Take Action: Join the "To Gaza With Love" Letters Campaign
Posted on: Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Keywords: Palestine, Middle East, Peace Building
This action comes to us from USTOGAZA. To download a pdf version of the flyer for this campaign, please click here. If you prefer to send your letter electronically via MADRE, please click here.
The US Boat to Gaza, The Audacity of Hope, is committed to breaking the siege of Gaza. Around the US thousands of people have been contributing. Not everyone can sail on the boat but you all are just as much a part of the campaign as the passengers and the crew.
Already mothers, farmers, teachers, students, cab drivers and artists are writing. Whether it's a letter from a US mother to a mother in Gaza, a child in the US to a child in Gaza, or letters from students, teachers, business people, religious leaders to their counterparts in Gaza, the siege cannot withstand the power of our words to break through.
Please write your letter today.
To participate in To Gaza with Love:
- Write a letter and then encourage your friends and family to join this collective action of friendship and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
- Organize letter-writing parties in your home, school or place of worship.
- You can simply write a few lines on a postcard, a few paragraphs on paper or a card, or film a short video clip.
- Be creative. The only restriction is we need to be able to get it to Gaza. If you do a sculpture or a wall mural, you will have to send us a picture, not the real thing.
Send Letters To:
Letters To Gaza
119 West 72nd Street
New York, NY 10023
How Will We Share These Letters?
When The Audacity of Hope sails, your letters and messages will be part of its cargo. Meanwhile, we will send some of these messages right away and make them public through Twitter, Facebook, on our website, and in statements to the press. We'd also like to archive them and create an exhibit or book.

Common Name/s:
Synonym/s: |
Cossyphus albotaeniatus Valenciennes, 1839
Taxonomic Notes: | For taxonomic treatment see Gomon (2006). Gomon and Randall (1978) recognized B. albotaeniatus as a subspecies of B. bilunulatus but Gomon (2006) regarded it as a separate species (B. Russell pers. comm.. 2008). |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2010 |
Date Assessed: | 2009-03-25 |
Assessor/s: | Russell, B. & Myers, R. |
Reviewer/s: | Liu, M. & Carpenter, K.E. |
Justification: Little is known of the population and life history characteristics of this species. It has restricted range (Hawaiian Islands). It occurs in both shallow and deep waters which possibly acts as a refuge. It is mostly common, except in areas frequented by aquarium fish collectors. It grows moderately large, juveniles sought for aquarium trade. There are no major threats. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. |
Range Description: | This species is restricted to the Hawaiian Islands from Kure Atoll, north of Midway to island of Hawaii and at Johnson Atoll (R. Myers pers. comm. 2008) to Maui in the south and Johnston Island (B. Russell pers. comm. 2008). |
Countries: | Native: United States; United States Minor Outlying Islands |
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native:
Pacific – eastern central; Pacific – northwest
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | There is no population information for this species. It is a common species. |
Population Trend: | Unknown |
Habitat and Ecology: |
This species is common in rock and coral areas throughout those parts of the Hawaiian Islands that are not exploited by commercial aquarium fish collectors (Randall pers. comm.). It was collected at depths of 8-35 m. Strasburg et al. (1968) recorded individuals from submarine observations in 30-110 m off Oahu. Juveniles are known to clean other fishes (R. Myers pers. comm). |
Systems: | Marine |
Major Threat(s): | Juveniles of this species are utilized as aquarium fish (B. Russell pers. comm. 2008). Large individuals are taken by spear fisherman and terminal males are uncommon in shallow waters of the main Hawiian Islands (Myers pers. comm., Randall 2007). |
Conservation Actions: | There are no specific conservation measures in place for this species. Its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas within its range. |

