TAMPA, Fla. — Tourism is Florida's biggest industry and the state's location provides distributors access to customers in neighboring Caribbean countries.
Positioned within 150 miles of many Caribbean islands, south Florida distributors distribute produce to island and Central American customers.
"For us, exports have been a boon and a great growth area," said Bruce Fishbein, partner with Miami-based The Produce Connection Inc.
The Produce Connection distributes containers of produce to 15 countries.
Export sales aren't as strong as before for Freedom Fresh LLC of Miami, said Walter Vazquez Jr., chief executive officer.
"All of these countries in the Caribbean and in South America and Central America, they're very reliant on the U.S. and tourism in general to support them."
Sunrise Produce, Jacksonville, sells to Caribbean customers through containers shipped from the Port of Jacksonville.
"Exports are a very strong segment of the business," said Abbey Deckman, sales manager. "It's a very good situation because the customers pick up, we don't have to deliver it."
Business recently increased a little after Hurricane Sandy disrupted operations of some northeastern-based exporters, Deckman said.
Tourism, particularly in Orlando amusement parks, remains depressed, said Ernie Harvill, president of Orlando-based Harvill's Produce Co.
"It's kind of leveled off," he said. "It really went downhill pretty bad at the beginning of the recession."
The Tampa Bay economy is strongly dependent on tourism, distributors say.
"Tourism has been down for the last few years," said James Killebrew, vice president of Tampa-based Baird Produce Inc., which distributes throughout the state.
"People are still reeling from the fall back of the Gulf Oil spill. It hasn't recovered. We also don't have the same number of snowbirds coming to visit."
Coosemans Tampa Inc., Tampa, sells to jobbers that serve the state's booming cruise ship business.
"That business seems to be doing well," said Justin Warren, general manager. "Business is strong. They order a lot of specialties. We're seeing more orders from those servicing the cruise ships."
Warren said one of his employees recently returned from a cruise and said the ship was packed with people.

Royals can't catch break in race with Tigers
Shields' eight K's in seven innings not enough as KC falls 7 1/2 back
KANSAS CITY -- This prelude to the All-Star break is starting to feel uncomfortably familiar to the Royals.
A year ago, they were dead-set on rising to the .500 mark and instead lost five straight games to go six under at the break. This year, they've dropped three straight to Detroit and another loss on Sunday would mean they've sunk to .500 for the first time in a month.
The Tigers defeated the Royals, 5-1, on Saturday night with 33,849 fans watching the top two teams in the American League Central at Kauffman Stadium. That put the Tigers 7 1/2 games ahead, the Royals' biggest deficit of the season.
Amidst the clubhouse gloom, however, losing pitcher James Shields found a glimmer of hope. He reflected that after the five straight losses a year ago, the Royals roared out of the break and jumped into the AL Wild Card race.
"Maybe we should lose five, considering what we did after the break last year," Shields said, managing a smile. "You never know."
Even manager Ned Yost spun a positive note.
"I think to this point we've under-achieved as a club; but we're still seven games better than we were last year," Yost said. "We know that we're a second-half club. We've been a second-half club the last two years, so we'll take this opportunity to catch our breath and get back after it."
Last year the club was 43-49 at the break, six games under. Right now, they're 47-46, one game over. That's Yost's seven.
The Tigers got single runs off Shields in the third and fourth innings and he finished strong, facing the minimum nine batters in the fifth through the seventh.
"I thought he just pitched his tail off," Yost said.
The Royals got their only run in the sixth off Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello when Salvador Perez and Omar Infante each singled, and Billy Butler stroked a sacrifice fly. The score was still 2-1 going into the ninth.
That's when reliever Aaron Crow took over for the Royals and his string of 9 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings quickly turned to dust. J.D. Martinez led off the ninth with a home run to left-center field.
After the Tigers won an instant replay challenge -- Nick Castellanos was safe on an error at first base -- Alex Avila crashed a two-run homer to right field. Suddenly the Tigers had a four-run advantage.
What did Yost see from Crow?
"Nothing. I mean nothing," Yost said. "He was behind in the count on every hitter and you can't pitch that club behind on every count."
The Tigers, who last year lost the season series to the Royals, 10-9, are dominating this year's series, winning nine of 12 games so far. They're 6-0 in Kansas City.
"It often has to do with when you play a team," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "You wouldn't have said that at our place a few weeks ago when they took three out of four."
And when the Royals left Detroit at that time, they were in first place by a half-game. Now, they're 7 1/2 out.
"This was a big series for us going into the break," Porcello said. "We're definitely looking to at least create some space between us and we've been able to do that so far."
The Royals went into this showdown series feeling confident.
"All the way up to this series we've been feeling really good over the last three weeks to a month or so," Shields said. "We were playing really good baseball."
Not now. So far in this series the Royals have lost 16-4, 2-1 and 5-1. With runners in scoring position, they're just 3-for-21.
"It's the big leagues," Yost said. "You're either getting it done or not getting it done. And we're not getting it done."
The Royals have 69 games remaining.
"We've still got a long way to go," Butler said. "We'd love to win the division. I don't know how far we're back in the Wild Card, but we're still in it basically in every aspect."
The Royals are three games out in the AL Wild Card race.
"We want to get in the playoffs. We'd love to win the division, don't get me wrong," Butler said. "That's our main goal, but we're still right in the thick of stuff."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A federal appeals court Thursday upheld the constitutionality of a heavily lobbied 2002 law that prevents Florida doctors from referring kidney-dialysis patients to labs in which the doctors have financial stakes.
National dialysis-clinic companies Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., and Davita, Inc., along with a Davita subsidiary, challenged the restrictions, arguing that they conflicted with a federal law and were aimed politically at helping a Florida laboratory firm.
But the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 23-page ruling that upheld the law, which the state contends was designed to help hold down health-care costs and prevent over-utilization of services and conflicts of interest. The three-judge panel agreed with a lower court that, among other things, the law did not discriminate against Fresenius and Davita and didn't violate their constitutional rights.
"Because it is reasonably conceivable that Florida ESRD (end-stage renal disease) patients would be better served if their physicians were prohibited from making self-referrals to associated laboratories, we conclude that the Florida act survives rational basis scrutiny and that the law does not deprive appellants (Fresenius and Davita) of their rights to substantive due process,'' part of the ruling said.
The Legislature in 1992 passed a law that barred most physicians from sending patients to labs in which the doctors had financial interests, but the measure included an exemption for physicians in the dialysis industry. That was similar to a federal law that applied to physicians who treated Medicaid and Medicare patients.
During a 2002 special legislative session, however, Florida lawmakers eliminated the exemption for physicians in the dialysis industry. The move, which was included in a broader health-care bill, came after a lobbying battle in the industry.
Fresenius and Davita, which filed the lawsuit in 2003, argued the change would harm what court documents describe as a "vertically integrated" business model, which would allow them to refer blood work to associated labs after patients receive dialysis at their clinics.
The lawsuit contended that the restrictions were unconstitutional, in part, because the federal law trumps state law. Also, it said the restrictions improperly discriminated against out-of-state companies that had "vertically integrated" business models and that the change was motivated politically to help a Florida firm, identified in court documents as ESRD Laboratories.
"In fact, the Florida act benefits ESRD Laboratories by diverting laboratory work from appellants, helping the domestic company obtain a larger share of the market for laboratory services,'' Fresenius and Davita attorneys wrote in an appeals-court brief.
But state attorneys countered in a brief that nothing in the law prevents the companies from operating in Florida and that it does not discriminate against out-of-state firms. Also, the state argued lawmakers have the legal latitude to make such changes if, for example, they believe physician self-referrals to laboratories would increase health costs.
"If indeed plaintiffs' claims are rooted in fact, and if indeed the Legislature's assumptions are fallacious, plaintiffs have remedies in both Congress and the Florida Legislature,'' the state brief said. "But for now, they have not even shown the Florida self-referral law, insofar as it might affect their laboratories, has had any impact at all."
The appeals court made similar conclusions about issues such as whether the law discriminated against Fresenius and Davita.
"Although the burden at present falls solely on appellants, and although they may no longer enjoy certain competitive advantages over an in-state competitor, the Florida act does not inhibit the competitive, interstate market for the provision of renal dialysis clinical and laboratory services,'' the ruling said. "Out-of-state businesses may freely enter the market to operate clinics and laboratories in Florida so long as they comply with the Florida act's prohibition against physician self-referrals."

