NIU HEAD COACH Dave Doeren
Dave Doeren, a 16-year collegiate coaching veteran who has helped take teams to eight bowl games and two national championship contests, was named the 21st head football coach in NIU history on Dec. 13, 2010. In his first season, Doeren has led Northern Illinois to a 7-3 record, making NIU bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive season. Doeren came to NIU after five seasons at Wisconsin. After spending two seasons as the Badgers' co-defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator, he added defensive coordinator duties in 2008. During Doeren's time at Wisconsin, the Badgers posted a 49-16 overall record and played in the Champs Sports Bowl (twice), Outback Bowl and Capital One Bowl. In 2010, UW posted an 11-2 record, won a share of the Big Ten title and played TCU in the 2011 Rose Bowl.
Doeren's UW defenses were consistently ranked in the top 25 in the nation and while there he coached players like current National Football League linebackers Jonathan Casillas of the New Orleans Saints and DeAndre Levy of the Detroit Lions. Most recently, defensive end J.J. Watt was selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Doeren arrived at UW after four seasons (2002-05) at the University of Kansas. He was the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator for his first three seasons before being promoted to co-defensive coordinator in 2005. Prior to his time at Kansas, Doeren coached the secondary at NCAA FCS power Montana for two seasons. Montana won the I-AA national championship in 2001 and went 28-3 with two conference titles in his time there. He started his college coaching career as an assistant at Drake from 1995-97 where he coached linebackers, before becoming defensive coordinator in 1997. A four-year letterwinner at Drake (1990-93), Doeren earned Academic All-America honors as a senior and graduated with a bachelor's degree in pre-medical biology and a master's in educational leadership. He and his wife, Sara, have three sons - Jacob, Luke and Connor.

Campbell Trophy. Harnish, who earned his undergraduate degree in business management from the NIU College of Business last spring with a 3.65 grade point average, is currently pursuing his M.B.A. He will receive an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship and be honored, along with the other 15 NFF Scholar-Athletes, at the 54th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 6, 2011 at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York. The NFF Scholar-Athletes were selected from a pool of 127 nominees in all classifications of college football for their combined athletic, academic and leadership skills. Harnish, who already owns seven Northern Illinois career records, including many that stood for nearly 50 years, is the third student-athlete from Northern Illinois to be named an NFF Scholar-Athlete, joining Patrick Stephen (1998) and Josh Haldi (2004).
Home Sweet Home!
Northern Illinois returns to Huskie Stadium for the first time in a month when the Huskies play host to MAC West rival Ball State Tuesday night, Nov. 15, on ESPNU. NIU has won five consecutive games, including three straight on the road, to move into a tie for first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division.
Success Story
Northern Illinois is establishing a reputation as one of the most consistently successful programs among non-automatic qualifying Bowl Championship Subdivision (BCS) teams. NIU is currently one of only FIVE teams from "non-AQ" BCS leagues to win six or more games in each of the last four seasons (since 2008). The others with that distinction are TCU, BYU, Southern Miss and Boise State. Air Force and Hawaii are the only other teams that could be added to that list.
Tuesday night's game versus Ball State is NIU's annual "Blackout" game with all fans encouraged to wear black. The school will distribute black Thunderstix and the Huskie team will wear its new black jerseys for the third straight home game. In addition, there will be a postgame fireworks show. NIU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is also holding a canned food drive. Fans who bring a canned food donation will receive a coupon which they can use to purchase a ticket for just $8.
MAC Mark
Northern Illinois is in its 26th season as a member of the Mid-American Conference in 2011. In MAC games, Northern Illinois is 105-90-2 all-time and the Huskies are 70-45 (.609) in conference games since rejoining the MAC in 1997. The Huskies have won 13 of their last 14 and 18 of their last 22 MAC regular season contests. NIU is playing its 15th consecutive campaign as a member of the MAC after initially competing as a league member from 1975-85.
Doeren's Debut Season
Dave Doeren has led Northern Illinois to a 7-3 record and returned the Huskies to bowl eligibility in his first season as coach at NIU, and in his first season as a head coach after 16 seasons as a collegiate assistant. The 21st head football coach in school history, and the 10th since Northern Illinois became a major college program in 1969, Doeren came to NIU after five seasons at Wisconsin (2006-10), where he was linebackers coach and defensive coordinator (see bio next page).
Frequent Foe
Northern Illinois and Ball State meet for the 15th consecutive season, every season since the Huskies rejoined the MAC in 1997. The teams have played 38 times overall with the Cardinals holding a 20-16-2 edge in the all-time series. Ball State has won 15 of the 25 games the teams have played as league foes and are 11-7-2 versus the Huskies in DeKalb. NIU has won the last two meetings and three of the last five games since 2006. BSU has defeated the Huskies in two of the last three games between the teams at Huskie Stadium.
Complete Game Victory
A year ago in Muncie, Northern Illinois excelled on offense, defense and special teams en route to a 59-21 victory over Ball State. The Huskies blocked three punts, Chandler Harnish threw for 247 yards and two scores, Chad Spann scored three rushing touchdowns and the NIU defense held Ball State to just 268 yards and two-of-10 third down conversions. Ball State punted eight times, two of which were blocked by Jordan Delegal. Harnish's TD passes both went to Nathan Palmer on receptions of 37 and 47 yards. With its eighth straight win, NIU secured a spot in the 2010 MAC Championship game.
Home Field Advantage
All-time, Northern Illinois is 144-97-2 at Huskie Stadium since its opening in 1965. NIU owns a .597 winning percentage at home, including a 54-17 mark (a .761 winning percentage) in its last 71 DeKalb contests and a 38-11 record since 2003. Northern Illinois is 4-0 in its Huskie Stadium home games so far this year and went undefeated (5-0) on Brigham Field a year ago. Overall, NIU has won 13 straight games at Huskie Stadium. The Huskies' last home loss was on Sept. 26, 2009 when Idaho claimed a 34-31 victory in DeKalb.
Streaking in the Stadium
Northern Illinois' 13-game winning streak at Huskie Stadium is the school's longest since the school-record 14-straight home victories between Nov. 5, 1988 and Sept. 14, 1991. NIU has also won 10 straight Mid-American Conference games in DeKalb, with the last loss at Huskie Stadium a 33-30 overtime setback to Central Michigan on Nov. 12, 2008. The current streak began on Oct. 3, 2009 with a 38-6 win over Western Michigan. The Huskies went on to defeat Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ball State at home that season, then posted a perfect 5-0 record at Huskie Stadium in 2010. NIU has won home games over Army, Cal Poly, Kent State and Western Michigan this year.
Welcome MAC
At home, Northern Illinois is 59-38-1 (.607) all-time in Mid-American Conference games with a 38-19 (.667) mark versus its league counterparts in Huskie Stadium since 1997. The Huskies have won 13 of their last 14 and 10 straight league home games. NIU's only home league loss over the last four seasons came in overtime to Central Michigan on Nov. 12, 2008.
Northern Illinois continues its "ESPNovember" with an appearance on ESPNU versus Ball State. It is the third consecutive ESPN network game for Northern Illinois as the Toledo and Bowling Green games were both carried on ESPN2. Since 2005, NIU has played 12 November games in front of the ESPN cameras with eight games on ESPN2, one on ESPN Classic and three on ESPNU. Including the wins at Toledo and Bowling Green, NIU is 5-3 on ESPN2 in November, 3-0 on ESPNU and 0-1 on Classic.
