WINSTON-SALEM — The first pre-game key posted in the locker room by coach Jeff Bzdelik became the lasting element that unlocked victory for Wake Forest.
Sound, determined defense — as Bzdelik identified before tip-off — helped the Demon Deacons grind past William & Mary 63-57 in men's basketball Friday night at Joel Coliseum.
"There's going to be nights where the shots just don't fall," Wake Forest guard C.J. Harris said. "And the only thing that gets you over that is getting stops on the other end, hustling, getting loose balls, rebounding and just gutting the game out."
Those qualities were what Wake Forest (3-2) had to rely on in overcoming a performance that never would be confused for a thing of artistic beauty.
Most notably among the adverse stuff, there were struggles on offense (40 percent shooting from the field) and a third straight stumbling start to a game, which, this time, resulted in a 13-point deficit in the first half.
But in the second half, after Tim Rusthoven scored inside to move the Tribe (3-2) ahead 47-46 with 9:22 remaining, the Demon Deacons clamped down, surrendering just one field goal and five points during the next eight-plus minutes.
Madison Jones' only bucket — he scooped an errant inbounds pass and converted a hoop in transition while absorbing a foul — put Wake Forest ahead to stay with 7:55 left.
Harris and Travis McKie scored the Demon Deacons' final 11 points, nine of them coming from the foul line, to build what was a 52-51 lead with 2:32 left into safer territory.
William & Mary coach Tony Shaver said what unfolded on the other end of the court created the most substantial difference in the game.
Wake Forest, adjusting and figuring out the flow of the Tribe's Princeton-style offense, switched screens throughout the second half and turned especially stingy down the stretch.
"Their size really bothered us when they did that," Shaver said.
"We switched (positions) one through five and it really took them out of their rhythm," Bzdelik said. "And it also manufactured some offense for us.
"We had some good looks. We just didn't make them. But that's why defense has to be a constant."
Harris' 18 points led Wake Forest. He scored 10 on free throws and went 4 of 13 from the field. McKie got going after a two-point first half to finish with 15 points.
The energetic contributions of freshmen forwards Arnaud Adala Moto (eight points, four rebounds) and Aaron Rountree (four points, seven rebounds, five blocked shots, two steals) emerged as bright spots for Wake Forest.
Both came off the bench and helped spark an 8-0 burst late in the first half, after the Demon Deacons slogged through the opening 14½ minutes and fell behind 24-11.
-- TIP-INS …: Bzdelik left his post-game session with reporters saying Wake Forest must take an analytical look at its approach early in games. The Demon Deacons trailed Iona by 36 points and Mercer by 11 in their most-recent games prior to Friday night. … Wake Forest went 3 of 19 from 3-point range, with Harris the biggest culprit. He missed all eight of his tries from beyond the arc. … Shaver liked William & Mary's 37-34 edge in rebounding but shook his head at the foul-line disparity in the second half. Wake Forest shot 23 free throws while the Tribe took nine. "Some of that's lazy defense on our part, playing with our hands and not our feet," he said. "Some of it may be a tough whistle, I don't know, but we had trouble keeping our guys on the floor." … Rusthoven, William & Mary's second-leading scorer and top rebounder, picked up his fourth foul with 5:06 remaining and fouled out with 29 seconds left. Three other Tribe players finished with four fouls.

Sarvey center's raptors still draw the eagle eye of kids
A display of its birds of prey in Snohomish impresses kids as the wildlife center continues to request financial support.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Sarvey Wildlife Center volunteer Robert Lee holds a red-tailed hawk with only one wing Friday at the Snohomish Library. Having lost a wing, the hawk will remain at Sarvey for the rest of its life, Lee said.
Dan Bates / The Herald
To the amazement of children, Sarvey Wildlife Center's David Storm holds a 12-pound bald eagle named Askate over his head, Friday, during a program about birds of prey at the Snohomish Library.

