Harvey Scores 1,000th Career Point as Women's Basketball Wins Eighth-Straight in 69-52 Win over Barton; Host #14 Limestone on Saturday
February 12, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Senior forward Christina Harvey scored a game-high 24 points including her 1,000th career point to lead Pfeiffer University to a 69-52 Conference Carolinas womens basketball victory over Barton College on Tuesday evening in Merner Gym. The Lady Falcons boost their school-record win-streak to eight games improving to 19-3 overall, 14-3 in league play. The Bulldogs, suffering their worst loss of the season, fall to 15-6, 14-3.
Harvey the two-time reigning Conference Carolinas Player of the Week scored 16 of her 24 points in the first half as the Falcons soared out to a 37-24 lead. Pfeiffer (19-3 Overall; 14-3 Conf.) never let up in the second half and cruised to the teams eighth straight win since losing to BC in Wilson on Jan. 21. The two teams are both receiving votes in the current USA TODAY Sports Top-25 Poll and are now tied for second in the league standings.
A pair of made free throws by senior Janae Jackson gave Barton its only lead of 2-0 to start the game. Pfeiffer followed with a 9-3 run to take a lead it would never relinquish. Harvey scored seven consecutive Falcons points in the opening rally. Cox nailed a three-pointer at the 8:33 mark to double up the Lady Bulldogs 26-13. The trey by Cox was the Pfeiffers fourth made 3-pointer in the teams first eight attempts.
Four straight points by Barton senior Shante Neal that included a baseline jumper followed by a hook shot in the paint cut the visitors deficit to 30-19. Harvey answered with an old-fashion three-point play and then two made free throws for her 1,000th point to push the Falcons advantage to 35-19. Junior guard Nyeshea Willie responded with a three-pointer and a pair of free throws to once again inch the Bulldogs to within 11 but Harvey made a late layup as the shot clock expired with 14 seconds remaining in the half to lift Pfeiffer to the 13-point halftime lead.
Harvey and Cox accounted for 30 of the Falcons first 37 points scoring 16 and 14 points, respectively.
Pfeiffer opened the second half with the first seven straight points to extend its cushion to 20-plus points first the first time at 44-24. The Falcons lead grew to 26 points on two occasions and the hosts led by at least 17 points for the final 18 minutes.
Harvey notched her league-leading 10th double-double of the season with game-high totals of 24 points and 14 rebounds. Cox added a double-double of 21 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore Jodie Lemons contributed 11 points.
Willie scored a team-high 14 points for the Lady Bulldogs. Junior Cassandra Brown tallied a season-high 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting while Neal matched her with 10 points. Senior Elaine Morgan pulled down a team-high 12 rebounds while totaling game-highs of five steals and five assists.
Pfeiffer shot 44.8% including 33.3% (7-21) from three-point land. The Lady Bulldogs were held to 28.3% overall and a chilly 18.8% (3-16) from long range. The Falcons also won the battle of the boards, 43-38, and points in the paint, 34-18. Barton shot under 30-percent from the field for a fourth time in its last five games.
Pfeiffer returns to the Merner Gym on Saturday afternoon to host league-leading and nationally-ranked #14 Limestone College at 2:00 p.m. Live stats/video will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

- " Seeing as though this hostel is about 10mins drive (& not in walking distance) from the city I would have thought there would be a bar and at least a decent menu. I understand there is a pub on the corner, which the staff continuously told me to go to, however when you have had a long day, it is raining outside, the last thing I wanted to do was head down to the pub to relax. It would have been nice to chill and have a couple of drinks at the hostel. Also you need a better/healthy menu. "
- 16 Aug 2014 Julia New Zealand
- " Good hostel in a very nice location, but which is only reachable by car. The staff was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean. A big plus is the sink in the room itself which is very practical. The beds were not very comfortable but fairly enough for one night. Value for price is good. "

How is the blood-volume of an organism measured without killing it? NOTE: The blood-volume of an organism is defined as the total volume of blood present inside that organism.
It is easy.
Method A, simple, is based on "counting the fish in the pond" method.
G2 will be smaller than than G1.
Now from G1, G2, and N it is easy to calculate organism's amount of blood. You can derive exact formula yourself.
You can use ultrasonography (echography) to measure blood flow.
From the blood flow measurements and vessel dimensions you can then determine blood volume!
If you want a full explanation on how blood flow is measured by Doppler ultrasonography, make sure you ask the question to the right people. They'll help you with the technicalities.
Polynomial gives a good hint. By adding in a known tracer of known amount that should only circulate in the blood stream, the concentration of the tracer when completely distributed will give the volume of distribution.
If the tracer only stays in the bloodstream (and that's a fairly large IF), then the VD will be equal to the VBlood. However, as many pharmacologists know, interactions with proteins and cells can skew that number. The blood volume is also reduced by the volume of the blood cells. However, using Andrei's method of dilution, one can merely swap the cell counts with the tracer concentration.

