New York is a town defined by diversity and disparity. From East New York to the Upper East Side, everyone is here. And everyone wants to come here. Variations in retail rents reflect this rich mixture. Soho rents are so much more expensive than South Street's. Madison Avenues leases for far more than Midtown. Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is a million miles in pricing from Fifth Avenue in Park Slope. All are defined by the same dilemma of rapidly rising rents. What makes New York incredibly attractive to retailers also makes it incredibly expensive. Sticker shock is common to new entrants to the market.
Retail rents are surging, pushed by high levels of tourism coupled with a prospering local economy. Fifth Avenue, Times Square, and Madison Avenue have historically demanded the highest prices. SoHo has joined these neighborhoods as a prime shopping location for both tourists and locals. The limited supply of available space, especially in the most sought after corridors, adds to price pressure. However, a good broker can guide a client toward the goal of great location.
The REBNY Spring Report notes "Asking rents in Times Square on Broadway and 7th Avenue between 42nd and 47th streets jumped 55 percent to $2,175 psf " The Real Estate Weekly article "Luxury Retailers Jumping on Soho's Brand Wagon" of April , 2013 reports that "the famed Fifth Ave strip saw the second largest price growth rise at 15.2 percent, and still is the most expensive retail rent area in the city, with the average asking price hovering around $2,631 psf
A WWD article from May 2013 reports "asking rents for available ground-floor space on Madison Avenue between 57th and 72nd Streets increased 36 percent to $1,325, since the fall." In SoHo, according to The Business of Fashion's article, "The Shifting Winds of New York Retail, "the concentration of international fashion and luxury brands is thicker than almost anywhere else on the planet." According to the Crain's article from April 2013, "SoHo Joins the Top Tier as Retail Rents Cross $1K Mark,""SoHo is taking its place alongside Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue and Times Square as a must-have location for retailers." The article adds, "For a long time, there were brands there because it was hip and it was sexy, but they weren't necessarily making a lot of money,' said Michael Glanzberg, of Sinvin Real Estate". "Now there are a lot more shoppers who come and really spend, not just a few hundred dollars, but thousands on luxury items.'" The article continues that "rents on Broadway have soared more than 50%, to $756 per square foot" and "on Prince Street between Wooster Street and Broadway, SoHo's priciest block, rents did better, ballooning 65% to $850 per square foot on average"
With such a low supply and a high demand for space in SoHo, an article in The New York Times from December 2012 reports that "luxury clothing brands that would normally flock to Prince and Spring Streets, are facing little inventory and sky-high rents, and so are now searching out these smaller side streets." As a result "Rents on side streets such as Wooster and Mercer have doubled from about $150 per square foot to close to $300 per square foot on average"
Other neighborhoods that are experiencing changes in reputation as well as retail rents, include the West Village, Meatpacking District, Chelsea, Herald Square, Lower Fifth Avenue and the Flatiron District. WWD reported in a May, 2013 article that "Bleecker Street between Seventh Avenue South and Hudson Street rose to $540, also an 18 percent increase." Meatpacking rents escalated significantly "as the neighborhood has completed its transition from blood-soaked industrial use to a 24-hour shopping and nightlife destination," according to Real Estate Weekly's article "Pioneers Breaking Newest Ground." Due to the multitudes of tourists who walk down the High Line, rents climbed "10 percent to $356 psf."
The Post's article "$50M Makeover On Tap for Herald Center," explains that "Macy's went more upscale [and] The Gap, Forever 21, Victoria's Secret and H&M moved in nearby and prospered." The article reports properties in the heart of Herald Square between West 33rd and 34th streets are asking "$1,200 per square foot for roughly 10,000 square feet at sidewalk level" REBNY reports rents "in the Flatiron corridor along Fifth Avenue between 14th and 23rd Streets [where] asking rents also rose 37 percent to $413 psf since spring 2012", and that "the Flatiron shopping corridor along Broadway between 14th and 23rd streets saw a significant increase in asking rents with a 50-percent-increase to $322 psf since last spring." In Flatiron North, "asking rents are between $115 and $175 per square foot"
What's a retailer to do? Few but the largest can pay the price for the more glamorous locations. That's always been so. There are always alternative blocks and neighborhoods offering reasonable rents with the right traffic mix for any particular product. It's difficult to chart the course to find such a location at an affordable price, on a block with a desirable co-tenancy. Treacherous waters to navigate even for experienced local retailers. A wrong turn and you're sucked into a Bermuda Triangle vortex of high rent and low business. Who sets sail without a captain? And that's what an experienced broker should be; sailing clients s through turbulent seas, straight to the fabulous Fantasy Island of pure profit. Choose one who knows the waters and arrive quickly and safely. Bon Voyage.

Tuesday, March 05, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Mar. 5, 2002) -- East Tennessee State sophomore pitcher/shortstop Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) was named Southern Conference Softball Player of the Week for her performance in the University of Georgia Bulldog Invitational from Feb. 22-24. Vandergriff was on fire in ETSU's six games in the tournament, hitting .529 in the tournament with nine hits in 17 at bats, including two doubles and her first home run of the season. Vandergriff also knocked in three runs and stole four bases in four attempts while racking up a .824 slugging percentage and a .619 on base percentage. Her two best games of the weekend came against Southern Conference rival Appalachian State. In a 7-0 win over the Mountaineers on Feb. 23, Vandergriff went 3-4, with a home run, three runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base. In a tighter rematch on Feb. 24, the Bucs won 4-3 as Vandergriff went 3-4 again, with a run scored and a stolen base. Vandergriff scored the game-tying run for ETSU in the bottom of the seventh in the dramatic come-from-behind victory. The Bucs went 3-3 in the tournament, defeating the Mountaineers twice and Marshall once. Vandergriff leads the Bucs this season, batting .424 with two home runs, 10 RBI and seven stolen bases. East Tennessee State softball returns to action this weekend from the Western Kentucky Invitational from Bowling Green, Ky.

The ASPCA is saddened by the loss of one of Congress' most dedicated animal welfare advocates: Representative C.W. Bill Young (FL-13). As the longest serving Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Young led a career filled with compassionate actions for animals.
Rep. Young was well known for his dedication in the fight to stop the brutal practice of horse slaughter. In addition to his consistent support of authorizing legislation, like the SAFE Act, to ban horse slaughter, Rep. Young was also a staunch ally to horses on the House Appropriations Committee. In June of this year, Rep. Young cosponsored an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill for 2014 that would prevent federal dollars from being spent on horse meat inspections, language that would keep horse slaughter plants from reopening in the United States. Thanks to his leadership, the amendment was swiftly adopted into the FY 14 Agriculture Appropriations bill by the committee.
Rep. Young, a member of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, advocated for many animal welfare issues during his 42-years of service in Congress. A longtime leader on legislation to combat puppy mills, Rep. Young joined as an original cosponsor of the PUPS Act this Congress, legislation that would close loopholes in the existing law and improve conditions for dogs in commercial breeding establishments.
In addition to his leadership on these key efforts, Rep. Young supported many other animal welfare initiatives over the course of his career, including legislation to combat animal fighting, stop horse soring, and protect America's wild horses.
The ASPCA is grateful to Rep. Young for his many years of compassionate service in Congress, and remembers him for standing up in defense of our nation's animals. His memory and legacy will long be cherished.