Sarvey wildlife Center's David Storm introduces a peregrine falcon named Isda to a room full of children and parents during a program about birds of prey at the Snohomish Library on Friday.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Prior to the program, children lined up at the doorway try to glimpse the wild raptors as Sarvey Wildlife Center volunteers bring the large animal carriers into a room for an educational showing of birds of prey at the Snohomish Library Friday.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Sarvey Wildlife Center volunteer, Robert Lee brings out a great horned owl for children to see and ask questions about during a program about birds of prey at the Snohomish Library on Friday.
Eight-year-old Lily Westman and her brother, Cooper, 6, were first in line last week, waiting for the doors to open for the "Raptor Factor" show. They were eager to see all of the birds, but hoped to see a bald eagle.
"I want to know how they take care of them," said Cooper, who goes to Cascade View Elementary School.
The show is put on by the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, a nonprofit located between Arlington and Granite Falls that rescues, treats and releases wild animals. It's one of the outreach efforts by the center that has been around since 1981.
Last month, the center announced that it was having financial difficulties. The center has an operating budget of about $450,000 a year, but donations have been down. Director Suzanne West said last month the center needed $95,000 to continue to care for animals, keep the doors open and continue their programs.
In the last couple of weeks, however, the center has seen an increase in donations and new donors have also appeared. The shortfall has been reduced to $50,000.
"We are still feeling the crunch," West said. "We have been able to tighten our belts and we have received additional funding."
Jennifer Cutshall, 44, of Snohomish, heard about Sarvey's financial problems. She's hoping that people step up to help out the center. She's seen the raptor show herself. On Friday she brought her youngest son, Isaac Tavares, 4, for the first time.
"It's a good chance to see these birds this close," Cutshall said.
They were about 75 kids, parents, grandparents and others who attended the show and learned about the barn owl, great horned owl, red-tailed hawk and peregrine falcon.
The children asked questions about the birds, such as the length of their wings and how fast they could fly. They were amazed when some of the birds spread their wings.
Most of them gasped when volunteers took out the last bird of the show: a bald eagle named Askate.
Seeing the animal was the favorite part of 5-year-old Kaylee Broome who goes to kindergarten at Machias Elementary School.
"It was so cool," Kayle said.
More about Sarvey
The Sarvey Wildlife Center is located at 13106 148th St. NE, near Arlington.
For more information on the center, including how to donate and what to do if you find an injured or orphaned animal, go to www.sarveywildlife.org/ or call 360-435-4817.

Turnaround Management
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core, for those not in the MBA program, graduate student status and instructor's permission
This course is dedicated to learning about the process of how distressed companies are turned around. Learning about this process is important as corporate turnarounds are becoming a much more common phenomenon and MBA students may be exposed to this as a manager, consultant, or creditor. There are three segments to the course. First, students are exposed to the world of turnaround management and the skill of diagnosing a distressed situation. The second part of the course explores critical short-term turnaround activities, primarily cash control, negotiations with creditors, and consideration of bankruptcy. The third topic is the recovery stage which involves shifts in corporate, marketing, and operational strategies. The course is taught through lecture, case studies, guest speakers, and an ongoing live field project. Cases involve real companies facing turnaround situations. Team-based projects are also involved.
U.S. News & World Report ranked Kelley's graduate entrepreneurship program in the top 10 out of all universities in the nation in 2013.

Two weeks ago, Chance Ramsey was driving down Peach Street when he saw what looked like a large dog near the BP Gas Station.
It wasn't until he got closer that he realized it was a bear.
"It was a young bear but looked old enough to just be leaving the care of its parents," Ramsey wrote in an email to The Star .
He said the large animal crossed the street "as calm as could be" and then walked off into the woods.
It was his first bear encounter.
Although black bears are not as commonly sighted in Cleveland County as they are in the Asheville or the Western Rutherford area, sightings are on the rise in the county.
"They're not plentiful in Cleveland County but they're gradually working their way in that direction," said Danny Ray, district biologist with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
Ray said there are eight to 10 sightings a year.
And Ramsey's isn't the only bear sighting in the middle of Shelby.
'That's right here in the city'
Marguerite Mebane, president of the Cleveland County Humane Society, said she received a call Wednesday morning about a mother bear and cub spotted on Cabaniss Drive.
"That's right here in the city," Mebane said. " People need to be aware and steer clear."
On The Star's Facebook, readers reported seeing the animals in the Boiling Springs area, off Stony Point Road and Fallston Road.
Ray said it's not unusual for humans and bears to cross paths. He said he has heard reports of bears in the middle of Charlotte, Gastonia and other large cities.
'People are seeing them usually for a reason'
Isaac Hannah, a NC wildlife officer, said seeing bears is like seeing any other wild animal.
Most of the time they are passing through and pose no risks to humans.
Sometimes, people unintentionally attract the animals.
"People are seeing them usually for a reason," Hannah said. "Theres a food source, something's drawing them out to where they are."