They're just now becoming noticed on the national sports scene, but they looked like A-list celebrities at the bottom of Blackcomb's terrain park.
After wrapping up an airbag training session last Thursday (Jan. 3), members of Canada's halfpipe ski team were surrounded by a sea of star-struck young fans looking for autographs and photos with their heroes.
But perhaps that's something they should get more accustomed to. Though Rosalind Groenewoud, Mike Riddle, Justin Dorey et al. have long been big names in freestyle ski circles, their sport's fast-approaching Olympic debut is now leading to much-deserved time in the Canadian sport spotlight.
Groenewoud was on the front cover of a weekend issue of The Globe and Mail, one of several major newspapers across the country to run features about her over the past week. Sportsnet cameras were on hand last Thursday to capture the skiers on film for a national TV audience, as they flew off a spine-like jump mimicking pipe hits from both sides.
It's just 13 months until Sochi and these are Canada's newest hopefuls for Olympic gold, receiving an overdue introduction to a nation of new fans.
So how is head coach Trennon Paynter trying to keep his athletes focused during the stretch run to the Games? By having his skiers concentrate on what they can do in the pipe by approaching training at a competition level, and imparting what wisdom he can from his own Olympic experience at Salt Lake City.
"We're focusing on mileage and repetition of skills and tricks a little more than we used to, and trying to take the approach that we practice more as we compete," said Paynter, who skied moguls for Australia during the 2002 Olympics.
"No one realizes how big the Games are going to be until you get there," he continued. "We talk about that a lot as a team. It's like, 'Look, I know the X Games are a pretty big deal, but just wait until you get to the Games. It's a whole 'nother animal."
A look at the team's results indicates that the approach is working. Dorey was first and Riddle third during the first Olympic qualifying event last month at Breckenridge, Colo., while Groenewoud was third. Skiers need two podiums and one other high finish from five selected events this winter to earn an early berth to Sochi.
"We're still going to go into each of the big events and there's still going to be that pressure, but so far I think I've dealt with it well and I just want to keep doing that," said Riddle, who has three consecutive podiums since switching to a new set of Atomic skis before last year's World Skiing Invitational in Whistler.
"I'm feeling really good, skiing the best I've ever skied, (I'm) confident and everything's falling into place for me."
The athletes said having access to the training space at Whistler Blackcomb, which constructed the airbag hit and provided tows up the hill by sled last week, was a big benefit as they get ready for a busy competition schedule.
"It's always so nice to be home in Whistler," said Groenewoud, who said maintaining amplitude has been a focus of her preparations. "I'm working on a mixture of tricks that I hope to put in my run in the middle of this year, as well as getting mileage on tricks that I already do in the pipe, (but this allows) the ability to not really think about the landing and make them look really good in the air."
The team was in action Wednesday (Jan. 9) after press time in qualification for the U.S. Grand Prix competition at Colorado's Copper Mountain, which is a FIS World Cup stop and another Olympic qualifier for the Canadians. Dorey, who did not train with the team in Whistler to guard against injury, will join the rest of the team there.
And the contests will keep coming, as Whistler hosts a North Face Pipe and Park Open Series event starting Monday (Jan. 14). While the full national team isn't likely to compete in that event, local boy Simon D'Artois will be on hand hoping good performances this week can help earn him a Winter X Games spot.
"I'm pretty eager," said D'Artois, who was injured in training before the Breckenridge event. "Hurting myself in Colorado was kind of a bummer, but it must have happened for a reason. I'm going to be ready for this next competition here and hopefully I can do really well."
Halfpipe ski finals go Friday (Jan. 11) at Copper Mountain. Visit www.thenorthfaceppos.com for a full schedule of the four-day competition in Whistler starting Monday.

