So You Think You Can Dance Get Fit: Tone and Groove does feature the same dancers: Courtney Galiano, Travis Wall, Lauren Gottlieb, Twitch, Katee Shean, and Dmitry Chaplin. This time, though, you get to do Hip-Hop with Twitch, Jazz with Katee, and the Cha-Cha with Dmitry, with the rest as backup dancers. Once again, I really do like getting the benefit of seeing all six dancers. They all have a slightly different way of doing things, so it makes me feel that even if I don't look exactly like what one person is doing, it doesn't mean it's horrible. This isn't a normal exercise video in that you're allowed to free-style some and just enjoy what you're doing.
The DVD has several parts: Introduction, Warm-Up, Workouts, Cool Down, and Bonus Interviews. Once again, you can choose to play them all, but that's probably not the easiest way to start. These dances aren't easy. They do start you off slow and speed it up a bit at a time so that you can get the hang of it, but I wouldn't count on being able to go through them all at once when you first start! Considering most exercise videos are no more than half this length, you're doing a lot of work here. The Warm-Up is different from the one on the other disc. It's still mostly the same moves, but it's really nice to get to see them done differently.
The first dance/exercise on here is a Hip-Hop with Twitch. Now if you're not a fan of the show, you might have no clue who Twitch is, but I'll go ahead and tell you that he's hilarious. His personality and quirky moves quickly made him a favorite on the show. His glasses with no lenses are just one example of his sometimes odd habits. Twitch is a really fun dancer to follow. He's created a hip-hop routine that is easy enough for everyone to do and is still quite different from Lauren's on the other DVD. I really had fun with it.
The next dance is Katee's Jazz. Personally, this is my favorite one out of all the routines. It was just the most fun to do and yet my muscles ached more from it than any of them. She really did a great job of adding in moves that were easy and yet a great workout! She's also a fun person to keep you going. For all you guys who think you might look girly, she has different moves for guys and girls, just to avoid you feeling too feminine. You do move around the room a lot more in hers than the others, so make sure that you have enough room around you to move!
The final dance on the DVD is Cha-Cha with Dmitry. Get ready to work your abs out a lot on this one! If you watch the bonus features, you'll find out that he added more twists than you would normally find in the cha-cha to make sure that it was a great exercise. Well, he really added some twists! This one was a bit difficult for me to get used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. After his is over, you'll get the Cool Down that I highly recommend going through. You're probably going to be sore the next day anyway for a while, but the cool down workout will help with that.
The DVD also has bonus interviews with Nigel Lithgow, Katee, Twitch, and Dmitry. They're quite fun to watch because they're just such interesting characters. Plus you get to see what is going on behind the camera when they were filming this. If you're a fan of the show, I do recommend you go pick up So You Think You Can Dance Get Fit: Tone and Groove today!

Information Foraging as a Foundation for Code Navigation
A major software engineering challenge is to understand the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the developer's code navigation behavior. The authors propose a novel and unified theory based on the premise that they can study developer's information seeking strategies in light of the foraging principles that evolved to help their animal ancestors to find food. Their preliminary study on code navigation graphs suggests that the tenets of information foraging provide valuable insight into software maintenance. Their research opens the avenue towards the development of ecologically valid tool support to augment developers' code search skills.

Public Governance. A Blueprint for Political Action and Better Government
This paper sets forth a comprehensive viewpoint about how Public Governance should be assessed and worked-out, by making three contributions to the subject matter. Firstly, it provides the semantics by which this field of learning and practice may become operational in Political Science. Next, a four-tiered framework of analysis is laid bare, which deals with architecture, covenants and safeguards, collective action, and deviant behavior. Afterwards, and focusing on conflict systems, we give heed to the underlying logic of Public Governance, which stems from a network built up around the mechanisms of participation, contest and safeguarding.

Brief information about HCG and its dietPosted in Uncategorized on March 15th, 2017
Over the years, the HCG diet has been evolved around people due to its effectiveness. The diet usually requires the normal doses of HCG that stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Actually, the hcg is a hormone that found in the pregnancy of a woman. It has the capability to unlock the stored fats of mother and transfers it into her blood stream to ensure whether the growing fetus can get sufficient fuel. The HCG also does the same function, when people used for weight loss. On this way, the HCG moves your fat and reshapes your body by losing more inches and pounds as well.
Nowadays, a lot of people like the HCG diet methods due to its fast processes and effectiveness. The great thing about HCG can heals as well as resets the hypothalamus gland as part of your brain, which controls the metabolic rates in your body. At present, there are so many types of HCG available on the market such as HCG drops, injections, etc. These are all less expensive, easier to buy and also no prescription required. However, the HCG diet is FDA approved, especially for the fertility applications, so you do not worry about the dangers of HCG.
One of the major reasons for the growing popularity of HCG diet can help the woman to become pregnant. This medication is FDA approved pregnancy of category X. When you take HXG diet, it will increase the chances of becoming pregnant that might be twins, triplets or quadruplets and so on. But the multiple pregnancy is quite high risky for women as well as for babies too. So, it is better to follow the doctor's instructions about this and confirm that whether it is necessary or not during pregnancy.
Different types of HCG
When you are taking a little amount of HCG with a low calorie diet, this will reset the hypothalamus in order to breakdown the fats on your body. It can release the fats at an average rate of around 2, 000 calories on each day. Basically, there are several different types of HCG available that includes:
HCG tabs
You can take HCG tabs under your tongue. This is because; the bottom of the tongue can get highly absorbed into your blood stream. The HCG tabs are better to take than injections, which do not require any doctor's prescription.
HCG injections
It is one of the most effective types of HCG that requires to be prescribed by the physician before taking. When you use HCG injections, it has to be taken only once per day and needs to inject into the belly fat.
HCG drops
By using an oral syringe, you can place the hcg drops under the tongue. It is also as effective as injections and need to take twice per day. Before taking this, you should consult with your doctor.

