We Can Abolish Nuclear Weapons!
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
Build a Nuclear-Free Future with WILPF's DISARM Committee!
Build a Nuclear-Free Future with WILPF's DISARM Committee!
With a new president in office, now is the time to build public momentum against nuclear weapons and nuclear power. You can be part of the change, when you join WILPF's Nuclear-Free Future project!
Let's begin now to educate ourselves for effective work in our own communities. With WILPF's Reaching Critical Will resources, we'll learn about that alphabet soup of treaties and promote compliance with the NPT, ratification of the CTBT, support for a successor to the START treaty, resistance to nuclear power and more. You can choose an area to focus on.Join us in April from the 25 – 29, when we head to Washington DC with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA). We'll have special lobbying training and a chance to plan and focus our work over the next 12 months. (See our invitation flyer and registration materials for more information)
DISARM Email
The DISARM Issue Committee has scheduled an email on this day.
Keep Space for Peace Video on YouTube
Check out the cool video made by WILPF member Deetje Boler from the San Francisco Branch. The video shows WILPF women on the streets of San Francisco in early October 2008 demonstrating against the militarization of space and handing out flyers to passerbys. Several women also take the time to explain the whole PAROS (Prevent an Armed Race in Outer Space) movement and the need for the United States to sign the PAROS treaty.

WILPF Tells US Senators to Keep Space for Peace
The U.S. has been the only nation in the world to vote NO on a United Nations resolution to Prevent an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS). However a PAROS treaty is our best alternative to space weaponization and war in, from and through space. Critical votes on this issue will again come before the U.N. General Assembly in November and December.
WILPF created a petition addressed to United States Senators, urging them to support the UN Resolution and to vote yes when it comes up for a vote again.
The petition was closed to new signatures on October 24, 2008 and over 190 individuals signed it.
Please click here to view the text of the petition and see the signatures.
WILPF is in the process of distributing the petition and the signatures to our Senators.
Reaching Critical WIll E-News Advisory November 2007
Dear Reaching Critical Will friends and advisors,
The sixty-second session of the General Assembly First Committee on Disarmament and International Security closed on Friday, 2 November 2007. It was a rather uneventful session, with a few key highlights (see below). Most delegations continued to lament the lack of progress in disarmament and non-proliferation, especially in the Conference on Disarmament (CD). They called for the adoption of the comprehensive programme of work in the CD at the beginning of 2008, and expressed hope for success at the next nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee. It would be preferable if First Committee itself was used more effectively to advance the cause of disarmament and international security, rather than as a stage from which to "urge" consensus in another forum. In his remarks on 18 October, Ambassador Landman of the Netherlands paraphrased Victor Hugo, announcing that the time will come when the instruments of war, and in particular weapons of mass destruction, "will be on show in museums in the same way as today one can visit and inspect instruments of torture, fashionable in the Middle Ages and thereafter. And we would all be wondering that such weapons have existed and their use ever contemplated." To reach this point, governments, diplomats, and civil society need to not just theorize about the new (collective) security environment they envision, but to work towards it.
Best wishes,
Ray Acheson, Project Associate
Anti War Protest Targets Costa - Day 1
The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) protested at Democratic Congressman Jim Costa's office today. They were protesting against Costa's ongoing support of the war and occupation in Iraq. This is the first of a series of demonstrations at the Congressman's office this month, coordinated by several local anti war groups.
WILPF Branches around the nation commemorate Hiroshima-Nagasaki days August 6 to 9 with memorials, lantern ceremonies, vigils, education, legislative visits and non-violent direct action. In whatever way we choose to honor these days, they are a time for remembrance, penance, and rededication to the task of abolishing nuclear weapons.
Visit WILPF DISARM UPDATE for resources and ideas. Share your own fliers and event descriptions with WILPF DISARM committee (email@example.com ) for posting on WILPF websites and on the UFPJ sponsored national registry (www.August6.org) which WILPF helped create. This year some WILPF members are again participating in vigils at, and attempted dialogue with, corporations promoting and profiting from the nuclear weapons industry, as well as at government nuclear weapons facilities.

The hearing was one of four public hearings in October, required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Carol Reilley Urner, co-chair of WILPF's Disarm!

