Sunset start
Vintage Aaron Laffey led the Bisons in a 2-0 win Saturday night. Laffey crisply completed 8-innings, striking out nine and looked much more finished on the mound versus his return to Buffalo on Monday night.
The 5:35 start tonight will be interesting to watch because batters have had difficulty picking up the ball in the early innings the last two nights. Although, the sun is not the sole reason that the Bisons have punched out 23 times in the first two games. Carlos Carrasco and Brian Mazone deserve a good amount of credit trying to lead Lehigh Valley.
The Bisons try to take the series lead tonight in Game 3.
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons take on the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the third game of a four-game series at Coca-Cola Park (5:35 p.m.). The series is even at a game apiece after the Herd pitched themselves to a 2-0 shutout win last night. After this four-game set, the Bisons will have rare back-to-back off days before starting an eight-game homestand on Thursday. On the mound tonight for Buffalo is LHP David Huff. The southpaw had his last outing shortened to just 1.1 innings thanks to a lengthy rain delay on Tuesday night. Lehigh Valley will counter with LHP J.A. Happ.
TODAY'S STARTER: David Huff
-Last Game: 8/5 vIND: (L, 1.1IP, H, 3R, 2ER, BB, 2K), Bisons' 5-2 loss.
-2008 w/ Bisons: (4-4, 3.03)(12GS, 59.1IP, 48H, 24R, 20ER, 9BB, 59K).
-2008 w/ Akron (AA): (5-1, 1.92)(11G, 10GS, 65.2IP, 44H, 17R, 14ER, 14BB, 62K)
-2007 w/ Kinston (A): (4-1, 2.72)(11GS, 59.2IP, 57H, 23R, 18ER, 15BB, 46K).
-2007 Carolina League All-Star, missed second half of season (left elbow strain).
-2006 w/ Mahoning Valley (A): (0-1, 5.87)(4GS, 7.2IP, 9H, 5R, 5ER, 8K).
-Drafted by Cleveland in the 1st round (39th overall) of the 2006 MLB Draft
HUFF'S STUFF: LHP David Huff hasn't allowed more than four earned runs in any of his starts with the Herd this season. In 9 of his 12 outings, he has given up two earned runs or less. His last outing lasted only 1.1 innings due to a rain delay of over two hours. In the four starts before that, Huff was 2-1 with a razor thin 0.90ERA. In his last five starts, including the rain-shortened appearance, Huff has allowed just 14 hits while striking out 16 in 21.1 innings of work.
SOLID FIRST WEEK: INF Andy Cannizaro has fit in nicely to the Bisons everyday line-up. Since being acquired on August 4 in a trade with Tampa Bay, the second baseman has reached safely in all six games as a Bison. He's hit in each of his last four with a .333 (5-15) batting average. He's also scored five runs in six games. With the Durham Bulls, Cannizaro hit .240 (41-171) with one home run and 14RBI in 51 games.
ALL-STAR: Buffalo's 2008 All-Star LHP Rich Rundles has not allowed a run in seven consecutive outings. Since July 26, Rundles has allowed just two hits while striking out eight in 5.1 innings of work. The stretch includes three of his four saves on the season. Rundles leads Bisons relievers in games (46), wins (5) and holds (8).
BISONS BITS: OF Jason Cooper played in his 396th game as a Bison, four shy of C Tom Prince's Modern Era record of 400…OF Todd Linden is the second Bisons batter to reach 10 home runs on the season (OF Brad Snyder, 11). Linden has also doubled in three straight games and is now tied with Cooper for 2nd on the team with 41 RBI (Snyder, 53).

James Baird State Park is situated on farmland once owned by James Baird, a contractor and engineer whose firm constructed the Lincoln Memorial. In 1939, James Baird donated the 590 acres of land to New York State under the stipulation that it be known as James Baird State Park. Work began on the park and golf course in 1940. Construction continued intermittently during World War II and the James Baird State Park Golf Course was officially opened in 1948. Nationally renowned golf architect, Robert Trent Jones designed a scenic, fairly flat 18-hole golf course on this large tract of farmland in Pleasant Valley. To golfers' delight, the par 5, 13th hole is one of the most challenging in the Hudson Valley. In addition to the golf course, the park now also boasts a driving range, pro shop, clubhouse and a snack bar at the 1st and 10th holes. A full service restaurant, Eighteen by Coppola's, overlooks the golf course and is open to both golfers and the general public.
James Baird State Park has much to offer. There are spacious open and wooded picnic areas and two picnic pavilions which can accommodate up to 300 people each by reservation. There is a playground as well as a sports complex where visitors enjoy playing basketball, softball, tennis and volleyball. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the seven miles of scenic wooded trails ideal for hiking in the warm months and cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the wintertime.
Household pets only; caged or on a leash not more than 10 feet. Pets are not permitted in buildings, picnic areas or on golf course.
Most New York State Parks charge a vehicle use fee to enter the facility. Fees vary by location and season. A list of entry fees and other park use fees is available below. For fees not listed or to verify information, please contact the park directly.
The easy-to-use Empire Pass card is $80- and your key to all-season enjoyment with unlimited day-use entry at most facilities operated by State Parks and the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation including forests, beaches, trails and more. Purchase online or contact your favorite park for more information. Learn more about our Admission Programs including the Empire Pass.
(Located near Picnic Shelters)
Planning to get married at Baird? Consider having your reception at the Eagle's Nest on the Green, located within the park. Call the restaurant at (845) 471-8050 to inquire about catering options.

