Smith Tallies Season's Final Goal as Men's Soccer Falls to Queens 4-1 in 2011 Finale
October 29, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Four goals in the first 22:06 allowed Queens University of Charlotte to register a 4-1 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Saturday afternoon. The win pushes the Royals to 6-9 overall, 4-7 in league play, and coupled with a Limestone win over Mount Olive, enters next weeks conference tournament as the eighth and final seed. The Falcons see their season come to an end going 3-13-1, 2-8-1.
Felipe Netto (Salvador, BRAZIL) started scoring in the eighth minute with his shot deflecting inside the left post. Less than two minutes later, Jeremy Chambers (Princeton, WV) made it a two-goal advantage with his rocket that also went in left post. Chambers then turned around and assisted on Kevin Andersons (Mooresville, NC) second of the season in the 20th minute before Yannick Fischbach (Dussaldorf, GERMANY) connected for the fourth and final goal three minutes later.
The lone bright spot for the Falcons came in the 47th minute just after the intermission when Niko Andrade (Gainesville, GA) delivered his corner kick to the foot of Eamonn Smith (Flowery Branch, GA) who poked in his first of the season.
The Royals held a large 27-13 shots advantage with a dozen going on frame. Pfeiffer put eight of theirs on net with six being turned away by keeper Simen Walmann (Nevlunghavn, NORWAY). Queens made one team save for the other. Zach Liles (Cumming, GA) knocked down eight shots in net for the Falcons.

Pacers should have put a bid in while trying to dump Hans for nothing like DC. Oh well.
3 scenarios for the draft, starting with my favorite first:
1. Pacers trade up for Justice Winslow
2. Take WCS or Stanley Johnson (this is the theory of a player falling); Make trades (Hibbert/West/others) for additional picks - George Lucas and Rakeem Christmas are players I'd love to have with a late first/early 2nd round
3. Trey Lyles
I'm sure my opinion will change many times before the draft though.
Was there ever a reported figure for the winning bid on Scola?
Saw this on Hoopshype:
Mary Schmitt Boyer/Tom Reed: NBA source says Suns winning bid for Scola was $13 million for three years. Minimum was $10 million for three yrs. Yes, #Cavs did make a bid
Needed to gauge my level of outrage at Pacers management (greent font).
In all seriousness, while $4.3 million/year is a good price for Scola, that would've put us right up against the luxury tax.
My guess as for why the Pacers didn't bid on Scola is that they're trying to get faster and more athletic at the back-up PF spot to compliment David West. After seeing the way Miami and OKC slid players back and forth over that 3-4-5, I'm guessing a lot of teams are going to be doing the same thing. I don't see Brand or Scola fitting into the team it looks like the Pacers are trying to build.
That's an interesting thought. So do you think we'll be seeing Danny (or possibly Gerald Green) as the backup 4? That seems to be the easy way to get faster and more athletic given our roster options.
I think we can either go big or go small at the 4. Playing Mahinmi or Plumlee at PF should give us an imposing twin tower look, but I'd worry about the skill level. Or we can go small with Granger at PF, in fact I think Hibbert-Granger-George-Hill-Agustin would be a pretty good lineup, if a bit undersized. Or of course we can go with the default option from last year (i.e. Hans), but I'm wondering whether Hans is still in the future plans.
And who said Hans couldn't hurt the team. Being able to move him for DJ would have been great. Scola for Hans trade out, that's major win.
So we're paying Mahinmi the amount we could have gotten Scola for? Athleticism and luxury tax be damned, Scola makes us team better and IMO is a better power forward than David West. He makes the players around him better and does everything you'd want out of a power forward except block shots. Makes no sense for us to not have put in an offer.

