Too Much Sugar!
Almost all the recipes I have found that are interesting and I would like to do uses way too much sugar for my taste. I have lowered sugar content from 1 1/2 cups to 1 cup of sugar with no problems but some of the recipes for cookies, cakes, and other items uses 2 to 3 cups of sugar. On these recipes if I go from 2 or 3 cups down to 1 cup would I need to make changes to the other parts of the recipe. My husband is diabetic and I like to only include 1 cup of sugar the most. Any thoughts on this?

One of the blogs that I read (or try to once a month or so) with great enjoy is Mike Grehan's and on the 2nd of August he reported seeing a "social search experiment" at Google.co.uk ( I know I am late). After tests I have not been able to produce this my self it is a interesing twist to the social part of search and is another indication that Google is testing how to move in this aspect of search.
Just for those looking for a good digital camera (and that goes for Mike also) try the Nikon D80, great stuff!

There are moments while talking with Robert Redford when you can see that 1970s sex symbol peeking through from a weathered 77-year-old face — starting when he rises from a couch in a New York publicist's office, looking amazingly fit in jeans, white T-shirt and cordovan cowboy boots. Settling in for a brief interview, one's tempted to lean across the coffee table and tuck back a lock of his thick, only slightly graying hair, just like Barbra Streisand did in "The Way We Were." This smile is still straight out of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." The voice as seductive as it was in "All the President's Men" or "Three Days of the Condor."
In case it isn't obvious, in other words, Redford's still got it. And anyone needing proof of that fact will be convinced by his newest movie, a man-against-nature thriller called "All Is Lost" in which he plays a nameless character whose sailboat runs afoul of a shipping container in the Indian Ocean. The film, written and directed by J.C. Chandor ("Margin Call") chronicles his week-long attempt to keep his boat afloat and stay alive. And Redford thoroughly dominates the drama, in which he's the sole star and in which he utters just a few words of dialogue, putting his body through moments of watery peril, hopelessness and existential terror.
For the 106-minute running time of "All Is Lost," Redford delivers something of a master class in the art of screen acting, using his prime instrument — his body — to deliver a galvanizing, physically grueling, deeply emotional performance that would be electrifying coming from someone half his age. The fact that it's Redford up there, battling the elements, refusing to go gently, embodying the hopes, fears, desires and recriminations of the generation of which he's been so emblematic, makes "All Is Lost" not just thrilling, but profound.
On this rainy day in New York, Redford bears not a trace of the stresses he went through making "All Is Lost," which was filmed in the same Baja, Calif., water tanks as "Titanic." He's even getting used to the idea that the movie is a success — a fact that first dawned on him at the Cannes Film Festival, where he saw it for the first time at a gala black-tie premiere. "I had not seen anything," he says. "I had not looked at the monitor between takes, I didn't go to dailies, I took myself out of that. So when the lights came down I didn't know what to expect." He was prepared for the worst, he recalls. "And when it went the other way, I just didn't know what to do with it. I did not know how to behave."
It's entirely in keeping with Redford's wary, often ambivalent relationship with success that he didn't quite know what to make of his latest one. This is a man who came to New York in the 1950s in order to be a painter, and instead found himself drawn — despite his inborn shyness and California-bred contempt for shallow movie culture — to acting. A man who, when stardom began to find him in the 1960s, responded by buying up land in Utah, the better to retreat from it. The man who, when he saw the studio culture changing in the 1980s, didn't "lean in," but built his own nonprofit institute, where he could nurture filmmakers interested in making the small, independent, often subversive films he himself produced whenever the system would let him. This is the man whose watchwords have always been: At the height of your greatest success, always go back to zero.
"That's right," Redford says today. "Be careful of success, it has a dark side." In a way, "All Is Lost" is a product of the success of the Sundance Institute and Sundance Film Festival, which Redford spent most of the 1980s and 1990s building and protecting, at the expense of his own acting and directing career. "Yeah, I got off my stride a bit with my own work," he admits. "I kind of woke up and said, wait a second, I need to go back to what it is that I do."
Now he's restoring the balance. Last spring, he directed and starred in the political thriller "The Company You Keep." He has revived longstanding plans to direct and star in the adaptation of Bill Bryson's book "A Walk in the Woods," and next year he'll appear in the comic-book action-adventure "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." With "All Is Lost," however, he has tackled something deeper and more challenging on any level, aesthetic or physical.
"Its purity is what attracted me," he says of Chandor's script. "It was very bold, I was attracted by that. There's no dialogue, I was attracted by that. It was not going to have a lot of special effects. Even though we were going to be filming in tanks, it was going to be real rain and wind. It was a very pure experience that I felt had gone missing [in movies]. It was a chance for me to be a part of going back to that."
It was also a chance for Redford finally to work with one of the hundreds of promising young filmmakers who got their start at Sundance, a roll call that includes names like Soderbergh, Linklater and Tarantino. When Chandor's film "Margin Call" made its debut at the festival in 2011, he handed Redford the script for "All Is Lost" (which, with no dialogue, amounted to 30-some pages). "J.C. is the first and only filmmaker of all the ones I've supported who's ever asked me to be in a film!" Redford says, adding that the reason for the reticence is "anybody's guess." (He has since agreed to star in "The Old Man and the Gun," with Sundance alum David Lowery at the helm.)
It took the actor 10 minutes to say yes to "All Is Lost." At that point, he says, he wanted to put himself entirely in the service of a director, with no second guessing or kibitzing. "I just want to be an actor," he recalls telling Chandor. "I'll put myself in your hands, and let's go. There was not one moment where I thought about directing. I never gave him any pointers, we never discussed it, because I trusted him."
Chandor notes that Redford had just finished post-production work on "The Company You Keep" when he showed up on the "All Is Lost" set. The minute he arrived, that last project — as well as Sundance and environmental causes and Redford's activism in the arts — melted away. "I think he really enjoyed, after all those years of trying to wear all those different hats, just absolutely closing off and becoming a pure actor again," Chandor says.
The word "pure" comes up a lot when discussing "All Is Lost," and rightfully so: It is pure visual storytelling at its most compelling and an example of pure screen acting at its most physical and expressive. Redford did as many of his own stunts as possible, and when it became clear that he could handle them, Chandor began to see how far he could push his leading man, who in turn rose to nearly every challenge. Aching, wet, cold and bone-tired every night, the actor resorted to a time-honored cure: "Tequila," he says with a laugh. "I'm proud of [the movie] because it's a total performance. But it did take its toll."
"All Is Lost" represents another kind of purity for Redford, one that he thought he left behind when he gave up painting for acting, one that he re-discovered when he began directing in the 1980s, but that he rarely found as an ambivalent actor-for-hire for studios that just wanted him to look good and little else. For the first time in decades, the movie star Redford was never comfortable being and the artist he thought he'd left behind have fused, in a film that works as vehicle and spectacle, but that's also risky, rigorous and deeply meaningful.
"I don't know how to express it, I don't know how to describe it, but I agree with you," he says softly. "Something seems to be coming together."

