We now support modular networking scripts, which means we can easily add support for new interface types and configuration modules while keeping compatibility with existing ones.
Modules load by default if the package they need is installed. If you specify a module here that doesn't have its package installed then you get an error stating which package you need to install. Ideally, you only use the modules setting when you have two or more packages installed that supply the same service and you need to prefer one over the other.
# Prefer iproute2 over ifconfigmodules=( "iproute2" ) # You can also specify other modules for an interface # In this case we prefer udhcpc over dhcpcdmodules_eth0=( "udhcpc" ) # You can also specify which modules not to use - for example you may be # using a supplicant or linux-wlan-ng to control wireless configuration but # you still want to configure network settings per ESSID associated with.modules=( "!iwconfig" )
We provide two interface handlers presently: ifconfig and iproute2. You need one of these to do any kind of network configuration.
ifconfig is the current Gentoo default and it's included in the system profile. iproute2 is a more powerful and flexible package, but it's not included by default.
# emerge sys-apps/iproute2
# To prefer iproute2 over ifconfig if both are installedmodules=( "iproute2" )
As both ifconfig and iproute2 do very similar things we allow their basic configuration to work with each other. For example both the below code snippets work regardless of which module you are using.
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24" ) config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
# We can also specify broadcastconfig_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24 brd 192.168.0.255" ) config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" )
DHCP is a means of obtaining network information (IP address, DNS servers, Gateway, etc) from a DHCP server. This means that if there is a DHCP server running on the network, you just have to tell each client to use DHCP and it sets up the network all by itself. Of course, you will have to configure for other things like wireless, ppp or other things if required before you can use DHCP.
DHCP can be provided by dhclient, dhcpcd, pump or udhcpc. Each DHCP module has its pros and cons - here's a quick run down.
|DHCP Module
If you have more than one DHCP client installed, you need to specify which one to use - otherwise we default to dhcpcd if available.
To send specific options to the dhcp module, use module_eth0="..."
We try and make DHCP relatively agnostic - as such we support the following commands using the dhcp_eth0 variable. The default is not to set any of them
# Only needed if you have more than one DHCP module installedmodules=( "dhcpcd" ) config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" # Timeout after 10 secondsdhcp_eth0="release nodns nontp nonis" # Only get an address
First we need to install the ADSL software.
# emerge net-dialup/rp-pppoe
Now we need to instruct configure eth0 to be an ADSL interface and enter our username.
config_eth0=( "adsl" ) adsl_user_eth0="username"
Finally you need to define your username and password in
# The * is important"username" * "password"
APIPA tries to find a free address in the range 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 by arping a random address in that range on the interface. If no reply is found then we assign that address to the interface.
This is only useful for LANs where there is no DHCP server and you don't connect directly to the internet and all other computers use APIPA.
For APIPA support, emerge net-misc/iputils or net-analyzer/arping
# Try DHCP first - if that fails then fallback to APIPAconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" ) fallback_eth0=( "apipa" ) # Just use APIPAconfig_eth0=( "apipa" )
For link bonding/trunking emerge net-misc/ifenslave
Bonding is used to increase network bandwidth. If you have two network cards going to the same network, you can bond them together so your applications see just one interface but they really use both network cards.
To bond interfaces togetherslaves_bond0="eth0 eth1 eth2" # You may not want to assign an IP to the bonded interfaceconfig_bond0=( "null" ) # Depend on eth0, eth1 and eth2 as they may require extra configurationdepend_bond0() { need net.eth0 net.eth1 net.eth2 }
For bridging support emerge net-misc/bridge-utils
Bridging is used to join networks together. For example, you may have a server that connects to the internet via an ADSL modem and a wireless access card to enable other computers to connect to the internet via the ADSL modem. You could create a bridge to join the two interfaces together.
# Configure the bridge - "man btctl" for more detailsbrctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off" ) # To add ports to bridge br0bridge_br0="eth0 eth1" # You need to configure the ports to null values so dhcp does not get startedconfig_eth0=( "null" ) config_eth1=( "null" ) # Finally give the bridge an address - you could use DHCP as wellconfig_br0=( "192.168.0.1/24" ) # Depend on eth0 and eth1 as they may require extra configurationdepend_br0() { need net.eth0 net.eth1 }
You don't need to emerge anything for changing the MAC address of your interface if you change to a specific address. However, if you need to change to a random address or a random address of a given type then you need to emerge net-analyzer/macchanger.
# To set the MAC address of the interfacemac_eth0="00:11:22:33:44:55" # To randomize the last 3 bytes onlymac_eth0="random-ending" # To randomize between the same physical type of connection (eg fibre, # copper, wireless) , all vendorsmac_eth0="random-samekind" # To randomize between any physical type of connection (eg fibre, copper, # wireless) , all vendorsmac_eth0="random-anykind" # Full randomization - WARNING: some MAC addresses generated by this may # NOT act as expectedmac_eth0="random-full"
You don't need to emerge anything for tunnelling as the interface handler can do it for you.
# For GRE tunnelsiptunnel_vpn0="mode gre remote 126.96.36.199 key 0xffffffff ttl 255" # For IPIP tunnelsiptunnel_vpn0="mode ipip remote 188.8.131.52 ttl 255" # To configure the interfaceconfig_vpn0=( "192.168.0.2 peer 192.168.1.1" )
For VLAN support, emerge net-misc/vconfig
Virtual LAN is a group of network devices that behave as if they were connected to a single network segment - even though they may not be. VLAN members can only see members of the same VLAN even though they may share the same physical network.
# Specify the VLAN numbers for the interface like so # Please ensure your VLAN IDs are NOT zero-paddedvlans_eth0="1 2" # You can also configure the VLAN # see for vconfig man page for more detailsvconfig_eth0=( "set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD" ) vconfig_vlan1=( "set_flag 1" "set_egress_map 2 6" ) # Configure the interface as usualconfig_vlan1=( "172.16.3.1 netmask 255.255.254.0" ) config_vlan2=( "172.16.2.1 netmask 255.255.254.0" )