Murphy beats Lakewood in opener of 3-game series
When the Wildcats finally took the lead, Lakewood was unable to do the same.
After trailing -- or tying the score -- most of the way, Archbishop Murphy took control of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Murphy scored a run on a Cougars' error and never trailed again, as the Wildcats defeated Lakewood 5-2 in the opening game of a three-game Cascade Conference series at Roman Miller Field.
"We have a philosophy that we want to win every inning," said Archbishop Murphy head coach Stan Taloff. "So regardless of what a team may score to start that inning, we want to come back and see if we can win that particular inning."
Lakewood struck first with runs in the top of the first and second innings, but the Wildcats immediately responded with runs of their own in the bottom halves of the first two innings. Archbishop Murphy's Trevor Morrison hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning and Camden Buchanan scored on a passed ball in the second.
"You can't be good when you're ahead and then just be a mediocre team when you get behind," Taloff said. "You have to play consistently all the way though because in baseball you're going to be ahead some of the time and some of the time you're going to be behind."
Both teams went scoreless in the third before Archbishop Murphy took its first lead in the fourth inning when Zander Clouse scored on an error.
The Wildcats (7-0 league, 8-1 overall) added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning on back-to-back RBI singles by Clouse and Buchanan.
Clouse finished the game 2-for-3 with a run scored and Buchanan went 2-for-2 with a run scored.
"The main thing is for every guy to maximize his at bat opportunity and that's the best you can get out of them," Taloff said. "And if you do that you have good things happen like they happened today."
Morrison continued a strong season at the plate and a strong career against Lakewood. The senior shortstop finished 3-for-3 with a home run, two doubles, two runs scored and was intentionally walked.
Cougars head coach Larry Delaney said he won't miss having to pitch against Morrison, who has committed to play college baseball at Oregon State.
"He's torn us up. Over the last two years I think he's like 11-for-13 against us," Delaney said. "... He's a quality ballplayer and it's fun to watch him play. I'll miss that aspect but I won't miss him standing in the batter's box against us."
In the field, Taloff praised his senior battery of Derrick Mahlum and Alex Galgano. Mahlum held Lakewood scoreless over the final five innings -- and struck out the side in the seventh.
"(Mahlum) kept the ball down really well," Taloff said. "He was close to the zone. He was around the plate the whole time. They were swinging the bat. It was a gutsy performance because he threw over 100 pitches and battled all the way.
Galgano stopped several tough pitches from hitting the backstop and helped keep Lakewood from scoring on a suicide squeeze attempt.
".... I think Alex Galgano behind the plate was exceptional defensively," Taloff said. "Not only did he throw a guy out but he read the squeeze play and with Derrick throwing the ball down -- which we want him to do -- it puts a lot more pressure on your catcher to make sure you block the ball."
That rundown came in the top of the fifth, when Lakewood had a runner on third with one out. Delaney signaled for the suicide squeeze play but the Cougar batter was unable to get the bunt down, and baserunner Hunter Fritz was tagged out.
"We couldn't get any more out of those scoring opportunities. Against a good team like Murphy you're only going to have so many scoring opportunities," Delaney said. "We got runners out there we want to try to put the game in motion. We rolled the dice and it didn't work out for us."
Shortstop Matt Seiber went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and a run scored for the Cougars (4-4, 4-5) who will host Murphy on Wednesday before closing out the three-game series on Friday at Archbishop Murphy. Today Lakewood has a makeup game against South Whidbey that was postponed because of inclement weather earlier in the season.
Delaney says the short turnaround between games will give the Cougars an opportunity to bounce back quickly.
"We have a makeup game against South Whidbey (today)," Delaney said. "That's the nice thing about baseball. It's not football. We don't have a week to wait around and think about it. We're right back at it."

