text: The 2011 Bluefin season in North Lake, Prince Edward Island, with Tony's Tuna Fishing was another very successful year! The BFT hook-ups this season year ranged from 600-1200 lbs - on a daily basis! Between the Princess Nova and L'il Miss Maddy, we kept and brought in eight giants and all the rest were catch and release. We have seen a substantial increase, year after year, in the number of tuna in our waters during the July to mid October timeframe for the past five years. We believe that this is largely due to the tuna following mackerel, herring, and squid in our waters. We have seen an up-tick in the abundance of these smaller fish over the past few years, to the point at which you can hook mackerel almost anywhere you stop off North Lake, PEI. We don't know about the bait fish supply in other areas that these giants migrate through, but we are curious if others are observing the same pattern. We have been using the Okuma Makaira MK-80W-II reels for the past two years, and have had great success with them. Some of these reels have been in action with 40 to 50 giants each without seeing servicing yet (although they will be this winterJ) and held up perfectly. The drags are very durable, and we can still put 70 pounds of drag on these reels with no issues. Other reels we have used in the past heat up during the fight, some of which we have had to pour water on to cool them down. The problem that we have seen with these other reel brands is when the drag components do heat up, they start to bind up and the reel becomes quite jumpy, eventually leading to line breakage due to inconsistent drag pressure. The Okuma reels stay cool throughout the whole fight, sometimes up to three hours, with consistently smooth performance. We recommend the Okuma Makaira MK-80W-II to anyone who is in the market for an 80 series reel and looking to hunt big game like the giant BFT. If it will hold up here in PEI, it will hold up anywhere! As for our tackle, we use Mustad Demon circle hooks and are very confident that we are inflicting minimal harm to the tuna by hooking them in the hinge of the jaw every time. These circle hooks are new to our fishery, but we are now finding a lot of our fellow commercial fishermen are using them instead of the traditional "J" hook, realizing that they are less detrimental to a fish that may break away during the fight without compromising your chances of getting them back to the boat. We had a very busy season, and thank everyone, both new and repeat customers, that fished with us and posted good reports for us on various forums. Our boats sailed every day for ten weeks, not allowing us much time for reports, so we relied on our clients to do that for us. Some of our more well known clients in 2011 included Charlie Wray of the Fishful Thinking Show, Dennis Braid, Steve Tagami from Mustad, Kil Song, John Devries from Seaguar, Brandon Cotton from Okuma, Youichi Mogi, and all the boys from Bloodydecks. We had a great time fishing with all our charters in 2011 and hope to see them back in 2012. Until then, tight lines to everyone. Rather than attaching pics here you can check out our FB page Thanks, Captain Tony and Bradley MacDonald www.facebook.com/TonysTunaFishing www.tonystunafishing.com

ATLANTA -- The No. 7 seeded Panthers of Clark Atlanta University was eliminated from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) basketball tournament with an 84-77 first round loss to the No. 2 seeded Tigers of Stillman College Tuesday.
Stillman led for much of the first period, before Jarrel Joye led the Panthers to their first lead of the half at the 3:30 mark, 31-29. The Tigers reclaimed the lead after an 11-5 run to take a 40-36 lead into halftime.
The Tigers (19-5) led by as many as eight points in the second half behind the play of Justin Harris, who scored 10 of his game-high 17 points in the period. With a slim two-point lead at the 3:00 mark, Stillman went on an 11-6 run and pulled away despite a frantic surge by the Panthers down the stretch. The Tigers outrebounded Clark Atlanta 47-32 on the boards with 24 offensive rebounds. Jarrel Joye led the Panthers with a team-high 16 points followed by Dwayne Bingham (15), Glyndelle Poole (16) and Kevin James and Johnnel Young with 11 each.
CAU ends the season with eight consecutive losses and a 4-23 overall record.

15 Foods That Are High In Potassium
Tomato sauces
Fresh tomatoes are great, but tomato paste and puree are better sources of potassium. One quarter cup of tomato paste delivers 664 mg of this vital mineral, while one half cup of puree comes in at 549 mg. Tomato juice itself has just over 400 mg. So if you love cooking with tomatoes and want to get more potassium into your diet, make spaghetti sauce more often!

Gail Russell was one of the most hauntingly beautiful women ever to appear in the movies. She was also a sensitive actress who was used to great effect in some wonderful movies. Unfortunately that touching sensitivity was a factor offscreen as well; Russell waged a long battle against shyness and stage fright. She "steadied her nerves" with alcohol, leading to a decline in her appearance and an early death at the age of 36.
Russell was born in Chicago on September 21, 1924. Her family moved to California and in her late teens she signed with Paramount Pictures. She appeared in her first film, the programmer Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour (1943), at the age of 18.
Russell's star rose quickly; after a small role in Lady in the Dark (1944) she was given the plum role of Stella in the classic "haunted house" thriller The Uninvited (1944). Stella is gently romanced by a dashing older man (Ray Milland) who tries to understand the odd connection between Stella and the spooky home he's recently purchased.
The score for The Uninvited introduced a song named for Russell's character which became an American standard, the haunting "Stella By Starlight":
Russell's ethereal beauty was used to good effect in additional films with an other wordly quality, including The Unseen (1945) with Joel McCrea, Night Has a Thousand Eyes(1948) with John Lund and Edward G. Robinson, and Wake of the Red Witch (1948) with John Wayne.
Russell was well matched with Alan Ladd in Salty O'Rourke (1945) and Calcutta (1947), and she appeared opposite John Payne in El Paso (1949) and Captain China (1950).
Among the other memorable titles in Russell's relatively short but impressive career were Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (1944), in which she starred as Cornelia Otis Skinner, and its sequel, Our Hearts Were Growing Up (1946). The Bachleor's Daughters (1946) was a particularly well-made and original romantic comedy-drama, and Moonrise (1948) is a very highly regarded film noir which also starred Dane Clark.
My favorite Russell film has long been Angel and the Badman (1947), in which Russell and John Wayne played the title roles. Russell's Penny is a Quaker girl who is disarmingly direct about her feelings for Wayne's gunslinger, and in due course he can't stop from falling in love with the lovely Penny.
After Air Cadet (1951) Russell's career hit the skids due to her problems with alcohol. She was off the screen for several years when her good friend John Wayne invited her to appear in a Randolph Scott Western he was producing. The film happened to be Seven Men from Now (1956), now recognized as one of several classics made by Scott with director Budd Boetticher.