Dylan is the middle son of Jake Creed, a father who lived hard and not always in a way that endeared him to the town or his loved ones. Dylan was close to both of his half brothers and was devastated when Tyler's mother committed suicide. He tried to keep in touch with both brothers after their major fight on the day of Jake's funeral, but was only somewhat successful. He has decided to return to Stillwater Springs to take his place on the ranch. But he has baggage this time that he never had before.
Her name is Bonnie and she is the two-year-old spitting image of her dad…Dylan. Her mother abandoned her in his truck one night, with a note saying she was his to raise. Dylan had known about Bonnie and sent Sharlene checks every month, but he had never really had a relationship with her. He was both thrilled to have her and scared that he would turn out like Jake.
Dylan also has history in town in the form of one Kristy Madison, the local librarian. Kristy and Dylan were an "item" and looked to be in love until the night of Jake's funeral. Dylan got released from jail with his brothers after the bar fight and told Kristy he was leaving town. He needed to get away. He broke her heart and for the past five years, she has really never gotten over him. One broken engagement later, Kristy has bought an old Victorian home that she is remodeling and she is the town librarian, a job she loves since she gets to be around kids that she figures she'll never have. And Kristy is right back in love with Dylan the minute she sees him and his darling little girl.
There are several entwined stories in this tale, including Dylan's decision to seek full custody of Bonnie and his relationship with Kristy. But Kristy has issues of her own. The sheriff, an old family friend who is about ready to retire, tells her that he is digging up her horse, Sugarfoot, because he believes there is a dead body buried in the same grave. It turns out that Kristy suddenly remembers a night when a drifter, hired on as a ranch hand on her family's ranch, ended up in her room when she was just twelve years old. Her father confronted him and ended up shooting him. Scared, he called a friend and they buried the man without telling a soul. Up to this time, Kristy had blocked it out. But that friend, who happened to be that same sheriff, knew and can no longer live with himself. The suspense comes in when there is not one but two bodies buried with the horse. When weird break-ins start occurring, there is worry about the identity of the murderer and what Kristy might know.
This was a weak plotline and even the resolution was stretching it. But it did give Dylan and Kristy a reason to be together and build on their strong sexual relationship. Due to the macho charm that Dylan exudes and the down home warmth that radiates from Kristy, these two make a couple that a reader can fully embrace. They argue and are each strong in their own way, but together they are better. Miller has a way of keeping the reader engaged in that part of the story even when not engaged in the sidebars.
Montana Creeds: Dylan is a good addition to the series and adds to the picture of the three boys raised by Jake Creed. Tyler's story is set up nicely. If you are reading the series, Dylan's tale is a good match. It doesn't stand alone, however, with too many loose ends from the earlier story woven in.

The Ohio-based company says 8 percent of its home-state residents are veterans, and it wants to show its gratitude to all who serve.
"It is because of these brave men and women that we continue to enjoy the freedom our founding fathers fought for," Bob Evans Restaurants President Randy Hicks said in a news release.
Guests must provide proof of service, including: U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card, U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card, Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), or Veterans Organization Card (i.e., American Legion and VFW). Or, just wear your uniform.

Kapernick. He makes all the throws, was threading the needle against Chi D. He also has wheels. The guy wasn't a second round pick for nothing. I like Smith, but it's time for the niners to move on from a game manager QB

Absolutely. Now that I live in the SF market and have watched them for the last 2 years. I'd say the 49ers have been winning in spite of Alex Smith. He cannot create plays, he's a slightly more athletic version of Trent Dilfer.Originally Posted by niners4reggie
If SF didnt have the most athletic TE in the league, Smith would really be SOL.

Couldn't agree with both of you more! I've wanted Kap to start since they drafted him.
Little late chiming in but Kap is the better play. We might not win the Super Bowl with Kap this year but we definitely weren't gonna win with Smith. The offense is more explosive and teams can no longer stack 8 in the box cuz Kap can beat them deep. Kap will be a Pro Bowler in 2-3 years. All we need is for the most important Smith (Justin) to heal ASAP
You're right Reggie, he's definitely headed in the right direction and will be elite. That NFC West will be getting tougher with Wilson in Seattle and St. Louis on the rise. Kap is just 25 ! Can't imagine how much better he will be in 2-3 years. Everyone talks about teams figuring out the pistol but he only did brutal damage against Green Bay out of the pistol. He won impressive games vs Atlanta, New England, Green Bay, & Chicago in 10 starts !
Also helped the Niners overcome the biggest playoff deficit and win against the Falcons on their home turf and almost brought them back in the Superbowl and was 1 play away from doing that.
Yes, all true & valid points buuuuut MVP doesn't account for post season stats/games ;-)

MVP is a regular season award. Colin played half a season that right there takes him out, on top of that the 49ers are a great team without him. they went to the afc championship game last year with out him, this year they were without him they were 6 and 2. They would lose more games without patrick willis out of the line-up then with Kap out.
ap,brady,rodgers,manning, etc ,etc,etc mean more to there teams then kap does. If the award was based on playoff performance ap wouldnt have got the award. Its not even debatable Kap isnt even close to this years MVP.
Plain and simple its a homer pick.
A homer pick? Lmao the Pats went 10-6 with Matt Cassel Brady's good but they can do it without him as well I guess. Broncos went to the playoffs with Tim Tebow I know that's previous year stuff but I guess you could still holds true for anyone.
First of that was 5 years ago not last season. NE had a winning season without brady , but they didnt go to the playoffs and NE with Brady is a SB caliber team. The broncos went to the playoffs with a great defense not just Timmy.
Im not saying he isnt good or even better than Smith, but lets be realistic this team is very good from top to bottom and can win games with alot of players under center. Im not saying anything will change completely, but would like to see what happens in a couple years with the option/pistol offense has been around a couple years.
Thats why I said previous years. I realize it wasn't last year. I said you could make a case on MVP not he should win it. That's all
Your beating me to the punch lol ya they are a stacked team with a great coach I'm really excited for the future

