Comments22/07/2016 #18 Leckey Harrison#17 I would say that's a freeze that occurs, of the fight/flight/freeze continuum. The overwhe,m is so much that in severe cases, the body shuts off: "plays possum" as it were. There is also the understanding that in quickly escalating events, there is a default pathway in the brain and that pathway means PFC and associated regions shut down, the speech center being one. In a chronic stress condition which traumatizes, the disconnect happens over time, and the neural networks between limbic and PFC regions atrophy, so the silence is an inward turning of looking for safety at all times, not exposing oneself via noise. This can also create the split of the personality that then begins to talk to themselves in psychotic and dissociated manners..22/07/2016 #17 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD#15 I was just having a discussion with @Selim Yeniçeri about how some children witness a traumatizing event and try to scream, but nothing comes out. It is well known that some of these children can become mute for a time. And thinking that what you offer can be applied in this scenario. Please advise....it is so interesting to think of applying it to this patient population of our children. Just can't wait to see what you think! And thank you for being here....you're a wonderful help! We are blessed to have you, @Leckey Harrison!15/07/2016 #16 Leckey Harrison#14 Regardless of the type of stress, our body has the tremoring mechanism as the release valve.15/07/2016 #15 Leckey Harrison#14 Yes, there are different classifications of stress as it were, but the same nervous system. Intensity, and duration play roles as well. Stress of low to medium intensity ocver a long period will traumatize an organism as much as a single overwhelming event. Singlar events that create helplessness and terror rapidly often create freeze, and thosememories then got lost, though they are still in the body and brain.15/07/2016 #14 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD#13 You make so many great points with this article...and the follow-up comments may be tongue-in-cheek as for me hiding my own pains, and thank you. You are always so positive and reassuring, quite a breath of fresh air. So I think I'm hearing that there are two main categories of stress... one being more the daily 'stresses' of making a living and turning on the lights...and the other being the more catastrophic, traumatic stress. It is so interesting, as they both overlap at different times and places. For example, when @Randy Keho told of his daughter's being held up at gunpoint to the head, it took me literally a full week to remember and realize that I had been through the same thing. I'm still intrigued that I could forget that trauma. And even now, talking and thinking about it doesn't really bother me. I never thought I'd 'get' to this place. I'm just grateful. And I'm sure that you specialize in making this so for others, on a more accelerated pace (my incident was in 1991) and professional basis. I'm glad people have you.12/07/2016 #13 Leckey Harrison#11 Stress can be accumulative, and then turn into PTSD. It's the distinction I make with the terms "traumatic stress," meaning, chronic stress eventually creates a traumatized organism. Stress directly related to trauma will do the same, and both together are crippling. I have such clients.12/07/2016 #12 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD#11 That would also put me at 90%, but I still turned out ok, ya?12/07/2016 #11 Brian McKenzieif it is an accumulative event - then I have an 80% stat for a bar graph. For what ever Big Data that is worth.12/07/2016 #10 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD#8 Well, we do have our mission, indeed. And we shall pursue the human galaxies that no man dares to go. ;-). We're just used it it.12/07/2016 #9 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD#4 @Brian McKenzie: I'd love to know more about the Venn Diagram. Reading about it myself would be one thing, but getting it from your standpoint is much more significant to me. Pray tell more.20/06/2016 #8 Leckey Harrison#1 I am accustomed to that on SM, Margaret. It's not a "comfortable" topic.20/06/2016 #7 Leckey Harrison#4 Excellent idea! The big one would be abused children which would encompass to some degree the rest of them. The signifant percentages would be worth knowing.20/06/2016 #6 Leckey Harrison#5 You're welcome, Lisa. This is my life work, teaching folks how to heal their trauma.20/06/2016 #5 Lisa 🐝 GallagherExtremely important and relevant topic! Thank you for sharing this @Lecky Harrison20/06/2016 #4 Brian McKenzieA Venn Diagram might be enlightening too. I know that many of my military crew that I served with were law enforcement and fire depts.20/06/2016 #3 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhDI would like someone to kindly buzz this over to my Hive ~ "Invisible Illnesses: Mental Health." I've maxed out on the buzzing. But I'm not giving up.20/06/2016 #2 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD"All it takes for evil to reign in the world is for one good man to say nothing." ~ Albert Einstein20/06/2016 #1 Margaret Aranda, MD, PhDBombshell: the highest incidence is in the most innocent of all, our children. I'm so sorry. I can't express how hard this hits me, and my initial reaction is to be infuriated that out of 100 views, no one commented before me. WE are all about SOLUTIONS, and I'm glad that someone can give a voice to the voiceless.

