Results vs. USC Aiken (2006-09-04 19:31:52)
September 4, 2006Women's Soccer Wins 4-0 Misenheimer, NC--- The Lady Falcons shutout visiting USC-Aiken 4-0 in non-conference play Monday afternoon in women's soccer action. Pfeiffer(3-2) used Laura Crews' hat trick to help defeat the Pacers(1-3-1). Pfeiffer opened up quickly grabbing two goals in the first 10 minutes. In the third minute Kristen Brahosky sent a through pass and Laura Crews was able to beat the Aiken goalie to the ball and calmly but it into the open net. Six minutes later the Falcons doubled their lead as Maria Reis passed a ball past the Aiken defense and Crews was again able to beat her defender to the ball and slipped it past the goalkeeper from 15 yards out. The rest of the half became a midfield battle as the Aiken defense settled down and the Falcon defense only let one shot get to goal. Pfeiffer came out in the second half and again scored two goals in the first 10 minutes. Laura Crews completed her hat trick in the 53rd minute. After taking the ball 40 yards from goal she dribbled past two defenders and beat the goalie with a hard, low shot from 18 yards. Two minutes later Kirsten Bartsch scored the fourth Falcon goal. Megan Blevins sent a beautiful pass that Bartsch beat her defender too and shot it past the goalie from 20 yards out. Jennifer Lindow, Susan Hinman and Mary Kathryn Mason combined in goal for the shutout for Pfeiffer. Coach Denton said, "This was a good win for us going into the conferencem season. This helps us see what we need to work on and what we can build on." Pfeiffer returns to action Saturday when they host Limestone at 2:00 pm. This is the CVAC opener for both teams.Soccer Box Score (Final) USC-Aiken vs pfeiffer (Sep 04, 2006 at Misenheimer, NC)

Yeah, I wish the Focus had a bit less space allocated to the cargo hold and the rear seat was 2-3" further back. Of course given the roofline that'd mean anyone over about 5'8" would have their neck bent over to sit back there...the GTI's shape is definitely the box it came in, but it pays handsome rewards in the rear cabin and cargo area.
The GTI is a very nice small GT car, and in that role it definitely makes both daily driving and longer distance stuff easy. Given that's what I do with the car 95% of the time, I can't complain. I do wish it had the steering and shifter feel of the Focus, though.

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.
al of you are right on some counts. it takes a village to raise a child (I am a teacher and a pet owner), so it also takes a village to save an animal. together, we are stronger than any of these monsters who so abuse their pets. UNITE! FIGHT! SPEAK UP!!!!
so glad the puppy has been saved lets hope all the others have to.
I believe this puppy in the blog is rescued and trained to love now..
Really need to chop their hands off!!!! Cause when they get out these BRAINLESS ASSHOLES!!!!! They will repeat the their ABUSE
Laila - May God bless you for your care for these poor souls. PLEASE STAY SAFE!
Well done Laila!!! I lived in an apt. complex that had wild cats around and sometimes people leave there cat behind. This is not acceptable for me so I took the cats in one by one and found 11 cats good homes and kept one.
You know I hate what is done to these poor animals. I have seen it many times. But, the laws should be heavier than they are. They should have to be treated as they treat dogs or cats. I have had my share of baby's. !3 yrs. ago I finally got my first Ferret. What people do to these sweet cute baby's is a true sin. They have been abused and mistreated. I have had 6 baby's since 1999. There are no true shelters for these baby's only the kindness of ferret moms and their vol. and ferret people who try to help. Yes they are exotic baby's but, they are so sweet and they are smarter than dogs or cats. Something more needs to be done to stop these ignorant and cruel people from hurting no matter what of Gods animals from being hurt. Thanks for stopping another bunch of dog fighting gang.

