The Beat on the Street: Second Lines, Mardi Gras Indians, and the Photography of Gary Samson
February 12 - March 28, 2014
Join us for an exhibition of photographs and folk art with a focus on the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans. This working class, African-American tradition is distinctively part of New Orleans's parade culture, and more broadly related to black Carnival celebrations throughout the world.
On Wednesday, February 12, the exhibition opens with a showing of Bury the Hatchet from 3-5:00PM at the UNH Memorial Union Building, Theater I. The event will feature guest Big Chief Alfred Doucette of the Flaming Arrows. He will answer questions about the film and this centuries old tradition in a moderated discussion.
An opening reception follows at the University Museum from 5:30-7:00PM. The exhibit, film, and reception are free and open to the public.
The exhibition is underwritten, in part, by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
Past Exhibitions
Our Collection
We have a growing collection of UNH memorabilia and historic artifacts. We consider donations and have accepted over 1,000 items from approximately 100 donors. Donations are most often from alumni and their families and include a range of items from freshman beanies and scrapbooks to costumes and fraternity dance favors.
We are always looking for donations of memorabilia, in particular, items from the 1940s to the present. Please contact the curator, Dale Valena, if you have something you'd like to donate.

When you live in Texas, there is just something about owning a ranch as a second home that is so dang appealing. It gets in your blood as the ultimate great escape for the weekend. Having hundreds of acres around you centers you with the wild things, and that agriculture exemption is real nice, too: running lifestock on the acreage holds down property taxes. Owning a ranch and living the ranch life just feels so very "Giant". Or Larry McMurtry-esque, kind of a hallmark of Texas real estate. And I think the best ranches are to be found in the Texas Hill Country!

Press Release

$12,415 Grant Will Fund AIDS Healthcare Foundation's HIV Educational Support Group Program and HIV 101 Course Designed to Improve Health Outcomes for Those Living with HIV/AIDSLOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is pleased to announce that it has received a generous grant in the amount of $12,415 from the S.L. Gimbel Foundation Advised Fund at The Community Foundation Serving the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino. This grant is funding expansion of AHF's HIV Educational Support Group Program and HIV 101 Course, a unique program that motivates clients through providing in-depth HIV information and education, self-efficacy skill building, peer support and medication adherence.HIV education and support are critical components of improved health outcomes for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In 2003, AHF began to offer weekly HIV education and support group meetings to meet these needs. Each week, presentations are given by AHF's own staff members and visiting presenters on various topics relevant to persons living with HIV/AIDS. Previous topics have included HIV and Minority Populations, What's New in HIV, Adherence Tools, Medication Side Effect Management, Aging and HIV, Hepatitis Co-Infection, HIV Knowledge and Stress Management. The last meeting of each month is reserved as an open forum for group members to discuss topics affecting them. These open forum groups are facilitated by the Program Manager, Paul Prosser, with the support of an AHF medical social worker.Many clients attending the weekly meetings are concurrently enrolled in AHF's Success Through Anti Retroviral Therapy (START) program, an intensive counseling program for clients struggling with medication adherence in medical outpatient settings. START represents the only intensive education and counseling program for treatment adherence within the context of specialized HIV medical care in Los Angeles.In addition to weekly support group meetings and the START program, AHF facilitates HIV 101 Courses designed to inform and provide detailed information overview on understanding the history of HIV/AIDS, the virus' effect on the body, how to correctly take HIV medication, and how to remain adherent to treatment. The class helps people to better understand the HIV disease so that they may manage the HIV to the fullest extent possible. The HIV 101 Courses prove to be important to newly diagnosed patients, those who have been out of care and/or clients with low health literacy."AIDS Healthcare Foundation is very grateful to the S.L. Gimbel Foundation for its ongoing support of our successful Adherence Support Group program and the HIV 101 Course," said AHF's Paul Prosser. "The HIV Educational Support Group is unique in that it integrates HIV educational presentations, group discussion, and a peer support intervention. No other organization provides ongoing adherence support and education for vulnerable populations at risk of dropping out of care and who are having difficulty adhering to their medication."Funding will allow AHF to expand the number of HIV 101 courses provided over the course of the year. Additionally, AHF will utilize a portion of the funding to launch a women's educational support group at its Downtown Los Angeles Healthcare Center. This will provide women with a safe space to communicate with other women managing the daily challenges of living with HIV and build their support network and knowledge of HIV.Mr. Prosser added: "The program targets patients with compromised health as indicated by high viral load, low CD4 count and opportunistic infections. However, through our comprehensive medical counseling and support services, our patients have seen great improvement in their health. Many foundations discontinued supporting subsidiary services due to the complacency that follows improved HIV medications. However, The S.L. Gimbel Foundation truly understands the need for continuous efforts. For that, we thank S.L. Gimbel Foundation for recognizing the importance of sustaining our patients who live with a chronic disease."About AIDS Healthcare FoundationAIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest global AIDS organization, currently provides medical care and/or services to more than 176,000 individuals in 27 countries worldwide in the US, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean, the Asia/Pacific Region and Eastern Europe.

