Explains what antipsychotics are used for, how the medication works, possible side effects and information about withdrawal.
You are most likely to be given antipsychotic drugs if you are experiencing psychosis, either as a one-off episode or as part of an ongoing illness. You may also be given an antipsychotic for other mental health problems.
If you are having a psychotic episode, you may perceive things and interpret events differently from those around you. You may hear voices, see things other people can't see (hallucinations) or have ideas that are not shared by those around you (delusions). You might believe, for example, that you are under the control of an outside force.
Psychotic illnesses include schizophrenia and mania, but you may also experience brief episodes during severe depression or a physical illness, or sometimes because of taking street drugs, such as amphetamines, cocaine or cannabis.
(For more information, see Psychotic experiences, How to cope with the early signs of mental health problems, The mental health effects of street drugs, Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.)
Antipsychotics are not a cure for psychosis, but are often effective in controlling its symptoms, and may help you to return to normal life. You may find that rather than stopping your psychotic experiences, e.g. hearing voices, the drugs just stop you feeling so bothered by them.
They may:
Antipsychotics are also sometimes prescribed for anxiety, in very low doses, and to supplement antidepressants if you are severely depressed. They are also sometimes used to control agitation and psychotic experiences in dementia.
Occasionally they are used for treating physical problems, such as persistent hiccups, problems with balance, and nausea.
The antipsychotic that worked gave me a break from symptoms that were very difficult to live with. Once my depression had lifted I was able to stop taking it.
The first generation (older) antipsychotics, developed in the 1950s, divide into various chemical groups which act in a very similar way and have very similar side effects, but vary slightly in how likely you are to get the different types of side effects: for example, some cause more movement disorders and some are less sedating than others. See 'The different types of antipsychotics' for more details on the individual drugs and their side effects.
The second generation (newer) antipsychotics. Most of the newer antipsychotics were first licensed in the 1990s, developed with the aim of reducing the severe movement disturbances associated with the older drugs. Some of them also have fewer of the side effects associated with raised prolactin levels (see 'Sexual side-effects'). However they do cause serious metabolic side effects including gross weight gain. See 'The different types of antipsychotics' for more details on the individual drugs and their side effects.
Not everybody finds antipsychotics helpful and they can have a large number of side effects which affect a lot of people who take them, to some extent. If you find the medication helps with your symptoms, you may feel it worth putting up with a few side effects, but if the drugs don't seem to be helping much, the side effects may be difficult to tolerate. You may need to try one or two different drugs before you find the one that suits you best.
Antipsychotic drugs treat the 'positive' symptoms of schizophrenia, which include delusions and hearing voices. The 'negative' symptoms include feeling apathetic, not looking after yourself, and being unable to concentrate.
Older antipsychotics usually have no effect on the negative symptoms, and some of the side effects may make them worse.
Newer antipsychotics often help with both types of symptoms. You should be given a choice about which type of antipsychotic to take, but if you are unable to make a choice, then you should be given a newer drug. NICE (The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) recommends that newer antipsychotics should be used:
If you are already on an older antipsychotic, and your symptoms are responding well, without causing you unacceptable side effects, there's no need to change to a newer drug. If neither an older nor a newer antipsychotic has controlled your symptoms after you have taken them for six to eight weeks, your doctor should suggest you try clozapine.
If you are taking an antipsychotic for bipolar disorder or depression, you are most likely to be prescribed one of the newer drugs. For anxiety, either type might be used, at very low doses.
It is important that your doctor knows about any medical conditions you have and any treatment you are already receiving when they are prescribing an antipsychotic and deciding which one may be most suitable for you.
If you have any of the following, you should use these drugs with caution:
Antipsychotics should not be given to people with phaeochromocytoma (a type of tumour causing very high blood pressure) or anyone who is semi-conscious, unconscious or in a coma.
Doctors should also prescribe them with caution to older people. This is because they may be prone to drops in blood pressure when standing up, leading to falls, and also to both high and low body temperature.
As a general rule, you should avoid taking any drugs during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, unless the benefits to you are likely to outweigh the risk to the baby. If possible, avoid all drugs at least during the first three months. Prochlorperazine (Stemetil), in particular, is associated with malformations in the developing baby during this period.
There have also been reports of temporary muscle disorders in newborn babies, if antipsychotics are used in the last three months of pregnancy. Because long-acting drugs take time to clear from the body, it's important to take your final dose six to eight weeks before the baby's expected delivery date. It's very important to discuss any concerns with your doctor, midwife and other professionals responsible for your health during pregnancy and delivery.
The manufacturers advise women against taking the newer antipsychotics if you are breastfeeding. It's best to avoid antipsychotics altogether, if possible. Ask your doctor and your pharmacist about the safety of any drug you are advised to take.
Most antipsychotics block the effects of dopamine, one of the brain chemicals that carry messages between cells in different areas of the brain. Blocking dopamine reduces the flow of messages, which may be too frequent in psychotic states. Many of the drugs make you feel very slowed down and sleepy, and some people have suggested that they work by causing Parkinsonism – not just the physical symptoms, which are well recognised as side effects, but also the psychological symptoms of this disease such as not feeling your emotions and losing interest in doing your usual activities.
Most antipsychotics affect other brain chemicals too, such as serotonin and noradrenaline, and this causes additional side effects.
This depends partly on how you take them:
However you take the drugs, they may calm you down quite quickly, but the psychotic symptoms, such as voices, may take days or weeks to suppress.
You have a right to know what dosage you have been prescribed, and these vary widely. For example, chlorpromazine (Largactil) can be prescribed in tablet form to physically healthy adults in doses ranging from 75mg up to 1,000mg daily.
Because antipsychotics can have very serious side effects, the NICE guidelines on the treatment of schizophrenia suggest that doctors prescribe antipsychotics at the lowest effective dose to reduce your symptoms, and increase gradually if necessary. The aim should be to find the dose that lets you lead as normal a life as possible. You should not be given a high starting dose.
High doses of the older drugs can make you feel like a zombie, with little expression on your face and strange movements, and a loss of interest in life. They can make it very difficult for you to move normally, to get up and get going in the morning, and to take part in normal activities.
Moderate to high doses increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia, which is a serious problem causing spontaneous movements.
For many people, low maintenance doses are as effective as higher doses. As you get older, your body gets less efficient at dealing with drugs generally, so older people need smaller doses of drugs, and their health is at risk if they are given too high a dose.
If the medication is not working, it's important for doctors to think about trying a different drug rather than automatically putting up the dose of the one you started with.
The British National Formulary (BNF – the main drug reference book for prescribers) gives maximum doses for some, but not all, of the antipsychotics (see details for individual drugs). Generally, the drugs aren't licensed for use above these dosages, but doctors can give you a higher dose, at their discretion. If you are in hospital, they may also prescribe medication to be given 'as necessary' (usually referred to as p.r.n.) which can mean in addition to your regular dose. As a result, your total dose could be above the BNF maximum. In this case, your psychiatrist has a duty to review your total dosage daily.
If you are taking more than one antipsychotic drug, you can work out the dose of each (including p.r.n. prescribing, as long as you know each dose) as a percentage of the maximum recommended in the BNF. Add the percentages together to see if you are taking more than 100 per cent in total. You can also ask your doctor or a pharmacist to help you work this out. If you think you are taking too much medication, you can ask your doctor to review it.
Your doctor may want to prescribe more than one antipsychotic at a time. This is known as polypharmacy. This could mean that a doctor prescribes an oral drug as well as a depot injection, or an older drug as well as a newer one.
This may happen:
However, in most cases, doctors should avoid combining the different types of antipsychotics.
In an emergency situation, if you are behaving in a way that might be putting yourself or other people at risk, doctors may decide you need something to calm you down as quickly as possible. This means you may be given drugs by injection.
The drugs most likely to be used are the older antipsychotics Clopixol Acuphase or haloperidol, or the newer drug olanzapine. The antipsychotic may be combined with a benzodiazepine tranquilliser (see Sleeping pills and minor tranquillisers).
The NICE guidelines recommend lorazepam (a benzodiazepine), with haloperidol or olanzapine. If you are given haloperidol at a high dose, you may need an anti-Parkinson's drug to minimise the side effects.
The NICE guidelines also say that rapid tranquillisation may be traumatic, and afterwards you should be given the opportunity to discuss it with hospital staff, and to write your own record of the experience if you wish, to be kept in your hospital notes.

