Citing consumer demand for background checks on potential paramours met online, services offering to root out the baddies have recently sprung up. Hooray! All of our worries about dating online are over! Not so fast.
Now that 20 million Americans have joined 1,500 dating sites in the endless search for love (or a piece of ass; no judgment!), lawmakers and entrepreneurs have finally caught wind of the fact that what people want is some security and assurance that the person with whom they're corresponding isn't actually a serial rapist, or their own uncle.
Sites like MyMatchChecker.com offer users a background check on site users in exchange for a small fee. (I usually prefer the free but less fancy "google.com" in vetting potential dates, but that might be because I'm cheap.) Subscribers to the date-check service can rest assured that the person with whom they're going to grab a drink and possibly awkwardly make out is legit.
Sites like True.com automatically crosscheck users' data with public records to make sure that subscribers aren't married and pretending to be available or creepy sex perverts, but other sites say that the background checks give users a false sense of security.
Whatever you choose to do and whatever site you plan to use, make sure you're safe if you're dating someone you meet online. For example, don't put your social security number in your dating profile. Don't go out with anyone whose "about me" section reads, simply, "currently doing time for murder." And mostly don't meet anyone for a date if they're really evasive about why they can't go out with you when it's a full moon; that usually means they're a werewolf.
In the meantime, I might establish a site of my own, called "DidIAlreadyMakeOutWithYou.com" to prevent potentially embarrassing repeat tongue slapping performances.

Simplifying CAD/CAM Programming
Manufacturing has come a long way since the introduction of CAD/CAM software. CAD/CAM has helped shops increase efficiencies dramatically, giving programmers the ability to quickly design complex parts and communicate the information directly to the CNC. But for a large amount of the programming that takes place in shops each day, the complex capabilities of a typical CAD/CAM package may be considerably more than is needed, potentially slowing down the programming process and restricting the work capacity of good chipmakers who don't happen to be proficient with the software.
Easier to Understand
Kentech Inc. offers KipwareT (for turning applications) and KipwareM (for milling applications) conversational software to assist users quickly and efficiently with creating simpler, everyday programs for turning, boring, grooving and threading. The term "conversational" is used in the product name to describe the use of simple fill-in-the-blank forms to create G-code programs for a series of standard machining shapes and operations such as bar feeding, turning, boring, OD and ID grooving and threading, short and deep hole drilling, tapping and more.
Featured Content
By completing the fields in the fill-in-the-blank form, the user describes the shape in the machining operations. Roughing and finishing, along with corner breaks, chamfering or rounding, can be created with the click of a button. Grooving programs can be created for simple or complex grooves with user-defined side angles. Threading menus create simple or complex thread cutting with multiple angles. No drawing or drawing experience is required.
Optional live tool programming can create G-code programs for live tools using the conversational screens. Operations include drilling and milling along both the X and the Z axis. For shapes that don't fall into the standard category, Kipware Conversational comes with a CAD-like sketch pad. By either drawing the tool path directly or importing a DXF file, users can create G-code programs for non-standard shapes. The sketch pad is an intuitive drawing package that will perform calculation of tangencies and intersecting lines automatically. Once the tool path is drawn, operators can use a conversational menu to describe the machining parameters and create the G-code program. Programming for canned cycles and cutter comp are also included.
The software is designed to allow users to create each machining operation to complete the total machining of the workpiece. Each time an operation is programmed through a conversational screen or the sketch pad, it is added to the tree. These operations can then be brought back into the conversational screen at any time for editing. In addition, users can take previously created cycles, add them to the tree, bring them into the conversational screen and make any changes, and create completely new cycles. Still, no G-code programming is required.
Once all the operations are created, users can use the main program feature to link them together with tools and related calls, and then create the complete G-code program. Once complete, the G-code program is displayed in the G-code editor.
While operations are being created, the optional Kipware TP toolpath plotting application can display the tool path on the screen. Users can plot individual cycles or all of the operations in the tree. Kipware TP is a full G-code editor and toolpath plotting application with an assortment of real world shopfloor features.
