Team Pfeiffer Cycling Heads into Championship Weekend Looking to Repeat as Champs
April 14, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Team Pfeiffer Cycling leads the ACCC by 76 points heading into the Conference Championships this weekend at Virginia Tech. Pfeiffer is trying to become back-to-back ACCC champions.
On Saturday, Justin Beard led Pfeiffer Cycling to a 76 point overall lead by winning the men's A criterium in downtown Clarksburg, WV. He followed that win with the 72 mountain road race win Sunday. With the help of Michael Robinson, Beard was able to fight off several teams that covered him both days. NCSU, VT, Duke and UMD did all they could to stop the Pfeiffer assault. Robinson finished 11th and 14th aiding in the overall win. Robinson covered breaks, attacks and all other efforts to stop Beard. First place in both races came from an Arizona State racer that could not earn conference points. He teamed up with Beard to assist in a Pfeiffer conference victory. Beard now moves into first place in the men's A overall.
Stephanie Bunnett won both her races as well as Paige Beard took her races. Inside each race were primes that were taken by the Pfeiffer women's B and C racers. Both women were placed with the men's race on Sunday. KC Fee won many points in the criterium and took a strong second place finish working the entire race with Navy. The mountains took their toll as Fee finished fifth in the road race. Her efforts aided greatly all weekend in the overall point gain.
Michael Brown attacked the field several times in the Men's B crit. He took many prime points for the day as he finished a strong seventh in a big field sprint. Again on Sunday, the mountains took its toll. Brown flatted and chased for over 11 miles. He caught the field at the bottom of the long, very steep climb. He was unable to stay in contact and had to pull out of the race. His major efforts sparked the team for the rest of the day.
Eric Serkercan raced the Men's Ds. On Saturday, UMD , VT and WVU tried to control the entire race. By covering all attacks and placing in the primes, Sekercan set himself up for the final sprint. In a dramatic finish, Sekercan flew out of the pack to take the win away from a UMD racer that never saw Sekercan fly by for the win. Sunday's race was as exciting as UMD pulled away from Pfeiffer on the final climb. Sekercan not only caught and passed VT and WVU, he caught his main UMD rival and out sprinted him for the win.
Team Pfeiffer Cycling now leads the D2 ACCC by 76 points going into the championship weekend. The ACCC Championships are in Blacksburg, VA held by VT, April 17th and 18th.
D2 Standings – through Weekend 7
Pfeiffer 819
Duke 734
Wake Forest 514
Georgetown 360

D1 & D2 Overall Lead – through Weekend 7
Men's "A" – Beard 1st , Robinson 8th

HOBOKEN, N.J. – David Beckham changed the landscape of soccer in the United States.
He brought attention and fans to both the LA Galaxy and MLS as a whole and with his announcement that he is retiring from soccer, the Galaxy were left to reflect on Beckham's impact.
"The way that this league has turned around in the last six years since he got here is black and white and it's fair to say that it is 100 percent because of him," said midfielder Mike Magee, who spoke to Beckham on Thursday to congratulate him on his retirement. "Obviously, the league has taken the necessary steps to grow it steadily, but he made it make a huge jump. I could tell difference easily from before he got here till now and it's not even close."
As for how the league has changed? Magee admits that Beckham provided a greater importance to MLS.
"I played in MLS before he got there and it was always a struggle," Magee added. "The league kind of lacked importance at times with fans and from when he got here, it completely changed around. People started caring and people started showing up at the games, our contracts got a little bigger, it was a lot to do with him."
Even LA captain Robbie Keane admits that without Beckham's convincing, he might not be playing for the Galaxy.
"He was the one that kind of brought me here, well, between himself, Tim Leiweke and, obviously, Bruce. But he was the one that kind of got the ball rolling when he went to train with Tottenham," said Keane. "It was kind of up to him, why I am here."
LAGalaxy.com videographer Paolo Ferrari has compiled this video of LA Galaxy players reacting to David Beckham's retirement.
Watch the video below...
HOBOKEN, N.J. – Landon Donovan and David Beckham's relationship had its ebbs and flows over the years, but by the time that the Englishman departed the LA Galaxy, the pair had developed a proven track record of success together including two consecutive MLS Cup trophies.
Beckham announced his retirement from soccer on Thursday, ending his illustrious career, which included two MLS Cup victories with the Galaxy. As LA prepares for Sunday's match against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena, Donovan discussed the retirement of his former teammate.
Donovan's comments are below...
