At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for a rare mutation in the PSEN1 gene known to be associated with early onset familial Alzheimer disease (EOFAD, also called Alzheimer disease type 3 or AD3)
When to Get Tested?
When you are an adult who has symptoms of dementia and a strong family history of Alzheimer disease that begins before age 60-65 or if you are an asymptomatic adult with a family member who has early onset Alzheimer disease and an identified PSEN1 genetic mutation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test looks for mutations in the PSEN1 gene sequence that have been associated with early onset familial Alzheimer disease (EOFAD, also called Alzheimer disease type 3 or AD3).
Although most Alzheimer disease (AD) cases start after the age of 65, about 5-10% of cases begin in people younger than 65 years of age. Much of this early onset AD is familial – it runs in family lines and is caused by a genetic mutation. So far, there have been three rare gene mutations that have been identified as being associated with AD3: PSEN1, PSEN2, and amyloid precursor protein (APP).
PSEN1 is the most common of these gene mutations and is thought to cause about 30% to 70% of the cases of AD3. Since PSEN1 is a dominant gene (autosomal dominant), it only takes one mutated copy, inherited from either the mother or father, to lead to the development of AD3.
Why PSEN1 mutations are associated with AD3 is not completely understood. It is thought that the normal role of the PSEN1 gene is to make the presenilin 1, a protein used in the development of the brain and spinal cord. Presenilin 1 also works with other enzymes to cut certain proteins into smaller pieces (amyloid beta peptide). A mutation of PSEN1 produces an abnormal presenilin 1 protein that no longer functions properly, resulting in a breakdown of this process. This breakdown lends itself to increased production of a longer, stickier configuration of the amyloid beta protein, which is toxic to the nervous system and eventually forms the characteristic amyloid plaques seen with AD.
So far, more than 150 mutations of the PSEN1 gene have been identified in a limited number of different family lines worldwide. The large number of mutations suggests that there may be additional mutations not yet known; thus, the PSEN1 test will not identify every person who has a PSEN1 mutation.
The analysis is made easier if a specific PSEN1 mutation has already been identified in a person's family line. The PSEN1 genetic mutation analysis is a relatively new test and is offered by a limited number of laboratories.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

With Jacksonville clinging to a 6-5 lead over rival White Oak in the bottom of the sixth inning Thursday night, coach David Fleischer questioned an out call at first base — and got the answer he sought.
And that opened the door for what turned out to be a six-run explosion as the Cardinals blew open a close game and came away with a 12-5 baseball victory over the Vikings to solidify their hold on third place in the Coastal 3-A Conference.
"It's baseball," Fleischer said. "It's a close play. Anybody is going to ask."
Rarely, however, does a coach get an out call overturned by the umpires, which is what happened. Stephen Wendt led off the inning by grounding to sophomore third baseman John Moran, who had trouble initially corralling the ball but then fired to first baseman Jack Koonce for the out.
Or at least that was the call by the umpire in the field.
Fleischer saw it otherwise from the third base coach's box, feeling Koonce was off the bag by "about 2 or 3 inches." So Fleischer asked the ump who made the call to ask for help from his colleague behind the plate.
"The home umpire was right in perfect position, about 10 feet up the line," Fleischer said.
And after the umpires talked, the call was overturned and Wendt was ruled safe.
"That's baseball," Fleischer said. "We got the call, and I thought it was a good call."
White Oak coach Pete Mayberry thought differently and came out to question the change, to no avail. Asked about the play after the game, Mayberry said only: "I'm not going to talk about the umps."
The Cardinals (9-6, 5-3) then loaded the bases on a bunt single by Christian Heisey and a walk on a full count to Jeremy Evans, which prompted Mayberry to lift right-handed starter Scottie White (1-5) for lefty Troy Jurney to face left-handing hitting David DiCicco. Jurney hit DiCicco with his first pitch to force in Wendt to make it 7-5.
"Best laid plans," Mayberry lamented.
Then Jurney walked Chad Shepard on five pitches to bring in Heisey. Evans came home on Blake Heatherly's sacrifice fly, and two more runs scored on an error before Garrett Bettler singled home Shepard with the final run of the inning.
"Frustrating loss," Mayberry said after his Vikings fell to 2-14 and 0-8. "This is what happens to us, we get a bad inning. The key is you can't allow one bad play, bad call, change the dimensions of the game. We don't finish."
For Fleischer, however, the Cardinals showed the kind of grit he's been looking for from them as they rallied from a two-run deficit.
"It was good for our guys. Right now we're not a very tough baseball team. To me Jacksonville baseball is down and dirty, diving, sliding, getting hit, doing whatever you got to do," Fleischer said. "I still think we're (working) toward that. So it was really good, though, to see our guys actually battle back.
"They took the lead 5-3 and our guys could have panicked. They hit the baseball. We had a couple errors, couple walks. But I was really proud of our seniors for leading us back."
On a breezy night that formed a jet stream for balls hit to left-center field, Jacksonville led 3-0 after two innings on a two-run homer over the center field fence by sophomore Chad Shepard in the first inning and an RBI-single by Talon Mulnix in the second.
It was Shepard's first homer of the year.
"I was trying to knock a run in," Shepard said. "I hit it well off the bat."
But WOHS rallied. After scoring an unearned run in the third, the Vikings struck for four in the fourth behind a run-scoring double by Koonce and an RBI-single by Brian Goodwin. Another run came home on a fielder's choice by James Roughan. The fourth scored on an error.
The Cardinals got one run back in the bottom of the inning when Bettler doubled and later scored on a wild pitch, and JHS then took a 6-5 lead in the fifth on an error and an infield single by Heatherly that scored Shepard with the go-ahead run.
Along with going 2-for-2 with 2 RBIs, Heatherly (4-2) also picked up the win on the mound. The right-hander went the distance, striking out five and walking two while allowing eight hits and four earned runs.
"To me, if I had a vote, Blake Heatherly would be the area conference player of the year so far this year," Fleischer said. "Being a senior, a guy that's hitting close to .500 with 10 extra base hits and having (pitching ace) Ryan Thompson out (with a stress fracture) — Blake only pitched three times last year — he's really developed into that ace. He's done a hell of a job."
You got the impression Fleischer and the Cardinals felt the same way as well about their come-from-behind win against their rivals.
"We got down," Shepard said, "and then it was like, 'We've got to get tough and get more nitty-gritty again. (That should) help up us in the long run, just knowing not to give up the fight."

