Same-sex marriage [JURIST backgrounder] remains a controversial topic in California. In February, Judge Jeffrey White, also of the Northern District of California, made a similar ruling [text, PDF] when he found that DOMA is unconstitutional when used as a method to deny a lesbian federal employee insurance benefits for her spouse. In particular, White opined that DOMA "violates [the employee's] right to equal protection of the law under the Fifth Amendment to the [US] Constitution by, without substantial justification or rational basis, refusing to recognize her lawful marriage to prevent provision of health insurance coverage to her spouse." Also in February, proponents of Proposition 8 requested a new hearing [petition, PDF] before the full US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website]. The request came after a three-judge panel for the circuit voted 2-1 to overturn the voter-approved law [JURIST report], finding that it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [Cornell LII backgrounder].
This is a crucial time for human rights in the country. ... The difficulties Chad has faced for many years are severe but they are not insurmountable, the Government has a difficult task in improving the human rights situation in the country and my discussions during my visit have convinced me of their political will to do so. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stands ready to help in any way we can.
In February 2008 Amnesty International [advocacy website] accused the Chadian government [JURIST report] of using its declared state of emergency to clamp down on journalists and members of peaceful opposition parties. Chadian President Idriss Deby [BBC profile] had declared a state of emergency [JURIST report] a week earlier, citing increased violence between government forces and rebels in the capital city of N'Djamena. Earlier that month, then-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour urged the Chadian government and rebel forces to follow humanitarian law and respect human rights [JURIST report] as fighting continued for a fourth day after rebels entered the capital city of N'Djamena in an attempt to overthrow Deby. An estimated 20,000 civilians fled the capital [NYT report] as the violence escalated.
The legislation was first proposed [JURIST report] at the end of March. Bouterse's trial has been ongoing since 2008. In April 2008, a military tribunal in Suriname ruled [JURIST report] that all suspects involved in a 1982 massacre must stand trial, including Bouterse. Bouterse's trial began [JURIST report] in July 2008 with former bodyguard Onno Flohr testifying that Bouterse was present at the killings of 15 political opponents, including lawyers, journalists, professors, military officers and businessmen, accused of plotting against the government and that the other members of the firing squad were ordered to fire under the threat of death. In 2009, the trial of the former dictator resumed [JURIST report] with testimony by a former prison warden that he brought a leader of a 1982 military coup to an army barracks for execution.
The decision to allow the construction of dams in Patagonia has been a controversial one. In June 2011, a Chilean appeals court ordered the temporary suspension [JURIST report] of the USD $10 billion HidroAysen project, approving three petitions challenging government authorization of the dam construction and granted the plaintiffs' petition for injunction. The court lifted the temporary suspension [Reuters report] in October 2011 allowing work on the project to move forward and spurring a constitutional challenge by environmentalists.
After Saif al-Islam's arrest in November, Libyan leader Prime Minister Abdurrahim al-Keib vowed that he would receive a fair trial [JURIST reports]. ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said in October that he has evidence against Saif al-Islam [JURIST report] for his role in planning attacks on Libyan civilians. Ocampo says that there is "substantial evidence" that Saif al-Islam hired mercenaries to assist him in carrying out plans to attack demonstrators that protested the rule of his father. In February JURIST Guest Columnist D Wes Rist of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law discussed the confusion [JURIST op-ed] surrounding Saif al-Islam's prosecution, noting that, "[a]ny attempt extend the reach of the ICC into areas it was not created to address runs the risk of weakening the overall authority of the Court and the willingness of member states to comply with ICC orders."
Connecticut has executed only one person since the federal moratorium on executions lapsed in 1981. If the bill is signed into law, Connecticut will become the fifth state in the past five years to abolish the death penalty. New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Illinois [JURIST reports] have all recently eliminated the death penalty, while 34 states retain its use. The death penalty remains a controversial issue worldwide. According to an Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] report [text, PDF], the number of countries using the death penalty dropped in 2009 [JURIST report], but more than 700 people were executed in 18 countries, with the most executions carried out in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the US.