Tacoda's behavioral ad network will lead to more intent marketing
By Charlene Li
On the surface, Tacoda's ad network appears to solve a major headache of behavioral targeting, namely, that it's hard to get enough inventory of a segment like "technology enthusiast" at a single site to make it worthwhile for the marketer. With the network, marketers can buy text-based, cost-per-click ads and get distribution through Tacoda's network of publishers.
But the real potential behind Tacoda's network – and presumably, from other behavioral targeting/audience management providers like Revenue Science and AlmondNet – is that it could reverse the roles of publishers and marketers and make intent marketing more feasible for marketers.
Today, publishers announce that they have content and an audience that is attracted to that content – so if you're a marketer interested in that audience, the publisher will sell you access to those users in the form of advertising at a specified price. The onus falls to the marketer to figure out where the audience is, hence the important role of media buyers and ad agencies.
In the future, marketers will announce that they want to reach a certain segment – let's say, women in-market for a car – and are willing to pay $25 per qualified lead. The onus now falls to the publisher to deliver that audience to the marketer. Publishers will be able to see what the "bids" are within the system for a particular user profile and optimize their ad serving to maximize revenue per page.
This is the development of what I call "intent marketing" where the marketer targets intent, in this case, inferred from past behaviors. Intent can also be expressed as reading specific articles and clicking on contextual ads, or even, conducting a search itself -- in the days before paid search ads, Yahoo! took banner ads on oversold keywords and showed them to those users a few hours later elsewhere on the Yahoo! site. Another source of intent – user interests declared during site registration.
While there are still flaws and kinks to be worked out, these new intent ad networks have the potential to replace time-worn proxies like age and income demographics. Look out media buyers – learn this new lingo or you'll find yourself squeezed by the intent ad networks.

With its American users still reeling over Netflix price hikes, Variety reports that the entertainment delivery service already has its eye on Europe.
European film distributors, speaking on condition of anonymity, have told Variety that Netflix has confirmed its plans to open for business in Spain and the UK by the first quarter of 2012.
Netflix's VP communications, Steve Swayse, would not comment on the report. "For our expansion plans, we've said that we plan to be in Latin America by the end of the year," he said. "Beyond that I can't say any more."
That Latin American and Carribbean expansion is expected to contain more than 40 countries.
As of its April 25 letter to shareholders, Netflix reached nearly 24 million customers worldwide.
The company made a major push into Canada that began in 2010 and now has 800,000 subscribers. However, the expansion has faced complications unique to the nation.
Wrote CEO Reed Hastings, "We are still learning the seasonality curve and nuances specific to Canada." They must also contend with data caps that can lead to what Hastings termed "outrageously high overage charges of $1 more per gigabyte."

I like the PW2000 that powers the 757, Illyushin IL-96M and the C-17 globemaster. With the 757 not being directly replaced it seems like the demand for an updated PW2000 engine would be low. However. Very recently Boeing has hinted at updating the C-17 globemaster with a new wing and updated engines. That is why I thought it would be time to look at the PW2000. How would an updated engine from Pratt look like? Is the core efficient enough? Would it be sufficient with a new fan, or would it be a new geared fan? All comments are welcome.

During the Holliwood writers strike, Joss Whedon (Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly) started a web project called "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" It stars Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) as Dr. Horrible, a beginning evil scientist super villian, Nathan Fillion (Mal on Firefly) as Capt. Hammer, Dr. Horribles nemisis, and Felicia Day (Vi on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Penny, the apex of the Dr. Horrible - Penny - Capt. Hammer love triangle.
The third and final part of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is complete and soon it will no longer be veiwable for free on the internet (but you can get it from I-Tunes). The dead line is Sunday, July 20th at midnight then it will be gone off the net.
I heard about it on NPR. I just got through watching it since I'm a fan of Joss Whedon's work (still think Firefly was the best space opera ever made). I'm not saying anything else about it. in this post.