"Busy Sales Rep Gets a Breast Lift! ..."
I had lost weight and my breasts were in need of a breast lift. I had been considering this for a while so I was excited to find Dr. Sowder to talk about it. As far as I can tell there are only pros, no cons to this procedure. Recovery time is minimal and you can back to work soon after the surgery. My breasts turned out great and I am so glad I found Dr. Sowder. more
"FINALLY Going to Get NEW BREASTS!!!..."
I'm 33 years old 5'5", 165 lbs, current bra size 36 D. My husband and I have decided not to have anymore children so this is my green light to start the search for a Dr to do my breast lift. I developed breasts very early. I had to wear a bra in 4th grade and got teased by all the boys.

I went to Dr. Richard Rand in 2004 for my first breast lift, on the advice of a friend who had had augmentation implants done by him just a few months earlier. She was happy. So I met with him as well as another plastic surgeon just for comparison. Dr. Rand definitely had a wonderful "bedside manner." He was ever so attentive and gave me a good explanation of the procedure and his special... more
"Very Happy with my Breast Lift! -..."
I just had a breast lift, and my breasts look amazing! They are so round and perky. I was desperately unhappy with them before, but now they look just beautiful. I can't wait for the scars to heal. I had been wearing bras to bed, and I had been afraid for people to see my breasts. I only wish I had done this two years ago. Five weeks later... It's not an easy surgery to recover from, or at... more
"Breast Lift and Augmentation! He's..."
What Dr. Salemy did for me is something I can't even put into words!! I am day 6 and couldn't be happier! I am a whole new person. I didn't know I could look this amazing after being born with unsightly horribly sagging breasts. I have amazing breasts that I am in awe of every second of every day!So now I am 5 weeks and one day in and happier than I have ever been about my body. I have amazing... more
"10 Years Later, my Breasts Still..."
I wish I had the before picture but I threw it away because they looked so awful. After breastfeeding 3 children, Dr. Rand was able to lift my breasts around the nipple and reduce the areola size too. He placed implants under the muscle because he felt they would position better there. It's been 10 years and I'm so happy with the results - You can barely see any scars and my boobs... more
"Life Changing Breast Lift! -..."
I had considered breast augmentation for years and had met with several doctors before Dr. Partington was recommended by a close friend. I was concerned about the vanity of cosmetic surgery and also the surgical procedure itself (I had two children naturally and no experience with medical procedures). Dr. P. and his staff were absolutely amazing every step of the way! After pregnancy, weight... more
"Breast Lift Only - Bellevue, WA"
I have been researching this and contemplating this for years and for me I believe that I have a full enough breast that I really will not need any augmentation. The breast lift needed is due to having children.I went in on Nov. 8th for surgery. I was not nervous at all - I just think I knew I was in good hands in advance. The anesthesiologist spoke with me and explained everything and... more
"Excellent Care and Results - Seattle, WA"
I was overweight when younger, and that coupled with pregnancy left my large breasts sagging and heavy. As a professional woman, I required bras which would lift my breasts into place in order to fit clothes properly, in addition, any amount of jiggling was unacceptable to me, thus bras with any elastic in the straps were out of the question. I was able to find such bras (not an easy... more
"Outstanding Breast Lift - Seattle, WA"
Sagging, deflated breasts with enlarged areolas due to a 60 pound weight loss. July 22, 2011 will be my two year anniversary and I could not be happier with how things turned out. My scars are almost completely undetectable and my breasts look fantastic. Honestly if I could change anything about my breast lift from the consultation, to the procedure, to the after care, to now, two... more
"Trust This Dr. to Do a Masterful Job..."
I had lost so much weight and wanted my clothes to fit properly. After so much hard work to lose all that weight, it was frustrating that I was looking older instead of younger because of all the sagging skin. All the exercise in the world cannot tighten up skin that has been that stretched out for so long. So it needed to be removed. I had lost over 164 lbs and my loose, baggy skin was... more
"Excellent Results - Seattle, WA"
I decided about 5 years ago that I would have breast enhancement surgery for my 40th birthday. In the last 3 years, I had a baby and breastfed for 6 months, so needless to say, my saggy breasts were more than ready for some work when I found Dr. S. Although I wasn't sure whether I needed both a breast lift AND implants or just a lift, I knew I needed something! My surgery was just over... more
I was apprehensive choosing a Doctor online. I did my research and made an appointment. I was really impressed after my consultation. I needed a breast lift/revision and new implants. I had become severly disfigured after capsular contracture on both breast. It was painful and unattractive. I was not sure I even wanted implants again. I was really put at ease with the options I was given by my... more
"Breast Lift with Gel Implant..."
I had a breast augmentation with saline implants 10 years ago. After 2 babies (the last one 5 months ago) I underwent a breast lift, replaced the implants with gel, and had the areola's reduced. My areola's were huge! The biggest my surgeon had seen in proportion to my breasts. I was a 38DD after babies and would have to guess that I'll end up somewhere between a full C and... more
"The Best Thing I've Ever Done for..."
I had hated my breasts since puberty. They always seemed 'wrong' to me. I tried to love them (many trips to 007b.com), but I'd slowly been getting more and more depressed about my situation. Although I was successful scholastically, worked out and ate correctly, volunteered my free time to good causes, and had a job that I loved, I still felt as though I was not enough. I had not been fully... more
"Breast Lift Enhanced my Inward and..."
I was extremely satisfied with my Mastopexy. I shopped around the area to find a surgeon to perform the surgery. This surgeon out ranked all the others. He provided superior pre-op and post-op consultion. The surgeon and his surgery team were gentle, kind and caring. The whole process went smoothly. The surgery had minimal scaring, eliminated my back problems and boosted my self esteem. more