At Annunciation Catholic School in Havelock, band isn't just about trumpets and trombones.
The school recently expanded its music program, meaning students can now learn string instruments such as the violin, cello and viola.
Now, students from preschool through the eighth grade can get lessons with string and wind instruments.
"It hasn't been offered at Annunciation ever and it's a great opportunity, especially for the younger children to get involved with instrumental music at a young age," said Elizabeth Thayer, instrumental music teacher at the school. "Previously, it has been only after school for band. A teacher from the public schools would come in and teach two days of band instruments to the upper grades, meaning third through eighth, and we have never had a pull-out class from their instructional day."
The school has added 35 string students to its existing 35 band students.
Thayer said she has enjoyed taking on the challenge of teaching violin, viola and cello to the youngsters.
"I have to make sure that they can read the notes before they can do anything," Thayer said. "My favorite age is about six or seven to teach them violin or viola because they are like little sponges. They absorb all of the information. They just want more and more and more. They love it, and they show passion for it."
It takes patience.
"We started out with plucking strings and then went onward to windshield wipers and actually placing the bow on the strings," Thayer said. "The little people are actually playing notes. They are playing songs that are just on open strings whereas the older students are placing fingers on those strings. They are starting to get songs coming out."
These are sounds that should be considered diamonds in the rough, she said.
"I love teaching little people and what makes it exciting is that even if they don't have the most beautiful sound coming out of their instrument, the light in their eyes is the reason I'm here," Thayer said.
Thayer is hoping to join the strings with the wind instruments this year for a performance.
"I'd like to have a full school ensemble hopefully before the end of the school year," she said. "I'd have to do a lot of transposition for the parts so that everybody is playing in the correct key at the same time."
The school has a lot of brass and woodwind instruments that they are able to lend out to students, which increases participation.
"The students still pay for reeds and stuff like that, but it's at a minimum price. They pay like a $1 for a reed," Thayer said. "I can do a lot of the maintenance on the instruments instead of them taking it to the shop. I can save them the money and fix it myself and charge them just for the part and whatever I need to get for the instrument.
"The funds that I get from teaching Suzuki go toward the purchase of more books and hopefully some more string instruments by the end of the school year. I'm basically tithing the money from my private instruction directly back to the school in support of the instrumental music program."
All the effort is worth it to the children, she said.
"Music is a universal language," Thayer said. "First and foremost, it's a language that can be transferred to any other medium be it language arts or mathematics. From day one I talk about the dollar bill, the value of a dollar, the value of two half dollars, and of four quarters. It's a complete correlation between mathematics and music theory. They go hand in hand. They are going back to their classrooms and they are using these bettered skills to better themselves in the classrooms."

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo wrote:Before the trade deadline passed, the Boston Celtics had one final choice to make on the franchise's future: In a three-way deal that would've secured Josh Smith and surrendered Paul Pierce to Dallas, Atlanta wanted Boston's first-round draft pick, too.
As much as any of the proposed deals discussed in February, perhaps this had been the closest Pierce had come to parting with the Celtics, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Dallas had constructed a package that included Jae Crowder, Brandan Wright and Dahntay Jones to Atlanta, with the Mavericks and Hawks exchanging positions in the 2013 NBA draft.
Nevertheless, Boston wouldn't relent on the pick and the deal died on meeting-room grease boards in three cities. Celtics coach Doc Rivers has always understood that general manager Danny Ainge's reshaping of the roster is inevitable, but he's never been in a hurry to lord over a rebuild.
Josh Smith: Atlanta Is The Worst Sports Town
The Atlanta Hawks didn't trade star forward Josh Smith despite the swirling, and endless rumors. But with his impending free agency this summer, there are serious doubts about Smith's future with the Hawks. Due to a lack of strong fan support, Josh admits that playing in Atlanta isn't the easiest thing. Per the NY Daily News: "It is a little difficult (playing in Atlanta),' said Smith, an Atlanta native. 'Last year like I was telling everybody, we were ranked No. 1 worst sports town in the United States. It was just the whole city, baseball, football – but football always has a crazy fanbase – it is a little bit difficult. But hopefully we can turn it around sooner than later.' Smith isn't making this up. Atlanta has the worst fan support in the country, according to Forbes, having supplanted Seattle in last year's dubious rankings. It seemed fitting that about an hour after our conversation with Smith he played in a half-empty Philips Arena, where the Hawks' effort matched the atmosphere in a lifeless 93-80 loss to the Nets. Smith wasn't saying success or popularity was impossible in Atlanta. It's just 'a little bit difficult' when the team isn't getting support, despite five straight playoff appearances. The Nets of New Jersey could relate. Smith used Oklahoma City as an example of a team 'bringing global attractions to a small city. …But you have to have those big names like the Kevin Durant's and Russell Westbrook's.'"
But you have to have those big names like the Kevin Durant's and Russell Westbrook's.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. By not overpaying Josh and letting him walk, Hawks can get two big FAs. Ferry is proving to be a much wiser GM than Atlanta has had in a long long while.
Hawks fans have a love-hate relationship with Josh. They love the D and the dunks, but the chucking and seemingly the thousands of missed 3 irritates the hell out of everyone here. It'd be like if MWP was our #1 option and we had to deal with that on a larger scale every night.
Source: Josh Smith 'Highly Unlikely' To Return To Hawks In 13-14
Jeff Zillgitt, USA TODAY Sports
Josh Smith is staying home — in Atlanta with the Hawks. For the time being.
The Atlanta native and subject of intense trade discussions was not dealt Thursday, and he will play the rest of the season for the Hawks, who are 29-23 and in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
On Thursday, Smith said Atlanta will be on his list of teams he considers when he becomes a free agent. However, all politics is local. The Atlanta native does not want to irritate the home fans, but a person familiar with Smith's plans told USA TODAY Sports that it is "highly unlikely" that Smith re-signs with Atlanta. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the private nature of the negotiations.
Smith, 27, had been the top player projected to be traded with an expiring contract that will pay him $13.2 million this season.
But after considering trade proposals from several teams, including a down-to-the-wire offer from the Milwaukee Bucks, Hawks general manager Danny Ferry decided to keep Smith.
Ferry, unsure if the Hawks wanted to re-sign Smith or if Smith wanted to re-sign in the offseason, searched for a deal, trying to get some value in exchange for Smith. Ultimately, Ferry didn't like the offers he received.
"We value Josh," Ferry told NBA TV. "He's been important to our program here the last several years, and I've enjoyed working with him this year. He's an important part of this team, and we look forward to finishing the year well with him."
Smith averages 17.2 points and 8.6 rebounds for the Hawks. In his nine seasons, all in Atlanta, he has averaged 15.2 points and eight rebounds.
Ferry has been remaking the team's roster since taking over in June. The team is nearly $40 million under the salary cap headed into the offseason and has seven contracts that expire after 2012-13. Atlanta also has team options on two other players.
That is significant money to spend on next season's payroll. Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul are the expected centerpieces of the 2013 free-agent class, but luring either player to Atlanta will be difficult. Ferry will try, especially in regards to Howard, who like Smith, is from Atlanta. Expect Ferry to go after Howard aggressively.
The Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards and Bucks were among teams that had at least cursory discussions with Atlanta.
Atlanta's decision to keep Smith thrills a team like the Houston Rockets or Denver Nuggets, who could sign him as a free agent. Smith can earn a max contract starting with next season, but on Thursday, Smith said he has never asked for a max contract.
But he does want to get paid. If Smith lands with another team next season, the max contract he can receive is for four years, $72.39 million, starting at $16.95 million in 2013-14.
Since Atlanta holds Smith's Bird rights, it can offer him a five-year, $97.49 million deal. While that's a lot of money to leave on the table, both sides might be ready for a fresh start without the other. There's no bad blood. Just time to move on. There are good breakups.
Smith will be just 31 years old when he is due for a new contract in 2017-18. After this summer's lucrative deal, he will have the opportunity for another big payday in his early 30s.
Hawks Offered Josh Smith Three-Year, $45M Extension
The Atlanta Hawks offered Josh Smith a three-year, $45 million contract extension before the season.
According to sources, the talks never got serious because Smith made it clear that he wanted to make it to free agency.
League rules on extensions kept the Hawks from offering anything longer than three extra years during the season.
The Hawks then tried hard to trade Smith prior to February's deadline.
therealdeal wrote:Interesting.
I just don't see Smith making that kind of bank in other cities. Where else is he going to get paid like that AND be part of a good team? There's not many teams this summer with money to spare.

