A conversation about West Virginia football usually centers around one of two topics — an almost unstoppable passing game, led by Heisman Trophy candidate Geno Smith at quarterback and wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin, or an almost non-existent defense that is allowing 37.3 points and 496 yards per game.
The running game? That only comes up if discussing days gone by and guys like Steve Slaton, Noel Devine, Avon Cobourne, Quincy Wilson or Amos Zereoue.
But running the football, as it's been since the early days of Mountaineer football, may still be the main key to victory.
In a season-and-a-half with Dana Holgorsen at the helm, WVU has won 14 games and lost four. When it has rushed for 150 or more yards it's 6-0. When it's been held under 150 on the ground, WVU is 8-4.
In their four losses over the last two seasons, WVU has averaged just over 98 yards rushing. Last week against Texas Tech — a 49-14 loss, the Mountaineers' first of the season — WVU was held to 130 on the ground, and it paid the price.
On paper, the Mountaineers have plenty of capable athletes to run the football. Andrew Buie, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, went for 207 yards and two touchdowns just two weeks ago in a win at Texas. Dustin Garrison topped the 200-yard mark last year, racking up 291 yards on the ground against Bowling Green as a freshman. And senior Shawne Alston, the starter when the season began, rushed for 123 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the season-opener against Marshall — that performance following a 77-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Orange Bowl against Clemson to end 2011.
But Holgorsen hasn't had the advantage of playing with the three of them all year. Garrison, who had offseason knee surgery after suffering an injury during Orange Bowl preparation, still isn't back to 100 percent.
The WVU coaches, in fact, had considered trying to give the Pearland, Texas native a medical redshirt after he missed the first two games of 2012. When it became clear that depth was going to be a concern, though, he came into the game against Maryland, ending that possibility.
Garrison has been slowly eased back into action. He's played in each of the last four games but has just 17 total carries for 84 yards over that stretch. He was most active near the end of the loss to the Red Raiders last week, carrying the ball nine times for 42 yards and a touchdown.
"It looks like he's handled it fine," said Holgorsen of the progression back into the lineup. "He is not where he was last year, but he continues to get better."
Alston was healthy when the season began, but he suffered a thigh bruise in the second game against James Madison, after carrying the ball 14 times for 62 yards and a touchdown. The Hampton, Va., product hasn't seen the field since.
"He is day-to-day," said Holgorsen of the senior's status. "It is frustrating, but what can you do? Do you want me to cry about it?"
Buie, the smallest of the three backs, has been the only one to stay healthy all year. He's rushed for 504 yards and five touchdowns on 104 carries, but he managed just 71 yards last week against Texas Tech, and his 5-foot-9 frame isn't suited for blocking quite as well as some of the other backs.
The three main WVU backs have very different skill sets, and the Mountaineers would be the most dangerous if they could get all three backs on the field at the same time. But with Alston and Garrison still far from 100 percent, that might not happen anytime soon.
"We will put the other running backs in and try and get them better," said Holgorsen. "Dustin played more last week than he had, and he looked a little bit better. We will keep playing them.
"I can't do anything about it. I can't put them on waivers and bring somebody else in here. We coach what we have, and that is how we have always approached it. We are not going to use it as an excuse. We are going to line them up and coach them and try and get their mindset right."
No. 4 Kansas State, which will visit Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown Saturday at 7 p.m. for a showdown with No. 17 WVU that will air live on FOX, is third in the Big 12 in rushing defense, allowing 103.7 yards per game.

Brad Speidel will talk about the state Department of Fish and Wildlife's rockfish tagging project at Thursday meeting of the South Sound chapter of Puget Sound Anglers.
For the past three decades, department staffers have ventured out onto the ocean to catch and tag thousands of black rockfish. The information from the tiny tags and that provided by volunteer anglers, helps the agency make decisions to manage the rockfish resource.
The coastal recreational fishery harvests 60,000-80,000 fish annually.
Speidel will discuss this important fishery and the ongoing project work.
The meeting is free and open to the public. The group's general meeting starts at 7 p.m. with the program at 8 p.m. It will be held at the Lacey Community Center, 6729 Pacific Ave. SE, Lacey. For more information, go to sschapterpsa.com.Compiled by Jeffrey P. Mayor, firstname.lastname@example.com

If you follow the recipe the way it is, this is a 1*, however, with the addition of the following you will have better results. I based my rating on those additions. You need to make the Captain Crunch cereal very, very fine. With that also grind up very fine regular Corn Flakes. Mix those together. Also make an egg wash to dip the chicken into. Finally, mix a little flour, garlic powder, onion powder and freshly ground black pepper, together. Order should be: egg wash, flour mixture, cereal mixture. Also, I fry my tenders instead of baking them.

