Setting Goals for Hunters
It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. 2011 is long gone ...we're well into 2012. And with a new year comes hopes of better days ahead. It is a time when the slate is wiped clean, and we have the opportunity to make the new year better than the last. Many of us began 2012 with resolutions. For some, those included plans to eat healthier, exercise more, and hopefully to weigh less. For others, it may have included a promotion, a career change, or maybe the beginning of a new business venture. Very rarely, though, do you hear any of us diehard hunters talking about our hunting resolutions for the new year.
4 Tips for Hunting Late Season Moose
We don't often hear about hunting moose in the late season. An undeniable romance focuses on calling and attracting bulls during the peak of the rut; but what about when all that hormone-driven activity subsides? Where do the moose go and what do they do? More to the point, how do we hunt them in the late season? Allow me to share the events of a late season moose hunt and offer four tips that helped me close a tag last fall. Whether we're talking about Shiras, Canada, or Alaska/Yukon moose, for much of the year bulls are reclusive by nature.
For the Traveling Sportsman
Every year thousands of hunters across the continent book outfitted hunts. Some are booked in their home state or province; others require considerable travel by air. For those with the means, exotic trips abroad are a unique privilege. But regardless of where a hunter goes, the research, booking and travel aspects are imminent. Simple or complex, logistics are a part of the game. I've seen it more than once with first time traveling sportsmen.
Foul Weather Whitetails
A cold November rain beat down on the hunt camp's old tin roof, forcing everyone in the bunkhouse to crack open one eyelid and smile quietly in the dark. The hard rain brought relief as well as a tinge of guilt - the former because it provided the tired hunters of our camp with a good excuse to sleep in; the latter because it was only day three of our hunt.
Satellite Bucks: Making the Most of Your GPS
Not that long ago, it would take the average hunter a few seasons to truly learn the ins and outs of a new area. Typically, he would gain knowledge of the local topography bit-by-bit, mostly by hunting near obvious landmarks such as watercourses, trails, ridgelines, meadows, and clear cuts. And, for a while, this would work just fine.
Hunter Etiquette & Responsibility
Respectable hunters live by both a written and an unwritten code. Most of us acknowledge our responsibility to follow the formal and informal rules of etiquette. Webster's dictionary defines etiquette as, "rules governing socially acceptable behavior." Unfortunately there are those among us who choose to ignore etiquette, conducting their hunting activities with only self-serving interests in mind. At a time when our heritage activities are under constant scrutiny it behooves us to heed the importance of etiquette and ethics. As I contemplate this issue I can't help but conclude that it's really all about respect - respecting the law, landowners, the land, as well as non-hunters and hunters alike.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Then I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He had approached from behind and was standing 30 yards to my right and glared in my direction. His eyes seemed to search through every inch of the grass that I lay in, trying to locate the rabbit that lured him in. I remained still, waited for his shoulder to appear in my scope and squeezed the trigger. As I made my way to the coyote, I couldn't help but to admire the ghillie suit that had kept me hidden so well among the grass and wonder why I hadn't tried this before.
Hunting in Suburbia - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Northeastern United States boasts a diverse habitat for whitetail deer. Its' unparalleled ability to adapt and evolve has made it a perfect inhabitant for this region of the country. But that same ability to survive (and thrive) in New England is setting up one of the greatest challenges for the regions' deer hunters. How do we hunt this wily animal while it makes itself at home in backyards, next to highways, and in areas where hunting is at worst, dangerous, or at best, generally not accepted? It's a complicated question, with a more complicated set of answers.
Thinking about Bowhunting? Here's How To Get Started
It's probably safe to say that most of us began hunting with a rifle. As our skills evolve, we look for ways to rediscover the challenge. Inevitably we turn to bowhunting. But its not as simple as just picking up a bow and hitting the woods. A learning curve exists. As with any activity, there are right and wrong ways to get started. Suffice it to say, if you're thinking about bowhunting, here are a few tips to help put you on the right track.
How to Select a Good Pocket Knife
Since the beginning of time, mankind has had both the desire and need for good quality knives. Earlier in history this need was often hunting or protection based. In the beginning knives were usually made of flint or crudely shaped from wood, but as man developed, so did the knife. It was only natural as man discovered and put new metals into use the knife blade was soon made of these fresh materials.
The Art Of Stalking Whitetails
Still hunting for whitetails is, I'm convinced, a matter of character. No one technique is more effective than another, rather, some hunters are better suited to one style than another and so they're more adept at it. I still hunt because the technique suits me like a favorite wool sweater. And, in the three decades since I stumbled across my first living, breathing whitetail, I've refined, modified and tweaked my skills to the point where still hunting has become second nature.
New England's Trophy Buck Outlook
Where To Find Big Bucks In New England! New England's deer hunters took several new state record archery and muzzleloader bucks during the 2003 season, in addition to more than 50 bucks that scored 150" or better! And as the results roll in for 2004, it looks like several more state records will fall! Can things get any better in 2005? The Northeast Big Buck Club and other experts from the region think it can - and will!
The Bear Facts - 25 Things Every Black Bear Hunter Should Know
Despite divided opinion about the political correctness of bear hunting, it is something every hunter should try at least once. But a word of caution, if you want to make the most of your outings, there are a few key things you should know. The more knowledgeable you are, the better your chances of tagging a trophy.
Could You Survive Alone?
The man was in deep pain and knew his right leg was broken. While the bone had not pierced the skin, the foot was bent at an unnatural angle. He removed his sheath knife and cut his pants up past his knee, because he knew the leg would start to swell soon. He leaned back on the dark green moss and thought of how dumb he had been that day.
Passing it on: Youth and Beginner Hunts
Bringing a newcomer or youth on to the big game hunting scene is different than doing it alone or with your fellow long time hunting partners. Instead of just getting an animal or trophy being the goal, you are passing on important skills and a heritage. Whether your newcomer is young or old, you are also developing a relationship.
A Guide to Butchering Deer
Many deer hunters cringe at the thought of having to butcher and prepare a deer for the freezer. While I am far from an expert at the task, I do know the basics of getting my animal from the field to the freezer. It is not that difficult of a task, as long as you take it slowly and know how all of the bones fit together.
Field Dressing a Deer
The wind was light, but the air was cold as I walked from my tree stand to where I had hit the big buck with an arrow. I saw the arrow go through the animal's body and knew it was a good solid hit the minute I released. Most bow hunters have the feel of a good shot or of a bad one, you just know if the arrow was released properly and you know if your form was good as well. In this case, I knew I would soon have meat on the table.
Tools of the Trade
While working in what my wife calls the "sporting goods department", but I call a garage, I received a phone call the other day. "He's out playing with his toys, hang on" I over heard her say, as a bodiless hand thrust the phone at me through the cracked door. Muffling the receiver I yelled in pointless defense, "This is gear. Toys are for children."
Beginner's Guide to Big Game Handgun Hunting
If you desire to hunt with a handgun, without doubt, you need to do your homework. Many hunters who carry a rifle are not comfortable shooting with a handgun. Indeed, there are many reasons why one should hunt with a rifle but once mastered, a change of venue may be just what you are looking for. That's not to say hunting with a rifle is a cakewalk, it can be very challenging and in the favor of the game sought. When you pick up a handgun and decide to hunt big game, the bar is placed even higher.
The Rut Trap
Whitetails have extraordinary eyesight. Their ability to hear the subtle snap of a twig is uncanny, and their sense of smell is remarkably acute. Simply put, whitetailed deer are the perfect forest dweller. Throughout most of the year, their ability to elude danger is impeccable. With this reputation, they are the perfect big game species.