Penn Game Notes (PDF) / Harvard Game Notes (PDF) / Dartmouth Game Notes (PDF)
The Harvard-Dartmouth Road Trip
The Quakers have made this Northern New England swing 56 times; the Quakers have swept the trip 34 times, split it 17 times, and been swept five times (but not since 1987-88). Last year, Penn swept both games, ending a four-year streak of weekend splits.
The Harvard Series
*The Quakers and the Crimson have met 162 times in men's basketball, with Penn holding a 128-34 lead in the series.
*That said, Harvard had won six in a row and seven of eight before Feb. 25 of last year, when Penn came into Cambridge and knocked off the Crimson, 55-54. In fact, Penn's last two wins over Harvard have both come at Lavietes Pavilion (also Jan. 30, 2009).
The Dartmouth Series
*The Quakers and the Big Green have met 203 times in men's basketball, with Penn holding a 147-56 series lead.
*Penn won both games last year, but not by much; the Quakers earned a 58-55 decision at the buzzer at The Palestra, then downed Dartmouth 57-54 in Hanover. Overall, the Quakers have won six in a row in the series and 29 of the last 31 meetings (the lone exceptions being both games in the 2008-09 season).
He'll Take The Charity
Junior Miles Cartwright started the season by going 12-of-19 at the foul line -- unusual, given that he began the season at almost 80 percent for his career. Since then, however, he has returned to form -- in fact, he has surpassed it. Cartwright enters the weekend having gone 85-of-93 (.914) over his last 19 games and has made 26 in a row in the past five games dating back to Temple.
Closing in on 1,000
Cartwright enters the weekend with 966 career points, and needs 34 to become the 38th player in Penn history to reach the milestone. The last player to get there was Tyler Bernardini, who hit the mark at Yale on Feb. 19, 2011.
It's Worth Noting...
*Penn has led at the half in each of the last five games and six of the last seven, after doing so just three times in the first 15 contests.
*Penn is 6-0 in the Jerome Allen era when holding an opponent below 50 points, and 22-5 when holding its opponent below 60.
*Penn has matched or had fewer turnovers than its opponent five times in the last six games, after doing so just five times in the first 16 contests.
*Penn has had more assists than turnovers four times in the last six games, after accomplishing that feat just twice in the first 16 contests.
*Three of Penn's last four opponents have shot below 34 percent from the field; last weekend, Yale and Brown shot a combined 31.9 percent (36 of 113).
*Junior Miles Cartwright has scored more than 20 points in three of Penn's last five games, including a career-high 28 last Saturday against Brown.
*Freshman Tony Hicks enters the weekend with a modest three-game streak of double-figure scoring games, and has hit a modest eight straight free throws.
*Sophomore Henry Brooks has scored at least eight points in seven of the last 12 games including three double-figure outings.
*Sophomore Camryn Crocker has a 2.75 assist/turnover ratio over the last 10 games (33/12).
*Freshman Darien Nelson-Henry had a seven-game run of double-figure scoring games (13.6 ppg) before getting injured early last weekend and missing most of the action against Yale and Brown; he is expected to be back in the lineup this weekend.
*Nelson-Henry also has averaged 5.7 rebounds per game the last six contests.
*Junior Dau Jok entered this season with nine career points and seven rebounds; he entered the January 5 game at La Salle with 37 career points and 29 career boards; in the last 10 games, he has scored 58 points and snared 34 rebounds.
*After averaging 10.1 minutes through the first 16 games this season, sophomore Patrick-Lucas Perry has seen his court time rise to 23.4 mpg over the last five contests. In that time, "PLP" has averaged 9.2 points per game and shot 44.0 percent on three-pointers.
*Lucas-Perry has not missed a free throw since Dec. 1 at Penn State; that said, he has only taken nine in that time.

