Spring Peeper
Scientific Name: Pseudacris crucifer
Description: Spring peepers are small tree frogs. They are shades of tan, brown, green or gray, with smooth skin, lines that form an X on their backs and a white to cream-colored belly. They are well camouflaged to look like tree bark and have some ability to make themselves lighter or darker in color to better match their surroundings. They have dark bands on their legs and a dark line between their eyes. The flat, terminal pad on each toe allows them to grip onto plants, while their webbed hind feet supply support. Although they are good climbers, they spend most of their time on the ground. They often hide during the day under leaf litter and come out to feed in the afternoon and evening. They are rarely seen, but during mating season in the spring they are often heard. Their high-pitched, loud and piercing call can be deafening to humans when they congregate.
Size: They are generally 1 to 1.5 inches in length, about the length of a paper clip. Their weight will average from 0.11 to 0.18 ounces.
Diet: The adults generally eat beetles, ants, flies and spiders. Tadpoles feed on algae, detritus and microorganisms.
Predation: Snakes, salamanders, large carnivorous insects, raptors and other birds prey on adult spring peepers. Tadpoles are eaten by aquatic invertebrates and salamander larvae.
Typical Lifespan: Spring peepers are said to have short lives, living three to four years at most.
Habitat: They live in moist wooded areas, fields and grassy lowlands near ponds and wetlands. They mate and lay their eggs in vernal pools, ponds and other wetlands without fish.
Range: Spring peepers can be found from southeastern Canada throughout the eastern United States, south to northern Florida and west to Minnesota and eastern Texas.
Life History and Reproduction: Spring peepers hibernate during the winter in soft mud near ponds, under logs and in holes or loose bark in trees. They begin breeding early in the spring. Males congregate primarily near vernal pools and ponds and start singing to attract a mate. The faster and louder they sing, the greater the chances of attracting a mate. Females lay anywhere from 750-1,200 eggs attached to submerged aquatic vegetation. Males fertilize the eggs as they are laid. Depending on the temperature, eggs can hatch within two days to two weeks. The tadpoles have gills to breathe underwater and tails to help them swim. The tadpoles metamorphose into frogs over the course of six to twelve weeks.
Communication: Spring peepers are known for the males' mating calls—a high-pitched whistling or peeping sound repeated about twenty times a minute. They often sing in trios, with the deepest-voiced frog starting the call. They call on warm spring nights and during the day during rainy or cloudy weather.
Fun Fact: They are very tolerant of cold conditions. Spring peepers can withstand freezing during winter hibernation due to a natural 'antifreeze' in their blood.
Conservation Status: Spring peepers are common and widespread. However, loss of wetland habitat does pose a threat. Populations are decreasing in some areas.

If Workers Are Out of Shape, Should Companies Make Them Pay?
When it comes to health and wellness, workers shouldn't expect an "A" for effort alone.
As the Journal reports, a growing number of employers are turning to harsher medicine, penalizing workers who don't meet certain wellness requirements.
For years, companies dangled rewards to coax employees into completing health assessments and screening. But those efforts failed to produce results, they say.
Here are just a few examples of companies that are already taking action:
- CVS Caremark recently announced that workers who fail to report their weight, body fat and cholesterol levels to the company's benefit firm will be fined $600.
- Honeywell International Inc. introduced a $1,000 penalty for employees who go through with certain types of surgery without consulting a company support program, which lays out other options.
- At Michelin North America, employees who have certain size waistlines or high cholesterol could pay up to $1,000 more for health coverage next year.
- Mohawk Industries charges employees a $100 monthly penalty if they don't participate in a health-risk assessment.

About two-thirds of older Americans depend on other people or devices to complete routine daily tasks, a University of Michigan study found.
The researchers interviewed 8,000 men and women age 65 and older to see how they performed activities such as going outside, getting out of bed, eating, and dressing. They asked whether these activities were completed with any assistance from devices such as walkers, grab bars, or wheelchairs, or whether they received help from a caregiver within the last month.
Nearly 25 percent said they complete tasks on their own using assistive devices such as walkers, and 18 percent said they use these aids but have trouble performing activities. An additional 21 percent got by with the help of a caregiver, and 6 percent said they have reduced activities of daily living, for example showering less or not walking as much. The older respondents were, the more likely they were to rely on devices or people for help.
BOTTOM LINE: As many as two-thirds of older Americans depend on other people or devices in order to complete daily tasks.
CAUTIONS: The study relied on interview responses from participants, which may not always be accurate.

Light exercise linked to decreased risk for kidney stones
As little as three hours a week of light exercise may lower a woman's chances of developing kidney stones, a new study found. University of Washington researchers looked at data of more than 84,000 postmenopausal women who were part of the nationwide Women's Health Initiative, a study that has been tracking women's diet and lifestyle since the 1990s.
Women who reported even the lowest level of physical activity, comparable to about three hours of walking per week or one hour of jogging, had a 16 percent reduced risk of developing kidney stones.
Women who consumed more than 2,200 calories a day were at higher risk for developing kidney stones. However eating less than that amount did not protect against kidney stones.
The findings add to mounting evidence that some cases of kidney stones may be related to lifestyle factors.
BOTTOM LINE: As little as three hours a week of light exercise may lower a woman's risk of developing kidney stones.
CAUTIONS: The study was limited to postmenopausal women and the findings may not represent all people at risk for kidney stones. The study does not prove that exercise prevents kidney stones.

PCHS football: Shepherd to return to the sidelines
November 9, 2012
Every time fall rolled around, Mike Shepherd would get that proverbial itch.
For the last seven seasons, Shepherd, who led the Park City High School football program from 1997 to 2005, watched his favorite game being played by players he didn't coach.
Now, the former head coach is ready to put the headset back on and flick on the Friday-night-lights switch at Dozier Field. On Thursday morning, Shepherd was announced as the head coach of the Park City High School football team, eight days after former head coach Kai Smalley resigned following three years at the helm.
"I would have this crazy feeling as I would be just sitting there," Shepherd said of his time away from the sideline. "It's a special environment (in Park City). There aren't many places where you can get those same feelings. I have the time, the energy and the enthusiasm, and I think I can make a difference for the program."
According to Doug Payne, Park City High School athletic director, the search was easy. He, along with Principal Bob O'Connor — both of whom served as athletic directors at Park City during Shepherd's first round as Miner head coach — approached Shepherd last week to see if he'd be interested in turning around a program that went 4-17 over the last two seasons.
"We didn't want to wait long," Payne explained. "Once the football season ends on November 19 in football, the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) has a dead-time period, and during that time football coaches cannot have any contact with football players until February 28.

