About the AMC
The Asian Music Circuit is the leading promoter of Asian music in the UK. It has established a privileged reputation for the variety and high calibre of its tours and concerts, and the quality and innovation of its education projects.
The AMC produces seminars, recordings, films and exhibitions to generate a greater awareness and appreciation of the excellence and beauty of Asian music, and to develop a new generation of talented musicians. The AMC's Museum of Asian Music in London is a resource centre housing musical instruments, interactive touchscreens, and a vast audio-visual archive.
By providing access to the full range of Asian music, the AMC is one of the most important organisations of its kind in Europe. Created in 1989 by the Arts Council of Great Britain, it has been run as an independent company and registered charity funded by Arts Council England since 1991.

Mission statement
The AMC has set national benchmarks for excellence and high standards in Asian music promotion since 1991. It now aspires to connect the future with the past by presenting the great music traditions of Asia, which are increasingly rare and often fragile. Artists chosen by the AMC retain the integrity and spiritual heritage of these traditions and are treated with the dignity, respect and sense of equality they fully deserve.
To make the music of Asia accessible to all sectors of society, the AMC promotes an innovative UK-wide touring and education programme that includes exhibitions, and a unique multimedia resource centre driven by a digital and interactive audio-visual database and archive aimed especially at the young.
The AMC works both with artists from across Asia – especially South Asia – and also with UK-based musicians. Our concerts take place in venues throughout the UK. View past events >
Over the years, our projects have involved folk music, such as that of the Manganiyars and Langas from Rajasthan; devotional and mystic music, such as the great qawwali singers, the Sabri brothers of Pakistan and the Nizami brothers from India; Indian film and popular music, including the legendary Asha Bhosle and Jagjit Singh; contemporary music, including Shakti with John Mclaughlin and Zakir Hussain; Sainkho Namchylak and Yat-Kha from Tuva; Fun-Da-Mental, Sitarfunk and SomaSonic from the UK; Orange Street from India; and the wonderful 'Les Dangereuses', a collaboration featuring Shubha Mudgal (India), Kandya Kouyate (Mali) and Juliet Roberts (UK); puppetry and gamelan from Indonesia; the Kamkars of Iran; the Baul singers of Bengal; the Naxi musicians of China; the great Indian classical traditions, with vocal and instrumental performances from sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar; the khyal singers Pts.

Strange taste goes well in my protein shakes, not so good solo
Posted by 5388608241826300245 on Dec 30, 2012
This is great because CRUNCHY raw almond butter is difficult to find. It's not my favorite, but I'll buy it 2nd to No One!!
The oils are not as separated as some, which is a definite plus. Just not as strong an almond flavor as I like ...
Posted by Reviewer2099937 on Aug 10, 2013
Just too expensive

Too salty. Not really my taste, had better Almond butters... Would not recommend.

The Cherries currently sit 21st in the League One table, and have won just one of their 13 games in all competitions, but the former England international goalkeeper says his team-mates are capable of outperforming any team in the division.
But James insists that the Cherries need to improve their defending from set plays.
He told the club's official website: "I think the team are good. None of the teams we have played against have been capable of doing what we are capable of doing when we get it right.
"In training we do some fantastic stuff. We just need to continue doing that, tighten up the set plays and all of a sudden we'll rise up the league.
"We have conceded four goals from set-plays in the last three games and it is something that needs to be worked out."

How much has the average cost of attending college at four-year degree-granting institution in the U.S. risen since the 1969-1970 school year?
For an American student who enrolled in a four-year college in the fall of 1969, the average they paid for their tuition, required fees, room and board totaled $754, which when we adjust for inflation in terms of constant 2011 U.S. dollars, works out to be the near modern day equivalent of $4,619.
But a student enrolling in the same kind of institution in the fall of 2011 for the 2011-2012 school year would pay $13,608. Nearly three times as much.

