Hey guys. Im thinking about joining the guard as an 11B. I was wondering if anyone that was an 11B could give me their opinion and review of this mos (do you regret choosing this mos, did you enjoy it, whats it like, etc). I also have thought about 68W or 35F but I cant decide. I want the real version of 11B from the view of someone who was there. Any info is greatly appreciated!

They are the tip of the spear. The rest of us are just varying degrees of support. Do it.

As for the enlisted side, I've seen slower promotion for 11Bs because of the strength levels, however, many E9 slots (even in support BNs) are occupied by those who hold the 11B MOS.
Basically, it boils down to this "possibility": Promotion through the mid-range may be slower for Infantry, but the promotion potential is greater.
Personally, if I did not branch Infantry, I'd probably find myself wanting to do many things forbidden by the Army. Most NJ Infantry officers will tell you that the culture of the branch is very different than a support unit. Contrary to popular belief, rank means far less in an Infantry unit than most would believe. You will see sub-par/incompetent higher ranking officers get publicly humiliated by lower ranking officers and enlisted. Many officers from support units that are not used to this would probably cry and go home. Your competence and abilities mean far more than the velcro rank you wear on your chest.Last edited by Polo08816; June 15th, 2012, 10:16 PM.
Re: The reality of 11B
I think 11b's are the salt of the earth. They are vulgar, do exceedingly well on their physical fitness test, and are the type of people who you'd want to go into battle to protect this nation. It's definitely a different environment than most other types of units.
On the other hand I thought rifles were cool until I saw the artillery. 13b....
Re: The reality of 11B
I think you're asking about enlisting as a 11B, not branching as an Infantry Officer. If this is the case, 11B is probably the most challenging and prideful MOS in the Army. It really all depends on what you want out of the National Guard. If you're looking to be challenged, have a great time then by all means, go 11B. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something to build your resume and make you more "marketable" in the civilian world, look at 68W or 35F if you qualify.
Re: The reality of 11B
Its a tough but rewarding job. You have to keep physically and mentally fit. You will train until you are exhausted and keep going until you get it right. You will get dirty and stay dirty for days(or longer). Sleep in the woods or desert or swamps in all kinds of weather. Ruck for miles and miles with a ton of equipment strapped to you. You will become proficient in many skills. Weapons, patrolling, vehicles, combat lifesaver to name a few. Vulgar? yes by all means. I don't think there is any topic off limits to the 11B. Crude bunch for sure. If you have a weak stomach or are offended easily you wont fit in well. Its a great job and I can't imagine myself doing anything else.

on another note, I was talking to my 1sg today, and he was telling me about how one of his NCOs from when he was an e4 explained the army as "POG mos's are assigned different tasks, and get good at the task, and when it is done, it is done. The infantry deals with people, and leading them, meaning even the most simple tasks have the opportunity to become full blown missions, depending on the situation"
This last drill, we flew in helicopters, did full scale raids with sim rounds, and stayed out in the woods for 4 days, and that was considered normal. You will know you truly belong in the infantry if you get done training, get to your unit, band up with others in your paygrade, and complain about how horrible it is that you are stuck outside doing stuff over and over that seems pointless, then when you get home, you couldnt imagine doing anything else and finding any fulfillment in it.

The unlocked Motorola (Forge on 4G) will be the company's first offering to the 4G world. It will be released on Sprint, and will have a higher end set of specs that should make it a very popular option for many users. It will utilize a 1 GHz dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, will utilize 1 GB of RAM, and will have a 4.3 inch HD display that looks beautiful. The Motorola Borton 4G also comes with an eight megapixel camera that comes complete with dual LED flash along with a VGA front facing camera. It also has 16 GB of built-in storage along with global roaming and a 4G WiMAX connectivity that make it a very popular option for many users.
The high specs which are one of the reasons why the phone may be the best that Sprint has to offer. The device has a very futuristic style of design with rounded corners, and is a phone that has angled edges that give it a Star Trek style vibe. it comes complete with a micro USB port as well as a mini HDM I poured for you to connect to other viewing devices.
The software that the device runs on is the Android 2.3 gingerbread operating system which is considered to be one of the best. The device is one of the best that is out there on the sprints network and has been compared to the Motorola Droid three.
The voice experience on the device is not perfect but is good enough. It is not crystal clear but I want to describe it as unclear either. The battery life on the device is pretty good for the amount of specs that you were getting, and a speakerphone aspect of the device also performed well. The volume was good in the audio reproduction sounds accurate and very great overall.
In all, the device is a good one that should garner a huge following and be a device that is well reviewed by most to use it.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked Motorola phone such as unlocked Motorola Atrix, Motorola Cliq, etc..

So, I have created a blog for myself, which allows comments.
I want to display the # of comments on the web page like so....
>>>> and then the nine comments follow...
My question is this. In this example, there are 9 comments to be displayed.
How do I use PHP to echo the "9", or number of comments that are in the database?
I know this is probably a very beginner question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
Does that make sense well enough?????

I didn't have trouble with reading, that was my absolute favorite class. I got in plenty of trouble tho.
Remember a couple posts ago when I mentioned how grandma refused to let them advance me to a higher grade? Well because of that I spent two years as a very very bored child. I was so disruptive in 1st grade the teacher cut out a cardboard box to sit a three-sided screen on my desk, and made me sit in the very back of the class. This wasn't a one-time punishment, it's how I spent 1st grade.
Eventually I disliked her enough to try and glue her to her chair. Even then I knew emptying a bottle of Elmer's glue on the seat wouldn't work unless she sat in it for a loong time, but I gave it a shot. At least I got to see her walking around for an hour or two with a giant white ass. She never knew who did it.

WARREN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - State officials are praising a new program that's using prison inmates to help rehabilitate abused horses.
The program, called "Shelter Me", has been underway for about six months at the Bolduc Correctional Facility in Warren. That's a minimum security corrections facility that's also the site of the state prison farm.
The Division of Animal Welfare began the program with two horses, which had either been given up by their former owners or taken through a court order. Bolduc has two inmates who spend seven days a week caring for the animals. Bolduc work crews also renovated the barn, cut the lumber, built the fences and even harvested the hay the horses eat. The inmates assigned to the project both had horse experience earlier in their lives, and say they love the chance to work with the animals.
The Commissioners of the departments of Corrections and Agriculture came to Bolduc on Thursday to praise the program. They say besides helping horses, it provides motivation and important life skills training for the inmates. Bolduc Director Benjamin Beal told NEWS CENTER that for some inmates, working in the program would be "life changing".
Having inmates care for the horses also saves money for the state, which would otherwise have to pay to board the horses. The Division of Animal Welfare plans to offer the horses for adoption once they have been rehabilitated. Two more horses are due to arrive soon, and Bolduc officials say they could find room for a few more, if needed.