"We wanted to get someone on it as quick as we could. There was a certain amount of necessity involved."
And Shepherd has already been able to convince some of the program's most storied coaches to join him in his second round as leader of the Miners.
Joining his staff in 2013 will be Tom DeLeone, who coached at Park City for 12 years and had a 13-year career in the National Football League as a two-time Pro Bowl center. Also part of the College Football Hall of Fame, DeLeone will be the offensive line coach and special-teams coordinator under Shepherd. Bob Burns, who was the head coach at Park City for nearly 20 years, will serve as a multiple-positions coach.
Park City girls' basketball head coach Sam White will come on board as the freshmen coach, while Jon Evans, who played for Shepherd in the late 1990s, will serve as coach of the linebackers, defensive line and junior varsity.
Shepherd rejoins the program under circumstances similar to his first season as head coach in 1997. Before 1997, the Miners struggled mightily in region play and were looked upon as a doormat for other teams, but that changed under Shepherd. From 1998 to 2004, Park City made the postseason each year, and in 2001 the Miners reached the 3A state championship before falling to Delta 20-7. In his first stint with Park City, Shepherd had an overall record of 58-42 and had three 10-plus-win seasons.
He also enters his 17th year teaching physical education at Park City High School. Payne said having Shepherd already part of the Park City teaching staff was crucial in the hiring.
"It's almost necessary to have someone on our teaching staff for the football program," Payne said. "We weren't sure, with the cutbacks last year with the teachers, we didn't know what kind of openings there would be the longer we waited. It really would have put us in a bind the longer we waited."
Shepherd said he stepped away from coaching seven years ago to follow the collegiate football career of his son Drew, who went on to play at Willamette University in Salem, Ore.
"I wanted to be part of my son's college experience," he said. "I had been coaching other people's kids for a long time. But I've been in and around the game in all the years since I've been coaching."
He said his first order of business is implementing his style of play and teaching the kids how to enjoy playing football.
"I've found over the course of time high school kids need to have fun in whatever they do these days," Shepherd said. "That's not to say that fun doesn't mean you don't work hard, but I think being creative in your practices and having them be the appropriate length of time is important.
"The key to it is to make (the players) work hard without them thinking they're working hard."
He said he will re-implement his hybrid of the fly offense that also features some spread tendencies. Shepherd said, offensively, the team will take what is given to them by opposing defenses and that plays will be made simpler to Miner players, but seem more complex to the opposition.
Defensively, Shepherd will run a 4-3 scheme that will rely strongly on the middle linebacker position. During his first tenure at Park City, he said he had four first-team all-state middle linebackers and, to be successful on defense, that tradition must carry over into this decade.
One of the biggest challenges Shepherd faces is recruiting more upperclassmen to come out for football in 2013. He said he has a number of faces he'd like to get onto the gridiron for the first time prior to next season as well as convincing former players to put the helmet back on once again.
"It's a snowball effect," he said. "I have to take the core kids who have really stuck with it, and they need to be sold on that things are going to be different.
"Last time I came into this job I had 32 players total in the program. The following year we doubled that number and the following year we had 100 in our program."
Payne said the return to the sideline was a long time coming for the former Miner head coach, but now that Shepherd's back, he believes he's ready to turn things around once more.
"When you're like Mike and football is in your blood . . . he's just champing at the bit to get into it," he said.

A new global coalition of environmental, development, business and labour groups calls on the G-20 to make sure the financial stimulus package they are discussing this week is an inclusive and green one.
With the world facing a global recession, a broken financial system, job losses, food and fuel shocks, persistent poverty and growing ecological problems, the G-20 will meet to discuss an emergency package.
The coalition, which includes IUCN, WWF, IIED and the leader author of the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity, Pavan Sukhdev, along with trade union and business groups, urges the G-20 to invest in a green economy.
"We recommend that you allocate $750 billion of this stimulus package, which is around one percent of global GDP, to investments that will build an inclusive and green economy," the open letter reads. "You can do this by investing in green infrastructure, such as renewable energy, sustainable transport systems, and environmentally friendly buildings which would also stimulate the creation of high quality, stable employment across a range of sectors."
It also urges leaders to invest in equitable and sustainable natural resource use, supplemented by education and health care, which would improve the livelihoods of poor people.
Protecting critical habitats, and improving the provision of ecosystem services, which would mitigate systemic ecological risks and build resilience amongst rich and poor alike, is another recommendation.

Lindsay Lohan angry over Amanda Bynes' lack of punishment
LINDSAY LOHAN has taken a swipe at fellow former child star AMANDA BYNES following the actress' recent run-ins with police, questioning why she hasn't been jailed for a spate of driving offences.
Bynes, who started her career on kids channel Nickelodeon, has left fans concerned after a series of driving disasters. She had her licence suspended earlier this month (Sep12) while she faces a DUI charge and two counts of hit-and-run.
She continued to drive and was involved in a fender bender last week (ends16Sep12) before her car was finally impounded, and she received a misdemeanour citation on Sunday (16Sep12) when she was pulled over by cops.
But Bynes' low-level punishments have infuriated Lohan, who was briefly sent to jail twice in recent years over her own run-ins with the law.
Taking to her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?"

Aboriginal artists have painted a ute which is driving round Australia

Getting a chipped windscreen and scratches on the side of your car in the local supermarket carpark are part and parcel of owning a vehicle. Hitting a kangaroo or bullock is another hazard for outback drivers.
None of those scenarios are desirable - especially if your car is covered in valuable Aboriginal artworks.
The ute that Jessica Ward and Vanig Krikorian are driving around Australia is gradually changing, panel by panel, from plain old white to vibrant colours of the bush, painted by Aboriginal artists in remote art centres.
The pair wanted to learn about Australia before settling down to work and study in the city, but do something "good" at the same time.
The ute will be auctioned for a charity specialising in remote area health, when the couple return to Melbourne in a few months.
Listen to Vanessa Mills talk to Jessica and Vanig in a carpark at Broome's Town Beach, for ABC Kimberley Mornings

Inmates' Coloring Books Painted With Drugs [VIDEO]
Three inmates at the Cape May County Correctional Center in New Jersey wanted their drugs so badly, they used a children's coloring book to sneak them into their prison cells. We hate to give criminals so much credit, but the whole process was undeniably ingenious.
With the help of two civilians, the inmates painted numerous coloring books with what looked to be water color, but was actually a liquid version of a drug called Suboxone. They would have gotten away with it, but in February officers at the correction center were tipped off and began testing the books for drug substances.
All three of the incarcerated inmates have been charged with conspiracy and attempt to commit a crime. Civilian Debbie Longo was charged with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance with a set bail of $25,000. An arrest warrant is issued for the other civilian, Katelyn Mosebach, for the same charge.
Suboxone is a narcotic medication available in pill or film form that's used for the treatment of opioid dependence. When taken incorrectly, it can cause severe breathing problems or even death, explained Sheriff Gary Schaffer.

