. Some benchmarking articles use simple 'hello world' as the source for benchmarking test but the problem is, why do you even need PHP at all if all your program does is to print hello world on the screen(I can achieve this with HTML lol)? Some go a little bit further by executing several if conditions, loops or creating objects, even so they may be biased since in real applications you do not just create like say a loop that executes 1000 times that accomplish nothing. To produce a reasonable benchmarking result, you need to be a bit more realistic but creative.
Thanks for your input Hall of Famer. I will actually be using a "hello world" in json. The idea of this is to show the overhead difference between a full framework vs just the router for when you are creating something as simple as a RESTful api. Benchmarking how many requests you can complete in a period of x seconds with a hello world accomplishes quite a lot, actually. It is the easiest way to determine the true overhead of the framework / language. Many do the same (and rightfully so) when comparing web services across languages (go, python, node.js) because certain libraries such as an html or db package might be causing slow downs which can be addressed separately.
To be continued...
What you need to remember is that tools like "ab" and "siege" only give a static overview of the possible load.
The numbers you get from using them normally does not propagate to real world scenarios.
In your case I don't think this matters, since you just want to "showcase" results vs. other frameworks, so its purely statistic and not for instance configuration.
Though, for anyone that want to test their new application/website, I would highly recommend one of the services which offer real traffic during the test (most just spawn small instances and then use test cases to do specific things on your system). As this will give you much more valuable information on how much your system can handle at the current server/cluster configuration.
I use Xdebug to create files for Wincachegrind to analyze those files and use it mainly to check for bottlenecks in my applications.
You might want to add Slim & Silex in the frameworks you compare against - these 2 are micro frameworks for making very lightweight apps & APIs - the real competition for what you're making rather than full stack frameworks like ZF2, Symfony etc. Also, throw in Phalcon in the pot as well, would be interesting to see if you can beat it.
Ah nice. I had stumbled across Slim but wasn't sure of how widely it was used.
I've looked into Slim a bit (haven't made any app/API in it yet), haven't looked into Silex. Not sure if there are any other micro frameworks in PHP.

Bats, bullpen stumble against Reds
McAllister solid, allowing three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings
CINCINNATI -- It is far too soon to say that the wheels have fallen off the Indians' season. There do seem to be a few loose bolts in need of attention.
On Tuesday night, Cleveland suffered another late-game unraveling and took an 8-2 Interleague loss at the hands of the Reds at Great American Ball Park. The Tribe's I-71 rivals claimed both games in this two-game series, which will be followed by a two-game encore in Cleveland.
The defeat was Cleveland's fifth in a row, matching the team's longest losing streak of the season.
"No one is going to win every single game out there," Indians starter Zach McAllister said. "Obviously, everyone is out there trying to win games and doing their part to help the team out. We're in a little funk right now."
McAllister pitched into the sixth inning, playing damage control as he tried to put his team in position to rally. The comeback against Reds right-hander Mat Latos never came and the Tribe's bullpen continued its recent trend of swinging momentum in the wrong direction.
Five late runs by the Reds turned a close game into a blowout, sending the Indians to a third consecutive series loss for the first time this season. The Tribe had won 18 games in a 22-game stretch before its recent eight-game skid, which includes seven losses.
It might feel similar to the collapses of the past two seasons, but the Indians do not agree.
"Not at all. This is a completely different team from last year," McAllister said. "There's a completely different attitude. This is an exciting team. We've lost some and it's been a rough stretch, but it's exciting right now. I think everybody out there is encouraged with the way we're playing."
McAllister was saddled with a loss after limiting Cincinnati to three runs over 5 1/3 innings. Dating back to last season, the right-hander has turned in 12 consecutive starts consisting of at least five innings and three earned runs or fewer allowed. That is the longest such run for a Cleveland pitcher since Bud Black went 16 straight between Aug. 23, 1989-May 18, 1990.
His rare feat aside, McAllister could not guide the Indians to victory.
All three of the Reds' runs off McAllister came in the first inning, when former Indian Shin-Soo Choo led off with a ground-rule double. Slugger Joey Votto later brought Choo home with a run-scoring single and Reds left fielder Xavier Paul chipped in a two-run single that pushed Cleveland behind, 3-0.
"It was a battle for him," Indians manager Terry Francona said of McAllister. "He was struggling with his fastball command and he pitched behind in the count more than he has. The first inning was a tough inning. Saying that, he made a 2-0 pitch -- a really good pitch -- that got fought off [by Paul] for that base hit that drove in two.
"After that, [McAllister] dodged traffic for every inning it seemed like. But he never gave in and he competed his [butt] off and gave us a chance."
McAllister ended the evening with 10 hits allowed, but he was able to pry himself from a handful of jams.
One such situation came in the fifth, when Votto led off with a base hit before stealing second. McAllister quickly slipped into a 2-0 count to Brandon Phillips, who was then hit by a pitch. If it was retaliation for Monday's ninth-inning incident involving Reds closer Aroldis Chapman and Nick Swisher, the umpires looked the other way. No warnings were issued and the players held their ground.
In the ninth inning on Monday, Chapman fired a 100-mph fastball near Swisher's head, raising a few eyebrows and blood pressures in the process.
McAllister said hitting Phillips with a pitch was not payback.
"I was trying to go in," said McAllister, who had six strikeouts and one walk. "I missed on one earlier going in there and I kind of went a little too far in that time."
McAllister escaped the fifth-inning jam unscathed. Center fielder Michael Bourn made a sliding catch on a drive from Jay Bruce and right fielder Drew Stubbs made a strong running grab to rob Devin Mesoraco of extra bases. Between those outs, Votto was picked off second base by catcher Carlos Santana after a pitch in the dirt.
The Indians were unable to take advantage against Latos, who picked up the win after allowing one run on five hits with seven strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. Cleveland's lone run off Latos came in the fifth, when Stubbs singled, stole second base and crossed the plate on a single from Bourn.
"He kind of came as advertised," Francona said of Latos, who improved to 5-0 on the year.
The Reds blew the game open with a five-run burst against the Indians' depleted bullpen between the seventh and eighth innings. Four of those runs came in the seventh and were charged to reliever Bryan Shaw, marking the fourth time in the past five games that the Tribe's bullpen surrendered a four-spot in the seventh inning or later.
"I'm just glad we added on some runs in the late innings," Reds manager Dusty Baker said, "because it was getting a little hairy there for a few minutes. It was a 3-1 score, but all the guys they have that can reach the fences in this ballpark, you're always a little nervous."
A throwing error by Santana on a swinging bunt off the bat of Mesoraco did not help matters. The catcher bobbled the ball and threw wildly beyond first base, allowing Cincinnati's first run of the seventh inning to score. After that gaffe, the floodgates opened.
"[Santana] jumped out after it really aggressively like he's supposed to," Francona said, "and it spun backwards. And then he kind of got in no-man's land. Once we threw it away, that ends up being a big inning."
And another big loss.
"We have a lot of faith in our guys out there," McAllister said, "and that we're going to be able to win games and get back on top."
