Publisher's Description
Brainwashed is the explosive exposé of the leftist agenda at work in today's colleges, revealed by firebrand Ben Shapiro, a recent UCLA gratudate, syndicated columnist, and one of today's most exciting new conservative voices, who's been on the front lines of the battle for America's young minds. This book proves once and for all that so-called higher education continues to sink lower and lower into the depths of liberal madness as close-minded professors turn their students into socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and sex-crazed narcissists.
"Ben Shapiro's writing is smart, informative, and incisive. He is wise byond his years without losing the refreshing fearlessness of youth." ?Ann Coulter, best-selling author of High Crimes and Misdeameanors, Slander, and Treason
"In Brainwashed, Shapiro tells the truth?that universities are forums of left-liberal indoctrination, where dissent is discouraged and penalized, with more restrictions on free speech rather any other part of American society. Parents who are paying for tutition might want to take note, and see what their hard-earned money is paying for." ?Michael Barone, U.S. News & World report and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics
"Welcome to P.C. 101. In ths trenchant insider's expose, Ben Shapiro bears witness to the modern American campus freak show. You'll get up close and personal with the Marxist loons, moral relativists, multicultural zealots, and American-haters who are corrupting young minds. Brainwahed reveals the ignominious lows to which higher education has sunk. Get deprogrammed. Buy this book!" ?Michelle Malkin, nationally syndiated columnist and author of Invasion
"Sharp thinking, tight writing, crazy-but-true stories: Ben Shapiro sees campus brainwashing and raises a national protest. This is a good book to give both freshmen who need warning and voters/alumni who need to take action." ?Dr. Marvin Olasky, University of Texas professor and editor-in-chief of World magazine
"A worthy successor to God and Man at Yale and Harvard Hates America in exploring the bely of the academic beast." ?David Horowitz, founder of Students for Academic Freedom and author of Radical Son and Left Illusions
"What Animal House did for the toga party, Brainwashed should do for American resistance to campus radicalism." ?Rusty Humphries, nationally syndicated radio talk show host

Indirect Hemagglutinating Antibody Response to Herpesvirus hominis Types 1 and 2 in Immunized Laboratory Animals and in Natural Infections of Man
Back, Arthur F.
Schmidt, Nathalie J.
Applied Microbiology
Indirect hemagglutinating (IHA) antibody responses to Herpesvirus hominis types 1 and 2 (HVH-1 and HVH-2) were compared to complement-fixing and neutralizing antibody responses in immunized laboratory animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters) and in natural infections of man. With the immunized animals, type specificity was seen only in the IHA test and only with antisera produced in hamsters and in the rabbits immunized with HVH-2. In human nongenital infections (considered to be caused predominately by HVH-1), IHA and neutralizing antibodies developed at about the same rate and reached approximately the same levels for HVH-1 and HVH-2. IHA titers tended to be higher than neutralizing antibody titers for both virus types. In genital infections (considered to be caused predominately by HVH-2), there was a rapid IHA antibody response to HVH-2, and the early HVH-2 antibody demonstrable by IHA, but not by neutralization tests, was found to be immunoglobulin M in nature. In genital infections, IHA titers for HVH-2 were markedly higher than neutralization titers, but there was no pronounced difference in neutralizing the IHA antibody titers for HVH-1. Several patients with genital infections fialed to develop IHA antibody for HVH-1. The IHA test possessed no greater sensitivity than did complement fixation or neutralization tests for serodiagnosis of HVH infections. Despite the fact that a number of patients with genital infections produced IHA antibody only for HVH-2, the test was no more effective than the neutralization test in providing a type-specific serodiagnosis of infection, due largely to the fact that the rapid IHA antibody response to HVH-2 prevented demonstration of a further, significant antibody titer increase in a number of cases.

Detection of Coronavirus 229E Antibody by Indirect Hemagglutination
Kaye, Harold S.
Ong, Suat Bee
Dowdle, Walter R.
Applied Microbiology
Tannic-acid treated sheep erythrocytes (fresh or glutaraldehyde preserved) were sensitized with 229E antigens from human embryonic lung (RU-1) cell cultures. Indirect hemagglutination (IHA) antigen titers in 229E-infected cell cultures paralleled virus infectivity and complement fixation (CF) antigen titers. The identity of the IHA antigen was confirmed by testing extracts from inoculated and control cell cultures for ability to inhibit IHA. Also, significant increases in IHA antibody were demonstrated with acute and convalescent serum pairs from patients with proven 229E infections. A comparison of IHA, neutralization and CF titers for 229E antibodies was made on human sera drawn from different populations. The IHA and neutralization results were in agreement on 93% of the 129 sera found to be positive by at least one of three tests. The number of antibody titers detected by the CF test was insufficient to permit comparison. Hyperimmune sera from animals immunized with OC 43 did not react with 229E by IHA. Also no increase in IHA antibody was demonstrated with acute and convalescent serum pairs from patients with seroconversions to OC 43. These findings suggest that the IHA test provides (i) a rapid and sensitive method for serodiagnosis of 229E infections and (ii) a simple and inexpensive method for seroepidemiological studies.

Analysis of antibody assay methods and classes of viral antibodies in serodiagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection.
Cremer, N E
Hoffman, M
Lennette, E H
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Forty-nine serum pairs with antibody to cytomegalovirus (CMV) were evaluated for rises in antibody titer (greater than or equal to fourfold) by indirect hemagglutination (IHA) and complement fixation (CF), using a freeze-thaw antigen (FT) and a glycine extract antigen (GE). In this sample CF-FT detected more rises in antibody titer than did CF-GE. IHA detected the least number. The apparent reason for stationary antibody titers with CF-GE and IHA was the presence of high antibody titers in the first serum specimen. Separation of immunoglobulin classes of 20 serum pairs by sucrose gradient centrifugation indicated that these antibodies with IHA were of the immunoglobulin M (IgM) class and those with CF-GE were of the IgG class. By separation of immunoglobulin classes, rises in IgG CMV antibody titers were seen with IHA, rises not observed in the whole serum because of high IgM antibody titers in the first serum specimen. Absence of rises in antibody titers with CF-FT was due in part to too early sampling of the second serum specimen (less than 21 days) and in part to an apparent inability of some individuals to respond with antibody reactive with FT antigen. CF-GE and CF-FT antibodies of the IgM class were detected in some sera, usually in specimens collected more than 10 days after the onset of symptoms. Although reactive with CMV antigen, the specificity of these IgM antibodies in relation to rheumatoid factor requires clarification.

