Comments about XLC Pave Road Wheelset:
Great, durable looking rim for half the price of any other comparable wheelset. Don't worry about the lack of eyelets. Came to me straight and true with skewers.
Best Uses
Comments about XLC Pave Road Wheelset:
These rims are strong enough to carry a 300lb'er and stay true. Even after a frame pup incident took out 3 consecutive spokes, they stayed round and true enough to limp 6 miles home. If they had rims strips and eyelets they would be perfect, but for the price they are unbeatable.
Comments about XLC Pave Road Wheelset:
1025g front, 1275g rear, so pretty heavy, but about what I'd expect at this price point. Great rolling wheel, looks good, holds tires well, so all in all a good deal at this price.
Best Uses
Comments about XLC Pave Road Wheelset:
I'm using these wheels for touring and club rides. So far, no problems. I had to adjust the hubs a bit to get them to spin freely, but once I did, they were fine.

MACON, Ga. -- Facing one of the hottest teams in the country, Miami dropped both ends of a doubleheader Saturday at Mercer, falling 9-6 and 11-0. The RedHawks fell to 2-6 overall after suffering a three-game sweep and their first shutout of the year.
Miami trailed 9-1 in the opener before trying to rally. The RedHawks scored five times in the seventh, highlighted by a a pair of home runs. Matt Packer led off with a shot over the wall in left, before Matt Honchel registered an RBI single four batters later. On the next pitch, Nate Bowles hit a three-run bomb to left.
Mac Thoreson (0-2) took the loss for Miami, allowing eight runs and 11 hits in 5.1 innings.
Grant Papelian (2-1) earned the win, pitching into the seventh, while Demitri Kourtis picked up his second save.
In the nightcap, Miami managed just one hit off Mercer starter D.J. Johnson (1-1), a seventh-inning single by Packer. Nathan Williams (1-1) suffered the loss for Miami, lasting just two innings
Miami is slated to play its first midweek game of the season on Tuesday when it travels to Xavier. However, the weather forecast is not favorable. Check MURedHawks.com for updates.

Four years after he was injured in a football accident and told he had a 3 percent chance of regaining movement below his neck, Chris Norton walked across the stage at his graduation from Luther College on May 24.With a little assistance from his new fiancée Emily Summers, the 23-year-old stood up from his wheelchair, stepped across the stage and received his diploma to cheers from the crowd of new graduates.

Senator Rand Paul was on The Daily Show where he and Jon Stewart talked about the argument for religious freedom and how people are trying to get around marriage equality by arguing that corporations are people and have religious liberties. Senator Paul's point is that he believes religious freedoms are being attacked by the government and he illustrated his point by telling a story of a Christian company in Kentucky. "They chose not to make shirts that support gay marriage. The thing is that does sound a little bit like a freedom issue. And you could go down the street and get somebody else to make it." Stewart rebuttled that point by saying, "The only thing I would say is, don't they sell cakes to sinners all the time. Adulterers. When you com in and say 'I'd like a cake,' do they say 'Do you use the name of the lord in vain?'" This led the conversation back to whether or not these religious freedom arguments can be made by corporations claiming to be people, with Paul saying, "That's exactly the question of the Patriot Act… Whether or not a warrant that has a corporations name on it, Verizon, can collect all the records of all the people, whether a corporation is a person. So we're right back to the Patriot Act and I think we agree now." After toasting their coffee mugs to this revelation, Stewart commented, "This is going to keep me awake tonight. I'm going to be sitting around going 'Wait a minute!'"
Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Zach LaVine introduced himself to the world after winning the 2015 Slam Dunk Contest. But the 6' 5" guard isn't done being awesome. LaVine creatively came up with a way to combine two of America's favorite sports into one.
It was quite the eventful Tuesday for Jennifer Lopez. The "American Idol" judge showed off a new, much shorter hairdo as she arrived at LAX rocking a cropped top navy sweater and blue jeans. But things quickly turned sour when she was confetti bombed by a clown named Richie the Barber inside the building. The clown even Instagrammed a news article about the incident with the caption, "I confettied J Lo at the L.A.X airport . E! news exclusive ..... I'm back baby !!!!! Clown Power !!!"