A "Towels for Veterans" donation drive is taking place through Friday on behalf of the Salvation Army Harbor Light facility, 3250 N. Monroe St.
There are 16 veterans housed at the facility, with room for up to 30 veterans. Because of budget issues, the facility is in need of donations to help with a supply of towels and washcloths for its residents.
Powerhouse Gym, 975 S. Monroe St., has offered to be a drop-off site for the effort. Another drop-off site is the home of Michael DiCarlo, 3065 Third St., LaSalle.
New or used but good condition towels and washcloths are welcome.
Mr. DiCarlo, who is organizing the campaign, is giving his pitch with the message of "just donate one towel and washcloth" to help with the need.

Bovine rotavirus (BRV) infection is common in young calves. This viral infection causes acute diarrhea leading to death. Rapid identification of infected calves is essential to control BRV successfully. Therefore development of simple, highly specific, and sensitive detection method for BRV is needed.
A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed and optimized for rapid detection of BRV. Specific primer sets were designed to target the sequences of the VP6 gene of the neonatal calf diarrhea virus (NCDV) strain of BRV. The RT-LAMP assay was performed in a water bath for 60 minutes at 63°C, and the amplification products were visualized either directly or under ultraviolet light. This BRV specific RT-LAMP assay could detect 3.32 copies of subtype A BRV. No cross-reactions were detected with other bovine pathogens. The ability of RT-LAMP to detect bovine rotavirus was further evaluated with 88 bovine rectal swab samples. Twenty-nine of these samples were found to be positive for BRV using RT-LAMP. The BRV-specific-RT-LAMP results were also confirmed by real-time RT-PCR assay.
The bovine rotavirus-specific RT-LAMP assay was highly sensitive and holds promise as a prompt and simple diagnostic method for the detection of group A bovine rotavirus infection in young calves.
Keywords:BRV; VP6 gene; Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)
Rotavirus, a double-stranded RNA virus, is a member of the family Reoviridae. Rotaviruses are classified into six, or possibly seven serogroups [1,2]. Rotavirus infections with group A are the major cause of acute diarrhea among newborn animals and humans leading to death [3,4]. Identification of infected calves, in combination with a proper vaccination program, is essential to control BRV successfully. The current methods for the detection and characterization of BRV, which include virus isolation, immunoassay, electron microscopy, and nucleic acid hybridization, are time consuming and laborious [5-7]. On the other hand, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully for the detection and characterization of BRV [8-10]. Unfortunately, PCR assays require sophisticated equipment, which is costly to maintain, and must be performed in specialized laboratories (Additional file 1: Figure S1 and S2).

The recently described loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) can amplify specific target DNA sequences with high sensitivity and can be completed within 60 minutes under isothermal conditions without the need of a thermal cycler and specialized laboratory [11]. This technique eliminates the heat denaturation step for DNA synthesis used in conventional PCR, and relies instead on auto-cycling strand displacement DNA synthesis achieved by a DNA polymerase with high strand displacement activity and a set of two specially designed inner and two outer primers. Another important feature of LAMP is a resulting color change following the addition of a fluorescent dye, making it visible to the naked eye. The LAMP assay has been used successfully to detect many pathogens [12-19] and in using reverse transcriptase, it has been further adapted for the detection of RNA viruses [15,16]. The objective of the study reported here was to develop and optimize the reverse transcription LAMP (RT-LAMP) assay for the detection of group A BRV in calves.
Cells and Virus Strains
Table 1 lists the pathogen strains used in this study and describes the following: ten group A BRV strains, five other bovine pathogens other than BRV, four negative controls, three normal bovines rectal swab samples (one each from normal bovine nasal mucus and blood sample). Nasal mucus swabs and blood samples were taken from all bovine following routine pre slaughter examination for the normal animals to be slaughter. The collection of these samples could be considered as part of regular and routine examination, therefore no official review and approval of the Guangxi Veterinary Research Institute was needed. The viruses were propagated using rhesus monkey epithelial cell line (MA-104) and grown in Eagle's minimal essential medium (MEM) according to previously described methods [6]. MEM was supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum free from BRV and BRV antibodies (Shijiqing, China). The BRV strains were titrated by plaque assay in MA-104 cells in accordance to the published protocols [6,16].
Table 1. Pathogens used and RT-LAMP assay results
DNA/RNA Extraction
Genomic viral RNA, which includes BRV and other bovine virus strains from sample cultures, was extracted from infected MA-104 cell culture supernatant, as well as from swab sample cells from normal bovine using the TRIZOL RNA extraction kit in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Mycobacterium DNA was extracted using phenol: chloroform isoamyl alcohol (1:1:24 v/v) according to the Gibco BRL manufacturer's protocol (Gibco BRL, Grand Island, New York, USA). All nucleic acid samples were stored at −70°C until use.
Design of group A specific BRV RT-LAMP primers
Primer design for Group A specific bovine rotavirus- RT-LAMP was based on the published sequence of strain neonatal calf diarrhea virus (NCDV) (GenBank, accession no. K02254.1). The NCDV sequence was aligned with the available sequences of 21 isolates (Figure 1 a & b) to identify the conserved regions using Primer Explored V4 soft ware available from: http://primerexplorer.jp/e/ webcite. A set of six primers comprised of two outer, two inner, and two loop primers was designed and is shown in Table 2. The inner primers, which are known as the forward inner primer (FIP) and the backward inner primer (BIP), each have two distinct sequences corresponding to the sense and antisense sequences of the target, one for priming the first stage, and the other for self-priming in later stages in the reaction. FIP contains F1c (complementary to F1), and the F2 sequence. BIP contains the B1c sequence (complementary to B1), and the B2 sequence. The outer primers (F3 and B3) were used in the initial steps of LAMP reactions, but later during the isothermal cycling only the inner primers were used for strand displacement DNA synthesis. Two additional loop primers (loopF and loopB) were designed to accelerate the amplification reaction as described [18]. The sequences of the selected primers were compared to VP6 gene sequences [20-22]. All the primers were synthesized and purified by Invitrogen Inc (Guangzhou, China).

