Thomas Vanek got a glimpse of life alongside Cody Hodgson at the end of last season. The two skated together for the final 11 outings, and Vanek put up a point per game with three goals and eight assists. Obviously, he liked the combination.
Hodgson's audition next to the Buffalo Sabres' most potent scorer deserved an encore, so coach Lindy Ruff began the season Sunday with the center in the middle of Vanek and right wing Jason Pominville. Obviously, Vanek still likes it.
Vanek had the best day of his career during a 5-2 victory over Philadelphia, scoring twice and adding three assists as a sellout crowd in First Niagara Center welcomed the NHL back in a rollicking way.
"It's a lot of luck when you get that many points," said Vanek, who had the best outing by a Buffalo player in five years. "I was fortunate every pass I made went in, and when I scored, I scored. You won't have many of those nights. You enjoy it, you like the win and you move on."
Vanek can attribute the outing to luck all he wants, but he earned the avalanche of points. He skated hard, controlled pucks, made nice passes and tortured the Flyers and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.
"He's got a lot of special talents, and he used them all," said Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers, who snapped a 2-2 tie with 5:03 left.
Myers' goal was one of three power-play tallies for the Sabres, who went 3 for 6 with the man advantage in a game that featured 20 penalties. Steve Ott opened the scoring and Hodgson added the fourth goal. Pominville had three assists.
"That line was the difference," Ruff said. "Van was fabulous, [Hodgson] was terrific and Pommer was right somewhere between those two. We look at those guys as being our top line that can push us to that next level."
Hodgson is embracing the top-line opportunity he has craved. He wanted out of Vancouver because he was stuck on the third line, and skating with Pominville and Vanek means significant minutes.
"He's pretty excited about this opportunity he's getting," Pominville said. "He took advantage of it."
The Sabres took advantage of the Flyers' trips to the penalty box. The opening goal of the season came with 11:07 gone and gave the power play a perfect start.
Vanek, from behind the net, fed Pominville near the bottom of the left circle. The captain spotted Ott alone in the slot, and the newcomer crouched low to rip a one-timer past Bryzgalov.
The Flyers caught the Sabres flat-footed to start the second. Philadelphia took the first five shots and needed less than five minutes to take a 2-1 lead on goals by Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux.
The Sabres' power play struck again to tie the game with 4:06 left in the second, and Vanek's goal was a beauty.
Pominville, from his own zone, hit Drew Stafford along the boards at the Flyers' blue line. Vanek took off down the middle, got behind Philly's defensemen and accepted Stafford's pass for a breakaway.
Bryzgalov didn't stand a chance. Vanek made one deke left, the goalie bit and the winger went around him on the right to dump the puck into an empty net.
"We talked about playing the game quick, not slowing it down, which we were pretty good at in the past," Vanek said. "That was a good example of that."
Myers had just hopped off the bench to join the play on the winning goal. He rushed into the Flyers' zone, got a cross-ice pass from Tyler Ennis and spotted Vanek in front. Myers kept his shot along the ice in hopes of a deflection, and the puck hit Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen and caromed through Bryzgalov's legs.
The goalie stopped Vanek on a breakaway with just under four minutes to play, but the rebound popped into the air and landed in the crease. Hodgson rushed in to tip it home, with the puck going off his skates and stick as he hit the brakes in the blue paint.
"I had three or four point-blank shots earlier in the game, and all it took was for me to stop in front of the net for me to get one," he said.
Vanek, fittingly, sent the crowd of 19,070 home with an empty-net breakaway goal in the final minute. He and the Sabres hopped on the bus for tonight's game in Toronto after giving the fans a stick-waving salute from center ice.
"Our line played real well," Hodgson said. "There's always openings out there and lots of free ice playing with those guys because guys key on them so much. I just try to complement them as much as possible."

Berkeley County Council has passed its budget for the current fiscal year after months of wrangling and a slew of last-minute amendments that, in the words of one councilman, dig into the fund balance.
The $61 million budget is a 0.5 percent increase over last years $58 million budget, and reflects an increase in projected revenue. The tax bill wont look any different from the previous year because of the budget, according to county Real Property Director Wilson Baggett.
The budget passed without dissent but with 11 amendments during Mondays regular meeting of council. Last year, it took until September for the council to pass the $58-million budget. The fiscal year closed at the end of June without a new budget after council deferred it during the June 23 meeting.
This years amendments included:
Eliminating debt owed to the county by Cypress Gardens
Using accommodation fee fund to pay for a $25,000 marketing campaign for Cypress Gardens as a wedding venue
Changing the overtime policy to time-and-a-half for detention center employees to the tune of $435,000 out of the fund balance
Purchasing 15 law enforcement replacement vehicles at $571,000 out of the contingency fund
Using $115k from the fund balance for contribution to retirement fund that has run into deficit
The only amendment proposed that did not pass was an immediate 3 percent merit raise for county employees. Councilman Caldwell Pinckney made the amendment and pointed to all of the other amendments taking money from the fund balance.
If we are going to dig into our fund balance, lets dig a little deeper. Lets give something to our employees, Pinckney said. Employees are the backbone of the county.
After the amendment failed, Councilman Tim Callanan made an amendment that a merit raise be looked at after Jan. 1, 2015. That amendment passed.

July 3, 1905 – April 4, 2013
Louise Hutt, a former teacher and dairy store owner who was active in the community, died April 4 at her home in Sun City, Fla. She was 107.
She never suffered from a chronic illness and never had surgery. Mrs. Hutt played golf into her 80s, swam throughout her 90s and was still playing bridge when she was 105.
Born in an apartment on Niagara Street in Black Rock, she attended Buffalo Schools 20 and 50. She was a teenager during World War I and lived through the flu epidemic of 1918, although her aunt and uncle died within a day of each other.
She earned a degree in elementary teaching from Buffalo Normal School, where she joined Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority.
The former Louise Fraser graduated in 1925 and taught in Schools 45 and 66. She gave up the job when she married Lester Hutt in 1928.
The couple raised their family in Kenmore, where they lived for 40 years. Mr. Hutt was president of Hutt's Dairy in Riverside. During World War II, the dairy bought a dairy store near the Bell Aircraft and Westinghouse factories.
At the request of the government, the store stayed open 24 hours a day to accommodate the three shifts of workers at the plants during World War II. Mrs. Hutt spent 12 hours a day supervising the store.
She was a leader in many community organizations, and co-chairwoman of the fundraising drive to build Kenmore Mercy Hospital, the first hospital in Buffalo's northern suburbs.
She was chairwoman of the Kenmore division of the Community Chest, president of the Alumna Chapter of her sorority, a volunteer at Buffalo General and Kenmore Mercy hospitals and a member of the Kenmore Girl Scouts board and the Erie County Girl Scouts Council.
She was president of the Altar Guild at the Episcopal Church of the Advent and of the Episcopal Church Home Associate Board of Managers. At the conclusion of her term on the Church Home board, she was instrumental in combining the men's and women's boards into one joint board.
She and her husband moved to Sun City in 1966, where he died in 1968.
Survivors include a son, Peter B., and a daughter, Sally Nelson.

