What a difference a week makes. While last week we saw some movement in a new direction, this week it appears as though everything has changed on the Top Singles list. Of course there are some exceptions, like 50 Cent. His "Major Distribution" track with Young Jeezy and and Snoop Dogg continues to be a presence - especially since there's a video to match the track now. While that song reached the #6 spot, check out the other nine tracks that dominated our Top Singles list this week.
A Drake Cameo Goes a Long Way, Ask Nickelus F
Nickelus F (also known as Nick Fury) has been popping up a bunch of times over the past few years. His connection to Drake is one that has benefitted him quite a bit. The two have collaborated on a few cuts like the previously unreleased "Look At the Ice" and of course "AM 2 PM." This week Nick and Drake return with "Number 15." Drake promoted the track in his own special way before debuting it on Nickelus F's Vices. It hits the #1 spot this week.
A$AP Rocky Needs Soul Saving, Gunplay Is Here To Help
Weeks (maybe even months) before LongLiveA$AP arrived, A$AP Rocky's songs were circulating and doing big things on the list. They've since fallen off the Top Singles, but are being replaced with new ones. In at #2 is A$AP Rocky's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul." One of the bright spot on his album came from the Gunplay and A$AP Ferg collaboration "Ghetto Symphony." Well Gunplay decided to borrow that for his Cops & Robbers mixtape. That one closes out the list this week at #10.

Citigroup's (NYSE:C) problems were never the sort that were going to allow a quick fix, and some of the risk in the stock has centered around the company being too aggressive in trying to compensate for past mistakes. While a slowdown in many overseas markets is a definite risk factor to the near-term growth outlook, Citi seems to be sticking to a multi-year recovery strategy and it looks like the bank will be in decent shape in two or three years' time.

Progress Evident in Q2
Bank accounting is messy in the best of times, and virtually impenetrable when it comes to a large, global diversified financial business like Citigroup. Consequently, the bank's reported operating earnings of $1.00 (against a consensus estimate of 89 cents) have to be taken with at least some grain of salt.
Overall, Citigroup saw revenue fall 7% sequentially, as a big drop in securities and banking (investment banking) outweighed some growth in transaction services. Revenue in global consumer banking was down about 2%, as the bank continues to see a soft U.S. banking environment and its substantial global operations see a slowdown.
Fee income rose 7% sequentially, while net interest income fell 5%. Core Citicorp net interest income was down 2%, as the bank saw a slight (nine basis points) decline in net interest margin. Period end loans were up 3%, though, and expenses were down 2% sequentially.
Citi is also seeing solid credit trends. The non-performing asset ratio improved 15 bp from the first quarter, while the net charge-off ratio also improved. Overall, Citi saw lower-than-expected loan losses and the trends in the credit card business seem to be improving. What's more, the bad assets within Citi Holdings continue to shrink.
SEE: Why You Should Stick With The Big Banks
Where Will Tomorrow's Growth Come from?
Citigroup is somewhat unusual among large American banks with its substantial overseas retail banking operations. Plenty of banks, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), do business overseas, but not to the extent that Citi does. Large positions in markets like Mexico and South Korea, not to mention sizable operations in countries like Brazil, China and Australia do give the company exposure to markets that should see faster growth than the U.S. in the coming years.
I do wonder, though, about the company's plans for its U.S. retail operations. Citi is definitely making progress with cost-cutting, but the company's share of mortgage originations is well behind that of Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and I wonder how the bank will compete with up-and-comers like PNC (NYSE:PNC) or entrenched solid operators like U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), given the bank's focus on lowering its costs and its higher cost of capital.
SEE: The Banking Industry in 2012
The Bottom Line
The ongoing investigation into LIBOR bid rigging may represent some risk to Citigroup, but I think government regulators are going to face a hard choice when it comes to meting out punishment. One must ask just how far will regulators go in punishing and fining banks that their government has spent tens of billions of dollars supporting, propping up and recapitalizing?
Barring a real global economic meltdown that would force further asset sales to maintain capital ratios, I think Citi has interesting potential based on its international retail banking operations. Unfortunately, it's going to take time for that value to come through and the company's i-banking and U.S. retail operations are still facing a lot of challenges.
The good news for Citi is that there is a lot of earnings potential in this business. What's more, at only around half of tangible book value, the Street still has not fully bought into that potential. Citi definitely has above-average risk at this point and the bank may well struggle to achieve even high single-digit return on equity on a sustained basis. That said, the sizable returns potential of these shares does make it worth a look for aggressive investors looking for high-risk/high-return plays in U.S. banking.

Deputies say a New Jersey man was killed Wednesday night in Martin County.
On Friday deputies released the names of those in the shooting, but released little more information. Killed was 35 year old Walik Walker from Newark, New Jersey while 27-year-old Davirus Williams of Grimesland was wounded.
The two were found shot outside the Wilco Hess in Oak City. Sheriff Dan Gibbs says the actual shooting happened somewhere else, but so far authorities have not released that location.
No arrests have been made in the shootings.
New Jersey records show Walker had several drug arrests in Essex County. He also served prison time for robbery and weapons convictions, getting out in 2007.

Coca-Cola's promotion has had a significant impact on American advertising and its overall culture. It is even (erroneously) credited with the invention of the US traditional Santa Clause image.
Anyway, Coca Cola advertising history demonstrates how the marketing science has been developing over time. Below there is a visual tour into the company print advertising:
1890 -
Drink Coca Cola
Coca-Cola first print ad was published in 1895 featuring a young Bostonian actress named Hilda Clark who was the company spokesperson.
The ad campaign featured various people and concepts.
"Shop Refreshed"
"Drive Refreshed"
Delicious and Refreshing
Coca-Cola Revives and Sustains
It satisfies the thirsty and helps the weary (via stealthsettings.com)
Take one glass of Coca Cola when weary with shopping. It imparts energy and vigo (via stealthsettings.com)
1922 -
Thirst Knows No Season
1929 -
The pause that refreshes: (via adflip.com)
"Thanks for the pause that refreshes. Drink Coca Cola: Delicious and refreshing" (via dismuke.org)
1950 -
Be refreshed!
"Be refreshed! Pause for Coke! Only Coca-Cola gives you the cheerful lift that's bright and lively... the cold crisp taste that deeply satisfies! No wonder Coke refreshes you the best!"
"Spending the day on the water? You'll really welcome the cold crisp taste of Coca-Cola that so deeply satisfies... the cheerful lift that's bright and lovely. No wonder Coke is the real refreshment... anytime... anywhere" (Via flickr.com).
1960 -
Things Go Better with Coke
The "Things Go Better with Coke" campaign was adapted to the youth market by using catchy colors and fashionable concepts.
Burger Hot. Coca-Cola Cold. Taste Bold, refreshing, never too sweet. Ummm! Burger never better. Things go better with Coke.
"This is the time for real refreshment- ice cold Coca-Cola. Coke gives a lift to your spirits… a boost to your energy… a big, bold, unmistakable taste. In Short: Coca-Cola is more than an ordinary soft drink. Things go better with Coke".
It's the Real Thing
"Real life calls for real taste. For the taste of your life - it's Coca-Cola. Here and now."
1970 -
During the mid-1970s, the political uncertainty in the United States determined Coca-Cola advertising campaign. As the nation questioned its direction, Coca-Cola reminded Americans of their country's positive values in the "Look Up, America" campaign.
Look Up, America
Look up, America. It's the real thing. Coke
1976 -
Coke Adds Life
In May 1976, The Coca-Cola Company introduced a new campaign, presenting the brand as the soft drink for all occasions. Aimed at the young and young-at-heart, the new campaign, "Coke Adds Life to …," was designed to show viewers that Coca-Cola added simple enjoyment to life.
Have a Coke and a Smile
After "Coke Adds Life," the advertising campaign for Coca-Cola, "Have a Coke and a Smile" was launched - it further emphasized the 'young' and 'cool' spirit:
1982 -
Coke is It!
In early 1982, Coca-Cola launched a new ad campaign, "Coke Is It!" The direct, positive statement was meant to appeal to the forthright mood of Americans in the 1980s. "Coke Is It!" represented the new taste and concept:
The public, however, demanded the return of the traditional drink, so the campaign turned out to be fiasco.
1993 -
Always Coca Cola
In 1993, The Coca-Cola Company made a dramatic shift in its advertising by introducing the memorable "Always Coca-Cola" campaign, by Creative Artists Agency and later Edge Creative. Animated polar bear became one of the most popular symbols of Coca-Cola.
The Coca-Cola Polar Bear ice skating, from 1995
2002 -
The Coke Side of Life
Coca Cola New Zealand Campaign: "Summer as it should be"
Coca-Cola: Lemon
Coca-Cola Light
Coca-Cola: Recycle
Use your imagination and recycle. Our future depends on it.

