CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Johnson C. Smith University men’s basketball team took down the reigning Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) champions to conclude Friday nights semifinal round as the Golden Bulls defeated the Bulldogs, 80-71 in the Spectrum Center during the CIAA Tournament. The victory advances Johnson C. Smith to the 2018 Championship game against the Panthers of Virginia Union University on Saturday, March 3 at 7 p.m. in the Spectrum Center.

Robert Davis notched 19 points, three assists and three steals and two rebounds while Cayse Minor chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds. Christian Kirchman added 12 points, three assists and two rebounds in the win for JCSU.

In the opening minutes of the contest, the Golden Bulls raced out to a 6-0 lead, forcing the Bulldogs to call a timeout at the 18:15 mark. BSU finally got on the board after a layup from Saiquan Jamison but JCSU responded with a layup up of their own from Arthur Bennett to go ahead 8-2.

Bowie State and Johnson C. Smith exchanged baskets for over four minutes until Robert Davis drained a deep 3-pointer to stretch the Golden Bulls lead 23-16 with 7:33 remaining in the first half. The Bulldogs pulled within three points after scoring four-straight but JCSU reached their largest lead of the half, grooming 8-2 margin before BSU’s Cameron Hayes cut the deficit to six before the Golden Bulls went into the locker room with a 37-31 at halftime.

Johnson C. Smith shot over 50-percent from the field, including 6-of-11 shots from the 3-point line (54.5-percent) and 50-percent (5-of-10) from the charity stripe led by Cayse Minor who had 10 points at the break.

In the second half, Bowie State orchestrated an 8-2 outing to close the gap to one (38-39). A 3-pointer from Hayes erased a three-point deficit and tied the contest for the first time at 41-41 but on the ensuing possession, JCSU tallied three the hard way after Bennett was fouled for a potential 3-point play. He would miss the freebie but get another opportunity at the foul line with the game clock showing 14:06 and this time he would connect, giving the Golden Bulls a 44-41 lead.

Bowie State took their first lead of the contest when Wilson kicked a pass to Dayshawn Wells for a 3-pointer on the wing. The Bulldogs would maintain their lead for three minutes until a free-throw shot from Kirchman provided the third tied of the night (50-50).

Roddric Ross regained the lead for the Golden Bulls, scoring four unanswered points as JCSU led 54-50 over Bowie State with 8:30 remaining in the game. Following three more ties down the stretch, two free-throws from Minor put Johnson C. Smith ahead 62-60.

With 4:11 left to play, Johnson C. Smith went on a 12-4 spread, including a 3-pointer from Davis that provided a 72-64 lead over Bowie State. BSU closed the gap to just six but the Golden Bulls pulled away, following a layup from Ross and a slam from Johnathan Curtis that would put an exclamation mark on the win for JCSU.

For the contest, Johnson C. Smith outshot Bowie State, shooting 52-percent (26-50), 47.1-percent (8-17) from behind the arc and went 20-of-31 at the charity stripe. The Golden Bulls scored 32 of their 80 points in the paint while creating a 12-5 advantage in points off of turnovers.

Hayes led Bowie State in scoring, also recording a game-high 20 points while Wilson added 17 points and five assists. Wells finished with a double-double, 15 points and 10 rebounds, following George who contributed 11 points and seven rebounds in the loss.

Yahoo Small Business: How Hiring a Contract Manufacturer Can Bring Your Invention Idea to Life

How Hiring a Contract Manufacturer Can Bring Your Invention Idea to Life

By Emily Moorhead | allBusiness

Are you an entrepreneur with a new product idea you would like to bring to market? Perhaps you don’t have the production equipment needed to produce your product yourself, or maybe you are hoping to sell or license your idea to a company, but need some initial stock to show sales potential, value, and usefulness.
In these situations, hiring a contract manufacturer may suit your needs. But what is a contract manufacturer and what can you expect from them?
A contract manufacturer is a for-hire firm that will produce a specific quantity of your product for a set fee based on agreed upon specification. The price of the service is based on an estimation of the processes, labor, tooling, and materials costs.
Hiring a contract manufacturer may make sense to startup businesses and self-made entrepreneurs because it takes the lengthy process of manufacturing off their shoulders and entrusts it to a product creation team that has experience in the industry. It also may save a business money because it allows an inventor to not have to purchase manufacturing equipment. Some contract manufacturers may even inventory and ship products, which can be both labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive for a small business.
There are always risks associated with outsourcing, and contract manufacturing is not an exception. Consider speaking to an attorney to go over the business arrangement and ensure you have an understanding of the services you are paying for and their extents and limitations. Generally, keep these words of advice in mind when considering a contract manufacturer:

Don’t Be a Cheapskate

A lower price tag may not always be the best option. This price may just include the bare minimum of necessities for your product, and you will be stuck paying for expensive and necessary add-ons in order for your invention to turn out like you imagined.