Federal Employment by Department
We've learned about what a huge and dysfunctional agency Veterans Affairs is in recent weeks. I had not realized that the agency added 100,000 workers in just the past seven years.
Highway Bill: Fiscal Reform or Big Government?
If you are interested in financial markets, Cato has an interesting forum tomorrow on bank runs. But if you are more interested in highways and spending, you can catch me at this Heritage forum tomorrow on the Hill.
VA Scandal: Crisis of Big Government
Peggy Noonan's op-ed on the weekend was titled "The VA Scandal Is a Crisis of Leadership." Noonan discusses how President Obama "doesn't do the plodding, unshowy, unromantic work of making government work." Obama is not a good manager, and so scandals like the current one are to be expected.
Privatize Aviation
In discussing one of her main achievements as British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher said, "privatization is at the center of any program of reclaiming territory for freedom." One area where Britain reclaimed a lot of freedom is aviation. Since the 1980s, that nation has privatized airlines, airports, air traffic control, and in some cases airport security screening.
Number of VA Employees
After my blogpost yesterday about Department of Veterans Affairs spending, my research assistant Nick created the chart below on the number of VA employees. Wow, you don't often see bureaucracies expand that rapidly! A 56 percent increase in just 13 years, from 219,000 to 341,000 employees. The VA has 100,000 new employees just since 2006.
Talking Taxes with Rep. Ralph Hall
Rep. Ralph Hall is in the news for losing to a primary challenger in his Texas district. I first met 91-year-old Hall just last week as we were on a Capitol Hill panel together organized by the Texas Association of Business (TAB). In the photo, that's Hall to my right and Rep. Kevin Brady and TAB head Bill Hammond on my left. (Photo credit: Office of Rep. Hall).
Veterans Affairs in the Federal Budget
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the fifth largest agency measured by spending. Looking at estimated outlays for 2014, VA spending of $151 billion comes in behind the Department of Health and Human Services at $958 billion, the Social Security Administration at $914 billion, the Department of Defense at $593 billion, and the Department of Treasury (mainly interest costs) at $469 billion. See Table 4.1.
Your Homeland Security Dollars At Work: Tracking 'Occupy'
Two years ago, a thorough, bipartisan Senate report concluded that the federally created information-sharing hubs known as "fusion centers," long billed as a "centerpiece of our counterterrorism strategy," were in fact an expensive boondoggle. Despite being funded by the Department of Homeland Security to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars over a decade, the centers produced no useful counterterror intelligence and often focused instead on local law enforcement matters unrelated to any legitimate national security purpose.
Bush's Big Government Legacy: DHS
In the months and years after the 9/11 disaster, federal policymakers did what they usually do after crises: they increased spending and seized more power. At the Bush administration's urging, Congress created the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 as a complex amalgamation of 22 different federal agencies.
How VA Hospitals Are a Government-run Disaster
The news is shocking: Patients dying on the waiting list for government-provided healthcare. But this is not a report from Canada or the British National Health Service. It's right here in America, in the health system administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Lavender Elephant Bank
Lovely in Lavender11/15/2012
My granddaughter's nursery is done in zoo animals and in searching for a bank other than a traditional "piggy" bank, I came across this adorable elephant. The shade of lavender is very pretty and the white stitching just tops it off. Even my son texted me to thank me and say how cute it was! It's not quite as big as most piggy banks but is really adorable. Her painted on name looks great too.

That makes sense.
I'm sure you've already thought of this since you've usually thought of about everything, but should we have the tee pads marked with flags for those who aren't familiar with which holes are played from the longs and which are from the shorts? Maybe have green markers on the long we use and red on those where the shorts are played.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"This is the greatest foot product EVER! The rest are a waste of time in comparison. I really like the pressure relief insoles with metatarsal support. I am on my feet at work 5 days a week and averagely walk on hard floors 4.5 miles a day then. I had had some feet problems and went to the piediotrist, he fixed some things with tape and found my shoes were too tight. I bought new sneakers that were wider and more supportive but that was not enough. I hurt myself hiking a year later and went to a special shoe store for problems and they fitted me with these insoles there. People with specially made inserts were complaining they didn't work. I left the store feeling way better than I had been feeling even after seeing the piediotrist that day. Granted I had a metatarsal injury that only a couple of months of physical therapy could fix but this was a life saver! Thanks immensely!"

Yes, I recommend this product.
"I went into the local NB shop and the salesman recommended these to me as I have hard to fit feet, just like a lot of people. I have not been disappointed by these at all and am finally ready to replace my original pair after over a year of everyday wear. I switch these between all of my shoes: casual, dress, hiking, work boots, and my BMX shoes. I walk about 5 miles a day for work, and 10+ on Saturday and Sunday (according to my pedometer). They have held up well, and just now, the rubber is starting to dry rot and crack. Definitely got my money's worth out of these. These have been a godsend and I am really glad the salesman recommended them to me. I rated the style as Average as they are inside the shoe and are not visible."