After Senate Republicans this week refused yet again to act responsibly on the Zika threat, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "It's hard to explain why, despite their own calls for funding, Democrats would block plans to keep women and babies safe from Zika."
Actually, it's easy to explain.
First, the money isn't enough. Republicans in the Senate and House remain stuck on a $1.1 billion emergency response, even though President Obama wants $1.9 billion and has shown why that amount is necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention backed him up.
Second, Republicans won't agree to a clean bill. To them, the Zika emergency is a chance to target...

TransMedics, Inc. Secures $36 Million Round of Financing Led by Abrams Capital Management
Andover, Massachusetts - November 27, 2012
TransMedics, Inc., the global leader in organ preservation technology, announced the closing of a $36 million financing round led by Abrams Capital with the participation of existing investors including Flagship Ventures, Hercules Technology Growth Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
TransMedics is revolutionizing the field of solid organ preservation for transplantation and is well positioned to become the worldwide market leader, said David Abrams, Managing Member of Abrams Capital. We led this investment because we believe that TransMedics has the right combination of superior products, market strategy and leadership to transform the organ transplant market and improve the quality of life for people around the world, said Travis Rhodes, Managing Director at Abrams Capital. Both Mr. Abrams and Mr. Rhodes have joined TransMedics Board of Directors.
We are committed to capitalizing on this market opportunity and creating significant shareholder value, said Dr. Waleed Hassanein, President and CEO of TransMedics, Inc. This financing enables us to complete our heart and lung FDA pivotal trials and expand our global commercial activities.
Revolutionizing ex- vivo perfusion of donor organs at leading transplant centers around the world, TransMedics Organ Care System (OCS) Heart device is recognized as a top medical innovation by Cleveland Clinic, CNN and Popular Science. Most recently, the OCS Lung device was featured in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, in an article detailing the superior clinical results in high-risk lung transplant recipients.
The OCS is the only portable preservation technology that maintains donor organs in a near-physiologic and functioning condition from donor to transplant recipient. The OCS has the potential to improve post-transplant clinical outcomes and significantly expand the number of transplant procedures performed annually based on its unique and proprietary capabilities to overcome the current challenges of cold storage of donor organs.

Chile's great Chuquicamata open pit mine is looking ahead to a new and prosperous future – underground.
After more than 100 years of production in what is now the world's largest copper open pit, Chuquicamata is paving the way for a complete transition from surface to underground excavation. The decision is due to depleting, profitable reserves and the increasing cost of additional waste removal as mining goes deeper. Added to this is the high energy cost of mining and transportation at this giant site which has grown to 5 km long, 3 km wide and 1 km deep.
Instead, Codelco Norte, the stateowned mining company, is going undeground where the "red metal" can not only be extracted from the rich orebody at lower cost but will also prolong the life of the Chuquicamata mine to 2060. The project aims to ramp up to full scale production by 2020 and development of the undground structure is making good headway. This first phase involves the construction of four tunnels, two for ventilation, one for access and one for transport. These total 20 km in length and are being driven by contractors Astaldi and Acciona Ossa, both using equipment from Atlas Copco.
For this phase, which started in 2012 and aims to be complete by year-end 2015, Atlas Copco has provided a fleet of Boomer XE3C and Boomer E2C drill rigs, Scooptram ST14 and Scooptram ST1030 LHD loaders as well Minetruck MT6020 trucks. In addition, Atlas Copco has established a Customer Center branch office in the town of Calama, about half an hour's drive from Chuquicamata, in order to be as close as possible to the site, to provide technical, logistical and service support as well as training for equipment operators.
The second and main phase of the project, which starts in 2016, will involve the construction of no less than 100 km of tunnels and drifts. These will be used for production, material transport, ventilation levels and auxiliary facilities such as crusher stations.
Astaldi and Acciona Ossa say they are therefore well equipped and confident to take on this second phase alongside the two other contractors bidding for the project, Züblin and Geovita.
Astaldi's current assignment is divided into three contracts: mine development, ventilation drifts and drifts for access and transport, all of which are on a huge scale. Using its fleet of two Boomer XE3 C, one Boomer E2 C and two Boltec LC bolting rigs, the company is currently developing an access tunnel and a transport tunnel in parallel with 180 m between them. The access drift has a cross section of 8.7 m wide x 5.9 m high, a gradient of 8% and will ultimately be 7.6 km in length. The transport drift is 9.3 m x 6.2 m, has a gradient of 15% and will be 6.3 km long. In time, this will be equipped with a giant conveyor belt that will carry the excavated ore and waste to the surface. At the 4.5 km point, the tunnels will also be connected by a 2.5 m diameter escape shaft installed at an inclination of 70 degrees from the horizontal. Average advance in the access tunnel is 272 m per month, while the average advance in the transport drift is 245 m/month. Both 48 mm and 51 mm holes are drilled for blasting and 38 mm holes are used for the installation of rock bolts.

