Definition of eustasy in English:
Syllabification: eu·sta·syPronunciation: /ˈyo͞ostəsē
- A change of sea level throughout the world, caused typically by movements of parts of the earth's crust or melting of glaciers.More example sentences
- Coastal ecosystems have been forced to migrate staggering distances since the waning of Pleistocene glaciers began to drive the postglacial rise in global sea level, termed eustasy by geologists.
- Within this rhythm, alternations between PDF and WDF units record the interplay between sediment supply, basin subsidence, climate and eustasy, which caused repeated minor progradational and retrogradational rhythms.
- Moreover, glacial eustasy is rejected because of the lack of evidence for widespread glaciation at the appropriate stratigraphic level and because the required kilometre-scale drawdown far exceeds that expected through glaciation.
- More example sentences
- Nature of Quaternary sea-level changes A detailed record of Quaternary eustatic sea-level changes has been derived from studying oceanic cores taken at selected sites where there is a continuous record of sedimentation.
- Surprisingly, the most positive carbon isotope values correspond to the most positive oxygen isotope values (and hence lowest palaeotemperatures) and to a period characterized by inferred eustatic sea-level fall.
- Higher-latitude boreal sections have received substantially less attention because of both their relative inaccessibility and the reported absence of Late Permian strata attributed to a major eustatic sea-level fall.
Pronunciation: /yo͞oˈstatik/
1940s: back-formation from eustatic, coined in German from Greek eu 'well' + statikos 'static'.

Lily's Dark Chocolate with Stevia Coconut -- 3 oz
Lovely chocolate
I have loved this chocolate for a while now. It is so nice to have a treat that has no sugar and no artificial sweeteners.
August 8, 2013
Excellent flavor
This product impressed me with deep chocolate and not too sweet
July 20, 2013
Label misleading
Ordered this chocolate bar sweetened with stevia. The label states coconut across the top. When I starting eating this . chocolate bar there was not a bit of coconut or coconut flavor in it. The price was also too high for the quality of the product. Will not buy again.
July 18, 2013
Tasty and Healthy Treat
Dark chocolate sweetened with stevia, this is an excellent choice for indulging! These bars are tasty and do not have any refined sugars. I'd have given it a 5 if it were 70% Cacao instead of 55%. But overall an excellent choice and priced right at Vitacost.
July 13, 2013
Surprised by the Flavor!
As a parent of a diabetic (Type 1), I am consistently looking for sugar-free (but not artificial like splenda) ways to still provide sweet treats once in awhile. I came across these bars on Vitacost, bought a bunch when they were on sale having never tasted a bar. When they arrived, I started with the Coconut bars (I bought all the varieties to try) as I thought they'd be my least favorite. Was I ever wrong! The plain chocolate is actually my least favorite and coconut is the best. The coconut almost comes off as a krisp or brittle; it's not large shavings. You don't have that texture either. Everything is smooth and very pleasant. And being Non-GMO and Fair Trade, it's a treat I can feel comfortable feeding my family. Bravo for ALL the Lily's chocolate bars!

