Mariners ace Hernandez wins fourth straight
Thu., July 19, 2012, 2:24 p.m.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Felix Hernandez worked quickly in the rising heat.
He won his fourth straight decision, Jesus Montero homered and drove in four runs to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 Thursday.
The temperature was 98 at the first pitch and 105 by the time the game ended.
"I was not thinking about the heat," Hernandez said. "I know it was hot. I just tried to throw strikes and get quick outs.
"I was not trying to pitch to contact, but just throw strikes," Hernandez said. "It's hot like 103, but I don't feel it that much. I'm trying to get quick outs and get out of the inning."
Hernandez (8-5) is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in his past seven starts since a loss to San Diego on June 12. While he leads the majors with 143 strikeouts, Hernandez struck out only three, tying his season low. He allowed one run and eight hits, throwing only 89 pitches in eight innings.
Hernandez worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth, striking out Alcides Escobar and retiring Billy Butler on a grounder.
"He got a lot of quick outs. He was strong again today, a lot of life at end of his pitches and he was down," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He really only had to work that last inning. That was big too. That game gets real close, real quick if one of those guys comes through. He really stepped up right there those last two hitters."
Hernandez permitted four singles in the first two innings, but got double-play grounders in both to keep his pitch count down.
The Mariners jumped on Royals rookie left-hander Will Smith (1-3) for three runs in the second with Montero leading off the inning with his ninth home run. Michael Saunders had an RBI single and Brendan Ryan added a sacrifice fly.
"It was a bad pitch 1-2," Smith said. "That's supposed to be a pitcher's count."
The Mariners increased the lead to 4-0 in the fifth when Ichiro Suzuki doubled and scored on Montero's single.
Montero had an RBI double off the left-field railing in the seventh inning and added a sacrifice fly in the ninth to match his career high with four RBIs.
Hernandez's streak of 19 2-3 scoreless innings ended in the fifth, which Eric Hosmer began with a double and scored on Chris Getz's single.
Smith, just recalled from Triple-A Omaha, gave up four runs on eight hits in 6 1-3 innings, while walking two and striking out five.
The Mariners won three of four against the Royals, who have lost 13 of 17 games.
"I thought it was a great series overall," Wedge said. "I loved the way we played, a total team effort. You talk about a vision the way you want your team to play and how you want to go out there and play major league baseball and this is about it. This is what we're looking for."
The Mariners faced a left-handed starting pitcher for the fifth straight game for the first time since July 23-28, 2009. .The Royals optioned RHP Vin Mazzaro to Triple-A Omaha. .C Jason Kendall, who has not played in nearly 23 months after having two shoulder operations, signed a minor league contract with the Royals and was assigned to their Double-A Northwest Arkansas affiliate. . RHP Erasmo Ramirez, who went on the disabled list July 1 with a mild elbow strain, threw a bullpen session Thursday and will pitch a simulated game this weekend when the Mariners are in Tampa Bay. .RHP Luke Hochevar will start Friday for the Royals in the series opener against Minnesota. RHP Nick Blackburn goes for the Twins.