Added Features
The most recent version of the software uses Microsoft's .NET Version 4 framework for an improved user interface. This interface features an enhanced text editor that is G-code specific and can be used to edit any G-code, including that produced outside of Kipware.
Because the software is PC-based, and not CNC-control based, it allows conversational CNC programming to take full advantage of the power of the PC, while not being limited by the CNC control environment.
Using KipwareM, operators can have any cycles that are created in the conversational menus (including text and engraving) auto-rotated to any user-defined angle by entering the angle into the rotation field.
Users can load previously created cycles from a disk, edit them in the conversational menus, copy them, and use them to create completely new cycles. These features mean faster and less redundant programming for items such as family of parts or recurring shapes and features.
Cutting direction is user-defined for milling and turning. Users can select CW or CCW cutting for all milling cycles and can elect turning or facing for turning cycles. Individual directions can be selected for both roughing and finishing. And all roughing and finishing operations can be programmed from a single menu.
The addition of Kipware Conversational allows shops to focus their CAD/CAM personnel on the more complex workpieces while machine operators can quickly perform the simpler, everyday programming. With shops finding a shortage of skilled metalworking and CAD/CAM personnel, use of this software could potentially ease the programming burden and increase work flow.

Glider Lands on Foundation Building
POSTED ON: October 2, 2012
Like a giant bird that has alighted on its way South, The Glider by Massimo Scolari, has landed on the Foundation Building. See the process it took to get there by scrolling through the pictures above.
Indicative of a recurring motif in Scolari's work, the wing-like sculpture arrives to celebrate the Italian architect, artist and designer's return to Cooper Union in a new retrospective of the maestro's work, Massimo Scolari: The Representation of Architecture, 1967-2012. After an opening reception on Tuesday October 2nd, the exhibit opens to the public from October 3 through November 21st. Scolari was previously faculty of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture in 1977-78 and was concurrently the subject of a retrospective at the school.
Installed during a rainstorm, getting the The Glider, a four-hundred pound wooden and metal sculpture with a 22-foot wingspan, onto the third floor balcony of the historic building required a great deal of planning. Architecture faculty Markus Schulte provided the structural specifications to ensure the installation could sustain potential wind gusts and remain secure throughout its exhibition. Jeff Carter, the original fabricator of the sculpture, then built the 1,600-pound metal base on which the sculpture now rests. Lifted by a crane aquired with the help of the F. J. Sciame Construction Co. the base had to be bolted to the balcony and then the wings were floated up and carefully secured to the base. The full process appears in a timeline of photos at the show.

Critics weigh Blumenthal's words
"I wore the uniform in Vietnam and many came back to all kinds of disrespect. Whatever we think of war, we owe the men and women of the armed forces our unconditional support."
The occasion was the Stamford Veterans Day parade Nov. 9, 2008.
The speaker was Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, as quoted by The Advocate.
A trove of potential bulletin board material was unearthed Tuesday by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers from its archives quoting the once seemingly unflappable U.S. Senate candidate on his military record, one that he has been accused of embellishing.
During a May 18, 2009, military board tribute to veterans in Shelton, Blumenthal was quoted by the Connecticut Post as saying, "When we returned from Vietnam, I remember the taunts, the verbal and even physical abuse we encountered."
A year later at a Stratford Memorial Day event covered by the Post, Blumenthal dropped the "we" reference but didn't go out of his way to say that he never went to Vietnam.
"I am called general all the time in my role, but the highest rank I will ever have in life is as a sergeant in the United States Marines," said Blumenthal, who went on to comment how tough it was for veterans of the unpopular conflict to return to "taunts and jeers."
Blumenthal's critics claim that the Democrat's veiled references to serving in Vietnam, which the candidate himself qualified as rare and unintentional misstatements but now number at least five, establish a pattern of duplicity that calls his credibility into question.
