Ron Helmer is in his fourth season as the Indiana Director and Head Coach of Men's and Women's Track and Field and Cross Country after being named to the position on May 25, 2007.
Helmer's third year at Indiana proved to be record-setting. The Indiana women advanced to the NCAA Championships in cross country for the first time since 2004. With 13 indoor All-Americans, Helmer's squads produced more All-America certificates than any other indoor season in IU history. The IU men finished sixth overall at the NCAA Indoor Championships, marking the best performance by an IU team since Aarik Wilson won two NCAA crowns at the 2005 meet.
Not to be outdone, the Hoosier women posted a 16th-place finish at the NCAA outdoor meet, while the men took 20th. Indiana finished the year with 18 All-Americans, nine Big Ten champions and three Big Ten Athlete of the Year Awards.
The biggest highlight of the year for Indiana in 2010 was Derek Drouin. The sophomore won NCAA titles during the indoor and outdoor seasons in the high jump. He was named Big Ten Field Athlete of the Year for both seasons as well. The NCAA crowns are the fifth and sixth by a Helmer pupil. Drouin also added the Canadian National Championship to his credit on the season.
On the women's side, Molly Beckwith highlighted the season with a second-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 800m. Beckwith followed her NCAA performance with a tour of Europe, where she finished an 800m race in 1:59.83. That performance merited a professional contract with Saucony.
Andy Bayer had a remarkable indoor campaign, breaking four minutes in the mile and eight minutes in the 3,000m, and then taking third at NCAAs in the 3,000m a day after posting an astonishing comeback for seventh place in the distance medley relay after dropping the baton. He was joined by Andrew Poore as an All-American in the 3,000m. Also earning All-America honors in the distance medley relay were De'Sean Turner, Kind Butler and Danny Stockberger. Turner added All-America honors to his resume in the steeplechase.
Juniors Faith Sherrill and Sarah Pease had breakout seasons in 2010. Sherrill was the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Year after smashing three IU records in the throws and earning three All-America certificates. She also took two Big Ten titles, indoors in the weight throw and outdoors in the shot put. Pease made a name for herself in the 3,000m steeplechase, taking fourth at both the NCAA Championships and the USA Championships. Ashley Rhoades earned All-America honors at the NCAA indoor meet in the high jump.
Indiana track and field showed itself as a program on the rise in 2009, registering eight All-Americans across all three seasons. During the cross country season, Helmer had two of his pupils earn All- Big Ten honors, in Timothy McLeod and Wendi Robinson. Robinson later qualified for the NCAA Championships, where she earned All-America honors with a 28th-place finish.
During the indoor season, Helmer saw Big Ten title wins from Tiffany Howard (shot put) and Jeff Coover (pole vault). He also saw Molly Beckwith and Derek Drouin earn All-Big Ten honors. Coover was named Great Lakes Region Field Athlete of the Year and went on to earn All-America honors for a fourth-place finish in the pole vault. Drouin went on to finish as the NCAA runner-up in the high jump, and Vera Neuenswander and the team's distance medley relay foursome each claimed All-America honors. In total, nine Hoosiers made the trip to the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas.
The outdoor slate saw the Hoosiers claim three more All-America certificates and three more Big Ten titles. Drouin (high jump), Kiwan Lawson (long jump) and Ashley Rhoades (high jump) all won Big Ten crowns, and three more IU athletes earned All-Big Ten honors. Drouin was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and went on to claim Great Lakes Region Athlete of the Year. Twenty-three Hoosiers made the trip to the Mideast Regional and seven advanced to the NCAA Championships. Neuenswander and Drouin each won the regional. At the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville Ark., Tiffany Howard, Sarah Pease and Vera Neuenswander claimed All-America honors. Neuenswander finished second in the pole vault. Neuenswander went on to garner ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors.
In his first season at the helm of the Hoosiers, Helmer guided the men's and women's track and field teams to improvements during the indoor and outdoor seasons. The indoor portion of the year was highlighted by a Big Ten individual championship for Audrey Smoot in the 600-meter run and a Big Ten runner-up honor from Kyle Jenkins in the triple jump. The indoor season culminated in a trio of Hoosiers representing the women's team at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Robinson, Molly Beckwith and Stephanie Chin.
Helmer's first outdoor season at IU also proved successful as Indiana posted 10 medalists, including two Big Ten individual champions with Jenkins in the triple jump and Lawson in the long jump. The success from the Big Ten Championships led to the NCAA Mideast Region Championships as 23 Hoosiers made the trip to Fayetteville, resulting in seven student-athletes from Indiana competing in the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Hoosiers produced two All-Americans in Lawson and Coover.
Helmer also helped two young cross country squads to new heights with fresh faces on the staff and on the roster. In just her first year of cross country, Pease took the leadership role for the women's squad finishing as the top Hoosier in every meet for IU. On the men's side, Helmer led Indiana to its first team appearance in the NCAA Championships since 2005 with a group that included three true freshmen. IU, led by junior McLeod, placed 28th overall as a team after a fourth place finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional.
Prior to coming to IU, Helmer served as the director and head coach at Georgetown University for eight years. He was promoted to director in July 1999 after serving as associate head coach with the Hoyas for seven seasons and assistant coach the five years prior. During his tenure, 120 of his student-athletes earned a total of 342 All-America recognitions, including 41 student-athletes receiving 96 certificates since becoming director in 1999. In addition, 219 student-athletes captured BIG EAST individual titles, including 67 after he became director.
At the NCAA Championships, he guided 27 athletes or relay teams to a top-three finish, highlighted by four national champions - Joline Staeheli (mile, 1996), Miesha Marzell (1500m, 1996) and two distance medley relay champions (1997, 1999). He also saw his teams earn 22 top-10 finishes in NCAA Championship action, including a streak of 15 straight at the cross country championships that ended in 2003. Among the top-10 finishes were seven top-four trophy finishes, including a third at the 1998 NCAA Indoor Championships and a fourth-place finish at the 2002 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Helmer led Hoya teams to the Championship of America relay titles at the Penn Relays, the latest being the 2004 men's 4x800m squad with a time of 7:13.75, the seventh-fastest time in collegiate history. He was part of 37 BIG EAST Championship teams and his student-athletes were honored 11 times as the Robert A. Duffey Scholar-Athlete award winner, given to the student-athlete who best embodies academic and athletic excellence.
In January 2006, Helmer was the recipient of the Coaches Achievement Program award presented by Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. The Coaches Achievement Program honors coaches at select BIG EAST member institutions for excellence in coaching, mentoring and community service.
Helmer came to Georgetown from Woodbridge High School in Virginia, where he served as head coach for four years. Prior to that, he was the head coach at Virginia High School in Bristol, Va., for eight years.
He was named Virginia Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1980 and 1983, along with being selected as the Virginia Girls' Track Coach of the Year in 1981. Topping off the honors, Helmer was selected as the Boys' Cross Country Coach of the Decade in Virginia. During his career, Helmer's teams won 45 district, 35 regional and 10 state championships. Individually, he produced nine high school All-Americans and 13 Foot Locker National Cross Country qualifiers.
Helmer is a graduate of Southwestern College located in Winfield, Kan., where he received a bachelor of arts degree in math. In October 2004, he was inducted into the Southwestern College Athletic Hall of Fame. He continued his education at East Tennessee State University, where he earned his master's degree in physical education, with a focus in biomechanics and human kinetics.
Helmer's wife, Mary, is a seventh-grade teacher. They have three children, Tori, 32, a high school math teacher and track coach, Justin, 27, a high school business teacher and basketball and track coach, and Kari, 22, a senior at IU, and a three-year-old granddaughter - Rylee and a two-year-old grandson - Brody (pictured on previous page with Helmer and his wife, Mary).