you sure about that? i think lots of teams have cash this summer. my quick count says at least 16 teams should have something more than 10 million to spend. granted, several of these teams probably need to retain their own guys, but still...there's money to be had. with smith being one of the top free agents available, you'd think he'd have a good shot at getting paid big.

Not sure why I got excited when I saw David Stern specifically mention the north shore. But it happened.
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultNBA Commissioner David Stern will be in New Orleans on Wednesday to attend the New Orleans Hornets-Lakers game at the New Orleans Arena. In a phone interview Tuesday afternoon, he talked about his relationship with owner Tom Benson, the Chris Paul for Eric Gordon trade and why he likes New Orleans so much and why he supported the Hornets remaining in the Crescent City.
T-P: It's still early but do you have any concerns about attendance at the Arena?
Stern: You know, what you're suffering from is the team that doesn't quite have his identity together yet and is losing games. So the proposition for walk-up is not as compelling as it might otherwise had been, but I have no concerns. Putting together a winning streak, I'm sure your fans will be ready to go. Between Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon, it's easy to see that you had a lot of players who were figured for backup roles being forced up to starting. That's a good thing because they get a chance to develop and show you what they have. We're getting an opportunity to see all kinds of interesting players. I think in a normal course of events, I think you might have had the sixth man, the Rookie of the Year and lot of other things. Look at us we got all kind of teams that are having issues. Steve Nash for the Lakers, Andrew Bynum for the 76ers, Eric Gordon for the Hornets.
Q: New message boards have been put up on each side of the Arena and plans are already in place for upgrades to the building. What are the benefits you see in those improvements?
Stern: At the end of the day, the message boards outside make everyone know that's the Arena. Presumably with those sort of iconic structures it's going help people identify the Arena and I think make a big naming rights sponsor even more anxious to have their company represented there. It also gives an opportunity for partners to express themselves. On the whole arena itself, it's about the fan experience. Whether it's the entertainment option, the dining options, the suite level being renovated. ... The governor helped us secure it and I'm sure it's going to be make the experience of the Arena better than what it is.
Q: Do you hope to get a naming rights sponsor soon?
Not sure why I got excited when I saw David Stern specifically mention the north shore. But it happened.
eww Stern..... can't wait until he is gone
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
You kidding me bro? Get out of here with that weak ****!
I didn't care where the Franchise went as far as location, and just because there is a conspiracy theory(which there is one every year in the lottery) I should like him?
Please just don't reply, good...? GOOD
Such ignorance in this thread, and forum as a whole, lol
Didn't the whole Spurs organization get fined $250,000 for a coach coaching??
Stern abuses his power quite often, just because he kept basketball in New Orleans doesn't mean im going to throw out the other **** he has done in his tenure as commish
We wouldn't even have an NBA team in this city if it wasn't for Stern. Say what you want, but that alone makes him a saint in my book - same category as Paul Tagliabu. Praise the man!{Mod edit-no personal attacks}