DOMINIC Day has warned Bath to be braced for a fiery reception at Rodney Parade as they try to wrap up progress to the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter finals against Newport Gwent Dragons tomorrow (2.30pm).
Victory in Newport would book Bath's place in the last eight ahead of the final pool match against Bordeaux-Begles next Thursday, but the Dragons themselves still harbour outside hopes of qualification and the mere presence of English visitors will be enough to ensure a tough examination.
Day, who made more than 100 appearances for the Scarlets before joining Bath in 2012, said: "I remember from playing at Scarlets, it was always a big week whenever you were playing an English side because there is that rivalry between Wales and England. Especially as we're going so well, they will go in there trying to get a big scalp.
"They're still in the running in the Amlin and we desperately need the win.
"Lyn Jones is there coaching and he's a quality coach. They've got a lot of ambition and they're signing some quality players (the signings of Wales internationals Lee Byrne and Aled Brew were announced this week) as well.
"I think the Dragons, they just get involved around the breakdown and make it hard for you.
"They haven't really got any superstars in their team but they play well together and have got a game plan.
"We've got to go there and try to overcome everything they do, try to get our set piece working and give our backs a platform to do what they did last week (against Leicester).
"We know what we've got to do. Not many people go to Rodney Parade and win and it may be scrappy at times, but we've got to win.''
With the Aviva Premiership taking a break until next month, Bath can focus on progress in cup competitions, with places in the knockout stages of both the Amlin and LV= cups very much within reach.
Day said: "We've got the chance, over the next month or so to get into a couple of quarter-finals and semi-finals.
"We've started well in both the LV= (Cup) and the Amlin and we just need to push on now to the next stage because it's another chance to get some silverware."

SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Gold team, coached by Lee Parks, won Game 2 of the 2012 Blood Bowl on Thursday night in a 4-0 triumph over the Black squad at Thomas B. Southard Stadium. The victory gives Gold a sweep of this year's Blood Bowl and means that the Black squad will donate blood on November 28.
The Gold team pitching would highlight the game holding the Black squad scoreless while allowing only one hit through the seven inning contest. Gold Squad starting pitcher Charles Neely would get the win going three innings of scoreless and hitless baseball while striking out two. Neely would also help his cause at the plate hitting a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second, scoring Blake Turner for the first run of the game.
Lefty Brandon Terry would follow Neely on the mound throwing three innings of scoreless baseball while striking out five of the 10 hitters he faced. Terry would also add an infield single to add to his evening.
The final run for the Gold Squad would cross in the bottom of the sixth when Blake Turner would score on a RBI single by Brandon Mumaw.
Senior closer Matt Hewitt would close out the game, striking out one and giving the Gold squad its third Blood Bowl Championship in five years.
Game 3 of the series will still be played Monday, November 5 at 5 p.m. with stakes still to be determined by the Seniors. Admission is free to the public.

Currently, there is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes mellitus. Researchers are investigating the possible causes of type 1 diabetes.
However if you have diabetes already, you can reduce your risk for complications from this disease by keeping blood glucose within a normal range, and keeping your blood pressure and cholesterol low. This is done through a combination of insulin, a healthful diet, regular exercise, and likely a medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Talk with your doctor to determine what a healthful blood glucose range is for you (or your child).

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Prosecutors say a driver's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit when he hit and killed a tow truck driver on a central Ohio interstate highway last fall.
A grand jury in Columbus indicted 59-year-old Thomas Frederick on Wednesday. He's charged with two counts of operating a vehicle under the influence, aggravated vehicular homicide and other charges.
Prosecutors said his blood alcohol level was 0.242 at the time of the early morning Sept. 29 crash. The legal limit for driving in Ohio is 0.80.
He is charged with killing 60-year-old William Houck, who was standing along the berm of Interstate 71 hooking a vehicle to his tow truck when he was hit.
A working phone number for Frederick couldn't be found Wednesday.

LOCAL mum Karen Curtis presented a cheque for £2,400 to a Westonzoyland-based charity Ups and Downs Southwest that helps parents of children with Down Syndrome.
This was on top of £420 Karen raised earlier in the year for the charity and was awarded the 'fundraiser of the year'.
For this award Karen was presented with a framed photo of her little girl April.
Karen said: "I have really appreciated the support of the charity since my little girl was born with Down syndrome. The news came as a bit of a shock and Ups and Downs Southwest have been really supportive for me and my family.
"They were there for me right from the beginning and have also put me in touch with some other families locally."
The charity was set up 17 years ago by Wendy O'Carroll when her son Oliver was born with Down syndrome.
Ups and Downs originally started in Wendy's front room, but now employs 8 staff and has supported around 500 families across the Southwest.
Wendy said: "When my son was a baby, we were told that he would have difficulty walking and talking yet now he's a great skate-boarder and gives interviews on the radio. He's on a mainstream college course and is hoping to become a professional photographer."

text: I'm not sure how they will pay for it, but if it does happen then Miami will be gone for sure and it wouldn't shock me to see OC take a one year break. There is a lot of buzz right now about Kelly Bensimon and Bethenny Frankel returning to Real Housewives. They are mortal enemies which guarantee ratings and the franchise needs a big boost in some city to keep waning interest flagging. New York almost didn't even get aired this time around but the producers want to keep it because it is currently the least expensive to shoot. That would change. Kelly and Bethenny are asking about quadruple what a regular Housewife would get paid. There is talk they would only have to actually hang out together a few times and those of course would be what you would end up seeing because they both know what their roles would be. It is an interesting idea but would Bethenny take a step back? Kelly thinks she has a million other things going on but has jumped into the deep end with the conversation. Kelly might be back on board even if Bethenny doesn't come back, but Kelly wouldn't be able to get as much money per episode.

