Parents who decide to rip out the carpeting or buy a humidifier to relieve their child's asthmatic symptoms may be doing the wrong thing. Many of the changes parents make at home for their asthmatic kids are ineffective and may even be detrimental to their kids' health, a new survey found.
The University of Michigan study, published in the August issue of the Journal of Allergy and Immunology, found that only half of the 1,788 asthma-proofing steps taken by parents were likely to work.
The other half were unproven, not likely to treat the child's specific asthma triggers or, in a handful of cases, potentially harmful.
Part of the problem, said principal investigator Dr. Michael Cabana, is that parents seem to be getting mixed messages about the appropriate treatment for their child's specific asthma triggers.
What many people don't understand, said Dr. Toby Lewis, a co-investigator and pediatric pulmonologist, is that the environmental factors that trigger asthmatic reactions are different for every child. In three children, for example, the same asthma symptoms could be set off by such varied factors as dust mites, cold weather or heavy perfume.

Edward S. McCabe, 97, of Merion, a physician in Philadelphia, died Sunday, June 1, of congestive heart failure at home.
Born in Lock Haven, Pa., he earned a bachelor of science degree at the University of Notre Dame. While there, he lettered in golf, won an intercollegiate championship, and played with the leading golfers of the day in the 1938 Hershey Open.
He went on to earn a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. A regimental surgeon serving in Europe during World War II, he returned stateside to serve a residency in internal medicine at Philadelphia General Hospital.
During his appointment as a fellow at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute in New York City, he met Mary Patricia Nichols, who was working at the institute as a biochemist. They were married in 1952 in New York City and settled in Merion.