The effect of climate change on iceberg production by Greenland glaciers
SPX: While the impact of climate change on the surface of the Greenland ice sheet has been widely studied, a clear understanding of the key process of iceberg production has eluded researchers for many years.
Published in Nature this week, a new study presents a sophisticated computer model that provides a fresh insight into the impact of climate change on the production of icebergs by Greenland glaciers, and reveals that the shape of the ground beneath the ice has a strong effect on its movement....

Study: Climate change will cut habitats by 2080
USA Today: Global warming will destroy more than half of the habitats of most plants and a third of animals by 2080, biologists conclude, unless steps are taken to limit greenhouse gases.
Over the past century, average global surface temperatures have increased about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the National Academy of Sciences. This global warming is largely due to burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, which retain heat and warm the atmosphere. Temperatures worldwide are expected...

Life on Earth under threat from CO2 levels, say scientists
Independent: There will be a dramatic global decline in the number of animal and plant species this century if the world continues to procrastinate over measures to cut carbon dioxide emissions to limit climate change, a study has found.
Current CO2 emissions are currently tracking on the highest trajectory envisaged by climate scientists. That means if nothing is done to reduce emissions significantly over the coming decades, over half of common plants and one-third of the animals could see a serious decline,...

Climate change forecast to shrink habitat of common plants, animals
Reuters: The habitats of many common plants and animals will shrink dramatically this century unless governments act quickly to cut rising greenhouse gas emissions, scientists said on Sunday after studying 50,000 species around the world. The scientists from Britain, Australia and Colombia said plants, amphibians and reptiles were most vulnerable as global temperatures rise and rainfall patterns change. About 57 percent of plants and 34 percent of animal species were likely to lose more than half the area...

On the Brink: Climate Change Endangers Common Species
LiveScience: A wide variety of plants and animals are likely to become much less common if something isn't done to avert the worst effects of a warming climate, new research suggests.
Under a "business as usual" scenario, where greenhouse gas emissions aren't significantly reduced, about 50 percent of plants and one-third of animals are likely to vanish from half of the places they are now found by 2080, said Rachel Warren, a researcher at the University of East Anglia in England. These losses could lead to...

Ice Cores Reveal Green Arctic
Scientific American: The Arctic wasn't always covered in ice. Samples of sediment layers beneath a frozen lake show this region used to be a lot warmer—and may thaw out again in the future.

Analyses of sediment cores have revealed that back then summers reached about 15 to 16 degrees Celsius, a good 8 degrees warmer than modern...

There were a thousand and one trees and crazy to get through. Still fun disc golf, all you really need is a putter and midrange.
+0 votes adam peregrim › August 16, 2013
The course isn't that bad for the area but really should have nine less holes to lengthen and widen a few of the front nine holes. Very technical which i like but i would love to see 1 or 2 holes where i can just unload and this course is just lacking in that department.