Half of what we teach you is wrong. We just don't know which half. -Anonymous
My most vivid memory of medical school is the pressure we felt to learn everything that was set before us. There was pressure to learn and pressure to understand. We gorged ourselves on facts, concepts, diagrams, flashcards, lecture notes and mnemonics. Even as we drank facts and data from a proverbial fire hose, however, we realized entire disciplines were evolving.
For example, much of the Immunology we struggled to memorize in medical school was soon proven incorrect. We searched for information in older textbooks with trepidation, fearing encounters with long-discarded details and theories. We marveled that previous generations of physicians had never been taught tobacco and cancer were somehow linked to each other. How could they have not known?
And then there were changes we encountered in surgery.

FLYTIPPERS have been warned to expect harsher fines after new guidelines were agreed.
The news has been welcomed by the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) which says the announcement is "long overdue".
"The announcement of higher fines is long overdue, but while it may deter some, more needs to be done to tackle this blight on the countryside," said CLA Midlands' rural adviser, Donna Tavernor.
"Our main concern is the problems faced by landowners in dealing with fly-tipped rubbish on private land, which costs the landowner £800 on average to clear up each incidence of non-toxic fly-tipped waste on their land, and can rise into many thousands for hazardous or large amounts of waste. "There is the additional threat for landowners of being prosecuted purely because they have not removed waste that someone else has tipped on their land.
"Although we would like to see waste taken to local tips free of charge, we understand this is unlikely without a change in policy. There must be a long-term sustainable solution."
The new guidelines have been set out by the Sentencing Council, which said it wants magistrates to make more use of the "highest levels of fines".
Heavier fines may be handed out for all types of fly-tipping, "whether this is a company tipping a lorry-load of used tyres in a field or a householder dumping an old mattress in an alleyway", the council said.
The new guidelines will take effect in courts across the country from Tuesday, July 1 this year.
CLA Midlands says it wants to hear from anyone who knows of flytipping taking place, together with any photos people may have.
Photos, with details of date and location, can be emailed to email@example.com after being sent to the police.

Charlie Klinefelter sure knows how to cook a killer dish as folks around the Illinois Valley will kindly attest. Now he's trying to serve up a winning recipe for the boys basketball team at DePue High School.
Klinefelter, aka Chef Charlie, has taken over as head coach of the DePue Little Giants basketball team this season after seven years as an assistant. He knows the role puts him on the burner in more ways than one.
"It is a little different since becoming a head coach because the team's progress seems to rest on your shoulders a little bit more which means your accountability increases, but it also means that you were given the opportunity to mentor these students to become better students outside the classroom. I've always wanted to be a coach of some kind to give back to the sport, and teach kids that what you learn in sports influences us in life.
"I really do love coaching and enjoy seeing kids participate and learn were sports can help them learn more about life."
Klinefelter played basketball at DePue from 1973-77 under coach Eric Bryant Sr., who was a model of discipline and respect when it came to coaching. He said times have changed some since those days.
"I have found out that coaching is so much different now then when I was in school. Some of the older coaches can remember that discipline was a must and respect for our coaches was demanded where as it seems a little different these days," he said. "But through the years I have learned to adjust to our younger athletes while still demanding respect."
Klinefelter honed his basketball game playing for the Regional Navy team based out of central California where competition was stiff, he said.
While he believes he is still best known as Chef Charlie, he said his colleagues let him know that, "I am probably the best dressed coach around."
He views it having the best of both worlds despite juggling his busy schedule between the gym and the kitchen.
"At times it's very stressful but my bosses give me the opportunity to shuffle both and I couldn't make it happen without their support," he said.
When asked for his special dish in the kitchen, the Chef at Skoogs Steakhouse said, having been afforded the luxury to cook all over the world being in the military and being in California for so many years, "I can honestly say that I have no special dish. I can do everything good.
One thing's for sure, the team dinners must be pretty tasteful if Chef Charlie has anything to do with it.
Back to you, Joe: What did you think about Russell Sherman's post game rant after he helped the Seahawks clinch the AFC's championship. Most would say he was a real idiot, which was my basic conclusion. One does have to take in consideration this was coming from a warrior just minutes coming off the heated ball field with emotions running high. I'm pretty sure, someone like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, would have handled it with a little more class.
Now that was entertainment to see FOX's Erin Andrews left to babble only, "Back to you, Joe."

About This Performance
Shostakovich began his Tenth Symphony shortly after Stalin died, and for many the work is a summary of the Stalin era. "An optimistic tragedy" is how the Soviet Composer's Union finally described it, without suggesting any political portrait in it. "Let them listen and guess," was all the composer said at the time about any extra-musical meaning.
Come for:
Vasily Petrenko's recording of the Shostakovich Tenth with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic has been widely praised.