Asia Pacific Economic Outlook October 2012
Weathering headwinds
The October 2012 edition of the Asia Pacific Economic Outlook gives a near-term outlook for China, Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines.
China: When exports decline
As the Chinese economy continues to decelerate, the government is trying to use policy measures to offset the headwinds from Europe that are having a negative impact on Chinese exports.
Indonesia: Maintaining expansion
The Indonesian economy is experiencing a slowdown, but it has fared better than its regional peers due to robust domestic demand and continued foreign investment. The country's GDP is expected to expand by around 6.5 percent this year. However, a recent wave of protectionist regulations and political scandals are casting a shadow on its growth prospects.
Japan: Contraction in the cards
Despite a significant upward revision to Q1 GDP growth, the outlook for the Japanese economy has not improved significantly. While the central bank has adopted an aggressive monetary stance, deflation continues to pose a challenge. Exports, manufacturing, and consumption have decelerated, and the economy is likely to contract in the third quarter of 2012.
Philippines: Growth from within
Strong domestic consumption and investment are expected to drive growth and offset a decelerating export sector. The government will likely continue to support consumption and increase spending on infrastructure, which may help the economy grow at a modest pace of around 5.5 percent this year.

P-51D Racer Undergoing Restoration
The Museum is pleased to announce that it has begun restoration work on a historic North American P-51D Racer that participated in the Cleveland Air Races in both 1948 and 1949 piloted by Anson Johnson. Johnson won the 1948 Thompson Trophy.
This racer, known among aviation historians as 'N13Y' serial # 44-72400, was modified by Johnson in several ways. In preparation for the 1948 race, the engine was replaced with a modified Packard/Rolls Royce V1650-225 engine. He also used a paddle-blade propeller and shortened the wing by two feet on each end. Through sheer endurance, Johnson was the surprise winner of the 1948 race, outlasting other contenders who were slated to fare better.
Johnson returned to the races in 1949, making more modifications to N13Y as follows: The propeller blades were shortened 6". The lower engine cowling was reworked as a continuous contour from spinner to the wing and a small carburetor air inlet was formed in the lower cowl. The engine radiator & oil coolers were moved from the lower belly scoop into the wings. New cooling inlets were built into the machine gun positions in the wings. A Bell P-39 radiator was cut in half and each section installed in each wing. The oil cooler was fitted into the right wing. The belly scoop was then removed. A final modification included the removal of the stock exhaust stacks and the fitting of horizontally rectangular, low back-pressure units. The aircraft was painted bright yellow with red spinner and markings. The main landing gears wheels were painted red. The result was one of the sleekest and cleanest P-51s ever produced. Unfortunately, Johnson was forced to withdraw from the race after nine laps with smoke in the cockpit due to the failed modified exhaust stacks.
The 1949 races were the last for many years, cheating N13Y of an opportunity to prove her mettle. In 1952 Johnson had an opportunity to set a new world speed record with this aircraft, but was thwarted again when the NAA's (National Aeronautic Association) timing equipment failed. It was estimated the aircraft flew at what would have been a record-setting 510 mph, but due to complications the NAA could never validate it. The Museum will restore the aircraft as it was in 1949. Johnson sold the aircraft in 1959 and it would move through seven more owners until purchased by the New England Air Museum in 1972 and put into storage with the aircraft literally in pieces. But much of it is original to the 1949 build.
NEAM Begins the Restoration Effort
In October 2012, six large crates of parts, two dissected wings, a fuselage, a horizontal stabilizer, a vertical stabilizer, a rudder, a pair of elevators, a pair of flaps, a pair of main landing gear, and two wing fuel cells were all moved from NEAM's old storage building into the restoration hanger. The propeller, modified by Anson Johnson, was moved to the storage hangar.
A restoration team was assembled and during the next few months the task of reconstructing N13Y was started. This P-51D racer will be restored to its 1949 racing configuration. A detailed spreadsheet parts inventory of the over 1,000 parts was completed. The parts were categorized and stored in an organized fashion. All parts were photographed and the photos stored by category. A listing of missing parts for purchase or fabrication was compiled.
A detailed restoration plan was designed and a cost estimate for the process was documented. An aggressive three year timeline was estimated for completion of the project. The Museum's library was then searched for all documents pertaining to this aircraft.
Work fixtures to support the various airframe components were designed and fabricated. Those included were an engine frame stand, a wing stand, a main fuselage stand, an empennage (rear fuselage section) stand and lastly a stand to support the horizontal stabilizer. Several airframe assemblies were mounted and the project was underway.