"I want to go to the CrossFit Games"
That was my succinct response to Najla Kayyem's general question, "What are your goals?" Although I didn't know anything about CrossFit, or the grueling training that was necessary in order to actually accomplish my goal, I had already intrinsically committed myself to doing whatever it took to get there.
Shooting for the stars had never been my thing. Prior to SICFIT Scottsdale I had always been content with idly walking through life without ever aspiring to anything great. I was skinny, insecure, and certainly not badass by any means. However, shortly after becoming a member at SICFIT Scottsdale I quickly found myself craving to be something better than ordinary— to be the best I could possibly be. Najla and Luke adopted me into their family almost instantly, and I never wanted to leave. I was entranced by the hulking "fire breathers" tossing around mind-blowing amounts of weight like it was nothing. Watching people push themselves daily to their absolute limits while being cheered and pushed on by their surrounding classmates captivated and excited me. It was like the ultimate "self-betterment" institute and I wanted to be fully immersed in it at all times.
Looking back I couldn't have possibly imagined the holistic benefits I would reap from doing CrossFit. I could never have imagined I would become the top athlete in the gym after only a year, or that I would win competitions. I also could have never imagined that by doing CrossFit I would acquire confidence, poise, and an applied dedication in all aspects of my life. I can honestly say that I am a better man thanks to SICFIT Scottsdale (can you say that about your gym?).
What makes SICFIT Scottsdale better than any other gym in the state? I could go on and on about the top-notch facilities or the "dialed-in" programming, or even the coaching. But what really makes SICFIT Scottsdale the best is the people. In what other setting could your gym owner be simultaneously your second father, close friend and training partner? Luke Kayyem is that man for me. SICFIT Scottsdale is a home away from home for me, a place where I can just to hang out. It is a place where I can go to be pushed by those around me to be better than ordinary.
Although I am still far from my ultimate goal of going to the CrossFit Games, I could not be more excited for the journey ahead.
Basically what it comes down to is results, so here they are in numbers.
March 2012:
Bodyweight: 150 pounds
Squat: 135 pound
Overhead Press: 75 pounds
Bench: 155 pounds
Clean and Jerk: 115 pounds
Snatch: 85 pounds
Fran: scaled 9 minutes
June 2013:
Bodyweight: 183
Squat: 330
Overhead Press: 165
Bench: 265
Clean and Jerk: 265
Snatch: 230
Fran: 2:46
Thank you SICFIT Scottsdale for making me the best me I could possibly be.

Translation and Virginity
September 30, 2014 | by Damion Searls
Remembering Saint Jerome on International Translation Day.
Raise a glass, say a prayer in a language other than Hebrew and Greek, or wear a donkey's ear in your buttonhole: it's International Translation Day, aka the Feast of Saint Jerome, the patron saint of librarians and libraries, schoolchildren, students, Bible scholars, and translators. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin and died in Bethlehem on this day in 419 or 420 A.D.; he single-handedly (so to speak) created the Vulgate, a translation read as the sacred original for some thousand years.
He famously said that you should translate the meaning of the original text, not the words themselves, but translators must have always known this intuitively—even Jerome cites half a dozen predecessors. Because he was one of the early ones, though, he gets the credit, along with Horace, who said the same thing. Jerome made a partial exception for the Bible, whose very word order was a sacred mystery; his balance between the competing demands is what made his translation so good.
He was born in 331 or 347 in the town of Stridon, possibly in what's now northwest Croatia; its only mention in history is Jerome's comment that he was born "in the town of Stridon, now destroyed by the Goths." He was also by far the crabbiest of the Church Fathers, as befits a man who earned sainthood by scholarship and rigorous asceticism, not working with people. As important a theological polemicist as he was a translator, he fired off letter after letter, volume after volume, from his library in Palestine, written in elegant classical Latin studded with choice insults. To someone who questioned his translations, he countered: "What men like you call fidelity in transcription, the learnèd term pestilent minuteness"; a heretic, Pelagius, was "a very stupid dolt weighed down with Scottish porridge."