COLUMBUS — Ohio employers are collectively owed $860 million after being overcharged for nearly a decade by the state insurance fund for injured workers, a Cleveland judge ruled Wednesday.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Richard McMonagle's decision involving the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation affects about 270,000 mostly small-business owners, many unaware they are covered by the class action. His order rejected the state's arguments for paying a smaller amount.
The lawsuit, which began in 2007, said the bureau gave discounted premiums to companies that joined group insurance plans and charged companies not in the groups excessive rates to pay for the discounts.
McMonagle ruled in December in favor of business owners who didn't participate in the group rating program, agreeing they had been charged unfair premiums from July 2001 to June 2009.
Lawyers for the businesses argued companies paying group rates were not charged premiums that covered their losses, which forced the other companies to cover the difference. The bureau discounted its group plans as high as 90 percent.

More than 45-million Americans -- that's one in six -- suffer from chronic headaches each year. We spend more than 4 billion dollars a year on over-the-counter headache remedies. Even prescription drugs don't always relieve the pain. Now, there's a new kind of headache therapy that may help people who suffer from severe headaches, when nothing else works.
For 17 years, Suzette Smith had to do without the girly things she used to love. She suffered with severe headaches -- pain that made feeling pretty, pretty much impossible.
LSU neurosurgeon Erich Richter offered her something new -- an investigational implant. It delivers electrical impulses, targeting the nerve problems that trigger headaches.
Dr. Richter says, "The way that interacts and the pathways that carry the pain and cause the pain to be processed by the brain in about 80 percent of people can get that pain under control."
Headache patients get a temporary electrode device first. If it works, the next step is surgery to implant permanent neural stimulators.
Dr. Richter says, "We can actually place a small electrode over the base of the scalp and that runs to a pacemaker-type device, which either can be implanted over the clavicle or usually actually in the upper part of the back."
Because Suzette has head and neck pain, her implant also includes electrodes down her spine -- all controlled with a remote.The touch of a button triggers a strong, tingly feeling that blocks the pain.
Three months after surgery, Suzette's headaches are history. Now, this girly-girl is all about feeling pretty again.

The concept of "paying your dues" is valued for the simple reason of knowing what it's like to be at the bottom, and learning from that experience, so that when you do succeed you apply what you have gained to your current and ongoing success. And one wonders if HandMade Films, the boutique, independent British production company responsible for such films as "Monty Python's Life Of Brian," "Withnail & I," "The Long Good Friday" and more, would've lasted longer, and fostered better relationships, if they had to struggle a bit first. That's one of the conclusions reached by the end of "Very Naughty Boys: The Amazing True Story of HandMade Films," a detailed and fascinating look at the company from its spunky beginnings to its slow collapse, chronicled by Robert Sellers. Now back on bookshelves, it's a worthy read for any interested in the often volatile world of indie moviemaking.
And while Sellers constructs a narrative that ultimately celebrates HandMade as one of the few institutions releasing riskier, daring films, particularly in Britain in '80s, it must be pointed out that few companies ever got as lucky as they did, the first time out. Founded by George Harrison (yes, that George Harrison), he created the venture in what might be one of the most expensive favors of all time. Monty Python were just about to get rolling on 'Life Of Brian' when EMI, their original backers, suddenly bailed, concerned about the potentially volatile material. Harrison, a big fan of the comedy troupe, and friend to a couple members, decided to back the movie himself, by putting up his own house. But what started as a gesture to finance a movie he simply wanted to see, soon turned into a full scale and proper business. And HandMade's fate would be cast when Denis O'Brien was hired to run the show.
The face in front of the money and the company, and the man tasked with the day-to-day operations (as well managing Harrison's personal accounting), he was undoubtedly feeling good with HandMade going three-for-three with 'Life Of Brian,' "Time Bandits" and "The Long Good Friday," the latter a movie they snapped up when the original producers were seriously thinking of re-editing it, and dumping it on TV. But O'Brien seemed to think these early achievements were largely due to his own savvy (to his credit, 'Very Naughty Boys' does underscore he was a tough, if sometimes wildly unfair, businessman who got results) not because of the popularity of the Pythons, or the quality of the filmmakers behind the movies. And once that talent started backing away, HandMade's fortunes begin to vary wildly.
The story Sellers tells in the book may be familiar, but it's no less fascinating, and perhaps remarkable for how much history repeats itself in the industry. Originally envisioned as home for Monty Python, O'Brien's continued pressure on the members to collaborate and work together, even on unofficial Python projects, combined with this shady financial dealings, ultimately pushed many of them away. "In the end, I felt Denis was too active, that really Python didn't want somebody who was going to come up with projects and push us into doing things. All we needed was somebody who would react to us... we wanted somebody who was rather more reactive than active," Terry Jones reflects. Either way, with the Pythons bouncing, and making their next film "The Meaning Of Life" at another studio, HandMade had to redefine itself.
And outwardly, the name came to symbolize a place where creativity was championed, in an environment that was open to challenging projects. But in practice, it was hardly a haven for free spirits. O'Brien soon fancied himself a filmmaker, and on more than few pictures, butted heads with directors over scripts, casting and even editing, often fashioning his own test cuts of films. His ambitions also grew faster than the company itself, with HandMade setting up an illfated distribution company, and a U.S. office, while also venturing unwisely into big budget fare, winding up with two massive, expensive disasters: "Water" and "Shanghai Surprise" (and the story of the making of the latter film is worth the price of admission alone).
But it's thanks to the dedication of those under O'Brien, who truly believed in the company and those making the movies, that HandMade also had a hand in successes like "Withnail & I" (which one can't imagine being made by anyone either then or today), "Mona Lisa" and what would be HandMade's last film, "Nuns On The Run." Those efforts continued to establish HandMade as a place where original, outrageous and unique movies could thrive, but behind the scenes, it was turmoil. And it came to a head in a rather spectacular crash, once again due to O'Brien, whose financial shell games eventually caught up with him and managed to make an enemy out of the one man who mattered most: George Harrison.
"A lot of us who worked there just though that there was this fantastic opportunity and amazing people around and amazing material and Denis always seemed to take the wrong," says former HandMade exec John Kelleher. "Having lucked out with his first two movies, he almost got nothing right after that. The more Denis got involved in the making of the films, the more they went downhill. He understood the deals, but I don't think he understood the movies. But you have to give Denis some credit. If it weren't for him, I suppose some of those terrific films wouldn't exist. You can't knock him completely."
And it's that complexity that shines in Sellers' enjoyably, readable book. And far from a hatchet job, "Very Naughty Boys" almost reads like an oral history with interviews from key figures like Alan Bennett, John Cleese, Robbie Coltrane, Sean Connery, Terry Gilliam, Richard E Grant, Richard Griffiths, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Neil Jordan, Paul McGann and Michael Palin. In capturing a distinct moment in British film history, Sellers have crafted a great behind-the-scenes yarn that encapsulates in great detail the toil, triumph, tears and zeal to make these movies, along with the hubris that made it both succeed and fall apart.