Reactivity of Envelope, Capsid, and Soluble Antigens of Herpesvirus hominis Types 1 and 2 in the Indirect Hemagglutination Test
Back, Arthur F.
Schmidt, Nathalie J.
Infection and Immunity
Envelope, capsid, and soluble antigens of Herpesvirus hominis (HVH) types 1 and 2 were compared to crude antigens (disrupted HVH-infected cells) for potency, type-specificity, and diagnostic value in the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. The envelope appeared to be the predominant component reacting in the IHA test, but recurrent HVH infections increased the reactivity of human sera with capsid antigens. The soluble antigens reacted in the IHA test with HVH immune animal sera, but very few convalescent-phase human sera showed reactivity with soluble antigens. Overall, none of the subunit antigens showed greater type-specificity than did crude antigens in IHA tests with immune animal or convalescent-phase human sera. Recurrent infections with type 1 or type 2 viruses tended to broaden heterotypic reactivity of the patients' sera with both crude and subunit antigens, even in patients showing only a single type of antibody by IHA inhibition. Subunit antigens were no more sensitive than crude antigens in demonstrating significant IHA antibody titer rises for serodiagnosis of herpesvirus infections, and they generally had to be used at lower working dilutions than crude antigens.

Serological Diagnosis of Human Melioidosis with Indirect Hemagglutination and Complement Fixation Tests
Alexander, Aaron D.
Huxsoll, David L.
Warner, Albert R.
Shepler, Virginia
Dorsey, Arthur
Applied Microbiology
An indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test and a complement fixation (CF) test were evaluated from test results on sera from 212 human melioidosis patients of which 119 were culturally proved cases. Significant antibody titers (IHA titers of 1:40 or greater and CF titers of 1:4 or greater) were demonstrated with either test in all except five patients. IHA and CF titers ranged as high as 1:20,480 and 1:1,024, respectively. Antibodies were usually demonstrated by both tests 1 week after onset of disease. Transient seronegative reactions during the course of disease were seen in sera of approximately 19% of the patients with either IHA and CF but rarely with both tests. High titers in either test were obtained by the third week of disease and reached maximum levels in 4 to 5 months. Titers usually were detectable for 9 or more months. Antibodies were detected by IHA and CF tests in 80 to 100% of the sera obtained at various time intervals from 9 months to 2 or more years after disease onset. Antibody persistence occurred in patients who had a short disease course, as well as in patients with prolonged, complicated infections. The IHA test had excellent specificity when evaluated with normal human sera and diverse antimicrobial sera from hyperimmunized rabbits and human patients. The CF antigen appeared to contain common antigens with some but not all types of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The specificity of the CF antigen could be enhanced without appreciable effect on its sensitivity by use of a titer of 1:8 in lieu of 1:4 as a criterion for a significant reaction. Either test could be used advantageously for the laboratory diagnosis of melioidosis.

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
A commercial indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test using erythrocytes coated with Schistosoma mansoni adult worm antigens (WA) and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with S. mansoni egg antigens (SEA) were assessed for their use in serodiagnosis of imported schistosomiasis (hereafter these tests are designated WA/IHA and SEA/ELISA, respectively). The sensitivity of the tests was evaluated with sera from 75 patients with proven S. mansoni infection, 25 with proven S. haematobium infection, and 10 with clinical Katayama fever. The specificity was assessed with sera from 283 patients with various parasitic, bacterial, viral, and fungal infections and sera containing autoimmune antibodies. Sensitivities of the WA/IHA with a cutoff titer of 1:160 (WA/IHA160) in detecting S. mansoni, S. haematobium, S. mansoni and S. haematobium combined, and clinical Katayama fever were 88.0, 80.0, 86.0, and 70.0%, respectively, with a specificity of 98.9%. The WA/IHA with a cutoff of 1:80 (WA/IHA80) showed sensitivities of 94.7, 92.0, 94.0, and 90.0%, respectively, with a specificity of 94.7%. The comparable values of SEA/ELISA were 93.3, 92.0, 93.0, and 50.0%, respectively, with a specificity of 98.2%. Combined use of ELISA and WA/IHA80 gave sensitivities of 100% for S. mansoni, S. haematobium, and S. mansoni and S. haematobium combined and 90% for Katayama fever. The specificity of this combination in detecting schistosomiasis was 92.9%. Combination of SEA/ELISA with WA/IHA160 gave sensitivities of 98.7, 96.0, 98.0, and 80% with a specificity of 97.2%. Our findings suggest that WA/IHA and SEA/ELISA are each sensitive and specific serological tests that are easy to use for the diagnosis of imported schistosomiasis. The combined use of these two tests enabled the serological diagnosis of schistosomiasis to be achieved with very high degrees of both sensitivity and specificity.

Laboratory diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. 3. Detection of IgM antibodies to M. pneumoniae by a modified indirect haemagglutination test.
Kok, T. W.

Worswick, D. A.
Martin, J.
Epidemiology and Infection
The indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test was compared with the complement-fixation (CF) test for the measurement of antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. A modification of the IHA was used to measure M. pneumoniae IgM antibodies. Sera were obtained from various groups of patients who were either culture or antigen positive for M. pneumoniae in nasopharyngeal aspirates or who had fourfold or greater increase in CF antibody or a titre greater than or equal to 320. The results of these comparisons showed that the modified IHA test was specific and more sensitive (89% as opposed to 64%) than the CF test. The modified IHA test for the detection of IgM antibody was highly effective in the recognition of recent or current infection with the mycoplasma. It was also of equal sensitivity to an indirect enzyme immunoassay for the detection of IgM antibodies to M. pneumoniae.

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
To evaluate the usefulness of the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test in the epidemiological investigation of shigellosis, single serum specimens were tested from 50 patients with Shigella dysenteriae 1 (Shiga bacillus) infections, 103 asymptomatic contacts of these cases, 267 adult and 100 student control, and serum specimens collected during two outbreaks caused by S. sonnei and one outbreak due to S. flexneri 6. In patients with S. dysenteriae 1, 74% demonstrated titers of greater than or equal to 1:40, with 50% showing titers of greater than or equal to 1:160, whereas in the controls 10.4% had titers of greater than or equal to 1:40 and only 0.3% had titers of greater than or equal to 1:160. IHA titers in serum specimens collected from patients with S. sonnei and S. flexneri 6 were too low to be considered diagnostic for individual patients, but were useful in analysis of group results. Groups of ill individuals yielded titers significantly higher than non-ill groups; however, titers from ill groups were usually less than 1:40. The IHA test for S. dysenteriae 1 antibodies serves as a valuable adjunct to the diagnosis of Shiga bacillus dysentery. In our laboratory, an IHA titer of 1:40 or 1:80 is a "borderline positive." Shiga bacillus dysentery is strongly indicated when IHA titers are greater than or equal to 1:60.