Protests at 'refreshing' nativity
A new lager advertisement is leaving a sour taste in the mouth of many Christians - by sending up Jesus Christ's birth.
The new poster ad for Heineken features a traditional nativity scene complete with three wise men, shepherds, and a star of Bethlehem.
But Joseph is depicted rushing out of the stable proclaiming: "It's a girl."
The �3.5m campaign is planned to appear on sites across Britain - but church leaders have branded it "tasteless".
A spokesman for the Church of England said: "A lot of Christians and Muslims are going to be offended by this.
"They may call this fun but it strikes at the heart of Christian belief, denying the fact of Christ's birth.
"It appears they are creating these advertisements just to gain publicity out of them."
'Tasteless at this time of year'
A spokesman for the Roman Catholic Church in London added: "It is rather tasteless to do this at what, for many people, is a special time of year.
"It is continuing a trend to see Christmas purely as an excuse to go out and spend lots of money."
The advertisement is the latest in a new series which follows the axing of the famous "... refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach" slogan.
Heineken insists it is merely trying to be humourous, and has not set out to offend.
"It isn't meant to be confrontational, and we apologise if it has offended anyone.
The company said it would consider dropping the ad campaign if the industry's watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority, received complaints.
The Church of England is also furious about banners running in the window of French Connection clothes stores, which bear the slogan: 'fcuk xm@s'.
"What makes this case worse is their previous 'fcuk fashion' campaign was banned by the ASA, but as they are advertising in their own shop windows this time there isn't much we can do about it," said a C of E spokesman.
Watchdog: 'no complaints'
ASA spokesman Steve Ballinger said the watchdog was aware of recent comments made by the Church about the Heineken campaign but had not yet received any complaints.
He added the ASA would only insist on posters being withdrawn if they were judged to have caused "serious and widespread offence".
The authority has recently imposed new rules to deal with a rise in provocative poster advertisements, with organisations that break guidelines on "decency or social responsibility" being forced to submit new campaigns to the ASA for approval for two years.
The Commission for Racial Equality was the first to fall foul of the ruling with a series of ads suggesting black men were rapists and apes - which were then followed up by posters asking the public why they had not complained about the first set.
Talk Radio must also now have its ads pre-vetted, following complaints about an advertisement featuring a woman with a barcode on her bottom to promote a debate about prostitution.
However, Heineken has denied it was seeking controversy.
"We haven't dropped our old slogan of 24 years to seek a confrontation," said the spokeswoman.

Three microbiologists at the Maasstad hospital in Rotterdam are to face disciplinary proceedings for failing to tackle an outbreak of infections caused by a superbug in 2010/2011.
Hospital inspectors say the three are fully responsible for the failure of the hospital to get infections related to the Klebsiella bacteria under control.
Three patients died after becoming infected with Klebsiella, a multi-resistant bacteria, and a further 10 others may also have died because of it, an independent report into the outbreak last year showed.
Hospital hygiene experts are also 'directly responsible' for the hospital's failings but will not face disciplinary procedures because the law does not allow this. The inspectors have recommended the law be changed on this point.
The official report into the outbreak last November said hospital officials underestimated the size of the Klebsiella outbreak, its seriousness and how long it would last.
The bacteria was first identified in 2010 but action only taken in May 2011. In total 107 patients became infected, the report said.

Sexy papa Jon Bon Jovi, 50, walked hand-in-hand with his youngest child, 8-year-old son Romeo, in New York City on Sunday (May 13). The father-son duo played a friendly game of basketball and enjoyed Mother's Day alongside Jon's wife of 23 years, Dorothea.
The longtime couple are also parents to daughter Stephanie, nearly 19, and sons Jesse, 17, and Jacob, 10.
Next weekend, Jon and his legendary band Bon Jovi will headline the three-day Bamboozle festival in the city that started it all: Asbury Park, NJ, the famed beach town that launched the careers of Bruce Springsteen and JBJ himself!
We'll be there in spirit, Jon!

Rangers option Profar to AAA; Tepesch earn rotation spot
Jurickson Profar's time for regular major-league at-bats will be delayed after the Texas Rangers optioned one of baseball's top prospects to Triple-A.
The Rangers didn't have a starting spot for Profar on the big-league team with Elvis Andrus at shortstop and Ian Kinsler at second base. The team kept Leury Garcia as a utility infielder, and opted to get Profar regular at-bats in the minors.
Outfielder James Adduci, catcher Eli Whiteside and pitcher Nate Robertson are also heading to Triple A Round Rock.
Another Rangers farmhand fared better, as rookie Nick Tepesch earned the fifth-starter's job. He is scheduled to make his major-league debut April 9 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Texas had considered Michael Kirkman, but will stay in the bullpen. Tepesch posted a 4.28 ERA and struck out 68 in 90 1/3 innings with Double-A Frisco last season.
Also, veteran pitcher Derek Lowe has earned a spot on the Texas Rangers' Opening Day roster. The righty posted a 6.23 ERA in 8 2/3 innings, though he didn't allow runs in two of his three relief outings. Lowe will serve as a swingman.

Flagler College took a big step in its development as a professional training ground with its Career Expo last week.
About 340 students, 20 percent of Flagler's 1,757 population, turned out for the job fair.
This was the first of its kind, initiated by career planning coordinator Doris Flaherty, a recent addition to Flagler's staff.
She saw a need for a job fair because of her experience as a Flagler student. Flagler has provided career information in the past, but the job fair makes that important personal connection between employer and potential employee.
The event attracted companies from as far as Fort Lauderdale and agencies such as the FBI, IRS and Peace Corps.
Most of the 55 employers at Career Expo said they felt the students weren't well prepared for the job fair. Most students said they didn't bring resumes.
But most of the students didn't know what to expect.
They will next year, when Flaherty plans to hold the second annual Career Expo in the spring.
Career Expo is an important step toward preparing some of Flagler's students for the real world.

Nine deep-sea piston cores recovered along a north-south track from 58 S to 52 30'S at about 10 E were dated using Weaver's (1976) modification of McCollum's (1975) high latitude diatom zonation and paleomagnetic data. Deduced climatic fluctuations during the past five million years are based on Weaver's (1973) model for climatically related marine sedimentation and on the distribution of sediment types and unconformities in the nine piston cores. Conditions during part of the interval from the Pliocene/ Miocene transition (about 5.0 m.y. B.P.) were cool and are represented by unconformities, which resulted from the increased production of Antarctic Bottom Water. Climates that began warming before the Gilbert "b" event (4.14 m.y. to 3.97 m.y. B.P.) is represented by siliceous sediment, which continued accumulating until late Gilbert. Sometime after the beginning of the Gauss magnetic epoch (3.32 - 2.43m.y. B.P.) climate deteriorated and led to one or more episodes of regional scouring or nondeposition, By the end of the Olduvai magnetic event (1.86 – 1.71 m.y. B.P.) sediment began accumulating again. From the end of the Olduvai until the present, climate and oceanographic conditions fluctuated but not as drastically as earlier and sediment accumulated throughout most of the area, The locus of erosion/nondeposition also shifted geographically to areas in the north and south of the study region in the Holcene and possibly the Pleistocene. The two positions of erosion /nondeposition suggest the action of two bottom water masses, Antarctic Bottom Water and Circumpolar Deep Water. 1980-06-01T00:00:00Z Rosen, Michael A.