If You're Counting
The Ball State game will be the 1,034th game in Northern Illinois history and the Huskies will be looking for their 520th victory. NIU has a 519-463-51 all-time record for a winning percentage of .527. Since 2000, Northern Illinois is 86-59 (.593) and has secured its 10th winning campaign with seven wins in 2011. Over that time, NIU owns the best mark of any of the three Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the state of Illinois, ahead of both Illinois and Northwestern.
Trophy Game
For the fourth year, Northern Illinois and Ball State will play for "The Bronze Stalk," a traveling trophy designed specifically for this rivalry in honor of the locales of both institutions. DeKalb artist Renee Bemis designed the trophy, which depicts a cornstalk. The Bronze Stalk has made its home in DeKalb in each of the last two seasons.
Opposite Sideline
Northern Illinois running backs coach and special teams coordinator Eddie Faulkner finds himself on the opposite side of the NIU-Ball State match-up in 2011 after spending the last six seasons coaching running backs for the Cardinals. Faulkner, a native of Muncie, also served as BSU's offensive coordinator for the past two years and recruited many of the players on the current Ball State roster. He is the third NIU coach to face the team he coached last year, joining Dave Doeren (Wisconsin) and Richard McNutt (Kent State).
Dual Threat
Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler Harnish is making a name for himself as one of the top dual threat signal callers in the nation. Harnish has rushed for over 100 yards and passed for more than 200 in each of the Huskies' last two games as he ran for 151 yards and passed for 294 in NIU's win over Bowling Green after totaling 133 rushing and 265 yards passing (with six TD passes) at Toledo. He leads all FBS quarterbacks with 1,022 rushing yards on 127 carries and is averaging 102.2 yards per game to rank 25th in the country (as of Nov. 10) and second in the MAC. With an average of 8.0 yards per carry, he is on pace to destroy the NIU single-season mark for yards per carry of 6.76 set by Adam Dach in 1990. His passing efficiency rating of 155.6 (on 168-of-267 passing with 20 touchdowns, 4 interceptions for 2,256 yards) ranks in the Top 15 in the country and second in the MAC.
Dual Threat II
With 151 rushing and 294 passing yards at Bowling Green, Chandler Harnish surpassed the 1,000 and 2,000-yard marks in rushing and passing yardage for the season to become only the 10th player in NCAA FBS history to reach both marks in the same year. Harnish has 1,022 rushing yards and 2,256 passing to add his name to the list that includes Colin Kaepernick of Nevada, who reached the marks three times, Brad Smith of Missouri (twice), Texas' Vince Young, Auburn's Cam Newton and Michigan's Denard Robinson, among others. Harnish is the second MAC player to accomplish the feat, as he joins CMU's Dan LeFevour in the 1,000/2,000 club, and it has been done only 13 times previously.
He's Got Legs...
Chandler Harnish joined Stacey Robinson (1988-90) as the only Huskie quarterbacks to gain 2,000 career rushing yards. Harnish now ranks 10th on NIU's all-time rushing list with 2,626 yards on 471 carries and needs just 102 yards (his per game average) to surpass Robinson and take over ninth place on the all-time chart. Harnish also has 22 career rushing scores, with a career-high nine in 2011, to rank tied for ninth all-time in that category. His nine career 100-yard rushing games are 10th on NIU's career chart. He has led NIU in rushing in six games this season, including each of the last five, and currently ranks second in the MAC, and 25th in the country, in rushing yards per game.
Record Breaker
Quarterback Chandler Harnish currently owns or shares eight Huskie career passing and total offense records after tying the NIU career mark for touchdown passes with a career best SIX at Toledo (tied for the second-highest single game in school history and in MAC history), and two more at Bowling Green. Harnish is tied with College Football Hall of Famer George Bork (1960-63) as each have 60 career touchdown passes. In 43 career games, Harnish has completed 618-of-993 passes for 7,984 yards (all records) with five 300-yard passing games, including two this season. He has accounted for 10,610 yards of total offense and 82 touchdowns (rushing and passing) in 1,464 plays - also all school records.
The 200-200 Club
Chandler Harnish put himself in the NCAA record books with a rare 200-200 performance versus Western Michigan. Harnish became only the 10th player in NCAA FBS history to have 200 passing AND 200 rushing yards in the same game as he completed 14-of-27 passes for 203 yards and ran for 229 yards on 14 carries to power the Huskie offense. Harnish joined an elite list of players that includes Texas' Vince Young (2005), Patrick White of West Virginia (2006), Brad Smith of Missouri (2005), Indiana's Antwaan Randle El (2000) and Michigan's Denard Robinson (2010). Robinson is the only player to have two 200-200 games. Harnish's 432-yard total offense day earned Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week honors. The Huskie quarterback has rushed and passed for more than 100 yards in the same game eight times.
Great Game
Huskie quarterback Chandler Harnish remains the lone MAC player to rush for 200 or more yards in a game this season with his 229-yard effort versus Western Michigan; the performance ranks 10th among all players and is the top rushing total by any FBS quarterback in 2011. He gained 163 yards in the third quarter, the second-highest single quarter total ever at NIU, behind only a 173-yard second quarter by Stacey Robinson versus Fresno State on Oct. 6, 1990. It was the third-best rushing game by an NIU quarterback in school history and the best in 21 years, since Robinson's 306-yard total in that October 1990 win over Fresno State.
Best Passing Day
As a redshirt freshman starting his first career game at Minnesota in 2008, Chandler Harnish threw for 326 yards on 17-of-29 completions to record the best passing yardage day of his NIU career. That total held for 37 games, until Oct. 1, 2011 when Harnish threw for 370 yards on 27-of-50 passing at Central Michigan. The 370 yards rank sixth all-time at NIU, while 27 completions tied Harnish's career-best and are fifth on the single-game list as are the 50 pass attempts. Harnish's 462 yards of total offense (370 pass, 92 rush) versus CMU are the second-most by an NIU player ever, topped only by Phil Horvath's 477-yard game versus Akron on Sept. 24, 2005.
A Different Defense
After giving up 60 points in a Northern Illinois WIN the week before, the Huskie defense put together one of its best performances of the season at Bowling Green. After giving up an 83-yard touchdown pass on the game's first play, the Huskies held the Falcons scoreless until 14 seconds before half, when BG engineered a one-minute touchdown drive. NIU shutout Bowling Green in the second half to record its first shut out half of the season while allowing the Falcons just 90 yards of total offense and forcing two three-and-outs. For the game, Bowling Green had four three-and-outs and just 79 rushing yards.
Academic Honor
Northern Illinois junior noseguard Nabal Jefferson (Chicago, Ill./Marist) earned first team Capital One Academic All-District honors this week and is now eligible to earn Academic All-America recognition from the College Sports Information Directors of America, the organization announced this week. Jefferson, an accountancy major with a 3.91 grade point average who is having a career year on the NIU defensive line with 28 tackles, is the Huskies' first Academic All-District selection since 2008.
Speading the Wealth
Senior Willie Clark became the sixth different Huskie receiver to record multiple touchdown catches this season after he scored twice on long pass receptions at Bowling Green, giving him three TD catches this season. Clark also became the third different NIU receiver to have a 100-yard day this year with four catches for a career-best 109 yards versus the Falcons. Martel Moore (130 yards on 6 catches at Central Michigan) and Nathan Palmer (120 yards on 4 catches at Toledo) are the other 100-yard Huskie receivers in 2011. Moore and Palmer are tied for the team lead in TD catches with four.
