By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - The Braves have purchased the contract of veteran right-hander Freddy Garcia from AAA Gwinnett.
The 36-year-old Garcia is expected to pitch out of the bullpen. Manager Fredi Gonzalez says Garcia also could be used as a spot starter in the final month of the regular season.
Garcia is 155-106 in 16 major league seasons with Seattle, the White Sox, Philadelphia, Detroit, the Yankees and Baltimore. He was 3-5 with a 5.77 ERA in 11 games, including 10 starts, with Baltimore this season.
The Braves acquired Garcia from the Orioles on Aug. 23 for cash considerations.
Garcia has pitched in relief in only 16 games in his career, but he said Sunday "I don't have any problem with that." He says he is excited to be joining a first-place team.

EL CAJON (CNS) - A man accused of setting fire to a Greek Orthodox church in Rancho San Diego and trying to kill a cellmate four days after his arrest must stand trial on arson, attempted murder and assault charges, a judge ruled Monday.
Darin Wayne Williams, 39, faces life in prison with parole if convicted.
Judge Herbert Exarhos ruled that enough evidence was presented at the defendant's preliminary hearing Monday at the El Cajon Courthouse to order him to proceed to trial. A Superior Court arraignment was set for May 20.
Williams was arrested Jan. 27 within hours of a fire that caused about $250,000 in damage at Saint Gregory of Nyssa Greek Orthodox Church in the 1900 block of Mary Ann Way at the corner of Jamacha Road.
No one was injured in the 4 a.m. blaze.
Investigators from the sheriff's Bomb/Arson Unit and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were summoned, and Williams was arrested less than 10 hours after the fire.
In that case, the defendant -- who was known to church officials -- is charged with arson, vandalism of a church and second-degree burglary.
Williams is also charged with premeditated attempted murder and assault with intent to commit mayhem in connection with the attack on his cellmate Jan. 31, said Deputy District Attorney David Williams III.

The US Target Nationals and Hoyt World Open held in Hamilton OH were once again dominated by Team Hoyt shooters. The US Target Nationals kicked off the four day event where archers compete in the classic FITA event, with distances of 90, 70, 50 and 30 meters, shooting 36 arrows at each distance. At the end of the grueling 144 arrows, all four national champions were wielding Hoyt. Brady Ellison—Men's Recurve Champion, Katuna Lorig—Women's Recurve Champion, Reo Wilde—Men's Compound Champion and Erika Anschutz—Women's Compound Champion.
The US National Target also acts as the qualification round for the Hoyt World Open. Archers go head-to-head in a single elimination format. Recurve archers shoot their matches at 70 meters, whereas the compound archers shoot theirs at 50 meters. When the nail-biting pressure of the elimination matches mounted, Hoyt shooters were once again atop of the podium. Brady Ellison—Men's Recurve Champion, Heather Koehl—Women's Recurve Champion, Reo Wilde—Men's Compound Champion and Jamie Van Natta—Women's Compound Champion.

