"Inflammatory processes are at the root of many diseases. If we have a better understanding of these processes, we will be able to treat diseases as diverse as atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes."
Sergio A. Lira, MD, PhD
Director of the Immunology Institute, Leona M. and Harry B. Hemsley Charitable Trust Professor of Immunology, and Professor of Medicine (Clinical Immunology)
Nearly all human diseases have an immune basis as a component of their pathology. Sergio A. Lira, MD, PhD, has spent his entire career trying to understand the complexities of the immune response — a system he believes is the key to treating a host of common chronic diseases, from asthma to diabetes to HIV.
As Director of the Immunology Institute, Dr. Lira fosters interdisciplinary, translational research in immunology, immunologic diseases, and transplantation. Under their direction, Mount Sinai scientists and clinicians have gained international recognition in such areas as primary immunodeficiency, mucosal immunity, inflammatory bowel disease, allergic diseases, and liver transplantation.
Dr. Lira has been widely praised for his pioneering scientific research, groundbreaking publications, and educational leadership. An award-winning educator, he is the author of more than 100 published articles, most recently on the contribution of chemokines to the trafficking of leukocytes into the intestine during homeostasis and disease.
Dr. Lira's lab pioneered the use of genetic approaches to study the function of an important set of immune molecules known as chemokines. His early studies were the first to show that chemokines had a profound impact on leukocyte trafficking to the brain, the lung, and the thymus. Subsequent work from his group revealed an important role for chemokines in autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes and thyroiditis.
Other contributions from his lab include studies on the mechanisms of lymphoid neogenesis and on the biological function of molecules encoded by viruses that mimic chemokines. In particular, his lab contributed to the discovery that the chemokine receptor encoded by herpes virus 8 is an oncogene, providing important insights into the mechanisms leading to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma.
Dr. Lira's lab has also made important contributions to the study of IL-23, a cytokine that affects development of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
Dr. Lira's expertise is recognized worldwide. He has presented at conferences throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia and has organized international meetings, including the 2003 Keystone Symposium on Chemokines and the 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Chemotactic Cytokines.
In addition to his responsibilities at Mount Sinai, Dr. Lira is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Union. He was elected to the Henry Kunkel Society in 2006 and to the Association of American Physicians in 2008. Dr. Lira's contributions have been recognized with an Inventor's Award and an Impact Award from the Schering-Plough Research Institute and the President's Award from Bristol-Myers Squibb and the International Society of Endocrinology.
A native of South America, Dr. Lira received his medical degree from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in Brazil and his PhD in physiology and pharmacology from the University of California at San Diego. He completed his postdoctoral training at the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology in Nutley, New Jersey. Prior to joining Mount Sinai he was Director of the Department of Immunology at the Schering-Plough Research Institute. Dr. Lira joined Mount Sinai in 2002 as the Irene Diamond Associate Professor of Immunology.

Cervical polyps
Cervical polyps are fingerlike growths on the lower part of the uterus that connects with the vagina (cervix).
The exact cause of cervical polyps is not known. They may occur with:
- An abnormal response to increased levels of the female hormone estrogen
- Chronic inflammation
- Clogged blood vessels in the cervix
Cervical polyps are common. They are often in women over age 20 who have had children. Polyps are rare in young women who have not started having their period (menstruation).
Most women have only one polyp, but some women have two or three.
Polyps do not always cause symptoms. When symptoms are present, they may include:
- Very heavy menstrual periods
- Vaginal bleeding after douching or intercourse
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding after menopause or between periods
- White or yellow mucus (leukorrhea)
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will see smooth, red or purple fingerlike growths on the cervix during a pelvic exam.
A cervical biopsy will be performed. Most of the time, the biopsy will show cells that are consistent with a benign polyp. Rarely there may be abnormal, precancerous, or cancer cells in a polyp.
The health care provider can remove polyps during a simple, outpatient procedure.
- Smaller polyps may be removed with gentle twisting.
- Electrocautery may be needed to remove larger polyps.
The removed polyp tissue should be sent to a lab for further tests.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most polyps are not cancerous (benign) and are easy to remove. Polyps do not grow back most of the time. Women who have polyps are at risk of growing more polyps.
Possible Complications
There may be bleeding and slight cramping for a few days after removal of a polyp. Some cervical cancers may first appear as a polyp. Certain uterine polyps may be associated with uterine cancer.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have:
- Abnormal bleeding from the vagina, including bleeding after sex or between periods
- Abnormal discharge from the vagina
- Abnormally heavy periods
Call your doctor or nurse to schedule regular gynecological exams. Ask how often you should receive a Pap smear .
See your health care provider to treat infections as soon as possible.

The Charleston Southern men's basketball team is off to a 2-0 start with a pair of contrasting victories in the first week of the season.
On Sunday, the Buccaneers edged Delaware 95-93 on the road. Two days earlier, CSU coasted past Johnson 130-51 in the Buc Dome.
All-conference guard Saah Nimley had 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the win over Delaware.
Senior Matt Kennedy tallied a career-high 14 points, while Cedrick Bowen, Will Saunders, Sheldon Strickland and Arlon Harper all reached double digits.
CSU returns home to take on UNC Wilmington on Wednesday.
Against Johnson, CSU made its first 10 shots and led 77-29 at halftime.
Bowen led five players in double figures with a career-high 20 points and added a career-best 10 rebounds. Strickland was right behind Bowen with 18 points. Malcolm Bernard and Kennedy had 16 and 13 points respectively.
• Former Goose Creek Lady Gators star Aleighsa Welch is off to a hot start for the nationally-ranked USC women's basketball team.
On Sunday, the junior forward led the No. 21 Lady Gamecocks with 14 points and 10 rebounds in a 68-45 victory over Louisiana Tech. Two days earlier, she scored 15 points and pulled down a game-high eight rebounds in a 99-29 victory over Charleston Southern.
Welch and the Lady Gamecocks host College of Charleston on Thursday.
• Welch's former GCHS teammate N'Dea Bryant is a sophomore guard at the University of North Carolina. She began her season with two points, two assists and five rebounds in an 87-26 victory over Air Force last week.
The Lady Tar Heels are ranked 12th in the country.
South Carolina and North Carolina will meet Dec. 18 in Myrtle Beach.
• USC Aiken senior guard Devontae Wright, formerly of GCHS and The Citadel, is one of the top players for the No. 7 Pacers (in NCAA Div. II).
He helped lead USC Aiken to two wins in the Mayaguez Basketball Classic over the weekend in Puerto Rico. In the last of three games, he had six points, six assists and 10 rebounds in an 84-46 win over Puerto Rico-Mayaguez.
Before the regular season began, he shined in exhibitions against Southeastern Conference schools Ole Miss and South Carolina. The Pacers lost to Ole Miss 75-70 in overtime and 84-72 to USC.
Wright had 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists against the Rebels then tallied nine points, four rebounds and two steals against the Gamecocks.
• Former Goose Creek center Jacob Carson is now at Spartanburg Methodist College after a redshirt year at North Carolina A&T.
He's played in three games this season and averages 1.7 points and 4.3 rebounds for the Pioneers.
• Former Stratford standout Tiffany Addison is now a member of the USC Aiken basketball team after a year at Arkansas-Fort Smith. She's started both games so far for the Lady Pacers and is yet to score but has seven assists and five rebounds in games against Anderson and Mount Olive.
• Citadel sophomore Rae Robinson, who starred at GCHS, had six points, four assists and three rebounds in losses to VMI and Army over the weekend.