Runners from Gaston County and beyond will come together this weekend to participate in a race for diseases you've never heard of.
The inaugural Race for R.A.R.E. (Rare disease, Awareness, Research and Education), a 5K and 10-mile trail race, will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday at George Poston Park in Lowell.
The race, in advance of World Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28, is intended to raise awareness of rare diseases like Joubert Syndrome, the disease that affects four-year-old Haley Buchanan, daughter of race organizers Will and Laura Smith Buchanan of Dallas.
"We want to bring attention to these rare diseases everywhere," said Laura Smith Buchanan, a Kings Mountain native. "There may be one or two other people in North Carolina affected by Joubert Syndrome but there are thousands and thousands with some sort of rare disease."
According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, a disease is rare if it is believed to affect fewer than 200,000 people. There are nearly 7,000 known rare diseases, affecting nearly 30 million Americans, or almost 1 in 10 people.
Joubert Syndrome, a disease that causes developmental delays due to the malformation of the brain's cerebellum, is one of them. Found in 1 in 100,000 people worldwide, the Buchanan's daughter was diagnosed with the disease in 2009, shortly after her first birthday.
"She had been showing some developmental delays pretty much from the time she was 6 months old," Laura said. "She wasn't rolling over. She definitely wasn't standing on her own."
The Buchanans didn't know what the diagnosis would mean for their daughter at the time. Neither did her doctors.
"We became the experts," Laura said. "That was hard – to do all the research and figure out everything ourselves."
Symptoms of Joubert Syndrome range from decreased muscle tone, coordination problems and abnormal eye movements to abnormal breathing pattern and cognitive impairment. It can also cause kidney and liver problems, which can be fatal.
Haley, who has a mild form of Joubert Syndrome, faces balance, coordination and speech challenges. And while she looks like a perfectly healthy child, "she is still in all kinds of therapies – physical therapy, speech, visual – it's very time consuming in the beginning and very expensive," her mother said.
Still, the adorable four-year-old should be able to lead a normal life and, aside from having a rare disease, is just like your typical preschooler.
"She's very strong-willed, I think that is partly because of what she's gone through," Laura said. "She's very funny. Once she warms up to you, you can't get her to shut up. She's something else."
To Participate
Register online at www.raceforrare.com or in person until 8am race day. Cost is $30 for the 5K and $40 for the 10-mile run. Awards will be given to the overall male and female finishers in both runs and to the top three male and female races in each age group.
Proceeds will benefit the Joubert Syndrome & Related Disorders Foundation. For more information on the race, or to donate to J4JS, email email@example.com or visit www.raceforrare.com.

Eleanor Clift, contributing editor of Newsweek, spoke at Samford University on September 22, 2010. Her presentation, "Women in Politics: From Suffrage to Shattering the Glass Ceiling," examined women's progress in politics from securing the right to vote (90 years ago) to the present. She is author of several books, including Founding Sisters and The 19th Amendment and Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling. Ms. Clift's presentation was part of the Mann Center's continuing A. Gerow Hodges Lectures in Ethics & Leadership.
In her role at Newsweek, Ms. Clift writes on the Washington power structure, the influence of women in politics and other issues. Her column, "Capitol Letter," is posted each Friday on Newsweek.com. Formerly Newsweek's White House correspondent for six years, she is currently a panelist on the weekly syndicated television program, The McLaughlin Report.
Before Wednesday night's program, Dr. John Knapp spoke with Ms. Clift on the role of women in politics. Similar interviews with other thought leaders are available here.

DxOMark continues its exploration of the past with this very good wide-angle lens that Sigma first produced for Canon mounts in 2003, and while we're at it, we'll use this opportunity to compare it with one of the most best-known lenses on the market, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM.
First of all, let's take a look at the results for the Sigma lens by itself:
With a DxO Mark Score of 20, this wide-angle zoom is indeed a good-quality lens.
|Strong points
|Weak points
|Good sharpness
|Significant vignetting at maximum aperture
|Good correction of chromatic aberration
|Rather weak transmission
|Very reasonable price
|An acceptable weight
Both lenses achieve the same DxOMark overall score of 20. When looking at the results a bit more closely, the Sigma's quality seems actually somewhat lower (see also the DxOMark score map).
In fact, the Sigma's performance drops off a bit for the greatest focal lengths (starting at 28 mm), due to the fact that the Sigma doesn't maintain a constant f/2.8. To compensate for the loss of brightness, one must augment the ISO sensitivity - and consequently, noise goes up as well.
|The advantages
|The disadvantages
|Homogenous sharpness in the field at maximum aperture
|An aperture that varies depending on the focal length
|Good correction of chromatic aberrations
|Very heterogenous optical quality
|A truly affordable lens in terms of price
|The advantages
|The disadvantages
|Homogenous optical quality
|Good sharpness only in the first third of the field
|With a constant aperture, the Canon is brighter
|Very strong chromatic aberrations chromatiques in the corners at 16mm
|High price
The Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4 EX DG Aspherical HSM Canon is a very good lens for the price. While each lens has its strong and weak points, the Sigma quite frankly manages to hold its own against its pricier Canon rival.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