Long Play
Sophomore tailback Akeem Daniels made the longest play of the day, and the longest reception of the season, Tuesday at Bowling Green when he caught a 79-yard touchdown pass from Chandler Harnish on the fly sweep. Daniels' catch and run was the first score of the second half and gave NIU a 31-14 lead. It was the longest pass play for the Huskies since 2008 when then-freshmen Harnish and Nathan Palmer connected on a 91-yard pass play versus Minnesota.
Wild One at Toledo
Chandler Harnish completed his sixth touchdown pass of the night on a four-yard toss to Perez Ashford with 19 seconds on the clock to lift NIU to a wild 63-60 win over Toledo in the Glass Bowl on Nov. 1. Harnish ran for 133 yards and passed for 265 to lead the nearly unstoppable Huskie offense. After taking a 49-41 lead early in the fourth quarter, NIU gave up back-to-back touchdowns to the Rockets to fall behind 53-49 before coming back twice in the final eight minutes to claim the Huskies' third win all-time at the Glass Bowl. NIU struck quickly early as freshman Tommylee Lewis brought the opening kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 95-yard return after Toledo answered with a score.
MAC Honorees
After leading the Huskies to a 63-60 win at Toledo by throwing six touchdown passes - the second-most in MAC and in NIU history - including the game-winner with 19 seconds left, Chandler Harnish was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week and the Rivals.com MAC Player of the Week for the third time this year. Harnish completed 17-of-26 passes for 265 yards and rushed 16 times for 133 yards. He threw touchdown passes of 6, 71, 16, 19, 15 and 4 yards to pick up MAC POTW honors for the eighth time in his career. Freshman kickoff returner Tommylee Lewis also earned MAC West Specialist of the Week recognition for the Toledo contest after returning a pair of kickoffs for touchdowns (see below).
Lightning Strikes - Twice
Versus Toledo, fans had barely settled in their seats when NIU freshman Tommylee Lewis brought the game's opening kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown, tying the school record for longest scoring play (Dave Petway, 100-yard INT return vs. Southern Illinois, 10-22-77) and setting the mark for longest kickoff return TD (previous record, 98 yards by Byron Florence vs. Western Michigan, Sept. 23, 1972). Four minutes and 30 seconds later, Lewis went 95 yards - untouched - to the end zone for his second touchdown of the game. That return is tied for the ninth-longest scoring play, and fifth longest kickoff return, in NIU history.
Elite List
Lewis joined a group of 13 players in Football Bowl Subdivision (NCAA Division I-A) history who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same game. The list includes players like Raghib Ismail (Notre Dame), the only person to score twice on kickoff returns in two games. With his two kickoff return scores versus Toledo, Lewis became the first player in Northern Illinois history to return two kickoff returns for scores in the same game and he tied the NIU records for most kickoff return scores in a season and in a career.
Adding to Lewis' Lore
In addition to the single game, single season and career marks for kickoff return touchdowns, Lewis broke the record for most kickoff return yards in a game with 223 on four returns for an average of 55.7 yards per return. He broke the previous record of 185 kickoff return yards set by John Spilis vs. North Dakota State on Sept. 28, 1968 and tied by A.J. Harris vs. Akron (9-24-05). His average per return broke the record of 42.3 compiled by Tommy Davis versus Eastern Michigan in 2009. The Huskies also set team marks for most kickoff return yards and most TDs.
50 Strong
Huskie senior offensive tackle Trevor Olson will set the NIU school record for games started Tuesday night when he is slated to make his 51st career start. At Bowling Green, Olson tied former Huskie center Eddie Adamski (2006-09) with his 50th career start. Olson, the Huskies' starting left tackle since 2008, was a first team All-MAC choice a year ago. To date, Olson's career has taken a similar path to that of one of his NIU predecessors at left tackle, Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Doug Free, who started 48 games - every game of his NIU career - from 2003-06.
Up Front
NIU features one of the top offensive lines in the country with redshirt seniors Trevor Olson (LT), Scott Wedige (C), Joe Pawlak (RG) and Keith Otis (RT) and redshirt junior Logan Pegram (LG) powering the Huskies' offensive machine in 2011. Behind that line, NIU ranks in the Top 16 nationally in rushing offense (9th), scoring offense (10th), total offense (16th) and just as importantly to that group, the Huskies rank fifth in the country in fewest sacks allowed. Northern Illinois has given up one sack or less in nine of the team's 10 games this year and has not allowed a sack in its last five games, since the Central Michigan game. The five veterans up front have made 155 combined starts, led by Olson's 50 and former walk-on Pawlak's 37. Otis and Wedige have 24 starts each; Pegram has started 20 contests.
Forty is the New 30
With its season-best 63-point outburst at Toledo, Northern Illinois broke its school record for most 40-point games in a season and the Huskies have now hit that mark in eight of 10 games this year, including in two of NIU's three losses. The 2011 Huskies broke the mark they shared with the 2010 and 2000 NIU teams. Northern Illinois is now averaging 41.6 points per game, above last year's average of 38.0 points per game, which stands as the school record.
Hoosier State Hook-Up
Senior Nathan Palmer (Elkhart, Ind.) was on the receiving end of three Chandler Harnish (Bluffton, Ind.) touchdown throws at Toledo, to tie for third place on the NIU single game list for TD receptions in a game. Palmer became the first Huskie player to catch three touchdown passes in a game since current Chicago Bear Sam Hurd versus Central Michigan on Nov. 5, 2005. His 120 receiving yards were the most for the Indiana native since the first game of his freshman season, when he and Harnish combined for 170 yards on three catches at Minnesota. Palmer, who leads the team in receiving with a career-best 34 catches for 473 yards, recorded the second 100-yard day by an NIU receiver this season. His touchdowns came on plays of six, 71 and 19 yards.
No Return
Through 10 games, Northern Illinois opponents have ZERO punt return yards. Opponents have returned only five of Ryan Neir's 37 punts and those returns have not resulted in any positive yardage. Of Neir's 37 punts, 23 have been fair caught and 10 have resulted in the opponent starting inside the 20-yard line. Neir has not had a kick go into the end zone. NIU ranks 76th in the country in net punting.
In the Zone
NIU is tied for second in the MAC in red zone offense with 50 scores in 55 trips inside the opponents' 20-yard line, including a 14-for-15 showing in its last two games. The Huskies have scored 38 touchdowns and 12 field goals from inside the 20 for a 90.9 percent rate. Northern Illinois has been in the red zone 11 more times than any other school in the league and have at least 10 scores more than any other school. NIU's 38 TDs is five more than the No. 2 team. The Huskies 91 percent conversion percentage ranks tied for 13th in the country.
Touchdown Time
Senior tailback Jasmin Hopkins has scored eight rushing touchdowns in the Huskies' last four games with a season-best three scores versus both Western Michigan and Buffalo. Hopkins, who ranks second on the team in rushing behind Chandler Harnish with 719 yards, now has 14 touchdowns, 13 rushing and one receiving. He has scored at least one touchdown in eight games and has four multiple touchdown games. With 14 TDs in 147 touches, Hopkins scores once every 10.5 times he touches the ball.
