Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - February 24, 1954, Winona, Minnesota Cloudy With Little Change In Temperature Dennis the Menace Contest Ends Next Sunday NINETY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 80 SIX CENTS PER COPY WINONA, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1954 TWENTY PAGES Army Faces New Senate Charges A Pump Was Being Used this morning to salvage bulk corn from the overturned boxcar in the foreground, Behind the car of corn are several other wrecked boxcars which previously had been removed from the eastbound tracks while the large crane in the center is beginning the task of returning three diesel units in the background to the tracks. TODAY New Look In Defense Growing By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP NEW YORK The novel Amer- ican defense concept that is called the New Look, is essentially sim- ple in purpose. It is an attempt to redesign our armed forces around the new air-atomic power that has caused a revolution in warfare. The practical question that has to be asked is whether this at- tempt is honest. Doubts on this score are natural. After all, Sec- retary of Defense Charles E. Wil- son and his alter ego, under Sec- retary Roger Kyes, took office only thirteen months ago with the ap- parent conviction that the national defense was a dubious leftist hob- by. Is the new look, then, a mere political facade, to dress up po- litical budget-cutting in the style of the unlamented Louis A. John- son? The best answer to this very serious question is the story of how the New Look's air power re- quirement was determined. In the Wilson-Kyes budget-cut- ting last year, the Air Force got most of the 40 whacks that the new team dealt out. The voting of the budget did not end the bitter j conflict, either. The secretary of defense's office angrily maintain- ed that a 120 group Air Force would be quite big enough, if not too big. The Air Staff obstinately continued to argue that the Tru- man administration target of 143 air groups was, if anything, too low. This was the difficult situation last air A 250-Ton Railroad Wrecker from St. Paul, seen here, and a smaller wrecker unit were being used today in an effort to clear the Milwaukee Road's westbound tracks of diesel units derailed near Gould street Tuesday morning. The shat- tered remains of one of the boxcars involved in the wreck is at the left.

George Charges Big Four Gave Russia Victory Claims China Has Foof in Recognition Door WASHINGTON Sen. George (D-Ga) said today that Russia, by winning a seat for Red China at the forthcoming Geneva confer- ence on Far Eastern problems, may have gained her only real objective of the Berlin Big Four talks. George, top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee, said in an interview he re- gards this action as giving the Chinese Communists "a foot in the door" toward eventual recognition by the United Nations and possi- bly by the United States. "There is no question about it, the Russians have won an achieve- George said. "They may have achieved what was their only jreal objective at the Berlin con- get the Chinese includ- ed in discussion of Asia's prob- lems." Secretary of State Dulles, who reports on the Berlin talks to the Foreign Relations Committee in a closed session today and to the nation by radio and television to- night, has contended the United States got just what it wanted in arranging the Geneva meeting. A number of Republicans have voiced skepticism at Dulles' action in agreeing to sit down with the Chinese Communists, despite his citing a written agreement that this would not constitute recogni- tion of the Peiping regime by any nation which does not do so now. The secretary briefed the House Foreign Affairs Committee yester- day and, Chairman Chiperfield (R-I11) said in a statement, report- ed that: "He had made clear the United States would in no case recognize Communist China and that it Roderick J. Wilson, .vight, one of the "accusers" of Chief Justice Earl Warren, is shown in the Senate Office Building in Washington today after he delivered himself to Capitol police and said he feared for his life.

McCarthy (R-Wis) got together for a closed door conference at the Capitol today. The meeting prompted specu- lation that they were attempt- ing to reach some agreement to avoid a public showdown Thursday when Stevens is scheduled to appear befort McCarthy's committee. WASHINGTON tin Mrs. Annie Lee Moss, Army Signal Corps employe, came before Sen. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) today and he told ier he had a witness who "broke the party last Tuesday night" and named her as "a member of he Communist conspiracy." McCarthy opened a hearing by his Senate Investigations subcom- mittee with a dramatic announce- ment that two Communist witness- es "broke with the party" Tuesday .should not be given the right to be talked to except on Korea and Indochina where Communist China had an interest as an aggressor." Chiperfield also quoted Dulles as saying Soviet leaders have "worked themselves into a situa- tion from which there is no es- and that unrest in Soviet- from justice." Langer said polite at the Senate "called the fugitive squad" of Washington metropolitan police "but nobody had a warrant." The senator said he also immediately notified Deputy Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers that Wilson was here. Wilson was later released to his attorneys under an agreement that he would return to testify this aft- j ernoon. j Reaching the Capitol shortly be- fore a committee meeting on Warren's nomination Wilson told Pope Has 'Fairly Restful Vatican Reports VATICAN CITY Pius XII spent "a fairly restful On KWNO Station KWNO AM-FM will broadcast some of the import- ant parts of the recent hear- ings of Sen.

Ah well, posting my rave girl anyway, she's covered up (kinda) and you can't see anything, I see it as acceptable but others may not! Feel free to remove it if the 12 year olds can't handle it ;(
Mod edit: I think that one is crossing the Pg-13 line by 0.1%. (It's a nice image though )

It wasn't as bad as some people have made it out to be.
Also, it would be really nice if people didn't jump down the throats of those who simply state a general opinion. If a person states something that is not an insult, and you reply by freaking out and swearing your head off, you look dumb.
Anyways, I'll be uploading a sketch dump with a slightly cropped version.
One more thing, and this is important:
There's something in this thread that has been going on since I started posting, and the best way I can describe it is that some people have been ambiguously taking credit for art that is not theirs. What I mean by that, is that they are not flat out stating it's theirs, but they are saying 'thank you's' as though the art is theirs. I think that some people are getting confused with who's art belongs to the posters, and which art is from other artists.
The best and easiest way to solve this is to clearly state the title and artist's name above the pictures being posted. If you cannot find a title or artist, simply put unknown in either place. If you cannot find either then put unknown for both, or post the website name while clearly stating it's somebody else's.
I'm not saying this to be a bitch, I'm saying this because I've seen people do this on other forums, and guess what? They got into deep trouble, and I'm sure you guys wouldn't like to get into trouble.
If you're posting your own stuff, then you have nothing to worry about.
Thank you so much for this post!
I'm following this thread much longer than I have an account on my own, and this troubled me several times while browing through the posted artworks.
Being an artist myself I think the least one has to do is add the artist's name and, even better, a link to the original source (be it the artists website, or his/her deviantart gallery for example). This would not only solve the copyright issue and problem of stolen artwork (and stealing it is, if you just post without giving credit), but also help if people would like to see more artwork of the relating artist.
Please ignore my poor English, but I really wanted to support this request for crediting the original artist, it really is an important issue.