Treworgy Planetarium
Stars: The Original Global Positioning System
To you, they're pretty. To sailors, they were the difference between life and death. And in the Treworgy Planetarium at Mystic Seaport, you can get a lesson in celestial navigation using the stars, planets, and heavenly bodies of the season. The Treworgy Planetarium itself was designed specially for Mystic Seaport by Armand Spitz in 1960.
Each season the Planetarium's daily program shows you how to locate and identify the stars, planets, and constellations in the sky at that time of year. These live programs last about 30 minutes and include a few basic points about using the stars for navigation. Slide projectors in the Planetarium are used to show images of special interest. Different programs and presentations are offered throughout the year, from "Finding Your Way By the Stars" to "Celebration of Winter Stars and Light."
Inside the Planetarium
The stars and planets are projected overhead onto the surface of a 30-foot diameter dome. About 1,200 can be shown. The planets, sun, and moon are projected by individual lights.
Other special effects that can be projected are a geocentric view of the earth, circles, triangles, meridians and coordinate grids for navigational purposes.

LONDON (AP) — Official figures show that inflation in Britain rose to a 14-month high of 2.9 percent in June.
The increase from May's 2.7 percent rate, reported Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics, was slightly less than anticipated and may provide policymakers at the Bank of England some extra breathing space to work out what further measures they can take to help the British economy.
However, analyst Chris Williamson of Markit.com says that figure has added "to fears that stubbornly high price pressures could smother — or at least subdue" the economic recovery that has been slowly taking hold in Britain.
"But inflation clearly remains the UK's bug-bear and calls into question just how long this strong growth can persist for," Williamson said. "High prices look set to continue to erode spending power, curbing the overall pace of economic growth."
Though growth in the first quarter measured a limp 0.3 percent, many analysts predict the figure set for release later this month will be more robust.
The figure comes only one day before the Bank of England is set to release minutes of its first Monetary Policy Committee meeting under new Gov. Mark Carney. The bank has consistently voted against pumping more money into the British economy through a process called quantitative easing, though market watchers are anxious to see if Carney votes in favor. So far, the bank has put 375 billion pounds ($579 billion) into the economy in hopes of revving up growth.
Though the Bank has a target to keep inflation around 2 percent, policymakers have shown a greater willingness of late to look past temporary increases amid fears that raising interest rates to lower inflation would hurt the recovery.
Unlike the U.S. Federal Reserve, which aims to control inflation and also increase employment, the Bank of England's exclusive mission has been to keep inflation close to target.

Andrew Carroll
- Full name Andrew Carroll
- Birth date January 6, 1989
- Birth place Gateshead
- Current age 29 years 286 days
- Height 6 ft 3 in
One of England's brightest young talents, Carroll made a name for himself in the 2010-11 season when, despite a number of off-pitch incidents, he elevated himself among the top strikers in the Premier League, securing a record-breaking move to Liverpool on a dramatic final day of the 2011 January transfer window. First appearing as a late substitute for Newcastle at the age of just 17 years and 300 days, Carroll became the youngest ever player to represent the club in Europe, in a match against Palermo in November 2006. After being awarded the 'Wor Jackie Milburn Trophy' in 2007, for being the brightest rising star of North-East football, Carroll spent an unsuccessful six month loan spell at Preston North End, managing just one Championship goal in 11 appearances.
Upon his return to Newcastle though, his quality began to show, and the departure of several key attacking players following the club's relegation to the Championship in 2009, proved to be a blessing in disguise for the striker. Scoring 17 goals in 39 appearances, Carroll formed a solid partnership with Peter Lovenkrands, with the duo scoring more than half of the club's goals in the season as they were promoted to the Premier League at the first attempt, as champions.
Back in the top flight, Carroll was relishing the chance to test himself against the best and continued his prolific scoring form from the previous season, ensuring that he was the Premier League's leading English striker for much of the season. High-profile goals against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool saw his star continue to rise and he was linked with a big-money move away from St James' Park. Sure enough, after Liverpool sold Fernando Torres for £50 million, they dug deep to bring Carroll to Anfield for £35 million on January 31, 2011, making him the most expensive English footballer of all time.
His career has, however, been blighted by a number of negative off the field incidents, as he has twice been in court charged with assault. But after a tough start to life at Liverpool Carroll finally found his feet in time to help the Reds win the Carling Cup in 2012, their first trophy in six years.
An England call-up for Euro 2012 followed, where Carroll scored with a trademark header to help the Three Lions see off Sweden in the group stages. That was not enough to convince new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers that there was a role for the striker on hs return: Carroll was loaned to newly promoted West Ham United for the 2012-13 season.
Strengths: A true No. 9, Carroll has the strength and power to match it with the very best defenders in the Premier League. His outstanding heading ability, coupled with a strong work ethic, make him a handful for any opposition.
Weaknesses: His temperament off the pitch is the main issue, while his inexperience also leads him to make the odd rash decision.
Career high: Scoring an exceptional hat-trick in a 6-0 win over Aston Villa, marking the perfect return to the Premier League for Newcastle on August 22, 2010; it was one of a number of impressive displays that led to his first England cap against France in November.
Career low: Amongst the number of off the field incidents Carroll has been involved in, the most embarrassing from a playing perspective would have to be being sent home whilst on international duty for the England Under-19 side, after breaking a curfew during preparation for a match against Romania U-19.
Style: Powerful, strong and confident, a potential star of the future.
Quotes: "As for Carroll, he is somebody with a genuine chance of emulating Alan Shearer, but history tells you that guys who continually find themselves on the front page never turn into anything." Former Liverpool captain Alan Hansen, November 2010.
Trivia: Part of Carroll's bail conditions for one court appearance was that he was forced to live with Newcastle club captain Kevin Nolan, who put him on an 11pm bedtime.

