Why Get Tested?
To determine whether you have human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) on the surface of your cells; to help assess the likelihood that you have an autoimmune disorder associated with the presence of HLA-B27
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of arthritis-like chronic joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation in certain areas of your body, such as your lower back, hips, neck, and chest, or have painful inflammation of the eyes called uveitis, especially if you are male and the symptoms began in your early 30s
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
HLA-B27 is a specific protein (termed a human leukocyte antigen or HLA) that is found on cell surfaces. The term HLA-B27 is also used to refer to the gene that codes for the HLA-B27 protein. The HLA-B27 test determines the presence or absence of HLA-B27 protein on the surface of a person's white blood cells.
Human leukocyte antigens are proteins that help the body's immune system identify its own cells and distinguish between "self" and "nonself." Everyone has an inherited combination of HLA genes that code for the many antigens present on the surfaces of their cells. The presence or absence of each antigen creates a distinctive HLA combination for each person.
HLA-B27 is found in about 6% of the U.S. population. People with HLA-B27 have an increased likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), reactive arthritis (of which one subset is Reiter syndrome), and isolated acute anterior uveitis. HLA-B27 has also been linked with inflammatory bowel disease and a range of other chronic conditions.
While HLA-B27 has not been established as a cause of any of these disorders, there is a higher prevalence of the antigen in those affected. For example, even though only 6% of the population has HLA-B27, approximately 88% of people with ankylosing spondylitis are positive for HLA-B27.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

RALEIGH — It took a Wake County jury a shade over 90 minutes to come back with a verdict for Kinston native Grant Ruffin Hayes III accused of killing his former girlfriend and mother of two of his children, Laura Ackerson: guilty of murder in the first degree.
As Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens read the jury's verdict, which was delivered to Hayes following a three-week trial, Hayes listened without any visible emotion. After dismissing the eight-woman, four-man jury, Stephens handed down his sentence.
"(The quick verdict) probably speaks louder than anything anyone could say about this case," Stephens said. "It is the judgment of this court that you be sentenced to the North Carolina Department of Correction for the period of your natural life without the benefit of parole."
Hayes, dressed in a white linen shirt, was then handcuffed, shackled and led from the courtroom, where he will begin serving his life sentence.
Hayes, a Kinston High School graduate and musician living in Raleigh, and Ackerson, also a Kinston resident, were embroiled in a contentious custody dispute over their two small children.
Hayes lured her to Raleigh on July 13, 2011, where he killed her and then — allegedly with the aid of his wife, Amanda Hayes — dismembered her body. The two then packed Ackerson's body parts into coolers and took them to Texas in a rented trailer, where they threw those parts into a creek on and near the property of Amanda Hayes' sister.
Outside the courtroom, Ackerson's father, Rodger Ackerson, admitted he was a "little" relieved by the quick verdict. He was in attendance every day of the trial in Courtroom 704 of the Wake County Justice Center.
He admitted it was tough to sit and listen to all the grisly details of what happened to his daughter.
"But it would have been even tougher if (the jury) had acquitted him," he said. "But they got the right verdict."
Wake County Assistant District Attorney Boz Zellinger was pleased with the verdict.
"Obviously, it's just a despicable, wretched crime, and we're pleased that the jury looked at all the evidence and saw the truth in what happened," Zellinger told Raleigh's WRAL CBS-5.
One of Hayes' attorneys, Jeff Cutler, admitted he was surprised at how quickly the jury returned its verdict.
"I am (surprised) a little bit," Cutler said, "but (the jury) had the weekend to sort through (the evidence). … If they hadn't had the weekend, it might have taken longer."
Hayes' other attorney, Will Durham, said his client will appeal the verdict.
"Mr. Hayes has always maintained his innocence and continues to maintain his innocence," Durham said. "He will continue seeking whatever relief he can get. We were disappointed with the verdict."
Next up for Wake County jurors is the trial of Amanda Hayes. Attorneys for the Hayes' decided to split up the trials for the husband and wife pair, with Grant Hayes' trial going first.
Rodger Ackerson said he'll be in attendance for her trial, too, and said he had his own thoughts about Amanda Hayes' guilt.
"In July of 2011, this man had his wife, three kids and a dead body in his apartment for three days," Ackerson said. "He did not call the police. What is usual about that? … They had to be acting in concert, acting with each other's permission.
"I don't want to predict what a jury is going to do, but at the same time, neither one of them called the police. Neither one of them said, 'Look at what he did' or 'Look at what she did.' "
Rodger Ackerson said although she's been dead more than two years, his daughter has not yet been buried.
"I'm going to go home and bury Laura," he said with emotion in his voice. "It's taken this long for us to get the body back from the medical examiner."

