22-year-old mother opens dance fitness studio
As a Moffat County High School cheerleader, Christalin Thompson limited her thoughts of becoming a professional dancer to daydreams.
Now 22 and a single mother in Craig, she's living bigger.
"I always wanted to do something, but I never thought anything would ever happen with that," Thompson said, standing inside her new dance studio downtown. "I have to get a goal. I have to do this."
On May 12, Zumba Fitness opened its doors at 29 W. Victory Way for the first session.
Her business plan is to start simple. Two dance fitness classes a week.
The classes themselves are less straightforward.
Thompson is a certified Zumba instructor. An excerpt from her business' flier describes the classes this way:
"Zumba fuses hypnotic musical rhythms and tantalizing moves to create a dynamic workout system designed to be fun and easy to do!"
Thompson is equally as enthusiastic about what she offers.
"It's an amazing class," she said. "People will enjoy it. They'll have a blast. They'll be addicted."
She knows because she only recently fell under Zumba's spell.
After graduating from high school in 2006, Thompson spent about 14 months in California. By chance, she started working out at a Zumba class, and within three months she was hooked by the mix of Central and South American dances, such as merengue, reggaeton and salsa.
She said she came back to Craig and found there was nothing like it.
"I could see all the changes, and it was actually fun," Thompson said. "I love to be fit, but I hate working out. I've had hundreds of gym memberships and never used them."
She's taken that philosophy to all aspects of her studio. There are no mirrors on the walls, usually hung so dancers can monitor and perfect their form.
"This is supposed to be fun, and you want to be loose," Thompson said. "If you're watching yourself in the mirror, trying to make sure you do everything perfect, you're not having fun.
"We want to make this a place for stuff that's offered at a gym, but it's not in a gym atmosphere, because people are scared of gyms."
In the future, she plans to expand into other fitness routines. Then, she'll invite other residents to start their own dance classes.
Some already have approached her with ideas for children's programs and salsa instruction.
Her worries about local residents not wanting to dance to more exotic beats have lessened after seeing the zeal customers already have shown in her studio.
It feels good to be a small business owner, she said, a feeling evidenced by the enduring bright and toothy smile she had before Tuesday evening's class.
It hasn't been easy. Finding cheap rent space was tough, but she landed a big, open space close to downtown. The only catch is, she and her boyfriend, Josey Haskins, 27, have put more money and sweat into remodeling and repainting the inside.
"It's been hard to get everything together, and it's still not done," Thompson sighed, gesturing to the wall-to-wall carpet and remarking she hopes to put in wood floors when she has the chance.
It's all for more than success and profit, she said. It's about more than realizing her long-held but only recently admitted dreams of a dancing career.
Thompson is a single mother first, and she wants to be with her boy, Riley, who turns 3 next month.
"Being a single mom, it's hard working a 9-to-5 job every day," she said. "It's too hard being away. This will let me be with him during the day."
Thompson knows she is taking a risk, especially considering her responsibility toward Riley. She plans to keep working outside the studio as long as she has to, but she doesn't plan to fail.
"It's difficult, but you can't have that kind of attitude that something's going to go wrong," Thompson said. "You have to dream big, right?"

Knowledge is design, and design generates knowledge.
Digital technologies have led to major changes in how we perceive and in what we know. They permeate our processes of design to an ever greater degree: setting parameters, guiding and structuring our own actions, and shaping and influencing our knowledge of both the physical and virtual worlds. Thus far, however, we have failed to realize the extent to which the objects themselves—formed by human, technical, or natural means—actively model and help shape the very knowledge that they bring forth.
This catalog, which covers multiple disciplines and eras, examines the demands that scientific, technical, and social developments place on design. Its essays explore artistic, natural, scientific, and engineering processes in addition to formative processes in society and politics.
How do the materials and tools of design leave their mark on the processes and results of scientific research? How do they change our ways of thinking? And how do they influence the shaping of both the environment and humans themselves? In short: what agencies do images and objects, materials and forces develop? These are the fundamental questions addressed by the essays in this book.

Tent cities are more than just a standard form of protest — they also build community and social ties, and help empower people.
That's the view of Harsha Walia, a Downtown Eastside activist.
"It's a DIY kind of space," said Walia.
"You don't have to stand in a food line — everyone is involved in preparing food. That's a big part of tent cities, and that's what is often missing from the conversation."
Walia added that besides their use as vehicles of protest, tent cities go up "because people without homes have to live somewhere."
The temporary settlement in Oppenheimer Park is a very visible reminder of Vancouver's growing homelessness problem. Such camps also call attention to squalid living conditions at rundown SROs.
Several tent cities have sprouted in Vancouver over the last decade, from the Woodward's squat and the Olympics tent village to the current encampment at Oppenheimer Park.
At the heart of these protests have been the issues of homelessness and housing standards.
That's not surprising, said Coun. Kerry Jang, whose portfolio for the city includes homelessness.
"Homelessness is very top of mind in Vancouver. We are going to see more protests and concerns about homelessness in the city, and that's why it's a priority for us," Jang said.
Vancouver isn't the only Canadian city dealing with tenting protesters. Victoria and Abbotsford have had homeless camps in public parks, igniting debate on how to deal with homelessness and the appropriate use of public spaces.
According to Vancouver bylaws, camping in public parks is not allowed because it blocks others from using the premises. But the bylaw lost its teeth after a pivotal B.C. Supreme Court decision in Victoria in 2009 that allowed the homeless to camp in public parks if there were no alternative shelters available.
Oppenheimer Park, 2014
Outcome: Unknown
When the city issued eviction notices to homeless people sleeping in the park on July 15, protesters moved in and claimed the land as unceded First Nations territory. The city's most recent makeshift camp has about 40 tents, including a teepee and a fire pit.
Cause: Homelessness. Activists lashed out against the city for failing in its pledge to end homelessness, which is at an all-time high in Vancouver. Street homelessness spiked to 538 in the latest March 2014 count.
Camp Lasted: Two weeks and counting.
What happened: Ongoing. City and housing officials are working with people in the camp to find homes. The occupation at the park has displaced this weekend's Powell Street Festival, but organizers have said they do not support the eviction of protesters.
Occupy Vancouver, 2011
Outcome: Loss
One of the longest and largest protests in the city, Occupy Vancouver took over the Vancouver Art Gallery's north plaza on Oct. 15. The camp's sophisticated setup included a first aid tent, a library, portable toilets, a stage, a food tent, and about 100 to 150 tents.
Cause: The local spinoff of an international movement against corporate greed and economic inequality.
Camp Lasted: Five weeks.
What happened: With a mishmash of demands and no clear or realistic goals, the movement wore out its welcome. The overdose death of a 23-year-old woman in a tent triggered a public backlash. A court injunction ordered an end to the encampment. The group moved on to Robson Square and Grandview Park, but did not last long. Price tag for taxpayers: nearly $1 million.
Olympic Village Tent City, 2011
Outcome: Loss
To mark the one-year anniversary of the successful Olympic tent city in 2010, about 75 activists marched to the Olympic Village in February and tried to establish a tent village in the square and plaza. Protesters demanded more social housing, with some wanting all unsold Olympic units converted to social housing.
Cause: Social housing. The number of social-housing units in the prime waterfront location was slashed from 252 to 126 after the city stepped in to bail out the project's developer.
Camp Lasted: Hours.
What happened: Activists were ordered off the private property by police. Snow and freezing temperatures didn't help.
Olympic Tent City, 2010
Outcome: Win
Three days after the Winter Games' opening ceremony and with hordes of international media nearby, about 40 people set up a makeshift tent village on a vacant Concord Pacific lot on East Hastings.
Cause: Homelessness; increasing gentrification of the Downtown Eastside. The group later honed their demands: To provide housing to homeless occupants in the tent village.
Camp Lasted: About 14 days.
What happened: The tent city folded March 1 when campers voluntarily left after permanent housing was found for them. Many housing activists hailed the outcome as a victory.
Victory Square Squat, 2003
Outcome: Loss
Protesters occupied Victory Square on July 2, the day Vancouver's winning Olympics bid was announced. After a few weeks some of the squatters left out of respect to veterans and moved into a string of city parks, including Crab Park, Thornton Park, Stanley Park and Creekside Park.
Cause: Organized by anti-poverty groups, the squat pushed for more social housing and protested changes to welfare rules.
Camp Lasted: About four months.
Outcome: The Victory Square squat angered veterans. Moving from park to park didn't help, either. The Crab Park protest displaced a summer kids' camp program, while fire risks posed by campers at Stanley Park raised public ire. Permanent residents near other park squats complained of crime, drug dealing and defecation in their neighbourhoods.
Woodward's Squat, 2002
Outcome: Win
On Sept. 13, about 50 people began squatting inside the empty and provincial-government-owned Woodward's building to protest the lack of social housing. After a court injunction booted them out, defiant protesters set up tents and tarps on the sidewalk outside.
Cause: Social housing.
Camp Lasted: Nearly three months.
Outcome: The Woodward's squat is largely credited with triggering the redevelopment process of the landmark building, which opened in 2010 as a mixed-use project with more than 200 social-housing units.
All Seasons Park, 1971
Outcome: Win
About 30 hippies built a shantytown near the Georgia Street entrance of Stanley Park to protest a plan by the Four Seasons chain to build a hotel at the site, dubbing it "All Seasons Park." In one encounter with police, the protesters barricaded themselves inside a tent and argued they had a "prospecting permit" for the land.
Camp Lasted: Almost a year.
Outcome: On April 20, 1972, police forced the squatters out, while a backhoe knocked down the flimsy shelters. But the group's vocal protest roused enough public opposition to the development. After years of discussion, the site, wedged between Stanley Park and Coal Harbour, was turned into Devonian Park.