For me this thread is awesome, mostly different from the usual nonsense, cynicism n trolling in other threads. Everyone who wants to continue argue, go somewhere else plz cuz I was under the impression this was a fun thread with pics n light conversation.
Rachel, if u want to add names etc. u do that, but I don't see the point, just by right-clicking a pic shows where it comes from. Anyways, all we are supposed to do here is look at art n talk about it, not discussing who made it x number of years ago, this isn't a forum for selling art, so it's not really our business now is it? It's off-topic to me.
I'm not Christian or anything, but yeah, some people can't deal with seeing a body without clothes. If the picture had two people ramming eachother, or explicit sex/gore, fair enough. But i'll assume it wasn't.
- doubt this is the thread for artistic nude, hell, "David" would get taken off of here. Let's just keep the clothed fanart coming, eh.
Also, I love your work, I honestly can't do anything without ugly black lines everywhere. BLACK LINES AREN'T THERE, JUST DARKER SHADES OF WHATEVER COLOUR YOU HAVE, grr.
I find it very depressing that only maybe, 2 people actually read what I said.
It's common courtesy to actually write down who did the picture, because not everyone is going to 'reply with quote' or 'open in another window' to check who the artist is, and they'll assume it's the poster and shower them with undeserved praises.
Summerdrake:"not discussing who made it x number of years ago, this isn't a forum for selling art, so it's not really our business now is it? It's off-topic to me."
What? I didn't say that...
All I'm asking is for this:
I'll use one of mine as an example:
Domestic Goddess, Hitsujifox/Rachel
It takes less than a minute.
So i found a new piece of Arthas, i dont think it have been posted here before.
Its from scorge-minion -> http://scourge-minion.deviantart.com/
Im impressed, he/she uses lines, but he/she still makes it look so real, soo its .. wow
"The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."
Wow....just...absolutely wow....that image is absolutely amazing. The detail, the color,brilliant.
Anyway more art from http://scourge-minion.deviantart.com/
Hate to post this, since evul Arthas has his sword up to Illidan's neck, BUT! *In my mind Illidan just snippity snap keeels Arthas in 0.1sec*
"The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."
That troll female from Summerdrake has some really nice abdomen!
Anyway, I think we agree that claiming someone else's artwork as oneself's is kind of worst case (commercial use or not), but I still consider it rude not to mention the original artist when posting, or linking back to his/her website.
Buuut... back on topic: There seems to be a lack of warlock pieces these times, maybe someone wants to change that?

Submitted to: Avian Pathology
Publication Type: Review Article
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/30/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: This book contains the reviewed proceedings of a meeting of the Avian Immunology Research Group (AIRG) held at Reading University 3/20-24/94. The AIRG is an international group of scientists with interests and expertise in many facets of avian immunology that comes together annually to share and discuss results, reagents, ideas and collaborations. The concise papers in this book are an important record and useful byproduct of the meeting. Eight papers describe development and functions of lymphocytes and accessory cells. Many of these involve the development of monoclonal antibodies to chicken cells, or their use in various research procedures. Nine papers address immunogenetics and mapping of immune competence genes. This section highlights the definition, variability and expression of immunologically relevant MHC genes, particularly in regard to disease resistance. However, one review also addresses genomic mapping of additional immunological genes. A major research effort is underway to define cytokines of chickens and this is the subject of five papers, most of which address chicken interferons. Ten papers that address vaccines, immunity and disease will be of interest to most readers of Avian Pathology. Articles pertaining to Newcastle's disease, Marek's disease, coccidiosis and haemorrhagic enteritis virus, and reviewing mucosal immunity and immunological principles of vaccination of poultry will be particularly enlightening. This book has been over a year in publication and therefore some reports are somewhat outdated, but many contain new immunological concepts in development and most provide useful citations. This book is recommended to anyone concerned with avian immunity and disease resistance.

" Address: 38 Barras Green / Stoke / West Midlands / CV2 4LY "
The one thing that me and my family all enjoy once a week is a chippy tea. This one isn't very far from where we live and this in recent months has become a firm favourite of ours not just because of how the food tastes but that the pricing and choice is great too, add to that the premises are really clean and tidy at all times!
38 Barras Green
Stoke, Coventry
West Midlands
Telephone: 024 7645 1603
Opening times:
MONDAY - THURSDAY 11:30 - 2:00pm 4:30 - 10:45pm
FRIDAY - SATURDAY 11.30 - 11pm
The Place:
Ok so lets start off with the basics shall we? Its on the number 6 route through to Coventry City Centre and you can of course come to it on the same bus from the town. Parking is highly limited with no parking for the chippy near by. It is on a main road and not from a major shopping area called Ball Hill and if you want to walk to town from it, it'll take you about half an hour at a leisurely pace to do so. Parking is a big issue here though!
The chippy is usually very busy and you always have at least 2 members of staff serving, 3 at night though service is slow and they are in no hurry at all to serve you and get you done and out of there, they just don't know what rushing is! They are not a chatty bunch but they are polite and clean looking and I have noticed that they all keep washing their hands and so on.
The food served here is traditional chippy fare, well it is by today standards anyway. Fish and chips will set you back about £4.00, a portion of chips, standard £1.60, large £2.20, a cone is just £1.20 ,a scallop is 40p, a battered or saveloy sausage about £1.40. There is Roe, sausages, plain chicken and then side dishes like mushy peas, gravy, curry sauce all at about £1.20 a time and then kebabs whether they be mixed or plain doner all can come served with salad and on pitta and you can ask for it to be made the way that you want it to, well that goes for any of the food really they really will try to give you what you want. Cans of pop are on sale to at about 60p a can though I haven't seen any childrens meals or meal deals on offer in here to the best of my knowledge.
I have had haddock and chips and mushy peas and cod and chips or a doner kebab and often I nip in and grab a couple of scallops and I'm always pleased that my food is freshly cooked and tasty and never too greasy. The take away is always impeccably clean too though I do get fed up at the length of time I have to wait to get served and often fish isn't out so there's a long wait for that although on the upside it is really fresh!
All in all though this is a chippy, plenty of variety and large portions are served and its never too greasy and so I think you get excellent value for money. It is wheelchair friendly enough though there isn't a great amount of space in there to be fair but me, I'm more than happy to grab food from here as I haven't had a bad meal from here yet just be aware though if nipping in you may be in for a wee wait as its so, so popular with people who live near by!