Okay guys I got it. This recipe rocks!!! I read some of the reviews on this recipe and the one thing I noticed is when people said that they had a problem making the captain crunch stick to the chicken. Well I solved it! On this site there is a recipe for oven fried chicken. the recipe calls for crushed ritz crackers and mayonaise, yes mayonaise. Well after cooking it I found that it really makes sense. Mayo is an oil and it helps the crushed crackers stick to the chicken. Well that is exactly what I did here. I crushed the captain crunch in a blender and coated the chicken (bone in)with the mayonaise and then coated it with the captain crunch and basically oven fried it like shake n bake for 45 min. and BAM! there you got it, captain crunch oven fried chicken. The flavor it incredible, if you choose to make this, do like me and get past the mayo, make it and enjoy it. Trust me your family will love this.
I tried making the chicken with an egg wash and flour before rolling in the captain crunch, this chicken turned out wonderful with those recommendations. I used a mixture of spicy mustard and mayonnaise for a sauce. Will definetly hold onto this recipe!!

FAA No Longer Needs to Close 149 Contract Towers
- By GovExec Staff
- May 10, 2013
- Leave a comment
The Federal Aviation Administration will no longer need to close 149 contract airport control towers in June, the Transportation Department announced Friday.
Department officials determined that the Reducing Flight Delays Act signed by President Obama last week allows the transfer of adequate funds to keep the towers open through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. That same act allowed the FAA to avoid air traffic controller furloughs.
The agency had faced a number of lawsuits attempting to block the contract tower closures, which would have primarily affected less heavily traveled airports.
In addition, the recently signed law will allow FAA to restore some funding for other programs, LaHood said. The agency will shift $10 million back to the NextGen air traffic control modernization program, and $11 million to "partially restore the support of infrastructure in the national airspace system," he said.

Sealing of the remaining 110km of the Hann Highway (Kennedy Development Road) between Hughenden and The Lynd will provide for an all-weather second access to the TNQ region in the event that the Bruce Highway is disrupted.
Sealing of the highway opens a more direct and cost efficient route to southern markets, and facilitates increased regional tourism.
The attached letter template is a suggested letter you could write to your local and federal member in support of the sealilng of the Hann Highway. This initiative came out of a Hann Highway Action Group meeting at Oak Park on 3 July 2014. Please feel free to amend this as you see fit.
Advance Cairns acknowledges the work of the Hann Highway Action Group, the Etheridge and Flinders Shires, Local, State and Federal members in the region in support of this work, and the many others in the community who see the strategic and economic benefit of sealing the Hann Hgihway for the region.

NORMAN — The four-day trip to Orlando, Fla., turned out to be an educational experience for Oklahoma. It went 2-1, beating UTEP in its opening game in the Old Spice Classic and closing with a victory over West Virginia to secure third place.
However, it was that 72-47 loss to Gonzaga where the enlightenment occurred.
"We got physically whipped; I mean really beat up," OU coach Lon Kruger said of the loss to the Bulldogs. "I thought it showed in our play on Sunday. We really responded well to that. We learned from it. Gonzaga pushed us all over the place and then we really battled West Virginia on even ground."
The Sooners (4-1) left Florida playing like the team they plan to be.
Amath M'Baye and Romero Osby led the way. M'Baye scored a career-high 19 points against the Mountaineers and pulled down six rebounds. Osby fought through foul trouble to score eight points and yanked down six boards.
Osby was named to the Old Spice Classic's all-tournament team. M'Baye ended up being named the Big 12's newcomer of the week.
OU needs it to carry over. It heads to Tulsa to face Oral Roberts (3-3) at 7 tonight at the Mabee Center. It's one of two games OU will have this week. Northwestern (La.) State visits Lloyd Noble Center on Friday.
Getting the big men going is something the Sooners need to see more of this week. One trait M'Baye, Osby and backups Andrew Fitzgerald and Tyler Neal share is they can create matchup problems on the offensive end. None are traditional back-to-basket low post players. They can all hit mid-range jumpers. M'Baye and Osby both had success beating post defenders off the dribble in Florida.
"We have the opportunity to create mismatches," Osby said. "When that happens teams have to double-team us and that creates opportunities for our shooters. I think when we play that way it creates a lot of easy shots without having to force anything."