BUCKS psychologist Lynda Shaw says an "isolation epidemic" is looming on the horizon as the 'baby boom generation' reach old age and start to develop hearing problems.
Through a series of meetings with elderly groups and individuals, age-specialist Dr Shaw found many of those who have lost or are losing their hearing feel lonely and depressed.
In particular, she concluded that those losing their hearing find straining to hear friends and relatives can be exhausting, and misunderstanding conversations embarrassing, so avoiding certain social situations becomes commonplace.
Dr Shaw, who runs private clinics in Bourne End and Chalfont St Giles, told the Bucks Free Press: "Deafness makes people go in on themselves, because they're afraid of saying the wrong thing if they haven't heard something properly.
"One of the things I find is a lot of people when they are older deliberately cut themselves off because they don't want to be a burden....
"But we're not meant to be on our own and lonely, we're meant to belong to a community where we can contribute. It's no coincidence that solitary confinement is a form of torture."
In the UK there are an estimated nine million deaf and partially hearing people. About 688,000 of these are severely or profoundly deaf, but the most common cause of hearing loss is ageing, and three-quarters of people who are deaf are aged over 60.
Dr Shaw, who has lectured on Psychology and Neuroscience at Brunel University, added: "Those losing their hearing are often too embarrassed or exhausted to continue socialising which means they become more isolated than ever.
"Loved ones or visitors also become frustrated with repeating themselves or can end up being patronising which again breaks the social circle.
"These amazing people with decades of life experience and a wealth of knowledge end up losing their autonomy, are unable to maintain prominent roles in society and face unacceptable isolation due to lack of community support and the absence of social interaction."
Pensioner Barbara Bennett, of Three Gables, Station Road, Beaconsfield, says many elderly people are forced to rely on family members for interaction.
The 86-year-old is fortunate to have a daughter who visits her regularly, which helps keep her from feeling lonely, but she says others are not so lucky.
She added: "I only go out about once a week now but I don't get depressed because I see my daughter and I've got my TV which I have on a lot."
"I live in sheltered accommodation so I do meet other people. But it makes a lot of difference if you've got family who can come and see you."
And Dr Jim Morrisroe, who runs a domiciliary care firm called Eden Care at Home, based in Gerrards Cross, recognises many of the issues raised by Dr Shaw.
He said some of his clients suffer from loneliness "not only because of loss of hearing but mobility problems and not being able to get out".
He added: "Some of the people we work with don't see anyone apart from our carers when they come to help them. But we all need human engagement... People shouldn't be on their own."
Dr Shaw believes the key to preventing such isolation is finding ways in which the older generations can interact with younger age groups.
She said: "Contrary to popular belief, the mature population who have a loss of hearing do not just want to be with other people in their age bracket.
"Most of them would say they want to meet with younger members of the community as well, to have more sense of control over their lives, better access to hearing aids and not to be treated as if they are infirm.
"The next generations won't want to be going to Bingo or on coach trips. We need to try and encourage our generations to actually mix up a bit.
"If you have a neighbour who's alone, how about knocking on their door to see if they are all right? If a younger person can help then they can feel good about themselves and that's also valuable...It's a two-way street.
"For example, there's probably a very large number of young people who don't know how to do any DIY, and there are loads of older people who know how to do that. Let's tap into that before the information is lost completely.
"Focus needs to be centred on providing invigorating and current events for the older hearing-challenged generation.
"Isolation kills people, and it kills people slowly, so we must make every effort to help those suffering from deafness to remain autonomous, have integrity and to be heard."

The goal of this work is to consider "Self-assessment and preference exploration environments that support learners in learning to learn and refining their understanding of their accessibility needs" (Floe5 grant).
This work is also being carried out as part of the Automated Personalization Computing Project (APCP), see also the press release here
Many of the preference-setting tools that have been developed as part of the Floe project so far have taken into account where and how a user might discover preferences for the first time. Particularly with the Exploration Tool and the First Discovery Tool, the idea of playful exploration and an introduction to the concept and function of preferences was at the forefront of the design and development work. How can a user who has never set their preferences discover what works for them in a way that is non-intimidating, engaging and possibly even fun? While the Exploration Tool and First Discovery Tool provide an opportunity for preference discovery, an additional element of self-reflection is required in order for a learner to determine what is working for them on an individual basis. It should also enable them to set flexible goals and customizable milestones to achieve those goals based on their needs and preferences.
Some of our work in this area has coalesced under the umbrella term of My Lifelong Learning Lab. We are creating extensible supports that allow a learner to become an experimental researcher in the subject of their own learning. They can set up inquiries, instrument these inquiries (sensor, monitors, etc.), monitor the data, analyze the data (with adjustable presentation styles that match their needs), use the results to make adjustments to their learning, etc.
"What happens to assessment if everyone has a different desired outcome or a different role to play? Here we need to explore the option of engaging learners themselves, supported by personalized learning analytics -- as aspiring research scientists in the important subject of self-regulation and self-determination."