3132 Tasting Notes
Yum – this one is fairly tasty, all nutty and fruity. I do wish there was a bit more raspberry, though, since it's not quite jammy enough for me. Good base selection though, definitely; enough body for the flavourings but light enough not to mask them, and the lovely oolong aftertaste. Kind of want a bit more of this one, but it's not quite in the same category as the Nutmeg-Dusted Custard.
AGH. I knew I should have grabbed more of this! Those of you who split this tea order… let me tell you that it's all I can do to not totally disappear from the world with your couple ounces of this (ok ok, kidding, but seriously, it is SO good.)
Maybe my original Nutmeg Cream lost something by being in a baggie (though I did try it when I first got it, too), but this version blows it out of the water for me. And I can definitely tell that it's the eggnog flavouring here, which actually makes it even tastier – if this is what the Creamy Eggnog blend tastes like with the nutmeg, I am also kicking myself for not ordering more of that, haha. Anyhow, perfect creamy eggnog flavouring, perfect amount of nutmeg, perfect base tea with just enough flavour and no astringency. This could actually replace eggnog for me, it is that good.
@Kittenna, I didn't order this one, but I'm excited to get the ones I didn't order (and see you) at Christmas! It's hard being patient to try yummy things :P
OMG VariaTea… I can't even believe how good it was. I'll have to see if cup #2 lives up to the first taste, but I don't think it can fail.
Roswell Strange – I totally understand! Also, if you're working Boxing Day somewhere, perhaps I can swing by with your teas just so that you can have them ASAP :D And then we can have a proper meetup after the 28th.
Thanks to OMGsrsly for letting me sample a cup of this tea before sending it west. I wasn't a big fan of the original tamarind blend, but it was mostly because I found it a bit too astringent, while the flavouring was too weak (though what I could taste, I did enjoy). This derivation, however, is pretty darn delicious! Sweet tamarind (I probably wouldn't personally recognize it as tamarind though, since there's no sourness, so it's more of a sweet fruitiness), plus the honeyed notes of gui fei, with an oolong aftertaste. Really, really good, and honestly, I think the Gui Fei is a perfect complement to the tamarind flavouring, so great choice OMGsrsly!
(Also, this tea is still going strong and I'm on either the third or fourth infusion, I'm not sure. And I intend to have at least one more.)
I agree, I think this version is much better. I was thinking a green oolong or white tea would work but would have never thought of using the Gui Fei. That was a really good choice.
Yeah – the sweetness of the base works incredibly well with the flavouring. And such great flavouring too, because on infusion #4 (or 5, IDK), I could still taste tamarind, since I know what Gui Fei tastes like in later infusions.
Thanks to VariaTea for letting me snag a cup of this before passing it on! I assumed it would be more or less like Raspberry Truffle, and I think I was about correct. There was a bit of a bakey flavour (presumably waffle), with a bit of raspberry (not as strong as Red Queen Cupcake, but more like Raspberry Truffle), and the base was fairly mild – a divergence from RT in which I found the base rather strong.
Overall, meh. I knew this wasn't a tea for me, and I'm glad I didn't get my own. It's not bad, but not overly special to my tastebuds.
Sipdown! 980. (Possibly 979 actually, because it seems I had 3 entries for this, and I believe I have finished off two now).
Anyways, yes, this is of course just a sipdown of the old stuff. Which is definitely not as good as the new stuff, meaning that I'm making a mental note to try and purchase this more frequently, instead of larger quantities at one time. Still good of course, though. But not as chocolatey, nuanced, or delicious.
How much of this do you think you've gone through by now? I'll admit I got a little tired of it after I got through my 2 oz. pouch.
I'm honestly not sure, because my spreadsheet is giving me conflicting info, and my memory is going (haha). I believe I may have actually only gone through 4 oz., since I can only find one order for 2 oz. and I think one was part of a joint order. I love it, though, and could probably drink it daily if I didn't have so much other stuff. The profile just hits all the right tastebuds :D
Meh. Not bad, but not as decadent as I'd like a 'red velvet' tea to taste. It mostly just tastes like a strawberry rooibos. Definite plus, though – no nasty rooibos flavour, although there is a tinge of medicinal-ness about it (but not the characteristic rooibos medicinal, more like a flavouring aspect that's coming off strangely to me.)
Wow does this ever brew up dark, and taste like coffee. I shouldn't be surprised though, because the other version of it that I've tried had a similar flavour. Although this is quite drinkable straight, since it's not astringent like coffee, I think it would be much better made into a latte… so I may do that either with this mug, or with the re-steep. Glad this was a 3-way split, because I prefer the honey version of this I've had previously.
(Fast-forward about an hour, during which time I failed to actually post this note.)
Ended up adding some skim milk and maple syrup to this, and the result is super yum. It's just so strongly flavoured, lattes make a lot of sense.
I'm expecting not to like this one because apparently it has "pepper" flavour. We shall see. (Odds are low anyhow, since it's an herbal blend with 989725353 zillion ingredients, all of which I hate. Haha.) Also, thanks to Janelle for letting me sample all these weird herbals I'd never buy otherwise!
Brewed up, the aroma is… minty? With a bit of weird, and maybe some cinnamon. (IDK what "weird" is. Herbally-weird-ingredient.) It actually reminds me a little of… uh…. that green from Verdant with all the coriander, that tastes like gingerbread… ah! Laoshan Apothecary Green. I had to look it up. And the flavour? Actually surprisingly, not bad. I can taste the fennel, both on the sip and as a lingering sweetness in the aftertaste, but it's not so potent as to make me gaggy. And the rest really does remind me of that Verdant blend. I mean, I would never buy this over that one (especially since there is the possibility that this blend has lost some flavour, making it more palatable for me), but it's surprisingly drinkable. Better than All The Raj, that's for sure. I can feel a bit of heat in the background, now that I've had a few sips – seems like it's something that builds. I can handle that; there's no overt roasted pepper flavour, which I so detest.
Overall, shockingly not a hater of this tea. The fennel is actually at a great level here to provide throat-soothing, and the rest of the tea is reasonably pleasant.

