With the regular season coming to a close, Brian Middleton is looking for his varsity squad to finish out strong. After winning two straight district games on Tuesday against Winston and a tough 54-52 win against Manchester in Yazoo City, the Raiders failed to bring the same energy and focus on Saturday against regional rival Starkville Academy, falling 56-37 in the contest
Coming into Friday night's game, the Raiders knew what they were up against: a dangerous team hoping to knock off a top tier district team in front of their home fans. Historically, Oak Hill has never played up to their capabilities in the Mavericks' gym, but the home team always plays with incredible energy. The tone of the game was set in the first period of play. The Mavericks were able to win the first quarter 17-16, an ominous sign for Oak Hill that this would be no easy game. The second quarter was dead even, with neither team pulling off a run before going into halftime with a 28-27 contest favoring Manchester. The third quarter was much of the same, another 11-11 quarter to keep the game tight heading into the final quarter of play. The Raiders had many chances to put the game away from the line in the third, but they failed to convert, shooting 21-35 from the charity stripe on the night. However, foul trouble took its toll on the Mavericks as three players fouled out in the final two minutes, including their leading scorer Josh Peaster, who finished with 16 points. After a miserable shooting performance as a team from the free-throw line, Drake Riley made three key free throws down the stretch to bring the lead to five with four seconds left. Manchester drilled a three with one second to go and no timeouts left. All there was left to do for the Raiders was get the ball inbounds. John Wesley Williamson broke away and caught the pass streaking down the court to secure the victory to bring their district record to 5-3, with dreams of grabbing the second seed in the tournament still intact.
John Wesley Williamson led the Raiders in scoring with 17 points, followed by Riley Pierce with 11. Matthew Gwathney provided a big spark with seven points and team-high 11 rebounds. Drake Riley and Jeb Stevens added six points each. Curt Huffman and Drew Riley finished with four and three points, respectively.
Exhausted from the long road trip, the Raiders were not able to withstand the athleticism and fast-paced offense of Starkville Academy beyond the tight 15-14 first quarter. Early foul trouble put starters Curt Huffman and Riley Pierce, who had nine in the first quarter, out of first half play. Starkville seized the opportunity and pressed the Raiders while their two best ball handlers were out of the game. While Oak Hill only committed 13 turnovers in the game, the team was unable to develop any sort of rhythm on offense due to the lack of fluid ball movement provided by the two point guards, while the Volunteers had no trouble driving the lane and finishing easy shots to stretch the lead out 35-20. The third quarter held no surge or spark for the Raiders as Starkville furthered their advantage with a 14-9 quarter. The fourth quarter was played out in front of a silent crowd as the Volunteers took home the season sweep in the rivalry.
Riley Pierce and Chance Wilson led Oak Hill in scoring with nine points a piece. Curt Huffman added seven for the game. Jeb Stevens and Drew Riley finished with five and four points, respectively, while John Wesley Williamson added two. Matthew Gwathney finished with one point. The Raiders have played five straight games without their leading scorer J.J. Bridges and senior guard Conner Baird and are now 14-10 on the year.

Guest blog by Louise Murray, DVM DACVIM, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital and author of "Vet Confidential: An Insider's Guide to Protecting Your Pet's Health"
Diabetes is a real problem for cats in this country, but the good news is that we now have a much better understanding of this condition, and even better, we can cure it in many cases. Best of all, we are learning how to prevent it, which is the ideal strategy for a healthy, happy cat.
Cause: It's now believed that many cases of feline diabetes are caused by excess carbohydrates in the diet. Dry cat foods in particular can be high in carbohydrates. Cats are not designed to properly metabolize carbohydrates, and cats on dry food may become obese. Additionally, the excess of carbs forces the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin, to overwork. Over time, the pancreas can become exhausted, and lose the ability to make sufficient insulin. This lack of insulin causes diabetes.
Treatment: Most diabetic cats have not permanently lost the ability to produce insulin. In order to rest the pancreas and allow it to return to normal function, cats are given twice-daily insulin injections. It's essential to carefully regulate diabetes so the cat receives the proper amount of insulin to restore the function of the pancreas while avoiding low blood sugar, a potential side effect of insulin treatment.
