|Honeydukes Express
|Location information
- "Anything off the trolley, dears?"
- —Trolley lady to everybody on the Hogwarts Express
The Honeydukes Express[1] was the food trolley aboard the Hogwarts Express that enabled the students to purchase food on the long journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was pushed by a plump, friendly witch, and the sweets were likely supplied by Honeydukes Sweetshop.
1991–1992 school yearEdit
When Harry Potter first rode the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of his first year, he planned to buy "All of the Mars Bars he could eat", but the trolley didn't have any Mars Bars. Being new to the wizarding world Harry was amazed to find such items as:
- Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans
- Cauldron Cakes
- Chocolate Frogs
- Drooble's Best Blowing Gum
- Jelly Slugs
- Liquorice wands
- Pumpkin Pasties
Harry bought a little of everything and shared it with his new friend Ron Weasley. Over the years Harry and the others regularly used the food trolley whenever they traveled on the Express. Buying a bit of everything would cost about 11 sickles.
1993-1994 school yearEdit
Upon the arrival of the trolley-lady, Harry, Ron and Hermione attempted to wake Professor Lupin, as they thought he looked like he could use feeding. They were unsuccessful, but the trolley-lady said that she would be up front with the driver if Lupin was hungry later. She handed Harry and the others a large stack of Cauldron Cakes.
1994–1995 school yearEdit
On their way to Hogwarts in September, Harry bought a stack of Cauldron Cakes for him and his friends to share. At the end of the school year, Hermione Granger bought a copy of the Daily Prophet to check and see if there was anything about Voldemort's return.

How Sandy Impacted Jobs Numbers
The number of U.S. workers filing for unemployment benefits increased by 78,000 to a seasonally adjusted 439,000 last week in the wake of superstorm Sandy. Phil Izzo reports on Markets Hub.

Heroin costing Hamilton County residents more than ever before
HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVC) - More drug overdose calls are flooding police and emergency medical services in Hamilton County than ever before.
The Hamilton County EMS director, Ken Wilkerson, says a drug overdose can happen using prescribed prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
He says lately the number of calls his crews are responding to related to opiates like heroin are going up.
While ambulances are tied up treating those patients, Wilkerson says residents might have to wait longer if they have an emergency.
Aaron Smith says he's been addicted to heroin for 15 years and counting.
Two months into being clean, Smith found out his battle with the drug had hit his little brother David, too.
"Nobody expected it from him," Smith said. "They always expected it from me, but not him."
Family members found David in bed in Memphis three weeks ago, with a needle stuck in his arm.
He never woke up.
"He was a good guy. He had two kids. He worked his tail off," Aaron said. "He was just all around good guy. Like I said, just made bad decisions that cost him his life."
It's a problem that's everywhere -- in Hamilton County, suspected heroin overdoses now kill three to five people every week, according to Hamilton County EMS.
"I don't know how they are going to end it," Smith said. "I have no clue because there is so much money to be made off of it."
While drug lords are reeling in that money, Wilkerson says taxpayers are shelling it out, trying to keep addicts alive.
He says the county is spending more and more money stocking a drug called "Narcan." It's a drug that reverses an overdose with a puff up a patient's nose. Each dose costs around $40.
Wilkerson says the department has used 60 percent more Narcan on patients this year than last year to date. That's costing county residents.
"Any time a Hamilton County ambulance responds on a call you are looking for a $500, $600 or $700 investment of county funds for every call we respond on," Wilkerson said.
Wilkerson says his department is working to train fire and law enforcement officers to be able to administer Narcan.
He says Hamilton County is also requesting more money to upgrade equipment.
Smith says in Chattanooga, it's easiest to buy heroin from dealers in the motels off of Shallowford Road.
Vanita Hullander is the Catoosa County coroner. She says the high potency of today's heroin is what's leading addicts who don't live in Hamilton County to die there.
"They want their fix so bad, they are not getting back home with it," Hullander said. "They are doing it the moment they get it. Then before they get home, they are overdosing."
Those who do make it to the hospital, she says, are often marked as a patient with a mental emergency or behavior issues -- not a drug overdose.
That means the overdose numbers are even higher than we think.
"We can't even chip a piece off of an iceberg. There is so much lost data that way," Hullander said.
Smith says his life is forever changed without his brother. Even his daily routine -- assuring his mother that he's staying clean.
"She calls me non-stop now. Non-stop. I will probably hear from her 10 to 12 times a day just to make sure if I am OK," he said.
The thought of using again crosses his mind often, but he must stay strong for her.
"As long as I stick with who I am supposed to stick with and do what I'm supposed to do I should be alright," Smith said.
NewsChannel 9 now has a special section on our website for anyone seeking help for heroin addiction.