Previously, necrotic tissue like eschar or scab often like pus was looked upon as a natural part of the healing process.1 More recently, however, it has been known that tissue necrosis influences the healing process in a negative way resulting in a delayed or even stopped healing process. Wound debridement is for these reasons a vital part of the treatment and healing of problem wounds.
Wound debridement is defined as the removal of foreign material and dead contaminated tissue from (or adjacent to) a traumatic or infected lesion to expose healthy tissue. It may also include removal of foreign material that has become embedded in the wound.2
The main reason for debriding a wound is to avoid substratum for bacterial growth,3,4 ongoing inflammation, and leukocyte infiltration with delayed progression to the proliferative and remodelling phases of wound healing,5,6 compromised restoration of the structure and function of the skin,7 odor management issues, and other negative effects.
Debridement is perhaps the most important part of the concept Wound Bed Preparation and wound management in general. Debridement must, however, not be seen in isolation but should be regarded as one element to achieve healing.8
Several types of debridement are available.9,10 The most generally known is surgical or sharp debridement, but nonsurgical methods have increasingly achieved attention during the last years: enzymatic agents, chemical agents, autolytic debridement, biosurgical debridement, wet-to-dry dressings, whirlpool and hydrotherapy, high-pressure irrigations, and some other types of debridement. Debridement has been subdivided into selective and nonselective methods depending on whether only nonviable tissue is removed. Selective debridement methods can, for example, be mentioned as partial surgery, use of enzymes, osmotic agents, autolysis, and maggot therapy.
The final choice of debridement method is based on the wish of achieving the most rapid, safe, and painless healing of the wound. To accomplish this goal, the debridement has to be sufficient. This is attained when the wound bed consists entirely of healthy tissue.12
The beneficial effects of maggots in the process of wound healing are known for centuries. Since the last 15 years, maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is used in clinical practices in Europe and the United States for the treatment of various types of severely infected and necrotic wounds with successful healing results.13,14 Several historical documents prove that in ancient times, maggots, also known as biosurgeons, were already applied for wound treatment.15 The Aboriginals in Australia and Maya tribes in Central America used larvae frequently to clean wounds. William Baer (1872-1931), orthopedic surgeon at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore was the first surgeon that employed larvae of the Lucilia sericata type for the treatment of children with osteomyelitis in 1929.16 Baer described a fast debridement, the reduction of bacterial amounts, a decreased odor and alkalinization of the wound surface. Until the 1940s American surgeons used MDT, but the discovery of Penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928 and the widespread production and use of this first antibiotic from 1944 leaded to the disappearance of maggots as a treatment for infected wounds.17 However, only 4 years after the introduction of Penicillin, more than 50% of all Staphylococcus aureus specimens produced β-lactamase, which made them resistant to the mould.17 Bacterial resistance to Penicillin, and also to other types of antibiotics, increased in the time afterwards, which resulted in the failed healing of infected wounds, and because of this, maggots made their comeback in the late 1980s.18 In the following years, MDT was reintroduced in United States and Europe using maggots of the type Lucilia sericata.19-22
The aim of this clinical article is to describe the mode of action, when to use MDT, the practical use of MDT in debridement, clinical results, and discuss the problem of creating evidence for the clinical effect of MDT.
Mode of action of MDT
Maggot's debridement has been suggested to work by mechanical and biochemical techniques.23,24 Mechanical debridement is caused by the specific mandibles or mouth hooks of the maggots and their rough body which both scratch the necrotic tissue. Furthermore, maggots produce excretions and secretion (ES) that possess proteolytic enzymes that can dissolve the dead and/or infected matrix on the wound bed.24 However, the long-standing hypothesis was that the mechanical debridement was one of the responsible mechanisms for the effectiveness of MDT, but the current studies do not support this objective and show more evidence for the biochemical mechanisms underlying to its success.25
Maggots excretions and secretions contain allantoïn, sulfhydryl radicals, calcium, cysteine, glutathione, embryonic growth stimulating substance, growth stimulating factors for fibroblasts, carboxypeptidases A and B, leucine aminopeptidase, collagenase, and serine proteases (trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like enzymes, metalloproteinase and aspartyl proteinase).26
A recent in vivo study possibly supports the theory that the direct mechanical action of free-range maggots is limited. In this research, larval therapy with free-range maggots and maggots in Biobags was compared with hydrogel application and showed faster debridement with the maggots.27 Although the maggots in Biobags needed 28 days to debride and free-range maggots needed only 14 days, both therapies were very effective in debridement compared to hydrogel, which cleaned the wounds in 72 days.
Maggot ES can prevent, inhibit, and break down biofilms of various bacteria on commonly used prosthetic materials, and thus, it may in the future provide a new treatment of biofilm-associated infections of orthopedic biomaterials.28 On the contrary, the antimicrobial effect seems limited against pseudomonas biofilm. An in vitro study has shown reduced antimicrobial effect against Quorum sensing controlled pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors.29
The type of maggot used in MDT is Lucilia sericata, whose actions are limited to the necrotic wound and which spares the healthy tissue. Table 1 is summarizing the expected mode of action for maggot debridement.30
Side effects: There are no severe side effects reported on MDT. Sometimes, a tickling feeling of the crawling maggots is noted; however, after using the captured method, there are fewer complaints about this sensation. Exceptional cases, for example, from patients with leg ulcers, who are suffering from ischemic disease, report an increased pain by MDT,31 and in spite of neuropathy in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), a type of pain can be experienced in a few of these patients. The origin of reported pain during maggot application is not known, because the wound-healing effect of maggots is not related to their direct crawling action in the wound surface. No allergic reactions were ever noted.
When to use MDT
Indications/contraindications: Maggot debridement therapy can be used for acute and chronic wounds requiring debridement. In literature, the reported success rate varies from 80% to 90%.32 Clinical relevant indications are DFU, ischemic leg ulcers, osteomyelitis, burn wounds, as postoperative treatment for a necrotizing fasciitis or for the prevention of (further) amputations.19,32-34 In venous leg ulcers, however, maggot seems to have limited effect.27
Maggot debridement therapy is contraindicated when there are open wounds into the abdominal cavity, because of the risk of organ lesions. Other contraindications are pyoderma gangrenosum in patients with immunosuppressive therapy and septic arthritis.31,35 Caution is advised in treating wounds near to large arteria and veins. Wounds heavily contaminated with pseudomonas aeruginosa may have limited effect of maggot debridement.29 Very dry wound may be a relative contraindication because maggots require a moist environment.20
Practice clinical use of MDT
Currently there are 2 modes of application of MDT. First freely crawling maggots (Fig 1) can be applied to the wound bed and covered by a nylon net. On the top of this is placed a gauze bandage to keep the maggots captured in the wound and to let them breath freely. A quantity of up to 10 maggots per square centimeter wound surface for 3 days consecutively are used in our institution. After this period, the maggots should be removed by washing out the wound by saline.
In the second mode, maggots are captured and enclosed in special biobag containing a polyvinyl alcohol spacer36 (Fig 2). The network of the biobag is permeable and permits the migration of maggot ES to the wound. This bag facilitates the application of MDT and also the inspection of the wound bed during the treatment at any time. The effectiveness of the MDT captured in bags or in free-range application seems to be equal,36 but in case of complicated undermined cavity wound-free maggots may be preferable. We advise to use a quantity of 5 to 10 maggots per square centimeter wound surface for 3 to 4 days consecutively after which the bags containing maggots should be replaced in combination with a saline cleaning of the wound.37 Furthermore, it is necessary to use a physiological saline solution daily to keep the surface wet. It has, however, to be born in mind that excessive flushing could drown the maggots. In addition, it is advised to change the covering gauze bandage daily to prevent odor and avoid the dressing to be filled with wound fluid, which could drown the maggots.
Sometimes, there are concerns about the resistance from patients to the utilization of MDT, but many reports show in accordance with our observations that patient acceptability is high.38 Information materials in form of handouts and posters is facilitating acceptance in patients and relatives.
Maggot debridement has been used on different types of problem wounds like pressure ulcers,39,40 venous leg ulcers,27,41 DFU,42-45 peripheral arterial diseases,46 and acute surgical wounds as treatment47 and as preparation for surgical wound closure.48
Maggot debridement therapy has been used for both out- and inpatients and reported to have a success rate between 67% and 88%.31,39,44,49-51 Nevertheless, studies with direct comparison between a maggot and control group has only been lesser performed. In a study on pressure ulcers, MDT showed a success rate of 80% compared to 48% when using conventional debridement.40
Diabetic foot ulcer patients are a major indication for MDT, and some comparative studies have been published. In a study on DFU,44 conventional therapy after 5 weeks showed that in this group more than 33% of the wound surface still was covered by necrotic tissue, while all wounds in the MDT group after 4 weeks were completely debrided. Both studies showed a shorter stay on the ward of the hospital, and one study has demonstrated a lower need for amputations after MDT.51 In patients with neuroischemic diabetic foot wounds and peripheral vascular disease, it has been demonstrated a shorter healing time after MDT, a 3 times higher risk for undergoing amputation in the control group and significant more antibiotic-free days in the MDT group.46
Similar results were shown in another comparative DFU study. It was shown that MDT (using Lucilia cuprina maggots) is as effective as conventional surgical debridement, and there was an overall amputation rate of 20% in the MTD group compared with 38% in the surgical debridement group.44 The outcome and decrease in amputation level, however, did not reach statistical significant, perhaps because of the low number of patients included in the study.
In a recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) in venous leg ulcers,27 267 patients were included. It was found that healing was not significantly different between the loose or bagged larvae group and the hydrogel group, but the larvae therapy reduced the time to debridement. In this study, mean ulcer-related pain scores were higher for both types of larvae treatment than for hydrogel treatment.
A few studies have focused on the cost-effectiveness of MDT. Wayman et al52 prospectively measured personal and material costs of treating venous leg ulcers with MDT or hydrogel. The cost of treatment per patient in the MDT group was £79 compared to £136 for the hydrogel group (P < .05). The MDT group also required fewer visits to achieve full debridement than controls. If nursing costs were included the total expenditure to full debridement of one wound, the difference would have been 6 times lower in the MDT group.53 For DFU, it has been calculated that the use of MDT may save almost £50 million annually in the United Kingdom.54
Practice in Copenhagen Wound Healing Center (CWHC)
Practice in Copenhagen Wound Healing Center is a specialized wound healing institution established as a full-integrated hospital unit in the socialized government health care system of Denmark.55-58 The Center consists of outpatient clinics and inpatient wards with 15 beds only for patients with severe wounds of all etiologies. The multidisciplinary staffs consist of doctors (surgeons, dermatologists), nurses (specialized), podiatrists, physiotherapists, researchers, etc.
In DFU patients, especially debridement, treatment of infection, wound phasespecific conventional local wound treatment, offloading, and arterial revisualization have been implemented. Implementation of this treatment has reduced the major amputation rate to 20% of what it was 15 years ago. All types of modern debridement systems are used including MDT.
The CWHC introduced MDT in Denmark and presently more than 300 patients have been treated and the method to treat has been locally published.59,60 The main indication has been DFU. The reason for choosing this indication is that it is critical in this group of patient to provide a type of debridement, which is as selective as possible to avoid tissue damage as much as possible. In the DFU patient, exposed bone, especially at the heel area, often results in a major amputation. The maggots are in this case much more selective than the surgeon performing a sharp debridement. In CWHC, all DFU treatments have been performed as an inpatient procedure.
The first 16 DFU patients treated by MDT in CWHC were presented in 2002 in Dublin and Oxford. The wounds were of significant size (mean = 31 × 47 mm), and all wounds were necrotic. Although 44% of the patients had critical ischemia (toe pressure < 30 mm Hg), a total of 88% had an improvement of granulation tissue development after MDT. Total healing was achieved in 25% patients, whereas 19% of the patients, all with a toe pressure of less than 30 mm Hg underwent major amputation.
Since then, we have been using MDT routinely as a debridement method in case of severe necrosis except for dry black necrosis, which need to be removed before the use of maggots. This has resulted in the recommendations for the procedure of MDT shown in Table 2.
This clinical article describes the mode of action, the time when to use MDT, the practical use of MDT in debridement, clinical results, and practical recommendations. Maggot debridement therapy has been shown as a safe and cost-effective treatment in contrast to the less selective surgical debridement and the use of expensive antibiotics. It has further been shown that patients treated for MDT have a shorter stay at the hospital ward and patients treated for DFU have a reduced need for amputation, and in these types of patients an improved or at least a comparable effect to conventional debridement in terms of outcome have been found.
Why is MDT not yet a fully integrated debridement technique worldwide? This is probably related to the sparse evidence on the highest level available for the effect of MDT. Most of the studies on debridement61,62 and maggots are relatively small and present insufficient numbers to fulfill the Cochrane system demands, and the conclusion then is that there is insufficient evidence of the effects and more research is needed.
Similar problems are found for wound management in general, where a paucity of high-quality evidence is found, because studies often are based on inadequate sample size, short follow-up, nonrandom allocation to treatment arms, nonblinded assessment of outcomes, poor description of control, and concurrent intervention.63,64 The ongoing dilemma is to address the requirements of a high-quality RCT, as demanded by regulatory authorities, and to produce evidence relevant to clinicians working within the field.65 Another major issue relates to the choice of an appropriate population and endpoints to test the value of a specific intervention in a specific condition.66 A successful and accepted outcome for high-quality RCT, therefore, is linked to an adequate sample size (number of patients), sufficient follow-up time, random allocation, blinded assessment of outcomes, correct description of control, and concurrent intervention. These issues will be very difficult to fulfill in a RCT where MDT is one of the investigated arms but should be taken into account every time a study protocol is completed.
Besides the structure of the protocol and clinical effect of MDT, future studies should try to further clarify the mechanism behind MDT. An important area to investigate is the composition of maggot ES and determine the effective substances that are responsible for the debridement, including the remodeling effect on the extracellular matrix components and the reduction of biofilm formation. In a recent defended PhD thesis, 38 different proteases and new insect defensin (a type of antibiotic) were detected.67
The maggots of Lucilia sericata are especially indicated for wounds that need debridement. At present, 2 modes of application are availablethe free range and the captured method. Both methods are effective, but in undermined cavity wound-free maggots may be preferred. Maggot debridement therapy also reduces biofilm formation and has a positive effect on extracellular matrix components.
Even though clinical evidence on the highest level of the effect of MDT is lacking, the clinical experience strongly suggests that the technique is an effective and safe method of debridement for some wound patients such as those with DFU.

