i need to try some different rising methods as i am not happy with the toughness of my caputo dough. carmine of settebello mentioned a 24 hour room rise. i want to know how little wet yeast needs to be used at 85 degrees, hi humidity to get the dough to work for that extended period.
Peter, you got this one? -marc
this is for my back yard primavera oven.i make my dough at work and my kitchen is about 87 degrees and august humidity is high. i am looking at opening a commercial Neapolitan pizzeria within the next two years. so i am trying to learn as much as possible on a small scale and eventually transfer what i have learned . that is the beauty of bakers percentages.
i make my batches 10 pounds by hand or a 45 second mix in my vertical cutter mixer[ like a cusinart]. i finish with a hand kneed, cover and a one hour rise. i keep the dough below 85 degrees .the mixer at vpn was a pietrberto vittoria 35 . i don't know if i am committed to non refrigerated method. i am experimenting with the method to see if the dough has a better texture. if there isn't a big difference refrigerated dough will be the easiest to control wast with.
mo , this thread started from the settebello video where he mentioned the 24 hour rise at room temp using yeast. my question started with my neo dough being to tough . i wanted to experiment with a 24 hour room rise to see if it would have the effect of tenderizing the dough, i am looking for help in the procedure. peter i a follow vpn standards on stretching the dough by hand.

Dunhill's Gentleman's Speyside Blend
Thanks in advance for any responses to this thread.
I received a bottle of a peculiar brand of whisky. I've did about two hours of googling and forum lurking to find out more about this bottle but the only thing I learnt was from the whiskey exchange: http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-11872.aspx I wanted to find a review of the bottle, to find out if it was worth drinking, or better off to sell and buy a premium single malt for the same price. (I reside in Quebec, here it's impossible to acquire any liquor that isn't **** by our Society of Alcohol). Thanks! |

Drugs & Medications Questions
477 Question and Answer Results
FAQ: Can Delirium Symptoms Be Treated With Medications?
Yes, delirium symptoms can sometimes (but not always) be treated with medications. For such symptoms of delirium as extra confusion, agitation, or aggression, low doses of antipsychotics may be prescribed. These drugs, such as haloperidol (Haldol), risperidone (Risperdal), and quetiapine (Seroquel),... -
My mother is 86 years old, and in very poor health. She has...
First of all, have you talked to her doctors about your mother's increased confusion? Unfortunately, it's not possible from this vantage point to pin down the source of her confusion. Her general poor health, her congestive heart failure, and her multiple medications may all be implicated, but be sure... -
What is the difference between seroquol and zyprexa?
Quetiapine (brand name: Seroquel and olanzapine (brand name: Zyprexa) are both from a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. The main difference between them is in the side effects that they're likely to cause. All medications in this class of drugs can cause falls, confusion, and drowsiness... -
Are there any effective medications to assist with combative...
Yes, there are some medications that are sometimes used to treat behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer's. These include antidepressants and antipsychotics. Because they can have serious side effects, they're considered a last resort. Their  use also needs to be monitored carefully... -
Can we donate brain tissue?
Hi. Best for you to contact your local medical center and they will help you be specific about organ or tissue donation. All the best,Dan Tobin -
How many medications are too many?
It's impossible to say whether ten pills daily is too many, just right, or even too few, without knowing all the specifics relating to your mother's health. But you're right to be concerned about it, since -- given the reality of today's overloaded practice environments -- it's easy for prescriptions to add up without close scrutiny... -
Do Chantix side effects include body fluid odor or bad breath?
Chantix can cause mouth dryness, which can definitely contribute to bad breath. This side effect can be made better by chewing gum or sucking on sugarless candies. Regarding the change in your body fluid odor, it makes sense that since the medication is drying, that your body fluids would become more concentrated, therefore changing their odor... -
What is an i-pill drug?
There are actually 2 things known as the "i-pill" drug. First, there is a emergency contraceptive pill sold in drug stores in India called the i-pill, but it is not available in the US. However, the i-pill I think you are referring to is made by a company called Philips, and currently it contains no drugs... -
How can I predict behavior changes in my father, who has hepatitis?
Reading your question, you do not say if your father has dementia or other serious medical problems, other than his hepatitis. If he is already sick or has dementia, and his behaviors are getting worse over time, it may just be due to his health failing or an increase in his dementia. -
Is Prednisone normally prescribed to boost appetite?
Prednisone boost appetite: Prednisone can be used to boost appetite. Usually it is used as a short-term appetite stimulant (due to the potential side effects). Your husband's likelihood of experiencing certain side effects will depend on his dose and length of time he is taking prednisone... -
Can sertaline cause dizziness and can you wean from it without withdrawal symptoms?
Dear anonymous- -
Can the nursing home force my mom to take coumadin?
Your question is complex, so I'm going to break it into parts. You ask if the nursing home can force a patient (your mom) to take medication. -
My husband's symptoms seem to have improved, does he really have Alzheimer's?
It is possible that your husband has a variation of Alzheimer's (for instance, Lewy Body disease) that may progress at a different pace. It is always helpful to get a full neuro-psychiatric evaluation to understand the diagnosis and the progression. Multi-infarct dementia will progress differently than Alzheimer's as will Frontal Lobe dementia... -
If Alzheimer's medications slow the progression of Alzheimer's for 6-12 months in 50% of patients, what happens in the other 50%?
Now that's a really logical question! In the other 50% there is generally no change noted in cognitive, physical or behavioral function. This may mean the diagnosis is a related disease and not 'true' Alzheimer's disease(AD) or, that the change is too insignificant to be measurable... -
Does taking Risperdal harm your teeth?
I have looked in several drug information resource and performed a literature search. To date, I see no evidence linking risperdal to teeth discoloration. Are you or your family member taking a tablet or liquid formulation? -

