Jackpot Deuces Online Progressive Video Poker
Jackpot Deuces is an online video poker game in which all the deuces are wild, making it easier to create winning poker hands, and, most exciting of all, it has a progressive jackpot that starts big and keeps getting bigger. If you bet the max five coins and get a Diamond Royal Flush, the big jackpot is yours in the online progressive video poker game.
The Thrill of Online Video Poker
Online video poker is an easy way to combine the thrill of playing poker with the ease of playing an online slot machine. Instead of looking for cherries or bars, you are trying to end up with a winning poker hand. There are no other players to bluff and beat. If you end up with a winning hand, you win no matter what. That's what gives this game so much appeal. It is a quick, fun poker ride.
In Jackpot Deuces online video poker, the deuces are wild and can be substituted for any other card to form a winning combination.
Jackpot Deuces: A Progressive Online Video Poker Game
One thing that sets Jackpot Deuces apart from all other online video poker games is that it is a progressive online video poker match. That means that the big jackpot – which you are eligible for if you bet five coins – keeps growing as people around the world play. You can always see the current value of the progressive jackpot on the screen while you play. If someone gets a hand that forms a diamond royal flush, then they win all the money in the big, progressive pot. The jackpot resets and immediately starts building up again.
Basic Rules of Jackpot Deuces Online Video Poker
Jackpot Deuces uses a standard 52-card deck. Whenever you get a Deuce (a two-value card), it is automatically becomes the card that can help you most. This is automatic so you don't have to worry about figuring out yourself what value will help you most. This way you always know that you will get the highest possible payout for the cards you are holding.
Payouts of Jackpot Deuces Online Video Poker
Even if you don't win the huge progressive jackpot, you can still do very well in Jackpot Deuces online video poker. For example, a Royal Flush (not diamonds) will pay out 4,000 credits on a 5-credit bet. A Full House, a Straight, and a Flush all have nice payouts. Just check out the game for a complete pay out table.

I'm seeking an aternative PC game like rocksmith, because no need for me to buy a xbox360 only wanna play this game. May be in the future an online game of the same type will come out.Think about a game named Audition Dance Battle Online, when you fight and paly with a real guitar online instead of boring keybord, that is very cool.
@ubisoft. There is no "confusion" about release dates. Almost every date that has ever been mentioned has been posted by Ubisoft and then retracted. Yes, there are communication issues, but they are not the fault of retailers. Ubisoft Brass has been very vocal on their dislike of PC users. This is just more evidence.
That said, I was patiently waiting for a PC release until Christmas of 2011 when I saw an excellent deal on a PS3 so I picked up the bundle and do not regret it. Everything cost me less than buying a guitar and amp so I'm satisfied. I still want the PC version but I think something better will be released long before Ubisoft releases a PC version even though the original software base was designed for PC/Mac. How are these "porting" problems?
I used to visit these forums multiple times a day. The community is great and the forum managers are top-notch. Unfortunately, the managers here are being lied to more than we are and I have cut back my forum use to checking on push-back dates. Good luck with the "port."
There is alot of bellyaching about this PC version not coming out when the kids want it to. And those people are whining and complaining about the DLC. What you think Ubi is going to give the PC version better DLC.. PLEASE.... There will be someone out there that gets the PC version and starts crying that their PC can't play the game or they blame it all on Ubi for not making the PC version specifically for their outdated POS PC. PC games have way too many variables to account for.
None of the other guitar games had any DLC worth a crap till they were well into their second year. and to get the newer songs you had to buy another game. I have all those games as well, their great for parties and playing with your kids and maybe, just maybe building some hand & eye coordination.
I am sure that some of the reason for the lack of the DLC your looking for is that some of the bands are still tied up in contracts with the other games. And there are the bands that want large sums of cash from RS for their music rights. Alot of the bigger bands were very skeptical of the other games in the beginning as well!
I've tried most all the other types of learning tools there are out there. The closest thing that could touch the Rocksmith game could only slow down the backing track and tab so you could play the harder parts slower. And if you haven't played the song in a while and are rusty you end up having to jack around with the program all over again. RS just dials back the song for you on the fly until you can get caught back up. Nothing else out there does that! There are alot of things out there that are basically the equivalent of trying to tossing a Yard Dart (if you don't know what that is Google it) at a leaf and hoping you can hit it. They only let you progress at their pace. And what about all the amps, effects and backing tracks that come packaged in RS. Those are all separate programs you "usually" (not always) have to buy separately to use with the various programs.
If RS didn't release any more DLC and Ubi stopped supporting the game. I would still continue playing it just as it is right now.
Speaking of which:
Want my money? Give me what I want for it. I'm not competing with other consumers for this game. The company that publishes this game is competing with other corporations for my money.

