Pond Damage & Renovations
Wave Action:
Many ponds are well protected by simply establishing a good sod growth. The most common method of protection where sod is not sufficient is the use of stone rip-rap. Football sized stones or pieces of broken concrete should be placed along the dam or the affected area several feet above and below the water level. This will effectively protect the area. Another method sometimes used is the placement of logs along the eroded area. Logs are staked at either end and held parallel to shore several feet out in the water. The logs will absorb the energy of waves and prevent erosion.
Muskrat Damage:
Muskrats can be discouraged by removing their food source. Cattails and other vegetation form much of this rodent's food. Mechanical or chemical means can be used to rid a pond of vegetation. They may also be driven from the dam area by placing 1/2 cup of creosote or mothballs in holes drilled at three-foot intervals along the face of the dam near the water's edge. The holes should be sealed shut with dirt after the creosote or mothballs have been added. Muskrats can also be removed by trapping during the trapping season. Muskrat trapping has provided spending money as well as fun and education for many.
Seepage and Leaks:
The best way to avoid these problems is to use proper dam construction techniques and avoid building a pond in area with exposed limestone or permeable soils. Pond dams with a well compacted clay core tied into existing clay substrate rarely leak providing burrowing animals are not allowed too penetrate the core. Repair of a leaky dam or pond bottom is often difficult and expensive and requires first draining the pond. A blanket of clay taken nearby or the addition of bentonite to the bottom will seal leaks.
One major cause of dam washout is failure to place anti-seep collars several places along the length of the mechanical spillway. These collars prevent water from following the tube, creating a cavity through the dam and leading to dam failure. Another major cause of washout is improper size or placement of the emergency overflow spillway. An emergency spillway that is too small for the flood water going over it will quickly washout the dam. Placement of the spillway on newly placed and compacted soil may also result in a washout during high water. The emergency spillway should be constructed on undisturbed soil.
Muddy Water:
Turbid water in Iowa ponds many times is the result of cattle wading in the pond. Another cause of turbid water is the presence of carp or bullhead. They should be removed by draining or chemical renovation followed by stocking of the proper species of fish. Planting a larger buffer strip around the pond will also act as a filter and will remove much of the silt.
Shoreline Deepening:
Frequently, many future aquatic vegetation problems can be eliminated during pond construction by deepening shoreline areas. Often this could be done at little or no extra cost if borrow areas for dam material are taken from along the shoreline. These areas should be deepened so there is a slope of 3:1 down to a depth of 6 feet. Limit these steep shorelines to two thirds of the pond closet to the dam. Allow the remaining third shallow for fish spawning, nursery areas, and for other wildlife uses.
Renovating the fishery in a farm pond
Fish renovations should be undertaken only in farm ponds with adequate depth (8-12 feet), sufficient size (1/2 acre or larger), controlled watersheds, and undesirable fish populations. Fish population improvements in poor ponds would be short-lived and costly.
Rotenone is a fish toxicant that prevents gill tissue from absorbing dissolved oxygen from the water. It is not toxic to warm blooded mammals at concentrations prescribed for killing fish. Rotenone can be purchased either in powder form or as a liquid. The liquid is recommended because of its ease of application. Many things about your pond should be known before attempting renovation of fish populations. The pond surface acreage should be determined by visiting you local SCS Office and asking them to measure the area of your pond from aerial photos on file in their office. Average depth is needed to determine the total water volume. Average depth can be calculated by multiplying maximum depth by .4. Multiply average depth times the surface acres to determine volume in acre feet (one acre foot covers one acre one foot deep).
Best results are obtained if the renovation is scheduled in August when water temperature is highest. Liquid rotenone should be used for pond renovation and should be applied at a rate of 3 ppm (parts per million). One gallon of the liquid per one acre equals 3 ppm. Let's say, for example, that you want to renovate your pond to remove an abundance of small bluegills and bullheads. A trip to the NRCS Office and a check of their aerial photographs proves the pond to be 2 acres and a quick test of the depth from a boat using a weighted line shows the depth to be 22 feet. Therefore, to calculate the number of gallons of rotenone you would calculate:
Average depth = .4 x maximum depth or Average depth = .4 x 22 feet = 8.8 feet
Volume = average depth x surface acres or Volume = 8.8 feet x 2 acres = 17.6 acre feet.
Therefore you would need 17.6 gallons of rotenone.
Rotenone can be applied with the use of an outboard motor and boat. One method is driving around the pond in a boat and pouring rotenone slowly in the water near the outboard. Make more laps over the deeper water than over shallow areas. Continue to mix the rotenone and water with the outboard until all rotenone is applied. In a few minutes, fish will start swimming on the surface and die. Rotenone can be applied by another method, also with a boat and motor. Tie the boat between two steel fence posts in the middle of the dam. Tie the outboard in the center position, start, and run at maximum throttle, in forward gear. Run the outboard for 1/2 to 1 hour, to establish a circulation pattern and begin slowly pouring rotenone in propwash. Continue to mix rotenone and water after all rotenone is applied. Wait for the fish to surface and die.
Allow the pond to detoxify for at least one month before restocking. Rotenone can be purchased in gallon quantities from select DNR fisheries offices. (Note: Rotenone must be applied by a licensed pesticide applicator.) Contact your local district office to find the nearest DNR rotenone source.