Debate over the law has been ongoing since Congress passed [JURIST report] comprehensive health care reform in March 2010. The US Supreme Court [official website] heard oral arguments in the case of United States Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida over the course of an unprecedented three days last month. On day one of oral arguments [JURIST report], the court heard arguments on the issue of whether the PPACA is is barred by the Anti-Injunction Act of 1867 (AIA) [text]. On day two [JURIST report], the court heard arguments focused specifically on the constitutionality of the "individual mandate" provision [text], which requires every person, with some exceptions for religious and other reasons, to purchase some form of health insurance by January 1, 2014, or be subject to a penalty. On the final day [JURIST report], the court heard arguments on the issue of whether the "individual mandate" can be severed from the rest of the PPACA. The Supreme Court agreed to rule on [JURIST report] the health care law case in November of last year on appeal from US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website], which ruled in August that the individual mandate is unconstitutional but severable [JURIST report], upholding the rest of the law.
Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has been an ongoing issue in many countries. Last month the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] urged member states to put an end to sexual orientation-based violence [JURIST report] and discrimination. In a video address, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official website] acknowledged that sexual orientation and gender identity are sensitive subjects, but said action needs to be taken because lives are at stake. The Russian lower house of Parliament began consideration of a controversial bill last month that bans the spread of "homosexual propaganda" to minors [JURIST report]. The bill calls for fines of up to 500,000 rubles (USD $16,500) for promoting the homosexual lifestyle and appears to be aimed at media outlets which lawmakers blame for "promoting gay lifestyles as 'normal behavior.'" The UN has attempted to pass resolutions aimed at ending sexuality discrimination worldwide but has faced difficulty passing resolutions on gay rights issues. Last year the UNHRC passed the "Human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity" resolution [text, PDF], which is the first resolution to call for an end to sexuality discrimination worldwide [JURIST report]. In 2010 Ban called for countries around the world to abolish laws discriminating against gay and lesbian individuals [JURIST report]. A year earlier, the UN passed a gay rights declaration [JURIST report] calling on states to end criminalization and persecution of homosexuals. This declaration was recalled by the new resolution.
The Department's position is that the most common way for dealing with this situation would be for the court to take the case en banc so it can address the heightened scrutiny analysis on the merits. ... [b]ut the judgment that the President and the Attorney General have made is that heightened scrutiny is the appropriate standard precisely because rational basis would permit and arguably even require the court to disregard the facts of what actually happened, of what actually motivated the statute, and the reality of the history of discrimination against this particular group.
The DOJ is appealing rulings by Judge Joseph Tauro of the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts in two separate cases, one brought by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and another by an advocacy group representing married LGBT citizens [JURIST reports]. Judge Joseph Tauro ruled in both cases that DOMA's definition of marriage as between a man and a woman is unconstitutional because it interferes with the states' right to define marriage [JURIST report]. The Obama administration last month petitioned the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] for an expedited en banc review [JURIST report] of two test cases on the constitutionality of DOMA.
At this time, the Defense cannot find a single portion of the Prosecution Pre-Trial Brief that is not subject to dispute with the Defense. The manner of presentation of material in the Prosecution Pre-Trial Brief takes matters out of context, misrepresents them, misinterprets them, and generally alters or interprets them in such a way that the Defense cannot agree or adopt any without compromising the presumption of innocence or the right of the Accused to a fair trial. The Defense rejects all charges as unfounded and will put the Prosecution to their burden in proving the case set out in the allegations. Mr. Mladic contests the truth and veracity of all factual assertions made by the Prosecution and any conclusions derived therefrom. ... [T]he Defense takes note for the record its understanding that it is under no legal obligation to enter agreements with the Prosecution to reduce the time and scope of trial to the detriment of its own client. Mr. Mladic is entitled to have trial on the time honored principle that the Prosecution is the party with the burden and obligation to prove the entirety of its case beyond any reasonable doubt on its own.
In February, Mladic accused the tribunal of bias and sought to delay his trial [JURIST reports] once again. A three-judge panel for the ICTY accepted a request brought by prosecutors to reduce the number of crimes [JURIST report] they intend to prove against Mladic from 196 to 106 in December, in an effort to accelerate the proceedings. The ICTY prosecutor refused to seek further appeal [JURIST report] of the tribunal's refusal to split Mladic's trial into separate actions: one for his conduct during the Srebrenica massacre, where approximately 8,000 people were killed, and one for all of his other charges during the Bosnian civil war [JURIST news archive]. ICTY prosecutors had hoped splitting the trial would enable them to convict Mladic of some charges before his death, as he is reportedly of ill health [JURIST report]. Serbian authorities arrested Mladic after a 16-year search [JURIST report] in May of last year.

