AAEP Convention 2001: General Medicine
Hormone Responses to Feeds
Joe Pagan, PhD, owner of Kentucky Equine Research in Versailles, Ky., discussed glycemic response in growing horses as an indicator of developmental orthopedic disease. He said looking at diet and skeletal disease was nothing new--a study done at The Ohio State University (presented at the 1985 AAEP convention) changed the way horse owners feed young, growing stock. That study defined the relationship between copper and zinc to lower the incidence of physitis and wobblers, which are part of developmental orthopedic disease.
However, even after this feeding regimen was accepted widely, the incidence of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) did not decrease as dramatically. Thus, researchers started looking for other nutrition factors.
Research done in 1987 found that a high carbohydrate intake resulted in endocrine (hormonal) changes in the horse's system. The theory was that some horses had a genetic sensitivity for developing OCD (much like some families have a higher cancer rate than others). The researcher theorized that if the young, genetically sensitive horse was also faced with obesity or excessive exercise, or by mineral deficiencies, he would be more likely to develop OCD. (As a refresher, when bone forms, cartilage grows first, then it becomes mature cartilage, then it ossifies to bone.)
"With higher insulin and hormone levels and altered levels of other hormones, the cartilage does not mature and ossify to bone," said Pagan.
Research in humans and horses showed that high insulin suppresses chondrocyte (cartilage cell) maturity. "That might be a contributing factor to OCD," said Pagan.
Research at Rutgers by Sarah Ralston, VMD, PhD, in the mid-1990s resulted in a patent for a glycemic response test for OCD prediction in young horses. Pagan licensed that patent from Rutgers to look especially at the predisposition of Thoroughbred foals to developing OCD lesions.
With 218 weanlings on six farms, he looked at the incidence of surgically treated OCD. He found that radiographic OCD lesions often resolved themselves, so he determined that only those lesions the farm manager and veterinarian deemed significant enough for surgery would be included in the study. "A lot of the lesions that weren't operated on after they were found in December or January were gone by July," said Pagan.
The test on these weanlings involved analyzing their feed's carbohydrates, then taking blood samples to measure plasma glucose and insulin after the weanlings were fed a standardized meal. Of the 218 weanlings, 25 had surgery for OCD lesions (eight in stifles, seven in hocks, five in multiple joints, four in fetlocks, and one in the shoulder). Half of the lesions were identified with radiography, not lameness, but still underwent surgery. Pagan found that the 25 weanlings which had surgery had insulin and glucose levels significantly higher than the group which didn't have surgery.
Then Pagan noticed something else--the differences correlated with the feeds the weanlings ate. There was a big difference among farms in glucose and insulin levels and OCD occurrence, ranging from 0% OCD on one farm to 32% on another farm.
"Carbohydrates are not all the same," said Pagan. "What we found is that we could measure the glycemic index of the farm's feed and predict which farms were most at risk for foals to develop OCD. Body weight and condition also appeared to be involved in lesion development."
Pagan said that based on this study, it is prudent to feed foals concentrates that produce low glycemic responses. "If you need X amount of calories, then feed lower glycemic carbohydrates and more alternative energy sources, such as supplemental fat or fermentable fiber," he said.
"A lot of the glycemic responses are due to the speed the horse eats its feed, " said Pagan. "A horse that bolts his feed has a higher glycemic response."
Pagan found that the size of the pellets in pelleted feeds also affects the animal's glycemic response--the smaller the pellet, the higher the glycemic response.
Currently, 10 Thoroughbred farms in Kentucky are feeding a specially designed diet that produces low glycogen response rates. A large field trial will be undertaken in 2002 involving 16 farms. Half will receive traditional feed, and the others are already on low-glycemic feeds.
"The horse in nature would never have glucose or insulin spikes after eating because of their feedstuffs," said Pagan. "We want to mimic hormone responses in young horses as if they were raised only on grass. I predict a big change in the way growing horses are fed, with lower starch and lower glycemic formulas."
The definition of probiotics is "living microorganisms, which upon ingestion in certain numbers exert health effects beyond inherent basic nutrition." Probiotics have become more popular due to their perceived ability to reduce the use of antibiotics, their degree of safety, and an increase in the public's desire for more natural products. In "A Review of Probiotics: Are They Really Functional Foods?" Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, Dipl. ACVIM, of the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, presented the history and basic concepts of probiotic use in human and equine medicine.
In horses, it is thought that probiotics might be most useful in preventing and treating antimicrobial-associated diarrhea, treating Clostridial colitis, salmonellosis, chronic diarrhea, preventing nosocomial diarrhea, and preventing acute infectious (especially rotaviral) diarrhea in foals.
Weese said that certain probiotics might be effective in treating or preventing certain conditions; however, all probiotics will not be effective for all conditions. Unfortunately, there is little information on what is effective in the horse or what dosage should be used. Assumptions cannot be made from human medicine, nor from research done on other species--some probiotics will react differently in the equine system, and some might not have any effect at all.
Several problems associated with probiotics include lack of regulation, lack of efficacy studies, and poor quality control. These problems make it difficult to determine dosages, which are critical for ensuring that colonization of the organism has taken place. Also, dosage will probably vary for compromised versus healthy horses, and sometimes the dose required for colonization might be impractically high, meaning that a horse wouldn't be able to ingest that much. Therefore, the search for equine-origin organisms continues, since using a species-specific organism might produce better results.
Since no studies have shown probiotics to be effective in horses, it's hard to make specific recommendations. If a probiotic is to be used, Weese recommended that organisms that have been shown to be effective in other species would be preferable. These include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus casei. However, because probiotic effects are specific to individual strains in these species, it's impossible to say if they will be effective without equine research. Weese recommended that horses should be fed at least 10-100 billion of the bacteria per day.
"Hopefully, future studies will provide insight allowing for more specific selection of probiotic preparations," said Weese. "In the meantime, an understanding of the general principles of probiotics and of their application in other species can allow the practitioner to make reasonable choices."
Cushing's Project
Diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's disease have advanced significantly; however, before 1999 no studies had compared the two most used medications--pergolide, a dopaminergic agonist, and cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist. Harold Schott II, DVM, PhD, presented "The Michigan Cushing's Project" during the General Medicine session at the convention.
In a study that ran from 1997 to 1999, Michigan State University and Michigan veterinarians followed 77 horses which were confirmed to have Cushing's disease based on the characteristic clinical signs and the results of either a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (DST) or a thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test (TRH). Horses were divided into three groups--a control (non-treated) group, those treated with pergolide, and those treated with cyproheptadine.
It was found that clinical improvement and a reversal of abnormal endocrine test results was better with pergolide than with cyproheptadine. In fact, treatment with cyproheptadine was found to be of little benefit when responses were compared with untreated horses.
In addition, it was found that measurement of plasma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) concentration alone is not a reliable endocrine test for diagnosis of Cushing's disease, since both false positive and false negative results were obtained when compared to DST or TRH results for diagnosis.
White Line Disease/Canker
White line disease (hoof wall separation) and canker (chronic inflammatory hoof overgrowth, usually of the frog) are foot/ hoof concerns that are often linked to environmental conditions (i.e., unhygienic, high-moisture, and hot weather). Both were discussed in a roundtable discussion.
"It is interesting to note that 'white line disease' is relatively infrequent in hard-working horses," said Bill Moyer, DVM, head of the Department of Large Animal Medicine and Surgery at Texas A&M University and moderator of the session. "Today's horse is pretty much an apartment dweller, and this problem might be linked to lack of exercise and confinement, as it is unusual in horses that live outside. Horses I treated when I was younger simply did not experience this problem with any frequency."
Farriers and veterinarians discussed the efficacy of various treatments for drying out hoof tissues and killing the opportunistic bacteria present in both conditions. Formaldehyde was mentioned as an option; Moyer commented that it works, but can be dangerous if not properly diluted. He suggested using less dangerous agents in most cases.
Many veterinarians and farriers treat white line disease by resecting (cutting out) the separated hoof wall so that the infection can be aired out and easily treated. These often-extensive resections require antiseptic topical medication (such as iodine) and packing, which is usually changed daily. One attendee mentioned success with alcohol packing following resection.
Ric Redden, DVM, owner of the International Equine Podiatry Center in Versailles, Ky., cautioned that good communication with a client is essential to success of a
resection. "It's a big burden for a client," he warned. "Ninety days is about an average turnaround for these horses, with clients changing the bandages every day."
Attendees also asked about the effectiveness of hoof supplements and isoxsuprine in a white line disease treatment regimen. Moyer said that there is no evidence of a beneficial effect of either common treatment.
Racing Performance and Yearling Endoscopic Evaluation
Many have questioned the validity of a one- to two-minute respiratory endoscopic evaluation in predicting the future performance of the adult horse. Scott Pierce, DVM, and Rolf Embertson, DVM, both of the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., conducted a study of 816 Thoroughbred yearlings to test the endoscopic exam's predictive value.
Pierce evaluated the yearlings' arytenoid cartilage function and epiglottic character, grading each on a scale of one to four with four being the worst measure. Of the 816 yearlings that went through the Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton sales in 1998, 19% had grade I arytenoid function and 79% were graded at II (both of which were considered normal), and 1.6% graded at III (no grade IV scores were given). There was no difference in racing performance (number of starts, earnings, or earnings per start) between grades I and II horses. Grade III horses had significantly fewer starts and less earnings during the 3-year-old year than grade I and II horses.
For epiglottic structure, 80% were normal, 14% grade I, 3% grade II, 2% grade III, and less than 1% grade IV. Grade IV horses were not compared to the others because there were too few (two horses). There was a significant difference between the earnings of 2-year-old grade II and III horses compared to normal horses, but the difference disappeared when comparing them as 3-year-olds.
Earnings per start were also significantly lower for these horses during the 2-year-old year, but again there was no difference at three years. The researchers theorized that physical maturation, surgery, and/or training might have all played a part in closing the gap between the horses with poor epiglottic structure and normal horses at age three.
One other finding in the study was that 74 horses with noticeably small airways had significantly decreased earnings at three years.
Nasal Strips: Beneficial or Not?
Two studies presented at the convention relayed different messages on the efficacy of an external nasal strip device (Flair nasal strips) in exercising Thoroughbreds. In one experiment presented by Ray J. Geor, BVSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, nasal strips were shown to be effective in reducing exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH). Gordon J. Baker, BVSc, PhD, MRCVS, of the University of Illinois, presented his study that showed the use of a nasal strip had no effect on equine pulmonary gas exchange, anaerobic metabolisms, or incidence of EIPH.
The adhesive Flair nasal strip is affixed above the horse's nostrils. Adapted from human use, it is designed to reduce nasal passage collapse and decrease transmural (involving the entire wall) lung pressure. This decrease in pressure also decreases the forces that are thought to cause EIPH (see article #938 at www.TheHorse.com).
Geor's study separately examined the effects of nasal strips and furosemide (a diuretic commonly used in racehorses that increases urine production, decreases blood volume and body weight, and lowers blood pressure in the lung). He also looked at the combined effect of the two. After high-speed treadmill exercise, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was used to detect blood cells in the lungs of the horse. He found that the nasal strip reduced the red blood cell count by more than 40%. Combined use of furosemide and nasal strips significantly attenuated EIPH, although there was limited difference between the trials with furosemide and furosemide/nasal strip combination.
"It is important to recognize that neither treatment completely prevented EIPH," said Geor. "The nasal strips may decrease the overall work of breathing."
Baker's research revealed that the nasal strip did not improve exercise-induced hypoxemia (deficient oxygenation of blood) or hypercapnia (the presence of excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in blood), nor did it diminish lactate and ammonia production (indicative of strenuous exercise), or the incidence of EIPH.
"We were unable to detect any significant differences between the control horses and the ones wearing the nasal strips," said Baker. "Our observation showed no difference in the severity and occurrence of pulmonary hemorrhage."
Baker and Geor collected different types of data, used different means to evaluate it, and further research trials should help clarify the efficacy of nasal strips.

