The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) can best be described as the "factory floor" of the immune system. The MHC is an area of the human, and canine genome, which has been identified to code for the creation of proteins that the immune system uses to distinguish between foreign and non-foreign bodies. All cells within the body are "tagged", if you will, with "self" proteins produced by the MHC. Basically the way that both the human and canine immune system functions is that the T-cells of the immune system interact with the protein coat of any material they encounter in the body – it is the MHC that gives the body's own cells the "secret password" that tells the T-cells this is a friend, not a foe to be destroyed.
These "friend or foe" protein markers are also called antigens. In humans, they are known as human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and in canines, Dog Leukocyte Antigens (DLA).
When the T-cell encounters a material and determines that the antigen does not belong there – it will take steps to attack and kill the cells that are surrounded by the foreign protein. This is how the immune system kills bacteria and other microorganisms, which get into your dog's body.
When a virus gets into the body, it hijacks the reproductive system of the cells it invades, forcing it to make duplicates of itself, and in effect changes the protein signature of the cell. This is how the immune system can identify cells, which have been infected by viruses, and attack them to try to stop the spread of the infection.
In humans it is the MHC that leads to rejection problems in organ transplant surgeries, and why transfusion of the "wrong" blood type can be fatal. Recently, protocols for both kidney and liver transplants in dogs have been developed. As such procedures gain more wide spread acceptability among practitioners- deeper understanding of the functionality of the MHC in tissue rejection will need to be explored and anti-rejection treatments expanded, as they have in humans. However, just as it is in humans, the most significant aspect of the Major Histocompatibility Complex to your dog's health is the role the MHC plays in so-called autoimmune diseases.
An autoimmune disease is basically a condition where something "goes haywire" with those codes produced by the MHC, and the body starts treating "friends" as "foes" – and basically turns on itself.
"Autoimmunity" literally means "immunity against self". The symptoms of autoimmune disease are caused by the body mounting an immune response to antigens that would normally be recognized as "self." Most autoimmune diseases in dogs, as well as in humans, have a genetic basis. It is believed that there is genetic variance in the MHC that causes the individual or dog to be more susceptible to an autoimmune reaction, and that various environmental factors from viruses, bacteria, and allergens, to toxins can set off that susceptibility. Veterinarians identify four major factors relevant to causes of autoimmune disease in dogs,
In dogs that may be predisposed to autoimmune reactions, common vaccines for canine disease such as distemper and parvo have been known to trigger the response. Certain regularly used canine drugs have also been associated with aggravating immune response blood disorders, such as the newer combination of monthly heartworm preventives. Keep in mind too, that any drug has the potential to cause immuno–related side effects in such susceptible individuals.
Because it is known that autoimmune diseases are linked to genetic predispositions in the MHC—this is yet another reason why potential dog owners of purebred dogs should only deal with respected and reputable breeders who are aware of, and employ breeding practices designed to limit genetic disorders.
The thyroid gland plays a key role in the immune system, and thyroid disease is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in dogs. Since proper thyroid function is critical to a healthy immune system, if the dog is susceptible to thyroid disease, by inference it is also likely susceptible to other autoimmune disorders. This is why genetic screening for thyroid disease can be used in healthy animals to determine their fitness for breeding.
The animal's blood is tested for the presence of antithyroid autoantibodies. Any dog that has such antibodies circulating in the bloodstream, could potentially develop thyroid disease, and/or be vulnerable to other autoimmune diseases because his or her immune system is compromised. Responsible dog breeders use thyroid prescreening as a very important tool for selecting good breeding stock.
As stated, Lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most common MHC related autoimmune disease in dogs, and as such actually serves as a marker for susceptibility to a myriad of other autoimmune diseases. Some of these are:
It would be remiss in an article about the MHC and canines not to mention this interesting sidebar. Recent studies have shown that the MHC may form the scientific basis for the continuing anecdotal reports of dogs with the ability to "sniff out" cancer in humans. The olfactory ability of dogs is well documented. Dogs can identify chemicals diluted to parts per trillion in solutions. There have long been reports of dogs alerting owners to the presence of melanomas by constantly sniffing at a skin lesion. There have been several clinical studies published in respected medical journals that have tested and confirmed the ability of dogs to detect melanomas, bladder, breast, and lung cancers. Now, a recent study published in the journal Medical Hypotheses, indicates that anomalies in the MHC of the humans presenting with those cancers may be the mechanism for these dogs' remarkable diagnostic abilities.
It is known that human body odor is determined by the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are produced by the Major Histocompatibility Complex. The study concluded that "the volatile organic compounds produced by tumors, and detected by dogs, are products of MHC genes. These HLA molecules in humans have "soluble and detectable isoforms that are present in body fluids such as blood, urine and sweat, and there is a strong association between changes in HLA and cancers."
Participate in canine health research by providing samples or by enrolling in a clinical trial. Samples are needed from healthy dogs and dogs affected by specific diseases.