FAREWELL FROM ITS BIRTHPLACERoyal navy destroyer takes leave of the mersey – saluted by the men who built her
A BIRKENHEAD-built warship sailed into the history books with a five-cannon salute from Fort Perch Rock.
Mayor of Wirral Moira McLaughlin gave the signal for the special tribute as HMS Liverpool left the River Mersey for the final time.
Despite being named after the city, HMS Liverpool was built by Wirral engineers at Cammell Laird.
The destroyer returned to its roots for a six-day visit to mark the end of an illustrious career promoting and protecting Britain's interests around the world.
Many former Lairdsmen were in New Brighton to see the final farewell.
Ex-ships manager Harry McLeish, 90, joked: "HMS Liverpool! We need an HMS Everton!"
Mr McLeish, affectionately described as 'Mr. Cammell Laird' by former shipbuilders, worked there for over 40 years. "I feel proud to be a Lairdsman and proud that I helped put the ship together.
"Building HMS Liverpool is something I remember very clearly. I was on board when we were conducting sea trials in the basin on how the ship rolls, and my heart was in my mouth.
"I was working on a submarine at the time as well – the yard was very busy back then. A manager is only as good as his team, and I had the best team in the world."
Steve Holden, 71, of New Brighton was an electrician and he too had mixed emotions.
He said: "I thought the Liverpool was the best ship that Cammell Laird ever built.
"It's sad to see it go, watching it go by reminded me of all the fellas that we used to work with who are no longer here."
After being cheered by well-wishers as she left Liverpool Cruise Terminal, two tugs gently guided HMS Liverpool up river for the five- gun salute to her Cammell Laird birthplace.
Further five-gun salutes were given at the Pier Head again and finally at Fort Perch Rock.
During the weekend more than 6,000 people visited HMS Liverpool while it was berthed in Liverpool.
Mayor of Wirral Moira McLaughlin, who attended a parade by the ship's crew in Liverpool during the visit, said: "I helped fire some shots to salute and they fired back.
"It's a sad day in a way, but also a very happy one."

Five surprising solutions to help you stop snoring
Snoring not only keeps you and your bed partner up at night - it can be dangerous to your health. Typically, as you sleep, air passes through the nose and past the back of the throat without any trouble. But as muscles relax during sleep, the upper airway can become partially blocked, causing the soft tissue in the throat to vibrate and creating the cumbersome noise that is snoring. Loud and frequent snoring is a common warning sign for obstructive sleep apnea, which is a serious sleep illness. Over time, sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, depression, diabetes, heart disease and more.

Not Surprised: Ninja Turtle Notoriety Charts
I can honestly say I'm surprised the numbers for renaissance artists aren't even lower. Because one time when I was substitute teaching for a class of fourth graders I asked who sculpted David and the only response was from a girl who asked if that was the one with the penis. I said yes and then they all started chanting I was gay.

Thanks Andrew, who once cowabunga'ed two chicks at once in the Party Wagon.

Redditor/artist Doodiescoop (I prefer to pick it up like a crane) decided to explore what Fry and Leela's children might look like if Fry weren't so awkward and actually managed to knock up ol' one-eye. These are them. Accurate? I guess so. Unless their children would actua... / Continue →

You are here:
One of the most talked about features of the new Windows 8 is the Start screen. The old Start menu was a vertical list of text items with one or two columns, and thus easy to navigate with the keyboard. The new Start screen is a horizontal list which can have a varying number of rows. It contains tiles which can be one unit wide or two units wide. This means navigating it simply with arrow keys can be tricky.
Here are two ways of using the Start screen to find what you want quickly and efficiently, plus a way to revert to the old Start menu.
If you use the Narrator screen reader that ships with Windows 8, you can use the shortcut CapsLock + RightArrow to move one tile at a time through the Start screen. Each time you press the keystroke, focus moves to the next tile, which might be to the right of the current tile or below it. Similarly, CapsLock + LeftArrow will move focus to the previous tile.
It is to be hoped that other screen readers will include a similar way of navigating the Start screen. Neither NVDA nor JAWS have such a feature, but the forthcoming Window-Eyes 8 will do so.
An alternative to moving around the Start screen is to search it. The quick way to do this is to press the Windows key and then just start typing. Although the Start screen does not have a search edit as the old Start menu did, as soon as you start typing, a search of the apps begins.
After you've typed some or all of what you're looking for, use DownArrow to move through the results. These are presented in columns and rows, but pressing DownArrow repeatedly will move from the bottom of one column to the top of the next, so this doesn't present a problem.
You can also search the Start screen for a Setting or a File. There are two ways to do this.
Start the search as suggested above, but instead of using DownArrow to look through the results, press Tab once to move to a list of things you can search. Focus is at the top of the list, on Apps, but you can DownArrow to Settings or Files, press Enter to choose it, and then use DownArrow to move through the results for that category.
Press Windows + W to open the Start screen and indicate a search of the Settings, or Windows + F to indicate a search of the Files. In either case, after using the keystroke, type what you're searching for and then use DownArrow to move through the results.
A number of third party applications exist that re-introduce the familiar Start menu. One example is the Classic Shell. Classic Shell allows you to choose a Start menu that resembles the Classic one-column view, or an XP or Vista/7 default with two columns. You can also choose whether to have a visible Start button on the desktop, whether to skip the Start screen and go straight to the desktop with the computer starts, and whether to have similar retro settings for Internet Explorer and File Explorer.
One thing to bear in mind with these kinds of applications is that they are designed for mouse users. I've found using Classic Shell with the keyboard works sometimes, but at other times although the menu appears on screen, it doesn't take keyboard focus. For this reason, it's impossible to recommend such an application. If you find one that works well with the keyboard, please let us know so that we can spread the word.