Class is all a matter of taste, right? One person's champagne is another person's dishwater.
The same is probably true in the world of gardening, especially when it comes to selecting spring-flowering bulbs.
You could say all tulips are equal, but some tulips are just more equal than others.
For instance, there is no question that 'Spring Green' is one of the classiest bulbs around. It is a fabulous viridiflora-type with elegant white petals with a green stripe.
If tulips were cars, 'Spring Green' would be a Lexus. If tulips were wine, 'Spring Green' would be a vintage Dom Pérignon.
There is a yellow version, 'Yellow Spring Green' and there are other viridifloras worth having, such as Deirdre, Chinatown and Virichic, and but none of them is a patch on the pure class of 'Spring Green.' 'Exotic Emperor' is an entirely different class of tulip, being a fragrant, multi-petalled member of the earlyflowering Fosteriana group, but it also has stacks of class. Like 'Spring Green', it has green stripes, but with a flash of yellow. It has won awards and is noted for the sturdiness of its stems, as well as its light scent. It grows to about 40 cm.
Part of the definition of "class" as it relates to flowers often means the refinement of shape and structure of the bloom, as well as the subtlety of the colour. Ideally, the colour of the flower should be natural, something you would see in nature rather than jarring, concocted paint colour.
'Sweetheart' is a lemon yellow tulip with a white edge that has oodles of class. It has been described as the botanical equivalent of lemon meringue pie and the perfect partner for super-fragrant dark blue 'Peter Stuyvesant' hyacinths.
At Botanus, the Langley-based bulb mail order company run by the dynamic trio of Elke Wehinger, Pam Dangelmaier and Wendy Leroux, it has become customary each year to single out favourite bulbs as star performers.
While the women at Botanus all agree that 'Spring Green' is a top notch and super-classy pick , they have a few more colourful selections they also highly rate, such as 'Sensual Touch', a new fringe tulip.
It has densely petalled orangeybronze blooms with serrated edges and a touch of bright yellow on the tips.
For maximum impact, they recommend clumps of 'Sensual Touch' with forget-me-nots, blue muscari or blue dwarf irises.
"We also all like 'Monte Orange'," says Leroux. "This is definitely a musthave tulip for next year and it also has an enticing fragrance."
While there is never a shortage of choice in the tulip category where you will find virtually every imaginable colour available, the Botanus group thinks other outstanding "classy" picks for spring include 'Akebono', a new Japanese hybrid with pale yellow flowers with touches of red and green, 'Claudia', a mauve lily-flowered tulip with white edges, and 'Abu Hassan', a stylish purple tulip with golden yellow edges.
Clusiana is a species of tulip with exceptional long, slender stems and a delicate, small flower head. I have admired it ever since I saw it for the first time on a tour of Dutch and Belgium spring gardens a few years ago.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to find exactly the same tulips but 'Chrysantha' is the closest thing to it we have available here. With a lovely mix of red and yellow, it looks great dotted in irregular patterns throughout a border.
I made a mistake some years ago by dotting in 'Peppermint Stick', a pink and white form of 'Chrysantha' and it didn't look good on its own but might have been better in a solid clump.
Mono-coloured tulips also have a lot of charm and class, especially allblack varieties such as 'Queen of the Night' or all-whites like 'White Dream' and 'Ivory Floradale' or 'Tres Chic', but these more often than not need to be teamed up with quality underplantings like anemones or muscari or teamed up with a contrasting colour to have the most impact.
When it comes to classy daffodils, I have always thought 'Poeticus Recurvus' was about as classy as you could get, but now there is one called 'Tommy's White' that has all the quality of PR and being a little shorter doesn't topple over so easily and also has the same intensity of fragrance.
The Botanus ladies are smitten with 'Thalia', a very smart white that looks terrific planted in drifts, and 'Delnashaugh', which has white petals with an apricot-pink centre.
Such large-headed narcissus as 'Tahiti', 'Obham' and 'Irene Copeland' certainly look fantastic, but they need to be cut pretty quickly and brought inside before the rain knocks them over or they simply collapse under the weight of their own flower head.
'Geranium', a member of the super fragrant Poetaz class is a timeless classic, although 'Cheerfulness' and 'Yellow Cheerfulness' usually outsell it along with 'Bridal Crown', the most fragrant daffodil of them all.
Alliums rate as a classy spring flower, especially foolproof performers like Allium christophii and 'Purple Sensation', but more and more gardeners are falling in love with the often-overlooked little yellow Allium luteum and 'Mount Everest'.
And lastly, if you have ever seen a clump of the blue-grey iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' you will know how classy dwarf irises can be as early-spring bloomers, especially when generously planted to carpet under deciduous trees and shrubs. These irises offer a chic mix of blue and yellow with in between tones of grey in the petals.
All these bulbs are available by mail order from Botanus at www.botanus. com. Many can also be found at your local garden centre.

