Women's Volleyball Sweeps Queens 3-0 in Home Opener
September 15, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Thanks to solid defense all night long, the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons were able to secure their first conference victory of the season with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-16, 25-18) sweep of the Queens Royals on Tuesday night in Merner Gym. With the win, Pfeiffer improves to 4-6 overall, 1-1 in Conference Carolinas while Queens falls to 3-8, 1-1.
In set one, Colleen Wands (Apex, NC) would help serve the Lady Falcons to an early 6-1 lead on a couple of kills by Jordan OBryant (Reidsville, NC) and Brittany Dickens (Raleigh, NC). Pfeiffer would get out to its largest lead of the opener with another kill from OBryant to make it 18-7 late in set one. Queens would get as close as 23-15 on a kill by Allison Williams (Rougemont, NC) but a service error by Williams two points later would give Pfeiffer the 25-17 win.
A kill by Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) got the Lady Falcons on the board to start set two before Vanessa Gerig (Towanda, IL) helped serve Pfeiffer to another quick lead. Gerig, thanks to a kill by Lauren Dickens (Raleigh, NC), an ace and a pair of Royals errors, the Lady Falcons found themselves up early again at 5-1. Set two would go back and forth before three straight attack errors by Queens gave Pfeiffer a 19-13 advantage. Gerig and Mordini would each register another kill for a 22-16 lead before the next two of three points would be given to Pfeiffer on a pair of hitting errors committed by Royals outside hitter Erica Mazur (Waxhaw, NC).
The third and final set began with the Lady Falcons misfiring on a couple hitting attempts as Queens took their first lead of the match at 3-2. Williams would tack on another kill for Queens at 9-9 before Pfeiffer would pull away for good. Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) would pick up four of her six kills in the final rallies to help secure the 25-18 set three and match win.
Brittany Dickens led both sides offensively with nine kills. Brittany Harvey (Matthews, NC) had eight to pace Queens. The Royals were unable to get anything going on the night offensively hitting -.019 for the match. Pfeiffer used 57 defensive digs and a hitting percentage of 15% to come out victorious in their 2009 home opener.
Pfeiffer will welcome in a pair of Conference Carolinas matches this weekend with the Anderson Trojans on Friday night and the Erskine Flying Fleet on Saturday. Game time on Friday is set for 7:00 p.m. while Saturdays action gets underway at 1:00 p.m.

The Australian Rugby Union has expressed its confidence in Wallabies coach Robbie Deans and feels that the big injury count contributed to some disappointing results in 2012.
Recently, Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer said he was satisfied with South Africa's progress in 2012 considering the number of injuries suffered by senior players. The Boks may have won seven, drawn two, and lost three, but Meyer said that with all the injuries, that record was relatively successful.
On Wednesday, the ARU expressed the same sentiment. Deans has been under pressure following the Wallabies' slide to No 3 in the world rankings, and with the British & Irish Lions tour looming, there are many that feel he should be axed.
The ARU, however, are satisfied that Deans is the right man for the job, and that critics should take the Wallabies' injury situation into account before slamming the coach and team.
'You've got to put the Wallabies' performance in context with how many injuries we've had,' said ARU chairman Michael Hawker. 'We've had 55 people play for the Wallabies this year which is a pretty poor number of players, so we've had an unusual level of injury rate.
'That's something we're looking at as to why that occurred and how we might be able to do about that. We can actually improve the better player management process between the ARU and the Super Rugby franchises to make sure the player welfare is managed right collectively across those two levels of the game.
'When you've got a team that has playmakers such as [Will] Genia, [James] O'Connor, [Quade] Cooper, [David] Pocock and [Kurtley] Beale, who didn't play the whole year … If you took [Dan] Carter and Richie McCaw out of the New Zealand team, you'd have a different proposition. We had five major playmakers out of our game and we had a pretty good record.'
Hawker confirmed that Deans was under no added pressure to obtain better results in 2013.
'From the Australian Rugby Union, we're happy with where the Australian team is,' he said. 'We'd like to have less injuries and I think if we didn't have as many injuries, we would've been right at the top.
'Next year is a huge year with the Lions making a once-in-12-year journey down here. Having just come from the northern hemisphere, people are hugely excited over there to be here. It always creates a huge wave of anticipation seeing the best of the northern hemisphere come here. We're pretty keen to try and thump them. They're going to be a very competitive side and we're going to be a very competitive side and I think it's going to generate plenty of interest.
'I think the coaches think of every year as make or break. I don't think Robbie takes anything for granted. For us, I think everyone in the Australian public are keen to win all the games and so is Robbie. He'll do all he can. In the board's view, we have every chance of defeating the Lions next year.'
What will give the Australians confidence is their results against the northern hemisphere over the past few months. The Wallabies lost to France and Scotland in 2012, but beat Wales four times, and England and Italy once.
The home nations haven't been much better against the other southern hemisphere giants. New Zealand beat Ireland three times in June, and cruised to victory in games against Scotland, Wales and Italy in November. The All Blacks did, however, lose to England in their final match of the year.
South Africa recorded five wins and one draw against northern hemisphere opposition in 2012. It's fair to say the south still holds sway, and the Lions may battle to win yet another series when they tour Australia next year.

Poem In Which I Accept That Absences Are Not Absences
by Margaret C. Szumoweski | January-February 1999
I accept the cardinal that comes to the tree...
I accept the cardinal that comes to the tree
in bright red robes, priest of the backyard,
flickering beauty;
even empty branches hold its scarlet.
I accept a man I will never touch
only slight brush of lips
like the taste of fragrant spruce
as I walk to the mountain.
I accept the way God pours love into me,
forgotten presence,
as though lamp were to forget light,
fire forget flame.
MARGARET C. SZUMOWSKI served for several years with the Peace Corps in Zaire and Ethiopia. She now teaches English at Springfield Technical Community College in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

Like one of your earlier reviewers I had been using it since in Med School in the seventies.. Used along with Paco Rabanne mixed in moisturising cream for use as a shaving balm, I am constantly asked about what the Fragrance is. In western europe it is only now available in select outlets; expensive but certainly value for money.