Recipe by Miss G.
"Jalapenos are stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon, and barbecued on the grill."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese
12 slices
I made these for a party. There were so many reviews we tried them two nights earlier using all the different methods. Here's what I found made them great. After slicing the peppers and cleaning them out, drop in boiling water for 4 - 6 minutes. This will pretty much take all the heat out though so if you want a punch, leave the membranes. We taste tested several cream cheese flavors. We picked 3 fav's, they were the cream cheese mixed with a powdered ranch mix, or mixed with a chipotle seasoning, or mixed with worstershire and garlic powder. (we tried 12 different flavors to get this perfect) Also, I found that 1/2 a strip of bacon was not enough - used the whole thing! And finally after you put the pepper together with cheese and bacon and toothpick - freeze it for 15 min. Then 10 minutes on the grill is perfect. Thanks so much for the yummy appetizer!!
We have a different variation on this recipe that came from the Marlboro Cook Like A Man Cookbook. You mix an 8oz pkg of cream cheese with 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning and 2 tsp Garlic Pwdr. They are awesome like that! Just make sure that you always tuck the end of the bacon under where you already wrapped it or it will unravel on the grill.
1286 Ratings
These are a 10! After making these many times, I can tell you that you really need to make them ahead of time and put them in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will allow the cheese to firm up a bit and it won't all leak out of your peppers. I also have found that if you want them hot, leave all of the membrane inside and some seeds. If you want them barely warm(like me), get almost all of the membrane out from inside the pepper and leave no seeds. I cook them in the oven on 350 for about 45 minutes.
***A low calorie version is use fat free cream cheese and wrap each 1/2 pepper with only 1/2 slice of bacon. They are just as good and only about 60 calories each!!!
This is a great recipe - and to take some of the bite out of the peppers, I soak them in cold water after they're cut and seeded. The longer you soak them, the milder they are.
I always use Embasa brand whole pickled jalapenos; and I use half cream cheese, half shredded cheddar or 3-cheese blend. After wrapping with bacon and securing with a pick, I shake the whole lot in a ziploc bag with Parmesan cheese (the green can kind) and then bake at 400* til the bacon is done to your liking. Even my stepmother, who doesn't LIKE hot stuff, makes SURE she gets her fair share of these!
VERY tasty, and SUPER easy... but 2 warnings:
1)WEAR GLOVES. As with all peppers contact with skin can leave you burning for hours. And since I was in a hurry I did just that - 4 hour later I still felt like my hands were in a fire.
2) BACON ON GRILL = FLAMES... The fat will start on fire... so be careful with your fire! Keep and eye it.
Try adding a packet of dry Ranch Dressing mix to the cream cheese before filling the peppers. We used to cook these every Thursday night for about 40-50 people and they were gone in a matter of minutes. Still get requests for these all the time.
This was pretty good. I followed the suggestions of some other reviewers and added cajun seasoning to my cream cheese, I used half slices of bacon and I baked them. The flavor is really good but I had problems with mine drowing in grease while they baked. I might try elevating them on a rack next time. ***UPDATE*** I elevated them the next time and they were really good but extremely hot. I used some older jalapenos and they were so hot they were inedible! Buy fresh jalapenos if you can and it will lessen the chance of getting the inedible ones.

Health and Wellness
At COA the concept of Human Ecology extends beyond the classroom walls. Because we are invested in examining the complexity of relationships between humans and their environment, and because we are concerned with what it means to be sustainable, we advocate a holistic approach to health. We recognize that 'health' is not defined merely by a lack of disease, but rather is itself a complex state that takes into consideration a variety of dimensions. If we endeavor to affect positive change in the world, we are best equipped to do so when we are at our healthiest. COA advocates taking a proactive approach to health, supporting individual and community well being through a variety of resources and programs.
Wellness is an active, lifelong process of becoming aware of choices and making decisions toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Wellness combines eight dimensions of well-being into a quality way of living. Overall, wellness if the ability to live life to the fullest and to maximize potential in a variety of ways. Wellness involves continually learning and making changes to enhance your state of well-being.
Physical (Body)
A healthy body is achieved and maintained through good nutrition, regular exercise, avoiding harmful habits, making informed and responsible decisions about health and seeking medical assistance when necessary.
To remain well, physical wellness requires that you take steps to protect your health by eating a well-balanced diet, getting plenty of physical activity and exercise, maintaining proper weight, getting enough sleep, avoiding risky sexual behavior, trying to limit exposure to environmental contamination and restricting intake of harmful substances.
Intellectual (Mind)
A state in which your mind is engaged in lively interaction with the world around you.
Intellectual wellness involves unbridled curiosity and ongoing learning. This dimension of wellness implies that you can apply the things you have learned, that you create opportunities to learn more and that you engage your mind in lively interaction with the world around you.
Emotional (Feelings)
The ability to understand your own feelings, accept your limitations, achieve emotional stability and become comfortable with your emotions.
Emotional wellness implies the ability to express emotions appropriately, adjust to change, cope with stress in a healthy way and enjoy life despite its occasional disappointments and frustration.
Social (Family, Friends and Relationships)
The ability to relate well to others, both within and outside of the family unit.
Social wellness endows us with the ease and confidence to be outgoing, friendly and affectionate toward others. Social wellness involves not only a concern for the individual, but also an interest in humanity and the environment as a whole.
Occupational (Career, Skills)
Preparing and making use of your gifts, skills and talents in order to gain purpose, happiness and enrichment in your life.
Occupational wellness means successfully integrating a commitment to your occupation into a total lifestyle that is satisfying and rewarding. The development of occupational satisfaction and wellness is strongly related to your attitude about your work.
Environmental (Air, Water, Food, Safety)
The capability to live in a clean and safe environment that is not detrimental to health.
The quality of today's environment has a direct effect on personal wellness. To enjoy environmental wellness, we require clean air, pure water, quality food, adequate shelter, satisfactory work conditions, personal safety and healthy relationships.
Spiritual (Values, Purpose, Intuition, Vitality)
The sense that life is meaningful and has a purpose; the ethics, values and morals that guide us and give meaning and direction to life.
Spiritual wellness is a search for meaning and purpose in human existence leading one to strive for a state of harmony with others while working to balance inner needs with the rest of the world.
Financial (Current, Future)
The ability to make informed choices about finances and consumption commensurate with a socially responsible quality of life, including awareness of the relationship of personal economics to the whole of one's life.
Financial wellness includes successful managing of personal finances (debt, credit, insurance), with an understanding of ethical investment and long-range planning.