"At one point I wanted to go up to him a couple of years ago and say, `Hey Dick, you're giving the impression you were on the battlefield,' " said former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn. "I thought that might come back to bite him."
Characterizing him as a friend of "high integrity," Shays said Blumenthal made it clear earlier in his career that he served in the Marine Corps Reserve during the Vietnam era but not in the war itself.
"He evolved from being pretty clear about his service to being somewhat nebulous about it and really giving a false impression about his service," Shays said.
A spokeswoman for Blumenthal, who was the subject of a New York Times report Tuesday suggesting that he lied about his military record, contested claims that Blumenthal duped the public.
"Like I said, he acknowledged that on a few occasions that he may have misspoke," said Maura Downes of the Blumenthal campaign. "He used the word `in' instead of `during.' "
Downes said the solidarity shown by veterans who attended an afternoon news conference in West Hartford with Blumenthal, who said he regretted the errors and took responsibility for them, spoke volumes.
"Of the thousands of veterans and armed services events that he's done over the course of his 20-year career, if you ask the veterans who were standing there today, they will tell you he has always been honest about his service," Downes said.
A spokesman for Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon, whose campaign took credit for planting the Times story, said Blumenthal cannot be trusted between his comments on his military service and his decision to accept money from political action committees when he pledged not to do so on television.
"So clearly there is a pattern, typical of career politicians, of saying one thing and doing another," said Ed Patru of the McMahon campaign.
Blumenthal's campaign says he never promised not to accept PAC money.
Former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, R-Conn., who is battling McMahon for the GOP nomination and earned two Bronze Stars in Vietnam, called Blumenthal's explanation unacceptable and demanded an apology.
A 2002 profile by The Associated Press, which obtained Blumenthal's military records through a Freedom of Information Act request, reported that he never went to Vietnam or performed active duty.
Blumenthal insisted in the article that he did six months of active duty with the Marines, studying administration and was classified as an "Admin Man."
George Jepsen, a former state Democratic Party chairman who is running for Blumenthal's seat as attorney general, said the explanation offered by his political ally is entirely plausible.
"When you're out speaking night after night and you deliver nearly thousands of speeches, occasionally in the moment you're going to misspeak," Jepsen said. "It's entirely human. I don't think at any time did he deliberately or knowingly create the impression that he served in Vietnam."
Jepsen had choice words for McMahon, who is funding her entire campaign from her vast World Wrestling Entertainment fortune.
"This is what happens when you have an opponent who has spent $16 million and has the power to drag a rake over every public moment of your now-40-year career," Jepsen said.
Blumenthal is not the first Connecticut politician to face allegations that he exaggerated his military record.
In 1984, Robert Sorensen, a Democratic state representative from Meriden, said he had fought in Vietnam when he hadn't.
A message seeking comment from Sorensen was left at his home Tuesday.
U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., a Blumenthal ally, said politicians have to be extremely careful with their words.
"Dick Blumenthal is a good friend who proudly served his country in the Marine Reserves and the people of Connecticut as attorney general," Himes said in a statement. "As elected officials, we owe it to the people we represent to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and I applaud Dick for taking full responsibility for any misstatements he made."

The world's richest man is down $9,000,000,000 after an abysmal day on Wall Street. Amazon's Jeff Bezos is just one of the leaders of tech companies who lost a lot of money Wednesday as the market took a major downturn. Amazon's stock fell more than 6%. Six other tech billionaires who rank among the top 20 richest people in the world also lost almost $12,000,000,000 in value combined. That includes Google's co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin as well Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.

Mounting and caring for your Chinese painting
A good mounting service ensures your paintings display age. Upon the complition of an artwork of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting, it is usually mounted on another, larger sheet. The mounting process, if done correctly, will ensure that the finished process is flattened out, and any wrinkling that results from the drying of the Ink will be eliminated. Such mounted works may then be framed set into a banner or scroll format.
There are two mounting types
1. Mount on silk brocades for future framing. This style is called jing-pian (镜片) that requires couple of processes including: holding up the core, attaching damask and coving the back. It is made for framing. There is no rod shaft added to the painting.