"I was told this product was the replacement for IAS3720 ST Stability Insoles. In the past, the IAS3720 have been my absolute favorite insoles...even compared to prescription insoles! After buying this IAS4000-A product, the initial fit and feel was good. However, in about half the use length of my previous IAS3720 pair, the IAS4000-A pair disintegrated. The old set had nice a nice molded rubber bottom that prevented slip inside the shoe. The new ones slip and can squeak as you walk. The previous design's rubber bottom added robustness to the insole, allowing for a much longer life. I literally wore holes in this new set, as the pad is much thinner. The lack of quality of the IAS4000-A was so significant, I spent time calling around to find old stock of the IAS3720. I was lucky to find them for now, but I doubt I will have the same luck next time."

Results vs. Catawba (2007-08-28 16:00:00)
August 28, 2007
|Falcons Win in OT
|Tuesday, 28 August 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---Mario Garcia scored a "golden goal" with 20 seconds left in the first overtime to give the Pfeiffer men's soccer team a 2-1 win over visiting Catawba Tuesday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 2-1 on the season hile Catawba now stands at 0-1. Catawba scored in the first half and held the lead until the final twenty minutes when Pfeiffer tied the score setting up the exciting finish.
Catawba had control early on and in the 27th minute Troy Brown scored to give Cartawba a 1-0 lead.
The teams fought back and forth the rest of the half but neither one had a real good scoring chance as both defenses played well.
At halftime it was 1-0 Catawba.
Pfeiffer came back and controlled most of the play in the second half. Davi Lorenzo just missed tieing the game in the 54th minute. After a nice cut-back pass by Cash Knight, Lorenzo sent one that was headed fro the top of the goal but the Indian keeper got his fingertips on it to deflect it just over the bar.
The Falcons kept the pressure up but Catawba played solid defense to hold the lead. Finally in the 72nd minute the Falcons tied the game. Mario Garcia sent a pass that slightly deflected off a Catawba defender into the path of Matt Harris who calmly slipped the ball under the charging goalie and into the net for his second goal of the season.
Andrew Landry had a great chance to give Catawba the lead back in the 74th minute but Falcon goalie Alex Moreno made a brilliant save to keep the game tied.
Pfeiffer had a couple of chances late but their shots went wide.
Both teams fought hard in overtime but with time running out in the first overtime Mario Garcia broke free and put it past the keeper to give Pfeiffer the win, 2-1.
Pfeiffer will next host UNC-Pembroke this Friday at 4:00 pm .

This Is What Happens When You Deep Fry a Frozen Turkey 164
Posted by timothy

from the arson-excuse-maker dept.
Too late for many east-coast Americans, but perhaps in time to stop a blaze or two in California, an anonymous reader writes with this video of "a controlled demonstration of why it is a bad idea to fry a frozen turkey." My brother this morning assembled (despite poor directions and questionable parts fit) a deep fryer for a Thanksgiving turkey; we're optimistic, and the turkey seems to be fully thawed at least.

A Cruise to Ancient Greece and Turkey
Take part in an odyssey to the ancient windswept islands of Greece and the fabled coast of Turkey, where you will uncover the living legacy of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations and witness the stunning architectural achievements of the Byzantines.
Tour Details
We appreciate Smithsonian's attention to detail, excellent planning and accommodations, (and most important) erudite speakers and guides."