OXFORD, Ohio – Ryan McKay stopped 29 of 30 shots in his first start since Feb. 15, but Minnesota Duluth's Aaron Crandall stopped all 30 of the Miami hockey teams shots to send MU to a 1-0 setback on Saturday night.
The RedHawks (11-18-3, 5-16-1-1 National Collegiate Hockey) honored seniors Max Cook and Bryon Paulazzo, who played their final game at Steve Cady Arena, prior to the contest.
Both teams played it pretty close to the vest defensively in the early going, with only three total shots on goal (all from UMD) in the first seven minutes. The RedHawks got a strong chance nearly eight minutes in when Blake Coleman was fed for a one-timer at the right wing circle that Crandall stopped.
Minnesota Duluth (15-13-4, 10-10-2-2 NCHC) drew the evening's first power play with 9:05 remaining in the opening frame. The Bulldogs fired four shots on goal during their man advantage, but most were from the perimeter and McKay snared each attempt. Shortly after the power play ended, Riley Barber's hard work looking for a loose puck drew a penalty against UMD. The Red and White moved the puck around well and fired five shots on net, the most dangerous of which was an Anthony Louis one-timer from the right wing side. Crandall stopped each attempt to help UMD get out of the MU power play unscathed.
A couple good chances were created for both teams late in the period with Miami's best opportunity coming off a scramble in front of the net that resulted in several point blank shots that were either blocked or stopped. Right after that sequence, the Bulldogs transitioned with a two-on-one rush that ended up with a shot fired wide. The teams skated into the locker room with the score exactly as they entered, 0-0, with shots favoring MU 15-12.
The pace slowed down a little bit in the second period, matching the early stages of the first. Miami did have a power play opportunity come and go. With about seven minutes passed, the line of Barber, Coleman and Austin Czarnik created a rush up ice. Czarnik's shot hit Crandall through traffic and eventually the puck worked into the crease, but was covered by UMD's goaltender to quell the attack.
Kyle Osterberg's one-timer at the 10:55 mark put the Bulldogs ahead 1-0. The score happened off a faceoff where Justin Crandall dug out the puck and fed him between the hash marks. The RedHawks went on their third power play of the night shortly after the tally, but were unable to generate much of an attack with their two minute man advantage.
The Bulldogs had another dangerous opportunity with a few minutes left in the second period when Adam Krause was fed coming down the right side in transition. The back door feed hit his stick for a quick one-timer, but McKay slid over to make a crucial save to keep the deficit at 1-0 after two periods of play. UMD outshot MU 12-6 while taking the lead in the second period.
Offense was hard to come by for Miami in first 10 minutes of the third period, partially due to killing off a pair of Minnesota Duluth power plays. The Bulldogs held the RedHawks to only four shots on goal over the first 14 minutes and change of the final regulation frame.
Miami finally went on a power play with a little over five minutes remaining in the third and got a glorious chance early on when Barber fed Louis down low for a point blank shot at the right side that Crandall steered away. The Red and White fired only one more shot during its man advantage, which Crandall also saved.
A juggled line of Kevin Morris along with seniors Cook and Paulazzo hemmed UMD in its own defensive zone with roughly two minutes remaining and a couple quality opportunities were once again saved by Crandall. With McKay pulled for an extra skater, Miami got one more crack on the power play when UMD was called for tripping with 25 seconds remaining.
After a timeout, the RedHawks won the faceoff and moved the puck to the left side of the crease to Barber, but Crandall again got over to smother a sharp angle attempt. UMD cleared the puck after the following faceoff to hold off the MU comeback attempt. The teams gathered for a skirmish following the end of a tightly contested series, with coincidental roughing minors and 10-minute misconducts handed out after the final horn.
Both teams finished with 30 shots on goal for the night with Crandall stopping every MU shot. McKay played well in his own right, steering away 29 of 30 UMD shots. Miami finished 0-for-5 on the power play while Minnesota Duluth went 0-for-3.
Saturday's result gives the RedHawks the No. 8 seed in the inaugural NCHC Tournament, which begins with a best-of-three series at the eventual regular season champion March 14-16. Miami wraps up its regular season next weekend when it travels to Denver for a two-game series. Friday's game begins at 9:37 p.m. ET.

A while back, a friend made the Apple-Red Wine Tart (in Ready for Dessert), which calls for the fruit to be cooked in red wine in a nonreactive pan. I didn't realize it at the time, but many people don't know what nonreactive cookware is and he called to tell me the dessert was great, but his pan was stained. (And this was someone who cooks a lot.) Which is why I specify in some recipes, most notably those that use citrus juice, certain fruits and vegetables, some brown sugars, or wine, to use "nonreactive" cookware. But I'm often asked – What does "nonreactive" mean?
It means to use cookware made of a material that will not react with acidic ingredients. The most common nonreactive cookware is made with a stainless-steel finish and will not discolor or pit when used with acidic ingredients. You can see from the two saucepans above, the finish on the one on the left (nonreactive stainless-steel) has remained intact and has not pitted, whereas the lining and finish (reactive) in the copper pan has become worn off.

Date Reviewed: September 7, 2013
Strengths: Super fast, positive shifts. Lasted 2x longer then the X.0 rings they replaced. Excellent product support. Very lightweight. Supported a small business with a superior product.
Weaknesses: They don't come stock
Bottom Line:
If your reading this review you are, like me among the few people still running a 3x setup and understand that shifting performance and longevity are a serious concern when you are making the most of a 30 speed drivetrain. Without a doubt the WickWerks are the fastest shifting, longest lasting rings I have ever owned since buying my first mtb back in 1990. When I say long lasting, I mean these rings have seen 5 chains and two XX cassettes for reference.
They are easy to install, lighter then the competition and shift way faster then anything else out there. This is especially relevant in todays world of 36+ points of hub engagement, what's the point if it takes so long to up shift and get back on the power?
I would definitely recommend these as an upgrade to an existing setup or as a replacement for a worn out drivetrain. I wish Chris the best of luck as his business continues to grow and look forward to trying his 2x10 (38x24) setup.