I've gotten hooked on 105.7 The Fan. Since football season began, I've been listening to Steve Davis more than Steve Inskeep and marveling at Ravens fans' capacity for processing and retaining huge amounts of minutiae related to every aspect of the game. In fact, I'll bet many listeners can name more players on the Ravens practice squad than City Council members.
But overall, I've been most impressed with Ricky Williams. When I heard Williams was coming to Baltimore, I knew he brought a lot of baggage with him—he's the guy who abruptly retired in 2004, returned a year later, and went to the CFL in 2006 after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy for a fourth time. When I heard he was co-hosting a Wednesday night radio show, I figured it would be another "we are warriors who love our fans and do what Harbs says" gabfest, but maybe with a little more edge to it.
So I tuned into the show, which aired Wednesday nights at 6 pm from the Greene Turtle. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Williams was actually a soft-spoken, candid, and articulate guy. So I tuned in again and again and have heard him offer both clear-headed analysis and Zen-like wisdom over the course of the season. Besides the ins and outs of beating the Steelers, Williams has talked about transcendence, doing yoga, traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, and watching Monday Night Football while drinking tea in Thailand (that must have been during one of those retirements or suspensions). "My number one priority is the quality of my life," I've heard him say more than once. "I get up every morning happy to go to work."
The guy also has a sense of humor. He's mentioned that, at 34, he's the oldest running back in the league, and young guys tell him all the time that they've been watching him play since they were in junior high or even elementary school.
And when a caller asked him about the NFL's drug policy, he quipped, "I certainly know a lot about that" and then proceeded to outline the testing procedure, which is much stricter and more invasive than I ever imagined.
He uses words like "neat."
Maybe next year, The Ricky Williams Show should be broadcast from Teavolve.

2013 This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain 26" Tubeless Tires in stock than that.
Schwalbe Big Betty TrailStar Tubeless Tire - 26in $0.00
Big Betty for big trails.
If you live for rough terrain, but pedal to earn turns, Schwalbe's Big Betty TrailStar Tubeless 26in Tire is for you. With an aggressive design and a reinforced tubeless casing, the Big Betty provides the security needed to charge craggy trails, without calling on a lift to get back up.
Three types of alternating, broad blocks are placed for an excellent blend of braking, steering, and climbing traction. Between each row of these paddle-shaped knobs are alternating square blocks that provide an enhanced grip in loose terrain. Long, lengthwise knobs interspersed at the center of Big Betty resist deforming under acceleration, as to provide energy conservation and enhanced speed.
The combination of profiles provides a blend of low rolling-resistance, powerful braking control, and strong grip in loose dirt. The tread pattern deserves much of the credit for the control provided by the Big Betty, but it wouldn't be possible without Schwalbe's TrailStar compound.
Essentially, TrailStar means that the knobs in the center of the tire are harder than those found on the side knobs. And, not only does the harder center compound allow the Big Betty to roll surprisingly fast, but it also improves the durability as well. And since cornering traction is of the utmost importance, the side knobs are built from a softer rubber, which maximizes grip when you're at the edge of control.
Schwalbe's tubeless casing is employed for the construction of the Big Betty. The enlarged bead hook helps keep the tire on the rim under hard cornering, which is especially important to those who prefer lower tire pressures. And speaking of low pressure, the reinforced casing provides added flat resistance, as well as extra support.
The Schwalbe Big Betty TrailStar Tubeless 26in Tire is available in a 26x2.4in size and in the color Black. Please note that this tire does not include either sealant or tape.

