Losing chess
Losing chess (also known as Antichess, the Losing Game, Giveaway chess, Suicide chess, Killer chess, Must-Kill, or Take-all chess) is a chess variant in which the objective of each player is to lose all of his pieces or be stalemated, that is, a misère version. In some variations, a player may also win by checkmating or by being checkmated. Losing chess is one of the most popular of all chess variants.[1]
The origin of the game is unknown, but believed to significantly predate an early version, named Take Me, played in the 1870s. Because of the popularity of Losing chess, several variations have spawned. The most widely played (main variant) is described in Popular Chess Variants by D. B. Pritchard.
|This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
Rules (main variant)[edit]
The rules are the same as those for standard chess, except for the following special rules:
- Capturing is compulsory.
- When more than one capture is available, the player may choose.
- The king has no royal power and accordingly:
- In addition to its normal promotion options, a pawn may promote to a king.
- Stalemate is a win for the stalemated player.
A player wins by losing all his pieces, or being stalemated. Apart from move repetition, draw by agreement, and the fifty-move rule, the game is also drawn when a win is impossible (such as if a dark-squared bishop and a light-squared bishop are the only pieces remaining).
Because of the forced capture rule, Losing chess games often involve long sequences of forced captures by one player. This means that a minor mistake can doom a game. Such mistakes can be made from the very first move—losing openings for White include 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.d3, 1.Nf3, 1.Nc3, 1.f4, 1.h4, 1.b4, 1.h3, 1.a3, 1. c3 and 1.f3. Some of these openings took months of computer time to solve, but wins against 1.e4, 1.d4, and 1.d3 consist of simple series of forced captures and can be played from memory by most experienced players.[a]
Work to weakly solve the main variant of Losing chess is ongoing. As of February 2015 it has been found that, with perfect play, White is able to force a win after 19 of Black's 20 legal responses to 1.e3. Only the outcome of 1...b6 is currently unsolved.[3]
In the example diagram, 1...d6?? is a blunder since White can easily force victory. In this sequence, each move by Black from 2...Bxg4 through 16...Bxd3 is the only legal move available.
Variations regarding stalemate[edit]
Implementations of the main variant can vary in regard to stalemate. "International" rules are as described above, with the stalemated player winning. FICS rules resolve stalemate as a win for the player with the fewer number of pieces remaining; if both have the same number, it is a draw (the piece types are irrelevant). "Joint" FICS/International rules resolves stalemate as a draw unless it is a victory for one player under both rulesets.[3] The stalemate in the diagram is a win for White under "International" rules, a win for Black under FICS rules, and a draw under "joint" rules.
Variant 2[edit]
Rules are the same as the main rules, except:[4]
- Pawns promote only to queens.
- Stalemate is a draw.
Variant 3[edit]
Rules are the same as the main rules, except:[4]
- The king has royal powers, and removing the king from check takes precedence over capturing another piece.
- A player wins by reducing his pieces to just a king, or by checkmating the opponent.
- Stalemate is a draw.
Variant 4[edit]
Rules are the same as variant 3, except:[4]
- A player wins by reducing his pieces to just a king, or by getting checkmated.
Kamikaze Chess[edit]
- A player wins by losing all his pieces, or by checkmating the opponent.
- The king has royal powers, and removing the king from check takes precedence over capturing another piece.
- Players must lose their king last. Players must not move into check until they have only the king left.
- Pawns promote only to queens.
Kamikaze Chess II[edit]
Rules are the same as the main rules, except:
- Black moves first.
- Castling is permitted.
- Pawns may promote to kings.
- When a player has only a pawn remaining, and the pawn is blocked from advancing, the opponent gets unlimited moves until the pawn is freed.
Losers Chess (ICC)[edit]
There are two major variants, Losers Chess (aka w17) played on ICC, and Suicide Chess on free ICSs. The goal in both games is to lose all of one's pieces, although in Losers Chess, a player can also win by getting checkmated.
Tidskrift för Schack, 1929
David Pritchard, the author of The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, wrote that the "complexity and beauty" of Losing chess is found in its endgame. He noted that, in contrast with regular chess, Losing chess endgames with just two pieces require considerable skill to play correctly, whilst three or four pieces endgames can exceed human capacity to solve precisely.[2]