At Fiesta Rancho
- Cosmic DJ Skate Night
- Fridays and Saturdays, 8-11 p.m., $7 (plus $3 skate rental), SoBe Ice Arena, 638-3785.
- Blue Agave Cantina Happy Hour
- Half-price specialty margaritas, two-buck beers and three-buck bites.
- Daily, 4-9 p.m., 638-5630.
Camped on the couch searching Google Images for Michael Phelps, I finally snapped. This was no way for someone young, childless and living in the Strip's blast radius to spend a Friday evening. If Phelps were here, he'd be bottles-deep in the bender his certified crapload of Olympic medals deserves—the kind where breakfast is leftover beer and sleep is an accident. Because winners don't quit when they're tired.
Being merely human, I need an entire day to recover from drunk fatigue (and cheeseburger guilt). Sometimes being creepy in pajamas just seems more practical. Until you realize that if the Vegas party never stops, a good night can start early enough to include a good night's sleep. Want proof?
1. Tequila and Toe Picks
North Las Vegas casino Fiesta Rancho has aces up its sleeve: drive-thru sports betting, the SoBe Ice Arena and Blue Agave Cantina's Sandía Margarita. Big Al and I met for Blue Agave's 4 to 9 p.m. happy hour, meaning the $8 Sandía cost $4. Cuervo Tradicional blanco, watermelon puree, rock candy syrup and a splash of sweet and sour make a tangy, luscious libation with a sugared rim and juicy melon garnish. You won't find a tastier margarita for the price.
"It's a signature drink from Garduño's recipe book, so we can't take full credit for that, but we do add the fun, the smile, the excitement of the room," says Director of Beverage John Cordero, adding that Fiesta Rancho's 99-cent blended margarita is always on deck.
Big Al and I didn't dare. We were headed to Cosmic DJ Skate Night. Fridays and Saturdays from 8 to 11 p.m., the ice arena goes all-ages nightclub via mood lighting and a live DJ (unlike many Vegas venues, it doesn't allow visible underwear). Admission is $7, plus $3 to try your luck on the ice. The nostalgia was thick as we watched teen couples do laps to throbbing hip-hop. Big Al put his skates on the wrong feet, but we both ended up feeling like kids again. Kids with tequila.
2. Pitchers and Sexy Parts
At Hyde
- Fountains at 5
- Live DJ sets and and a menu of summer cocktail exclusives.
- Fridays, 5-10 p.m., at the Bellagio, 693-8700.
After almost 14 years, the Bellagio still has a vise-grip on the public's heart. My personal crush is on one of its newest assets, Hyde. The lounge is intimate and lush, and promotions indulge the early crowd. The latest is Friday "Fountains at 5," with live DJ sets and the option of handcrafted pitchers on the patio. (You don't need a reservation, but make one if you want a primo spot for the water show.) Exclusive summer pitchers ($75) range from sangria to Spicy Hurricane, but I can't resist muddled cucumber, so the three musketeers and I went for Peachy Summer Bliss.
Maneuvering well in a metallic dress that looked vacuum-sealed, our server presented lowballs with wheels of fresh cucumber and orange on ice. Over that, she poured a concoction of Stoli Peachik vodka, white cranberry juice and cucumber water—clean, cold, delicious. She kept them topped off while the musketeers and I discussed the disturbing thought of our mothers reading Fifty Shades of Grey and the not-so-disturbing thought of Michael Phelps' obliques. (I have issues.) Appropriately, the opening salvo of "God Bless the U.S.A." blasted with the fountains.
3. Cocktails and Casablanca
At the Lady Silvia
- Jazz Happy Hour
- Live jazz and happy-hour drink prices.
- Fridays, 6-9 p.m., 900 S. Las Vegas Blvd., 300-1007.
I'm no Ingrid Bergman, and Downtown is far from 1940s Morocco, but the Lady Silvia's Casablanca Jazz Happy Hour was a transformative escape. Jazz Happy Hour is every Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., but the August 3 session was extra special. Scenes of Bogey in his white tux cast their antique glow on the stage, where crooner Nik Mastrangelo and his band had the boutique speakeasy dancing. My favorite tune was "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás," the 1947 hit by Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés that's all about romantic ambiguity.
At the bar, guest mixologist Gaston Martinez told me why he scrapped his planned menu of classic martinis. "If you're talking a caipirinha or mojito, then yes. But the boozy cocktails—this town doesn't have the weather," he said.
In deference to the 105-degree night, Martinez presented four breezy twists featuring Stoli vodka or Milagro tequila. The heady perfume of lychee foam on the Fancy Paloma ($6) was chased with tartness and bite from Milagro reposado, lime and grapefruit juices, agave nectar and sparkling rosé. As I told Martinez, I could drink these all day. I was so effusive that the woman next to me ordered one, too, and we dished about love and lust, magic bracelets and finding action in Summerlin. I was having a ball, but there are sayings about turning into a pumpkin and ladies knowing when to leave. Mastrangelo sang the line: "The curtain descends / everything ends too soon, too soon." Maybe so, but I don't miss the dark circles.

Pulled out the gear to ride at Alameda today and realized I was in possession of only one bootie. I'm assuming I would have left it in the upper launch golf parking area last weekend, Saturday after changing out of the wetsuit.
Let me know if anyone noticed a lonely bootie out there.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (April 19, 2012) – The ETSU men's and women's track and field teams come back from a week off of competition to compete in the Atlantic Sun Outdoor Championships on Friday and Saturday at North Florida's Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
The meet begins Friday at 9 a.m., with the 100m hurdles section of the women's heptathlon. Other legs of the heptathlon to immediately follow will be the high jump, shot put and 200m. The men's events get underway at 9:30 a.m., with the first five sections of the decathlon which include the 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m.
The men' and women's 4x400m relays conclude the Championships on Saturday at 8:45 p.m., followed by the awards presentation at 9 p.m.
Last year, the men's side took home five gold medals but fell short against back-to-back champion Kennesaw State which tallied 237 points to ETSU's second place effort of 171. The Owls and Bucs also finished No. 1 and No. 2 at this year's Indoor Championships, with the title coming down to the final event as Kennesaw State edged ETSU 177-172.
The women's team earned their third-consecutive fourth place finish at last year's Outdoor Championships, totaling 85 points while six-time defending champion Jacksonville ran away with 243.
Heading into this weekend's Championships, ETSU leads the A-Sun in six men's events and three women's events.
On the men's side, Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname) sits atop the conference in the 100m with his time of 10.55 which he set two weeks ago at the Tennessee Challenge. Junior Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) posted his A-Sun leading 400m mark the week before at the Yellow Jacket Invitational with a time of 47.65
In the jumps, Jason Johnson (Philadelphia, Pa.) heads the triple jump with his 14.98m posting at the Georgia Relays. Marek Navratil (Olomouc, Czech Republic) holds the largest height in the high jump with a 2.05m clearing at the Tennessee Challenge.
Senior Cornell Sneed (Miami, Fla.) crushed his personal best of 15.05m in the shot put with his conference-leading mark of 16.15m at the Yellow Jacket Invitational.
Meanwhile, freshman K'Vonte Scott (Virginia Beach, Va.) leads the A-Sun with his 6,618-point decathlon performance in ETSU's first outdoor meet of the season at the 49er Classic.
In the women's events, Taylor Story (Germantown, Tenn.) leads the A-Sun multis with a 4,202 point total in the heptathlon.
Two other local products hold conference leads for the Bucs, with Jasmine Foster (Johnson City, Tenn.) leading the field in the shot put at 13.48m, and Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) setting the pace in the triple jump at 12.29m.
Event-by-event results, entry lists, start lists, and other meet information throughout the 2012 Outdoor Championships will be provided by CFPITiming.com.