Polls have President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney running neck and neck as they approach today's finish line. As the polls open across Alamance County, here are a few questions to ponder on Election Day 2012.
-- Are we awakening this morning to another 1980 scenario when polls put President Carter ahead in the final days of the campaign only to have Ronald Reagan come swiftly from behind and win his first term in the White House?
-- Will North Carolina go red once again, handing the state's 15 electoral votes to Romney, or repeat 2008 by re-bluing for Obama? The answer likely depends on Pat McCrory's coattails. The former Charlotte mayor appears to have a substantial lead over Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, and that could mean that Charlotte won't help tip the scales in the president's favor as it did four years ago.
-- Will the coattails of either Obama or Romney have an impact on local races? In 2008, Democrats assumed a majority on the Alamance County Board of Commissioners. Two years later, the GOP got it back. What will the outcome be tonight?
-- According to the Alamance County Board of Elections, 35,292 voters here cast ballots early — that's a third of the county's registered voters. Will that mean lonely hours at the polls today for elections volunteers?
-- Will evangelicals turn out for Romney, a Mormon? Will young people put Obama over the top? African-Americans? Hispanics? What about women? Social issues matter, of course, but will they matter as much to females as the economy? The campaign ads would have you thinking that Democrats believe they do; Republicans believe they don't. Who really believes that all women side with the Democrats on social issues — or with the Republicans on the economy?
-- Will Ohio determine who wins the presidency? Or will it be Wisconsin? Or Florida, perhaps.
-- What will Bill Clinton do now that the campaign is over?
-- Did proponents of the bond referendum for a new classroom building for Alamance Community College successfully alert people to the fact that to ensure the new building would be constructed voters need to approve the bonds AND the quarter-cent sales tax?
-- Messed up voting machines. The return of paper ballots. What will be the "hanging chad" buzz word of this year's election?
-- Did all those irritating phone calls and campaign mailers sway even one voter?
-- Will Hurricane Sandy make any difference? With their homes — their lives — in shambles, voters in areas hard-hit by the storm might have more on their minds than voting for either candidate. There's the thought that the president looked presidential when he surveyed Sandy's damage and met with survivors, but will that add votes to Obama's tally?
Today will tell.
Or will it?
-- Are the pundits right in predicting such a squeaker that an announcement of the winner won't come in time for Wednesday's headlines? Will the Times-News have a "Who knows?" headline on its front page Wednesday?
Watch Wednesday's Times-News to see.
We're interested in finding out ourselves.

Kings coach Alan Solomons says their pre-season matches were all about giving players from across the region the chance to stake a Super Rugby claim.
The South-Eastern Cape franchise has fielded two different teams over the past three weeks against the five South African Super Rugby sides. The Kings team made up of EP players lost 16-12 to the Bulls and 38-13 to the Stormers in PE, and will play the Sharks at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Friday night. The Kings side drawn only from Border and SWD, the other two provinces in the franchise, went down 33-20 to the Cheetahs in East London before being thrashed 88-0 by the Lions in George.
'To play five South African franchises in 20 days is a huge ask, in fact it's physically impossible to do it with one side,' Solomons told keo.co.za. 'Having a combined Border-SWD team helped to break up that schedule. More importantly, it gave us the chance to see all the players in the region play against top quality opposition, which enables us to assess them better. That's what we wanted to achieve from these five games, nothing more.'
Border players dominated the Border-SWD Kings side and while they were humiliated by the Lions, Solomons says he was pleased with their performance against the Cheetahs.
'[Border centre] Dwayne Jenner did really well in that game and he's going to play for us against the Sharks on Friday with Jaco Bekker being out. I was also impressed by [Border flank] Roy Bursey, a young boy from Selborne College who spent a year at the Sharks Academy. [Border flank] Gareth Krause and [SWD No 8] Michael Vermaak also played very well.'
Solomons, though, is realistic and admits the Kings will have to bring in players from outside the region if they are to be competitive in Super Rugby next year.
'We will be going on a recruitment drive, targeting South Africans in Europe who will be out of contract in June at the end of the current northern-hemisphere season, as well as players from other South African provinces, especially those who hail from the Eastern Cape.'
Southern Kings (to play Sharks) – 15 Tiger Mangweni, 14 Marcello Sampson, 13 Dwayne Jenner, 12 Wayne Stevens, 11 Norman Nelson, 10 Shane Gates, 9 Falie Oelschig, 8 Vleis Engelbrecht, 7 Mpho Mbiyozo, 6 Boetie Britz, 5 David Bulbring, 4 Darron Nell (c), 3 Clint Newland, 2 Hannes Franklin, 1 Jaco Engels.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure that places a tube through the abdominal wall and into the stomach.
A gastrostomy tube provides an alternative feeding site. It may be needed to:
If you are planning to have a PEG, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
You will be given antibiotics for the procedure.
An endoscope is a long thin tool with a light and camera. It will be inserted through your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach. The camera will send images to a video monitor. The images will be used to find the right spot to insert the PEG feeding tube.
A needle will be inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach at the chosen spot. Using the endoscope, the doctor will locate the end of the needle inside the body. A thin wire will be passed from the outside of the body, through this needle, and into the stomach. This wire will be grasped with a snare in the abdomen and pulled out through the mouth. There will be a thin wire entering the front of the abdomen, going into the stomach, and continuing up and out of the mouth. The PEG feeding tube will then be attached to this wire. The wire will be pulled back out from the abdomen. This will pull the PEG tube down into the body.
A small incision will be made in your abdomen. The tube will be pulled until the tip comes out of the incision in the abdominal wall. A soft, round bumper will be attached to the ends of the PEG tube. It will keep the tube secure. Sterile gauze will be placed around the incision site. The PEG tube will be taped to your abdomen.

