Lincoln-Way East quarterback Tom Fuessel (18) committed to coach Pat Fitzgerald and Northwestern Saturday. | Bradley Leeb~AP
Tom Fuessel, seven days after leading Lincoln-Way East to the Class 7A state title game as a Northern Illinois recruit, confirmed Saturday he will instead suit up for Northwestern as a collegian.
Or, more correctly, his father confirmed it.
"Done deal. Go Wildcats," Fuessel's father, Tom Jr., said early Saturday in a text message.
Fuessel, the Griffins' quarterback, decommitted Monday from NIU, and visited and was offered a scholarship by Northwestern on Friday. Though a Saturday dinner with Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, a Sandburg alum, was planned, it wasn't necessary to seal the deal.
After touring Northwestern's campus, including Ryan Field, on Friday, Fuessel's father said, "It's exciting. It's all happened so fast."
Much like Fuessel's rise from a junior backup to senior blue-chipper.
After backing up Blake Winkler, who's now at Illinois State, in 2011, Fuessel produced a remarkable 2012 season, compiling more than 2,500 total yards while leading the Griffins to a 13-1 mark.
During a summer camp, Fuessel caught the eye of coaches from Northern Illinois, which offered the 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior a scholarship.
As Fuessel's star rose during the Griffins' march to the 7A state title game — which they lost, 10-8, to Glenbard West — NIU coach Dave Doeren was making his own ascent.
The Huskies have won 12 straight, including Friday night's 44-37 double-overtime thriller over Kent State in the Mid-American Conference title game. Doeren is among the names mentioned for virtually every big college football job that comes open.
Knowing the coach who recruited him likely could be moving on, if not after this season possibly in the next couple of years, Fuessel decided to re-examine his options.
Blessed with blazing speed — Fuessel has posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.3 seconds — and the shiftiness to avoid defenders, Fuessel registered more than 1,500 yards rushing and 1,000 yards passing as East won its first 13 games.
With Maine South quarterback Matt Alviti, a more prototype drop-back passer, already having committed to Northwestern, Fuessel is expected to provide a dangerous alternative as a run-first quarterback.
However, the Mokena resident also likely will find himself lining up at receiver and running back, similar to current Wildcat Kain Colter.

Art & Art History Home > Undergraduate Program > Art History Major
Undergraduate Program in Art History
Art History/Visual Culture is a field of study in which the information and methodologies of many fields come together. The discipline of art history/visual culture involves the analysis of the work of art itself—understanding its form, and why and how we make use of it. It is also the investigation of its historical context and mode of production. These inquiries can lead in many different directions involving economic, social and gender issues; problems of patronage and taste; and questions of exchange, reception, conservation, and restoration. Art historical studies draw upon adjunct areas of study such as cultural and intellectual history, psychology, literary criticism, religion, philosophy, sociology, archaeology, and the history of science. The history of art/visual culture is an ideal field for a student who wishes to aquire a general cultural background, to develop analytical and writing skills, and to sharpen critical sensibilities.
Major in Art History
For those who wish to major in Art History/Visual Culture, the Department offers a variety of approaches structured around each student's individual interests and career plans. Students construct their studies with the aid and direction of the Department advisor and a faculty sponsor, following three areas of concentration:
- Studio Theory and Practice
- History and Theories of Art
- Visual and Cultural Studies
These are common areas that respond to the various ways student wish to explore art and visual culture. They provide guidelines that allow students to combine courses from different departments into an individualized major within the Department of Art and Art History.
- Requirements for a student majoring in art history/visual culture:
- Any three 100-level introductory courses in the major. Suggested introductory level courses include:
- Four 200/400 level program courses, one of which may be an independent study or internship.
- One Sophomore/Junior Seminar, AAH 209 Writing on Art.
- One Senior Seminar, AH 398, which is offered every autumn.
- One course in studio art.
Study abroad during a fall or spring semester in the University's European Arts Internship program is encouraged for majors and non-majors alike. In Europe, there are opportunities to work in institutions, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of London, and internships can be arranged in Paris, Brussels, Bonn, and Madrid.
In addition, the Department offers an Art New York semester, which includes an internship and coursework as well as intensive exposure to art history/visual culture and contemporary art-making in New York City's museums, galleries, studios, and cultural institutions.
Requirements of Honors in Art History:
A student wishing to be considered a candidate for honors in art history/visual culture must meet the following requirements before applying:
- Have a grade-point average of 3.5 within the major.
- Have completed the introductory courses and at least three courses in the student's program, or have demonstrated proficiency in a number of related courses in the field.
- Have completed a 300-level or higher art history/visual culture course or have otherwise demonstrated competence in the area of study of the proposed honors project.
To apply, a student must submit to the Department an honors project proposal, the subject of which has been mutually agreed upon (signed) by the student and his/her chosen faculty advisor early in the junior year. Following the acceptance of the proposal by the Department, the candidate must fulfill the following requirements.
- A minimum of twelve credit hours beyond the major requirements, with the following distribution:
- Four credit hours in a 300-level seminar in art history.
- Four credit hours in AH 393, senior project (the honors course).
- Four credit hours in a course given outside the Art and Art History Department (e.g., in the History Department) that is related to the honors project. This is intended to provide a broader and deeper understanding of the period or area of the honors project and normally will be a 200-level course selected in consultation with the honors faculty advisor and taken in the spring semester of the junior year or fall semester of the senior year.
- Completion of a distinguished essay approximately thirty-five pages in length. This may be a seminar paper further researched and suitably expanded, or it may be the direct product of AH 393 (senior project). In addition to the student's project advisor, a second reader (selected together by the advisor and the student) will evaluate the essay.
- Maintenance of a 3.5 grade-point average within the major.
- Submission of two complete copies of the essay, one of which will be preserved by the University.
Requirements Graduation with Distinction:
Grade point average is calculated only from the required major courses. Transfer grades and study abroad grades (unless given by the University of Rochester) are not computed. Levels of distinction are rated by a mininum GPA as follows:
- With Distinction: 3.5
- With High Distinction: 3.7
- With Highest Distinction: 3.9
Minor in Art History
A minor in Art History provides an introduction to the field and advanced level of study in a defined area. Individual programs can be designed in consultation with the advisor for art history.
- A minor consist of five courses:
- Two or Three 100-level courses from the group listed above for majors.
- Two or three 200-level program courses.
Independent Study in Art History
- Topic for exploration must not be available within the regular offerings of the Department (schedule conflicts are not a rationale for Independent Study).
- Faculty director must have relevant expertise in topic area and be willing to supervise the student and to sign a contract stipulating agreed upon requirements.
- Students must be in their junior and senior year and they must have previously completed a sufficient number of art history courses.
- The semester must result in a research paper or equivalent project at an advanced level of achievement.

