Shana Martin honors mother's battle with Huntington's disease
Family seeks support for Huntington's Disease resource chapter
MADISON, Wis. - Shana Martin is a Madison native, a world-class athlete and a champion for those living with Huntington's disease.
Martin's mother, Debby, died Saturday from the genetic disorder that slowly robs people of their motor functions.
With her daughter and husband by her side, Debby Martin lived beyond the boundaries of Huntington's disease, which affects 30,000 Americans.
Last March's Re-Prom event was a chance to celebrate lives like Debby's.
"I look forward to this evening all year," said Shana Martin, "Because it's the one night that my mom can get out of there and see everybody else and celebrate."
The Re-Prom was just one of several events Shana Martin organized to honor her mother's battle. The five-time log rolling world champion utilized the athletic stage to spread awareness and raise money for a cure.
"I've realized it was my passion, and it was all for her. And it went from a few small fundraisers to big events like we had last weekend," Shana Martin said.19180202
And just like last year, Shana's father, George, donned his tux, and picked up his date for the Re-Prom event.
But a respiratory illness that night determined where the two would say goodbye.
"I got to the emergency room," George Martin said. "They put me with a social worker and sat me down and said, 'We're sorry, but your wife passed away in the ambulance on the way.' And it was such a shock because she was all dressed up to go to the prom. She went to heaven instead."
Hours after losing Debby, father and daughter found the courage to dance at Saturday's "Re-Prom."
"We knew she'd want us to go," George said. "You could almost feel her telling us 'go.' This is an important event, and she was with us there in spirit, I'm sure."
She wasn't lucky enough to see Shana walk down the aisle, but weeks before her death, Debby got to see the engagement ring on her daughter's finger.
"Her eyes don't normally lock on anything, and they locked on the ring," said Shana. "And we're very, very sure that she knows that I'll be taken care of, and that my dad and I are going to be OK."
The Martin family is asking the Madison community to remember the life of Deborah Martin by contributing to the Wisconsin Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America.

IRVINE – Orange County's only UC campus has been ranked the 16th best value among U.S. public colleges by personal finance magazine Kiplinger, behind four other University of California campuses.
UC Irvine, along with Los Angeles, Berkeley, San Diego and Santa Barbara, landed spots in the magazine's top 20 list despite a 72 percent increase in tuition over the past five years. The magazine assessed colleges' value using a weighted formula that examined admission and graduation rates, tuition costs, financial aid and student debt data, among other factors.
"Fortunately, most students don't pay the shocking sticker prices" for a UC education, Kiplinger said in its report. "UC schools offset their high cost with liberal financial aid."
UC undergraduate tuition was raised 18 percent last year, to $12,192 annually, and UC officials were considering an additional 20 percent increase this year if California voters had rejected Gov. Jerry Brown's Proposition 30 tax-hike initiative in November.
"Regardless of the tuition increases, you're getting probably one of the best educations in the world," said Ria Carlson, UC Irvine's associate vice chancellor for communications. "There's a lot to crow about here, and it's great for Orange County – you really have a world-class institution at your doorstep."
UC Irvine moved up six spots in this year's Kiplinger best-value ranking; it was ranked 22nd last year.
The full report is on newsstands now.
Among the four UC campuses that bested UC Irvine this year, UCLA moved up three spots to No. 6, UC Berkeley dropped one spot to No. 8, UC San Diego held steady at No. 10 and UC Santa Barbara moved up three spots to No. 14.
All of UC's undergraduate campuses except Merced made Kiplinger's top 100 best-value list. UC Davis ranked 23rd, UC Santa Cruz 54th and UC Riverside 92nd.
The California State University campuses that made Kiplinger's top 100 list were: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (No. 40), San Diego State (No. 77), Cal State Long Beach (No. 82) and Cal Poly Pomona (No. 89).
Kiplinger's top-ranked U.S. public colleges were the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (No. 1), University of Virginia (No. 2) and University of Florida (No. 3).
Among private U.S. colleges, which Kiplinger ranked separately, the top-value honors went to Yale (No. 1), Rice (No. 2) and Princeton (No. 3).
The highest-ranked California private colleges were: Cal Tech (No. 5), Stanford (No. 8), USC (No. 32), Santa Clara (No. 33) and Pepperdine (No. 47).
No O.C. private colleges made Kiplinger's top 100 list.

Here's the code again:
u64 encode(Position const &p) { u64 occupied = p.white | p.black; return ((occupied << 1) | BOTTOM_ROW) ^ p.black; }
Hopefully it is clear what `occupied' means. `occupied << 1' means the set of squares that are above an occupied square. I compute the union of that and the bottom row (which is a constant) and now I have the set of all the squares occupied or on top of an occupied one. XORing that with the set of black pieces sets the places with black pieces to 0, leaving the unique number that I described early in this thread.
Is that clear now?
Remember to do something about what I mentioned at the end of post #17.

Show equipment under Experiment level
I wish to show equipment list under experiment level too. Currently the equipment list shows only under project level, but it is selected/edited under experiment level. This inconsistency may cause troubles sometimes. For example, for a multi-site project, the equipment list at the project level is a mix of equipment from all sites. Sometimes it is hard to find exactly which equipment is used in one specific experiment.
I remember there was discussion about this, but I cannot remember a clear conclusion.

- Description
Ohrid, an immortal town, on the mythical Balkan, a magical hill of Macedonia whose primordial pulsation links ancient and modern times forever.
Ohrid has been a living town for two thousand and four hundred years, the legitimate descendant of the shining Lychida, a town whose achievements were woven into the tapestry of a powerful ancient civilization. The town of Ohrid is indeed the cultural history of the Republic of Macedonia in miniature.
As an Episcopal center in ancient times, and likewise through the widely renowned Ohrid archbishopric, the town has likewise through the centuries represented the entire ecclesiastical history of Macedonia.
It bears the name "The Balkan Jerusalem".
Trough the activity of St. Clement of Ohrid, at the end of 9th and the beginning of the 10th century the first pan - Slavonic university in Europe was situate here.
Ohrid was the most important official capital of the first mediaeval Macedonian state, of Samuel's empire.
Ohrid is a literary center of Macedonia in the 19th century with the strong maxim of one of the greatest European intellectuals of that time, the native from Ohrid, Grigor Prlichev, so called "The Second Homer": PERFECTION OR DEATH!
Today Ohrid is a cultural, spiritual and tourist center of Macedonia. And finally, as the crowning glory of its values, Ohrid and the Lake of Ohrid were declared a cultural and natural heritage site under protection of UNESCO since 1980.