History - B.A.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|Department of History
305 Bowman Hall
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tel: 330-672-2882
Fax: 330-672-2943
Web: http://www.kent.edu/cas/history/index.cfm
|The Bachelor of Arts in History appeals to individuals seeking both a well-rounded educational experience and intellectual independence. The study of history, through the emphasis on research, examination, interpretation and reflection, offers thorough training in a range of skills, including the ability to read extensively and critically; the capability to apprehend, evaluate and analyze complex evidence, arguments and opinions; the know-how to develop and present a carefully informed, reasoned and crafted argument; confident and clear oral communication skills; and the capacity to undertake independent work and manage time effectively.
|Majoring in History provides a foundation for a number of careers and post-graduate programs. Traditionally, a large number of pre-law students major in history in order to benefit from the critical thinking and writing skills necessary to analyze and process evidence; then learning to make a strong case using evidence. Many teachers and librarians also major in history before attending an M.A. or M.LIS. (MLA) program. Professions within history itself have grown over the years and as states such as Ohio invest more in tourism, park systems and heritage sties these public history fields continue to grow. Likewise, many of our students go on to national and international careers in public history. The department of History also offers a Masters of Arts and Ph.D. program in History, as well as a new Masters of Arts in History for Teachers.
Undergraduate majors can consider these post-graduate programs along with other nationally competitive programs to which our majors have been accepted.
|General Admissions for Freshman Students: Students most likely to be admitted and succeed at the Kent Campus are those who have graduated with at least 16 units of the recommended college preparatory curriculum in high school, who have achieved a cumulative high school grade point average of 2.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale), and whose composite ACT score is 21 or better (980 combined critical reading and math SAT score). For more information on admissions, visit the Admissions website for new freshmen.
General Admissions for Transfer Students: Generally, a transfer applicant who has taken 12 or more semester hours with a college cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale may be admitted. An applicant who has taken fewer than 12 semester hours will be evaluated on both collegiate and high school records. For more information on admissions, visit the Admissions website for transfer students.
|Minimum 121 total credit hours and 42 upper-division hours for graduation. Minimum 2.00 GPA overall and 2.00 GPA in major required for graduation.
|There are many study abroad/away opportunities, for more information contact the Office of International Affairs.

Washington, DC –U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today made the following statement after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its cost estimate for the comprehensive immigration reform legislation currently being debated in the U.S. Senate. The CBO estimates the bill will result in $197 billion in deficit reduction through 2023:
"As this new CBO score clearly shows, immigration reform isn't just the right thing to do—it also makes good economic sense. That's a point Grover Norquist made when I invited him to testify at a recent hearing I held in the Joint Economic Committee, where he stressed the critical role of immigration reform in reducing the deficit and growing our economy. As we focus on getting our fiscal house in order, I'm hopeful this new CBO score will convince more of my colleagues to put politics aside and come together to pass a commonsense bill that moves America forward."
Klobuchar recently held a Joint Economic Committee hearing that highlighted the strong fiscal and economic arguments for comprehensive reform. Klobuchar invited Grover Norquist, Founder and President of Americans for Tax Reform, to testify at the hearing, where Norquist underscored the positive economic impact immigration reform would have on the economy and argued that reform would reduce, rather than increase, the deficit.
Klobuchar is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which passed the bill last month with bipartisan support. The legislation includes key provisions Klobuchar authored to reform the visa system to help ensure the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs get their start in America and increase the number of doctors able to work in the United States. The bill also includes Klobuchar's amendments to boost science and technology education, protect victims of domestic violence and elder abuse, and improve visa processing to encourage international tourism.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. It sounds like you were close and that you enjoyed her company. I will pray for peace for you and your family.
We are planning the memorial service for sometime in Sept. We are also remembering her departed husband who passed several years ago, their ashes will be spread together.
with sincere gratitude , Barbara
Donna was the closest of all the siblings to me. Even thought she was 11 years older, she was like sister /mother to me. It was her that was there to support me in everything, calling even to see if I was ok when sick. We talked about lots and she was always there, a confidant. Always the loving caring thoughtful person.
I feel totally lost now that she is gone. ,Barbara