Seasonal to Interannual Forecasts
Climate Outlook
On This Page
The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) translates global-scale climate forecasts and conditions into regional-scale climate forecasts for Pacific Northwest (PNW) resource managers and the general public. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important factor for seasonal forecasting, changing the odds for different types of winter and spring weather (e.g. warmer/drier, cooler/wetter) in the PNW. Another important climate variable for Pacific Northwest climate is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). The climate outlook also provides the basis for natural resource forecasts, including the CIG's annual streamflow forecasts.
What's Next for the Pacific Northwest?
June 2010
Updated 22 June 2010 (posted June 25)
The climate outlook is reviewed monthly and updated as needed.
The 3 June NOAA El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) diagnostic discussion indicates favorable conditions for a "transition to La Niña conditions during June - August 2010." This discussion is updated early in each month. A review of tropical Pacific observations and more recent ENSO forecasts is found below.
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) July-August-September temperature forecast is for a greater than 33 percent chance of above normal temperatures in southern Idaho, and an equal chance of below, near, and above normal temperatures in the remainder of the PNW. The CPC precipitation forecast for the same period is for an equal chance of below, near, and above normal precipitation throughout the western U.S. The precipitation forecasts have only marginal skill during periods like the present when the tropical Pacific climate is near normal (ENSO neutral, CPC tools discussion).
The seasonal forecasts should be interpreted as the tilting of odds towards general categories of conditions, and should not be viewed as a guarantee that the specified conditions will be realized.
For More Information
Recent Pacific Northwest Climate
The Pacific Northwest experienced cooler and wetter than normal conditions in the last 90 and 30 days, respectively, with Portland establishing a new June record precipitation total of 4.24 in. (10.8 cm) in just the first 16 days of the month (daily totals, NCEP; "Oregon Live" article). The average June precipitation for the Rose City is 1.59 in. (4.0 cm).
The average temperature departure for the 30 days ending on 14 June continued a pattern of below normal temperatures that began in March (20 March through 18 April and 18 April through 17 May averages, WRCC). Temperatures during 16 May through 14 June were typically 2 to 4 °F (1 to 2 °C) below the 1971-2000 mean over the PNW, California, Nevada, Montana, and western Wyoming. Large cold departures, in excess of -4 °F (-2 °C), were observed in the Oregon Cascades, the Okanogan region of Washington, and the Snake River Valley of Idaho (Boise, Pocatello). The temperature departures in the coastal regions of Washington and Oregon were slightly cooler than the 1971-2000 mean (departures smaller than 2 °F (1 °C)).
The precipitation for the 30 days ending 14 June is characterized by totals that are betweeen 2 to 4 times normal over the Snake River Valley in Idaho, Washington, northern and coastal Oregon, and coastal northern California (total, departure, percent normal). The largest magnitude excesses, between 4 and 8 in. (2 and 4 cm), were observed to the west of the Cascades. The above normal precipitation contributed to water levels on the 21st of June that were 80% and higher of bankfull on the eastern slopes of the Washington Cascades, including the Stehekin, Methow, and American Rivers; the Oregon Wallowas; and in western Montana rivers that feed the Columbia (21 June analysis, legend; today's analysis; NWRFC).
The additional precipitation and cooler than normal temperatures in the PNW contributed to an easing of drought conditions throughout the PNW and a declassification of drought status in Washington, north and central eastern Oregon, and the southwest corner of Idaho (15 June, 18 May, Drought Monitor). Consistent with this there are no "large wildland fires" (fire area > 100 acres) in the PNW on 22 June (today's analysis for Oregon and Washington (NICC) and Idaho (InciWeb).
May coastal sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies made for the second month of below normal temperatures (April) with anomalies at the coast typically 1 °C below the 1985-97 normal and temperatures between 1 and 2 °C below normal within 15 degrees longitude of the coast (PFEL). The meridional winds along the Oregon coast, which drive upwelling, document periods of upwelling-favorable northerly winds in April and May, and strong and unseasonable downwelling-favorable winds in the more recent period from mid-May through early June (James Johnstone, UW). On a broader scale, negative Pacific SST anomaliess in excess of -0.5 °C were observed to the east of Hawaii and in the Gulf of Alaska for the period 16 May through 12 June (1982-96 mean, ESRL).
Recent and Projected Changes in Key Indicators for Pacific Climate
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The NOAA El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) diagnostic discussion, issued 3 June, indicates favorable conditions for a "transition to La Niña conditions during June - August 2010." The average SST anomaly averaged over 5°N-5°S, 170-120°W in the equatorial Pacific, in what is called the "Niño 3.4" region, is employed as a key indicator of tropical Pacific climate in the discussion. The Nino 3.4 SST anomaly peaked in December at 1.78°C, declined in magnitude in subsequent months, and became slightly negative (-0.02°C) in May. The early weeks of June have seen the development of significant cold SST anomalies in the equatorial Pacific (animation).
NOAA employs mechanistic and statistical models to forecast how ENSO will evolve over the next several seasons. Mechanistic models solve equations for ocean and atmosphere motions, and precipitation and radiative processes to forecast the future from present conditions. Statistical models, on the otherhand, are constructed from observations of past climate, and apply regression coefficients to present climate conditions to forecast the future. Agreement of the forecasts from these two types of models increases our confidence in the forecast.
The ENSO models are initialized with ocean and atmosphere data through May and the forecasts are summarized by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society. Twenty of the twenty-three models forecast the further development of cold Nino 3.4 SST anomalies during July-August-September, with a clustering of seventeen forecasts for Nino 3.4 SST between -0.4 and -1 °C, or moderate cold ENSO. The cold conditions are forecast to continue through the winter, with the predicted mean Nino 3.4 SST anomaly for October-November-December and January-February-March at -0.8 and -0.6 °C, respectively.
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). The PDO index became positive in December 2009 and, beginning in January, values have been typically around 0.7 standard deviations (1900-90 reference period, PDO values). Positive PDO values are consistent with above normal SST anomalies along the eastern portion of the north Pacific and negative SST anomalies in the central north Pacific. [For a normally distributed variable, only 32% of the values exceed one standard deviation in magnitude.] The existence of warm ENSO during June 2009 through April 2010 in the equatorial Pacific is consistent with the development of a PDO warm phase.
NOAA employs both statistical and mechanistic models to forecast the PDO and coastal ocean conditions. The statistical linear inverse model forecasts the PDO to be weak and negative through the end of the forecast period in Spring 2011. The NCEP coupled forecast system, a mechanistic ocean-atmosphere model, predicts a continuation of the present pattern of north Pacific SST anomalies, with cold SST anomalies along the eastern boundary and positive anomalies in the central north Pacific, through the end of the forecast period in December-January-February. This pattern is consistent with a weak, negative PDO later this year (22 June forecast, more recent forecasts).