Groundbreaking Trachea Surgery Performed at Peoria HospitalMay 15, 2013
PEORIA — A pioneer in regenerative medicine traveled from Sweden to the Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria last month to create a new trachea for a 2-year-old girl.
Born in South Korea without a trachea in 2010, Hannah Warren had been unable to breathe, eat, drink or swallow on her own. To keep her alive, doctors in Seoul reconfigured her esophagus so that a breathing tube could go down it from her mouth to her lungs, creating an airway for her to breathe. The esophagus normally runs behind the windpipe and carries food to the stomach. The doctors closed off her stomach from her esophagus so the acid wouldn't get into her lungs, and she was fed by a feeding tube that was inserted directly into her stomach.
When Hannah was a month old, Lindsay Sohn, a Korean-born nurse, suggested that Mark Holterman, a pediatric surgeon at the Children's Hospital of Illinois who was traveling on a business trip in Seoul, meet the infant who was expected to die soon. Holterman was intrigued by Hannah's case and began to think of an appropriate way to help her. On a subsequent visit, Holterman met Hannah's parents — Darryl, a Canadian man, and Lee Young-mi, a Korean women — and offered to do what he could to find a solution for their infant.
Through the Internet, the couple and Holterman learned about the field of regenerative medicine and hoped that this would be the answer to Hannah's dilemma. After doing further research on regenerative medicine, they learned of Paolo Macchiarini, a professor of regenerative surgery at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, who had built new tracheas out of stem cells and biological scaffolds, and implanted them into adult patients.
"We did about 14 transfers before in adults using stem cells and biological scaffolds," said Macchiarini. "There are some that are doing well. Some patients died because of complications and/or because of prior arrangements in which the patients had cancer."
Although Macchiarini had never regenerated and implanted a trachea in a child, he offered to help Hannah.
"It is the first time I've done a transfer on a child," said Macchiarini.
Hannah's parents could not afford the surgery, so Holterman arranged to have the procedure at the Children's Hospital of Illinois, a Roman Catholic hospital that is part of OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. The hospital considers the operation that would have cost the family hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of its mission to provide charity care, but also views it as a way to champion a type of stem-cell therapy that doesn't involve human embryos. The Catholic church opposes using stem cells derived from human embryos in research or treatment.
Macchiarini was unsure if Hannah's surgery would be successful.
"There are so many complications and unexpected events that can occur, so I was quite uncertain about the final outcome," said Macchiarini.
Prior to the surgery, Macchiarini extracted stem cells from Hannah's bone marrow with a special needle inserted into her hip bone. The stem cells were seeded in a lab onto a plastic scaffold, where it took less than a week for them to multiply and create a new trachea.
During the course of nine hours, Macchiarini successfully implanted Hannah's new trachea.
"We implanted a new bioartificial trachea comprised of a plastic nanofiber scaffold that was seeded with bone marrow cells," said Holterman. "The cell seeding allows for the trachea to incorporate new blood vessels supply and begin differentiation into tracheal type cells. We connected the two ends of her swallowing tube (esophagus) together."
According to Holterman, it will take Hannah three months to recover from the surgery. Hannah is wearing a "trach," a tracheostomy tube that was inserted from the surface of her neck directly into the windpipe and connected to a ventilator, to help her breathe.
Currently, Hannah is being treated for an infection that resulted from the surgery.
"(Hannah is) complicated by a leak from her swallowing tube surgical connection, and this has caused an infection that she is recovering from," said Holterman.
Hannah's parents said their daughter is quickly recovering from her surgery.
"Hannah has made tremendous progress since her surgery," said Darryl and Lee Young-mi Warren in an email statement. "Of course there were some anticipated complications, but each one was recognized quickly and dealt with effectively. She's getting back to the 'old' Hannah we remember, admire and love. She's tough as nails and an inspiration."
As a result of the surgery, Hannah is now able to smell and taste.
"She can now smell and taste," said the Warrens in an email statement. "She loves experimenting with new foods, but right now lollipops are her favorite. With time, she'll be able to swallow and eat and drink like normal."
According to Holterman, Hannah will probably need another trachea surgery in five years.
"She will grow, the windpipe may not be big enough for her as an adult," said Holterman. "Also, we hope to connect her voice box to her new trachea one day to allow her to speak."
If Hannah needs an additional trachea surgery, her parents would like to return to the Children's Hospital of Illinois for the procedure.
"Our experience (at the Children's Hospital of Illinois) has been outstanding," said the Warrens in an email statement. "We have received the highest level of care and support. When we first entered Hannah's new hospital room at OSF PICU, we knew this was the place Hannah and her family needed and deserved to be. All staff have been very professional, supportive and friendly. We are blessed to be in such an incredible place with equally incredible people."
Hannah's parents think their daughter will "be able to live a long, healthy and normal life."
"Hannah has multiple miracles notched on her young belt and she's just getting started," said the Warrens in an email statement. "She will never be just 'normal.' She's extraordinary in every way.
"She is breathing well with her new trachea and trach, and there's real hope that once her trachea can be attached 'normally' with her larynx and voice box, she'll be able to breathe normally without the trach, and she'll be able to talk."
The stem-cell technique that Macchiarini used to create Hannah's trachea has been used to create other body parts, and holds promise for treating other birth defects and childhood diseases. Similar methods have been used to grow bladders and urethras. Last year a girl in Sweden got a lab-made vein using her own stem cells and a cadaver vein.
Scientists hope to eventually use the stem-cell technique to create solid organs, including kidneys and livers.