Middle Man
Back in his middle linebacker position for the first time since 2009, senior Pat Schiller leads the Huskie defense and ranks sixth in the MAC in tackles. Schiller has a career-best 86 tackles on the year with 35 solo stops and 51 assists. He has recorded a career-high eight tackles for loss and has 210 career tackles. Schiller has 10 or more tackles in four games this season.
Super Sophomore
After making a name for himself as a true freshman on special teams with three blocked punts, defensive back Jimmie Ward has become an every down player in the Huskies' defensive backfield in 2011. Ward ranks second on the team in tackles with 77 and his 37 solo stops are second on the squad. He led NIU in tackles at Toledo with a career-best 13 stops, and led Northern Illinois versus Wisconsin with 11 stops after registering 10 tackles at Kansas. The Alabama native also has a quarterback sack, two tackles for loss, a blocked punt and two pass break ups on the season.
Along the Line
While the Huskies' defensive line rotation features as many as 10 players, three have set themselves apart with their play so far this season. Defensive end Sean Progar, a first team All-MAC choice a year ago, leads NIU and is ranked sixth in the league with 4.5 quarterback sacks. Progar has 105 tackles and 26.5 tackles for loss in his career. His 14.5 sacks rank eighth on the career list. Meanwhile, defensive end Alan Baxter and defensive tackle Ron Newcomb are having career years. Newcomb, a senior, had never made more than 13 tackles in a season entering 2011 but has 39 stops and 9.5 tackles for loss this year. Versus Kent State, he totaled 2.5 sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss, made a career high nine tackles, forced a fumble and blocked a field goal to earn MAC West Defensive Player of the Week honors. Baxter leads all NIU players with 9.5 tackles for loss and has three quarterback sacks. His previous season bests were 4.5 and 0.5, respectively.
Good Day for the Defense
Northern Illinois held Kent State to 64 total yards, the lowest by an NIU opponent since the Huskies joined the Major College (Division I FBS) ranks in 1969. The Flashes' one rushing yard on 38 carries was the lowest total since Miami (Ohio) had minus 11 rushing yards on Oct. 24, 2009. KSU's 63 passing yards were the fewest since Eastern Michigan tallied just 11 passing yards last year (11-26-10). In addition, Northern Illinois' 15 tackles for loss were the most since NIU had a school-record 16 versus Eastern Michigan in 2002 (11-16), while the 84 yards lost were the most ever by an NIU defense, breaking the old record of minus 80 yards versus Wisconsin (9-14-02). The Huskies' eight sacks were their most since Oct. 24, 2009 versus Miami.
Their Town
Northern Illinois has 36 Chicagoland natives on its 110-man roster in 2011. NIU's Chicago contingent includes starters Da'Ron Brown, Jack Marks, Joe Pawlak, Keith Otis and Willie Clark on offense, along with Alan Baxter, Ron Newcomb, Nabal Jefferson, Sean Progar, Pat Schiller and Rashaan Melvin on defense.
Defensive Lineman's Dream
Nabal Jefferson fulfilled a defensive lineman's dream versus Kent State when he picked off an attempted screen pass and returned it 25 yards to record the first score of 2011 for the Huskie defense. Northern Illinois picked off a season-best two passes versus both WMU and Buffalo with safeties Demetrius Stone (WMU) and Dechane Durante (UB) and linebacker Michael Santacaterina (WMU) recording their first career INTs. NIU's interceptions have been by a linebacker (1), defensive linemen (2), defensive backs (4).
Kickin' It
With the Huskie offense scoring at a record rate, it's no surprise that sophomore kicker Mathew Sims is posting some noticeable numbers as well. Sims leads the MAC in kick scoring with 9.6 points per game with his 96 points (51 PATs and 15 FGs), tied for fourth on NIU's single season list. Sims ranks 16th nationally in overall scoring and is tied for 12th in field goals. His 51 PATs made already rank tied for second on the NIU single season chart. Sims made four-of-six field goals at Central Michigan, and hit all four of his three pointers versus Kent State when he was named one of the Lou Groza Award "Stars of the Week." His perfect day tied for the top percentage day in school history and was the first time since 2000 that an NIU kicker went four-for-four or better on threes.
Twenty-six players have seen their first action as Huskies this year, including true freshmen Tyler Wedel, Jason Meehan, Rob Sterling and Tommylee Lewis. Six redshirt freshmen have started games: Luke Eakes (TE/FB), Da'Ron Brown (WR), Jamaal Bass (LB), Michael Santacaterina (LB) Dechane Durante (S) and snapper Brian Mayer. Transfers Jamal Womble (RB), Leighton Settle (RB), Jhony Faustin (DB) and Tim Semisch (TE) have also played their first games as Huskies with Faustin and Semisch earning starts.
On the Blocks
Northern Illinois has blocked four kicks this season, including three punts. NIU blocked a punt and a field goal versus Kent State with Dechane Durante getting his hands on a punt, while Ron Newcomb knocked down a late Flashes' field goal attempt. NIU's other punt blocks this season have been by Courtney Stephen, who blocked a punt versus Cal Poly, and Jimmie Ward. Stephen recovered Ward's block versus Army and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown. A year ago, the Huskies blocked five punts and seven total kicks.
Senior CLASS Nominee
NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish was selected as one of 30 candidates for the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for football. The award honors seniors who have achieved in the community, classroom, character and competition. Harnish overcame a career-threatening knee injury and has played for three different head coaches and four quarterback coaches during his five seasons with the Huskies.
So Long Saturdays
The Buffalo game on Oct. 22 marked Northern Illinois' last Saturday game of the 2011 season. NIU enjoyed 10 days between the game at Buffalo and the first of its three straight Tuesday games (Nov. 1 at Toledo). The Ball State game is NIU's third straight Tuesday night game in November. Following this week's Tuesday tilt, Northern Illinois plays host to Eastern Michigan on Friday, Nov. 26.
Home SEVEN Home
Through five of its seven 2011 home games, Northern Illinois has posted a 4-1 record, including a 4-0 mark at Huskie Stadium. The lone loss came to No. 7 Wisconsin in Chicago at Soldier Field Showdown II. NIU's seven home games is the most since 2003, when the Huskies played seven games at Huskie Stadium and went 7-0 in those games en route to a 10-2 record. Northern Illinois played just five home games in 2010. The Wisconsin game marked NIU's second Chicago game after opening the 2007 season versus Iowa at Soldier Field. Northern Illinois returns to the site for the 2012 season opener versus Iowa.
Back to September
Northern Illinois posted a 2-2 record in non-conference play for the third straight season as NIU completed its 2011 non-league slate in September. The Huskies won their season opener for the first time since 2003 with a 49-26 victory over Army, then dropped a 45-42 decision at Kansas when the Jayhawks scored on fourth and goal with nine seconds left in the game. The Huskies ran into a powerful Wisconsin team in Chicago and fell to the No. 7 ranked Badgers 49-7 in Soldier Field Showdown II before defeating Cal Poly 47-30 in the non-conference finale to reach the 2-2 mark.
Lofty Ranking
Northern Illinois is ranked among the best football programs in the nation according to the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR). NIU's 987 APR for 2009-10 puts the Huskies in elite company, behind only Northwestern (993) and Rutgers (988) and ahead of teams like Duke (986), Stanford (977) and Vanderbilt (977). One of 14 teams in the country to receive an NCAA Public Recognition Award, NIU's APR of 987 is 41 points above the national average. The APR measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes.
