The measure requires Voter ID at the polls in the state. It was sponsored by Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann and State Senator Joey Fillingane after the Mississippi State Senate failed to take action on the proposal.[1]
The original filing of Initiative 27 can be found here.
The United States Justice Department will review the approved measure to deem whether or not the amendment is constitutional. Under the federal 1965 Voting Rights Act, the state must obtain pre-clearance from federal officials before making changes to the state election process.[2]

Text of measure
The ballot title that voters saw read as follows:[3][4]
- "Should the Mississippi Constitution be amended to require a person to submit government issued photo identification in order to vote?"
The ballot summary of the measure read as follows:[3]
- Initiative #27 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to require voters to submit a government issued photo identification before being allowed to vote; provides that any voter lacking government issued photo identification may obtain photo identification without charge from the Mississippi Department of Public Safety; and exempts certain residents of state-licensed care facilities and religious objectors from being required to show photo identification in order to vote.
Fiscal note
The following is a fiscal note that was included on the ballot when voters went to the polls, according to reports. According to the Mississippi Legislative Budget Office's fiscal analysis:[5][6]
- Based on Fiscal Year 2010 information, the Department of Public Safety issued 107,094 photo IDs to U.S. citizens of voting age. The individuals were assessed $14 per ID to offset a portion of the $17.92 cost per ID. The cost is estimated to remain the same, but the assessment will no longer be allowable under the provision of Initiative 27. Therefore, the Department of Public Safety is estimated to see a loss of revenue of approximately $1,499,000.
- Supporters argued that voter identification was necessary to stop election fraud in Mississippi.[7]
|Elections and campaigns on the ballot in 2011
- Measure sponsor Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said at the time that voter ID may not be the perfect solution to ending voter fraud but it was a step in the right direction: "It would not be correct to say that voter ID is the answer to each and every one of our voting problems. We have absentee ballot–fraud issues. We have affidavit ballot–fraud issues."[8]
- State Senator Joey Fillingane was a supporter of the measure, stating, "There's still voter fraud going on in 2011 now and that ought not to be. I think we're one of only seven states that doesn't have some kind of photo i.d. requirement so we're way behind the eight ball on this."[9]
- Sid Salter, a syndicated columnist, stated about the measure in a column published by the Clarion Ledger: "Voter ID requirements are long overdue in Mississippi and have reached the ballot over the most specious and manufactured objections. But as the state's chief election officer confirmed this week, voter ID gets the most headlines while absentee ballot abuse actually has the potential to do the most harm in Mississippi elections."[10]
- According to Mississippi resident, Conrad Anderson, Jr., in a letter to The Natchez Democrat: "And for those who were unaware, this issue was brought up at the Natchez Board of Aldermen meeting and a vote was taken in an attempt to have the city officially oppose the voter ID ballot proposal. In light of recent events, it would appear there are much more important issues for certain members of the board of aldermen to be concerned about than trying to intimidate voters on voter ID issues. I would encourage all registered voters to go to the polls on Nov. 8 and vote in favor of voter ID."[11]
The following donations were made to the campaign for the measure, as of May 2011, according to the latest monthly initiative reports on the Mississippi Secretary of State's website.[12]
|Total campaign cash
|Mississippi Republican Party
|Voter ID (PAC)
- Rep. Ed Blackmon
- Sen. David Jordan
- Johnny DuPree
- Mississippi Lieutenant Governor Phil Bryant
- Derrick Johnson, Mississippi president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People[13]
- Rep. Ed Blackmon said of the measure,"I think it's counter-productive" and compares it to a 2001 vote to keep the state flag which depicts the Confederate Battle Flag.[14]
- Sen. David Jordan agreed with Blackmon, stating, "I still think it is a barrier that is going to hurt poor people who struggled to get the right to vote."[8]
- Johnny DuPree stated he would vote against the measure: "One writer said that it is a solution looking for a problem. And I believe that's exactly what it is."[15]
- According to Clarion Ledger Editorial Director David Hampton, the initiative and referendum process brought up causes for concern. In a column, Ledger stated, "The idea of initiative and referendum has always worried me. It creates many more problems than it solves. It can result in some downright stupid and dangerous public policy." Later, Ledger commented on the three Mississippi initiatives that were certified for the ballot in 2011: Mississippians will be asked to vote on three initiatives this year, at least at this point. Two are being challenged in court and may or may not make the ballot in November. We'll see...In my opinion, not only are these items not needed, they actually can do some harm, especially the eminent domain and personhood amendments."[16]
- Opponents contended that the requirement may decrease voter turnout, for example, those without drivers licenses or minorities.[7]
- According to Sam Hall, campaign manager for Mississippi Lieutenant Governor Phil Bryant, the measure was more about the goal to suppress voting, particularly among young people, racial minorities and those with low income: "We can certainly say that this is not just about voter ID."[17]
- Nsombi Lambright, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi, argued against the initiative: "Voter ID is one of those unnecessary barriers to the voting booth. We believe it's going to represent a strong deterrent for communities of color, for the elderly and for poor folks to go to the ballot box."[13]
According to the state campaign finance database, there were no registered committees (PACs).
(last updated November 2011)
Media endorsements
- The Press-Register supported the proposed voter ID initiative: "The justice also noted what should be obvious: The risk of voter fraud is real and 'could affect the outcome of a close election.' Alabama and Mississippi need to adopt voter ID laws that lessen the risk of fraud and protect the rights of qualified voters."[18]