The second essential component of treatment is the cat's diet. For the best chance of curing diabetes, most cats should eat a canned diet formulated for diabetes, or a canned kitten food. Be sure to consult with your veterinarian regarding the best diet for your own cat.
A note of caution: Cats who refuse to eat can become very ill. Any diet changes must be made cautiously, with careful monitoring of the appetite.
For optimal treatment of diabetic cats, it may be advisable to consult with a veterinary internal medicine specialist. We have two on staff at the ASPCA Animal Hospital: Dr. Pomrantz and Dr. Frank. To find a veterinary internist in your local area go to www.acvim.org.
Prevention: We all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For diabetes prevention as well as urinary tract and digestive health, we advise feeding cats canned food in meals, rather than allowing them to graze on dry food. Just remember that when attempting to make any change in a cat's diet, such as from dry to canned food, patience and caution are essential. Never allow a cat to "hunger strike," which can cause serious illness.
For more information about keeping kitty healthy, or to make an appointment for your pet, please visit the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
What about the periodontal health of the cat, which is linked to heart disease? Wet food causes more periodontitis.
There are products to help with periodontist.Plaque-Off! Just add to food. BRUSH HER TEETH. I know it's heard but with patience you can do it.

Two Goal Lead Evaporates as Men's Soccer Settles for 2-2 Draw at King
October 15, 2011
BRISTOL, T.N. - Trailing 2-0 at the half, King College put home the game-tying goal with 2:03 left in regulation to push the contest into overtime and eventually earn a 2-2 tie in overtime with Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons move to 2-10-1 overall, 1-6-1 in league play while the Tornado advance to 3-7-2, 2-4-1.
Pfeiffer jumped on the board with two first half goals starting with Kyle Toler's first of the year on an assist from Dale Ashford. Right at the buzzer of the first, Ben Lloyd put the Falcons up a pair after Fahret Salihovic sent over the pass just outside the 18-yard box.
King registered a penalty kick goal to get within one in the 55th minute after a Falcon foul inside the box, before Zach Caracciolo's unassisted game-tying goal in the 88th minute.
King took six shots in overtime while the Falcons took three, neither converting on a game-winner. The Tornado held a commanding 20-8 advantage in shots for the match. Zach Liles made seven saves in net for the Falcons while Patrick Milfeld made two for the Tornado.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Wednesday traveling over to Catawba for a 7:00 p.m. non-conference matchup with the Indians.

Today is the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the year 2012 – so perhaps it's no surprise we're thinking of the number twelve. Despite ever-tightening emission standards and fuel economy mandates, twelve-cylinder engines remain available in a number of automobiles, including here in North America. Here's a quick rundown of the 12-cylinder cars you can buy new today, on 12/12/12. Aston Martin Vanquish
5.9-liter V-12; 565 hp, 457 lb-ft
History is truly circular: the Vanquish begat the DBS, and now the DBS gives way to the new Vanquish. This new supercar not only boasts Aston's new design DNA, but also a stout 565 hp from its revamped 5.9-liter V-12. Couple that power with a car that weighs 123 pounds less than the outgoing DBS Carbon Edition, and you have a Vanquish that can rocket to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds.
Aston Martin DB9/Volante
5.9-liter V-12; 510 hp, 457 lb-ft
Once upon a time, the DB9 was one of the oldest Aston variants in the automaker's lineup. Now, it's one of the freshest, having received a very Vanquish-like makeover for the new model year. Power still comes from a 5.9-liter V-12, although some engineering finesse brings power up from 470 hp to 510. Interestingly, that's not that far off from the Vanquish, despite the fact the DB9 is far less expensive. Aston Martin Rapide
5.9-liter V-12; 470 hp, 443 lb-ft
Okay, so the shapely roofline and tall transmission tunnel don't leave much in the way of headroom, legroom, and shoulder room – but who cares? Even if you're forced to ride in either rear bucket seat, you still have the fortune of riding in an Aston Martin, an exquisitely-trimmed sports car bessed with one of the best-sounding V-12s on the planet. Drivers, if your passengers begin to whine about limbs and extremities going numb, drown out their kvetching by stabbing that throttle pedal and letting the 5.9-liter growl away.