Can I Become Addicted to My Prescribed Opioid Pain Relievers?
If your doctor prescribed you an opioid pain reliever for pain, it's unlikely you need to worry unless you have a history of addiction issues. It's extremely rare for people who don't already have substance-abuse issues to become addicted to pain medication. -
FAQs: Can Dementia Medicines Raise the Risk of Falling?
In a way, yes. The drugs that are FDA-approved for the treatment of dementia (donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, and memantine) are not thought to significantly increase the chance of a fall. However, dizziness has been reported as a side effect of these medications in a minority (about 8 percent) of users... -
FAQ: Can Depression Be Treated Without Medication?
Yes, with mild and moderate depression, studies show that talk therapy alone, if done properly, is probably equivalent to the successes of antidepressants, and maybe even better. However, with severe depression, because of the risks involved, there's better success with antidepressant medication, ideally in combination with talk therapy...

SuperCloset has started Tomato Wars 2, LED vs HPS comparison, in two of its Deluxe grow boxes in the SuperCloset showroom growroom. Tomato Wars 2 was started to answer the question, "Are LED Grow Lights better than HID Grow Lights?" A 400W HPS lighting system is being used in one Deluxe hydroponic grow box and the 126X-PRO Penetrator LED light is in the other.
San Francisco, CA 4/17/2012 11:15 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
LED vs HPS Grow Lights Showdown: Hydroponic Tomato Grow-Off in the SuperCloset Deluxe Grow Boxes
HPS lights are the most utilized grow lights in indoor gardening growboxes because they enhance the fruiting and flowering process in plants, have a long usable bulb life and possess six-times more light output per watt than incandescent lights. HPS bulbs emit an orange/red light, 2200K to be exact, which produces larger harvests of higher quality herbs, fruits and vegetables. Because HPS bulbs increase usable end product, all SuperCloset grow boxes and grow rooms ship standard with HPS lighting systems including Lumatek ballasts and bulbs.
LED lights are Light Emitting Diode arrays that consume less electricity compared to other grow lights and less heat. Because of these features, LED lights can be placed closer to the plants' canopy than HID lights. They are a great alternative for indoor growers that have a problem controlling their indoor air temps. LED lights ship as upgrades to the Deluxe hydroponic grow box systems. The SuperCloset Deluxe hydroponic grow box system is the perfect venue for the HPS vs. LED hydroponic tomato grow-off. It stands 72" tall, 36" wide and 24" deep encased in 16 gauge steel. It is harbors the perfect environment of 76 degrees F and will allow the Black Krim tomato plants to reach up to 34" tall inside the growing chamber. Since all Deluxe grow boxes are designed with adjustable lighting systems, the grow lights can be moved up and down according to plant height. The plants in each grow box started out at 5" tall as they were moved up from their SuperCloner grow chambers as clones.
Follow the Tomato Wars 2 Grow Off on the SuperCloset Facebook page or the SuperCloset Grow Blog.
About SuperCloset: SuperCloset takes the guesswork out of growing through manufacturing the most innovative and customer friendly hydroponic systems and turnkey grow box units. After 10 years SuperCloset continues to lead the the horizontal and vertical growing industry with its commitment to excellent products and world-class customer service.