Product Details
Dodge Charger 1970, 40 Series Delta Force™ Aluminized Steel Muffler by Flowmaster®, AGGRESSIVE SOUND, 2.25" Offset Inlet / 2.25" Center Outlet, 4" Thick x 9.75" Wide x 13" Case Length x 19" Overall Length. This is the muffler that launched the success of Flowmaster. It is an aggressive sounding street/strip muffler that delivers the famous powerful "Flowmaster Sound". If you really want to hear that great muscle car tone both inside and outside the vehicle, this is the muffler for you.
- The Original High Performance Flowmaster Muffler
- Aggressive Sound for the Enthusiasts Who Love Their Exhaust to be LOUD
- Made in 16-Gauge Aluminized Steel or 409S Stainless Steel
- Fully MIG-welded for Maximum Durability
- Limited Lifetime Warranty on Stainless Steel Mufflers
The Super 40 Series mufflers are designed for the true performance enthusiasts. The flexibility and control offered by the unique Flowmaster technology has been used to build a muffler specifically for high horsepower road cars. The exterior sound has the exciting tone of a true-blooded racing engine, but subdued to legal limits. As even the most enthusiastic performance engine fan tires from constant high sound volume, the Flowmaster technology also has been used to tune the resonance sounds that reach the interior of the vehicle to a comfortable level, allowing the performance car driver to enjoy the racing music for hours on end without strain.
All Flowmaster mufflers are tuned for maximum performance. All Flowmaster mufflers produce a beautiful deep performance tone. Choosing the right Flowmaster muffler is not a technical decision – it is all up to your personal taste. It's A Sound Decision®.
Flowmaster mufflers differ in technology and tuning, and thus in tone and character, to give your performance engine a sound to your personal liking.
Flowmaster mufflers employ two unique technologies developed by the company; the patented Delta Flow and the Laminar Flow. They give different characters of sound and can be tuned to achieve the desired exhaust note. Flowmaster Exhaust System Technology is so versatile, and gives such a high degree of control, that it is used both by racers, who want maximum power, and by the U.S. Air Force in Stealth applications where maximum silence and minimum heat emissions are prime considerations. Be it for a domestic or import truck, SUV, off-road warrior, daily driver, muscle car, euro-spec cruiser or sport compact vehicle, Flowmaster always has the right muffler for you.81.32
Brand: Flowmaster Part Numbers:
Flowmaster® has its roots in solving the engine noise problems encountered by California racers in the 1980s. In 1983 Flowmaster's founder, Ray Flugger, created his first patented design of racing silencers, which dampened noise with minimal loss of power. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase mufflers." Today, the innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing.Product Reviews (2)

That's cool! What other things did folks learn at the Gathering?
I learned that you dont need a microplane to grate lemon zest. All these years, I always avoided the small holes on the box grater because I never saw the zest. Little did I know, that It does come out underneath the grater. Kerry told me to put some plastic wrap on the side where the small holes were, but I never saw the zest. I turned it over and voila, it was all there. Wow, that was a total revelation to me.
Btw, I just got home from MI. Kerry and I showed up for our train on Tuesday afternoon and we were told there were NO trains running as all the tracks in MI were being worked on. They put us on a charter bus for the ride back. We spent the night in Port Huron today, did some shopping and now we're home.
I'm going to work on my pics on Friday as I have to work tomorrow.

Starting Thursday, a series of chess matches will break out on high school football fields across the state.
By definition, scrimmages are akin to shifting pieces around on a square board. Some moves work while others produce less-than-desirable results. Regardless of what transpires during these low-pressure yet highly valuable tussles on the gridiron, coaches understand that the time has come to embark on the next phase of preseason camp following a period of steadily bringing the unit along.
"In terms of a game setting, the speed during scrimmages will definitely be ramped up more so than seen during a typical practice," explained Burrillville head man Gennaro Ferraro.
Added Cumberland's Chris Skurka: "You can evaluate yourself against somebody else who's been preparing all this time too."
Per decree of the R.I. Interscholastic League, teams must wait 10 days before scrimmaging other schools. At this stage, it's conceivable that coaches have a firm handle on the personnel roster all while implementing the varying offensive and defensive schemes that will undoubtedly be tweaked throughout the course of the season's journey.
For all the daily piercing whistles that are designed to bring practice to a screeching halt, something notable has been missing – putting a hand on the ground or on one's thigh pads and looking across the way to see a foreign face staring right back at you. Granted, scrimmages are not solely designated with the intention of providing players with a forum to slug it out with someone besides a teammate.
In the eyes of coaches, the value of scrimmages cannot be underscored.
"Obviously it allows us to go against another team and see where we stand," Shea's Dino Campopiano said. "We definitely have some kids fighting for positions so this is a good way to evaluate guys more clearly at different positions."
There's also the chance to see just how much information the players have processed and retained as it relates to making their own checks (audible calls, line blocking, etc.). This time, though, they'll be performing said tasks in a close-to-but-not-quite game situation that figures to test a player's ability to think fast on his feet.
"During the scrimmages, we look at any of the things we've installed during training camp. We'll end up scrapping some things while moving forward on other things," said Ferraro. "It's not necessarily about seeing someone else. I think the players are anticipating how they will compete against another team."
These scrimmages come with a disclaimer. They'll have a controlled vibe to them with opposing coaches likely discussing what they seek to accomplish prior to getting underway. For some coaches, the checklist may include running goal-to-go plays while others may lean toward kick-off coverage. Whatever the preface, rest assured these get-togethers will feature plenty of hands-on direction.
"You can stop what's going on and coach the kids right on the field," Campopiano mentioned.
"You're still in the midst of the learning process so it's a good chance to make some last-minute corrections," Skurka said. "It's definitely a dress rehearsal but you have the ability to go over things as needed."
Echoed Ferraro, "The scrimmages are very structured."
There's also the expectation factor as coaches are bracing for what may or may not transpire.
"You're going to get beat on a lot of plays and vice versa," was Ferraro's way of raising the caution flag. "In a scrimmage-type setting, a lot time the offense has the advantage."
The scrimmages will also include the presence of officials.
"It definitely helps the kids realize what they might have been getting away with early on during camp," Skurka said. "Having the officials there to throw a few flags, it helps put into context what (the coaching staff) may not have seen during practice and what you can improve on. They make it more of a real situation."
"The officials do a good job in making sure everyone is lined up accordingly and going through the varying procedures," says Ferraro about specific areas that the men in striped shirts will undoubtedly have their eyes fixated upon.
Pawtucket's Max Read Field will host a three-way scrimmage Thursday night that involves Shea, Exeter/West Greenwich and Johnston. On Saturday the Raiders will travel to North Smithfield before visiting to Mount Pleasant next Tuesday. For Cumberland, a matchup with Lincoln is on the docket Thursday with Saturday yielding a meeting with Portsmouth. Burrillville's first opponent will be Warwick Vets on Friday with an encounter with La Salle Academy scheduled for Monday.
Woonsocket will scrimmage Central Falls and Cranston East with Tolman facing Rogers on Thursday and Narragansett on Saturday.
Once the scrimmages are in the books, the next item on the docket is to get ready for the Injury Fund, a two-quarter exhibition that for some teams will take place next Thursday, Aug. 30 while others will get after it on Friday, Aug. 31.
"The Injury Fund will be the first situation where the coaches aren't on the field with the players," said Campopiano about yet another checkpoint that leads up to the commencement of the regular season.