Mad with Desire (Kind Of)
June 24, 2014 | by Henry Giardina
The peculiarly virginal hero of Orlando innamorato and Orlando furioso.
Love stories center on a problem—two people love each other, or one person loves another, and how are they going to get together? Sex is part of the solution, or usually is. There are, in literature, those strange cases where it isn't.
In the literature of antiquity, sex is almost a last resort for the expression of love, and it seldom ends well. It's the classic pitfall of the Old Testament. The transformations that compose the Metamorphoses are often brought about by sexual peril: Daphne turns into a tree to avoid having sex with Apollo. Syrinx turns into marsh reeds to escape pursuit by Pan. Io is turned into a cow as a bizarre result of having been raped by Zeus. Actaeon, the hunter, is famously turned into one of the very stags he hunts as punishment for seeing Diana naked, and is torn apart by his own dogs. The beautiful youth Hermaphroditus is so repulsed by the idea of erotic contact with a female nymph; she, obsessed, tries to take him by force. She wraps herself around him as he fights her off and prays to the gods to join them as one. And so one they become: a single two-sexed being.
In the realm of myth, sex is transformation, metaphor. Later on, in Arthurian and Carolingian romances, it is the concept of virginity that transforms—and not women's virginity, but men's. For the knights of Arthur's Round Table, undistracted by any real political conflict during the reign of peace, the pursuit of God in grail form is the definitive test of purity. Only the virginal knight Galahad can see the Holy Grail, because of his virginity. "I never felt the kiss of love, / Nor maiden's hand in mine," Tennyson has him admit.
Galahad finds his Carolingian counterpart in Orlando, the idealistic, probably virginal hero in the Matter of France. The fifteenth century's Orlando furioso (and its less-read predecessor, Orlando innamorato) revolves around the physical manifestation of Arthurian religious idealism: the religious wars between the Christian and Islamic worlds. Both stories concern Orlando's doomed pursuit of the seemingly nondenominational Angelica, a woman whose sexuality is so potent that to escape pursuit by nearly everyone she meets, she must turn invisible by the use of a magic ring not unlike Tolkien's. She is much closer to the template Ovid lays out in Metamorphoses, the stalked female relying on bodily transformation to escape abuse, though she is, ostensibly, the villain of the tale.
The Orlando cycle may be, in fact, the epic text most densely populated with imperiled virgins since the Metamorphoses itself. Read More »

Coming to a Close
Category : Keith Doucot , Student Posts
Hello! Well, tomorrow is the start of December. It's pretty crazy how fast we all went from thinking how unbelievable it was that we had already been in Hawaii for 2 weeks to almost having to say that we only have a little over 2 weeks left. This state has brought me an experience unlike any that I expected prior to landing at HNL almost 4 months ago. Scuba diving as been my favorite activity our here, and it's a hobby that I'm very excited to take with me and continue back home–though the water won't be nearly as warm and blue. My most recent dive was probably the best one yet because I got to see so much differing marine life, and some things that I hadn't seen or done before (like spotted eagle rays or holding a sea urchin). Check out some pictures from the dive:
As the end of the semester is coming to a close, everyone seems to have the same split feelings. We all get more and more excited that we're going to be able to see all our friends & family from home, but we have the completely opposite feeling towards leaving this paradise. November has gone by especially fast thanks to all the days that we had no classes. I have no idea how people can try to take in all that Hawaii has to offer in a week-long vacation, because even now I still find myself trying to squeeze in as much Hawaii into these last 2.5 weeks as I can. I'll be making a trip to the Big Island this weekend. I'll finally get to see Hawaii's active volcano along with all of the other awesome sights that the island has to offer.
Looking forward to the rest of what I can get from this semester. Mahalo!

One Direction had a busy Thursday, dealing with the early release of new single and video, "Live While We're Young," its subsequent massive response and performing at the iTunes Festival in London. With their team calling so many audibles in response to the unexpected leak, it's helpful that at least one part of their daily agenda was prerecorded. Before they took the stage, the boys spoke to BBC 1′s Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac, who pried for additional information on the group's upcoming sophomore album, Take Me Home.
"Yeah, I think we are worried it's going to be game over!" Harry Styles joked, when asked about the fears typically associated with the making a second album. "Everyone said the second album's the hardest, so before we started recording we were a bit nervous." Speaking for the rest of group, Harry went on to make a prediction about the outcome of their upcoming November release, which will likely get Directioners squealing. "Yeah it did [feel hard], but I think we had a little bit more experience this time, a bit more input and stuff and I think we have better songs this time and the album should be better."
More input sounds good to us. While One Direction's catalog is predominantly peppy, good-feeling, catchy fun, most of the group's bigger songs feel similar (dare we say formulaic?). It'll be interesting to see if this "input" delivers any new or unexpected sounds and influences, or if all five are totally on board with the Swedish pop phenoms who've helped craft so many of their hits.
Up All Night features three songs co-written by the boys ("Taken," "Everything About You" and Same Mistakes") while the majority of the album consists of material from heavyweights of the songwriting world: Steve Mac, Ed Sheeran, Savan Kotecha and Rami Yacoub. The latter two are also responsible for "Live While We're Young" (along with Carl Falk). No word on whether that's the "cracking" song Niall Horan raved about earlier this summer, but we'd certainly be OK with giving the track that label until we find out for sure. It's been less than 24 hours and we've already listened to "Live While We're Young" a good 10 times, sending it around to all our friends and enemies. Kill 'em with kindness! And wet Zayn videos.

So Richard Sherman just made a perfect defensive maneuver and bats the ball to his teammate for a game winning interception. After which, he gives Michael Crabtree a friendly (probably not so friendly though) pat on the rear......more of a taunt. Crabtree gives Sherman a stiffarm shove to the face, they exchange words and then there's this post game interview with Sherman......absolutely CLASSIC.
Sherman: "Well, I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry thing like Crabtree, that's the result you gonna get. Don't you ever talk about me. {Interviewer: "Who was talking about you?"}
Sherman: "CRABTREE! Don't you open your mouth about the best or Ima stand up on you real quick....L.O.B.!"