Most Helpful
I've made this on both pita and naan and love it!
The toppings I used were thinly-sliced roma tomatoes and fresh basil. When you compare speed, ease, taste and healthiness, these are amazing! So simple and very good.
This is a wonderful healthy pizza. We used flat out bread pitas for the base and even though we forgot to cook it for 7 minutes before loading it up with goodies it still came out very nice though it could have been a bit crispier but totally our fault on that one :) Thanks for posting this tasty treat and it is now in our keeper file and will be made regurally. YUMMMMM

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum has just been appointed Dubai World's new chairman; Kipp decided to take a look at his diverse and influential network of associates.
December 13, 2010 4:28 by shafeer
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum is the man of the moment after Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, replaced current Dubai World chairman Sultan bin Sulayem with him. Sheikh Ahmed, who is, interestingly, Sheikh Mohammed's uncle, has the not-so-enviably task of heading the troublesome Dubai World, a company that has worked hard to restructure $25 billion of debt over the past year.
Sheikh Ahmed is best known for his role as chairman of Emirates Airlines—a position he has held since the inception of the airline. In fact he has a career history in aviation, ever since he was appointed to the office of the President of the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation. A holder of a Bachelors Degree from the University of Denver, Colorado, Sheikh Ahmed was honoured for his contribution and achievement in aviation with a fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society at the 1994 Farnborough Air Show in the UK. He is also the Chairman of Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority, Dubai Air Wing, Alliance Insurance Company, Le Meridien Dubai, Dubai International Marine Club, Dubai Golf Club, The British University in Dubai, The Dubai Power & Energy Committee, and the UAE National Olympic Committee. He is also, apparently, the International Life Vice President of Chelsea Football Club and, as Wikipedia felt it important to note, Sheikh Ahmed "loves to eat toffees".
Considered by some as one of the pioneers that have seen and helped Dubai grow over the years, Sheikh Ahmed's network is as interesting and diverse as his experience is. Click "Next" to continue.

When using MIMD (multiple instruction, multiple data) parallel computers, one is often confronted with solving a task composed of many independent subtasks where it is necessary to synchronize the processors after all the subtasks have been completed. This paper studies how the subtasks should be allocated to the processors in order to minimize the expected time it takes to finish all the subtasks (sometimes called the makespan). We assume that the running times of the subtasks are independent, identically distributed, increasing failure rate random variables, and that assigning one or more subtasks to a processor entails some overhead, or communication time, that is independent of the number of subtasks allocated. Our analyses, which use ideas from renewal theory, reliability theory, order statistics, and the theory of large deviations, are valid for a wide class of distributions. We show that allocating an equal number of subtasks to each processor all at once has good efficiency. This appears as a consequence of a rather general theorem which shows how some consequences of the central limit theorem hold even when we cannot prove that the central limit theorem applies.

Energy and Power Subcommittee Continues Examination of Changing Energy Landscape, Grid Reliability, and Affordability
WASHINGTON, DC – The Subcommittee on Energy and Power, chaired by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), today continued its American Energy Security and Innovation hearing series with a focus on grid reliability challenges that arise from the nation's shifting energy resource landscape. This hearing built on the subcommittee's March 5 and March 19 hearings on the role of fuel diversity in America's electricity generation portfolio and gas-electric coordination challenges. With natural gas and renewables playing a greater role in the generation mix, several challenges have been identified as a result of this evolving energy landscape.
"The proportion of electricity we get from coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, and non-hydro renewables has remained relatively constant over the last several decades. However, a shift is occurring and what is alarming is how fast the mix has changed during the past few years. And it is this rapid transition that presents a number of pressing concerns that must be addressed in order to ensure a reliable and affordable electricity supply," said Whitfield.
"This committee is dedicated to ensuring the continued availability of affordable and reliable power to American homes and businesses, all the while protecting jobs in this rapidly changing energy landscape," said Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI). "America's newfound abundance of natural gas is a blessing, as are technological advancements that make renewables more cost competitive and reliable. Both of these resources should – and will – play an important role in contributing to our energy needs. But we need to take steps to properly and cost-effectively integrate these resources into the electricity portfolio."
Dominion Energy CEO Gary Sypolt explained that the shale gas revolution is providing many benefits for the American people, but cautioned that policy makers must ensure the proper conditions are maintained to continue the availability of affordable and reliable energy. He said, "We must address the obstacles that in some markets may undermine the ability to construct the natural gas infrastructure needed to serve the growing electric generation market. Market rules must be reformed to value investments in reliability and to ensure the ability to recover such costs from those who benefit from reliable electricity."
John Shelk, President and CEO of the Electric Power Supply Association, added that a one-size-fits-all national approach to reliability will¬¬ not serve the nation well. Instead, he advocated for regional policies that can better adapt to resource changes and capitalize on the capabilities prevalent in different areas of the country. "The electric/gas coordination challenge varies by region and therefore a regional, stakeholder-driven approach with fair and transparent collaboration and communication is preferable to a 'one-size-fits-all' top-down federal solution," said Shelk.
Paul Cicio, President of the Industrial Energy Consumers of America, described the concerns that many manufacturers have about energy reliability and impacts it may have on production costs. "Reliability is an important safety and cost issue. Policy makers should not wait until there is rolling brown outs or black outs to provide oversight of natural gas pipeline capacity reliability," said Cicio.
Regarding the increased integration of renewables into the electric grid, Dr. Jonathan Lesser, President of Continental Economics, Inc., warned, "Federal and state policies that subsidize development of intermittent generating resources, especially wind generation, reduce the reliability of the power system because of the inherently volatile nature of the output of such resources."
Whitfield concluded, "The electric sector is changing, but one thing that remains constant is that homeowners, small business owners, manufacturers, and others still need reliable and affordable electricity."