Conceptual opera: how far is too far?
For the Herald
You can be innovate as long as you remain faithful to the original libretto
Readers of the Herald know that I disagree with the by-now lengthy trend of conceptual operatic production, a plague that started about 30 years ago and has contaminated opera houses all over the world. I am deeply convinced that it is ruining the art of opera and provoking in many people a mass exodus from live opera. However, there's a substantial number of opera lovers (generally under 50) that support this development and consider that it has renovated what they think would otherwise be a dying art.
From its inception, opera has found its essence in telling a story through the combined resources of instruments and voices, plus proper scenery, costuming and lighting. By "proper," I mean "adequate to the times that are evoked". And even in the remote times of the late 17th century/early Baroque Camerata Fiorentina, the aim was to obtain as inclusive a work of art as possible. Greek mythology, not Late Italian Renaissance, was what inspired those pioneers, as vouch-safed by such early creators as Jacopo Peri (Euridice, 1600) and Claudio Monteverdi, author of the first truly successful opera: La favola d'Orfeo (1607). However, of course they weren't classic Greeks and their views of Arcadic Greece were those of the Florentine and Mantuan intelligentsia.
As Baroque opera matured, favourite subjects of opera seria were those of historical Rome and Persia along with mythological Greece, while current history was neglected to avoid censure. But the 18th-century opera buffa — both in the Baroque and in the Classical period — came close to the people first with short intermezzi (Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona), later with full-evening comedies (Paisiello's very successful Il Barbiere di Siviglia from 1782 antecedes Rossini by several decades): opera catered both to popular and aristocratic tastes and audiences.
And so it continued to be as the language of music evolved and became ever more complicated during the 19th century: Wagner gave us Mediaeval life with The Mastersingers or a huge tetralogy of mythical German times (the Ring) while bringing chromaticism to the very limits (Tristan and Isolde); meanwhile Verdi brought to us Babylonia or Egypt but was censored when he wrote about a relatively recent assassination in Un Ballo in Maschera. There was another more revealing case of censorship: La Traviata was a true revolution, since it was about a courtesan of Verdi's time; at the première, the librettist had to transport the story to the early 18th century and only later was he allowed to offer it as inspired by Alexandre Dumas, fils' The Lady of the Camellias.
Late Romantics as Puccini gave us wildly different locales and periods: Paris in the 1840s (La Boheme), early 1900s Japan (Madama Butterfly), the Pope's Secret Police in Napoleonic times (Tosca). And so did Richard Strauss (Greek Elektra, 18th century Vienna in Der Rosenkavalier). But Berg's Wozzeck (1925) was stark contemporary drama (Büchner's amazing original, from 1836, was fully relevant in Berg's time) with 12-tone music, and from then on, although there were skilled practitioners of older styles as Menotti, things changed forever.
You may think that I'm giving you a potted history of opera, but I needed this to give valid examples. In the aftermath of WWII, one singer-actress changed the stand-up-and-sing school: Maria Callas. But she didn't do it alone: Luchino Visconti and Franco Zeffirelli were those that were essential in the enormous change which I fully back: Visconti in La Traviata and Zeffirelli in Tosca proved with Callas that opera was as important as drama, not just as a vehicle for singers. Visconti's Traviata showed the right way: an absolutely precise evocation of Paris in the 1840s down to the minute detail, and within it an immensely moving love story: he gave us the mores of the times, and she offered the most heartbreaking interpretation within the purest singing. And so did Zeffirelli's uncannily true Tosca: Toscas usually come on stage majestically, but not Callas; she was what Puccini wanted, an anguished jealous woman trying to find her supposed rival.
On the other extreme, Wieland Wagner revolutionized the staging of his grandfather's operas by abstract symbolic designs and perfect lighting. But Wieland died and his brother Wolfgang innovated in the wrong way: Patrice Chéreau's Ring was the starting point of the current trend, with Wotan in smoking and Siegfried's anvil a modern factory. "Concept" staging was born...and we never recovered.
The culprit is today's ahistorical generation; they believe only the present matters and don't realize a glaring truth: the present is this very instant and all the rest is the past — unless we understand this, we don't have a future. The fascinating thing about opera is that we are submerged into different cultures: Pharaonic Egypt (Aida), Napoleonic-era Rome (Tosca), Renaissance Mantua (Rigoletto), mediaeval Flanders (Lohengrin) and an enormous etcetera.
Why are young people impressed by meticulous evocations of mediaeval times on TV such as Game of Thrones or Tolkien's world but reject the same principle applied to opera? It makes no sense, but producers and opera directors, unfortunately promoted by many colleagues of mine and audiences that want to seem progressive, do enormous cultural crimes. Cleopatra as Evita, Rigoletto in Las Vegas, our last dictatorship in the Ring, the Madonna in full frontal nakedness (Bieito's version of Pepita Jiménez)...there's no end to monstrous distortion. This is not opera.
Producers aren't authors: they are interpreters of the libretto, as conductors are of the music. Now if a production accords with the libretto, it is panned by critics and some audiences. This is a troubling society: you can be innovative but faithful, and this is the essential point.

Public procurement and sticking to single market rules
The Continent's common market has been the cornerstone of European integration for the past half century. If it hadn't been created, or if Ireland hadn't become a part of it, there is reason to believe that we would still be the poorest country in western Europe - as we were for most of the period from independence to the 1990s.
Removing barriers to cross-border economic activity has taken place on the foundation of the 'four freedoms' - the free movement of capital, labour, goods and services. Implementation from Strasbourg and Brussels has happened gradually, and grindingly, over decades.
Even after tariffs and quotas were formally abolished in 1968, plenty of barriers to cross-border trade remained. The costs of operating in different countries stayed high. Each member state had a different set of laws, national standards and regulations. Either by accident or design, governments continued to put in place barriers which impeded trade and, more often than not, tended to favour domestic firms.

The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and saie, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Wll, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit."
Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.
"So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table. The doctor will be to see you in a moment."
"This won't take long, Andrew," said the doctor.
Ender nodded.

The Government of Alberta is taking steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of Campus Alberta and giving students more resources to help them learn and succeed.
Budget 2015 will start the process of moving our current post-secondary system to a more highly performing, financially sustainable and accessible model.
Over the next two years, institutions will receive transitional funding from the Access to the Future Fund to help transform the system, while working with phased-in reductions to their base operating grants.
Significant enhancements have been made to Alberta's Student Aid Program. This includes increasing loan limits and living allowances, doubling funds for the Alberta Low Income grant; and expanding assistance for Aboriginal students and apprentices.
Students, institutions and all of our partners have a role to play in this transformation. Over the coming months, we will be asking all of our partners for their input to help develop a new five-year plan for Campus Alberta.

Now Get Ready for an Epic Budget Fight in Washington!