Eye On The Storm
Tag: Mexico
Karl could become a major hurricane before landfall Friday
- 5:41 pm Thursday, September 16th, 2010 by Associated Press
Karl reached hurricane force in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday and is expected to strengthen more before hitting Mexico's coast near a port and an oil hub on Friday.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said there is a possibility that Karl could become a major hurricane with winds of 110 mph or higher before making landfall.
The Mexico government issued a hurricane warning for a 186-mile stretch of coastline in Veracruz state, stretching northward from the city of the same name. On its predicted path, Karl could make landfall near Tuxpan and the oil hub of Poza Rica.
Authorities in Veracruz — whose southern half has suffered severe flooding over the past few weeks — braced for a hit on its northern coast, preparing sleeping mats, bottled water and other supplies for anyone taking refuge in shelters. Workers in Veracruz city cut dangerous tree limbs that could become flying debris.
In the beach town of Tecolutla, just south of Poza Rica, fishermen and operators of small tour boats were pulling their craft out of the water.

If you're a progressive, it's as simple as this: While AT&T and Verizon Wireless fund radical right politicians, we fight them. We fight them through our network of more than 3 million activists at CREDO Action. And we fight them by donating millions of dollars to progressive nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, Rainforest Action Network, Human Rights Watch and the ACLU. In fact, we've raised $75 million for groups like these since 1985. Want to learn more about our activism and history? Check out our mission section.
New members on a two-year service contract get 30 days to explore their new service with CREDO Mobile before the early termination fee goes into effect. All service charges and late/damaged equipment fees will apply during the first 30 days.

After you join, we'll send you a contract buyout form. You'll need to pay the early termination fee at your old phone company. Then simply send our form back with proof of your early termination fee and we'll credit your CREDO account.
Under CREDO's arrangement with Sprint, CREDO members have access to service anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint Network, reaching more than 280 million people.† The 4G LTE network is available in select markets for 4G LTE-compatible smartphones. Be sure to check our coverage maps for the latest coverage information. You'll need to check voice and data coverage separately.
†Although Sprint provides CREDO members access to its wireless network and to its wireless services, CREDO is responsible to CREDO members for the services. Please call CREDO with any questions or comments about services. Sprint is a trademark of Sprint.