Stults, Padres felled by five-run seventh in Arizona
Left-hander carries shutout into frame before running into trouble
PHOENIX -- When looking at a box score such as the one from Friday vs. the D-backs, Eric Stults' assessment of his performance doesn't exactly follow common logic at first glance.
The left-hander shut out the D-backs over the first six innings on just 79 pitches, but he felt he wasn't executing his pitches up to his standards.
Then in the seventh inning, Stults surrendered four runs on three doubles and a walk, but he actually felt he threw the ball where he wanted to.
Go figure.
The end result translated into the Padres dropping their third straight game, 5-2, to the D-backs, with all five runs coming in the seventh off Stults and the bullpen.
"I thought I got away with some pitches early on," Stults said. "And I actually felt like in the seventh I made the pitches I wanted to, just didn't have the results."
Even though he wasn't feeling his best, Stults still carried a 1-0 lead into the game-deciding frame. But in a span of just 15 pitches, the southpaw went from tossing a potential shutout to taking the loss.
After Miguel Montero led off the inning with a double, Martin Prado followed with a jam shot down the first-base line for another two-bagger that tied the game at 1.
"Prado was just trying to advance the runner, and he inside-outed the ball," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It was a soft ground ball that got through, that was unfortunate for us."
Three batters later with the game tied, Stults had a pinch-hitting Wil Nieves down 0-2 in the count but left a fastball at the top of the zone that the catcher hit off the left-center field wall to drive in the go-ahead run.
"I thought I made a good pitch, he chased the one before, up and in," Stults said. "I wasn't trying to throw a strike, and it wasn't a strike. It was up and off the plate, but he put a good swing on it, you have to give him credit for getting the barrel of the bat there."
That crushing hit forced Black to go to the bullpen, abruptly ending Stults' evening after such a promising start.
"I made the pitches I wanted to make, but I didn't get the results you normally get when you make your pitch," Stults said. "You have to give them credit, they hit some good pitches. Overall, I just came up short."
After Dale Thayer and Anthony Bass served up two more RBI hits later in the frame, Stults, who entered Friday with a 2.39 ERA in May, finished the game charged with four runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings.
"He had good stuff, he was tricky," D-backs outfielder A.J. Pollock said. "He's a guy that when he's hitting his spots with his slider, his changeup, his fastball, it's tough. So you just have to look for your pitch, and when you get it, you can't miss it. That's where he makes his living, getting people to roll over and chase stuff they're not looking for."
Part of the problem Friday came from the lack of run support for Stults.
The Padres gave Stults the only help they would offer in the second inning when Yonder Alonso singled home Carlos Quentin, who doubled off D-backs starter Brandon McCarthy to lead off the frame.
Quentin, playing for the first time since Monday when he tweaked his left knee, finished the night as one of the few silver linings for San Diego, collecting three hits, including a pair of doubles.
"Carlos swung the bat well," Black said. "That was good to see from Carlos, I know he's been working on some things with his stance. I hope that can continue."
Still up by just one through the middle frames, the Padres left a runner in scoring position in the fifth and sixth, leaving Stults with no wiggle room. McCarthy ended up tossing seven innings, allowing just the single run and leaving Black impressed with the movement on his fastball.
"He pitched well, lot of good fastballs to both sides of the plate," Black said. "Arm side had a nice sink to it, glove side had a nice cut to it. He mixed in a few good curveballs, but I think it was about the late action on the fastball. We stressed him a couple times, couldn't get the big hit. He didn't give us a lot of opportunities."
Only after the D-backs' offensive explosion in the seventh did the San Diego bats wake up again, plating the club's second run of the game on a Everth Cabrera solo shot to right field off David Hernandez.
That dinger proved to be too little too late, though, as former Padres closer Heath Bell quelled San Diego's comeback attempt in the ninth to record his first save against his old team since departing after the 2011 season.

THE Loddon Centre in Basingstoke has been rebranded as TLC.
The name change comes as Hermes Real Estate Investment Management Limited (HREIML), acting as asset managers for the Britel Fund Trustees, has launched the marketing of the industrial and warehouse units.
Basingstoke commercial property agents Baker Davidson Thomas and Hollis Hockley have been appointed as joint letting agents.
Located in the established Wade Road industrial area of the town, the scheme consists of 11 units and comprises a total of 113,000 sq ft.
As part of the rebrand, five units have initially been brought back to the market. These offer space options between 4,958 sq ft and 36,323 sq ft, with rents from £6.75 to £7.25 per sq ft, dependent upon the unit size.
Hermes Real Estate has embarked on a programme of improvement works to the estate, led by managing agents, Jones Lang LaSalle, which includes refreshing the landscaping, providing newly-branded signage and installing refuse compounds.
The marketing campaign has resulted in the letting of Unit C of 4,958 sq ft to Testbourne Ltd, which signed a 10-year lease at a rent of £7.25 per sq ft before incentives.
Meanwhile, Unit D has been relet to Index Plastics Ltd on a new five-year lease, also at £7.25 per sq ft.
Richard Thomas, at Baker Davidson Thomas, said: "This is a significant land holding in Basingstoke, perfect for access to the motorway and the town centre amenities. A phased refurbishment programme will help position TLC as a competitive option."
Index Plastics Ltd was advised by Woodford and Company, while Testbourne represented itself.

A TEENAGER involved in heroin dealing has kept his freedom, but could have faced three years behind bars if he had been older.
Burnley Crown Court heard how the 17-year-old was caught in an undercover police operation in Accrington town centre. He had handed over the drugs, which on the third occasion were "very good drugs" of "exceptionally high" 57 per cent purity.
The defendant, of Accrington, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted three supply-related charges. The youth, who was 16 at the time, was given a two-year youth rehabilitation order and must do 100 hours unpaid work. He had no previous convictions.
Stephen Parker, prosecuting, said last April an undercover officer was working as a buyer. On May 21, he bought drugs off a man. He made several purchases off him until May 29, when the defendant handed over the drugs. On June 6, the teenager sold the officer heroin.
On the last occasion, on June 21, the defendant knew a little bit more than just handing over the heroin and knew how good it was. He was arrested and interviewed last October.
Judge Beverley Lunt told the defendant: "You were 16 and you decided to commit three crimes pretty much at the top of the criminal spectre. No starting off small for you. You got knowingly involved in dealing Class A drugs. You knew it was wrong."

"Creationist welcomed, evolutionist shunned" at Edinburgh University, writes student organiser Phil Holden about the Creation Research lecture by John Mackay who "was free to speak for over an hour presenting a creationist view of origins in Edinburgh University's largest lecture theatre, while a talk by evolutionist James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA structure, was cancelled." The UK's oldest student newspaper reporting on Watson's banning stated (26 October 2007): "The University of Edinburgh was forced to cancel a lecture last week after a controversial scientist due to speak on campus implied that black people were genetically less intelligent than whites. Dr James Watson was scheduled to appear at the university as part of a series of Enlightenment lectures which are intended to give the public the chance to listen to 'global leaders in politics, philosophy, science and economics discuss their views and outlook.' However, the University of Edinburgh withdrew their invitation to the scientist after racist comments he made in a national newspaper received widespread criticism and international outrage. Dr Watson reportedly told the Sunday Times he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really". These comments have led to public condemnation of the scientist, who shared the Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA in 1962 and was in the UK to promote his new book Avoid Boring People: Lessons From a Life in Science.
At the Edinburgh University creation lecture members of the University Humanist Society dominated the Question Time, but interested students took the opportunity to hear more next day at another public meeting.