Man acknowledges shooting at White House in 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man is facing at least 10 years in prison after acknowledging that he shot an assault rifle at the White House two years ago.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez pleaded guilty Wednesday to two of the 19 charges against him as a result of the November 2011 shooting. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will drop the remaining charges. That includes the most serious charge he faced, attempting to assassinate the president, which carried a potential life sentence.
No one was injured in the shooting, but it left a number of bullet marks on the executive mansion.
Prosecutors say Ortega-Hernandez told acquaintances before the shooting that President Barack Obama was the Antichrist and "the devil" and that he needed to kill him. A judge set sentencing for January.

You know that photographer ?
I love the control of my 4x5 but can't keep it fed with the film it expects, so for several years, I've been using my PC lenses on my Nikon digital bodies and now on the D800 as needed.Is it as easy and full of control as the 4x5? No this is a PIA to use compared to even my Tachahara and any lens I would put on it. However, it doesn't cost me a couple of Polaroids, and a couple sheets of film for each image.For the most part, using the 24 PCE and the 85 PC within the limitations of the focal lengths and using a modified TC-14e, combined with the crop features of the D800 and I'm happy, especially since I can now shoot more quickly in the field and see the results as I shoot.Sure, there are limitations such as not being able to shift other than parallel or perpendicular depending upon how the lens is set up, but being able to not have to pack all the bulk of the larger format, having to get the film processed and today, getting it scanned on top of it all, and despite the limitations on geometry control, I'm still quite happy with the results I get and simply work within the limitations.Geometry control using the PC lenses on a D800 can be done and it works fine for most situations. There are times that these limitations do get in the way but with some forethought and mastery of the craft gets me by and my clients are none the wiser. It's still the final image that counts and being able to fine-tune in Photoshop lessens the physical limitations the tools.Is it worthwhile for one to go to a MFD back and specialized bodies and lenses to regain total control? If you've got the money, time and patience, go for it. If you need to get the job done and not have your time and money dumped into the most expensive moving target, than a D800 and PCE lenses will do the job.
I see many posts about the fact that D800 killed MFDB. But... As far as I know (I may be wrong) you can't do tilt/shift with a D800 as you do with a view camera. Because of micro lenses used on the D800. Right or wrong ? The Nikon 24mm Tilt/Shift lense doesn't do it the you do it with a view camera. Only digital backs can do it no ? Doing a nice Scheimpflung with a D800 seems to be not possible.
Also when one needs to do big enlargements (2m or more) then the DB still is the king in its realm no ?
So why comparing the two systems ?
Is a Honda supercar better than a Ferrari ? It's as fast, as safe (or as unsafe...). But... And it's not olny a cosmetic subject. For sure using a Hassy H or a Phase one system to shoot sport is not the easiest choise. Bit some do it and it's just beautiful.
Why do all the images I love and that the aspect nails me on the wall are all coming from MFDB ? Question of precision/sharpness allied to smooth transitions. A bit like the difference between my beloved Hassy V lenses compared to the Mamyia RZ lenses. Both are wonderful, but different. I highly prefer the presision and smouthness (sorry I'm not english, so I may not use the correct words, I hope you will understand my thought).
A question : if you can have a Hassy H or phase one system or Alpa system for the price of a D800 system, wich one will you choose ?
Another concern : I very often shoot sunsets with the sun right in the middle of the lense. No issue with my Hassy V with T* lenses. But with my dslr (oly) it´s a nightmare, no way to have a sharp sun with color into it, it´s a wite circle and the light kind of overflaw the photosites. It seems to be problem with small photosites. I also had the issue on a canon dslr ( dont remember wich one). I.m afraid the D800 has lts of chances to have the same issue. Didnt have that issue with a H4D50.Here is what I want to do concerning the sun: http://jeanmabar.fr/route-des-cretes-et-pointe-rouge/ specialy the images where the sun is still yellow.
Here is what I want to avoid, it is really underexposed, but still no texture in the sun. With Hassy and a provia ou ekta, I wouldn't have such problem.Yes, in that picture you see the sun is yellow. Done with Hassy 503CX, Tessar 8/500 and provia 100F. f22.
I think that, from what I saw, the gape between dslr and mfdb isn't filled by the D800, depends on what makes a good picture for the one who looks at it.
Trying not to be too rude here, but: have you considered using acrylics? Or maybe oils? I won't comment on what I think about these images subjectively, but objectively from an information entropy point of view there's not much content in those images. You really don't even need a camera to convey whatever message/feeling you're trying to convey with those
Plus, it seems like one of the main reasons that amateurs and some, uh, "professionals" get MFDB is for the exclusivity. In English it's called "outgunning the client": meaning to have more expensive equipment than the client in order to APPEAR more professional. But, if medium format systems cost the same, wouldn't that then eliminate the MAIN PURPOSE of buying medium format systems (for some people at least)
The good thing about Mars, since nobody will ever get there, is that any old crap can be written about it without fear of informed contradiction!
How's that for the perfect, positive spin on Catch 22?
Far better than attempting to fix this world today.
Don't tell me you do not belive in aliens !!! You don't think Star Wars is a true story ? Sorry, my english is too poor to enderstand that one, could you explain ?And tomorrow ?Next week ?
There is never any time like the present to start building for the future. And if you think 35mm is good enough for this stage of your career, then youd better hope that your clients are also willing to settle for good enough. The best clients, however, are almost never willing to settle for good enough. And why should they, when there are photographers out there who can provide the best?And providing the best is what Hasselblad and the new H5D are all about.
You are perfectly right if it is possible to make the picture in several shots.
Well, you are right, usually when you need a scheimpflung that means you have time in front of you.The problem is not really the price. It depens how much you buy it. Of course at the price for a new equipment MFDB 60mpix, it is not affordable. But I just found a phase one 645df+/80mm LS/P65+ for around 8.000 euros, 6000 shots for the back, body + 80mm new. And with warranty. So of course it is more expensive than a D800, but the first thing is that I'm used to MF (film) since a long time and or 4x5 (since a shorter time), I don't like to shoot with a DSLR (I'm not confortable with the view finder and the small size of the body), I prefer bigger equipment.What I don't understand in that discussion is that I started it to have a objective viewpoint and I almost always have answers about the price. It's like if you speak about super cars possibilities and the answer is always : Toyota is cheaper and is also a fast car. That is not the subject.The advantage of a DB is that it can be mounted on a various type of equipement. I'm used to work at iso 100 on my HAsselblad. I don't need high iso.For me shooting landscape with a DSLR is a non sense, not because of the resolution only (right the D800 can do a lot), I didn't see any review or test that shows a equal IQ in similar conditions between D800 and DB. Not even one. I can see a very good resolution, good shadows, in fact good and quite equivalent technical specification regarding the output file. But not the same IQ, far from that. The IQ isn't only a comparison between numbers. For me if one limits his appreciation of the IQ to numbers, that means the person don't look at the right things in the picture. It is only my humble viewpoint. And the difference between many people writing in this topic is that I consider that my viewpoint is my viewpoint it has no absolute value. It is my truth, a viewpoint. Not THE truth.It's a little bit like the difference between using a 50-100 iso film on a MF instead of a 400 iso film, for small prints. You do not see the grain in both cases. But it is not the same result. None is better than the other one, it is just different. Or it is like sayin that a 4x5 negative is better that a 6x6 MF negative only because it has more grain for the same part of the scenery. That's stupid. Not the same lenses, not demanding the salme thing to the lebnse, not the same way to work with, etc. Considering a picture is good because it sharp and has lots of details and another one is bad only because it has only few details is a very very narrow viewpoint.Anyway I bought the phase one and am very happy with it ! And prefere a lot to shoot with it than with my DSLR.
I did suggest generating them in photoshop, if you don't have the skills it doesn't take long to acquire them with practice.