Nokia, Samsung agree to extend patent licensing deal
Samsung will again license key mobile patents from Nokia, the companies announced on Monday.
Nokia said that Samsung will license and pay the handset maker for certain patents for a period of five years. The deal kicks off on January 1. Samsung and Nokia's current relationship expires at the end of this year.
Interestingly, Samsung and Nokia weren't able to agree on a price for licensing the patents. The companies plan to go to arbitration on the price, but that isn't expected to be completed until 2015.
Samsung and Nokia have been fighting a war of words … Read more

This animated-style Shahan Alama was released in an exclusive Target battle pack in The Clone Wars Collection in October 2010. The battle pack included Robonino, Shahan Alama and two different Commando Droids. Besides the figures, the set included a bonus DVD with a short Bounty Hunter feature, plus one die, battle cards and stands for each figure. Shahan Alama appeared in the Clone Wars episode "Hostage Crisis", from the first season.
Shahan Alama has a total of 12 joints, with the neck, shoulders, elbows and knees being ball-jointed. The wrists and both legs are swivel jointed. Shahan Alama stands very well by himself without the need for additional support from a stand. Both weapons, the knife and the blaster fit very well into the left and right hand respectively. Actually, the knife fits so well, that the figure's left hand fits through the knife's handle. The same goes for the blaster, which is a perfect fit for the right hand where the finger sits right on top of the trigger. The one-piece soft-plastic shoulder armor is removable. The belt around the waist is molded individually, whereas the red hat is part of the head sculpt and therefore not removable.
The paint application on Shahan Alama is well done, especially the paint around the facial area is impressive. The blue pants and black boots feel a little plain, but that's just how Shahan Alama appeared in the Clone Wars. The almost super articulated sculpt is well done, with a fantastic head sculpt which looks like the TV-counter part. All in all, this animated-style Shahan Alama is a well done figure, and another fantastic addition to the Clone Wars Collection.

