UK chip designer ARM has released details of its new ARMv8 architecture, which for the first time will support 64-bit processing.
This is a strategic move fromCambridge-based ARM that will see it take on chip giants Intel and AMD, both of which are dominant in the 64-bit market.
The adoption of 64-bit design will enable ARM to support larger devices, such as servers, whereas its focus until now has been on the mobile market, which utilises 32-bit chips.
"ARM's designs pretty much rule the mobile world now and they are in most smartphones and tablets," said Michael Azoff, analyst at Ovum.
"With this 64-bit announcement it is attempting to move on up into bigger devices and take on the established players," he added.
"Operating systems now commonly run on 64-bit based servers, as these allow better access to memory and have higher bandwidth."
Azoff suggests that this announcement points to deals being done with Apple and Microsoft. "By entering the 64-bit market, ARM is essentially revealing its closed talks with these big players," said Azoff.
"Windows 8 is a 64-bit operating system and Microsoft will essentially support not only Intel, but ARM as well. It has also got an agreement with Apple, where it is going to replace Intel with ARM chips," he added.
ARM has been successful in the mobile market because its current 32-bit chips are far more efficient on power consumption than those offered by Intel or AMD.
Azoff suggests that if ARM was to replicate this in 64-bit chips, then Intel and AMD will be forced to up their game to compete effectively.
"ARM has ruled the roost on mobile devices because it is very good on power consumption," he said.
"For Intel and AMD that's the challenge – to compete on a like-for-like basis," he added.
"I expect this will happen. It's not going to be ARM all the way, the competition will be there. Also, from Microsoft's point of view, they aren't going to just abandon Intel".
Microsoft also expressed support for ARM's announcement by branding it a "significant development".
"ARM is an important partner for Microsoft. We look forward to witnessing this technology's potential to enhance future ARM-based solutions," said KD Hallman, general manager, Microsoft.

Paying Homage to Will and Grace
At the St. Clair County Humane Society in Port Huron, Michigan, volunteers have helped make all the difference for Will the poodle, Grace the calico, and so many other animals who come through shelter doors. At a volunteer recognition dinner, the organization's treasurer, Cynthia Bostwick, paid tribute to their efforts with this speech.
I want to tell you two shelter stories. I want to tell you about Will and Grace.
|When Will the poodle was found, he was covered in fleas, saddled by a collar that had grown into his neck, and barely able to see past his matted bangs.
Will was found wandering along the highway by one of our board members. He was a white poodle with huge black eyes, a fine leather nose, tons of fleas, and a neck that was rotting from his ingrown collar despite severe undernourishment. Unaltered, of course, Will was probably someone's puppy mill stud.
The person who found Will instantly decided to take him to the shelter. At the shelter, Will was welcomed, washed, and treated thanks to each of you seated here; as you know, we raise all of our operating funds through volunteer activities and contributions. Will received his vaccines because you worked at the Pawzaar and raised the money to pay for them. He was housetrained by staff because you worked the art fair and encouraged a passerby to purchase a sweatshirt. He was neutered and his wounds were treated because you stood smiling in the rain to raise $8,800 at the Mutt March. He was able to stay at the shelter because you took him out of his cage regularly to socialize him, walk him, and help him get some fresh air.
And finally, Will's adoptive family found him on Petfinder because you helped us pay for the electricity that keeps the computer running. Now Will lives in comfort with two adults and a child.
Grace was also found outside; she was one of a colony of abandoned cats. She is a domestic short-haired, lush, bright calico with a pumpkin face: a black triangle outlines her prominent nose. Her original human was a misguided man who kept her and her unaltered progeny in his small apartment in Port Huron. By the time he'd been evicted by his landlord after fleas and the smell of urine had driven a neighboring tenant away, there were three generations of cats living in the apartment, and Grace was pregnant again.
A volunteer first spotted the cats—seven of them, ranging in age from 6 to 18 months—on a bike ride downtown. You see, the owner had left them behind, and the landlord had shooed all the cats outside. They were hanging around the rooftop entrance to their former home, lying on the fire escape, and scrounging in the downtown dumpsters for food.
The volunteer came back to the site with some food and water. She contacted the owner of the building, who had placed an unattended live trap under the fire escape. She found out that his plan was to "trap the cats, take them out to the country, and let them go."
The volunteer patiently tried to educate the landlord. She offered to help trap and take the cats to the Humane Society.
"They just kill them there, don't they?" he asked.
She patiently explained that dropping them off in the country was a death warrant, and that, yes, sometimes the animals are humanely killed if they can't be placed or if they're injured. The landlord said he hadn't thought about the problems his methods were causing, and agreed to let the cats be trapped and taken to the Humane Society.
The trapping process began. Grace was easy; she was pretty socialized and not difficult to handle. She and one of her youngest kittens were the first ones to come to the shelter.
Grace was immediately spayed to prevent the birth of more kittens; the shelter was able to do this because you worked at the garage sale for 10 long hours, setting up and sorting and selling. Grace was vaccinated because you had made knitted items to raise money for shelter programs. And the shelter had enough money to test for feline leukemia because you had brought your better stuff to be sold at the Pawzaar.
Unfortunately, Grace's kittens tested positive. The next three cats from the colony were also FeLV-positive. Using the accepted protocol for colonies of feral and abandoned cats, we made the decision that the two remaining members were likely to be infected or to be carriers. But because you encouraged our executive director with a kind word or a check for the coffers or a Christmas gift, because you were there when she just needed some help, she was able to keep her spirits up as she did the hardest job of all: euthanizing the kitten and the five remaining cats as they were trapped and brought to her over the next six weeks.
Neither the landlord nor the tenant ever helped with the cats at all, nor have they made a donation to cover the expenses. All of that—the moral support, the work of trapping, and the cold cash—came from your hard work over the past year.
Grace was adopted from the shelter by a wonderful couple in Avoca, who sent a photo at Christmas time. When she's not sleeping on Mary and Al's bed, Grace sleeps on a pet bed purchased at the Pawzaar.
|Grace the calico kitty and Will the poodle, two of the millions of animals helped by shelter volunteers every year, are now happy in their new homes.
The stories of Will and Grace are true. Without your work, these animals would not have survived. Without your aching backs, smiling faces, willing hands and spirits, without your generous donations of time, talent, and cash, Will and Grace would be dead. Eight to ten million animals enter U.S. shelters each year, and only about half of them are lucky enough to be adopted. You directly saved Will and Grace—and more than 200 others like them this year just in our shelter alone.
And you multiply that number many times over, because your efforts not only help the shelter directly but also support the incredible education efforts of our volunteer humane educators Tom and Gerry, taking the humane message to thousands of schoolkids every year. Your efforts support the printing and mailing of our newsletter, which takes humane education to thousands of readers four times a year. And finally, your efforts also tirelessly support the animals who share your own homes. Even though you're dog-tired after standing all day in the hot sun at the art fair for the Humane Society, when those tails wag or those throats purr in friendly greeting, you squat down to pet them and thank them for gracing your lives. And even though your own feet ache, you feed them, play with them, love them. The contribution you make to our community by being compassionate, loving companions to your own animals is pure gold.
You all share a special bond with the animals of the world. It's a calling to volunteer the way you do. We never can thank you enough. So please accept the stories of Will and Grace as a token of our gratitude, a living testament to your efforts, the proof that your good works bear life in our community. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your determined wills and your passion and your compassionate grace on behalf of all the animals.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month a treaty was signed to discontinue the violence on the Western Front of World War I; the birth of Armistice Day.
While Armistice Day is still celebrated in some countries in Europe, the United States began honoring all veterans, living and dead, in 1945, the birth of Veterans Day.
As someone who lived through the Vietnam War, and the nightly body counts on the nightly news broadcast, I was more than happy to see the end of the draft in this country. I sat across the table from a classmate whose birthdate had come up in the draft. Yes, that's how things worked back then. Many years later, a co-worker told me that he was arrested for a drug offense and was given the choice between doing time or serving his country in the war as a soldier. Yes, that's how things worked back then.
Since the end of the draft, the United States has relied on a volunteer soldier, but many times the volunteer has come from a less than desirable socio-economic standing. In other words, it has been our brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends who have been become cannon fodder for this country. For whatever reason, the children of the elite have been protected from serving in this country's armed forces.
We, as a country have also relied on "Citizen Soldiers", also known as the National Guard, to defend this country against our enemies. People who have families, homes, and businesses who set their personal priorities aside to defend this country against enemies, known and unknown.
We are grateful for every soldier who placed their duty above their own personal safety. We are proud of the 43 Latinos who have been awarded this country's highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. People who have gone above and beyond.
On this Veterans Day, we ask you to remember and honor those who have placed themselves in harm's way to ensure that your safety is protected. A child who was at a recent Veterans Day ceremony said, "This is the freedomest country ever", may we all have the spirit of that child within us.
Being Latino invites you to comment with the names of your personal soldiers on this post.