On July 27, when the Olympic opening ceremony lights up the sky over London, the British capital will become the first city in the modern world to host the Olympic Games three times. Twice in the 20th century, London put on games that saw such a stressful mix of triumph and tribulation that it's a wonder the Brits ever came back for more. This is the story of the achievements, the agonies and the acrimonies of 1908 and 1948.
The iconic image from the 1908 Games is the staggering, almost unconscious little Dorando Pietri of Italy being helped across the finish line of the marathon. It's probably the most famous photograph in Olympic history. It shows the simple heroism of all marathon runners, the human will enduring against the body's frailty, "the fascinating struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame," as the writer Arthur Conan Doyle described it in a newspaper report the next day.
The backstory is more complicated and more contentious. Italy was the original choice to host the games, but withdrew when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 1906 and its economy went under. So Italy's national pride was at stake, at a time when rivalry between the European nations was heating up. But far worse was the boiling-over animosity between Great Britain and the U.S., a public shouting match that caused those 1908 Games to be nicknamed "The Battle of Shepherd's Bush," referencing the London suburb where the games were centered.
When the British officials hurried to help the stumbling Pietri, poured stimulants down his throat (don't ask), lifted him to his feet and held him by the elbow to ensure he tottered to the finish, it was no coincidence that the runner in sight in second place, moving strongly round the big three-laps-to-the-mile track, was American. He was Johnny Hayes of New York, the certain winner if Pietri didn't make it.
Britain had expected to win the marathon and that confidence helped them tolerate the U.S. domination in track and field. Making amends, five British marathoners went out fast–much too fast. (The maximum per team in the 1908 marathon was 12. Britain, Canada and the U.S. entered full teams.) Two were well ahead at 10 miles. When they faded, it was Charles Hefferon who took over, an English-born South African who had fought for Britain in the Boer War, so as good as British in that imperial era. Then the lead passed to the fancied Tom Longboat, Boston winner in 1907. The Americans had tried to get him disqualified for accepting money, but Longboat was allowed to run, probably because he strengthened Canada, another Empire team.
The strife had come into the open when the American flag was flown at half-staff on the opening day. So the American flag-bearer refused to dip the Stars and Stripes as the team marched past King Edward VII.
"The U.S. flag dips to no earthly king," he is reputed to have said, and he was a giant shot-putter, so spoke with conviction.
The head of the U.S. team, James Sullivan, lodged a protest because all track officials were British, another protest over Longboat, another about footwear in the tug o' war, another complaining of the lack of sawdust or sand for the pole vaulters, and a counter-protest over obstruction in the 400m. He pulled all three Americans from the re-run of that final, and thus Wyndham Halswelle of Britain became the only Olympic champion ever to race with no opposition.
In the stadium, Americans outclassed the world–15 gold medals, three world records, several clean sweeps. Mel Sheppard doubled in the 800m (world record, 1:52.8) and 1500m (Olympic record, 4:03.4). American fans irritated the British by their vociferous chanting: "U-S-A! U-S-A!" It wasn't proper. For an American to win the marathon was the final insult. That's why there was such an outcry when Pietri was inevitably disqualified (after another American protest). And that's why Pietri, not Hayes, the true winner, whose pace judgement and endurance had proven superior, was made the hero of the hour and given a special cup by the Queen.
Adding to the insult was the now forgotten detail that in the amended placings, after Pietri's disqualification, Americans were first (Hayes), third (Joseph Forshaw) and fourth (Alton Welton). The U.S. has never matched that result in the Olympic marathon since. None was near the leaders at 10 miles. Boy, did those Americans get their pace right!
Dorando Pietri helped across finish line at 1908 Olympic Marathon
And Hayes was worse than American–he was Irish-American. The real source of all the controversy in July 1908, I have concluded from recent research, was not so much Anglo-American tension as Anglo-Irish. The problem of Ireland's status was huge, and a few years later, in 1913-14, it would bring the whole of Britain close to civil war. American sympathies were strongly with the independence movement. When Irish-Americans won almost half of the U.S. total of 23 gold medals in all sports, it was a powerful gesture of defiance, right there on the living-room carpet of the Empire's capital. The fiery Sullivan fomented his team's ill will, and at home the games were interpreted in the language of uprising and contempt.
"The American victory at the Olympic Games in London, won in spite of unfairness and in some cases downright cheating, will be celebrated by a national welcome to the athletes on their return to New York," wrote The Gaelic American newspaper, with typical pugnacious eloquence (Aug. 1, 1908). The paper mocked the "barefaced attempt to cheat Hayes, the young Irish American, out of the victory ... by carrying Dorando to the tape," (a considerable exaggeration) sarcastically calling it "the crowning act of British chivalry ... Their unfairness, discourtesy and boorishness ... to all foreigners, from start to finish, have at last opened the eyes of the whole world to the real character of the English people."
A more balanced verdict on the 1908 Games has to give the British great credit for raising sports facilities and sports promotion to a new level. The main stadium, with a running track, cycle track, football pitch and platforms for gymnastics and wrestling, held nearly 100,000. They built it in 10 months, with no government financing. They brilliantly implemented the new idea of the opening ceremony and march-past of teams. They promoted the marathon and brought out huge crowds onto the streets for the first time for a sports event.
They negotiated support from Britain's powerful establishment, especially royalty. The king opened the games, and the queen and her royal children (including two future kings) watched the start of the marathon from the lawn at Windsor Castle. That meant extending the course to 26 miles, whereas previous "marathons" had mostly been about 25, though variable. When the finish line was located under Queen Alexandra's box in the stadium, the distance ended as the odd 26 miles, 385 yards, now familiar to us all. It became standard during the global "marathon mania" that followed the Pietri-Hayes drama and was made the official Olympic distance in 1924.
The games organizers were led by William Grenfell, Lord Desborough, a politician who was also a talented cricketer, oarsman, fencer and big-game hunter. He climbed the Matterhorn, rowed the English channel and swam the Niagara Falls rapids. He knew sports.
It was the London 1908 organizers under Desborough who imagined and created the Olympic Games as the great spectacle of superlative international sport that we now know, instead of the small-scale, ill-organized sideshow it had been in 1900 and 1904. It was London in 1908 that turned Pierre de Coubertin's dream into reality. And, 40 years later, it was London in 1948 that saved the dream from dying, among all the other destruction of World War II.