Few companies bring out a stronger opinion than Monsanto (NYSE: MON ) . While the company calls itself a sustainable agriculture company, its foes call it pure evil. That begs the question, is this company simply misunderstood? Let's take a quick look at five facts that few people probably know about the seed giant.
Monsanto had sweet beginnings
In 1901 John Queeny had an idea. He wanted to start a simple business to manufacture the artificial sweetener saccharine here in America. The goal was to supply his customers with a sweetener that would do the same job as sugar but at a lower cost. It was that initial motivation to help customers do more with less that has endured at the company he founded and named after his wife.
The one customer that changed everything
Monsanto didn't find success right away. In fact, if it wasn't for the one customer that bought its entire production run in 1903 and 1905, the company might not have survived. That big customer was Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) which at the time was experimenting with saccharine to sweeten its beverage product.
The molecule that changed farming forever
In 1970 a young Monsanto chemist named John Franz made a discovery that changed farming. He discovered a molecule called glyphosate, which is now the active ingredient in Roundup herbicides. It allowed farmers to kill almost every weed that had plagued them since the beginning . The find landed Franz in the National Inventors Hall of Fame and enabled Monsanto to continue helping customers do more with less.
The problem of population
The world's population is growing and with it there are more mouths to feed with less arable land on which to grow crops. The world's farmers must produce more food in the next 50 years than their forebears produced in the past 10,000 years. Toward this goal, Monsanto's goal is to double its core crop yields by the year 2030. That is no small task. It's one Monsanto will only accomplish through a combination of breeding, biotechnology, and improving farm-management practices.
Corn's transformation
While most can get behind improved breeding and farm management, it's the biotechnology aspect that worries us. Giving plants beneficial characteristics beyond what can be done with traditional breeding sounds like science fiction, with fears of Frankenstein lurking behind the process. While only time will tell if that proves to be true, Monsanto primarily uses biotechnology to speed up the breeding process. For example, it took 10,000 years for teosinte to become what we now know as corn, while scientists needed just 15 years to develop an insect-resistant corn. That's why Monsanto views biotechnological advances as a critical part of its goal in helping farmers. It's an expensive process, which is why the company makes so many headlines to defend the intellectual property it has developed.
Final thoughts
From its humble beginnings Monsanto was built on the premise of helping people do more with less. It's a company that might not be around today if it wasn't for Coke coming to an early rescue. Today, some suggest the company has lost its way and been taken over by what appear to be mad scientists who are doing more harm than good. Others see a company that's just trying to fill a need and make a buck while doing so. One thing is true, no matter which side of the debate one stands, odds are there is something still to be learned about the company that so many have an opinion on.
The key is to never stop learning
There are just as many misconceptions about Monsanto as there are about investing. Millions of Americans have waited on the sidelines since the market meltdown in 2008 and 2009, too scared to invest and put their money at further risk. Yet those who've stayed out of the market have missed out on huge gains and put their financial futures in jeopardy.

The system is already up and running at 90% capacity, and the buying viagra in mexico installation of www.markwellgroup.com.au the remaining units to bring it to full capacity is expected to be completed later this month.
We've been following developments, particularly with this project as it has progressed, and we will continue to cialis online pharmacy canada be interested in seeing how this first large-scale installation performs.
Flywheel energy storage is not so much a battery as it is a compensating mechanism to balance the load on the grid as power plants come on-line or go off-line. Electrical demand varies over the course of a day, and sometimes can rise (or fall) more quickly than power plants are able to respond. Grid storage systems such as this can help ease those transitions, rather than relying on http://www.boehler.org/online-cheap-levitra peak power plants running on natural gas or other carbon emitting fuels.