The Virginia High School League's decision in September to alter its classification structure will provide plenty of benefits down the line.
Placing emphasis on current enrollment figures in the process of expanding from three groups (A, AA, AAA) to six divisions (1A thru 6A) invites more equality at the playoff level, as teams no longer will have to worry about competing for state titles against schools with significantly larger student bodies. Most sports will follow the football model by crowning six state champions every year, and we all know that more trophies means more smiling faces at season's end.
The problem with the impending changes has nothing to do with the good intentions behind them. After all, fairness of competition is the very purpose of classification in the first place. The issue polarizing athletic directors across the commonwealth is the fact that the VHSL Executive Committee has given them precious little time to implement the new structure; moreover, the committee has offered even less direction for just how to go about setting up the new structure in the first place.
The committee voted 23-3 on Sept. 19 in favor of instituting the re-organization by the time the 2013-14 school year rolls around. In other words, school officials have been tasked with overhauling the three-tiered structure — a 42-year-old setup that currently includes 315 schools — in less than a year's time. What's more, they've been given few answers to questions concerning the multitude of logistical issues that accompany such sweeping change, a stiff arm that has heads spinning in nearly every corner of the state.
Such hasty policy-making was enabled by the VHSL's decision to present its proposal as emergency legislation, which sped up the voting process to more efficiently bring about a final verdict. With several schools calling for immediate change in recent years, the VHSL decided to bypass the drawn-out process of standard legislation in favor of getting everything done by the time the next school year arrives.
Even with myriad concerns coming from several committee members, leaders of September's meeting spent less than five minutes discussing the technical issues that come with a change of infrastructure. All of Northern Region committee representative David Tremaine's questions — including matters ranging from travel and equipment costs to calendar concerns and general district questions — were ignored.
Going after an end goal without considering the steps needed to achieve that goal doesn't make much sense. Imagine a general contractor approving an architect's design to re-construct a shopping center without first considering a budget estimate or the costs of materials, equipment and labor. Better to leave those trivialities for the subcontractors to decide, since they're the ones doing all the work, right?
Or, if you're still riding the spirit of election season, imagine a president deciding to revamp the country's tax code without first considering the ramifications such a sweeping change would entail.
With so little time given to execute so many technical issues, it's no wonder the vast majority of schools from the Northern, Central and Eastern Regions are opposed to the changes ushered by September's emergency legislation. Reclassification is geared primarily toward helping schools from Groups A, AA and the lower rungs of AAA, where teams drawing from small student bodies often struggle against bigger schools at the playoff level. Representatives of big schools from the Northern Region support the notion of a more level playing field, but why would they want to needlessly rush a major overhaul that puts their own concerns on the back-burner?
"I'm not frustrated with the overall proposal or what it is," said Bill Curran, director of Student Activities and Athletics for Fairfax County Public Schools. "What I am very frustrated with is the process they used. The process was intended to shut out the Triple A, the Northern Region and the Eastern Region."
A coalition of Group AAA schools put forth a motion to rescind the executive committee's emergency legislation last month, but the attempt failed in a 189-111 vote that supported the legislation.
According to VHSL Executive Director Ken Tilley, much progress already has been made in the form of meeting dates and sites, committee assignments, policy changes and financial matters. Tilley admits that plenty of work lies ahead, but he remains confident that everything is on track for next year's changes to go into effect.
"A strong majority of the schools felt that we could determine what needs to be determined in the time that we have, and that there was no reason to delay this anymore," Tilley said.
In a phone interview with the Fairfax Times, Tilley went on to cite a particular Group A regional football playoff format as a sign of a smooth transition ahead, saying that area's successful use of a new format is a harbinger of good things to come at the playoff level across the board next year. That may be so, but Tilley's failure to mention the complicated logistical changes needed to lay the foundation for such a playoff system across the state shows his desire to put the cart before the horse.
If all goes according to plan, Northern Region schools like Jefferson, Lee and Marshall will enjoy the competitive benefits of moving down to a conference of like-sized schools. Bigger area schools, meanwhile, won't be bothered by the fact that they still can compete against district rivals during the regular season. But why not take an extra year to sort out the legitimate technical concerns expressed by athletic directors across the state?
Tilley calls this fall's legislation the most important made by the VHSL since 1970. With so much work ahead, overwhelmed athletic directors have stopped to wonder why they're in such a hurry.

That is the cutest thing ever!!! What an adorable dog.ReplyDelete
@Anon - we got Jerome from a reputable breeder a few hours outside Chicago (the breeder required us meeting her before considering letting get him, which is awesome); while I 100% support adopting (my sister adopted her dog from a rescue), english bulldogs are difficult to rescue in Chicago as CEBR (as it's called) generally requires prior english bulldog experience as a pre-req (they are a high maintenance breed). Once I learn more about this breed (from raising Jerome) I would love to rescue/save one from CEBR! :)ReplyDelete
CUTEST puppy ever! Just want to squeeze him!!
Oh goodness! Congrats on your new addition! That is just the cutest little face ever!ReplyDelete

Oh my gosh! That is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. I want him! I think I speak for everyone else when I say that we will gladly accept seeing more pics of your baby on your blog.

I was conflicted on this statement, one part of me thinks this seals my possibilities now, so I refuse it but then another part thinks there is truth to the statement looking at my past. As a Nigerian kid, I gave up a childhood dream of building space shuttles simply because I was presented a career option that guaranteed me "life success", by someone who new nothing about my dream. Two decades later I can say I was a product of that choice.
And as Jason Prager said, "Who was I? Was I who I had been ... before this road divided my life like the spine of an open book? Were all of us the results of things done [or said] to us ... our bodies, their endowments and deficits? It seems that we could be nothing more than genes and experiences," who and what.

May 3 2013: I very clearly remember my defining childhood experience/ First grade they allowed us to visit the school library. I returned home with 6 books on science, which I placed on a shelf in the hall, just like in the library! They were the only books in our house at that time and everyone wondered at my fascination with them. It was at that moment that I knew that I wanted to be a scientist/engineer and I've never wavered from that path in the succeeding 50 years!

