The Ecological Society of America's Vegetation Classification Panel Changes in the natural resources fields (e.g., a shrinking natural resources base, societal shifts in values, etc.) are resulting in demand for an "ecosystems" approach to research, planning, and management (Jennings 1995). Yet, until recently, there was not a consistent set of defined categories for naturally occurring assemblages of species (Orians 1993) that can be reliably used as building blocks for characterizing ecosystems at alpha, beta, delta, and gamma scales of diversity (sensu Whittaker 1960, 1977). There has never been as much land cover mapping activity in the U.S. as there is today. Although the GAP state projects are the principal source of the increase, GAP overall is but one of several major efforts. With all this activity, the development of a broadly accepted classification system that is maintained within a scientific peer-reviewed arena and recognized by government agencies is critical. At the Ecological Society of America's (ESA)1994 meeting, an ad hoc group of members met to discuss the circumstance of and need for a standardized vegetation classification system. This led to the establishment by ESA of a standing panel on vegetation classification, made up of about 20 ESA members and several nonmember experts. The panel is working under the aegis of and with staff support of the ESA Sustainable Biosphere Initiative (SBI). The panel's mission is to provide a standardized, scientifically credible North American vegetation classification system, given the following objectives:
The panel held its first full meeting at the 1995 conference of the International Association for Vegetation Science and began by reviewing the standards being proposed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee's Subcommittee on Vegetation Classification (FGDC-VC). In summary, the ESA panel suggested that FGDC-VS adopt the following language regarding purpose and policy: "The purpose for these standards is to foster consistency, precision, and clarity in the structure, labeling, definition, and application of a systematic natural land cover taxonomy for the United States. Consistency, precision, and clarity are critical for effective and efficient decisions about resources where the focus is on complex natural assemblages of biotic organisms. These standards are intended for use by both federal agencies and other user groups, including those engaged in land use planning or management by county and state governments, teaching or research, and uses by the private sector. Widespread use of these standards will facilitate integration of land cover data collected by diverse users into a common national database, enhancing utility beyond single projects and establishing a long-term framework for the nation's natural land cover information." The ESA panel went on to comment on and suggest changes to the assumptions, guiding principles, definitions, structure, requirements, and procedures for reaching closure on standards that were then being proposed by FGDC-VS. At the panel's last meeting (March 17-19) agreement was reached to propose that ESA take lead in establishing the following:
Descriptions of each of these components are now being developed and will be presented to the general membership at the annual ESA conference in August.

Global documentary initiative on its first of three international journeys to film stories of those who have forgiven the unforgivable.
About this project
At 7:59am EST on May 26, a series of donations including one BIG donation came in that helped SMOOCH cross the $10,000 mark! The project is officially at it's goal!
We are absolutely stunned and overwhelmed by the generosity of friends, both old and new! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!You get the picture. :-)
We will continue raising money until the 31st. Our reason? Kilong's story is the first of 3 stories on 3 different continents that we plan to tell in the next 12 months, so any additional funds will go toward seeding the next story on another continent!
Thank you again for your support of SMOOCH! Looking forward to sharing this journey with you. If you have a forgiveness story of your own or know of a good one, please let us know!
Dawn MIkkelson
Overwhelmed with Gratitude Director
PS We also post regular updates, as well as other stories of Forgiveness from around the world our our Facebook page. If you're interested, please "like" our page https://www.facebook.com/SMOOCHDocumentary
SMOOCH is cinematic call for civility sparked by the remarkable story of Mary and Oshea.
Twenty years ago, Mary's 19-year-old son, Laramiun, was killed, shot multiple times in the head by Oshea, a 16-year-old boy, over a fight at a party. Convinced that Oshea was a monster, Mary saw to it that he was prosecuted vigorously in court. Oshea was sentenced to 25 years in prison. After more than a decade of introspection, healing, and support from friends and family, Mary made the courageous decision to visit Oshea in prison. That conversation, the first of many, lasted an hour. Over time, Mary has become like a second mother to Oshea. In the spring of 2011, after 17 years in prison, Oshea was released. The two now live in the same housing community, as neighbors and family.
This trailer for SMOOCH was awarded the first Pachamama Award from the Possible Futures Film Contest, an international competition with submissions from 44 countries. Our team, led by award-winning documentary filmmaker Dawn Mikkelson, is holding free and public "forgiveness story gatherings" around the world, and encouraging people to submit videos of their own stories online. We plan for the resulting film to represent people of all nationalities, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, and socio-economic backgrounds, to create an archive that showcases our shared humanity and demonstrates the power of forgiveness. Amongst these moments, we will share the stories of those who have chosen not to forgive, and others who struggle with whether and how to forgive or reconcile, illuminating the complexity and challenge of these deeply personal processes and emotions.
From an intimate telling of these stories, the producers of SMOOCH seek to create a global voice for reconciliation and forgiveness. By witnessing these stories, and participating in self-reflection, we hope that audience members can receive inspiration and tools to practice forgiveness and reconciliation in their own lives.
Now, in the second year of a four-year initiative, SMOOCH has already created national and international dialogue. The preliminary story from SMOOCH, featuring Mary and Oshea has been featured on NPR's Story Corps, NPR's All Things Considered, People Magazine, and ABC's The View. The following appeared on ABC Evening News as part of their Assignment America with Steve Hartman series.
Between 1975 and 1979, a teenage Kilong survived the Cambodian genocide that killed two million Cambodians, including his parents, grandmother, and youngest sister. His experience includes nearly starving to death in a Khmer Rouge labor camp. He eventually escaped to the United States where he excelled in school, receiving his master's degree in 1989. Now a U.S. resident with a wife and two children, Kilong has started a nonprofit to build schools for Cambodian children. As part of this journey, Kilong has met some of his torturers and even had the opportunity to kill a former Khmer Rouge village chief. Instead, he has chosen to forgive.
by Kilong Ung
They are forgiven but not forgotten.
If they reform and repent,
Then, one day, they and I may be friends.
Heinous crime against humanity was their offense.
They killed my youngest sister and my parents.
From my immediate family, they killed ten.
Yet, if they reform and repent, I may one day call them friends.
Your support will help us take our first journey outside of the United States and document the stories of Kilong Ung and the community of Battambang, Cambodia. Up until this point, our crew has been limited to shooting within the United States, completely on our own dimes. This next step requires a community of support.
This Kickstarter campaign for travel to Battambang, Cambodia is in support of the first of three international journeys outside of the United States to document stories of forgiveness and reconciliation for SMOOCH. The media attention surrounding our first story has created national and international interest in this project. Our following is growing and stories are being submitted from across the globe. We will continue to hold public forgiveness shoots and plan to select and film two more core stories for the film. We intend to build a grassroots and online following throughout production. Those who contribute to this project will receive updates on our progress, as well as exclusive photos and videos through production and distribution.
We will document Kilong's story, which includes introducing his wife and two young children to his homeland and family for the first time, and a dinner between Kilong's family and a Khmer Rouge family.
Beyond Kilong's story, we will also hold a public forgiveness stories gathering. This will be an opportunity for members of the Battambang community to share their stories and perspectives. Here's a clip from a public forgiveness stories gathering in Minneapolis, MN.
If you are able to contribute financially, we have amazing incentives to the right. If you can spread the word about our Kickstarter campaign to your friends, to your friends on Facebook, to strangers in the grocery store we would be eternally grateful!
We are grateful for the $10,000 donation received from the Fetzer Institute that will cover basic travel expenses for our crew to and from Battambang. Here's a breakdown of how we plan to use these additional Kickstarter funds:
1. Round trip airfare for Kilong and his family from Portland, OR to Battambang, Cambodia - $8,000
2. Translation and additional crew support in Cambodia, especially for SMOOCH forgiveness shoots. - $2,000
You will be an important part of an international initiative that inspires people to consider their thoughts and feelings about retribution, reconciliation, victimization, spiritual progress and psychological healing.
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. In other words, if we don't raise our goal of $10,000, we lose everything.

You patient care team team is led by faculty clinicians and comprised of residents, interns, registered veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, client services staff, and senior veterinary students.
Veterinary students will generally record the medical history and perform a physical examination on your animal before you meet the attending veterinarian, who may repeat the physical examination and request additional information.
Your primary care or family veterinarian is key in teaming with our staff as partners in the care of your animal. Your primary veterinarian is often the first line of defense in recognizing or diagnosing changes in your animal health, and can provide important medical history, diagnostic results and an overall description of your animal's health before arrival to our hospital. We communicate with them before, during and after your pet's visit or hospitalization at Auburn's Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Philipp Hessel
Philipp Hessel received his PhD from the London School of Economics, where he completed a dissertation examining how exposure to macroeconomic shocks during different and potentially sensitive life-course periods affects health at later–life. His research combines demography, public health, and gerontology and employs cross-national data from Europe and the US. Philipp's work was recently (jointly) awarded the Kalish Innovative Publication Award by the Gerontological Society of America. As a Bell Fellow, Philipp looks at the role of social protection programs in mitigating the health effects of recessions; he also is in the process of developing a new line of research investigating the health-effects of pension reforms across Latin America. email@example.com
Molly Rosenberg
Molly Rosenberg is an epidemiologist who studies how social, structural, and economic factors influence sexual health outcomes. Molly holds a PhD from the University North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MPH from the Yale School of Public Health. Molly's dissertation examined how the sexual health outcomes of rural South African adolescents are linked to the adolescents' association with two very different places: school and alcohol outlets. As a Bell Fellow, Molly continues with two lines of research related to sexual health in South Africa: the influence of child support grants upon fertility patterns, and the community-level determinants of HIV infection and sexual risk. email@example.com

Fahad Razak, MD
Fahad Razak is a staff physician at St. Michael's Hospital, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto and research scientist in the Keenan Research Centre, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute. He has a multidisciplinary background including biomedical engineering, epidemiology and public health, and a medical degree with specialization in general internal medicine. As a Bell Fellow, he is studying the causes and consequences of the changing shape of chronic disease risk factor distributions at the population level, with special focus on body weight. His recent work with SV Subramanian showed that in low and middle income countries, reliance on conventional and widely used metrics of population change may underestimate the degree of weight gain among high weight individuals and overestimate weight gain in low weight individuals. He is extending these findings to other risk factors for chronic disease and examine the patterning of these changes on social and demographic factors. Fahad completed his undergraduate degree in Engineering Science and Medical Doctorate at the University of Toronto, and MSc from McMaster University. firstname.lastname@example.com
J.M. Ian Salas, PhD

He was awarded his Dr. rer.soc. from the University of Mannheim in 2010. His recent work focused on institutional determinants of youth labor market performance and the formation of cognitive and non-cognitive skills in childhood and adolescence. As a Bell Fellow, he is examining the relationship between institutions, labor market dynamics and health outcomes. Part of this project will deal with how institutions regulating the incidence or consequences of unemployment shape health outcomes over the life course and across generations. (Noelke is currently a research associate at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies.)
2011-2013 Cohort
Hiram Beltran-Sanchez, PhD
Hiram Beltran-Sanchez's research focuses on developing and applying demographic methodologies to studying adult population health at national and individual levels. He obtained a PhD in Demography at the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. His research comprises two areas: national trends in adult morbidity, mortality and longevity, and health, health behaviors, and biomarkers in the adult Mexican population. As a Bell Fellow, he is extending his research by linking increases in life expectancy with human longevity, as well as implications of longer life expectancy on compression/extension of morbidity. He is also continuing his research on physiological and health patterns in the adult Mexican population and their links with earlier life conditions. (Beltran-Sanchez is currently a research scientist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison)
Rania Salem, PhD
Rania Salem's research lies at the intersection of the sociology of families, gender, economic sociology and development studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Sociology at Princeton University in 2011. Her dissertation examined the cultural and economic underpinnings of marriage in Egypt through a mixed-methods study of matrimonial transactions, and looking specifically at the gender and class meanings matrimonial transactions convey. As a Bell Fellow, she is extending her previous research on the measurement of women's work in Egypt to other Arab countries, where the low rate of female labor force activity is believed to be an artifact of the male bias of conventional labor force surveys. She is also collaborating on a project in rural Egypt that investigates interactions between women's wage work and experiences of intimate partner violence. (Salem is currently an assistant professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto)
2010-2012 Cohort
Analia Olgiati, PhD
Analia Olgiati is concerned with the impact of individuals' health status and their access to health services on South-South migration flows. Her research mostly focuses on within-country migration in South Africa. She obtained her PhD at Princeton University in 2010. Her thesis examined the funeral expenses, the mortality-related predictive power of self-assessments of health, and the internal migration flows of the population in a South African demographic surveillance area. As a Bell Fellow, Analia hopes to develop a research agenda focused on the health-related determinants of return migration. In particular, she intends to study the role of poor health outcomes on the decision to search home-based care by comparing migrants who are about to go back to their sending regions and migrants who are to remain in the receiving community. Analia will also analyze the role of public antiretroviral programs as attractors of returning migrants in poor health. She is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina and obtained a BA and MA in Economics from Universidad de San Andres. She has worked for the Argentine National Institute of Statistics and Censuses, the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank.

Broccoli, Cabbage, and Potatoes are coming from right down the road. These local crops don't have to travel far to go from homegrown to home-style in this area—it doesn't get much fresher than that!

If you haven't noticed, it's strawberry season! Furthermore, now is the time to put up strawberries in preserves and jellies, while there's still a chill in the air. This cold weather brings out the sugar in the fruit for the maximum sweetness to savor later in the year.
Making strawberry jam is easy. Check out this recipe at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/strawberry-jam/.

In season now, the Italian Blood Orange brings out a deeper tone to play against its citrus punch and lingering tang. Often used in vinaigrette-style dressings, these oranges make for good marmalade, gelato, sorbet, and sometimes show up in specialty beer. They're great freshly sliced too!

Satsumas originally hailed from Asia and take their name from the Japanese province of Satsuma, from which they were first exported to the West. They were introduced to the United States in 1876 and became the namesake of towns in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida—just south of St. Augustine. The Satsumas in our store are handpicked off Grandma's tree!

This book is the fifth volume in a series designed to make "the latest and best Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship accessible to scholars, students, and the thinking public" (i). The first volume was Eschatology, Messianism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, edited by Craig A. Evans and Peter W. Flint (Eerdmans, 1997). Other published volumes are as follows: Eugene Ulrich, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origins of the Bible (1999); Joseph A. Fitzmyer, The Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian Origins (2000); Jodi Magness, The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls (2002). Of these the most significant are, in this reviewer's opinion, the Fitzmyer and Magness volumes.
The Bible at Qumran focuses on two themes: the text of the Scriptures at Qumran together with its relation to canon and the ancient Jewish interpretation of these Scriptures by the community at Qumran and elsewhere (vii). The former of these themes is the topic for the first five essays by James A. Sanders ("Canon as Dialogue," 7-26), Bruce K. Waltke ("How W e Got the Hebrew Bible: The Text and Canon of the Old Testament," 27-50), Eugene Ulrich ("The Bible in the Making: The Scriptures Found at Qumran," 51-66), Craig A. Evans ("The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Canon of Scripture in the Time of Jesus," 67-79), and Peter W. Flint ("Noncanonical Writings in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Apocrypha, Other Previously Known Writings, Pseudepigrapha," 80-126).
Sanders's essay is nothing more than an argument for interfaith dialogue among the three monotheistic religions that leaves the reader thinking that the author's reasoning could equally result in everyone being willing to give up real grapes for plastic grapes in their diet, because he would see no real distinction between the two. Waltke's essay is excellent, but is identical to the one published in the first volume of The New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis (Zondervan, 1997). Ulrich's contribution is basically a description of the materials found at Qumran with a brief summary of his conclusions. Primarily, he interprets the biblical text of that time as pluriform and composed in multiple layers (65). Evangelical readers will appreciate Evans's essay and his discussion of the apparent tripartite division of the OT indicated by 4QMMT ("Matters regarding Works of the Law" from Qumran Cave 4) and Luke 24. He concludes that the two authors probably intended a merism—all parts of the OT attest to the points they were making (79). Variations in the use and definition of "Apocrypha" and "Pseudepigrapha" occupy Flint's attention in his essay. Besides providing new, more consistent definitions, he classifies the works found at Qumran into their respective categories. His treatment of Daniel as potentially pseudepigraphical (81, 108) mars an otherwise superb essay.
Six essays make up the latter part of the volume, giving attention to the theme of ancient Jewish interpretation inside and outside Qumran: James C. Vanderkam, "The Interpretation of Genesis in 1 Enoch" (129-48); Craig A. Evans, "Abraham in the Dead Sea Scrolls: A Man of Faith and Failure" (149-58); James E. Bowley, "Moses in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Living in the Shadow of God's Anointed" (159-81); James M. Scott, "Korah and Qumran" (182-202); Martin G. Abegg, Jr., "4QMMT, Paul, and 'W orks of the Law'" (203-16); and Robert W. W all, "The Intertextuality of Scripture: The Example of Rahab (James 2:25)" (217-36).
These essays examine the way the Qumran texts handle biblical texts like Gen 6:1-4 (Vanderkam's examination of 1 Enoch) and Numbers 16–17 (Scott's analysis of a Cave 4 fragment's reference to Korah). Evans attempts to deal with questions about the call of Abram (Gen 12:1-4) and about his deceptions (12:10-20 and 20:1-18). Bowley merely surveys the references to Moses in Qumran literature to conclude the obvious: Moses dominates the texts and much of the community's theological thinking (180-81). Theological and exegetical issues in the last two contributions are a bit more interesting. Abegg's essay looks at the phrase "works of the law" in 4QMMT and Galatians. After admitting that there is little common ground between 4QMMT and Romans/Galatians (206), he still concludes that E. P. Sanders's "new perspective" provides the solution (215, 216). Wall's treatment of intertextuality in Jas 2:21-26 reveals some very interesting parallel themes and vocabulary between the OT accounts of Abraham and Rahab and the text in James.

This movie is awesome!
I cried my ass out.Its so touching and romantic.Their love is so elevating and absolute...
They arent necasserily lesbians...Its just that their love for each other is as Best friends is SO intense that they just need to express it in that way...
I kinda connect to it.I mean,till date,watever relations ive had with a chick,its because im waaaayyy close to her.Basically,that girl would always be my best friend first.
Like now,i am in a relationship wit D.You know,my best friend.Who i hooked up with a year back.But today she asked me out "officially".She had been flirting quite a lot these past days.I dont say i dint enjoy it,cuz i did.So much,that i flirted back everytime.Thats why i said yes to her.That and the fact that i CANT say *no* to her. I just cant hurt her.Plus,i need it.I need someone else.Desperately.It will help me,ya know?
Anyways,back to the movie,its such a powerfull love story.Its beautiful...the way they have potrayed the characters and their love.But its sad the way people discriminate love on the basis on gender.It disgusts me.Why cant people just let go and accept us the way we are??!!
Lost and Delirious made me cry because i was touched by the beauty of their love.I cried because this world is unfair and you cant do anything about it.I cried because i could connect to the main girl in the movie.I cried because my story kinda relates to it...except i wunt let it be so tragic.
But overall,Its worth a watch.You must watch it.Make it a point.It stars Piper Perabo,Jessica Pare and Misha Burton.Piper is amazing at acting! Misha looks so cute and innocent! She was quite young in this movie...Hers a link to the movie's fan site:http://www.lost-and-delirious.com/movie_index.htm
If you watch this movie,watch Imagine and You also.It starts the same Piper chick.
This piper chick goes in my list *Girls i would love to fuck*

William D. Mullins Center (map it)
200 Commonwealth Ave
Amherst, MA 01003
William D. Mullins Center website
Year Opened: 1993
Capacity: 9,493
There are no tickets available at this time.
The William D. Mullins Memorial Center, which opened in 1993, is the home of UMass basketball and men�s ice hockey. Across the entry plaza is the Mullins Community Ice Rink, home to women�s ice hockey as well as various university and community skating activities. Seating 9,493 for basketball, the arena was built to replace the still-standing Curry Hicks Cage, which dates back to the 1930s. Beyond hosting sporting events, the Mullins Center is also well-known for being one of the largest indoor concert/event venues in western Massachusetts, with acts ranging from Sesame Street Live! to Kanye West to Metallica to Phish having performed there.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Apparently, the university has revamped the concession offerings at the Mullins Center in the last season or two, and the resulting variety is quite good for a college facility. Prices are not exorbitant but are certainly in line with those at a minor-league venue.
Many of the food selections come from nationally-known companies, like Nathan's hot dogs ($3.50), Subway sandwiches (6" sub for $4.50), Johnsonville sausages ($6.50), Legal Sea Foods clam chowder ($4/$5.50), White Castle cheeseburgers (2 for $3.50), Domino's Pizza, and Hershey's ice cream ($4/$5) and smoothies ($6).
Many of the other usual staples are available: burritos ($6.50), nachos ($4/$6.50), chicken fingers ($6.50), fries ($4), candy ($3), popcorn, ($3), water ($3), and soda ($3/$4) among other offerings.
Beer and other alcoholic beverages are not available at the Mullins Center.
I attended a university that lacked a football program and whose basketball team was not among the nation's elite. As such, the game at the Mullins Center felt to me very much the way I'd always imagined one featuring a "big time" college program would, based on what I've seen on television over the years. Like some, but certainly not all of the college venues I've visited, the University and Mullins Center management have done an admirable job of providing that caliber of a fan experience.
Walking into the building, whose modern exterior is an attractive combination of brick, glass and steel, I felt like it could easily be a minor-league facility in any decent-sized city. Looking around the room itself, Mullins features two primary video scoreboards on the wall at either end with secondary boards above the tunnels in the middle of the arena, and triangular NBA-style shot/game clocks on top of the baskets. Static ads are placed on one side of the court, with rotating ads on the other. Looking up to the rafters, banners hang for all the teams in the Atlantic-10 and Hockey East, as well as others celebrating both basketball and hockey accomplishments. Retired numbers, including Julius Erving's #32, can be seen on the wall on one end, near the video board.
As is becoming the norm with pro teams and many college programs these days, the home team was greeted to the floor with a very elaborate, professionally-presented introduction sequence: lights dark, spotlights, video display, intense music, with cheerleaders, dance team, baton twirlers, and mascot all on the floor, and UMass players introduced individually by the PA announcer, who was standing on the court and decked out in a Minutemen jersey.
The arena was 2/3 full at tip-off and continued to fill in as the first half progressed to an announced attendance of 8,399 or 88% of capacity. Seating was in three groups on a single tier: court-side and lower level, separated by the hockey boards, and upper level seating. Seats were mostly full except at the corners. There was a lot of energy in the room early, and it generally kept up for the whole game with the exception of a lengthy scoring lull by the Minutemen in the second half. By sheer virtue of attendance and the vibe in the room, UMass basketball clearly draws support from many of the nearby communities in addition to Amherst itself.
Very little recorded music was played, from pregame to the final whistle. Instead, a large, jazzy/funky electrified band with horns located adjacent to the student section provided the soundtrack. Musical selections included songs from the White Stripes, Sublime, Green Day, and arena rock standards such as "Rock and Roll Part 2", among others, along with the themes from "CBS College Basketball" and "Rocky". The band also played brief licks on their instruments at appropriate points throughout the game.
Along with actually leading cheers throughout the game and performing various routines, cheerleaders went into the aisles during several timeouts. In addition, each and every Minutemen free throw was accompanied by a dance team routine that took place under the opposite basket.
Timeout diversions included promotions ("win x if you find a sticker from y on your scorecard", for example), a free-throw contest, a dance contest on the video screen, trivia, and away scores. Despite a very energetic, yet professional-sounding PA announcer who sometimes came onto the court for promotions and such, there were no exhortations to the crowd to "get loud", "make noise", etc. because fans were doing just fine on their own.
With the Mullins Center being located on one end of the UMass campus, there is no neighborhood in the immediate vicinity for the general public to partake in pre or post-game activities.
However there are many restaurants and bars in Amherst Center, heavily concentrated around a short stretch of Pleasant Street near the intersection of Main Street. This is a short drive away, perhaps five minutes in light traffic. One choice worth mentioning is Antonio's Pizzeria, one of the most authentic NY-style pizza parlors one will find outside of the Five Boroughs.
After peaking in the mid-1990s and bottoming out in the mid-2000s, the Minutemen appear to be on the rise. One reflection of that is strong attendance at games by highly engaged fans. Given that the nearest town with any sort of pro team is Springfield, it should come as no surprise that the Minutemen are afforded a degree of fan enthusiasm reflective of their prominence in Amherst and the surrounding towns. This could clearly be seen in the age range among fans and presence of many families at the game.
From the opening moments of the game, there was a reaction by the crowd to virtually every single play regardless of whether the outcome was positive or negative. Immediately after losing the opening tip-off, a "defense!" chant spread across the arena. The first couple of baskets were met with enthusiastic applause, while a short UMass scoring run soon afterward brought the crowd to its feet once the visitors took a timeout in a bid to halt the momentum. The Mullins Center absolutely lit up after a successful Minutemen alley-oop and dunks were met with a response that I can only classify as "pro" loud. Instances of random fans rising to their feet in reaction to plays were relatively frequent.
On more than one occasion, there was clear fan outrage at perceived blown calls. A play resulting in a downed UMass player (who ultimately was okay) was met with stunned dead silence. Tinges of frustration were most noticeable during a UMass scoring drought in the 2nd half, when plenty of audible groans on missed shots and bad passes could be heard. A Minutemen basket with an "and 1" foul that ended the drought brought a huge reaction. With UMass up by five points with five minutes to play, the crowd took it upon themselves to try to pump up team.
Unsurprisingly, the most visible and vocal fans were in the large (700-strong) and diverse student section behind one basket. Many were wearing t-shirts identifying them as members of the "Mullins Militia", a student-run fan group whose stated goal "is to make the Mullins Center the toughest place to play in America". Several had painted faces and a few even came in costume, with one person in a referee's outfit and another looking like a Teletubby quite visible in the first row. Even before the game started, they made their presence known by loudly booing the first mention of the visiting team's name during warm-ups. A "Let's Go UMass!" chant boomed out of the section immediately upon the completion of the national anthem. A shot clock violation by the visitors was met with a "You Can't Do That!" chant, and each opposing free throw was met with a cacophony of noise. Of course, a couple of students made inappropriate comments and gestures at various points, but that is hardly a shock given the circumstances.
Most people will drive to reach the Mullins Center. There is something very "New England-y" about driving to the UMass campus which, regardless of the direction one is coming from, is at least 10 miles from the nearest Interstate. This gives drivers a little taste of largely rural Western Massachusetts.
Depending on direction and how much time you want to spend on back roads, the Mullins Center is accessible from both I-90 (MassPike) and I-91, which is more direct.
There is ample parking in lots adjacent to the Mullins Center and in nearby fields.
Anyone looking to reach the Mullins Center via public transportation should consult Amtrak or bus schedules for details on getting to Amherst and the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority for local bus information.
The Mullins Center has four reasonably-sized restrooms for women and three for men that were overwhelmed only at halftime.
Seating for men's basketball is divided into four zones: Premier, Gold, Value, and Student. Premier consists of all court-side and lower level seating parallel to the sidelines, and the three middle sections of the upper level on each side. Gold seating is the remainder of upper level seating parallel to the sidelines. The Value zone is all seating behind one basket plus the adjacent corner sections. Student seating for men's basketball is general admission and basically mirrors the Value section.
Single-game ticket rates are as follows: Adult (Prem/Gold/Value): $18/$15/$12; Senior (65+)-Faculty-Staff: $15/$12/$10; Youth: $18/$10/$6; Group (Value): $6; Alumni Association Life & Legacy Member (Gold or Value): $6. A limited number of tickets for undergraduate students are available for no additional fee to those who have paid the UMass Student Athletic/Activity Fee.
Season ticket rates for men's basketball are as follows (16 games; Adult/Senior-Faculty-Staff-Youth): Premier $270/$235; Gold $210/$170; Value $130/$115.
Overall, nothing at the Mullins Center is unreasonably expensive and the product on the court is quite watchable, evidenced by the Minutemen qualifying for the NIT in 2012. As such, any college basketball fan should find a visit here quite worth it.
The Mullins Center features a nice UMass merchandise stand out in the concourse. I don't know about you, but I think Dr. J is one of the icons of the sport, so sitting in an arena with his jersey hanging is a real treat.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Number of kitties still need forever homes: All but 17 of 38 felines seized in Berwick have been placed
Thursday, September 26, 2013
BERWICK, Maine — The community continues to rally behind Red Barn to support the seized cats and kittens that were rescued from a home where they were not getting enough food and water.
As this major event has highlighted the cat-overpopulation concern in the area it has "resulted in rather a continual slow stream of kitties coming in," said Wheeler. Red Barn currently has a few kittens from another litter and a few adults that are in need of homes. Thankfully, the recent low cost spay/neuter clinics and the discounted services offered to Wheeler by Lucky Pet has aided in the spaying/neutering for this large influx of cats. In three weeks more than 50 cats were spayed or neutered from the downtown Berwick area alone through these services and donations from people across Maine, New Hampshire and some in Massachusetts. "I'm thinking of offering some of the cat food we've received to local people who are managing feral colonies as we received so much," said Wheeler who emphasized the importance of the trap/neuter/release method of reducing feral cat colonies.
Red Barn Professional Pet Services is located at 63 Blackberry Hill Road in Berwick. They can be reached by phone at (207) 698-4580 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Their hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sundays 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. |

Gold Nuggets beat SUNO by 32 January 10, 2008 Box Score NEW ORLEANS — Erica Turnbull had 18 points and eight rebounds Thursday, and Ashley McGill scored a career-high 13 points to lead NAIA No. 20 Xavier University of Louisiana to a 75-43 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference women's basketball victory over city rival SUNO. Turnbull and McGill combined to make 13-of-15 shots from the floor for the Gold Nuggets (12-3 overall, 2-1 GCAC). McGill was perfect on all five of her attempts, including three 3-pointers. Disha Leonard had 20 points — she was 12-of-12 from the line — and 11 rebounds for SUNO (4-6, 0-3). Eleven of 12 Nuggets scored, including freshman Johnna Williams, who had nine points in her collegiate debut. Xavier led 7-0 through four minites and never lost its lead. The Nuggets outshot SUNO 41 to 27 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Lady Knights 51-33. Xavier gained 24 turnovers, with Jarryn Cleaves and Alissa Thompson both collecting five steals. The victory was the 10th in a row at home for the Nuggets, who have won 58 of their past 60 games at The Barn. It was their biggest winning margin against SUNO since the 1995-96 season. Both teams will play GCAC road games at 5 p.m. Saturday. Xavier will visit Tougaloo, and SUNO will travel to Mobile.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

It is the season of handset manufacturers trading charges against each other and Motorola followed others in this trend as it filed a complaint against Research in Motion (RIM) accusing it of illegally using Motorola's technology even after expiry of licence period.
The issues relates to a proprietary wireless technology owned by Motorola pertaining to Wi-Fi access, user interface and power management. Motorola says that RIM's licence to use this technology expired in 2007. The two parties have till now failed to come to a consensus on this but RIM is still using the technology, alleges Motorola.
The company has now filed a case with the U.S. International Trade Commission. This is in addition to a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Texas.
"The ITC represents the best way to stop RIM from using the technology. The disagreement stems from a difference of opinion on the valuation of the patents, says Jonathan Meyer, lead attorney for Motorola.
Following Broadcom Corp.'s ITC complaint against Qualcomm Inc. in 2005, which resulted in a settlement between the bitter rivals, more companies have decided take a similar tack. Recently, Nokia Corp. filed a complaint against Apple Inc. in their growing spat. Earlier Friday, the ITC ruled that Nvidia Corp. infringed on three Rambus Inc. patents.
Motorola is seeking an injunction banning RIM products in USA.
The development follows Broadcom Corp approaching Qualcomm in 2005 and as recently as last year when Nokia accused Apple of patent violation.

In this lesson, students will explore the role of the individual in the modern world by closely reading and analyzing T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
In this lesson of the curriculum unit, students reconsider the events leading to U.S. entry into World War I through the lens of archival documents.
American foreign resonates with the debate over U.S. entry into the League of Nations-collective security versus national sovereignty, idealism versus pragmatism, the responsibilities of powerful nations, the use of force to accomplish idealistic goals, the idea of America. Understanding the debate over the League and the consequences of its failure provides insight into international affairs in the years since the Great War and beyond. In this lesson, students read the words and listen to the voices of some central participants in the debate over the League of Nations.
President Woodrow Wilson and his first Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan, rejected the Dollar Diplomacy that had guided U.S. relations with Latin America during the administration of William Taft. Wilson resolved that the United States would only recognize Latin American governments founded upon law and order, "not upon arbitrary or irregular force. In this lesson, students analyze Wilson's attempts to carry out this "missionary diplomacy" in Haiti and Mexico as well as the responses of selected Haitians and Mexicans.
In August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson asked Americans to remain impartial in thought and deed toward the war that had just broken out in Europe. For almost three years, the President presided over a difficult, deteriorating neutrality, until finally the provocations could no longer be ignored or negotiated. In this lesson, students analyze one of the most significant moments in twentieth century U.S. foreign relations: Wilson's decision to enter World War I in order to make the world "safe for democracy."
How did Americans "have fun" a century ago? In this lesson, students will learn how Americans spent their leisure time and explore new forms of entertainment that appeared at the turn of the century. In addition, they will learn how transportation and communication improvements made it possible for Americans to travel to new destinations.
President Roosevelt's proposal to provide direct military aid to Great Britain launched a nationwide debate over foreign policy that lasted through most of 1941. Should the United States observe its traditional policy of non-involvement in European affairs (to which World War I had been a notable exception), or should the United States take whatever steps were necessary (up to and, perhaps, including direct involvement in the war) to prevent a German victory?In this lesson students are introduced to the main arguments used by both sides in this great debate. Through the use of an interactive map and primary source documents, students trace the events of 1941, and think critically about what foreign policy would have best served national interests.
Although antiwar organizations existed even before World War I, it was during the interwar period that pacifism became the fastest-growing movement in America. Numerous American politicians, businessmen, journalists, and activists made proposals for multilateral agreements on arms control and collective security. Through an examination of memoirs, photographs, and other primary source documents, students examine the rise of antiwar sentiment in the United States, as well as some of the concrete measures taken during the 1920s to prevent the outbreak of future wars.
The historian and literary critic Paul Fussell has noted in The Great War and Modern Memory that, "Dawn has never recovered from what the Great War did to it." With dawn as a common symbol in poetry, it is no wonder that, like a new understanding of dawn itself, a comprehensive body of "World War I Poetry" emerged from the trenches as well.
Americans in the mid nineteen thirties turned increasingly pessimistic about the possibility of preventing the outbreak of wars through international cooperation and instead moved toward measures designed to prevent the United States from intervening in any foreign war that might occur. In this lesson students examine a series of primary source documents that will help them understand why these laws were passed, and how they were applied in the mid- to late-1930s.

Motorists are being warned that Costessey Lane has been closed off after a parapet was struck and collapsed at Costessey Mill Old Sluice this morning.
Traffic is being diverted via The Street, Town House Road, West End, Taverham Lane, Sandy Lane, Fakenham Road and back on to Costessey Lane.
The road is expected to be closed for at least two weeks as repair work can only begin once water levels in the River Wensum have subsided.
The repair work will take a week once water levels have dropped.

No Hampton I am not, but the bridge has weight restrictions for a particular reason you know.
Saturday, December 1, 2012
@ Mr Norton So you're an expert on piling and bridge design now?
Saturday, December 1, 2012
galjanie overseas... Sounds like you are yet another incomer trying to impose your views on the genuine locals, as for the 20mph limit and all the traffic calming in The Street there have never been so many accidents on this road since this waste of money was carried out, it was ill thought out and the obstruction near St Edmunds church is downright dangerous
Friday, November 30, 2012
Look forward to this being fixed and being used for its intended purpose.
Friday, November 30, 2012
This is great news. There is now very little traffic using The Street which is frequently blocked by vehicles trying to pass oncoming traffic. It is now pedestrian friendly and much quieter. I recommend the bridge be closed permanently, the 20 mph be enforced and people stop parking on the "shared" pavements.
Friday, November 30, 2012
BNP4GB - I have lived in Costessey for well over 20 years but I have witnessed the increase in traffic since the building of the Southern Bypass and I dread what will happen if the Northern Distributer goes ahead. I also do not like the traffic calming measures that were installed. My personal preference would have been to make The Street one way into the village and Folgate Lane one way from Townhouse Rd. This would (I believe) have improved the flow of the traffic without destroying the look of the street. However, I would still appreciate people driving a little more slowly through my village even though I am an "incomer".
Saturday, December 1, 2012
That whole stretch needs improving if they are going to build that new dual carriageway. The road is far too thin. Unless they complete the dual carriage way a full circle right through to the A47 in Costessey, rather than finish up near Taverham, the traffic is going to be worse. Especially at both the Roundwell interchange and Longwater roundabouts near Sainsburys. People at The Street will have all this new traffic to look forward to. That route should be cut off completely, with all traffic going down West End. It would be so much easier, if they just sacrificed parts of their garden, to widen the road.
Saturday, December 1, 2012
I can't see the bridge lasting much longer with the sat navs sending artics over it on a regular basis.