pycage, while MPU-side decoding is the easiest way to go, DSP-side will still be beneficial (albeit somewhat more complicated). Whether the benefits are worth the effort is another matter. The tools that you need to roll your own codecs are available, and you can do this mostly in C without having to resort to too much tms320c55x assembly. The biggest issue is likely familiarizing yourself with the DSP kernel, the socket node interfaces, and so forth. Most of this is documented pretty well at the dspgateway page.
For the adventurous, there's still an unused mailbox line between MPU and DSP on 1710 in the current implementation that could probably be round-robin'ed pretty easily. We also presently don't make use of hardware page table walking, which makes the exmap interface a bit clunky (essentially wiring TLB entries by hand, but at least they're pre-faulted).
It would also be interesting to see how the FP-driven codecs compare to the integer-based one under EABI with a soft-float toolchain. ogg123 might even be usable out of the box with soft-float (though at likely higher than the CPU utilization numbers that have been quoted). On another note, it's also pretty easy to figure out DSP load average through the sysfs interface, so it may be worthwhile to profile some of that, especially if the DSP ends up getting more heavily loaded.

Huskies stunned at home by Albany
SEATTLE - Way back on Day One of this Huskies season, even before they went to Europe for a six-game exhibition tour in August, Lorenzo Romar told his players if they didn't play defense better this would be a long year.
The second game of the regular season reinforced that lesson - and left the teacher taking full blame while describing himself as "very disappointed. Very disappointed."
"I take full responsibility for what just happened," Washington 11th-year coach said Tuesday night moments after defensive lapses throughout - especially on Mike Black's winning drive and score with 3.7 seconds left -- ensured the defending Pac-12 champions' 63-62 loss to Albany of the America East Conference.
"We needed to do a better job defending them, especially down the stretch. And we didn't. And that's my responsibility to have them better prepared against the offense they were going to run.
"It's on me. ... You can place the blame on me," Romar said, after imploring his guys to not stay on double teams so long to prevent easy baskets at the rim. "You haven't taught until they've learned. They didn't learn it, so that goes back on the teacher."
UW lost co-captain Scott Suggs to a head injury 90 seconds into the game. Fellow co-captain, Abdul Gaddy, scored 16 points, one of his career high.
The Dawgs' senior swooped into the lane to seize a rebound off Aziz N'Diaye's missed free throw and scored inside with 18 seconds left to put UW (1-1) in front 62-61. That was after a frenetic stretch of pressure defense on the ball turned a three-point deficit into a seven-point lead early in the second half.
Albany took the ball up court after Gaddy heroics and eventually called time outs with 12 and then 8 seconds remaining. Its last play isolated Black, who had been running an effective high pick-and-roll most of the second half with Great Danes big man John Puk, against C.J. Wilcox at the top of the lane. Black drove down the left side of the lane past Wilcox and put in his shot high off the glass for his last of a game-high 22 points.
The 7-foot N'Diaye wasn't at the rim to contest Black's shot because Romar had replaced him with guard Hikeem Stewart in a switching defense and in correct anticipation one of Albany's two scoring guards would take the last shot.
Plus, N'Diaye had repeatedly been left standing away from the rim in failed double teams throughout the second half on the high pick-and-rolls plays Albany kept running with Black.
With no time outs after UW used consecutive ones to set up its previous, go-ahead possession, Gaddy got the ball to about 25 feet from the basket. His shot on the run missed off the right side of the rim to seal the Huskies' second regular-season, nonconference loss since the 2007-08 season.
Wilcox said the Dawgs were expecting Black or Albany guard Jacob Iati, who had 20 points, to take the final shot.
"I still should have done a better job on defense on that last play," said Wilcox, whom Romar says is his second-best defensive player.
"We are definitely stunned, because of the way we came out in the second half we thought we would beat them."
From the first minutes of the game, the Huskies found themselves in what at times resembled an MMA cage match.
Senior co-captain Scott Suggs went out with a head injury that may be concussion in the first 90 seconds after taking an elbow to the face from Black 20 feet from the basket as Black was trying to get free for a shot. While still down on both knees, Suggs got a knee to the back of his head when officials let play continue and players ran down to the other end of the court.
UW plays Seton Hall next on Saturday in Uncasville, Conn., as this Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament continues. The winner of that plays on Sunday there against the winner of Ohio State and Rhode Island.
"He doesn't have a major headache. We don't know if he has a concussion or not," Romar said of Suggs, who knows exactly how Romar wants defense played in this his fifth year playing for him.
Suggs was slowly shuffling out of the arena well after the game ended.
Romar said even without Suggs "we still should have been in better shape than we were" Tuesday night.
A few minutes after Suggs was helped off the floor and into the training room with a trainer and a team doctor on either side of him, Desmond Simmons got hit above his right eye. He left to join Suggs for a while, got stitches, then came back with a bandage over his right eye as if a boxing cornerback had just worked on him.
Jernard Jarreau, the 6-foot-10 redshirt freshman, sat for most of the first 25 minutes while in foul trouble. UW committed six turnovers in the first 8 minutes. Wilcox missed his first six shots, and the Huskies missed 16 of their first 22 attempts.
With all that, it was almost a wonder how Washington was down by only 31-27 at halftime.
"It's not that the last play made the game. In the first half we were slow," N'Diaye said after he had his second double-double in three nights with 13 points and 11 rebounds. "If we would have started the right way, it would have been different in the second half."
Romar demanded his Huskies turn up the pressure on the ball at the start of the second half. Simmons, Wilcox, N'Diaye, Gaddy, and Andrew Andrews responded by swarming the Great Danes any time one touched the ball. Albany committed four turnovers in a hurry and Washington went from down 35-32 to up 45-38 in 4 lightning-like minutes.
It looked like the lesson was finally learned. The teacher had indeed taught.
Yet the Huskies relented their grip on the game. N'Diaye repeatedly lingered too long outside on the double teams with his guards against Black's outside pick-and-roll game. That left either the 6-10 Puk open for three easy scores at the rim, or Black to drive past N'Diaye from outside for more scores. Albany got the lead back at 54-53 with 2:31 to go, setting up the tense and ultimately frustrating finish.
It could haunt UW all season - if they don't learn.
Or, as Romar says, truly get taught.
"If we let this into two or three (losses), yes it will," haunt us," Romar said. "If we can go from here and not stub our toe like this again then lesson learned early in the year.
"But if this is a recurring theme, it will certainly be a big blow to us."