|+25.86 to 2,020.85
|+41.30 to 4,676.54

|+$1.57 to $49.81
Epic. An amazing fight from start to finish, with more momentum swings, can't-miss plays, and unbelievable heroics and blunders than I can remember in years!
That's how I'd describe Sunday's Super Bowl. I know my heart skipped more than a few beats, even as the end result — a 28-24 Patriots victory — was exactly what I hoped for thanks to a crazy goal-line interception!
No celebratory duck boat parade for the advertisers, though, as I wasn't impressed with the quality of the commercials. But I think Katy Perry nailed the halftime show, so kudos to the people who put that one together.
But while the NFL's knock down, drag out, Super Bowl fight is over, the budget battle in Washington is just getting underway! President Obama submitted his $4 trillion budget proposal today, one that highlights his focus on "middle class economics." It's packed chock full of ambitious ideas and goodies for his political base, including …
|Obama wants to spend $3.99 trillion. But he's projecting only $3.53 trillion in tax revenue, meaning another deficit.
A massive proposal to spend $478 billion upgrading the nation's infrastructure — including roads, railroads, and ports …
A new 14 percent tax on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of money that corporations have stockpiled overseas …
The abandonment of the "sequestration" budget cuts adopted as a result of the 2011 debt ceiling debacle …
A cut in the corporate income tax to 28 percent from 35 percent, as well as a 6 percent increase in R&S spending …
A 1.3 percent raise for federal employees, up from last year's 1 percent rise …
A larger child tax credit – $3,000 per kid — and a $500 tax credit for "second earners" that would apply to working families …
And a free two-year ride at community colleges for students who qualify. The program would cost $60 billion over the next decade.
All told, Obama wants to spend $3.99 trillion — and he's projecting only $3.53 trillion in tax revenue. So we're talking about yet another deficit — $474 billion — if Congress were to just rubberstamp his budget.
Now obviously that won't happen. Congressional Republicans are much less willing to jettison budget discipline, and much more averse to Obama's redistributionist policies. They may be willing to work with the President on infrastructure spending, but only if he gives more ground on corporate taxes.
|"We will have to watch closely to see which proposals survive the political gauntlet."
So now and in the weeks and months ahead, the focus will clearly shift from the gridiron to the marbled hallways in Washington. We will have to watch closely to see which proposals survive the political gauntlet, and to figure out what impact they'll have on the bottom lines of the companies we invest in.
What thoughts do you have at this early stage? Could heavy equipment makers and companies that produce the raw materials used in bridge and road construction make a killing from Obama's infrastructure plans?
What about biotechnology or tech firms — will they benefit from greater R&D investment? And how about boosting federal wages at a somewhat quicker pace — will that encourage private companies to start sharing the wealth with regular wage earners?
Make sure you throw your hat in the ring over at the website. You should have some free time considering football season is over, and Spring Training isn't quite underway!
|Our Readers Speak
What a crazy, topsy turvy, volatile experience, huh? And I'm not even talking about the Super Bowl! I'm talking about the markets on Friday … and the past several days, for that matter. So where are we going next?
Let's start with oil, which surged late Friday by more than 8 percent! That was the single-biggest, one-day rise since mid-2012.
Reader E.T.O'L. talked about some of the geopolitical forces that come into play with black gold, and sounded a warning about future stability. His comments:
"It's easy to dismiss OPEC with four letter words, but that conceals some geopolitical realignments that are profound and cut in a number of directions. It used to be that armies would move if oil supplies to the West were interrupted.
"What if these Mid-East nations found themselves so stressed in a sort of mirror image of what the situation was 50 years ago? I'm concerned about the political stability of a volatile part of the world. I think that we should take NOTHING for granted. The risks are enormous."
As for what investors can do about it, Reader John said he's looking for guidance. His questions: "What are your recommendations on playing the market for oil stocks? When can we expect a recommendation on what strategy you plan to employ to take advantage of low oil prices? Do you expect oil prices to remain at current levels or when might we see a change?"
I appreciate the questions, and the feedback. Frankly, I believe this could be the best buying opportunity in the energy sector in at least three decades, if not more! The current environment looks a lot like the environment in 1985-1986, when the Saudis crashed oil prices to fight off competition from other producers.
But after oil prices and oil stocks plunged, production dropped sharply, and weaker companies fell by the wayside, prices bottomed out. The surviving firms took off like rockets, with many doubling or tripling in price.
If you're looking for specific investment ideas, you might want to check out my Safe Money Report newsletter. I'm starting to see some nice bottoming action in my favorite names there.
Meanwhile, Reader Steven weighed in on interest rates and how lower rates could help support growth in a key sector. His view: "One item those of us in the real estate biz keep an eye on is the 10-year note, which has been declining since Christmas and now is this side of 1 5/8.
"Interest rates on mortgages are tied to this, so I would look for an uptick in sales during the coming selling season as more will be able to qualify, even under the present criteria. Speaking of which, the new rules are working out rather well in preventing the excesses that caused the last meltdown."
But Reader Matt was less sanguine on where the markets and economy are headed. His take:
"The markets have been good to everyone who has been in them since '08 — '09. But I just can't help but think that the winners in the future will be the ones who hold on to the most of what they've got now. Caution and preserve capital … that's my motto now."
Thanks guys. Low rates are definitely making it easier to afford a mortgage … but it's still a real pain to get a loan these days relative to a few years ago. So that's why the housing industry isn't doing as well as you might expect if all you knew was the average rate on a 30-year fixed.
As for stocks, we're seeing the weakness that used to be confined to energy spread out into other sectors. Financials are one troubled group of stocks I'd highlight. Of course, we also can't get the Russell 2000 to break out to a new high. It's still trading around a level it first reached more than a year ago.
So what do you think about oil, rates, stocks, or anything else being discussed here? Let me know over at the website.
|Other Developments of the Day
Looks like the holiday season wasn't exactly what retailers were hoping for! Consumer spending dropped 0.3 percent in December, worse than the 0.2 percent decline that economists were expecting and the biggest drop since September 2009. One bright spot: Incomes rose 0.3 percent for the second month in a row.
You have to love big, bold market calls, right? That's what former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister issued on oil. He thinks we'll go from the mid-to-high-$40s now to $80 … by the fall! He notes that idling rigs, abandoning wells, and other steps will quickly erode the oil surplus that caused prices to fall in the first place.
Speaking of oil, the United Steelworkers Union launched a strike that impacted several U.S. refineries over the weekend. The USW wants bigger pay increases and improved health insurance. We haven't seen a strike of this magnitude in the oil industry since 1980.
Chicago just got socked with a top-10-of-all-time snowstorm. The Northeast is getting walloped again with snow. And worst of all? Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means we're in store for six more weeks of winter.
Better bundle up, grab a DVD of the classic Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day, and watch! While you're at it, why don't you also take a few moments to head over to the website and share your thoughts about these stories and more!
Until next time,