Kenseth holds off Kahne to get 5th win of season
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kasey Kahne was fed up with all of Joe Gibbs Racing by the time contact with Matt Kenseth ended his race at Watkins Glen earlier this month.
It was the fourth time a JGR driver had wrecked Kahne, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, posting: "Headed to Joe Gibbs Racing to talk to whoever will come out front."
But when Kahne had his chance Saturday night to right all of those wrongs, he passed on retaliation.
A clean racer to his core, he trailed Kenseth for a dozen laps around Bristol Motor Speedway, trying every which way possible to pass him without wrecking him and failing miserably. Kenseth ended up with his Sprint Cup-leading fifth win of the season, and Kahne settled for a disappointing second.
"I don't know," sighed Kahne, winner of the spring race at Bristol. "I just … I think at the end of the day, I just don't wreck people. I just didn't get it done and I'm upset with myself for not figuring out how to win."
It's the third time this season Kahne has finished second behind Kenseth, who wrapped up at least a wild-card berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
"Kasey's as good as they get and he's a clean driver," Kenseth said. "He raced as hard as he could, we ran out of room off (turn) four, we were both digging as hard as we could to try to get it. Kasey's just an unbelievable talent, he wanted it bad. We raced as hard as we could race and used every inch of race track."
Kahne, meanwhile, is still hoping just to make it into the Chase. With two wins on the year he's in pretty good shape, but he's only eighth in the standings with two races remaining to set the 12-driver field.
"I needed a win bad, but I also needed a finish," Kahne said. "I just basically ran as hard as I could, tried to pass him two different times and ran on his bumper and hoped he'd screw up, and he really never did."
After Kahne passed Juan Pablo Montoya for second, he set his sights on Kenseth and tried numerous times over the final dozen laps — "It felt like 112," Kenseth said — to make the pass, but never could make it stick. He went for the bump and run on the last lap and missed, and has to settle for second.
"I had a better car. I just couldn't clear him," Kahne said. "There was a couple shots I took, and I had to have been close, but I could feel him on the right side of my car, and I just didn't clear him. I didn't figure out how to get by. It's disappointing not to win here. I thought we had the best car the last 200 laps, and it was a lot of work."
Montoya, who learned two weeks ago he won't be brought back to Chip Ganassi Racing next season, was third. Although he could use a win, especially on an oval to prove he belongs in NASCAR, he said he was pleased with the result — especially since he came back from an early speeding penalty.
"To be honest with you, where we are with the team and the result, it's pretty good," he said. "I'm still running until the end of the year with (sponsor) Target, and I want to make sure I can do the best for them."
Brian Vickers was fourth, followed by Joey Logano, Paul Menard and Jeff Gordon. Marcos Ambrose was eighth and Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top 10.
With two races remaining, at Atlanta and Richmond, to set the Chase field, only points leader Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Kenseth have locked up berths. The rest of the top 10 in points are Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Earnhardt, Kahne, Biffle and Logano.
The two drivers currently in position for the wild-card berths are Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr., who maintained his position despite finishing 35th when he was collected in an accident that began on a restart when pole-sitter had his tire cut by contact with Vickers. Also caught in the accident was Harvick, who drove his battered car into Hamlin's pit, and Hamlin responded by intentionally shoving it out of the way.