I personally hope he gets a standing ovation tomorrow night...he deserves our gratitude
Uh....Vinny .....don't refer to "the New Orleans fan base" as a joke. You are referencing a lot of people. Thats ignorant.......
Tread lightly sir......lightly.
Vinny, you lack information.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Stern has long run his course as a good commissioner. He lets his ego make decision for him and he hasn't done much to fix the true problems with the sport.
I'm thankful for having him make it a personal issue to save basketball here. However that doesn't make up for all the other things he has been apart of or his unwillingness to move the sport to becoming a better product. Hopefully Silver is better, but I highly doubt it.
Not a fan of some of his decisions. Like forcing players to dress in suits on the sidelines because he didn't want to see people wearing chains, baggy jeans, or whatever. But he's done right by New Orleans, even if it was to help his own image. I can't discount the result. He's a big reason the Hornets came back to New Orleans and they didn't sell to whats his face that wanted to take the team to Anaheim or whatever.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
He's done a great job in my opinion. I like the lottery, most of the new rules, the marketing. The only problem I have with the NBA is that its still dominated by big markets, the new CBA did nothing to stop that, and the number of games in a season is too many for the average fan to care really care about. lower it to 54 and have teams only play on certain days to make games more meaningful. Thats my opinion.
Also best of 7 should be best of 5 until the semifinals.
follow me @SportsPillowTlk . I blog and have a podcast about Gulf Coast Sports, Saint, Texans, Rockets, Hornets, LSU, Cougars, Longhorns, NBA, NFL, MLB, Astros
David Stern should get a very long and loud standing ovation. He did exactly what he said he would do to keep the Hornets in New Orleans. He did his homework and executed his game plan to perfection. Not to mention he set the National Media straight. He got the league to buy the Hornets which was no easy task. He brought in New Orleans native Jack Spurling and with his herculian effort was able to sell 10,000 season tickets and incresed Corporate Sponsorship with out an owner and no guarantee the team was here to stay. He killed the first trade for Chris Paul which would have netted us with players like Lamar Odom who would have been a cancer in the locker room and would not have played here. He got the books cleaned up from the previous ownership which was a disaster. It took all of these calculated moves and more for the team to become attractive enough for local buyer Tom Benson to purchase the franchise. Not to mention he got the 2014 All Star Game awarded to New Orleans even with the game being played here in 2009. I can't be in attendance but I hope it is packed tonight and the fans give David Stern a very long and loud standing ovation. He walked the talk when it came to keeping the Hornets in New Orleans. Thank you Mr. Stern for a job well done!!!!

Mary Easley's pension soars after legal settlement
The Associated Press
Former First Lady Mary Easley's state pension will more than double following an out-of-court settlement with North Carolina State University over her firing three years ago.
The settlement effectively treats Easley as if she had been working at a salary of $170,000 since her 2009 dismissal.
Easley was hired in 2005 to run a university speaker's series, but her job was soon expanded with a controversial 88-percent pay increase that ultimately led to her dismissal.
Easley began receiving an annual state pension of $37,171 with credit for more than two decades of state service. The new settlement, signed in late August but not previously disclosed, gives Easley a pension benefit of $80,597 per year.
If the 62-year-old former first lady lives another 23 years, her current life expectancy, the change would earn an additional $1 million in pension pay.
NCSU Chancellor Randy Woodson approved the deal, records show. He said the agreement had the full support of university trustees and the UNC system Board of Governors, though the authority to settle was his. The cost to N.C. State: about $90,000, paid from a fund of private donations.
Woodson said Easley's possible legal case against the university focused on "breach of contract" because the university terminated its written contract with her one year into a five-year term.
Before she was hired at N.C. State in 2005, Easley taught law at N.C. Central in Durham and before that she was a prosecutor in southeastern North Carolina.
After her duties were expanded in 2008, Easley's new contract would have paid her $170,000 a year as an "executive in residence." Her duties were to create and direct a public safety center; continue running the speakers series; coordinate law-related academic programming; and teach half a class each semester.
A series of disclosures in 2009 about how she was first hired with the direct help of former Gov. Mike Easley, along with budget cutting in state government that took away many of her duties, led to prominent calls for her resignation, which she refused. Mike Easley was governor from 2001 to 2009.
The episode led to the forced resignation of Chancellor James Oblinger on the same day that university trustees terminated Easley's contract.