The Buccaneers had their opportunities late in the game but victory was elusive once more, as a poor offensive effort in the second half doomed ETSU and allowed the Wofford Terriers to drop the Bucs 68-64 Saturday evening at the Benjamin Johnson Arena. With the loss, the Bucs moved to 6-14 overall, 2-8 in SoCon play, while Wofford improved to 10-10, 3-6.
"We did a lot of good things, but in the second half we were not as efficient as we have to be," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has lost six games by a total of 18 points this season. "Defensively, we played well enough to win. We had 10 steals and outrebounded them, and usually that is all you need to win. We've had some tough losses on the road this year and this was the same story."
ETSU outrebounded the Terriers 48-34 for the game and held Wofford to just 42 percent shooting from the floor. However, the Bucs were just 3-of-20 from 3-point range for the game and committed 21 turnovers, opening the door for the Wofford win.
In the first half, the Bucs led 32-26 with just over four minutes left before the intermission. However, ETSU suffered an offensive drought the rest of the way, allowing the Terriers to go on an 11-4 run to take a one-point lead at 37-36 at the break.
Offensively, the Bucs shot just 31 percent from the floor in the second half and Wofford took advantage. While ETSU tied the game at 37, the Terriers regained the lead and never relinquished it the rest of the way, even though the Bucs cut the advantage to three twice late in the game.
For the contest, junior guard Tim Smith (
Wofford was led by Tyler Berg with 18 points, while Adrien Borders and Eric Marshall had 14 and 10, respectively.

Funny, that EKOS actually shows a slight narrowing, a statistical tie.
Conservatives – 32.6 (-0.2)
Liberals – 30.9 (+0.7)
Green – 11.3 (+0.3)
Undecided – 15.1 (-0.7)
Darrel Bricker to the Senate!!
Are you comparing different designs from different Research Polling Companies to produce a similar result taken on different dates?
Are these companies are getting the desired answer they are seeking.
Who is the sponsor for these designed Polls?
Who benefits from this Pollster design?
You don't make sense.
Sense makes perfect sense.
Any poll that is good for the conservatives is a neutral and objective poll. Any poll that is bad for the conservatives is horribly biased.
What is so hard about that?
I will try to make it easier, if I was unclear. Try to compare the Ispos to the last Ipsos (same design).
Before being so quick to criticize and pass judgement please examine below.
Let's Compare 2 EKOS Polls
same design, rolling dates?
Aug 12-18,2009
Aug 19-25,2009
Take a look at the cities
12-18 19-25
Vancouver 28.6% 41.6% 33.1% 30.4%
Calgary 65.8% 18.2% 69.5% 15.0% Toronto 34.2% 39.9% 32.8% 39.7%
Ottawa 44.0% 39.1% 42.3% 43.8%
Montreal 13.1% 32.0% 14.4% 28.0%
So taking a look at the significant drop in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver captured by EKOS "designed" Poll-give you pause?
Does Ispos 'outlier' have any more validity in your eyes or is it a BS Poll still?
How much did the CPC gain in POP and the Liberals lose in those traditional Liberal strongholds?
Before you panic, it will only have made a difference in close races etc.
Gayle I have no interest in engaging in partisan debate with you. You are free to believe and condemn any negative news that does not conform to your twisted reality.
I am also free to engage and debate with Steve V. on polling bias and design.
I have tried to explain comparing Polls from different companies with different dates and designs is difficult and unreliable.
The cleanest way is to only compare the same 'design' by each company and look for trends
Compare EKOS to EKOS, NIK to NIK etc.
If they are the same design, executed in the same manner that is your TREND from that DESIGN.
Any polling company can design a Poll for a preferred option.
Who was the most accurate in the last election?
Does that mean they will be again?
Sense - if you were not interested in a partisan debate, perhaps you should not have suggested that the sponsor of the polls have anything to do with the results.
And I do suggest you explain yourself better. I see no significant drop in Toronto from the last poll to this one.
Steve V.
Here is my breakdown from 2 EKOS Polls in Metropolitan Areas comparing the Aug 12-18 to Aug 19-25,2009.
City CPC LIBS
Van 4.5% -13.3%
Cal 3.7% -3.2%
To -1.4% -0.2%
Ott -1.7% 4.7%
Mon 1.3% -4.0%
I was trying to explain how the criticism for Ispos Reid may be unfair. Regardless of the picture.
Each polling company can DESIGN a Poll to give the preferred outcome.
I have shown using the last two EKOS Polls a large drop took place with the same DESIGN. (That is more important)
I have not attacked the validity of any polling company and do not use them for SEAT projection for a campaign and election that has not official begun.
I am also not interested in talking to you based on reading your "perception of reality" posting pattern.
Barney Frank was correct about people like you. Each party has furniture.
I applaud the Blog owner who is spending time sharing his ideas. I may not agree with all his views but I can appreciate them.
Steve V,
My apologies regarding my last post and not being more specific in my comments.
The Barney Frank comment is meant for Gayle whom I believe reflects the fringe element.
Each party has their furniture.
I admire your effort on behalf of your party.
Yes, let's compare poll to poll, without this mind boggling, very confusing, sort of batshit crazy presentation you've given. Ekos is pretty consistent poll to poll. Ekos is also consistent with every other pollster, using their own methods, with one exception- IPSOS. Ipsos has a very poor record, and has shown time and again to overstate Con votes, understate the Libs and NDP. That is based on election results, not some partisan spin.
I'm quite fair with the polls. As a matter of fact, I've lauded the online Angus Reid poll, whenever everyone attacked it. I did this because their track record was quite impressive. I did this, even though their numbers weren't exactly Liberal friendly.
I am not being unfair to Ipsos. What is unfair is silly columnists and rabid partisans seizing on a clear OUTLIER (which has since been proven with two polls after, not to mention the one the day before) as evidence of a trend, which doesn't exist. An objective attempt waits to see if a trend develops, wants more data. An objective attempt puts a strong critical eye on a poll that is so out of whack with everything else we've seen.
BTW, I'm sure Gayle will be thrilled with the "fringe" tag.
And, you'll note I deleted the comment calling you a "retard".