It is sometimes hard for us mortals to distinguish the difference between Goth kids and Emo kids. All we know is that they both share a common passion for the color black, a mutual distaste for their parents and society, and an fatal allergy for everything that is considered normal and within the norm of things. To shed some further light on today's troubled youth, we have collected the ten most obscure photos of Emo kids as well as Goth kids we could find. Not to ridicule or make fun of, but more to observe and understand.
First, let's identify the true characteristics of an Emo Kid. We could settle with linking to the appropriate Wikipedia page, but will instead include this photo explaining the epitomy of an Emo Kid.
10. The Slightly Obese Gang Sign Flashing, Yet Conservative, Emo Kid
9. The Sado Masocist Emo Kids
8. The Company of Three
7. The Roleplaying "I'm a Dark Wizzard" Emo Kid
6. The "I Borrow My Mom's Makeup" Emo Kid
5. The Samurai Emo Kid
4. The Slightly Insane Emo Kid
3. The Straight A's Emo Kid
2. The Puppy Eyed Red Mascara Emo Kid
1. The Miserable Emo Kid Roadtripping with the Family

What happens to owners when their dogs attack?
A pit bull attack that took the life of a poodle named Fabian led to an Arizona low holding owners accountable for the dangerous actions of their dogs.
Reporter: Stephani Ruiz
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Governor Jan Brewer signed Fabian's Law last April. Its aim was to increase penalties for owners of dogs considered to be "vicious".
A Glendale couple lobbied state lawmakers to go after owners of vicious dogs after their miniature poodle, Fabian, was mauled to death in 2009. The culprit- a neighbor's unleashed pit bull.
"The dog just gripped all right here," Sally Andradesot said, pointing to her dog's body. "According to emergency vets, it punctured his lungs and he had no chance of surviving."
"I cannot describe the emotions I was going through," Richard Andradesot said. "He was my buddy. He was my friend."
The couple pushed for the law after learning they couldn't hold the pit bull's owner accountable for their pet's death. Now, if a dog attacks another dog, it's a Class 1 Misdemeanor. That can carry six months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
If a person causes a dog to bite a person without justification, it's a Class 3 Felony, which can carry multiple years in jail.
Fabian's Law also requires an owner to keep an aggressive dog from escaping from a home or a yard.
Even with Fabian's Law, some Tucson residents are pushing for an outright ban on dangerous dog breeds. During a 9 On Your Side investigation last month, we asked City Councilor Steve Kozachik his opinion.
"I've got a problem with breed specific legislation," Kozachik said. "To take a broad brush and say this breed, we're going to get rid of it, is an overstretch."
In last month's investigation, we contacted five cities that banned pit bulls to see if there was a decrease in bites and attacks. Bottom line- there's no conclusive evidence that breed specific bans always work.

KENTLAND, Md. (WUSA) -- Wednesday morning, a child who was allegedly abducted by his father in the 7500 block of Landover Road was found at school, say authorities.
Wednesday morning, the father allegedly took the 4-year-old boy from a gas station on Landover Road and fled with the boy in a black car.The car, which had DC tags, was reportedly found in a driveway outside a house on Hawthorne Street.
Eight police officers were outside the home for a while but later left the scene.
Then, the boy was later found at his school and his father may have taken him there.
Some possible charges are pending, we are told.
Police are still trying to hammer out some details, such as who has custody of the boy.

POTSDAM It will be at least early 2014 before Oral Nick Hillarys federal complaint that he wrongfully was identified by village police as a suspect in a childs murder will come to trial, according to documents filed Thursday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse.
Mr. Hillary, head soccer coach at Clarkson University, filed state Supreme Court action in Canton in September claiming police illegally detained him and damaged his reputation by making statements that implicated him in the death of 12-year-old Garrett J. Phillips, who was strangled Oct. 24, 2011, in the youths upstairs apartment at North Country Manor Apartments, 100 Market St. Mr. Hillary was not charged with a crime and no arrest has been made in connection with the boys death.
Mr. Hillarys civil case against the village was transferred to federal court in November because he is claiming that his federal constitutional rights were violated. Among other claims, he contends he was subjected to unreasonable search and seizure and was deprived of due process when police questioned him in October 2011.
The village has filed a response denying the allegations, asserting, among other things, that village police are entitled to qualified immunity from prosecution in the matter because they acted in a reasonable manner, with probable cause, in good faith, without malice and their actions were justified.
According to a uniform pretrial scheduling order signed Thursday by Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles, the soonest the matter can be scheduled for trial is Jan. 31, 2014. That is the deadline the judge set for filing any dispositive motions. If no motions are filed, the motion filing date becomes the trial ready date in which both parties inform the court they are prepared to proceed to trial. If motions are filed, the trial ready date becomes the date that a judge decides the motions. A jury trial, which both sides are requesting, is expected to last five days, according to the judges order.