Areas in and around Wetumpka, Eclectic, Tallassee, Santuck, Holtville and Slapout reported either trees or power lines that were down. Jones said any debri that had fallen on roadways was cleared up.
Mike Jordan, spokesman for Alabama Power, said crews are currently working on about 450 power outages in the county. He said they estimate power to be restored aroudn 6:30 p.m.

SANTA FE >> Attorney General Gary King is asking the New Mexico Supreme Court for permission to intervene in a lawsuit on behalf of a disabled veteran who was fired by the state after serving two tours in Iraq.
King, a Democrat who is running against Gov. Susana Martinez, says the state should have already settled the case in favor of the veteran.
In 2009, a jury in Gallup award $100,000 to Phillip Ramirez, a National Guard serviceman with post-traumatic stress disorder who claimed his firing from the New Mexico Children, Youth and Family Department violated the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. The act requires employers to accommodate veterans' disabilities.
Ramirez says his PTSD caused him problems at work while his supervisors added additional goals he found impossible to meet, and that's when he was fired for what managers called insubordination.
The state agency appealed the case, and it was reversed by the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
King called the agency's actions an affront to all New Mexico veterans.
"What has happened to Mr. Ramirez is so wrong on so many levels," he said in a statement. "How can anybody look a veteran in the eye and say, 'We've got your back soldier?' The state, as an employer, should give the same consideration to returning veterans as all private employers are required to do by federal law."
Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell questioned King's sudden interest in the case.
"This man was fired twice by the Richardson administration for insubordination and not showing up to work for long periods of time, first in 2008 and then again in 2010, and it's fascinating that Gary King said nothing for six years and, just as his campaign is floundering, he suddenly gets involved," Knelll said in an email.
The family agency is claiming state sovereign immunity from lawsuits under the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Ramirez's attorney, Rosario Vega Lynn, said the case is among several similar lawsuits against three separate state agencies that are being sued for military civil rights violations.
"All three agencies have attempted to assert immunity and we know none of them sought the AG's opinion about it," Lynn said. "So they are all either grossly exceeding their authority, or they are acting on the orders of the governor or at the very least, with the approval of the governor."

08.08.13 -- July's Top 5: Featuring Yum! Brands, bebe, And Northern Tool And Equipment
August 2013
Digital Edition
When entrepreneurs launch a business, the most plentiful resource they typically have on hand is unsolicited advice. I know from experience that the majority of this advice goes unheeded. Perhaps it's remembered, but it's usually forced by the spirit of the entrepreneurial ego into the "does not apply to me, I have this figured out" file.
For start-up retailers and established retail businesses alike, much of the unsolicited advice you receive is no doubt IT/operations-related, and you should trust your gut that most of it's bad. You should fire all your cashiers, rip out all your POS lanes, and install self-checkout. You should hire all your cashiers back, rip out all your self-checkout lanes, and buy iPads for the POS. You should abandon brick-and-mortar retailing altogether. Let it all ride on the Internet.

UHV signs 3 baseball players
Pitcher Trent Carouthers is a transfer from Hinds Community College in Rankin, Mississippi. As a freshman, Carouthers went 3-0 and struck out 22 batters in 24 innings. The Richmond, Texas native played high school ball at Richmond Foster and Jaguars head coach Terry Puhl expects Carouthers to be a work horse.
"Trent is a hard thrower who should log a lot of innings for us," Puhl said. "He is very competitive and intelligent and has tremendous upside."
Catcher Robert Peterson played the past two seasons at El Paso Junior College.
In 110 career games at El Paso, The Houston Christian graduate, batted .312 with 17 doubles, 3 triples, 10 home runs and 76 runs batted in. Defensively, Peterson threw out 44 % of would be base stealers.
"Peterson is a defensively sound catcher and has demonstrated some power," Puhl said. "I like his experience hitting in the middle of the order."
Wharton County Junior College outfielder John West is a native of Kingwood, Texas and a graduate of NE Christian Academy. West brings power and potential to the Jaguars.
"John is strong and can drive the ball out of the park," said Puhl. "I look to make him a better outfield and hitter."
The Jaguars' inaugural baseball season begins in February 2008.

