SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Yahoo Inc. jumped Wednesday after the Internet giant reported revenue growth for the first time in more than a year. Post Holdings Inc. also advanced on a Wall Street Journal report that it is on the verge of a mega-deal.
Yahoo YHOO, -0.43% surged 5.6% after its first-quarter earnings report showed the company returned to growth. The firm said revenue, minus commissions paid to partners for Internet traffic, was up 1% last quarter. Display-ad revenue excluding traffic commissions was up 2% compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Yahoo also reported stronger-than-expected growth in revenue from Alibaba, a Chinese company in which it holds a 24% stake, and which is expected to soon hold an initial public offering.
Brian Nowak, analyst at Susquehanna International Group, wrote that Yahoo's "results were 'deja vu' as the core business continues to disappoint, and the valuation is all about (a rapidly growing) Alibaba."
Post Holdings Inc. POST, +0.01% shares rallied 5.7% following a report in The Wall Street Journal that it has beat out several other competitors, including Tyson Foods Inc. TSN, +0.39% to position itself to buy Michael Foods Group for about $2.5 billion.
Interactive Brokers Group Inc. IBKR, -1.00% shares jumped 9.4% after the firm said its profit surged, due largely to increased trading activity in its electronic brokerage unit. The firm earned 34 cents per share last quarter, compared with 14 cents per share in the prior quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of 30 cents a share.
SodaStream International Ltd. SODA, -1.41% shares rose 8.2% on an Israeli newspaper report that the maker of home carbonation products may sell a portion of its business to a large maker of soft drinks.
Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, +0.17% shares climbed 4.9%. The airline is scheduled to report fist-quarter earnings next week. Analysts surveyed by FactSet are forecasting Delta to earn 29 cents a share in the quarter.
Linear Technology Corp. US:LLTC shares declined 4.2%. The chip manufacturer on Tuesday reported third-quarter earnings in line with analysts' estimates but still disappointed Wall Street. "The results/guide are a little disappointing though not far off and in-line with seasonality. Given the run up in shares for Linear (up 20% over the last six months) and the group, we had been hoping for a little more," said analyst J. Steven Smigie at Raymond James.
Why Alibaba is a big deal
Alibaba is gearing up for a U.S. IPO that could raise $15 billion, just shy of what Facebook sold when it went public. The Wall Street Journal's Thomas Di Fonzo explains why Alibaba is so big.
Transocean Ltd. RIG, -0.08% shares fell 2.5%. Offshore driller stocks are expected to continue facing pressure over the next few months, partly as rigs face a rise in idle time, said analysts at Cowen & Co.
Shares of CSX Corp. CSX, +0.46% dropped 2.5%. The railroad operator late Tuesday said its first-quarter profit fell to $398 million, or 40 cents a share, from $462 million, or 45 cents a share, a year ago.
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. AEM, -1.13% skidded 8.3% and Yamana Gold Inc. AUY, -0.36% shed 3.7% in the wake of a joint deal to buy Osisko Mining Corp. for roughly $3.6 billion.
Tickers to Watch
BAC: Bank of America Corp. BAC, +0.22% shares slid 2.3% after the firm said it swung to a net loss of $276 million in the first quarter, largely due to $6 billion in legal charges tied to a mortgage settlement. Excluding one-time charges aside from the mortgage charge, the global bank earned 14 cents a share, higher than the 5 cents per share expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters.
First Take: Moynihan's vision is blocked by Lewis' shadow
MC: Moelis & Co. MC, +1.21% shares rose 5.7% to $26.42 on their first day of trading. The initial public offering of the boutique investment bank was priced at $25, below the indicated price range.
GPC: Genuine Parts Co. GPC, -0.65% shares added 2.4%. The stock was upgraded to neutral from sell at Goldman Sachs, according to 24/7 Wall St.

On 5th Avenue S., or the "Purple Path," designated for "railgating" on a Vikings game day in September.
Richard Tsong-Taatarii, Dml - Star Tribune
Vikings stadium beat: A hunger to railgate again next season
- Article by: Richard Meryhew
- Star Tribune
- February 6, 2013 - 11:22 PM
The Minnesota Vikings won't kick off another NFL season for a good six months, but already, Minneapolis officials are making plans for Season 2 of the great "railgating" experience.
The experiment, pitched by Mayor R.T. Rybak as an alternative to more traditional tailgating at Vikings home games, was launched in September to encourage fans to get off the couch, hop the light rail and head downtown to eat, drink and party along a three-block stretch of 5th Street leading to the Metrodome.
The goal, Rybak has said, is to "add more sizzle" to pre-game festivities around the Metrodome in anticipation of the opening of a new Vikings stadium on the site in 2016.
Nearly 1 in 5 fans attending home games travels to the stadium, located in one of the NFL's most urban settings, by light rail. That number is projected to jump to 1 in 4 by 2016.
Railgating debuted Sept. 23 -- before the team's second home game -- with 13 food trucks alongside the light-rail tracks on 5th Street.
The number jumped to 18 the next week before slipping to three on Dec. 9 and again Dec. 30 in the season finale against Green Bay.
Cold weather -- most trucks weren't winterized -- was blamed for the dropoff, yet even with the late-season slide, city officials consider the experiment a success. Roughly 30 mobile vendors had licenses to do business in the city when railgating started. By season's end, that number doubled.
Linda Roberts, district supervisor for the city's Licenses and Consumer Services Department, attributes "the interest and positive energy around railgating" for the spike.
Chuck Lutz, city development chief, said city officials will tweak the concept next season with an aim toward working more with Warehouse District restaurants to ensure they are part of the experience.
He said the city hopes to open it up to vendors for all Vikings games, preseason included.
"What it did," Lutz said, "was it gave fans more food options."