Want to learn some Groovy, but don't already know Java? This one's for you.
Run these examples inside a script. All code tested using Groovy v1.0.
If you already know Java, you can instead read "Closures for Java Programmers".
We can embed a sequence of statements inside "try", called a "block". Defined variables are only visible within that block, not outside:
Using the "def" keyword is optional because we are inside a script:
But variables without "def" are visible outside the block:
We can't define a variable (using "def") with the same name as another already visible (ie, another "in scope"):
We can nest blocks:
We can assign a sequence of statements to a variable, then execute it later. It's called a "closure":
The closure assigned to the variable (here, c) will remember its context (here, including a) even if that context is not in scope when the closure is called:
A closure always returns a value, the result of its last statement:
By putting a closure within another, we can create two instances of it:
Closure Parameters
We can put parameters at the beginning of a closure definition, and pass values in when we call the closure:
We can also pass information out using the parameters:
One parameter is always available, called "it", if no explicit parameters are named:
If parameters aren't specified, "it" will still be implicitly defined, but be null:
Parameters can't have the same name as another variable in scope, except for the implicit parameter 'it':
If there's already a variable called 'it' in scope, we can access it using owner.it:
We can pass one closure into another as a parameter:
There's a shortcut syntax when explicitly defining a closure within another closure call, where that closure is the last or only parameter:
We can enquire the number of parameters for a closure, both from inside and outside the closure:
Parameter Defaulting, Currying, and Number-Varying
A closure may have its last parameter/s assigned default value/s:
A closure can take a varying number of arguments by prefixing its last parameter with Object[], and accessing them using each. (Object[] is an example of a 'type', to be explained in another lesson on Typing in Groovy.)
We can also prefix the last parameter of a closure with Closure[] to pass in a varying number of other closures, even using the shortcut syntax:
A closure may be copied with its first parameter/s fixed to a constant value/s, using curry:
In closures, we can use currying and parameter-count-varying together:
We can make closures recursive:
A function is similar to a closure, though a function can't access defined variables in its surrounding context:
The def keyword is compulsory when defining functions:
We use a special syntax to assign a function to another variable when using the original definition name:
Unlike blocks and closures, we can't nest functions:
Function Parameters
A function can have parameters, with which we can pass information both in and out:
We can have more than one function of the same name if they each have different numbers of (untyped) parameters. (If we use different 'types' of parameters, we can often have more than one function of the same name and same number of parameters. To be explained in another lesson on Groovy Typing.)
A function returns a value, unless prefixed by void instead of def, when it always returns null:
Some Similarities with Closures
We can use the shortcut invocation syntax for closure parameters:
A function may have its last parameter/s assigned default value/s:
A function can take a varying number of arguments by prefixing its last argument by Object[], and accessing them using each:
We can call a function recursively by referencing its own name:

Customer Raves & Reviews
Large Magnet
I would really recommend this magnets were beautiful starting by the packaging and how beautifully crafted they are! We got them in time! Everything we expected!
Just what I wanted!
This save the date was just what I wanted! I ordered a sample to make sure the design was exactly what I wanted and indeed, it was the perfect fit for our travel themed wedding. I would highly recommend this save the date magnet.
I love these save the date magnets
My coordinator picked these and ordered them for us. I love them. All my guests have raved about them. We did have to request that we get them printed over because the picture had too much of a reddish hue (my coordinator thought, I loved them as they were) but there was absolutely no issue with that request. I would definitely recommend that people order from them. It is rare to find a company that truly backs their products and services and care that the customer is ecstatic about what they receive. we also customized them a bit and added an extra line about the formal invitation to follow. Exactly what I envisioned.
Perfect Save The Date!
I absolutely LOVE these save the dates. I wanted something easy and simple, but something that would also make a good first impression for our upcoming destination wedding. These magnets hit on all cylinders. The photograph that we used is clear and takes up a little more than half of the magnet. I have received compliments on them from just about all of our guests. And the ordering process couldn't have been easier. They even came earlier than expected.
Functional and pretty
We love our Save the Date magnet! Everyone was so impressed with how great it turned out, but we really have to thank Magnet Street for the easy-to-edit template and personalization options to make it our own. We are having a destination wedding, so the Love Airways design is perfect for us!

According to a new study conducted by the UK's largest Angel Network, as many as half of UK start-up businesses have tried and subsequently failed to secure substantial financial investment from a traditional source, such as bank loans or by selling shares.
13 August 2014
It has been revealed that, while traditional forms of investment focus on the financial offering, two thirds of small business owners are actually seeking business expertise as much as money. Furthermore, over half believe that there is not enough business mentoring available, and a quarter of those who have received funding have been turned away when asking their lender for advice.
Investing in any business involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio.

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine students and faculty, along with Millcreek Community Hospital residents and other regional participants, displayed the results of myriad research endeavors Thursday, Oct. 23, during the school's Research Day event.
|Students gather in the LECOM atrium to view poster presentations during the Research Day event at the school.
The event included a morning poster presentation in the school's atrium, where onlookers learned about the results of the presenters' research endeavors. During the afternoon, presenters delivered lectures about their research, and a panel of jurors awarded prizes to the top researchers.
Richard Lukose, a third-year medical student at LECOM, earned first prize in the poster presentation for his poster, "Neuronal morphology of the superior olivary complex in the rodent model of autism." Second prize went to first-year medical student Elizabeth J. Gannon, and third prize was awarded to second-year medical student Holli Martinez.
During the lecture session, fourth-year medical student Gens Goodman took top honors for his project, titled "Incidence and Epidemiology of Combat Injuries Sustained During "The Surge" Portion of Operation Iraqi Freedom by a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team." Second prize went to first-year medical student Michael J. Tranovich, and third prize went to fourth-year student Jennifer L. Chan.

As I continue my foraging across the Île-de-France in search of free fruit, which so far has included wild plums and elderberries, I finally chanced upon medlars.
One of the goofiest fruits I've ever come across, they're a member of the rose family and are prepared similar to rose hips, or backside-scratchers, which doesn't make me want to eat them. And my trusty fruit-searching sidekick made a snide remark about their bilious taste.

There has never been a better time to get your employees out of the office. Hosting an off-site meeting has the potential to add great value to a business by inspiring employees and offering them a chance to think outside of the conference room. Destination meetings promote a more engaging environment that fosters teamwork and creates more productive employees.
At Harbourtowne we customize meeting packages to fit you, your business, and your budget. We replace the typical meeting, add to it with teambuilding activities and create a shared experience that extends beyond the meeting room. We boast waterfront venues for outdoor events as well as two meeting rooms that overlook the Bay. Continental breakfast is offered daily as well as lunch and dinner buffets and continuous break service. We also offer a variety of teambuilding vendors with whom we partner with to tailor event activities to meet your specific business needs.
The idea is to provide hands on activities to improve the effectiveness of your team. Destination Paradise is one of our partner vendors who coordinated a soapbox derby build with World Bank here at Harbourtowne. It was interactive and fun for all participants.
Gooseworks Consulting is another partner who offers team and organizational development services. They held a cardboard boat building exercise with another bank group at Harbourtowne. Whatever your unique business needs, leave it to our partners to stage the perfect activities and bring your meetings back to life.
Let us help get your office be inspired! Request Harbourtowne for your next meeting today!