CARY — After a mostly quiet first half during which Green Hopes Eli Murrane caught just four passes for 12 yards, the senior wide receiver knew he had to come up with a few plays in the second half if the Falcons were going to win.
Two touchdowns and 121 more receiving yards did the trick. Behind Murranes hands and the Falcons defensive effort, Green Hope ground out a 20-16 win over the rival Imps.
I had to turn it on at some point and make some plays, Murrane said. I was losing hope in myself. But I gathered myself back up.
Murrane was particularly shaken after muffing a punt inside his 20-yard line that gave the ball back to the Imps. But the Falcons defense held, and the Imps settled for Jack Longs 29-yard field goal that gave Cary a 10-6 lead.
On the Falcons next possession, Murrane got behind the Imps secondary and hauled in a pass from quarterback Luke Massei, going 63 yards for a 13-10 lead.
Cary regained the lead, 16-13, with 7:23 to play on Isaiah Gibbons 2-yard run.
Green Hope responded on the next drive. Murrane caught passes of 25 and 26 yards on the 63-yard drive, the latter his second touchdown of the night.
While Murrane broke out in the second half, the night belonged mostly to the defenses.
The Falcons held Cary to 109 rushing yards. The Imps entered the night averaging 286. Green Hope also intercepted two passes.
Cary, meanwhile intercepted three passes, including one that Anthony Rush tipped at the line and returned 38 yards for a touchdown that gave the Imps a 7-6 lead early in the third quarter. Twice in the first quarter, Carys defense turned away the Falcons when they started with the ball inside the Imps 40-yard line. Not only did the Imps keep the Falcons from scoring, they didnt allow Green Hope a first down on either possession.
But once Murrane and the Falcons demonstrated their ability to strike quickly, it was up to the teams defense to step up.
(Carys) bigger than us, Green Hope coach Kwame Dixon said. We had to be ferocious in our attack. ... Hats off to my kids. They had to overcome some size disadvantages, and they never quit.

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) -- Senor Rain beat Brigand by 1 1/2 lengths Friday in the $58,350 feature at 21-1 odds at Santa Anita, leaving trainer Peter Miller impressed enough to consider a Kentucky Derby bid for the 3-year-old Indiana-bred gelding.
Ridden by apprentice Eswan Flores, Senor Rain ran seven furlongs in 1:21.50 and paid $44.80, $12.20 and $3.80.
Miller says it was by far Senor Rain's best race and if the gelding takes them in the direction of the May 5 Kentucky Derby then he says they'll go.
Brigand returned $5 and $2.40, while Consulado was another 1 1/2 lengths back in third and paid $2.10 to show as the odds-on favorite.
Flores says Brigand tried to bite his horse during the stretch run, which allowed him to pass Brigand.
The victory, worth $34,800, increased Senor Rain's career earnings to $119,216, with three wins in nine starts. His had two third-place finishes in his four previous starts, although he was soundly beaten in his last start when he finished ninth in the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields on Feb. 18.

We now know what the draft ASEAN Human Rights Declaration will say. Is it good news or bad news for LGBTI? Douglas Sanders looks at the issues. First the bad news. We are not named. In the anti-discrimination provisions there is no reference to "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" or "gender expression." Perhaps we don't exist. Secondly, marriage involves "men and women," which sounds like it does not include two men or two women.
There are three important parts to this provision: (1) a general rejection of discrimination "of any kind", (2) examples of prohibited grounds of discrimination, such as race and sex, and (3) an added catch-all category – "or other status" – to make sure that the section is not restrictively interpreted. We are included, but we are not named.
For us the ASEAN draft declaration on human rights is not a step backward. In fact it pushes the four countries (Brunei, Malaysia, Myanmar and Singapore) a bit closer to the realities of the 21st century.

The Boston Marathon explosions are prompting questions about the safety of all sporting events. Experts say vigilance is one way those who attend sporting events can help keep themselves and others safe.
"It goes back to the idea of situational awareness, where you have to be aware of what's going on around you," said John Miller, Associate Dean of the College of Health and Human Services at Troy University and an expert in sport venue management and risk management. "Maybe somebody would see someone putting down a knapsack and walking away. That's not necessarily a normal activity, so we have to be more aware of what people are doing."
Miller said the marathon explosions will serve as a teaching tool, which can help event and venue managers provide enhanced security and more preparedness for potential disasters.

The recently published 232-page book is the brainchild of Vallejo Police Department Lt. Joel Salinas whose specialty in maps, photos, diagrams and animated movies of traffic collisions has taken him the world over.

Nebraska's Bo Pelini held his spring presser and had plenty to say about this year's Husker football team. The shocker? Everyone will be playing quarterback.
Ameer Abdullah's back to return kicks, and Brett Maher is back to do all of the kicking in 2012.
With Alfonzo Dennard heading to the NFL and inconsistent play by everybody else, both cornerback spots should be wide open this spring.
Who will replace Austin Cassidy this fall? And maybe more importantly, will this group improve overall this season?
Nebraska essentially replaced Jared Crick at midseason, so two experienced tackles return in 2012.
Does a coaching change signal a potential change in philosophy with the defensive ends?
With 5 players returning with starting experience, there's a lot to look forward to up front.
Kyler Reed and Ben Cotton return. Is this a position of strength for Nebraska in 2012?
Kenny Bell had a solid freshman season, while Jamal Turner caught fans fancy early in the season.
"Superman" Rex Burkhead just about does it all for the Huskers. But what about the guys behind him?