In his early years on the NSE faculty, Yip made pioneering contributions in the fields of transport phenomena and neutron scattering. He later began a program of theoretical, modeling and atomistic simulation studies of the properties of crystalline solids which soon established him as an international leader in this rapidly developing field.
He has contributed almost 300 journal articles and his monographs and handbooks are known around the world. Particularly notable from the early stage of his career is his monograph with Richard Osborn, Foundations of Neutron Transport Theory (1967). More recently the two-volume Handbook of Materials Modeling (2005) he edited stands as the defining reference in the field. The Handbook, a later volume on scientific modeling and simulation co-edited with Tomas de la Rubia, and the many workshops and conference sessions he has organized exemplify his remarkable — and perhaps unique — leadership role in helping to build the worldwide interdisciplinary community of researchers on multiscale materials modeling.
At MIT, Yip has supervised almost 50 doctoral students, many of them now pursuing highly productive careers at leading academic and research institutions around the world. Though he retired officially in 2009 after 46 years of extraordinary service on the faculty (the last nine of them also as a member of the faculty in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering), Yip is still very active in research, and a partial listing of his current affiliations and activities indicates the breadth of his interests and contributions: CASL, the DOE-funded Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (where he serves as deputy lead for materials performance and optimization); the Concrete Sustainability Hub at MIT; and the BP-funded Materials and Corrosion Center at MIT and the University of Manchester
As the winner of the 2012 Robert Cahn award, Yip will give a keynote lecture at the next NuMat Conference in Japan on Oct. 21-25.

Back to the Beginning – Rolls with Pigeon and Truffles
(Find the complete, original post on Outlander Kitchen – October 21, 2011)
"You think the man Young Ian followed has something to do with Sir Percival's warning?" I lifted a cover on the supper tray that had just been delivered and sniffed appreciatively; it seemed a very long time since Moubray's stew.
Jamie nodded, picking up a sort of hot stuffed roll.
"I should be surprised if he had not," he said dryly. "While there's likely more than one man willing to do me harm, I canna think it likely that gangs o' them are roaming about Edinburgh." He took a bite and chewed industriously, shaking his head.
"Nay, that's clear enough, and nothing to be greatly worrit over."
"It's not?" I took a small bite of my own roll, then a bigger one. "This is delicious. What is it?"
Jamie lowered the roll he had been about to take a bite of, and squinted at it. "Pigeon minced wi' truffles, " he said, and stuffed it into his mouth whole.
"No," he said, and paused to swallow. "No," he said again, more clearly. "That's likely just a matter of a rival smuggler. There are two gangs that I've had a wee bit of difficulty with now and then." He waved a hand, scattering crumbs, and reached for another roll.

Join BCI staff and renowned mammalogist Dr. José Ochoa on our 2000 encore trip
to Venezuela! This one-of-a-kind natural history tour will begin on Venezuelas northwestern coast, where some 80,000 acres of peninsulas, keys, coral reefs, and mangroves await us at the Morrocoy National Park. Red-howler monkeys, crab-eating foxes, pacas, deer, flamingos, and a rich array of bats can all be found in this reserve. During the day, we will boat to frigatebird and brown booby rookeries then snorkel among coral and beds of turtle-grass. When night falls, we will sample the local bat fauna, including vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) that roost in nearby Indio Cave.
Next we will observe rapidly changing ecosystems as we travel up the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range to the 270,000-acre Henry Pittier National Park. More than 500 species of birds live in or migrate through this region each year, choosing from damp cloud forests, arid savannas, and shrubby deciduous forests to supply their food or shelter. The bat diversity is no less stunning, with more than 50 species, including the omnivorous spear-nosed bat (Phyllostomus hastatus) with a wingspan of nearly two feet!
Southwest of the buzzing metropolis of Caracas lies Guatopo National Park, our final site on the tour. This lush green enclave boasts trees over 100 feet tall in a meeting of tropical and premontane forests. The 300,000 acres of preserved wilderness is a haven for jaguar, tapir, sloths, parrots, colorful snakes, and the occasional prehensile-tailed porcupine. We can expect to catch more than 15 species of forest bats here as well, such as the delicate sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx bilineata).
Dont miss this unforgettable wildlife bonanz. Make your reservation today!
March 25 thru April 1, 2000
Projected cost: $2,365.00
(from Caracas, Venezuela)