Sports Management Students Learn Professional Lessons at Syracuse UniversityWednesday, March 19th, 2014
Senior Sports Management students recently received a first-hand look at the behind-the-scenes operations of Syracuse University's Manley Field House and the Carrier Dome. Students taking Applied Sports Event Management and Applied Sports Media and Broadcasting courses also learned event management operations during a Division I Men's Basketball game.
Among the highlights of the tour were visiting the ESPN production truck which was on site to live broadcast the men's basketball between Syracuse and Boston College. ESPN producer Anthony Holeman walked the students through the truck and explained every detail that went into broadcasting a game.
The students also met with several of Syracuse University's facility managers and given an-in-depth tour of the Carrier Dome. Starting at halftime, the students became part of the SU operations crew as they assisted in all stages of the transition to convert the Carrier Dome back to its turf flooring to ready for lacrosse games the following day. The SUNY Canton students made a memorable impression with their hard work after the game being referred to as "rock stars" by one of the SU athletic assistants.
"This was a tremendous opportunity for the students to not only see the behind the scenes operations of a major Division I program and be an active part of it," said Diane J. Para, sports management program director. "The Carrier Dome staff members were tremendous. We can't thank them enough for giving up their time during a very busy work night. The students were very impressed and came away with a new respect for doing that job. Learning from professionals what they have heard in the classroom is a valuable component to the learning process and we are very thankful for the opportunity afforded to the students by Carrier Dome Managing Director Peter Sala, and his staff."
Matt Metcalf, who teaches the Sports Media and Broadcasting class in the Sports Management program echoed similar praise to the ESPN crew. "Having the students walk into an ESPN production truck an hour before going live was an incredible opportunity and the ESPN producer could not have been more gracious and accommodating," said Metcalf.
Former Syracuse volleyball player and assistant coach Carol LaMarche, who now serves as the SUNY Canton head women's volleyball coach, arranged the tours.

Did You Watch Jerry Punch Host The Atlanta Rain Out?
The ESPN2 coverage of Sprint Cup qualifying has been rained out. The network has put Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree on-the-air from the Infield Pit Studio.
The result is that TV viewers finally get to see Punch working in the role that suits him best. He hosted the rain delay programming and did a great job.
What you do think? Did you watch this show?

This seems to fit DJP, he seems to be relaxed but not in a mono tone kind of way .I always said DJP was really good on NASCAR on ESPN only in it's first carnation. They should try a swap with AB, you got to figure he can't be all that happy, he is smart and knows racing, so he know's his place of expertise, the PxP is just not it. I'm an auto mechanic ,but I'm no autobody mechanic,everybody has their niche .ESPN let Dr. Jerry Punch have his with some pride and dignity .

Man, are they going to wear out those Shifting Gears tapes or what? Every time something goes awry with Nascar, just shove the good old Shifting Gears into the playback machine.
- October 24, 2008 at 8:04 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
The reason is because ESPN has the right to play back the Shiftin' Gears programs.
They do not have the rights to other shows like NASCAR Confidential or any other NASCAR Media Group program.
This should be a good lesson for them to build their rain delay inventory for next season.

I guess that really shows to those of us who have been commenting on this for so long that they desperately need to switch Jerry Punch and Allen Bestwick. He did a much better job with the little bit that I saw him working from the pit stuido.

Finally - newer viewers/fans of NASCAR get to see why us "Oldies"
have been telling espn to put Doc where he is best!
Doc was animated, engaged, never at a loss for words & animated. Viewers could see & hear he was enjoying what he was doing, he sounded at ease - actually he sounded like himself!
I hope the suits of espn saw the telecast & took notes.

I just watched my dvr of the rain-out. It makes me wonder if ESPN is purposefully setting Dr. Punch up for failure. It is so obvious where he belongs, why force him to do Pxp?

Went to the DVR to watch what I missed and enjoyed it very much. JP has got a great sense of humor and obviously is in his element doing interviews and in-studio stories. Too bad he's misused in his current position of PxP. The swapping of AB and JP would make racing on ESPN almost watchable.

Hosted by Lipsy Lost and Found, my Wednesday post gives you a taste of what I'm reading this week. A similar meme is run by Taking on a World of Words.
Last book I finished reading :
When Jake Boulder is asked by his PI friend to help investigate the vicious murder of Kira Niemeyer, he soon finds himself tracking a serial killer who selects his next victim in a most unusual manner.
As the body count rises, Boulder has to work with the police to identify the heinous killer before more lives are taken. What ensues is a twisted game of cat and mouse, that only Boulder or the Watcher can survive. But who will it be?
The book I'm currently reading :
Elementary school teacher Jacqueline "Jacks" Morales's marriage was far from perfect, but even in its ups and downs it was predictable, familiar. Or at least she thought it was…until two police officers showed up at her door with devastating news. Her husband of eight years, the one who should have been on a business trip to Kansas, had suffered a fatal car accident in Hawaii. And he wasn't alone.
For Jacks, laying her husband to rest was hard. But it was even harder to think that his final moments belonged to another woman—one who had left behind her own grieving and bewildered fiancé. Nick, just as blindsided by the affair, wants answers. So he suggests that he and Jacks search for the truth together, retracing the doomed lovers' last days in paradise.
Now, following the twisting path of that fateful road, Jacks is learning that nothing is ever as it seems. Not her marriage. Not her husband. And most certainly not his death.
What I'm reading next :
Abandoned as children, Kat and Jamie were inseparable growing up in foster care. But their bond couldn't protect them forever.
From a troubled upbringing to working in a London greasy spoon, Kat's life has never been easy. On the surface Jamie's living the high-life, but appearances can be deceiving.
When they unexpectedly reunite, their feelings become too intense to ignore. But as secrets come back to haunt them, are they destined to be separated once more?
Have you read any of these? Thoughts? What are your reading plans this week? Anything I must add to my TBR for the book shortage apocalypse? It's totally a thing! Be prepared!

Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID or passport.
The renter must present a personal credit card, valid in the country of pick-up with enough funds to put a hold for a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car rental company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The rental company will place a hold in the amount of the security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher on the card provided at the rental location.
You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the rental location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as vehicle availability within the group selected.
Car rental companies reserve the right to refuse service to underage or unlicensed drivers, those with poor credit history or individuals otherwise considered liabilities by the rental company.
Car rental insurances are usually called Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) and Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and cover against damages made to the car in case of an accident.
Third party insurances are usually called Additional Liability Insurance (ALI). Generally, they cover damage made to someone else's property in case of an accident involving the rental car.
Also known as credit hold, a security deposit is necessary when you pick-up your rental car. The deposit is "blocked" on the driver's credit card and "unblocked" after you return the car in the same conditions.
It is possible to add optional items to your reservation, such as GPS, child car seat, booster seat and more. Add them to your booking now so you don't have to worry about it later!
If someone else is sharing the wheel with you, they need to be added to the car rental agreement as an additional driver and comply with the same car rental requirements, such as minimum age and documentation needed.
Check your reservation for the information about unlimited or limited mileage. Unlimited mileage means you can ride how much you want without paying any extras. Road trip saved!

Straw into gold. Water into wine. Servant into princess. It's a longstanding obsession of human myth-making: turning one thing into another thing -- a lowly thing into a vaunted thing -- by way of miracle or magic.
Well, someone get Joseph Campbell. Because science has just found another way to bring the Rumpelstiltskin story to life. And to the life, specifically, of your electronics. A collective of researchers from the U.S., Finland, Germany, and Japan, working with the U.S. Department of Energy, has developed a way to make metal out of the straw of the contemporary world: cement. The process they discovered, published yesterday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, transforms liquid cement into a kind of glass-metal fusion that is exceptionally good at conducting heat and electricity. The resulting hybrid, the scientists say, can be used as a semiconductor in electronics: it offers good conductivity, low energy loss in magnetic fields, better resistance to corrosion than traditional metal, less brittleness than traditional glass, and fluidity for ease of processing and molding.
Which means that your gadgets -- their liquid-crystal displays, their protective coatings, their computer chips -- may soon be made, in part, of cement.
So how, exactly, do you turn masonry into metal? The scientists made use of a phenomenon known as electron trapping -- a condition that occurs when the free electrons in polycrystalline materials are, yep, "trapped" in the cage-like structures that form around them.
The team, under Chris Benmore, a physicist from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, studied mayenite, a rare calcium aluminium oxide mineral that features, importantly, cubic symmetry. They melted the mayenite at temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius using carbon dioxide laser beam heating*. They then processed the resulting liquid within different atmospheres to control the way oxygen would bond in the resulting glass.
For that -- and this was key -- Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, led by a team under Benmore, developed a technique for suspending the material. The group used an aerodynamic levitator to levitate the hot liquid in the air, preventing it from touching container surfaces and forming crystals. The suspension, in turn, let the liquid cool, unimpeded, into a glassy state that could trap electrons in the form necessary for electronic conduction.
And voila! A glassy semi-conductor. Cement, made metallic. The scientists, from there, used a supercomputer to determine the best conditions for creating glass that could optimally conduct electricity at room temperature.
The process may not be limited to glass, however. There could be other materials capable of transforming themselves into semiconductors through
magic finely honed scientific techniques. "This phenomenon of trapping electrons and turning liquid cement into liquid metal was found recently, but not explained in detail until now," Benmore put it. "Now that we know the conditions needed to create trapped electrons in materials, we can develop and test other materials to find out if we can make them conduct electricity in this way."
*I updated the language here to make clear that the carbon dioxide was functioning as the gain medium for the laser beams in question. Thanks for the note, @samohtsivraj.

When in doubt, send the puck in front.
The old adage paid off for the Avalanche twice in the third period and again in overtime as Gabriel Landeskog's second goal of the game sent Colorado to a 3-2 comeback win over the playoff-hopeful Columbus Blue Jackets.
Landeskog recorded the tying goal with 4:57 remaining in regulation and capitalized on Colorado's only power play of the game when his pass intended for Nathan MacKinnon went off Columbus defenseman Nick Johnson and into the net with 33 seconds showing.
Brad Malone was credited with Colorado's other goal, while Semyon Varlamov made 24 saves for the Avs, who stand three points ahead of the Blackhawks for fourth place in the Western Conference with seven to play -- one more than Chicago.
Columbus, which still holds the second of two wild card spots in the Eastern Conference, picked up a much-needed point despite the collapse.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 25 saves while Blake Comeau and Cam Atkinson scored for the Blue Jackets.