For now the manuscript lies on my desk, looking rather impressive, yet it's only now the proper work begins. Another, nameless I'm afraid, person regarded a first draft analogous with a block of ice, or stone, and as the sculptor, you could now start to chip away, begin to shape it. I like that, apart from writing that first draft was a bit tougher than wheeling in said block.
So where to start?
You'll have your own approaches, but the goal remains to transform your ms from a muddled, muddied, disjointed, error-strewn, inconsistent, over-written, unsubtle clump of text (albeit one with promise), into something that does it justice. Something resembling a story – one that sings and radiates, giving ethereal pleasure to publishers, agents and readers alike as they drink your beautifully crafted words.
Almost certainly there will be too many words: weak sections that do nothing but kill momentum; Pretty writing, waxing lyrical about something's appearance (usually the weather) - some is fine, but overdo it and you risk literary masturbation; too much philosophising, too much internal monologue, character introspection. But mostly too many adverbs, adjectives. And repetitions. Tautologies too (these especially kill prose for me, and can take a number of forms – one of the most common being speech tags: 'Piss off,' said the aggrieved woman). Read your dialogue closely and see if you need to attribute it at all. You can often go pages without a 'he said, she said' and not lose the reader. The result is sharper, punchier, more authentic dialogue.
This links nicely to my next point: read your work out loud, into a mirror if you can bear to. Or record it and play it back. You'll be surprised how different it sounds, how many more mistakes and weak phrases leap out at you. Just because it's not poetry, doesn't mean you can neglect rhythm and metre in your writing. If you can, imagine this is the first time you've come across the words, and that someone else has written them. How do the words sound in your head now? Is reading it a pleasurable experience? (Probably not if it's a first draft, but you'll do this through several drafts, and eventually it will.)
Well, that'll do for starters. Much, much more to follow soon.