A bit of advice if any plumbers out there.
I have a solid fuel stove with a wrap around boiler. The boiler uses 1" copper and has 2 in's and two out's. The first circuit goes to the hot water tank and the second to the rads. There is a pump on the in from the rads and a stat on the out to the hot water tank.
Basically this means that the hot water tank is heated by convection and the rads are run by pump.
My question.
Would the stat be better on the out to the rads, as this cools down much more quickly than the out to the tank.

Cancer survivors and supporters gathered Friday evening and stayed into early Saturday morning at the Castle Heights Track in Lebanon. But for Halliburton, it all began when he found a knot in his throat in 2010. Surgeries, chemotherapy and recovery in a nursing home soon followed, but not everyone is as fortunate.
More than 35,000 Tennesseans shared the experience of living with cancer in 2012, according to the American Cancer Society. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S., behind heart disease.
More than 75 survivors were among the large crowd gathered to celebrate the lives of those affected by cancer. The Relay For Life featured survivor and caregiver laps, in which survivors, their friends, family and neighbors walked in support of one another.
Luminary lanterns lined the loose, black-gravel track illuminating cancer victims' names. Torches donned with purple ribbons and metal nameplates were displayed at the beginning of the track, among other decorated lanterns that spelled out "HOPE," in a hope garden.
As the sun set, the lanterns and torches were lit in a luminary ceremony, creating a trail of light that burned throughout the night.
One of those victims, Debbie Harper, was honored by her son, Dustin Gibbs. "Last year I lost her to lung cancer," Gibbs said, "It's been pretty heartbreaking and heart wrenching to be here."
Gibbs reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, sliver heart-shaped locket, displaying it proudly.
"I hold this little locket with my mom's ashes in it, and it reminds me every day that she's always with me," Gibbs said.
Although the memories of those lost had a prominent role in the gathering, the represented Wilson County communities wanted the night to be one of camaraderie and joy. Laughter and smiles were shared along with stories of hope and love.
A variety of events took place throughout the night, including a children's triathlon, a live auction and a performance by the Evermean Evergreen Cloggers.
More than $57,000 was raised toward the $100,000 goal, which will be donated to the American Cancer Society to continue the fight against the disease.
More information about cancer and the community of supporters can be found at cancer.org or relayforlife.org.

Juan Pablo Is Really Set on Sticking It to The Bachelor
As we learned during Monday's finale of The Bachelor, Juan Pablo might like Nikki "a lot," he just didn't want to give Chris Harrison and American the satisfaction of knowing that he loved her. But as his social media presence and a sickeningly sweet YouTube video posted Wednesday prove, he really, really does. »

This blog entry is a typical homeschooling "rabbit trail" story.
In the past when I have read books about homeschooling, specifically the type where a family tells their own story, there are tales of rabbit trails. I don't think that all homeschooling families follow rabbit trails. Some rabbit trails seem more academic than others, on the surface. Of those who do, a common challenge is knowing when to stop and when to get back on the main path. Rabbit trails are a major source of the studies for unschooling families. Rabbit trails can be fun and you never know where they will lead or if they will quickly become dead ends. I like to follow rabbit trails and am not disappointed when they end or hit a dead end. If the rabbit trail keeps going and it is not taking over our lives, meaning it is not hindering other studies over the long term then I think it is a healthy thing to experience. Rabbit trails can't really be planned, they begin spontaneously but following the trail can take effort and work or planning.
Our Current Rabbit Trail: The Phantom of the Opera
Background Info
To explain what one is, if you don't know, read this story and you will understand.
In 1993 I went to Chicago with an architecture class from college. We were studying the architecture by being in it and around it. We did a bit of research before we went on the trip. We each had to give presentations on certain Chicago history and landmarks. We also had to write a long research paper. We then walked miles and miles around Chicago, stopping to view certain buildings. Some lectures were given by students and other times the teacher (an architect) would educate us about the buildings.
While in Chicago we visited the Opera House. We were offered student discount tickets to see the show that night, which happened to be Phantom of the Opera. A friend and I decided to go. She had brought dresses and we decided to dress in very nice dresses. I borrowed her dress and shoes and we even wore gloves. We had some champagne before the show and went off to see it. We were both overcome by the emotions of the story and were teary-eyed as we watched it.
When I got home I purchased the soundtrack from the London version of the musical. I listened to this over and over.
I read the novel in 1994 or 1995 and it was interesting to see how the book and musical were different. I turned the book in to a used book store for credit when I was done. (I now regret that decision.)
I chose one of the songs as my wedding song a couple of years later—"All I Ask of You". The fact that the main female character's name is the same as mine and is mentioned in the song is a pure coincidence.
In 1997 while very pregnant I got to see the New York production of the show, a guest of a salesperson whom my husband did business with. This was my last nice night on the town before I became a mother. My chapter with Phantom closed at that point.
When my older son was four I took out the soundtrack and tried listening to it in the car. My son was scared when he heard the powerful organ music so I was unable to hear it.
Three years ago, I found a children's picture book abridged version of the story in a used book store. I bought it. My older son was five at the time and looked at the pictures. He was afraid of them. He begged me to read the long story to him. I shortened it up. The pictures still scared him, and I had to hide the book as a result.
In 2003 I found a great book about the story of the musical with photographs at a library sale. I bought it and put it away. (Yesterday I was unable to find it, it is stored in a box with other books which I don't have room for on my bookshelves!)
Now About The Movie
A month ago my friend told me that the musical was closing on Broadway and she wanted me to go see it with her. She remembered that I loved Phantom in the past. I agreed to go. We made plans to buy tickets at a discount. I could not believe the show was closing. (I now was told it is not really closing.)
A couple of days later my friend and neighbor said she had watched the movie version. Honestly I knew a movie was being made but I am so out of the loop with movies and what is going on in Hollywood that I didn't know it had already come out. I would have loved to see this on the big screen. Anyway my friend said she borrowed the movie from our town library. I decided to watch the movie. I picked a day that I was very sick with a head cold and could not do my usual homeschooling routine with the kids. I was so sick I just wanted to lie in bed all day and rest. I decided to watch the movie.
I had a challenge though, as the kids were home. I decided to let them watch it if they wanted to. They watched the movie with me. I paused the movie to explain certain parts to them as the story unfolded. Honestly I didn't recall the scene where the man is hanged or I may have not wanted them to see it. They both loved the movie and the haunting music. Unfortunately the library's copy did not come with the second bonus material disc. I would love to own the DVD with the bonus material. I love to hear and learn the background information, as do my children.
I took out my muscial soundtrack from the London cast, from 1987, and we have been listening to it while in the house and while driving in the car. Each child has their favorite tracks. They are quoting the songs and singing them out loud throughout the day. They are also asking the meaning of certain lines such as, "Spare me these unending trials!" We own the 2 CD set which has more tracks on it than the 'highlights' audio CD.
Yesterday I borrowed the movie again. I'd like to watch it again. If they want to see it with me, they can. (Postscript: We were too busy to watch it again and had to return it. I really want to buy it so we can have it here to view at our leisure!)
I thought I had remembered buying the book about the musical. I checked my bookshelf with books about music and operas, and it was not there. I checked my book database on the computer and found all the information about the book. I looked in a box of music books that I have stored in a closet and it was not there. I am perplexed as to where this book is. I did find the children's book about the story in there and took it out.
I showed the book to my kids. They begged for me to read it aloud, which I did yesterday.
We have been discussing how the movie is different from the children's book. I explain to them how something like a musical or a movie which is adapted from a book has changes in it. One example is that the crashing down of the chandelier is very different in the musical (and original book) than in the movie. We also discussed how the special effects are different for the movie vs. the stage production.
Now if I really want to go crazy I could turn this into a unit study in which we study Paris, France at the time period that the story took place.
My husband asked if I should change plans for seeing the musical to include taking my older son. The tickets are already purchased and it is too late for that. However we decided that when he gets a job, all four of us will go see the show together. I was wondering if my five year old would sit still during the show. I now think that it would be so captivating, especially if he knows the songs and the storyline, that he would be fine.
I also checked our library to see if they had audio recordings of musicals other than the London production; they did not. I am going to check larger libraries in the area. I'd like to hear how different singers sound and if they changed the story around at all (as was the case with a few things in different productions of "Les Miserables").
Should Children Be Exposed to Phantom?
I am sure that some parents would think that exposing children to this story is over the top and that the story is too mature for them. I beg to differ. This a classic tragic hero story, and it is just a great story. The music is wonderful and inspiring. I would not have shown this to my children if my oldest was five, but since my younger son is five, he sees it along with the older child.
We also discussed the larger issues in the story such as the way society treats a person who has a deformity. We also discussed the sins such as the murders that took place in the movie.
This is a constant challenge—figuring age appropriate material when there is more than one child in the family. A couple of people have told me that they tailor their family's experiences to the youngest aged child, I think that by doing this the older child misses out on a lot and in the very least would miss out on what other children his age are currently doing such as reading Harry Potter books or other things like that. As it is my older child is still happy to sit and watch Barney which is pretty surprising considering my younger son is already saying, "That is a baby show". I don't know where kids get these ideas from but it really is a show tailored to children aged four and younger, so I can't argue with him as it is the truth!
Mainstream parents are showing children of this age (8 and younger), television shows and movies which have what I consider to be inappropriate content: shows with rude behavior glamorized, where children backtalk adults, where adults are portrayed as stupid and the children 'cool'. So many shows are lacking morals, or are glamorizing things such as breaking rules or breaking the law. Many shows contain sexual innuendo or are pushing sexual topics down to characters who are too young to be experiencing it. One example: The Suite Life with Cody and Zack on the Disney channel is about two eight year old's and they talk about and tease each other for not having dates. Some children this age are routinely shown movies with a PG or PG-13 rating, and some I know even see R-rated movies. One family I know showed the Spiderman PG-13 movie that contained a bloody murder scene to children aged 3.5 and 5 and then followed up with a Spiderman themed birthday party for the 4th birthday party. They later purchased the DVD for home viewing and it has been watched repeatedly by the children. Now that, I think, is inappropriate. Some children listen to music on the radio which is filled with sexual references, and some own music CDs which are purchased by the parents which contain mature themes and even profanity!
I am happy to share "The Phantom of the Opera" with my sons. We are having a ball with it!

