NEW YORK—Louisville guards Peyton Siva and Russ Smith have led their Cardinals to wins in just about every fashion imaginable this season. On Thursday night in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals against Villanova, they found yet another way in a 74-55 victory.
For the first time all season, both of Louisville's 6-foot defensive dynamos made at least three 3-pointers in the same game. That's surprising, considering the duo has attempted 254 3s on the season.
"I would not have thought that," teammate Luke Hancock, who himself has emerged as a consistent threat from 3-point range. "They can both get hot quick. I figured they would have knocked a couple down in the same game."
NCAA SCOREBOARD: Big East Tournament results
They'd only made two in the same game once all season, a win over Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 18. That night, Siva was 2-for-3 from beyond the arc and Smith was 5-for-7 in a game the Cardinals won by 41 points. From that day forward, though, their good shooting games never converged. Until Thursday night, when Siva finished 3-for-6 from 3-point range and Smith was 4-for-6 as part of a 28-point masterpiece.
The Cardinals' reward for their impressive victory was a postgame visit from former president Bill Clinton.
"We exchanged numbers, and I told him I'd join the Secret Service after we're done playing in the Big East Tournament," Siva said with a laugh.
Of course, Siva was kidding. He didn't really promise to join anything, and he didn't get President Clinton's number, either.
"I tried, though," he said. "I had met him my sophomore year, and I was surprised he remembered me. He's just a great guy. It's really special to actually meet a former president. It was really a great honor."
Here's a scary thought for any team that might have to go through Louisville on the way to the Final Four in Atlanta: If Siva shoots like he has the past two games, the Cardinals are better than the 27-5 club that has an NCAA Tournament resume worthy of a No. 1 seed.
On the surface, Smith's big night was less surprising than Siva's. This was the fifth time this season Smith has made at least four 3-pointers, and he's made multiple 3s in 14 games. But the energetic one was playing with a heavy heart. He learned Thursday morning that his mentor and high school coach at Archbishop Molloy, Jack Curran, passed away at age 82.
"I just wanted to win and do anything I could to win," Smith said. "Today was definitely Coach Curran Day for me, and it will be for the rest of my life."
The 28 points were just three shy of his season-best, set against Missouri-Kansas City in December. This performance, on a bigger stage and under trying circumstances, was nothing short of amazing.
"I just told Russ we have to play this tournament and in the NCAA for coach Curran," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "It's very exciting that Russ could have that type of game and honor his coach like that."
Smith scored his 28 points by going 4-for-6 on 3-point attempts, 3-for-6 from 2-point attempts and 10-for-11 from the free-throw line. He also had two assists and two steals. This night was exceptional, of course, but not completely unexpected for a player averaging 17.9 points per game heading into Thursday.
Siva, on the other hand, is another story. Before going 3-for-6 from 3-point range in the regular-season finale against Notre Dame, Louisville's point guard had made just seven shots from beyond the arc in his previous 14 games. His shooting percentage from deep was a paltry 17.5 percent (7-for-40), but that stretch seems like a long time ago.
"I've just been shooting a lot more with confidence, just keeping my form consistent," Siva said. "Coach has guided me a couple times about that, just telling me to keep shooting."
Clearly, the Cardinals don't need Siva to make three 3-pointers a night to win games; their record on the season is just fine despite his 31.1 percent mark from long range. Hancock is an outstanding 3-point shooter, and Smith and Kevin Ware can get hot from beyond the arc, too.
But if Siva does emerge as a reliable option, the Cardinals are even more dangerous. Now, don't expect Pitino to start running all kinds of plays for Siva, but the Louisville offense creates all kinds of trouble for opponents and there are multiple occasions every game where Siva and the other perimeter players find clean looks.
"That just opens things up for him to create for everybody else," Hancock said. "If they have to guard Peyton all the way out to a deep 3, he's going to be able to get in and find stuff for other people. If he's shooting it well, we're dangerous."
If the Cardinals' pass-first, defensive-minded point guard starts knocking those opportunities down in March, Louisville might just be unbeatable.

Second game of a back-to-back and third game in four nights, all on the road. Sounds like a "schedule loss" to me...if you believe in such things, of course.

Second game of a back-to-back and third game in four nights, all on the road. Sounds like a "schedule loss" to me...if you believe in such things, of course.
As close to one as there can be. Utah is a very good team as well. Might be different if we were playing a bad team.
As a fan I don't expect to win this game, but I don't think it's impossible.
It would be a very tough game in the best of circumstances. In these circumstances, it's going to require a sublime effort.
If they win this, I may have to be talked down a bit to reality. Won't be able to help myself.
To answer the question though, yes this is a schedule loss. My guess is they stay with Utah for 3 quarters or so and run out of gas. That's completely understandable.
What I hope is they have something left for Phoenix on Friday, that seems more winnable.
Is Danny out with the flu? Might be good to see PG get some run with the second unit.
I expect to see some Dahntay tonight. That's my answer to the OP's question.
If we lose it certainly isn't worth the diving off the bandwagon that will likely happen.
Now, if we win, the wagon won't be big enough.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Yep. I suspect we won't win because of the minutes Danny played last night + Danny's flu + the scheduling context.
On the other hand I'm also not anticipating a definite loss - I might be a little surprised if we win given the circumstances, but not shocked. This is a nice change.
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
It probably is, but I will still let it ruin my night if we lose. I can't help it.
Passion. Pride. Patience. Pacers
* A very good team
* Opposite coast (sort of)
* Back to back
* 3rd game in 4 nights
* Utah last played at home, two days ago
Aren't they at somewhat of a higher elevation there, too? I know that's usually a Denver trait, but I thought I remembered that Salt Lake City is a bit up there, too.
I'd be stunned if we win this one.
All I know is that, nowadays, anything is possible with this team.
But we are still going to be gassed and tired.
I'm pretty sure they played at home on Monday. Not last night (Tuesday).
Sometimes a "schedule loss" doesn't happen until the "next game" or even the game after that. So we have a schedule loss coming up, might be tonight, could be Friday - the last game of a road trip is typically the toughest - but also beware of the first game back home - teams tend to relax after a long road trip
I think it is and I'm afraid the players might feel the same way. I think they might just take the night off and be ready to play in Phoenix Friday. I would probably take the 8.5 points though.
Right. That game is against a bad team (Toronto), too. Could easily be a big let down.
December is a tough month for us. We play a lot of good teams and do not meet many teams that are under 500.
That being said UTAH is a very good team. They have the weapons that hurt us in our vulnerable spots. I fully expect deron to have a 25-10 game. Paul Milsap will probably play out of his mind as well.
That being said we have to play in transition tonight. We cannot let this be a slow down game like the jazz like. DC has to use his speed and big roy has to have a monster game.
Rush cannot score 6 points and be okay with it.
The coach, on the other hand, might well decide to try to save Danny and some others for Friday, but that hasn't been his pattern in the past so I doubt it will happen unless the game goes out of reach.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Did you hear that he is? That would pretty much seal the deal.
Even if Danny is 100% this game is going to be really hard to win. If we pull it off though, they gotta put the Pacers in the top 5 for the next power rankings
If fatigue becomes a factor, what better time than to unleash a fresh Jeff Foster, D. Jones and maybe Lance? Even if this gives us a better chance at getting some guys some rest before the last road game of this swing...
I think the key is both the start of the game and the start of the 3rd quarter
We cant fall behind early becasue it will be tough to get back to even with the intelligence Utah plays with and the fact we have played 4 games in 6 nights or whatever
Also after the half, we have to contain. One thing I freakin loved about last nights game was the way we stomped out of the gate in the thir quarter
This is what quality teams do, think back to years pasts and how are achillies heel was always comming out of halftime and getting blown out in the third quarter
Sittin on top of the world!
One thing the Jazz don't do well...rebound.
One thing the Pacers do extremely well...rebound.
I'm not expecting a win, but I won't be surprised if we pull it out. (TWSS)
Although Williams in the post vs. Collison/Ford could get ugly.

