Patricia Highsmith
Associated Press
Patricia Highsmith (Jan. 19, 1921 - Feb. 5, 1995) was an American writer whose tales of gentlemen murderers and psychological intrigue were often explorations of her own obsessions. Among her 22 books, she is best known for "Strangers on a Train," which Alfred Hitchcock made into a movie in 1951, and "The Talented Mr. Ripley," made into a film with Matt Damon and Jude Law in 1999. Both novels feature sociopaths and murder.
Ms. Highsmith, who was born in Fort Worth and raised in Manhattan, spent most of her life in Europe, living first in England, then in France and finally in southern Switzerland. She died at 74 in 1995 in Locarno, Switzerland, near where she had lived since 1982.
Joan Schenkar, Highsmith's enterprising biographer ("The Talented Miss Highsmith," St. Martin's Press, 2009) culled from the writer's 38 identical-looking notebooks that Highsmith called ''cahiers'' and referred to as ''comfortable personal outgushings'' as well as her separate diaries. There were also charts, maps, diagrams and plans. In 1945 Highsmith created a chart to compare and contrast some, though hardly all, of the women who were her lovers and to describe them with clinical detachment. For someone who eventually developed a reputation as a cantankerous old shut-in, Highsmith emerges in the biography as a surprisingly romantic, hot-blooded, sociable and social-climbing creature.
In her old age, Highsmith was characterized by her virulent racism and anti-Semitism, in which she used numerous pseudonyms to inveigh against Israel. Whatever innate characteristics she might have been born with, the circumstances that tortured Highsmith through her life included: a self-loathing of her lesbianism; resentment that she didn't gain entry to New York's highest social stratum; and a destructive love-hate relationship with her mother, Mary, who, when Patricia was 12, left the heartbroken child to live in Fort Worth with her grandmother for a year.
Ms. Highsmith often said that she disliked being classified as a crime writer and many reviewers tended to agree. Graham Greene, with whom Ms. Highsmith frequently corresponded, called her a "writer who has created a world of her own — a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger."

The client list is an impressive who's who of the sporting world: Sidney Crosby, Eli Manning, Pete Sampras, Carmelo Anthony, Paula Creamer. That list is just a sampling of the standout athletes that game on Nation has helped in its mission of improving communication and self-awareness while plying their trades in the public eye.
But game on Nation's sphere of influence extends past athletic fields and arenas and into the professional and private sectors and some very private sectors, like working with the Navy SEALs.
The USO Caregivers Conference that will be taking place on May 30 in San Antonio will be the second time game on Nation will participate and associate director and communication coach Blair Bloomston (pictured) has a pretty clear idea of the direction she'd like to take her audience of servicemen and women and their families.
"My hope is that: 1. I would like to break down some of the stress and weight that they carry, by giving them a chance to laugh, let go and recharge their batteries," Bloomston said. "And we're really excited to start the day [on May 30] and keep them fueled for the rest of the conference. And the second thing is showing people how to be resourceful and creative and how many skills they already have. To be resilient."
So whether it's a Super Bowl champion quarterback or Navy SEAL commando or military spouse and parent of three children, there are certain qualities that all people share and can incorporate into the fabric of their lives.
Bloomston said: "We have three things that are common to all people: honesty. By honesty, that's not 'Tell the truth.' But what I really mean is being true to who you are. The self-awareness of how [you] approach this challenge. And then owning the strength of who you are. Playing within your game.
"Second is humility. We really think of putting someone or something -- could be faith or an actual person or a code -- above yourself. And acting or behaving with that code or that person or that thing that is above you that you are trying to lift up, keeping that in mind.
"Third is humor and how everybody loves to laugh. And use the creativity to pull out that wit and lightheartedness and playfulness that we might lose when we're 11 years old. It's quite powerful."
Those three virtues and aforementioned resiliency are fine tools for all people to possess no matter their profession, but especially so for military families who may be saddled with additional challenges resulting from their loved one's time spent deployed. While issues may range from adjusting to life away from the battlefield to coping with more serious circumstances like traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post traumatic stress (PTS), all are addressed with the attention to basic tenets that game on Nation espouses.
"I think that we have within us, as humans, we have triggers, gut instincts," Bloomston said. "And one that is very powerful is that we all respond to love. And I don't mean romantic films or simple things like hugging your child. It's being cared for. It's about that chicken soup or that blanket to warm you.
"A lot of our training goes back to that care feeling, that good feeling, that warmth that you feel after laughing and taking a risk and hearing applause and validation. So I want people to actively show and demonstrate that care, not just to those close to them, but to every single person in that room with them. And I want them to experience that feeling of being cared for and the confidence that that can give them.
"That's what the Caregivers Conference should be all about."