Oh, and btw, apart from Vancouver (where the margin of error is large), all the other examples show little statistical change poll to poll. You've actually completely and utterly contradicted your point with the data you've presented. Do you even know that? The Toronto Liberal vote changed a whopping .2% in one week, Cons 1.4%. That's actually very credible replication poll to poll, way, way below the margin of error. Are you for real? Don't answer that :)
You should at least admit that your first comment today was so vague that any interpretation could be made from reading it.
Having seen Gayle comment on any number of issues, your remarks are unwarranted. Her instinct that your first comment was partisan in nature was as good an interpretation as any. Perhaps the response was just a lack of patience at yet another person obfuscating to defend Ipsos Reid's pattern of bringing just the right poll to the forefront at just the appropriate time to fit snugly with whatever the latest Conservative talking points happen to be.
I've observed the pattern for a couple of years now. It's suspiciously uncanny how their findings and analysis fit the conservative's talking points without fail.
If your intent wasn't to dismiss that criticism by introducing some other target, you could easily have clarified your first nebulous remarks instead of casting daggers at someone who saw those remarks in an unfavorable light.
If a polling company can shape the poll to create the results they want at any given time, then why would that prevent them from "tweaking" the process and results over time.
You seem to assume they scrupulously follow the same flawed pattern, as if that is some pure inviolable truth, even as they nefariously shape the rest of their analysis to achieve skewed results.
If you're implying the intent of the polling company is to twist the outcome, then I wouldn't suggest you put so much faith in the consistency of polls from the same organization.
Steve and Joseph, thanks.
I still wonder why Mr./Ms Sense was asking about who sponsored the polls if s/he is not implying that polls are biased.
In any event, as Steve points out, there is very little difference in the two polling results from week to week, aside from Vancouver. I notice that rather than answer my question about that Mr/Ms Sense opted to launch a personal attack.
PS - I am not a member of the LPC, nor do I vote for them. Perhaps people should not be so quick to jump to conclusions.
Steve V.
I don't rely on public polling data. I suggested it would be better if you only compared each Designed Poll with itself over a period of Time for a pattern.
I asked if the drop noted in EKOS in Cities may have been picked up by ISPOS poll.
A research company is capable of designing Polls, do we agree?
The execution affects also affects the Poll. (Time of day, length etc)
Repeat the same with each company.
I have asked questions, I am not implying I know the answers.
I am merely pointing out the CBC pay for their Polls, as does CTV, and Global.
I am not going to pretend Research or Polling can not be manipulated to create "designer Polls". I am also NOT suggesting any of it has been.
I simply stated it is possible. If a TV network, Drug Company, Oil Industry etc.. (customer) orders a "designer poll" their preferred opinion can be presented in a favourable light.
I may have not been able to present the significant drop in Montreal or Vancouver with this format. I am not really interested or consumed over a few Public Polls and I have spent too much time trying to explain the 'outlier' Poll.
And the Vancouver total has a massive 12.1 margin of error. Only a fool points to that as indicative of anything.
Just for the record, Montreal doesn't support your "significant drop", it's marginal at best.
The post may not have been clear. You have your opinion regarding Gayle. I don't share it.
I am NOT defending the 'outlier' by presenting or using other Polls showing a drop in Lib support in Metropolitan Centres. I did a quick scan of his "Bizarre Polling" post and did a hasty post apparently.
I suggested Steve use the same Designer Poll to look for trends more accurately.
I was not aware of the drops in the Metro until his posting. I did a quick scan and noticed in EKOS a big drop in Van/Montreal/Cal in %.
I also remember skimming CROP articles a 5% drop in Quebec for the Liberals, CPC and NDP are up?
I made a generalization that a pattern may have found that the 'outlier' Poll may have found some evidence of a drop in support.
I have NO media or preferred access to any of the Polls regarding their Design and execution.
I think the last Ispos was a few months old and Crop's as well making comparison just a very BIG stretch.
Joesph if you are sure of those "Biases" than you should discount those Polls accordingly.
"I did a quick scan and noticed in EKOS a big drop in Van/Montreal/Cal in %."
For the last time, until you develop the simpliest understanding of margin of error, I would just stop talking. There was no big drop in Cal or Mon, you will see that fluctuation almost everytime. Only a fool develops a thesis using this "evidence".
There's another 30 seconds I'll never get back...
Heh. If that Ipsos poll were accurate, it sure would have been a very sudden change.
Steve V.
Your post reflects your hostility towards the media reporting on an outlier Ispos Poll.
Crop,Ispos,Ekos Poll pattern show a drop in support in Quebec?
Ispos/Ekos show a drop in BC?
The majority of the Polls show the Liberals up from their low% in October 2008.
The majority of the Polls show the CPC below the October 2008 numbers.
I am aware the Regional numbers have a very large MOE.
You seem hung up on the 11% outlier Poll and the modest movements of Polls in general.
I understand you are happy the Liberals are polling better than October 2008.
Campaigns matter and regardless of the designer Poll flogged by the media.
Each party will have to deliver the voters.
I wish you and your party well.
Off topic, but of interest from the Globe and Mail;
Having built up employment insurance reform as the single issue that avoided a summer election, Liberals now say it's not an issue worthy of triggering a vote in the fall.
Liberal Senator David Smith, a co-chairman of the national Liberal campaign, said even if his party's talks with the government fail to produce an agreement, that alone will not be enough to warrant an election.
That still leaves open the possibility of a no-confidence vote on other issues, such as the state of the economy, but the senior Liberal is clearly throwing cold water on election speculation as MPs prepare for a caucus retreat in Sudbury.
"To the extent that at some point [the government will fall], I do not believe it will be on unemployment insurance," Mr. Smith said. "It's an important issue and it's an issue we want to address ... but I don't see that as the defining issue that would trigger an election."
Mr. Smith said his comments do not rule out a fall election however he went on to say there have already been plenty of elections recently.