Reid advances to National Championship
May 6, 2009
Howey-in-the-Hills, FL Charlene Reid (Ballymoney, Ireland) led the Pfeiffer womens golf team by shooting eight over par throughout three days of the NCAA womens golf regional tournament to qualify for the NCAA National Championships. Reid carded a 224 (73-75-76) to be the lowest scorer among the top three individuals not with a team that advance to the championships. Reid is a 2009 Conference Carolinas first team All-Conference selection and All-Tournament team member. She will be joined by Catawba Colleges Kelsey Babos (78-73-75=226) and Florida Techs Daniela Iacobelli (78-77-72=227) as individual competitors.
Nova Southeastern University (912), Florida Southern (915), and Rollins College (918) took the top three spots to advance to the national championships.
Conference Carolinas 2009 first team All-Conference and All-Tournament selection Brittany Beltran (Sacramento, CA) ended her college career tied for 21st place after marking a 240 (82-79-79). Sophomore Jackie McMenimon (Easton, MA) landed in 43rd place with a 266 (92-85-89), while freshman Elizabeth Johnson (Asheboro, NC) carded a 280 (90-94-96) to finish in 47th place. Unfortunate circumstances involving the signing of a score card led to the disqualification of freshman Chelsea Demers (Wilton, NH) in the second round.
The 2009 NCAA Division II Womens Golf Championships will be held May 13-16, at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. The championships will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently. All participants will compete throughout the entire 72 holes of competition.

Gears of War Impressions Roundup 22
Posted by Zonk
from the tip-of-the-hat-to-cliffyb dept.
from the tip-of-the-hat-to-cliffyb dept.
As excited as folks got at the Halo 3 trailer, the 360 game I've enjoyed seeing coverage of at this year's E3 is Epic's Gears of War. From GameSpy's hands-on piece: "While many third-person shooters are run 'n gun affairs, Epic likes to say that the emphasis in Gears of War is on a 'stop 'n pop' style of play. This means that, rather than running directly into the action, players are better off using cover to proceed across the war zone. Using said cover is a breeze in Gears, thanks largely to the 'All button,' which is mapped to the Xbox 360's A button. Once you're facing cover, a quick press of the A button will slam you into place, out of harm's way, and pressing it again will pull you away." More impressions below if you Read More.

SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance (Paperback)
The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the "freakquel" is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first.
SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department store Santa? Who adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Did TV cause a rise in crime? Can eating kangaroo meat save the planet?
Whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically, Levitt and Dubner show the world for what it really isgood, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, superfreaky.
About the Author
Steven D. Levitt is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal, awarded to the most influential economist under the age of forty. He is also founder of The Greatest Good, a company that applies Freakonomic principles to philanthropy and business.

Good Evening!
I am new to this site. I am assuming Mike Eastman views and posts on this forum. Hopefully he does and he can reply to me. . . . or for that matter, anyone is welcome to provide their .02.
I am most of the way through reading his book, Hunting Trophy Antelope. I did not see anywhere where he mentioned preferred calibers for hunting antelope. What is the preferred caliber? I shoot my .22-250 a lot at coyotes. Would that be sufficient?
My second question is that there was very little about taking the wind into consideration (from a scent standpoint). Are their noses as good as a whitetails? Or do they primarily rely on the eyes and scent is not as big of an issue.

