A baby was 'frozen' for four days to keep him alive. Edward Ives had just a five per cent chance of survival as his heart was racing at more than 300 beats a minute.
So doctors tried to force it to slow down by lowering his temperature.
The newborn's parents nervously watched as their son lay sedated and cold to the touch – wrapped up in a blanket filled with cooling gel.
But the pioneering treatment worked and, on the evening of the fourth day, his heartbeat finally became normal.
'It was horrible to see him lying there, freezing in nothing but a nappy,' said mother Claire Ives, 29. 'It looked like he was dead.
'All I wanted to do was scoop him up and give him a warm cuddle. I just had to keep reminding myself that it was saving his life.'
Mrs Ives, a nurse, first guessed something was wrong with Edward when she was 35 weeks pregnant and heard his heart beating quickly.
Tests confirmed her suspicions. Her unborn child had supraventricular tachycardia and would need to be delivered immediately.
She and husband Phillip, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, feared the worst.
But after being slowly warmed back up to 37C (98.6F) from 33.3C, Edward left hospital a month after his birth in August at University College London Hospital.
'When I got him home, it felt like a dream come true,' added Mrs Ives.

"Raw Japan" at MUDE, Museum of Design and Fashion in Lisbon, 9 October 2014 – 8 February 2015
October 14, 2014
I'm thrilled that Lisbon's Museu do Design e da Moda, or MUDE, is presenting "Boro: The Fabric of Life" under the title "Raw Japan."
This title represents two exhibitions sharing one, large gallery: the boro show along with Naked Shapes, an ingenious exhibition of largely post-war objects made in Japan using repurposed aluminum scraps.
The two exhibits, each of which was conceived by and debuted at Domaine de Boisbuchet are complementary to each other in so many ways, most essentially in the way that they portray Japanese artistry as pertains the inventive use of recycled materials.
MUDE has named this joint exhibition "Raw Japan" which reinforces the material aspect of the show's objects as well as suggesting an art brut tone which the textiles, especially, embodies.
The boro textiles are largely from my collection and also represent the generous loans from Kei Kawasaki, Naohito Shikama, Amy Katoh and Anna Heringer.
MUDE is a restored bank which accounts for so many of the interior's preserved, luxurious stone materials which provide a stark contrast to the raw treatment of the ceilings and columns. This interior sets the perfect backdrop for both "Boro: The Fabric of Life" and "Naked Shapes."
MUDE plans to publish a catalog on "Raw Japan" which should be available in early November.

For investors unfamiliar with your history with WILD Flavors GmbH, one of the world's leading privately-owned manufacturers of natural ingredients for the food and beverage industry, can you give us a brief overview of the equity and distribution agreement and how WILD plays a key role in your growth strategy?
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
As one of the biggest shareholders and investors in Sunwin Stevia International ( OTCQB : SUWN ), WILD Flavors has been dedicated to the ongoing development and marketing of Sunwin Stevia™. They have had success in gaining customer acceptance of Sunwin's brand, making use of their natural Taste Optimization Technology and excellent resources, especially in European markets. WILD Flavors and Sunwin have been cooperating to create new formulations, adopting advanced technologies to provide products with the best quality and taste. WILD has taken the role as a leader and a collaborator in the international marketing of Sunwin Stevia.
Q: Investorideas.com
Canada recently approved stevia as an ingredient in the food and beverage industry -- how does this impact companies like yours and the future of the industry?
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
Sunwin has been preparing for the possible entry into Canadian markets for quite some time and now has some very good customer resources in place. The approval will allow Sunwin to further expand the scope of its market in North America, strengthen the awareness and promotion of stevia, and increase emerging customers.
Q: Investorideas.com
The company recently announced new high tech manufacturing upgrades in anticipation of future growth -- can you give investors insight as to the capacity of the new production lines and some of the key improvements made?
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
Our new product lines include a high A3 product line, a stevia product line and a granule stevia production line with 500 tons annual capacity each. With the adjustment of relative technique standards, the production is more efficient and the quality of the product is strengthened as well. Take granule products for instance, we adopted the new advanced technical formula from WILD and the efficient boiling granulating technology highly expands the potential industry use of the stevia products.
Q: Investorideas.com
The Company announced in January it is now capable of producing high quality A3-99 stevia products. What are the market opportunities for this stevia extract and how are you targeting them?
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
A3-99 is the highest quality of the REB A products in stevia industry. The ability to produce A3-99 illustrates that Sunwin has made huge progress and a significant break in the stevia manufacturing technique. The biggest difference between A3-99 products and other lower level products is the taste. A3-99 will be targeting customers with high demand for better taste quality.
Q: Investorideas.com
In late November you announced that you have started marketing six of the proprietary formulations developed in conjunction with WILD Flavors, Inc. to food manufacturers in China. What kind of growth opportunities do you see within China?
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
Currently, the Chinese stevia market is in a development period, so the opportunity is still very much in front of us. The 6 formula is not only important for our marketing strategy, but also key to future cooperation with potential new customers. Having a full line of products, formulations and services, is a great competitive advantage for Sunwin as we enter the market.
Q: Investorideas.com
In closing, as a leader in the industry, what are you seeing in terms of new products coming to market using stevia and do you anticipate the overall growth to continue moving forward? (For example, Packaged Facts, a US Research firm estimates the world stevia market between $800m and $2bn in 2011 and industry leaders have predicted that REB A may reach as high as $10bn over the next few years.)
A: Ms. Dongdong Lin, CEO
From a global perspective, as a new natural sweetener, stevia is becoming familiar and accepted by a growing number of organizations and consumers. We are seeing it in beverages, baking, ice cream and new products are announced all the time.
The market has increased substantially by the approval for stevia in the EU and Canada. We are very optimistic about the continuing growth of stevia products and look forward to new countries approving its use .The potential global stevia market and business opportunity is bigger than we ever imagined years ago when we were first started producing and marketing our lines.