Your grillmaster friends may well be grilling their steaks backwards. Do they lecture you on how searing the meat first "locks in" the juices, after which it is safe to grill? If they do, they're victims of one of the most enduring myths in grilling. Pre-searing a steak doesn't seal in the juices. It does not form a barrier against moisture loss. And a jab or a turn with a fork certainly will not "let all the juices run out"
We grillers are after a perfectly cooked, juicy steak. For us, overcooking or drying-out dinner is the stuff of nightmares. My family still winces about The Christmas of the Well-Done Steaks, a disaster resulting from one of Dad's life lectures gone long. We remember vividly the grey interiors of those 2-lbers, but nobody remembers what he talked about.
The first problem with a pre-sear—monitoring. We go to great lengths to know what's going on in there, by thermometer or finger-poke. But in order to effectively do this, the meat has to be accessible to test. When you create a crust at the beginning of cooking you're inserting a texture barrier between you and the area most critical — the center. To me and my touch-grilling brethren this means the finger meets a harder crust — at the very least making our tactile thermometers a lot harder to read.
That's bad, but this is worse:
Crusting the meat traps surface seasonings. Most of what was carefully applied before grilling gets locked up when it could have penetrated the steak via moisture flow. Pre-searing keeps the good stuff out better than it keeps moisture in. Salt and seasonings may taste great on the outside of your meat — but why stop them there when they can join the flowing fat deeper down?
The Pre-Sear History:
Science has long known the truth about searing too. The 1850s (and a German chemist named Liebig) can be blamed for birthing the "locking in the juices" theory – which has been believed through the days of August Escoffier himself - all the way to the beginning of the 20th century. But since the 1930s, experiments have repeatedly toppled the idea, in fact showing that pre-seared cuts actually lose more moisture due to the rapid destruction of cell structure early in cooking. Food scientist Harold McGee put it well — "The crust that forms around the surface of the meat is not waterproof, as any cook has experienced: the continuing sizzle of meat in the pan or oven or on the grill is the sound of moisture continually escaping and vaporizing." Contemporary mad scientist Alton Brown performed the same pre-sear myth-bust in an episode of Good Eats. Yet the myth persists.
Here's how to do things in the right order:
My favorite steaks are 2" bone-on ribs. These larger cuts of meat, in addition to having a flavor-boosting bone, excellent fat content and a balance of tooth versus tenderness, will cook slow and forgivingly on the grill due to their higher volume to surface area ratio. And they are dramatically carvable at the table.
Temper your meat. Bring it to room temperature or even a little higher (in a warm oven or high over your grill on a perforated shelf). Season about 30 minutes ahead of time. Apply a generous coating of coarse sea salt and a drizzle of premium extra virgin olive oil. If you like — and I sure do — push some minced garlic into the steak's larger fat deposits. Pepper one side if you're into au poivre. Keep a fresh lime handy.
Set aside a generous supply of the oil and seasoning mixture you used on the steak for your basting duties. Arm yourself with a brush.
Get your fire going while the meat finishes tempering. The grill should be at moderate heat for this thick cut of meat — you do NOT want high searing temperatures (those you cannot hold your hand over for three seconds) at the beginning of cooking or you'll end up with a burned outside over an underdone interior. Cuts of this size need time.
Place the steaks edge-down, upright and standing on the bone. You're going to leave them this way for about 20 minutes, or until the bone and immediate area around it are looking nice and browned. Baste the meat as often as you think about it with the extra oil and seasoning mix. Don't let the outside ever look dry. Use a fork or spoon to periodically taste the standing juices on top — that flavor is a sure indicator of what is going on beneath, season more if necessary.
Embrace the fact that there is moisture coming and going. It's a good thing. Stay aware of net loss, but don't think you can't intervene.
When the bone looks brown and sizzling, squeeze lime over the whole steak and drop it down onto one side. The lime's acid adds a complementary zing to the savory you've built in the meat. Depending on your grill, you'll do each side like this for about 7-10 minutes — keep things at moderate heat. Baste, baste and baste some more. When you turn the steaks, flip them to a fresh area of the grill surface; the first side will have cooled the metal under it. After the steaks are to the temperature level you like — using poke test (our family likens the touch of medium rare to the resistance of a perfect derriere) or thermometer — give another squeeze of lime, crank the heat up or throw a log on and give each side a good infernal sixty-to-ninety-second sear. The super-moist outside you've maintained with your basting attention will be transformed into a browned thing of beauty. Hold the steaks for a few seconds on their fatty opposite-side edge from the bone to get the outer fat melting, then remove.
Rest for for 7-10 minutes, then carve and serve.
Slow first, sear last equals perfect control. Don't try to "seal anything in". You're creating something — you want to season, affect things, make adjustments — until the very end. Now invite those expert friends of yours over and contribute your results to the demise of the sear-first myth.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Miami University softball team used some seventh-inning heroics to earn a 5-4 victory over Northern Kentucky in a non-conference game on Tuesday. The RedHawks improve to 16-23 on the season, while the Norse fall to 10-31.
The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was canceled when lightning and heavy rain hit the area. It was one out away from being an official contest with the RedHawks in front, 3-0, in the bottom of the fifth. Because they were unable to finish, it was ruled an incomplete game and all the statistics were thrown out.
In the game the teams were able to complete, NKU struck first with a run in the bottom of the first inning. The Norse starting pitcher Emily Schwaeble was pitching well early, striking out nine RedHawks through the first four innings to maintain the 1-0 lead.
Miami finally broke through with four runs in the top of the fifth inning. Kylie McChesney led off with a walk. Remy Edwards moved her over to second base with a sacrifice bunt. A single from Bree Lipscomb moved McChesney to third. Kristy Arbour walked to load the bases with only one out. Taylor Shuey followed with a single to center field, scoring McChensey. A sacrifice fly by Tiyona Marshall brought home Lipscomb and gave the RedHawks the lead at 2-1. Hailey Reed made it 4-1 with a single through the left side, scoring Arbour and Shuey.
Schwaeble would help her own cause with a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth that tied the score at four. Paige Myers came in to relieve Jenna Modic at that point, and she held the Norse off the scoreboard in the final two innings to earn the victory. She allowed only one hit, while striking out five.
With two outs in the top of the seventh, Shuey reached first after an error by the NKU first baseman. She stole second to get into scoring position. Marshall sent a single through the right side. Shuey went home on the play and just beat the throw to score the winning run for Miami.
Reed finished the opener, 2-for-4 with two RBI. Marshall was 2-for-3 with two RBI, while Shuey was 1-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored.
Miami returns to action this weekend with an important two-game series at Mid-American Conference leading Ball State. Saturday's game is scheduled for 2 p.m., while Sunday's game will begin at 1 p.m.