Republicans and Democrats Both Want to Kill You!
Republicans and Democrats Both Want to Kill You!
What is happening to this country?
Robert Reich points out that, in announcing the Republicans' new budget and tax plan Tuesday, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said "We are sharpening the contrast between the path that we're proposing and the path of debt and decline the president has placed us upon." But the plan doesn't do much to reduce the debt. Even by its own estimate the deficit would drop to $166 billion in 2018 and then begin growing again.
The real contrast is over what the plan does for the rich and what it does to everyone else. It reduces the top individual and corporate tax rates to 25 percent. This would give the wealthiest Americans an average tax cut of at least $150,000 a year. The money would come out of programs for the elderly, lower-middle families, and the poor.
"So what's the guiding principle here?" asks Reich. "Pure social Darwinism. Reward the rich and cut off the help to anyone who needs it."
Most Americans who do have jobs continue to lose ground. New research by professors Emmanual Saez and Thomas Pikkety show that the average adjusted gross income of the bottom 90 percent was $29,840 in 2010 — down $127 from 2009, down $4,842 from 2000, and just slightly more than $29,448 in 1966 (all figures adjusted for inflation). Ryan says too many Americans rely on government benefits. "We don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into lives of dependency."
Well, I have new for Paul Ryan, says Robert Reich: Almost 23 million able-bodied people still can't find work. They're not being lulled into dependency. They and their families need help. Even if the economy continues to generate new jobs at the rate it's been going the last three months, we wouldn't see normal rates of unemployment until 2017.
I wish I could tell you that Ryan's Republicans made the most disturbing statement I've heard from Government officials recently - but they didn't. That honor goes to Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, who gave a lecture at Northwestern University outlining his three-part test for determining when it's "OK" to execute a US citizen without a trial. Steve Colbert explains it nicely:
Do you see a theme here? We are being de-humanized by both parties in our Government. They already took away your right to Liberty under the Patriot Act, and Paul Ryan and his cronies are making the Pursuit of Happiness a game for the top 1% only, and now we have Eric Holder saying that the right to Life is not so much a guarantee under the constitution as it is a sort of conditional privilege - as long as you don't piss off anyone in power.
At the moment, the people in power seem to be on our side so Yay!, I guess.
The NSDAP rose to power in Germany with a popular "war" against Communism in which they too lobbied to change the rules of due process to "expedite" the necessary pursuit of their enemies, who could be anyone - anywhere.
As they morphed into the Nazi Party, they took advantage of those "minor changes" to consolidate their power.
Soon the definition of who constituted a threat expanded to Gypsies, Jews, Black People, Homosexuals and anyone else who happened to disagree with them - BUT IT WAS ALL LEGAL! When did "never again" turn back into "maybe later"?
Again, we're not "one of those people" so we have nothing to worry about, right? Actually, we are right back to where we were in 2007, when I first began warning people that the ever-expanding wealth gap in this nation only served to make the top 10% (those of us who can afford to invest in the markets) THINK that things were going well - even as they were falling apart.
Even now, the infrastructure of this country is coming apart at the seams and Paul Ryan wants to cut 80% of the Government's discretionary budget over 8 years. It's not even a fantasy - it's a nightmare!
Obama has already cut Government spending more than any President since Bill Clinton and 600,000 Government employees have lost their jobs (making Obama's net job creation numbers seem much worse than they are) but no amount of cutting and gutting will ever satisfy the Republicans until our entire Government is outsourced to Corporate Interests.
You are probably thinking "Great - which ones so I can buy stock in them" but this is not a recipe for growth - this nothing more than a wealth extraction - draining America dry the same way business people drain the cash out of a near-bankrupt company by refusing to spend money and draining all of the cash flow until it dwindles away to nothing - at which point they default on the debts, lay off all the remaining employees (reneging on their pensions) while the top dogs parachute out and head off for the next fatted calf to slaughter (see SHLD).
15 Greek Billionaires rank among the World's richest men (an outsized number as their economy is 1/50th the size of ours) and they and the poorer 99% of the top 1% drained that country dry over the past few decades but they all get to walk away and leave the other 20M Greek citizens and their children and their grandchildren to clean up the mess they made.
You can see it in Greece because there was no interruption of the program between the Reagan/Thatcher/Kohl revolution of the 80s and today, while the US had 8 years of Clinton pushing some of the wealth back to the middle class - which bought us a little more time but, with a debt to GDP ratio now over 100% and rising fast - we're not very far behind.
As you can see from the chart above, since the 70's and especially since the early 80's, this country has done nothing but go massively into debt - JUST LIKE GREECE - and our wealth is being extracted by the top 1% - JUST LIKE GREECE - and they will throw the bottom 99% to the wolves when the bill comes due while the top 1% skate out of this country and leave it an ungovernable wasteland with no future - JUST LIKE GREECE. But, unlike Greece - there will be no EU to bail us out.
The EU bailout is merely and "extend and pretend" move by the wealth extractors to make the bottom 99% of the nations that haven't been destroyed yet think that business as usual is still OK and, meanwhile, let's borrow more money and lower those pesky taxes and eliminate those annoying regulations because "that will fix everything." It's like the plot to a dystopian fantasy only we're not merely living in it, we're playing the part of the unwitting masses whose lives are being sacrificed on the alter of profits for the puppet-masters.
THIS is why I am concerned about the "rally." I was right in 2007 but it took an entire year for the market to collapse. I don't think we have as long this time because our second assault on the Middle Class and the poor is akin to kicking them when they are already down. On the left we have a chart of gas sales in California - the bottom 99% simply don't have anything left to give us and if people like Paul Ryan are going to insist on bleeding them until they die (or revolt) - he's likely to get that wish a lot sooner than we all think.

robert reich was the bad guy on wild wild west i remember him
dont trust him ileene(to the left)
You write an article that supposedly is about the party dichotomy being irrelevant, and then use this false pretense to push to a "left good, right bad" propaganda piece on me?
Article junked, you hypocrite and liar.
Robert Reich is blabbering the same nonsense as Krugman, only in a more oblique way.
Wow. Another 'expose' by Team Blue, attempting to sound 'objective' by throwing in the tyrant Holder in there for flavor. Obama CUT spending?! AYFKM?! Obama CUT 600,000 gubment jobs?! AYFKM?!
And once again...for the quintillionth time...we have to endure the incessant lunatic concept of 'tax cut for A' = 'paid for by B' logic. When Uncle Sugar steals less of your money, it is not because someone else cut you a check. It's because Uncle Sugar STOLE LESS OF YOUR MONEY. Tax cuts only have to be 'paid for' when they aren't tax cuts at all.....meaning Uncle Sugar spends the money he didn't steal from you anyway, either by borrowing it or printing it.
When Bush Jr. cut the taxes of everyone including the lowest earners.....why wasn't there all this 'concern' over how THOSE cuts would be 'paid for'? Why do only tax cuts for 'the rich' need to be 'paid for'?
P.S. Assumptions that I'm defending Bush in 3, 2, 1........
"So what's the guiding principle here?" asks Reich. "Pure social Darwinism. Reward the rich and cut off the help to anyone who needs it."
This is not social Darwinism, this is plutocracy. A more Darwinian and fair system would perhaps place a consumption tax (no other tax and no exemptions), equal for everyone, institute minimalistic social programs and balance the budget. This would be fair for all and not too cruel to the bottom tier. What is best of all - sustainability.
Robert Reich is on video at Berkeley advocating euthanasia for old people... to save money, so the government union employees can stay employed.
Obama didn't lay off anybody, the states cut back on their wasteful socialist ways and the fetid unions threw out the least senior... not a meritocracy. Cuba has just 11 million people.... and even commie Castro laid off 500K last year.
Coming for communists, socialists, unionists? But... Er, aren't they the TSA-like jackboots who are always coming for everybody else? Over 9000 documented cases of union violence in the last 20 years. Union boy Obama said Americans were enemies that needed to be punished.
Owebamacare has Critical Race Theory embedded in it. Example: Whites and Asians are going to get their respirator plugs pulled out by the beaurocrats until the actuarials are the same as blacks for disease morbidity and life expectancy -- by law. But the discrepancis are really due to things like lack of compliance with diabetic regimens, drugs, murders, and race specific problems such as sickle cell trait that have nothing to do with racism. This is just revenge killing of whites and Asians -- by law.
Before we resort to euthanasia and rationing of anyone's health care, Pelosi, Obama, and Reich and the other fascists in DC better be flying commercial coach first.
you want to spend millions of dollars on a 95 year old to keep her alive for another 5 years when she can't even enjoy much of her life?
look at Japan...thousands of old folks living into 115+ years.....shit gets old.
do you want to outlive your grandchildren, have nothing in common with people within 3 decades, seeing same bullshit year after year, wear diapers and live in a prison?
Robert Reich is short ugly man.....short man are usually smart because that's all they've got to offer.
I don't care how long you want to live, as long as you pay for it. If you get sick and are on the dying list, don't ask me to pay for it, I got my own troubles, I'm gonna be on that dying list too one day.
Reich is currently Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at theUniversity of California, Berkeley.
The squid has many testicles.
Muppets of the world unite!
Yea, that's what I have been talkiing about for years now. They, Congress are just doing their job.
Isn't that like Jumbo Shrimp? Federal Reserve? Sound US money?
It's a one party state.
Sucking America dry by not spending enough? This article makes no sense - Obama's job creaion numbers are depressed by his slashing or gov't sector - you are kidding, right?
Hey FuckTard Phil.....
Get over the Republican,Democrat thing,you sound like it makes a difference , the banks run....and own.... both fucking parties.....
stopped reading. this sucked fucking ballz.
I suggest that in this case it is the devil you know that is far more dangerous (and prepared) than the devil you do not.
Allowing Obama a second term is suicide.
Maybe that is the best choice?
Seriously, this bomb is clearly going off anyway.
I'm not going to cooperate. I accept that most likely will.
Destruction and suffering, pain and sacrifice, weed out the less capable and ultimately will likely benefit our species................On a long enough timeline.
It's evolution bitchez!
Pain is the greatest teacher.
Who is Tyler Durden? Corporations are not people, my friend.
"but this is not a recipe for growth"
It always comes down to this ASSUMED correct premise, doesn't it?
Sorry, perpetual growth on a finite planet ISN'T possible. Championing for growth only speeds up the point where we meet the end of the road, the cliff's edge (and, no doubt, will be goaded to continue to seek "growth" and step right over).
You get NOWHERE unless you start out with a valid premise. Clearly TPTB's puppets have no interest in us engaging in any debate about what the correct premise should be, lest it eliminate Their positions of power.
Here's whats a gonna happen. An uprising is going to breakout this year against Govt and banking terrorism. Smart lawyers and hopeful politicians are going to begin legal actions with the backing of 99% of the people to throw those guilty of treason and financial terrorism into prison. New politicians will be put into office and the distribution of the wealth that the Rockefeller's the Bushs, the Rotheschilds and so on, have stolen, will be redistributed as part of the implementation of a financially viable open source monetary system. Not to worry.