Real-time RT-PCR
The sensitivity of the RT-LAMP method was compared to real-time RT-PCR using the two primers and one of the following probes: F5 (5'- TCATTTCAGTTGATGAGACCACC -3'), F6 (5'- ATTCAATTCTAAGCGTGAGTCCTAC -3'), or HEX-AATATGACACCAGCGGTAGCGGC- BHQ1. This real time RT-PCR amplifies a 112-bp target sequence of the VP6 gene of group A BRV [10]. Real-time RT-PCR amplification was carried out using the Real-time one step RT-PCR Kit (Takara, Dalian, China) as described in previously published protocol (10). After the real-time RT-PCR was performed, cycle threshold (CT) was manually setup to reflect the best kinetic PCR parameters, such that any nonspecific amplification in reaction could be analyzed.
Optimization of the RT-LAMP condition
The RT-LAMP assay was optimized using various concentrations of primers, buffers, salt and RNA/DNA templates for positive and negative controls. The reaction mixture was optimized to 25 ul, containing primers in various concentrations, 1.4 mM of each deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate, 0.8 M of betaine (Sigma Chemical Co., Beijing, China), 2.5 ul of 10 × Thermo buffer, 8 mM MgSO4, 8 U of Bst DNA polymerase (large fragment; New England Biolabs), 0.125U of enhanced Avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase, and 2 ul of the extracted target RNA. To determine the optimal duration for the RT-LAMP assay, the primer and reverse transcribed sample mixtures were incubated in a 63°C water bath for 20, 40, 60, and 80 minutes. At the end of each incubation period, the reaction was terminated by heating at 80°C for 5 minutes. The reaction temperature was optimized using 61°C, 62°C, 63°C, and 64°C.
Analysis of RT-LAMP product
In order to analyze the amplified products, three detection methods were evaluated. First, turbidity: the accumulation of magnesium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of the DNA amplification reaction, increases the turbidity of the sample. Turbidity was evaluated by visual inspection of the samples, comparing them to a negative control sample. Second, color change: 1 ml of 10,000 × SYBR Green I nucleic acid stain was added to the tube after the reaction. Samples turning yellow-green were considered positive, while samples turning orange were negative. Samples showing fluorescence under an ultraviolet hand lamp at a 365-nm wavelength were considered positive as described previously [12]. Samples were compared with a negative control to account for background fluorescence. Third, gel electrophoresis: run on a 1% agarose gel, RT-LAMP reaction end product yields a combination of DNA fragments of varying sizes [11]. Therefore, the presence of a smear or a pattern of multiple bands of different molecular weights indicates a positive result. A molecular marker was used to estimate amplified product size.
Lastly, a restriction enzyme analysis: EcoRI and EcoRV restriction of the RT-LAMP product confirms reaction specificity [14]. Briefly, digestion reactions were performed using 3 ul of RT-LAMP product with 12 U of restriction enzyme in 25 ul total volume. The size of the digested fragments was estimated by agarose gel electrophoresis as described [19].
Evaluation of RT-LAMP
To evaluate specificity, the RT-LAMP test was performed on a panel of viral isolates from bovine's reference viruses, (Table 1). The panel included three rectal and one nasal swab samples from a normal bovine, one blood sample from a normal bovine, one cell sample (repeated five times) as a negative control, ten strains of BRV, and five different bovine DNA and RNA pathogens (Table 1).
The detection limit of RT-LAMP was tested and compared with real-time RT-PCR using triplicate templates at identical concentration. RNA transcripts corresponding to the VP6 of NCDV strain were generated for use as standards in the analysis of sensitivity of the assay. Briefly, RNA was extracted from NCDV strain using the TRIZOL RNA extract reagent. The purified RNA was resuspended in distilled water and used in the RT-PCR reaction. The amplified product of VP6 was cloned into the pGM-T vector (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) according to the manufacturer's directions and sequenced to verify its identity. The recombinant plasmid pGM-T-VP6 was linearized by digestion with restriction enzyme NotI, gel purified, and used as a template with a Ribo Max T7 In Vitro Transcription System (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The length of RNA transcripts was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis. The RNA of VP6 was quantitated using UV spectrophotometry at 260 nm, and calculated copy numbers were calculated from the concentration as described previously [20]. A series of 10-fold dilutions were used to test the assay's sensitivity of BRV RT-LAMP (Figure 2).