Scan Euclid Hall's menu and you'll likely be tempted by the chips and dip, the brat burger, or the itsy bitsy fishwish. All are solid choices, but lately I've been jumping straight to the list of house-cranked sausages—and the Butcher's Choice, in particular. This ever-changing sausage selection includes offerings as varied as pork with ginger and leeks (pictured) and Swedish pork-and-potato.
Chef de cuisine Jorel Pierce explains that Butcher's Choice is designed to encourage staff creativity. "I want [my cooks] to do something they've seen before, or have heard of, or maybe remember from their childhoods," he says.
In the case of the delicate and nuanced pork-and-potato selection (my favorite sausage to date), the idea came from sous chef Austin Nickle. She wanted to recreate a sausage that she remembered her grandmother making. Before setting to work, Pierce and Nickle outlined the recipe on paper and discussed spice profiles and the difficulty of working with potato starch. "I told her, we can do what you saw from your grandmother, or we can look at the result you want and I can teach you how to make it for a restaurant like [Euclid]." The chefs' due diligence paid off and the sausage turned out perfectly on the first try. "It's these little moments," says Pierce. "It's why we do what we do."
Although Nickle's sausage is off the menu (here's hoping it makes another appearance soon), the Butcher's Choice is always worth ordering. Do as I do and upgrade it to a currywurst, pictured, and land a plate plied with sausage, toasted bretzel bread, and ginger-apricot-tomato sauce. Round out the meal with a citrusy saison from Denver's Crooked Stave.
TV Bonus: Don't miss Jennifer Jasinski, Euclid Hall's executive chef and co-owner, competing on the upcoming season of Bravo's Top Chef Masters. The first episode debuts July 24. The show is jammed with big-name chefs, including Top Chef Season 6 winner Bryan Voltaggio, David Burke (who is opening a restaurant in Aspen), and Tamayo, Zengo, Al Lado, and La Sandía chef-founder Richard Sandoval. Jasinski is competing for Work Options for Women.
Also: Chef Sandoval is hosting a viewing party on the 24th at Al Lado at 7 p.m. Watch the show, enjoy a complimenatry cocktail and appetizers, and—maybe—walk away with a bottle give-away.

Tanya Starratt
You're a writer. You've slaved over any number of books for quite some time now, and you've been regularly, faithfully submitting proposals. Yet you keep getting rejection letter after rejection letter. Why? Can't those editors see how talented you are?
Well, it's likely that indeed they can't, because you're being road-blocked by a query letter and synopsis (Q & S) that just aren't up to par. And that might be the one thing that's standing between you, and that book with your name on it. So how do you make sure the editor won't put that paper down right after picking it up?
Many people don't bother putting serious effort into their Q & S, but those two items are your first impression in the publishing world. Spelling and grammar errors, strange fonts, stained pages and handwritten letters might send your query straight into the rejection pile. Your letter is your calling cardmake it neat, professional and polite, and you'll increase your chances of getting your foot in the door.
As an Editorial Assistant, I've seen every kind of query letter you can think of: handwritten on spiral-bound paper torn out of notebooks, full of spelling and grammar errors; letters addressed to no one; and letters addressed to people who don't exist. (Ever heard of Mr. Don Mills? Nope, me neither. Don Mills is part of our mailing address!) Please notethese are things you shouldn't do.
Type your Q & S on regular 8½ x 11" white paper. Weight isn't as large a factor, but you don't want the paper to be flimsy. Find out the contact name and title for the line or imprint you're targetingthat information can be found in several placesand make sure you've spelled it correctly. Double-check the information. Use a neat, readable font in a comfortable size. You're halfway there.
Now for the meat of your Q & S. Keep your query letter short and sweet.
Give your hook in the first paragraph with a bare-bones overview of your main conflict. Imagine you're writing the back cover blurb for your book. What will grab the editor and make her look at your synopsis? (Hint: proclamations of your book's greatness won't help.) Also try matching the tone of your letter to the tone of your book. For example if you're submitting to the Harlequin Flipside line, let us see your ironic and sassy wit; a query to the Harlequin Intrigue series should be tight and fast-pacedsee what I mean?
Include a very brief description of your writing history in the second paragraph. Tell us about the number of manuscripts you've written, the writing classes you've taken and the contests you've participated inand the results, of course!
Above all, remember to keep it professional. While it's lovely to read about the fact that your Aunt Betty convinced you to start writing romance novels, that information doesn't belong in your query. Publishing is a business, and you want to be businesslike in all your communication with any publishing house. Follow up with an offer to send more material. And make sure you include your contact information!
Okay. You've made it this far. Now what about that dreaded synopsis? There are very, very few people out there who actually like writing them, and it's truethey're not easy.
You should be able to break your manuscript down into a handful of major plot points. Things like: the hero/heroine meeting; the first point of contention; the black moment, etc. The points you come up with are what your story hinges on. Essentially, your synopsis should be a list of these points, along with a minimum amount of information stringing those points together. Don't worry about emotion or descriptionthis isn't the place for that.
What the editor wants to see is how you've developed your plot, the twists you've used to make it unique and exactly how you've resolved it. The trick here is to keep your synopsis concise as well as to make sure all the important plot points are mentioned.
It does take practice, and the more you write them, the better you'll get.
Finally, remember to double-check for spelling and grammatical errors. If you feel you need to, get a friend to read everything over.
You're done! Your well-honed writing will now be able to shineand before you know it, that paperback will have your name on the cover!

UPA presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee has said he would meet Congress, CPI(M) and Forward Bloc members in the West Bengal Assembly on Monday.
"I will meet members of the Congress, CPI(M) and Forward Bloc at the assembly on Monday. These parties have pledged to support my candidature," Mukherjee said at the NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata on Sunday.
He did not divulge whether he would meet members of key UPA ally Trinamool Congress or the party chief and chief minister Mamata Banerjee who had tried to field former president APJ Abdul Kalam as the nominee of the coalition.
"Everything else I will tell you tomorrow (Monday)," Mukherjee said on his departure from New Delhi.
Mukherjee will fight former Lok Sabha speaker PA Sangma, backed by BJP and some other parties, in the election to be held on July 19. The counting of votes will take place on July 22.

The Patriots finished their first training camp session this morning, and later on head coach Bill Belichick met with the media for his daily press conference. He was asked about a variety of topics, including quarterback Michael Vick. He praised the former Falcons quarterback as an athlete, but said little else.
"Michael is an outstanding player, hasn't played in a couple of years," Belichick told reporters Thursday. "But right now, our focus is on our team and our players and trying to get the New England Patriots ready and so that's really where my attention's been. But he's a tremendous athlete. Where exactly he is right now, I don't know."
Published reports have linked Vick to coming to New England, with various media outlets saying a deal was close for Vick finding a team. Peter King refuted that report via Twitter this afternoon, saying "I hear the opposite–no team is hot in pursuit. Teams just sniffing around edge."

A fiber-optic network that's now under constriction has begun to provide high-speed internet to some under-served parts of western Massachusetts. But it's still unclear how that connection will make its way to residents and businesses in these areas.
The network will bring speedy internet tantalizingly close to people in western Massachusetts towns where it's now unavailable—a handful of public places, like libraries and town halls, will be connected.
Businesses and homes are another story.
Monica Webb of Wired West, a quasi-public organization advocating for broadband expansion, says the best chance to finish the job could be in Governor Deval Patrick's remaining sixteen months in office.
"We don't know what the next administration will bring. They may be equally supportive but they may not, so understanding that we do have the governor's support now, we want to make sure we fast-track this as quickly as possible to get it done during his administration."
Another round of build-out will still be necessary to provide door-to-door internet service, a project that Webb says could cost up to one hundred million dollars. Patrick supports a forty million dollar bond bill now before the state legislature, but the rest of the total would have to come from a to-be-determined combination of loans and, perhaps, private investment.
Also unknown is what internet provider or providers will step up to offer service.