You see much. What do Mormons call bealzubub?
Please shake that thing FAST.....you're scaring me!!!
I can't believe Robert Reich is being quoted on here as a legitimate source. That guy is as communist as Chairman Mao.
This article reads like a piece of Soviet Agitprop.
-10 points of credibility to Zero Hedge for even posting this.
At least ryan recogizes that you cannot pay half the country to sit on their asses. Our unfunded liabilities(rarly mentioned) are going to bring this whole fantasy to a very unpleasent end.
Seriously?. In a fiat currency paradigm, funding the liabilities is a matter of CNTL P and given the bailouts, the REAL liabilities concerning those conjurers of currency are quite funded indeed.
Or was that just a talking point?
Nice try at obfucation.
"Obama has already cut Government spending more than any President since Bill Clinton and 600,000 Government employees have lost their jobs (making Obama's net job creation numbers seem much worse than they are) but no amount of cutting and gutting will ever satisfy the Republicans until our entire Government is outsourced to Corporate Interests. "
You feckin paid shrill ......
Rage, rifles, and rope - We gonna need all three.
You are forgetting the tar and feathers. It just won't be any fun without tar... and feathers.
"Corporations are people my friend" Mitt Romney on the campaign trail, 2012.
Saw DK's many times, one the best bands ever! Kalifornia, Uber Alles!

Jello Biafra types- Question Authority!
American leftist circa 2012- How dare you question my authority you traitor! Burn the witch! Silence them!
I have a lot of trouble working up a good head of worry (and I am a worrier) about losing government jobs. I could probably tolerate zero in government employ before I started to think..."hey, maybe we should have a few judges, cops and even a general".
Returning to real money will financially starve the buggers first.
The real reason you pay an income tax, is for the privilege of using a private currency.
Also known As A: Federal Reserve Note
Demand from your bank, lawful money and the tax goes away, with a tax exemption on lawful money, all of your money is yours.
Tax Exemption: http://stormthunder.com/federal-reserve-act/#ixzz1pOYzDgEm

Redeemed in Lawful money Pursuant to Title 12 USC §411 or

non-negotiable federal reserve notes of face value
Agreed. Since so many government jobs were added in the last three years, plenty can be lost before I start to lose any sleep about them. I'm pretty sure they aren't spending much time worrying about the rest of us.
Sorry pal, you should research before you bloviate, over 500,000 government jobs have been lost since Obama was elected.

Ok so I work out a budget/deal/thingy with the wife to get a major upgrade to my bike stable. I have ridden the Stumpjumper FSR line many times and decided to get the base model 2006 Stump FSR that lists for $2000. Ok I call my not so local Specialized dealer (30 miles away) and he doesn't have that one in my size. Ok so how long will it take to get one in. Let me check... he does and the warehouse is out of 2006 Stumpy FSR base models!. So I call a bike shop about 75 miles away and they say the same thing. Hmmm, look for more dealers on Specialized website. Call two shops in the capitol of my state and 90 miles away and same story.
Finally I find a shop with two, this shop is 70 miles away. Good grief July and they are sold out!?! I have never bought a bike in the summer is this a common occurence?

Defenseman Adrian Aucoin, signed as a free agent in the off-season, is not surprised that the Coyotes have emerged as one of the surprise teams in the NHL with the first half of the season winding down.
He said he knew the caliber of players on the roster, and "I knew the potential was there."
"You see it time and again, especially since the lockout, you have these teams that people don't expect to play well," he said. "You don't need superstars; you just need everyone to play really well. You don't need anybody to be great, but you need everybody to be good. So I don't think it's that surprising."
Aucoin had five goals and 12 assists entering Saturday night's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Coach Dave Tippett stressed that a key factor for the good first half has been the players' ability to prevent the off-ice issues from becoming a distraction.
"They really wanted to prove to people that all the negativity that was surrounding our organization wasn't about the players; it was about the business end of it," he said.
Tippett said he wasn't sure what to expect when he took over a week before the season, but that he expected to win every night, saying if you don't, "you're probably in the wrong business."
Different players and lines have emerged to give the team the boosts it needed.
"We recognize that there can't be any weak links," Tippett said. "We're not a team . . . you look at a Pittsburgh where they have an off night, and (Sidney) Crosby or (Evgeni) Malkin can win a game for them.
"Bryz (goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov) has been excellent for us in that regard, but for the most part, I would say our strength right now is we're a good team. We play a good team game. The players, you have to give them full credit."
Coyotes prospects Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Sweden) and Mike Lee (United States) are playing in the IIHF World Junior Championships in Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan. The tournament began Saturday and runs through Jan. 5.
Ekman-Larsson, 18, is a defenseman who was selected in the first round (sixth overall) by the Coyotes in the 2009 draft. He is playing with Leksand in Sweden's second-highest professional league. Lee, a 19-year-old goaltender, was a third-round pick (91st overall) in the '09 draft. He is a freshman at St. Cloud State in Minnesota.
Captain Shane Doan, who played in his 1,000th game Dec. 17, was honored in a pregame ceremony.
Gifts including a silver hockey and a saddle. Doan is an avid horseman.