Below is the poem entitled My Sphere which was written by poet
Widjanarko. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Yanny Widjanarko
I'm taking a moment with my brain, my memories
Each of period that I've been through
Flashing like bolts, seems like unwillingly to recall
A single blink of my eyes brought me to the world of unknown
I still see the same sky
I still feel the same breeze
But I stood on a different situations
Bleeding on the journey that I chose
Each foot print be the story, be the history which rusted
Life is just a matter of time
That's what those people said
Hanging on the opportunities which achieved
I lean on everything that I could grip
Struggle to stand over pieces of me
Though sometimes sad to be alone, sick and hurt
Isolated by the crowds of my head
I build my own chamber, my own kingdom
Where people cannot see
Where people cannot reach

"Good Girls Go Bad, for a Day" is the headline of today's "Thursday Styles" front-pager examining why women these days use Halloween as an excuse to dress like sluts, and it's entirely unsurprising such a piece has become the top item on the Times site's most-e-mailed list. The article is filled with quotes from feminist academics and gender-roles scholars, but that's all a bit too high-toned for our tastes. Instead we checked in with New York's Ariel Levy, who examined the rise of "raunch culture" in her Female Chauvinist Pigs — and who's so over feminist shibboleths she actually spent a week with the Girls Gone Wild guys while researching the book.
Okay, so why are women getting so skanked-up on Halloween these days?
There is a huge aspect of generational rebellion to raunch culture: Nobody wants to turn into her mother, and whether your mother was/is a radical feminist or a right-wing Evangelical Christian — both pretty common among baby-boomers — either way it's going to get under her skin if you dress as a stripper to go trick-or-treating. Or if you dress as a stripper to go to junior high.
What about the insidious machinations of the patriarchal, capitalist Skank-Industrial Complex?
Yes, it also sort of is the patriarchal, capitalist Skank-Industrial Complex. We're very obsessed with immediate gratification in America, and we're obviously really into fame and celebrity — which we've completely divorced from virtuosity. So, in that context, you can kind of understand why teen girls are posting pictures of their tushes on their MySpace pages and looking for the sluttiest possible Halloween costume.
Are you going to be skankily dressed this year?
I'm pretty sure I'm not doing a costume this year, but you never know. I didn't think I would do it last year, and I ended up in a fairly elaborate elf suit. I think when I was in like third grade I was a bag of jelly beans for Halloween. My mother engineered the costume by filling a clear plastic garbage bag with lots of different colored balloons, and me. By the end of the night, a lot of them had popped. So I probably looked both skanky and deflated.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- June 5, 2002 -- The University of Rhode Island Thomas M. Ryan Center will open its doors for a community open house featuring John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band on Sunday, June 23 from 1 to 4 p.m.
The opening marks the culmination of a two-year construction project, the largest in the Universitys history.
Visitors will be able to tour Rhode Islands newest athletics and entertainment venue, climb a rock wall, try on URI athletic team uniforms in the locker rooms and meet URI players, coaches and other celebrities. Beaver Brown begins performing at 2:30 p.m.
The music, interactive games, and tours are all free.
"This is our way of thanking our supporters throughout Rhode Island and the region," said Robert M. Beagle, URI vice president for University Advancement. "Were proud of this new facility and want all of our friends to share in this wonderful achievement. Without the support of our alumni, the business community and residents of Rhode Island, we could not have gotten this done."
The 8,000-seat, $54 million Ryan Center is located on the Kingston Campus. Access can be gained from the north off West Alumni Avenue or from the south, off Route 138 to Keaney Road.
"Were eager to show off this great building," said Terry Butler of Global Spectrum, the management company hired by the University to run the facility. "Were asking the public to come join us for a hot dog, some popcorn and some games. We want people to sample all this great venue has to offer, so when we host ball games, concerts, and cultural events, theyll be eager to come back."
Work on the Center began on July 13, 2000 when Gov. Lincoln Almond, operating a crane, swung a wrecking ball into the old field house at Meade Stadium, marking the start of site preparation for the 200,000-square-foot center.
For many months, donors, alumni, and representatives of the media and corporations have been touring the building, walking through the stages of construction of the event floor, the concourse level and the luxury suite level. They toured the concourse and six luxury boxes, which have views of the arena floor and the Meade Stadium football field. They also viewed the seating layout, , and the locations for the seven concession stands and 10 restrooms.
The Center puts students in prime viewing sections along the floor on three sides of the arena. Because of the steep design of the seating bowl, no seat will be more than 74 feet from the action.
The building stands 86 feet high, is built with tall walls of glass windows and features three stair towers that are modeled after lighthouses. The event level houses the arena and event floor space; the main concourse provides access to spectator facilities, including general seating, restrooms, and concessions; the suite level will provide a venue for prime viewing and food service. Two lobbies will be provided on the ground level. An Alumni Room will also be available for public rental.
In March, URI said goodbye to Keaney Gym as its main athletic and entertainment venue with basketball games, concerts, special events and many great memories. URI had long ago outgrown Keaney, which was built in 1953 for a student body of 2,183. The University now enrolls more than 14,000. Keaney will now be the headquarters of the URI womens volleyball team, and the Institute for International Sports New England Basketball Hall of Fame.