My biggest deciding factor when I placed my recent litter was.....If it was going to be a caring "forever" home. Didn't want my pups treated like a commodity that was traded and sold often. Think everyone that has one of the "Karma" pups is exactly that.

I think I might have to jump in on this thread.. When I made pups with Darla and Copper in 2007, I sold them all to hunting homes.. I didn't care if they trialed or not. One puppy though, I am sad to report, went to a home that turned out to be a sort of puppy producing place. She later was sold or placed in a hunting home.. I didn't do enough research on that person.. One of my pups lived lots and lots of days on a hunting guide boat as a bird retrieving machine. I have another one who lives on the Kenai River and catches her own fish.. One of my pups lives at a hunting home, but when he isn't doing his job, I hear he is a hideous pain in the ass, as he has no direction...
Now that I am breeding Spanky soon, I am going to be looking first at trialing homes, hunt test homes, etc.. But will also be looking at anyone who honestly will give a pup a sweet home with lots to do.. If I sell a couple to people who use pro's, then I am pretty sure they will be worked, and taken care of..
Both my girls are trialing dogs, hunting dogs, run-around-idiots, who sleep on the bed, love to play chuck-it, howl for treats, and keep the couch warm.. That's what sort of home I hope I find for my pups..

I can tell you from personal experience that these high energy bred dogs need a lot of attention and work or you'll pay a big price. About 15 years ago I had a Vedges Big Boy pup and a Dirt Road Sport pup. Both high energy dogs. Well, at the time I was wanting to get into the HT game and was going to do the training myself. I bought a few books and started training with my brother-in-law that had a HRCH and all was going well. Ran a couple started tests and then a few seasoned passes. Got a management position with acompany starting up an office in Baton Rouge so I had to give up the 40 hour week to get the company kicked off and that took 60-70 hours a week. Well, guess what took priority. To make a long story short, I had to replace the siding on the back of the house for as far up as they could reach. I was having to buy bark collars at a rate of 4 a year because they would chew them off of each other and then destroy them. They knocked over furniture, scratched wood floors and whatever else they could get into. They finally calmed down a little at 4 years old but were still high energy. They both passed away at 13 1/2years old and were some of the most loyal dogs I had ever had. When we decided to get into the game again I made sure I was going to have the time to devote to them and the funds to do it right. The 2 Ali pups I have now get worked every weekend and in the evenings on weekdays when it's not too hot. They spent 13 months with a pro. The on/off switch works great. They're running hunt tests and doing it right. In a nutshell, if you get one of these high energy dogs, be prepared to spend the time and money to do it right or it'll cost you dearly. Trust me,I know first hand.

When I say "on a pro truck", I don't literally mean on the truck. I mean living full time in a kennel and competing/training year round.
I appreciate all the comments here. I agree that perhaps my question is too general and there are varying degrees of lifestyles for these dogs. Thanks again
pcarpenter, it sounds like you know what is involved with owning one of these dogs. I do agree that some breeders are looking to place dogs in competititve homes. Competitive does not necessarily mean that the dogs will be put with a pro. In some cases, it means placed wit a successful amatuer that trains their own dogs. They are just looking for people who will showcase their lines abilities.
Well, this started off as a really interesting thread. Too bad we couldn't keep it that way. (Rick_C 2009, Classic RTF)

I'm sure there are dogs out there bonded to the good pros and enjoying a good life doing what they were bred to do and respected in the process. LOTS of truly great amateur trainers (albeit money and circumstances are a plus) who give their dogs the best of worlds. Sadly, there are just as many square pegs in round holes filling a hole in a pro truck who would be much happier living a life with someone who appreciated them as more than a commodity.
If this sounds too touch feely-so be it, but I think it should be a dog's birthright to be appreciated at the end of the day. Ask them to do what they are capable of and don't expect more than that.

With 24 dogs in training, if the pro never sleeps they would have 1 hr per day per dog . Realistically it is more like 12 hr days with 1/2 hr per day per dog.
Add in some (2)help at 1/2 hr each per dog and you are now up to 1 1/2 MH hrs per day per dog to. Air the dog, wash down the kennel, load up, pick up the airing yard, drive to the training grounds, set up the ''setup", run the setup, set up and run another, run a few blinds, feed and air the dogs, drive back to the kennel , unload.........
While you aren't doing anything, you can cook, eat, clean up the kitchen, go to the vet, catch feed and water the fliers, pick up or drop off a few dogs at the air port. ,try to get a few bitches bred, clean the truck, clean the house,do your laundry, grocery shop etc,etc,etc.........
I went on enough winter trips to know..... There just is not enough hours in the day for much "1 on 1" ( touch feely)with the dogs