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
School bus safety
Those familiar yellow and black vehicles are the safest form of transportation in the country, considering the many miles and the travel conditions buses undergo to transport children to and from school, sports and other events.
This is due, in large part to the many safety features built into school buses. School buses are designed to take a great deal of impact, not to crush in event of roll over, and to cushion children with compartmentalization between the seats in the event of a crash or a fast stop.
Definition of a school bus
In Wisconsin, a school bus is a motor vehicle which carries 10 or more passengers in addition to the operator, or a motor vehicle painted with legally required school bus markings, glossy school bus yellow trimmed in black, for the purpose of transporting:
- Pupils to or from a public school or a private school or pupils to or from a technical college when required.
- Pupils to or from curricular or extracurricular activities.
- Pupils to or from religious instruction on days when school is in session.
- Children with disabilities to or from an educational program approved by the department of public instruction.
A school bus can also be a motor vehicle that is painted with legally required school bus markings and is used for the purpose of transporting disabled persons or elderly persons in connection with any transportation assistance program for elderly or disabled persons.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); to help guide and/or monitor treatment of APL or to monitor for recurrence
When to Get Tested?
When you have results of a CBC and/or signs and symptoms that suggest that you may have leukemia; periodically when you are being treated for APL and/or when you are in remission
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a bone marrow sample collected using a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy procedure
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor alpha or PML-RARA refers to an abnormal gene sequence that is associated with a specific type of leukemia. This test detects and measures PML-RARA in the blood or bone marrow to determine if an individual has acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). PML-RARA represents the rearrangement of genetic material on two chromosomes.
Humans normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of non-sex-determining chromosomes (also known as autosomes) and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females, XY for males). Chromosomes contain a person's inherited genetic information. The genes that reside there form the blueprints for the production of thousands of proteins. Sometimes changes can occur to a person's chromosomes and/or genes during their lifetime because of exposures to radiation, toxins, or for unknown reasons.
The PML-RARA gene sequence is one such acquired change (mutation) that is formed when pieces of chromosome 15 and chromosome 17 break off and switch places. The PML gene region in chromosome 15 then fuses with the RARA gene region in chromosome 17. This is referred to as reciprocal translocation, and this particular one is commonly expressed as t(15;17).
Normally, the PML gene codes for a protein that helps prevent uncontrolled cell growth and acts as a tumor suppressor. The RARA gene codes for a protein that is crucial for white blood cell (WBC) maturation, as these cells typically develop through several stages in the bone marrow before release into circulation. The mutated PML-RARA fusion gene codes for an abnormal fusion protein that does neither of these functions but instead leads to the uncontrolled production and accumulation of leukemic WBCs that do not mature or differentiate beyond the promyelocyte stage. As a large number of these abnormal cells start to crowd out the normal blood cell precursors in the bone marrow, signs and symptoms of leukemia start to emerge.
Up to 98% of cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia have a characteristic t(15;17) PML-RARA reciprocal chromosomal translocation. Occasionally, cases of APL have translocations involving the RARA gene and genes other than PML.
Testing detects the PML-RARA fusion gene or its transcripts, the RNA copies made by the cell from the abnormal gene sequence of DNA. The presence of the PML-RARA abnormality helps confirm the diagnosis of APL.
Testing can also help guide cancer therapy. Treatment of APL typically involves all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a drug that binds to retinoic acid receptors on cells. The drug can overcome the effect of the abnormal PML-RARA protein and allow the WBCs to continue maturing. This therapy works well in conjunction with chemotherapy but only in those cases where the PML-RARA fusion gene is present. The treatment results in remission in about 80-90% of these patients, according to the American Cancer Society. A small percentage of people with APL have a fusion between the RARA gene and a different gene, and they may or may not benefit from ATRA therapy dependending upon the specific gene involved.
There are several different types of PML-RARA tests available, including:
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
This test method uses fluorescent dye-labeled probes to "light up" the PML-RARA gene sequence when it is present. This method also determines the percentage of blood or bone marrow cells that contain the abnormal, fused PML-RARA gene. FISH can also be used to detect the variant translocations involving RARA and genes other than PML. This may help identify ATRA-resistant rearrangements.
- Genetic molecular testing
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based tests detect and quantify PML-RARA gene transcripts, or gene product units, in a person's blood and/or bone marrow samples. The PML-RARA PCR test is quantitative, that is, it provides a general estimate of the number of PML-RARA gene sequences present.
- Chromosome analysis (cytogenetics or karyotyping)
This test method involves the evaluation of a person's chromosomes under a microscope to detect structural and/or numerical abnormalities. Cells in a sample of blood or bone marrow are examined to determine if the PML-RARA t(15;17) chromosome translocation is present. Other chromosomal abnormalities, such as translocations involving the RARA gene and genes other than PML can also be detected.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or a bone marrow sample is collected using a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy procedure.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. – The Miami University golf team had a strong start to the FAU Spring Break Championship on Friday, shooting a team score of 12-over par 293. The RedHawks are tied for sixth place, and are only four shots out of third. Hartford leads the tournament at one-over par.
Junior Austin Kelly led the way for the RedHawks with a season-low round of two-under par 69. He was the sole leader of the event at one point and finished the day tied for second. Kelly is only one shot behind Evan Russell of Hartford, who is at three-under par.
Making his collegiate debut, freshman Bud Radis carded a round of three-over par 74 and is tied for 28th. Sophomore Scott Cahill shot a five-over par round of 76 and is tied for 43rd place. Sophomore Luke Shaughnessy is tied for 53rd after scoring a six-over par 77, while senior Brett Tomfohrde rounds out the RedHawks in 71st with an eight-over par 79.
"I think we played with a lot of confidence today, which was a big improvement for us and I was excited to see that," said head coach Zac Zedrick. "Austin played really well, but we just didn't finish as well as we would have liked as a team. However, there was a lot of good that came out of this round. If we clean things a little big coming in, then we can make up some ground tomorrow."
The FAU Spring Break Championship continues Saturday with the second round.