- Smithsonian Journeys to Milford Sound, South Island, New Zealand
- A Leopard Named "Hollywood"
Join us for an odyssey to the ancient windswept islands of Greece and the fabled coast of Turkey. Cruise from Athens to Istanbul aboard the recently launched Le Lyrial, and discover sites associated with the cradle of Western civilization during excursions that showcase many World Heritage sites. You'll visit some of the classic Greek islands, including Delos, the paramount religious sanctuary of the ancient Greek world; Mykonos, known for its iconic windmills; Santorini, with villages that perch above the volcanic caldera; Rhodes, featuring sites associated with the Knights Templar; and Pátmos, with its Monastery of St. John. And along the Turkish coast you'll visit Ephesus, the most spectacularly preserved Greco-Roman city in the world, and legendary Troy, boasting myriad layers of archaeological marvels. Historian and classicist Diane Cline enhances your experience with insightful commentary, while local residents offer an engaging personal perspective on contemporary Aegean culture.
Optional extensions to Athens and Istanbul/Cappadocia are also offered.
September 28- 29 — U.S., Athens, Greece
Depart U.S. and arrive in Athens, the birthplace of democracy and home to many of history's greatest philosophers and poets from Socrates to Herodotus; Athens is unmatched in its contributions to early Western civilization. Transfer to Piraeus to embark the m.s. Le Lyrial. (D)
September 30 — Delos/Mykonos
The mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, Delos is today a UNESCO World Heritage site and considered to be one of the most sacred islands in the Greek world, as central to Greek spiritual life as Olympia and Delphi. Visit the Sanctuary of Apollo, a spectacularly rich archaeological site with remains of three separate temples from the fifth and sixth centuries B.C. Delos' awe-inspiring ruins also showcase an entire district of ancient houses (700 B.C.), the ancient Theatre (300 B.C.) and the second-century-B.C. House of the Dolphins.
See the magnificent Terrace of the Lions and its legendary statues carved from Náxian marble that have withstood the blight of wind and sea water for nearly 2600 years.
Visit Mykonos, where according to ancient legend, the craggy hills and clefts were formed from the petrified bodies of giants defeated by Hercules. Mykonos' iconic windmills, sugar-white, cube-shaped houses and azure bays epitomize the spectacular beauty of the Greek Isles. The Little Venice neighborhood resembles, in design, Italy's famed canal city. Enjoy free time to stroll the whitewashed streets or stop in an ouzeri to nibble mezethes and sip ouzo, the quintessentially Greek aperitif. Attend the Captain's Welcome Reception this evening. (B,L,R,D)
October 1 — Santorini (Akrotiri)
Sail to Santorini, one of the most spectacular of the Aegean Islands, and into its perfect harbor, a naturally created caldera, beneath which is believed to be the legendary Atlantis, possibly lost during a cataclysmic volcanic eruption in the 16th century B.C. A cable car descends to sea level from the elevated town of Fira, whose stunning white walled buildings stand in stark contrast against the dark volcanic cliffs. Visit the Museum of Prehistoric Thera. On the southern end of Santorini lie the recently excavated (1967) phenomenal ruins of Akrotiri. Held intact by layers of pumice and ash for over 3500 years, Akrotiri's streets reveal the artistry of its mysterious Minoan inhabitants.
This afternoon, join the optional C'est Bon! Culinary Traditions excursion. By special arrangement, savor distinctive island dishes presented by a local chef and paired with native Santorini wines in Fira. (B,L,D)
October 2 — Rhodes
The island of Rhodes has been one of the most prosperous and strategic strongholds in the eastern Mediterranean since the Neolithic period. Walk through Rhodes Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and extraordinarily well-preserved medieval city, built over a great Hellenistic metropolis. A major Christian outpost during the Crusades, it is the site where the Knights of St. John erected the splendid 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters.
Join the optional excursion to walk through the ancient village of Lindos and see the magnificent frescoes on its Byzantine church and the breathtaking views from its clifftop acropolis. (B,L,D)
October 3 — Pátmos
The small island of Pátmos looms large in the history of Christianity. Visit its Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. John, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in 1088, the monastery is still inhabited by monks who continue to preserve it as a pilgrimage site and place of religious study. St. John the Apostle of Ephesus was known to have been exiled to Pátmos for 18 months and very possibly wrote the Book of Revelation here in A.D. 95. Meet residents of Pátmos and Aegina who will discuss contemporary daily life on these ancient Greek islands during the specially arranged Village Forum™. This evening, enjoy a Greek folklore performance by local musicians and dancers on board. (B,L,D)
October 4 — Ephesus, Turkey (Kuşadasi)
The Greco-Roman city of Ephesus is one of the world's most dazzling architectural treasures. The guided tour features the Ephesus Museum, the beautifully restored façade of the Library of Celsus and the Marble Way, which leads to an impressive 24,000-seat amphitheater where St. Paul addressed his Epistle to the Ephesians. According to legend, St. John the Apostle traveled with Mary, the mother of Jesus, to Ephesus. Here, he wrote his Gospel of John and later died and was buried. On the lower end of the slopes of Bulbul mountain, visit the Terrace Houses, where the wealthiest and most prominent families of first-century Ephesus once lived. (B,L,D)
October 5 — Troy (Çanakkale)
Located on a windswept plain near Çanakkale, Troy was immortalized by Homer's 13th-century B.C. Trojan War epic, The Iliad, and inspired the tales of ancient Greek mythology at the core of Western literature. Explore the remnants of the Bronze Age citadel and nine cities built over a span of millennia on the very site where Troy fell, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This evening, join your traveling companions at the Captain's Farewell Reception. (B,L,R,D)
October 6 — Istanbul/U.S.
Disembark in this legendary metropolis straddling the Bosphorus Strait. Continue on the Post-Cruise Options, or depart for the U.S. (B)
Pre- and Post-Cruise Options and Optional Excursions are available at additional cost. Details will be included with your reservation confirmation.
All program features are contingent upon final brochure pricing.