Nadia Lee Cohen's Erotic Retro DaydreamErotica // Friday, February 13, 2015
Although only 22 years old and still in her final year at the London College of Fashion, fashion photographer and "ugly-pretty" connaisseur Nadia Lee Cohen has nonetheless already received numerous noteworthy accolades for her highly stylized, retro-saturated images inspired by the darker side of 1960's Americana. Cohen builds her own sets on a shoestring student budget, which is a testament to her skill as her photoshoots never fail to look beautifully polished and conceptually compelling.

Nadia Lee Cohen is a 22-year-old London-based photographer currently going for a BA in photography at the London College of Fashion. Eye-popping and delightful, Cohen's photographs channel motifs of Americana and Britain from the 1950s, 60s and 70s; melodramatic hair and make-up, saturated colors, and the characters to fit.

With feelings of anxiety, confusion, and in some cases outrage, a nation awaits its next challenge in Olympic men's ice hockey – a Sunday night border clash with Team USA.
But more to the point, it's having a lot of difficulty getting over its last game.
An elite entry on the world stage – based upon an NHL payroll that would far exceed $100 million – Canada quickly morphed itself into just another "Leaf" team if you were to believe those who voiced their concerns on Leafs Lunch on AM640 in Toronto.
"These guys should be embarrassed."
"Why is Chris Pronger on this team? Get rid of him!"
"Can't anyone run the power play?"
"This defense is brutal!"
So much for the feel good aspects coming out of game one.
Overreaction of course is part of the fun of being in this business – whether you're hearing it, or playing the role yourself. But amidst the latest Canadian storm, some points of interest emerged.
One fan was really taken aback by seeing a number of Canadian players smiling, almost joking on the bench as they waited for the shootout. His belief being you would never have seen this on international championship teams from the 70's or 80's.
It's hard to corroborate that without going through hours (or days) of footage.
The counterargument would be that despite choking against the Swiss in 2006, this group remained calm, managed to breathe, and found a way to win.
But nobody wants to hear that, do they?
Many were in agreement, and properly so, that this game was just flat-out exciting. An intense competition level met by both sides, in a game in which Switzerland really wanted to beat Canada.
It's what they came here to do.
It's what everyone is here to do.
We offered up a poll question on 640Toronto.com that asked "What country provides the greatest rivalry for Canada in hockey?"
Predictably, Russia led the way at just under 50 percent, while the U.S. was second at just shy of 40 percent.
A more telling question, if asked in every other country participating in the tournament, would be "If your team could win only one game in the Olympics, who would you want them to beat?"
Geography, history, and politics would take a backseat for many and Canada would easily emerge as the popular choice.
And that's the point.
If it doesn't, we can refer you back to 2006. Or the 50 years prior to 2002.
Who are the contenders? -- Anyone that watched the action on Thursday would have had a very difficult time ranking the "contenders."
Through 54 minutes, the Americans had a less than convincing 3-1 lead on Norway.
Canada coughed up a 2-0 lead to Switzerland.
And Russia – for all the hype – couldn't beat a banged up Slovak squad that was playing on back-to-back nights.
Of course, Sweden had a narrow win over Germany Wednesday and then a third-period scare from Belarus Friday.
So where do they all stand heading into Sunday?
Hall of Fame defenseman, and NHL Network analyst Denis Potvin joined Scott Laughlin and myself on The Power Play (XM 204, Sirius 208, NHL Network) and felt that in his eyes, Finland was the most well-rounded of the elite. The four-time Cup winner cited their 5-man play as their biggest strength. And that was before a second impressive win, this time 5-0 over Germany.
We'll keep his assessment top of mind as Finland, and the tournament moves towards the medal round.