Multiple reports are surfacing that the Colts have picked Chuck Pagano as their new Head Coach.
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2012/1/2...ltimore-ravensThe Indianapolis Colts coaching search appears to have settled on Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano. According to Pro Football Talk, the Colts have hired Pagano as their new head coach.
Pagano is coming off his first season as the Ravens defensive coordinator and the stats show he clearly did well as the Ravens finished third in both points and yards allowed.
Pagano first jumped from the college ranks to the NFL when he took a job with the Cleveland Browns in 2001 coaching the secondary. He held the same position in Oakland. He spent one season as North Carolina's defensive coordinator before returning to the NFL as the Ravens secondary coach.
Pagano was among a number of candidates who reportedly interviewed with the Colts including Jim Tressel, Jerry Gray and Brad Childress
Kravitz tweeted he is currently trying to confirm this report.

Molina out of Cards' lineup for 'mental' break
TORONTO -- Sensing growing frustration from Yadier Molina regarding his lack of recent offensive results and the team's overall poor play, manager Mike Matheny chose to unplug the veteran catcher from Saturday's lineup for what he described as a mental day off.
It was the second straight day that Molina was absent from behind the plate; he served as the team's designated hitter in Friday's series-opening loss.
"I think he's just beat down like a lot of guys are with the fact that we're not playing how we should play, how we want to play and how he wants to play," Matheny said. "I think it's more of just a frustration that is overbearing and overwhelming when you want to win so badly and you want to do your part so badly and none of it is working.
"I see he cares so much that it's beat him down. Anybody is susceptible to just being fried sometimes. … You take a guy with natural leadership characteristics, he wants to be the guy to make it all happen."
Lately, Molina has had a particularly tough time making much happen at the plate. He was hitting .330/.360/.477 entering the Cardinals' most recent homestand. His average has since dropped to .293, as Molina has hit .128 over the team's past 11 games, of which the Cardinals have won just three.
Molina had just one extra-base hit during that stretch and has hit into a fair amount of bad luck.
"We've been trying to help him push and grind through this," Matheny said. "At some point, you have to take a break and take a breath. It's investing into the future. That adds to his frustration, too, because when things aren't going well, the first thing he wants to do is jump in and keep fighting. "
Matheny said that he considered playing Molina at first base Saturday before eventually deciding that a full day off could be more beneficial. He had encouraged Molina to limit his pregame work, too, though the catcher was out taking batting practice with the club.
The Cardinals have been more proactive this season in giving Molina days off to help keep him physically strong deep into the season. That included reducing the amount of catching he did even in Spring Training. That preventive work seems to have benefited Molina from a physical standpoint thus far.

Banana Blueberry Muffins
I try to make muffins every weekend so that we have something healthy to eat for breakfast during the week. This weekend I had some VERY ripe bananas and some leftover blueberries (from when I made the white chocolate-blueberry cupcakes). I found this recipe in my WW recipes and we love it. We both agreed it's tied with the lemon berry muffins (recipe to come) for #1 for best muffin.
Banana blueberry Muffins – 2 WW pts – from www.prevention.com – serves 12
2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 c brown sugar – I used Splenda brown sugar mix
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin (I used paper liners)
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg whites, and vanilla.
Mix the banana mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Nutritional Information (please double check with your ingredients and serving sizes – I use this recipe calculator)
1 muffin: 129.6 Calories, 0.5 g Fat, 0.0 mg Cholesterol, 189.5 mg Sodium, 144.4 mg Potassium, 26.7 g Carbs, 3.1 g Dietary Fiber, 0.7 g Sugar, 4.0 g Protein

These look great! I will definitely be giving them a try.
Very much looking forward to making these!!
Yum, these are fantastic!! Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
I am so excited to see someone else making these! I have a different blueberry banana bread that I've used for years – it's the Christmas gift that all my friends, co-workers, and family look forward to. I spend most of December baking, freezing batches as I go, so when it's time to give them, I just set them out the night before, then wrap in foil with red ribbon.