Tentative HIV "Cure" Presents a Guarded Sense of Hope
By Candace Y.A. Montague
December 15, 2010
On the heels of two major medical breakthroughs in HIV research this year (vaginal gel Tenofovir and the antiretroviral Truvada pill) comes a third development. Scientists in Germany have declared that they have found a potential cure for HIV and leukemia simultaneously. The announcement, originally published in a peer-reviewed journal called Blood, broke yesterday. In the journal, doctors in Berlin say they have found an agressive yet effective treatment that would restore a patient's T-cell count to one that would equal a person who is HIV negative. American scientists, while pleased, are very cautious about celebrating the news just yet.
The patient, a 44-year-old American named Timothy Brown, underwent treatment for HIV and his acute myeloid leukemia, (a cancer of the immune system) in 2007. Using stem cells from an adult donor (no embryos) who had an inherited gene mutation that left his body without the gene receptors involved in contracting HIV, Brown's doctors chose to use a stem cell transplant in lieu of the traditional stem cell therapy used for leukemia patients. They expected to treat his HIV while working on the cancer. After three years of study, the results were that Brown maintained a high CD4 count and no signs that the HIV was replicating in his system. The authors of the report concluded "the patient remains without any evidence for HIV infection since more than 3.5 years after discontinuation of ART (antiretroviral therapy). From these results, it is reasonable to conclude that cure of HIV infection has been achieved in this patient."
Brown had endured intense chemotherapy and full-body radiation to fight his leukemia. This kind of treatment is damaging to the immune system but can also help it become more receptive to new, HIV-resistant stem cells. Dr. Margaret Fischl, top AIDS researcher at the University of Miami, says "I would call this a functional cure. It's on the level and a very remarkable case. But would we do this with an HIV patient? No." The treatment is very debilitating and is above and beyond what most doctors would recommend to handle HIV. Dr. Michael Saag, researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham says, "We can't really apply this particular approach to healthy individuals because the risk is just too high. Especially when drugs can keep HIV in check in most cases. Unless someone with HIV also had cancer, a transplant would not likely be considered." Still, most doctors are excited about the news of a potential cure. No one is probably more excited than Timothy Brown who took a risk and in return has been given a second chance at life.

How America boosts the Afghan opium trade
By John Crowley
Five years ago, Jean-Sebastien Hertsens Zune went looking for his parents. He already had one set, a Belgian church organist and his wife, who adopted him as a baby from Guatemala and later moved the family to France. But he wanted to find his birth mother and father. When Zune was a teenager, his Belgian parents gave him his adoption file, holding back only receipts showing how much the process had cost. Most people pay little attention to their birth certificates, but for adoptees, these documents, along with notes about their relinquishment, tell an often patchy origin story.
Alex and Wendy love culture. It's how they spend their free time. It's what they talk about at dinner parties. When they go jogging or to the gym, they listen to podcasts on their phones. On Sunday nights they watch their favorite new shows. They go to the movies sometimes, but they were bummed out when MoviePass went south, so now they mostly stream things. They belong to book clubs that meet every couple of weeks. Alex and Wendy work hard at their jobs, but they always have a bit of time to check their feeds at work. What's in their feeds? Their feeds tell them about culture. Their feeds are a form of comfort. Their feeds explain things to them that they already understand. Their feeds tell them that everyone else is watching, reading, listening to the same things. Their feeds tell them about the people who make their culture, people who aren't so different from them, just maybe a bit more glistening. Alex and Wendy's feeds assure them that they aren't lonely. Their feeds give them permission to like what they already like. Their feeds let them know that their culture is winning.
Once, in an exuberant state, feeling filled with the muse, I told another writer: When I write, I know everything. Everything about the characters? she asked. No, I said, everything about the world, the universe. Every. Fucking. Thing. I was being preposterous, of course, but I was also trying to explain the feeling I got, deep inside writing a first draft, that I was listening and receiving, listening some more and receiving, from a place that was far enough away from my daily life, from all of my reading, from everything.
"I can't take chances with my life."
All his life he lived on hatred.
He was a solitary man who hoarded gloom. At night a thick smell filled his bachelor's room on the edge of the kibbutz. His sunken, severe eyes saw shapes in the dark. The hater and his hatred fed on each other. So it has ever been. A solitary, huddled man, if he does not shed tears or play the violin, if he does not fasten his claws in other people, experiences over the years a constantly mounting pressure, until he faces a choice between lunacy and suicide. And those who live around him breathe a sigh of relief.