Risk based returns suck with asset prices propped by the money press. Anemic global growth that cannot significantly reduce the huge debt load. Unless you trade nimbly, the only way is to keep liquid with investments in real assets that you draw down to pay for necessities or reduce debts.
FURTHER to the last post on the expected returns from a 60/40 equity bond US portfolio, Chris Brightman of Research Affiliates has produced this interesting table on the past returns
Note the benefits of diversification as shown by the smoothness of the nominal returns; there are no negative decades. Over the entire period, a 60/40 mix has returned 7.6% nominal or 5.4% real. There were only two decades of negative real returns for equities - the 1910s and the 2000s. In the latter decade, diversified investors were cushioned by their substantial gains on their bond portfolios. The former decade was marked by the First World War and unexpected inflation and so was dismal all around. Diversification didn't work in the 1970s either when the second worst real return for bonds was accompanied by the third worst decade for shares; again inflation was the culprit.
Here is the rub. If the way of getting out of the debt trap is for central banks to tolerate higher inflation (and that does seem to be the direction in which we are heading) it seems likely that the returns for diversified investors will be poor. While equities offer a better hedge against inflation than bonds, they are still not a good one; investors will want a higher dividend yield at 5% inflation than they do at 2% inflation. Other things being equal, a shift in the yield from 2% to 4% means a halving in share prices. So although dividends might rise in nominal terms, the market will have to run hard to stay in the same place.
One more thing to note. In nominal terms, the 1980s and 1990s were the two best decades for the 60/40 split, both almost double the historic average. They were followed by the third worst decade. But reversion to the mean may not be over if the AQR chart is correct.