Aston Martin V12 Vantage
5.9-liter V-12; 510 hp, 420 lb-ft
If the notion of stuffing the larger 5.9-liter V-12 from Aston's Vanquish/Rapide/DB9 families into the smaller, lighter Vantage model sounds like your cup of tea (or lunacy), then you're glad this car exists. Aston's also seen fit to launch a limited-production V12 Vantage Roadster for the coming year, but sadly, it won't be sold to North American customers.
Audi A8L W12
6.3-liter W-12; 500 hp, 463 lb-ft
Most A8 buyers will likely either opt for the supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 or the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, but for (very) well-heeled customers seeking the ultimate power trip, Audi again offers its flagship A8L sedan with a twelve-cylinder, three-bank engine. The W-12 provides 500 hp, and brings the A8's MSRP to a heady $135,375.
Bentley Continental GT, GTC, Flying Spur
6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12; 567/616/631 hp, 516/590 lb-ft
Eight-cylinder engines may be trickling into the Continental range, but they've yet to replace the Continental's twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter W12 outright. In the four-door Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed, the engine produces 552 and 600 hp, respectively. In two-door GT and convertible GTC guise, the same engine is tuned for 567 hp. Opt for the GT Speed coupe, and that power jumps to 616 hp. Need more? The wild Continental Supersports has about 621 hp on tap.
BMW 760Li
6.0-liter turbocharged V-12; 536 hp, 553 lb-ft
Technically, the Alpina-tuned B7 is the most powerful 7-Series one can buy from a BMW dealer, but its engine – a 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V-8 – isn't king of the 7-er lineup in terms of displacement or cylinder count. That crown is still held by the top-tier 760Li, which also slightly out-muscles the Alpina in terms of torque (553 lb-ft to 538).
Ferrari F12Berlinetta
6.3-liter V-12; 731 hp, 509 lb-ft
MSRP: $330,000 (est)
Given how gorgeous (and how good) the 458 Italia is, it's easy to forget there are other Ferraris in the automaker's lineup – including some that still abide by Ferrari's classic front-engine, 12-cylinder gran turismo format. The new F12Berlinetta is just that, a shapely GT that replaces the aging 599 GTB. The 6.3-liter V-12 – which will likely be used in the marque's next super car – yields an amazing 731 hp, and revs to a screaming 8700 rpm. Top speed is 211 mph, although the F12 bolts from 0-62 mph in but 3.1 seconds.
Ferrari FF
6.3-liter V-12; 651 hp, 504 lb-ft
MSRP: $303,500 (est)
Say you like the premise of the F12Berlinetta, but need a vehicle that also offers room for four (and their belongings) while maintaining traction on snowed-over roads. You're in luck: the FF is just the ticket. Although you sacrifice 80 hp in the name of cabin space and all-wheel-drive, the FF is still good for 133 mph.
Lamborghini Aventador
6.5-liter V-12; 691 hp, 509 lb-ft
MSRP: $393,695 (est)
Yes, Lamborghini warns, there may come a day when a Lamborghini supercar may not be powered by a large-displacement twelve-cylinder – but for now, why worry? The Aventador is here, and boasts a honkin' 6.5-liter twelve-pot that's good for a wicked 691 hp. Launch it right, and the Aventador runs from 0-60 mph in three seconds and hits a top end of 217 mph.