May 3 2013: Thanks Roger, I'm an engineer also for 11 years

Apr 10 2013: I used to sit on the front porch, as a kid, & listen to my great uncle talk when he came to visit. He only showed up about once every 3-4 yrs. or so, but his wealth of knowledge, on just about every subject, was vast cause he made it a point to learn from various sources.
- +2
He was the spark, in coming years, to learn and keep on learning. It has broaden my mind in so many ways and been a great help to me in my later years.
I had many dreams and still do, and yes I am a true dreamer.
Apr 12 2013: Thanks for your generosity in sharing.Apr 12 2013: Adebo,
EVERYTHING from my life experiences contributed to who and what I am now......everything.....every single moment.....in my humble perception:>)
Nothing "seals" our possibilities unless we choose to believe that concept. You say yourself...."I can say I was a product of that choice"......it was a choice, which contributed to your life experience.....correct?
For me, it is important to realize HOW I use the information. For example: At age 30, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in the spine, which is generally a progressively degenerating dis-ease. It is not unusual in older folks, as a part of the aging process. However, I was only 30, and I was told that it is generally, progressively disabling. After taking pain meds, traction, neck brace, etc. none of which relieved the pain, medical professionals suggested fusing part of the spine, which WOULD cause imobilization.
I researched many holistic practices, and decided to strengthen the muscular system to support the degenerating spine. After 10 years, I was the strongest I had ever been in my life, both emotionally and physically. Then I bashed my head in....near fatal head/brain injury caused by a horseback riding accident....OH CRAP....here we go again!
I learned, with the DDD, how to strengthen and rebuild the body/mind and all the connections. So, when I was told I was going to be disabled and would never function "normally" again because of the head injury, in the back of my mind (such as it was), I believed that I could rebuild AGAIN.
I totally agree with you.....we are a product of the choices we make, and the important part is HOW we use the information. NOTHING "seals" our possibilities, unless that is the belief we choose to embrace......make any sense?
Apr 13 2013: Thanks Colleen for sharing generously yourself. I love it!Apr 10 2013: Alfred Lord Tennyson tells us that " I am part of all that i have seen and done" in Ulysses.
Apr 12 2013: Hence I am this global society, this world! Sounds like, I am a product rather a being?
(Thanks for your comment.)Apr 19 2013: I can say I am a product of my childhood, even as a kid I was building things, tree forts, sk8board ramps ( thank you construction sites ), taking apart every device I had ( Sorry Alphie and speak and spell ( every other toy I had ) And even today I find myself going, what's it look like without all this junk making it look supposedly pretty. I went into the Air force after High school, and even in there I ended up studying Aircraft Engineering and learning and taking apart Fighter Jets.
I am now currently working in engineering still, using both what I learned as a child and in the Air force to have even more destructive learning curves. It's who I am and nothing I do will ever make me stop looking at things like this, just can't help wondering how things function and what is needed to make them do what they do.
It's this very aspect of who we are that needs to be encouraged inside every human being on this planet, our world and humanity will benefit from such actions.
Apr 20 2013: Thanks man! would you say who you are is "figure it out"?
Apr 20 2013: I'd say who am I as a personality and mindset ( equipped with goals and aspirations ) Yes, that is figured out, how to take myself and manifest those ideas with current resources is another story. *grins*
But yes who I am is figured out and a direct reflection of my childhood.Apr 14 2013: really interestingApr 13 2013: Okay, maybe I was a little onesided. You are both a product and a being, but there is a great deal of programming.Apr 12 2013: Adebo,
I just thought of this......have you ever seen Nicholas Vujicic?
Speaking of childhood experiences....what may "seal" our possibilites....or not.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4HGQHgeFEApr 12 2013: Similarly Sigmund Freud believed that are behaviour the the things we do are a result of our childhood experiences, though he looked at it in a slightly more controversial manor.
I think that to some extent, yes - our experiences whilst we are growing up do influence our futures and help develop us into who we are. However I think it depends on what we consider apart of who we are and how we look at ourselves and how we got to the place we are currently at in our lives.
I suppose a way to look at this question is with examples; as a child you may have had a pet who you loved and cherished dearly, the 20 years later, still possessing your love for your old pet, you become a vet. Would you have become a vet anyway because other paths would have lead you to the realisation that it was what you wanted to do?
it is a thought provoking and tough question to answer though I shall be watching this space as I'm interested in hearing what peoples views on this are. I'm sure some very good answers will be posted over the next several days!
Apr 12 2013: Interesting :) Thanks for your inputs. Are you the child with the pet?Apr 10 2013: I would not be surprised if just a few people would provide an answer to this and be sure of it.
So many things go into the making of a human being. Even though childhood years speaks of a foundation; but on it a whole lot is built by choices, circumstances and opportunities. Our experiences are unique within the context of humanity; hence the saying "We are one, but not the same".
We are what we are; and we are who we are. Who we say we are; and who people say we are, may be different from who and what we really are.