Three low-cost, easy projects for creating unique DIY garments
One of the biggest curses of do-it-yourself projects is that they can look so ... um ... homemade. Some people like that. Legions of DIYers embrace a certain prideful shabby chicness. They like declaring their aesthetic with anti-cookie cutter, non-factory-made garb with all its quirky imperfection. But that's not exactly one-style-fits-all. Some of us prefer that you mistake our unique garment for high-end eccentricity, not shabby, just chic. Plenty of DIY fans want the look and feel of designer goods, but they don't want to have to apprentice on Savile Row for a summer to do it.
Fear not. We've consulted with a few designers about quick and easy projects that have the look and feel of polished attire. It's a great way to revamp items you already own or craft a show-stopping piece from something simple that you bought secondhand on the cheap.
And here's the bonus: All of these projects can be completed in 30 minutes to an hour. Designer Wynette Jones of the Studio Place created and styled these projects with some ideas and materials contributed by sewing teacher and designer Deborah Waldman-Pontious.
It's the perfect trifecta: low-skill, low-cost, high-impact.
Project: Look-at-me coat
Materials: Wool coat, heavy patterned fabric (upholstery fabric is recommended), double-sided interfacing (Wonder-Under sells for $3.99-a-yard at JoAnn's Fabric & Craft Stores), sharp fabric scissors, pressing cloth (this can also be a piece of muslin, old cotton tea towel or bed sheet), iron.
How to:
1. Cut out the pattern from the fabric, or if you want to go minimal, cut out shapes from a coordinating plain fabric.
2. Play around with placement and shapes. Asymmetrical placements will probably look a little more interesting and unexpected visually. Pin it first and try it on to see how you like it. Don't forget the back; more expensive garments will extend the pattern to the rear. You want to leave an impression when you walk away. Remove buttons and then add them back on top of the pattern to make it look more integrated. Consider mixing or layering, larger and smaller patterns. If you have to paste over a pocket to get the look you want, just make a slit in the design to accommodate the opening.
3. Trace the finished pattern on top of the interfacing and use that as a guide for cutting.
4. Layer the interfacing and pattern and then drape the pressing cloth over it to keep the heat from altering the finish of the coat. Iron.
5. Optional: Finish the design by doing a simple hand-stitch around the edges with a thick embroidery thread, perhaps in a contrasting color.
Project: Mullet skirt to party dress
Materials: Mullet skirt (also called high-low skirt because it's high in front, low in back), 2-inch satin bifolded ribbon (suggested but you could use a narrower or wider fold), sharp fabric scissors, Stitch Witchery or other double-sided interfacing (we chose the lighter interfacing because the skirt is silk), iron, pressing cloth. Optional: A snap closure ($3.34 for six), a hook-and-eye closure if you don't have one on the skirt already, material for straps.
How to:
1. Test the fit and see if you can wear the skirt under your arms. If it fits nicely but not too snug, you're in business. You might consider straps if it's a little too loose or a "cut-out look" if it's too tight to zip all the way up. We'll discuss that in the optional step.
2. Add the bifolded ribbon onto the top hem of the skirt. It will encase the hem front and back. Leave an opening for the back zipper (you'll need to do something slightly different for the cut-out; see below). Don't use a skirt with an elastic waist unless you've got more time and patience, because that will be a tricky operation.
3. Cut out enough interfacing to tack down the ribbon inside and outside.
4. Use your pressing cloth and iron it in place.
5. If the top lacks a hook-and-eye closure, add one.
6. Trim the mullet by laying the dress flat, folded in half sideways. You'll see the curve, and you will have an easier time trimming. Use a ruler to make a few guide marks if you need to. You can also opt for an asymmetrical shape. We made ours slightly lower on the sides and nearly the same length front and back. Whatever you do we recommend going for something less drastic to keep it classic.
7. Optional straps: You can use the same ribbon folded smaller or a simple spaghetti strap made from trim or ribbon. Depending on the look you're going for, you could even try a halter or one-shoulder dress.
8. Optional: If the skirt doesn't fit under the arms, create a back cut-out detail if it's not more than a 4- to 6-inch-wide gap. First zip the back up as far as it's comfortable and then move the hook-and-eye down to that point or add a hook-and-eye closure to keep the zipper up. Now, depending on how noticeable it looks, you might be able to just cut the teeth that you don't need any more off the zipper. By not removing the useless zipper track with a seam ripper, you'll save some serious time, and you'll still have that lovely finished hem. If you have to take a seam ripper to the zipper tracks, you'll have to add in some interfacing and likely replace those removed stitches. If you opt for cutting the teeth, your next step is to add a snap or another hook-and-eye closure to the ribbon. For this version, you'll have to measure the ribbon longer than the hem of the skirt. It will stretch around the top of the bodice and create an inverted triangle opening above the stopped zipper. The back of your dress will now have three closures – the zipper, hook-and-eye above stopped zipper and the hook-and-eye or snap closure for ribbon.
9. Optional finishing details: Leave the hem raw if that suits you or turn it over slightly and iron a smallish hem into the garment, then use your interfacing and a simple hand-stitch you can research on YouTube. You can use the same on the ribbon to finish a band across the top of the garment.
Project: Summer dress to year-round skirt
Materials: Pretty spring-summer dress (preferably one with a belt), heavy double-sided interfacing, scissors, pressing cloth. Optional: Needle and thread to move the hook-and-eye closure or add one, embroidery hoop ($2.95), needle and thread (99 cents).
How to:
1. Take a summer dress that you're bored of but still love its pattern and start by simply tucking in the top to see how it looks as a skirt. It will probably sit a little lower on your hips. If you like the hemline, decide on whether you want to fold the top all the way down to create a more traditional waistband, or you could opt to fold it higher up for a high-waisted look or trash bag waist, which is cuter than it sounds.
2. Cut the excess, but keep the belt loops if you can. Note: You might have enough left of the top to create a crop top if that's your thing.
3. Cut the extra teeth from the zipper instead of removing if possible.
4. Fold down, add the heavy interfacing and iron with the pressing cloth.
5. Move the hook-and-eye to match the new zipper height.
6. Optional: Hand-stitch the inside seams to give your look a longer lasting finish.
7. Optional: Use the embroidery materials to trace a few of the design elements if there is a pattern.

Insurance principles floatedNovember 2009
Work could soon begin on United Nations-backed 'principles for sustainable insurance' created for the global insurance industry.
The idea for the principles has been floated by the UN Environment Programme's Finance Initiative (Unepfi), which was instrumental in producing the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2006.
Unepfi suggested the move at its annual global roundtable in Cape Town last month, maintaining they would provide a much-needed 'global sustainability framework' for insurance companies and might galvanize the industry into action.
It said the principles should be along similar lines to the PRI, which commits signatories to consider corporate responsibility in investment decisions.
A new Unepfi study says the $4.2trillion (£2.6tn) insurance industry pays too little attention to sustainability issues even though they present a 'substantial and pervasive' risk to the sector.
Its survey of more than 200 senior insurance industry executives around the globe, including many chief underwriting officers, found that only about a third felt environmental, social and governance factors influenced their underwriting.
Similarly, only a third systematically analysed, integrated and managed the risks in areas such as product development, claims management, sales and marketing, underwriting and investment.
The proposal for a set of principles for sustainable insurance has partly come from a Unepfi working group on insurance which includes representatives from 18 global insurance companies, including Allianz, Axa, and Swiss Re.
An investment management company that was de-listed from the PRI has been readmitted after successfully completing the initiative's annual reporting and assessment process. Cape Town-based Oasis Asset Management was one of five signatories de-listed in August for failing to take part in the mandatory process (EP11, issue 4, p8). The other four are still de-listed.

Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of hallowed hockey hero Wayne Gretzky, used to have a Twitter page full of borderline raunchy photos of herself and her equally hot friends partying and in various stages of undress.
But the Great One put a stop to it, apparently.
Shortly before she shut her page down, she tweeted: "Having a nice sit-down dinner with my dad about social media. Haha."
We're guessing that conversation went something like this:
Wayne: "Stop posting naked pictures of yourself on the Internet or I will kill you."
Paulina: "Sorry dad."
Wayne scored more assists than any other NHL player scored total points. But he doesn't want to see his daughter scoring on Twitter.
One of the main reasons Wayne wanted her to shut it down (aside from millions of guys gawking at his half-naked daughter) was that he is currently in a bid to buy the Toronto Maple Leafs and doesn't need any distractions from his daughter to muddle the deal.
Now, when you try to go to Twitter.com/PaulinaGretzky you get a "Sorry that page doesn't exist" notification. Which is causing almost as much sadness as when Wayne himself retired.
Wayne has never come out and publicly said anything about his daughter's Twitter page, but you can probably assume he wasn't a fan, even if he wasn't going to be buying the Leafs.
We'll see what the 22-year old will come up with next becasue she clearly likes the camera and will need to find an outlet in her attempt to become the next Kim Kardashian. If her dad's deal falls through, we'd expect this page to be back up the following day. Or maybe she can parlay it into a TV show, which would undoubtedly be more popular than her dad's sport.
If you missed some of her photos, here's a few of the best ones. As you can see, she's a fan of the duckface, and of the hipstamatic. And of not wearing clothes:

Live football streaming: Watch Lazio v Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-final 2nd leg
Watch Lazio v Juventus in the Coppa Italia on our live football online video streaming service via Bet365.
There is everything to play for in the Stadio Olimpico this evening (January 29, 2013, kick off: 19.45 GMT) as Lazio and Juventus are locked at 1-1 from last week's Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.
Bet365 are showing Lazio v Juventus live, legal and straight onto your computer via 101 Great Goals. Simply click on this link or the Live Streaming tab above and follow the simple step-by-step instructions to watch.
NOTE: Be aware that Bet365 have some geographical restrictions on this broadcast, whilst those without a Bet365 account will need to deposit money in an account to watch the match.
Lazio v Juventus is available via the Bet365 streaming service in the UK, Ireland and Germany, but cannot be watched in China, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania.
Stefano Mauri's late equaliser for Lazio gives the Rome side an advantage going into the second leg, meaning Juventus have to score at least once to grab a place in the Coppa Italia final.
Lazio are still without Miroslav Klose due to a muscular injury and the side from the Italian capital haven't beaten the Old Lady since April 2009 – losing six of their last nine clashes with Juventus.
Juventus are tipped to start with two up front, in Sebastian Giovinco and Fabio Quagliarella, as they chase the game and they will be eager to improve on some patchy recent form which have included three 1-1 draws in their last four matches.
Andrea Pirlo is still yet to return from injury so much of the midfield responsibility will rest upon former Manchester United starlet Paul Pogba.
Delicately poised, this second leg should be a cracker, for the right to meet Roma or Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia.
Watch Lazio v Juventus live, legal and online via Bet365 here.

PRICHARD, Alabama -- A cleanup will be held Saturday to spruce up Prichard Stadium in time for the start of football season, officials said this week.
Volunteers are asked to be at the stadium at 7 a.m. and continue until the work is completed, Grenatta Ward, the city's director of parks and recreation, said Tuesday.
Copper thieves recently caused heavy damage to the stadium's restrooms, removing plumbing and breaking toilets, all of which must be replaced.
The work includes painting the stadium, bleaching and power washing, preparing the field, cutting and pruning, "the whole 9 yards," said Ward, adding that the effort is the first phase of an overall effort to clean up the city.
Participants are asked to bring gloves, brooms, bleach, paint brushes, protective eyewear and anything else needed for yard work and heavy cleaning tasks.
The first game that will be played in the stadium will be Aug. 31 when Vigor and Davidson high schools meet.
Ward said that she hopes the work in the bathrooms will be completed before volunteers arrive.
Anyone can volunteer: Church groups, fraternity and sorority chapters, civic organizations, neighborhoods groups, families, reunion classes. Groups are encouraged to wear T-shirts identifying their organization, Ward said.
Prichard Mayor Ron Davis said that the cleanup was planned before the vandalism occurred.
"There is a lot of work that needs to be done with painting and cleaning and a lot of beautification that we want to do, so we hope that people will come help us on Saturday," Davis said.
Davis said that water, soft drinks, Conecuh sausage and fried fish will be provided, paid for with private funds.

|[CQ-Contest] QTC Thoughts
|email@example.com (Ron Notarius WN3VAW)
|Sat Oct 19 17:39:18 2002
In the aftermath of one of my favorite state QSO parties, the post-contest discussion every year turns to things that could be done to make it better next year. A relatively new contester has been pushing, hard, for the contest to add something similar to the QTC report used in the WAE contest, to help spice up Sunday operating (since Sunday late mornings and early afternoons are often slow going). So far, the response has been very strong -- against the idea. However, I want to be fair. So even though I've operated in the WAE and have my own opinion of this proposal, I'm curious as to what other experienced contesters might think. So, the question is: What do you think of a state QSO party adding a WAE-style QTC report? Is it something that would spice up the contest, or something that would work against it? Please reply direct, and after a few days, I'll post a summary. Thanks! 73, ron wn3vaw "Be who you are, say what you think, people that matter don't care, and people that care don't matter." -- Dr. Seuss

Check Out a State of the Union House Party in Your Neighborhood

text: yesterday I finally got the call from the aquariumshop. My octo had arrived! it's supposed to be a vulgaris. although the shop owner wasn't sure. he's still very tiny, arms are about 15cm long,body is +-2cm in diameter his tank already contained live foods like small crabs, shrimp, mussels,... But since I had expected him to be a bit bigger, I took some of the largest crabs out, just to be on the safe side. don't want him to lose a limb or worse. :( when I put him in, he looked around for a short while and then hid under one of the rocks. this morning he's relocated but I can't find out where, too many rocks and shells and stuff to hide But I found an empty crabshell that wasn't there last night. maybe he already had a snack as soon as I have some pics I'll post them

If you have been ticketed or arrested in the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, you want an experienced lawyer to defend your rights in court. While Sandy Springs' court is fairly young, established in 2005, the court has the power to conduct trials on local ordinance charges as well as some state law charges. This means that Sandy Springs tickets and charges can carry anywhere between 6-12 months in jail and up to $1000.00 fines per charge. Additionally, Sandy Springs Police are tough on DUI charges. If you have an upcoming court date for a DUI, it pays to have a lawyer who knows the Sandy Springs Municipal Court well.
2016 DUI Updates:
State v. KJ: In a one-day jury trial, a Forsyth County jury found the client Not Guilty of Boating Under the Influence of Alcohol. While the arresting offer testified to client having normal speech, eyes, and overall appearance, they also stated the client failed almost all field sobriety tests including the HGN (eye test), hand pat, alphabet recitation, and finger count.