Egoiste Platinum is my favorite.
Thread: Poll : Chanel Male Scents
Chanel male scents

Egoiste Platinum is my favorite.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I'm gonna go with Tiffany for Men as a write in vote.... Chanel nose Jacques Polge created the scent, and if I'm not mistaken, Chanel owns the fragrance (though not the jewelry company)...
Would have loved to try some vintage Antaeus thuogh....
LEgoiste.... Obviosuly.
Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport: not so obvious. It is a nice cologne with bergamote grapefruit and vetiver... Not quite long lasting but it is a cologne. That's why you get a 5 oz bottle.
I voted for Egoiste, but prefer the Egoiste Concentree version
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
Several of the Chanel Exclusives boutique scents make good masculines - arguably much better than the traditional masculines on the list. Among them: Cuir de Russie, Bel Respiro, Eau de Cologne, and Sycomore.
Have just made my 3 votes.
If I may ask, what is the reason for this poll (and the other similar ones you've posted on the boards)?
Are you planning on making a purchase based upon the most popular responses?
Allure Homme Sport EDT (silver bottle). I like the combo of the vanilla and the aqauatic. Longeavity and projection are excellent.
The women's compliments when I wear it are an extra bonus!
I speak for myself when I say Im certain no-one here is verbally attacking you afraafra. I didn't read Ruggles post in any other light other than a positive one.
The trouble with such polls is that you will never gather an accurate cross section of answers, particularly when things like, for example, the Chanel Exclusives (as mentioned by Vibert) are omitted from the poll list. I think this is what Ruggles referred to when he said you were mapping the "mainstream" fragrance world.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I have a couple of faves but the all-time most used and most bought would be CD Sauvage, tho in the recent 5 years ive expanded my range quite significantly, all mine are mainstream tho, since i only heard of niche when i joined this forum.
Two steps forward. One step back.
That said, I happily voted for Antaeus and Concentree. As for the Allures, well, they might work well as drain cleaners...

Everyone is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts. Daniel Moynihan
Egoiste and Pour Monsieur are my Chanel favorites for men.
"A great perfume is a work of art, it can lift our days, haunt our nights and create the milestones of our memories. Fragrance is liquid emotion. And that never goes out of fashion. " MICHAEL EDWARDS
I voted for:
1. Chanel PMC, because a certain five year old girl insists that I wear it when we're together.
2. Antaeus, because the grown-up girls like it.
3. Egoiste, because I like it.
Snarky is as snarky does.
I really like Egoiste Platinum.....I for got to vote for PM.....I also like all of the Allures.
Egoiste is my vote.
I voted both here and in the women's thread. I also very much like the Exclusifs line, but I suppose if the point of the polls is to get ideas for things that are readily available in department stores, it makes sense to leave them out.
Go Antaeus Go!
Offsite Sales - Updated June7th
Vintage Dia, Vetiver Dry, Angel parfum, Opium parfum for Sale:
Pour Monsieur, because it´s the best "Chypre p.H." around
Antaeus, because it´s "No 5 pour Homme"
Egoiste, because it´s the beautiful grandchild ot the divine "Bois des Iles"
I didn't know that. I must admit, it doesn't surprise me. Tiffany for Men is everything both the Chanel PMs should have been, but better.
I voted for Chanel Egoiste Platinum. It's just such a versatile fragrance in a way Egoiste just isn't, as it can be too heavy for some uses.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
Pour Monseiur 1955 all tha' way!
- A spritz of Caron may be quite continental, but (a flacon of) Guerlain is a perfumisto's best friend...
I only sampled three of those but I've voted anyway. Egoiste, Egoiste Platinum and Pour Monsieur. My favorite by far is Egoiste.
Looking for a sample of Gucci Envy Me.
Allure Homme and Egoiste got my vote.
Anteus I don't like, way too 80's
Voted for Pour Monsieur, both the original and the concentree.

Love Antaeus,everyone says it is very 80,s.I was in my prime socialising days in the 80,s and always wore it although I have a bottle now it seems to be a very watered down version of the original.Some of the new fragrances to me smell too girly and flowery and though I dont mind it on others I would rather have the 80,s powerhouse scents.
Someone tell me if I am correct about the strength now compared to 20 yrs ago?
Afraafra ..
I feel you should learn a little trick !!
On the top left corner is the search function .
Use it in advanced mode & search in titles .
Reason I say this is I noticed your YSL poll running as well .
Well .. I have news !! we already have results ..
I ran a poll earlier in the year & yes I checked thoroughly prior to posting it .
Anyway it will be interesting to see who wins it this time .
& do remember that some of us could suffer PB .... poll burnout

Hello everyone. This is my first post here as a new member of your community.
I voted for Chanel Allure Blanche. I tried it last week over the weekend. For the time being I have Chanel Platinum Egoiste and Chanel Allure. I went to a perfume store to try other Chanel perfumes. So I sprayed Blanche, Egoiste and Allure Homme Sport on 3 different blotters. When at home, i put them on a table in my room and went to have something for lunch. When i came back to the room, it all was filled with this wonderful smell of Allure Edition Blanche. The smell was so amazing that it made me forgot about what i was going to do. It was like an explosion.