text: So, one of our Tyan S2466 nodes finally gave up the ghost. PS is ok (tried a known good spare too), replaced battery on Mobo, the fans spin, the ethernet flashes, but it won't so much as beep and there's no BIOS video, let alone disk activity. Probably a blown CPU or motherboard. Anyway, the failed hardware is another story. The odd thing was that I found this when a submitted job blew up when it couldn't connect by PVM to the dead node. Couldn't ping it either. On logging into another node, gstat still showed the dead one was shown, looking just like the others, here the first one is dead and the second live: monkey02.cluster 1 ( 0/ 54) [ 0.00, 0.00, 0.00] [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 0.0] ON monkey03.cluster 1 ( 0/ 50) [ 0.00, 0.00, 0.00] [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 0.0] ON also Dead Hosts: 0 Gexec Hosts: 20 Now normally when I shut down ganglia, or shut down a node, the values in gstat are correct, yet here, they were not. The dead node probably rolled over and died none too gracefully, so it never TOLD ganglia it was going away. Odd though that gangia seems not to have figured it out for itself. The ganglia version is ganglia-core-3.0.4-1mdv2007.1. Then "service gmond restart" on that one node, and it came up showing itself as a gexec host, but none of the others. It was necessary to restart gmond on all nodes to pick up the expected 19 gexec hosts. Seems like that one node exiting abnormally did a number on ganglia. Anybody else seen this before?

