Australian Internet surfers enjoyed significant improvements in performance during the last quarter of 2008, according to new international research.
Global broadband benchmarking firm, Epitiro, found email delivery times, browsing speed, connection and gaming performance had all improved during Q4 compared with Q3 last year.
The company measures the performance of the premium services of eight Australian ISPs from the same locations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"There were small but significant gains across most of the variables we measure. [In Q4 2008] Australians were able to browse, surf, game and download a little faster than they could in Q3 [2008]," Epitiro said.
Of the eight Australian ISPs measured for performance by Epitiro, Telstra sat in top spot, followed by TPG, iiNet, Netspace, AAPT, Internode, Westnet and Optus.
"There was a lot of action in the lower half of the table, with Optus heading south to bottom spot from a previous ranking of fifth, and AAPT scooting up to fifth from second to bottom," Epitiro said.
"Optus slumped in certain areas such as ping, DNS response times and came last in email delivery, with average times around 10 minutes. These undermined what was an above average performance in other areas, such as download and connection speeds."
Local telecommunications analyst, Paul Budde, singled out offerings by companies such as Internode and iiNet as driving improvements in broadband performance.
"There has been significant improvement in the broadband market in Australia there is no doubt about it," he said.
However, Budde claimed the rankings should be taken with a grain of salt, as Telstra's sheer size and the fact that it owned the network infrastructure skewed the results.
"Obviously, the overall impact of a company like Telstra is larger than that of a smaller company… Part of the reason Telstra is in the lead is because it's their network, therefore they can manipulate it and they have been manipulating others who have to rely on Telstra for whatever they offer in the market," he said.
"This is why there are something like 30 or 40 disputes between various ISPs and Telstra before the ACCC. You can't look at these things in isolation – the fact that competitors are active is what stimulates Telstra."
Budde attributed Optus' poor result to the SingTel-owned telco's late entry into the broadband market.
Despite Epitiro's encouraging analysis of Australia's broadband performance, shadow communications minister, Nick Minchin, recently labelled 2008 a year of wasted opportunity, stagnation and uncertainty, claiming the Rudd government has delivered nothing in relation to high-speed broadband.
Responding to the Epitiro report, Telstra's public relations team pointed out that Acacia and Axia, the other remaining national NBN bidders, did not rank because they do not even offer any broadband services.
"The results cast a dark cloud over the capabilities and the record of those asking to be entrusted with the massive and critically important NBN project," Telstra said in a statement.
Its head of public policy and commuinications, David Quilty, said the telco had "moved on" from the NBN process.
Quilty claimed there was nothing to suggest the remaining NBN bidders were capable of building a reliable, secure, highly capable, upgradeable and financially sound NBN. Budde dismissed Quilty's comments as pure spin-doctoring.

RS have been the only one still buying from me. You should have a look at their stock.
Manufacturing is done in batches of 2500. As sales have been declining, it is not economic
viable for me to start a new batch. (I sold ~400 last year). I still have a few hundred in stock
but I am not set-up to e.g. sell them on ebay. Too much hassle with packaging, payment, shipment etc.

What is wxJavaScript?
wxJavaScript started as a project for porting wxWidgets
to JavaScript. But now, wxJavaScript is a lot more. It has bindings for
curl, sqlite, mysql, ... With mod_wxjs it can be used as
an Apache module to write dynamic (x)html pages in JavaScript. It also
contains a FastCGI program.
With wxJavaScript, you can write server-side scripts for generating (x)html pages, system scripts, GUI applications, ... in one of the most used programming languages: JavaScript.
The wxJavaScript Team
wxJavaScript is developed by a one-person team. Everything is developed during spare-time. wxWidgets and other libraries are not ported by generators (like SWIG) because they don't have the flexibility of a human being. There would be to much hacking on the generator to get the a good result. This also means that adding new libraries and features to wxJavaScript are expensive in time. If you need a feature and you can't add it yourself, you can always donate to the project to get me convinced to add that feature.
A Quick Start
Before you can use wxJavaScript on Windows (when you don't compile wxJavaScript yourself), you have to be sure that the VC++ redistributable files (msvcr90.dll, ...) are installed. wxJavaScript for Windows is compiled with Visual Studio 2008 Express. You can download these files here.
Unarchive the windows package in a directory of your choice. Now you should be able to run the wxJavaScript console program wxjs.exe. When it doesn't start, you probably forgot to install the VC++ dll's (see above).
Linux (Ubuntu)
wxJavaScript runs on Linux. At the moment you need to build wxJavaScript yourself. Download the source from the project website (or get it using subversion). Read build.txt, which is located in the source directory. It contains information about what you need to install/build before you can start to build wxJavaScript.
wxJavaScript has an Apache module which allows you to use JavaScript with the ported classes to create dynamic web pages. This Apache module is called mod_wxjs.
Running Scripts
Before you write scripts it's important to know how the JavaScript runtime is constructed. Read this introduction before writing scripts.
Use wxjs.exe to run your JavaScript files.
wxJS Usage: wxjs [/s] [/h] [/v] [/c <num>] [/o <str>] [/m <str>] [/cfg <str>] [/r <num>] [/utf16] [Scriptfile...] /s, --silent Don't show the status information /h, --help Shows this help. /v, --version Show the version of wxJavaScript. /c, --contextsize=<num> Set the context stack size for the JavaScript engine. Default is 8192. /o, --output=<str> Redirect the output to the file. /m, --modules=<str> A script that loads the necessary modules. /b, --branchlimit=<num> Sets the branchlimit (used for stopping endless loops for example) /r, --runtimesize=<num> Sets the runtime size. The default is 1MB. /i, --interactive Run in interactive mode /e, --encoding=<enc> The encoding of the scriptfile (default is UTF-8)
wxJavaScript uses modules (shared libraries) for extending JavaScript. wxJavaScript needs to know where to find these extension modules. Modules can be loaded using the Module class. An example:
wxjs.modules.gui = new Module("wxjs_gui.dll");
wxjs.modules.tpl = new Module("wxjs_tpl.dll");
wxjs.modules.sqlite = new Module("wxjs_sqlite.dll");
wxjs.modules.io = new Module("wxjs_io.dll");
When no /m argument is used, wxJavaScript looks for the environment variable WXJS_STARTUP. When WXJS_STARTUP is not set, wxJavaScript tries to load "modules.js" file from the application directory.
Read more about the modules. You can find all the docs of the ported classes there.
Embed wxJavaScript
It's possible to use wxJavaScript from your C++ applications. Look at the console program on how to use the Engine code.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game (Xbox 360) review
"While I've seen terms like "revolutionary" and "breathtaking" tossed at the movie with regularity, the game is more worthy of commentary such as "another movie license game". It's pretty and I had a decent time with it, but I can't say that it's anything more than a decent action title riding the coattails of a major cinematic release."