"Very Naughty Boys: The Amazing True Story of HandMade Films" is now in stores.

I have those sources too. Curt Vendell posted them on AtariAge.
By "sources" do you mean the .adf disk images? The zip file from cgexpo.com just contains a bunch of source files and executables. I've tried getting them into UAE but haven't been successful. I'm not sure how to get files from my linux box into an Amiga .adf disk image without an actual Amiga computer. Plus, even if I was able to get the files into Amiga .adf disk images, I have no idea which files go onto which disk image.
If you've got the disk images already, I'd love to get them. If not, I'll look up Harry and see if he can help me put together some disk images.
I can help a bit. There are 4 disks. The disks contain the directories named:
- boot
- rsa1
- rsa2
- rsa3
This means that the disk labeled rsa1 contains this directory structure:
drwxr-xr-x 2 karri karri 4096 2008-08-10 16:03 c
-r-xr--r-- 1 karri karri 103 2001-01-12 16:30 keyfile.1

drwxr-xr-x 2 karri karri 4096 2008-08-10 16:03 s
I do not have the afd images. And I have not yet been able to get the code posted by Curt to work well.
PS. Now you got me interested in this stuff again.

Molecular Partners signed a collaboration agreement with Roche covering the DRP technology for a variety of undisclosed applications. Under this agreement, Molecular Partners will select DARPins to a variety of different targets, which will be provided by Roche. Roche will carry out further analyses and development. The targets and further financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
DARPins constitute a novel class of binding proteins based on Molecular Partners' designed repeat protein (DRP) technology. Due to their small size and outstanding affinity, selectivity, and stability profiles, as well as their favorable production properties in bacteria, DARPins are one of the most promising non-antibody scaffolds for in vitro and in vivo applications, according to the company.

You guys must read the first installment of 'the doctor' before this.
So Tim was getting ready for Jenny's funeral when he had flashbacks popping up rapidly in his head. He wanted to kill the doctor SO BAD! But he waited a few weeks, when the killing started again.
The doctor finally came to kill Tim, for revenge. when he did, Tim got the very ax he cut his hand off with and killed him while he was tapping on the window of his children's rooms. His burial was never even planned. Tim had burnt him.
Weeks passed by, Tim and his children lived happily ever after. Until the next week, when the doctor somehow rose from the dead as some liquid source. He remained liquid until he possessed someone by entering the subject.
"DO NOT ENTER", read the sign in the melted doctors containment chamber. He was no longer the doctor. They now call him Foreign Contaminant #537. If he approches you, there is only one way to kill him, his only weakness, an ax.
Tim was at home with an ax, waiting for #537. He saw a man the age of about 34 years. The man said he needed shelter for the night, since he was a accidentally left behind hunting. "sure, I will allow you to stay for a night", Tim said. "thank you", said the odd and strange man.
It was at night when Tim heard footsteps outside his bedroom door. under the crack of the door he saw blood dripping rapidly. He heard a strange, gurgling sound. 5 seconds later, it stopped. Tim quickly swiped the ax from behind his bed. He stalked up to the door, as quiet as he could. He kicked the door down to find #537 right there, along with an undead nurse who had tried to shoot down Tim. Tim swung the ax and swiped the nurses head off. He then chopped #537 in half, in a chopping motion.
He buried them in a BIG metal burial case locked up tight, just to make sure they wouldn't return for another time.
#537 and the nurse must have killed the children when Tim was sleeping because he never saw them again. They also practically killed Tim, because the last of his family died and Tim committed suicide due to that fact.
Hey readers, have you heard that the rest of the nurses and doctors rose from the dead too? Well, I have to go, there is a strange man at my door with a big surgical knife…

Navy Jet Rips Into Apartment Complex
A Navy fighter jet crashed Friday into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach, Va., after the two-member crew ejected, injuring at least seven people and destroying three buildings and damaging others.
The seven who were injured, including a student pilot and an instructor, were taken to hospitals, officials said.
Crews had carefully checked the apartments, and all residents had been accounted for early Saturday, fire department Capt. Tim Riley said Saturday, according to the Associated Press. No deaths were reported.
The two-seat F/A-18D Hornet crashed around midday shortly after takeoff near Naval Air Station Oceana, a military base, the Navy said in a statement. Navy fire and rescue personnel were on the scene along with local first responders, a Virginia Beach Fire Department representative said.
Virginia Beach EMS division chief Bruce Nedelka said that witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area, according to the Associated Press.
"By doing so, he mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire," Mr. Nedelka said. "With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been."
In a statement, Adm. John Harvey, the head of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, promised to conduct "a complete investigation into the cause of this mishap and share all information we have as soon as we are able to do so."
At a press conference in Virginia Beach, Navy Capt. Mark Weisgerber said the crash appeared to be caused by a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" shortly after takeoff. He also said that the plane carried a student pilot, who was sitting in the front seat, and an instructor, and that while jet fuel was dumped, it wasn't clear that the pilots intentionally did that.
Three buildings were destroyed, and two more had significant damage, the AP reported.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said he informed Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms that all possible state resources would be available to the city.
"We are monitoring events carefully as they unfold and state police resources are now on the scene," Mr. McDonnell said. "Our fervent prayer is that no one was injured or killed in this accident."
The crash occurred in the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia. The area is home to a sizable military community and a network of military installations, including a large naval base, Naval Station Norfolk.
The jet that crashed was part of a squadron that trains Navy and Marine Corps aviators. According to a unit Web site, the training course includes the basics of flying strike missions as well as aircraft-carrier takeoffs and landings.
Rep. Scott Rigell (R., Va.,), whose district includes Virginia Beach, said in a statement, "Our prayers are with our entire Hampton Roads and military communities right now as our first responders are admirably addressing the situation on the ground. I have spoken with Governor McDonnell, Mayor Sessoms, and leadership at Naval Air Station Oceana, and my office and I stand ready to assist as appropriate."
The same model of fighter jet crashed in December 2008 after a training exercise in a San Diego neighborhood, killing four people and destroying two homes.