Column: Wedded to an idea whose time has come
WASHINGTON -- Evan Wolfson received a "B" on the law school paper that helped change the world.
It was 1983 and Wolfson, submitting the paper required of all third-year students at Harvard Law School, had chosen a topic -- constitutional protection for same-sex marriage -- seemingly so far-fetched that some of the distinguished scholars he had asked to serve as faculty advisers declined.
"The more prominent, more liberal ones who one would have thought would have been most supportive were not," Wolfson recalled in an interview. "It's not that they were against it -- I think they didn't see it as that important or that likely to happen and in some cases a little bit trivial."
A few gay couples had tried to make the argument in the 1970s, following the Supreme Court's declaration that laws prohibiting racial intermarriage were unconstitutional, and were summarily laughed out of court.
At the time, the nascent legal movement on gay rights was focused more on combating anti-sodomy laws, overturning policies that excluded gays from being allowed to enter the country, dealing with issues of workplace discrimination. Some gay rights advocates didn't see the point of pressing for inclusion in a traditional, patriarchal system. For others, marriage seemed a nice notion but a foolish priority, given the hostile landscape of existing injustice.
Wolfson saw it differently. "You can't say you're for equality but acquiesce in exclusion from the central social and legal institution of this and every other society," he said. "What I felt was we needed to transform the movement from 'we want to be let alone' to 'we want to be let in.'"
Wolfson's quest for the freedom to marry -- he used the term same-sex marriage in his paper, but now bristles at its connotation of difference from "regular marriage" -- has been transformed from quixotic to attainable.
With the Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government is out of the business of discriminating against couples on the basis of their sexual orientation.
Still, for the time being at least, America remains a patchwork nation when it comes to marriage rights. It will require another, major step for the court, one that Wolfson believes is inevitable, to declare that marrying the person you love, regardless of sexual orientation, is a fundamental constitutional right.
Wolfson's story demonstrates the force of idea combined with execution. It demonstrates how society can be reshaped by the power of a seemingly radical idea matched with -- indeed, married to -- a carefully calculated, inch-by-inch strategy for putting it into practice.
The movement toward marriage equality for gays and lesbians in the United States was inexorable, and certainly other advocates have helped drive the debate. But as much as any individual, Wolfson served to shape and accelerate the still emerging reality of same-sex marriage. (Disclosure: Wolfson was a classmate in college and law school.)
Wolfson began practicing law as a prosecutor, first for Brooklyn District Attorney Elizabeth Holtzman, then for Iran-contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh. But he moonlighted on gay rights issues and eventually joined Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, where he argued, and lost, the Supreme Court case involving the Boy Scouts' right to exclude gay scoutmasters.
But marriage remained his priority, if not one universally shared by those gay rights advocates who feared pushing too far too fast. Ten years ago, when Wolfson founded Freedom to Marry, not a single state allowed same-sex couples to marry. Today, 13 states and the District of Columbia recognize the right to marry.
In 2011, after New York joined those ranks, Wolfson married his partner of 10 years, Cheng He, a molecular biologist and management consultant. Just before our interview, Wolfson was consulting with an immigration lawyer about his husband, a Chinese-born Canadian citizen eligible for a green card in the wake of the DOMA ruling.
Still, his work is far from done. For starters, 29 states have constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. Only a Supreme Court ruling can trump those.
"There's no question where it's going. The only question is how soon we can bring it home, and I believe it's a matter of years, not decades," Wolfson said. "At every stage of this campaign we were told, 'You can't win in court.' We were told, 'You can't win in the legislatures.' 'You can't win Republicans.' 'You can't win beyond the coasts.' 'You can't win at the ballot box.' We've overcome every one of those. We will make this happen."
It may be time to rethink that "B."

My wife and I went on a spur of the moment overnight trip to Williamsburg, Va. Kind of plain just get-a-way/four year anniversary /just over surgery trip. We ate at a place I never heard of before we saw the ad in a magazine in the motel. We decided on either a seafood place or a BBQ place--leaning towards the BBQ depending on what we saw first! But they were side by side!
We went to the Red Hot & Blue BBQ and were very glad we did. Very good food and not exceptionally high priced, nice atmosphere. Kind of wish I'd had ordered the whole ribs (12 ribs).
Apparently they are a southern state based organization for the most part. Michigan (okay it is not southern), Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Maryland, Missouri, and Washington DC. You might want to check them outhttp://www.redhotandblue.com.