30-45 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel some discomfort. For a couple of days after the procedure, you may have minor pain and soreness at the incision site. This may feel like a pulled muscle. Your doctor can prescribe medication to relieve this discomfort.
The usual length of stay is one day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

HARVEY,La. - It is now the storm after the storm for victims of Sunday's hail storm on the Westbank.
Tuesday, there were long lines of damaged and pock-marked vehicles waiting in line at body shops in the communities of Harvey and Marrero.
'As you can see all of these little dents from hail storm,' said Fred Reiser from Marrero. 'I was lucky it didn't break any of the windshields. That would have caused even more damage. I got dents on the roof.'
'Messed it all up,' said Cynthia LaMothe who was visiting a friend in Harvey when her car got pelted with hail the size of golf balls. 'My windshield is all broken and the top is all messed up, all around the sides.'
The owner of California Customs Collision Center on Manhattan Blvd, Bruce McKay says he brought in extra help, including his wife to respond to the crush of customers with storm damage.
'I had three cars that got hammered at my own house and I walked outside and I saw what everybody else saw and I realized the next morning what it was going to be like so got on the phone and rallied our troops together and got reinforcements in the office just to handle the phone calls.'
McKay's shop and others across the metro area are now working overtime to repair the storm damage. He expects his business to fix 200 cars a month for the next six months.
Customers waiting for service know it will be a slow process.
'Everyone has to wait patiently until they can get to you because it's all up on the Westbank,' said LaMothe.
'Pretty much is going to be a waiting process,' said Reiser. 'It might be several weeks before we can get the cars in the shop.'
McKay recommends that people with damaged vehicles take them to a collision center they know and trust and to avoid the street corner repair shops that always seem to appear after a storm.
'I would highly recommend pick someone who's going to be here tomorrow to deal with any problems you might have,' McKay said. 'Giving you a lifetime warranty is important, just getting a repair you know somebody is going to stand behind.'

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a herding (or working) dog.
Though somewhat short, they usually weigh around 15 kg (30-32 lbs). Females tend to weigh about 1 kg less.
25-30 cm (10-12 inches)
Red, fawn, black and tan, with some white markings.
Their coat tends to be of medium-length. Their undercoat is made up of short, thick weather resistant fur while their outer-coat is longer and coarser.
These dogs are very intelligent. In addition, as you would expect from herding dogs, they are active, fit and bold. They are loyal and protective of their family and will defend their home territory. Pembroke Welsh Corgis don't often bark except around unfamiliar or suspicious people in order to protect their loved ones. They are friendly and playful.
Country of Origin:
They were originally bred for herding sheep and cattle in the Welsh countryside. They originated in Pembrokeshire (a region of Wales) and are believed to be descendents of Swedish Vallhund dogs that likely came to Wales with the Vikings. They are the smallest of herding dogs.
"Corgi" can be translated from Welsh to mean "dwarf dog." As well, they are named after the region in Wales where they originated, Pembrokeshire.
As they are very intelligent dogs, they learn quickly and usually have an even-temper. When provoked or approached by suspicious strangers, they can become more assertive and are keen to protect their loved ones. They are usually gentle, but because of their herding instinct, may nip at your feet – this behavior can be easily corrected through training.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are intelligent and obedient and thus highly trainable. Clicker training has been found to be an especially effective method of training for corgis. Treat based training is also effective.
Exercise is very important for these dogs as they were historically herding dogs roaming large fields and herding cattle. Ideally, they should have access to a large yard or field for roaming but in the absence of this should be walked or ran regularly.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi can become overweight quite easily, so a controlled diet and regular exercise are very important. They make excellent pets because they are loyal, affectionate, and easily trained. They have a very strong desire to please their owners.

"This product was absolutely beautiful. The only flaw was due to my own oversight. I decided to get the shimmery envelopes, and I did not know that my address stamps would bleed into them in a way that they do not with standard paper. But the turnaround time on this was great and the final product was exactly what I wanted."
"I love sights that are user friendly. The ease of ordering was appreciated...I'm busy, helping plan my son's wedding. The product was beautiful in design and the end product. I will definitely tell others about this sight."
"I ordered this card in rich red, since our color-theme for our wedding is cranberry and I wanted the brunch invites to compliment. The invite is beautiful, and the customer service to ensure our information was correct and well placed was above expected! Lovely card, highly recommend!"
"The photos were very crisp, very high quality. I appreciated the expert review service and opportunities to do final checks and request changes before printing. The only thing I would improve would be even thicker paper. But the cards are very good overall. Delivery was much quicker than estimated. Thanks."