In this silly promo video for the show, which airs live on Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. on ABC, the pair try hosting a circus-themed party for children.
Paisley, 39, wearing a white balloon hat on his head, tells a young boy, "Here, I made you a monkey," only to have the child kick him in the shin and shout, "I hate monkeys!"
Meanwhile, another child is mummifying Underwood, 29, with streamers, as she sighs: "Maybe we should just stick to hosting the CMA Awards."

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc
Continue Reading Below
Berkshire sold the shares in several transactions on Thursday, Friday and Monday, yielding a total of $84.5 million and leaving it with about 25.3 million shares, according to a regulatory filing on Monday.
Last Wednesday, Berkshire Hathaway said it had sold 1.75 million Moody's shares in the first three days of last week, the first time since 2010 it had sold shares in Moody's.
Berkshire once held a stake of more than 20 percent in Moody's. It has owned shares of the New York-based company for well over a decade.
Moody's shares rose 1.2 percent to $63.50 in regular trading on Monday, hitting a new 52-week high.

William "Billy" Flynn, who committed the 1990 murder for which Pamela Smart was convicted for conspiracy and sentenced to life without parole, has been moved to a medium-security prison as he approaches his own chance at parole next year.
Flynn was transferred last week to a facility in Warren, Maine, as part of a work-release program following his second-degree murder conviction for shooting Gregg Smart, reports the Associated Press.
In a much-publicized case that spawned a novel, TV dramatizations and the 1995 movie starring Nicole Kidman, To Die For, Pamela Smart, then 22, a New Hampshire school district media coordinator, was found guilty for manipulating Flynn, her then 16-year-old lover, to kill her husband.
Two young men convicted in the case have since been released: Flynn and Patrick "Pete" Randall, who testimony showed held Gregg Smart while confessed triggerman Flynn shot him, are up for parole next year.
Gregg Smart's family approved of the move for Flynn. "If they're going to be out next year, they need to get acclimated back into society," Gregg's brother, Dean J. Smart, tells PEOPLE.
But Dean Smart, who wrote the 2011 book about his brother, Skylights and Screen Doors, has far less sympathy for Pamela's Smart's continual claim of innocence.
A new documentary, Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart, begins airing Aug. 18 on HBO and asks questions about the fairness of Pamela Smart's sentence given the plea-bargained fate of the others who were accused.
The only possible sentence for Smart's conviction on charges of conspiracy and being an accomplice to first-degree murder was life without parole, which she currently is serving at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York.
"I do not think she deserves to be set free," Dean Smart tells PEOPLE. "I do believe that she's guilty, and I do believe that it's completely fair."
Billy Flynn, Killer of Pamela Smart's Husband, Is Moved to Work-Release Program

Tuesday, September 4, 2012
So, a woman in Texas tries to shoot a skunk but hits her husband instead.
The skunk was eating food left out for the family cats, and last week the woman was fed up. She fetched her trusty .45 caliber from her purse (this is Texas, remember), went out to the porch and fired off a round. Which ricocheted wildly, went through a door to the house and struck hubby in the gut.
The good news: The husband was airlifted to a hospital, and hes fine. Treated and released.
The bad news: This puts me that much further from ever owning a gun.
Widdle read that story and said, See? She aimed at a skunk, but look what happened. Guns dont scare me, but they scare Widdle. Not guns in general, just any gun in my hands.
Thats right. My name is Julie and my husband wont let me own a gun.
Oh, we have guns all over the househunting rifles and a shotgun or two. These do me absolutely no good because if I come home alone and a bad guy jumps out of the closet, what am I going to do? Ask him to hold that thought while I run get the rifle? Fail.
What I want is a permitted gun of my own, and lessons in how to use it. Id like something small enough to be concealed in a purse or tucked in the glove compartment. I hate driving long distances with nothing but my little pink Mace canister on my key ring.
But no, Widdle will not allow. He says Im too jittery to trust with a gun. The truth is, we both know hes afraid Ill shoot him on a whim. I cant imagine why he thinks that when Ive never raised a hand to another human being in my life, but there you are. And, in his smooth-talking way, he turns it around on me.
Honey, 30 minutes after you take your sleeping pills youd shoot anythingyou dont know what youre doing, he says. (I know exactly what Im doing, but thats another column.)
My ex-husband had a ginormous .44 caliber Smith & Wesson in a carved display case. The barrel was at least a foot long. I could barely lift it with both hands, and never learned to fire it. (Which, down the line, he was thankful for.)
After my father died, Mother bought a .38 Special and kept it in her bedside drawer. She almost shot my beloved brother T-Bob once. He woke up in his apartment, wanted breakfast and decided it would be easier and cheaper to drive to Mothers house, let himself in and rattle some pots and pans. He was happily frying eggs at 5 a.m. when she crept into the dining room and drew down on him.
When she saw it was her second-born son, she did what any sensible woman would do. She shrieked and threw the gun in the air. T-Bob froze with an egg half-cracked in his hand.
Son! I thought you were a cat burglar! she gasped.
Of course, T-Bob said. Because so many cat burglars break in and cook breakfast, right?
Back to the skunk in Texas. He wasnt hit, but he died laughing. No, he actually returned while investigators were still there, and started noshing on the cat food again. They chased him away.
Gun or no gun, you cant keep a good skunk down.

He rides with the daring participants directly down to Après-ski, where they are guaranteed to have at least as much fun. In the evening a typical Valaisian "Les Trois Fondue" awaits you. It is a wonderful conclusion to an active, sunny day. By the way, there are supposed to be 299 ½ of them in Grächen.

