Hollidaysburg's Sam Lafferty entered Thursday's game as the fifth leading scorer in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League Open Class. A strong performance against Altoona moved the sophomore center even closer to the top spot.
Lafferty scored four goals and assisted on another in the Golden Tigers' 9-2 win over Altoona at Galactic Ice.
"It's hard to keep their big two off the board," Altoona coach Garth Rhodes said referring to Lafferty and Macky Power. "They just keep coming and coming, and they've capitalized all season."
Lafferty has 24 goals and 27 assists for 51 points. Power entered the game ranked third in scoring with 48 points. He had an assist on Lafferty's first goal.
Hollidaysburg also got big games from Mitch Gregory and Tanner Sidehamer. Gregory had two goals and two assists while Sidehamer scored a pair of goals 33 seconds apart in the first period.
The first one came when he threw the puck on net from just inside the blue line. The second came moments later on a 2-on-1 breakaway. The Mountain Lion defenseman closed the passing lane so the junior forward took it himself, hitting the top right corner of the net for the score.
"We scored on a couple breakaways. We tell the kids if they have a play, break on it," Hollidaysburg coach Brad Blair said.
Kent Brustle added a goal and an assist and Matt Gregory backstopped the win with 26 saves as Hollidaysburg improved to 11-4 on the season, 3-0 versus Altoona.
Hollidaysburg has second place in the Section 3 secured with five games to go before the playoffs.
"The big thing is we need to be sound defensively as we get ready for the playoffs," Blair said. "We have the goal scorers. We need to play well in our own end."
Lafferty agreed with his coach.
"We need to backcheck better and do a better job with our d-zone coverage to do well in the playoffs," he said.
Altoona stayed with Hollidaysburg for the first half of the opening period and grabbed a 1-0 lead when Adam Badorrek took a pass from Nathan Baker, streaked to the net and buried it in the top right corner of the net.
Hollidaysburg quickly seized control of the game, however, with a four-goal barrage over the next three minutes of play.
Badorrek made it a 4-2 game early in the second period when he slipped a low backhand shot just inside the left post for an unassisted goal. Hollidaysburg closed the period with five straight goals to seal the win.
Lafferty started the run with back-to-back unassisted goals. The first was a short-handed tally. The second came on a steal at opposite blue line.
"The d-man lost the puck. I saw a lane and took it to the net," Lafferty said. "I got the goalie to go down and went upstairs with it."
The loss puts Altoona at 2-12 on the season.
"Despite the score, we're a much better hockey team then we were at the start of the season," Rhodes said. "They're a proud group. They've stuck with it and want to do well for each other."
Badorrek now has 24 goals on the season, ranking him in the league's top 10 in goals scored.
"Adam's our captain. He's the guy we look to for big plays," Rhodes said. "You couldn't ask for a better kid or a harder worker."

On the bright side, Smith looked great. He'd better play the rest of the season, bar injury.
I don't care what anyone says, Lidstrom's defensive play is slipping big. I'm not sure he's the best defensive defenseman on this team right now, let alone the league.
Smith did better than expected. Lids made a few mistakes but still recovered from them. If the Wings can grab 4 points off the next 2 games, that would be good. At the least, we don't have to watch a late game this weekend.

Following a prolonged period of economic prosperity and benign credit conditions, 2005 saw some weakening of credit metrics, as reflected in rating downgrades exceeding upgrades by 1.7x. Contributing to the downward rating adjustments was a trend toward higher balance-sheet leverage, driven by M&A activity and share buybacks. In addition, one default was recorded in 2005 for a previously confidentially rated issuer. There were no defaults recorded in 2004. Overall, the credit quality of the Australia and New Zealand rating pool remains high, with an average issuer credit rating of 'A-' despite the number of speculative-grade credit ratings increasing in 2005.

Course descriptions for the Fall 2016 University Honors (UH) classes are posted below. (Watch for updates!) Refer to WINGS Express via the WINGS portal for a complete listing of all Honors courses, including days, times, and locations.
Fall 2016
UH 2010-01 Literature & Rock 'n' Roll (Rubin)
Is Sting a poet? Did the band King Crimson really compose a 12-minute song meant to be the musical interpretation of one of the greatest books of the 20th century? Do hip-hop lyrics tell us as much about modern society as modern novelists or poet laureates do? In this course, we will examine how rock and roll influences literature and how literature influences rock and roll. We might not party like it's 1999, but we will certainly read about it and write about it.
UH 2010-02 21st Century Games & Play (Roach)
In 1938, anthropologist and game studies scholar Johan Huizinga asserted that "culture arises and unfolds in and as play." Games and play have existed throughout history, and the renewed interest in studying them has been driven, in part, by changes in technology. In an increasingly digital world, games and play offer keen insight into our culture. Throughout the course we will consider topics such as:
-Games as texts
-Video game evolution
-Tabletop games
-Unstructured play (cosplay, memes, etc.)
-Play as a mode of writing
-Gamer culture
-Work versus play
-Game theory and creation
The goal of this course is to examine games and play from a number of angles, using a variety of lenses from across the disciplines. We will write about games, research games, and make games, all with the goal of cultivating meaningful academic discourse about games and play in our culture.
This course is NOT just for hard-core gamers; casual gamers, Candy Crushers, cosplayers, and tabletop fans are all equally welcome here. The urge to play is in all of us, and this course aims to explore what that means about our current cultural moment and about the capacity and limits of our humanity.
UH 2010-03 Introduction to Parks and Recreation and the Notion of Play in Contemporary Culture (Leonard)
This introductory course is a cultural examination of contemporary leisure activities. The course will first explore the historical, philosophical, and standard practices in parks and recreation services today. With the historical groundwork laid, the course will explore the cultural definitions of "play" and the role that community members have in successful parks and recreation programming. The course will culminate with an analysis of public, private, and non-profit agencies engaged in leisure services and the impact they have on contemporary culture.
UH 2020-01 The Election of the American President (Leonard)
The 2016 Presidential election will be the first since 2008, without an incumbent in the race. This course, entitled _Election of the American President_, will focus on the three segments of a Presidential election: the nomination of the major party candidates, the respective Party conventions and the platforms fashioned by both Parties, and the general election in November. We will take advantage of the 2016 election and use the current events surrounding that election as a guide, and a supplement to other teaching tools. We will review the Spring nomination contests, and Parties' July conventions; that will bring us to the Fall campaigns, and the Presidential debates. (I am exploring the viability of having a "watch party" where we can be together for the Wright State debate, followed by a discussion and analysis of the candidates' performances, and the potential impact on their campaigns.)
UH 2020-02 Search for Community (Eguaroje)
This social science course delves into the importance and relevance of community in a modern world. Class community studies are reviewed and used as the basis for discussions, role playing exercises, and a case study. Students will collectively author a course product: a mini-community study of a nearby small town. This course will be conducted in a seminar format, enhanced by multi-media presentations and films. (UH 2020 satisfies the Social Science Element in the Core curriculum.)
UH 2020-03 Writing/Rewriting the Constitution (Sayer)
Students will study the 1787 writing of the U.S. Constitution, plus the 27 Amendments that have been added since then. Students will also form their own Constitutional Convention in rewriting this historic document to meet today's perceived needs. (UH 2020 satisfies the Social Science Element in the Core curriculum.)
UH 2020-90 Decision Making (Morrisette)
Decision making is an integral part of our daily lives, ranging from the relatively simple--shall I have Coke or coffee?--to the complex and seemingly insoluble--how can we reduce the rate of violent crime in the U.S.? Regardless of one's area of interest or expertise, difficult decisions must be made. This course provides an introduction to the concepts of decision theory, systems analysis, and rational analytic techniques of decision making, as well as an exploration of non-rational theory and processes. Students will analyze the process and the assumptions that underlie the process from several viewpoints and disciplines: rationality, incrementalism, analytical reasoning, and complexity and chaos. (UH 2020 satisfies the Social Science Element in the Core curriculum.)
UH 4000-01 Witchcraft in Colonial America (Chamberlain)
The 1692 witch-hunt in Salem, Massachusetts is one of the most notorious episodes in American history. The inspiration of plays, novels, and movies, this tragic event, which resulted in the execution of 19 persons, has become a symbol of the consequences of unchecked government power. The Salem witch-hunt, however, was the climax of the American phase of the era of great European witch-hunts and the last in a series of more than 60 witchcraft trials in colonial America. In this course, therefore, we will focus on the social origins of witchcraft. How did the colonists themselves understand witchcraft? What factors contributed to accusations and convictions for witchcraft? How have historians attempted to explain the function of witchcraft beliefs generally and the Salem hunt in particular?
UH 4000-02 Presidential Memories (Sayer)
Rankings of our U.S. Presidents have been conducted for over 60 years. This course will involve the study and methodologies of history, political science, and communication in examining critically the most recent "Top Ten" Presidential rankings conducted by the Siena Research Institute, contrasted with earlier rankings. Students will critically assess both the current and prior Presidential rankings, develop and justify a course-wide ranking, and present their findings both orally and in written form.