Gone are the heavy jackets, gloves, snow boots, and frozen faces of Chicago winter. Summer is upon us and citizens are wearing shorts, sporting flip flops and even, dare I say, getting sunburned! Recently I had the opportunity of experiencing one of the best kept secrets in Chicago tourism. An attraction that is perfect for summer, especially with this lovely weather we Chicagoans have been having as of late. The Mystic Blue Boat Cruise allows an exciting, fresh perspective for exploring the city.
The Mystic Blue Boat cruise departs from Navy Pier. I boarded the Mystic Blue on a Saturday evening for a friend's birthday party. I didn't really know what to expect, as I had never been on a cruise of Lake Michigan. I was immediately greeted by the Captain and Crew and knew it was going to be a fun night! The Mystic Blue has 3 enclosed, climate controlled decks, with dinner and dancing on the main level. Dinner was served buffet style and consisted of a specialty fish entree, pasta, potatoes, vegetables and more. On this particular cruise there was a cash bar for any Guests looking to "wet their whistle." Guests are free to roam about the ship and are advised to eat at their leisure. Shortly after the majority of patrons dined, a dessert buffet was set with everything from cheesecake to fondue with marshmallow's and rice krispies on skewers. All the while, a DJ played music and encouraged guests to dance, the Crew even performed a special choreographed number, which was very entertaining. Later in the evening, fireworks from Navy Pier were seen by all. The observation desk upstairs provided a great view of the city skyline at night. It truly was a unique experience that I would recommend to any guest or visitor to the Chicago area.
To get to Navy Pier and The Mystic Blue Boat Cruise from the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown, you may either take a cab, walk, or utilize the Free Shuttle service (inquire at the Front Desk for details). A cab will take about 5 to 10 minutes to reach your destination, or if it's nice outside a leisurely walk is only about 1 mile from the hotel. If walking, head east on W. Illinois St. toward N. State St. Continue N. onto Streeter Dr. Keep right at the fork. By this point you will see Navy Pier. Turn right onto E. Grand Ave. Your destination will be halfway down the pier on the right.