Nowadays, it seems like everything comes in 3D, from movies (Avatar, anyone?) to mascara (thank you, Revlon). So it makes sense that even clothes have gone 3D--specifically with interesting pleats and folds that enliven the most basic-looking dresses or jackets. From dramatic folds that take center stage in an outfit to subtler iterations that simply add a touch of visual intrigue, this edgy trend is stylishly suitable for both the workplace (see Carine Roitfeld) and more festive occasions (see Ana Girardot).
To reference a rather adventurous take on 3D folds, we must direct you to Burberry Prorsum's bold look from the S/S 12 runway. Designer Christopher Bailey's Malachite Printed Skirt ($2495) is a stunning combination of two of the season's in-demand trends--folds and tribal-inspired patterns! The knee-length piece, in a vivid boomerang print, features extravagant draped and knotted panels in the front; the skirt's abundant folds could have overtaken the outfit, but are cleverly offset by the Black Dry Hand Heavy Jersey Jacket ($1995). Woven accessories, like the Beaded Canvas Check Clutch ($1295) in Indigo Green and Woven Leather Platform Boots ($1495) in Dark Tan, lend the mixed-print runway ensemble an earthy vibe.
Though Burberry Prorsum's look is certainly for the girl who doesn't mind taking a sartorial risk and standing out in a crowd, we found five chic tastemakers who wear 3D folds in just a slightly more subdued fashion. Last month, model/blogger Hanneli Mustaparta sported a chic Tibi Ruffled Jacquard Dress ($440) featuring pronounced peplum folds over a white top at a W Magazine soiree in New York. Though the somber black and white shades of her outfit are quite simple, it's the origami-like folds at the waistline that keep Mustaparta's outfit elegant and feminine! 3D folds made another appearance on Ana Girardot's ensemble at the Chloe F/W 12 show in Paris earlier this month. The French actress sported the label's bright red Dress ($1895, 877.551.7257) with exaggerated shoulders from the label's Pre-Fall 12 collection. The frock's silhouette is demure, particularly when paired with tights, black pumps, and a black clutch, but its vibrant hue and amplified sleeves provide plenty of attention-grabbing detail!
If, however, cocktail parties and front-row tickets to the latest fashion shows are not on your agenda in the near future, you may want to take a look at the office-appropriate ways Rooney Mara and Carine Roitfeld wear 3D folds. The former teamed her Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Tri-Color Wool Peplum Jacket ($2160) from the Pre-Fall 11 collection with an ASOS Playsuit with Shirt Detail ($90), tights, and simple Mary Jane pumps at a photocall for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo earlier this year in Madrid. Mara is fond of making a sartorial statement with one solitary piece; in this case, it's her structured wool topper, in complementary shades of taupe, brown, and black, with a flounced hem. The actress, who possesses a famously streamlined style aesthetic, grounded the look with a one-piece romper for a formal-meets-casual mix that we absolutely love. Street style favorite Roitfeld also chose to don Givenchy at the Prada store opening in Paris in late January. The former French Vogue editor-in-chief, however, opted for a more daring look in the label's Peplum Jacket ($4145, 212.826.8900) from the S/S 12 collection, featuring exaggerated lapels and a lavish peplum. Her slim pencil skirt tones down the jacket's voluminous shape, creating a flattering--and very striking--overall look!
Perhaps the most risk-taking getup we've spotted thus far is Josephine de la Baume's matching top-and-pants set at the John Galliano F/W 12 show in Paris earlier this month. The French actress and singer pulled off an on-trend monochromatic outfit in deep indigo; her sleek buttoned jacket adorned with precise overlapping folds appears effortlessly polished when paired with slacks in the same rich hue. A few well-chosen accessories, such as de la Baume's white clutch and flashy animal-print heels, break up the single-color ensemble and inject the look with fashion-forward panache.
If you're folding under the pressure of this sophisticated trend (as we suspected you might after reading today's story), we've gathered some alternatives that can be seamlessly incorporated into your current wardrobe. Since a little black dress is every woman's basic go-to for a night out, it's the ideal way to try out 3D folds a la Mustaparta's look. We love BOSS' Stretch Wool Sheath Dress ($385), ASOS' Exclusive Corset Dress With Fold Detail ($49), The Limited's Jacquard Sheath Dress ($71), and A Detacher's Asymmetrical Cotton Dress ($670), which all feature gentle draping at the waistline or shoulders. Another way to achieve Mustaparta's look is by trying a shirt-and-skirt set; simply pair La Petite S*****'s Asymmetric Linen-Blend Top ($1015) with Tibi's Jacquard Skirt ($345). Together, the shirt's feminine pleats combined with the skirt's origami-like panels make up an intriguing 3D look! Should you prefer a cocktail number in a brighter hue, like Girardot's red frock, we've sourced four stunners that range from affordable to totally indulgent, including River Island's Origami Detail Dress ($81), ASOS' Aqua Bruni Origami Bandeau Mini Dress ($107), Opening Ceremony's Striped Jersey Dress ($275), and Roland Mouret's O'Hara Origami-Style Crepe Dress ($2040).
However, it's possible you'd rather give 3D folds a try in the form of a structured blazer; to channel Mara and Roitfeld's pulled-together ensembles, all you need is a jacket in a neutral, goes-with-everything shade. We culled Topshop's Folded Lapel Jacket ($110), Tahari's Arthur S. Levine Classics Linen Ruffle Front Blazer ($130), 3.1 Phillip Lim's Floating Peplum Jacket ($172) in Antique White, and Mark & James' Tweed Jacket ($400) in Oatmeal; each of these blazers feature strong lapels or a flouncy peplum that isn't overly fussy (and thus, still wearable for your 9-to-5). And while it's not easy finding unique pieces like de la Baume's shirt-and-pants set, we suggest these 3D dresses in a similar color palette: Nasty Gal's Victoria Peplum Dress ($58) in Navy or ML Monique Lhuillier's Bridesmaids Origami Taffeta Sheath Dress ($198). No matter how you opt to wear 3D folds, we guarantee one thing: you won't be folding this trend away anytime soon!--Tiffany Tse

New Zealand victorious at London Sevens - All the highlights and Best Tries
New Zealand ended the HSBC Sevens World Series on a high as they added to their series title with a London Sevens victory, demolishing Australia 47-12 in the final. It was their second Cup title of the season, and 11th World Series title in 14 seasons.
The New Zealand side hadn't won in London since 2007 but on a world record attendance weekend (71 898 fans at Twickenham on Saturday), the men in black finished in style.
They reached the final after a tight encounter with Kenya, winning just 7-0, but had beaten Argentina 52-7 in the quarter final, so knew they had it in them going into the Australia game.
South Africa claimed second spot on the final standings despite having a relatively poor tournament by their standards, failing to get past the quarter final stage. Hosts England finished third, but ended the series in sixth place on the table.
New Zealand only won two of the nine tournaments in the series, but were by far the most consistent, reaching the Cup quarter finals on every leg.
"We work really hard and you get a lot when you work hard," said coach Gordon Tietjens.
Attention now turns towards the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow at the end of June. "There will be no easy games in the World Cup and we will go there and give it our best shot, that's what keeps us going," added Tietjens.
Final Sevens World Series standings: New Zealand 173, South Africa 132, Fiji 121, Samoa 104, Kenya 99, England 92, Wales 91, Australia 89

And fatherb, the stadium was empty at the end because most English fans left once their team were out. Saturday was much better and I think 70,000 was pretty accurate. The weather and train system probably had something to do with people leaving early too...