Schizophrenia is a complex genetic disorder caused by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Several lines of linkage and association studies have repeatedly suggested that the chromosome 5q22-33 region is implicated in the aetiology of schizophrenia. However, most of the previous studies on the linkage of 5q22-33 with schizophrenia were from European populations, and it was not well characterised in other populations.

I consider myself pretty laid back, open-minded, with a good sense of humor (sarcastic mostly). I am not overly outgoing or a crazy partier but I am a very open and honest and I do like going out to bars on the weekends and meeting new people. Some nights I am just as happy hanging out with a small group of friends, having a few drinks or dinner.
I am passionate about all things food: cooking (for myself, but especially for others), trying new restaurants, and learning about nutrition. I am in graduate school getting my Masters in Nutrition and working towards becoming a Registered Dietitian. When I'm not in class I enjoy being outside, whether it be going for a bike ride or reading in a nearby park.
I really believe in the importance of family, education, and health and I would like to meet someone who shares these same values. Being thoughtful, smart, motivated, funny and open-minded are also traits that I look for in a person, as well as someone who is genuinely happy and is passionate about what they do or want to do in life. Finally, I think communication is one of my strongest qualities and I am looking for someone who feels like they can really be honest and open in conversations.

Top-ranked recipe named "Chick Peas with Garlic and Green Chillies"
Try this Chick Peas with Garlic and Green Chillies recipe, or contribute your own. "Garlic" and "Fatfree" are two tags used to describe Chick Peas with Garlic and Green Chillies.
Sautee the cumin seeds and garlic in stock or sherry for 2 mins, then add the diluted tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer. Then add the chick peas, water, potato, salt, green chillies, ground cumin, and lemon juice. I find that one green chilli makes this pleasantly spicy, but if you like it hot, add cayenne pepper or chili powder at this stage. Simmer for 20 mins. Serve with bread; I like pitta bread, but crusty bread or tortillas work just as well. Adapted from Madhur Jaffreys _Eastern Vegetarian Cooking_. These quantities serve two, but you can easily double or quadruple them. Posted by email@example.com (Pete Williams) to the Fatfree Digest [Volume 14 Issue 5] Jan. 5, 1995.

Gay advocates angry at Obama's ambiguity on Defense of Marriage Act
Catholic World News - August 18, 2009
Gay activists expressed disappointment after President Barack Obama's administration decided to defend the Defense of Marriage Act as it undergoes a legal challenge. President Obama, who called for the repeal the law, which he believes is discriminatory, noted that the Department of Justice traditionally defends federal statutes under legal challenge.

The Christopher Deedy trial had some courtroom drama Wednesday as the prosecution called its last witness in the second murder trial for the federal agent.
Click here to watch the report.
Staff brought in displays and high-chairs from McDonald's, like the ones in the Waikiki Restaurant where Deedy shot and killed 23-year-old Kollin Elderts.
McDonald's customer Alexander Byrd says he missed the initial exchange between the two men.
He had his back turned when defense attorneys say Deedy identified himself as a federal agent, but Byrd says he did witness much of the fight that ended in a death in November 2011.
In his reenactment, Byrd says he saw Elderts on top of Deedy, pinning his body and arms, as the two struggled with each other.
Contrary to testimony by others, Byrd says he already heard four shots before the two men hit the floor and says he saw spots of blood on the ground.
"Initially Mr. Deedy was firing. It didn't seem to be hitting Kollin. It was just everywhere. So, I didn't want to take the risk of catching a stray bullet," said Byrd. "I saw the back of the toy display. That's all I saw from there."
In the cross examination, defense attorney Tom Otake poked holes in Byrd's testimony.
For one, Byrd said the scene he had just reenacted happened in a flash.
Byrd says parts of his testimony changed after he had time to think about what he really saw.
Byrd was the last of 18 witnesses called by the prosecution.
The defense began its case afterward and started with a bartender, and Deedy's friend, who was there that night.