One new element in Icecrown Citadel are exponential soft enrages. These are mechanics which start out slow and "speed up" as time goes on. There are currently three fights that use exponential soft enrages: Deathbringer Saurfang; Professor Putricide; and Blood Queen Lana'thel.
In the Deathbringer encounter, Saurfang gains Blood Points when he deals damage to someone. When he reaches 100 Blood Points, he puts a Mark on someone and deals damage to them whenever he hits the tank. That means he generates the next Mark faster, and so on. If a person with a Mark dies, Saurfang heals for 5%.
In Putricide Phase 3, the tank gets a debuff which causes raidwide damage. Each stack increases the raidwide damage by a factor of 3. If the debuff expires for any reason, including tank death, Putricide is healed for a large amount (10% maybe, but P3 starts at 35%, so it's effectively a third or more of his remaining health.)
In Blood Queen Lana'thel, one person is turned into a vampire allowing them to do more damage. After a short time, they have to bite someone else and turn them into a vampire as well. After another interval, two new vampires have to be created, and so on. If you aren't able to bite someone, you get Mind Controlled.
One of the most interesting things about these setups is how vulnerable they are to "fiddling" in the early part of the sequence.
For example, in Deathbringer Saurfang, you can let the first Mark die. Saurfang heals for 5% and you lose a DPS, but you effectively reset the soft enrage timer. Let's say the first Mark comes at 2 min with the second Mark coming at 3 min. Letting the first Mark die means that the first active Mark comes at 4 min, with the second mark at 5 min. You gain a huge amount of time because you were able to reset the sequence, and the fight becomes trivial. The penalty of 5% health and a DPS is not enough to prevent the tactic from working.
In Putricide, the penalty is very high. It's high enough to make resetting the stack non-viable. However, you can buy a bit of extra time by inserting more tanks into the tank rotation. Each extra tank would give you an extra 40s in P3 while keeping the raidwide damage low. It's possible that a guild which is having trouble with P3 could drop a healer and put in an extra tank.
For Blood Queen Lana'thel, originally the sequence of 1-2-4-8-16 was less than the hard enrage timer. So people started doing a sequence like 1-2-(4-3)-6-12-24. When you hit four vampires, one vamp would deliberately die to shift the sequence slightly. A small change early in the sequence netted more time, enough that the hard enrage became the limiter. Again, there was no penalty for fiddling with the sequence. Blizzard eventually increased the timer, so the normal sequence would hit the hard enrage timer as well.
So exponential soft enrage timers are a very interesting mechanic introduced in Icecrown. However, they need strong penalties to avoid people tampering with them. An early reset or delay can push back the soft enrage by a large amount. In two of the three fights that use it so far, the penalty wasn't strong enough.

Exponential soft enrage is probably best part of the icecrown encounters so far. BigRedBosses is getting old and I'm glad blizzard could come up with something different.

Also of note is Rotface, who has a speeding up mechanic. There is an upper limit however. The Mutated Infection that he casts is done every 14 seconds or so at first and then will incrementally get faster until he's casting it every 6 seconds (which happens about 3 minutes in).
For a long time (and even somewhat still) my guild had believed that he "enraged" at 30%, spitting out the Infections quicker. In reality they were already quicker and we didn't really notice all that much. It is interesting to note that our group was like "AHHHH 30%, HEAL EVERYONE! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" In other words, we panicked at 30% because we thought the fight changed.

It makes a long time WoW raider take pause and wonder if its worth it to continue a WoW subscription.
Creating these intricate (cumbersome) encounters, where videos have to be made to get through them plus a boss mod... for purple pixels that get reset in the next expansion.
I'll go watch the videos and go play a different game.

- Rohan said...
Crofe, that's a good point about Rotface. However, Rotface's timer is independent of player actions, and can't be altered.
So it's a little bit different than the three sequences listed.

>>>Intricate (cumbersome) encounters
It seems more like they have switched from making things like mana regen, threat management, resist sets, farming consumables and class buff mixes being the major concern to actually creating interesting encounters for new bosses. Those videos and strats you see on the web weren't produced by Blizzard, they were created my gamers to be used by the lowly player. With all the love casual players are getting, it's good Blizzard still provides challenges for the gamers.

Deathbringer Saurfang's Mark can be completely avoided. Its possible to get through the encounter without him casting a single mark. My guild did it the last two weeks in a row on 10-man.
- 2:29 PM, January 26, 2010
- Tegoelf said...
That is just beating the encounter with so much speed (and excellent add control) that you don't see the enrage, also I have only heard of (and done) this in 10 man, too many adds in 25/whatever other reasons to get away with no marks. In this case the more amusing solution I have seen is to SS multiple dps pallys and have them DI the first and possibly second mark. They take no damage, so as long as he is down in mark1+3 min you have reset the timer.
I would question the validity of saying that "messing with the sequence" isn't a valid and welcome strat by blizzard. it means you have to make a choice. it takes more thought less grind
- 2:48 PM, January 26, 2010
- Rohan said...
Oh, it's a valid strat, I'm not denying that. However, I do think strats that revolve around letting people die are a bit silly.
However, I'm just saying that this class of challenges is vulnerable. It's very easy for a small change early in the sequence to render the sequence immaterial, when instead it should be a major part of the fight.
For example, if the penalty on Saurfang was that he healed 50% of his health, then letting someone die would not be a valid strat at all. It all depends on the penalty.