Sports games get stale, and are only open to a select audience. Much like racing, it is important to have a simulation and an arcade style to appeal to different audiences. Sure, NBA Jam exists again and NFL Blitz was meh. Both were tied down by licensing issues, and ironically both were done by EA. While it's nice to see these two again, we do not necessarily need licensing to make great games. In the 90s, EA actually created some really interesting games called Mutant League Football and Hockey. You can also throw in NHL Rock the Rink as well. Mutant League mirrored their professional counterparts, but had teams that poked fun at real life teams. People I talk to now that aren't sports fans do remember playing those games, and most would enjoy another iteration of the titles.
The scopes of games have changed with the internet. Games like Little Big Planet and Modnation Racing have changed the scope of replay value in games. With the ability to customize your characters, or download others, it allows for endless hours of entertainment. Even if you lack the creativity or effort to create something on these titles, there's always someone else who does. Imagine you make create a team and all the players are the X-Men and they are beating up and doing stupid things against a created team of Nascar drivers? The idea of having a sports game that's over the top, and allows for customization would be ideal. It could also give a developer and opportunity to show off a great graphical or physics engine to maybe help it's case in acquiring an official license.
As for the game itself, if it's football or hockey, the game would need to be brutal. No blood necessarily, but comically brutal. That's part of the problem with the new NFL Blitz. The NFL doesn't want to make this available to make themselves look bad. A developer without a license could basically do what they want. I mean, you could make it bloody to where a QB sack would involve pulling the QB's head off, much like a Mortal Kombat fatality. Hockey would have to be overly brutal, fast, and include tons of fighting. Wayne Gretzky Hockey was an amazingly fun game for the N64, and so was NHL Open Ice. Mutant League Hockey was the over the top title people loved to play.
Blitz: The League even had a nice run and has a cult following, but that game was more of a dark take on the sport of professional football. Nothing needs to be dark and disturbing about the game. Twisted Metal (my PS3 game of the year) was rebooted and was amazing. The sports title doesn't need to be like that, but it's a good example of over the top combat. I think EA should resurrect Mutant League Football/Hockey or another developer step to the plate with something of equal value. There's a lot of potential with this idea to help lure casual fans into sports games.

The Joy of Capital Spending
India's Top 20 Pharma companies are upgrading facilities to proactively enjoy Pharma market opportunities
India's top 20 pharmaceutical companies are increasing capital expenditures by 40 percent to take advantage of market opportunities to come, says a report from CRISIL, a global analytical company providing ratings, research, risk and policy advisory services. The article, which appeared on The Economic Times of India website, attributes the CapEx increase in India to the fact that the country's "drug makers are expected to pay greater attention to regulated markets, especially the U.S. market, and to take advantage of substantial patent expiries expected in the medium term, as well as an ever-increasing demand for generics."
There's been no shortage of criticism of India's pharmaceutical industry and its drug-quality lapses. A…