Perfect saddle height—instantly.
Now the norm, when dropper posts first showed up they were heavy and finicky (the HiteRite aside, of course). Adjustable seatposts have come a long way since then, and now products like the RockShox's Reverb take advantage of extensive suspension technology in order to provide smooth, slop-free operation.
By opting for a hydraulic actuation, the Reverb is the first post to eliminate any mechanical connection. Hydraulics may be cause for alarm, but if you're running disc brakes they're more than likely hydraulic — not to mention that they share the same, basic principles. Expect the Reverb to be as reliable and easy-to-service as any modern hydraulic disc brake. RockShox is so sure of hydraulics that it uses it to operate its remote fork lock-outs, too. In fact, both the Reverb and RockShox suspension lock-out systems use a bar-mounted XLoc remote.
This system uses 2.5-weight fork oil, and comes with the necessary materials and instructions to shorten and bleed the line. It won't become contaminated with grit like cables, and it's also lighter than a comparable cable-actuated unit. Fluid in the line opens and closes the Reverb's main oil-flow valve, allowing the post to drop. Meanwhile, the aluminum knob at the lever controls how fast the post returns to its static position. The post has either 100 or 125mm of travel, and its height is infinitely adjustable.
RockShox has an advantage over other dropper post designs due to its extensive suspension technologies. For example, the seals used are optimized to prevent contamination from dirt and water, and just like fork seals, they're free from friction out of the box. You'll also find an IFP, an internal floating piston, which is another shared technology from RockShox's forks and shocks. The IFP prevents the oil from mixing with the air preload, and it also provides a buffer if your buddy decides to lift the saddle up without pressing the XLoc button.
Both the post shaft and head are constructed out of forged 7050 aluminum and they're anodized for durability. Longer-than-average clamps support the saddle rails, which simplifies saddle fore and aft adjustment, as well as tilt, by making the two bolts easy to access. Markings on the head and clamp also assist with fine tuning.
The XLoc remote is compatible with MatchMaker X mounts in order to allow integration with brake lever and shifter clamps. Reverb posts are available with 30.9 and 31.6mm diameters, and in the 125mm-travel option, a 420mm length. The 100mm-travel post comes in a 30.9mm diameter and with a 355mm length. All Reverb posts have zero offset, and to further enhance ergonomics, it's available in both left and right configurations.

The Convenience Really Is Worth It
I have a Reverb Stealth on my other bike and love it so much that I decided to get one for both. Price had held me back in the past but the convenience really is worth it. The upside down mounting suggested by others is a great idea. Make sure you buy the right seat post diameter.
Seat Goes Up, Seat Goes Down
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is perhaps the most cost effective up grade to any mountain bike. The ability to fine tune saddle height across varying terrain is an essential function for riders, regardless of skill. Reverb uses hydraulic internals and this makes for a very smooth actuation. However, it also means you need to have a proper bleed to support smooth operation. The package comes with a bleed kit, and you can utilize this video from Bike Radar http://www.bikeradar.com/us/gear/article/how-to-bleed-a-rockshox-reverb-43762. Once you've got that dialed and the mess cleaned up, it should be all good. Pro tip: one by users should opt for the Right-hand actuator version so you can mount it on the underside of the left handlebar.
Game changer

I don't know why I waited so long for a dropper. I've read complaints about the Reverb being hydrolic and having to bleed it is a pain, but this is much easier than a brake to bleed. And it doesn't need to be a perfect bleed to work properly. I had to shorten the hose length and my daughter pushed he dropper switch while it was off, high made most of the oil squirt out. This kit came with a bleed kit and a whole bottle of oil to fill back up. This was for my old Ibis Mojo, since it doesn't have internal cable routing. I also have the a Reverb in Stealth for my SC Nomad
Im 5'8" with a Medium Santa Cruz Bantam got from you guys last year, which size dropper you recomend?
Hey pipemanics - I would recommend the 30.9mm diameter, 355mm length, 100mm travel Reverb Dropper Seatpost for you based on your size. Also, I could not find your order for the Bantam. What email address did you use to order it? Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.

Great post
Great post, although it isn't prime for colder weather. I didn't take that into consideration when buying it and used it in temps in the 30's and it became sluggish. Look forward to using it in the spring
Game Changer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love love love my Reverb Dropper Seatpost. I've had it for the past few months and haven't had any issues with it besides it making my rides way more enjoyable. Can't believe I went so long without one. The Reverb seemed pretty easy to install (husband installed it for me one evening with no issues, it was his first experience installing a dropper). The push lever to drop and raise the seat doesn't take much force so it's really easy to use while riding. Also, it's great that it's infinitely adjustable versus only having only 2 to 3 specific settings. I did a ton of research on which brand to buy and I'm happy I went with this RockShox. Make sure to order the exact size for your bike, since I'm a smaller female BC.com didn't actually have the correct size and they recommended me to find it elsewhere. Thanks BC.com!
Probably the best thing I've bought...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The RockShox Reverb Dropper Post is probably the best thing I have bought for myself all year, it's truly a game-changer. While it's relatively easy to justify not buying one, I can assure you that if you do decide to pull the trigger, you will not be disappointed; you'll be wondering why it took you so long to make the decision. Having the ability to customize the seat height mid-ride is what it's all about - you'll be faster on the downhills and just as fast on the ups.
Very good seatpost
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I dont have any bike park, here in Brasil, so I have to climb every slope before get down! This seatpost let me do more technical descent even with short suspention travel bike! It s easy to operate and its not too heavy!
I have an XL tallboy 2 and am 6ft3". Which length reverb post would you recommend? 100mm drop or 125mm?
Hi Geop, I bought the 125 mm to have bigger amount of drop! I think, as you are tall, the 125 mm will be better!
Reliable dropper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Just got this dropper and it is super sweet, Couldn't be happier with how easy it was to set up and how well is works. Definitely would recommend to a friend, but the only downside is the cable attaches at the top of the post so when it is all the way down it kind of gets in the way, A few zip ties does the charm keeping it down. Love it overall though.
Great Dropper
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had one of these for about 8 months now and I am very pleased with the continued top notch performance. It operates as smoothly and reliably as the day I installed it. Installation is very simple (there are some great instructional videos out there), and if done carefully, it is not necessary to bleed the actuator hose. It can take a little bit of time to get the routing just right and to set up the hose "loop", but there are several ties and a neat hose guide included with the unit.
I have recently purchased a new bike and outfitted it with the KS Lev dropper. While the KS is a solid piece of equipment, I believe I prefer the Reverb - it just seems to operate a little more smoothly and never sticks, whereas the Lev sometimes needs a little "bump" to unstick it when it has been in the down position for awhile.
As others have said below, if you have room (ie no front shifter on the left side of the cockpit), it is a great idea to order a right hand trigger and place it under the left side of the handlebar. Make sure this will work for you though as the trigger is left or right side-specific. Also, make sure you order the right length.
One thing is certain...I will NEVER not have a dropper post again. It has improved my riding and increased my enjoyment. I use it constantly, and once you get accustomed to it, you'll find yourself moving your seat up and down unconsciously.
Keep the rubber side down
Right on the money!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Woah, I knew I should have bought one of these sooner! Just couldn't sacrifice spending the money, as they are pricey! But, unlike other things, this was money well spent! I wouldn't know what to do without it now. Was easy to setup, shorten line, and bleed. Very simple! So far, this product has been reliable, no issues what so ever! Just a FYI, there is a slight side to side movement of the saddle once installed. This is normal, and cannot be felt while riding.
Add more cables to your bike
I was so stoked to get a dropper after years of adjusting my seatpost with a quick release multiple times during a ride. It took a little getting used to. On my first ride I accidentally shifted when I tried to raise my seat on the fly. I could see why people would get the right handed option and put it on the left for when you flip your bike upside down to clean it. I haven't had an issue yet with the long loop of cable that expands and contracts every time I adjust my seat. It does require a little extra care when you throw your bike on a stand though.
Good Dropper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
*remember to order opposite side lever if you plan on mounting under your bar.
Is this a 2014 model?
Is this a 2014 model?
Hey Kyle,
Based on our info it looks like we should only have the 2014 model in at this point.
Decent Dropper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like this dropper but there are some things that it could do better. The action and the adjust-ability of the seat post is great. I prefer to flip the lever over and mount it upside down on the handlebar, which allows for you to push the button down more easily and also protects the button if you flip your bike and need to place it upside down to do some quick field maintenance. This is the great part of the reverb, the only thing I don't like is that the hose attaches to the top part of the seat post which move the entire hose when you change the height of the seat post. The KS Lev has the hose mounted at the base of the seat post, close to the seat post clamp which holds the hose more static during use. The stealth version of the reverb does not have this problem but the normal reverb does. All in all it is a solid dropper. If you have any questions about this or any other dropper please give me a call and I would be happy to talk to you about them.
Here is my contact information: My direct line 801.736.6396 ex. 4389. Feel free call to me anytime, I?m always happy to talk about bikes or gear or the weather. Whatever works! I?m here Mon, Tues and Friday 1:30-10pm MST and Saturday 9-5:30 as well as Sunday 10-7. I look forward to speaking with you.
I use the "underside" mount for the lever to my Fox DOSS dropper to for the same reasons. If I were to order the Reverb, and wanted to mount it "underside' on the left side, should I order the right or left hand version?
The image shows the "stealth" version, but...
The image shows the "stealth" version, but the title and description don't mention that feature. Is it in fact the "stealth" model? Also, if I order it even though it's not currently in stock, how long does it take to actually get it from the distributor and [ultimately] to me? Are we talking a few weeks or will it be months? TIA.
This is not the stealth version. The stealth version's cable goes directly into the bottom of the post.