GREENSBORO � One team embraced the common tournament theme of �win or go home.� The other lacked hunger.
Unfortunately for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, he didn�t see his team as the aggressor during Friday night�s 83-74 loss to Maryland in a quarterfinal game of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum.
�For us, we were not hungry,� a solemn Krzyzewski said. �Whether we were pacing ourselves. � We weren�t the Duke team that has played most of this season and especially the last couple of weeks.�
Maryland (22-11) moves into a semifinal matchup against North Carolina at 3:30 p.m. today, with the Terrapins perhaps edging closer to an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament.
Duke � at 27-5 and ranked in the top 10 all season � has a clear path into the more meaningful tournament.
But the jostling of a quick bounce from a tournament the Blue Devils have traditionally owned puts them in a precarious spot.
�This is no time to start questioning things, but at the same time we have to right the ship going forward,� Duke senior Mason Plumlee said. �This happens next week, we�re done.�
Plumlee led Duke with 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting. But he was part of a team effort inside that saw Duke out-rebounded 38-28, with Plumlee pulling in seven rebounds to lead Duke.
Duke never led, despite cutting the deficit to 47-46 with 13 minutes left. After Maryland�s Pe�Shon Howard made one of two free throws, Plumlee was called for a charge on the ensuing possession.
The Blue Devils never came closer than four for the rest of the game.
�I don�t see any positive right now, we wanted to come into this tournament playing well and getting better and I feel like (Friday) we took a step back,� said Seth Curry, who scored 15 points.
Curry and Duke had no answer for Maryland�s slashing and powerful Dez Wells, who scored a career-high 30 points on 9-for-13 shooting and a 10-for-10 performance at the free-throw line.
�I thought they were terrific and Wells built on his performance from (Thursday) night,� Krzyzewski said. �� He�s had a good year and he�s a really good player. But in these two games, he�s elevated himself to really a high level.�
Every time Duke attempted to sustain offensive momentum in the second half, Maryland had the solution.
�To put a run together you�ve got to get stops,� Plumlee said. �They seemed to always have an answer, that�s how they kept us from getting back in the game.�
Entering the tournament as the league�s top-rated 3-point shooting team (40.6 percent) and the top-rated 3-point defense (29.3 percent), Duke was 4-for-25 from behind the arc.
Maryland ranked ninth in 3-point shooting (33.4 percent). The Terrapins were 8-for-20 from long distance.
�That�s a hell of a thing. It�s a phenomenon. I just wish we were the thing that was amazing,� Krzyzewski said. �That�s why stats and those things are things that people like to play around with. But when people are put in a position where they have to win, a lot of times they elevate and that�s what Maryland did.�
Rasheed Sulaimon provided Duke�s only offensive punch in the first 10 minutes, accounting for 10 of the team�s first 14 points. He finished with 16 points, coming off the bench in favor of Tyler Thornton for the second straight game.
When Sulaimon cut the deficit to 17-14 with 10:10 left in the first half, Maryland answered with a 9-0 run that was sparked by a 3, a mid-range jumper and an assist by Wells.
�The hungry team � they�re trying to survive and they played like it,� Krzyzewski said. �A lot of teams in that position sometimes get nervous and they make a lot of mistakes and instead, Maryland rose to the occasion.�
Maryland opened up a 12-2 lead in the first 3:21, despite a timeout from Krzyzewski 93 seconds into the game.
▪ TIP INS : Maryland turned the ball over 14 times, compared to six for Duke. But the Terrapins had 18 assists on 26 field goals, while Duke tallied 10 assists on 27 baskets. Maryland had four players Jake Layman, Alex Len, Nick Faust and Seth Allen score 10 points. The Terrapins 51 percent clip from the field marks the fifth time this season Duke has surrendered a rate of 50 percent of higher. Duke had won nine straight games in ACC Tournament games in Greensboro, dating back to the championship of the 2004 game. That loss also came against Maryland.

We are visiting Progreso for the first time in April. I have looked at all of the posts about the area and it looks like it will be a blast. Does anyone have any recommendations for good places to eat, bars, or things to do or see that we should not miss while we are there? We will have a car and plan on seeing as many archaeological sites as possible and visiting Merida when the wind is not kiteable. Also we are staying a little west of the pier and would like to know if there are any places along the beach that we should not be kiting as we do not want to mess things up for local or other kiters. Also if you are in the area and want to meet up or do downwinders, let me know.
Thanks for your replies!!
Good winds!!

DOVER — State legislators from the Garrison City spoke at the City Council workshop on Wednesday night about the work they are doing in Concord overall, but the issues relating to the Great Bay were of most importance among the councilors.
State Sen. David Watters, D-Dover, thanked the council for welcoming him to the workshop and touched on the several committees and bills he is a part of, including the complete rewrite of the business corporation act and streamlining permitting processes.
He also said he is working to "do something" about the wastewater treatment system.
Watters said he has met with state Department of Environmental Services Commissioner Tom Burack and other DES members, asking them to revisit the wastewater study and follow through with rulemaking procedures.
"I'm always hopeful," Watters said at the podium in Council Chambers on Wednesday night. "I'm hopeful to find ways to have conversation."
He said he hopes the bill he created is used as a vehicle for conversation.
His bill, LSR #958, is requiring DES to conduct a formal rule-making process on the 2009 numeric nutrient criteria for the Great Bay Estuary and to perform an independent peer review.
As reported earlier in Foster's, the bill is in response to a lawsuit filed by the Great Bay Municipal Coalition communities of Newmarket, Exeter, Portsmouth, Dover and Rochester and the permits issued by the Environmental Protection Agency to lower the nitrogen levels in the Great Bay from their current 15-20 mg/L levels to 3 mg/L. This required limit will cost these communities millions of dollars worth of upgrades to their wastewater treatment plants. The coalition is asking the U.S. EPA to issue permits capping nitrogen at 8 mg/L, a level they believe, and have had engineers prove, is more attainable.
Watters, along with state representative Peter Schmidt, said they have talked to numerous officials. Watters has also written a letter and discussed the matter with Gov. Maggie Hassan.
Councilor Michael Crago reiterated to Watters and the public that lowering the nitrogen levels to what the EPA and DES wants could cost the affected communities a total of $1.5 billion.
"The difficulty here is with the EPA," Watters said. "The EPA has its law, has its rules and issues its licenses."
Watters also added the process is a political one with "enormous political implications."
Councilor Catherine Cheney said the nitrogen restrictions do not make any sense, and Deputy Mayor Robert Carrier agreed.
"It just doesn't coincide," he said.
State legislators at the workshop on Wednesday along with Watters, were state representatives Marsha Pelletier, Greg Burdwood, James Verschueren, William Baber, Janice Gardner, Dorothea Hooper, Peter Bixby and Peter Schmidt.