Neighboring Alvin, Manvel meet on gridiron for first time
Updated 9:14 pm, Thursday, October 4, 2012
Manvel and Alvin have been in the same school district since 2006 and shared a varsity football stadium since 2008. But they never have played each other in varsity football.
That will change at 7 p.m. Friday when the two clash at Alvin ISD Memorial Stadium.
For the first time in school history, Alvin will be sitting on the visitors' side of its home stadium. Manvel has been dubbed the home team for the game.
Manvel, which moved up to District 22-5A after four years in 24-4A, is 3-1 and 1-0 in district. Alvin is 2-3 and 1-0.
This is a rivalry waiting to happen. The two schools are situated nine miles apart and are the only two high schools in Alvin ISD.
Manvel is playing its first year of 5A competition after making it to the 2011 4A Division I state championship game.

When he's not taking care of a majestic marshaling of toy trains, Graham Claytor gets to play with the real thing
December 1988 | Volume 39, Issue 8
I wrenched myself back to trains. How did Claytor get into his hobby?
"When I was nine or ten years old," said Claytor, "about 1921 or 1922, my father got me for Christmas a Lionel standard-gauge passenger train, and for my next younger brother, who subsequently died, a slightly smaller standard-gauge freight train. We had it in the attic at home, in Roanoke, Virginia, and it was our pride and joy. Then we moved to Philadelphia, where my father's boss's son had a whole batch of Lionel trains from the great 1915-20 period. He was going off to Princeton. I suppose he felt too grown-up for toy trains, and he gave them all to me, everything, including some rare old items. They were in a big chest when we moved to New York, and while I was off at school my mother gave them all away."
Terrible things like this have befallen more than one boy. This "away" period in young Claytor's life included the University of Virginia and Harvard Law School (summa cum laude) in 1936, followed by clerking for eminent judges, a mark of distinction for graduates. Graham Claytor worked a year each for the famous federal judge Learned Hand and for Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. From this he went on to Covington and Burling, the top law firm in Washington. After the war he returned and was soon a partner. No time for trains, probably, and I asked how he got back into them.
"I was courting Frances [Murray Hammond, his wife] in 1947 and 1948 and found out that she had one of the same standard-gauge Lionel trains that I had lost, given by her father when she was six." Frances was a lady of rank—the same rank, lieutenant commander (in the Waves), as he was. This new and unquestionably electric discovery must have helped bring about their wedding in 1948. Over the phone on another occasion, Mrs. Claytor told me, "That train was my dowry."
"That's how I started up the collection again," her husband said. "It was Frances who introduced me to Carlisle & Finch; I had never heard of them. Then I began to get into the collector literature and magazines and go to the big shows. The biggest now is at York, Pennsylvania, every year. I'm only after toy trains, antiques, the early stuff like the push-pulls, the floor trains, clockwork, live steam. I have foreign things too, like the fine Märklin, Bing, and other German ones. But I stop about 1940—no scale-model or HO stuff or plastic. Of course, many people love all that, but it's come in since my period, and you need watchmaker skills to fool with HO gauge.
"Well, Ives went bust in 1929 or 1930 and Lionel bought them out. American Flyer had difficulties and was sold to A. C. Gilbert of Connecticut, the Erector Set people, but they went out of business. Lionel kept on into the 1960s, but then the boss, J. Lionel Cowen, died and a couple of highfliers got in and bankrupted the company. It was resold to General Mills and later moved to Mexico to get the costs down and meet cheaper foreign competition. Now I hear that a railroad fan named Kughn, who has made millions in constructing shopping centers, has bought it and is going to make the traditional Lionel trains, in O gauge, the way they used to be. There are other small manufacturers in standard gauge, but Lionel's the last of the basics."
Amtrak is a "last" also, the last and only intercity railroad in the country. When the remaining private railroad passenger services were gathered into it in 1971 by a far-from-enthusiastic Nixon administration, many critics thought it certain, if not indeed designed, to fail. Claytor, who by then was president of the Southern Railway, was still running the famous de luxe Washington-New Orleans train, the Southern Crescent, with fine sleeping and dining cars. Why was he one of the few holdouts from Amtrak?
"I thought Amtrak was going to be a disaster, and for several years it was. I said that the underlying railroads that Amtrak used would get the blame, and so I wanted to run the best passenger service in the country under our own name."
And he did. Eventually, however, the Crescent did join Amtrak, and in 1982 Claytor himself did, as president.. Since then everything has been moving in one direction—service, equipment, routes, stations, technology, ridership—all up. By 1987 Amtrak was recovering for the first time all its "short-term avoidable costs" above the rails, as they put it. It means the costs of operating, or not operating, a train. Revenues last year were up 13 percent, to almost a billion dollars. The only thing that's down is the subsidy, which shrinks each year and has been reduced by 35 percent since 1981. The big problem is capital, which Congress deals out like a Yankee paring cheese. For example, Amtrak could fill many more than its present 1,644 cars, far fewer than any single big private company had at its peak. But the days when Amtrak had to fight Congress for its life every year are over. Folks know a good thing when they see it.

The Wall Street Journal
June 1, 2009
[efoods]WASHINGTON — Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings spent $24,730 in taxpayer money last year to lease a 2008 luxury Lexus hybrid sedan. Ohio Rep. Michael Turner expensed a $1,435 digital camera. Eni Faleomavaega, the House delegate from American Samoa, bought two 46-inch Sony TVs.
The expenditures were legal, properly accounted for and drawn from allowances the U.S. government grants to lawmakers. Equipment purchased with office expense accounts must be returned to the House or the federal General Services Administration when a lawmaker leaves office.
But as British politicians come under widening scorn for spending public money on everything from candy bars to moat-dredging, an examination of U.S. lawmakers' expense claims shows Washington's elected officials have also used public funds for eye-catching purchases.