I was thinking recently about how we react to shared impending calamity (or challenge). The Allies worked together to battle a shared enemy in World War II. The Manhattan Project was an example of this (for better or worse). We worked together within the United States to reach the moon (as a challenge from Sputnik and our then adversaries in the U.S.S.R.). I am sure that if we faced a shared disaster such as a killer asteroid, we would all probably team up to nudge that rock into someone else's orbit.
Where then is the shared sense of urgency when confronted with non-communicable diseases? I would argue that this is no less a threat than an army amassing at our collective border. While we currently have better access to fighting disease, we are now fighting (as Steve Jones of the UK Stem Cell Foundation might put it) not disease but decay. This era of decay will cost us $47 trillion between now and 2030, based on recent World Economic Forum data.1 By the way, that dollar amount equates to more cells than we have in our bodies (by a dozen trillion or so give or take).
This non-communicable disease issue is, I would argue, no less significant than other calamities. The problem is that it is quiet, sinister and relatively slow. We as a species appear to react much better to big, loud and immediate. We like "clear and present dangers." This is less clear, omnipresent and enormously dangerous. Have we collectively matured enough to pay attention? I hope so.
The United Nations, partnering with the International Diabetes Federation, the World Heart Federation, the Union for International Cancer Control and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease have formed the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Alliance (see http://www.ncdalliance.org/ [1] ). This is a huge step forward. That said, where is the funding? Where are the banners? The shovel-ready projects? The stump speeches?
I can guarantee you that without these — and the shared sense of urgency — the only stump speeches we will see will be by our children: the amputees on dialysis with cardiovascular disease.

I've been looking all over the internet trying to find bags on sale with no luck. Apparently, Campsaver just had a sale, but I missed it. Do any of you know where they are currently on sale, or will be for Black Friday?Thanks.
Is there a specific bag that you are looking for ?Campsaver only had some (very few actually) of the Montbell bags on sale. They had the UL SS #1 on sale but not the #0 or the #3 or the #5 for example . . .
I'm looking for a 0. A 1 or an EXP might even work if the price is right.
backcountrygear has the super spiral #1 and exp for sale, but not the #0.
Moontrail has a points program where you can immediately redeem them to create a sale price for the bag. Or you redeem them from a list of free items. If you take the dollar per point equivalent, it makes it a pretty decent price. I have ordered a MB bag from them as well as other items and have been very happy with their service.

Each month, The Oklahoman's editorial board recognizes a contributor to Your Views for a letter to the editor that exemplifies a timely, fair, accurate and cogent viewpoint. Paul S. Woolsey of Edmond is the honoree for letters that appeared in Your Views last month. His "Legislature shameful" letter was published June 20.
Meet the writer
Paul S. Woolsey is a native of Duncan and has lived in the Oklahoma City area for more than 40 years. His family originally came to what is now Stephens County in 1873 and leased ranching land from the Chickasaws. Woolsey is a University of Oklahoma graduate with degrees in finance and industrial management. He was an investment banker for 25 years and specialized in financing governmental projects for many of those years. He was a financial adviser to institutional investors and to state and local governments throughout the country. Currently, he's a private investor.
The letter
Regarding "ME's office, Capitol among items that will have to wait" (Our Views, June 13): The Legislature refuses to issue bonds to fund these projects or develop any plan of action. Bonds can now be sold at the lowest interest rate since statehood, a rate that's less than the annual inflation increases in repair and construction costs. Those facts, however, are completely lost and irrelevant to a group that refuses to act in the best interest of this and future generations.