"i guess the old saying 'those of us that think we know everything annoy those of you that does' " --bobbyb 9/13/06
"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
And here is what happens in the average day to day life of a family dog:
Alarms go off, people running around getting ready to go to work, school, daycare, church, what have you. People starting talking louder as they rush to shower, shave, the other "s" word, get dressed, get others dressed, fix breakfast, do last minute homework, fix lunches, find a new outfit because someone spilled syrup on you, find car keys, backpacks, books, phones, etc..
All the while poor fido is looking for attention, food, and needing to go to the bathroom. He is being told to go lay down, get out of the way, others are trying to sneak him food under the table so he is now under foot again. If he is lucky, he gets banished to the back yard, "finally! I get to pee!". If he is REALLY lucky, someone on the way out will remember to let him back in, and maybe throw him some kibble and refill his bowl. Of course if that is the responsibility of the one of the teenagers who is out for three different sports, or the one with the brand new boyfriend that she is trying to impress- and after all, dog hair and slobber are NOT cool- then that just might get left off their "things to do" list.
During the day, fido will either: a) lounge in the yard b) lounge in the crate in the house c) lounge in kennel in the yard or d) lounge on the furniture in house, for which he may or may not have privileges. That day could be 8 hours, but most likely closer to 11 depending on where owners work, traffic, how many other stops they make on the way home, etc.. Once they get home, it's homework time, supper time, and for half the year, its dark outside. If the kids have sports and practices, its even later for most of the family, if not all of them. Next comes bath time, a favorite tv show, and by golly its already 10:00pm and time for the news, weather, and bed!
But hey, the weekend is free, right? Depends on how good your wife is with chores, housecleaning, and laundry. And if you are the one having to do this by your self, you know that the little fairies don't come nearly as often to do it in real life, unlike all those cute little stories. Then there is that pesky lawn that keeps growing, leaves that need raked, that leaky roof, banging shutter, the strange noise that your car is making, your 3rd cousin twice removed's wedding that your spouse/mother is making you go to, and then your beer drinking buddies come over with an invite for a game of poker, BBQ, or you wife decides that you owe her and the kids some quality time at a flea market, not to mention that basketball game that your star son is playing in an hour and a half up the road.
Life is busy. Dogs, by their patient and loving manner, often get left behind in the shuffle. They go about their day, trying to garner some affection and attention, but until or unless they implode into a quivering, barking, bouncing off the walls, destructive beast, they rarely get all that they need or deserve. I am talking about those dogs that are very low key, laid back animals. Put a FT bred to the hilt working dog into a situation evenly remotely like this, and you will make that dog a neurotic mess.
Given the choice of laying on the couch and getting her belly rubbed for two hours while I am watching a movie, and 2 or 3 hours a week training or spending as totally "dog time", or being able to spend 6 out of 7 days a week in the field training for that same amount of time a day (I use a smaller business trainer, only takes on 6 dogs)? My dog will rocket off that couch to plow over the trainer at the door and will be doing the happy dance in front of "her" box on the trailer, if she isn't already riding on top of it.
My dog loves me....but she LOVES her trainer. And since I am paying him to bring out the very best of her FT breeding, that is the way it should be. If I should breed her down the road, I want her pups to have the same opportunity, which means that the best buyers would be those that are already well established in the hunt test/field trial game with either the talent or the money to bring out those same qualities in the pup that they get.

Stonington - A Pawcatuck woman who formally sued First Selectman Ed Haberek this week for allegedly sending her "sexually graphic photos of himself" on his town-issued Blackberry, says she also has sued the town, in part because it has interfered with her legal effort to obtain evidence from the town's cellphone provider.
Tracy Swain, who had notified the town of her intent to sue last week, states in the lawsuit that the town has opposed her effort to lawfully obtain evidence when it has no legal standing to do so.
In court documents, her attorney, Scott Camassar has argued "the wrongs perpetuated by Mr. Haberek in sending photos to the plaintiff constitute a private civil matter between him and the plaintiff."
Over the past month, town labor attorney Michael Satti has filed several motions in the case - called Swain vs. Cellco Partnership - seeking to prevent the disclosure of the phone records and stopping Haberek's deposition.
The suit states that the town assumed liability for Haberek's actions when it appeared in the Swain vs. Cellco action and declared or implied Haberek was an agent of the town at the time of the incident.
The Day filed a freedom of information request with the town Tuesday seeking copies of the legal bills it has incurred so far in the case. As of Thursday, the town had not provided those bills.
In July, Camassar informed Haberek of Swain's claim and three months ago filed a bill of discovery in New London Superior Court seeking to obtain evidence of Haberek's conduct from Verizon Wireless.
The suit also charges Haberek engaged in conduct that he should have known would cause emotional distress and physical injury to Swain, who continues to suffer from migraine headaches.
The suit further charges the town allowed Haberek to contact Swain inappropriately and let him transmit a graphic photos of himself using town equipment and a phone number assigned to the town.
It also alleges the town failed to monitor Haberek's communications with Swain and failed to have a policy or enforce a policy regarding proper use of town equipment and electronic communications. The suit seeks monetary damages.
Haberek has said he cannot comment on the issue because it involves litigation against the town. But he said he reserves the right to take his own legal action against Swain in the future.
Two years ago, Swain had complained about the alleged incident to state police, who investigated and determined no crime had been committed.
During that probe, state police seized Haberek's town-issued BlackBerry and computer and obtained a search warrant for hundreds of pages of his Facebook messages and postings.
The Day requested access to that information, but state police refused to release it. The Day appealed, but the state Freedom of Information Commission ruled that state police did not have to release the information because the investigation involved uncorroborated allegations as well as a signed witness statement and records that, if disclosed, would constitute an invasion of personal privacy. State police also have refused to release to Swain the contents of their investigation.
The suit states that prior to Jan. 12, 2010, Haberek had extensive telephone, email, text message and Facebook communication with Swain. When Swain told him on that date to stop sending the messages, he allegedly sent her the lewd photos.

Hey JC! and Everyone! Oy! what a week & 1/2!!! ThanX for the concern and sorry I didn't post for awhile. I am fine but needless to say was pretty occupied as a result of the recent events, that affected the world!
I actually live in Syracuse which is about 4 hrs away from the city, however, I do alot of business in the city and go down to NYC about every 4 to 5 weeks! I could have easily been there when all this took place, although most likely I would have been in midtown some 30 to 40 blokcs up from the WTC! Actually I was there on Monday the week before the "attack"! and was contemplating going down either that Monday or Tuesday, fortunately I didn't go at all! In that vein, in somewhat of a brightside to all this, even with all the people I know; most of my persoanl concerns and relationships with the city are like my own experience, near misses, and I don't know anyone close(as of yet) that was lost in this horrible tragedy!
One example I mean is that my new roomate and long time friend from highschool, who had lived in the city for the past 2 1/2 years just moved back to Syracuse 2 sundays before the attack! His art studio was about 6 blocks from the WTC, and in another near miss instance: The WTC's have nothing but art studio's on the very top floors, and my buddy had applied to rent one out! Again fortunately for what ever reason, he was denied, and that was one of the main reasons he moved back! If he got the studio, he probablly wouldn't be here today!
However, on the business side of things, I wasn't so lucky! I've only been in contact with 3 of the 10-15 different Importers that I usually deal with! Being mostly in Midtown as I alluded to before, I assume most have just been closed, and unreachable! Although, I am most worried about one who is located on Canal street, being a few blocks away, I don't know if he received any damage to his storefront, or worse? God willing, they are all alright!!!!! As a result though, my wholesale business has sufferred and I'm not sure of it's future! I may have to close teporarily until further notice! So with that, and just the the fact that I've felt drained and my corncern was not with the internet, along with the fact that I was out of town in Mayrland over the weekend all contributed to my lack of posts! Sorry again for not posting, but once again, I highly appreciate the concern! THANK YOU!!! ...and...May The Force Be With ALL of You...Always!
**Evil has destroyed the foundation of the Old World, but in doing so, unknowingly gave birth to a New Hope which casts forth life from the altar of fire to remold, reshape, and parent the responsiblities of that which can only be described as...Ours!**
Think hard, and act!, as to how you want your new world to be?...

