Couple things.
Just renewed my Voodoo tickets.
Also, the Arena Bowl got moved to 9:30 local time... it got pumped by the Jets preseason game (Tebow).
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Keep them as the Hornets all of these names suck and the racially charged suggestions on NOLA.com make the city look bad.
I have always liked the hornets name too, however from a merchandising standpoint, the hornets brand will forever be linked to Charlotte. Which wouldn't be a problem except that the Charlotte brand of the hornets is more popular and recognizable than the New Orleans hornets brand, especially outside of the state. No need to live in that shadow forever. I would give a new name to support in this post, but the two that I offered up months ago were not too popular,so imma just stay silent on that...
Im in favor of Pelicans

I'm leaning towards something original right now even though VooDoo and Brass are solid names.
Arc Angels, Carnival, and even Krewe. But I would be good with VooDoo and Brass too. Those are the 5 names I'm fine with.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Krewe remains the name that is easiest to identify with. Just cuz it isn't immediately obvious to the uninitiated, it only takes a brief explanation before it settles into being accepted.
"Krewe? You mean like a funny spelling of Crew?"
"Kind of. It's what Mardi Gras parade organizations call themselves like the Krewe of Zulu or the Krewe of Rex."
"Oh. Okay. Kinda cool, I guess."
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
However, Arc Angels would totally be epic...............................
I like Krewe cuz it's people. There's an aesthetic there I identify with.
Carnival, to me, sounds like a big party that isn't to be taken seriously. Not a joke, so much as some place to have fun and cut loose.
And Arc(h) Angels has a nice ring to it...............................................
Crap. I think I did that wrong.
Nothing wrong with Carnival. Just rather go with Basketball Krewe of New Orleans as the official name.
i think i would rather be called the new orleans butt holes than the krewe
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
for those newbs.
1) City named after Duke of Orleans
2) Every Mardi Gras krewe has leadership called.. Dukes.
3) Even connects with our musical heritage, the Dukes of Dixieland.
4) Dub did a nice mock up on the unis and logos as well.
I've grown partial to Voodoo myself. Rolls off the tongue better than any other options IMO.
Rhythm Kings were THE original New Orleans' jazz band.....and is cooler than krewe. The Trail Blazers have a two part name.
a lot of good NORK jazz to play at the games, too

We had quite a few interesting conversations as we pondered and navigated the nightly canopy.
Hey guys, new poster. I am originally from South Carolina, grew up a Hornets fan, and went to college in Charlotte. When the Bobcats became a franchise I made them my team, 'cuz the Carolinas are my home; but I'm about at my last straw with this franchise. The name Hornets will always be synonymous with Charlotte, and growing up, for me. I'm hoping Jordan cleans house like Benson is doing, and I'm hoping y'all change your name so Charlotte gets the name back - but as you can imagine I'm about at my breaking point with that franchise.
I moved to Mississippi State for gradschool and I love visiting NOLA. My fiancee loves it too, and we can see ourselves possibly living there one day. Charlotte is still home in my heart, so I'm hoping y'all change your name, Jordan buys it, and we see drastic improvement in the QC. I really like Voodoo, Krewe, and Archangels for the name change. I don't like angels and I really don't like cardinals. There would be, what, 3 major sports teams with the name cardinals? If Jordan doesn't get his **** together I'll be all in with this franchise, this is my neck of the woods now, this is my old franchise, and I hate everything about the Bobcats except for the city they belong to. Just change the name, Hornets will forever be Charlotte and growing up to me. NOLA deserves its own brand.

Heyneke Meyer began his tenure in the English Premiership on a winning note with Leicester beating Gloucester 20-8 on Sunday.
The Tigers had been put through their paces in the pre-season, and the improved fitness levels were evident in Sunday's big away victory. Meyer's side only conceded one try despite a determined Gloucester attack, and the former Bulls mentor commended his charges for their dogged defence in the aftermath.
Butch James also inspired his English club to victory when Bath beat Bristol 33-20. The Springbok flyhalf kicked 18 points just eight days after the big Tri-Nations win over Australia at Ellis Park. This was also the first time Bath has beaten Bristol at the Memorial Stadium since 1998.
Bath coach Steve Meehan lauded James for his match-winning effort.
"He makes things look easy. He is one of those players who has time on the ball. He has a lot of confidence on the guys in front of him and he has this marvellous way of talking to everyone on the field to organise them."
In other Premiership matches, a Nick Evans inspired Harlequins downed Saracens despite the try-scoring intentions of former Bok scrumhalf Neil de Kock. Faan Rautenbach's London Irish were more successful in their 26-14 win over rivals Wasps on Saturday.