The reality of this situation is the left should be killing the President on this. The dumb idea that we should bunker our diplomats by the right is nuts.
The real issue here is putting diplomats into countries that can't defend our embassies because the President wanted to show how smart a move it was to get rid of Kaddafi without Congressional approval. The President should be skewered for getting the US into a civil war without Congressional approval and putting our Ambassador and his staff into a country at civil war to prove what a smart move it was.
The right doesn't want to make this attack because they are fully supportive of Presidents taking us to war without Congressional or the Nations backing. War by Presidential fiat is the policy of both the President and the Right. The idea that we should have our Ambassadors or their staff living in armed bunkers in unsafe countries is the insanity that led to the Iran hostage crisis. If a country can't provide basic security get them out.
The attack by the right doesn't even begin to scratch the surface because they don't want a change in the basic policy that led to the deaths of our people.

World Peace Bell to be rung at WWI centenary commemorations
Bells will ring at dusk across NSW and Australia to mark the centenary of World War I on August 4.
The focal point of the ''sombre and respectful'' service under proposals seen by Fairfax Media is likely to be in Cowra, where the World Peace Bell will be rung by dignitaries representing the nations involved in the conflict, and likely to include consuls-general from Germany and Italy.
The governor-general designate, General Peter Cosgrove, is expected to be invited to join the ceremony, which has the support of the RSL along with Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Barry O'Farrell.
The government has determined to mark the event by speeches in Parliament and it is likely that the Australian War Memorial may mark the occasion with projected lighting on the memorial and a ceremony at the end of the day.
Lieutenant-General Ken Gillespie, the deputy chair of the NSW Centenary of Anzac Advisory Council, said he could not think of a better way to mark the centenary than by the ringing of bells.
Asked if people would be concerned that nations the Allied forces opposed would be also at the centre of the ceremony, he said: ''I don't think so and they shouldn't. One of the legacies of the Great War is that Australia is a wonderful multicultural society and people in our society really can't be defined by what side they were on in major conflicts.
''If we can come through this centenary of Anzac with a better understanding of how war impacted the people and families of all countries, we will be a stronger nation because of it.''
Darren Mitchell, chair of the State War Memorial Committee, said the ringing of the World Peace Bell would be a sombre reminder of the costs of war.
''Marking the war's commencement by the ringing of the World Peace Bell enables Australians to sombrely and respectfully note the commencement of the centenary period,'' he said.
''Church bells and school bells could also be rung, perhaps at 11am or noon - earlier in the day. War memorial carillons could also be encouraged to play, for example at Sydney University and Bathurst as well as schools and churches and community halls.''
Cowra mayor Bill West said the ceremony would start in the afternoon with a symbolic wreath-laying at the grave of Private Edward Henderson, a blacksmith from Cowra, as a ''textbook study of the waste of a fine generation of young Australians''.
''We think dusk would be an appropriate time,'' he said.
''The idea is to be respectful, to be dignified but also to work in the spirit of reconciliation. Communities with no sense of history have no sense of future.''
State Communities Minister Victor Dominello said the NSW government was considering a range of initiatives.
''I am encouraged by a number of important community-led commemorations being planned across regional NSW, including
re-enactments of the Kangaroo and Cooee Recruitment Marches,''
he said.

Salem house explosion suspect rejects plea deal, trial likely
Stephen McComsey, 33, of North Creek is facing six counts of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, felonies. Prosecutors allege he discharged propane into the basement of a rental property he shared with six people at 4383 Route 29 in Salem.
The house was leveled when police say a spark from a water heater ignited the propane, killing McComsey's 16-year-old nephew, Robert Sanford; Tammy Palmer, McComsey's fiancée; her son, Lawrence Berg Jr. and his girlfriend, Clarissa Porlier, both 19; Darrell Durham, 20; and his two-month-old daughter, Niah Lynn Durham.
McComsey was outside the home when it exploded.
His bail was reduced Friday for the second time to $5,000 cash or $10,000 bail bond, according to Washington County District Attorney Kevin Kortright. It was set at $75,000 cash or $250,000 bail bond when McComsey was first arrested.
Bail would be contingent on McComsey agreeing to house arrest, but he was still in Washington County Jail as of 6 p.m. Friday.
The defendant also rejected a plea deal offered by prosecutors Friday. Kortright said his office offered McComsey one to three years in prison if he pleaded guilty to one felony count of reckless endangerment in satisfaction of all charges.
Kortright would not comment on why McComsey, who is facing up to 15 years in prison if convicted, was offered a deal with so little time in prison.
McComsey's attorney from the public defender's office did not return requests for comment.
"It was not accepted, so it looks like we are heading to trial at this point," the district attorney said.
A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 24. Kortright said he expects the trial to take place in December.