GRANTS PASS — Oregon state water officials figure they won't start shutting off irrigation in the drought-stricken upper Klamath Basin until later this week.
GRANTS PASS — Oregon state water officials figure they won't start shutting off irrigation in the drought-stricken upper Klamath Basin until later this week.
Doug Woodcock of the state Water Resources Department said Tuesday that first they must carefully measure the flow in rivers and streams where the Klamath Tribes and the federal government have exercised their senior water rights on tens of thousands of acres. Then they will work through the various water rights in the area, to see how many junior rights must be shut off to fulfill the senior rights of the tribes and the government.
The tribes are protecting flows for fish in rivers running through their former reservation lands. The federal government is securing water for a federal irrigation project and wildlife refuges downstream. They issued what is known as a call on Monday to fulfill their water rights, which were recognized by an administrative law judge last March after decades of litigation.
Faced with no water to irrigate pastures through the dry summer, ranchers around Fort Klamath, Chiloquin, Sprague River, Bly and Beatty are scrambling to find feed for more than 70,000 cattle.
Mindful of the potential for violence when people's livelihoods are at stake, watermasters are taking precautions. Extra personnel have been sent in from Lakeview, Bend, Medford and Salem. Watermasters will travel in pairs, and notify the sheriff's office when and where they are going.
District Attorney Rob Patridge said he has established contact with the tribes and irrigators in hopes of avoiding the kinds of tensions that marked the 2001 irrigation shutoff to farmers on the Klamath Reclamation Project, a federal irrigation project straddling the Oregon-California border south of Klamath Falls.
Meanwhile, the Klamath Tribes have had some contact with irrigators in the upper basin exploring the potential for a settlement that could ease the water tensions. But prospects for a deal appear dim.
"We need a significant number of parties in the Williamson, Sprague, and Wood river systems to willingly participate in a settlement and commit to managing a healthy riparian corridor along streams," said Tribal chairman Don Gentry.
"I believe this is essential to addressing water quality and other issues that are most affecting our local fisheries."
Tom Mallams, an irrigator and Klamath County Commissioner, said he would like to reach a settlement, but it would have to be something approved by Congress, and include assurances of water, cheap power for irrigators and changes to the Endangered Species Act.
Mallams and others are counting on winning an appeal of the administrative law judge's ruling that gave the tribes water rights dating to time immemorial on rivers flowing through their former reservation.
Irrigators affiliated with the Upper Klamath Water Users Association favor joining a tentative settlement agreement between farmers on the Klamath Reclamation Project, the tribes and others. It addresses water supplies during times of shortage, and provides funding for watershed restoration. It has languished in Congress, along with an agreement to remove four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and California.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is holding a Senate committee hearing June 20 on the Klamath water situation. Irrigators, tribal officials and others are expected to testify.

The Global X Social Media Index ETF (NasdaqGS: SOCL) is one of this year's most impressive ETF specimens. Up almost 51% year-to-date, $50.5 million of SOCL's $68.4 million in assets under management has flowed into the fund since the start of the year.
Among other catalysts, SOCL has surged on the back of resurgent Facebook (NasdaqGM: FB), ongoing gains for LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD), jaw-dropping performances from some of the ETF's Chinese holdings, the ability of Internet stocks to prove durable in the face of rising U.S. interest rates and news of the Twitter initial public offering. [Twitter IPO Icing on the Cake for Social Media ETF]
Even with all those positives in tow, SOCL could be getting ready to give investors a history lesson and it may not be one they want to remember. Although the ETF will turn just two years old next month, some investors think it is starting to act a bit too much the way Internet stocks did in the late 1990s before the brutal bursting of the Internet/technology bubble. [Social Media ETF Suffers First Two-Day Skid in a Month]
"Social media stocks' valuations currently aren't at the nosebleed levels seen at the height of the dot-com bust, but they're ridiculously high compared with blue-chip tech stocks with greater sales and profits," reports Trang Ho for Investor's Business Daily.
On a price-to-sales basis, Facebook trades at 20 times while Linked trades at 23 times, according to IBD. The two stocks combine for 22.2% of SOCL's weight. By comparison, Yahoo (NasdaqGM: YHOO) and eBay (NasdaqGM: EBAY) trade at an average of six times sales, IBD reported.
Data support the notion that SOCL is richly valued. The ETF has a P/E ratio of almost 38 and price-to-book ratio of 4.67, according to Global X data. The PowerShares QQQ (NasdaqGS: QQQ), the NASDAQ 100 tracking ETF, has a P/E of 18.6 and a price-to-book ratio of 3.6. Even the PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio (NasdaqGS: PNQI), which devotes a substantial part of its weight to expensive stocks like Facebook, Amazon (NasdaqGM: AMZN) and Netflix (NasdaqGM: NFLX), has a slightly lower P/E than SOCL at 36.
MarketPsych, a market psychology research firm, shows investor optimism in SOCL has already gotten too frothy and a near-term sell-off for the ETF could be in the cards, IBD report. Then again, Internet stocks have shown investors the shares can remain richly valued for extended time frames, making timing SOCL's decline a tricky endeavor.