Guinea Pig Herpes-Like Virus Infection I. Antibody Response and Virus Persistence in Guinea Pigs After Experimental Infection
Lam, K. M.
Hsiung, G. D.
Infection and Immunity
Guinea pigs, experimentally infected with guinea pig herpes-like virus produced antibodies which were detectable by indirect hemagglutination (IHA), complement-fixation (CF), and neutralization tests. The IHA test appeared to be a more sensitive method than the CF or neutralization test for determining antibody response in guinea pigs immediately after infection, but the IHA method was not suitable for the detection of antibody in animals receiving small doses of virus. Antibody titers obtained by CF tests were generally higher than those obtained by the neutralization test, and they followed the same time course when individual animals were studied serially. Intracardiac inoculation produced the best antibody response in guinea pigs when compared with other routes of infection. Guinea pigs infected by the intraperitoneal, intranasal, or oral route showed rising antibody titers but the levels were low. Infectious virus was isolated from and persisted in all inoculated animals in the presence of antibody regardless of the route of inoculation. Recovery of infectious virus required cultivation or cocultivation of tissue cells containing virus. The administration of antilymphocyte sera delayed the appearance of IHA antibody but had no effect on antibodies determined by the CF- and neutralization tests.

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections should be prevented in seronegative immunocompromised patients by providing blood products from donors who are also seronegative. Latex agglutination was investigated as a simple and rapid method for detecting antibody against CMV. Latex beads were coated with CMV antigen, incubated for 8 min at room temperature with 25 microliter of sera, and examined for agglutination. The sensitivity and specificity of latex agglutination was compared with that of indirect hemagglutination (IHA, Cetus Corp., Emeryville, Calif.) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with sera from 604 random blood donors or patients. Of 327 serum samples shown to be seronegative by EIA and IHA, 327 had a latex agglutination titer of less than 1:4 (specificity, 100%). Of 236 serum samples with detectable antibody by EIA and IHA, 228 had a latex agglutination titer of 1:4 or greater (sensitivity, 97%). Plasma collected with EDTA, heparin, or citrate was satisfactory for latex agglutination. Latex agglutination results correlated quantitatively with those of EIA, and the test also detected fourfold or greater rises in antibody with paired sera from six patients with posttransfusion CMV infections. Latex agglutination is a sensitive and specific assay that is rapid and simple to perform and should be effective in selecting seronegative blood donors to prevent posttransfusion CMV infections in seronegative recipients.

Evaluation of the Indirect Hemagglutination Assay for Diagnosis of Acute Leptospirosis in Hawaii
Effler, Paul V.
Domen, Harry Y.
Bragg, Sandra L.
Aye, Tin
Sasaki, David M.
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Timely diagnosis of leptospirosis is important to ensure a favorable clinical outcome. The definitive serologic assay, the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), requires paired sera and is not useful for guiding early clinical management. The only screening test approved for use in the United States, the indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA), has not undergone extensive field evaluation. To assess the performance of the leptospirosis IHA in Hawaii, serum from patients evaluated for leptospirosis between 1992 and 1997 were tested with the IHA at the Hawaii State Laboratories Division and with the MAT at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Leptospirosis was considered confirmed by a fourfold rise in MAT titer and/or a positive culture. A total of 92 (41%) of 226 specimens from 114 persons with confirmed leptospirosis were found positive by IHA. Only 18 (15%) of 119 specimens obtained within 14 days of onset were IHA positive, compared to 74 (69%) of 107 specimens collected more than 14 days after onset (P <0.001). Repeat testing ultimately resulted in 78 (68%) of the confirmed cases having at least one specimen found positive by IHA. Thirteen different presumptive infecting serogroups were identified among 251 specimens with an MAT titer of ≥200 and obtained from persons with confirmed or probable leptospirosis. Fifty (68%) of 73 specimens with Icterohaemorrhagiae as the presumptive infecting serogroup were found positive by IHA, compared to 44 (47%) of 93 specimens with Australis as the presumptive infecting serogroup (P, 0.01). The IHA test was positive for 3 (1%) of 236 specimens from 154 persons without leptospirosis. The sensitivity of the leptospirosis IHA in Hawaii was substantially below figures reported previously, particularly early in the course of illness, limiting its usefulness for diagnosing acute infection. Since the presumptive infecting serogroup affected IHA results and the prevalence of serovars varies with geography, the performance of the IHA should be assessed locally. More sensitive leptospirosis screening tests are needed in Hawaii.

Three serological tests for the detection of gonococcal antibodies were compared: an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), an indirect haemagglutination reaction (IHA), and a gonococcal complement-fixation test (GCFT). The ELISA was performed with gonococcal pili of a Rotterdam strain (1443) as antigen, the IHA with pilus antigen of an American strain (2686, Buchanan), and the GCFT with whole gonococci of a single strain (46695, Oliver) as antigen. The tests were performed on sera from the same groups of Dutch patients; samples of sera were taken at the first examination and generally 11-22 days later. The ELISA and the IHA were more sensitive than the GCFT. The specificity of the tests was equal in low-risk groups, but the GCFT was slightly more specific in high-risk groups. The ELISA and the IHA did not differ in sensitivity and specificity. The agreement between the ELISA and IHA for patients with uncomplicated gonorrhoea was low (chi = 0.44), but the agreement between the GCFT and the two pilus assays was less (chi = 0.26 and 0.20). The sensitivities were highest for sera from patients with oropharyngeal gonorrhoea or with gonococcal complications; again the ELISA and the IHA were more sensitive than the GCFT.

Evaluation of MUREX SUDS Toxo test.

Hausler, W J
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
The SUDS Toxo test (MUREX Corp., Norcross, Ga.) was compared with the indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) and the indirect fluorescent-antibody test (IFA) by examining 404 serum specimens, including 64 (15.8%) specimens with IFA titers of greater than or equal to 1:2. When SUDS was compared with IHA, sensitivity (96.4%), specificity (97.9%), and negative predictive value (99.4%) indicated that there were similar reactivities between the two tests. When an IFA titer of greater than or equal to 1:16 was considered significant and IHA and SUDS were compared with IFA, IHA was slightly less sensitive but had a higher positive predictive value than did SUDS; however, there was no statistical difference between the tests. When SUDS was compared with IFA, in which a titer of greater than or equal to 1:16 was considered significant, the high negative predictive value (100%), excellent sensitivity (100%) and specificity (98.3%), and ease of performance made SUDS an attractive alternative to IHA for screening single serum specimens for toxoplasmosis.