You can still Rock in America, but Infinity Broadcasting has made sure you cant Rock in New York City, no matter what your age is. WNEW, New York Citys home of Rock & Roll since 1967, was killed by Infinity in September 1999 when the station flipped to Talk. WCBS-FM, home of Rock & Roll for the elderly, was Jack-ed off the airwaves by the Variety Hits format earlier this year. Most recently, it was announced that Infinitys WXRK K-Rock would be dumping its "Great Rock Period" format for Free FM, leaving Clear Channels Classic Rock WAXQ (Q104) as the only station serving New York listeners with Rock music.
K-Rock was destined to be a radio station in transition once Howard Stern announced he was headed for satellite radio, but as the deconstruction of K-Rock as a music station has set in, the current staff has been left blowing in the wind. Case in point, many staffers found out about the station's impending flip to Free-FM when GM Tom Chiusano marched David Lee Roth into the studio with Stern. After Roth left the studio, a conversation ensued on Sterns program with Chiusano, middayer Julie Slater, night jock Ben Harvey and others that was more informative than anything the staff had been told by management. Earlier this week it was announced that Leslie "Radio Chick" Gold would be taking over the afternoon drive slot, leaving the afternoon drive team headed by Booker on-air, but in limbo.
The core of K-Rocks programming staff has been a trio of players OM Rob Cross, APD/MD Mike Peer, and Marketing & Programming Manager Marie Rodrigues. Cross is expected to announce his post-K-Rock plans any moment now. Rodrigues will join Q Prime artist management in early December. And Peer? At the moment, hes last man standing.
Peer has always been a forward thinker and a force behind the creative input at K-Rock. When the station shifted to "Great Rock Period" earlier this year, Peer was behind K-Rock 2 an online version of K-Rock that focuses on new music and core Alternative artists. He has developed programs such as Hacked where artists takeover the station by playing tunes from their iPod, Bootleg which features recent New York City concerts played back on air, and Domestic Disturbance a one hour local show featuring the hot New York City scene and one of the most talked about shows on K2.
With a January 3 launch of Free FM planned for K-Rock, Peer is setting his sights on his next opportunity. FMQB caught up with him to discuss what those plans might be.
Youve been the APD/MD at K-Rock for eight years, which is something that most people in radio would kill for. With the station going "Free FM" in January, whats next on your agenda?
Staying in radio would be an obvious choice. The funny thing is, most people dont have any idea of my background, since Ive been doing Rock and Alternative for the last thirteen years. I started as a deejay in nightclubs, and, as a matter of fact, I still have over 15,000 pieces of vinyl in my basement. From there, I segued to Urban Radio, and then to Top 40 radio, before joining KNNC in Austin, TX in 1992, which was my first Alternative radio gig.
Since you have worked at multiple formats, would you be willing to leave Rock radio?
Absolutely, while Alternative and Rock are my expertise, the prospect of going back to work with other formats excites me since I havent done them in so long.
Would you like to be a PD again?
Absolutely!!! I was PD at KNNC in Austin for a bit, but I took a Music Director role to work with some amazing PDs in the last ten years, such as Joel Folger [while at KDGE/Dallas], Steve Kingston [at K-Rock], and Rob Cross [at K-Rock]. I have definitely picked up a few things along the way and its time to take the wheel again.
What would you be interested in beyond radio?
I have had meetings with the heads of A&R at some record labels in the past few weeks and that is extremely interesting to me.
That would seem to be a natural progression for you.
Ive always been the guy who gets excited over finding a new band that people havent heard before. I can still remember the day that Joel Folger wrote in his day-planner, "Mike Peer says that Matchbox 20 will sell 10 million records." That was the day we called in the first ever add on "Long Day", which was their first single. I was also out in front on Linkin Park, Eminem, Korn, Fuel, Kid Rock, and White Stripes.
Thats a pretty good track record.
Yeah, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. A&R is something that Ive been thinking about for years, and have actually been offered before, but was never ready to make the move, but now its time if the opportunity arises.
If you dont transition to A&R, would you be willing to give up market #1 and leave New York City for another radio station?
My mind is completely open to new challenges and my next move is more about the job and what Im doing than it is about the title and the money. Staying in the New York area is my first choice. Since I have four kids and my son is in high school, I really dont want to move, but if the right job comes along, I would absolutely move. No matter what direction I go record label, A&R, radio, Internet, satellite, band management Ill be excited for the challenge of something new.

Replace 75 year old slate roof with a slate-look shingle product.
It's time to replace our 75 year old slate roof - while the main section (with a fairly steep pitch) is fairly intact, the area over the garage (slight pitch) is in need of very frequent repair. Nails have rusted out, the slate moves causing recurring leaks. In addition, the copper valleys in the roof, as well as the flashing have all been tarred over repeatedly.
I am also considering rebuilding a 33 course chimney stack that also requires regular maintenance. Both jobs would be done in tandem. Pictures of the chimney and surrounding area on shown on another thread with my user id.
I would like to use shingles that emulate slate - look and deminsion- but do not wish to spend a ton of $$. Certain products have been recommended (slateline, certainteed grand mannor) but are fairly expensive.
I live on long Island near the ocean. Could anyone recommend good products for my needs? Also any advice in approaching this project would be well appreciated.
If they still have a 'ring' to them, just pull and stack them on the roof, put down 30# or heavier felt and using 1-1/4" copper nails and 3-4" headlap, just reinstall them so they'll last 100 years or so.
Or just use shingles for a good 15-17 year roof.
Just curious as to the other types of roofs that are in your community. Slate adds $$$ to your homes value. Shingles or some faux slate will cheapen it especially if the norm in your area. Many people think the opposite of you....what can I do to have an authentic slate roof and get rid of these shingles.
What Tinner666 said is so true...slate is a lifetime product. Nails and underlayment can be repaired and replaced. Whatever you decide, you could probably salvage the slate and sell it. 75 years of history gone. Pouff... At least up North you have qualified slaters... it's a specialized field. Here in Floria we have to import them from up North to have a job done properly. And, they only end up on very exclusive homes down here. OK, I'm done.:whistling2: Good luck with whatever you decide.
Good advice from tinner666. I'm building an extension at home and using reclaimed Welsh slates older than your's. You might need to change the headlap on the garage if the pitch is not much.
Are you doing the work yourself?
If you decide to not reuse your slate there are companies out there that will pay for your salvaged slate. I did this on a church that was built in the late 1800's and our company recouped a significant amout of money for selling the old slate. That slate was just over 100 years old at the time so I would think most of yours is still very usable.
More info
Thank you folks for our quick replies and much appreciated advice!! I am not doing the work myself. My main reason for replacement rather than repair is the amount of work done during the past 30 years. All the flashing has been covered with tar, the area that pitches less needs to be repaired on a regular basis (last year I had copper flashing installed between the main roof and garage). Also the area around the chimney has been a constant problem spot with water penetrating the room next to it. Counter flashing is invisible, etc. Attic ventilation has been a problem as well - I have used attic fans for ventilation - but over time they burn out. I was thinking of installing ridge vents.
There are only two houses (both New England Cape Cods), one of which is mine, that have slate roofs - all the others are shingled and were built 15 years later. I hate to give up the slate but the expense to continue with it is up there - at least $15k to get it up to snuff.
Given that, I am open to any suggestions for moving forward.
Yeah, putting 'tar' on a roof sure does add to the expense. At least the seller got something good from it.
You have to replace all the flashing anyway. No increase or savings there. RV is possible with slate or shingles. Slate lasts longer.
Just shoot anybody you see approaching a roof with bucket of 'tar', whatever that is, in their hands. As I recall, those guys are 'In-Season' year 'round.
Hi Frank - thanks for the response. Given the 'tar' situation - does it make more sense to replace the slate roof or re-install all the flashing and repair the slate? Not one bit of cooper shows anywhere.
GAF SlateLine is ~4k more than architectual; Certainteed Grand Manor is $6500 more. I agree with you about the previous labor - unfortunately it's been done over the years and compounded the original problems.
BTW - I have been to areas where slate roofs are the predominate choice - a few of the homes have installed sythetics and look like they fit in.
I really hate to give up the slate with the comments I have received - but am concerned over the entire slate renovation work and cost.
"Given the 'tar' situation - does it make more sense to replace the slate roof or re-install all the flashing and repair the slate? Not one bit of cooper shows anywhere."
As a rule, yes. Best bet is to gently remove them, felt as stated above, and reinstall with 4" headlap. Copper nails, etc. You might need to buy 2-3 squares extra. Have them terminate against a 1x4" nailer at the ridge and alternate flashing and slates across the ridge for a permanent closure.
"There are only two houses (both New England Cape Cods), one of which is mine, that have slate roofs - all the others are shingled and were built 15 years later."
Just out of curiousity, and slightly OT, how do those 60 year old shingles look today?
You talked about all the ongoing repairs. For the record and future reference, slate repairs are made by pulling any remnants of a broken slate and it's nails out. Then, a replacement slate has a hole punched in it's center, from the rear, near the top of it's keyway. Then, it's slid into place, a copper nail is tapped in through the hole, and 'set' with a 3/32" nailset to a proper depht, ( The nails hold slate in place in a recess created by the punch and ARE NOT nailed tightly!They are hung in place, as opposed to being tightly nailed in place.), and a copper or black aluminum bib at least 5"w x 7" long, MINIMUM, is slid up the keyway covering the nail and continueing up until a 3'4" headlap is achieved. The repair is as permanent as any other slate in the roof. No 'tar' involved.

