Current Students
NOTE: In Fall 2013 the Radford Faculty Senate approved many improvements to the honors experience. Among these changes was the honors curriculum. Students who enrolled at RU during the Fall 2013 semester or earlier have a choice over which curriculum they wish to follow. Those who enroll during the Fall 2014 semester or later must follow the new curriculum. Both the new and old honors curricula are outlined below.
New Requirements to Graduate as a Highlander Scholar
Students who enrolled at Radford beginning in Fall 2014 are required to follow the new honors curriculum. To graduate from the Honors Academy as a Highlander Scholar, students must have a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average and complete at least 27 hours of Honors work in accordance with the requirements listed below:
- 6 honors credits in Univesity Core A courses (CORE 103, CORE 201, CORE 202)
- Of these three courses, CORE 103 is required of all honors students
- Of these three courses, CORE 103 is required of all honors students
- 9 honors credits in University Core B courses, including a course from three of the following five areas:
- Math
- Natural Science
- Humanities
- Visual and Performing Arts
- Social and Behavioral Sciences
- 9 upper-level honors credits, including at least three of the following four options:
- honors contracts in the major
- independent study (--- 498) in the major
- study abroad
- upper-level honors seminars (300-level or higher)
- honors contracts in the major
- 3 credit honors capstone project (---- 488)
- 3.5 cumulative GPA in all coursework at RU
Most students take 1-2 honors courses per semester during freshman and sophomore year. Students typically begin to contract courses or enroll in independent studies during junior year. The honors capstone should be planned during the second semester of junior year to be conducted senior year. Students who spend much of senior year at internship sites (e.g., education majors) should start their capstone one year earlier.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Honors Academy if you have questions about staying on track.
Old Requirements to Graduate as a Highlander Scholar
Students who enrolled at Radford in Fall 2013 or earlier have a choice between the new and old honors curriculum. To graduate from the Honors Academy as a Highlander Scholar, students must have a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average and complete at least 27 hours of Honors work in accordance with the requirements listed below:
- 9-12 credit hours of honors core curriculum courses
- 12-15 credit hours of courses with honors contracts in your major
- 3-6 credit hours for your honors capstone project
Most students take four core curriculum courses (around 12 credit hours), four major courses with honors contracts (around 12 credit hours), and a 3-hour honors capstone. The timeline below is designed for students who enter the Honors Academy the first semester of their freshman year. Students who do not enter the Honors Academy their first semester at Radford University should have no problem completing their Honors requirements. Note, however, that students who take the minimum 6 credit hours of Honors Core Curriculum courses would be required to contract the maximum 15 credit hours in their major and complete a 6 credit hour Capstone Project.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Honors Academy if you have questions about staying on track.
Typical Honors Timeline
Freshman Year (Fall Semester): Take Core 103 and one or two other Honors Core Curriculum classes if possible.
Freshman Year (Spring Semester): Take one or two Honors Core Curriculum classes. Meet with a graduate assistant advisor to fill out an Honors Plan of Study. The Plan of Study is a form that allows you to plan which classes you are going to take to complete the honors curriculum. This form needs to be completed and signed by your Academic Department Chair and turned back into the Honors Academy. Note: You must maintain a 3.2 cummulative GPA in all courses by the end of freshman year.
Sophomore Year: Take one or two Honors Core Curriculum classes each semester to fulfill remaining requirements. Even if you hit the number of credits you need in the Honors Core Curriculum, you are more than welcome to take the classes that you would otherwise need to complete to the Core Curriculum. Depending on your major and progress, you might start meeting upper-level honors requirements during the second semester. Note: You must maintain a 3.3 cummulative GPA in all courses by the end of sophomore year.
Junior Year (Fall Semester): If you haven't already, you should begin to meet upper-level honors requirements. Begin to think about which of your professors you would like to work with on your capstone. Continue taking Honors Core Curriculum classes if you want or need to do so.
*** Education Majors and others with off-site senior internships: Since you will be spending most of your time off-campus senior year, you need to begin working on your capstone the Fall semester of your Junior year - at the latest!
Junior Year (Spring Semester): Find a faculty mentor and begin discussing capstone project ideas. Meet with Dr. King or Dr. Christensen to dicuss the capstone project (for more information, view the link "Capstone Project"). You must also submit a 488 proposal for approval by your department and Department Curriculum Committee in order to register for their capstone (DEPT 488) course. You can sign up for the 488 credits either in the fall or spring semester of your senior year (dependent upon when you are doing a majority of your work). Have everything ready to go before you leave for the summer if you will be working on it in the fall semester. Note: You must maintain a 3.4 cummulative GPA in all courses by the end of junior year.
Senior Year: Turn in your capstone paperwork (if you haven't already done so!) and begin working on your project. You must present your project at the annual Undergraduate Research Forum in April or another approved professional meeting. Attend the Honors Academy spring banquet and look great in your Highlander Scholar regalia!!! Note: You must maintain a 3.5 cummulative GPA in all courses by the time you graduate.

Colostrum is an exceptional nutritional substance, produced by mothers for their newborns, that supports and nourishes the immune system. It provides a perfect combination of immune and growth factors including immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), amino acids and other important nutrients. For centuries colostrum has been used by most cultures for healing and wellness. Now with the latest research and technology, quality colostrum can be produced with precision to ensure a pure and potent product. Tegrice® (patent pending) is a novel nutriceutical designed to enhance general immune function and to help reduce the annoying and sometimes debilitating effects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It has been suggested to heal and repair damaged tissue from the use of NSAID's. Tegrice® is also beneficial in other conditions that cause intestinal damage. What makes Tegrice® Colostrum different is that all Tegrice® Colostrum comes from cattle raised in the United States of America and is produced from healthy, nutritionally-supplemented cows on USDA and FDA certified dairy farms.

you were probably a year early with our bet but i'll give it to you again thanks to the economy and lack of teams that would actually give out a big contract actually having the salary cap room to do such.
+/- of $8MM on Hossa's cap hit. i will again take the under.
i want the line moved to 7.8 million. i also think that montreal goes strongly after him. hossa's played in a bilingual market, and montreal is the only team with the money to throw at him.
Williams can play center as well. Zubrus-Williams-Clarkson is not a bad third line at all.
he's a quasi-center. i know he can play there, but so can zubrus, and i think zubrus is a better center. and if zubrus-williams-clarkson is the 3rd line, who is centering the 2nd line? rolston?