I am having problems on my Laptop with Symantec, its a very strange problem -
Interface lags, and mouse is jerky at almost random time intervals. I did a bit of digging and it seems that no matter what program I'm currently working in - Firefox, Outlook etc... it says its using massive amounts of CPU - 60 -> 70% and smc.exe, WmiprvSE.exe and svchost.exe are up near the top too.
A bit more digging found that the service running in the svchost.exe process was netsvcs.
Using process monitor I looked at what smc.exe was doing and found that its making massive amounts of registry calls. 174,000 in 2 minutes - compared to 20,000 on another machine with very similar set up.
The keys its accessing are the TCPIP settings (i think...) of the network interfaces : HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
Some of the keys its trying to access don't exist. If i copy large amounts of network data then my computer slows dramatically. I have reinstalled Symantec twice, removed unused network connections in windows, uninstalled winpcap, tried a reg clean and also tried resetting the TCP/IP stack in windows. I have to concede a loss on this one.... Any ideas what is causing the performance issues, and what I can do to fix (without a rebuild).
- Symantec Endpoint provided by company.
- Others in company are not experiencing the problem.

We tackled the Denver Nuggets here yesterday, a team far along and still trudging on its journey to a title few other teams in the league are willing to take – one (unless some unlikely individual development) without any superstars based on depth, versatility, and long and short term financial flexibility. That's a risk in today's NBA wrought with SuperTeams, obviously, but Denver and GM Masai Ujiri have the smarts and have assembled the pieces to at least give it a try for a couple seasons as they watch Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, Javale McGee, and others grow under the watchful tutelage of George Karl. And that was true even before they flipped Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington for the team's lone All-Star, Andre Iguodala, a player that fits perfectly within Denver's up-and-down, frenetic system on both ends.
So the Nuggets are all in on this for better or worse, but given their success in 2012 – pushing the old Lakers to seven games in the first round of the playoffs – it's reasonable to assume the former, at least in terms of the regular season and a postseason series or two. Some other teams are following Denver's model whether they know it or not, containing young rosters replete with young talent but without a discernible franchise player. The Sacramento Kings are chief among them, stockpiling translucent players with raw skill but unlike the Nuggets worrying little of roster fit or fiscal concerns. And their confounding off-season did little to answer those prevalent questions their aggressive attitude with regard to player acquisition posed even before last season ended.
Quickly, a rundown of the Kings' significant offseason moves:
- Drafted power forward Thomas Robinson fifth overall
- Signed combo guard Aaron Brooks to two-year deal
- Traded second-round pick to Toronto for combo forward James Johnson
- Re-signed power forward Jason Thompson to multi-year, six million dollar per-season deal
Most of this screams of typical Sacramento player redundancy and financial irresponsibility, and none of us should be surprised. It's all exemplified best with the acquisitions of Brooks and Johnson, two players with a history of poor attitudes/work ethic that will do little more to the Kings' on the floor this season than complicate development for more important pieces.
Brooks was once a very nice player, leading that undermanned 2010 Rockets team to an inspiring playoff run against the eventual-champion Lakers and winning the Most Improved Player award that season, too. But he was dreadful the next season in Houston and then Phoenix, shooting under 40% from the field and 30% from beyond the arc. He spent last season playing in China and reports say he did relatively well there, but that really shouldn't matter to Sacramento for two simple, glaring reasons: Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette. Sacramento's 2011 draft picks had glaringly different rookie seasons and the opposite of what their draft positions – 60th for Thomas and 11th for Fredette – suggested. Thomas was awesome for the Kings and is clearly a keeper in some role or another, and has the type of personality and team-first style this organization desperately needs. Fredette, though, was dreadful, compounding on all the questions his college game posed before the draft: can he play without the ball? can he and will he see the floor? is a point guard? can he defend his shadow? The unequivocal answer to those queries was no, and he showed little to suggest he'll ever come close to justifying his draft position let alone sticking in the league. But you don't give up on an investment like that, and with Thomas already supplanting Fredette in the rotation the addition of Brooks just doesn't make sense. Both of these sophomores need playing time and a defined role to hone their games, and Brooks is an older, more injury prone version of what these guys do best – score with the ball, kind of like most every other player on Sacramento's roster (Marcus Thornton, Tyreke Evans, Donte Greene, and Demarcus Cousins say hi).
Trading for Johnson and re-signing Thompson aren't moves as questionable as that one, at least until you factor in Sacramento's selection of Robinson. Johnson has masqueraded as a small forward much of his time in the league but he's clearly best as a small-ball 4, and the same is true of Thompson – that the Kings were comfortable playing him on the wing at all the last two years is ridiculous. So they added one power forward, re-signed another for multiple years at a pretty steep price against the cap, then drafted one in Robinson (who, it should be noted, has a bright future). But the Kings still have Greene and Travis Outlaw on the roster, too, a tandem of 'tweeners still best suited to spreading the floor as undersized bigs.
Just what is Sacramento doing? Do they think Cousins is a potential superstar? His combination of size and skill is very, very rare, but mitigating circumstances (all that crazy) indicate that's unlikely? Evans proved he isn't last season and seems lost in his development. Robinson? Perhaps an All-Star game or two in a watered down year if things break right, but hardly a franchise player. Thomas? Fredette? Thompson? Please.
The Kings, like Denver, have all these assets, all of these young players who on the surface have value but can't offer it to Sacramento because of how they fit on the roster with regard to both playing time and style (shoot, shoot, shoot). Then there's the whole issue of salary cap implications, something it seems they pretty much avoided altogether in compiling this zany group. It's not necessarily an awful thing for the Kings to be mostly capped out the next couple offseasons (there's nothing worse than spending just to spend), but it would be a coup for Sacramento if they had more leeway to make moves with all these pieces at the trade deadline. As it is, their collective hands are wound pretty tight in that regard.
So the Kings are the anti-Nuggets with regard to team-building even while seeming to employ the same strategy – a team rife with solid and versatile talent than can overwhelm the opposition with depth. The only problem is that they're making moves with just the first part of that in mind. Assembling puzzle pieces by itself and throwing them together just isn't enough to build a winner, a fact best exemplified by all the wheeling and dealing Denver does to make sure players and salaries fir their short and long term goals. Sacramento doesn't understand that, and in typical Kings fashion will undoubtedly realize it before it's too late and have to start all over again.