Detection of clinical specimen by RT-LAMP assay
After validation studies, we determined the reliability of the group A specific BRV-RT-LAMP as a method of viral RNA detection for clinical specimens. Written informed consent was obtained from each participating farm owner. On participating farms, the veterinarian collected rectal swab samples from the calves. The rectal swab samples were taken from calves between 3 to 180 days age, and were considered as part of regular and routine clinical-diagnostic care. No official review and approval of Guangxi Veterinary Research Institute was needed. A total of 88 rectal swab samples were collected from calves with acute diarrhea from different dairy farms in the Guangxi province (Table 3). The samples were placed into 1 ml of sterilized water, and processed as described previously [12]. BRV-specific RT-LAMP assay was performed as described above. The results of group A specific BRV RT-LAMP were compared with the results of BRV real-time RT-PCR. Restriction enzyme analysis of RT-LAMP products and its sequencing were used to assess the reliability of the methods for the rapid detection of BRV.
Table 3. Comparison of real-time RT-PCR and RT-LAMP for the detection of BRV in clinical samples
The optimal protocol of RT-LAMP assay and inspection of products
Following standardization and optimization, the optimal ratio of primer (inner-outer-loop) concentrations for the RT-LAMP reaction was found to be 8:1:4 equivalents to 1.6, 0.2 and 0.8 mM. Gene amplification was detected by an increase in turbidity, as well as adding dye for color change indication (Figure 3). Restriction enzyme analysis performed with EcoRI and EcoRV on the RT-LAMP product validated no nonspecific reaction in RT-LAMP assay. The RT-LAMP assay amplified the 199-bp target sequence of the VP6 gene of BRV (Figure 4). For the reproducible sensitive and specific results of RT-LAMP assay, the optimal reaction time and incubation temperature was found to be 60 minutes at 63°C.