Continuing the Legacy: 'A.B. Simpson Would Be Blessed'
"If A.B. Simpson were to wake up today and see Nyack/ATS, he'd be blessed out of his shoes!"
With those words, Dr. David Rambo summed up his perspective on where the Christian and Missionary Alliance's charter institute of higher education is in 2007 and where it is headed in the future. He should know. Dr. Rambo served as President of Nyack College and the Alliance Theological Seminary (ATS) from 1982 to 1987, and then returned to lead ATS from 1996 to 2000.
Dr. Rambo bases his optimism on a handful of truths. The first is Nyack/ATS's dramatic growth.
"If you ask people about enrollment, they usually say it's around 1,000," he said. "But what is it now, closer to 3,200? Most people would gasp if they heard that! They don't know there's been a lot of growth in places like New York City, Albany, Ohio, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico."
Rambo credits extension campuses for much of the enrollment surge—most notably the campus in New York City. He openly wonders if the NYC campus will one day surpass the central campus in enrollment and even believes such an occurrence may be central to the continued health of the college.
He also sees great potential in the area of online education. "Many major universities now are into online education. I think online education is the future," he said. It's the only way some people are going to get to college." Does Dr. Rambo think offering online classes somehow short-changes students? Does it rob them of the quality education they would otherwise receive on campus? "Studies are debunking many of the objections to it," he said. "And for many, it's online college or no college at all. I think it's a wide open door with unlimited possibilities."
Dr. Rambo believes one of Nyack's greatest strengths—and potential burdens—is its tremendous diversity. Widely recognized as the most ethnically diverse institution of Christian higher education in the world, Nyack/ATS is in a position to break new ground—and break down old barriers—says Rambo. It can also offer something to its students that most others colleges and universities cannot.
"Students who come here are getting the kind of education that mirrors the real world," Dr. Rambo said. "Pursuing and maintaining ethnic diversity is wonderful. At the same time, it's terribly hard work."
Finally, Dr. Rambo is encouraged by the spiritual fiber of Nyack/ATS students. That, combined with the ongoing commitment of the college and seminary to reach the world for Christ, will carry the school safely into the 21st century.
"Wesley said, 'The world is our parish,' and Nyack/ATS has said that from Day One," Dr, Rambo said. "We're involved all over the world in a big way.
"And the young people … there are many who are pessimistic about young people today. But I view this generation of students with great admiration. They are willing. They are radical. They are people who want to change the world.
"Jesus is building His church and He is using Nyack/ATS to help do that. We are at the front end of a great opportunity."

An arsonist continued to light fires in a Melbourne public housing building for the elderly while firefighters were trying to put them out.
Forty elderly people were evacuated from the Port Melbourne building after a fire was lit in a sitting room late Sunday night.
Police arrived to find a second fire had just been lit, and two more fires were lit after firefighters arrived.
It came 10 days after another fire was lit in a common room in the same Department of Human Services building.
"It is quite brazen that someone would do that and put people's lives in danger in that way," Detective Senior Constable Dean Vincent told reporters on Monday.
"It's quite shocking that someone would put all those elderly residents' lives in danger."
Police were interviewing residents but had no suspects at this stage. They did not say whether the Sunday night fires were linked with the previous fire. The automatic sprinklers went off in some hallways, although Det Sen Const Vincent said it was too early to know how much damage had been caused.
MFB spokesman Trevor Woodward said the fires were small and were kept from spreading by the sprinkler system, but fire crews remained on the scene for four hours in case other fires broke out.
Residents said it was a secure building, but sometimes entrance doors were left ajar.
No one was hurt in the fire.
Det Sen Const Vincent said arson chemists were investigating the cause of the fires, set in the three-storey complex from 11.30pm (AEST).

It was a celebration 12 years in the making.
And it started as soon as Art Modell stepped out of Gate E atBaltimore-Washington International Airport last night.
Modell kissed his grandchildren Breslin, Arthur and Collier, who greetedhim with white balloons. He hugged Gov. Parris N. Glendening and Mayor Kurt L.Schmoke. Then he was greeted by several hundred enthusiastic football fans,who were having a party.
Multicolored confetti covered everybody's clothes. A trumpet and tromboneprovided music worthy of a presidential campaign rally. This time Modell wasthe victorious candidate.
After several months of vilification in Cleveland, he had arrived inBaltimore a hero.
Many of the fans held up signs of all shapes and sizes. A smallblue-and-white sign read: Baltimore + NFL = a smiley face in the shape of afootball. A large purple-and-yellow sign played off a popular beer commercial:"Hey Art, we love you man."
Deborah Reese of Bel Air, who works for the Browns' Baltimore-basedadvertising agency, made the signage a family affair. She hung one around theneck of each of her children: Ethan, 5, Brianna, 3, and Mackenzi, 10 months.
Ethan's said, "Thanks Mr. Art." Brianna's said, "For Giving Us."Mackenzi's said, "The Ball."
"We've been without football for a long time," Deborah said. "This is likea dream come true."
It was a sentiment shared by football-starved fans around town.
"I didn't believe we would actually get the team until last [Thursday]night," said Norm Stumpf of Brooklyn Park, a Baltimore Colts season-ticketholder for 10 years. "I just hope I can afford the games, but I'll be a fanwhether I have to do it from my TV or out at the stadium."
Jim Phillips, the president of the Colts Corral, has no doubt where hewill be when the team takes the field at Memorial Stadium next season.
"Section 12, upper three, seats eight and nine," said Phillips, a memberof the Colts Corral since 1963. "Those were my seats and I just can't wait tosit there again."
Since the Colts left town in 1984, the Colts Corral has supported the USFLBaltimore Stars and the CFL Baltimore Stallions. For a while, there was noteam to support, but the group remained intact.
"We enjoyed the Stars and the Stallions, but we were always hoping for anNFL team," Phillips said. "I'm tremendously elated. I've been an avidBaltimore Colts fan since 1956, and I'll be the same with the BaltimoreWhatevers."
The Special Teamers, the volunteer booster group that organized the SaveOur Stallions season-ticket drive, is turning its attention to Baltimore's NFLteam, as well.
"This is going to be our team and the Special Teamers want to support themand get involved," said Special Teamers coordinator Lucy Kelly. "I enjoyed thetwo years with the CFL, but I'm an NFL fan. I'm excited."
Even Len "Big Wheel" Burrier is warming up to the NFL.
Burrier, who has led sideline cheers for the Colts, Stars and Stallions,had vowed never to attend an NFL game here if the Stallions left.
"I won't completely close the door, but we have to have a little mourningtime," Burrier said. "I put my heart into the Colts and they ripped it outwhen they left. I put my heart into the Stars and when they left, they rippedit out. We had another winner with the Stallions, and now they're gone.
"I think this is great for the people that wanted an NFL team, but I thinkthis should have been done 10 years ago."
Said former Colt Tom Matte: "I'm very happy for Art Modell and very happythe NFL finally realizes that Baltimore deserves an NFL team. It's bringing atradition of winning football back to Baltimore, which is something our fansdeserve, and Modell will make an effort to have that happen."
Finally, Baltimore Colts Hall of Famer Art Donovan offered his uniqueperspective.
"I'm happy to see Baltimore get a football team, but I feel sorry for thepoor people of Cleveland," Donovan said. "Indianapolis did the same thing toBaltimore, so who knows? I don't really know anybody on their team, except for[Vinny] Testaverde. I never rooted for the Browns. I never rooted foranybody."