Roenicke honored at Wisconsin Sports Awards
By Jordan Schelling / Special to MLB.com
The Brewers manager made appearances at three events, including the Wisconsin Sports Awards, where he was named Coach of the Year in the state. The other two events honored Del Crandall, whom Roenicke played for in both the Minors and Major Leagues.
"I have a lot of respect for him, and we've become good friends," Roenicke said.
Along with Hall of Fame slugger Henry Aaron, Crandall was named to the Milwaukee Braves' Honor Roll at Miller Park. Crandall played the first 13 years of his career with the Braves, including two in Boston before the club moved to Milwaukee.
Crandall also managed the Brewers for four years from 1972-75 and the Mariners for two years in '83 and '84. Between those two stints in the Majors, Crandall managed Roenicke and the Albuquerque Dukes, the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate.
"I liked when I played for him, he taught me a lot about just playing," Roenicke said. "He's got a great baseball mind, but he's got a way of making it come across really simple. Which is huge when you're talking to players and trying to get them to understand something."
Plenty to like about Lucroy at the plate
MILWAUKEE -- There has not been much to like about the Brewers offensively through the first five weeks of the season. But one bright spot has been catcher Jonathan Lucroy.
Entering the series opener against the Cubs, Lucroy's .321 batting average ranked first among National League catchers. He added to that Friday with a pinch-hit three-run double with two outs in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead in an eventual 8-7, 13-inning win.
"Luc's a good hitter," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said before the game. "He sees the ball really well, he doesn't chase a lot, and he can square up a baseball.
"He has whatever that hand-eye coordination is, along with a good mental approach."
Lucroy extended his hit streak to eight games with the double, collecting 13 hits over that stretch and seven RBIs. On the season, Lucroy has a pair of home runs and has driven in 15 runs.
In his third year with the Brewers and first as the Opening Day catcher, Lucroy has become one of the club's best and most versatile hitters.
"I'm just trying to have good at-bats and hit the ball hard somewhere, no matter what situation it is," Lucroy said. "Anything I can do to help the team win. Whatever side of the ball it's on."
Axford's save streak ends at 49
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers closer John Axford finally blew a save. But his teammates picked him up.
After converting a club-record 49 in a row, Axford could not close out the 50th on Friday night. A one-out RBI triple by the Cubs' David DeJesus tied the game at 5 and snapped Axford's streak, which had stretched back to April 24, 2011.Axford gave up three runs, but just one earned, and struck out three over two-thirds of an inning before being replaced by manager Ron Roenicke.
In the bottom of the ninth, a two-run blast by Corey Hart off Cubs closer Rafael Dolis tied the game at 7, taking Axford off the hook for the loss in an eventual 8-7 Milwaukee win in 13 innings.
Axford left immediately following the game, accompanying his wife to the hospital for the birth of their second child.
"The luck I've had in the past didn't show up tonight," Axford said in a note left for the media. "All I can do is begin another streak and keep my head up."
Axford had not blown a save since April 18, 2011, in Philadelphia. The Brewers came back to win that game, 6-3, over the Phillies. His streak of 49 consecutive saves ranks as the fourth best in Major League history.
Only the Dodgers' Eric Gagne (84), Boston's Tom Gordon (54) and Detroit's Jose Valverde (51) have recorded longer streaks. Valverde's was snapped earlier this season on Opening Day, in a Tigers victory over the Red Sox.
The blown save added to a wild finish in a game that featured just one run through six innings. Over the next three frames, the Cubs and Brewers combined for 13 runs.
Despite slump, Weeks to remain in lineup
MILWAUKEE -- Even as his season-opening slump continues, don't expect to see Rickie Weeks come out of the Brewers' lineup anytime soon.
A lot of players hitting the way Weeks has been -- with a .164 average on the season and hitless in his last 13 at-bats -- would get a day off for a break that's as much mental as physical. But Weeks is not that type of player.
"We need Rickie to hit," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "So whatever way I can get him to start swinging like he did last year and the years before that. But he's not going to do it when he's sitting on the bench.
"Rickie's mindset is, when he's on the bench, it could be the day that he could get it going. And he really doesn't want to take that chance on maybe that being the one day. So he's going to be in there until he tells me otherwise."
Entering Friday's game, Weeks had just an .083 average over his last 10 games, with just three hits in 36 at-bats.
The biggest positive is that his approach has kept his on-base percentage well above the low batting average. With nine walks, Weeks has a .267 on-base over the last 10 games, nearly 200 points higher than his average during that time.
That approach, along with Weeks' personality and mentality lead Roenicke to believe the club is better off with its starting second baseman in the lineup than on the bench.
"Sure he's going to press like everybody does; he's going to go out there and try a little harder," Roenicke said. "But he doesn't need -- at least right now -- to sit here on the bench and watch nine innings. ... He doesn't get worn out mentally."
Brewers lending hand to Habitat for Humanity
MILWAUKEE -- Over the course of five days next week, Brewers Community Foundation, along with Ryan Braun and Habitat for Humanity, will build 10 new homes for Milwaukee families.
Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity's 2012 Build-A-Thon begins Monday, and a crew of approximately 250 volunteers contributing 8,000 volunteer hours will help build the new homes. Braun has lent his support to the cause through a $50,000 donation.
"The Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity Build-A-Thon is an excellent way for Brewers Community Foundation to carry out our mission," Cecelia Gore, executive director of Brewers Community Foundation, said in a press release. "We are proud to be involved in such an impactful week of hard work and tangible accomplishments."
Members of the Brewers' organization, including the Klement's Racing Sausages, and wives of several players and coaches, will be making special appearances at the build sites throughout the week,
As the build week draws to a close next Friday, there will be a "Brewers-style" tailgate at Hephatha Lutheran Church in Milwaukee's Amani neighborhood, where the houses also will be built. Braun also will participate in an on-field check presentation before the game that night against the Twins.
"We are thrilled about our new partnership with Ryan Braun and Brewers Community Foundation," said Brian Sonderman, MHFH executive director. "They are MHFH veterans and an important addition to our team of AmeriCorps members and local volunteers. As always, their support will be a significant help in serving our community and making this Build-A-Thon a success."