The difference between asking someone to sacrifice themselves and having the mechanic remove the player is subtle.
I remember in TBC Azgalor which killed a player with its curse of doom and Teron Gorefiend which had a similar mechanic. Kazgoral also had a soft enrage like that with its mark that ate more and more mana.
More recently (or even before), Grobulus has a similar mechanic, putting poison rings faster and faster as the fight progresses.
Another technique I read about for Saurfang is to have the marked people go into the ship's cannons as they are then removed from the fight (as in don't get any achievement and loot).
What my guild does is simple, have a trigger happy discipline priest tossing shields left and right, especially on people with debuffs.

Unfortunately, these cold weather months haven't exactly been a friend to our figures. Instead of enjoying a little exercise outside, we've been marathoning really bad reality TV and eating our weight in chocolate and cheese. ;
That said, it's never too late to get in shape — especially when you realize that tank top season is rapidly approaching! So in an effort to help you (and ourselves!) stick with that New Year's resolution to hit the gym, we've decided to round up some awesome bikini body inspiration — as well as a few celebrity diet and exercise tips — to light a fire under your soon-to-be toned derrière.

Miranda Simon will be happy to take a break from what has been her summer routine.
The recent graduate of Bartlett Yancey has been adhering to a workout regimen to prepare for the start of her women's soccer career at Lenoir-Rhyne next month.
But for the next couple of days, it's back to practice and eventually a game for Simon.
Simon earned a selection for the North Carolina East-West All-Star Game and will line up for the West team at 6:30 Tuesday night at UNC Greensboro Soccer Field.
Because Simon's club soccer career ended in the spring after her 18th birthday, she has spent the summer preparing for her freshman season at Lenoir-Rhyne. With a schedule of weight lifting and conditioning every day, a couple practices and a game is a welcome change for Simon.
"Our college coach gave us a workout … it's a workout every day. I've been doing that every day since May," Simon said. "I'm excited about (the game), it should be fun. Just soccer practice now instead of lifting weights and doing a bunch of sprints."
Simon said she was hoping to be selected for the All-Star Game and that it could lead the way for more players from Bartlett Yancey to be picked.
"It'll be exciting … and hopefully there will be a lot more after this year," Simon said. "I was kind of surprised because there are a lot of high-quality players in North Carolina. It was exciting to be picked out of all those people."
Simon is the second girls' soccer player from Bartlett Yancey to be picked for the North Carolina East-West Game, joining Lindsey Gilbert in 2009. She's planning on playing defensive center midfield for the West team.
Simon departs today and will practice with the team leading to Tuesday night's game. Simon said she knows several of her teammates from playing against them in club soccer, with Simon competing as a member of the Burlington Soccer Club.
"We're good friends, so it's not like anything competitive. We're really good friends with each other," Simon said.

Comments about Problem Solvers Handlebar Shim:
My bars didn't slip while using this on my single speed. It is tricky to keep everything centered while installing, though, as the two halves just float around while tightening the stem. There are plastic ones out there that snap together as one, and are a bit easier to work with. It's a work-around piece, probably not best for serious riding adventures.

|Rays Players Cobb and Wright Visit All Children's
Veteran Rays reliever Jamey Wright is known for his towering, 6-foot-6 presence on the mound. Yet at this particular moment, he had a different kind of motion: a silly, stomping move toward two grinning little boys by their hospital-room door - brothers Omar, 4, and Carlos, 1.
Fresh off a grueling 10-game road swing and a painful home loss one night earlier, the two Rays took time out of their demanding schedule to pay a visit to All Children's patients and parents - one of several scheduled trips this season by the Rays in conjunction with Sagicor, a financial services company and corporate sponsor of the team.
Cobb and Wright's delivery was natural and heart-felt as they mingled with dozens of sick children, signing autographs and sharing words of encouragement - with furry team mascot Raymond adding hugs and dance steps for good measure. The impact they had during their 90-minute stay could be measured in smiles and buoyed spirits.
"It puts everything in perspective," said Cobb, whose mother worked as a pediatrician. "What these kids have gone through, and the struggles that they're going through, is what hits home. This helps you take a step back from what you're doing. You realize it's real-life stuff; it's not a game."
Wright found the visit equally meaningful. "For me, it means everything," he said. "Right now I've got three of my own children back in Dallas, so I'm really missing them. To come up here and be around kids, that's what I love. ... We've gone into rooms where they're not feeling good, and they're ready to get out of here. And hopefully us coming in here makes them happy and gives them something to think about other whatever is going on with them in this hospital."
Wright kidded with children every chance he got, and even engaged in an impromptu game of soccer with a 12-year-old boy, Chas, who explained he wasn't very good at baseball. Cobb threw the pillowy balls back and forth to excited youngsters - or simply listened attentively as he spoke with kids and their parents and wished them well.
It was an outing to remember - one in which everyone came away a winner.