PEMBROKE — The ongoing controversy over the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins doesn't provoke much anger in Robeson County, despite its population that is about 40 percent Lumbee Indian.
Instead of outrage, many interviewed for this story expressed their support for the team, calling themselves fans.
For decades, it has been argued by certain American Indian groups, civil rights organizations and even lawmakers that the name Redskins should be changed. Some Indian groups say the term is racist, a derogatory epithet that perpetuates stereotypes that demean American Indians.
Others, however, see the use of American Indian terms as a way of honoring the achievements and virtues of American Indians.The name Redskins, they say, is not being used in a negative manner.
The owners of the NFL franchise, now Dan Synder, have stood firm against a name change. Snyder has said he would never change the name, and Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, says the league office would not force a change.
The controversy made national headlines earlier this year after a symposium on Indian team names was held at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Since the February event, several members of the U.S. Congress have publicly urged that Redskins no longer be used.
Robeson County Commissioner Raymond Cummings, an avid Redskins fan, said that he isn't offended by the team's name.
"The term Redskin doesn't bother me as long as it's used in good taste," he said.
County Manager Ricky Harris, like Cummings an American Indian, feels the same way.
"I have no problem with it," Harris said. "I can't say anything against the Redskins anyway. My father was a big fan."
A national poll by the Associated Press found that about 80 percent of Americans don't have a problem with the name, but Stan Knick, director of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke's Native American Resource Center and a teacher in the university's American Indian Studies Department, said the minority should not be ignored.
"If we are going to have a team Redskins why not have one called the Whiteys or the Darkies?" he said. "That's troubling to me. It's all stereotyping."
Knick said that several years ago, when local residents were surveyed to see if they objected to UNCP's nickname, Braves, the majority did not want to see it changed. He said that the university was recognized as a traditionally American Indian school and the name was an important part of the community's heritage and culture.
"The overwhelming opinion was to keep the name," Knick said. "It's part of the history of the community."
But Knick insists that the voice of those who desire a change of name for the Redskins should at least have their concerns considered.
"Even if there are only two or three in a group of 10 opposing an issue, the minority should be listened to," he said. "Just because a majority rules does not mean that the minority should not be heard."
In 2012, there was controversy of the name of the school's mascot, a red-tailed hawk that was called Tommy, making him known as Tommy Hawk.
Jimmy Goins, a former chairman of the Lumbee Tribe, said that he is "proud" that UNCP kept the nickname Braves because of the university's historic and cultural significance to American Indians, bu he does not support the use of Redskins by the Washington team.
"It really doesn't bother me, but if I had the chance to vote I would vote in favor of the name being changed. It can be offensive to some," he said. "Still, I've been a big fan of the Redskins for a long time."
Sherlina Godwin, who is a candidate for the Lumbee Tribal Council election that is scheduled for Nov. 12, is one who feels the name Redskins is derogatory and degrading.
"The name should definitely be changed," she said.
Brieana McCorkle, a student at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, didn't think the name is a big deal.
"I've never seen it as offensive," she said. "If anything, it gives us a reason to watch football. You have the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves. It gives us more recognition."
Dalton Townsend, also a UNCP student, felt the same way.
"To some it may be [offensive]," he said. "It depends on the person. Respect has different meanings to everybody. Personally, it doesn't bother me."
What some Redskins fans might find offensive, however, is the play of the team this year. The team is 0-2 going into Sunday's home game against Detroit.

I went into the doctor the other day for a routine checkup.
After filling out the proverbial million forms, they called me back and what do you think they did? That's right, they took my blood pressure, checked my pulse rate and then my temperature. All routine items that give them an overview of what is going on.
Now, suppose my heart was jumping out of my chest and my blood pressure was off the charts — what do you think a doctor would do? I hope they would start working on getting my blood pressure down — not running a bunch of other tests saying, "We'll get to your blood pressure later."
That got me thinking, what is the pulse (or blood pressure) of a business and more specifically, your business?
You may have heard the five-dial analogy in an airplane. There are several dozen dials in the cockpit and we wonder how a pilot can keep up with all of them. If the first five dials (the most important ones) are fine, then the plane should be fine. If one of the dials is off, then there are other metrics to explain why. So then the pilot starts to pay attention to other indicators.
Seems simple, and something that could be applied in any business.
So what is the pulse in your business? If you are not sure, consider the following:
- Cash — cash is king in any business. How does your cash position look as well as your access to cash if you get in a pinch? Credit cards don't count. Are you aware when your cash gap will occur in advance?
- Receivables — who owes you money and how long have they owed it to you? The older it gets, the harder it is to collect.
- Inventory — is your inventory going up, down, staying the same or are you not sure? Keeping inventory lean frees up cash for other activities.
- Hours — how many hours are you putting in? Keep track of where your time is going so that you are doing things that bring you wealth (both financial and personal).
If these ideas don't fit, then come up with one or two that will let you know you and the business are healthy.
Action Tip of the Day — Engage
People like to talk about themselves. They like it when people are interested in what they have to say. They also have no idea how your product or service works and in many cases, don't care. They just want it to solve their problem.
So, when you sit down with a prospect, who is doing the most talking? Here are a few tips to tell if you are talking too much:
- Bring two cups of coffee—if you drink your coffee cold, you are talking too much.
- Go to lunch—if you finish eating after your prospect, then you are talking too much
- Eyes — if their eyes glaze over and they start smiling and nodding, you are talking too much
The crucial key is to ask good questions and engage. Find a way to solve their problem with what you are offering.
Go take action on this today and then go run a lap. Business is fun.