I began the new week with 6 relaxed miles. Avg pace was 9:45 and AHR checked in at 123. I felt surprisingly good considering I raced yesterday. It was my first run in the new Mizunos and they are truly limosines for the feet! I'm so glad I stumbled onto that bargain.
Geezers 60+ .... week of 05/05
I got in an easy 4 miles this afternoon. The week ahead looks favorable so I'm hoping to be in the 45-50 mile range by Saturday.
Back from my camping trip. It was real windy and hot all weekend and I only ran 6 miles on Saturday. The rest of the time was spent sitting around talking with 2 old friends and their wife's Sure enough, I was told by the one that is about 150 lbs over weight that all the running was just not good for me, his over weight wife said I was much to skinny, The other friend agreed and it was all I could do to keep smiling while I replied, " Seems that I"m the only guy here walking around without a cane." Not sure they even got the idea.
Bklyn48: Just 20 miles for me last week.
Royboy: Sorry to here the last part of the race didn't go as planned. Sounds like you came away uninjured and ready to run another day.
Ray: Another great race and this one sounds like fun what with running with "the kid" and then trying to chase down another one.
Mr. Moses, the race was good. Having friends to challenge me added an air of excitement. The fact that I beat him made it all the better. With results posted, I beat him by 3 seconds. Glad I didn't slack off those last 200 yards!
Funny story about the overweight people giving you health advice . I've heard that crap before and it always makes me chuckle. I always smile and tell them that I may not live longer but I live better.
Day 125—Progress through Sunday, May 5
Last week we covered 335 miles along the Amtrak Empire Builder route between Seattle and Chicago.
Current location: Rio, Wisconsin.
Total of 6,133 miles year-to-date; we're currently three weeks ahead of schedule. Our individual goals for 2013 add up to a total of 15,300 miles.
We have ten in the group: Mr. Moses, illinidave, Mac47, RayInFlorida, EGeary, Nasreddin Hoja, Royboy, Betzera24, goomba and Bklyn48.
This week we'll continue going south and east through Wisconsin to Chicago. Heading east out of Chicago we'll begin to follow Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited route to Boston.
We should finish the week near Elkhart, Indiana.
Q: Can new runners join the group?
A: Sure. Just post a note in the weekly Geezer thread letting us know you're interested in joining the team.
Q: When and where will the group's progress be posted?
A: Every Thursday, at the latest, in the weekly Geezer thread
Q: Should we post each day's run, or just summarize for each week?
A: Weekly summaries posted in the Geezer thread would be best
Q: Will daily posts count?
A: Yes, daily posts will be tracked as long as they're in the Geezer thread
Q: Where are you running to?
A: We're going around the perimeter of the U.S. from Miami to San Diego, Seattle and New York. At New York we'll hop across the pond and run southeast from the U.K. through Europe to Greece and Israel. Returning to New York we'll head back to Miami.
ggk - You can never have too many bikes. I have 4 and need more. A CX (which I rode to work this am), A Downhill Bike, a Hardtail and a Track Bike. I have 3 places to keep them.
Dunno why it took so long to get the Track Bike. Recommend looking at those, the feel of the roadie with 23mm tyres and drop handlebars but very cheap. Single speed.
2.2 miles run today, 13 mile Bike. Dunno what happened. Two days "RD" working on the house then running, I should've knocked out the 5 no sweat. Got dizzy at 2, couldn't snap out of it and bailed.
I admire you bike guys....'cause I don't have the guts to wear spandex.
I have a bike but I don't wear spandex . I mostly ride it for fun but I "work" it when my back is acting up and I can't run. Haven't had that in a couple years now. The bike is a classic, picked up for $50 at a yard sale. It's a 1983 Raleigh Seneca Mountain Tour.
I forgot to post my mileage from last week. It was 52.7 miles, which puts us a little closer to Chicago. I'm assuming the route will come down either I-90 or I-94. In either case, that will make it about 0.7 miles from my house.
Roy, we're following an Amtrack route, not a highway. Still might be close to you.
Tues morning, 5.3 miles, 8:35 avg pace. It was 60° out there and I had to run hard to get warm.
it's all relative isn't Ray. 56 degrees here this morning, downright balmy.
Did not run yesterday, needed time off but today went for 4.
I have two bikes one mountain, one hybrid (trek) and we have options. We can ride from home and connect with several trails within a mile or drive about 5 miles and connect with some different trails. I've gotten over not wearing the spandex things. It wouldn't be the first time I've been snickered at. My wife and I ride together as it is something we both enjoy and can do together. QualityTime
I have taken the Amtrack to Chicago several times so I am in familiar territory. It's a pleasant ride.
Hope you all enjoy your day.
It was still in the 70's here this morning and I took advantage of what may be one of the last cooler morning in many months by running 9.25 miles at under a 10 minute pace. I have sent in my $$$ for a half marathon in Southern California on May 19th. It fits in with a trip to the coast that I already had planned and maybe that will help get me out the door on these warmer days.
Good morning all, Everyone seems to be getting in their miles. Beginning with Sunday, I've run 4,7,7,& 5 miles. Yesterday was raining so I returned to the treadmill. Today's temp was nice but the humidity has begun to pick up. The 7 miles on Monday was a harder effort because of all the hills on the route and my legs haven't had much zip since. I eased up the pace the last couple of days and hope to get in a longer run tomorrow.
Well, I'm not getting my miles. 2 miles and I was roasted. Prolly could've gotten the 5 if I'd been ready to lie down after. Guess I'm still feeling last weeks speedwork.
I've got to rest up for those two races this w/e.
I've shifted Wed back to SRD. I plan to boost my Tue & Thu runs to 5-6 miles each day so I'll still get my mileage but an extra day of rest.
5.7 miles to start my Thursday. I worked out on the treadmill this morning and progressively bumped the speed after the first 2 miles. Was under an 8:00 pace by the time I started my cool down. Felt great.
I got in a long run today, 12 miles in 1:57, but it wasn't much fun. I had planned on 14, but just didn't have the oomph. Legs were heavy and temperature and humidity were up. I walked up parts of several of the steeper hills.. It will probably take several runs and time outdoors as the weather warms to get better acclimated.
Looks like I'm the low mileage guy so far today with just 3.5 treadmill miles. Planned on running 5 outside but just didn't get out of bed early enough to beat the hot sun.
I ran 8 today in 1:10 flat. This is pretty fast for a midweek run for me. I didn't intend to do this when I headed out this morning, but for some reason I just couldn't control my effort. I even threw in two 30 second walks, at miles 4 and 6, in an attempt to slow everything down, but I wasn't very successful.
I still had a lot of energy this afternoon as I washed and waxed my truck and spent about 1.5 hours mowing. I'm thinking an ice cream cone might be a good thing if I can talk DW into a little trip in a clean, shiny truck.
MrM, I hear you about the sun. I try my best to do all my running 65F (18C) or below. Fortunately in NE Ohio it's rarely much warmer than that in the early morning...sometimes very early morning.
Mac, nothing wrong with 12, but I'm sorry it wasn't much fun. Even with walking, 1:57 isn't too bad, especially with rising humidity and temps.
Ray, very nice run this morning. I was feeling pretty good about my sub9 miles and here you are running 7:xx's.
Hi to Betzera, Nas, goomba, ggkusmc, Bklyn, and the rest of the Geezer Group. Good runs to all of you.
Mac, 12 miles is a great run regardless of pace. I'm probably the biggest offender of trying to "race" my long runs.
Mr. Moses, I love the hot sun! A t-mill 3.5 is good. You didn't crap out just because you didn't get your way.
Dave, I didn't spend much time under 8:00 ... not today anyway. Your 8 averaged about 8:45 and I don't know if I could match that. Excellent workout sir!
6.1 easy miles this morning. I tried to do the last 100 or so yards of each mile as a little sprint, but there wasn't much sprint in me. Early morning temperatures are still a decent mid to high 60's in the early mornings here in AZ. which is right were I like it. I would never make it with the higher humidity that most of you have.
Illinidave: Hope you got that ice cream cone. After that schedule you certainly earned it.
Just dropping in to say hello. I would love to run in the a.m. but can only manage in on Sat. or sometimes, like today on a Friday. While Fridays unfortunately are a work day for me, if there are no problems, they are half days. If when I wake up this time of the year all is well, and nothing requires attention, I go out for a 10 k. Other than that, all my running is at dusk, where for the past few weeks it has been at least 30 C (86 F), and it will stay like this, or be worse until at least October. Ray, I recall that you once said the hotter the better. Believe me when I say that someone who says that has no idea what real hot is. It`s the pits. Anyway, I hope to get my sorry arse out tomorrow early and manage to do something like 9 - 11 miles.
Thanks Bklyn!
Actually some business in my trip. Asia is developing really fast. I'm not a fan of it. Bangkok is awful now.
That's a load of mileage! You will kill it in the Brooklyn Half. One of my fav races. Marty Markowitz!!! Last year, they had the start near the museum. About two miles in, it went up Flatbush and you could really pass some people if you needed to. Lil tight going into the Park but Ocean Parkway, you can really put the hammer down. I love Prospect Park. I know every single inch.
Well, got up and ran my 15 km which gave me 54 km or 33.5 miles for the week. Considering the week, I`m pleased that I was able to get in a reasonable amount. A good weekend to all .
Dave - It is rare that I have a day similar to the one you had, but when it happens, I milk it for what its worth, and am left wondering both why it happened, and why it doesn`t happen more often.
Lucky for me the rain held off until my morning run was finished—I've got 40.3 miles for the group this week.
I did 800m intervals today. The weather turned cold and rainy last night and I didn't fully realize it. I dressed in shorts and short sleeves and it was 45F (8C) and windy. Even the faster pace wasn't able to keep me warm, so I quit after just 6 although I did keep them all under 3:40.
I ended up with a light mileage week at 52.0. It's my kinda, sorta taper. I'll drop the mileage a little more next week in anticipation of my HM on Sunday, next.
15.4 miles this week. 52 miles sure wouldn't be my taper. Good Peak week for me. lol
The UAE/Healthy Kidney 10K has a big cash prize and a 30 grand bonus if you break the CP record. so it brings the elites. I didn't get to see them, I got there late cuz of the rain. I'm sure they re-arranged the course, the elites weren't where they usually are. Two minutes above PR. Nice conditions, should've done better, felt kinda flat like I have all week. Another race tomorrow.
Not a good outing for me this morning. I had some pain early in my inside right leg which lingered. also I seemed weak. I have no explanation. I managed 10 miles, 9:58 avg pace, 132 AHR. Lately I've been doing easy runs at about a 9:45 pace, 123-125 AHR.
Bklyn, chalk me up with 27 miles for the week.
Nas, good luck tomorrow!
Dave & Bklyn, great weeks for you two.
Good day to all.
I got in 6 miles this morning and, for the week, 43 miles.
Nas, I'm with you. I got in a couple of 50+ weeks training for the marathon, but they were peaks, not tapers. Dave, you're setting the bar high for us.
I felt a little worn down after Thursday, so yesterday I only did an easy 2 miles on the treadmill. Spent the afternoon out on the town with my wife. Stopped by a discount shoe store and picked up a pair of Kinvara 3s. I've been using them for racing and occasional fast workouts, liked them, and, with the Kanvara 4s now out, the 3s are nicely discounted. Took in a movie. While my wife was doing some shopping before the movie I treated myself to a milkshake. Both are pretty rare for me. The milk shake (strawberry) was better than the movie (The Great Gatsby).
SRD for me to day after an easy 6.1 yesterday.
Betzera: I think we have about the same weather but I only have to deal with it late June to mid September. Nice week topped off with 15K which is what I have scheduled for tomorrow if I get up early enough.
Bklyn: Those are some great low HR numbers. I do my long runs at about the same pace and my HR drifts up from 120 to 130+ during those runs, and I'm sure my max is lower than yours.
Nas: One down one to go. I don't think I would ever attempt racing two days in a row, have fun tomorrow.
Ray: You manage to keep your HR down pretty well to, makes me wonder whats wrong with me. Is the pain on the lower leg. If so it could be a sign of shin splints. I find wrapping the leg with a stretch bandage helps a great deal.
Mac: I also treated myself to a milk shake last Sunday. Problem is mine was not such a rare occasion.
Mr. Moses, the pain is on the extreme upper part of my inner thigh .... just beside the male parts. I figure it's related to my bulging disc that hasn't been repaired. Occasionally I get strange pains in my right leg and I always blame that disc. It's between L3-L4. The bulge between L4-L5 that messed up my left leg was repaired.
Good luck with resolving your leg pain, Ray.
I've been recovering nicely from my marathon last Saturday, as you all were kindly wishing me. I put in 22.0 miles towards our group trek this week, with a long run of 5.5 miles this past Friday. I've actually lost about 2 ponds this week, which has happened after previous marathons with me. I think it's related to a loss of muscle mass and stored glycogen which was all used up during the race. Even with the reduced mileage I ended up weighing 185.6 lbs this morning, which I haven't weighed in several years. My wife, Teresa, who is a nurse, is mildly concerned that something may be wrong with me. If I get near 180 lbs. then I'll be concerned