Public Policy Polling released poll numbers on November 7 that showed the "yes" side with a commanding lead going into the November 8 election. The poll was taken of 796 voters between November 4-6.[19]

Path to the ballot
- See also: Mississippi signature requirements
Initiative filing
When introducing a citizen-initiated ballot measure in the state, the first step is to file a typewritten copy of the proposed initiative with the Mississippi Secretary of State. The sponsor has the authority to accept or reject any of the recommendations from the Revisor of the Statutes, who receives the initiative from the secretary. The Attorney General will then draft the ballot title (not exceeding 20 words) and the ballot summary (not exceeding 75 words). The Mississippi Attorney General will file both the title and summary with the Secretary of State, who will then notify the sponsor by certified mail of the exact language in the ballot title and summary. Once the ballot title and ballot summary have been finalized, the sponsor may begin collecting signatures.

At least 90,000 signatures, spread equally from Mississippi's congressional districts were needed in order for the petition drive to be certified. The deadline for the 2010 ballot was October 1, 2009, however, supporters missed the deadline. Instead, supporters aimed for the 2011 ballot. The signature petition deadline was February 14, 2010. According to state rules, at least 17,857 signatures were required from each of the five congressional districts.[20][1]
Signature filing and verification
On February 11, 2010 approximately 130,000 signatures were submitted to the Mississippi Secretary of State. On March 8th the secretary of state affirmed that the measure had sufficient signatures, 131,678 signatures, to proceed to the 2011 ballot. Supporters collected 7,336 signatures in Jackson County, the second highest total, and more than 8,300 signatures in DeSoto County. [21][22][23][14]
Legislative review
The measure is an indirect initiated constitutional amendment, which means that it was proposed by citizens through initiative and does not go immediately to the ballot after a successful petition drive to collect sufficient valid signatures. Rather, once the signatures are collected, the amendment that the citizens are proposing must first be submitted to the state legislature for consideration. Only after the state legislature has considered and possibly also taken a limited range of options that may affect the amendment does it go on the statewide ballot for consideration by the voters. The measure went through this process, was not acted up on by legislature, and therefore placed on the ballot for voter decision.
The following is a timeline of events surrounding the measure:
|Signatures collected
|July 2009
|Voter ID activists announced that they had collected approximately 25,000 signatures.[22]
|Signature verification
|Sept. 11, 2009
|According to Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Brad White, 35,000 signatures had already been verified.[24]
|Petition submission
|Feb. 11, 2010
|Supporters submitted approximately 130,000 more signatures to the Mississippi Secretary of State.[25]
|March 8, 2010
|The Secretary of State affirmed that the measure had sufficient signatures to proceed to the 2011 ballot.[14]
|Legislative review
|Jan. 4, 2011
|Initiative presented to Legislature for review.
Similar measures and laws
The measure came shortly after similar measures were either on or proposed for other statewide ballots:
- 2008: The Missouri Voter ID amendment was proposed for the general election. The measure would have required all voters in Missouri to have valid photo identification in order to be permitted to vote. The measure failed to be approved by both houses and therefore did not appear on the ballot.
- 2010: The Oklahoma Voter ID measure appeared in the general election, where it was approved. The ballot measure proposed that voters should have to produce photo identification in order to vote.
- At the time, 27 states had a law in place that requires some form of identification before voting.[26]

Lyon and Shoemaker Lead Baseball to 14-3 Win over Lake Erie; Ten Game Homestand Continues Wednesday
March 1, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Preston Lyon and Eric Shoemaker each hit long balls apart of four RBI days as Pfeiffer University knocked off Lake Erie College 14-3 in baseball action on Monday afternoon at Joe Ferebee Field. The Falcons blew it open with a seven run eighth inning pushing their overall mark to 9-10 on the season. The Storm lose their first of the year evening to 1-1.
Pfeiffer put a five-spot on the board in the third as Lyon picked up his first RBI with a single that scored Carlos Badillo. Aarin Sharpe followed with a base hit that brought in Zack Pou before Shoemaker went deep for the three-run homer. Michael Brucchieri delivered a sacrifice fly in the Lake Erie fourth to put the Storm on the board.
After Badillo led off the home half of the fourth with a double, Lyon brought him in with his two-run shot. The Storm would bounce back with two in the fifth to make it a 7-3 ballgame. Matt Lott brought in Ryan Rua with a single before Jae Leeworthy doubled home Brandon James.
Jesse Dunn led off the Pfeiffer seven-run eighth with a solo home run. Myles Pearl later reached on an error, but still received the RBI for plating Badillo. Pou picked up his final RBI scoring Pearl with another base hit, later scoring himself on Lyons double. Shoemaker, Josh Strickland and Dunn each secured the other runs batted in during the frame by reaching on an error, hitting a sac-fly and drilling a two-base hit.
Along with Lyon and Shoemaker, Badillo, Dunn and Sharpe paced the offense each having a pair of hits. Jacob Moore earned the win for the Falcons in relief tossing 1.2 innings, surrendering one hit, one walk and struck out three. Mike Morgan had the only multi-hit game for the Storm with two.
Pfeiffer will continue its ten game homestand with contest number six on Wednesday. The Falcons will entertain Lander at 2:30 p.m.