(On David Beckham's retirement….)
DONOVAN: "We're not all that surprised, but he's had arguably one of the best careers of any players. I think that he's won championships in four different countries with four different teams which is pretty impressive. All the stuff that he's meant and done for our league speaks for itself. We're happy that he's ready to move on to the next chapter in his life."
(On any lasting memories of serving as a teammate of Beckham's….)
DONOVAN: "Some of the best memories for me are just seeing him interact with his children. He'd bring his kids into training a lot and for me; I enjoyed that part a lot because it humanized him. A lot of times, celebrities are put on a pedestal and someone with his fame is seen in one way, but he's human and a father just like many people are and it was always nice to see him with his kids."
David Beckham retired on Thursday, ending one of the most distinguished careers in professional soccer.
Earlier this year, MLS complied all of his MLS goals...Which do you think is the best?
Also check out this video that the Galaxy produced last year.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena coached David Beckham from August of 2008 to the end of the 2012 seasons and developed plenty of wonderful memories as the pair helped lead the Galaxy back to prominence.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Arena discusses Beckham's retirement, his role in the growth of the Galaxy and MLS as well as his potential future as an owner in the league.
Arena's comments are below...
(On David Beckham's retirement…)
ARENA: "I really don't think that it's a sad day; I think that it is a great day because we will now be able to celebrate such a fabulous career. David is such a great player, a great personality, a great friend, a great family man. We in the United States, in Major League Soccer and specifically the LA Galaxy were honored to have David here for seven years. He's a person that we can't replace on the field or off, he really has meant a lot to the professional game in the United States as he has for the game in so many countries. He had such a fabulous presence and we are so thrilled that he can finally have his day in the sun and we can all celebrate a terrific career."
(On Beckham's integration to MLS in 2007….)
ARENA: "Just to let you know, I didn't work for the Galaxy until 2008, David had already been with the Galaxy for about a year and a half. At the time, obviously, everyone said what a great person that he was, a good teammate, however, very frustrated because the LA Galaxy experienced very little success on the field. David is such a great competitor and he was questioning his move to the United States and we were fortunately able to turn it around, and all I'll say is that it is a tribute to David's presence on and off the field. My four years working with him is one of the great honors of my life. I found him to be a player with incredible skills on the field as we all know, one of the greatest passers that the game has ever seen. Just a great personality and incredible competitor, who did wonderful things for our club and our game."
(On Beckham's influence on soccer in the U.S)
ARENA: "In our market, he brought a lot of attention to our club, but as we traveled across the United States and the world, there was always sold out stadiums. We all know that he's a global icon and a real terrific ambassador for the game. It was a wonderful experience for all of us."
(On whether Arena can see David Beckham becoming an owner in MLS…)
ARENA: "I certainly can. Our league would be foolish not to have David Beckham back in it. I know that he's going to be back in Los Angeles this summer, I look forward to seeing him and his family again and I look forward to him playing a permanent role in the growth of Major League Soccer. Hopefully that's going to happen."
David Beckham ended his illustrious career on Thursday as he announced his retirement from soccer.
The former LA Galaxy midfielder was the world's most iconic soccer player throughout his career which included successful stops at some of the world's biggest clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, A.C. Milan, and Paris St. Germain.
Beckham's complete statement to retire, which he posted on his official Facebook page is below...
I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level. If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams.
To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country. I'm honoured to represent England both on and off the pitch.
I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams. I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period. I also want to thank Simon Fuller and his team for their continued support.
I want to thank all my team-mates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed.
Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.
What are your thoughts on Beckham's retirement?
Share your thoughts below...
CHESTER, Pa. – Robbie Keane made his presence felt on Wednesday after missing the LA Galaxy's last three matches with an ankle injury. Keane tallied a goal and an assist as he helped power LA to a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union.
There was no doubt that Keane's presence settled the Galaxy attack as his veteran leadership and attacking quality spurred LA on to three unanswered goals in the second half of Wednesday's match.
"It's nice to be back and get a good win so I'm delighted," said Keane. "It was a good performance by everyone. We said that it was important that we bounced back after a couple of disappointing results. First half we played okay, probably could have been better, but in the second half, that's how we know that we can play and we should be playing [with the] counter attack and causing havoc for their defenders."
Keane was bullish that if LA can maintain that aggressive counter attacking style of play then the Galaxy can compete with any team. And with a match at Red Bull Arena against the New York Red Bulls, Keane is eager for a repeat performance.