When we are bombarded by information and products, how are we as new parents supposed to decipher what is in the best interest of our child when it comes to their development?
Parents can quickly become bombarded with information about everything they need to do to optimize the first months of their child's very impressionable life. A new, overwhelmed, sleep deprived parent can find everything from music for math skills, swaddling positioners for longer sleep, bottles for better speech development, and even multiple equipment options to speed up a child's progression for walking. Today there are so many items available for purchase that if a person wanted to, they could go through an entire day never having to hold, cuddle, snuggle, whisper, sing, gaze, laugh, or touch their baby…..and that is exactly the point. When it comes right down to it, the best things that we can provide for our babies development has nothing to do with the "stuff"!

The ASPCA is excited to announce the launch of a new farm animal campaign focusing on the plight of chickens raised for meat (often called "broiler" chickens). Roughly 8.5 billion chickens are raised in the U.S. annually, most on squalid factory farms where there is no government oversight of their treatment.
The issue is not just the treatment of chickens, though: it's that modern chickens are selectively bred to grow so large, so fast, that they struggle to simply move or stand.
Today's chickens are bred to have such massive and disproportionate bodies that they often collapse and spend most of their lives lying helplessly in their own waste. Many have open wounds, which act as gateways to infections that can be passed on to people. Don't be fooled: Most chickens who wind up on American dinner plates bear no resemblance to the healthy-looking, active birds you may have been led to expect.
The ASPCA is calling on the chicken industry to do better—but to make sure they're paying attention, we need to show them that people like you care about how chickens are raised, too.
Visit TruthAboutChicken.org to learn more, then add your voice to the chorus of concerned Americans asking the chicken industry to change its inhumane practices.
By insisting on slower-growing chickens and better conditions, we can reduce suffering and raise healthier birds who may be less likely to spread dangerous infections like salmonella. But to get the chicken industry to move in the right direction, they need to see that people like you are paying attention—and counting on the industry to do what's right for chickens and consumers.
We need you on our side: Please tell the chicken industry it's time for slower-growing chickens raised in safer, more humane conditions. Speak out today by adding your name to our Truth About Chicken petition.
Dear Edy,
What do you think the chickens, cows, pigs, etc. who are brought into this world solely for our consumption eat? You didn't replace a layer of suffering, you just added to it.
No, we can't eliminate suffering, but we can certainly minimize it.
my cow's are 100% grass fed, can't say that bout the chickens, but it takes less space and animals too a point are good to eat anything
If you really care to debate this topic with people who will gladly take the time to throw actual statistics at you, you should move over to the Care2 web site. Although if you want to be taken seriously, you might consider a different name.
I don't believe that farmers in Georgia are any better than anywhere else. The way chickens are treated is disgusting & should be banned.
I strongly
believe that the way the chickens, like a lot of other animals, dogs, etc., are treated is thoroughly disgusting & they should ALL BE BANNED!!! Please tell me, who has the right to treat any one of GOD'S precious animals to be so cruel to them!!!
Thank you June. No animal on earth has been spared the cruelty of the human animal. I would go so far as to say no creature has been safe from man's greed and cruelty. Every animal feels fear, pain and love, and every animal has its own unique intelligence. I prefer to eat only fish and/or chicken twice a week. I am healthier than ever and the only member of my family who does not have high blood pressure or problems with cholesterol. Could very well be because I avoid meat from cows, pigs and sheep. My siblings all love their meat and that is their choice and I make no comments on their eating habits. But it is wrong to treat the animals we eat in such an atrocious manner such as goes on in Factory Farms.
I agree. Overall I think, we should not eat these animals and we will survive. There are other means to eat without contributing to the cruelty of the chickens and other animals. Yes, we are animals too but still I think that we are not supposed to eat other animals and diseases might give us a clue why we shouldn't. It's a never ending struggle and issue that could exist till the end of the world and it's unfortunate that it's the way it is, but it would be great if someday things will change for the better and we don't have to eat meat period! I for one would be all for saving all the animals. What if someday just for humor, the animals become the dominant of the world and we are now a part of their food chain, how do we react and how sad for us then or maybe that's the time we realize how they have endured the suffering all this time. It is almost true that if we only take a moment and think of the guy up above, he does not eat meat and maybe there's a reason there why he doesn't although it doesn't say in the bible do not eat meat or else. Lots of issues and suffering as we know it that exist from day one to this day, and sometimes you wonder why it's this way and how can we change the future to not have anything suffer I know it's impossible to come up with the right and fair answer. In the end I know that animals are God's children and if anyone can think of it that way then maybe there's a chance that we can save all animals which is I know it's almost an impossibility but I sure wish there's a miracle that can change things they are now.
Yes, yes, yes. If we cannot treat them humanly and give them decent lifecycles then we do not deserve to eat them.
YES! They are GOD'S children too!!!! Christ likens HIS love as a Hen's to it's chick and there are over 150 laws in the Bible against eating meat. also GOD does give us a PLANT-based diet in teh beginning, NOT meat!!! Animals were created to be companions and help-mates, created befroe Woman too! Also think about in the Manger, there were more animals there than people for Chrit's birth and GOD had Noah take 2 of every animal into the ark and out of ALL teh humans on the planet at that time only Noah's family were on teh ark, that says ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Christ is the LAMB of GOD and the DOVE of PEACE! there are also many verses stating how GOD blesses animals, etc.!
Farmers may be the salt of the earth but they're not GOD. They are being persecuted for their inhumane treatment of animals, whether it is by the universe or a supreme entitiy. Until they understand that animals have feelings and feel pain and stop thinking of them as just a "Meal-Ticket," they will never be blessed or happy.