Blue plaque to remember Olympic hero Chris Finnegan
8:04pm Friday 2nd November 2012 in News By Priyal Dadhania
FORMER OLYMPIC gold medallist Chris Finnegan was remembered at the unveiling of a blue plaque at Hayes Boxing Club, where he learnt his sport.
Finnegan MBE (1944-2009), born in Uxbridge, won the middleweight division in the Mexico Games of 1968.
His brother, Terence, introduced him to the club and he became lifetime president there in 1999.
Club vice-president Arthur Clements said: "The way the Olympics went this year has increased the number of people at the club but now, when young people go there and see it has produced a champion, there is even more excitement.
"It was certainly important to remember him as he was a role model for a lot of young boys, and sport managed to keep them from going astray."
Council leader Ray Puddifoot said: "The borough is very proud to honour Chris in this way and it is hoped he will continue to be an inspiration to up-and-coming young boxers."
This is the first blue plaque put up by Hillingdon Council that commemorates a sports personality.

Sen. George McGovern—the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972—died Sunday in Sioux Falls, S.D.
He was 90.
McGovern—who stood out for his liberal views and opposition to the Vietnam War—served in the House of Representatives from 1957-1961 and in the U.S. Senate from 1963-1981. He was also a decorated bomber pilot in World War II.
McGovern gained the national spotlight when he became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee against Richard Nixon. However, McGovern won just 17 electoral votes in the presidential election.
In a statement, President Barack Obama said McGovern "dedicated his life to serving the country he loved."
He is survived by his three daughters and 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
How did Sen. George McGovern shape the Democratic Party and the U.S.? Tell us in the comments.

I hung the TV on the wall then gathered the components around the low 18" TV stand and got rid of the 4 foot tall rack that made a big difference, it finally sounded that way I feel it should.
2B's are sold today so I have to settle with one SDA for now until I get better living conditions.
CRS+ is compact, small, more manageable and still has a lot of SDA to offer.
My living room is still crowded and I'll decide soon what goes where but CRS+ will stay for now at least in the house if not in living room.

Mike.....has anybody really tried this, and said there is some kind of major difference???
I have a slanted rack, there are 2 metal support bars, but are also slanted. The only thing that sticks out in front of the SDA's is the bottom rack which has the power amp and this is not much at all, and thats pretty much sitting as close to the floor as you can get. The rest of the rack sits behind the front of the SDA's..is all open, and i don't even have stuff right now in 2 of the racks, I only have the CD player on top and the preamp right below. Now the room i have the 1C's in is 17X30....the speakers have never sounded as good. Now if i moved my rack out of the middle of the SDA's and tried to put it on a side wall. I think i would have to put it at least 10 feet down the side wall. If i don't..the SDA's even being a good foot and a half off the sidewall are still fireing pretty much into the rack..which i'm not sure is a good thing.
Even if i went with the IC thing, and left the power amp sitting between the SDA's..I went from a 1 and a half foot IC cable to a 15foot IC cable...which i'm not so sure is great. I'm really not sure you could tell the difference in the first place.
I think this is really getting down to audiophile nit picking here, where the cost far out ways any advantage. I think as long as you have an open rack and the rack is behind the front of the SDA's
I just don't think there is much of a problem....just my 2 cents on this.
The location of gear that I spoke of in the previous post is a common set-up for a lot of folks, SDA's or not. btw, I envy your room size.

WOW..ok Mike..yeah i have to say you have problem there. But your speakers look really close to the wall?? Mine are 1 foot off the back wall and work fine. Not that i think thats going to put them in front of your cab. Dude thats really big and massive. I will try to post a pick of my set up if i can, it's taken from my seating position which is 15 feet back. Not that does you any good..but, i really have no interest in trying to move the rack..just doesn't seem worth it.
Last edited by naturallight; 03-20-2013 at 08:36 PM.
Well a tall rack IMHO will react the same as a wall if it is out further than the front of the speakers and we all know about the 3 feet from a wall rule. As long as it is even or behind the front of the speakers and 3 feet tall or less it should be okay.
Last edited by PolkieMan; 03-20-2013 at 08:41 PM.
I have the 3.1's six inches from the back wall, not as close as it might appear. I know I have to come up with a different option for gear. I have an open, glass shelved rack that I've used for years, but I picked up a very heavy TT that needs a sturdy base, so I pulled out that old rack.
I've got a plan, just need to get busy!
SDA CRS+4.1TL's/Modded SDA 1C's/Modded SDA SRS 3.1TL's/Modded SDA SRS 2.3TL's
That Turntable looks very heavy duty, Mike
Mike...altho that pic dose not look like a good rack per say..it was taken 15 feet away,
The rack is beyond stupid heavy..the shelf on this would easy take your TT. I can't lift this rack.
If there is nothing in the rack I can move it around the room sort of....the spikes gig in and i kind of swing it around. Beleive me...you could put your TT on this rack..no problem.
Yup...your right...if you need 21 inches for just the feet...my rack could not cut it, it's only 19" +
so not sure to say about that...LOL
BUT>>> if your saying the whole table is 21"....and the feet can fit in a 19" plus rack...well then thats another story....just saying.