Fixtures Summary
Oct 02 - Colchester'A&B' (A)
W 19 - 27 Report attached
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The third fixture on the rugby calendar involved a trip down to Essex for an eagerly anticipated game against Colchester, a side that has a reputation for being strong with a pool of some 65 players from which to choose. It did not disappoint. One of the hottest October days for over a century meant that both teams had to play rugby in temperatures approaching 28 degrees - this was when those gruelling summer fitness sessions really proved their worth!
Wymondham started the game robustly. They quickly cranked up the pressure at the scrums, rucks and breakdown, forcing errors from the opposition. The forwards really put in the work with our prop-forwards in the form of Jobe Skelton and Harry Chadwick scrummaging hard to enable Drew Anderson to hook the ball out to the backs. Tackling was equally strong from the remaining pack with Daniel Bainbridge making some excellent tackles against strong and large opposing players.
The Wymondham team knew its strengths and played fast-ball rugby. Quick movement of the ball by Will Findlay supported by an ever agile Joe Milligan enabled the now trademark 'strike' runs from the two big centres. One such run made by a powerful Owen Sharpe saw him break through the Colchester lines and, with a strong hand-off, he secured a well-deserved try. Strong support play from Charlie Blower as full-back also ensured that try-scoring opportunities were seized.
This game of rugby was a tense affair that was as much an endurance test of the heat as it was a test of technical expertise. Indeed, it was summed up nicely by one injured Henry Burton when he quietly said it was "going to be close"! Ultimately, the Wymondham U13 team put in the work throughout 50 minutes of hard rugby and secured five tries and one conversion to beat their opposition and gain their well-earned respect.
Tries: Charlie Blower (2), Daniel Wood (1), Dominic Smith (1) and Owen Sharpe (1)
Conversions: Joe Milligan (1)
Man of the Match: Joe Milligan
U13 Development Squad - Colchester 29, Wymondham 17
The third fixture of the season was against Colchester. With an under 13's squad of around 65 Colchester kindly supplemented the Wymondham squad enabling two teams to be fielded and all available Wymondham players a game this week.
After a Wymondham kick-off the Colchester team showed their strength and size but they were denied a score in the first 10 minutes by some hard hitting tackles by the Wymondham squad. Despite huge efforts by Casey Hawes, Jordan Melton and Tom and Toby Goodrum running the ball and Nick Wileman, Robert Bull and Nathan Mitchell in the scrums they found themselves 17 points adrift after 17 minutes. The Wymondham team dug in and a very impressive 10m drive in was the turning point for the half with Casey Hawes again showing his handing off skills securing 2 tries and a conversion before half time.

You may feel alone but you are not
Millions of women across Europe have Sleep Apnoea. It can happen at any age, with or without any other contributing conditions. However, Sleep Apnoea is often linked to health changes during pregnancy and during menopause, and it can be associated with conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and stroke.
Fatigue, weight gain, history of snoring, morning headaches, excessive sleepiness despite sleeping 7-8 hours, unexplained awakening at night, a sense of being overwhelmed. These are all common symptoms for women to experience when they suffer from Sleep Apnoea. The good news is that effective sleep therapy is available and there are unique solutions created especially for women.
Do more. Have more. Be more. Click here to download our latest brochure.
Women & Sleep Apnoea facts
- Women who snore, or are often very tired during the day, are almost twice as likely to have high blood pressure1
- Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in women with obstructive Sleep Apnoea2
- People who sleep five hours or less per night almost double their risk of becoming obese. Studies have also shown that people who are overweight are at a significantly greater risk of developing Sleep Apnoea than people who are at a correct or below average weight3
- Snoring during pregnancy may be an indication of developing Sleep Apnoea4
- Studies show that Sleep Apnoea is related to a higher risk of depression in women5. Additionally, the severity of Sleep Apnoea may be related to levels of depression6
- Women are more likely to have insomnia than men7. It is often one of the main signs of OSA in women8
- Women with Sleep Apnoea may experience morning headaches more often than other signs of OSA9.
- The risk of Sleep Apnoea in women increases after menopause, rising to the same level as seen in men10. Menopause may also increase the severity of sleep-disordered breathing