McGee bails out Iowa State in win over UMKC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Tyrus McGee hit six 3-pointers and finished with 20 points, and Iowa State rallied behind a big second-half run to beat Missouri-Kansas City 76-61 on Wednesday night.
Chris Babb added 12 points and Korie Lucious and Anthony Booker had 11 each for the Cyclones (9-3), who got everything they could handle from the Kangaroos (4-7) in the rare case of a Big 12 heavyweight visiting a school from the Summit League.
Estan Tyler matched a career-high with 17 points for the 'Roos, including a basket with just over 16 minutes left that gave them a 39-35 lead over the stunned Cyclones.
That's when Iowa State finally started to get some transition baskets going, and the result was a 14-0 run that spanned the next 5 minutes and allowed the Cyclones to seize control.

Like all other semiconductor devices, solar cells are sensitive to temperature. Increases in temperature reduce the band gap of a semiconductor, thereby effecting most of the semiconductor material parameters. The decrease in the band gap of a semiconductor with increasing temperature can be viewed as increasing the energy of the electrons in the material. Lower energy is therefore needed to break the bond. In the bond model of a semiconductor band gap, reduction in the bond energy also reduces the band gap. Therefore increasing the temperature reduces the band gap.
In a solar cell, the parameter most affected by an increase in temperature is the open-circuit voltage. The impact of increasing temperature is shown in the figure below.
The open-circuit voltage decreases with temperature because of the temperature dependence of I0. The equation for I0 from one side of a p-n junction is given by;
q is the electronic charge given in the constants page;
A is the area;
D is the diffusivity of the minority carrier given for silicon as a function of doping in the Silicon Material Parameters page;
L is the minority carrier diffusion length;
ND is the doping; and
ni is the intrinsic carrier concentration given for silicon in the Silicon Material Parameters page.
In the above equation, many of the parameters have some temperature dependence, but the most significant effect is due to the intrinsic carrier concentration, ni. The intrinsic carrier concentration depends on the band gap energy (with lower band gaps giving a higher intrinsic carrier concentration), and on the energy which the carriers have (with higher temperatures giving higher intrinsic carrier concentrations). The equation for the intrinsic carrier concentration is;
T is the temperature;
h and k are constants given in the constants page;
me and mh are the effective masses of electrons and holes respectively;
EGO is the band gap linearly extrapolated to absolute zero; and
B is a constant which is essentially independent of temperature.
Substituting these equations back into the expression for I0, and assuming that the temperature dependencies of the other parameters can be neglected, gives;
where B' is a temperature independent constant. A constant, γ, is used instead of the number 3 to incorporate the possible temperature dependencies of the other material parameters. For silicon solar cells near room temperature, I0 approximately doubles for every 10 °C increase in temperature.
The impact of I0 on the open-circuit voltage can be calculated by substituting the equation for I0 into the equation for Voc as shown below;
where EG0 = qVG0. Assuming that dVoc/dT does not depend on dIsc/dT, dVoc/dT can be found as;
The above equation shows that the temperature sensitivity of a solar cell depends on the open circuit voltage of the solar cell, with higher voltage solar cells being less affected by temperature. For silicon, EG0 is 1.2, and using γ as 3 gives a reduction in the open-circuit voltage of about 2.2 mV/°C;
The short-circuit current, Isc, increases slightly with temperature, since the band gap energy, EG, decreases and more photons have enough energy to create e-h pairs. However, this is a small effect and the temperature dependence of the short-circuit current from a silicon solar cell is;
or 0.06% per °C for silicon.
The temperature dependency FF for silicon is approximated by the following equation;
The effect of temperature on the maximum power output, Pm, is;
or 0.4% to 0.5% per °C for silicon.
300 K or 25 °C ?
Most semiconductor modeling is done at 300 K since it is close to room temperature and a convenient number. However, solar cells are typically measured almost 2 degrees lower at 25 °C (298.15 K). In most cases the difference is insignificant (only 4 mV of Voc) and both are referred to as room temperature. Occasionally, the modeled results need to be adjusted to correlate with the measured results.
At 300 K, ni = 1.01 x 1010 cm-3 and kT/q = 25.852 mV
At 25 °C (298.15 K), ni = 8.6 x 109 cm-3 and kT/q = 25.693 mV