2. Hanging scroll. Artworks can be mounted as horizontal hanging scroll (横轴画)and vertical hanging scroll (竖轴画). Hanging scroll is the most traditional style that can easily hang on the walls.
Note: In the process of art work mounting, Calligraphy of China mounting specialist will choose the right color and material based on the content of the painting and calligraphy artworks. If you have special preferences, please specify in the order, or contact and confirm with our online customer service.

Road safety: new European rules on seat belt use
Brussels, Belgium – The latest European Directive[1] on the compulsory use of seat belts has to be incorporated into law in the Member States by 9 May 2006. Under the existing European legislation it was compulsory to use seat belts in vehicles below 3.5 tonnes fitted with restraints. This obligation has now been extended to all categories of vehicles. The Directive also requires the use of restraint systems specially adapted for children.
"I am convinced that this measure will save thousands of lives. In so doing it will help to meet the target of halving the number of deaths on the roads by 2010 compared with the figure of 50 000 in 2001" said Jacques Barrot, the European Commission Vice-President with special responsibility for transport.
The European Commission recently reviewed the efforts made since 2001 to improve road safety. While considerable progress has been made, particularly in some Member States – in 2005 there were 41 000 road fatalities in Europe compared with 50 000 in 2001 – greater efforts will have to be made at all levels if the target of halving the number of deaths on the roads by 2010 is to be met.
The new European Directive is a step in the right direction. Failure to use seat belts is the second biggest cause of road deaths, after speeding and ahead of drink-driving. A study[2] carried out for the European Commission has come to the conclusion that, in the best-case scenario, actions targeting the use of seat belts would save 5 500 lives a year in the EU.
Generally speaking, the European legislation in force so far made seat belt use compulsory only in vehicles under 3.5 tonnes. In vehicles with more than nine seats and in commercial vehicles, it was not compulsory to use seat belts when sitting in the back of vehicles. The existing Directive did require the use of child restraints on seats fitted with seat belts, but it did not specify what type of restraint would be appropriate. It allowed children to travel without being properly restrained by a device suited to their size if none was available.
Research has shown that the use of child restraints can make a big contribution to reducing the severity of road accident injuries, and that a child who travels without being suitably restrained runs a higher risk of injury and a higher risk of being injured more severely than a child who is properly restrained. The common rules on the protection of children therefore needed tightening up.
The new Directive, which the Member States have to incorporate into national law by 9 May 2006, makes it compulsory to use seat belts in all categories of vehicles and on all seats fitted with them; it also provides for a series of measures to improve the safety of children travelling in cars, lorries and coaches.
For example, children less than 1.35 metres tall, or travelling in cars or lorries fitted with safety devices, must be restrained by an approved device adapted to their weight. The Member States can allow children over 1.35 metres tall to use an adult seat belt. The use of rearward-facing child restraints is now no longer allowed on the front passenger seat unless its airbag has been deactivated.
Twelve Member States[3] have informed the European Commission of their national measures for implementing Directive 2003/20/EC.
With the Commission's agreement, the Member States can grant a number of exemptions, e.g. in order to allow certain types of occupation to be carried out effectively, in order to ensure that the police, security or emergency services can perform their duties properly, and in order to take account of the specific conditions of certain types of transport.
Six Member States[4] have asked the Commission to be allowed to grant exemptions.