"This one is really extra special because long before I had a hit record, the fans always came to the shows. And I want to thank you guys for voting and for being there for me," said Chesney when accepting his award, which fans voted on for the first time. This is the singer's fourth consecutive win in that category, tying Garth Brooks for the honor.
After winning the night's most important award, Chesney, 40, criticized the Academy's new method for picking the entertainer of the year by using fan votes. He said the organization had turned the category "into a sweepstakes to see who can push people's buttons the hardest on the Internet."
Brooks, who has won a total of 18 ACMs throughout his career, was the first artist to receive the Academy's Crystal Milestone Award. Dick Clark, Jay Leno, and Billy Joel were among the stars who congratulated him via satellite.
Taylor Swift, 18, who nabbed two major prizes at last month's CMT Awards, dedicated her top new female vocalist award to her mom saying, "Mom, thank you so much. I love you. This is for you!"
Carrie Underwood, 25, took home the trophy for top female vocalist for the second consecutive year, and Brad Paisley, 35, won the same prize in the male category.
Other major winners of the night included Miranda Lambert's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" for album of the year, Sugarland's "Stay" for song of the year and Lady Antebellum for best new duo/vocal group. (Check out their People.com video diary here.)
The Performances

Miranda Lambert heated things up with "Gun Powder and Lead." Then, Swift cooled the stage back down with her dripping wet performance of "Should've Said No," during which she danced in water pouring from the ceiling.
After performing solo, Chesney and George Strait, who was celebrating his 56th birthday, teamed up to sing their nominated duet "Shiftwork" for the first time live.
Surrounded by fans, dad-to-be Keith Urban, who says he's "very excited" about fatherhood, performed "Tu Compania" along with new artist nominee Sarah Buxton as Urban's wife Nicole Kidman watched on.
After LeAnn Rimes, Montgomery Gentry closed the show, which was hosted by Reba McEntire for the tenth time.

PEKHON, Shan State—Amid abundant poppy plantations in this southern township of Shan State, local farmers find themselves in a dilemma: Almost every household here grows opium poppy, citing a lack of other options, but they aren't pleased to be in the business.
"We aren't happy growing this poppy, because we know that people will die from opium," a grower from Laei village told The Irrawaddy recently. "But we're starving, and nobody is helping us. Who cares about us?"
The annual poppy harvest ended last month in Pekhon Township, a Kayan ethnic minority area, and farmers noted a much smaller yield than normal, in part due to heavy rain and wind last year.
The government's drug eradication campaign has also added to their difficulties, as anti-narcotics officials have tried to destroy poppy fields throughout Burma, the world's second-largest opium producer.
Though Kayan farmers in Shan State support the goal of eliminating drug use, they say they haven't been taught how to substitute their poppy fields with other crops.
And despite the anti-drug program, they say local authorities and armed groups in the area continue to promote poppy cultivation, often demanding a portion of their income from harvest yields.
"Every year, we produce hundreds of tons of opium here," said Saw Lwin, joint secretary of the Kayan New Land Party. "The government's anti-drug program destroys our harvests, but then the authorities say we shouldn't worry, encouraging us to keep growing it."
In addition to paying an annual tax of 20 million to 30 million kyat (US $23,000 to $35, 000) on their crops, farmers say they bribe local authorities to protect their fields from anti-drug officials, but at least one third of their crops were still destroyed last year.
In Pekhon Township, villages such as Kahant, Laei and Latein have tried to ban opium use by expelling residents caught with the drug. They also promote local sayings such as "Grow opium poppy, don't use it," and they post anti-drug notices at every village entrance.
But according to Lwi Si Nyein, a former political prisoner and a leader of the Kayan New Generation Youth group, drug use remains common, with overdoses leading to deaths in the township.
"We have a drug rehabilitation center in Pekhon, but the program stopped and we're not sure why," he said.
If there is a more evil substance than heroin, I cannot think of what it is. Perhaps there are even more addictive substances (e.g. crack, methamphetamines and alcohol to name some possibilities), but I doubt those substances have the tragic consequences that heroin does.
The mentality they have is so wrong and so low. "We will not use this opium but we will sell to others and let other people use it and let them die, as long as we make money, we don't care who are dying" mentality is inhumane. Why is the mentality of the people in Burma so low? Where is compassion? Where is love? Where is care? Where is understanding? Being poor materially is not a big deal, we can find materials as much as we want. But when the mentality is record low, it is difficult to refill it.
They are starving , that's why . Would you watch your children die of hunger when there was a way to save them . Arm chair critics make me sick .
This reply may be two years late, but your ignorance is timeless. You ask "where is the compassion? where is the love?" I ask you, where is your brain? These people are dirt poor and their children are starving. There's no welfare, no WIC, no FAFSA or college dreams supplemented by Daddy's salary. In their world there's one harsh reality: GROW OPIUM OR STARVE TO DEATH. Educate yourself before you spew nescient nonsense over the internet, you might infect a like-minded someone with your ignorance.
Thanks to Taipan and Mateo Samora for your comments. There is nothing more to say!