HAMILTON, Ohio -- Miami captured the doubles point, but dropped five of six tightly-contested singles matches Saturday, in a 5-2 decision to Eastern Kentucky at the Riverside Athletic Club.
The No. 2 doubles match was decided quickly as Christiana Raymond and Alix Thurman won the first three games then answered a break with five straight games for an 8-1 victory. The other two matches started in Miami's favor before the scores tightened up. At No. 1, Eastern Kentucky rallied from a 4-1 deficit for an 8-5 win, while at No. 3, the RedHawks were up 4-2 before dropping three straight. But Ana Rajkovich and Chloe Heerden fought back, closing out the match by taking four straight games. Rajkovice ended the 8-5 match with back-to-back aces.
Eastern Kentucky (3-2) established itself early in singles play, winning the first set in four matches. The Colonels evened the score at 1-1 by winning at No. 3, 6-1, 6-3. The teams split the next two matches in dominating fashion. Raymond won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2, just seconds before EKU took the top flight, 7-5, 6-0.
Eastern Kentucky took the lead 3-2 with a 6-3, 6-4 win at No. 5, but the final two matches went to third sets. No. 4 Christine Guerrazzi won her first set 6-3, but dropped the last two by the same 6-3 scores. At No. 6, Heerden fell behind 6-4, before forcing her extra set 6-1. However, a costly early break lifted the Colonels to a 6-4 win in the third.
Miami (1-3) hosts a rare doubleheader at Riverside tomorrow. The RedHawks face California (Pa.), ranked eighth in the country in Division II, at 10 a.m., then entertains Xavier at 4 p.m.

Of course he did post the credit price this time for the Marathon station at Old 23/Hilton but didn't mention that it was credit. Just when we get used to him posting cash prices!
Yep, he insists on posting cash prices then takes the time to comment that they are cash prices. Drives me crazy :-) !!

Lenoir Community College swept the first opponent in Saturday's doubleheader, but the match wasn't against the undefeated Catawba Valley CC.
After taking the first game, 3-0 (25-8, 25-6, 25-11), against Brunswick CC on Coach Bobby Dawson Court, the nine-woman squad from Hickory was much harder to overcome for LCC.
Catawba Valley improved to a flawless 34-0 record after defeating the Lancers in three, 25-13, 25-19, 25-19. LCC moved to 5-7 in the Region 10 division after splitting Saturday's matches.
"Too many times we're sending the ball over too easy for them and allowing them to get in the system too fast," LCC coach Shelly Barnes said. "You can't play good teams and give them easy balls to set up and hurt you with, and that's what we were doing."
CVCC jumped ahead, 7-1, early to start the game. The Lancers had trouble catching up, as CV's hitters came out strong, all while LCC gave up precious points to attacking errors.
LCC didn't have trouble defensively, as the team recorded 45 digs against the Buccaneers, but if CV decided to play an irregular hit or pass, it tripped up the Lancers. CV setter Madison Gouge made like she was going to set up a teammate when she instead tipped the ball to an empty spot on LCC's side to end the first set.
The Lancers didn't fall too far behind in the next two sets, although they couldn't finish. They tied in the final set at five after LCC's Payton Dunavant set up Deshona Cox for a kill.
Afterwards, hitting leader Megan Gouge, CV's right side hitter, ended an extended volley with one of her nine kills, with an LCC error allowing the Bucs to break 10 on the next play.
But in the final set, CV committed the majority of its 18 hitting errors — attacking and serving.
"I told them just to clean it up and play their game," Catawba coach Shannon Hudson said. "They worked really hard this year, and they play well together. They never quit, and I'm really proud of how they're playing."
CV's Madison Gouge led all with 23 sets, while the Buccaneerstallied six blocks with outside hitter Aimee Cloninger having two.
LCC's Cox had a block, with Essence Perry and Britney O'Hara chipping in with a block assist. Elaina Price led the Lancers with six kills and an ace, and setter Brianna Harris had 10 assists.
The Lancers trailed 19-13 in the last set, holding off CV to at least score six points before a block assist ended the game.
"We think we can play with Catawba Valley, just like we think we can play with all the teams, it's just that our confidence still isn't where we want it to be," Barnes said. "We've got to fine tune the simple stuff."
Facing an undefeated team was motivation to her.
"I'm a competitor," she said. "They put on their shorts just like we do, and they play on the same size court that we do and the net's the same height. Nothing's changed, it's just they executed a litter better than us right now."

This listing is for the Electronic Edition, available as a PDF download. NO physical book will be shipped.
The purpose of this work is to provide a clear overview of the various Orthodox Christian Churches in the United States for the wide—Orthodox and non-Orthodox, academic and non-academic—audience of readers.
Simultaneously, this book is intended to be an atlas, a reference book and, to some extent, a thematic
monograph. It is an atlas because it uses the language of cartography and contains numerous maps to show the historical development and present territorial patterns of Orthodox Church life in America. It is a reference book because it provides information on the American Orthodox Churches as well as up-to-date statistical data on their membership and geographic distribution. It is a thematic monograph because the articles in this book tell the story of the Orthodox Christian past and present in the United States.

Poor nutrition in various forms is seen in all countries around the world. Malnutrition can result from a lack or excess of certain nutrients, or nutrients in the wrong proportions; acute malnutrition (wasting or thinness); chronic malnutrition (stunting or short stature); micronutrient malnutrition; and overweight and obesity are all pressing public health issues, often co-existing in the same populations. The underlying causes of malnutrition- lack of access to sufficient, high-quality, safe and acceptable food; a deficient health environment; and inadequate childcare practices- continue to lead to high rates of child malnutrition, morbidity and mortality.
IFPRI's work seeks to understand the drivers of poor nutrition, including poverty and agriculture practices, and to design, test and evaluate programs and policies to improve nutrition, particularly from conception to 2 years of age, the 1000-day window of opportunity for the reduction of undernutrition.

Across Canada this weekend, family and friends will be digging into feasts of turkey or ham and giving thanks for the bounty that is served and the time shared with those they care about.
Wednesday night on Bell Pitch at BC Place, Whitecaps FC supporters were offered a bounty that satisfied their soccer palate, let alone their hunger for 'The Beautiful Game'.
Facing an out-of-form Chivas USA side, the 'Caps put together a performance that saw them turn the corner and provide plenty of optimism for the remaining couple of games in the 2012 regular season.
A first-ever 4-0 win in MLS was just the tonic that Martin Rennie's side needed to put a difficult seven-match winless streak behind them and build on a three-game unbeaten run.
It was a midweek goal feast, and 'Caps fans were served up different types of goals to enjoy. Like a recipe, the common theme in all four goals was good passing and movement, all of which are ingredients of good team understanding on the pitch.
It was pleasing to see the way Whitecaps FC worked to create the openings for their goals, as the build-up had as much quality as the finish on all four occasions.
This was down to some key goalscoring ingredients. Before coming off early with a hamstring strain, Kenny Miller offered vision in setting up Gershon Koffie's match winner, as did all-around action man Camilo Sanvezzo with his two assists.
There was also speed - much of it used to devastating effect by Dane Richards. A winger by trade, the Jamaican international showed his striking abilities as a substitute on Wednesday.
The way Richards tormented Chivas USA centre back John Valencia was almost criminal to watch, but equally decisive in the thumping Vancouver gave The Goats.
There was also hunger and quickness, with Camilo offering those ingredients in the second half. Like a mountain lion, the Brazilian pounced to score the game's third goal before intelligently running on to his own through ball to set up the fourth goal.
Wednesday's soccer feast also served plenty of work rate and commitment on the defensive side of the ball by the Blue and White.
The way Rennie's side closed down the Rojiblancos resulted in turnovers and loss of possession from the visitors. Barry Robson led by example with his applied pressure on Chivas USA opponents, and that defensive work was infectious amongst his teammates.
It resulted in one of the most comprehensive performances from the 'Caps in MLS - a match that left everyone in good spirits going into the Thanksgiving Day long weekend.
With a five-point lead on sixth-place FC Dallas, the onus is now on the Texas club to match Vancouver's midweek effort and beat Chivas USA on Thanksgiving Sunday (4 p.m. PT kickoff from The Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Live stream on MLS LIVE!)
Of course, the 'Caps faithful will hope Robin Fraser's side can shake off Wednesday's defeat and do Vancouver a huge favour by earning a win or a draw versus The Hoops. Should that occur, Rennie's side will head into their final regular season home match with Portland Timbers on Sunday, October 21, knowing a win will secure them a spot in this year's MLS Cup Playoffs.
Then all in Whitecaps FC nation would be truly thankful!
There are some weekends in the year that prove to be sporting blockbusters, with many major events happening around the world. This weekend might have been one of them.
There was an historical Ryder Cup golf victory by Europe in the United States and the first Canadian to play in and win Australian rules football's AFL Grand Final as a member of Sydney Swans (Victoria, BC, native Mike Pyke).
There were also events closer to home, with celebrations for one of our local senior soccer clubs, as Vancouver's Westside FC completed a quartet of Over-35 titles by claiming their first Western Canadian Masters championship crown in Edmonton, Alberta.
Among the smorgasbord of sporting events was an equally exciting Pacific Northwest derby between Whitecaps FC and Seattle Sounders FC - much in thanks to a passionate sold-out crowd at BC Place.
Saturday's clash was the 116 th edition of this Interstate 5 rivalry, and while there were no goals to speak of, the match had all the ingredients of a fierce derby battle.
Beyond the bragging rights and Cascadia Cup points that were on offer, Saturday's match had a major bearing on the playoff hopes of both clubs. The result locked in Seattle's place for the postseason, while the point was another step towards Whitecaps FC's aspirations of reaching the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time.
With some help from MLS Supporters' Shield candidates San Jose Earthquakes (thank you, Steven Lenhart!), the 'Caps came out of the weekend with the same two-point margin between themselves and sixth-place FC Dallas for the fifth and final playoff spot in the MLS Western Conference.
Of course, the gap could have been more, and Martin Rennie's squad are fully aware of that. As evenly-fought as the game was on Saturday, a single goal would have likely been enough to take all three points for either side.
But at the very least, it was encouraging to see Whitecaps FC put a highly-rated Sounders FC under real amount of pressure in the second half, and that tends to be a rare experience for the Rave Green. It showed again that Whitecaps FC can battle with the league's best and that would have restored some much-needed confidence in the squad.
Another positive was Vancouver earning their 10th clean sheet of the season (the first 'Caps shutout for goalkeeper Brad Knighton) with a defensive display reminiscent of games earlier this season.
With three games to go in the regular season, the draw with Seattle was a further indication that Whitecaps FC may be set to put their lean run of results behind them.
It will require confidence and belief from Rennie's squad, and an understanding that all will need to step up for the cause. After John Thorrington and Darren Mattocks went down with unfortunate hamstring injuries, Matt Watson and Camilo Sanvezzo answered the call and gave Seattle all they could handle.
Watson, in particular, performed admirably in midfield. He linked up well with his teammates, while arguably looking at his best in possession of the ball than at any point this season.
Those performances will inspire Camilo and Watson's teammates to be of similar service themselves. After all, it is that time of the year when character is a big requirement for Whitecaps FC and their quest to reach the playoffs.
