I'm pleased that you have come to our website! The College of Arts and Sciences is ISU's largest and most diverse academic unit, offering 43 undergraduate majors, 44 minors, 16 masters programs, and 3 doctoral programs across sixteen academic departments. CAS faculty members are award-winning teachers, scholars, and they also engage in community and academic service. Students who major in an Arts and Sciences discipline (as with all academic programs at ISU) will engage in experiential learning and community engagement throughout their academic program.
The College of Arts and Sciences is the academic backbone of the university. It is home to the majority of ISU's Foundational Studies courses and also houses disciplines that comprise the liberal arts. Regardless of your major, students who major in the liberal arts leave college with strong communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills. A degree in the liberal arts trains you to write well and cultivates your ability to approach and solve problems from a variety of perspectives. These are skills that employers value. It is our contention that a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences will provide these kinds of skills that will help you succeed, whether your immediate goal is to seek employment after graduate or pursue graduate studies.
We invite you to peruse the pages in this website and to visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/indianastatecas. See what our departments have to offer. After you do so, I think you will see why so many students choose to come to ISU and find their niche in a major within Arts and Sciences.
Warm Regards,

iO Tillett Wright:
Fifty shades of gay
Artist iO Tillett Wright has photographed 2,000 people who consider themselves somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum and asked many of them: Can you assign a percentage to how gay or straight you are? Most people, it turns out, consider themselves to exist in the gray areas of sexuality, not 100% gay or straight. Which presents a real problem when it comes to discrimination: Where do you draw the line? (Filmed at TEDxWomen.)

Customer Raves & Reviews
Fast delivery, very professional presentation!
Fantastic service! Website is easy to use, and very personalized. Very professional presentation! Love our save the dates!
Quality + affordable price +country style = just want i wanted!
I really can't express how much I appreciate quality merchandise at an affordable price. Not only was i impressed with the packaging, but everything was shipped and sent to me in a very timely fashion. The colors i picked were very true to what their web page showed. Another plus was that this was the only company that had my country burlap color along with lace as an option as the background. (This is an ongoing theme for my wedding.) All in all, my save the date's turned out better than i expected. The few i have sent out so far my guest have been nothing, but impressed. I highly recommend using Magnet Street for magnet save the dates. Since i had such a wonderful experience, i also plan on purchasing my wedding invitations through them.
Great company to work with!
I began looking around for "Save the Date" magnets a few months ago and found this design which fit perfectly into my wedding theme of vintage garden. I wanted to adjust some text that was not allowed to be edited in the online personalization area. I used the chat room to ask a question about it and was told I could just request the change and then view a proof. It worked wonderfully and I just received my order. The only negative was that I was shorted a pack of 25 envelopes which did then hold up my process of sending them out. I called the number from the website, left a message, and then got a call the next day saying the envelopes were in the mail!
Beautiful and affordable save the date magnets!
My entire experience with magnetstreet was very smooth and stress free. I first ordered 1 sample magnet which USPS somehow delivered to the wrong address (even though the address was correctly printed), I called magnetstreet and right away they resent my order free of charge. When I went to order all of my save the date magnets someone made sure that all of the specifications I asked for were correct prior to printing. I definitely recommend them, not only did my magnets turn out to be beautiful and just how I wanted, but their excellent customer service team will ensure they answer all of your questions every step of the way. Also their prices are very affordable.
Just as I had hoped!
The save the dates turned out just as I had hoped for. The color and design is just like the proof. Also, Magnetstreet was very helpful making the changes I requested (moving the save the date text above the picture). The company also kept me up to date on the status/shipment of my order and it arrived right on time. The only thing I wouldn't rate as excellent was the quality of the piture printing which I rated as good. It was a little grainier than I expected, but I think that is pretty common for printing on magnets with other save the dates I've seen. I also only notice it when I'm looking at it really closely, and you can't tell once you're a foot or so away. All in all, I'm very happy with the finished product!

Gallery: Pickett Furniture Uses Sustainable Wood and Vintage Textiles t...
Coming from a family of woodworkers, it is no wonder that founder, Jeremy Pickett, launched his furniture company in 2009. After several years of apprenticing under other influential woodworkers in the city, Pickett found he was truly driven by a passion for working with his hands and he now operates from the 12,000-square-foot Pickett Studios at Pier 41 in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The line has grown immensely over the years and includes items such as skateboards, bamboo bike frames, pillows, lighting and furniture.
Pickett does his best to source his materials locally when possible, with most of the wood originating from a family-run mill on the Delaware-Pennsylvania border. Pickett sends his designs to the mill ahead of time and the wood is then custom picked to best suit each project. The line also includes several reclaimed and salvaged woods that come from deconstruction projects in the city or fallen trees in Westchester County and Staten Island.
The adorable Bataljon Robots are a new introduction straight off the CNC assembly line. It's the first time the company has tested out using CNC mass production on a product, but so far, the robots' six-piece rotatable, removable magnetic parts seem to be working well. The robots are available in red, purple, silver, blue, and green and all are colored using organic inks and Waterborne Urethane Clear Lacquer, making them child-safe and environmentally-friendly.
Another eye-catching design, the Brann Tripod Lamp, was inspired by Pickett's Stengel Bamboo Bicycle Frame. It is made from bamboo poles sourced from Maryland and a hemp fiber "lug" that keeps it in one piece. For those who love a custom electronic vibe, the Morkt Samfunn Console is a throwback to the 1940s and 50s and offers the best in high efficiency, vacuum tube amplification and speaker design.
Not only well-designed, Pickett furniture is also constructed to last and withstand unexpected conditions. The team uses hand cut Japanese-style joinery that removes the need for metal fasteners. The Ond Bench features this age-old technique to achieve a visually simple design made from solid, durable Cherry wood that is sure to become an heirloom piece that will be handed down for generations.
Decorating the sturdy bench, a collection of colorful vintage and antique textiles converted into pillows and cushions add a plush layer and colorful pop to the furniture. Pickett collected the fabrics during his travels to places such as Uzbekistan, Finland, and Japan. If you're wondering when this busy designer had time to collect such treasures, you may be surprised to know that Pickett took a year-long adventure around the world with his family before fully endeavoring into his own business. During his travels, he was greatly inspired by the craftsmanship he saw in the ancient temples in Japan and the Viking ship museums in Norway, by the prevalent use of bamboo in Asia and the vintage textiles of Mongolia, Russia, and Scandinavia. See if you can identify some of these international influences as you ponder the designs in his signature line!