François Corteggiani is one of the most prominent present-day comics writers. Writing in nearly every genre, Corteggiani can be compared to Charlier for his adventure stories, and to Goscinny for his gags. Although mainly a writer, Corteggiani started his career as an artist. After getting his degree, he worked as an advertising artist for a while and made his debut in comics in 1974. He started out illustrating more than 1000 pages for S.E.P.P., as well as 'Mucheroum' in Spirou. For Pif Gadget, he drew 'Pif le Chien' for a while along with Michel Motti. While continuing drawing his own series for Pif Gadget, he focused more and more on scriptwriting.
Artwork by Marc Malès
After several stories in Pif Gadget with such artists as François Dimberton, Louis Cance and Yannick, Corteggiani launched the 'Chafouin et Baluchon' series with artist Pierre Tranchand in Djin. Corteggiani and Tranchand continued their cooperation and together they created numerous series, like 'Bastos et Zouky', 'Marine', 'Smith et Wesson' and 'L'Ecole Abracadabra'. Another artist Corteggiani worked with a lot from the late 1970s, was Giorgio Cavazzano. Together, they took over 'Peter O'Pencil' ('Silas Finn'), and started series like 'Capitan Rogers' and 'Timothée Titan'. François Corteggiani created more humorous series with Philippe Bercovici: 'Robinson et Zoé', 'Testar le Robot', 'Grand Panic Circus' and many more.
Artwork by Colin Wilson
In the mid-1980s, François Corteggiani proved to be a talented writer in the realistic genre as well in the magazine Vécu. Throughout the late 1980s, he created comics such as 'De Silence et de Sang' (with Marc Malès), 'Le Casque et la Fronde' (with Walther Fahrer), 'Francis Falko' (with Victor de la Fuente), 'L'Archer Blanc' (with Jean-Yves Mitton), 'Crin Blanc' (with Michel Faure). With Georges Ramaïoli, he took on the cyclus 'L'Horus de Nékhen' in 1989 at Soleil Productions. At the same publisher, he continued the 'Kostar le Magnifique' series, which was previously drawn by Bercovici, but now continued by Alain Sirvent. After the death of Jean-Michel Charlier, Corteggiani took over the writing of 'La Jeunesse de Blueberry', drawn by Colin Wilson. Again with Wilson, he started 'Thunderhawks' for Strip Art Features.
In the 1990s followed new series like 'Saïto', 'Le Bossu' (both with Norma), 'Sundance', 'Sécession' (with Michel Suro and Rachid Nawa) and 'Yakusa' (with Emmanuel Barison). He was also active on the Italian market with several short stories for Playboy, Topolino and Il Giornalino. In France, he continued working for Le Journal de Mickey (several gags with Tranchand), while starting new series like 'Tatiana K.' (with Félix Meynet) and continuing old ones like 'De Silence et de Sang' (this time with Emmanuel Barison). In 2004, he became editor-in-chief of the relaunched Pif Gadget magazine.

|Halloween Tips from All Children's Hospital
On a potentially dangerous night of the year for child pedestrians, the Suncoast Safe Kids Coalition at All Children's Hospital urges parents to prepare children to act safely and motorists to take extra precautions. On average, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween compared to other days of the year.
"Kids need proper safety instruction before they go out trick-or-treating," says Safe Kids Coordinator Jean Shoemaker of All Children's Hospital. "Many kids will be out trick-or-treating while it is dark and thus more difficult for drivers to see them. There are several simple and effective behaviors that parents can share with kids to help reduce their risk or injury. For example, children younger than age 10 should not be alone crossing streets on this night without an adult. If older kids are mature enough to go trick-or-treating without adult supervision, parents should make sure they go in a group and stick to a predetermined route with good lighting."
Drivers need to be extra alert as there will be more children on the streets. Motorists are urged to slow down on neighborhood roads to make Halloween more enjoyable for everyone, but also to help save lives.

Ibizan Hound
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Ibizan Hound is a member of the Sighthound or Hound Group.
male: 50 lb.; female: 45 lb.
Male: 23.5-27.5 inches; female: 22.5-26 inches
This breed may be white or red, from light yellowish red to deep red, lion and white, solid or a combination.
The Ibizan Hound sports a coat that may be one of three varieties: smooth-haired, long-haired or wire-haired. This coat lies close to the skin.
This hardy breed is athletic and loyal. The polite and protective Ibizan Hound has an independent mind.
Country of Origin:
Island of Ibiza (Balearic Islands), Spain
During ancient times, the forerunners of the Ibizan Hound may have arrived on the Island of Ibiza with Phoenician sea traders. Spanish hunters ran the dogs in packs for hunting rabbits on all terrain. These hounds were also nocturnal hunters with their keen sight. On this secluded island 90 kms from the east coast of Spain, this breed experienced little cross-breeding.
Named after the island of Ibiza. Also known as Podenco Ibicenco, Galgo, Balearic Dog, Ibizan Warren Hound, Ca Eivissenc.
This mild-mannered and sensitive breed can bark when chasing.
Training should ensure this hound is well-socialized. As a young dog it should be introduced to other cats. This independent dog may be wilful. Be aware that the Ibizan Hound may be easily bored.
This breed enjoys plenty of exercise with at least one good run a day. Let your dog stretch out at full speed. Do not unleash. Long walks and jogs on a leash are other activities. The Ibizan Hound also enjoys jumping, retrieving, lure coursing and hunting rabbits.
Owners need to provide a large yard and a high enclosure to prevent this dog from jumping fences. With its independent mind, this hound will run away and not return. Be aware of the difficulty of recapturing this dog. Indoors this dog is moderately active and good with children. Exercise caution with other small pets. With its history of hunting, the Ibizan Hound may chase and kill unfamiliar cats. This chase instinct and fearlessness in traffic may have tragic results.
No breeders listed at this time.

