| + | == Lockdown lifted as staff returns to work at Golden Grove pri == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>ST. CROIX - After a one-day sickout that crippled the Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility and Detention Center and put the prison into lockdown, Corrections Bureau officials said they have reached a compromise with workers, who returned to work Tuesday. | ||
| + | Acting Corrections Director Basil Richards said in a prepared statement issued Tuesday that 100 percent coverage had been attained by staff at the facility. | ||
| + | Richards placed the facility on lockdown Monday after 19 of 24 custody staff and corrections officers scheduled to work that day did not show up and called in sick for their shift. The action left the prison critically understaffed,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Dodgers-23-Casey-Blake-grey-jerseys-1060/ Dodgers 23 Casey Blake grey jerseys], he said. | ||
| + | On Monday,[http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?campid=5336182395&customid=pubster&toolid=10013&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4pcs-LED-Tyre-Tire-Valve-Caps-Neon-Lights-Bike-Car-New-/220639832483 The Latest SEO Trends This 2013], Richards said that even if the issue is related to work or labor issues, because of the nature of their job and the risk of harm, breach of security and other risks, Corrections officers can not legally go on strike. | ||
| + | A hearing about the sickout had been scheduled before V.I. Superior Court Judge Harold Willocks for 10 a.m. today for a temporary restraining order and a cease-and-desist order that had been requested by Corrections officials. | ||
| + | By press time Tuesday, the hearing still was on the court's schedule,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Denver-Broncos-Men-Customized-camo-Jersey-12778/ Denver Broncos Men Customized camo Jersey], but may not go forward today in light of the resolution. | ||
| + | The facility was approaching normalcy Tuesday afternoon after all scheduled personnel and correction officers reported for work, according to Richards. | ||
| + | "The facility is currently on a modified status while we complete a series of assessments," he said. | ||
| + | Modified status is a more relaxed status than the most restricted lockdown status,[http://park7.wakwak.com/~nymidi/cgi-bin/Y1dicPbUXGVlxwg5TR4vX/light.cgi?res=487 The 3 Stuff That Get With the Way of Your Goals], but it involves some restricted movement and programs in the prison. | ||
| + | Richards said the assessments comprise checks on the status of critical workers and the reinstatement of all programs and services for inmates. | ||
| + | He said he met with union representatives and a number of officers, who indicated that there was nothing to precipitate Monday's sickout outside of already-stated concerns by personnel. | ||
| + | According to Richards' statement, those concerns include the negotiated contract for the last three years and that they are the lowest paid in the nation; infrastructure issues at the facility; lack of security cameras in units; mold in the units; inoperable control panels; inadequate security; lack of security equipment; and lack of other resources needed to fulfill their duties. | ||
| + | "It has further been agreed that in addition to my monthly meeting with supervisors, I will also meet monthly with officers in a forum where dialogue can be had regarding operations and concerns,[http://www13.plala.or.jp/gakuki3/cgi_bin/aska/aska.cgi Preparing for the Trade With an Easy Currency trad]," Richards said in the prepared statement. | ||
| + | A six-person group of officers will be organized to represent the larger body of personnel at the monthly meetings. | ||

| + | == Ultimate Astros Astros’ slumping bats seal loss to == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>ARLINGTON — While Lucas Harrell was getting hammered,[http://www.jamesrick.com/ Aces qualify eight players with contract offers_0], the Astros couldn’t even make a dent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Players that spent pregame interviews acknowledging their 1-9 lineup had been off target the last two weeks — overswinging, hitting as individuals instead of as a team, giving into pressure — showed no improvement once Rangers rookie righthander Nick Tepesch began firing fastballs, curves and sinkers that left the Astros empty and off-balance until they were trailing by eight runs Friday night at Rangers Ballpark. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Astros 4-6 hitters Carlos Pena, J.D. Martinez and Brandon Barnes struck out swinging in the second inning. Brett Wallace, Chris Carter and Pena were erased in the fourth. By the time Harrell had been banished and the Rangers had recorded an easy 10-5 victory during an American League matchup,[http://www2.toua-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/bbs/vbbbs.cgi?res=11942 3 Simple Local SEO Tips and Tricks You Can Use Now], the Astros were closer to their early April offensive futility than they’ve been all season. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Primary cause of skid | ||
| + | |||
| + | During their recent 13-game slide, a club that’s gone just 3-10 since June 21 has been outscored 94-39 and scored three runs or fewer seven times. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “We tend to fall off with the quality of our at-bats,” said Pena, who’s hitting just .217 with a .695 on-base plus slugging percentage. “That’s the thing where now we have to check ourselves and say, ‘No, we’ve got to get back to those quality at-bats over and over again. One after the other, one through nine.’?” | ||
| + | |||