Small businesses largely immune to reduced contractor pay cap
Wednesday - 6/19/2013, 9:03pm EDT
Small contractors would be relatively unaffected by a proposal to reduce the amount contracting companies are allowed to charge the government to cover employee compensation, according to a new Government Accountability Office report.
Reducing the contractor compensation cap to the level of the salary drawn by the President ($400,000) or the Vice President ($230,700), as suggested by some lawmakers and the White House in the past, would dramatically increase the number of employees who earn compensation above the allowable limits, GAO said.
But most of those employees would come from large companies, auditors said, because few of the small companies it surveyed paid their employees more than the amount earned by the President and Vice President.
"While industry associations and many of the large-tier and mid-tier contractors expressed concerns should the cap be reduced, most small-tier companies we reviewed generally stated they would either be only minimally affected or not affected should the cap be reduced because they generally did not offer compensation above the Vice President's salary," GAO concluded.
The report also identified concrete savings from reducing the compensation limit.
If the cap were to be changed to the same salary drawn by the President, there would be more than $180 million in contractor compensation costs per year that companies would no longer be able to charge to the government, according to the report, which surveyed a random sample of 27 companies. If the cap were set at the level of the Vice President's salary, the government would save $440 million, GAO said.
Still, the report is unlikely to settle the debate about contractor compensation any time soon.
Upon the report's release, a bipartisan group of senators, including Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), reintroduced legislation that would cap contractor compensation at the Vice President's salary level. On the other hand, the Professional Services Council, an industry group, criticized the GAO report's findings as "lacking in both context and depth."
Few employees currently exceed caps
Under current law, government-reimbursed contractor compensation is tied to a formula designed to mirror the compensation levels of top private-sector CEOs and has grown by 63 percent since being implemented in the late 1990s, GAO reported.
The cap is now $763,029 and is set to rise to $950,000 later this year.
Currently, few contractor employees earn compensation at levels greater than the cap. Across the 27 companies GAO surveyed, fewer than 200 total employees earned compensation that exceeded the cap in the years 2010 through 2012.
But that number would have increased to nearly 600 if the cap had been set at the President's salary level during those years and more than 3,400 if the cap had been set at the Vice President's salary, GAO said.
Most employees with compensation that would exceed the revised cap levels are employed by large-tier contractors (companies earning more than $2 billion earned through contract obligations, GAO said).
According to GAO's survey, there are more than three times as many employees at large contractors with compensation costs that exceeded the President and Vice President's salaries compared to mid-tier contractors (companies earning between $15 million and $2 billion in government contracts).
Across the small-tier contractors (companies earning less than $15 million from government contracts), no employees earn more in compensation than the current caps, no more than two employees earned compensation above the level of the President's salary and no more than five employees earned more than the Vice President.
Another result of reducing the cap, however, would mean more nonexecutives and nonmanagers would be subject to the compensation limits, GAO said. Currently, all employees who earn more in compensation than is allowable by the government cap are executives, GAO said. But if the cap were reduced to the Vice President's salary, about 10 percent of the affected employees would be rank-and-file workers.
When it was first instituted and for much of its existence, the compensation cap only applied to a company's top five executives. However, in the 2012 Defense authorization bill, Congress expanded the cap to include all company employees.
Group questions GAO's methods
The Office of Management and Budget has long supported capping contractor compensation. Late last month, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy sent a bill to Capitol Hill capping compensation at the President's salary level.
OMB officials, according to the report, said GAO's findings underscore the need to pass legislation lowering the cap. OMB also said the savings from doing so would be "substantially higher" than the $180 million identified in the report, since the sample of contractors GAO examined accounted for just 7 percent of the Defense Department's contract spending in 2012.

It's hard to write or talk about a place like Fäviken. Not that I have trouble talking, as those around me can attest to, but making the trek top the restaurant far north of Stockholm is as much about the experience of being in a certain time and place as it is about eating the food they're serving.
Although I don't necessarily follow all the hype about starred restaurants and culinary "experiences", etc, I do know that regardless of cuisine, price, and location, like a perfect glass of wine or bite of chocolate, it's not possible to fully describe it – nor will it be the same for everyone else.