TRAVERSE CITY — Editor's Note: Part of a series of stories about people, places and events that made news in the Grand Traverse region in 2012.
The Grand Traverse County Road Commission ended the year with a few thousand dollars more for road repairs — after agency officials limited how much money road commissioners could collect for attending meetings.
The new policy mainly affected Commissioners David Taylor and Marc McKellar, who together were on pace to collect almost $8,000 in extra pay for attending meetings and events such as ribbon cuttings and social gatherings.
Road commissioners turned off the cash spigot in June by limiting commissioners to charging for just three meetings — or per diems — a month at $35 per meeting.
It's a temporary cap that expires by year's end, but road Commissioner John Nelson said he plans to propose a new cap in 2013. The road board's new meeting policy, meanwhile, should eliminate any questionable meeting charges.
"It's pretty tight and pretty explicit as to what meetings are allowed," Nelson said. "It pretty much limits it to government-type meetings."
McKellar charged the road commission for phone calls, meeting with staff and outside vendors, and attending three social networking events for business people where food and alcohol were provided.
McKellar defended the social meetings in June as necessary to represent the road commission.
"I don't charge for everything, but if I have a meeting and sit down face-to-face, or a telephone meeting that takes half an hour, you bet, because that's cutting into my personal time," he said.
McKellar did not return calls seeking comment for this story.
Taylor declined to comment.
The county's five road commissioners already earn a $5,500 a year salary, plus health, life, and pension benefits to attend one meeting a month. McKellar, the chairman, earns $6,500. He accumulated an extra $3,395 in meeting pay in 2011 and another $1,860 for the first five months of 2012, putting him on pace to top $4,400 in per diems for the year.
Taylor charged the road commission $2,950 in 2011 when he was board chairman and $1,440 through May. At that pace he would have topped $3,400.
No other road commissioner made it to $1,000 in meeting charges for 2011.
The large spike in meeting charges caused auditors to take a closer look at the bills of all commissioners to see if they in fact attended meetings. Auditors found several meetings in which they couldn't confirm a road commissioner's attendance, but neither could they say the commissioner in question wasn't there.
The audit found no evidence of wrongdoing or violations of the road board's broad per diem policy that was in effect in 2011.
"As an issue it's pretty much gone and over with, done and taken care of," Nelson said.

Title: The role of neutrophil extracellular traps in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases
Host: Jennifer Anolik
Research Abstract: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are released via a novel form of cell death called NETosis. NETs, consisting of a chromatin meshwork decorated with antimicrobial peptides, play an important role in the innate response to microbial infections. Recent evidence suggests that NETs may also promote deleterious autoimmune responses and directly damage tissues. Experimental evidence suggests that NETs participate in pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Indeed, exaggerated NETosis or diminished NET clearance likely increases risk of autoreactivity to NET components. This seminar will review and discuss the mechanisms of NET formation and putative role of NETosis in autoimmunity and organ damage, with a focus on systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis
Co-Sponsored by the Development Center for AIDS Research

Microbiology Graduate Student Hosted Seminar
Associate Professor of Microbiology
Cornell University
Title: To be announced
Student Contact : Catlyn Blanchard
Research Interests: Epulopiscium spp. are the largest known heterotrophic bacteria. Individual, cigar-shaped cells can reach lengths in excess of 600 µm; large enough tobe seen with the naked eye. In terms of cell volume, Epulopisciumcan be asmuch as a million times larger than a bacterium the size of Escherichia coli. Another unusual feature of these big bacteria is the manner in which they reproduce. While most bacteria undergo binary fission - growing to about twice their starting size and dividing into two equivalent daughter cells -- an Epulopiscium cell can produce multiple offspring intracellularly. These internal offspring grow inside the mother cell until they completely fill the mother cell cytoplasm. The offspring cells eventually burst through the mother cell envelope and are released. Morphological and phylogenetic evidence suggests that this novel form of reproduction evolved from endospore formation. The image below shows a particularly large Epulopiscium cell that contains two large offspring.
Member - St. Jude Faculty