"When we play against teams the way that we play then we can cause problems for anybody," said Keane. "It's always good when you go away from home and get a good result with a convincing performance like we did. It breathes confidence into the guys."
CHESTER, Pa. –The LA Galaxy learned on Wednesday that they'll travel to North Carolina for a second straight year as they open their U.S. Open Cup campaign in the third round of the tournament. The fact that the Galaxy must travel across the country midweek did not sit well with LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena
Arena addressed LA's Open Cup draw, which will see the Galaxy face either the PDL's Carolina Dynamo or NASL side Carolina Railhawks on May 29, following the Galaxy's 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Union.
"Ridiculous. What more can I say? You have the premier club in the country and we're being shuffled off like that again. They're basically saying, they're telling us that the Open Cup is not important when they do things like that. It's really ridiculous, but it's life. What are going to do?," Arena said. "They've got to figure out how to get it regionalized. Trips across the country midweek after a Sunday night game don't work. It doesn't make any sense. It really doesn't in my opinion and I know that someone has to do it, but it is odd that we're doing it every year. It's stupid. If they want the U.S. Open Cup to mean more, the premier clubs in the country can't be shuffled around like that like we're an amateur team, but that's life."
The Open Cup match will be sandwiched between LA's match against Seattle Sounders FC on May 26 at The Home Depot Center and their June 2 game against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.
What are your thoughts on Arena's comments?
Share your thoughts below.
CHESTER, Pa. – Landon Donovan earned one goal and two assists in his 200th regular season game with the LA Galaxy.
Only three other players have attained this mark as Donovan joins Cobi Jones (306 games), Kevin Hartman (243 games) and Mauricio Cienfuegos (206 games) as having played at least 200 games for LA. The LA Galaxy forward is already the club's all-time leading goal scorer in the regular season with 83 goals.
Donovan will certainly bypass Cienfuegos later this year, but will likely need another year in a Galaxy uniform to catch Hartman for second place.
CHESTER, Pa. – Bruce Arena's postgame comments following the LA Galaxy's 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
The victory snapped LA's two game losing skid and gave LA their second victory on the road this season. LA ends their three game road trip on Sunday against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena.
Arena's comments are below…
(On the game…)
ARENA: "We were a little better tonight, not great. We were unbelievably sloppy in the first half and some sloppy times in the second half, obviously some good goals. We had a little bit better performance, some better concentration in the second 45 minutes and we will take the three points but we certainly realize we have to get this team better."
(On Landon getting back into form…)
ARENA: "My suspicion is he (Landon Donovan) is a very good player and so it's just a matter of time where he is going to get his touch back, his confidence, and his fitness on a more consistent basis. We'd like to believe that that is going to start now. His second half was real good, he got a little tired in the first half which is natural in these second games but I thought his second half was spectacular."
(On Donovan's second half…)
ARENA: "His second half was really good. I thought he got a little tired in the first half which is natural in these second games and I thought his second half was spectacular."
On having Robbie Keane back
ARENA: "Robbie (Keane) is a great player, what else can you say. He makes us look real good, he was pretty good tonight. I was surprised he got through 90 minutes, I thought we were going to have to take him out around 75 minutes, but we had to keep him on the field and he did a good job towards the end."
(On whether the team pulled Todd Dunivant out due to fatigue as well…)
ARENA: "He was dead. His legs were shot and you can get away with one of your strikers being a little tired, but your back line has to be a little bit more solid so I thought the change was good. He did fine, it's going to take some games to get him back as well."
(On what this win will do to carry them into New York …)
ARENA: Hopefully good energy but we will find out Sunday. It's good to get the win, but we have a long task ahead of us. We have to get our legs back, make sure the players recover the right way, and hopefully step on the field and give the Red Bulls a good game on Sunday.
(On the team's depth with Charlie Rugg and Gyasi Zardes playing major minutes…)
ARENA: "Well, they haven't played major minutes. They've played a little bit. The minutes on those two don't add up two probably don't add up a 120 minutes yet. They're players with a lot of potential and we feel about them and we have to find the right ways to move them along so they can be productive for us."

Readers' Choice Awards 2011
The votes are in, the tallies are counted, the hanging chads have been evaluated, and we have our winners. This year holds a few surprises, a couple dominant players and as much open source as you can handle. We don't encourage gambling here at Linux Journal, but if you had an office pool going for pizza money, it's officially too late to make your wager.
It is just a Linux, it was
It is just a Linux, it was never a GNU/Linux and never will be.