Asia is the earth's largest continent, comprising just under 30 percent of the world's landmass. It borders the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Indian Ocean to the south, and it is joined to Europe at its west end. Asia is comprised of 48 sovereign countries, with the Middle East included. While the majority of Russia is located in Asia, a section of the country is technically considered part of Europe as well.
Being the largest continent, Asia is home to a great deal of diversity as well. Approximately 4 billion people populate Asia, which is about 60 percent of the global population. Among these people, well over 1,500 languages and dialects are spoken throughout the continent. Of the world's largest economies, China ranks second (GDP was $8.3 trillion in 2012) and Japan ranks third, with a $6 trillion GDP in 2012. Across the continent there exists a wide range of rich cultural heritages.
Throughout the centuries, Asiatic countries have played major roles in international affairs. Asia has been home to many empires, hosted many wars and has been the subject of much political and social strife. North Korea and parts of China remain the last bastions of Communism in the world.

The Charge 10 LR by CamelBak differs from the typical CamelBak; the reservoir is in the lumbar. The advantage of having the reservoir in the lumbar is that doing so reduces the stress on the top of your back while in the riding position. If you've ever rode with a CamelBak then you most-likely know that when water tends to pool in the lumbar it creates a bulge, becoming uncomfortable and straining on your back. CamelBak's answer is the Charge 10 LR: An ultra-light, lumbar-based reservoir pack with MTB-specific cargo. Ride comfortably and stay hydrated over the long haul.
Reservoir Features: Antidote™ Lumbar Reservoir with 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fill port, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening

Stroke Recovery
Roger Maxwell of Dallas didn't smoke. He exercised regularly and kept his weight down. But at 49 he suffered a stroke that left him wheelchair-bound and unable to speak words more than two syllables. Maxwell's stroke came from an arterial dissection; an artery in the back of his neck split in half and blocked the flow of blood to his brain. And when brain cells become starved for blood, they get damaged or die, making simple tasks like eating, walking, and talking nearly impossible.
The Conventional Rx: Recovery from stroke is long and complicated, and understandably often accompanied by hopelessness. So doctors usually prescribe antidepressants, daily aspirin to keep the blood from clotting again, and very limited physical therapy. But antidepressants come loaded with side effects, aspirin can cause stomach ulcers or internal bleeding, and many stroke victims give up in frustration before they can regain their mobility and plummet further into depression.
The Alternative Rx: A rehab plan that included Iyengar yoga, time on the treadmill, supplements, and speech therapy. Maxwell was determined to walk and talk again, but his stroke affected the section of the brain that controls balance, which made walking difficult. Since walking requires not only balance, but strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance, a combination of yoga (for balance, coordination, and flexibility) and treadmill time (for strength and endurance) made the most sense. With its emphasis on precise positioning and the aid of props, Iyengar yoga in particular gave Maxwell the help he needed. Maxwell also supplemented with omega-3s, vitamin E, and Co-Q10, all of which have been proven to enhance brain function.
The Outcome: "The stroke rendered me unable to do just about everything but think clearly. I felt like I was imprisoned in my own body. I needed to break free," says Maxwell. Within a year of his stroke, he had shed his wheelchair and regained full control of his speech. In fact, Maxwell completed the Dallas White Rock marathon less than two years after losing his ability to walk.

I-43 North-South Corridor
Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties
|View SE, I-43 North-South Corridor project location.
Project location
I-43, Silver Spring Dr. to WIS 60, Glendale to Grafton, in Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties.
Project overview
The I-43 North-South Freeway is among the busiest routes in Wisconsin and is a critical Interstate link between southeast Wisconsin and the entire state. I-43 provides access to manufacturers, merchants, commuters and tourists within southeast Wisconsin, the Milwaukee metropolitan area, and other areas including Green Bay, Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Chicago.
WisDOT has maintained and rehabilitated the ramps, bridges, pavements and other structures on I-43 for 50 years. The North-South Freeway has exceeded its design life and it is no longer economical to maintain. The corridor needs full evaluation, so it can serve the communities into the future.
The project team will study the corridor, including the service interchanges and adjacent arterial roads in Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties. This review will:
- Identify safety concerns
- Assess physical condition and configuration of the roadways
- Identify potential environmental concerns and socioeconomic factors that may be affected by the corridor
Study - Long term planning with no construction activity at this time.