Ski rental shop gives back
November 9, 2012
Ski rental shop Ski Butlers noticed the impact of Live PC Give PC, a day of giving created by the Park City Foundation. So much so, that the company has been trying to give back to the community ever since, from volunteer incentives for employees to trying to spread the Live PC Give PC concept into other towns where it has locations, resort towns such as Vail and Aspen.
"We were not involved with the event last year, but we noticed the amazing job the Park City Foundation did," said Mike Cremeno, the General Manager of the Park City location. "As a small business, we take so much from the community, so we decided we have to give back."
"We saw how successful the program was last year," he added, "and we thought, 'How can we be a part of this? How can we help it grow?' We've taken the idea and approached other communities."
Not only will the business be volunteering time before and on the day of Live PC Give PC, Nov. 16, but employees have been in talks with the Park City Foundation on how to take the idea and spread it.
"We're thrilled about the concept," said Katie Wright, the communications manager for the Park City Foundation. "They are trying to spread this into different towns through community foundations and chambers, approaching organizations in other towns to talk about how well this has worked for Park City.
"It is something we'd like to get behind, but right now it is in the beginning stages."

Live PC Give PC is a one-day online fundraiser for Park City and Summit County nonprofits. Scheduled for Nov. 16, the event will last 24 hours and will raise money for nonprofits ranging in missions from maintaining hiking trails to hosting cultural events to providing supplies to those in need. Last year, the single-day event raised $330,000 for 55 nonprofits, with funds coming from 1,500 donors. The Park City Foundation set a new goal to raise $500,000 this year, with hopes of getting new donor participants.
"I think that Ski Butlers, it is the young, small organization that is just incredibly community focused," said Trisha Worthington, the Executive Director of the Park City Foundation. "Service is clearly one of their values."
The business goes as far as providing incentives for employees who volunteer at least two hours a month. The two hours are still paid time for Ski Butlers employees, but the company program goes farther, including a bonus for employees who participate.
"A lot of our employees are first-timers to Park City," Cremeno said. "They probably just graduated college and moved to a mountain town to live that ski bum lifestyle for a year or two.
"They come here for six months over the winter and they don't really know the community. They are not very involved. But this allows them to see what's going on, and they get fired up over it."
Nick Olson, an employee for the past two years, agrees.
"I spend time volunteering at the National Ability Center, helping people get on snow who may otherwise not be able to I think this makes me a better employee. After people start, a lot of employees keep doing this more than once a month, just because they like to."

Service for Australia's top Muslim leader
Hundreds of mourners are expected to pay their respects to Australia's top Islamic leader a day after his death in Melbourne.
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Azeem al-Afifi, 48, will be farewelled on Thursday at a service at Al-Taqwa Mosque in Truganina, where he had been a teacher.
Friends, family and colleagues will then attend his burial at Fawkner Memorial Park, where his body is expected to be wrapped in a white cloth and placed in the ground - without the coffin - in accordance with his faith.
The sheikh died in a Melbourne hospital before dawn on Wednesday, after battling cancer.
Islamic Council of Victoria executive director Nail Aykan told AAP his friend was a "real gentleman" who found common ground among people.
"He was a peacemaker, a bridge builder ... that is what he will be remembered for," Mr Aykan said.
He said the sheikh was of Egyptian background but was proud of his identity as an Australian Muslim.
The sheikh was a founding member of the Australian National Imams Council and was elected grand mufti in March.
The council executive committee will act in the role of mufti of Australia until a meeting is held within 15 days to determine a new leader.
The sheikh's death was noted by federal and state parliamentarians, with acting Victorian premier James Merlino acknowledging his strong leadership and spiritual guidance.
"His eminince loved our nation and its people, and as a state, Victoria will miss his genuine and heartfelt friendship."

- Swap is for Australian residents only. This is to try and minimise postage costs, shipping time and also make organising the swap much easier for me!
- We'll be swapping METRIC fat quarters which measures 50cm x 56cm (or about 20" x 22").
- Mailing will only be done using pre-paid Parcel Post Satchels from Australia Post. These pre-paid satchels come in two sizes - 500g (for $5.70) and 3kg (for $9.90). Once you've worked out how many fat quarters you want to swap go to the post office and buy TWO parcel post satchels - one to post the fat quarters to me and one you'll self-address (and put into the other satchel) to allow me to return your new vintage sheet loveliness to you!
- You can choose how many fat quarters you wish to sent and therefore receive. I think you'll be able to fit up to 15 fat quarters into a 500g satchel and heaps more than that in a 3kg satchel (but please check your weight - I just weighed random FQ's at home to come up with this).
- As far as the quality of the sheets themselves, please only send what you would like to receive. That's why we're swapping fat quarters and not whole sheets! It's fine for you to send several fat quarters from the same sheet. Please send only cotton or cotton blends. Avoid anything that's overly 80's, has cartoon characters etc. Also avoid sending solids or neutrals.
- Please wash the sheets prior to cutting and sending them.
- If you send sheets I deem to be "unacceptable" (i.e. one that is stained, torn or overly worn) I will send it back to you. This may seem harsh but it's unfair on other swappers who spent time inspecting their sheets and who sent only "nice" fat quarters.

Jason Bay is back in the lineup for today's game against Milwaukee following a one-day benching on the heels of an 0-for-20 funk. He might hit a home run today, or two. Or, he could have another 0-for-4 with three punchouts. Not that it matters anymore.
Several months ago, when there was still a worthwhile part of the season left and Jose Reyes at the top of his game, Terry Collins suggested moving Bay to second in the order to get him more fastballs. Collins never moved on it and now that boat has sailed.
Even when Reyes returns his legs won't be the same and the experiment will be a moot point. The Mets have tried everything with Bay, but his mechanics are so fouled up right now that it seems nothing will work. Maybe Bay will snap out of his funk. Maybe it won't, but for now it seems no other conclusion can be drawn other than this signing was a bust.
And, there are two more years at $16 million per to endure. Sandy Alderson managed to get takers for Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez. Maybe next year he'll get lucky again. One can only hope.