Get 25% off Web Hosting using code HOSTING25 at Yahoo Small Business It is also possible a low price can be associated with substandard materials or less-than-stellar craftsmanship. Although this is not always the case, be wary when considering an offer that is much lower in price than competitors’ pricing. Be sure you are familiar with the specifications and know exactly what you are getting for the cost.

Bigger Isn’t Always Better

On the other hand, a higher cost may not always be indicative of a higher quality product, just as a big-name manufacturer may not always be the best option for you.
Research many different manufacturers on consumer sites and ask for references from customers who produce products similar to yours. Always compare specifications throughout your top choices to ensure each company is offering comparable materials and labor. If a small, yet reputable company can provide you with the same service and quality materials as a big-name competitor for a better cost, it is worth considering the less expensive, but also lesser-known company.

Quality Over Quantity

A simple law in manufacturing is the more product you purchase, the less each will cost to produce. This is because the production phase of manufacturing is the most costly since it involves expensive and time-consuming processes and preparation work. Once the machines start to run, the only difference between producing 500 or 5,000 of your product is the raw materials. It may sound appealing to get 10 times more product for only double the cost, but don’t just buy because the price per unit is less.
Think about it like this: when you shop at a bulk-buying club, such as Sam’s Club or Costco, you could buy 20 pounds of ground beef at a cheaper cost per ounce than if you bought it at a local grocer. However, if you don’t use all of the ground beef, you have wasted money and resources. If you buy 5,000 of your product, but only need 500, you’re going to be wasting space in your garage with an overflow of stock and wasting money which could be used on another aspect of your business.

Specify, Specify, Specify

In manufacturing, your job costs are based on a set of agreed-upon specifications; that is, a list of the materials from which your product will be created as well as dimensions and other physical boundaries. These specifications are incredibly important. If there is a communication issue regarding size, color, type of plastic, etc., you may be out thousands of dollars and stuck with a useless product.
For the sake of both parties’ budgets and sanity, go over the specifications in precise detail before signing on the dotted line. Discuss what is to be produced, how it will be created, what materials are to be used (with brand names and weights, if applicable), the time frame from start to finish, who pays for shipping and delivery, and any other details in the production of your product. There is nothing worse than finding out halfway through production the wrong plastic was used or the dimensions are incorrect and having to start over.
Contract manufacturing can be an excellent way to turn your invention into a reality without having to do all the labor yourself; however, be wary as with signing any legally-binding document. When considering contract manufacturing, ensure you’re not paying too little for your chosen services, consider lesser-known as well as big-time manufacturers, avoid paying a lower cost per unit for an excessive amount of product, and review your specifications in painstaking detail to set yourself and your company on the right path.

Baseball Tips On Hitting: How To Hit Properly In Contact Situations Wins Games!


By: Larry Cicchiello

One of the better baseball tips on hitting that a baseball coach can give to his players is to explain that there are situations where just making contact can win the ball game. Many players, especially younger players, do not get the message. Read what an outstanding high school varsity baseball coach demands from everyone of his players. There are no exceptions to his two rules.

With two strikes or any situation where it's important to just put the ball in play, there is absolutely nothing wrong with giving in a little and just trying to make contact. There is nothing wrong with conceding a little to the pitcher and facing the fact that if the count is 1-2, you have a little bit of a problem on your hands. Don't be afraid to choke up an inch or so and just try to make contact with the baseball and put it in play. Don't try to "do too much."

A friend of mine is an outstanding high school varsity baseball coach. He has two things he makes his players promise to do every time they come up to the plate. One is that they completely relax and visualize before every pitch they will hit the baseball hard. The other thing is that everybody chokes up two inches on the bat when they have two strikes on them. No matter where they are hitting in the batting order, if they don't choke up with two strikes they are removed from the game immediately! The coach understands very well that with two strikes on his hitter, it is a contact situation. Note that I didn't say good or very good coach, I said "outstanding high school varsity baseball coach." When he talks, I listen!