You didn't list the best Chanel for men so I'll inform you what that is:
Egoiste Concentree
Would the inclusion of No19 be out of place here....? on the premise of "recent trends"?
I'm about to get this one, and I am stoked!
please see this thread and the surprise about no.19:
Bois des Isle and no 19 and Cuir de Russie could all have got votes as unisex.

1. Antaeus.. -So Elegant and exlusive!
2. Pour Monseuir concentree.. -Timeless, classic, and great longevity..
3. Allure Edition Blanc.. - Nice, modern and surpricing
4. Allure Pour Homme.. -A classic for young and old. Spicy and fruity like only Chanel can do it!
I used to like Platinum Egoiste before, but one day i was wearing it a day after a party on the town..(I bit sick i was) After that, i just can`t stand it! It reminds me of that day, and i almost throw-up vhen i smell it!
My personal favorite wasn't listed - Egoiste Concentree

I voted for just one...

I voted for Platinum Egoiste, Allure Homme and Allure Homme Sport.
Current Top 5
1. Creed Aventus
2. A*Men Pure Malt
3. L'instant Extreme
4. Nasomatto Duro
5. CDG - Kyoto
I voted for the 2 versions of Pour Monsieur. They are my favorites. I also like Antaeus, but it is a "wilder" perfume, not as classy as Pour Monsieur.
Egoiste from this resurrected 2008 poll.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.

The ASPCA is currently on the ground assisting the Milwaukee Police Department and the District Attorney of Milwaukee County with a multi-site dog fighting raid in the City of Milwaukee. Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission is transporting, sheltering and caring for the dogs.
Today, eight search warrants were executed at eight crime scenes, where 23 suspected fighting dogs were seized. Investigators also discovered blood on basement walls as well as other evidence of dog fighting, including treadmills, wound treatment supplies and muscle building supplements.
Experts from the ASPCA Field Investigations & Response (FIR) team are on hand to assist with evidence collection and documentation. The ASPCA has been assisting local authorities with this dog fighting investigation for nearly a year.
Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The ASPCA is committed to eradicating the blood sport. We have designated April 8 as the first National Dog Fighting Awareness Day to advance the conversation about dog fighting, and to encourage animal lovers across the country to take action against this brutal form of cruelty.
Please join the movement and take a stand. And stay tuned to ASPCA.org/blog for more information about this developing case.
Pictured above is one of hundreds of dogs rescued from a previous federal dog fighting bust across the Southern U.S. in August 2013.
What a good and decent service you've done to those neglected and abandoned dogs. Best luck in your employment endeavors, Cami.
I hope that changes. If charges are never filed, could the dogs be returned to owner? That would be tragic. These cases must be completed from beginning to end. Hope the "16" being held are well cared for, vetted, etc. Have they really been held for 5 years. Is it a comfort at all that they are not being used as fighting machines? Maybe a little. We must change laws so that animals are more than property and have rights.
WTF?...maybe they should have left them where they were...they would probably be dead by now and out of misery. Seriously,5 years? Have any of these dogs been determined to be non-aggressive,or rehabilitated? This situation is almost more disturbing than the fighting rings. Again, WTF?
That is a terrible law! On top of that, any dog being "held" in a kennel environment becomes nervous and anxious. "Humanely disposed of", REALLY!!!!!! In Texas a dog can be adopted out by the ACC as long as it is not a danger or is dying. Glad I don't live in WI. Poor animals.
I think "humanely disposing" the owner is a GREAT idea!
U guys r such a blessing sent from Heaven to save and protect these precious innocent fur-babies from such cruel heartless ppl...I am proud to say that I donate when possible and wish I could do more!...God Bless u all!
This is wonderful that they (ASPCA) has finally gotten here. But what about the dogs that were found I believe it was 2 years ago and were being held in solitary. The people were free, but the dogs no longer needed for evidance were still in cages.
Are they still alive, I have asked the news dept and no response. Or are they part of this investigation, rescued from fighting but locked up for over 2 years. ???

Why do all Window systems slow down over time?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 1/31/13 3:48 PM
Why do all Window systems slow down over time?
Lee, I learn quite a bit from your members and discussions. I do have a few questions for you about Windows. It appears to me that any version of Windows runs fast when it is new, but slows down dramatically over time. Why is that? Is it the case that every Windows update gets installed each time you turn on your computer? Or other reasons? I am very careful to not have programs like Adobe reader always in memory. Also does this problem exist in other computers not running Windows, or issue I experience exclusive to Windows systems? Any explanation as why this happens would be grateful. And if there is method to prevent the slow downs over time, it would be a bonus to learn about! Thank you.

And … they're off.
Filing for elections in Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties began Friday with not a single surprise in
As he had previously announced, former Kinston City Manager Ralph Clark was at the Lenoir County Board of Elections at noon on Friday. He paid his $10 filing fee and became the first candidate for mayor in
The question is this, though: Is he going to be the only candidate? It's entirely possible — there has been absolutely no chatter out there of who will challenge
It's literally the same way for the Kinston City Council; incumbent Bobby Merritt has announced he won't run for reelection while another potential candidate, John Nix, said he won't run, either. The other incumbent, Robbie Swinson, has indicated in the past he will run for reelection, but he's made no other formal statement — and he didn't file on Friday, either.
I fully understand why it's tough to be a mayor, city councilman or county commissioner: in our busy lives, it's hard to carve out enough time to do the job the right way. Nix said that was primarily the reason for his deciding not to run this year — his surveying business is keeping him hopping and he knew he couldn't be the city councilman
Murphy decided not to run for reelection for the same reason; additionally, he has two young daughters that he's missing while he's at city council meetings and budget meetings.
The elected positions are also underappreciated, for the most part. Even if you truly listen to your constituents and do what you think is right, there are ALWAYS going to be detractors from the other side of the political spectrum trying to tear you down.
Like our coaches at area high schools and middle schools, elected officials in Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties are basically serving for love of the game or love of their communities, because they're getting paid literally a dollar or two an hour for the time invested.
Filing continues until noon on Friday, July 19.
As we have done the past few elections, The Free Press will be your one-stop spot for Election 2013. Leading up to the general election, we will be helping conduct at least one and perhaps two or three candidate forums for contested races in
In my other role as the editor of The Jones Post, we're planning to have similar forums for the contested races in
Additionally, we're bringing back the election podcasts, where candidates will — in their own voices and words — tell you exactly what they stand for and what they're all about. All the candidates are asked the same questions and given the same time limits to answer the questions.
You'll be able to access the podcasts 24 hours a day at Kinston.com in the month or so leading up to the election on Nov. 5, so you will be able to make an informed decision before you enter the voting booth.
Bryan C. Hanks is the editor of The Free Press; his column appears in this space every Sunday. You can reach him at 252-559-1074 and at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @BCHanks.