Anyone worldwide may purchase this FOX Racing Shox product, however, the delivery address must be inside the United States.
The Fox Float uses an air spring, which keeps the weight very minimal. This version of the Float is from Fox's Evolution series. Though basic, the version of the Float still has the same quality suspension that Fox is known for. Strong 32mm diameter stanchions cycle smoothly through in order to provide you with reliable travel. 100mm of travel allow you to ride aggressively through treterous XC / enduro trails. For 2014, Fox infused its CTD technology into the Float and have updated the damping. The Float's air spring now has less breakaway force. Fox also upgraded the Float series by giving it a longer negative spring and reduced the air spring compression ratio for a more linear feel.You'll enjoy the perks of Fox's more expensive forks without breaking the bank.The Fox Float weighs in at 3.43 lbs. Though it's incredibly light, do not be deceived. This fork is as stiff as they come.
CTD is short for Climb, Trail, and Descend. It is a three position on the fly system that provides three distinct compression dampings that you'd typically need on an average ride. CTD is extremely useful on the trail. The rider is quickly able to flip the lever between the three positions, and which results in being used numerously throughout the ride. CTD is much faster than the older click system, where the rider would have to stop and click through to find the proper setting.
Climb mode has the firmest low- speed compression, which maximizes pedaling efficiency and has minimal suspension movement. Internally, the oil flow is restricted, and can only flow through the Climb port, which limits the suspension's movement. In the event of a hard impact, the spring loaded blow- off valve will allow the damper to go into its travel. Trail mode provides an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and control on variable terrain. The oil flow is opened to the mid and high speed compression shim stack. Descend mode provides the rider with the most active suspension. Descend mode is an optimized low- speed compression setting which provides the perfect balance of control and plushness for steep, aggressive descents. Oil is able to flow through the high, mid, and low speed ports. CTD is easily controlled by switching the dial on the crown of the fork. This quick and easy adjustment allows the rider to control their suspension on the fly.

Comments about Fox Racing Shox Fox 32 Float 100 CTD Evo 26" Fork 2014:
Great looking fork! Awesome price and Jenson shipped and delivered super fast. Upgraded from an old Rockshox Judy TT and what a difference. 32mm stanchions are much stiffer than my old 28mm's. The ride is really plush the way I like it and the CTD feature is a great bonus. Now I don't have to stop and adjust my fork with clicks, I can just move the adjuster to climb, trail, or descend. I'm surprised how handy this feature is and how much I use it. The fork came with a 260mm steerer which is plenty for any size bike frame and headseat combo. Put this fork on a Sette Reken HT and I'm loving it! Thanks Jenson!

Comments about Fox Racing Shox Fox 32 Float 100 CTD Evo 26" Fork 2014:
I know the "experts" say that you are better off spending money on a new bike than upgrading an old one. But I really like my old Trek 6000 aloy hardtail and 26" wheels. So when I found this fork on sale I jumped. Boy, am I glad I did. It replaces a Rock Shox Dart 3, which is a coil spring fork.
The Fox fork is air spung, wich is easy to adjust with a good fork/shock pump. The rebound dampning adjustment works great. The CTD gives you three distinct levels of for travle, with "climb" nearly locked out. I also droped a pound off the front of my bike.
I'm still fine tuning the fork, but I saw an instant improvement on the first ride and it just gets better evey time. The front tire just stays stuck to the ground on the rough chatter and floats through the bigger hits. I'm even pulling the climbs in a higher gear. Also, I love the white fork on my flat black bike.
With the great price on this fork you can't go wrong.

Comments about Fox Racing Shox Fox 32 Float 100 CTD Evo 26" Fork 2014:
What can be said, the next iteration of the Fox 32s. The CTD damper works well, although depending on rider weight can be a bit squiffy between the settings, and I prefer to just set it up for Trail and then deal with it being fully locked out in Climb.
Plus its a light fork, 1.5kg for it with a 200mm steerer, brilliant!

Kennedy Strikes Seven Times as Women's Lacrosse Knocks Off Belmont Abbey 16-13
March 4, 2010
Story Courtesy of Belmont Abbey Sports Information
BELMONT, NC - Jessica Kennedy scored seven times as Pfeiffer University defeated Belmont Abbey 16-13 this afternoon in Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse action at Alumni Field. The Falcons remain unbeaten at 3-0 overall and 2-0 in league, while the Abbey moves to 1-2 overall and 1-1.
Laurie Jordan led the Abbey with four goals, while Susan Kileavey and Emily Hudgins both had three. Amanda Jones had two and Laura Dowd added the other. Lindsay Connolly had three assists and Brianna Dignan had the other.
Jessica Kennedy led the Falcons with seven goals on ten shots, while Heidi Karaszkiewicz and Shannon Bonnel both had two each. Tori Binder, Alex Cook, Allie Gamble, Sarah Hebberd and Jessica Moulton all added one each. Binder had three assists, while Cook, Gamble, Karaszkiewicz and Jessica Kennedy all had one. Pfeiffer outshot the Abbey 32-23 and held advantages in ground balls (27-22) and draw control wins (16-15).
Pfeiffer goalkeeper Caitlin Ryan made six saves to go along with a game-high nine ground balls, while Natalie Crenshaw made ten saves and scooped up three ground balls.
The Abbey led 8-5 with 9:29 to go in the first but the Falcons scored the final four goals of the half to claim a lead it would never lose. The Crusaders would close the lead to 11-10 on a free position goal by Kileavy with 24:42 left, and again at 13-12 with 15:03 left on a Jones goal, but Pfeiffer scored three unanswered goals in a four minute span to pull away.