MASSENA - The Back the Pack program, which provides healthy weekend snacks for Massena elementary schools, is now serving 250 children a week, according to Committee Chairperson Julianne C. Paquin.
Theyre serving students in grades kindergarten through six at Jefferson, Madison and Nightengale elementary schools, as well as Trinity Catholic School, an effort that costs them about $35,000 a year, Ms. Paquin said.
Thats all private donations and fundraising, she said.
The program is providing snacks for 75 students each at Jefferson, Madison and Nightengale and for 25 students at Trinity.
All three elementary schools are at their maximum, Ms. Paquin said.
The Back the Pack program, which was started by a group of local volunteers 18 months ago, was formed to ensure that children in the Massenas elementary schools arent going hungry. They now have about 50 volunteers.
Theyve just been phenomenal. Im jus so proud of the whole group. Everyone works so hard, she said.
Their goal is to gather monetary donations, food donations or sponsorships so they can provide healthy, hearty weekend snacks for children in need when school meals are unavailable.
The group gathers the items, puts them in Ziploc bags and distributes them to the school. Madison Elementary School was the pilot school, and theyve since expanded to include all of Massenas elementary schools.
We started our first distribution a year ago October with Madison. We expanded every three months until last April when we had all four elementary schools involved, Ms. Paquin said.
School counselors identify children in need, and they get authorization from those parents to let the students participate in the program. The teachers put the bags into the students backpacks every Friday so they have the snacks to munch on over the weekend.
Among the items the children will find are breakfast bars, sandwich crackers, cereals, fruit cups, raisins and fruit punch - whatever can be packed into the Ziploc bag for distribution.
Were doing the maximum we can afford to do. We have enough to cover what we know we need, Ms. Paquin said.
Their efforts for the 2012-13 school year began again this fall, and theyve held fundraisers during the year to raise more money. Those fundraisers included souvenir cup sales in cooperation with the Massena Central football team, an American Legion Michigan Hots night and a spaghetti dinner at the Italian-American Club, which was a big hit.
We literally sold out of everything, she said.
They were also the beneficiaries of the proceeds from the 12th annual Dam 4-Miler Walk/Run held in September at the New York Power Authoritys Hawkins Point Visitors Center, and Ms. Paquin said they were involved in the Bon Ton Community Days.
In addition, a Trivia Night at the Massena Elks Lodge raised more money.
We had a lot of fun. We enjoyed it, she said.
Most recently, Curves did a food drive, and students at Rose Hill packed 1,000 snack packs and helped unload a truck filled with a two-month supply of food. Second-grade students and teachers at Madison Elementary School meanwhile collected food items in December as part of their study of the character education theme of citizenship and compassion.
They sent a letter home to parents asking for help with that project and requesting items such as individual cereal boxes, peanut butter crackers, individual bags of Goldfish, Cheese Nips, pretzels and snack mix, pudding cups, fruit cups, Granola and cereal bars, and fruit snacks.
I insist two boxes of cereal go into each pack. Its our most expensive item, Ms. Paquin said.
Looking ahead, Alcoa and the New York Power Authority will be visiting their warehouse on Wednesday to pack items. They use the former Arrow building on East Orvis Street, which has been made available to them for no charge by Massena Savings and Loan.
Its that kind of assistance that has kept the program going, she said.
Weve had a lot of private donations, and a lot of organizations have stepped forward. The money is spent only on food, Ms. Paquin said.
The group is not holding any fundraisers right now, but will as the year progresses, she said.
Were not doing anything right now. We will do some in the spring, she said.
They will, however, take donations any time of the year.
Fundraising is an on-going project. Anyone that ever wants to donate can send it to Back the Pack, P.O. Box 16, Massena, New York 13662, Ms. Paquin said.
New volunteers are also welcomed.
Were always happy to have new members, she said.
Their next meeting will be at 10 a.m. Feb. 13 at the former Arrow building.

North country farmers recall planting crops in late March and early April last spring a month earlier than normal because of unusually warm weather.
That memory has made them restless this spring, though, as they await higher temperatures.
Every year you think the last year is the norm for weather, but it actually isnt, said Arthur F. Baderman, a former Rodman dairy farmer and now an agriculture educator at the Jefferson County Cooperative Extension. Last year was one of those extremes where farmers were pushing the envelope because of the weather. Thats why theyre now ready to start planting crops.
Another reason farmers are eager to plant hay and corn, he said, is that last summers drought greatly reduced the amount of hay harvested to feed cattle. Most farmers were forced to feed cattle more corn silage than usual to avoid running out of hay. Thats why it will be critical for farmers to harvest more crops this season to make up for last years losses.
Most farmers cannot expand their farms because of the scarcity of land for sale. Instead, they are trying to increase crop yields by spreading more manure and fertilizer. Some farmers are also planting more hay seed this year, or theyre planting corn on acres previously used for other crops such as soybeans.
My thought is that more soybean acres at farms will be seeded into corn or hay to make up for losses in forage, Mr. Baderman said. But as always, the main factor determining their success will be Mother Nature.
If they plant the same number of acres but we have no drought, theyre going to have a lot more inventory this year, he said.
Nevertheless, it probably will take a couple of years for farmers to recover fully from last years losses. Gregory G. Porter, co-owner of Porterdale Farms in Adams Center, said the six-week stretch of sizzling weather from mid-June through July will have farmers chasing the drought for another year or two to make up losses. Some farmers bailed almost no hay in June because the sun scorched the ground.
On Friday, a tractor pulled an 8,000-gallon liquid manure spreader across fields at Porterdale Farms. Fertilizing crops with the machine is a strategy Mr. Porter hopes will increase harvest yields this season.
Were trying to maximize the fertilizer value in the manure by injecting it into the ground and increasing amounts, he said.
Rotating discs on the spreader plow the soil while hoses spray the manure. Spreading manure into the ground helps ensure its important nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potash cant escape in the air. Were certainly going to invest more in our inputs to raise crops, and priority number one is to increase our inventory.
Farmers are restless for the weather to warm up in a hurry because extended cold spring weather gives them a shorter window of time to plant their crops.
Every passing week of cold gives farmers more pressure, said Lyle J. Wood, who co-owns a farm in Cape Vincent with Scott F. Bourcy. In 2012, the farm leased an additional 1,000 acres, which will help it shore up forage losses caused by the drought. Acres of corn will increase from 1,200 to 1,700 while alfalfa hay will jump from 700 to 1,200 acres.
Last year, the farm had the luxury of planting hay the first week of April when the ground temperature rose above 50 degrees.
You like to have your hay seedlings in early so you dont have to plant corn at the same time, Mr. Wood said. If it stays cold, you can end up having to do all of your seeding at once.
But the farmer isnt asking Mother Nature for too many favors: Well be fine if we have a normal spring, he said.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/4 hr
TOTAL TIME: 7 hr (includes freezing)
IngredientsFor semifreddo:
- 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds with skin (1 ounce), toasted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 (3-inch) strip lemon zest
- 1/2 cup grappa
- 8 firm-ripe apricots (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds), halved and pitted
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For semifreddo:
Line a lightly oiled 8 1/2-by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Cook 1/3 cup sugar in a dry small heavy skillet over medium heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until a deep golden caramel.
Stir in almonds to coat and scrape onto baking sheet. Cool, then break into pieces. Pulse in a food processor until praline is finely ground (do not grind to a paste).
Beat eggs and remaining 1/4 cup sugar with a pinch of salt in a 2-quart metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water using a handheld electric mixer at high speed until tripled in volume and very thick, about 8 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and continue to beat until mixture is cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Stir in extract.
With cleaned beaters, beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold about one third of whipped cream into egg mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining cream and all but 1 tablespoon praline gently but thoroughly (reserve 1 tablespoon praline for garnish). Spoon into loaf pan and freeze, covered, until firm, at least 6 hours.
Poach apricots:
Bring water, sugar, and zest to a simmer in a 12-inch heavy skillet, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Simmer 5 minutes. Add grappa and return to a simmer. Toss apricots with lemon juice, then put, cut sides down, in grappa syrup and simmer 5 minutes. Turn apricots over and simmer until just tender, 1 to 3 minutes more.
Transfer apricots with a slotted spoon to a 13-by 9-inch dish, arranging them in 1 layer. Boil syrup in skillet until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes, and pour over apricots. Cool to room temperature.
Uncover semifreddo and invert onto a chilled platter, using plastic wrap to help pull it from mold. Sprinkle reserved praline on top. Slice semifreddo crosswise and serve with apricots and syrup.
Cooks notes:
Semifreddo can be made
3 days ahead and kept frozen, well wrapped.
Apricots with syrup can be made 2 days ahead and chilled.
The eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked.