With 10 Emmy Awards and 18 Nominations, the Sacramento Kings Broadcast Team has elevated its television production to one of the highest levels in all of professional sports. For the 2013-14 season, the Kings Broadcast Team will produce 11 regular season games on News10 and 70 contests on Comcast SportsNet California. Sacramento also appears once on ESPN for a nationally-televised matchup with Detroit on Nov. 15 from Sleep Train Arena. The Kings commitment to providing the best TV experience continues with all telecasts produced in High Definition (HD).
Local ABC affiliate News10 will carry 11 Kings over-the-air telecasts during the 2013-14 regular season, returning for a third time after partnering with the Kings in 2006-07 and 2012-13.
COMCAST SPORTSNET: Kings Cable Flagship
Comcast SportsNet California enters its 10th consecutive season with the Kings, hosting 70 of the team's 82 games during the 2013-14 regular season. Mainstays Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds will return to Kings TV as play-by-play and color analyst, respectively, while Kayte Christensen will assume sideline reporting duties.
KHTK Sports 1140: Kings Radio Flagship
The region's 50,000-watt flagship radio station, KHTK, will once again broadcast all 89 Kings games in 2013-14. The "G-Man", Gary Gerould, enters his 29th year (over 2,000 games) as the voice of the Kings.
The "Kings Live" pregame show, packed full of interviews and features, rolls through your radio 30 minutes prior to tip. The "Kings Live" postgame show, powered by KHTK Sports calls and locker room reaction, takes you home for 30 minutes after the game. Jason Ross hosts the show.
In addition to producing all of the team's radio and television network broadcasts, the Kings also manage all advertising and sponsorship sales for their broadcasts.
Radio Play-By-Play
Entering his 29th season with the Kings and having called more than 2,000 Kings games, Gary Gerould has been the "Voice of the Kings" since the team's arrival in Sacramento (1985) as radio play-by-play announcer on the club's flagship station KHTK (1140 AM). Gerould is widely considered one of the best play-by-play announcers in all of sports broadcasting. His 2,000th Kings broadcast came on Dec. 8, 2010, versus Washington. He is among the top five in longevity among NBA broadcasters.
Gerould's workload is a direct testimony of his talent and work ethic. In addition to his basketball duties with the Kings, he currently works the $50 million NHRA drag racing tour for ESPN Television. This follows 25 years of covering the Indy car circuit as a pit reporter for world-wide events, including the Indy 500. He has been a part of more than 1,700 nationally televised events, with the 1,500th coming at the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.
Gerould was a member of the Turner Broadcast Network telecast of the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle. Prior to joining ABC, Gerould spent 11 years at NBC and was a member of the network's coverage team at the XXIV Olympic Games in Seoul. He also served as a regular NFL play-by-play announcer in addition to his motor sports duties.
Gerould's broadcasting career dates back to his high school days in Midland, Mich., as a play-by-play announcer for the local radio station. In 2000, he was inducted into the Midland Hall of Fame. A speech and physical education graduate of Anderson (Indiana) University, Gerould headed west to Chico, Calif., in 1963 where he became the news and sports director at KHSL Radio.
In 1965, he moved to Sacramento and joined the sports department at KCRA-TV, where he worked for 12 years. During that span he also was the play-by-play announcer for Sacramento State football and basketball. In 1977, he formed Gary Gerould Enterprises and since then has freelanced as a public relations consultant, commercial spokesman, and motor sports writer and broadcaster.
He and his wife, Marlene, have a daughter, Beth, and a son, Bob, who also enjoys a career in professional sports broadcasting.
Television Play-By-Play
Grant Napear enters his 26th season announcing for the Kings, serving as the television play-by-play announcer for the Kings Broadcast Network. The 54-year-old Syosset, New York native has called Kings action as the team's play-by-play announcer from 1988-89 through 1993-94 and 1998-1999 to present, in addition to three campaigns (1995-96 - 1997-98) as the Kings' radio play-by-play announcer on KHTK (1140 AM).
He is the current daily host for the top-rated afternoon sports talk show in the Sacramento area on KHTK.
Prior to joining the Kings Broadcast Network talent team on a full-time basis, Napear served as the sports director at the then-Kings' flagship television station, Channel 31, for nine years (1987-95). Napear's play-by-play experience includes working with ESPN Radio, the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks, the Sacramento Gold Miners (1992-94), a former member of the Canadian Football League, and most recently with the San Jose Sabercats of the Arena Football League. Napear was the television voice for the Oakland Raiders from 2003-07. He is currently a fill-in host for the nationally syndicated radio Jim Rome Show.
Napear began his professional career as a weekend sports anchor at WAND-TV in Decatur, Illinois. He spent his collegiate years (1977-81) as the play-by-play announcer for the football, basketball and hockey teams at his alma mater, Bowling Green University, while pursuing his degree in broadcast journalism. Napear hosts an annual golf tournament to benefit the Future Foundation which enables underprivlidged students to attend college. Napear resides in El Dorado Hills with wife Starr and two sons, Trent (17) and Chase (15).
Television Color Analyst
Jerry Reynolds returns as a color analyst for all the club's televised contests for the Kings Broadcast Network. The 2013-14 season marks his 29th with the franchise, a tenure distinguished by a multitude of roles. In addition to serving as the Kings head coach for nearly four seasons (1987-90) and Kings director of player personnel from 1994-2013, Reynolds also acted as Sacramento Monarchs General Manager for six campaigns (1998-2003), leading the club to the league playoffs four times.
Reynolds was also a member of the USA Basketball Women's Senior National Team Committee for the 2001-04 quadrennium, where he helped select the coaching staff and players of the Olympic gold medal-winning USA Senior National Teams.
A native of French Lick, Indiana (where he is often referred to as the second most popular local, first being NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird), Reynolds has a unique understanding of the interaction among players, coaches and the front office due in part to his experience gained through his varied roles with the Kings organization. He originally joined the club in 1985 as an assistant coach responsible for advance pro and college scouting.
On two occasions Reynolds served as the Kings' head coach following midseason changes. In 1987, he was named, on an interim basis, to replace former Head Coach Phil Johnson. The following year he took over for Bill Russell with 24 games remaining and stayed on as the club's head coach for the next two seasons. All told, Reynolds served as head coach of the Kings for a portion of four seasons (1987-1990). He also served as the director of player personnel for two seasons (1990-92) before accepting the role as the club's general manager (5/92-12/93). As the club's director of player personnel, he was responsible for keeping abreast of both the professional and collegiate talent pools available to the Kings, while also helping to oversee the club's scouting efforts.
An extremely popular figure with both the Sacramento community and the national media, Reynolds is an often-requested favorite on the public speaking circuit. A graduate of Oakland City University (Indiana) in 1966, he received his master's degree in physical education from Indiana State University in 1970.
Reynolds and his wife, Dodie, reside in Roseville and have a daughter, Danielle, a graduate of Santa Monica College and son, Jay, a 1992 graduate of Sacramento State University.
Radio Pre/Postgame/Halftime Host
Having served in a variety of capacities since 1994, Jason Ross returns for another season as a member of the Sacramento Kings Broadcast Team. Ross has worked as a pregame, halftime and postgame host for both the Sacramento Kings and Monarchs. Other duties include hosting Kings Talk, which is the weekly Kings radio talk show. Ross also serves as gameday statistician and serves as the radio backup play-by-play voice of the Kings.
Ross, currently serves as the sports director for CBS Sports 1140 the flagship of the Sacramento Kings. He is the play-by-play voice of Sacramento State Hornet football and has held that position since 1997. He was also the play-by-play announcer for the San Francisco Demons during the only season of the XFL. He is the pre-game and post-game host for the Oakland Raiders since the 2010 season.
A native of Southern California, Ross graduated from UC Davis in 1994 with a degree in rhetoric and communications. He resides in Sacramento with his wife, Alva, and their 11-year-old son, Jackson.
Television Sideline Reporter
Kayte Christensen returns to the Kings Broadcast Network as the TV sideline reporter, after serving in a similar capacity from 2007-10.
During her previous Sacramento tenure, Christensen's duties included serving as a basketball analyst on the team's pre-, half- and postgame TV show, "House Party Live," and contributing to Kings Radio's weekly show, "Kings Talk."
The former WNBA fan favorite's broadcast experience also includes work as a women's basketball color analyst for ESPN and ESPNU (2009-11), social media correspondent for the Phoenix Suns (2011-12) and social media engagement producer for AZ Central Sports (2012-13).
The California native earned Big West Conference Player of the Year and All-Big West First Team honors in 2001-02 en route to being selected in the third round (40th overall) of the 2002 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury. Christensen holds career averages of 3.2 points (.464 FG%, .608 FT%), 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 143 contests (27 starts) during her six-year playing career with three teams (Mercury, Houston Comets and Chicago Sky). She's a two-time recipient of the WNBA Offseason Community Assist Award, securing the accolade in 2003 and 2004.