Awesome game, but personally, I thought that the manga could use a little work. What do you people think?(Did you know that they're releasing KH: Chain of Memories for the Playstation?! Still same battle system however.)
The manga was OK. Made me angry though cause it went by too fast... >.> The first, Chain of Mems, and the 2nd... >.>
Honestly, I didn't think anyone would respond! But anyway...*ahem* I don't think that they truly captured all of the little moments that made the game great. Plus the battle sequences weren't all to great either. "I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least I ain't a spoon!"
Its just like Dot Hack G.U. +, but even faster... I would have loved for them to go like 20 volumes or what ever for Kingdom Hearts 1 so they could get everything in it. But I guess we have to look on the bright side! At least they made a Kingdom Hearts Manga!

There are very few, if not any, tanneries that carry the same reputation for creating leathers of the utmost quality as Chicago's Horween. They are the proverbial cream of the crop of tanneries, which needless to say, is the reason I've been a fan of their products for quite some time now and is why I choose to work with their leathers for Truman. Family owned and operated in Chicago for over a century, they are currently the only domestic tannery and only one of two in the world to be producing Shell Cordovan. They also developed and are the exclusive producers of the infamous Chromexcel, which is world renown for it's buttery texture and incredible pull-up.
I was rolling through Chicago on our fall tour and they were kind enough to let me stop by and take a look at the tannery to see first-hand where my leather comes from. A HUGE thanks to John Culliton who took a good chunk of time out of his day to walk me through the entire factory and explain in rich detail everything that was happening. I am the smallest of small when it comes to companies they work with but they really went out of their way to accommodate my visit and to me, that really shows they care about what they do. A big cheers to the good folks at Horween. Here's a little bit of how my tour went:
The factory itself was built in the late 1800's and was a tannery from the get-go. Horween was established in 1905 by Isadore Horween and had moved into their current location by 1920. So the building itself has been producing leather for well over a century. The history is rich and you can definitely feel it in the air as you walk through the multiple levels of the tannery.
We started in the basement, where raw hides are brought in, folded and stacked on pallets. This is where it all starts.
I watched as two guys unfolded a horsehide, spread it out on a table (hair, mane and all) and started dividing it up into different cuts, starting at the hind area for the rounds that in a few months will end up being the prized Shell Cordovan.
From there, the cuts all go into giant cement mixers filled with water and lime where they tumble around and have all the hair and remaining bits of flesh removed.
After this process, they get separated into different vats — a giant barrel filled with chrome liquor for the chrome-tanned stuff, and big square vats filled with a mixture of water and vegetable matter (tree bark, etc) for veg-tanned stuff. Some of the hides sit here for months.
The chrome-tanned hides come out of their initial stage in a light blue hue, therefore being dubbed "blues" at this point. The blues then get graded, sorted and split down to different weights.
Every hide is custom split to a specific weight here in the beginning stages of tanning as opposed to after the fact like a lot of tanneries do. This of course is done for a reason — to ensure maximum uniformity in weight (thickness) and a clean, uniformly tanned flesh side.
The hides that are to be Chromexcel are at that point sent into giant barrels filled with a variety of hot natural waxes and oils to be "hot-stuffed", which means the oils and waxes penetrate deep into the hide creating the pull-up affect.
The Chromexcel is then over-dyed and spread by hand to ensure uniformity.
At their final stages, leather is then hung or spread out to dry for several weeks.
For Chromexcel, the very last step is a bath in neatsfoot oil, which accounts for it's oily, waxy hand.
After the last active step of Shell Cordovan, it's stacked to let it age for several months. That's right, they finish producing the leather and then actually let it sit there for another few months because they feel that the product is best after aging a little bit. That to me is the utmost in concern for quality over quantity. It would suit them best to keep moving product out of their factory but instead, they opt to let it sit there for months, taking up precious real estate in their factory because they feel it makes for the best product. Awesome.
They are also the official tannery for NFL football leather as well as basketball leather.
Note the "W" for Wilson embossed on the leather.
On top of all this, they are still progressive — trying out new formulas and coming up with new leathers. It's no wonder why the name Horween has become synonymous with quality and I'm proud to be using their hides for Truman.