General government net lending/borrowing for India©
Net lending (+)/ borrowing (-) is calculated as revenue minus total expenditure. This is a core Government Finance Statistics (GFS) balance that measures the extent to which general government is either putting financial resources at the disposal of other sectors in the economy and nonresidents (net lending), or utilizing the financial resources generated by other sectors and nonresidents (net borrowing). This balance may be viewed as an indicator of the financial impact of general government activity on the rest of the economy and nonresidents (Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 (GFSM 2001), paragraph 4.17). Note: Net lending (+)/borrowing (-) is also equal to net acquisition of financial assets minus net incurrence of liabilities.

USC-Aiken Uses Two Out Production to Slide Past Softball 4-1, 9-1
March 18, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. USC-Aiken put together some impressive two-out production scoring 12 of their 13 runs on Friday with two outs on the board en route to a 4-1 and 8-1 sweep over Pfeiffer University at Jack Ingram Field. The Lady Pacers improve to 17-9 while the Lady Falcons fall to 13-15.
Each team traded runs in the first as a two-out double by USCAs Lauren Locklear (Charleston, SC) kept the inning alive for a Kelley King (Chesterfield, SC) RBI-single to center. In Pfeiffers half, a Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) run-scoring single to right scored Celia Dew (Sanford, NC). Dew reached with a one-out single earlier in the frame.
Single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth added insurance for the Lady Pacers in the 4-1 win. A two-out RBI double to right-center by Kayle Denham (Palatka, FL) plated Hillary Stewart (Blythewood, SC) in the fourth. Brittney Williamson (Lexington, SC) added a run-scoring single in the fifth while Locklear added another RBI-double in the sixth.
Lauren Rickabaugh (North Augusta, SC) earned the win in the circle tossing five frames, allowing one run on three hits with six strikeouts. Kylee Knop (Oxford, GA) earned the save throwing the final two allowing one hit with a strikeout.
Starting the nightcap, the Lady Pacers quickly added three two-out runs in the second as a two-run triple to right by Denham scored Lindsey Jones (North Augusta, SC) and Whitney Clary (Newberry, SC) who each reached on one out singles. Williamson followed plating Denham with a quick single of her own.
With two outs in the top of the fifth, Brandy Bossle (North East, MD) kept the frame alive with a base hit, allowing for Denham to smack a two-run shot to left-center to put the visitors up five. Pfeiffer got on the board in game two in the fifth as Allison Braswell (Asheboro, NC) led off with a single to left, later coming around on a two-out double to center by Rachel LaBar (Bradenton, FL).
Denham would add her fifth RBI in game two with a ground out in the sixth, before Locklear drove in two more with a double to left-center. Stewart would push the lead to eight and help end the contest early with a RBI-single to cap off the four-run sixth.
India Kornegay (Eufaula, AL) earned the complete game in the nightcap allowing just the one run with three hits while fanning nine.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Monday after a weekend off with a Conference Carolinas twinbill with Belmont Abbey. First pitch on Monday is set for 2:00 p.m.

One of the interesting things about leading chocolate tours is that I get to meet a wide swatch of people who have various interests. Some just like to come and taste, others have more professional aspirations. When Todd Masonis joined me a few years ago, we had some talks about his idea of opening a bean-to-bar hot chocolate salon. I had a pretty good amount of experience meeting with – and tasting – many of the American bean-to-bar chocolates, folks who were participating in what Chloé Doutre-Roussel, whose is one of the most knowledgable people about chocolate that I know, refers to as "The American Chocolate Revolution." And I was encouraging, but also knew of the difficulties these folks faced in terms of building a facility to make chocolate.
Many of these people are mavericks, with the "revolution" starting over a decade ago, and now encompasses perhaps two dozen or so enterprising people who've been producing bean-to-bar chocolate in the states. Todd had started a successful internet company so I could tell he had the drive to do something new and interesting, but sourcing the beans and getting the equipment together isn't easy. So no one was more surprised than me to get a note in my Inbox recently from Todd, who said that inspired by our talks on that trip, he was about to open his new place, Dandelion Chocolate, producing bean-to-bar chocolate in San Francisco's Mission district with his business partner, Cameron Ring. And I was intrigued.