RYAN VREDE saw the Sharks comprehensively beat Western Province 43-27 in difficult conditions at Kings Park.
Durban was battered with a sustained torrential downpour which completely waterlogged the surface. This made any sort of skill beyond a high punt or forward-based phase play near impossible and consequently adversely affected the quality of the match. The Sharks mastered the conditions while WP sunk. Furthermore, their discipline was atrocious, with Jebb Sinclair and Tyrone Holmes red carded for punching and Wilhelm van der Sluys (harshly) yellow carded.
Bombs were blended with grinding forward play, the Sharks better at taking advantage of the infringements forced through this method, Meyer Bosman kicking five penalties to go with four conversions for a 23 point haul.
Despite dominating large passages of play, WP simply never threatened to regularly break down a physical and accurate Sharks defensive unit. Their rolling maul got some purchase, but beyond that their tactical kicking game lacked the consistent precision to drive them into good field positions and their ball-in-hand play was uninspiring. The Sharks absorbed the pressure well, refusing to undermine their cause by becoming loose and profited as a result.
Bosman and Demetri Catrakilis traded three pointers to get the scoreboard going before Sharks flank Jacques Botes finished a slick move. The match meandered through dour passages thereafter, Bosman and Catrakilis continuing their boot war to leave the Sharks 16-12 ahead at the break.
Bosman banked six more points after the restart and the odds swung in the Sharks' favour when Sinclair decked Jean Deysel to earn an early shower. Keegan Daniel scored shortly thereafter, sniping through the middle of a ruck to score.
WP's rebuttal was good, Louis Schreuder driving over from close range after the defensive line had been depleted, Catrakilis adding the extras. But that good work was undone when Holmes jabbed Botes, who rubbed salt into the wounds by scoring shortly thereafter.
Schreuder intercepted and sprinted 80m to score, giving WP faint hope of what would have been a remarkable result in the circumstances. But Joe Pietersen missed the conversion that would have put them in contention for a draw. The game ended with a five-man WP scrum conceding a penalty try.

- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
This discussion has been archived. No new comments can be posted.
A white paper is a document a company will write that may detail one of many things. Often (for me), they are put out by vendors detailing information on products, how to use the products, or use cases by companies who have implemented the product. Normally if we write something, it is specific to how we used a product to assist a customer, or sometimes how to configure the product and avoid the standard problems a new user would run into.
I am very happy to see a nice response as if someone is taking part in an online community, instead of some jack ass saying 'Google is your friend'.
Thank you.

I just saw Thornton Wilder's play Our Town. I trust most of you red-blooded Americans are familiar with it.
There is something about this play that bothers me. It is a beautiful, powerful, thought-provoking, moving play about life and how often we take it for granted and fail to really live it. But Wilder chooses to make this point by looking at life from the point of view of fully aware dead people. The Narrator makes a little speech in the third act about how "we know it in our bones that there si something about us that's eternal." Later one of the dead people says to her newly dead daughter-in-law that she just not look back at her time on earth, but look forward to what's ahead. What's ahead for a dead person? This was clearly a reference to the Resurrection of the dead, wasn't it? The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised and all that…
The same point could have easily been made without resorting to Christian dogma. And it has been made - by Lynn Redgrave in her one-woman play (whose name I forget). In it she recounts the life of her grandmother, how she was a little girl, grew up, married a man she did not love, never had an orgasm, was not close to her children and suddenly she found herself to be an old woman, thinking "There was so much I wanted to do; I thought I had more time, I thought I had more time!"
And frankly, that is a more powerful message. If there is something in us that's eternal, that lives on, that what's the big deal about living? If there is something to come, if eternity awaits us, what's the big deal about wasting our lives? Life is a mere Augenblick in comparison with "whats' to come", eternity.
So, is this religious worldview really that deeply ingrained in the American mentality? Do most Americans really see life through the lens of Christian dogma? And if so, could this be an indicator that the de-Christianization of America is going to take much longer than it did in Western Europe?


text: This may help explain the behavior of those who bully the likes of Finkelstein, Jimmy Carter, Chomsky, Mearsheimer, Walt etc when they speak out against the immoral actions committed against the Palestinians. Bullies were often abused themselves and this is likely the case here. Those who are labeled as Zionists have often been abused by society around them for their religious beliefs and/or ethnicity. This in no way excuses the bullying or abuse by anyone but it does provide another point where changes can be made to stop this insane cycle of intolerance and violence.