Manchester Crimewatch: City man says he was in jail and could not appear in court
April 04. 2014 9:37PM
MANCHESTER — Jacob Valley, 19, of 4 Bethel Court, was in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Friday on an electronic bench warrant from Hooksett District Division issued after he failed to appear in that court on a willful concealment charge.
But Valley protested, saying he wasn't trying to avoid court in Hooksett. He had a plea agreement with prosecutors. "I would have gone if I wasn't incarcerated," he said, telling Judge William Lyons that he is being held in the Valley Street Jail.
The police prosecutor requested the $500 cash/surety bail on the Hooksett warrant, but Lyons set bail at $100 cash/surety. Valley is scheduled to appear in Hooksett on Monday.
Stolen property charges
Tyler Fitzgerald, 28, of 164 Main St., Westford, Mass., was arraigned on seven misdemeanor charges of receiving stolen property and six of theft by deception. He asked Lyons for personal recognizance bail, saying: "I have a 40-hour week job."
But police prosecutor Sgt. Stephen Reardon requested $5,000 cash/surety bail, saying Fitzgerald has a seven-page criminal record. He said Fitzgerald was brought to court from the Belknap County Jail and faces a burglary charge in Merrimack County Superior Court.
Fitzgerald asked Lyons for personal recognizance bail, saying: "I would come back (to court)." Lyons set bail at $3,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the alleged theft victims and barring Fitzgerald from a music store, several pawn shops and a metals firm where he allegedly sold stolen items. Trial was set for May 8.
Burglary charge
Bail on a burglary charge was continued at $2,000 personal recognizance for Linda Withington on Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
Withington, 64, of 275 Meadow Fox Lane, Chester, could enter no plea to the felony, which alleges she entered the Concord Street residence of her ex-boyfriend Thursday and took a guitar off the wall and tried to steal the man's phone.
Bail conditions bar Withington from the Concord Street address and bar her from contact with the victim.
Because no plea can be entered to a felony in Circuit Court, a probable cause hearing was set for April 30.
Advised to consult lawyer
Reardon on Friday told a Circuit Court-Manchester District Division judge that a defendant wanted to plead guilty, but there has been a competency issue raised in the past.
Reardon said he recommended that Justin Robles, 23, of 467 Beech St., speak with an attorney before entering a plea to a misdemeanor charge of theft by unauthorized taking.
Robles, who is accused of taking about $25 worth of items from the Hannaford supermarket, 859 Hanover St., in September 2013, had failed to appear in court.
"I'm taking care of everything I need to take care of," Robles told Judge William Lyons. Robles said he is on personal recognizance bail on Rockingham County charges and is trying to straighten things out. "I'm having a baby in May," he said.
Reardon said Robles was originally released on a hand summons on the Hannaford theft charge, but when he failed to appear in court, an electronic bench warrant was issued with a $350 cash-only bail. Judge William Lyons set bail at $350 cash/surety, as requested by the prosecutor. Trial was set for May 8.
Criminal mischief charge
Raymond Nolan, 22, of 49B Union St., pleaded guilty Friday to a criminal mischief charge that alleges he became so angry when a neighbor confronted him about closing a hallway door that he smashed the neighbor's 2-by-2-foot window.
The plea agreement called for a six-month jail sentence, all suspended for two years of good behavior, and $200 in restitution, plus an administrative fee, paid through the Probation Department.

Nadal to make Abu Dhabi, Doha return
Rafael Nadal will end his six-month, injury-enforced absence from tennis by playing back-to-back tournaments in the Gulf before launching his assault on the Australian Open.
The 26-year-old Spaniard hasn't played since his shock second-round defeat against Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon in June.
He was then diagnosed as suffering with Hoffa syndrome, an inflammation of the fatty tissue in his left knee, a problem that has sidelined him several times over the years.
French Open champion Nadal was unable to defend his Olympic title, missed the US Open, the ATP World Tour Finals and also Spain's defeat to the Czech Republic in the Davis Cup final.
Nadal will play alongside Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in a three-day exhibition in Abu Dhabi from Dec 27-29 before taking top seeding at the Qatar Open in Doha which begins on December 31.
"Nadal is returning to competitive tennis since his knee injury at Wimbledon so everyone is looking forward to seeing what he brings," Qatar Open tournament director Karim Alami told The Peninsula newspaper.
Nadal, whose ranking has slipped to fourth in the world returned to training at his Mallorca base this week.
"Today was my first training session after so many weeks out," the Spaniard said on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
"I am making progress and I hope to continue to do so."