Thanks for the heads up! My concern began when I checked up on the thread you started asking if any other SSG posters were from NY. I clicked on your profile and noticed that you hadn't posted since early morning September 11th. I looked up "Da' Cuse" on mapquest and noticed it wasn't too close to Manhattan after I posted my concerns. Still, you never know. You did say that you could have been there. I am glad you are safe. I hope your business associates are o.k., and that business picks up for you again.

Glad to hear you are ok xir!! Jedi Clint executed what i was thinking perfectly, who else is missing from the forums that is from the apple?? I remembered The Xir, but i cant remember if there are more. Well if there are lets hope they are ok also.

Tired. All day at the Protein Soc meeting here in San Diego, but the talks were good overall, a couple made it worth waking up at 5:30am to get there (went to sleep yesterday at 2:30am, finishing my poster presentation), three of them put me right back to sleep (micro-catnaps), even when the topics were interesting.
Poster sessions are interesting, more interaction than a talk, although sometimes very strange people come to talk to you. Usually they are extremely fixated on a problem, and see everything in terms of that problem, even when what you are presenting is in area with null overlap with the problem they are confronting. It is difficult to converse w/ a person like that, he/she runs in circles, or at least in closed curves, no matter were you go, they always end up in the same place.
The "I got a hammer everything looks like nails" case. Makes for strange conversations, in which it seems that you are shinning light into an ever shifting prism, light just gets deflected at odd angles and creates strange patterns. Fortunately, the coffee kept me awake long enough so the couple of tunnel-vision people I talked today, got bored and went away, more time to write PocketC apps on my PalmPilot.
I don't know if I can get blinded by a research problem to the exclusivity of everything else, or perhaps I do and not notice. A human tendency of reducing something new to something we know, something we grasp?.
What was with that other strange shifty looking dude?, he basically kept asking me for a bunch of URLs where to download the Open Source stuff I use for my research, what MySQL was, what Apache was, what PHP was, what program did I use for some of my plots (Xmgr), and then telling me how important my research is to his w/o having asked anything or read about my research, that was strange. Now that I try to remember, I don't think he mentioned what he did, and also seems like he's never heard of Open Source before, or of search engines. Not sure if he was very lazy or just clueless.
Sleep, finally. Tomorrow, another day full of talks from 8:00am-9:30pm. Hopefully no more weird conversations. Fortune cookie at lunch "Your will have a lot of excitement in the near future"...

2007 Offended Or Upset About Hot Coffee? Make $35!
GTA: San Andreas - Rockstar/Take2 News | @ 03:54 PM MDT | By Slim Trashman
Take 2 has just recently posted a new press release concerning the Hot Coffee mod and a "preliminary settlement of consumer class action".
Under the terms of the settlement, class members will be able to claim benefits if they swear that they: (a) bought a copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas before July 20, 2005; (b) were offended and upset by the ability of consumers to modify and alter the game's content using the third-party Hot Coffee modification; (c ) would not have bought the game had they known that consumers could modify and alter the game's content using the third-party Hot Coffee modification; and (d) would have returned the game, upon learning the game could be modified and altered, if they thought this possible. Settlement class members who attest to these facts may apply for benefits that range from an exchange of the game disk for an edited copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to a cash payment of up to $35 for consumers who submit detailed proofs of purchase.
Well we would hope that none of the fans would cheat Rockstar out of their money. This is typically for soccer moms, with the exception of Jack Thompson of course.
You can check out the whole release here: Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Announces Preliminary Settlement of Consumer Class Action

http://hnn.us/articles/366.html. Until 1967, wiretapping was not considered to fall under Constitutional prohibitions unless wiretaps were installed as part of a B&E operation. It was only made illegal at the Federal level in 1933 but Presidents from Roosevelt through Nixon routinely interpreted the law as not impeding their ability to conduct wiretaps for national security purposes where the results of the wiretaps would not be used in prosecution. In response to Edgar Hoover's abuses, particularly directed against the civil rights movement, the Supreme Court reversed an earlier decision from the 30's to broaden Constitutional protections against wire taps. After the obvious abuses by the Nixon administration,
Federal laws were made much more restrictive as well. The Clinton administration sought to broaden its ability to use wire taps for national security but was rebuffed by Congress. Bush chose simply to ignore the laws restricting wiretaps on the theory that they unduly interfered with the President's powers to conduct war. The limits of these claimed presidential powers have not been tested fully in court in part because Congress has acted to broaden the powers of the President in ways to make the issue moot.
It will be interesting to see how this issue evolves over time. Personally, I do not trust government whether I voted for the current President or not and hope that governmental powers are always interpreted restrictively.
Jeff Goodwin
Wasn't this about Chrysler ????? We have 200 non productive threads about water boarding and wiretaps. Cant wait to hear what Nancy new and when they start or wire taps I am sure she will be the first to condemn until the memo comes out.
I guess its just like Sat. nite live is back on Bush and Cheney.