DEBORAH BUCK, violin
ROBERT THIES, piano
Deborah Buck and Robert Edward Thies have graced the Athenaeum stage in the past, both in solo recitals and in chamber ensembles. Each time the response has been an overwhelming, "When will they return?" So, don't miss a rare and wonderful opportunity to hear these two superb musicians in concert once again.
Described by Strad magazine as "Particularly impressive for her surpassing degree of imagination and vibrant sound," violinist Deborah Buck has built a strong musical career as chamber musician, concertmaster, and soloist. She enjoys a versatile musical life as the first violinist of the LARK Quartet and the tenured Concertmaster of the Brooklyn Philharmonic. Ms. Buck is also a frequent concerto soloist, appearing with the Little Orchestra Society at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Philharmonic, West Virginia Symphony, Santa Cecelia Chamber Orchestra in Los Angeles, and the Philadelphia Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra. As recitalist, Buck has performed at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. and over the airways via broadcasts of the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago for WFMT and "Sunday's Live" in Los Angeles for KKGO.
The recipient of many honors and awards, her violin solos for television helped breathe life back into the re-mastered American Silent Film classic, "The Scarlet Letter," (1926) (Turner Classic Movies). Ms. Buck was educated at the Juilliard School as a Starling Scholar of Dorothy DeLay and the University of Southern California as a student of Robert Lipsett where she was the recipient of the Jascha Heifetz Violin Prize. In 2010, Ms. Buck was named Executive Director of the Kinhaven Music School where she has served on the summer faculty in Weston, Vermont for the past ten years. Ms. Buck performs on a violin by Vincenzo Postiglione graciously on loan by Ray and Marcia Corwin.
CMC is also privileged to welcome back to the Athenaeum Los Angeles-based pianist Robert Edward Thies. Thies was catapulted into the international spotlight in 1995 by winning the top prize at the Second International Profokiev Competition, a renowned piano contest held in St. Petersburg, Russia. Thies' victory was the first by an American in any Russian piano competition since 1958 — an impressive accomplishment for any artist, let alone one who was in his mid-20's at the time. Since that time, Thies has garnered a reputation as a consummate, graceful musician with a keen poetic sense and a remarkably diverse repertoire.
Thies studied under Robert Turner and Daniel Pollock, who were themselves students of the great Russian masters Madame Rosina and Josef Lhevinne. Thies has enjoyed a diverse musical career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He has appeared with such orchestras as the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic, Mexico City Philharmonic, the National Symphony of Mexico, Auckland Philharmonia (New Zealand), and the Naples Philharmonic. In 2001, Thies completed a recital tour of 40 American cities, and he has collaborated with numerous chamber music ensembles. Thies' location in Los Angeles has also made him a highly sought-after studio musician, and he has contributed to the film scores of such renowned composers as James Horner and Danny Elfman. His debut solo album, Live in Recital, was released in February 2006.
An Evening with the Author
Born on a dirt street in Tijuana, Mexico, Luis Alberto Urrea was the first in his family to graduate from college. He is now a college professor. But he is most known for being a prolific writer of books, short stories, essays, and poetry – both fiction and non-fiction. His mission is to use dual-culture life experience to explore greater themes of love, loss, and triumph.
Urrea's first book, Across the Wire: Life and Hard Times on the Mexican Border (1993), earned recognition as a New York Times notable book of 1993, and his 12 subsequent books – as well as his poetry, essays, and short stories – have continued to garner similar praise. His 1999 memoir, Nobody's Son: Notes from an American Life (1998), won an American Book Award; Six Kinds of Sky: A collection of Short Fiction (2002) was named the 2002 small-press fiction Book of the Year by ForeWord magazine; his work appeared in the 1996 Best American Poetry collection; in 2009, he won the Edgar Award for best short story from the Mystery Writers of America. The Devil's Highway (2004), which tells the true story of Mexican immigrants lost in the Arizona desert won the 2004 Lannan Literary Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Urrea's most recent book is Into the Beautiful North: A Novel (2009). It's the story of a group of young women from a small Mexican town who decide to find the town's young men, who have all immigrated to the U.S. The bestselling book uses strong narrative, poetic images, and charming humor to explore both the appeal of adventure and the enduring meaning of home.
A graduate of U.C. San Diego and the University of Colorado–Boulder, Urrea has taught at Harvard University, Massachusetts Bay Community College, the University of Colorado, and the University of Louisiana–Lafayette. He is now a professor of creative writing at the University of Illinois–Chicago.
Luis Alberto Urrea's visit to Claremont is jointly sponsored by the Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center, The Friends of Claremont Library, and the Athenaeum.

Beowulf: The Epic in Performance
Vocalist, harpist, and scholar Benjamin Bagby will be joining us at the Athenaeum for his lauded presentation of Beowulf: The Epic in Performance. Mr. Bagby accompanies his performance with a six-stringed harp, based on the excavated remains of similar seventh-century instruments. The retelling of Beowulf requires artistic skill and creativity, as well as a thorough understanding of the poem itself, the instrument, and the history surrounding medieval retellings of the tale. Mr. Bagby's performance of the epic poem has been praised by the British Theatre Guide, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, among others.
Beowulf is not Mr. Bagby's first foray into the performance of Germanic and Anglo-Saxon oral poetry, and he is also the founder and director of Sequentia, a Paris-based ensemble for medieval music.