A 21-year-old Essex man is facing multiple charges after allegedly failing to stop for police Friday night in Leamington.
At about 9:20 p.m., Leamington OPP attempted to stop a 1998 White Subaru on County Rd. 34 for a Highway Traffic Act violation. The vehicle took off at a high rate of speed, but officers did not pursue.
The Subaru was later spotted travelling eastbound on Seacliffe Drive. Officers deployed a spikebelt near Seacliffe Drive and Sherk Street and stopped the man, who is facing several charges including two counts of stunt driving and two counts of failing to stop for police.
Leamington OPP are still investigating and more charges are pending.
The driver was released and will appear in court May 1.

- Publisher's Summary
- The protection of the knowledge and practises of local and indigenous groups has been discussed in various forums in recent times. International agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity address the importance of protecting traditional knowledge and practises, recognizing that this knowledge bears immense value in terms of its contribution to the conservation of biological diversity and its inputs to R&D in various fields. Experiences of the past, prominently the use of the Neem tree and the Turmeric plant, show that the benefits of traditional knowledge applications are allocated mainly to the follow-on developers and rarely to the original suppliers of the knowledge and practises. In the long term, this may result in restricted access to traditional knowledge to the detriment of social welfare. The book examines traditional knowledge protection in the area of traditional medical knowledge, often utilised in contemporary medicine, and consequently subject to patent protection. It provides a comparative view of the current patent regimes in major economies, specifically the US and the EU, and the consequences of the application of these laws to traditional medical knowledge and follow-on innovation, as well as the impact on underlying economic principles and opposing interests. The economic analysis of law is used to evaluate the current situation by comparing the effects of adapted patent regimes to alternative liability regimes or contractual agreements. This comparative and interdisciplinary approach taken gives valuable insights and inputs for future discussion.

Retail sector has wide potential
International Financial Corporation Country Manager for Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Adam Sack told a ceremony that even though Sri Lanka's modernised retail business is around 16 percent which is low compared to China's 60 percent and Thailand's 40 percent, the country's retail business sector has enormous potential to expand as a vibrant business sector contributing to economic growth.
The retail sector could encompass a wider spectrum of the economy in terms of livelihood development, skills enhancement of youth and rural economic growth.
IFC has committed around 520 million US dollars to boost development in Sri Lanka and help the private sector to expand businesses.

Repeatedly staggering up or lurching down the set's two flights of stairs while trying to pull a vicious dignity about herself like a wrapper, Parsons's drugged-out matriarch is alternately crude and ladylike, vituperative and comatose. Demanding the men don suit coats as she commands a family dinner, spitting out true grit and the breezy antagonism she calls "truth telling," she nonetheless communicates a wistful nostalgia and the childhood pain that turned Violet tough. That this exemplary production of a Pulitzer-winning play — albeit a long one devoid of singing and dancing — should have to cancel the second week of its Boston engagement for lack of ticket sales does not bode well for the continuance of downtown theater with any kind of bite. It's enough to give you the Plains.

Australian researchers are using a novel mobile laser 3D mapping system called Zebedee to preserve some of the country's oldest and most culturally significant heritage sites.
13 April 2013 - At the core of the technology, developed by CSIRO's Autonomous Systems Lab in Brisbane, is a laser scanner that swings back and forth on a spring to capture millions of detailed measurements. Zebedee gives researchers the ability to reliably map an environment in 3D by simply walking through it.
"This technology is ideal for cultural heritage mapping, which is usually very time consuming and labour intensive. It can often take a whole research team a number of weeks or even months to map a site with the accuracy and detail of what we can produce in a few hours," said Dr Jonathan Roberts, Director of CSIRO's Autonomous Systems Lab.
"Zebedee has allowed us to capture a detailed record of several key cultural heritage sites ranging from those which are fragile and at risk of damage through natural disasters to those which are remote and difficult to get to," said Professor John Macarthur, Dean and Head of the School of Architecture at The University of Queensland.
"We're looking to use these maps in the future to create an archive of rich data about cultural heritage sites, which will allow us to analyse them without costly and time consuming hand measuring. From this, we have already analysed important aspects of Australian history. For example, the detailed map of Peel Island's many small buildings allowed us to analyse architecture used to racially segregate people within the leper colony. The point cloud data clearly depicts how cramped and crowded the living quarters for Indigenous people were, when compared to the non-Indigenous people who lived in their own huts with scenic verandas," he said.
About Zebedee
Zebedee is a handheld 3D mapping system developed by CSIRO that can scan an environment as an operator walks through it. The system produces a 3D map of the environment as well as an accurate record of the trajectory followed. The primary sensing technology utilised is LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), in which an infrared laser measures ranges to surfaces in the environment.
The distinguishing feature of Zebedee's design is that the laser scanner is mounted on a spring, which provides a lightweight solution for ensuring a wide scanning field of view. The spring converts the natural motions of the operator into a suitable sweeping motion of the scanner. A low-cost inertial sensor provides rough measurements of the spring's rotations. Specially designed software is able to convert the raw range and inertial measurements into a 3D map, represented as a pointcloud, which consists of millions of points expressed in a common coordinate frame.