Tourists Flock To Downton, England
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. An English village is getting an accidental tourism boost thanks to the hit British TV show "Downton Abbey.The show is set in a location that's fictional but that hasn't stopped American tourists from swarming Downton, England. The village has absolutely nothing to do with Lord Grantham or Lady Mary, nor does it have an abbey or a great house, which hasn't kept the local White Horse Pub from turning itself into an unofficial tourist office. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Incoming New York Times Co. CEO Mark Thompson has repeatedly insisted he didn't know the details of a massive child abuse scandal brewing at his previous employer, the BBC, until it was too late, and no one has produced a smoking gun to prove otherwise. At most companies, that would be good enough.
Not at the Times, which harbors an institutional belief that it must be the purest of the pure if its denunciations of corruption and cover-ups at other powerful institutions are to have any weight.
As Thompson starts his new job this week, two questions hang over his head: Can he convince the rank-and-file that the account he's given is the whole truth and that he did all that could reasonably have been expected of him under the circumstances? And does it matter — or is the Times locked into sticking with him, come what may?
Times insiders and veterans can't help but notice the parallels between the controversy around Thompson and two earlier episodes: the one that ensued in 2003 after reporter Jayson Blair was found to have been plagiarizing and fabricating elements of his stories, and the one in 2005 focusing on reporter Judith Miller and her Iraq War coverage.
In both instances, Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. was quick to demonstrate his support for embattled journalists — executive editor Howell Raines and Miller — only to withdraw that support after a steady drip-drip of damning revelations provoked unrest in the newsroom. Both Raines and Miller ultimately resigned, leaving a paper weakened, at least temporarily, by the internal struggles they instigated.
Sulzberger's backing of Thompson has so far been unequivocal. In an earnings call held Oct. 25, he said Thompson had provided a "detailed account" of how and when he learned of the child molestation allegations against the late BBC host Jimmy Savile, and that Sulzberger remained convinced that Thompson "abides by high ethical standards." While there are discrepancies between what Thompson says he knew and what others say they told him — and while some find it simply impossible to believe he didn't know more than he says he knew, given how widespread the rumors about Savile were in the U.K. — he is said to have vowed to Sulzberger and the rest of the Times Co. board that there are no more shoes left to drop.
On Friday, a Times Co. spokesman reiterated Sulzberger's previous messages. "Mark Thompson will be our CEO on Nov. 12," he said. "He has the full support of management and the board."
The same can't be said of the newsroom, where the attitude is wait-and-see. Reporters and editors are keeping an eye not just on the inquiry in the U.K. and what it turns up, but also on how leaders within the newsroom are choosing to respond. Already, former executive editor Bill Keller has publicly likened the BBC scandal to the crimes of Penn State's Jerry Sandusky, and op-ed columnist Joe Nocera asked outright whether Thompson is "the right man for the job."

Va. exhibit explores songs of social change
RICHMOND, Va. — A new exhibition at the Virginia Historical Society is exploring music that defined the Civil War and civil rights eras.
The recently opened "Revolutions: Songs of Social Change" exhibit is on display until January.
The exhibit stems from a partnership with the General Assembly's M.L.K. Jr. Memorial Commission as part of the the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
It features American music memorabilia such as Pete Seeger's banjo head, an original copy of the Battle Hymn of the Republic and an 1859 handwritten version of Dixie.
The exhibit is broken into six sections: patriotic, sentimental, spirituals, freedom, dixie, and ballads.
Virginia Historical Society officials say songs are cultural touchstones used to convey ideas, inspire patriotism, reward sacrifice, and encourage loyalty.
Fund, Germany agree on aid for Nazi victims
BERLIN — A fund for Jewish victims of Nazi crimes says it has reached an agreement with the German government for Berlin to provide some $1 billion in homecare for victims.
A spokeswoman for the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany said recently that about 56,000 survivors in about 46 different countries will receive financial support under the agreement for a four-year-period from 2014-2017.
Hillary Kessler-Godin, speaking by phone from New York, said the amount of financial aid for each person will depend on individual needs and circumstances.
The agreement was negotiated Thursday in Jerusalem with the German Ministry of Finance, which did not reply for comment. The fund also provides survivors with other welfare services like food, medicine or transportation.