The aim of this study was to develop tables for equi-carbohydrate and equi-glycaemic partial exchange of kiwifruit for glycaemic carbohydrate foods. Kiwifruit is one of the most nutrient-rich of readily available fruits, however the high content of sugars is often seen as reason to avoid fruit. The results showed that "partial equi-carbohydrate substitution of foods in most carbohydrate food categories substantially increased vitamin C with little change in glycaemic impact, while equi-glycaemic partial substitution by kiwifruit could be achieved with little change in carbohydrate intake" indicating that eating fresh fruit does not need have a negative glycaemic impact.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Most parents, teachers, and school administrators agree that most of the children from Frank L. Meagher Elementary School, which closed last June, adapted quite well to their relocation to John F. Kennedy Elementary School at the beginning of the current school year. The grown-ups were the ones who struggled with the transition, they said. IN RECENT interviews, parents and school administrators spoke of early divisions in the Kennedy Parent Teacher Association and minor turf wars within the newly merged teaching staff, although every teacher and teaching assistant who spoke to the Freeman said their relationships were good from the start. Regardless of early issues, both school communities have increasingly come together over the course of the school year, and say the year of planning time set aside for the next series of mergers when Zena, Anna Devine, and Sophie Finn elementary schools close in June will make a significant difference. DISTRICT OFFICIALS started down the road that led to Meagher's closure when they hired consultant Paul Seversky to study the capacity of the district's 11 elementary schools. Seversky told the Board of Education in August 2010 that the district's elementary schools were 22 percent under-enrolled. Citing infrastructure issues with the building, the school board decided in March 2011 to close Meagher in June 2012 amid heavy opposition from neighborhood residents. School district leaders got bogged down in a contentious dialogue about how to restructure the district amid a growing financial crisis. Superintendent Paul Padalino replaced former Superintendent Gerard Gretzinger in January 2012. A month later, Padalino announced he would not reconsider closing Meagher, and two months after that, he announced the plan to merge the Kennedy and Meagher school populations, leaving little time to prepare for the transition. "MEAGHER parents were so busy fighting for our school to consider what would happen if we lost our home," parent Jennifer Boughton recalled. Kathy Hernandez, president of the Kennedy Parent Teacher Association, said after the Meagher migration, former Meagher students and teachers actually outnumbered the existing Kennedy students and staff in the building. The same trend held at PTA meetings. Several former Meagher teachers, including Carol Dexter, Cori Allen, and Laurie Fay, said the Kennedy teachers made them feel welcome from the start, although Hernandez said some adults in the Kennedy community feared the influx of new faculty and families would change a culture that has served the JFK school well. "In the beginning, everyone was so worried about Meagher because their school was closing that it was like they were forgetting it will affect JFK too," Hernandez said. Padalino said the short timeline to plan the merger complicated transition efforts. He said he learned "when you're merging two cultures, you have to address two cultures, not just (that of the school) that is closing." The idea behind merging instead of splintering staff is to make students as comfortable as possible in their new schools. "It's a different culture," Padalino said. "It's not easy, and in the same way as moving all of our teachers at the same time to one building is a great idea for the group, it also creates those two cultures coming together, whereas if I had splintered them all across the district, they would be one or two people going into different cultures, not two cultures colliding." Padalino said it took some time for the teachers to get used to one another, but they have come along. The additional planning time for the Finn, Devine, and Zena communities to get to know their counterparts at Harry L. Edson, Robert Graves, and Edward R. Crosby schools will create a dynamic in which "everyone knows each other by September," he said. Among the Meagher and Kennedy PTAs, representatives recall having little time to meet before the merger and having some early miscommunications. Early on, Boughton said former Meagher parents felt like they were being ignored. Hernandez said Kennedy parents felt like they were being ganged up on at PTA meetings. Disagreements about how to coordinate fundraisers and observe holidays ensued, and the effort to change the school's mascot became controversial. The students ended up overwhelmingly voting to change the mascot from a baby tiger to a hawk, but Boughton said two teachers refused to let their classes participate in the schoolwide vote. "There's bound to be some friction when you have two groups of people learning to live together," said Dexter, a first grade teacher who joined Kennedy's staff