Do not pull the stinger out with your fingers or tweezers because this will squeeze out more venom. Instead, scrape the stinger out with your fingernail, the edge of a credit card, a dull knife blade, or other straight edged object.

How HIV Drugs Get Approved
September 26, 2014
Table of Contents
Why Does It Take So Long to Approve New Drugs?
Developing a new drug can take 10 years or more. First, drug companies must find substances that are active against HIV. Most HIV drugs are identified by testing existing drugs for anti-HIV activity (screening). A newer method is rational drug design. In this process, scientists "build" drug molecules to fight HIV in specific ways.
When a promising drug is identified, it goes through pre-clinical testing. This involves test-tube and animal studies. These show whether the drug works against HIV and how it works. They also show how it can be manufactured, and make sure it is not too toxic (poisonous).
If pre-clinical results are good enough, the drug company files an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. Then it starts testing the drug in humans (clinical trials). Only about one candidate drug in 1,000 makes it into clinical trials. When enough clinical trials are completed, the manufacturer submits an NDA, or New Drug Application. If the FDA approves the NDA, the drug can be sold to treat specific medical conditions.
What Are the "Phases" of Clinical Trials?
There are four phases of human clinical trials. These apply to all drugs, not just drugs for HIV/AIDS. If the results from any phase of testing are not good enough, the company will stop developing the drug.
Phase I trials test the safety of new drugs for humans. These trials record the side effects that occur at different dosages of the drug. Everyone in a Phase I trial receives the new drug, but different participants may get different dosages. The trials usually study less than 100 people, and take less than a year. In Phase I trials, new drugs are given to humans for the first time. People who participate in Phase I trials face the highest risks compared to possible benefits.
Phase II trials can enroll several hundred people and take one to two years. They study what dose of drug may work best against HIV. They also collect more information about side effects. Only about one drug candidate in three makes it through Phase II trials.
These trials are usually randomized. This means that trial participants are divided into two groups that are similar in terms of age, sex, and health. One group receives the study drug. The other group is the reference or control group. People in the control group get standard treatment (called "standard of care"). If there is no standard treatment, they may get a dummy medication (called a placebo).
In some trials, neither the participants nor their health care providers know who is getting the study drug or the placebo. This is called a blinded study. Studies are blinded so that the health care providers will be totally objective when they evaluate the health of patients in the study.
Phase III trials collect more data on a drug's effectiveness and side effects, using the dose selected in the phase II study. These trials can study up to a few thousand people and often last for two years or more.
Phase III trials are normally randomized and often blinded. Participants may or may not receive the study drug for free. With good results in Phase III trials, a manufacturer can apply for FDA approval to sell the new drug.
Phase IV trials are called "post-marketing studies." Phase IV trials can monitor a new drug's long-term effectiveness and side effects, in new combinations, or how cost-effective it is. They can also compare the new drug to other drugs approved for the same condition.
How Do We Know if a Drug Works?
The FDA used to require trials that measured clinical endpoints before approving a new HIV drug. These trials analyze how many people get sicker, develop opportunistic infections, or die.
However, these trials take a long time and are very expensive. A faster, cheaper way to test new drugs is by using indirect measures of patient health. These surrogate markers are laboratory values such as viral load or CD4 cell counts. The FDA approves the use of surrogate markers for full approval of new HIV drugs.
Clinical trials should include people like those who will use the drug. But manufacturers sometimes prefer to test their products in people who are as healthy as possible. For example, sometimes they exclude people infected with hepatitis B or C because of their liver problems, although many people with HIV also are infected with hepatitis.
Using Unapproved Drugs
There are three legal ways to use drugs that the FDA has not approved to treat a specific health problem:

The Hotel
The view
Simply the most beautiful view on lake Como...
Some places have been truly blessed by nature. Rare corners of the earth where the landscape, the atmosphere, climate and the signs of man combine in such a magical harmony as to effortlessly resist the passing of time and fashions. Lake Como is such a place.
At the end of the 18th century Wordsworth wrote of the extraordinary power of certain sights to stay with you throughout your life. He speaks of the experience of a total fusion with nature, rare visions and moments that reveal themselves to be crucial elements in one's existence giving rise to a thousand flashbacks much later on. Wordsworth called them spots of time – instances of heart stopping beauty. When beauty enters the soul—a voyage, a view, a memory— and carries you away.
If one were to choose just one panorama to sum up sublime romanticism and wonder of Lake Como, one image to capture and take home with you, it would have to be that of Bellagio, the Grigne and Punta Balbianello. And this is the view from the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a view one can only get from here. It is nature's special gift to the hotel in this privileged corner of the planet. It is Grand Hotel Tremezzo's special gift to its guests, and to you.

Syrian General assassinated in Damascus
According to Syrian TV, General Abdullah Al-Khaledi, a senior officer at the Syrian Air Force, was killed Tuesday in Damascus. The television report said he was shot in one of the capital's neighborhoods. It should be recalled that the rebels had threatened the assassination of Syrian officers, especially those from the Air Force, if they continue to commit "crimes" ordered by the regime.
Meanwhile, a prominent Saudi preacher Sheikh Salman Al-Audah, called on young Muslims not to travel to Syria in order to not renew the Afghan Jihadi experience. "The arrival of young people in Syria from Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt to fight the regime will only complicate the crisis and repeat the Afghanistan crisis," said the preacher on his website.
"Leave Syria to the Syrians, they do not lack courage and are quite numerous (...) they do not need more fighters, but more funds and weapons," he said, adding that a small number of foreign fighters would not change the course of the conflict.
He stressed that the presence of Arab fighters in Syria could bring "the Arab and European countries to stop supporting the Syrian people in their battle against Bashar al-Assad and his regime who claims to battle terrorists being infiltrated into Syria" .
Sheikh Salman Al-Audah is the deputy secretary general of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, based in Qatar, which is chaired by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradaoui, the mentor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
On October 16, members of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria noted that the presence of foreign fighters was a dangerous element in the "radicalization" of the Syrian conflict.
Two days later, the Syrian government accused Riyadh and Ankara of having signed a "pact" with Al-Qaeda to organize the transfer of the extremist fighters to Syria.

Author Notes: This is a tasty treat to spice up your fiesta or light up a lucky recipients tired holiday palate. I often make this easy dessert when I have friends coming for dinner who love wine. I know that we will sit at the table well after the meal is over and continue talking and drinking for hours. I serve this on one plate and put it in the middle of the table. It is a casual dessert, so easy to make and great with a good cabernet. I first wrapped this up a few years ago while thinking of an edible present that would not be tossed aside amongst the mountains of Christmas sugar. With so many sweets out there this subtle spicy and salty chocolate makes a great gift. Use good chocolate when making this; it will make all of the difference. And of course feel free to substitute your favorite nuts and fruits. —wanderash
Food52 Review: Neither of us had ever made chocolate bark before we tried this recipe, and wanderash's version happens to be a great introduction. Waves of smooth dark chocolate are spiced with smoky ancho, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper, and studded with dried cherries, cashews and pistachios. The finished product looks lovely, packs easily and takes a total of about 20 minutes to put together. We think it makes a great holiday gift. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: about 3 gifts
Prep time: 1 hrs
Cook time: 25 min
large ancho chili
whole star anise
teaspoon black peppercorns
2-inch cinnamon stick
cup pistachio
cup cashews, very lightly crushed
ounces dark bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
cup dried cherries
pinch Kosher salt, or sea salt
- To make the spice mix, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place first 5 ingredients on a baking sheet and place in oven. Toast until fragrant or about 10 min.
- Remove stems and majority of seeds from the anchos. Place all spices in a spice grinder or coffee grinder and pulverize. You may need to grind spices in batches.
- Toast the nuts by placing them on the baking sheet and put in the oven. Check after 10 minutes. When done, remove from oven and let cool.
- Place ¾ of the chocolate in a bowl and slowly melt the chocolate, either in the microwave checking and stirring it every 25 seconds or over a double boiler on the stovetop.
- When all of the chocolate is melted, take it off of the heat and add in the remaining chocolate, stir until it is completely melted.
- Add one to two teaspoons of the spice mix. Add one at a time and taste; add more if you want it to be spicier. I like a subtle spice flavor, it keeps those eating it wondering what the secret spice could be.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Spread out the nuts and cherries, reserving a few of the nuts to decorate the top.
- Sprinkle salt over the nuts and cherries.
- Pour the chocolate onto the pan, covering the nuts and cherries in an even layer. Add remaining nuts to the top of chocolate and press them into the chocolate.
- Put in fridge and allow to cool for 45 min. Break into pieces and keep in a sealed container in the fridge.