Blind Chance (Przypadek)
Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blind Chance was originally titled Przypadek. Boguslaw Linda plays a middle-aged man at a crossroads of his life; whatever choice he makes for his future has the potential of ending in disaster. A sudden accident forces Linda to choose immediately. In keeping with the transcendental nature of his best work, director Kieslowski contrives to permit Linda to sample each of three possible futures from three different points of view. Like many of Kieslowski's films, Blind Chance was officially banned when completed in 1982 (the plot was set in motion by the government clampdowns of 1981) and not permitted a public showing until 1987. The film is also known as The Accident.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Hi, I set set up a group about 6 weeks ago and am looking for some more members to join with similar ideological stances on issues such as Europe. Please join and we can have some real intellectual debate on key issues in the UK and comment on National Conservatism globally.
National Conservatism is a nationalistic branch of Conservatism which tends to be both Right Wing and Euro-Sceptic or Anti-EU. It is one of the worlds fastest growing ideologies and has gained massive ground only in the last few years as it is a fairly new ideology. National Conservative Political Parties are present in 40 countries around the world on every continent and continue to suceed and develop globally.

Huron County Right to Life March - Click HERE to see pictures
another bunch of backwards rednecks
What hypocrites !
What hypocrites !
hyprocrites for standing up for what you believe. I think not.
Jackel, Prove to me how exactly are these people who are marching for what they believe in being hypocrites?
Very simple, because the majority of them support The Abortion at Will Party.Not only do they support it,they hold office in it.One of them even had the audacity to wear a KOC Uniform in the parade in past years..You can 't have it both ways,I doubt if it worked for Hitler.He was the biggest mass murderer in history until now !
There are tens of millions of children whose lives were destroyed in abortion, and those lives will never have chance to march in a Right to life parade.
otis! thats so funny, you crack me up. thanks for the smile
who do you have to go to, and what kind of permit do you have to have , to hold a "parade" and close off Main street???? would the KKK be allowed the same right to close off Main street for their march? how about "skin heads"?? If I were to gather people who are tired of the slap on the wrist Justice that our current law team is providing. can I also close off Main street for that march???
Swiss, if you would like to march on Main street, please feel free. Just let us know when you're going to do it so we can all be there.
The Declaration of Independence mentions some basic "inalienable" rights as: "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
At what age in human development should those "rights" begin to be protected by the govt.?
I think it will soon be after you have been dead and buried for a couple years.
Right 2 Life
i give these people alot of creidt. they have enough courage to standup for what they believe in. most people in this world dont do that, regaurdless of what they believe.
i give these people alot of creidt. they have enough courage to standup for what they believe in. most people in this world dont do that, regaurdless of what they believe.
@ spoiled3 : Considering,the number of ways there are to look at abortion. I am " pro-mind my own business " on this topic.
Still, I believe your comment tells an amazingly accurate story of the human race: Most people will not stand up for what they believe. Regardless, of what they believe.
In my opinion,you are very wise. Thanks for sharing
Perhaps the mayor could answer you questions
Covered under the freedom to assemble clause just maybe
with all due respect.. I think that freedom of assembly is one thing.. especially if you are assembling inside or even outside in one location. To close off Main street in both directions for a cause seems like something more than freedom of assembly to me.
Swiss, Today I seen a opinion cartoon that may help you to understand why those people were marching.
In it you have a bunch of babies looking down from heaven at the celibrations of Roe v Wade.
The one in front says "There are 55,000,000 of us that will not get to celibrate 40 years."
propman... what are you talking about???? did I say I didn't understand why people were marching?? No I did NOT.. I know why they are marching and protesting.. my question is how do you get to close off all of Main street to march about anything????what causes are able to get the Main street closed?? If people wanted to walk, in protest of the light sentences that are handed down to people for severe animal abuse.. could we get Main Street Closed???I would have to believe that if one group can do it, it should be the same if the KKK wanted to march, or anyone at all...I won't even get into how hypocritical Most of the walkers are... so don't even ask me...
While the debate of who is right and who is wrong will never be solved with this topic. Tax dollars should not fund abortion, that is unconstitutional.
IMO, abortion on demand should either be handled as a Constitutional Amend. or a States' rights issue.
States' rights is how the gay marriage issue is unfolding and IMO, abortion on demand should be no different.
We have 50 laboratories of democracy. One-size-fits-all diktats amounts to tyranny of the majority over the minority.
If the Progressives want to abort themselves into extinction - so be it.
"Everybody that is for abortion has already been born." Ronald Reagan
It amazes me that the politicians pushing more gun controls and groups supporting them are the same ones that want abortions for any reason at any time.
In the US we have an average over 3,200 abortions a day, That equals 160+ Sandy hook shootings a day
Both are tragedies but which one is still happening EVERY DAY?

Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome Overview
Patient Comments
The earliest known depiction of a person with Down syndrome is an angel in a Flemish painting dated 1515. In 1866, Doctor John Langdon Down first described Down syndrome as a disorder, but he misunderstood how Down syndrome arises. The cause of Down syndrome was discovered rather recently in 1959.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder and the most common cause of cognitive impairment. All individuals with Down syndrome have mild to moderate learning disabilities, distinctive facial features, and low muscle tone (hypotonia) in early infancy. Down syndrome is also often associated with heart defects,leukemia, and early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The degree to which an individual is affected by these characteristics varies from mild to severe.
Due to recent advances in medical care and social inclusion, life expectancy has increased dramatically for individuals with Down syndrome. A majority of infants with Down syndrome survive 1 year, and half of people with Down syndrome live longer than 50 years. The average life span is greater than 55 years.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
With peritoneal dialysis (PD), you have some choices in treating advanced and permanent kidney failure. Since the 1980s, when PD first became a practical and widespread treatment for kidney failure, much has been learned about how to make PD more effective and minimize side effects. Since you don't have to schedule dialysis sessions at a center, PD gives you more control. You can give yourself treatments at home, at work, or on trips. But this independence makes it especially important that you work closely with your health care team: your nephrologist, dialysis nurse, dialysis technician, dietitian, and social worker. But the most important members of your health care team are you and your family. By learning about your treatment, you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible results, and you can lead a full, active life.
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
In PD, a soft tube called a catheter is used to fill your abdomen with a cleansing liquid called dialysis solution. The walls of your abdominal cavity are lined with a membrane called the peritoneum, which allows waste products and extra fluid to pass from your blood into the dialysis solution. The solution contains a sugar called dextrose that will pull wastes and extra fluid into the abdominal cavity. These wastes and fluid then leave your body when the dialysis solution is drained. The used solution, containing wastes and extra fluid, is then thrown away. The process of draining and filling is called an exchange and takes about 30 to 40 minutes. The period the dialysis solution is in your abdomen is called the dwell time. A typical schedule calls for four exchanges a day, each with a dwell time of 4 to 6 hours. Different types of PD have different schedules of daily exchanges.
One form of PD, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), doesn't require a machine. As the word ambulatory suggests, you can walk around with the dialysis solution in your abdomen. Another form of PD, continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), requires a machine called a cycler to fill and drain your abdomen, usually while you sleep. CCPD is also sometimes called automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).
Whether you choose an ambulatory or automated form of PD, you'll need to have a soft catheter placed in your abdomen. The catheter is the tube that carries the dialysis solution into and out of your abdomen. If your doctor uses open surgery to insert your catheter, you will be placed under general anesthesia. Another technique requires only local anesthetic. Your doctor will make a small cut, often below and a little to the side of your navel (belly button), and then guide the catheter through the slit into the peritoneal cavity. As soon as the catheter is in place, you can start to receive solution through it, although you probably won't begin a full schedule of exchanges for 2 to 3 weeks. This break-in period lets you build up scar tissue that will hold the catheter in place.
The standard catheter for PD is made of soft tubing for comfort. It has cuffs made of a polyester material, called Dacron, that merge with your scar tissue to keep it in place. The end of the tubing that is inside your abdomen has many holes to allow the free flow of solution in and out.
The type of PD you choose will depend on the schedule of exchanges you would like to follow, as well as other factors. You may start with one type of PD and switch to another, or you may find that a combination of automated and nonautomated exchanges suits you best. Work with your health care team to find the best schedule and techniques to meet your lifestyle and health needs.
If you choose CAPD, you'll drain a fresh bag of dialysis solution into your abdomen. After 4 to 6 or more hours of dwell time, you'll drain the solution, which now contains wastes, into the bag. You then repeat the cycle with a fresh bag of solution. You don't need a machine for CAPD; all you need is gravity to fill and empty your abdomen. Your doctor will prescribe the number of exchanges you'll need, typically three or four exchanges during the day and one evening exchange with a long overnight dwell time while you sleep.
CCPD uses an automated cycler to perform three to five exchanges during the night while you sleep. In the morning, you begin one exchange with a dwell time that lasts the entire day.
If you've chosen CAPD, you may have a problem with the long overnight dwell time. It's normal for some of the dextrose in the solution to cross into your body and become glucose. The absorbed dextrose doesn't create a problem during short dwell times. But overnight, some people absorb so much dextrose that it starts to draw fluid from the peritoneal cavity back into the body, reducing the efficiency of the exchange. If you have this problem, you may be able to use a minicycler (a small version of a machine that automatically fills and drains your abdomen) to exchange your solution once or several times overnight while you sleep. These additional, shorter exchanges will minimize solution absorption and give you added clearance of wastes and excess fluid.
If you've chosen CCPD, you may have a solution absorption problem with the daytime exchange, which has a long dwell time. You may find you need an additional exchange in the mid-afternoon to increase the amount of waste removed and to prevent excessive absorption of solution.
Infection is the most common problem for people on PD. Your health care team will show you how to keep your catheter bacteria-free to avoid peritonitis, which is an infection of the peritoneum. Improved catheter designs protect against the spread of bacteria, but peritonitis is still a common problem that sometimes makes continuing PD impossible. You should follow your health care team's instructions carefully, but here are some general rules:
Keep a close watch for any signs of infection and report them so they can be treated promptly. Here are some signs to watch for:
A transfer set is tubing that connects the bag of dialysis solution to the catheter. When your catheter is first placed, the exposed end of the tube will be securely capped to prevent infection. Under the cap is a universal connector.
When you start dialysis training, your dialysis nurse will provide a transfer set. The type of transfer set you receive depends on the company that supplies your dialysis solution. Different companies have different systems for connecting to your catheter.
Connecting the transfer set requires sterile technique. You and your nurse will wear surgical masks. Your nurse will soak the transfer set and the end of your catheter in an antiseptic solution for 5 minutes before making the connection. The nurse will wear rubber gloves while making the connection.
Depending on the company that supplies your solution, your transfer set may require a new cap each time you disconnect from the bag after an exchange. With a different system, the tubing that connects to the transfer set includes a piece that can be clamped at the end of an exchange and then broken off from the tubing so that it stays on the transfer set as a cap until it is removed for the next exchange. Your dialysis nurse will train you in the aseptic (germ-free) technique for connecting at the beginning of an exchange and disconnecting at the end. Follow instructions carefully to avoid infection.
Transfer set. Between exchanges, you can keep your catheter and transfer set hidden inside your clothing. At the beginning of an exchange, you will remove the disposable cap from the transfer set and connect it to a Y-tube. The branches of the Y-tube connect to the drain bag and the bag of fresh dialysis solution. Always wash your hands before handling your catheter and transfer set, and wear a surgical mask whenever you connect or disconnect.
During an exchange, you can read, talk, watch television, or sleep.
The first step of an exchange is to drain the used dialysis solution from the peritoneal cavity into the drain bag. Near the end of the drain, you may feel a mild "tugging" sensation that tells you most of your fluid is gone.
After the used solution is removed from your abdomen, you will close or clamp the transfer set and let some of the fresh solution flow directly into the drain bag. This flushing step removes air from the tubes.
The final step of the exchange is to refill the peritoneal cavity with fresh dialysis solution from the hanging bag.
Dialysis solution comes in 1.5-, 2-, 2.5-, or 3-liter bags. A liter is slightly more than 1 quart. The dialysis dose can be increased by using a larger bag, but only within the limit of the amount your abdomen can hold. The solution contains a sugar called dextrose, which pulls extra fluid from your blood. Your doctor will prescribe a formula that fits your needs.
You'll need a clean space to store your bags of solution and other supplies. You may also need a special heating device to warm each bag of solution to body temperature before use. Most solution bags come in a protective outer wrapper that allows for microwave heating. Do not microwave a bag of solution after it has been removed from its wrapper because microwaving can change the chemical makeup of the solution.
The cycler-which automatically fills and drains your abdomen, usually at night while you sleep-can be programmed to deliver specified volumes of dialysis solution on a specified schedule. Most systems include the following components:
Solution storage. At the beginning of the session, you connect bags of dialysis solution to tubing that feeds the cycler. Most systems include a separate tube for the last bag because this solution may have a higher dextrose content so that it can work for a day-long dwell time.
Pump. The pump sends the solution from the storage bags to the heater bag before it enters the body and then sends it to the disposal container or drain line after it's been used. The pump doesn't fill and drain your abdomen; gravity performs that job more safely.
Heater bag. Before the solution enters your abdomen, a measured dose is warmed to body temperature. Once the solution is the right temperature and the previous exchange has been drained, a clamp is released to allow the warmed solution to flow into your abdomen.
Fluid meter. The cycler's timer releases a clamp to let the used dialysis solution drain from your abdomen into a disposal container or drain line. As the solution flows through the tube, a fluid meter in the cycler measures and records how much solution has been removed. Some systems compare the amount of solution inserted with the amount drained and display the net difference between the two volumes. This lets you know whether the treatment is removing enough fluid from your body.