after spending her first 32 years of her education career at Meagher. Still, both sides were able to find common ground from the start by reproducing Meagher's old opening day school pep rally, a gesture from the Kennedy school community that teachers, students, and parents from Meagher found meaningful. Hernandez said she appreciated Boughton's leadership in pushing for upgrades to the dilapidated Hasbrouck Park playground equipment Kennedy students use, and many parents from both school communities recently united in taking complaints about lunch monitors bullying their children to Padalino and the Board of Education. "When it comes to the children and their safety and their happiness, we have all come together," Boughton said. Hernandez agreed. The educators in the school community have rallied around the children's needs as well. Principal Clark Waters said overcoming some egos was a challenge early in the merger process, but in the end, it has been all about what is best for the students. "It is hard to discern who was here before compared to now," said fifth grade teacher Peggy Toscher, who was with Kennedy before the merger and spoke highly of her new coworkers. Several former Meagher educators shared Fay's sentiment when she said she misses Meagher's "smallness and hominess," but found the Kennedy community to be welcoming. Fay noted that as recently as Tuesday, Waters had asked her if she still feels welcome at Kennedy. Fay, a fourth-grade teacher, and Allen, who teaches third grade, spoke highly of Kennedy's infrastructure. The pair described the building as being in better shape and having better technology than Meagher. The teachers said the classrooms are notably larger, providing more flexibility for activities like group work. Fay also cited moving from two underutilized buildings to a relatively full school as a benefit because she has enjoyed the sense of community that she has developed with other teachers from the same grade level. "It's nice to have someone to work with and bounce ideas off of," Fay said. Allen and Fay also said Kennedy has more after-school activities available for a wider range of students. "Change is good sometimes," Fay said. One of the lessons the group of former Meagher educators said they took away from the merger is the resilience of children. Fay noted that she went to Brigham Elementary School when it closed in 1983 and merged with Chambers Elementary School. Just like now, she said, "it was harder for the parents than the kids."

Florida teen accused of stealing parents' money to have them whacked
Plotting to have your parents killed is just cold.
Trying to hire a hitman to bump them off using their own money is, well, ruthless.
Florida teen Alyssa Hatcher allegedly did just that in the hopes of having her parents whacked, withdrawing cash from her parents' bank account using a stolen debit card, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said.
Hatcher is accused of withdrawing $500, then another $900, to buy a bit of coke and hire a hitman to do the deed. She allegedly gave $400 to a friend in the hopes of hiring a professional killer then $900 to another man, who didn't follow through on the hit.
The 17-year-old's parents got wind of the alleged murder-for-hire plot and pressed charges. Hatcher was arrested Tuesday on two counts of solicitation of murder, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
According to Hatcher's arrest warrant, her boyfriend met her at a "known drug house" where she filled him in on her alleged plot.
It's not clear why the girl, who posted a photo to her Instagram account Monday with a one-word caption — "Ruthless" — and a happy-face emoji, wanted her parents killed.

When it comes to senior dating, both seniors and those who care for them often feel awkward discussing the subject. Surveys have shown that Americans are more likely to discuss financial issues with an elderly relative than risk bringing up their romantic life. That's a shame, since dating brings many seniors a great deal of happiness. And as senior care providers, both family caregivers and their loved one can benefit from even a brief discussion around a parent's love life.
For many seniors and their loved ones, there doesn't seem to be a reason to discuss senior dating. Families approach the subject with an attitude of, "Why bring it up?" missing obvious reasons to start the conversation.
As a senior care provider for a parent or family member, here are just a few of the reasons to have a conversation about dating and romance:
The hardest part of discussing your loved one's romantic life is getting the conversation started. After all, if this is a touchy subject for you, it's probably just as touchy a subject for your loved one. If you, your loved one, or both of you feel uncomfortable broaching the topic, try to think of ways to lessen the discomfort.
Often, the best way to start the conversation is to ease into it. Start small, ask questions, and be sensitive to your loved one's discomfort. Remember that the easiest way to make your loved one uncomfortable is to show discomfort yourself. Try to control and measure your reactions to their answers, and be prepared to hear some things you might not expect.
Remember most of all that a few minutes of discomfort can make caring for your loved one that much easier.