Aline Bakulikira
"I can study without worrying about my finances."
"I chose the field because I really want to help those who are disadvantaged and can't access hospital. Being a nurse is a very rewarding job as you are able to help those who are most in need.
This qualification is going to change my life and I hope that by being a nurse I will be able to change the lives of disadvantaged people around the world.
I am very committed to my studies and my scholarship has meant I have been able to study without worrying about my finances."

Rebecca Bredin
"It's never too late to fight for your dreams."
As a single, working, studying mother of three I have often struggled to find the right balance between financial commitments, study and family time. This scholarship has reduced my financial burdens and has improved the quality of my work.
The scholarship has meant I have more time to undertake valuable (yet unpaid) work placements which provide me with the skills, industry experience and contacts that support the theoretical knowledge I am learning in my degree.
My degree will open opportunities to a fulfilling career and financial security. More importantly, it will show my children that it is never too late to fight for your dreams.
Rebecca studies sport management at Federation University Australia's Gippsland Campus.
Joshua Callander
"I can now focus solely on doing my best"
I spent several years in the IT field but never enjoyed it. A few years ago I decided to return to university. I found a love for microbiology and immunology and hope to enter a career in a lab.
This scholarship has alleviated a lot of the financial concerns that come with returning to study full-time. I can now focus solely on doing my best in my exams and assignments.

Dianne Robertson
"I had to set my dream aside but now I'm living it."
"As a young child my dream was of being a nurse and caring for others, a dream I had to set aside for many years due to family commitments. I now have the fortunate opportunity to once again pursue that dream and have just completed the first year of the bachelor degree. The success of my studies has further strengthened my belief that nursing is not only my career choice but has also defined who I am as a person.
The Foundation Scholarship is more than just financial aid; it has eased the stress of the daily budgeting that I have to undertake to juggle my home and study commitments."
Dianne studies nursing at Federation University Australia's Gippsland Campus.
Tara Schultz
"I want to excel rather than just survive."
"Having a scholarship gives me a buffer, a safety net, and the encouragement that most people take for granted. I wanted to excel rather than just survive, and that's what my scholarship is helping me to do.
My motivation for success in my studies comes out of a real passion for social policy and community work. Growing up I was surrounded by drugs, crime, illness and despair. It was my passion for the social sciences that kept me going, and helped me to find a way out of that world.
My career aim is to improve the social programs that help youth experiencing homelessness, mental illness, poverty, drug addition and abuse."
Tara studies community and human services at Federation University Australia's Gippsland Campus.
Darren Thomas
"I am building a future for my children, and the world."
"My greatest regret in life was leaving school at an early age. After working in the civil construction industry for many years, I am now pursuing my dreams of higher education and studying the environmental and geological aspects of my work.
Balancing full-time study and family commitments is challenging both emotionally and financially, but I know that what I am doing is going to make a real difference as we work towards a more sustainable future.
I have just finished the first year of my study with outstanding results that I wholeheartedly believe would not have been possible without the incredible assistance of the Foundation."

?Lady Eagles get rumbled in Southwestern tourney
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 14 January 2009 00:00
? The Austin Lady Eagles enjoyed a busy week participating in the annual Rumble on the River holiday tournament held at Southwestern High School on January 2 and 3.
Austin won three straight games to advance to the championship game that Saturday night. Ultimately, however, the Lady Eagles were defeated by Fishers' Lady Tigers.
Austin's first game was played against the Columbus East Lady Olympians. The lady Eagles started from the field 0/3 to trail the Columbus team 8-0. Austin quickly came into it, however, and Ashley Dowling hit two treys to put the lady Eagles on top 27-24. Austin stopped any second chance points by grabbing defensive boards in the paint. At the half, Austin led 41-33.

?New Austin system requires trash at curbside by 7 a.m.
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 14 January 2009 00:00
? Residents of Austin experienced few problems as the community's new trash pick-up system became effective on Friday, January 2.
But several people called the Mayor's Office to complain that their trash wasn't picked up - and there's a good reason for most of those grievances.
In order to have their garbage picked up on designated days, residents must place their trash at curbside no later than 7 a.m.
In several cases, trash hadn't been put out by residents until after the garbage truck crew had visited streets in question. Crews begin work pretty early as a rule because the transfer station, the site where all trash collected in Austin, Scottsburg and the county is collected by a contractor, is open from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. To get two to three loads picked up, compressed and transported to the transfer station takes time. Residents need to help the crew by getting their trash bags and containers out early so that everything is ready to be picked up quickly as the truck travels along city streets.

?Alert observers, persistent police and bad engine result in arrest of alleged bank robbers Friday
Written by Marty Randall
Tuesday, 06 January 2009 00:00
? Thanks to a number of alert observers and a blown truck engine, a trio of alleged bank robbers soon found themselves behind bars in Scott County on Friday, January 2.
Indiana Bank and Trust on U.S. Highway 31 South in Austin was not only the last bank in the county to be robbed in 2008, it was the first in 2009. Just before 11 a.m. on Friday, Austin police officers Col. Lonnie Noble and Patrolman Crystal Schapson were dispatched to IBT in response to a report of two suspicious males walking around in back of the building.
As the officers were en route to the bank, dispatchers advised them that a robbery had occurred at that location.
They arrived in time to see two white males running across the parking lot of Austin Christian Church, located directly south of the bank, and jump into a white Dodge pickup truck.

Yea for Museum Marathon!!
I am so proud of you. Six museums in one day, plus highlights in the city. But, really, the piece de resistance was of course the Toilet Museum. I love the write-up and now feel fully informed.
Over here, it's already New Years Day. Emily and I went to Rhea and Ramey's. Edie called and met us there. I am going Mushroom Hunting with her on Friday and I'm really excited. For now, I'm revising my essays for Northwestern.
Hooray for cool weather other there!