Dispute over medication called trigger for man's attack on motherBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
October 25. 2013 9:33PM
SALEM — An 18-year-old Salem man facing two charges of assault with a deadly weapon attacked his mother with a knife and a hammer, police said, because he believed she was withholding medication from him.
Thomas George of 103 Cluff Crossing Road was arraigned on the charges Thursday in Salem District Court.
In the aftermath of the alleged assault, police engaged in a three-hour manhunt for George that led to Derry and back to Salem. As a result of the incident, Salem High School and several schools in Derry were placed on a precautionary lockdown.
An affidavit filed in Salem District Court by Salem Detective Steve Woidyla states that George's mother, Catherine George, called police around 8 a.m. on Thursday and stated that her son had just stabbed her in the neck.
Officers who arrived on the scene found Catherine George bleeding from wounds to her neck, leg, and hand. She was transported by Salem firefighters to Lawrence (Mass.) General Hospital, and because of the severity of her injuries, she was later taken by Med-Flight to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
According to a detective who interviewed Catherine George, George stated that her son is prescribed Adderall for medical conditions. George said she believed her son was taking a higher dose than was prescribed to him, and that on Wednesday, Oct. 23, he began to become angry at his mother for withholding the medication.
The following morning, according to Woidyla's affidavit, Thomas George entered his mother's room holding a hammer in one hand and a knife in the other demanding his Adderall.
"Catherine complied and gave the medication to Thomas," Woidyla stated. "At this point, Thomas attacked her by stabbing her in the neck, leg, and hand. She stated that Thomas also hit her on the head with the hammer as she tried to defend herself."
After she was injured, George said, her son held her down and told her to bleed out.
After leaving the house, Thomas George allegedly drove to Derry, where he stole a car and drove back to Salem, leaving that vehicle in the Rockingham Park parking lot.
A police officer who was securing the scene at Cluff Crossing Road saw Thomas George return to the house on foot. The officer, who noticed that George was shirtless, barefoot, and had blood on his left foot, took George into custody.
George is currently being held on $250,000 cash bail.
Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten said detectives are continuing to investigate the incident and there could be additional charges brought against George.
George is due in court for a probable cause hearing on Oct. 31.

The Kaduna International Airport, which was a beehive of activities up till a few days ago, is gradually going back to its sleepy nature, as the bustle of the past six weeks has eventually ended.
On March 8, 2017, the Kaduna International Airport sprang to life, as unprecedented number of commercial flights landed and took off on the first day of flight diversion from Abuja. Thereafter, operations of the various airlines and business activities continued to boom following the shutdown of the Abuja International Airport for major repairs that lasted six weeks.
It was gathered that it took the federal government over two months to raise the level of facilities at the Kaduna airport in order to take over Abuja's responsibilities. Our reporter who visited the airport yesterday observed that the very busy airport is gradually going back to its former state, as both human and vehicular traffic have dropped drastically. Majority of traders who thronged the airport for business activities have left as they no longer enjoy high sales.
It was also observed that some communication networks and traders that initially came to display their goods at the airport have gone. Although passengers were yet to come as at the time of visit to the airport, it was gathered that the aircraft expected for the day was likely to land in the afternoon. The car park, which was usually filled to capacity, had just a few cars parked as at yesterday.
Also, only few restaurants and petty traders were seen operating while others have left the airport. Even at the access gate to the airport, it was gathered that officers who mount the gate to collect entrance fees have recorded a drastic reduction in amount of money they make on a daily basis from over N200,000 to less than N50,000.
According to an officer with the marshalling unit in the Operations Department, Fred Fadason, the airport has gone back to its normal schedule of operating with three domestic flights including Arik, Azman and Medview. He however noted that there is an additional domestic flight called Danaco.
"During the boom, by 10am, we might have had 10 to 15 flights landing but it is no longer so. Among the regular domestic flights, we have those who have increased their flight schedule. Like Medview, which operates only twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday), has chosen to be coming on a daily basis, but with no specific time to arrive. All activities at the airport have dropped, but the only joy is that the Abuja diversion brought about great improvement to the Kaduna airport compared to what it used to be in the past," he said.
According to Fadason, the ongoing economic predicament contributed to the situation, adding that the Kaduna airport experienced the influx of traffic because the traffic of the seat of power in the country shifted to Kaduna. "If you have an airport, which is viable, it means the industries, factories and companies around are doing well but when the economic situation of the people is poor, an average man will rather travel by road without thinking of the safety so as to save cost. The cost of maintaining the aircrafts is capital-intensive," he said.
The head of JKJ Cargo, Elvis Chunuwe, a company that takes care of unaccompanied cargo, lamented what he described as drastic reduction in volume of cargo and parcels they receive, saying government needs to put in place measures that will make the airport sustain the boom it experienced in the last six weeks. "We were very busy loading and offloading as we receive cargoes from Port-Harcourt, Owerri and Lagos but now we only receive few from Lagos," he said.
A restaurant operator, Madam Joy, said that in the six weeks of the boom of the airport, she got many hundreds of customers on a daily basis, but now she cannot boast of 15 daily. "In fact, we have had to reduce the quantity of food we cook because the customers are not there. In fact, we have reduced the price of food from N500 to N300 so as to encourage the few people coming around to patronise us," she said.
Similarly, a petty trader who sells water and local drinks, Mama Bola said that though the Abuja diversion brought joy to them as she made a lot of sales; adding that the resumption of Abuja airport has reduced her joy as she hardly sell ten sachets of water in a day. Sellers of caps and shoes inside the airport also lamented poor sales due to reduced activities and human traffic at the airport.
Workers at one of the eateries in the airport said their business experienced a serious boom in the last six weeks but lamented low patronage as the Abuja airport resume operation. "Before now, we see hundreds of customers on a daily basis but now we hardly see three people come to buy something. It is highly discouraging. Although the airport authority has asked us to be patient, saying measures are put in place to improve the situation. So, we are waiting before we know the next step to take," one of the workers said.
Meanwhile, The Manager of Kaduna International Airport, Mrs. Amina Ozi-Salami, recently disclosed that the airport witnessed the movement of 3,433 aircrafts with 170,150 passengers in 35 days. According to her, the average movement of aircrafts daily during the period stands at 101 while movement of passengers daily was 4,861. She also mentioned that aircrafts including Arik, Azman, Dana air, Aero, Air peace, Overland, First nation and Medview among others operated domestic airlines.
The train service from Abuja to Kaduna, she also said, conveyed 18,794 passengers from March 8 to 29, 2017 in 21 round trips, adding that The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) operated three Daily Return Schedule Service from Idu (Abuja) to Kaduna except Saturdays and Sundays. "With this development, Kaduna International Airport will never go back to its former status again because some foreign airlines have indicated their intention to continue flying from Kaduna to their destinations so as to make passengers from the North-West, North-East and North-Central have closer departure point," she said.
While Daily Trust gathered that the foreign airlines are yet to begin to fly to or from or to Kaduna since the reopening of the Abuja airport, many expressed optimism that the airport can still boom again if government will make the necessary moves.