Title: "Regulation of the Cell Envelope Stress Response Network in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by the MprAB Two-Component System"
Host: Martin Pavelka
Seminar Abstract : Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogen of global significance, and is the causative agent of the human respiratory disease tuberculosis. In the vast majority of individuals infected, the bacterium establishes a persistent but asymptomatic infection that can last the lifetime of the host. A key aspect of M. tuberculosis survival during latency is the ability of the bacterium to recognize and resist cell envelope stressors that are encountered during long-term persistence with granulomatous lesions of the lung. I will discuss a key regulatory system, the MprAB two-component system, for its role in cell envelope stress resistance in M. tuberculosis. I will also describe how MprAB integrates with two other regulatory factors to collectively regulate the cell envelope stress response network in M. tuberculosis.
Co-Sponsored by the Developmental Center for AIDS Research
Darrell J. Irvine, Ph.D.
Professor of Biological Engineering & Materials Science
The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research
Title: To be announced
Host: Stephen Dewhurst
Research Interest: Our laboratory works at the interface of materials science and immunology. We use synthetic model systems to study immune cell biology and synthesize new materials for vaccines and immunotherapy. Building on our work on the mechanisms of T and B cell migration, we have developed chemokine-releasing microparticles that are informing our research and may represent a new tool for immunotherapy. We are also studying nanoparticles to overcome some of the key challenges in immunotherapy.
Immunology Student Hosted Seminar
Associate Program Head - Graduate Program in Immunology
Harvard Medical School
Title: "Regulation of leukocyte function by the lymphoid stromal niche"
Student Contacts: Lisbeth Boule & Katie Lannan
Research Interests: The Turley Lab is interested in deciphering how the interactions between antigen presenting cells and CD4 and CD8 T cells can lead to tolerance or immunity. We study molecular and cellular aspects of antigen presentation in diseases such as type-1 diabetes, enteritis, and pancreatic cancer. Combining animal models of disease, multiparameter cytofluorimetry, and high resolution imaging technologies, we explore endocytosis, transport, and/or processing of antigen by multiple lineages of antigen presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and lymph node stromal cells. The broad goal of our work is to understand how the microenvironments of healthy, inflamed, and malignant tissues influence the biology of these key antigen presenting cells and their interactions with CD4 and CD8 T cells. Ultimately, elucidating the steps leading to primary immune responses against self-antigens should provide the necessary framework for enhancing this process in cancer and dampening it in autoimmune diseases.

Title: To be announced
Student Contacts: Lizbeth Boule & Katie Grimshaw
Researh Overview: How do we "know" when we have an infection? What are the receptors that alert us? How do we discriminate self from non-self, and why does the immune system sometimes attack our own cells and tissues? Why does it sometimes fail to eradicate infectious microbes? The tools of genetics have been used to address these questions, and answers have begun to emerge.
For more than a century, and in fact, since microbes were recognized as the cause of infections, it has been clear that mammals are genetically programmed to recognize them. Moreover, it has long been an obvious corollary that certain molecules of microbial origin must trigger a host response, and that specialized receptors of the host must mediate recognition of these molecules. This, after all, is how biological systems operate. But what were these receptors? A genetic approach was required to answer the question.
The Beutler laboratory systematically employs a forward genetic approach to identify
genes that are essential for the mammalian innate immune response, and to determine
their functions relative to one another. The forward genetic approach entails: (i) the induction of thousands of random germline point mutations on a defined genetic background (C57BL/6J) using N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU), (ii) the phenotypic screening of many thousands of mice for specific defects of immunity, and (iii) the positional cloning of those transmissible mutations that are detected. This classical genetic method does not depend upon hypotheses, nor upon assumptions about how innate immunity "should" work. Hence, it is unbiased, and errors of interpretation are extremely rare.
This listing includes selected seminars sponsored by other Departments/Centers which may be of interest to Microbiology students and faculty.

Established in 2001, the graduate program in Nineteenth-Century Studies developed from an effort by UNL faculty in eight humanities disciplines to create a curriculum building on longstanding strengths in the study of this fascinating and tumultuous period. Students trained in the program (either at the MA or PhD level) will emerge with a strong foundation in interdisciplinary inquiry that will enhance their teaching and research.
The NCS curriculum is built around two core courses, both of which are open to all UNL graduate students, regardless of departmental affiliation.
919: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Nineteenth Century, is a team-taught class offered each fall that grounds students in the interdisciplinary study of the "long" nineteenth century (roughly 1789-1914) in Britain, North America, and continental Europe.
918: Interdisciplinary Seminar in Nineteenth-Century Studies, probes a discrete theme in depth and is offered in the spring by a single faculty member. Recent versions of the course have focused on violence, manners and class, and the Victorian family.
To earn a specialization (available only to students in the three core departments: English, history, and modern languages), candidates must take 919 and 918 (though not necessarily in the same academic year) and three (for the MA) or six (for the PhD) additional hours of NCS-oriented coursework (which may include classes from the departments of music, art history, and theater). Moreover, the student's capstone project (thesis or dissertation) must have a nineteenth-century focus, subject to approval by the NCS steering committee.