LAHAINA - What makes a pretty good bookstore is a decent selection of books, a willingness to make suggestions and a friendly atmosphere.
Jo Ann Carroll, chatty, laughter-loving impresario of the Maui Friends of the Library Bookstore at The Wharf Cinema Center and former owner of the Old Book Emporium, should know. She has worked at or run six different bookstores and is adding a seventh.
Like many a former Mainlander, Jo Ann's start in Hawaii began after a life-changing event: a divorce.
Article Photos
Jo Ann Carroll has been selling books for decades.
Growing up in a wealthy community called La Canada, Carroll made her way to Kona on Hawaii Island 38 years ago, moving in with a sister.
Like many other newcomers, she began in the restaurant business as a short order cook. At Buzz's (a cousin of Maui's Buzz's Wharf), she made more sandwiches than she could count and learned to cook Portuguese bean soup
Does she still make it?
"Yeah, I do," she said, in a chatty style that has become her hallmark during years conversing with book lovers.
After work, she continued, "I'd run down the street to work at without a doubt one of the best bookstores ever by a man who really knew books. It was astonishing. When people came in, he was really funny. He would say, 'I don't read books.' "
What did she do there? "As little as possible," she joked.
Retreating back to the Mainland for three years, Carroll learned she was in the wrong place. It was the extremes. "It was either too hot or too cold, so I moved to Oahu and worked at Waldenbooks' Kahala store. It was a million dollar store."
At Booklines - now Hawaii's premier book distributor of books, started by a guy who used to sell them from the trunk of his car - Jo Ann worked in the office. She later moved to Maui to become a Booklines sales rep. "I hated it," she said.
The Booklines owner ended up acquiring Upstart Crow, later known as Whalers Bookstore, and brought Jo Ann in to run it. "You could buy wine, cheese and great sandwiches there. I ran that for five years and by 1995 had built it up. It was great fun but didn't last.
"After that," she continued, "I didn't want a regular job. I had 2,000 books at home, so I opened my own store in Wailuku. Carroll also worked with good friend Barbara Long to - as she puts it - "help beautify Wailuku." Long owned a property in Lahaina and offered a reasonable rent. Carroll's Old Lahaina Book Emporium opened in the spot where Jim Kingwell now has his gallery.
A couple of years ago, Jo Ann found she was trading more books than she was selling. People would bring in books and trade them for ones in Jo Ann's stock of some 20,000 volumes.
People who were once good customers would come in to browse, then go home to download reading from the Internet for their Kindles, Jo Ann explained. Annual revenues barely paid the bills. Carroll believes bookstores as we know them will soon be like antique stores - repositories of the old, not the new.
Then the knowledgeable bookseller received an offer she could not refuse. Collectors Tom and Machele Stabler bought out her entire stock, and the store closed.
Jo Ann left the books, but the books wouldn't leave Jo Ann. The Stablers donated thousands of books they didn't want back to the Maui Friends of the Library. With that, the friends group - which had long sold used books at a facility in dusty Puunene - got into the used book business big time.
Who else but Jo Ann to run a new used bookstore when The Wharf Cinema Center agreed to provide space? After three months of effort by Jo Ann, supported by volunteers, she presided over the store's grand opening with the mayor in attendance.
You might figure Jo Ann is an avid reader. She is. She once favored mysteries like most of her customers but today likes true crime, books like Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood," for example.
Jo Ann is a little leery after 20 years recommending books. Once she recommended a volume called "Mosquito Coast." The buyer returned after three days and threw the book in her face.
"Worst book I ever read," the buyer said.
Jo Ann's response: "Why did you finish it?"
Frustrated reader: "I finish what I start."
Popular at The Wharf store are mysteries, science fiction and books on Hawaii. Hawaiiana books are scarce, since most locals keep them and Mainlanders bring them home, Jo Ann said.
For that reason, she has put in a stock of brand new books. Recommendations: Start with "Shoal of Time" and move on to "The Betrayal of Liliuokalani."
Maui Friends each year receives thousands of books and has a whole warehouse full. A new store at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center is selling thousands of dollars' worth a month.
Who will run that store? One guess...
Columnist's Notebook: Stop by. Jo Ann is always looking for volunteers, and you can learn how to operate a cash register. Comments on this and previous columns are welcome at email@example.com.

A couple of days ago, we told you about the Converse and Maison Martin Margiela collaboration. Although initially shrouded in mystery with only a select group of editors getting the notice of the shoe's arrival, everybody now gets a full view of the collaboration as NIKE INC. released a comprehensive look earlier today.
The first-time Converse Maison Martin Margiela collaboration features the Chuck Taylor All Star and the Jack Purcell silhouettes. Each pair of shoes is completely hand-painted in Maison Martin Margielas iconic white paint. Although sneaker purists may say this collaboration is lazy (check the Hypebeast messageboards), we dig the fact that as the wearer wears their pair of Margiela chucks, the paint will inevitably flake off creating a unique look for each pair.
Here is some more details from the Press release:
Founded in 1988, Maison Martin Margiela is a fashion house which has always followed its own path, often outside the conventional fashion framework. Maison Martin Margiela's collections are known for reinventing volumes, modifying shapes, and changing the original use and movement of garments, derailing the classic notions of fashion. Through recycling, transformation and reinterpretation, their identity aligns perfectly with Converse's philosophy of being a platform for creativity.
The personality of the Converse Maison Martin Margiela 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell sneakers is discovered through an evolving dialogue between the bold colored canvas and clean paint. The more the sneakers are worn, the more their personality and color is revealed. "The Maison has always been obsessed with white; it is used as a layer to give an incognito feeling. A sort of poetry, with the passage of time, the shoe asserts itself," says Maison Martin Margiela.
The styles are available in four color ways based on heritage colors from the Converse archives: red, black, navy, and Margiela-exclusive vintage yellow, and are lined in premium off-white leather.
Converse First String is a limited-edition collection that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and collaboration at the highest level. The Converse Maison Martin Margiela sneakers will be available for purchase globally in September at Margiela stores, and at select Converse First String retailers for a suggested retail is $200USD/200€.

Kenna Family Australia & NZ
I am currently doing research for the local Historical Society and am trying to find out more about Timothy KENNA who enlisted WWI in NZ. Father: John Kenna Mother: Margaret.
Timothy had a brother John or Patrick who was a school-teacher at Cawdor near Camden NSW. A letter from Timothy appeared in the Camden News in 1916. It would appear that Timothy may have had a falling out with family members prior to WWI. I am trying to find out more on Timothy; Which brother was the schoolteacher at Cawdor? Mother's maiden name ? Date of death and location for Timothy ? Did he marry? I believe the family arrived 26 August 1880 "Peterborough" and that Timothy was born c.1879 Tipperary, Ireland.
Any assistance much appreciated

While Clint Dempsey has rightfully earned most of the acclaim among Americans playing pro soccer in Europe this season, striker Jozy Altidore's quietly been having a tremendous year for Dutch Eredivisie team AZ Alkmaar with 18 goals on the campaign, helping to lead his squad to possible Europa League qualification. (He's also been writing a pretty nifty New York Times blog.)
Unfortunately, Altidore left yesterday's match with NEC Nijmegen early after being bumped by a defender and sliding across wet turf headfirst into the insipid signage that rings big-time stadium pitches. While he was originally reported to have suffered head and neck injuries after being knocked out, today's prognosis is a much better one. Altidore has a "big bruise on his back" and his status for this Sunday's match is doubtful.
Regardless, the news is positive for his role with the U.S. Men's National Team in this summer's fixtures (including the big friendly against Brazil) and, later, the start of World Cup qualifying. Watching the video, it's a quick realization that it could have been a lot worse.