I4food : Six European regions join forces to improve their food industry policies Publicat la data de: 22/08/2013
I4Food, an EU-funded project, aims to develop and improve regional policies for competitive and sustainable regional food industries, with a particular focus on SMEs. By the end 2014, the project is expected to deliver exchanges of experience between 6 European regions, transferability studies and policy recommendations.
The I4Food project (Interregional Cooperation for Competitive and Sustainable Regional Food Industries) has grown out from recent changes in the European food producing industry. It was inspired by the recommendations of the High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the Agro-Food Industry.
Nowadays, food companies need to participate in the global market while reinforcing socio-economic cohesion at European level. In this context, the European food industry has to be more innovative, competitive and sustainable. By exploiting safe, healthy and regional food products, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) may target new markets, attract investments and skilled workforce into their regions, and simultaneously preserve their environmental values.
I4Food regions are all affected by these challenges. To respond properly to the challenges, they have to develop relevant strategies. The same sub-sectors can be found in the I4Food partner regions, namely meat, fish, processed fruit and vegetables, oil and fats, dairy products, grain processing and beverages. Through the I4Food project, the partner regions intend to exchange good policy practices and assess their transferability.
The project is supported by the European Union under the INTERREG IV C programme. It will run until the end 2014.

Teaching CollaborationsInterdisciplinary School Leadership Development Seminar
3 session inter departmental series---School culture is, in part, comprised of the beliefs shared by education professionals, including principals, school counselors and school psychologists. This series examines beliefs of pre-service graduate students in Counseling, Educational Leadership and School Psychology regarding the roles and functions of each specific discipline in addressing challenging student behavior. This process will utilize "crucial conservations" (Patterson, Grenny, McMillan & Switzler, 2002) to unpack underlying assumptions of school discipline systems and their responsiveness to students with different emotional and behavioral needs. The impact of interdisciplinary collaboration on graduate student development will be examined through theoretical discussion, experiential learning and case based training.
Research InterestsRole of leadership in systems change: Focus on RTI and Professional Learning Communities
Co-Principal Investigator (with Andrew Snyder, RIC) of a 3-year Title II grant, a partnership with RIHOE and Central Falls, "An Integrated Model of Professional Development." Through cooperative work with the Rhode Island Association of School Principals, the grant seeks to develop professional learning communities whose members are highly knowledgeable and able to use assessment and RTI to guide quality instruction that positively and directly impacts achievement in literacy and mathematics.
Addressing anxiety in the schools
This project is a collaboration with a 3rd grade teacher at Henry Barnard School, Ms. Barbra Ondis and the Guidance Counselor, Ms. Janet Fraatz is continuing. This project addresses anxiety in students in a 3rd grade classroom. Consistent with best practice in mental health service delivery in the schools, a three tier RTI (Response to Intervention) framework guides curriculum and intervention choices supported by data. A unique aspect of this project is the integration of research based work on relaxation techniques with promising development of new curriculum using yoga to reduce stress. This is supplemented with evidence based cognitive behavioral interventions addressing anxiety for those individuals identified as at risk.

It was very hard for me to hear your responses to this interview, but I did listen to your responses. So you've been playing since the age of 5?! That's really cool. It seems like your dad really inspired you and gave you the resources to become a drummer. Keep playing, you're a wonderful drummer. (:

HEUVELTON The village sewer rehabilitation project is being pared back as funding is lowered to just the amount needed to cover critical infrastructure issues.
The project, which originally was slated to begin this fall, also may be pushed back to the spring or early summer of 2014.
Mayor Barbara A. Lashua said the funding levels are still in flux, but the project appears to have been reduced to $2.3 million from its original $3 million proposal.
Mrs. Lashua said the reduced project cut out items the state Environmental Facilities Corporation considered candidates for regular maintenance instead of outright replacement.
The new funding includes roughly $700,000 from the village, paid for up front by an interest-free loan through EFC, a grant from EFC for roughly $1.2 million and a $500,000 incentive from Empire State Development Corp., the states economic development arm.
Timothy A. Burley, an engineer at C2AE, Canton, said he hopes to have a state Department of Transportation permit to begin the project within the next few weeks and have bids ready to be accepted by the Board of Trustees in time for their October monthly meeting.
Mr. Burley said, however, that fall is a difficult time to find companies willing to begin new projects.
Depending on the bids, Mr. Burley said, the project may have to wait until the spring to commence, adding that the village might find lower prices and more competitive bidding if they wait.
If its financially beneficial to wait, then we will put it off, Mrs. Lashua said.
The project, once it is complete, will have replaced roughly 10,000 feet of gravity-fed sewers and 75 manholes, upgraded two pumping stations and installed a duplex-grinder pumping station. The electrical entrance to the wastewater treatment plant also will be replaced.