I Anibal Paz is nearly surrounded. The sergeant and his squad of 15 or so Marines are crouched behind the crumbling mud walls of a small Afghan compound taking fire from three directions. Hiding in the tree line to the south, guerrillas pepper the Marines with automatic weapons fire. From a cornfield to the west come more AK-47 bursts. Most worrisome, though, are the bullets whizzing in from a squat building in a second compound a few hundred yards to the southeast. These are sniper shots from a bolt-action rifle. Unlike the AK barrage, they get closer with every round.
Paz barks at his soldiers to return fire. His urgent, gravelly voice doesn't quite match his boyish face with its smooth, round cheeks, long eyelashes, and tidy black mustache. Paz, the son of a Portuguese Special Forces soldier, was raised in Fall River, Massachusetts, and grew up to be a self-proclaimed "Masshole," true to his Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox. He did two tours in Iraq and took part in the Marines' biggest battle in a quarter century, 2004's invasion of Fallujah. To his surprise, he's finding Afghanistan even more relentlessly violent than Iraq: His unit, Echo Company, has traded fire with the Taliban three out of every four days it has spent in this small farming community, called Mian Poshteh, roughly 100 miles from the border of Pakistan's Balochistan province.
A bullet whizzes just left of Paz. Then another to the right. He waves over a Marine carrying a backpack-sized radio and grabs the green handset. "We're receiving accurate fire from the compound!" he shouts over the rattle of machine gun bursts.
It was supposed to be a simple mission. Paz and his squad were told to hunker down at this compound — a collection of broken adobe buildings with a dusty, tree-shaded courtyard called Moba Khan — for a day and a half, monitoring the area to see who came and went. A small reconnaissance team had the hard part: ambushing a group of Taliban who, the Marines had learned, would be meeting in the next compound up the road. But the attack didn't go smoothly. There were more militants, and more guns, than anticipated. In the ensuing firefight, two Marines were shot and four more were injured by an improvised explosive. The recon team successfully made it back to the company's nearby headquarters and nobody died, but it was a matter of luck and quarter-inches. Since then, Paz and his squad have been battling the insurgents. Mortars, artillery, and rockets from Cobra helicopters have all failed to stop the Taliban assault.
What's Next in National Security
A pair of F-15 jets circle overhead. Cameras on the bellies of the aircraft capture the standoff: the opposing compounds, the tree line to one side, the fields between. The images are relayed to Echo's headquarters, a burned-out schoolhouse just over half a mile away surrounded by sandbags and mortar tubes. Inside the school, Eric Meador, the company commander, leans over a small table and looks at the footage on a laptop. Meador is on the small side — 5'9", 140 pounds — and is a bit quirky for a Marine officer. A former Mississippi cop from a family of musicians, he has a weakness for chewing tobacco and reality TV — he keeps a picture of Kate Gosselin on one wall of the schoolhouse. But he radiates authority, and in the command post everyone focuses on him. Meador asks air controller Josh Faucett to review the standoff. "This is where the friendlies are," Faucett says, pointing to the screen. "This is where we think the sniper is." It's a building in the northern compound, next to the main east-west road.
The next step seems obvious: Call those F-15s and have them reduce the Taliban's positions to rubble. That's how the Marines took out insurgents in Fallujah in 2004. Hell, it's how they went after the Taliban in August 2008. But it's August 2009, and today Meador is not sure.
A month earlier, just as Meador, Paz, and 4,000 other Marines were getting ready to move into Helmand province, the US military modified its counterinsurgency strategy. Incoming top general Stanley McChrystal issued strict guidelines forbidding air strikes except in the most dire circumstances. The number one priority in Afghanistan, he declared, was to secure the population so normal life could resume. The US needed to rob the militants of popular support, he argued. Dropping bombs only disrupted lives and drove people into the arms of the Taliban. So civilian casualties from air strikes had to stop — immediately.
The directive has required a radical shift in the approach to Afghanistan. For most of the first eight years of the war, the US and its allies relied heavily on air power to keep militants in check. US aircraft, the generals believed — with their precision bombs, sophisticated targeting, and sheer omnipresence — could minimize the number of troops required to wage the war. The problem is that air strikes — even with maximum precision and care — can alienate the people needed most for a successful counterinsurgency campaign. America's mightiest engineering accomplishments — drones and smart missiles — are actually impediments to the social engineering required in Afghanistan. So with a single stroke, McChrystal took the US's biggest technological advantage off the table. The military would have to make do without one of its most potent weapons.
It hasn't been easy. While accidental civilian deaths dropped by 87 percent in the eight weeks following the order, American fatalities have more than doubled from 2008 levels. And to make the plan work, McChrystal will get 37,000 more US and NATO troops. At the highest levels of the Obama administration, many top officials pushed to remake the Afghanistan campaign in the mold of the Pakistan air war next door: more drone strikes and fewer troops to get caught in the cross-fire. Soldiers can only do so much to rebuild this rugged society from the ground up, they argued. Let the drones take the lead, fighting this conflict from the safety of the skies. But for now, McChrystal's approach has won out. He travels to Capitol Hill in early December to defend his war plan.
While the debate rages in Washington, the Marines on the ground are mostly on their own. Even with Paz's squad being attacked from three sides, a bombing run is not automatic. The Marines not only have to prove that civilians won't be hurt, they also must guarantee that the bombs won't so much as scratch civilian homes.
Back at Echo's schoolhouse headquarters, Faucett stares at an aerial view of Moba Khan on his tablet computer. He sees a problem: The building Paz has identified as the sniper's perch is next to several farmhouses. "Man, the target house is right on the edge of that village," Meador says, rubbing his shaved scalp with the palm of his hand. If he orders a strike that hits a farmer's kid instead of a sniper, the Taliban will have some angry new allies, and the brass will be apoplectic. Meador wants to protect his men. But he also can't be sure who or what a bomb would hit. Meador tells Faucett to wave off the F-15s — and hopes he hasn't made a serious mistake.
II A year ago it would have been easy for Dave "Smoke" Grasso and Sean "Sticky" Flor to come to Paz's rescue. But today the pilots linger on the tarmac of a clandestine air base, hundreds of miles outside Afghanistan, in their tan flight suits and Top Gun shades (Grasso completes the look with his brown hair trimmed into a flattop). Next to them sits their plane, a B-1 bomber, perhaps the most lethal flying machine in the US arsenal. It is capable of delivering up to 48,000 pounds of bombs in a single sortie — enough to obliterate the enemy outpost at Moba Khan, the cornfield, the tree line, and everything else in the vicinity. But this destructive hardware is now largely kept leashed.
Before McChrystal issued the new restrictions on bombing, Grasso and Flor had two main jobs: They would demolish fixed targets — Taliban hideouts identified by aerial or on-the-ground intelligence — or, alternatively, they played "roving linebacker," dashing over to wherever American troops were in trouble and eliminating that trouble. If there was a choice between killing Taliban and saving some locals' homes, the buildings got it. If it was a choice between killing Taliban and saving some locals ... well, let's just say they dropped a lot of bombs. "This guy here," Grasso says, pointing at Flor, "was a bomb-dropping machine." Twice, during a single mission, Flor has dropped all 12 of his 500-pound bombs and all eight of what he calls his 1-ton "crowd-pleasers."
They hit their stride in the summer of 2008, with the air war at its peak. The US unloaded 587,000 pounds of ordnance in June and July of that year — as much as was dropped in all of 2006. Not surprisingly, there were accidents. In July, a bombing in Nangarhar province wiped out 47 civilians on their way to a wedding party, including the bride. In October, a coalition air strike hit an Afghan army checkpoint in Khost province, killing nine soldiers.
This naturally enraged the Afghans. By November, president Hamid Karzai was calling for a radical de-escalation to the air war: "The fight against terrorism cannot be won by bombardment of our villages."
The Americans politely blew off these demands. The US had viewed air power as its most important advantage in this war since 2001, when a fleet of bombers and fighter jets — and minimal US ground forces — helped rout the Taliban. In 2008, with roughly 30,000 troops patrolling a country the size of Texas, the US was still heavily reliant on air strikes. Not only is Afghanistan 50 percent bigger than Iraq (where, it should be noted, the US had five times as many forces), but much of the country's terrain is so rugged that the only way to attack targets is by air. Collateral damage was seen as a necessary evil.
At least, this was the attitude until last May. That's when a B-1 and a pair of F/A-18Fs came to the aid of a group of Marines and Afghan soldiers locked in a shoot-out with militants in Farah province. The Taliban hunkered down in an area teeming with hundreds of civilians. Over the course of the standoff, the B-1 pilots dropped three 1-ton munitions and five 500-pound bombs. The pilots believed they were unloading on buildings that had been emptied of women and children. They were wrong. "It was like Judgment Day," one witness told Human Rights Watch. "Who can bear to see so many killed, from a two-day-old baby to a 70-year-old woman?" Dozens of civilians died. President Obama promised to "make every effort to avoid civilian casualties" in the future. Later that month, he named McChrystal the new commander for the Afghanistan war.
On July 2 — after two weeks on the job — McChrystal issued his new "tactical directive."
"We must avoid the trap of winning tactical victories — but suffering strategic defeats — by causing civilian casualties," he wrote. This didn't just mean minimizing the number of bystanders killed — it meant not having any. Under McChrystal's rules, units were even supposed to consider retreating from a fight rather than calling in an air strike.
These days, Grasso and Flor spend most of their flying time using souped-up video cameras to monitor action on the ground — without unloading their weapons. Pilots still have vital roles to play — ferrying supplies, surveilling hostile terrain, zooming over convoys in hopes of intimidating potential attackers — but dropping bombs is increasingly not one of them. Grasso says he's on board with the new directive. "Every time I drop a bomb and kill one innocent Afghan, I set the war back — even if I killed 100 Taliban," he says. And maybe, Grasso admits, he was a little overeager to drop bombs last year. "When you've got a truckload of food, everyone looks hungry. So when everything looks suspicious, when you're looking for suspicious stuff, you almost want it to be suspicious."
That's not to say complying is easy. "It's frustrating, sitting up there, knowing guys are on the ground, getting shot at," Grasso says. "You're a roving linebacker. But they keep running the ball out of bounds."
On the tarmac, a maintenance crew loads a rack of 500-pound bombs into his B-1. A public relations officer offers me a white marker, asking if I want to sign one of the munitions. No thanks, I say. Grasso takes the marker. "Bring the hate," he writes.
III With the F-15s gone, Paz and his squad must fend for themselves. Luckily, the Taliban fighters don't press, and after a few hours the shooting peters out. The sun begins to set. Knowing the militants are still out there somewhere, the Marines squat in the compound courtyard, swatting away mosquitoes and eating MREs. Paz and the unit's ranking officer, Patrick Nevins, set up a schedule for the night; the Marines switch off doing two hours of guard duty, then grabbing two hours of sleep.
As day finally breaks, the Marines are running low on food and water, so Nevins plans a resupply mission. He will take most of the squad with him, and Paz will stay with a team of four to defend the compound. It's about 10 in the morning when Nevins and his men file out the back of the compound, alongside an irrigation ditch.
At 10:15 bullets explode from the southern tree line.
Normally, the Taliban fire in quick bursts and then pause before shooting again — a sign of unschooled, undisciplined fighters. This time, it's a sustained stream of fire. And as soon as it ends, another barrage starts from the cornfields. This is a coordinated attack, orchestrated by someone well versed in infantry warfare. And judging by the number of guns firing, that pro might have as many as 15 or 20 men — triple the number of Marines left at Moba Khan.
Paz tells his radioman to get ahold of Nevins. But all they hear is static. Paz tries to maintain his composure. What about Meador? If they can reach him, there's a decent chance of finally getting some air cover. Again, no response; the radio is dead. "Get that up," Paz screams at his radio operator, "or we're done!"
IV One of the ironies of McChrystal's directive is that the military's ability to plan and execute precision strikes — with minimal loss of civilian life — has never been better. In fact, the Air Force has a set of tools and protocols so finely tuned that even Human Rights Watch praised its "very good record of minimizing harm to civilians" during the height of the 2008 bombing campaign. But under the new rules, air strikes became a tactic of last resort — no matter how methodically targeted. So planned assaults against fixed targets have become rare.
A few days before the standoff at Moba Khan, I got to see how the target-approval system works. The demonstration took place inside a top-secret annex to the Combined Air and Space Operations Center — the heart of US air operations — located on the same base where Grasso and Flor are stationed. (In exchange for access to the facility, I agreed to withhold some details, like certain names and its exact location.)
An officer, I'll call him Paul, walks me through the process. It starts with "targeteering," figuring out where a pilot should attack. Just getting GPS coordinates or an overhead image isn't good enough. GPS is unreliable when it comes to altitude. And landscape and weather conditions can throw satellite pictures off by as much as 500 feet. "Even with Gucci imagery, there's always errors," Paul says. He points to a pair of screens: On the right side is an aerial image of a building. On the left, two satellite pictures of the same place — taken from slightly different angles — flicker in a blur. Paul hands me a pair of gold-rimmed aviator glasses. I put them on, and those flickers turn into a single 3-D image. Paul compares the 2-D and 3-D images, then picks exactly where the building should be hit. Depending on elevation, adding a third dimension can shrink a 500-foot margin of error down to 15 feet.
Step two is "weaponeering," deciding how to strike the target. Paul clicks on a piece of software that simulates what a particular weapon will do to a structure. To demonstrate, Paul punches up a simple 3-D representation of an adobe building, similar to the ones in the Moba Khan compound. Then he picks how he'll attack it: an F-15E jet armed with a 500-pound satellite-directed bomb. He picks a corner of the roof as his aim point. The program starts running. In a few seconds, it predicts how the attack is most likely to unfold: Only one wall of the building will be left standing.
Other tools calculate how far a weapon's blast and shrapnel will spread and how many people might be in the area at a given time of day. Paul's team also checks a Google Earth map highlighting all the known hospitals, mosques, graveyards, and schools in Afghanistan. If the target is too close to one of these, ground commanders will scrub the mission.
A worldwide network backs up the targeteers. Spy drones, flown remotely by pilots in Nevada, keep watch on an area to confirm that militants are really around and women and children aren't. That footage is beamed around the world to imagery analysts, who scour the video for civilians and off-limits sites. "We're always finding a mosque or two," Paul says. Finally, military lawyers and intelligence specialists compare the drone's views to radio intercepts, informants' tips, and intel from recon teams on the ground.
Taken together, it might be the most precise, most sophisticated system for applying lethal force ever developed — the Platonic ideal of how an air war should be run. The problem, of course, is that all these steps take time — time to wait and watch silently through a drone's eyes, time to marry up the images, time to run the simulations.
Such strikes used to take place a few times a week — despite the fluid nature of the Afghan counterinsurgency. But under McChrystal, the system has become even more rigorous. To get a strike approved in advance, ground commanders now need to provide the top brass with multiple sources of intelligence showing that there are only militants and not civilians, proof that there's no other way to go after a target, and even a plan to justify the bombing to the locals. Not surprisingly, these requirements rarely come together.
The only bombs that get dropped these days are those used to protect "troops in contact" — soldiers currently engaged in a firefight. But because these events are sporadic and unpredictable, there just isn't time to involve Paul and his team. This creates something of a paradox: The most precise, humane air strikes are off limits, while the most risky, least controllable bombing runs continue (albeit under tighter restrictions).
When I visit, Paul and his crew sit idle, passing the time running and rerunning simulations. Meanwhile, the real war rages hundreds of miles away.
V Paz and his four fellow Marines try to hold back the Taliban assault — without support from the air and without the rest of their squad. The radio operator frantically screws and unscrews his antenna, trying to bring his gear back to life. Suddenly, a bit of the wall behind him explodes: sniper shots.
After five minutes, the radio inexplicably crackles back to life. Paz exhales in relief. "We're taking enemy fire," he says into the handset. "Be advised, have only a fire team and myself."
A half mile away, inside the schoolhouse, Meador tells his team to get the mortars and artillery ready. (It's fairly easy to call in mortars, artillery, and attack helicopters — even though those are less precise than strikes from a fighter jet. The difference, of course, is the size of the blast.) "If you want us to shoot something, let us know," the captain says. Paz does. Lots of things, actually. Starting with that sniper. "Stand by for direction and distance," he says. He gives the coordinates. A flurry of 60-millimeter mortar rounds fly at his enemies, each landing with a thud.
Paz asks Meador to fire again — this time on the Taliban's exit routes. Meador calls in artillery, shot from a mobile firebase in the western desert. The shells hit the ground and send shock waves through the Marines' chests. Then more mortars. Then artillery again. But every time, the pattern is the same: a brief pause, followed by more sniper shots. What they need is a 500-pound bomb.
With the situation worsening, a pair of Harrier jets are summoned. J. P. Larkin, an air controller at the schoolhouse, tells the pilots to survey the scene at Moba Khan. The Harriers swoop past the tree line and the compound, transmitting video back to the schoolhouse. Larkin taps his tablet computer with a stylus and a pair of still images appear onscreen. He's using a system called PSS-SOF — short for Precision Strike Suite for Special Operations Forces, and pronounced "piss off." It's a kind of dumbed-down version of the tools used by targeteers.
Larkin has the jets point their cameras at a small, square building on the compound's northern edge, where they think the sniper is. The approach looks good, so Larkin radios back to the battalion command post, about 10 miles away, to get approval for the Harriers to bomb the sniper's perch. The battalion calls back to the commanding officers at the brigade headquarters, who check with headquarters in Kabul and, finally, the main air operations center.
"Sir," one of Meador's lieutenants asks, "you want to drop this bomb, right?"
Meador picks up a plastic bottle, puts it up to his mouth, and spits tobacco juice inside. He glances around the room, then takes another look at the Harriers' videofeed. "I'm still trying to develop the situation," he says.
After more than a day of combat, Meador is pretty sure he's got the Taliban's tactics figured out. First they go to the tree lines and the cornfields to shoot. Then they regroup inside the compound and let the sniper go to work. The key is to drop the bomb when the militants are in the building.
Larkin, holding the radio handset to his ear, receives word from the battalion. "Mission's approved," he tells the other Marines. Meador's still not convinced the time is right, though. Under McChrystal's rules, he'll likely have just the one chance to take out the sniper. He rubs his temple. "I don't want to waste this," he says. "How much longer has this guy got?"
Larkin checks with the pilots. Bad news: The Harriers are running low on fuel and have only 10 minutes before they have to leave.
Meador goes over the bomb's detonation pattern one more time with Larkin. It'll be on a timer, puncturing the building's roof, then detonating. That should bring down the whole place, crushing the sniper and anyone else inside.
After all the planning, waiting, and hand-wringing, this is the best they can do.
At 11:50, Meador finally gives the OK. Larkin tells the Harriers: "Cleared hot."
"It's off," Larkin announces to the room. "Twenty-eight seconds."
Larkin and Meador stare at the Harrier's videofeed, which stays fixed on the target. The seconds tick by. Then a plume of smoke shoots from the hostile compound. Dust engulfs the screen. "Fuck your building, bitch!" Larkin screams. Direct hit.
Moba Khan goes quiet.
"Receiving no more fire," Paz radios Meador.
Seventeen minutes pass. Then the AKs open up again. Followed by a sniper. Did they miss? Is this a second sniper? Nobody knows.
There won't be a second run, so Meador calls in more mortars, artillery, and helicopters.
Eventually Meador is able to reinforce Moba Khan, and the Taliban back off. After a third day, he deems it quiet enough to bring Paz and his squad back to the schoolhouse. But Meador sends another squad to replace them. And then another squad to replace that one. At press time, attacks in the Mian Poshteh area have diminished, and Echo Company has returned home. As a new crew of Marines branches out to work with the population, they know that the militants could ambush them at any time—with no guarantee of a 500-pound backup.