Eau de Brooklyn
Who knew Brooklyn would smell so good? Developed by a neurologist in Boerum Hill, Eau de Brooklyn started out as a hobby and eventually turned into products like soap and eau de parfum. I happened upon a bottle in DUMBO at Loopy Mango [great store by the way!] and am completely hooked! Great as a gift!

Icit You moron bring it on ass hole my name its Todd you ass licking son of a dog .. Why dont you go eat Grudens jock strap..
Yeah 392 yards and 3 scores- yet defense and ST's gives up 400 and it's Grudens playcalling fault with a rookie QB?? What was it that Sapp said about Tampa fans
Why dont you meet me I will see what you call me then.. idiot ass whipe..You are the biggest joke on these boards..
Why dont you meet me I will see what you call me then.. Â idiot ass whipe..You are the biggest joke on these boards..
Internet tough guy alert--drink another
I said Gruden's play calling at the end was bad. That is the truth. Gruden called a good game but screwed up on that last drive big time.
They were playing the safeties down and stacking the box-- Caddy got stuffed alot in obvious running downs and did much better on proposed passing downs-- it was 4 down territory-- likely should have tried to run with 3 downs to make that but if that ball is thrown long enough it was 6 Galloway was open in one on one coverage you have to try nthat if it presents itself the goal is to score. Cant fault that if it is executed now can you. H ewould have been a hero if Grads can make that throw---but there was toomuch pressure and he couldn't step into it-- the others were obvious check downs by Grads cause nothing was there-- put it this way hindsight makes it all 20/20.

If you have questions or comments' please feel free to contact the Dean of Students Office at (859) 257–3754.A Note Regarding Observance of Religious Holidays
We know from self-study that the climate for learning on campus is critically important to student success and to the viability of our community. As we strive to ensure that our students, faculty and staff experience UK as a welcoming environment, we embrace the many aspects of diversity represented on campus and endeavor to be inclusive in the ways we live, learn and work here. This involves respecting, among all else, the religious diversity on campus. Throughout the academic year, members of our community observe various official high holy days of their respective religions. Urging sensitivity to the importance of these days to the observers among us, the campus should be reminded of the Faculty Senate vote that established the following rule:
"Faculty shall give students the opportunity to make up work (typically, exams or assignments) when students notify them that religious observances prevent the students from doing their work at its scheduled time. Faculty shall indicate in their syllabus how much advance notice they require from a student requesting an accommodation. Faculty may use their judgment as to whether the observance in question is important enough to warrant an accommodation, although the presumption should be in favor of a student's request. The Offices of Institutional Diversity, the Dean of Students, and the Ombud are available for consultation."
Thus faculty are to be flexible in allowing student observers to make up school work missed on the official or commonly recognized high holy days. Supervisors are urged to show the same sensitivity regarding employees.
The following websites may be helpful in identifying the high holy
days of various religions:

Review Details
Turquoise and Bone 108 Beads Meditation MalaProduct Review (submitted on March 7, 2013):
This is a very pretty mala. It isn't exactly what I was looking for, but close. The first thing I did was to untie it and customize into a different piece. The silver findings do look a bit cheap, so I left them out altogether. The three decorative beads plus findings for counters were very nice looking, but distracting to pass over. Plus, the bone beads and coral beads are identical in size, which I felt could become confusing. I left in two turquoise pieces for the counters, at the 36 marks instead of at 27 to divide it into three parts. Then, I added one of the coral pieces in between the guru bead and the other cone shaped bead, and knotted it three times at the end. What I ended up with was more humble looking than what I began with, but functions much better for my needs. All of the beads are in excellent condition, equally sized and the cord is very sturdy and complimentary in color. Overall, this is definitely a mala worth purchasing and a very fair price.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

As negotiations over the fiscal cliff get down to details, they will become more arduous — something that financial markets seem to be ignoring. The superficial appeal of proposals to limit tax expenditures, for example, will fade as the details become clearer.
Whether the negotiators can navigate the obstacles and still get a deal done before Dec. 31 remains an open question. Automatic tax increases and spending cuts are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of January.
On their face, proposals to raise revenue by limiting tax breaks enjoy unusual bipartisan support — at least when they are described generically as "broadening the tax base and eliminating loopholes." Enacting legislation, though, requires much more than such platitudes, and therein lies the political difficulty.
Take the recent proposal to limit itemized deductions to a maximum of $50,000 a year. According to the Tax Policy Center, that would raise more than $700 billion over the coming decade, almost as much as the marginal-rate increases the Barack Obama administration is proposing for high-income taxpayers. Because median household income is also about $50,000, that level of allowable deductions strikes most people as extraordinarily generous, adding to its luster.
Perhaps more important, the proposal doesn't specify which deductions would be limited, but rather leaves that up to the individual. It thus reflects the new fundamental law of political economy: The vaguer the proposal, the better.
Let's take a closer look at the effects of such a limit, though. In 2009, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service, taxpayers who itemized their deductions and had incomes of more than $200,000 had average deductions of $50,000 or more. For those with $200,000 to $500,000 in income, average deductions amounted to more than $51,000; from $500,000 to $1 million in income, the average was more than $100,000. At higher incomes, the averages rose further.
That households with incomes of more than $200,000 would be disproportionately affected by the deduction limit is neither surprising nor necessarily troublesome. Here comes the problem. In 2009, those taxpayers deducted more than $300 billion, 90 percent of which came from just three categories: taxes paid (mostly state and local taxes), home-mortgage interest and charitable contributions.