I say let's put armed law abiding citizens on every street corner. I say to Congress, fund this tomorrow. See someone selling drugs, shoot em. See someone stealing a car, shoot em. See someone using an unathorized credit card, shoot em. See someone shoplifting, shoot em. There are many non-violent crimes that this would cure. This clearly will solve the problem and look at all the money saved.

There were likely no flowers or candy exchanged on Feb. 14 between Josh Brolin and soon-to-be ex-wife Diane Lane.
Lane signed her divorce documents on Valentine's Day, documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court reveal. Lane also cited Feb. 13 as the date of their official separation, although a source tells PEOPLE it was earlier than that.
"They've been separated for several months. This was a hard decision for both of them to make," says a source close to the couple of their split. "The relationship just ran its course."
The pair, who married in a 2004 ceremony at Brolin's central California ranch, were first introduced by the actor's stepmother, Barbra Streisand, at a party in 2002.
Brolin, 45, was recently arrested and held for public intoxication just before midnight on New Year's Eve 2013, but he was released without charge.

The purpose of this paper is to point out the facts that infants fed on ordinary commercial unsweetened evaporated milk as a substitute for breast milk grow satisfactorily in every respect when no sugar or other carbohydrate is added to the daily formula, provided the milk is used in amounts sufficient to satisfy total caloric needs. Breast feeding should be given if it is possible, since an infant thrives best when fed breast milk. Both morbidity and mortality are lower in breast-fed babies,1 and every other evidence of growth, nutrition and development indicates the advantages of breast feeding. But it is also true that there are exceptional instances in which breast-fed babies may be inadequately nourished and such conditions as tetany, anemia and, more often, general but less specific malnutrition may occur. These conditions are related more often to the physical health of the nursing mother and to her

Following a nationwide search, the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors (CTAR) and Charleston Trident Multiple Listing Service (MLS) has named their new Chief Executive Officer. Wil Riley, a Summerville native and an experienced Realtor. Broker and Association management executive will succeed Terry Hyde Ketchem as CEO on April 1.
2013 CTAR President Owen Tyler has been leading the Association through this transition period and worked closely with the CEO search committee, comprised of Realtor members and past leadership. Former Association President Chris Fraser led the CEO search committee through the selection and interview process, which included consideration of well-known industry leaders as well as successful executives from other areas of business. At decision time, the committee concluded that Riley's expertise coupled with his vision of how to move the Association forward cemented him as the best candidate for the position.
"I am thrilled that someone with such strong ties to our area and more importantly, the Realtor Association will be picking up where I leave off" said Terry Hyde Ketchem, the 26-year veteran CEO of CTAR. "Wil's 15 year history as an agent and broker, as well as his 4 years of Association management experience, first at the Coastal Carolina Association and the last two years here at CTAR will be invaluable as he leads the Association into the future" said Ketchem.
Riley's vision is one that melds past, present and future: "Our Association thrives under a CEO that understands the importance of our historical roots while aggressively seeking innovative opportunities for growth and development, one that will seek out products and services that will provide our members with the maximum return on investment for their membership. I am excited about being that CEO and look forward to working with our current staff, leadership and Association leaders across the state to keep Charleston, and South Carolina at the forefront of our industry" said Riley.
Riley will succeed Terry Hyde Ketchem as CEO following her retirement on March 31.
About Wil
Wil Riley has spent much of his life right here in the Lowcountry—born and raised in Summerville, Riley has positioned himself as a fixture of the north-area business and philanthropic communities. Following his graduation from Summerville High School, Riley left the Lowcountry only briefly, to earn his BS in Accounting from Clemson University. Upon his return, he co-founded Riley Lumber, where he and his father enjoyed a successful business and Wil took his first steps into management—overseeing the accounting and personnel needs for the company, which would eventually expand to 16 employees.
In 1997, Riley took the opportunity to transition the business and management principles he had honed during his time with the family business to forge his own path into the real estate industry. Riley spent several years as a broker-associate with Prudential Carolina Real Estate, helping Lowcountry families with their real estate needs. In 2001, he took a position that allowed him to focus on his leadership, management and business development skills and became the Broker-In-Charge of Century 21 Properties Plus in Summerville.
During his time as a practicing Realtor Riley began building his relationship with the local, state and national Realtor Associations and local MLS. He has served as a national (2007-08) and state director (2004-09) as well as the local board (2003-09), of which he was named President in 2008. His service on the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce's Education Foundation (2006-07) and Economic Outlook Board (2003-04) allowed him to gain experience and expand his network in the local business community.
After more than a decade on the sales side of the business, Riley turned his sights to the Realtor Assocaition he was already so familiar with, and took a position with the Coastal Carolina Association of Realtor in Myrtle Beach. As their Vice President of Finance and Administration, Riley developed a sound understanding of the inner workings of the Realtor Association and MLS and futhered his knowledge when he moved back to his native Lowcountry in 2011 to take the position of Vice President of Operations at CTAR.
"The absence of a significant learning curve will be a great benefit to our membership as I transition out of my role and Wil steps into his. He is so familiar with the inner workings of our Association, the MLS and works so well with our staff and leadership, it should be a seamless transition" said Ketchem.
Riley is looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. "As an Association, we cannot ever rest on our laurels. We must push forward—growing and changing—to remain a leaders in providing our members with premier business resources, support and access to cutting-edge industry technologies" he said.
In addition to his expanding duties at the Association, Wil is active as a parishoner and leader at St. Paul's Church in Summerville and enjoys spending time with his family. He lives in Summerville with his wife Ann, an elementary school teacher and their children, daughter Logan (currently attending Clemson University) and son Walker, an accomplished soccer player.

Tapestry-woven panel showing a dolphin
4th or 5th century
Wool and undyed linen
Museum no. 1302-1888
These small naturalistic woven motifs were produced in the 4th to 6th centuries by early Egyptian Christians called Copts. The textiles are referred to as Coptic textiles. The motifs used include a quail, a basket of fruit and a dolphin. Another example includes flowers, and has birds and heads of women in the centre. These pieces were used as decoration on tunics, covers or hangings. The central brown square in which the basket of fruit is placed, and the border of fruit round the edge, are stitched at both sides but not at the top and bottom, where slits that occurred during weaving have been stitched together later.

TAMPA, Fla. – It's easy to see Cory Conacher is having a blast being an NHL rookie. His smile is present on and off the ice.
He's making a point of spreading the joy.
During Tampa Bay's morning skate Tuesday, the Lightning left winger skated toward the boards and spotted a young man with Down syndrome. Conacher did a couple of tricks with the puck, then picked it up, walked through the bench area and handed the man the souvenir. The fan smiled and showed it to his friend a few rows back.
Minutes later, the former Canisius College star saw a kid in the corner of the rink and flipped a puck to the boy. He smiled, too.
Yes, it's easy to see Conacher and Tampa Bay are quite a fit.
"It's such a nice setup here in Tampa," Conacher said before facing the Buffalo Sabres in a game in which he assisted on the Tampa Bay goal in a 2-1 loss. "The fans are awesome. The city's awesome. It's just a dream. It's been an awesome season so far."
Friends come quickly off the ice when players do well on it. After dominating the American Hockey League last season, Conacher is proving his skills translate to the top level. He ended his night Tuesday with seven goals and 18 points in 19 games for the Lightning.
"He's just a relentless player," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "He's fearless. He'll get bumped around and he's back on his feet in a fraction of a second, back in the play, getting a shot and paying the price.
"I like relentless players. That's my identity, so when I see somebody like that, I like working with those guys. Yeah, they'll make some mistakes, but they're first on the puck. They'll pay the price to get hit, to make a play, and he does that."
Boucher entered the season with Conacher penciled into a top-six role, and the 23-year-old quickly showed the coach he'd made a smart decision. Conacher recorded five goals and seven assists in the opening seven games. He assisted on Tampa Bay's opening goal Tuesday to extend his points streak to six games while skating alongside All-Star center Steven Stamkos and left wing Teddy Purcell.
"Cory is so fast out there," Stamkos said. "He's not afraid to go in the corners, get the puck and go in front of the net. I think we all just complement each other."
Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston is among those who pegged Conacher for big-league success. The former Rochester coach saw Conacher earn the honor of AHL Most Valuable Player last season and faced him during the lockout, too.
"He's got great speed, he's a really smart player, and he goes to the traffic areas," Rolston said. "Those are three things that are deadly for offensive players, and he does them all. It was just a matter of time before he was here."
Though the arrival was expected, it's still surreal for Conacher. He grew up idolizing Martin St. Louis, and now he skates with him.
"It's been such a dream for me to even be able to be in the same room as some of these guys and guys I've watched on TV for so long," Conacher said.
It was a bit mind-blowing to face the Sabres, too.
A few of Conacher's teammates at Canisius had season tickets in Buffalo, so he would often join them at First Niagara Center.
"It's just like I'm at a Buffalo Sabres game almost, but I'm playing in it," Conacher said. "I've already got some text messages from people I went to school with to try and take it easy on Buffalo a little bit."
Sabres defenseman Jordan Leopold missed his fourth straight game, including his third with an upper-body injury. He joined his teammates toward the end of the morning skate but wore just a baseball cap and sweatsuit.
"He's getting better," Rolston said. "He's starting to get some exercise in and move. Each day is a better sign, but it's still a day-to-day process for him."
The return of Adam Pardy from Rochester forced Rolston to change his defense pairings. Pardy skated alongside Mike Weber, Robyn Regehr started next to Andrej Sekera, and Christian Ehrhoff partnered with Tyler Myers.

You're living in the ancient past. Sigma's primary motivation now is image quality not price. Sigma has been releasing lenses that blow their competitors out of the water in quality at around or slightly below their competitors prices:If you have any doubts take a look at these real world samples:Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 vs Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 @ f/2.8http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=854&Camera=736&FLI=0&API=2&LensComp=398&Sample=0&CameraComp=736&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=854&Camera=736&Sample=0&FLI=1&API=2&LensComp=398&CameraComp=736&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=1&APIComp=0http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=854&Camera=736&Sample=0&FLI=3&API=2&LensComp=398&CameraComp=736&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=2&APIComp=0http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=854&Camera=736&Sample=0&FLI=4&API=2&LensComp=398&CameraComp=736&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=3&APIComp=0There's no comparison, the Sigma is in an entirely different league of image quality. Their 35mm f/1.4 is likewise better:http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=829&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=121&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0And their 85mm f/1.4 is both sharper than Canon's 85mm f/1.2 II, and has much less purple fringing (the f/1.2 II has so much you can't even correct it automatically, which is why I use the Sigma)http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=756&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=397&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=1Sigma makes a better lens that Canon does. Sometimes much better, this is the new Sigma.I would be very surprised if the 24-105mm OS wasn't marginally better and I'd be very happy if it blew the Canon out of the water like they did with the f/1.8 zoom.
I second that. The Sigma 85mm 1.4 is no match for the 85L, especially not for the bokeh (yes, there is more than sharpness, even if I think the Canon is sharper @f1.4). http://www.flickr.com/photos/63271580@N00/6627475291#@Radiating: I really like what Sigma is doing at the moment, but keep the feet at the ground!
if I didn't already have a 105 I might consider this... but I do... and if I am going to upgrade it would probably be to the 24-70 mkii... so this really doesn't do much for me other than maybe deflate the of of my current 105.

Simon was really nice. The location is good (really in front of the subway). The room is small but it's a common thing in Hong Kong. It's really clean.
Simon is correct! I am one of his regulars because both he and Annie have been so helpful and willing, when they can, to accommodate changes in my schedule. Their place is neat and clean and so conveniently located for both MTR and city buses. Additionally for those traveling to the airport, the A21 stop is virtually outside their door.
I should have written this review months ago. I will include some information regarding my November stay as well. As a result of circumstances beyond my control, I had to extend my stay. Simon willingly let me stay longer and also found me another place to stay because of his being completely booked up. To top it all off, when I was leaving Annie came with me carrying half of my heavy luggage, to the new location. She introduced me to the proprietor and mad sure I approved of my room. Now, that's what I call service beyond all expectations!
Simon and Annie were very nice hosts and made our stay very comfortable. A really clean place, small but that's normal in Hong Kong. Very good location just beside the Metro!
As usual, Simon was very helpful in making the stay not only enjoyable but easy as well, offering to extend my stay because of the typhoon. This, plus the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, is why I keep returning to stay here. I recommend this conveniently located place. I will keep coming back!
The best location for a place to stay in Hong Kong if you want to travel anywhere! Literally next to the MTR that connects to Central. Mini-markets, brekkie restos and chemists downstairs next to the entrance (even a gambling hall, haha)
The room was clean and everything worked properly. The doorman was also polite and ready to open the door at night hours!
(And the most patient and understanding host ever... I got lost and Simon waited for me for half a day. Still sorry for that. Thank goodness Simons english was really good for Hong Kong measures!)
Thanks a lot for the stay, i'll definitely keep it first place!
I would definitely recommend Simon and Annie's place in Yau Ma Tei. Living space is cramped, but is regular/average for downtown HK. What I think makes their guesthouse special and attractive to the traveling tourist is the low price and the helpfulness of the hosts. If you are looking for an affordable, clean guesthouse in a great location them I would definitely recommend contacting the hosts. Simon and Annie were both easy to contact and very helpful. Check their place out!

ABS, Genes Diffusion Alliance to Expand Dairy and Beef Genetics Offerings and Distribution
ABS, Genes Diffusion Alliance to Expand Dairy and Beef Genetics Offerings and Distribution
The parent company of ABS Global – Genus plc. -- and Genes Diffusion have signed an agreement for mutual international distribution of Holstein and beef genetics.
Genus plc. operates in more than 80 countries, primarily under the "ABS Global" and "Genus ABS" names for dairy and beef cattle genetics, and "PIC" for swine genetics. Genes Diffusion is a French-based cooperative with distribution in more than 40 countries.
"This exciting development will allow dairy and beef producers globally to benefit from a wider choice of sires," said Ricardo Campos, chief operating officer for Genus. The alliance also is likely to increase exports for ABS.
Genes Diffusion members will gain access to ABS genetics, as well the ability to market Genes Diffusion genetics to an expanded customer base.
Farmers in Europe, Latin America and Asia are likely to see the early benefits of the alliance. "The increased availability of diverse dairy and beef animal pedigrees will bring greater genetic variability to our customers," says Campos.
For example, the Genes Diffusion dairy portfolio has bulls for milk-component genetics, and its a world-class Charolais lineup for beef. Genes Diffusion also has a strong technical service program for smaller farms. ABS brings strength in genetics for larger commercial herds.
The alliance also will allow for research and development synergies that will help dairy producers increase production and efficiency. Genes Diffusion is based at the Intitut Pasteur de Lille, in Lille, France, and it is involved in partnerships with several universities internationally.
"Both partners will have an opportunity to enhance their genetic offerings," he continues. "Working together, we can help improve customer profitability by adding more value to the genetics for their cattle-breeding programs. The alliance also fits well into the Genus vision of pioneering animal genetic improvement to help nourish the world."

I'm just worried that even if both sides are willing, it will still not be feasible to not cancel the rest of the games in December as it takes time to work out the many minor details of a CBA after the major hurdles are overcome.
My girlfriend bought a couple tickets for us to go to a Grand Rapid Griffins game at the end of the year. I'm selfishly hoping that the lockout isn't resolved by then, so I can see Brendan Smith and Nyqvist (as they are really the main reason she bought the tickets). But I also don't want the NHL season to be cancelled entirely, so there's a very fine range of dates I'm rooting for.

For the first time, Civic is offering special reduced price tickets to opening weekend and Super Thursdays during the show's run.
Across the street from Civic in the galleries of Theatre514 and Blink Optical Boutique are the works of Allentown artist and designer John Gaydos in the exhibit, "Feast for the Eyes," through Nov. 10. In his statement, Gaydos said he has always enjoyed "the challenge of painting light and shadow and their effect on a given form. Light, continuously changing, makes the exploration of the image constantly exciting." Gaydos has used watercolor and acrylic in creating his images and most recently collage. One of his most recent and recognizable works, "Yocco's Hot Dogs," was the poster art for the Lehigh Valley Arts Council's first Art for Everyone benefit auction of affordable art.
An artist's reception will be held in both galleries on Third Friday, Oct. 18, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, February 15, 2014
Bishop England junior B.J. Grevey scored his 1,000th point Friday as the Bishops fell, 62-47, to Ridgeland at home.
Grevey scored a game-high 14 points, reaching the career milestone with a free throw in the fourth quarter. He joins Lady Bishops seniors Michele Boykin and Mary Harriet Moore, who joined the exclusive club earlier this season.
Ridgeland (18-5, 13-1) entered Friday with the Class AA Region VI championship and No. 1 playoff seed already in hand. With the loss, Bishop England (11-13, 7-7) now awaits the results of Saturdays games to decide their playoff fate.
If Burke and Academic Magnet both lose, the Bishops are in as the Region VI No. 4 seed. If Burke and Academic Magnet both win, the region would have a three-team playoff Sunday and Monday for the fourth playoff spot. If either wins and the other loses, Bishop England plays the winner Monday.
Bishop England struggled to find an offensive rhythm early Friday, instead relying on 6-7 free-throw shooting to keep pace in the first quarter. The Bishops managed four field goals through the first half, while Ridgeland opened an eight-point lead in the second quarter.
Terrance Frazier helped extend a 14-point Ridgeland lead with 10 points in the third. The Bishops turned in their highest-scoring quarter of the night with 16 points in the fourth but couldnt slow Ridgelands offense long enough to threaten.
T.J. Frazier scored 12, and C.J. Mitchell added 11 to lead Ridgeville. Dillon Corbett and Robert Butler both scored nine for Bishop England.
The Bishops will now wait and see, as Burke faces North Charleston and Academic Magnet travels to Battery Creek Saturday.

On Sunday, May 30, Reagan's son Michael drove to his father's home. There, he and his family spent time with his dad, "just standing by his bedside and holding his hand. He was sleeping. That was pretty normal for the past year. He'd spent a good deal of his time sleeping." During a visit a few days later, Michael, 59, an L.A. radio talk show host, took his wife, Colleen, and their two children outside, where they formed a circle in the driveway. "We prayed over the house and over Dad. We asked that he would go in a peaceful way," he says.
On Saturday, June 5, another call came, this one urgent. Delayed by traffic, Michael arrived at the house and found the family – Nancy, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis, 51, who lives nearby, and son Ron, 46, who had flown in from vacation in Hawaii – in Nancy's bedroom sitting on the couch. His father had died minutes before. "The door was closed where Dad was," Michael says. "We hugged. We knew that he was with angels, where he always wanted to be, and then I went in and visited with my father. I kissed him on the forehead and I said the Our Father. He gave us all strength."

Charlotte-based filmmaker Michael Elliott has produced a couple of well-received wrestling documentaries in the past.
But nothing had come close to approaching his most recent venture.
"Jim Crockett Promotions: The Good Old Days," chronicling the longtime Charlotte-based promotion and its rich legacy, provides a nostalgic glimpse at one of old school wrestling's most revered territories.
Elliott spent the past year interviewing wrestlers, promoters, journalists, historians and photographers about the Crockett years.
"This documentary was by far the biggest thing I have ever worked on because it's such a key piece in wrestling history," says Elliott. "This is a promotion that draws the fans' attention 25 years after it was sold and went out of business."
But to do the project justice, Elliott knew that he somehow had to find a way to convince the key remaining figure, Jim Crockett Jr., to cooperate.
Crockett Jr., now 69, ran the company from 1973-88. He was the eldest son of promoter Jim Crockett Sr. who, at the age of 35, founded his own pro wrestling company in Charlotte where he would sustain a flourishing organization for five decades. Known at one time as "the premier promoter in the Southeast," Crockett Sr. passed away in 1973.
"Getting the involvement of the Crockett family was my biggest concern going into this because they have stayed away from wrestling for so long," says Elliott. "I knew they were a long shot to get, but if you watch the product, you can tell they came around — (brothers) Jimmy, David and even Jackie."
Securing David and Jackie Crockett, who both still live in the area, wasn't the difficult part.
Corralling Jim Crockett Jr., who lives in Dallas and has remained somewhat elusive since leaving the wrestling business two decades ago, would prove to be a masterful feat.
"Without them this documentary would have been just OK, but now it has gone to another level, and I can say that because of the feedback I have received from fans," says Elliott, who scored the interview just a week before his project deadline.
"It all happened at the last second. It was an 11th-hour decision on their part. I spoke to him (Jim Crockett) the Tuesday before my deadline. I had seven days left. I had three days to edit all of them into the documentary."
Exceeded expectations
Elliott, who had produced two previous films on mat legend Jimmy Valiant and the history of the NWA world title, got the ball rolling by first getting in touch with Jackie Crockett, who served as a camerman for his family's wrestling company.
"I interviewed him seven or eight months earlier, and then I called David back and explained to him what was going on."
Elliott says David avoided him at first, "but being myself, I never quit."
"I wanted a yes or no and kept hounding him until he broke down and gave me Jimmy's number."
It didn't take long, says Elliott, for David Crockett to sign on with the project.
"I showed him the first chapter about his daddy and got him interested. The first 10 minutes he was just grinning and smiling. I know that he called Jimmy. I don't know if he was warning him or just giving him a heads-up," laughs Elliott.
But Elliott's initial call to Jim Crockett put him at ease.
"I called Jimmy, and after months of getting the run-around, I got to the big boss. He said he was expecting the call. He was just so nice. I had heard he was always in the background and not very personable with people. But he was just the opposite."
The two hit it off over the phone, and Elliott immediately flew to Dallas to conduct the interview.
Elliott, 29, says he was surprised at just how accommodating Crockett was during the interview. His graciousness exceeded Elliott's expectations.
"Jim opened up and just took it way above anybody's expectations ... especially mine. I knew going in that it would be tough to get him, because he's avoided everyone for so long. I'm just glad they chose me at the right time."
Elliott says Crockett appeared comfortable and relaxed during the interview.
"I thought he might be a little standoffish, but he was just the friendliest guy. We didn't talk wrestling the whole time. We talked about families, kids. We had lunch together and did the interview. He was very open and honest."
Crockett, notes Elliott, even called him a few days later to make sure he got home OK.
Elliott says that he was amazed at the resemblance between the 69-year-old Crockett and photos he had seen of Jim Crockett Sr., who passed away 40 years ago at the age of 64.
"I think it was the glasses that made him look more like his dad. When I saw him walking through the hotel, he looked just like the picture of his father."
With the Jim Crockett interview in the books, there was one more piece of business for Elliott to take care of.
David Crockett had told Elliott that if brother Jim agreed to the interview, he also would grant a sit-down session.
Immediately upon returning to his York, S.C., home following the trip to Dallas, Elliott made plans to talk to Jim's younger brother.
"I went home, showered, saw my wife and came back to Charlotte and interviewed David. It was down to the wire."
Elliott says he pulled 32 straight hours of work to make sure the documentary was completed and meeting the deadline.
Texas, he says, was just one of the many trips he made to conduct interviews with the various players in the documentary.
"We went all over North Carolina, we went to Virginia to get Jimmy Valiant, we drove all the way to Georgia to get Ole (Anderson) and Paul Jones. I got Jackie (Crockett) in South Carolina. We drove to Delaware to get J.J. (Dillon). We covered a lot of ground."
Rich legacy
Jim Crockett had rather reluctantly taken over ownership of Crockett Promotions shortly after the death of his father in 1973.
"Big Jim" Crockett, a dominating but unpretentious personality who tipped the scales at well over 300 pounds, initially had turned over control of the company to his then-son-in-law, John Ringley, but a family situation resulted in Crockett Jr. being called in to take the reins.
Crockett immediately enlisted the services of veteran wrestling star George Scott to book the Carolina-based territory, and the promotion became one of the hottest in the country.
Nearly 15 years later, though, with Crockett near bankruptcy and the company unable to compete with Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation, Crockett sold the promotion to media mogul Ted Turner.
The package included guaranteed jobs for the brothers and some cash. Jim Crockett would remain as NWA president until 1991.
While Crockett Promotions no longer exists, the legendary family-run company remains a sentimental favorite among wrestling fans, as evidenced by the thousands of followers who come from all parts of the globe each summer to attend Fanfest in Charlotte.
It's that allure that prompted Elliott to tackle the documentary.
And securing Jim Crockett's blessing proved to be a major coup.
"He had only done one interview in the past 25 years, and that was a small one for something WWE did. I just didn't think he'd be so open with us. He was very, very cool."
Taking responsibility
Elliott says only when he asked about booker Dusty Rhodes' part in the fall of Crockett Promotions did his subject appear uneasy.
"I was pushing him (Crockett Jr.) on this, and maybe I shouldn't have, because he quickly put me in my place," says Elliott. "He said that Dusty, even with all his faults, was still the right choice. When I asked him about those faults, he said it's been too long, that he was a lot older now, and politely said he wasn't going to get into all of that. That's really the only thing he wouldn't go into."
Elliott says Crockett pointed out that everybody, himself included, had faults.
Overall, says Elliott, he feels the interview was balanced.
"I think people recognized the fact that Dusty helped them get to where they were. But then when you finish the documentary, you'll see that a lot of people did blame him. At the end I let everybody vent their frustration and put the blame on whoever they wanted. Some people say it was the airplane, some people say it was the accountant, some people say it was Dusty, some people say it was Jimmy. But at the very end, Jim Crockett took full responsibility for it."
Elliott says Crockett's relationship with his siblings — David, Jackie and sister Frances — is "good."
"They all talk. I know he visits the Carolinas because one of his daughters lives here. I'm sure they all still get together. David said at one point they didn't talk for a while, but they're all on good terms now. I think they're all comfortable with what happened."
Pet project
The documentary is a three-disc set with more than six hours of material culled from many of the key players in the Mid-Atlantic territory during that era.
The third disc contains the entire unedited interview with Crockett.
"I wanted to include that not only because it would sell DVDs, but because fans should hear everything he had to get off his chest," says Elliott, who debuted the documentary at Fanfest.
"You also get extra stories from all of the talent involved and bonus chapters that were cut from the documentary due to time constraints. I don't think anyone who buys this will walk away from it not being satisfied. You even get a tour of J.J. Dillon's personal collection ... what else can you ask for?
"We interviewed every wrestler that is still breathing for this documentary. This is the first time ever anyone has taken this in-depth a look at Jim Crockett Promotions/Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. I am pleased to have done this as I feel this is my best work out of the three documentaries I have done."
Elliott, a news photographer at WBTV in Charlotte, got the idea of making wrestling-themed documentaries while attending a fan convention several years ago in Charlotte.
"I got involved in making wrestling documentaries by chance at the 2009 NWA Legends Fanfest where I was working for the news, but met Jimmy Valiant and we became friends and we did our first documentary," says Elliott.
Elliott and Highspots, a leading pro wrestling merchandiser, launched a KickStarter campaign to help raise funds for the latest project.
While he accomplished more than he says he could have realistically hoped for, Elliott says he would have loved to have been able to include "new" interviews with Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson and Ricky Steamboat, but their WWE affiliation prevented that from happening.
"But I think we hit pretty much every major star that they had."
Jim Crockett, of course, was his favorite.
"Outside of him, my favorites were Ole Anderson and Paul Jones," says Elliott.

WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 83 points out of 13th place. Lost one spot last week.
PHOENIX RECORD: One win and 10 top-10 finishes including six top-five's in 16 starts. Finished second in the fall race a year ago.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards knows time is running out in his bid to win a race in 2012 and end his 67-race winless streak. "We have to have a fast car (this weekend at Phoenix) and we need to run well," said Edwards. "I feel like if are pretty decent on the long run, we will have a chance to compete for the win. We need to have a good pit stall so we need to qualify well. Our team goal is to get our Fastenal Ford into victory lane before the end of the year."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards wasn't very happy after finishing 16th at Texas. "That wasn't very much fun," said Edwards. "We struggled a lot. I screwed up on pit road and ran over (tire-changer) Mike Lingerfelt and he jumped right back up and made a good stop. It was a very tough night. We struggled a lot with being loose off (the corner). I thought we would be better. Then I ran right into Mark (Martin) and didn't give him enough room and tore up our car. It was just a frustrating night."
ETC.: Car owner Jack Roush feels the organization's most significant accomplishment is "the fact we've been able to survive for 25 years in Cup racing. That is more important to me than 300 wins. I remember our first race was the Daytona 500 (in 1988) and we didn't have a garage (stall) to start with and then they finally gave us one down at the very end when somebody who had more standing didn't come. We've climbed the ladder."
27 PAUL MENARD, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 110 points out of 13th place.
PHOENIX RECORD: Finished ninth a year ago in the fall race for his lone top-10 finish in 11 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard said, "We ran well at Phoenix last fall and we were on our way to a top-10 finish in March when three of us got together coming off of turn four and we wound up wrecking. I feel good about this weekend. We've run strong on the newly resurfaced tracks this year and last. That's another reason why I feel so good about going back to Phoenix."
LOOKING BACK: Menard struggled with an ill-handling race car for most of the race as he finished 27th at Texas. "It's hard to believe that this is the same car we finished third with at Kansas Speedway just a couple of weeks ago," said Menard. "We struggled from the time we unloaded on Friday morning and just never could pinpoint the issue. We tried every possible adjustment you can make on a race car, but nothing seemed to work."
ETC.: Menard said RCR team is already looking forward to 2013 and the new car all of the teams will be racing next year. "That's where our engineering focus is right now – on the new car," said Menard. "With the season about over, we will be spending less time on the 2012 cars and more focus on the 2013 cars."
20 JOEY LOGANO, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 130 points out of 13th place.
PHOENIX RECORD: Finished 10th in the March event for his third top-10 finish in seven starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano call Phoenix "one of my better tracks. They changed things around when they repaved the place last year and that made it a whole new animal. But we've had a lot of success there since the change. It is one of my favorite places to go on the schedule. I'm looking forward to maybe getting out of there with a win or at least a top-five finish."
LOOKING BACK: Despite suffering a cut left-rear tire on the last lap of the race, Logano was able to finish 11th at Texas. "That was a solid day for our Home Depot Toyota," said Logano. "I feel like we finished about where we should have. But I also think we were only a tenth of a second or so off (a lap) from being a top-five car. We just lost the handle when the sun went down and couldn't really get it back. We just couldn't get it to where I could really hustle the car."
ETC.: Logano has only two races "left with the 20 guys and we want to go out with the best finishes that we can. We've been able to win four races with Dollar General on the car in the Nationwide Series this year, and it would be even better to send them off with a bang in the Cup Series and give them their first Cup win."
9 MARCOS AMBROSE, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 18th, 156 points out of 13th place.
PHOENIX RECORD: One top-10 finish in eight starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Ambrose said, "I like short-track racing and Phoenix has always been a good track to me. We've got a good little short-track program at Richard Petty Motorsports, and I know my Ford Fusion is going to be fast when we unload. We were running in the top three this spring when we had engine issues with just a few laps remaining. That gives me a lot of confidence going into this weekend."
LOOKING BACK: A flat right-front tire sent Ambrose hard into the wall with only 24 laps to go. The damage was severe enough that Ambrose was unable to continue as he ended the day in 32nd place. "Working with Drew (Blickensderfer, crew chief) this weekend (for the first time) was very encouraging," said Ambrose. "It's a shame that we didn't get the result we deserved. I felt like Drew and I had good chemistry and communicated well today, which allowed us to improve our Mac Tools Ford throughout the race."

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
The West team is able to record the signal transduction dynamics with unprecedented temporal resolution involving millisecond switch times each with microsecond precision.
"We use the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) as a model for this analysis because the receptor is already dimerized in its active state on the cell membrane. This ensures the molecular states we capture are synchronized and not hidden within the variable diffusion timescales required for dimerization upon ligand stimulus," commented Dr. West.
"Dr. Chiang has perfected the microfluidic timing and built an envirostat system that controls the normal cell culture conditions (37°C and 5% CO2) to maintain the integrity of the cells from syringe to microfluidic stimulation and reaction arrest. We can interrogate the status of the kinase center and determine the nature of the switching on process by comparing data from lengthy ligand treatments and from various IGFR mutants. Mechanistically, does the center work like a light switch or is it more like a domino effect from one phosphorylation site to another?"
Now that the team has optimized the system and demonstrated proof of concept, some of the interesting biological questions are just now being addressed. Is there cell-to-cell variation in stimulus patterns? Are there reaction intermediates that haven't been seen before?
Beyond the study of early signaling, the system is amenable to the investigation of a huge variety of fast cell-surface interactions. Dr. West hopes the microfluidic technology will prompt biochemists and cell biologists to ask new questions.
Can you extrapolate the analytical results from the study of a cell population to what is going on in a single cell? As technology and analytical methods improve, scientists are starting to ask those questions and coming up with some surprising results.
At Fluidigm, Kenneth Livak, Ph.D., senior scientific fellow, has focused on meeting the challenges of analyzing single-cell gene-expression data. Practical steps for analyzing single-cell qPCR data had to be developed because the stochastic nature of eukaryotic transcription at the single-cell level meant that conventional methods for analyzing qPCR data often do not apply.
The company has developed protocols and developed an instrument, the BioMark™ HD, that enables qPCR analysis of transcripts from single cells. In population studies the data yields an average value rather than a real measure of individual cells.
The data can be misleading because this average is dominated by a small number of cells that have a high number of transcripts. Consequently, average measures of gene expression don't give the real picture of what's going on in the single cell as most cells in a population, even a homogeneous population, have a substantially lower number of transcripts that the average value.
"Single-cell gene expression is intrinsically noisy," noted Dr. Livak. "This is based on the observation that eukaryotic transcription occurs in pulses with bursts of transcription interspersed with inactivity when transcripts decay. Consequently, there is significant variation from cell-to-cell that can range as much as 10- to 1,000-fold for every gene we look at.
"Normalization to housekeeping genes doesn't help, as these housekeeping genes can vary as much as the genes we're studying. We find that it is best to use 'unnormalized' data that actually is normalized on a per cell basis."
More specifically, Dr. Livak reported that the solution is to look at enough genes in enough cells to apply a multivariant analysis to get a robust signature as to what is going on at the level of single-cell gene expression. A multivariant analysis, either hierarchal clustering or principal component analysis, allows you to look at the pattern of all genes in the study to get an understanding of what is happening at the individual cell level.
At Fluidigm, the approach is to take FACs-sorted tissue culture cells and plate them individually directly into lysis buffer in wells in a standard 96-well PCR plate. Reagents are added and the plate is put in a thermal cycler for the multiplexed reverse-transcriptase step. Ideally, in this multiplex preamplification step, sufficient cycles are run so that single cDNA molecules will generate at least five molecules per qPCR reaction chamber in the next step.
The cDNA pools are transferred by eight-channel pipetter to one side of the microfluidic chip. On the other side, singleplex PCR primers for the 96 genes to be analyzed are added. The chip is then put within the Biomark HD instrument where all pairwise combinations are mixed. The PCR reactions are run and analyzed in real time within the instrument, yielding 9,216 data points. The data output is presented as a histogram that shows the number of cells with each expression level bin for all the genes in the study.
Convinced that this approach to gene expression in single cells will give new insight to biological phenomena, Fluidigm, in collaboration with the Broad Institute, recently announced the formation of a new single-cell genomics research center to be housed at the Broad Institute, where Dr. Livak will serve as the alliance manager. In this role he will oversee research projects at the center to make sure that while they deliver scientifically, they also help to develop protocols and identify opportunities that can be used and shared with the wider scientific community.
Fluidigm said the Broad Institute is the first of what could be many institutes around the world that will join the firm in its quest to push the envelope on what is known about biological phenomena at the single-cell level. The center will focus on the acceleration of the development of research methods and discoveries in mammalian single-cell genomics, as well as serve as a hub for collaboration among single-cell genomics researchers in pioneering fields including stem cells and cancer biology.
In the end, these learnings may help us, by analogy, to understand the forest for the trees.

CANTON - R.C. Hunter could hear his coaches yelling to sink in a half-nelson on his opponent. The Williamson senior was getting his bearings straight after just turning his opponent with a tilt when his coaches began screaming from the bench.
Hunter found the opening, first getting the half-nelson in, and then sinking it deep to be able to score the first-period fall in Thursday's first bout. It was a monumental win for Hunter (24-5) because Canton had to make its run in the upper weights last night if it wanted to win.
Hunter gave Williamson a much-needed six points as the Warriors wrapped up the Northern Tier League Small School division title with a 40-33 win over Canton. In the process, Williamson also eliminated Canton from contention for the District 4 Duals tournament, and secured its own No. 2 seed in the district duals tournament.
The Small School title was the second consecutive one for Williamson, and it can still win its first-ever outright NTL title with a win over Wellsboro on Feb. 7.
"This is about these kids. It's not about the program or anything else. It's about these kids," Williamson head coach Mark Everett said. "These kids have worked really hard. It's not a program thing. It's the fact that these 14 kids that are here decided they were going to put the work in and they were going to make a team that was a good team."
Part of the transformation from a solid dual-meet team a year ago to a team that is 20-2 has been the emergence of wrestlers like Hunter, especially in the upper weights. Hunter was just 15-15 a year ago and qualified for the District 4 tournament. He won his 24 bout of the season last night and has turned himself into more than just a potential win in the Warriors lineup. He's become an expected win.
He was in control of Canton's Josiah Bardo, who has been battling illness over the last few days and bumped up a weight class, with five points in the first minute or so of the first period. But as he was re-setting himself after tilting Bardo for three points, Hunter utilized the opening he got to pick up the fall.
The win put Canton's run on hold before Tyler Cole, Garrett Wesneski, Connor Route and Brady Bryington all recorded bonus-point wins.
"I don't know that he could have done that last year," Everett said. "He had big leads last year and he'd reach back or do something crazy and get thrown on his back. Now he's a go-getter and he's determined. It's his senior year and he wanted to win this and he wanted to win the league."
"I was really looking forward to going against Tyler Cole. It didn't happen, but it was still a good match and I'm proud of it," Hunter said. "I was listening to the coaches last year, but this year I've been listening to them a lot more during my matches about what I have to do, and it's really helping me out."
The strength of Canton's lineup lies in its upper weights, an area Williamson has improved on vastly this year, but still isn't quite at Canton's level. Cole, Wesneski and Route are a combined 59-9 this year and recorded 16 points in their three wins last night.
Bryington, a freshman 285-pounder, added six much-needed points when he caught Williamson's Dakota Bolt going for a big throw and was able to score the fall. Nine of Bryington's 11 wins this year have come by fall.
"I really thought we could weather it if we gave up three," Everett said. "But when we gave up six, I thought it was over."
"It was a great win for Brady being a ninth-grader in that position," Canton head coach Lyle Wesneski said. "I told him just stay in good position and believe in yourself. You'll get a shot, so make it count when you do."
Canton held a 26-6 lead after Dennis Route won by major decision at 106 pounds. It was a cushion the Warriors needed as they turned into the heart of Williamson's lineup.
But Williamson recorded five consecutive six-point wins to turn the deficit into a 36-26 lead with just three bouts remaining. Returning state qualifier Tyrus Hamblin picked up a forfeit at 113 before Carl Gorg (120), Herman Briggs (126), Trevor McWhorter (132) and Logan Everett (138) all picked up falls.
Sandwiched between a decision win from Canton's Brook Gleckner and a major decision for Jacob Butcher, Williamson's Billy Barnes picked up a major decision at 152 pounds to secure the win for Williamson.
"With our lighter weights, we were pretty comfortable (down 26-6) because we knew we'd be able to come back," Hunter said. "We loved the challenge tonight. We knew we were going to come over here and face one hell of a team. It just felt like a great accomplishment."
For Canton (10-12), it was its fifth loss this season by seven points or fewer. The Warriors are going to miss the District 4 Duals tournament likely by one win. Teams must have a .500 record to qualify and Canton has just one bout remaining.
On top of last night's loss, Canton lost by three points to Wyalusing and Lewisburg, and by four points to Montoursville and Midd-West. Other than Midd-West, those five teams represent teams which will likely be in the top 10 seeds for the district duals tournament.
"It is frustrating," Wesneski said. "We had opportunities throughout the year to win a couple matches and we didn't. I feel bad for the kids because we would be a tough out. I don't know whether we'd beat some of the top teams, but the other 12 or 13 teams in there, we're a tough out. I just wish the kids had an opportunity. But you learn from it."
106: Dennis Route, C, maj. dec. Caleb Robbins, 10-2; 113: Tyrus Hamblin, W, won by forfeit; 120: Carl Gorg, W, pinned Brennan Gleckner, 1:59; 126: Herman Briggs, W, pinned Dylan Marbaker, 2:52; 132: Trevor McWhorter, W, pinned Brendan Cohick, 2:29; 138: Logan Everett, W, pinned Darrin Killian, :36; 145: Brooks Gleckner, C, dec.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an updated story from the initial version from 8:23 a.m. Monday.
TRUCKEE, Calif. — A local man with a detailed criminal history was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after police say he stabbed someone Sunday afternoon inside the Truckee Safeway grocery store.
According to the Truckee Police Department, Jayson Allen Maglaya, 34, stabbed a 33-year-old man twice inside the market on Donner Pass Road after the two got into a physical altercation at about 5:30 p.m.
The victim was transported by ambulance to an area hospital, according to police. As of Sunday evening, his wounds did not appear to be life-threatening. No one else was hurt in the incident.
Maglaya stabbed the man near the grocery store's deli counter, said Truckee Police Capt. Rob Leftwich in a Monday phone interview. The weapon Maglaya used was not recovered at the scene, Leftwich said.
"This was a very specific event to the two of them; they had an ongoing dispute," said Leftwich, adding that Maglaya appears to be the sole aggressor and was not provoked.
Maglaya fled the scene prior to police arrival. After a short investigation Sunday, officers received a tip Maglaya was in the Glenshire subdivision of Truckee, near his residence. According to police, officers who were already patrolling the area responded, and Maglaya was eventually taken into custody without incident.
He was booked into Nevada County jail in Truckee early Monday morning on suspicion of attempted murder and parole violation. His bail has not yet been set.
According to previous Sierra Sun reports, the Safeway incident was not Maglaya's first foray into major crime.
In early 2003, Maglaya was sentenced to seven years in prison after he was found guilty of attempted first-degree burglary for trying to enter an occupied home in Glenshire with the intent to commit theft during the summer of 2002.
According to a Jan. 23, 2003, Sierra Sun story, officials described the incident as a "hot prowl," of which there had been three or four similar incidents around the same time. Hot prowls are particularly dangerous because of the potential for confrontation in the middle of the night, and the unpredictable behavior of the suspect.
The incident counted as Maglaya's second strike, according to the California three strikes law; he also was convicted in May 2001 of possession of stolen property and in March of 1997 of first-degree burglary.
Maglaya had recently been released from prison and was on parole at the time of Sunday's incident, Leftwich said.
Anyone with information about the case should contact Truckee Police Detective Arnie Lopez at 530-550-2323.