"Hell on Wheels" renewed for 2nd season
Posted 28 December 2011 - 02:24 PM
IMHO, based on all my prejudices of course, "Hell on Wheels" is the best new drama series of 2011 including the new ones on premium channels. Great cinematography, directing, and acting, supported by well-written scripts based upon well-researched American history.

|All Children's Hospital And University Of South Florida Mourn World-Renowned Researcher Dr. Robert A. Good
All Children's Hospital And University Of South Florida Mourn World-Renowned Researcher Dr. Robert A. Good
(June 14, 2003) St. Petersburg, FL – The man considered by many to be the father of modern immunology has died. Dr. Robert A. Good was Physician-In-Chief of All Children's Hospital, Director of the Children's Research Institute at All Children's in St. Petersburg, FL and Distinguished Research Professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. He died late on Friday night, June 13, 2003 in his St. Petersburg home surrounded by family, including those he counted as his "intellectual children" his students.
"The world has lost one of the greatest scientists of our time," remarked Gary Carnes, President and CEO of All Children's Health System. "And All Children's has lost a loved and honored member of our hospital family. Dr. Good's legacy will live on forever in the many scientists and physicians who trained under his tutelage, and through All Children's continued commitment to training tomorrow's healers and researching tomorrow's cures."
"Robert Good was a friend and an inspiration to me and to literally thousands of physicians and scientists who are trying to save children from complex disease," said John Curran, MD, pediatrician and Vice Dean of the USF College of Medicine. "He taught us to look further than we could see at the time, to reach for new horizons of ideas we hadn't yet imagined. He did this himself, and it will be his legacy."
"The university joins Bob Good's legions of friends in grieving for a mentor, but also in treasuring his extraordinary accomplishments," said Judy Genshaft, President of the University of South Florida. "His impact on this university is palpable. Beginning in the 1980s, he galvanized this university's powerful alliance with All Children's Hospital. It was our honor to name him a Distinguished University Professor, and he challenged us all to greatness."
"Through Dr. Good and the many people at All Children's Hospital," said Congressman C.W. "Bill" Young (R -St. Petersburg), "my wife Beverly and I came to realize the importance of bone marrow transplantation and succeeded in establishing the National Bone Marrow Registry. Dr. Good is a giant in medicine whose research and compassion gave hope to thousands. He touched our community in so many ways."
"All Children's was truly blessed when Dr. Good joined as Physician-In-Chief in 1985," said J. Dennis Sexton, then President & CEO of the hospital. "His contributions to the lives of children, both as a scientist and as a human being, are without equal. His concern for children's lives through his work to understand the immune system and bone marrow transplantation benefited not just the little ones, but countless thousands of adults who have been saved through the discoveries he made. There are few people that have affected the children of the world so positively as Robert Good."
Dr. Good's work with immunology was just one facet of a lifetime of significant medical and biological research. A world-recognized researcher, teacher and pediatrician and a frequently cited medical and biological scientist, Good was considered a pioneer in the field of immunology. He began his work in 1944 with studies to define, experimentally, the immunologic function of the plasma cell as the antibody-reproducing cell. His studies helped to establish that immunodeficiency diseases are not rare, as once thought, but a frequent and very important basis of serious disease in mankind. His studies also led to the independent discovery of the role of the thymus in developmental biology, the recognition and demonstration of the two basic arms of the immune system known as T-cells and B-cells, and the discovery of the most useful methods to foster bone marrow transplantation.
Good was considered a founder of bone marrow transplantation, performing the first successful human bone marrow transplant in the world in 1968 while at the University of Minnesota. The patient, an infant with a profound inherited immune deficiency that had killed eleven male children in his extended family, was cured with marrow donated by his sister.
He is now a healthy adult and the father of twin boys. Good was the first to use bone marrow transplantation to cure a fatal genetic disease (SCID); a fatal acquired disease (aplastic anemia) and an enzyme deficiency (adenosine deaminase deficiency). Good and his colleagues continued to research further uses of bone marrow transplantation, which is now considered useful in treating some 75 diseases including leukemias and otherwise fatal immunodeficiency disorders.
In the eighteen years since his arrival at All Children's Hospital in April of 1985, Good and his research teams received millions of dollars in federal and private research grants to study such issues as how to eliminate the hazards of graft-versus-host disease in recipients of certain types of transplants and the creation of immunologic tolerance in transplant recipients. The role of nutrition in the aging process was also a subject of study. In addition to activities in the research labs, Good helped to train more than one hundred future physicians through residency and fellowship programs at All Children's Hospital and the University of South Florida. Good was a regular on teaching rounds with these young doctors, a means by which he said he was able to take basic research questions from the patient's bedside to the laboratory bench -- and back. The first Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at All Children's Hospital was built under Dr. Good's direction. He also instituted clinical programs in pediatric allergy/immunology, pediatric rheumatology and pediatric HIV at All Children's.
After initial successes with bone marrow transplantation and immunologic research at the University of Minnesota, Good was tapped in 1973 to become President and Director of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and Director of Research at Memorial Hospital in New York. It was during his ten-year period at Sloan-Kettering that Dr. Good was featured in a Time magazine cover story, "Toward Control of Cancer." Thereafter, Dr. Good joined the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City as Member and Head of the Cancer Research Program, Professor of Pediatrics, Research Professor of Medicine and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology.
Throughout his scientific career of more than a half-century, Good had been the recipient of more than one hundred international and national awards, including:
Good received more than a dozen honorary degrees from academic institutions. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a founding member of the National Institutes of Medicine, and a member of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences. He served a one-year term on the President's Cancer Panel, the group that spurred the development of the "Conquest of Cancer" program from its formation in 1972. In 1980, he was named the first Foreign Advisor to the Academy of Medical Sciences in the People's Republic of China.
Good authored or co-authored more than 2,000 publications and had written or edited some 50 books. He trained and educated more than 300 students, each of whom specializes in analyzing and developing cellular and humoral immunology. More than 200 of these former students or former young associates who studied with him are now professors or department chairman at institutions of learning and research around the world.
On the personal side, Good was born May 21, 1922 in Crosby, Minnesota, the second son of two professional educators. Their love of teaching was only one of the early influences that shaped his life. When Good was six years old, his father died of cancer. It was then that he first vowed to become a doctor and pursue research that would cure disease. He attended the University of Minnesota, overcoming a polio-like disease in his junior year of undergraduate study to continue his academic career at the University's Medical School. He received his B.A. in 1944, M.B. in 1946, and both Ph.D. and M.D. in 1947, the first time the University had awarded the dual degrees to a recipient in a single ceremony. Good is survived by his wife, Noorbibi K. Day-Good, Ph.D., his five children, two stepchildren and 17 grandchildren.