Zfinkelstein necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 59 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
I am a 26-year old professional tenor opera singer living in Toronto, Ontario. I have almost everything needed so far to build a musical press kit: business cards (coming next week), demo CD, headshot, resume, but I am missing a website to connect the dots. The culture of my company (ie my opera singing) is fairly conservative, simply because of the demographics of the classical music world. I am trying to sell myself as a reliable, skilled, young professional tenor who is climbing up the ranks of the opera world.
-stage directors, opera directors, conductors, choir directors...anyone who is looking to hire a tenor!
-agents in the music business
-other professional musicians
-friends and family
-simple, elegant and easy to navigate. No fancy flash, bells or whistles. A director should be able to find my audio sample and know what operas I've performed in within 10 seconds.
-I am looking for a design that reflects my voice: I have a light, agile voice but with a firmness and strength to it that you would not find in a lot of pop singers. I've attached vocal clips so you can translate my voice into design ideas! Surprise me!
-in terms of layout, I am open to side bars on the left or on top...from what I've seen they both work well
-for colors, I would prefer a white or off-white background with a color accent. Some of my favorite colors are light blue and forest green. Feel free to surprise me...but no pink:)
Update: since I don't have a professional quote yet, please build the front page without a quote. Also, if you are going to use the colour photo with the blue/green background, please do not extend the colour with photoshop. I know a lot of you have tried that, but the textures in the background of the photo are so different it just really draws attention to the fact that it is photoshopped and I do not think it works well.
I would like one page designed with all the buttons on it that counts as the hompage, similar to Anna Netrebko's site. When you would click on the button, it would use the same template with different central content.
There should be tabs for all the elements a director or agent is looking for (note these tab names are not set in stone):
-the homepage will introduce me briefly and show upcoming events
-1st tab: Bio/CV (a few paragraphs describing myself and my recent accomplishments). At the bottom, a linked text to my CV.
-2nd tab: Audio/Video
-3rd tab: Schedule (redirect back to home page)
-4th tab: Photos (various headshots)
-5th tab: Press kit (includes all the physical materials in a press kit
-6th tab: Contact
It must include one headshot photo. My primary headshot is the one up against the blue wall, but if you feel that a black and white headshot is better to reflect the design scheme then run with it!
There should be room to add two future tabs: 'discography' and 'Reviews/Awards'.
http://www.annanetrebko.com/ -I LOVE this website! Simple, elegant and shows off the singer well. The top is a little too busy for me, though.
http://www.benhammondmusic.com -This is a wonderful one-page website but I want something lighter color-wise and more classically-oriented and less busy.
http://michaelciufo.com/pictures.html -good website, but too many color changes and I don't want to involve flash players on the landing page.

Haskell package guidelines
Haskell on Arch Linux
Haskell is well supported on Arch Linux, with GHC and other key tools available via pacman, a growing number of packages made available by the ArchHaskell group, and a large part of hackage.haskell.org library database available via AUR.
The community around Haskell on Arch is active and well organized but your help is always welcome.
All the details on the ArchHaskell group is available on its own page.
Haskell Packages
The core Haskell tools are available in the core system (extra):
Our policy for [extra] is to provide the Haskell platform, and popular Haskell applications.
[community] provides additional packages that are popular and not part of the Haskell platform, such as xmonad.
The [haskell] repository is the official repository of packages maintained by the ArchHaskell team. This repository represents the last tier of stability, before resorting to the packages on AUR, or perhaps building packages yourself with cabal2arch. [haskell] can be accessed by adding the following entry to pacman.conf:
[haskell] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/$repo/$arch
The set of packages in the [haskell] repository is derived from the habs tree officially located at https://github.com/archhaskell/habs. A tool called cblrepo is used to keep the habs tree synchronized with the official Haskell packages from Hackage.
A huge number (almost 2000) packages built from http://hackage.haskell.org.
These generally improve on installing directly from Hackage as they resolve required C libraries. They can be installed as, for example:
sudo paktahn -S haskell-csv
Anything not found here can be installed via cabal-install direct from Hackage.
Unfortunately, many of the packages on AUR are outdated due to a lack of resources. In practice, one uses the cabal2arch program to create PKGBUILDs directly from Hackage.
In almost all cases cabalised Haskell packages can be automatically translated into Arch packages, via the cabal2arch tool. It is strongly recommended that you use the latest released version of this tool, as it implements the packaging policy for Haskell packages. You can get it in several ways:
- Add the [haskell] repository to pacman.conf and use pacman do install the latest release.
- Download and build the source from AUR, either manually or using one of the many AUR Helpers.
- Install directly from Hackage using "cabal install cabal2arch".
cabal2arch: an example
This example illustrates how to create a new package with cabal2arch. We'll make a new package for the delimited continuations library, CC-delcont:
First, set the name and email address to be used in the generated PKGBUILD:
export ARCH_HASKELL='My Name <email@example.com>'
Second, find the hackage page for CC-delcont, then identify the link to the .cabal file. Use this link as an argument to cabal2arch:
% cd /tmp % cabal2arch http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pandoc/22.214.171.124/pandoc.cabal Using /tmp/tmp.D7HAJJx2js/pandoc.cabal Feeding the PKGBUILD to `makepkg -g`... ==> Retrieving Sources... -> Downloading pandoc-22.214.171.124.tar.gz... --2011-05-14 07:25:39-- http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pandoc/220.127.116.11/pandoc-22.214.171.124.tar.gz Resolving hackage.haskell.org... 220.127.116.11 Connecting to hackage.haskell.org|126.96.36.199|:80... connected.