(TODAY.com) -- With more than 52,000 properties, the U.S. hotel industry is a
veritable job-creating behemoth that employs roughly 1.8 million people.
That's a lot of cooks, waiters and housekeepers - and, apparently, the
occasional duckmaster, guacamologist or proposal coach.
Yes, such
jobs actually exist. For hotels, they provide an opportunity to forge a
unique reputation; for guests, they add a touch of humor or personality
to what is often a cookie-cutter experience. And for hospitality-job
seekers, the following positions certainly beat washing dishes and
scrubbing toilets:
Dog Surfing Instructor - Loews Coronado Bay Resort
Surfing: it's not just for humans anymore - at least not at this San
Diego hotel where Fifi and Fido can enjoy their very own surf lessons
courtesy of, yes, a resident dog surfing instructor.
"Surfing is
all about balance," said Teevan McManus, owner of Coronado Surfing
Academy, who manages the canine classes. "A low center of gravity helps
but if a dog's comfortable in the water, they can usually surf."
help them hang 20, McManus starts his students out on the beach, has
them progress to shallow water and eventually launches them into the
waves. Owners are welcome to participate but when it's time to ride,
it's strictly a solo deal.
"It's like people,"
said McManus. "Some take right to it, some don't. As it would have it,
dogs are often the better surfers."
Duckmaster - The Peabody Memphis
his brass-headed duck cane and scarlet-and-gold-trimmed jacket, it's
hard to miss Anthony Petrina. Then again, maybe that's because he's most
often seen leading The Peabody's twice-daily duck marches, an 80-year
tradition in which the hotel's resident ducks make their way from their
rooftop coop, along a red carpet and into a lobby fountain.
Duckmaster, Petrina is responsible for all aspects of the ducks' care,
including feeding, training and protection. Previously, he worked in the
hotel's Capriccio Grill but when the previous Duckmaster retired two
years ago, the "solid career path" he was on flew out the window.
Duckmaster) was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said, which,
alas, doesn't bode well for others hoping to succeed him. "The first
Duckmaster did it for 50 years so I have 48 to go."
Although it's not a U.S. hotel, this Canadian hotel is a popular
way-station for Americans returning from the posh fishing lodges of
British Columbia. Not surprisingly, perhaps, some of those guests check
in with rather large, potentially odiferous "souvenirs."
Harvey Makasa, the hotel's resident fish valet, who relieves those
guests of their salmonid burdens, stores them in a 575-cubic-foot
freezer and retrieves them when it's time to check out. Along the way,
he'll typically inquire as to the size of the fish, information that is
entered into the hotel's Biggest Catch contest. Come fall, the winner
will receive a free two-night stay at any Fairmont hotel in North
America (except, alas, The Plaza).
Guacamologist - The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas
Can you select an avocado at the peak of freshness? Do you understand
the subtle interplay of salt, lime and roasted garlic? Can you share
your knowledge with hungry guests on a daily basis and, when
appropriate, help them create their own culinary delights?
If so,
then you may have what it takes to be a guacamologist like Todd Sabo at
The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, who hosts a daily guacamole-making
presentation in the lobby. Participants can learn the secrets of great
guacamole, taste the results along with mini-margaritas and, with
advance notice, don an apron and be a guest guacamologist for a day.
requisite culinary background isn't incredibly in-depth," said Sabo.
"You just have to love your avocados and love talking about them."
Proposal Coach - Stowe Mountain Lodge
As a longtime wedding planner, Calais Van Horn has seen her share of
predictable proposal scenarios - hide the ring in the dessert, drop it
in the champagne flute, etc. - so two years ago, she made a proposal of
her own: Rather than be an after-the-fact facilitator, why not help
romance-challenged suitors from the get-go by providing a more
personalized experience?
Since then, she and fellow proposal
coach, Gabrielle Lungo, have helped arrange proposals ranging from a
late-night snowmobile tour with a pre-arranged "breakdown" to a
golf-themed effort in which the groom reached into the hole on the 18th
green and pulled out, not his golf ball, but a ring.
"This is a really romantic place," said Van Horn, "and some of these guys just need a little help."
Sunglass Doctor - Four Seasons Resort Lanai
Picture this: You're sitting poolside and you suddenly notice a loose
screw on your Gucci sunglasses or that your Serengitis have gotten
badly smudged. That's no problem at the Four Seasons Resort at Manele
Bay, where a staffmember named Dr. Shades is on duty to clean lenses,
tighten screws and otherwise ensure guests' eyewear crises are resolved.
find him poolside 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - he's the one with the Dr. Shades
shirt, apron/tool belt and medical bag - unless, that is, he's dealing
with a more serious issue that requires his attention elsewhere. Not to
worry, though, since the good doctor always has loaner pairs on hand.
Tequila Butler - The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain
If your vision of a butler is a stuffy manservant who draws baths and
fluffs pillows, you've never met Richard Gutierrez, the official
Tequila Butler at this resort outside Tucson. Most days you'll find him
pushing his cart poolside, offering free samples of tequila concoctions
and expounding on the subtleties of reposado, añejo and the like.
to Gutierrez, the key to being a successful tequila butler is
three-fold: You have to enjoy interacting with guests, you need to be
able to handle the occasional inebriated guest and "you have to be
really interested in tequila."
Swimming while intoxicated (SWI?) incidents aside, all we can say is where do we apply?