Break out the Vulcan ears and Klingon dictionaries....
Bethesda Softworks, developer of the upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, announced they have acquired the exclusive rights to develop and publish titles based on the Star Trek universe. Bethesda now controls the rights to develop Star Trek games from any of the show's franchises and these rights are exclusive across all consoles, handhelds, and the PC.
"Being able to work with the entire universe of this beloved series is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us", said Todd Vaughn, vice president of development for Bethesda Softworks. "We have some great ideas about where we want to go with this license and having the exclusive right to develop and publish Star Trek games across all platforms ensures that every Star Trek game will be a quality game worthy of its name."
To sweeten the announcement, Bethesda also announced two Star Trek titles that will be released by the end of the year. The first title, Star Trek: Legacy, is slated for a September 2006 release on the Xbox 360 and PC. Star Trek: Legacy puts gamers in control of a fleet of warships for combat simulations that stretch across the entire Star Trek timeline. To cause Trekkies to further salivate over this announcement, Mad Doc Software, developers of Star Trek Armada II, are working on this title.
Star Trek: Tactical Assault, due out in September for the PSP and DS, is set in the original Star Trek series. Developed by Quicksilver Software, creators of Star Trek: Starfleet Command, Star Trek: Tactical Assault promises a wide array of ships to use in battle through either a Federation or Klingon campaign. However, the most promising feature of Star Trek: Tactical Assault is the planned wireless multiplayer mode where gamers will be able to compete against each other via the wireless modes of both handheld systems.

Europe Goes Pear-Shaped
We warned yesterday that European credit markets were sending very different signals to the equity markets and sure enough today saw a bloodbath across European equity, credit, and sovereign bond markets. Portugal and Spain 10Y spreads are now +46bps wider on the week (and Italy +30bps) with Spain back over 6% yield (460bps spread) and at more than three-week wides. While plenty will say 'but look where we came from' when today's dumpfest is put in context, but the critical aspect is the velocity and severity of today's 3-4% drop in Italy and Spain's equity markets and European banks now down over 9% from their post-FOMC peak (retraced more than 60% of the post-ECB rally). Europe's VIX jumped to over 22% as credit spreads (most notably subordinated financials - thanks to the 'AAA'nxiety over the banking union) were smashed wider. It seems Ben's all-in move was the catalyst to bring a realization that things may indeed be worse than we thought - as sovereigns have blown wider since.
European stocks (blue) vs credit...
European stocks have shaken off the post FOMC liquidity spike with Italy -6% and Spain -1.5% (but down over 3% today)...
and whether Ben's QEternity was the catalyst for a realization that things must be a lot worse than we know is unclear - however - European sovereigns have crushed wider since...
Charts: Bloomberg
- advertisements -
The real economy is sitting in a kiddie pool of liquidity...placed in the eye of a hurricane.
...And the fact that being pear-shaped carries a 35% increased risk of heart attack
Stick their asses on a tread machine.
All over the place.
All over the place.
QE3 is really not working out. It was supposed to make the price of EVERYTHING go up.
Does Europe have Globalists and Banksters running it? Well then they get what they deserve.
"whether Ben's QEternity was the catalyst for a realization that things must be a lot worse than we know"--the Fed released upbeat forecasts for 2013 almost simultaneous with the announcement of QE3. But nobody trusted those forecasts.
Cold potatos are not hot (sorry I could not resist)
Ignore what they say, watch what they do. It's obvious Ben&Co are seeing analyses and projections that they aren't sharing with the public, and they're acting accordingly while mouthing the happy happy joy joy BS.
Pear Shaped Bitchez.....
Everytime a knuckle rapping like this occurs the motivation to BTFD's deteriorates a little more.
First time I think the Fed initiated a pre-emptive QE. All of the other ones were reactive.
Thank goodness the US economy is so healthy that the DOW and NASDAQ can brush off European markets crashing.
Bullish hedge fund managers are adding to their favorite positions today. Look at charts for JCP, SCHN, WAG, MON, WLP, etc.
Intraday strength has faded away in financials for the last 3or 4 days. They start out strong (comparatively)in the morning and then weaken. Notice also the movement from the majors (JPM, et. al.) to the minors (CIT et. al.).
Asian or European?
Most likely Siberian
(you know the name of the fruit is ultimately semitic)
I think that Uncle Ben's actions were merely a coincidence. The same day that QEternity was announced was also the day that protest in Catalonia and the rest of Spain stepped up.
Catalan protest were a smoke courtain. The true black swan is the occupy the parliament movement that took place yesterday
All the traders who believe "every gap must be filled" must be gloating.
"every gap must be filled" wasn't that a Clinton administration policy?
We're headed for an earnings recession in Q3. No amount of liquidity will solve that problem. Will be interesting to see how Mr. Mkt reacts to all of the misses and lower guidance.
Time for $80 Billion a month into perpetuity FED purchase of ECB Bonds.
And the ECB can use the dollars to buy US Bonds, and ...
"blood bath?"
The index moved up 5% in the last 2 weeks...
More a roller coaster ride!
So why are PMs getting creamed given the big equity selloff? Thought PM's go up in times of trouble? Also contributing to the drop is profit taking in the last few days of the quarter.
Hold only unsubordinatables to avoid being subordinated.
Q; will the "blood bath" continue till EOW? Will we be at 1400 then?
If Bernanke's and Draghi's ill-advised easing 'policies' didn't capsize the markets, Plosser's remarks yesterday certainly did.
Of course, Plosser was stating what any astute observer could determine for themselves: there is no value whatsoever in the current forms of economy, the markets are pricing goods and services properly -- despite the best efforts of the managers -- and that the current, inflated asset prices cannot be supported indefinitely.
There is no lender of last resort in Europe, it is every man for himself (women, too).
All the talk about rationalizing the ESM (using it as a leveraging vehicle for the ECB) was what tipped over the barge ... The ECB is without credibility and is now apparently insolvent.