With must-have beauty brands and products often selling out in seconds, the temptation to turn to cheaper alternatives online can be strong. Bronwyn O'Neill shows us why you should never take the risk.
Every makeup addict knows that beauty products are expensive, but the undeniable need to collect as many Naked palettes as possible. So what do you do if you can't afford the latest beauty must have? If you type "Naked Palette" into eBay, hundreds of palettes are available for less than €15.
Now unless these are very lovely retailers, these palettes are more than likely fake. But what's the big deal with buying fake makeup?
Unlike other fake designer products, buying fake makeup can be extremely dangerous as you are putting the product directly on your skin. Unlike the products manufactured by the big beauty brands, these fake products are not made in a regulated factory. Therefore they do not need to have safe ingredients in the products.
So what are you really putting on your skin? Who knows! The fact that they copy the packaging from the real makeup means that they do not put the ingredient list of what is in the product you have purchased. Mercury, lead, arsenic, cyanide and even human urine and rat droppings are often found in counterfeit cosmetics made in China. The level of toxins in some of these products has led to severe allergic reactions including skin rashes and burns, disfigurement and long-term health problems such as high blood pressure and infertility.
Kylie Jenner, the youngest in the Kardashian-Jenner brood, is the owner of a hugely successful cosmetics company. Her lip kits and eye shadow palettes sell out in a matter of seconds when new shades are released. You only have to take a look at eBay to see the huge amount of fake products that you can purchase online for only €1, whereas the real lip kits retail at $29.
The mini mogul has urged her fans not to buy her makeup products anywhere other than her own website. She herself has warned of the dangers of fake beauty products. Some fans who bought the fake lip kits found many horrifying ingredients in their formulas, from glue to gasoline. One girl even got her lips stuck together; a sure sign that these fake products should be thrown out and never purchased again.
"This is getting so out of hand," said Kylie on Snapchat, warning her followers about the counterfeit makeup. "The ingredients that they're using are […] really, really dangerous, which is my biggest concern."
Although high-end makeup products may be extremely expensive, the fake alternative is just too terrifying to even think about. The ingredients found in them are enough to turn me off even browsing eBay for makeup anymore. If you can't afford these products there are definitely cheaper makeup brands that make amazing beauty buys. This is a much better option than these unregulated fake makeup brands on eBay.

Fleurdelys Patisserie has to be one of the most under-rated patisseries in Toronto. They never have crouds like Rahier but their stuff is amazing (though they don't have quite as much stock or choice as Rahier--likely to keep what they have fresh). The almond twists are fantastic and the chocolate desserts look (and taste) a lot like the kind of things you can find at Senses--but I'm pretty sure the cost is lower. Truly, this place should be way more visited than it is.
They also make a nice mocha which you can drink with your pastry at one of their three tables in store.

Celtics let trade deadline pass without a move
Credit: Matthew West (file photo)
Inaction ultimately ruled the day.
"There was a lot of talk, but I'm not sure it was negotiating," Danny Ainge said after today's trade deadline passed with the Celtics, anticipated to be a big participant, finishing the day with the same lineup that they started.
"You know, the phones really picked up in the last two days and there were conversations," he said. "Some of it was us asking questions; some of it was other teams calling to see if we could find something that worked for both of us. But there was nothing really stressful."
Since Ainge drove a spike in the heart of Celtics nation by trading Kendrick Perkins for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic on the day of the 2011 trading deadline, his February moves have barely raised bubbles.
There was Jordan Crawford for Jason Collins last year, and nothing in 2012. And it appears to be back to nothing, as Ainge will now allow expiring contracts and most team options to fade from view (Kris Humphries, Jerryd Bayless, Keith Bogans, Joel Anthony).
Rajon Rondo lives to finish another season as a Celtic. Avery Bradley will be a restricted free agent next summer, giving Ainge and his staff time to decide how badly they want the guard back.
Rondo, Kris Humphries and Gerald Wallace all declined comment at the team hotel today.
In other words, nothing changed once the trade deadline passed at 3 p.m. and Ainge hadn't pulled the trigger.
His history in the marketplace considered, Ainge had raised all sorts of speculation about what he would do today.
The man who used Ray Allen as a perpetual trading chip, and paid the price when an agitated Allen left for Miami two summers ago, was guaranteed to continue gauging Rondo's value.
But as Ainge noted during a radio interview this morning, he had only come close to trading Rondo once, for Chris Paul.
For all of the buzz surrounding Rondo's name this winter, Ainge wasn't going to let his best player – and for now is only all-star – without receiving another significant player in return.
He received plenty of nibbles on Brandon Bass and Humphries – two power forwards who easily could have helped a playoff team this season.
But it became apparent that trading either would have meant taking on additional salary – a forbidden direction for the Celtics if they weren't going to land a significant player.
Staying under the luxury tax threshold remains the priority. The recent signing of Chris Johnson has brought them right up to the limit, too. Ainge's biggest moves have come on draft nights – witness the trades of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett last June and the famous 2007 mechanizations that brought Garnett and Allen to Boston.
That now promises to be the stage for Ainge's next move.

Check Out Scott Kane
Age: 17
Home: Long Beach, California

All I'm going to say about Scott's skating is this: nothing. His skating speaks for itself. He's a pretty much white trash mixed with a little bit of ghetto. Scott has a zest for life-he never takes things slowly. He just grips it and rips it. He's the only person I know who missions all day, and then goes and skates a public park at two a.m. regularly. I'm glad to see that things are happening for Scott because I was getting tired of him asking me, "Dude, make me a video."-Dave Rael-Brook

32bit Vista Chinese; 32bit W7 starter; 32bit XP Pro
Hi Cindi,
If you are going to go ahead with installing W7, I suggest you do it in two stages AND this may seem a bit odd. But after all, the guy who sold you the computer was not on the up and up.
First, either with a LiveCD of Puppy Linux or Ubuntu Linux - verify that the computer is working well. This will not cost you anything. It is just to verify that the hardware is intact. The ONLY drawback with this is that you will have to get someone that understands what to do. The other alternative is to use a computer expert/shop to handle the upgrade for a small fee and to verify your hardware.
Second, reformat the hard disk to completely remove the Vista before you install the new W7. That should both avoid future problems and make the installation a rather straight forward task.
I want to thank people here as I've been rather impatient and shifted over to Ubuntu Linux in the disastrous Vista launch. I have a 64bit machine, a Quad Core 2, that I'd like to install W7 to, but was fearful of getting stuck with something bad from an OEM deal. I happen to be in Taiwan, so there isn't much recourse if it doesn't work due to being a fraudulent vendor.

What definition of value?
What is being valued?
Premise of Value?
Valuation Date v. Report Date
Type of Report?
- Useful for asset intensive businesses - No consideration of "going-concern" or profit
- Preferred by lenders - Intangibles defensible, but difficult
- Facilitates purchase price allocation - Cumbersome valuation process
- Excluding intangibles, can represent - Lack of information "liquidation" value
Advantages Drawbacks
- Value based on actual prices paid - Does not take into account synergies for comparable companies
- Use of hard numbers - Focuses on historical results
- Multiple multiples - Multiple multiples can lead to a divergence of indicated values
- Requires estimation and application of premiums and discounts
Guideline Company or Representative Transactions
Multiples Relevant to Industry Being Valued.
TIC or Equity Multiples?
Comparable Company Medians or Averages?
Haircuts to multiples.
Adjustment from Minority, Freely Traded Basis.
For Transaction Comps, Lookbacks before 15 September 2008
Forward Multiples? An IB tact that mixes approaches
Risk in Market Approach v. Risk in Income Approach
BBB's Cherry-Picking Postulate: If information exists with which to apply an approach to value, then you better use it (or explain why not).
Use experience and professional judgment in reconciling your indications of value from the various approaches.
No formulas or averages. Explain basis for weighting.

