OXFORD, Ohio - Leading each of their respective teams to victory over the weekend, the Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the week of Oct. 1-7 are sophomore forward Austin Czarnik on the men's side and junior midfielder Kayla Zakrzewski on the women's side.
Czarnik (Washington, Mich.) paced the No. 9 Miami hockey team to a 6-2 win over Western Ontario Sunday in the team's lone exhibition of the season. He scored a pair of goals in the game, including the first goal of the afternoon just 4:28 into the contest. He added his other score on the power play in the second period. Czarnik had just one multi-goal game all of last season. The undersized center finished with a +2 rating for the game and fired six shots on goal. He also blocked two shots while not committing a penalty.
Zakrzewski (London, Ont.) led the soccer team to a pair of MAC wins, keeping the RedHawks undefeated in MAC play at 6-0 while extending Miami's win streak to seven games, its longest streak since 2002. She scored a pair of goals and handed out two assists in the two matches for a six-point weekend. In Friday's 3-0 shutout of Western Michigan, Zakrzewski had a hand in all three goals with two assists and a goal for a four-point afternoon. On Sunday, Zakrzewski came up huge again as she scored the game-winning goal unassisted in the 85th minute to break a 3-3 tie and give the RedHawks a 4-3 win over Eastern Michigan. She now has six goals on the year and leads the team with eight assists this season.
The Miami Athlete of the Week award is the first such honor of either Czarnik's or Zakrzewski's career. Zakrzewski was also named Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week Monday for her performance last weekend as well.
Czarnik and the hockey team open the regular season this weekend hosting Colgate Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12-13 at Steve Cady Arena. Zakrzewski leads the soccer team on the road this weekend with matches at Northern Illinois Friday and at Toledo, Sunday, Oct. 14.
The next Miami Athletes of the Week will be announced Tuesday, Oct. 16. For a list of previous winners, click here.