Practice Makes Perfect? When Does Massed Learning Improve Product Usage Proficiency
2010, Journal of Consumer Research
Arun Lakshmanan, Charles Lindsey, H. Shanker Krishnan
Previous research has shown that spacing of information (over time) leads to better learning of product information. We develop a theoretical framework to describe how massed or spaced learning schedules interact with different learning styles to influence product usage proficiency. The core finding is that with experiential learning, proficiency in a product usage task is better under massed conditions, whereas with verbal learning, spacing works better. This effect is demonstrated for usage proficiency assessed via speed as well as quality of use. Further, massed learning also results in better usage proficiency on transfer tasks, for both experiential and verbal learning. We also find that massed learning in experiential learning conditions leads not only to better usage proficiency but also to positive perceptions of the product. Overall, the pattern of results is consistent with a conceptual mapping account, with massed experiences leading to a superior mental model of usage and thus to better usage proficiency.
Lakshmanan, Arun, Charles Lindsey, and H. Shanker Krishnan (2010), "Practice Makes Perfect? When Does Massed Learning Improve Product Usage Proficiency?," Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 37, No. 4, pp. 599-613.

So far I have only concentrated on the idea of picking up great companies which have a history of increasing payments and which have a higher than average probability of increasing their payments in the future. I have explored the ideas of dollar cost averaging ( link), my screen for entry criteria ( link) and my ideas on portfolio diversification (link). But when would I consider actually selling a dividend stock?
To be perfectly honest the answer is not a black and white one.
Initially I had mentioned that I planned on selling my stocks only in the occasion that a company that I own cuts its dividend. Even though my entry criteria is to buy companies that increase their payments over time, a company that I hold and does not raise its payment is on my radar. However, as I continuously add funds to my portfolio, the stocks that are unable to raise their dividend would not get any extra funding. Thus their proportion in my overall portfolio will decrease over time.
Is it really a good idea to sell stocks that cut their payments? What if this is just a temporary solution? Typically, when a stock cuts its dividend, the stock had already lost double digits from its recent highs, prior to the announcement. After the announcement, all dividend investors rush for the exits, creating even further supply in the stock thus pushing the price even lower. I looked at ED's long-term chart for this exercise. From my previous analysis of ED ( link) I had noticed that the company had cut its dividend in 1974. The stock did fall by about 50% in April 1974. Had you sold at that time, you'd have been happy when the stock fell to $6/ share and when the dividend payment was cut by more than 50%. By February 1977 however, the dividend was even higher than the previous dividend and the stock was a little bit higher as well. Investors received increasing dividend payments for over 32 years since that moment.