A loophole linking wireless networks and online gaming allows children to surf pornography or other objectionable content on the Wii, Nintendo DSI or Sony PlayStation 3 gaming consoles.
"Virtually any [gaming console] you can get now has a web browser on it," said Jeff Horton, owner of One Point Solutions Group of Germantown, Tenn. (http://www.onepointsg.com/), a network security auditing company. "And you can get to anything out there, completely unfiltered."
The access is unfiltered particularly if you don't have a password-protected and properly encrypted wireless (Wi-Fi) network.
"I can't believe you can do that," said Laurie Haddow, a parent of a teenager and a pre-teen who are avid gamers on the Wii. "And parents are clueless because they don't speak technology."
Horton recommended parents upgrade their Wi-Fi protection, including the installation of Open DNS's web-based security system.
Used by Horton's commercial clients to monitor their employees' online behavior while at work, Open DNS acts as a filter installed on your wireless router. It keeps a record of every attempt to access anything from any device connected to that router's network - computer, smart phone or gaming console.
Horton said the free version can store up to three months of data, all on a log that the user can access online.
Open DNS can also be customized to block up to 30 categories of objectionable content, or it can be programmed to block specific web sites.
"It can be anything from lingerie and swim wear to violence and hate speech," Horton said.
The one drawback to Open DNS: It only filters and monitors what's going through the Wi-Fi network it's programmed to patrol. If someone in the house figures out how to piggy-back another unprotected Wi-Fi network in the area, all bets are off.
"Kids are very tricky. They know how to get around things, so they'll connect their Wii to the neighbor's Wi-Fi," said James F. Ruffer III, a Memphis-based "ethical computer hacker" and security consultant. "And now, they're able to have full access to see whatever they want. They're not being regulated by Mom or Dad."
Which is why Mom and Dad are still the best gate-keepers of the family's Wi-Fi router.
"We need to protect ourselves from ourselves," Haddow said.

Mergus merganser
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Raymond Lee
Common Mergansers are streamlined ducks that float gracefully down small rivers or shallow shorelines. The males are striking with clean white bodies, dark green heads, and a slender, serrated red bill. The elegant gray-bodied females have rich, cinnamon heads with a short crest. In summer, look for them leading ducklings from eddy to eddy along streams or standing on a flat rock in the middle of the current. These large ducks nest in hollow trees; in winter they form flocks on larger bodies of water.
These are large, long-bodied ducks with thin, pointed wings. Their bills are straight and narrow, unlike the wide, flat bill of a "typical" duck. Females have shaggy crests on the backs of their heads.
Adult males are crisply patterned with gleaming white bodies and dark, iridescent-green heads. The back is black and the bill red. Females and immatures are gray-bodied with a white chest and rusty-cinnamon heads. In flight, both sexes show large white patches on the upperwings (larger in adult males).
Common Mergansers dive underwater to catch fish. After the chicks leave the nest in summer, the female stays with them as they grow up while males gather in flocks. In winter, mergansers form large flocks on inland reservoirs and rivers. They stay in these tight flocks to feed and court during the cold months. In migration and winter, they mix with other fish-eating, diving ducks such as Bufflehead, goldeneyes, and other species of mergansers.
These ducks live mainly on freshwater rivers and lakes. They are rare in the ocean, but they sometimes use saltwater estuaries in winter. They nest in tree cavities in northern forests near rivers and lakes.
Red-breasted Mergansers are somewhat smaller and thinner overall, with shaggier crests and thinner bills than Common Mergansers. Male Red-breasted Mergansers have reddish markings on the chest where Common Mergansers are clean white. Female Red-breasted are duller overall with less contrasting white on the throat than female Common Mergansers. Hooded Mergansers are much smaller and shorter-bodied than Common Mergansers. Female Hooded Mergansers are gray-brown overall with little contrast between head and body color. Male goldeneyes, both Common Goldeneye and Barrow's Goldeneye, are also mostly white ducks with dark backs and dark, triangular-shaped heads. Goldeneyes have thick, short bills and white patches on the face.
In northern forests Common Mergansers will take up residence in nest boxes near lakes or rivers, as long as the boxes are large with a large opening. You can find construction plans for appropriately sized nest boxes at our NestWatch site.
Common Mergansers are numerous in summer along rivers in northern North America, and many a canoe trip will turn them up without much trouble. Look for them sitting on rocks in midstream, disappearing around the next bend, or flying along the river, when their white wing patches and heavy bodies make them easy to identify. In winter, seek Common Mergansers on large rivers and lakes; look for them in large flocks mixed with other ducks such as Common Goldeneye and Bufflehead. Look for the sharp dark-and-white contrast of the snazzy males and the crisply defined, rusty heads of females.