Cool! These are some of the best I have ever played through. I could never get a realistic tone from Guitar Rig or Amplitube. You're definitely the amp modeling master! How long does the modeling process take? Oh, and when dhould we expect to see an AU version of the SoloC?
Btw, any thoughts about doing a Peavey 5150 or 6505?
Thank you!Infinite thanks, I've been waiting for this for ages and it sounds amazing.
I have been getting a few bugs with it so far though; every now and then it'll blare out horrific loud noise during playback and I'll have to reset it...anyone else getting this?
It's never happened with any of my other LePou plugins.Hi Guys,
nice work, fantastic sound but: Tried to use your wonderful plugins in Pro Tools with FXpansion VST to RTAS converter. What a pity, that I can´t move any knob oder change a channel, its all frozen ;-(. The FXpansion guys, told me, that you can contact them. Seems that there are only simple things to change, to get the plugins work correctly in Pro Tools... and then I will donate, thats for shure!
THX and Greets!@Red Raw: I use LAConvolver with Logic - works well and is avail for free/donation. Then you will need Impulse Responses (IRs) of cabinets. There's plenty for free online of varying quality, but of those I've tried I can recommend Redwirez Marshall demo cab (1960A G12M-25s), as well as some IRs from Beamsonic, Alu and Guitarhack.
Redwirez also has as good a list as any of all the major convolutions plugins, so there are plenty of free and not-so-free alternatives to LAConvolver.
There are some pure cabinet emulation plugins around too but the only one I can think of at the moment is by Airwindows and they're not free.Thanks for the great work LePou! Hope someday there will be a Mac version of LeCab! \m/
RépondreSupprimerUsing these in Ableton , no problem. The VSTs just go where all your other VSTs go.
But I have not figured the whole impulse thingy. Anyone go a link where the whole cab/impulse loader thing gets explained. Is it just a cab simulator so the plugin does not behave as if you are "recording direct"?Credits on Xader's album.
My name is Hugo, from Spain. I work as producer in Lume Produccions (www.lumeproduccions.com) and I play guitar in a Melodic Rock band called XADER (www.xader.es)
We've recorded our first album using some of your pluggins. Actually, we are finishing the mixes (you can hear some rough samples on http://www.myspace.com/xadermelodicrock)
We would like to include you in credits. So, please, contact us!
Thank you very much for your inspiring work!
Best regards from Spain!!!anybody else install to logic and unable to move the controls on the front of the plugin?
I can change the settings but only by clicking into 'view' and 'controls'..
I got it to work fine and it's amazing on CuBase, but I use logic on the road and I'd love to be able to use it properly
Thank guys!Hi, Thanks for getting back to me on this BUT, These plugins just aren't working for me. I am using Garage band. Is it possible that OS Lion Is not recognizing it? I had a buddy of mine even try on His Mac and he's running Snow Leopard and its not working for him either. Please Help!
RépondreSupprimerRéponsesI have the same problem too!!!! I used to record with my Basic BR600 from Roland, that's how my band got a good recording deal with Fredrik Nordstroem(Producer for At the Gates, The Haunted, In Flames) I guess I.ll just have to go for the real thing again like I used to...Guitar/AMP/PDI-3/Interface/Garageband 11.....Cheers,Krimson Le Diable
Hello stevo. These plugins don´t work with Pro Tools. Pro Tools sees only RTAS-plugins. There is a VST to RTAS Adapter by Expansion FX for about 99$, but don´t buy it, because this adapter has problems with the LePou Plugs. Everything is frozen, you can´t change any of the amp settings.
RépondreSupprimerMan i spent HOURS ON THIS! I AM BEYONE UPSET! pro tools 8 for mac. I bought the $99 fxpansion to convert, which took me a couple hours to find out i need to convert, then I find out these plugins don't work after I drop the $99! What even upsets me more is I did see these plugins for a moment in pro tools! they were listed as VST_lepou or whatever under VST plugins in pro tools...but i couldn't move the dials as you guys said! I kept trying and trying and wrapping them again, to no avail...now i can't get them to appear in pro tools at all! Are they that corrupt that they won't show up in pro tools at all, and if that is the case, then why were they there when i first unwrapped them, closed pro tools and now they're not anywhere in pro tools? can someone please give me the reason for this. i can't be that retarded. answer me this...when you unwrap, does fxpansion automatically put them where they need to go in pro tools folders? maybe it's not me. i would love to donate but this has cost me too many crazy hours and i'm out of my mind now.
RépondreSupprimerHi stevo, I´am very sorry to hear that, but I have made the same EXPENSIVE Experience. I went a step more far and contacted the fxpansion guys, to ask what can be done to make the plugs work. They told me that LePou should contact them. It seems that only little changes in the programm code could help to make the plugs work. I posted this news here on the board earlier this year, but I did get no response yet. The point is probably, that the plugs are free and LePou has neither time nor money to work on this issues. What a cruel world!I would even pay for the plugs, if they would work in ProTools! So I tell you my personal State of the Art: The plugs work in GARAGEBAND with the free convolver, sound really great on PC with FRUIT LOOP and I use the plugs now in LOGIC. They work, but we must face up the fact, that we spent a lot of time and money for nothing! Not to talk of learning Logic, which is a little different to ProTools. So my deepest sympathy to you and keep your head up. Perheps time is on our side.
RépondreSupprimerI'm having some serious troubles with nearly all the plugins under OS X 10.7.5 & Logic 9.1.7. Except for LeCab2 (?) none of them work, and yes, I installed the files correctly. Neither AUs, nor VSTs will load in Logic. :/
Any suggestions?Please port the Linux in any of your amp. This is madness. I do not want to return to the Win due to the absence of the normal Linux amps. Now I have Ubuntu 12.04 64 and I can not install (or compile) any dssi-vst or festige. Believe me, if you do, you will be a lot of noise.
Sorry for my EnglishI'm blown away by your work! I use amp simulations all the time, but yours are the best I've heard yet.
I have one small issue though. I might come off stupid, if the answer is totally obvious. But where is the stereo mono switch on the Mac AU versions of the amp sims?Taxi cab services can be one of two things night mare or a fulfillment of your expectations that being a clean, safe inexpensive ride or trip to home or work like most people are usually tired from their plane ride and the last thing they want to deal with is a unfriendly monterey plaza hotel and spa driver, dirty car and extremely expensive.
RépondreSupprimerGreat work! I have compared this to my custom-shop hi-gain tube preamp (Myasnikov Amps) and it was hard to say which is more natural.
Can you give me sources? I promise that I will not share it to anyone without your permission.Réponsesyou are right great work. thanks admin for sharing with us this information. dubai desert safari
a BIG salud to you mr Poulin, the leGion and the le456 are the best i ever come across, and together with Torpedo Wall of Sound III the sound is nothing short of awesome, i never been able to get this kind of sound before in my life, i played for 40 years, 15 years with V amps ... u gave me my dreamsound.. can i please pay you something or send a bottle of champagne or invite you to come and stay in our house in Manila with full luxry service
RépondreSupprimerNice blog.. This is wonderful post. I do hope you intend to post more of these types of information. Thank you for this interesting information.. whmcs bridge
RépondreSupprimerHi, first of all, thank you for the awesome sounding plugin!
I've found two little bugs in Le456 (I use Win32 VST version, fl studio 9 as vst host):
Bug number 1:
When you add the VST to the channel insert for the first time, the main input knob stays in the middle position (12 o'clock, seems to be default input value), but when you double-click on it (forced reset) this value becomes different (higher value).
Seems to be the default input value is "not default" indeed.
Bug number 2.:
When you click on the chean channel (channel B) drive switch (Clean/Crunch) it sets two knobs on lower values:
a) the main input knob (like described before),
b) channel B drive knob.
Again, when you double-click on these knobs to reset them, these values come to the default.
This bug makes it a bit uncomfortable to work with the plugin in clean (channel B) mode - need to modify the input gain knob and channel B drive knob everytime after switching Clean/Crunch.
Channel A is ok (no similar bugs found).
Mr. LePou, it would be awesome to forget about these little bugs (of course, if you have time).
Anyway, thank you so much for such a realistic awesome VST called Le456!
All the Best.
God save you, rock and peace \m/
Sergey, Russia.I'm having a trifle of a tangle here ._. i am exploitation the newest Reaper version and whenever I load this VST, as before long as I star enjoying, it'll mechanically mute my track for a few reason :s i take advantage of Lextac and Legion too, however that does not happen with either one. D: facilitate D: please mantoos
RépondreSupprimerAwesome plugin and at the same time, wow am I having problems with it.
I don't blame the plugin though, rather, I blame Windows7.
If anyone has any suggestions to the following problems I'm having, please let me know.
I am using Adobe Audition CC 64Bit.
With the LE456 64Bit plugin.
If I touch any controls the volume and gain acts like its at zero.
However after barely moving the Gain dial the sound comes back.
In addition, during playback or recording, if I press stop on the playhead then Adobe Audition crashes.
If I remove the plugin from the DAW, it doesn't crash.
So then I tried JBridge with the LE456 32bit plugin.
I can get this one to almost work perfectly except for one issue as per the following:
When a track is recorded it is out of sync with all other tracks.
Turning off LE456 makes everything in sync again.
But turn LE456 back on and the track is out of sync again.
Or if I close the DAW and re-open it, then everything is in sync.
But if I record another track, that newly recorded track is out of sync again.
The only answer I have is to close the DAW and re-open it, which is a nightmare.
Obviously there is no way I will ever get a song finished if I have to close the DAW and re-open it every time a track is recorded.
As mentioned in the beginning, I'm suspecting the problem is with Win7, but I don't know for sure.
I'm at a complete loss.
Any suggestions from anyone would be helpful.
Thank you,