Brier woman killed by lion at Calif. animal park
Family photo
Dianna Hanson had what her father described as a "dream job" at Cat Haven in Dunlap, Calif.
Family photo
Dianna Hanson had what her father described as a "dream job" at Cat Haven in Dunlap, Calif.
Associated Press
This Oct. 12, 2012 photo released by JP Marketing shows a 4-year-old male African lion named Cous Cous at Cat Haven, a private wild animal park in Dunlap, Calif. Authorities say the lion killed Dianna Hanson, 24, of Brier, an intern working at the park.
Authorities said the intern, who was from Brier, was attacked and killed when she entered the male African lion's enclosure at Cat Haven about 45 miles east of Fresno. They said she died quickly of a broken neck.
Sheriff's deputies responding to an emergency call from Cat Haven found the woman inside the enclosure with the lion nearby, Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Bob Miller said.
Another park worker couldn't lure the lion into another pen, so deputies shot and killed it to safely reach the woman. But she died at the scene, Miller said.
Paul Hanson, an attorney, identified the victim as his daughter Dianna Hanson. He said he drove his daughter from her home in Brier on New Year's Day, arriving at Cat Haven Jan. 2.
"She was very excited," Hanson told The Associated Press late Wednesday. "It was just a dream job for her."
Hanson said she had been fascinated by big cats from an earlier age.
"She was absolutely fearless," he said. "I always had a premonition I would get a call like this one day."
California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Janice Mackey said she was unaware if any state regulations would prohibit an employee from entering an exotic animal's enclosure.
Cat Haven founder and executive director Dale Anderson was crying as he read a one-sentence statement about the fatal mauling at the private zoo he has operated since 1993.
Investigators were trying to determine why the intern was inside the enclosure and what might have provoked the attack, sheriff's Sgt. Greg Collins said. The facility is normally closed on Wednesdays, and only one other worker was there when the mauling happened, he said.
The lion, a 4-year-old male named Cous Cous, had been raised at Cat Haven since it was a cub, said Tanya Osegueda, a spokeswoman for Project Survival, the nonprofit that operates the animal park.
Since the 100-acre facility just west of Kings Canyon National Park opened two decades ago, it has housed numerous big cats, including tigers, leopards and other exotic species. It is permitted to house exotic animals by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and is regulated as a zoo by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Results of the last 13 USDA inspections show no violations dating back to March 2010. The most recent inspection was Feb. 4.
Despite state regulations requiring annual inspections, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife most recently inspected the facility in January 2011, when the inspector found it in "good condition" after checking animal health and features such as enclosures.
"We have to do the best we can with the resources we're provided," said department spokeswoman Jordan Traverso. "Regardless of whether it was inspected, that wouldn't have prevented this from happening."
Cat Haven's current "restricted species" permit, which expires in November, states the park was authorized to house 47 animals but had only 28. The animals must be used for scientific or educational purposes.
Actress Tippi Hedren, who founded the Shambala Preserve in Southern California, home to 53 seized or abandoned exotic pets, expressed dismay over the killing of the lion.
"It wasn't the lion's fault. It's the human's fault always," Hedren said.
Nicole Paquette, vice president of the Humane Society of the United States, said the victim of Wednesday's attack should never have been in the enclosure with the animal.
"These are big cats that are extremely dangerous, and they placed a volunteer in the actual cage with a wild animal," she said. "That should have never happened."
Officials at another big cat sanctuary, Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Fla., told The Associated Press last year that at least 21 people, including five children, have been killed and 246 mauled by exotic cats in the United States since 1990. Over that period, 254 cats escaped and 143 were killed.
In 2007, a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo was killed by police after jumping out of its enclosure and fatally mauling a 17-year-old boy and injuring two other people.
Cat Haven has housed Bengal tigers, jaguars and leopards as well as bobcats native to the area. The facility's website says it promotes conservation and preservation of wild cats in their native habitats and offers visitors tours and educational outreach.
Anderson said Project Survival would investigate to see if the intern and the other worker on-site followed the group's protocols.
"We take every precaution to ensure the safety of our staff, animals and guests," he said in a statement.