Glitter may have been a turkey, but it wasn't so bad that it led Mariah Carey to attempt suicide at least that's what the 32-year-old diva tells Matt Lauer on tonight's Dateline NBC. Carey insists it's "absolutely not" true that she tried to kill herself on July 25, 2001, when she was rushed to a New York hospital after her mom called 911. "I'm far too much of a spiritual person to do that," she says. "That's God's choice when it's time for me to go."

Asking for customer feedback, an advice from mystery shoppers
The concept of mystery shopping is a recent one and it involves an individual which is paid to visit a particular restaurant or a shopping mall or a bank for evaluation of the commodities and services provided by them to their customers. There are various mystery shopping companies which train their personnel in order to assess various aspects of the services that have different preference levels for different customers. Customer feedback is used to assess all these aspects. The US companies are the leaders of the world in providing the top-notch services to their customers as this trait has been noted by many mystery shopping companies around the globe. The negative impact of poor quality of the products and services offered is that the customers shift to the competitors without complaining which is not a good thing at all. The best way to gauge the products and services is to ask for customer feedback. Following are the most effective ways a company can ask for feedback from its customers;
1. Contact forms or Emails
Companies can ask for feedback with the help of emails they receive from their customers. However, they need to make sure that they respond the email and actually respond to the contents of the email by adding those services requested by the customers. This will develop a trust relationship and the customers will consider that their company really cares about their opinions.
2. Surveys and interviews
Developing an appropriate questionnaire for customer survey or interview is not an easy task to perform. The focus can derail from the main cause of this survey as there are plenty of questions companies can ask from their customers. To achieve the best companies must focus on the main goal of the survey or interview that is going to be conducted. The question must be open-ended but smart, and don't mix up two or more question. In case of survey, keep the rating scales consistent throughout and don't use leading tone or load the questions with too many ideas.
3. Product or service usability testing
This idea simply relates with actually giving a product in the hands of a customer and let it be used, keep an eye that which areas are troubling the customer for in the packing of the item ok or is it too much packed that the customer is finding it difficult to open.
4. Listening through social media
In today's digital era social media cannot be ignored at any cost. This media help the companies to understand what is going on in the lives of the customers. At home with their families, the customers are most comfortable so reaching them out there would be most appropriate for getting more useful information.
5. Onsite customer activities
Companies can also evaluate the experience of the customers at their place as well. For instance, if too many customers are checking out the prices, it means that the products are price or maybe they are new to your place. This is the way of getting information without even asking anything from them.

My partner and I just spent 3 days in Brussels. We arrived on Saturday afternoon, too late for a serious lunch, so on our hosts' recommendations, we went to Noord Zee for a snack. It is a fish market where you can chose a piece of fish and they will cook it for you and you eat at a stand-up counter on the sidewalk. We had grilled shrimp and grilled sole fillets which come with tartar sauce and a bit of frisee and tomato, and bread. With a glass each of white wine, we paid 19 euros. Delicious.
For dinner we went to Viva M'Boma, which specialized in organ meats. We had calf's brains served cold with tartar sauce, poached lamb's tongue with salad, pot au feu of beef cheek, oxtail and marrow, and braised veal cheeks in a brown sauce with pearl onions, mushrooms and potatoes. We skipped dessert as this does not appear to be a strong point. With a bottle of the house red wine, a Chilean merlot, the bill came to 85 euros. It was a very good value. The ambience is very lively and it attracts a fashionable clientele.
On Sunday we took a train trip to Bruge and had lunch at Den Dyver. This was exceptional, with a 3-course menu and an appropriate beer pairing for each dish. The price for the menu and beer pairings is 56 euros. After aperitifs of the house beer and canapés served in the beautiful garden, we had the following:
Crayfish en papillote with kohlrabi, grapefruit and vanilla
Game pate with fig marmalade and nut bread
Baked brill with tomato cream, potatoes with rosemary, green beans and fennel
Fillet of young wild boar with shallot sauce, mashed potato and cabbage mixture topped with mascarpone
Tiramisu with pear, topped with coffee granite (Best tiramisu we have ever had!)
Coffee and petit fours were served in the garden. The beer pairings were just wonderful. The restaurant is gorgeous, with high wood ceilings, and brick and wood walls.
Sunday dinner was at Bruneau, which is in a somewhat out-of-the-way part of Brussels. The menu de saison is a good deal at 55 euros, as this is a Michelin 2-star, and their other menus are in the stratosphere. No choices, just 3 courses based on the day's market. After canapés and amuses, we were served crab sandwiched between 2 slices of artichoke heart and topped with salmon mousse, noisettes of veal with truffles, a potato croquette flavored with truffle, a spiced apple, and a sauce of veal reduction. For dessert we had baked sliced mango with mango ice cream, and a small crème brulee. It was a great meal, but beware, the aperitifs, kir au vin blanc, were 12 euros each, and the coffees and petit fours were 9 each. The ambience and service are top-notch, as one would expect in an establishment of this caliber.
Monday we took a train to Antwerp. After walking around checking menus at a number of eligible restaurants, we chose De Reddende Engel, largely based on the fact that partridge was on the menu. We had rabbit rillettes with foie gras emulsion and onion marmalade, hake with fennel and tomato in a broth, roasted partridge with a potato stuffed with a mushroom and bread crumb mixture, a bombe with armagnac and raisin filling, and orange ice cream with caramel sauce. All ice creams are home-made. The 4-course menu was 33.50 euros. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is lovely and the chef, who is from Marseille and also specializes in boulliabaise, is very friendly and welcoming.
Back to Brussels, and dinner at L'Idiot du Village. Very charming, cozy atmosphere and unusual decorating touches. Again the food was more French than Belgian, but it was very good. We had red and yellow tomatoes with anchovies and arugula, a sort of pot-au-feu of oxtail, roast chicken with roesti potatoes, mixed vegetables and a green salad, strawberries with ice cream topped with caramelized grapefruit peel. The tomatoes and strawberries were delicious. The menu is all a la carte and we spent about 125 euros including wine and water.