Doubles Quarters Set In Indian Wells
Published March 11, 2013 11:05
INDIAN WELLS, CA, USA - The last of the doubles quarterfinal berths were secured at the BNP Paribas Open Monday, with one of them going to No.6 seeds Nuria Llagostera Vives and Zheng Jie.
Llagostera Vives and Zheng were 76(2) 63 winners over Irina-Camelia Begu and Alicja Rosolska.
"It's fun playing with her," Llagostera Vives said. "We get along very well, and we are good friends, which is important. We communicate a lot when we are on court, which makes the work easy.
"We play really similar. We both are really aggressive from the baseline and we return well. This is our fourth tournament this year, and I think we are improving every tournament."
Next up for Llagostera Vives and Zheng are third-seeded Nadia Petrova and Katarina Srebotnik, whom they managed just one game against at their last event in the Dubai semifinals.
"It's a good challenge for us because in Dubai a few weeks ago, we played a bad match and lost easily, so it can't be worse than that," Llagostera Vives said. "We need to talk about what we did wrong and focus on playing better in this one."
Also victorious in the second round were Daniela Hantuchova and Anabel Medina Garrigues and Chan Hao-Ching and Janette Husarova.
Hantuchova and Medina Garrigues cruised past Cara Black and Anastasia Rodionova, 61 63, to set up an encounter against Hsieh Su-Wei and Peng Shuai - the second round conquerors of top-ranked Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci.
Chan and Husarova rallied from 64 31 down for a 46 63 105 triumph over Marina Erakovic and Heather Watson. Fourth-seeded Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina await them in the quarters.

2K Sports Reveals the Final Fan Voting Results for the Major League Baseball 2K10 Box Cover

2K Sports Reveals the Final Fan Voting Results for the Major League Baseball® 2K10 Box Cover
Fans select Evan Longoria throwing out a baserunner for final box cover image
As the result of a national voting contest, 2K Sports announced today that the final box cover art of Major League Baseball® 2K10 will feature Evan Longoria, third baseman of the Tampa Bay Rays®, making a defensive play with his Golden Glove ability and set against a classic silver backdrop. Garnering 35% of the total vote, the final packaging for the game was open to the public to decide, as fans got the exciting opportunity to select from a gallery of different cover art layouts at www.2Ksports.com/vote. Other options included photos of Longoria at the plate with a red background, each from a different angle after crushing the baseball.
"Throughout my career, I've taken great pride in my fielding and defensive ability," said Longoria. "I'm pumped about the final cover and sincerely appreciate all the dedicated fans who took time to weigh in on their favorite image for Major League Baseball 2K10."
Longoria made his Tampa Bay debut in 2008 and was named to the American League All Star team in each of his first two MLB seasons, as well as being named the 2008 American League Rookie of the Year. His accolades continued last month when in addition to being named the cover athlete for Major League Baseball 2K10, Longoria won a Gold Glove Award and a Silver Slugger Award presented by Louisville Slugger, naming him the top fielding and hitting third baseman in the American League.
Developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio, Major League Baseball 2K10 is not yet rated by the ESRB and will be available in Spring 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation®3, PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Wii system, Nintendo DS and Windows PC.

Theme answers:
- 17A: Throat soothers (COUGH DROPS).
- 23A: Edible pastry decorations (CAKE SPRINKLES).
- 47A: High-quality bed linen (PERCALE SHEETS).
- 57A: Wet bar containers (ICE BUCKETS).
- 65A: Phenomenon described by the ends of 17-, 23-, 47- and 57-Across (RAIN).
I had some issues with this puzzle. I really like the theme and three out of the four theme answers are fine. But, CAKE SPRINKLES? I don't think I've ever heard them called that. Obviously not scientific or definitive in any way, but if you Google the term in quotation marks, you'll only get about 19,000 hits. Without the quotation marks (which to my mind means you're finding the same thing — i.e., sprinkles you'd use to decorate baked goods — but not insisting they be called by the specific phrase) gets you more than 700,000. I was just about to say that I know a bunch of you are foodies, but it occurred to me that's Rex's blog that has all the foodie commenters. Do we have any foodies over here? Well, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who didn't bat an eye over CAKE SPRINKLES.
I also don't think I've ever heard the phrase DRONE BEE (31A: Stingless male), but I'm much more willing to believe that's a real thing that I've simply never heard of. PASTA-RONI tripped me up (5A/60A: Noodle product derived from "The San Francisco Treat!") because I wanted it to be Rice-a-Roni, which obviously isn't a noodle product, but when I see "San Francisco Treat" it gets the Rice-a-Roni jingle going in my head and I can't really focus on anything else. I honestly didn't even notice that the clue said "noodle."
To me, the YEHUDI / GELID / ALTAI section bears more than a passing resemblance to a train wreck (46D: Violinist Menuhin / 61A: Very cold / 64A: Asia's __ Mountains). The D and I were total guesses and there was no one more surprised than me that they turned out to be right.
For all my complaining, there were, however, a few nice medium-to-long answers in the grid. SPACKLE is fun to say (10D: Wall hole filler), as is BATHSHEBA (32D: King David's wife) and PYRRHIC (45A: Like a costly victory), though I admit I needed a couple crosses to confirm the spelling on that last one.
All in all, a nice theme idea and a couple of sparkly words didn't make up for the not-great theme execution and the decidedly non-Tuesday mash-up in eastern Texas. Unfortunately, I'd have to say I'm not a big fan of this puzzle. I'm eager to hear your thoughts in the comments and I leave you with this:
Crosswordese 101: SKAT is CrossWorld's favorite card game, and this is what you need to know about it: (1) it's played with 32 cards, (2) all cards are higher than six, (3) it's played with three hands, (4) it's German, (5) it involves taking tricks and has trump cards.
Other crosswordese in the puzzle that we've already covered:
- 62A: Saragossa's river (EBRO).
- 12D: Mountain ridge (ARETE).