BabyView monitoring system
Price: $299
Rating: * * * ½
Website: www.babyview.com.au
Where most wireless baby monitors let parents only hear what's going on in their little darling's bedroom, the BabyView monitoring system lets them observe all the action (or lack of it).
Featuring a full-colour LCD screen - albeit only a small 1.5-inch panel - the BabyView is easy to use and requires only the camera and monitor units to be plugged into the nearest AC power socket.
Camera and monitor can also run on AA batteries if you need the baby-monitoring apparatus to be portable.
The camera sits in a ball-shaped housing that pivots on the stand. However, it should have been designed with straps so it could be secured to a cot.
A night mode broadcasts a black and white video image in zero light conditions.
It works well, despite the small monitor screen, and lets you see just enough detail to make out movement.
In normal light, the colour video feed will give most parents more peace of mind than audio alone.
Its maker claims the BabyView has an operating range of 25 metres between the monitor and camera, but what you get in practice will depend on the layout of your home and interference from other wireless devices.
The 2.4GHz broadcasting frequency is the same as that of cordless digital phones and Wi-Fi networks, so either has the potential to mess up the signal.
In testing, our Wi-Fi network and microwave oven did prove a problem for the BabyView, but not the phone.
The monitor module has an audio- visual output so you can connect it to a VCR for security camera-style recording.
Having batteries that can be recharged within the BabyView monitor would be a great improvement, allowing you to unplug it and use it anywhere.
Still, this set-up is a step up from audio-only baby monitoring devices.

Hashim Amla ground out a patient century to give South Africa the advantage on the first day of the second and final Test against New Zealand at St George's Park on Friday.
Amla made 106 not out as South Africa reached 325 for four by the close of play.
The host nation were made to work for their runs against a determined New Zealand team on a slow pitch on which the batsmen seldom looked completely in control.
But an unbeaten century partnership between Amla and Faf du Plessis (69 not out), with some free scoring after tea, put South Africa well ahead.
"They bowled really well up front and asked a lot of questions," said AB de Villiers, who made 51 in one of three significant partnerships involving Amla.
"The ball was swinging nicely and we felt we were under a bit of pressure. But Hashim and Faf had a really good partnership and put us in a strong position."
De Villiers said South Africa would be looking to pile on the runs on Saturday.
Amla century puts South Africa in charge
Hashim Amla ground out a patient century to give South Africa the advantage on the first day of the second and final Test against New Zealand at St George's Park on Friday.
"If we get another partnership going I think New Zealand are in trouble. If we can bat them out of the game they will be under a lot of pressure."
New Zealand left-arm bowler Neil Wagner, who was born in South Africa, admitted: "It was a very tough day. The wicket was a bit slow. After lunch we bowled really well and got a couple of wickets that put us back in the game.
"But we let it slip towards the end. Against a good side like South Africa you have to be patient and create more opportunities by stringing a lot of good balls together for longer periods of time."
Amla survived on 48 when he cut hard at Trent Boult and Kane Williamson could not hold a sharp chance at gully.
Amla reached his half-century in the same over off 92 deliveries with his seventh four.
The only boundary in his second half-century was the cut off Boult which raised his 19th Test century after another 95 balls.
Amla was involved in partnerships of 92 for the second wicket with captain Graeme Smith and 86 for the fourth wicket with de Villiers.
Du Plessis took the majority of the strike in his partnership with Amla, facing 112 of the 173 balls the pair needed to add 102 runs, with Amla content to push the ball into gaps, taking ones and twos as he ensured he did not take risks on a day when lapses of concentration contributed to all four wickets.
Du Plessis had an escape in the first over of the second new ball with his score on 42 when a ball from Boult flicked his thigh pad and went through to wicketkeeper BJ Watling.
An appeal for caught behind was turned down by umpire Ian Gould and the New Zealanders did not seek a review.
A "hot spot" replay showed the ball had brushed his bottom glove before deflecting off his thigh pad.
It was a pitch on which both batsmen and bowlers needed to exercise patience and for much of the day there was a spirited performance by New Zealand, who lost the first Test in Cape Town by an innings and 27 runs inside three days.
Their bowlers responded to a call by captain Brendon McCullum to show aggression and there were numerous short-pitched deliveries when the ball was still relatively new.
Smith was struck on the helmet by Doug Bracewell in the fourth over.
Bracewell was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers, taking two for 70 in 21 overs.
He took the first wicket when Alviro Petersen (21) top-edged a pull to fine leg and had South African kingpin Jacques Kallis caught behind for eight.
Smith, who won the toss and decided to bat, made 54 before he was caught down the leg side by Watling off the bowling of left-arm fast bowler Neil Wagner.