LG has hit us with its list of HDTVs for 2012, and they're channeling the design chops of that sumptuous 55-inch OLED HDTV. All of the new models, including the LM9600, LM8500, LM7600 and LM6700 all squeeze the bezel down to 5mm and a chassis pushing just over 4mm thick. The LM9600 and LM8600 arrive with dual-core processors to assist with load speeds and voice recognition through the Korean giant's Magic Remote. MHL connectivity is in attendance, as is LG's new dashboard.
Next, the LMG850 and LMG620 are new LED offerings for this year, including a Google TV interface and a new remote that pairs together some magic remote functionality and a QWERTY keyboard. LG are going for 3D big time, with 25 new models of LED HDTVs, forgoing the active shutter route for lighter (battery-free) passive glasses. More the more artistically gifted, LG's PenTouch plasma TV (PM6900) allows input through the display panel through a new dedicated pen and will be compatible with photo-editing and PowerPoint presentations.%Gallery-143514%
LG Unveils Future of Home Entertainment with innovative 2012 hdtv line
New Designs, Upgraded Smart TV and New Magic Remote, Enhanced LED and Plasma Technologies Deliver Uncompromised Options for the Whole House
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) today introduced its 2012 HDTVs, led by what is believed to be one of the world's largest Ultra Definition (UD) 3D TV and an awe-inspiring 55-inch class (54.6-inch diagonal) OLED HDTV – at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (booth #8204). This new line of HDTVs brings the future of TV into the home today with virtually bezel-less designs, an upgraded LG Smart TV platform with a redesigned Magic Remote and touch-screen plasma.
"LG continues to innovate in the TV space, bringing to market sleek new designs with technological advances such as 3D and Smart TV," said Tim Alessi, Director of New Product Development, Home Electronics, LG Electronics USA. "This is just the beginning of another exciting year for LG as we look to deliver new products that meet the needs of consumers' growing appetite for theater-quality products in the home."
Pushing Limits, Eliminating Barriers
LG exemplified its commitment to innovation and stylish design for its 2012 line with its 55-inch class OLED HDTV, which showcases precise color, absolute contrast and blazing clarity in a chassis measuring just over 4mm thick. LG applied similar design rigor to other 2012 series (LM9600, LM8500, LM7600 and LM6700) by developing CINEMA Screen technology, which limits the bezel to roughly 5mm. This design element gives these models an even more streamlined, modern look, while also providing consumers a more immersive viewing experience.
Smarter LG Smart TV*
LG reaffirmed its commitment to the connected TV movement by offering an upgraded Smart TV package in 60 percent of its 2012 LCD TV line. In addition to premium content from providers like Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU and others, new content options this year include a one-stop-shop for 3D content (via the 3D Zone) and almost 1,200 total applications in the LG App store. LG also enhanced the user Web browsing experience by incorporating HTML 5 and Flash so it can now function as a full internet browser with video support.
Select series (LM9600 and LM8600) will feature the LG Dual Core chipset, which powers faster loading speeds and enables voice recognition technology on the new 4-mode Magic Remote**. The new Magic Remote simplifies navigation with additional functions including Voice Recognition, Wheel, Magic Gesture and Pointing (see separate release). Consumers can also access online content easily through a built-in Wi-Fi connection. With Mobile HD Link (MHL), consumers can connect (hardwire) compatible mobile devices to the TV to charge and play its content (launch apps, games or access multimedia files) on the big screen using the Magic Remote to navigate. Finally, this year's Smart TV dashboard will be customizable so consumers can navigate and personalize their interface by putting their favorite content options on the main page.
Complementing its broad Smart TV line, LG also introduced two LED series featuring LG Smart TV with Google TV (LMG860 and LMG620). Consumers can navigate through LG's TV-centric home dashboard, or via the standard Google TV interface using a special remote control that combines the simplicity of the Magic Remote with an integrated QWERTY keyboard to access the broad array of Google content, including services and TV applications from the Android Market.
CINEMA 3D is Here to Stay
Due to its success in 2011, CINEMA 3D technology has been expanded to seven new series of LED HDTVs, all told 25 models. LG CINEMA 3D employs the revolutionary Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology to give viewers a great 3D effect and uses glasses that don't flicker like active shutter glasses. It also virtually eliminates cross-talk to help provide a more comfortable 3D viewing experience. The 3D glasses are battery-free, affordable and don't shutter open and closed so both eyes receive an image simultaneously. With new 3D Depth Control, viewers can optimize 3D content to their personal preference by adjusting the amount 3D effect applied to the content. 3D Sound Zooming offers users a maximized 3D experience with sound effect changing in accordance with the movement of on-screen objects. Upgraded 2D to 3D Conversion with improved depth effect enables any 2D content to be seen in immersive 3D.
Getting Interactive
LG's Dual Play function takes gaming to new levels of excitement. Many multi-player video games rely on a split-screen to show each player's perspective. However, Dual Play enables each player to enjoy a full screen view (in 2D) simultaneously through two different sets of polarized glasses.
Also on display will be the LG PenTouch plasma TV (PM6900). Particularly useful for families and businesses, the PenTouch plasma TV allows users to draw and write directly onto the display panel. Using a newly designed touch pen, users can do so through a variety of applications, including those for illustrations, photo editing and PowerPoint presentations.
Full details on LG's 2012 HDTVs are below:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. October is breast cancer awareness month.
Brigett Jones-Clemons thought it was an ordinary pain.
"I had pulled a muscle, so I let it go. I felt pain under my arm and in my shoulder," said Jones-Clemons.
Months later, she went to the doctor.
"The tumor had grown from the size of a pencil eraser when first found three weeks earlier, to a size of a tennis ball," remarked Jones-Clemons.
It would be an uphill battle.
"I had no choice but to lose the entire breast and to undergo the most gruesome forms of chemo," she said.
But she held on. And now two years later, she is encouraging other women to be proactive. She shared her message at Tuesday's Think Pink luncheon in McDowell, organized to promote awareness of both breast cancer and domestic violence.
A message community leaders said is needed.
"I think women are not aware of exactly the issues and what can happen, and I think it's important to get the message to them early," said Mandy Stumbo of the Floyd County Chamber of Commerce, who sponsored Tuesday's event.
Jones-Clemons said she will not let cancer define her or keep her from living life.
"You learn how to put that makeup on again. You learn how to fix your eyebrows when you don't have any eyebrows. You learn how to put a wig on when you've never had to put a wig on," she remarked with a triumphant grin.
She said it comes down to taking life's chances.
"I went para-sailing. I've done the bungee jump thing. There's things I've wanted to do all my life, and I've always held myself back. Now I do it when I want to do it," said Jones-Clemons.
Although rare, breast cancer can affect men. Men between the ages of 60 and 70 are more at risk for developing the disease.