Mature Quality Systems: What Pharma Can Learn from Other Industries
Pharma can take inspiration from industries with mature quality systems and advanced quality capabilities
Quality has a special meaning in pharmaceuticals, where production or distribution errors can jeopardize human life. But other industries face similar challenges, and some have developed sophisticated quality systems. As pharmaceutical companies look for ways to improve their quality practices and performance, they can take ideas from these quality leaders and adapt them for pharma.
Quality can be defined in various ways, from "fitness for purpose" to "meeting customer expectations" to predictability in statistical terms. Each industry understands quality differently, and priorities depend on the specifics of products and markets. In the automotive industry, for instance, companies generally define quality as the ability to meet…

The optimization and scale-up of wet granulation processes is often an essential step in the commercialization of oral solid dosage (OSD) products. Granulation enables the preparation of an optimized blend for tableting in which small quantities of highly potent active ingredients (APIs) are stably and homogeneously distributed. Furthermore, granule properties can be manipulated to control, for example, the flowability of the blend and its compressibility. In these ways granulation underpins the manufacture of high-quality tablets with consistent dose uniformity.Wet granulation, and in particular high shear wet granulation, is the technology of choice for many OSD production processes. Compared with alternative methods, high shear…

The quest for "knowing exactly what's in the soup"
The first thing to remember is that Analytical Chemists (ACs) and Biochemists (BCs) see the world differently. Analytical types have always worked with inferential tests: color changes, odors, precipitates (for classes of elements) and felt comfortable using "clues" to deduce the answer. Biochemists, especially in the drug industry, are always attempting to be specific. If a reaction is proceeding, what is being used and produced; if it has ended, what is left in the reactor and what was produced.
They want to know the exact composition of the "soup." So when PAT was broached to the ACs, for example, blend uniformity testing, we felt fine just seeing that the spectra stopped changing, implying that the mixing was complete. BCs tend…

Over the past 20 years, it has become an essential business requirement for process manufacturing plants to use digital automation systems to compete in a global economy. During this time period, the reliability of electronic equipment has also significantly improved. As a result, management has often redirected limited plant resources to perform higher value-added continuous improvement projects, with less time being allocated to manage the automation system. Today's lean manufacturing environment provides limited technical expertise and reduced staffing levels. In turn, some plant site's awareness and processes are not fully optimized for reacting to disruptive events or unexpected failure(s) in their automation system. Even when a…

Managing Regulated Content Enterprise-Wide
For the first time in a long time, the Internet is abuzz with something that might actually eclipse the Internet in terms of impact on the world.
Buzzwords get a bad rap. This is mostly due to operator error. Sometimes really valid concepts get haphazardly tossed around so frequently by people who don't fully understand them that the actual concept starts getting muddled. But this shouldn't always devalue the initial idea.
The "Internet of Things" is a good example. There are so many articles casually using the acronym "IoT" that it has become difficult to find a basic discussion of the concept.

Finding ways to reduce complexities eliminates redundancies and streamlines operations while staying compliant
Those of us in the competitive and highly regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries understand the need to balance operational efficiency with regulatory compliance. We must find ways to reduce complexities, eliminate redundancies and streamline operations while staying compliant with an array of regulations, guidance documents and regulatory expectations (some explicit, others less so). Making changes to our processes requires overcoming challenges arising from these often competing interests.

Design and implementation of a compliance process with global governance: a case study
When PharmaCo (fictitious name) launched its Asset Change Control (ACC) project, the company faced a highly fragmented situation where physical asset changes were managed non-homogeneously across the manufacturing sites of one of its divisions. For instance, some sites would only include GMP equipment in the scope of change control but not utilities and facilities. At other sites the ACC's scope covered all equipment, but would only evaluate the GMP impact and not the HSE impact. Some sites were operating fully paper-based systems; others used partially automated or self-developed IT applications. The objectives of the project were therefore to establish a global harmonized asset change control process and to implement a global tool to…

Process safety information is fundamental to any Process Safety Management initiative
In 1992 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the Process Safety Management (PSM) program and required chemical facilities that contained over the threshold quantities of hazardous chemicals to comply with its requirements. The overall objective of the OSHA PSM program is to prevent or minimize the consequences of the catastrophic release of toxic, reactive, flammable, explosive, or highly hazardous chemicals. One of the main aspects of this program is to keep and maintain the Process Safety Information (PSI) as "living" documents.
Process Safety Information (PSI) is a very critical building block of the PSM program. PSI must be correct and kept up to date so the employees in the PSM covered facility have the…