The Night Owl
Wow, what a night! First off, "Guess who's back, back again!" I could not be more excited that of the 4 people competing, Judd won the competition to get back into the house!
And just as the whole house didn't want Aaryn to win HOH when she stayed, but she did, they all did not want Elissa to win tonight, so of COURSE Elissa got HOH.
As soon as the HOH comp was over and everyone came inside, the HGs scattered to their various corners to talk about how unhappy they were with both the return of a HG and with Elissa getting HOH. Amanda immediately started her same old loop. She pulled Andy and McCrae into the cockpit so she could talk about how she is still SURE Judd was MVP and he just HAS to go because he has been trying to get her out of the house for WEEKS now. Andy was more than happy to jump in with about a million "it's not fair's" and McCrae agreed. Amanda also went straight to Elissa to try to get Judd put on the block. Elissa flat out told Amanda she would not be putting up Judd.
Elissa did tell Amanda that she would definitely be putting up Aaryn and possibly McCrae next to Aaryn. What she said out loud was that she wants someone on the block that can beat Aaryn in veto, and that she wants someone who will fight their heart out to keep Aaryn from getting it. It's very possible that this is the case, but I'm hoping that Elissa has bigger plans. Amanda ran straight to McCrae to talk to him about what Elissa told her. Amanda started crying over how she didn't win HOH and how McCrae might be going on the block, and they both schemed about how to get GinaMarie put up so they could still vote out Aaryn but keep themselves safe. They also schemed about what to tell Judd about his eviction and eventually decided to blame it all on Helen and tell him that Helen had been telling them that he was MVP and he was after her.
McCrae then pulled Elissa into the cockpit to tell her how "dumb" it would be to put him on the block next to Aaryn. He told her he would do anything to win the veto anyway including shave his head, and made a pretty long and convincing, if not somewhat forceful argument. For a while it seemed like Elissa bought it. She told McCrae she would consider not putting him up, but that Aaryn MUST go and if she feels like ANYONE doesn't fight as hard as they can for the veto, she is putting that person up next to Aaryn.
Then Elissa pulled Spencer into the have-not room. She made the same threats about veto that she made to McCrae to Spencer and also made a deal with him for 2 weeks of safety if she didn't put him on the block and told him she would likely be putting up McCrae and Aaryn. Spencer acted like he was cool with all of this but then ran to McCrae and Andy to report all that Elissa had said.
During this time Aaryn (who I am sure knows the deal) mostly just laid around and looked like she might die, and Andy revived his old game of "pop goes the weasel" into every conversation he could fit himself into.
Pretty late in the night Elissa got her HOH room. She got her Yoga matt (though it wasn't the right kind) and pictures (though they were not the ones she wanted), Fake eyelashes (that she said she would NEVER wear), pictures her little boy drew for her, a necklace from her mother, A letter from Rachel, and a large bottle of Skinny Girl Tequila. Aaryn was the first to say she was tired and leave the HOH.
Once Aaryn went downstairs, Andy eventually followed her so that he could talk to her. He told her he did not want GinaMarie going up next to her and that he thought McCrae would probably be the one going up with her. He told her that he would prefer that over GM going up. Now, I don't know if Andy is totally serious about his final 3 with Aaryn and GM or if he is just saying things to her in case she comes off the block, but if he is serious, McCrae, or whoever takes that spot next to Aaryn tomorrow could actually be in trouble.
Not to be deterred from being able to control the nominations, Amanda wasted no time in snuggling right up to "her new best friend". I'm hoping all of this has no affect at all on Elissa just like everything else anyone tells her.
It's very hard for me to tell if Elissa really does live on another planet, or if there are actually wheels turning, but here is what I am HOPING she is doing. I am hoping she is trying to break up the two major duos still left in the house by putting one of each up (McCrae and Aaryn). If Aaryn won veto I am hoping she would put up Amanda next to McCrae to break them up, or put up GinaMarie next to Aaryn if McCrae came down. That way you break up one of the couples either way. I'm not positive this is what she is doing, but it's the only thing that I think would make sense with the nominations she is making.
At this point a lot of them are still awake and I'm not sure how much more game talk will happen tonight, but I THINK it's likely that Aaryn and McCrae will go on the block today with Aaryn being the target. Elissa is a little different from all the previous HOH's though, and that could be subject to change..especially with Amanda and McCrae constantly in her ear. It should be an interesting week depending on who goes up and who wins veto. Elissa seems determined to make her HOH count (that's what Helen told her to do) so maybe a decent sized move will be made.
I'm SO happy Judd is back! I'm not an Elissa fan, but I'm happy to see the person they all did not want to win HOH actually get it, and if she sends out Amanda, all the better for me. This has the potential to be an interesting week between all the paranoia, campaigning, and fighting. I don't think it will go exactly as any one person has planned out...for once. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night...
Small follow up to report. Andy and Judd have now had a talk in which Andy told Judd to TRUST him that he woudl keep him safe. At first I thought Andy was just covering his ass, but he told Judd about Amanda getting into his ear and making him believe things about Judd that were not true. He told him that his eviction was due to Amanda making everyone believe he was MVP, and he told him he would fill him in on more tomorrow. Judd told Andy that in Amanda's goodbye message she said some things that he did not trust like that McCrae told HER that Judd was coming after her so she had to evict him. Very interesting...Amanda is plotting jury votes apparently. Anyway, I don't know where Andy will actually stand on this in the end, but it was an interesting conversation for sure.
Amanda and McCrae have been trying to strongarm Elissa out of her nomination decision for quite a while in front of Judd. Thus far Elissa has been shutting Amanda down while Amanda pulls out over and over that SHE is the one that keeps Elissa safe and says that she NEVER EVER EVER wanted Elissa on the block last week. I'm not sure how long Elissa will hold up, but the longer this ridiculous conversation goes, the more I hope she sticks to her guns.

A Lumholtz Legacy: Tarahumara Mask
by AMNH on
For the first expedition organized by the Museum's Division of Anthropology, to the Sierra Madre range in Mexico in 1890, the Museum recruited a researcher with a truly global resume.
Born near Lillehammer, Norway, Carl Sophus Lumholtz was an ethnologist and naturalist with an intense interest in people and their environments. A pioneer of the participant-observation technique, he had come to the Museum's attention for his work in Australia, where he spent four years learning the customs of the indigenous Australians while collecting botanical and zoological specimens.
Cosmic Cocktails and Space Arcade
by AMNH on
Escape the midwinter slump with a night out at the Museum. On Thursday, January 26, Cosmic Cocktails and Space Arcade will transform the Rose Center for Earth and Space into a party scene complete with hors d'oeuvres, open bar, indie arcade games provided by Babycastles, and exclusive after-hours access to the exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration. Throughout the night, One Ring Zero will play music from their album Planets, a tribute to the solar system. Below, band members Joshua Camp and Michael Hearst share the inside story behind the album.
Modeling Cosmic Evolution at AMNH
by AMNH on
The fifth floor of the Rose Center for Earth and Space is home to the Museum's Department of Astrophysics, which includes a research group of two dozen graduate students, research scientists, and postdocs. Mordecai-Mark Mac Low is one of three curators in the department. Below is the second in a series of features on the curators' areas of research.
Curator Mac Low's office is bright, and most of the floor space is claimed by book-lined shelves and neat stacks of papers. Just outside the door, the hall window—marked with equations scribbled in red and blue marker—looks out onto the gray top of the Hayden Sphere as sunlight pours in from 81st Street.
Mac Low also studies the evolution of stars, but his more theoretical approach to astrophysics requires months of computing time and routine digital conference calls with an international network of collaborators and students.
Celebrate Kwanzaa at the Museum on December 31
by AMNH on
At a time when Kwanzaa was still a rather new tradition, the Museum became one of the places where New York-area residents came to celebrate. Over the past 33 years, the annual Kwanzaa gathering at the Museum has grown into one of the most engaging events of its kind. This year's celebration on December 31 will feature an array of high-energy performers, an international marketplace, and more. Monique Scott, assistant director for cultural education at the Museum, recently answered a few questions about the holiday and the history of the Kwanzaa celebration at the Museum.
The Hayden Letters: Arthur Proposes a Dinosaur Expedition to Venus