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
I'm sorry to hear you won't be running any more tournaments, but I figured as much considering that you've stepped away from the sport. You always ran great tournaments, they were well organized and scores were posted quickly. It took a handful of us to run the CVO when you passed it off to us and you make it look easy when you and Julie did it.

I've been playing more in the past few months but I will not run another event. I'm ready to just be a disc golfer for once.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Wow that's a major blow to the sport,I hope the 2% that didn't appreciate Jeremy steps up to fill his shoes because their clown-size shoes and it's a shame. Jeremy helped me out when I was a new comer more then anyone I know and it was always a blast to play in anything he was involved in IMHO
haters gonna hate Jeremy keep on keeping on man I'll take 98% any day of the week piss on the other 2

DOE and Partners to Offer Prize for Efficient Lighting
June 11, 2008
DOE announced in late May that it plans to offer at least a $1 million prize for the development of energy efficient, solid-state lamps. The Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize competition, or L Prize for short, was authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and challenges the lighting industry to develop LED (light-emitting diode) replacement technologies for today's most widely used and inefficient lighting products. Specifically, the L Prize aims to find replacements for the 60-watt incandescent light bulb and the 4.75-inch-diameter halogen reflector lamp, technically referred to as a "PAR 38." ("PAR" stands for parabolic aluminized reflector, and "38" is the lamp's diameter in eighths of an inch.)
The replacement for the 60-watt bulb must use only 10 watts—an 83% energy savings—while the PAR 38 replacement will use only 15 watts, for an energy savings of about 87%. The winners must also meet a number of technical requirements relating to the warmth of the light, the distribution of light from the lamp, the dimensions of the lamp, the product lifetime, and the company's ability to mass-produce the lamp. A future L Prize competition will call for the development of a "21st Century Lamp" that delivers more than 150 lumens per watt (lm/W), much more than the 90 lm/W required for the 60-watt bulb replacement and the 123 lm/W required for the PAR 38 replacement.
The legislation authorizes prizes of $10 million for the incandescent light bulb replacement and $5 million for the halogen lamp replacement, but actual prize amounts will depend on future DOE appropriations and private funding contributions. DOE currently plans to contribute $1 million to the prize purse. For the winner, the real winnings could be much larger than the actual prize, because the legislation also calls for federal procurement of the winning LED lamps. The lamps will also be promoted by the four major utilities in California, thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding between those utilities and DOE.

Paul, JR Smith, Josh Smith are one of them but except Paul there is no players with real worth. If this happen we can sign Josh Smith and JR and put Gasol on C. I am sure if lakers lost in 2nd round dwight will walk away , I am sure that will happen.
We have 84 million in contracts next season without D12, we aren't signing anyone like that.

Hey guys, the CVO is shaping up to be a great event this year but we could use your help to push it over the top and make it even better! Here's how you can help:
- Be a spotter. If you're not playing we could really use your help as spot, and we always make sure spotters get something for helping out!
- Donate water.
- Fill coolers with ice at Vettiner and Seviren in the morning.
- Refill coolers between rounds.
- Donate discs and merch for CTPs. (Everyone's won a shirt that doesn't fit them or has a new disc laying around they don't throw).
- Donate mosquito repellant. Mosquitos have been a little pesky at Seviren and it would be awesome to have a couple cans of bug spray available.

A fierce competitor, Alyoshkina is very much a defensive anchor for the national team since she can match-up with dangerous opponents under the basket due to her size coupled with experience. She will be a tower of strength on the boards and especially offensively where her effective positioning should harvest either priceless put-back scores, or important second chance possessions. From time to time, she will come alive in a big way in terms of points production, as 22 points in qualifying against Hungary would testify, but it's very much her defensive capabilities which make her such a key cog in the Ukrainian wheel.

ORLANDO, Fla. - With a limited travel squad, the Miami University women's track and field team kicked off its 2013 outdoor season under warm, sunny skies at the Black and Gold Challenge, hosted by Central Florida at the UCF Soccer and Track Complex Saturday, winning one event in its debut meet. The RedHawks combined to post eight top-five finishes, as well, despite sending just nine competitors to the meet.
Although it was a small field, Miami faced tough competition at the season-opening meet, including the host Knights and Michigan, both of which are ranked nationally and finished in the top 15 at the NCAA Indoor Championships last weekend. Also in attendance was St. John's (N.Y.) and in-state schools Florida International and Jacksonville.
The RedHawks captured three of the top four spots in the 1500m run with junior Erica Howes (Fairfax, Va.) winning the race with a time of 4:37.96 for her first collegiate win. Senior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio) crossed in third in 4:43.53 while sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio) was right behind in fourth in 4:44.06 in the 12-person field.
In the 200m dash, senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) finished third out of 16, clocking a 2013 season-best 24.88. Freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) crossed in seventh in the 100m dash in 12.49 in her Miami outdoor debut.
Making their competitive return to the track for the first time all year and since being injured during the 2012 outdoor season, seniors Katie Scannell (Cortland, Ohio) and Diona Graves (Fenton, Mo.) claimed fifth and seventh, respectively, in the 400m dash in 57.75 and 58.19.
Allen, Baggett, Scannell and Graves then teamed up to grab third place out of seven in the 4x400m relay, combining for a time of 3:46.55, which was two seconds faster than any indoor 4x400m relay Miami ran this past season.
Miami's only competitors in the field events were throwers, led by redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.), who was the runner-up in the shot put with a heave of 13.92m/45-8. She also took fourth in the hammer throw with a toss of 51.80m/169-11 and eighth in the discus (41.38m/135-9). Freshman Amelia Strickler (Bay Village, Ohio) claimed seventh in the shot put with a personal-best throw of 12.79m/41-11.5, while she was also 11th in her first collegiate discus competition (39.04m/128-1).
The RedHawks return to action next weekend when they will once again head south to the Vanderbilt Black and Gold Invitational in Nashville, Tenn., where the rest of Miami's team will make its season debut March 22-23.