| + | It’s the selective-aggressive attack hitting coach John Mallee preaches and the organization’s front office — which emphasizes on-base percentage and walks — dictates. But it was rarely evident Friday and has been missing the last two weeks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Astros walked on to the field ranked first in Major League Baseball in strikeouts (798) and 29th out of 30 teams in batting average (.234),[http://euskalherrian.info/wiki/index.php?title=Lankide:KevinLee402#Filibuster_nets_Davis_big_campaign_donation Filibuster nets Davis big campaign donation], on-base percentage (.293) and slugging percentage (.376). Seven of the Astros’ starters were hitting .253 or less, five were at .231 or below and Jose Altuve (.288) was the only batter above .269. | ||
| + | |||
| + | While manager Bo Porter regularly pokes holes in the baseball world’s outdated emphasis on batting average, not having hitters who can regularly hit has been at the core of an Astros slide that’s bridged mid-June with early July and positioned the team with baseball’s worst record for its third consecutive 100-loss season. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lineup in limbo | ||
| + | |||
| + | The rebuilding Astros are holding real-time major league tryouts. As a result, a lineup that had been altered 73 times in 86 games often lacks consistency and rhythm. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “We’re letting ‘em play,’ bench coach Eduardo Perez said. “Yeah, we’ve gone through a rough stretch. But at the same time, guys have to go out there and show us what they have. Bo’s done a great job of mixing and matching and giving the guys an opportunity to show what they have, and it’s our job to get them ready for it.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Quick, uneven at-bats are plaguing the team, players said. Jason Castro, Carter and Pena have the ability to draw walks or extend plate appearances,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Yankees-14-Granderson-black-Jerseys-972/ Yankees 14 Granderson black Jerseys], but third baseman Matt Dominguez was hitting just .224 with an OBP of .253. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The majority of Astros hitters are strikeout liabilities — they racked up 10 on Friday. And a club 25 games below .500 ranks last in MLB in batting average with runners in scoring position (.223). | ||
| + | |||
| + | More of the same | ||
| + | |||
| + | The flailing continued Friday. Altuve led off with a single,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Padres-8-Bartlett-dark-blue-Jerseys-1657/ Padres 8 Bartlett dark blue Jerseys], but the Astros didn’t record another hit until the fourth when Castro lined his 23rd double of the season to left-center field. Then he was stranded after Carter and Pena struck out. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “It’s such a paradox. How can you be patient and aggressive? But you can,” said Pena, who had drawn 808 walks in 13 seasons and was signed partly because of his above-average OBP. “We have to learn it. But it takes time, patience and dedication. You can’t just go up and swing. You have to learn how to hit.”</html> | ||

| + | == NEW YORK- Box office- 'Despicable Me 2' routs 'R == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>NEW YORK The minions of "Despicable Me 2" ran away with the July 4th box office, leaving the Johnny Depp Western "The Lone Ranger" in the dust. | ||
| + | According to studio estimates Sunday, the Universal animated sequel took in $82.5 million over the weekend and $142.1 million across the five-day holiday window. Gore Verbinski's reimagining of the iconic lawman bombed for the Walt Disney Co., opening with just $29.4 million over the weekend, and a disappointing $48.9 million since Wednesday. | ||
| + | The trouncing for Disney was especially painful because of the high cost of "The Lone Ranger," which reportedly cost at least $225 million to make. Made by the same team that created the lucrative Disney franchise "Pirates of the Caribbean" (the four film series that grossed $3.7 billion worldwide) the Western drew bad reviews and failed to capture the attention of younger moviegoers. | ||
| + | "We thought it would appeal to a broader audience than it did," Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, said. | ||
| + | Based on the long-running radio program begun in 1933 and the TV series that debuted in 1949, the "Lone Ranger" brand proved a musty one. The audience for the film skewed heavily toward older moviegoers, with 68 percent of its audience older than 25. | ||
| + | "You think that you have everything in place," said Hollis, listing the proven box-office commodities of Depp, Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. "Even when you have all the ingredients for what you think will be a four-quadrant,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Flyers-21-Van-Riemsdyk-orage-2012-Winter-Classic-Orange-Jerseys-18385/ Flyers 21 Van Riemsdyk orage 2012 Winter Classic Orange Jerseys], 'everybody' picture, sometimes it doesn't work out that way." | ||
| + | The poor performance of "The Lone Ranger" called to mind a previous bomb for Disney: last year's similarly-budgeted sci-fi adventure "John Carter," which opened with $30.1 million. | ||
| + | But "The Lone Ranger," which stars Armie Hammer as the masked lawman, will likely fare better than that disappointment, since Depp's international star power should bring in better worldwide business. It started with $24.3 million abroad, opening in about 30 percent of its planned international market. | ||
| + | While critics skewered the film, it did earn a B+ CinemaScore grade from moviegoers. But "The Lone Ranger" is nevertheless likely to be a sizeable write-down for Disney and could impact the company's stock price when markets reopen Monday. | ||
| + | "Everybody beat up on 'The Lone Ranger' pretty hard," said Paul Dergarabedian,[http://www.move-grp.co.jp/p/postmail.cgi Effective Ways from Accurate A Websites Worth], analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "Everything was just not going in its favor." | ||