An Investigation Into the Spatial Distribution of Streamwater Chemistry Along the Great Miami River and Role of Land Use Type http://hdl.handle.net/1811/81097 An Investigation Into the Spatial Distribution of Streamwater Chemistry Along the Great Miami River and Role of Land Use Type Schwieterman, Neill Previous studies have shown that the Great Miami River watershed is a top contributor to nutrient load into the Mississippi River and ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico. High nutrient content corresponds to higher algal bloom rates, which can be devastating to environments and economies. Streamwater chemistry in the watershed has been studied extensively previously, however, a geospatial dataset of the scale studied here has never been collected before, which can provide insight into how the streamwater chemistry changes spatially. The land use type of the upper Great Miami River is predominantly agricultural, with 75.3% of the total upper watershed being agricultural (68.36% cultivated cropland, 6.93% pasture/hay). The land type throughout the area is extremely uniform, where land type changes relative to discharge area are minimal. On May 16th 2017, water samples were collected along the Great Miami River (upper) watershed, and analyzed for major cation, anion, and nutrient concentrations in the following weeks. The null hypothesis was to see if leeching of the agriculture in the area would overload the stream, creating uniform streamwater chemistry across the watershed area. Agriculture accounts for over 68% of the total upstream land use type above the pour point. Post analysis, the data collected have led to the conclusion that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. 2017-08-01T00:00:00Z Schwieterman, Neill Thermal Maturity, Composition, and Origin of the Hydrocarbon Gases of the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas, USA http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80810 Thermal Maturity, Composition, and Origin of the Hydrocarbon Gases of the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas, USA He, Dan The Eagle Ford Shale, a high-growth and profitable developing play, locates mainly in South Texas. Even though it has been actively developed for about 9 years, to reduce industrial exploitation risk, properties of the fluids in the Eagle Ford Shale still need to be studied. In this research, samples of oil and associated gases collected from 27 hydraulically fractured horizontal commercial wells were analyzed for major gas compositions and stable carbon isotopic ratios to characterize the natural gases of the Eagle Ford Shale. The experimental data suggest that natural gases of the Eagle Ford Shale are thermogenic, oil-associated wet gas in early stage of thermal maturity for four reasons: 1) large amount of ethane and heavier aliphatic hydrocarbons (0.11≤C2+/C1≤1.4); 2) the stable carbon isotopic composition of methane and ethane (-48<13C1 (‰)<-36 and -36.7<13C2 (‰)<-33.93); 3)vitrinite reflectance values (0.61<Ro<0.96) calculated from carbon isotope ratios of methane and ethane using two individual equations developed by Whiticar et al., 1994; 4) the sublinear nature of Chung Plot. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z He, Dan Comparing the Weathering Environment of Permian and Modern Antarctic Proglacial Lake Sediments: Mineralogical and Geochemical Study http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80763 Comparing the Weathering Environment of Permian and Modern Antarctic Proglacial Lake Sediments: Mineralogical and Geochemical Study Brewster, Shelby The Antarctic continent has been in a polar to subpolar position since the Permian period. Although it has experienced milder climates over this time period as evidenced by corals in the fossil record, Antarctica did undergo extensive glaciation during the Permian. This is based on the abundance of Permian tillites (sedimentary rocks derived from glacier tills) found in the Transantarctic Mountains. In this research, I have compared Permian age proglacial lake sediments that are associated with tilites to modern proglacial lake siltstones and mudstones from Antarctica. This was done to determine the climate, especially the amount of glacier melt that occurred when these Permian sediments were deposited. The modern lake sediments are deposited in perennially ice-covered lakes by ephemeral streams that only flow 6 to 12 weeks a year. The geochemical analyses of the Permian samples and the modern sediments from Lake Hoare in the McMurdo Dry Valleys suggest that the Permian samples are more highly chemically weathered than the modern sediments. The mineralogy of Lake Hoare sediments contain more primary minerals than chemical weathering produced minerals in the Pagoda Formation rocks, thus supporting the geochemical analysis that the Pagoda Formation minerals have been more weathered. All these data suggest that the Permian lake samples were deposited in a warmer, more hydrogeologically active environment than were the modern lake sediments. These data support previously published sedimentological and paleontological data that the Pagoda samples were deposited under more temperate or warm-based proglacial conditions than what is observed in the McMurdo Dry Valleys today. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Brewster, Shelby Exploration for He-3 http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80754 Exploration for He-3 O'Reilly, Bryan As an essential component in the cleanest and most efficient form of fusion, Helium-3 (He-3) has the potential to produce incredible magnitudes of energy. However, naturally occurring He-3 only makes up 1.37 parts per million of He on Earth. The U.S. stockpile of He-3 has gradually decreased since 2001, with the price of He-3 jumping from 200 to 2,000 USD per liter. This reduced supply is largely due to the Department of Homeland Security's demand for neutron detection systems along our borders following the events of September 11th 2001. Lacking an atmosphere, the Moon's surface is only partial shielded from the solar wind that carries He-3 produced by fusion within the Sun. As the solar wind washes over the lunar surface, the He-3 embeds in the regolith. Analysis of Apollo samples suggests that the regolith holds a minimum He-3 concentration of about 20 ppb, which makes the regolith a viable source of He-3. Although satellite remote sensing cannot directly map this Helium isotope, it can map the distributions of titanium and volatiles, such as hydrogen, along with other components that act as proxies for concentrations of He-3. Using satellite data from the NASA's Lunar Prospector mission, two areas of considerable potential for holding large concentrations of He-3 were identified. Mare Tranquillitatis (8.5˚N 31.4˚E), for example, has the highest concentration of the Ti proxy that is indicative of high He-3 concentrations. This area also provides access to other elements such as iron, hydrogen and oxygen, which would be essential in any lunar mining mission. The South Pole Aitken basin also is of interest due to its large permanently shadowed areas that help to hold volatile He-3 and limit its migration due to diurnal heating. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z O'Reilly, Bryan Measuring the Volumetric Storage Changes in the Mississippi River http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80751 Measuring the Volumetric Storage Changes in the Mississippi River von Clausburg, Alexander Storage change in rivers is a fundamental indicator of hydraulic processes, providing a numerical link between fluxes in and out of the channel, both via tributaries and via exchange with hyporheic groundwater. The spatial nature of storage change makes its in situ characterization impossible over long distances. New applications of remote sensing allow for measurement of this fundamental quantity. River width and height measurements derived from satellite data can be used to compute change. Storage change for a 2000 km stretch of the Mississippi River was computed for 2008 to 2010 assuming no temporal change in river width. Rates of storage change varied from -0.3 to 0.25 km3 per day. These values of change approximately followed seasonal cycles and were consistent with discharge data from the river as well. Temporal integration of storage change yields storage anomaly, which can be thought of as the difference between the actual river storage and storage at the initial time. Storage anomaly has a range of approximately 10 km3, which is approximately 2% of the annual flow of the river. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z von Clausburg, Alexander Literature Review of Oceanic Transforms http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80727 Literature Review of Oceanic Transforms Hollis, Taylor Ocean transform faults create segments of the mid-ocean ridge and rise systems. The transform morphology and offset are controlled by spreading rate, temperature, heat flow, and crustal strength. Numerical and analog modeling with modern computational power has made significant advances in the understanding of transforms. Heat distribution numerical modeling indicates that most heat is retained in the center of the transforms. In other modeling of oceanic transform faults, the greater part of the deformation made by the fault system to the ridge was in the center of the transform zone. The rheological properties of the mantle and crust is highly complex and hinders further numerical modeling with current computation power. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Hollis, Taylor Investigation of Water Quality and Availability in Rural Tanzanian Villages http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80691 Investigation of Water Quality and Availability in Rural Tanzanian Villages Goeller, Devon Many rural African villages rely on groundwater to meet domestic water needs, and solar-powered pumps are often sought to replace traditional hand pumps in village boreholes. As part of a collaborative project at The Ohio State University, a team of students is planning to design and install a solar-powered pump in an existing borehole within the rural village of Marwa, Tanzania. Herein, I report on a hydrogeologic assessment of boreholes within the surrounding regions of Kilimanjaro and Manyara to determine potential groundwater quality concerns and well yields. Based on an analysis of 67 water samples, boreholes commonly have low nitrate and coliform but occasionally have high total dissolved solids (TDS) and fluoride, relative to both drinking water standards and secondary water sources (dams, dug wells, and springs). I recommend testing the borehole in Marwa for TDS and fluoride during an upcoming data collection trip in May 2017. Based on an analysis of pump tests in ten boreholes across the region, typical aquifer transmissivities are moderate to low. I use this information to design a pump test for the borehole in Marwa, to be conducted during the data collection trip. If aquifer transmissivity is 5.098 m2/day, I anticipate a potential well yield on the order of ~4,200 L/hr. A solar powered pump would be suitable for this yield and could provide enough water for the village of Lesirway with a population of 500-1,000 people. The well could meet domestic needs, with a possibility of having some water supplied for irrigation and livestock watering. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Goeller, Devon A Numerical Simulation of a Tsunami Generated by a Submarine Landslide, Offshore Puerto Rico http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80633 A Numerical Simulation of a Tsunami Generated by a Submarine Landslide, Offshore Puerto Rico Rodgers, Nicholas The deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean is an area north of Puerto Rico known as the Puerto Rico Trench. Bathymetry data of the trench were acquired from the US Geological Survey and can be used to locate areas where the seafloor failed and created a marine landslide event. These events leave behind amphitheater-like cutouts in the cliff known as headscarps. In 1918 Puerto Rico experienced an earthquake and tsunami, leaving behind 116 dead. Surveyors were sent after the event to record damage and the data can be used today to study the tsunami. The tsunami is traditionally believed to have been caused directly by the earthquake. This project investigates the possibility that the earthquake caused a submarine slide instead. Previous studies have looked at different possible headscarps. However, few have used the tsunami model, GEOWAVE. This model is used best in shallow water which is applicable in this case. The simulation of the chosen slide resulted in realistic wave heights and speeds. However, not all of the simulated data agree with the reported data. Arrival times specifically are greater in the simulation than they were reported. This suggests that while a slide is a reasonable cause for the tsunami the location of the slide should be looked at further. The results from this project will be valuable those studying marine landslides in the Puerto Rico area. Knowledge of the possible tsunami risk associated with a landslide is very important from a risk assessment standpoint. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Rodgers, Nicholas ORIGIN OF PYRITE CONCRETIONS FROM THE HURON MEMBER OF THE OHIO SHALE (DEVONIAN), CENTRAL OHIO, USA http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80610 ORIGIN OF PYRITE CONCRETIONS FROM THE HURON MEMBER OF THE OHIO SHALE (DEVONIAN), CENTRAL OHIO, USA Lester, Elizabeth Concretions in sedimentary deposits form through chemical processes mediated by the decay of organic matter. Concretions often contain conspicuous macrofossils (Maples, 1986; Borkaw and Babcock, 2003). Use of X-ray computerized tomography (XTC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals body fossils of microscopic organisms and pyrite framboids (Borkow and Babcock, 2003), which may be secondary to organic material, in some concretions. By exploring the biological origins of the concretions we can learn how concretions form, develop insight into the processes of exceptional preservation, and enhance understanding of the environmental conditions at the time of sedimentation. A field emission gun (FEG) SEM, EDX, and XCT have been used to study pyrite concretions from black shale layers of the lower Huron Shale Member of the Ohio Shale (Devonian) from central Ohio, USA. Pyrite occurs in the concretions in three forms: 1, small pyrite framboids evidently formed around bacterial cells; 2, cone-in-structure; and 3, large euhedral crystals. Studied concretions contain remains of spores referred to Protosalvinia. Two sizes classes, probably reflecting individual spores (50-100 μm in diameter) and spore capsules (~200 μm in diameter), have been observed. Pyrite framboids are commonly present on the spores, whereas more extensive pyritization and cone-in-cone structure is associated with the presence of spore capsules. A consistent pattern of occurrence of euhedral crystals was not observed. Unrecrystallized bacterial cells and fungal hyphae were not observed. The black shale matrix surrounding the concretions is composed of primarily illitic clay. Protosalvinia spores are present in the matrix, and normally have small pyrite framboids on their surfaces. Studied pyrite concretions show no evidence of an origin with traces in sediment or the decay of animals. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Lester, Elizabeth Seawater 87Sr/86Sr Stratigraphy of the Middle Ordovician in Central Virginia http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80609 Seawater 87Sr/86Sr Stratigraphy of the Middle Ordovician in Central Virginia Newby, Sean Throughout most of the past century, the correlation of strata in a region has mainly been defined through biostratigraphy, the dating of rock through fossil succession. However, work over the past several decades has put increasing emphasis on dating rock formations through chemostratigraphy. This process utilizes secular trends in ancient seawater chemistry preserved in fossils and rocks, which can, in some cases, provide more accurate dating of strata. This project utilized the 87Sr/86Sr seawater curve and existing δ13C data to more accurately date the New Market Formation and underlying Knox Unconformity in central Virginia, which are approximately Middle Ordovician in age (~470–458 mya). The age of the New Market Formation has been studied previously near Collierstown, Virginia, primarily through conodont biostratigraphy. The Knox Unconformity forms the base of this formation. This major erosional unconformity occurs through much of eastern North American and represents a fall in relative sea level, and with this work, can be dated at Collierstown to terminate around 462.5 Ma. The cause of this unconformity is either through cooling climate that lowered sea level or regional tectonic uplift and mountain building raising the seafloor above sea level. This Sr isotope study suggests that sea-level changes are more effectively correlated to the unconformity, but the presence of regional uplift is still an important feature towards understanding the processes occurring. Either can have major ramifications for the development of life on Earth around this time, and a more accurate date for this unconformity can better explain the sequence of events that spurred one of the major adaptive radiations in history, the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE), a major ecological change related to the rise of the Paleozoic fauna. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Newby, Sean Modeling Crystallization of Basalt Magmas Along the Reykjanes Ridge http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80537 Modeling Crystallization of Basalt Magmas Along the Reykjanes Ridge Schultz, Rachel M. The Reykjanes Ridge is a section of the Mid-Atlantic ridge located south of Iceland and extending to the south west from the Reykjanes Peninsula. This ridge is interesting because it intersects a mantle plume centered beneath Iceland and therefore provides the opportunity to study how magma plumbing systems are affected by the additional heat provided by a mantle plume. Geophysical, geochemical and petrological studies show that along the ridge towards Iceland the oceanic crust thickens and that pre-eruptive magmatic water contents increase. To understand magma crystallization and crustal accretion along the Reykjanes Ridge, parent melt compositions were selected from glasses sampled from different segments of the ridge. The melt compositions generated by crystallization of these parents were calculated at different pressures and magma water contents using the program Petrolog3. The calculated melt compositions were compared with the natural compositions of glasses collected from the different ridge segments. In the southern section of the Reykjanes, liquids generated by crystallization at low pressures, about 100 MPa, and low water contents generally fit the compositional variations shown by natural samples. These results are consistent with those found for other parts of the global ridge system. However, the compositions of glasses from the northern part of the ridge are not consistent with an origin solely by crystallization at low pressures and low water contents. Compositional variations for these samples is best explained by crystallization of one parent composition at different pressures and water contents, suggesting the presence of complex plumbing systems. These results indicate that the vertical extent of magma plumbing systems correlates with crustal thickness, and that accretion of oceanic crust occurs over a range of depths. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Schultz, Rachel M. Carbon-14 Plant Evidence of mid-Holocene Quelccaya Ice Cap Margin Fluctuations http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80465 Carbon-14 Plant Evidence of mid-Holocene Quelccaya Ice Cap Margin Fluctuations Stahl, Henry The North Lake Lobe of the Quelccaya Ice Cap in southern Peru represents a wholly unique location for reconstructing paleoclimate conditions. At this location, plant samples were preserved in-situ beneath the advancing glacial ice, and since 2004 have been collected as the ice retreats. The ages of the collected samples were obtained through radiocarbon dating methods. Samples were collected at the surface and at depth. The fine-grained nature of the matrix surrounding the preserved buried samples indicates that several flood events occurred at these sites between ~6,630 cal yr BP and ~6450 cal yr BP due to the ice damming of a lake above the sites. The temporal relationships of the samples were analyzed using a density kernel derivative function, and several groups of significantly related surface samples were determined. We were then able to map several successive advancing ice margins from ~6431 cal yr BP to ~4565 cal yr BP using the temporospatial data of the different sample groups. Comparing the findings of the advancing ice margins to regional climatic records, we determined that the principal driver of the Quelccaya Ice Cap behavior is temperature change, rather than changes in precipitation. Therefore, the advancement seen at the North Lake Lobe of the Quelccaya Ice Cap is another indicator of cooling regional temperatures in South America during the mid-Holocene. When compared to extensive temperature records from locations around the world, the North Lake Lobe advancement supports the hypothesis that a global cooling event occurred during the mid-Holocene. 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z Stahl, Henry The cathodoluminescence study of a lead ore and a critical assessment of cathodoluminescence as a tool in ore microscopy http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80198 The cathodoluminescence study of a lead ore and a critical assessment of cathodoluminescence as a tool in ore microscopy Marchese, David Several thin sections and polished sections of a lead ore deposit were studied under transmitted and reflected light, and under cathode-ray bombardment. Through cathodolurninescence, compositional variations, not observable with the petrographic microscope, .were discovered in grains of cerussite.