Mercy For Animals is dedicated to preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies.
Our Vision
MFA works to create a society where all animals are treated with the compassion and respect they so rightfully deserve.
We serve as a voice for animals through proactive consumer education initiatives, cruelty investigations, corporate outreach, and legal advocacy.
Click here to learn more about MFA's many investigations.
The Plight of Farmed Animals
Over 95% of the cruelty to animals in the United States occurs at the hands of the meat, dairy, and egg industries which confine, mutilate, and slaughter over 9 billion land animals each year.
Despite the fact that these are the most abused animals in the United States, they actually have the fewest number of advocates. That is why it is so important that we stand up and become a voice for the most defenseless.
Awards and Recognition
These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
Annual Review
Previous years:
VegNews called Mercy For Animals one of the "best bang for your buck" organizations. Click here for more information on MFA's financials.
Mercy For Animals is a 501(c)3 national nonprofit that depends upon private donations. Your tax-deductible contribution provides MFA with the critical resources we need to create permanent change for farmed animals.

The new owner of Byrd's Restaurant is not new to the landmark country diner on N.C. 58 South. Darlene Ward had been working there for 16 years when she bought the restaurant in October.
Byrd's was founded by the late Oscar Byrd and was located in the building next door. Carole Jarrell and her late husband, Terry, bought the diner and Carole Jarrell sold it to Ward upon her retirement.
Ward has managed the restaurant for the last 12 years, so it's no surprise she now owns it.
"I've always been in food service," she said. She started working there on the line and making biscuits — cheese biscuits that keep people coming back for more.
Ward's mother, Mary Alice Jones, makes them by scratch Mondays through Thursdays with just the right touch.
"You've got to have a special touch with it," Ward said. "Not everyone can make a biscuit."
Ward said she can make them pretty close, "but they're not Momma's."
"We sell probably right around 14 pans a day," she said. There are a dozen biscuits to a pan.
Byrd's is a family restaurant open for breakfast and lunch with a solid customer base.
"They all love to come in here because they say it's just like being at home," she said. That might mean there's some good-natured "attitude," just like family sitting around the dinner table at home.
Ward said many of the patrons are on a first-name basis and the crew readies their meal without them having to order.
"The food's good, as well as the service," she said. "It's like country — country cooking."
Besides the biscuits with their baked-in hoop cheese, the steak and gravy is a best seller.
Daily specials include spaghetti and garlic bread on Mondays beef tips and rice on Tuesdays, fried pork chops or barbecued chicken on Wednesdays and hamburger steak on Thursdays.
Fish stew is served on Fridays. It's made with mackerel, onions, potatoes and eggs in a tomato base.
"Usually by we're sold out," Ward said.
Saturdays, they just serve breakfast. The hunters come in first, followed by a good crowd of regulars.
Ward, a
Byrd's Restaurant, 196 N.C. 58 S., is open Monday through Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. For information, call 252-523-3422.
Bruce Daughety turned a tough situation into a positive one through his father's good reputation and guidance.
When DuPont closed, Daughety lost his information technology job. That was in 2005. His father, Orville Daughety, had worked for Herbert Whitfield at Whitfield Auto Sales for 30 years. When Whitfield retired, Orville bought the business and changed the name to Daughety Auto Sales.
Orville invited his son to work with him.
"It's been the best thing that ever happened to me," he said.
Daughety had worked in the service department of his aunt and uncle's shop in
When the Sand Hill native came to work for his father, he was excited to get some sporty cars on the lot. But Orville knew a thing or two about what cars would sell — the reliable models that couples and families depend on to get them from point A to point B.
So Daughety learned from a pro, not only about what cars to purchase, but how to look for solid, reliable cars, and how to provide good customer service and honesty — the same methods that had worked for Whitfield.
"They built a good repeat local business," Daughety said about his father and Whitfield.
But Daughety added his own skills to the mix by developing a website and starting an online business linked to Auto Circuit, which links with numerous other car sale businesses. It turned out to be a smart move since the economic downturn. And it proved to be an avenue to sell a sports car now and then.
"We've sold cars as far away as
Daughety is a stickler about checking the history of each car he buys and passing the information on to the buyer. He never charges a dock fee, takes care of the paperwork with the Department of Motor Vehicles and passes his savings from low overhead on to the customers.
"Being honest is the main thing," he said, "being honest about the cars."
Daughety offers a warranty for cars under 200,000 miles and takes trade-ins. He gives all the credit for his success to his father.
"There's not a lot special about me," he said. "I'm just riding his coattails is what I tell people."