Since 2002, Mayo Clinic has been a leader in integrating massage therapy into the hospital experience. Mayo researchers performed multiple studies proving the safety and benefit of massage therapy for many different types of surgeries and procedures.
Because hospital patients may have surgical wounds and medical equipment attached to them — such as intravenous lines or chest drains — Mayo Clinic has developed a training program to prepare massage therapists for this type of work.
Each year, medical professionals at Mayo Clinic provide inpatient and outpatient massage to thousands of people dealing with problems ranging from a cancer diagnosis to a sports injury.

In April 2010, McDonald's helped cement the realization that if franchises want to continue succeeding in this consumer-driven world, they must get involved in social media.
According to Advertising Age, the hamburger giant ramped up its efforts by naming a director of social media, its first. The new director is tasked with using social media to build the business, manage customer problems, and beef up outreach to their target groups. This is exactly what every franchisee can--and should--be using social media to do.
Today your customers are online. They are connecting with their friends on Facebook, chatting up brands on Twitter, and spending quality time with companies through videos on YouTube. They are writing and reading blogs, listening to and participating in podcasts, and connecting on LinkedIn. If you want to reach them, you need to be there as well.
Social media can seem overwhelming. But by taking the time to do your research, you can choose the networks that are right for you and your audience. The first place to start is to learn the difference between the different types of channels.
The whole point of brands getting involved in social media is to connect with their target audience. Do you know where your target audience is? If you are a daycare franchisee and looking for potential new clients, take the time to research where busy moms and others are connecting online. Are you trying to drive people into your stores to try your new sub sandwich? Before you can effectively market to them through social media you must learn where those sub lovers are connecting online. Some great places to find demographics include Quantcast and Oneupweb's Pretty Good Scenario Survival Guide: Social Media, available at oneupweb.com.
One of the things many companies get entirely wrong about social media is that it's easy to set up and free to use, something your 14-year-old daughter can help you with. Please, don't make that mistake. Effective social media campaigns require a clearly defined strategy. You must determine what your goals are, consider the time and resources you have available to help you reach those goals, and understand how the social media campaign will be integrated into all of your other marketing tactics. And don't forget, you also need to determine how you will measure success. And remember, it's okay to ask for help.

Fujitsu Announces Check Scanning Capabilities for QuickBooks 2010
Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Enables Small Businesses to Scan Checks Directly into Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks
Oct 28, 2009, 08:00 ET from Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., the market leader in document imaging scanners and services, today announced that Intuit Inc. will offer the company's award-winning Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 scanning solution to be used with Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks®, an add-on check processing service for QuickBooks 2010. Together, these solutions provide small businesses with an efficient way to scan paper checks into QuickBooks 2010 so they can skip the bank lines and start depositing checks electronically.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 gives customers a cost-effective, flexible check scanning solution designed to work with Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 and the Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks service are both available via the Intuit website at: http://payments.intuit.com/products/quickbooks-payment-solutions/ach.jsp. To update your ScanSnap S300 scanner drivers to take advantage of this new service, visit: http://scansnapcommunity.com/intuit/downloads/.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 scanning solution is the world's smallest color, duplex automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner. With an ultra-compact footprint measuring a mere 11.2" x 3.7" x 3.0" and weighing less than 3.1 lbs, the ScanSnap S300 is the most advanced scanner designed to meet the needs of small businesses, home office users, mobile business professionals and consumers alike. The ScanSnap S300 allows users to scan up to 10 checks per minute with Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks, eliminating almost all the time spent manually depositing and accounting for check payments.
"Fujitsu and Intuit are making it easier than ever for small businesses to scan checks and securely deposit them to the bank online - when it's convenient for them," said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Through this integrated offering, users can simply drop their paper checks into the ScanSnap S300, electronically capture the information for verification, and then automatically route the data into QuickBooks for check deposit into their bank account online."
Paperless deposits, or Remote Deposit Capture (RDC), became possible with the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act - known as Check 21 - in 2004. Remote Deposit Capture, in simple terms, is a service allowing users to scan checks and transmit the scanned images and/or Automated Clearing House (ACH) data to a bank for posting and clearing. The Fujitsu and Intuit check scanning solutions are fully compliant with Remote Deposit Capture rules and regulations. For more detailed background on Check 21 and RDC visit: http://payments.intuit.com/products/quickbooks-payment-solutions/ach.jsp (in the "About Checks" tab).
Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Scanner: Scan More Than Just Checks
While the Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 takes pride in its ability to scan checks, its advanced features and functionality give customers the added benefit of a complete desktop scanning solution for paper documents, receipts, bills, invoices and business cards anywhere they go. The ScanSnap S300 is small enough to fit in a briefcase or laptop bag, making it a great productivity tool for business professionals.
The ScanSnap S300 offers the fastest "one-touch" conversion of paper documents into searchable Adobe® portable document format (PDF) files available today in the mobile scanning industry. Users simply load a stack of up to 10 documents into the ADF and press the "SCAN" button to produce searchable PDF files at speeds of up to 8 pages per minute (ppm) for single-sided documents and 16 images per minute (ipm) for double-sided documents. The ScanSnap S300 scanner can be powered from a USB connection on a PC, allowing users to scan their documents and business cards anywhere they go. The ScanSnap S300 is also equipped with innovative features such as double-sided color scanning, automatic blank-page detection and deletion, skew correction and paper-size detection to easily help users go paperless, store valuable paper documents, or simply get rid of clutter.
Pricing & Availability
To process checks within QuickBooks Pro or Premier 2010 (starting a $199.95 at http://quickbooks.intuit.com), users need Intuit Check Solution for QuickBooks, an add-on service that is available at a monthly service fee of $19.95 and $0.23 per check transaction. Existing Intuit Payment Solutions customers can add the check solution service for an additional $9.95 per month to their existing merchant service account.