Rookie Bests Rookie
Somewhere in Allentown, Tyler Cloyd woke up Wednesday morning expecting to take the mound at Coca-Cola Park as the IronPigs continued their quest for the playoffs against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Somewhere in suburban Philadelphia Cole Hamels woke up with a stomach virus, scratching him from his Wednesday start against the Mets.
So, at 7 p.m., instead of Coca-Cola Park's mound, Cloyd was standing on the mound at Citizens Bank Park. Normal AAA crowd of 10,000 would swell to over 40,000. Gotta have some jitters. He was touched for six hits and three runs in the first three innings and then retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced, working six innings for the 26th time in 27 starts this season between AA, AA and MLB.
The loss was his second of the entire and first since May 20 vs. Louisville.
Meanwhile, the Phillies offense was stymied by a Mets rookie hurler and New York improved to 7-1 at Citizens Bank Park this season. Single runs in the first two innings was it for the Phillies.
2008 Class
Cloyd was the Phillies 18th round selection in 2008, one of five right-handed pitchers from that draft who have been with the Phillies: Vance Worley (3rd round), Michael Stutes (11th), B. J. Rosenberg (13th) and Michael Schwimer (14th)
Chase Moving?
Todd Zolekci has a story on phillies.com about Chase willing to try to move to third base. Ten years ago he made that at Scranton-Wilkes-Barre. He committed 28 errors, 14 in the first 25 games and 14 in his last 68 games, including just five in his final 41 games.
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley won, 6-2, over 1st-place SWB. Homers by 1B Cody Overbeck (13) and 3B Pete Orr (4). RHS Scott Elarton (6-11) got the win; 7th save for LH Jake Diekman. IronPigs trail 2nd-place Pawtucket by 2 games in a bid for the postseason wildcard berth. 4 games left in regular season.
Reading lost, 6-2, to Binghamton. 3B Cody Asche 2-4, double. LF Darin Ruf (25th game in LF), didn't hit a home run but had a single and double (32) in 2 at-bats plus 2 walks. In Triple Crown bid, he leads the EL in homers (37) and RBI (98) and is second to Brock Holt in hitting, .322-.320. Reading has a 3-game lead over New Britain for second place and a postseason playoff position. Final home game of regular season is tonight and then 4 games in Portland, ME.
Clearwater split a pair at Daytona. LH Jesse Biddle (10-6) lost the opener, 4-1, 4 runs, 6 innings. Gave up 2 runs in the 2nd inning, ending a scoreless streak of 17 innings. 3-1 win for RHR Ryan O'Sullivan (2-1) in 2nd game; 4th save for Colton Murray. 1B Jim Murphy, 17th homer, 82nd RBI. Threshers are in 3rd place, 2 games out of first in the season's second half. First and second half winners qualify for the postseason. 4 games left in regular season, all against the 1st-half champs Dunedin.
Lakewood won, 10-5, at Delmarva. RF Kelly Dugan, 3 hits, RBI. 3B Maikel Franco, 2, hits, 81st RBI. Winner: LHS Ethan Stewart (5-9), 9 strikeouts, 6 innings. 2nd save for RH Yaris Sosa.
Williamsport lost, 4-3, to Jamestown. SS Ramon Quinn extended his hitting streak to 13 straight games with his league-leading 11th triple. 2B Cesar Hernandez leads the organization in triples, 12, in 128 games. Quinn has his 11 in 59 games.
August 30, 1913: With the Phillies leading, 8-6, in the top of the ninth inning, Baker Bowl fans in one bleacher section began to distract New York Giant batters by waving handkerchiefs, newspapers and straw hats. Umpire William Brennan forfeits the game to the Giants. NL President Thomas Lynch overrules Brennan and declares the Phillies the winners. New York appeals and the NL Board of Directors rules the game to be completed in New York on October 2. Phillies win, 8-6.

Evidently the math isn't working out so well in California. This is a situation that will need Federal help. In other words, Californians, like all Americans, will have to be taxed more so that they can bail themselves out.
Sound silly? That's what happens when the math doesn't work. The same people owe all the debts for all the levels of big government, for all corporate debt, and for all personal debt. The math stopped working a long time ago Death by Numbers
California controller to suspend tax refunds, welfare checks
John Chiang announces that his office will suspend $3.7 billion in payments owed to Californians starting Feb. 1, as a result of the state's cash crisis. Student grants are also affected.
By Evan Halper
8:25 PM PST, January 16, 2009
Reporting from Sacramento -- State Controller John Chiang announced today that his office would suspend tax refunds, welfare checks, student grants and other payments owed to Californians starting Feb. 1, as a result of the state's cash crisis.
Chiang said he had no choice but to stop making some $3.7 billion in payments in the absence of action by the governor and lawmakers to close the state's nearly $42-billion budget deficit. More than half of those payments are tax refunds.
The controller said the suspended payments could be rolled into IOUs if California still lacked sufficient cash to pay its bills come March or April.
"I take this action with great reluctance," Chiang said at a news conference in his office. But he said that without action to close the deficit, "there is no way to make it through February unscathed."
The payments to be frozen include nearly $2 billion in tax refunds; $300 million in cash grants for needy families and the aged, blind and disabled; and $13 million in grants for college students.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Housing Administration could limit the size of initial lump-sum payments that lenders offer reverse mortgage borrowers and require escrow accounts to cover taxes and insurance, under legislation the House passed today.
The bill, passed on a voice vote, is intended to help the government mortgage insurance agency work its way out of financial difficulty.
Reverse mortgages allow people over 62 to borrow against their home equity, stay in their home and use the money for living expenses. They can take lump sum or monthly payments.
Borrowers still must pay property taxes and insurance. Sale proceeds from the home go to the lender when the borrower dies or moves out.
The measure allows the FHA to change the terms for new reverse mortgages that it insures, so the agency doesn't have to follow the normal rule-making process that can stretch out months or even years.
"Hundreds of thousands of seniors currently utilize federal reverse home mortgages," said Rep. Denny Heck, D-Wash., who sponsored the bill with Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. "We need to act to stabilize the program."
FHA Commissioner Carol Galante said the bill would "greatly assist" the FHA's efforts to make the program financially sound while making sure that "seniors who have worked hard their entire lives can continue to enjoy their home throughout their retirement."
The FHA sought the legislation after incurring big losses in paying out claims for defaulted reverse mortgages when homeowners taking out large lump sum payments later ran into financial problems, often aggravated by falling home prices.
The agency is struggling with more than $5 billion in reverse mortgage losses this year alone may need as much as a $1 billion rescue package from the Treasury to bolster its reserves.
"This bill will greatly assist FHA's efforts to make the (reverse mortgage) program financially sound,
A similar measure has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.
In addition to limiting the first draw borrowers may receive and mandating escrow accounts, the FHA plans to require lenders to conduct financial assessments of borrowers.
The FHA is required by law to maintain reserves equal to 2 percent of the portfolio of loans it insures. It currently has about $32 billion in reserves.
The agency has until Sept. 30 to decide whether or not it will need the cash infusion from the Treasury, which does not require congressional approval and would be the first in the agency's 79-year history.
It has raised mortgage insurance premiums this year and started requiring most new borrowers to carry the insurance through the 30-year life of their loans.