RICHLANDS – Richlands first-year coach Justin Snider went for the win Friday night – and lost.
Opting not to go for a 39-yard field goal attempt and failing on fourth down with 2:12 left, the Wildcats lost yet another nail-bitter, falling to West Carteret 18-15 in a Coastal 3-A Conference game.
The loss dropped Richlands to 3-4 (0-2 in the league) – with three of those losses coming by a combined seven points. West Carteret is now 5-2 and 1-1.
"We let one get away," Snider said. "You can only take so many heartbreakers before you lose the kids because then they start to believe they're never going to win one like this, but building a program takes time and you've got to lose these close ones for you to ever to learn how to win one."
Down 18-7 after a sluggish first half in which the Patriots scored with just 39.8 seconds left, Richlands pulled within a field goal on a leaping 19-yard touchdown reception in the end zone by Ladarius Marshall over linebacker Anthony Meadows on a pass from Ben Jackson with 5:25 remaining in the game.
After holding the Patriots to -5 yards on their ensuing series, Richlands wasted little time getting into scoring position, driving from its 37 to a first-and-10 at the Patriots 28 thanks to a 23-yard throwback pass from Jackson to Quentin Fenn and a 10-yard run by Fenn.
But two dropped passes – one at the goal line by Tyler Matthews on third-and-10 – left Snider with a decision on fourth-and-10 with 2:16 left. Initially, he sent in place-kicker Tolson Jeffrey for a 44-yard field goal attempt.
Jeffrey had missed field goals of 44 and 42 yards on Richlands' first two possessions of the second half. Both kicks were long enough but wide left.
But Snider changed his mind after a 5-yard offside penalty against West Carteret, opting to go for the first down instead of a 39-yard field goal. Jamar Harrington, who rushed for 96 yards on 27 carries, swept around right end off a block by Jason Hinkle.
But Hinkle's knee collapsed on him – he was later helped off the field – and the player he was blocking, Jake Freeman, stopped Harrington 1 yard shy of the first down.
"It was a judgment call," Snider said. "I could have either placed my confidence in the kicker, which I was going to do when he needed a lot of distance (for a first down), or I placed my confidence in the 11 that are saying, 'Coach, we can get this.'
"By the look in their eyes I just believed those young men had every intention of doing that, and if the kid doesn't dislocate a knee cap the thing's wide open to the end zone. But his knee folds up underneath him so his block gets released and he (Freeman) ends up making the tackle."
West Carteret coach Todd Nelson said he wasn't surprised by Snider's decision.
"I respect a coach that goes for the win," Nelson said. "That's a decision that every coach faces at some point, and I've done the same thing and been on both sides of it afterwards. You make that call because you think it's the right thing for your team at the time."
West Carteret was able to run out the final 2:12 in no small part thanks to a high school rule that restarts the clock after a penalty – and gives the team a new 25 seconds on the play clock. The Patriots were called for two motion penalties, which allowed them to run more time off the clock. Neither, Nelson said, was on purpose.
"But now that I'm more familiar with the rule pity the next person we have," Nelson said. "It would be a great strategy."
This was a tough loss for Snider and the Wildcats, who had plenty of reasons to wonder how they didn't pull out the win. Along with the two missed field goals and a first half to forget, the Patriots played all but one snap on offense in the second half with sophomore Randall Graves at quarterback after the starter, sophomore Rodney Mitchell, injured his shoulder on an 8-yard run on his team's first play in the second half.
Graves was pulled up from JV this week after West Carteret's backup quarterback was injured a week ago.
Then there were the four turnovers – two lost fumbles in the first half and two interceptions in the second half. And the 17-yard touchdown catch by Harrington called back late in the third quarter that would have given the Wildcats the lead. But Richlands was called for illegal participation – a Wildcat player continued to pursue the ball – in this case looking to block a Patriot – after his helmet came off, which is prohibited under a new rule.
Snider said it was the first time he'd seen the call made this year.
"The kid had has helmet jerked off twice," Snider said. "That was a backbreaker."
Indeed, on the next play Jackson's passed was picked off.
The game was all West Carteret early while Richlands was clearly flat. The Patriots went up 6-0 with 1:21 left in the opening period on a 9-yard run up the middle by Devon Godette, who wasn't touched as he ran behind a line that averages 264 pounds.
Godette finished with 87 yards on 13 carries.
West Carteret made it 12-0 on its second possession after recovering the second fumble by the Wildcats in three possessions at the Richlands 30. It took the Patriots just three plays to score on a 28-yard run by Tyrell Johnson, who was virtually untouched en route to the end zone.
On the sidelines, one Richlands played yelled, "We've got to wake up! We're looking like last year's team." The Wildcats finished 3-8 in 2012.
Richlands did wake up, driving 62 yards to cut the lead to five on a 32-yard pass from Jackson to Marshall with 7:47 left.
But West Carteret answered with a time-consuming drive, eating all but 39.8 seconds off the clock before going up 18-7 on an 8-yard pass from Rodney Mitchell to Jordan Meadows. The Patriots then recovered their surprising onside kick but Richlands held – and turned it on the second half, but it wasn't enough.
"We had a bad first half," Snider said. "We didn't play our style of football. We came out flat. We spent 24 minutes playing flat, undisciplined, not doing our jobs. … We didn't have our best week of practice and it spilled over into not having our best game."
Notes: Tailback Ethan Horne remained sidelined with a knee injury suffered in a 31-6 win at South Lenoir on Sept. 13. Harrington, who played quarterback last year, was moved from fullback to tailback to replace Horne. Snider said Horne is expected back but wasn't sure how soon. Richlands has an open date next week before playing host to West Craven on Oct. 18.

I keep reading articles about retirement and funding, etc - and then the 4% withdraw phase.
But I haven't really seen anything regarding which funds and when to withdraw.
My wife is a teacher - and going to retire in a couple of years - if Illinois still allows them their pensions -
That's another story, as 90% of the money in her pension was earned and deposited by HER, not the state.
SO - cash flow is not really an issue... but just wondering later down the road.
At some point we will have - both retired in late 50's :
teacher pension - when does that payout ? can you delay ? can you take smaller monthly amounts vs fixed ?
SS - put that off till distant 70 - to hard to think about now - can you take smaller monthly vs fixed ?
IRA - both have normal IRA - no Roth
Vanguard mutual funds - variety long term stock/bond index portfolio
Schwab stocks - variety long term stock portfolio
Chase checking acct - cash
some CD ladders
SO.... when the direct income flow is turned off, then what ?
what do you tap....

Hot Air Rises
This is the law of nature that makes the upper floors of a house generally warmer than the bottom floor or basement. It's called convection, and it's responsible for much of the heat and cold lost inside our homes. In the winter, you heat the inside of your house, and that heat is constantly trying to escape through convection and other means. It heads right upstairs and sneaks through all the little holes in your ceiling between the top floor and the attic and from there makes its way outside.
As the warm air is leaving the house, it's also pulling outdoor air into the house through tiny gaps around doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, around pipes entering the house, etc. This cool "makeup" air just makes your furnace work harder to keep you comfortable. In the summer, the same effect leads to inefficiency with air conditioning, because convection is pulling hot outdoor air into the house, making your air conditioner work harder.
Now that we're done with the science lesson, let's look at what home energy experts say about cooling your house more efficiently.