Latin American and Caribbean trade conferences held in Miami often concentrate on the big players — the multinationals — and global economic trends. But Trade Américas Expo, which began Thursday, is shifting the focus to small- and medium-sized businesses and creating more business opportunities for them in the hemisphere.
More than 200 business executives, government officials, lawyers and other professionals are attending the two-day event, which features panel discussions, case studies, keynote speakers and the opportunity for executives from smaller enterprises to meet one-on-one with colleagues and representatives from multinationals and trade promotion agencies.
Some 250 private match-making meetings have been set up for Thursday and Friday, said Richard Burns, chairman of the Latin Trade Group, an information and business services company that is hosting the event in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank.
"Small- and medium-sized businesses are, in my opinion, the centerpiece of development strategy in the future,'' Enrique García, president and chief executive of Caracas-based CAF-Development Bank of Latin America, said at the opening session of the event. It's being held at the JW Marriott Marquis in downtown Miami. Friday's speakers will include Uruguayan Economy and Finance Minister Fernando Lorenzo Estefan and Peru's Vice Minister of Tourism Claudia Cornejo Mohme.
Now is the time for small- and medium-sized businesses to break into the markets of the Americas, said Fabrizio Opertti, chief of trade and investment for the IDB. "We think the opportunity is right and it's ripe.''
Opertti said that there are currently 42 free-trade accords involving regional countries and Latin American and Caribbean economies are increasingly "stable, fast-growing and diversified.''
The region as a whole has a $500 trillion economy and a 600 million population and growth has been brisk for a number of Latin American economies in recent years.
"Latin America is experiencing perhaps one of the best periods I remember in my life,'' said García. One of the chief reasons, he said, is because of reforms undertaken during the era of the Latin American debt crisis and hyperinflation in the 1980s.
Also contributing to the regional surge, he said, is the dynamic growth in the economies of China and other Asian countries and their appetite for Latin American commodities as well as the region's access to capital markets "at terms we couldn't have dreamed of.''
But he struck a cautionary note. Latin America, he said, needs to increase economic growth rates and undertake further reforms in the next three to four years if it wants sustainable development. A recent IDB study found that if all countries in the region made reforms to accelerate growth, spillovers throughout the region would increase growth from an average of 3.9 percent to 6 percent.
García's message: "Let's not be complacent.''
Despite criticism that the Obama administration hasn't made Latin America and the Caribbean a priority regionally, Roberta Jacobson, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, said there have been an "incredible number of high-level'' trips by U.S. officials to the hemisphere in recent months.
During his trip to Mexico, she said, President Barack Obama made clear that "economic cooperation'' is at the top of the United States' bilateral agenda, rather than security concerns.
But she pointed out, "We've learned that there is a very strong link between security and economic growth. More and more we realize that foreign policy is economic policy.''
In order to encourage small and medium-sized businesses, the U.S. government has launched several initiatives.
Among them is La Idea, which connects entrepreneurs in the United States and Latin America and provides online resources to help businesses grow. The La Idea program is currently running a business pitch competition for small and medium-sized companies with innovative business models.
Companies in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the United States and Uruguay may participate and ideas must involve a true business partnership between a U.S. and Latin entrepreneur. The winner of the competition will receive $50,000 in cash and business support service. More information on the program is available at www.laidea.us.
The United States, Jacobson said, is also committed to trying to improve educational opportunities in the hemisphere. "Education, education, education has become a bit of my mantra. I see it as absolutely integral to everything we're trying to do in the region,'' she said.