Pfeiffer SAAC to Host Annual 'Dry Night' TONIGHT to Benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation
March 8, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at Pfeiffer University will sponsor its third annual Dry Night beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 9th inside the Merner Gym. Dry Night is an evening of substance-free activities that raises awareness about the negative impact of drinking and alcohol abuse on college campuses.
Dry Night' also demonstrates Pfeiffer's commitment to community outreach and longstanding mission of service, while benefiting a worthy cause, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The night's activities will include Gatorade flip cup and pong tournaments, jell-o eating contests, dodge ball, a Mr. and Mrs. Pfeiffer University pageant, food and much more.
Drinking among college students and other 18-to-24-year-olds has increased since 1998 and contributes to an estimated 1,700 alcohol-related, unintentional student deaths per year, according to the latest National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism report. Annually, more than 696,000 students in the same age category are assaulted by another student who was drinking, and more than 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assaults.
SAAC hopes to shed light on these serious statistics and situations in an inviting environment by offering an alternative to alcohol use. In two years, Dry Night has successfully raised over $2,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and with the new addition of Mrs. Pfeiffer to this years lineup, SAAC hopes to exceed past amounts.
This event will be held from 7 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. in the Merner Gym on the Misenheimer campus. For a $10 admission, participants will be admitted for the pageant and all games while receiving a Dry Night t-shirt and food. For those wishing to participate in just the Mr. Pfeiffer pageant and games, the cost is $5. All proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish, an organization that has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
For more information about Dry Night and the evenings activities, contact Kaci Markham, student coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (336) 736-0999 or Micki Thompson, Assistant Director of Athletics, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (704) 463-3221.

Performance Nutrition
Sports nutrition plays an integral role in promoting athletic success by helping athletes stay healthy and optimally fuel themselves so they can maximize training and conditioning. Tiger Strength and Conditioning and Tiger Nutrition are regular partners in promoting high performance nutrition.
Sports nutrition plays an integral role in promoting athletic success by ensuring athletes optimally fuel themselves so they can maximize training and conditioning and remain injury free. An often over-looked component in many programs, performance nutrition techniques can equate to greater gains in lean body mass, minimized fatigue related to poor hydration and under-fueling, and enhanced recovery; all of which supports future training and competition.
The Sports RD collaborates with Athletic Medicine and Strength and Conditioning to promote optimal well-being and high caliber performances for varsity student-athletes by integrating sports performance nutrition into training programs through a variety of strategies.
These include hydration and recovery planning, body composition assessments and techniques for improving power to weight ratio and strength, educating on the proper use of supplements and preventing exposures to banned substances, and recommendations for healthy eating on campus, travel nutrition, competition fueling strategies, and much more.
The sports nutrition handbook co-produced by Sports Nutrition and Strength and Conditioning, is a great place to get started for excellent sports science based information and introductory fueling tactics.

Grimsley's 17 Leads Women's Basketball to 69-58 Road Win at Queens
January 11, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Visiting Pfeiffer University held host Queens to just 31% shooting en route to a 69-58 victory in Conference Carolinas womens basketball action at the Grady Cole Center on Wednesday night. The win pushes the Lady Falcons to 8-5 overall, 3-1 in league play while the Royals fall to 3-10, 1-3.
Trailing most of the first half, Pfeiffer clawed their way back to knot the contest at 22-22 with 6:17 on the clock after a three-ball from Kaela Bellefeuil (Kernersville, NC). Bellefeuils triple erased a seven-point deficit for the Lady Falcons. The first visitors lead came with just under three minutes remaining as Jodie Lemons (Madison, NC) drained a pair of free throws to put Pfeiffer up 29-28 to start a string of eight-straight points for Pfeiffer closing out the half.
The Lady Falcons raced out to an 18-point lead coming up on the midway point of the second as Bellefeuil drained another triple along with a layup from leading point scorer Grimsley. A jumper by Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) maintained the 18-point advantage through the five minute mark during the 11-point win.
Grimsley led the Lady Falcons with 17 points while Lemons added 13. Cox, who played just 90 seconds in the first half due to foul trouble, concluded with 10. Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, NC), who currently ranked in the nations top-15 in assists per game, added eight more in the win. Melissa Thomas (Havelock, NC) led the Royals with 21 while Shonice Pettiway (Walstonburg, NC) added 19 points and 11 boards.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Saturday hosting Limestone inside the Merner Gym. Tip time is set for 5:30 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Department for Community Based Services
Office of the Commissioner275 E. Main St.Mail Stop 3W-AFrankfort, KY 40621Phone: (502) 564-3703Fax: (502) 564-6907
Kentucky's Program Improvement Plan and Success
Read Only Version
DCBS services are administered through our network of nine service regions and offices in each of Kentucky's 120 counties. In addition, DCBS uses a network of contract officials to deliver services, such as child care. The provision of services is enhanced through a close relationship and coordination with local community partners.
A native of Midway, Ky. James was appointed commissioner for the Department for Community Based Services on Sept. 5, 2012. James previously served as acting commissioner and deputy commissioner for DCBS.
She received a bachelor of social work degree from Eastern Kentucky University and a master's degree in social work from the University of Kentucky. She has been a licensed clinical social worker since 1993 and currently is licensed in the state of Kentucky.
James has 25 years of clinical social work experience, including more than 17 years working with severely abused and neglected children and their families and four years working with vulnerable adults. She began her career in 1986 as a frontline child protective services worker with the Kentucky Cabinet for Human Resources office in Danville, Ky.
In the late 1980s, James was a part of a group in Florida that began to address the issues of medically complex children in the foster care system. From that group the Florida Medical Foster Parenting Program was developed and became the model for many states around the country.
She has worked in pediatric medical settings with the issues of abuse and neglect and has dealt with issues surrounding children with chronic illness and severe health needs. She also has performed trauma and crisis intervention work and was a domestic violence trainer, educating more than 4,000 medical professionals a year on the issues surrounding violence in families.
The department provides family support; child care; child and adult protection; eligibility determinations for Medicaid and food benefits; and administration of an energy cost assistance program.
The department administers the state foster care and adoption systems and recruits and trains parents to care for the state's children who are waiting for a permanent home.
With offices in every county, DCBS provides services and programs to enhance the self-sufficiency of families; improve safety and permanency for children and vulnerable adults; and, engage families and community partners in a collaborative decision-making process.
DCBS was formed within the Cabinet for Families and Children in 1998 to give local offices more decision-making authority and the ability to collaborate more effectively with other community service providers. The Cabinet for Families and Children and the Cabinet for Health Services were consolidated in 2004 by Governor Ernie Fletcher.
To provide leadership in building high quality, community based human service systems that enhance safety, permanency, well-being and self-sufficiency for Kentucky's families, children and vulnerable adults.