Checking what was created:
% ls haskell-pandoc % cd haskell-pandoc % ls haskell-pandoc.install PKGBUILD
You can now inspect the PKGBUILD and install script for the library:
# Maintainer: _hkgname=pandoc pkgname=haskell-pandoc pkgver=220.127.116.11 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Conversion between markup formats" url="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/${_hkgname}" license=('GPL') arch=('i686' 'x86_64') makedepends=() depends=('ghc' 'haskell-http=4000.1.1' 'haskell-bytestring=0.9.1.10' 'haskell-containers=0.4.0.0' 'haskell-directory=126.96.36.199' 'haskell-extensible-exceptions=0.1.1.2' 'haskell-filepath=126.96.36.199' 'haskell-mtl=18.104.22.168' 'haskell-network=188.8.131.52' 'haskell-old-time=22.214.171.124' 'haskell-parsec=3.1.1' 'haskell-pretty=126.96.36.199' 'haskell-process=22.214.171.124' 'haskell-random=18.104.22.168' 'haskell-syb=0.3' 'haskell-texmath<0.5' 'haskell-utf8-string>=0.3' 'haskell-xhtml=3000.2.0.1' 'haskell-xml<1.4' 'haskell-zip-archive<0.2') options=('strip') source=(http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/${_hkgname}/${pkgver}/${_hkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz) install=${pkgname}.install md5sums=('d19a630462595941b3100dff6f839aa3') build() { cd ${srcdir}/${_hkgname}-${pkgver} runhaskell Setup configure -O ${PKGBUILD_HASKELL_ENABLE_PROFILING:+-p } --enable-split-objs --enable-shared \ --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/${pkgname} --libsubdir=\$compiler/site-local/\$pkgid runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup haddock runhaskell Setup register --gen-script runhaskell Setup unregister --gen-script sed -i -r -e "s|ghc-pkg.*unregister[^ ]* |&'--force' |" unregister.sh } package() { cd ${srcdir}/${_hkgname}-${pkgver} install -D -m744 register.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/${pkgname}/register.sh install -m744 unregister.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/${pkgname}/unregister.sh install -d -m755 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries ln -s /usr/share/doc/${pkgname}/html ${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/${_hkgname} runhaskell Setup copy --destdir=${pkgdir} }
It follows the conventions for Haskell packages:
- Libraries are prefixed with "haskell-"
- All libraries that the package depend on are listed (libraries shipped with ghc are dealt with by having the ghc package provide them)
- It uses cabal to generate a post-install register/unregister script, with a standard name.
- We use haddock to build the documentation.
All Haskell libraries should follow these naming conventions, and using the latest release of cabal2arch will ensure this is the case.
NOTE: Beginning with cabal2arch 1.1-2, a new environment variable, PKGBUILD_HASKELL_ENABLE_PROFILING, is generated into the PKGBUILD. If this variable is of non-zero length, such as "1" or "true", then profiling builds will occur. Thus, if a user desires profiling, then it is advised to export this environment variable in a file such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.
Guidelines for Libraries
In general, each .cabal file should map to one PKGBUILD. The following conventions hold:
- libraries have their cabal names prefixed with "haskell-"
- all libraries have a dependency on 'ghc'
- all libraries that are depended on must be listed in the depends-array in the PKGBUILD
- be careful about dependencies from gtk2hs: cairo, svg, glib, gtk. These are all provided by the 'gtk2hs' package, not , e.g. "haskell-cairo"
Registering Haskell libraries is done via a register hook, see above.
Guidelines for Programs
- Have their normal name. Examples: hmp3, xmonad, ghc, cabal-install
- Be careful about dynamically linked runtime dependencies on C. For example, all GHC-produced binaries have a runtime dependency on 'gmp'. OpenGL or GtT-based binaries will have additional 'depends'. cabal2arch will attempt to work out the C dependencies, but there may be others implied by Haskell dependencies that are missed.
- Use executable stripping, --enable-executable-stripping. cabal2arch will do this automatically.
Automatic local building of Hackage Packages with cabal2arch using Bauerbill
Although there are a number of haskell packages on AUR, there will always be outdated packages on AUR. If this happens and you want to create a fully updated package you would normally use cabal2arch. This however can become painful/time consuming if you have numerous packages with different dependencies (some of which may/may not be updated). Instead you can automatic this process by using Bauerbill which has the --hackage flag, allowing you to create AUR packages from Hackage locally. Below is an example of some common commands
bauerbill -S --hackage [pkgs] : build [pkgs] directly from Hackage* bauerbill -Si --hackage [pkgs] : look up information about [pkgs] bauerbill -Ss --hackage [args] : search for [args] bauerbill -Qu --hackage : list upgradable Hackage packages
Syncing packages with the --hackage flag will interactively download all dependencies of the package from Hackage, convert them using cabal2arch and then build/install them (while checking dependencies). You can combine this with the --aur flag to give precedence to Hackage packages that are on AUR

I've been meaning to write to you to say how lovely my 2 crate covers turned out.
I enjoyed talking with you and having the opportunity to learn a little about your industry. Should I need to purchase any covers in the future or know of anyone wishing to buy one when they see mine, I will definitely let them know about you.
Thanks a million,