Wisconsin Energy deal light on controversy
Acquisition lacks the type of concerns that caused regulators in other areas to balk
When considering merger applications from utilities, state regulators often require that customers receive something in return, such as a rate credit or rate freeze.
That was the case in the early 2000s when Wisconsin Energy bought Wisconsin Gas Co., and in 1998 when Madison utility Wisconsin Power and Light Co. merged with two Iowa utilities to create Alliant Energy Corp. The state Public Service Commission conditioned the approvals on a five-year qualified rate freeze for the Milwaukee acquisition, and a four-year rate freeze for Wisconsin customers of Alliant.
Yet no such considerations are being proposed by Wisconsin Energy Corp. in its $9.1 billion acquisition of Integrys Energy Group Inc., announced Monday. Their utilities, We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service Corp., each have rate increases pending before state regulators this year.
"We're not merging the utilities here, this is an acquisition by one holding company of another holding company," said Wisconsin Energy spokesman Brian Manthey. Each utility will have to justify its rate increase requests before state regulators, he said.
Wisconsin Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Gale Klappa said Monday that the acquisition is about growth, using Wisconsin Energy's strong cash flow to help fund investments to expand energy infrastructure — projects both utilities have on the drawing board.
In the case of Integrys, that includes a major project to upgrade the natural gas system in Chicago, the addition of pollution controls at its Wausau-area coal plant and enhanced reliability of the power grid in far northern Wisconsin.
Analysts and other utility industry watchers say state regulators remain the key hurdle to any merger. They can rattle off a list of deals around the country that did not go forward because regulators balked.
The deal involving two Wisconsin utilities doesn't seem as controversial as those in other states, said analyst Paul Patterson at Glenrock Associates in New York.
Mergers that fail often involved utilities in states that were experiencing price run-ups that occurred after opening up the utility market to competition, he said. In this case, the merger is bringing together two companies that specialize in the traditional regulated utility business model, Patterson said.
The regulatory process "is not something they take lightly, but this deal does not seem to be a particularly controversial situation," said Patterson. "These guys have been down this road before. I don't see it as being particularly onerous."
In a research note analyzing the acquisition, analyst David Parker at Robert W. Baird & Co. said there was a high likelihood that the deal would be approved. But he cautioned that mergers can result in more volatility in the stock prices of the utilities involved, and that earnings performance can be "materially impacted by final regulatory outcomes and/or execution of the company merger process."
"The main focus for the Public Service Commission will be if this merger is in the public interest," said Nathan Conrad of the Wisconsin PSC. The commission will look at the "impact on rates and ratepayers, impacts on retail service quality, impacts on competition, and impacts on financial stability."
One key challenge could come in Illinois, where the deal would mean the loss of a corporate headquarters for Chicago. WPS Resources agreed to move its headquarters to Chicago from Green Bay when it completed its acquisition of Chicago-based Peoples Energy Corp. in 2007.
An Illinois utility watchdog group said it will advocate for Chicago natural gas customers in the Wisconsin Energy-Integrys transaction, saying it "wants to make sure any deal does not spark more frequent rate hikes."
Common concerns for utility mergers include market power and the prospect of achieving savings by combining companies.
Another major bid to consolidate utility assets — Wisconsin Energy's proposed merger with Minnesota-based Northern States Power Co. — collapsed in the 1990s over concerns the combined company would have an unfair advantage in the regional electric market.
But today's utility world is different, Klappa said.
Since the failed merger, he said, the industry has added a mechanism known as an independent system operator, which ensures all parties have equal access to power.
Today, that system operator, based in Indiana, makes the call on which utility power plants are running at any given time — a job formerly left with the power companies themselves.
There could be concerns raised in Wisconsin about the impact on ownership of American Transmission Co., the Pewaukee-based company that owns, operates and builds high-voltage transmission lines in eastern Wisconsin and other states.
As a result of the combination, Wisconsin Energy is buying the largest shareholder of ATC and the combined company, WEC Energy Group, would own 60% of it.
In a move to address concerns about market power, Wisconsin Energy is proposing a change in how ATC would be governed — that it be allowed to vote just Integrys' shares in matters before ATC. Other utilities, such as those headquartered in Madison, would be given the ability to cast the votes for the We Energies ownership stake in ATC.
Utilities announcing acquisitions often tout the value of "synergy savings" that they expect to achieve by eliminating duplicative functions and cutting staff.
In this acquisition, there is no dollar target for synergy savings, and no layoffs are planned at this time, except for some senior management positions that would be eliminated.
"We're confident we'll find operating efficiencies as we go along, but we haven't attempted to put a number on that," Wisconsin Energy said in a filing with securities regulators. "The proposed transaction makes sense on its own."
Todd Stuart, executive director of a group that represents more than 30 large and energy-intensive factories, said his group will take a close look at the deal once the application is filed.
The Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group "will be working closely with the regulators and the two utilities to make sure the proposed acquisition makes financial sense for the state's power consumers," said Stuart, noting that some of his members' electric bills top $1 million per month.
"We need to ensure our competitive position significantly improves from this deal."
Lee Bergquist of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