To Hell on a Fast Horse: The Untold Story of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett
To Hell on a Fast Horse: The Untold Story of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett (Paperback)
Billy the Kida.k.a. Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, and William Bonney was a horse thief, cattle rustler, charismatic rogue, and cold-blooded killer. A superb shot, the Kid gunned down four men single-handedly and five others with the help of cronies. Two of his victims were Lincoln County, New Mexico, deputies killed during the Kids brazen daylight escape from the courthouse jail on April 28, 1881.
For new sheriff Pat Garrett, an acquaintance of Billys, the chase was on. . . .
As the first dual biography of the Kid and Garrett, To Hell on a Fast Horse re-creates the thrilling manhunt for the Wild Wests most iconic outlaw. Mark Lee Gardner digs beneath the myth to take a fresh look at these two men, their relationship, and their epic ride to immortality.
About the Author
Mark Lee Gardner has written a broad range of books and articles on the American West, including a number of interpretive guides for the National Park Service on subjects ranging from George Custer to Geronimo. As a historian and consultant, he has worked with museums, historic sites, and humanities councils throughout the West. He has been a visiting professor in the Southwest Studies department at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He lives with his family in Cascade, Colorado.
Praise for To Hell on a Fast Horse: The Untold Story of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett…
"The double-helix relationship between Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett is one of the abiding fascinations of the West. No one has come closer than Mark Lee Gardner to capturing their twin destinies and their inevitable final collision....you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. "
-Hampton Sides, author of the New York Times bestsellers Blood and Thunder and Ghost Soldiers
"A masterpiece! Mark Gardner's dual biography of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett cuts through the myth to tell the real story of two real figures in the Wild West. Gardner's scholarship is superb. This work can only be called a classic."
-David Dary
"Incredibly deep research combines with the talents of a fine historian and writer to produce superb narrative history. The true character and relationship of these two iconic westerners emerge to suppress myth and correct more than a century of tomes laden with bad history."
-Robert M. Utley
"Digging beneath the myths and melodrama, [Gardner] begins in Las Vegas during Christmas week, 1880, when the capture and confinement of Billy the Kid made national headlines... Gardner's extensive research and authoritative approach ground this compelling historical recreation."
-Publishers Weekly
"As gripping as any thriller."

National team competitions
18-13, 21-29, 15-17, 16-19
Pizza Express Apollon travelled to Austria and claimed a 78-70 triumph over Xion Dukes on Tuesday night in the opening game of the EuroChallenge Qualifying Round tie.
Brandon Brown finished with a game-high 24 points for Apollon, who are based in Limassol, Cyprus.
In a tight contest, the visitors went in front to stay with a 9-0 run that started late in the third quarter.
The game was knotted at 54-54 when Daryl Dorsey delivered an alley-oop pass to Brandon Brown and the 2.01m power forward laid the ball in.
Brown then drove in for a lay-up after catching another pass from Dorsey on Apollon's next trip down the floor.
Dorsey split two free-throws for a 59-54 lead and the third quarter came to an end.
Robert Krabbendam began the last quarter by scoring with a put-back and Brown capped the spurt with two free-throws.
The Dukes closed the gap to 70-67 but Apollon replied with six straight points, four of them scored by Marvin Jefferson.
They ended up claiming an eight-point triumph.
Xion Dukes didn't help their own cause, making just 14 of 25 free-throws on the night.
Ramiz Suljanovic had 22 points for the Dukes.
Apollon head coach Akis Konstantinou"It was a though game, especially without knowing anything about Klosterneuburg. We just had a short preparation for the game and we were missing another American player. But congratulations to the other team."
Apollon player Grigoris Pantouris"It was a great game for both of the teams, it was a really good atmosphere and we really enjoyed the game."
Dukes head coach Werner Sallomon "We had a low shooting percentage, but when we played our game we had our chances."
Dukes player Christoph Nagler"For three quarters our defense was a catastrophy. On offense we missed a lot of shots, but we are only 8 points behind."
Ramiz Suljanovic

By popular demand, here's a forum especially to exclude all the people that Blitzen thinks are Dimmies. If you're turned off by the juvenile hijinks elsewhere on the board, this is apparently the place to be. Hopefully I've got all switches and toggles set up for this to work.
I've made two new Usergroups: the first is called Old School, which is everybody I remember from the Frappr days and earlier. These folks have access to Not Dimmies by default, even though a couple of them may be on the borderline.
The second group with access to this forum is called Not Dimmies, and as of right now it only contains Blitzen. And the only person who can add or remove memebers from this group, conveniently enough, is also Blitzen. Furthermore, Blitzen has been made moderator of this forum, which I assume grants some kind of god-like abilities to edit and delete and make announcements and who knows what else, but only in here.
For my part, my only plan is to abuse my powers to make life difficult for anyone if they whine about not being a Not Dimmy. There are no rules about whether or not Blitzen has to be nice or fair or anything else, so no whining.