Quarterbacks will go early in next week's NFL Draft, despite question marks about all of them.
Seven quarterbacks could conceivably go among the top 40 picks. We already know Cam Newton of Auburn could go No. 1 to the Carolina Panthers, and that Blaine Gabbert of Missouri is likely to go among the top five.
However, five other quarterbacks could either be first-round picks, or early second-round selections — Andy Dalton (TCU), Colin Kaepernick (Nevada), Jake Locker (Washington), Ryan Mallett (Arkansas), and Christian Ponder (Florida State).
Either teams are desperate for quarterbacks, or some of these prospects have been underrated, or overrated. Actually, it's all of those.
"There are a lot of good quarterbacks in this class, but not many great ones," said ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay. "There's a lot of if's in this class, and a lot of teams that need quarterbacks. That's ultimately the big reason why we're going to see a run on quarterbacks."
An all-time high six quarterbacks went in the first round of the 1983 draft ¬ John Elway (No. 1), Todd Blackledge (No. 7), Jim Kelly (No. 14), Tony Eason (No. 15), Ken O'Brien (No. 24) and Dan Marino (No. 27).
The odds are against six quarterbacks going in the first round next week. Remember, if the lockout lasts until the late summer, rookie quarterbacks will enter the league with little time to learn the offense.
However, the quarterback quest will get very interesting late in the first round. Instead of waiting until the second round, quarterback-needy teams like the Bengals, 49ers, or Vikings could trade up into the late first round, grabbing the quarterback they need before someone else does.
Looking at the five quarterbacks that will be coveted once Newton and Gabbert are gone:
Andy Dalton
Why he's intriguing: Dalton's skills fit a West Coast offense.
Who could take him: If the Bengals do not take a quarterback at No. 4, they may target Dalton with their second-round pick (No. 35). In fact, they may like Dalton well enough to trade up into the first round to get him. If the Redskins trade down from the No. 10 pick, Dalton could be one of their targets. The 49ers' first-round pick (No. 7) is too low to get either Newton or Gabbert, so Dalton might look good to the 49ers in the second round (No. 45) if he is still there.
Colin Kaepernick
Why he's intriguing: Kaepernick is a terrific athlete with a powerful arm and ideal size (6-foot-4). He was also a four-year starter in college.
Who could take him: It might take a serious run on quarterbacks for Kaepernick to go in the first round. But Kaepernick has been on a whirlwind tour, working out for a number of teams including the Broncos, Browns, Chiefs, Colts, Eagles, Raiders and Titans. The interest in Kaepernick is legit. Hard to believe he will not go in the top 40.
Jake Locker
Why he's intriguing: Locker would have likely been a top 10 pick had he entered the 2010 draft. However, his stock dropped because he did not throw accurately from the pocket as a senior.
Who could take him: Locker has been heavily linked to the Seahawks (No. 25), who would win points with fans by taking a former University of Washington star. Even if they re-sign Matt Hasselbeck, that means the Seahawks aren't sold on Charlie Whitehurst. Locker may be groomed as Hasselbeck's successor. The Redskins may also have Locker on their radar, as someone who fits coach Mike Shanahan's offense.
"When you look at what Locker's best skill set is, it's to be on the perimeter, it's to be moving in the pocket," said NFL Network draft analyst Michael Lombardi. "He's not an accurate quarterback, and he's not a drop-back passer. Mike's short passing game is about being on the edges and challenging. He's looking for athleticism at quarterback. So when I look at Locker, he's a guy that would do what Mike does."
Ryan Mallett
Why he's intriguing: Nobody in the draft throws a better ball than Mallett. There have been concerns about past drug use rumors in college, but his talent is not questioned.
"Mallet, if he matures and if the character issues are not an issue, he has first-round talent," McShay said.
Who could take him: The Titans could jump on Mallet in the second round (No. 39) if he lasts that long. The Patriots, holding the first pick in the second round (No. 33), may be willing to deal that pick to any of the quarterback-needy teams interested in Mallett.
Christian Ponder
Why he's intriguing: Ponder has a skill set similar to Dalton that should translate well to a West Coast system. He has impressed coaches with his understanding of offensive concepts.
Who could take him: If the Bills don't take a quarterback at No. 3, Ponder will be on their radar in the second round (No. 34). Ponder is also another Redskins possibility.

It started off so great. The cast is really excellent even though the story is kind of cliche. Sadly, it loses steam in the last hour or so, but it's worth a watch.