Also preceding him in death were two special aunts, Tabitha Arrington Ferguson and Elizabeth Arrington Kennedy.He was so proud of his large family and is survived by wife Joyce Bobo Barry, the "love of his life;" daughters Janice (Larry) Lloyd of Franklin, and Susie (Ed) James of Lebanon and son Bill Hunt of Lebanon.Also surviving are six grandchildren Tim (Susan) Lloyd, Adam (Shelley) Lloyd, Christopher (Trish) Bay, Chelsea Bay, Shane Craft, and Shelby Hunt; and five great-grandchildren Joshua, Caleb, Rebekah, Benjamin and Andrew Lloyd. The Barry name in Wilson County is synonymous with a number of business institutions including the prominent Barry-Carter Milling Co., which following World War II became a business division of Martha White Flour.Started in 1929 and located on South Cumberland Street, Barry-Carter Milling was co-owned by Mr. Barry's family. The business is now operated as Shenandoah Mills. A lifelong resident of Lebanon, Mr. Barry was a graduate of Castle Heights Military Academy and Vanderbilt University where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.Enlisting in the Army at age 18, he served with the 13th Armored Division, the "Black Cat Division," as a radio operator in a Tank Battalion during World War II and was deployed to the European theater serving initially in France and later in Austria. He recalled in a 1995 newspaper article that on "the day before V-E Day, our division had taken Braunau, Austria, birthplace of Hitler. On V-E Day, I had the luxury of sleeping inside a chicken coop. It was so much better than sleeping outside on the ground as usual."Even before his service in the military Mr. Barry had begun to develop an interest in the big band sound of dance music. While a cadet at Castle Heights, he organized his own orchestra that played at several academy formals. And later at Vanderbilt University, Mr. Barry again compiled an orchestra that performed at university dances and other events. Returning home after the war, Mr. Barry began his pursuit of what became a successful career in the radio and broadcasting industry.His first efforts to join the radio industry as an owner came while he was a student at Vanderbilt when he attempted to secure an AM radio station for Lebanon. At the time he was working on-air at WGNS radio in Murfreesboro. In 1957 he and a business partner acquired WSOK-FM in Nashville and later changed the call letters to WFMB. In 1965 the station was sold to the Life and Casualty Insurance Company which subsequently changed its call letters to WLAC-FM.Mr. Barry played a key role in launching Nashville public radio station WPLN-FM and maintained ownership in other Nashville area stations including WAMB, WMAK, and WZEZ. He also helped others acquire radio stations and licenses for operations. His daughter Susie James owns and operates Lebanon stations WANT-FM and WCOR-AM. Remembered for his knowledge of the entire business from the microphone, to the engineering room. In 1994 Mr. Barry was presented the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters "Distinguished Service Award," the organization's highest honor. His accomplishments were again recognized in 2012 when the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame presented him its first "Lifetime Achievement Award." Mr. Barry often took lead roles in a number of local causes. He believed an education to be a precious gift and supported public education locally and also supported Cumberland University and Friendship Christian School. Always a dapper dresser, frequently donning plaid sport coats, dark blue and camel blazers with accompanying brilliantly colored silk ties, he remained engaged in his profession and the community until shortly before his death. He was a lifelong, faithful and active member of College Street/College Hills Church of Christ. Ligon and Bobo Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Visitation with family is scheduled to be at Ligon and Bobo Funeral Home between the hours of 3-7 p.m. Wednesday and from 12 Noon until service time Thursday at College Hills Church of Christ.Services will be conducted by Dr. Larry Locke. Active pallbearers include: Larry Lloyd, Bill Hunt, Ed James, Randy Newman, Tim Lloyd, Adam Lloyd, Christopher Bay, Gary Brown and Martin Silva.Honorary pallbearers: Jay Barry, Allen Barry, Sedwin Kennedy, Dr. Jim Hundley, Randall Newman, Bart Walker, Miles Smith, Hubert Clemons, Dr. John Hamilton, the staff of WAMB, WANT and WCOR radio.It is requested that in lieu of flowers that contributions be made to College Hills Church of Christ or the Castle Heights Alumni Association.

Research to Remember
A study ruled out breastfeeding as a means for mother-infant transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Breastmilk samples and serum samples from 73 breastfeeding mothers with HCV were taken within approximately one week of each other. Serum samples from the women's 76 newborns were taken during the first week of life and again when they were between one and three months old. All the infants were breastfed. All maternal serum was found positive for HCV antibodies; none of the breastmilk samples were confirmed positive for HCV RNA. Seventy-five of the infants tested negative with each test, and one tested positive for HCV RNA at 27 days old. It took three to 28 months for the infants to lose maternal antibodies.