The month is off to a positive start, with investors calmed by indications that the Federal Reserve will not be too hasty when scaling down its massive bond-buying program.
U.S. stock futures were up about 0.6%.
The Labor Department reported that the number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell to 326,000 last week, down 19,000 from the week prior. The report comes one day ahead of the government's monthly report on hiring and unemployment.
Still to come, the Institute for Supply Management will release its monthly manufacturing sentiment index, while the Census Bureau will issue data on construction spending.
Major automakers are also set to release their monthly sales results throughout the day.
On the corporate front, Procter & Gamble (PG, Fortune 500) reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal fourth quarter.
Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) reported quarterly earnings that fell short of forecasts, citing weaker refining margins, while revenue topped estimates.
Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) reported earnings and revenue that missed estimates. The company cited higher costs, exploration charges and challenges in Nigeria, where oil thefts and supply disruptions have hit Shell's bottom line.
Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX) booked a quarterly charge of $8.7 billion in the second quarter, driven by falling gold prices.
Shares of DirecTV (DTV, Fortune 500) fell after the satellite television provider posted earnings that widely missed forecasts. LinkedIn (LNKD) is due after the close.
Cigna (CI, Fortune 500) reported a jump in earnings that beat even the most bullish forecasts of analysts, while Time Warner Cable (TWC, Fortune 500) also met forecasts with its improved profit.
Sony (SNE) reported first-quarter results showing a 13% jump in sales compared with the same quarter a year earlier. The revenue boost was largely the result of a weaker yen and stronger smartphone sales.
Yelp (YELP) shares jumped 14% in premarket trading after the online review site reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss late Wednesday.
Shares of J.C. Penney (JCP, Fortune 500) rebounded 9% in premarket trading following a 10% sell-off Wednesday. The retailer issued a statement early Thursday disputing reports that CIT (CIT, Fortune 500) had cut off some of the credit to its suppliers due to concerns about Penney's ability to pay them.. However, an analyst for Citigroup cut her recommendation on the stock to a "sell" from "neutral."
Overall, U.S. stocks finished largely unchanged Wednesday. But when you look at July as a whole, the markets made some impressive moves higher. All three major indexes gained between 4% and 7%.
Related: Manufacturing data produces puzzle in China
European markets posted small gains in morning trading. Investors are waiting for the latest monetary policy decisions from the central banks in the region. The Bank of England left rates unchanged and kept its steady at £375 billion. The European Central Bank also left rates unchanged. ECB president Mario Draghi will host a press conference at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Investors and economists expect that both central banks will maintain their current policy and leave rates unchanged.
Asian markets all closed with gains, with investor sentiment buoyed by the latest Fed statement and China's purchasing managers' index data.
The Shanghai Composite index surged 1.8%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ran up 0.9%. In Japan, Tokyo's Nikkei jumped 2.5%.

cancergrid is an initiative involving scientists at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, working together to reduce the cost of clinical research, and to increase its value through effective data sharing. It is building upon the success of a four-year project funded by the UK Medical Research Council, to address a wider range of scientific goals, with support from Microsoft Research.
The cancergrid team have developed standards and tools for the automatic production of the systems needed to support clinical studies and translational research. The vision:
- the researcher creates a model of their study or dataset, based upon standard templates, using a simple study designer tool
- the software artifacts - forms and services - needed to run the study, or interact with the dataset, are then produced automatically from the model
Along with a meta-model (or model template) for clinical studies, based upon the CONSORT statement, and work on the classification and registration of clinical trials, the project has produced an ISO11179-compliant metadata registry, a semantically-aware trials design/ management system, and a toolkit for clinical data transformation and integration.
These models and software applications have been tested through initial deployment on a small number of clinical studies in Oxford and Cambridge. The metadata registry software has been adopted for use within the US caBIG initiative, and is being evaluated by a number of organisations within the UK. Development continues at Oxford, with clinical collaboration in Cambridge and London, and technical collaboration with the caBIG team in the US.