Meeks has a reputation as a pure shooter, but the Lakers may ask for him to do more than just hit the open looks that will naturally come his way.
"I'm going to be asked to guard the point guards a lot," Meeks said. "I'm still young and I'm still quick and youthful. If they need me to do that a lot, I'll do that
So Blake still may guard the opponent SG ... I hope not

Rated 2 out of 5 by changinglanes from Glad/disappointed I was very glad to find a seat in the correct color but disappointed to find the color was just a thin layer of paint - which is already scratched after just a few weeks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Countryqueen from Perfect Match, Perfect Fit. I purchased the Kohler Closed Front Molded Toilet Seat from the Triko Collection as a replacement seat. I needed an unusual color "Innocent Blush" to match our existing toilet and water closet. The color matched perfectly and it installed in a few minutes with all new hardware pieces included. Faucet Direct had just what I needed and the telephone sales person was very helpful. Would purchase products from Faucet Direct again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hhccaz from Perfect replacements. We had to replace aging toilet seats that were the best around in 1988 and in a discontinued color. You had just the right ones, identical to the original and at a much better price than they were originally. I couldn't be happier and am spreading the word. One seat came damaged and you replaced it immediately, no hassle, no wait. No pictures - a toilet seat isn't very exciting though finding them so easily certainly excited me!

Regime launches attack to retake Aleppo
Heavy fighting reported Saturday morning in the second city of Syria, including in the southern neighborhoods, which are surrounded and shelled by the forces of President Bashar Assad. The Syrian army reinforcements were massing for the past days on the outskirts of Aleppo, which became a major issue of conflict. Early Saturday, the forces of Bashar al-Assad launched their offensive to retake rebel areas, activists reported.
"We can say that the assault began," said Rami Abdel Rahman, president of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. "The heaviest fighting since the beginning of the revolt took place in several neighborhoods," he said, adding that the military forces "head to the neighborhood of Salaheddin," where many insurgents are entrenched.
AFP reported that Salahuddin is surrounded and shelled from 8:00 in the morning by the army.
According to the SOHR, many residents flee the al-Soukkari (south) quarter, after the heavy bombardment. Violent clashes were also reported in the area of Hamdaniye (west). According to a Syrian security source, the rebels are holed up in a very narrow lanes, making it difficult to battle. In preparation for the regime's attack, the insurgents have not initiated any major operation for the past two days, saving their anti-tank rockets.
According to experts, this battle is extremely important for both parties. The regime is relying on its allies among the wealthy merchants of the city to finance part of its war effort, while the rebels wish to replicate the schema with the Libyan city of Benghazi in creating a protected area.
Top Headlines
The situation in Syria was supposed to be about Syrians demonstrating for reforms and change: The situation in Syria has turned out into a proxy-war, involving several players, such as the US, UK, Turkey, not to mention fighters from different nationalities, including from Egypt, Libya, and Jordan, with German intelligence citing al-Qaeda's involvement and the money that is being provided by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Some observers say Syria has become the scene of a "small-scale world war".

ANNA, Texas They call it guns and poses children holding guns in their Facebook photos.
It's not illegal, and to some parents it may not be alarming.
For others, though, these pictures are a cause for concern.
Image Vision, a Collin County business, has designed software called EyeGuardian aimed at finding those gun-toting pictures and alerting parents, police, or even schools.
Images with children of all ages posing with guns are easy to find on Facebook.
Why are they doing it in the first place, asked Collin College Professor Amy Trombly, whose specialty is social media. Why don't the parents know that they're doing it in the first place?
For Mitch Butler, the problem is personal. He found a text message on his daughter's phone with an inappropriate image of a boy. His company developed software to identify inappropriate images.
Now they've developed a program that goes one step further.
What we've added to our software is gun recognition, Butler explained.
When the software recognizes an image of a gun on a Facebook page, it sends out an alert and report to the person monitoring that account.
We provide a daily report that comes back to the parent via text, or an e-mail that says, 'Here is some imagery that is suspect,' Butler said.
The software isn't aimed at the iconic dad and son hunting photos you often encounter. It's designed to identify teens and children using guns to come across as tough or threatening.
While young people learn what's socially responsible at home or school, they don t learn what responsible behavior is online, Professor Trombly said.
I think that's where we really fail kids today, she said. Social media and technology has really bombarded us in society. We've enjoyed it and we've had fun with it. But we haven't learned this social media responsibility, and we don't teach it.
The software's developers said it's not designed to dictate morality or tell parents how to parent. Butler said it's more about relaying information to parents so they can decide what action to take.