Nick Anderson doesn't believe in coincidences. He believes everything happens for a reason.
That's why it was so hard to pass up the next chapter of his life — and even harder to say goodbye to Kinston High and its football program.
Anderson, who coached the Vikings to the state 2AA title game in 2011, announced on Friday that he is leaving to take a teaching and head coaching position at George Washington High School in Danville, Va.
Kinston went 30-10 in Anderson's three-year tenure, making him third on the school's all-time wins list behind Sam Green and Ralph Holloway, who each finished their careers with 37 wins.
Even before the 30 wins Anderson, an Alamance County native, always wanted to find a teaching and coaching job near home. But it never happened.
Instead, the now 31-year-old who arrived at Kinston in the summer of 2010 by way of Greenville Rose, found work near Greenville, which became his second home while he attended ECU.
So to Anderson, who recently became a father, it's no coincidence that his parents recently relocated to the Danville area, and that a high school known for its football program needed a new head coach shortly thereafter.
It's all by God's design.
"Number one is family. I've always been a big family man, and it came in two parts. Half of that is moving closer to my parents, and the other half is my wife and my child and the financial standpoint of that," he said. "We're trying to build a future for our son.
"I'm big on things happening for a reason. God's got a plan for everyone."
After spending the first five seasons of his coaching career as an assistant with the Rampants, Kinston gave Anderson his first head coaching gig and did so with little room to plan.
Anderson was hired in early July 2010, and had less than a month to implement an entire new offense.
Kinston, a little over a half-year removed from its first trip to the regional finals, had no problem adjusting. The Vikings went 10-3 in Anderson's first season and finished tied for second in the Eastern Plains 2A Conference. They also reached the second round of the state 2AA playoffs.
The following season Anderson coached Kinston to the most successful public school season in modern Lenoir County football history. His team went 13-2, ran the table in league play and played for its first-ever state championship on Dec. 3, 2011.
While the Vikings came up short for the 2AA title in a 21-14 loss to West Stokes, it was still a season of dreams for the team and its coach.
It's been three seasons full of dreams, actually. And a hard three seasons to say goodbye to.
"It's giving me cold chills just thinking about them. There's been some very great times at Kinston. I'm really going to miss being there," Anderson said.
"It was so hard to stand there today and tell those kids that I wasn't coming back. That's something I'll always remember — how hard that was. This place, these kids, it's so special."
Anderson will take over for Bobby Martin, who left George Washington High in February after one season, and will be the school's fourth head football coach in the last five years, according to the Danville Register & Bee.
The Eagles went 8-3 last season and won the Western Valley District championship, according to the paper.
Anderson said the schools, Kinston and George Washington, are similar in terms of the type of football they play and the type of players each has.
He also likened Danville, which borders North Carolina about 15 miles northeast of Reidsville, to Greenville.
Next season, instead of his family driving two-plus hours to watch his team play, it'll only have to drive a few short minutes.
"A lot of it is very similar to Kinston, and that's kind of what is so great about this whole deal," Anderson said. "We're just excited about getting up there and taking with us everything we've learned at Kinston, and just converting it a little bit, to Virginia."
Now that Anderson is leaving, Kinston is left making plans for his replacement.
Athletic Director Perry Tyndall said that as of now the assistant coaches and players will continue their offseason workouts, and when the time comes he and Vikings Principal Angela Bryant will begin the process of looking over resumes and conducting interviews.
Tyndall was saddened to hear the news that his friend is leaving, but understands completely.
"I hate to see Nick leave, he's done a good job here, but I can't fault him for bettering his family. He did a lot for our program," Tyndall said. "Now we've got to move on and figure out what to do next."
Anderson feels that whoever takes his place is walking into a great situation, both program and school wise.
"It's just an appetizing job. It's just a great job," he said.
Anderson's departure means the area will have three new head football coaches next season — all in one conference.
Greene Central relieved former coach Ken Grantham of his duties last November after five seasons, and former South Lenoir coach Tim Jenkins resigned in January to take a teaching and coaching job at East Duplin.
Grantham took over for Jenkins at South Lenoir, and the Rams hired former North Pitt defensive coordinator Allen Wooten to replace Grantham.
The new Eastern Carolina 2A Conference will consist of Ayden-Grifton, Greene Central, Goldsboro, Kinston, North Lenoir and South Lenoir.
Anderson said he never thought of leaving the Vikings until looking at what, if anything, was available in the area his parents were moving to.
There was, and it's now time for Anderson to go home.
"I'm just big on that God has a plan and he's going to continue to guide you on the track that he wants you to go. He's going to open doors for you. It's not by coincidence, or anything like that," he said.
"There's a reason there were never any job openings where I grew up. God didn't want me to go there. He wanted me to go to Kinston where I could get used to big-time athletes so when this job opened up, and my parents moved up there, I'd already be ready."