Ladies and gentlemengs!
Come one! Come all! Witness the beauty and awe that is, THE TOFU DRIFT PREVIA!
What's that?! You have never heard of such a thing? A wild man drifting the massive mother ship that is a Toyota Previa? Well you sir or madame, are in luck! For we have today Paco and his madness.
Your eyes do not deceive you. That is indeed a massive Toyota Previa letting its ass slide all around and showing off for the crowds. I have for today an interview with the man behind this giant and maddening endeavor.
Paco and I did a little (read: Inappropriate) interview. Enjoy it, bitches, this man is doing big thangs!
OMG Pancakes – Tell us a little about yourself?
Paco – Hi, my name is Paco and this is Drifting a Minivan 1.0
I'm a Spanish/Mexican immigrant (100% legal, lol) born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. Been living here the US for 7 years. I'm an Industrial Designer focused mainly on Automotive Design but currently working as a Civil Engineer at a construction firm in Phoenix, Arizona. My love for cars come from my dad who used taught me how to do basic mechanic work and since I was a little kid we used to work on our own cars instead of taking them to the shop.
When it comes to cars I'm usually looking for the rarest and unconventional vehicles, some of the best I had were my 1989 Buick Reatta (the one with the factory touchscreen) and my 1992 Subaru SVX with manual transmission swap which I love to death and I'll get buried in that car when I'm gone.
OMGP – How did you and the Tofu Drift Previa come to be?
Paco – Well, I was looking to build an all purpose drift car instead of beating up my weekend driver and I wanted to buy a cheap car and start from the very bottom but I didn't want the typical 240sx, RX-7s were starting to become popular and BMWs are a pain in the arse to work on, so I decided to buy the most unlikely car you'll see at the track. One of my options originally was a Volvo Wagon or an old Chevette but I saw an ad on craigslist for a manual transmission Previa with 328,000 miles for $1000 which I ended up getting for $900…… not bad huh?
OMGP – What is the story behind your wacky relationship with the Tofu Drift Previa?
Paco – So far it's been a love story with its usual bumps, I wanted to run 24hr of Lemons (where you race a crappy $500 car and gets all beaten up) and since everybody gets the weirdest wackiest cars to race that I was like "I gotta do a minivan" and since they are RWD or AWD and manual transmission was an option it would be perfect. They are also mid engine so to me it was like an oversized NSX… well, more like an oversized MR2, but since the cars get all beaten up I thought the mid engine configuration would help to keep the engine safe from damage during the race…. I never really made it to Lemons, but the idea got stuck in my head that I wanted to race a minivan at the track.
OMGP – Who would you Fuck, Kill, and Marry: Hillary Clinton, Will Farrel, and Kate Upton
Paco – Fuck Farrel, Marry Hillary and who is Kate Upton??
Paco – Why? Because Farrel is funny and has money, Hillary is responsible and has money and who is this Kate Upton again??
OMGP – Why the Previa?
Paco – Why not?? Lol.
If there was more RWD Manual minivans available in the market I would have tried something with a bigger engine, but the Previa is popular for being reliable, cheap and oddly shaped like an egg… have you ever seen an egg go sideways??
OMGP – Were you a drifter previously?
Paco – My first drifting event 6 years ago was on my 1978 Datsun 280Z, but then I decided I was going to restore it so I started drifting with my 2000 Corvette LS1 6 speed and it was fun but the car is made to hug the turns, so it was hard for a noob like me to figure it out, plus I wasn't very constant and I was causing a lot of damage to the car.. s I decided to get a 100% drift only car instead…. so I sold the Corvette and upgraded to the high life of a Previa Minivan 😀
OMGP – Other motorsports experience?
Paco – Yes, drag racing in Mexico in my 16 second 280Z and a 1978 Camaro… but I grew bored out of it really quick.
I also have SEVERAL hours of Gran Turismo since the very first one and right now I have a racing rig simulator at home which I'm setting up for off season drifting practice…. lol. Oh and I have a PhD on Midnight Wangan Maximum Tune… What?? What do you mean those last two are not real racing???
Paco's hydraulic brake setup.
OMGP – Dude, what is your favorite tween/teen girl movie?
Paco – Meet Joe Black for a lot of reasons
OMGP – Any other projects?
Paco – My 78 280Z which I want to do a right hand drive conversion and RB26 swap, my 92 SVX which Im working on an STI inspired front bumper right now, my daily driver an 04 Pontiac Aztek AWD with mud tires, spacers and working on lifting it a couple inches, my roomate's 93 FD RX-7 twin turbo which we are about to rebuild the engine and I've been dreaming on buying a 2nd gen MR2 and swapping in an electric motor to make it my daily driver… We'll see how it goes.
Paco – Between me and my roomate that's alreay 4 nipples….
OMGP – What have you done to the the Tofu Drift Previa to make her driftable?
Paco – The very first day I bought the van I stripped down the interiors, also It was originally a rear drum brakes van so the first real mod was buying a disc brake axle ($80 at salvage yard), lock welded the differential and swap it in. After removing all the weight the van's suspension got jacked up high like a 4×4, so I had to cut the rear springs from 1″ down to only 4.5″ and then "installed" a pair of footballs inside the coils for a little better ride (they blew up after the first event, lol). I also ordered a set of used Cusco front coilovers and adjustable camber plates from Japan and right now they are sitting at the lowest setup… but I still need to go lower. I also installed a hydraulic rear hand brake, got rid of the exhaust muffler and did a silly quad tip setups instead, got crappy ass racing seats to start with and added a quick release steering since the driving position is so bad it really helps to get in and out. Other than that I'm still running the old tired 2TZ 2.4 liter 4 banger. I'm also running on 17″ x 7″ Motegi LC5 wheels and Federal EVO595 tires (those tires are the bang for the buck).
OMGP – Future plans for the Tofu Drift Previa?
Paco – Yes. Right now I have the rear half of an S14 240sx which Im going to transplant into the van's rear to make it Rear Independent Suspension and this way I can just buy upgrades made for 240s instead of hunting for used crap made for Previas and paying ultra high shipping prices (what we know as… overnite parts from Japan). I also bought a 1UZ-FE 4.0lt V8 engine out of an SC400 which Im going to cram behind the front seats to make it an even more mid engine setup… its going to be like the Lexus LFA of the minivans. Obviously roll cage and reinforcing everything and lowering it a loooot more.
OMGP – Could we see a the Tofu Drift Previa in Formula D or something of the sort some day?
Paco – This weekend I had formula D driver Corey Hosford ride with me a couple times and he drove the van another couple times to give me an insight on what needs to be done and tweaked on the van, some drifting tips and tricks and he told me I should try XDC (Xtreme Drift Circuit) once I do the engine and suspension swap. Honestly that was like a lot of encouragement to do things right and get serious in the not so serious looking van. So I'll be trying out on XDC's next season as soon as I finish the swap and learn how to drift properly at our local events.
Now… Formula D?? I don't know, that's a huge commitment and it costs a LOT of money and the bar is set so high (+800HP just to stay competitive) that it would have to become my main job, besides I am just a noob who dreams of going sideways, I shouldn't be dreaming about becoming be the next DK…. lol
Cusco coils
OMGP – Why do you have an erection right now?
Paco – Duuuhhh… Because of Corey Hosford's sexy mustache…
OMGP – Are you a van/wagon guy or is the Previa just a fluke?
Paco – I love all kinds of cars but I sure have a thing for wagons. My panties get wet when I see an SRT-8 Magnum and I totally get off when I saw the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon…. OMG that thing is soooo damn sexy. But I always liked the european wagons like the Jaguar XJS Shooting Brake, Ferrari 456 Venice Wagon, and the new Mercedes CLS AMG wagon also makes my spider sense tingle. But pretty much I just like rare/weird unique cars.
Paco – Lucy Liu… that lesbian hag drives me nuts
Paco – I want to find a way to bring a Toyota Sera to the states and I want to restart working on my beloved 280Z…. it's been sitting for so many years 😦
Well, I hope this begins a long and sexy journey that Paco, OMG Pancakes, the Tofu Drift Previa, and George Clooney will all embark on.
Peep some more of Paco's super sexiness and I guess the Previa is there too.

I want to change the transparity from a unit if he is in a region. A player walks in the region and the unit goes invisible and he is invurnable. I know how to make a unit invurnable. I just want to know how can I change the transparity or make the unit invisible.

You've just scored a seat at the most exclusive high-stakes poker club in town, but consider yourself forewarned, the clientele can be a little strange.
Developer Telltale Games assembles an eclectic group of video game gamblers from all corners of popular culture with "Poker Night 2" ($5; Mac, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). As a mysterious newcomer to the club's bizarre cast, you'll stare down from across the felt table the likes of Brock Samson from TV's "The Venture Bros.," Ash from the "Evil Dead" films, Sam of "Sam & Max" fame and Claptrap from "Borderlands."
Just in case that cast list doesn't raise an eyebrow, everybody's favorite malevolent artificial intelligence, GlaDOS from "Portal," is on hand to serve as dealer and dish out copious, biting insults to all in attendance.
It's a case of fan-service done right, as the beloved characters swap stories and deliver hilarious lines of dialogue, propping up an otherwise bare-bones card game. Even longtime fans of the source material won't get a lot of mileage out of this one, but the temporary guffaws are well worth the price of admission.
The poker itself consists of Texas Hold 'em and Omaha varieties. You can play the odds and win with skill, or try to decipher your opponents' tells and strike when they have a bad hand. If you suddenly find yourself on a losing streak, try buying a round of beers to make the competition easier to read. Once they've busted out, the losers slink off to the bar in the background, where you can watch them drink their sorrows away while the game continues.
Tournaments move at a brisk pace, as opponents are inclined to go all-in at the drop of a hat and the ante rapidly rises. Winning grants you more cash, as well as bonus points that unlock new chips, cards and tables in the theme of each character's backstory. Selecting entire sets will change the appearance of the club itself and coax new dialogue from the competitors.
Along the way, players will be assigned special tasks known as bounties. Once you complete three random bounties, you'll get a chance to win a trophy from one of your opponents, which grants avatar gear, bonus items for use in other video games, and console themes.
The extra incentives are appreciated and it's fun to experiment with the club's appearance, but a lack of multiplayer severely limits the game's replay value. You'll start hearing repeated jokes and stories long before you capture all four trophies. Once you've amassed all of the treasures and heard the dialogue, there's really no reason to continue playing.
It would be easy to accuse "Poker Night 2" of using its characters' popularity to mask an underwhelming poker simulator. Much like the recent "Citadel" DLC for "Mass Effect 3," however, carefully crafted dialogue and intelligent humor give this lighthearted what-if scenario genuine appeal. All of the characters stay true to their established personas and the quirks that make them endearing.
Who wouldn't want to go head-to-head with the chatterbox Claptrap, or be privy to back-and-forth barbs between Samson and a killer robot? When you bust out of a tournament, you have the option to continue watching your opponents battle it out. I had almost as much fun observing the action as I did taking part — a sign of both the quality of the voice acting and the limited appeal of the poker itself.
"Poker Night 2" is a safe bet for fans of the participating characters. Heck, even if you're not familiar with the cast, taking a gamble on this amusing mash-up is almost certain to pay off.
Final score: 7 out of 10