My name is Luke Allen, I'm 18 and I am an apprentice within the Stevenage Sporting Futures Team.
If I'm honest, after finishing sixth form an Apprenticeship never really crossed my mind. However, my old school sent me an email about a sporting Apprenticeship at Stevenage Sporting Futures Team. I have always enjoyed sports so without any hesitation I applied, as I knew it would be something I'd enjoy and be fully committed to.
In my first month of the Apprenticeship I completed a lot of training in different activities and sports, which would be beneficial when I went into schools in Stevenage. This training would also go towards many competitions that I would also go on to help out with, for example a TAG rugby tournament and a basketball tournament.
I was put into my "host school" during my first month. I am now based at the school four days a week, supporting with PE and taking clubs either during lunch times or after schools.
Since starting at the Stevenage Sporting Futures Team, I have set up basketball, lacrosse and football clubs at the school, alongside a member of staff. Long term, I'd love to get involved in primary education, as working with children and in schools is such a rewarding job in developing life skills and my confidence as a whole.
Stevenage Sporting Futures Team has been passionate about developing a home-grown coaching workforce ever since it was established as a Schools Sports Partnership in 2003.
We are based in a community which is renowned for low aspiration of our young people, and we believe we can make a difference to lives through our provision of Quality PE and school sport sessions.
In 2007, we started our Partnership Coach programme. We employ 18 year olds and provide them with a year of experience and qualifications. At the end of the programme, our recruits have more confidence and a better feel for the career pathways available to them in sport.
We decided to take the concept further last year after working with SkillsActive on the Future Jobs Fund programme. The experience opened our eyes to the possibility of transforming the Partnership Coach programme into a sporting Apprenticeship. We now have 12 pilot apprentices working at Stevenage, including one who we retained from the Future Jobs Fund programme.
We work with Sporting Futures Training cic, a training provider specialising in school-based, work-based learning to support our apprentices. Our team of experienced PE specialists and coaches provide our apprentices with in house training. They also undertake a Level 2 NVQ Activity Leadership and a level 2 NGB award. Working with people, life-skills, employability comes with the turf.
The increased workforce provided by Apprenticeships has had a great impact in our schools and community - improving participation and providing positive role models for our youngsters. Apprenticeships have also enabled us to have a club based apprentice at Stevenage Scorpians - a level 2 Coach who works developing basketball within the town.
We hope through Sporting Futures Training we can take the model to other areas, as the value for our apprentices and the young people who work with them is immense.

In a recent pow wow with my law partner Dror Bikel, we discussed how frequently we hear parties in child custody matters make the same complaints regarding their former partner's parental skills. So, without any personal commentary, here it goes:
The top 10 things she complains about his behavior as a father in custody cases, in random order:
1. He only wants to see the children because his family is forcing him and/or to impress his new girlfriend.
2. He lets the kids eat junk food, and they return to me suffering from stomach aches and irregularity.
3. He's a hoarder of junk, and it's unsafe for the children to be around the mess he creates.
4. He never interacts with the children. Instead, he talks to his friends in the playground or leaves the kids with his family. He never reads to them at night and instead always lets them watch t.v.
5. He's so careless that he has let the baby find a coin, and she then put it in her mouth.
6. He's always late dropping off the kids and when he finally shows up, the diaper is always dirty. He also brings back all their clothes dirty for me to clean.
7. He has no right to seek custody. The children belong with me.
8. He returns the kids with cuts and bruises.
9. He returns the kids starving.
10. He's hiding his money and owes more in child support. (he's not declaring all his income and/or he gets money from his family.)
The top 10 things he complains about her as a mother in child custody cases, in random order:
1. She spends too much and is living the high life now (e.g., vacations, spas, buying a new apartment, new clothes, new car).
2. She's not using the money for the children.
3. She doesn't need the money. Her family is rich (note: grandparents have no legal obligation to support their grandchildren).
4. She's keeping me from my children, and refuses to consider equal time.
5. She's over anxious. Any childhood illness or boo boo that occurs under my care is a major medical emergency.
6. She lies, tossing out false accusations of violence and/or drunken events.
7. She blames me for everything. I only left her because she treated me poorly.
8. She's overly controlling. She's inflexible about scheduling visits and refuses to allow me to go on vacations with the kids.
9. She's overly critical of everything I do or purchase for the children.
10. She obsesses over the children.
Putting aside the merits of these complaints, parties to a lawsuit should know that judges hear these same grievances sometimes over 20 times daily. As a result, even when valid, with the exception of allegations of violence, without a documented pre-separation history of any of these issues in their extreme form, their impact is diluted and tend to fall on deaf ears.
Perhaps judges often decline to give significant weight to these complaints because with the exception of allegations of violence, they are pretty much the same objections that married couples in an intact relationship gripe about, sometimes even light-heartedly, in happier times. Your thoughts?