Indian great Rahul Dravid said that players like Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar should have been allowed to play in domestic cricket for their states in the ongoing Ranji Trophy tournament.
Dravid told ESPN cricinfo, "Well, I think there was a good opportunity and a case to allow these players play for their teams in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final. There is a gap of seven days before they play the first One-Day International (ODI) (January 19). I am sure these six could have joined the team a day or two later as it has happened earlier."
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hasn't allowed any of the six players — Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane (Mumbai), Mohammed Shami (Bengal), Stuart Binny (Karnataka), Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Suresh Raina (UP) to play for their states as Indian ODI squad is flying off to New Zealand in wee hours of January 12 — which is the last day of the quarter-final.

Bauce 4 Real
# J Hill Says:
September 13th, 2010 at 8:52 amBauce 4 Real Says:
September 13th, 2010 at 8:45 amTime to start John Henderson people…….Tommy Kelly permanently the UT and Seymour as LDE….make Houston and shaughnessy the RDEs inthe base…..you wanna stop run for real?
You think VY had all day to throw yesterday, that lineup allows for reading the paper and having a beer for the QB.
***************************Verses the triple shots of patron he had yesterday with the base d?
Let's assume that DMC continues to play well against the Lambs, RB controversy when Bush comes back in week #3?
Did Tommy Kelly play yesterday?
ROG: I'm not sure, but I know he got a huge game check
Just Fire Baby
What was up with the DE on Titans getting off on the ball so quickly?
It was like we never changed the snap-count. Down-set-hut……sack.
Was it because of the noise? Rookie center? Cement-headed QB? Cable and Hue not thinking that far ahead?
Seriously, our O-line has enough issues blocking guys on a even plain, that just wasn't even fair.
J Hill
How are we gonna score points with 6 linemen in on all passing downs; and they still couldnt stop them. Its just embarrasing
For the first time I can really say…
Don't blame the loss on me. -
At least a real Qb got me 72.65 points in our FF League yesterday even in defeat. Thank goodness I have Peyton!
I blame the snap count issues on Veldheer. He must give some tic or gesture that sets the defense off. There's no way that they can judge the perfect moment to come off the line.
I thought we were getting pressure on VY, especially early in the game. He just did what he always does, ran out of the pocket and made a play.
You look at the box score and VY did what he usually does. about 18 passes with 13 complete. He is good at getting rid of the ball and he just seems to WIN with mediocre QB play
Hobs Gnarly
no, rb controversy unless we make one, both are on record saying they don't care who starts, they're buds.
DMAC is that really you?
new post gents
I'd have been better off starting Jason Campbell yesterday in my FF league than the guy I chose (and we even lose points for sacks)…
Is that good for the Raiders or bad for my FF team?
+1 Internets if you can guess who I started…
But then when JLH scores a TD you will cry about that black guy doing an endzone dance you cant do!
I'm mexican partner so I could show your sisters how to salsa merengue whatever you want, I just think a man scores a td and moves on the next play because it isn't the last time that's gonna happen
Question for you guys in Oaktown that go to games and know about ticket prices and value….
My buddy won 2 luxury suite tickets with clubhouse access (think that means free food and beverages) and parking pass to an upcoming Raider game from a casino here in Reno.
Wants to sell the pair of tickets for $200. Told him he could probably get more.
Anyone know what they're actually worth ??
Mc Fadden ran fantastic yesterday!!!! He needed to be the featured back a whole game.He needed to get accustomed to being patience and picking the holes in the lines and then shooting through it like a rocket. He was fast and shifty. I had not seen this running style in games from him until yesterday. I think he has what is takes to be a major positive impact for the Raider team.
The Raiders have too many of the same style receivers. Ford, Higgins, DHB, They are the same type of player. Raiders, try a average speed, good route running, good air adjusting, jumper, wide body, with great hands receiver. A receiver with great body control build great confidence with quarterbacks.Just food for thought.

Endeavour and International Space Station crewmembers completed a smooth installation of the Port One (P1) truss and a spacewalk to hook up connections between P1 and the rest of the station. The spacewalk, by Mission Specialists Michael Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington successfully completed scheduled tasks.
P1 was removed from Endeavour's payload bay at 9:22 a.m. CST by the shuttle's robotic arm, operated by Commander Jim Wetherbee. He handed it off to the station's Canadarm2, operated by Expedition 6 commander Ken Bowersox and Expedition 5 NASA ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson, and released the shuttle arm's grip on P1 a little before 11 a.m. Whitson and Bowersox maneuvered the 14-ton, 45-foot truss segment to its installation position.
P1 is the third segment of the Integrated Truss Structure to be installed this year. A fourth segment, the P6 truss, supports the 240-foot-long solar arrays atop the station. It was installed there in December 2000 and will be moved later to the left end of the station's backbone. At completion, the integrated truss will consist of 11 segments stretching the length of a football field.
The spacewalk began at 1:49 p.m., about 30 minutes earlier than planned, after the four bolts securing the P1 to the S0 truss centerpiece had been driven home by remote commands. The spacewalk ended a little before 8:35 p.m. for a total time of 6 hours and 45 minutes.
Herrington and Lopez-Alegria hooked up electrical connections between P1 and the station, installed spool positioning devices designed to ensure that quick disconnect devices in fluid lines will function properly, and released launch locks securing the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) cart, a kind of hand car for the truss railway. The two spacewalkers also removed two drag links, large metal rods that had supported P1 during launch, and stowed them in the P1 framework. Finally, after Herrington had topped off his oxygen supply in the airlock, they installed Node Wireless video system External Transceiver Assembly (WETA) antennas allowing reception from spacewalkers' helmet cameras without a shuttle present.
Endeavour Pilot Paul Lockhart, with help from Bowersox and Expedition 6 Science Officer Don Pettit, served as intravehicular officer during the spacewalk, coaching Lopez-Alegria and Herrington through their tasks and keeping them on the timeline.
The spacewalk was the 22nd station-based spacewalk, and brought the total time for space station spacewalks to 292 hours, 10 minutes. There have been 25 shuttle-based assembly spacewalks.
Lopez-Alegria, wearing the spacesuit with red stripes, and Herrington, in the all-white spacesuit, will conduct two more spacewalks, each scheduled for 6˝ hours, on Thursday and Saturday. Both will focus on making additional connections between the new truss segment and the station, and outfitting the P1.
Expedition 5 Commander Valery Korzun, Whitson and Flight Engineer Sergei Treschev conducted handover discussions with their Expedition 6 successors, Bowersox, Pettit and Flight Engineer Nikolai Budarin, during parts of the Tuesday spacewalk.
The next STS-113 mission status report will be issued Wednesday morning or earlier if events warrant.

I have installed SQL Monitor free trial but I'm sure I added too many servers to the monitoring configuration and I think it is overwhelming my hard drive. Now when I start the service, my workstation locks up within mere moments.
Is there a way to remove all monitored servers and then start over with maybe just one or two?

Turkey is a paradise for street-food fans, and when Feniger travels there, she especially loves nibbling on the airy doughnuts soaked in syrup that are offered by many vendors. She made them her own by lacing a basic cream-puff dough with cardamom and cinnamon. Dried rose hips steeped in the syrup add a little texture and tartness to the sticky, fragrant bites.
Leave a Review
I love this recipe. I first made this about 4 years ago when I started dating my husband who is from Turkey and loves doughnuts. This recipe has been super reliable and consistant - I've served it at numerous brunchs and even made it for his family during our second visit to Turkey. It's a family favorite now that I make each time we return. It still works out with the unfamiliar metric system and lack of kitchen measuring tools available. Amazing what some sweat and prayers does when you're cooking for your mother-in-law! I never make the syrup - I improvise and toss them in cinnamon sugar or in pumpkin spice sugar. Keeps it easy and always pleases.
This recipe did not work exactly as it should have. My choux dough was beyond sticky, it was loose and there is no way I could have shaped it. Maybe I should have fried it free form but instead I added a lot more flour (more than 2 cups total when the recipe only calls for one cup) and they were still hard to shape. I almost considered not serving them but actually people really liked them--I made them a few hours before dinner and reheated them for dessert. I also did not use rose hips but otherwise followed the recipe and think actual rosehips would have been overpowering (but the rosewater was good). I also have a lot of syrup left over--not sure how I'll use it. My daughter and her friends loved it and would have given more than a 2 star but I'm a tough grader. I may make it again without the extra flour and see if I get more of a cream puff.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – After just two points through the first three quarters, guard Khalif Wyatt scored 23 points in the fourth to pull the Springfield Armor (13-20), presented by MGM Springfield, out of a two-point hole for a 97-80 victory over the Santa Cruz Warriors (18-14) Friday night at Kaiser Permanente Arena.
The Santa Cruz offense relied on Seth Curry in the early going as the Duke product accounted for the first seven Warrior points, but the Armor defense was in full force, holding the Warriors to just 16 first-quarter points to take a 23-16 edge into the second.
After falling into a one-point deficit following a 14-6 Santa Cruz run, Springfield closed out the half by outscoring the Warriors 13-10 for a 42-40 advantage at intermission. Darius Johnson-Odom led the Armor offense with 11 points, while Willie Reed pulled down 11 boards to go along with eight first-half points.
Curry continued to lead the home team with 12 points at the break, but the Warriors' shooting struggles continued as the team shot just 31 percent from the floor in the first half, following a 35 percent performance from the field last night.
The third quarter belonged to Santa Cruz's Daniel Nwaelele as the former Air Force guard posted nine points on 4-of-4 shooting in the frame to help the Warriors grab a 67-65 lead entering the fourth quarter. Reed added 10 points in the third to eclipse double-double numbers before the final period, but six free throws by the Warriors helped put the Armor in a two-point hole with 12 minutes to play.
The Armor had yet to win a game when entering the fourth quarter behind on the scoreboard. That was until Wyatt got his hands on the ball. The former Temple Owl, acquired via trade with Reno earlier in the week, dropped 23 points in the stanza to lead the Springfield comeback. The Armor went on to outscore Santa Cruz 32-13 in the frame to complete the two-game sweep with a 97-80 victory.
After his explosive fourth quarter, Wyatt finished with 25 points, using a 5-of-7 effort from beyond the arc for his career-high. Reed pulled down 20 boards to go with his 20 points for the first 20-20 game of the season for the Armor, and the second of his career.
Curry's 21 points led the Warriors, but Santa Cruz combined to shoot 34.5 percent from the floor and just 20.0 percent from long range (5-of-25).

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 22 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the first oral drug to reduce relapses of multiple sclerosis, the nervous system disorder that has traditionally been treated with injectable drugs.
Gilenya (fingolimod) is designed to reduce relapses and delay the progression of debilitating symptoms in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The drug, which works by altering the immune system response, will be available in capsule form.
Research published in January in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Gilenya reduced relapse rates in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. However, as is often the case with immune-suppressing medications, there were concerns about side effects, including an increased risk of serious infections and, possibly, cancer.
"Oral drugs are what people with MS have been wishing for a long time. This is wonderful news for people with MS," Dr. John Richert, former executive vice president of research and clinical programs for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, told HealthDay at the time the research was published. The drug appears to be "quite effective," and at the moment, appears to have a reasonable risk-benefit ratio. "However," he added, "it will be very important for people with MS and their physicians to remain vigilant and be on the lookout for side effects."
The January research was funded by the drug's manufacturer, the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, potentially disabling illness that's believed to be an autoimmune disorder. In MS, the body's natural defense system mistakenly attacks the fatty substance that protects the nerves (myelin) in the brain and spinal cord. About 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis, which is characterized by periods of well-being followed by periodic relapses, according to the multiple sclerosis society.
Until now, the existing treatments for reducing relapses in relapsing MS were all injectable medications, which Richert said is sometimes a barrier for people to start early treatment. He said that treatments may be more successful if they're started early in the course of the disease, so he's hoping that having oral medications will help people start treatment sooner.
The two Gilenya studies published in January were phase 3 studies. One study included more than 1,000 people with relapsing-remitting MS. The study participants were randomly selected to receive a daily dose of 0.5 milligrams (mg), 1.25 mg or a placebo.
Annual relapse rates were less than 1 percent each year, and 54 percent less for the lower dose of Gilenya and 60 percent for the higher dose. The study also found slower disease activity and progression.
In the second study, 1,153 people with relapsing-remitting MS were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 0.5 mg or 1.25 mg of Gilenya or a weekly dose of 30 micrograms of interferon beta-1a (Avonex) for one year. The annual relapse rate on either drug was less than 1 percent in this study as well. However, the people on Gilenya had up to a 52 percent lower relapse rate. This study found no significant differences in disease progression between the two treatments.
Both studies found that the lower dose of the drug was better tolerated. A small number of serious infections occurred, including two deaths from herpes infections in these studies. And, there appeared to be a higher incidence of cancer in people taking Gilenya.
Novartis said Wednesday that the FDA approved a 0.5-milligram daily dose of Gilenya.