An edit conflict occurs in the rare situation when two or more users start to edit the same part of a page at the same time and make significantly different changes when they hit Publish.
What happens, and how do I avoid edit conflicts with others?
The second editor to press Publish will be told that there is a conflict due to someone else saving the page since they started editing it.
You can click on the yellow banner to read the rest of the notification:
The easiest way to resolve an edit conflict once it happens is to add your edits into the version that was saved before you attempted to save yours. When the edit conflict window appears, you will see a box with your version of the page as well as the most recently saved version. Note that the text that is in red on the edit conflict screen is yours, but it is not in the article yet. You will need to manually re-add that to the page. You can copy it from the bottom box, where your text is, and paste it into the main editing screen. Then press Publish and your edit will be added too.
Also remember that while edit conflicts do have the word "conflict" in the name, they're not a fight or an argument. No one purposefully got into an edit conflict with you, so remember to assume good faith and not become involved in any arguments over the edit conflict. It was just a case of bad timing!
How did I get in an edit conflict with myself?
This occasionally happens if you edit, Publish, and then hit your browser's "Back" button to go back to the edit box. You can avoid it by using the "edit" button to open a new instance of the edit box rather than using "Back". Another possible cause of this is if you clicked the "Save" or "Publish" button twice, causing two revisions to be submitted.