Friday Fashion: Best And Worst

Note: This post is from a high-level perspective of what is "fun". I fully admit that I am not an experienced PvP player, and am just going by what is fun or not for myself. I am not calling for any specific class to be nerfed and/or buffed in a vacuum.
Crowd Control--by which I mean effects that cause a player to temporarily lose control of her character--is an important part of PvP. It adds a second layer of strategy over just inflicting and healing damage. To make an analogy, Crowd Control is like executing a pin in chess. You prevent a piece from being used, without actually needing to capture it.
But Crowd Control is also very frustrating to play against. No one likes losing control of their character, even if only for a short while. So Crowd Control is in somewhat of an awkward position. It needs to exist, to add that extra level of complexity, but it also needs to be kept in check or games become miserable.
There are two situations where Crowd Control in WoW goes over the boundary, in my opinion. The first situation is being able to lock down a character for an excessively long time with multiple abilities. At this point, you are simply not being allowed to play, which is extremely frustrating.
The second situation is being killed while being affected by Crowd Control. The primary culprits here are Stuns and Fears. No one likes being stunned and then blown up. It feels very unfair, like the player is unable to even try to defend themselves.
I would offer two suggestions for WoW PvP:
- All abilities which cause a player to lose control of her character share diminishing returns. No more categories for different types of Crowd Control. Treat them all equally.
- In PvP, all abilities which cause a player to lose control of her character break on receiving damage. This includes Stuns and Fears.
The first change already somewhat exists in WoW. Most abilities are separated into categories, and abilities in each category share diminishing returns. This just removes distinctions between different types of Crowd Control.
The second change is the bigger one, and would probably require balance adjustments. If necessary, glyphs or talents like [Glyph of Polymorph] could be added to make Stuns or Fears more usable.
Crowd Control is necessary in PvP, but it can also be overused and make the game less fun. Separating out Crowd Control from dealing damage lessens the frustration in PvP, and would remove a major source of irritation between classes.