Harvey, Mets top Padres
Flushing, NY – The New York Mets think they have the ace of their rotation in Matt Harvey, and if his first start of the season was any indication, they may be right.
The 24-year-old right-hander dominated with 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, and the Mets smacked the Padres, 8-4, on Wednesday at Citi Field.
Ike Davis, Lucas Duda and John Buck each hit two-run homers to back up Harvey (1-0), who began his first full season by allowing just one hit and two walks. After crushing the Padres, 11-2, on Opening Day, the Mets will look to sweep the season-opening series on Thursday.
San Diego starter Clayton Richard (0-1), last season's National League leader in home runs allowed, gave up all three of New York's homers. He lasted just 4 1/3 innings, giving up eight runs -- seven earned -- on seven hits.
Carlos Quentin and Nick Hundley each contributed an RBI for the Padres.
Harvey got going early, fanning five of the first nine Padres and was perfect through three innings. Everth Cabrera had the Padres first hit in the fourth, but was later picked off and Harvey forced an inning ending double-play soon after to escape his only jam of the evening.
"He's got a presence on the mound that not everyone has," said Davis. "I'll tell you what, I wouldn't like to hit against the guy."
The Mets jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second on the bat of Duda, who crushed Richard's fastball down the middle into the 10th row of the right field upper deck.
In his next at-bat, Duda raked another shot into right, this one for a double. Buck followed, and his opposite field liner just cleared the right-field fence to give the Mets a four-run cushion by the end of the fourth.
New York then broke it open in the fifth by plating four more, with Davis' deep two-run blast highlighting the inning and Buck delivering the final score with an RBI single.
David Wright got it started, though, when he ripped an RBI double down the left field line to score Daniel Murphy from first. Richard was yanked after walking Marlon Byrd and the Mets had a commanding 8-0 lead going into sixth.
Harvey capped his performance with four strikeouts over his last two innings to reach double-digits, and Bobby Parnell came on to record the last out after LaTroy Hawkins surrendered three runs -- one earned -- in the ninth.
"Its a good one," said Padres manager Bud Black on Harvey's fastball. "It stays through the strike zone with velocity, its got good carry to it. The ones at the top of the zone we just couldn't get to."
The Padres had just three hits through the first eight innings, with Cameron Maybin plating their first run with an RBI groundout.
Game Notes
New York was 3-for-5 with runners in scoring position ... Harvey also added a single in his first at-bat of the season ... Hundley and Cabrera each had two hits for the Padres, who were 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position.

The zombie comedy "Life After Beth" has come to life.
The independent film, which stars Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly and Anna Kendrick, among others, began filming earlier this year month in Los Angeles, according to film permits.
"Life After Beth" has already filmed in Griffith Park, a handful of private residences and a church in Encino, an apartment building near USC and Mountain View Cemetery in Altadena.
On Friday, the film and its 55 crew members shot scenes at a private residence in Northridge, according to a permit filed with FilmL.A. Inc. The permit referenced interior dialogue, intermittent pedestrian control, smoke effects, and simply "Zombies."
Zombies have been running wild in Hollywood of late, with Brad Pitt's recent thriller "World War Z," Summit Entertainment's "Warm Bodies," not to mention AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead."
"Life After Beth" contributed to a 20% jump in feature location filming in the Los Angeles area last week, though location filming for features has been flat this month compared to a year ago.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Television saw a 13% drop in production days for locations shoot last week, and is down 24% this month versus a year ago.
Commercial production also dropped 6.4% last week and is off 3% so far this quarter from a year ago, according to a Los Angeles Times review of data from FilmL.A. Inc. The data track productions that film on streets as well as non-certified sound stages in the city and county.

A Mini-Compound in Pasadena
I love living in Chicago, but I can get a tad envious of places where warmer weather allows for year-round indoor/outdoor living spaces. One such space? This stylish family home composed of sleek mini-buildings.
Designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture and built in Pasadena, the stucco buildings were inspired by takeout containers. Their uneven roofs have a practical function too — they allow for strategic rain runoff and solar panel placement, as well as for rooftop gardens. Indoors, the houses are just as eco-friendly — solar collectors heat water and in the summer, they're cooled by warm air that is drawn in by fans, cooled in tubes, and recirculated.
One of the owners stated, "I had seen Frank Gehry's Schnabel house, and I thought it was a cool idea to have separate pavilions where we could work at home, the boys could hang out with friends, and my family could visit." Each of the buildings on their property contains one living or sleeping area and large glass doors that face the other buildings and the gardens. It designed both to allow for a bit of freedom and to draw everyone out to enjoy the outdoor areas.
Overall, it's a creative, eco-friendly, beautifully-done space.

Global Thought Leaders to Converge in US to Explore Business Innovation and Sustainable Profit Growth
Jan 02, 2013, 03:21 ET
VERNON HILLS, Ill., Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A two-day CEO summit, "Redefining Reality: For Sustainable Profit Growth," will be held in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday and Thursday, January 9th and 10th. With business and government banking on innovation to fuel economic growth, this conference will bring together global thought leaders and leading CEOs to cast a fresh lens on these issues. The conference will be held at two venues – the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the United States Institute of Peace – under the aegis of Tetra Pak, the leading food processing and packaging solutions company recently named one of the "Top 100 Global Innovators" by Thomson Reuters.
John Kao, bestselling author of Innovation Nation and chairman of the Global Advisory Council on Innovation of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, will open the conference on January 9th at the Mandarin Oriental with a presentation on how America is losing its innovation edge, why it matters and how to get it back. Dubbed "Mr. Creativity" and "a serial innovator" by The Economist, Kao is a leading authority on organizational transformation and emerging technologies. A Q&A session will follow his presentation.
Relationship skills, and their critical relevance to CEOs, will be addressed that evening in a presentation by Yale-trained sociologist Pepper Schwartz. The topic responds to IBM's 2012 Global CEO Study of 1,700 CEOs in 64 countries and 18 industries, which found that leaders must empower their employees through values, engage customers as individuals and amplify innovation with partnerships. According to Schwartz, all three objectives require the same thing: good relationship skills. A professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, Schwartz is considered the nation's leading expert in business and romance, and will share her perspectives in a presentation titled, "It's all about the relationship: what research on romance can tell you about harmony in the workplace."
Joining the line-up from Paris, INSEAD strategy professor Renee Mauborgne, co-author of the award-winning international best-seller book Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Spaces and Make Competition Irrelevant, will discuss how businesses are facing more competition than ever, creating diminished brand loyalty and commoditized product lines; why it matters; and critical strategies businesses can use to create healthy and sustainable portfolios.
James Allen, Bain & Company senior partner in London and a recognized expert on global growth, emerging market entry and turnaround strategies, will address how U.S. businesses will face increasing threats from competitors in developing markets and learn to thrive through global expansion.
His topic, "Globalization. Opportunity? Maybe. Threat? Definitely," will also stress leveraging repeatable models to reduce the complexity inherent in running multinational businesses and propose a seven-step plan to reach this goal – including strategies to maximize multi-national partners such as Tetra Pak.
Steven Rattner, head of the Obama Administration's successful effort to restructure the automobile industry and chairman of Willett Advisors LLC, the investment arm for New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's personal and philanthropic assets, will examine "Cost Competitiveness."
He chronicled his experience as a counselor to the U.S. Treasury Secretary in his book, Overhaul: An Insider's Account of the Obama Administration's Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry. His presentation will cover how cost competitiveness is critical, why a quick look at the GM bailout matters and how executives can benefit by looking at their companies through the eyes of a private equity firm.
Arnold Dratt and John Chen of Hilco Trading, one of the world's largest and most respected asset valuation advisories, will shed further light on Rattner's approach with a presentation on the private equity perspective. Hilco Trading's industrial disposition platform is one of the largest in the world, providing solutions for manufacturing companies, including GM, Ford, Chrysler, Boeing, Seagate Technology and Western Digital. Dratt and Chen will provide examples and case studies of companies that have hit speed bumps and then successfully restructured, and also discuss how to take an offensive posture with internal steps to stay profitable.
Last but far from least, Alan Hinchman, global marketing director for infrastructure at GE Intelligent Platforms' Energy, Oil & Gas, Water and Commercial Buildings, will discuss "The Environment and Why it Matters for Sustainable Profit Growth." The environment can and will affect corporate profits, and Hinchman will cover the most pressing issue on the horizon (water) and why corporations need to put plans in place to address this issue now.
The conference will offer C-Suite executives a reality check, and leave them with new perspectives designed to challenge the way business profitability is currently viewed in America. Michael Zacka, president and CEO of Tetra Pak United States and Canada, will close out program with key takeaways.
Tetra Pak is the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company. Working closely with our customers and suppliers, we provide safe, innovative and environmentally sound products that each day meet the needs of hundreds of millions of people in more than 170 countries around the world.