PE: Millennium Takeda's singular focus on oncology avoids the frequent strategic R&D repositioning that characterizes the more diversified big Pharma players. But there are risks, too, in depending on what is now seen as a crowded, highly competitive sector, where the science is challenging and pricing pressures are intense. How does Millennium maintain its therapeutic advantage in this environment? Is the overriding commitment to oncology products a hard fact for investors going forward?
Protopapas: Contributing to the fight against cancer has always been Millennium's mark of distinction. This was reaffirmed and accentuated by our merger with Takeda in 2008, where we now serve as the company's global "center of excellence" in oncology research, product development and commercialization. This commitment remains firm. In fact, we do not believe that oncology products bind us too narrowly in serving patients. Cancer is a complex condition; it affects patients in different ways. It is now accepted that cancer is a highly heterogeneous collection of diseases. Understanding these at the genetic and molecular level helps us discover new medicines.PE: Oncology is not only at the frontier of science, it is the focal point for change in the practice of medicine as well as in the way new therapies are promoted to the provider and payer communities. The business model for oncology specialists is under significant financial pressure, while proactive patient education has become essential to a successful launch strategy. What is Millennium Takeda doing to address these structural transformations in the marketplace?
Protopapas: Our response to transition in the marketplace is very simple. It is to generate the right data and evidence to support our products' value proposition to clinicians, payers and patients. The starting point is the clinical trial, which we design and position not as an end in itself but as part of a research continuum that will extend well into the Phase IV post-marketing work that oncology stakeholders are coming to regard as even more important than the data submitted to secure initial FDA authorization. In fact, the differentiating factor in success is how well this evidence relates to the real-world clinical setting after registration. We build a strong data trail designed to support additional indications, to guide physicians in deciding among choice of therapy, to demonstrate compliance with relevant treatment protocols, to establish cost-effectiveness against the current standard of care, and to set proper expectations for the patient in terms of outcomes. Our data is increasingly targeted to this latter objective, because, as more cancer therapies are introduced, the patient experience is now the dominant thread driving treatment eligibility decisions.
Another example is the truly compelling evidence compiled on Adcetris, the treatment recently approved for patients with relapsed-refactory Hodgkin lymphoma. This cancer strikes young adults disproportionately and the drug is indicated for those who have exhausted other drug options – so the stakes for the eligible patient are very high. Trial data we presented with our partner, Seattle Genetics, at the December 2013 American Society of Hematology conference, yielded a median survival curve of 40.5 months – more than three years – for trial patients, most of whom, based on historical controls, typically would not be expected to do very well.
In our view, the strength of this data leads immediately to a conversation about value – no convincing is needed. We want products that advance the discussion beyond incremental benefit; our ultimate aim is to produce a cure. I think that attitude filters back to positively influence our relationship with providers and – obviously – patients.

I saw the Dream Hammock product line last night (I wish I found this guy 4 weeks ago). Would ya'll consider these hammocks longer and wider than average? Specifically the DangerBird 72? His 'Crinkle 90' looks huge. I ask because this is another "I'm 6'4" 215lb and I'm looking for a hammock that fits me" thread.
Is anyone here who owns a DangerBird 72 taller than 6'4"? Are you getting a flatter lay compared to other hammocks you have tried in the past?
Why doesn't this guy have his own manufacturer forum? Is he too new?
Thanks in advance.

Car Review
2012 Honda Civic: New Car Review
Pros: Plentiful model variations; good fuel economy
Cons: Drab interior; uninspired driving experience
The Honda Civic made its original U.S. debut in the 1973 model year, and with its power front disc brakes, the Civic was immediately ahead of the curve of other subcompact cars of the era. Over the years, the Civic's popularity has grown until it has become one of the most solid citizens on the small-car market. For 2012, customers have more variations of the Civic to choose from than ever before: Civic, Civic Natural Gas, Civic Hybrid, Civic Si and the high-efficiency Civic HF.
Comfort & Utility
The best way to describe the Civic is interior to say that it's "regular." We mean that in the best possible way. All too often, automakers get caught up in overwhelming interiors packed with advanced technology, carbon fiber trim and excessive numbers of buttons. Many modern automotive interiors can make drivers feel claustrophobic. The Civic interior is anything but.
Well, perhaps it's overly gray, but the Civic's interior is simple, sturdy, no-frills and serves its purpose. All the bits are robust and well built, with no extraneous items to worry about ruining or breaking; in short, the kind of interior found in vehicles of yesteryear. The interior is one that, if left in the care of a rambunctious labradoodle, would come through virtually unscathed.
The Civic isn't a big car, but delightfully the interior isn't small. Even tall drivers will find it roomy and comfortable in every direction, which is truly rare in small, fuel-efficient vehicles of any kind.
The latest generation of the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System is available on Civic EX, Civic EX-L, Civic Si, Civic Natural Gas and Civic Hybrid models and features a 6.5-inch display and a fast 16-GB flash memory in place of the DVD-based system used on previous Civics. Turn-by-turn driving directions appear on both the navigation screen and on the new color i-MID display, which is positioned high in the instrument panel close to the driver's line of sight.
The Bluetooth HandsFreeLink interface is designed to offer hands-free operation for many Bluetooth-enabled mobile telephones. Standard on Civic EX, Civic EX-L, Civic Si, Civic Natural Gas and Civic Hybrid, the system wirelessly connects the driver's cell phone to the vehicle's audio system. This allows the driver to make or answer cell phone calls without removing hands from the steering wheel.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Honda's 2012 Civic comes with a choice of gasoline, hybrid and compressed natural gas powertrains. At the top end in the Si Coupe and Sedan is the 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4 that makes 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, mated to a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission.
The Civic Hybrid has an ultra-efficient 1.5-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) that makes 110 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque, along with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), resulting in 44 mpg in both city and highway driving.
The standard Civic sedan, coupe and HF models are powered by a 140-hp 1.8-liter i-VTEC 4 engine that makes 128 lb-ft of torque. Civic Sedan and Coupe models offer a choice of a standard five-speed manual transmission or an available five-speed automatic transmission. The Civic HF comes with a standard automatic transmission. The Sedan and Coupe achieve 28/31 mpg with the five-speed manual and 28/32 mpg with the five-speed automatic transmission. The HF, true to its High Efficiency moniker, gets 29/41 mpg.
The Civic Natural Gas, powered, as its name suggests, by compressed natural gas (CNG), gets a variant of the standard 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 110 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque and comes with a standard five-speed automatic transmission. It's good for 27/38 mpg.
The 2012 Civic exemplifies Honda's dedication to safety. The Civic incorporates the newest generation of Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), ABS with Brake Assist, side curtain airbags, front side airbags with a passenger's side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) and a front seat design that can help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision.
Similar to the previous generation of Civic, an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure in the front of the vehicle helps make the vehicle absorb and disburse energy in case of a front-end crash.
Additional standard safety features include dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front seatbelts with automatic tensioning system and load limiter and front-end pedestrian injury mitigation.
Driving Impressions
The simplicity of the Civic is palpable, and it has a wonderfully effortless driving feel. There are no satellite navigation systems, flashy screens or hands-free Bluetooth setups to distract.
Braking is forgiving but firm. The steering is light but exact. The climate control is laid out in a highly intuitive fashion. The drivetrain barely makes noise. And, although it's a very fuel-frugal vehicle, it's got power to get up and go if you need it. Viewed with a positive attitude, this is a Zen-like driving experience.
Other Cars to Consider
Subaru Impreza - Starting at $17,495, the base Impreza costs a couple thousand more than the $15,755 for the base Civic Coupe, but for that extra cash investment, customers get all-wheel drive and a significantly nicer interior complete with soft-touch dash.
Hyundai Elantra - Starting at $15,345, the Elantra is cheaper than the Civic, too, which is good. What's even better, the Elantra just won the 2012 North American Car of the Year award. What's best, for the money, the Elantra includes a 100,000-mile warranty.
Volkswagen Jetta - Starting at $15,515, the Jetta is shockingly cheap. For this newest generation, VW has pared the Jetta down to its bare bones to attract entry-level shoppers. For folks wanting to join the German motoring world without breaking the bank, the Jetta is a great place to start.
AutoTrader Recommends
We recommend buyers look past the base model to the HF, which starts at $19,605. The HF looks sleeker than the standard Civic because it shares its body panels with the Civic Hybrid. It also offers 41 mpg on the highway without adding thousand of pounds of hybrid components and batteries, proving that simple is indeed best.