The LA Galaxy are heading back to North Carolina for the U.S. Open Cup.
The two-time USOC champions will travel to North Carolina face either NASL side Carolina Railhawks or PDL club Carolina Dynamo on May 29. The two teams face off at the Railhawks' home pitch of WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. on May 21.
If the Railhawks defeat the Dynamo, the match will take place at WakeMed, but should the Dynamo advance, the match will take place at Macpherson Stadium in Greensboro, N.C. The Railhawks eliminated the Galaxy from the tournament last year with a 2-1 third round victory in Cary.
The U.S. Open Cup match will take place in between LA's clash against Seattle Sounders FC on May 26 at The Home Depot Center and their June 2 match against the New England Revolution.
What do you expect from
LAGalaxy.com's Paolo Ferrari caught up with Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Mike Magee, and Todd Dunivant to preview tonight's clash against the Philadelphia Union.
Watch the video below...
Vancouver Whitecaps FC center back Johnny Leverón has been suspended for one game by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for his foul on Jose Villarreal in the third minute of the LA Galaxy's 3-1 loss to the Whitecaps.
The Honduran defender was awarded a yellow card for the foul by Sorin StoicaLeverón will serve his suspension for Vancouver's match against the Portland Timbers on May 18.
The suspension was only one of the MLS Disciplinary Committee's five rulings on Wednesday, which included one game suspensions for Chivas USA's Mario De Luna, Colorado Rapids forward Edson Buddle, Real Salt Lake defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe and a reduced suspension for San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Marvin Chavez, who saw his two game suspension reduced by a game.
Watch the Leverón's foul below...
Landon Donovan spoke with Joe Tutino in the latest edition of the Galaxy All-Access Podcast.
Joe Tutino spoke to Donovan about a number of topics including his 200th game in a Galaxy uniform as well as a number of topics. But the answer that may draw the most looks is Tutino's question to Donovan about the SI.com report that he'll be left off the U.S. National Team squad for their June matches, which include three World Cup Qualifiers.
"Well, Jurgen and I have consistently spoken over many months now. I was not aware that was information that was already made public. Jurgen has not told me that it was definitive."
Tutino then wondered if the report could be incorrect."
"You never know...all I can do is I've said all along is do what I do. If I'm looking at it objectively, do I think I can help the team]? Yes, absolutely. Do I think that I've really earned my way back in yet? Probably not. That's a sort of six in one, half dozen in another," Donovan added. "But I really do believe that if I get called in that I can help the team, even if I'm not playing, I can help the team. I think that my experience having been through this three times could be very beneficial, but if I'm not in then it is what it is and I'll get my way back in.
Listen to the full podcast below…
CHESTER, Pa. – Robbie Keane has targeted Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union to make his return from a three match injury layoff and it seems like he'll be on the field as the LA Galaxy look to end a two game losing skid.
Keane returned to training late last week after dealing with an ankle injury, but did not travel when LA dropped their second straight match in a 3-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The Irish forward rejoined the Galaxy on Sunday and trained with the club during each of their sessions in Philadelphia.
"I've been out for a few weeks and it's nice to be back," Keane told reporters at PPL Park on Tuesday. "I'm not going to be match fit, you know, because I missed three or four weeks. But I've done a lot of fitness with the trainers so I feel good and feel ready to go. It's been a frustrating few weeks for me, but I'm back now."
And according to Keane's teammate Landon Donovan, he seems poised to lift the Galaxy's attack against the Union.
"He looks sharp, he looks good, he'll add a dimension to our attack," said Landon Donovan. "Whether Robbie is playing our not, we have to be back and our group is going to be better."
CHESTER, Pa. —Todd Dunivant has missed the past three matches with a left leg strain, but the LA Galaxy left back is expecting to be available for selection for Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union.
Rookie Greg Cochrane has filled in for the veteran left back, but he was among those who struggled in LA's 3-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Saturday. If Dunivant does take the field on Wednesday, it would be his first appearance since his strain first occurred during the Galaxy's 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on April 20.
"I'm feeling good. I'm ready to go and ready to be available," Dunivant told LAGalaxy.com. "We've had two losses in a row and we want to right the ship a little bit and it's an important game because we have a three game road stand and we didn't start off very well so it's an important game to come back on."
Dunivant's veteran presence could be immense for a Galaxy back line that has struggled at times in recent matches, directly leading to goals for the opposition. The Galaxy can ill afford such lapses on Wednesday against a Union side that boasts current MLS leading goal scorer Jack McInerney and veteran forward Conor Casey.
"Defensively, we've played pretty well, but we've broken down at critical moments and that's something that we did too much last year," Dunivant added. "It's the sign of a team that may be a little too lax and we need to keep being mentally strong for 90 minutes and making sure that throughout the entire game we're clued in."
CHESTER, Pa. - Landon Donovan understands that if he's going to earn his way back on the U.S. National Team, first and foremost, he'll have to improve his form with the LA Galaxy.
A report by Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl released on Tuesday states that Donovan will not be called up by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for their next month's World Cup Qualifiers and friendlies. The report goes on to state that the door is still open for Donovan to earn the call for the 2013 Gold Cup, which begins in July.
In five games played this season, Donovan has scored one goal and one assists. Following Galaxy training at PPL Park in preparation for Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union, Donovan spoke about the speculation with the U.S. squad.
"Any player that has a chance to play for the national team is always thinking about it, but the reality for me is to get back there, I have to play well for the Galaxy," said Donovan. "So I can think about it and dream about it all I want, but the reality is that I have to play well here and then eventually maybe I'll get my chance again. I'm hopeful, but I can only control what I can control and I'm going to do my best to get called up."
In the latest edition of View from the Booth, I fill in for Cobi Jones (big shoes to fill, I know) and analyze the LA Galaxy's match against the Philadelphia Union with Joe Tutino.
Check it out below...
According to Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl, Landon Donovan will not be making his U.S. National Team return during their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.
In addition to the World Cup Qualifiers, SI is reporting that Donovan will also be left off the squad for their pair of June friendlies as well, but he could make the roster for the 2013 Gold Cup.
Last month, Donovan addressed U.S. National Team boss Jurgen Klinsmann's comments that he still had a ways to go before he earned his way back onto the U.S. roster.
"I agree with him. Just because you score a goal and have a good game doesn't mean that you're a National Team player. I've said from the beginning that I have to earn my way back and playing one good game doesn't earn your way back. I still have a long way to go."

In a new segment of the LA Galaxy Insider blog, I decided to take advantage of all the traveling and frequent flier miles that I've earned to bring the readers some local color.
This "Concession Section" will be a space where I review the food at each of the stadiums in MLS. The dishes won't simply the selections available for the press or in the suites, but open for all fans at their respective stadium. In fact, this idea stemmed from my own lack of interest in the press fare.
Choosing a location at BC Place proved difficult as first as there were a variety of different opinions, but I ultimately settled on a local favorite, which I felt best embodied the multiculturalism of Vancouver. For my first ever review, I began with Vij's which is an upscale Indian dining establishment founded in 1994 by renown Indian-Canadian chef Vikram Vij and his wife Meeru Dhalwala. The restaurant has had a stand at the BC Place food court and on the stadium's concourse since November 2011.
The location has just four curries to choose from: Chicken Curry with Kalonji Spice, Garam Masala Beef Curry, Mother-In-Law's Pork Curry and Punjabi Daal. After consulting the staff at the Vij's stand, I opted for the Pork Curry, which was the staff favorite.
At a roughly $10.09, the curry was not a cheap option for fans, but it proved up to the task taste-wise. The curry was particularly spicy and with the onions and parsley, mixed fairly well with the pork. While the curry was certainly quality, the price is likely to cause some to opt for cheaper options.
Next up, PPL Park in Chester, PA.