Great Family Cruise: Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review by curlstravel
Overall Member Rating
Great Family Cruise
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
We like to have our lunch in the Dining Room on the first day to avoid all the crowds and back-packs etc. We had a lovely window seat where we not only enjoyed the food but also enjoyed the scenery. It was a very relaxing start to our trip.
We loved all the choices of Dinning Rooms on the ship. We ate in the beautiful Tsars, Azura, Mama's Kitchen, the Italian restaurant, Blue Lagoon and Buffets. Our favorite was the Italian Restaurant. It was very charming and we had a window seat for the perfect setting. The food there was delicious and our best meal and service on the ship. We can't wait to go back. All of the food on the ship was very good even though we had slow service a couple of nights in More the dining rooms. We loved the fact that we didn't have to dress every night and could eat whenever we wanted so we planned our dinners around our activities. Not our activities around dinner. I love that about NCL. We also love that they have grills by the pool. You feel like you are at a cook out and the pork chops we had were delicious. We ordered room service several times and the only complaint is that it took awhile a couple of times to get our food. We especially loved the large brownies with nuts and Vanilla ice-cream for bed time snack one night. The chocolate buffet was very nice too. Out favorite thing being the white chocolate covered apples.
The shows on the ship are very nice for children as well as adults. We both loved the comedians and magicians. Crazeehorse was amazing but I thought their show drug on a little too long. We enjoyed all the music on the ship especially out at the pool. They have a very talented group of entertainers.
My Granddaughter loved the Kids Club. She never wanted to leave. She loved the staff and they were all very pleasant to the kids as well as the adults. The lines were a little long a couple of nights in the 6-9 year old age group. NCL should do something about that. Possibly have 2 lines for check in. I noticed the other line hardly ever had a wait so they could have checked the 6-9 year old in, in that line too. It must be the most popular age group. My granddaughter also enjoyed all the Nickelodeon activities on the ship.
Our room was ok, like most ships, we did have a refrigerator and the beds were comfortable. We had a maintenance issue that was taken care of very quickly which really surprised us and did not hold up our plans for the day. The room attendants were very friendly. They always smiled and greeted us by name in the halls and our room was always neat and clean.
Debarkation was a breeze. We were first off the ship and sitting at the airport by 9 am.
There were a lot of positives on the ship. Cons, I wish there were more desert choices on the ship. I don't eat cheesecake and it seemed to be on the menu every night. We had slow service in the dining room a couple of nights too but all in all we had a great cruise and we will definitely cruise again on NCL. Less