Day and night on BCIs 1999 Venezuela tour:
Top right: Founders Circle members had an unexpected thrill helping a South American herpetologist capture, tag, and release this 19-foot anaconda. Working with bats certainly seemed easy by comparison. In total, we caught 31 species, including vampire and fishing bats. Above, Merlin Tuttle shows off a great fruit-eating bat (Artibeus lituratus), which we are likely to see again on our year 2000 tour.

Established pre-Columbian patterns, experiences with European colonization, culture change, and 20th century reconfigurations will be discussed. This course will be web-based with 3 face-to-face meetings and will use a combination of online topics modules, text readings, formal lecture, topical videos, in-class "hands-on" small group and whole class exercises, and ongoing discussion.
Catalog Description: Description and analysis of the cultures of native peoples of North America. Social, economic, and religious life; languages and arts of representative North American Indian groups.
Judith Calleja (3 credit hours)
This course will discuss key concepts and events in Native American history since the establishment of the United States of America, the changing views of cultural stewardship, museums' role in artifacts and repatriation, and recent events and case studies. This course will survey cultures of the native peoples of North America, and the contemporary issues of various US laws and statutes. This course will be web-based with 3 face-to-face meetings, and will use a combination of online modules and lectures, text readings, videos, activities, and ongoing group discussion.
Catalog Description: May be repeated to a maximum of 6 semester hours. PRQ: Consent of department.
Karly Tumminello (3 credit hours)
The perennial culture wars raging in the USA are expressed in many areas of society. One area of attack is the opposition by the Religious Right to the teaching of evolution in public schools. Since before the famous "Scopes Monkey Trial" in 1925, school boards and legislatures have tried to eliminate, add equal doses of creationism to, or water down the coverage of evolution. They have targeted evolution as a cause for many of their perceived "social evils," don't understand science, and cannot separate evolution from "Social Darwinism."
This course will introduce students to the history of the controversy, define the opposition, and explain where each side gets their ideas and what they believe. We will then explore philosophy of science in enought detail to be able to separate a scientific question from a non-scientific question. A preliminary survey of primarily biological evolution will provide students with the necessary information to counter creationist arguments. This course is designed to give students the ability to not only defend evolution but, more importantly, attack non-scientific intrusions into the public school system. It is not a course in biological evolution but complementary, and can be taken by any upper-level undergraduate with an interest in science and society.
Catalog Description: Evolutionary theory and tenets of present-day anti-evolutionists with emphasis on providing students with the skills to articulate the theory of evolution as it applies to the biological sciences. Not designed as a substitute for a formal course in evolutionary theory. Recommended for students pursuing careers in secondary science education.
Ronald Toth (3 credit hours)
This course provides an analysis of contemporary macroeconomic and microeconomic issues. Students will explore, and analyze topics in modern economics and topics of current importance to the consumers, resource owners, business, and government. Topics of discussions will be current and subject to change with regard to the economy and policies as we proceed through the semester.
Catalog Description: Topics of current importance to consumers, resource owners, business, and government. May be repreated once as topics change. PRQ: ECON 260 and ECON 261.
Sowjanya Dharmasankar (3 credit hours)
Though maps have been used by civilizations for well over 5,000 years, practically all aspects of mapping today involve computers - from the collection of real-world data by GPS or satellites, to drafting and printing. Rather than study the history of maps and mapping, we will instead study the concept of maps as tools of modern communication and visualization. This course is also the starting point for NIU's certificate of undergraduate study in Geographic Information Systems (in addition to applying toward the B.G.S.) and is required for several further courses in geography. Mandatory introductory face-to-face class meeting.
Catalog Description, GEOG 256: Introduction to maps as models of our earth, tools of visualization, and forms of graphic communication. Use of satellite and aerial imagery, land surveying, and geographic information systems in map production. Thematic maps and how they are used. Map design for informational and persuasive purposes. Two hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory.
Catalog Description, GEOG 556: For graduate students with little formal background in mapping. Maps as models, tools of visualization, and forms of graphic communication. Processes of map production, including imagery and surveying. Principles of map design.
Kory Allred (3 credit hours)
This course is intended to provide the student with a broader understanding of water and its importance to our lives and earth's complex environment. We will consider issues facing water such as whether the supply of water will continue, how man-made developments have altered water availability, how pollution has eroded this natural resource, and where/how we can restore our water resources. Relevant video clips, online tutorials, and supplemental readings will be used throughout the course to provide examples of water-related issues affecting northern Illinois, other regions of the U.S., as well as various countries around the world.
Catalog Description: Evaluation of water as a resource; its availability, distribution, use, and quality. Operation of the hydrologic cycle and relationships between surface water and the soil, groundwater, and atmosphere. Human impacts on water resources and the management of water-related hazards, including flooding, drought, and the spread of disease. Lecture and field experience.
Sharon Ashley (3 credit hours)
Examination of fundamentals of atmospheric phenomena with an emphasis on understanding concepts and processes behind severe manifestations of weather and climate.