2) When setting up or reloading is it necessary to not let your dog see you do this, or is it ok to let them watch? (For Example: Have the dog sitting at the line as you walk out and reload)
3) Any tricks or tips to make setting up easier or quicker?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Since the pancreas is hidden behind other organs, treatment requires accuracy and precision. With interventional radiology, our doctors can visualize tumors in the pancreas and perform real-time image-guided interventional procedures.
We can deliver treatment directly to pancreatic tumors, take biopsies, provide palliative treatment, and monitor your response to treatment. NanoKnife, a minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure, is a promising option for some pancreatic cancer patients with a tumor that is considered inoperable.
In some cases, pancreatic cancer becomes advanced and metastasizes (spreads) to the liver. Our Interventional Radiology Program offers advanced treatments and procedures which are liver-directed or tumor-directed, including the following:
TheraSphere: This innovative treatment uses tiny beads called microspheres to deliver radiation directly to tumors in the liver. Measuring one-third the diameter of a human hair, the tiny microspheres are embedded with a radioactive element to help kill cancer cells.
The radiation therapy is delivered to a tumor through a catheter a physician guides into the hepatic artery, the liver's main blood vessel. Once in place, the microspheres are inserted into the catheter, where they can enter the smaller blood vessels supplying the liver tumor and block the flow of blood. Then, the microspheres emit radiation to destroy cancer cells in the tumor, while sparing healthy liver tissue.
Chemoembolization: With this treatment, chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to a liver tumor. This delivery method minimizes side effects, like nausea and vomiting, and maximizes the cancer-killing properties of the drugs.
During the procedure, chemotherapy is injected through a catheter directly into a liver tumor using image guidance. The chemotherapy drugs are mixed with microspheres, which block the flow of blood to the tumor. Without a blood supply, the tumor no longer has the oxygen and nutrients it needs to grow.
Chemoembolization allows high doses of chemotherapy drugs to be targeted directly to the cancerous portion of the liver for a longer period of time, without exposing the entire body to the effect of the drugs.
Interventional radiology is a medical specialty in which its trained physicians perform minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various diseases. Interventional radiologists are trained to use image-guided technology such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to place a catheter inside the body and treat patients non-surgically. As an alternative to open surgery, interventional radiology procedures may reduce risk, pain and recovery time for patients.
Several interventional radiology procedures can be used to treat cancer patients. For example, transarterial chemoembolization can cut off the blood supply to a tumor, while radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) damage the cancerous tissue itself.
Our interventional radiology team provides minimally-invasive treatments, performs procedures to manage pain and complications, performs biopsies, and alleviates a variety of symptoms that can occur during cancer treatment.
Interventional radiology can be used in the management of metastatic disease from cancers such as colorectal, breast, gallbladder, pancreas, lung, esophageal, stomach, melanoma and sarcomas. In these cases, we can perform Yttrium-90 radioembolization and chemoembolization for liver metastases. We can also perform ablation for isolated metastases to the liver, lung, adrenal gland, bone, kidney and other soft tissues.
Our priority is to treat you with the most appropriate, least invasive treatments available for your cancer type. Below are some of the most common interventional radiology procedures we perform. Most procedures are done on an outpatient basis or during a short hospital stay.
Interventional radiology procedures reduce side effects typically associated with traditional cancer treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. But side effects, such as fatigue and pain, may occur. Our integrative oncology services can help you manage any side effects that you experience during treatment. We offer nutrition therapy, naturopathic medicine, pain management, oncology rehabilitation, mind-body medicine, spiritual support and other services.

Child Abductor Strike Again, Twice
May 8, 2014
By Stephen Hadland
Observer Publisher
While Culver City Police cannot confirm the suspect is the same man who attempted to kidnap a Culver City Middle school girl last week all the signs point to the same individual. He struck again twice this week.
On Tuesday at 7:15pm, a 16 year old female was walking home from school in the area of Overland Ave. and Virginia Ave., a Male White/Hispanic Adult, short brown hair, and facial hair, driving a green four door vehicle, pulled alongside of her.
The suspect said, "Get in the car" twice, and continued to follow her as she walked away. Fearing for her safety, the student turned and ran back to school where she contacted her mother.
Another report came in from an anonymous caller who stated that on Monday at about 3:15p.m., a vehicle pulled alongside of her at Sepulveda Bl. and Machado Rd. She immediately fled the area, and there was no contact between her and the driver of the vehicle. It is unclear if these two incidents are related.
In a related incident last Tuesday a girl was walking near Culver City Middle School on Farragut Dr. east of Overland Ave. when green Ford Taurus pulled up to her, and the driver asked the girl for her name. He then leaned over, opened the passenger side door, and told her to get into the vehicle. Fearing for her safety, the girl ran west toward Overland Ave., and then reported the incident to an employee at the Culver City Teen Center.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ed Baskaron at (310) 253-6202.

Do you know if all their dogs that they don't keep for breeding themselves are spayed/neutered? I was approached by a different organization to donate a breeding, but they didn't require the dogs who "didn't make it" to be spayed or neutered, and I refuse to get involved in that.
I would seriously consider donating a breeding from my boy, do you have a specific person there I should contact? He has all health/DNA clearances, but is an ichthyosis carrier and I need to be sure they do the DNA testing for that.
Thanks for doing what you do.

The term "life sciences" gets thrown around a lot these days. It is even a big part of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce's Big 5. But what does it mean exactly? It is a concept that can be hard to understand, and sometimes quite complicated.
Life science is a multi-billion dollar industry in Kansas City, and it includes over 240 companies involved in the health of humans, animals and plants. One of these local life sciences organizations is the venerable Stowers Institute for Medical Research, which opened in 2000 with much fanfare on the site of the former Menorah Medical Center and was endowed with a jaw-dropping gift of $2 billion from the founder of American Century investments, Jim Stowers and his wife, Virginia.
Over the last decade, the Stowers Institute, located just off the Country Club Plaza, has attracted some of the world's finest medical researchers to Kansas City to analyze our society's most debilitating diseases and the keys to their causes. But after 13 years and such a large endowment, what kind of specific research and developments are actually taking place inside the Institute? Producer Pam James visits this center for life science research and discovery to show viewers what the Stowers Institute is all about.