We're away until January 4, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2015. Please enjoy, and have a happy New Year!
Being the last man on Earth.
On a recent Sunday evening, trying to relax, I turned on the television and saw an ad for a new comedy series called The Last Man on Earth. It wasn't clear how everyone else had died.
I had learned what I needed to know, or had remembered it: television does not relax me. I turned the television off, took an Ativan, and listened to The Teddy Charles Tentet, a terrific jazz record.
Phil Miller is the last man on earth—which makes him the world's greatest handyman—world's greatest athlete—[etc.]
The last man on earth.
But of course one is not the Last Man on Earth. There are other people, equal claimants to the Earth. It can be vexing to share it with them. Read More >>
My Mother Taught Me
February 18, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A poet's misadventures in erotica.
I've written prose. I've written several novels that no one has seen. Well, one was published.
My Mother Taught Me, an erotic novel, wasn't it?
It's about sexuality. You have to understand, people were writing sex books but no one was writing them well. I thought pornography should be as much of a genre as cowboy stories. But pornography is boring. Childish. Unhealthy. I thought, Why not have a novel of sexuality that's not paralyzed by the need for orgasm? So I wrote a good pornographic novel to show it could be done. An enjoyment rather than a momentary excitement. There were so many pornographic novels written; why weren't they effective? A momentary spasm. Some people will have an orgasm if you say a dirty word or say, What he did to her body was . . . But what if you approach it as a real novel? The idea of entertainment intrigued me at the time—so I wrote one.
—The Art of Poetry No. 91, 2005
Jack Gilbert, who would've been ninety today, actually published two erotic novels: My Mother Taught Me and Forever Ecstasy, both coauthored with Jean Maclean and published under the opaque nom de porn Tor Kung. Olympia Press, a short-lived purveyor of smut and other wonders, foisted both titles upon the unsuspecting public, and in time they became the most requested books in the publisher's oeuvre.
The premise of My Mother Taught Me, which appeared in 1967, is absurd, even farcical—and in its outlandishness, it seems designed to effect what Gilbert called "an enjoyment rather than a momentary excitement." But what kind of enjoyment? Our hero is Lars, a naive Swedish schoolboy who was raised in an all-male orphanage. The place was so strict, so straitlaced, that Lars in his nonage had never so much as laid eyes on a woman—not even a photograph of a woman. Read More »

Foreclosed homes as haunted houses.
My wife and I began searching for a house in 2008, just as the market was crashing, just as those first waves of foreclosed homes and short sales were hitting the market. Priced out of Los Angeles real estate for so long, we were finally able to afford houses whose prices had been ridiculously inflated only six months earlier. Occasionally we went to those open houses with smiling realtors and bowls of candy set out, where owners had recently landscaped or repainted to enhance value, but we could never seriously consider any of these. The homes that mattered had lock boxes, were abandoned or in the process of being abandoned—the ones that reeked of disrepair and despair.
We spent the summer touring nearly every distressed property in the neighborhoods East of Hollywood: Los Feliz, Silverlake, Echo Park, and Atwater Village—every abandoned or half-abandoned monstrosity and beloved ruin, looking for a home. I still have a hard time articulating the sense of dread and fascination those houses stirred in me. The feeling of moving through these spaces—particularly as we were visiting seven or eight of them in an afternoon—was indescribable. A sense of wrongness pervaded so many of these homes. I'm not superstitious—I don't believe in spirits or forces or haunted houses—but much of our lexicon in these cases depends on notions of the supernatural; in the end, the only word that seems useful for talking about the houses is unheimlich—a German word, literally "unhomely" or "not of the home," "unfamiliar." It's more idiomatically translated as "uncanny": a word that Freud plucked and repurposed from the realm of the supernatural. Read More >>
Poems as Animals, and Other News
September 25, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- "I suppose I've read more dirty books than any man in New England, and I could make the biggest collection of erotica in this country if I wanted to." An interview from 1930 with the censor for all of New England.
- Christopher King, whose essay about Alexis Zoumbas appeared here on Monday, has a cameo in the Times Magazine: "King had invited me to visit him at his home in Faber, Virginia, where he keeps his own massive collection of 78 r.p.m. records, decaying discs that could only be experienced there, in person. He asked me what I might like to hear, and when I hesitated, he suggested Zoumbas … in Epirus, King said, these songs live and die in the looks and handshakes and embraces exchanged in their presence."
- When Freud, who died seventy-five years ago, was diagnosed with a very malignant form of cancer, he said he wanted to "disappear from the world with dignity," which meant enlisting his doctor, Max Schur, to euthanize him. "All this was said without a trace of emotionality or self‑pity, and with full consciousness of reality."
- "Ted Hughes didn't just write a lot of poems about animals—about pikes and jaguars and thought-foxes. He thought of poems as animals. 'They have their own life,' he wrote in an essay in 1967, ' … and nothing can be added to them or taken away without maiming and perhaps even killing them.' "
- An Arizona law against "revenge porn" has the state's booksellers concerned: it "could be applied to any person who distributes or displays an image of nudity—including pictures that are newsworthy, artistic, educational, or historic—without the depicted person's consent, even images for which consent was impossible to obtain or is difficult to prove … 'There are books on my shelves right now that might be illegal to sell under this law. How am I supposed to know whether the subjects of these photos gave their permission?' "
Snub Your Suitors the Brontë Way, and Other News
May 2, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Need to reject a marriage proposal or two? Take a page from Charlotte Brontë's book. Here's what she wrote to Henry Nussey, a Sussex curate, in March 1839: "Do not therefore accuse me of wrong motives when I say that my answer to your proposal must be a decided negative … I have no personal repugnance to the idea of a union with you—but … you do not know me, I am not this serious, grave, cool-headed individual you suppose."
- Just when you thought it'd been a while since anyone asserted the death of the novel, here's Will Self, asserting the death of the novel. "This time it's for real," the headline notes.
- What do conductors do? Divining the art of hand-flapping: "One problem some conductors encountered is what a conducting friend of mine calls the 'Grecian Urn' syndrome. This is where the left hand mimics the right hand exactly, tracing the outline of an antique urn. It's more picturesque than the 'dead hand' syndrome, where the left hand hangs limply, but just as useless."
- New research suggests that Freud was right all along: our dreams are fueled by sex. "I vividly recall the day in the late 1970s when I realized that dreams and their unconscious sexual meaning were part of a larger whole … I and another orderly were given the task of delousing, showering and cleaning up an old alcoholic who had been picked up off the streets for a drying-out period … All of a sudden this emaciated, brittle old man jumped up, stared straight at us revealing a full erection and then lifted a massive metal table over his head, threw it against the wall and began wailing in ever louder sing-song tones a string of sexual expletives that left me and my colleague terrified that the man was crumbling, psychically, before our eyes."
- Inflammatory bowel disease "is fast becoming resistant to every antibiotic thrown at it." But there is a kind of miracle cure: a fecal transplant. "Some doctors have likened the recoveries of desperately ill patients to those seen with anti-HIV protease inhibitors in the mid-1990s … Yet few other interventions elicit such disgust, revulsion and ridicule … What's behind this knee-jerk aversion? Perhaps, as one epidemiologist believes, it's the voice of our evolutionary ancestors, warning us away from a major source of parasites and other pathogens. Perhaps, says another researcher, it's the fading of an agrarian life that equated manure with opportunity, whose cultural influence is now drowned out by public health warnings of diarrhea-borne epidemics in towns and cities. With the last lines of antibiotic defense beginning to crumble, however, getting past the cognitive dissonance of healthy poo as powerful curative could be a matter of life or death for tens of thousands of patients."