Perfect Strangers
On a warm summer evening, a loving couple, Rocco, a plastic surgeon and Eva, a therapist is expecting his long-lasting friends to share a pleasant evening over dinner. Everything is in order: the first course is ready, the roast is in the oven and the table is set. Without a doubt, this is going to be a gathering of true friends and the waiting comes to an end when the first couple arrives. The bell rings and it is Lele and Carlotta, followed subsequently by Cosimo and Bianca; the only one missing is Peppe, their friend who is still single. Before long, the group is complete and without any delay, they begin the feast. Surely, this is a nice but somewhat usual dinner, when suddenly someone makes a proposition: to place their mobile phones on the table and like a Russian roulette, whatever arrives (texts, WhatsApp messages, calls) they would share it with the others. Clearly, this uncommon truth or dare game has no point among friends who share everything with each other, nevertheless,...

Since getting married, having three children and disappearing from the spotlight many wondered what Claudette Ortiz of 'City High' had been up to. We all wondered what 'City High', the R&B/Hip Hop trio, had been up to really. Since the group's disbandment, rumors emerged that Ortiz was involved in a love triangle with her band mates. In fact, the rumors suggested she left boyfriend and band mate Robbie Pardlo for the other member of their group, Ryan Toby. Claudette and Ryan eventually got married and had three children.
Now Claudette is back and has joined new hit reality show, 'R&B Divas LA'. She's now finally addressing those rumors and sat down with Bossip to clarify on what really happened. Here's what she had to say…
On Struggling & Being Asked To Do The Show
"Prior to the show, I had really hit rock bottom and I was at a crossroads where I just had to [do the show]. All the little odd jobs that I was doing; I was a chef in the kitchen, I tried to open my own businesses, I had my catering businesses and I had a cleaning business but those things were not enough to raise my children. So, I had to make a choice of am I going to continue going this way? Where is this going? I was like man, I guess I'll just go to the air force reserves. […] I felt like it would pay for school. I didn't have any degree or anything so…"
"I was having a rough night. I had to leave the place I was at, and I was driving with the things in my trunk and my kids were asleep and I had nowhere to go. And that night Phil Thorton from the show texted me but that night I was upset and I was crying. I was like "God, I know there are people out there that have it way worse than I have it but don't forget about me. This is still difficult. That's was when I got the text. I never wanted to be a part of reality shows because I never wanted to expose my children on anything like that."
On Moving From NJ To LA:
"When I [moved to LA] I had to move my children out of their school. It was a big move from East to West Coast and I had just left my four years of being at rock bottom. Four years of being ridiculed and scrutinized on the internet and four years of having to decide between one bill and the other and having to go to the social services building and you're case worker recognizes you and says, "Why are you here?" It breaks you down so I was just coming out of that break down and rebuilding myself and trying to get back into the grove of being in spotlight and being in entertainment. That's a sadness that I believe women do feel and it does show on your face, but you keep it moving, you don't cry. You keep your head up and you keep going, even though you do have that consistent worry and heartbreak.
On Her Breakup With Robbie Contributing To His Drinking Problem:
No. Everybody on the show tried to make it seem like I was the reason. No, the reason why I broke up with him was because of [the alcohol.] I didn't cause him to be that way. I was so young. I was 16 years old. This was before City High was even a group. Once City High was a group, we broke up. My worth was completely broke down to the point where I couldn't even defend myself.
On Current Relationship With Former Band-mate/Ex-Husband Ryan Toby:
We got divorced. We were separated for a year and half before we got the divorce. I think the divorce was [finalized] in 2010.
We were together for 11 years. It wasn't like what everyone thinks is a love triangle.