Play: Mary's Wedding
Group: Echo Theatre
Venue: Third Baptist Church, 620 North Grand Blvd.
Dates: April 10,11,12,13,17,18,19,20
Tickets: From $15 to $20; contact 1-800-838-3006 or www.echotheatrecompany.org
Story: Mary Chalmers is intrigued when she first meets Charlie Edwards near her home on a Canadian farm. The local farmboy convinces her to ride with him on his horse, and their gentle, shy courtship begins. It's put to the test, though, when Charlie later informs Mary that he's enlisted in the Canadian Cavalry Corps with hopes of joining English forces fighting the Germans on the European continent in the "Great War," now in its fourth year in 1918.
Charlie asks Mary to meet him one last time at their favorite rendezvous prior to his departure, as he has something important he wants to ask her. While the two of them enjoy reciting lines from Tennyson's patriotic poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Mary has her own ideas about what Charlie should do and recounts them to her audience on the eve of her wedding in the summer of 1920.
Highlights: Inspired by the last cavalry charge in military history, Mary's Wedding depicts the grim realities of war in soft and subtle ways that mask its horrors for long intervals, only to reveal them anew in poignant moments. The one-act drama by Stephen Massicotte moves freely backward and forward in time and between sepia-toned dream sequences and the harsher light of reality, but keeps its basic line of thought intact.
Magan Wiles and Ben Nordstrom work beautifully together, establishing a poetic rhythm to their characters and their romance that lingers like a morning mist over the play's ephemeral setting. Highlighted by superior sound design wonderfully conceived and executed by Kelly Kerr, director Eric Little's seamlessly paced production takes full advantage of his players' talent and precise technical support by Kerr, lighting designer Dominique Gallo, costume designer Sarah Woodworth and set designer Tim Day, whose modest alignment of boards at judicious angles supplies all the physical support needed for this fanciful flight of imagination.
Mary's Wedding is a lean but nutritious emotional feast for the senses and the soul, finely etched in Echo Theatre's St. Louis premiere.
Rating: A 4.5 on a scale of 1-to-5.

Stallone On Rambo 5: 'I Don't Think Rambo Likes Mexicans'
Despite all the on-again off-again reports in regards to the fifth film installment in the saga of John Rambo, Sylvester Stallone has announced that not only is he ready to put the red headband back on, but he's making a run for the border.
Sylvester Stallone has said previously that Rambo 5 would happen and that the project was dead. Then there were rumors of his role being re-cast, etc. According to Worst Previews, Stallone confirmed that Rambo 5 is back on during an appearance at a benefit for the Canadian Diabetes Association.
"I'm dying to do another 'Rambo. He's in Arizona on the border. It will involve him going into Mexico," Stallone revealed. "I don't think Rambo likes Mexicans." Stallone was most likely joking with the latter part of his statement, we all know that once he gets to Mexico he'll end up facing off against the Russians somehow (a la 'First Blood: Part Two').
Perhaps when they shot the upcoming mega-action film 'The Expendables 2′ as a PG-13 affair (at Chuck Norris' insistence) Stallone wanted to get back to hardcore action where you can cut a guy in half with a mounted machine gun (see 'Rambo' clip below). 'The Expendables 2′ starring Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jet Li, and Jean Claude Van Damme will be in theaters August 17th. It was also recently announced that Stallone will co-star with Schwarzenegger in a prison break movie called 'The Tomb.'

Since that magical day in May 2010, Saracens have made their way to a fair few semi-finals.
However, they have failed to make the final of another competition since.
This weekend sees a trip up the M1 to take on fierce rivals Northampton Saints in the latest of a handful of semi-final quests, the LV= Cup.
In recent times, Jim Mallinder's men have got the better of the North Londoners, coming out on top on the last three occasions.
It will be an encounter that will no doubt be full of intensity, rivalry and a scuffle or two.
One player desperate to make his mark if chosen will be former Saints' try-scoring machine, Chris Ashton.
Although, in his latter months at the gardens were less than rosy, the 26-year-old played his best rugby to date in the green, black and gold.
Back on his old stomping ground and with a point to prove following his omission from the England match day squads, it would be a perfect platform for Ashton to showcase just what he can do.
Despite, both teams boasting exciting and electric backlines, the battle of the powerhouses up front is the most intriguing.
In the recent clashes, Saracens have failed to get to grips with the American international steamroller, Samu Manoa.
There is just something about the former builder from San Francisco that allows him to stroll his way through the usually watertight and fierce defence.
For Saracens, they have their own go-to player some of his best form in a red and black shirt.
When he isn't baking his pies ready to serve to the fans at Allianz Park, James Johnston is showing just why he was an invaluable asset to his former team Harlequins.
His move sparked a lot of ill-feeling and he has had to be content with a place on the bench for much of the season so far but when given an opportunity Johnston has shown just what a class act he is.
Not only has he come out on top in the tight, he has added his bulk in the loose and even crossed the Allianz Park whitewash on two occasions.
Regardless of what Saracens' side takes to the field on Saturday afternoon they will want to put a few wrongs right against the Saints in a game, if history is anything to go by will be a battle of seismic proportions.

Reviews for Grilled Sweet Potato and Red Pepper Salad
Average Rating
"Unusual is a good word to describe this salad. The word yummy comes to mind as well! I haven't liked cilantro in anything I've tried so far, so it was omitted. Will make again."
"Awesome! Made as-is."
"Will make again and again"
"My family loves this and so do I. Shallots are a good addition or sub for the garlic. It's even better the next day if it lasts that long."
"to those who don't have a grill, add some smoked paprika to your oil! This stuff is great and you don't have to worry about using liquid smoke."
"I have actually made this twice. My husband & I like it very much and we can both use the healthy aspects. I did not have the cilantro the first time and thought it was still good, but added that when I made it today and it does make a nice flavor."
"Outstanding! Renamed it Red Bell Yam...Yum! Cut the salt in half but otherwise as written. Served with a marinated NY steak for an amazing meal. Flavor is unique and just delightful."
""Sounds good but we don't grill is there another way Thanks." Yup, slice up the SP's and add a few (and I do mean just a few) drops of 'Liquid Smoke' added to the oil. Baste the SP pieces with this and with a sheet pan with a cookie cooling rack give them a toast under your oven broiler.fae"
"Sounds good but we don't grill is there another way Thanks"
"By far my favourite salad ever. I have made it a few times & plan on make it a staple with BBQ's this summer. I even enjoy it the next day for lunch! I too cut back on the salt, added a little more garlic and did 1 1/2 the quantity for the dressing. My kids LOVE it too!!!"
"This was awesome!!! I would cut back a tad bit on the salt, though. Yummy!!!!! I did not peel off the skins of the red pepper and next time probably would not even bother peeling the sweet potatoes. The skin is good for you!"