What is carbohydrate counting?
Carbohydrate* counting, also called carb counting, is a meal planning tool for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Carbohydrate counting involves keeping track of the amount of carbohydrate in the foods you eat each day.
Carbohydrates are one of the main nutrients found in food and drinks. Protein and fat are the other main nutrients. Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and fiber. Carbohydrate counting can help you control your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, levels because carbohydrates affect your blood glucose more than other nutrients.
Healthy carbohydrates, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, are an important part of a healthy eating plan because they can provide both energy and nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and fiber. Fiber can help you prevent constipation, lower your cholesterol levels, and control your weight.
Unhealthy carbohydrates are often food and drinks with added sugars. Although unhealthy carbohydrates can also provide energy, they have little to no nutrients. Read more about which carbohydrates provide nutrients for good health and which carbohydrates do not in What I need to know about Eating and Diabetes at www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov.
The amount of carbohydrate in foods is measured in grams. To count grams of carbohydrate in foods you eat, you'll need to
- know which foods contain carbohydrates
- learn to estimate the number of grams of carbohydrate in the foods you eat
- add up the number of grams of carbohydrate from each food you eat to get your total for the day
Your doctor can refer you to a dietitian or diabetes educator who can help you develop a healthy eating plan based on carbohydrate counting.
*See the Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say the the words in bold type.
Which foods contain carbohydrates?
Foods that contain carbohydrates include
- grains, such as bread, noodles, pasta, crackers, cereals, and rice
- fruits, such as apples, bananas, berries, mangoes, melons, and oranges
- dairy products, such as milk and yogurt
- legumes, including dried beans, lentils, and peas
- snack foods and sweets, such as cakes, cookies, candy, and other desserts
- juices, soft drinks, fruit drinks, sports drinks, and energy drinks that contain sugars
- vegetables, especially "starchy" vegetables such as potatoes, corn, and peas
Potatoes, peas, and corn are called starchy vegetables because they are high in starch. These vegetables have more carbohydrates per serving than nonstarchy vegetables.
Examples of nonstarchy vegetables are asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery, green beans, lettuce and other salad greens, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and zucchini.
Foods that do not contain carbohydrates include meat, fish, and poultry; most types of cheese; nuts; and oils and other fats.
What happens when I eat foods containing carbohydrates?
When you eat foods containing carbohydrates, your digestive system breaks down the sugars and starches into glucose. Glucose is one of the simplest forms of sugar. Glucose then enters your bloodstream from your digestive tract and raises your blood glucose levels. The hormone insulin, which comes from the pancreas or from insulin shots, helps cells throughout your body absorb glucose and use it for energy. Once glucose moves out of the blood into cells, your blood glucose levels go back down.
How can carbohydrate counting help me?
Carbohydrate counting can help keep your blood glucose levels close to normal. Keeping your blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible may help you
- stay healthy longer
- prevent or delay diabetes problems such as kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage, and blood vessel disease that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and amputations—surgery to remove a body part
- feel better and more energetic
You may also need to take diabetes medicines or have insulin shots to control your blood glucose levels. Discuss your blood glucose targets with your doctor. Targets are numbers you aim for. To meet your targets, you will need to balance your carbohydrate intake with physical activity and diabetes medicines or insulin shots.
How much carbohydrate do I need each day?
The daily amount of carbohydrate, protein, and fat for people with diabetes has not been defined—what is best for one person may not be best for another. Everyone needs to get enough carbohydrate to meet the body's needs for energy, vitamins and minerals, and fiber.
Experts suggest that carbohydrate intake for most people should be between 45 and 65 percent of total calories. People on low-calorie diets and people who are physically inactive may want to aim for the lower end of that range.
One gram of carbohydrate provides about 4 calories, so you'll have to divide the number of calories you want to get from carbohydrates by 4 to get the number of grams. For example, if you want to eat 1,800 total calories per day and get 45 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, you would aim for about 200 grams of carbohydrate daily. You would calculate that amount as follows:
- .45 x 1,800 calories = 810 calories
- 810 ÷ 4 = 202.5 grams of carbohydrate
You'll need to spread out your carbohydrate intake throughout the day. A dietitian or diabetes educator can help you learn what foods to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat based on your weight, activity level, medicines, and blood glucose targets.
How can I find out how much carbohydrate is in the foods I eat?
You will need to learn to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in foods you typically eat. For example, the following amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods each contain about 15 grams of carbohydrate:
- one slice of bread
- one 6-inch tortilla
- 1/3 cup of pasta
- 1/3 cup of rice
- 1/2 cup of canned or fresh fruit or fruit juice or one small piece of fresh fruit, such as a small apple or orange
- 1/2 cup of pinto beans
- 1/2 cup of starchy vegetables such as mashed potatoes, cooked corn, peas, or lima beans
- 3/4 cup of dry cereal or 1/2 cup cooked cereal
- 1 tablespoon of jelly
Some foods are so low in carbohydrates that you may not have to count them unless you eat large amounts. For example, most nonstarchy vegetables are low in carbohydrates. A 1/2-cup serving of cooked nonstarchy vegetables or a cup of raw vegetables has only about 5 grams of carbohydrate.
As you become familiar with which foods contain carbohydrates and how many grams of carbohydrate are in food you eat, carbohydrate counting will be easier.
Nutrition Labels
You can find out how many grams of carbohydrate are in the foods you eat by checking the nutrition labels on food packages. Following is an example of a nutrition label:
Nutrition labels tell you
- the food's serving size––such as one slice or 1/2 cup
- the total grams of carbohydrate per serving
- other nutrition information, including calories and the amount of protein and fat per serving
If you have two servings instead of one, such as one cup of pinto beans instead of 1/2 cup, you multiply the number of grams of carbohydrate in one serving—for example, 15—by two to get the total number of grams of carbohydrate—30.
15 x 2 = 30
Cooking at Home
To find out the amount of carbohydrate in homemade foods, you'll need to estimate and add up the grams of carbohydrate from the ingredients. You can use books or websites that list the typical carbohydrate content of homemade items to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in a serving.
You can also weigh foods with a scale or measure amounts with measuring cups or spoons to estimate the amount of carbohydrate. For example, if a nutrition label shows that 1 1/2 cups of cereal contain 45 grams of carbohydrate, then 1/2 cup will have 15 grams of carbohydrate and 1 cup will have 30 grams of carbohydrate.
Eating Out
Some restaurants provide nutrition information that lists grams of carbohydrate. You can also use carbohydrate counting food lists to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in restaurant meals. See "Where can I find more help with carbohydrate counting?" for some resources.
Can I eat sweets and other foods and drinks with added sugars?
Yes, you can eat sweets and other foods and drinks with added sugars. However, you should limit your intake of these high-carbohydrate foods and drinks because they are often high in calories and low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans are wiser choices.
Instead of eating sweets every day, try eating them in small amounts once in a while so you don't fill up on foods that are low in nutrition. Ask your dietitian or diabetes educator about including sweets in your eating plan.
What are added sugars?
Added sugars are various forms of sugar added to foods or drinks during processing or preparation. Naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk and fruits are not added sugars but are carbohydrates. The most common sources of added sugars for Americans are
- sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit drinks, sports drinks, and energy drinks
- grain-based desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and doughnuts
- milk-based desserts and products, such as ice cream, sweetened yogurt, and sweetened milk
- candy
Reading the list of ingredients for foods and drinks can help you find added sugars, such as
- sugar, raw sugar, brown sugar, and invert sugar—a mixture of fructose and glucose
- corn syrup and malt syrup
- high-fructose corn syrup, often used in soft drinks and juices
- honey, molasses, and agave nectar
- dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, and sucrose
For a healthier eating plan, limit foods and drinks with added sugars.
How can I tell whether carbohydrate counting is working for me?
Checking your blood glucose levels can help you tell whether carbohydrate counting is working for you. You can check your blood glucose levels using a glucose meter.
You should also have an A1C blood test at least twice a year. The A1C test reflects the average amount of glucose in your blood during the past 3 months.
If your blood glucose levels are too high, you may need to make changes in your eating plan or other lifestyle changes. For example, you may need to make wiser food choices, be more physically active, or make changes to your diabetes medicines. Talk with your doctor about what changes you need to make to control your blood glucose levels.
If you use an insulin pump or take more than one daily insulin shot, ask your doctor how to adjust your insulin when you eat something that isn't in your usual eating plan.
Can I use carbohydrate counting if I am pregnant?
You can use carbohydrate counting to help control your blood glucose levels when you are pregnant. Meeting your blood glucose targets during pregnancy is important for your and your baby's health. High blood glucose during pregnancy can harm the baby and increase the baby's chances of having type 2 diabetes later in life.
Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes—a type of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy—can also use carbohydrate counting to help control their blood glucose levels.
Talk with your doctor about using carbohydrate counting to help meet your blood glucose targets during your pregnancy.