I've seen that at work. Sometimes, even if the machine is old, replacing the hard drive gives it a speed boost.
I think they get tired with old age.
I just upgraded my box. There was too many ifs with getting a mac mini. Not sure what was going to work.
Anyways I just realized that my hard drive was holding me back. I now have 2 ghz box with a gig of memory and my box is still slow. It has to be the hard drive. Its as slow as my old box.
So when I build my parents a box from my old parts I'm going to have to buy them a new hd. I think my hard drive is about 5 years old. I don't know why it never crossed my mind.
I've seen that at work. Sometimes, even if the machine is old, replacing the hard drive gives it a speed boost.
I think they get tired with old age.
Yeah, it's just like any other. The best link is your weakest link (or something along the line).
Most people seem to be obsessed with the speed of CPU. But the point is as long as your computer is working efficiently, it's not all about computing power. For example, most HDDs stuck in 7200 RPM speed and IDEs with 66 MHz or less up until recently. Even if you buy HDD with higher RPM, if your MB doesn't support it, then you won't get the full advantage of it. A friend of mine bought 80 GB UDMA133 HDD and paid about 30 bucks more than the same size with UDMA 100. He told me that the sales man said it's faster so it's better. But the thing is his MB only supports 66 MHz EIDE on his old AMD Athlon K7 box.
So for you, if your HDD is only 100 MHz and 5400 RPM, then it would be much better off buying 7200 RPM drive. Or better yet, go for 10K drives. It used to be 10K drive prices are much higher but not any more.
You're only as fast as your weakest link.
Goes for RAM, Token Ring networks, ethernet networks...
So what hd should I get now. I have upgraded to a mobo that supports sata? I didn't undertand the mhz in a harddrive. I know 7200rpm is about the standard.
Western Digital 250GB SATA/150 for $109 After Rebates
Hitachi 250GB Serial ATA/150 for $99 After Rebate
Seagate 200GB Ultra ATA/100 for $49.99 After Rebate
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160GB 7200 8MB ATA-133 EIDE OEM Hard Drive for $49.99 After Rebate
My recommendation is, if you can afford SATA, go for it. Otherwise, modern EIDE drives are pretty good too.
Yeah, if you can afford it, go for SATA. If not, go for the higest speed your MB will support for your IDE, 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Those MHzs are interface speed (like FSB in MBs) and RPMs are the drive spinning speeds (the faster it spins, the faster it can read and write).
I got a good deal at NewEgg $55 for 80gb SATA 150 8MB cache. I went to Fry's, they are now getting more expensive. Or maybe newegg has really good deals.
[quote author=gmoreno link=board=3;threadid=10648;start=0#msg95666 date=1125080944]
Or maybe newegg has really good deals.
Yeah, thats pretty much it. Screw most stores. I am eternally pissed at Worst Buy. CompUSA is expensive, but at least :
** I get it now
** I get respect, not insults. Proof in point, Linspire box sets. the salesman admitted to not liking Linux, but stated that there are those that do, and this may be a good thing to bring up to those people.
** I got a selection. I got more than crap, and worse crap.
** It gets me out of the house Yes this is important these days. Oddly, the local CompUSA is next door to a really nice grocery store that sells all of the booze I like **AND** decent sushi.
When online, NewEgg is my **Only** choice (sans Crucial). Best prices + Wealth of choice + Quality customer service == Happy bearded fedora wearing BOFH.
[me=Schotty]done now. Out for more coffee then back to work. Yay.[/me]

I tried Kimchi years back, but had forgotten it. As I have grown to love all things spicy and all things fermented, I remembered it. I wanted it. I sought out every grocery store in town to no avail. I forgot.
One day I bought a Nathans hot dog and loaded it up with nothing but spicy mustard and more saurkraut than should be allowed by law. Halfway through that dog it dawned on me. Kimchi is just spicy funky saurkraut!
I still could not find the Kimchi. The Korean government issued a new set of standards for marketing kimchi. They proposed a dualscale.
Kimchi would be rated 1-5 on a scale of spiciness and 1-5 on a scale of fermentedness. My mouth watered, but I could still not find the kimchi.
Recently, on a trip to the town of my birth, I was in a new grocery store with my mother. On a whim I checked out the asian foods section and they had it!
I just wolfed down a hot dog smothered in spicy mustard and kimchi. I have to say that it was without a doubt the best dog that I have ever eaten. This could change the world as we know it!
But this is only the beginning. My kimchi is weak. I'd say about a 1 on the spicy scale and about a 1 on the fermented scale.
I dream of a hot dog so stinky and so spicy that it cannot be prepared or consumed indoors. A hot dog that cannot come within 100 feet of pregnant women. I dream of a hot dog so stinky that it would make French octagenarian cheesemakers cower in the corner. I dream of a hot dog so spicy that the ghosts of Aztec gods wince at the mere smell of it.
Ohhh, I have drooled upon myself.

When Dr. Richard Pan's bill, AB 2019, was debated in a public hearing before California's Senate Committee on Health, Dawn Richardson, Director of Advocacy for the National Vaccination Information Center (NVIC), showed up to explain why she and her organization opposed the bill. If the bill is enacted into law, Richardson says, it will in effect forced mandatory vaccinations onto children even when their parents have decided it's in their best interest to deny them. Under current law, parents may file a "personal belief exemption" which allows their children to attend public school without vaccinations. But under Pan's bill, a doctor must sign off on the parents' decision first, and most of them won't.
The idea is that the government has a vested interest in making sure that the parents are making the right decision, have full and complete information before making that decision, and consequently mandates that parents have that "medical conversation" before filing the exemption. The only problem is that it's difficult to find a doctor that is willing to have that conversation and then sign off on the parents' request. A young couple who remained anonymous in their report to NVIC had an incident not uncommon in the medical profession:

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will help researchers learn more about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma and how it is treated in Kenya. Researchers want to see if having certain viruses like Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpes Virus (KSHV) affects lymphoma. Patients in Kenya who agree to be in this study will let the resesarchers look at their medical record, follow their normal cancer care, and have blood drawn to look at different proteins and viruses. Researchers would also like to look at part of the original tumor that was taken out of each patient. Some of these samples will be stored at Kenyatta National Hospital and research will be done on them later. This study does not involve any change in treatment, but only allows the study team to follow how a patient in Kenya with lymphoma is treated.