- attribution

- myth acceptance
- domestic violence
Date of Defense 2007-03-28 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis descriptive, correlational and exploratory study used the Domestic Violence Blame Scale and Domestic Violence Myth Acceptance Scale, with questions suggested by the literature, to examine attitudes about domestic violence, knowledge and self-reported preparedness of a purposive sample of student social workers (N=236) in a southern state. An anonymous online web-based survey was used for data collection, and universities distributed the survey hyperlink directly to their students. Response rate was approximately 22% out of an estimated 1060 students who were reported to have received the hyperlink by their universities.
Lower victim blame and myth acceptance scores were observed in students who received information about domestic violence from external sources, had worked with victims, or were interning. Various other significant findings on the tools based on demographic characteristics are discussed. Taking a family violence class had no significant effect on victim blame or myth acceptance, and students who indicated they grew up in rural areas scored significantly higher on all DVMAS factors, but additional research and/or analysis is necessary to infer the causes of those findings. Additional qualitative research is suggested to clarify and add depth to these findings.
Recommendations include exploring ways to incorporate domestic violence education into the field setting or course work of social work education, with goals to improve screening, referral and intervention. Goals additionally include implementing efforts within social work education to examine the feasibility of preparing student social workers to practice universal screening for domestic violence and changes necessary to promote safe, culturally competent responses to clients experiencing domestic violence upon graduation. Introducing safety planning training into the course work is suggested as a minimum interim measure.

text: Election commentary by Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL FinancialNEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The GOP is likely to take the majority in the House and hold about half of the Senate. The likely return to political balance between the parties in Washington may slow the pace of legislative change and result in the "gridlock" the market has historically favored. The President's party has traditionally lost seats in Congress during the midterm elections making it harder to pass new legislation in the second half of the Presidential term. This pattern is magnified this year in terms of impact. Based on polling data, the 2010 midterm elections are likely to mark a return to a balance across the aisles in Washington as the political pendulum swings back from the sweeping majority in the House and Senate the Democrats picked up in 2006 and consolidated in 2008. This balance lowers the probability of dramatic legislative changes and is likely to result in the return of "gridlock." Historically, the stock market has performed better under periods of "gridlock," but this record is far from consistent. Not surprisingly, other factors appear to bear more weight than politics. On the other hand, the bond market clearly has performed much better during periods of gridlock, most likely because investors assign a lower probability to the passage of new spending initiatives that would increase the debt supply. With the start of the fourth quarter, the stock market entered what has historically been the best four-quarter period of performance during the four-year presidential cycle. Since World War II, the stock market has always posted a double-digit gain from the end of the third quarter of year two to the end of the third quarter of year three of the Presidential cycle, and that gain has consistently averaged an impressive 30%.

Have been trying mywi over the last few days and have noticed some issues. After installing the rock extensions and mywi, my iphone has started to exhibit strange behavior. Primarily, it will stop charging even while plugged into either a usb port or a wall socket. Sometimes I can unplug and re-plug back in and it will start charging for a while, but then it stops again after a while. The iphone becomes extremely hot while using mywi. Has anyone else noticed anything like this?
Note that even after disabling mywi/rock extensions, the charging problem appears. I have to disable mywi and the extensions, then power cycle the iphone, before it will start charging normally again.
I am using a registered (paid for) mywi, jailbroken iphone 3.0. Mywi works great, by the way, except for the heat/charging issues I am seeing.

A NEWPORT group which raised well over a quarter of a million pounds for charity over the last century has closed its books for the last time, after admitting defeat over a lack of new members.
The Argus reported back in August that the city's Round Table was appealing for new blood but the group only had one enquiry as a result. The club struggled on until finally, on February 20 this year, it folded.
For 40 years of its 85-year history the club raised up to £12,000 at each of its city firework displays, held variously at Rodney Parade, Tredegar House, Spytty Sports Stadium and the Speedway Track, bringing in at least £200,000 for local good causes.
Up to 5,000 people attended each display until it stopped in 2009, and now due to a lack of interest from new members and difficulty finding a suitable venue for the fireworks, the group has officially disbanded, with the writing of the final three charitable donation cheques.
During its heyday in the 1970s and early 80s the group had a membership of around 100 with a waiting list and a limit of two members per profession.
Former member Nick Mutch, also vice-chairman of the Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge, said: "Like many organisations, dwindling numbers caused by many different factors combined with being unable to run the fireworks due to the unavailability of a suitable venue has meant that the Round Table struggled to raise funds and interest from new members in Newport."
He described the news as "the end of an era", and said: "Friendships made in Table last a lifetime and cross many borders."
The Round Table is a national organisation born out of the Rotary Club but with an emphasis on younger membership, with the maximum age of members 45.
Newport's society was the 15th in the UK to form after the organisation was founded in Norwich two years earlier in 1927.
The last chairman of the group, Paul Thomas, tried to rescue the Round Table together with Craig Payne and past members Geoff Morgan and Nick Mutch, but to no avail.

using namespace std;. It might save some typing but it pulls tons of stuff into global scope (like how rand() does not need to be std::rand() ) and sometimes that can be annoying (you can't have a variable named count) or even generated errors (you have another library that happens to have a function that is called the same name as one in the STL)
using std::cout;
return 0; at the end of main(). Always return from main()
while(1) is equal to
while(true). In short it an infinite loop. It will repeat ofer and over suggesting to enter number and generating random numbers. To exit we compare entered number to -1. If user entered -1 then we use
break; to exit while loop.
while is also like a
for loop here we used infinite loop(never ending loop).
break is used to break the current loop which is
|I am using CodeBlocks and a few programmers told me that I don't need to include return 0 in my main functions because it will automatically do it even if I don't write it, not sure if this is good.
return 0;/
return some_error_code; in main. Standart console program template in Code::Blocks should include it AFAIR.
while (1) we're saying that the loop doesn't terminate ever on the loop condition. That's where the break comes in. All in all, that was a poor excuse for a loop. It's generally a good idea to get the condition you're looping on in the loop condition.

LEALMAN — The 56-year-old woman who died after part of her charred mobile home collapsed on her during a fire Sunday has been identified, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
Vanessa Tarlton suffered second- and third-degree burns on at least half of her body and died before 8 p.m., authorities said. Three hours earlier, a fire erupted in her home at the Silver Lake Mobile Home Park at 4000 24th St. N, Lot 305.
The cause appears accidental but is still under investigation by the Lealman Fire District, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Fire Marshal's Office, said Lealman Fire spokesman Capt. Larry Thompson.