Men's Soccer Wins Fifth-Straight; Blanks Barton 4-0
October 6, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. An offensive output with 27 shots, 17 on goal, pushed Pfeiffer University past Barton College 4-0 in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Tuesday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The Falcons put a pair of goals in during each half, advancing their win streak to five-straight matches and their overall record to 8-3, 5-1 in the conference. Bartons setback dips them to 3-9, 1-5.
In the initial 45 minutes of action, Alex Landim (Brockton, MA) struck first with his fourth goal of the season in the 18th minute. Wilver Menacho (Charlotte, NC) helped set up Landim with his sideline throw in. Nick Brindley (Northampton, ENGLAND) gave the Falcons a two-goal advantage with his fourth strike of the year in the 25th minute from a Johannes Tisell (Molndal, SWEDEN) cross.
Just 40 seconds into the second half, senior Kash Knight delivered his team-leading ninth goal of the year with a tap-in past Barton keeper Brian Riesenberg (Fort Thomas, KY) on a cross inside the box set up by Brandon Stubbs (Milledgeville, GA). Scoring on the afternoon wrapped up with Tisell tossing in an unassisted goal, his second of the season, in the 50th minute.
Alex Moreno (Huntersville, NC) earned the clean sheet in goal for Pfeiffer stopping all five shots on goal. Lloyd ONeill led the Bulldogs with three shots, two on net. Riesenberg made 13 saves for Barton.
The Falcons will now look to improve on their five-game winning streak during the next match which takes place on Saturday at Chowan. Pfeiffer briefly steps out of conference play on Saturday for a 3:00 p.m. match.