Taking care of color-treated, curly hair is even more difficult than taking care of hair that is one or the other. But it doesn't have to be a task, if you look to specialized products to help you. Color-treated hair that isn't properly cared for can look unhealthy, dry and dull. The chemicals used in coloring your hair may damage your hair, which can leave broken ends, leaving the hair fragile and rough. You can use moisturizers to help re-hydrate your hair, and use products that are made specifically for hair that is color-treated. Products like these will help your hair without taking out any of the color.
The DevaCurl DevaFuser Kit is a great new way to dry your color-treated, curly hair and keep the temperature consistent through the whole drying process, which results in more even and healthy curls. The diffuser itself is shaped like a hand, to create shinier, softer, frizz-free hair, by using air flow that radiates 360 degrees, to dry all your curls inside and out. The DevaCurl DevaFuser Kit has a DevaFuser that features a design that's ergonomic, and it happens to be the first innovation in diffusers in sixty years or so. It dries your hair quickly, and is light-weight, so that it's comfortable to use. It will help to eliminate frizz, too! The kit includes a universal adapter, which means it can fit 99% of all hair dryer types, and it comes with a handy instruction guide.
For a daily, creamy conditioner that will help you manage your curls, try DevaCare One Condition. It's enriched with orange peel and vitamin C to leave your hair manageable and to slow the fading of color-treated hair. You will love this ultra-creamy, rich conditioner, specially made for chemically processed, colored and moisture-deprived hair. DevaCare One Condition provides color retention and maximum hydration. It's never tested on animals, and it's made in the USA.
DevaCare Arc Angell is a hair care product designed for salon professionals, but available in salons, for you, too. It will help to de-frizz your hair, and give your curls extra hold. It dissolves right away when you apply it to wet hair, and holds your curls without stiffness or stickiness.
How to Take Care of Black Children's Hair Appropriately
Hair extensions might seem like a new invention but in reality hair additions have been around as far back as the Egyptian times when both men and women work wigs. Since then hair pieces have been in and out of fashion ever since.
In 1800 fake hair was frowned upon and women left their hair to be natural until the Romantic era was in full swing when women wore elaborate Apollo knots. Come the mid Victorian era and hair pieces were used a lot more extensively. Then strangely in the early 20th century Edwardian women wore false hair additions to create the pompadour hairstyle which looked like a woman was wearing a teapot on her head. How that became fashionable I don't really know!
Around the 1920's less hair was the big thing so hair pieces took a dive around that time and it wasn't until the 1940s when long hair came back into fashion and women starting indulging again. Then in the 1960's big hair was back with a vengeance. Coils were the in thing or the updo as better known to us were seen of many women, this was created by very extravagant human hair pieces. Wigs made from real or fake hair were commonly worn around this time too and carried on into the early 70's. Come the 80's and big hair was in but only natural hair. Famous singers wore wigs but that was about it.
The clip-on hair extensions come in a variety of different colours and lengths are the best option for non permanent hair pieces. They are very easy to use and as long as you get the right hair colour and texture of hair, no one will know your hair is fake. In fact I have sat next to a work colleague for months not realising that her long hair was in fact clip on hair pieces. It was only whilst getting ready for our Christmas works do that she pulled her hair off! I was shocked to say the least as her natural hair was just shoulder length and I had no idea.

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
A Letter from our Executive Director
Hello ReForest London supporters,
I hope you and your families and friends are safe and healthy in these difficult times. Like everyone, we have been hit hard by COVID-19, but I want you to know that we are still here, our staff are safe, and we are still working (apart, but together) to make London greener and healthier. If you need to reach us, email is best, but we are checking messages.
The non-profit sector plays an incredibly important role in delivering social and environmental services. I'm sure you have seen many powerful examples lately. I feel like the pandemic has really revealed many of the weaknesses in our social systems that are not so obvious to everyone at other times. We need to be vigilant when the worst of this crisis passes to ensure we strengthen our community. Building resiliency into our communities, from the ground up, will be key.
Have you noticed that nature has become an essential service? Now, more than ever, we realize how important it is to be outside, how important it is to have some space to walk and enjoy nature, and how nature in the city makes the city entirely more live-able. Whether you are enjoying a lol park, a protected natural area, or even just a walk along a well-treed street, I hope you feel a positive effect on your sense of well-being. It's well-proven by now that even short exposure to nature lms us, reduces stress hormones, and improves our mental health.
Many of you have been asking about our spring programming. We have made the difficult decision to postpone all of our planned spring tree planting events. We expect to be back at it in fall and will look for your help in creating more needed natural areas in the city. For the moment, all spring tree-giveaways are on hold. We know that they are popular and there is a new appreciation of having trees around. When it's safe, we are ready to go. We hold out hope that by June, we will be able to invite you to adopt a new tree and help your yards and our neighbourhoods be leafier and healthier.
We are running some tree and nature-based activities for you or your family to do at home and outside, and we are building up some interesting workshops and training for current and budding environmentalists. See details here about our Seeds to Forest: Home School Edition and about Signal Boost Initiative - Workshops & Webinars.
I sincerely hope that you n find a way to let nature help you through this time. Take the time to notice nature, to appreciate it, let it soak into you.
Best wishes. Stay well. Stay safe.
Dean Sheppard
Executive Director