Farewell, Mr. Bay
Published on Wed, Apr 23, 2008 by

At 7:30 a.m., when most of people are just waking up, Public Works director Jim Bay is in his office answering e-mails, working on presentations and going after grants because even after 20 years spent working for the city of Sequim, Bay still loves his job.
Im serious about the work that I do and Im serious about taking good care of the city, Bay said.
Bay will be retiring from the Public Works department this week. He informed the city of his plans six months ago, but for the past month, Bay said, its been an emotional roller coaster.
I want to stay, I want to go. I want to help and I dont want to help, Bay said, adding hes retiring to spend more time with his family: his wife, four sons and 11 grandchildren, 10 of whom are boys.
Ive got a wonderful wife that puts up with me coming to work at 5:30, 6 oclock in the morning and staying late, Bay said. She even rides alongside him when he goes out on weekends to check on public works projects.
Nows going to be my time to spend with her and the wonderful honey-dos shes got laid out for me, Bay joked.
Bay was born in Ohio, but in 1947 the family moved to the North Olympic Peninsula, a place Bay said no matter where he goes he keeps coming back to. After years of working in construction in California, Washington and Alaska, Bay co-owned a sawmill in Port Angeles, but the 14-hour workdays, seven days a week were too much. He sold his share of the business and went to work with the city improving streets. Within six months, he was named the Public Works Departments superintendent and in 1994 he was named the departments director. Today Bays an established figure, not just in Sequim, but at the county and state levels as well. Hes known for his contacts lists, which are essential when hes searching for grants and other funding options.
Thats something I just built up. I felt that it was just imperative. If youre going to ask someone for money, you need to talk to them and look right in their eyes and face, so they can see who you really are, Bay said.
Over the past 20 years, Bay has watched the city of Sequim go through a huge expansion and hes made sure that Public Works has taken a proactive role in keeping up with the citys growth, from expanding on Sequims downtown to adding landscaping and open space throughout the city.
It was a lot of fun to be a part of making all that happen. Im excited where were at, Bay said.
His most satisfying accomplishments, however, have to be establishing the citys state-of-the-art water facility and water reuse program. Bay doesnt exactly look like hed be an environmental type and he admits he wasnt always.
You have to remember, before I got here I was cutting down trees! We tore the countryside up and we were very good at it, Bay said. But when I started working here, I realized I wanted to do something so that I could leave it for my kids better than what somebody left it for me.
Bay says hell remain involved with the city but more or less as an audience member, picking and choosing where to voice his opinion.
Although his last day is April 25, Bay is working on a reconstruction of the Public Works Department itself, creating managerial positions for different aspects of the department water, sewer, parks, streets.
I can see when we start hitting populations of 10,000, 12,000, youre going to have to have somebody in charge of the water department, somebody in charge of the sewer department. I think the Public Works director will still be at the top and everything will be funneled up to him, but he wont be making all the decisions, Bay said.
The city has yet to hire someone to succeed Bay, but has contracted with a consultant to oversee the employment search.
This is a good-hearted man and its a real loss for this city, Councilman Walt Schubert said of Bay.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a 1999 American crime action film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. Forest Whitaker stars as the title character, the mysterious "Ghost Dog", a hitman in the employ of the Mafia, who follows the ancient code of the samurai as outlined in the book of Yamamoto Tsunetomo's recorded sayings, Hagakure. Critics have noted similarities between the movie and Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 film Le Samouraï.
Ghost Dog (Whitaker) sees himself as a retainer of Louie (John Tormey), a local mobster, who saved Ghost Dog's life years ago. While living as a hired hitman for the Italian Mafia, he strictly follows Hagakure.
Louie tells Ghost Dog to kill a gangster, Handsome Frank, who is sleeping with the daughter (Tricia Vessey) of the mafia boss Vargo (Henry Silva). Ghost Dog arrives and kills the gangster, before seeing that the girl is also in the room at the time; she lends him a book; he leaves her alive, and exits. In order to avoid being implicated in the murder of a made man, Vargo and his associate Sonny Valerio decide to get rid of Ghost Dog. Louie knows practically nothing about Ghost Dog, and the hitman communicates only by homing pigeon. The mobsters start by tracing all the pigeon coops in town. They find Ghost Dog's cabin atop a building and kill his pigeons. Ghost Dog realizes he must kill the entire mafia or otherwise they will kill him and his master.
During the day, Ghost Dog frequently visits the park to see his best friend, a Haitian ice cream salesman named Raymond (Isaach De Bankolé) who speaks only French. Ghost Dog doesn't understand French and Raymond doesn't understand English, but the two seem to understand each other. Ghost Dog also makes friends with a little girl named Pearline (Camille Winbush), to whom he lends the book — Rashōmon and Other Stories — he received from Vargo's daughter. Paralleling a major theme of Rashōmon, Louie and Ghost Dog have different accounts of the circumstances of their meeting: in Louie's flashback he shoots Ghost Dog's attacker in self-defense, while in Ghost Dog's flashback, Louie shoots the attacker just as the attacker is about to kill Ghost Dog.
Eventually, Ghost Dog attacks Vargo's mansion single-handedly and kills almost everyone he encounters, sparing only Louie and Vargo's daughter. Though Louie feels some loyalty to Ghost Dog, he also feels that he must avenge the murder of boss Vargo, but it was stated that Vargo's daughter ordered him to murder Ghost Dog. At night, Ghost Dog kills Sonny Valerio in his house, shooting a bullet through Valerio´s bathroom pipe.
Louie finally confronts Ghost Dog at Raymond's ice cream stand with Raymond and Pearline watching, after he gave his copy of Hagakure to the latter. Ghost Dog is unwilling to attack his master and allows Louie to kill him. His last act is to give Louie the copy of Rashōmon and encourage him to read it.