Olympics Day 5: Highlights & Results
Scores and highlights from Day 5 of the Summer Olympics in London.
- FULL COVERAGE: 2012 Summer Games
36th straight Olympic win for US women
LONDON (AP) — Make it three straight Olympic routs for the U.S. women's basketball team, which has mowed down its first three games by an average margin of 36.6 points.
Angel McCoughtry scored 18 points and Tina Charles added 16 to lead the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team to an 89-58 victory over Turkey.
The Turks entered the game unbeaten and were expected to give the Americans their toughest test in the Olympics. That didn't happen.
Turkey was able to hang with the U.S. early in the game and had a one-point lead in the first quarter. But the Americans built a 15-point advantage by the half, and coasted home.
American gold in relay
LONDON (AP) — Pushed to the front by a tremendous anchor leg from Allison Schmitt, the United States has won the gold medal in the women's 4x200 freestyle relay at the Olympics. The Americans posted an Olympic record time of 7 minutes, 42.92 seconds. Teen sensation Missy Franklin got things started for the U.S., followed by Dana Vollmer, Shannon Vreeland and then Schmitt.
Australia settled for the silver nearly a second and a half behind. France won the bronze.
Another U.S. medal in swimming
LONDON (AP) — Nathan Adrian of Bremerton, Wash., is an Olympic champion. But by the slimmest of margins.
Adrian struck gold in the 100-meter freestyle. He finished in a time of 47.52 seconds, one-hundredths of a second in front of Australia's James Magnussen. Canadian Brent Hayden took the bronze.
Soni sets world record
LONDON (AP) — Rebecca Soni set a world record in the 200-meter breaststroke semifinals at the Olympics.
The American was timed 2 minutes, 20.00 seconds, shaving 0.12 seconds off the previous mark set by Annamay Pierse of Canada at the 2009 world championships in Rome in a now-banned bodysuit.
It was the fifth world record set in the pool at these games.
U.S. takes bronze in all-around
LONDON (AP) — American champ Danell Leyva (dan-EHL' LAY'-vuh) has added to the U.S. medal haul by capturing the bronze in men's gymnastics all-around. He added another step in his incredible journey from Cuban refugee to world-class athlete, closing the day with spectacular routines on parallel bars and high bar to finish third.
Japan's three-time world champ Kohei Uchimura (koo-HAY' oo-chee-MUR'-uh) won the gold, the silver went to Germany's Marcel Nguyen (noo-IHN').
Gold for Armstrong
HAMPTON COURT, England (AP) — Cyclist Kristin Armstrong of the United States won her second straight Olympic time trial gold medal. The former two-time world champion covered the 18-mile course south of London in 37 minutes, 34.82 seconds, beating silver medalist Judith Arndt of Germany by more than 15 seconds.
The 38-year-old Armstrong briefly retired after her triumph at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to start a family. But after delivering a son in 2010, she hopped back on the bike, with the London Games her primary focus.
U.S. lands bronze
WINDSOR, England (AP) — The U.S. women's quadruple skull team claimed a bronze medal today in the rowing competition. The team of Natalie Dell, Megan Kallmoe, Kara Kohler and Andrienne Martelli finished behind the winning boat from Ukraine.
U.S. team places third
LONDON (AP)— The U.S. team of Troy Dumais and Kristian Ipsen won the bronze in the men's synchronized 3-meter springboard. The team from China took the gold with Russia second.
It was the first Olympic medal of Dumais' long career. He finished fourth in the event at the 2000 Sydney Games and sixth four years later at Athens. After a 12-year medal drought, the Americans won a silver and two bronzes in three of the four synchro events. They didn't qualify in women's 10-meter platform.
Franklin, Phelps and Lochte advance
LONDON (AP) — In preliminary swimming action, American Missy Franklin qualified for this evening's semifinals in the women's 100-freestyle, and Michael Phelps opened defense of his title in the 200-meter individual medley, hours after becoming the most decorated Olympian ever with his 19th career medal.
Phelps' time of 1 minute, 58.24 seconds was good for the fourth-fastest time in the preliminaries. Teammate Ryan Lochte (LAHK'-tee) was second-quickest at 1:58.03. The 200 IM final is Thursday.
One Williams wins the other loses
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Family hopes for an Olympic gold medal are now resting on Serena Williams' shoulder. had 12 aces and rocketed past Vera Zvonareva (zvahn-uh-RAY'-vuh) to win 6-1, 6-0 and reach the quarterfinals in Olympic tennis. Williams had 32 winners to three for the Russian, who also lost when they met in the 2010 Wimbledon final.
Serena's sister Venus squandered a lead in each set and lost her third-round match to Angelique Kerber of Germany, 7-6, 7-6. Venus Williams was seeking a record fourth gold medal in Olympic tennis.
In other results, Roger Federer advanced to the quarterfinals. He is playing in his first tournament since winning a record-tying seventh Wimbledon title. However, Federer and Swiss teammate Stanislas Wawrinka (vah-VINK'-ah) lost in doubles second round action to a team from Israel.
Others advancing to the singles quarters was Novak Djokovic (NOH'-vak JOH'-kuh-vich), who hit 16 aces and came from behind to beat Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 4-6, 7-5, 6-1, and women's top-seed Victoria Azarenka (ah-zah-REN'-kuh).
Two Olympic tennis records were set today when Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares of Brazil defeated fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych (TOH'-mahs bur-DEEK') and Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic, 1-6, 6-4, 24-22. The second-round match had the most games, 63, in a best-of-three-set match in men's doubles in the Olympics. The third set, with 46 games, was the longest set in men's doubles at the Olympics.
Host nation wins first gold
WINDSOR, England (AP) — The host country has won its first two gold medals of the Olympics. The first win of the day came in women's pair rowing as Heather Stanning and Helen Glover finished first. Tour de France champ Bradley Wiggins of Britain then won the cycling gold in the men's time trial. The 32-year-old Londoner powered his way to victory on the 44-kilometer course south of London to win his seventh Olympic medal, taking over the British record he shared with former rowing great Steve Redgrave.
Bad day for U.S.
LONDON (AP) — The U.S. Olympic boxing team had a tough day losing all three matches. Bantamweight Joseph Diaz Jr. was beaten by the top-seed from Cuba, while heavyweight Michael Hunter tired in the third round of his loss to a Russian. In the super heavyweight division, American Dominic Breazeale lost to a Russian as well.
The U.S. has four boxers left in the competition.
U.S. tied by Spain
LONDON (AP) — The U.S. women's water polo team coughed up a three goal lead with less than three minutes to play and had to settle for a 9-9 tie with Spain. Kami Craig had four goals for the Americans who are looking for their first Olympic gold medal. Maica Garcia scored on the power play with under a minute to go to complete Spain's comeback.
Players tossed from Olympics for not trying to win
LONDON (AP) — The Badminton World Federation has confirmed that 4 women's doubles pairs have been disqualified from the Olympics after trying to lose matches to receive a more favorable place in the field.
The eight disqualified players are two from China, who are the world doubles champions, four from South Korea and two from Indonesia.
The players went before a disciplinary hearing today, a day after spectators at the arena booed their performance after it became clear they were deliberately trying to lose.
IOC president Jacques Rogge (ZHAHK ROH'-guh) says his organization may take further action against the athletes.
President calls U.S. athletes

However, light use of drugs and alcohol can be found at some powwows. One does not vigorously make out with ANYONE at these events, unless it is a dirty powwowNormal powwows usually involve a campfire, light background music, and soda.