GNU/Linux would be correct only if Linux would be a microkernel and servers would be from GNU project. Otherway saying, Linux would be a microkernel and replace Mach microkernel used in HURD operating system.
Linux is a monolithic operating system, the kernel is whole operating system alone, no GNU - or any other project - software is needed or used at all in it.
Those who use GNU/Linux, does not know the truth of Linux (I was one of them long, looong time ago, until technology show the truth).
RE: Ubuntu
Thank you for your insightful comments, which shows a depth and breadth of understanding and knowledge not normally found in internet comments. It's refreshing to read something that does not contain the usual stereotypes and trolling nature.
I didn't vote, at all, but I'm well versed in Linux distros, and operating systems in general, and I still use XUbuntu for my normal desktop system.
First, since you claim that those who use Ubuntu have never used other distros, let me chime in with some of my history. My first Linux distro was an Yggdrasil Linux CD purchased when the internet was still dial-up in most areas. I've used Red Hat/Fedora, SuSE, Slax, Slitaz, Slackware, etc etc.
I'm also a dedicated OpenBSD user, and prefer that OS for my server installations. While we're on the topic of other operating systems, I used BeOS and Haiku, Mac OS X, and yes, even Windows (in all it's incantations from 3.0 through 7, including server versions) for most of my professional career (as an IT wonk).
Having said that, I like Ubuntu, or XUbuntu specifically, for my daily workstation, as it's nice to not have to mess with the underlying system to make most everything work. When I get done working on computers all day, sometimes I won't to come home and not work on a computer.
As the article states, apt makes updating and installing new packages simple, and I like the functionality of the Ubuntu One service. If I want to try out the latest bleeding edge software, I'm pretty assured of their being good Ubuntu support, due to it's popularity.
When I want to get down and dirty, I turn to one of my OpenBSD servers.
I forgot to mention the first
I forgot to mention the first Network system I did, I built 20 work stations and 2 servers running windows 95 with windows for work groups and Novell Netware. A bit before your time I presume
Ubuntu is a looser
No I stated those that voted for Ubuntu are mostly ex windows users who have never used any other Distribution, if they had they would have voted for the more superior Linux distributions, You didn't vote Why not?
As an IT wonk, Do you think by giving me your Linux history on what, how or where you use it make any difference to me,it won't make the slightest difference, Do you think your the only one that's ever used Red Hat/Fedora, SuSE, Slax, Slitaz, Slackware,etc etc. Me too.
Yggdrasil Linux CD purchased when the internet was still dial-up in most areas.
Yes I remember those day's very well, and the years before Microsoft or Apple Mac came into being, When Bill and Steve where still wet behind their hears, When my first stand alone computer cost more than I paid for my house, Thank god for the IBM compatibility standards. That was the only thing Bill Gates ever got right in his life. Stop trying to be a smart Alex it don't work.
Re: Ubuntu is a looser
I don't think Ubuntu is as good as some of the other mainstream distros (Fedora or Mint) either, but through both of your posts, you've failed to mention why exactly you don't like Ubuntu!
You see! Here is a perfect
You see! Here is a perfect example of what makes no sense about these debates!
Mint is ... "Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers."
Just like every other stupid distro that is based Debian and Ubuntu. It's not like we're comparing Irix and HPUX. The argument is moot.
Sorry, I'm not picking on you Anon Slacker!
Ubuntu is a great OS for popularization of Linux on desktops. Windows-likeness and over-userfriendliness are unavoidable. For me, Ubuntu was a transition step from windows to "that scary hardcore Linux" (I chose Arch shortly after).

I'm just like you. I read print newspapers.
Sure, I'm just a general newshound so I read online news more than in print, but I still pick up a newspaper and read it.
I read the Times-News, of course, and the News & Record in Greensboro. The Wall Street Journal is my favorite paper, and at the end of the day I like to grab a leftover copy from our circulation department to take home. When I'm in Raleigh I like to spend coffee time with the News & Observer.
Maybe like you, reading the newspaper always brings up questions in my mind. Maybe a story has missed a key element that leaves me wanting more or I wonder what will happen next with an ongoing story.
There are others:
■ What is up with open invitation family reunions? Our newspaper often runs reunion announcements in the Alamance Scene section.
"Smith reunion Saturday at the Homebuilders Shelter at City Park at 2 p.m. Bring a covered dish."
Aren't reunions usually planned by word of mouth? How do you know if a stranger who shows up is really a Smith? If I'm a Smith, how do I know whether these Smiths are some of mine?