How to live your life in full potential. Master Life Management
In today's modern world, stress is part and parcel of every day. It is a growing concern of each individual living on this planet earth. There are a number of factors that contribute to stress. There are numerous tools and program available on the internet to get rid of stress. Apart from this, people take advice from doctors to get rid of stress.
Here is one company called Maximized Living and a Chiropractitioner by Dr. Chris Niedzinski. Maximized Living concept was founded by Dr. Ben Lerner and Dr. Greg Loman. These simple tools have been practiced by many people and have been benefiting them immensely.
The main objective of Maximized Living is living fully for better health and wellness. It is not just the concept—but also your ability to achieve that level of excellence. The Maximized Living Health Center is a place, where people can go and receive the best care for removing the obstacles to optimal health and to achieve balance in their body and in their lives. The goal is to demystify health and create one place you can go and not just get "better" but more importantly–get well.
In today's world, people are more stressed or depressed due to some thing or the other. Here are some factors that contribute stress:
- Chemical toxicity (medications, environmental, heavy metals, biotoxins, nutrition). These all directly alter organ function and hormone production. Most antidepressant medications significantly INCREASE depression and stress.
- Physical nerve stress will damage the nervous system directly and limits the control of organ function leading to decrease in hormones that reduce stress
- There is a deficiency of nutrition which accumulates stress on body and our internal system
- Limited exercise and movement. This limits the oxygen ability of body, leading to cellular dysfunction and disease. It is no doubt that exercise alone can drastically reduce stress.
- Relationship and workplace stress. Marital problems, job difficulties, etc. all create physiologic change. Skin, heart rate, digestion, hormone, energy change with emotions.
- Improper time management skills (one of the biggest factors)—we are living in a rushed, emergency-centered world. We are busier than we are successful.
If you look at the above causes, then it'll only add stress and you'll be more depressed. So, we need to heal our brain in a systematic way to eliminate stress. You can never eliminate stress, but can learn new techniques to build peace.
Fixing the above points one by one will not solve the problem, we require an internal biostructural changes. Maximized Living involves a unique biostructural alignment approach, and also promotes natural, drug free living and optimal nutrition for your body, allowing it to perform at optimal levels. When your body is in this state of wellness, it becomes self-regulating. It will actually heal itself in most cases, and all you have to do is not interfere with it. That entails avoiding harmful foods and substances that will get in the way of your body's natural processes. It also means taking care of your body, staying active and keeping fit.
Using the Five Essentials, Maximized Living helps to remove the obstacles to wellness, and restore your body to the balance it naturally seeks:
- Minimize your exposure to toxins (Eg: medications & refined foods)
- Maximize nerve supply. All life and function revolves around this—all else is negligible.
- Maximize the quality of your nutrition. Not diet, but making better choices of nontoxic fuel.
- Maximize oxygen and lean muscle As little as 12 minutes per week! (www.12minutemakeover.com)
- Maximize peace and relationships. Anger Management, Peace Management, Reprogramming Perceptions (the art of overcoming, moving from pain to purpose), and Effective Time Management
Literally thousands of people across the country have transformed their lives (and stress) with these easy principles. If you would like more information please click here.

If you're a Twitter fan, you might be interested to know about a new stand-alone Twitter client based on Microsoft's WPF. Named Witty, the application leverages the API released by Twitter developers to exist outside the Web browser.
WPF, or Windows Presentation Foundation, is the "next-generation" presentation sub-system for Windows (our own Peter Bright discussed it in detail last year). Formerly code-named Avalon, it is built into Windows Vista by default, providing developers and designers with a unified programming model for building rich Windows clients. To date, though, WPF apps have been few and far between (though they do exist).