I've smelled Burberry Brit and London and know that I like them both, I can't remember their distinct scents. Would either be appropriate for the spring/summer time? If not, what would be a nice scent?
I've smelled Burberry Brit and London and know that I like them both, I can't remember their distinct scents. Would either be appropriate for the spring/summer time? If not, what would be a nice scent?
London is no - it's definitely more of a fall/winter night frag because of its tobacco/leather/mossinness.
I think Brit is a lighter one that should be alright for spring/summer.
In general for spring/summer, look for fragrances that use terms like "marine" or "aqua" in their descriptions or profiles. I really like my Nautica Voyage - it's inexpensive, has a long staying power, and projects decently well. Oh, and it smells really good and clean. Chicks dig it
Thanks again.
Just bought Lacoste white, very fresh invigorating scent. Lacoste blue didn't smell to bad either.
Das .:R
If anyone is interested, I am going to post in the for sale thread that I have some Pure Havane for sale.
Check out the different Polo colors, they're nice and light, I wear Burberry London on the cooler/cloudy days, and Polo Black for the sunny/warmer days and it seems to fit. I'm in San Antonio if that helps any.
For clean scents I also like CK Free. My favorite warm weather cologne ever was Kenneth Cole Signature but I haven't been able to find it for sometime. Although a quick google on it shows it's still available.
was looking for a new summer-ish fragrance today, smelled the new Tierry Muglier, the new Issey Miyake summer fragrances. I didnt really like either, the issey I liked somewhat but it was very potent, a bit too much for my liking. The allure homme sport extreme was okay, i gave up looking and went with YSL L'Homme, can never go wrong there.
I got Tommy Bahama St. Bart's recently - a very tropical scent that starts out pina colada-ish and mellows out to a really nice aquatic scent similar to Nautica Voyage
I have used Diesel for a few years now. More than my other colognes.
Anybody make their own cologne? I would really like to find an all natural or chemical free cologne that actually smells good. I had tinkered with the idea of some essential oils and a solid oil base. All the stuff out there that I've seen (Aubrey Organics, etc..) smells like patchouli or I dumped some bay rum or gin all over myself.
I like the Guess line.

Just got the Tommy Bahamas "very cool". It is by far an amazing smell, not too strong definetly a good choice for summer.
picked up some Chrome Sport (Azzaro) yesterday at Marshall's. Great aquatic, lasts maybe 6-7 hours on me. Good for anyone looking for a summer scent.

Silly question. How much are you guys applying and where? I usually just spray once around the neck area.
my friends mom always told me to spray on the wrist and touch them, and once on the neck.
never get complaints that it's too strong.
welcome to the layer cake
I'm currently wearing Bleu de Chanel. Its smooth and fresh. Not too strong. I like it.

I rotate from polo blue (daytime casual) to polo black (evening/going out/etc).
I like burberry brit as well but only wear it in the wintertime, just to mix things up and have a seasonal scent.
Can't remember if I mention this or not. I ended up going with Burberry Brit Summer. It is really nice. My wife got the ladies version for herself.
On the rare times that I wear cologne I wear Orange Vert from Hermès.
I picked up some small sample sprayers of the Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts and YSL L'Homme Gingembre and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue on Amazon. I figured it'd be a nice way to test them and see if I like them and so fat I dig them all!

just picked up some Kanon Norwegian Wood and Zirh Ikon from Marshall's
this is what I dont understand why people, like my brother, spray a mist and then walk thru it, no need to make the entire room smell like you
also, might have been mentioned, but i hate it when people spray tons of cologne on themselves instead of hoping into the shower
yup, the spray should be on your skin for any hope of longevity.
so interestingly enough, the Norwegian Wood and Ikon smell similar, with the Wood being a bit sweeter/vanilla-y/creamier and the Ikon being a bit more peppery and cutting. The longevity of the Wood is about 4-6 hours tops on me and projects a decent amount at first but backs off considerable after the first hour or two. Ikon has incredible longevity, something like 10 hours easy, doesn't have aggressive projection, and has a very linear drydown.
I really like the Ikon a lot.
So many huge bottles of cologne, how can anyone stand using the same cologne for a long time? I find that I get really tired of it within 3-5 weeks.