Big guns join anti-patent push
The three most famous European authors of Open Source software have called on the EU Council not to adopt a draft directive on software patents which they have characterised as "deceptive, dangerous, and democratically illegitimate".
In a media statement issued through the NoSoftwarePatents.com campaign, Linux creator Linus Torvalds, MySQL author Michael Widenius and PHP author Rasmus Lerdorf said that software authors were well protected by copyright law while software patents "established the law of the strong, which creates more injustice than justice."
Their statement comes a few days after Poland refused to back the EU directive on software patents in its existing form. Last week Microsoft warned Asian governments that they could face patent lawsuits for using the Linux operating system instead of its Windows software.
The open-source programs created by Torvalds, Widenius and Lerdorf form three of the four parts of a technology stack commonly referred to as LAMP by the first letters of its components. The combination of Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database) and PHP (programming language) is an industry standard that powers millions of web servers worldwide.
Torvalds and Widenius, the Finnish Software Entrepreneur of the Year 2003, are Swedish-speaking Finns. Greenland-born Rasmus Lerdorf is a famous Dane according to Google.
In their joint statement, Torvalds, Widenius and Lerdorf said they called the draft legislation deceptive "because it leads laymen to believe that software is excluded from patentability while actually containing a number of passages that would legalise software patents in the EU, the broadest one of which is its article 5(2)."
They laid emphasis on the fact that an adoption of the proposal without a formal vote, as a so-called A item, would lack democratic legitimacy.
Under the Act of Accession, new voting weights apply in the EU Council from this month on, and countries that supported the proposed legislation on May 18 fall short of a qualified majority.
The NoSoftwarePatents campaign was set up earlier this year by 1&1, part of the United Internet group and a publicly traded German company, Linux vendor Red Hat, and database vendor MySQL AB, Europe's largest open source company.

New Delhi, Dec 27: Bihar has emerged as the fastest growing state in the country with a growth rate of 10.9 per cent.
According to the Planning Commission data, Bihar was the slowest growing state during 2001-05 period with GDP figure of 2.9 per cent. However, between 2006 and 2010, it grew at 10.9 per cent, becoming the fastest growing state and shedding the tag of BIMARU (an acronym for sick states).
On the other hand, Gujarat was the fastest growing state between 2001 and 2005 with figure of 11 per cent. But during 2006 and 2010, its growth dipped to 9.3 per cent and was overtaken by Bihar and four other states – Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Maharashtra and Orissa.
Interestingly, Gujarat was the only state among 17 fastest ones to see a decline in growth.
Chhattisgarh grew from 7.7 per cent in 2001-05 to 10 per cent growth, Haryana grew from 8.4 per cent to 9.7 per cent, Maharashtra from 8.2 per cent to 9.6 per cent and Orissa from 7.8 per cent to 9.4 per cent.
Average GDP growth of top five states was 9.10 per cent in 11th five year plan, up from 7 per cent in 10th plan and 5 per cent in 9th plan.
Bottom five states also saw a significant average growth, with figures of 8.58 per cent in 11th plan as compared to 6.76 per cent in 10th plan and 4.12 per cent in 9th plan.
The period between 2004-05 and 2011-12 also saw an average increase of 300 per cent in consumption in rural areas, bridging the big divide witnessed in the earlier five-year period and highlighting the inclusive growth.
In the 12th plan period, the Centre is set to increase its assistance substantially over the previous period for various programmes.
Among them, Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) is going to be the biggest beneficiary with Rs. 1,08,503 crore, marking around 396 per cent increase.
For National Health Mission, the increase in allocation will be 278 per cent from Rs. 66,127 crore in 11th plan to Rs. 250,000 crore in the 12th plan.