The Stupidity Of 'You Must Be A Criminal' Copyright Taxes: The SD Card Edition
from the math-and-moore's-law deptFor years, we've discussed the various attempts up in Canada for the CPCC -- the Canadian Private Copying Collective -- to put its "you must be a criminal" tax on the iPod and on your ISP. Both efforts have failed, and now it appears they're just trying totally random stuff just for the hell of it. Howard Knopf explains that the CPCC's latest proposal includes a tax on memory cards:
50˘ for each electronic memory card with 1 gigabyte of memory or less, $1.00 for each electronic memory card with more than one gigabyte of memory but less than 8 gigabytes of memory, and $3.00 for each electronic memory card with 8 gigabytes of memory or more.What does this have to do with music? No one seems to know. The CPCC seems to be arguing that such cards are regularly used for making copies of music, but that's ridiculous. Perhaps some are using memory cards for such things, but it seems unlikely that it's a large percentage of such cards. They're regularly used in digital cameras and phones, but those have little to do with music most of the time.
The rates are also flat out ridiculous. We've already discussed how the levy in Canada represents around 90% of the cost of a CD-R in some cases. While this isn't quite that bad, it's starting out high, and the rates are static so it's only going to get worse. As Michael Geist explains:
The financial impact of the levy would be significant. A 2GB SD card currently sells for about $6.00 and this would add an additional dollar or almost 15% to the cost. Given that the levy would remain static (or even increase) but the costs of SD cards are dropping by roughly 30% annually, the percentage of levy in the overall cost would likely gradually increase over time. Moreover, music plays a small role in the use of memory cards. A recent report indicates that digital cameras are the primary market for SD cards with smartphones the second biggest (and fastest growing) market. Music is a small part of the equation, yet the CPCC is demanding payment for every memory card sold in Canada regardless of its intended or actual use.Another way to put it in perspective is via Knopf's original post, in which he notes that this is actually the second time the CPCC has tried this, and the last time around they wanted $0.008 per megabyte, and he does the math on that:
On today's typical 16 GB card that sells for about $30 or less, that would be a "tax" of $128 -- or about 400% -- which shows the CPCC's foresight and the application of Moore's Law.It's really quite astounding how little the legacy recording industry seems to understand technology and the advance of progress at times. A tax like this is massively damaging to their own interests in the long run, but they just don't seem to recognize it. In the meantime, as ridiculous as this is, Knopf notes that it still means there's going to be a lot of wasted money fighting over this:
Unfortunately, the way the Copyright Board works, it seems inevitable that one or more parties are going to have to spend a lot of money to convince the Board not to impose this levy -- or "tax" as most will call it. The CPCC will spend a lot of money -- which it has from undistributed levies -- to line up its usual expensive experts to provide evidence of its entitlement to this "tax". One or more parties will have to provide evidence and experts at great expense to refute this -- even though it seems so obviously wrong. But that's the way the Copyright Board mechanism works in this and other instances where a collective is entitled to file a proposed tariff.It's really quite stunning the sense of entitlement the industry feels here, that it can simply put a massive tax on a form of memory that is rarely used for music. Though, if it passes, and musicians really want to make some money, they might be better off getting jobs at Best Buy and pushing people to buy SD cards.

Just in case the words "Command & Conquer" and "free-to-play" hadn't got you wary enough for the upcoming C&C Generals 2, there's now this: the game is releasing without a singleplayer story mode.
While acknowledging that one could come later, Bioware Victory general manager John Van Caneghem told PC Gamer that his team "really want to get back to the roots of what made Command & Conquer great."
In his eyes, that means being able to "build a zillion units" and "go out and kill all the bad guys". Which is a shame. Because in my eyes - and I'm sure plenty of other people's as well - the roots of what made C&C great was a hammy story and even hammier cutscenes.

PhamFatale.com reaches 500 recipes!
This week, PhamFatale.com reached 500 recipes. It's truly surprising to me that there are over 500 recipes in my head, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding. In this case, the proof is also in the crème brulée, the risotto and the other dishes I've shared over the past year and a half.
I never in a million years imagined that publishing the recipes I prepare daily for and with my family and friends could have been so much fun. Food is an ephemeral art form, so it's easy to forget what ingredient combinations I've made in the past and what I've served.
The other neat side of the website I've enjoyed a lot is to be able to interact with other food lovers from around the world and also make dear friends locally. I'm always surprised at how readers find the website, whether it is through another food site, the newspaper or from a friend. Thanks so much for joining me in my culinary adventures. It's wonderful fun experimenting with recipes, playing with photography by switching lenses and getting the children interested and familiar with cooking. You've probably seen the dietary restrictions in my large family. They aren't always simple to fulfill but they're always a great adventure!
Thanks for reading! And stay tuned as new surprises will arrive soon.
For now, here's an example of a menu I would typically serve for a dinner party, gathering my favorite recipes including Vietnamese, French and Indian cuisines. Enjoy!