we chose a purple and grey color scheme, and how it looked on the screen is just how it looks in real-life. Absolutely wonderful! They're good magnets (I was worried bc they are so cheap) but they look amazing and we haven't had any problems with shipping them or sticking them to the fridge. Definitely would recommend these magnets, plus the customer service was SO helpful!
They came out so pretty, colors were a perfect match! And the paper quality was great not flimsy at all! Love them!!
Absolutely LOVE my invites
All of the pieces of my invitations were amazing. High quality, beautiful design. Not to mention, the customer service at magnetstreet was awesome. Very personal and helpful for something that is very important!
Fresh and Unique Touch
We needed labels that had our return address and also wanted something to make the guest addresses look nice and these wraparound labels did the trick. We used see-through labels to print the guest addresses on and layered on top of this wraparound label, it was just adorable and classy. Even my fiance was so happy how it's different, something you've never seen before. They're wide enough that whether you choose to write on them or use stick-on labels, you have more than enough space for names and addresses. And the material is paper-like so the ink won't smudge should you choose to write or maybe have a calligrapher do it for you.

A decade of hair dos and dont's and of course, The Rachel
Next time you're out with your girls, take a look around. We're willing to bet that more than half of you have separated-at-birth hairstyles. If this was 1994, that would so not be the case.
Why? Because waaaay back in the '90s, popular hairstyles were all over the place, from sporty/preppy to Goth, boho/grunge to sexpot, and chameleon hair was the norm. "Everyone was more daring and playful then," says celebrity hairstylist Sean James Decuers of the Rita Hazan salon in New York City, who has styled Jessica Simpson, Jaime Pressly, and Cynthia Nixon.
Another big difference between now and "the good 'ol days": Now, we look to celebrity hairstyles inspiration, but in the 90s, it was all about the supermodels. "Think of Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell -- they had a hair makeover every other month," Decuers says. "If you look at any group picture of them, chances are none of them will have the same hairstyle, and that doesn't happen today." (Ahem, check out the pic to the left, see what we mean?)
Granted, an actress can't lop off her hair on a whim, remember what happened to Keri Russell? But now it seems like everywhere you turn you see long, beachy waves -- sexy, but it's getting kinda boring.
So what should we take away from these best and worst '90s hairstyles? No, we don't need to bring back The Rachel -- we need to remember to have fun and play with our hair. It's what Naomi, Kate and Rachel Green would want. So check out our favorite looks from these hot-in-the-90s celebs: Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman, Calista Flockhart, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Kate Moss.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Saluki is a member of the Hound and Southern Groups.
35-65 lb.
Male: 23-28 inches: female: smaller
The coat may be white, cream, fawn, golden, red, grizzle, black and tan, tricolor or a combination on a white background.
The Saluki may sport one of two kinds of coats: smooth and silky; longer feathering.
The independent Saluki gives an impression of grace. Seen as dignified and gentle, this breed is loyal to the family. Some dogs are shy.
Country of Origin:
Middle East: Turkestan to Turkey
The Saluki was regarded as Egypt's royal dog. The Upper Nile region is the final resting place of many mummified dogs. This breed accompanied Arab nomads and brought down gazelles, foxes and hares. With a wide distribution from the Caspian Sea to the Sahara, the Salukis show great variation. In England this breed proved a great sight hunter for chasing hares.
Named after an Arabian city that has vanished. Arabian Hound, Gazelle Hound, Persian Greyhound, Persian Sighthound, Tazi, Tanji.
This affectionate breed is extremely sensitive. This friendly dog may be attached to one person in the family. Historically, the Saluki's instinct is to chase and bring down non-canine animals. Be aware this dog is easily distracted and may not be obedient.
Provide training with love and consistency. Avoid harsh corrections and discipline. Do not expect the Saluki to be perfectly obedient.
Exercise daily in a safe, enclosed area. This breed loves to run at high speed in great circles. Walking or trotting along a bike are great activities. Do not run with the dog who will easily out-run you. Activities can include lure coursing and open-field coursing. This breed enjoys chasing small animals and moving objects. Avoid rough play.
Owners need to provide a home with acreage. This indoor dog needs access to a yard. The Saluki should have a soft bed inside the home. Avoid keeping the dog out in the cold for an extended time. Keep on a leash unless in an enclosed area. This dog will chase and not come back when called. This breed is good with older, considerate children. Do no keep pets like birds, rabbits and rodents. Another Saluki would be its great companion.
No breeders listed at this time.