Unfortunately Ms. Landarano, the standard is usually not "in the best interests of the child", but the "least detrimental alternative". Great story and information as most clients ALWAYS think their own story is wholly unique, and often, it is sadly a similar one. Thank you for a great post that is the truth, and breaks it down to brass tacks.

Unless there is a valid complaint or clear evidence of abuse or neglect there is NO reason why both parents should not have equal time with their children. These "so-called" complaints should hold no weight!
May 14, 2012 at 02:25 PM
Your bias is rather obvious. In your introduction, you stated there would be no personal commentary. "(note: grandparents have no legal obligation to support their grandchildren)." What is that, personal commentary? Also, "he gets money from his family." Where's your note on that? If his family wants to give him money, the ex-wife has no legal obligation to that either, correct?
John Bogack
May 14, 2012 at 02:39 PM
Decision makers get burned out. Before elaborating on that comment I want to say that I welcome this topic. It's not an easy one to discuss because opinions as are starting to appear here differ widely for various reasons.
I served as a child protective services caseworker for 25 years now retired, all field work. I have had a lot of involvement in child custody issues from the perspective on an investigator.
If it's true that judges often do not give significant weight to various claims that come before them it is also true that way before them the same may be occurring at other levels of society.
The reasons for that are many starting with caseloads that exceed the capacity of honest workers, for example CPS caseworkers from doing the kind of investigations they know in their heart they should be doing but time does not always allow.
Police officers, crime fighters, often view child custody disputes as part of their conflict resolution role in society but not with the same priority as a criminal matter.
And to be fair sometimes there are, often in fact, there are claims that over blown, false, or distorted. The job of a good investigator of course is to sort through the claims and find the ones that are relevant and demand a solution. When that is not done often what happens is issues linger and CPS the police and the courts are called in again and again for the same problems.
And who benefits the least: the children.
May 14, 2012 at 02:56 PM
Very well said. As I had noted in my post above, which was your conclusion - "the least detrimental alternative" is usually what it comes down to, and not the "best interests of the child". Thank you for your years of service and caring of children John B.

I was wondering this, too! It is a different scenario completely! I am a custodial parent of my children, and my love is the custodial parent of his children. Dealing with a non-custodial father is MUCH different than dealing with a non-custodial mother. I know, I live it.

Personal egos and money are horrible factors in custody cases. Everyone wants to be "right", without thinking of their children and the positives that the other parent brings to the table. I don't agree with everything my ex does in regards to parenting, but I also see the value in his influence in my child's life. I think, too, that all too frequently the non-custodial parent believes that they are supporting the custodial parent with the child support, rather than the child themselves. Custodial parents end up spending a far larger percentage of thier income on the children than the non-custodial parents do. That said, the custodial parent also gets to spend more time with the children. The 25% of income support guideline is pretty fair, in my opinion. So much fighting could be avoided by just following some simple guidelines: trust your child's parent to be a reasonable parent (reasonable meaning keeping them out of harm - aside from that you really can't dictate how the other parent parents when they have the children) and a simple equation of child support. Ego and greed...
May 14, 2012 at 03:55 PM
Considering that personal egos and money are probably the 2 most common factors in divorce, I guess we can't be surprised when they roll over into the custody cases. Unfortunately, too many divorced parents focus on their own hurt and anger at the other parent and don't stop to consider "the best interests of the child(ren)", which leaves the courts to weigh in on "the least detrimental alternative".

Home»How do we live?»How many people live in each household?
Derived from the three Census questions, "Name of each person including visitors who spent the night of Tuesday, 7 March 2006 in this dwelling", "Where does the person usually live?", and "Are there any persons who usually live in this dwelling who were absent on Census Night (Tuesday, 7 March 2006)?"
The size of households in general follows the life-cycle of families. Households are usually small at the stage of relationship formation (early marriage), and then increase in size with the advent of children. They later reduce in size again as these children reach adulthood and leave home. However, household size can also be influenced by a lack, (or abundance) of affordable housing. Further, overseas migrants and indigenous persons often have a tradition of living with extended family members and/or other families. In conjunction with Family and Household types and Dwelling Type data, Household size indicates where Wellington City is in a cycle of change and assists in planning service delivery strategies.
Source: Statistics New Zealand, Census of Population and Dwellings, 2006, 2001 and 1996.
Please refer to the specific data notes for more information.
This dataset counts households by the number of persons usually resident, (including residents who were temporarily absent on Census night).
A household is defined as either one person who usually resides alone or two or more people who usually reside together and share facilities (such as eating facilities, cooking facilities, bathroom and toilet facilities, a living area etc).
This dataset excludes 'Visitor only' households, and visitors to private dwellings who do not normally live there.
Analysis of the household size in the Wellington City compared with Wellington Region shows that there were a higher proportion of lone person households, and a lower proportion of larger households (those with 4 persons or more). Overall there were 24.6% of lone person households, and 25.0% of larger households, compared with 24.4% and 25.6% respectively for Wellington Region.
There were no major differences between Wellington City and Wellington Region's household size data in 2006.
The largest changes in the size of households in Wellington City between 2001 and 2006 were:

Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "This terroir is superbly situated between Beausejour Duffau and Beau-Sejour-Becot, with Angelus within shouting distance. Bellevue has been managed by Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont since 2000, and when St.-Emilion does its next new classification (in 2016), I would not be..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a structured, fruity wine that has ripe strawberry and red plum flavors. Its tannins are condensed at the core, and the finish is marked by refreshing acidity. The vineyard is wholly owned by Faiveley."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The rich, round and velvety flavors are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that coats the mouth and buffers the tannins on the firm and exceptionally long finish where, like the Bressandes, the wood resurfaces. This classic Clos du Roi is built to age..."

Edmond North wrestling kicked off the regular season Tuesday night with a 73-6 pounding of the Putnam City West Patriots.
The Huskies started the match off fast with three falls from returning state placers Lance Dixon, Joel Dixon and Andrew Dixon at 182, 195 and 220 pounds to take an 18-0 lead.
North suffered a minor hiccup at 285 with Jacob Hancock of PC West getting the fall over Nolan Malloy to cut the lead to 12.
But that was as close as the Patriots could get to the second-ranked Huskies.
Freshman Jordan Prince made his high school debut with a fall for North, followed by two forfeits for 113-pounder Cy Trindle and 120-pounder Jordan Armstrong.
At 126 pounds for North was Josh Breece. Breece had an outstanding preseason by placing fifth at USA Wrestling Preseason Nationals on Nov. 3. He recorded a first period fall over the Patriots' Jordan Sparks.
The Huskies' Austin Cunningham won an 8-2 decision at 132 pounds, followed by another pin for North's Trevor Pettyjohn at 138 pounds.
Reggie Dunn recorded the only major decision of the night at 145 pounds with a 12-3 win over PC West's Adrian Strickland.
Brian Creel and Duncan Connelly each recorded pins in the first period at 152 and 160 pounds, and Ethan Strange capped off a successful night for Edmond North with a 57-second fall against Garrett Jacobs of PC West.
The Huskies are back in action again Thursday against Mustang, and at Mid-America Nationals Friday and Saturday in Tulsa.

Tyler Tustin and Kaleb Cradduck both won four matches at 141 and came within one match of making the placement round. Top-ranked Cory Dauphin and No. 5 Casy Rowell didn't wrestle because of minor injuries. -

Edmond trainer pointing Walt to stakes races
The $250,000 Springboard Mile at Remington Park is set for Dec. 15 as the top 2-year-old race of the season. The big race may be lacking one specific 2-year-old who obviously has talent and may be heard from in stakes events down the road. Walt made his second career start and flashed brilliance Dec. 4, winning by 9 3/4 lengths while never encouraged by the whip, hand-ridden throughout the entire race.
Owned by Black Hawk Stable of Elk City and trained by Edmond's Chris Hartman, jockey Ken Tohill guided Walt to the front of the eight-horse field immediately from the start and easily handled the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:18.67 over the fast track. The 2-year-old colt broke his maiden status at first-asking in early November and displayed an even better performance in his second attempt.
"If there is any way possible, the owners want to run in the Springboard," Hartman said. "We just hope we can get on the racetrack (due to inclement weather) before too long and make sure he can go around." -

Lady Huskies start out in win column
The Edmond North Lady Huskies stepped out on the right foot Tuesday night, staving off visiting Stillwater 70-64 in the first game of the 2013-14 season.
"We kept our composure and continued to be aggressive," said North head coach Karlie Free. "Stillwater attempted to apply some pressure with a full-court press, but we handled it and had kids step up and hit free throws down the stretch."
Big baskets in the final period came from a pair of up-and-coming freshmen as 5-7 Lauren Koenig and 5-7 Emma Ledbetter came through in the clutch to keep the Huskies on top. The rookie duo each hit double-figures, scoring 10 points each. - More Sports Headlines