FDA Finalizes Authority to Destroy Rejected Drug Imports
The FDA has issued a final rule that allows the agency to destroy a drug valued at $2,500 or less that was refused admission into the United States.
Existing rules state that even if a misbranded or counterfeit drug is detained at the point of import, its sponsor can apply to have the drug returned within 90 days, which often leads to counterfeiters repackaging and re-shipping the drugs back to the U.S.
Owners will still have the option to export or destroy refused drugs in two situations: 1.) if the drug is valued over $2500 or 2.) if the FDA refuses admission but is not able to determine that the drug is adulterated, misbranded, or unapproved.
According to RAPS, the FDA says it's preparing for about 15,100 destructions annually.

How to Select the Right Compressed Air System
Each application requires a different level of air quality and a different combination of air treatment to meet the needed specs
In the pharmaceutical industry, compressed air is used for a number of production and packaging applications, including blowing off and drying bottles prior to filling, conveying pills, providing air for pneumatically controlled valves and cylinders, as well as breathing air systems.
Each of these applications requires a different level of air quality and a different combination of air treatment to meet the needed quality. Because the uses of compressed air within the industry vary so greatly, there is no set standard in place that every process must adhere to.
While the FDA may not have issued a directive for compressed air quality in the pharmaceutical industry, there is still a resource available to help select appropriate air treatment…

"Lego" inspired control concept from Festo creates a better fitting, economical method to automate this critical utility
Almost anyone can recognize the practicality associated with the concept of modularity. To the many engineers who busy themselves designing, engineering and constructing complex pharma processing systems, the idea of managing such complexity by breaking it down into standardized subsystems and components is a well understood and pragmatic approach to system design. According to Festo, such is the case with automation and control. Modular systems, say Festo, speed up the design and configuration of automated processes, lower overall costs, and make a process like water filtration more flexible and therefore better at adapting to new operational requirements and responsive to market demands.

About time this thread came back to life...okay so thats just an excuse to post a few update pics of my yellow Taz. Changes are a shorter, more nu-skool cockpit which has opened up the bike to be a much more playful singletrack machine. 50mm 10degree stem (possibly a smidgen short) with 0.5' low-rise Easton bars. Before you ask the front doesn't want to come up on all but the very steep climbs (which can obviously be countered with weight shifting anyway - besides i'm more a sprinter than a sitter). Also just recieved my new WTB Laser V Ti saddle and Maxxis 2.1 High Roller eXCeptions (480grams each). Still amazed just how much of a weapon this bike is every time i hit a good trail.
BTW i've recently recieved some Tazmon information/specifications from Santa Cruz themselves and was wanting to post it - should i start a new thread or post it here? Anyway its quite useful info for Tazmon maintenance.