JON CARDINELLI writes that Heyneke Meyer is doing the Springboks, and Morné Steyn himself, a disservice by persisting with the out-of-form flyhalf.
One more point would have given the Boks victory in Port Elizabeth. One more would have made the journey to Mendoza a success in the strictest sense.
Had the Boks converted more drop-goal and penalty opportunities in Perth, they may have built a lead so imposing that the Aussies may have failed to come back.
These are the small margins that have meant the difference between success and failure. It may seem a simplistic view, as the Boks are guilty of inadequacies across the board, but there's no denying that had they converted more of these shots on goal, they would now be sporting a solid six from six record instead of a mess of statistics that read won three, drawn two, and lost one.
Six from six wouldn't confirm that all is well with the Bok game plan, but it would indicate that they still have the means to win close games. That they didn't get the desired and very necessary results in Port Elizabeth and Mendoza confirmed that they no longer had that game-winning edge.
Morné Steyn, South Africa's Mr Reliable of the past three seasons, has battled with his consistency and confidence. Those erratic showings in South Africa and Argentina boded badly for the all important Tests in Australasia.
Steyn's problem is a fundamental one. I was in England recently and bumped into a former Bok flyhalf, one of the great goal-kickers of the modern era. Having watched Steyn closely over the last year, he has made some interesting and worrying observations about Steyn's goal-kicking technique.
Significantly, these flaws were highlighted after the Boks beat Argentina in Cape Town. It was a time when everybody, including Meyer, claimed that Steyn was back to his best. My source shook his head at this assertion. Steyn, he argued, would continue to struggle.
The following Saturday, Steyn missed two goal attempts in Mendoza. Two weeks later, he missed one penalty and two drop-goal attempts.
It wasn't unexpected, at least not from the former Bok flyhalf, and it once again raised the question that everybody has asked at one time or another: What does Steyn offer the Boks if not a reliable goal-kicking option?
His tactical-kicking game has always been a strength, and to be fair, the Boks were good in this department during the first half of the Test in Perth. But too often his tactical- and goal-kicking strengths have been put forward as the argument for his inclusion, and are the reasons why his limp attacking game and frail defence are so often overlooked.
Teams need a reliable goal-kicker to win tight matches, but the modern game also demands a balance between attack and defence. Steyn cannot offer that balance. He possesses neither the skill set nor the vision to be a force on attack, and is a traditional flyhalf in the sense that he is loathe to put his body on the line in the tackle.
The Bok game plan has been lambasted in recent months. Most have called for a complete overhaul and pointed to the All Blacks as an example of how the Boks should play. I agree that the Boks can learn from the All Blacks, but I don't think a complete rethink is required.
The All Blacks are the best team on the planet because they boast the best balance between attack and defence. The Chiefs won this year's Super Rugby tournament because they enjoyed such a balance, and the Sharks were South Africa's best team because they too embraced a more rounded approach.
This doesn't mean the Boks should stop kicking for territory; it simply means that they should vary their approach and become a less predictable force. And to do that, they will need to employ a flyhalf who is capable of asking questions of the opposition defence.
Steyn is not that flyhalf, and given his loss of goal-kicking form, he can no longer make a contribution to the Boks.
Persisting with Steyn will do the Boks more harm than good. It would be more prudent to send him back to Pretoria where he can address the problems with his kicking technique.
Let him get to the root of his troubles, let him build some confidence in the Currie Cup. Let him rediscover that trademark accuracy and amass so many points that, as was the case in 2009, he cannot be denied a place in the Bok set-up.
Meyer claims that Steyn is a warrior. They're cheap words. Let Steyn prove it; let him fight his way back into contention. Don't reward his mediocrity by picking him week after week. Let him earn his place.
Dropping Steyn will allow the Boks to develop a more balanced approach. It will also force Steyn to address his flagging strengths.
I doubt that installing Pat Lambie or Johan Goosen at flyhalf will bring the Boks immediate success, but it will ensure that they start to move in the right direction.
Goosen earned his first cap in Perth, and in those 10 minutes he offered more on attack than Steyn has in three years. When Lambie has started at 10, he has also posed more of an attacking threat. The Australasian tour in 2011 was a prime example, as Lambie stood out despite the poor effort of his forwards.
There is some value in the current game plan, and it would be foolish to dispense with it completely. What's needed is variation, an allowance and understanding that attack is an integral part of the modern game, and that no team can defend for 80 minutes.
It's wrong that Steyn's loss of goal-kicking form should be the catalyst for change. But change is desperately needed.
Steyn's inaccuracies have already cost South Africa in three matches. They cannot be ignored whether your game plan is ultra conservative or perfectly balanced. Whichever way you want to look at it, persisting with Steyn would be counterproductive.
That being said, Meyer must avoid the temptation to turn Lambie and Goosen into Steyn clones. Both these players have the potential to become complete flyhalves in the mould of Dan Carter. They must be backed and allowed the necessary room to realise that potential.
Embrace their full skill set and you will embrace a more balanced approach. Only then will the results against New Zealand and Australia come with any great consistency.

Iconic Actor Gary Busey Latest Celeb Personality to Lend Voice to TomTom Portable Navigation Devices
~ Always Entertaining, Sometimes Irreverent, Busey Gets Drivers Where They Need to Go With Hip and Humorous Dialog ~
Concord, Mass. – April 3, 2007 – Gary Busey knows just where you're headed – and he'll tell you how to get there, too.

Navigate your way around town with Gary giving you turn-by-turn advice along with a few choice "Buseyisms" – the kinds of sayings that have turned him into an icon of cool across America and around the world.
Gary's driving advice ranges from the philosophical ("Make a U-Turn. Both the right and left side of your brain will be in action") to the outrageous ("Left turn ahead. Watch out for the animals in your area. If you create a roadkill, you are required to stop, pick it up, and eat it").