A little country in the middle of the continent, greatly affected by external factors in which we couldn't´t interfere. A struggle between few has hit every person living in this land.
Our project to develop hundreds and thousands of kilometers of the north-west mountains of Honduras had to stop, most of the villagers around the area lost hope. Months of preparations, even years of learning, and looking for the best way to make an accelerated development was dump.
Now, one of our primary goal is to recover the trust of all the people we are trying to help. This is our project.
All around Honduras there is an infinity of places to discover, untouched paradises, dream looking islands, plus many more life changing destinies. There is one that has touch the heart of people around the world. Some even call it magical.
Cusuco National Park, on the north west of Honduras. A cloud forest responsible for holding the water supplies to the seconds biggest and most accelerated growing city in the country. Biodiversity levels touches the sky with the purity of the non touch environment of men cruel and vicious hands.
Visited by Operation Wallacea (http://www.opwall.com/), honored of being of Opwall few choices in the world. Even with many complications, their determination to help, researching in the branches of etymology, herpetology, birds, small and big mammals, plants, and for me the most important part; The social branch.
Being far away from society, Cusuco National Park has been forgotten by the government. This having a positive and a negative impact at the area. When it was named National Park in 1987, many rules were imposed into the villages in the buffer zone. Limiting people to have development.
Isolation has welcome a saving in the rich culture of this people. Not being touch by the powerful hands of worldwide marketing, a strong way of life keeps the hands of the hard-working villagers. Happy people who believe in hard work, family and religion. Here, there is NO military, No police, and most impressive No delinquency. Life has been saved in this island of the sky by the culture of good-hearted people.
The government forgot about the existence of most of the villages surrounding the national park. Leaving the work of social structure to this people. It's impressive how people will always rise and help each other in hard conditions. Building their own schools, water system, medical centers, unity watched at its most dense way. Creating their local democratic system, they choose their representatives at each village. Getting together with the rest of their people to discuss matters.
Coffee, being the primary economic sustainability factor in the area ha become an opportunity for this people. Its elevating demand around the world made coffee the center of many of the activities at the villages. Having only one-crop in the year, this 3 to 4 months are the hope of many. Most of the labor and work opportunity is condensed at this months, leaving the rest of the year as a desert for dreams. Leaving no choice to lower their life expectations, costs, and most importantly their basic needs.
Globalization has divided economy in 4 sectors. Agriculture has been into a deep down slope in the last decade. Informatics and services have had the biggest impact in our society world-wide web.
Services like tourism. That's the Key and for many people and myself the idea that would be the dramatic life changing factor. Looking at it as the big panoramic and long-term goal, it would cure-all the forgotten social aspects and save the environment. Being positive is the only way, and being exaggerated, drastic and taking strong measures.
Our work began with loading the World Wide Web, with information about this dream land. SEO, Search Engine Optimization has been our technique. letting everybody appreciate beauty of the pictures that become instant savings of that moment. Blogs, websites, channels, and more have been our target zones.
Creating logistics for the travelers to go, making the access to this place available. Hundreds and thousands of Lempiras(currency) have been spent by us to buy the cars, websites, equipment, certifications so that some day they will run alone. Be independent from us, grow by themself and have the oportunity of development.
With time the propaganda we have made has increase the income of national tourism to the park. Universities and schools are making their travel place here. It´s advantage will always be the closeness of San Pedro Sula. 15 Minutes departing from the city, you are already looking at astonishing views, being above the sky, above the clouds, the fresh air, and the strong wind blow.
A local guide, earns 120 lempiras a day for a 10+ hour work environment at the coffee farms. That's about 6 dollars per day. Denigration will always come with a salary this low, being less than half than national minimum salary (Which is also low).
Working with tourism he can earn twice or triple for half a day. Leaving more time for the family. The potential is so big, that wasting it is just sad. Breath taking views are part of their daily life. From most of the corners of the world this place has been visited by foreigners, but few of national tourism has got here.
Tourism has an exponential grow rate that involves many sectors. Food, logging, crafts, services of many kinds, and more. Diversity of activities on this Jurassic environment is the heart of its hopefully investment.
Most of Hondurans don't know this place exists, hidden as a treasure to be found. Exceptional experiences to come, showing the world there are no boundaries. It is in our genetic structure the thirst of learning about cultures from around the world.
Come to Honduras, Learn about our way of life. You are welcome to be here, your walk around the country, means the life of many people.