Mercedes-Benz CL/S600
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12; 510 hp, 612 lb-ft
Mercedes-Benz CL/SL/S65 AMG
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12; 621 hp, 738 lb-ft
Twelve-cylinder power is still alive and well at Mercedes-Benz, although there's presently one fewer way to pack a V-12 into a brand-new Benz than there was last year. The large, top-tier CL coupe and S-Class sedans are still offered in "600" guise, which means a 6.0-liter, 510-hp, twin-turbo V-12 is squeezed into their engine compartments. Those who (somehow) need even more power can always go for the AMG-built 6.0-liter V-12, which offers 621-hp in the CL65 AMG and S65 AMG. For the time being, this same engine is the only V-12 available in the new SL-Class. Base price for a new SL65 AMG? Only $213,145, of course.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12; 563 hp, 575 lb-ft
It might be the "baby" of the Rolls-Royce lineup, but the Ghost isn't that much smaller than the Phantom – at least when it comes to cylinder count and engine displacement. The 6.6-liter V-12 – an evolution of the 12-cylinder used in the aforementioned BMW 760Li – produces 563 hp and 575 lb-ft. Interestingly, both figures manage to eclipse that of the Phantom by a sizable measure.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
6.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-12; 453 hp, 531 lb-ft
The Phantom itself is larger than life, so perhaps it's fitting that its engine, a normally-aspirated, 6.7-liter V-12, is one of the largest V-12 engines available in North America -- this side of an ocean-going yacht, of course. Despite the Phantom's heft and the engine's somewhat meager output, the 6.7 is still capable of moving the Roller from 0-50 mph in 5.7 seconds (5.8 if you must have the long-wheelbase sedan).

Office of Student ResearchInterdepartmental Neuroscience ProgramKavli Institute for NeurosciencePediatrics | Genetics
Horwich received undergraduate and M.D. degrees from Brown University, trained in Pediatrics at Yale, was then a postdoctoral fellow first at Salk Institute in the Tumor Virology Laboratory, and then in Genetics at Yale, then joined the Yale faculty. His work was initially involved with protein import into mitochondria and resulted in discovery of a "folding machine" inside mitochondria, Hsp60. He has used genetic, biochemical, and biophysical tools to study the mechanism of action of these ring shaped so-called chaperonin machines that provide essential assistance to protein folding in many cellular compartments. More recently he has focused on neurodegenerative disease as caused by protein misfolding, seeking to understand how misfolded SOD1 enzyme in the cytosol of motor neurons leads to one form of ALS. His lab is modeling mutant SOD1-linked ALS in mice transgenic for a mutant SOD1-YFP, the YFP moiety offering a fluorescent reporter of the mutant protein and "tag" for biochemical studies. The transgenic mutant strain presents YFP fluorescent aggregates in motor neurons by the time of weaning, develops muscle weakness, and paralyzes by 6 months of age. By contrast, a wtSOD1-YFP transgenic strain with the same amount of total SOD1-YFP protein in spinal cord remains asymptomatic even after two years, and the cord remains free of aggregates. The nature of injury to the motor system of the mutant mice is under study, particularly at the level of lower motor neurons, examining their dendritic arbors, cell bodies, axons, and neuromuscular junctions, using both morphologic and electrophysiologic approaches. What is the most immediate target of the misfolded protein, and at what level in the motor system? Notably, endogenous molecular chaperones, Hsc70 and Hsp110, associate with the misfolded protein – they are obviously not able to fully protect the system. Can their overexpression alter the progression of motor dysfunction?

Theatre students present an evening of one act plays
Harding University theatre majors Amanda Lane and Dillon Holden will present their one act plays Nov. 8-10.
Lane, a senior from Kissimmee, Fla., has prepared her one act by casting, directing and producing the play "The Snow Show" by Lindsay Price. The show displays winter and the childhood joys of snow activities. The main character, Jenna Lee, experiences seeing snow for the first time through a series of vignettes.
Holden, a senior from Searcy, Ark., will present the one act "Don't Say Macbeth" by Burton Bumgarner. The play portrays a student struggling reading through Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in a café located by a theatre. In an attempt to help the student, the waitress asks restaurant guests, who are also actors, to perform the tragedy. An actor steps in from next door and reveals a Scottish curse surrounding the play. The actors portray a number of characters throughout history.
Both shows will be performed Nov. 8-10 at 7 p.m. in the Ulrey Performing Arts Center. Admission is $5 and free for students with a campus passport.

LONDON (ICIS)--There are many ways you can grow in chemicals but achieving anything like the growth rates of the past has become increasingly difficult.