During the Illinoian ice advance, large volumes of glacial outwash were carried east from the ice front near the present Madison Twp. Accumulation of outwash to an elevation of over 900 feet blocked the Teays valley forming a lake in Wakatomika Valley, a tributary to the north. This lake became filled with fine sediments and some spillover occurred at a low spot in the surrounding hills, creating an outlet 2.4 miles to the east of the former stream course. Wisconsin ice advances again blocked the westvvard flowing streams. Headward cutting by Wakatomika Creek pirated a stream in Jackson Twp. to the north. A heavy sediment load and high stream gradient eroded the Black Hand Sandstone comprising the valley walls to form rock terraces and speeding the down cutting of the outlet near Ashcraft Ford at an elevation of 760 feet. Outwash carried by the stream was deposited as terraces due to lower stream gradient and broader flood plain of the lower valley. Piracy of the stream to the east resulted in the deposition of a terrace which intermittently isolated the former stream valley, creating a backwater in which fine sediments accumulated. Postglacial stream action removed some of these deposits and alluvial deposits from the present valley floor. 1978-03-01T00:00:00Z Mallory, Charles W. Handwerk, Roger H.

A suite of rocks from the Kings Canyon Shear Zone, located in the Northgate fluorspar district in Jackson county, Colorado, was made available for study by Dr. John F. Sutter, Ohio State University. The investigation of these rocks was limited to the mineralogical and textural changes observed by the use of the petrographic microscope and by x-ray diffraction. Previous studies by Dr. Sutter have been mainly concerned with K/Ar age dating and the geochemistry of these cataclastically deformed rocks. His findings show a decrease in apparent age of tt1e rock from both sides of the shear zone toward the center, and he attributes this to increasing neomineralization toward the center of the shear zone. The samples of cataclastic rock in the suite are, for the most part, derived from a common parent rock type, a hornblende gneiss. The rocks sampled occur at various locations within the shear zone, and they exhibit very well the changing degrees of cataclastic degradation such as granulation, recrystallization, and neomineralization. Intergranular and intragranular strain features are apparent in all the samples. Three samples, which occur in the central portion of the shear zone, have a very different texture, mineralogy, and chemistry than the other samples of cataclastic rock in the shear zone. The apparent K/Ar ages of these anomalous samples also, according to Dr. Sutter, do not conform with the ages of adjacent cataclastic rocks which were derived from the hornblende gneiss. Some extra emphasis was made in this study to determine the origin of these rocks on the bases of mineralogy and texture. In general, all samples show increasing recrystallizatiJn and neomineralization as they approach the center of the shear zone. 1972-06-01T00:00:00Z Lund, Gary A.