Hide lines
First stop was Jama Majid, an old mosque. My driver actually went with me on the rickshaw to the site and continued with me on to the neighboring Red Fort (where rulers lived for centuries and then was taken over by the British when they occupied).
I should note: the weather has been really weird and totally different from what I expected. India is actually cold in the morning. Its about 55 degrees in the am and eve and only goes up to about 65F during the day (!). Its been quite foggy too - particulalry in the morning (which is a seasonal thing). As a result, there was this delightful, yet spooky quality visiting places in the morning. I didn't dare scale the steps on Jama Majid - it was rather eerie but powerful. A beautiful building but someone post apocalyptic eerie energy with the number of poor people settled about. I'm sure it would have been quite different and vibrant had I gone 2 hrs later. But there's something special about that morning light... (plus, there's fewer tourists) ;)
After only photographic the steps of the mosque (no way I was going to traipse up them that time of day) the driver came with me to the Red Fort - the palace of the Mughal ruler and later the seat of the British govts presence in India.
This was followed by a trip to the last place Gandhi stayed for the last 144 days of his life before getting shot nearby. It was amazing to see his 'worldly possessions' when he died - two forks, two knives, two spoons (all were one in wood and the other in metal), a bowl, walking stick and a watch. It was interesting where my head went on that one - I started to think about how Gandhi stands up as a "brand" (its identity, reasons to believe, core equity, etc) and how he'll stand up historically. That was just weird (too much chai maybe?)
Then, on to the National Museum - which wasn't super interesting other than randomly stumbling on the relics of the Buddha (!?!). These small pieces were placed in this gorgeous golden urn designed by the Thai govt. While I was there, some monks did their ritual clockwise walk around it to pay homage.
Next, the Railway Museum, which has about 30 trains from India's railway history (rail travel started in the country in 1855). The cars had such elegance and power - it really exuded a wonderfully romantic vision of British colonialism and elegance. A few show engines had wheels 60" in diameter and looked straight out of the movies! The big issue with trains in the country - which must have been, and still is, a huge mess - is the 30 odd different train track gauges used across the country. I had this flashback to this paper I did in my AP US History class in HS about how the North won the Civil War basically because of their having a unified track system (thereby allowing goods to transfer easily across the land). in contrast, the South, much like India, had this random hodgepodge of local entrepreneurs who built their own rail systems and purposely used diff sized tracks to have a proprietary monopoly. It effectively choked the distribution system and fumbled their unified front against the yanks. To that end, its amazing how that India (I guess, come to think of it., much like now) could be so innovative yet backwards looking at the same time.
For my final destination, I went to that enlightened place in Delhi you've all heard about that's one of the signature features of India worldwide: The International Toilet Museum. Given my 250 Pepto Tabs (of which I'm taking 8 per day as a preventative measure), I thought it was only fitting to truly get to the intellectual heart of India's re-known sewage and septic practices. The museum isn't that big, but has a terrific history of sanitation, toilet design, and toilet innovation (the next hundred years... dum..dum...dum...) ;) It turns out that India has the oldest history with formalized toileting, dating back to 2500BC. A big bummer acknowledged by my (strangely enthusiastic) tour guide was how these precious archaeological locales were annoyingly severed from India's history when the country was arbitrarily divided to form Pakistan. DOH!!!
And of course, the big question that I know you're wondering about is 'what did THEIR toilets look like'?!?! 1) They didn't flush and 2) some brilliant person thought of putting the latch on the outside of the door and not putting one on the inside. Their attention to toilet innovation really stumbled on that one. Personally, I felt it really undermined the country's history and put a large mark of poo on their sense of septic honor.
Tomorrow, I'm on to Agra for New Years with the Taj Mahal. I'm going via train so I'm fully busting out my dark black sunglasses and fully pulling down my shmata tube "Buff" thing from REI that works like a charm to cover my hair. I now look like a Utili-Nun ready for action!! ;)

The Wauwatosa Fire Department put a new training device - a blue door - to the test Tuesday in a live fire exercise at the Public Works Yard behind the recycling center.
With smoke billowing from the tower, it uses for practice, firefighters arrived, broke open the door, charged into the building behind it and pulled out a man and an infant. The fact that the victims were a dummy and a doll didn't detract from the seriousness of the exercise.
The door, a heavy, freestanding steel structure made by Firehouse Innovations Corp., opens, closes and can be locked.
"This is unique because it's very hard to practice breaking into a door," said Fire Chief Rob Ugaste. "And we have key boxes on many of the buildings, and if somebody's there, if the door's open, if the key box is there, we don't need to break in. But some of them don't have it, and if it's an emergency and we don't have any other choice, what we want to do is get in effectively and efficiently, but do as little damage as possible."
The door is reusable, and "you can actually simulate different types of doors. They can simulate a wood door, they can simulate a steel door, they can change the way the hinges sit - things that complicate entry into buildings," Ugaste said.
Opening the door
A $7,500 donation from the GE Foundation paid for the door. GE Healthcare's presence in Wauwatosa's Milwaukee County Research Park was key, said Matt Williams, government relations leader at GE Healthecare, who attended the event with Don Bernhardt, GE's facilities manager.
"We all live here," Williams said - and by extension, are protected by the Fire Department.
For the exercise, the door was set up to simulate a wooden door, with a wooden jamb. A separate piece is used for simulating a steel door.
"The inventor … happens to be a New York firefighter. We went out there, we worked with him and trained with him, we picked the props up from him, he designed both of those - and when he heard about the generosity of GE, he actually cut us a deal on those props," said Fire Captain Dale Pekel.
Five crucial minutes
The exercise started with an actual dispatch coming out of Assistant Chief Scott Erke's radio. "Five-story fire, multiple sides … all hands working."
Fire trucks arrived, three firefighters attacked the door with an ax and a Halligan bar - a multipurpose tool like a crowbar, adz and a climbing tool all rolled into one - while two others set up a ladder to a second-floor, boarded-up window. In matter of seconds the wood chunks holding the door had given way, and the firefighters, equipped with oxygen tanks and masks, carrying hose, entered the thick, black smoke billowing out of it.
On the second floor, a firefighter on the ladder bashed in a board and entered through the window. At the same time, a ladder truck raised its ladder to a third floor balcony, ready to help if necessary.
Then a firefighter on the second floor came down the ladder holding the infant, and the other firefighter on the second floor followed him down.
Back down on the first floor, two firefighters emerged from the smoke carrying their victim, whom they walked a safe distance away and laid on the asphalt.
The whole exercise took less than five minutes.
"The theory is, if we don't have a fire out in 10 minutes, we've got a problem," Erke said. "It's growing too fast, and we get more people on."
When it was all over, the GE executives each tried their hand at breaking through the door.