The website launched around midnight Jan. 23.
Its sole purpose: To make public accusations against Savannah Alderman Tony Thomas ranging from allegations of sexual misconduct to misuse of city funds.
With the launch of that website, its creators set up a situation unique to today's digital media environment.
They had tried for months to get the Savannah Morning News and other news outlets to generate stories based on their allegations but were told they didn't have enough evidence to support their claims and no basis for news coverage could be found.
Law enforcement officers gave similar answers when they were approached.
Even 20 years ago that would have been the end of it, but now anyone with the right technical skills or access to them can set up a website and make claims - whether right or wrong - and share them with anyone with Internet access.
It leaves open questions about what the accused party can do in response and whether traditional libel laws apply. It also raises a question about whether the traditional media should acknowledge the allegations in the face of the reality that the whole world - via the Internet - can view them.
Within hours of the launch of the site focused on Alderman Thomas, a link to it was posted on Facebook pages, passed along in text messages and shared in emails.
By Feb. 1, more than 5,500 unique visitors had been on the site, said John Perry, a private investigator who launched the site.
The most serious allegations are presented in a video interview with Josh Flowers, a 28-year-old Savannahian who says he worked for Thomas when he was a teenager.
In the video, Flowers says the incidents happened when he was 17. He has since corrected the statement to say he was 19.
Thomas has categorically denied Flowers' allegations in interviews with the Savannah Morning News. In the days since, he has taken to his public Facebook page to indirectly address the allegations and challenge his accusers. They have been equally active on their Facebook pages in taking jabs at him.
District Attorney Meg Heap, after consulting with Savannah-Chatham Police Chief Willie Lovett and City Attorney Brooks Stillwell, has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to determine whether Thomas has committed any crime.
Given the nature of the allegations - and that only four days earlier Thomas had accused Lovett's department of manipulating crime reports to improve statistics - all agreed an independent law enforcement review of Flowers' allegations is needed.
"If it is true, we've got some serious issues to pursue," she said. "If it's not true, we've got a man's reputation at stake."
Catherine Sapp, special agent in charge of the GBI's Statesboro office, said Feb. 4 her office has been asked to look into any wrongdoing.
She could not estimate how long the review might take. No other agencies are involved, she said.
Media's new role
Word of the site spread quickly through social media. Business leaders, state legislators, fellow council members and neighborhood association leaders say they have viewed the site.
None of them wanted to publicly discuss what they think of the site or the allegations made on it.
Thomas has also indicated a change in some of his Facebook friendships. On Jan. 27, he posted this to his page:
"Listen. Over the next few days, some of you may be deleted. Don't take it personal...just take it and move on."
Even in the era of Facebook and Twitter, creating a website to unveil the findings of a private investigation of a public official is fairly unusual, said Kelly McBride, senior faculty at The Poynter Institute for Journalism based in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Anonymous claims posted on social media are not uncommon, but to have someone willing to step forward, give his real name and describe allegations of inappropriate conduct by an elected official - that is uncommon, she said.
It also creates an unusual situation for the community and the media that covers it.
"In the world when we were the gatekeepers of information, we would have completed an investigation, and only after our investigation was finished would we have decided whether we would publish a story," McBride said. "In this world, we are one of the players, and we are working to seek the truth amid the investigation. We attempt to bring leadership, organization and be the sense-makers in the conversation while we attempt to discern the truth."
Changing media has changed standards, too, McBride said.
"In the past, we would have said it is absolutely unethical to print a story we haven't independently verified," she said.
Now, she says, it would be considered a disservice to not weigh in on what's being said.
Legal options
Thomas said he is leaving all options on the table legally, but said Jan. 23 he probably would end up settling for the site being taken down and a public retraction.
Perry laughs at the thought. "That's never going to happen," he said.
Thomas said he doubts anyone involved has any money worth the trouble of a lawsuit.
His recourse isn't different from anyone else who might find themselves the target of a Facebook page or even a series of Tweets that might attack their reputation with unproven claims.
Courts are extremely leery about ordering injunctions against written or spoken words unless it's to halt perceived physical injury or to stop the release of confidential financial information or trade secrets, said David Hudson, general counsel for the Georgia Press Association and attorney for the Savannah Morning News.
Otherwise, courts are reluctant to infringe on First Amendment rights by prior restraint, Hudson said.
Thomas' standing as a public official creates a higher legal standard if he did choose to sue his accusers.
"If they make false statements of fact, they can be sued for libel or slander," Hudson said. "Since he's a public official, he would have to prove not only that they were false, but they were made with actual knowledge or belief they were false."
Perry, the private investigator, shows little fear of a lawsuit.
"If he sues me, we go through discovery and he has to prove I'm lying," Perry said. "I didn't rush into this. I don't like that I'm in this situation, that I've had to put myself personally at risk. There were enough red flags that someone else should have looked long and hard at this."
Social connections
Thomas acknowledges knowing Flowers, but the accounts of how they knew each other and in what context differ and are somewhat contentious.
Flowers admits that when he went to work for Thomas about 10 years ago, he was basically living on the streets and looking for any way to support his drug and alcohol habits.
Thomas owns Renaissance Marketing, a company that sells bus ads for Chatham Area Transit and other bus companies. He often employs young men such as Flowers to help with the bus ads and to help with campaign work during election years.
An alderman first elected in 1999, Thomas also is known as a pugnacious advocate for his southside district. In the last two elections, he has run unopposed and eventually is expected to run for mayor.
His political rise has not been slowed by his frequent club-hopping and occasional excessive celebration, something he has openly joked about in City Council sessions.
Thomas says he had to fire Flowers because of his drug and alcohol use, and he argues any investigation should center on Flowers and those working with him.
Flowers says he left when he rejected an unwanted advance by Thomas. Thomas disputes Flowers' accusations.
"First of all, it's slanderous. Second, it's not true," he said Jan. 23. "I deny all the things (Josh) is claiming."
The business angle
Thomas believes a business rival, Russ Sill, has a deeper involvement in the allegations being made against him.
"You all need to explore the relationship between Josh Flowers and Russ Sill," Thomas said.
Sill owns an advertising company that handles the roof-top ads on Yellow Cabs and is a former candidate for City Council who has said he plans to run again in 2015.
He denies having an interest in Thomas' advertising business.
"I don't have all my own vehicles under contract," he said. "Why would I want to go after his bus ads?"