Google has released a Chrome extension that lets you block domains and sundomains from Google's results. If you never find the results from experts-exchange.com useful, you can now click "Block experts-exchange.com" next to a search result from this site and you'll add the domain to your personal blacklist.
Unfortunately, the extension does little more than storing a list of domains on your computer and hiding the results from those domains. It's not tied to a web service and the blacklist is not saved to your Google account, so that you could use it from a different computer or another browser.
Matt Cutts says that the list of domains you've blocked is sent to Google. "We will study the resulting feedback and explore using it as a potential ranking signal for our search results."
Google SearchWiki used to offer a similar feature, but you could only use it to hide certain results. Blocking domains is more powerful and it will be interesting to see if it will become a regular Google search feature. I think it's too powerful and it might lead to unintended consequences: for example, some users might hide a domain just because a web page is not very helpful.

There are certainly advantages to plug-in electric cars, but there is at least one glaring reason to give pause: They cost more than their traditional gas-powered cousins. Is that initial expense worth it in the long run? Consider these things before buying an electric car:
Battery range
Today's electric vehicle (EV) can run as far as 260-plus miles on a full charge, but many lower-cost models currently have a range of 75 to 100 miles per charge. This may change, however, as several lower-cost models are coming to the market with ranges of 200-plus miles. Extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) can increase mileage even more, and a plug-in hybrid, with a gas tank for backup, increases range, too. Remember: Adding an engine means adding gas costs and engine maintenance, including oil changes, which regular EVs don't require.
Home charging
You'll need to install an efficient 240V source of electricity in your garage, since your standard 120V plug probably won't be able to fully charge an EV overnight. A typical unit will run in the $500 range, plus electrician's fees, though your state may offer rebates on the unit and/or installation. Some EV owners also invest in solar panel charging, for environmental and monetary reasons.
Charging station availability
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are currently more than 58,000 public electric stations and charging outlets across the country, and counting, though availability varies widely depending on where you live. Visit afdc.energy.gov to check the availability in your area.
Cost to power
The average EV requires about 30 kilowatt hours (kWh) to travel 100 miles. Assuming the national average of 12¢/kWh, that's $3.60 per 100 miles—$540 annually for the average 15,000 mile-per-year driver, mainly charging at home. Compare that to $1,320 a year for a gas-powered vehicle, assuming 25 mpg at $2.20/gallon. Plug in your local energy costs to personalize those numbers.
Tax and other incentives
Federal tax credits for new EV and plug-in hybrids range from $2,500 to $7,500, depending on battery size. Some utility companies provide special rates, and many states offer their own incentives, too.

3 captures, 1 where we get few complaints, 2 where we get lots of complaints on dropping/slow connections. They all look bad to me...?
Any clues on where I go next (as I keep reading this forum and try to figure it out). Thanks.

It was pretty hard to avoid being barked at in Helsinki last weekend. It's not too surprising, I suppose, considering over 21,000 dogs had descended on the Finnish capital for the three-day World Dog Show -- an annual event, held in a different city each year, that sees pooches fiercely compete for the title of Best in Show.
I was there to write a story for TIME, and just two hours in to my first day of reporting I had been snapped at by a preened American Cocker Spaniel, licked a few too many times by a warm-faced Wirehaired Daschund and had narrowly avoided walking straight into the path of a pooping Shar Pei. It's all part of the danger of working with animals, I told myself.
Luckily for me, though, I was in veteran company. Editors had sent me on assignment with Landon Nordeman, a photographer known for his artful take on shows like this.
Put a dog in front of him and he'll make a shot that is somehow comical and sincere. And sure enough, when I saw some of his early edits I hoped we could both go to shows every week.
There were shots of dogs like the regal Weimaraner Bekki, the Scottish Deerhound Minka, and five Shetland Sheepdogs from Sweden. All of them were weird, beautiful animals in real life, but his lens had somehow added an extra dimension, snapping them, it seemed, at just the right time, too.
"Experience has taught me to anticipate when moments are going to happen," Nordeman tells TIME . "It's great -- because when you take their picture, dogs do not talk back!"
Landon Nordeman is a commercial and editorial photographer whose work has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly, TIME, Bloomberg Businessweek and ESPN The Magazine, among others. His images of the World Dog Show will appear in TIME on September 1, 2014.
Richard Conway is reporter/producer for TIME LightBox

Howard Taylor gave a masterful presentation on the power of practice, and I've been learning from it ever since I first heard it. He references the article, How Not to Talk to Your Kids, which I also recommend.
He also references this graph:
Listen, then tell me your thoughts!

We are live at the ROH Tenth Anniversary show in New York! You can order the iPPV by clicking the link above.
Coverage will commence at 5 PM. I will be handling live play by play while Stu Carapola will be posting his live, ongoing thoughts from the show as well.
Pre-Show Notes: Visiting at the show are Quiet Storm and Brian XL...ROH management was very happy with last night's Sinclair TV taping....There will be some CHIKARA involvement as Grand champion Eddie Kingston is here....They are playing old theme songs from the early days of ROH as fans enter the venue....Several wrestlers from Womens Superstars Unleashed are also in the house, including Marti Belle.
ROH Tenth Anniversary Internet PPV Coverage.
Your commentary team is Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness. They got a huge ovation. The crowd chanted for Nigel and then for Kevin Kelly.
The crowd then chanted for Cary Silkin.
They went live on the air. Nigel and Kelly welcomed everyone. Nigel said that ten years ago, ROH was formed to show that pro wrestling wasn't dead. He said that ten years later, ROH is alive and kicking and so is pro wrestling. He said that is thanks to everyone who is in ROH, everyone who helped build the company and all the fans of ROH.
They sent it to a pre-taped promo from the All Night Express.
Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. The All Night Express.
All Night Express have new outfits. They went face to face and argued with the former champs before the bell.
Benjamin and Rhett Titus opened up. Titus worked him over with hard chops in the corner and drilled him with a running clothesline in the corner. He followed up with a running bulldog and brought him into the Express' corner. Kenny King worked over Benjamin and worked him over on the mat. Benjamin fought to his feet and they went back and forth. Benjamin cut him off with a kick to the gut. He and Haas began working over King in the corner. Haas mocked the crowd, which was all over him.
Haas whipped King into the ropes but King ducked a big boot and nailed a dropkick. The Express went for a double team but Haas avoided it. He tossed King to the floor but was caught by Titus with a neckbreaker. Benjamin hit the scene but the Express tossed them to the floor and hit a double flip dive out of the ring to the floor.
Back in the ring, Haas covered up as Titus worked him over. The referee held Titus back. Haas shoved King, and the referee stopped King from getting in the ring. That allowed Benjamin to attack Titus' bad knee from behind. Haas and Benjamin began taking turns working over Titus' knee. Haas brought him into the corner and tied his leg in the ropes, then charged and drilled it with a knee. Benjamin brought him over to the ringpost and locked in a figure four on the rail. King tried to help but was cut off by Haas and thrown out hard to the floor.
Back in the ring, Titus tried to make the tag but was cut off by Benjamin and was caught in a leg submission. He tried to roll over and pin Benjamin while trapped in it to no avail. Titus fought him off but was cut off. Haas tagged in and continued working him over. Haas finally missed a punch and King made the hot tag. King wet nuts with offense, allowing Titus to nail an enziguri to Benjamin.
King locked in a one legged crab on Haas but Benjamin attacked. King was sent into the corner but came off with a moonsault for a two. The Express double teamed him with dropkicks. Titus covered Benjamin for a two count. Haas hit the scene but was nailed a kick. He came back with a big boot and a big German suplex.
King tagged in but was caught with a Haas inverted atomic drop and a big boot by Benjamin for a two count. The crowd tried to rally the Express as Rhett fired up with a series of punches and worked over Haas. He nailed a clothesline that sent them both over the top to the floor. Benjamin and King went into a series of near fall reversals until King finally caught Benjamin and scored the pin.
Your winners, The All Night Express!
Really, really strong opener. They had some great back and forth action and Benjamin doing what I believe may have been his first pinfall loss in ROH was a real shock to the audience. Haas and Benjamin were absolutely great as heels. Great kickoff.
Mike Bennett (with Bob Evans & Maria Kanellis) vs. Homicide
The crowd was all over Bennett when he came out, chanting CM Punk at Kanellis. Bennett said they are talking about the Best in the World and said he was going to do to Homicide what he should do the entire city, take a big old crap on it. Homicide hit the ring and attacked Bennett. Homicie was wearing his outfit from the first-ever ROH show when he was one half of the Natural Born Sinners. No rubber chicken though!
They rang the bell and Homicide worked Bennett over, beating the hell out of him all over the outside, running him into the rail. Bennett started making a comeback but Homicide tossed him to the floor. He went for the tope con hilo to the outside but Evans pulled Bennett out of the way and nailed Homicide. Bennett worked over Homicide and tossed him back into the ring. He worked over Homicide with a series of rights and suplexed him over for a two count.
He whipped Homicide into the corner and clotheslined him then dropkicked him for a near fall. He whipped Homicide into the ropes but put his head down and Homicide kicked him. Homicide rebounded off the ropes but was caught with a spinebuster. He ripped a Yankees shirt off of Homicide and wiped his rear with it. That fired up Homicide who nailed an Ace Crusher. They fought to their feet and battled back and forth. Homicide nailed him with a powerbomb, then locked on an STF. Shout out to Samoa Joe! Homicide led the move go and went after Bob Evans.
Bennett tried to charge him but was nailed with a back elbow. He went to the top but was cut off by Bennett. Bennett went for a superplex but Homicide cut him off and teased a Pepsi Plunge off the top. Bennett backdropped him into the ring. Homicide cut off Bennett and nailed a neckbreaker. He called for the GTS but Maria got on the ropes. Bennett slipped out and charged. Homicide moved and Maria was almost nailed. Homicide grabbed Bennett and nailed the GTS. He started screaming at Maria and made the CM Punk straightedge symbol.
Bennett grabbed Homicide from behind and rolled him up, hooking the tights for the pin.
Your winner, Mike Bennett!
Homicide immediately laid out Bennett and then Bob Evans. He went after Maria, who was in the ring but they pulled her out of the ring.
Homicide took the mic and put over the fans and the promotion afterward, ripping on Boston in he process.
A solid match. I loved the old school Homicide look.
CHIKARA Grand champion Eddie Kingston was introduced. Kevin Kelly said that ROH will be cross-promoting events across the country. He said the first would be 4/28 in Chicago with CHIKARA. Kingston said that he was happy to be here and happy to be in NYC. He said that he was most excited to see ROH champion Davey Richards. He said that he had an idea. Richards' music played but then changed and out came Kevin Steen, carrying a tennis racquet and eating a banana.
Steen came that it was really good to see Kingson, but he was wondering what exactly happened. He asked Kingston when he became such a bitch. He said that he heard Kingston was talking about how great it was to be here. He says that Kingston said it was great to be back, but he used to be here until Jim Cornette came and took over and you disappeared. He said that he thinks that's not what Kingston thinks inside. He said that he knows people would like to see them fight but he also thinks a lot of people would want to see them tear down the business together. He said they could destroy CHIKARA and ROH and rebuild it. Kingston said that CHIKARA was his home and where he was born and where he was die. He said that teaming with Steen would be cool but he's not about destroying anything. Steen said ROH was cool until Cornette took over but Steen is taking care of that. He said that if he loves CHIKARA that's fine but it's a bullsh** Mickey Mouse promotion. Kingston told Kelly to get out of the ring. He said that he lost his wife and his kids for CHIKARA and he'll live and die for CHIKARA and he would "f***ing kill Steen" for running his mouth. It was an awesome promo. Steen backed off and said he didn't come to fight but plans change. They brawled. A ton of ROH officials and ring crew pulled them apart. Kingston was pulled from the ring and the CHIKARA belt was left in the ring with Steen. Steen teased pulling his penis out and pissing on the belt, which brought CHIKARA stars the Colony out. They worked over Steen and threw him out of the ring. Red Ant then hit a big dive onto everyone on the floor. A super hot angle and segment.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
Bots are fun and all, but they can easily become annoying. These controls for
preventing a bot from sending too often or repeating itself too frequently can
help to minimize that annoyance.
The purpose of the send policy framework is to allow the bot maintainer to set
policies against any service that may call C<send_message>. The policy set
against that service may delay any message being sent, cause a message to be
discarded, or alter the message.
The framework is designed to be extensible with a couple very useful policies
being provided with the backbone framework.
See L<Bot::Backbone::SendPolicy::MinimumInterval> and
L<Bot::Backbone::SendPolicy::MinimumRepeatInterval>. See L<Bot::Backbone> and
L<Bot::Backbone::Service> for more information on how send policies are defined
and applied.
The rest of this docuemntation describes how to build a send policy
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 bot
This is a back reference to the bot.
=head1 REQUIRED METHODS
=head2 allow_send
my $send_policy = $policy->allow_send({
text => 'some message',
Given a set of options passed to the C<send_message> method of
L<Bot::Backbone::Service::Role::Chat>, return a hash reference containing the
instrucitons on what to do with that message. The C<allow_send> method may also
modify the passed in options to alter the message being posted.
The result may contain the following keys:
=item allow
This is a boolean value. If true, the message will be delivered to the chat. If
it is false, the message is immediately discarded.
This must be set. If not set, an exception will be thrown.
=item after
This is a numeric value that contains a number of fractional sections to wait
utnil the message should be delivered. The message will be put on hold and then
delivered after that amount of wait time has passed.

Waterloo Press
The range covers a special re-issue, critically acclaimed modernists, political and traditional poetry alongside a range of internationally flavoured gems.
Go on, treat yourself!
Norman Buller - Pictures of the Fleeting World (£10)
On Powder on the Wind
The best poems ... are direct and powerful... the understated power of the details has a big impact ... the use of unforced, natural sounding language has real force
Hugh Dunkerley,
The London Magazine
Maria Jastrzębska - At the Library of Memories (£10)
Maria Jastrzębska's epic new collection is fabulous, audacious and compelling; here are dazzling conjurings of lost times and places, tremendously moving elegies, and astonishing fragments of intricate stories recovered from lost worlds.
Nick Drake
This new version of Nicholas Johnson's Cleave is notable for its apposition of the darknesses of modern rural life with a quality of light, that springs from a deep interest in people and a respect for the healing power of love. The structure is almost musical.
- Fred Beake
Tamara Kamenszain
The Echo of My Mother /
El eco de mi madre (£10)
(bilingual) Order book here...
The Echo of My Mother is a unique book; from its very title, which reminds us of the remnant, of what is left of the person who's departing, the voice that's already an echo and merges with silence, invites us, however, to "listen to what she's not saying".
Sylvia Molloy
The real, the imagined, the past, the future, the dead and alive, figures from Irish mythology and the arts, irascible uncles and siblings, a bard, an unholy trinity, a shadowy father, the Clan MacFirbisig and a bellowing one-eyed bull - all have something trenchant, and at times contradictory, to say about the stages of Tony Frisby's life in Me Me and Not Me. Or rather, 'lives', for no single voice dominates the proceedings, and the complex contrapuntal mesh of voices and opinions is one of the delights of this richly contoured epic poem in which motivations are laid bare, or perhaps artfully concealed.
Monuments stretches inner and outer here. From its explosive opening with the afterlife of a suicide bomber through a diary of the Iraq war, the poetry, themes and languages shock into something more radical and engaged than many have seen for years. Its extrovert narrative arc constantly tries to meet what it invokes: politics, risk, the despised spiritual, raw subjects not talked of in English.
Waterloo Press offers readers an eclectic list of the most inventive and stimulating poetry from the UK and abroad. Our beautifully designed books range from lost modernist classics to translations of senior international poets and vibrant collections by the best young British poets around.
Waterloo Press brings radical and marginalised voices to the fore, mirroring the aesthetic value of their work in outstanding book design, including dust jackets; large font; and original artwork for the covers. With its diverse and growing list, Waterloo Press breaks down the borders between contemporary schools of poetry, to forge a new poetics based on respect for craft, innovation and the challenge of real communication.

The Most Dangerous Airports in the World
When people think about flying, they are turned off by the possibility of sitting next to a crying baby, a person who sweats a lot, severe turbulence, and bad weather. Most passengers believe they're safe once they see the airport from the windows.Imagine you're on a plane to your vacation getaway and the pilot says you have been redirected because the runway is too short and you risk falling off a cliff. Technically, flying on an airplane is among the safest way to travel �?? the chance of a crash is just 1 in 11 million. But the odds are different if you were about to land at one of these places.iStock
Lukla Airport, Nepal
You have probably seen how people clap every time a plane lands. Passengers, who are safely arriving at Lukla Airport in Nepal, applaud with sincere excitement. The airport is too high �?? 9,325 feet �?? and the airstrip is extremely short and narrow. A margin of error is practically non-existent. If a pilot misses it by few feet, he or she may have to land on a mountain, putting passengers and crew in severe peril. See why in this video.Jiri Foltyn / Shutterstock.com
Madeira Airport, Portugal
"Europe's most dangerous airport" is in Madeira. The runway is so narrow that it was extended by 655 feet in 1977 after a crash killed 131 people, according to the Independent. Pilots hate the airport for other reasons as well �?? it's surrounded by rocky hills and an utter drop into the ocean. The location is not ideal either, as strong winds often cause severe turbulence.Shutterstock
Courchevel International Airport, France
The issues with an airport servicing a ski area are numerous �?? small airport and short runways (1,722 feet) at an altitude of 6,560 feet with an incline of 18.5 percent. There is no go-around procedure in this airport, as you can see in this clip. If there is fog, which is to be expected in the French Alps, you can't land. It's almost impossible to make a final approach because the vertical drop at the end is practically invisible.Hugues Mitton / Wikimedia Commons
Gibraltar International Airport
How can it not be classified as dangerous, if you see this video? Taking off and landing is quite the challenge because the plane can easily end up in the ocean. The runway is one straight and very short line. It's also in the middle of a town. There is actually a railway crossing in the middle and a barrier comes down when a plane is about to land so people know to stay away.Shutterstock
Barra Airport, Scotland
This is a unique airport that uses a beach for its runways. If it's hard to imagine, you can see how it's done in this video. The airport is the only one in the world that turns a beach into a runway. Flight times have to be scheduled according to high tide. Sometimes cars in the parking lot have the lights on to help pilots see where to land.Spumador / Shutterstock.com
Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten
If you are a tall person at the beach on the island of St. Maarten, you'll probably be able to touch a plane as it lands. It certainly feels that way, though, as seen in this video. People and officials don't seem to be bothered by the danger, as the airport is still open and remains busy.Jaromir Chalabala / Shutterstock.com
McMurdo Air Station, Antarctica
Ever wonder what it's like to land on ice? This video can demonstrate. The three runways at McMurdo Air Station are long but they are entirely made of ice. Sometimes the pilots have to use night vision equipment to land because it's dark all day. When you add the factor of unpredictable and always below-zero degrees weather, do you really want to fly into McMurdo?Photo Modified: Flickr / The National Guard / CC BY 4.0
Paro Airport, Bhutan
According to this YouTube video, seen viewed more than 6 million times, the most dangerous landing in the world was into Paro Airport in Bhutan. Visiting this remote and exotic region begins with a unique but scary terrifying experience. The 6,500 foot-long runway is surrounded by steep 18,000-foot peaks and mountain foliage. Only eight pilots in the world are qualified to land there, according to the Daily Mail. Planes have to weave through houses that are scattered across the mountainside, coming within feet of clipping the roofs.iStock
Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, Saba Island
This is the only airport in Saba but only master pilots dare to land there. With high hills on one side and cliffs on the others, passengers should be strong swimmers, just in case. Going beyond the runway is a realistic possibility.Photo Modified: Flickr / Masahiro TAKAGI / CC BY 4.0
Narsarsuaq Aiport, Greenland
The airport is as beautiful as it is dangerous. As evident from this clip, pilots have to fly up a fjord. Severe turbulence is almost always a given, made even worse by strong winds. And don't forget about the icebergs wandering around the runways for takeoff and landing. Unsurprisingly, planes are not allowed to leave or arrive when it's dark.iStock
Toncontin Airport, Honduras
Stories of its danger have made the news several times. The runway in Tegucigalpa is much shorter than average and is located in the middle of populated valleys. The nightmare of landing there begins with a twisted ravine. The airport sits in a mountainous region requiring pilots to make some unconventional maneuvers to land safely. There have been at least six major crashes there since 1989.Oscar Josué Elvir Vasquez / Wikimedia Commons
MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan
The Navy calls the Marine Corps Air Station in Funtenma "the most dangerous in the world." Landing there requires passing over 16 schools, hospitals, and city offices. The more than 3,000 people living in what is supposed to be a "clear zone" is just another risk factor. Also, the city of Ginowan, with 96,000 people, surrounds the air station.y.kuma.guys / Shutterstock.com
Bert Mooney Airport, Montana
The problem is the challenging location of the airport. It is squeezed between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Pilots must navigate numerous obstructions flying into this airport. Another problem is the lack of a control tower. Imagine landing anywhere like that...Photo Modified: Flickr / Sergei 5of7 / CC BY 4.0
Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong
This airport closed in 1998 because it was far too dangerous. This video provides a glimpse as to why. Passengers flying into it pretty much expected pilots to abort landings. Passing through high-rises was inevitable as planes landed. Planes would sometimes even overrun the landing strip and plunge into the sea.winhorse / istock
Telluride Regional Airport, Colorado
Telluride is the highest commercial airport in the U.S. at 9,070 feet. The problem is the mountainous terrain. It creates an especially difficult approach for pilots trying to land. The 1,000-foot cliffs on both ends of the runway don't help. Also, in addition to all that, there is strong turbulence during winter because of the powerful winds.Photo Modified: Flickr / born1945 / CC BY 4.0
Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport, Arizona
The challenge here is that pilots have to navigate rapidly rising terrain on both ends of the 8,500-foot runway and be aware of its high departure climb gradient performance requirements. As part of a new expansion project, the airport has installed a new state-of-the-art lighting system. Some planes need a longer runway or they need to take on less fuel in order to get off the ground and later refuel.Jojo M. / Yelp
LaGuardia Airport, New York
Remember when a few years ago Former Vice President Joe Biden compared LaGuardia Airport to "third world" airport. The safety problem comes from the fact that pilots have to be careful in not interfering with flights from the other two airports servicing the area �?? John F. Kennedy Airport and Newark Liberty Airport in neighboring New Jersey.iStock
Los Angeles (LAX)
LAX has been known as the most perilous airport in the U.S since at least 2011 when it was ranked the most dangerous by Travel + Leisure. Back then, it has had 60 reported runway incidents in five years. A famous example is when back in 2007, a WestJet 737 landed and almost hit a Northwest Airbus during take-off.trekandshoot / istock
Juneau International Airport, Alaska
Visitors admire the city for its gorgeous scenery but pilots are not impressed. The mountainous terrain and surrounding valleys have always been a problem here. They have made landing challenging for both commercial and business aviation pilots over the years.Photo Modified: Flickr / James Brooks / CC BY 4.0
Damascus International Airport
Strictly technically speaking, the Damascus International Airport is less of a risk. The terrain is fit for landing but the airport is close to Syria's capital. The bloody civil war in the country has been ongoing since 2011; hundreds of thousands have died, more than a million have been displaced because of constant attacks and fighting.Igor Bubin / Wikimedia Commons

Last year we moved into a new home and took delivery of three Sears appliances, one of them a washing machine. The washer needed a new water-level control within the warranty period, and then, two months past the warranty expiration date, the water valve stopped shutting off, presumably because of the same problem.
Calling Sears was an experience. The service department did not find anything wrong with the fact that the machine needed service for the same problem within 14 months. Even when I told the manager the store was losing a customer, he was not impressed.
Rather than paying for a service call and facing the repeated issue every few months, I told the manager I would purchase a different brand of washer from a different company that very day.
I purchased the lowest technology washer I could find. As an added bonus, the price was low enough that I could afford to purchase a new one, rather than paying for a service call. As far as my relationship with Sears is concerned, those were the last appliances I will purchase from there. If it thinks two service calls in a little over a year on a new machine is normal, then I'm on to other brands.

Congratulations, and welcome to your new Arch Linux system!
This section will cover various must-do procedures after installation such as updating your new system and adding a regular, non-root user.
Your new Arch Linux base system is now a functional GNU/Linux environment ready for customization. From here, you may build this elegant set of tools into whatever you wish or require for your purposes.
Login with the root account. We will configure pacman and update the system as root.
Latest News
It's a good idea to read the latest news for any installation tips and work-arounds. For examples, as of 16 April, 2012, the following two news items are required reading:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/initscripts-update-manual-intervention-required/ http://www.archlinux.org/news/filesystem-upgrade-manual-intervention-required/
Also, you will need to temporarily edit the
/etc/pacman.conf file and set
SigLevel to 'Never', this will disable the signature check of the packages. And ignore warnings suggesting you upgrade pacman..
pacman-key --init pacman -S filesystem --force rm /etc/profile.d/locale.sh pacman -Syu
After completing the installation of the system, you could read the Pacman-key article, for information on how to enable the verification of signatures of the packages.
Configure the network (if necessary)
If you properly configured your system, you should have a working network. Try to
ping example.com to verify:
$ ping -c 3 example.com
PING example.com (220.127.116.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 43-10.any.icann.org (188.8.131.52): icmp_req=1 ttl=248 time=25.6 ms 64 bytes from 43-10.any.icann.org (22.214.171.124): icmp_req=2 ttl=248 time=22.9 ms 64 bytes from 43-10.any.icann.org (22.214.171.124): icmp_req=3 ttl=248 time=23.6 ms --- example.com ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 22.912/24.062/25.632/1.156 ms
If you have successfully established a network connection, continue with Update, Sync, and Upgrade the system with pacman.
If three attempts to ping example.com produce an "unknown host" error, then your network is not properly configured. Troubleshoot by checking the following files for integrity and proper settings:
/etc/rc.conf - Check your HOSTNAME and NETWORKING section for typos and errors.
/etc/hosts - Check for format errors and typos.
/etc/resolv.conf - Check this only if you are using a static IP. If you are using DHCP, this file will be dynamically created and destroyed by default.
Wired LAN
Check your Ethernet with
$ ip addr
All interfaces will be listed. You should see an entry for eth0, or perhaps eth1. These examples will use eth0.
Static IP
If required, you can set a new static IP with:
# ip addr add <ip>/<netmask> dev <interface>
and the default gateway with
# ip route add default via <ip>
Verify that
/etc/resolv.conf contains your DNS server and add it if it is missing.
Check your network again with
ping -c 3 www.google.com. If everything is working now, adjust
/etc/rc.conf as described above for static IP.
If you have a DHCP server/router in your network try:
# dhcpcd eth0
If this is working, adjust
/etc/rc.conf as described above, for dynamic IP.
Wireless LAN
Please see Wireless Quickstart For the Live Environment for details on connecting to a wireless network. Although you are no longer running off the installation media, the commands are the same as long as you installed all related wireless packages during package selection. Remember, your wireless device may need firmware in order to operate. For troubleshooting, check the detailed Wireless Setup page.
Proxy Server
If you are behind a proxy server, edit
/etc/wgetrc and set http_proxy and ftp_proxy in it.
Analog Modem, ISDN, and DSL (PPPoE)
See Internet Access for detailed instructions.
Update, Sync, and Upgrade the system with pacman
Now we will update the system using pacman. Pacman is the package manager of Arch Linux. It manages your entire package system and handles installation, removal, package downgrade (through cache), custom compiled package handling, automatic dependency resolution, remote and local searches and much more. Pacman will now be used to download software packages from remote repositories and install them onto your system.
To make any changes to your repository selections or pacman options, edit
Repositories are described below; enable all desired repositories by removing the # in front of the 'Include =' and '[repository]' lines.
Package Repositories
A software repository is a storage location from which software packages may be retrieved and installed on a computer. Arch Linux package maintainers (developers and Trusted Users) maintain a number of official repositories containing software packages for essential and popular software, readily accessible via pacman. This article outlines those officially-supported repositories. See Official Repositories for more information including details about the purpose of each repository.
Most people will want to use [core], [extra] and [community]. If you want to run 32-bit applications on Arch x86_64, enable the [multilib] repository by adding the lines below to
[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The Arch User Repository (AUR) holds the [community] and [unsupported] branches. Unlike the other branches, [unsupported] contains no binary packages and cannot (by design) be accessed directly by pacman. This branch is a collection PKGBUILD bash scripts written by Arch users to build packages from source using the Arch Build System. Software in [unsupported] is generally not available in the other branches. When an [unsupported] package acquires enough popular votes, it may be moved to the [community] binary repository if one of the Trusted Users is willing to adopt and maintain it there.
Defines pacman repository mirrors and priorities.
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist before you continue.
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist in an editor and uncomment (remove the '#' in front) a server close to you. Then issue a complete package refresh:
# pacman -Syy
Passing two
--refresh or
-y flags forces pacman to refresh all package lists even if they are considered to be up to date. Issuing
pacman -Syy whenever a mirror is changed, is good practice and will avoid possible headaches.
Alternatively, you can use
rankmirrors is a bash script which will attempt to detect uncommented mirrors specified in
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist which are closest to the installation machine based on latency. Faster mirrors will dramatically improve pacman performance, and the overall Arch Linux experience. This script may be run periodically, especially if the chosen mirrors provide inconsistent throughput and/or updates. Note that
rankmirrors does not test for throughput. Tools such as
wget or
rsync may be used to effectively test for mirror throughput after a new
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist has been generated.
Issue the following command to completely refresh package database, upgrade and install
# pacman -Syyu curl
- If you get an error at this step, use the command
nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlistand uncomment a server that suits you.
cd to the
/etc/pacman.d/ directory:
# cd /etc/pacman.d
Backup the existing
# cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup
Edit mirrorlist.backup and uncomment all mirrors on the same continent or within geographical proximity to test with rankmirrors.
# nano mirrorlist.backup
Run the script against the mirrorlist.backup with the -n switch and redirect output to a new /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file:
# rankmirrors -n 6 mirrorlist.backup > mirrorlist
Force pacman to refresh all package lists with the new mirrorlist in place:
# pacman -Syy
Mirrorcheck for up-to-date packages
rankmirrors does not take into account how up-to-date a mirror's package list is, it is important to note that one or more of the mirrors it selects as fastest may still be out-of-date. Arch Linux MirrorStatus reports various aspects about the mirrors such as network problems with mirrors, data collection problems, the last time mirrors have been synced, etc. One may wish to manually inspect
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, ensuring that the file contains only up-to-date mirrors if having the latest package versions is a priority.
Alternatively, the Mirrorlist Generator can automatically rank mirrors close to your location by how up-to-date they are.

Get familiar with pacman
pacman is the Arch user's best friend. It is highly recommended to study and learn how to use the pacman(8) tool. Try:
$ man pacman
$MANWIDTH environment variable and create a
.profile file in your root's home folder for subsequent logins:
# export MANWIDTH=80
For more information, have a look at the pacman wiki entry at your own leisure, or check out the pacman rosetta entry for a comparison to other popular package managers.
Update the System
Before upgrading the system, read through the news (and optionally the announce mailing list). Often the developers will provide important information about required configurations and modifications for known issues. The Arch Linux user is expected to consult these pages before performing an upgrade.
Sync, refresh, and upgrade your entire new system with:
# pacman -Syu
# pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade
Pacman will now download a fresh copy of the master package list from the server(s) defined in
/etc/pacman.conf and perform all available upgrades. You may be prompted to upgrade pacman itself at this point. If so, respond by entering yes, and then reissue the
pacman -Syu command when finished.
Reboot if a kernel upgrade has occurred.
Pacman output is saved in
See Package Management FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions regarding updating and managing your packages.
Ignoring Packages
After executing the command
pacman -Syu, the entire system will be updated. It is possible to prevent a package from being upgraded. A typical scenario would be a package for which an upgrade may prove problematic for the system. In this case, there are two options; indicate the package(s) to skip in the pacman command line using the --ignore switch (
pacman -S --help for details) or permanently indicate the package(s) to skip in the
/etc/pacman.conf file in the IgnorePkg array. For more information, please see the pacman wiki entry.
Please note that the power user is expected to keep the system up to date with pacman -Syu, rather than selectively upgrading packages. You may diverge from this typical usage as you wish; just be warned that there is a greater chance that things will not work as intended and that it could break your system. The majority of complaints happen when selective upgrading, unusual compilation or improper software installation is performed. Use of IgnorePkg in
/etc/pacman.conf is therefore discouraged, and should only be used sparingly, if you know what you are doing.
The Arch rolling release model
Keep in mind that Arch is a rolling release distribution. This means the user is not required to reinstall or perform elaborate system rebuilds to upgrade to the newest version. Issuing
pacman -Syu periodically (and noting the above warning) keeps the entire system up-to-date and on the bleeding edge. At the end of this upgrade, the system will be completely current. Remember to reboot if a kernel upgrade has occurred.
Adding a User
Linux is a multi-user environment. You should not perform everyday tasks using the root account, it is very poor practice and extremely dangerous: the root account should be used for administrative tasks only. Add a normal user account instead, using one of the two following methods, both creating the user archie as an example:
Interactive method
# adduser
You will be asked to enter some information in an interactive way:
Login name for new user []: archie User ID ('UID') [ defaults to next available ]: Initial group [ users ]: Additional groups (comma separated) []: audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,games,power,scanner Home directory [ /home/archie ]: Shell [ /bin/bash ]: Expiry date (YYYY-MM-DD) []:
As shown in the example, you are advised to enter values only for the Login name and the Additional groups, and leave empty all the other fields.
The list of Additional groups in the example is a typical choice for a desktop system, hence it is recommended especially for beginners:
- audio - for tasks involving sound card and related software
- lp - for managing printing tasks
- optical - for managing tasks pertaining to the optical drive(s)
- storage - for managing storage devices
- video - for video tasks and hardware acceleration
- wheel - for using sudo
- games - needed for write permission for games in the games group
- power - used with power options (e.g. shutdown with power button)
- scanner - for using a scanner
Now you will be presented with a preview of your new account, and the ability to cancel or continue operations: after pressing Template:Keypress the account will be created, and you will be prompted to enter additional, optional information for the new user (e.g. the full name). After that, you will be asked to enter the password for your account.
Non-interactive method
# useradd -m -g users -G audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,games,power,scanner -s /bin/bash archie
You will have to set a password using
passwd. To enter additional information you can use the
chfn command.
Deleting the user account
In the event of error, or if you wish to delete this user account in favor of a different name or for any other reason, use
# userdel -r [username]
-r option will remove the user's home directory and its content, along with the the user's mail spool.
More information
Read Users and Groups for further information. If you want to change the name of your user or any existing user, consult the Change username page. You may also check the man pages for
usermod(8) and
Template:Beginners' Guide navigation

Scott Kazmir shuts down ex-team in A's debut
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — With All-Star Bartolo Colon gone to New York and projected opening day starter Jarrod Parker out for the season with an elbow injury, the Oakland Athletics are relying heavily on newcomer Scott Kazmir to help anchor the rotation.
Kazmir sure made a favorable first impression.
BOX SCORE:Athletics 6, Indians 1
Kazmir shut out his former team into the eighth inning in his Oakland debut, and the Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians 6-1 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday.
"You always want to make that good first impression and that's what he did," catcher Derek Norris said. "If he had any type of pressure on his shoulders to do something good I think that's pretty much eliminated."
Alberto Callaspo hit a two-run homer and Yoenis Cespedes, Jed Lowrie and Brandon Moss added RBI hits for the Athletics, who broke out offensively after being shut out Monday in their big league record 10th straight opening loss.
But behind a strong performance from Kazmir (1-0), the A's followed an opening day defeat with a victory for the seventh time in those 10 years. Kazmir allowed just three hits and no walks in 7 1-3 scoreless innings, striking out five.
"You have to get ahead because they are a great fastball hitting team," Kazmir said. "Early in the game I was able to get ahead in the count and mix all my pitches in and keep them off balance."
Corey Kluber (0-1) failed to make it out of the fourth inning and lost for the first time in 13 starts since June 27. He gave up five runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings.
The teams played the earliest doubleheader in baseball history following the first rainout in Oakland since May 5, 1998, on Tuesday night. The previous earliest doubleheader came on April 7 in 1971, '74 and '96, according to STATS.
Josh Lindblom was called up from Triple-A Sacramento as Oakland's 26th man to start the second game against Zach McAllister. The Indians added reliever C.C. Lee to the roster for the second game.
The rain delayed Kazmir's Oakland debut by a day but it was well worth the wait for the A's as he looked like the pitcher who thrived down the stretch last season when he helped the Indians make the playoffs.
"He gave us a taste of our own medicine from what we saw last year," Indians outfielder Nick Swisher said. "I just hate that it happened to us."
Kazmir parlayed that success into a $22 million, two-year contract as he replaced Colon in the rotation.
Kazmir found his groove after allowing a pair of fly balls to the warning track in the first inning. He allowed only singles to Michael Brantley in the second and Jason Kipnis in the fourth, and a double to Mike Aviles with one out in the eighth.
Dan Otero gave up a two-out RBI single in the ninth to Carlos Santana that ended the shutout.
Oakland scored twice in the second inning to take a 3-0 lead despite losing a replay challenge. The disputed play came with runners on first and third and one out when Josh Donaldson hit a grounder to third. Carlos Santana threw home and umpire Mark Wegner ruled that Gomes tagged Derek Norris before he touched home.
A's manager Bob Melvin challenged the call but the ruling stood after a review of about 4 minutes, 45 seconds, because there was no conclusive evidence to overturn it.
Kluber got to throw some warmup pitches after the delay but allowed an RBI single to Lowrie to fall behind 3-0.
"By that point it was apparent I was searching and I don't think that had anything to do with it," Kluber said. "That being said, I thought it took way too long. It took away from the flow of the game and that's what they are trying to avoid."
NOTES: Kazmir's outing follows Sonny Gray's six shutout innings in the opener, marking the first time since at least 1914 that the A's have started the season with two straight scoreless starts. ... The Indians have six sweeps and four splits in their previous 10 doubleheaders.

Jay Finke necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 133 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Jay A. Finke, CFP® (Please note that since the CFP is a trademark, it must be shown this way.)
I am a financial planner based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have the Certified Financial Planner® designation. I have been a practicing financial planner for 19 years. I am affiliated with a Fortune 500 Financial Services Company. I work exclusively with high net worth corporate executives, professionals and business owners. A majority of my clients are executives at a local Fortune 500 company. I do advanced retirement planning, investment planning and estate planning. My tagline is "Advanced Planning Through Thoughtful Analysis-Serving Clients for Life." My planning process is extremely thorough, analytical and educational. I only work for clients who pay a fee to work with me.
My clients are successful corporate executives, professionals and business owners over the age of 50. Most are planning to retire within the next two to three years or have already retired. All of my clients come to me as referrals from my existing clients. My clients invest substantial amounts of money with me and look to me to provide wise guidance on matters involving investment management, estate planning, life insurance, taxes, risk management and charitable gifting. My clients (and prospective clients) are obviously looking for me, as their financial advisor, to have the highest degree of integrity and honesty. TRUST is the most important asset I bring to the table. I also offer an approach to retirement and financial planning that is extremely EDUCATIONAL as I come from a family background in teaching. I have been doing the same thing with the same company and the same people for 19 years and thus STABILITY is another attribute that I would like the logo to portray. My team and I pride ourselves on the very extensive amount of client service that we provide. I have a much smaller number of clients than most people in my business and this allows me to provide each client with a much more thorough approach to their financial planning goals and objectives.
I would like a logo that communicates TRUST, an EDUCATIONAL and THOROUGH approach to retirement and financial planning, STABILITY, and the fact that I used ADVANCED ANALYSIS and cutting-edge technology in my work. My practice has been growing steadily and looks poised to grow quickly in the next few years. While my new website is still under construction and not complete, you can get a good idea of what I am all about at http://www.JayFinke.com.
This logo will be my first logo and will be used as the basis for all new stationery, a website which we are now in the process of designing and various printed marketing materials. Most of my current marketing materials are predominantly maroon with black print. It would be great if the logo can be used by itself (as an example, the Apple logo) and/or with my name (Jay A. Finke, CFP®) and/or with my name and tagline (Jay A. Finke, CFP® Advanced Planning Through Thoughtful Analysis-Serving Clients for Life) and/or with any portion of the tagline. Any font used in the logo must be readable as it may be used in a variety of different marketing materials and formats. I will need high quality PDF, JPEG, GIF and TIF formats for the winning design. The winning entry must be approved by the compliance department of the broker-dealer that I work with.