A Message from Panthera's Executive Director of Jaguar Programs, Dr. Howard Quigley: Real Recovery for Jaguars in the Pantanal
Dear Friend of Panthera,
CBS '60 Minutes' recently aired an exclusive update on Noca, the first female jaguar radio-collared through Panthera's Pantanal Jaguar Project, featured in a 2010 CBS story.
Well worth a follow-up, the '60 Minutes' program highlighted the exciting birth of Noca's female cub, along with recent footage of her mating with a resident male. Noca's story represents a much larger success - a real recovery for jaguars across Panthera's sites in the Pantanal.
Make a contribution and help us continue to protect jaguars, like Noca, in the Pantanal.
Watch the uplifting one-minute CBS update on Noca.
In just five years since our Project's inception, we are thrilled to see steady and continuing growth in the local jaguar population within the Pantanal, Brazil.
On the two ranches where Panthera is working, camera trapping efforts have identified 27 jaguars in 2012, compared to 17 individuals in 2011. Jaguars are seen far more frequently year after year, also contributing to a boom in ecotourism, where local people are experiencing economic benefits of having jaguars living in this landscape.
I'm so proud of the progress we've made. Panthera's team has been working with local communities and partners day in and day out to apply solutions to conflict between ranchers and jaguars, reducing the number of cattle killed by jaguars by improving cattle husbandry techniques. That translates to fewer jaguars being killed by frustrated ranchers. And last year we even opened a school on the ranches for both kids and cowboys, showing that conservation ranches can be good for employees, too. With our research program layered into all of this, we are able to show the data which is important in expanding this positive example to other regions.
The Pantanal Jaguar Project is a great example of conservation in 2013 - an integrated landscape where jaguars, the largest cat in the Americas, can live alongside people, in a mutually beneficial environment. It's a model for the recovery of jaguar populations across their range and will be used as a guide in the 13 jaguar countries where Panthera is carrying out jaguar conservation initiatives.
Please help us protect the next generation of jaguars by making a contribution to support Panthera's jaguar conservation programs.
100 percent of your donation goes to the field, protecting jaguars like Noca and her growing cub, where it matters most.
Thank you so much for your support.
Dr. Howard Quigley
Executive Director of Jaguar Programs

Dukes Ride 21-Point Third Quarter to 21-20 Win at Robert Morris
Oct. 19, 2013
MOON TOWNSHIP, PA - Duquesne rode the momentum of a 21-point third quarter to clip Robert Morris, 21-20 at Joe Walton Stadium, marking the first time since 2006 that the visiting team has won in the series.
The Dukes scored twice via safety, once on a field goal and two more times on Dillon Buechel touchdown passes - all in a 9:23 span of the third quarter - to erase a 7-0 halftime deficit.
The Colonials rallied to post a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns, but a missed extra point with 4:43 left proved to be the difference.
The win was the third in a row for the Dukes (4-2), who remained undefeated in Northeast Conference play at 2-0. The loss dropped Robert Morris to 2-4 overall and 0-1 in the NEC.
Buechel completed passes to eight receivers in throwing for 202 yards. Devin Rahming, who finished with 6 catches for 86 yards and Gianni Carter each caught a touchdown pass for the Dukes.
The closest either team came to scoring in the first quarter was a missed 29-yard field goal by Duquesne's Austin Crimmins. Crimmins' miss, his first after seven consecutive makes to open the season, came after an 82 yard drive.
Robert Morris didn't register its first first down until its fourth possession, when it drove 67 yards to the DU 17 before Aaron Reed picked off a third down Paul Jones pass at the 13. Reed fumbled on the return giving the Colonials the ball back on the 17. Three plays later, Jones scored from 4 yards out to make it 7-0 - a score that would carry to the half.
DU outgained RMU 147-106 and had 8 first downs to the Colonials 5 in the opening 30 minutes.
The Dukes got on the board when Charles Lipp blocked a Tony LaMancusa punt out of the end zone on RMU's first possession of the second half to make it 7-2.
Rahming returned the free kick 49 yards to the Robert Morris 33 to set up a 40 yard Crimmins field goal that cut the RMU lead to two.
On the Colonials' next possession, a blitzing Dorian Bell hit Jones, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Zach Zidian at the 10. DU wasted no time capitalizing, as Buechel hit Carter with a TD strike on the next play to give the Dukes their first lead at 12-7.
Aaron Fleck pinned the Colonials at their own three with a 33 yard punt, making it the fourth consecutive RMU possession that started inside its own 10.
On the next play, Ryan Thermil was thrown for a 1 yard loss and fumbled into the end zone. RMU recovered for Duquesne's second safety of the quarter.
The Dukes made it 21 unanswered points when Rahming took a slant pass and raced 26 yards for a score to make it 21-7.
Duquesne held the Colonials to 2 yards on 12 plays in the quarter.
RMU put together its first drive of the half, going 71 yards to pull within seven on a 1 yard Deontae Howard run with 11:45 left.
D.J. Myers picked off a Buechel pass at the Duquesne 35 and the Colonials, bolstered by an acrobatic 34 yard reception by Duane Mitchell, scored on a 1 yard Jones sneak with 4:43 left. On the game's pivotal play, Hunter Khaleghi missed the extra point preserving Duquesne's one-point lead.
RMU forced a 3-and-out and took over on its 41 with 3:01 left, but the Dukes, who limited the Colonials to 235 yards, held when Jones overthew Mitchell down the right sideline on fourth down.
The Colonials had one last crack, taking over on their 33 with 54 seconds left and moved to the 48 before turning it over on a fumble on an attempted hook-and-ladder play at the Duquesne 48.
Rich Piekarski led the DU defense with 10 tackles. Dorian Bell added 2.0 tackles for loss, including a sack in addition to his forced fumble.
Duquesne heads to Rhode Island to face Bryant (3-4, 1-1) next Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Bhagavad Gita for a Fish.
Gita for a Fish
Let's say you are a fish
Swimming in the sea.
Only you're a very very smart fish,
Smart enough to realize
That being a fish swimming in the sea
Isn't all there is.
You can see that you're part of
A vast unknown ocean.
You can see there are many other creatures
And countless wondrous things
To learn about and enjoy
In this vast unknown ocean.
You can even imagine
That there may be a vast unknown world
Beyond even the vast unknown ocean.
You can also see
How wondrous and amazing it is
To be a fish,
To revel in all the unfathomable workings
Of your amazing fish body
And your amazing fish mind.
And how amazing it is
To simply be able to swim around
In this vast unfathomable ocean.
You can't ever fully figure out
The vast reality
Beyond your little fish world,
The vast unknown ocean
And the vast unknown world
Beyond the vast unknown ocean.
You can't ever really figure out
The incredible workings
Of your little fish body
And your billions of little fish cells
And your amazing fish mind.
But you can swim
In continual awe and wonder
At the vast unknown ocean
And the vast unknown world
Beyond the vast unknown ocean
And you can be in continual amazement
At the incredible workings
Of your little fish body
And your billions of little fish cells
And the wonders
Of all the other creatures and things
You see all around you as you swim.
You can think about it.
You can meditate on it.
You can love and celebrate it.
And meanwhile you can settle in
To simply being the best fish you can be.