Doctoral Level
12 hours of Nineteenth-Century Studies courses and a doctoral dissertation relating to Nineteenth-Century Studies, which the steering committee must approve.
Masters Level
9 hours of Nineteenth-Century Studies courses and a thesis or capstone master's project relating to Nineteenth-Century Studies.
The program will accept relevant coursework from music, art history, and theater.
To earn the Nineteenth-Century Studies specialization, you must be formally admitted to one of the participating programs.

On Monday, Nov. 4, Professor Andrew Graybill, Director of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies at Southern Methodist University, will present a public lecture, "The Red and the White: A Family Saga of the American West." An award-winning western historian, Professor Graybill will discuss interracial Native-white relationships as crucial to the social, cultural, economic, and political development of the trans-Mississippi West. His research centers on the marriage of Montana fur trader Malcolm Clarke and his Piegan Blackfeet wife, Coth-co-co-na, in mid-19th century Montana and traces the family's history through the first half of the 20th century as a lens to view the region's inter-racial society and culture. His lecture will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Auditorium.
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, Professor Angela Miller, a noted art historian at Washington University in St. Louis, will deliver a public lecture, "The Transnational Turn in American Art." An award-winning authority in landscape painting, regionalism, Whitman and Melville, and the reception of European art in the U.S., she will discuss her recent work as a scholar-in-residence in Berlin, Paris, and Washington, DC, on "the global turn" in American art history. Her lecture will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the Sheldon Museum Auditorium.
"Conversations across disciplines happen naturally in the NCS program. Through coursework, reading group meetings, and colloquia, it was easy for me to meet and learn about the research interests of faculty and fellow students outside of my department. As a result, I began asking more challenging questions of my work and pursing a more transnational focus. NCS doesn't just give lip service to interdisciplinary research; it is a space where it is fostered and supported."
Kim Banion, PhD candidate, English

Globe Sports Editor
Missouri Southern flirted with knocking off two of the MIAA's top women's basketball teams during the past week.
One week ago the Lions trailed second-place Central Missouri 60-56 with less than seven minutes left before falling 74-63. And on the road Wednesday night, the Lions trailed third-place Northeastern State 46-42 with three minutes left before being outscored 10-6 down the stretch and losing 56-48.
"Mental mistakes down the stretch hurt us … a player running the wrong play or passing to the wrong spot," Lions coach Maryann Mitts said. "We didn't get the looks I would have liked to close out the game.
"We're just not finishing games. That's what is disappointing, and I'm disappointed for them. We play about 35 minutes of great basketball and we're not able to close it out. That is what is frustrating."
The Lions are back at home tonight to battle fourth-place Emporia State in the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center, and the Lady Hornets are the hottest team in the league.
Wednesday night's 73-60 road victory over Central Oklahoma extended their winning streak to eight games overall and seven straight by double figures. It's the first time ESU has won seven in a row by at least 10 points in five seasons.
Laura Patrick topped five players in double figures with 17 points, two above her team-leading average. She scored 22 points in the Hornets' 68-52 home victory over Missouri Southern on Jan. 23.
The Lions led most of the first 14 minutes at Emporia State, and they later cut a 12-point, second-half deficit to five before being outscored 17-6 in the last six-plus minutes.
Dominique Mosley paced the Lions with 17 points, and Shatara Stone added 12.
Mosley, however, may not play today. Her aunt died this week, and Mosley's availability depends on the funeral arrangements in Chicago.
Shonte Clay, the Lions' other post player, will return to action tonight after sitting out Wednesday's game with an ankle sprain.
While the Northeastern State game was another disappointing finish, it also provided perhaps the Lions' best seven-minute stretch of the season.
The Lions, down 20-8 with 8:51 left in the first half, went on a 23-7 burst to take a 31-27 lead with 1:50 left in the half. The Lions hit 9-of-14 shots overall and 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, owned a 7-4 rebounding advantage, made two steals to set up layups and did not have a turnover. NSU was 3-of-8 from the floor and had three turnovers.
"It was phenomenal basketball on both sides," Mitts said. "The kids looked so much more relaxed. Two weeks ago they looked confused, battled, nervous. I don't see that anymore."