Prenatal Exercise
During pregnancy, the weight of the growing uterus causes the spine to overload every day. The stretching pelvis adds risk of injury to the spine, and also weakens core muscles. Building core stability is essential before, during and after pregnancy. The "core" consists of all the muscles that support the spine. "Stability" refers to the capacity of the body to maintain and/or return to a state of equilibrium.
With repetitive strain and injury to deep muscles, as well as weak abdominal muscles, the body compensates by developing movement patterns to protect the injured muscles and restore equilibrium. Instead of stimulating the deep muscles to provide stability to the spine, the nervous system recruits the superficial muscles. This can lead to muscular tension, further injury and weakening of the core. To change the pattern, an individual must increase awareness and move the spine slowly and consciously. This activates the movement centers of the brain and helps retrain the deep muscles to become the first responders in establishing core stability.
As long as the spine is aligned and deep muscles activated, weight is evenly distributed through each spinal disc, which is the ideal shock-absorbing position. In this way, the spine can carry heavy loads without damage.
Deep muscles typically form bundles, which attach from one vertebra to another, from one vertebra to several vertebrae or from the vertebra to the rib cage. Small muscles located close to the bone exert little force and are constantly working to maintain or recover proper alignment. Located closer to the skin, superficial muscles are larger and more powerful and span greater distances than deep muscles. Superficial muscles in the torso help perform large movements requiring full range of motion as well as actions of the spine. Many people have back problems because they have underdeveloped deep muscles in the torso. When a person with underdeveloped deep muscles tries to maintain an erect posture, the superficial muscles take over, which causes them to spasm or create discomfort.
The following yoga poses for expectant and new moms will strengthen and stabilize the core as well as reduce lower back discomfort.
Hugging Baby
Rounded Cat Stretch
Child's Pose
Balancing Sunbird
Sitting Spinal Twists
Editor's Note: This article by Bonnie Berk, RN, discusses in detail the lumbar spine, including the functions of psoas and abdominal muscles; the thoracic spine, and cervical spine. It also includes more yoga poses. Because of space limitations in this newsletter, this information was not included in this issue. The entire article is found in Midwifery Today Issue 59
Four major muscle groups comprise the front abdominal wall: the rectus abdominis, the outermost muscle that runs down the middle from breastbone to pubis; the external obliques, which run downward from the rib cage to the pelvis; the internal obliques, which cross underneath the externals and run diagonally upward from the pelvis to the rib cage; and the transverse abdominis, the deepest abdominal muscle that wraps like a corset around the middle.
The rectus abdominis is the main support system for the back. During pregnancy, the muscle changes in two ways. First, it elongates as a result of pressure from the expanding uterus. Then, conversely, the lower back muscles become shorter, which can cause backaches. The pressure of the uterus against the rectus abdominis may cause a diastasis—a separation of the muscle at or around the navel.
It is very important that women do abdominal exercises correctly; otherwise, the diastasis can become larger. Not all pregnant women get a diastasis, as is commonly believed, nor does it automatically go back together after birth.
Before a mother can strengthen the transverse abdominis in preparation for pushing, she must learn how to use the transverse muscle while breathing. With belly breaths, air is taken in through the nose, expanding the belly (transverse muscle goes forward). The air is then exhaled through the mouth as the belly (transverse) is brought in to the spine. Each exercise should begin with a belly breath so the transverse muscle is pulled in on the exhale, or working, part of the exercise.
The Elevator
Sit cross-legged on the floor or in a chair with support; the back should not move during these exercises. Because the action of the muscle is forward and backward, it works best to imagine the transverse muscle as a sideways elevator with five floors, using the belly button as the focal point. First floor is when the transverse is in a relaxed position; fifth floor is when the belly button "touches" the spine. When doing the exercise, remember to count because it forces one to exhale, which in turn forces one to breathe. The exercise begins with a belly breath, then the belly button is brought toward the spine where it is held for a count of 30. Close the eyes and visualize the belly button going out the back of the spine, or to the sixth floor, for the count of five. Conclude the exercise with another belly breath.
Contracting (Squeeze and Release)
Bring the transverse to the third floor. Then pull the belly button back from the third floor to the fifth floor. The emphasis is on the backward, squeezing, movement. Begin by doing 25 of these exercises, and work up to 100 repetitions three to five times daily. A set of 100 should take about one and a half minutes.
While doing this exercise, women can put one hand on their bellies and one hand on their backs; they should feel the exercise in their backs. When they become stronger, they should try to make the movement smaller by bringing the transverse from fourth floor to fifth floor. By delivery time, they should be able to pull the belly button from the fifth floor to the sixth floor 100 times, at least five times daily.
The transverse is attached to the recti, so every time clients do the contracting exercise they bring the recti back and together. It's important that the transverse be in or at the fifth floor, on the work of everything the women do. For example, when standing they can bring the belly button to fifth floor and hold it there. This not only strengthens the transverse and recti but also prevents any diastasis from becoming larger.
Caution: if women are doing something and cannot hold the transverse muscle at fifth floor, they shouldn't be doing that particular activity.

Forum Talk
I am hoping for a homebirth, but an ultrasound at 17 weeks indicated partial placenta previa. In my first pregnancy I was told I had low-lying placenta and that it wasn't a big deal. Is partial previa the same as low-lying placenta? My homebirth midwife doesn't seem too concerned, but she wants to look at a copy of the u/s report and plans to have another scan at 30 weeks. Does this mean there's a good chance the placenta won't migrate, or is she just being careful? How far away from the cervix does the placenta need to be in order to have an uncomplicated vaginal delivery?

Question of the Week
Q: I have a client who is 32 weeks pregnant and has developed mild choleostasis. She now has it under control with the help of herbs, B vitamins (choline), Sam-e and improved nutrition. Most studies regarding the relationship of stillbirth and fetal distress to this condition seem vague. Has anyone worked with choleostasis, and if so, what have the outcomes been?

Question of the Week Responses
Q: What experiences have midwife readers had with shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injuries? What techniques have you used successfully and unsuccessfully to relieve shoulder dystocia? Have you ever seen a brachial plexus injury where there was no shoulder dystocia, the delivery was textbook, but still an injury?
— Tanya
A: I have seen a brachial plexus injury without dystocia one time as a labor and delivery nurse. There are some theories out there that some brachial plexus injuries occur before birth.
Regarding dystocia techniques, if I expect a large baby, I talk to the mom before pushing and let her know that after the head delivers I want her to keep pushing unless there is a nuchal cord or meconium. I don't let the shoulders restitute if I can help it, as restitution makes the diameter slightly larger. When I think the baby is large, I rarely suction because most babies don't need it. Even if there is a nuchal cord, often times the mom can push the anterior shoulder under the pubic bone before restitution, and then you can have her stop pushing and reduce the cord. This method has worked well for me so far. However, reality is that you often cannot predict a dystocia and have to rely on standard maneuvers to resolve it.
— Julie Butts, CNM, Coos Bay, Oregon
A: While evaluating [the Pink Kit] I began to try out positions on my own to see which position I felt more "open" in. I discovered several positions that I feel sure would have opened my own vagina and changed my own shape enough to let my son pass through uninjured. Each mother and baby have unique sizing and fits and will require a positional change unique to that very moment. Hands and knees and standing are two of the positions I have seen used in dystocia resolution without injury.
Confidence and flexibility are essential. Of course, a more experienced midwife should share about the next step in resolution if positional changes do not work.
It is my understanding that breaking the clavicle allows for passage of the shoulder and leaves only a broken bone which will heal, as opposed to a lifelong injury.
Dystocia resolution is near and dear to me—thank you for asking this question. I look forward to reading replies and can offer mother-to-mother support to anyone with a child who has experienced a brachial plexus injury (Erbs Palsy).
— Mary Rainer, homebirth assistant, Fort Pierce, Florida email@example.com
The Pink Kit can be ordered.
A: In case of shoulder dystocia one shoulder is caught above the pelvic bony inlet. The length of the conjugata vera can be increased by 3/4 inch by stretching the hip joints, like when a woman is standing in a straight up standing position. This also guarantees the baby's own weight taking care of its body coming down without any pulling on the neck and brachial nerve. It comes from a very old technique by which a woman is laid hanging backward over the edge of a table with her legs hanging down freely. The Arabs in Spain some 500 years ago were familiar with it as a method to widen the pelvic inlet in order to promote engagement of the baby's head. Later when the English came to Spain they called it the Walcher's Position. Nowadays it has become rare when there are ample facilities to have a cesarean section. The true Walcher's Position is very uncomfortable of course, but the idea is to illustrate that one still can play with the measurements of the pelvic inlet in order to resolve a shoulder dystocia without doing any harm to either mother or baby.