The film was shot mostly in Jersey City, New Jersey, but the movie never mentions where the story is set. License plates reveal it is in "The Industrial State"[1] and a vehicle from another state has on its license plate "The Highway State", both of which are fictional state nicknames.
Cartoons are also used as a metaphor to scene or plot dynamics. Handsome Frank watches a cartoon featuring Betty Boop corralling her pigeons moments before Ghost Dog, a fellow pigeon raiser, arrives to assassinate him. Ghost Dog is later seen handling his pigeons in the same manner as Betty. Boss Vargo watches a Felix the Cat cartoon wherein the Professor voices his frustration at capturing the elusive Felix and his magic bag, mirroring the mafia's inability to find and eliminate Ghost Dog, who carries his weapons and equipment in a black briefcase. Vargo and his daughter, Louise, watch a Woody Woodpecker cartoon in the car, immediately after Ghost Dog has been distracted by a woodpecker while sniping in the woods. The cartoon features a staring contest between Woody and the Grim Reaper. Vargo's daughter watches The Itchy & Scratchy Show before the equally violent battle which concludes the film.
Critical response to the film was largely positive. On the Rotten Tomatoes review site, the film received an 81% "Certified Fresh" rating. The critical consensus was that the movie is "An innovative blend of samurai and gangster lifestyles."[2] The film was nominated for a few awards but did not win any of them. Among the nominations were the Grand Prix of the Belgian Syndicate of Cinema Critics, the César Award for Best Foreign Film of 2000[3] and the Palme d'Or award at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.[4] The film grossed a worldwide total of $9,380,473, of which $3,308,029 was in the United States.[5]
Casting notes[edit]
Gary Farmer is credited as playing a character named "Nobody", the same name as his character in Jarmusch's 1995 western Dead Man. After he is confronted by some mob hitmen on his roof, Nobody repeats one of his lines from Dead Man: "stupid fucking white man!" Forest Whitaker's younger brother Damon Whitaker plays the role of the young Ghost Dog in the flashback sequences.
The film's score and soundtrack is the first produced by the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA.
US and Japanese versions of the soundtrack album have been released, each with a different set of tracks. The Japanese release also has some songs not in the film.[6] Songs in the film that don't appear on either soundtrack album include From Then Till Now performed by Killah Priest, Armagideon Time performed by Willi Williams, Nuba One performed by Andrew Cyrille and Jimmy Lyons and Cold Lampin With Flavor performed by Public Enemy.[7]
Cultural references[edit]
The film has been interpreted by critics as an homage to Le Samouraï, a 1967 crime-drama by Jean-Pierre Melville starring Alain Delon. That movie opens with a quote from an invented Book of Bushido and features a meditative, loner hero, Matt Prinz. In the same manner that Ghost Dog has an electronic "key" to break into luxury cars, Costello has a huge ring of keys that enable him to steal any Citroën DS.[8][9] The endings share a key similarity. Moreover, the peculiar relationship between the heroes of both movies and birds, companions and danger advisers, is another common point.
The film contains a number of references to Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill, such as when a bird lands in front of Ghost Dog's rifle scope, referencing the incident with a butterfly in Suzuki's film.[10] Ghost Dog shooting Sonny Valerio up the drain pipe is taken directly from Branded to Kill. The movie was adapted into a role-playing game by Canadian game publisher Guardians of Order. The game focused on two person (one player and one Game Master) group play and resource information about the movie and the real-life Mafia.[11]
In the song "Stay Schemin'" rapper French Montana mentions "Pigeons on the roof like Ghost Dog" alluding to this movie but also creating a double entendre as "pigeons" is a slang term for packages of cocaine.