Uneasy Compromise
LUNCHEON 11:45 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Few Americans can boast more experience in government and politics than Tom Campbell. Today the Donald P. Kennedy Chair in Law and Dean of the Chapman University School of Law, he has served at various times over the last 35 years in all three branches of the federal government, as well as in California state government. A two-time member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Campbell has also devoted much of his career to teaching and scholarship. His talk will examine the "uneasy compromise" between the President and Congress in the conduct of war.
Following his graduation from the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School, Campbell clerked in the U.S. Court of Appeals and then the Supreme Court, for Justice Byron R. White. After completing his Ph.D. in economics, Campbell joined the Reagan Administration, first as a White House Fellow, before moving to the Justice Department. From 1981 to 1983, he served as Director of the Bureau of Competition at the Federal Trade Commission.
In 1983, Campbell began teaching law at Stanford University, remaining on faculty there until 2002. Between 1989 and 2001, he served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, interrupted by two years as a California State Senator (1993-1995). Following his congressional service, Campbell became the Bank of America Dean and Professor of Business at U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business. During his tenure, the school rose from 15th to 2nd in the Wall Street Journal's national business school rankings. From 2004 to 2005, Campbell also served as the Director of the California Department of Finance.
In 2009, Campbell became a Presidential Scholar and Visiting Professor of Law and Economics at Chapman University. In February of this year, he was appointed Dean of the School of Law.
Dean Campbell's visit is being jointly hosted by the Rose Institute for State and Local Government and the Athenaeum.
Theology and Imagination
In 1939, Geoffrey Hartman joined thousands of other Jewish children escaping Nazi-occupied territories in the Kindertransport mission. After reuniting with his mother in the U.S., Hartman went on to become a leading literary scholar and theorist and a prominent public thinker on the Holocaust.
Hartman earned his Ph.D. in comparative literature at Yale University and has taught there nearly ever since, with stints at the University of Iowa and Cornell University, and visiting or advising positions at literally dozens of other schools and scholarly institutions. He remains on the faculty at Yale, as the Sterling Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, Senior Research Scholar, and the Project Director of the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies.
Hartman has authored 20 books and has served on the editorial boards of 14 different publications. He has advised and supported numerous national and community organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. He is a leading authority on Judaic and Holocaust studies in the U.S., Israel, and around the world. Hartman's efforts led to some of the earliest Holocaust survivor testimonies available to the public.
Professor Hartman's talk will evaluate the roles of reason and imagination in religious traditions, as expressed in the story of Creation. "It is my hope," he says, "that when theology's imaginative truths are fully explored they will be freed from dogmatism and appreciated also in a liberal arts curriculum."
Homage to Federico Garcia Lorca: Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of His Death
FRANCESC DE PAULA SOLER, guitar
Maestro Francesc de Paula Soler, a "Poet of the Guitar," is a prolific and virtuosic classical guitarist, appearing at the Athenaeum in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. His performances across the world have earned praise as both soulful and skillful – and in the tradition of the great Spanish guitarists.
Having studied music since the age of 6 and guitar since the age of 11, Soler has been teaching since 1969, and is the founder and director of El Centre de Guitarra del Maresme. He has lectured or performed at more than 60 colleges and universities in the United States and around the world. His most recent American tour was sponsored by the Spanish Embassy in the United States.
Soler's appearance features a tribute to Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the country's most famous writers of the 20th century. Lorca's murder during the Spanish Civil War has made him and his work important icons of Spanish democracy.
The recital is divided into two parts: the first, gives the audience the "Homage to Federico Garcia Lorca" and a panoramic view of the Spanish music for guitar; in the second, the artist presents, like a musical rainbow, some of the most representative composers of the Latin American guitar.
"A Writing Life in a 24-Hour News Cycle"
Professor Melissa Harris-Perry is a public intellectual for the twenty-first century. A distinguished professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is the founder and director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Race, Gender, and Politics in the South, Professor Harris-Perry is a frequent guest on the local and national news, and she regularly appears on NBC and MSNBC. She is a columnist for The Nation and is extremely active on Twitter. She has taught at the University of Chicago and Princeton University.
Harris-Perry is the author of Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought (2006), the winner of the 2005 W.E.B. Du Bois Book Award. In her new book, Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America; ; For Colored Girls Who've Considered Politics When Being Strong Isn't Enough (2011), she discusses the myths and misconceptions that inhibit black women's lives. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., praises Sister Citizen: "Melissa Harris-Perry is one of our most trenchant readers of modern black life… This book will change the conversation about the rights, responsibilities, and burdens of citizenship."
Professor Harris-Perry's talk, "A Writing Life in a 24-Hour News Cycle," will examine what it takes to engage in a meaningful writing life in our current age of constant internet, news, and social media attention. As we lose the time that used to be dedicated to single ideas, she wonders, what happens to the traditional basis of a writing life? As she provocatively asks, "Must we have Walden to create meaningful work or can we squeeze our best ideas into 140 characters?"
This lecture is sponsored by The Center for Writing and Public Discourse with generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Adam Smith's Dirty Little Secret: The Curiously Intimate Relationship between Markets and Morality
What type of a relationship is there between markets and morality? It is an important but seldom asked question, and if you are like many CMCers, you may be wondering if there is one at all. Professor Paul Hurley will illuminate just how closely the two are connected in his talk at the Athenaeum, "Adam Smith's Dirty Little Secret: The Curiously Intimate Relationship Between Markets and Morality."
One of CMC's most beloved professors, Professor Hurley is a mainstay in the Philosophy Department. He is the Edward J. Sexton Professor of Philosophy for CMC's popular Philosophy, Politics, and Economics program, and has been awarded the Roy P. Crocker Award for Merit at CMC. Professor Hurley has published multiple journal articles and his book, Beyond Consequentialism (2009), is highly respected in the world of philosophy.
Professor Hurley's areas of expertise include normative ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of law, and of course markets and morality. He also serves on the Review Board of the Encyclopedia of Ethics, as well as holding positions on many other important professional committees.

JON CARDINELLI analyses Saturday's clash in the Queensland capital and writes that the winner may not be the side that makes the big plays, but rather the team that makes the fewest errors.
It may seem an obvious statement to make, but then the Reds and Sharks have been anything but consistent this season.
Both have scraped through to the play-offs despite some woeful performances where the inconsistencies have cost them the result. There have also be instances where these teams have mixed the accurate with the erratic, and have still managed to come out on top.
If this is to be accepted, then what insight can statistics provide? Indeed, both teams should be expected to play more conservatively in a knockout match than they have in recent rounds. Four-try bonus points are no longer a priority, and this could be reflected in either team's approach.
But there is something to be gained by examining the stats of the Round 4 clash between these two teams. There is also value in the statistics when you look at how the referee for this match, Jonathan Kaplan, has officiated over the course of the 2012 season.
If we look at who is available for the coming match, and who was available for that Round 4 game in Durban, there are key differences but also many similarities. The Sharks will be without Pat Lambie this weekend, who played flyhalf in that previous game. The Reds are likely to play the same halfback pairing of Will Genia and Ben Lucas, as Quade Cooper is not available until a possible semi-final. The big omission for Queenslanders on this occasion will be that of lock James Horwill.
The Sharks won the Round 4 match 27-22 after trailing 17-10 at half-time. It was a game where the Sharks started badly, but found form as the match progressed. It was also a game where the Reds were hampered by a number of injuries throughout and were forced to finish with scrumhalf Genia in the flyhalf channel.
According to ruckingoodstats.com, both teams were guilty of many turnovers on that occasion, with the Reds (19) worse than the Sharks (14). The Reds made 10 handling errors on the day, and this obviously impacted on their ability to capitalise on a superior amount of possession (69% in the first half and 53% in the second). They may have also have edged the game but for some woeful goal-kicking where their kickers missed three attempts at posts.
Lambie was flawless in front of goal, converting all five attempts. But while the Sharks will miss Lambie's influence in the side, it must be noted that he has since been shifted to fullback with Freddie Michalak coming in at No 10. And apart from lending the Sharks some impetus from that flyhalf position, Michalak has also maintained an impressive goal-kicking record (81%) over the course of the season.
If the Reds impede this Saturday, the Sharks will feel confident that Michalak can make the hosts pay on the scoreboard. Ruckingoodstats reveals that of the 15 teams that played Super Rugby this season, the Reds were ranked third for penalties conceded (they conceded 10.6 penalties per match on average). The Sharks are ranked seventh overall in this respect.
Breaking it down further, the Reds are the biggest culprits when in possession, conceding more penalties than any of the other 14 teams. And looking at the rucks and mauls, the Reds are ranked second for the most penalties conceded.
Scrums aren't much better, with the Reds conceding the third most penalties. The Sharks will have noted this weakness, and as they boast one of the strongest and most disciplined scrums, they will surely look to target the Reds in this area.
At the other set piece, however, it is the Reds that are more threatening. They are ranked second in the competition for winning the lineout against the throw. Considering their weakness at the scrum, they should look to disrupt the Sharks at the lineout.
While the Reds have conceded a number of penalties while in possession, and a fair few at the breakdown, they are proficient in making breakdown steals (3.9 per match). They have some specialists in Liam Gill and Beau Robinson, as well as hooker Saia Faingaa, who excel in this respect.
It will also help that Kaplan is officiating this fixture, as the South African is one of the more lenient referees at the ruck and maul (Kaplan is ranked 15th out of 19 Super Rugby referees in terms of penalties awarded in these areas). This may allow the Reds to maintain possession a bit more than usual, and also have more of a crack at the breakdown turnover when they're defending.
But where Kaplan is far less generous is at the scrum, and as the superior team in this area, the Sharks should benefit. Kaplan is ranked fifth when it comes to infringements awarded at this set piece.
He also tends to award more penalties than free kicks and there are only four refs in the competition who offer fewer scrum resets than Kaplan. In short, if the Reds impede or fail to set properly, Kaplan is unlikely to give them another crack. The Sharks have conceded the fewest scrum infringements in the tournament.
Suncorp Stadium is often described as the perfect ground on which to play running rugby, and it's true that both sides have a penchant for a fast-paced approach. But the occasion may demand a tighter, less risky game plan, and the margin for error will be small.
The Reds may not have Cooper available for this play-off, but they do have a reliable goal-kicker in Mike Harris (who has a 77% success rate). It is for this reason the Sharks will also need to ensure they don't impede within range of the goal posts.
Their big banker will be Michalak, who will be tasked with turning Reds infringements and errors into points.