#6 Women's Lacrosse Suffers First Loss of 2013 with 11-7 Defeat at #3 Limestone
April 6, 2013
GAFFNEY, S.C. - A pair of 4-0 goal-scoring spurt by Limestone College last in the first half propelled the third-ranked Saints past #6 Pfeiffer University 11-7 in Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Saints move to 12-1 overall, 5-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons suffer their first loss of the season dropping to 12-1, 4-1.
A pair of early goals by Limestone put Pfeiffer in an early hole until Shannon Bonnel and Carly Garrison each scored 61 seconds apart to tie the contest at two. From there, the Saints would tally the final three goals of the first half to take a 5-2 lead into the break.
After Limestone made it 6-2 just minutes into the second, Carly Garrison got the Lady Falcons back on the board just two minutes later to cut the lead in half at 6-3. Kristina Anderson would eventually score at the 17:03 mark of the second for a 7-4 contest until Limestone tallied four-in-a-row bolting out to an 11-4 lead late in the half. Pfeiffer would try to get back in it with two more Garrison goals and a final strike by Katherine Athens would provide the 11-7 final score as the Lady Falcons rally ran out of time.
Garrison would record four of the Lady Falcons seven goals on Saturday while Bonnel had a team-high five groundballs. Pfeiffer came up empty in free-position shots going 0-for-4 on the afternoon.
Pfeiffer returns home next Saturday at 12:00 p.m. to face Queens in the final conference matchup of the regular season. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