Perhaps I can give you a little more information on this subject, since the list of treatments and symptoms above is for people and not dogs.
Most pituitary tumors are very small, and if they stay that way, they are unlikely to cause problems. When pituitary tumors do become problems is when they become macroadenomas. That simply means that the tumors grow large enough that they become a problem simply by the amount of space they take up.
Pituitary tumors are almost never cancerous. They are divided into two groups however, functioning and nonfunctioning. Functioning tumors produce one of the hormones produced in the endocrine system. The most common kind of functioning tumor produces cortisol. The extra cortisol in the body results in a disease called Cushings Disease. Another type of functioning tumor produces growth hormone. The excess amount in the body causes a disease called Acromegaly.
Nonfunctioning tumors cause different types of problems. The large macroadenoma pressing up against the pituitary gland starts to interfere with it's functioning. Usually thyroid function is affected first. The pituitary sends chemical signals to regulate the thyroid, when the thyroid stops receiving these, it slows down and hypothyroidism occurs. The pituitary stops regulating growth hormone, which is used during the adult years to help regulate muscle mass and insulin use. Fertility is decreased by the pituitary no longer regulating the sex organs to produce testosterone or estrogen. Energy drops due to a lack of cortisol being produced by the adrenal glands. This substance is needed by the body to fight illness and react to stress and emergencies. Finally, in cases with an extremely large macroadenoma, the part of the pituitary gland that regulates thirst and water retention will stop functioning.
The symptoms vary depending what type of pituitary tumor your dog has, and it's size.
If the tumor is a functioning one and produces cortisol, your dog will have a condition called Cushing's disease. The symptoms of this are excessive drinking and urination, an excessive appetite, a pot-bellied appearance due to redistribution of body fat, muscle weakness, hair loss and skin infections, excessive panting and shortness of breath, muscle stiffness, and high blood pressure.
Agromegaly, a condition where the tumor produces growth hormone, is characterized by some unusual looking growth, not in normal proportion, and a resistance to insulin which usually leads to diabetes.
With nonfunctioning tumors, a low or nonfunctioning thyroid will result in lethargy/mental dullness, hair loss, weight gain,
dry coat/shedding, hyperpigmentation of the skin, cold intolerance, slow heart rate, high cholesterol and anemia.
A low or non-existent growth hormone level will lead to muscle wasting and the inability to convert food into muscle mass.
A loss in communication from the pituitary to the sex glands will result in stopping the production of testosterone or estrogen. This results in infertility, and while replacement of these hormones is possible, fertility can not be corrected.
The pituitary gland controls one part of the adrenal gland, the part that produces cortisol. Cortisol is necessary for normal functioning, plus more is needed during illness and times of stress.
Finally, the pituitary gland controls water regulation. If this part of the pituitary is damaged, your dog will exhibit excessive thirst and urination, to the point that her sleep will be interrupted by needing water every 30-60 minutes.
These are the symptoms of the various conditions caused by pituitary tumors. There are several levels to the question of how you treat a pituitary tumor. First is how the tumor itself can be treated, and second is how the conditions it created can be treated.
Unfortunately, unlike in humans, pituitary tumors can not be surgically removed in dogs because of their location. Radiation therapy is used, but it is not a cure. It's used to buy time, but in many cases it damages the dog's eyes or ears. The primary danger of a macroadenoma is that it will eventually just run out of space to grow.
Until this becomes a problem, the specific conditions that it causes are treated. There is medication for cushings disease and acromeglia. Dogs with nonproductive tumors get hormone replacement for the conditions they have. They are treated with a synthetic form of cortisol, such as prednisone, if they have adrenal insufficiency. They are treated with thyroid medication (levoxyl, sinthroid) if they have hypothyroidism. If they have diabetes insipidis, they are treated with DDAVP to regulate their water needs.
It's important to remember that many dogs develop macroadenomas that stop growing and do not present further problems. Also, these adenomas can grow to a point of causing a medical condition, but may not need further treatment; only treatment of the secondary illness may need to be treated.
As for the symptoms your dog has, the panting and breathing makes me think that she may have Cushing's disease as a result of a functioning tumor. I'm not sure what the quivering indicates. It could be something neurologic, or it could be the result of just not feeling well.
I assume you have seen your vet and he is the one who has suggested the possibility of a pituitary tumor. I would talk to him more about what your options are and what he suggests.
I hope this information was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions or I can clarify anything.

I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.

Nebraska Center for Writers
|BRYAN L JONES'S most recent book, Mark Twain Made Me Do It & Other Plains Adventures (U of Nebraska P, 1997), explores the Nebraska of the 1950s. Essays on the polio epidemic of 1952 and Richie Ashburn and small-town baseball provide the historic backdrop to the story of a wide-eyed boy exploring the limits of his universe. The Farming Game, Jones's first book of humorous essays, is still in print. The first book originally published by the University of Nebraska Press to be reviewed in The New York Times, it continues to enjoy a wide following. Jones, a reading teacher at McCook Junior High, grew up in several Nebraska towns, including Chappell, Geneva, and Neligh. After graduating from Roosevelt University in Chicago and spending a year in graduate school at the University of New Orleans, Jones returned to Nebraska. He has farmed, taught school, worked as a journalist and as a public speaker. He was awarded a Council for Basic Education Fellowship in 1994 to research some of the lesser known figures of the American Civil Rights Movement. He has recently been a columnist for Teacher and Nebraska Life magazines.

Find of the Week
These French 1930's armchairs, available through Coconut Company, are so elegant yet not at all cold or fussy.
I was browsing through the newer designs from Bennison and came across two I wanted to share: Songbird, top, in aqua/yellow on linen, and Magnolia, bottom, in blue/green on fine oyster linen. To me, either pattern would be amazing upholstered on the walls of some sort of lady-like dressing room or walk-in-closet.
The room below, designed by Schuyler Samperton and Anna Hackathorn, is what I have in mind. (And yes, I may have posted this room once before. I love it!) Originally it appeared in InStyle spring 2005.
Vizard Christmas Stockings
Rebecca Vizard, a designer and textile collector based in St. Joseph, Louisiana, recently posted her 2006 assortment of small Christmas stockings. The stockings are about six to seven inches long and made from fragments of lavish antique textiles. Vizard also offers stockings made from vintage Fortuny. Prices range from $35-$75.
BTW: I've found these to be the perfect size for holding gift certificates, large chocolate bars, secret messages for kids, and tiny gifts. They are actually very versatile.
A David Hicks Holiday
iomoi just introduced a range of upbeat holiday cards, address labels and invitations that feature geometric patterns with a strong David Hicks vibe. The offerings include classic Christmas motifs as well as more secular styles that might be appropriate for Hanukkah greetings.
And speaking of the season of light and shimmer, a grouping of Anthropologie's little quicksilver vases, shown below, would be beautiful with fresh cut red, pink or white winter blooms. $18 each.
Psychedelic 60's or Victorian?
At first glance, the pattern on this pillow looked to me like a fun, wild psychedelic print from the late 1960's. But actually the pillow, designed by Rebecca Vizard, is made from a 19th-century crazy quilt fragment.
Crazy quilts are, as the name implies, quilts patched together in a random style. Resourceful women who needed to save every scrap of fabric were the first to make quilts this way. Later though, during the mid-19th-century, this haphazard patchwork technique became very chic.
Victorian women used irregular pieces of silk, satin and velvet, combined with elaborate embroidery, to create ornamental throws. At the same time, Japanese art, which celebrates asymmetry and imperfection, was in vogue in America. So, many art historians see an Asian influence in the Victorian crazy quilts.
Eastern Inspired
Regular readers know that I post often about Central Asian suzanis. So of course I couldn't resist sharing this fresh living room, above, designed by Timothy Whealon and featured in the October Domino. A large suzani on the wall serves as the room's focal point and looks great juxtaposed with that sofa covered in Lulu DK's Chant.
There are other Eastern inspired patterns around the room too, interpreted in old school Sister Parish sorbet colors, in fabrics from John Robshaw, Lulu DK and Raoul Textiles, and Brunschwig & Fils. Whealon's addition of the white leather Moroccan poufs, shown below, is such a fun touch.
Below are images of British decorator Robert Kime's hand-printed fabrics that are inspired by his travels through Asia, Turkey, Egypt and other Eastern locals. I'm a big fan of his work, and although in the U.S. his fabrics are only available to the trade or through select boutiques, I wanted to share these images with everyone who loves beautiful textiles. A large sampling of Kime's designs can be viewed on his site.
The last image above (via Hollyhock) shows Kime standing, presenting new designs to a group of designers including Tim Clarke.
For more on suzanis, visit the Flower Power exhibition site at Textile Art, or see my earlier posts, Doris Duke Suzani Collection and Suzani Mania.
Shown above is an amazing publication, The Great Embroideries of Bukhara, created in conjunction with the exhibit Flower Power. It is available through Textile Art, and is near the top of my wish list.
Victoria Hagan for Target
You've probably heard the news that Victoria Hagan, an interior designer known for her highly sophisticated, cerebral approach, recently created a home furnishings line for Target. In fact, the October issue of Elle Decor includes a nice feature on Hagan's collection. And I'm quite impressed.
The look is so refined and timeless. Decorators often say they combine budget finds with expensive antiques, and I think the two ceramic bud vases above (only $7.99 each!) would be perfect for that type of mix. Hagan's pillows and mirrors are worth a look as well.
Just In At Turquoise
Congrats to interior designer Vanessa De Vargas for being featured on Daily Candy L.A.! A fan of Vanessa's work, in the past I've posted samples of her revamped vintage furniture, sold through her Venice, California showroom Turquoise. Above are some of her latest pieces that I'm loving.
Robert Kime Fabric
British decorator Robert Kime designs hand-printed fabrics that are often inspired by his travels through central Asia, Turkey, Egypt and other Eastern locals. I'm a big fan of his work, and although in the U.S. his fabrics are only available to the trade or through select boutiques, I wanted to share these images with everyone who loves beautiful textiles. A large sampling of Kime's designs can be viewed on his site.
The last image above (via Hollyhock) shows Kime standing, presenting new designs to a group of designers including Tim Clarke.
More Mid-Century Fabulousness
Look at the restrained curves on these 1940's Italian brass side chairs, above. That turquoise silk upholstery is original. Available through Modest Designs.
The pair of 1960's armchairs, above, designed by Tommy Parzinger with original upholstery is available through Collins And McCullough.
A French 1950's painting, "Sulky" by Jean Chevolleau is shown above. Available through Dragonette Limited.
Bambooserie chairs, circa 1960 above, have a grass-green lacquered finish with silk upholstered seats. Available through Fat Chance.
The exquisite hand-blown, ribbed opalescent glass lamp shown above is Italian 1950's, Barovier & Toso by A. Seguso. Available through Emmerson Troop Inc.
Shown above and below, a large Italian circa 1950 alabastro bowl in a scallop shell-form of white and yellow opalino glass. Available through epoca.
Legendary Rooms: Billy Baldwin
The watercolor above, painted by decorator Mark Hampton, is an illustration of the famous brown lacquered library designed by Billy Baldwin for Cole Porter. Baldwin mixed dark walls, created to look like tortoiseshell, with brass bookcases and fawn-colored leather upholstery. Totally chic then and now.
This watercolor is actually one of 22 included in Hampton's 1992 book, Legendary Decorators of the Twentieth Century. Other decorators highlighted include David Hicks, Elsie de Wolfe, Sister Parish, and Jean-Michel Frank.
Baldwin's 1972 book, Billy Baldwin Decorates, was supposed to be reissued last month but unfortunately it seems the publication has been delayed. Luckily, some vintage copies can still be found for under $60, unlike many older decorating books that now sell for $400 and up :(
Find of the Week
The whimsical red and gilt Chinoiserie chandelier above is another 1950's European find from Ellen Ward Scarborough Antiques. Made in Italy, it's a pagoda style piece done in metal that definitely has a fun Tony Duquette quality. But not totally over-the-top.
BTW: The Victoria and Albert Museum has a nice online Chinoiserie style guide. Below is an illustration, included in the V & A guide, of a design for a chair by 18th-century furniture makers William and John Linnell.
Asia Week At Christie's
Christie's Asia Week in New York begins September 19 with a sale of Chinese ceramics and art. Happily, the online auction catalog -- featuring 450 items included in the sale -- is free and easy to browse for design inspiration. It's page after page of lush color and elegant forms.
Pictured top to bottom: A pair of cloisonne enamel wall plaques decorated with chrysanthemums, rocks, birds, peonies and butterflies, late 18th/19th century; A small iron-red reverse-decorated moonflask, Kangxi Period (1662-1722) ; A cloisonne enamel globular vase decorated with leafy stems of peonies, early 18th century.
The antique English secretary below is not included in next week's auction. It's something fun I found while browsing 1st dibs. The paint is original but unexpected in different shades of green and amber, and the motif is Chinese inspired. Wouldn't this piece be an amazing focal point in a room? Clearly the appraiser also believes the secretary is rare because the price is $85,000.

FDA approved Novartis' Ilaris® for the treatment of children and adults with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS).
Ilaris thus becomes the first approved treatment, according to the company, for patients as young as four years old suffering from two forms of CAPS: familial cold auto-inflammatory syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS).
CAPS is caused by a single gene mutation that leads to overproduction of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß), which causes sustained inflammation and tissue damage. Ilaris is a fully human mAb that blocks IL-1ß, and dosing is once every eight weeks.
"Until now, treatments for CAPS patients have been limited to traditional inflammatory disease medications that work by suppressing the entire immune system and newer therapies that control the disease better but require more frequent injections," notes Hal Hoffman, M.D., who has served as a consultant for the company and is an associate professor of pediatrics and medicine at University of California, San Diego.
CAPS comprises three disorders of increasing severity: FCAS, MWS, and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID). A clinical study is ongoing to evaluate the potential of Ilaris to treat patients with NOMID. There are currently no approved therapies for the treatment of this disorder.
Clinical trials are also under way with Ilaris in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) and more common disorders such as some forms of gout, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, and type 2 diabetes. Further development in rheumatoid arthritis is not planned.
Ilaris has orphan drug designation for CAPS in the EU, Switzerland, and Australia, where it is currently under health authority review. Priority review has been granted in Switzerland, Australia, and Canada. Ilaris has been granted orphan drug designation for SJIA in the U.S., EU, and Switzerland, and also has fast-track status for SJIA in the U.S.

B/E Aerospace Sued Over $250 Million Distribution Deal
B/E Aerospace Inc., a maker of cabin interiors for commercial and business aircraft, was sued for allegedly breaking a contract for distribution of oxygen-systems products.
Leki Aviation, a closely held distributor of aircraft parts, interiors and components, filed the suit today in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, accusing Wellington, Florida-based B/E Aerospace of wrongful termination of a five-year agreement to distribute B/E oxygen-systems products. The value of the agreement would exceed $250 million in direct sales of B/E products alone, Leki said in the complaint.
Leki, based in Kastrup, Denmark, accused B/E of making false and misleading statements to get Leki to accept a lower discount rate on B/E products so B/E could use the agreement as leverage in pricing sales to Airbus SAS and its Satair unit, according to the complaint.
The suit, which seeks unspecified compensatory, consequential and punitive damages, also accuses Toulouse, France-based Airbus and its Satair unit of interfering with the contract by forcing B/E to terminate the pact.
"B/E further made these material false and untrue representations to Leki, with the intent to deceive Leki, and with the intent to cause Leki, a Satair competitor, to change its competitive position in the marketplace and thereby provide B/E products an additional unfair market advantage," Leki said in its complaint.
Greg Powell, a spokesman for B/E Aerospace, didn't immediately respond to e-mail and voice messages seeking comment on the lawsuit.
Airbus doesn't comment on lawsuits, Mary Anne Greczyn, a Virginia-based spokeswoman for the company, said in an e-mail.
The case is Leki Aviation A/S v. B/E Aerospace, 653625/2012, New York State Supreme Court, New York County (Manhattan).

PLEASE NOTE: This post was published in MAY 2012 and the numbers referenced here are the 2011 NC statistics. The 2012 stats were only just released on May 21, 2013. I'm still crunching those numbers, but you can see my worksheet with percentages and dog & cat numbers totaled here. I am also working on a comparison with the 2011 numbers, and that file is here.
The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services released their animal shelter report at the end of April. (Available in Excel format here.) The excel report is hard to read and requires a lot of math to obtain useful information like dog and cat totals, kill rates and adoption rates, so I spent some time turning it into a slightly more user-friendly version that shows totals (dog+cat and all animal) and kill rates. Considering that most people are more interested in the dog and cat totals than other numbers, I decided to separate them out to make it easier to parse and calculate a few other things like statewide totals and adoption rates. That sheet is here.
Before I go any further, I'd like to announce that the Killingest Kill "Shelter" in North Carolina is the Montgomery County Animal Control Facility. For $78.37 per animal, they killed 98 percent of the dogs and 100 percent of the cats that came in, for an overall kill rate of 99 percent. Of the 1199 dogs and cats that went into that pound, only 12 dogs got out alive. (They also killed 25 raccoons, 20 opossums and one coyote.) (NOTE: Several pounds commonly thought of as "high kill," such as Beaufort, Co., Hyde Co., Martin Co. and Sampson Co., did not report, so Montgomery County may not actually be the very worst pound in NC. But given that they have worse outcomes than even PETA, an organization that STRIVES to kill every animal that comes in, it's hard to imagine a worse pound anywhere.)
In comparison, for a similar per-animal cost (slightly less, actually: $73.30), Bladen County Animal Shelter SAVED 89 percent of the dogs and 36 percent of the cats that came in for a combined save rate of 66 percent. That doesn't put them into "no kill" territory (although they are getting close with their dog outcomes), but it's a great example of the fact that saving lives doesn't have to cost more. To be fair, Bladen County's success rate is almost entirely attributable to the advocacy group A Shelter Friend, which relentlessly networks the animals and raises money for medical care and transport assistance. But that's often what it takes–saving animals is a community effort. With a feral cat TNR program, Bladen County could probably reach No Kill community status very quickly.
Curiously, the "savingest" animal shelter in NC (and it actually deserves to be called a shelter, unlike all the others) did not even turn in their statistics to the NCDA&CS this year. I had been anxiously awaiting the outcomes from Foothills Humane Society ever since reading about their progress in the No-Kill Communities blog. They did not report, however, so I emailed to ask about their numbers, and received them very quickly. (The new director was not aware of the reporting requirement, and apparently no one from the NCDA&CS contacted her about reporting.) They have achieved a total live release rate of almost 98 percent. It appears that NC finally has its first open-admission no-kill shelter!
The NCDA&CS numbers should be taken with a shaker of salt because there are huge holes in North Carolina's reporting system. These statistics are self-reported by the shelters themselves and NCDA&CS does not verify their accuracy. The shelters could be completely making them up.
Although it's technically mandatory for all shelters that receive any public funds to report, the only penalty for non-compliance is ineligibility to receive spay/neuter reimbursement funds. So publicly funded facilities that do not participate in the spay/neuter program can fail to report with no consequence. Twenty one facilities failed to report for 2011. (Many of the non-reporting facilities are holding facilities that may keep animals for a short period of time before they are transferred to a central facility and rarely or never kill animals.)
Another problem is that, unlike Virginia's comprehensive statistical tracking, NC's system is missing a lot of data breakdowns. In NC the only outcomes tracked are adoption, owner reclaim and killing. Where does a facility put the number of animals transferred to rescue groups (or, in the case of holding facilities, to another facility)? It's not clear where these go; presumably they would count under adoptions, but are all facilities reporting this in the same way? What about animals that escape or die in custody? Also, there is no clarification of the numbers of animals on-hand at the beginning and end of each year, so one can only guess what it means when the in and out numbers don't add up. Overall, the NC system leaves a lot to be desired in terms of enforcing accountability.
In contrast, the VA system breaks down intakes and outcomes to make it more apparent what actually happens to the animals, making facilities more accountable and transparent. Intake details are broken down to show exactly how the animals come in (On Hand January 1, Stray, Seized, Bite Cases, Surrendered by Owner, Received From Another Virginia Releasing Agency, Others) and outcomes are broken down to make it clear what the shelter is doing with them (Reclaimed by Owner, Adopted, Transferred to Another Virginia Releasing Agency, Transferred by Approved Out-Of-State Facility, Died in Facility, Euthanized, Miscellaneous [includes escaped, stolen and anything else not covered by the other categories], On Hand December 31). This way the numbers always add up, and no one has to guess what the facility is actually doing with the animals.
What's more, the Virginia system includes all organizations involved in animal control or rescue, public and private. This type of accountability provides a safeguard against groups operating in secrecy with no oversight, such as the Johnston County SPCA here in NC.
Per these reports, public pounds in NC took in 348,089 dogs and cats in 2011. Of these, 226,199 or 64.98 percent, were killed. Dogs generally fared much better than cats in the state's pounds. Of the 181,907 who entered pounds, 93,880, or 51.61 percent, were killed. Of 166,182 cats, 130,639 were killed, for a rate of 78.61 percent. As noted above, the absence of statistics from several potentially "high kill" pounds means the actual number of animals killed in NC is likely a bit higher than this.
Because there are discrepancies between the data tracking, a direct comparison of these totals to Virginia's isn't possible, but taking everything into account it's astoundingly clear that Virginia does a much better job of protecting companion animals than NC does. (Keep in mind that Virginia numbers include ALL shelters and rescues, while NCs only include the publicly funded facilities that bother to report.) With a population only 16 percent lower than NC's (in July 2011: VA = 8,096,604, NC = 9,656,401), Virginia pounds, shelters and rescues took in 177,484 dogs and cats, or 54% fewer than the NC shelters that report to NCDA&CS. Of these, 67,134, or almost 42%, were killed. (That number drops almost a whole percentage point when you subtract PETA's numbers from the equation.)
Just to be generous, let's add in the animals who died in custody (2,969) before we compare that to the NC shelter kill numbers. That makes total of 70,103 animals who died in Virginia shelters during 2011, or 61 percent less than the (known) NC death toll. For still another perspective, consider this: In Virginia, shelters killed one companion animal for every 115 people in the state last year, while NC shelters killed 1 companion animal for every 43 state residents. (Many of the NC animals are dying in gas chambers, which are outlawed in Virginia.)
Fortunately, shelters like the Foothills Humane Society are demonstrating that we can achieve the sort of success at saving lives that Virginia does. Virginia currently has seven confirmed No Kill communities (and a few in progess), but they started with just one.

Birthing Class: A Colossal Waste of TimeMeredith Carroll
Is birthing class necessarily necessary? Nope.
The first time I was pregnant I couldn't wait to go to birthing class. I never much liked school, but I was eager for it anyway because taking it was a sign that my baby was near and I could attempt to ensure that my growing peanut would enter the world without me accidentally cracking her shell.
As it turns out, however, birthing class was exactly like every class I've ever taken and hated, except with more videos and discussions about blood and pain. I left each session and cried. That is, if I wasn't already crying as a continuation of what happened during the class.
Nothing of what had been taught stayed with me. All I learned was there would be pain, more pain and a bunch of blood. Sure, I was admittedly the woman who got a positive pee stick and asked her doctor immediately afterwards if it was too soon for an epidural. But I thought a birthing class would reassure me that all would be well when, in fact, the opposite was true.
The tennis balls, breathing techniques, the mix CDs and birthing plans (what kind of plan is necessary beyond getting the kid out without incident?) — it was all too much for me. I looked around to see if anyone else was freaked out and I couldn't be sure. Regardless, there was none of the comfort I assumed I would receive considering women give birth, like, all the time. The class made birthing seemed unnecessarily complicated considering we all had to be birthed just to get here.
"But if you have an epidural, you don't really have pain like that, right?" I asked after every video and discussion in every class.
"Well, yes," said the instructor. "But if you use these techniques, you can avoid the epidural."
"But clearly these women haven't avoided any pain," I said.
That was usually when she called for a bathroom break.
One night during class we took a tour of the maternity wing at the hospital and the instructor showed us a little fishhook device that is sometimes used to pull the baby's head out if it's a somewhat complicated birth. I didn't have a chance to freak out; one of the dads-to-be fainted. I thanked him for doing to it for me.
As it turns out, nothing I learned in the birthing class came in handy. When my water broke a few days before I was supposed to be induced, I spent four hours trying to decide if that's what happened or if I had just wet the bed. I didn't have any normal contractions (dysfunctional labor; don't ask) and yet I still dilated to 10 centimeters. My OB came into the hospital room, sat down on the corner of the bed, put her hand on my knee and told me to start pushing (I thought at least I'd be in a different room than I'd be in for that past 12 hours). And then, after an hour, she turned off the epidural.
That's when I started calling for someone's head ("Don't tell me I don't feel the urge to push enough! I'm doing a great job pushing!" I hollered). After an hour of that — perhaps they were waiting for me to lose my voice — I was wheeled into the operating room for a c-section.
And most importantly, not on one video or in one birthing class discussion did they indicate there would be a curtain placed between my neck and the rest of my body. Nor did the instructor let on that I wouldn't be able to hold my daughter immediately following the delivery, nor that my husband wouldn't be allowed to cut the umbilical cord.
Looking back, the class definitely wasn't necessary and did way more harm than good. But at the very least, I learned from it that I mostly certainly won't ever need to take it again.
Did you think birthing class was worth it?

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs), also called nosocomial infections to better describe the range of places they can occur, have become a major health concern. In the U.S., between 5% and 10% of patients admitted to acute care hospitals acquire infections. This accounts for over two million patients per year, and these infections result in over 90,000 deaths per year. Over one-quarter of HAIs occur in ICUs, but nursing homes and rehabilitation centers are also impacted.
The cost of HAIs is significant and troubling; in 2005, it was estimated at $4.7 billion per year in the U.S. alone. Given the increased incidence in certain medical conditions and the growth in hospital populations and cost of stays, as well as the expense of treating some advanced cases, Kalorama estimates that nearly $6 billion per year is spent on treatment and extended hospital stays.
Yet, despite the cost and negative impact on patients, pharmaceutical companies have not responded as we would expect. This, in our view, leaves open an opportunity for new treatments from innovative biopharmaceutical companies.
The type of infections vary, with the most common being pneumonias and urinary tract infections, accounting for 60% of hospital acquired infections, but conditions like MRSA continue to increase. It is estimated that MRSA cases have doubled over this decade. Drug-resistant pneumonia, Clostridium difficile, Acinetobacter baumannii, and MRSA are the most prevelant hospital acquired infections.
Pneumonia is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill, and are therefore, normally hospitalized in acute care, short-stay, or extended-care hospitals. Nosocomial pneumonia is pneumonia acquired during or after hospitalization for another illness or procedure with onset at least 72 hours after admission. Up to 10% of patients admitted to a hospital for other causes subsequently develop pneumonia.
C. difficile is a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. From 1996 through 2003, there were an estimated 264,000 hospital discharges for which Clostridium difficile-associated disease was listed as a diagnosis.
Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a cause of numerous global outbreaks and is displaying ever-increasing rates of resistance. There are reports of multidrug resistant (MDR) A. baumannii from hospitals around the world. More recently, military and nonmilitary personnel returning from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have harbored infections caused by MDR A. baumannii.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (as methicillin is no longer on the market). MRSA is, by definition, a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to a large group of antibiotics called the beta-lactams, which include the penicillins and the cephalosporins.
MRSA is especially troublesome in nosocomial infections. In hospitals, patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk for infection than the general public.
Recent reports indicate that there is a nationwide epidemic of MRSA in the United States. A 2007 CDC report on emerging infectious diseases estimated that the number of MRSA infections treated in hospitals doubled nationwide, from approximately 127,000 in 1999 to 278,000 in 2005, while at the same time deaths increased from 11,000 to more than 17,000.

During Napoleon's rise to the status of Emperor and his conquest of Germany in 1806, Mme de Staël was banned from Paris and stayed at Coppet, her retreat on Lake Geneva, until she could return to Paris after Napoleon's defeat in 1814. While in exile she travelled to England and to Germany, where she made the eminent literary critic August Wilhelm Schlegel her constant companion. During the time spent with the classical German poets in Weimar (1803-04; 1807-08), Mme de Staël collected and worked on notes for De l'Allemagne [On Germany].

Last Spring, documentary filmmaker Brett Culp sought the support of his fellow Batman fans to tell the story of how The Dark Knight inspires us all and why we love the character so much. Below you will see a trailer and featurette, each of which offers a glimpse at what has been accomplished so far, but there is more work that needs to be done. A new kickstarter campaign has been launched to help finish the film and it is already near its goal. With your support, this film, our film can be completed. If you are able, I encourage anyone reading this to contribute, as this documentary can be a defining moment in Batman fandom.
Tomorrow, February 23, I will have the privilege of moderating a free video webcast with Mr. Culp and our own Josh Costella, who is an executive producer on the film. You can RSVP to listen and ask questions as we discuss our mutual belief in the power of Batman HERE.
February 21, 2013
Documentary film "Legends of the Knight" explores the inspirational impact of Batman and the power of heroic storytelling.
The trailer for the new documentary film "Legends of the Knight" debuted online on Thursday.
The not-for-profit film collects the stories of Batman fans around the world whose lives have been significantly impacted by the legends and tales of the Dark Knight.
The official trailer can be viewed at www.WEareBATMAN.com or on YouTube: http://youtu.be/sf_7IsvXV-U
"Batman has become contemporary mythology," producer/director Brett Culp said. "We want to show how enduring stories like this shape us. Our goal is to inspire everyone on the planet who loves Batman to embody his spirit, engage with the world, and make a difference. Together, we are Batman."
Culp is a life-long Batman fan. Over the past year, he and his team have filmed stories in 12 cities, recording 48 interviews. They captured the stories of individuals whose love of the Dark Knight has inspired them to overcome devastating obstacles, to motivate and encourage young people, and to contribute to their communities.
Well-known Batfans who appear in the film include:
• Michael Uslan – executive producer of "Batman", "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", and "The Dark Knight Rises"
• Denny O'Neil – legendary Batman writer
• Lenny B Robinson – visits children's hospitals around the country as Batman
• Jill Pantozzi (The Nerdy Bird) – Superhero journalist with the spirit of the Caped Crusader
• Rabbi Cary Friedman – author, "Wisdom from the Batcave"
• Dr. Travis Langley – author, "Batman & Psychology"; teacher of university course in psychology called "Batman"
• Gotham Chopra – co-author, "Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes"; son of best-selling author Deepak Chopra
The film's production team is offering a unique opportunity for supporters to interact and ask questions via a free online video webcast on Saturday, February 23 at 2pm EST. The webcast will be hosted on www.WEareBATMAN.com.
"Human beings have always been stirred to greatness by the tales of heroes," Culp said. "We connect with Batman because he is the super hero with no super powers. Just as he has committed himself to making the world better, we can dedicate ourselves to a noble cause and make a difference. This type of inspiration is a core function of storytelling in society."
The production team for "Legends of the Knight" is now raising funds through Kickstarter to finish the film. The 30-day funding campaign gives supporters of the project the opportunity to pre-order copies of the finished film and other incentives as a way of funding this documentary project.
The campaign raised nearly $5,000 in pledges in the first 12 hours.
LINK to Kickstarter campaign: http://www.kickstarter.com/
projects/brettculp/legends-of- the-knight
In the spirit of Batman, all revenues generated by the completed film that are beyond production, screening, distribution, and administrative costs will be donated to charitable organizations.
Release date will be Summer 2013.

A used S&W 5906 is probably the most under rated 40 out there. There are a lot of police trade ins at good prices because most LEO are going to polymer guns.
CZ is another option.

March 13, 2009, 01:10 AM
I have a S&W 410, its kind of the "economy" version of the 4006. Mine hasn't had a failure of any kind in about 1500 rounds, and its a little lighter than the 4006. The 410 has an aluminum frame and I believe the 4006 frame is steel (not positive though).

Stoeger Cougar 8040 gets my vote

great buy on 4043,it would be 450.00 this neck of the woods in vg.smith wesson anything 9mm/40/45 has shot way up.
March 13, 2009, 11:44 AM
Very compact but heavy, very reliable and built to last. Firestar. The common complaint is that parts are hard to find, that's true for older versions. These were one of the later offerings and a good solid CCW gun.
I found this overpriced one on GB, but there is another with a poor quality photo for just over 3 bills.
March 13, 2009, 12:32 PM
Yea, I'm looking to spend $450 or less. At this point, the actual purchase wont be for at least a month, probably more like 2 months.
If J&G still has a good price on their S&W 4043 Trade ins, then i will get one. If the total cost of the gun ($370) + shipping ($22) + the transfer fee is $400 or less, then thats what i will get.
If it totals over $400, i will just purchase a Ruger P94 New. Iv owned P-series int he past, and was happy with it.
March 13, 2009, 06:56 PM
If I recall the S&W's that CDNN have are less than $350, or were about 9 months ago. Mine looks new, other than the grips I replaced.
Fred Fuller
March 13, 2009, 08:40 PM
Beretta 8040, DAO if you can find one. CDNN had 'em super cheap a while back, and I got a pair (full size and mini). Summit ( http://www.summitgunbroker.com/ ) had some a while back, they seem to be out now too. Best thing going in a .40, the action design really handles the recoil well. The Stoeger is the same gun, different name, though AFAIK they only offer a DA/SA action.
The Lone Haranguer
March 13, 2009, 11:03 PM
Remember that a 4043 is a DAO action.
March 14, 2009, 08:04 AM
The discontinued CZ 40B was being sold by CDNN last year for $289. I dont think that have them anymore, but they pop up on internet auction site's occasionally for cheap. I picked up my via auctionarms for $275. This pistol should easily sell for $500. It is a cz 75 internally and kind of looks like a colt commander on the outside.

FAA announces closure of local control towers
149 towers to close nationwide
The Federal Administration Association announced Friday it's planning to close 149 regional airport control towers due to forced spending cuts.
The plan involves closing the towers over a four-week period beginning on April 7.
See the full tower closure list
Critics worry shutting down the towers could impact safety. But the FAA said it will manage the system by reducing volume, not reducing safety.
Local airports that are in the list include New Smyrna Beach Municipal, Ormond Beach Municipal, Leesburg International, Ocala International and Space Coast Regional in Titusville.
The towers at Kissimmee Gateway Airport and Orlando Executive were spared.
Last month, the FAA released a list of nearly 200 towers facing potential closure, giving airport managers a few weeks to submit arguments for keeping them open.

This �blue-collar� win was a bit more aesthetically pleasing offensively than Thursday�s win.
But it was the familiar brand of Durango High School defense that brought it home.
The DHS boys basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the Tate�s Auto Group Shootout in Winslow, Ariz., with a 52-38 win over Tuba City (Ariz.) on Friday.
Ty Elliott broke out in a big way for Durango (2-0), scoring nearly half the Demons� points in a 23-point effort, and Nick Hamlin continued his consistent start with 13 points.
�He could�ve easily had a 30-pointer (Friday). ... He definitely had confidence and had it going in each quarter, staying consistent,� DHS head coach Alan Batiste said of Elliott�s performance.
�A lot of his production came from him getting into the lane and finishing. ... He was taking the ball to the basket pretty strong.�
While Durango upped its point total, Batiste said he wasn�t thrilled with the way his squad moved the ball and handled the ball, citing turnovers as an issue.
But as the offense looks to work out its kinks, the defense is carrying the load. Durango held an opponent to less than 40 points for the second time in as many games, and until the offense gets rolling where the Demons want it, the defense will be the deciding factor.
�Again, we just relied on defense. ... We�re waiting on the offense to kind of start clicking. It�s all timing. The boys will get there. It�s still early,� Batiste said.
Durango will play in the semifinals at 11:30 a.m. today against an opponent to be determined, with a win putting the Demons into the title game at 8 p.m.

Des Moines hit 100 degrees again today, which makes it three times the city has seen triple-digit temperatures this year.
It's the first time the city has hit 100 three times in one year since 1988, said Kevin Deitsch, meteorologist with the National Weather Service. That year, Des Moines broke the 100-degree barrier 10 times.
And it could be four by the end of tomorrow. Deitsch said Friday's expected high is 102, two degrees off the record for that day, set in 1886.
But it's finally expected to cool off this weekend. Saturday's highs will be in the low 90s, Sunday will be the mid to high 80s, he said. Typically for this time of year, 86 degrees is the norm Deitsch said.
"We're finally going to get a reprieve from the heat," he said.
But although the temperatures are dropping, the chances for precipitation are not high. There will be a chance of showers overnight Saturday and into Sunday, but the chances aren't high, only 20 percent. As of midnight Thursday, Deitsch said, since June 1, the area was 3.39 inches below normal, and 3.56 since Jan. 1.
"We'll at least get the cool down but not sure we'll get the precipitation with it," he said.

There are not likely to ever be any more updates for the 3.1.x branch.
We're on the 3.2 family, and 3.3 is starting to take shape.
From historical observation, there is a period of overlap when two
families get actively updated in sa-update, but once the current release
(in this case 3.2) stabilizes and development starts to work on the next
release (in this case 3.3) updates for the previous release (3.1.x) are
more-or-less dropped unless there's a major issue with one of the rules
(ie: if a dos in a rule regex cropped up).
Besides, sa-update only updates half of spamassassin, the rules half,
and it does not update the code. The latest rules won't help you if your
HTML de-obfuscators and other such things are old, and that stuff lives
in the code, not the rules. It changes quite a bit slower than the
rules, but it does change, and does need updating sometimes.

| # During an update, Conary only installs the diff of the update, not the full

| # If anything went wrong with an installation or update, you can rollback