■ What does that graphic that runs with the Bridge column mean?
■ Why do newspapers continue to run stories about issue-oriented nonprofits putting out reports saying that their issue is not being properly addressed. They are the worst kind of stories written.
Have you ever seen such a story that says "everything is going great with our disease. It will be eradicated by August. Thanks."
Sounds like a good way to lose all your funding.
■ Where does the tradition of holding eight-hour visitation services at African-American funeral homes come from?
■ Am I an idiot because I can't figure out how to work the Sudoku puzzle?
■ Why is there no place on the Internet that provides the sports fan with as much useful information in as an efficient a manner as a newspaper agate page? In order to get all those numbers, you'd have to waste your time clicking on 30 different webpages.
■ What happened to Bloom County? That was my favorite comic strip. I'm not as crazy about the ones that run today.
■ Executrix is a term used in legal ads for creditor's notices. Why isn't that word used more often? It's fabulous.
■ Why do I need to know a lake's elevation above sea level? Don't you just need to tell me how many feet below full capacity it is?
■ How are those Post-It note advertisements placed on the front page?
■ In this business we like to joke about a "Christ Returns!" headline when referring to a large-font headline on the front page. If Christ does return, how big would the headline actually be?
■ Why does the Burlington paper continue to let that Lancaster guy write a column?

Four School Records Drown as Swimming Has Great Weekend at Fall Frenzy
November 21, 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Pfeiffer University mens swim team broke four school records finishing seventh at the 2010 Fall Frenzy hosted by Wingate at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center this weekend. The women finished eighth missing their own school record setting performance by two-tenths of a second.
The two-day event began with a near miss by the Lady Falcons setting the table for the weekend. Jillian Kniffen, Haley Carter, Morgan Dionne and Yukina Onoda just missed breaking a 15 year old record in the 200 freestyle. The quartet came up short on the record by just by .22 seconds.
Charlie Melesh started breaking the first of two school records beginning with the 500 freestyle in event four. Melesh broke the old time set two years ago by teammate Edwin Torres by more than five seconds clocking in with a 4:42.10 to finish third overall out of 34 competitors.
George Moreno followed up Meleshs record-breaking swim with a new record of his own in the 50 free. Moreno concluded with a new record-setting time of 21.58 finishing fourth out of 59 swimmers. Moreno topped the 21-month old record by .04 to end the morning session on day one.
Two school records plummeted during the final event of day one in the night sessions 800 freestyle relay. Melesh, swimming the first leg, topped the individual record with a time of 1:44.80 while teammates Moreno, Torres and Andrew Corley combined to shatter the old record by more than six seconds. The four men finished with a time of 7:09.15 touching sixth out of 21 teams.
Day two saw Jim Roddenbery miss out on the 200 breaststroke record by less than a second with 2:15.93 while Melesh fell short of his third record for the weekend by the same slim margin in the 200 butterfly.
Both teams will now take more than a month off from competitive swimming until their New Years Eve noon matinee at St. Leo.

NFL Game Summary - New England at Denver
(Sunday, December 18th)
Final Score: New England 41, Denver 23
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Tom Brady watched the resurgent Broncos score on their first three possessions, then led the Patriots to 27 straight points en route to a 41-23 victory to help New England clinch the AFC East for the ninth time in 11 years.
Brady threw for 320 yards with two touchdowns and ran in another score in the sixth straight win for New England (11-3), which trailed 16-7 early in the second quarter before taking control.
Aaron Hernandez had game-highs of nine receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown, and the Patriots' defense overcame a slow start and an injury to Andre Carter to silence the streaking Broncos.
"We knew it was going to a 60-minute game," Brady said. "I thought we played well for 60 minutes for the first time this season."
Tim Tebow, the undeniable catalyst behind the Broncos' 7-1 run, had two rushing TDs and threw for 194 yards on 11-of-22 passing.
But there was no fourth-quarter magic that has become commonplace over the past two months in Denver (8-6), which still leads the AFC West by one game thanks to the Raiders losing to the Lions on Sunday.
The Broncos uncharacteristically started fast and ended with a thud.
They ran for 167 yards in the first quarter, with Tebow plowing in for a nine- yard touchdown and Lance Ball rumbling for a 32-yard TD.
Between the scores, Chad Ochocinco caught his first touchdown as a Patriot, hauling in a 33-yard pass down the left sideline. It was the former Bengals star's only catch.