Think about It
Midwifery is a spiritual act. Being with woman is more than just a physical presence. It requires attending to and respecting the magnificent energy and holiness at every birth.
Midwifery is a social act. Being with woman often involves members of the birthing mother's family, her partner's family as well as friends.
Midwifery is a multicultural act. Women from many different cultures call on a midwife for assistance. A midwife may be asked to participate in birthing ceremonies such as sprinkling water from the Ganges River on the baby's head as it emerges into the world or "laying hands" on the pregnant belly as God is called upon to be present.
Midwifery is a physical act. The physicality of birthing and assisting with birthing is second to none. There is blood, sweat and tears. There is grunting, moaning, pushing, holding, supporting, watching and waiting.
Midwifery is an emotional act. I have never been so deeply touched as I have with my own birthings and those I have had the blessing to attend, either as midwife, assistant, nurse, photographer or friend.
Midwifery is an act of faith. It is faith in the ability of a woman's body to do what it was created to be able to do and faith in the process of birth itself.

Deadline Approaching to Enter Big Time Texas Hunts Drawing
Entry deadline is Oct. 15
AUSTIN – The Lone Star State has a lot of land that's primed for hunting and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is offering outdoors enthusiasts the chance to win several hunts of a lifetime.
TPWD's Big Time Texas Hunts program offers hunters the opportunity to win one or more of seven prime guided hunting packages in the state, all of which include food and lodging, and some include taxidermy. The premier package of the program is the Texas Grand Slam hunt that includes four separate hunts for each of Texas' most prized big game animals: the desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn antelope.
Other hunting packages available in Big Time Texas Hunts include opportunities to pursue alligator, upland game birds, exotic big game and waterfowl.
Linda Campbell, TPWD public hunting program director, said each of the seven adventures in Big Time Texas Hunts is a rare opportunity to participate in a guided hunt on some of the best land in the state.
"Our hunts are held on private lands, high quality ranches with great amenities, and on a number of our premier wildlife management areas," she said. "The hunts are fully guided and the food and lodging is top notch. We try to provide memorable overall hunting experiences."
Entries for the Big Time Texas Hunts are $9 if purchased online and $10 if purchased at a license retailer or over the phone at 800-895-4248. Online purchases will include a $5 convenience charge per transaction, meaning hunters can buy as many entries as they wish online for one low fee.
"These are really high quality hunting experiences for a low entry price," said Carly Montez, TPWD marketing coordinator.
The deadline to enter the year's Big Time Texas Hunts is Oct. 15, and there is no limit to the number of entries an individual may purchase. Entrants must be at least 17 years of age to enter.
Purchasers do not have to have a hunting license to enter the contest, but must have a valid license before going on a hunt if they win a package.
Big Time Texas Hunts generates an average of $750,000 each year for TPWD with the proceeds supporting public hunting, wildlife management and research and habitat conservation.
Here is a breakdown of each of the Big Time Texas Hunts offerings:
- The Texas Grand Slam – This is the hunt of a lifetime. The Texas Grand Slam offers one lucky winner four separate Texas big game hunts: desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope and desert mule deer. This hunting package also includes food, lodging, taxidermy provided by Woodbury's of Ingram and professional guide service for all four hunting trips. TPWD only issues two to three bighorn sheep public hunting permits a year. This is the chance to be one of the few able to have a bighorn sheep hunting opportunity. The bighorn sheep hunt takes place on one of Texas' outstanding wildlife management areas. The white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope and desert mule deer hunts will be on some of the most exclusive private ranches in Texas. The Texas Grand Slam winner may also bring along a non-hunting companion to share in this awesome trip.
- Texas Premium Buck Hunt – This is the ultimate deer hunting opportunity. Experience the thrill of pursuing a mature trophy white-tailed buck in the rugged South Texas brush country. One winner and a guest will enjoy one of the finest deer hunting trips that Texas can offer. Professional guide service, food and accommodations are included to provide each hunter comfort and great hunting.
- Texas Waterfowl Adventure – One Texas Waterfowl Adventure winner and up to three invited guests will win a series of three exciting waterfowl hunting trips. The hunts are located on some of the best waterfowl areas in Texas. Trips include a Coastal Prairies guided hunt for snows, blues and white-fronted geese; a guided duck hunt in the Coastal Marshes; and a hunt for wood ducks and mallards in East Texas.
- Texas Whitetail Bonanza – Ten Texas Whitetail Bonanza winners will each get to experience a high-quality white-tailed deer hunt on popular Texas ranches, the Chaparral Wildlife Management Area and the Gene Howe Wildlife Management Area. Hunting guide service, food and lodging are provided on these 3- to 5-day hunting trips. Each hunting package winner can bring a hunting companion as well.
- Texas Exotic Safari – Two winners will experience the thrill of hunting African exotic game in Texas on the famous Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Winners can take advantage of two exotic hunting opportunities for species including sable antelope, gemsbok oryx, scimitar-horned oryx or axis deer. Hunters may choose to use a modern rifle, muzzleloader, bow and arrow; or crossbow. Winners can also bring along a companion to hunt exotic animals. Food and lodging will be provided as part of the hunting package at the scenic Mason Mountain WMA lodge. Taxidermy is provided for the two winners. Proceeds will benefit wildlife conservation and research on Mason Mountain WMA.
- Texas Big Time Bird Hunt – One Texas Big Time Bird Hunt winner will enjoy unique hunting trips for upland game birds. You and up to three of your friends will enjoy two days of quail hunting, two days of pheasant hunting in the Panhandle and two afternoons of dove hunting. One guest can also join you for a two-day guided hunt for spring turkey. Food, guide service and lodging are included on each bird-hunting trip, and pointing dogs are provided for quail and pheasant hunts.
- Texas Gator Hunt – One winner and a guest will enjoy a rare and unique 3-day hunting trip pursuing legendary Texas alligators at the J.D. Murphee Wildlife Management Area on the Gulf Coast. Each alligator hunt allows the hunters to harvest one trophy alligator. All necessary equipment, expert guides, lodging and hide removal are included in the hunting package. The Texas Gator Hunt winner and guest will also be treated to an airboat tour of the marsh to view alligators.