Flowers and Sill say they met in 2003 during the local city elections, but Sill says they didn't become friends until 2005. They also acknowledge Flowers worked for Sill when Sill managed the Comfort Suites Historic District hotel. They say that was around 2008, and only for a few days.
Sill does say he helped put Perry in touch with Flowers late last year.
Perry had been asking around the southside area, then making phone calls to find people like Flowers.
Earlier, Perry said, he had friended Thomas on Facebook because, as a southside resident, he was impressed with the way Thomas got things done for residents.
The more he looked, though, the more he became curious about why the alderman had so many photos and out-of-town trips with young men mentioned on his page.
Investigation sought
Flowers and Perry began talking in August, when Flowers was working in New Mexico. Soon, both were contacting members of the Savannah media, including the Morning News. They also asked for a meeting with the GBI and sought out the FBI.
In September, after Flowers moved back to Savannah, they met with Detective Bill Sharpley of the Savannah-Chatham police department's Special Victim's Unit.
None of the media outlets or law enforcement agencies were ready to proceed, either because of the difficulty in verifying Flowers' allegations, because of lack of jurisdiction or because, in two specific allegations brought to Sharpley, the statute of limitations had run out, the detective told them.
Neither was ready to stop. So Perry launched the website, with the Flowers video as the main feature. Perry conducts the interview.
In it, Flowers details his allegations against Thomas.
He also describes a 2003 party at the home of then-Alderwoman Edna Jackson in which he claims she provided him with alcohol when he was a minor. Jackson denies the allegation.
Competing sites
Perry says neither Sill nor any other Savannah people have any involvement with his website, other than to help review information he finds.
He is getting technical help from friends in Pennsylvania and Atlanta, he says, but won't elaborate. The site's name is traceable only to Domains by Proxy LLC, a private registration site owned by GoDaddy.com. The site explains that benefits of private registration include protecting your identity and voicing political and First Amendment speech.
Perry says he chose the site because Thomas would need an injunction to learn the names of the technicians who helped him build the site.
He thought that might be necessary, he said, in case Thomas tried to stop the site before it went public.
Sill denies any involvement, other than posting a link to the website to his Facebook friends, which he says number about 1,000.
Some of Sill's Facebook posts show he knew the site was coming and that he supports its content: "Two more days!!!! :)" a Jan. 21 post read.
On Jan. 24, in posting a link to the site, he denied owning or posting to the site, but said the accusations were "shocking, disappointing, but NOT surprising to most."
Spin control
Until the GBI announces a decision, what's being waged is a battle for public opinion with a few more social media twists.
Sill last week began sending emails and alerts that someone had created a Gmail account in his name and was leaving inappropriate comments on Perry's website.
One asks for Flowers' phone number and adds, "I need an assistant."
On Jan. 30, Thomas launched his own site, TonyThomas.org. Unlike his public Facebook profile, this site touts his municipal career. It features photos of him with other civic leaders, in rotundas and with a former St. Patrick's Day parade marshal.
None of the casual social photos that populated his public Facebook page are here. The only one close is on his gallery page. It's Thomas, in a white Stetson, smiling from the crowd at a 1999 George Strait concert.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. stock market finished Thursday's volatile session generally higher as positive earnings and stronger-than-expected data outweighed worries over military escalation near Ukrainian border.
An 8.2% jump in Apple Inc, the heaviest-weighed stock on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, was the biggest in 2 years and accounted for more than a 4-point gain on the S&P 500, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indexes.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.80% ended the day 3.22 points, or 0.2%, higher at 1,878.61. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.66% closed absolutely unchanged at 16,501.65. The last time the blue-chip index closed without any change was in Dec 24, 2001, according to FactSet.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.01% gained 21.37 points, or 0.5%, to 4,148.34.
Read the recap of MarketWatch's live blog of today's stock-market action.
"Apple's earnings last night and durable goods orders this morning were driving the markets higher, up until Ukraine fears resurfaced," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones.
"Ukraine has been on the back burner and simmering, but today's headline news was a reminder to investors that the pot can sometimes boil over," she added.
Ahead of the market open, a jump in durable-goods orders outweighed a bigger-than-expected rise in weekly jobless claims, sending stock futures higher. Orders for durable goods such as computers, aircraft and heavy machinery jumped 2.6% in March and posted the biggest gain in four months, offering another sign that the U.S. economy might be on the upswing after a winter-induced lull. The jump was far above expectations.
Separately, the number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits last week rose to the highest level in April, but most of the bump may have been related to a seasonal quirk tied to the Easter holiday.
At the center of attention, however, was Apple Inc., AAPL, +0.97% whose quarterly results topped Wall Street forecasts and the company announced a 7-for-1 stock split. If Apple joins the Dow, who gets the boot? Vote here.
Facebook FB, +1.35% reversed post-earnings gains and closed 0.8% lower. The social network company posted first-quarter earnings that nearly tripled and revenue that jumped 72%, with both numbers blowing out forecasts.
Ahead of the open, economic bellwether Caterpillar CAT, +1.91% topped forecasts reporting a 4.8% increase in profits during the first quarter. Shares rose 1.8%. But CEO and chairman Doug Oberhelman was concerned about the situation in Ukraine.
"We are very concerned about the situation in Ukraine and Russia. We are hoping for a peaceful resolution, but business confidence around the world could dampen, and trade and world GDP could slow should the situation deteriorate. The global economy remains fragile, and as such, one or two setbacks could create substantial downside risk for the global economic recovery." Also read: 5 companies worried about Ukraine.
General Motors GM, +0.33% reversed post-earnings gains and closed 0.6% lower. The company saw a profit drop on recall charges, but far exceeded analyst expectations, with earnings of 29 cents a share and revenue of $37.4 billion.
Aetna Inc. AET, +0.32% rose 5.9% after beating earnings estimates. 3M MMM, +0.70% slipped 1% after missing expectations on revenue.
Shares of Zimmer Holdings Inc. US:ZMH jumped 12% on news it will buy Biomet in a deal valued at $13.35 billion.
On the downside, shares of Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, +0.75% fell 3.5% after the wireless-technology firm reported an earnings view that beat forecasts, but missed on sales.
Reporting after the closing bell, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.50% shares rose 2.2%, after its first-quarter results topped forecasts.
Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +1.86% shares also rose 2% after earnings and revenue came in above Wall Street's expectations. Microsoft earnings: First time for new CEO Nadella.
Starbucks Corp. SBUX, +0.61% shares gained 0.7% after fist-quarter profit and revenue were broadly in line with expectations.
Overseas, Wall Street's pullback drove some losses across Asia, with the Nikkei 225 index NIK, +0.16% off nearly 1%. In Europe SXXP, +0.26% most benchmarks rebounded from losses and closed higher.
In other markets, crude-oil prices CLM4, -0.67% rose, while gold GCM4, +0.00% also gained and the ICE dollar index DXY, +0.20% a gauge of its strength against six rivals, slipped.