In the short term, chemical companies face the prospect of slower demand from China, lacklustre growth in the US and extreme weakness in Europe.
Over the next decade or so, increased capital spending will go a long way to help provide the means to do the job – it has been constrained, industry-wide since the 2008-09 crash.
But chemical firms, quite rightly, eye closer customer collaboration and the sort of research and product development which will allow them to spread their bets.
Many of those bets are being placed on technologies and materials that become important as so-called global "megatrends" play out.
Megatrend ideas tend to be developed to fit company portfolios, or management targets, but there are broad sweeps of demographics and technologies that are impossible to ignore.
Increased urbanisation, for example, is a trend that chemical companies, as suppliers of materials, will need to understand in the developed and the developing world.
Where do you build your next plastics or plastics intermediates plant? You need to balance feedstock and other costs with demand. But to make real inroads into increasingly sophisticated markets, you need to be at the forefront of developing better, lighter, tougher, more easily processable, and recyclable materials.
Examples of new product developments abound as chemical companies push the envelope of materials processing and design. Such progress sometimes involves new chemistry but importantly research at the interfaces between traditional scientific disciplines.
Given increasingly important links between chemical producing companies and customers operating much closer to the end-use consumer, innovative thinking in a very broad sense – from molecule to product design – is key.
Illustrating what can be done, BASF on Friday said that it has launched a new advanced materials collaboration initiative with leading universities in the US that will create about 20 new post-doctoral research fellows.
Working with Harvard University, MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst, the aim is to jointly develop new materials for the automotive, building and construction, and energy industries.
"This collaboration with these prestigious American universities is an important expansion of our international research network," BASF CFO and CEO of the chemical company's US business, Hans-Ulrich Engel, said.
The research collaboration will involve chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers with know-how in different industries, BASF says. The trick will be to turn academic research into technically feasible products and processes.
"Topics already identified include micro- and nano-structured polymers with new properties, as well as biomimetic materials that emulate nature," BASF said. "The scientists are working on lightweight construction materials for wind turbines and automotive construction and on new colour effects for cosmetic applications," it added.
"We need the creative spirit of the widest possible range of sciences to develop solutions to meet the needs of a growing world population for clean drinking water, secure energy supply and improved quality of life," president of BASF's Advanced Materials and Systems Research, Christian Fischer, said.
"I am convinced that BASF's market-oriented materials and systems researchers, together with the outstanding scientists at the American universities, make up the ideal team for seeking out technically and economically viable solutions."
BASF wants to be generating about €30bn ($39bn) of its sales in 2020 from products developed in the previous 10 years and €7bn of EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). That is a stretch goal from a target of just €10bn of sales and €2.5bn of EBITDA from new products in 2015.
The company has been putting a great deal of emphasis on expanding its research and development (R&D) footprint in Asia as it pushes towards the goal. Last month it said it would open a battery materials laboratory and applications centre at Amagasaki in Japan.
The centre will extend BASF's local R&D infrastructure and tie in with its own researchers in other fields but importantly be close to customers in one of the most advanced markets for battery manufacturing and development in the world.
Increased mobility is one global mega trend which meshes with BASF's business portfolio and the company feels it can address through its coatings, chemicals, plastics and new battery materials businesses.
The company generated €9.5bn in sales of an assortment of products for the automobile industry in 2011. One of its targets is to raise that sales level to about €17bn by 2020, including €5bn from precious metals trading and vehicle emissions catalyst production
Taken together, the initiatives to develop new products for the 21st century can help the company generate rates of growth above the norm for the sector. They must also help drive above average returns.
BASF spent €1.75bn on research and development last year or 2.2% of its €78.78bn sales total. Average R&D spending to sales to 2020 is expected to be about 3% a year, excluding the oil & gas business.
The company wants sales to grow on average by 6% a year between 2001 and 2020 so the research collaborations and partnerships it has with more than 600 research institutions and companies are essential.
BASF says it will outperform global chemicals production growth between 2010 and 2020 by two percentage points per annum.