I heard excerpts of this today on Freethought Radio. It's called God on Trial and here's a synopsis:
Faced with the terrors of Auschwits, a group of prisoners puts God on trial for abandoning His chosen people. Sir Antony Sher, Dominic Cooper, and Stellan Skarsgard all star in this riveting drama about believers and non-believers coming to terms with unprecedented evil.

Men's Lacrosse Falls to Queens 4-3 in 7 OT's; Set All-Time NCAA Record for Longest Game
March 26, 2011
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Queens University of Charlottes Corey Geroy scored with 18 seconds left in the seventh overtime period as the Royals took a 4-3 victory over Pfeiffer University in thrilling fashion during Conference Carolinas mens lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. Both teams combined to break the all-time NCAA record by playing for 87 minutes and 42 seconds, two minutes and 42 seconds longer than Virginia-Maryland back on March 28, 2009. The nearly three-hour contest sees Queens improve to 7-1 overall, 3-0 in league play while the Falcons lose their second-straight falling to 8-3, 2-1.
Pfeiffer was just a mere 11 seconds away from a 3-2 win until Jimmy Baker found the back of the net late in the fourth quarter to even the contest at three forcing the extra time. The Royals B.J. Leighton began scoring on the day with 2:06 left in the first period. Pfeiffers Tim Kleehammer would even the match with 8:23 remaining in the second quarter as that 1-1 mark would carry itself into the half.
Queens would grab a 2-1 in the third 4:17 in as Matthew Michael assisted on a Brian Rose strike. Just over four minutes later, the Falcons Robert Hope would again square the contest with his goal midway through the third. Pfeiffer took their 3-2 lead with 6:59 left in the fourth as Kory Lutes tallied an unassisted goal, but Baker was able to get his shot off with 11 seconds left to force overtime.
Queens held the advantage in shots 45-43 while both teams were dead even in groundballs (45) and face-offs (8-for-16). The Royals held the advantage in overtime shots 17-15. Brandon Macknew made 21 saves in net for the Royals while Hayden Kirk turned away 19 for Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer now returns home to play in final three games before the Conference Carolinas tournament beginning with Lees-McRae on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

iRobot Roomba 780 Robotic Vacuum$569.99
Do you want to liberate yourself from the unpleasant cleaning chore? Today you can choose to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner that will perform autonomous vacuuming for rooms in your home. Shaped like discs and sitting low to the floor, there are a wide variety of robotic vacuum cleaners that you can use at your home. The iRobot Roomba 780 Robotic Vacuum features Dirt Detect™ Series 2 technology that enables concentrated cleaning to tackle dirt in the dirtiest sections of your house. Its state-of-the-art touchpad ensures that you control this revolutionary cleaning system with the touch of your fingertips. Lightweight at just 8.40 lb, it also features an advanced cleaning head designed with pet owners in mind, an AeroVac™ Series 2 Bin and dual HEPA air filters for capturing the tiniest dust particles. The technological features such as iAdapt® Responsive Navigation Technology will leave you amazed at the cleaning capability of this compact yet powerful cleaning system.
iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver$565.72With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 560 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty, bagless dust bin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.For added convenience, the vacuum's cleaning head automatically adjusts to transition from wood, tile, and linoleum to carpets and rugs, while improved anti-tangle technology ensures it will not get stuck on cords and rug fringe. If the unit begins to pick up a cord or carpet tassel, it will automatically reverse the direction of its brushes to extract the item. A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so the vacuum automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under beds, couches, and other hard-to-reach areas, it actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright. The vacuum also senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them, and it uses built-in cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other drop-offs. In addition, invisible barriers can be set using the 2 auto virtual walls included in the system. To mark off-limit areas, simply place a virtual wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to the distance of the opening. The unit automatically detects the beam and will not cross it.The vacuuming robot returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleaning cycles or when the battery starts to run low.

Roomba 630 has superior hair handling ability; the robot utilizes AeroVac Technology, maximizing air flow through its cleaning head to pull hair and debris off the brushes and into the bin evenly. The newly designed larger bin requires emptying less often and the innovative composition of the robots longer-lasting brushes allows it to handle fibers such as hair more effectively, making maintenance quicker and easier than ever.