Garland victim of errors, long balls in loss
Right-hander allows six runs -- two earned -- in four innings
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
"It didn't look right all the way around," Black said.
To be clear, Black was talking about Drew's two-run home run that bounced off a rail in center field and allowed him and another runner to score in the Diamondbacks' 6-3 victory before a sold-out crowd of 49,192 at Chase Field.
In the interest of fairness, though, Black could have very well been describing the general results on Opening Day, a day in which the Padres defense, offense and nearly everything else essentially failed them on a sun-kissed day.
For openers, this looked like a clunker.
The Padres were handcuffed by D-backs pitcher Dan Haren, who allowed one run over seven innings and retired 14 consecutive hitters. Haren dazzled the Padres not with his usual fastball-slider combination, but more with his two and four-seam fastballs and some cutters.
"You know it's going to be a game where you have to grind things out when Dan Haren is pitching," said Padres leadoff hitter Tony Gwynn, who went 0-for-4.
The defense, expected to be a strength this season, according to Black, was charged with two errors -- one by third baseman Chase Headley and one by shortstop Everth Cabrera -- that led to four unearned runs.
And those go-go Padres, who were a hit in Spring Training with their assertiveness on the bases? It's hard to steal first base, as the joke goes. The Padres had three baserunners in the first eight innings.
Adrian Gonzalez and Kyle Blanks made things a bit more interesting with solo home runs in the ninth inning off D-backs reliever Bob Howry, but by then, it was far too late. The Blanks home run, which landed on the concourse out in center field, was estimated at 416 feet.
But this wasn't much of a day for offense.
Neither Black nor starting pitcher Jon Garland (0-1) felt exceptionally bad about the way the right-hander pitched. His command was amiss early in the game, which led him to 86 pitches after four innings and an early exit. Garland was hurt by three curveballs that, in his opinion, didn't curve nearly enough.
"The curveball usually comes when you're out of Arizona," said Garland with a smirk, knowing as much after having spent most of last season pitching for Arizona.
"I felt good. I made some pretty good pitches and some bad ones. You're going to have games like this, it's how you respond. I couldn't get us out of it."
Garland was referring to two hits he allowed -- two big hits -- that came with two outs and two strikes. The first was a two-run single to Miguel Montero in the first inning, when the Arizona catcher went down and got a pitch that was down and in.
The inning was extended when Cabrera was charged with an error on a ball hit to him by Justin Upton on a hit-and-run. Cabrera looked as though he wanted to flip the ball over to David Eckstein at second base but bobbled it. He recovered to throw the ball to first base but Upton was safe.
Three batters later, Montero's hit made it 2-0.
The other two-out, two-strike damage came in the fourth inning, when Drew drove a ball, a curveball, to deep center field. The ball hit off a rail out in center field where a sliver of seats extends out over the field. The ball caromed back toward left field, where Blanks had to race over to retrieve it.
"That was a such a rare kick off the railing," Black said.
Haren opened that inning by reaching base on a strange play where Headley was charged with an error. The ball was hit about halfway down the third base line and Headley came in and gathered it but hesitated and threw low to first base. Gonzalez looked like he felt the ball was foul as he was unable to scoop the one-hopper.
Two batters later, Drew banged a ball off the railing in center field for a 6-0 advantage.
"It's a play I can make," Gonzalez said. "They don't get those four [unearned] runs then we might still be playing."
Garland also allowed a two-run home run to Mark Reynolds in the third inning. That hit also came with two outs. But Garland didn't feel nearly as bad about that one and to that hitter, even on a first-pitch curveball, given Reynolds hit 44 home runs a year ago.
"I hung it," said Garland, who allowed two earned runs on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. "That guy puts a lot of backspin on the ball. ... That's going to hang in every 'park and every state."
Of course, Garland wasn't exactly pitching against a cast of strangers. He played for the Diamondbacks until September. Manager A.J. Hinch had a good idea of how Garland would go about trying to attack the D-backs hitters.
"We wanted to work Garland up the middle, we knew he was going to pitch us away we knew he'd come in a little bit and when he got into trouble he would go to his off speed," Hunch said. "So we stayed with our plan and we didn't give up the inning when we didn't get big hits early and found a way to get on the scoreboard with two outs."
That's something the Padres struggled to do. Headley and Gonzalez each had thwo hits but the rest of the offense went a combined 1-for-24 and didn't take a single walk. This had a lot to do with Haren, who worked with a slightly different blueprint than the one the Padres remember from the past.
"Haren pitched really, really well," Black said. "We couldn't get anything going. We didn't have a lot of good swings."

CLARKSVILLE -- With about 12 boxes still left to count, Johnson County Sheriff candidate Charles "Buddy" Beavers led the race with 814 votes, while Jimmy Dorney was close behind with 798 votes.
Complete totals in the race were not available at press time. Counting was slow in Johnson County because of ballots that were marked with ink pens, according to county election commission chair Ron Taylor.
Taylor said the counting machines could not read the ballots marked with pens, so election workers had to re-mark ballots using No. 2 pencils before feeding them into the machine.
The sheriff's race had five candidates -- Beavers, Dorney, Kyn Wilson, Greg Arnold and Eddie L. King. Other vote totals included 408 for King, 271 for Arnold and 147 for Wilson.
Beavers is a former deputy who worked for the sheriff's department for 10 years as a patrol deputy, lieutenant and narcotics officer.
Dorney is currently the criminal investigator for the Johnson County Sheriff's Department and has been with the department since 1996.
Early in the night, Dorney led by a few votes; later, the lead switched to Beavers.
By 10:45 p.m., the two candidates were tied with 721 votes apiece.
Although the results are unofficial, it is likely Beavers and Dorney will face each other in a runoff election.
A candidate must get at least 51 percent of the total votes to win an election outright.
Several constable races were contested in Johnson County, but results were not available at press time.

Marshall making the community a winner
Cubs lefty helping to bring wealth to Chicago programs
At age 26, Sean Marshall hasn't heard of the 1950s TV show The Millionaire.
It was a unique, never-repeated concept. A messenger named Michael Anthony, played by character actor Marvin Miller, handed out $1 million checks on behalf of an eccentric billionaire to unsuspecting average folks. The dramas that played out with the sudden riches made up the remainder of the show.
Cubs lefty starter Marshall became a modern-day cousin to Miller, in a way, in an April 21 ceremony. At 6-foot-7, he'd never be mistaken for the husky Miller, but it didn't matter to some beneficiaries. Marshall helped hand out checks totaling $1,060,000 from Cubs Care and the McCormick Foundation to non-profit organizations in the Chicago area.
"It's good they asked me to help them out," Marshall said. "People were thankful I was there.
"We handed out 41 checks. It was good to be a part of it. It was really touching to see the way Cubs Care helped people out. All the money they gave away will go to great causes."
Marshall figured his role as grant-award man could be an entrée to regular community contributions. The Richmond, Va., native is finally a member of the Cubs starting rotation after 2 ½ seasons of spot duty and trips to the Minors. That means he should be in one place for a while.
"I always like to put myself in a situation where I can help other people," Marshall said. "Just being a professional baseball player, you have an influence on a lot of people in a good way. I felt that way growing up.
"It's something I've always been interested in doing -- helping out the poor, the needy, the handicapped. Someday, I'll set up something on my own."
Marshall was busy spreading the fund-raising proceeds of different Cubs events around Chicago.
The 2009 grants include $400,000 to organizations and programs within the Lakeview community surrounding Wrigley Field and more than $375,000 to Chicago Park District summer programs, such as Inner City Youth Baseball and the Cubs Care Rookie League. One of the programs in Lakeview receiving support, the Lake View YMCA after-school program, provides affordable after-school care to about 200 children at six Lakeview-area locations at a time when family budgets are challenged by the weak economy.
Among the other agencies receiving checks from Marshall and Co. are Domestic Violence Legal Clinic, Emergency Fund, Family Rescue, Inc., Jewish Council for Youth Services, Korean-American Women in Need, Lakeview Pantry, Lincoln Park Community Shelter, National Runaway Switchboard, Night Ministry, North Side Housing and Supportive Services, and the Women's Sports Foundation. Marshall won't adopt that many causes when he sets out on his own to help others. But he probably won't limit himself to one cause.
"I know I can do a lot of things to help others," he said. "I'll find something, maybe a couple of different things. I helped the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation a couple of years ago with a number of events. My theory is, as a pitcher, I'm here to help the team win. Same thing with the community."