MARK KEOHANE writes Sunday will follow Saturday, regardless of whether the Springboks win or lose against the All Blacks in Dunedin. Which makes the conservatism and approach of the Bok management that much more baffling.
I could understand a coach refusing to change in his fourth year, a few months out from a World Cup. I could understand a coach refusing to change a winning formula, if his team was consistently winning and setting the standards. I can't understand the absolutes associated with Heyneke Meyer and his Springboks in his first season in charge.
Meyer is going nowhere unless by his own accord. But his refusal to recognize, alternatively acknowledge restrictions in the Springboks' first six Tests is making his life a lot more complicated than it has to be. There is pressure on Meyer, as there will be on any Springbok coach, but Meyer has turned up the heat himself in his response to successive indifferent Bok performances against Argentina in Mendoza and Australia in Perth.
The Bok coach has insisted that it is not his team's tactical approach or the game plan that has counted against the Boks, but instead has focused on poor execution as being more definitive.
I disagree totally because the approach evident since the drawn third Test against England in Port Elizabeth has been one-dimensional, predictable and hugely unsuccessful because by and large the Boks' pack has not fashioned a dominance which allows for a purely percentage based game.
There can never be a guarantee at Test level of forward dominance because of the relatively similar strengths of the top five teams, and the better teams often have to rely on winning with little ball possession. It is here where South Africa has shown no threat. In Mendoza they were just awful. In Perth when they had an initial edge up front, the kicking game proved effective. The moment they lost that momentum they looked clueless and ironically when they went behind late in the game after leading 13-3 after 30 minutes they finally produced their most inventive period of play.
Johan Goosen, at flyhalf, was very instrumental to this ball movement, largely because he takes the ball at pace, is prepared to stand flat on attack and will take contact. He is the complete opposite of Morne Steyn, who just doesn't play that way. For Steyn to be successful the Bok pack has to be decidedly better than the opposition. A few years ago they were when blessed with Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha, Bismarck du Plessis, John Smit, Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, Danie Rossouw and the like. And then there was the massive influence of the world's best scrumhalf Fourie du Preez on his inside.
Du Preez's tactical kicking is unrivaled among scrumhalves and the Boks have had neither Du Preez's kicking game nor his appreciation of game management this season. Meyer is hopeful Du Preez will return to international rugby by the end of the year or at the latest in 2013.
Steyn, in isolation, is not the Boks' current problem, but currently he is also not the genie in the bottle. The Bok forwards in Port Elizabeth a year ago gave the All Blacks a touch up, had every advantage in the collisions and forced the Kiwis into errors and created the opportunities for Steyn to have five penalty kicks at goal and favourable go forward ball from which to also land a drop goal.
Steyn in Port Elizabeth enjoyed a pack in fiercely dominant mood. But for brief periods in the first two Tests against England the Bok pack has competed at best or been outplayed.
Until the pack improves Steyn will be a non-factor at flyhalf, as will the outside backs as a unit.
What I don't buy is that while Meyer tries to find a forward unit capable of this dominance there is no flexibility in finding alternative ways of dominance. It is also nonsense that a 20 year-old (read Goosen) can't start against the All Blacks in Dunedin. If he isn't good enough to start then he shouldn't be in the match 22 because there is no guarantee he isn't required a minute into the Test because of injury.
I have read comparisons being made with Gaffie du Toit's nightmare in Dunedin and a fear of things going the same way for Goosen. Nonsense. Du Toit had already played for the Boks in the home series win against Ireland. The Bok coach of the time Nick Mallett appreciated Du Toit's natural ability but from the outset had concerns about the mental resolve of the player. He had to play him in Dunedin to get an answer.
Goosen's mental resolve has never been questioned. He went from school rugby to Currie Cup to Super Rugby with no issues. And his Test debut of nine minutes showed huge promise and he showed comforting composure.
I would have not hesitated to give him a start. What an experience for the player. Saturday is not a World Cup final or the decider of this year's Castle Rugby Championship. Why can't there be supposed risk? What is there to lose?
Steyn has played 40 Tests, including a World Cup in New Zealand and Test matches against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Meyer knows what he has in Steyn and by entrusting an alternative in Goosen or Lambie all he would have done is see if there is a Plan B or additional depth at No 10. Now he won't know until the next visit to New Zealand in a year. That is what has been so damn frustrating about the unwillingness to view an alternative. If he had picked Goosen or Lambie and it hadn't worked out, then he reverts to the man who has played 40 Tests.
Meyer remains committed to Steyn, espouses the virtues of the player and defends how well Steyn is playing, but that is also nonsense. Steyn's goalkicking accuracy is 63 percent in the last six Tests, and Meyer would not have allowed Goosen, Lambie or Elton Jantjies six successive Tests with such a return.
And it is here where Meyer is doing himself no favours because you can't defend 63 percent, when the player's primary asset has been his ability to kick at 85 percent.
The issue though is not as simple as select or drop Morne Steyn and I am not saying get rid of Morne Steyn, but look beyond him as the depth of the squad is built. The key to any successful team is depth in the number of players capable of playing Test rugby.
Why this absolute anxiousness from Meyer and within the Bok set up? As much as I hate the emphasis put on the World Cup it is a reality of the sport and the game works in four year cycles. If ever a coach has a luxury it is in the first year post the World Cup when so many players have retired or moved abroad and made themselves unavailable for Test selection. Meyer, in this first year, is treating it as if the World Cup is played in a few months and any window for exploring variables is gone.
I use the word explore and not experiment because there is nothing with which to experiment. The players are known quantities and so no international coach is working with the unknown.
Saturday in Dunedin offered so much promise because Meyer could have turned the week into an exciting one with the prospect of so many possibilities. And he could have done it in a way where no expectation was created either. He could have focused on the chance given to new kids and the growth they'll get out of 80 minutes of playing the All Blacks in New Zealand.
Instead he has put World Cup-final like pressure on Steyn to save his career and he has turned a Test match into a life or death situation. Why? It never had to come to this. If Steyn fails then it is hard to see how Meyer can't drop him. And given the strength of the Bok pack I don't see how Steyn can succeed, given that his type of flyhalf play needs a pack that is dominant.
A more enlightened approach would have allowed for this week to be one of adventure and not torture.
The psychology of it all seems so wrong when it wasn't particularly complicated to get it right.

