Natural rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer that naturally occurs as a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, in the sap of some plants. It is used extensively in many applications and products. It can also be synthesized. The entropy model of rubber was developed in 1934 by Werner Kuhn. The scientific name for the rubber tree commercially used to obtain natural rubber is Hevea brasiliensis.
Other plants containing latex include figs (Ficus elastica), Castilla (Panama rubber tree), euphorbias, lettuce, the common dandelion, Taraxacum kok-saghyz (Russian dandelion), Scorzonera tau-saghyz, and Guayule. Although these have not been major sources of rubber, Germany attempted to use some of these during World War II when it was cut off from rubber supplies. These attempts were later supplanted by the development of synthetic rubber. To distinguish the tree-obtained version of natural rubber from the synthetic version, the term gum rubber is sometimes used.
The para rubber tree initially grew in South America, and the first European to return to Portugal from Brazil with samples of water-repellent rubberized cloth so shocked people that he was brought to court on the charge of witchcraft. When samples of rubber first arrived in England, it was observed by Joseph Priestley, in 1770, that a piece of the material was extremely good for rubbing out pencil marks on paper, hence the name "rubber".
South America remained the main source of what limited amount of latex rubber was consumed during much of the 19th century. However in 1876, Henry Wickham gathered thousands of seeds from Brazil, and these were germinated in Kew Gardens, UK. The seedlings were then sent to Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Indonesia, Singapore and British Malaya. Malaya (now Malaysia) was later to become the biggest producer of rubber. About 100 years ago, the Congo Free State in Africa was also a significant source of natural rubber latex, mostly gathered by forced labor. Liberia and Nigeria also started production of rubber.
In India commercial cultivation of natural rubber was introduced by the British Planters, although the experimental efforts to grow rubber on a commercial scale in India were initiated as early as 1873 at the Botanical Gardens, Kolkata. The first commercial Hevea plantations in India were established at Thattekadu in Kerala in 1902.
Rubber exhibits unique physical and chemical properties. Rubber's stress-strain behavior exhibits the Mullins effect, the Payne effect and is often modeled as hyperelastic. Rubber strain crystallizes.
Owing to the presence of a double bond in each and every repeat unit, natural rubber is sensitive to ozone cracking
In its relaxed state rubber consists of long, coiled-up polymer chains that are interlinked at a few points. Between a pair of links each monomer can rotate freely about its neighbour. This gives each section of chain leeway to assume a large number of geometries, like a very loose rope attached to a pair of fixed points. At room temperature rubber stores enough kinetic energy so that each section of chain oscillates chaotically, like the above piece of rope being shaken violently.
When rubber is stretched the "loose pieces of rope" are taut and thus no longer able to oscillate. Their kinetic energy is given off as excess heat. Therefore, the entropy decreases when going from the relaxed to the stretched state, and it increases during relaxation. This change in entropy can also be explained by the fact that a tight section of chain can fold in fewer ways (W) than a loose section of chain, at a given temperature (nb. entropy is defined as S=k*ln(W)). Relaxation of a stretched rubber band is thus driven by an increase in entropy, and the force experienced is not electrostatic, rather it is a result of the thermal energy of the material being converted to kinetic energy. Rubber relaxation is endothermic, and for this reason the force exerted by a stretched piece of rubber increases with temperature (metals, for example, become softer as temperature increases). The material undergoes adiabatic cooling during contraction. This property of rubber can easily be verified by holding a stretched rubber band to your lips and relaxing it.
Stretching of a rubber band is in some ways equivalent to the compression of an ideal gas, and relaxation is equivalent to its expansion. Note that a compressed gas also exhibits "elastic" properties, for instance inside an inflated car tire. The fact that stretching is equivalent to compression may seem somewhat counter-intuitive, but it makes sense if rubber is viewed as a one-dimensional gas. Stretching reduces the "space" available to each section of chain.
Vulcanization of rubber creates more disulfide bonds between chains so it makes each free section of chain shorter. The result is that the chains tighten more quickly for a given length of strain. This increases the elastic force constant and makes rubber harder and less extendable.