VANCEBORO — While Jamie Cherry was nearing another milestone, the only thing she was focused on was getting a win over White Oak on Senior Night.
Cherry pulled up and drained her second-consecutive 3-pointer. The basket in the third quarter of Tuesday's girls' basketball game put her alone in the Eagles' record book.
Cherry, still just a junior, eclipsed 2,000 points. She needed 19 points entering the game and finished with a game-high 23.
"They really didn't tell me until they announced it to everyone," said Cherry. "They told me how much I needed, but I wasn't really focusing on that.
"I was trying to get my seniors to have a great night and for them to get a win on Senior Night."
West Craven soared to a 53-28 win.
Cherry, a
The three-year varsity starter netted 655 points as a freshman, 759 last season and 590 this year.
Around this time last season, Cherry was honored for scoring her 1,000th point.
"It's a lot of points," Cherry said. "I am honored and shocked that I was allowed the opportunity to get to the 2,000-point milestone.
Just seeing my family get so proud of me for getting that mark, it's a great feeling."
The Eagles (18-5, 11-2 Coastal) wrap up the regular season at
West Craven could easily play six or seven more games this season.
With the rest of this season, and all next year, Cherry has a shot at 3,000 points.
"That's kind of pushing it," Cherry said. "It would be nice to hit 3,000 points, but as long as we are winning, and I am helping my teammates win, that's all that matters."
Cherry will be honored prior to Monday's first-round Coastal Conference Tournament game.
"I feel special about being able to do it while I am here at West Craven," Cherry said. "I am trying to make history and put West Craven back on the map where it is supposed to be."
Cherry is averaging close to 26 points per game, but her defensive intensity has led to many easy buckets. She has seven 30-point games and is making 75 percent of her free throws.
"Everybody sees her as an offensive threat, but when she wants to play defense, that's more impressive because she knows the game so well," said West Craven coach David Fernandez. "She sees the floor well, so she can see when steals are coming. When
she jumps those reads and gets them, it's an easy layup."

The Hardangerfjord area has a population of 23,000, and covers an area of 6,266 square kilometres. The Hardangerfjord is 179 kilometres long and its maximum depth is 860 metres.
The mountainous eastern part - the Hardangervidda - is the largest highland plateau in Northern Europe.
Hardanger has been an important European tourist destination since the nineteenth century and you can choose accommodation from top class resort hotels, mountain lodges to guesthouses, cabins and camp sites.
Within a one hour-drive from Bergen you are in Hardanger. From Oslo it is a five hour-drive. Voss and the Sognefjord are just north of the Hardangerfjord area, in the south you will find Ryfylke and Sunnhordland.
There are two national parks in Hardanger – the Hardangervidd National Park and the Folgefonna National Park. In both there are numerous marked paths and a number of staffed lodges and self service huts.
Hardangervidda is an eldorado for hikers with tent and fishing rods. The area is famous for its many lakes and rivers full of brown trout.
At the Folgefonna Glacier there are several options for guided glacier hikes and skiing (alpine/cross-country) during the summer.
Hardanger is excellent for drives, hikes, fjord cruises and other outdoor adventures. There are guided tours or equipment rental available for kayaking, rafting, cycling, summer skiing/snowboarding, hikes, blue ice glacier walks and more.
The fjord landscape is beautiful with glaciers, steep mountains, waterfalls and lush vegetation and fruit trees along the fjord.
There have been permanent settlements in the area since prehistoric times. Today you can still see beautiful rock carvings dating more than 5,000 years back in time.
During the nation building process in the late nineteenth century the Hardangerfjord area played a vital role. The romantic-nationalism movement used the traditional Hardanger folk costume as a national symbol. Folk music and the nature have also played an important part in Norwegian fine arts, music, prose and poetry. Hardanger embroidery can be studied at Hardanger Folkemuseum in Utne.
Røldal Stave Church is the only stave schurch that has been preserved in the county of Hordaland. Next to the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Røldal was the most important destination for pilgrimages in Norway.
There are several historic hotels in the region. Utne Hotel has been in continous operation since 1722 and Jaunsen Gjestgjevarstad (guesthouse) in Granvin was established in 1674.
Fruit growing in Hardanger began in the thirteenth cetury when Cistercian monks settled down in the area.
Today Hardanger is a major producer of fruit and berries (mainly apples, pears, cherries, plums, raspberries and strawberries). The region is known as the orchard of Norway.
Apple cider from Hardanger is also well-known in Norway. Ulvik Cider House is a major producer of cider, and is open for visitors.