Novak's Last Class
Of the 19 seniors on Northern Illinois' 2011 roster, 13 are fifth-year players signed as part of former head coach Joe Novak's last signing class. The 13 were on the Huskie team that won just two games in 2007 but are now among a very small group of Northern Illinois players to have played on three bowl teams. Among NIU's 13 fifth-year seniors, 10 are listed as starters and all 13 are on the two-deep. The group includes four players who were on the 2007 team as walk-ons, receiver Willie Clark, offensive guard Joe Pawlak, fullback Pat McAvoy and tight end Jack Marks, along with 49-game starter Trevor Olson at left tackle and four-year starting quarterback Chandler Harnish.
Back in Black
Northern Illinois unveiled new black jerseys versus Kent State and went with an "all black" look for the first time since the early 1990s. The Huskies wore red jerseys with black pants at home throughout the Joe Novak and Jerry Kill eras. The black jerseys featured red panels underneath each arm. NIU has had the jerseys since this summer and head coach Dave Doeren made the decision to break them out to start the October homestand. Northern Illinois wore black again versus Western Michigan and will be "back in black" for NIU's annual "Blackout" game versus Ball State on Nov. 15.
Honoring the Past
NIU honored its 1963 Huskie National Champion Football team by raising a banner atop a 63-foot permanent flag pole outside Huskie Stadium prior to the Homecoming game versus Western Michigan. Members of the 1963 team, including all-time great and College Football Hall of Famer George Bork, were in attendance. The flag pole is located just outside the gates at the southwest corner of Huskie Stadium and can be seen clearly from inside the stadium. The 1963 NIU team posted a perfect 10-0-0 record, capped by a victory over Southwest Missouri State in the Mineral Water Bowl, to claim the College Division Championship.

For those looking for a great swimsuit this summer, be sure to visit Lands' End and Glamour Getaway Tour, and talk to Kendall Farr, a Fashion Stylist, Top Selling Author and Glamour Swim Trends & Style Solutions Glambassador, about the latest swimsuit trends and style solutions for women of all shapes and sizes! The Getaway Tour was held at Flatiron Plaza on 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue today May 21, 2014 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (and then it will be touring Boston, Toronto, Chicago and Wisconsin)!
Guests received free professional bra and swimsuit fittings, style tips and a chance to shop for the perfect swimsuit with the help of Kendall Farr and Lands' End professional swim fit specialists. The first 100 attendees were each gifted a VIP gift bag complete with summer essentials and a great summer read from Random House Books, and everyone received 30% off regularly priced swimwear! The promotion code for this offer is SWIMNYC (pin code 5214) and is valid through 11:59 p.m. on May 22, 2014 at the Getaway event, or at www.landsend.com. After the event getaway swimsuit experience, attendees can take an event photo to be shared socially on Instagram or Twitter (tag it #GetawayTour) for a chance to win one of the Getaway Tour prizes ranging from $100 Lands' End gift card to a summer reading library from Random House (12 great summer reads)!
"We know the key to a flattering swimsuit is finding the perfect fit, and that's why we are excited to announce we are taking our professional swim fit experts on the road to offer personal swimsuit fittings and style advice to women in six cities throughout the US and Canada," said Michele Donnan-Martin, EVP, Merchandising & Design, Lands' End. "The Lands' End swimwear team takes this challenge seriously, and while we have designed thousands of swimsuit styles for women over the years, it still comes down to flattering one figure, one woman at a time and that's what we are excited to offer during the Lands' End Getaway Tour."
After the attendees received their perfect fitting swimsuit, Kendall Farr, fashion stylist, top-selling author and Glamour Glambassador offered expert advice ranging from how to accessorize to how to experiment with the latest swim trends. According to Kendall, it's simple to find the perfect swimsuit for each and everyone's specific body type. If you're a plus size or curvy body type, the Slender Scoopneck One Piece Swimsuit is a good choice because it offers targeted control in the middle area, and minimizes and creates curves for those with a straight waistline. Kendall also likes the Slender Ruffle Swimsuit, because it smooths curves, minimizes the tummy area, and draws the eyes up and down, which a fantastic way to minimize and favor an hourglass shape. Kendall's favorite swimsuit in the architecture group and the most unique one piece at the event, is the One Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit! This swimsuit's one shoulder detail offers targeted control through the stomach area that pulls the tummy in. Per Kendall, the horizontal drape across the middle of this one shoulder swimsuit "fakes" the look of a more hourglass silhouette, and smooths out the tummy area. To see Kendall's invaluable swimsuit advice that she offered at the Lands' End and Glamour Getaway Tour in NYC today, visit here. Also, here's a quick two minute video of the Lands' End Getaway event in NYC.

Chevrolet EL Camino Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Chevrolet EL Camino body kits are additional components that can be installed to upgrade and rejuvenate a vehicle's appearance. After years of usage, the exterior components on many automobiles starts to look worn and old. Any damage to a car's paint or to the exterior parts themselves can depreciate a automobile's resale value, making the use of bodykit is just that significant. A body kit can make a vehicle look better, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the car.
Some custom Chevrolet EL Camino body kit products come with replacements for several highly affected exterior parts, air dams and side add ons. These are the places of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these aren't the only parts that could be easily replaced. Other custom body parts can be used to customize a vehicle's look, so Chevrolet EL Camino body kit can sometimes be tailored to a car owner's specific needs. For an improved appearance that replaces the outdated looks came from years of driving, a cool body kit can serve you well.

June 13th, 2014
By Dave Reardon
In the interest of hearing out differing opinions, here's an email reader Gary Beck said I could share. He described today's column about the Washington NFL team's nickname as an "atrocity." Interesting choice of word considering the subject matter and origin of the nickname:
I was exceedingly disappointed to learn that you have been seduced by a narrow view (financed no doubt by casinos and tax-free cigarettes) of a much larger situation. From what I have read, only 10% of native Americans hold such a view, and the rest don't care. I have seen the ad and nearly barfed.
I see this ad as a version of the Cloward and Piven strategy for forcing change (overwhelm the opposition thru sensationalism and deceit), Obama's strategies for inducing societal change, and even the Abercrumb's trying to sell pig-in-a-poke universal Pre-K Ed. The next step in this scenario is to vilify and roundly castigate any and all dissenters.
The larger issue is that an attack such as the ad ignores something all American sports fans do--love their teams as they are because the names are steeped in tradition. If the trend involving the D.C. pro football team is allowed to continue, what will happen to the Cleveland Indians (with the ugly logo), Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Braves, some U in the Dakotas named the Fighting Sioux, the Fighting Illini in Illinois, and many others?
What will happen if a bunch of southerners demand that the name of the baseball Yankees be changed to Carpetbaggers?
What is needed is a balance between tradition and propriety.

Leadership is about you.
Leadership is your ability to lead yourself towards achieving outcomes you set for yourself and others.
Leadership starts and ends with you.
It's about self–leadership. It's about leading yourself first.
Without leading yourself first, how can you effectively lead others? If your own life isn't in order, how can you expect to lead others towards success? It's like a baker who can't bake expecting his team to bake and sell really tasty cakes. Probably won't happen.
Self-leadership is the ability to masterfully lead yourself so you can exquisitely lead others.
Based on my own leadership journey and on my experience coaching leaders, I believe there are 7 simple yet powerful core principles to effective self-leadership.
- Know your personal mission, values and vision
- Be responsible and accountable for your actions and reactions
- Develop self-awareness in all areas of you life
- Cultivate EQ Emotional Intelligence
- Be financially responsible
- Be physically healthy
- Create goals, systems and habits to succeed
It's my team, not me.