Can "Bidder 70" Inspire You to Be the Change That You Seek?
Ever wondered how far you'd be willing to go to make a difference in your community?
How much time and money would you be willing to give toward a cause?
Would you risk being thrown in jail for something that you strongly believe in?
I found myself mulling over these questions last month when the Center for a New American Dream co-sponsored the showing of the new documentary film Bidder 70 at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D.C. The screening, hosted by the Environment Committee at St. Columba's Church, attracted more than 250 viewers from across the D.C. metro area who were interested in learning more about activist Tim DeChristopher and his bold efforts to be the change that he sought.
On December 19, 2008, DeChristopher, then a 27-year-old economics student at the University of Utah, derailed a controversial Bush administration auction of federal lands by posing as a qualified bidder for oil and gas leases, despite having no intention of paying. Raising paddle #70, he bid $1.7 million and won 22,000 acres of pristine Utah wilderness that was slated for extractive development. He was later charged with fraud, and in 2012 DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised probation and a $10,000 fine.
The good news is that, as a result of DeChristopher's actions, a passionate movement has grown around him in support of preserving the public lands he was trying to save. These areas, shockingly, were directly adjacent to national treasures like Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dinosaur National Monument.
Even better news is that DeChristopher is due to be released this month—on April 21, the day before Earth Day.
If you want to learn more about DeChristopher's actions and the incredible network he has spawned, I encourage you to consider attending or hosting an Earth Day screening of Bidder 70. You can also be part of a live conversation with Tim and hear more about his plans for the future—you are sure to be moved.
If you find yourself inspired to get directly involved in your community, you can check out the Collaborative Communities section of the New Dream website. We've developed a new Community Action Kit that provides easy-to-use guides for taking action. You'll find tips on creating initiatives that build local capacity and leadership, increase environmental sustainability, and foster greater livability and vitality in your neighborhood or region.
We may not all be as selfless and daring as DeChristopher, but we can still have a lasting impact in our communities—to preserve our local environment, to stand up for what's right, and to make a difference in our own, equally important, ways.
Anna Awimbo is the Collaborative Communities Program Director with the Center for a New American Dream.
Tim's story is so moving. I, too, found myself contemplating whether, for all my rhetoric and passion, would I have the guts to do what's right when it came down to it, if the cost was so high, as it was in Tim's case. They say bravery is not the absence of fear, but rather doing what has to be done in the face of fear. I hope I will be that brave if I am ever in a similar situation.