71. The Kids Are All Right (B+)
72. The English Patient (A-)
1996's Best Picture winner is an adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's 1992 novel, which was the first Canadian novel to win the Booker Prize (as well as the first of three Governor General's Awards for Ondaatje); since I'm reading all the Canadian Booker winners, I decided to watch the film. Overall, I'd put this on the list of films that I liked more than the books they're adapted from. The screenplay by the late Anthony Minghella (also the director) corrects some of the problems I had with the novel by providing some dramatic impetus to the question of who the English Patient is by the changes to Caravaggio's backstory (in the novel, there's really no reason that anyone should care who he is, and nothing would have changed if they'd never found out who he was). I think the theme of transcending nationalities and such is also better conveyed. They've shifted the focus from Hana and Kip to Almacy and Katharine, which works fine (though it was Juliette Binoche who won the Oscar anyway; I guess the Canadians in Hollywood were too busy playing Americans, so they had to recruit a Frenchwoman and an American to play Hana and Carvaggio). Minghella also cuts out the unhappy ending to Hana and Kip's relationship, which I'm sure some people think is Hollywoodized, but I'm fine with, because I thought their breakup in the novel was unconvincing (like Ondaatje suddenly realized that the story was almost over and if things ended well it wouldn't be "art"). On the demerit scale, the charge that it's long and ponderous has a bit of merit; and I think the character of Geoffrey Clifton really needed more time than the story gives him, given how important his actions are toward the climax. Still, I think it's a very solid film.

Re: Movies Seen in 2010
It's a nice different take on the cheeky 80's film. Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton really make the movie + the Medusa sequence is great imo. Since a sequel was just announced I'm very curious to see where they go. There are unused elements from the first film they could use like the Shield & Helmet gifts from the Greek Gods. That aside all of Greek mythology is really at their disposal to play with.

Re: Movies Seen in 2010
25th Hour: A few critics, including Roger Ebert, chose to place this Spike Lee "joint," as it were, as one of the top 10 films of the decade. To be honest, I don't see it. Norton's performance is terrific, as are Brian Cox, Barry Pepper, Rosario Dawson, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The direction, cinematography, music, and editing are all fine (the use of jump cuts incorporating multiple takes might be off-putting to some, but I don't mind the stylistic flourishes). But what prevents this from being equal to Lee's best work (Do The Right Thing) is the utter obtrusiveness of 9/11 imagery into the narrative. Every time Lee interjects with that stuff (the main title sequence showcasing the temporary memorial at night, a long take with Pepper and Hoffman overlooking ground zero, a short conversation that touches on the firefighters killed in the attack) it feels exactly like what it is: a tangent that has been dropped into this story (indeed, the novel in which the film is based was published before 9/11 even happened). There are a few other moments that set the film back. A long subplot with Hoffman (and Anna Paquin) overwhelms the central story for a bit too long--some more careful editing here could have easily brought the film in at or under two hours. A long fantasy sequence at the end of the film begins with several shots of the citizens of New York smiling at Norton as he drives out of the city. The point is made, but it's hard not to laugh at this endless montage of people with dopey smiles on their faces, especially when it's punctuated with a sentimental bit between Norton and a child. The end result is a film that is good, but not great, entry in Lee's filmography. He's easily one of the ten best directors still working in the United States, but it's a shame that he hasn't had more opportunities to direct feature films in the past ten years. A film like 25th Hour would probably be a minor entry, and not elevated to higher status, if studios would give him the chance.

While it had a horrid USdomestic box office of only $90m it's worldwide total isn't shabby at all standing at $329.5m to date. Disney isn't likely to lose any money on this film but they have to be dissapointed the US audience didn't show up.
Is it possible all the fuss over Jake as the Prince here in the US had people not going when overseas they obviously didn't share the hatred in casting?

Re: Movies Seen in 2010
The one-liners aren't as funny nor as often. The action, what little there is to speak of, is solely played for laughs, but it elicits more groans. The puppetry effects aren't as effective, especially with the film's new creations. The cast isn't as good (Casey Jones is gone, April has been re-cast, and two of the Turtles have different voices). The lighting is a lot brighter (even at night), which offers no help for the film's atmosphere. Like most sequels, a lot of the same plot points are re-hashed from the first film. There's a terrible musical sequence with Vanilla Ice (remember him?) offering us the spectacle of classically-trained actor David Warner dancing to "Go Ninjas, Go Ninjas, Go!" And it's all over in barely more than 80 minutes. At times, it offers some childish amusement (I can see why it appealed to me when I was 7), but it's hard not to see it for what it is now: a quick and cheap cash-in off the back of the first film's success. My roommate doesn't even have the third movie on DVD, so I doubt I'll be seeing it anytime soon. Probably best to leave it to my vague memories of childhood, from what I've read about it online...