The Tiger of Mysore

In the 18th century, the Muslim warlord Tipu Sultan terrorised Hindu southern India and clashed repeatedly with the British. Today, his legacy is contested, but he was far from the nationalist that some have claimed, writes Zareer Masani.
The rise to power of India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has coincided with an unprecedented struggle for the country's historical past between Hindu nationalists (represented by the BJP) and the secularists who oppose them. One of the most hotly contested reputations in these 'history wars' is that of the 'Tiger of Mysore', the 18th-century Muslim usurper who took on the might of the East India Company.
It is ironic that the current Hindu nationalist view of Tipu as a sadistic, fanatical war criminal so closely echoes the narratives of the British officers who fought and defeated him more than two centuries ago. It is equally surprising to find this Muslim autocrat, who revelled in the forced conversion of many thousands of Christian and Hindu prisoners, being hailed as a tolerant, secular nationalist by the Indian left. More predictably, he is seen as a Muslim patriot in Pakistan, where a missile has been named after him.
In November 2015, these rival views erupted onto the streets of Bangalore, now home to India's silicon valley and once the second city of Tipu's kingdom. When the Congress government of the state of Karnataka, keen to win Muslim support, designated his birthday a public holiday, BJP supporters took to the streets in protest. Two people died in the riots that followed. The dispute again made headlines when the prominent left-wing playwright Girish Karnad received death threats from Hindu extremists after he suggested that Bangalore's airport be renamed after Tipu.
The dispute illustrates the extent to which the Hindu nationalist psyche still feels the wound it perceives from seven centuries of rule by Muslim conquerors. It also epitomises the difficulty of arriving at a conclusive historical judgement on Tipu, despite the huge archive of contemporary records, including 2,000 of his own letters and the first-hand memoirs of the British prisoners he allegedly tortured and forcibly converted. Tipu's apologists dismiss British accounts as being part of a 'dodgy dossier' aimed at justifying colonial wars against him. Even Tipu's own memoirs and letters, they claim, were doctored by the British scholars who translated them.
We know that Tipu was born in 1750 near Bangalore, the son of a Muslim warlord, Haidar Ali, who rose by the 1760s to effective control of the wealthy Hindu kingdom of Mysore in southern India. Even Tipu's ancestral origins are disputed. His critics insist that his family were not (as they claimed) descendants of an aristocratic Arab from Baghdad, but low-caste Hindu converts to Islam. Also disputed is a British story of Haidar, 'in a paroxysm of brutal drunken rage', publicly flogging his teenaged son and heir in the middle of a humiliating military retreat. 'I have conversed with persons', claimed a British contemporary, 'who saw his [Tipu's] back in a shocking state upwards of a week afterwards.' Many find such testimony unconvincing in view of Tipu's 'extreme personal modesty', which made it highly unlikely that he 'would have gone around displaying his disgraced and riven back to all and sundry'.
Tipu succeeded his tyrannical father in 1782, in the midst of the Second Mysore War with the East India Company. During the course of the conflict, Haidar had nearly ousted the British from their provincial southern capital of Madras. Tipu consolidated his father's territorial gains on the commercially important spice coast of Malabar and brought the war to a successful conclusion, signing the Treaty of Mangalore with the Madras government in 1784. To the fury of Governor-General Warren Hastings, based in Calcutta, the terms agreed by his Madras subordinates left Tipu's kingdom of Mysore as the dominant power in southern India. Tipu now felt he could be magnanimous and offered the Company an alliance; but the offer was declined for fear of upsetting other Indian powers.
For the next seven years, Tipu and the Company were at peace. It was a period when the sultan is credited with running the most efficient, modernising administration in pre-colonial India. His voluminous correspondence shows his often obsessive concern with detail and desire to micromanage his officials. He carried out sweeping, though often pointless, revisions of the official calendar and to weights and measures. For example, he changed the normal Indian distance of a kos from 2.5 miles to 2.75 miles and then decreed that state postmen would be flogged unless they covered that distance in exactly 33 minutes.
On a more productive note, Tipu emphasised the need to expand trade, especially with the Muslim world in the Middle East. He introduced a new coinage, considered the finest in 18th century India, and is credited with founding Mysore's now legendary silk industry by importing silkworms and planting mulberry trees. A typical minute sent to one of his district officers had 127 instructions, ranging from the promotion of farming to a ban on cannabis. Tipu, unlike his father, was strictly teetotal and enforced a state ban on alcohol, except for his small band of French mercenaries. He is reputed to have been a generous patron of learning and the arts, with a library of more than 2,000 books, beautifully bound and later captured by the British.
The sultan's personal appearance made a favourable impression on at least one British official, who described him as 'uncommonly well made, except in the neck, which was short and large; his leg, ankle and foot beautifully proportioned, his arms large and muscular … but his hands rather too fine and delicate for a soldier'. He was surrounded by elaborate pomp and pageantry and sat on a specially commissioned, octagonal gold throne with its jewelled tiger-head finials, in an impressive throne room, whose colossal stone pillars still stand. His court chroniclers claimed that the sultan breakfasted on 'the brains of tame male sparrows', had two wives and 68 concubines, but nevertheless lived simply with little revelry and read himself to sleep at night.
As a Muslim ruler, Tipu generally respected the religious sensitivities of his predominantly Hindu subjects and spared them the ferocious persecution he visited on those in the territories he conquered. Tipu ruled through an almost exclusively Muslim officer corps, many of whom were his own kinsmen. It was as a military leader that he was most comfortable. He inherited from his father what was by far the largest and best trained professional army in the subcontinent, based on a system of compulsory service rather than feudal levies. His troops numbered around 100,000, compared with the East India Company's meagre 12,000 Europeans and 20,000 Indian sepoys. They lived with their families in cantonments around the capital, known as Seringapatam, and were fiercely loyal to the sultan as their commander. They were smartly dressed in a livery bearing Tipu's favourite tiger stripes and had excellent equipment, with muskets, rockets and artillery superior to the Company's.
Tipu declared that he would sooner live two days as a tiger than 200 years as a sheep. He kept half a dozen tigers chained on the veranda of his palace and was credited with having wrestled and killed a wild tiger with his bare hands. The most famous relic of his tiger-worship is 'Tipu's Tiger', the life-size mechanical toy, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum, depicting a wooden tiger devouring a prone British soldier, while an organ in its bowels emits lifelike tiger roars and human screams.
The temptation to use his superior military strength to swallow up weaker neighbours was one that the Tiger of Mysore was unable to resist and it brought him into inevitable collision with the East India Company. Britain's traditional policy was to protect its interests by maintaining a balance of power between Indian states. Tipu threatened to upset this balance with his expansionist military campaigns and even more so by his overtures to France, Britain's global rival.
Throughout the late 1780s, Tipu waged a series of minor wars, seizing territories from his northern neighbours, the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Hindu Marathas. He then turned south, annexing the Hindu kingdom of Coorg and various other principalities in Kerala, eventually attacking the Hindu Raja of Travancore, a British ally. His conquests were accompanied by major waves of religious and ethnic cleansing, with many thousands of Hindus and Christians massacred, deported, enslaved, tortured, forcibly circumcised and converted to Islam. Many hundreds of temples and churches were despoiled and destroyed. Allowing for exaggeration by his enemies, Tipu's own letters proudly claim credit for such atrocities as the hanging of thousands of 'unbelievers' in Malabar. He was particularly shocked by the freedoms enjoyed by the women of some Keralan sects. He told the people of Coorg: 'It is the custom with you for the eldest of five brothers to marry, and for the wife of such brother to be common to all five: hence there cannot be the slightest doubt of your all being bastards.' He promised, with characteristic grim humour, that he would make them legitimate by converting them to Islam.
It was then common practice in southern India to punish enemies by cutting off their noses and upper lips, boiling them in oil, impaling them on stakes and chaining them to the feet of angry elephants. Tipu used such punishments freely and added his own innovations. His love of mechanical toys is said to have included a wooden horse with sharp steel spikes on its saddle, which condemned men had to ride. The spikes would impale them when the horse reared. One horseman, it was rumoured, won a pardon because he was skilful enough to avoid the spikes.
By comparison, Tipu's hundred or so British prisoners got off lightly, despite rumours that some were poisoned, garrotted or fed to his pet tigers. According to the memoirs of survivors, 52 British teenage boys were chosen for conversion to Islam in 1783. They were plied with bhang (hashish), held down by their arms and legs and circumcised by a barber. They were then plunged into scalding hot cauldrons of water to disinfect their wounds. Surprisingly, only one of them died. The rest were recruited into Tipu's European brigades, while the youngest and prettiest became palace servants and dancing boys. Sadly, they were not released under subsequent peace treaties with the Company because Tipu maintained that they were willing converts and therefore his subjects.
In 1791, an alliance of the British, the Nizam and the Marathas decided to teach the tyrant of Mysore a lesson. The new Governor-General, Lord Cornwallis, wrote:
The daring and restless ambition of Tippoo, the superiority of his talents over the rest of the Princes of this country, the mischievous purposes to which these talents have been constantly applied, not only in oppressing his subjects and tributaries, but in disturbing the tranquillity of his neighbours, would undoubtedly render it desirable as well for our future peace as for the cause of humanity that he should be driven from that throne which his father so unjustly usurped.
As allied troops closed in on his capital, Tipu sued for peace and Cornwallis decided to leave him on his throne, subjected to harsh terms which deprived him of half his kingdom and levied with a heavy financial indemnity to be paid to the victors. Tipu's modern champions have made much of the fact that Cornwallis insisted on taking two of his sons as hostages, yet hostage-taking was a common practice between Indian states and the boys were treated with every possible comfort and courtesy. The princes and their large retinue lived in great style in Madras, where they became a big attraction on the social scene, attending banquets and balls, including performances of Handel's oratorios Messiah and Judas Maccabaeus. When they were safely returned to Tipu in 1794, the British captain who escorted them reported that the grateful sultan spoke highly of Cornwallis, admired the excellence of the English constitution, condemned the French for murdering their king and said they deserved every misfortune that had befallen them.
Yet it soon became clear that Tipu's real agenda was to use French aid to expel the British, whom he now regarded as the main obstacle to his own imperial ambitions. Tipu had assumed the title of Padshah or Emperor, hitherto reserved for the Great Moghul in Delhi, and he now sent embassies to other Muslim rulers, like the Ottoman Sultan, the Shah of Iran and the Amir of Afghanistan, seeking their recognition and support in a jihad against the British infidels. He also, more surprisingly, embraced the new French Republic, welcoming Jacobins to his court. A big ceremonial event at Seringapatam in May 1797 saw the French tricolour hoisted to a salute of 2,300 cannon and 500 rockets and the Sultan was welcomed as 'Citoyen Tipou', donning the cap of liberty and calling the new republic 'my sister'.
More ominously, Tipu sent emissaries to Napoleon, who had recently invaded Egypt, proposing that he should push on to India, which he and Tipu could then carve up between themselves. The threat of such an invasion was taken seriously in British government circles. In India, too, a new and more assertive Governor-General, Lord Wellesley, sent Tipu repeated protests demanding that he sever all relations with the French and accept a British resident at his court. When the sultan remained evasive and welcomed a small force of French volunteers from Mauritius, Wellesley, in a minute of August 1798, condemned this as 'a public, unqualified and unambiguous declaration of war' aimed at 'the total destruction of the British Government in India'.
In the conflict that followed, Tipu turned out to be something of a paper tiger. A British invasion of Mysore met with little resistance, partly because most of Tipu's leading generals and advisers defected to the British or were bought over. Rather than accept a humiliating surrender, the sultan himself died fighting in the siege of his capital on May 4th, 1799. His bravery was acknowledged by the British, who gave him an impressive public funeral, with a grenadier guard of honour, a gun salute and a crowd-lined procession to his family tomb. Tipu's huge household, comprising 12 sons, eight daughters, a harem of 600 and several thousand dependents, was generously pensioned off and comfortably housed by the East India Company, first at Vellore, near Madras, and later at Calcutta. One of Tipu's sons, Prince Ghulam Mohamed, eventually settled in London, where Queen Victoria took him under her wing, knighted him and made him a regular guest at Windsor.
His father's exploits had by then become a popular theme for London exhibitions, re-enactments and Victorian adventure stories about the perils and rewards of empire. Meanwhile, Tipu's tomb at Seringapatam, carefully maintained at British expense, became a revered meeting place for Muslims hostile to British rule, 'a proof how readily crimes that cry to Heaven are condoned', a British writer lamented, 'when the perpetrator of them is supposed to have been animated by … the faith which he professed.'
Tipu continued to polarise Indian opinion on largely sectarian lines. The Hindu Wadiyar dynasty, whom Wellesley restored, reigned over Mysore until Indian independence in 1947, with a reputation as the most enlightened and modernising princely state in the subcontinent. Historians of the Mysore princely states have regarded Tipu as a fanatical Muslim dictator who left behind a trail of destroyed temples and churches and forced mass conversions. The sectarian nature of Tipu's cruelty may be disputed, but there is certainly no evidence that he was motivated by the kind of nationalist patriotism with which some Indian liberals now imbue him.
'This is a wrong view arrived at by projecting the present into the past', admits Tipu's most sympathetic biographer, the Muslim academic Professor Mohibbul Hasan. 'In the age in which Tipu lived and ruled there was no sense of nationalism or an awareness among Indians that they were a subject people.' Tipu, Hasan rightly concludes, fought the British 'to preserve his own power and independence', not for any higher ideal of national freedom.