I'm technologically-challenged and for some reason cannot cut and paste this review. Must have some kind of blockage in the tube. Here's the link:
Review in Oregon Magazine
Review in Willamette Week
Quoted from the Willamette Week. Review by Matthew Korfhage:
There is perhaps nothing more viscerally American than blue-collar sport: small-town pride writ large, desire, hope, brief denials of reality and death. This is of course the defining theme of TV'sFriday Night Lights (mercifully now resurrected for a fourth season), in which a Texas town's dreams of football glory become a window into a broader vision of a crabbed and often stymied, always deeply felt life.
A much different America—though no less American—is chronicled in Steve Wilson's The Boys From Little Mexico: A Season Chasing the American Dream (Beacon, 225 pages, $24.95). Here it is fútbol, not football, at the center, and the team in question is the nearly all-Latino players of the Woodburn High School Bulldogs—"Los Perros," unofficially—who have qualified for the Oregon state soccer playoffs every year since 1986 (a state record, in any sport) without ever winning the title.
Wilson followed Los Perros through their 2005 season as they chased the prize, chronicling not only the games but the people in them, from Mike Flannigan, the Woodburn legacy coach, to Octavio, a talented, broodingly intense, unfortunately undocumented player (and 3.5-GPA student) whose college hopes are stymied by the fact his father didn't follow through on Reagan's immigration amnesty offer. Young Octavio's anticlimactic coyote run across the border—his first suspicious taste of hamburger and awed gaping at Walmart's obscene bounty—is one of the highlights of the book, but also underlines the fact that for many illegal immigrants, their status was chosen when they were too young to truly choose.
What also emerges in Wilson's book is the insane importance of these soccer games for the students, and how unequipped they are for losing—or, how resigned they can be to the world being stacked against them. After a losing game they sob like characters in a bad soap. Still most of the players have bitten into that American apple-pie notion of meritocratic opportunity, even if they may feel partly excluded from it. Team member Cheo knows that English is the key to success, but the language comes hard to him; he sits blankly through his classes and begs the help of fellow Latino kids. Carlos lost out on his hoped-for soccer scholarships (and then partied too much, implausibly, at George Fox). Octavio worries about his citizenship—and is still worried, though now married to a citizen. Many—maybe most, including these three—are doing just fine.
Amid a lot of lobotomized flap about immigrants—in Arizona in particular—what this book offers is an actual human face on immigration and the people affected by it. Woodburn here isn't so much "Little Mexico," but a study in what it means to be American.

Carrie Underwood to Perform at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Carrie Underwood is bringing her powerhouse vocals to the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony!
The country star won't be onstage alone; a slew of top-notch musical friends are joining the singer to perform a musical tribute in honor of Linda Ronstadt. Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, and Sheryl Crow are also part of the tribute.
Eagle Glenn Frey will do the duty of inducting Ronstadt; he played guitar in her band before teaming up with two other Ronstadt band members to form the Eagles.
Sadly, Ronstadt will not be able to attend the induction ceremony due to her struggle with Parkinson's Disease which she opened up about last fall, admitting she can no longer hit the correct notes while singing.
The rest of the 2014 inductees include Cat Stevens, the E Street Band, Nirvana, Peter Gabriel, KISS, Daryl Hall and John Oates, Andrew Loog Oldham, and Brian Epstein; the latter are non-musicians, early managers of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, respectively.
Inductees Hall and Oates, Gabriel, and Cat Stevens will perform during the April 10 ceremony, which will be broadcast May 31 on HBO.
Underwood is certainly familiar with the other Hall of Fame -- the country version. Her Blown Away Tour was memorialized in an exhibit at the museum last year.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children can create unique physical, developmental, educational and social needs. At Nemours, our child behavioral specialists use standard guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and information from people who know your child well like teachers, caregivers and you to help address ADHD symptoms in children.
Our behavioral health experts use a family-centered, team approach to provide outpatient psychological evaluations, consultations, and other treatments to care for children with ADHD.
ADHD Symptoms in Children
ADHD in children causes hyperactivity and inattention such as:
- constant movement, fidgeting or squirming
- inability to complete tasks
- difficulty playing quietly
- distractibility
- problems with interrupting or intruding on others
- excessive talking