Dwight Howard going to the Nets.
Dwight Howard probably going to the Nets.
and David Aldridge is reporting that the Magic may file tampering charges against two teams for contacting Howard before the "official" start of free agency.
D-12 will be with the Magic for a little while longer, f*** the Nyets
well the Knicks signed Mike Bibby to a 1 year deal
they are also after J.J Berea.

http://www.hoopsworld.com/new-york-k...amal-crawford/The Knicks are zeroing in on Jamal Crawford and trying to add the veteran shooting guard through a sign-and-trade, according to sources close to the situation.
The Knicks contacted Crawfords camp on Friday and are trying to sell him on the situation. Crawford would have to take a significant pay cut to join the Knicks, but sources say hes open to the idea.
Looks like Berea is going to the T-Wolves. What do you guys think of Delonte West as a PG option? I think he is still available.
please keep Crawford the hell away from this team.
he's past his prime, and he was never good to begin with.
inconsistent, plays no D, doesn't rebound, doesn't get to the line, never saw a 3-pointer he didn't like, and is only effective when he's the primary ball-handler. that would never work on a team with Melo and Amare as options 1-A and 1-B.
Baron Davis committed to playing for the Knicks.
With the NFL season coming to a close hope the Knicks are up for a big season. People say Baron Davis is done but he still does good with assist. I feel like we are fine at guard now.
PG-Baron Davis, Toney Douglas, Mike Bibby
SG-Landry Fields, Iman Shumpert
SF-Carmelo Anthony, Landry Fields
PF-Amare Stoudemire, Ronaldo Balkman, Josh Harrellson
C-Tyson Chandler, Jeff Jeffries, Jerome Jordan
Would like to sign James Posey if possible.
I could see Shumpert unseating Fields to become the starting guard.
As far Baron, definitely a much needed signing and he's still a real quality player when healthy. In terms of his back injury, it sounds as if the reports of his condition pre-amnesty were a bit exaggerated. Reports prior to the amnesty were that it would keep him out 8-10 weeks, but now it's sounding like it's going to be more like 4 weeks, maybe 6 at the max. A healthy Baron with the weapons already in place in the frontcourt could be a very good fit. He's going to get to operate in one-on-one situations at all times and he'll thrive in that. I think Bibby will also see minimal minutes, which is good, because I don't think he really has anything left in the tank.

Im loving this offseason. Landed a true defensive center in Tyson Chandler, a top 3-5 defensive center. Drafted what looks to be a future NBA star in Iman Shumpert, whos by far the most athletically gifted talent coming out of this years draft class and just landed a 32 year old Baron Davis whos a pure PG. Once Baron Davis returns to full health, our team will become impossible to stop.
MDA said on Shumpert, that hes going to be a multi-purpose player. He stated that he might become a starting point, he might become a starting two. He said he thinks it will depend on his teammates more than what he does. He said Shumpert will be good at either position. Also made it known that Shumpert has a pretty high ceiling.
Baron Davis said he chose the Knicks over Heat and Lakers because of frontline, playing in MSG, and MDAs offensive system. Said that people may know him mainly as a scorer, but says he is just as good of a passer. Also stated that hes never played with this much talent on one team.
From Hollinger
Its true. Davis had the most valuable assists in the league last season, and it wasnt even close. Among players with at least 300 assists, Davis average assist was worth .841 points, well ahead of the league average of .667. And lets you think that was all from having Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan slamming down dunks, consider that Davis assist value didnt change at all after the trade to Cleveland. More than half of Davis assists were layups or dunks, according to Hoopdata.com, compared to the league average of 38 percent; conversely, only 26.3 percent of his dimes were bad assists that led to 2-pointers away from the basket.


text: 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is to begin shooting in October. There just aren't enough vampire projects going on at the moment it seems. With Twilight, True Blood, Vampire Dairies the most prevalant there was also news of RDJ being cast as the new Lestat for another Vampire Chronicles movie, news of a 4th Underworld being written for 3-D, Tim Burton/Johnny Depp to start a Dark Shadows film in April 2010 and rumors of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot also out there. Frankly I'm surprised a straight up Dracula movie isn't in the works right now, its about the only thing. Anyway, I liked 30 Days of Night and like it a bit more since it seems Twilight and I suspect Vampire Dairies are filing the fangs down on vamp lore for the current generation. Be good to see move vamps actually being vamps. Too bad Melissa George will not return. I know her calendar must be full of projects demanding her attention. Original movie teaser poster

Want to spend the Maymester working outdoors in Native American homelands and earning 3 credits?!
Contributed by Brooke Hansen on 04/17/13
Service Learning in Native America (ANTH 14500; 3 credits; CRN 10002) will be offered during the May 2013 session (May 14-24) where we will travel to the Cayuga and Onondaga Nations and participate in many projects the nations need help with.
While working in the homeland of the Haudenosaunee, particularly the Cayuga and Onondaga Nations, you will engage with hands on activities in elders' gardens, at a traditional lacrosse stick making shop and at various cultural and historical centers. We also visit the Onondaga Nation buffalo herd.
This course focuses on learning about and giving back to local Native cultures. During the various projects we work on you will learn about the Haudenosaunee, their history, struggles, and contemporary efforts at revitalization. Specific subjects we will read about and discuss include the origin story of the Haudenosaunee, the Sullivan-Clinton Campaign of 1779, herbal medicines, the Cayuga SHARE Farm, activist anthropology, revitalization of foodways, archaeological reconstruction of the Cayuga homeland, and land claims. To see photo galleries of past classes go to the Native American Studies website