As well as Ashbrook's girls played in large stretches of Monday's win against North Gaston, one thing still bothered coach Juan Smith.
"Our second halves have been better than our first halves all along this year," Smith said after the 60-37 win. "But it can't be that way come Wednesday."
That's because the Green Wave (17-6) faces top-seeded Crest (17-3) in the Big South 3A Conference tournament semifinals Wednesday. The matchup is one of four in the Big South Wednesday as Crest hosts the girls semifinals and Hunter Huss hosts the boys semifinals.
The fourth-seeded Ashbrook girls will be looking for the first win over Crest in three tries this season, having lost 54-51 and 73-52. The game tips off at 7:30, following the 6 p.m. game between South Point and Forestview.
Third-seeded South Point (19-4) is the team that ruined Forestview's chance of sharing the Big South title with Crest. Forestview (18-6) had handed Crest its first league loss midway through the conference schedule but dropped a 50-41 decision to South Point two games later. Forestview beat South Point 55-38 in their first meeting.
Wednesday's winners will meet for the championship 6 p.m. Friday at Crest.
The boys semifinals also feature an Ashbrook-Crest matchup. The second-seeded Green Wave (17-7) and third-seeded Chargers (13-8) split the regular-season series, with each winning on the road (Crest 56-53 and Ashbrook 75-52). Their game tips off at 6 p.m. at Hunter Huss.
The 7:30 nightcap at Hunter Huss features the host and top-seeded Huskies (19-3) against fifth-seeded Kings Mountain (9-15), which needs to win the tournament to earn a state playoff berth. The Mountaineers began that quest with Monday's 61-58 tournament quarterfinal win at Forestview.
MEGA 7 3A/4A Conference: East Gaston's fifth-seeded girls (8-16) beat fourth-seeded Charlotte Catholic on Monday to reach Wednesday's MEGA 7 3A/4A Conference tournament semifinals against top-seeded Harding (16-4). The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. at Charlotte Catholic.
Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference: East Lincoln is host for the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference tournament boys semifinals, which begin at 6:30 p.m. Third-seeded Bessemer City (18-6) faces second-seeded East Lincoln (18-6) in the 6:30 matchup. The 8 p.m. game pits top-seeded Lake Norman Charter (19-4) against fifth-seeded Lincolnton (13-10).
Wednesday's winners meet for the championship 8 p.m. Friday at East Lincoln.

I think my first time in a raid group was an excursion from Barrens to Astranaar. Most participants, including me, were about level 20 something, so it wasn't very succesful.
If UBRS counts as a raid, then it was my first proper raid. However, I would call UBRS a 10 man dungeon rather than a proper raid, so in that case a pug managing to kill few bosses in ZG was my first raid instance experience

RYAN VREDE, in Dublin with the Boks, speaks to Bok coach Heyneke Meyer and Rassie Erasmus about Eben Etzebeth.
Meyer and Erasmus agree the challenges Etzebeth will face on the Springboks' European tour will refine him and elevate him to a new level of potency.
Others have struggled to make it out of the shadow of recently departed Springbok legends – Andries Bekker continues to be haunted by Victor Matfield's legacy, Francois Hougaard has been frustratingly slow in filling the void left by Fourie du Preez – but Etzebeth has established himself as a prototype, not a surrogate for Bakkies Botha.
Having won the Players Player of the Year and Forward of the Year at the recent Western Province awards, the 21-year-old went on to scoop the Young Player of the Year at the SA Rugby awards last week, only being denied the top prize by Bryan Habana's throwback season. In his rookie year he has established himself as one of the best in his position. Some would argue that he is indeed the pre-eminent No 4 in the game.
Etzebeth is, however, still undoubtedly raw, but former Springbok flank Erasmus, who now performs the dual role of SA Rugby's general manager of high performance and technical analyst for the Springboks, asserts that his growth will be aided by unique tests in the next three weeks against Ireland, Scotland and England.
'The northern hemisphere tour will be a little out of his comfort zone,' Erasmus told keo.co.za. 'There is a massive emphasis on set phases, which isn't the case in Super Rugby and the Rugby Championship. Some of the toughest Tests I've played were against Ireland. That match in particular will be good for him, simply because of how confrontational they will be.
'How he responds there will tell us a lot about this kid. He has already dealt with everything that has been thrown at him like a seasoned pro. This tour will make him even better.'
Meyer has been lavish in his praise of Etzebeth, recently suggesting that his presence precludes Botha from selection in the squad (he explained Botha wouldn't start ahead of him and is not an impact player). In informal discussions with me Meyer has noted that Etzebeth emphatically meets all his criteria of a great Test player – power, speed, size, position specific skill, mental strength and coachability – and believes his form has been central to the success of a young pack.
Meyer wishes he could have more time with the young second rower.
'I'd be desperate to have him every day in order to help him grow technically and mentally,' he said. 'I've effectively only been with him for nine weeks and in that time there has been limited personal interaction with him.
'Eben was the Man of the Match in the Currie Cup final and most of that has to do with his lineout competing, which has gone to another level. Taking nothing away from the Western Province coaches, we've worked bloody hard on that area of his game. If he can make those gains in nine weeks, imagine what he can achieve in more time in the national group. He is an example of why I'm pushing hard for more time with the squad. The All Blacks' players benefit a lot from their [central contracts] system.
'But Eben still has some way to go in his game. No player of his quality has ever gone to Europe and not benefited. I don't have any questions about his mental or technical ability, and I'm looking forward to the fruits of this tour for Eben.'
Erasmus cautioned Etzebeth against complacency, imploring him to remain focused and honest in his self-appraisal.
'The challenge for him is to stay grounded. The moment you start believing good or bad press you lose focus. When you base your assessment of your game on what others are saying, and don't personally recognise your weaknesses and address them, you are going to have a problem,' he said.
'I went through that and made those mistakes. He probably will too, which is not a bad thing provided he takes the lessons from that experience.'