Detailed Description:
Comprehensive prospective cohort study of lymphoproliferative diseases in Nairobi, Kenya.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
Patients at Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Inclusion Criteria:
- All subjects regardless of age, sex or HIV serostatus must have biopsy-proven non-Hodgkin's (NHL), including primary effusion lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma (HD) or other lymphoproliferative disorder (e.g., Castleman's disease) with measurable or evaluable stage I through IV disease.
[Note: Lymphomas will be categorized on the basis of current WHO classification scheme, but it is recognized that initial pathological categorization at time of study enrollment will more than likely be classified or graded as low-, intermediate-, or high-grade lymphoma by Working Formulation criteria. This is the current standard of practice in Kenya.]
- All subjects must receive some form of systemic chemotherapy. Subjects not receiving chemotherapy of any kind are not eligible. Subjects must not have had any prior chemotherapy for lymphoma.
- Subjects may have received prior radiotherapy for localized stage I or stage II disease that is clearly documented to have progressed beyond initial radiotherapy ports.
- All subjects must give written informed consent to participate on study. In Kenya, a child is considered < 18 years of age and an adult ≥ 18 years of age. All children will have their parental or legal guardian provide consent.. Children between the ages of 7 and < 18 years old should be given the opportunity to provide their assent. For children between the ages of 7 and 11 years old this should be done using the parental consent form assent statement. For children > 11 years old assent should be documented using the IRB approved assent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who do not fulfill the criteria as listed in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.4 are ineligible.
- Subjects who received prior chemotherapy (i.e., first-line treatment) or are not receiving any chemotherapy for their non-Hodgkin's (NHL) or Hodgkin's lymphoma (HD) are ineligible.

STAR LAKE A leak in the Star Lake water distribution system was repaired late Wednesday afternoon and Clifton-Fine Central School is expected to reopen today.
However, water use is still restricted and a boil-water order remains in effect until further notice.
Were asking everyone to conserve until we get the tanks filled back up, Fine Supervisor Mark C. Hall said.
Crews spent the day excavating to find the leak, which turned out to be near the main, Mr. Hall said.
The leak caused low water pressure, which can allow contaminants into the system.
The boil-water notice remains in effect until results of testing for coliform bacteria is satisfactory from samples collected on two consecutive days.

CANTON The priest who alleged he was swindled by a Norfolk woman of more than $300,000 said hes finally getting some money of his own during Thursdays final day of testimony.
Monsignor Robert L. Lawler finished out the last of the three days of recorded conditional examinations that could be used if the case against Bobbie Jo Zeller goes to trial.
Both Monsignor Lawler and June H. McQueeney, the witness who finished her testimony Wednesday, are suffering from health issues that may prevent them from participating in a trial as early as August, Defense Attorney Brian D. Pilatzke said.
Ms. Zeller, 36, of 72 W. Main St., Apt. 4, Norfolk, faces two counts of second-degree grand larceny, two counts of third-degree grand larceny, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and one count of first-degree scheme to defraud.
During his cross-examination, Mr. Pilatzke asked Monsignor Lawler about his earlier testimony that he scarcely wrote personal checks for cash to himself and when he did, only in small amounts. Normally checks written out to cash were for Ms. Zeller, Monsignor Lawler said.
Mr. Pilatzke referred to several bank statements in which seven checks were made out to cash in amounts ranging from $100 to $350, all written after Jan. 13, 2013, the last date the priest said he helped Ms. Zeller financially.
For the first time, I had restored my pension because I had pledged my statement to the diocese, Monsignor Lawler said.
For three months, Monsignor Lawler told Mr. Pilatzke, he had given his pension checks to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg, from which he had retired in July of last year, to return the money he had borrowed to help Ms. Zeller.
Monsignor Lawler said he had to borrow money from the diocese for Ms. Zellers $503 Walmart bill on Christmas Eve and a $1,700 bill at Aarons Furniture in Massena in January of this year.
I was finally able to have money because I wasnt giving money to Bobbie Jo anymore, Monsignor Lawler said. I was able to write some checks to straighten out my affairs.
Additionally, the priest was asked about a ledger and receipts for money used for prepaid credit cards he kept with the dates he lent money to Ms. Zeller and the amounts on those dates.
Monsignor Lawler had spoken to police in October, January and April, during which he never mentioned the receipts and ledger, Mr. Pilatzke said, contrary to earlier testimony in which the priest said he surrendered the evidence to police.
I remember that I kept a ledger of dates of the money I gave to Bobbie Jo and the receipts for the Green Dot Cards, Monsignor Lawler read from a May 8 deposition he made to state police. So that must have been the date that they got it. Its later than I thought then.
But Monsignor Lawler admitted that Ms. Zeller did pay back some of the funds, though a small amount. Ms. Zeller offered to pay back $1,500 to the priest, but he insisted she return that money to Ms. McQueeney, who lent her more than $15,000.
An Oct. 5 statement showed that a deposit of $250 was made into the priests account. He said he guessed that it came from Ms. Zeller, who did return a few hundred dollars to him, but wasnt certain that it came from her, just that she returned a small amount.
It wasnt a great amount, but every little bit helps, Monsignor Lawler said. It was a one-shot deal. There were no other payments that I can recall. If there was something substantial, I would certainly recall it.

This is a very good vitamin. My doctor prescribed it for me when I was struggling with adrenal fatigue and wants me to continue on it now that I'm pregnant (and afterward). I was taking a chewable prenatal vitamin while I had morning sickness, because I found 6 Optivite tablets a day a bit much too swallow. It's obvious from the labels that Optivite is a much better choice, but I still hate swallowing them, and taking them crushed is even worse. But I've noticed that some of my pregnancy symptoms (like my constant runny nose) have abated since I started taking it.