I know I've written it before, but we're really witnessing the endgame for endosulfan in Geneva this week. I'm here, once again, for negotiations under the Stockholm Convention, otherwise known as the POPS treaty. The global agreement bans the worst of the worst chemicals — Persistent Organic Pollutants like dioxins and PCBs. As I've been chronicling in this blog, endosulfan has been winding its way through the Convention's evaluation process for several years now. If the stars align, it'll finally be added to the Convention this week, triggering a global phaseout.
At Pesticide Action Network, we mark Earth Day by reflecting on the work handed to us by our predecessors. We take stock of their predictions for our world, and pull lessons for moving forward.
I am reminded, in particular, of Rachel Carson's articulate science and clarion call on pesticides in Silent Spring. Of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, and how their very first contracts demanded the decreased use of pesticides. Of farmers and eaters who have grown and harvested foods for millenia while protecting biodiversity and our earth. And of my own populist, upper Midwest heritage, and how the Wisconsinite Earth Day founders mobilized broad and diverse support for stewardship, 20 million strong in 1970, that led to some of the most important policies that safeguard our collective nest.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the American public with its hasty approval of three highly controversial GE crops in a row (alfalfa, sugar beets and ethanol corn). In doing so, the agency effectively thumbed its nose at U.S. federal courts and spit in the face of consumers and farmers alike. Now, USDA has apparently decided that getting sued for ignoring U.S. environmental laws is getting to be too much of a hassle. So they've come up with a new plan: why not let Monsanto evaluate the potential harms of its new transgenic products? It'll be so much quicker this way. And save USDA a lot of money.
The two-year pilot program allowing GE developers to conduct their own environmental assessments for USDA is an "experiment" to improve its systems, says USDA. Tom Philpott calls it a craven way out.
Editor's note: This week, Environmental Health Perspectives selected this trio of studies for its 2012 "Paper of the year" award. EHP notes that the importance of the research to understanding the "alterations of cognitive function following developmental exposure to environmental chemicals." Congratulations to the study authors from all of us at PAN. We are reposting our original coverage of these studies below.
School-age children have lower IQs when their mother's are exposed to pesticides during pregnancy. This is the conclusion of 3 independent studies released today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Earlier this month in Rome, the deadly pesticide paraquat moved a step closer to global phaseout. Paraquat is widely known in the developing world as the poison of choice for farmer suicides, and was notorious in the 1970s as the herbicide sprayed by the U.S. government to try to eradicate marijuana plots in Mexico.

Filed under: Activities & Attractions, Campgrounds & RV Parks
One Week in Niagara Falls Canada
July 7, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
We had a week's vacation in mind and had previously always camped in a tent. For the past year, we were considering buying a medium-sized RV but holiday time sneaked up on us before we got time to purchase one. So we trekked across the border from Buffalo, and continued down the QEW toward Toronto, with the hope we'd find something in the Niagara Region – either a motel or rental trailer.
Fortunately, just before crossing the Garden Skyway bridge in St. Catharines, we stopped at a tourist information center right on the highway. We picked up a copy of the OPCA (Ontario Private Campgrounds Association) directory and started making some calls. We needed a place that could accommodate two die-hard campers and their teenage son.
So we ended up in this cool place near Welland called Bissell's Hideaway because it had everything – one-acre pool, acres of rolling land, water slides and best of all rental cabin-style trailers. www.bissellshideaway.com.
The first day we began to plan our week, and in this area, we had lots to work with. Less than a half hour away, we had Fallsview Casino Niagara, Clifton Hill at the Falls, Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Falls, the Maid of the Mist boat ride – more than enough to fill the week.
Clifton Hill is ideal for children from eight to eighteen – visit www.cliftonhill.com. There are several blocks of attractions, many of which satisfy the likes of husbands, wives and their children – young or old. We greeted the stars of music and film at the Movieland wax museum, saw over 70,000 square feet of rides and games at the Canadian Midway, Ripley's Museum, walked through an enormous butterfly conservatory, and much more.
Each additional day offered something that catered to a totally different activity and taste than the day prior. For example, day two we decided to get a closer look at the Falls so we booked a trip on the Maid of the Mist boat, which travelled over the bustling Niagara River to within a long stone's throw of the Falls – very exciting and intimidating! Next, we took the guided walking tour of the Journey behind the Falls – absolutely incredible. Day three, six and seven was enjoying our rental cabin and staying within the park, enjoying their activities – swimming, mini golf, paddle boats, bingo and our son was thrilled to go to the dance on Saturday night.
For antique and art enthusiasts, we took a short day trip to the quaint little town of Niagara-on-the-Lake – visit their website to see the attractions – www.niagaraonthelake.com .
Needless to say, if you didn't want to travel too far from the Buffalo border, the Niagara Falls, Ontario area offers numerous activities and attraction for young and old, with or without kids.

