In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action. Go Pirates!

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder met with members of the North Charleston Police Department, Charleston Farms Community, and a program participant in the department's innovative program S.T.A.N.D. (Stop and Take A New Direction).
Attorney General Holder heard first hand how the program, which focused on not just arresting low level narcotics dealers with little or no prior criminal history but to go a step further and help those involved in the activity change their lives for the better, has changed the lives of several participants and improved the quality of life in the neighborhood. AG Holder praised the department for "thinking outside of the box" in crime reduction strategies and for its community involvement.
Of the original eight (8) participants accepted in to the program, four completed the program, maintain full time employment and continue to be productive citizens. The project was broadcast nationwide last year on Dateline NBC.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. - Kori Phillips (left), a U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) systems management engineer, shows Gabriel Camarillo, Principal Deputy, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology), the Lightweight Small Arms Technologies program's lightweight machine gun during a tour of Picatinny Feb. 26.
In development at Picatinny, in conjunction with AAI Textron, the system was designed to maximize reductions in Soldier load. It could reduce the weight of small arms ammunition by nearly 40 percent and provide a potential replacement for the SAW that weighs half as much as the current M249.
"When you work together as seamlessly as they do here at Picatinny you can accomplish great things," said Camarillo during the visit. "What I was impressed by was how closely the PEOs (Program Executive Offices) and PMs (Project Managers) work hand-in-hand with ARDEC – and obviously with DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) and the contracting folks, everybody who’s here, really -- works very closely, along with industry to accomplish great things for our Warfighters."
Penn Theatre Arts Program
Spring 2016 Mainstage Production
April 7–10, 2016
@ Penn Museum
'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.
Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

Stem, N.C. -- Inspector General (IG) officers from the Republic of Moldova's National Army are visiting facilities in North Carolina April 10, 2019.
The Moldovan military and North Carolina National Guard have shared a strong joint-training relationship since 1999, as part of the State Partnership Program (SPP). The State Partnership Program links U.S. states with partner countries for the purpose of supporting U.S. security cooperation objectives. The program's goals reflect an evolving international affairs mission for the National Guard using the unique civilian-military nature of the Guard to interact with both active and reserve forces of foreign countries.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Maria Theresa monument
Maria Theresa monument in Vienna
Maria Theresa Square
The Maria Theresa monument is the most important ruler monument of the Habsburg monarchy in Vienna. It is reminiscent of the Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled from 1740 to 1780, and is since 1888 on the Maria Theresa Square on the Vienna ring road (Castle Square - Burgring) between the then Imperial Museums, in 1891 opened the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History) and in 1889 opened the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), in front of the background of the Museum Quarter, then the imperial stables. This by Tritons and Najad Fountains accompanied Ensemble monument counts to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
Historical Background
View from the top (2010)
The Empire of Austria in 1859 and 1866 lost Lombardy and Veneto to the new Kingdom of Italy. It was in 1866 forced to resigne after the defeat of the German war, the Prussians had triggered by violation of the rules of the German Confederation from Germany, which in 1871 was constituted as German Empire under a new empire. In 1867 Emperor Franz Joseph I. in Compromise with Hungary had to agree to the formal division of the empire into a ruled from Vienna cisleithanian and ruled from Budapest transleithanian half of the Empire, with Hungary increasingly presenting itself not as a part of the empire, but as a largely independent state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitha
During the World Exhibition 1873 in Vienna an economic crisis had occurred, the "founders' crash - Gründerkrach" that devalued liberalism as the leading political movement and new mass parties, for the time being, the Christian Social Party, and later the Social Democrats, putting forth. In addition, more and more national movements were felt in the multiethnic state.
Those centrifugal and the imperial power eroding tendencies one would counteract by patriotic appeals to splendor and glory of the empire. At the since 1858 under construction and in 1865 opened new Vienna ring road around the old town was offered the chance. On the Maria Theresa Square the center facing adjoining Heldenplatz outside the Hofburg in 1860 and 1865 monuments of the two most important generals of the monarchy were built. For the Maria Theresa square, which with the Heldenplatz should form an Imperial Forum, it was a good occasion to erect a monument to the historical mother of the nation. She had by her marriage to Francis Stephen of Lorraine and his election as emperor, the Roman-German Empire brought back to Vienna and the continuation of the dynasty, now as House of Habsburg-Lorraine, secured. She referred to a time when the development of the monarchy was not dependent on any political party nor on national political considerations, but by the wisdom of the rulers. Her reputation and popularity should radiate to the current empire.