GREENVILLE - Fire crews battled a blaze at the Darke County Fairgrounds Friday evening, which caused heavy damage to two iconic fair buildings.
The fire lit up both the the Beef Palace and Dairy Palace buildings, while spreading to other nearby smaller structures. The roof collapsed on the north side Cow Palace which is constructed of concrete block and metal seam roofing.
Eleven fire companies responded to the scene as well as five medical units. In addition to the City of Greenville Fire Department, responding units included Greenville Township Fire, Liberty Township Fire, New Madison Fire, Union City Fire, Arcanum Fire, Union City Rescue, Greenville Township Rescue, and Arcanum Rescue. Units from Ansonia Fire and Versailles Fire were manning the Greenville Fire Station in the event of another fire call within the city.
"Firefighters employed defensive firefighting operations due to the extent of the fire and the potential for collapse of the bowstring truss roof structure. The fire companies' crews were quickly able to get the fire under control and keep it from spreading to other nearby buildings. The wooden roof structure of the building was the main source of combustible materials which partially collapsed during the firefighting operations," stated a release from the Greenville Fire Department.
The total damage is still under evaluation, however initial estimates indicate the majority of damage was contained to the Beef Palace and Dairy Palace. The buildings are connected in the center of their structures, which was affected as well.
"It's probably over a million dollars worth of damage, but it could've been a lot worse had there been a major event going on or it it occurred at another property location," said Darke County Fair Manager Daryl Riffle. "It's bad, but we're glad no one was hurt, and we'll regroup, rebound, and make sure that there are beef cattle and dairy cows at the 2014 fair somehow. The show will go on."
Within the two buildings, the fair board stored various equipment, including gating, pens and three passenger shuttles. In addition to the fairground's equipment, several local businesses and organizations stored their equipment in trailers at the location, including the Darke County Parks District, Greg Peck Sound Systems and the Colavita Bicycle Club.
According to Riffle, the contractual arrangement specifies that the contractors store their possessions at their own risk, and their insurance is responsible in the event of item damages while in storage.
The Darke County Agricultural Board is in the process of notifying their respective insurance agencies and carriers and intend to determine future outcomes once they have more information.
"We'll continue to evaluate it at future board meetings, and we'll figure out what we need to with that area," said Riffle.
However in less than 24 hours, Riffle had already received an outpouring of support from the Darke County community and beyond, rallying behind the Greenville landmark.
"We're just very fortunate at a time like this that the response and support is overwhelming," he said. "We are much appreciative of that."
Riffle had already been contacted by several other counties fair board members who offered to lend their assistance if needed.
On Saturday afternoon, Riffle commended the local fire departments for their fast response and containment of the fire to only the two buildings, as the Swine Barn and Cattle Show Arena sat very close to the open flames, and were saved in the process.
During Friday night's fire, at least one firefighter was transported to the hospital from smoke inhalation.
The Ohio Fire Marshall's Office, Greenville Fire Department and Greenville Police Department are currently conducting a joint investigation to determine the cause of Friday's fire, and will release a statement after they have concluded their findings.
The fair board has a regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, where they hope to have more information and determine future options.

Meet the Magazine Staff
If you're wondering who's behind UMBC Magazine, look no further than the Alumni House basement. There, a team of writers and designers -- most of them alumni themselves -- are working to create an intellectually stimulating, diverting magazine they hope will make you proud.
Richard Byrne '86, English
Richard is the founding editor of UMBC Magazine. He has worked as an editor at The Chronicle of Higher Education, Washington City Paper and St. Louis Magazine. His freelance writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Guardian, Time (online), and Foreign Policy. In his spare time, he writes plays and is a member of Washington, D.C.'s, Taffety Punk Theatre Company. As a student at UMBC, Richard edited Bartleby, regularly eschewed sleep, and made his home in the Chesapeake and Patapsco residence halls.
Jim Lord '99, Visual Arts
During Jim's final semester at UMBC, he worked as the part-time web assistant for UMBC's Creative Services, and he's been with the group in various roles ever since. In his current position as Design Director, Jim oversees the day-to-day operations of the studio and continues to design tons of stuff for the campus community. Jim transferred to UMBC in 1997, and while here spent most of his time focusing on his design degree, playing intramural sports, hanging with friends, and driving to the Sip 'n Bite, Double T Diner, and the Paper Moon Diner (he loves pancakes). He was a resident of the Terrace and West Hill apartment communities and has fond memories of Dogapalooza, Quadmania, and the original Chick-Fil-A in the Pub (not the new one that's "coming soon").
Michelle Jordan '93, Visual Arts
Michelle graduated from UMBC with a degree in visual arts, emphasis in photography, in the era before the interwebs. After college, she moved from photography to web design and programming. She has been trying to keep up with the ever-changing world wide web ever since. Michelle returned to UMBC in 2004 to work as a web designer for Creative Services. She likes rescuing cats, dreaming, saving the environment, reading books and seeing daylight.
Jenny O'Grady
Jenny is the only member of the magazine staff without a degree from UMBC; she hopes you will forgive her. She earned her bachelor's degree in English from Goucher College, and her M.F.A. in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore. She has worked as a newspaper reporter, a graphic designer and an editor. Currently, she oversees alumni and development communications for UMBC, including Retriever Net, UMBC's alumni online community. By night, she's an adjunct professor with her former M.F.A. program. She enjoys hiking, running, poetry, book arts, the interwebs, comic books, and zombie movies.
Erin Ouslander '03, Visual Arts
Erin graduated from UMBC in 2003 and has been working as a print designer for the university ever since. She likes dinosaurs, Michael Jackson, and the color yellow. When she's not at work, you can usually find her snozzling her cat or watching mindless television with her hubby, Matt, who is also a UMBC alum.