California wildfires in San Diego are filling the air here with smoke, flames, and fear. Due to the wildfires, California Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in San Diego County. According to the latest live report by San Diego's 10News on Wednesday, May 14, more homes have been ordered to evacuate, and many people are wondering, will we be next?
For the past three days, San Diegans have experienced relentless and gusty Santa Ana winds coming from the desert bringing high temperatures and summer heat into San Diego. Usually, San Diegans experience "May gray" this time of the year with cool winds and fog coming from the ocean. But not this year. Record-breaking temperatures in May are reaching into the upper 90s. Tomorrow's forecast is in the 100s here in the inland valleys, about 15 minutes east from downtown San Diego.
The mix of insufficient rain during the winter and now the unusual hot and dry Santa Ana winds coming from the desert has turned San Diego here into a dry and brittle pile of kindling. Santa Ana winds, also known as "devil winds" in Southern California, can blow at more than 100 miles per hour. Being hot and dry, it takes little to set that kindling on fire.
Unlike other big cities, San Diego does not consist of high-rise buildings or houses build of bricks because of the earthquake danger. The houses here are mainly made of wood (which moves in an earthquake), and the houses are located in nature. What makes San Diego so beautiful is what makes San Diego so dangerous right now – and living in a brittle pile of kindling is no fun at the moment.
Yesterday, two fires broke out within a 20-minute distance from here knocking out the power to the auto mechanic (so much for getting your car fixed) and sending the vet to take care of some horses and goats that needed to be rescued. By 6 a.m., this morning, a 40-foot Eucalyptus tree broke at the stem after the gusty Santa Ana winds (which are strongest in the early morning hours) send it crushing down onto the roof right over your head. What a way to wake up!
But none of the two fires in San Diego's East County are comparable to the seven fires that are burning about 30 minutes north of here. As of tonight, 600 more homes have been ordered to evacuate. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has issued roughly 600 new mandatory evacuation notifications in the Elfin Forest, Indian Ridge Road, Crestwind Road, Wilgen Drive and Bresa De Loma Drive areas in San Marcos.
The San Diego County Emergency website reports that as of 9:30 p.m. on May 14, the "Bernardo Fire in San Diego and Rancho Santa Fe is at 1,548 Acres with 50 percent containment. The incident is under Unified Command between CAL FIRE, San Diego Fire Rescue and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department."
The "Cocos Fire in San Marcos is at 450 Acres with no containment. Five structures were destroyed and two structures were damaged. The incident is under Unified Command between CAL FIRE, San Marcos Fire Department and Elfin Forest. The evacuation order is still in effect."
The "Highway Fire in Deer Springs [10 minutes east from here] is at 600 Acres with 5 percent containment. Evacuations have been lifted for this incident."
California Wildfires Fact Sheet presented at an 8:30 p.m. news conference at San Diego's County Emergency Operations Center reports that the nine fires have destroyed 10 structures in the Poinsettia fire. The Poinsettia Fire burned 400 acres, the Tomahawk Fire burned 6,000 acres, the Highway Fire burned 600 acres, the Bernardo Fire burned 1,548 acres, the Freeway/Pendleton Fire burned 30 acres, the San Marcos/Cocos Fire burned 500 acres, and the River/Oceanside Fire burned 100 acres – so far. There have been "121,878 Alert San Diego contacts to alert residents to evacuate or prepare to evacuate."
When ordered to evacuate, make sure your windows and doors are closed. Dry embers have set some of the houses on fire because sparks flew inside.Tomorrow, 28 school districts have closed their schools, and San Marco State University has canceled their graduation ceremony planned for Friday.
Firefighters are relentlessly fighting through the night to save San Diego, its residents, and its beloved pets. The Helen Woodward Animal Center had to evacuate most of its shelter animals. Only a few hospitalized horses were kept on location. As of Wednesday night, the flames and smoke are going straight up rather than speeding across the dry and dangerous pile of kindling called San Diego, meaning that the Santa Ana winds have calmed down. According to the latest weather report, the winds are supposed to stay calm giving firefighters a chance to do their job. It is because of those fire-fighting men and women that some residents are able to return back to their homes with everything else burned around them – thank you firefighters.

Vera Wang "Ethel" is a strapless stretch silk mikado mermaid gown with draped bodice, swirling tissue organza flanges on skirt. This dress was worn to my inside carpeted wedding in March 2013 for 5 hours. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on this dress! This was my dream dress and I felt so beautiful and comfortable in it, I did not want to take it off at the end of the night. The dress is in a like-new condition. It was purchased at the Vera Wang Bridal House on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, NY and includes certificate of authenticity.
"Ethel flirts more with couture than other dresses in the collection by showcasing a mastery of cutting and folding. Each swirling tissue organza flange of the skirt is hand-cut. The look: incredibly romantic despite the lack of beading, lace or petticoats. Additionally Ethel is made of a new fabric of stretch Mikado, allowing innovation in form." – Vera Wang
This dress will fit any venue.
I added a bustle and sewn in cups to the dress. The bottom of the dress has been folded over and hand-sewn to make it shorter. I'm 5'8" and knew I wanted to wear flats for the majority of the wedding, but the layers made it look good with heels on too. The bottom layers can be let out to accommodate your height / heels up to 6′. The dress is otherwise unaltered and in perfect condition. All alterations have been made at the Alteration Master in NYC.
I will be including cathedral-length veil with small sewn-in pearls and a blusher with your purchase. Available for additional price is a Vera Wang Vanilla Sash with Crystals and Pearls in excellent condition (retails for $1200+tax).
I'm getting the dress professionally cleaned and preserved as I write this. I inspected the dress before I sent it to the cleaners, and it did not have any stains on it, except dust in the bottom layers of the dress.

The Asian, or water, buffalo is a native of India and other parts of Asia. Measuring up to 1.8 m (6 ft) at the shoulder, the water buffalo has thick horns that sweep in an outward curve back toward the shoulders and may extend up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) from tip to tip. Broad, splayed feet enable the animal to live in a marshy habitat. The water buffalo has short, stiff, scanty hair, and a large portion of the hide is bare and glossy. In the wild, the water buffalo is dangerous if aroused. The animal has been domesticated, however, and has been used as a draft animal since ancient times. In the Philippines the water buffalo is known as the carabao. Another Asian buffalo is the tamarau, a small, hairy variety of water buffalo. Native to the Philippine island of Mindoro, this animal is only about 1.1 m (about 3.5 ft) high at the shoulder. Two rare, related species live on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes).
African buffalo include the cape buffalo and the dwarf forest buffalo; both are different forms of the same species. The cape buffalo, which inhabits most of southern and central Africa, is large, measuring about 1.7 m (about 5.5 ft) at the shoulder. It is noted for horns that are massive at the base, forming a helmet over the forehead and reaching a length of about 1 m (about 3 ft). The dwarf forest buffalo lives in forest areas of central and western Africa. About 1.1 m (about 3.5 ft) high, it has a red hide and backward-curving horns about 76 cm (about 30 in) long.
Scientific classification: Buffalo belong to the family Bovidae, subfamily Bovinae. The Asian buffalo is classified as Bubalus bubalis, the tamarau as Bubalus mindorensis. The cape buffalo and the dwarf forest buffalo are different forms of Syncerus caffer.
Competition for food sources by non-native species such as goats and cattle have challenged the native African grazers. However, the introduction of foreign diseases from non-native species remains the biggest threat. Currently the national parks of Africa are taking great steps to protect their native wildlife against Bovine Tuberculosis. While this does not have a serious effect on domestic cattle it can decimate the herds of cape buffalo and their prey species such as lion and hyena.