Piscataway, NJ (Sports Network) - Desi Washington scored a game-high 18 points
as the Saint Peter's Peacocks surprised the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, 56-52,
in season-opening play at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Peacocks (1-0) were Markese Tucker and
Darius Conley with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Blaise Ffrench finished
with just four points but managed to hand out a game-high nine assists.
The Scarlet Knights (0-1) were paced by Wally Judge who registered a double-
double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, his effort on the glass matched by Dane
Miller who added nine points and four assists of his own. Austin Johnson
chipped in 10 points in 18 minutes off the bench.
Saint Peters led by five points early in the first half, but the squad ended
up shooting just 9-of-25 from the floor and 2-of-10 beyond the arc over the
first 20 minutes of action which allowed Rutgers to come back and tie the
contest at the break, 22-22.
In the second half Saint Peter's connected on a much more impressive 56.5
percent from the floor as they captured the stunning victory.
The Scarlet Knights, who won the battle of the board 43-22, hurt themselves
with 18 turnovers on the night.
The Peacocks, who trailed in the all-time series with Rutgers by a count of
11-2, struggled mightily last season as they won a total of just five
games in 31 opportunities. The last victory for the Peacocks over Rutgers was
a 65-58 decision at home five years ago.

Theirs no contract for employment. Nor is their any union. Its being done in retaliation by the Senior Manager. The manager I wrote up told me that he was untouchable and that nothing would come of me writing him except me getting fired and he was right.
I also reported the manager who is Hispanic and I'm black for giving more hours to the Hispanic drivers and less to everyone else. I was responsible for the scheduling and I tried to make sure that everyone got as close to 40 hours as I could after the hours were sent over by Transit. However, when the manager used to come in, in the morning he used to change it around and give who he wanted to give hours.

Hi! I'm Lauren and I am a wedding photographer based out of Charleston, SC. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2009 with a BFA in Studio Art and Photography. Originally I started out studying Graphic Design but quickly switched over to Photography. I realized that having a degree in Photography still doesn't qualify you as a professional photographer. After moving to Charleston in 2010, I became friends with Patrick and Lee.
Here at Fstoppers, I do a little bit of everything from editing video, invoicing, answering emails, reading potential blog content from readers and drinking way too much coffee. I spend the rest of my time handling both Lee and Patrick's wedding and portrait editing as well as managing my own photography business.

Hello, I'm not entirely new to the forums, I've been lurking for months here and I've learned a great deal about bikes through here. So I'm asking for your help on a few questions.
I've read a lot about the Raleigh Sprite and Sport models on here and read about them too on Sheldon Brown's site. I really love the Raleigh women's bikes because of the parallel tube aesthetic (explanation: I'm mathy). From what I've gleaned from here and other sites is that Sprite is the more high quality model and Sport is the cheaper store version. What exactly does that mean? Did they use different quality of steel? Is the way it was built different?
Also, another reason why I would want a Sprite over a Sport is because the Sprite has a 27 inch wheel whereas the Sport has a 26 inch. A 27 inch would allow me to do a conversion to 700c, whereas a 26 inch would not. But then I found this: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Bicycle-Repair-1824/26.htm
And my focus was this: 622 mm (700C) wheels with skinny tires will usually fit in frames/forks made for 559 mm (26" decimal) wheels.
I've been looking for a Sprite and guess what, so is everybody else! I've lost Sprites on CL many times to better bidders. I have found a Sport for the right price and I'm hoping I'm right on two things:
1) There isn't that much difference between the Sport and Sprite in quality
2) I can convert the 26 3/8" wheel to a 700c or possibly a 27 inch
I'm asking for anybody's advice on these two points, clarify me on the Sport vs Sprite and is it possible to convert from 26 3/8 to a bigger wheel.

Sometimes life leaves you without your buns. Suck it up and make a salad! HAH.
No, that's not very nice. As often as we'd like to tell others to "suck it up and deal with it" for a plethora of different obstacles in life, it's not always the best way to go about helping others work through the frustration and get to the other side. I don't always react positively to that advice, so why would I expect others to? Let's try this again.
Sometimes life leaves you without your buns. Turn it into an opportunity to try something new and different! Woot woot. And that's exactly what I did. I ran out of hamburger buns and I was craving a burger, so I had to be creative. When you can't put something into sandwich form, you can usually turn it into a salad and it's just as tasty and definitely as satisfying. Instead of light mayo on a bun, I used ranch in the salad. Instead of tomato on a bun (since I didn't have any), I put corn in the salad. And it was SUPER tasty.
Boca Cheeseburger Salad
Servings: 1
PointsPlus Per Serving: 6
- 2 cups salad greens
- 1 boca burger, cooked and cut into pieces, 2 PP
- 1 slice 2% american cheese ripped into little pieces (or 1 oz shredded lowfat cheddar), 1 PP
- 2/3 cup corn kernels, 2 PP
- 1 tbsp light ranch, 1 PP
- 1 tbsp your favorite mustard (i used habanero mustard)
- chopped fresh tomato (optional)
1. Make sure corn kernels are defrosted (if they didn't come from a can) and that boca burger is all cooked and cut up. Then mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
Easy peasy. Add different ingredients if you like. I would have added tomato, but I didn't have any :( If you're willing to add an extra point on there, cook up a slice of bacon and cut it up to add to the salad too! Or maybe sauteed onions or zucchini. Whatever you'd put on an actual cheeseburger, you can add to this salad. I think it's safe to say that almost ANY sandwich could be made into a salad! (except for an ice cream sandwich….)

Japan to Welcome Further Nuclear Help From Outsiders
TOKYO—The Japanese government has improved its ability to tap into the knowledge of nuclear experts from around the world and plans to use the foreign help more in addressing the nuclear crisis, the chief government spokesman said.
As Japan's battle with its worst nuclear accident drags on at the Tokyo Electric Power Co. plant, Tokyo has been criticized for its unwillingness to ask for swift help from other major nuclear nations and its inefficiency in using aid once it arrived.
Yukio Edano, the chief cabinet secretary, said that is changing. "We have made considerable efforts to set up a structure where we can tap into the knowledge and expertise accumulated among people both in Japan and around the world," he said in an interview. "If we can use it well, we should be able to overcome our problems."
The U.S. government and military are part of Tokyo's efforts to put together longer-term solutions to the problems at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, while battling urgent day-to-day problems, Mr. Edano said. On Tuesday, the Department of Energy said it shipped a robot with several "radiation hardened cameras" to be used in surveys in areas where radiation levels are high. The U.S. military has sent in a barge to help with efforts to cool the reactors.
Japan has also asked France for expert help in dealing with highly contaminated water that is now hampering efforts to restore power and cooling functions knocked down by the quake and tsunami on March 11. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is due to arrive in Tokyo Thursday to discuss the nuclear issue, among other topics, with Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
The Japanese government sees a "sufficient possibility" for bringing the current nuclear crisis to closure while avoiding a flare-up that would compromise the health of its people, Mr. Edano said. He cautioned, however, that the current situation doesn't allow for optimism and declined to say he was confident the problems can be fixed.
"Even if we can contain the problem today, we wouldn't call it a satisfactory conclusion as we have already caused huge problems for various people," the 46-year-old lawmaker said. "We are focused on avoiding health problems for the people, and I honestly believe we have a sufficient possibility for reaching such a conclusion."
At a time when endless streams of devastating news have made many Japanese overwrought and worried, Mr. Edano's youthful energy and confident, but carefully delivered, speeches have made him a highly popular figure. His frequent public appearances have made him the most visible face of the government during the crisis.
He said Wednesday that no single solution will fix the current problems. Rather, he said, officials have to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously, continuing to cool the overheating reactor cores while trying to contain the contamination from spreading into the ocean and the environment.
Mr. Edano said he expects Tepco to fulfill its responsibility in battling the crisis even amid change at the top. The utility company said Wednesday that Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata has assumed the role of acting president after Chief Executive Masataka Shimizu was hospitalized for high blood pressure and dizziness.
"Mr. Katsumata has a long experience leading Tokyo Electric's management, including a period as president," Mr. Edano said. "We expect him to show leadership that will make up for the absence of the president in the current tough environment."
Mr. Shimizu had stayed out of the public's view in the past two weeks, prompting speculation about his whereabouts. Tokyo Electric has said Mr. Shimizu was absent from the disaster center at the company's headquarters for nearly a week during the crisis as his health problem kept him in another part of the company.