I've heard countless stories from leaders who do not understand how these 7 simple principles apply to their ability to lead others.
Here is a short list of tales:
- A leader who states their team doesn't communicate effectively, even though he has a hard time communicating with his boss.
- A leader who bemoans the poor relationships with his managers, even though he is half of the relationship.
- A leader who doesn't understand why his team cannot complete goals on time, even though he has poor time management.
- A leader who can't understand why his projects are always over budget, even though he sets the budget.
- A leader who doesn't understand why his team doesn't have the energy to perform at high levels, when he doesn't have the energy either.
Do these sound familiar?
Many issues, which leaders and managers say are the team's problems, are really their problems and if they rectified their behavior, the team's behavior would have a greater chance of changing as well.
As a leader, you need to develop your self-leadership and model the behaviors and traits you desire from your team. This is not "do as I say, not as do" time.
If you want to lead, you need to walk to the talk and lead yourself first.
7 Core Principles of Self-Leadership
- Know your personal mission, values and vision. Knowing why you are here, what guides you and what you want, gives you the foundation for your life and for what type of leader you want to be. Put your mission, values and vision on paper and review them periodically. Keep them in front of you to remind you of who you really are and what you really want.
- Be responsible and accountable for your actions and reactions. Take ownership of your decisions, actions and outcomes. You are in a position of power. You are not a victim. Playing the victim role is easy and there is no place for it in self-leadership. You always have a choice in how you react to any situation. Embodying this principle alone will set you apart from the crowd and give you a tremendous advantage in life and leadership.
- Develop self-awareness in all areas of your life. Get to know your habits, the good and the bad. Understand your underlying behaviors. Know which ones are strengths and which ones sabotage your mission and vision.
- Cultivate Emotional Intelligence (EQ). This ties right in with self-awareness and is crucial to all of your interactions, especially those as a leader. Learn to manage and regulate your emotions to achieve high value relationships and results.
- Be financially responsible. Whether we like to admit it or not, money plays a huge role in our lives. If we allow, money can dictate many of our actions or inactions. It can impact our moods, emotions and how we approach achieving our vision and living our mission. Understanding your personal finances and knowing how they interplay with your life is crucial to self-leadership.
- Be physically healthy. Diet and physical fitness impact every emotion, thought, action and outcome. What you put in your body directly affects your brain chemistry and energy. Your level of activity also determines moods, energy and the ability to think clearly. By treating your body poorly, you are treating your mind poorly, which negatively impacts your moods, emotions, thinking and results.
- Create goals, systems and habits to succeed. Without goals, systems and habits, what are we but rudderless ships afloat in the ocean of life? To be successful, to live your mission and to achieve your vision, you must establish goals, systems and habits which move you forward. You must break bad habits and instill great habits. You must use systems that push you out of your comfort zone. You must do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.
These core principles are a guiding set of behaviors and beliefs to help you lead yourself first and thereby more effectively lead others.

The bladder is a hollow organ located in the pelvis, or lower abdomen. The bladder has two important functions:
Urination can be abnormal if the bladder is unable to empty itself fully or empties itself before one reaches the bathroom. There can also be leakage before or after urination due to problems with bladder control.
When the conditions of the nervous system affect the bladder, it is called "neurogenic bladder." Conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, disk herniation, and other nervous system abnormalities can result in neurogenic bladder.
There are two major types of bladder control problems that are associated with a neurogenic bladder. Depending on the nerves involved and nature of the damage, the bladder becomes either overactive (spastic or hyper-reflexive) or underactive (flaccid or hypotonic).
Several disorders can cause neurogenic bladder, including the following:
Underactive bladder may be a complication of diseases such as syphilis, diabetes, and polio.
The most common symptom of neurogenic bladder is being unable to control urination. Other symptoms include the following:
Your doctor may order several tests of the nervous system and the bladder to diagnose neurogenic bladder :
The doctor will perform a physical examination and ask about your medical history, especially about any neurological problems such as back injury, stroke, or other neurologic diseases.
There are five types of treatment for neurogenic bladder: physical-psychological, electrical-stimulatory, drug therapy, intermittent self-catheterization, and surgery. The correct treatment is determined by symptoms, type, and extent of nerve damage, and a thorough discussion with the patient.
There are certain drugs that reduce muscle spasms and tremors, and other drugs that produce contractions.
Catheters are devices that can be inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine. Patients can learn to insert the catheter themselves. This treatment is called Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC).
An indwelling (Foley) catheterization places a catheter in the bladder for an extended period of time. Catheters prevent bladder swelling by continually draining urine into a bedside collector. The patient must employ strict sanitary procedures to prevent urinary tract infection.
Although many of these procedures may appear to create a burden, they can prevent kidney damage. If neurogenic bladder is not treated, it can lead to renal disease (kidney failure). Patients who have renal disease may need dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to live.
Absorbent undergarments, pads, panty shields, panty liners, and adult diapers can help prevent wetness and odors while protecting skin and clothing. Bed pads can protect sheets and mattresses for patients who wet the bed.

magnetic bearing
Established in 1998, China Xiaowei Bearing Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in magnetic bearing manufacturer and design many kinds of bearings. We have a modernized staffs of tech research and fog machine development, ISO9001 certificated, and manufacturing adopts advanced domestic and foreign standards such as GB, API, JIS, DIN, BS, NF and ANSI.
magnetic bearings show
Magnetic bearings are an attractive alternative to ball bearings for several key reasons. Magnetic bearings provide electromagnetic suspension of the inner race, therefore, replacing the ball component with an air gap. An obvious advantage of magnetic bearings is that there is no physical contact between the inner and outer race, eliminating problems cause by friction such as maintenance, wear, and failure issues. Magnetic bearings do not require lubrication, as ball bearings do. An electromagnet levitates the inner shaft. A sensor constantly monitors the position of the inner shaft, sending feedback back to the power supply. The power supply then adjusts the current in the electromagnet in order to keep the inner shaft centered. In complex systems, this process could happen thousands of times a second. An exterior force is used to spin the inner shaft, or in our case, the steel ball. Our sponsor is particularly interested in the design of magnetic bearings for flywheel applications. For flywheel operation, a motor is used to spin a disc, creating kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is stored in the spinning disc until it is needed, at which point the kinetic energy is converted back into electrical energy.
The Danfoss Turbocor family of compressors' rotor shafts and impellers levitate during rotation and float on a magnetic cushion. Two radial and one axial magnetic bearing are employed. Bearing sensors feed back real-time orbit information to digitally controlled bearings. Centered rotation is instantaneously self-corrected and maintained. When not powered, the rotor is supported by carbon composite, touchdown bearings designed for years of use. Three magnetic-bearing reaction wheels apply a torque on the satellite to rotate it about one of its three axes. - Two magnetic torquers interact with the Earth's magnetic field to generate torques and thus control the speed of rotation of the reaction wheels. In certain operating modes (chiefly acquisition and fallback failure modes), thrusters may be used instead of the reaction wheels and magnetic torquers. The thrusters generate a moment arm about the satellite's centre of mass that induces a rotation about one of the three axes. The magnetic turbo generator is made of a turbine wheel driving a high speed generator mounted on two magnetic bearings. Magnetic bearings consist of three main components; a magnetic actuator, a sensor, and a feedback controller. To understand how magnetic bearings work, one must first understand the role of the three components used in levitation.