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
We found a tiny black kitten hiding in the box of pumpkins at our grocery store five years ago.... He was so tiny and was crying. I picked him up and he started purring. I took him home to my family, we named him Boo and he has been a loving sweet boy that loves to cuddle as close to us as he can get! Best cat!
We had a black cat for 16 years. He was a spooky looking black cat with yellow eyes and sometimes scared some who are not "cat people". But looks can be deceiving. He was a sweet cat who just waited for you to sit down so he could curl up on your lap. If you were to lie down he would lay on your chest and frequently reach up and touch your face with one paw. He was a sweet little guy who looked like a jungle cat. I would definitely not pass on a black cat if adopting.
We have 5 black cats, all adopted from local shelters. All are very special and they get along and co-exist with our Irish Wolf hound. I have always had black cats, they look kool and to me, they seem to be smarter then most cats. I highly recommend adopting a black cat or 2 from your local shelter.
Last Halloween my brother in-law found a stray black kitten in a mall parking lot. Seeing as it was halloween, he was worried what some people might do if they found this little black cat so he brought him home. A few weeks later he was the newest addition to our family. He is the most loving little cat and is best friends with our russian blue Vladimir. Whoever said black cats were bad luck on halloween couldn't be more wrong! We are in fact very lucky to have Zorro in our home.
Black cats are the best!! I lost my dear "Precious" 8/31/11 after 9 years of unconditional love by a stroke. I saved him from a horrible outside life of hiding in an old tire in the woods. Precious was my constant main man and I miss him so!!!
Black cats give so much love, please do not pass them by when looking for a new friend at the shelters.
We rescued our sweet baby, Jack when our Pit treed him in the backyard. He was soo tiny but very trusting and came down to my daughter without any trouble. We gave him a high shelf in the bathroom so he could look down on the dog (Quigley). As soon as Quigley relized he was part of the family all he wanted to do was play. Now they play togather, with Jack being the istigator and tell on each other when one is being naughty. Black Cats are awsome!! Wouldn't know we would do without him and "Q" would really be lonesome!
Black cats = all the colors of the rainbow. The two black cats I have had in my life have been the most affectionate and loving cats out of them all. Sleeping with their paw in my hand all night, the hugs, the kisses, the connection, their sense of adventure and actual comic timing- too many stories to tell. They are so beautiful and have such amazing personalities.
Except for a tiny white spot under his chin, my old friend Ben was entirely black. Truly a miniture panther in appearance, we adopted Ben from Animal Humane when he was almost a year old. It wasn't easy convincing our 6 year old to adopt a full grown cat rather than a cute little kitten, but his sweetness won all our hearts. Ben taught me to keep my cats indoors, safe from cars, humans, other animals and feline diseases. Ben suffered 2 incidents of cruel human-caused damage and yet remained trusting, loving, friendly and engaged. He consistently demonstrated loyalty and gentleness. When he looked at me, the Love in his eyes was undeniable.
Our cat, Clyde, is solid black and is the coolest cat ever! He is about 10 years old now and was given to us by a freind who's barn cat had a litter. He is huge! He has long fluffy hair and is just the biggest most lovable baby ever. He likes to go outside but we make sure on Halloween night that we keep him inside. Im not sure if the stories are true about people stealing black cats at Halloween, but we are not taking any chances!

10 things everyone should know about graphic design
Great graphics and branding don't simply fall from the sky. Impressive brand collateral and marketing visuals requires purposeful planning and consideration. Effective graphic design is way more than just making things look pretty.
This quick 5-minute read teaches you the essentials of why graphic design is so vital, what brand identity is and how to best choose a graphic designer for maximizing your branding efforts. Be groovy.
Graphic design is visual communication
What are graphics?
A graphic is simply a thing you see, created specifically to communicate something to someone. A stop sign, a yellow pages ad, a bumper sticker -- all examples of something purposefully created to get some message across. In modern culture, we're exposed to literally thousands of graphics each day, all after our attention... trying to tell us something, sell us something, influence us in some way.
Graphics visually share knowledge.
Graphics are a vital part of our economy and society, and many organizations would cease to exist without some form of visual communication. Imagine doing business with no website, no product photos, no catalogs. No printed invoices, no flyers, no business cards, no phone number on the side of your work van. Graphics are an essential part of doing business.
What is graphic design?
Graphic design is the deliberate process of creating graphics. Graphic designers use a combination of shapes, colors, angles, textures, contrast, typography, whitespace and composition to deliver a message with maximum effectiveness. Quality, commercially-viable artwork ensures people are reached on levels beyond simply reading the marketing blurb.
Graphic design is the art of making graphics to inform, educate, persuade, entertain, even deceive.
Graphic design speaks on many levels
More than just pictures and marketing jargon, well-executed graphics communicate in numerous ways. Just as body language and posture says as much or more than spoken word, crafted artwork insinuates ideas and provokes thought in many ways.
COMMAND and KEEP attention
In the era where attention spans are measured in quantum nanoseconds, the timeframe for achieving eyeball radar-lock is extremely short. Too many words, small, blurry text or a rotten, uncompelling design leads to people not caring, not looking and not staying.
Familiar identifying markers
Designers implement visual cues that identify with known culture and industry-specific items. For example, a rock climbing gym may use climb holds as bullet points and ropes for paragraph dividers. A birthday flyer invitation might use a theme of balloons and confetti. Familiar visual markers tap into brain schemas that help the viewer connect with and fill in the blanks of the story you're telling.
Rather than explaining how grandmothers are always known as masters of the kitchen because they've accumulated years of knowledge and recipes, simply saying "Grandma's Homestyle Cookin!" explains the backlog without having to. Even if you're grandma was a terrible cook, you know the food is probably really good.
Graphic design captivates, motivates, persuades and convinces.
Dictating eye movement
Directional indicators strongly influence how people absorb graphics. Techniques such as using angles, text flow, photos with the model looking or gesturing towards something, etc., allows a visual to be consumed in a particular, prioritized order. Successful designs route eyeballs on a flowing journey from the main headline, through secondary and tertiary content, all the way to the call to action.
Audience & demographic targeting
The process of identifying your intended audience happens early on in the design process. Age, gender, race, Earth location, income bracket, subculture etc., must be taken into account before any artwork begins. Knowing who to target is paramount to successful customer acquisition.
Brain hardware compatibility
Earth contains 7.2 billion of us, none of whom perceive things in quite the same way. Design that appeals to the largest percentage of your audience ensures your advertising dollars pay off. Upbringing, personal tastes, political and religious stance -- a few of many reasons that influence behavior and persons response to graphics.
If a picture speaks a thousand words, a great graphic speaks bazillions.
Evolution of graphic design
Like fashion, boy bands and Olympic records, the graphic design field is constantly on the upswing. Three primary drivers fuel the neverending quest for better artwork: competition, demand and technology.
Competition is the granddaddy motivator driving changes to the industry. Businesses are always out to edge each other out, driving up the stakes. Its a 'you scratch my back with razor claws and I'll scratch yours' situation, and the cycle goes round and round.
Consumer demand influences content providers to develop faster, more efficient, higher-fidelity means of delivery. In the early internet days, the overwhelming demand for adult content gave rise to today's typical video streaming, ease of searching, saving files and browsing privately.
Computing power doubles weekly and design software becomes more
monopolized powerful and accessible. Printing technology yeilds higher resolution printing and better color accuracy. HDTV screens will be 1080millionP by the time my kids are driving.
Design fads go in and out of style like pop singers and Nike's.
Comparing graphics over time
I pulled these examples from my vintage graphic design collection to better illustrate the evolution of design.
1970s graphics quality & style
1980s graphics quality & style
2000s graphics quality & style
Modern graphic design provides near limitless printing options.
Brand identity is like the clothes your business wears
And your graphics are the clothes.
Brand identity is essentially the way people identify with and feel about your business. People choose one thing over another based largely on how it makes them feel. (Price is a different article...) Emotional connections are made with brands people trust and love. Clothing brands, toothpaste & shampoo, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. People stay committed to the brands they love and overwhelmingly recommend them to others.
Projecting a confident brand identity begins with your graphics. Fuzzy, low-res JPG logos are not going to fly for printing billboards or running national-level ads. Quality graphic art breeds effective brand collateral.
Great graphics are the backbone of a solid brand identity.
Great graphics insinuate great brands
As potential customers shop, effective branding shows people what to expect. Well-executed graphic design is transparent -- people don't say "ooh, look at these font and color choices" when consuming your visuals. Done correctly, graphic design sends signals professionalism, confidence, and an air of built in swagger.
Great branding makes happier employees
Picture this: your young staff members are hanging out with a group of their friends. Inevitably, talk of jobs and bosses come up. One friend says "I hate the stupid shirts we have to wear" to which the other friend replies "Really? my job lets me choose which shirt to wear, yesterday I actually wore this same one I'm wearing now." Which response would you rather be associated with your brand?
Impressive graphics and brand identity gives your staff a swagger and confidence. They'll use words like "we" when they tell everyone how great you are. You'll take advantage of happier help, and loads of ever-so-valuable, no-cost word-of-mouth advertising.

Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 26" Tire:
In phoenix the trails are hardpack mixed with technical sections of jagged rocks. Traction is fairly good but some is given up for low rolling resistance and low profile tread. This tire is much faster than my previous specialized captains. Cornering is confident as well.

Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 26" Tire:
I am currently running the 2.2" version, front only. I've paired it with an AKA TNT in the rear. It measures a true 2.2" nob to nob. It is one of my favorite tires I've put on my bike. Conditions I've ridden it in have been dry and loose. Tire hooks up so well, but still rolls great. I can't recommend this tire enough.

These tires work great on my XC rig. The only complaint i have about the tires is that they didnt seem to last very long.
TNT design = thicker sidewall which is fantastic. THe thicker sidewall does make installlation difficult and may require tire levers. Over all this is a great tire!

RYAN VREDE writes that Pierre Spies and Juan Smith's selection in the loose trio necessitates the inclusion of Deon Stegmann.
Spies, consistently good in the Super 14, failed to replicate that form at Test level in 2010. However, coach Peter de Villiers remained unfailingly loyal to him and is fully expected to name him as his starting No 8 for their tour opening Test against Ireland on Saturday.
Spies, in five Tests in the northern hemisphere, has never recovered from his first – a nightmare display against Ireland in 2006. The Heathrow international arrivals hall seems to sap his power, rendering him a relative passenger. That he arrived this time with a fractured confidence after an indifferent Test season doesn't aid his cause.
Spies is at his most potent when part of the game plan is geared towards engineering attacking opportunities in space for him. Admittedly, part of his failings can be attributed to the team's inability to do this consistently. But Spies must (and would have given the high standard he expects of himself) take the bulk of the responsibility for his relative attacking impotency.
Equally he needs to assert himself more defensively. It continues to a personal point of frustration that none of his coaches have adequately taught him good tackle technique because a player with his upper body strength has the potential to be deployed as a defensive weapon, dominating tackle situations and whereby creating opportunities for turnovers. At present he is no more an a bulky obstruction.
Smith's value cannot be overstated and was in full evidence upon his return to the Springboks' back row for the home leg of the Tri-Nations. He is a banker at the gain line and defends with brutality that makes you cringe. His performance in those facets of play will be decisive to how the Springboks fare on tour.
However, balance is key in the back row, and with Spies and Smith tasked with making metres and blunting Ireland at the collisions (as well as the secondary roles as lineout jumpers), it is essential that the Springboks start with a specialist openside flank. Stegmann has the qualities that complement the aforementioned duo.
Certainly there is the legitimate concern that Stegmann is not match fit, having missed the bulk of the Currie Cup through injury. However, injuries and the perplexing omission of Francois Louw (he would have been my pick to start at No 6) means Stegmann is the only choice.
It would be a grave tactical error to deploy any of the other options – Ryan Kankowski, Keegan Daniel or Willem Alberts – there. While all three are undoubtedly gifted, none are as skilled at slowing the recycle or stealing the ball as Stegmann is. A player of this ilk has been at the heart of most defensively sound sides, allowing the line to set by ensuring that the ball emerges from the ruck slowly. In addition, teams often profit from turnovers created by these men.
Stegmann won't offer the Springboks an additional potential metre maker with ball in hand, but they have an enough of those for him not to be a liability in this regard. Neither is he going to reverse anyone in contact, but again, there are those equipped to do so.
He has allowed Spies to play a looser role at the Bulls, South Africa's most successful franchise, who've consistently deployed a specialist openside flank in the last four years (Wikus van Heerden preceded Stegmann in the role). He would now provide the same opportunities for him with the Springboks, and given that the forecast is for clear skies over the revamped Lansdowne Road, Spies could be a factor.
Balance is essential when constructing the back row, and it is an area where the Springboks' coaching staff have consistently failed this season, following the premature axing of Louw. They cannot make that mistake again. Stegmann's time is now.

|Dr. McCarthy marks 30 years at ACH
All Children's Hospital extends warm 30th anniversary wishes to neonatologist Jeane McCarthy, Ph.D., M.D.
Dr. McCarthy joined the staff of the fledgling ACH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in 1977 after completing a fellowship in neonatology at the University of Miami. She came to ACH with a master's degree in physiology and a post-doctoral fellowship and Ph.D. in pharmacology in addition to her medical degree.
In 1981 Dr. McCarthy founded the Institutional Review Board at ACH and served as its first chair. Four years later she founded and chaired the ACH Ethics Committee. These distinct programs, one focused on the science and one on the social aspects of medicine, reflect her longtime efforts to improve children's health both in the NICU and beyond the Hospital's walls.
Over the past three decades, Dr. McCarthy has been very active in community efforts that focus on children's health and well-being, including Healthy Start, Child Protection Team, Operation PAR and March of Dimes.

Marysville teen organizing Relay for Life fundraiser
Marysville student is organizing fundraising event for her community
Genna Martin / The Herald

Genna Martin / The Herald
Kayla Dowd, 16, a junior at the International School of Communications at Marysville Getchell High School, is the volunteer public relations organizer for the upcoming Marysville-Tulalip Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The event will be held the last weekend of June.
Marysville Getchell High School junior Kayla Dowd is one of the hundreds of people planning the Marysville-Tulalip event and those elsewhere.
Kayla, 16, is the public relations chairwoman for the relay. As a student in the International School of Communications at Marysville Getchell, Kayla hopes to use some of her new-found writing and speaking skills to let people know about the fundraiser.
The Marysville-Tulalip Relay for Life, like all the other relays, is an overnight event during which teams of people take turns walking or running laps around the field. Each team keeps a member on the track at all times. Relay for Life celebrates those who have survived cancer, helps people whose loved ones have died from cancer, raises money for cancer research and encourages people to fight cancer in their own lives, Kayla said.
Last year, the Marysville-Tulalip relay had 50 teams, honored 100 survivors and raised about $155,000. This year, organizers have set a goal to honor 150 survivors, involve 80 teams and raise $200,000.
"I think we can do it," Kayla said. "Interest is growing each year. I'm involved because I'm one of those people whose life has been touched by cancer."
A few years ago, Kayla lost her maternal great-grandmother to cervical cancer. Then her grandfather, Pat Dowd, 67, of Smokey Point, was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer.
"He overcame that, but two months ago we learned that my grandpa has brain cancer. Recently we found out that his tumor has gotten a little smaller," she said. "So, this has been a journey of ups and downs for my family. Grandpa is so dear to my heart. He is a go-getter and a role model for me. The money we raise at this remarkable event can help keep alive mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters, brothers and friends."
Kayla leads her own Relay for Life team of elementary school-age students, who raised $1,200 last year. When not working on fundraising, Kayla spends Tuesdays after school helping at the food bank in Marysville. She hopes to attend Washington State University and would like to study to be a nurse.
Raising awareness about cancer research in the state and Cancer Society services to cancer patients is big part of her job, Kayla said.
And Kayla's just right for the task, said Kristin Banfield, the chairwoman of the Marysville-Tulalip Relay for Life. In her day job, Banfield is the public information officer for the city of Arlington.
"It's really exciting to see a young woman, a teenager, stepping up in her community," Banfield said. "This is a great experience for Kayla and we're already getting a lot of good work out of her."
Kayla said she is happy to help with Relay for Life.
"It's a worthwhile thing, because everywhere you look, there is cancer," Kayla said.

BEST: Blake Lively is filling Sarah Jessica Parker's designer heels to perfection. The Gossip Girl hit the amfAR New York Gala dressed to thrill in a stunning Alexander McQueen strapless gown, which featured an attention-grabbing pattern. Finishing the luscious look off with Lorraine Schwartz bling, Blake scored herself one of the best looks of the week.
BEST: Teresa Palmer got her put herself on the fashion map at the Los Angeles premiere of I Am Number Four, rocking an uber-sexy Emilio Pucci dress, which featured a startlingly high slit. Paired with Christian Louboutins and a black clutch.
WORST: Leona Lewis has been upping the shock factor on the red carpet as of late, following up her "lippy" Bieber fashion flop with another equally bad look. The Brit beauty wore a dress (seemingly from the same designer) to the Essence Black Women in Music Celebration in Los Angeles which featured a yellow bow adornment over her assets.
BEST: Katie Cassidy look red hot at the Candy Ice Pre-Grammy Affair for Breast Cancer in a ruffled front ASOS pencil dress.

BEST: Kim Kardashian hit the Prince show in NYC, showing off her covetable curves in an attention-grabbing skintight stunner and Christian Louboutin steel-toed heels, while the artist himself looked like he raided his girlfriend's closet, wearing high heels, flared leggings, a fitted blazer and a red silk blouse.

So i recently have been enjoying the music of Steve Vai, Orionthi, 80s heavy metal hair bands...You know the works!
This is an odd thing for me...I usually stick to more alternative bluesy bands or more rock bands like the killers.
In my ridiculous shredder kick, i decided to buy a wah pedal. Picked it up for 80 bucks easy...I hate it.
its a regular cry baby wah pedal...Nothing special. Its pathetic! You get a massive volume jump, a click and no indicator light the damn thing is on! wtf?!?!?
not to mention it muddies up my tone in standby. I was like EFFF that....
Ripped the thing appart yesterday. installed a blue indicator, true bypass switch...
Took care of the main issues for sure, but i already modded it once, what else can i do?
I'd love some ideas! toss em my way i'll be your best friend.

text: So, I went to play the NEW Iroquois layout with expectations of a few new holes, but the base of the course being pretty much the same. Boy was I ever wrong. This new design is nothing short of awesome. I know that they are still working on things and that some of the basket placements are temps, but I had a great time. While I was not pleased with my score of a 59I cannot say enough how much I love this course. If you have not played the new layout yet, make it a point to get out there. (Make sure you have someone with you that has played it because right now still could be difficult to navigate.)

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, today held a hearing on addressing America's infrastructure challenges. The hearing focused on policies to strengthen the country's aging infrastructure while boosting the economy and promoting the long-term competitiveness of American businesses. According to a recent analysis, America's infrastructure has fallen in rank from 6th in the world to 25th in just the past 5 years. Klobuchar invited former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, co-chair of Building America's Future, to testify at the hearing.
"Our 21st century economy demands a 21st century infrastructure that helps our businesses to export, innovate and get their goods to market," said Klobuchar. "We must commit to rebuilding our nation's aging infrastructure in a way that boosts our economy and lays the foundation for long-term growth and competitiveness."
"Infrastructure is an economic driver and has the added benefit of creating long-term quality jobs that can't be outsourced. It improves the quality of our lives and enhances our economic competitiveness. There is no better time to invest in America's future," said Gov. Rendell.
Aging transportation infrastructure is expected to increase the cost of doing business in America by an estimated $430 billion in the next decade, Klobuchar said, and she called for policies that ensure our nation's infrastructure is safe, strong and efficient.
In 2011, Klobuchar introduced the Rebuild America Jobs Act, which would have provided $50 billion for infrastructure projects, and create a national infrastructure bank to provide public-private financing for transportation, water, and energy projects. In the aftermath of the Minneapolis I-35W bridge collapse in August 2007, Klobuchar worked with other members of the Minnesota delegation to swiftly secure more than $250 million to build a new bridge that opened ahead-of-schedule in September 2008. Klobuchar cited this collaboration as a model for putting politics aside to boost safety and efficiency.

Creamsicle (pictured right)
Selecting a veterinarian can be a daunting process for some. From convenience and price to competency and compassion, there are a number of factors that you may consider when deciding on a doctor for your pet.
Barbara Glover had many reasons to select the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH) as her veterinary practice of choice. She has been an ASPCA adopter and a volunteer for more than 10 years. She has been coming to the ASPCA hospital since 2006 because she trusts the doctors and staff to provide the best care for her special-needs animals.
In 2008, Barbara's cat Leo had already received treatment for hyperthyroidism and was several months into treatment for small cell lymphoma when Barbara learned that Jazz, the love of her life, had cancer. She began a rigorous course of chemotherapy treatments for him, but knew that it was time to say goodbye a few months later when his mass continued to grow. Barbara says that when the time had come for Jazz, everyone at the ASPCA was so wonderful and so compassionate that saying goodbye to Jazz was one of the most memorable and touching experiences she ever had at the hospital.
Dr. Janice Fenichel, who has been treating Barbara's cats for years, says Barbara is an amazing client. "She is always right on top of things," Dr. Fenichel notes. "She is very aware and conscientious and follows through." She also says that Barbara will go the extra mile for her pets, but knows when to make the hard call.
Barbara has had kitties with a wide range of special needs, including socialization issues, neurological conditions, hip laxity, heart conditions and blindness. Her current kitties—Serena (born with no eyes), Creamsicle (heart disease and a neurological disorder) and Pumpernickel (rear-limb weakness)—all receive buckets of attention from AAH's staff on every visit, and it's one of the reasons that Barbara keeps coming back.
When all is said and done, your choice of veterinarian simply needs to "feel right." Whether it's the way the staff greets you, or the way the nurse carries your pet into the exam room, or even the way the doctor is able to explain something frightening in a reassuring way, your veterinarian should not only be a medical expert, but a trusted partner in the care of your pets.
Looking for a trusted vet? To make an appointment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, please fill out this form or contact us at (646) 259-4080.
Serena and Pumpernickel
Barbara is a true angel for taking special care of these beautiful special-needs kitties!!! What a sweet girl Jasmine is for wanting to collect donations for her!!! I wish everyone could be such animal lovers.
Barbie, You GO!! You Merciful Angel!!! I did your work for 48 years. Now, I am in a wheelchair caring for what will probably be my last sweet, precious group of 5 cats, 3 Argentine doves, one senior cockatiel, 3 senior bunnies, and one handicapped conure parrot. NOT A DAY GOES BY that I am not spending hours begging God to keep me healthy enough, and financially able to care for this, my 'last brood'... that I love SO MUCH. Of this aspect of my life.....I wouldn't change a thing about it if I could do it all over. The return-love has been IMMESURABLE!!!!!!! L-O-V-E To You, Barbara......and SO VERY BLESSED BE, ALWAYS. ........ MESHA CASTEIL
You know they give back as much as I give:) And a shout out to Jasmine for her wonderful note and wish to help with coins in a cup! You're a wonderful girl with a big heart, I'm sure you'll find a way to help lots of needy animals in your lifetime.
I have been taking my kitties to Dr. Patti Gordon, owner of Allcats Healthcare Clinic for 19years. She is truly a partner taking care of my sweet kitties. 8 times she has helped me make hard decisions about treatment and then the ultimate decision of when to say goodbye. She comes to my home when it is the time. She is an amazing clinician, amazing person, compassionate, takes the time, works with me with the costs of care-- I only trust her to care for my kitties. I told her she can't retire. I hope all of us pet parents find a vet they trust completely as I have been fourtunate to have found. It is truly a blessing.
ASPCA Animal Hospital vets are wonderful and loving. Barbara, whom I've known for years, is an amazing person, too. She has taken some challenging, angelic cats into her life and they have given, and continue to give, back over and over again--as does she!

#6 Catawba Doubles Up Baseball 8-4 Using Four Homers in Asheboro
February 9, 2013
ASHEBORO, N.C. - Catawba College, ranked #6 in NCAA II, used four homers on Saturday afternoon to double up Pfeiffer University 8-4 in non-conference baseball action at McCrary Park. Chris Dula blasted a pair of homers as the Indians remain perfect on the year at 6-0. The Falcons remain winless on the year falling to 0-5.
Dula hit his first of the day in the top of the second before the Falcons responded with two in their half taking advantage of a pair of Catawba errors. Aarin Sharpe would pick up the lone RBI in the inning with a fielder's choice as Matt Wade tallied the first run on a balk. Dula blasted off again to straight-away center in the fourth before an Ethan Satterfield infield single to third gave Catawba a 3-2 lead. Catawba would add a two-run blast in the sixth by Danny Parisi while Jon Gray lifted a solo shot to left in the eighth for Pfeiffer.
Cole McGraw and Sharpe would each collect two hits in the loss for Pfeiffer while Satterfield went 3-for-4 for Catawba. Dula, Craig Brooks and Parisi would all have two-hit days as well for the Indians.
Pfeiffer will be back in action at 5:00 p.m. to battle Barton in non-conference action. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.