Love, love, love this!
"And meanwhile you can settle in to simply be the best fish you can be".
Did you write this, Bob? I love it!
::just keep swimmin, just keep swimmin, just keep swimmin::
Thank you Bob. It's nice to hear/see/experience your voice. Your insight shines bright. Even though you are talking about swimming, which is fluid, your writing is strong—it illuminates. I hope you continue to share.
Thank you Bob. There are certainly aspects that would work well. The project is all about connecting and creating/finding community. It's been an amazing experience to edit an anthology of this sort. The experiences and stories are powerful and life changing. The opportunity fell into my lap. The woman I am working with is a journalist. I admire her voice and vision. I have finally found my place in the world. We both know how long that has taken!
"…Being a fish swimming in the sea isn't all there is" is now my #2 all time favorite Bob Weisenberg quote. The first is "What if every breath you took was like eating a bite of chocolate cake?" This is a great meditation topic! Thank You
Bob this is brilliantly beautiful. I can't wait to share this with my students and my little nephew. He loves "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and I just KNOW his innocence will understand your Gita Fish without explanation.
[…] Gita for a Fish. […]
I LOVE this!!!! SO great… such a brilliant metaphor.
Can i use it? I teach a whole class on Nemo and the Ocean of Grace… It is lovely!
Wonderful! Now I know why I like scuba diving so much – such great wisdom to be found under the sea. Sharing on Yogainmyschool.com and using as inspiration for a day of Kids Yoga Camp. Bob, you're the best!
Very Nice – I think you have a real talent for this type of thing (i.e. DeMystifying Yoga – to borrow a phrase from your book). Keep up the good work, Bob.
This Gita thread can't be allowed to become obsolete.
[…] Bhagavad Gita for a Fish. […]

Wonderful! I will definitely to share it!