Iron, a mineral, is an essential micronutrient that is in all cells of the human body and is known to have many vital functions. Inadequate intake and absorption of iron leads to depletion of iron stores and iron deficiency anemia. This may cause people to be pale, feel tired and weak, act cranky, get sick more easily, get infections, develop lead poisoning and headaches, eat poorly, and have trouble learning. A large percentage of American women do not meet the dietary recommendations for iron. Adequate iron intake through a varied diet of iron rich, bioavailable foods and / or iron supplementation significantly reduces iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (microcytic hypochromic anemia), in which the size and number of red blood cells are reduced. Information and educational materials that you can use with your clients can be found at Anemia Resources.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be consumed or created by the body given enough sun exposure. However, due to concerns about excessive sun exposure, it has been necessary to stress the importance of increasing dietary vitamin D. Lack of vitamin D can lead to brittle bones and rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Steps to ensure appropriate vitamin D supplementation should be provided in situations where there is a risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as lack of dietary vitamin D, restricted sunlight exposure, or dark skin. The California Department of Health Services endorses the AAP guidelines on vitamin D supplementation. For more information, see Vitamin D Resources.
Everyone requires the water-soluble B vitamin folate / folic acid, an essential micronutrient. Folate is required for DNA synthesis and cell division, red blood cell formation, some metabolic reactions involving lipids (fats) and amino acids (proteins), and it functions as a coenzyme. Women of childbearing age can improve birth outcomes and decrease the risk of birth defects by ensuring adequate folic acid intake. Because of the rapid maternal and fetal cell division and tissue growth of pregnancy, especially in the first months, there is an increase in folate requirements. As it is an essential factor to reduce the risk of serious birth defects during the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before the woman is aware of her pregnancy, it is recommended that women begin taking additional folic acid during her childbearing years, including prior to pregnancy and during pregnancy and lactation. This daily consumption of folic acid prior to pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) by 50-75%. Background information is avaiable here (PDF)and NTD Prevention with Folic Acid: Helping to Ensure a Healthier Future (PDF).
Educational material can be found at Folic Acid Resources. Trends in Folic Acid Supplement Intake among Women of Reproductive Age - California, 2002-2006, reports on folic acid supplement intake in California.
Infant feeding is the feeding of a child from birth to one year of age. "Normal" infant feeding is defined as breastfeeding for at least the first year of life and introduction of iron-rich complementary foods around 6 months of age. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that human breast milk is the optimal food for human infants. Normal Infant Feeding, 0-12 months, (PDF)provides guidelines for normal infant feeding.
Dental caries (tooth decay) is an infectious and transmissible disease that affects disproportionately racial and ethnic minorities in California. However, this condition is preventable. The Stop the Spread of Tooth Decay educational materials were developed for use as part of a comprehensive dental public health strategy to prevent tooth decay among mothers and their children. For more information on oral health, click here.
Strong evidence exists that obesity can begin to develop very early on in life, and that the prevention and control of obesity in women of childbearing age needs to be addressed. The nutritional well-being of a woman before conception, during pregnancy, post-partum, and during lactation affects her health and the health of her child. Maternal obesity affects a woman's health and pregnancy outcome, and threatens her child's health from the fetal period through adulthood. Maternal overweight may increase risks for overweight and obesity in their children. For more information, see Healthy Weight Among Women of Reproductive Age.
Adolescence is the only time following infancy when the rate of growth actually increases. This sudden growth spurt is associated with hormonal, cognitive, and emotional changes that make adolescence an especially vulnerable period of life nutritionally. First, there is a greater demand for calories and nutrients due to the dramatic increase in physical growth and development over a relatively short period of time. Second, adolescence is a time of changing lifestyle and food habit changes which affect both nutrient needs and intake. Studies have shown that nearly half of all adolescents are not physically active on a regular basis, and female adolescents are much less physically active than male adolescents. Physical inactivity and poor diet are risk factors for many of the same health conditions: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and others. Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines for Adolescents provides useful guidelines, assessments and tools for counseling Easy Meals and Snacks: A Healthy Cookbook for Teens can assist you in your counseling.
Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body, performs an essential role in bone and tooth formation, blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve transmission and in the regulation of energy metabolism. The intake of calcium from dietary or supplement sources and its absorption, retention and metabolism have critical consequences throughout the lifespan. To maintain positive calcium balance, adequate intake of bioavailable, naturally calcium-rich or fortified foods, calcium supplements or a combination of these is needed. The package of nutrients in dairy foods – calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, protein, and vitamin D – ensure optimal absorption and utilization by the body for bone health and other physiological processes. For more information see Calcium Resources.
The most critical periods of fetal development occur in the earliest weeks following conception, before many women even know they are pregnant. Since prenatal care usually begins at week 11 or 12, it is often too late to prevent a number of adverse maternal and infant health outcomes. In addition, because so many pregnancies are unplanned (41% among 18-44 year old women giving birth in California in 2005), women frequently conceive while in less than optimal health or while engaging in behaviors that can harm a pregnancy. A healthy pregnancy outcome is influenced by a woman's medical history and preconception health status. In the report, Preconception Health: Selected Measures, California, 2005 (PDF, 1.8MB),chapters 7, 10 and 11 address the needs of good nutrition before pregnancy. More information on folic acid is available folic acid is available here (PDF). Complimentary educational material can be found at Folic Acid Resources.