Disposal container or drain line. After the used solution is weighed, it's pumped to a disposal container that you can throw away in the morning. With some systems, you can dispose of the used fluid directly by stringing a long drain line from the cycler to a toilet or bathtub.
Alarms. Sensors will trigger an alarm and shut off the machine if there's a problem with inflow or outflow.
To see if the exchanges are removing enough waste products, such as urea, your health care team must perform several tests. These tests are especially important during the first weeks of dialysis to determine whether you're receiving an adequate amount, or dose, of dialysis.
The peritoneal equilibration test (often called the PET) measures how much sugar has been absorbed from a bag of infused dialysis solution and how much urea and creatinine have entered into the solution during a 4-hour exchange. The peritoneal transport rate varies from person to person. If you have a high rate of transport, you absorb sugar from the dialysis solution quickly and should avoid exchanges with a very long dwell time because you're likely to absorb too much solution from such exchanges.
In the clearance test, samples of used solution drained over a 24-hour period are collected, and a blood sample is obtained during the day when the used solution is collected. The amount of urea in the used solution is compared with the amount in the blood to see how effective the PD schedule is in removing urea from the blood. For the first months or even years of PD treatment, you may still produce small amounts of urine. If your urine output is more than several hundred milliliters per day, urine is also collected during this period to measure its urea concentration.
From the used solution, urine, and blood measurements, your health care team can compute a urea clearance, called Kt/V, and a creatinine clearance rate (adjusted to body surface area). The residual clearance of the kidneys is also considered. These measurements will show whether the PD prescription is adequate.
If the laboratory results show that the dialysis schedule is not removing enough urea and creatinine, the doctor may change the prescription by
For more information about testing the effectiveness of your dialysis, see the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) fact sheet Peritoneal Dialysis Dose and Adequacy.
One of the big problems with PD is that patients sometimes don't perform all of the exchanges prescribed by their medical team. They either skip exchanges or sometimes skip entire treatment days when using CCPD. Skipping PD treatments has been shown to increase the risk of hospitalization and death.
Normally the PD prescription factors in the amount of residual, or remaining, kidney function. Residual kidney function typically falls, although slowly, over months or even years of PD. This means that more often than not, the number of exchanges prescribed, or the volume of exchanges, needs to increase as residual kidney function falls.
The doctor should determine your PD dose on the basis of practice standards established by the National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-DOQI). Work closely with your health care team to ensure that you get the proper dose, and follow instructions carefully to make sure you get the most out of your dialysis exchanges.
Your kidneys do much more than remove wastes and extra fluid. They also make hormones and balance chemicals in your system. When your kidneys stop working, you may have problems with anemia and conditions that affect your bones, nerves, and skin. Some of the more common conditions caused by kidney failure are fatigue, bone problems, joint problems, itching, and restless legs.
Anemia is a condition in which the volume of red blood cells is low. Red blood cells carry oxygen to cells throughout the body. Without oxygen, cells can't use the energy from food, so someone with anemia may tire easily and look pale. Anemia can also contribute to heart problems.
Anemia is common in people with kidney disease because the kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Diseased kidneys often don't make enough EPO, and so the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells. EPO is available commercially and is commonly given to patients on dialysis.
For more information about the causes of and treatments for anemia in kidney failure, see the NIDDK fact sheet Anemia in Kidney Disease.
The term "renal" describes things related to the kidneys. Renal osteodystrophy, or bone disease of kidney failure, affects up to 90 percent of dialysis patients. It causes bones to become thin and weak or malformed and affects both children and adults. Symptoms can be seen in growing children with kidney disease even before they start dialysis. Older patients and women who have gone through menopause are at greater risk for this disease.
For more information about the causes of this bone disease and its treatment in dialysis patients, see the NIDDK fact sheet Renal Osteodystrophy.
Many people treated with peritoneal dialysis complain of itchy skin. Itching is common even in people who don't have kidney disease; with kidney failure, however, itching can be made worse by uremic toxins in the blood that dialysis doesn't adequately remove. The problem can also be related to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Some people have found dramatic relief after having their parathyroid glands removed. But a cure that works for everyone has not been found. Phosphate binders seem to help some people; others find relief after exposure to ultraviolet light. Still others improve with EPO shots. A few antihistamines (Benadryl, Atarax, Vistaril) have been found to help; also, capsaicin cream applied to the skin may relieve itching by deadening nerve impulses. In any case, taking care of dry skin is important. Applying creams with lanolin or camphor may help.
Patients on dialysis often have insomnia, and some people have a specific problem called sleep apnea syndrome. Episodes of apnea are breaks in breathing during sleep. Over time, these sleep disturbances can lead to "day-night reversal" (insomnia at night, sleepiness during the day), headache, depression, and decreased alertness. The apnea may be related to the effects of advanced kidney failure on the control of breathing. Treatments that work with people who have sleep apnea, whether they have kidney failure or not, include losing weight, changing sleeping position, and wearing a mask that gently pumps air continuously into the nose, called nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Many people on dialysis have trouble sleeping at night because of aching, uncomfortable, jittery, or restless legs. You may feel a strong impulse to kick or thrash your legs. Kicking may occur during sleep and disturb a bed partner throughout the night. Theories about the causes of this syndrome include nerve damage and chemical imbalances.
Moderate exercise during the day may help, but exercising a few hours before bedtime can make it worse. People with restless leg syndrome should reduce or avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco; some people also find relief with massages or warm baths. A class of drugs called benzodiazepines, often used to treat insomnia or anxiety, may help as well. These prescription drugs include Klonopin, Librium, Valium, and Halcion. A newer and sometimes more effective therapy is levodopa (Sinemet), a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease.
Sleep disorders may seem unimportant, but they can impair your quality of life. Don't hesitate to raise these problems with your nurse, doctor, or social worker.
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is common in people who have been on dialysis for more than 5 years. DRA develops when proteins in the blood deposit on joints and tendons, causing pain, stiffness, and fluid in the joints, as is the case with arthritis. Working kidneys filter out these proteins, but dialysis is not as effective. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Amyloidosis and Kidney Disease.
You can do your exchanges in any clean space, and you can take part in many activities with solution in your abdomen. Even though PD gives you more flexibility and freedom than hemodialysis, which requires being connected to a machine for 3 to 5 hours three times a week, you must still stick to a strict schedule of exchanges and keep track of supplies. You may have to cut back on some responsibilities at work or in your home life. Accepting this new reality can be very hard on you and your family. A counselor or social worker can help you cope.
Many patients feel depressed when starting dialysis, or after several months of treatment. Some people can't get used to the fact that the solution makes their body look larger. If you feel depressed, you should talk with your social worker, nurse, or doctor because depression is a common problem that can often be treated effectively.
Eating the right foods can help improve your dialysis and your health. You may have chosen PD over hemodialysis because the diet is less restrictive. With PD, you're removing wastes from your body slowly but constantly, while in hemodialysis, wastes may build up for 2 or 3 days between treatments. You still need to be very careful about the foods you eat, however, because PD is much less efficient than working kidneys. Your clinic has a dietitian to help you plan meals. Follow the dietitian's advice closely to get the most from your dialysis treatments. You can also ask your dietitian for recipes and titles of cookbooks for patients with kidney disease. Following the restrictions of a diet for kidney failure might be hard at first, but with a little creativity, you can make tasty and satisfying meals.
The National Kidney Foundation has a brochure on Nutrition and Peritoneal Dialysis, which gives general guidelines on calorie and nutrient intake. See the "Additional Reading" section for contact information.
Treatment for kidney failure is expensive, but Federal health insurance programs pay much of the cost, usually up to 80 percent. Often, private insurance or State programs pay the rest. Your social worker can help you locate resources for financial assistance. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Financial Help for Treatment of Kidney Failure.
The NIDDK, through its Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases, supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for patients with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including patients on PD.
The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation. The research focuses on reusing hemodialysis membranes and using alternative dialyzer sterilization methods; devising more efficient, biocompatible membranes; refining high-flux hemodialysis; and developing criteria for dialysis adequacy. The program also seeks to increase kidney graft and patient survival and to maximize quality of life.
The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about the use of dialysis and transplantation to treat kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the NIDDK in conjunction with the Health Care Financing Administration. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report, which characterizes the total population of people being treated for kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatment modalities. The report also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues.