I have been contacted by sales at FXCM several times to sign up. I reviewed their service on the forums. From what I have read the customer service is not good, but the platform is OK. So, I decided to give them a try.
I have been trying to start an account with FXCM since Thursday (4 days now). On Thursday night, I contacted the customer service via chat. I chatted with Shalom. He told me he was busy chatting with other customers and could not answer my questions, but he did send me the sign up information. He told me the process would take 2-3 days.
On Friday I tried to sign up, but their servers were down until Sunday night. I paid $2,000 USD on my credit card. My bank sent me confirmation that this amount was paid. I submitted my ID and Proof of Residence.
Then on Sunday night I receive an email from FXCM that my credit card could not be processed, because I didn't fill out the application? The servers are online now (Monday morning), I fill out the application, and when I am asked for my Country of Residence, the United States is not available as a possible selection! So , I select the next closest country - The United Kingdom. Now, I am receiving emails for FXCM UK.
My sales rep, William Stamps, assures me he will have me up an running for trading Monday morning. So far four days of headaches and no opportunity to trade.
Jason Rogers at FXCM, I tried to email you directly. But, I am a newbie with less than 20 posts, so I cant send emails through this Forum at this time.

The short version, my latest project Bar Dykes is now available online via Pegacorn Press.
The longer version begins with a nearly 20 year friendship with my collaborator Caroline Paquita of Pegacorn Press. Our intertwined histories are both rooted in underground DIY culture and a continuation of that lifestyle into our adult creative lives. I met Merril Mushroom, author of the play Bar Dykes this past year when I made the leap and moved to rural middle Tennessee. Merril and I started spending a lot of time together and over coffee one day Merril brought out a copy of her unpublished play Bar Dykes. A period piece about dyke bar culture in the 50s written in the early 80s, I recognized the significant importance of the play and also how Merril's personal story is intimately connected to the work and had the idea to republish the piece with an accompanying interview. I made the connection to Pegacorn Press after seeing one of Caroline's infamous calendars hanging in Merril's house and realized they were already friends and fans of one another's work. When I reached out to Caroline about publishing Bar Dykes along with an interview with Merril, she was instantly on board. A wonderful example of a synchronous trifecta and extended community.
I just celebrated my year anniversary of making the leap to live in rural community. I was drawn to this area of Tennessee because of the 35+ year history of radical queer's who have made this area home in various forms of intentional communities, land projects, communes, and houses. I came here, like many others, for a combination of reasons; to heal, to slow down and to have space to breath. My experience "out here" has been life altering. Meeting Merril is a large part of that because I've never had the opportunity to share space with an queer elder who's inspired me so deeply.
This publication is an affirmation that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. It's a personal reminder that the world is small and our actions resonate outward. A theme that has resonated throughout my career as a curator, author and filmmaker is connecting people and generating community through access to information. I want my actions to inspire, educate and empower those around me. My hopes are this zine is a now a part of this lineage.