Hydronic baseboard heaters utilize the heat from a heating element that is filled with a heat tranfser fluid. This heating element is encased in a copper tube casing with aluminum fins. Baseboard heaters can be efficiently used to heat zones, or specific rooms where the primary heating system is inadequate. Because multiple baseboard heater sizes and configurations are available, baseboard heaters can be the ideal source to quickly install and heat an area.

1. Beatles frontman John Lennon died at 40 after he was shot in the back four times outside his New York City home on Monday, December 8, 1980 by Mark David Chapman, an obsessed fan who'd become the poster boy for deranged celebrity stalkers.
2. Up-and-coming actress Rebecca Schaeffer (My Sister Sam) was shot and killed in 1989 at the front door of her L.A. apartment by stalker Robert John Bardo, who'd hired a private detective to gain her personal info. The next year, California passed the first anti-stalking law.
3. Paula Abdul's stalker Paula Goodspeed -- a former American Idol hopeful -- killed herself via pill overdose outside the star's L.A. mansion in November 2008. In her 2006 Idol tryout, Goodspeed told Ryan Seacrest "I really like Paula Abdul a lot ... I'm a really big fan. I make life-size drawings of Paula."
4. It's not just Jay Leno that has a history of lurking over Conan O'Brien's shoulder: In 2008, Boston priest David Ajemian pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after sending letters to the red-headed comic's business and home, and even tried to break into a taping of his then-N.Y. based show.
5. ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was famously stalked -- and taped -- by Michael David Barrett, an insurance salesman who checked into hotel rooms next to hers, and taped the beauty undressing through a peephole. He was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for his transgressions. Andrews was able to parlay the notoriety and public sympathy into a stint on Dancing With The Stars.
6. Dancing With The Stars spring 2009 champion, Olympian Shawn Johnson had a scary brush after her stalker, Robert O' Ryan, broke onto the set she was filming the dance competition at. A subsequent police search revealed two loaded guns, a knife and love letters addressed to the young athlete. He was subsequently sentenced to five years in a mental hospital.
7. Karen McNeil testified in court she thought she was destined to be Justin Timberlake's bride, but the My Love singer didn't feel the same way: in November 2009, Timberlake was granted a three-year restraining order after McNeil trespassed onto his property and broke into his L.A. home.
8. Being America's Sweetheart hasn't come without unwelcome attention for Sandra Bullock: The Oscar-winning actress has had to seek court protection from a number of stalkers including Thomas James Weldon, who sent her hundreds of e-mails, faxes and phone messages; and Marcia Valentine left "weird signs" using palm fronds and "pieces of animal fur" for her. Whatever happened to fan clubs?
9. John Hinckley Jr. was so obsessed with Jodie Foster in 1980, he added a special twist to the usual love letter synonymous with stalkers: he famously tried to assassinate then- President Ronald Reagan to impress her. Found not guilty by reason of insanity, the inept assassin has been institutionalized for the past three decades and counting.
10. David Letterman's longtime stalker Margaret Mary Ray killed herself in 1998, after years in which she tormented the late night host with stunts like stealing his Porsche, threatening him and breaking into his house.

Scam alert. Are you getting phone calls by people claiming to be tech support?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 5/25/12 3:21 PM
Scam alert. Are you getting phone calls by people claiming to be tech support?
Hi my name is Glenn, screen name Glenn51. I have a question for you and it might make a good
post on your CNet community page. I also read most all of your post and sometimes comment to
help answer problems.
I've been receiving phone calls to my home phone over the better part of 2 months on the average
of 2 sometimes 3 times per week regarding my Windows operating system. They claim to be from
Tech. Support. The first time I "almost fell for it" but as the session went on it got extremely fishy!
I then ended the phone session and called Microsoft directly via phone. They informed me that
Microsoft doesn't ever contact a person by phone. The MS call confirmed my suspicion.
At around 4 O'clock this evening, May 19th, 2012, I received yet another phone call from Harry
at Tech. Support saying he needs to check to see if I have any infected files on my computer. I actually
have 3 all running Windows 7. All are legitimate installations of Window 7.
I told Harry that I have talked directly to Microsoft who said they don't contact people via phone! He
yet again stated that he is/ was from Tech. Support. I asked him if this was from Microsoft Tech. Support
to which he danced around the subject. I then asked him outright to divulge the name of his employer
and phone number as I was going to file a complaint with Microsoft, the Federal Trade Commission
and the Federal Communications Commission!
He stated that he can't divulge that to me as he is not authorized to do so. I then told him that since
he isn't authorized to release that information, then I was not authorized to communicate with him. I
requested that he/ they stop bothering me at least 3 or 4 times till I finally hung up on him! He kept on
trying to get me to go along with him on checking my computer. I refused and then hung up.
This really isn't a question being asked but a heads up warning for all your followers. I'd like to know
if anyone else is being harassed or bothered by similar phone calls. What I'd really like to know is who
the Hades gave or sold them my home phone number so I could return the favor. Maybe sign them up
for dial-a-porn or something of the sorts.
If the caller can't identify the company or give me a phone number, then I refuse to give them my time.
By the way I told him I run Norton Internet Security 2012, Malwarebytes Anti-malware and have run msert
( the Windows Safe Scan that was downloaded directly from Microsoft's website), not to mention
that I download all updates on patch Tuesday which includes their malicious software removal tool as
part of the update process. Everything that I use to check, which are current on all updates, tell me I'm clean
as a new and never used whistle!
I apologize for the length of this e-mail. If you decide to post it feel free to edit as you see fit. Like I
stated earlier it was to be more of a informational alert for your followers and to see if anyone else has
been bothered by this pesty pain in the posterior! I personally DO NOT think this is a legitimate phone call,
maybe it's the new phishing/ scamming/ socially engineered drive by! The caller sounded to be from India.
P.S. Checking the caller I.D. only shows out of area. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
I think Ben Franklin said that. Readers beware!!!!!! If they can't identify themselves TERMINATE the call!!!!!