Advance Scout: Syracuse
The Bisons finished their eight-game roadtrip south, 3-5 against Gwinnett and Charlotte. The roadtrip began with a four-game split in Gwinnett and finished dropping three of four against Charlotte. The Bisons return home for a Thruway Series homestand opening a two-game set against Syracuse and facing Rochester over the final three games.
6/29 7:05 PM: RHP Erik Arnesen (2-3,3.48) vs RHP Dillon Gee (6-5,5.31)
6/30 1:05 PM: LHP Matt Chico (3-3,3.50) vs RHP Tobi Stoner (3-7,5.16)
vs. THE CHIEFS: The Bisons are now 1-5 against their Thruway Series rival this season. Syracuse won the first five games of the season series in 2008 and 2009. Dating back to last season, the Herd is just 5-17 in their last 22 against the Chiefs. Going back to 2008, Buffalo has just five wins in their last 20 games against Syracuse at Coca-Cola Field.
DID YOU KNOW: Three players remain on the active roster from the Opening Day Chiefs lineup (Duncan, Maxwell and Orr).
CAROUSEL: The Chiefs have used 16 different starting pitchers this year. The newest addition to the rotation was Jason Jones, who was signed last month. More Chiefs relievers have made starts this season (3) than there are opening day starting pitchers remaining on the roster (1).
CATCHING UP: Over the eight days, the Chiefs have a 4-4 record in games against Charlotte and Pawtucket. Syracuse has been outscored 32-31 in those games. In the first twenty-one games of the month of June, Syracuseas been outscored 78-65.
THE LAW OF AVERAGES: Syracuse's batting average against Pawtucket is its worst against any team in the IL North. The Chiefs are batting .251 as a team on the year, but only .226 against Pawtucket. Syracuse is hitting .305 against Rochester, their best against any indivision opponent.
RUN AWAY: The Chiefs 8-1 loss was their most lopsided margin of defeat since May 10th against Louisville. The most Syracuse has been outscored by this season is 11 in a 13-2 loss at Columbus on May 1st.
READY TO SCORE: After an 0-7 day with runners in scoring position Sunday, the Chiefs are now .249 with RISP for the season. Heading into the finale with Pawtucket, Syracuse was 8-46 (17%) with runners in scoring position. The Chiefs went 5-10 (50%) with runners in scoring position Monday during the 9-4 win.
LEONARDO de JUNIO: In the month of June, Leonard Davis has hit all of his seven home runs. He is second in the Nationals farm system with 12 home runs between Double-A Harrisburg and Syracuse.
STREAK SNAPPERS: The Chiefs have still not lost four games in a row. Wednesday's 2-1 win over Charlotte snapped a three game losing streak. The only other team to not have lost four consecutive is Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Chiefs are 2-0 when having lost three straight.
In front of a packed house at Coca-Cola field, Syracuse Chiefs starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg showed Buffalo why he was worthy of the number one draft pick in the 2009 MLB Entry Draft. Strasburg pitched five masterful innings, allowing only three hits and no runs in his last minor league start. Strasburg showed his famous fastball early and often. Topping off at 99 mph and keeping it in the upper nineties for the majority of the day, Strasburg was able to blow his fastball by the Herd for five strikeouts. Strasburg was able to keep the Herd off balance for the good portion of his start by using his fastball and then mixing it up with his breaking ball which was kept in the low eighties and even reached 79 mph. He was also able to keep the International League's leader in home runs and RBI, third baseman Mike Hessman in check. Strasburg was able to keep the "Loch-Hess" Monster at bay by striking out Hessman and getting him to fly out in the two at-bats they faced each other. Hessman eventually went 0-4 on the day. Strasburg was able to get run support from his teammates early when second baseman Pete Orr hit a two run home run in the second inning to take the lead, one the Chiefs would not relinquish for the rest of the game. Orr hit his seventh home run of the season on a 3-2 pitch from Bisons starting pitcher Dillon Gee over the right field wall to give the Chiefs a 2-0 early lead. Strasburg was even able to help out his own cause when he singled to center off of Gee in the fifth inning. He was then driven home when Chase Lambin grounded back to the pitcher, allowing Strasburg to score. Gee, the Bisons leader in wins and strikeouts on the season pitched six innings and allowed seven hits in the losing effort. In his six innings of work the Chiefs were able to score five runs on Gee, but due to two errors by Bisons first baseman Mike Jacobs only two runs were earned. Gee had a great command of the strike zone however, by punching out seven batters and improving on his total for strikeouts to 61 for the year. Strasburg left the game after the fifth inning, throwing 89 pitches on the day with 54 of them being for strikes. Strasburg ended his tour through the Minor Leagues with a 4-1 record and a 1.08 ERA in his six starts in Triple A. After Strasburg had left the game the Herd were still unable to produce any offense. The only run the Bisons would score would come in the eighth inning after center fielder Jesus Feliciano hit a two-out double to extend the inning. Feliciano was then driven home by a single from second baseman Justin Turner for his eleventh RBI of the season. Feliciano provided the majority of the offense for the Herd on the day. Feliciano collected two of the five hits the Bisons had as a team as he went 2-4 on the day and improved his league leading batting average to .388.
A long night that featured an hour and 58-minute rain delay, 11 pitchers not named Stephan Strasburg and the ejection of a hurler with seven strikeouts in the fourth inning, the Bisons fell to the Syracuse Chiefs, 6-3. More important than the final score, however, was the players that had to be removed from the Herd line up during the contest -catcher Josh Thole and infielder Daniel Murphy. Thole's exit came just four batters into the night. Josh Whitesell swung and missed at an offering from Buffalo starter Bobby Livingston and his bat caught the Buffalo backstop upside the head on the follow through. Thole walked off under his own power, but had to be replaced by J.R. House. Then, after seven innings and nearly a two-hour rain delay, Murphy suffered his injury while trying to turn a doubleplay. Syracuse's Leonard Davis slid hard into second base to break up the play and caught Murphy in the right leg. After getting up onto his feet, Murphy was helped off the field by his teammates. After the game, Bisons manager said Murphy was pretty banged up on the play. He also said that Thole would not start on Thursday, but thinks he'll be alright. The bizarre twists of the night began in the fourth inning with Bisons starter Bobby Livingston on the mound. With a 1-0 lead, the southpaw had struck out seven of the first 12 batters he faced. Livingston then hit Whitesell with a 77mph curveball and was immediately ejected, even though it appeared that Whitesell openly agreed that he didn't think the off-speed plunking was intentional. Still, Livingston was forced from the game despite not allowing a ball to reach the outfield in 3.1 innings of work. After the long rain delay, the Chiefs scored three runs in the seventh and eighth innings for the 6-3 win. Syracuse's Boomer Whiting bases-clearing triple in the eighth provided the game-winning runs.
Pat Misch just keeps delivering quality start after quality start. The southpaw dealt seven strong innings on Tuesday night to lead the Bisons past the Syracuse Chiefs, 4-1. Mike Jacobs and Mike Hessman added home runs as the Herd defeated their Thruway rival for the first time in 2010. Misch improved to 5-1 on the season and lowered his ERA to 2.83 -ninth best in the International League. He allowed just five hits and no walks while tying a season-high with seven punchouts. The lone run he allowed in the sixth inning was the only base runner to advance past third base all night. Misch retired 16 of the first 19 batters he faced. Overall, he threw 71 of his 100 pitches for strikes. The quality start was his team-leading seventh of the year, and his fifth consecutive. With Misch's dominance on the mound, the Bisons scored the only runs they would need in the first inning. Hessman knocked in his 54th of the season with an RBI grounder. Three pitches later, Jacobs crushed a 2-0 pitch from Chiefs' starter Shairon Martis into the berm in right-center for a two-run homer. The blast was Jacobs' sixth of the season. Seven innings later, Hessman provided some very loud insurance. The league's top slugger vaulted an offering from reliever Victor Garate into the parking lot beyond Oak St. It was Hessman's 18th home run of the season. Bobby Parnell closed out the impressive win for his third save of the season. The reliever retired all six batters he faced with three strikeouts.
Southpaw starting pitcher Jon Niese made his Major League rehab start today at Coca-Cola field when the Herd opened their four game series with the Syracuse Chiefs. Niese pitched well and left the game with the lead but the bullpen could not hold it for the left hander as the Bisons lost 7-4 for their third straight loss. The Chiefs scored six unanswered runs for the second straight day after the Herd jumped to an early 4-1 lead. The Bisons bullpen had a rough afternoon dealing with the Chiefs. Relieving Niese was right hander Jose De La Torre. De La Torre had a day he would like to forget as he allowed all four batters he faced to reach base. Chiefs shortstop Pedro Lopez started the comeback when he led off the seventh with a double left field. Pinch hitter Kevin Mench reached base with a single and second baseman Pete Orr followed suit by also singling and driving home Lopez. De La Torre then made a throwing error to first trying to get out center fielder Boomer Whiting who bunted to try to advance the runners. De La Torre was then relieved after his error by Adam Pettyjohn to try to limit the damage. Pettyjohn took the mound with the bases loaded and no outs and was able to hold the Chiefs to only one more run. The Chiefs would get another run in the eighth when Lopez homered to left center off of Pettyjohn and picked up two more runs in the ninth to put the game out of reach. For the Bisons, first baseman Daniel Murphy was the catalyst for all four runs the Herd scored on the day. Murphy singled in the first inning to drive home shortstop Ruben Tejada to give him his sixth RBI of the season and the Bisons an early 1-0 lead. Murphy then doubled in the third inning to again drive home Tejada and second baseman Justin Turner to pick up his seventh and eighth RBI of the year. Murphy then accounted for the fourth and final run of the day for the Herd when right fielder Russ Adams drove home Murphy when Adams singled to right field.
Syracuse completed a two-game sweep of the Herd at Alliance Bank Stadium with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night. The Chief's Chase Lambin had four hits and three RBI to lead the Thruway rival to victory. Lambin was the thorn in the Bisons side, even after the Herd took an early 2-0 lead on Mike Hessman's third home run of the season and a sacrifice fly from Ruben Tejada. Lambin's RBI-single in the bottom of the second inning scored Chris Duncan for the Chiefs' first run. Two innings later, Lambin doubled home another run, tying the score at three. In the sixth inning, Lambin's third hit on the night drove in Duncan again and gave Syracuse their first, and only, lead of the game. Tobi Stoner (0-1) suffered the defeat for the Herd, allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings of work. He struck out just one batter. Ike Davis singled, but went just 1-4 at the plate. It's the first game in 2010 the Bisons' first baseman has not reached base twice. Fernando Martinez finished the game 2-4 with his second double of the season. Mike Hessman now has 314 career minor league home runs. He has 22 more home runs than any other active player.
The Bisons' three-game winning streak came to an end in Syracuse on Monday night as the Chiefs collected a 9-1 victory over the Herd. Buffalo is now 3-2 with one game to go on their season-opening six-game roadtrip. Errors and strikeouts were the culprits in the Bisons' second loss of the season. Herd batters fanned a season-high 13 times, making it virtually impossible for the team to string together a rally. The Bisons' lone run came in the second inning as Ike Davis led off the frame with his second home run of the season. Davis also singled in the game and has now reached base at least twice in each of the team's first five games. The Bisons have five home runs in five games this year after having just 80 in 143 games last season. Syracuse, meanwhile, put together the big inning with a six-run fifth inning that knocked starter Bobby Livingston (0-1) from the game. All six of the runs were unearned and came with only two hits in the inning. Already leading 3-1, Chiefs' outfielder Marvin Lowrance led off the frame with a grounder that got under Ike Davis's glove at first. Livingston then hit a batter and walked the bases loaded before two runs scored on an error from third baseman Mike Hessman. Pete Orr's RBI-single made it 6-1 Syracuse and forced manager Ken Oberkfell to go to his bullpen. The Bisons turned to Kiko Calero, but Syracuse's Chase Lambin turned on Calero's first offering for a three-run home run to right field. When the sixth inning was over, the Chiefs had scored six runs on two hits, a walk, a hit batter and two Buffalo errors.