TROY — With his trim, athletic frame, his impeccable style of dress and his slicked-back hair, Troy High School basketball coach Randy Clemens bore a striking resemblance to Pat Riley, the preeminent National Basketball Association coach of the time.
And the comparison seemed fitting, considering Clemens had brought a version of the Lakers' "Showtime" to small-town Troy, Ohio. It was the winter of 1984 and — after years of suffering on the basketball court — a once-moribund program was alive and well. The Trojans had gone 1-21 Clemens' first year in 1981-82,but that in no way could portend the success the Trojans were about to achieve.
His second year with the program, the Trojans went 7-14 — but did manage to snap a program-record 25-game losing streak and put together a five-game winning streak, the school's longest since 1968. All that did, however, was set the table for a remarkable run the following season — Clemens' third with the program — that saw the Trojans win a school-record 21 games and make its first run to a district championship game in four decades.
The early 1980s produced a pair of touchstone moments for the Troy High School athletic program. The first was the hiring of Clemens, who would help breathe life into a program that had — for better or worse — always taken a back seat to the football program, which had been — under most circumstances — the crown jewel of Troy sports in the football-mad state of Ohio.
And while in the midst of the basketball team's historic run in the winter of 1984, Troy High School also was putting the finishing touches on the hiring of football coach Steve Nolan from Conneaut High School in Northeast Ohio. Like Clemens, Nolan would be charged with reviving a team, one that had gone 0-10 in 1983 — a mark that was simply unacceptable by Troy standards.
Both coaches would produce immediate results on the field and court. Clemens would take the Trojans to the district finals in his third year, while Nolan would take the football team to the Division I state semifinals — where it would lose to nationally-ranked Cincinnati Moeller — in his second year.
Nolan would end up staying at Troy for 28 years, become the winningest coach in program history and, upon his retirement in 2011, have a day proclaimed in his honor by Troy Mayor Michael Beamish. He's still a revered figure by many around Troy.
Clemens, meanwhile, would stay at Troy for a total of four years — he would leave the program one year after that historic run in 1984 — and his current whereabouts are unknown, even by those in Troy who were closest to him.
In 1984, no one could possibly have predicted what career paths the two coaches were going to take.
And on Jan. 20, 1984, no one could possibly have predicted what would happen when Clemens' Troy team took on Vandalia-Butler — coached by Ray Zawadzki, Clemens' former high school coach — in the Troy High School gymnasium.
• "They should have made 'em pay an extra buck and a half"
By all rights, it should have been a blowout.
On that night in 1984, Butler seemingly had no business being on the same floor as the Trojans. Troy came into the game atop the now-defunct Greater Miami Valley Conference at 11-1 (8-1 in the GMVC). Butler came in at 6-8 (5-5 in the GMVC).
Despite the fact a blowout seemed imminent, however, the gym was packed to the rafters. At one point, the local fire marshal announced the gym had reached its capacity and no more spectators would be allowed into the building.
That winter, folks around Troy were hungry for a winner after watching unfamiliar sub-par products both on the football field and basketball court. They longed for the glory days of the seemingly forgotten early 1970s, when Troy's football teams went 20-0 over a two-year span and everything the school touched seemed to turn to gold on the athletic field.
Every game in Troy's cramped gymnasium turned into a sellout.
"It had been a long, long time since people had cared about basketball in Troy," said Aaron Johnson, a sophomore on that team. "I think the community really rallied around that team. The gym was packed all the time, for every game we played. But that night, it seemed like something special was going on. It was even more packed than usual. You couldn't get a seat anywhere in the gym."
That night, the fans who had shoehorned their way into the gym would certainly get their money's worth — in fact, Zawadzki would point out immediately after the game that they probably got more than their money's worth.
After ending regulation in a 43-43 tie, the two teams would go on to play eight overtimes before a winner was determined.
Yes, eight overtimes.
After 32 bruising minutes, the Trojans and Aviators would go on to play an additional 24 minutes of basketball — a mark that is the second-longest in Ohio High School Athletic Association history, behind only the nine-overtime game played by St. Clairsville and Martins Ferry on Jan. 5, 1963.
"They should have gotten everyone when they walked out of here," Zawadzki told the Troy Daily News immediately following the game. "They should have made 'em pay an extra buck and a half."
In a sign of just how much things have changed since then, a ticket to see Troy play Butler in 2014 would cost a fan $6.
"Hey, in 1969 and 1970, if you wanted to go see tournament games at Hobart Arena, you had to pay 50 cents for an adult ticket and 25 cents for a student ticket," Zawadzki said. "The games would run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and they would give you a pass in between if you wanted to go out and get something to eat."
• The First Overtime
Maybe they should have charged fans twice.
After the game ended in a 43-43 after regulation, the two teams went into overtime.
The Aviators would go up 47-45 with 19 seconds left to play in the first overtime, but Troy's Don Steineman would answer with 10 seconds left to tie the game at 47. Butler's Tony Mahan missed from the right corner at the buzzer, sending the game into a second overtime …
Clemens and Zawadzki certainly were no strangers. Clemens had played for Zawadzki at Butler, where he had been a stellar athlete. Once he graduated, however, the two went their separate ways — both geographically and philosophically. "Coach Z" would remain at Butler for decades, becoming one of the winningest coaches in Ohio high school basketball history. He's passed that legacy on to his son, Ray Jr., and his grandson, Grant. Last season, with Ray Zawadzki Jr. coaching and Grant playing, Troy Christian advanced to the Division IV state semifinals.
The elder Zawadzki was known for his stoicism on the sidelines, a coaching general clad in all black clothing, known far and wide for his ability to outcoach teams with superior athleticism. He valued hard work, getting the most out of the least and winning basketball games with a quiet dignity.
"My coaching philosophy has always been that we never talk about wins and losses," Zawadzki said. "It was always, did you give me your best effort? Troy was in first place (in the now-defunct Greater Miami Valley Conference) at the time and we were in fourth or fifth place. We were a 50-50 team. After the game I went around and shook every one of my players' hands and thanked them for the effort they had given in that game. While the outcome wasn't what we wanted, I knew the effort they gave that night would get them farther in life than whether or not they won the game."
Clemens, meanwhile, took a different approach. He was a fiery competitor who was tough in practice and loud on the sidelines. He had a way of pushing his players to their individual breaking points — and then demanding a little more.
"He knew his stuff," Johnson said. "We felt confident that whatever he told us was the right thing to do. He knew how to motivate a player. He was definitely a hard-nosed type of guy. I remember one time when I was a freshman, he let me practice with the varsity. I took an elbow right in the nose and got busted open. He just looked at me and said, 'Don't bleed on my court.' That's just the way he was — he was all about business. Some people didn't like that — but I think most of the players, but certainly not all of them, loved him for it.
"He had a definite arrogance about him. But I think the team takes on the persona of the coach. That's how we were. We definitely played with an arrogance about us and I think it worked for us."
• The Second Overtime
In the second overtime, Johnson put the Trojans up 48-47 on the front end of a one-and-one. With 59 seconds to play, Troy's Stephen Lucas misfires on a jump shot and Butler's Jeff Geise grabs the rebound and is later fouled. He hits one of his two free throws with 11 seconds left to play. Lucas' 23-foot jumper misses at the buzzer, sending the game into a second overtime …
While Randy Clemens was just starting his coaching career, his younger brother, Roger, was just starting to make his name as a baseball player. Later that same year, he would make his Major League debut with the Boston Red Sox, beginning a career that would see him win two World Series, seven Cy Young Awards and be named to Major League Baseball's All-Star game 11 times.
Like his older brother, Roger Clemens was born in Dayton and spent part of his youth in Vandalia. The Clemens brothers' parents had separated when Roger was an infant and his stepfather, Woody Booher, passed away when Roger was only nine years old. Randy, acting as Roger's father figure, helped move Roger to Texas in 1977, where he would attend high school and eventually pitch for the University of Texas.
Before leaving for spring training in 1984, Roger Clemens would spend some time around his brother's basketball team. At that young age, he already was showing signs of being as fiery — and sometimes controversial — as his older brother.
"He came in around Christmas time and would practice with us," Johnson said. "I remember one time — I'm pretty sure it was the Fairmont Holiday Tournament — he actually got thrown out of the gym for arguing with the refs. The police had to escort him out of the gym. I also remember he was dating a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader at the time — it's funny the things you remember as a kid."
• The Third Overtime
Steineman puts the Trojans up 52-50 on a shot in the lane with 12 seconds left to play. Butler misses a shot with four second left on the clock, but the rebound slips into the hands of Geise, who hits a shot to tie the game at 52 as the horn sounds to end the third overtime …
Steineman's brother, Dick, was an assistant coach for the Trojans and watching the drama unfold from the sidelines. If Clemens and Zawadzki were as different as chocolate and vanilla, Dick Steineman and Randy Clemens were as different as ice cream and lobster claws.
After a standout career at Troy that preceded his younger brother's career, the 6-foot-9 Steineman would go on to play at Ashland University and then professionally in Argentina. While playing abroad, Steineman sees the poverty all around him. It has a profound impact on him. He would go on to spend his entire adult life helping those in need. The soft-spoken Steineman has spent the past decade running the local soup kitchen and homeless shelter in Troy.
"After playing for Coach Steineman as a freshman, it was definitely a big change going to Coach Clemens," Johnson said. "Coach Steineman was very nurturing. He didn't yell a whole lot. When I got to the varsity team as a sophomore it was … well, it was a lot different."
Despite their differences off the court, Steineman and Clemens are able to make things work on the court.
"He definitely did things the way he wanted — and if you didn't like it, that was too bad," Steineman said. "But he knew his basketball. He really turned the program around. He put in a lot of work. He ran all the summer leagues and did all the work with the youth program to make sure everyone was on the same page.
"As long as he was able to keep things under control off the court; he knew his stuff on the court. We beat (area power) Trotwood three times that season — which is pretty much unheard of. We were playing really, really well."
Steineman said that while Clemens may have been a taskmaster as a coach, many of his players looked up to him for it.
"He definitely produced some successful kids off the court, as well," Steineman said. "He taught a lot of kids about time management and the ability to focus on finishing a project. If you can teach a kid to focus on finishing a project on the court, they learn to finish other projects in their lives."
• The Fourth Overtime
Darrin Lewis breaks free with 25 seconds left to give the Trojans a 54-52 lead. But once again, Butler's Geise is in the right place at the right time to grab a rebound and hit another putback as the buzzer sounds to end the fourth overtime …
While the Trojans are winning games on the court, the cracks are beginning to show in Clemens' coaching tenure. In the sleepy town of Troy, there are many who do not appreciate his coaching style. There also are rumors beginning to circulate about unsavory off-the-court activities in his free time.
Opinions around town of Clemens most certainly are not mixed — most view him either as a scoundrel or a saint; few have opinions that fall anywhere in between.
Lucas — a senior and the unquestioned leader of the team — most certainly views him as the latter.
Following his playing days at Troy, Lucas would go on to play at Western Wyoming Community College and then at Marycrest College, an NAIA school in Davenport, Iowa. He would remain in touch with Clemens for years after he graduated, frequently calling upon him for advice.
"What made us unique was we were a group of kids who grew up together playing basketball," Lucas said. "We were always playing basketball together in the summertime. We trained together; we played together. With Randy, he kind of threw out the rulebook. It didn't matter if you were a freshman or a sophomore — the best kids were going to play. And we were OK with that. We were like a family.
"He was the No. 1 guy, there was no doubt about that. You were going to do it his way. And as a player, I admired that. I would have to say I felt like he cared for his players. He went to bat for us."
• The Fifth Overtime
As it had the previous three overtimes, Troy grabs the tip and plays for the final shot. Johnson has a chance to win the game when he is fouled with 42 seconds left to play, but misses a free throw. Butler's Matt Pohl has a chance to win the game with 11 seconds left, but he, too, misses a free throw. Butler's Tim Gatzulis grabs the rebound after a mad scramble and nails a 30-foot shot, but it is ruled the shot came after the buzzer had sounded and the two teams are headed into a sixth overtime …
After graduating from college and earning his masters in business administration from Wright State University, Lucas would eventually return to Troy and become high-level business executive and community leader. He currently serves as Hartzell's Vice President of Human Resources, leads the board of directors for the Lincoln Community Center and is a long-time member of the Troy Board of Education.
He credits Clemens for much of his success.
"He had a huge impact on my life," Lucas said.
Clemens tenure in Troy isn't quite as decorated, or as lengthy. He would be dismissed as coach following a 13-8 record in 1985. Most agree his departure had nothing to do with Troy's performance on the court.
"He won 39 games his final two years," Steineman said. "I think with Randy, it had a lot more to do with his life off the court."
Several witnesses point to a practice session in 1985 as the final straw. According to reports, Clemens was ready to start practice, but the Troy girls' practice that preceded his was running late. When he walked into the gym and saw the girls team still on the floor, he allegedly went on a profanity-laced tirade that was heard by everyone in the gym at the time.
With little fanfare, Clemens would leave Troy following the 1985 season.
"As an 18-year-old kid, I didn't really know what was going on behind the scenes," Lucas said. "When they made the decision to let him go, I didn't really know why. I think it's fair to say that his players loved him — but there were a lot of people in the community who did not."
• The Sixth Overtime
With less than a minute to play, Troy sets up a shot for Rickey Godsey, but his shot falls just short, sending the game into a seventh overtime with both teams deadlocked at 54 …
During the sixth overtime, tragedy strikes.
Former Troy Board of Education President Dr. Stanley C. Vorpe — sitting in the stands behind the Troy bench — collapses with 1:37 to play in the period. According to Troy Daily News reports, the optometrist was immediately attended to by Dr. Peter Nims, M.D. and paramedics at the game. He was transported to Stouder Memorial Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Richard H. Burk, M.D.
Vorpe — who had served as board president for 14 years — slipped into a coma following a cerebral hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. He passed away Jan. 28, a little more than a week after the game.
"It was a real tragedy," Zawadzki said. "What a horrible thing to happen at a basketball game."
• The Seventh Overtime
Finally, Butler appears to have the game won when Mahan is fouled and hits a pair of free throws with two seconds left to put the Aviators up 58-56. Lewis takes the ball out of bounds underneath the Trojan basket and heaves it down the floor to Steineman, who hauls it in near the top of the key and puts up a shot at the buzzer to send the game into an improbable eighth — and final — overtime …
The only thing Johnson can think of to compare Lewis' pass to Steineman was when Duke's Bobby Hurley threw a court-length pass to Christian Laettner and Laettner sank the shot to beat Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Regional Championship game, sending the Blue Devils on to the Final Four and an eventual national championship.
"It was like when Duke threw the three-quarter of the court pass to beat Kentucky," Johnson said. "Darrin Lewis threw a perfect pass to Steineman and he put it in the basket to send it into the final overtime. It was an incredible play."
Like his older brother, Don Steineman had a history of making incredible plays during his time at Troy. If Lucas was the unquestioned leader of the team, Steineman was the team's enforcer. At 6-foot-6 and 230-pounds, he struck an imposing figure on the floor.
"He was (darn) good," Johnson said. "He was 6-foot-6; he could handle the ball. He could shoot the jumper; he could post up. He was a very skilled basketball player."
Following his career at Troy, Steineman would go on to play at St. Joseph's College in Renesselar, Ind.
"He was a rough, tough kid," Dick Steineman said. "A lot of people don't know this, but he was also a great baseball player. Because he was so big, nobody wanted to face him as a pitcher. He threw hard and — as tall as he was — he was halfway off the mound before the ball came out of his hand. At St. Joseph's, they asked him to come out for the baseball team his junior year. He was even asked to try out for the Cincinnati Reds."
Following his graduation from St. Joseph's, Steineman would return to Troy. On Dec. 6, 2003, he would pass away at the age of 37 after a year-long battle with leukemia, leaving behind a wife and two young daughters.
• The Eighth Overtime
Steineman controls the tip to start the eighth overtime, getting the ball to teammate Carl Foster, whose son Marcus currently is a football player at the University of Cincinnati. Foster gets the ball back to Steineman, who scores to put the Trojans up 60-58 with 1:19 left to play. Butler's Mahan puts up a shot with 15 seconds left, but it misses and Steineman grabs the rebound. He gets the ball to Foster, who then passes to a streaking Godsey, who lays in the shot to give the Trojans the 62-58 victory. Finally, the game is over …
The story isn't over for Clemens, however.
Following his dismissal from Troy, things get a little fuzzy.
According to the book "The Rocket That Fell to Earth," the unauthorized biography of Roger Clemens written by Sports Illustrated's Jeff Pearlman, Clemens bounced around from Troy to Houston to Katy, Texas to Georgetown, Texas. According to the book, Clemens became involved in drugs. In 1999, his wife Kathy Huston Clemens — a former Troy City Schools teacher — was killed in a drug-related shooting incident at her home in Texas in 1999.
In the book, Pearlman details how Roger — who was extremely close to his sister-in-law — allegedly blamed his brother for her death and the two currently are estranged.
Clemens' current whereabouts are unknown, although he is believed to be living in the Houston area.
Zawadzki said he hasn't kept in contact with his former player.
"The only contact I had with him after that wasn't face-to-face," Zawadzki said. "When I had my bypass surgery, Randy's wife's sister was one of my nurses. She told me about her sister getting killed. That was really the only discussion I ever had about Randy.
"I thought when he played for me, he was fine. I had no problems with him. As a matter of fact, we worked together on ball diamonds for the city. I think a lot of times, once a player goes away to college, they grow up and I don't always fit back into their lives."
Lucas said he tried to track his former mentor down nearly a decade ago, but only found dead ends.
"I travel around the country a lot for business and one time when I went to Houston, I tried to look him up," he said. "I knew he had had some troubles and I wanted to see how he was doing. I was never able to catch up with him."