Braves, Nats wrap up early season showdown at Turner Field
It was a pitcher's duel in the third test of a four-game set between the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals. Who knows what to expect from the NL East foes Thursday night in the series finale?
Atlanta had won the first two installments of the series, including an 8-1 drubbing on Tuesday. But the Nationals took care of business with Wednesday's 2-0 victory behind eight strikeouts and eight shutout innings from Jordan Zimmermann. Zimmermann allowed only two hits and Rafael Soriano put the icing on the cake with a flawless ninth for his eighth save.
"First inning I didn't have my best stuff. The fastball I was getting inside a little bit. I had good off-speed stuff and kept throwing that, then the fastball came back a little later in the game," Zimmermann said.
Braves starter Paul Maholm surrendered a costly home run to Ian Desmond in the fourth inning and was strapped with the loss. Maholm went eight innings, gave up three hits and struck out four.
"Pauly has been pitching well for us all season," Braves left fielder Justin Upton said. "It stinks when he goes out and pitches so well and we couldn't push anything across."
Upton and Maholm had the hits for Atlanta, which dropped its fifth game in seven tries and had a nine-game winning streak against Washington come to an end. Atlanta still leads the NL East by 3 1/2 games ahead of the Nats.
The Braves will host the New York Mets for three games this weekend, but look to finish off Washington with Kris Medlen on the mound. Medlen ended the 2012 campaign on fire and it hasn't carried over as evidenced by a 1-3 record in five starts to go along with a 3.26 earned run average.
Medlen allowed a season-high five runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings the last time out on Saturday in a 7-4 setback at Detroit. In his back-to-back losses, Medlen has given up 17 hits and eight runs. The right-hander has pitched against Washington 11 times (2 starts) in his career, going 2-1 with a 1.67 ERA over 27 innings.
Countering for the Nationals will be Dan Haren, who is coming off arguably his best start of the season. In Saturday's 6-3 win over Cincinnati, Haren limited the visiting Reds to a pair of runs in six innings and permitted six hits to improve to 2-3 in five starts and lower his ERA from 7.36 to 6.29.
Haren, a right-hander, ended a personal two-start slide and hopes to maintain his strong record against Atlanta. Haren has made six career starts in this series and owns a 4-2 mark. However, his ERA in that span in 6.17.
The Nationals are counting on young star outfielder Bryce Harper to be in Thursday's lineup. Harper left Wednesday's win after aggravating a shoulder bruise on a check swing leading off the sixth inning. Harper collided with an outfield wall on Tuesday and is day-to-day.
"Hopefully, I can come in tomorrow, feel like a million bucks and play," Harper said on the club's website. "If I can play tomorrow, I'm going to play. I can play with pain. I can tolerate pain. There's hopefully nothing that can keep me out of that lineup tomorrow."
Harper could be joined by teammate and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman on Friday. On the disabled list since April 21 with a strained left hamstring, Zimmerman has been doing rehab assignments in the minor leagues and is expected to join the club in Pittsburgh Friday night.
"It only took seven, eight days for it to get completely better," Zimmerman noted on the Nats' website. "But then obviously you have to get back in game shape and play a couple games and get ready, so thankfully everything kind of went as planned and nothing really came back up. It's good. Hammies, you never really know."
Washington had lost three in a row and seven of 10 games before the recent win and will play three games in the Steel City this weekend.

We give you the opportunity to surprise your loved ones with a wonderful experience by purchasing a free date ticket for them to use whenever they like.
It gets harder and harder to smile when we unwrap the umpteenth pair of socks or some other similarly unimaginative gift. Holidays, birthdays and anniversaries shouldn't be about hastily purchasing a predictable gift for our friends and family. In the past few decades studies have suggested that the joy one feels when receiving material presents, even if they are the long desired smart phone or a super expensive pair of designer shoes, doesn't last very long, especially when compared to experience gifts.
We offer you the opportunity to give the gift of our program that the recipient may enjoy at a time of his or her choosing within in a year. We request that ticket holders let us know a short time beforehand when we can expect them!

A fight scene for the boys. Romance for the preteen girls. Nostalgia for the parents. Plus, the Sugar Plum Fairy and that scary mouse.
The team behind Festival Ballet Theatre's production of "The Nutcracker" has a simple theory for why the show has such lasting power: It offers a little something for everyone.
"It has so many characters that you don't get bored," said Artistic Director Salwa Rizkalla. "You have to really be in love with ballet to enjoy 'Swan Lake,' but you don't have to be in love with ballet to enjoy 'The Nutcracker.'"
Certainly, Tchaikovsky's 1892 classic has had staying power at the Fountain Valley-based nonprofit company, which has put it on for 23 straight years. This December, for the fifth year, the production will take place at the Irvine Barclay Theatre.
The story is probably familiar to many: Clara, a young German girl, receives a toy nutcracker from her godfather on Christmas Eve, then watches it come alive later that night and defend her against an army of mice. Then the nutcracker turns into a prince and takes Clara to the Land of Sweets, a fantasy world populated by a huge cast of characters.
Rizkalla said the story can be taken as a parable of a girl's first crush — one of the reasons she casts a teenager rather than a smaller child as Clara.
"She's, how do you say, innocent," Rizkalla said. "She has a lot of hopes and fears."
"The Nutcracker" cast features more than 200 dancers (not all featured in the same performances) who range from children to adults. Most of the cast members come from the Southland Ballet Academy in Fountain Valley and Irvine, which feeds into Festival Ballet Theatre, but other parts are cast through open auditions.
This year's performance, as in the past, also features professional dancers from troupes across the country, who join "The Nutcracker" cast every year to play the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier. The first guest pairs for this season come from American Ballet Theatre: Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky on Dec. 10 and 11, Gillian Murphy and Gennadi Saveliev on Dec. 16, 17 and 18.
Carla Körbes of Pacific Northwest Ballet and Fabrice Calmels of Joffrey Ballet will take over from Dec. 20 to 24.
The featured dancers help bring in a wide audience, according to marketing director Connie Jankowski.
"People will come just to see those names," she said. "It's a very big thing for Orange County to have dancers of that caliber here."