Botulinum toxin is made from a type of bacteria. It is toxic to the nerves. Another name for it is bacterial neurotoxin. An injection puts this toxin into muscle. There, it blocks the chemical signal from the nerves to the muscles. This will decrease the muscle contraction (tightening).
There are several types and brands of this toxin. Examples include Botox, Dysport, and Reloxin, which are formulations of botulinum toxin type A. Myobloc is another brand, but it is a formulation of botulinum toxin type B. These products are used for cosmetic and medical reasons.
This injection process is often called botox injection , although any brand of the botulinum toxin may be used.
Reasons for Procedure
This is most commonly used as a treatment to smooth wrinkles on the face and neck. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines between the brows and the treatment of wrinkles at the outer corner of the eyes (crow's feet).
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. When they occur, they are temporary and mild. Side effects are related to the site of injection. For example, if injections take place near the eyes, there may be complications with eyelids or the brow line.
Temporary issues may include:
- Redness
- Bruising
- Stinging around the injection sites
The following are less common reactions. They are generally mild and do not last long.
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Flu -like symptoms
- Headache
Other complications that may occur include:
- Excessive weakness of the muscle around the eyes—can cause drooping of the eyelids or obstruction of vision
- Difficulty swallowing—can occur in patients receiving injections in their neck
FDA Public Health Advisory for Botulinum Toxin
There is a risk that the botulinum toxin could spread beyond the injection area. This can cause botulism symptoms, including difficulty breathing and death. These symptoms appear to be more common in children with cerebral palsy who receive the injection to treat spasticity. The warning is for Botox , Botox Cosmetic, Myobloc , and Dysport. For more information, please visit: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm175013.htm .
This procedure may worsen nerve or muscle disorders, such as:
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Myasthenia gravis
The toxin can also interact with medications, such as antibiotics. Tell your doctor about all of the medications that you are taking.
You should not have botox if you:
- Have an infection or inflammation in the area where botox will be injected
- Are sensitive to the ingredients in botox
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
What to Expect
Most often, none is given. Some patients may prefer to have the area numbed for comfort. In this case, a topical anesthetic may be used.
Description of the Procedure
A thin needle will be used. The toxin will be injected through the skin into the targeted muscle. You will often need several injections in a small area.
After Procedure
There is little recovery needed, but remember to:
- Remain upright for several hours
- Avoid alcohol
How Long Will It Take?
The length will depend on the number of sites involved. It is often less than 20 minutes.
Will It Hurt?
You may have some minimal discomfort.
Post-procedure Care
Normal activities may be resumed after the procedure.
The toxin temporarily weakens targeted muscles. The treatment lasts up to four months. With repeated use, the effects may last longer.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty speaking
- Severe lower eyelid droop or obstructed vision
- Excessive weakness around the injection site
- Rash or any other sign of an allergic reaction
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Interpretive Handbook
9180 :
Hemoglobin S, Screen, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Homozygous hemoglobin S (sickle cell disease) is a serious chronic hemolytic anemia most commonly found in those of African or Middle Eastern descent.
Hemoglobin S is freely soluble when fully oxygenated; when oxygen is removed, polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin occurs, forming tactoids that are rigid and deformed cells. This leads to sickling of the cells, hemolysis, and many other complications.
Heterozygous hemoglobin S (sickle cell trait) is the most common hemoglobinopathy in the United States. This condition is present in about 8% of African Americans. Usually, hemoglobin S trait exhibits no clinical or hematological effects. A small fraction of people with sickle cell trait have recurrent hematuria.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Screening for hemoglobin S (sickle cell trait)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result should be followed by hemoglobin electrophoresis to confirm the presence and concentration of hemoglobin S.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A positive test is presumptive evidence for hemoglobin (Hb) S. However, rare sickling hemoglobins such as Hb C-Harlem (C-Georgetown) and Hb I will also produce a positive result.
This test only detects the presence of Hb S. It cannot differentiate sickle cell trait (heterozygous Hb S) from sickle cell disease (homozygous Hb S), or Hb S in combination with other abnormalities (eg, S/C, S/D, S/G, S/E, S/beta-thalassemia, S/O-Arab, S/New York, and C-Georgetown trait).
The use of packed RBCs instead of whole blood significantly reduces false negatives due to anemia and false positives due to hypergammaglobulinemia (eg, multiple myeloma).
False positives can occur due to large numbers of nucleated RBCs.
False negatives can occur due to an insufficient quantity of Hb S due to age (neonates) or transfusion. Hb S concentrations 15% to 20% or less may give a negative result.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Precautions: The procedure does not distinguish hemoglobin S trait from homozygous sickle cell disease nor any of the following combinations: S/C, S/D, S/G, S/E, S/thalassemia, S/O-Arab, S/New York and C-Georgetown trait (Hb C-Harlem).

Caroline Kole
Caroline Kole is not your average teenager. Her normal week may consist of school on Monday, a writing appointment on Tuesday, recording in a studio Wednesday and then opening shows for artists like Reba, Blake Shelton, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride and Charlie Daniels on Friday. At just 16 years old, Caroline knows her passion lies in becoming a Country music artist.
Caroline was born in Houston, TX and grew up in Tampa, FL singing along to The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack and the Dixie Chicks while riding in her car seat. After many failed attempts at sports, she received her first guitar at 8 years old from her parents. Caroline took to it immediately and with green crayon in hand wrote her first song, "Questions," about a boy at school. Songwriting eventually led Caroline to visit Nashville, where through a friend she was connected to Narvel Blackstock, Reba McEntire's husband and manager. Narvel heard Caroline's song "Old Enough To Love" and immediately wanted to meet her. They have been working together ever since.
In 2011, Caroline moved to Nashville after being offered a publishing and artist development deal with Sony/ATV. She most recently released her debut single, "Money To Me," on Starstruck Records and can currently be found on the road opening for Reba. Caroline also has an endorsement deal with Martin Guitars.
When Caroline isn't performing or writing, she can be found out hanging out with her family and friends, shopping online, playing with her cat Rikki or reading.