Egyptian themed video slots is one of the busiest genres around, probably because they tend to be popular. Enter Pharaoh's Tomb, a 5 reel 3D video slot from Sheriff Gaming which takes full advantage of the Egyptian theme. Try it above to see how it all works or read on to learn more.
How to play Pharaoh's Tomb
The control panel is made up of all the usual buttons which have been disguised as stones. There are three in the middle that can be used to change bets between 0.01 and $100 per game. To achieve this you must simply choose a bet (0.01 to $1), then a line bet (up to 5 coins per line) and decide whether to limit the number of lines from the default 20.
You may decide to use automatic spins instead of regular ones. This function is nestled beside the double up button. The double up button provides access to a double up game after any winning combination is gained. Your choice, as the name suggests, could double your prize money or reduce it to zero if you guess incorrectly.
Pharaoh's Tomb Features Explained
The wild pharaoh sarcophagus statue is wild (it's marked wild too) and can appear on reels 2, 3 or 4. This wild can substitute for any regular icon, bringing with it a raft of new winning chances.
Scorpions probably wouldn't be a welcome thing to encounter in real life but on this slot will award prizes three or more appear in any position. This theoretically makes these prizes easier to win.
Cleopatra also appears as a scattered icon but she unlocks 5, 10 or 15 free spins when 3, 4 or 5 of her icons are visible after any spin.

To date we have had 30 burglaries or attempted burglaries since August 16, 2007. Most of these burglaries have occurred in the northeast or southeast portions of the county, although reports have come in from all areas.
In addition, we have been working with Green and Walworth Counties reference additional burglaries that have occurred in their jurisdictions that demonstrate similarities to the cases that have been reported in our jurisdiction.
Typically, the burglaries are occurring in the daytime between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Electronics, large screen TVs, computer monitors, and guns are some of the items that have been targeted.
With this recent rash of home burglaries and thefts throughout Rock County over the past several months, Sheriff Spoden would like to remind the citizens of Rock County of the following safety measures:
•Make sure that all locks on doors and windows are in working order.
•When you leave your home, make sure that all doors and windows are locked. Even when leaving your home momentarily to walk the dog or doing yard work it is a good idea to lock your home. Turn on your alarm system if your home is so equipped.
•Properly secure all sliding glass doors and windows regardless of what floor they are located. For added security, a wooden dowel can be placed within the sliding door track to prevent the door from being slid opened.
•Keep your garage door closed, and make sure that the interior door to your home is locked and dead bolted. This is one of the most commonly used entrances for burglars.
•Keep a record of the model and serial numbers of all valuable items like television sets, stereo equipment, computers, video/camera equipment, firearms, etc. If there is no model or serial numbers on your equipment, engrave your driver's license number onto those items.
•Keep your vehicle locked and do not leave items of value within your vehicle, take them in your house.
•Keep valuables such as jewelry and coin collections in a safety deposit box if at all possible. If you keep these items at home, keep their location and value confidential.
•Be aware of and report all suspicious persons or vehicles to law enforcement. If at all possible, vehicle descriptions to include make, model, color, and license plate number, as well as occupant descriptions can be very helpful to law enforcement.
•Be alert in protecting your neighbors property as well as your own.
•Be very cautious of strangers. When in doubt, call law enforcement. Often times, burglars will check a home for occupants by knocking on the door. If you answer the door, they may lead you to believe they are lost and simply looking for directions and then leave the area.
•Never allow anyone into your home unless you know them.
•Do not reveal your name, phone number, or address to unknown callers. Never admit to them that you are home alone or when you will be away from home.
•Never leave notes that can inform a burglar that a home is unoccupied.
•Do not hide keys outside your home. Burglars know where to look.
•If possible, set a timer to switch the lights on and off at predetermined times. A home that appears to be occupied is a deterrent for most burglars.
•If you or a family member loses a house key, have your locks re-keyed.
•Do not advertise that you are a woman living alone. Use your first initial only along with your last name on the mailbox and for telephone listings.
•Get to know your neighbors. Look out for your neighbor's property just as you would want them to watch out for yours.
If you are planning to be away for an extended period of time:
•Leave information with a trusted neighbor as to where you can be contacted if necessary. Have them occasionally park their car in your driveway.
•Have someone watch your house, mow your lawn and pickup mail and newspapers.
•Do not leave the lights on 24 hours a day.
•Leave drapes in a normal position to maintain a lived-in appearance.
If citizens should see any suspicious vehicles and/or persons, they should immediately dial 757-2244 to report the incident.
Anyone with any further information on these or any other crimes should contact the Rock County Detective Bureau at 608-757-7923.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we're now right in the Beltane window, between May 1-5, midway between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. The sap has risen, the seeds are being sown, and the lambs are born and frolicking in the fields. A festival at this time has long been celebrated, with a focus on fertility and also on labour, and is still commemorated as May Day in many countries.
This is the time of year when farms get hungry for workers and historically this would have been the most active time for hiring labour. After the semi-hibernation of the pre-industrial winter, the rhythm shifted at this point from gradual reemergence to full immersion in activity. Beltane coincided with the moving of livestock to summer grazing areas, an activity that took people out of their homes and into the woods and fields. These seasonal shifts are hardwired into our DNA and honouring them helps ground us in the current moment. Modern day equivalents for this particular seasonal shift include planting frost-sensitive flowering plants and crops, moving winter clothes to the back of the closet, buying new furnishings after the Equinoctial spring clean, and spending as much time as you can outside in the countryside.
Beltane is usually celebrated on either April 30 (May Eve), or on May 1. This year, as most years, the Beltane cross-quarter day falls on May 5 (when the Sun is at 15 Taurus), and this is an alternative to May 1 as a time to celebrate Beltane. Before there were calendars, Beltane was signalled by the blooming of the hawthorn (also known as the May). Beltane occurs exactly at the opposite end of the ceremonial year to Samhain/Hallowe'en, and celebrates life as Samhain honors death. Beltane is the time of conception, of the physical beginning of new life. It is the most physically passionate of the ancient festivals.
Beltane was the time for celebrating the blossoming of spring, and the fertility of land and livestock. It is one of the four cross-quarter days of the year, traditionally seen as the most potent moments for transformation. The cross-quarter days were celebrated when the Sun was at 15 degrees of the fixed signs. Beltane falls under the fixed sign of Taurus, ruled appropriately by Venus, the goddess of love, fertility, and abundance. At 15 degrees of Taurus this energy is ripe and charged for activation. (In Britain, chimney-sweeps, traditionally associated with other worlds and with sacred sexuality, have their saints-day on May 5.)
The name Beltane is thought to have meant bright or sacred fire, (bealltainn in Gaelic) and on May Eve the hilltops would have been ablaze with huge bonfires, and the woods and fields ablaze with the fires of love. Like Mardi Gras, Beltane functioned as a ritualized antidote to the rules and laws of relationship and sexuality that keep society well-ordered. These rules, if adhered to rigidly, can cause depression, aggression, and general malaise. At Beltane the rules were lifted, in honor of the burgeoning, expansive energy of springtime, and the primitive need to ensure the fertility of the fields by sacrificing the individual personality to acts of sacred, impersonal sexuality. Children conceived at Beltane were considered to be special, produced from the union of two people meeting the god and goddess within each other, not just the temporal man and woman.
Beltane is a time when new bonds can be formed as inhibitions loosen, inspired by the blossoming, heart-opening atmosphere of full spring. Beltane/May Day is the juncture of the year hardwired into our DNA as the strongest moment of life-giving lust. The Maypole is more than just a phallic symbol: the twining of the ribbons around the pole evokes the DNA spiral, and symbolizes the eternal round of life.
Here are some ritual ideas for a modern day version of Beltane, taken from old ceremonies: Light a fire/candles, and let the smoke purify you, (you can also use sage or incense for this). Dance clockwise around the fire, praying for fertility (of body and/or mind). If you are attracted to someone, this might be a good time to talk to them about your feelings and see if they are reciprocated. Whether your relationship is new or old, it's a great time to go with your beloved into the countryside for a day, or better still a camping trip that allows you to sleep outdoors and perhaps build a campfire. And this is an ideal time for a party and general merry-making.
A HAPPY BELTANE to all my readers!