LOCKPORT – The owner of Lockport's top tourist attraction went to bat for the Niagara Tourism and Convention Corp. tonight.
Mike Murphy, of Lockport Locks and Erie Canal Cruises, appeared before the Common Council to oppose Mayor Michael W. Tucker's plan to end city payments to the county's official tourism promotion agency.
While he was at it, Murphy also criticized Tucker's plan to move the Labatt Canal Concert Series to the city parking lot at Chestnut and Elm streets. That's perhaps 500 feet from Murphy's business.
Tucker said last week he intends to stop the city's payment of about $90,000 a year in proceeds from the "bed tax" on hotel and motel bills to the NTCC.
His plan, embodied in the proposed 2013 city budget, is to hire a city marketing director and spend the rest of the money on promotion.
Murphy, a member of the NTCC board of directors, said his business alone spent more than $54,000 this year on advertising. That's more than the budget the city would have after paying the salary and benefits of the marketing director.
"That doesn't touch what the NTCC does," Murphy told the aldermen. "I think it would be foolish for the city to get out of it."
Tucker said ending the tax subsidy wouldn't hurt Lockport promotion, because the NTCC remains the county tourism agency, with a mandate to promote the whole county.
"This is their job, to promote Niagara County whether we pay them or not," Tucker said. "They can't arbitrarily say, 'We're not working with you.'"
He argued that Lockport specifically derives little direct benefit from the NTCC.
"Everything is focused on the Falls and the state park," the mayor said. "They promote the hell out of Lewiston, and they should, but we shouldn't have to pay for it."
He noted that Lewiston and other communities whose attractions are featured in NTCC publications don't have to pay the NTCC anything. Its revenue comes from the bed taxes charged by Niagara Falls, Lockport and the county.
"I feel strongly as a businessman in the City of Lockport, not as a board member of the NTCC, we should support this organization," Murphy said. "I know what it takes to bring people to Lockport and how to do it."
Tucker retorted, "I know the NTCC works for you. It doesn't work for anybody else."
On the concerts, Murphy said the noise, traffic, blocked access streets and parking shortages would hurt his business on the nine summer Fridays when the rock shows are on stage.
He said his banquet facility hosts numerous Friday parties and weddings that would be disrupted by the racket "when somebody says 'I do.'"
"It wouldn't be the first time," Tucker replied. "It's not the end of the world."
Murphy said blocking Market Street, leading to the concert venue and his business, would be a big negative. Tucker answered, "Everybody's got OnStar these days. They can find their way around."

In anticipation of the Museum of London Docklands' upcoming exhibition about the Thames Estuary, we took a boat ride to Red Sands military forts, which protected London from enemy attack in the Second World War.
There's something chillingly familiar about the Red Sands Forts. Their distant silhouettes, perching stolid yet menacing on the horizon, are uncannily reminiscent of the At-At walkers from The Empire Strikes Back. Even up close, it's impossible to avoid the sci-fi comparisons.
These quadruped giants were constructed in the Second World War to protect London and other Thames settlements from the aerial and naval attentions of Nazi Germany. Three sets of Maunsell Forts, named after their designer Guy Maunsell, were built in the Estuary to this design: the Nore forts off Sheerness, now demolished; and the Red Sands and Shivering Sands forts, further out. These nautical bastions were assembled after the main London Blitz, but were in place to hinder later attacks. They jointly shot down 22 enemy aircraft and 30 V1 flying bombs, undoubtedly saving hundreds of lives.
Seven protrude from the estuary waters at Red Sands — some untroubled by human intrusion for half a century. Five turrets circle a central command and accommodation block, with a seventh structure housing the search lights. Bridges once spanned the gaps between each roost, but these have long-since vanished. Isolated and other-worldly, only the gulls communicate between them.
The structures fell into this rusty stasis not long after the war. The entry ladders were sawn off, to prevent dangerous trespass. Nevertheless, the forts became havens for pirate radio stations. Radio Invicta and its successors operated from one of the forts through the mid-1960s. A large broadcasting mast remains.
The forts are truly isolated. The six mile boat trip from Queenborough takes around an hour with favourable tides. We're still in the Thames, but at a point where the land is a distant sight. A forest of wind turbines a couple of miles away makes an aloof, disinterested neighbour. Shivering Sands is just visible on the horizon. As we manoeuvre in beneath the towering legs, a nearby buoy tolls a muffled note, casting a melancholy soundtrack to these eerie eyries. Maunsell Forts or Maudlin Forts?
The structures stand empty, but not unloved. Project Redsand is a charity dedicated to maintaining the structures. It runs occasional boat trips for interested parties. One fort is semi-habitable, with a landing gantry for visitors. The charity has also begun to reconnect the metal monsters, and the beginnings of a bridge hang between the accessible fort and the central command tower. Our party was unable to board, alas, thanks to winter damage that had crippled the landing gantry.
The charity is now seeking sponsors and other financial support to make the repairs and advance their programme of safeguarding and restoring the little-known landmarks. The gantry alone will cost £3,000 to repair. Surely, surely, there must be a well-heeled aficionado of military history prepared to invest in such an offshore treasure?
The Maunsell Forts feature prominently in Estuary, the Museum of London Docklands' upcoming 10th anniversary exhibition, which opens on 17 May 2013. Londonist is the media partner for this exhibition.

Thread: Musc Ravageur Oil version
Hi guys,
hope you can help me out! My beloved one loves MR but only the oil version. He says the edp smells on his skin like bug repellent than coke, he only likes the dry down. I know the oil is now discontinued but I was hoping I can get a bottle for him as an anniversary gift. I was searching on the internet - no results so far. If you have any ideas don't hesitate to share with me!
Thank you so much!

I've read this article! Truly legendary.
There is something in it.

Forfreddie: Oh you must know how my hubby feels!
I can understand why he prefers it to the EDP, it is slightly more mellow but still has the same effect. I can't stop sniffing his neck when he's wearing it.
Oh dear,
I've been looking all over for the oil version, does anyone know where you can actually "sort-of" get ahold of this?
Surely there must be some place where they still carry it, unless the stores send them back when they are being pulled off the shelves.
Anyone who's been spotting the oil version semi-lately?
i cant seem to find it any were
Me neither. I gave up hope.
I know the Barneys NY in Chicago carries a damn impressive array of Malle. Perhaps you've got a Barneys NY close enough?
Unfortunately I don't, I'm from Europe.