Brandon Gorin warms up before his New England Patriots take on the Indianapolis Colts in 2003. / The Indianapolis Star
Richie Lewis is interviewed after pitching for Florida State in a game in the 1980s. / Photo courtesy Florida State University
South's Ty'Ronda Benning drives to the hoop in a game against Delta in 2006. / The Star Press
Going into his freshman year of high school in 1980, Richie Lewis had a problem.
Lewiss father, Larry Lewis, was the coach of a burgeoning Southside baseball program that had claimed several sectional titles in the late 1970s. Richie Lewis was himself an aspiring baseball player, who had gone to all of his dads practices since elementary school, so it only followed he should play for his father with the Rebels.
If only it were so easy.
See, the Lewis family lived by Prairie Creek Reservoir, which put him squarely in Wapahanis district. So what could a young man do to take his place in his fathers program?
He moved.
I literally had to move in with my grandparents, said Richie Lewis, who now runs a baseball academy and gives lessons in Florida. We had a real close family fortunately. My grandparents only lived less than five minutes from the school to begin with, so the commute wasnt an issue.
They loved the fact they got to see me more often.
MORE: REMEMBER THE REBELS: Our lists of the top 10 boys and top 10 girls Southside athletes of all-time, what drove the Rebel coaches, that rivalry with Central, the state championships and more!
And dont think this was some ploy of giving someone elses address to get to a desired school.
He had his own room at his grandparents house. Coming home late and tired from football, basketball or baseball, he rarely even had weeknight dinners at his parents home, with them instead coming to his grandparents place. Hed even have to pack clothes when he visited his parents on the weekend.
At the time, recruiting was a hot topic on the basketball front in Muncie, and Richie Lewis said more than a few times someone came by to check if he really lived where he said he did.
And while the arrangement was a tad unusual, it meant Richie Lewis could play for his father and gave Southside one of the finest athletes to pass through its doors.
In three of his four seasons, the Rebels claimed a sectional title. He pitched with next-level velocity and played second base on off days because the throw was shorter than from short (an arm only has so many bullets he explained).
His final year was a masterpiece, a 10-4 record with two no-hitters, a 1.11 ERA in 881⁄3 innings with 171 strikeouts. He helped the team to its first ever regional, earning two wins in one day including a 16-strikeout 1-hitter against New Castle to clinch it.
He departed Muncie with a record 378 career strikeouts and went on to a decorated run at Florida State and a career that included parts of seven seasons in the major leagues.
Brandon Gorin
The Rebels almost missed out on one of the other greats to come through when Brandon Gorin came down to the wire his freshman year over taking up football.
In the basketball hotbed of Muncie, his first love was roundball, and even when he looked back on his four years as a Rebel, before playing with Drew Brees at Purdue and winning Super Bowls with New England, his first instinct was to talk about his basketball exploits and the closeness of that team.
But at 6-foot-6 and more than 300 pounds, he landed on the line and his football career blossomed from there.
When I got to Southside, I really fell in love with the game of football and just the bond, it was more about the bonds of the teammates, Gorin said. Even just sweating and banging and going through all the different things you go through in football, it became fun.
He ended up helping the Rebels to their first ever sectional in 1994, and recalled in the postgame huddle, watching his coach Mike Paul duck away for a moment, tearing up over what had just transpired.
Brandon Hayes
Brandon Hayes followed a similar path as Gorin, dreaming of playing basketball with the body of a lineman. He was on several successful basketball teams, including the squad that made semistate in 1989, but he settled on the fact football was his future.
That was almost derailed by an SAT snafu that saw him put off retaking the test until after his senior basketball season. By the time the score came in, most of the scholarships were offered and accepted, meaning only walk-on spots and small school opportunities.
Which led to Central State in Ohio.
I didnt want to put my mother in a situation, Hayes said. A lot of schools wanted me to pay for the first semester, walk on and then theyll give me a scholarship. I didnt want to have to put my mother through that.
He ended up parlaying that into a four-year run in the NFL. Paul, who coached him in high school, still remembers the Division I scouts who said he looked out of shape, despite never leaving the field, even on kicking plays, at his size.
Girls standouts
The roster of highly accomplished girls athletes was smaller. The volleyball program produced the likes of Amy Morgan, Melissa Criswell and Jenna Foster who all made All-State.
And then there was TyRonda Benning, a dynamic, multi-sport athlete whose highest achievements came for struggling teams. She played some volleyball and made state in in the long jump as a junior, one of the two seasons she competed in track, but basketball was the sport she favored.
She scored 25.8 points per game as a senior, made an array of All-State and all-star teams and competed in several showcases against other Division I players. But the future junior college player and later Ball State Cardinal never played for a winning team (her best squad went 8-13), and that program never got above .500 in its history.
It just made me a better athlete because I had to work harder because some my teams werent as good, Benning said. It made me push harder as an individual, let me be a better overall athlete.
Basketball success
Team success was no issue for the Rebel basketball program because the players were always there. Each year it seemed more talent came in, spanning from the stars of Souths earliest teams under Bob Heeter to the likes of Lawrence Jordan and Deak Vance in the 1980s and Ryan Baumgartner and Brice Jones on the 2001 state title team.
The only Rebel basketball player to receive the honor of being an Indiana All-Star was Lamar Morton, a 6-foot-2 guard who slashed his way to 28.1 points, eight rebounds 3.6 assists and 4.1 steals a game as a senior on a 22-3 sectional title team (also helped the Rebels to the 1989 semistate). He departed with a school-record 1,528 points.
A few years earlier, Tony Banks had swept through the south side, capping his run with averages of 20.1 points on 55.7 percent shooting and 11.2 rebounds before going on to an all-conference career at Kent State.
Champion wrestlers
And then there were the wrestlers that helped make their program arguably the most successful at the school. The Rebels annually sent competitors deep into the state tournament and six made their way to the top of the mountain as state champions.
The group includes Mike Holmes (126 pounds in 1975), Donald Pritchard (177 in 1975), David Palmer (167 in 1980), Marc Foreman (135 in 1990) and Isaiah Bradley, the 2012 champ at 152 who went to state all four years and holds the distinction as the final Rebel state champion.
Bradleys coach, Tony Abbott, rounded out that champion group, with a career that included three state trips, a runner-up finish and a title as a senior in 1990. His career didnt follow a steady rise, as he came in second as a sophomore, was eliminated earlier as a junior (by someone hed already beaten twice) and finally took his title.
But in his eyes, he never took a step back and was the same wrestler those last three years, but at the highest levels, things often come down to a toss-up at the margins.
Felt like I could win as a junior as well it if they would have redone it again, Abbott said. Just made that mistake or didnt catch that break. Its one of those things. In everything, you need a little luck too.