Cape Canaveral: NASA fueled space shuttle Atlantis on Wednesday, but it was only a test leading up to the last flight of the 30-year program.
Liftoff isn`t until July 8. Shuttle managers want to make sure that repairs to the external fuel tank are good and that no cracks pop up in any of the support brackets.
Preliminary checks indicated no cracking. But a valve for one of the three main engines recorded lower-than-normal temperatures during the tanking operation, indicating a possible hydrogen fuel leak. The engine was isolated, and the test continued.
NASA officials said even if the valve needs replaced, they believe they can make a July 8 launch.
The original cracking problem, meanwhile, kept shuttle Discovery grounded late last year. The same kind of patches — applied to the aluminum struts in the center portion of the tank — were used for Atlantis.
The struts, or brackets, are located in an area where there is no fuel, only instruments. The brackets were made from an aluminum alloy that was more brittle and that, combined with assembly issues, led to the cracking on Discovery`s tank. Technicians will X-ray the brackets on Atlantis` tank beginning this weekend.
Wednesday`s fueling operation was delayed several hours by thunderstorms that pounded Cape Canaveral on Tuesday. Three lightning strikes were reported near the pad. Preliminary checks show nothing was damaged, although a power circuit went offline.
A countdown rehearsal for the final flight will be conducted next week with the four Atlantis astronauts.
NASA is still analyzing a pair of issues from Endeavour`s recently completed flight.
A glob of grease apparently caught fire around the left main landing gear when Endeavour landed June 1, but left no traces. The brief flash fire was caught on video, NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said. Neither the crew nor shuttle was in any danger.
And the loss of foam insulation from Endeavour`s tank during liftoff on May 16 appears to be age related, Beutel said. At 10 years, it was the oldest tank ever flown.
Atlantis will be packed with supplies for the International Space Station, so that the orbiting outpost is well stocked until a private cargo carrier arrives. NASA officials expect the first supply run by a U.S. company could take place by year`s end.
This will be the 135th and final mission of the shuttle program. NASA is under presidential direction to shift from orbital flights to expeditions beyond.

Abortion clinic buffer put on hold after court ruling
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader

Abortion buffer zone suspended throughout NH
— A federal judge on Wednesday put a temporary halt to the state law that establishes a buffer zone around abortion clinics, issuing an order on the eve the law was to go on the books.
In a seven-page order issued late Wednesday, District Court Judge Joseph Laplante told the communities of Concord and Derry they could not enforce the provisions of the buffer zone law against clinics within their boundaries.
Laplante noted that other communities, including Manchester and Keene, as well as county prosecutors and Attorney General Joseph Foster have agreed to not enforce the law until the judge holds a hearing in his courtroom on July 25.
Michael Tierney, a lawyer for some of the marchers outside the clinic - whom Tierney refers to as "sidewalk counselors" -- said he sought a restraining order after state officials and Planned Parenthood spokesmen said they were studying the newly passed state law in light of the June 26 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which struck down a similar buffer-zone law in Massachusetts.
Officials in Burlington, Vt., Portland, Maine, and Madison, Wisc., stopped enforcing buffer zones after the ruling, Tierney said.
"I was perhaps naively thinking New Hampshire would follow suit," he said.
A spokesman for Planned Parenthood, which operates clinics in several New Hampshire locations, was not available for comment late Wedensday. Earlier this week, Planned Parenthood said it was evaluating the McCullen v Coakley decision and had no present intentions of posting a buffer zone at its New Hampshire clinics.
The state law requires clinic owners to clear some administrative hurdles with city or town officials before the zone goes into effect.
On Monday, Tierney and lawyers for Alliance Defending Freedom and the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University requested a restraining order against Foster, five county attorneys and municipal government where clinics are located.
The law calls for a $100 minimum fine for anyone who violates a buffer zone after being given a warning by police.
In his ruling, Laplante noted that Foster and the prosecutors in Hillsborough, Merrimack, Rockingham, Cheshire and Strafford counties agreed they would not enforce the law before notifying him and Tierney's clients. Manchester, Greenland and Keene also agreed to hold off.
But lawyers representing the communities of Concord and Derry would not agree to do so. The order applies to them specifically, but all parties will have a chance to argue their case on July 25.
Laplante said Right to Life has a strong argument.
"As the plaintiffs note, the key factor in the temporary restraining order calculus is a likelihood that they will succeed on the merits of their claims," Laplante wrote. "The plaintiffs persuasively argue that (the state law) is materially indistinguishable from the Massachusetts statute that the Supreme Court invalidated."
Tierney said he expects people will be in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic Thursday. He said they are not picketers.
"There are going to be providing information about alternatives to abortion in a loving, compassionate manner," he said.