To the Editor.—
In the article on Haemophilus influenzae resistance to ampicillin by Khan et al (229:298, 1974), I cannot understand why, after a careful study such as theirs, the authors still recommend ampicillin as the drug of first choice in treatment of H influenzae meningitis. Their recommendation to continue performing lumbar punctures daily for two or three days after admission and employing indices such as smears, cultures, blood cell count, enzyme studies, and clinical response to ampicillin, in addition to sensitivity test results by tube dilution methods, seems unreasonable and impossible for physicians out of ivory tower locations.Is ampicillin a "sacred cow"? Why should we agonize through days of therapy for a serious disease, to wonder whether the treatment will be effective or not? Haemophilus influenzae meningitis response to chloramphenicol has always been smoother and more prompt. The potential toxicity of chloramphenicol, for some reason, has never surfaced

Lady Pios, Rayne square in tiebreaker game
By Chris Quebedeaux
CROWLEY – They have squared off twice this season with each team earning a shutout victory on their respective home fields.
Today in the rubber match, the Notre Dame Lady Pios and the Rayne Lady Wolves will battle at a neutral site - Hensgens Field on the grounds of the Crowley Recreation Department - to break the tie for first place in District 5-AAA.
"For our girls, this game means a lot because they feel like they've earned this shot be called a district champion," said Notre Dame coach Lance Reed. "From a coaching standpoint, I'm looking at it as something to keep our positive momentum rolling into the playoffs."
Rayne (19-8, 7-1) gained the upper hand in league play with a 3-0 victory over the Lady Pios back on March 18 at the Lady Wolves' home field.
Notre Dame (16-12, 7-1) turned the tables on April 3, downing the Lady Wolves 5-0 at Fats Leger Field.
"I think today's game is wide open for either team," said Reed. "Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning the game. It's just going to come down to who shows up that day. If we show up and play our game, we should do well. If Rayne shows up and plays their game, it will be a very good game."
Notre Dame has had the pitching edge in both regular season games. Lady Pio hurler Amelia Lavergne pitched five innings in the loss, allowing just two hits before giving up just three base knocks in the victory.
"This game could come down to a pitchers' duel because both teams have good respectable pitchers that are into their second year and beyond in the circle," said Reed. "I'm leaning towards throwing Amelia again. The key will be our defense. We have to make the plays behind her. Execution will be critical for both teams."
Thus far in district play, each team has been shut out just once - against each other - while posting big numbers in the other contests.
Notre Dame has outscored its opponents 85-8 in eight games while Rayne has outscored its opponents 77-10.
"Both teams have good, quality hitters," said Reed. We both have hitters who are capable of hitting it out the yard and we both have players who can lay down bunts and beat them out. Both teams are pretty similar. Again, it's going to be who shows up and gets the job done."