Specificity and Sensitivity of RT-LAMP assay
The bovine rotavirus-specific RT-LAMP assay specifically amplified strains NCDV-014, and 8 Guangxi field bovine rotavirus strains, which have been isolated from the Guangxi dairy farms, and exhibits no cross-reactivity with other pathogens (Table 1). This specificity was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 5) and a color change assay (Figure 3). We also determined the assay sensitivity using a 10-fold dilution series. The detection limit of RT-LAMP was 3.32 copies (Figure 2-A). Similarly, the detection limit of real-time RT-PCR analysis was 3.32 copies (Figure 2-B). The results indicate that RT-LAMP is as sensitive as real-time RT-PCR, both of which can detect 3.32 copies of bovine rotavirus VP6 gene.
Figure 5. The detection of RT-LAMP product assessed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, M:DNA marker; 1: 014 strain, 2: NCDV strain, 3: BVDV, 4:IBRV, 5:CSFV, 6:MB, 7:BCV.
Evaluation of RT-LAMP assay with clinical samples
In comparison with real-time RT-PCR, using the above described procedure with specific primers, 29 rectal swab samples (33.0%) were found positive by both real-time RT-PCR analysis and RT-LAMP, and 59 (70%) were found negative by both tests. As such, the coincidence of real-time RT-PCR and RT-LAMP was 100%. However, RT-LAMP is a quicker, easier, and more cost efficient method than real-time RT-PCR. Restriction enzyme revealed 199-bp target sequence of the VP6 gene of BRV, and sequencing analysis results showed that the clonal sequences of 29 samples were VP6 of BRV. The results indicated no nonspecific amplification in RT-LAMP reaction occurred (data not shown).
The RT-LAMP was shown here to be specific and sensitive to detect rotavirus in rectal swab samples of calves with acute diarrhea. The BRV-specific RT-LAMP primers and real time probe were designed using VP6 genes sequencing of 21 BRV isolates (Figure 1 a &b) from the Genbank data. VP6 a group-specific gene of BRV is the most immunogenic viral protein and considered to be very conserved among group A BRV and suitable to use as conserved gene specific for BRV [21-23]. The RT-LAMP was determined to be specific, as no cross-reactions were observed when other bovine pathogens were tested.
The RT-LAMP technique offers several advantages over PCR for the detection of bovine rotavirus RNA. Firstly, the RT-LAMP demonstrates high efficiency under isothermal conditions without a significant influence of non-target DNA and demonstrates sensitivity identical to that of real-time RT-PCR assays. Secondly, the RT- LAMP is easy to perform once the appropriate primers are selected and optimized. The reaction requires only four primers, a Bst DNA polymerase, and a temperature adjustable conventional laboratory water bath. Thirdly, the results of RT-LAMP are visible to the naked eye without the need for electrophoresis. This is attributable to recognition of the target sequence by six primers in the initial stage and by four primers during the later stages of the RT-LAMP reaction. The RT-LAMP system possesses specificity in addition to high sensitivity and may be used in large-scale molecular surveys of BRV infections in the field.
Nevertheless, RT-LAMP is not without caveats: First, the main challenge in development of molecular tests for BRV is the large genetic heterogeneity of this virus [3.4]. This emphasizes the need for constant updating of primers of molecular diagnostic tests for BRV, with FIP and BIP being the most important primers in the entire assay, and they need to be conserved across many strains. Second, due to its high amplification production, the issue of potential cross-contamination problems needs to be addressed. We have added dye into the reaction system before the actual amplification in order to eliminate contamination.
It should be pointed out that in utilizing theVP6 gene target for the optimization of specific primers, we would expect this BRV RT-LAMP assay to meet the practical needs of BRV detection in the field around the world. While the RT-LAMP developed here needs to be validated against rotaviruses of groups B and C and other groups, these bovine rotavirus groups have not yet been identified in cattle in southern China. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that has explored the use of RT-LAMP technology in a diagnostic test for BRV. The test was simple, specific, and rapid; it was able to detect BRV from rectal swabs from BRV-infected calves.
In this study, the established RT-LAMP assay with high sensitivity and specificity was performed in a water bath within only 60 minutes, and the amplification results were visualized by the naked eye after adding a fluorescent reagent. The newly developed assay can be used as one important tool for detecting BRV in calves under field conditions with no need for specialized equipment.