Squeaky Clean
Get out that mop and get ready to wax because a good floor cleaning will not only look great, but glossy floors will actually add a brighter glow to your home. Polished floors reflect light. Carpets absorb it. So, if you have a lot of carpet in your home, you might want to remove some of it and put down some hard floors. They're easier to clean and help add light to your home.
So, take a walk through your home and see where you can implement some of the less time consuming tips listed here, such as waxing the floors, adding mirrors, and changing your drapes. See how your home feels at that point and then start thinking about how much more light you need and what is the best way to get it, either through replacing old windows with better positioned ones, adding tubular skylights, or changing the color scheme of your home. Have fun with it and good luck!

From its beginnings, Vertex has been founded on a simple principle to deliver an unparalleled combination of form, function, and elegance to reef keeping. Our combination of relentless innovation and insatiable quality control guarantee our commitment to provide only the highest standards for every product worthy of the Vertex brand name.
From these roots have sprung the latest Vertex innovation the Vertex Illumina.
Underneath the Illumina's sleek, ultra thin exterior are the highest grade LEDs, available, providing unbelievably powerful lighting at extraordinarily low levels of energy consumption. Combining brains with beauty, the technology behind the Illumina allows for an almost endless array of programmable possibilities sunsets, sunrises, midday scenarios, weather simulations, and much more. Controlled wirelessly by the controller or your PC, the Illumina allows for the lights to be manipulated by color group, modules, auxiliary modules, and programmed custom groups, for unsurpassed levels of control.
The other secret to Illumina innovation is the Total Modular System. This revolutionary system allows for ever part of the Illumina to be easily removed and replaced without wiring or soldering. You will be able to upgrade the Vertex Illumina effortlessly to keep up with new LED releases. Removing and replacing parts can be done with a snap.
Keeping all of this equipment in pristine condition is a top priority, and it is yet another area in which the Illumina shines. The Illumina uses a Thermovap heatsink design with a high bypass airshaft exchange, central to an oversized bilateral heat sink. This technology stylishly provides the most efficient heat dispersion technology available on any LED lighting fixture, minimizing heat transfer to your system by the Illumina to levels previously thought impossible.
Designed, made & assembled by Vertex Aquaristik in-house in Austria, and coming in 1' to 6' fixtures, these units provide the highest quality yet seen in the aquarium lighting industry. Never before has an LED device been capable of growing any species of coral while generating such a small carbon footprint consuming almost less than 50% energy compared to most other methods available to illuminate a reef tank. The Illumina's power speaks for itself; its ability to overpower high Kelvin 400w MH bulbs ran on electronic ballasts can be seen by the naked eye.
With unsurpassed lighting power and unprecedented energy efficiency, the Illumina is the ultimate combination of style and substance. Hosting more features than have ever been made available in any other lighting unit and a modular system that guarantees it will continue to be an industry leader for years to come.