Topic: Patty is in the Hospital
Dear fellow CC fighters,
Your posts bring us so much strength and comfort. I wish that I could tell you that all is well with Patty. The news is not good though. After an EGD ( a scope in her stomach) this morning, it was discovered what is causing the blockage. The tumor in her bile duct is growing and is pressing against her stomach and has completely blocked the opening to her intestines and nothing is flowing. She has a gastric tube in place to keep her stomach empty. She is scheduled for surgery Monday at 1 pm to bypass the tumor and create an opening so food can move from her stomach to her intestines.
She has a pic line in place and they are feeding her TPN nutrients. She has to stay in bed due to all the lines she has running everywhere. If all goes well, the doc said she would probably have a week recuperation from the surgery. He said that the surgery would probably take about an hour with a three inch incesion. Dear loved ones, I can't imagine going through this ordeal without the Lord at our side. Patty still has her bright smile. She knows where her eternity is. May we all be there together. What a day that will be.!!
Love and God Bless,
Ted and Patty

I should have mentioned this in the details at YT. I'm using the power grip with my thumb positioned just off the rim on the top plate of the disc, as suggested by Will Schusterick (he, Dave Feldberg, Sheila Kirkham and Ross Brandt gave a clinic before the Memorial).
Any suggestions you may have are very much appreciated.

Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
We're in need of talent and players who are motivated and love the game of basketball.
Pacers really need to win against the Bucks if they want to stay in the playoffs.
That box score is atrocious. Unbelievable. Looks like Florida St.
The Bucks looking like they may beat the Bulls tonight...
i think AJ Price still believes he's the only guy on the court, like he did in college.
Words cannot describe Roy's play tonight. Unless the words are "NBA Development League."
Bucks are shutting down Deng and Boozer and might be on a way to blowing the bulls out they are playing very good. With a lot of effort.
I like how you say it as if you can't be wrong about anything.
Congratulations to you for being right about something...even if you mentioned it after he started making it rain.

Man the Bobcats and their fans must be laughing their asses.
I got the impression when I was there they knew they were done and that we were going to roll right in.
This team is really an embarrassment and a disgrace.
is that u kafuman who mike wells just RT?
postgame thread guys.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
I just said if he gets going he doesnt miss and tonight he got going. He is a very good shooter.
This is how I know you all aren't evaluating him based the decisions he's making on the court and on how he's running the team, but on how he's shooting the ball.
Price played a good point guard game tonight. That's why he played at the end. He was running the team well. (Funny how he looks more like a traditional point guard when he plays with guys that can..you know..score)
His shooting..atrocious..and it's stretched to his free throws..percentages have to even out eventually..right..
Now Sookie is gonna do a write up on how AJ is amazing and was amazing in college also.
Ok, I will give that to you. It just seemed like you were looking for people to pat you on the back because something you said was right. Or that was the way it came off the first time I read it.
It wasnt meant that way. I was only trying to tell the poster that If Charlie V gets playing time and is left open i expect him to shot lights out. If he played defense and rebounded how he shoots he would be a near all star.
EDIT: plus i saw him drop almost 40 on the clippers earlier this year pretty much all of it was jump shots.

You mean that thing the Pacers seem to be lacking?
He shot terrible. Has been shooting terrible. But it's not typical, well before this season (and even in this season) Only good news is, typically..percentages even out.
As for how he played as a point guard. He was good tonight. Ran the team well, stole the ball 3 times, made good decisions, tried to make some key plays (just can't shoot..even free throws..) Even defended Stuckey as well as he could have.
So, as I said..it's clear people aren't happy with his shooting percentage, and applying that to the rest of his game..He played well, he shot terrible.