McDaniel Fans Career-High 16 as Baseball Beats #2 Erskine 6-3; Only Unbeaten Team Left in CC Tourney
April 16, 2010
WILSON, N.C. The pitching performance of the 2010 Conference Carolinas Baseball Tournament was turned in Friday night, but not from the player most people expected. Although the leagues pitcher of the year, Erskines William Buzhardt, was a starter in the contest, it was Pfeiffer Universitys John McDaniel who turned in a dominant outing, holding the nations second-best scoring team to just three runs on six hits while striking out 16 in a 6-3 victory over the Flying Fleet. Pfeiffer faces the winner of the Anderson/Erskine elimination game at 7:00 p.m. Friday night.
The Pfeiffer offense, meanwhile, chased Buzhardt (11-2) after just two-thirds of an inning, batting around and erupting for five runs on seven hits. The Falcons led off the inning with three consecutive singles, scored one run on a double play ball, then put together four more hits in a row, the last three of them doubles.
From there, the Falcons simply rode the arm of McDaniel (5-5), who was nearly untouchable. The junior right-hander from Mocksville, N.C., gave up just one hit in the games first six innings, and struck out 12 over that span. Erskine scored single runs in each of the final three innings, but it was too little, too late.
McDaniels effort helped Pfeiffer (26-25), the No. 4 seed, advance to Saturday as the lone unbeaten team left in the tourney field. Erskine (37-13) will play an 11 a.m. elimination game with Anderson, and the winner of that contest will face Pfeiffer at 7 p.m.
Josh Strickland and Aarin Sharpe each had three hits to pace the Falcons offensively, while Zack Pou added a pair of hits and Jesse Dunn drove in a pair. Zach McCarty had two of the Fleets six hits, including his seventh home run of the year in the ninth inning.

For years, Kenda' most popular tires have been the Small Block 8 and Nevegal. Finally, they have created a tire that embodies the spirit of both the Nevegal and the Small Block. Excellent for intermediate to hard-packed terrain, you'll speed through the course, without worrying about slipping. Kenda's dual tread compound is the ultimate tread compound. With a harder compound in the center and Kenda's Stick-E compound on the cornering knobs, you'll have the best of both worlds, speed and grip!

Comments about Kenda Slant Six Cyclocross Tire:
I had been searching high and low for a good replacement for my worn out old Hutchinson Bulldogs. My setup: some of the older Ksyrium Elites with no holes in the rim bed, converted to tubeless. The Slant Six tires mounted up much more cleanly and tightly than the Hutchinsons, but I detect slightly more rolling resistance, probably because the tread is fresh. I also feel like these are slightly heavier than the Bulldogs, but again, they were severely worn, and I didn't weigh the tires to compare.
These tires grip like crazy on pretty much everything but deep sand and mud, which most tires have issues with anyway. On mixed courses with sand and mud, these will probably trap mud, then get coated with sand, which takes a little while to shed. In that meantime, cornering is a little sketchy. However, if you are racing mainly on grass and hardpack a la SoCalCross, this tire will demolish the competition. I ran two of these front and rear, but for even faster rolling, I suggest running a Small block 8 in the rear and a Slant Six in the front. However, you will lose a little of the hard cornering that the Slant Six is comfortable with. These are great tires.