Club competitions
National team competitions
32-17, 22-19, 25-18, 26-7
Pinar Karsiyaka underlined their superiority in Group A as they wrapped up the EuroChallenge Regular Season campaign with a 105-61 rout of ETHA.
Ayhan Kentil scored 15 points to lead five Pinar players scoring in double figures and they outscored their winless visitors 51-25 in the second half to complete an outstanding display.
ETHA hung with their hosts for the opening five minutes, but a 15-0 run that spanned the first and second quarters saw Pinar take complete control, going up 39-17 on Kentil's jump-shot.
ETHA kept scrapping, and reeled off seven straight points of their own to get back to 43-30 on Donte Poole's lay-up.
But they were only delaying the inevitable as Pinar began to pull clear once more, a Jon Diebler three giving them a 54-36 advantage at half-time and Robert Dixon hitting two more threes early in the third as they scored the first 11 points to go 65-36 up.
Dixon and Umit Sonkol finished with 14 points each while Diebler had 13 and William Thomas 11.
Ogo Adegboye led ETHA with 12 points while Dejan Cup had 10.
"We played against a real strong team tonight, who I believe will go through to the end of competition, and we lost. They started so aggressive and we could not stand against it after the first quarter. I wish the best for them on the road, and appretiate their hospitatlity. Now on we will focus on our own national league."
Etha player Akida Mc Lain"A strong and tough opponent made us lose tonight. I wish the best to Pinar Karsiyaka, till the end of this competition."
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica"Congratulations to my players, qualifiying to the Last 16 and also for taking their business seriously. Now we will look forward to the second group!"
Pinar Karsiyaka player Onur Calban"Even if everything was clear for us in the group, we prepared the game as we usually do, and took it seriously. Coach also gave opportunity to the young players in this game and we tried to use it."

March 20, 1968, 4 cubic feet; official files (1921-1925) of Congressman Hallett S. Ward. Material includes correspondence, reports, bills and resolutions, and printed material. Gift of Mrs. Ida W. Grimes, Washington, N. C.
No restrictions
Literary rights to specific documents are retained by the authors or their descendants in accordance with U.S. copyright law.
Hallett S. Ward Papers (#53), East Carolina Manuscript Collection, J. Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
Processed by A. Sabrosky
Encoded by Apex Data Services
All of the material relates to the four years (1921-1925) during which Ward was serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. The greater part of the papers concerns the handling of routine requests from Ward's constituents in the 1st Congressional District of North Carolina and minor correspondence relative to the conduct of his law practice in Washington, North Carolina.
The collection includes extensive correspondence concerning the status of numerous postmasterships in eastern North Carolina, with comments on the merits of the system and of individuals holding office during that period. Additional voluminous information pertains to the screening of applicants for the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Military Academy, a list of applicants (1923-1924), and an example of the general entrance examination for applicants. Other significant quantities of correspondence pertain to pensions for veterans and their families and routine legislation considered by the U.S. House of Representatives (1921-1925).
Specific items of some interest include discussions on cooperative marketing (1923-1924) and a bulletin published by the State of North Carolina presenting the agricultural state of affairs in this area (1920). Business correspondence concerns animal husbandry, botanic gardens, and the effects of the boll weevil on rural economies.
Several aspects of education are considered within the collection. Among these are the status of Negro education in North Carolina (1924), the educational system within the District of Columbia (1922-1923), and two bills proposing the establishment of a cabinet-level Department of Education: the Towner-Sterling Bill (1921) and the Smith-Towner Bill (1922).
During Mr. Ward's tenure of office, the question of judicial reapportionment in North Carolina was particularly important. This collection includes detailed lists and extensive correspondence relative to the creation of a third Federal Judicial District in this state, and includes an examination of the Overman Bill (1924-1925) which was designed to achieve that reapportionment.
Interesting personal narratives by Ward present his views on the state of affairs and overall conditions in Haiti and the Panama Canal Zone.
Surveys of coastal waterways and the condition of rivers, bridges, and roads within North Carolina are often discussed. In addition to the major groups of papers on this subject, passing references are frequently made to the topics in Ward's personal correspondence.
Additional legislation of some significance includes proposals for, and correspondence on, the subject of child labor (1921, 1924), the creation of a national police bureau (1923), the status of the civil governments in Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands, the tariff proposals of 1921 and 1922, the Soldier's Adjusted Compensation Bill (1922), the need for a reorganization of the national defense structure, and the establishment of an air mail service (1921).
Perhaps the two most interesting items are a list of those members of Congress who made up the so-called "Farm Bloc"(1924) and a purported "Oath of the Knights of Columbus" submitted in testimony of a Congressional committee (1924). This "Oath," while later proven to be a forgery, presents the image of an armed, militant, Catholicism preparing to do battle for the Church.
Numerous lists of schoolteachers, registrars, ministers, newspapers, schools, and voters appear in the collection.
For additional information see Junius D. Grimes Papers (#571).
Online access to this finding aid is supported with funds created through the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). These funds come through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services which is administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.

The Lake House is a beautiful home in a perfect setting. Our family of five loved our stay here, and the kids especially loved boating and swimming in the lovely small lake. The home is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well outfitted for cooking when eating in, and the setting is wonderfully serene. Luisa made sure everything was taken care of for our stay, and we felt like we were staying in the home of a friend. We highly recommend this great getaway.