OCEAN CITY – One year after an Elkton high school graduate in Ocean City for Senior Week was first reported missing and later found floating in the Cape May, N.J. harbor, and one week after what would have been his 19th birthday, the memories of the tragedy still linger in the resort and his family and friends are still grieving.
One year ago last week, Nicholas Raymond Gochnour, 18, was first reported missing by friends he was staying with in Ocean City for Senior Week after they had not seen or heard from him for several days. The incident touched off a broad investigation as Ocean City Police retraced where he had last been seen and interviewed dozens of people he had most recently been in contact with. Speculation at the time ran the gamut from foul play to accidental drowning and there is still no definitive answer about his last days, but there was some measure of closure when Gochnour's body was found floating in the water near the Cape May harbor two weeks after his disappearance.
One year later, the pain of the tragedy still lingers for Gochnour's family and friends. Just last week, a year after his disappearance and ultimate demise, his friends from Elkton were back in Ocean City to hold a candlelight vigil on the beach not far from where he was last seen, but the ceremony was canceled because of windy, stormy conditions. Instead, family and friends will have a balloon release at his mother's home next week on June 27.
Nicholas' mother Tami Gochnour praised this week the good intentions of his friends to remember him with a vigil on the beach and was sorry to hear the weather did not cooperate last week.
"Yes, the kids that went to Ocean City last week were planning a vigil for Nick, but the weather wasn't the best for what they were planning on the beach," she said.
Sandwiched between the canceled vigil on the beach in Ocean City and the planned balloon release at the family home next week was another occasion that brought the tragic events from a year ago back into focus, according to Tami Gochnour.
"We just celebrated Nick's 19th birthday last Saturday, June 16, with a lot of family and friends at our house," she said. "It was very hard. We have had a very hard year without Nick. I miss Nick more and more every day."
Like thousands of others, Nicholas Gochnour came to Ocean City last June with a group of friends from Elkton High School to celebrate their recent graduation. The group did the normal things high school graduates away from home for the first time do. It's not unusual for a young person in Ocean City for Senior Week to stray from his or her group, but when Gochnour's friends had not seen him for several days, they called police to report him missing.
From the beginning, certain aspects of his disappearance alarmed investigators. For example, his clothes, cell phone and other belongings were still in his hotel room and the phone had not been used for several days despite the fact his birthday had fallen within the time frame of his disappearance and he would have almost certainly called home, according to friends and family.
Other evidence discovered led police to at least consider Gochnour had been the victim of foul play. He was last seen on June 14 near Anthony's Restaurant near 17th Street. The night before, video surveillance cameras at the nearby Party Block showed Gochnour in some type of physical or verbal altercation with a group of people outside the nightclub including a man with a pit bull.
Over the next few days, OCPD detectives tracked several leads and tips and interviewed dozens of people both in Ocean City and in Gochnour's home town of Elkton to no avail. As the days and then weeks rolled by with no new information, the case grew steadily colder. Finally, two weeks later, fishermen aboard a recreational boat near the harbor in Cape May, N.J. discovered the body of a young man floating in the water.
New Jersey State Police alerted the OCPD and detectives drove to New Jersey that morning. Through fingerprints, investigators were able to determine the body was Gochnour. There were still no signs of foul play and no signs of obvious physical trauma on the body and the investigation continued.
The body was transported to the New Jersey State Medical Examiner's Office for a full autopsy, but for months no definitive information was released and the investigation into Gochnour's demise continued as detectives were still not sure if they were dealing with an accidental drowning or a criminal event. The Coast Guard conducted drift tests to determine if the body could have drifted from Ocean City to where it was found nearly 60 miles away and the tests confirmed Gochnour could have perished in Ocean City and drifted to Cape May.
Finally, four months after the case began, the toxicology report prepared by the New Jersey medical examiner was released and determined the official cause of death was drowning with a contributing cause attributed to morphine toxicity. The medical examiner's report did bring some measure of closure to the case, although, one year later, there are still no firm answers about the circumstances of Gochnour's final days.
Did he go swimming while intoxicated and under the influence of drugs? Did he fall in the water? Was somebody else responsible for him ending up in the water? They are all questions that will likely never be answered as the investigation has been all but closed.
Tami Gochnour said the message in the case should be the dangers of young people on their own for the first time with access to drugs and alcohol. She said she is still following what is going on in Ocean City during Senior Week this year, particularly the story from last week about a 17-year-old that drank 20 shots of whiskey and passed out before his friends took him to the emergency room with alcohol poisoning.
"You know when I read that, I thought thank God his friends didn't think of themselves and got that boy help," she said. "His parents should be thankful, not angry, because they saved his life."
Gochnour regretted the same help from friends did not come in time to save her son. While she stopped short of blaming her son's friends for his death, Gochnour said the story might have had a different outcome if they had acted in the same way as the aforementioned case from last week.
"I believe if someone would have helped Nick, he would be here today, instead of being cowards and worrying about themselves getting into trouble," she said. "I believe with all my heart that this is what happened to my son. People know what happened to him and they could have prevented this from happening and they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives."
In the meantime, family and friends are still trying to put the pieces back together and his mother will live with his memory for the rest of her life.
"Nicholas is our angel and he will never be forgotten," she said.

I was offered a complimentary copy of Dr. Robert McKersie's Book "In the Foothills of Medicine", as long as I'd write a review of it. I thought this to be a fair trade, and probably poor judgement on Dr. McKersie's behalf, as I'm not a professional book reviewer, I'm just a grunt doctor.
It's an interesting study of becoming a doctor (FP), who came to medicine later in life after a time of being a teacher. His written communication skills are terrific, and he's also a good storyteller. There are many excellent vignettes of his patient care experiences, and patients who touched him. There's also a painful chapter about love, a lover and loss that makes me appreciate how brave he was to write about it, and include us in his life.
Dr. McKersie is also involved in Himalayan HealthCare, wherein he travels into the mountains of Nepal and practices medicine there. It's quite a different life and practice from that we're used to in the US, and his descriptions (almost) make me want to participate. Clearly he enjoys these working vacations, and it shows in his writing.
The cost of medicine, and a desire for some sort of universal health insurance (and frequent readers know about my feelings there) is a very frequent theme in the book, and frankly it's a bit of a distraction. On more than one occasion, having involved us in the compassionate care of a patient, there's 'money' sticking its head into the story; in a couple of the stories it's valid, but in several it's just jarring. I think one, or maybe two of these mentions would have made the point, and frankly I began to scan ahead to see where the 'money' paragraphs were so I could just skip them.
In all, a good book, and I hope he keeps writing. He has a skill for it, and a natural openness into his life and practice that's good for physicians and patients alike.
Dr. McKersie has a web site, where you might also purchase his book, or read about his other interests.