The Patriots punted on their second drive and had their sack leader, Carter, go down with a knee injury on the final play of the first quarter.
Matt Prater, who did not attempt an extra point on Denver's first TD because of a bad snap, made a 26-yard field goal early in the second for a 16-7 edge.
The Patriots answered with a 12-play, 80-yard march capped by Hernandez bringing in a one-yard score with 8:43 remaining in the half.
The wheels started falling off for Denver from there. Ball fumbled on the first snap of the ensuing drive, and the Pats turned the turnover into the go- ahead points via Stephen Gostkowski's 21-yard field goal.
Mark Anderson then stripped Tebow while he was running the option and recovered the fumble at the Denver 40-yard line.
Brady completed a 25-yard pass to Hernandez on 4th-and-1 to keep the next drive moving, then muscled into the end zone from a yard out with 1:12 showing.
Both teams quickly punted before the break, and Quan Cosby's muff led to Gostkowski's 34-yard field goal on the half's final play.
"We had things going pretty well early, but then we put it on the ground. That's something you can't do against a great team," Tebow said.
New England punted in enemy territory on the first possession of the second half, but an eight-play, 85-yard drive later in the third essentially sealed the outcome, as Danny Woodhead's 10-yard run to paydirt in the final minute made it 34-16.
Not even Elvis Dumervil's vicious sack of Brady early in the fourth, nor Tebow's two-yard touchdown run a little later sparked a comeback.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis accounted for the final score with a one-yard plunge.
Game Notes
The Patriots have won 11 straight games in December...Patriots head coach Bill Belichick improved to 4-10 in his career against Denver...Coming in, the Pats were 2-15 in Denver since 1969...New England's Wes Welker caught four balls for 41 yards and set a career-high with 1,380 receiving yards this season...Ball totaled 105 yards from scrimmage, while Demaryius Thomas led Denver's receiving corps with seven catches for 116 yards...Tebow ran for a team-high 93 yards on 12 carries.

Best Uses
Comments about Topeak Joe Blow Max HP Floor Pump:
I'm loving this pump. Pretty solid construction, pressure gauge with a moveable pressure target arrow, comes with ball needle and balloon tip. Not much to say about this pump except that the dual head can sometimes be a little tight. The lever requires you to push it in the opposite direction of the valve you want to use. It's quite tight, and you're in danger of damaging a presta valve's cone if you're not careful. Remember to always stabilize the valve body, and to pull the pump head straight off.

Comments about Topeak Joe Blow Max HP Floor Pump:
This is a great pump. I use it for everything. It pumps up both presta and schrader valves. The guage is easy to read. My girlfriend has trouble compressing it once it gets near 90 psi but it's been still working great after about a year of hard use.

Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls to Die ForGourmet Cinnamon Rolls to Die For
"Baked With You In Mind"
Hadley Farms, which started out as a pretzel company thirty years ago, is a full service bakery located in the small western Maryland village of Smithsburg. The DeHaan family of Smithsburg have owned and operated the bakery since 1980. Their plant has manufactured items for both the foodservice and retail markets.
The company started with croissants before moving on to gourmet cinnamon rolls, Danish, and sweet rolls.
If it weren't for a combination of determination, hard work, and the ability to change to meet the demands of the market, Hadley Farms just wouldn't make it.
These delicious (and enormous) cinnamon rolls come in their own microwavable containers and are packaged individually. They are lightweight, compact, and easy to handle. They can stay frozen for about seven months and can sit out on the counter for roughly a week.
Hadley Farms Bakery is located right before the railroad tracks at 47 South Main Street in Smithsburg, Maryland. Their phone number is 301-824-2558.

Want a NOOK? Explore Now
Cooper was sent to Yale in 1801 but he was expelled in 1805 for setting off an explosion in another student's room. Afterward, as a midshipman in the fledgling U.S. Navy, he made Atlantic passages and served at an isolated post on Lake Ontario. Cooper resigned his commission in 1811 to marry Susan Augusta De Lancey, the daughter of a wealthy New York State family. During the next decade, however, a series of bad investments and legal entanglements reduced his inheritance to the verge of bankruptcy.