Palo Duro, those comeback kids, wrote the final chapter to the comeback story of the area football season Friday.
PD 58, Pampa 34
Records: Palo Duro is 3-7 overall, 3-2 in District 3-4A. Pampa finishes 2-8, 0-5.
Impact: Palo Duro earns a playoff berth after starting 0-7.
Key Stat: The Dons rush for 426 yards and score eight touchdowns.
Palo Duro refused to let an 0-7 start destroy its season, rallying for three straight wins and earning a trip to the playoffs. The Dons put icing on the comeback with a 58-34 pounding of Pampa in District 3-4A action before 2,000 fans in Dick Bivins Stadium.
"These kids are amazing," veteran Palo Duro coach Steve Parr said. "I'm very proud. They have come through a lot of adversity and believed in themselves and hung in there. The Dons getting back in the playoffs is a big deal for us."
The Dons unleashed big plays and 426 rushing yards, putting an end to the back-and-forth game midway through the third quarter by scoring 31 unanswered points.
Those points turned a 27-24 deficit into a 58-27 lead when backup running back Vaughn Johnson scored from 28 yards out with 5:38 left.
Palo Duro, which finished district at 3-2, will meet state-ranked Wolfforth Frenship in the Class 4A Division I bidistrict round at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Dick Bivins Stadium. Had the Dons lost to Pampa (2-8 overall, 0-5 in 3-4A), Caprock would have been in the playoffs. Caprock is coached by Parr's son, Seth, and was bidding to end a playoff drought since 1975.
PD topped its largest point total of the year by 31 points.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Dons rolled off 24 points in the second quarter, then broke away in the third quarter when Brian Wayne's interception led to a quick drive capped by a 1-yard Jerry Hill touchdown run. That made it 38-27 with 3:21 remaining in the third.
"The interception was huge and took the momentum away," Parr said. "And we were able to get our running game going. The o-line did a great job.''
Palo Duro running backs Michael Riles and Dartel Lewis combined for 298 yards and four touchdowns.
Riles, a senior, ran for a game-high 150 yards and scored on runs of 42 and 4 yards, while Lewis, a junior, gained 141 yards and scored from 45 and 5 yards out.
"We just came out and everybody got on the right track and played hard," Lewis said. "We stayed focused all year. After going 0-7, we were just tired of losing - just tired of losing."
Pampa showed no signs of handing this one over without a tussle. While the Dons were gaining yards on the ground, Pampa's air attack totaled 302 yards from junior quarterback Alex Clendening. Clendening threw five touchdown passes, completing 26-of-45.
Pampa took its first lead, 27-24, with 9:10 to play in the third quarter when Clendening found Jeremy Maxwell over the middle from 17 yards out. Maxwell made a sliding catch and finished with 10 catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns.
But PD answered.
"When we came out in the second half, we told each other we weren't losing," Lewis said. "Our o-line was the best I have ever seen.
"How do I explain going from 0-7 to the playoffs? It's unexplainable. It's Palo Duro."

Mondays in Manhattan are frenetic. You could use the energy on the streets to power most cities. Instead, we took the collective energies of smart people from across the nation to continue the conversation of NBC's Education Nation 2011 Summit – day two.
Today, we moved the conversation into the high gear and kicked off the morning with one of the greatest storytellers of any generation—Tom Brokaw. Brokaw, in his statesman-like manner, set the stage and our agenda of the day. He reminded the audience online and under the tent about the fourth graders that are in our nation's classrooms now. Those very fourth graders are the graduating class of 2020. Yet, the most often used statistic of the fourth grade is that reading scores are predictive of graduation rates. Today, NBC Education Nation introduced new evidence that highlights that the first hour to 2000 days of life are equally, if not more predictive.
My Baby Can Read!
Researchers from across the country presented their findings on how our brains are wired for learning from birth. In fact, within the first moments of life—less than hour after birth; a baby's brain is ready to connect socially and develop their communication ability.
Read the story on Baby Brains and Early Learning educationnation.com.
The researchers went on to share that the first 2000 days of a child's life are the most critical to developing the synaptic pathways in their brains for learning and cognitive development. Well—I know what you are thinking…2000 days—what is that? Essentially, if a parent waits until their child is five years old or in kindergarten to begin their cognitive development, they would have the lost the equivalent of two years of growth.
These findings have serious consequences for parenting, family planning, and early childhood education. Long before students take high stakes tests in the third and fourth grade, the cognitive development from birth to school is critical. For students in poverty, research indicates that additional stress is toxic to cognitive development for these children. Early childhood education budgets have been cut across the country, so the conversation moved to state leaders to talk about the future of our youngest citizens.
Ten Education Governors
Americans may be unaware of how often state governors get together to talk about education. Outside of the National Governor's Association annual meetings, it almost never happens. So to have ten governors from both sides of the aisle here to talk about education reform was a civic treat.
My most significant takeaway from listening to our governor's is simple—each state is doing their own thing for education. Education, like politics, is a local game. The needs of Alaskan students are different from Maine students. The needs of Oklahoma students are different from Maryland students. The resources and industries in each state are different. Notwithstanding, there has to be more opportunity to take solutions to national scale. As we work our way through this slow economy, states need to leverage the research, development, decisions, and lessons learned of their peers.
An audience member asked if the governors could collaborate more. None of the governors could speak to how or where they were actually collaborating now. That is a tremendous opportunity.
A Night at the Museum
We concluded our day with a night at the American Museum of Natural History to discuss jobs and the workforce. First, the museum is incredible and I encourage you to take your students or family. It was my first visit to the museum, so I split my time between learning and mingling. Besides, my daughter loves stories and I had better have some good ones to share for the time I spend away from her. That is part of my job…but let us get back to the jobs conversation.
We had a panel of chief executives of industry meet with Tom Brokaw to talk about the state of affairs on the jobs front and education's role. The most provocative comment was that only 1 in 4 Americans are eligible for military service without a waiver. And that number is shrinking. Who are these Americans? They are citizens ages 17-24. Our nation's military pulls from the same pool as our nation's corporations to recruit and hire talent.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan expressed that education is the civil rights issue of our time. He went further to say that since Brown v Board of Education, we have not made the progress we should have made in our schools for our students. Our education challenges are contributing to the 3 million plus jobs that remain unfilled. And now our education challenges—among others—are contributing to the future integrity of our national security. Do you sense the urgency for change yet?
The purpose of the jobs panel was not to recap how bad things are out there. In fact, the true goal was to acknowledge that these challenges run deep and have been eroding our citizenry for a decades. Solving these problems will take a significant amount of collaboration. Families, teachers, policymakers, governors, unions, and the private-sector all need to participate and collaborate to address our number one national issue.
From the moment a child is born, we have an obligation to prepare them to learn and to become a productive citizen. Our children simply do not have a minute to waste on continuing with the status quo.