The Cross Creek drainage area can be divided into an upper portion largely unaffected by strip mine activity and a lower portion in which several major tributaries run directly through abandoned mines to feed the creek. Essentially all the heavy mining of the area adjacent to the creek and within its drainage basin ceased approximately 10 years ago. A study of several selected elements contained in water samples from areas both above and below the mines, as well as other parameters, indicates that the Cross Creek area has nearly completely recovered from the effects of mining. Analysis was also made for toxic trace metals as part of a water quality study and significant concentrations were not detectable. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z Sill, Keith Petrologic analysis of shallow marine, Lower Cretaceous, Edwards limestones, in the Ohio State sedimentary rock collection http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80187 Petrologic analysis of shallow marine, Lower Cretaceous, Edwards limestones, in the Ohio State sedimentary rock collection Shives, Eric A. 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z Shives, Eric A.

This was contrary to the fairly consistent ratio of 7 to 10 that Leopold and Wolman dis covered.

My data would support this contention. 1978-01-01T00:00:00Z Searle, Jack Aggradation in drainage basins adjacent to unreclaimed strip mines in Gallia, Ohio http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80184 Aggradation in drainage basins adjacent to unreclaimed strip mines in Gallia, Ohio Schwartz, David Lee In the last twenty five years, large amounts of a sandy material were deposited on floodplains adjacent to strip mined lands due to the abrupt exposure of numerous spoil banks. The hydrometer technique is used to show a distinct difference of grain sizes between the old alluvial soil, and the aggrading material from eroding spoil banks in Gallia County, Ohio. The upper layer, or recent alluvium is classified texturally as a sandy loam, loamy sand and a sand. The lower layer is a loam, or silt loam. Aggradation rates in drainage basins in Gallia County were calculated by using areas, sediment volumes, and the universal soil loss equation. The lithology of particle sizes greater than 2 mm 1 in the upper aggrading layer is extremely similar to the disturbed bedrock in Gallia County. By the use of the soil-loss equation, it was estimated that J85to 444· tons/acre/year is being eroded from spoil slopes in a test drainage basin in the Addison quadrangle. Results indicate that83,436 to 96,326 tons of soil per year are being eroded from the test drainage basin. Without reclamation, continued erosion would allow an additional accumulation of 2.2 feet per 25years.i 1979-03-01T00:00:00Z Schwartz, David Lee Trace metal concentrations and their relationship to geologic source http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80182 Trace metal concentrations and their relationship to geologic source Schipper, Mark 1975-01-01T00:00:00Z Schipper, Mark Conodont biostratigraphy of the Lenoir Limestone (Middle Ordovician) in the Friendsville Thrust Belt, eastern Tennessee http://hdl.handle.net/1811/80183 Conodont biostratigraphy of the Lenoir Limestone (Middle Ordovician) in the Friendsville Thrust Belt, eastern Tennessee Schmidt, Martin Allen The facies relationships of the lowermost Middle Ordovician Lenoir Limestone in the Knoxville, Tennessee area have been interpeted in numerous conflicting ways.

Samples obtained out of a carbonate concretion from the upper Olentangy shale were analysed using x-ray methods and insoluble residue techniques. Determined were composition, the Fe content, the Sr content, and the percent insoluble residue. The carbonate mineral in the concretion was identified by x-ray diffraction to be ferroan dolomite. This finding contradicts a much earlier attempted chemical study of a concretion from the lower Olentangy shale that found calcite to be the main carbonate mineral. The calculated average concentration of the other minerals and clay minerals present in the concretion is given below in units of percent: Ferroan Dolomite---------- 69.41 Quartz-------------------- 8.3 Illite -------------------- 14.00 Kaolinite & Chlorite ------ 4.10 Others*-------------------- 4.19 TOTAL 100.00 *Pyrite, Montmorillonite, and other mixed-layer clays. It was concluded that the concretion was fairly homogeneous in its Sr content, and in its Fe content when corrected for the pyrite that caused higher values for Fe on the outside and in the center. The concentration of FeO in the samples was compatable with those values of FeO in ferroan dolomites given by Deer, Howie, and Zussman (1962). The concretion showed a decrease in the carbonate content toward the outside, with the insoluble residue content increasing in the same direction. This is perhaps due to the occurrence of pyrite here, or by the assimilation of sediments on compaction. 1975-06-01T00:00:00Z Olson, Gregory A.