Photographer's Note
Half Moon Bay is a coastal city in San Mateo County, California, United States. Its population was 11,324 as of the 2010 census. Immediately at the north of Half Moon Bay is the Pillar Point Harbor and the unincorporated community of Princeton-by-the-Sea. The urban area had a population of 20,713 at the same census.
Half Moon Bay began as a rural agriculture area, primarily used for grazing of cattle, horses, and oxen used by Mission San Francisco de Asis (established in June 1776). Following the secularization of the Mission, Tiburcio Vásquez received the Rancho Corral de Tierra Mexican land grant in 1839 and Candelario Miramontes was granted Rancho Miramontes (later known as Rancho San Benito) in 1841.
The community began to develop in the 1840s as the first real town in San Mateo County. Known originally as San Benito, the town was renamed Spanishtown and attracted a thriving fishing industry in addition to its continued importance to coastal agriculture. Spanishtown became a racially diverse community, settled by Canadians, Chinese, English, Germans, Irish, Mexicans, Italians, Scots, Portuguese, and Pacific Islanders. Regular stagecoach service was established with San Mateo; coaches also served the communities of Purissima, Lobitos, and San Gregorio. Levy Brothers opened a department store in downtown Half Moon Bay. Spanishtown was officially renamed Half Moon Bay in 1874.
The area grew very slowly, even after the Ocean Shore Railroad began serving the community in 1907. The construction of Pedro Mountain Road in 1914 provided better access to San Francisco and probably contributed to the demise of the railroad by 1920. The USS DeLong ran aground at Half Moon Bay 1 December 1921. During Prohibition "rum runners" took advantage of dense fog and hidden coves in the area to serve a number of roadhouses and inns, some of which operate today as restaurants. Real growth in the area came after World War II with the construction of numerous subdivisions, eventually leading to the incorporation of Half Moon Bay in 1959. The city preserves a historic downtown district which includes historic buildings dating as far back as 1869.
Due to the financial setbacks from a large legal settlement and a poor economy, Half Moon Bay is currently considering major cuts to city services and possibly disincorporating.[2][needs update] Under a disincorporation plan, Half Moon Bay would revert to an unincorporated area within San Mateo County. Tax revenues would flow to the county, which would remain responsible for police and road maintenance. Current Half Moon Bay residents would remain responsible for the bond payments resulting from the legal settlement, which would be added as a lien on their properties.
Half Moon Bay is featured in various shots of the music video for "Not As We" by Alanis Morissette.

Hi Brano, The sea waves hitting the coast provides a vivid mood to the image. I like the rocks on the beach which framed the sea lovely. You have captured the shape of this Half Moon Bay at the best angle which emphasises its shape perfectly. Wonderful DOF and natural colours. Thank for sharing

Levy, who has also worked at NBC, joined MTV in 2008 from Film44, where he was a development executive and producer on "Friday Night Lights." Spencer joined MTV in 2010 from The WB Network, where he served as vice president, drama development.

This item most often bought with: First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test.
It seems that pregnancy prevention just became that much easier. With the announcement last year that Plan B One-Step emergency contraception would be available to all women, regardless of age, without a prescription, certain Amazon vendors took notice.
Simply Positive Supplements, a vendor of all things from SD memory cards to Beanie Babies, has added Plan B One-Step to its storefront. The shop has the pill listed for only $20, a significantly more accessible price than the $50 and awkward cashier experience you'll face when going to the closest Duane Reade.
Concerns of placebo pills being put into the packets did come up from commenters on the Reddit thread where the discovery was first posted, which is obviously a warranted concern based on how the Internet (unfortunately) works sometimes. Plus, one-day shipping is currently unavailable on this particular listing unless you're a Prime member which may defeat the purpose of buying Plan B in the first place, since the effectiveness of the pill drops off at around 72 hours and you and I both know that Amazon shipping is hit or miss with timing.
So, until Amazon drones are a real thing, maybe just heading over to your nearest pharmacy is a better idea, just saying.

OMG! Insider co-anchor Kevin Frazier and Actress Keke Palmer congratulate Education Honoree Haywood Galbreath, a history-making photojournalist for his work with the youth
The Ford Freedom Unsung Awards is part of Ford Motor Company Fund's ongoing commitment to honor distinguished Americans who dedicate their lives to improving their communities and the world. Awards are given in five categories: Community, Education, Military, Youth and Organization. Twenty deserving people from the Southern California area were honored at the Grammy Museum on June 19, 2013.
Kevin Frazier, co-anchor of "OMG! Insider , hosted the second annual community event. Award-winning actress KeKe Palmer, known for her commitment to bullying prevention and other youth issues, served as the program's youth ambassador. The recognition program included a special performance by actor/singer/activist Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Haywood Galbreath was one of the 20 winners for his work in the category of education. "It is a great honor to be selected among more than 130 nominees and to receive a national recognition for my work with the youth," said Galbreath, a 29-year veteran as an award-winning photojournalist and the founder of the Minority Photo/Journalism Institute (MPJI), a nonprofit organization.
An advocate of transference of knowledge, Galbreath has dedicated his life to teaching young people about photojournalism and broadcasting. "I recognized the pull of gang life and other antisocial behavior that plagues the youth, especially those of color, and saw professional involvement in an occupation that will build up their self-esteem, as well as, increase their knowledge of communication skills, as a means of countering the negative influences of society," says Galbreath.
He teaches the youth the skills needed to pursue a career in photo journalism and broadcasting. "For nearly 10 years, I have taught students to be productive and positive citizens through visual, written, and verbal communication skills," he states. In spite of the students' limited resources, it has not stopped him from unselfishly permitting his students to use his high-end digital cameras for training. To meet the needs of his growing institute, Galbreath continues efforts to raise funds to purchase the latest photography equipment, computers, and printers for the students for training. Haywood opened a photo exhibit at the African American Museum of Art that includes the sale of 60 of the historical photos to raise funds for much-needed equipment for the students. His exhibit closes on June 30, 2013.
Galbreath, as a role model to the youth and through his numerous accomplishments, sets an exemplary example of what can be achieved with the right education, guidance, and perseverance. Just to name a few of his "first" accomplishments, Galbreath was the only member of the African-American media to accompany President George Bush on his historic trip to South Central Los Angeles in April 2002, the only African-American owned news service to have a continuous field position for the Super Bowl, and the first African-American owned news photo service to cover the prestigious Breeders' Cup.
Galbreath is a history-making African American news photographer of the 20th Century. Because of his dedication for equality among America's Black Press, Galbreath was given all-access and became the only photojournalist in the world to photograph on a daily basis the biggest criminal trial and news media event of the 20th century – the O.J. Simpson trial. To book Galbreath for appearances, speaking engagements, or inquiries about his photo exhibit, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

An uncle who had custody of a 22-month-old Modesto Blanco, the toddler who died Sunday from a head injury, was arrested Friday on a charge of injury to a child, police said.
The charge against Gilbert Escobedo stems from an injury to one of Modesto's brothers, police Lt. Randy McGuire said.
Escobedo was booked Friday on one count of injury to a child. He was being held at Lubbock County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond, Sheriff's Lt. Mike Nichols said.
Modesto and three siblings, ages 6 months to 5 years, were placed in the home of Gracie and Gilbert Escobedo by Child Protective Services after being removed from their parents' home, CPS spokeswoman Holly Campidilli said earlier this week.
Two officers responded to the Escobedos' home at 10:41 p.m. Saturday to a call of a drowning infant vomiting blood, according to a search warrant issued Monday.
They found Modesto unconscious on the living room floor. They began cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Modesto died at 3:14 a.m. Sunday at University Medical Center, according to the warrant.
According to a search warrant, doctors reported bruising to Modesto's head, torso and extremities, a retinal hemorrhage in the left eye and burns on the body.
In addition, X-rays showed no evidence of fluid in the lung, according to the warrant.
The cause of death was listed as blunt force trauma to the head, according to the warrant.