Women's Basketball to Host USF in First Round of WNIT
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles will face the University of South Florida of the Big East Conference in the first round of the Postseason Women's National Invitational Tournament on March 21 at Alico Arena. The announcement was made late on Monday, March 17.
The Eagles, who posted a 21-8 overall record to date, earned the automatic bid to the WNIT after finishing second in the A-Sun regular season and will participate in the tournament for the first time in program history.
By earning a spot in the WNIT, the Eagles became the first team in history to play in the WNIT in their first year as a Division I program. No current A-Sun team has won a post-season game as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference. The last A-Sun team to win a post-season game was FIU in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament, where the Panthers defeated Marquette 59-45. FIU was also the last A-Sun team to win a game in the WNIT. The Panthers defeated Butler 79-75 (OT) in the first round of the 1993 WNIT.
USF, FGCU's first round opponent, holds a 16-15 record, a 5-11 league record and a 3-7 road record. The Bulls fell in the quarterfinals of Big East Conference to NCAA Tournament participant, West Virginia. The Eagles have never faced USF in women's basketball.
Smesko and the Eagles are currently 9-5 (.643) in non-conference play and 11-2 (.846) overall at home this season.
The Women's National Invitation Tournament is an annual tournament involving 48 of the nation's top women's Division I basketball teams. All games, including the semifinals and championship, are hosted by participating schools at their home facility. Every round is single elimination.
The Postseason WNIT features 16 first-round games, followed by 16 second-round games, eight third-round games, four quarterfinal games, two semifinal games, and the championship. The championship game is televised. The event offers 31 automatic berths, one to each conference, and 17 at-large berths. The WNIT field and bracket is announced late on the evening of the NCAA Tournament selections.
The 48-team tournament is a single-elimination event with all games played at sites of host schools. The WNIT is committed to offering deserved opportunities to women's basketball programs, and the tournament expanded to 48 teams in 2007. For the first time in history, each of the nation's 31 conferences was guaranteed a spot in the Postseason WNIT. At the same time, those automatic berths did not affect the number of deserving at-large teams, which has stayed around 17 throughout the years.
Game times will be announced Tuesday, March 18, by the WNIT. For more information, visit the Web site at www.womensnit.com.
This year's field features five teams from the Big 10, four teams from the Big East and four teams from SEC. Other conferences that got more than one team in the field were the Big 12 and Missouri Valley (three each), and the Sun Belt, Atlantic 10, ACC, and Colonial (two each).
Here are the 48 teams in the tournament:
Automatic Berths
American (Patriot), Arkansas-Little Rock (Sun Belt), Boise State (WAC), Boston College (ACC), Bowling Green (Mid-American), Charlotte (Atlantic 10), Colorado (Big 12), Dartmouth (Ivy), Evansville (Missouri Valley), Florida Gulf Coast (Atlantic Sun), Gonzaga (West Coast), Idaho State (Big Sky), Iona (Metro Atlantic), James Madison (Colonial), Kentucky (SEC), Marquette (Big East), Michigan State (Big Ten), North Carolina A&T (MEAC), Quinnipiac (Northeast), Prairie View A&M (SWAC),
Radford (Big South), South Dakota State (Summit), Southeast Missouri (Ohio Valley), Southern Miss (C-USA), TCU (Mountain West), Texas State (Southland), UC Davis (Big West), Vermont (America East), Western Carolina (Southern), Wisconsin-Green Bay (Horizon)
At-Large Berths
Dayton, Drake, Creighton, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi State, MTSU, NC State, South Carolina, South Florida, St. John's, Texas Tech, Villanova, Virginia Comm., Wisconsin

Obama announced a gun violence task force last week, and outlined proposals he supports on new gun control legislation: a renewed ban on assault-style weapons, limits on high-capacity magazines, and an end to the so-called "gun show loophole" on background checks.
The NRA has pushed back on the call for new gun legislation, calling for armed officers in schools and more of a focus on mental health. Well-known Republican pollster Frank Lutz slammed the NRA in response, calling the organization "out of touch" with its proposals.
Are they out of touch? Like everything else, Americans are divided along party, ideological, gender, racial, and socioeconomic lines on the subject of gun control, according to years of polling on the subject. But some of America's agreements might surprise you.

is it possible to read just the tag UID using QML?
doesn't seem to say anything about reading the UID, just the NDEF record on the tag. Since I'm not symbian dev, it would be nice to be able to do this with just QML.
However, if there is some easy solution where I can just copy paste correct symbian code classes and use it from QML I'll take it if you give clear instuctions what to do

Steelers S Troy Polamalu won his appeal of a $10,000 fine for using a cell phone on the sideline of a game, NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports, citing a league source.
Polamalu was initially fined after using his cell phone near the Steelers' bench during the Oct. 16 game against Jacksonville. He reportedly made a brief call to his wife after leaving the game with concussion-like symptoms.
NFL rules strictly prohibit the use of any electronic devices in the bench area from 90 minutes before the start of a game until the end of the game.

I too have always wondered how to define myself by the grade I climb and to know when I am better than other people, or if they are better than me (in which case I normally resort to petty comments regarding their girlfriends or clothing to cut them down to size). do tell. i think taking the hardest gym route you have done, subtracting the 5 prefix and adding a V is commonly acceptable yes?
Most recent onsight
5.9 climber
I love reading these. It really is priceless. It seems to starts with wanting to climb harder when you begin climbing. Then moves to wanting to climb HARD (definition varies based on where your from) or harder than so and so. Finally it moves to this,
I really find the opposition to honest discussion of grades to be quite perplexing. People treat grades as a taboo to talk about, and to discuss grades is often dismissed as elitist spray, or something of the like. This is absurd; grades are a useful and neccesary descriptor in climbing. Case study: last winter I met up to climb with a friend that I had not seen in a few years. He had been a rank beginner as of the last time we had interacted, but I knew that he had gained a fair bit of experience since then...but I didn't know exactly how much he had progessed. Since I knew that area in which we were climbing better than he, it was up to me to choose a wall at which we would both have fun. In order to make an informed decision, I had to know what grade he was climbing now. If he had progressed a lot and was climbing 5.12, then perhaps we would go to El-Rad-O-Cave. But if he was still climbing 5.10, then it might be best to stick to El-Fun-O-Slab. As such, describing "the grade that you climb" is a useful and neccesary metric to help everyone find a route that they will enjoy. The neccesary disclaimer, when trying to encapsulate youself as a climber in a single number, is that "your grade" is generlly different for different styles. As such, it is usually neccesary to say "I can usually redpoint 5.xx sport, onsight 5.yy sport, and tend to stick to 5.zz or below when climbing on long trad routes." Again, useful and honest reporting, in a simple, quantified manner, vastly facilitates the making of appropriate plans. Lastly, it should be noted that qualitative measures are not adequate. Calling something "hard" or "moderate" is meaningless, since the range of abilties in climbing is distruted on such a log scale. One person's "steep, hard, sustained route" is another's "warmup jughaul", and it can be hard to tell exactly what someone is talking about unless you attatch a number to it. Trying to describe climbing and make plans without grades is like trying to give a recipie and bake a cake without any measuring cups. A system of measurement is a useful thing.
The way the question was asked, was more of a "mine is bigger than yours" type of question. If randomly asked, out and about (NEVER happens) that is one thing. If discussing true capabilities with a potential new partner, that is entirely different. In the case of the former, a nice f-off might suffice. In the case of the latter, just be honest at worst, or play yourself down a bit at best. This discussion is almost like "how long are your skis?" as a system of sizing up. Pointless.
This thread is classic. It just begs for all the brilliant smart-ass answers so far. Hehe. I haven't been asked that in a long time. Ive had to fill out information sheets for guiding jobs and I struggle with estimations of difficulty. Everything's subjective isn't it? Somedays I pull 11s at the New or Red Rocks.... Somedays I fall on weird 5.8 at Seneca. Who knows? Oh, and by the way... Isn't the "grade" how long it takes to do the climb (grade I - VI) and the class is the difficulty (class 1 through 6) and then the class has subsections (5.0 to 5.15). That's how Ive always understood the Yosemite Decimal System
This whole thread is a good example of how people climb in different styles, for different reasons. When we don't recognize that, we all talk past each other. The question "What grade do you climb?" can mean several different things, depending on the context. - For a multipitch trad climb, it might make sense to give your reliable onsight grade, to help your partner(s) plan out what routes are reasonable. - For a sport climbing trip, it makes more sense to talk about what grades you want to attempt onsights and what grades you want to project, to help plan an itinerary. Your past achievements don't matter as much as your current plans. When querying partners, you'll get a much better response from "What kinds of grades are you looking to get on?" versus "What grade do you climb?" - The former is unburdened by expectation. - If you're trying to gauge personal progress (e.g. last year I climbed 5.10, this year I'm climbing 5.11), then use whatever you find most rewarding - reliable onsights, or max onsight, or max redpoint, etc. Heck, use "reliable 3rd-go redpoint in >80 degrees" if that's what gets you excited. - If you're trying to see how you stack up against another climber, then make sure you're talking about the same thing, and preferably agree on whatever form of "climbing grade" you are personally best at. Or better yet... don't. I've been asked what grade I climb perhaps once in the last 5 years. The vagueness and implied ego make it one of the worst (and least interesting) questions you can ask of a fellow climber.
Judge Smails: Ty, what did you shoot today? Ty Webb: Oh, Judge, I don't keep score. Judge Smails: Then how do you measure yourself with other golfers? Ty Webb: By height.
^^^ good points Rajiv From the OP's post, the technical term is "brownpoint". From a personal perspective, I brownpoint much harder than I climb...plz add this option
The grade you climb is the grade you can consistently onsight. Trad, of course.. sport isn't climbing.
5.16. Just to see what happens.
D's get degrees, snitches!
I normally say "I don't know" then I ask them how large their penis is and if they'd like to compare.
I typically like to keep my 8a.nu scorecard in my back pocket. Someone asks, I can whip it out and instantly give them average onsight ability, by season; which sport routes I've sent and plan to chop to bring back to true ethical form, and finally, a link to my sick vid that can give them all the beta for their futile flash attempt...
I tell 'em the grade of the climb I'm training for, which is usually bullshit. Then I lean back from them and yell "Jesus!" like something's dropping out of the sky, and when they turn to look, I run away.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Amid much speculation, WAVE 3 is first to confirm that a major retailer will be coming to Kentuckiana.
Late Wednesday night, officials at H&M, a Swedish clothing retailer which stands for Hennes & Mauritz, confirmed it will open a store at Oxmoor Center.
A spokesperson for the retailer says it will open in the mall in the Fall of 2013. Officials declined to say where in the mall the store would open or the size of the store.
A spokesperson for General Growth Properties, which owns Oxmoor Center and Mall Saint Matthews, said she could not speak about H&M coming to Louisville and even went as far as to say she didn't know where all the buzz was coming from.
The Oxmoor Center spokeswoman, however, said mall management would announce major changes at Oxmoor Center later this week.
The closest H&M stores to Louisville are in Indianapolis and Cincinnati. The international retailer has partnered with celebrities like Madonna and David Beckham over the years to design clothing lines for the store.
Wednesday night's e-mail from H&M stated:
The news comes while rumors are spreading that Nordstrom will open either a full-line department store or a Nordstrom Rack outlet store in Louisville.
Reached for comment Wednesday, a Nordstrom spokesperson would only say that they continue to receive good feedback from the Louisville market and said to "stay tuned."
It isn't clear where in Louisville a Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack store would be located.
H&M sells men's, women's, and children's clothing as well as some home items. Retail analysts compare the store to Forever 21, which is located at Mall St. Matthews, and Urban Outfitters, which is located along Bardstown Road.
Both Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 opened in Louisville within the past two years.
Despite Wednesday evening's e-mail from H&M that confirms the plans for a Louisville store, a spokeswoman with the retailer called it a "miscommunication" on Friday and said there is nothing to announce regarding a store at Oxmoor Center "at this time".