NEW YORK (AP) - A Brazilian man staying at the opulent Waldorf-Astoria Hotel while on a gambling junket at Atlantic City was slashed to death in his room, police said Sunday.
Joao Saboia, 56, left the casinos Friday with $50,000, police sources said in Sunday's edition of the New York Post. Investigators found $1,300 in the room, the paper said.
Saboia's body was found in his hotel room late Saturday. He had been slashed in the throat.
The body was found after Saboia failed to rendezvous with his companions for a return trip to Atlantic City and did not answer his door or phone, the paper said.
The Waldorf-Astoria and the adjoining Waldorf Towers have been New York's premier hotel address for more than a half-century. Longtime residential guests included former President Herbert Hoover and World War II hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
President Bill Clinton often stays there on New York visits.

Living right near downtown and all these other cities makes everything extremely easy to access and have. It would be nice to have cheaper options near campus, but it's also good that it is at a distance because it helps with maintaining a healthier diet.

Seattle Pacific isn't in a prime location for an easy bite when you step off campus; there are only a few choices within walking distance. If you're feeling ambitious and don't mind a longer jaunt, Fremont is within range. The best option would be to hop on a bus or drive a short distance to access infinite opportunities for great grub. Seattle has every genre of cuisine (including vegetarian options), but, by far, Seattle has the most variety in the category of Asian food. You will never be more than five minutes away from restaurants that serve pad Thai, Sushi, or pho.
There are also many restaurants on the waterfront Downtown that serve excellent seafood, like Ivar's Salmon House or Cutter's, but these places tend to be a bit pricey, even if they are deserving. These spots may be better for when your parents come to visit and foot the bill. One of the great things about Seattle is that often atmosphere is considered just as important to a meal as the food. Some of the best advocates of that partnership include Mama's Mexican Kitchen Downtown, Mamma Melina's Italian restaurant in the University District, and the B & O Expresso in Capitol Hill.

PABA Makes Dubious Call in Teerachai's Latest Bout
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
The Pan Asian Boxing Association, an adjunct of the World Boxing Association, has added another dubious decision to the growing list of similar decisions in the past, when it approved a welterweight title defense of undefeated super champion Teerachai Kratingdaenggym of Thailand against Australia's Ashley Sean Byrne who, according to boxrec.com was making his professional debut in a Galaxy Boxing Promotions card in Bangkok.
Teerachai is ranked No. 12 in the world by the WBA and had a record of 20-0 with 14 knockouts when he entered the ring for the title defense, scoring a 2nd round TKO over Byrne who was not even ranked in the PABA top 15.
The Thai champion had previously stopped a long list of competitive Filipino boxers including Ronnel Esperas, Dondon Sultan, Romeo Jakosalem, Dennis Padua. Joel Dela Cruz and Amor Tino.
The only Filipino boxer who lasted the distance in a title fight was Dan Nazareno Jr who lost by a twelve round unanimous decision in a rematch last May 30, 2012.
The PABA LOGO proudly proclaims the organization as the "Boxing Leader of the Future" and extols "integrity, challenge, accolade, reward, unification" whatever its supposed to imply.
Under its director general Alan Kim PABA has often allowed blatant mis-matches which undermine its claims of integrity and the proclamation that the organization is the boxing leader of the future.
These are the kinds of fights that totally alienate boxing fans and put the sport into international disrepute.
Agree with the article, they really need to stop mismatches like this happening. It's bad enough when guys have losing records , but when a guy is making his debut he could literally have no experience of any kind.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (1)