As a parent, it's normal for kids to be forgetful every now and then, act impulsively, or even have trouble keeping still. But when these behaviors continue and affect home life, school work and social interactions, it can signal ADHD in children. At Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Lake Mary, our child behavior experts specialize in finding the reasons for your child's behavior, and offering solutions to help manage ADHD in children.
What is ADHD in Children? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children is a common behavioral disorder broken down into three subtypes each with its own pattern of behaviors:
- Inattentive type with signs that include:
- inability to pay attention
- difficulty following directions
- difficulty listening
- problems with organization
- tendency to lose things like toys or homework
- distractibility
- difficulty focusing on tasks or play activities
- Hyperactive-impulsive type with signs that include:
- fidgeting or squirming
- difficulty remaining seated
- excessive running or climbing
- difficulty playing quietly
- always seeming to be "on the go"
- excessive talking
- blurting out answers before hearing the full question
- problems interrupting or intruding
- difficulty waiting for a turn or in line
- Combined type: the most common type of ADHD and includes a combination of the inattentive type and the hyperactive-impulsive type
Before making a diagnosis, we recommend that your child has a medical examination, that includes a hearing and vision test, to rule out symptoms that mimic symptoms of ADHD in children. Following the medical exam, you and your child will meet with our mental health experts to begin gathering information about your child.
We'll conduct a clinical assessment, similar to an interview, which will include screening questionnaires for you, your child's teacher(s), school and others who may have daily interaction with your child to complete. Also, we may perform psychometric testing that measures IQ and achievement to rule out a learning disability or developmental delay, a process that measures skill development during predictable growth periods in children.
Depending on whether your child is primarily inattentive (the most common) or primarily hyperactive, there are three different types of attention disorders by which your child can be diagnosed:
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominately hyperactive-impulsive type
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominately inattentive-type (also known as ADD)
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, combined-type (most common: combined hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention symptoms of equal significance)
Is it ADHD?
Some of the things we look for in children who may have ADHD include:
- displays behaviors from one of the three subtypes before age 7: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined type
- these behaviors must be more severe than in other kids the same age
- the behaviors must last for at least 6 months
- the behaviors must occur in and negatively affect at least two areas of your child's life: school, home, daycare, or friendships
Although ADHD in children can't be cured, it is manageable. Our specialists will work with you and your child to develop an individualized treatment plan. We'll help your child learn to control negative behaviors and make adjustments to become more productive.
Types of treatment we offer to help manage ADHD in children include:
- psycho-education: information about ADHD
- parent training: techniques for managing ADHD symptoms using behavioral strategies that work for your family
- individual cognitive behavioral therapy: tips to help your child and your family learn new behavior patterns for home and school
- medication therapy: assessing whether medications, which may include stimulants and non-stimulants, make sense for your child, who will be monitored closely
- consultation with community providers: including with your child's primary care doctor, and your child's school and teacher(s) to offer recommendations to improve his or her ability to manage symptoms in that setting
- pediatric psychologists: licensed mental health professionals with a doctorate degree, and who specialize in the study of childhood development as it relates to behaviors and emotions. While they don't prescribe medications, they can help monitor the effects of medication therapy on your child.
- pediatric psychiatrists: medical doctors with advanced training in preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. In addition to psychotherapy, a child psychiatrist may prescribe medication therapy when necessary.
- neuropsychologists: mental health professionals with a doctorate degree, who specialize in studying how the brain affects your child's action and thought.
- social workers: licensed clinical professionals who help children and their families solve and cope with problems. They may diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional issues.
- mental health counselors: skilled licensed professionals who provide psychotherapy support along with problem-solving strategies to produce favorable resolutions.

Bieber's Beach Bash, Lindsay's New Low & More Of This Weekend's Best Celeb Stories — In Case You Missed Them!
Happy Monday! It's time to catch up with what your favorite stars have been up to!
Life was a beach this weekend for Justin Bieber — literally! The Biebs took some time off from promoting his album in Australia to play ball on Sydney's Whale Beach. Life wasn't so good to Lindsay Lohan, though, as news broke this weekend that she's been dropped from her latest movie The Other Side. According to insiders, she wasn't "bankable" enough to star. Ouch!
We got our first peek at Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's $20 million dream home this weekend — and while that's obviously a hefty price tag, it's mere chump change to Simon Cowell. It was reported that the American Idol judge is now worth $250 million. I guess it pays to be mean!
Love was in the air on the Hawaiian set of Just Go With It, as new BFFs Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman hugged it out for the cameras. And speaking of new connections, Josh Hartnett and Abbie Cornish were spotted getting cozy at a Manhattan bar, chatting for hours and leaving together on Sunday around 1 a.m. And love was also in the air for new couple Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend Jim Toth. They flaunted their new romance with some major hand-holding over a cozy lunch in LA.
There was lots of Jon & Kate Gosselin news this weekend, too! Upon returning home to Reading, Pa., Kate dumped the eight kids with Jon and took off for a day of fake tanning and pedicures. Can you believe it? At least she'll be spending more time with the kids when they join her on her new TLC series Kate Plus 8. All the paperwork has been filed, and the kids are officially approved to go back in front of the cameras!
This weekend also brought with it a couple of big-time bummers! First, Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin were no-shows at their own after-party (we really wanted to see them!) Then came Gabourey Sidibe's truly disappointing performance on Saturday Night Live.
Rocker Bret Michaels is still in the hospital, but we did get an update from his rep over the weekend. He's apparently suffering from "blurred vision" and "slurred speech," among other things. We consulted a neurologist, who told us that Bret's initial brain hemorrhage likely had no connection to the head injury he suffered at the 2009 Tony Awards.
And lastly (but certainly not least) we had tons of gorgeous sights to check out this weekend! Christina Applegate debuted her HUGE engagement ring in Los Angeles, Kristin Cavallari showed off her naturally perfect figure by the pool in Las Vegas, and the Victoria's Secret Angels made a gorgeous appearance at the launch of a new fragrance in NYC!