Cherokee Spring Nature Hike - At Cherokee Ranch and Castle
Those lucky enough to have hiked Cherokee Ranch know that there are a wealth of habitats and a rich flora that distract your eyes downwards, even as the vistas of the rugged backbone of the Rockies and distant misty towers of downtown Denver tempt you to look further away. We have experienced toasty winter days that were breathless and surprisingly sunny, as well as blustery days in the summer. One thing is for sure—you will never be bored on a Cherokee hike! This year we are starting much earlier—for better birding. But the plants will already be awake!
Spring comes gently on the Ranch: pasque flowers and easter daisies greet us as well as penstemons and numerous members of the pea family. What a great way to launch the new season than to amble through the Gambel Oaks seeking out early flowers and experiencing Spring Migration of several species of birds. The always spectacular Western Tanager is stopping off on its way from wintering in Mexico to its nesting area higher in the Colorado Mtns. You might see a Swainsons Hawk which has wintered in Argentina YES, ARGENTINA and makes the trip every spring to nest in this area. Nesting birds will be singing to attract a mate and establish a breeding territory. It is a great time to be outdoors.
Tour Guides: Mike Kintgen and Lynn Willcockson
$20 member, $25 non-member.
* Plants don't really care how you dress for the field trips but BIRDS DO!! It is easier to see birds if you DO NOT wear white or other very bright colors –i.e. yellow, orange or red. Also, bring your binoculars: they can be used for both birds and plants
* Please wear comfortable shoes and bring your own supply of water for a 2 hour adventure
*Directions and details for your hike will be emailed to your email address approximately one week before your hike