When cooled below the glass transition temperature, the quasi-fluid chain segments "freeze" into fixed geometries and the rubber abruptly loses its elastic properties, though the process is reversible. This is a property it shares with most elastomers. At very cold temperatures rubber is actually rather brittle; it will break into shards when struck or stretched. This critical temperature is the reason that winter tires use a softer version of rubber than normal tires. The failing rubber o-ring seals that contributed to the cause of the Challenger disaster were thought to have cooled below their critical temperature. The disaster happened on an unusually cold day.
Rubber latex is extracted from Rubber trees. The economic life period of rubber trees in plantations is around 32 years – 7 years of immature phase and about 25 years of productive phase.
The soil requirement of the plant is generally well-drained weathered soil consisting of laterite, lateritic types, sedimentary types, nonlateritic red or alluvial soils.
The climatic conditions for optimum growth of Rubber tree consist of (a) Rainfall of around 250 cm evenly distributed without any marked dry season and with at least 100 rainy days per annum (b) Temperature range of about 20°C to 34°C with a monthly mean of 25°C to 28°C (c) High atmospheric humidity of around 80% (d) Bright sunshine amounting to about 2000 hours per annum at the rate of 6 hours per day throughout the year and (e) Absence of strong winds.
Many high-yielding clones have been developed for commercial planting. These clones yield more than 1,500 kilograms of dry Rubber per hectare (or, over 4 tons per acre), per annum, when grown under ideal conditions.
In places like Kerala, where coconuts are in abundance, the shell of half a coconut is used as the collection container for the latex. The shells are attached to the tree via a short sharp stick and the latex drips down into it overnight. This usually produces latex up to a level of half to three quarters of the shell.
The latex can be either collected in its liquid state, in which case ammonia solution can be added to the collecting cup prior to tapping in order to prevent natural coagulation, or it can be left in the field to coagulate into a cup lump.
Latex is generally processed into either latex concentrate for manufacture of dipped goods or it can be coagulated under controlled, clean conditions using formic acid. The coagulated latex can then be processed into the higher grade technically specified block rubbers such as TSR3L or TSRCV or used to produce Ribbed Smoke Sheet grades.
Naturally coagulated rubber (cup lump) is used in the manufacture of TSR10 and TSR20 grade rubbers. The processing of the rubber for these grades is basically a size reduction and cleaning process in order to remove contamination and prepare the material for the final stage drying.
The dried material is then baled and palletized for shipment.
The use of rubber is widespread, ranging from household to industrial products, entering the production stream at the intermediate stage or as final products. Tires and tubes are the largest consumers of rubber, accounting for around 56% total consumption in 2005. The remaining 44% are taken up by the general rubber goods (GRG) sector, which includes all products except tires and tubes.
Other significant uses of rubber are door and window profiles, hoses, belts, matting, flooring and dampeners (anti-vibration mounts) for the automotive industry in what is known as the "under the bonnet" products. Gloves (medical, household and industrial) are also large consumers of rubber and toy balloons, although the type of rubber used is that of the concentrated latex. Significant tonnage of rubber is used as adhesives in many manufacturing industries and products, although the two most noticeable are the paper and the carpet industry. Rubber is also commonly used to make rubber bands and pencil erasers.
Additionally, rubber produced as a fiber sometimes called elastic, has significant value for use in the textile industry because of its excellent elongation and recovery properties. For these purposes, manufactured rubber fiber is made as either an extruded round fiber or rectangular fibers that are cut into strips from extruded film. Because of its low dye acceptance, feel and appearance, the rubber fiber is either covered by yarn of another fiber or directly woven with other yarns into the fabric. In the early 1900's, for example, rubber yarns were used in foundation garments. While rubber is still used in textile manufacturing, its low tenacity limits its use in lightweight garments because latex lacks resistance to oxidizing agents and is damaged by aging, sunlight, oil, and perspiration. Seeking a way to address these shortcomings, the textile industry has turned to Neoprene (polymer form of Chloroprene), a type of synthetic rubber as well as another more commonly used elastomer fiber, spandex (also known as elastane), because of their superiority to rubber in both strength and durability.
Natural rubber is often vulcanized, a process by which the rubber is heated and sulfur, peroxide or bisphenol are added to improve resilience and elasticity, and to prevent it from perishing. Vulcanization greatly improved the durability and utility of rubber from the 1830s on. The successful development of vulcanization is most closely associated with Charles Goodyear. Carbon black is often used as an additive to rubber to improve its strength, especially in vehicle tires.
Some people have a serious latex allergy, and exposure to certain natural rubber latex products such as latex gloves can cause anaphylactic shock. Guayule latex is hypoallergenic and is being researched as a substitute to the allergy-inducing Hevea latexes.
Some allergic reactions are not from the latex but from residues of other ingredients used to process the latex into clothing, gloves, foam, etc. These allergies are usually referred to as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS).

In MetaClass Redesign (by blackdrag) I tried to show some ideas of how such a redisgn might look like and what the advantages and disadvantages might be.
In this part I want to show a more detailed version of one idea. that is a implementation based MetaClass is in front and the user can add custom behaviors. This limits the basic MetaClass interface to mere adminisatrative methods
So the central point is addMOP, which allows to customize the method invocation for example. Besides this there are some methods for mutating the MetaClass (adding properties and such), a standard listener interface that allows to react to additions of properties for example. The implementation of this is not relevant for the user as it is thought as specification. The implementation depends on the Grovy runtime and might differ from other runtimes if there are ever such runtimes.
Usage of groovy.lang.MetaClass
If the user wants to influence themethod invocation process for example, then he has to implement the MetaClassObjectProtokoll interface, which I will show later. In this section I want to show how to create a per instance MetaClass and how to use it.
changing a MetaClass in the registry
So the one-line codebecomes a more complex two-line code, unless we decide to change MetaClassRegistry to make that by itself.
creating and changing a per instance MetaClass
The old code was like this:
The new code will look like this:
So the change here is minimal. The code to create a per instance MetaClass is hidden by the implementation and might differ. This of course means that the class GroovyObjectSupport, which is part of groovy.lang has implementation knowledge inside. So a implementator must change this class to his version of the runtime.
Using the Listener to MetaClass changes
(add interface)

Enjoy marine life, shopping and food in White Rock

A couple enjoy the view on the beach walk promenade in White Rock.

Restaurants line Marine Drive in White Rock.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Boaters take to the water just off the beach in White Rock.
A 486-ton white boulder on the beach is a dead giveaway here.
It is part of the lore, for sure, but tourists would flock to the city by the sea even without the big glacier hunk.
Guano from shellfish-eating seabirds covered the rock back when it was a beacon for sailors. Now it's a target of graffiti, kept white by monthly coats of white paint by the city parks department.
Only five miles from the border on Semiahmoo Bay, White Rock is a popular coastal weekend getaway for Canadians and Americans.
The tidal pools are a great place to see marine life up close and dip your cooped-up toes in the water.
You can walk over and under the 1,500-foot pier, crab, picnic, kayak, build sand castles, shop, and eat fish & chips for three meals a day.
Walking along the promenade are couples holding hands who probably never hold hands. There's something about the sea air and seeing others hold hands that causes those fingers to snuggle together.
Adding to the romance is, of all things, a train that blows by the tracks that run alongside the promenade. Who knew a freight train could be so fascinating? Maybe because it's so close and set against the backdrop of a shining sea and snow-capped mountains.
The promenade is also a popular strip for joggers amped by the ocean air. Bikes and skateboards are not permitted.
The seaside stretch connects White Rock's two main areas, West Beach and East Beach. West Beach has the rock, pier, visitor center and museum. The ordinary tourist might not make any distinction and see it more as one very long beach.
In the busy season, arrive early to snag a parking space by the sea. Public parking is free until 10 a.m. They don't start ticketing at 10:01, but you still might not want to chance it.
Across from the beaches is a continuous strip that goes something like this: Fish & chips. Ice cream. Fish & chips. Fish & chips. Sushi. Pizza. Ice cream. Wings. Fish & chips. Oysters. Gelato. Souvenirs. Sushi. Ice cream. Fish & chips.
Outdoor cafes and roof-top tables are a way to drink in the sights. Finer dining spots include the Boat House, which is open year-round.
There are free trolley rides around the beaches, nearby galleries and the city center, which is about eight blocks from the water. The downtown has stores, restaurants and a Sunday farmers market that's a mecca of food and entertainment.
Staying overnight in White Rock is a breeze. Choose from B&Bs, hotels, inns, vacation rentals and RV parks.
Leave the dog at home. Or in the room.
Dogs are not allowed on the pier, promenade or beach.
Canadians love dogs. Many places in Canada are dog-friendly to the point of ultra-dog-friendly. This is not one of those places -- at least in the beach areas.
Signs are posted everywhere, and if you check out the reviews online you will see numerous complaints from people who visited White Rock with their dogs only to be sent home with their tails between their legs.
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; firstname.lastname@example.com.
White Rock Farmers Market, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays until Oct. 13, Miramar Plaza in the city center.
The Spirit of the Sea Festival is from 9 a.m. until after dark Aug. 4 and 5. The festival has a torchlight parade, street hockey, paddle boarding, waiter's race, car show, drum circle, mural painting for kids, salmon bake, waterfront market and fire dancing. For more information, go to http://spiritofthesea.ca.
For more information about White Rock, go to www.inwhiterock.com and www.whiterockonline.com.
Getting there
After the Blaine border crossing continue on BC 99 N. Take Exit 2 and follow the signs west to White Rock.
Four things to remember
- Dogs are not allowed on the beach, pier and promenade.
- Public parking is free until 10 a.m.
- You're in Canada, think metric: Gas is in liters and road signs are in kilometers.
- Check your cellphone carrier about data roaming fees before you go. Otherwise your smartphone bill could cost you more than your vacation tab.

AquaSox's clubhouse manager? Usually a Hunter brother
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Brothers Dan (left) and David Hunter pose for a photo inside the AquaSox clubhouse Saturday night.

Dan Hunter gave his brother the keys to the Everett AquaSox clubhouse.
Thanks to brothers Dan and Dave, the Hunters have supplied the clubhouse manager for the AquaSox seven of the past eight seasons. Dan, 27, held the position from 2006-08 and, after a Hunter-less year in 2009, Dave, 21, took over in 2010 and has been running the clubhouse ever since.
"It's a lot of fun," Dave said. "You get to meet a lot of cool guys and then a lot of them play in the majors. You might get a different opinion from me at 2 a.m. when I'm going home, but it's a lot of fun. I enjoy it."
The clubhouse manager is one of the first people to arrive at Everett Memorial Stadium on game days -- and some off days -- and is the last person to leave. Dave is responsible for making sure everything runs smoothly for the players and coaches.
"I give out all the equipment, jerseys and pants," Dave said. "The catchers' gear, bats and then I wash all the laundry after the game. I also fold towels and basically do whatever these guys need me to do for them."
Both brothers had a similar path to being clubbie. Dan started working for the Frogs as a vendor in 2003. He moved to batboy the next season and was a fill-in batboy in 2005 while working another job. When he heard the clubhouse position was going to be vacated in 2006, he called people he knew at the AquaSox and was able to get an interview and, ultimately, the job.
Dan said his favorite part of the job was hanging out with longtime AquaSox trainer Spyder Webb and seeing some of the Frogs he took care of -- including Doug Fister, Adam Jones and the late Greg Halman -- make it to the big leagues.
"It's kind of fun to see players that came through the system that have made it to the big leagues," Dan said. "Every now and then I'll see a player get called up and remember that I had him in Everett."
"Dan was one of our batboys and was fun to be around," said Webb, who oversees the clubbie and batboys. "He seemed, to me, to be an obvious choice to move up in to the clubhouse position. Adversity did not frazzle him which is a tremendous attribute for this position because everything that we have planned changes in seconds up here."
The second-oldest of seven Hunter children, Dan held the clubbie position for three years. In his final season in Everett, one of his batboys was a familiar face: his younger brother Dave.
Dave was 17 years old when Dan left the Frogs, and spent one more year as a batboy while Justin Hopper took over clubhouse duties. Hopper left after one season and, now that he was 18, Dave was chosen as his replacement.
"He went the same batboy world," Webb said. "Did a great job down there. When Dan took off and he was old enough to come up here and start doing this position it was a natural fit because he had seen his brother do the job. He has all of the same attributes of his brother."
Both Hopper and Dan helped show Dave the ropes and helped him during his first season as clubhouse manager. Dan came to his younger brother's first game as clubbie, the annual Everett Cup between the Frogs and Everett Merchants, just to walk him through how he did things and answer any questions.
"My brother just kind of gave me some basic tips and just told me what he did," Dave said.
Currently in his fourth year as clubbie -- one more year than his older brother Dan -- Dave also enjoys watching his former players move up the Mariners' farm system. Dave has spent time with Nick Franklin -- while he was a batboy -- as well as Stephen Pryor, Yoervis Medina and Mike Zunino.
Pat Callaghan, who has been a batboy for three of Dave's four years as clubbie, thinks Dave is an invaluable member of the AquaSox.
"He's really important. Everyone's always looking for him and we can never find him," Callaghan said. "He makes it look really easy. He's constantly doing something. You don't see him sitting down or taking breaks. He's getting towels or food or doing laundry or getting stuff for players. He works his butt off."
Callaghan's also noticed another impressive skill that Dave boasts.
"He's got magical beard growing power," Callaghan said with a laugh.
While Dave handles duties at Everett Memorial Stadium, Dan has done what many AquaSox players hope to do: make it to the big leagues. He currently works in the visiting clubhouse at Safeco Field, doing some familiar work.
"It's a lot like what I did up in Everett," Dan said. "The big thing is the laundry. Just washing the uniforms after the game and getting that stuff packed. We'll do everything from stocking fridges to cleaning shoes. It's pretty similar to Everett just on a bigger scale."
Dan, who has another job remodeling houses when the M's are out of town, went to the baseball's winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn. in early December to apply for jobs with major and minor League teams. He met Ted Walsh, who is in charge of the visiting clubhouse at Safeco Field, and wound up working for his hometown team, making the jump from Class A to the majors.
"It was kind of good timing," said Dan, who is getting married in September.
Once again, Dave, who has lived with Dan the past three years, has followed in Dan's footsteps, scoring a part-time job working with his brother in the visiting clubhouse at Safeco Field.
"It's interesting to see both the major leagues and (Class) A ball. It's a little bit different," Dave said. "Just the amount of things we do for them."
Dave said this will likely be his final season in the clubhouse at Everett Memorial Stadium. He is moving to Seattle at the end of the season and wants to find a job down there, perhaps again with his brother at Safeco Field.
Webb had high praise for the Hunter boys during their time at Everett.
"Their mom and dad just did the greatest job you can do," Webb said. "Anybody would be very happy to claim them as their kids. It's been a privilege for me to work with both of those guys."
Early in his clubbie career, Dan received the nickname "Lieutenant Dan" from Webb, in honor of the character from the movie "Forrest Gump." Once Dave became clubbie, Webb found a moniker for him too.
"With David, he couldn't be Lieutenant David because he was (just) a batboy ... so he had to be a private," Webb said. "You have to work your way up. Even though he has moved to Lieutenant Dan's position he's still a private. Private Dave. It's simply a name of love from me."
Like Dave, Webb, who has been a trainer for the Seattle Mariners' Northwest League affiliate for 35 seasons, is also retiring at the end of the season. He said the fact that Dave is leaving as well wasn't a coincidence.
"That's why I'm retiring. He said he was going so I had to go," Webb said. "There are no more Hunters ready to take this position and my current batboys -- who are the best ever -- both are not returning so the whole world may collapse here.
"I had to go because really, the only reason I do a good job is because of Private, and Lieutenant before him, and (the batboys). They really make the world go here."
All hope is not lost. With seven children the Hunter family still could produce another clubbie or two before it's all said and done.
Although, it might be awhile.
"The next youngest Hunter boy (Erik) that could take over just turned nine, so he's going to be a while out," Dave said.
Erik Hunter already has one important Frog on his side.
"You know, I guess if we wanted to try a nine-year old, he would be my vote to be the first nine-year old to do this position," Webb said. "Maybe in a few years the next trainer and staff here will have another Hunter to run the show."

October is the month when many think pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. Southern Ohio Medical Center perpetuated that line of thought with their 'Paint It Pink' campaign hosting a series of events and activities during the course of the month.
"This originated four years ago. We had it at the Cancer Center in April and it was started by the Maults, who lost their mother to breast cancer. I got involved and said this would be even more successful if we move it to October and get really pink about it," Wendi Waugh of SOMC said.
Saturday's 5k race was a clear example of the message being sent by those wearing pink.
"We had 207 people register and this is only our second year and that is amazing. This whole campaign has been awesome," Waugh said.
According to Waugh, 7,000 'Paint It Pink' T-shirts were sold this year up 2,000 from last year's T-Shirt sales.
"This year, I could not keep them, I could have sold more which says a lot about the amount of support that we get from this community," Waugh said.
Waugh said the proceeds raised from the T-shirt sales are not exclusively for breast cancer.
"I want to stress that this fundraiser is the only fundraiser we do all year long for the Compassion Fund and it does not just benefit breast cancer survivors. It benefits all breast cancer patients under current treatment," said.
Lacosta Craig of Portsmouth was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. She is now a breast cancer survivor.
Craig participated in the 'Paint It Pink' 5K, along with her husband Jeff Craig, and daughters Lacyra and Layla Craig, and Julie and Summer Rouse.
"I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. It took one year and three months to complete, so I am a two-year survivor. It just lifts my spirits up to know that people care," Craig said.
Craig said her experience has made her more appreciative of life and spending time with her family.
Carla Womack said she participated in the Paint It Pink 5k in memory of her mother.
"I walked for my mother who died of breast cancer at the age of 34. My sister Felicia, and her daughter Tamara participated as well. This year I did not come in last," Womack said.
The Paint It Pink campaign continued throughout the afternoon with Pink Zumbathon in Tracy Park and the Party in the Park.
According to Waugh, the Ceremonial Pink March which showcases breast cancer was canceled this year due to rain and cool temperatures.

Thing is, Java is enabled on my computer(s) but disabled in all of my browsers - that's been the setup for many months now.
I liked the promise of Java, once upon a time. But, in practice, it's fallen terribly short of the mark in so many ways. It does have some utility in certain server environments, though.

The SE Big Ripper is one of the biggest and baddest BMX bikes on the block. The Big Ripper was designed for those that may be too tall for a 20" or those that just want a big bike. Hit the streets hard with the Big Ripper; then crush some trails on the way home. The 6061 Aluminum Floval tubing and looptail rear end make this bike capable of hitting gnarly trails or the skate park. You may notice an influx of attention while riding the Big Ripper which is likely due to the new chrome finish, making this not only the biggest but the most blingin' BMX bike around.

Comments about Se Bikes Big Ripper 29Er BMX Bike 2014:
I grew up in the 80's and loved BMX. As I got older, taller and fatter I had to ride mountain bikes. Thats all there was!!! Then I found the Big Ripper. You want to talk about fun... I feel like a kid again (I'm 43). On pavement it rules. This thing hauls. I can't wait to get home after work and cruise around the neighborhood. On intermediate dirt trails I would suggest a better gripping tire, but that's it. Get one.

The Ph.D. in Computer Science provides students with an educational and research environment that fosters personal and intellectual growth, flourishes academic goals and develops career paths through necessary training with emerging technologies. The program promotes research, discovery and integration, and is designed for students interested in becoming professional scholars, college and university teachers or independent research workers in private, industrial or government research institutions.
|M.A. and M.S.: Official transcript(s), goal statement, resume and three letters of recommendation. A student entering the program must have the core components of an undergraduate computer science curriculum. Students are required to have successfully completed coursework equivalent to Computer Science I - Programming and Problem Solving (CS 23021), Discrete Structures (CS 23022), Computer Science II - Data Structures and Abstraction (CS 33001), Operating Systems (CS 35211), Computer Architecture (CS 35101), and Design and Analysis of Algorithms (CS 46101). In mathematics, they are required to have successfully completed coursework equivalent to Calculus I (Math 12002), Calculus II (Math 12003), and Linear Algebra (Math 21001).
Ph.D.: Admission into the doctoral program also requires a master's degree in computer science (or closely related field) and passing the preliminary examination in a timely manner
|M.S. and M.A.: The master's program requires a total of 32 graduate-level credit hours in computer science (courses outside computer science must be approved by the advisor and graduate coordinator).
Candidates for the Master of Science with a non-thesis option must successfully complete 32 credit hours of graduate courses in CS excluding Research (CS 69098) and including 2 credit hours of Master s Seminar (CS 69191) that incorporates a project and a final examination on the project.

Men and Women's Cross Country finish the UNC Pembroke Invite with Top-5 Finishes
September 5, 2009
LUMBERTON, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Cross Country teams were in action early Saturday morning at Luther Britt Park in the UNC-Pembroke Invitational. The mens team finished 5th out of eight teams while the womens team finished in the runner-up spot behind Augusta State.
Pfeiffers men were led by senior Matt Tyndall who finished in 27:58 and 9th place overall. Freshman Will Oliver finished second for Pfeiffer in 29th place with a time of 30:25 in his first career 8k race. Zack Allen crossed the line third for the Falcons with a time of 31:53 while junior Zach Gray ran a personal best 32:32 good for fourth on the team. Grady Gaston was Pfeiffers fifth scorer with a 35:42.
Coach Nolt was pleased with the short-handed teams finish. Everyone stepped up with good races today. I am really impressed with how [Zack] Allen and [Will] Oliver have been improving each week. With Josh [Roberts] and Daniel [Barnhardt] still out, we are going to struggle as a team, but I am very pleased with our individual performances.
On the womens side Magen Abernathy and Lindsey Phillips led the way for the Lady Falcons with 7th and 8th place finishes respectively. Abernathy crossed the line in 25:19, two seconds in front of Phillips.
Vlada Mouravieva finished just outside the top ten with an 11th place finish in 25:34. Kaitlyn Mullis clocked in with a time of 26:16 in the 6k race good for a 17th place finish. Rachel Biggerstaff (27th/28:40), Yasmin Ingram (33th/29:18), and April Hinson (43rd/32:27) rounded out the Lady Falcons finish order.
Coach Nolt was again pleasantly surprised with the teams success. Its been a tough week. Carrie Early and Chelsea Tysinger had been out, and Rebecca [Pigg] and Rachel [Biggerstaff] also went down this week. Biggerstaff was exhibiting flu like symptoms and was unable to practice most of the week. Early, Tysinger, and Pigg will all be back in practice this week and may be ready for next weeks pre-regional meet at Wingate University. Everyone stepped up today knowing that we were shorthanded. It is exciting to be having the success we are in the face of adversity, but we saw today that we still have work to do to be a top team in the region commented Coach Nolt.
Pfeiffers next meet will be next Saturday morning at Wingate. Both teams will get to see many of the southeast region squads at the Pre-Regional meet.

Gallery: Lace Hill: A Living Green Mountain Building for Armenia
Birmingham, Alabama-based Forrest Fulton Architects wanted to avoid designing yet another towering glass structure for the mixed-use development. Instead they chose to create a structure whose form more closely resembled the surrounding hills of Yeravan, located between the Black and Caspian Seas. The hill development proposal is 85,000 sq meters (900,000 sq ft) and incorporates retail and restaurants on the bottom floor, office space on the north side, and a hotel and apartments on the south side, which has great solar access and the best views. Parking and car access is completely underground, so no automobile traffic mars the approach of the sloping hillside, which eventually connects to a open space and park to the west of the structure.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we think it's the perfect time to consider bringing a special, older animal companion into your life. After all, what could be more in the spirit of the season than giving an older adoptable a new home for the holidays? Adopt now, and they'll be all settled in and part of the family by the time you're decorating your tree or lighting the menorah!
As you know, shelters are full of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds and ages, but the older ones are typically the most difficult to place. Yes, puppies and kittens are hard to resist, but senior animals have so much love to give—plus, when you adopt an older pet, you know what you're getting into: They're fully grown, their personalities have developed, and many are already trained. Senior pets can be great matches for senior people and others who enjoy a less active lifestyle.
If you're inspired to give a senior pet a chance, please visit your local shelter soon! And if you've already opened your heart to a golden oldie, tell us about your experience in the comments below.
Want to receive more information on how to help shelter animals?
Sign up to receive our weekly newsletter, ASPCA News Alert - you'll receive important updates on what's going on and how you can make an impact to save animals' lives!
I love that funny, friendly, little dog in his "Adopt Me" vest. What an irresistible little face! I hope lots of people give senior animals a chance. They just need a happy, safe, loving home and they'll do the rest -- love you forever, shine and flourish!
There is no better feeling than adopting a senior dog! We adopted a 9 year old English Bulldog this past January and she is just an absolute joy, we could not love her more! Seniors have so much love to give and they KNOW that you saved them!
Old dogs are the best dogs. :) Cat too! :)
After I lost a Dane, two Shar Pei, and a Papillon-Cavvy mix I thought my toy poodle Angel would like company while I was at work. I wasn't too sure about, but saw a little white poodle,14 years old, who needed meds twice a day. I thought she would never get a home, so I contacted the rescue group and asked if she was alpha because Angel, with all those other dogs thought she was and they let her. She came over for a visit and while the picture looked like she was white, she was apricot, just like my Angel. Friends could not figure out which was which and I have to say I got them mixed up sometimes myself. She was with us till the end when her little heart gave out. Since then I've also lost my Angel and I miss them both terribly. But I know I'll see them again.
Sounds like you need to open your heart and home to another senior. I lost a Cocker at age 9, and 2 kitties (one 18 & one 19). But when I lost my precious Pit Bull at age 15, leaving my 5 year old Chocolate Lab & I alone, he didn't seem to know what to do with himself while I was at work. That was when I decided to foster. We have our 5th foster baby now, and we have taken in (temporarily) another Pit that needed some help. She has been with us now almost 18 months, so she isn't going anywhere. I have the best babies for fostering with, and it is the most gratifying thing I think I have ever done. God bless you for adopting a friend for your Angel.
My senior pet story ia about a 12-year old Siamese named Seti. Seti's owner was sick and ended up in a nursing home but he couldn't take SETI with him. Seti was taken in by the vet to live out his life as an office cat greeting other animals coming in. I took my poodle in for a check-up and ended up taking SETI home too. 6 months later I broke my wrist and required surgery. While I sat in my recliner healing, SETI draped himself down my harm and purred me well. One day I timed him...he purred 3 hours straight! What a blessing to have him for 3 years until he passed " over the rainbow bridge"!
Shortly after I wandered into a local vet's clinic, I met and adopted a 6-year-old long haired yellow cat whose previous owner had to go into a nursing home. As I got to know Ripley, I discovered little things he must have learned from his previous owner, like the fact he loved to "help" with the laundry. When Ripley turned 12, I adopted some young cats to see if it would add some spark to his life. We've been a "herd" for four years now and the younger cats absolutely love their "Grandpa Ripley."
I have three, all special needs. Tess is a 9 year old Bluetick mix, Casey is 10.5, a Pittie mix, and Neo is our newly acquired Lab mix at 9.5. I lost Duke ("Dookums" to my daughters) three weeks ago, on the operating table. Neo doesn't replace him; nothing could. But Duke just made room for us to save another life. What could trump that?
My love of dogs is 100% dedicated to elderly and special needs maltese and pomeranians. I have rescued these for many years. My home is nicknamed the retirement community. I am committed to providing them "Heaven on Earth" until God takes them to Heaven one day. Most have been abused/neglected and from a lifetime of hell in a puppymill. My eldest was blind and 14 years old when she joined me and lived to be 20 yrs 2 mos old. I feel God has blessed me with each elderly/special needs that has been a part of my life. I thank God for allowing me to be their Angel on Earth and there is no doubt, my fur-children have been and currently are - my Angels.

Doing something because Avenged Sevenfold did it?
Comeon, that's so lame!
If Disturbed got invited to do the music for an awesome new game, then that'd be great, but to do it just cos they did?