Dr. Lublin was very nice and explained things carefully before surgery as well as afterward. I was very confident with his care before and after. He came in late on a Sunday to the ER to talk to me.

Dr. Lublin repaired an inguinal hernia for me. He assured me I would be able to return to my normal, high level of physical activity with no restrictions. I am very satisfied with the results and recommend Dr Lublin highly. Today, 46 days after the surgery, I was in the gym doing deadlifts. Of course, I am starting light, but still, I did 25 lifts with 140 pounds, and 3 partial lifts with 225 pounds. I do feel some tenderness in the area after doing this so I will wait a week before trying it again. I have walked an hour each day since day 3, as vigorously as possible, and I began stretching gently as soon as it felt ok. There is often some tenderness at various times. I can see and feel myself getting better each day. Very good results, thus far.

Dr. Lublin has a wonderful sense of humor and a very direct, genuine manner. He explained my procedure clearly and always felt I was in good hands. Unlike many specialists, his office is efficient, on time, and very friendly.

Dr. Lublin took out 1/2 of my thyroid. He was patient and answered all of my questions, he drew pictures when I didn't understand and he calmed me down because I was very nervous. He did an excellent job and the scare is so small that even now you can hardly see it. I would recommend him to anyone contemplating this surgery. I couldn't be more pleased.

My over all experience with Dr. Lublin as a Surgeon was spot on. He catered to my concerns, answered my questions, and was always polite. I felt that Dr. lublin did exactly what he felt was necessary as a doctor and by doing this he had my safety and comfort as his top most priority. I can tell you that I'm completely recovered and I now have a freedom in my life that I haven't been able to experience in a very longtime. Also, I no longer suffer from chronic pain and I'm 100% cure. Dr. Lublin haspermanently changed my life for the better and I thank him so very much for his time and dedication in helping me with my illness. I wish you all the best in your life.

I went to Dr. Lublin to have a lypoma removed from my back. He did a great job telling me my various options (general vs. local anesthesia). He was friendly and personable throughout the procedure, even talking with me during it to help me take my mind off the fact that he was cutting / pulling a weird lump of fat out of my back! He even was cool with letting my wife take a picture of the procedure in the middle of it, and letting us take a picture of the thing after he'd taken it out. He scheduled a follow-up visit, and was very prompt in seeing me when I showed up. Now that the bandage is off, I'm amazed at how small the incision he made was to take out such a large lypoma. The lypoma itself was probably about 2-2.5 inches across; the incision was about an inch. It's healed nicely, and I imagine the scar will not be very noticeable, if at all. I highly recommend him! *Note: the amount I paid was after I'd reached my $300 deductible, which I'd have had to pay anyway somewhere else.

Would highly recommend Dr. Lublin to anyone who is in need of corrective surgery for a hernia of any kind. I was given a prompt appointment, seen with a very short wait time, and diagnosed very quickly. Decided to schedule surgery to repair my hernia, everything commenced on schedule, and I was out of surgery in less than 1 hour. This was outpatient surgery, so I was home recovering for the next two days. I went back to work on light duty and have been back ever since. Dr. Lublin is an excellent surgeon who performed a very neat procedure on me, and if you are looking at hernia repair, you found the right surgeon.

I ended up in hospital with an abscess and Dr. Lublin was assigned to me. I was very happy with him and then chose to have him perform my surgery to remove my appendix. Would definitely recommend him to my friends

Dr. Lublin and his staff are corteous and highly professional. Easy to obtain and appointment and the wait time was always under 10 minutes. Dr. Lublin was attentive before and after surgery. He fully explained my surgeries and called me back within a couple of minutes when I had questions (very impressive). Excellent surgeon, no complications, and great care. I highly recommended Dr. Lublin.