Power-assisted accessories on automobiles were first introduced to consumers in the 1930's. The ability to move convertible tops up and down by means other than human efforts was initially conceptualized and developed by the Chrysler Corporation. A vacuum-operated convertible top on the Plymouth brand was the first to be offered to the general public. Power windows were the next power assisted accessories to hit the market, and were introduced shortly thereafter in the 1940s. The idea behind power accessories was strictly practical in nature, allowing consumers to operate their vehicles with minimal time and physical effort. It was easier and less time consuming to flip a switch and raise your windows, lower your convertible top and adjust your door mirrors, thus providing a potentially safer car to operate while on the road. For many, an obsession with automobile power accessories is a major factor on their choice of vehicle.
From an early age, Terry Anderson has maintained a fascination with power windows and other electric accessories on cars. He remembers being five or six years old inside a 1950's era Cadillac, and wanting to put down the window. The owner of the car instructed him to just push the button to let the window down. From that press of the button, Terry vowed to have power windows in his first car.
When he was 16 years old, he got his first car, a 1960 Mercury Comet. After little deliberation, he decided that the first things that needed to be removed were the door handles. Terry bought a "door popper" kit and a "trunk popper" kit for the Comet. Since the door and trunk kits were relativity easy to put in, Terry wanted to install power windows. He mentioned this modernization idea about the Comet to his dad. His dad asked if he knew anyone that could do it, and an eager Terry told him that he wanted to try it on his own. Terry had no electrical training, save for one class he took while in the 8th grade. Terry's dad was working at a Ford dealership at the time, and one day came home with a box of power window parts he removed from some scrap doors in the dealership's body shop. Terry laid out all the parts and began matching up the items. From the parts his father brought home, he found two complete power window sets. The driver's side was the first side Terry attempted to install the upgrade in. The window did raise, but not in as smooth a manner as it should have. After doing the passenger's side and achieving great success, he saw what he initially did wrong and went back to the driver's side and fixed it. Both windows went up and down quietly and very smoothly. Terry was hooked on the process, and was soon commissioned into doing power windows for his friends. Not bad for a sixteen year old high school kid with no formal electrical or automotive training.
One day while Terry was at school, he was getting dressed in the locker room and overheard two guys talking about a car that went up and down with the help of hydraulics. He thought to himself, "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of." "Why in the world would anyone want their car to go up and down?," he wondered. A couple of weeks later as Terry was coming out of school, a dark blue 1963 Chevy Impala was passing the school. The body was stock but it was rolling on Astro Supremes. As he was admiring the car, something magical happened which would become a momentous thing in his life. Cruising at about five miles per hour the front end of the Impala went all the way down to the ground! It didn't stop there; the back end of the car went all the way down too! At that point, at that very moment; Terry was hooked. The religion of Lowriding had just gained another disciple.
Six months later, the Comet was lifted. Terry went over to Paley's Surplus on East Vernon in Los Angeles and bought a Pesco pump, dump valve and a check valve for $26. These parts were for the front of the car. Terry still needed to find parts for the rear end of the car ,and as luck would have it, he came up on the parts he needed when a local Lowrider guy needed to sell them to get some quick cash. Terry then went to "Old Man" Al Sullivan down on 8th avenue in Los Angeles, and had him cut the holes in the Comet and put in a bridge in the back. Terry and his buddy Stan then put wooden blocks in the car and drove it back to his house. After two or three days, the guys got the car sorted out and the Comet would finally go up and down. The next day, a proud Terry drove the newly lifted Comet to school, and dragged it all the way down the street in front of Los Angeles' Dorsey High, somehow managing to put a hole in the oil pan. It was okay, that was just a rite of passage into becoming a Lowrider.
After proving his genuine enthusiasm for the lifestyle, Terry was now hanging out with a lot of the older local Lowrider guys in his neighborhood. Veteran guys like Carl Watson and Carl's uncle took a shine to young Terry, and he also became a regular at the local hang out spots. There were not too many Lowrider car shows, however, RG Canning and ISCA were doing huge shows at the time, and they welcomed Lowriders. Despite that support, Lowriding still remained a primarily street lifestyle. Not long after his high school years, Terry was married and started his family. He decided to take a break from Lowriding, in order to help his wife raise their family and concentrate on the fiberglass business he had started.
The hiatus didn't last long for Terry. He had started to attend the Lowrider shows at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood California with his family, and he was seeing more and more Lowriders in his neighborhood. The image of Gypsy Rose going across the screen during opening credits of the show "Chico and the Man," and the subsequent release of the cult classic "Boulevard Nights" were tempting for Terry to ignore. He was ready to jump back into Lowriding, and his first order of business was find a car to work on. The Comet had been reverted into stock condition and used for daily transportation for a few years before Terry finally sold it.
Car-less, a determined Terry was hunting for a unique ride, as he promised himself that if he ever built another Lowrider, it was going to be a one-of-a-kind ride. The two potential cars that Terry decided to search for were either a 1960 Pontiac, or 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxy, and he decided that whichever model he found first would become his next Lowrider. One day in December of 1977, Terry was driving down a local boulevard in his work truck, when he spotted a '60 Pontiac with a crashed front end sitting in front of a body shop. Terry slammed on his brakes and got out to talk to the owner. He asked the owner if he wanted to sell the Pontiac. The owner said "sure, I'll sell it to you for a $125 dollars." While they were talking, Terry spotted a front end for the Pontiac in perfect condition sitting up against a wall. In his best "south central game" Terry asked the man, "now the front end comes with the car right?!" The owner responded to Terry with exactly what he wanted to hear; "yeah, no problem!"
Terry immediately went home and picked up the money for the car. He paid for the car and got a receipt. Putting the front end on his work truck, he brought it home, intending to send out a tow truck to pick up the actual car. He took a picture of the car as soon as it was set in front of the house, and got to work on it that night. After about three or four months of working on the car, Terry had the replacement front end on the car and the car was in running condition. Thankfully, both the car and the replacement front end were white in color, so a new paint job could wait for a while. This gave him the chance to lift the car, not an easy task, as it had been about ten years since Terry last lifted a car. Everything went in the car smoothly, but the cylinders he was using were too thin. He went over to Otto's Hydraulics and met Hydraulic Legend Ted Wells, who promptly sold him some new style cylinders and then mounted some Tru Spokes on the car.
The car was now at a point where Terry had it on the streets and it was attracting a lot of attention. He was the talk of the town, and people were wondering who this "older guy" was with the funny looking car. In the late 1970's, Terry was considered an "older guy" in Lowriding, even though he was only in his late twenties. One day on his way home, he stopped at an intersection. Across the way there was a group of guys who happened to have Low riders. They all stopped and stared, breaking out in laughter at Terry and the Pontiac. As Terry started to enter the intersection, he let the back down and they stopped laughing. He then let the front down and their mouths dropped down even lower than his Pontiac. He opened the trunk from inside the car and they all went crazy! Leaving the youngsters cheering behind him, Terry continued home, but decided to go back and talk to the group. Soon after this conversation, they were all friends and started hanging out at the local Church's Chicken on Sunday nights, as well as a few other local hang out spots.
After some body work, a paintjob, and some other minor enhancements, Terry entered his first Lowrider car show. In 1980, Terry drove up to Fresno, California with the Pontiac which was now freshly painted and christened "Lo 'N Sol," to attend a car show put on by the car club Thee Individuals. He took home four trophies from the show, and felt a great sense of accomplishment. Terry won first in his class, best interior, best sixties, and best hydraulics, virtually sweeping the major categories he was eligible for. From then on, Terry hit every car show he could. Whether he brought his car or not, he just wanted to be a part of the Lowriding culture. Terry and his Pontiac were unique in the scene, which helped him get into shows like the very popular ISCA shows that were being produced at the time. Soon people were referring to the Pontiac as "The Robot Car" because of the many different movements and animated items on the car. The car going up and down, the record player going in and out of the glove box, and the trunk opening remotely were getting Terry a lot of positive attention. Terry and the car were at their third show in Bakersfield, California when Larry Gonzales was covering the show for Lowrider Magazine. He and Terry set up a photo shoot, and the car was featured in the January 1981 issue of Lowrider Magazine.
The feature in the magazine got Terry and the Pontiac more attention, and soon he was being invited to shows like Johnny Lazoya's Phoenix show. One year, Lowrider Magazine invited Terry to their show in El Paso, Texas. Terry obliged, and he and his brother loaded up the car and headed to Texas. They got into town the Friday before the show, and while driving down the main drag in El Paso, a man drove up on the side of them. He asked what they were doing in town. They explained to him that they were there for the Lowrider Magazine show. Feeling like the bearer of bad tidings, the man broke the news to them that the show date had been changed and pushed back. Terry didn't believe him initially, so they pulled over and he showed them the Lowrider Magazine that had just hit the newsstand with the date change. Frustrated, Terry thought to himself, "If I would have bought the magazine before I left California, I would have not made the drive all the way to Texas!" Terry called Lowrider Magazine's Sonny Madrid back in California, and he confirmed what they had just heard, the date had been pushed back. Sonny convinced Terry to leave the car at a local shop in El Paso, which they did, and he and his brother returned to Los Angeles. To Sonny's credit, he reimbursed Terry and his brother for their travel expenses. The following week, Terry and his brother returned to El Paso and were awarded the trophy for longest distance, having easily earned that award by driving back and forth from California to Texas twice. Terry continued to travel to car shows for a few years and collect trophies, but after a while the Pontiac was retired and put in storage, so that he could concentrate on his expanding power window business.
For the next few years while working and running his fiberglass business, Terry was installing power windows for friends after he closed up his shop. He would come home from work and do the power window installations in his own driveway. After a while, the fiberglass business was becoming too costly to operate, so he decided to do the power window installations full time. In the early 1980's, a lot of Lowriders were coming to him for power windows, much to his delight, as he was working on anything and everything. There was a lot of trial and error and Terry made sure to document what components worked with each model of car. As his reputation grew, his customer base grew as well.
Once in a while a customer would ask Terry to install a "door popper" kit or a "trunk popper" kit, and since Terry had experience with these types of installations, it was no problem. As the years past, remote control accessories became very popular and Terry was able to accommodate almost every request, including remote sunroofs, door poppers, and hydraulics. Soon people were asking Terry if he could automate items in their cars. His Pontiac already had an automated glove box that was a hit, with not only the car show judges, but his fellow Lowriders as well. Soon he was making custom seat tracks, automating glove boxes, and panels built to conceal audio equipment. All of his work had been through referrals and word of mouth promotion. He has never had to do any advertising. Terry has worked on a lot of the top Lowriders and some of his customers' cars have been featured in Custom Rodder, Rod & Custom, and Lowrider Magazine. Terry and the Pontiac were also featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times in May of 1984. In 1993, Terry was profiled in Lowrider Magazine's Legend of Lowriding series.
After hundreds of installations, Terry had his power window installations and electronic installations down to a science. The attention to detail he puts into his work stands out, and gets him noticed by those who want the best at any cost. Terry has never had to tell a customer that he could not do a job, even under the toughest of circumstances, and he has no plans of slowing down, either. Terry has vowed that he will keep doing the installations for as long as he can.
Even though Terry has not had the Pontiac out in years, he still attends shows and has plans to build a couple more cars. We can be sure that whatever model he decides on next, the finished result will be just as unique as his Pontiac was. When asked to sum up his career in Low- riding, and his thoughts on Lowriding overall, Terry had this to say; "I wouldn't trade my life for any life." His sincerity rings true, as he continues, "I would do it again and again [for] as long as I can. I want to be the 90 year-old guy some youngsters walking into the car show see and say, 'who's that with that Lowrider?' The guy looks like he's 90 years old! And someone says to them, he is 90 years old, and let me sit you down and tell you who he is." Even though he laughs at this thought, his love for the culture is very serious. "I don't want people to say what a great guy I am, but to say how long I have been doing this," he says. "Low riding has come a long way since I started in the 60's…We have now advanced to the point where we are [on] almost equal footing with antiques, hot rods and other types of auto enthusiasts," he explains. "This is a work in progress, and I am proud to be a part of it…Lowriding has enhanced my life, and because of my love of Lowriding, I have been fortunate enough to turn something that I love into something that I can make a living at. That makes me a very lucky man." In reality, it is Lowrider Culture that has been lucky. We are lucky enough to have an artist and craftsman like Terry Anderson dedicate his life to being a part of this culture that we are all passionate about.