Lady Falcon Bats Explode in Offensive Outburst Sweep at Johnson C. Smith
February 25, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University scored 20 runs pounding out 25 hits in a doubleheader softball sweep at Johnson C. Smith on Friday afternoon. The Lady Falcons tallied a 9-0 shutout in game one while rolling 11-1 in a shortened five inning game two. Pfeiffer improves to 4-8 on the year while the Golden Bulls fall to 0-6.
The scoring started very quickly as Melanie Conklin started her excellent day at the plate with a leadoff home run to right in the top of the first. Pfeiffer held that 1-0 lead until the sixth and seventh when four-run frames accounted for the final eight tallies.
In the sixth, Allison Braswell, who also pitched a gem in the opener, started with a double to left, later scoring on a Hannah Jackson single. Celia Dew then dropped down a bunt to score Sarah Waylock while Kirsten Patterson and Rachel LaBar picked up the final RBI in the sixth.
In the seventh, Conklin led off with a triple to right-center. Sam Taylor followed with an infield single while Patterson delivered the final blow with a two-run double to left-center. In the circle, Braswell tossed a complete game allowing just four hits with eight strikeouts.
In the five-inning nightcap, Pfeiffer put up two early in the first on a Braswell double down the left field line, while adding three in the second on RBI-singles from Conklin and Dew. After Johnson C. Smith scored in the third on a Kawehio Chan double, Pfeiffer closed it out with a half-dozen runs in the fifth. LaBar doubled to left for the first run while Conklin followed with a two-run double to left-center.
Shelby Brown scored the win tossing six frames allowing one run on six hits with nine strikeouts in the victory. Five Falcons had a pair of hits in the second contest capping off the offensive explosion.
Pfeiffer returns home on Saturday afternoon for a 1:00 p.m. Conference Carolinas doubleheader with St. Andrews.

Mandarin shower gel with skin-softening olive oil
If your body has been beaten down by the rigors of the rat race, extend an Olive Branch as a peace offering and give yourself some tender loving care. Once you give it a good shake (the shower gel, not your body), the skin softening organic olive oil will be nicely blended in. Loaded with vital antioxidants, with an infusion of vine leaves, sea salt and fresh mandarin juice, it's just like a warm embrace from the Mediterranean. It's uplifting and reassuring, and brings peace of mind and body whenever you lather up in the bath or shower.
- Shower escape: A gentle, Mediterranean inspired gel with skin softening olive oil for dry skin.
- Uplifting and refreshing: Shower with the citrus scents of mandarin and lemon with a just hint of fresh orange groves.
- Get juiced: Mandarin juice has been used for years to lighten the mood and freshen up dull skin.

A:Olive Branch and Karma are great friends in terms of scent, I find! They both use lots of citrus, and the Olive Branch is a little softer, so I don't imagine it would take away from the Karma fragrance.Answered on 4/17/2012 by Megan from LUSH

|Welcome to Kent State University and University Health Services
Adjustment to Life's Changes
Helping Yourself
Many college students have minor problems adjusting to their new environment. Here are a few ideas that can help you manage your feelings of pressure and stress:
Getting Help
Sometimes these changes and adjustments can trigger depression. If the above techniques do not appear to be working, don't hesitate to seek professional help. If your feelings of constant stress become feelings of sadness that go on for weeks and months, you may be experiencing more than just difficulty adjusting to life's changes. Seek assistance from the university counseling service, student health center, your doctor, or a mental health professional.