Evidence of Burkholderia pseudomallei-Specific Immunity in Patient Sera Persistently Nonreactive by the Indirect Hemagglutination Assay▿

Norton, Robert E.
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology : CVI
The indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) is the most frequently used serological test to confirm exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei. Patients with culture-confirmed disease often have a nonreactive IHA at presentation and occasionally fail to seroconvert on serial testing. We investigated whether using antigens derived from the cultured isolates of persistently IHA-nonreactive patient sera improved the sensitivity of the IHA. In addition, we assessed the antigen-specific lymphocyte response in this group of patients to a panel of B. pseudomallei antigens, including those derived from their own cultured isolates. Eleven patients with culture-proven melioidosis were identified as having persistently IHA-nonreactive sera. A modified IHA using erythrocytes sensitized with patient isolate-derived antigen tested against convalescent-phase serum was performed. The majority (82%) of sera showed a negative (≤1:5) result, one was borderline (1:20), and one was positive at the cutoff value (1:40). IHA-nonreactive sera were also tested by enzyme immunoassay (EIA), with 73% (8/11) demonstrating IgG positivity. In addition, lymphocytes isolated from persistently IHA-nonreactive patient sera demonstrated significantly increased proliferation in response to B. pseudomallei antigens compared to controls. These studies demonstrate the presence of B. pseudomallei-specific antibody by EIA and B. pseudomallei-specific lymphocytes in patient sera categorized as persistently nonreactive according to the IHA. New immunoassays are required and should incorporate B. pseudomallei antigens that are immunoreactive for this subset of IHA-nonreactive patient sera.

Indirect hemagglutination test for human antibody to typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae.
Shirai, A
Dietel, J W
Osterman, J V
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
An indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test is described that uses glutaraldehyde-stabilized erythrocytes treated with a rickettsial erythrocyte-sensitizing substance obtained from Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia rickettsii. The serological reagent was stable for at least 3 months at room temperature and 6 months at 4 C. It exhibited group specificity and no group cross-reactivity. At a minimum dilution of 1:40, acute and early convalescent epidemic and murine typhus antisera showed 86% positive reactors, whereas similar spotted fever antisera had 74% positive reactors. In comparison with the indirect fluorescent antibody test, the IHA procedure gave lower titers but showed comparable detection of seroconversion with most paired sera. The IHA test demonstrated significantly higher titers than the complement fixation test and was more sensitive than either the complement fixation or Weil-Felix test in identifying seroconversion. No agglutination was observed when sensitized erythrocytes were tested with rodent sera known to contain rickettsial antibodies.

Typing Herpesvirus hominis Antibodies and Isolates by Inhibition of the Indirect Hemagglutination Reaction
Back, Arthur F.
Schmidt, Nathalie J.
Applied Microbiology
Inhibition of the indirect hemagglutination reaction (IHA inhibition) was compared to several other methods for type-specific identification of Herpesvirus hominis (HVH) antibodies and isolates. The method appears to have the greatest value for typing antibodies for HVH type 1 and HVH type 2 in human sera; identification of antibody type was relatively simple and results were definitive. The IHA-inhibition test permitted serological diagnosis of HVH type 2 infection in three young adults with meningoencephalitis, thus extending the mounting evidence that nervous system involvement with this virus type is not limited to neonatal infections. II/I indexes of neutralizing or IHA antibody gave an accurate indication of the presence of HVH type 2 antibody in those sera containing type 2 antibody by IHA inhibition, but they indicated the presence of HVH type 2 antibody in one-half or more of the sera shown to contain only HVH type 1 antibody by IHA inhibition. For typing HVH isolates, the IHA-inhibition test gave results identical to those obtained by direct fluorescent-antibody staining using cross-absorbed conjugates, but the IHA-inhibition test was much more cumbersome and time-consuming to perform than was direct fluorescent-antibody staining. A microneutralization technique for virus typing also gave results identical to those obtained with direct fluorescent-antibody staining and IHA inhibition. However, typing HVH isolates by plaque size or the differential effect of incubation temperature was found to be less definitive and accurate.

Serum proteins adsorbed from the culture medium were detected in Mycoplasma bovis antigens, the number and type of proteins depending on the serum used in the medium. The alpha-globulins cross-reacted with alpha-globulins from different types of sera but the gamma-globulins did not. The removal of non-specific medium antibodies by absorption showed that they affected the gel diffusion and growth precipitation tests, producing cross-reactions between M. bovis and M. bovigenitalium, but that the complement fixation, tube agglutination, and growth inhibition tests were not similarly affected. The presence of serum proteins in the antigens changed their specific reactivity in all the tests. The production of antibodies to serum proteins was increased by the use of an adjuvant, but it appeared that production of specific antibodies to the mycoplasmas was not.

Screening for toxoplasmosis in pregnancy.
Broadbent, E J
Ross, R
Hurley, R
Journal of Clinical Pathology
The prevalence of antibody against Toxoplasma gondi in a population of 715 pregnant women has been evaluated by two methods: indirect haemagglutination antibody (IHA) and indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test and all positive sera were checked by the dye test. Five hundred of the study population were questioned on diet and on animal contact to elucidate a possible relation to the prevalence of antibody. Results are expressed in international units (IU) of antibody against T gondi. Of the 715 sera, 171 were positive by IHA and 173 by IFA. One hundred and sixty-seven sera were positive by both tests, ninety-eight (58%) correlating exactly, as to the concentration of antibody. The ten sera which were not positive by both tests all had detectable antibody at the minimum concentration only (12 IU). The dye test confirmed all sera positive by both tests with the exception of three. It also confirmed one of four sera positive by IHA antibody alone and two of six positive by IFA alone. All sera that proved dye test-negative had low antibody concentrations (12 IU) by IHA or IFA. The IHA test, which is commercially available in kit form, would be suitable for use as a screening test during pregnancy. The estimated annual rate of antibody acquisition over the age range 16-40 years is 1.2% per annum with the highest rate in the 36-40 age group (2.5% per annum) and the lowest in the 26-30 age group (0.4% per annum). The clinical history was not significantly different between those with and those without antibody against T gondi but significantly more women in the 36-40 age group had a history of animal contact than those in the 26-30 age group. No conclusive evidence of recent or current infection was found.

Comparison of six methods for the detection of antibody to cytomegalovirus.
McHugh, T M

Stites, D P
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Five commercial assays were compared to a standardized complement fixation (CF) test for the detection of antibody to cytomegalovirus. Two hundred and thirty serum specimens were analyzed. In addition, nine pairs of acute- and convalescent-phase sera were tested by two of the commercial assays. The assays were compared as to sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value, as well as incidence of false-positive and -negative results. Samples which did not agree in all the assays were retested and tested with an indirect fluorescent-antibody assay. Of 228 specimens, 103 (45.2%) were positive by CF. Of the 230 samples, 2 (0.9%) were inconclusive by CF and readable in the other assays. Of the 230 specimens, 97 (42.2%) were positive by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA; Litton Bionetics), 100 (43.5%) were positive by a second EIA (Abbott Laboratories), 104 (45.2%) were positive by a third EIA (M. A. Bioproducts). One hundred and eight (47.0%) were positive by indirect hemagglutination (IHA; Cetus Corporation), and 110 (47.8%) were positive by latex agglutination (LA; Hynson, Westcott and Dunning). Sensitivity and specificity were similar with all the assays (93 to 100%). The greater numbers of positive results by IHA and LA were confirmed by repeat CF testing at less than 1:8 dilution, and by indirect fluorescent-antibody assay. Acute- and convalescent-phase serum pairs showed a significant rise in antibody titer when tested by anticomplement immunofluorescence, IHA, and LA. There was good agreement among the assays, with LA having the highest sensitivity.