Kolkata: A spell of shower could have turned Sachin Tendulkar's birthday celebrations into a damp squib but the 'Weather Gods' finally relented as the legend didn't forget to mention that "age is never a factor." "Age should not be a factor. As long as I'm enjoying the game, my body and my mind are going hand in hand together, then it works."
On his own admission, Tendulkar had to use the knife close to 15 times on the day starting from a private function organised by the Mumbai Indians. "It's embarrassing to keep cutting cakes... 40! I know. May be, I think close to 15 or so," Tendulkar said laughingly after cutting a 40-lb cake specially ordered by the Cricket Association of Bengal.
With his MI teammates cheering in front of their dressing room, Tendulkar sliced through the green-coloured cake, resembling a cricket ground with his signature "ST" bat place in the middle, while the cherry was also placed and the cake was fenced with stumps. Tendulkar, who has got almost all the batting records to his name apart from Brian Lara's highest Test score, also rubbished talks about imminent retirement saying age should not be a factor.
"I don't think I'm 40!," he joked. "The moment you start looking at your age you start shaping accordingly," he said. Tendulkar made his debut way back on November 15, 1989 in a team captained by Krishnamachari Srikkanth as he now plays against his son Anirudha (Chennai Super Kings) in IPL.
"It's wonderful now to have Chika's son (Anirudha Srikkanth) playing against me (in Chennai Super Kings). Cricket is something that allows you to do something like that. Whatever happened to my life is only been because of cricket," he said. .

Mac mini review (2012)
The new mini brings USB 3.0, twice the standard RAM and optional hybrid storage. All told. you won't find another desktop this small, this powerful and this inexpensive.
- Attractive and compact designHigh-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 portsFusionDrive hybrid storage works intelligentlyAffordable price for the specs
- Intel HD 4000 GPU not ideal for true desktop gamingStill lacking optical drive
More Info Mac Mini updated in two new flavors, at $599 for i5 dual-core and $999 for i7 quad-core server model iFixit opens up new Mac Mini, has no trouble putting it all back together again Mac mini review (mid 2011) October 23rd was mostly the iPad mini's coming out party; an event with one major headliner. But that newborn product didn't enter Apple's ecosystem alone. Amidst the flurry of announcements, there was one other wee hardware relative on hand ready to join in on the launch festivities: a refreshed 2012 Mac mini. Addressing criticisms of last year's model, Apple added USB 3.0 ports, upgraded to third-generation Ivy Bridge Core processors and boosted the standard RAM allotment to 4GB (you can configure it with up to 16 gigs). Perhaps most interestingly, it's now offering a hybrid storage option, the so-called FusionDrive, which combines flash memory with a SATA HDD. One quirk still remains, though: the product's demographic leanings. Just who is the Mac mini for? Is it the go-anywhere, portable desktop best integrated in yachts, airports, automobiles and living rooms? Or, with a starting price of $599, is it the perfect, low-cost migration assistant (pun intended) for consumers making the switch from a Windows desktop? Follow on to see which hat this not-quite-an-HTPC wears best.

> Anybody put a 351W into a '59 Galaxie?
Just as said, old Y just died, and i have just rebuilt 302 with C4 in garage....what motor mounts to use, and how about tranny, do i have to modify crossmember heavily?
You can use'63-'64 Galaxie 289 motor mounts and the trans mount on the trans should work. If the original trans was a Cast Iron Cruiso you can probaly use the stock crossmember with little modification, the 2spd Fordomatic one will probably require some mods. I just did one in a '59 about a year and a half ago and it was a fairly easy swap. The frames from '57 -'64 are virtually the same.

PITTSBURGH--Three Panthers recorded double figures in kills to lead the University of Pittsburgh women's volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-18, 25-27, 25-22 and 25-17) victory over Duquesne at Fitzgerald Field House Wednesday night.
Senior Kiesha Leggs turned in a match-high 22 kills, while freshman Jessica Wynn collected a career-high 19. Sophomore Monica Wignot chipped in her sixth double-double of the season with 15 kills and 13 digs. Freshman Lindsey Zitzke notched her seventh double-double on the year with 58 assists and 13 digs.
"I was very impressed with tonight's match," head coach Toby Rens. "We had a set-high of 21 kills in the first game, which set the tone for the rest of the match. Offensively, several people stepped up including Lauren and Jessica with season's best in kills tonight."
The 74 team kills are most this season since Pitt put down 77 against Ohio on Sept. 13. The Panthers (17-12) served nine aces, while committing just one receiving error.
Defensively, freshman Delaney Clesen earned her second start as the libero. She posted a match-high 19 digs. As a team, Pitt recorded 71 passes and limited Duquesne (17-11) to 48 kills.
In the first set, Pitt boasted a .475 hitting percentage that was highlighted by 21 kills. Leggs tallied a game-high eight kills, while Wynn added another seven.
The Panthers led by as many as nine once, 19-10, following a kill from Wynn. Duquesne pulled within six twice, but a Leggs' kill finished the rally at 25-18.
In the second set, Duquesne led 12-10 before senior Lauren Hartman registered a kill. On the next volley, sophomore Brenea White added a kill to knot the frame. A few plays later, the Panthers went ahead two with consecutive kills from Hartman and Leggs.
Pitt held on to its two-point advantage after freshman Mechael Guess entered the match and put down a kill. Guess was one of eight Panthers to record a kill in the match this evening.
Duquesne would even the stanza at 22-22, but Hartman pounded a kill off a block to regain the lead. The two teams traded points through the next five serves. Tied at 25-25, the Panthers committed back-to-back attack errors to close the game and drop a 27-25 decision.
Zitzke collected 11 assists in the stanza, as Leggs and Hartman tallied four kills each. Leggs boasted 12 kills and was hitting at .611 after two games, while Clesen had 10 digs at that point.
In the third set, Pitt and Duquesne were tied at 17-17 when the Panthers earned a sideout. Wignot put down a kill to give the squad a cushion.
The Dukes cut the lead to one several times, but the Panthers would garner the win with three points on the final four possessions. Leggs and Wignot tallied set highs with five kills apiece. Zitzke tallied an assist on 16 of Pitt's 19 kills.
The Panthers trailed early in the fourth frame, but a kill from Wynn tied the contest at 13-13. Zitzke set junior Jasmine Dittrich for a kill a few plays later to put Pitt ahead, 18-15.
The Panthers stretched their lead to eight, 23-15, after Clesen served her 29th ace of the season. Duquesne rallied for two points, but Pitt sealed the victory with a kill from Leggs and an ace from junior Alexa Campbell. Leggs and Wignot contributed five kills each in the final game.
Tonight's match will be replayed on Pitt Panther Television (Comcast 188) on Sunday, Nov. 13.
Pitt hosts USF on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. Prior to the first serve, the Panthers will recognize seniors Kiesha Leggs and Lauren Hartman.