Donaldson, Athletics down Yanks
Bronx, NY – Josh Donaldson's tie-breaking solo home run in the top of the eighth inning provided the winning margin in the Oakland Athletics' 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Oakland belted three homers in all on the day, with Yoenis Cespedes clubbing a two-run shot and Luke Montz finishing 2-for-4 with a solo blast that helped the A's to a fifth triumph in seven contests.
Sean Doolittle (2-0) picked up the win after firing a perfect bottom of the seventh in relief, with Grant Balfour holding the Yankees scoreless in the ninth to register his fifth save of the year.
"We got contributions across the board today in different ways," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin. "Sometimes it takes a whole group to win a ballgame, and today that was the case."
Boone Logan (2-2) was dealt the loss for serving up Donaldson's go-ahead homer, with Andy Pettitte reached for four runs -- three earned -- while walking four over five innings in a second straight shaky start for New York.
Pettitte was tagged for seven runs on 10 hits through 4 1/3 frames in a 9-1 Yankees' setback to Houston on Monday.
"Everything has been great in my [bullpen sessions], but something is going on in the games," Pettitte said afterward. "I can feel my release point floating around. You just know from the feel of your fingers, the ball is just not coming off right. It has been a long, long time since I haven't had a feel for my pitches."
Robinson Cano and Ichiro Suzuki each had two hits and an RBI for New York, which concluded a 10-game homestand at 7-3, while Lyle Overbay delivered a two-run single in defeat.
With one out in the top of the eighth, Donaldson broke a 4-4 deadlock by crushing a 2-1 fastball from Logan that landed just inside the foul pole in the second deck in left field.
Ryan Cook protected the one-run edge despite encountering a jam in the bottom of the eighth, striking out Jayson Nix with two on and one out and getting Overbay to fly out to the warning track in right center to end the threat.
New York also put two men aboard against Balfour in the ninth, with Brett Gardner singling with two out and taking second on a wild pitch in front of an intentional walk to Cano. The Oakland closer fanned Vernon Wells swinging, however, for the final out.
"[Wells] is a good hitter. He's had plenty of success in his career," said Balfour. "Just trying to make it difficult on him, make good pitches. At first there, I was trying to get him to hit a ground ball. When I got later in the count, I'm looking to punch him out."
The Yankees had tied the game via a three-run bottom of the sixth, with Cano starting the rally with a single before being erased on Wells' fielder's choice grounder. Travis Hafner then worked a walk to force A's starter Dan Straily's departure, and Suzuki greeted reliever Jerry Blevins with a double into the right corner that brought home Wells.
Blevins rebounded with a key strikeout of Nix, but Overbay ended an eight- pitch at-bat with a base hit to short center that plated both runners and knotted the score at 4-4.
Straily was charged with three runs allowed on four hits and three walks over his 5 1/3-inning stint.
Pettitte managed to avert damage in each of the initial two innings, striking out Nate Freiman with the bases loaded to end the top of the first and stranding Montz following a leadoff double in the second. He couldn't escape out of trouble in the third, however, after walking Derek Norris to start the frame and hitting Jed Lowrie in the foot with a pitch.
Cespedes then hit a potential double-play grounder to short, but Cano's relay to first was off the mark to enable Norris to cross with the game's first run.
The Yankees evened things up in their half of the inning, when Gardner reached on a two-out bloop double and crossed the plate on Cano's sharp single to center.
Montz put the A's back in front after taking Pettitte's full-count offering over the wall in left to open the fourth, and Cespedes made it a 4-1 Oakland lead an inning later by following a walk to Lowrie with a blast into the visiting bullpen.
Game Notes
Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez was removed from the game after four innings due to tightness in his left rib cage ... Montz's homer was his second in the majors, with the other coming at Philadelphia on Sept. 28, 2008 while then with Washington ... Oakland's Josh Reddick doubled in the ninth inning to break an 0-for-33 lifetime skid at the current Yankee Stadium, the longest hitless streak by any player in the venue's history ... Preston Claiborne relieved Pettitte and tossed two perfect innings in his big league debut ... The Yankees fell to 11-3 in games decided by two runs or less, with two of the losses coming in this series.