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
I hadn't really realised just how scarce this had become, so I went direct to the horse's mouth (Malle cusotmer service) so to speak...
Me: "I am interested in obtaining Musc Ravaguer in the oil form. I am positive that it used to be offered, what happened? Where can I obtain some?"
Response from email@example.com: "Thank you for your inquiry. We no longer make this product and unfortunately, there is no more out there. I have done research for other clients with this request and come up empty handed."
Looks like ebay and others down down down on the distribution channels are where it's at, if it's at, at all --- besides, of course, our fortunate fellow basenoter above
I've seen it offered still on at least one French e-tailer: http://www.ombresportees.fr/frederic...-6889-120.html

2011: the highest milk price year in history
2011: the highest milk price year in history
Class III average was $18.37 per hundredweight
Hip, hip hooray! Now let's do it again.
Class III producer milk prices set an all-time record average of $18.37 per hundredweight in 2011. The old record was $18.04, set in 2007.
Unfortunately, record milk prices coincided with record feed prices. Talk about a "glass half-full versus half-empty" situation. Even though feed took the fun out of $18 milk, thank goodness the two price spikes happened together. Imagine the disaster if they hadn't.
Monthly prices in March, July and August were all-time records for those months. July and August were the only times Class III has ever hit $21, and August was the highest single-monthly price in Class III history.
A new record is nice, but let's be frank: Never has so much amounted to so little for so many. And in order for producers to stay profitable and continue recovering from 2009, how soon does a new record need to be set?
Eighteen-dollar milk just doesn't go very far these days. Efficiency improves by inches, not miles. Costs per head are cut by cents, not dollars. Belts eventually run out of holes to tighten. But cows always have to be fed, and that demands cash.
Many input costs look like they will be a bit lower this year. Diesel already is. Hay is forecast to be. Corn might. Let's hope it doesn't take $18 milk to cover everything because right now Class III futures for 2012 average out about $1 less than last year.
Records are meant to be broken, so let's hope it happens again this year . . . and then the next year and then the next. We could use it.

Homes both historic and new, spanning more than a century of local history, will be open to the public on Saturday for the third annual Hancock County Arts Council holiday home tour.
The tour, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature six homes - three in Chester, two in Weirton and one in New Cumberland - and the showroom of the Homer Laughlin China Co. in Newell.
"We just wanted to bring something to the community from our arts council that would be enjoyed by everyone," said Nancy Wright, president of the Hancock County Arts Council, which sponsors the tour each year.

The Chester home of Robert and Shelly Reed will be one of the stops during the third annual Hancock County Arts Council holiday home tour Saturday. (Submitted Photo)
"Some of the homes are very old, and there's history behind a lot of them," Wright said.
The arts council started the holiday home tour three years ago as a way to raise awareness of the arts in Hancock County, Wright said, and to raise money for community projects.
This year's homes are:
* The Robert and Shelly Reed home, formerly the Tallman family home, at 350 Carolina Ave., Chester;
* The Cynthia Jackson home, formerly the McDonald-Calcott home, at 630 Louisiana Ave., Chester;
* The Joe and Jodie Juszczak home at 1310 Woodland Court, Chester;
* The Marcy Grishkevich home at 1208 Ridge Ave., New Cumberland;
* The Joseph and Maria DiBartolomeo home at 229 Vista Drive, Weirton; and
* The Robert and Lea Shirer home at 4016 Palisades Drive, Weirton.
In addition, the Homer Laughlin showroom will be part of the tour. The showroom, on the third floor of the main building, "looks almost identical to how it looked in the 1930s," said Dan Williams, Homer Laughlin marketing manager.
Tour participants will be able to see different Fiesta shapes and colors, some of them retired, as well as Homer Laughlin products not available to the public, Williams said.
The oldest home on the tour is Grishkevich home in New Cumberland, built as a Methodist parsonage in the late 1800s, Wright said.
The Reed home in Chester was built in 1904 by the Tallman family, which owned and operated the Ceramic Theater. The family was known for giving out pieces of local dinnerware upon admission on "dish night," Wright said.
The McDonald-Calcott home, now owned by Cynthia Jackson, was built by James E. McDonald, one of the founders of Chester. Before there was a city hall, town meetings were held in a ballroom on the third floor of the house, Wright said.
The Juszczak home was built in 2004 in the Georgian style and includes five bedrooms. It will be featured in the winter issue of WV Living magazine.
Wright said all the homes will be decorated for the holidays.
The tour will open with a 9 a.m. reception at the Swaney Memorial Library on Court Street in New Cumberland, where the Dickens Carolers of the Hancock County Museum will give a performance. Tickets will be available for sale for $20 at the reception.
Tickets also are available in advance at the Lynn Murray Memorial Library, 601 Railroad St., Chester, or by calling the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau at 304-797-7001.
Visitors who get their tickets stamped at all seven sites can leave them at the last location to be entered in a drawing for a $500 Fiesta gift basket.
Proceeds from the ticket sales will be divided among the Women's Club of Weirton, the Women's Club of New Cumberland, the Chester Arts Club and Homer Laughlin.

Why Have a Telecommunications Law?: Anti-Discrimination Norms in Communications
Tim Wu
Columbia University - Law School
Journal on Telecommunications and High Technology Law, Vol. 5, p. 15, 2006
Columbia Public Law Research Paper No. 06-115
This paper presents telecommunications law with a challenge: how much of the present Telecommunication's Acts objectives might be accomplished with a focus on a central anti-discrimination rule? The one-rule model provides one answer. This rule should be (1) a general norm that is technologically neutral, (2) in the form of an ex ante rule with ex poste remedies, and (3) anchored on a model of consumers' rights. The form of the rule recommended here is hardly radical. It is, rather, something of a restatement of the best of telecommunications practice based on decades of telecommunications experience. It borrows from what, as best we can tell, has worked, while shunning the regimes with the greatest tendency toward corruption.