For the Orioles, a good road trip had a tough ending that produced a rare one-run loss.
They fell 2-1 to Boston, but remained one game out of first place as the Yankees lost 5-4 to Oakland. The Orioles fall to 87-65 and their six-game win streak comes to an end. They are now 27-9 in one-run decisions.
In the top of the ninth, the Orioles loaded the bases with one out, but Manny Machado grounded into a forceout at home and pinch-hitter Ryan Flaherty was called out on strikes to end the game.
The game saw Dylan Bundy make his major league debut with Boston leading 2-1 in the last of the eighth. He faced two batters and got Ryan Lavarnway and Danny Valencia to fly out to end the inning and keep the Orioles within one run.
The Orioles can look back to missed chances in the fifth and ninth. They scored on a Machado RBI single in the fifth to tie the game at 1-1 but could score no further with runners on first and third and no outs.
Boston broke the 1-1 tie with back-to-back doubles off Luis Ayala in the eighth by Dustin Pedroia and Cody Ross. Ross scored the game's first run in the fourth on Robert Andino's throwing error.
Chris Tillman got the start and gave up just one run over six innings. Tillman has an ERA of 1.64 over his last four starts and 2.76 in eight road starts.
The Orioles lost for just the third time in 12 games and sixth time in the last 20. They are now 10-5 against Boston, 7-2 at Fenway Park. The O's went 6-3 on this road trip.
They begin a week-long seven-game homestand on Monday at 4:05 p.m. when they host Toronto in a doubleheader with Steve Johnson (3-0, 1.91 ERA) and Wei-Yin Chen (12-9, 3.98 ERA) scheduled to pitch.