Brophy's School-Record 30 Kills Lead Men's Volleyball to Second-Straight Tournament Title with 3-1 Win over Limestone
April 13, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. For the second-consecutive season, the Pfeiffer University mens volleyball captured the 2013 Conference Carolinas mens volleyball tournament championship scoring a 3-1 (25-17, 25-23, 22-25, 25-15) victory over Limestone College inside the Merner Gym on Saturday night. Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) was named the tournaments most outstanding player after putting down a school-record 30 kills. The second-seeded Falcons end the season at 17-8 recording back-to-back titles while the Saints finish 2013 at 15-14.
Backed by a raucous home crowd, Pfeiffer came out to a quick 4-1 lead on a Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA) kill and ace by Brophy. Eric Zaun (Cherry Hill, NJ) started to bring the Saints back into the opening contest with his second kill of the night for a 10-8 match. Bortner and Kyle Mariano (Kendall Park, NJ) would later extend the Falcon lead to 14-10 while a few Pfeiffer miscues and kills from Zaun and Andrew Miller (Miami, FL) again kept the Saints alive trailing 19-15. Brophy would help the Falcons pull away late by throwing down three more kills including two of the final three plays to give Pfeiffer a 25-17 set and 1-0 match lead.
In the second, Pfeiffer had to come-from-behind trailing 9-6 early on after another Kevin Hart (Menifee, CA) kill. Brophy would then put down the next three points for a 9-9 game while striking again just moments later to put the Falcons up 14-13. A Miller kill coupled with a Pfeiffer attack error suddenly saw Limestone square the second set 22-22. After Brophy and Scott Warren (Manhattan Beach, CA) traded kills, a Bortner kill and set-ending error by the Saints got the Falcons to within one set victory of their second-straight title.
Limestone would hold off a potential Pfeiffer sweep carrying a 12-8 lead on another Hart kill until Brophy struck again squaring the contest up at 20 and 21. Two Falcon errors and pair of final kills by Zaun would help the Saints hold off the sweep forcing the fourth set with a 25-22 victory.
In the final stanza, Pfeiffer bolted out to a 12-6 lead using five more Saints errors while Brophy started the set with three-straight kills followed by David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) ace. Back-to-back kills from Brophy and Bortner would force Limestone to burn their second and final timeout at 16-8 while Mariano and Brophy got the Falcons within four points of the title with kills for a 21-11 lead. Andrew Pile (Macungie, PA) would try to keep the Saints in it but a final kill from Fabio Diniz (Belo Horizonte, BRAZIL) and fitting championship-clinching kill from Brophy gave the Falcons their 3-1 win and second-straight championship.
Brophys school-record 30 kills was aided by Specians 50 assists and 13 digs. Brophy would hit .509 in the victory while libero Mark Hess (Lebanon, PA) would record 11 digs as all three were named to the 2013 all-tournament team. Zauns 17 kills would lead Limestone followed by Millers 11. Both were also named to the postseason team as well along with Angel Dache of Mount Olive and Joshua Jones of Lees-McRae.

Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen was a major voice for county transit
Washington State Senate
State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano Island, speaks during a debate on the floor during the 2012 session. Watching intently are state Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, (near background) and state Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle (deep background).
Washington Secretary of State Archives
A panel of state representatives holds a hearing in 1990 on a controversial proposal known as the Growth Management Act. Seated (from left to right) Rep. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano Island, House Speaker Joe King, D-Vancouver, Rep. Maria Cantwell, D-Edmonds, and Rep. Jennifer Belcher, D-Olympia. Haugen, Cantwell and Belcher were among the six Democratic women dubbed the "Steel Magnolias."
Thursday afternoon, she will run her last meeting as chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee, where she's steered billions of dollars into building roads, fixing bridges and operating ferries while frustrating those who stood in the path of her priorities and those of her constituents.
"For me, it's always been about serving the people," she said.
Haugen is wrapping up a 30-year career in the Legislature. She wanted four more years but lost re-election this month to state Rep. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor.
This week she's packing up her Olympia office and bidding farewell to colleagues and lobbyists, many of whom describe her as a tough, stubborn, headstrong and emotional lawmaker peers preferred fighting alongside, rather than against, on an issue.
Rep. Marko Liias, D-Edmonds, drew swords with Haugen on funding transit services -- he wanted a lot more money than she wanted to allocate.
"We fought tooth and nail on transit issues," Liias said. "If she disagreed with you, she was not going to give you an inch."
The two found themselves on the same side in wanting to help Washington State University expand its presence at Everett Community College.
"What made her a very tough opponent made her a great ally," he said.
Former Secretary of Transportation Doug MacDonald said he had plenty of memorable experiences with Haugen.
"Mary Margaret is a character. I have had one or two meetings in her Senate office that were downright uncomfortable," he said. "Also when I felt there were things that needed to be said, I could say them. She was willing to listen as well as lecture."
Haugen will be remembered as one who could be easily moved to tears in floor debates talking about women's health care, the need for a college close to Island County, or the future of her grandchildren.
She also could turn on the charm outside the political spotlight. She loves to cook and at the end of a legislative session she'd feed the staff and members of the transportation committee.
Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, recalled the first time the two met. It came years before he ran for office. He lived in Stanwood and called her up as a constituent to talk about an issue.
"She invited me over to her house for lunch," he said.
And Haugen never lost her touch as a hair dresser. In 30 years, she trimmed the bangs and locks of plenty of men and women lawmakers of both parties. She said she didn't get paid for that.
"I would charge them one vote," she joked.
Politics of frustration
Haugen's roots in Camano Island run deep. She's a third-generation island resident and today is living a quarter-mile from where she was born.
She attended public schools, graduated from Twin City High School in Stanwood in 1959 and went to beauty college.
As a young mom, she opened Mary Margaret Beauty Salon in her home while raising her four children.
She marched into politics out of frustration that her daughter's school couldn't provide the help she needed in reading. In 1971, she won a seat on the Stanwood-Camano School District Board of Directors and won re-election twice.
In 1982, campaigning on a platform of fully funding public schools, Haugen won a seat in the state House of Representatives.
A decade later, when Republican state Sen. Jack Metcalf passed on re-election to run for Congress, Haugen captured the open seat by beating GOP hopeful Dick Caldwell. Voters re-elected her four times.
Betsy and Jim Shields met Haugen when she served on the school board and their son was in kindergarten. Thirty-five years later, the Camano Island couple remain close friends with her.
"I started going to school board meetings. Mary Margaret was the only woman on the board and the only member who thanked me for attending the meetings," Betsy Shields said.
'Steel Magnolias'
Haugen left her earliest fingerprints as a lawmaker in 1990 with passage of the controversial Growth Management Act, which imposed stricter rules for planning and development on cities and counties.
She was chairwoman of the House Local Government Committee where the original bill was introduced. It got broken into six pieces and each one moved separately through a different House panel.
At the time, women ran each of those six committees and they became known as the "Steel Magnolias" as they united behind passage of the policy.
"This was a big deal. We wanted growth. We wanted to make sure we had comprehensive planning. Mary Margaret was very vocal in saying that local government needed to have a voice in the process," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., then a state representative from Mountlake Terrace and one of the Steel Magnolias.
Haugen will leave her largest mark in transportation.
She's done two stints as chairwoman of the transportation committee. She played a big role in pushing through the nickel increase in the gas tax in 2003. She was a central figure in crafting and passing the 9.5 cent gas tax increase in 2005. Together, those funded $11 billion in projects on highways, bridges and ferries.
The latter package is where she put her hardball style to work to the benefit of one area of Snohomish County at the expense of another. She penciled in money for projects on U.S. 2. When state Sen. Val Stevens, R-Arlington, made clear she'd vote against the package, Haugen erased the dollars.
Meanwhile, she had not put any significant funds into projects on Highway 9. When state Sen. Dave Schmidt, R-Mill Creek said he'd vote for the package, she wrote in close to $110 million for improving and widening the highway.
Her record on Washington State Ferries is mixed. She's proud of the five new ferries built or under construction since 2007 and said she's made the agency's day-to-day operations much more transparent and accessible to the public.
She and other lawmakers endured criticism for keeping the aging Steel Electric class of vessels in operation despite their leaky hulls. And she's been blasted by ferry workers for not only pushing bills cutting their wages and benefits but disrespecting them in the process. Three of their unions endorsed Bailey in the election.
Haugen's exit will cost Snohomish and Island counties a powerful voice in debates on transportation. Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson knows the value of that voice.
The 2005 package included money for adding a carpool lane on I-5 through Everett and redoing the 41st Avenue interchange.
The original plan called for work to begin in 2010. Stephanson hoped to get it done by then, so travelers to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C., wouldn't face delays as they drove through the city.
"Had Mary Margaret not heard our plea, we would have been greeting Olympic visitors with orange cones," he said.
Only one regretted vote
Haugen's 30-year legislative trail winds through many other policy areas.
Securing Washington State University's presence in Everett in 2011 will rank as one of her milestones coming years after a proposed branch campus for the University of Washington was lost because of her battle with Stephanson and Dunshee on where to build it.
She wanted a site near Smokey Point for the UW branch campus while they wanted downtown Everett, and the resulting fight led to the loss of the campus, and the millions of dollars set aside by Gov. Chris Gregoire to get it started.
She wrote laws paving the way for cities to use automated traffic enforcement cameras, better known as red light cameras, which provided a financial boon to some cities. And she established the Office of Farmland Preservation to help sustain working farms.
She has no second thoughts on votes she cast, save one: the decision to allow the Washington State Convention Center to be built over I-5 in downtown Seattle.
"I think it limited doing anything else on the freeway," she said.
The one she doesn't regret -- though she figures it cost her votes this election -- is supporting the bill legalizing gay marriage. "I know in my heart I did the right thing," she said in conceding Nov. 9. "In my three decades in the Legislature, I've never hesitated to take hits for doing what I felt was right. That vote was one of the most soul-searching, and one of the best, I ever cast."
'She was not wishy-washy'
Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, said Haugen gave him valuable advice when he arrived in the Senate.
"She used to say, 'Remember who put you in office, kiddo,'" he recalled.
Haugen sure did. Her career is marked by laws she pushed to resolve specific concerns in her district and money she corralled for projects benefiting her constituents.
She wrote bills allowing residents to drive golf carts on designated roads and granting tax breaks for anaerobic digesters while garnering millions of dollars for construction of facilities at Cama Beach State Park.
Stanwood Mayor Dianne White was heartbroken and angry after Haugen's loss in the recent election.
"We had a real jewel in Mary Margaret," White said. "Mary Margaret was not wishy-washy. She would figure out her position on an issue, state that position and then stand by it."
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson called the senator her go-to person in Olympia.
"She was a strong advocate for our ferries and always ready to go to bat for anyone in our district," Price Johnson said.
"She was a great role model for me in that way. She always put the community first. People took her hard work and influence in Olympia for granted. She was a pillar."