Cooper was already 30 years old when, on a dare from his wife, he became a writer. One evening he threw down, in disgust, a novel he was reading aloud to her, saying he could write a better book himself. Susan, who knew that he disliked writing even letters, expressed her doubts. To prove her wrong he wrote Precaution, which was published anonymously in 1820. Encouraged by favorable reviews, Cooper wrote other books in quick succession, and by the time The Last of the Mohicans, his sixth novel, was published in 1827, he was internationally famous as America's first professionally successful novelist. Eventually he published 32 novels, as well as travel books and histories. Cooper invented the genre of nautical fiction, and in the figure of Nathaniel or "Natty" Bumppo (Hawkeye in The Last of the Mohicans) -- the central character in the five Leatherstocking Tales Cooper published between 1823 and 1841 -- he gave American fiction its first great hero.
Shortly after publishing The Last of the Mohicans, Cooper moved his family to Europe, but in 1833 he returned to America, moving back into his father's restored Mansion House in Cooperstown. He died there on September 14, 1851.
Author biography courtesy of Barnes & Noble Books.
Between 1822 and 1826 Cooper lived in New York City, and was a major player on its intellectual scene. He founded the Bread and Cheese Club, which had many high-profile members, including notable painters of the Hudson River School and writers like William Cullen Bryant.

Project Lead the Way allows students to earn college credits for some high school engineering courses. Although the program is active in other high schools in the Onslow County School System including
Now in its second year of offering a full four course complement of classes, there are currently 147 students enrolled in the program.
"As a math teacher, the one question you always get is 'Where am I going to use this? One of the first things I tell my kids is any student who goes through my classes will never has to ask that question again," said Marshall Smith, teacher for Project Lead the Way. "You see the relevance of what you're being educated in early on."
Teachers must go through an intensive two-week professional development course during the summer, which involves class time, homework, projects and tutoring. Smith has gone through four trainings and teaches Introduction to Engineering and Design Development, Principals of Engineering and Digital Electronics. Teacher Shannon Ashley has also gone through one training session and teaches Principals of Engineering.
These classes delve into a variety of topics in engineering and design. Through this certification students enrolled in the program are eligible to earn college credit and meet all requirements for the student's senior project. Some of projects students that work on include three dimensional modeling, robotics, thermodynamics, digital electronics and building circuit boards.
"Anything that they make on the computer, we can actually print in the classroom," Smith said.
Classes are also designed to be rigorous and relevant to 21st century learners through the use of project based learning and cutting edge technologies, learning the systems of thought and processes of problem solving real world engineers use to tackle modern day problems.
"Engineers are everywhere," Smith said. "By definition, an engineer is someone who applies math and science to real world problems."
Project Lead the Way also helps to tackle the decline of students who drop out of college engineering programs before graduating. Earlier data has shown that students in the program are better prepared for challenges that post secondary education poses.
"Our engineering force is silver right now, with over half of American engineers being over the age of 55," Smith said. "We currently don't have enough American engineers coming out of our schools right now to fill those positions that are about to be opened after the retiring of our baby boomers."
Through nearby military bases and companies, Smith hopes to take classes on more field trip opportunities to see engineering at work in the community. Students like 16-year-old junior Anthony Christoff and 15-year-old sophomore Marisa Coltabaugh are already developing plans to use their skills in the workforce one day.
"I find math very easy and I like building with my hands," Anthony said. "I would like to go toward mechanical engineering and build engines and cars."
Marisa anticipates studying environmental or architectural engineering in college and plans to design and build her own home. She finds the program challenging, but uses it to get more involved in activities like the newly established engineering club.
"Sometimes looking at something on a computer and trying to mimic it on the CAD program can be a challenge," she said.
Another advantage that Smith observed is the chance to level out gender and racial gaps in the engineering field.
"We've had a lot more boys than girls take the series of classes, but as the series has grown the girls have taken to it," Smith said. "We have higher percentage of females in the lower level classes than last year. With race there's that same discrepancy nationwide, but we have overcome that discrepancy at White Oak."

Club competitions
National team competitions
Conventional wisdom says that a team which faces a do-or-die game needs its key players to deliver a big performance in order to win, but in practice it is a bit more complicated than that.
The players upon whom a team relies in these tight situations have to, first and foremost, not crumble under the weight of the occasion, keep their focus when everyone else's hands tremble, and transform the pressure into an adrenaline boost that will propel their team-mates.
Joensuun Kataja were a team in exactly that kind of predicament on Tuesday night and Jermaine Flowers was exactly the player they needed to lead them.
Their guests, Pinar Karsiyaka, had already secured top spot in Group I while the Finns had no other option but to win the game if they wanted to accompany the Turkish side into the quarter-finals.
'You can count on me,' the American small forward sent the message to his team-mates as he scored eight of his team's first 12 points, grabbed two rebounds and stole a ball in the first critical minutes of the encounter, when a pressure-free Karsiyaka got off to a better start.