Two Positives:
Jonah: Alexey Shved certainly displayed the inner Ricky Rubio in him on multiple plays tonight. One that particularily stood out to me was when Shved took a deep outlet pass on a fast break, realized he was way to far underneath the basket to make any sort of play let alone draw a foul, and then decided to pass it backwards to a cutting Derrick Williams for the wide open slam. It was those simpleton plays that have turned Shved's game into a one-of-a-kind type of deal. It's special to watch, and just like Rubio, if he can get his outside shots to fall more consistently, he's a real threat on the offensive end.
Tom: Unlike last night, I really do believe that we can take a couple of positives away from tonight's game. In the second quarter, the second unit showed us how effective they can be if they can click together for an extended period of time, running the lead out to 11 at one point. And on three or four plays throughout the game, Andrei Kirilenko looked comfortable working with Kevin Love on the court. Three or four plays may not sound like a lot, but it's three or four more than we saw last night. So. Baby steps.
Two Negatives:
Jonah: We really can't shy away from the second half blunders anymore. Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence but now three times is an issue. Sound the alarm, right? The Wolves second halves have been dreadful — 11 points in the fourth quarter tonight… Just sayin'. Really don't have much else to say about it other than that it's completely unacceptable and I'm not the only one who's noticed.
Tom: Barea's statline doesn't NEARLY do justice to the damage he inflicted on this game. His worst mistake came late in the fourth with Minnesota desperately clinging to their last vestiges of hope. They were down five when JJ came to a jumpstop, spun around several times and may or may not have shuffled his pivot foot. Barea was called for the travel and he complained loudly enough to be called for a technical. In a game where points were nearly impossible to come by (that 3-point percentage….), giving up freebies to the Warriors was quite the dagger.
Two Observations:
Jonah: So last night Tom wrote a negative about how Kirilenko has all but disappeared since claiming MVP through just eight games of the season. After reading that and thinking and then watching tonight's game, I can't help but mention this painful lump in my tummy over the entire situation. The once reckless yet fluid AK47 that led the team to scrappy comebacks with his staunch defense, has been absent especially on the offensive end. He still makes plays when he needs to but he's not in a position to create plays off the dribble or with the pass nearly as much. Instead, he's opting for too many outside shots, which certainly aren't his game.
Tom: I'm not sure why bad League Pass announcers bother me so much, but Golden State's team of Bob Fitzgerald and Jim Barnett were all kinds of awful. Listen, I'll call Barea annoying until I blow a tonsil out of my throat, but on-air broadcasters should know better than to do so. They also probably shouldn't openly question why David Lee got a technical after screaming an f-bomb at Marc Davis. And a better team of announcers probably wouldn't have referenced Sisyphus and Demosthenes, then spent two entire possessions congratulating themselves on coming up with the references, especially given the utterly random nature of Demosthenes' shout out. Not a good showing from the GSW broadcast team.
Notes: After recording two straight DNP-CD's, Derrick Williams found himself in some spot minutes tonight, and actually made the best of it. Surprise! He was efficient in his small sample size but it just goes to prove that his benching was more so an adjustment to Love's return more than anything else.
Next up: The Wolves continue their West coast tread, facing the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.

CORVALLIS, Ore. Contrary to expectations, researchers have discovered that the conifers of the Pacific Northwest, some of the tallest trees in the world, face their greatest water stress during the region's eternally wet winters, not the dog days of August when weeks can pass without rain.
Due to freeze-thaw cycles in winter, water flow is disrupted when air bubbles form in the conductive xylem of the trees. Because of that, some of these tall conifers are seriously stressed for water when they are practically standing in a lake of it, scientists from Oregon State University and the U.S. Forest Service concluded in a recent study.
It's not "drought stress" in a traditional sense, the researchers said, but the end result is similar. Trees such as Douglas-fir actually do better dealing with water issues during summer when they simply close down their stomata, conserve water and reduce their photosynthesis and growth rate.
"Everyone thinks that summer is the most stressful season for these trees, but in terms of water, winter can be even more stressful," said Katherine McCulloh, a research assistant professor in the OSU Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society.
"We've seen trees in standing water, at a site that gets more than two meters of rain a year, yet the xylem in the small branches at the tops of these trees can't transport as much water as during the summer," McCulloh said.
The ease with which water moves through wood is measured as the "hydraulic conductivity," and researchers generally had believed this conductivity would be the lowest during a conventional drought in the middle of summer. They found that wasn't the case.
"We thought if there was a serious decline in conductivity it would have been from drought," said Rick Meinzer, a researcher with the Pacific Northwest Research Station of the USDA Forest Service, as well as OSU. "It was known that air bubbles could form as increased tension is

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- We're celebrating Black History Month on "THV 11 This Morning".
Today we're taking a look at the role of music and dance in African American culture.
Leah Patterson with Leah's School of Latin Dance stopped by to show a few moves and give us a little history lesson.
According to About.com, the African influence made a huge impact on Latin music and dance. To quote the site, "Samba, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Timba, and many more, are just some of the rhythms that have been shaped by African beats."