For a team that is likely to go 0-12 after this weekend's obligatory loss to California, there sure are a lot of people interested in coaching at the University of Washington.
Mike Leach, who was just named Big 12 Coach of the Year, was reportedly on a commercial flight to Seattle yesterday (way to cut costs, there, UW). Fresno State's Pat Hill has been mentioned as a candidate. And Jim Mora, Jr., who created a stir two years ago when he openly pined for the UW job when he was still employed by the Falcons, is perhaps considered the front runner. Leach's trip yesterday is maybe the strangest, considering these kinds of trips are usually made on private planes so as not to arouse suspicion.
Bob Condotta of the SEATTLE TIMES has been convinced by a passenger on yesterday's Alaska Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Seattle that Leach was on the plane:
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach , wearing a baseball hat, T-shirt, and tennis shoes, flew to Seattle yesterday afternoon from Las Vegas on Alaska Flight 601, according to a fellow passenger.
"I'm positive it was him," said Dave Christophersen, who said he immediately recognized Leach and had it reinforced when Leach's wife, Sharon, was called to the counter to upgrade to first class. Flight 601 is scheduled to leave each day at 11:20 a.m. and arrive in Seattle at 2:03 p.m.
Texas Tech's sports information director says he doesn't know where Leach was yesterday, but an IMG agent who represents the coach says he wasn't in Seattle. I don't know who this Christopherson fella is, or how he got in touch with Condotta, but he seems pretty adamant.
Meanwhile, rumors continue to surround Mora, an assistant with the Seahawks who signed a contract to take over as head coach after Mike Holmgren's retirement at the end of this season. SEAHAWKS INSIDERS's Frank Hughes has been bombarded with claims that Mora's hiring at UW is imminent:
I myself have gotten a flurry of emails informing me that Mora would be announced in the next 24 hours; that Paul Allen and Scott Woodward have sat down to discuss the issue; that Mora is definitely going to be the Huskies' next coach and it will be announced any moment. There has been no indication from Renton that anything has changed from Mora's initial — and only — statement on the topic, saying he is not a candidate for the position.
One guy who is now out of the running is Cincinnati's Brian Kelly, who is going to bask in the glow of a BCS bid by returning to coach the Bearcats next year. Kelly's plan seems to be to get a big contract extension from UC and get the university to commit to upgrading the stadium and facilities to help turn the school into a football power (although this isn't exactly working out for Rutgers):
Among the topics of discussion was the renovation of Nippert Stadium. Thomas said plans include adding additional seats, premium seating such as club seats and luxury suites, and improved infrastructure such as more restrooms and concessions.
Thomas said these improvements have been on his radar for several years, but the football team's success this year and impending bid to a major bowl game put things on the fast track.
Washington has quite a football history, but hasn't really been relevant since going to the Rose Bowl at the end of the 2000 season. And, looking back, some of UW's past success came as the result of the shady ethics of former coach Rick Neuheisel and additional NCAA offenses committed during Don James' final seasons with the Huskies.
Leach must be so convinced, though, that Tech will always be third fiddle to Texas and Oklahoma that it might be worth it to him to try and resuscitate a dying program. Leach has no Pac-10 ties. He was born in California, but was raised in Wyoming before attending BYU.
Edit: I admit that I did confuse Don James with another coach in my mind, and I apologize for insinuating that James had ethical issues on the same level as Neuheisel. I've corrected that. However, James was in charge during a period in which UW was hit with a postseason ban and admitted to a lack of institutional control regarding recruiting, so he has to share some blame in the situation.

|Danny Doyle
|Years active
Danny Doyle is an Irish folk singer.
After leaving school at the age of fourteen, Doyle started doing odd jobs, including working as general factotum in Dublin's Pike Theatre, where he began to pick up, from the travelling players, songs from the Irish countryside.
During the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of the top Irish singers, regularly featuring in the Irish charts and scoring three No.1 singles (notably displacing ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" after just one week at the top).[1] He has recorded 25 albums, including Emigrant Eyes, a collaboration with his sister Geraldine, a comedienne popular in Australia. He is probably best known for his 1967 Number One hit "Whiskey on a Sunday".
He has appeared in concert throughout the world, including Carnegie Hall, New York and the Albert Hall, London.
Although retired from performing, he joined numerous musicians on stage at the end of the 2010 Milwaukee Irish Fest, in what is known as the Scattering.