About segments
A segment is a subset of your Analytics data. For example, of your entire set of users, one segment might be users from a particular country or city. Another segment might be users who purchase a particular line of products or who visit a specific part of your site.
Segments let you isolate and analyze those subsets of data so you can examine and respond to the component trends in your business. For example, if you find that users from a particular geographic region are no longer purchasing a line of products in the same volume as they normally have, you can see whether a competing business is offering the same types of products at lower prices. If that turned out to be the case, you could respond by offering a loyalty discount to those users that undercuts your competitor's prices.
You can also use segments as the basis for Remarketing Audiences. For example, you might create a segment of users who visit your menswear pages, and then target just those users (your Remarketing Audience) with a remarketing campaign that is focused on the new items that you are adding to those pages.In this article:
Segment types
Segments represent either subsets of sessions or subsets of users:
- Subsets of sessions: for example, all sessions originating from Campaign A; all sessions during which a purchase occurred
- Subsets of users: for example, users who have previously purchased; users who added items to their shopping carts, but didn't complete a purchase
Reviewing the Analytics User Model first will help you conceptualize how segments work. There are three major components to the Analytics user model:
- Users
- Sessions: A user arrives at and interacts with your property. All of these user interactions are grouped into what is referred to as a session.
- Hit: During a session the user interacts with your property. Each interaction is referred to as a hit. Example hits include pageviews, events, transactions, etc.
A single user can have multiple sessions, and each session can have multiple hits. Visually, this is represented below:
Using Segments
Segments are non-destructive filters that do not change your underlying data. Once you apply a segment, it remains active as you navigate throughout the reports, until you remove it. You can apply up to four segments at a time, and compare results from each segment side by side in your reports.
In addition to analyzing data with segments, you can use them to build audiences for remarketing.
Analytics includes predefined segments (System Segments) that you can use as provided, or that you can copy and edit to create new custom segments. You can also build your own segments from scratch. In addition, you can import segments from the Analytics Solutions Gallery, a free marketplace where Analytics users share segments and other solutions they've developed.
Segment definition and scope
You define segments by creating filters based on the dimensions and metrics in your Analytics reports; for example:
- User Type exactly matches "Returning User"
- Country/Territory exactly matches "United States"
- Ecommerce Conversion Rate > "0.2%"
In addition to the dimensions and metrics you use in filters, you also have to set the scope of the data for a filter. There are three different scopes you can use:
- Hit: Behavior confined to a single action, for example, viewing a page or starting a video.
- Session: Behavior within a single session; for example, the goals that users completed during a session, or the amount of revenue they generated during a session.
- User: Behavior across all sessions within the date range you're using, up to 90 days; for example all the goals users completed or all the revenue they generated (across all sessions) during the date range.
You use the segment builder to define the component filters of a segment.
Limits on segments
Segments are subject to the following limits:
Total segments
- 1000 segments per account
- 100 segments per user, per view
- 100 segments shared across users, per view
These limits include system segments and any segments you create or import. You cannot create or import additional segments once you reach these limits.
Segments applied to reports
You can have up to 4 segments applied to your reports at any one time.
Date ranges
With user-based segments, you can apply a maximum date range of 90 days to your reports. If your date range is already set to more than 90 days, then when you create a user-based segment, Analytics resets the date range to 90 days from the start date.
Segments based on the Date of First Session option are limited to maximum range of 31 days.
Data limits on user-based segments
As stated above, user-based segments have a maximum date range of 90 days. For that 90 days, Analytics reports on only the first 1000 sessions for each user. Session counts beyond 1000 in a 90-day period are usually an indication of non-human traffic.
Multi-Channel Funnels
Do not use segments with Multi-Channel Funnel reports. Use Conversion segments instead.
AdWords cost data
AdWords cost data is not compatible with segments. If you apply a segment to an AdWords report that includes cost data, then the cost data all have zero values.