The short turnaround to hosting Chivas USA will also provide the 'Caps immediate motivation that the next step to fully restoring their form can be achieved this week.
As always, our supporters will have their role to play on Wednesday night. Let's all get out to BC Place and send our Blue and White into the Thanksgiving weekend and international break in the best of spirits!
Until Wednesday everyone!
As weeks go for Whitecaps FC, this middle week of August 2012 will likely be forgotten in a hurry.
Despite the challenge that it posed (three Western Conference rivals in a week), the opportunity to make ground and further solidify a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs was abruptly halted by two sobering defeats – the latest leaving a particular regional sting.
It felt like the soccer omens were against Vancouver heading into Seattle on Saturday. Though there were welcome faces back from international duty, the absence of injured captain Jay DeMerit and suspended centre-back partner Martin Bonjour caused speculation as to who would play in Martin Rennie's backline.
Then came word on Saturday morning that influential midfielder Barry Robson was also forced to sit out this latest Cascadia derby after MLS deemed his booking late on in the home defeat to Dallas was aggravated dissent against an assistant referee.
While there was debate over the timing of Robson's suspension announcement by MLS, Rennie gave some players a chance to stake their claim for a regular starting role.
Top of that list was Carlyle Mitchell, who was slotted into the starting XI alongside Andy O'Brien in the centre of Vancouver's defence. After appearing for his native Trinidad & Tobago in midweek, the young defender earned himself a measure of redemption with his performance on Saturday.
His last MLS start at New England Revolution back on May 12 was a tough outing for the Caribbean import, and though Whitecaps FC conceded twice in the second half in Seattle, Mitchell can take encouragement from his efforts in Washington State.
Next to him, the experience of O'Brien was tested again, as the former Republic of Ireland international made his second start for the club. Though still short of full match fitness, O'Brien looks a real find, as he showed defensive expertise in nullifying a couple of Sounders FC attacks, especially in the first half.
Rennie and his staff will know that, despite the bitterness of a derby defeat, players like Mitchell and O'Brien will feel they are stronger and can make a more telling contribution to the club after their building-block efforts on Saturday.
This can also be said for striker Kenny Miller, who was asked to fill the role usually occupied by suspended Robson in central midfield. His work rate at CenturyLink Field was also an encouraging sign. The way he made himself busy against Sounders FC was a strong suggestion that the Scotland international made an important step forward with his match fitness.
With a full week to focus on another derby trip to Portland Timbers, the time may prove beneficial after the hectic schedule of this past week. With injuries clearing up and suspensions served, these next few days should help to galvanize Rennie's squad physically and mentally for the end-of-season run-in.
Time to move forward to the next chapter: Saturday in Portland
As summer sunshine basked BC Place on Saturday afternoon, Whitecaps FC may have achieved more than a crucial home win over a top MLS club.
Earning three points over an accomplished side like Real Salt Lake is always something to celebrate, but supporters may have had some questions answered following the weekend's events.
Last month saw a transformation to the look of Martin Rennie's squad, and while new faces were added, the Scottish coach's roster movement also addressed the need for depth in key areas.
Facing an intriguing run-in, Vancouver's new additions will have a role to play in the remaining 10 matches of the regular season campaign.
What was a bit of a surprise was seeing Whitecaps FC's depth tested as early as the weekend battle with Salt Lake. Yet, soccer does have a way of creating unforeseen situations.
As part of the 18-man roster, Andy O'Brien might have expected to see Saturday's events unfold from the 'Caps substitutes' bench. By the half-hour mark, he was in the thick of a key MLS contest.
While the situation would have been new to him, O'Brien's experience as a top-level centre back erased any initial concerns when captain Jay DeMerit was forced out of the game after feeling the effects of a collision with teammate Brad Knighton.
The former Republic of Ireland international faced a baptism of fire that was Salt Lake's potent attack, and yet, his efforts contributed to nullifying the Utah club's forward ventures for much of the contest.
RSL offered little threat, which in itself was a surprise to see when you consider their attacking pedigree. Whitecaps FC, meanwhile, won the match with two goals in six second-half minutes.
The game's other storylines included a resurgent Camilo Sanvezzo, whose goal and an assist restored memories of the Brazilian's influence in previous matches for the Blue and White. At his best, Camilo is very difficult player to contain for any MLS club.
As for Dane Richards, his efforts in Vancouver's last two games at BC Place are quickly making him a fan favourite. It would be nice to think he will be nominated for 'MLS Goal of the Week' after his sublime winner.
Richards and teammate Darren Mattocks will not be seen Wednesday night against FC Dallas, as international duty calls with Jamaica. They are just two of several players that will not seen against FC Dallas at BC Place because national team call-ups, injuries, and suspensions.
That will put the depth of Rennie's squad to a stiffer test, with concerns over the fitness of DeMerit and the absence of Gershon Koffie through suspension for caution accumulation likely to command the media's talking points early next week.
And what would a discussion on team depth be without mentioning Knighton, who was unfortunate not to earn a clean sheet in the RSL win. When called upon this season, Knighton has been very dependable in place of Joe Cannon.
That might make for a goalkeeping selection decision for Wednesday's game, but Rennie will relish the idea of making such a choice, as with his entire squad.
Having the knowledge that any player can perform when called upon usually results in a passing grade with a test of depth. Saturday's test went well, but Wednesday's test will be more challenging.
Till we convene again on Wednesday!