Ezra Klein - The Obama administration doesn't care about the public option and Congress doesn't care about cost control
Color me unsurprised that Barack Obama didn't mention the public option in his remarks to the Senate last weekend. One of the dynamics that hasn't really penetrated in this debate is that the Obama administration is mainly interested in the cost controls. The president will throw the public option overboard if Susan Collins asks him nicely. Conversely, Peter Orszag will lay down in traffic to save the Medicare Commission. Generally, Democrats want to reform the health-care system because they want to cut the number of uninsured. The Obama administration's commitment to health-care reform stems from their belief that it's the first step towards cutting long-term deficits.In a lot of ways, Obama is proving to be a much more conservative President than one might have expected. Despite how the teabaggers might want to portray him as a raving liberal, he's decidedly not. Lord knows he's disappointing his liberal base, myself included, on many issues, with his cautious and often centrist approach. I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him, since if nothing else he seems to be taking a very responsible line. On this point, he is probably right -- that long-term cost control needs to take precedence over the liberals' fantasy dream plan for health care reform.

The Adobe Creative Residency:
Program details and how to apply.
Everyone has a dream project, but few people have the time and resources to pursue it. That's why we created the residency. Our mission is simple: to support creative individuals in the early stages of their careers and foster a culture of creating and sharing. Find out more about the program and how to apply.
Program details
How the residency works
The Adobe Creative Residency is a structured program designed to help you quickly reach your goals as a creative professional. Your focused residency project is the vehicle that takes you from where you are now to where you want to be in your creative career.
Throughout the year, you'll proactively make inspiring and innovative work, try new tools and workflows, refine your process, and engage with others to share your progress, discoveries, and outcomes. You'll also attend events, speak at conferences, and collaborate with other leaders in your field.
"The Creative Residency has taught me to take more creative chances. I've said yes to opportunities the old me would've found scary—like public speaking and drawing on walls! It also introduced me and my work to some of my biggest design heroes, which has helped me be more confident in putting myself out there."
— Christine Herrin, 2016 Creative Resident
The benefits of being a Creative Resident
- An entire year to focus on a personal creative project
- Adobe support and expertise to help you realize your project
- Access to Adobe Creative Cloud
- Access to hardware as needed for the duration of your residency
- Opportunities to meet and receive guidance from leading creatives
- Access to creative events including Adobe MAX and 99U
- Increased exposure and recognition in the creative community
- Full salary and health benefits
"The Creative Residency has allowed the opportunity and laid the foundation for my career as a content creator. I will be forever thankful for the freedom to just create. The progress that I made in my Residency was only possible by devoting 100 percent of my energy to my creative projects — something that would have been impossible without the Creative Residency."
— Sara Dietschy, 2016 Creative Resident
How to apply
Please read the following application guidelines to be sure you have the best possible chance of success:
1. Before you apply, consider the following aspects of the program:
- Career experience. We're looking for applicants who are early in their creative careers, though we do consider applicants who are switching from one creative field to another or from non-design careers. Applicants should have at least a few years of education, training, and/or experience in the field of their proposed projects.
- Travel requirements. Residents travel up to 25% of the year for Creative Jams, Adobe MAX, 99U, and other conferences. Residents work with the program coordinator to determine which trips are most beneficial for their projects, and travel is spread out over the year.
- Full-time commitment. If, during the residency year (May-April), you'd be working another job, taking a long vacation, or fulfilling any other commitment that would prevent you from investing yourself full-time in the residency, you are not eligible to be a resident. If you're a graduating student, you're eligible only if your tests and coursework are complete by the end of May.
- Work ownership and licensing. Residents retain ownership of all the work they create during the residency, but they grant Adobe a license to use that work in promotional materials, at events, and in other venues. Adobe partners with residents to ensure the integrity of their work wherever it's used.
2. Take time gathering your application materials.
We'll be looking at your project proposal alongside your past work samples to determine whether they're a good match for the program. Be prepared to answer the following kinds of questions in your application:
- What is your project and how will it help you build toward a career doing this type of work full-time after the residency?
- How will this project build off of work you've been doing?
- How will you share your project and process with the creative community?
- What will others learn from your project?
- What digital or analog tools will you use?
- How will mobile apps be integrated into your workflow?
- What will your creative process be from beginning to end?
- What will your monthly schedule look like?
3. Carefully select the past projects you want to share with us.
You'll need to share three past projects along with links to your online portfolio and/or Behance page. Research the best portfolio styles by checking out Behance projects from some of our past residents, including Jessica Bellamy and Rosa Kammermeier.
4. Provide budget details for your proposed residency project.
Include costs related to your project alone. You don't need to include salary details or travel or living expenses.

2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO Long TermerPosted in Vehicle Reviews on July 1, 2006
This is the third report with our '05 Nissan Frontier, and so far it has done everything from daily-driver commuter duty to acting as a chase vehicle for Four Wheeler outings. So far, we can't say enough good things about this truck, especially in regards to its superb fun-to-drive factor and excellent four-wheeling skills.
The Frontier is the type of vehicle anyone can hop in and drive right away; the learning curve is very short, and the truck is so ruggedly built-with its vitals tucked up above the framerails and ample skidplating-that it is very forgiving to drive. Even novice four-wheelers have found this truck easy to use in the dirt-well, once they figured how to operate low range and the rear locker. The six-speed manual transmission is one of the best ones on the market, although Reverse can be elusive for those who don't know to push down.
Testers are still commenting on the right-on exterior styling, while the staff is still split on the interior. Some applaud the back-to-basics materials and styling, while others lament Nissan for not luxing it up like Toyota has done on the Tacoma. On the flip side, a number of logbook entries have staffers who swore by the Toyota now noting that the Frontier is higher up on their personal list.
While our extended-cab has proven useful, those testers with families wished we had ordered the Crew Cab version, with its real rear doors and fullsized seats, as opposed to the fold-up jumpers in the rear of our truck. We suppose this would make the "Are we there yet?" questions less frequent with the kiddies basking in their own space and us not having to yell "shotgun!" when two or more are vying for seating accommodations on the way to lunch.
With one more quarter left on our Frontier loan until we have to say goodbye, we are going to be enjoying every minute of it. Living with the Frontier for the last nine months or so has proven what a capable little truck Nissan can produce. Nissan has done a good job on the Titan, but a fantastic job on the Frontier-a fun little truck that does everything well.