HOUSTON - Playgrounds offer children fresh air and exercise. However, experts say there are some things parents should look for when it comes to their child's safety.
"Playground safety comes down to the most important part, which is direct supervision," said Dr. Pratik Doshi from Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute, Emergency Medicine.
Parents cannot protect their kids from everything, but keeping a watchful eye is a great way to help prevent injuries.
Also, check out the playground equipment. Swings should be made out of soft material, not wood or metal. All hardware on equipment must be secure.
Chiquita Murrell says she has a checklist when it comes to the safety of her 3-year-old.
"Loose nails, making sure the equipment is tight, make sure a swing or something is not off of a hinge," said Murrell.
Try to avoid playgrounds with hard surfaces like concrete.
"The newer parks that have been developed have better surfaces, so they have the foam surfacing," said Murrell.
As the temperatures in Houston heat up, so can the slides, swing sets, and monkey bars. Contact burns can occur within seconds, so its important to use good judgment.
Experts also say parents should make sure children do not wear clothes with drawstrings or chords. Necklaces can also get caught in equipment.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/4/2013 (1574 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A city whose residents have never shown an affinity for taking the bus, walking long distances or riding a bike are going to have to do lots of all three if a parking plan unveiled on Tuesday for the new Investors Group Field is going to work.
One of the biggest questions from Day 1 surrounding the construction of a new football stadium on the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus was the transportation of up to 33,500 fans from a site with only two major entry and exit points.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers provided the long-awaited answer at a news conference at the new stadium, unveiling a nine-point transportation-and-parking plan that will make use of private vehicles, shuttles and upgraded transit service, private lots, park-and-ride depots and even bicycles.
Perhaps anticipating a backlash to the team's complex game-day plan -- complaints from the public were much in evidence on Twitter and online within hours of Tuesday's news conference -- Bombers vice-president and chief operating officer Jim Bell urged Winnipeggers to have patience as the club works the kinks out.
"Given that this is the first year of this event-day plan, we ask everyone involved to be patient as we all adjust to our new CFL home here at Investors Group Field," said Bell. "Evaluation is certainly an important part of this plan and so if changes need to be made, we will make every effort to address them in a timely fashion."
The team also announced Tuesday a ban on on-street parking on major routes or in neighbourhoods near the stadium, notably University Heights and Fort Richmond, in the hours up to, during and after games or concerts.
Bell told reporters residents in the affected neighbourhoods will be issued a single parking pass to allow them to have one vehicle parked on the street during the affected hours. Bell said residents with more than one vehicle per household will be urged to park their other vehicles in driveways or garages.
And if a resident wants to have guests over for dinner -- or even to watch the game on TV -- during the affected hours? Bell didn't really have an answer, repeating his earlier assertion the plan the team unveiled Tuesday came after lengthy consultations with area residents.
"Our hope, really," said Bell, "is that we'll all work hard to be good neighbours to make this work."
With effectively no free street parking within short walking distance of the new stadium, Winnipeggers who want to drive to games or concerts are going to have to deal with another thing Winnipeggers hate to do -- pay for parking.
Bell said only fans who have paid $210 for a season parking pass, as well as university students and staff, will be allowed to park on the U of M campus on game or concert days.
And those passes are selling quickly -- about 4,000 of a maximum 5,000 parking passes have already been sold. Bell said the club expects the remaining passes to sell out quickly.
Bell said motorists without parking passes will be able to park at "booster lots" on Pembina Highway. He said a number of Pembina Highway businesses have agreed to offer paid parking on their lots on game day and concert days. Bell said free 'Running Back Shuttles' provided by Winnipeg Transit will serve those lots before and after games. Bell said fans should expect to pay somewhere between $10 to $15 at the private parking lots.
Steve West, the city's corporate communications manager, said the Bombers, university officials and the city will have a "a team out on event days monitoring how the event-day plan works."
The monitoring will take into account post-event survey results, tickets issued, vehicles towed, accidents reported, 311 calls, transit ridership, bike-valet use and a parked-vehicle count.
Any subsequent changes to the plan will be posted online at www.investorsgroupfield.ca, West said.
U of M marketing and communications director John Danakas said Tuesday the university is designating 1,660 parking spots for U of M students and staff.
Information is posted at www.umanitoba.ca. Some of the lots are for students living in residence.

Extreme Metal Goes Creative
Music is best when it isn't confined by boundaries. Setting limits on creativity is contradictory to the very notion itself of being creative. So when I hear music such as Johnny Cash covering a Nine Inch Nails song, Willie Nelson singing Muppet tunes (seriously), Icelandic ambient-rockers Sigur Ros painting yet another lush and beautiful soundscape, I get excited because my ears and mind have been opened to a new sonic point of view that shows more possibilities.
For those who don't have an open mind, heavy metal is a one trick pony; a style of music that has a narrow scope and an extremely limited offering. A new sonic point of view is the last thing that many would consider a heavy metal band as having to offer. I disagree.
Meinl Cymbals has many artists from the heavy metal world who call our company "home." One of the things that I am most proud of in terms of having these artists as part of our team is that there is no lack of creativity on their part. I really believe that creativity is what sets these artists apart from the rest of their peers. With already established artists such as Brann Dailor of Mastodon or Derek Roddy of Serpents Rise – just to name a couple, a creative bar has been set that challenges all new-comers in terms of musicality and of course, technique.
The challenge is being answered. Recently, there has been a groundswell of outstanding new talent to come forth in the metal world. Most to all of it is entrenched in what is known as "Extreme Metal," or "Prog Metal." Recent new Meinl cymbal artists that fall within these loose terms and are pushing the boundaries are –
- Kevin Lane – Whitechapel
- Cameron Losch – Born of Osiris
- Sam Applebaum – Veil of Maya
- Danny Walker – Intronaut, Phobia
- Navene Koperweis - Animosity
- Romain Goulon – Necrophagist
- Moe Carlson – Protest the Hero
- Joe Lionetti – Emmure
Each one of these artists are taking technique and creativity to another level – doing things that you and I can't do…well, maybe that I can't do…Either way, I think it's high time that a serious re-appraisal is in order. Check out their artist pages and click on the links to their bands on those artist pages. Within the massive crush of metal, you'll find a level of technique that is as inspiring as it is precise and a way of playing that is as expressive as it is devastating. Enjoy!