As expected, Zipp have adapted the Firecrest shape first introduced on their 404 to the shallower 45mm depth of the 303 for 2012. With the new, broader shape – a whopping 28.5mm across at its widest point – Zipp claim the 303 Firecrest registers eight percent less drag than its forebear.
It's designed around 23mm-wide tires, although Zipp say that even with 25mm tires in place, it's still more aerodynamically efficient than comparable wheels from Easton, Lightweight or Mavic with 23mm tires fitted. Stiffness has supposedly improved seven percent, too, mostly owing to the 7.5mm wider rear hub bearing spacing and a canted non-driveside spoke flange that lends a straighter path from hub to rim.
Weight on the tubular set hasn't changed much, with a claimed figure of 1,198g, but new for 2012 is the long awaited all-carbon clincher version, which is much lighter than the older aluminum-carbon set at a claimed 1,498g. Suggested retail price for the tubular set is US$2,300/€2,100 and the clinchers will cost $2,700/€2,500. Both will be available starting 3 October in two new colors: the stealthy Beyond Black or the grey-and-silver Falcon Grey.
The new Zipp 303 Firecrest rear hub features wider bearing spacing and a canted non-driveside spoke flange for improved lateral stiffness
Zipp have also updated their Service Course range of cockpit components for 2012, adding a new SSR (Super Short Reach) drop bar bend, zero-offset seatposts, and the new SLSpeed seatpost with a molded carbon shaft and slick low-profile head that's said to weigh just 185g.
Bontrager unveil full range of aero road wheels
Bontrager announced a full range of carbon fiber aero road wheels at this year's Eurobike show: the 35mm-deep Aeolus 3, the 50mm-deep Aeolus 5, the Aeolus 7 and the Aeolus 9, all of which will eventually be offered in both tubular and carbon clincher versions.
Adopting what they call 'Dual Direction Design' – or D3 for short – that supposedly accounts for incoming air passing over both the tire at the front half of the wheel and the rim at the rear, Bontrager say the new Aeolus posts better drag numbers in the wind tunnel than any other wheel of comparable dimensions. More impressively, Bontrager are claiming that each of the Aeolus D3 wheels is faster than competitors' even-deeper wheels, while still retaining the weight and crosswind handling advantages of a shallower section.
Bontrager launched a full range of carbon aero road wheels at this year's Eurobike show, including the 35mm-deep Aeolus 3 (left) and 50mm-deep Aeolus 5
As is increasingly common these days, the US-made rims boast a rather blunt nose and a very wide section that maxes out at 27.5mm. DT Swiss provide the rear hub internals, straight-pull spokes and nipples – which are externally located for easier maintenance – but the hub shells are a Bontrager design with carbon center tubes (alloy ones on the clinchers) and a 'stacked' driveside rear arrangement that widens the bracing angle for improved lateral stiffness.
Claimed weights for the 35mm and 50mm Aeolus D3 tubular wheelsets are 1,150g (35mm) and 1,295g (50mm), and the 50mm-deep clinchers are 1,590g a set – official weights on the other models are still to be released. Retail prices are US$2,300 across the board for tubulars and $2,700 for clinchers, and Bontrager will offer the Aeolus range as individual wheels for easier mixing and matching of depths along with a wide range of decal colors. Custom options will add another US$200. The Aeolus 3 is shipping to dealers now, with most of the other models arriving by the end of the year.
The so-called 'stacked' driveside flange on Bontrager's new Aeolus rear hub pushes the spokes out as close to the cassette as possible for better lateral stiffness
Also coming from Bontrager later this autumn is the Aura 5 clincher, which uses a similar shape to the Aeolus range but an aluminum and carbon rim to reduce the cost.
More Road Tubeless options from Fulcrum for 2012
Fulcrum's major road introduction for 2012 is the Red Wind collection of aluminum-and-carbon-fiber aero clincher wheels, the company's first foray into such hybrid construction. Fulcrum will offer the Red Wind range in three depths – 50, 80 and 105mm – and four levels, with the top-end XLR 2-Way Fit models offering Road Tubeless compatibility and Cult hybrid ceramic bearings across the board.
Common features include co-molded aluminum rims with solid rim beds, structural carbon fiber caps, trick aluminum guides at each nipple seat that help ensure proper spoke alignment and distribute load over a larger area for better durability, aluminum hub shells with Fulcrum's trademark Two-to-One rear lacing pattern, and oversized aluminum nipples.
The Fulcrum Red Wind XLR is the lightest in Fulcrum's new aluminum-and-carbon road wheelset range. The 80mm versions weigh 1,770g per pair
Weights are competitive throughout the range, with the lightest 50mm-deep Red Wind XLR 2-Way Fit model coming in at a claimed 1,590g for the set and the Red Wind XLR 105mm 2-Way Fit weighing 1,960g. Suggested retail prices range from US$1,539-$3,438 depending on model.
Off-road, Fulcrum will add the new entry-level 26in-only Red Power wheels with straightforward alloy clincher rims, alloy hubs and J-bend spokes; the slightly lighter Red Power SL wheels with straight-pull spokes and 26in or 29in options; and the all-new Red Power XL range with externally milled aluminum rims to save weight, oversized aluminum hub axles and six-bolt or Center Lock rotor fitment options.
The Fulcrum Red Power XL is a new model for 2012. The rim is milled to save weight
DT Swiss move upscale with RRC Dicut collection
DT Swiss's 2012 road range is topped by the all-new RRC Dicut carbon fiber wheel collection. Dedicated hubs front and rear use straight-pull spokes and flanges pushed way to the edges of the shell for what we expect to be the best lateral stiffness figures in the company catalog. Special heat-resistant resins promise reliable braking even on long downhills, and new shapes plus a 'swirl lip' just behind the spoke holes – similar to what Reynold have been doing – presumably offers better aerodynamics than in years past.
DT Swiss will offer tubular and carbon clincher RRC Dicut wheels in three depths – 32, 46 and 66mm – as well as a new rear disc. The lightest RRC 32 Dicut T set is said to weigh just 1,090g while the 66mm-deep version is still impressive at 1,415g a pair. Clincher variants add 200-260g per set depending on the depth while claimed weights on the rear RRC Disc Dicut wheels vary between 1,050g and 1,200g depending on tire fitment.
A 'swirl lip' just behind the spoke holes on DT Swiss's new RRC Dicut rims supposedly makes for better airflow
Also new from DT Swiss for 2012 are the lower-cost RC carbon clinchers in 32mm and 46mm depths, tubeless-compatible RR 1600 TL and RR 1800 TL alloy clinchers, and a 30mm-deep disc-compatible Cyclo Cross aluminum clincher with Center Lock hubs and 135mm rear spacing.
We've already shown you the highlights of DT Swiss's 2012 off-road range but one pleasant surprise at Eurobike was the FX 1950 Tricon freeride set. This has 23mm-wide (internal) tubeless-compatible rims designed to handle up to 2.7in-wide tires, star ratchet rear hub internals, and multiple through-axle hub fitments – and we have to admit to being keen on the bright green finish, too. Claimed weight is 2,000g for the set.

Suspension-wise, DT Swiss's major new offerings are 29er versions of their XMM 100 and 120 forks with Single Shot or Twin Shot damping systems, ABS air spring systems, quick-release or 15mm through-axle dropout options, aluminum or carbon fiber straight or tapered steerers and crowns, and optional remotes – all with HollowArch magnesium lowers.
Easton add Road Tubeless model, trail models to wheel range for 2012
Easton have finally jumped into the Road Tubeless market with their new EA90 RT, whose relatively shallow aluminum rims feature the same threaded nipple inserts as on their Haven and Havoc mountain bike wheels that allow for a solid and airtight outer wall.
The company are quick to point out, however, that the EA90 RT isn't just tubeless-compatible but rather fully certified as conforming to Road Tubeless dimensions for a supposedly more reliable fit. Also, the 17.5mm internal rim width lends more air volume than typical road rims for a cushier ride and surer cornering traits. Claimed weight for the set is 1,550g and retail cost is set at US$800.
Easton add a Road Tubeless-certified option to their 2012 range – the EA90 RT
Easton are also bringing tubeless compatibility to lower price points on the mountain bike side with their new EA70 XCT model, which uses similar dual-threaded nipple technology as on the EA90 RT but with burlier disc-compatible hubs and wider UST-certified 19mm (internal) rims.
Easton will offer the EA70 XCT in both 26in and 29in options plus quick-release or 15mm through-axle fitments up front and quick-release, 12x135mm or 12x142mm through-axle rear fitments. Claimed weights are 1,620g or 1,745g depending on diameter and retail price is $725-750.