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports that the Tennessee Titans have released former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
Hasselbeck, 37, was scheduled to make $5.5 million in base salary in the third and final year of his contract. Including bonus money, he would have counted $7.5 million against the salary cap for the Titans.
According to the report, Hasselbeck and his representatives had been talking with the Titans about restructuring his deal.
I want to thank Matt for his contributions to our team over the last two years, Titans general manager Ruston Webster said in a prepared statement. He was an important part of the transition process he was a pro at every turn and he provided an example to the rest of the team. I know that we are a better team for his being here and we wish him the best.
No word yet on if Hasselbeck is looking for an opportunity to start, or if hes comfortable serving as a backup on a championship-caliber team. However, if the Seahawks decide to move Matt Flynn via trade, Hasselbeck would make some sense as a backup for Russell Wilson in Seattle.
I know Hasselbeck cant run the read option game, but the Seahawks still run a West Coast-based offense, and Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could create packages for Hasselbeck to be successful if he had to play.

Some kids were born to play quarterback.
For Hamilton-Wenham senior Trevor Lyons, the position didn't come quite so naturally. He had to work at it.
Through that work, Lyons formed a bond with the position — one he wasn't willing to let go of when he received offers to play Division 1-AA football in the secondary or at wideout. Ultimately, it was his desire to be under center in a small school atmosphere that led Lyons to sign with Bates College.
"(Playing QB) was a key part of it. Other schools like Wesleyan and Holy Cross were recruiting me to play wideout and corner, but Bates was pushing for me to go there, and I wanted to keep on playing the position I love," Lyons said.
It's not the accolades or the glory that appeal to Lyons, who isn't the type to self-aggrandize. What he appreciates most about being under center is the leadership it requires.
Bates could offer Lyons that leadership role and more. The NESCAC school in Lewiston, Maine has a very similar atmosphere and feel to the Hamilton-Wenham community Lyons grew up and thrived athletically in.
"I think it's the leadership aspect I love so much. Starting under center is a whole different world," Lyons admitted. "It can be nerve-wracking, but once you overcome it, it can be a great feeling.
"Me being from a small town going to a small college is a perfect fit; I can carry on what I've been doing my whole life. When I stepped on campus (at Bates), it felt right. They had the most support for me and were the most interested. I was getting calls every week, and the vibe I got felt right."
He'll be playing for head coach/quarterbacks coach Mark Harriman, who has coached the Bobcats for 13 seasons. Over the past three years, he's switched to an option-style offense out of the pistol formation — just the kind of offense a tough, elusive runner like Lyons could excel in.
Lyons may have the chance to start right away with the departure of Trevor Smith, who led Bates to a 5-3 record last year with 487 yards rushing and five touchdowns. The Bobcats also graduated starting running back and former Pingree star Patrick George, so the team will need to get rushing yards from somewhere.
"We are very excited to have Trevor as part of our program," Harriman explained. "His athletic ability and competitive nature are exactly the traits we are looking for in a QB."
Lyons' hard work has a tendency to yield results in a hurry. His high school coach, Andrew Morency, can speak to that.
"I think Trev, as a freshman, was a small kid looking to make a big impact. He isn't a lanky kid, but he isn't that big. He doesn't throw it 100 yards. He's certainly blessed with speed, but to me, he came out of nowhere as an underdog," Morency said. "To me, he's a (Doug) Flutie type of player who's always making plays, twisting and turning and staying on his feet to get first downs or make whatever play you need."
While his passing game was in its early stages of development his junior year, Lyons relied on his most natural ability — his speed. Behind a big offensive line, Lyons dashed his way for 1,420 yards, a single-season Generals' record. Using the read-draw play with running back Elliot Burr, he also tied the program's single-game points record with 30 in a game against Bishop Fenwick. H-W went undefeated and won its first playoff game (over longtime Cape Ann League foe Newburyport) before falling 16-14 to Bourne Academy in the Division 3A Super Bowl.
Lyons hit senior Matt Putur on a 44-yard touchdown pass to give the Generals a first-half lead in the Super Bowl, but the throw actually separated Lyons' shoulder and he was out for the rest of the game.
He came back this past season after surgery and proved to be even more dangerous. Working on his passing game in the offseason and, with the infusion of sophomore wideout Jimmy Campbell and the emergence of junior Christian Ecker, Lyons added another arrow in his quiver.
"It's one of the more unsung, incredible stories. He was a running QB by trade, and people said you can beat H-W by letting him throw," said Morency, whose father, Roger, and sister Mary Alice are both Bates graduates. "And against Amesbury, Trev threw for over 300 yards and people saw him throw to a target on the run. He threw the fade ball like it was his bread and butter."
Lyons would break the H-W single-season passing touchdown record in his final game with the Generals on Thanksgiving against Ipswich. He finished with 15 on the season, including a single-game record tying four TDs against North Reading.
"A lot of teams thought we'd be in shotgun almost every play having me back there, but we didn't go away from the drop back from under center," Lyons said. "So I worked on that and our fades and all our other routes. The timing was the key thing."
Morency said that Lyons' graduating will signal the end of an era in Generals' football.
"I told people I don't think we are going to see another Trevor Lyons in a long time, if ever," he said. "He had 40 rushing TDs, 25 passing TDs (and 6 receiving TDs) in his career. He had a hand in over 70 touchdowns. It's insane thinking about it that way," Morency said. "He's a modest kid who is going to downplay it all, which I think shows true greatness."
When asked about the heavy praises received from his high school coach, Lyons felt honored but believes the H-W community is bound to produce more great players.
"It feels good, but I know with the program and the coaches at the high school, and at the youth levels there will be someone coming up and taking charge and being a leader," Lyons said. "That's what our community thrives at."