More than 1,200 people attended the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee initiated Democratic Agenda Conference held November 16-18, 1979, at the International Inn and Metropolitan AM Church in Washington 1 DC. The conference focused on "corporate power'; as the key barrier to "economic and political democracy," concepts many Democratic Agenda participants defined as "socialism.'
The Democratic Agenda meetings attempted to develop anti-corporate alternatives" through influencing the direction of the Democratic Party during the period leading to the July 1980 Democratic National Convention in New York.
Workshops included "Corporate Pricing, Inflation and the Economy" - Deborah Meier, moderator; Leon Keyserling, Gar Alperovitz .[3]

Online University of the Left
The Online University of the Left, a new `Left Unity' project, was initiated by the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism in 2012.

About 50 left academics are involved in the core group so far-Richard Wolff, David Schweickart, Rose Brewer, Timothy Johnson, Gregory Morales, Bill Tabb, Ellen Schwartz, Jerry Harris, Linda Alcoff, Dana Cloud, Gar Alperovitz, to name a few.
One of the OUL's key aims is to solve this problem of scattered resources, creating a web portal that will bring much of this valuable material together in one spot in cyberspace.

Obama backs Planned Parenthood in political fight
President Obama vowed Friday to join Planned Parenthood in fighting against what he said were efforts across the country to turn women's health back to the 1950s.By: Associated Press report, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Obama vowed Friday to join Planned Parenthood in fighting against what he said were efforts across the country to turn women's health back to the 1950s.
Obama's comments were the first by a sitting president before the abortion-rights group. He lauded its nearly 100 years of service to women, providing cancer screenings, contraceptives and other health services.
"When politicians try to turn Planned Parenthood into a punching bag, they're not just talking about you," he said. "They're talking about the millions of women who you serve."
Obama asserted that "an assault on women's rights" is under way across the country, with bills being introduced in nearly every state legislature to limit or ban abortion or restrict access to birth control.
"The fact is, after decades of progress, there's still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century," Obama said. "And they've been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women's health."
Obama said he fought for his health care law to ensure individuals have the right to make their own medical choices. He's asking medical providers and abortion rights supporters to "get the word out" about the law's benefits.
He encouraged those gathered to continue fighting for abortion rights. "You've also got a president who is going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way," Obama said.

Making it official
March 22, 2010
Just a quick note in the hopes that typing it out will make my mind
stop and my stomach settle: We're having our first consultation with a
mediator on Wednesday night. I'd left all the arrangements to my
husband (this was certainly not going to be something that I
facilitated), and it took him nearly three months to follow through. I
knew, I KNOW, it was just procrastination nothing more. And yet when he
told me about the appointment, I had to sit down. I really thought I
had let go of my last drops of hope. In fact, I'd counted on it. Damn.

Same, Same, but Different
Jess here, an American who has just started a year of travel around the world learning about the different wool traditions in different places.
I grew up on a small sheep farm in rural NH, and like any daughter of a knitter, my barbies had on hand knit sweaters. They weren't traditional Lopi sweaters though! The one on the picture belongs to a little Icelandic girl who's mother just happens to be a knitter.
When I got here, I was amazed that everyone seems to wear the traditional sweaters- locals, tourists, young people, older people, everyone. It is like eye-candy walking down the street and seeing all the knits! Having never knit with unspun yarn before, I have much to learn and new projects to discover. Before I get there, I have to get working on my current project, an Elizabeth Zimmerman Pi Shawl using fiber from all of the different places I am traveling to. I have to get cracking though- haven't started my Icelandic bands yet! More soon, Jess.

Look what I found in the backyard and it's an original! Totally forgot about this coffee jug (DH brought it home from hunting). Maybe it is a bit to rugged looking for the LR? But I like your idea.
mine is in the house, I water plants with it.
If I'm not mistaken coffee pots like that are worth alot of money! Maybe you'd better find out a little more about them before they rust to oblivion out there. They do look really nice however.
I have the same one....do you have a lid? I don't. I found mine years ago where an old loggers camp used to be, also found all kinds of old jars and bottles there.

Shots - Health News Lawmakers Clash With FDA Over Meningitis Outbreak November 14, 2012 Members of a House committee demanded to know why the Food and Drug Administration let the pharmacy that sold tainted drugs continue shipping them after sending a warning letter about problems in 2006.

Shots - Health News Despite Antifungal Treatment, More Woes For Some Meningitis Patients November 3, 2012 Two new types of fungal infection are emerging among people exposed to contaminated medication from a Massachusetts pharmacy. One involves abscesses around the spine. The other is inflammation of tissue around the nerve roots coming out of the spine.
Shots - Health News FDA Says Massachusetts Pharmacy Knew Of Sterility Problems For Months October 26, 2012 FDA officials say the New England Compounding Center's own environmental monitoring showed multiple instances of contamination going back nearly nine months before an outbreak of meningitis linked to one the company's drugs. The company's knowledge of contamination problems and its failure to act are among the most damning findings to come out investigations of the pharmacy.
Shots - Health News Meningitis From Tainted Drugs Puts Patients, Doctors In Quandary October 24, 2012 Public health officials are trying to strike a balance between alerting, diagnosing and treating patients who might be at risk of fungal infections — and not overdiagnosing and overtreating those who aren't at risk. The caution is warranted. This type of infection can smolder for weeks before exploding into meningitis or causing massive strokes. Listen Loading… 5:12 Download Playlist
Shots - Health News CDC: Meningitis Mold In Tainted Drug Can Incubate For Months October 20, 2012 The mold is so rare as a cause of human illness that nobody knows its incubation period. That makes it hard to predict when the outbreak will be over.
The Two-Way Federal Investigators Search Pharmacy Linked To Meningitis Outbreak October 16, 2012 The probe into how patients who were given steroid shots apparently contracted meningitis now includes criminal investigators. At least 15 deaths have been linked to the outbreak.