Another possible link indicates the Phoenicians brought them to Spain approximately 1100 B.C. This breed is one of the oldest and largest of four Sennenhunde (Swiss Mountain Dogs) varieties. As a product of interbreeding with native dogs, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog functioned as a herder, guardian of livestock and home and draft dog. In 1908, Professor Heim, an avid fancier, studied and encouraged the revival of this breed.

This devoted family companion has a calm and easygoing nature. This breed is sensitive and attentive.
Early training should make this dog aware of its place in the family. An attentive learner, this breed takes to training well.
Moderate daily exercise, such as a walk or a romp will keep this dog happy. This breed likes being active in the cold weather. Activities can include pulling, tracking and competitive obedience.
The Swissy is slow to mature, taking 2 to 3 years. Owners must devote plenty of time and attention. As a loyal family member, this dog can be territorial. This breed possesses a pack instinct and will be upset if a member is missing. Owners should introduce visitors to the dog. With its watchdog ability, this breed barks at intruders and noises. Households should be in cool climates.
No breeders listed at this time.

First off, let me say that Cameron Indoor Stadium rocks.
I've been to two Duke basketball games, and that arena is like venom for opposing teams. It's quite possibly the most raucous venue in all of sports.
The Cameron Crazies are lunatics, and the organized chants are abrasive and creative.
But some can be borderline over the top.
What a handful of Cameron Crazies pulled off on Wednesday was brutal, necessary and uncalled for.
Duke was playing its rival,
First, it was faint, then gradually the voices echoed a little louder – "How's your grandma?" The tune arose from, again, a handful of crazies.
Lewis, a freshman at
Sports are to be enjoyed, and it's fine to be a fan of other teams. If anything, it makes for a great debate, or in my case, tolerant. (I am a Cleveland Browns' fan and my girlfriend is a fan of the Baltimore Ravens).
Don't judge, but I am guilty of showing her the Youtube video from the Cleveland Browns' final home game in 1995 before they moved to
It's fine to argue and disagree with a fans of other teams. It becomes dim-witted when comments turn aggressive, threatening and distasteful.
I didn't lose all respect for the Cameron Crazies, because it wasn't a full out chant by the entire student section. However, those few making those verbal taunts put a small stain on the rest of the group.
But it's not only at the college and professional ranks where I've noticed fans become ruthless.
Covering local sports, I hear what's being spewed out from the stands.
There's been raunchy signs, yelling at the student-athletes and berating the officials – oh yes, the officials take the most abuse.
We are talking about athletics, and in most cases, dealing with students under the ages of 18. Sports at the high school and younger stage are means of keeping kids in shape and active, teamwork, responsibility and discipline.
Parents shouting negative connotations don't need to be there. It's a sign of unsportsmanship that the up-and-coming athletes don't need to pick up on.
Unruly fans and parents give sports a bad name, especially with the little ones playing attention.
It's an embarrassing act when I see fights in bars or at sporting events, or fans of the home team ridicule someone else wearing the visiting teams garb.
Keep it together. Others are watching.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs across these metrics: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
LEED applies to virtually all building types -- commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle -- design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fitout and significant retrofit. Certifying a building project is based on which construction type a building falls into with the exception of schools and healthcare projects, which require very specific guidelines.

SACS have said that the Primrose U15A player who claimed foul play in a weekend match was 'legally cleaned'.
They went further to say the player, Imran Fredericks (14), was guilty of serious foul play in the lead up to the incident.
In a text message to keo.co.za, SACS coach Grant Ball said video evidence will show Fredericks eye-gouging their player before he was legally cleaned. He called reports that were circulating in the press, in which Fredericks and Primrose officials claim their player was stomped on, 'crap'.
Fredericks left the field with a broken nose, cut eye, mild concussion, bruises and swelling. Fredericks was taken to City Park Hospital after leaving the field and then lodged a complaint of assault at Claremont police station on Sunday. However, he was told that the WPRU would have to deal with the case first as it involved two minors during an organised rugby game.
WP general manager of youth rugby Theo Kleynhans confirmed the union will start with their investigation this week.
'We are aware of the incident and we will investigate the matter,' Kleyhans told keo.co.za on Monday. 'But we will have to get the full story from both sides. We can't just react after hearing things from one team. We will also see if we can get proper evidence, like video recordings and eye witnesses.'
Kleynhans added that foul play wasn't a major problem in WP junior rugby.
'This is a rare incident and it will be sorted out. We had a matter last season where a boy hit a referee but that was dealt with accordingly. I wouldn't say there is a problem with discipline in junior rugby in the WP region.'