Marines from Camp Lejeune are in Haiti, helping the devastated nation.
Click the tab to see photos captured as Marines deliver relief supplies and arrive ashore near Leogand, Haiti.
The Marine Expeditionary Unit based in Eastern Carolina "established the first significant Marine presence on the ground" with its arrival Tuesday in Haiti.
Helicopters from the 22nd MEU landed at the ruined Presidential Palace Tuesday morning, carrying bottled water and other supplies.
The USS Bataan arrived Monday, according to a press release from the Marine Corps. It said the Marines and Navy conducted reconnaissance and assessment flights on Monday to figure out how to best help the relief efforts of the U.S. Military in Haiti.
"We are here to support the Haitian people in an area that has been hard hit by this disaster." said 22nd MEU commanding officer, Col. Gareth F. Brandl. "As relief operations continue, we will further assess the needs of people in the area and refine how we can best support them with the capabilities we bring."
The Marines say the added bonus of the 22nd MEU is that they can work off the USS Bataan without further taxing the stressed infrastructure on the mainland of Haiti.
The Marine Corps is posting videos and photos from the mission at www.dvidshub.net/units/22meu.
Another 130 Lejeune-based Marines part of a task force that was headed to Africa will be deploying to Haiti now as well.
The 2,000 Marines join the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, part of the US Military response. Airborne leaders say they've been able to deliver food to only about half of the 50,000 people in a makeshift camp overlooking Port-Au-Prince.
There are fears that if aid is not delivered quickly, sporadic violence and looting will become widespread.

Grove Park, CarshaltonThe house's early history is obscure, but it is shown on an 1847 map and so precedes this date. [1] The building is now occupied by departments of the London Borough of Sutton.
London Borough of MertonIn 2001, the census recorded that 25% of the population of the borough was from an ethnic minority. The highest ethnic populations were recorded in wards in the east of the borough (Mitcham, Eastfields and Pollards Hill). The percentage of population from ethnic minorities is predicted to rise across the borough within the next decade.
Carlyle's HouseThe house is made up of four floors ? a basement which houses the kitchen, the ground floor which was the Carlyles' parlour, the first floor where the drawing room/library and Jane's bedroom are found, the second floor which was Thomas' bedroom and is now the Custodian's residence, and the attic, which was converted into a study in an attempt to remove Carlyle from the constant noise of the street and neighbours. It has a small walled garden which is preserved much as it was when Thomas and Jane lived there ? the fig tree still produces fruit today.
Chelsea, LondonChelsea was once famous for the manufacture of Chelsea buns (made from a long strip of sweet dough tightly coiled, with currants trapped between the layers, and topped with sugar). The area is still famous for its "Chelsea China" ware, though the works, the Chelsea porcelain factory ? thought to be the first workshop to make porcelain in England ? were sold in 1769, and moved to Derby.

About Calamus International University
Education is light and what the world needs is more light – Will Hayes (1931)
In the words of mystic Will Hayes (1931), "The only certain way to World Brotherhood [a concept implying equality, freedom and peace for all of humanity] is through the gateway of knowledge. Education is the secret of progress. Education is light and what the world needs is more light." With due acknowledgement to Will Hayes' vision, CIU is proud to adopt the motto "Education is Light." For more information see the Calamus Project page.
Calamus International University is a non-traditional institution whose mission is to provide independent educational opportunities, allowing students anywhere in the world to work towards and be awarded earned degrees by flexible routes. CIU recognises that the higher educational goals and needs of adults, and especially accomplished professionals, differ from those of high-school leavers, and that the mature student is usually a self-directed or autonomous learner who is well-motivated, has a relevant background, possesses considerable knowledge and is able to contribute significantly to the design of his or her own studies.
Calamus International University encourages the study and investigation of mainstream and unconventional subjects in accordance within a holistic ambience. Interdisciplinary study and research by both students and faculty within a holistic paradigm is also encouraged. Diversification of mentor responsibilities over different fields allows the University to offer a broad range of interdisciplinary and independent studies and allows students to propose their own majors, subject to approval and availability of suitable mentors.
Course units are mostly based upon textbooks by experts renowned in their fields, and many units will introduce students to new perspectives from exciting and innovative thinkers.
Routes to a degree concentrate upon distance learning but may include tuition at or with centres, colleges, mentors or tutors approved by the University, and independent study. Appropriate allowance may be given for academic credit for prior education and relevant experience.
CIU is not under ownership of any religious or metaphysical organisation and is non-denominational. Students from any faith or creed or none are welcome.
Location and Registration
Calamus International University is international in scope and does not restrict itself to the educational conventions of any one country. Its strength is in the diverse knowledge and experience of its international faculty, linked by electronic and conventional communication. Administration is co-ordinated partly from the United Kingdom and partly from overseas, and tutors may be located in any country where adjunct faculty reside. CIU is a non-campus university, a class of institution that is part of the 21st-century, rapidly-changing world of alternative private education. These institutions have also been called "campus-free" or "universities without walls."
Calamus International University was founded in the British West Indies in 2001
The University's corporate location in the British West Indies was established in 2001 through becoming licensed as Calamus International University Ltd, enabling the institution to accept students from all continents. The University was issued a certificate of registration from the government of the Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies. Later developments saw CIU become registered in the Pacific, and Calamus International University ceased its corporate presence in the Turks and Caicos at the end of December, 2007.

B5886 + B5893 Mashup !!4/11/2014
I am so happy with how this jumper turned out !!!!! I have to admit ..when I set out to make this I was very apprehensive about how it would turn out .
If your familiar with patterns you know that there aren't many out there in the way of jumpers to choose from .... So I had to improvise ...
I knew that I wanted a halter top dress ... But I didn't want my back out ( I try to make most of my clothes "work friendly" ) . I knew I wouldn't find a jumper pattern to match what I wanted so I decided to do a PATTERN MASHUP !!!
The dress pattern had the top I wanted and the pants pattern had the wide leg look that I was going for .
The pants portion was fairly easy , I finished the pants all the way till it was time to add the band and then I began making the halter top portion of the dress. I ended up having to change the zipper because in the pattern it added it on the side , because of the pockets this option wouldn't work . I decided to moved the zipper to the back .
The pattern only called to cut one waist band but I knew this wouldn't work so I cut two . I ended up having to cut the waistband down to fit the bodice portion and attached it . Once I connected the band to the bodice I began work on the pants .
I will definitely be doing more if these !!
I think next time ill make it a size smaller with a tapered skinny leg !!