CLEVELAND -- Jason Donald singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, lifting the Cleveland Indians over the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night.
White Sox starter Jake Peavy took a one-hitter and a 3-1 lead into the ninth. Michael Brantley led off with a single and pinch hitter Travis Hafner followed with a tying homer.
Lonnie Chisenhall doubled with one out in the Cleveland 12th against Matt Thornton (4-10), who then intentionally walked Russ Canzler.
Right-hander Nate Jones came on to face announced pinch hitter Matt LaPorta, who was then replaced by lefty swinging Jack Hannahan. Jones struck him out before Donald hit a liner into the left-field corner.
Chris Seddon (1-1) pitched a scoreless 12h for the win, Cleveland's seventh in 17 meetings with Chicago. It was the left-hander's first victory since July 24, 2010, when he was with Seattle.
Dayan Viciedo hit a two-run homer off Cleveland closer Chris Perez in the ninth for a 3-1 lead.
Hafner tied it with his 200th homer for Cleveland and 201st of his career.
Until then, Peavy had allowed only Shin-Soo Choo's 16th homer leading off the fourth. Peavy walked one and struck out eight in what could be his final game for the White Sox. His $22 million option for next season almost certainly won't be picked up, but the right-hander has said he'd like to return.
Viciedo connected for a 426-foot shot to centre for his 24th homer -- and fifth against the Indians this season. Viciedo is hitting .346 with 18 RBIs against Cleveland.
Orlando Hudson singled for his third hit before Viciedo delivered.
After Perez gave up Viciedo's homer, he yielded a one-out single to Jordan Danks and then hit Tyler Flowers in the left hand with a pitch. Flowers glared out at Perez and both benches were warned. After Perez retired the side, he and Flowers met at the side of the mound.
Chicago scored in the sixth off Indians starter Justin Masterson. Dewayne Wise hit a one-out double and scored on Orlando Hudson's line single.
Masterson struck out five over six innings in his final start, failing to break his personal three-game losing streak. The right-hander allowed one run, one walk and four hits and finished with an 11-15 record and career-high 206 1-3 innings pitched.
Interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr. said before the game that Masterson has the stuff to be a big winner, but remains too inconsistent. Alomar said that when Masterson gets downward sink on his pitches rather than side-to-side movement, he can be one of the most devastating pitchers in the game. He would like to see Masterson work off his four-seam fastball a little more next season.
NOTES: Fans chanted "San-dy, San-dy," when Alomar argued a close call at first base. Before the game, Perez said while he respects Manny Acta, he had a problem with the fired manager not confronting umpires. ... Chicago 1B Adam Dunn struck out twice and has fanned 222 times, two shy of the major-league record set by Mark Reynolds with Arizona in 2009. ... Chicago 1B Paul Konerko will have surgery on his left wrist Thursday. Manager Robin Ventura said Konerko might play in the season finale on Wednesday. ... The normally quiet Brantley got quizzical looks from teammates before the game as he jogged around the Indians clubhouse carrying a football and wearing a Browns helmet autographed by WR Josh Cribbs and a signed RB Trent Richardson jersey. Nobody seemed to know why. ... Hafner is scheduled to play in Wednesday's season finale, which could be his last game in Cleveland uniform. The Indians almost assuredly will not pick up his $13 million option and give him a $2.7 buyout. "I want to play next year," said Hafner, 35, who has battled numerous injuries for five years.

Good for ages: 4 to 8
It's a project as old as summer camp. Pour Froot Loops and other hole-y cereal in bowls. Have your child first separate them by colour, then string them into necklaces and bracelets. (Do it in two steps to kill more time.) When you're done, ask for a home shopping-style demo of all the food jewelry. Fashion-wise, Cheerios go with everything, by the way.

The golf carts at The Woodlands Golf Club take players on a grassy roller-coaster ride over frequent changes in elevation and down fairways brimming with challenging lies at every turn. Play intertwines perilously with a winding creek at many points, with a scant three holes, like a cautious wicked witch, managing to avoid water altogether. All 18 holes launch players down zoysia grass fairways from one of four tees, challenging each club in the bag en route to greens that hold approaches and roll true. On the last hole, the newly refurbished clubhouse provides a scenic backdrop for the homestretch.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 72 course
Total length of 6,418 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 70.6 from the back tees
Course slope of 123 from the back tees
Four sets of tees per hole
Mixing the outdoor ruggedness of paintball with the pain-free shooting of laser tag, Mission Ready Outdoor Laser Tag drops combatants of all ages into a fun-filled, bruise-free arena. Hay bales and obstacles dot the outdoor course, offering shooters a decent vantage point from which to unload volleys of laser beams in efforts to win the field. The coursemasters can accommodate large parties for special occasions or bring all of the required gear inside for private indoor sessions that forge friendships easier than legislation mandating daily compliments.
Carved through the heavily wooded bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, Lockhaven Golf Club's 18-hole layout takes golfers into an undulating circuit of tree-lined corridors. The par 72 course spans 6,880 yards from the tips, presenting a formidable challenge as the arboreal obstacles compound the length and fast, bentgrass greens pose an equal test to short game skills. Golfers can prepare for their round at the on-site driving range and practice green.
An Olympic-sized swimming pool fosters warm-weather fun with lanes for swimming laps and a walk-in kid pool for younger swimmers. After a day of recreation, guests can unwind at the bar and grill or enjoy a gourmet meal in the formal dining room that overlooks the golf course.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 6,880 yards from the tips * Course rating of 72.0 from the tips * Sloep rating of 129 from the tips