Are you tired of all the dos and don'ts you're taught about dating and sex?
Are you bored with purity rings and catchy slogans that preach abstinence until marriage?
What happens when pressure to go the next step becomes unavoidable?
Take a little advice from someone who has been there and NOT done that. Many books about sexual purity speak to men, but few-if any-speak to young women. Lindsey Nicole Isham boldly fills that gap with No Sex in the City, the brutally honest and often hilarious story of Lindsey's quest for sexual purity in the face of an impure culture, baffled peers, and sexual desire.
"No Sex in the City will challenge single women to respect themselves and draw near to God
regardless of what their past looks like.
It will be powerful, significant, and critical in helping young women live a virtuous life."
~Bill McCartney~ Former Head Football Coach at University of Colorado,
CEO & Founder of Promise Keepers
"No Sex in the City is a must read for single women!
Read this book individually, with your girlfriends, or with your book club."
~Gwen Smith~ Co-founder of Girlfriends in God and author of Broken into Beautiful
"No Sex in the City is pure Lindsey.
Real, edgy, and in your face biblical truth about a topic we all need to hear only the truth about.
Everyone who is dating needs to read this book and take its message to heart."
~Miles McPherson~ Pastor of the Rock Church, San Diego, CA

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
July 6, 2010
The impending departure from CNN of news anchor Campbell Brown, a convert to Judaism, has been largely overshadowed by the recent announcement that (Jewish) talk show host Larry King is also going to leave CNN this fall, though he might continue to host specials for the cable news network.
|Campbell Brown waving goodbye to CNN. (Actually, this photo was taken in 2008, but her forthright honesty about leaving CNN is equally jaunty and cheerful.) Photo: Reuters/Mario Anzuoni.
King's show has been declining in the ratings, but he says he is leaving to fulfill a desire to do other things and to spend more time with his family. Brown has been quite candid about her reasons for leaving this fall. She didn't want to be an opinionated news anchor or personality like those found on Fox News--conservatives like Bill O'Reilly or on MSNBC--liberals, like Keith Olbermann.
By coincidence, two persons previously profiled in this column (besides Brown) figure in Brown's coming on going. Brown's immediate predecessor in her prime time news anchor spot was Paula Zahn, who I profiled in Sept. 2007, just after her firing from CNN.
Brown's CNN time slot will be taken up by a new roundtable news show, co-hosted by Eliot Spitzer, 51,the (Jewish) former liberal Democratic governor of New York. I profiled Spitzer and his interfaith marriage in March 2008, shortly after Spitzer was forced to resign as New York's governor because of his admitted patronage of prostitutes.
About Zahn, I wrote in 2007:
"Straight newscasts like Zahn's have been dying in the ratings, while news shows with highly-opinionated anchors … have fared much better. Frankly, short of doing the news in the nude, there was little Zahn could do to bring up her ratings.
"Zahn, who isn't Jewish, has been married for 20 years to millionaire New York Jewish businessman Richard Cohen. In 2004, she told a Jewish women's group in Connecticut that she was raising her three children with Cohen in their father's faith…"
Zahn currently hosts the relatively high-rated true crime series, On the Case with Paula Zahn, on the Investigation Discovery cable channel.
In the same September 2007 column, I profiled Brown's personal and professional background and her marriage to political consultant Dan Senor, who is Jewish. The New York Times report of their wedding did not mention that Brown had studied to convert to Judaism under Orthodox auspices nor that the couple had a Jewish wedding. Not long after my column appeared, however, Brown spoke to the Cleveland Jewish News and discussed her conversion to Judaism and the fact that she and her husband had a Jewish wedding.
In late May 2010, Brown released this public statement about her impending departure from CNN:
Simply put, the ratings for my program are not where I would like them to be. It is largely for this reason that I am stepping down as anchor of CNN's Campbell Brown.…I have never had much tolerance for others' spin, so I can't imagine trying to stomach my own. The simple fact is that not enough people want to watch my program, and I owe it to myself and to CNN to get out of the way so that CNN can try something else.
As I said about Paula Zahn, there is nothing Brown could have done, "short of doing the news in the nude," to bring up the ratings of a non-partisan, straight news broadcast in the now highly partisan world of prime time cable news.
It is apparent, now, that Brown and Zahn--both talented, attractive and smart--were simply in the wrong spot at this moment in the history of cable TV news.
Spitzer, on the other hand, has proved himself to be a pretty good guest "talking head" on CNN over the past year. He puts forth a partisan viewpoint, but in an informed, rational way. He will be co-hosting his new show with Kathleen Parker, a respected conservative journalist. The focus will be on news analysis and the presentation of a variety of partisan viewpoints in a polite, "civilized" way.
I have a feeling that Spitzer is using this show as a stepping-stone to political rehabilitation. Already his reputation is recovering. He is certainly not old and, you never know, he may seek public office again—like a New York Senate seat if one should unexpectedly open up.
Back in August 2007, I wrote a brief column item about Corey Feldman, the (Jewish) former child actor. I wrote that Feldman and his friend, former child actor Corey Haim, who was also Jewish, were about to begin a new cable reality series. I discussed the "two Coreys" stale fame and how they now seemed to live their lives on reality TV. I noted that Feldman's 2003 interfaith wedding was a reality TV event, too.
All this info moved this site's former editor, Micah Sachs, to hilariously caption the item: "A Sure Sign of the Apocalypse."
Well, in the last three years, Feldman has chased fame in such a colossally cheesy way that I just had to provide you readers with an update. After you read this update, I think you'll agree with me that Feldman is this year's winner of the amoral hustler of the year award, entertainment division.
Feldman, now 38, was a competent child actor who starred-in several good teen-oriented '80s films, like Stand by Me and Lost Boys. However, he really hasn't been in a good scripted TV show or film as an adult. Reality TV is the way he has clung to fame.
In 2002-3, he appeared on the MTV reality show, The Surreal Life. Several weeks into the show, Feldman and his non-Jewish girlfriend, Susie Sprague, decided to get married on very short notice. Somehow, he managed to pull together a wedding ceremony in time for it to be on TV.
He and Susie got married as the MTV cameras rolled. The nuptials were presided over by a rabbi and former rap star M.C. Hammer, an ordained minister. It was the year-end extravaganza of the show.
Last year, Feldman and Sprague split up. (They have a son named Zen Feldman). Comics joked that Sprague decided to leave the has-been actor when she woke up one morning and couldn't remember who Corey Feldman was.
As one could predict, the Feldman/Sprague divorce is not proceeding amicably. There are disputes about custody rights and alimony for Sprague.
In 2007, as I said above, Feldman and Haim co-starred in The Two Coreys, a quasi-reality show. This cable series was mostly just plain boring. Occasionally, there were dramatic moments that might be described as tawdry or pathetic. These moments weren't a surprise; the whole show was crafted to milk drama out of Haim's long (real life) battle with drug addiction.
The show got steeply declining ratings and was canceled in the middle of its second season. The sad coda to the series was the drug overdose death of Corey Haim in March 2010.
But, for me, the topper came on June 26, 2010, when Feldman spoke at a sparsely attended for profit memorial service for Michael Jackson, organized by Jackson's mother. Feldman appeared dressed in a Michael Jackson outfit and, in his speech; he profusely praised the late singer.
Feldman, like a lot of other young people, was the object of Jackson's attention and friendship when he was an adolescent. Their relationship cooled down as Feldman grew up and ended for good in 2001. The final break reportedly came when Jackson did not respond to Feldman's somewhat outrageous request to send a private limo to get Feldman out of New York City right after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
After the break, Feldman and Jackson never spoke again.
In 2005, Jackson was arrested for child molestation. Just as jury selection began, Feldman gave a long interview about Jackson to ABC News. In the interview, Feldman recalled how Jackson showed him a book of nude photos when he was around 14 years old.
In 1993, however, when the first allegations of child abuse by Jackson surfaced, Feldman, then 22, vehemently denied that Jackson had ever done anything "inappropriate" in his presence.
It's hard to know what the truth is about the photos, but the interview looked opportunistic.
Jackson, as everybody knows, was ultimately acquitted.
Feldman is now singing with a rock band and performing some tribute numbers to Jackson, dressed in the trademark outfits of the late King of Pop and trying to dance like him. I found this repulsive after his apparent betrayal of Jackson to the press.
Here's a Youtube video of Feldman "doing Jackson" earlier this month in Oregon. The music starts about the 1:20 mark in. After I saw this video, I was moved to utter an expression that first became popular during Feldman's heyday, the 1980s: "Gag me with a spoon."