Gary Shaw Productions presents, ESPN "Friday Night Fights" March 7th at the Pala Casino Spa and Resort in Pala, California. The card is headlined by the rejuvenated Russian warrior and top Lightweight contender, Rustam Nugaev as he takes on Mexico's Marvin Quintero in a 10-round lightweight tilt. The bout will go a long way in deciding the next potential title challenger at 135lbs.
Nugaev (26-6-1, 16KOs) is riding a five fight win streak -- four of which stem from his 2013 campaign -- and has revived his career after not competing in 2012. He is certainly knocking on the door of a title shot and a win against Quintero (25-4, 21KOs), who is coming off a loss at the hands of IBF lightweight champion Miguel Vazquez, would propel him that much closer. Nugaev is currently ranked WBA # 3, WBC # 7 and IBF # 9.
Nugaev has been in the ring with some stiff competition and this stage should offer some familiarity. That advantage will make him dangerous. He defeated former undefeated Peruvian star, Jonathan Maicelo and Daniel Attah in 2013, both by knockout. His approach in the ring is somewhat unconventional, but he is always determined to make great fights and puts himself in a position to stop his opponents.
While the full card isn't quite set, Gary Shaw is confident in the action provided thus far.
"You don't have to appreciate boxing to enjoy the kind of excitement expected on March 7th, said Gary Shaw in an e-mail to Examiner.com. "The main event involves two fighters that always come to fight. The style matchup will be pleasing to the fans. But the stakes are higher for both Rustam and Marvin, which makes me believe the degree of action could be raised as well."
"Rustam Nugaev is on the fast track to the top of his division, he is fun to watch and I think we've matched him with the perfect opponent to display his full potential," Shaw concluded.

I am trying to get my domain to point to my server correctly. In my domain manager I had to register a custom nameserver (instead of just pointing it to the IP for some reason), which I did as ns1.mydomain and ns2.mydomain. I then in windows server setup the DNS role and configured DNS manager with the two forward lookup zomes and set their host(a) to their respective IPs.
When I lookup my domain I don't get anything (I configured this over 24 hours ago), however if I go to ns1.mydomain I get the IIS welcome page (expected).
This is my first time setting up a windows box so I think I am just missing a step which is obvious.
any help is greatly appreciated

Can't decide if you want an airplane, a helicopter, or a flying car? Then why not all three at once? Arizona-based start-up Krossblade seems to think the same way with its SkyCruiser concept – an electric hybrid aircraft that not only switches between being an airplane and a quadcopter, but can be driven on the road as well.Read More
At the intersection of the motorcycle and the gyrocopter lives the flying motorcycle – combining the easy, cheap and safe flying abilities of the gyro with the loose road registration requirements of the motorbike. These quirky machines have been around for some time, but Californian inventor Dezso Molnar is trying to give the segment a kick in the pants. He's well into the development of his next-generation G2 bike, which is powered by a 162-horsepower GSX-R1000 motorcycle engine, uses a tilting two-wheel front end, and has been tested at a whopping 138 mph on the salt flats. On top of plans to get this thing airborne in the coming months, he's also looking at putting together a race series for flying cars and bikes, in the interests of accelerating development for all the different ideas out there.Read More
Greg Brown and Dave Fawcett are working on an design that they hope will yield something we've spent decades waiting for – a flying jet-propelled car. A sleek cross between a business jet with a luxury automobile, the GF7 drives on electric motors while on the ground, then can extend wings and use a 3,500-lb thrust jet engine to fly to 38,000 ft (12,000 m) and speeds of 550 mph (885 km/h). The (obvious) catch: if this ambitious project does get of the ground, it won't come cheap.Read More
Advanced Tactics Inc. has now received permission from the US government to release video footage showing the first test flight of its Black Knight Transformer prototype demonstrator.Read More
Following on from driving tests that wound up in December last year, the Black Knight Transformer prototype demonstrator has taken to the air for the first time. California-based Advanced Tactics, Inc., announced its vehicle, which combines the capabilities of a helicopter and an off-road vehicle, completed its first flight tests last month, being remotely piloted at an undisclosed location in Southern California.Read More
When someone mentions flying cars it conjures up images of a sporty little number that takes to the air like something out of the Jetsons. But what about one that's a cross between a 4x4, an octocopter, and a Blackhawk helicopter? That's what Advanced Tactics of El Segundo, California is seeing with its ambitions to produce a roadable VTOL aircraft capable of unmanned autonomous operations as a more flexible way to recover casualties, move supplies, and support special forces.Read More
The average concept car experiments with styling, technology and packaging to explore potential new ideas. Some concept cars take it a few steps further, not just rethinking the car but redefining what a car is and exploring ideas that could completely revolutionize the way we get from point A to point B. From vehicles that drive themselves, to cars that fly and fold, some of 2013's most interesting concept cars provided a lens into a very different future. Read More
Zee.Aero, a small company located near the GooglePlex, home to Google, is working on a flying car concept that can take off and land vertically using a plethora of small electric motors turning four-bladed propellers. According to illustrations included with the patent filings, one version of the vehicle is narrow enough to fit into a standard shopping center parking space. Read More
Back in 2008, we heard about a parasail-equipped dune buggy, known as the Parajet Skycar. It could scramble over rough ground like a true off-roader, but then take to the skies when needed. One epic 6,000-km (3,728-mile) drive/flight from London to Tombouctou later, its creators got some ideas about how the design could be improved. The result is the lighter, better-flying and less-polluting SkyRunner – and you can order one now. Read More
There is a saying in flying: "If it looks good, it will fly well." Stefan Klein, a designer from the Slovak Republic, has announced the first flight of his Aeromobil Version 2.5, a flying car prototype he has been developing over the last 20 years. This vehicle is a strikingly beautiful design with folding wings and a propeller in the tail. But will its flight capabilities match its looks?Read More