While we love getting all fancy-shmancy dressed up in heels and a pretty party dress, some days, it's just too damn cold! That's when we reach for our Merona Printed Trouser Pants ($25) to wear with a billowy blouse and a blazer. The print is festive, the style is modern, and the waist has a drawstring. That last part turns out to be especially important after we've eaten half a dozen mini quiches and a chocolate tart. Fine. Two chocolate tarts.

Considering how both DJIA and NASDAQ were destroyed today, for Jones to set a new 52 week high, on continued high volume is really a very, very strong showing.
Except can't pass .75 cents and volume dried up from yesterday. BB stocks don't follow NYSE , so don't try to fool the baggies.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Agreed, nice volume and a tight trading pattern. Could be automated trading bringing volume today from yesterday's rally though. I guess we'll see tomorrow.
Automated trading on a Bulletin Board stock? You can't be serious.

by Dante Alighieri
Purgatorio Purgatory Canto XVIII (Fourth Terrace: the Slothful) Summary
- Finally finishing his little lecture from Canto XVII, Virgil watches Dante to make sure he's gotten everything.
- Dante perhaps still has more questions but remains silent, thinking he's already annoyed his guide by asking too many.
- You'll remember, though, that Virgil is good at reading Dante's mind. So he tells Dante to quit being so nice and to just go for what he wants.
- So Dante asks the million-dollar question, one that all of us have stayed up at night pondering: What is this love which Virgil claims causes all good and evil?
- Taskmaster Virgil orders Dante: "direct your intellect's sharps eyes toward me." In other words, "Pay attention!" Then he launches into a second lecture.
- The soul, which he's already established is made by God to love, is drawn to anything pleasurable. For Virgil, this means anything beautiful.
- When we see something we like, our minds conjure up an image of that thing in an idealized form, so that what we're seeing and lusting after is not really the real thing in the material world, but some too-good-to-be-true illusion. When our soul has "turned towards it" and does so frequently, it's called love.
- Just when we're beginning to actually understand what Virgil's saying, he goes into metaphorical mode. He compares man's longing for said beautiful object to the natural propensity of fire to reach towards the sky, where the ethereal fire burns.
- Note: This is one of those weird medieval things. At that time, common belief held that all of the elements—water, air, earth, and fire—have both earthly forms and higher, heavenly forms. So even beyond heaven, there's a ring of ethereal fire surrounding us and this is Virgil's explanation for why when fires burn, their flame-tips reach upwards. The flames are just trying to get back to their purest form in the sky.
- Now, Virgil continues, there are some folks out there who say that all love is good. But, Virgil says, that's simply a load of bull because although God's love is holy and perfect, man's love is not always the mirror image of God's.
- All good, right? Of course not… Dante, being Dante, sees a problem. He's satisfied now with the definition of love, but if—as Virgil says—love is the only force that drives man to act (and God makes it that way), how can it be said that man has free will? How can he be rewarded or punished for his actions if God controls them all through love? Good question.
- Of course, Virgil has an answer ready. But for the first time, we see a glimmer of doubt in him. He replies to Dante's question, but first gives a caveat: he [Virgil] will answer only so far as reason can apply, but to get past the utter implausibility of these words and learn faith, Dante should trust to Beatrice.
- Back to Virgil: He starts off on the seemingly unrelated tangent that one cannot see love, but can only know of its presence through one's actions. Strange idea? Virgil apparently thinks it needs some explaining, so he compares it to a tree. Nobody would know trees were alive except that they sprout leaves and flowers periodically.
- In this same way, human beings are completely unaware that love is their innermost, motivating desire. So this Love that God puts in us is pre-ordained and we can't do anything about it. Thus, man cannot be praised or blamed for that part of him.
- There is, however, another part of man that judges and distinguishes between right and wrong, and this is the part of man that can be praised or blamed for his actions, because it's his free will.
- So, even though one's love may make him desire a million things at once, one still has the power to restrain those desires by exercising free will.
- This ability to control one's desires, Virgil says, is what Beatrice means by free will.
- With that, the lecture ends. Good timing, because now the moon has risen so high that its light makes the stars dim. In other words, it's late.
- Dante's all happy, having absorbed his daily quota of knowledge from Virgil. He is about to fall asleep on his lovely ledge of rock, when a partying crowd interrupts him.
- Okay, we admit it's not actually a party, but a group of penitents singing counterexamples of sloth. Which is probably as close to a party as you're going to get in Purgatory.
- Two of the penitents run ahead of their main posse, babbling. The words are about Mary rushing to a mountain and Caesar rushing back and forth across the Continent to make war.
- The rest of the penitents rushes after the first two, shouting stuff about making haste because there is so little time. They want to work so hard! They want to be so productive!
- Virgil tries to calm them down by assuring them that Dante—still a living man—will pray for them, if they'll just do a small favor and show them the way up the mountain.
- One nice guy answers, telling Virgil and Dante to follow, saying not to be offended by their hurry: it's their punishment for being lazy on earth.
- The nice man keeps on talking at 80 mph. He tells them he was the abbot of St. Zeno in Verona.
- This triggers a cascade of memories and prophecies which he, of course, cannot keep to himself. So he tells Dante and Virgil all about the future of St. Zeno. Right now, it's under the rule of a man "with one foot in the grave, who soon will weep over that monastery." Why? Well, this man has stupidly handed down the abbacy to the worst possible candidate: his illegitimate son. (For the record, the father is Alberto della Scala and his son is Giuseppe.)
- This is all that Dante's able to hear from the abbot, because at this point the rush of the crowd has carried him far away.
- Virgil turns his attention to the last two members of that crowd, who are still within earshot.
- As they run away, Dante hears the Slothful penitents giving two last examples of lazy people who have been punished. They chatter on about the Israelites who refused to follow Moses to the Promised Land; they were left to die in the desert. The Trojans who pled exhaustion to get out of following Aeneas to Italy died also cowardly deaths.
- As these words of wisdom fade away, Dante has a host of new thoughts, which float randomly from one to the other. In other words, he's having some crazy dreams.

The Warren, New Jersey-based
Hyde and Watson Foundation
supports capital projects associated with programs in the fields of education, social services, arts, health, religion, and humanities located primarily in the five boroughs of New York City and in New Jersey's Essex, Morris, and Union Counties. The Foundation Center asked William V. Engel, the foundation's president:
Unlike many foundations, you provide support primarily for capital projects undertaken by nonprofits working in your fields and geographic areas of interest. How has this funding strategy helped the Hyde and Watson Foundation to achieve maximum impact in the communities that it serves, and how can other grantmakers in the region collaborate with you as co-funders and/or program partners?
"Since we are one of a very small number of foundations who fund capital needs, we find that even small grants can provide a critical piece of a larger project or program that would otherwise not be covered. Additionally, by making grants for mundane yet essential capital needs, such as computers or phone systems, we can ensure that many nonprofits with very limited budgets and staff — particularly in fields such as social services and the arts — can continue to provide their vital programs to their clients.
"We regularly interact with our colleagues in ways both formal and informal. At times, we have formally collaborated on joint projects in a particular field or with specific grantees. We have coordinated with colleagues in providing the capital piece of a program or project that others are funding. Lastly, we share knowledge of grantees with other funders in our geographic areas and use our colleagues as resources for our grantmaking.
"We find that conversations with our grantees and colleagues are particularly helpful in effective grantmaking. We try to work with our grantees as partners and learn from them, as well as share our knowledge. Ten- or fifteen-minute phone conversations to clarify information in a proposal can be mutually valuable to us and to our grantees, and are a great supplement to the more formal review of proposals and financial statements."

Jenelle Evans is on a popular MTV reality show, "Teen Mom 2," so often, her photos are valuable to photographers.
However, when it comes to her home in South Carolina, she's typically pretty secure -- at least she was until recently.
In a social media post earlier this week, Jenelle, who is several months pregnant with her second child, shared a photograph, reportedly of paparazzi outside of her home.
"I spy a camera man," Jenelle wrote on Instagram on March 24, along with a photo of her driveway, which had a man standing at the end of it and across the road.
Although Jenelle didn't seem phased by the man, it is a bit creepy to think that he was waiting for her outside of her home, even if it was just for a photo.
Hopefully, Jenelle doesn't have to deal with too much paparazzi attention. At this point in her pregnancy, it is important that she remains calm and stress-free and is able to enjoy the pregnancy.
As for when she is due, reports claim Jenelle will welcome her second child this June.

UIC Drops Home Match to Oakland Saturday
Oct. 19, 2013
CHICAGO - The UIC volleyball team could not find a rhythm offensively in a 3-0 loss (25-14, 25-18, 25-17) to Oakland Saturday inside the Flames Athletic Center. Oakland (9-13, 3-4 Horizon League) collected five total blocks and 11 service aces against UIC (7-15, 2-5 Horizon League).
Junior Molly McCoy came off the bench to put down a team-high seven kills on 16 attempts. McCoy missed four matches due to injury and has 14 kills on 34 attempts in two contests since her return.
Junior Sara Sternard put down six kills on 17 attempts and also collected three total blocks. She leads the squad with 13 solo blocks and 61 total blocks this season.
Senior MaryKate Imrie collected 19 assists, five digs and three kills. Imrie, who owns 3,343 career assists, needs 211 more assists this season to move past Carlyn Fisk (3,553 - 1988-91) into third all-time in program history.
Senior Justine Garcia compiled a match-high nine digs and added her team-leading 27th service ace of the season in the second set. Garcia (959 career digs) needs 41 more digs this season to join the 1,000-career dig club.
The Golden Grizzlies hit at a .318 clip (41 kills on 88 attempts) as a team while holding the Flames to a .076 attack percentage (24 kills on 79 attempts). Oakland used two blocks and five aces in the first set to record a 25-14 win.
Sternard put down three kills in the second set but Oakland held UIC to nine kills in a 25-18 set victory. The Flames hit at a .348 clip (10 kills on 23 attempts) in the third set and held a 9-8 advantage following Imrie's third kill of the match. However, the Golden Grizzlies collected five service aces in the set and finished the match on a 17-8 run.
UIC begins the second half of Horizon League play next Saturday (Oct. 26) with a match at Valparaiso. The Crusaders defeated Oakland and Wright State over the weekend to improve to 18-4 overall and 6-1 in the Horizon League.

The Well
Hickory Hill had the novelty of running water by the early 20th century. Water pipes, aided by gas-powered pumps, ran from the cistern below the house to water towers at the mansion and the Jeffersonian Publishing Company building, where it gravity fed into the bathrooms. The well would have been maintained to supply water to the kitchen and in the event the engines powering the pumps failed.
The Dining Room
At Hickory Hill, meals were served family style. Ella Rochelle, the cook, served a mid-morning breakfast for Mrs. Watson and the granddaughters, Georgia Watson and Georgia Lee. Dinner, the main meal of the day, was served about noon and often included Mr. Watson's favorite dishes of squab or roast beef. Supper, the lighter evening meal, was often prepared by Mrs. Watson and might be a chicken pie or Campbell's Tomato Soup, another Watson favorite.
Seminar Room
In 1920, a young man came to Hickory Hill to film a newsreel – he predicted a storm brewing in Georgia. Tom Watson was about to launch his run for a final political office – the U.S. Senate. The young man was Myron Selznick, the brother of David O. Selznick who would go on to direct Gone with the Wind.
Mrs. Watson's room
Tom Watson met Georgia Durham in 1876. She was the adopted daughter of Dr. George Washington Durham, one of the noted "Durham Doctors" of Scull Shoals, GA. Some mystery surrounds Miss Georgia's childhood. According to Durham family lore, Dr. Durham was traveling with the Confederate army through Savannah and found a lovely little girl with golden curls living in the cottage of an elderly slave couple. The couple told him the child's mother, a Lewis, had died and the father, a Parker, was a Yankee. At the outbreak of the War, Parker was turned out by the Lewis family because he was a Yankee. Lewis left the girl with the slave family, promising to return for her. The family heard alter Parker was killed trying to cross Confederate lines around Savannah. Dr. Durham adopted the little girl and took her back to Scull Shoals.
The Music Room
Music often filled the halls of Hickory Hill. The Watson's daughter, Agnes, was a fine pianist and her father was a renowned fiddle player. Several songs were written about Tom Watson including the Tom Watson Special by Fiddlin' John Carson.
East Parlour
The restoration of Hickory Hill was guided by many primary sources – photographs, oral histories, and the historic fabric of the home itself. Most of the furniture in the house was purchased by Tom and Georgia Watson and kept in the family after the Watson's died. Restoration of the wallpapers was guided by recollections from Georgia Watson Craven, photographs, and pieces of the wallpapers that were found beneath woodwork. It has all been painstakingly chemically analyzed and recreated to be as accurate as possible.
West Parlour
Tom Watson was one of the foremost defense attorneys in Georgia. The 1890 case of Jim Cody and C.E. MacGregor, began with a love triangle between the two men and a wealthy Warrenton widow. Cody shot MacGregor and then disappeared for several months. MacGregor survived, but went about town armed. When Cody came back to town he encountered MacGregor on the street in front of the widow's residence. MacGregor shot Cody, and then sent a telegram summoning Tom Watson before turning himself in to police. Watson successfully represented MacGregor, his best friend, with an argument of premeditated self-defense.
Mr. Watson's Room
Thomas Watson died on September 26th, 1922, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. It was estimated that 10,000 people came to McDuffie County for the funeral, which was held at Hickory Hill. Reverend E.J. Forester, formerly of the First Baptist Church of Thomson and Reverend J.T. Eakes of the Thomson Methodist Episcopal Church officiated. Mrs. Watson passed away on May 14, 1923.
Alice Lytle Room
In 1908, Tom Watson hired Alice Louise Lytle to be the managing editor for the Tom Watson Magazine. A northern by birth, Mrs. Lytle had been both a businesswoman and a newspaper reporter prior to joining Watson's staff. She believed firmly that women should be well-versed in political topics in order to school their sons on events of the day. However, Mrs. Lytle was an anti-suffragist.
The Study
In the 1890s, Tom Watson left the Democratic Party and formed the People's Party of Georgia, the populists. Among the platform planks espoused by American populists were: a graduated income tax, the Australian or secret ballot voting system, the direct election of senators, and elimination of trading in agricultural futures.
Exhibit Room
From the 1930s through the mid-1940s, this bedroom was used by the Watson's granddaughter, Georgia Watson Craven, known to family and friends as Cuzzy. The meticulous restoration of Hickory Hill was due, in no small part to Miss Cuzzy's highly accurate memories of growing up in the house, where furniture was placed, and people who passed through its doors.