"Targeting Metals in Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases"
"Targeting Metals in Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases"
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Nov 20, 2012) - Prana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: PRAN) (ASX: PBT) today announced that the New York Academy of Science is hosting a symposium on November 29th titled "Targeting Metals in Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases." Dr. Rudy Tanzi, the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University and Prana's Chief Scientific Advisor, and Dr. Robert Cherny, Prana's Head of Research, will take part in the symposium. The presentations will explore the causative events leading to the neuropathology that drives Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington disease. This symposium will examine how these findings led to the discovery of small molecules designed to restore the balance of transition metals in the brain that are critical for neuronal function, reduce the accumulation of aggregated target proteins, and could have a disease-modifying effect. A review of Prana's PBT2 clinical history will be presented.
Dr. Tanzi said, "Researchers are increasingly focusing on the role of metals in neurodegenerative disease, providing data that promotes optimism for the outcome of Prana's trials. As we learn more about the genetics of Alzheimer's disease it appears that the disease is triggered by the excessive accumulation of the amyloid beta protein in the brain. Prana's therapeutic strategy for treating neurodegenerative disease involves a very different mechanism of action than that of other anti-beta-amyloid drugs, which have largely failed."
The symposium is presented by the Brain Dysfunction Discussion Group at the New York Academy of Sciences and is free for Academy members. Both members and non-members can register to attend the symposium or tune in via the live webinar at www.nyas.org/MetalsandAD (register free from Monday 26 Nov). Media should RSVP to Diana Friedman at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey All, I have been sick for a week now with a very bad cold/flu type thing.

Does anyone know of an effective, non-prescription, Korean cold medicine that I could ask for by name?

text: In the Shop: Finish the Fence February 8, 2013 08:17 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Dan Anderson Farm Journal Columnist Email You're adept at prepping your planter for planting season. You understand the importance of properly adjusted disk openers, of centering closing wheels over the seed furrow and calibrating seed meters. But every year when your plants emerge you're a few slats shy of the fabled "picket fence" final population everybody talks about. Inner disk opener scrapers wear narrower with age, allowing soil to disrupt seed depth in the furrow. In many cases the missing slats can be traced to wear or problems with secondary components that don't always get the attention that disk openers, gauge wheels and other primary parts earn. Here are five components on planters that are often overlooked during annual maintenance: Inner disk opener scrapers are mounted between the front edges of disk openers. If they are worn, moist dirt can build between the disk openers, spread their leading edges and eventually plug the openers so they can't turn. In dry soil, if there is too big of a gap between the scraper and the inside surfaces of the disk openers, it allows loose dirt to fall into the seed furrow and disrupt seed depth. Inner scrapers are not adjustable and usually wear in proportion to their disk openers. Problems arise when new disk openers are installed without replacing the inner scrapers. New inner scrapers should be installed any time disk openers are replaced. Impacts with rocks can crack the ends of seed tubes and leave ragged discharge points. Or, if a seed tube isn't mounted squarely in the row unit, disk openers can wear through one side at the lower end of the tube. Any damage that causes seed to bounce, ricochet or hesitate as it exits the seed tube disrupts seed spacing in the furrow—creating a missing slat or two in the proverbial picket fence. Seed firmers not only wear thinner over time, but lose their elasticity and, hence, their ability to press seeds into place. Seed firmers should have squared or rounded bottom edges. Firmers with V-shaped bottom edges risk pushing seeds to the side of the furrow rather than to the bottom. Firmers should "snap" firmly into the seed furrow when lifted several inches and then released. Lethargic spring action causes inconsistent seed depth. Compare a new seed firmer to an old one to see how much has worn away and how much elasticity has been lost. Each planter manufacturer has its own way of connecting the drill shaft on the center frame to drill shafts on the wing sections of folding planters. No matter what type of coupler is used, make certain both halves of each coupler are aligned when the planter is unfolded and in field position. Then use a wrench to turn the powered side of the connection several complete revolutions. If the coupling doesn't turn smoothly, re-align or repair the couplers. Drill shaft bearings can drag or catch and cause uneven seed spacing, even though the bearings look fine. Plastic seed firmers can wear thin and lose elasticity over time. Replace seed firmers with V-shaped bottom edges and those without sufficient elasticity. Inner disk opener scrapers wear narrower with age, allowing soil to disrupt seed depth in the furrow. With the planter raised, use a wrench to turn by hand each segment of the drill shaft on a planter. If one segment turns harder than others, or has noticeable jerks or catches when rotated, remove drive chains or cables from all seed units on that segment to identify if it is from seed units or drill shaft bearings. If the drill shaft still turns hard with all the seed units disconnected, check for a faulty drill shaft bearing. One by one, unbolt each bearing housing from its mounting bracket and slide it slightly away from its mounting point on the drill shaft. With the bearing free to turn, it's easy to identify damaged bearings that can add just enough imprecision to prevent a picket fence final stand.