Maria Theresa surrounded by the allegories of the cardinal virtues
For the execution of the sculptures in 1874 the three sculptors Johannes Benk, Carl Kundmann and Caspar Zumbusch submitted designs. Emperor Franz Joseph I decided for Zumbusch, with his student Anton Brenek around 13 years working on the bronze sculptures, which have a total weight of 44 tons. Carl von Hasenauer designed the architecture of the monument.
With the base, the monument covers an area of 632 square meters and is 19.36 m high, on top the seated figure of the Empress with 6 m height. Base and chain pedestal consist of Mauthausen granite from Enghagen in Upper Austria, pedestal and base of brown hornblende granite from Petersburg-Jeschitz at Pilsen in the Czech Republic, the columns of serpentinite from Wiesen near Sterzing in South Tyrol.
The program's content for the monument came from Alfred von Arneth, director of the Imperial House, Court and State Archives. The monarch herself sits on her throne at the top, in the left hand a scepter and the Pragmatic Sanction, the State and the Constitutional Treaty, her allowing the rule in the Habsburg lands as woman, saluting with the right hand the people. Around the throne on the cornice are sitting as allegorical personifications of the cardinal virtues of justice, strength, gentleness and wisdom four female figures .
At the four sides of the base each is located a circular field with a relief and before that a freestanding statue in thematic context:
The consultants of the Archduchess are represented by Wenzel Anton Kaunitz as a statue and Johann Christoph von Bartenstein, Gundakar Thomas Graf Starhemberg and Florimond Claude of Mercy-Argenteau in relief, the background shows the Gloriette in the garden of Schonbrunn Palace.
For the administration stand Friedrich Wilhelm von Haugwitz (statue) and Antal Grassalkovich I, Samuel Brukenthal, Paul Joseph of Riegger, Karl Anton von Martini and Joseph von Sonnenfels in a consulting room in the Imperial Palace.
For the military stand Joseph Wenzel I (statue) with Franz Moritz von Lacy, Andreas Hadik of Futak and Franz Leopold of Nádasdy in front of the castle in Wiener Neustadt, in which in 1752 the Theresa Military Academy was established.
Science and art are represented by the physician Gerard van Swieten (statue), the numismatist Joseph Hilarius Eckhel, the historian György Pray and the composer Christoph Willibald Gluck, Joseph Haydn and the as child represented Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in front of the Old University.

Open base during the renovation (2008)
The monument is being totally renovated since October 2008. In a first step, the base whose granite cladding and the foundation were restored. Under the monument in the course of the work a 600-square-foot brick vault was discovered as a supporting structure that is similar to already known components underneath the equestrian statues on Heroes' Square. In a second step, the stone and metal surfaces are being rehabilitated until probably October 2013.

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast have developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students.
The program’s purpose is to provide creatively gifted students the opportunity to continue practicing art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The program partners agree it is important to foster the growth of young artists through imagination and discovery.
Mary Atwood of The Art Center Cooperative explains the organization’s interest in creating the River Art Mentorship Program. “As part of The Art Center’s ongoing mission to bring art opportunities to underserved children, it is our pleasure to team up with these outstanding organizations to host the River Art Mentorship program. We hope by combining academic and artistic experiences, we can help motivate the participating students to reach for success in the classroom as well as inspire them to further explore and expand their own creative abilities.”
Sessions began with a river tour and continued with workshops focusing on painting, print making, These workshops, held at The Art Center at 229 North Hogan Street, were offered at no charge to the students. Funding is received through a grant from Target and in-kind donations from supporters. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.