#Mets GM Sandy Alderson talks about reports & rumors involving Ike Davis
Last night on SNY, Sandy Alderson said he doesn't anticipate any long-term damage from last week's ESPN report, which cited 'a baseball source,' accusing Ike Davis of not taking instruction well and for being out late after games.
Alderson said, "Ike's a valuable part of this team," adding:
"As long as the situation and the relationship is managed internally, I don't think another club two months from now will put a lot of stock on a story written towards the end of the season. … I think what's more important is that we have a good line of communication with the player, make sure the player is confident in us, and that we're being straight with him. The biggest risk is this stuff comes out, and suddenly it's attributed to me or someone else, even though a person isn't named, and it ends up creating a problem in our relationship with the player. I have talked with Ike over the course of the season and somewhat recently, but not since that article. I didn't feel it was necessary to go back and have the same conversation I've had with him before."
In regards to two reports indicating the team might consider trading Davis if comfortable with Lucas Duda at first base, Alderson cited the team's overall lack of power and said, "For us to trade a guy who has 30 home runs, we better know where the next 30 are coming from."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I do believe the organization is worried about Ike's inability to adjust to left-handed pitching this season, which – when coupled with his streakiness, laid back personality and value on the trade market, and given the team's other needs – should make them open to the idea of moving him. However, I don't think they're all sold on Duda either. Yes, as far as I can learn, there were teams – like Oakland – that expressed interest in Davis last winter. So, I'm sure there will be interest again (especially since he's rebounded to hit 30 home runs this season). In either case, right now, today, I'm not sure the Mets are totally sold on a game plan, despite of knowing they have a ton of holes, a limited budget and you have to trade something to get something…
The point is, as I've said before, moves need to be made and every option (short of trading Matt Harvey) should be on the table… and, based on previous reports, and based on what I'm hearing, they are. In other words, prepare yourselves for a lot of these sort of random, vague, suggestive rumors, none of which may come to fruition, but (because the Mets seem to want to explore their options) all of which will probably have a kernel of truth.

No. 6 Mens Soccer Hosts No. 14 Tulsa and Cal Poly to Open Season
Third-year CU head coach Elmar Bolowich leads the Jays in their quest for the program's 21st NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 22 seasons. Bolowich is 38-6-4 after two seasons in Omaha and has led his past five teams to College Cup appearances (North Carolina in 2008, '09 and '10 and Creighton in 2011 and '12).
The Jays return 16 letterwinners and eight starters from last year's team. Four 2012 all-conference selections return for the Jays including juniors Eric Miller and Jose Ribas as well as the sophomore duo of Timo Pitter and Brendan Hines-Ike. The Bluejays welcome 10 newcomers to the squad but lose the services of 2012 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Americans Jose Gomez and Andrew Ribeiro.
CU finished 2012 with a 17-4-3 record, the nation's No. 6 NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) mark, and a No. 4 national ranking from the NSCAA after competing in its second consecutive College Cup as the No. 12 national seed last December. The Jays also won their conference regular-season and tournament titles for a second straight year.
The Jays wrapped up exhibition play with a 1-1 tie against Omaha on Aug. 23. Earlier this month, CU defeated No. 7 Notre Dame 1-0 in its first 2013 exhibition match on Aug. 18.
In 2012, Creighton suffered one of its four losses on the season at Tulsa in a 2-0 setback on Sept. 25. The Bluejays have only met Cal Poly once in program history, a 1-0 victory at Morrison Stadium on Sept. 5, 2009.
Last Week (Exhibition)
8/23: T, 1-1 vs. Omaha – Morrison Stadium
This Week (Regular Season)
8/30: vs. No. 14 Tulsa, 7:30 p.m. CT – Morrison Stadium
9/1: vs. Cal Poly, 7:30 p.m. CT – Morrison Stadium
What's at Stake
Creighton is unbeaten in its last six season-opening matches, going 4-0-2 in those contests; Coach Bolowich is 2-0 in season openers at Creighton. Bolowich also boasts an unblemished combined mark of 3-0-1 over the past two seasons at CU during the first pair of matches to open each year.
Following the Jays
Fans can follow all of the action this weekend by clicking on the live stats and live video (fee required) links at GoCreighton.com.
Scouting the No. 6 Creighton Bluejays (0-0-0)
The Jays return 16 letterwinners and eight starters from last year's team. Four 2012 all-conference selections return for the Jays including Miller, Pitter, junior Jose Ribas and sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike. The Bluejays welcome 10 newcomers to the squad but lose the services of 2012 NSCAA All-Americans Jose Gomez and Andrew Ribeiro.
The last time out one of those newcomers, junior Zabarle Kollie, scored the lone CU goal in a 1-1 draw against Omaha in the Bluejays' final exhibition match of 2013 at Morrison Stadium Aug. 23. Prior to that match, senior Carlos McCrary scored both of Creighton's goals in the 2013 preseason including the game winners in both the Blue-White scrimmage and the Jays' 1-0 exhibition win against No. 7 Notre Dame.
Sophomore Timo Pitter led the team with 24 points, 10 goals and 34 shots on goal during his first season in Omaha. Junior Jose Ribas is the returning assists leader on the squad after posting eight helpers last season.
Redshirt junior goalkeeper Alex Bolowich returns in net for the Jays in 2013. Last season he finished with a 4-3-2 record before bowing out for the season due to an injury suffered during an overtime victory at Princeton on Oct. 9. Bolowich started nine matches and finished the season with a 1.03 goals against average and four shutouts.
Scouting the No. 14 Tulsa Golden Hurricane (0-0-0)
Tulsa won both of its 2013 exhibition matches this fall at home in Hurricane Stadium, knocking off Memphis 3-1 on Aug. 22 before edging Central Arkansas 3-2 on Aug. 24.
The Golden Hurricane is coming off of its eighth NCAA Tournament appearance last season, advancing to the round of 16. The squad finished 14-6-1 overall and 5-2-1 in Conference USA in 2012. Tulsa also won the Conference USA tournament. The Golden Hurricane returns eight starters from 2012 but has little experience in goal after it lost goalkeeper Mark Pais to graduation.
Sophomore Cristian Mata led the team with 34 points, 14 goals and 34 and six assists during his first season in Tulsa. His older brother Omar, a senior for the Golden Hurricane, also tied for the team lead with a half dozen assists.
With the loss of Pais in net from last season Tulsa has turned to senior Cody Mumma, who has played in just two career contests, and freshman Brandon Hanat to guard the goal in the preseason.
The Last Meeting vs. Tulsa
TULSA, Okla. (Sept. 25, 2012) - The 14th-ranked Creighton men's soccer team fell to 5-3-1 on the season with a 2-0 loss at Tulsa on Tuesday.
The win lifted Tulsa to 6-3 on the year, while Creighton suffered its second consecutive loss in 2012. The last time the Jays lost back-to-back matches was in 2010 when the Jays fell to Bradley on Nov. 6 (L, 1-2) and Nov. 12 (L, 2-3).
Tulsa forward Cristian Mata's first goal came in the 56th minute as Bryce Follensbee sent a pass to Mata 10 yards in front of the goal. Mata was able to turn and punch in the shot for his seventh goal of the season. The Jays responded with an offensive push shortly thereafter, firing three shots from the 64th-66th minutes.
The Golden Hurricane took control at that point and finally Mata put the match away with his second goal of the game and eighth of the season in the 85th minute. This one came from 15 yards away, just skimming past the outstretched hands of Creighton keeper, Alex Bolowich.
The Bluejays outshot Tulsa 11-9 in the loss and held a 9-4 edge in corner kicks.
Tulsa's Pais recorded five saves in the win, moving his record to 6-3-0. Bolowich took the loss in goal for the Jays, registering three saves.
Scouting the Cal Poly Mustangs (0-0-0)
Cal Poly did not play in any exhibition matches after starting camp on Aug. 13. The Mustangs will have one game under their belt before arriving in Omaha. Cal Poly visits Drake on Aug. 30 to open the program's 20th season at the Division I level.
The Mustangs were picked to finish third in the four-team Big West north division in the 2013 coaches poll but finished just four points behind rival UCSB for the top spot. Cal Poly finished 11-7-1 overall and 6-3-1 in the Big West in 2012. The Mustangs dropped a 2-0 contest to Cal State Northridge in the conference semifinals. The team returns seven starters from the 2012 campaign.
Cal Poly returns of three All-Big West Conference selections and eight starters from a 2012 squad that matched program records for overall (11) and conference victories (six). The Mustangs are 12-7-0 in Division I season openers and have won four of the previous seven road season openers.
Mustang senior forward Mackenzie Pridham, a member of the Hermann Trophy Watch List and the reigning Big West Offensive Player of the Year selection finished second last season among Big West players in goals (11) and points (23). Cal Poly senior midfielder Mike Hocker is the leading assist man returning this season with five helpers in 2012.
In goal, Cal Poly welcomes back 2012 All-Big West honorable mention selection Wade Hamilton, who finished second among conference players with a .800 save percentage, and a 1.10 goals against average as a true freshman.
The Last Meeting vs. Cal Poly
OMAHA, Neb. (Sept. 5, 2009) – The No. 6 Creighton men's soccer team knocked off No. 23 Cal Poly, 1-0, Saturday night in front of 3,068 at Morrison Stadium. Seth Sinovic's goal in the 81st minute proved to be the difference, as the Bluejays upped their mark to 1-0-1 on the season, dropping the Mustangs to 0-2-0.
In a defensive battle, it was a short corner kick that changed the match and gave the Jays the result. Kris Clark played Creighton's sixth corner kick of the match short to Ethan Finlay to help set up the game's lone tally. Finlay played the ball to Sinovic who blasted a shot from just beyond the top left corner of the 18-yard box for his third career game-winning score.
The Bluejays topped the Mustangs in shots, attempting 13 to Cal Poly's eight, while both sides took six corner kicks in the tightly contested, top-25 match.
Cal Poly only knocked one shot attempt on goal in the match, as CU goalkeeper Brian Holt turned away Tim White's shot in the 67th minute for his only save in the shutout.
California Dreaming
When playing Cal Poly, Creighton will look to improve upon its 15-0-3 record against California-based schools in its last 18 meetings. The Jays won both matches against teams from the Sunshine State in 2012 defeating both Santa Clara and Saint Mary's by 1-0 margins. Creighton's last loss to a team from California came on Sept. 7, 2003 a 2-1,2OT loss at Loyola Marymount.
Starting the Season Off Right
• Creighton is unbeaten in its last six season-opening matches, going 4-0-2 in those contests.
• Creighton has allowed one total goal to its last four season-opening opponents. Northern Illinois scored the lone goal last year after three years of shutouts.
BIG EAST Preseason Honors
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected No. 6 Creighton to place second in the 2013 preseason poll the behind fellow 2012 College Cup participant, No. 3 Georgetown.
CU junior Eric Miller and sophomore Timo Pitter were also named to the preseason All‐BIG EAST Team.