| Knight Of Dark chapter 3 . 7/11/2010
Your really portray the character very well, I can imagine Azula doing this easily and Zuko's way of acting, also the others reaction and things in this story! You should be a author with this kind of work!
| Malevolent Dark Reflection chapter 11 . 6/9/2010
I would give you reviews for every chapter you've written , but at the moment I feel so cheated. The story was hitting a huge climax. The Firelord was coming, as well as Toph and Sokka, and the uprising causing problems, along with the escaping Iroh, Aang, Zuko, and Katara. Plus the developments between Azula and Aang in chapter 8 were going to add some tension between them when they would meet again.
I REALLY wanted to know where this was going. I LOVE Aang/Azula fics. The very best ones are unfinished, like this one. I checked your author profile, and it seems that you are still writing stories.
If you have a small amount of pity for this poor reader, PLEASE continue this story. It was fantastic. This pairing is incredibly difficult to write without making the characters OOC, and you've done a fantastic job with keeping them in character.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE! PM me if anything.
| poter chapter 5 . 7/3/2009
put some aangzula romance in the story, please?
| Ranma-sama chapter 11 . 5/25/2009
Very nice. There aren't many at all Aang and Azula stories around, and I love it whenever I find one. Thank you for sharing, and hopefully you may be able to continue with updates one day.
| Rushing'Beauty'Wonder chapter 1 . 4/9/2009
Its good
| JustWriter2 chapter 11 . 1/22/2009
This story is adorable. Will Azula follow Aang and meet the fire-bending masters from the cannon episode where Zuko and Aang were in the flame tornado that carried every color?
| LaughingWolf93 chapter 11 . 7/11/2008
Good story hurry up an update!

Istanbul spans two continents, separated by the blustery Bosphorus. I'm sure you knew that already. Apparently tourists are often reluctant to cross over from the European to the Asian side, which is weird, because you can do it on a boat, and boat rides are fun. Also, why on earth would you miss an opportunity to travel between continents in the space of half an hour-ish? I think I possibly liked the Asian side even more than the European, actually. Or maybe I liked them the same. Or perhaps I liked the European more. Argh! It's such an exciting city.
Anyway this recipe was inspired by a restaurant on the Asian side called Çiya which, like Çukur Meyhane, had a few dishes on the menu that jumped out at me as being things I absolutely had to eat or else something terrible would happen. There are three branches of Çiya, and to quote Rebecca Seal who kindly gave me lots of excellent recommendations, including this one, "you want the one that does more than just kebabs". We sat outside, blinking in the high, bright sunshine on a wobbly table set on a steep cobbled street. Service is rapid and brusque; before we knew it silver dishes clattered onto the table, edges glinting like knives. The mezze appear to be self served from a buffet inside the restaurant, which I didn't realise until we'd eaten our main courses. No booze either but it was worth the visit for this dish alone – rich, sweet meatballs, cooked with soft, gently acidic plums.
Original dish with plums at Çiya, Istanbul
I wanted to re-create the dish and rhubarb seemed like an interesting seasonal variation. It was awesome. Yes, I say so myself. The meatballs are rich with Turkish chilli paste, which turns the oil bright amber as they cook, and those Turkish chilli flakes so small and dark they look like slate chippings. The sauce is heady, sweet and sour with pomegranate molasses and of course, the rhubarb.
This was perfect served with saffron rice and a dollop of yoghurt. The only thing missing was the sun (pissing rain outside, naturally) and the opportunity to amble over to the bar opposite for a cheeky raki and a tooth-achingly sweet noodle dish with cheese in the middle.
Turkish Lamb Meatballs with Rhubarb (makes 25 meatballs)
500g minced lamb (not too lean)
1 smallish onion, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Generous tablespoon Turkish pepper paste, plus a bit for luck
2 teaspoons Turkish chilli (dark)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 slice bread soaked with water until completely wet, then excess water squeezed out
Oil and butter, for frying
For the sauce
2 sticks rhubarb (approx 300g)
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
2 cardamom pods
Generous splash white wine
1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
Pistachios, to garnish (optional)
Greek yoghurt, to serve
Make the meatballs by combining the lamb mince, onion, garlic, Turkish pepper paste, Turkish chilli, cinnamon, bread and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix really well using your hands, then shape into 25 balls. In a frying pan, heat a splash of oil and knob of butter. Fry the balls in batches, about 5 or 6 at a time, until browned, then set aside. Drain the fat off into a bowl but keep it set aside.
De-glaze the pan with a good glug of the wine. Add the rhubarb, cardamom pods (crush them a bit), pomegranate molasses, sugar and some salt. Add a generous splash of water, bring to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for 10 minutes. Return the meatballs to the pan with some of the drained fat, and cook for a further 10 minutes with the lid on. Serve with bread or rice and yoghurt.

These look delish! I was in Istanbul a couple of months ago and had a great meal in Ciya. Don't miss the mezze next time – you help yourself from the buffet and they weigh the plate to work out how much you have to pay.
Amazing recipe – so tasty! I swapped the rhubarb for mango powder and it was phenomenal too with Greek yoghurt…new fave!
Looks and sounds amazing. I do love lamb. I also love the cat.
Thanks for mentioned or lovely Istanbul! Ciao from Bursa!
Oh my God! This is too much! Even that cat looks good enough to eat!
Of course I knew that Istanbul spans two continents, separated by the blustery Bosphorus. What do you think I am? Dumb or something?
But nice dish Helen and nifty use of the 'barb there, I like it a lot.
Those meatballs look/sound lush!
On that supersweet noodley-cheese thing. It's called Kunefe (?) or something. I had it a few times when i was in istanbul last year.. not exactly because i loved it, just because it was so… odd.. Crispy, baklava-y vermicelli, soaked in supersweet syrup, with melty salty cheese in the middle and honey on the top. Oddly moreish, though I always ate it with a puzzled look on my face..
Looks ACES! Do you think you can whip up a recipe for the noodle cheese thing??? Would love to give that a go as well.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Frank Tolbert scored 29 points and DeWayne Reed had 21, to lead Auburn to an 80-77 victory over Number 18 Mississippi.
The win keeps the Rebels from matching the best start in school history.
Quantez Robertson's 3-pointer from the right corner broke a 70-all tie with 1 minute left for the Tigers (11-5, 2-2 Southeastern Conference).
Eniel Polynice of Mississippi (15-2, 2-2) then missed a 3 at the other end.
Tolbert made four straight free throws and Auburn went 7-of-10 from the line over the final 39 seconds to keep Ole Miss from tying after twice pulling within three points.
Ole Miss was trying to match its 16-and-1 start in the 1925-26 season but fell short with yet another close one in the S-E-C.
The Rebels' first four league games have been decided by a total of 10 points.