TroubleShooter Mike Baird: 09.17.07
Burned-out lamps to be replaced
Fifty-nine burned out street lamps between Harbor Bridge and Portland are being replaced; readers are responding with recycling concerns; and two more volunteer groups have adopted shorelines.
George Frondorf, strategic manager for Citgo's Corpus Christi refinery, and his wife, Susan, prowled the Nueces Bay Causeway last week counting the burned out street lights that dimmed late-night travel. They found 10 bulbs out on Harbor Bridge and its access ramps, 41 lamps dark on the causeway between the bridge and Indian Point, and eight others not working on the Portland side.
The Texas Department of Transportation and the city of Portland are responsible. Spokeswoman Frances Garza, with the transportation department, assured the Troubleshooter on Wednesday that Portland officials were notified of lights being out, and she submitted a work order for replacement of the other 51 bulbs.
"It might be next week before the lights are worked on since there are already lane closures due to bridge and causeway inspections," Garza said.
Recent Troubleshooter items about recycling have sparked responses from frustrated readers trying to go green. Janet Parish, 53, a Del Mar College student, asks if there is a Corpus Christi place that takes foam egg cartons or plastic containers that are not No. 1 or No. 2 plastic.
There are none in the Corpus Christi area, said Paul Bass, in charge of the city recycling and litter programs. He recommends buying No. 1 plastic or paper egg cartons that can be recycled locally.
Former San Antonio bar owner Jerry Weber, 67, wants to recycle, but the Marina Village RV Park off NAS Drive where he lives doesn't have city services for tenants.
Weber said he plans to talk with other residents and management to spark a park recycling plan.
Elaine Young has found an alternative with the "Freecycling" concept, which promotes online groups to keep usable items out of the landfill by giving them away.
"No longer needed items, whether new, gently used, old-fashioned, or broken, are often of interest to others," Young wrote in her e-mail response. For more information on Freecycling visit: groups.yahoo.com/group/CorpusChristiTXFreecycle.
Two new volunteer groups have adopted shoreline trash cleanup spots for one year of maintenance. Last week Preceptor, Lambda, Psi sorority, a chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, with 13 active members between ages 50 and 70, were approved to adopt the Poenisch Park shore.
"We want to show that any group, even a small one, can do this if they commit," said organizer Susie Wright, 56, a glass artist.
Another group of 15 employees at Halliburton's Corpus Christi grinding plant was approved to make a half-day monthly party of cleaning the remainder of Corpus Christi Beach not already adopted, said Al Davila, an engineer's assistant assigned to oversee the program. Sites remaining for adoption are two shoreline sections of Cole Park and Swantner Park. Others interested in adopting sites can contact Davila at 826-3587.

Oct. 26, 2011
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
It's probably fair to say that when Ray Birmingham used to look for depth on his Lobo baseball team, he had to look left and right, left and right again, and probably over his shoulder a few times.
And then he probably shook his head and muttered to himself.
But not anymore.
As much as anything, what has impressed this dynamic Lobo coach as fall practice comes to a close this week is the depth of his 2011-12 Lobos. The young pups who stumbled in the regular season of 2011, but roared to the Mountain West Tournament title and into the NCAA playoffs have grown a few teeth.
They also remember.
They remember that they didn't like the taste of a season that saw them squander away too many opportunities that turned wins into losses. They remember the sweet taste of kicking butt in the MWC tournament by throwing out a team that was clutch on the mound and clutch at the plate.
"For the first time, I can say we are two deep at every position with quality athletes," said Birmingham, who has twice massaged his young program into NCAA postseason. "We also are showing more depth on the pitching staff. We have quality in numbers. You need that for a long season.
"I can honestly say that this is the best fall we've had since I've been here."
One reason Birmingham was impressed with his fall camp comes back to his statement about quality. There were a lot of talented Lobos pushing a lot of talented Lobos.
When Birmingham divided his Lobos this week into Cherry and Silver squads for a three-game series to highlight fall ball, he put out two talented teams. The edge in the series went to the Silver squad - but just barely.
The deciding game was played Wednesday morning and it was a thriller. Birmingham should have charged admission.
There was a two-run homer by DJ Peterson that put the Cherry up 4-3 going into the bottom of the sixth.
There was a five-inning, no-hitter thrown by Austin House, a 6-foot-4 righty, who could develop into one of the top pitchers in the Mountain West.
There was a dramatic sixth-inning rally by the Silver in which some simple, fundamental baseball produced the Silvers' 5-4 win.
The Cherry team also threw out a rally. It was Peterson's first-pitch homer over the left field fence that put the Cherry up 4-3 in the sixth. That rally came after House was pulled off the Silver's mound after five innings of no-hit ball.
The Silver iced the win in the sixth when Jake Nelson walked and Cory Slater doubled to place runners on second and third. The Cherry decided to walk Trey Porras, but that strategy backfired when the next Silver batter, Chris Nunez, got on base on catcher's interference. That tied the game at 4-all, with the bases still loaded.
Michael Baca then executed a simple, fundamental play that wins ball games. He drove a grounder to the right side scoring Slater from third. That win handed the fall title to the Silver squad, but Birmingham will play two more games at Lobo Field to dip deeper into his roster and further evaluate his 2011-12 Lobos.
"I liked what I saw all fall," said Birmingham. "These guys went at each other with the competitive fire and intensity you want to see. It was almost like regional play. They played the games like they meant something and what it means is I have a lot of Lobos who don't like to lose."
The schedule Birmingham threw at his Lobos last season looked like it was too much for his young Lobos to handle - until it counted the most. UNM, the worst seed in the tourney, threw out an unbelievable four-game run in San Diego to grab the MWC tourney title and the automatic bid to NCAA play.
"We are building some tradition over here," said Birmingham. "But tradition starts in September and October with hard work. These kids seem to realize that.
"The makeup of this team is unbelievably competitive. They went after each other. I expect to see the same Lobo mentality in the spring. I had better see it. The schedule I have for these guys is again one of the tougher schedules in the country."