I guess localization support is in the todo list.
My default culture language is "es". To make it work with the current database records I had to change these bits in the HomeController.cs:
public ActionResult Index(string slug) {
slug = slug ?? "/";
//this.CurrentPage = _cmsRepository.GetPage(slug, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName);
this.CurrentPage = _cmsRepository.GetPage(slug, "en");
return View();
Not sure if there are some other places in the application where the default culture info matters...

BLACKFOOT — The corner of Riverside Plaza has been home to the Plaza Twin Theater, Bradbury College, the Blackfoot Bookstore and before that, sports cards were traded in this space.
Coming Fall 2013, plans are for a new charter school, Bingham Academy, to fill the corner space at Riverside Plaza.
Fred Ball, project director for the charter high school and administrator of the Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center, said the board hopes to receive authorization next week from the Idaho Public Charter School Commission.
AMMON — A big third quarter by the home standing Hillcrest Knights proved to be troublesome for the Blackfoot Broncos as they fell in their season opener 75-59 in the Dungeon on Wednesday evening.
"I thought that overall team effort, first ball game was good," Blackfoot head coach Dan Hale said. "If you remember last year at this time we had a hard time scoring in the forty's so to come out and score nearly sixty on a veteran team like we played tonight is encouraging. Like I told the kids, if we come out and score in the sixties we are going to win a lot of ballgames. Of course we saw a lot of things that we need to work on but we saw tonight that we have a lot of pieces to the puzzle and now we just need to put the puzzle together."
BLACKFOOT — The auction at the Bingham Christmas Tree Fantasy begins at 7 o'clock tonight in the Needlecraft Building on the Eastern Idaho State Fairgrounds.
Fantasy hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Soup and other offerings are available at the Fantasy Cafe that is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The entrance fee to the Fantasy is $2 per person or $10 for the immediate family.
Former Idaho National Laboratory (INL) workers—both union and non-union, workers and management—can now receive a free test to detect early lung cancer.
This program is funded and supported by the Department of Energy .
"In the U.S., there are 160,000 deaths each year from lung cancer," said Steven Markowitz, MD, the occupational medicine physician who directs the screening program. "There are 800 deaths caused by lung cancer each year in Idaho.
THOMAS — The Snake River Lady Panthers returned to the hardwood following the Thanksgiving break as they took on a solid Soda Springs club at Snake River on Tuesday evening. Snake River built a 22-11 halftime advantage but the pesky Cardinals proved to be equal to the task as they outscored the host Lady Panthers 25-11 in the second half to steal away a 36-33 come from behind victory.
"First and foremost Soda is a great team and we knew that coming in. They played tired in the first half and we played tired in the second half," Snake River head coach Rich Dunn said. "I don't know what their coach said to them at half time but they came out motivated and ready to play in the second half. They did a good job of making halftime adjustments and we didn't, it's as simple as that."
Five years ago on the 10th of December Jamie Warren got a new chance at life through a double lung transplant. Warren was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. At 28 she was told she only had 6 months to live and deemed an unfit candidate for the transplant until her lungs had just about taken their last breath. With her lungs functioning at only 11 percent her husband made the decision to put her on a ventilator while the doctors held an emergency meeting to decide her fate. Three days later, Warren was granted a miracle.
When students from Joe Ingersoll's AP government class at Aberdeen High School entered the city council chambers on Tuesday, Gov. Butch Otter immediately acknowledged them.
During a lull in taking questions from the audience at Aberdeen's Capital for a Day, he encouraged them to ask their own.
Eventually Carl, one of the students, asked about what tax liabilities and benefits he could receive if he started his own landscaping business.
Items of note from Nov. 4-14.