Kataja went up 12-11 on a Flowers lay-up five minutes after tip-off and from that moment on, they believed they could pull this off and never looked back until the final buzzer, which found them 87-79 winners.
The psychological impact that Flowers's display had on his team is not reflected on his stat lines, but he still finished with 26 points, six rebounds, five steals and one assist, reaching an efficiency index rating of 31 to earn Last 16 Week 6 MVP honours.
Another player who stepped up and showed his true colours in clutch time for his team, Sean May of Paris Levallois, was second this week with a rating of 26 after leading the Parisians to an 80-74 win at Szolnoki Olaj and into the quarter-finals with his 26-point, six-rebound showing.

Bakkies Botha's transfer saga continues to get more twisted, with both the Bulls and Toulon laying claim to him.
Botha is one of a number of elite players targeted by the French second division club, who already own Botha's Springbok lock partner Victor Matfield, legendary Australia scrumhalf George Gregan, All Blacks Anton Oliver and Andrew Mehrtens, while All Blacks great Tana Umaga coaches the galaxy of stars.
When keo.co.za spoke to millionaire Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal on a recent visit to the club, he explained that Botha had signed a pre-contract with them, and would join on 1 April. He said the document indicated Botha's intent to sign an official contract but explained that Botha was now legally obligated to join the club.
The Bulls, however, refused to release the player, despite his request, citing the fact that he was bound to the franchise by a four year contract he signed in late 2007.
This website has learned that Boudjellal last week showed the Toulon media the contract with Botha's signature on the dotted line. Boudjellal insisted that they would secure Botha's services irrespective of the Bulls' assertions to the contrary.
If Botha failed to arrive on the specified date, Boudjellal said the club would proceed with legal action against the player. As it stands Botha is with the Bulls in Perth preparing for their Super 14 match against the Force. Unless the lock has developed a supernatural ability to teleport himself across the world, he is unlikely to show up for work in the south of France.
Toulon claim they have sent a copy of the signed contract to the South African Rugby Union [Saru]. However, Saru general manager of policy and regulations, Christo Ferreira, insists he has not received anything of the sort – but explained that manager of national teams Andy Marinos may be in possession of the document. Marinos asked to be contacted later on Tuesday, but would neither confirm or deny having received the contract.
"If the two parties are looking for mediation on the matter, the IRB usually deals with that. But Saru may intervene if they are requested to [by the IRB] although that hasn't been the case to date," Ferreira told keo.co.za.
Botha's agent, Bernie Habana, failed to respond to questions around where the process stood, while Bulls CEO Barend van Graan was vehemently opposed to discussing the matter. "Please don't ask me about Bakkies. I'm not talking about that. No comment," Van Graan barked.
As it stands both the Bulls and Toulon have a contract with Botha, and Toulon will feel they have a watertight case should they opt to take legal action. The Bulls won't relent on their position that the player has committed to them for the next four years, so the battle could get even messier in the coming weeks.
How Botha got himself into this situation is perplexing. He has no escape clause in his Bulls contract. In fact, he requested a long-term contract from the Bulls so that he would have financial security. Yet he, or his agent acting on his behalf, felt it appropriate to sign a legally bonding document with Toulon and he now finds himself in the middle of a brutal battle.

Brad Schmidt is in his third season as Creighton's strength and conditioning coach for the Bluejay baseball team. A graduate of Iowa State in 2008, Schmidt served as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at South Dakota State for two years before taking the same position at Creighton in January of 2012.
Schmidt is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, as well as a certified sports performance coach by USA Weightlifting.
Creighton student-athletes benefit from a year-round strength training and conditioning program in the Frank J. Iwersen Strength and Conditioning Facility. The 4,000-square-foot facility in the Vinardi Athletic Center gives Creighton student-athletes one of the finest strength and conditioning facilities in the country for a school that does not sponsor football.
The facility features five Olympic platforms with complete sets of Olympic bumper plates, the most up-to-date weight training machines, a free weight area with over 10,000 pounds of weights, including a complete set of dumbbells, training equipment, aerobic training equipment, and video and audio systems to help the staff monitor and teach proper techniques. All of the equipment is Power Lift or Hammer Strength Equipment, making Creighton one of the few universities of its size to incorporate and use the push/pull hammer strength technology.
This facility, as well as a newer one in the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center, serve as the focal points for all strength and conditioning activities for Creighton student-athletes.