Importance of Gender-Disaggregated Data
Learning in the field of population and development has been spurred by research analyzing links between population phenomena and reproductive health, human rights, gender equality and poverty, among other issues. These linkages underpin the 1994 ICPD Programme of Action, which guides UNFPA's work.
ICPD called upon governments and development agencies to support a wide range of research to inform public policy and improve programming strategies. Women's roles and status, spatial mobility of populations and differentials in morbidity and mortality within population subgroups were singled out as pressing concerns. The implications of changing population age structures for countries' development also need to be taken into account by planners.
A more recent, important aspect of research is to identify determining factors for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to track progress toward their achievement.
For the past 30 years, UNFPA has played a lead operational role in helping to build countries' capacities for data collection and analysis. A current focus of UNFPA support is successful implementation of the 2010 round of population and housing censuses (2005-2014). The data collected will be crucial for measuring progress toward achievement of the MDGs and for providing an evidence base that can guide national policymaking.
At the global level, UNFPA encourages population studies knowledge-sharing and networking through its support to institutions, such as the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP). In addition to its work in the area of census, UNFPA supports qualitative and quantitative surveys, and population and development-related research at global, regional and country levels.
To further this work, UNFPA has also initiated an interactive, online tracking tool that provides access to a wide range of information about the data collection activities of reporting countries.

Driving on an unfamiliar stretch of interstate outside an unfamiliar Ohio city, a decision was made to steer off onto a dimly lit street.
It was just before midnight about a week ago. The immediate destination was the familiar yellow-and-black Waffle House sign glowing near the exit. Nothing else seemed to be open at that hour.

You've only read 1984 two times....you poor bastard - I think I read like like 3 or 4 times.1984 was good. I'm actually reading it for the second time right now (actually, I've been 'reading it for the second time' for about a year now. I read it at school as my reading book, only gets read for about 10 minutes per day, not including weekends or holidays... )
I also like the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy! ;D

POTSDAM - The end of one drought extended another on Friday as the Canton Central girls basketball team outlasted Salmon River 51-47 in the Section 10 Overall Championship Game at SUNY Potsdams Jerry Welsh Gymnasium.
After watching this game, you cant tell me that it didnt mean anything for these teams. They went right at each other and battled each other for 32 minutes, said coach Mike Meyers after the Lady Golden Bears overcame a strong start by the Lady Shamrocks then scored the final four points of the game to capture their first overall title since 1977.
We knew Salmon River was going to give us a good game but our girls really stepped it up toward the end. They didnt panic. They got some big stops defensively and they came up with a couple of big plays on offense when they needed. This is just such a big win for our program, he added.
The victory completed a championship trifecta for the Lady Bears, who entered the game having already claimed the NAC Central Division regular season banner and their first Section 10 Class C championship since 1996. They will now get set to open the New York State playoffs on Tuesday when they travel to SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury to take on the Section 2 champion starting at 6 p.m.
The Class B champion Lady Shamrocks were making their third straight appearance in the overall championship game and were looking to reverse a pair of lopsided regular season losses to Canton including a 61-44 setback in their division opener on December 4th.
Weve come a long way since that first loss to Canton, noted coach Karen Francis, who was hoping to lead the Lady Shamrocks to their first overall sectional crown since 1982.
Our girls gave it everything they had tonight. They played awesome defense and on offense, it came down to a couple of missed layups, a couple of turnovers and a couple of missed foul shots. Those little things added up, she added. This game really could have gone either way.
The Lady Shamrocks draw an opening round bye for the state Class B playoffs. They will now gear up to host a quarter-final round game next Saturday at SUNY Potsdam at 1:45 p.m. against the winner of a first round game between the Section 2 and Section 7 champions slated for Wednesday night at SUNY Plattsburgh.
In Fridays overall final, the Lady Shamrocks steadily worked their way to a 16-6 lead after junior Taylor Francis drained a three-pointer with 2:03 left in the first quarter before the Lady Bears closed with four straight points to cut the deficit to 16-10 heading into the second quarter where they turned up their defensive pressure and gradually put together an 11-3 run, tying the game at 19-19 on a pair of free throws by Emily Pinckney then taking their first lead with 2:06 left in the half on a field goal by Kali Frank. The teams then traded baskets before Frank connected from close range after taking a baseline bounce pass into the lane from Emma Rexford with three seconds remaining to put Canton ahead 23-21 at the half.
The teams traded baskets to open the third quarter before the Lady Bears took their biggest lead of the game with a 7-2 run that ended with freshman Tori Daley netting a pair of free throws to make it 33-27. But back-to-back field goals, including Francis second three of the game pulled Salmon River back to within one at 33-32 with 1:15 left in the quarter. Frank again came up with a basket in the final minute to put Canton head 35-32 to start the final frame.
Samantha Ghostlaw tied the game with a three-pointer 53 seconds into the fourth quarter and the Lady Shamrocks then regained the lead for the first time since early the second quarter when Aliyah Cook converted from the paint 20 seconds later. A three-pointer by Rexford sparked a 7-0 run by Canton and the Lady Bears never trailed again as the Lady Shamrocks battled back to tie the game 42-42 then again at 47-47 when junior Abby Kelly converted on a pair of free throws with 49 seconds left. Canton regained the lead 10 seconds later when Rexford converted on a short pull-up jumper. After missing a pair of free throws with 20 seconds left, Frank redeemed herself and sealed the win 13 seconds later when she smoothly swished through her next two attempts from the charity stripe.
Daley led the way offensively with 18 points as the Lady Bears improved to 19-2 on the season. Rexford finished with three three—pointers in a 13-point effort followed by Frank with nine, Katie Christy with four, Pinckney with three and Rachel Sanderson with two.
Kelly, a junior, paced the Lady Shamrocks (16-6) with 18 points followed by Cook with 12, Francis with six, Ghostlaw with five, Kwiio King with four and Jaiden Mitchell with the other two.
POST-GAME NOTES: Following the girls overall championship game, Section 10 officials presented the first Tony Murray Memorial Sixth-Person Awards to OFA senior Cavan LaRose and Canton junior Emily Pinckney. The award is presented in the memory of longtime basketball official Tony Murray, who passed away last fall following a short battle against cancer. The Betty Ahlfeld Memorial Awards were also presented to Chateaugays Trevor Lang and St. Lawrence Centrals Noelle Rufa. Going to players who are considered unsung heroes for their teams, the award is named on behalf of the former Massena Central basketball scorekeeper, who also lost a fight to cancer.

Idler gear - longer flange facing in or out?
After a lot of time, and with a huge amount of help from Pa's great directions, I'm satisfied to put my WLA tranny aside and start the partial engine reassembly...But I'm quickly learning just how valuable those transmission directions were.
First step - install the idler gear. Can't find anywhere in the manuals whether the longer flange faces in or out. Can somebody let me know, and is this consistent for all the timing gears, etc?
I think I'm going to be asking a lot of questions, so I'll apologize in advance.