Micro-indirect hemagglutination test for detection of antibody against transmissible gastroenteritis virus of pigs.
Shimizu, M
Shimizu, Y
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
A micro-indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test was developed for detecting antibody against transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus of pigs. TGE virus propagated in swine kidney cell cultures was highly purified and concentrated by the combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, treatment with fluorocarbon, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Tanned sheep erythrocytes were sensitized with purified virus for use in the IHA test. The results of testing 104 serum samples collected from pigs in the field indicated that the IHA antibody titers were approximately five times higher than those obtained by a serum neutralization test and that there was good correlation between the antibody titers determined by the two tests. High IHA antibody titers developed in pigs experimentally exposed to virulent TGE virus. Sensitized sheep erythrocytes were stable under long-term storage at 4 degrees C (at least for 50 days). The conclusions made are that the IHA test described is more sensitive than the serum neutralization test for the detection of TGE antibody and may be of value for serodiagnosis of TGE.

In an effort to obtain the flexibility and ease of performance of a rapid, serological test for detection of cytomegalovirus antibody, the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) technique was investigated by using a microserological system. Antigens were prepared from tissue cultures of infected human fibroblasts. The specificity of the cytomegalovirus antibody response detected by the IHA test correlated well with the standard neutralization test. The IHA method was more sensitive than the complement fixation test in detecting antibody in congenitally infected newborns. There appeared to be some heterologous antibody response with Herpesvirus hominis or varicella virus infections. The IHA test pattern was found to be very stable with excellent persistence of agglutination.

Cytomegalovirus antigenic heterogeneity can cause false-negative results in indirect hemagglutination and complement fixation antibody assays.
Faix, R G
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Cord sera and antepartum maternal sera from three congenitally cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected infants and their mothers were CMV seronegative (titer, less than 8) in a complement fixation (CF) assay with a glycine-extracted CMV AD169 antigen; sera from two of the infants and mothers were also seronegative in a commercial indirect hemagglutination (IHA) assay with AD169 antigen. In tests with their own CMV isolates propagated and made into glycine-extracted CF antigen, all were seropositive. When 108 random cord sera were assayed for CF antibody with AD169, Davis, and A antigens (A is a locally derived antigen from one of the above infants), 44 were seropositive and 54 were seronegative for all three antigens. Of the remaining 10 sera, 4 were positive for A only, 3 were positive for A and Davis only, 2 were positive for Davis and AD169 only, and 1 was positive for AD169 only. All 10 were positive when a mixture of all three antigens was used. The IHA assay with AD169 antigen was positive with only 4 of these 10 sera. These results suggest that up to 6% of sera may be misclassified as seronegative in the CF and IHA assays if only a single antigen is used.

Evaluation of the Indirect Hemagglutination Assay for Diagnosis of Acute Leptospirosis
Levett, Paul N.
Whittington, Carol U.
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Serology plays an important role in the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Few laboratories have the resources and expertise to perform the microscopic agglutination test. There is a need for rapid and simple serological tests which facilitate the early diagnosis of leptospirosis, while antibiotic therapy may be most effective. A commercially available indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA; MRL Diagnostics, Cypress, Calif.) was evaluated with multiple serum specimens from 107 patients being investigated for leptospirosis. By using a combination of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods for immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies and the microscopic agglutination test, 54 patients were found to have leptospirosis and 53 were found not to have leptospirosis. The sensitivity of IHA for the detection of acute leptospirosis was 100%, the specificity was 94%, the positive predictive value was 95%, and the negative predictive value was 100%. IHA was negative when 13 antinuclear antibody-positive sera, 24 serum specimens from patients with syphilis, and 16 serum specimens false positive by the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test were tested. IHA was shown to detect both IgM and IgG classes of antibodies in human sera. Serum specimens from 27 dogs investigated for leptospirosis were studied: 3 samples gave nonspecific hemagglutination, but for all remaining samples, the results of IHA and an IgM ELISA were concordant. Performance of IHA was simple, and IHA requires no specialized equipment. It represents a useful assay for laboratories which require a leptospiral diagnostic capability but lack the expertise to perform specialist investigations.

Cross-reactions between Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) pleuropneumoniae strains of serotypes 1 and 9.
Mittal, K R
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains of serotypes 1 and 9 were studied for their serological properties by means of agglutination, coagglutination (CoA), indirect hemagglutination (IHA), Co-IHA, ring precipitation (RP), and immunodiffusion (ID) tests. Particulate and soluble antigens of unheated and heat-treated bacterial cells were used in various serological tests. Agglutination, CoA, and RP tests demonstrated common antigens between strains of serotypes 1 and 9. Quantitative estimation of serotype-specific antigenic activity by CoA, RP, and ID tests proved useful in differentiating strains of serotypes 1 and 9. IHA and Co-IHA tests using sheep erythrocytes sensitized with unheated or heat-treated whole-cell saline extract and the ID test using boiled whole-cell saline extract as antigen distinguished the strains of serotypes 1 and 9. In studies of absorption of rabbit antisera with heterologous whole-cell antigens there was no absorption of antibodies in tube agglutination and IHA tests, suggesting that serotype 1 and 9 strains belong to two distinct serogroups. It appears that the cross-reactivity between serotype 1 and 9 strains could be due to common epitopes associated with cell wall antigens.

Mycoplasma agalactiae subsp. bovis in pneumonia and arthritis of the bovine.
Langford, E V
Canadian Journal of Comparative Medicine
The pneumonic lungs of 42 cattle from 26 feedlots were examined for the presence of mycoplasma, pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Four animals representative of two lots failed to yield mycoplasma. One of these yielded the virus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and Pasteurella hemolytica, the other yielded only P. P. multocida. Nine animals in eight lots yielded Mycoplasma sp.: five of these were M. bovirhinis, two were M. arginini and two were untypable. All of these animals yielded one or more of P. hemolytica, P. multiocida, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus or bovine virus diarrhea virus. Twenty-five of 29 animals in 16 lots yieled M. agalactiae subsp. bovis from lung tissues. The same organism was recovered from the arthritic joints of 12 of these animals. Eight of the 25 animals yielded no other pathogen and all of these had not received any treatment. Nine of the 25 M. agalactiae subsp. bovis positive animals also yielded one or more of P. hemolytica, P. multocida, Corynebacterium pyogenes or infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. Bacteriological and virological studies were not completed for the remaining eight of the 25 positive animals. In five lots of cattle which had not received medication for pneumonia and for arthritis only M. agalactiae subsp. bovis was recovered. Twenty-five grossly normal lungs obtained from normal cattle at the time of slaughter were cultured and all were negative. The possible role of M. agalactiae subsp. bovis in pneumonia and arthritis was discussed.

Charmed by the Aiken community after a short visit here in 2005, I returned several months later to purchase a lot in Cedar Creek for my future move.
The lure of this area brought me sooner that I had expected and in 2007 Aiken became my home. Goodbye, Maryland, miss you, but I love it here.
Like many residents of Aiken, I became involved in volunteering with various organizations, but in 2011 I found a calling to get involved with FOTAS. I helped with fundraising and chaired two highly successful events for FOTAS.
My involvement was just to be assistance to the organization, but in 2013 I joined the FOTAS Board. Having had many pets prior to this, I thought my pet ownership days were over as I travel a lot and am also very busy here in Aiken.
Guess what I adopted two County Shelter animals, Meg (a terrier mix, the poster child for several FOTAS Woofstocks) and Zeus (a shih tzu). These two abandoned animals caught my heart, and here we are.
Many of my neighbors also support FOTAS. Some are devoted dog socializers and go to the Shelter four days a week (one became FOTAS very first volunteer in 2009.) Others help in many, many other ways.
It occurred to me recently just how involved the Cedar Creek community is supporting FOTAS and volunteering at the County Shelter itself.
There are about 1,200 residents in Cedar Creek (in a little over 600 homes.) Many are retired and many still work (both full and part-time.)
Like Aiken itself, this is a very involved and giving community. Recently I reviewed the FOTAS supporter list and was surprised that more than 100 of them are Cedar Creek residents.
Not only do they go to the shelter to walk the dogs and socialize the cats, they staff the front desk, do administrative and database tasks, chair and volunteer at special events (both on-site and off-site), participate in the short-term foster program, take photographs of the animals, help with publicity, donate towels and toys for the animals, generously donate money that helps FOTAS supplement the limited resources of the County Shelter, make peanut butter/green bean treats for the dogs, as well as issue spay/neuter vouchers for those in need.
Some residents have had parties where they asked the attendees to bring donations for FOTAS instead of hostess gifts.
The Cedar Creek Ladies Club, a group of about 100 residents, has donated large amounts of money to FOTAS we have honored them with a bench in their name at the new Shelter which we purchased from some of the funds they have donated.
You know, I wish I knew the number of County Shelter animals that the residents of this fine community have adopted.
This is a large number Im sure I often see them walking their dogs when I am walking mine, and enjoy their stories about how shelter pets have enriched their lives, become their best friends and make the best pets around!
So, I am celebrating what a great community I live in and what a great community brigade my Cedar Creek neighbors are. Thank you for all you do and have done for FOTAS and the County Shelter.
If you have a soft spot in your heart for our abandoned furry friends, please consider becoming a volunteer and supporter of FOTAS. We are especially in need of dog walkers right now. These beautiful souls cant wait for human contact and for a daily much-needed outside break from their shelter kennels.
Heres a great idea! Maybe you could rally your own neighbors and create a community brigade as well to help FOTAS and the Aiken County Animal Shelter. This work is rewarding, and youll make some new friends also.
For more information, call 803-514-4313 or email email@example.com
And last, but most important please adopt a wonderful animal from the County Shelter. Remember, their lives are in our hands.
FOTAS volunteers work with the Aiken County Animal Shelter, 333 Wire Road. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.fotasaiken.org.

Alas, James isn't going to have that kind of support when he performs at the Pabst Theater April 19. But with My Morning Jacket, he's an excellent showman - local MMJ shows made my favorite Milwaukee concerts list the past two years.

Tony Matelli talks about his process
If you look around, there's a sort of quiet, cosmic war going on all around us. You can see it in the cracks of a sidewalk, on attic junk and down the gradual sag of a face. It's our effort against the beat of time. And it seems to be what, at least in part, Tony Matelli is exploring in his sculptural work at the Green Gallery East.
From the outside of the exhibition space, it may seem like you missed the opening night by a few years. Dusty mirrors propped against walls bear the handprints and doodles of bygone humans. Walking up to them for a moment almost channels a quieting, humanistic experience of a cave drawing. And it is then the liminal space you just trounced in on begins to move into focus. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

|Bruins struggle on power play in loss to Sharks
|02.05.11 at 4:59 pm ET
On the Bruins' first power play of Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Sharks, Milan Lucic had a golden opportunity to tie the game up. A Zdeno Chara one-timer led to a rebound at the left side of the net and gave Lucic a brief look at an open cage. Unfortunately for the Bruins, Lucic's bid went wide right.
That was the closest the Bruins would get on the power play, as they ultimately finished the game 0-for-4 on the man advantage. Not only did they fail to get another great look on their final three power plays, but they struggled to even get set up in the offensive zone.
'Our power play tonight had a tough time,' said coach Claude Julien. 'Tonight was probably one of the tougher times we've had at getting the puck in. When we did get it in, we weren't winning those battles for loose pucks and they kept shooting it back down the ice. That was probably, to me, the biggest difference in tonight's game.'
The Bruins have now gone 0-for-12 on the power play over their last five games and 1-for-19 over their last seven. Julien said Saturday's problems with getting organized and maintaining possession don't really reflect how the power play has performed lately, though.
'I think the other night against Dallas, even though we didn't score, our power play was good,' Julien said. 'We moved the puck well and we had some chances and we didn't score. '¦ So we really felt our power play had taken a stride in the right direction. Tonight was a totally different case. We weren't good enough in that area. This is our best players having to be at their best.'
Julien credited the Sharks with doing a good job on the penalty kill, but he also said his players could've made better decisions with the puck to try and overcome that.
'They were here the other night watching us, obviously, and they made some adjustments with their PK,' Julien said. 'At the same time, we still have other options, and I don't think our guys always took the best options. Consequently, we weren't getting in clean.'
As much as the power play struggled, David Krejci said he liked some of the chances the Bruins generated on it in the first period. He also said he thinks it has looked pretty good lately despite the dearth of goals.
He pointed out that if Lucic's rebound bid had gone in instead of going wide, he probably wouldn't have to answer questions about the power play's struggles.
'If that goes in,' Krejci said, 'it would be a different game and we wouldn't be talking about how the power play was bad tonight.'
|David Krejci stuck with wrong sticks
|at 4:38 pm ET
David Krejci knows that after the B's were shut out Saturday, it's in his hands to keep the top line producing. Right now, he just doesn't like what's in his hands.
Krejci, who has a contract with Bauer, has been in a bit of an unusual spot over the last couple of games. An issue with manufacturing the stick he uses each night has left him using a stick he's had trouble getting a feel for.
"This stick sucks, and that's all I've got," Krejci, in his usual calm demeanor, said after Saturday's game. "You can put it up on TV or in the papers. I don't care. This stick sucks."
The irony in the situation, of course, is that Krejci is a happy user of Bauer and loves the stick that he usually plays with. The problem is that the factory that manufactures his stick, for whatever reason, will not be able to produce his model of choice again until Feb. 11, and as a result, he's left with the type he used to use earlier in his career.
"We ordered the sticks, my guy said they were coming [when] he ordered them," the center said. "The trainers called them again because they didn't come in the mail and they said, 'Oh yeah, we've closed the factory and we're going to open it up again. We're not making any sticks until Feb. 11,' so they sent me the sticks that I used to use a long time ago."
Krejci fell out of love with the stick when he used them earlier in his career, but it seems he'll have to get used to them over the next few games.
"That was the reason why I changed from those sticks to the new ones I'm using, because I don't like these ones," he said. "I changed them because I didn't like them anymore, but [now] it's the only thing I can have."
Krejci hasn't scored in 19 games, though he has five assists over his last six games. The center, who is accountable when it comes to his game, stressed that he wasn't talking about his own performance or suggesting that his unhappiness with the stick has hurt his play.
"I'm not making excuses for my game," Krejci said. "I just don't like that stick. That's all it is."
This isn't the first time a Bruins player has had a peculiar hangup regarding equipment. Blake Wheeler had issues with his skates last season before switching to CCM for this season.
|Only soreness for David Krejci after injury scare
|01.27.11 at 1:06 am ET
The Bruins aren't exactly in a position to lose a skill center. Given Marc Savard's latest concussion, the team can play the "been there, done that" card with regard to such a scenario.
That's why when David Krejci took a hit from Rostislav Olesz, crashed into the boards and remained down for a few minutes before leaving and making toward the tunnel in the first period, it was a clear-cut case of something the Bruins didn't need.
"When he first went down, the last thing you want to see is [him] not come back," coach Claude Julien said after the game. "We're already minus one pretty good centerman so you certainly don't want to lose that second one."
Yet Krejci, who appeared to be in shoulder pain while down on the ice, didn't end up missing a shift for the B's. He was back on the bench shortly after the play and knew he was good to go.
"It wasn't my shoulder, it was like my whole arm getting tweaked going for position and it was a little uncomfortable for a few seconds, so I stayed on the ice," Krejci said. "It got a little better so it's sore but obviously nothing major.
"I waited on the ice a long time and when I was skating off it felt a little better. I didn't know if it was the shoulder or something. But when I was skating off the ice I knew the shoulder was fine so I was pretty sure I would come back."
Krejci returned to make a huge play for the B's, winning the faceoff that set up Milan Lucic's second-period goal, the tally that proved to be the game-winner when all was said and done.
If any of the soreness lingers for Krejci, it couldn't come at a better time. Teams now break for All-Star weekend, and the center and most of his teammates will have the next five days to rest up.
"There's no doubt these next five days will be good for him and probably a lot of the other players too that are playing a little banged up," Julien said. "It is, I guess, a break that we needed. We certainly didn't need him going down and not getting him back."
|Milan Lucic adds to Bruins lead in second period
|01.26.11 at 8:37 pm ET
Milan Lucic is a 20-goal-scorer for the first time, and after two periods the Bruins lead the Panthers, 2-0.
David Krejci, who had an injury scare on the first period after crashing into the boards, made the second period memorable for a more positive reason. The pivot won a face-off clean in the Panthers zone and drew it back to Lucic, who scored on a snapshot at 1:52. Lucic's career-high for goals in a season was 17, which he scored in 2008-09, a season in which he played 72 games.
There were no penalties in the period, and through two the only penalty came in the form of a first-period high-sticking call on Panthers forward Christopher Higgins.
The shutout remains intact for Tim Thomas, with the B's outshooting the Panthers, 26-19.
NESN hockey analyst Mike Milbury made his weekly appearance on the Dale & Holley show Wednesday. To hear the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
Milbury gave his thoughts on the Marc Savard situation, after news broke Wednesday morning that Savard went home to Ontario to rest his head.
"With the two hits that he took recently, and now this reaction, I think long term is the way it's going to be," Milbury said. "Whether they do it officially or not is I guess another matter to discuss. Either way, they're going to have to handle this one very delicately. We all know the concussion thing is a huge concern these days and a huge topic of discussion in the NHL. So, I think the Bruins will handle this one very conservatively."
Milbury said people who want to remove the instigator penalty are barking up the wrong tree. "Does anybody really think that being able to go up and smack somebody in the head with his fist without the guy being ready is a really good thing for concussion prevention?" he said. "I just don't get it when I hear the argument about the instigator penalty. You want to fight somebody, who cares about the two minutes? Just take the two minutes. But you've got to leave the instigator penalty in, and we can stop talking about it, in my opinion."
When co-host Dale Arnold said he disagreed, Milbury deadpanned: "I know you disagree with me, but if I come up and smack you in the head, you might change your mind. And I'm likely to do it if you continue along this path."
Milbury was asked his opinion of David Krejci. "He doesn't look like he's reacting as quickly as he has in the past," Milbury said. "And I can't tell that this is the reason why, but listen, he had a severe concussion last year. It took Patrice Bergeron a full year and then some to come back from that. It takes a lot of guys a full year to come back from an injury. That could be it. His timing seems to be OK, his vision seems to be OK, but he just doesn't have that sharpness to his game that you like to see. But otherwise, it's the same Krejci. It's just the pace isn't where I think it's been at in the past."
Milbury also opined on Michael Ryder: "They signed him to be a goal-scorer. He's not. He's going to be a 20-plus goal-scorer. He's not a physical presence. He and [Blake] Wheeler are in the same boat, as far as I'm concerned. They put some effort into the game, I think there's more there."
As for Milan Lucic and his lack of physical play this season, Milbury said: "I firmly believe that if he doesn't bring that [physical] element to his game, he sells himself short and his team short. He was, as you remember, in his rookie year, changing games not with scoring lots of goals but with momentum-changing hits and an occasional fight. Those are almost as important as scoring goals. And he doesn't bring that that often anymore. I know he's being dinged up a little bit. '¦ I'd like to see it a whole lot more often. I'd like to see it from the Bruins in general more often."
|Three the magic number (again) for Bruins in win over Penguins
|01.10.11 at 10:06 pm ET
The Bruins once again proved a third-period terror against the Penguins, scoring four unanswered goals en route to a 4-2 victory at CONSOL Energy Center.
With the Penguins leading, 2-0, on second-period goals from Mike Rupp and Kris Letang, the B's scored four goals in the final 3:23 of regulation. Zdeno Chara and Brad Marchand got it started by scoring goals 12 seconds apart, while Mark Recchi potted the game-winner on the power play at 19:10 and Gregory Campbell sealed it with an empty netter.
The B's scored their first two power play goals in six games. Tuukka Rask made 23 saves on 25 shots in the victory.
– Did the Bruins watch so much tape of what the Habs did to them Saturday that they couldn't help but do the same thing? The B's didn't have to wait for overtime to get a huge road win. With their five-goal third period on Nov. 10, they have now scored nine third-period goals vs. the Penguins and allowed none.
– Chara's goal was his second in the last five games, clearly a good way to follow up his 23 games without a goal prior to last Saturday's game in Buffalo.
– Tyler Seguin and David Krejci haven't produced while skating on the same line the last two games, but the two seem to be a good fit. Seguin tied linemate Blake Wheeler with three shots, while Krejci set up the 18-year-old beautifully in the third period before Fleury robbed the rookie.
While Krejci and Wheeler obviously work well together and the Czech center's skill set is appropriate for a line with Seguin, Krejci had zero shots on goal for the second straight game. He has two goals over his last five contests.
– The Penguins' power play had been bad, but the B's didn't need to push the matter. The Bruins handed the Penguins five power plays, one of which Letang scored on to make it a two-goal game. Both teams entered the game with three power play goals over their last nine contests, and the B's gave Pittsburgh plenty of chances to improve the number, which the Penguins did.
– Pittsburgh native Matt Bartkowski was set to have a memorable NHL debut for the Bruins, but he ended up doing so for the wrong reasons. First, he was beaten by Mike Rupp in the second period on the Penguins' first goal. Bartkowski then took a hooking penalty with the Bruins playing from behind with less than 10 minutes remaining.
– Eleven games without a goal for Milan Lucic. The slumping winger followed his zero-shot performance by throwing three shots on Marc-Andre Fleury. As the Bruins continue to search from offensive consistency, they need a lot more from their leading scorer.
|Tuukka Rask gets first start since Dec. 15 as Bruins take on Sabres
|01.01.11 at 3:01 pm ET
Tuukka Rask will get his first start since Dec. 15th when the Bruins (20-11-5) take on the Sabres (15-18-4) in a New Years Day matchup at HSBC Arena.
Rask, who is 2-7-1 this season, hasn't been able to rack up the starts given Tim Thomas' success (1.74 goals against average, .947 save percentage), though that Dec. 15 start did come against the Sabres, a 3-2 loss.
– The Sabres are 8-10-1 at home and have had just two games at HSBC since hosting the Bruins last month. In those games they defeated the Ducks and fell to the Panthers.
– The B's are 11-5-2 in away games, most recently falling to the Thrashers Thursday in a shootout. They have been very successful so far on their current road trip, grabbing five of a possible six points. Buffalo is the second-to-last stop on the five-game road trip, as they will wrap it up Monday in Tortonto.
– Just one point — an assist Tuesday — for Nathan Horton over his last eight games. The top line of Lucic-Savard-Horton isn't showing up the stat sheet much, but they had a very encouraging showing against the Thrashers.
– David Krejci has four points — one goal and three assists — against the Sabres this season. Michael Ryder has a pair of goals and an assist vs. Buffalo. The two, along with Blake Wheeler, have made up the Bruins' best line of late. Given their individual success against the Sabres thus far, it will be interesting how they perform together, something they've done very well.
– Though Ryan Miller made 29 saves on 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Oilers, he hasn't been tearing it up of late. In his two previous starts, he allowed four and five goals to the Panthers and Flames, respectively. Miller is 13-12-3 on the season with a 2.62 goals against average and .911 save percentage.
– The new year has come and Rask is unbelievably making just his 10th start of the season (he played one his previous nine in relief of Thomas and took the loss vs. Washington, thus explaining his 10 decisions). Thomas had seven straight starts following the team's 3-2 loss to the Sabres with Rask in net, the longest streak for any Bruins goaltender this season.
Rask has not gotten back-to-back starts all season. With Thomas clearly this team's No. 1 goaltender, it will be interesting to see if a sound performance on Saturday gets the Finnish netminder another go on Monday vs. the Maple Leafs, who have lost five of their last six.
– The Sabres lost center Derek Roy during their 4-3 loss to the Panthers last Thursday. Roy took a hit from Panthers blueliner Dmitry Kulikov early in the game and is now done for the season with a torn quad tendon. In the Sabres' two games since losing Roy, who was leading the team in both goals (13) and assists (25), Buffalo has lost to Calgary and defeated Edmonton.

Stun gun is excessive forceJanuary 30,2013
In the newspaper article, Vt. AG rules trooper justified in stun gun death, it states that the trooper was justified in his actions towards the man because a person is allowed to use force for protection if they believe they are in immediate danger of bodily harm, meaning self-defense. Since Mr. Mason, the dead man, was not armed and was hit with the stun gun by the trooper after he moved toward the trooper, Mr. Mason must have been very dangerous.
I always thought that police were trained in restraining people who are out of control and then slapping the cuffs on them and hauling them off to the slammer. If necessary, police can smack these violent people over the head with a police baton like the riot police did to the Occupy Wall Street protesters or the Vietnam War protesters from the 1960s. Yes, their heads do bleed, but they live to see another day.
The stun gun that killed Mr. Mason is really the issue here, not the officers conduct. People die from stun guns, so why are they still in use? Police need to restrain violent suspects, not stun gun them to death.

How much time do I have to do it in? A week. I need 10 days. It's my game. You only get a week. What are you gonna do with it, Donny? Okay. I'd sing at Radio City Music Hall. Five shows a day, my own spot. In the audience are 5,000 screaming, gorgeous girls, and every one of them wants me. And there's one man... the president of Decca Records... and he wants to give me a big contract, and I have to make a choice. Take the record contract. I would take the record contract. Yeah, right. Right, I'd take the record contract. Ha! Moron! He could've humped 5,000 girls, and now he's got a record contract that ain't worth shit! Wrong, because now I'm a big star, and everyone knows that stars get all the girls they want. Oh, yeah? How? You're dead! Girls don't go out with dead record stars! Hey, bullshit! It's my fantasy! I can do whatever I want with it! What's my score, Gene? Well, you started off with an A-minus, but you ended up with a "B." "B." That's better than I ever did in school. Selridge is next. Okay, okay, here we go. I make it with seven of the richest women in the world. And I'm so hot, each one of'em gives me a million bucks. So at the end of the week, I got seven million bucks.

I got you all beat! Moronic. It's beyond moronic. It's submoronic. Yeah. Go ahead, Jerome. Break their hearts and tell 'em my score. It lacks poetry. I give Selridge a B-minus. B minus? You give me a B-minus? This creep becomes a dead record star, and he gets a "B." I want my money back! Touch that money, and you're dead.