NBA: Bryant scores 42, but rest of team is mediocre once again.
By Mark Medina
Staff Writer
CLEVELAND - The only festive spirit the Lakers have displayed this holiday season takes place before the game when Dwight Howard yucks it up with reporters and teammates.
Other than that, the Lakers have looked like they drank bad egg nog. The Lakers continued leaving a sour taste, the latest a 100-94 loss Tuesday to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena.
Wonder how the latest debacle just happened? Go back to your DVR and watch plenty of the other Lakers (9-13) losses. They'll look pretty similar.
They couldn't handle the ball, committing 18 turnovers. The Lakers didn't get back on defense, yielding 24 points off those turnovers. They couldn't make free throws (25 of 40 from the line). Kobe Bryant scored most of the points (42 points on 16 of 28 shooting).
"This is the most challenging stretch that I've been in (in) my 17 years," Bryant said. "Most baffling too."
Minutes later, Bryant's timer went off, signaling him to take both of his feet out of a bucket of water. It sounded like a siren, perfectly symbolizing the Lakers' state of panic.
So much for the Lakers following up on coach Mike D'Antoni's expectation that they'll go 4-0 on their week-long trip. Afterward, D'Antoni described the effort as "uninspired basketball."
The Lakers lost their eighth contest in the past 11 games against an opponent that has the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference (5-17). The Lakers also fell to the basement-dwelling Cavaliers two years ago.
"I had a head coach who always kept calm and always focused on the X's and O's of things and I learned from that," Bryant said, referring to Phil Jackson. "I'm trying to do the same thing here. But I won't lie. They're really messing with my Zen."
D'Antoni lost his patience, taking offense to a reporter who suggested he hadn't spent enough time during morning shootaround going over defense. D'Antoni countered the team spent the first half-hour going over defensive concepts.
Yet, Bryant suggested the Lakers may need to make adjustments.
"I don't know if we're too slow of a team," Bryant said, "and need to change things up a little bit and play a slower game."
Bryant also suggested he may reach out to former Lakers about the team.
"The one thing about this organization is there are a lot of great players who came before you that are always one phone call away," Bryant said. "I have no problem picking up the phone, talking to them and getting some advice."
They'll have plenty to talk about with this game.
The Lakers looked as out of place as when Howard spent time before the game singing Chinese with a foreign reporter.
D'Antoni started Jordan Hill at power forward instead of Antawn Jamison while Pau Gasol heals from knee tendinitis, an injury that has already sidelined him for five games. Instead of showing energy, Hill posted two points on 1 of 6 shooting and became the victim of Anderson Varejao's one-handed dunk.
The Lakers featured plenty of plays for Howard in the post, yet he finished with only 19 points on nine field goal attempts. At least, Howard fared better at the foul line (13 of 22).
Bryant may make little of the Lakers' 1-10 stat when he scores at least 30 points. But his effort featured a wide selection of shots hoisted over double teams, late in the shot clock and far away from the basket.
Bryant still took the blame for his defense and five turnovers.
"It's my job to be as perfect as I can be," Bryant said. "If they're not playing well, I have to minimize my mistakes and I have to be better."
One defensive stop came in the third quarter when Kyrie Irving matched up against Bryant on an isolation play. With memories still fresh from the 2012 Rookie of the Year challenging Bryant to a one-on-one duel during U.S. Olympic training camp this summer, the crowd stood in anticipation. Irving performed a few cross over dribbles, but Bryant swatted his shot with his left hand.
The Lakers kept the game within single digits the rest of the game. Bryant's 3-pointer even narrowed the gap to 95-92 with 23 seconds left. But his attempt afterward didn't drop in the basket.
Once it all ended, the Lakers walked off the court in single-file fashion, looking down.
The Lakers' problems persist, and it appears they're doing nothing to fix them.

ca·vort ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-vôrt)
intr.v. ca·vort·ed, ca·vort·ing, ca·vorts
To bound or prance about in a sprightly manner; caper.
To have lively or boisterous fun; romp: The children cavorted in the water, splashing and ducking each other.
v : play boisterously; "The children frolicked in the garden"; "the gamboling lambs in the meadows"; "The toddlers romped in the playroom" [syn: frolic, lark, rollick, skylark, disport, sport, gambol, frisk, romp, run around, lark about]
Since cavorting is a spontaneous expression of joy, it's really not practical to set a date. When International Cavorting Day becomes a reality (and I think we can all agree it's just a matter of time) then everyone on the planet will be issued a Cavorting Card.
The card can be cashed in on a day when it's owner NEEDS to cavort and it will reimburse the cardholder for one day's wages.
in play:
As they passed the stately home with the impenetratable wall of tall bushes obscuring the front, Mrs. Parker remarked, "One could cavort naked in that yard if they chose." Mr. Parker who was no cavorter demurred.
a confirmed but clothed cavorter

WHAT do you get the pampered Western celebrity who thinks they have everything? A weibo, of course.
Pronounced way-bore, weibo is Chinese for ''microblog'', and is often referred to as the Twitter of the East.
In China, the most popular of the many weibos available to 500 million internet users is Sina Weibo, a social networking phenomenon that had 368 million registered users at the last count, posting 100 million messages a day.
And celebrities, ever keen to capitalise on new markets that their own Twitter feeds can't reach (the site, along with Facebook, is banned by the Great Firewall of China), have taken to it like ducks to water.
The latest to ''weibo'' is Brad Pitt, who signed up on Monday and posted a message that read: ''It is the truth. Yup, I'm coming.''
This was surprising on a couple of levels: first, Pitt is said to have been prohibited from entering China after he starred in the 1997 film Seven Years in Tibet; second, and perhaps most importantly, Pitt has got a Sina Weibo account before he's even opened a Twitter one.
The importance of a weibo cannot be underestimated. China has always been a tough nut to crack, what with language constraints, cultural differences and the small matter of state-controlled media. But the introduction of weibos in 2009 - allowed by the government as an alternative to Twitter - has changed all that.
The state could not have foreseen that the weibo would one day become even more powerful than Twitter. Though the US website has just over 500 million users, the astonishing growth of Sina Weibo means it is expected to overtake it.
Today, everyone from Justin Bieber to Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has a weibo. Radiohead, including Thom Yorke, previously critical of China's human rights record, have a Sina account. Tom Cruise has more than 5 million followers on the site.
It isn't only celebrities. Bill Gates has 3.27 million followers on Sina, while Coca-Cola, Unilever and Louis Vuitton are all using the social networking site to reach new customers.
''If you want to be big in China,'' says Jon Hoel, of social media agency We Are Social, ''you have to be on Sina Weibo. Every major Western company knows that it is the place to be right now if they want to build their brands overseas.''
How do you get onto Sina Weibo? With a very good grasp of Mandarin.
Of course, most celebrities don't have that, so they turn to companies such as FansTang, co-founded by Adam Roseman, a Los Angeles businessman who provides fame-hungry celebrities with the chance to cast their nets ever further. FansTang posts in Mandarin on behalf of stars such as Disney sensation Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.
The rest of us will just have to wait for the English-language version of the site, which is thought to be in the pipeline. You have been warned.

The likely end of BP's tempestuous, yet profitable, partnership with a group of Russian oligarchs in TNK-BP is a moment to tot up the costs and benefits. Financially, it came out on top, but it certainly suffered along the way.
I've kept an interested eye on TNK-BP since writing about the energy venture in 2003, when it was formed. I judged then that it was worth it for BP to risk being stitched up by its new partners (the article is not online): Read more