Agent - Maicon tops City list
Maicon is top of Man City boss Roberto Mancini's summer wish-list, according to the Brazilian's agent.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 01/06/10 11:13pm
Maicon is top of Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini's summer wish-list, according to the Brazilian's agent.
The Inter Milan full-back has been linked with a move this summer having stood out in the Nerazzurri's treble-winning side this season.
Real Madrid have been reported as the Brazil international's most likely destination, with Jose Mourinho having just left Inter to take charge of the Spanish giants.
But Maicon's agent, Antonio Caliendo, claims Chelsea and Premier League rivals City are also firmly in the hunt.
Mancini signed the 28-year-old for Inter from Monaco in the summer of 2006 and Caliendo reckons a swoop for Maicon could spark City's latest spending spree.
"The situation is very clear - in life, everything is bought and sold, except love," he told calciomercato.it.
Decision time
"His future is being decided in the coming days.
"Have Chelsea revived their interest? As I've always said, there isn't only Real Madrid interested in Maicon.
"I don't neglect Manchester City either. Roberto Mancini has coached him and Maicon is the first name on the pad of the former Inter coach."

I am new on that forum so hello everybody.
I try to use ffmeg to stream video from my computer to my smartphone. So I I use ffserver to send images from my webcam first and then I would like to use OpenCV to send a processed image. But First I have trouble with the ffmeg server. I think I do somethink wrong.
I use that ffserver.conf file:
- Code: Select all
# Port on which the server is listening. You must select a different
# port from your standard HTTP web server if it is running on the same
# computer.
Port 8090
# Address on which the server is bound. Only useful if you have
# several network interfaces.
BindAddress 0.0.0.0
# Number of simultaneous HTTP connections that can be handled. It has
# to be defined *before* the MaxClients parameter, since it defines the
# MaxClients maximum limit.
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
# Number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. Since FFServer
# is very fast, it is more likely that you will want to leave this high
# and use MaxBandwidth, below.
MaxClients 1000
# This the maximum amount of kbit/sec that you are prepared to
# consume when streaming to clients.
MaxBandwidth 1000
# Access log file (uses standard Apache log file format)
# '-' is the standard output.
CustomLog -
# Suppress that if you want to launch ffserver as a daemon.
# Definition of the live feeds. Each live feed contains one video
# and/or audio sequence coming from an ffmpeg encoder or another
# ffserver. This sequence may be encoded simultaneously with several

<Feed feed1.ffm>
# You must use 'ffmpeg' to send a live feed to ffserver. In this
# example, you can type:
# ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
# ffserver can also do time shifting. It means that it can stream any
# previously recorded live stream. The request should contain:
# "http://xxxx?date=[YYYY-MM-DDT][[HH:]MM:]SS[.m...]".You must specify
I use my webcam as input video0:
- Code: Select all
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -s 320x240 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -c:a -f alsa -ac 0 -i http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
And there are that error:
- Code: Select all

Is there a problem in the configuration file?