Botulinum Toxin Physiology in Focal Hand and Cranial Dystonia

Abstract: The safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin for the treatment of focal hand and cranial dystonias are well-established. Studies of these adult-onset focal dystonias reveal both shared features, such as the dystonic phenotype of muscle hyperactivity and overflow muscle contraction and divergent features, such as task specificity in focal hand dystonia which is not a common feature of cranial dystonia. The physiologic effects of botulinum toxin in these 2 disorders also show both similarities and differences. This paper compares and contrasts the physiology of focal hand and cranial dystonias and of botulinum toxin in the management of these disorders.

Millions of dollars are being invested in northern Wood County, where several companies are working on plant and distribution center expansions.
Construction is already underway, and by the end of the year, two companies will have brand new facilities up and running. There will soon be a new Fed-Ex freight distribution center in Northwood, and a Caphalon in Middleton Township.
Wood County Economic Development Director Wade Gottschalk says he's not surprised companies continue to choose that area for development.
"We have a very business-friendly atmosphere from all levels of the political spectrum," Gottschalk said. "We also have great transportational and locational assets: I-75, I-80 and 90."
Between the two companies, nearly 100 new jobs could be created, and even more retained.
Michael Saleh is the manager at Moody's Coney Island, which is located right by the Fed-Ex center that's being built. He says he's glad the other companies chose his area to expand, and the number of people stopping in for lunch just keeps growing.
"Right next door we've got a pizza place and a Chinese restaurant," Saleh said. "Before, these places were vacant and we had no other restaurants, besides us, in this complex for a few years, and it's really helped expand that."

September Brother - redux
Hello dear Berries!
I hit name overload and have been away for a while, but I'm glad to be back.
Our September Sibling turns out to be our first boy! He arrived on the 6th and now he needs a name.
We are torn between:
Elias -- Eli
Elwin -- Win, or possibly Eli
Peregrine -- Perrin or Penn
With Caspian -- Ian, waiting in the wings.
Honorable mentions (aka those declined by Papa) include Emrys/Ambrose, Anslem, Rune, Tove, Eamon, Merit and Asa.
We will mostly likely use Willian or Crossman after baby's paternal G Grandfather; Papa is leaning towards William. But, in a vacuum I would likely name him Peregrine Emrys.
We would like to continue our tradition of including one saint, and one literary reference.
Big sisters are Cor@ Adel@ide and Ve$per Irene. Last name sounds like Owlett.
We're so torn that we would love to hear any input your clever minds have. We are open to suggestions, as always. <3Mama to Belle & Pip
Wife, mother, farmer, friend and doula.

Testimonials |
"As Chairman of the region's leading international association of hotel owners, HOFTEL, I really want to see conferences that have content which is new and relevant to the hospitality investment community, as well as giving owners the chance to express their opinions. Last year's Tourism Destination Investment Conference, while not the largest in Asia, fulfilled those needs and I'm sure the upcoming IHIF Asia will be just as rewarding." |
-Simon Allison, Chairman, HOFTEL |
"APHIC is an amazingly efficient way to meet business leaders from across the hotel industry, and to enter discussion with key decision makers with interests in the Asian hotel market." |
-Robert McIntosh, Executive Director, CBRE Hotels, Asia Pacific |
"I found the conference to be very good - well organised, and the discussions amongst participants very useful. It was clear that most were able to conduct business while there." |
-Jyoti Sachavirawong, Deputy Director, British Chamber of Commerce Thailand |
See you in Bangkok!