Did You Know?
The Screech Owl keeps in contact with its mate using a trilling song, known as the "bounce song."
We got such a positive response to our last blog post on enrichment at Potter Park Zoo, along with a lot of questions about how the animals use the items. We have answers for you!
The African Crested Porcupine likes the ketchup A LOT. We will put ketchup, mustard, and lots of other items on pinecones and give them to him. The muntjac will also lick it off of logs.
We will cook the oatmeal and spread it on toys, pinecones or branches. Birds, primates, the rhinos, porcupine, etc. all seem to enjoy the oatmeal as a treat. Doppsee (one of our Black Rhinos) especially likes the flavored oatmeal like apple and cinnamon or brown sugar.
Raw oatmeal is used as well in foraging devices and the primates will move the device until they get the oatmeal out. You can't use the cooked oatmeal as easily for that because it sticks and won't come out.
Cologne is used for the large cats, but also the mongoose, fox, otters, hoof stock, wolves, meerkats, etc.
Mint jelly we have tried on the rhinos and they like it, and are still trying it with some other animals!
This is just a brief overview, but as you can see...the animals use all of these items as part of their enrichment, and rely on them for stimulation and education!
And if you happened to miss our last post, YOU can help make enrichment possible!
How YOU CAN HELP!
If you would like to help with enrichment, you can donate supplies noted below in our enrichment wish list:

Rays place ill Peralta on DL, recall Beliveau
ST. LOUIS -- Rays reliever Joel Peralta was placed on the disabled list Tuesday as he continues to battle joint pain and aches stemming from a mosquito bite.
Peralta, who last pitched July 12, went home to the Dominican Republic during the All-Star break and came down with a fever and aches when the team arrived in Minnesota to begin the season's second half Friday. The symptoms were comparable to the Chikungunya virus, which includes joint pain, headaches and a fever.
"He's ill," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Apparently it was a mosquito bite from what I understand. He was hurting, man. He had a fever, and his joints were achy and all the different things that if you go to WebMD you're going to see all the particular pitfalls about it."
Maddon said Peralta wasn't going to be available to return by Wednesday in St. Louis, so the team placed him on the disabled list and recalled Jeff Beliveau, who joined the club Tuesday for his fifth stint in the Majors this season.
Beliveau, a left-hander, has thrown only two innings in his previous four stints. He has a 1.50 ERA in 36 innings with Triple-A Durham.
"If someone goes down, I'm the guy they call up," Beliveau said. "I keep a bag packed. I literally had my bag packed from my last road trip in Buffalo. I was like, 'You know what, I'm not going to unpack it into my drawers.' I threw a few more shirts in there today, shut it and I was good to go."
How long Beliveau's stint will be this time remains uncertain. Peralta is eligible to return from the disabled list Monday, but there is currently no timetable as the team waits for him to first get rid of the symptoms before regaining his strength.
Peralta, who is 2-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 43 appearances this season, said in an interview Monday the virus is supposed to last one week.
"He was starting to feel a little bit better, but we talked about his joints [being] achy and he was really lethargic and just had nothing," Maddon said. "I think you just have to wait for that to run its course. For right now, we just know he's out and I can't tell you exactly how long."

HAINES FALLS, N.Y. -- It's a project that was decades in the making.
And on Saturday, June 1, the Kaaterskill Rail Trail in Haines Falls finally had its grand opening celebration.
The one-and-a-half mile recreational trail runs along the abandoned Ulster & Delaware Railroad bed between the Mountain Top Historical Society and the end of Laurel House Road. In the future the trail could connect to the Escarpment Trail by the state Department of Environmental Conservation's North-South Lake campground.
The idea to turn the abandoned railroad bed into a recreational trail dates back to the 1970s, but the plan did not come to fruition until a group of organizations and volunteers became focused on making it a reality.
"It's not a new idea," said Michelle Yost, watershed assistance program coordinator for the Greene County Soil & Water Conservation District. "It's just never had its time to come full circle like it has now."
Yost said she does not know what the holdup was in getting the trail created when it was first envisioned in the 1970s. She said her guess was there was never an organized approach to the project.
In 2000, the town of Hunter did apply for a transportation enhancement grant to create the trail, but it was never approved, Yost said. She said the plan ultimately went dormant again.
Then in 2007 the Greene County Soil & Water Conservation District began its Mountaintop Community Resource Strategy, Yost said. She said that was started through a state Department of State grant, which allowed the district to work across the entire mountaintop with communities, businesses and non-profit organizations to look at ways to improve the area's outdoor and cultural resources. They also looked at projects that were fitting for watershed protection, Yost said.
As a result of that project, which lasted about two years, an Outdoor Resources Committee was formed, Yost said. She said that group revisited the idea of creating the rail trail as well as another project called the Windham Path. The group later broke into two subsets, one for the Kaaterskill Rail Trail and one for the Windham Path, Yost said.
Yost said the committee that worked on the Kaaterskill Rail Trail included representatives from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, the town, the Mountain Top Historical Society and the county Soil & Water Conservation District. She said many people donated their time, materials, labor and expertise to make the project a reality.
"It's really, really exciting to work with such dedicated people who have had this vision for such a long time," Yost said.
The railroad where the Kaaterskill Rail Trail now runs was in service from the 1880s to the 1940s, serving Haines Falls and the mountain top where there were a number of hotels including the Catskill Mountain House and Hotel Kaaterskill, according to Robert Gildersleeve, a member of the Mountain Top Historical Society and author of "Catskill Mountain House Trail Guide: In the Footsteps of the Hudson River School." He said there were actually two separate rail lines owned by competing companies at the time, but the tracks were pulled up in the 1940s after they were no longer in use.
Gildersleeve said the trail was later informally used by local property owners and others, but it had gotten overgrown quite a bit. Volunteers had to go in and cut down the small trees and dig up stumps to make the trail navigable again, he said.
Yost said the trail will be open year-round for non-motorized use and there will be kiosks at each of the trailheads that feature maps. The trail itself is well-marked and easy to traverse, she said. Yost added that at one point the trail runs along a small stretch of North Lake Road to skirt one property whose owner has not signed on to the trail plan. She said other property owners have given their permission for the trail to run across their land.
"People shouldn't have any trouble finding the trail," Yost said. She added that there are plans to have the Kaaterskill Rail Trail connect to the Escarpment Trail via a pedestrian bridge over the Spruce Creek, but that is for the future. She said there are also plans to extend the trail into the village.
There are places along the rail trail where visitors can get glimpses of the Kaaterskill Falls, Gildersleeve added. He said there is also the potential to open up some of those views in the future, but that is not a priority right now.
Gildersleeve added that the trail began as a footpath before being taken over by the rail lines and has now come full circle.
Yost said the trail will "be nice for families" and casual hikers. She also said there is work being done to smooth out the surface of the trail in some areas.
There are also plans to add more interpretive panels on the trail that will speak more to the economy back in the 1800s and the role of the railroad in bringing people to the area for vacation, Yost said. She added that old railroad ties and cinders can still be seen along the trail.
"So people will have a sense of history before they go out on the trail," Yost said.