Puig leads Dodgers to 3-1 win over Giants
LOS ANGELES One by one, Los Angeles Dodgers opponents are learning the perils of challenging Yasiel Puig.
The rookie sensation hit his seventh home run in 20 major league games and added a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning against Madison Bumgarner, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.
"Yasiel is a phenomenal talent right now," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "The league's trying to figure him out and they're trying to see what the best way to approach him is. But he's making them go back and scratch their heads a lot, because he's hitting everything and hitting it hard. I'm just really happy he's on our side. The way he plays the game is just infectious, and the energy he brings to our lineup is something that was sorely missed.
Nick Punto, who replaced third baseman Juan Uribe in a double switch, led off the eighth with an opposite-field double down the right-field line. Mark Ellis sacrificed Punto to third and reached safely when Bumgarner threw high to first for an error.
Puig greeted George Kontos with a line-drive single to left that scored Punto.
"He's someone who really thrives in the moment," A.J. Ellis said. "One of my best friends in baseball is the Double-A manager for the Diamondbacks, Andy Green. And when I called him and asked him what he thought about Puig, the thing that impressed him the most was that Puig never shied away from the big stage. It seemed like his best at-bats in a game came in the late stages and those clutch situations. And we're seeing that right now. There's no secret that he loves the spotlight."
Hanley Ramirez drove in the final run two batters later on a liner toward the middle that shortstop Brandon Crawford knocked down with a lunging attempt before getting the out at first.
Kontos was recalled from Triple-A Fresno before the game, while Jean Machi was sent back to the Giants' Pacific Coast League club. Kontos was optioned to the minors on June 11, the day he received a three-game suspension for throwing at Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen. But since he is appealing the penalty, Kontos is eligible to play until his case is heard by Major League Baseball.
Paco Rodriguez (2-2) got two outs and Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his fifth save.
The Dodgers' third straight victory tied their longest winning streak this season, which came back in early April. This was their ninth attempt at matching it.
"We've been trying to get over this three-game hump for a while, so it was important for us to break through today," A.J. Ellis said. "We just want to carry the momentum into tomorrow."
Bumgarner (7-5) was charged with three runs - two earned - and five hits in seven-plus innings with five strikeouts in his 100th big league start. The 23-year-old left-hander engaged in another tense duel with Hyun-Jin Ryu in a rematch of their April 2 meeting, when Bumgarner spoiled the Korean-born lefty's major league debut with eight innings of two-hit ball and retired 18 consecutive batters during a 3-0 win at Dodger Stadium.
Ryu allowed a run, eight hits and four walks in 6 2-3 innings. He was lifted by manager Don Mattingly after Buster Posey reached second on a fly to right field that Puig was just about to catch when his backside made contact with the auxiliary scoreboard and the ball fell behind him. The play was originally ruled an error, then changed to a double by official scorer Don Hartack.

My name is Ariel Elizabeth Kirkland and my son and I live in Charlotte, NC.
I started a petition to Mayor Anthony Foxx and City Council Representative John Autry, District 5 to implement a city-wide ban on non-compostable plastic bags. I need as many signatures as I can get to make an impact.
Would you please take 10 seconds to sign and share it right now?
This is why it's important:
As Americans we throw away 100 billion plastic bags a year that is the equivalent of 12 million barrels of oil, yet only 1-2% of these bags are recycled.
Thousands of marine animals and more than one million birds die annually as a result of plastic pollution. Plastic bags are ingested by animals, blocking their digestive system, resulting in death by choking,starvation,or suffocation. Animals also become entangled in plastic waste resulting in drowning, incapacitation, injury, and/or strangulation. Nearly 90% of oceanic debris is plastic.
There are 46,000 pieces of plastic debris floa ting in every square mile of ocean. Whether the plastic photo-degrades in a landfill or in the water it never ever goes away.
You and I are all a part of this. WE should want to leave a healthy bright world to our children, not a world where nature's infinite beauties and possibilities are just memories lost on the wind or histories read about in books. Remember, "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children". Thank you for your time and have a great day.

MONTREAL — Two-time winner Jim Furyk birdied two of his last four holes Friday in the Canadian Open to match the Royal Montreal course record at 7-under 63 and tie Tim Petrovic atop the leaderboard.
The 44-year-old Furyk, the 2006 winner at Hamilton and 2007 champion at Angus Glen, matched Petrovic at 10-under 130 on the tree-line Blue Course.
"Winning any event is special," Furyk said. "I've had a lot of success (in Canada) and really a lot of support here. But we're only at the halfway point."
The 47-year-old Petrovic followed his opening 64 with a 66. He missed the cuts in his past five events.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community

"I have been hitting the ball really well for about the last three weeks," Petrovic said. "I've seen signs of some good rounds coming. Am I surprised? Maybe a little."
Canada's Graham DeLaet, playing with Furyk and Matt Kuchar, was two strokes back along with Gig Harbor's Kyle Stanley. DeLaet, trying to become the first Canadian winner in the event in 60 years, had a 63.
Stanley shot 67 and is at 8-under 132. Michael Putnam of University Place, who was tied for the lead after the first day, had a 70 and slipped to a tie for ninth at 6-under 134. Joel Dahman, a former Husky from Clarkston, had a 72 for a 2-under 138 and is tied for 37th. Kevin Chappell, who owns a home in Kirkland, had a 67 and is tied for 50th at 1-under 139. Former Huskies Alex Prugh (74) and Richard H. Lee (WD) missed the cut.
Furyk, coming off a fourth-place finish in the British Open, made four consecutive birdies on Nos. 11-14 on his opening nine on the rain-softened course and added birdies on Nos. 1, 6 and 8.
"The golf course is soft and receptive, and they have it set up where we can attack and fire at pins, so scores are going to be good," Furyk said. "It would be a totally different scenario if these greens were firm."
Big cushion for Langer
BRIDGEND, Wales — Bernhard Langer has a seven-stroke cushion to take into the third round of the Senior British Open after shooting a 5-under 66 to add to his opening 65.
The German is at 11-under 131 at a sunny Royal Porthcawl with Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and South African-based Englishman Chris Williams tied for second at 4-under 138. Montgomerie shot 66 while Williams added a 70 to his opening 68.
Fred Couples of Seattle had another 71 and is tied for ninth at even-par 142. Kirk Triplett, a graduate of Pullman High, had another 72 and is tied for 20th at 2-over 144.
• A switch in pairings led to a change in fortune for the United States in the International Crown in Owings Mills, Md. Coming off a dismal showing in the opening round, the U.S. shuffled its lineup and got the desired result, beating Spain twice to earn its first points in the eight-country competition. Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr took control on the back nine against Belen Mozo and Beatriz Recari in a 3-and-2 victory, and Paula Creamer and Stacy Lewis held on to beat Azahara Munoz and Carlota Ciganda 2 up. After two days, Thailand leads Pool A with five points, followed by Taiwan and the U.S. with four points apiece and Spain with three.
• Davis Riley, a 17-year-old from Hattiesburg, Miss., who lost in the final last year, will meet William Zalatoris, a 17-year-old from Plano, Texas, in an all-America final at the U.S. Junior Amateur in The Woodlands, Texas.
• David Horsey, a 29-year-old from England, shot a 4-under 68 for a two-stroke lead at the halfway mark of the Russian Open in Moscow.
• The Royal & Ancient Golf Club will hold a postal vote on whether to admit women members for the first time. The club announced Friday that it would allow members to vote by post rather than limiting the vote to members attending in person. The club says "by taking this decision all members can take part in this historic vote." Club rules previously required members to be present to vote.