The Motolite, Paul Components' flagship linear pull brake, has been around the block a time or two. Paul considers the design is so near to perfect that there is no foreseeable reason to ever change it. First introduced in 1990, Paul's brake pivot mechanism has an excellent track record. A stainless steel bushing mates the brake to the frame's brake posts and provides a larger bearing surface with a tightly controlled tolerance.The brake arms are precision ground and then CNC machined into a light weight, but more importantly strong and reliable form. A brake collar fits around each cylindrical arms and holds the Kool-Stop brake pads in place, while allowing them to be finely tuned for height and toe-in. These pivots are pre-greased for smooth action and sealed to keep them that way. Specially wound square springs offer a snappy return and are easily adjusted and balanced. The quick-release mechanism is simple but reliable, allowing you to easily open up the brake when you need to, but never rattling open on its own. The cable enters the brake through a curved noodle with a Teflon lining for reduced friction. Thanks to the switchable brake arms the cable can be routed into the brake from the left or right.

PITTSBURGH - Freshman goaltender Jay Williams stopped all 29 shots he faced and the No. 5 Miami hockey team scored a third-period goal to overcome a slow start as the RedHawks topped Ohio State, 1-0, Friday night at CONSOL Energy Arena in the inaugural Three Rivers Classic. With the win, Miami (12-3-4) improved to 2-0-1 this year against the Buckeyes (7-7-5), facing OSU for the third straight time, and also moved on to Saturday night's championship game of the Three Rivers Classic against host Robert Morris.
The shutout was the RedHawks' fourth of the season and the second of Williams' career, as the rookie netminder kept Miami in the contest over the first 40 minutes. He made 23 of his 29 saves during the first two periods, as the 'Hawks were outshot 23-12 over that span.
"This is nothing new to us. We see Jay, and I'll throw Ryan McKay in as well. We see these two guys go at each other every day in practice. This is nothing surprising to us," Miami head coach Enrico Blasi said. "Now you still have to play the games. Jay's done an unbelievable job. Ryan got hurt earlier in the season, Jay had to carry the mail. He's the reason why we're at where we're at now. He continues to work hard."
Senior forward Curtis McKenzie scored the contest's only goal just 14 seconds into the final frame, as Miami controlled the last period of play with a 14-6 shot advantage, but was still outshot by Ohio State, 29-26, for the game.
As was the trend in the teams' first two meetings two weeks ago in Columbus, there was little offense in the opening period. Just minutes in, OSU pushed a rebound past Williams, who reached back with his stick to make the initial save on a 2-on-1 break, but the referee blew the play dead before the puck crossed the line. The Buckeyes nearly scored again on a breakaway but Williams made a pair of leg pad saves from his stomach to keep the game scoreless.
OSU had another chance seven minutes into the second stanza as Ryan Dzingel went on a breakaway after a Miami turnover at the blue line but Williams denied him to keep the Buckeyes off the board. The RedHawks also killed a pair of Ohio State power plays in the frame, including a 4-on-3 kill, as the teams went into the third period still deadlocked at 0-0.
Miami finally broke the scoreless contest early in the third period when McKenzie scored his sixth goal of the year and second against OSU this season. Sophomore forward Jimmy Mullin skated into the offensive zone along the boards and carried the puck behind the net for a wrap-around attempt. His shot was denied but the rebound popped loose in the crease and McKenzie stormed down the middle of the ice to slam home the puck for the game-winning goal. Sophomore forward Austin Czarnik earned the second assist on the play.
"I thought Ohio State played great. I thought the first 40 minutes they were the better team in fact. If it wasn't for Jay, they might have been up one or two and maybe we were out of the game," Blasi said. "We seemed to find our legs in the third period. McKenzie scored the big goal right off the bat. I think that gave us a lot of energy and then we started to play our game, which was nice to see."
With 1:08 remaining in the contest, the Buckeyes pulled goaltender Brady Hjelle, who finished with 25 saves, in favor of the extra attacker. The RedHawks used good shot blocking and defense to clear the puck out of the zone each time OSU tried to set up offensively, however, as Miami closed out the win.
Both teams went 0-for-2 on the power play, with both of OSU's coming in the second stanza and Miami's coming in the final period.
The RedHawks play for Three Rivers Classic championship Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at CONSOL Energy Center, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, against the host Colonials. Robert Morris defeated Penn State, 6-0, in Friday's first semifinal game.