(Sports Network) - The Memphis Grizzlies look to stay on track when they invade the Forest City Friday night in a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Grizzlies have won two in a row and 10 of their last 11 games, including Wednesday's 91-85 victory versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Marc Gasol scored 23 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, while Mike Conley added 20 points and six assists for the Grizzlies.
Jerryd Bayless had 13 points off the bench in the win. Memphis rallied from a 17-point deficit in the third quarter.
"(Not every team is) going to lose leads like that, but that just shows the character of our team. We are grinders. We all play together and play hard for 48 minutes," Memphis guard Tony Allen said. "We come back and rally and get the win, but we can't keep doing that."
Zach Randolph (ankle) and Darrell Arthur (neck/back) did not play versus the Blazers and are both listed as day-to-day.
The Grizzlies are fourth in the West standings and 16-11 on the road.
Cleveland will close out a five-game homestand Friday and halted a two-game slide with a 104-101 win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night.
Kyrie Irving scored 11 of his team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter and also collected 10 assists and seven rebounds. The Cavs went on a 12-1 run in the last few minutes to pull out the victory.
Wayne Ellington finished with 16 points and six rebounds, while Tristan Thompson chipped in 16 points and 12 boards for the Cavs, who have won five of their last eight games.
"We got lucky. That was a gift, basically," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "With 15 minutes left, I told them, 'Right now, you're showing no interest in this game. You better start playing because you've still got a chance to win.'"
The Cavs are 2-2 on the homestand and 12-18 at Quicken Loans Arena.
Rookie Dion Waiters (flu) and Daniel Gibson (flu) both missed the game and are questionable versus Memphis. Irving (knee) is also questionable.
Cleveland dropped an 84-78 decision at Memphis back on Nov. 26 this season and has lost three in a row in this series. The Cavaliers are still 11-5 in the previous 16 meetings between the teams.
The Cavs are unbeaten in seven straight matchups at home versus Memphis, which has lost 13 of the 15 contests played in Cleveland.