VANCOUVER — David Eby claimed victory in Vancouver-Point Grey early this morning, unseating Liberal Premier Christy Clark. His campaign manager Kate Van Meer-Mass sent a two-word text message that Eby read aloud to supporters crammed into his West Broadway campaign office around 1 a.m.: "We won."
For most of the night Clark trailed David Eby, a former B.C. Civil Liberties lawyer who she had also bested in a byelection two years ago after Premier Gordon Campbell resigned.
By the time all 147 ballot boxes were counted around 1 a.m., Eby had beaten Clark by 785 votes — 10,162 to 9,377, according to Elections B.C.
Clark made no reference to her own battle in Point Grey during her victory speech, but Liberal advisers said on background that if Clark loses her seat to Eby they expect one of the Liberal MLA-elects will step aside to create a byelection for her.
"What a night, what a night," Eby said, addressing a crowded room of supporters, staff and volunteers in attendance at the Kitsilano restaurant serving as his election night headquarters.
"It's bittersweet so far," he said, noting the Liberals were projected to win another majority.
It's relatively rare in Canada for a premier to lose their seat while their party gains government, but it has happened. In 1985 Robert Bourassa's Liberal government won power but he lost to a Parti Quebecois candidate. He later was elected in a byelection in a Liberal stronghold. And in 1989 Don Getty lost his seat in Alberta. He was re-elected in a byelection in Stettler.
"I've got to say we're incredibly excited about the results that are coming in. We did a really hard push on the advance poll," Eby said. "There are 6,000 votes in that poll, so we're a long way from knowing how our result looks tonight."
Clark faced a sustained campaign by both the NDP and third-party groups such as environmentalists who targeted her riding over the Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan oil pipeline proposals.
Advance voter turnout in Point Grey was much higher than in the 2011 byelection when Clark won by 564 votes. There were 39,998 registered voters for this election, and 5,901 of them cast an advance ballot, a 30 per cent increase from 2009 when 4,379 cast ballots.
It was the advance poll in 2009 that carried Clark, trailing in regular polls, into office.
Colin Hansen, the Liberals' deputy campaign chair, said that During the election campaign Clark spent much of her time flying around the province trying to rally voters to her cause. But she faced criticism — mostly from the NDP — for not spending more time in her own riding. She campaigned only a few times in Point Grey, and mostly when it fit into an already-cramped election schedule.
But Clark made no apologies for that, saying she believed voters in Point Grey, having had Gordon Campbell as their MLA for 15 years, understood the importance of having a premier as an MLA.
She also told reporters that the issues her riding faced, from transit and transportation to jobs to concerns over pipelines and oil tankers, were the same issues the rest of the province also faced.
The other two party candidates in the riding, BC Conservatives' Duane Nickull and Green party's Raunet, appeared not to be really factors in the riding.
Clark has repeatedly said she believed her main opponent was opposition leader Adrian Dix and his New Democrat party platform, not Eby. She refused to debate him during the 2011 campaign, and during this one was rarely seen, telling reporters she believed her constituents would vote for her because she was premier.
The premier does not live in her riding; Eby moved there in 2011. The former director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and former lawyer for Pivot Legal Society in the Downtown Eastside isn't a familiar face in the riding's tony neighbourhoods or UBC campus, either. But Eby attended the all-candidates debates, which Clark skipped.

The Luzhkov bridge (the official name Tretjakovskiy) in Moscow is a pedestrian walkway that spans the Vodootvodny Canal. Dotting the bridge are iron trees cloaked in padlocks bestowed by newlyweds. It has become a Moscovite wedding tradition to clasp a padlock inscribed with ones wedding date and initials onto these trees thereby symbolically locking their union with the toss of the key into the canal below.
Quote from: weihen on June 11, 2012, 11:08:25 PMThanks to yykris,A cluebox spotted in MoscowA girl found a young M/F team doing a task about unlock(pretty look like RB in Xi'An leg,S6)...and later she saw a middle-aged M/M team arrivingNever really looked into this The only famous place in Moscow where this could take place is a bridge on the Vodootvodny CanalThese 'iron trees' are layered with love padlocks, just like the location in TAR6 in Xi'anHere's a photo of one of the trees in Moscow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moscow-love-padlocks.jpg^ Notice the tiles formation in the above link is the same as in the photo of the spotted clue box, but that could just be a coincidence...
Thanks to yykris,A cluebox spotted in MoscowA girl found a young M/F team doing a task about unlock(pretty look like RB in Xi'An leg,S6)...and later she saw a middle-aged M/M team arriving
Now this could be the DUMBEST theory ever, but listen up.weihen told us that the source said it looked like the TAR6 RB in Xi'an but it was in Moscow, RussiaThis could be just me, but I think that is definitely one of the most infamous Roadblocks in TAR history.My point is, do you think it's possible that the 'infamous switchback in the Netherlands' could be a dodgy CBS misprint and is supposed to be 'infamous switchback in Russia'? Also, the press release did not say whether this switchback Roadblock previously took place in the Netherlands last time it appeared CMIIWSo it could be an RB from any country but it's re-appearing in the NetherlandsIDK, just putting this out there because I don't think any of the RBs we've had in the Netherlands are infamous nor memorable, except TAR12's, I remember watching that