I was joking, relax.
I was joking, relax.
I like that you added Minnesota since they didn't get to the Super Bowl which lends credence to your 'Jets are elite' opinion. Minnesota hasn't been in the SB since 1976. Not elite.2009:
NO - 13-3 year, won the SB, went 24-8 in two years after. I'd agree they were elite.
Ind - 14-2 year, lost to NO in SB. Prior to that they hadn't won fewer than 10 games since 2001. Manning gets hurt, they get Luck. I'd agree they were elite.
Min - 12-4 year, lost in OT to NO in NFCCG. Prior to that they were above .500 four times in an eight year span. Haven't been to SB since 1976. Not elite.
NYJ - 9-7 year, lost to IND in AFCCG. Four playoff appearances in eight years prior. Haven't been to SB since 1969. Not elite.
GB - 10-6 year, beat PIT in SB. Made the playoffs the year prior and two seasons after. Has one of the best QBs in the game. They are elite.
Chi - 11-5 year, lost to GB in NFCCG. Hadn't made the playoffs since 2006 when they lost to IND in the SB and haven't made them since 2010. Not elite.
Pitt - 12-4 year, lost to GB in in SB. Won the SB in 2008. Have made the playoffs eight times since 2001. They are elite.
NYJ - 11-5 year, lost to PIT in AFCCG. Same reasons above.
NE - 14-2 year, lost to NYJ in Divisional Round. Have made the playoffs every year since 2001 except twice, going 9-7 in 2002 and 11-5 in 2008. Have been to the SB fives times in that span too. Also have double-digit wins in each of the last 9 seasons (since 03). They are elite.
Any reason you omitted Baltimore? They went 12-4 in 2010. They've made the playoffs in each of the last five seasons, all with Flacco at QB. Winning this year's SB puts them in the discussion.
---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------
Course not. You're that much better than I.Someone is overly sensitive today, you take many more shots at me than I take at you as I really don't ever take shots at you.
You asked me about individual seasons then in your breakdown discuss seasons before and after those particular seasons.
You need to stop w/ the nonsense, just focus on football.
You didn't respond to my post on the last page, so maybe you missed it. Here it is again:
Only 6 teams qualify for the playoffs in each conference. If winning 1 playoff game makes you elite, then you might as well say you are elite if you make the playoffs. You are final 6 in your conference. The Dolphins made the divisional round 3 straight years from 1998 to 2000. You really think they were elite? How can you use the same term for a team that got blown out in the divisional round as teams that got to, and won Super Bowls? Those are the elite teams. The other teams can be the better teams, but certainly not elite.
I think NE was in 2010 b/c they won 14 games, I think Atl as a 1 seed 2 of the last 3 seasons even though they have won just 1 playoff game has been, I also think Bal pre 2012 was elite based on making 2 title games from '08-'11.
This is why a lot of people don't like you. You're the one who made the homophobic comment yet I'm the one who needs to stop? What's wrong with you?You need to stop w/ the nonsense, just focus on football.
---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
I don't consider teams to be elite based on one season. To me it's a body of work. Were the Colts elite when they went from 2-14 to 10-6 and into the playoffs? Not to me. Dolphins either from 1-15 to 11-5 and into the playoffs (yes only to get killed by BAL).I had NE in 2010 b/c they went 14-2, 12-4 is a great record but 14-2 in on a completely different level. Bal didn't make a title game either year and never won 13-14 games so I din't have them in the elite group.
You asked me about individual seasons then in your breakdown discuss seasons before and after those particular seasons.
B) It was a JOKE, sorry you don't have a sense of humor.
you asked specifically on one particular season.
The '12 Colts got battered in the WC rd, same thing w/ the '08 Phins so no neither were elite. had they won 2 playoff games and made the title game they would have had elite seasons.

Gutsy Roosters outlast Sea Eagles
A CONTROVERSIAL 70th minute send-off of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has overshadowed the Sydney Roosters gutsy 16-4 defeat of the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval in front of 12,950 fans.
The win further emphasised the Roosters premiership credentials and was their first win at Brookvale in nine years.
Waerea-Hargreaves was given his marching orders by referee Matt Cecchin following a high tackle on Manly forward George Rose.
With the scoreline reading 8-4 at the time, the Roosters defence refused to buckle despite the Manly attack asking plenty of questions.
An absorbing first half, played at break neck speed yielded just the one try with defence dominating proceedings. Manly appeared to miss the spark of Brett Stewart while the Roosters defence repelled everything thrown at them.
The only try of the first half came after 11 minutes when Manly were pressing the Roosters goal-line. Daly Cherry-Evans took the ball at second receiver before firing a pass intended for Jamie Lyon. Unfortunately it missed the mark and winger David Williams had to try to reel it in but couldn't do so. Roosters centre Michael Jennings swooped on the loose ball and raced 90m to score untouched.
David Williams had an opportunity to score the Eagles first try after 28 minutes but Glenn Stewart's perfectly weighted kick into the in-goal was batted over the deadball line by Roosters winger Daniel Tupou.
The 6-0 scoreline would remain that way until James Maloney piloted a 32nd minute penalty goal to extend the visitor's lead out past a converted try.
Manly closed the gap to four points in the 46th minute when centre Steve Matai plucked a Daly Cherry-Evans cross-field kick out of the air to score 20m in from touch. It would prove to be the only points scored by the home side despite having most of the possession in the final 10 minutes after the Waerea-Hargreaves send-off.
Roosters hooker Jake Friend sealed the win on the stroke of fulltime by scoring a scrappy try after Shaun Kenny-Dowall's kick ricocheted off the Manly defence as winger Jorge Taufua knocked on.
The win lifts the Roosters to second spot while Manly stay in fourth position.
The Bondi boys head to Townsville next Saturday night while Manly travel to Melbourne on Monday Night Football.

Greene is madly overrated on these boards lol.
Green was just barely in most top 100 lists that I saw. We have a definite depth problem at QB with Eli at 32 and Carr at 34. It's way past time to get a young QB on the roster for that day when Eli can't start. We've been spoiled by Eli's durability. That can all come crashing down very quickly, just ask Indy.
Fortunately JR runs the show and not the whiners on this board who wanted another special teams caliber LB.
Eli better watch out...

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
SHANNON – There are still three weeks left in the 2012-13 regular season of Mississippi high school basketball.
And after Friday, the Itawamba AHS Lady Indians can breathe a bit easier, because they put themselves in a position for a spot in the Class 4A North Mississippi tournament in February.
In a competitive and nervy matchup for second place in Division 1-4A, the Lady Indians survived the hustling Shannon Lady Raiders 40-35.
"Shannon is a very hard-playing team, and this was a big win for us," Itawamba head coach Amanda Morrow said. "It's huge for us to be able to hopefully get a bye in the division tournament, and qualify for the north half.
"But we still have four more division games, and a lot of business to take care of yet."
The Lady Raiders (11-4, 4-3) certainly seemed intent on staking its own claim on the No. 2 spot early.
Shannon closed the first quarter on a 5-0 run, capped by an Alexandrea Metcalf 3-pointer. Then Metcalf hit two more 3-pointers as part of a 10-0 spurt to open the second period to give the Lady Raiders a 23-10 lead.
But Itawamba (12-5, 5-1) did not panic, and Quay Dunn scored nine points, part of a 14-0 IAHS run, that put the visitors up 24-23 into the third quarter.
Shannon was still within three points into the final period, but a Haley Gates 3-pointer gave the Lady Indians enough breathing room down the stretch.
"This is a very competitive division, as competitive as any 5A or 6A," Shannon head coach Warren Jennings said. "We didn't play Lady Raiders basketball tonight."
Dunn led IAHS with 20 points, while Ashley Trice hit 11 for Shannon.
(B) Shannon 64, Itawamba AHS 41: It was a tightly played first half that featured last-second points in each period by Shannon freshman Rocquis Coleman, a half that Shannon only led 29-27 at the break.
Lakee Westbrook tallied 23 for Shannon (16-6, 5-2), with Coleman adding 14, and Cameron Shumpert paced IAHS with 10.