NoTubes lighten up with new ZTR Arch EX rim
Stan's NoTubes replace their popular ZTR Arch cross-country rim with the new ZTR Arch EX, which grows in width just a touch from 24.4mm to 24.6mm (external) but sheds 20g across the board thanks to a thinner extrusion. Claimed rim weights are now just a paltry 400g for anodized 26in models and 450g for anodized 29in samples.
As usual, NoTubes will offer the ZTR Arch EX as separate rims, prebuilt wheels with the company's own Stan's 3.30 hubs, or fully custom wheels with your choice of a wide range of hubs from American Classic, Hope, DT Swiss, Stan's or Cannondale, with spokes from DT Swiss across the board.
Stan's NoTubes have revamped their popular Arch rim design for 2012. It's now 20g lighter
E*thirteen jump into complete wheel game
Chain guide and crank specialists e*thirteen will jump into the complete wheelset market with three new 26in models and one 29er offering for the cross-country, trail and downhill markets. All have trick scandium rims built with brazed-on eyelets, huge-diameter hubs with quick six-degree engagement speeds, and DT Swiss Supercomp triple-butted stainless steel spokes that e*thirteen's Chris Costello says yield 5-12 percent stiffness gains over comparable Easton models.
The lightest XCX+ wheelset uses a 26.5/21mm-wide (external/internal), tubeless-ready TRS+ scandium rim that's said to weigh just 372g in 26in trim, and alloy bodied XCX+ hubs for total weights of 1,444g or 1,464g depending on axle fitment.
E*thirteen have added several wheel models to their range for 2012
The TRS+ will use the same rim – in 26in or 29in fitments – but beefier TRS+ hubs with larger diameter spoke flanges (59mm front, 77mm rear) and carbon center shells. Claimed wheelset weights range from 1,650g to 1,762g depending on rim size and axle fitment.
E*thirteen's burliest wheelset option will be the LG1+, which uses a wider 29.4/23mm scandium rim and beefier hubs with even bigger spoke flanges (77-91mm!). Claimed weight is 2,050g for the pair. The XCX and LG1+ wheels also get matching machined aluminum cranks using e*thirteen's clever 30mm aluminum spindle and tapered triangular interface.
All e*thirteen wheels feature monstrously oversized hubs
What really caught our eye, however, were the new LG1+ flat pedals. E*thirteen have opted for a novel polycarbonate and aluminum sandwich-type body construction that Costello says lends better impact protection and is more likely to slide across rocks than all-metal bodies. The plastic platforms are also replaceable when they get really chewed up.
Additional features include 4mm or 7mm traction pins, low-profile Igus axle bushings with adjustable preload so users can tune how freely they spin, and either chromoly or titanium spindles and pins. They're also light, with the top-end LG1R model coming in at just 380g – 42g lighter than CrankBrothers' 5050 3.

Braves beat Mets to complete Friday's suspended game
Flushing, NY – Dan Uggla's base hit in the 10th inning sent home the go-ahead run, and the Atlanta Braves took a 7-5 decision over the New York Mets in the completion of Friday's rain suspended contest.
The Mets scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score at 5-5, but the contest was suspended following a 75-minute rain delay.
When play resumed on Saturday, New York's Bobby Parnell worked out of trouble in the ninth by inducing an inning ending double play, but Brandon Lyon (1-2) wasn't as fortunate in the following frame.
He walked Freddie Freeman to start the 10th and Brian McCann ripped a double down the right field line to put runners on second and third. Uggla then pushed the go-ahead run across with a single into left to make it 6-5.
The Braves tacked on an insurance run on B.J. Upton's sacrifice squeeze bunt. Jordan Schafer, pinch-running for McCann, hustled down the third base line and beat Lyon's flip to the plate for a two-run advantage.
Craig Kimbrel locked down his 15th save of the season to secure a seventh straight win for Atlanta. He allowed the first two runners to reach, but got Ruben Tejada to pop out on a bunt attempt.
Justin Turner then grounded into a game-ending double-play to ensure the Mets' fifth loss in six games.
Uggla stroked a solo homer earlier in the contest and Freeman gave Atlanta a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a two-run homer. Freeman scored three times -- including the go-ahead run.
After Uggla's homer brought the Braves even in the seventh, Evan Gattis broke the 3-3 tie an inning later. Pinch-hitting, he stroked a two-run single with the bases loaded to give the Braves a brief advantage, but the Mets quickly countered.
With two outs and runners on first and second, Daniel Murphy laced his third hit of the game, a single into center to score John Buck.
Upton committed a fielding error on the play, which allowed Tejada to advance to third. The blunder proved costly, as the Mets brought the tying run home on a wild pitch from Anthony Varvaro (2-0). Tejada raced to the plate and just beat the throw to make it 5-5.
Varvaro started the ninth for the Braves a day later and set the Mets down in order to pick up the win.
Lucas Duda drove in the Mets' first run when his shallow fly ball dropped into left field for a base hit in the first inning. Buck drilled his 11th homer of the season to tie the score at 2-2 in the fourth.
Jeremy Hefner tossed six innings and retired 16 of the last 18 batters he faced. He left with the lead after Marlon Byrd provided an RBI single in the fifth, but reliever LaTroy Hawkins immediately gave up the advantage when Uggla homered to start the seventh.
Kris Medlen made the start for Atlanta and also went six innings. He struck out nine and surrendered three runs on seven hits.
Game Notes
The Mets have lost all nine games in which Hefner has started ... It was New York's first suspended game since an Aug. 6 contest against the Chicago Cubs in 1986. The Mets won 7-6 when play resumed the next day ... New York's Ike Davis struck out four times and finished 1-for-5 ... McCann had three hits for Atlanta, which went 2-for-8 with RISP.