Wonderful pattern morphing, I never would have thought of that combination.ReplyDelete
You did a beautiful job and you look amazing .....ReplyDelete
Seriously impressed with the fabric pattern matching, never alone the pattern mashing- love it:)ReplyDelete
I nominated you for the Sunshine and Shine On award. See my blog for more info.ReplyDelete
I agree, this has turned out great :)xReplyDelete
Cute! It gives me flashbacks of the huge flowers with orange and yellow one my mom made for my friend and me back in the 70's.ReplyDelete

Stamp Out Piracy Awareness Week got my attention. Piracy can be harmful for some game sales, and for some studios the results can be devastating. StampOutPiracy.com is taking effort to bring piracy awareness, and has asked people to do the following:
- Write a blog post about game piracy. (like I'm doing now)
- Inform your newsletter signups about the dangers of using pirated games.
- Report piracy to us using Stamp Out Piracy form.
- If you're a member of another gaming forum then why not start a thread about game piracy.
- Link to StampOutPiracy's articles or to an article on another anti-piracy site
- Add a StampOutPiracy text link or button to your website/blog.
- Write an article about game piracy and post it to a number of article websites.
- Include an anti-piracy message in your game(s).
- Include an anti-piracy message in a forum signature.
I suppose there's one thing that worries me in this approach. Instead of being "anti-piracy" I think being "pro-legal software" could wield better results. (Analogy for not being "anti-war", but "pro-peace"). I think by telling people about piracy (and explaining details how that work), they might actually actually be adding piracy – for some users. Those users who didn't know about certain words (like "warez") might get interested in getting more games illegally.
Might sound like word semantics, but nevertheless I think we should not fight piracy. Instead, we should encourage and support people to make the kind of decisions that help us game developers make better games – that would be. We should encourage fair deals where both parties win.
And that calls for "who has bought most games" kind of attitude – competing about being the guy who has the highest count on legally purchased games, and giving extra incentives to get games legally also in the future.
Anyway – check out StampOutPiracy.com and spread the word. Roman at Anawiki blog already wrote "why piracy is wrong".

'Sunglasses' filledwith tips for parents
Kathleen Molnar Benyo, Ph.D., published a book just in time for the start of the new school year.
"Don't Forget Your Sunglasses: A Parent's Survival Guide to Kindergarten" is arranged as a manual with alphabetized tips for parents of children entering kindergarten, Benyo said.
"From meals for lunch to how to set limits, it's all there, even the differences between 'Meet the Teachers Night' and parent/teacher conferences," Benyo said.
The book also contains sample letters for parents who need to contact principals.
Benyo, who lives in Weatherly with her husband and three dogs, has the experience to back the book.
She started her career as a third-grade teacher in the Weatherly Area School District, then became an elementary principal and federal programs coordinator in the Panther Valley School District. From there, she filled in as Weatherly's elementary/middle school principal, and served as an associate professor and head of the education department at Northampton Community College.
"I also gained much experience by raising five children!" said Benyo.
Writing and publishing has always been a bucket-list item, she said.
"With school starting, I thought it would be helpful to provide a handbook for parents," she said. "My purpose is to answer questions that are sometimes forgotten."
Benyo isn't completely retired. She owns and operates Kathleen's Collectibles in Drums.
"Kathleen's Collectibles is my fun project now that I am official retired from the field of education," she said. "It's great to have people want to come through the door to the shop rather than having to enter the principal's office."
"Don't Forget Your Sunglasses: A Parent's Survival Guide to Kindergarten" is available as an eBook from Amazon.com. Benyo noted that the Kindle reader app is free for phones, laptops and computers.
"The book is currently in the top 10 in its category and my hope is that it will continue moving up," Benyo said last week.