Canon-McMillan clinches undefeated section titlePublished May 6, 2013 at 11:24 am (Updated May 6, 2013 at 11:24 am)
Alyana Astuto leads Canon-McMillan into the WPIAL Quad-A softball playoffs with 72 strikeouts in 77 innings. She owns a 1.45 ERA. The Lady Macs recently wrapped up an undefeated record in section action. They are the defending WPIAL champions.
Canon-McMillan center fielder Yazmin Kotar makes contact during a recent 11-0 win over Bethel Park.
With a 12-1 triumph over Peters Township at North Strabane Field, Canon-McMillan clinched the Section 4-AAAA title with an undefeated, 14-0, record.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
Linda Rush led the Lady Macs' hit parade. The freshman shortstop crushed a three-run homer to end the game in the sixth inning. She socked three hits in five plate appearances.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
Giorgiana Zeremenko also tagged a round-tripper in the sixth. The junior catcher is just rounding into shape after having missed six weeks of the season because of a shoulder injury.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
One of the WPIAL's most powerful hitters, Zeremenko batted .475 with seven homers and 31 RBIs last spring when the Lady Macs captured the WPIAL Quad-A title. While the four-bagger was Zeremenko's first of the year, she went 2-for-3 with a double in a 15-2 win over Upper St. Clair, prior to the PT win.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
"I don't think she's where she needs to be. It's like the beginning of the season for her," said CM skipper Michelle Moeller of Zeremenko. However, she noted that the home run helped Zeremenko's confidence.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
"It's going to take some time, but Giorgiana was always one who sees the ball well. She always was able to adjust to pitches and that's why her strikeout total has been so low."https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
Alayna Astuto's strikeout total, however, is high. That's because she's the Lady Macs' talented pitcher. The senior has 72 strikeouts and owns a 1.45 ERA.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
Astuto struck out six against the Indians. She scattered three hits, two for extra bases, a double by Tori Weida and a home run by Carly Konopka.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->

Olivia Lorusso is at .444. The junior third baseman has clubbed eight doubles and four homers. She has driven in 24 runs. Lorusso tagged a three-run homer against USC.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
Also in the win against the Panthers, Engel was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. McCartney smacked two doubles. Zeremenko and Ally Bellaire also had two-baggers while Rush tagged a triple.https://docs.saxotech.com/display/Onl/ArticleParagraph.pbo Created: 20120905 SJJ -->
After finishing up the regular season with a non-section game against Ambridge, the Lady Macs begin their defense of the WPIAL title next week.

A 2-0 win over rival Keystone Oaks assured the Rebels the Section 1 banner. SLS finished 10-0 in the division while the Golden Eagles followed in second place with an 8-2 slate.

Stunning...but... We bought these jeans for our daughter about two months ago. They are beautiful. The material is great and durable. Though we have noticed that the rhinestones are basically glued on. Upon washing the jeans some of the rhinestones started to come off. It does say on the tag to machine wash inside out with cold water. We no longer wash them in the machine. We hand wash them to keep the rhinestones from coming off. November 7, 2013

Parents, police officers and government officials gathered this week to discuss student and teacher safety.
The public forum was held Wednesday in the auditorium at
Dr. Dan Novey, superintendent of Carteret County Schools, opened the discussion explaining that the evening was about seeking input to "work together to create even safer schools."
Novey was one of five panel members who addressed the public's specific concerns. Other panel members were Chief Court Councilor Mary Mallard, Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck, Coastal Care CEO Foster Norman and Morehead City Police Chief Wrenn Johnson.
A key concern from attendees was the availability and role of a school resource officer. Most agreed on the need for an officer's presence, but officials acknowledged budget and other resource constraints have left many schools in the area without one.
Parents weighed in on their concerns.
"We are not an area that you would look at and say 'Gosh, this is an unsafe town', but we do look a whole lot like Newtown Sandy Hook. The demographics are so similar that it's scary," said Martha Swiber, who has three children in Carteret County Schools. "I want to tell the board and anyone from the state who has power to send money our way how important it is to have student resource officers in schools."
SROs also help build a positive relationship between children and the police force at an early age, according to speakers.
"What a wonderful thing if we could change kids perceptions who not too long ago when they saw a police officer, it invoked a negative response," said Kieran Shanahan, secretary of the N. C. Department of Public Safety. "I do believe school resource officers change that paradigm in a very positive way."
Another prevalent topic was how to prevent and handle crisis situations. Some attendees wondered if schools were ready to respond to a physical assault or a shooting, or how schools would react during a lockdown situation.
"In 1958 in the
Johnson said the procedures in place are sufficient.
"I think our lockdown program works. It's been practiced by teachers and students," Johnson said. "It has been addressed, and will continue to be addressed."