Baseball's Tuttle Featured in Hometown Article After Another Solid 2012 Season on the Mound
June 7, 2012
Story by Andrew Simon, Lenoir News-Topic
For Pfeiffer University baseball coach Mark Hayes, there is nothing ambiguous about the role Bryan Tuttle fills on his team. Tuttle, a right-handed pitcher, just finished his junior season at the Division II school in Misenheimer, N.C. The 2009 Hibriten graduate earned a spot on the Conference Carolinas all-conference first team for the second year in a row.
"He's been the ace, no question," Hayes said. "The ace on the mound, in terms of production and numbers but also in terms of that bulldog approach and the mentality we look for in pitchers and recruits. He's able to display that every time he takes the mound."
Tuttle, who also played American Legion ball for Caldwell County Post 29, posted a 7-3 record in 13 starts for the Falcons (25-25). He completed five of those games, racking up 82 1/3 innings.
Tuttle's 2.73 ERA ranked fifth in Conference Carolinas, while his 83 strikeouts were first and compared favorably with his 12 walks.
"That's something that just sort of came naturally growing up," Tuttle said. "I've always had pretty good control."
The numbers were similar to the ones Tuttle put up as a sophomore, when he went 6-4 with a 3.50 ERA, 83 strikeouts and 21 walks 72 innings.
But not everything has gone according to plan for Tuttle in his college career.
Not wanting to sit on the bench as a freshman, he pursued an opportunity for playing time at Pfeiffer, only to deal with a tired arm that caused him to miss a chunk of the season. Tuttle went 1-3 with a 7.61 ERA in 23 2/3 innings.
He rebounded over the summer of 2010, when he rediscovered success with the 29ers.
"It was kind of like a warm-up," Tuttle said. "Building off the Legion hitters, you face some good ballplayers and then I had to turn around and play college guys, so it kind of built me up."
Tuttle returned to Pfeiffer with a year of experience and a rested arm, then made his big leap.
"Once he did that and figured out what it took to win at the college level, there was no turning back," Hayes said.
The only potential stumbling block was a serious injury to Tuttle's pitching shoulder. He felt a sharp pain in the joint near the end of his sophomore season and was diagnosed with a tear to his labrum, the cartilage that helps connect the arm bone to the socket.
Tuttle underwent surgery in July and couldn't pick up a baseball until December.
But when Pfeiffer opened against Lenoir-Rhyne on Feb. 1, Tuttle not only took the mound, he also didn't allow an earned run in six innings, totalling seven strikouts. He still had his stuff, despite the injury.
"I've always been an off-speed guy, so I didn't have to throw as hard as I could every time," said Tuttle, who uses a fastball, changeup, curveball and slider. "So I think that made it easier."
Tuttle allowed three or fewer earned runs in all but two starts, but the jewel of the bunch came against powerhouse Mount Olive on April 14. In what he called the highlight of his season, Tuttle surrendered only one run on four hits in seven innings and struck out eight to stop the fourth-ranked Trojans' 22-game winning streak.
Tuttle is taking the summer off from baseball to give his arm a rest but will be back with the Falcons next season as a senior.
His coach is expecting even bigger things.
"You never count Bryan Tuttle out," Hayes said. "He's going to continue to get better and continue to push himself. He's not going to be satisfied with where he's at. He wants to win a conference championship and go to regionals, and he's going to do everything in his power to make himself better and make those around him better. That's what a leader does."

Scotland flanker Alasdair Strokosch has been ruled out of Saturday's Test against the Springboks because of a calf strain.
Strokosch is the second Scotland flanker to succumb to injury in the space of a week. Openside Ross Rennie injured his shoulder in the recent Test against the All Blacks, and will also miss the clash against the Boks.
Coach Andy Robinson has opted to bring John Barclay into the starting side to replace Strokosch. Barclay will, however, play openside, with Kelly Brown moving to blindside.
Loose forward Stuart McInally is brought on to the bench.

These articles consider questions such as:
- How does the teacher educator help make teacher research a viable option for the infant/toddler, preschool and primary level teachers?
- How do teacher educators facilitate the reflection of teachers into their own teaching/learning situations and practice?
For the Teacher Educator highlights ways to support teacher research in both on-campus and off- campus programs. Articles might address topics such as designing teacher research courses and programs. Topics can also include innovative strategies for helping early childhood students and practicing teachers learn and use the skills of teacher research --identifying their own research questions that can be investigated empirically, designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating the results.
Another goal of For the Teacher Educator is to encourage teacher educators to create supportive networks off-campus in early childhood settings (for example, university–school collaborations) to provide opportunities and support for teacher research and collaborative dialogue among teachers. These networks might include teacher researcher groups meeting in centers and schools. Or, they could involve community organizations or programs through which teachers voices about how and what to teach and the nature of learning are included in educational decision-making and policies.