Snohomish WWII vet cherishes visit to D.C. memorials
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Ralph Sterley, an 88-year-old WWII veteran who lives in Snohomish, recently returned from an "Honor Flight" to Washington, D.C. He was one of 36 vets from the Puget Sound area on the inaugural trip for the Puget Sound chapter of the organization.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Ralph Sterley, an 88-year-old World War II veteran who lives in Snohomish, recently returned from an "Honor Flight" to Washington, D.C. He was one of 36 vets from the Puget Sound area on the inaugural trip for the Puget Sound chapter of the organization.
Sterley, now 88, served on a submarine in the Pacific during the war.
"I thought, 'It would be nice to see that, but I probably won't make the trip back there to do it,'" he said.
As it turned out, Sterley not only made the trip, he didn't have to pay a dime.
Last month, Sterley was one of 36 veterans who made the Honor Flight Network's first-ever trip from Seattle.
Under the program, supported by donations, World War II veterans are flown for free to see the war memorials in the nation's capital.
It's a whirlwind journey -- a day to get there, a day to see the memorials and a day to get home.
The volunteers who accompanied the veterans on the trip went out of their way to make sure the men were safe and comfortable, Sterley said.
"They were really organized," he said.
The group was greeted with grand receptions after landing both in D.C. and back in Seattle. Here, fire trucks shot water into the air, bagpipe bands escorted the veterans through Sea-Tac Airport and people dressed in World War II period uniforms and carrying flags marched behind. Sterley's son, Bob, 66, estimated the greeting party at 500 people.
From 2005 through 2012, the Springfield, Ohio-based Honor Flight Network transported more than 98,500 veterans to Washington, D.C.
The group currently focuses its efforts on World War II veterans because, according to their website, about 800 of those veterans are passing away every day. Eventually the focus will shift to veterans of the wars in Korea and Vietnam.
Until last month, all the group's flights from Washington state had departed from Spokane.
About a year ago, Sterley was attending one of the monthly meetings of a submarine veterans group when another veteran told him Honor Flight was planning a trip from Seattle.
"I didn't know about it before that," he said.
He filled out an application and eventually was selected.
In addition to the memorial to those who died in the Second World War, Sterley's trip included visits to the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
As luck would have it, his group was in Washington, D.C., during the government shutdown.
Technically, the monuments were closed, in some cases with signs and sawhorses blocking the streets, Sterley said. The fountains weren't running.
"They were kind of closed but not closed," Sterley said.
The veterans and other visitors on foot still were able to get through. At the World War II memorial, veterans were told they had to be in wheelchairs, even if they were fit and spry like Sterley. There weren't enough volunteer staff members on the trip to push all the veterans, so other visitors stepped up. Sterley was wheeled in by a Marine, he said.
Later, Sterley had to go to the restroom. He was told he'd have to go to a row of portable toilets where there were long lines.
He was escorted to the front by a woman visiting the memorial.
"She was yelling, 'World War II vet, submarine man, Pacific theater, coming through,'" Sterley recalled.
Sterley was stationed aboard the submarine Sea Owl for a year-and-a-half in 1944 and '45. He was 17 when he began training for the deployment, he said.
The sub sunk a Japanese submarine in the harbor at Wake Island, Sterley said. Being the first one to spot the enemy sub, he was later awarded a bottle of whiskey, which he raffled off.
"I got quite a lot of money," he said.
The sub also sank a Japanese destroyer escort boat and shot up an enemy radio station on Pratas Island in the South China Sea, Sterley said.
The sub navigated past floating mines and felt concussions from depth charges dropped nearby, but was never hit nor were any of its crew members killed while Sterley was aboard, he said.
When he returned from the war he attended the University of Washington on the GI Bill and became an electrical engineer. He worked for the Bonneville Power Administration, built his house in Snohomish in 1957 and raised nine children.
Through the decades Sterley has attended meetings of submarine veterans -- for years, it was a World War II-only group until it lost most of its members. Now, the United States Submarine Veterans Inc. has opened its membership to submarine vets of all wars.
Sterley, a widower, still does home repairs.
"If he and I had a foot race," his son Bob said, "he'd beat me."

I haven't visited Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams in Ohio, but I've heard Jeni Bauer's ice cream was sensational. Because I can't get everywhere – no matter how hard I try – her ice cream came to me in the form of her book, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home.
When Jeni's book was released, we had a nice interchange via e-mail about ice cream making, including her technique for skipping the eggs and using other ingredients to get a specific consistency. She's a stickler for getting rid of ice crystals so milk and cream get boiled to remove water, and corn starch is added to absorb any additional water that might be lingering in your mixture, to help keep the ice cream as smooth as possible.

The Law School Early Entry Option allowed me to start my second career as an attorney a year earlier than I otherwise would have. Condensing a seven-year degree into only six years is beneficial to any student, but it was especially valuable to me, as an older student to whom time, quite literally, was money.
—Trudy Marietta Mintz, B.A. '04, J.D. '06

With the information presented in this book on their occurrence and distribution, carabids become the best-known beetle family in Connecticut in terms of species-level distribution and historical records. The diversity of habitats in which carabids occur and the large number of species that exist provide the basis for the use of this group of beetles as a significant indicator of changes in the environment.