Baffins Milton Rovers 5 Overton United 0.
Hants League Cup semi-final.
Overton United's dream of a Hampshire Premier League and Cup double disappeared on Tuesday night when they were outgunned by title rivals Baffins Milton Rovers in the League Cup semi-final, held at Liss Athletic's Newman Collard Playing Fields.
It was a sad end to the cup run but inevitable within 25 minutes as Ollie Watts gave his side a 2-0 lead and they were never seriously threatened after that.
Having suffered an awkward rush hour journey to the game, Overton struggled to settle and within four minutes were a goal down as keeper Sean O'Brien parried a dipping shot and Wells reacted first to net from five yards. Myles Englefield's shot was saved at the other end following a neat move involving Danny Houseman and Chris Lavisher but on 25 minutes Watts shot from distance at the ball squirmed under O'Brien and rolled into the net.
James McCallion denied George Pharoah with a superb last gasp tackle but seconds after the break the tie was effectively all over as from a long throw Jason Parrish made it 3-0.
Nathan Rae brought a fine save out of Tony Male as Overton enjoyed a brief spell of dominance but just past the hour Blu Boam's pace and strength provided Parrish with his second and Baffins' fourth.
Lavisher went close as Overton looked for some crumbs of comfort but they were denied them and with ten minutes left substitute Danny Rimmer waltzed through and sold an outrageous dummy before netting the fifth.
Joint boss Jamie Fewtrell said after: "Baffins matched us and seemed to have the upper hand every time Overton lost possession.
'We worked hard but made too many mistakes in the wrong areas of the pitch which gave Baffins two more goals and there was no way back.
'Overton were not at their best tonight and Baffins thoroughly deserved to win the game."