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'chicken cordon bleu' tag.
How was your weekend, Internet? Ours was just as mundane as usual. Or was it?
One slept in whilst the other one went grocery shopping and then carried all four bags into the house all by herself. One got a haircut while the other one was stuck with a bunch of needles all over her body in a room filled with Brian Eno's tunes. One studied Polish while the other mastered a few new French phrases before our trip to Paris in May. Surprisingly both enjoyed the Chopin concert despite their paralyzing fear of highly potential boredom. One has donated three bags of clothes, shoes and purses to SOJOURN, a charitable organization that supports battered women and underprivileged children in Los Angeles, while the other has only one closet with just enough clothes to cover his back. He also read a very hopeful and BRIGHT GREEN interview with Alex Steffen published in our beloved magazine THE SUN.
What about those needles, you may wonder. A few months ago I met this gorgeous woman Tamara ZumMallen through my dear friend Missy. Even though we haven't known each other long, already we have shared many laughs and even some tears together.
Tamara happens to be a very knowledgeable and experienced acupuncturist, hence last Saturday I ended up in her bed. Wait, what I mean by that is that I was laying ON her therapist's bed in her office at the HEALING HANDS WELLNESS CENTER at 414 N. Larchmont Ave, here in Los Angeles. While I rested garments-free under the crisp white sheets, she gently but skillfully inserted two needles into my feet, four more were placed on my belly, one on my chef's wrist, two in my ears, and one straight into my third eye.
While it may sound like a quickie, it was nothing but. Tamara began the session with sitting me comfortably on the bed; then she conducted a thorough interview. We went through my health history, eating habits, regularity of my menses, the shenanigans I recently got myself into, and my thoughts on Jamie Oliver's FOOD REVOLUTION in America. The show had aired on ABC the previous night.
Speaking of which, for crying out loud, how is it possible that a six-year old child does NOT know what a potato looks like?? Perhaps a tomato? Anything? Jason and I were watching the program in terror, while tears welled up in our eyes.
In the meantime, the needles were prepped to stand upright around my bellybutton. At Tamara's request, I stuck my tongue out at her. It was dark and purple-ish, enough for her to determine mild blood stagnation with kidney QI deficiency. She recommended eating black and blue foods to balance out my kidneys. Instantly I asked DOES CHOCOLATE COUNT FOR BLACK FOOD? Luckily it did, as long as it is dark and raw, or at least organic. Next the needles helped me get un-stuck.
It was a thrilling and yet relaxing experience. What I loved about that Chinese healing method is that it has a very holistic approach to one's health. If you have a headache, the acupuncturist will ask you a series of maybe 20 questions about everything but your head to find the source of pain. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Western medicine adapted the same attitude instead of just curing the symptoms? While I'm not trying to doom our doctors and their astounding accomplishments in the medical field, I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the system they've been taught and have since practiced.
(Oh, I am so getting an email from Jason's dad, Doctor Jimmy Harkins, with his take on the matter later today. I hope he'll be kind to me. He always is.)
All that typing made me hungry. While I go pop in a few blueberries and black olives, I suggest you spruce up your chicken dinner with my recipe. How does CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH GOAT CHEESE, CRANBERRIES, AND HERBS sound? You can serve it with sweet potatoes or a giant bowl of greens mixed with avocado, tomatoes and dressed with a light, lemon vinaigrette. After the din-din, your mate will kiss your feet in gratitude, and then some. I don't need to hear about that part of your evening, but you enjoy!
Wash your hands and set your station ready. If making a dinner for two, you'll need:
– 2 chicken breasts, organic and free-range
– 1 egg + 1 tsp of water, for egg-wash
– 2-3 tbsp of flour (any kind, choose the healthier option)
– 2-3 tbsp of breadcrumbs
– kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
– 3 oz of goat cheese, soft
– 2 tbsp of dried cranberries, soaked in hot water for 5 minutes and then drained and roughly chopped
– 1 cup of fresh basil/dill/parsley/cilantro (use one, two, or all if desired), roughly chopped
– 1 tbsp of fresh thyme
– 1 tbsp of olive oil
– 2 plastic zip-lock bags, large
– meat-tenderizing tool (could be a rolling pin)
– 4 small bowls
Beat the egg and water with a fork in one bowl, and use another two bowls for flour and breadcrumbs respectively. Season your flour with a solid pinch of salt and pepper, while the breadcrumbs – with a few springs of crushed fresh thyme and your olive oil.
In a separate bowl, mix the goat cheese with herbs and cranberries, and season gently with salt and pepper. Feel free to pimp your filling with the zest of a lemon, too! Mix well.
Place each chicken breast in a separate plastic bag and using your meat tenderizer pound it evenly until it's about 1/4" thick. Remove it from the bag with a pair of tongs and place on a plastic cutting board (that had been devoted in your house solely to raw meats. I don't want to mother you, but make sure you keep the raw meat away from EVERYTHING else to avoid possible contamination. That means you must wash your hands and anything the meat has touched in hot water and with soap when done). Season both sides with salt and pepper. Using a small spoon, scoop some of the cheese filling and spread it evenly across the chicken fillet, leaving about 1/2" strip clean around the edge. With your clean hands fold the longer sides of the chicken inwards, and then roll the whole thing making sure all filling is secured inside it. Repeat the procedure with the remaining chicken breast.
Now, dip each stuffed chicken breast first in the flour and coat it lightly on all sides, then the egg-wash, and finish with the breadcrumbs.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put into a preheated oven at 350°. Bake about 20 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown. When done, remove from the oven and let the meat rest for about 10 minutes. Cut each piece into 1/2" thick pinwheels and serve as desired.
That's my take on CHICKEN CORDON BLEU. It's elegant, creative, delectable and never boring. Bon appetit!

One of the big problems with current solar cells is that they aren't able to absorb infrared light — which accounts for around a third of the solar energy that hits the planet. A new type of nanomaterial, a tiny antenna, could solve that problem and make our solar panels far more efficient.
Solar panels have what's known as a "bandgap", and any light below that threshold frequency just passes straight through, not generating any power. But the new technique embeds tiny little nanoantennae into the silicon of the panel, constructed of gold and titanium, and coated with tin oxide. When the infrared light hits the antenna, it generates a "hot electron," which jumps from the antenna into the silicon, creating a current.
The technology has the potential to go beyond just solar cells, and could potentially be used for photosensing, imaging, and light detection.