Hi everybody!
Great forum, learned a lot of things about excel I didn't know before
My problem is this, I have to group some data from a pdf format.
I import them into a excel worksheet, but the problem is with selecting them, because the data are really messed up. I tried selecting them with sumproduct with criteria, but the problem is that the formula wants the criteria to be a text that is in only one cell, whereas in my case there I would like the formula to select for example the cell that has the text "Visa34" as well as the cell with "Visa12,FIB3" (i.e. all the cells with "Visa" even thought there might be other words or letters in the same cell...). Can somebody help me? I would really be grateful, cause till now I (and the others before me) used to just print the data and write them down in excel... I really think there can be a lot of easier ways than that :/
thanx in advance
Welcome to the forum!

use a formula something like this
hello! thanx for the very quick reply
I just tried the formula with LEFT, but didn't seem to work... I've attached an example of what I am talking about, and in that mess I have to select data with more than one vague criteria, i.e. sum all the cells that are in a row with the cell with a "FINVALTR" in it, but also with a "Visa", and so on. The problem is that there is only one cell with the criteria and description, and when I try and use 'text to columns', it doesnt' help much, cause not always the text has spaces between words...
Does this od what you are after?

Hey, Pangolin, I just wrote my first array formula, very similar to yours, but I didn't realise it was one until I saw your post! Thanks!
You can use Wildcards in SUMIF
hi again and thx again
I tried your formula pangolin and it worked perfectly, but when I tried changing the criteria (i.e. instead of "Visa" put "Buxheti" or "Fonde" and instead of "FINVALTR" put "CDISALTR", the formula doesn't work anymore...
how come in some cases it works and in some not? Maybe there is something I don't know about it...
P.S. I did use the ctrl+alt+enter...
try putting everything in capitals
for eg "Fonde" should be put as FONDE...see the UPPER function in the formula which converts the string into upper case and VISA and FINVALTR are in caps
that was done because some words are in upper and some in lower
also if an array formula is modified then the "curly" brackets disappear and the formula needs to be again confirmed by Ctrl+Shift+Enter

The savagery of humanity makes wild animals seem meek as kittens in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."
In the last few years, Rajiv Joseph has gone from an unknown playwright to a hot property. The Pulitzer-nominated playwright seems to be everywhere these days. San Jose's City Lights is unfolding the origami love story "Animals Out of Paper" through Oct. 20. San Francisco's Tides Theatre is delving into "Gruesome Playground Injuries" through Nov. 9.
Now, the ever adventurous San Francisco Playhouse, which introduced Joseph to the Bay Area, is taking on his brutally poetic Iraq drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo." Slyly directed by Bill English, this fascinating but flawed piece runs through Nov. 16 in its regional premiere.
The ghosts of the dead are cursed to roam the streets of war-ravaged Iraq in this play, which starred Robin Williams on Broadway. Perhaps the most provocative of the doomed spirits is the title character, an aging tiger (a deliciously deadpan Will Marchetti dressed in tattered garb) who bites the hand that feeds him and gets a belly full of lead for his pains.
One of the trigger-happy Marines (Gabe Marin as Tom) charged with watching the tiger's cage loses a limb to the feral animal, while another (Craig Marker as Kev) makes off with some of the booty looted from Saddam Hussein's family palace, including a golden toilet seat and a gun.
While this edgy and ambitious drama lacks the taut focus of Joseph's thriller "The North Pool" and the delicacy of "Animals Out of Paper," few playwrights mix the visceral and the metaphysical with as much courage. The worlds of the living and the dead collide in a jarring montage of sights and sounds. English, who also designed the set, frames the action in a surreal tableau of stone and sand under a bruised orange sky. If the production lacks enough electricity to power Joseph's flights of existential bravado, the performances are uniformly insightful as the action flips from the wry to the bizarre.
Chaos reigns in this nightmarish fever dream, where no one can tell if the next moment will bring a bullet to the head or the wonder of a small child's delight at a garden. These moments of beauty and kindness are few and far between, as civilization crumbles into the abyss of a war zone.
The soldiers bray and swagger, caring only about the spoils of war. The civilians, quaking amid the suffering and destruction, only care about survival. Only the tiger seems to ponder issues of morality and philosophy. It seems the afterlife unleashes his capacity for abstract thought, leaving the once ferocious animal to puzzle out his place in the scheme of things.
The atrocity of war shines through in the details, the way an Iraqi man named Musa (a magnetic turn by Kuros Charney), who works as a translator for the American forces, pines for the halcyon days of topiary gardening, and the way a leper (Sarita Ocon) living in a pile of rubble bemoans the loss of her hands.
Perhaps the most harrowing element in the play is the ongoing exchange between Musa and his smarmy former employer, Uday Hussein (the nimble Pomme Koch), Saddam's oldest son, who's now dead but still triumphant about his passion for torture and mutilation. Musa is desperate to find a moment's peace amid the horror, but Uday's ghost relentlessly pulls him back into the fear and carnage. His taunting is deeply disturbing but also undeniably funny, a witty indictment of human nature at its most monstrous.
This is a grisly world of predators and prey, of rape and beheading, where there's no relief from the bloodshed, not even in death.