You have just hired new workers and you want them to become familiar with their new tasks quickly but safely. In today's Advisor, we provide answers to several common questions about new employee orientation and training.
Q: Is safety training or orientation needed for temporary workers?
A: When an employer hires workers from a temp agency, both the temp agency and the employer are responsible for documenting that the employees were trained to understand and avoid all potential hazards at the employer's site.
Q: Who conducts the safety orientation?
A: Employer representatives at a recent OSHA outreach meeting in Connecticut offered some advice for conducting employee orientation/training:
- For employers with a safety or HR manager, the manager can conduct the classroom part of orientation/training, prepare all the training materials (handouts, forms, checklists, lesson plan, etc.), conduct the employee evaluation, and maintain all documentation. The facility supervisor(s) can conduct the on-the-job training and observation, and determine when the employee is ready for the evaluation.
- For employers without a safety manager or trainer-qualified HR manager, the company safety committee, HR manager, and department can share responsibilities for conducting the job hazard analyses and the training program. The safety committee and HR manager can put together the orientation/training materials, conduct the "classroom" training, and keep records. The department where the new employee will work can conduct the hands-on training.
Great news! BLR's renowned Safety.BLR.com® website now has even more timesaving features. Take our no-cost site tour! Or better yet, try it at no cost or obligation for a full 2 weeks. Plus, for a limited time, get the NEW 2013 EHS Salary Guide, absolutely free.
Q: What types of topics should be covered for safety orientation?
A: During the orientation period, introduce new workers to all the basic safety information that applies to their work areas, such as:
- General hazards in the work area
- Specific hazards involved in each task the employee performs
- Hazards associated with other areas of the facility
- Company safety policies and work rules
- Proper safety practices and procedures to prevent accidents
- The location of such emergency equipment as fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, and first-aid supplies.
- Smoking regulations and designated smoking areas
- Emergency evacuation procedures and routes
- Whom to talk to about safety questions, problems, etc.
- What to do if there is an accident or injury
- How to report emergencies, accidents, and near misses
- How to select, use, and care for personal protective equipment
- Safe housekeeping rules
- Facility security procedures and systems
- How to use tools and equipment safely
- Safe lifting techniques and material-handling procedures
- Safe methods for handling, using, or storing hazardous materials and the location of safety data sheets
Q: How is the effectiveness of an orientation program evaluated and improved??
A: Orientation programs can be updated and refined by reviewing accident near-miss reports. Near-miss reports offer early warning signs of new or recurrent hazards in the workplace that must be corrected before someone gets hurt or equipment is damaged. The evaluation of illness and injury reports is also a catalyst for changes in safety orientation and training programs.
Your one-stop safety management resource, available 24/7. Go here to take a no-cost site tour or here to try it in your own office! Plus, for a limited time, get the NEW 2013 EHS Salary Guide, absolutely free.
Q: What types of safety orientation are there?
A: Orientation can involve several levels of new employee involvement, from awareness information to formal training programs. Awareness orientation/training informs employees about a potential hazard in the workplace and their role in responding to the hazard, even though they are not directly exposed to the hazard. For example, "affected" employees can be told about locks and tags for electrical systems without being trained on how to implement the lockout/tagout program.
Why It Matters
- 40 percent of all workers injured on the job have been doing the job less than a year.
- Keep your new hires out of the statistics by giving them effective and comprehensive safety orientation.
- Ensure ongoing safe work practices from new hires by following up on orientation training.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Lance Lynn reached double figures in wins before the All-Star break for the third straight year and Kolten Wong homered for the second game in a row, helping St. Louis beat Pittsburgh for the third straight time, 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Matt Adams had three hits and two RBIs for the Cardinals, who will go for a four-game sweep over the NL Central rival they beat in the division series last fall today, although they might have to do it without All-Star catcher Yadier Molina.
Molina was removed for a pinch-hitter in the third inning with a sprained right thumb from sliding into third base and will be re-evaluated before the finale. He caught another half-inning before leaving the game.
Article Photos
AP Photo/St. Louis' Matt Adams, right, is tagged out at third by Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez during the first inning Wednesday in St. Louis. Two runs were scored on the play before Adams was tagged out.
Neil Walker homered and doubled for Pittsburgh, which had won 12 of 15 entering the series and dropped the first two on game-winning, ninth-inning homers by Adams and Wong.
Rookie Brandon Cumpton (3-3) started in place of injured Gerrit Cole and was charged with four runs and nine hits in 3 1-3 innings.
Lynn (10-6) allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings and has 32 wins before the All-Star break his first three seasons in the rotation. The right-hander is tied for most pre-All-Star wins with Detroit's Max Scherzer over that stretch and is the first Cardinals pitcher to do it in three straight seasons since Hall of Famer Bob Gibson totaled 34 wins from 1968-70.
Walker's 12th homer leading off the second was the first allowed by Lynn at home this season.
Adams' two-run double in the first put the Cardinals ahead to stay and he added two singles to give him 12 in the last six games. Wong hit his fourth homer off Justin Wilson in the eighth.
Molina was voted to his sixth straight All-Star team Sunday and is a starter for the fourth time.
He slid feet-first into third base advancing on a groundout in the second and came up shaking the right hand after planting it a bit for balance.
Matt Holliday had two hits, two walks and an RBI and Jhonny Peralta had an RBI double for St. Louis.
Cumpton was in constant trouble and the Cardinals missed a chance to bust it open by stranding nine runners the first four innings.
Trevor Rosenthal worked the ninth for his 27th save in 31 chances. Peter Bourjos made a leaping catch for the final out at the wall in center field with a man on to rob Russell Martin of extra bases.
NOTES: Attendance of 43,941 was the 28th sellout for the Cardinals including five of the first six games of a seven-game homestand. ... Shelby Miller (7-7, 4.15) will try to beat the Pirates for the third straight start this season Thursday and will oppose Edinson Volquez (7-6, 3.88). Volquez is 3-0 his last three starts allowing two earned runs in 21 innings, but is 3-6 with a 5.58 ERA against the Cardinals. ... Cole was placed on the 15-day DL with right lat soreness retroactive to July 5. ... The Cardinals have won 10 of the last 12 at home against Pittsburgh.
Reds 4, Cubs 1
CINCINNATI (AP) - Alfredo Simon became the NL's first 12-game winner and Billy Hamilton added to his sensational series with a tiebreaking triple Wednesday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1 victory over the trade-depleted Chicago Cubs.
The Reds won their fifth in a row - matching their season high - and moved a season-best seven games over .500. After winning the first four games of the series, they'll try for their first five-game sweep since 1976 on Thursday.
Simon (12-3), left off the All-Star team, became the first Reds pitcher to win a dozen games before the break since Edinson Volquez also went 12-3 in the first half of 2008.
The reliever-turner-starter gave up four hits in 6 2-3 innings, including Anthony Rizzo's third homer in four games.
Phillies 4, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley homered to support Roberto Hernandez's solid start, and Philadelphia beat Milwaukee 4-1 on Wednesday night for their third straight win over the NL Central leaders.
Hernandez (4-8) needed just 84 pitches in eight innings to dispatch the aggressive Brewers, who have lost four straight and eight of nine. Hernandez allowed three hits, and Jonathan Papelbon pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save.
Veterans Rollins and Utley homered off Kyle Lohse (9-4), who at one point retired 13 straight batters after Utley's first-inning solo shot.
Mets 4, Braves 1
NEW YORK (AP) - David Wright ignited a tiebreaking rally in the seventh inning with a hustle double, Travis d'Arnaud gave Dillon Gee some cushion with a two-run drive later in the seventh and New York beat Atlanta 4-1 on Wednesday night for their first four-game winning streak in a year.
Gee (4-1) returned from two months on the disabled and pitched seven-plus dominant innings as the Mets won the first three of a four-game series against the Braves after being swept in Atlanta less than two weeks ago.
Rockies 6, Padres 3
DENVER (AP) - Troy Tulowitzki hit two of Colorado's five home runs, and the Rockies beat San Diego 6-3 on Wednesday.
Drew Stubbs, Charlie Blackmon and Wilin Rosario also went deep for the Rockies, who won a home series for the first time in nearly two months.
Colorado last won a home series taking two of three from San Diego in May. The Rockies managed to split a four-game set with Atlanta in June but lost five other series at Coors Field. They were swept twice.
They erased that mark with back-to-back homers off reliever Joaquin Benoit (3-1).

Bus Stops
Bus Stop Only Policy
Metro Bus has a Bus Stop Only policy to maximize bus schedule reliability, requiring riders to board and deboard fixed route buses at designated signed bus stops. Nearly 700 signed bus stops are located along Metro Bus routes. When deboarding, your driver will let you off at the nearest signed bus stop after you pull the yellow stop request cord.
Identify Your Route at the Bus Stop
Bus stop signs identify the routes served by that stop with color-coded, route name stickers. Bus schedules and the system route map show bus stop locations along each route. Most routes have signed bus stops every 2-3 blocks in urban neighborhoods and 4-6 blocks along less dense corridors.
Bus Shelters
Step out of the bus shelter when your bus approaches so the driver can easily see you.