Ridge Low GTX Men RRP $ 149.00
A low cut velours shoe developed specifically for climbing routes - robust, relieving, direct, close to the foot and the ground. With integrated memo foam and pre-shaped tab. Additional comfort and safety are provided by the tried and tested GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort Footwear membrane and the newly developed gripex™ IronGrip sole with integrated Sonar technology, flexible lamellas and a special cleat and rubber mix for better grip not only on the Via Ferrata irons.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

Earlier this month, the class of 2014 graduate films from French animation school Gobelins were published online. These seven 3-minute short films, each produced in five months, were conceived and animated by graduates of the three-year character animation program. As usual for the Parisian school, the work is sophisticated, expertly realized, and not to be missed.

Comments about Schwalbe Fat Albert 26" Tires:
This tire is one of the best tires I have ever ridden. I use it for anything from trail to Downhill racing and it performs exceptionally well everywhere in between. It is a little bit of a costly tire and heavy but if you are not "uphill oriented" then it is the best tire you can own. The compound is on par with Continentals black chili compound and it's tread pattern is top notch. Would definately buy again.

I really liked the ability to customize the card (changing fonts, colors, etc.). We were looking for a simple format, that could work with the photo we had already taken. The end result was perfect!

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With a full-frame 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and twin Digic 5+ processers that's capable of continuous bursts of up 12 fps – the fastest of any professional DSLR currently - the Canon EOS-1 Dx is the firm's flagship press camera. We've assessed it with over 100 EF mount lenses, to see how well they perform. Read on to find out which models are the best optically and which, if any, you should avoid.
In the first part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D, we've assessed a raft of primes from both the maker and third parties to see how well they perform on the camera. As well as highlighting the best performers we've also taken a closer look at the best on a budget.
Street photography is an appealing genre for many photographers, and has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the proliferation of small high quality digital cameras and lenses. We've put together a concise round up of moderate wide-angle and telephoto lenses from each of the major camera systems. Read on to see which of the models we've chosen and what to expect from them in terms of image quality.
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
In the lead up to Photokina 2012, Canon announced the new Canon EOS 6D full-frame entry-point model within days of Nikon publicizing their most-affordable full-frame camera to date, the 24-Mpix D600. While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor.
With its compact and lightweight body, the Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 is the smallest DSLR in the firm's line-up. While it adopts a similar performing sensor to the EOS 700D, the body is around 25% of the size of that model by volume and presents its own set of challenges when selecting lenses for it. In this review, we've taken a look at the optical quality of 130 different lenses fitted to the camera but this time we're also making some limited recommendations about the handling and video capabilities.
After comparing the imaging chain of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III across a raft of lenses, we've now turned our attention to the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor in this camera is similar to those of the same size and pixel count used in the firm's other models, including the semi-pro EOS 7D, so it may still be of interest even if you don't own a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.
After years of unadventurous, unexciting "slow" speed zooms "fast", high-quality primes are experiencing a comeback thanks to the popularity of full-frame DSLRs and the merging of video capture. The moderately wide 35mm focal length has seen numerous new versions from most lens makers over the last two years or so, including this ultra-high speed offering from Sigma. Read on to see how well this lens fares on the highest resolution DSLR currently available.
This is the first in a series of reviews rounding up the Lens Metrics Scores on 35mm primes for Canon, Nikon and Sony. We start by looking at options for Canon EF, and with several own brand and 3rd-party options on the market, there are plenty of choices available. Ranging in price from $320 to $1843, however, it's tough to decide which one is best for you. So let's take a closer look at image quality, features and value for money to help you decide.
The high-end Sony RX1 was one of the most eagerly awaited cameras in our labs and while we assessed the camera's full-frame sensor early in January, we've decided to publish the results of the Zeiss-branded Sonnar 2/35 T* lens. Readers will already be aware that it's fixed, and can't be purchased separately, but we can test it just as we would any other, albeit on one camera body only. Is this "fast", moderately wide-angle lens an outstanding performer worthy of the Carl Zeiss name? Read on to find out.
Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon's USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a 'fast' f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography.

I really hope Nikon makes something like this.
VR/IS is nice, but it seems like at the wide angle it's not as effective on Nikon's system because all the lenses that go wide with VR are slow (f/3.5 or f/4). I'd be very happy if they replaced the 35mm f/2D with something like this.

A hop over a concrete barrier left a man trapped about 10 feet down an uncovered manhole where he remained overnight.
His cries for help fell on the ears of a stranger walking to work just before 8 a.m. Thursday, who says God had instructed him that morning to take a different route to his job at a paint store.
That path took Ivory Floyd near the railroad tracks behind the Value Paint store in the 400 block of East Long Avenue, close enough to the manhole where a man identified as 66-year-old Ronald Ervin had spent the last 12 hours.
"I believe God sent me there to save that man's life," Floyd said moments after firefighters brought Ervin out of the manhole just a hundred yards or so away.
"I don't feel like I'm a hero," Floyd added. "I'm just an average, everyday person who listens to what God tells me."
Ervin apparently went straight down the manhole rather than landing on solid ground as he expected when he hopped over the concrete barrier. He was unable to use the rungs inside the manhole to secure his escape.
Floyd described looking down the manhole and seeing frost covering the top of Ervin's toboggan. When Ervin said he was thirsty, Floyd gave him a drink from the bottle of water he had stashed in his backpack.
"The first thing I told him was, 'God loves you,'" Floyd said.
Floyd told a co-worker at the paint store to call for help and then went back to the manhole to comfort Ervin.
Floyd told Ervin jokes while the two waited for rescue workers to arrive.
Firefighters arrived and assembled a steel tripod over the manhole, attaching a rope pulley system overhead to lift Ervin out.
The operation took just 20 minutes or so once help arrived.
Temperatures had dipped into the 30s and there was running water in the hole, Wright said. Rescue workers had to be concerned with injuries Ervin sustained in the fall down the hole as well as hypothermia.
"As cold as it is today, I'm sweating bullets," Wright said of his own adrenaline rush.
Wright was surprised to find Ervin able to talk and follow directions to help in his rescue.
"Human will is very strong," Wright said moments afterward. "Faced with adversity, the human body can overcome a lot."
This marked Wright's first manhole rescue, but it worked out much like his training experience indicated it would, he said.
All rescue workers have training to work in close quarters.
"You have to maneuver him and then it just takes brute strength to maneuver him and get him into the equipment and then get him out of the hole," Wright said.
Rescue workers said the man did not appear seriously injured, but he was taken to
City officials replaced the uncovered manhole within the hour of the rescue operation.
A rash of metal thefts have left manholes uncovered, said Matt Bernhardt, director of public works and utilities.
So far this year, about 50 of the cast iron manholes that weigh between 30 and 40 pounds each have been reported gone, he said.
"I don't know that that's the case here. We try to check our system regularly, but it's a very large system," Bernhardt said. "I hate that this happened to this gentleman. I hope he's going to be OK."
Rescue workers allowed Floyd to talk to Ervin as they loaded him into the ambulance.
"I just told him, 'Ronald, you hold in there. God's got you,'" Floyd said. "I really do believe that God saved that man's life."

There's like 1 and a half NBA starters on the floor right now for out team. I'm shocked we're sitll in the game as much as we are.
Rivers barely had a mid-range game coming into the draft. You expect him to develop one a little over a month into the season?
The biggest signing this team can make off-season is an offensive coordinator.
How could this team be so much worst than last year team?
One and only issue I have with Monty tonight: Playing McGuire over Miller. What the heck.
I keep waiting for screens to be run for Anderson, yet everytime down somebody has to go 1 on 1. No screens. Sad.
Man Hickson has looked extremely impressive so far.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Anthony Davis just boxed out...
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Davis is acting completely lost out there. Our guys aren't even acknowledging he is out there.
Monty didnt get this team prepared at all to play basketball this season . This team isn't competitive in most of their losses . I'm disappointed in how Monty approached this season. I haven't given up hope on him , but he has done a terrible job this season (I know he doesn't haven't talent , but that doesn't excuse the lack of effort & focus from this team)

Women's Lacrosse Burned by Rollins in Spring Break Trip Opener 20-9
March 12, 2012
WINTER PARK, F.L. - The offense for the Pfeiffer University women's lacrosse team didn't show up for the first leg of the spring break trip to Florida as 5th-ranked Rollins College scored a 20-9 romp on Monday night. The Tars out-shot the Lady Falcons 55-18 improving to a perfect 7-0 on the year while the 14th-ranked Black and Gold falls to 3-3.
Pfeiffer managed just two goals in the first 27-plus minutes of the first half scored by Sarah Daly and Shannon Bonnel. Britton Muir and Kristina Anderson would each scored in the final 100 seconds of the half while Anderson tallied hers with just one tick left.
Bonnel would hit again just over six minutes into the second half before Rollins went on a 5-0 run bolting out to a 16-5 lead and a running clock. Anderson would eventually hit again for the Lady Falcons while Rachel Hebberd, Liz Melesh and Kristi Korn would each scored in a three-goal stretch for the game's final goals.
Pfeiffer will return to action on Wednesday traveling over to St. Leo for a noon matchup with the Lions.

Obtaining and Comparing Bids
Once you've gathered the information, put it all together into a detailed description of the project; use this to obtain bids from at least three local electricians who do a lot of remodel work. Detailed job specifications ensure each pro is bidding on the same thing. If any bids are significantly higher or lower than the average range, ask for a price breakdown to see where the extra costs are coming in.

Local DREAMers are getting their driver's licenses.
On Monday, the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles began issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants who qualify for delayed deportation.
"When everyone has access to driver's licenses, the roads are safer," said Jeff Shaw of the N.C. Justice Center.
It's more expensive to have people driving without a license — and probably without insurance — than it is to provide licenses that come with an insurance requirement to protect against damage from a wreck, Shaw said.
"People are going to drive. People need access to cars to get jobs, to take care of their families, to get to schools," he said. "It's unrealistic to think that people aren't going to drive."
The Rev. Angel Ayala, of Restoration House of Mercy in Gastonia, said he's heard from young people eager to get their licenses, even if those licenses point out their immigration status.
Receiving a license means no longer having to worry about getting into trouble for driving illegally or trying to find a ride, Ayala said. They're just happy to have the chance to get a license and gain that freedom that comes with being able to drive.
The DMV reported 683 people received driver's licenses, permits or identification cards as of Wednesday.
Gaston County reported issuing 11 licenses Tuesday and Wednesday. Cleveland County issued one driver's license Tuesday, and Lincoln County issued one license Wednesday. Mecklenburg County issued 32 licenses Tuesday and Wednesday.
The licenses are available to immigrants approved for the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
That means all of the applicants are younger than 30, came to the U.S. when they were 16 or younger, and have been here at least five years.
They can't have committed any felonies and must be in school, have graduated from high school or been honorably discharged from the military.
Those who qualify for delayed deportation are often referred to as DREAMers because they also meet the qualifications of the DREAM Act, proposed legislation that would provide permanent residency for undocumented youth.
They must provide the same documents required by state law for anyone else seeking a license.
Recipients of the special license have to provide two forms of ID that prove age and identity, proof of residency, proof of Social Security, and proof of liability insurance.
They also have to provide proof of legal presence issued by the U.S. government under the childhood arrivals program. The deferral allows a two-year, renewable reprieve from deportation.
State officials first proposed issuing this driver's license with a pink stripe to denote legal status. That idea was eventually shot down.
The final licenses instead display the words "Legal Presence No Lawful Status" and "Limited Term."
Limited term means the license is valid only as long as an immigrant is granted legal presence in the U.S.
Shaw is opposed to having any kind of lettering or coloring that makes an undocumented immigrant's license different than a regular driver's license.
"I think as long as we decide these folks are eligible for licenses, it's wrong to give them 'Scarlett Letter' licenses," Shaw said.

Shepherd's Four Goals Lead Men's Lacrosse to 12-10 Victory at Lenoir-Rhyne
February 16, 2013
HICKORY, N.C. - Pfeiffer University got four goals from James Shepherd and held off a fourth quarter rally by host Lenoir-Rhyne to take a 12-10 victory in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The win keeps the Falcons unbeaten at 2-0 on the young year while sending the Bears to 0-2.
Each team traded first quarter goals, Stephen Patti for Lenoir-Rhyne and Steven Tilmon for the Falcons, before Pfeiffer scored five second period goal for a 6-4 halftime lead. Tilmon and Shepherd made it a 3-1 lead for the Falcons before Lenoir-Rhyne reeled off three-straight to take a 4-3 lead. Shepherd would respond with back-to-back goals late in the period while Derek Thomas added a final goal with 10 seconds left for the two-goal halftime advantage.
Pfeiffer opened up the second half with four-straight goals grabbing a 10-4 lead as Thomas added two more goals along with Tilmon and Kory Lutes. In the fourth, the Bears would score four man-up goals, including the final three, taking advantage of nine penalty minutes committed by the Falcons. Shepherd's final goal would provide insurance registering his final goal with 9:52 to play in the fourth.
Robert Hope would pick up thre assists to help the Falcons on Saturday while Mike Triolo scooped up 11 groundballs. Hayden Kirk would make eight saves in net for the Falcons improving to 2-0 on the year.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday hosting Roberts Wesleyan at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Live stats will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Session Clustering with Terracotta
Jetty has been integrated with Terracotta, providing a great clustering solution.
Since Jetty 6.1.12, the Jetty-Terracotta integration has been rewritten to provide better performance.
The Jetty-Terracotta integration is not bundled by default; it must be built from sources following the instructions below.
- You need J2SE 1.5 or greater to build and run the Jetty-Terracotta integration.
- You need Jetty 6.1.12 or greater.
- You need to install Terracotta, we have tested Terracotta 2.6.4 or greater. We will refer to the installation directory as
- You need to download this Jetty TIM (Terracotta Integration Module).
We are working on an updated version of the official Jetty TIM and update the instructions when the new version of the official Jetty TIM is compatible with the current Jetty-Terracotta integration. The official Jetty TIM will be downloadable from the Terracotta Forge.
Unzip the Jetty TIM and copy
Build instructions
- Download and unzip a source bundle of Jetty 6.1.12 or greater from here. We will refer to the installation directory as
- Build it:
- Copy the target/jetty-terracotta-sessions-6.1.12.jar you just built into
Jetty Configuration Files
Configuring Jetty to use Terracotta consists of creating a single TerracottaSessionIdManager per Jetty instance to generate unique session ids, and then setting up a special TerracottaSessionManager per each webapp that you want to be clustered.
The TerracottaSessionIdManager
One TerracottaSessionIdManager is configured per Jetty instance to generate unique session ids. These are the relevant lines to add to add to a separate
The TerracottaSessionIdManager is stored as an attribute on the Server instance for later retrieval under the name
workerName is a unique name for the Jetty node. In the example above it is "node1" but you can use any naming scheme you'd like. This is useful when hardware components such as load balancers can "stick" the requests to the same node to improve performances by limiting the session migrations among nodes.
The TerracottaSessionManager
Each web application whose sessions you want to cluster must use a TerracottaSessionManager instead of the default HashSessionManager.
The easiest way to do this is to create individual context deployer config files for each web application, and include these lines:
These lines ensure that a TerracottaSessionManager is established for each web application, and has access to the Jetty instance's unique TerracottaSessionIdManager we configured above.
Terracotta Configuration File
You need one Terracotta configuration file for each Jetty instance.
In the Terracotta configuration file, part of the configuration is needed to setup correctly the Jetty-Terracotta integration, and the rest of the configuration is needed to setup the Terracotta server and the web applications.
The base Terracotta Configuration File
The base Terracotta configuration file that sets up the Jetty-Terracotta integration is the following:
You can create a Terracotta configuration file wherever you prefer in the file system. The file will be referenced by path in a system property to be passed on the command line (see below).
Copy and paste the example file content above into, for example,
Modifications to the Terracotta Configuration File
There are few places that needs to be modified in order for the Terracotta configuration file to correctly cluster your web application.
- Modify the location of the Terracotta server.
The server element has the
hostattribute that needs to be modified to point to the host name or host address of the Terracotta server. In most simple configurations this can be the local host, but in more advanced configurations the Terracotta server is deployed in a separate host.
- Instrumented classes includes
If you web application puts in the HTTP session only instances of JDK available classes (such as
java.lang.String), then you do not need the instrumented-classes element.
In case your web application puts in the HTTP session instances of classes belonging to the web application (such as a domain
com.acme.domain.Userclass), then you need to specify also those classes as instrumented, for example:You can also specify class expressions to match multiple classes, as specified here.
- Web application contexts
You do not need to specify the context path at which the web application is configured, by defining the
web-applicationelements in the Terracotta configuration file, since the intention of clustering a context is already specified in the Jetty context configuration file.
Starting Terracotta and Jetty
The final steps require to start the Terracotta server and the Jetty servers.
- Start the Terracotta server (in one console)
- Start the Jetty instance (in another console)
The command line above assumes that the Terracotta configuration file has been saved to
$JETTY_HOME/tc-config.xml, and that the Jetty configuration file
jetty-terracotta.xmlis in its usual location under
Repeat this step for all Jetty nodes and you are done.
Do not forget to change the
workerName of the TerracottaSessionIdManager in each node you deploy (this is to help other hardware devices such as load balancers).
You can inspect that the clustering is working by starting the Terracotta administration console:
You should see one root named "sessionIds" and 2 roots for each web application named "sessionData:<context>:<vhost>" and "sessionExpirations:<context>:<vhost>".

Family runs July 4th dash in memory of Snohomish man
Family runs July 4th dash in honor of Snohomish man

Nelson Cobb, wearing an age-group winner medal, gets a hug from Gael Thomson, health and well-being director for YMCA of Snohomish County, after the Yankee Doodle Dash on July 4, 2010. Cobb, 74, died June 25 after a long battle with cancer. His family ran in Thursday's Yankee Doodle Dash in his honor.
They made good on that promise, running Thursday in Cobb's honor.
The Snohomish man died June 25, more than 10 years after first being stricken with cancer. Cobb was 74.
"This would have been his 13th race," said Gael Thomson, health and well-being director for the YMCA of Snohomish County, sponsor of the annual July 4th Yankee Doodle Dash in Everett. "I prepared a special plaque to give his family," said Thomson, who earlier this week planned to dedicate the 2013 race to Cobb with a short talk at the start.
The dash begins and ends outside the Everett Family Y on California Street, and includes 10K, 5K and 1-mile routes.
Cobb's daughter Renee Richards ran the 5K with her father in 2012. As his cancer progressed, his family knew he wouldn't be running this year's dash. Weeks ago, he planned to participate in a wheelchair pushed by loved ones.
Richards had assured her father that the family would carry on the tradition, with his spirit an enduring presence.
His son Tom Cobb remembered happy times. His father won medals for his age group, and wore star-spangled shorts for the festive race. "Those shorts were something else," he said Wednesday. Richards called her dad's Yankee Doodle Dash shorts "family famous."
Tom Cobb said his two sons, 18-year-old Toby and Tyler, 20, would be among the family's runners. They would all wear T-shirts with "Running by Faith" on the front and one of Cobb's favorite Bible verses on the back. "His faith was a big part of what kept him going," said Tom Cobb, an Everett firefighter.
Thomson got to know Nelson Cobb through a cancer survivor group, Livestrong at the YMCA. The 12-week program began at the Marysville Y, and later came to the Everett branch. Exercise helps cancer survivors regain strength lost during treatment. Thomson said the emotional support participants share is equally important.
Cobb, she said, was an inspiration to others. "Last year he did the most awesome thing," Thomson said.
Danielle Priore, who was in the Livestrong group with Cobb, had recovered from treatment and lost unwanted pounds. For the first time, she wanted to try a 5K, the Inspiring Hope Run in Mukilteo. It's a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which supports breast cancer research.
"He ran with her, even though he was struggling himself. He felt so happy for her," Thomson said.
"He probably shouldn't have run it, he wasn't feeling well," said Priore, of Lake Stevens. "We ran the first third of the race together, side by side. Then he said 'You keep going, keep going, keep going.' It was the nicest, most selfless thing anyone has ever done for me."
Richards said her father took up running in his 40s. He was retired from work as a framer in the construction business. He and his wife Sandra were married 17 years, and he leaves a large blended family of children, stepchildren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"For most of his running life, he was out on the Centennial Trail. He was a 5K, 10K guy. He once ran the Seattle Marathon," Richards said.
Cobb kept running after being diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer when he was 63, Richards said. He had surgery and thought he was cancer-free.
In 2007, his daughter said, he suffered back pain and shortness of breath. And in 2008, inoperable stage 4 cancer was found in his lungs and spine. Richards said he had chemotherapy and radiation, and ran when he could. "As soon as he could get up and do anything, he'd be out training," she said.
She said her father's real strength came from his Christian faith. "That was what kept him going, his personal relationship with God," Richards said. "That's where hope and healing come from. He was not a perfect man, but I watched God work in his life."
Priore, who was helped by Cobb at her side during her first footrace, said he was "one of the biggest motivators in my cancer journey."
"He was so strong. He never once complained. He was quite, quite a guy," she said.
A celebration of Nelson Cobb's life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Mountainview Christian Fellowship, 211 Sixth St., Sultan.

RICHLANDS — Teens from local Future Farmers of America chapters examined the red tractor and trailer they were going to have to drive through an obstacle course. Some looked concerned, while others were all smiles.
The students were competing in the 4-H Tractor Safety Driving Contest held at Richlands High School on Tuesday. The competitors were expected to back the tractor up and attach the trailer, back both down an alley and then maneuver through a figure-8 style obstacle with the trailer in tow.
Seven teens competed from Richlands and White Oak high schools for the titles of Best Driver and Best Team.
The individuals were scored on their time and how well they negotiated the course.
Steven Jarman, a sophomore with Richlands High School, finished the course in less than six minutes to take the individual title. Richlands High School was the winning team with the best overall score of 1469.6. The team score was the average of all the individual member's score.
"They get scored on safety," Melissa Huffman, field crop agent for the North Carolina Cooperative Extension in Onslow County, said. "It's not about how fast you can move through the course. It is how safely you can move through the course."
Wanda Mills, director of 4-H for the NC Cooperative Extension in Onslow County, said they all practice at their own schools but are faced with new equipment at the competition.
"This is the first time they get to drive this tractor and trailer," she said. "They don't get to drive the equipment they use to practice."
Alex Moody, a senior at White Oak High School, said that competitions like this are important to FFA members, or any other high school teens, because you get to see where you are skill-wise.
"You can find out what your strengths and weaknesses are, and you can improve," he said.
Hank Huffman, a junior at Richlands High School, said that these sorts of competitions are as important as knowing anything else about agriculture, something that FFA is all about.
"Agriculture is important because everyone needs to know where their food comes from," he said.
Hank said that learning about agriculture through FFA has helped him learn to renew natural resources, recycle and even learn some job skills. He is planning a career in farming.
Alex stressed the importance of agriculture, especially to the youth of America.
"Agriculture is everything," he said. "We wouldn't have the food on our table, the gas in our cars, etc. without it."
Melissa Huffman said that it is important for teens to be involved in agriculture in Onslow County because of the aging demographic.
"The average farmer is 56-57 years old" she said. "There is a handful of younger farmers, but not as many. By encouraging younger generations to become involved in agriculture, we will be able to replenish the generation that is aging out."
She added that if the rural areas of Onslow County want to continue to remain rural, the youth will have to get involved.
"There's been such a switch in education," she said. "We need people with vocational skills, people to keep America growing."
Alex knows it's up to his generation.
"The people doing it today won't be here tomorrow," he said. "We need someone else to take care of the land."

The bill extending daylight saving time until the end of October cleared another
hurdle Monday, passing a vote in the Knesset Interior Committee.The
legislation sets DST as beginning the Friday before the last Sunday of March and
ending the last Sunday in October.UTJ MKs opposed the change, explaining
that it will force people to pray before sunrise, which is religiously
problematic, because the sun will rise after 7 a.m. for part of
October.MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) also pointed out that there will be more
waking hours on Yom Kippur because of the DST law, making it more difficult to
fast.Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar (Likud) pointed out that existing
laws require employers to allow people to pray in the workplace, and as such,
there should be no religious problem with the bill."This bill has many
advantages, and the issue of morning prayer is not enough of a reason to oppose
it," he said. "As a God-fearing Jew, I think we there are solutions to
this problem."Deputy Religious Affairs Minister Eli Ben-Dahan said Bayit
Yehudi supports extending DST, because it is a social and cultural issue, not a
religious one.However, Ben-Dahan asked that an article be added to the
law that will allow workers to be late to work if they are saying morning
prayers.If such a change is not made, "workers will have to choose
between saying morning prayers on time or arriving at work on time, because most
workplaces do not have the proper conditions to pray in a minyan [group of 10
men] or with a Torah," he said.Still, Ben Dahan pointed out that this
only applies to 10 work days."Once again, we see that the Bayit Yehudi
is forced to vote against its conscience on matters that harm their voters and
not just haredim," UTJ MK Ya'acov Asher responded. "It can't be that a party
representing religious and traditional people, who pray before going to work,
doesn't protect that group's interests."

Last night I had several crazy dreams. One of my dreams an "ex" came over trying to be all cordial I can't remember what set me off but I told him off. Told him to take his paintings and to get out of my house so I would have him out of my life for good.
I also had a dream about a swim meet I was in but the weirdest part of my dreams last night was ending up at a nerd convention in a giant mall. There was a huge modern looking arcade with giant white framed screens everywhere. Other areas had costumes or toys you would never see anywhere else. In on of the passageways there were 5 to 7 guys carrying a huge box with a giant gandalf action figure. Everyone was crowding and trying to get a better look. I followed the men into an amazing toy store that had giant toys. They carried the gandalf to further inspect it behind this glass wall where I stood admiring the sculpting work to achieve such a piece. (While in my dream I knew the character was Gandalf it's not the Gandalf you picture from LOTR in a robe. He had long hair, a half of a wizard's beard, a warrior headband, and he was in great shape and naked like a greek/roman statue. The coloring was a dark grey marble looking stone color.) As the men were inspecting it they looked up and saw me on the other side of the glass like " what are you doing here?" and I replied how I was admiring the work. I woke up after that.