She also forged documents to make it appear that one caregiver who lacked a valid drivers license was legally allowed to drive.
She did that after learning about a state Department of Health and Human Resources' Medicaid Fraud Control Unit investigation into Golden Heart's transportation hours and mileage expenses. Those expenses had been claimed under the Aged and Disabled Waiver program.
She gave those falsified documents to the investigator, hoping she could prevent the fraud unit from finding out about the reimbursements.
"The Court recognized that entitlement programs are a significant portion of the federal budget, funded by taxpayers," the release said. "The Court also noted that health care fraud is one of the reasons the country is in financial trouble and today's sentencing must serve as a deterrent to others who attempt to defraud entitlement programs.
"The Court further acknowledged that the government is not only justified but required to aggressively pursue such fraud, as they have done here."
The three civil cases that the U.S. Attorney's Office filed against Jamie and Golden Heart to recover Medicaid's losses were settled in October. The settlement resolved all three civil actions by recovering all of Jamie and Golden Heart's known assets, the statement said. The money from the settlement will be used to make restitution to Medicaid.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, FBI, State Police and the state DHHR's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meredith George Thomas, Philip Wright and Eumi Choi handled prosecution.

Craig Bellamy has been banned from Manchester City as speculation mounts that the Welsh forward is on the verge of a sensational move to Cardiff City.
Bellamy is now training with his hometown club, and both he and the Bluebirds have expressed their desire to manufacture a loan deal.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has ordered Bellamy to stay away from the City training ground, citing the forward as "disruptive" and "unprofessional".
Bellamy is a player who has attracted controversy throughout his career, but the final straw seems to be the forward's outspoken criticism of Mancini's decision not to include him in City's 25-man Premier League squad.
Following their 2-1 win at Derby, Cardiff are now 12/1 to clinch the Championship title this season, and signing a player of Bellamy's calibre would be the biggest transfer coup in the club's history.
The main stumbling block for a potential move to Cardiff, however, will be the player's £95,000-a-week salary.
There is no way the Championship club could afford such an astronomical figure, and Bellamy's current employers City are unwilling to keep paying his wages.
City would rather sell Bellamy on a permanent basis, with Fulham, Tottenham and Celtic all expressing their interest in signing the former Liverpool and West Ham marksman.
Mancini would be reluctant let Bellamy join City's rivals for a Champions League spot, Tottenham. Instead, the Italian would favour a reunion between Bellamy and Fulham manager Mark Hughes, with whom the 31-year-old worked at Manchester City, Blackburn and Wales.

Labdanum Absolute
- Botanical Name: Cistus ladaniferus
- Origin: Spain
- Process: Solvent Extracted Absolute
- Plant Part: Oleoresin
- Cultivation: Wild Grown
- Use: Natural Perfumery
- Note: Base Note
- Aroma: Full-bodied, warm, amber-like aroma with sweet, slightly smoky undertones. Adds richness and depth to natural perfumes.
- Certificate of Analysis
Labdanum Absolute
Labdanum is also known as the Rose of Sharon and is mentioned in the Bible. An essential oil of this plant is also produced. It is typically called Cistus essential oil. Its aroma is very different from Labdanum and has less of the amber-like aroma. If you want to use Cistus for aromatherapy purposes be sure to purchase steam distilled Cistus essential oil and not Labdanum.
The first step in making Labdanum Absolute is the collection of Labdanum Gum from the wild growing cistus (rock rose) plants. From the Labdanum Gum a variety of other Labdanum products are made. The most important for use in natural perfumery is Labdanum Absolute. Labdanum Absolute is refined from Labdanum Gum in a process that requires two or more steps. First an extraction is made using a solvent such as hexane or heptane. Next the Labdanam Absolute is extracted from the concrete using alcohol. Labdanum Absolutes can vary dramatically depending on how they are extracted and which solvents are used during the refinement process.
Physical Appearance: Very thick and sticky resinous substance that is solid at room temperature and requires special use instructions to blend. For a pre-blended and easy to use dilution of this oil, see our Labdanum Absolute, Clear - 10%
Safety Considerations: Avoid use with small children, elders, epileptics, pregnant and/or nursing women.
Customer Reviews
- Luscious Amber Review by Gingervamp
This is the smell I was looking for! Over the last year I have worked my way through the resin family, and this is luscious delicious sweet and sexy resin! This makes everything I own smell sexy and mysterious.
I was surprised how easy Eden's amber is to work with compared to some others that smell just as good. It was easier to blend with. The clear one from Eden also smells great and is the easiest Labdanum I've even run into to work with. If you are looking for absolute ease of use go with the clear, but I love the color and slight stickyness of this oil. It reminds me of those amber resins from New Age stores I used to huff as a child. (Posted on 4/30/13)