Oh, yay, someone thinks the same way I do. I saw Les Miserables this week, and let me just say…it was the worse movie experience I've had since The Expendables (but for completely different reasons, of course). And just to put it in perspective, I watched Warning From Space with the @MockTM gang last week. It didn't make me moan in pain as much as this movie did.
Anyway, the review is spot on.
At 158 minutes, this is a long musical film (it's was a long book, and I'm talking about Victor Hugo's, not the libretto) but I was shocked to find that it has only one song, and that's the "Dream-de-Dream-de-Weem-de-Weem" song. The other musical numbers seem to draw their melodic inspiration from the recitatives, the kinds of tuneless tunes you might absent-mindedly whisper under your breath while you vacuum — only here, of course, they're belted out at the tops of the actors' lungs.
Yeah, they made a 'musical' with only one song, and they slugged it out early in the movie so we could spend the next two hours wondering when there was going to be some more music.
Here's a deeply flawed parody of that one song.
It's missing a few key pieces, like being in really intense closeup so you can see every pore and the hideous blotchy mottling of poorly applied excessive makeup splattered on a 19th century French prostitute. Also, she's not emotional enough: you need to be able to see the watery mucus pooling in her nostrils, so you can sit on the edge of your seat through half the number wondering when it was going to flood onto her lip.
One star. In extreme closeup. With swarms of sunspots like rot corrupting the surface.

Clarkson University Takes Fourth Place in Adirondack Cup Investment Competition, Beating Russell 2000 Index
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/adk-cup-2012.jpg .]
A team of nine undergraduate and graduate business students from Clarkson University has taken fourth place in the first Adirondack Cup Investment Competition, in which college teams competed against each other over six months to build and grow a small cap portfolio of stocks.
The competition is sponsored by the Adirondack Small Cap Mutual Fund (ADKSX), a Guilderland, N.Y.-based mutual fund. The owner-managed fund was recognized in March 2011 by Lipper Inc. as the best small cap value mutual fund in the U.S. for the three-year period from 2008 to 2010.
Students from 18 colleges and universities across the Northeast participated in the unique competition, managing a hypothetical small cap portfolio of stocks valued at $1 million each, while benefitting from the knowledge and experience of Adirondack portfolio managers.
The goals of the competition, which is intended to take place annually, were to teach students the difference between trading stocks and thinking through their investment decisions for the long term and to help them make appropriate connections in the financial services sector as they enter the job market.
"The Adirondack Cup was highlighted by an impressive performance by the top teams," said Matt Reiner, Adirondack co-portfolio manager.
Clarkson University posted a 28.5 percent return. All of the top-five teams handily beat the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of small cap stocks in the U.S.; the index had a return of 15.7 percent for the period.
The winner, Ithaca College, posted a 36.3 percent return. Rounding out the top five were Hofstra University (with a 33.8 percent return), SUNY Plattsburgh (32.6 percent return), and Stony Brook University (18.3 percent return).
"As an experiential learning exercise, the Adirondack Cup was a great extension of the classroom for our students," said Clarkson faculty advisor Prof. Allan Zebedee. "It definitely helps them connect the concepts discussed in classes to the real world. By managing money and competing against other schools, they were given insights into the daily pressures associated with money management, as well as the exhilaration of beating the market."
"When the Adirondack Cup Competition was envisioned, we were hoping to teach the students a little bit about what we do," said Steve Gonick, Adirondack principal, "but the larger goal was to do our part to help these talented students get noticed by the financial business community as they near graduation. The Adirondack Small Cap Fund has a strong network of clients, particularly in the Northeast, who have been actively tracking the performance of students from their favorite schools. This has provided the students a great opportunity to build their contacts as they enter the workforce."
At the start of the competition in October 2011, students were expected to do their research, create a thesis on their stock picks and determine investments and allocation by October 14. Each portfolio had to include a hypothetical $1 million invested in five small cap stocks (defined as companies with market caps between $50 million and $3 billion).
Each of the five stock picks had to be from a different industry (technology, health care, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, materials and processing, producer durables, financial services or utilities) and each holding had to be at least five percent but no more than 50 percent of the portfolio. Teams were allowed to make changes to their portfolio only twice during the contest period, on December 16, 2011 and February 17, 2012.
Clarkson students in the competition used a disciplined approach to researching the economy, industry and finally individual stocks to determine the final investments and allocation.
"The Adirondack Cup competition was a unique and exciting learning experience for us students interested in becoming a portfolio manager," said senior Alexander Cauwels, an innovation & entrepreneurship major from Robbinsville, N.J. "Creating a strong investment thesis was our main goal going into the competition, and it definitely showed in our performance. This competition really called on all areas of our college curriculum, specifically in our macroeconomic and industry analysis. Near the end of the competition, we were clearly one of the top contenders and the knowledge that I took away from this competition will transition well into my career path."
Other Clarkson students managing the Adirondack Cup competition portfolio included seniors Matthew Gammariello, a global supply chain management major from Webster, N.Y.; Nate Hazen, financial information & analysis, Dalton, Mass.; George E Pettee, innovation & entrepreneurship, New Canaan, Conn.; Kylie Reid, financial information & analysis, Gardiner, N.Y.; and Chelsea Whiteman, financial information & analysis, Old Chatham, N.Y.; junior Daniel Matthews, financial information & analysis, Ellenville, N.Y.; and MBA students Khoa Nguyen of Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, and Justin A. White of Syracuse, N.Y.
Through the Clarkson Student Strategic Investment Fund, a gift from class of 2011 parents Tim and Sheila Pettee, students also manage a portion of Clarkson's endowment. This student-managed investment fund actively invests in the stock market using the Pettee's gift, in order to provide students with real-life experience and accountability toward achieving financial goals. Clarkson has designed a curriculum focused on security selection and portfolio management in an effort to help promote this connection between the classroom and the real world.
The other colleges participating in the Adirondack Cup were Stony Brook University, Binghamton University, Siena College, Simon School at Rochester, Skidmore College, St. John Fisher College, St. Lawrence University, SUNY Brockport, SUNY Geneseo, Union Graduate College, University at Albany, University at Buffalo (with an undergraduate and a graduate team) and Wesleyan University.
The Adirondack Small Cap Fund was launched in April 2005 and has enjoyed strong growth. It has approximately $90 million in assets under management today.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

"Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp goad."