Flight School Graduates
By Yussuf J. Simmonds
Tuskegee Airmen (continued)
"They allowed Black military men to fly the friendly skies with honor"
When the name Tuskegee is mentioned, it evokes many different emotions in Black people: the institute that was founded by Booker T. Washington; the syphilis experiment that was conducted on Black people by the U.S. government; and the group of fearless airmen that selflessly defended their country while flying the unfriendly skies for United (States).
When Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America, over 180 Tuskegee Airmen were there to witness the event. They were not sure it would have happened in their lifetime but they knew that their gallant efforts had made it possible. At age 89 and wheelchair bound, H.M. Cummings was there and he said, "I knew it had to happen, but I didn't expect it so soon." It was actually a long time for he recalled the humiliation of racism he suffered in the military during World War II.
So too did 84-year-old Billy Holloman, another one of the Tuskegee Airmen alumni, witnessed the inauguration and said, "I am proud to witness this changing of the guard in American politics."
Retired Lieutenant William Broadwater concluded, "The culmination of our efforts and others' was this great prize we were given on Nov. 4. Now we feel like we've completed our mission."
Though a longtime Republican, he supported Obama for president and after the inauguration he said, "We did it all." As a Tuskegee Airman, he served in Italy, North Africa and the Middle East during the war. After leaving the service, he moved to Los Angeles where he opened several clothing stores in Hollywood and South L. A.
And after the inauguration Vernon Robinson, who met fellow pilot of the U.S. Airways/Hudson River fame, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, said, "I never thought I would see a Black man become president of the United States."
Hundreds of Black men served as pilots and support personnel for the Tuskegee Airmen's unit. Those mentioned here are a sampling of the heroes who overcame obstacles, barriers and resistance to achieve success despite tremendous odds.
As a member of the Tuskegee Airman 332nd Fighter Group, Elbert T. Hudson completed 23 combat missions during his career and achieved the rank of 1st lieutenant. After retiring in 1945, he became a probation officer, an attorney and served as chairman and CEO of Broadway Federal Bank. He was also an LAPD commissioner, President of the L.A. branch of the NAACP, board member of the Brotherhood Crusade and the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance.
During World War II, Coleman Young served in the 477th Medium-Bomber Group of Tuskegee Airmen as a bombardier and navigator. As a lieutenant in the 477th, he played a role in the Freeman Field Mutiny in which 162 African-American officers were arrested for resisting segregation at a base near Seymour, Indiana in 1945. He became the longest serving mayor of Detroit, Michigan.
Roger Perry was the only member of the 477th Bombardment Group of the Tuskegee Airmen convicted in the Freeman Field Mutiny for attempting to integrate an all-white officer's club. Though he was dishonorably discharged in 1945, Perry went on to earn a law degree and became an investigator for the L.A. County District Attorney's office. He received a pardon in 1995.
When the United States Military needed pilots in World War II, Black men were not initially allowed to fly the military "friendly" skies. The military reflected society and society was segregated. Black men were not allowed to be military pilots and the Tuskegee Airmen evolved from willingness of Blacks to serve their country and the needs of the U.S. military for skilled pilots. The willingness and the need blended together and 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps came into being and became the Tuskegee Airmen.. They flew with honor and distinction despite the harsh realities of racial segregation.
In 1941, the U.S. Congress drafted legislation mandating the U.S. Military to form an all-Black combat unit. The Defense Department was reluctant and with good justification: the treatment that White society - sanctioned and institutionalized by the government - meted out to Blacks was so repugnant that the government asked the question, "what if?" relative to arming "its" Black citizens. The reality was Black men wanted to become soldiers to serve "their" country, even if the country did not serve them. Thus was born the Tuskegee Airmen.
The Defense Department tried to derail the all-Black unit from its inception despite the mandate from Congress. The department set the bar so high believing that there would not be enough qualified Blacks to fill the positions. It was wrong. There was an abundance of Black pilots from the Civilian Pilot Training Program who had been trained at the Tuskegee Institute since 1939.
Racial segregation conditions were strictly enforced even the flight surgeons who supported the training of the Black unit, had to be Black, and they were trained through correspondence courses. It was not until 1943 that two Black doctors were admitted to the Army's School of aviation medicine. The normal tour of duty was four years and Black doctors had to live under the same segregated conditions as their servicemen patients. The chief flight surgeon was Dr. Vance H. Marchbanks, Jr, a boyhood friend of General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr, a Tuskegee Airmen.
The first five cadets to graduate from Tuskegee Airbase were: Captain Davis, Lieutenants Custis, Ross, DeBow and Roberts. At the end of World War II only Lt. Mac Ross had been deceased. Though still segregated, the Tuskegee Airmen officially entered the military family in June 1941 as the 99th Fighter Squadron under the command of Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., a graduate of West Point Military Academy. Now trained and ready for action, a petition still had to be sent to Washington for combat approval of a trained army unit because they were Black.