So I could probably fill a month's worth of blogs on the different rumors circulating around the changes with the iPhone 5. One of the rumors that is consistently showing up though is the presence of a full physical keyboard. More specifically, a physical keypad of the slide-out variety. I absolutely love the iPhone, but my one dislike has always been the lack of a keypad. Thus, the rumor of a full keypad rocks my socks.
Thinking about it though, I'm not sure if I can fully adjust to the idea of an iPhone with a slide-out keypad. The iPhone in my mind has always been a wonderfully sleek and modern piece of technology. I wonder what a slide-out keypad would do to this image though. While a keypad would be hugely functional, I think it would take away from the "aura" of the phone. Slide-out keypads always seem to be somewhat clunky and can carry with them a wealth of potential problems. We all know how emphatic iPhone users are about any slight issue with their phones, so a slide-out keypad seems downright terrifying in this respect.
After much thought on my part though, I decided that I would like a slide-out keypad. I trust Apple's ability to add features without taking away the persona of their products. Thus, I hope that the sliding keypad will be no different. Unfortunately, the addition of a slide-out keypad would open up a whole new realm of problems for me. I would have to consider if I should wait the agonizing months between when my contract is up until the iPhone 5 comes out. I know I live a tough life considering that this would be one of the more difficult decisions I face. So, bring on the full keypad Apple, I've got a couple months left to ponder my next move.
What are your thoughts on a full keypad? Would it be nicer, or do you like the current setup?

We are going to be tracking this exact thing all year at Hornets247. Here is the first piece, complete with (made up) Vegas odds:
Personally, I love the idea of Josh Smith but I would be happy with any number of guys. My top 5:
2. J-Smoove
3. Iggy
4. B Jennings
5 (tie) S. Curry
5 (tie) Paul Milsap
Curry or Jennings would cost us Rivers in a S&T similar to Gustavo for Ryan Anderson I imagine, but I would still do that. Ideally, though, Rivers develops and we just add a Smith, Iggy, or Milsap

If your friends and family all have cell phone numbers and do not have land lines, it is very possible that the telephone service which is used by the constabulary at the jail will not allow you to call those cell phone numbers.
These limited service telephone systems will only allow you to make a local telephone call or a collect telephone call [wikipedia.org] which can only be accepted or received on a land-line system telephone (POTS = plain old telephone service) and not at all received on a cellular carrier's service. Thus if you get a job where one of the benefits is "bonding out benefit", then you get the perk of your work temporarily loaning you enough money to be bailed out of jail and giving you a telephone number which you can call to carry out the receipt of this job benefit. Thus, no need to bother friends who may not be able to answer anyway on their cell phones. Ahh, the benefits of a cellular-phone society.
One surprising thing I learned from wikipedia is that tihs crazy high bail cost is only prevalent in the USA: the rest of the world has lower affordable bail-out costs, or if you're dangerous they keep you in jail. I guess the prison-system and the jail system really IS a business industry in the US of A!

Men's Basketball Can't Overcome Cold Shooting; Fall to North Greenville
January 15, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – The Pfeiffer men's basketball team (4-11, 1-5 CC) fell to visiting North Greenville (9-5, 4-2 CC) by a final score of 89-72 on Wednesday evening. David McNair had his second straight double-double, leading Pfeiffer with 22 points and 17 rebounds. Mike Smith and AJ Clark had 19 and 18 respectively for the Falcons.
Phillip Brown (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Keith Johnson (13 points, 11 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles for the Crusaders, who shot 55.6 percent from the field, including an even 60 percent in the second half. Brown did most of his damage in the second half, accounting for 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in the final 20 minutes.
Five different Crusaders recorded double digit scoring, led by 23 from Chris Dean. The trio of Smith, Clark and McNair accounted for 59 of the team's 72 points. Andrew Guerrero added nine on three made three pointers, and Silvere Aluko had four.
The Falcons led the battle on the boards, finishing with a 48-37 edge on the glass, and limited North Greenville to only three offensive rebounds.
Pfeiffer struggled to get going offensively, ending the game with a shooting percentage of 32.9, easily a season-low. In the first half, Pfeiffer went 12-for-41 (29.3 percent), but still trailed by only two points at the break, 38-36.
Two McNair free throws gave Pfeiffer a 52-48 lead with 14:05 left in the game, but North Greenville responded with a 15-0 run over the next four minutes to take a 63-52 lead. Pfeiffer was able to close the gap to eight with 4:01 to play, but was unable to pull any closer. The Crusaders ended the game on a 13-4 run to win by 17.
McNair was solid throughout the night. He scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the first half, and had 11 and eight in the second.
Pfeiffer will look to get back in the win column on Saturday night as they host Erskine at 7:30 p.m. The Flying Fleet currently sit in second place in the conference standings.

From the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office:
On October 22 at 7:06 p.m. the Sheriff's Office was dispatched to 2646 Turnage Drive, Kinston in response to the reported kidnapping of two twin 2-year-old children.
Officers learned the grandmother of the children, Louanne Neeley, was babysitting the children while their mother Amy Houston was at LCC in class and the father Adam Houston was at work at Spirit Aero Systems.. The suspect, Phillip Brian Johnson, age 24, of Greene County, arrived at the Turnage Street home after he had transported Amy Houston to LCC for a class, using Amy's vehicle, a silver Dodge Neon.
Johnson was reported to be an acquaintance of Amy Houston's girlfriend. Neeley reported that Johnson was waiting for Adam Houston to return to the home so that he could help Adam Houston move a piece of furniture. It was reported that Johnson stayed in the garage and was pacing back and forth waiting for Adam Houston to arrive. Neeley, who was in the home caring for the children, reported Johnson came into the home and struck her in the head with a lamp and repeatedly punched her in the face while she lay on the floor trying to defend herself. Neeley reported Johnson then grabbed the children and fled with them in the Dodge Neon. Neeley stated that she had no clue as to why Johnson became violent.
Deputies began a desperate search for the suspect and children. At 9:06 p.m. a Kinston Department of Public Safety officer spotted Johnson walking near Mallards Food Shop on NC 11. Johnson was taken into custody and turned over to the Sheriff's Office. The Dodge Neon nor the children were immediately located. Johnson denied any knowledge of the children and remarked that he did not know how he had gotten to where he was located.
Johnson was charged with two counts of first degree kidnapping. He was placed in the Lenoir County jail under a $200,000 bond.
At 10:15 p.m., Deputy William Shambeau located the Dodge Neon in an alley near 419 N. Herritage Street. Inside the unlocked vehicle were the two missing children. Both appeared to be unharmed and were cuddled up together inside the vehicle. The children were examined by medical personnel and returned to the parents.
"The people of Kinston and Lenoir County should be proud of their law enforcement officers," said LCSO Cheif Deputy Chris Hill.