Walker Ashley (3 credit hours)
This course is an introduction to geographic issues in various regions of the United States and Canada. You will be introduced to some major patterns and processes that dominate the major physical and cultural realms of this region. We will first go over some basic physical and social features common to the United States and Canada. We then will explore the historical evolution and unique physical, cultural, and environmental features of fourteen sub-regions, following your textbook. Rather that just describing each region, we will examine the various regions in an attempt to understand and explain regional differences. Ultimately, our exploration of these regions should help us all reach a deeper understanding of the diversity and complexity of life in the United States and Canada. A final project, map quizzes, and exams will all be utilized to increase your knowledge of this diverse and fascinating region.
Catalog Description: Regional analysis of two countries. Cultural, economic, and political patterns. Geographic perspectives applied to current issues and problems.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Where in the world am I?" GEOG 359 may help you answer that question with an introductory study into the principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In this online course, we develop skills in GIS, its components, and how it applies to our surrounding environment. This course is a primer for those who are interested in learning more about the dynamic and ever-changing world of GIS and its career applications.
Catalog Description, GEOG 359: Study of the fundamental principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Emphasis on the development of these systems, their components and their integration into mainstream geography. Two hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory. PRQ: GEOG 256 or GEOG 352 or consent of department.
Catalog Description, GEOG 557: For graduate students with little formal background in GIS or computer mapping. Principles, components, and uses of geographic information systems. PRQ: GEOG 552 or GEOG 556, or consent of department.
Philip Young (3 credit hours)
This course introduces students to geographic concepts surrounding climate change. The coverage of this broad subject will focus on different scales of climate change, i.e. local (urban heat island) to planetary (atmospheric teleconnections and global blocking patterns). In addition to climate change science, human dimensions of climate change will be examined covering the effects of humans on climate as well as mitigation strategies for adapting to the different scales of climate change ongoing and/or predicted. This course will be of value to a wide ranging audience as it will not only cover answers as to why our climate changes, but also further geographic questions of where, how, and when these changes will be manifested. Finally, mitigation and adaptation stragtegies will be discussed in order to synthesize our understanding of climate change and also provide students with knowledge applicable to urban and regional planning, public administration, and environmental planning.
Catalog Description: Overview of the science of climate change and an analysis of the implications of this change on societies throughout the world. Spatial dimensions of climate change will be examined from a holistic perspective, taking into account interactions between the natural and man-made environment, impacted societies and the development of economic and social policies. Social and political ramifications of climate change have become apparent as local commnities in different parts of the world struggle to adapt to new patterns of urban climate, excessive rainfall, prolonged droughts, and severe weather events.
Mace Bentley (3 credit hours)

Throughout the history of the United States, women have contributed a great deal to the country's cultural landscape. This course will examine the important contributions that women have made to American culute through a consideration of women's fine arts and crafts, fashions, literature, and music. Although this course will incorporate an historical overview of women's culture, we will focus primarily on women's contributions over the past two decades. Furthermore, this course will emphasize the ways in which factors like gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity and race influence women's culture.