Baseball hitters should not only focus on contact when they have two strikes on them. There are many other situations where the sole purpose of the at bat should be putting the ball in play! It is extremely frustrating if your team has the tying run on third base late in a game with one out and you cannot get that runner home. Especially if your team may have a hitter at bat who is not an exceptionally strong hitter. He doesn't concede anything and takes this big, long, looping swing and he strikes out. Your base runner ends up stranded at third base.

Why on earth some baseball hitters don't realize that a weak ten hopper to the second baseman is all that's called for in certain situations. This is a total mystery to me. The base hit or "bomb" is not always what's required. You can be somewhat of a hero just by hitting a weak ground ball and getting an important runner home from third base. If players don't realize this, maybe they should be reminded of it more often by their coaches. It always comes down to what that particular situation calls for.

As a hitter, the name of the game is being productive at the plate. Forget all this macho nonsense! Baseball tips on hitting include clever use of the mind and not just the body. There is nothing logical about swinging for the fences and end up striking out when your team desperately needed only a ground ball! If a weak ten hopper to the second baseman gives your team a better chance to win, then making contact with the baseball should be your only approach during that at bat. The name of this game is very simply to do whatever it is that gives your team the best chance to win the game. Doesn't that say it all?

Secret Service Jobs - Secret Service Careers Explained


By: Erik Johnson

Perhaps you have sometimes wondered, "What does a secret service agent do?" Or "what are secret service jobs?" These are valid questions, considering that their work is so secretive. There are many different secret service jobs, each with its own specific education and experience requirements, and each with its own specific secret service job duties. While there are no such things as "secret service degrees," many agents have criminal justice–based degrees and/or military experience. And they all have one overriding goal – to protect the most important members of the Executive Branch, their families and other important individuals related to the Office of the President.

Secret Service Jobs Description

While there are many different secret service careers, their goal is always to protect the president, the vice president, the president-elect and vice president-elect, their immediate families, former presidents, their spouses and the children of former presidents until they reach age 16. They also protect visiting heads of foreign states or governments, their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, official U.S. representatives performing special missions abroad, major presidential and vice presidential candidates and spouses within 120 days of the election, and other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President. Secret Service agents also provide protection at National Special Security Events when designated by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

So, it is clear that there could potentially be many different roles that people play in the secret service, from administrative to the front lines. But what kind of secret service degrees or training do these people get? All new agent trainees are initially sent to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center to begin their training for this job. This is where they enter the 10-week Criminal Investigator Training Program, which trains new federal investigators subjects like criminal law and investigative techniques while providing a foundation for agency-specific training programs. After this, trainees must complete a 17-week Special Agent Training Course at the Secret Service training academy to learn about specific Secret Service policies and procedures.

The secret service is a huge organization with a big responsibility. There are many exciting secret service career options within this agency. So if you’re the type of person who has wondered, "what does a secret service agent do?" this may be a career worth exploring!

Living in Love

Look for the Best in Each Other (By Victoria Osteen)

I once heard about a husband and wife who were so upset after a big argument that they refused to speak to each other. That night, not wanting to be the first to break the awkward silence, the man left a note on his wife’s side of the bed that read, “wake me up at 6 o’clock in the morning.”
The next morning, by the time the husband woke up, it was already 8 o’clock. Furious, he roared, “Where is she?” and was about to chew out his wife when he found a note on his side of the bed: “It’s six o’clock; wake up.”
If we’re going to live in love, we have to learn to forgive one another. The Bible says, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger, but instead, forgive. And above all things, put on love.”1 That means: Above having your own way, above your own agenda, choose to put on love.
The apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:17 that we would be “rooted and established in love so that we would have power together with all the saints.” When we choose to walk in love, we have the power of God in our lives, as well as healthier relationships.

When we choose to walk in love we have the power of love on our lives.