Man those Knight logos are great. I would love to see you incorporate just a tad of red, just to see how her ideas of colors would work together on a logo.
Don't have any idea why, but that last list brought back memories of the old Krewe of Jason parade on Jefferson Hwy.
Man those Knight logos are great. I would love to see you incorporate just a tad of red, just to see how her ideas of colors would work together on a logo.
Something about the almost featureless helmet that appeals to me.
It reminds me of the old Warriors logo.
Hmmmm . . . I can walk to the Blue Tomato, Haydel's and Bud's too.
Don't be fooled . . . I'm WAY less mature than my age.
The idea of a coat of arms is appealing, but that one doesn't quite do it for me. It feels a bit soft, texture-wise.
On the helmet, I agree with Eman. The smooth look works with the logo accent. Something about the gold...headpiece(?) turns me off, though.
These logos were just done from a few sketches I made a while back. I felt like posting some designs on here just to see how they would go over. There wasn't any particular reason for the design to be black and gold, it was just the combo that I went with.
I was looking at the desings for the Brooklyn Nets and I wanted these logos to be simple, but not as simple as theirs. Design wise, I don't have as much in them as I usually do in my other logos, but at the same time I tried to get as much 'New Orleans' in there as I could.
The hand guards on the swords are crescents and obviously the fleur de lis, being the main element with the basketball intergrated into it. The headpiece on the Knight is supposed to resemble the three upper petals of a fdl, as well.
Either way, the Knights as a concept was not one that I was looking to propose to the team which is the reason why I am posting it here. Not saying that the name isn't cool, it is, but I just don't see the association between it and New Orleans other than the name rolling off of the tongue easily!
Here is the jersey that I desinged but I switched the colors as some of you suggested. The reason behind the thick neck/arm borders is because I wanted it to resemble the way armor looks on a Knight. The metal would have rolled edges so that they wouldn't be sharp and I tried to convey that with the gold piping.
The fleur de li patches under the arms was just something I was trying to be creative and different with! It was designed from pieces that normally would fit over a Knight's shoulder but seeing as basketball jerseys give you limited space, I just kinda' stuck it there and popped the fdl in it. The little white design right above it was put there just because! If it works for you, it works for me!

I have an honest question...why is there (and has been) so many Carnival Krewes with Knights as part of their name/theme?
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
It was all part of lampooning the aristocracy, gentry, rich folk. Now, it's just habit.
June 4: New Orleans Trumpters
June 3: New Orleans Maskers
June 2: New Orleans Misfits
June 1: New Orleans Desire
I think I would like the name Knights if it was Nights. New Orleans Nights.
Yea BigDub, I love the Knights logo and jerseys suggested. Like some others, a little hint of red with the black/gold being the dominant colors would look great. Especially if that is what Benson is going for. With these designs, I'm starting to dig the New Orleans KnightsMan those Knight logos are great. I would love to see you incorporate just a tad of red, just to see how her ideas of colors would work together on a logo.
bigdub those jerseys are PERFECT.

Love it, Love it......I normally use Cafe Puro Iced but I ran out. Couldn't find it anywhere in dept. stores so I purchased some from here. I saw the pink cap and name and I thought I'll just buy some, I was surprised. Everywhere I go people compliment me on my scent and ask me "what fragrance are you wearing". Love it.

Terrestrial radio – AM and FM broadcasting – gets a bad rap from many who either comment on electronic media or have moved on to online radio. But it also has its supporters, so this week we hear from both sides. First, the criticisms from Ken Levine, writer-producer-director and major league baseball announcer who writes at kenlevine.blogspot.com:
"For almost a hundred years terrestrial radio has ruled the airwaves. My first love (besides Natalie Wood) is radio. That's why it really pains me to not only see it heading towards its own demise but sprinting.
"Now we have satellite radio (such as it is), Internet radio, music services like Pandora, our own playlists. At one time the only way you could hear the hits was to tune to a terrestrial station or maybe two. Now there are literally thousands of alternatives. On iTunes radio there are 543 stations streaming Top 40/pop music. Right this minute a Lady Gaga song is on 523 of them. There's probably a 24/7 station that plays nothing but Spandau Ballet – and they only had one hit.
"So how does terrestrial radio deal with this? By ignoring it. By increasing their commercial load. What's the single biggest complaint listeners have about terrestrial radio? No. Rush Limbaugh is number two. Commercials! Of course! So to counter-program all these alternative delivery systems they just add more commercials. Do stations know they're mortgaging their future? Of course. But they don't care. They just want to bring in a profit now. In their list of priorities, the listener falls right below watering the plants in the lobby."
Now the other side from those who support traditional radio:
Doug McIntyre, KABC/790 AM: "290 million people a week listen to the radio, the vast majority of which are listening to terrestrial radio. That's a bigger aggregate audience than television and much, much larger than movies. Traditional radio is far from dead. However, it could be so much more if the handcuffs were taken off and radio storytellers were allowed more creative freedom. Just one man's opinion, but I think we've become slaves to format and lost sight of the golden rule of entertainment – whatever you do, don't be boring!
"I'll leave discussions of mergers and debt service and the financial pressures on ownership groups to folks better informed than I. But to paraphrase Sam Clemens, the reports of radio's demise are greatly exaggerated."
Gary W. Bryan, K-Earth 101: "How can you ask that? When terrestrial radio is listened to by 93%-95% of Americans every week! In fact, radio is the medium that has been least affected by other, newer mediums. That's primarily because of in-car listening. Certainly satellite radio is far less of a factor than many predicted, and even devices that play MP3s haven't displaced live and local radio entertainment."
Tim Conway, Jr., KFI/640 AM: "Radio broke the name Christopher Dorner, carried live interviews from crippled cruise ship Triumph, and bested TV in reporting the asteroid that hit Russia. 'The Today Show' even gave KFI credit for being the first media outlet to talk to the Big Bear resident that was carjacked by Christopher Dorner."
NEXT WEEK: Tom Leykis tells the story behind his success in reaching an estimated 3 million listeners on his daily online radio show.
What's your opinion? Email me and we'll offer some of your comments next week.
ESPN 710 AM anchor Dave Joseph is the new public address announcer for the Los Angeles Kings. He replaces the late David Courtney. Joseph covered the Kings for the last 12 seasons and was Courtney's backup and reported protégé. Joseph told FishbowlLA, "David was with the Kings for 25 years. He was a legend. Not only did he do the Kings, he did the Clippers, Angels. People get to know his voice and they feel a kind of warmness when they go into Staples Center. For him to pass away and to fill that spot is extremely conflicting.
"I'm trying to call the game or do the PA the way I would do it, I was trained by David, so the guidelines I follow are all because of David. When he would call a goal, David would call it in his own way. When I call a goal, it's similar to David, but I hesitate to pay tribute because I don't think I could do that justice."