About as popular a household automotive name as you'll find, the Ford Mustang is the longest surviving of the affordable breed of classic American muscle cars. Sold always in coupe and most times in convertible and 2+2 fastback forms as well since its mid-1964 introduction, the Ford Mustang is the only one of the original pony cars to enjoy an uninterrupted production run. It hasn't been easy either, as oil crises, tightening emissions standards and corporate budget cuts have put the Mustang's future in doubt on more than one occasion. Ultimately, though, its iconic status within the Ford lineup and popularity with consumers have seen it through.
Of course, any car enthusiast worth his 10W-40 would love to have a classic Mustang in his garage. But even more recent vintages have plenty of appeal, while the latest Mustangs offer all the style and performance any car buff could want. The current-generation Ford Mustang in particular is easily the best ever from the standpoints of performance, refinement, features and day-to-day livability.
Current Ford Mustang
Introduced for 2015, the completely redesigned Ford Mustang marks the model's 50th anniversary. Technically, that would have been 2014.5, given the car's 1964.5 debut, but we can forgive Ford for rounding up and choosing to celebrate with an all-new Mustang. In addition to the expected V6 and V8 engines there is now an available turbocharged inline-4 that promises strong performance and fuel economy. Base and GT trim levels comprise the initial lineup. Ford plans a limited 50th-anniversary edition, based on a loaded GT and available in only two heritage colors ? Wimbledon White or Kona Blue. Fittingly, only 1,964 examples of the latter will be built.
The base car's volume-selling 3.7-liter V6 should make 300 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, while Ford promises that the GT's 5.0-liter V8 will make more than the outgoing V8's 420 hp and 390 lb-ft. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will generate more than 305 hp and more than 300 lb-ft of torque. As of this writing, exact outputs of the engines were not yet available. All engines will be available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic (with paddle shifters). This year also brings an independent rear suspension, which promises better handling and ride characteristics than the old solid axle rear suspension, particularly on broken pavement encountered while cornering.
With its tri-bar taillights, fastback shape and sharklike nose, the styling embodies classic Mustang design cues without looking dated. Inside there are improved materials, more elbow room and a smaller steering wheel that tilts and -- finally -- telescopes. Despite the dramatic changes under the skin, the wheelbase and overall length are essentially unchanged from the outgoing car. The newest Mustang is about 1.5 inches lower and 1.5 inches wider, however, and the rear track grew by 3 inches. Curb weight is about the same as the previous-generation car.
Newly available features include keyless ignition and entry, the MyFord Touch touchscreen infotainment interface and a blind spot warning system. Both EcoBoost and GT versions offer an available Performance Pack that features larger brakes, shorter final gearing and high-performance summer tires.
We have yet to get full official information and seat time in the latest Ford Mustang, but will update this review as soon as we do.
Used Ford Mustang Models
The 10th-generation Mustang was produced from 2010 through 2014. Although still heavily related to the previous generation, this version had more modern styling, a higher-quality cabin, improved handling, standard stability control and new features such as Sync, an available glass roof and a rearview camera. There was a choice of V6 or V8 power and four corresponding trim levels: V6, V6 Premium, GT and GT Premium. A Boss 302 and limited-edition Boss 302 Laguna Seca were also offered within this run.
Initially, the powertrains were essentially carried over. As such, the 4.0-liter V6 made just 210 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, while the GT's 4.6-liter V8 produced 315 hp and 325 lb-ft. Either could be matched to a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Model year 2011, however, brought substantially more muscle under the hood and we would stick with used Mustangs from this year or later. The 3.7-liter V6 produced 305 hp and 280 lb-ft, and the new 5.0-liter V8 was good for 412 hp and 390 lb-ft. Either way, one could choose between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission. For 2013, the GT's V8 got a slight boost to 420 hp, with torque remaining at 390 lb-ft.
Standard feature highlights for the base V6 included 17-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning and a sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack. The V6 Premium added leather upholstery, a power driver seat, Ford's Sync system and upgraded audio. The base GT was similar to the base V6 but with a V8 engine, 18-inch alloys, automatic headlights and a rear spoiler. The GT Premium echoed the V6 Premium's upgrades. Option highlights included suspension and brake upgrades, xenon headlights, a premium sound system and a navigation system.
In addition to the aforementioned powertrains, 2011 also brought larger brakes, revised suspension tuning and, for the GT convertible, a stiffer structure. The following year, the ultra-high-performance Boss 302 coupe debuted, packing a 5.0-liter V8 with 444 hp and 380 lb-ft. It also had 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, adjustable shock absorbers, a suede-wrapped steering wheel and retro-themed body stripes. There was also the limited-edition Boss 302 Laguna Seca (named after the famous American racetrack) with track-ready upgrades such as race-compound tires, a stiffer suspension and a rear seat delete.
For 2013, this Mustang received another, less significant makeover, with a Shelby-inspired grille, restyled front and rear fascias and updated taillights. That year also brought available Recaro sport seats, 8 more horses for the GT, hill-start assist (for cars with manual transmissions) and manual shift control for automatics. There were no changes for 2014 other than dropping the Boss 302 from the lineup.
In reviews, we noted that the 2011 and later V6 versions offered very spirited performance and entertaining handling. The V8 models, especially 2011 and later, provide thrilling acceleration that could give considerably more expensive sports machines a run for the money. But although better than the previous generation, the Mustang's interior still wasn't anything special given its abundance of hard plastic trim. There's also no telescoping steering wheel, which could make finding a comfortable seating position a bit tricky for some drivers. But with its variety of trim levels, choice of coupe and convertible body styles and plentiful punch under the hood, this Mustang has something for everyone. In general, any 10th-generation Mustang would make a fine choice for a used muscle car, though we'd advise going with a 2011 or newer model in light of the aforementioned updates.
Completely redesigned for 2005 and running through 2009, the ninth-generation Mustang moved to an all-new chassis after a 25-year run on the late-'70s-era Fox-body platform. Ford's pony car still used rear-wheel drive and a fairly basic solid-axle rear suspension, but ride quality and handling were more precisely controlled than on any previous Mustang. The car's styling paid homage to the famed Mustangs of the 1960s. Many materials were low in quality, however, as Ford sought to keep the price tag low as well. This version debuted with either a 4.0-liter V6 or a 4.6-liter V8. The underwhelming V6 produced 210 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque. It was coupled to a standard five-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission. The V8 produced 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque.
Key updates included the availability of an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio and a navigation system for 2007. The following year marked the introduction of the Mustang Bullitt, which added firmer suspension calibrations, high-performance brake pads, 18-inch wheels, mild styling tweaks and Highland Green or black paint. Its V8 produced 315 hp. Other changes for '08 included standard side airbags, while in 2009 the Mustang gained a glass roof option and standard satellite radio, among other items.
Previously, there were eight previous generations of the Ford Mustang, and given the car's sustained popularity over the years, older models are relatively easy to find on the used market. The eighth generation was sold from 1999-2004. This is the best of the Fox-body-based Mustangs, and like the current car, it offers a good blend of performance, fun and affordability. Downsides include rather crude handling characteristics (a consequence of the aged platform) and a cheap interior with an awkward driving position.
If you're shopping for an eighth-gen Mustang, our pick would be a GT from any year, as it offered a healthy 260-hp V8. If you're seeking something faster and rarer, consider the limited-edition Mach 1 (305-hp V8) or supercharged SVT Cobra (390-hp V8), which were sold in 2003 and 2004. The Cobra is the only Ford Mustang ever fitted with an independent rear suspension; it was also sold in '99 and 2000 but wasn't supercharged. Even rarer is the 2000 Cobra R, a race-ready, 385-hp Mustang coupe stripped of its rear seats and air-conditioning.
Going even further back are the seventh-generation Mustang coupes and convertibles, sold from 1994-'98. This car is very similar mechanically to the eighth-gen Mustang; the main difference is exterior styling. If you're thinking of buying one, 1996-'98 GT and SVT Cobra models might be preferable, as the '96 model year brought a new 4.6-liter, SOHC V8 that was much smoother than the outgoing 5.0-liter V8. Although horsepower held steady in the GT, the Cobra jumped from 240 to 305. The most collectible Mustang of this period is the '95 Cobra R, a 300-hp coupe without a backseat.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Mike Minor was outstanding on the mound and had a pretty good day inside the batter's box, too.
The lefty spun 7 1/3 innings of three-hit ball and belted his first career home run among his two hits, as the Atlanta Braves shut out the New York Mets, 6-0, in the middle test of a three-game set from Citi Field.
Minor (6-2) recorded his third straight victory in style, hitting double digits in strikeouts while adding a two-run homer to begin a five-run fifth inning.
He struck out 10 batters, just his second time reaching double digits and first since his rookie season.
After finishing off Friday's rain-suspended contest earlier Saturday with a 7-5 win in 10 innings, the Braves pounded Dillon Gee (2-6) for five runs during the game-breaking fifth en route to the club's eighth straight win.
Atlanta scored all six of its runs with two out. Freddie Freeman collected a pair of RBI singles, Justin Upton had two hits and knocked in a run, while Jason Heyward scored twice and had an RBI in the victory.
New York, shut out for the second time during the week, received half of its six hits from Ruben Tejada. The Mets lost to the Reds, 4-0, on Tuesday and have dropped five straight and six of their last seven contests.
Minor struck out five over the first four innings and then helped his own cause by plating the Braves' first runs with his shot over the left-field wall.
"I knew it was gone I guess, just wanted it to stay fair. That was the first ball I hit all year that was barreled-up. It was all a blur really," Minor said.
The blast sparked Atlanta's offense, which only had two hits through the first four innings, and it went on to produce three more runs in the fifth. Gee surrendered six straight hits, all with two out.
Andrelton Simmons doubled and scored on a single from Heyward, Upton laced an RBI double into left and Freeman capped the inning with a run scoring-base hit into right to provide the Braves with a 5-0 lead.
Minor made the lead stand from there, retiring 10 of the last 13 batters he faced. He walked two and hit one batter in the outing.
Freeman extended the margin to six in the seventh with a grounder up the middle to plate Heyward, who drew a two-out walk and moved up on a Justin Upton dribbler.
New York put two runners on in the ninth, but pinch-hitter Ike Davis struck out -- the 15th time he's done so in the last 10 games -- and Jordany Valdespin grounded out to end the game.
"Every day I go in there trying to do something. You have different plans. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. You just really have to find what works and keep working on it," Davis said of his hitting woes.
David Carpenter pitched the last 1 2/3 innings for the Braves. He allowed
three hits and struck out two ... New York's David Wright struck out three
times ... Simmons had two hits for Atlanta ... The Mets were 0-for-5 with
runners in scoring position.