Dr. Roberts reflects on the experience of being one of the nine African-American students who volunteered to desegregate Little Rock Central High School in 1957, and shares his perspective and wisdom on such issues as personal choice, compassion, freedom, and responsibility. Drawing from his recent publication Simple Not Easy: Reflections on Community Social Responsibility and Tolerance, the event emphasized a question-and-answer format with the students in attendance. The event took place on January 31, 2013, and was sponsored by Pepperdine University Libraries in partnership with the Black Student Association.

Citizens for Tax Reform v. Deters
On March 5, 2008, a three judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the district court ruling to strike Ohio's law banning per-signature payments. On August 1, the Ohio Solicitor General asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal of the decision. On November 17, the United States Supreme Court announced that it was declining to hear Ohio's appeal.[2],[3] According to ballot access expert Richard Winger:
- " In the 40 years that the U.S. Supreme Court has been involved in ballot access, this is only the eighth time that the Court has refused to hear a ballot access appeal brought by a state. The Court generally treats state governments better than it treats ordinary litigants. The Court only takes 2% of the cases presented to it. However, states have a 50% success rate when they ask the Court to take a ballot access case."
The defendants in the case, Joseph Deters and Matthias Heck, were named in their official capacities as enforcers of the law. Deters was the prosecuting attorney for Hamilton County, Ohio and Heck was the prosecuting attorney for Montgomery County, Ohio.
In the district court's decision, Judge Dlott relied on evidence presented by professional signature-gathering companies that indicated a prohibition on "per-signature" compensation would increase the costs and the time associated with obtaining the number of signatures required to qualify for the ballot. The Court also found that the State's evidence of fraud in certain petition efforts did not establish the fraud was caused by the method of payment to circulators. Thus, the Court held that the statute did not justify the burden placed on the initiative proponents' core political speech rights.[4]
On December 27, 2006, the State of Ohio appealed the federal trial court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth District. The hearing in the appeal was held on November 30, 2007 in front of Judges Julia Gibbons, David McKeague and Eugene Siler.[5]
According to Richard Winger, Ohio has declared that if it loses its appeal to the 6th Circuit, it will ask for review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case arose out of an attempt of Citizens for Tax Reform, an Ohio political advocacy group, to quality a citizen initiative for the 2005 general election ballot in that state. They contracted with Arno Political Consultants, a professional petition drive management company to pay $1.70 per signature for 450,000 signatures. This contract was entered into prior to the contested law taking effect. Once the law took effect, the petition drive management company notified CTR that they could no longer collect signatures at the specified rate and that, indeed, they would require an additional $300,000 to complete the drive.
On March 19, 2005, Judge Sandra Beckwith issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the state of Ohio, enjoining the enforcement of the state's ban on payment-per-signature. The TRO was extended multiple times, until the hearing before Judge Dlott, at which time Dlott invalidated Ohio's law as unconstitutional.
Petition drive managers
In the trial, Mike Arno testified that he would need to charge CTR considerably more on a time-and-materials basis with the law in effect than he would need to charge if the law were not in effect.
Lee Albright of National Petition Management estimated in testimony at the trial that if he ran the petition drive, it would cost 60% more than without the law.
Government case
In unsuccessfully making its case, the government of Ohio relied on evidence of fraud from the 2004 petition drive that took place in Ohio to qualify Ralph Nader for the ballot. Judge Dlott criticized this evidence as not proving that the fraud was caused by the method of paying circulators by the signature.
Judge Dlott also rejected the value of evidence presented in the case by John Lindback, the Director of the Election Division for the Oregon Secretary of State. Judge Dlott found that the materials presented by Lindback are "almost devoid of factual findings" and overall found that the Lindback exhibits "are not probative even to the extent that they are admissible".

Ramirez and Sanclemente Goals Give Men's Soccer 2-1 Season-Ending Victory at Belmont Abbey
October 27, 2012
BELMONT, N.C. - A pair of first half goals would be just enough as Pfeiffer University avoided a winless season scoring a 2-1 victory over Belmont Abbey in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon. The victory helps the Falcons end 2012 at 1-15-2 overall, 1-8-1 in league play while the Crusaders fall to 6-9, 4-6.
Aldo Ramirez started scoring in the 11th minute of play as Corey Davis delivered a pass to the top of Ramirez's head finding the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. After the Crusaders tied it up just three-plus minutes later, Jamie Sanclemente would put home the eventual game-winner with 1:28 to play before the break. Chandler Ligas would assist on Sanclemente's game-winner.
Pfeiffer found its victory despite being outshot 24-7 in the match. Cristian Padilla would make six saves in net for the Falcons.