The brown-coloured naturally-forming blooms smell strongly of rotten eggs and vegetables, leading to confusion, said the agency.
The reports were received along the Menai Straits on Anglesey and Tremadog Bay in Gwynedd.
Officials say the algae is harmless and non-toxic and they will continue to monitor its spread.
Warm weather and nutrients in the sea cause the algae, phaeocystis, to form, usually in June or July, although this type is called "May Bloom."
Sian Owens, from Environment Agency Wales said: "Every year we get reports of sewage slicks on inshore coastal waters, and of course we treat each one seriously and carry out tests.
"But almost always, despite its unpleasant appearance, the 'sewage' turns out to be this common May Bloom."

Rappelz Epic 4.5 Client
download size=1.95 gb
Online role-playing game Deva and Asura, the Lightness and Darkness, had been sent by two powerful gods to assist the humans in building a civilization.
All went well until a woman who called herself "the witch" appeared. She disapproved of the sanctity that had been handed down from ancient times and claimed that the history of the Gaia had been distorted.
She cried out that her words were true and that the Gaia should listen to her. Many people followed her words like religious fanatics, which in turn, put the Gaia into chaos. She was so powerful that the Gaia, Deva and Asura had to put their strength together in order to fight her. But in the end she was captured and burned alive.
Many years later there was a suspicion that the number of followers of the witch's words started to increase again. Some people among the Gaia began to make an attempt to find out if what the witch had said was true.

Nezuiz 1.5
License = free
download size=178 mb
developer=Lee Vermeulen
Nexuiz has been in development for 3.5 years by a team of amateur developers. It is a 3d deathmatch game made entirely over the internet. The purpose of the game is to bring deathmatch back to the basics, with perfect weapon balancing and fast paced action, keeping itself away from the current trend of realistic shooters.
It uses HFX textures by Evil Lair, and currently has 17 maps to frag in. With an advanced UI, the user can select between 15 different player models to use, with an average of two skins for each, and can connect to our master server to play people from all over the world.
The game's content and source are GPL. Meaning, it is entirely free and any of it can be used in other free projects, even if modified. This is a first for any large game project of its type. We hope this will support the free game community, and encourage more GPL projects.
Nexuiz is based on the Darkplaces engine. The darkplaces engine is an advanced Quake1 engine developed mainly by Forest "LordHavoc" Hale, who has been working with the Quake1 engine for many years.
A few of Darkplaces main features are Quake3bsp support, realtime lighting and shadowing, new particle effects, advanced menu system, and Md3/Md2 model support. Because Nexuiz is based on the Quake1 engine, its source code along with its content is entirely GPL. Nexuiz will also use the Quake1 game code language, called QuakeC, which makes modding the gameplay of the game extremely easy.
This gamecode will be included with the release, and will allow anyone to mod it, and because it is entirely serverside you can use it on your servers even if the clients do not have your mod.
Nexuiz will not require a high end system. Video cards such as a Geforce1 will be able to run Nexuiz, while highend video cards will be able to take advantage of some features such as realtime lighting and bumpmapping.
This game will be released free over the internet.

Mario Forever 4.0
download size=20 mb
� Works with: at least 64 MB RAM, soundcard, videocard with 16MB video RAM, hard disk with 20MB free space, DirectX7 or better, Internet Explorer, and maybe internet connection. Not really big thing... For Linux use Wine. It runs perfectly on Pentium II with 450MHz (with 256 MB RAM).
Is it freeware or shareware?
Mario Forever is (was and will be) freeware. But you must install the Mario Forever Toolbar into the Internet Explorer to install Mario Forever. Use it three times to make it able to disappear. Using it will support the hard work of Buziol, but some people think the toolbar is spyware (it isn't actually). So the BGS has decided to remove this requirement to install the game in the upcoming version, in v4.0.

Box Score
AMES, Iowa - A total team effort led to a dominant victory as the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team finished 2-0 at the Cyclone Challenge with a 61-39 win over Air Force on Sunday afternoon at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
Penn won for the sixth time in the last seven games to improve to 6-4 on the year. Most of that stretch has come away from the Palestra, where the Quakers haven't played since Dec. 3. The Red and Blue have won four of their last five games outside of Philadelphia.
Penn had 11 different scorers, led by junior captain Alyssa Baron's 16 points. But it was the dominant team defensive effort that was most impressive. The Quakers allowed just 16 baskets and forced 23 turnovers. Eight Quakers had at least one steal and Penn finished with seven blocks, led by junior Courtney Wilson, who matched a career high with four.
Penn jumped on top early and was quickly up by double digits. Five different scorers had the Quakers up 16-4 following Wilson's steal and long pass to Baron for a fastbreak layup.
Air Force got within 18-9 at the 8:39 mark of the opening half, but sophomore Kathleen Roche sunk a three and the Penn lead was double digits for the remainder of the game.
The Red and Blue went on an 11-2 run to end the first half. There were five different scorers in that span. Baron connected on two fastbreak layups to end the half with Penn up 33-13.
The Penn defense continued to frustrate the Falcons in the second half. Air Force managed just one basket over the first six minutes. The Quakers' lead grew to as many as 24, 43-19, when sophomore Renee Busch led sophomore Kara Bonenberger to an easy layup at the 12:01 mark.
Air Force briefly closed to within 45-28, but the Red and Blue scored 10 of the next 12 and led 55-30 with 4:36 to play.
The Quakers shot better than 40 percent for the game at 23-of-57 (40.4%). They were just 3-of-20 (15.0%) from three, but were perfect from the free throw line on 12 attempts. Both teams had 37 rebounds.
Baron also added eight rebounds, two assists and three steals in 32 minutes. Sophomore Katy Allen had a career-high 11 rebounds in addition to seven points. Roche finished with eight points and four boards, while senior captain Brianna Bradford had a career-best four assists and added six points in 26 minutes off the bench.
Penn went unbeaten in its first two games in the state of Iowa. The Cyclone Challenge was hosted by Iowa State of the Big 12 Conference. The host Cyclones also went 2-0 in the tournament with wins over the same opponents.
Following more than a month-long break, the Quakers will finally return home to the friendly confines of the Palestra. The Red and Blue start 2013 by hosting Big 5 rival Saint Joseph's on Saturday, Jan. 5 at 2 p.m. Penn is 2-1 at home this season with its only loss coming in the final seconds to Virginia of the ACC.