I am working for an Apple Premium Reseller and we are looking for the best way to deploy installations Snow Leopard and newer. Before I started looking into this, we were using the retail version of Snow Leopard (10.6.3 via DVD) and 10.7/10.8 from MAS (first available builds).
Currently we are able to install 10.7, 10.7.5, 10.8 and 10.8.3 from our Mac mini server (using NetInstall) without any problems on all supported Macs.
Unfortunately it isn't that easy with Snow Leopard. The most recent retail version is 10.6.3, but will only work on Macs that shipped with a build lower than 10D575 which excludes some machines from 2010 and 2011 since they shipped with 10.6.4 or 10.6.7...
Now I'm looking for the best way to solve that problem. I've set up a NetInstall image for the machines from 2010 using a 10.6.4 dvd (build 10F2108) and another one for the machines from 2011 using a 10.6.6 dvd (build 10J4139).
The build numbers are listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I read it should be possible to make a 10.6.7 universal installer (from a iMac 2011 10.6.7 dvd)—maybe we could drop the other images then.
But how about NetRestore? What if I installed retail 10.6.3 on an older machine (e.g. from 2009), then update it to 10.6.8 and maybe install all updates? Couldn't I simply delete the user account I'll have to create and get back to the setup screen and make a NetRestore then?
How would you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Ben.

We want to learn about their methods and educate them on a safer way of using the STILL-ON Penis Stretching System.

Broadway in Richmond's production of "Wicked" stuns and sparkles. From curtain up to curtain down, "Wicked" pulls the audience in and demands attention.
"Wicked" is the "untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West" – and provides plenty of references and innuendo to the original Oz story to satisfy any Dorothy fan. This story line focuses on the early life and defining moments of Elphaba – the Wicked Witch of the West – and her relationship with Glinda, the Good.
Emma Hunton shines as Elphaba, and truly defied all expectations. Musically speaking, it's a difficult role to play, and she did it with ease and incredible vocal strength (as seen and heard in her version of "Defying Gravity"). Gina Beck fills the role of Glinda with a flawless amount of bounce and ditz – she was quite simply perfect. Her rendition of "Popular" is by far one of the highlights of the show.
As someone that has seen "Wicked" in Richmond three times now, I will say this is the best it's been done yet. This is a "do-not-miss-out" show!
"Wicked" runs through May 4, 2014 at the Altria Theater (formerly the Landmark Theater). Tickets are still available but they are definitely in high demand, so I urge you to not wait. Tickets can be purchased online.

Reviews for Cinnamon Peach Kuchen
"I made this for my husband who loves peaches. It was delicious. This recipe will become a regular in our house!!"
"I thought this recipe turned out very well. I used sliced peaches that I had frozen. In contrast to others, I would have liked a little more of the custard. It was delicious."
"What a lovely recipe. Perfect choice for our local fresh peaches.The crust reminds me of a very rich shortbread. Rich and flakey. I did cut back on the amount of sugar after reading several reviews. Even though my peaches were fresh the reduction did not hamper this recipe at all.Another thing I reduced was the amount of topping.Fabulous recipe worthy of the 5 star rating."
"This is a very nice recipe. Just a little too sweet for my taste though, so when I make it again I will decrease the amount of brown sugar. Other than that it's great, and very simple to make. The crust is fabulous, and I will be using it on other pie recipes as well. Even though it's a little too sweet it still gets 5 stars! Excellent recipe!"
"we absolutely love LOVE this recipe. So so good, we make it again and again."

Klitschko Movie Reviews
User reviews on Klitschko
I really liked this doc**entary and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film is straight-forward and there is absolutely no nonsense in it and I really appreciate that in doc**entaries. I liked that the director examined the relationship between the brothers, it was very interesting to watch. I also liked that the film had a slow pace and really examined the subjects and their sate of mind, that is how a good doc**entary is made. I do have to say that the opening scenes were kind of confusing and the ending was not the best, otherwise the film was nearly perfect and had a great time watching it.

The Schooner J. & E. Riggin
Rockland, ME 04841
Phone: 207-594-1875
A multiday windjammer sail is a treat for the sea lover, and the palate, aboard the Riggin, a National Historic Landmark built in 1929 as an oyster dredger. Captain Jon Finger usually mans the wheel, while his wife, Captain Annie Mahle, a food columnist and well-known cookbook author, prepares from-scratch meals with ingredients often sourced from their home gardens. Voted Best Windjammer Fare.
Dining aboard the J. & E. Riggin, however—a former oyster dredger that once sailed Delaware Bay and now co-captained by husband and wife Jon Finger and Annie Mahle—is both a scenic journey and a culinary getaway. Captain Jon focuses on smooth sailing, while Captain Annie conjures magic belowdecks.
Most of the ingredients come from local Maine farms (including the co-captains' own home garden), as well as the waters in which the J. & E. Riggin sails. On our trip we savored a slow-roasted turkey confit with hearty, earthy root vegetables and freshly baked flatbread—a beautiful meal anywhere.
Go sailing on the Schooner J. & E. Riggin to see just how wonderful cruising on an authentic 120-foot-long windjammer can be. Raise the big canvas sails above the 23-foot-wide deck, and glide across beautiful, protected Penobscot Bay just the way old coasting schooners did a century ago. Chart your course among unspoiled islands and spend quiet nights in hidden coves where the stars are the only outdoor lighting. Sail to bustling fishing villages and visit storied seaside resorts. In the evenings, dine family-style on fresh-baked breads and hearty roasts made by the chef-owners, Jon Finger and Anne Marble.

Description of task
The FreeBSD ports collection consists of a variety of ported software which come with very different licenses. People/companies who are using the ports collection may sometimes opt to not accept/use ports that has a certain license clause in them that they do not find acceptable. The new license infrastructure allows people set explicitly set which licenses they want to accept and which one to deny, which results in the port not being installed. This license infrastructure is fairly new and has not been documented in the porters handbook yet. The following wiki page has more information on this license infrastructure: http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsLicenseInfrastructure
The task is to convert the relevant parts of that wiki page into a new section of the porters handbook explaining what porters have to do in order to make new ports use this new license infrastructure. When adding these instructions (and possibly examples) to the porters handbook, the source code needs to be correctly formatted and must conform to our documentation source code style guidelines.
Task requires:
A FreeBSD system (in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine) installed on your computer.
Knowledge of the documentation guidelines for the FreeBSD project: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/

Uncharted ?
Just finished playing through the first game ( on hard ) and what a totally awsemone game. Game play, puzzles,and story was great.
Just wondering what you guys/girls thought of the second one! ( Uncharted 2)
Personally I liked the story,however the game play seemed to easy. I know it's an older game, however it takes away from the original quality of the original. The first game was difficult, the second was rather easy.
Just wondering did you think the first one was better than the second one?
If you have any recommendations for PS3 games, I'm all ears.