52 Magazine Launches, 12 Closures in Q1 2012
B-to-b sector gets eight new titles.
2012 started off strong with 52 new titles launched and only 12 folds, according to online database MediaFinder.com. Niche magazines replaced regionals as the most fertile launch category in the first quarter of this year, with new restaurant, hunting & fishing and lifestyle titles hitting newsstands.
While the number of launches fell slightly from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012 (down from 54 to 52), closures fell dramatically. The first three months in 2011 saw 24 closures, while the same period in 2012 only had 12 magazine shutters. Among those titles is Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade and Spa in the consumer sector; b-to-b media lost Pharmaceutical Representative and Heat Treating Progress.
New titles include five DiningOut guides, produced by Pearl Publishing, and four books from J.F. Griffin Publishing in the hunting & fishing category. It's been a lucrative quarter for lifestyle/luxury titles as well, with Bloomberg Pursuits' debut and the return of TIME's Style & Design.
The business-to-business category added eight new titles, including Professional Yacht Broker.

This section of the website allows accredited members and interested parties to download applications and forms for several different areas including program development, self-study materials and branch applications. In order to view most of the applications, you may need to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please see the downloads page for access to all applications and forms.
A branch campus is any location of an institution other than the main, but under the same corporate structure as the main campus (i.e., part of the main campus corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary), that (1) is permanent in nature; (2) offers a full program leading to a degree, certificate, or other recognized credential; and (3) is geographically separate from the main campus such that students may not easily avail themselves of educational, financial aid, and administrative services of the main campus.
Part I of the application consists of the general academic and financial information about the facility and outlines the readiness of the location to begin enrolling students. The application fee of $2500 and two copies of the application (one hard copy and CD ROM), with accompanying exhibits, must be received in the Council office prior to the initiation of classes.
Part II of the application must be completed within twelve months of the date of initial inclusion and consist of a number of questions about the Institutional Effectiveness Plan, administration, student services, business activities, course offerings, and other basic operational questions.
Faculty Development Plan – Section 3-1-543 of the Accreditation Criteria requires institutions to establish faculty development plans including in-service and/or professional growth activities to enhance faculty expertise. The plan must be in writing and may consist of in-service activities, professional growth activities, or a combination of both.
The Council must be notified prior to the start of any new program and must issue its approval before an institution advertises, recruits, or enrolls students in the proposed program.
A Non-substantive Program Modification Form must be submitted for the following changes
The academic credit analysis form allows institutions to list each course in a program, even if it is not being taught, and indicate how many contact hours are lecture, how many are laboratory or skill-related, and how many are required in an externship/internship.
A learning site is a non-main campus which does not meet the definition of a branch. Examples of learning sites may include government or corporate training, classes for high school students, temporary classroom space, and sites where only portions of a complete program are offered.
Section 2-2-400 of the Accreditation Criteria provides for an automatic, self-executing discontinuation of accreditation effective on the date of a change of ownership/control of an institution accredited by ACICS. It then becomes the responsibility of the institution under the new change of ownership or control to seek a reinstatement of accreditation.
Section 2-2-601 of the ACICS Accreditation Criteria governs changes of name.
Section 2-2-602 of the ACICS Accreditation Criteria governs changes of location.
A Distance Education Application must be submitted and approved by ACICS prior to the initiation of any distance education or online activity, including one or more courses or entire programs.
If your institution plans to cease operations at its main and/or nonmain campuses:
