+== Craig Berube tells reporter to ‘get lost’ after ==
+<html>You may not be familiar with Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski by name, but you likely remember him from Craig Berube s introductory press conference on Monday.
+Sielski was the one who asked Ed Snider about the perception created by hiring someone like Berube,[http://www.gzbocaitong.com/thread-1658892-1-1.html Noreena Hertz- Don't get stuck in your own success</ a>,<b><a href="http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale">Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>, who was steeped in a Flyers culture that hasn t won a Cup in 38 years. That line of questioning prompted an already agitated Snider to become only more combative and eventually deliver his instantly famous  line.
+That exchange would lead Sielski to write a piece, published Tuesday, entitled . Here s an excerpt:
+The Flyers lack of patience, their unwillingness to consider a longer view or embrace an innovation before it s already become old hat, their reliance on the tired cliché of Flyers hockey together,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, those factors have created a vicious cycle that has kept them from achieving their ultimate goal.
+The foundations of their franchise,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>,<a href="http://www.wowwiki.ir/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Aqmheyrn7#TV_Timeout-_Fanning_The_Flame" rel="bookmark">TV Timeout- Fanning The Flame</ a>, as Berube said, are character, hard work, competitiveness intangibles that are meaningless without the necessary talent or tactics. They pat themselves on the back, as Snider did Monday, for doing whatever it takes, for acting immediately in the name of chasing championships. Still, they apparently never stop to wonder whether that very approach contributes to their failure to win another Cup.
+Well, Berube either remembered Sielski or read the piece or both because their first postgame interaction on Tuesday night didn t go so smoothly. Berube was asked to address Jay Rosehill s four-minute penalty from the third period, which he said was unacceptable.
+Sielski proceeded to ask if Berube had any punishment in mind, prompting the coach to respond:
+ What do you want me to do? Spank him? Get lost. That talk s stupid.
+The dismissive wave really makes it.
+I m excited for Chief to lead all active coaches in penalty minutes, although there are plenty of other beat writers I d rather see him beat up first.
+Maybe Sielski-Berube can be the new Panaccio-Pronger or Bryzgalov-everybody.

Here's our list of his top ten movies. Comment in the box below and let us know what you think!

+== Let us be grateful for the 2013 Pirates ==
+<html>In 2007, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays won 66 games. They featured a mismatched collection of players, some talented (B.J. Upton, Delmon Young,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, James Shields, Edwin Jackson), some not. They were interesting, but they didn't look anything like a playoff team.
+Before the 2008 season, Nate Silver's PECOTA projection system  that the Rays would win 88 games. At the time, it looked like an off-the-wall prediction, even though most knowledgeable baseball writers thought the Rays (who had by then dropped the "Devil" from their name) were on their way up.
+But with a few deft moves and some luck, the Tampa franchise turned its team from a collection of random talented players into a winner. The 2008 Rays shot way past 88 games, winning 97 and making it all the way to the World Series.
+This Pirates team's turnaround wasn't quite that dramatic, but it was close. 94 wins is a far better result than any impartial commentator should have predicted. And as with the Rays, the recent the Pirates turned the corner is because they turned their collection of talented players into a team. Their pitching staff generated ground balls, and an improved infield defense shifted like mad and gobbled them up. Free-agent signing Russell Martin, and some great coaching, helped a half-dozen pitchers (Charlie Morton, Jeff Locke, Mark Melancon, Vin Mazzaro, Tony Watson, Jeanmar Gomez) post career-best seasons. Gerrit Cole turned into an ace (or a pitcher who, right now, looks very much like an ace) right in front of us. Francisco Liriano and A.J. Burnett, both bargain-basement acquisitions from the American League, were far better than anyone could have reasonably expected when they were acquired. Starling Marte quietly posted a 4.6 WAR season. Marlon Byrd arrived at the August trade deadline and smacked line drives all over the place. Pedro Alvarez hit 36 home runs and somehow even became a pretty good defensive third baseman. Jordy Mercer and Jose Tabata provided more offense than we expected. And, of course, the Pirates had the best player in the National League in Andrew McCutchen.
+A ton went right this year. Just a ton. And so, while the franchise's outlook improved dramatically this season, it may be worthwhile to point out that things may not go quite so smoothly next year. Like the 2008 Rays, the 2013 Pirates were a more talented team than their predecessor ... but, man, this much more talented?
+In the coming weeks, as the 2013 season becomes smaller in the rearview mirror, I hope we'll remember it, and appreciate it. Hopefully we'll have many more seasons like this one, as the Rays have. But we might not. In 2003, the Royals had their first winning season in a decade, but the 2004 Royals quickly went down the tubes. Attendance shrank, and the good feelings dissipated almost immediately. The Pirates are much better built for the future than the Royals were, obviously. But I hope we won't immediately begin taking winning seasons,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, or playoff berths, for granted.
+If those things don't happen right away,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>, let's not forget the stratospheric highs of this season. Let's not forget the Nate Schierholtz / Justin Morneau play that clinched a playoff spot. Let's not forget 40,<a href="http://www.code-tutorials.org/wiki/Benutzer:Fvbvqfnm6#Libya_is_not_failing.2C_PM_Zeidan_tells_Amanpour_.E2.80.93_Amanp" rel="bookmark">Libya is not failing, PM Zeidan tells Amanpour – Amanp</ a>,000 fans dressed in black and screaming, "Cue-to." Let's not forget the Pirates'  of the Cardinals. If next season doesn't go as well as we hope, let us assess the reasons why as clearly as we can. We should not settle for mediocrity, and we should not let sentimentality cloud our vision. But let's not become entitled. We got much, much more than we expected this season. Let's enjoy it as much as we can,<a href="http://wiki.sunyq.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Yprplnxe8#New_California_Law_Significantly_Limits_Workers.27_Comp_Claims" rel="bookmark">New California Law Significantly Limits Workers' Comp Claims</ a>, for as long as we can.</html>
+== 5 things to look for at the UN General Assembly this week ==
+<html>Kerry: Report shows sarin was used
+It's been a hot topic for two years, yet not much has been accomplished. But there's a new sense of urgency to reach a deal on Syria, now with the confirmed use of chemical weapons and the threat of Western force hanging over diplomats' heads.
+In an ideal world, the U.N. Security Council would agree on what to do about Syria, where more than 100,000 people have died in the two-year-long civil war.
+But the Syria conundrum is like a boxing match with unlimited rounds.
+In one corner, countries like the United States and France want Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down. At the very least, they want to be able to use force if the regime doesn't give up all its chemical weapons.
+In the other corner, Russia and China won't stand for any strong action against their ally.
+The clock is ticking.  for the removal of its chemical weapons, but the plan has to be sanctioned as a U.N. resolution.
+And since the two sides can't agree on whether to include the threat of force in the resolution, we'll see if the sparring countries can hammer out a deal before time runs out -- or before more bodies pile up.
+. The Iran overture
+It's become as predictable as General Assembly's meeting itself: Iran's president take the mic, and .
+But this year, the Holocaust-denying, West-baiting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is gone. In his place is Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, who has said he wants to mend fences.
+"We must work together to end the unhealthy rivalries and interferences that fuel violence and drive us apart," Rouhani wrote in  last week.
+U.S. officials are skeptical about the outreach. They want Iran to walk the walk -- not just talk the talk -- on halting nuclear enrichment.
+But Iran's charm offensive,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, apparently spurred by tough economic sanctions, has spurred speculation that Rouhani and U.S. President Barack Obama will meet at the General Assembly. If they do, it'll be the first meeting between American and Iranian presidents since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
+There's no such meeting on the schedule. But the White House says it hasn't ruled one out, either.
+Rouhani will address the General Assembly on Tuesday. Diplomatic corridors are abuzz with speculation that he'll make a dramatic announcement,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>, perhaps offering to close an nuclear enrichment plant or allow inspectors in. We doubt anyone will be walking out.
+. The Mideast dilemma
+Will Palestinians get a step closer this year to becoming a recognized member state?
+Last year, Palestinians won recognition from the U.N. General Assembly as a non-member state. The upgraded diplomatic status gave them access to U.N. bodies. It also raised concerns in Israel that Palestinians would seek membership in agencies such as the International Criminal Court, where it can press for war crimes charges against Israel.
+This year's agenda will include talks on the " in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources."
+Obama will meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, the first time the two have met since direct Mideast peace negotiations restarted earlier this year. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House at the end of the month.
+. The LatAm tension
+Things could get awkward when U.S. diplomats run into some of their Latin American counterparts.
+Brazil had  over reports that the U.S. was electronically spying on the its president's communications. Both countries agreed to  to Washington in October to a later date.
+Venezuela isn't exactly happy with the United States, either. Last week,  of refusing to allow its president's plane to fly through U.S. airspace while en route to China. The State Department denied the claim,  for the plane to fly over Puerto Rico.
+. The no-show ... and the not wanted
+Not all the 193 countries will be represented in New York.
+Kenya recalled its envoy,<a href="http://bbs.popwan.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=917729" rel="bookmark">Int'l Cycling Union Presidential Candidates Clash</ a>, Macharia Kamau, because  has been on trial at the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
+"We very much regret that he cannot be out of the country at the same time as the Deputy President,<a href="http://wiki.ufc-quechoisir.org/index.php/Utilisateur:Hrmmeygi9#Roger_Federer_tastes_double_defeat_at_Shanghai_Masters" rel="bookmark">Roger Federer tastes double defeat at Shanghai Masters</ a>," Kenyan State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu said in a statement.
+The U.N. court accuses Ruto of plotting attacks that killed more than 1,000 people after Kenya's disputed presidential election almost six years ago. He denies it.
+Another leader the International Criminal Court would like to get its hands on is Sudan's president.
+He's wanted for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged role in a five-year campaign of violence in Darfur.
+But President Omar al-Bashir might show up anyway.
+"As I've said numerous times, he has submitted a visa application. We're not going to sort through the considerations underway right now on that application publicly," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Friday.
+There's little the U.S. can do. As the host country, it's generally obligated to grant visas to heads of state, wanted or not.

+== LPGA Hoping France's Evian Championship Fits In As Season's ==
+<html>The tourney measures up to other majors when it comes to its $3.25M purse.The LPGA Evian Championship has "built a reputation among pros for its first-class presentation and amenities, but now there s a whole new standard to measure up to in its first year as an officially designated major," according to Randall Mell of GOLF CHANNEL. For a "number of years now, this event has felt like a major for the Europeans in the LPGA ranks," but there still is "scrutiny over whether this starlet will be a supreme enough examination to be worthy of its new status." The event, founded in '94, became a co-sanctioned LPGA event in '00, with the LPGA "announcing two years ago that it would be a major." The purse is "impressive" at $3.25M, equaling the U.S. Women s Open as the "richest on tour." The largest "question looming over Evian s worthiness as a major is the redesign of the Evian Resort Golf Club" in Evian-les-Bains, France. It was an $8M "undertaking over the last year,[http://www.zipsun.com/form/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2055601 Ghosts and ghouls</ a>,<b><a href="http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale">Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>," and now is a "different and more substantial test that architect Steve Smyers and European Golf Design created in their collaborative effort." Early reviews are that the course is "another year from being what Evian and the architects imagined." The event's elevation to major championship status is the result of Groupe Danone CEO Franck Riboud -- whose company owns Evian -- and his "ambitious vision," as well as LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan s "bold leadership." Whan said, "I grinded over this a long time. If you asked me before I became commissioner how I would stand on designating a fifth major, I probably wouldn t have been in favor of it." He added,[http://www.hzlopal.com/plus/view.php?aid=175168 King's Books events- Oct. 11</ a>, "There was a list of 10 things I really thought kept this tournament from being a legitimate major. ... To Evian s credit, we knocked all 10 off the list" (). <br>
+RISK REWARD: GOLF DIGEST's Ron Sirak wrote if there is "one thing Riboud has proven over the years ... it's that money is no object." Smyers and his crew from European Golf Design "literally worked under the snow and in a little more than 13 months." One thing Smyers has done is "open up the sightlines for the fans," as trees were removed, spectator mounds "were created and bleachers have been eliminated." But Sirak wrote, "Make no mistake about it, there is a lot of risk involved in the Evian Championship. Not everyone liked the idea of a fifth major,<b><a href="http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, saying it messes with the history books." Some felt that with the Ricoh Women's British Open "already in Europe, a new major -- if there were to be one -- should go to Asia" ().<br>
+MAJOR IMPLICATIONS: GOLF CHANNEL's Mell noted to accommodate Evian as a major, the LPGA "moved the event to September, spreading out its biggest events with the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April, the Wegmans LPGA Championship in early June, the U.S. Women s Open in late June and both the Ricoh Women s British Open and Solheim Cup in August." Golfer Angela Stanford said of it being the fifth major,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>, I m OK with it. But you re talking to someone who hasn t won a major. It just gives me another chance" ().</html>

+== Singapore PM criticizes U.S. `game of chicken' ==
+<html>General Electric talks long-term growth
+The U.S. government is also facing an October 17 deadline to raise its debt ceiling or risk a possible default.
+Prime Minister Lee said he was more worried about the long-term message the U.S. was sending than the prospect of a direct hit to U.S. growth.
+Asked if the U.S. would benefit from a system like Singapore's -- where government ministers are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries -- Lee said he believes his country runs a clean system in which officials are paid "what their job is worth."
+He criticized the conflicts of interest that result from the "revolving door" between the United States government and the private sector. Lee is paid more than $1 million to serve as Singapore's prime minister.
+Singapore is heavily dependent on exports and trade, so the fate of the city-state is closely linked with the health of the U.S. economy. Both Singapore's property and stock markets have boomed over the last few years as investors flooded in seeking higher returns thanks to loose liquidity from the U.S. Federal Reserve and China.
+The prime minister said he is comfortable with Singapore's footing as the United Stated considers turning off the flow of easy money.
+"The emerging economies,[http://www.xinlanzhou.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=577026&fromuid=15116 Neymar sparks Barcelona as Cristiano Ronaldo rescues Real Madrid</ a>, many of them are concerned. They didn't want the money to slosh in. They are afraid when the money sloshes out, but the tapering has to take place and we have to be able to manage it," Lee said.
+He also expressed concern over the stiffening tone in territorial disputes between Asia's power players,<b><a href="http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale">Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, including Japan and China.

+== The Art of (Not) Walking Batters ==
+<html>Everyone knows that limiting walks is crucial to the success of any pitcher in Major League Baseball. The most basic stat that tells us how good (or bad) a given pitcher is at limiting walks is BB/9 which essentially tells us how many walks a pitcher gives up per 9 innings. It should be no surprise that some of the most successful pitchers in baseball are those who limit walks. To wit, many of the best performances come from pitchers with low walk rates, which is why 8 of the top 10 pitchers in BB/9 have ERAs under 3.50.
+Allowing many walks is often a sign that a pitcher will not be successful, though this is not always the case. It can also be a sign that a given pitcher is a reliever, but in this case we're focusing on starting pitchers who qualified for the ERA title.
+Enter  and . The latter is one of the best control pitchers in baseball,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, while the former ... is not. Jeff Locke walked 4.55 batters per 9 innings this season, while Lee walked a paltry 1.29 batters per 9. Jeff Locke threw over 160 innings as a starter this season, averaging out at slightly less than 5.2 IP per start. Lee on the other hand threw over 220 innings, with an average over 7 IP per outing. One could surmise that their respective walk rates played some role in this disparity.
+So what exactly is the difference between Locke and Lee? Let's compare them from a PITCHf/x perspective to see how the two men differ, and how they are similar in their approach.
+Jeff Locke features a 4-pitch repertoire including a 4-seam fastball, sinker, change, and curveball. Lee uses 6 pitches to varying degrees, including: a 4-seam fastball, sinker, change, slider,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>, curve, and cutter. Below are two pie charts showing how the 2 pitchers use their pitches.
+As you can see,[http://www.projetozero.com/wiki/index.php/Usu%C3%A1rio:Zeezjhno5#Photo-_Temple_to_wear_Liberty_Bell_on_helmets_in_Cincinnati Photo- Temple to wear Liberty Bell on helmets in Cincinnati</ a>, the two pitchers have slightly different approaches, but both use a heavy dose of fastballs of varying sorts. Lee uses his sinker more heavily than Locke, and also mixes in a cutter about 20% of the time, a pitch that Locke does not throw. Locke on the other hand throws 4-seam fastballs about 35.5% more frequently than Cliff Lee (it's possible Lee doesn't throw a 4-seamer at all, and that these 4-seamers are other pitches that don't move as much, i.e. a flat sinker).
+Both pitchers were successful with the pitches they did throw,<a href="http://www.clickn.com.br/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Neblcedi2#Put_your_clothes_on.2C_Sinead_O.27Connor_advises_Miley_Cyrus_in" rel="bookmark">Put your clothes on, Sinead O'Connor advises Miley Cyrus in</ a>, as you can see below:
+Click to enlarge
+Click to enlarge
+So both pitchers were successful when it came to the pitches that they did throw. Both pitchers have similar repertoires, all things considered. Cliff Lee threw his curveball about 12% less than Locke did, so his lower ratio of offspeed and breaking pitches to hard pitches could have an effect on his likelihood to walk battters.
+That is our first big difference. Locke threw "hard pitches", which are generally easier to command, 64.79% of the time. Cliff Lee on the other hand throws "hard pitches" (4-seam, cutter, sinker) an impressive 75.59% of the time. Hard pitches, which should be easier to command than changeups or curveballs/sliders,<b><a href="http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, make up more of Lee's pitch selection which should lend him an upper hand when it comes to avoiding walks.
+The biggest difference between the two pitchers is how they attack the strikezone. Take Jeff Locke for example. 31.84% of his pitches were inside the strikezone over the course of the season*. This means that 3 out of every 10 pitches he threw were in the zone, and would presumably be called a strike.
+Lee on the other hand threw 47.25% of his pitches in the strikezone. That comes out to more than 15% more pitches in the zone that would presumably be called a strike assuming a batter didn't swing at it. One might assume that Locke had to dance around the zone more because the balls he did throw in the zone got hit harder than Lee's. While true, the difference (86.8% in-Zone contact for Lee vs. 88.5% z-contact for Locke) isn't significant enough to explain the differences we see here.
+Below I've included a side-by-side comparison of the raw # of pitches Lee and Locke threw this past season. You can clearly see that Locke pitched down below the zone frequently, while Lee was much more likely to pound the bottom of the zone:
+Click to enlarge
+With these charts the differences in approach and command become clear. Locke (left) throws a lot of balls down and to the right of the catcher. Lee on the other hand has a much larger percentage of his pitches coming in the strikezone. In fact, Lee seems to use the entire strikezone with the exception of the top corners for the most part.
+The difference is further illustrated when we isolate only the plate appearances where the pitcher delivered a pitch with 3 balls in the count. The charts below show the percentage of pitches both pitchers threw in the following counts: 3-0, 3-1, 3-2:
+Click to enlarge
+Without even looking at the numbers, it's plain to see that the two pitchers have very different approaches to 3-ball counts. Locke's chart shows the most red/purple in the bottom right corner, and he seems to be pitching to the edges of the zone. Lee's chart on the other hand shows a clear desire to avoid walking batters by hitting the strike zone even harder than normal. This is clear simply by looking at the charts, much less diving into the data presented above.
+Cliff Lee and Jeff Locke clearly have different approaches, and different levels of command that impact their ability to minimize the number of walks they give up. While they do have some similarities, the differences become clear when you dive into the locations their pitches actually ended up. Despite their massive differences in BB/9 both pitchers managed to be successful this season. Locke's 4.55 BB/9 may have made it more difficult for him, but he still managed to put up a 3.52 ERA for a club that made the playoffs. Lee's 1.29 BB/9 lead the majors, but unfortunately Lee's 2.87 ERA wasn't enough to get the  over the hump.
+*These figures for Zone% are calculated from Brooks Baseball's zone profile charts. Fangraphs has Locke and Lee at 37.9% and 53.3% respectively.

+== SF Bay Area transit agency, unions resume talks ==
+<html>OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ― A San Francisco Bay Area transit agency and two unions spent the day bargaining Friday, a day after dodging one deadline for a crippling strike as another one looms Monday.
+With state legislators acting as facilitators and BART's general manager listening to proposals much of the day,[http://wiki.torfabrik.de/index.php/Benutzer:Yhxeeieo7#Igloo_celebrates_new_facility.2C_new_jobs_in_Katy Igloo celebrates new facility, new jobs in Katy</ a>, the two sides did not discuss specific developments but said Friday saw a shift that could lead to a weekend agreement.
+"The elements are here that are needed for the two sides to come together," said , executive director for the  local 1021.
+The SEIU and the  1555 agreed to keep negotiating after a 60-day, state-mandated cooling-off period that prohibited a strike expired Thursday night, saying their 2,300 members would stay on the job at least through the weekend. Talks continued into the night Friday and were expected to last well into the weekend.
+If no deal is reached by midnight Sunday, the unions have promised to strike on Monday for the second time in three months,<b><a href="http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>, leaving 400,000 riders on the nation's fifth-largest rail system stranded.
+"I would say it's a very good possibility. Again, we don't know what's going to happen," ATU president  said Friday. "None of us want to strike. The bigger deal is that we want a deal and we think there's a deal to be made."
+The unions said BART General Manager 's presence in talks late Thursday and much of Friday made a difference ― they had repeatedly criticized her for not being more involved.
+"The unions have been clear that they feel that Grace would be helpful in the process," BART spokesman  said. "She's been abreast of all of the developments on a daily basis, hourly basis, sometimes."
+Bryant said they want Crunican at the table "because she's the dealmaker. She's the one who can say yay,[http://stadsbiodling.e2m.io/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mqbdthgt0#Rinaldo_gives_and_then_takes_away Rinaldo gives and then takes away</ a>, nay or whatever."
+Assemblyman ,<b><a href="http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale">Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>, D-Hayward, along with several other Bay Area state legislators helped act as a facilitator to Friday's talks.
+BART links far-flung suburbs to bigger Bay Area cities and provides a crucial link between San Francisco and Oakland riders. BART workers went on strike for 4 1/2 days in July,<b>[http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, leading to crowded buses, jammed bridges and forcing traffic to a crawl before Gov.  mandated the cooling-off period.
+Labor talks initially began in April and have at times been contentious. The two sides have reached agreement on pension contributions but are still at odds over compensation, health care and safety. They would not disclose any specifics citing a gag order by mediators.
+The unions want a raise of nearly 12 percent over three years while BART has proposed a 10 percent increase over four years. BART said workers from the two unions now average about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime annually. The workers currently pay nothing toward their pensions and pay a flat $92 monthly fee for health insurance.
+State transportation officials said they will expand the hours of high-occupancy vehicle lanes should a strike come. BART management has said it would offer limited free charter bus service across the Bay Bridge.</html>

+So much for the Texans Super Bowl season.

+== David Ortiz grand slam rescues Red Sox in ALCS ==
+<html>BOSTON -- With David Ortiz in the postseason,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, it has never been a matter of if. It's always been a matter of when.
+He had played in 14 playoff series over eight years and had at least one hit in all of them. Without a hit in the 2013 American League Championship Series until the eighth inning of Game 2 on Sunday, Ortiz had built up enough pressure.
+He was 0-for-6 with four strikeouts in the series and his team desperately needed him. The Red Sox had the bases loaded with two outs. The Tigers, not taking any chances, brought in their closer,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>, Joaquin Benoit, who had held Ortiz without an extra-base hit in 27 career plate appearances.
+More built up pressure. Ortiz couldn't wait any longer.
+The Red Sox had swung at 12 of 65 first pitches in the series and their patience wasn't paying off. On the first pitch Ortiz saw, he took one big cut.
+He was looking for something offspeed. He got a changeup. And he hit a line drive over the right-field wall and into the Red Sox bullpen for a grand slam. Boston went on to win,[http://www.wikifx.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ghakdugr5#Phil_Rogers-_Swing_in_momentum_could_help_Dodgers_in_NLCS Phil Rogers- Swing in momentum could help Dodgers in NLCS</ a>, 6-5, to even the series.
+"I tell you what, man, postseason is something that it can work both ways for you," Ortiz said. "It can go well if you stay calm. Or it can go bad if you try to overdo things.
+"Like [Saturday] night, pretty much all of us were trying to overdo things. I was trying to produce for the team when the opposition is pitching me very carefully. I was chasing a lot of bad pitches,<b><a href="http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>,<a href="http://www.plastnett.no/wiki/index.php?title=Bruker:Ckvlbvct9#GOP_courts_Hispanics_while_campaigns_ramp_up_immigration_tal" rel="bookmark">GOP courts Hispanics while campaigns ramp up immigration tal</ a>, I feel like I was jumping a little bit. In my first couple of at bats [Sunday], I feel like I was doing some funny things.
+"We've had four days off and sometimes it can go against you when you're not facing pitching. And it happens. It happens to all of us. So we pretty much needed the momentum going. And I think winning this game is going to tell a lot."
+The Red Sox were just about dead in the water, on the verge of becoming the fourth team to get shut out two consecutive games in the postseason since 2000, and ready to face a 2-0 deficit that has only been overcome five times in 42 attempts.</html>
+== Giants to sign Peyton … Hillis ==
+<html>Peyton Hillis will sign with the Giants today.
+ Giants To Sign Peyton it s a headline that would have caused a much greater stir in March of 2012 than today.
+But a source confirmed this morning that the Giants will sign free agent running back Peyton Hillis not Eli Manning s older brother,<b>Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale</b>, who is doing just fine as the quarterback of the Broncos,<b>Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale</b>, of course to replace Da Rel Scott on the active roster.
+Scott was waived with an injury designation Tuesday because of a hamstring injury.
+The move will likely be made official by the Giants at some point today.
+Hillis broke out in 2010 when he rushed for 1,5 Things You Can Do While Watching Television to Help Your Bottom Line</ a>,177 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Browns, a performance that landed him on the cover of the popular EA Sports Madden football video game named after the Hall of Fame coach. He has also spent time previously in Denver and later in Tampa Bay and Kansas City since,<b><a href="" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale</b>,<a href="?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Lzjojbfv3#Mike_Bauman-_Cardinals.27_formula_leaves_little_room_for" rel="bookmark">Mike Bauman- Cardinals' formula leaves little room for</ a>, failing to repeat anything close to that kind of production.
+The Giants will also sign rookie Jeremy Wright to their practice squad. He played at Louisville and departed for the draft despite having a year of eligibility remaining. Wright was with the Giants in their rookie mini camp this spring and was released in June. He signed with the Steelers and spent two weeks with them in the preseason.