Mount Holly lake free of invasive plantsBy Cristina Kumka
STAFF WRITER | November 14,2012MOUNT HOLLY An invasive plant species that could have made swimming and boating in Lake Ninevah nearly impossible has been eradicated.
Scuba divers in search of Eurasian watermilfoil gave the lake a clean bill of health this week after finding none of the non-native plant this fall, according to the Ninevah Foundation, a nonprofit conservation organization that owns much of the land around the lake.
Eurasian watermilfoil can choke out native plants and ruin a lake for recreational use.
It was discovered in Lake Ninevah in 2000. After being eradicated in 2005, it came back five years later.
With the help of several years of grant funding from the state Agency of Natural Resources, and private donations to make up the difference, nearly 1,400 hours of annual aquatic nuisance monitoring has taken place at the state fishing access, where boats are checked before entering the water.
And scuba divers check the lake twice a year for new plants and hand pull the plants if found, according to Paul Nevin, foundation member and Mount Holly Select Board chairman.
The program costs about $30,000 a year.
Keeping Lake Ninevah healthy has been a combined effort of local citizens, the Department of Environmental Conservation and the town of Mount Holly, said Betsey McGee, president of the Ninevah Foundation and a longtime homeowner on the lake, in a press release. When we recognized the risk of invasive plants, like milfoil, we started working together to keep the lake clean.
Lake Ninevah is a shallow, high-elevation lake that is home to a wide array of wildlife, including loons, moose, bald eagles and beavers. Up to 3,000 people enjoy the lake each summer, most in kayaks, canoes and small fishing boats, according to the Ninevah Foundation.
If allowed to get out of control, the plants could grow up to 20-feet and the whole lake would be useless, said Nevin, who has owned property around the lake his whole life.
He said the best prevention is twofold monitoring the cleanliness of boats that come to the lake and diving to find new plants and get rid of them.
Nevin said diving is key because milfoil can be transported even by water foul.
He said the Foundation will continue to apply for annual grants and get private donors to pick up the balance.