All Heartbreakers concerts are cause for celebration, but Thursday night in Wichita had a particularly celebratory mood as Steve Ferrone celebrated his birthday earlier in the week.
Ferrone was a monster tonight, dropping some killer fills when appropriate while laying down a solid rhythm foundation all night along with bassist Ron Blair for Tom and the rest of the band to shine.
Tom once again dedicated a gorgeous version of "The Best of Everything," a track off Southern Accents produced by Robbie Robertson, to the late great Levon Helm, and "Have Love Will Travel," one of Tom's personal favorites off The Last DJ, returned to the set list. "Saving Grace" made its debut on the 2012 Summer Tour, but it was "It's Good To Be King" that rocked the Intrust Arena in Wichita to its core, leaving thousands of Heartbreakers fans cheering as Mike Campbell squeezed everything he had out of his sunburst Gibson guitar.

FDA proposes sweeping new food safety rules
Friday - 1/4/2013, 2:00pm EST
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration on Friday proposed the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more vigilant in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe and leafy greens.
The long-overdue regulations are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodborne illness. Just since last summer, outbreaks of listeria in cheese and salmonella in peanut butter, mangoes and cantaloupe have been linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher.
The FDA's proposed rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination, to include making sure workers' hands are washed, irrigation water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean.
Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in several of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives, for example, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at Jensen Farms in Colorado where the cantaloupes were grown. In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses, inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout Sunland Inc.'s peanut processing plant in New Mexico and multiple obvious safety problems, such as birds flying over uncovered trailers of peanuts and employees not washing their hands.
Under the new rules, companies would have to lay out plans for preventing those sorts of problems, monitor their own progress on those safety efforts and explain to the FDA how they would correct them.
"The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen," said Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner for foods.
The FDA estimates the new rules could prevent almost 2 million illnesses annually, but it could be several years before the rules are actually preventing outbreaks. Taylor said it could take the agency another year to craft the rules after a four-month comment period, and farms would have at least two years to comply _ meaning the farm rules are at least three years away from taking effect. Smaller farms would have even longer to comply.
The new rules, which come exactly two years to the day President Barack Obama's signed food safety legislation passed by Congress, were already delayed. The 2011 law required the agency to propose a first installment of the rules a year ago, but the Obama administration held them until after the election. Food safety advocates sued the administration to win their release.
The produce rule would mark the first time the FDA has had real authority to regulate food on farms. In an effort to stave off protests from farmers, the farm rules are tailored to apply only to certain fruits and vegetables that pose the greatest risk, like berries, melons, leafy greens and other foods that are usually eaten raw. A farm that produces green beans that will be canned and cooked, for example, would not be regulated.
Such flexibility, along with the growing realization that outbreaks are bad for business, has brought the produce industry and much of the rest of the food industry on board as Congress and FDA has worked to make food safer.
In a statement Friday, Pamela Bailey, president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents the country's biggest food companies, said the food safety law "can serve as a role model for what can be achieved when the private and public sectors work together to achieve a common goal."
The farm and manufacturing rules are only one part of the food safety law. The bill also authorized more surprise inspections by the FDA and gave the agency additional powers to shut down food facilities. In addition, the law required stricter standards on imported foods. The agency said it will soon propose other overdue rules to ensure that importers verify overseas food is safe and to improve food safety audits overseas.
Food safety advocates frustrated over the last year as the rules stalled praised the proposed action.
"The new law should transform the FDA from an agency that tracks down outbreaks after the fact, to an agency focused on preventing food contamination in the first place," said Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