|Assessment of vitamin D status and definition of a normal circulating range of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18971676 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The assessment of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] for clinical diagnosis has increased in an exponential fashion during the past 5 years. It is thus timely to review the reasons for this increase as well as the diverse analytical methods used to meet this need. RECENT FINDINGS: Nutritional vitamin D status, as defined by circulating levels of 25(OH)D, has long been implicated in skeletal health. However, in the past decade circulating 25(OH)D has been strongly linked in humans to cancer rates, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular health and infectious disease. As a result, availability and rapid analytical turnaround of 25(OH)D assays have had to improve. Today these demands are largely met in the clinical laboratory by direct automated chemiluminescent platform analysis or high-throughput LC/MS procedures. These methods are diverse and often do not agree with respect to designated reference ranges. SUMMARY: The assessment of circulating 25(OH)D levels has become an important clinical tool in the management and prevention of diverse disease states. For this reason, assay standardization as well as a uniform reference range for circulating 25(OH)D levels must be achieved.

Tiger Don Kelly is mobbed by his teammates after his game-winning sacrifice fly to win Game 2 against the Athletics today at Comerica Park. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ/DFP
Back and forth, back and forth, back and the Tigers are headed forth to Oakland with a two-game lead.
Don Kelly hit a walk-off sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the ninth to give the Tigers a 5-4 win in Game 2 of the American League Division Series today at Comerica Park.
Kellys sacrifice off Oakland As closer Grant Balfour scored Omar Infante, who singled to right-center with one out.
Was looking for a fastball and I got it, Kelly said. Its a great feeling. To be able to go out there in that situation and do that.
Miguel Cabrera then singled to shallow centerfield to put runners at the corners and Prince Fielder was intentionally walked to load the bases before Kelly ended the wild ride in front of a sellout crowd of 40,684.
The Tigers clawed back three times in the game, each time responding to Oakland runs in the top half of the inning, and tied the game on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, when reliever Ryan Cooks errant throw skipped under the glove of George Kottaras and plated Kelly from third.
Kelly pinch-ran for Delmon Young, who opened the inning with a sharp single to center.
Jhonny Peralta followed with a single, Andy Dirks sacrificed Kelly and Danny Worth who pinch-ran for Peralta -- into scoring position, but the Tigers couldnt capitalize when Quintin Berry and Alex Avila, both pinch-hitting, struck out swinging.
Earlier in the eighth, after striking out six times in his first six postseason plate appearances, Josh Reddick gave the As a 3-2 lead with a solo home run to right field off Joaquin Benoit.
Reddick rounded the bases after Yoenis Cespedes rounded the bases in less traditional fashion, tying the game after blooping a single to right-center, stealing second, then third, then scoring on a wild pitch by Benoit.
Al Alburquerque kept it tied in the ninth when he got Yoenis Cespedes to hit a comebacker with men on first and third and two outs. He gave the ball a quick smooch before throwing underhand to first.
I just did it, he said. It was the emotion of the game. I wasnt trying to be a hot dog.
• Related: More on Alburquerque's kiss
Oakland outfielder Josh Reddick wasnt thrilled.
We didnt appreciate that. I thought it was immature and not very professional, Reddick said. You dont do that on the field. Save it for the dugout. Thats all Im going to say.
In the other dugout, the Tigers were amused.
We were cracking up in the dugout, Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer said. We were like, Did he really just kiss the ball? ... Alburquerque does some crazy things on the mound.
Detroit trailed by a run in the bottom of the seventh, but Austin Jackson and Infante hit back-to-back two-out singles off reliever Sean Doolittle. Cabrera then lifted a fly ball to center which Coco Crisp bobbled. It dropped for an error and both runners scored.
I saw it come off the heel of my glove, and I tried to grab again, Crisp said. I even went for it barehanded, but I couldnt get it.
Both starting pitchers didnt factor into the decision.
Doug Fister went seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits. He struck out eight, walked two and surrendered the lead on a RBI single to Cliff Pennington in the seventh.
Entering the game, Pennington was 1-for-21 against Fister. His seventh inning single was his second of the game.
Meanwhile, rookie lefty Tommy Milone cashed in a quality start of six innings, allowing one run on five hits. He struck out six, walked one and kept the Tigers bats at bay.
The As touched Fister up for a run on four singles in the third, scoring on a Cespedes RBI single, and the Tigers responded with a RBI groundout from Young in the bottom half of the inning.
Cabrera doubled twice and Peralta had two hits for the Tigers.
The ALDS resumes on Tuesday night in Oakland on TBS TV.

Some of the lasting pictures from the tragic aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in the northeast United States are those of Democratic President Obama and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, standing side by side, surveying the damage.
Both the president and the governor offered praise to all those helping in the recovery, and specifically singled out one another. Some have questioned the sincerity and appropriateness, especially of Gov. Christie's praise of his party's most important election foe this coming Tuesday.
My take is that Gov. Christie's keynote address at the Republican ...

The number of West Nile virus cases is quickly rising in the United States. There's a record-setting number of cases up to this point in the year since the virus was first detected here in 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As of Sept. 4, 48 states had reported West Nile virus infections in people, birds or mosquitoes. The CDC received reports of 1,993 cases of the viral disease in people, including 87 deaths.
While more than 70 percent of the cases have been reported in Texas, South Dakota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Michigan, there have been cases in Minnesota, too.
"Most people — adults and children — who are infected by West Nile virus, show no symptoms at all. The disease can present like many other viral illnesses with fever, headache, and body aches. Sometimes a rash on the trunk or swollen lymph nodes are seen," said Dr. William Pomputius, medical director of Infectious Disease and Immunology at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. "In general, 1 in 150 people may develop severe disease with high fever, stiff neck, and nervous system symptoms, but children are much less likely than adults to have this complication. Parents concerned about their child's health should see their health care provider."
The latest report from the CDC serves as a reminder that we should take precautions to avoid the mosquito-borne illness.
The No. 1 way to prevent getting West Nile is to avoid a mosquito bite. We know that's easier said than done. So, we compiled some tips from the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health to help:
- Eliminate water-holding containers from your property. Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flowerpots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in birdbaths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren't being used.
- Use mosquito repellent that contains up to 30 percent DEET (10 percent for children)
- Wear long sleeve shirts and pants
- Avoid outdoor activity during dusk and dawn, when mosquito activity is highest.