I am a big fan of both of the unchartered games. Which is suprising in itself as i couldn't get on with any of the lara croft games. I don't think i finished any of them.
It's been a long time since i played them and can't remember if the second one was easier than the first one. I know i only finished the first one on the medium setting so +1 for that mate

Great games, so pumped for Drake's Deception
Found the difficulty was ok on both but then I do my first run on the easiest setting as I just like to chill and enjoy the story, and the 2nd on crushing which is a bit harder.
I find any game with a cover system and regenerating health to be too easy though.

Ive played a demo of the second one and totally loved it, only thing is i have so many games at the moment so its on my to buy list for the future

Did not find either game too taxing, though i do not think i bothered with the first game other than normal.
Admittedly 2nd game is probably too easy as its the only game i have plat trophy.
Good games though probably two of the best of this generation for any platform.

When I use top to see memory usage, I have 65gb ram but only 1.3gb of it free and remaining is shown as used. When I ran my program It gives memory insufficiency error. Although no other program is using the remaining 63.7gb ram it is hold. how can I get free the unused ram?
Too many duplicates to list. But long story short, the memory is in use as cache and buffers, and will be freed as applications consume more real memory.
If you want the memory not to be used, take it out of the computer and sit it on your desk.
There is a common misunderstanding that free RAM is good. Actually, every byte of RAM that is free represents a failure of the system to make effective use of that RAM. Free RAM won't make your system any faster.
Consider a grossly oversimplified scenario. A program runs, and then finishes. Your operating system has two choices:
1) It could make the memory that held the program free. This requires a specific operation to make it free, and a specific operation to allow it to be used again. And if the program runs again, it will have to be loaded in from disk.
2) It could not make the memory that held the program free. This requires no operation to make it free, but a specific operation might be needed later to move it to another use. And if the program runs again, it will not have to be loaded in from disk.
So, under most conditions, option 2 is a pure win. It saves an operation if the memory needs to be used for something else (it can just switch from one use to another in one step rather than two steps, one to make it free and one to make it not free). And it may save the program from having to be loaded in from disk, which would be a huge win.
So, the short version is, you don't want free RAM.
The +/- buffers line is your actual memory usage. What program are you trying to run? It's very possible that it's not actually a lack of available memory, but some other issue.
Are you perhaps running a 32 bit operating system in PAE mode on this machine? Your application may want more than 2GB of virtual address space, which PAE cannot provide. (A kernel recompile can bump that up to 3GB, but you really are better off going to 64 bit if that's the case.)
Try :
this will instantly release a lot of memory.

LAKEWOOD — Interim head coach Tony Barba knew the Dakota Ridge softball team could be heading into a trap on Oct. 2 at Bear Creek. But the Eagles were ready and that trap was never sprung as Dakota Ridge hit, pitched and fielded at a high level and thrashed the Bear Creek Bears, 16-0.
"They knew what's at stake. This is one of those games that's a trap game so they just came in here and took care of business, got everyone some playing time and got out of here," Barba said.
LAFAYETTE — Cody Schneider and Ryan Muller scored two touchdowns each and Monarch trumped Dakota Ridge, 35-16, in varsity football action on Oct. 1.
LAKEWOOD — Typically, one will find Collin Shampine playing defense for the Chatfield Chargers. But for multiple reasons — disciplinary, injuries and so forth — Chatfield head coach Brock Blume had to move the lanky junior up into the offensive set.
The following are results from the Dave Sanders Invitational high school cross country meet on Oct. 1 at Clement Park:
LAKEWOOD — Cameron McDondle may never score a sweeter touchdown than the last one he scored on Oct. 1 at Jefferson County Stadium. That's unless he scores one that results in the Columbine Rebels hoisting the 5A state championship trophy.
LAKEWOOD — Cameron McDondle and Dakota Ferrell ran for two touchdowns each and Justin Brown added a 46-yard score as Columbine remained unbeaten with a 38-14 win over Poudre at Jefferson County Stadium.
There are many reasons why Jensen Teague is Chatfield's No. 1 singles player. His drop shot was falling. He was spraying the back line routinely. The cross-court, the forehand and the overhead, all were working.
BROOMFIELD — Rachael Lenz was tired. It was one of those weeks for the Chatfield cross country runner.
LAKEWOOD — The Dakota Ridge football team was missing a big part of its offense heading into its Sept. 24 matchup with Green Mountain.
William Kincaid considered the all-pavement course that was the Liberty Bell Invitational an easy course. It just wasn't easy for him, considering it was mostly all downhill. But, as he said, he's obviously getting better at running those.

Ive just bought the top end ATI Radeon card with 2 normal monitor ports and a HDMI.
The idea was to continue using my dual screen setup as always and to use the last plug, the HDMI on my TV. I got a new 52 inch HD TV with all the necessary bits. This should work fine.
But.. in Display Properties I still get only my 2 monitors up as options. Not the Digital TV.
When I unplug 1 monitor and restart the computer, I get the TV and the other monitor. But never all 3 at the same time. Why is this ? Where can I go to tell it that I need all 3 screens at the same time.
Also I get a message saying my gfx card also gives sound through the HDMI cable.. But the TV tells me its recieving a sound format that it does not understand. Any ideas on that too while were at it ?

POWER6 Goes Thud: Part VII
By jmeyer on Nov 20, 2007
Still Missing After Six Months ...
It's been three long months since my last blog entry (shame on me!). And once again, I've been criss-crossing the country evangelizing SPARC. I've also pledged to dedicate more time talking about SPARC developments in this blog going forward, since there's so much to talk about. So it's time for a nice long Thanksgiving break, but before I take off, I had to take one more advantage of IBM's slip-ups and update you on something I know IBM will be loathe to remind you of.
Today marks the semi-anniversary of their failure to deliver on their POWER6 announcement. Once again, here's what the POWER6-upgradable server line looked like on May 21, 2007 and still looks like today, HALF A YEAR LATER:
Yes, I'm well aware of their announcement of the new JS22 blade, but I don't count fractions of servers here. At 4 DIMM slots, one disk drive, one PCIe slot, and no on-board environmental monitoring, it's at most half a blade server\*. And true to form, IBM announced it months before you can actually buy it.
And what about POWER6 performance? You would think that after all this time, and after all of IBM's marketing hype about sky-high clock frequencies, they would have some numbers to show for it. Not so. The masked, enigmatic BMSeer has, over the last six months, debunked the more outrageous performance claims made by IBM's benchmarketing machine, and recently pointed out all of the benchmarks IBM is terrified to run on POWER6, even after half a year.
Contrast that with the performance leadership of the Sun SPARC Enterprise (a.k.a. "APL") servers. Since announcement, we've set 36 world performance records on these systems, 13 of which are still current at the time of this writing. The new UltraSPARC™ T2-based Sun SPARC Enterprise T5x20 servers alone have set 9 of them.
And we're not cherry-picking, either. I'm talking about a wide variety of workloads: CPU performance (best single-chip SPECint_rate2006 and SPECfp_rate2006 results), bandwidth (best STREAM results), web server (best SPECweb2005 results), app server (best SPECjAppServer2004 results), Java (best SPECjbb2005 results), cryptography (37,000 RSA 1024-bit signs/sec and up to 38.9 Gbit/sec of AES-128 throughput), SAP (best single-socket SAP SD 2-tier result and best 16-processor SAP SD two-tier result), database (best iGEN-OLTP results), and HPC (best LINPACK result, best SPECompL2001 result, best 32-thread SPECompM2001 result, and best single-chip SPECompM2001 result).
This last one is especially important, because if there's one area where a high-frequency single-threaded performer should beat SPARC, it should be the HPC apps. So why did we beat IBM's best POWER6 LINPACK result by 12% with our Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000? And, as reported in a recent internetnews.com article, if almost half of the supercomputers in the Top 500 list belong to IBM, how come not a single one is a POWER5- or POWER6-based system? "IBM did this because it needed a cooler chip [the older, slower PowerPC 440 chip] to achieve the density required ..."
There's another problem with this interminable schedule slip. IBM's own customers tell us that they are fed up with waiting so long for IBM to fill out a product line that requires re-qualifying, re-testing, and re-certifying in their datacenters with each new chip generation, only to have that generation end a year or two after the gaping holes in the product line are filled.
I'll re-iterate that Sun announced the Sun SPARC Enterprise server line in its entirety in April and that we achieved revenue release and general availability of the entire product line within a few weeks of each other in the last couple of months. That is clearly the record of a product line that's ready for mission-critical deployment. That's ready for prime time.
So why can't IBM do something with POWER6 that we do all the time with SPARC? Simple: they are struggling with power and cooling issues brought on by a disastrous decision made years ago to persue clock frequency at all costs. But as the rest of the industry has figured out, scaling performance with clock frequency is an evolutionary dead-end. And if you're dazzled by the performance numbers claimed by IBM's benchmarketers (despite their shenanigans), you'll have plenty of time to get familiar with them. POWER6 can only offer further small incremental performance gains from ever-more-ridiculous clock frequencies, and I'll believe rumors about a quad-core POWER6 when I see it. POWER7 isn't due until 2010 or 2011 at least and there's no indication that it will make any serious break from the design mistakes of the past. In contrast, by my count, Sun will be introducing at least six new processor upgrades in three binary-compatible SPARC product lines in the same period of time, each targeted to optimizing different application workloads.
When will IBM understand that betting against threads is like betting against Internet bandwidth a decade ago? It's tough to say. They've made statements before that they get this ("You'll see us go more aggressively against threads"), but recently backed out of plans to introduce a massively-threaded processor. Perhaps they figured out that it's a very hard thing to get right. Or maybe they found themselves spending too much time gingerly stepping around the over 100 patents that Sun has on the technology.
So I'm going to make some Thanksgiving-day predictions:
- It will be well into 2008 before IBM can fix its manufacturing problems around POWER6 and deliver a high end. This may be a no-brainer, I know, but the question is: will it be closer to the beginning of the year, or closer to the one-year anniversary of the announcement (or longer)? And I said deliver, not just issue a press release.
- IBM will not be able to manufacture a single- or dual-socket POWER6 rackmount server to follow the p505, p510, or p520 for power and cooling reasons. Instead, they will be forced into underpowered blades like the JS22, or into gargantuan dual-wide blades just to get anything like volume production on POWER6 and to get a server capable of doing any useful I/O. There is another motivation here, and that's to force customers into a proprietary lock-in with IBM's aging BladeCenter chassis.
- There will never be a meaningful POWER6 processor family dedicated to optimizing different datacenter workloads. IBM will have to continue to position a single POWER implementation as a one-size-fits-all solution to their customer's computing needs for the foreseeable future.
- The "Sun leads, IBM follows" technology story around processors and systems will continue, just as it has around AIX and UNIX virtualization.
Sun hasn't had such such a phenomenal competitive advantage over Big Blue in many years. And that's something to be truly thankful for this season.
Happy Thanksgiving!
\* Compare to Sun's new Sun Blade T6320: 8 cores vs. IBM's 4; 16 DIMM slots vs. IBM's 4; 64 hardware threads vs. IBM's 4; 4 hot-pluggable disks vs. IBM's 1 non hot-pluggable; 4 PCIe slots vs. IBM's 1. Don't be fooled by IBM's claim of supporting 32GB on this thing; you'd have to mortgage the Taj Mahal to pay for 8GB DIMMs today.

After defeating the Brevard County Manatees on Monday night the Tampa Yankees were back at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Tuesday evening with RHP Rafael De Paula (ERA 2.33) taking the mound for the Yanks. But, the T-Yanks were unable to regain the lead and dropped to the Manatees 2-1.
In the bottom of the 4th inning, Dante Bichette helped Tampa get on the board first as he grounded in to a forced out sending Cito Culver home and putting the Yanks up 1-0.
In the top of the 5th, the Manatees tacked on their first run tying the game at 1. De Paula pitched 5 innings allowing 2 hits and 1 run; striking out 6 batters. LHP Evan Rutckyj (ERA 0.00) pitched a no hit 6th inning striking out 2 batters. With a tied ballgame Dietrich Enns (ERA 1.50) pitched the 7th and 8th innings allowing Brevard County to score the second run of the game and take a – lead.
Though RHP Kyle Haynes (ERA 1.80) pitched a solid 9th inning, the offense just didn't have enough to overcome the one run deficit. Enns is charged with the loss (2-1).
The Tampa Yankees will take on the Brevard County Manatees on Wednesday night at 7:00pm with LHP Dan Camarena (ERA 4.50, 0-2) taking the start for Tampa.