on October 3, 2012 - 8:49 PM
, updated October 4, 2012 at 8:50 PM
Catholic Health, its affiliated doctors and Independent Health announced Wednesday that they will offer a new health insurance option next year that lowers premiums in exchange for a more limited number of hospitals.
"Narrow" or "tiered" network health plans represent a trend sweeping the country as employers demand relief from skyrocketing health insurance costs.
They indicate a future in which many insured patients will face restrictions in choice of medical providers, and a blurring of the lines between hospitals and insurers.
They also reflect preparations for the start of major aspects of health reform in 2014 when states must develop new insurance marketplaces called "exchanges" where individuals and businesses can shop for coverage.
The Affordable Care Act, at its heart, is a market-based approach to reform, and hospitals, doctors and insurers are getting ready to serve millions more Americans who will have insurance under the law.
One of the new health plans will be known as First Choice and will be sold starting Jan. 1 to large employers – those with 200 or more employees – that self-insure, meaning the businesses manage their own health insurance.
First Choice will include all participating physicians in the Independent Health network. But these health plans incorporate "tiers," in which patients pay no or small co-payments if they use Catholic Health hospitals. Patients incur more expensive deductibles and co-insurance for using other medical providers.
Co-insurance is the percentage of medical expenses a patient is responsible for in addition to a deductible, which the patient needs to pay before the insurance company pays its share of expenses.
Catholic Health and its 900 affiliated physicians, Catholic Medical Partners, introduced First Choice to the hospital system's more than 8,000 employees in 2009 and then on a limited basis in 2010 to some of its Catholic partners, including the Diocese of Buffalo and Baker Victory Services. The savings on premiums have ranged from 8 percent to 25 percent and averaged 18 percent, officials said.
The other plan, yet to be named or approved by the state Insurance Department, will be marketed in mid-2013 to small-group employers who buy community-rated health insurance.
"We have a highly efficient hospital system and can show a demonstrated value in the care we provide," said Joseph McDonald, president and chief executive officer.
Catholic Health includes four hospitals – Mercy; Kenmore Mercy; Sisters of Charity; and Sisters of Charity, St. Joseph Campus – as well as nursing homes and primary care centers.
McDonald and others said the new health plans reflect growing interest in trying new approaches to deliver health care that can better control costs without sacrificing quality.
BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, which initially administered First Choice for Catholic Health, in April announced a similar initiative with Kaleida Health and another physicians group for employers that self-fund their insurance.
"The emphasis today is on creating value and shifting more decision-making to people in the health plans," said Dr. Michael Cropp, president and chief executive officer of Independent Health.
"The concept in health care of full availability of all doctors, especially when everyone is not of equal value, is going to be a thing of the past," he said.
Narrow networks resemble the controversial restrictions HMOs tried in the 1990s that consumers and doctors rejected. But officials say there are major differences today, including a more cooperative, rather than adversarial, relationship among the insurer, hospital system and doctors.
"Physicians are in the forefront of the system redesign," said Cropp. "We're moving into a more trusting relationship where we can complement each other."
One key reason for the difference is greater acceptance by employers and employees, because of the mounting financial burden of health insurance costs.
Other factors include better data technology for improving quality and tracking patients; a focus on care coordination, disease management and wellness; performance measurement; and risk-sharing payment arrangements among the organizations, according to officials.
"Part of the effort here is to bend the cost curve aggressively. We have to focus more attention on disease management, because the majority of the costs in health care arise in the disease state," said McDonald.
Despite their growing popularity, such integrated networks with their tiered benefit plans prompt questions, such as just how much they can manage costs and move away from paying for the amount of care provided, rather than for the quality of the care.
Regardless, their resurgence could reshape the commercial insurance market for tens of millions of Americans, said William Eggbear, managing director of BDC Advisors, a Miami, Fla.-based health care consulting company.
"The restrictive networks of the 1990s were really focused on cost. Now, with physicians aligned in these new plans, it's more about being efficient while providing quality care," Eggbear said.
In a report issued earlier this year, BDC Advisors concluded that the commercial market in the U.S. will likely transition to a market in which most consumers receive insurance and care from tightly managed, competing narrow networks, unless they can afford something better.
"To be competitive, employers will have to control their benefit costs," he said.

Comments: I purchased these pants about a month ago. I play 5-6 times a month. Regrettably, the upper strap that tightens the "belly" pad, developed two tears. As tough as these pants seem to be constructed, I am surprised this belt was sewn so poorly. Sadly, I am returning them.

It wasn't pretty. It wasn't artistic. But it was a win.
Good teams find a way to win, and for the fourth time in a row, Columbian found a way.
After starting out the season 1-5, Columbian has clawed back to the .500 mark after a 45-38 victory over Oak Harbor.
"That's our kids; they're gritty," said Columbian coach Bill Beaston. "They're going come out, they're going to work hard, they're going to play hard and they're going to find a way. They've worked their tails off to get to .500. They're excited and they're looking forward to extending it."
Evening up its record wasn't easy for Columbian on a night where the defenses reigned supreme. Both teams struggled with their shooting, especially in the first half. Columbian led 5-3 after the first quarter, and 15-12 at halftime despite shooting 27 percent (6 for 22) and missing all eight of its 3-point attempts.
The Tornado defense, however, was causing even more problems for Oak Harbor, as the Rockets went to the locker room shooing 17 percent (4 for 23) and 2 of 14 from behind the 3-point arc.
Fact Box
|Columbian 45, Oak Harbor 38
|Oak Harbor (4-5): Austin Wiegand 3-3-9; Andy Rathbun 2-2-8; Cole Weirich 0-1-1; A.J. Cecil 5-1-13; Sam Laderach 2-0-4; Josh Sarahman 0-0-0; Greg Haar 2-0-5. Totals: 14-7-38.
|Columbian (5-5): Alec Demith 0-0-0; Bryce Lonsway 4-6-14; Josh Flint 3-4-10; Connor Conley 0-0-0; Donovan Walker 0-1-1; Ryan Lynch 0-0-0; Derek Dryfuse 2-1-5; Cody Daniel 5-5-15. Totals: 14-17-45.
|Oak Harbor
|20 — 38
|17 — 45
|Field goals: Oak Harbor 14-58; Columbian 14-43
|3-point goals: Oak Harbor 3-26 (Cecil 2, Haar); Columbian 0-10.
|Foul shots: Oak Harbor 7-14; Columbian 17-22
|Rebounding: Oak Harbor 32 (Weigand 8); Columbian 42 (Daniel 12, Lonsway 6, Lynch 6)
|Turnovers: Oak Harbor 12; Columbian 20
"We stopped their shooters," said Columbian's Cody Daniel. "We always closed out and stayed on our feet most of the game, didn't jump on their ball fakes."
"We kept them on the perimeter which is one thing we want to do," Beaston said. "We watched them on film, they seemed to be a lot better in the paint, so we wanted to keep them out of there. But the big thing was with their 3's. They got kids that can shoot, but they were all contested. I don't remember a lot of wide open 3's tonight. That was important."
Beaston also pointed to his team's rebounding edge as a key to the game. Columbian out-rebounded Oak Harbor 42-32, led by Daniel, who hauled in a game-high 12 boards.
"And lastly, we boxed," Beaston said. "We rebounded the snot out of the ball tonight. They were one-and-done a majority of the time, and when you can do that in high school basketball, you're going to win a lot of games."
Beaston said one of the key stretches to the game was coming out of halftime when the Tornadoes posted the half's first nine points. Included in that run were a pair of field goals from Daniel and two Bryce Lonsway foul shots after a technical foul was called on Oak Harbor coach Eric Sweet.
Columbian extended its lead to 28-18 heading into the fourth.
"Both teams struggled offensively in the first half," Beaston said. "The big thing we stressed at halftime was that we had to continue to play solid defense, which we did throughout the second half. And then we just talked about getting the ball inside a little bit more. Try to be a little more patient, move the ball a little quicker, find some gaps to get into and get the ball inside. We did that the first four minutes, scored the first nine points and that was the difference in the game."
However, despite carrying a 17 percent shooting percentage into the final quarter, Oak Harbor was able to give itself a chance to win. In the final quarter alone Oak Harbor exceeded its scoring output from the first three quarters combined, and hit more field goals - 8- than it had so far in the game - 6.
"I've been around this game my entire life and that's the one thing I've had instilled in me from day 1, 'it doesn't matter the score, you play defense,'" Sweet said. "Because at some point, you're defense is going to create some offense for you. And we got some offense off our defense tonight. I don't allow my kids ever to take defense off, because when we struggle offensively, look what happened tonight. We got in the game because we started battling."
Sweet, though, pointed out two turning points in the final quarter. The first came with Columbian up five and Daniel at the free throw line. He hit his first shot and missed his second, but he was able to grab his own offensive rebound and put it back for two more points.
"Their mistake was not boxing out," Daniel said. "We actually worked hard and worked for our offensive rebounds. It's something coach helps us with."
Soon after, with Columbian still up eight, an intentional foul was called on the Tornadoes. However, Oak Harbor missed both foul shots, then couldn't convert on its ensuing offensive possession.
Sweet said after a rough first half, he was proud of the way his team responded, but too many plays went against them.
"Horrible first half for us. We played sloppy; we played soft," he said. "Second half we gave ourselves a chance. I couldn't ask much more from my guys. Couple big swings, one was the offensive rebound off the free throw putback, and then the intentional foul we got called for us, we go 0 for 2, then we miss an open 3. When you're shooting 24 percent, and you're in the game, you're doing something right, but at some point a shot's got to go down. Someone has to step up and hit a big shot and nobody stepped up tonight to hit the big shot for us."
The Rockets (4-5) rallied and get within four on a couple of occasions in the final minutes, but Columbian came up with big stops when it needed to, and hit on 11 of 16 foul shots in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
"We had to fight a little bit on defense," Daniel said. "We got a lot of stops so that helped us. And then we slowed down their offense towards the end and got our shots up, got our makes in.
"The mindset was that we got to play harder, we got to stop them. Then we got to score before they score on us."
Daniel recorded a double-double, adding 15 points to his 12 rebounds. Lonsway backed him with 14 points while Josh Flint added 10. A.J. Cecil led Oak Harbor with 13 points, eight coming in the fourth quarter.