It is estimated that in the United States, up to 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from one of the three most common types of eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder). The term "eating disorder" refers to a variety of psychiatric illnesses common in our society today. Each disorder involves unrealistic, distorted thinking about appearance, body weight, and food.

Mwittmeyer needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 290 designs submitted by 97 freelance designers.
I am going to launch BusinessCards.org in the next few weeks. The site will sell custom business cards as well as business cards from templates. The site will also have a blog, a regional business card directory, and a business card gallery.
Targeting the English-speaking market right now - primarily the USA and Canada, although the region shouldn't affect the logo at the moment.
I want the logo to be fairly clean and emphasize the "BusinessCards.org" text. The ".org" should be fairly evident, as I don't want people to mistake my site for "BusinessCards.com".
Along with the text, I would like a small graphic related to the business card theme (this is where you guys can get creative).
I'm not too picky on colors at the moment, but I'd prefer lighter blue/green, grey, white, or black (although I won't exclude a logo just because it is a different color).
I'd prefer the graphic to be more horizontal than square, as it will be used at the top of a website.

Only 8% Of Journalist Coverage Of Healthcare Debate Is Actually About The Healthcare System
from the and-they-want-us-to-pay-for-this? dept
The Project for Excellence in Journalism, for example, found that so far this year 55 percent of coverage of health care has been about the political battles, 16 percent about the protests, and only 8 percent about substantive issues like how the system works now, what will happen if it remains unchanged, and what proposed changes will mean for ordinary people.In other words, the press is spending more time on the fighting, rather than on the substance. It's filler and fluff -- that often misleads and distracts from the actual discussion. And we're supposed to value that? There's a tremendous need for thoughtful discussions about healthcare, and it's a spot where professional journalists could be a huge help. But, it's a lot easier to just focus on the play-by-play commentary, rather than actually adding value.

As you've probably heard, Sarah Palin . "Squirmish" for "skirmish."
When the ex-governor of Alaska came up with "refudiate" I was disappointed. We should have got there first, I thought. Now, though, balance has been restored. "Squirmish" for "skirmish" was mentioned in . This time, no need to drag from the back of the clubhouse fridge.

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
I've got that one documented (though not reported here) since '98 (April 9, in fact—and the current date is totally irrelevant here.) My good friend Betty Casad (who will not mind being quoted) said "there are more squirmishes ahead".
(added later) I note now that this post is dated yesterday, but I wrote it today, unless I was fooled somehow.

That would be dangerous! I'd be so tempted to include many of the best.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,

btw, I have squirmishes as likely being a blend of skirmishes and squalls. Both are relatively small disturbances.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,

I see that "screamish" for "squeamish" has been done. I thought I had a live one for just a moment. It is one of the best I've dreamt up though, even if someone beat me to it.

Once again, thank you all ladies for sharing your experiences and opinions. It looks like my main misconception was that in order to wrap up pumping soon after LO's first birthday I have to gradually pump less and less. But from what you are telling me it seems that I would be able to stop pumping pretty quickly once she is one, so for now I'll go down to 3 nursing sessions at work (since 4 are just driving me nuts) and see how it goes.
Thank you all again!

HI all:
As I am beginning to work on a map, I was wondering if there is a guide for GIMP out there for me to use. I'm only in the drawing stages of the map, so nothing detailed needed yet. But, I was just throwing this idea out there since there may be other GIMP users as well looking for a guide to making neat maps.
COnversely, is GIMP similar enough to Photoshop that I could use the Guide to Photoshop shown here?

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) ? Rick Porcello reinforced his bid to claim the second spot in the Detroit rotation with another solid outing Monday.
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Rick Porcello reinforced his bid to claim the second spot in the Detroit rotation with another solid outing Monday.
Just try telling him that, though.
"I need to do a better job getting ahead of hitters," Porcello said after allowing one earned run in an exhibition-high seven innings during a 3-all tie with the Miami Marlins. "I'm still trying to keep the ball down and I only have one more start this spring."
Marlins starter Mark Buehrle did fine for six innings and the game was stopped after the 10th. It was Detroit's fifth tie this spring.
Porcello allowed one earned run and five hits. He walked one and struck out four. He is the likely No. 2 starter for the Tigers behind AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander.
Porcello has been putting up the numbers this spring to show that he deserves that slot. He has a spring ERA of 1.59 in five starts and has walked only four batters.
"He's grown up out there," Leyland said. "He's learned to deal with the good, the bad and the ugly. It's not easy, but he's always handled it well."
After winning 14 games as a rookie in 2009, he struggled in 2010 and spent time at Triple-A Toledo. He came back strong and solidified his place in the rotation last year, going 14-9 in 31 starts.
"I feel mentally and physically ready right now for opening day," Porcello said. "It won't hurt to learn as much as I can before opening day, but I am ready to go now."
Buehrle also looked ready to go. He was 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA for the Chicago White Sox last season, then signed with the Marlins as a free agent.
Buehrle has struggled to a 7.30 ERA this spring, but didn't walk anyone in six innings against the Tigers while striking out five. He allowed homers to Jhonny Peralta and Brennan Boesch.
"I really made one bad pitch and it was hit out of the park," Buehrle said. "I was hitting my spots and feel good. I felt good in my last inning and I could have gone another."
Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, who had Buehrle for several years with the White Sox, liked what he saw.
"I was surprised by him today," Guillen said. "He always has an ugly spring." That shows that Buehrle is going to be Buehrle."
Peralta went 3 for 3. Jose Reyes doubled for the Marlins.
NOTES: The Tigers optioned RHP Jacob Turner to Triple-A Toledo and reassigned RHP Chris Bootcheck, INFs Audy Ciriaco, Argenis Diaz and Ryan Strieby and OF Quintin Berry to minor league camp. ... Detroit RHP Doug Fister is expected to make his next scheduled start on Wednesday. He left his last start on Friday with soreness in his right middle finger. ... Tigers OF Delmon Young was pulled from the game with a slight knee injury. Leyland said it wasn't a problem. ... Marlins RHP Ricky Nolasco will start on Tuesday against Washington LHP Gio Gonzalez. ... Miami LHP Randy Choate threw 19 pitches in his exhibition debut after being sidelined with a right lateral injury. He pitched one inning and allowed one hit. He will pitch again on Wednesday. ... Nolasco will pitch Sunday in the first game between big league teams at the new Marlins ballpark and Carlos Zambrano will follow on Monday. Both games are exhibition against the New York Yankees.