Lepton Highlanders 1 Steeton 1
Steeton were left grateful for a late Graham Holmes goal to salvage a point in a less-than-convincing performance.
With six regulars missing, Steeton were forced to shuffle the pack against the struggling hosts, with Andy Foster and George Sellars coming into the starting XI.
With the wind and driving rain not helping their cause, Phil Rishton had to be alert to tip the ball over the bar, while, at the other end, Andy Holden forced a flying save.
Danny McNulty and Josh Ferguson were working well on the left, and McNulty crossed for Andy King, who just failed to keep his header the right side of the bar.
Lepton were looking for a quick ball over the top. However, Steeton were rare-ly troubled but needed to play at a quicker tempo.
In the second period, the home side took an early lead, Nick Robinson neatly flicking the ball over Rish-ton.
This seemed to spur Stee-ton on as Tim Hird flashed a shot wide and Holmes appeared to be man-handled in the box, but the referee waved away their appeals.
Holden smashed another effort wide and, with time running out, it looked as if it was going to be a frustrating day.
But Michael Rhodes' over-lapping runs finally paid off as his cross was deflected for a corner, and, from the re-sulting kick, Holmes head-ed the equaliser, despite the best efforts of the keeper.
Steeton had a couple of opportunities to win it, Rhodes' cross striking the top of the bar and Hird firing over from Foster's pull-back.
The visitors will be disappointed with a point as they know they can perform much better.
This Saturday, they entertain Littletown before heading to Woodlesford a week today to face Goole United in the semi-final of the West Riding County FA Chall-enge Cup (7.30pm).
Steeton have already filled one coach and are now selling tickets for a second.
They are £7 and are available from The Old Star, Steeton Newsagents, Keigh-ley Liberal Club and the Soldier and Sailors Club.
Steeton: Rishton, Rhodes, Ferguson, Sellars, Foster, Ogalbe (Denton), Holden, Hird, McNulty, Holmes, King.
* Ross Chapman, Euan Sessford and Martin Bland gave Steeton Reserves a 3-0 lead in Division One at home to Lower Hopton but the visitors hit back to win 5-3.

AFC Wimbledon keeper Ross Worner has a fight on his hands to reclaim the number one shirt from James Shea, according to boss Neal Ardley.
Shea, a summer signing from Harrow Borough, impressed Ardley enough during pre-season to earn the jersey ahead of Worner, and he has not looked back since.
Ardley said: "I told Ross at the end of last season that I would be bringing in some competition for him.
"I told both Ross and James that whoever performs best in pre-season would get the shirt.
"James conceded two goals, and Ross conceded six, but that was not the sole defining aspect, James' all-round game edged it."
He added: "Since the start of the season, James has played well and he is steadily getting better with every game."

Throw in a donkey(Moses Beckett) who won't shut up, a villain (Zach Carter), a cookie (Rachel Oremland) with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.
This Warner Stage Company production is Directed and Choreographed by Sheila Waters Fucci with Music Director, Beth Lorenzo.
Tickets are $20, $26, $33.50...tickets are 50% off in select seats for children 14 and under accompanied by an adult...and can be purchased by calling the Warner box office at 860-489-7180 or online at www.warnertheatre.org.

About the Warner
Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat studio theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season. Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