In the Denver radio market, the morning show personalities who get the most attention are the naughtiest ones: the Peak's Howard Stern (last week he had an extended conversation with Sandra Bernhard about her fondness for anal sex), Alice's Jamie White and Danny Bonaduce (Jamie once told Sigourney Weaver that her husband used to "pleasure himself" to an Alien-era photo of the actress), and the Fox's Rick Lewis and Michael Floorwax, whose humor would be at home in locker rooms everywhere.
As it turns out, though, talking smack or tittering over groin-region body parts isn't necessarily a prerequisite for Denver radio success. Indeed, according to the most recent Arbitron trend reports, another drive-timer -- KBCO's Bret Saunders -- is the most-listened-to morning jock in the 25- to 54-year-old demographic the station targets and is running neck-and-neck with Stern in the eighteen- to 34-year-old demo that supposedly belongs to Howard by birthright. Moreover, Saunders has hit these heights without chortling about threesomes or enticing female guests to show him their mammaries.
Not that Saunders rejects humor -- far from it. The self-proclaimed radio "Sage" is probably the quickest-witted person on area airwaves at present, but he delivers his material in a smart, low-key manner that won't make anyone feel the slightest bit guilty for laughing at it. "I don't want to be considered to be someone who's lame or terrified of being controversial or shocking. I really admire Howard Stern -- and I mean it," Saunders insists. "But I guess my contention is that a lot of things like that are being done on the radio. To say that we're an antidote to that is probably too strong, and 'alternative' is a dead word. So just say we're doing something different."
Saunders's rising popularity mirrors that of KBCO (at 97.3 FM), which is back in favor after several years of wandering in the broadcasting wilderness. The outlet was the model for the A3 (adult album alternative) format; that's a big reason why the Gavin A3 Summit, an annual convention for folks who work in the genre, is held in Boulder, KBCO's hometown. But after KBCO, a onetime independent, was purchased by Jacor, a Kentucky firm that subsequently merged with Texas-based media conglomerate Clear Channel, the station went through an identity crisis symbolized by the ill-fated morning team of yukster Kerry Gray, who caused a stir after speculating during a guest stint on KOA that Jesus Christ could have been gay, and Rick Ashton, a standup comic with a style that made most regular KBCO boosters shudder (in one routine, he snickered that even he could punch out Muhammad Ali now that the former champ had Parkinson's disease).
Scott Arbough, KBCO's program director, is reluctant to call the Kerry and Ashton pairing the disaster that it was: "That show was a stepping stone to what we're doing now," he says. But while he argues that Gray is "a brilliant broadcaster," he acknowledges that "he didn't belong in this format. He had a bit too much edge for what we do."
So the powers-that-be turned to Saunders, 36, a poster child for eclecticism. Born Bret Julyk (a program director in Michigan christened him "Saunders" a decade ago) in Great Falls, Montana, he was raised in Detroit, where he picked up a fondness for a wide range of music that sprang from the city -- the Stooges, Parliament-Funkadelic, even Ted Nugent, about whom he can speak in staggering detail: "Last year they reissued Great Gonzos! with 'Yank Me, Crank Me' on it. That was the last truly great Ted Nugent song." But at the same time, he developed a taste for hardcore jazz and the avant-gardisms of performers as disparate as Captain Beefheart and John Cage.
Such open-mindedness served him well in the radio game, in which DJs have to seem enthusiastic about whatever music their current employer chooses to play no matter how repulsive it might be. Usually Saunders found a way to get something out of these experiences; while spinning at a country station, for instance, he discovered "these great, shit-kicking records by people like George Jones and Ernest Tubb, who I love. It was a fantastic cultural education." But even he had his limits. "Doing the adult contemporary thing in the early '90s, when New Kids on the Block were really hot and you had to play things by Taylor Dayne...Well, that music was just heinous to me."
In late 1993, Saunders was hired for the morning show at alterna-station KTCL during the heyday of Nirvana and the modern rockers who appeared in the act's wake. Almost immediately, he made his mark, earning plenty o' praise (and several Westword Best of Denver awards). After the station wound up in the Jacor/Clear Channel portfolio, corporate decision-makers realized they had a genuine talent on their hands, and when attempts to lift KTCL's generally middling ratings to the next level failed, they moved Saunders to the higher-profile KBCO job and charged him with mopping up the mess left by Kerry and Ashton. "He was kind of the morning-show joke guy on KTCL, but he was clearly highly intelligent and had a massive knowledge of music," Arbough explains. "And we thought he'd have more of an opportunity to display that at KBCO."
They were right. Saunders frequently does interviews with high-profile touring musicians (such as Tom Waits and Lou Reed) and local newsmakers like Governor Bill Owens, who some callers felt didn't belong on the station because of what they perceived as his backward stance on education issues (only in Boulder). And every Wednesday, he dons his Sage persona for trivia challenges that allow him to display a familiarity with pop-culture flotsam that's truly sick. Last week, a caller seemed absolutely positive that he'd be stumped by a question about Steely Dan's first album. But when Saunders noted that the band's alleged debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, was actually preceded by a soundtrack for the ultra-obscure 1971 flick You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It (Or You'll Lose That Beat) -- its co-stars included Robert Downey Sr. and Richard Pryor -- the air went out of his balloon mighty quick.
Saunders is so entertaining that it's a shame he has to be interrupted so often by much of the music KBCO is playing these days. The station continues to provide a place for worthy adult acts like Billy Bragg & Wilco and Shelby Lynne, and that's a very good thing -- but to hear them you've got to wade through a lot of white-dude blues by the likes of Robben Ford, loads of predictable "heritage" material, and new music that's often more heavily weighted toward veteran acts like Santana and Eric Clapton than emerging groups. KBCO supplements this mix on its Web site, www.kbco.com, with net radio streams spotlighting new music and archival faves, respectively, as well as Channel Sage, a new feature that gives Saunders the opportunity to program whatever tunes he wishes. Last week's maiden voyage, featuring tracks by Yo La Tengo, Belle and Sebastian and Serge Gainsbourg, was almost too good: Checking it out may leave listeners feeling depressed that KBCO itself won't air this stuff.
Thus far, Saunders hasn't gotten nervy enough to put any of his beloved jazz on Channel Sage, but fortunately he's got another outlet in this regard; following the death of much-revered Denver Post jazz scribe Jeff Bradley, Saunders was asked to contribute to the paper's music coverage, and his pieces to date have helped add some spice to a section desperately in need of it. He's also begun turning up on Show, the weekly Channel 4 entertainment program hosted by goggle-eyed Greg Moody. Given this plethora of media opportunities, there's no reason for him to go down the Stern-White-Floorwax road -- which is lucky for him, since he couldn't do it if he tried.
"I don't think I'd be able to say, 'That reminds me of your best booger joke, Bob,' and then leave a pause," he concedes. "So I'm lucky I don't have to."
The Dial Isn't Cast: Stern, meanwhile, won't have to learn how to speak Spanish just yet; the Justice Department refused to approve the previously announced sale of the Peak to Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation because Clear Channel, the company ordered to divest it, owns more than one-quarter of HBC. The Post headlined its article about this development "'Peak' Station to Keep Rocking," even though not even Chad Haldeman, the Peak's general manager (who'll become vice president of sales for six stations in Minneapolis-St. Paul as soon as transactions in Denver are completed), has the slightest idea whether it will be rocking, swinging or programming kazoo music in the future.
The next twist in the tale came just days after the HBC deal tanked: On June 15, Emmis Communications, an Indianapolis company that owns fifteen radio stations in the U.S., signed a letter of intent to purchase the Peak for $36 million (and a Clear Channel station in Phoenix for an additional $72 million). Emmis spokesperson Kate Healey declined to comment about what the Peak's format might eventually be, but she notes that the firm utilizes a variety of styles, including adult alternative in Chicago, country in St. Louis and urban in Los Angeles. "We don't believe in a cookie-cutter approach," she says. But whatever takes place should happen fast: Haldeman says Clear Channel wants to wrap things up during 2000's third quarter, which begins mere days from now. Until then, the company remains in an acquisitive mood, having just sucked up thirty stations from Roberts Radio L.L.C. (no relation -- damn it!), including two in Durango and one in Vail.

Still on the block is KKYD-AM, the local affiliate of the Catholic Radio Network, which collapsed earlier this month. (Apparently those billboards that advertised the outlet with the slogan "Hear No Evil" emblazoned over a wall of flames made people seek out evil rather than reject it.) KKYD general manager John Ramirez referred all questions about the station's future to John Bitting, CRN's Chicago-based chief operating officer, who did not return calls. But in a letter posted on the Web site www.catholicfamilyradio.com, Bitting claims that several of the defunct network's investors are interested in buying back some of the failed stations to continue Catholic programming. That should be a real test for the power of prayer.
Handle With Swear: In "Firing Line," the September 9, 1999, edition of this column, I referred to "Retired Judge Didn't Have Swearwithal to Act," a headline that ran on the front page of the September 1 Post as "tortured." So imagine my surprise when Dale Ulland, the author of that line, sent me a good-humored e-mail divulging that he'd recently won a third-place nod for headline writing in the prestigious Best of the West journalism awards, with the contest judge making particular note of a certain term: "The writer is being rewarded for not being afraid to make up the word 'swearwithal' to make the story work at the top of page one and to catch a reader's fancy."
"When I read your comment months ago, I SWORE that I would, down the road, get a little chuckle, if not the last laugh," Ulland writes -- and he certainly deserves a giggle or two. I'd join in, but I'm afraid I just don't have the swearwithal.
Whatever the hell that means.