HORTON'S GROCERY owners Richard and Velma Horton have a laugh with a patron while regular customers Bo Buckner, left, and Gerald Stevens look on Friday.
By MADELYN TROYANEK, Staff Horton's is not the sort of country store that strangers would look at twice.
It's not gaudy enough.
Hard-packed dirt serves as a parking lot for the cinder block building. There's even an empty spot where the gas pumps used to be.
Horton's store has been like a second home for generations who built their homes, raised their families, moved on or stayed put in Mill Creek. It's been a refuge for a community more comfortable with the pace of rural life than with the chaos of a rapidly developing world that's closing in on all sides.
That bit of old Florida is about to change. In just a few weeks, the growth will overwhelm Horton's. Paradise is about to be paved over and replaced with a strip mall.
Those who grew up near Horton's fondly remember what it was like when they were young, riding to the store on their horses, tethering them to an old oak out front. To them, it was their little slice of paradise, out there at the intersection of State Road 16 and Pacetti Road.
"I'd leave home on my horse, strike a gallop and not stop till I got to the store," Allan Roberts said. "Going for a cold drink and to hang out."
Richard Pacetti used to stock shelves and pump gas at the store.
"You want to tell somebody something, come on down here and wait a few minutes," he said. "They'll be here."
In those days, herds of dairy cows and cracker cattle grazed next to lush fields set aside for potatoes and other crops.
New life, new career
Richard and Velma Horton were newlyweds looking for a place to live in 1956 when Dan Pacetti said they could rent an apartment at the store -- if they also bought the store.

THE MILL CREEK community grocery store, Horton's Grocery, will soon be leveled and replaced by a strip mall.
By MADELYN TROYANEK, Staff
"This is a community store," said Richard Horton, working the hand-cranked cash register that he prefers to the electric model nearby. "There's a difference between that and a convenience store.
"A community store, you know everyone. You talk to them and visit, ask how they're doing. A convenience store, seems like the faster they can get you out the door, the better they like it.
"I'm amazed when I go to other places, and they don't seem to know you're there. Or care."
In recent years, the store has fallen under the combined shadows of the World Golf Village, another crop of condos and a new school. The growth has brought unimagined congestion to the country crossroad.
"The way things are changing in our area, we're not able to keep up with the pace of things," Richard Horton said. "We can't conform to the new way, so we'd might as well sell."
Inside the door is a sign that reads, "Everyone here brings happiness. Some when they enter, some when they leave."
The shelves are filled with everything from hardware to canned goods. A skeleton hangs from a support post.
"My wife is old enough not to do these tricks, but she was born doing stuff on people," Horton said, explaining the significance of a fake skeleton in a country store. "It runs in the family.
"My daughter bought it for my wife. She might just dress him up, put a straw hat on him and put him in an outhouse toilet somewhere."
The Hortons have three children -- Linda, Richard, or "Ricky," and David.
"We grew up with great freedom in the community," Linda Horton said. "We all look out for each other. We all look out for each other's kids.
"And we have all raised some outstanding kids."
"You'll never have coffee as good or in a better place," said Roberts, who is hosting a "Retirement of the Hortons" party Dec. 4 at his home on State Road 16. The festivities will run from 5 p.m. " 'til the cows come home."
"I'm sorry to see it go, but I'm happy for Richard," said Don Robinson, a retired potato farmer.
When Robinson started farming in 1976, "Cash flow was a problem. We used to charge all our fuel down here, and he would carry us six months at a time. He'd say, 'Take what you need, pay me when you get it.' He's been a real friend."
A 'great environment'
Tammy Werninck moved to Mill Creek from Jacksonville 19 years ago. It didn't take long before she was helping out at the store whenever an extra hand was needed.
"It's a wonderful place to raise your children," she said. "It's been a really great environment.
"It's sad for us, but hopefully it'll be good for Richard and Velma."
Richard Horton, who turned 69 on Thursday, isn't sure how he's going to take to retirement.
"I don't fish or hunt, and I enjoy it here, as you probably can tell," he said, ringing up another neighbor's purchase. "I suppose I'll help them do cows and mess around like that. I'll do some neighborly deeds."
John Adams had parked out front, looking for some coffee and a warm greeting to start the day. He owns Adams Tractor & Landscaping. He's also a command sergeant major in the National Guard and will be going to Afghanistan in May.
"This is the place we would go to hear from John, find out what's going on," said Roberts. "That might not happen now."
When the last cup of coffee is poured, and the last bag of sugar goes out the door, more than a store will be closed. It will be as though someone turned out the lights on the community.
"No need of us living here anymore," Adams said. "We all know each other from this store. You build any other kind of station, you're not going to have the same kind of community atmosphere we have here now.
"This will be a knife in the heart."

Legal Question in Business Law in Louisiana
Is it legal for a restaurant to ban employees, on their days off, from sitting in certain areas of the restaurant?
Asked on 1/06/13, 2:58 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