Inkstuds Spotlight: Jay Potts And Comics You Can Believe In
Comics as we know it is wide and fractured. There's Direct Market comics, bookstore comics, webcomics, indie comics, manga, Eurocomics, and several more subcultures. I'm curious about what working under the broad umbrella of "comics" is like for creators, publishers, critics, academics, and more. Over the course of this month, I'm going to interview several people whose work, position, or goals I find interesting and attempt to paint a picture of what "comics" means today.
For the month of February, I'm taking over the Inkstuds podcast in order to introduce Inkstuds Spotlight, a focused look at what it means to be in comics. A comprehensive look isn't my goal. My goal is to show you several different slices of life in comics, as the people I'm interviewing this month play a wide variety of roles in comics. Today, I'm speaking to Jay Potts, a cartoonist working on his new series and navigating how to respect his inspirations while still making his work his own.

Remember when Anna Benson was on this controversial Sporting News cover in 2006? Things have changed.
The estranged wife of former major league pitcher Kris Benson was arrested Monday in Smyrna, Ga., and charged with felony assault after an alleged home invasion, according to TMZ.com.
Anna, according to the TMZ report, stormed into the couple's apartment armed with a gun and a metal baton and wearing a bulletproof vest, and demanded money from Kris. A court handling the couple's divorce had ordered Anna to stay away from the residence.
Kris escaped after promising to get Anna her cash, then called police, according to TMZ.
According to an arrest report by the Cobb County Sheriff's Department, Anna was charged with two counts of felony assault with a weapon; one count of criminal trespass, a misdemeanor, and one felony count of possessing a firearm during the commission of or attempt to commit a felony.
She was being held in the county jail without bond.

"Oh how cute is this Precious Pom Pom Owls. I so have to try this one, I make my own pom poms but never thought of making a owl. I like the step by step photos on how to make this cute little guy. This will be a great way to spice up that fall hat or scarf. Fingers crossed that mine will come out as nice looking as the ones pictured. Has any one tried making this? How did they turn out? Thanks for sharing this fee craft."
"OMG. This looks so good. I also like how easy it is (I'll probably mess it up still, but it looks so easy). I really want to make this in time for Halloween this year!"
"I printed out the wall art, and I can't wait to frame it and hang it up in my place. It looks simply divine. My only problem is that the bookmark seems to come one per page which is a bit silly. I would have liked it even more if there were multiples on the page but whatever. The colors are on point and it doesn't even look like I just printed it from home, so I consider it an overall win."
"I know this pillow SAYS it's for children, but I really need this for my place. It would fit right in! Too darn cute."
"This is another good one for the grandkids. I have some coffee filters left over from when I quit drinking coffee, so I can use them up this way. They're not natural color though, and I wonder if I could dip them in a weak food coloring bath to turn them pale green. I have stick pins so the kids could work with those easily."

Restoring Escondido's image as a safe city, cleaning up rundown neighborhoods, and devoting more money to street paving were among the priorities established by City Council members this week.
The council also set some other goals, including a stingier policy for using city reserves and expansion of the "targeted" policing that helped clean up Grape Day Park this winter.
No action was taken at the council's four-hour brainstorming session Wednesday afternoon, but city employees said they will craft the priorities into an "action plan" for the council to approve this spring.
The council has held such meetings, which aim to set an agenda for the next two years, shortly after each general election since the 1990s.
Council members stressed Wednesday that their No. 1 priority remains job growth and economic development, the main focus of the action plan established in 2011.
They said that goal dovetails well with the new priorities set Wednesday.
Council members also agreed that the city should renew its pursuit of a luxury downtown hotel and try to become a charter city in 2014. But they chose to keep those goals separate from the new action plan so the document could have a narrower focus.
Making the city look better was the common theme of the new goals, with council members complaining that chopped-up streets, graffiti and rundown urban neighborhoods are holding the city back.
"Some of our neighborhoods are deteriorating to an alarming level," Mayor Sam Abed said.
City Manager Clay Phillips said he planned to revive an aggressive code enforcement program that cracked down on graffiti, illegal garage conversions and unkempt landscaping between 2006 and 2009.
Council members said those efforts would help make the city safer and improve its image. But they also endorsed boosting police officer pay to help fill more than 20 open positions, placing many more security cameras on city property, and expanding the use of targeted policing.
Councilman Ed Gallo was particularly enthusiastic about the security cameras, suggesting that the city could pay for them by eliminating its money-losing red-light camera program.
Targeted policing could help clean up the city's flood control channel, Washington Park or other areas, council members said.
Crime and homelessness are sharply down in Grape Day Park this winter due to an aggressive campaign that includes loud classical music, tree trimming, extra police patrols and policies discouraging donations.
"It's very effective when you focus on a particular area," Phillips said.
Another priority will be devoting millions to road maintenance and paving, which the city has neglected in recent years because of dwindling tax revenues during the recession.
Phillips said the city's past decisions to maintain its roads at the lowest acceptable standard was shortsighted. He said the city's approach makes repairs as much as 10 times more expensive.
The council also asked Phillips to create a "25/25" reserve policy, setting $25 million as the minimum level of city general fund reserve and 25 percent as the minimum percentage that the reserve should be of the city's annual budget.
The new policy would require the city to stash away more money and refrain from spending some of the additional sales tax revenue the city received since revenue began a sharp rebound three years ago.
"I think we can maintain a $24 million reserve and still get the things done we need to get done," Councilman Mike Morasco said.
Escondido has $24 million in reserve, and city finance officials have projected an $800,000 surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, which would boost the reserve to nearly $25 million.
The reserve is already above the 25 percent goal, which would be $20 million because the city's annual budget is just over $80 million.
The brainstorming session was moderated by Trudy Sopp, an organizational development expert.