Through online lectures and discussion, as well as readings, writing assignments, and other activities, students will gain an understanding of and appreciation for the many ways Renaissance women both conformed to and subverted the cultural expectations around them. We will consider music, art, religion, education, law, literature, government, and medicine, as well as place English Renaissance women within a broader international context. We will also explore the ways that the legacy of the English Renaissance has shaped today's cultural expectations. Finally, we will interrogate the modern-day interest in the renaissance from Showtime's "The Tudors" to Broadway shows like The Pirate Queen and blockbuster movies like Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Why does this historical period still fascinate us so?

15:00 We start the final frame with the Jets having the ball at their 36-yard line, first-and-10. Dewayne Robertson puts down his former teammate Thomas Jones for a short carry on first down. Favre rolls out of the pocket on second down and throws the ball away. Third-and-eight… Favre stands tall in the pocket and hits Chansi Stuckey for the first down at midfield. Another Bronco is down, this time Marquand Manuel.
Manuel made the big hit on Stuckey, but he seems to have gotten the worst of the hit.
14:01 First-and-ten at the Broncos 46-yard line. Josh Barrett has replace Manuel. First down bubble-screen to Stuckey nets the Jets seven yards. Favre hands to Jones on second down, but he is met by Wesley Woodyard. Third-and-three… the ball skips incomplete to Jerricho Cotchery.
Fourth down and the Jets are going for it. Favre goes deep, but Cotchery can't make the grab. Nice play by Karl Paymah to knock the ball away as they were coming down. Broncos ball at their 40-yard line.
Good news, Falcons have beat the Chargers 22-16.
12:10 After a reception by Scheffler for nine yards, Hillis picks up the first down inside Jets territory. That carry puts Hillis over 100 yards.
10:30 Back-to-back carries by Hillis and the Broncos are facing a third-and-two. Tatum Bell is in and stands to the left of Cutler. Cutler rolls and hits a wide open Brandon Stokley for a touchdown. Great play call and great pass by Cutler as he rolled right and found Stokley from 36-yards out. Prater nails the point after and the Broncos have doubled up the Jets.
Broncos 34 – Jets 17, 9:26 remaining.
9:21 Jets will start their drive at their own 40-yard line. A short gain, two incompletions and it is fourth down. On comes the punt unit. Royal is back deep for the Broncos.
8:30: Broncos start at the 15-yard line. Expect to see a lot of Hillis as the Broncos try to close this one out. In fact, he takes the first carry for five yards and the second carry for three. Third-and-two… delayed blitz by the Jets and the ball falls short. Out comes Kern.
6:53: Another nice kick by Kern, Washington waves it off, but then fields it. Broncos don't fall for it, and stop Washington at the 34-yard line.
6:43: First down and Favre goes deep. Looks for Laveranues Coles but Josh Bell is there to knock it away. Jets are facing a third-and-three after a short completion to Washington. Nevermind, the referees call a late penalty on Paymah and the Jets have a first down.
5:40: Jets are moving the ball down the field and have the ball at the Broncos 35-yard line. Favre hits Coles who gets the first down. Jets are in the hurry up.
5:00: Favre fires for the endzone, but Bell and Vernon Fox are there to knock it away. Second down at the 30, and the Jets start a little fast and are flagged. Second-and-15… Favre shows off the gun and hits Keller, who may have to have the ball surgically removed from his chest. Third down and Favre hits Keller again for a first down.
3:50: Brad Smith takes the bubble-screen to the two-yard line. Hurry up offense, but another Bronco is down. It is Barrett… these injuries are getting old. Hopefully they are nothing serious. Barrett is up and walks off the field. Speaking of injuries, Ekuban is back in.
3:31: Favre fires in the endzone for Keller, but it is knocked away by Winborn. Second-and-goal, Favre in the gun and throws quick to Coles. But he is tackled just as quick by Bly. Third-and-goal and Favre throws it away.
2:48: Jets go for it on fourth down… Favre fires but Bell knocks it away and the Broncos take over. Nice job by the defense.
2:36: Hillis carries several Jets and gets the first down. That will probably take us to the two-minute warning… and it does. Two minutes until the Broncos go 7-5 and take a three game lead in the AFC West.
2:00: Ahhh my favorite play in football. Victory formation.
The clock will run out on this one. The Broncos fight the weather and arguably the hottest team in football and come away with a huge 34-17 win. They move to 7-5 and are three games up on the Chargers.
Talk to you all next week.