SAN ANTONIO — Danny Green wasn't feeling it, no matter how sticky the Miami Heat and the heat made things.
The San Antonio Spurs guard kept missing shots for 31/2 quarters amid sweltering conditions Thursday night inside the AT&T Center, an air-conditioning malfunction turning the arena into a virtual sauna.
Then Green managed to find refuge on the perimeter in the game's final six minutes, nudging the Spurs past the Miami Heat, 110-95, in Game 1 of the Finals.
He made a trio of three-pointers and a breakaway dunk, his 11-point outburst over a span of 2 minutes 17 seconds helping San Antonio wipe out a seven-point deficit on a night Miami's LeBron James limped off the court because of cramps with 3:59 left and did not return.
"Every timeout I was screaming at him and encouraging him," Spurs guard Tony Parker said of Green, who had missed his first five shots, "and I'm very proud of him because you never know when he's going to start making shots."
The heat was almost a bigger story than the Heat as temperatures hovered around a reported 88 degrees on the court. Sweaty fans made makeshift fans out of game programs, pamphlets — pretty much anything they could find — before chanting "Beat the Heat!" during a timeout with 41/2 minutes to go.
It seemed like they were referring to Miami, but it worked either way.
Game 2 is Sunday in San Antonio after a two-day cooling-off period that both teams will happily take.
"I don't think I've played in anything like this since I left the islands," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan, a native of the U.S. Virgin Islands who finished with 21 points on nine-for-10 shooting to go with 10 rebounds while improving to 6-0 in Finals openers. "It was pretty bad out there."
Fans booed when an announcement was made about the air-conditioning outage resulting from an electric failure, but they spent the latter half of the fourth quarter roaring their approval.
The Spurs closed the game on a 31-9 run, making 10 of their final 11 shots. Meanwhile, the Heat went scoreless over the game's final 2:46.
The game-turning run started when Green made three-pointers on consecutive possessions to give the Spurs a 90-88 lead. His final three-pointer extended the advantage to 97-92 and the game-ending rout was on.
"That's what he does, you know," San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich said of Green's three-point shooting. "That's his major skill. If he's not going to do that, then we might as well play somebody else."
San Antonio made an unreal 14 of 16 shots (87.5 percent) in the fourth quarter, including all six three-pointers, helping to offset their 23 turnovers for the game.
Green finished with 13 points on four-for-nine shooting and was one of five Spurs to score in double figures. Parker's sore ankle looked just fine as he finished with 19 points and eight assists, and Manu Ginobili added 16 points and 11 assists.

Yet when bigotry is uncovered, people lose their jobs, as they would have done in the past.
bigotry and racism exist, of course—and they are evils that all well-intentioned people must oppose.
The latest episode of bigotry comes at the hands of Ebony Magazine Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux.
How did bigotry attain such power, and how was it so encoded into our laws?
Arizona has become a "Mecca for prejudice and bigotry," he said.
There's a thousand years of prejudice and bigotry concentrated in you.
But infidelity and bigotry are frequently next-door neighbours.
Stern in temper and narrow in mind, his bigotry was ardent to the pitch of insanity.
But that passion is consistent with narrowness, bigotry, inhumanity.
bigotry sees nothing but itself, which it mistakes for wisdom and virtue.

P.F. Chang's names 33 restaurants in data breach, including Robinson location
P.F. Chang's restaurant disclosed on Monday that its restaurant in the Settlers Ridge shopping center in Robinson was among 33 nationwide where customers' credit and debit card data may have been stolen.
The naming of specific restaurants where customers' information was compromised occurs about two months after the chain first confirmed a breach. Information from the Robinson location was compromised between April 10 and June 11, the company said.
The company said on its website that it will provide customers with free credit monitoring and identity theft protection service for 12 months. But some customers were not pleased with the company's delay in disclosing which locations were affected by the breach.
Laura Bogden, 55, of Oak Hill, W.Va., said she used her debit card at the Robinson restaurant in April and was notified by her bank that her information was breached even before P.F. Chang's announcement.
"That's why I paid with cash today," she said after eating at the restaurant on Monday. "Absolutely, I think (the company) should have let everyone know (immediately)."
Bogden said she wouldn't stop eating at the restaurant, "but I'll never use a card there again."
A spokeswoman for P.F. Chang's did not return a call for comment. The company, which was alerted by the Secret Service of a possible security breach in June, posted comments on its website, pfchangs.com/security.
The compromised data involved credit and debit card numbers and in some cases the cardholder's name and/or the card's expiration date, CEO Rick Federico wrote in a statement. He said the company has been processing credit and debit card transactions securely since June 11.
"Our team, including third-party forensics experts, has been working continuously to understand the nature and scope of the incident," Federico said. "This investigation is ongoing. The security compromise, however, has been contained."
The list of affected locations includes Glen Mills, Pa.; Baltimore; St. Louis; and Charlotte. The restaurant at the Waterfront in Homestead was not named.
A list of all the locations, as well as the dates that cards might have been compromised, can be found on the website.
The restaurant operator noted that as the investigation continues, it could identify other locations where data may have been compromised or other date ranges.
P.F. Chang's China Bistro Inc., based in Scottsdale, Ariz., owns its namesake restaurants and Pei Wei Asian Diners, which was unaffected. The company was taken private in 2012 by Centerbridge partners LP for about $1.1 billion.
Data breaches have occurred at other major American corporations recently, including Target Corp., Neiman Marcus, Sally Beauty Holdings Inc. and Michaels Stores Inc.