PITTSBURGH — Giant Eagle is looking to ease the fears of consumers concerned about risig food costs by promising not to raise prices on hundreds of items through the holidays.
"Increases in commodity costs for corn, wheat and soybeans continue to contribute to rising food prices, and are compounded by additional factors such as fluctuating energy costs and drought," said Giant Eagle SVP marketing Lisa Henriksen. "Our Low Price Lock program will help Giant Eagle customers manage through this uncertainty during the holiday season, and make it easier to plan gatherings and budget-friendly meals with prices on many popular everyday and seasonal items locked, or in some cases reduced. Our Low Price Lock is yet another way for consumers to save by shopping at Giant Eagle."
The Low Price Lock item list includes a combination of national brands such as Heinz, Jif and Pillsbury alongside Giant Eagle brand products from many store departments including meat, produce, deli, dairy, grocery, seafood, bakery, frozen and prepared foods, and health and beauty items. Even prices on flu shots and a popular cell phone have been locked, through Jan. 2, 2013.

CHINO HILLS – Southern California Edison crews have started working in the right-of-way stretch of the Tehachapi project.
Edison employees have placed survey stakes at various locations throughout a portion of the project area to comply with a July 2 ruling by the state Public Utilities Commission.
SCE is preparing for additional engineering for the project route, according to a letter from Edison that was sent to residents and/or property owners in the Tehachapi right-of-way.
"As the name implies, staking is the process of setting stakes or markers in or on the ground to flag a location where some action may take place," said Paul Klein, Edison spokesman in an email.
"In this instance, the action taking place would be soil borings. The process involves land surveyors taking a set coordinates, locating those coordinates on the earth's surface using various surveying tools, and placing a stake in the soil at that locations."
Soon thereafter, crews will drill in the staked areas to take soil samples as part of the required preliminary engineering studies of underground options.
Drilling work is expected to take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday perhaps as early as this week take about six to eight weeks to complete, Edison officials said.
Edison officials said the samples are significant, with holes at about 30-feet deep and 8-inches in diameter.
Samplings will be done every 50 to 200 feet.
This is standard because soil conditions can change in that distance but not any closer, said Chuck Adamson, Edison's manager for major transmission projects.
"Soil conditions don't typically change that rapidly. We're not looking for one rock, we're looking for underground formation and those don't change much more often than that," he said.
The area that is being considered for changing from the approved design that has been partially constructed to potentially being undergrounded is about 3.8 miles and begins at the end of Eucalyptus Avenue down to the just east of Pipeline Avenue, between Pipeline and the 71 Freeway, Adamson said.
"That's the area where this work will be taking place, and yes it is a long distance, but that is what we have to do to be able to refine the engineering for underground option," Adamson said.
PUC President Michael Peevey has ordered Edison to prepare preliminary engineering studies of options for running transmission lines underground through the city. He required Edison to develop the information by Feb. 28.
This work will include the presence of project personnel, contractors, crew vehicles and ground boring equipment, including a truck-mounted drill rig, in portions of the utility right-of-way corridor, according to Edison's letter to residents.
Drilling will commence after receipt of PUC authorization, and at this time SCE anticipates that drilling could continue through about mid-September, according to Edison's letter.
Information about the project sce.com or call the project hotline at 877-795-8787.
The $2.1 billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission power line project is designed to carry wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles Basin.
Edison already has started extending the towers about five miles into the right-of-way.
But city officials and the grassroots group Hope for the Hills have advocated building the project underground.
Officials said the work that is being done should not be disruptive to residents or traffic.

HyunA revealed to weigh 39 kg during her "Bubble Pop!" promotions
It was recently revealed that HyunA had lost up to 5 kg (11 pounds) to reach a weight of 39 kg (89 pounds) for her latest comeback track, "Bubble Pop!".
An agency representative stated, "HyunA (164cm) was normally around 42-44 kg, but she went down to 39 kg due to stress and exhaustive training for her second solo promotions."
Despite all her hard work towards preparations, HyunA's "Bubble Pop!" promotions was forced to conclude prematurely as it was decided by the Korea Broadcasting and Communications Review Committee (KCC) that HyunA's choreography and outfits were deemed "too sexually suggestive" for public broadcast.
"I wish they had viewed the performances as just performances. K-Pop is quickly trending around the world and this, along with the limits to its genre, may lead to restrictions in freedom of expression." said her agency. Other representatives of the popular music industry also added, "We can't understand why her song suddenly became an issue when it was in the middle of its promotions."
Meanwhile, it was announced that on August 10th, the PDs of the three public music programs will be given a chance to express their own opinions about the issue of sexually provocative material on music shows with the committee members of the KCC.
"On the 10th, we will be exchanging opinions with broadcast representatives regarding this matter. PDs and other broadcasting staff are also allowed to participate; who will represent the companies is solely up to the choice of each. Instead of actively taking part in the discussion, people can also choose to send in written documents of their opinions. There is no obligation to participate."

MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- A former parole officer for the Ohio Department of Youth Services has been accused of hiring prostitutes while on duty.
The Mansfield News Journal (http://ohne.ws/TPo0im ) reports Wednesday that 55-year-old Edward Favers was indicted on various charges that include procuring or soliciting a prostitute and theft in office.
Richland County Assistant Prosecutor Gary Bishop said Favers is accused of picking up prostitutes and taking them to his pontoon boat at a marina, as well as falsifying his employee time card and other records.
Favers was placed on administrative leave in June and retired Oct. 12. Bishop said Favers worked with Richland County Juvenile Court.
His attorney information wasn't immediately available. He is scheduled to be arraigned next week.