Since I'm away most of this week, the winners will be announced on Monday. Good luck! Contest closed
Makes one 3-×-4-foot seating chart with approximately 50 seating cards
• One 3-×-4-foot sheet Peg-Board (Peg-Board can be purchased in modular and custom sizes from your
local hardware store or at Lowes, www.lowes.com. Adjust the size to fit the number of guests at your wedding. Each seating card requires approximately a 5-×-7-inch area of Peg-Board.)
• 1 pint white paint (optional, if Peg-Board is not prefinished)
• 1 roll kraft paper
• 50 wooden clothespins
• 6 to 10 rolls decorative tape in a variety of colors and patterns
• Ten 8 1/2-×-11-inch sheets white text-weight paper
• 1 roll thin nickel or copper wire
• Peg-Board Seating Card template (available online at www.chroniclebooks.com/handmade-weddings)
• Inkjet printer, with extra cartridges
• Font: Remington Weather
• 6 to 8 sheets newsprint (optional)
• Paint tray (optional)
• Paint roller (optional)
• Scissors
• Glue dots
• Craft knife
• Cutting mat
• Ruler
• Masking tape (optional)
1. Prepare your Peg-Board.
Lay newsprint on the floor of your work area, and lean your Peg-Board against a wall or table on top of it. If using, roll a coat of paint onto the board. Let it dry. Apply another layer if desired. Trim the kraft paper into panels that are sufficient to cover the back of your Peg-Board completely. Affix to the back of your Peg-Board with glue dots.
2. Decorate your clothespins.
Affix a strip of decorative tape along the length of each clothespin. Smooth it flat. Trim off any excess with a craft knife. Repeat on the other side.
3. Print your seating cards.
Using a word-processing program or the Peg-Board Seating Card template, customize your seating cards. Print them using an inkjet printer onto text-weight paper; because they are printed on both sides (guest' s names on the front, table number on the back), print at least one test run to ensure proper alignment. Trim along the crop marks provided using a craft knife, ruler, and cutting mat.
4. Assemble your seating chart.
Decide how you would like to space your rows of seating cards. For each clothespin, thread an 8-inch length of wire through the spring (figure 1). Insert the wire ends into a hole in the Peg-Board, pierce through the kraft paper, twist a few times to secure the clothespin, and flatten the ends against the board, trimming with scissors if necessary (figure 2). If desired, secure the wire ends with masking tape (recommended if you are transporting the assembled board to your venue). Clip your seating cards to your clothes-pins in alphabetical order.

In a future United States that is on such profound cultural lockdown that it has become a version of North Korea, only a psychic government bureaucrat can fight back. Laura Bynum's Veracity tackles the rise and fall of totalitarian America.
Though reviewers have compared the book to 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale, really Bynum's action-packed story is more like dystopian chick lit. It simply doesn't have the strong, critical edge of those other novels. Instead of leaving us shaken by a strong social critique of trends in our own world, we're given a strawman bad guy to tear down and replace with what amounts to our own current system. Bynum uses her dark vision to urge a return to liberal heartland America, where good Christian values include tolerance and free thought.
Like many chick lit protagonists, our hero Harper is a woman whose main problems are her taxing job and raising her daughter Veracity as a single mom. It just so happens that her taxing job is working for the government as a psychic spy, keeping an eye on people who may be breaking the rules. The main rule-breaking she investigates has to do with people who speak "red list words" that are changed on a weekly basis. And unfortunately the word "veracity" has turned up on the red list. Which puts considerable strain on her relationship with her daughter.
Recruited at a young age into her job, Harper has always been dissatisfied but never questioned her role in the government program called BodySpeak. For at least 30 years, the government has been putting computerized devices into everyone's throats that monitor what they say - and shock or kill them if it's a red list word. In a vague, hand-wavy backstory, we learn the government has done this by manufacturing an "epidemic" which supposedly killed everyone in the world and most of the US (in reality, the world is still there, and the government killed its own citizens). Now the totalitarian regime wants to consolidate its power further by keeping tabs on people who are merely thinking of disobeying instead of talking about it. So they create special schools for people like Harper, who can read auras and do astral projection and all kinds of other cool psychic stuff.
When Veracity's name is redlisted, it's the last straw. Harpers's ready to rebel. A mysterious recruiter for the underground resistance (which is literally located underground) leaves her a note, and she decides to trade in her life of bureaucratic safety and power, throwing her lot in with a group of professors and young warriors who remember "the time before" when people in America could speak freely. And when Jesus was represented as a man bleeding on the cross, instead of as a man in a business suit.
Though the politics and worldbuilding in Veracity are uneven at best, Harper makes for a great action story protagonist. She has righteousness on her side, and her psychic powers are just plain cool. As a dystopian novel, the book isn't much of a success. It's hard to believe the entire US could be transformed into North Korea over a period of 30 years, and we're never given any realistic reasons why the current government was able to seize power so absolutely. And some of the moralizing about religion and sex is just embarrassingly silly. But if you focus on the chick lit aspects of the story - Harper's discovery of her own power, and her slow-burning romance with a dangerous "blue coat" shock trooper - you'll find that it's a surprisingly fun, escapist read.

November 19, 2019 (The Washington Post) The photos all show seemingly mundane moments of family life: A parent bathing an infant in a kitchen sink, another wrangling toddlers into a stroller, or coaxing a forkful of food into a daughter's mouth. If the parents had all been mothers, the photos wouldn't be particularly exceptional. But all of the images are of men — fathers who, given generous parental paid leave by their government, chose to stay at home with their child for at least six months.
The images are part of a photo exhibition called "Swedish Dads," a series of portraits of 45 fathers on display through November at the Embassy of Sweden in Kyiv. The exhibition, by Swedish photographer Johan Bävman, has toured 65 countries, but this is its first time in Ukraine. As he debuts his photo series for Ukrainian audience, Bävman hopes to tell a story of gender equality in parenting, of a new perception of masculinity and what a society could look like if it truly prioritized both.
Yesterday the exhibition was shown at the Office of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine

Warner Peak (OR) Climber's Log
calipidder - Jun 25, 2019 1:21 pm Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2019So. Many. Mosquitoes
Fastest bushwhack ascent ever, trying to keep away from the swarming devil bugs. Not a particularly enjoyable climb until hitting the ridge where the views opened up.
chris.kienle - Jul 8, 2014 12:13 am Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2014off trail adventure
Started from Hot Springs Campground with Dude (black lab) and hiked along the road to Barnhardi cabin. Got bored of the road hike and spotted a moderately steep assent to the plateau. Set off trail west of the cabin along a west tending slope (through the thick sage brush) to the top of a small creek, followed the contour north around the head of the creek, went straight up to a groove of mountain mahogany trees, then north northeast to a dry drainage, and finally due north to the plateau about 1.5 miles from the summit. Hiked cross country along the plateau edge, passed the head of Degarmo Canyon and directly up to the summit. On the way back scrambled straight down the mountain to the jeep track and back to the truck. Great adventure!
Nick Turtura - Jul 15, 2013 5:49 pm Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2013Beautiful
Beautiful oasis in the middle of Hell, oops, I mean South East Oregon. Needless to say I bagged this one after Pueblo, Beatys, and Blue. So, needless to say to greenery was a refreshing change. Long road hike into the mountain, but worth it.
Troy B - Jun 18, 2011 12:02 pm Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2011Route: Hot Springs TH
Early morning hike from the Hot Springs Camp/TH. Beautiful sunrise and excellent views.
Swithich - Jun 19, 2010 11:04 pm Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2010Summit 8 of 9
Caught this one, after Pueblo, late in the day. It is a long walk up from the Hot Springs. Further, the brush is high when passing up from the saddle on Barnhardt Road. Use the gully for an easier accent. We tapped both summits just to make sure, as we really couldn't tell which one was higher (even though we knew because of the map).
Fun traverse and a good end to a long trip through SE Oregon before heading back for the night to Klamath Falls. Until next time SE Oregon.
Paul McClellan - Oct 2, 2009 11:23 pm Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2009Warm early autumn day
My wife Linda, our canine Rudi, and I parked just before the last stream crossing before the Skyline Trail/Guano Creek junction on Barnhardy Road. We traversed through thick sagebrush to the second draw north of the summit and hiked straight up there, then traversed the ridge to the summit. We descended the same draw but took a more direct route from there to the Barnhardy Road and followed it back to the vehicle.
calebEOC - May 11, 2008 8:35 pm Date Climbed: May 10, 2008Lots of snow still
Second time up on hart mountain this year, first time up to the summit of warner peak. Quite a bit of snow on mountain still, and fairly windy. Parked at Garibaldi cabin and took direct route to summit.
Bob Bolton - Oct 22, 2006 10:54 pm Date Climbed: Oct 14, 2006East slopes
Picked this one off on my way to California. Drove to the saddle just east of the summit and hiked from there. Beautiful day and enjoyable but short hike.
cjwhat - Sep 7, 2006 8:41 pm Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2006Easy hike
Drove to base of east face on 'Skyline Drive'. Took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach summit. Ascended 1st gulley on right (N), but descended next gulley to N which was way easier. Climbed with Kyle and Rico (10 years old).
jfrishmanIII - Jun 16, 2006 3:54 amCold in May
Hiked from Hot Springs up to the crest in May 2003. I didn't summit, mainly because I didn't know where the main summit was. Quite cold. I slept out and woke up at four in the morning with three inches of snow on my bag. The hot springs were a godsend!
Dennis Poulin - Jun 16, 2005 10:40 pmRoute Climbed: East side from Warner Camp Date Climbed: 18 September 2004
I followed the road on a cold day. It was spitting snow and lots of antelope were around.
cmc56789 - Jun 16, 2005 4:01 amRoute Climbed: from Hot Springs campground Date Climbed: June 14, 2005
I drove down from Portland overnight and did this early in the morning. Very neat area with lots of wildlife. It took about four and a half hours round trip. I was nearly eaten alive by mosquitos. The only break I got from them was on the windy summit, where I was treated to some nice views of the surrounding area. Aftre this one, I drove to the Granite Mountain TH and got some much needed sleep.
Dean - Jun 3, 2005 3:59 pmRoute Climbed: Hot Spring Th Date Climbed: May 27, 2005
6 hours RT, 4 up and 2 down. Mud was the big slow down but once I finally got on the mountain itself, it was a nice cross country ramble. Great views but I didn't linger long due to the threatening (think lightning) weather.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Highlight Agenda on Early Education and Support for Unprecedented Investment in Early Learning
Education Secretary Arne Duncan and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Highlight Agenda on Early Education and Support for Unprecedented Investment in Early Learning
Tim Granholm, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, (202) 690-6887, email@example.com
Today, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius highlighted the Obama Administration's blueprint to improve and strengthen early learning programs, and announced their support for efforts in Congress to answer the President's challenge to invest $10 billion in the Administration's early learning reforms. The proposed Early Learning Challenge Fund will advance a standards and outcomes-driven framework to improve the quality of early childhood programs across the country.
In March, as President Obama announced his agenda for improving educational outcomes from cradle through career, he challenged states to develop a cutting-edge plan to raise the quality of their early learning programs: "Show us how you'll work to ensure that children are better prepared for success by the time they enter kindergarten. If you do, we will support you with an Early Learning Challenge Grant that I call on Congress to enact."
Legislation reflecting the President's plan was introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this week by Congressman George Miller, the Chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. The Senate is expected to consider its version of the bill following the August recess.
Reacting to today's announcement by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan, President Obama said, "With this unprecedented investment and challenge, we will significantly raise the bar in our nation's early learning programs. Thanks to the extraordinary leadership and collaboration between the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, we're taking exciting new steps to ensure the educational success of a new generation of America's children."
During remarks to education and health care stakeholders, Secretary Duncan said, "We need to challenge ourselves to do better for kids. We know that the years prior to kindergarten are critical in shaping how children learn and succeed in school. The President's Early Learning Challenge Fund will undoubtedly be a major step forward."
"We know how important early childhood is to long-term health and successful development" Secretary Sebelius said. "The Early Learning Challenge Fund reinforces the President's commitment to improve the quality of early childhood programs across the country and ensure more children get the care and education they need. Giving our children a strong start in life is one of the best investments we can make in America's future."
The President's Early Learning Challenge Fund would create a unique and unprecedented collaboration between the U.S. Department of Education and the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and would incorporate two key funding elements:
Quality Pathways Grants, as awards to high-capacity States pursuing models of reform and excellence in early learning. Innovative plans would already reflect significant progress toward establishing the elements of a comprehensive, high quality early learning system needed to improve quality and learning outcomes for children, and a desire to take such improvements to scale.
Development Grants, as awards to a population of developing states that show promise for strengthening and expanding their early learning system, but who need additional assistance to launch a standards-based, outcomes-driven system.
The proposed Fund will encourage states to set a high standard of quality across all of their early learning programs, ensure that a greater number of children participate in high-quality programs, and deliver the training and support needed to ensure that more children are prepared with the cognitive, social, and emotional skills necessary for kindergarten success.