We should always look for the best in each other. That’s one of the things I love about Joel. I used to think that he didn’t see the things that people did wrong. Then I realized: It’s not that he doesn’t see them; he chooses not to focus on them.
That’s what Jesus taught. One day a group of Pharisees brought a woman to Him who had been caught in adultery. The Law said that she should be stoned, but Jesus didn’t condemn her. Instead, He said, “Those of you without sin, go ahead; you throw the first stone.”
The woman’s accusers began to look within themselves. Then, they walked away.
We can all throw rocks and point out each other’s faults, but we need to make allowances for one another. We don’t know what some people have been through. We don’t know the pain and heartache they’ve experienced. When the woman’s accusers had all slipped away, Jesus told her, “Neither do I condemn you; go your way; from now on sin no more.”3
Let’s learn to walk in love and see the best in everyone. A house divided will fall. That’s why it’s so important to keep peace in your home. Be the first to apologize. Be quick to forgive.
Someone once asked me if Joel and I argue. Of course, we disagree, but you can’t argue with someone who won’t argue with you, and Joel won’t argue! He’s made up his mind that we’re going to walk in love, because that is where the power is. At times, Joel and I have said, “All right, we can’t see eye to eye on this, so we’re just going to agree to disagree.”
I can’t help it if he’s wrong sometimes!
When Joel and I got married, I like my own way, and when I didn’t get it, I wasn’t happy. Then God spoke clearly to me: Victoria, if you don’t change the way you’re acting, you’re going to change the man you married.
Well, that got my attention, because I didn’t want to change Joel’s personality. I love Joel. That’s why I married him. I knew that I had to be willing to make some changes.
In many relationships, after time, people neglect to walk in love. One day, they realize that their hearts have changed. You hear it all the time: “We just grew apart.”
Joel and I remind ourselves often that God brought us together. He’s got a good plan for our marriage. You need to remind yourself that God has put that person in your life, and He’s got good things in store. If you will do your part by being kind, respecting one another, treating each other the way you want to be treated, God will do His part, and you can live in love!

Bowie State Women's Basketball Advances to CIAA Championship Finals with 53-49 Victory over Virginia State

Charlotte, N.C. (March 2, 2018) – The scrappy No. 3 Seed in the Northern Division Bowie State University Bulldogs dethroned the No. 2 Northern Division Virginia State University Trojans, 53-49 Friday afternoon in the Spectrum Center during the semi-finals of the 2018 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament. The Bulldogs will face the Virginia Union University Panthers in the Championship game on Saturday (3/3) at 1 p.m.

Chrisanna Green added the opening seven points knocking down two jumpers and a three-pointer within the first 3:27 to give the Trojans a quick 7-3 lead. Bowie State closed the gap with three-pointers off the fingertips of Kyah Proctor and Kiara Colston but VSU would go on a 6-2 run to close out the quarter, 13-8.

Although, Virginia State outscored the Bulldogs (10-2) with points in the paint, (6-5) points off turnovers, and (3-0) in second chance points; BSU held the edge (2-0) in fast break points and (2-0) in bench points.

A back-and-forth struggle for either team to keep the momentum throughout the second quarter, a Talanya Hutton jumper with 8:07 remaining ignited a 12-7 run for Bowie State to give the game its first tie, 20-20 at the 5:07 mark.

The Trojans closed out the half adding nine points to take a 29-24 lead into the locker room. Virginia State led by as much as eight during the half where it outscored the Bulldogs (18-14) in points in the paint, (8-7) in points off turnovers, and (4-2) in bench points; while Bowie State held the edge in fast break points (2-0) and (11-7) in bench points.

BSU was held to only 33.3 percent (10-of-30) shooting from the field, 33.3 percent (3-of-9) shooting from downtown, and 100 percent (1-of-1) shooting from the foul line; while the Trojans shot 48 percent (12-of-25) from the floor, 28.6 percent (2-of-7) from behind the arc, and 50 percent (3-of-6) from the candy stripe. VSU’s Chrisanna Green led all scorers at the half with 15 points; while BSU’s Kiara Colston tallied 10 points, respectively.

Coming out of the half, the Trojans led by as much as eleven points at the 8:19 mark in the third quarter, but once again, the Bulldogs would keep their poise and end the quarter on a 14-9 run with VSU taking a two-point lead (40-38) lead into the fourth.

Continuing with the momentum, Bowie State grabbed its first lead of the contest with 3:15 remaining in the contest, (47-46). The game saw its second tie at the 2:05 remaining (49-49) before BSU’s Kiara Colston connected on the eventual game-winning three-pointer with .08 remaining, providing the 53-49 final.

The Bulldogs capped the contest shooting 32.2 percent (19-of-59) from the field, 43.8 percent (7-of-16) from downtown, and 88.9 percent (8-of-9) from the foul line; while the Trojans closed the game out shooting 43.5 percent (20-of-46) from the floor, 23.5 percent (4-of-17) from behind the arc, and 55.6 percent (5-of-9) from the candy stripe.

Virginia State would claim the points in the paint advantage (26-24) but was outscored (23-10) in the points off turnovers category, (6-5) second chance points, (4-0) fast break points, and (19-7) bench points for the game.

VSU’s Chrisanna Green led the Trojans recording a double-double, 20 points (9-of-13) and 12 boards while Kiara Colston carried the Bulldogs with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