Million Dollar Hotel is an unusual film, even for Wim Wenders. It is his 20th movie and the first that he made using the new digital technology. Its bizarreness and depth was made possible by Wenders deep collaboration in the making of this film with six exceptional people: first, the musician, composer and benefactor Bono who contributed in many ways (when Bono was with U2 he did Where the Streets Have No Name); second, the Australian actor and producer Mel Gibson who plays the lead FBI agent Skinner and donated his time and energy pro bono; third, the inputs in creating a vibrant, fast moving and exhilarating script created from a story by Bono and Nicholas Klein by Mr Klein; fourth, the perceptive cinematography of Phedeon Papamichael who, like Wenders, loves his shots of heights and distances-note the continuous, flowing use of hotel windows from both inside and out; fifth, the superlative acting of Jeremy Davies, a young man only found after a casting hunt involving thousands and lasting for three months; and sixth, Milla Jovovich who heard of the film, read the script, and wanted the female lead so much she told Wenders to let her take the film test again, "I promise I'll do better than anyone else".
Tom Tom (acted by Jeremy Davies) says at the start in voice over "After I jumped it occurred to me, life is perfect. My life started two weeks ago after my best friend Izzy found Eloise ... not just a dumb s..t - she was the love of my life". Now the film goes back and traces what happened over those two weeks.The Million Dollar Hotel in the heart of Los Angels (filmed at Rosslyn Hotel, 112 West 5th Street) with the large metal sign on its roof has become a haven for California's outcasts - a welfare hotel full of derelicts and weirdoes. The film revolves around a core of a dozen of them.
Israel "Izzy" Goldkiss (acted by Tim Roth), a junkie, has fallen from the roof of the hotel. Was he pushed or was it suicide? His father is a TV mogul and billionaire; so this death can't go unnoticed. Thus enters FBI agent Skinner (a stiff Mel Gibson because of back injuries), a detective who doesn't ask questions but seeks answers.He assumes that everyone has something to hide. He is at home in this territory of freaks. Stanley Goldkiss, played by Harris Yulin, tells him "Jews don't kill themselves", so find the murderer.
Agent Skinner focuses on those who were close to Izzy, who passed himself off as a great modern artist, a painter of pictures that were all black-made of tar-but it is what is under the tar that counts. When an expert on art is brought in, Terence Scopey (Julian Sands), he pronounces that "the line between art and garbage can be thin ... sometimes even artists cannot see it".Skinner seeks out: Izzy's best friend, Tom Tom; Izzy's roommate, a phony native American, Geronimo (acted by Jimmy Smits); and the girl Izzy had raped, the book loving Eloise (played by Milla
Jovovich) who has no feeling because she has been a woman of the night and is now a bit catatonic (at least at the start of the film). Tom Tom says about her, that during "the day she lived in her body, but at night she left it for others. I always want to protect her, but Izzy said, don't worry no one can hurt her, she's not even there". Agent Skinner gives his suspects a heavy hand and a kind one. When he tries to manipulate Eloise, she says to him, "It's too bad you're a cop; you'd make a great pimp".
Skinner's number two in the investigation, Charley Best (Donal Logue) often stays out in the FBI car while Skinner is pumping his suspects. Some examples of the strange dialogue in the film is when Best challenges what Skinner is doing; "I don't think your psych-out routine is going to work, because they're a little more afraid of their toilets right now than they are of you ... "One of the strangest characters is Dixie (acted by Peter Stormare). Tom Tom tells Skinner, "Dixie was in a music band called The Beatles ... only they didn't know it". Dixie is obsessed with his neglect and Granny Smith apples, and he speaks with a Liverpudlian accent.
At its warm heart Million Dollar Hotel is a romantic comedy, a rich and diverse love story between Tom Tom and Eloise. Until Izzy died he only loved her from a distance. After Izzy was gone, he began his tentative approaches.Eloise, a damaged soul, slowly responds to his attentions. Skinner becomes a go-between for the two.She sees herself as a "nothing". Yet, she says to Tom Tom, who at first can't articulate himself, "Tom Tom, you know ... you can't always say 'yes' or 'no' or 'I don't know'... you know ... There must be a reason. And it would be nice to know what it is. So why don't you think about it and I'll wait". Tom Tom replies with a poem, "Love can never be portrayed the same way as a tree or the sea, or any other mystery. It's the eyes, with which we see. It's the sinner in the saint. It's the light inside the paint."
This is a film that starts with a leap of faith, "Wow, after I jumped it occurred to me, life is perfect, life is the best.It's full of magic, beauty, opportunity, and television, and surprises, lots of surprises, yeah. And then there's that stuff that everybody longs for, but they only real feel when it's gone. All that just kinda hit me. I guess you don't really see it all clearly when you're - ya know - alive".The Million Dollar Hotel is two hours long. It is rated R (17+). The director is Wim Wenders. It is based on a story by Bono and Nicholas Klein, who also wrote the script.The cinematographer is Phedeon Papamichael. The editor is Tatiana S. Riegel. The music is by Bono, Jon Hassell, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. Don't miss it.