Q:Can I wash my hair while using my bath bomb ?Asked on 5/22/2015 by Lyss from Portsmouth, OH
1 answer
A:Our bath bombs are not recommended to be used as a shampoo because of the citric acid and the sodium bicarbonate contained in them. They are only meant to be used in baths, and would not provide enough moisture to be used as a shampoo otherwise.Answered on 5/27/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Can I crush it and only sprinkle in half per bath?Asked on 10/29/2012 by Luving Dad
1 answer
A:The bath bombs are intended for one use, as their size and scent concentration is designed to be the perfect amount for one bath. This being said, you can absolutely use half of the bomb, it just likely won't look as great or smell as strong as it would with a full one.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Are these products safe to use with a septic systemAsked on 2/15/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Yes, the Blackberry should be fine to use in a septic system, as the ingredients are biodegradable. Watch out for bath bombs containing glitter in the ingredients list though, as these should be avoided.Answered on 2/21/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Today's Interviews:
Senior Staff Attorney
Electronic Frontier Foundation
Earlier this week, lawsuits prompted the Justice Department to release more documents on the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. David Greene is a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It's one of the groups that sued for the documents' release.
Former Operative
A dozen years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the threat of another massive attack has receded. National security experts worry more about lone wolves, or the less-coordinated but still deadly jihadist group. In a new report, the Bipartisan Policy Center argues we are not as safe as we should be from terrorism. For one thing, the national security apparatus answers to too many bosses. Former CIA operative Mike Hurley co-authored that report.
General Counsel and Senior Vice President for Intellectual Property
Software and Information Industry Association
The IRS' inspector general says the agency has been lax in managing its software licenses. Sometimes it's using more copies than it has the licenses for. Other times, it runs fewer and throws money down the drain. Nearly every agency runs that risk. Keith Kupferschmid is general counsel and senior vice president for intellectual property at the Software and Information Industry Association. He discusses best practices for managing software licenses.
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The General Services Administration is getting out of the human resources and payroll shared service provider business. The decision comes as the Obama administration is applying more pressure on agencies to share resources. Federal News Radio's Executive Editor Jason Miller has details on GSA's decision and what it means for the shared services initiative.
Special Adviser for Youth Engagement
State Department
Federal News Radio has been taking a look at the federal employees nominated for the annual Service to America Medal. It's a prestigious career-achievement award. In today's Sammies segment, this federal employee led an initiative to engage young leaders from the Middle East and Africa to learn about American Democracy. Andrew Rabens is the special adviser for youth engagement at the State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs.