Buddy was a member of Bible Baptist Church in Beverly Hills, Fla., where a memorial service was previously held on July 18, 2013.
Graveside burial of ashes will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, 2013, at Wolf Prairie Cemetery in Jefferson County with the Rev. Merle Fullerton officiating. Interment will be in Wolf Prairie Cemetery. Chaplain Ernie Collins of American Legion Post 141 will conduct a flag presentation at the cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the Children's Leukemia Foundation and will be accepted at the Hughey Funeral Home, P.O. Box 721, Mt. Vernon, Il., 62864.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care Hughey Funeral Home where you may call (618) 242-3348 or visit www.hugheyfuneralhome1969.com for further information and to send condolences.

Ndamukong Suh is ready to start training camp — and he said any uncertainty about his contract shouldn't be a distraction. According to the Omaha World Herald, Suh said, "That's what you've got agents for. They can take care of business, and just go from there." Veterans reported to camp yesterday, and the Lions will practice today. Suh is entering the final season of his contract, and as always, the spotlight will be on the two-time All-Pro when he takes the field for Detroit.
The Baseball Hall of Fame has added six new members who have taken their place among the greats of the game. It was a big day for the Atlanta Braves, who saw former pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine enshrined along with longtime manager Bobby Cox. Those three were part of a dominating Braves era that saw the team win 14 straight division titles. Maddux and Glavine are 300-game winners and Cox is fourth on the all-time victory list. Number 3 on that list is Tony LaRussa, who has also been inducted along with fellow managing great Joe Torre. LaRussa is a four-time manager of the year who won 12 division titles, six pennants and three World Series. Torre is fifth on the managerial wins list and captured 10 division titles, six AL pennants and four World Series with the Yankees. Slugger Frank Thomas rounds out the class of 2014. He hit .301 with 521 homers and 1,704 RBIs in his 19-year career mostly with the White Sox.
Capturing his fifth Brickyard 400 victory title yesterday, Jeff Gordon looked like the driver he was 20 years ago when he captured his first. The win moved Gordon into a tie with Michael Schumacher, who has five Formula One victories over the famed Indianapolis oval.
Carlos Santana hit two more home runs, giving him six in six games, and the Cleveland Indians beat Kansas City 10-3. That ends the Royals' winning streak at five. The Royals are now 5 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central.

News Briefs:
Wisner-Pilger middle school students lost their school in June when an EF4 tornado ripped through Pilger, destroying the 105-year-old building, along with much of the furniture and fixtures inside. The school has relocated to Wisner for the fall. Classes will be held in three modular buildings. Wisner-Pilger superintendent says the Sioux City school district has donated 70 desks as well as some other furniture and shelving. Boyer says the furniture will be delivered today, free of charge by students in the Western Iowa Tech truck-driving program, and a dozen members of the Sioux City East football team will come along to help move it.
Nebraska prison officials say the errors made in calculating sentences for hundreds of inmates will cost the state at least $4 million, but at least one lawmaker says the cost is likely to be higher. The state Department of Correctional Services miscalculated sentences of nearly 600 prisoners. The Omaha World-Herald reported that the state was using a flawed formula in cases involving mandatory minimum sentences. Officials estimate that correcting the sentences will cost the state about $4 million over the next decade and as much as $10 million through 2064. But Omaha state Sen. Heath Mello, who leads the Appropriations Committee, says he thinks officials are understating the costs.
Omaha State Sen. Jeremy Nordquist is working on legislation that would allow certain illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses in Nebraska. Nordquist says it falls directly under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and applies to only those who were here June 15, 2012. Nordquist says the majority of both houses in Congress support doing something for these individuals that were brought into the country as children. He maintains that as long they've been responsible residents of our state and not involved in the criminal justice system this is not an unreasonable request.
Gov. Dave Heineman signed LB 476 into law a little more than a year ago, creating a program called Intern Nebraska that the governor says is already a great success. Heineman told NewsTalk WJAG that for every new internship a business creates for a college student, the state will pay for half of it. Heineman said about 700 students took part this past school year and about half received job offers from the companies they worked for following graduation The law stipulates that half of the internships have to occur in rural Nebraska: outside Douglas, Sarpy and Lancaster counties. For more information, go to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development's web site, neded.org.
One month can make a big difference. National Drought Mitigation Center Climatologist Brian Fuchs says heavy rains in June ended the drought for nearly all of Nebraska. Fuchs says the state entered into drought in the dry and hot summer of 2012. Drought carried over into 2013 and didn't seem to be nearing an end as 2013 turned into 2014. But Fuchs says the storms in June that left a lot of damage in their wake also ended the drought, dumping enough rain on Nebraska to recharge depleted subsoil moisture. He says only a portion of southwestern and north-central Nebraska remain in moderate drought.