The Huron big guys ripped the basketball and a win right out of Aberdeen Central's hands.
With ankle injuries to starting center Carter Paulson and one of the top reserves Logan LeGrand, the Golden Eagles were short-handed and outmuscled. Huron defeated Aberdeen Central 58-31 on Tuesday in an Eastern South Dakota Conference high school boys' basketball game at Golden Eagles Arena. Huron improved to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the ESD. Central dropped to 0-4 overall and 0-3 in league play.
"We weren't very strong," said Central boys' coach Brent Norberg. "When you're giving up both size and strength, you have to scrap a little bit and we didn't really do that consistently."
Central only trailed 11-8 with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, but the Golden Eagles were outscored 20-4 the rest of the way to halftime. The Tigers scored 11 straight points in the final 2 minutes before halftime. Reserve player Caleb Carr accounted for six straight points in the run.
"If we can take advantage of our inside game (Justin Decker and Adam Zwanziger), I think we're going to be pretty good," said Huron coach Tim Buddenhagen. "When you start double teaming them, then we have to start making shots. We've been able to do that at times. As our inside-out game progresses, hopefully we can build that relationship with our inside guys. Then, we'll get better and better.
Buddenhagen also credited the rebounding ability of his guards. The Tigers outrebounded the Golden Eagles 35-22.
"I thought the difference with our inside game was when we got the rebounds. Our guards do a nice job at five-11 and five-10 of rebounding. When the ball went off the rim, we were there. That's a huge advantage for us. Everybody looks at our big guys and wants to double team them. That leaves our guards to get aggressive on the boards," said Buddenhagen.
Central starters Braden LeGrand and Josh Hilgemann were saddled with foul trouble for much of the game.
"Josh and Braden getting two fouls in the first quarter really hurt us. Then, we had to get even younger than we wanted to get," said Norberg.
At times Aberdeen was playing with two senior starters and three sophomore reserves.
The Tigers outscored the home team 23-19 for the win. Carr finished with a team and game high of 22 points to go along with five rebounds.
"Caleb was something special tonight (Tuesday) and he played possessed," said Buddenhagen. "That's what we saw this summer. If he plays like this, we're going to be really, really good."
Decker chipped in with 19 points and Zwanziger added nine rebounds.
No Central player reached double figures in scoring. Brady Mohr was the leader with seven points as the Golden Eagles misfired on all 12 of their three-point tries. The Aberdeen bench players scored nine points.
"They (reserves) are still developing and we're trying different match ups," said Norberg. "That was tough. We really needed our seniors to step up tonight and we got some tough breaks."
Aberdeen Central will host Yankton on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at Golden Eagles Arena. This marked Huron's last game before the holiday break. The Tigers will host Yankton in an ESD clash on Jan. 4.

MirrorBrain is a framework to run a content delivery network using mirror servers. It solves a challenge that many popular open source projects face: a flood of download requests, often magnitudes more than a single site could practically handle. A central (and probably the most obvious) part is a "download redirector" that automatically redirects requests from Web browsers or download programs to a mirror server near them. Choosing a suitable mirror for a user's request is the key, and MirrorBrain uses geolocation and global routing data to make a sensible choice and achieve load-balancing for the mirrors at the same time. The algorithm is both sophisticated and easy to control and tune. In addition, MirrorBrain monitors mirrors, scans them for files, generates mirror lists, and more.