| + | On the other hand, Universal made "Despicable Me 2" for the comparatively small amount of $76 million (a figure that doesn't count a huge marketing budget). The better than expected haul (along with another $88.8 million overseas) establishes "Despicable Me," which stars Steve Carell as a diabolical villain turned stay-at-home dad,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/All-Star-71-Malkin-red-jerseys-7316/ All-Star 71 Malkin red jerseys], as a new franchise for Universal and Chris Meledandri's Illumination Entertainment, the Universal-backed animation company. | ||
| + | Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal,[http://www.a33e.com/vb/showthread.php?p=150353#post150353 A Brief Look At The Downside Of SEO], attributed the strong performance to Meledandri, the robust appetite for summer family films, and, above all, those teaming little yellow guys. The minions will get their own spin-off in 2014, and Rocco said another "Despicable Me" film is a certainty. | ||
| + | "The minions steal everybody's heart," Rocco said. "It's a great time of the year to release a family film with broad appeal." | ||
| + | Stand-up Kevin Hart's concert documentary "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" proved savvy counter-programming for Summit Entertainment, opening with $17.5 million over five days, with $10.1 million over the weekend. | ||
| + | Fox Searchlight's family comedy "The Way, Way Back" (which also stars Carell) opened in 19 theaters with a strong theater average of about $30,000. It slowly expands for a July 26 national release. | ||
| + | Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday. | ||
| + | 1. "Despicable Me 2," $82.5 million. ($88.8 million international). | ||

| + | == Ultimate Astros Castro’s long ball leads Astro == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>ARLINGTON The first-time All-Star was a one-game hero. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Jason Castro s 427-foot, three-run home run to deep right-center field in the seventh inning Saturday was a game-changer for the Astros,[http://www.ejglobal.com/blog.php?do=showone&type=blog&cid=9&itemid=1081928 Dependable NFL Picks], who powered past the Rangers 9-5 during an American League West matchup at Rangers Ballpark. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Rookies Brandon Barnes and Jake Elmore hit two-run homers and the struggling Astros (32-56) beat the Rangers (50-37) for the first time since a March 31 season-opener. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Less than four hours after being named to the 2013 MLB All-Star game as an American League reserve, Castro again proved why he s been the Astros best overall player this season. He threw out two runners, improved his average to .271 by going 2-for-5 and flipped a game that had been tied by the Rangers four-run sixth inning. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I m at a pretty comfortable place just in my approach and my mechanics, Castro said. Everything s coming together and I ve been happy with some of the work that I ve put in to get me where I m at. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Rangers starter Yu Darvish came one out away from throwing a perfect game against the Astros on April 2. The Astros recorded three runs against the righty May 11, though,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Ravens-20-Reed-purple-Game-Jerseys-19045/ Nike Ravens 20 Reed purple Game Jerseys], and Barnes made it 2-0 Astros on Saturday when he hammered a 1-2 fastball into left-center field for a two-run homer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Darvish was consistently hittable during the initial four innings. Marc Krauss, Jimmy Paredes and Castro collected singles, Brett Wallace doubled down the right-field line,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Ravens-55-Suggs-black-Game-Jerseys-19050/ Nike Ravens 55 Suggs black Game Jerseys],[http://redneckhangout.com/entry.php?167206-Manchester-United-Manchester-United-t-Shirt-go-into-this-step-is-not-easy Manchester United Manchester United t Shirt go into this step is not easy], and Darvish hit 98 pitches before the sixth inning arrived. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I felt like our guys had good at-bats all day,[http://www13.plala.or.jp/gakuki3/cgi_bin/aska/aska.cgi Search Engine Optimization Off page Process], Astros manager Bo Porter said. They managed their at-bats well and really got good pitches to hit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Darvish walked Carlos Pena to load the bases with two outs in the fifth. Krauss then drove an 84 mph slider to right field, scoring two and pushing the Astros lead to 4-0. | ||
| + | |||
| + | While Darvish struggled with command issues, Astros starter Dallas Keuchel was confident and smooth. The second-year lefty allowed just four hits and struck out the same during the initial five innings, holding the Rangers scoreless with a mixture of fastballs, sliders and changeups. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Keuchel was removed with two on and no outs in the sixth. Reliever Paul Clemens turned the ball over to lefthander Wesley Wright, who proceeded to give up a three-run home run to right-center field to righthanded hitter Geovany Soto. The shot suddenly tied the game at 4 and it took Castro s three-run blast in the seventh to give the Astros breathing room again. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Elmore s first MLB home run a two-run rocket to left field in the eighth put the Astros six outs away from their first win against the Rangers since Rick Ankiel was in uniform. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For us to step up tonight is (big). We re not out of this thing, Elmore said. We re rebuilding and everyone knows that. But we re not going to back down from anyone and this is what we do. | ||