Ironically, the unit was deployed to North Africa. Their first combat mission was to attack an island off the coast of North Africa in the Mediterranean Sea. They were successful and were eventually moved to Sicily, Italy, prior to the Allied Invasion. The 99th received a Distinguished Unit Citation for its performance in combat, but was still segregated.
Despite the citation, the unit was reported to have been less than combat-
worthy which resulted in a critical article in the national media. The Tuskegee Airmen were accused of incompetence primarily based on lack of experience, which they were not allowed to get via more combat missions. Then a colonel, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. came to their rescue and with the assistance of a White general, prevented a disbandment of the unit through a total review of the 99th squadron's performance in the Mediterranean Theater.
That review bolstered the unit and three new squadrons were drafted from Tuskegee and sent to Africa where, along with the initial unit, they formed the 332nd Fighter Group. Initially, they were equipped with P-40 Warhawks but later on came to be identified with the P-51 Mustang.
During the raid on Anzio in January 1944, 11 of the 99th squadron pilots had shot down enemy planes and by the end of the Anzio operation, they had the highest score of shooting down enemy aircrafts. After that performance, they were assigned to attacking German positions and bombing enemy strong point to force the surrender of the German garrison. For those actions, they won their second Distinguished Unit Citation. Ironically, it was reported that the captured White German soldiers received better treatment from the White U.S. soldiers that the Black U.S. soldiers did.
In the spring of 1944, more combat ready troops came out of Tuskegee and joined the 332nd Fighter Group in Italy still under the command of Colonel Davis. They escorted bombing raids into Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary and Poland. They earned an enviable reputation and were referred to by the Germans as "Schwarze Vogelmenschen," Black Birdmen; the Allies called them "Redtails" named from the distinctive reddish paint of their aircrafts. Some of the pilots were in that operation was Lt. Dempsey W. Morgan, Lt. Carroll S. Woods, Lt. Robert H. Nelson, Jr., Capt. Andrew D. Turner and Lt. Clarence P. Lester. After they returned to the U.S., they became part of the 477th Bombardment Group, redesignated as the 477th Composite Group.
By the end of World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen had flown more than 1500 missions and had shot down over 100 enemy aircrafts, sunk a destroyer and destroyed a multitude of trucks, trains and fuel dumps. Furthermore, they had lost only three P-51s. In addition to their third Distinguished Unit Citation, they also received several Silver Stars, 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 8 Purple Hearts, 14 Bronze Stars and 744 Air Medals. Almost 1000 pilots were trained at the Tuskegee Airbase between 1940 and 1946; 445 were deployed overseas and 150 had lost their lives in combats and/or accidents. But the unit was still segregated.
Controversy arose as to the accuracy of the records relative to the Tuskegee Airmen after the war, followed by numerous investigations that followed them through every war since including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. (The Air Force was still conducting historic re-evaluation and reassessment of the unit in 2006). However, no account seemed to have mentioned the harsh racial conditions that the men from Tuskegee had to endure. In essence they fought against two enemies: one in the overseas theater and the other at "home" in the U.S. It was not until 1948, that President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 and the U.S. military began to loosen its rigid racial segregation policies. The veteran Tuskegee Airmen were then in high demand throughout the U.S. Air Force and in civilian flight schools. Later on, many also became commercial airline pilots.
As in any war, record keeping is difficult and in its aftermath, research is even more difficult. But the fundamental issue remained and Holloman said that the Tuskegee story is not about the accuracy of the record, but about the pilots who rose above adversity and discrimination to open the doors that were once closed to Black America.
After their tours of duty, many of the unit's members went on to achieve milestones in their civilian careers as they did in the military: such as George L. Brown who became lieutenant governor of Colorado; Lemuel A. Lewis who earned a master's degree and taught science and math at George W. Carver High School in Baltimore; Lt. Col. Charles Dryden, author of "A-Train: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman;" and Celes King III, a businessman and influential community leader in Los Angeles. Others have kept a close-knit association and usually participate in many annual events.
In 2005, Lt. Colonels Lee Archer and Robert Ashby, and Sergeants James Sheppard and George Watson flew to Iraq on a speaking tour as part of the "re-incarnation" of the 332nd. President George W. Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal to about 300 airmen in 2007 - some posthumously, via their widows - whose medals were to be displayed in the Smithsonian Museum. The airfield where the pilots trained is now a national historic site; there is a Tuskegee Airmen Memorial at Walterboro Army Airfield in South Carolina; and two congressmen have led an initiative to create a commemorative postage stamp in their honor.
Finally, a movie, "The Tuskegee Airmen," was made starring Laurence Fishburne and another, to be titled "Redtails," is presently being developed and will star Samuel L. Jackson, who is also scheduled to be the director.