- What I need to know about Preparing for Pregnancy if I Have Diabetes
- What I need to know about Gestational Diabetes
Where can I find more help with carbohydrate counting?
The Internet has carbohydrate counting tools that let you enter a type of food and find out what nutrients the food contains, including carbohydrates. Try visiting these sites:
- www.diabetes.org/mfa-recipes/—a calorie and carbohydrate counting tool from the American Diabetes Association (ADA)
- www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search—an online database from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Lab
Many books about carbohydrate counting and meal planning for people with diabetes are available. The ADA has several books available for purchase at www.shopdiabetes.org.

- Carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy eating plan because they provide energy. Most foods containing carbohydrates also contain important vitamins and minerals. Many foods that contain carbohydrates are good sources of fiber, which can help you prevent constipation, lower your cholesterol levels, and control your weight.
- To count carbohydrates, you'll need to know which foods contain carbohydrates and learn to estimate the number of grams of carbohydrate in the foods you eat. Then you'll add up the number of grams of carbohydrate from each food you eat to get your total for the day.
- Foods that contain carbohydrates include grains, fruits, dairy products, vegetables, legumes, snack foods and sweets, and drinks that contain sugar. When you eat carbohydrates, your digestive system breaks down the sugars and starches into glucose.
- To meet your blood glucose targets, you will need to balance your carbohydrate intake with physical activity and diabetes medicines or insulin shots.
- Nutrition labels on food packages tell you the food's serving size, the total grams of carbohydrate per serving, and other nutrition information.
- Foods and drinks with added sugars are high-carbohydrate foods that are often high in calories and low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans are wiser choices.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases' (NIDDK's) Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases supports research in the areas of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Researchers are studying ways to prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes and better ways to diagnose and treat diabetes.
Research supported by the NIDDK has shown the value of making healthy lifestyle choices to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large clinical trial, studied people at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Some of the DPP participants were assigned to an intensive lifestyle change group. After 3 years, people in this group lost about 5 to 7 percent of their body weight by eating a diet low in fat and calories and getting more exercise. This modest weight loss cut their risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 58 percent compared with people in the placebo group, which received information only. People ages 60 and older reduced their risk by 70 percent. A follow-up study called the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS) found that 10 years after the DPP began, people in the lifestyle change group continued to have a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes. More information about the DPP, funded under National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial number NCT00004992, and the DPPOS, funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT00038727, is available in the NDIC fact sheet Diabetes Prevention Program at www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day writes, that Jan Serfontein and JJ Engelbrecht produced the best South African Super Rugby midfield performance of the year.
The Bulls reinforced the view that they are the most balanced South African team in this year's Super Rugby and Serfontein's introduction into the starting XV has transformed the potency of the team's attack.
The Bulls first half against the Kings in Port Elizabeth was as good as I have seen from a South African Super Rugby team this season.
The Kings were given a lesson in every aspect of the game in an opening 40 that showcased every quality that historically has made South Africa one of the great rugby nations.
The Bulls forwards, to the man, were colossal in the contact. They were dominant at the gainline and physically imposed themselves on a team whose physicality had been its strength for the last two months.
Halfbacks Jano Vermaak and Morne Steyn turned the physical superiority into playing superiority. Vermaak was decisive and played with variation and Steyn dictated and played with authority.
There has been criticism of Steyn's game at Test level, but in Super Rugby he is among the best 10s in the competition. He is the leading South African No 10 on form and there is no better exponent of front foot flyhalf play in South Africa.
Steyn's downfall at Test level has often been when his pack is negated and he is forced to conjure up the individual brilliance that defines New Zealand's Dan Carter.
Steyn does not possess those natural skills of Carter but then Carter in the last decade has been the exception to flyhalf play and not the rule.
The neutral tuning into the Bulls visit to Port Elizabeth would have been awed by the pace and precision of the first 40 minutes. This was South African rugby at its best.
I have always countered the view, held especially in Australia, that South African players offer physicality but are not blessed with natural attacking skills.
The very best Springbok teams have always been fantastic attacking sides. If you doubt the view do a search on YouTube and type in the Boks scoring 50 points against France in Paris in 1997. That's just one example of how South Africans can play if they are encouraged to trust their natural attacking instincts.
We have always had the players in South Africa, but we have not always had the belief in their attack or the patience in investment. The conservative nature of our coaches and supporters encourage a risk-free approach.
The Bulls in Port Elizabeth showed energy and enterprise. Vermaak's try should be shown over and over whenever anyone suggests South African players don't know how to attack and don't know how to make decisive offloads in the tackle.
It is my try of the season when I factor occasion, playing conditions and decision-making.
Serfontein, selected to start because of injury to Wynand Olivier, has added the missing dimension to the Bulls backs and he has also added something better to outside centre JJ Engelbrecht's attacking game.
Engelbrecht, originally a winger at Western Province, has made the positional switch to outside centre with the Bulls. I know Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer was initially very impressed with Engelbrecht, but the transition a year ago stuttered and there were reservations of the player's defensive organization at No 13. The criticism wasn't that he couldn't tackle but that he couldn't organize structured defence.
Jacque Fourie, as an outside centre, was among the game's most effective defensive organisers, and he was also blessed with the size and pace of most international wingers.
Engelbrecht is no Fourie but he has all the attributes to be Fourie's successor. There has to be an investment in him and it may come now that Serfontein is playing as his Bulls midfield partner.
The duo caused chaos against the experienced Kings midfield of Andries Strauss and Waylon Murray, and Engelbrecht was particularly strong defensively in the latter stages of the game.
Engelbrecht missed out on the end of year tour. He also missed out on Meyer's recent Bok training squad, but I don't see him missing out in June if the Bulls forwards sustain the intensity of Port Elizabeth and Serfontein and Steyn remain on his inside.
Jean de Villiers will captain the Boks if fit but Serfontein will get an introduction to Test rugby against Scotland and Italy and of all the South African 13's on display Engelbrecht is the one I'd be picking.
De Villiers and Fourie, at their peak, were the best midfield in the game. Serfontein and Engelbrecht, in time, could be even better.

As an analogy, you are saying something like the conclusion, based on scientific techniques and theories, that the generation of electro-magnetic radiation of certain wavelengths allows the propagation of information through empty space is not a scientific conclusion since it is used to develop radio technology.
You misrepresent my position. Since those wavelengths are "readily available, in an active state" the findings can be subject to "repeatable observation and experimentation." This makes the finding scientific.
In contrast, using tools, developed in a scientific manner, on subjects which are not "readily available, in an active state" creates findings which cannot be subject to "repeatable observation and experimentation." This does not invalidate the finding - it simply places it outside of the usefulness to scientific inquiry.
Ok, I will give you an example to hopefully illustrate why I think that position doesn't hold up under pressure. Events A, B, C, and D all are agressive actions that lead to a war of some sort between nations. You certainly agree that history deals with studying these causes and teh effects of such aggressions.
When someone says "when we go into Iraq, we will be treated as liberators just as we were in France after WWII". The hypothesis here is that the events leading up to the reception for US tropps in France after WWII are directly correlated with the military acting as "liberators" of a nation previously under governmental stress.
The observations are in two parts: one is that we were well recieved in France at that time as liberators and the other is that the events that lead to establishing us as liberators to the citizens in France have been replicated in modern day Iraq.
The prediction is that US troops will be seen as liberators of Iraq by the citizens there.
This is testable by simply seeing what happens. We now know that this was NOT at all what happened in Iraq, therefore the factors previously assumed true that established us as liberators of France are NOT actually being replicated in Iraq. The hypothesis was wrong and needs adjustments. Either the interpretation of the Iraqi situation was incorrect or the interpretation of what lead to our reception in France was incorrect.
Can you see how this is a direct application of history? In fact, it is the goal of history to make such studies in this manner. The object is to learn about the past to understand the present and to predict the future. So if this isn't scientific to you, despite intrinsicly using the scientific method and being the search for provable, testable facts, then what constitutes science? The way I see it, the methods for gathering information within history relies either loosely on science or exclsuively on science or soemwhere in between, but in no way can reliable history be established without any sceince creeping in, even if it was just establishing a timeline of interaction based on testimony. If the timeline doesn't add up, the testimony is ignored.
You seem to want to narrow history down to not include the methods of gaining the information it is seeking, ignoring the goals of history as it relates to the search for facts, and also beyond the point of application. The method for gaining the information is scientific and includes hypothesis, timeline scaling and adjustments, very often geology or archeology or other sciences that are seeking historical understanding.
And you say this isn't to be included in the definition of the discilpline itself? And you understand that the application is itself a hypothesis based on observations of past events (and their causal events) and make predictions and are tested and then affirmed or reformed, right? It just seems to me that you have narrowed your view of history to the point that it only encompasses non-scientific understanding…which I submit doesn't exist. Even testimony, if it is to be relied upon for historical recording, is examined scientifically and requires evidence.