Re: Movies Seen in 2010
Wow. Talk about a disappointment. I mean, I wasn't expecting all that much, but with all the hype I was expecting more than that. Sure, visually it could be quite stunning at times, but the dialogue was just so awful most of the time that it was almost unbearable. Lines like "You're not in Kansas anymore" were a dime a dozen, and went on for 2 hours and 42 minutes. Ouch.
The "chosen one" saving the oppressed people wasn't all that original either. I also found the casting less than inspired, although the chick chopper pilot was super badass and hot.
I'll give it 2/5 on Netflix.

Social media can be many things, but its role as a powerful research tool can be overlooked.
Even as a marketer or PR practitioner, you should at least use it in this way, irregardless of any reluctance to embrace social media as an engagement, sharing or publishing tool.
Beyond the facts it happens in real-time, social media is global and completely voluntary – key facts when considering its value and legitimacy as a research tool.
It is a great way to get insight into your competitors. You can see not only their campaigns but also their tactics and online personality. How they are connecting with their online audiences can be invaluable as you craft your own digital strategy.
As well, social media is a great vehicle to research potential strategic partnerships. This can include bloggers or smaller companies on the precipice where your insight can be valued and shared.
When planning and executing a social media strategy, it's easier to measure than print, TV and radio campaigns. The amount of data that can be captured and analyzed from social media is impressive, and a complete boon to any future strategies, campaigns and tactics.
The research capacity of social media can also help you in the offline world. It is simply an enormous bank of information and data.

Is a No-Hitter as Impressive as It Used to Be? — Sports Survey of the Day
On Tuesday night, Reds pitcher Homer Bailey threw his second career no-hitter, the first of 2013 in Major League Baseball. He was also the last person to throw one, having also done so late in 2012, a year that saw seven no-nos. So is holding the opposition hitless as impressive a feat as it used to be?

No. 4 USC AIKEN 68, MONTEVALLO 60
By Jeremy Timmerman
The No. 4 USC Aiken womens basketball team shot about as well as a team can shoot in the first half of Saturdays home game against Montevallo. The Pacers cooled off considerably in the second half, but they had done enough damage to hold onto a 68-60 win.
Senior guard Daniela Tarailo, one of the teams captains, led the charge. She knocked down five 3-pointers in the first half and six in all for 19 points to lead the home team to tie the programs best winning streak at 12 games.
Tarailo said the hot shooting night was a result of her teammates efforts.
My job is to come out and score and shoot 3s, and I just took what the defense gave me, and my teammates found me, she said after setting a personal best for 3-pointers made in a game.
The Pacers shot at a 67 percent clip from the floor in the first half and nearly 78 percent from beyond the arc to cruise to a 42-23 halftime lead sparked by an 18-0 run.
USCA head coach Mike Brandt said the hot-shooting frame was the result of mental awareness on the offensive end.
I just think that we came out very, very focused, he said. In the first half we got some really good looks.
The Pacers stretched their lead to as many as 24 in the second half, but the shots that were falling in the opening frame werent there in the second. In all, the home team shot 33 percent from the floor after halftime and its only made long-ball came from Tarailo early in the half.
The Falcons were able to trim the lead to as few as six with 49 seconds left in the game, but Porsha Martin and Brittany Hill each made a pair of free throws to stem the tide and give the home team a win.
Falcon head coach Cindy Hilbrich, formerly an assistant at USCA under Brandt, said that the second-half push came after defensive adjustments made based on her knowledge of the Pacers abilities.
Our gameplan coming into the night was to not let them get any open shots, and we did not do that in the first half, she said. We knew that was something we could control in the second half.
Hilbrich added that she could recognize the progression that players like Tarailo and Mia Antoine, both sophomores when she left the program, had made. Antoine scored eight points in the game, while Kayla Harris scored 14 points and hauled in a team-best seven rebounds and seven assists for the Pacers. Brittany Hill added 12 points for the home team.
Montevallos Taylor Beverly led all scorers with 27 points.
The Pacers will next host No. 3 Clayton State on Wednesday, and Brandt said that while he wasnt pleased with his teams offense in the second half, the close nature of the contest could benefit the Pacers against the Lakers.
Theres some good teaching points and good learning points that we can get from that, he said.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.
Daniela Tarailo drives against Montevallo. She had 19 points and hit six 3-pointers in No. 4 USC Aikens victory.×