Chief Information Security Officer
RSA Security Division of EMC
Edward Snowden has become famous for leaking secret documents about NSA surveillance. He may have chutzpah but he also has good cyber chops. Officials now know he was able to cover his tracks by manipulating or deleting network logs. Logs may be obscure to most people, but they are teeming with information about what's going on. With advice on how to manage logs is Eddie Schwartz, chief information security officer at the RSA Security Division of EMC.
DoD Reporter
Federal News Radio
The Pentagon is telling all military services and agencies that it's time for them to stop running their own servers and software to provide email capabilities. Within the next few months, military components are required to come up with a plan to move to the DoD-wide enterprise email system. Federal News Radio's DoD reporter Jared Serbu has the details.

we loved our save the date magnets
Great service and quality. We are so excited to share these with our family and friends!
So glad I choose to go with MagnetStreet!
I am thrilled with the save the dates I ordered from Magnet Street! I used one of their designs and completely personalized the colors and some of the writing. I was very anxious to see the final product but it gave me peace of mind to know that they had printed one of my magnets and checked it to make sure everything looked good before printing my whole order. I was so surprised when they came in the mail and there was an adorable box inside holding all of my products. The production and shipping time was perfect and I was so pleased to be able to track my order progress online. Not to mention the pricing was great and they offer amazing coupons, sign up for their emails! I will be recommending these to everyone I know. I am also thankful that they included some sample invitations with my order, I honestly wasn't planning on ordering my invitations from Magnet Street but now I definitely plan to be using them for the rest of my paper goods.
Perfect Save the Date
Perfectly designed and personalized with our photo. It is just what we wanted and was resonably priced! Quality is good and service was excellent. I would recommend them to any bride!

Don't we have to submit and surrender to SOMETHING in order to be free?
Actually, Christianity wants us to submit to God. And since God does not exist, they volunteer to take his place.
Christians would instantly abandon their God if he did not give them dominion over the rest of us.