How to Spot a Manic Depressive Person
Three Methods:Spot Signs of ManiaSpot the Signs of DepressionSpot the Signs of a Mixed Episode
Bipolar disorder, also called manic depressive disorder, causes dramatic shifts in mood, energy level and behavior. The signs of manic depressive disorder vary widely in their severity and frequency. In general, manic depressive people experience three different mood episodes: mania, depression, and a mixed state of the two. The symptoms vary depending on the mood.
Method 1 of 3: Spot Signs of Mania
1Watch for a decrease in the amount a person sleeps. Persons suffering from mania tend to feel very energetic despite the fact that they are not getting enough sleep.Ad
2Pay attention to the speed and consistency of the person's speech. During a manic episode, people often talk so quickly and changes topics so frequently that others are not able to follow the conversation.
3Look for extreme feelings of optimism or unrealistic beliefs in the person's own abilities. This is sometimes seen in impaired judgment, recklessness or impulsive behavior.
4Notice if the person seems unfocused, distracted and unable to concentrate.
5Be aware that if someone experiences hallucinations or delusions, he or she may be experiencing an extreme form of mania. These episodes sometimes lead to misdiagnoses of schizophrenia.Ad
Method 2 of 3: Spot the Signs of Depression
1Watch for changes in sleeping patterns. During episodes of depression, a person may sleep more or less than normal, and sleep could be broken and interrupted.
2Pay attention to feelings of hopelessness, sadness or emptiness. During the periods of depression, a person suffering from bipolar disorder may not be able to find anything in life that gives him pleasure. He may lose interest in things he once cared about, including sex.
3Look for signs of fatigue, lack of energy and overall sluggishness.
4Notice if the person's appetite and weight have changed. Depression may cause a bipolar sufferer to eat more or less than normal.Ad
Method 3 of 3: Spot the Signs of a Mixed Episode
1Watch for conflicting symptoms that occur at the same time. A mixed episode of manic depressive disorder includes symptoms of both mania and depression.
2Pay attention if depression is accompanied by agitation, anxiety, irritability or restlessness.
3Look for combinations of high energy and low mood during mixed episodes.Ad

- Those with bipolar disorder should seek to eliminate stress, eat a balanced diet, get regular physical exercise, practice relaxation techniques, keep a mood journal and join a support group.
- Some people who suffer from manic depressive disorder may have seasonal mood changes the same as other seasonal affective disorders (SAD).
- If you spot the symptoms of bipolar disorder in yourself of someone else, it is important to see a doctor right away. Left untreated, bipolar disorder will progressively get worse.
- Although some manic depressive people swing quickly from one mood episode to another, some people stay in a mood episode for longer periods, making it harder to spot the mood swings.
- Treatment is an ongoing process that typically requires a combination of medication, therapy, emotional support and lifestyle changes. Antidepressants alone are not typically successful in treating this disorder.
- The risk of suicide is greatest when a person is suffering from a mixed episode. If they're talking about killing themselves, call a suicide hotline right away.

where does madelicious got its name?
Where does Madelicious got its name? In the early 80s when the famous song of Yoyoy Villame entitled " syon" in which the lyrics of the song all ended in tion/sion. E.g.consimission, constipation, ambition, participation etc. our barkada also uses the word "cious" in which all our names and root words used will end with " cious". If her name is Mary Anne and we will call her "maryannicious" and if his name is nical, we will call him "nicalicious" Example of our conversation: Mary Ann: nicalicious, punta tayong "smicious" para magshoppingicious. Nical: Sige "mary Annicious" para "mag- enjoyicious tayo. During those times, the couples were still sweethearts to hear the rings a bell to the ears of Mr. Alemania to hear the nice sounding name " Madelicious" for Madel, which sounds like "taglish" a combined tagalog words masarap and malinamnam and English word delicious. And he said that if they get married? They will have a food business naming it " Madelicious". The birth of the first restaurant was a dream come true for the couple. They even use the "cious" in their daily conversation and when greetings and entertaining their constumers.