Sentry Natural Defense is effective, safe and natural, but, for insects it's a natural born killer! To protect themselves, certain plants have developed highly effective defense mechanisms against potentially harmful insects. That's the idea behind Sentry Natural Defense. Sentry created Sentry Natural Defense, a natural line of pet care products to protect against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
Sentry Natural Defense Flea & Tick Carpet Powder kills and repels fleas and ticks on contact, yet it's safe for use around children and pets when used as directed – even in multiple-pet households. Each easy-to-use container contains enough powder to cover up to 2,000 square feet. The powder's natural active ingredients include peppermint oil, cinnamon oil, lemon grass oil, thyme oil and eugenol.
Available in 10 oz. Each bottle contains 10 oz of product but is 32 oz by volume.
Active IngredientsPeppermint Oil 1.00%Cinnamon Oil 1.50%Lemon Grass Oil 1.50%Clove Oil 1.70%Thyme Oil 1.70%
Other Ingredients - Vanillin; Silicic Acid, Calcium Salt; Carbonic Acid, Monosodium Salt; Calcium Carbonate 92.60%
Suggested Use
To control fleas, ticks and other pests in your carpets and other fabrics. Apply powder liberally over the entire surface. Apply uniformly in and around areas where insects may be crawling, hiding or living. The amount to be applied will vary depending on the severity of the infestation. Application is in the range of 1 to 2 ounces per 100 square feet of surface area. Treat pets with a flea and tick control product prior to re-entry. Dust bedding, kennel and sleep areas regularly. Reapply every two weeks or as needed to prevent reinfestation. In order to help reduce the occurrence of fleas and ticks, this product is best if used year round. One 10 ounce canister contains enough powder to treat 3 to 5 rooms (500-1,000 square feet). When using this product at the lower rate, allow the powder to remain in place for 24 hours before vacuuming. Apply powder more heavily to areas of flooring or furniture on which pets spend most of their time. Apply to dry surfaces only. Do not wet powder. Do not apply on wet or damp carpet or upholstery.
CarpetsShake powder evenly across surface. Brush lightly with broom to force powder deep into carpet where fleas and their larvae exist. Wait at least 60 minutes before (lightly) vacuuming to remove visible surface powder. For maximum efficacy, delay vacuuming for up to 24 hours.
UpholsteryRemove loose cushions. Sprinkle along creases and into corners. Use a brush to lightly work powder into folds and creases. Vacuum to remove visible powder on surfaces. Do not use on exposed fabric without first testing on a hidden surface for effects on color (staining) or texture. If powder adheres to a spot, brush out and remove with a vacuum immediately. When emptying vacuum bag after use, wrap contents or disposable bag in several layers of newspaper and discard in trash. Treat pets with a flea and tick control product prior to re-entry.

Helpful part of flea control program
By Karen
from Louisville, KY
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Sentry Natural Defense Flea & Tick Carpet Powder:
I began using this product when we had a flea infestation. Using it in combination with shampooing, flea-combing, vacuuming, and a few months of FrontLine got rid of our problem. Since then, I've continued using it on my dogs' beds once every week or two, to kill any newly hatched fleas that may come out.My family doesn't find the smell overpowering; in fact, I love walking into the house and smelling the natural, fresh scent. I wonder if the folks who were driven out by the smell used more than recommended?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Will not buy this product again
By Mark
from Pittsburgh, PA
First, we were attracted to the "natural defense" on the label and what appeared to be a larger container. The containers were not even half-full. The smell is overpowering. 3 containers barely covered a 29 x 11 room. The powder is extremely fine and clogged our vacuum cleaner. The entire room is coated with a fine dust. We feel we'll have to use a carpet cleaning service to clean the carpet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: This product is sold as 10 oz. There is room in the container as the vendor suggests shaking the powder before applying. The vendor also suggests 1 to 2 oz per 100 sf for coverage.

strong smell
By shay
from anderson,sc
my husband and i wanted to treat our home with a natural flea product that would not harm us or our pets. after sprinkling the carpet with the powder the smell was so strong i couldn't stand to stay in my home even with the windows open and fans on full blast.my husbands eyes were bloodshot and watering just from the harsh smell. my husband and i went to bed that night and i woke up with the worst headache from inhaling that awful smell all night. this is not considered natural to me. i would not recommend this unless you plan on not being home for a couple days because its day 2 for me and my home stills smells awful.
A good product but very strong smell
By Samson
from Portla d, OR
About Me New Pet Owner
The powder is extremely fine. Make sure you use a vacuum that has a disposable bag. I used a bagless vacuum and it was hard to empty it since all the powder came out like a cloud. I had to use a face mask to avoid inhalling the product.I am not sure if I would buy it again. My time is very limited and to use the product turned into a whole production, very time consuming. It all depends how "green" you are.
The best product I have used to date
By Finally Flea-free Dog
from Maryland
We were fighting a small number of fleas for several weeks when I finally bought this product. I have not seen a single flea since using this in my home. The only thing is that is smells STRONG! It is almost a nice refreshing smell if it wasn't so overpowering. Open your windows before putting on your carpets and plan to be out of the house for a couple of hours after using it. Of all the shampoos, sprays, powders, etc this product gave us the most relief. I would buy it again.
Absolutely INEFFECTIVE
By Critter Lover
from Olympia, WA
This product did NOTHING - Fleas were crawling actively in the powder and seemed to thrive in it.