Domestic Partner Benefits: Crossing the Minefield
Date:May 10, 2012 at 11:00 - 12:00 PM ET
Michael DelTergo, Principal, Law Office of Michael J. DelTergo(Law Office of Michael DelTergo)
The growing trend toward employers providing domestic partner benefits to their employees shows no sign of abating. As more employers consider adopting LGBT-friendly benefit policies, they confront questions regarding eligibility, verification issues, plan amendments, tax compliance, civil rights issues, compliance with ever-changing state and municipal law, and even new requirements for companies seeking certain government contracts. Companies that have adopted domestic partner policies will have to deal with eligibility, compliance, and tax reporting issues that they did not have before. Moreover, the domestic partnership landscape has been changing constantly as more municipalities add domestic partner registries and impose new requirements on contractors, and as more states recognize gay marriage. This session covers:
• How various states and municipalities recognize domestic partnerships;
• Federal law treatment of domestic partner benefits;
• State law treatment of domestic partner benefits;
• Tax and reporting requirements;
• Policy creation and communication;
• Special situations affecting government contractors;
• Verification and audit issues; and
• Civil rights issues.
Even in companies that have adopted policies to provide coverage for domestic partners, some plans contain terms that limit eligibility in order to control costs, limit benefits to DPs that have the attributes of traditional marriage, or to comply with government mandates. Consequently, a plan's eligibility criteria may exclude the partners of some LGBT employees and/or the dependents of an employee's partner. When that happens, there exists the potential for disputes between the LGBT community and the employer, resulting in negative publicity, pressure from government actors and special interest groups, and threats of legal action. This session will include case studies that discuss how such disputes may arise, who the various third-party actors are, legal considerations, and how potential PR disasters can be managed.
Who Should Participate
This session is geared toward HR professionals with responsibility for administering health and welfare benefit plans, and for managers or in-house counsel who oversee this function.
What You Will Learn
Attendees will learn about laws affecting or mandating domestic partner benefits, designing and communicating a domestic partner policy, handling eligibility questions and disputes, verification and audit issues, and handling situations that pose reputational or legal risk.

While there are many scooters on the market today, few combine the style, look, and easy riding ability of the Italian-produced 2005 Piaggio Typhoon. With two models, the Base and Special Edition, this bike is diverse enough to satisfy riders of all ages and ability levels.
The 2005 Piaggio Typhoon is one of the best looking scooters on the road, designed with a sporty steel frame, colored in black with cosmic blue trim. The Typhoon was built for beginner riders, measuring in at 70.9 inches in length and 27.6 inches in width, while its 179 lb. dry weight makes it easily maneuverable on the open road. The bike's 31.1 inch seat height gives the driver a clear view of the road ahead of them, while one-piece passenger seating allows a companion to come along for a ride as well. Vinyl seats provide plenty of comfort to go along with the class of this bike.
However, despite the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon's stylish look, make no mistake: its single cylinder, 2-stroke engine provides plenty of power, once its wheels hit the open road. The Typhoon is equipped with a 49cc, air-cooled engine with reed valve configuration, and 1.57 x 1.54 inch bore and stroke. Also, this scooter has an electric starter and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), with primary belt drive. Because of its unique engine specs, the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon requires premium fuel.
Beyond its powerful engine, the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon's suspension, steering, wheels, and tires allow for a smooth ride. This scooter comes with a telescopic fork front end suspension, and steel, single sided swing arm rear suspension. These elements combine with a single rear shock absorber to help the bike maintain a balanced ride, even under adverse road conditions. A pair of tubeless, aluminum 10 inch wheels, and 120/90 R16 front and rear tires help provide an even and safe drive.
Speaking of safety, the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon comes with a number of additional security features. This scooter is equipped with 7.5 inch hydraulic disc front end brakes, and 3.9 inch rear drum brakes, which allow this bike to come to smooth stops, even when cruising at top speeds. Front and rear end fenders also provide another important safety measure for both the driver, and his or her passenger.
Beyond its standard specs, the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon has a number of additional features that enhance the experience of riding this bike. The scooter comes equipped with standard hand grips, driver and passenger floor board location, and a center stand to help keep the bike evenly balanced when not in use. The Typhoon's instrumentation includes a clock, speedometer, and fuel level warning gauge, which alerts the driver when the bike's 1.5 gallon fuel capacity gasoline tank (with 0.4 gallon fuel storage) is getting low. Finally, the 2005 Piaggio Typhoon is equipped with helmet storage, lockable storage, and under-seat storage, which allows both the driver and passenger to pack extra supplies for especially long road trips.