Civil rights activist Medgar Wiley Evers was well aware of the dangers he would face when he challenged the status quo in Mississippi in the 1950s and '60s, a place and time known for the brutal murders of those who challenged the status quo. Nonetheless, Evers consistently investigated the rapes, murders, beatings, and lynchings of black Mississippians and reported them to a national audience, all the while organizing economic boycotts, sit-ins, and street protests in Jackson as the NAACP's first full-time Mississippi field secretary. He organized and participated in voting drives and nonviolent direct-action protests, joined lawsuits to overturn school segregation, and devoted himself to a career that cost him his life. This biography of a lesser-known but seminal civil rights leader draws on personal interviews from Evers's widow, his remaining siblings, friends, schoolmates, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual, leader, husband, brother, and father. His story is a testament to the important role that grassroots activism played in exacting social change.--From publisher description.

But moving earth, breaking concrete and cutting water lines to install each meter is the easy part. Setting up a fair plan for billing is the problem.

Orioles win slugfest at Arlington
Uehara gives up seven runs; Baltimore bats come alive
By Spencer Fordin / MLB.com
And despite all the offense, the game turned on defense. After Ian Kinsler stroked a leadoff double in the ninth inning, Michael Young hit a long fly ball to right field and Nick Markakis made a long run and a wall-defying catch to save the game. Closer George Sherrill took that extra life and escaped to earn the save.
"I just got a good jump on it and it stayed in the ballpark," said Markakis. "My first reaction was just get back there and try to get it any way you can. It stayed in the park just enough for me and it ended up in my glove."
"I was praying, because I've seen Michael do that too many times," added Baltimore catcher Gregg Zaun. "Just when you think you've got a good pitch on him, he'll flick one over that wall.
"Great catch and lucky break for us that Kinsler didn't tag up. Otherwise, we might still be playing."
The Orioles (5-2) had several offensive heroes, but the top half of the batting order stood out. Baltimore's top five hitters -- Brian Roberts, Adam Jones, Markakis, Aubrey Huff and Ty Wigginton -- combined to go 12-for-26 with nine RBIs and seven runs. Five Orioles had more than one hit and six drove in at least one run.
Much of that damage came against Texas starter Vicente Padilla, and the game turned on one extended rally. Baltimore was trailing 4-2 when the fourth inning started, but the Orioles logged five straight RBI hits to chase Padilla (1-1) and take command. Everyone from Roberts to Wigginton contributed in that stretch.
"It's typical for games here in Texas. It seems like no lead's safe," said Zaun. "Those guys can swing the bats and we didn't pitch real well tonight. It was nice to score a lot of runs. Thank God for the top half of the order."
Huff had perhaps the best day of all, getting four hits in the first five innings and driving in three runs. Roberts and Markakis also had big days at the plate, combining for five hits, five runs and three RBIs.
But Texas (3-4) refused to go away, battling back in the sixth and seventh innings. The Rangers loaded the bases against Koji Uehara with no outs in the sixth and scored all three runners on a hit and two groundouts. Then, in the seventh, Andruw Jones hit a two-run home run off Danys Baez to make it a one-run game.
Baltimore mixed and matched relievers to get through the eighth inning and turned to Sherrill with a one-run lead in the ninth. The southpaw dodged a bullet on the Markakis catch and got cleanup hitter Josh Hamilton to fly out. Then, after a walk and a double steal, Sherrill struck out Marlon Byrd to earn his third save.
Uehara, making just his second start in the Major Leagues, struggled with his command and control. The Orioles handed him a two-run lead in the first inning, but Uehara (2-0) gave it back immediately. Chris Davis tied the game on a home run in the second, and Young put the Rangers briefly ahead with a two-run shot in the third.
"I thought he was out of sync early with his delivery and his location," said manager Dave Trembley. "They forced his hand, they took a lot of pitches. He had seven three-ball counts, but he had 17 out of 24 first-pitch strikes, so after he got strike one they didn't bite. ... He was trying to expand the strike zone and they weren't going for it.
"He was pitching away to most of the right-handed pitchers and that wasn't working for him."
Trembley sent Uehara back out for the sixth inning, hoping that the veteran would be able to persevere with a six-run lead. Uehara sandwiched two walks around a double, though, and Baez couldn't strand the runners. Three innings later, the game -- which had enough offense to last a week -- came down to the Markakis catch.
The right fielder ran toward the wall at a dead sprint and was able to reach out and snare the ball seconds before hitting the wall. Markakis gathered himself and threw the ball in, holding Kinsler at second.
"I thought that was just a heckuva catch," said Trembley. "You're kind of playing a situation there where you're on the road. You're really not playing no doubles there. You're trying to take the hit away that's in front of you so maybe you can throw the guy out at the plate. Nicky got a real good break on it. That was one to remember."

My husband won't be called 'grandad'
Fiona Caine is here to help if you have a relationship, sexual, marriage or family problem
My husband has been like a father to my daughter for the past 25 years — much more so than her biological dad.
My daughter is expecting a baby next month and so I'm shocked by her decision that the baby won't be calling my partner 'grandad'.
As my husband has been there for almost all of her life, it seems so unfair — and I'm sure he'll be hurt.
I don't know how to tell him or what to say to my daughter. CH
If your husband isn't going to be known as 'grandad', have you asked your daughter what other name she wants her baby to use? It may be you've misunderstood her and that she simply doesn't like the term 'grandad'.
I can understand you feeling hurt for your husband but now is not the time to do anything about it.
She's in the late stages of her pregnancy and her emotions now will be all over the place.
Even after the baby is born, it won't be an issue until the child starts talking, so I should wait before having any further discussion about it.
In any case, children very often come up with their own names for family members.

Last week, Petr Michnev was named the PacWest Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Today, the Hawai'i Pacific star transcended his sport by being named the overall PacWest Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Michnev, regarded as one the best men's tennis players ever at HPU, has also dominated the academic awards. For the past two seasons he has earned a spot on the Capital One Academic All-District and All-American Teams. The Czech native was a graduate student working on his MBA with a 3.6 GPA.
On the court he was named an All-American in both singles and doubles this season, making him a seven-time All-American in his HPU career. Just this season, Michnev has already been named the PacWest Player of the Year (for the second consecutive year), the PacWest Tournament MVP (for the second consecutive year), and the West Region ITA Senior Player of the Year. He finished the season 15-2 in singles and ranked #2 in the nation. With Thibaud Berland, Michnev is ranked #2 in doubles with a 21-2 record.
The award was voted on by the league's 13 sports information directors. Michnev beat out the PacWest Scholar Athletes from baseball, men's basketball, men's cross country, men's golf, men's soccer and men's track and field.
Michnev is up for one more award in his storied career. The PacWest Male Athlete of the Year will be announced next week, which pits Michnev against eight other MVPs from various sports.