Blog Action Day
Well, it took something as large as Blog Action Day to get me out of my torpor and post something again. I am just going to ramble on jotting down thoughts on the environment as they come to me.
A few years ago I wrote and recorded a tongue in cheek piece about Toronto's recycling program - you can listen to it here.
But in actual fact, I am quite pleased that I live in a city that gives me so many options to to contribute to recycling to decrease the amount of refuse that goes into landfills.
Our grocery stores now sell cloth bags to carry your groceries home in. My first thought was - uh oh - what will I use to scoop the doggie detritus. A colleague of mine mentioned that there are biodegradable poop bags now and I found them at the local pet store. Now not only will the contents biodegrade (is that a word?) but so will the packaging.
I get so upset when I see people toss things onto the streets and highways rather than disposing of them responsibly. My parents ingrained the importance of respecting the environment at a young age. Consequently my pockets are filled with bits and pieces of paper and other things waiting to be disposed of responsibly. It doesn't take much and it means so much.
I was very excited to notice a few houses in my neighbourhood with solar panels on the rooftops. When I lived in Israel, I heated my water through solar panels and it is very exciting to see these panels sprouting up here in Toronto. Unfortunately, the cost of converting is prohibitive at this time. Hopefully that will change in the near future.
I have spent time on Vancouver Island over the past couple of years. Virgin territory - it is so beautiful and pristine. Driving and hiking through the forests I saw signs of 'civilization' encroaching - golf courses, condo developments - people want to live there because it's so beautiful. But these 'improvement' are destroying that very beauty.

Join our appeal this Christmas
Posted: December 06, 2012|
It is always tempting to turn a blind eye to the visible evidence of homelessness on our streets.
After all, the causes are invariably complex and there is rarely a quick fix, a magic solution.
Mental health issues and alcohol and / or drug dependency may also form part of the scenario which has led to someone – someone's son or daughter – living on the streets.
If we even stop to acknowledge there is a problem, we may quickly conclude there's nothing we, as individuals, can do to help.
In truth, the scale of the problem is hidden from most of us. 'Sofa surfing' is on the increase, with those without a permanent address moving from place to place. That is evidenced by the increase in the number of people coming into contact with St Petrock's homeless charity.
The need to address the issue of homelessness in Exeter was brought into sharp focus by the tragic death of 21-year-old Michelle Conroy, who was sleeping rough in a tent off Western Way when she was killed by a falling tree.
That Michelle died just a stone's throw from Exeter's vibrant, economically thriving city centre just hours after Christmas shoppers had been filling the tills highlights the gulf between those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to go on a festive spending spree and those for whom a roof over their head would be a luxury.
The truth is that we can do something to help. We may not be able to directly tackle the problems in someone's life which drives them onto the streets, but we can help those who are qualified to help the homeless, by making a donation to charity.
That's why we are asking Echo readers to dig deep for our Help the Homeless Christmas appeal, in aid of St Petrock's.
The money raised will help pay for support services for those most in need, with the aim of helping them to change their lives and ultimately find a way back into mainstream society.
In households across the city and the region, huge amounts of money will be spent ensuring Christmas is as fun as it can be.
So when you're spending, just spare a thought for those who won't be able to enjoy the same kind of Christmas, and consider making even a small donation to our appeal.
As we said last week, Michelle's death shames us all. The fact that we have, in a thriving, modern city in a developed nation, people living on our streets shames us all. Together we have a chance to help make a difference.

This is my first time making egg rolls. I thought that they would make for tasty snacks and……use up my surplus of cabbage and carrots.
You could say my knowledge of most Asian foods is pretty limited. Growing up in a sleepy city in southwest Ohio, we didn't cook Asian food often, instead sticking primarily to meat, potatoes, casseroles, and whatever mom let me bake that week. When we did, my parents would make fried rice with those Sun Bird seasoning packets from the grocery store. Do you know those? The powdering packets that you tear open and mix with water and soy sauce.
Ahhhh, memories.
This is what I do the majority of the time when I'm making something for the first time and/or I'm on limited time and/or I'm super hungry.
1. Search for a quick recipe. In this case, I decide to go with the egg roll recipe on the back of the package of the Nasoya wrappers. (When I bake, which I'm more comfortable doing, I actually enjoy researching recipes. I can look at them and have a better understanding of how things will turn out.)
So far, it's quick and easy. I cook ground pork with ginger, cabbage, carrot, and green onions.
2. Start to deviate from the recipe. I love ginger, so I add more than it calls for. I also don't have bean sprouts, so I add more cabbage and carrots.
3. Really start to deviate from the recipe. I realize that I am out of oyster sauce, which is all the Nasoya recipe calls for in terms of seasoning. Darn it!
4. Fall into the black hole that is online recipe browsing. This one wasn't too bad. I quickly find another recipe that has a different filling without oyster sauce. I go with Steamy Kitchen's Mother's Famous Chinese Egg Roll seasoning, which calls for rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Perfect!
5. Find something else to research. How do I properly fold egg rolls? Find pictures on the Nasoya wrapper.
Fold the side closest to you up first.
Then the sides in, and roll toward the corner farthest from you, wetting the edges with water so that it will stick.
6. Freeze 3/4 of them. I freeze most things because I can't eat the same thing all week.
To cook, I rub them with a little oil, and bake at 350 F. for about 10 minutes or until warm in the center and crispy on the outside.
7. Start to get lazy. Dipping sauce! By this time, I don't feel like making anything else, so I found some leftover dipping sauce from spring rolls I bought before in the freezer (everything is in my freezer!).
Semi-homemade. That's real.

Michelle premiered Black Christmas this week in LA, and also stopped by TRL to talk about her new movie.

LARAMIE, WYO. — Wyoming sophomores Brett Smith and Blair Burns have been named the Mountain West Conference offensive and defensive players of the week.
Smith threw for four touchdowns and rushed for one and Wyoming scored a season high 45 points in a 45-31 win over Colorado State last Saturday.
He completed 19 of 32 passes for 235 yards, and he rushed for an additional 27 yards for 262 yards of total offense.
Burns returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown and added four tackles against Colorado State. His interception return was the second longest in school history, and ties for the third longest in Mountain West history.
BCS: One down, one to go for Oregon.
The Ducks moved up a spot and passed Notre Dame in the BCS standings on Sunday, moving into third place behind Alabama and Kansas State.
Oregon is coming off its biggest victory of the season, gashing USC on the ground and winning 62-51 on the Trojans home field on Saturday night. That result, combined with Notre Dames overtime victory against a middling Pittsburgh team, helped nudge the Ducks by the Irish this week.
Alabama (.9957) is a rock solid No. 1 in both the polls and the BCS computer ratings this week. The Tide needs only to win out to reach the BCS title game for the third time in four seasons.
Kansas State (.9318) is third in the polls and in the computers, but second overall.
The Ducks (.9166) are a solid No. 2 in both polls, but still fifth in the computers.
Notre Dame (.9050) is in fourth place with only two opponents with a winning record left on its schedule.
Behind the Irish in the standings are four Southeastern Conference teams Georgia, Florida, LSU, South Carolina.
Kansas State: Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is hopeful injured quarterback Collin Klein will be available for next Saturdays game at TCU.
The Heisman Trophy candidate was hurt during the third quarter of the No. 3 Wildcats 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Nebraska: Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez is the Big Ten offensive player of the week for the second time in three weeks.
The third-year starter from Corona, Calif., led the 18th-ranked Cornhuskers on two fourth-quarter scoring drives to erase a 10-point deficit and beat Michigan State 28-24 on the road Saturday.
Martinez ran for 205 yards, with touchdown runs of 35 and 71 yards. He passed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, including the 5-yard TD toss to Jamal Turner with six seconds left.
Martinez has been named offensive player of the week four times this season, tied for second most in a single season in conference history.
The Huskers (7-2, 4-1) play Penn State (6-3, 4-1) in Lincoln this Saturday.
Also, Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says Rex Burkheads status for this weeks game against Penn State is unclear.
The All-Big Ten running back has missed all or part of seven games because of an injury to his left knee.
Pelini said Monday that Burkhead had been pushing really hard in his rehabilitation and had shown signs of improvement. The senior from Plano, Texas, didnt appear in the last two games after aggravating the injury in the first quarter against Northwestern on Oct. 20.
Burkhead, originally hurt in the opener against Southern Mississippi, is among seven running backs in Nebraska history to run for 3,000 career yards.
Ameer Abdullah has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of his four starts in Burkheads place.

The Icebreaker Men's 2-Tone Long-Sleeve BodyFit260 Crew offers some much-needed style in base layer fashion, not to mention it's made of 100% Merino, the best natural fiber for temperature regulation in the world. Merino has some incredible advantages over synthetic fabrics: it keeps its heat-retaining properties when wet, prevents body odor build-up better than any chemical treatment, offers expedition-weight warmth at half the bulk, and rivals many synthetics in breathability. Use the Icebreaker Crew as a base layer when skiing or as a shirt for cool fall and spring activities. Make no mistake, merino is not the wool of yesterday—though it has wool's incredible heat-retaining qualities and breathability, it lacks the scratchiness and discomfort you remember from years ago.
Share your thoughts
Ideal for layering
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Another nice shirt from Icebreaker. The merino wool is warm and comfortable. I'll probably buy another color.
what you want
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have three of these now and continue to beat them up all year long... working outside, skiing, mountain biking, dry-suit diving, I hardly ever take them off and they don't even stink too badly. I wasn't a fan of thumb holes at first but now I use them all the time.
Just what I needed
I bought this product for when I run or exercise in cool weather. I like the feel of the wool much better than the plastic wicking products. Wicking ability is just short to on par with the likes of under armor and similar products. It will get wet under heavy sweating but it's a far cry from the soggy wet of cotton. This heavier version does a nice job of insulating even with a mild breeze and allows me to go without a light jacket or sweatshirt. For me, the fit is snug and the sleeves are long which personally I prefer. It also does not stink as bad as the plastic wicking clothes which is a plus.
On the minus side, it is on the expensive side and wool tends not to hold up as well under washing. So far so good though but time will tell. Then neck seemed a little smaller/tighter than it needed to be and I find that I often stretch the fabric by the neck a bit when taking it on and off.
In summary, it is a very good product that I am happy to use and I would recommend to others.
I'm about 6' tall and 195 lbs
Love them.
Would wear these everyday and everywhere if I could. Performs extremely well in winter conditions and are great for apres activities. A plus for this shirt is that it actually looks decent unlike most of the other long underwear. Merino is the best hands down, doesn't hold stench, dries extremely quick and most importantly you stay warm when the shirt is wet.
Super warm top! I am 6'0' 200lbs with 45-47inch chest. I bought a large and it worked well in temps 15f-30f. I used it as a base layer with a down jacket. I could have gone in much colder wether with no problems. It was too warm with a jacket at 30f. I wore it by itself many times throughout the day when it wasn't windy and was still warm. I used it while I was doing photography in yellowstone. Not itchy and wore it several days in a row. I would by again with no hesitation.
Great investment
It's pricey, but I love this thing. The 260 is deceptive. It looks like a baseball shirt and feels a bit heavy. When you first put it on, you think, "I don't think this is all that warm." But it will prove you wrong. The fit is excellent and the raglan sleeves are my favorite design aspect.
But as a photojournalist, I was out shooting a family story on the rim of Canyon de Chelly in 20 degree sleet with a punishing wind and it got me through and never felt soaked. I bought two more after that. It even works great for Nordic skiing baselayer. Unlike every single Smartwool shirt I have, there have been ZERO seam unravels. The stitching is really top notch.
For cleaning, I cold wash gentle cycle and hang dry on my pull up bar.
Almost Perfect
This is a great product with one exception: the sleeves are loose at the wrist. Icebreaker should have stitched some elastic material into the seams at the wrists to draw the cloth back to the skin.

I would go with a medium for a snugger fit or a large for a looser fit.

Another size question. I am 5'11 and a skinny 145 lbs. I am looking for something that isn't gigantic on me but still is long in the sleeves. I have yet to try on anything icebreaker, does anyone know if the small is long in the sleeves?
You'll want to go with the medium, otherwise it will be too short in length. They shrink a little in the wash, just fyi. Make sure you never put it in the dryer, and it is best to lay it flat on a towel when you dry it. Hang drying it will make it stretch out more. AWESOME shirts by the way. I highly recommend them.
This thing is heavy (11.5 oz), so if you are looking for something lightweight and warm for hiking, a down sweater or some synthetic equivalent might be a better option. Besides that, I'm pretty sure it's nice.
Nicole Lisk, Vendor Rep
Go for a BodyFit200 if you are looking for a lightweight top. BodyFit260 is the midweight Icebreaker baselayer.

thats different?
Favorite Icebreaker
The great thing about the 260 is versatility. It works as a baselayer, it's great-looking casual outerwear, and it's an ideal mid-layer too. This shirt breathes well enough to be comfortable at 65° or so, but gets pretty toasty if it's warmer.
If you want the 260 to fit very snug as a dedicated baselayer, order your usual size. If you want more flexible use as I mentioned above, order a size larger. I am 6'5" and 250lbs, and wear an XL in almost every brand, but I much prefer the XXL Icebreaker stuff. The XL fits almost like a compression layer.
Great product - don't hesitate to pick a few up if you're undecided.
when it saids country of origin does that...
when it saids country of origin does that mean it is MADE there?
I believe the merino wool is from New Zealand, but the shirt is probably made in China.
Yes, but Backcounty does not always list this information correctly.
Awesome material; but sizing is off
The feel of of these Icebreaker BodyFit clothes is amazingly comfortable, soft and warm.
I tried the BodyFit 150's; these 260's are much better for me in these colder New England temperatures. I've been using them for a few weeks and have found them great for everyday.
But watch out for the sizing! I'm 5'10" and consider myself pretty average if a little slim. The sizing chart suggest size medium. But size medium was too big. I had to return them for size small. I didn't like paying for return shipping for this mistake.
Size small is working out well, though it's not a snug as I expected. Guess I need to work out much more and build up my chest, arms and legs to fill out the BodyFit.
If size small is good for average me, what size are the many people smaller than me going to wear?!
"People" includes men and women, right? A dude can wear a women's shirt if needed. See if you can find a place to try a bunch of sizes on and then buy 'em on sale. The shirt styles don't all fit the same - some styles are tighter fitting.

im 6ft and approx 170 lbs broad shouldered long limbs. i have a med ibex indie crew that fits me perfectly not tight and loose. What would be the size that would give me the fit small or medium. Dont want too tight. Thanks...
You've probably bought one by now, or completely given up hope on anyone ever answering this question, but...
I'm about your size 6' 175lb and I wear a medium. It's snug, but not restrictive. I like it that way because I wear it as a base layer anyways.
Best ever
This shirt is great. It's not as tight as the Oasis shirt but that makes it more comfortable. My con is that it is available only in a very limited number of colors :-(
I love this mid weight base layer. I wear it as a second layer over my Capilene Base. It is my nod to ski lodge style while providing great warmth on the slopes. Awesome shirt. I highly recommend. Follow sizing guidelines on the BackCountry site for best fit. Worked well for me!
Great shirt for lots of things
This is a nice all-purpose shirt. I bought it in a size large, and it fits for me like a typical long sleeve T-shirt. While the blue is not as bright as the picture on backcountry.com's website appears (not necessarily a bad thing), my wife gives this shirt the thumbs up for being a nice looking, casual, non-technical appearing shirt that can be worn around the house or out and about. This is a 260 weight shirt, so it runs on the warm side, making it good for use fall through spring, but definitely not in the summer. One nice thing is that there are are no seams over the top of the shoulders, so this shirt is great when carrying a backpack.
All of the typical pros about icebreaker wool shirts are true for this: stink free, itch free and washable. Just don't stick it in the dryer. My only complaint about wool clothing in general (not this shirt in particular) is that wool does take a relatively long time to dry - certainly longer than synthetic polypro clothing.
Excellent Feel
No itch and XL fits me at 6'1"" and 200 lbs.

New England enjoying old England
UPDATE, 2:12 p.m.: Tackle Matt Light, running back Sammy Morris, and receiver Julian Edelman will miss the Patriots' matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday in London because of injury.
LONDON -- Playing a game in London may not have been the first choice of the Patriots' players and coaching staff, but now that they're here they're embracing the experience.
It was smiles all around from Patriots players as they took it all in at today's media availability, which was held at the Brit Oval cricket ground. It was odd to the see the pitch (field) of the large oval, which is usually the home of the Surrey County Cricket Club, lined for football.
"There is a first time for everything right," said nose tackle Vince Wilfork.
The Brit Oval was a verdant reminder of just how unique the Patriots game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Wembley Stadium is. Even normally stoic coach Bill Belichick couldn't contain his excitement.
"This is quite an experience for us, all of us, the team, the players and myself. I've been in the National Football League 35 years and this is the first time I've ever been to a facility like this," said Belichick. "It's kind of cool and I'm looking forward to the experience this weekend at Wembley [Stadium] and the couple of days we have here in London. It would be nice if we could hang around a little bit longer, see the Tower of London and all that, but it's a great city with a great history and I love that it's getting into football and the NFL."
The Patriots held a light practice at the Brit Oval, donning shorts and light shoulder pads. The only players not spotted were wide receiver Julian Edelman (forearm), running back Fred Taylor (ligament damage in his right ankle), Sammy Morris (knee), Matt Light (knee) and practice squad linebacker Bruce Davis.
Cornerback Darius Butler, who had missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with an ankle injury, was present and worked on kickoff return.
It was also notable that the team took both offensive tackle Mark LeVoir and wide receiver Brandon Tate on the Euro trip. LeVoir is on the physically unable to perform list and Tate is on the non-football injury list, both players started practicing this week.
Their presence is an indication the team is at least entertaining the possibility of activating one or both of them for Sunday's game. Tate was seen doing kickoff returns during the portion of practice that was open to the media at the cricket ground.
For most of the Patriots players this trip is the first time they've been to London.
"I know a lot of the guys it's their first trip, their first trip out of the country in general, so it's a very good experience for us all," said linebacker Jerod Mayo.
But as Wilfork said the Patriots came to the United Kingdom for one reason -- to get a win and go to 5-2.
"We have to take care of business first," he said. "Like I said, if I like what I see I'll come back on my own time."

Spring is in the Bag: Spring 2009 Handbag Trends
It's a new season and that means new trends on all fronts, including one of our personal faves: handbags!
This season keep your eyes open for some of the usual suspects (oversized bags, clutches and pops of color), some rollover from the fall (fringe) and some new looks (well, not necessarily new, but trends we haven't seen in a while).
Here are some of the biggest bag trends of spring/summer 2009…
Workin' on the Chain Gang:
Chain bags are a classic look that are making a huge comeback this season. From Chanel's classic chain bag to Prada's modernized chunky plastic chains, chain bags are all over the place this season. But, for all you recessionistas out there, it's not necessary to spend exorbitant amounts of cash to have one of these babies. There are plenty of reasonably priced options out there if you look in the right places: there are great looks (inspired by designer bags) at fashionjunkee.com and, as always, Target never fails to offer cute and trendy looks at extremely low prices.
Simply Black & White:
We're going back to basics this season with simple black & white and it never looked so good. You can go with any number of styles and prints, but two tone is a fun and simple way to add spunk to your look. You can also brighten it up a bit by having a black & white bag that has a pop of color thrown in.
The Bold and the Beautiful:
As we saw in clothes and shoes this season, brights are all the rage, and bold, bright colors in bags are a great way to add some zazoom to any ensemble. But you don't want to over-do it; these bags work best when paired with a neutral outfit, not one that is chock full of equally bold and bright elements. Yellows, oranges and blues are best when it comes to bold color palettes for this spring/summer.
They Might Be Giants:
As has been the case for several seasons, oversized bags are super popular. If you want a great way to carry more than just your lipstick, ID and credit cards when you go out at night, try an oversized clutch.
Following in fall's footsteps, the popular fringe bag is still around. Being that this is a very obvious statement, remember to choose neutrals as they're bound to last longer and be more versatile.
Dream Weaver:
Spring and summer have a light-hearted and breezy feel and what better way to get that feeling than by carrying a woven bag. Straw always gives a beachy feel to things, but you can also get a spring look with woven leather in a bright color.
No matter which trend you choose to go with this spring or summer, don't forget to have fun and keep it LIGHT!

WINTER PARK, Fla. -Two Winter Park High school girls basketball coaches are accused of not reporting inappropriate activity.
A high school basketball coach is out of a job after being accused of molesting a teenager.
Both Martin Caparros and Frank Puckett were dismissed in July.
The school district says the pair failed to report allegations that head coach Ashley Sinclair Brown molested and sexted with a student. Brown resigned in July.
The other coaches don't hold other jobs in the school system.

Oh Hollywood, I love thee. If you really make "Beached," I will be there opening weekend — if only to gape in amazement at how in the world you pulled this off.
Here's the official synopsis, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter. Try not to burst out laughing.
"Beached centers on a chubby 4-year-old child who falls overboard during a family outing, is raised by whales and goes on to become an Olympic swimmer."
I mean, seriously, how can you not root for Fox 2000 studios to make this happen? Director Jon Turteltaub ("National Treasure" series) is a believer — and is now slated to helm the project, which, not surpringly, has been treading water since 1997. Ted Griffin, the same guy who wrote "Ocean's 11," was the original scribe, but THR says Turteltaub will oversee the draft of a new script.
"Well that beats my story about a chubby 4-year-old who falls overboard during a family outing and quickly drowns. Could never figure out that second act," quipped one commenter on AV Club.
What do you think? Will you (and your family) go and see "Beached" if/when it comes out?

Green Lantern – Description Of The Suit, Power Ring and Battery
We saw an image of Ryan Reynolds in the all CGI Green Lantern suit a while back. It did look a bit weird, but could work on the big screen. Since then we haven't seen or heard much more regarding the look of the suit.
The Daily Blam have apparently seen some new images from the film and have described the look of the suit some more. It turns out those green lines all over it are there for a reason. They do say that fans of the comic need not worry and we will see our first Green Lantern trailer with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in November.
Spoilers ahead.
* Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) does not don the suit until his first trip to the planet Oa; which takes place when his power ring acknowledges his need for training after he creates his first construct on Earth.
* When the suit, which is created out of a "hard light" construct from the power ring, is in its solid form, the mask, boots, shoulders, chest, abdomen and back are a distinct, rich green, while the arms, legs and waist areas are a deep black.
* The suit has definitive lines which segregate the green and black colors.
* The glowing, green textured lines which encompass the suit fluctuate in intensity as Jordan gains more control over the power ring, which channels his willpower. The more focus he has, the less it "bleeds" energy.
* The front, green section of the suit does not extend below and around Jordan's crotch as depicted in many of the older comic books. Instead, it ends in a sharp point at the base of his abdomen in the modern fashion.
* When flying, or traveling through space, the suit emits a faint green glow around the ring bearer. Jordan flies, of his own will, many times throughout the film.
* The ring is comprised of a solid silver band. Over its front, a translucent green attachment is centered with a jewel which visibly "flows" with energy.
* The individual power batteries each Lantern Corp member carries are much different from the comics' versions. These are mostly comprised of the same green, translucent material which covers the power ring. The handle of the battery is squared off, and immobile. A large jewel rests at its center as well.
* An inscription around the jewel appears to be the Green Lantern Oath, which each member of the Corps must recite to charge their rings.
They also say that there will be the usual ring contructs along with more complex designs such as a Semi truck, dune buggy, fighter jet and anti-aircraft gun.
Sounds very nice indeed.

Job Search Assistance Evaluation, 2013-2018
Project Overview
The Job Search Assistance (JSA) Strategies evaluation will feature a multi-site, random assignment evaluation to measure the relative impact of specific job search services offered by TANF programs on short-term labor market outcomes (e.g., earnings and time to employment). The JSA evaluation aims to achieve several goals. First, ACF intends for this evaluation to provide information about the relative impacts of various JSA services and the manner in which agencies provide them. A second goal for this evaluation is provide actionable and policy-relevant feedback to the TANF field, including federal TANF policymakers, state and local TANF administrators, and frontline caseworkers. A third and final goal is to use innovative and state-of-the-art methods to develop a study that is cost-effective and efficient, while rigorous and methodologically sound.
The JSA evaluation will use a random assignment experimental design and will include an impact and implementation evaluation carried out across the selected sites. Consistent with the policy framework of TANF, ACF expects that the job search assistance approaches studied will be relatively short-term in nature. Similarly, ACF anticipates that these outcomes can be measured using administrative data sources, including the National Directory of New Hires. However, ACF may also conduct a follow-up survey with a subsample of participants to examine broader outcomes. Complementing this work will be a series of special TANF studies that will feature short-term descriptive or qualitative inquiries into TANF-related topics of interest.
The point of contact is Erica Zielewski.

Our long-held conviction that the economy can't sustain rapidly rising interest rates remains intact. The main reason for this is the sheer amount of debt in the system and the average consumer's undesirable financial situation ... if the economy starts showing signs of weakness, then the question begins whether the Fed will continue tightening monetary policy. If it stops and we try again to artificially induce growth, then excessive speculation will remain the only game in town, eventually leading to a spectacular collapse of the financial system.

From Peter Brimelow, MarketWatch
Wall Street Winners, edited by the troika of Elliot Gue, Ivan Martchev and Yiannis Mostrous, is the kind of letter that appeals to nerds like me because of the elegance of its arguments.
... According to the Hulbert Financial Digest, over the past three years ( roughly corresponding to the current editors' tenure), the letter's average portfolio appreciated at 7.2 percent annualized, vs. 6.4 percent annualized for the dividend-reinvested Wilshire 5000.

Cathy Morgan at <firstname.lastname@example.com>
PS - BUNKER: Henry, John, Mary Jane, and Jula Ann, all appear as "orphans" in Broome Co., NY in the 1855 Census. Henry is 18, John is 22, Mary Jane 15 (should be 17), etc. In 1880 census of Merrick County, NE - I found a John BONKER (this is common mis-spelling of the surname). In 1900 Mary Jane Bunker Andrews is living in Merrick County. A Henry H. Bunker also appears in Merrick Co in the 1900 census, but he is born OH. I am curious. Does anyone know more about John Bonker or Henry H. Bunker? Thanks, Cathy Morgan.
Charles ASHER
I would like to contribute a surname with a small amt of family history. I am just starting to unravel the true story.
Duncan Campbell ELDRIDGE, wife Rebecca LIPPINCOTT, and 5 yo son Charles Henry rafted down the Ohio River from Cincinnati, OH, and up the Mississippi River to Scott County, IA. They arrived on 5 October 1835 on the banks of the river near the only existing house in the area, owned by Antoine LeClaire. Duncan disassembled the raft with its shanty and built a house for his family. During the cold winter, he made a paste and glued the newspapers he'd brought to the walls to keep the drafts and the elements out. People would come from miles around to stand and read the walls. Their first child was Sarah E., born 3 May 1837 in what would become the town of Davenport, Iowa. She was the first white girl born in the city.
Sarah Eldridge married on Christmas Day in 1860, in her family home, Charles ASHER who was born in Niagara County, NY. He served in the Civil War as a private in Company D, 20th Regiment, Iowa Infantry.
On 1 December 1875, Sarah Eldridge died in Delmar, Clinton County, IA from an overdose of chloroform and laudanum, probably a suicide after meeting a gentleman in a hotel in Clinton. She and Charles were divorced before this date, but I do not know when. Sarah was brought back to Davenport for burial in Oakdale Memorial Gardens on her father's plot.
They had one son, Lewis Micajah Asher, and it is recorded in a few resources that there were other babies who did not live.
Charles left before Sarah's body was cold, if he hadn't been gone during this time. He married Phebe Gardner JONES, a widow of Jonathan Jones and they had 4 children. Charles and Phebe had 5 children: Clarence C., Corrie, Emma, George, and Mary. Charles' grand-daughter Gertrude/Gurtie/Gertie Asher came to live with them, also and is in the Nebraska 1880 census.
From the Columbus Journal, 18 April 1883:
Charles Asher, son-in-law of Joseph Gardner, who lived four miles east of Silver Creek whild burning some old grass on one of his fields, Monday, fell down near the fire. George Jones, step son, who was working nearby, saw Charles fall and as soon as he could tie his team and get to Mr. Asher, did so, but found him dead; his pants legs were afire and while the boy dragged the man along to get him out of the fire, the stubble caught fire after him, making matters worse; they boy then tried to whip ou tthe fire with a sack, but notwithstanding his greatest efforts, all teh clothing of the man, except a piece of the shirt collar and boots was burned off him and his body ferfully scorched. The boy's hands were badly blistered.
Mr. Asher had for the last three years been subject to fainting spells caused by heart disease, and had on Monday forenoon, been prostrated by one of these. Whether he had suddenly been struck down by the disease, or whether the inhalation of flame had killed him is not known, probably the former.
Charles is buried in Jackson Cemetery, Duncan, Platte County, NE (Find-a-Grave).
His tombstone is legible and there is also a bronze Civil War marker.
Daughter: Myrtle Asher is also buried at Jackson Cemetery.
RE: Charles ... I did read that he adopted the Jones children.
Feel free to ask me any more info.

Additional information -
Lewis/Louis Micajah ASHER (son of Charles & Sarah Asher) married Agnes May NOBLE, 10 June 1886 in Davenport, Scott, IA. Aggie was born 19 May 1864 near Buffalo, Scott, IA to Irad and Lydia Myer Noble. The Noble family settled in Scott County in 1836 (from where?) and were members of the Scott County Pioneer Society. Lewis Asher worked on the railroad as a brakeman and the family moved frequently. Lewis deserted Aggie and their 3 children on 25 Aug 1893 according to Scott County divorce records in possession of the Davenport Public Library Archive Dept. Aggie returned to Davenport (from where?) and sued Lewis for divorce in November 1895.
Divorce records state Lewis Asher was employed by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail Co. and was not a resident of Iowa. Divorce records state Aggy requested alimony/child support which was denied by Lewis. The judge garnished Lewis' wages @ $20/mo. Nothing further is known. I have written to the regional pension office in Peoria and have not received a response (2007).
Lewis/Louis and Aggy Asher had:
1. Gertrude May Asher b 26 Mar 1887 in Davenport
2. Charles W. Asher born 18 June 1889 in Missouri (no place)

John continued freighting with his brother-in-law, Traverse Foster, until the Civil War. He and Traverse entered the Union Army.

After the Civil War, John engaged mainly in farming until 1885, when he moved to Merrick County, Nebraska around Central City.
He continued to farm in Nebraska until his retirement in 1900. Mariah passed away in 1894. He then lived with his eldest daughter, Mariah and family.
Through the years, John lost contact with his family. He once said he would give anything to see his brother, Harvey (Wm. Harvey) again or to know what became of him. He had a tin type of Harvey that was taken in Tennessee in 1865 at the close of the Civil War. John named Harvey as a baby, with the consent of his parents.