If you've been following the Suede Sofa, you are no doubt familiar with what we call the "LiVe-It LiSt" which is similar to a bucket list but with the focus on living every day to the full rather than on dying. With the "Live-It List" I was DeTeRmiNeD to take care of all my "unfinished business" in 2012. One of those items was to PubLiSh a book that has been saved on my computer for nearly three years. Well, I can now check that item off my list. My books were delivered to my house this past Friday. What made this accomplished goal even SwEeTeR is that my family, father-in-law, and Lara's family were there to witness me cutting open the box and seeing my book for the very first time. A very sweet moment indeed.
My book, "The Truth Behind Real Success", compares the definition of success given to us by our society and culture with that of real, AuThEnTiC success. For more information you can check it out at Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

I don't play video games, as they destroyed my life. Thanks God I have another life left…
So I don't play "Pokemon go" but, as you can see, it touched me too, as became viral in several weeks. So, as long as there is a light at the other end of the tunnel, there is a hope. The hope dies the last. I hope it won't die in terrible pains…

Most women don't have to celebrate their wedding anniversary on live television, but most women aren't Michelle Obama.
When the First Lady called into Mix 94.1 in Las Vegas, she spoke about the loving shout-out Barack gave her at the Presidential debate this past Tuesday (October 2) in honor of their 20th anniversary.
"It was very sweet," she said. "But I thought to myself 'don't use your two minutes on that!"
Though some have been critical of Obama's performance at this week's face-off with Republican candidate Mitt Romney, Michelle was proud of her husband.
"He spoke directly to the American people," she said. "He's proven time and again he's the person we can trust. He has a clear plan to move this country forward."
The First Lady admitted being President can be very stressful, but Barack somehow manages to withstand the criticism.
"Throughout his life, he has been that person who can handle multiple tasks," she said. "He is able to work at crisis level."
Michelle, who urged listeners to register to vote, says she likes to watch HGTV to unwind from all the election chaos.
"There's no political advertising on HGTV," she explained. "Even we get tired of it."
She says that her youngest daughter, Sasha, is a big fan of House Hunters, the show where home buyers are shown three different houses and asked to choose which one is their favorite.
"She's already at 11 figuring out what house she wants to live in," Michelle joked. "So she's using this to kind of sort through the world in housing."
The First Lady also talked about the infamous gray nail polish (Vogue by Artistic Nail Design of Beverly Hills) she wore during her speech at the DNC. She admitted she's used to people being interested in who designed her dress or how she styles her hair, but this was the first time anyone cared about what was on her fingers.
Even weeks after people are still going crazy over it.
"Doing the campaign trail I have people grab my hands and go, 'It's the nail polish!'"
And when will the Obama's celebrate their wedding anniversary? Michelle said they plan to celebrate this Saturday when they both have a break from the campaign trail.
Listen to the full interview with Mrs.Obama here.

METS: Matt Harvey struggles in loss to the Marlins
For some reason, the lowest-scoring team in the majors adds up to big trouble for Matt Harvey.
The last-place Marlins once again stalled the NL's starting pitcher in the All-Star game, and Miami beat the New York Mets 3-0 Thursday.
Harvey (8-3) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings and struck out eight as the New York Mets lost 3-0 to the Marlins.
"My job is to put up zeros regardless of what else is going on," Harvey said. "I only have one concentration, and that's my job at hand. I'm going to say that until I'm blue in the face. My job is to put up zeros, and obviously I didn't do that today. I'm not happy about it."
It was the first time the Mets had been shut out since May 25 against Atlanta.
"He deserves a better fate than what he has had," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He has pitched great. We just don't score many runs."
Harvey's three shortest outings this season have come at Marlins Park. He is 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA in four starts against the Marlins this season while going 8-2 with a 1.97 ERA against the rest of the majors.
"It's not like I take this start or this team any different than against any other team," Harvey said. "It's just been that team this year that happens to squeeze out some runs."
Tom Koehler (3-6) pitched six effective innings as he gave up five hits, walked five and struck out five.
"The key is really not to think about it too much," Koehler said. "I was facing the Mets. You put up zeros against anybody who's pitching, your team tends to be in pretty good shape."
Logan Morrison's two-out single broke a scoreless tie in the sixth. Donovan Solano added a two-run single later in the inning.
"He's got good stuff. Right now he's one of the best pitchers in baseball and so I think the whole team feels good because he lost today," Solano said.
The Marlins have the worst record in the NL.
"I don't know that I can explain it," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "For whatever reason we really lock it in against him and we've just been able to kind of rise to the occasion."
Reliever A.J. Ramos pitched two innings and Steve Cishek worked the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances.
New York went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. They left a runner in scoring position in five of the first six innings and stranded 11 overall.
"There's no secret," Collins said. "If we knew what it was, we'd fix it. Guys aren't driving in runs. There's nothing wrong with the approach. We're not getting good swings at the pitches we can hit and we're fouling them off. Therefore we're not driving them in."
Ike Davis popped out with the bases loaded to end the third. Juan Lagares tripled with one out in the fourth, but the Mets could not drive him in, and Jake Marisnick made a diving catch in center field and threw to first to double up David Wright to end the fifth.
"That play Jake made in center field is a game-changer," Koehler said. "That ball falls and get by him we're talking two runs there and another guy in scoring position. That play right there really changed the game."
Meanwhile, the Marlins managed just one hit through five innings, a single by Koehler in the third after Harvey struck out four in a row.
"Things were fine until the sixth inning," Harvey said.
Juan Pierre pinch-hit for Koehler and singled to lead off the sixth, making him 7 for 15 lifetime against Harvey. Christian Yelich followed with a single that put runners at the corners with no outs.
Harvey retired the next two batters, but Morrison singled for a 1-0 lead. After Harvey hit Ed Lucas with a pitch to load the bases, Solano singled to chase Harvey.
Justin Turner and Lagares each had two hits for the Mets.
NOTES: Harvey is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts at Marlins Park. ... Marlins rookie RHP Jose Fernandez (7-5, 2.71 ERA), who is coming off a 13-strikeout performance against the Pirates, will take the mound on Friday against Cleveland RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (8-5, 4.17) to wrap up the final series in a 10-game homestand. The Mets will travel to Kansas City and start RHP Dillon Gee (7-8, 4.13) on Friday against RHP Wade Davis (5-9, 5.50).