By Greg Connors
Today will be the first time this season that CBS NFL analyst Dan Fouts sees the Buffalo Bills play in person. This week, though, he's done enough studying about the team that he could probably give the Houston Texans a few lessons about Buffalo's tendencies.
"The Internet provides every article that everybody's written," Fouts said this past week, describing his preparation routine in a phone conversation with The News. "There are DVDs from every game that are out there to be watched. I interview coaches on the phone, we meet with coaches and players when we get there. And, we talk to opposing teams, too, about who's playing. It's a full-time job."
Play-by-play man Ian Eagle will be paired with Fouts for the game against the Texans. Fouts said he knows plenty about this year's Bills from watching them on tape. Where does he seem them in the tightly bunched AFC East?
"[The division] is wide open," he said. "We get [to broadcast] the Bills next week against New England as well. So there's opportunity there for the Bills to make a dent and stay in the race."
What does the Hall of Fame quarterback who starred in San Diego's Air Coryell offense think about the Bills' sometimes vertically challenged QB? Fouts was careful in his answer.
"I usually like to wait to see him in person before I give too much of an assessment," Fouts said. "I know that, like any quarterback, he'd like to cut down on the turnovers. And, if he does that then the Bills have a good chance of winning. But the history has been, with the turnovers, it's tough to overcome at times."
As Fouts, Eagle, and their writers and producers will no doubt remind us during the broadcast, this is a homecoming game for defensive end Mario Williams. Williams' struggles to make his mark with the Bills are well-known in Western New York. Not so well known is exactly what has been ailing Williams' wrist, and what procedure did he have done on it last week. Fouts is willing to give Williams the benefit of the doubt about his injury.
"I think the biggest problem has been that his wrist has been bad all year," Fouts said. "When you play a position like that, you need two arms and two hands to play. Hopefully he'll be better this weekend.
"And he'll be jacked up [facing his former team], there's no question. I think that's a good thing. He'll make his presence felt because it means something to him."
Fouts is a veteran broadcaster, having called pro and college football games on CBS, ABC, ESPN and other outlets. He has worked with Dick Enberg, Dick Stockton, James Brown, Verne Lundquist, Jim Nantz, Jack Buck, Brent Musburger and Keith Jackson, among many others. He is now in his third season working alongside Eagle.
"I'm happy working with Ian," Fouts said. "I hope that people notice the chemistry we have. We work hard together but we have a good time together as well. I have worked with the greatest of all time - when you look at the guys I've worked with -- and I would put Ian right up there with them."
Peters strikes back
A Zen question for a Sunday morning: What is the sound of one fist punching?
The punches were of the verbal variety last week, when former Sabres tough guy Andrew Peters reacted on Twitter to a tweet from WGR Radio's Mike Schopp. Peters had appeared on the station's team-sponsored morning show, Sabres Hockey Hotline, on Tuesday to discuss the NHL lockout. Schopp did not find Peters' opinions very enlightening.
"This defense by Andrew Peters of the hockey players' position on WGR is embarrassing and pathetic," Schopp tweeted.
Peters, a frequent guest on the station, didn't appreciate being called out by the radio host. (Do radio guys ever just settle things in the room? Do they have a room?)
Here is a sampling of Peters' comments that he tweeted to Schopp:
• "It was gutless ... plain and simple!"
• "Ya well why should i just go away? i fought to defend my teammates, why would i not fight to defend myself."
• "Your mouth sets off car alarms MIKE"
• "You would think that. if polls read fans 75% in favor of players you'd be whistling a different tune. and dont say you wouldn't"
• "That to me is embarrassing and pathetic. keep catering to the listeners. do you have a thought of your own on this matter?"
• "Nope, im sorry but he touched a nerve today. if he can write that what he did, so can i. so can you."
• " I didn't know that voicing my opinion was worthy of such a disrespectful tweet. next time you come after me, do it face to face."
• "Oh, one last thing ... my argument is from my NHL experience ... yours? oh thats right, you have to read the paper first."
Schopp did not reply publicly to any of Peters' tweets. Reached by The News on Friday, Schopp said he was not tempted to reply to them, and then "respectfully declined" further comment.
If Schopp should happen to be paired with Peters at next summer's WGR golf tournament, that would be a group worth bidding for a spot in.
